Budget Presentation Set For May 29
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Mayor Kenneth Palmer will offer a detailed overview of the township’s 2018 municipal budget before council puts it to vote May 29. The council meeting will meet that Tuesday due to Memorial Day. The council introduced the budget at the end of April. Councilman Samuel Fusaro said there must be a month between a budget’s introduction and adoption. The public will be welcome to comment and ask questions at the 6 p.m. May 29 budget hearing, which will take place at the municipal building, 1 Colonial Drive. Palmer spoke briefly about the budget on April 23, saying the township was on good footing at the end of 2017 and into this year. The surplus grew to $7.6 million. The budget will increase from last year’s

By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Several upcoming meetings will be held to explain to residents the ins and outs of the township-wide reassessment. A reassessment is performed when a town’s total assessments are off from the fair market rate. Your property has a certain assessment that stays the same. When the market fluctuates, you eventually wind up paying too little or too much in taxes. The town’s tax assessor, Martin Lynch, said that the new values would be completed by tax year 2020. Inspectors have started to come around town to get fair assessments of every property. A reassessment does not necessarily mean an increase in taxes for every homeowner, he said. Some tax bills will go up, (Meetings - See Page 5)

big deal to Dominica. However, CVCJ, RWJBarnabas Health, and Community Medical Center think otherwise. To the hosts of the luncheon for Older Americans Month, the large senior citizen population of Ocean County is important and deserves to be celebrated. The luncheon, held at Community Medical Center on May 14, had nearly 40 Ocean County residents ages 95 to 102 in attendance to celebrate their lives and support Community Medical Center’s commitment to keeping people healthy and active through every stage of life. “It was reported that people over the age of 95 represent only .1 percent of the population,” said Jean Flaherty of Community Medical Center. “You’re a member of a very exclusive club and we’re really happy that you came today,” she said to the attendees. “Older Americans Month is a fairly new month of recognition established by a presidential proclamation in 2015, to celebrate the accomplishments and sacrifices of our elders,” said Michael Mimoso, President and Chief Executive Officer of Community Medical Center. “Among our special guests, there are more than 2,000 years of life experiences in this room; you’ve been a part of historic moments and seen the world change and accomplished incredible things.” Mimoso also emphasized that it is Community Medical Center’s mission to keep seniors healthy and out of the hospital.

Also continuing to stay active is 96-year old Anita Maynard, who has been volunteering at Community Medical Center since 1988. She has provided over 7,300 hours of service and still drives herself to and from the hospital. Anita still volunteers every once and a while at the hospital gift shop, noting that it keeps her busy and she meets some interesting people there. She also swims every day, doing exercise water aerobics that helps to keep her young. “I don’t feel
pain,” she said. Anita is from Poland with a slight Polish accent, and still feels very strongly about her heritage after all these years. She noted that she comes from the eastern part of Poland that is now considered the Ukraine but still thinks of it as home. Anita lived through World War II before she came over to the states nearly 70 years ago. The room was full of not just senior citizens but also deep and varied histories. According to Community Medical Center, our senior citizen population in Ocean County is the largest in the state of NJ. “We hope to see all of you back next year,” said Flaherty to attendees.

rector of Caregivers said, “All of us at (Caregivers) consider it such an honor to be a part of your life…you have inspired us and shared with your volunteers your wisdom and your advice.” Caregivers is “an interfaith nonprofit agency dedicated to providing free supportive services to the frail elderly and the homebound, enabling them to live independently and with dignity in their own homes,” according to their website. Whiteman remarked that some research led her to discover that three particular factors contribute to a long life: good nutrition, exercise, and staying connected to others. She said that she finds this to be true in many of Caregivers’ senior members. So, what is the secret to a long life? For Dominica, it is keeping active and busy, according to her Caregivers volunteer Joann. Dominica said she loves to bake, cook, and clean. Joann takes her to her doctor’s appointments, to the store, and even accompanies her to family events. Dominica is native to New Jersey, born in Elizabeth. Her parents came over to the States from Italy. Dominica said that she also speaks Italian. “I had to, my parents didn’t speak English.” For Art Edler, the secret is keeping himself surrounded with people. Art used to be a volunteer for Caregivers, where he volunteered to drive care receivers where they needed to go. He is now a Caregivers care receiver. “I run the whole gamut,” he joked. Art is a lively 95-year old who is active in church and is also a member of an “OB” group, short for “Old Bachelor’s.” Art

Club:
Continued From Page 1 recent Board of Education meeting. “These students work so hard all year long,” said Simister. “It’s like they play three sports, they compete all year.” The club has about 30 student members divided into three teams. They start in late September and meet from two to eight hours per week through late May. Simister said the club competes in four main competitions per year. They had competed in the SeaPerch and MATE underwater robotics competition in previous years, and recently added the Tech Prep competition at Ocean County College, which involves a land robot. She said the Tech Prep program also includes a programming component using Mindstorm and she wanted her students to get programming experience because that is where the jobs of the future will be.
Meetings:
Continued From Page 1 and some will stay the same, but some will go down. Meetings have been scheduled to provide information to residents about the process: • Manchester Municipal Building: May 23, 6:30 p.m. • Whiting Firehouse: May 24, 6:30 p.m. • Leisure Knoll Clubhouse: June 13, 10 a.m. • Country Walk of Lake Ridge Clubhouse: June 19, 7:30 p.m. • Leisure Village West: June 20, 1 p.m. • Crestwood Village Six Clubhouse: July 11, 1 p.m. • Leisure Ridge Clubhouse: July 12, 7 p.m. If any resident should have a question or concern related to the reassessment, they should contact the Tax Assessor’s office at 732-657-8121.
Budget:
Continued From Page 1 $33.906 million to about $35.039 million. Palmer will offer more details, including how taxpayers’ pockets will be affected, at that May 29 meeting. A copy of the introduced budget is available at manchestertwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/2018-INTRODUCED-BUDGET.pdf.

The Manchester Times, May 19, 2018, Page 5 The teams took part in two recent competitions. The first was the MATE (Marine Advanced Technology Education) underwater robotic competition at Villanova University. This was a multi-state competition including middle school through college levels. The other was the Tech Prep cardboard canoe design and race at Ocean County College. “In addition to designing and building their robots and canoes, these competitions require the students to maintain notebooks, both digital and written with drawings, to show the process from start to finish using the engineering design process. The students must do a presentation to a board of judges explaining their process throughout the year or planning period,” said Simister. The first time her students went to Tech Prep, Simister said the idea was to just to get information and learn what they would need to do. “Well, we took 2nd Place,” she remarked. “The next year we took every level of competition.” This year the MTMS teams took 1st and 2nd Place for presentation and 1st Place for robotic pickup and delivery.

Local Ballplayers Earn Conference Honors
By Chris Christopher hree ex-local high school baseball players have earned New Jersey Athletic Conference honors. Named to the first team was Rowan College junior righty Danny Serreino, who played for Jackson Liberty. Junior righty Andrew DiPiazza, the former Central Regional standout, was a second-team selection. Sophomore catcher Todd Bates, a former Brick Memorial player now with Montclair State University, was an honorable mention selection. Each player was honored after the regular season. Serreino was 3-2 with a 0.47 earned run average in NJAC play. He struck out 44 batters in 38 2/3 innings and tossed two shutouts. He led the NJAC in ERA and opposing batting average (.095), tied for first in strikeouts, ranked fourth in innings pitched and tied for seventh in victories. He was 6-2 overall with a 1.03 ERA and 71 strikeouts in 61 1/3 innings for the Profs. In the NJAC, DiPiazza compiled a 4-1 record, a 1.45 ERA and 36 strikeouts in 31 innings. He tied for second in wins, tied for fourth in strikeouts and ranked fifth in opposing batting average (.156) and seventh in ERA. He was 6-1 with a 1.34 ERA on the season. He whiffed 62 batters in 47 innings. He pitched for Mercer County Community College during the 2016 and 2017 seasons, putting up a 20-3 record and pitching five complete games en route to a 2.39 earned run average. He blazed his way to 193 strikeouts in 154 2/3 innings. He was named the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II Pitcher of the Year and a first-team All-American in 2016. DiPiazza, a 6-foot-7, 243-pounder, tied the school record with 15 strikeouts in a win against Ripon College Bates, who batted .261, scored 19 runs and drove in 14 runs. He fielded .984 and cut down 10 baserunners. Naif perfect: Felician University senior righty Dan Naif (Jackson Liberty) combined with a teammate on a three-hitter in the team’s 4-0 win over Goldey Beacom College. Naif hurled a perfect seventh inning in relief. The former Lion set Felician’s all-time appearances record (92) for a pitcher, working a scoreless bottom of the ninth in relief in a 15-5 win over Bloomfield College. Naif posted his Felician career record 32nd save in a 5-3 win over Post University. Corsi, McCabe aid win: New Jersey City University junior third baseman Matt Corsi (Toms River East) and junior lefty Kyle McCabe (Brick Memorial) helped the Gothics past Lehman College 15-3. Corsi went 1-for-3, singled home one run and scored one run. McCabe pitched 2 1/3 shutout innings, allowing four hits and tossing 26 pitches. Martone, Santoro contribute: Graduate
student Mike Martone (Brick Memorial) and junior Freehold resident Anthony Santoro (St. John Vianney) helped Felician past the University of the Sciences 15-1. Martone pinch hit a two-run homer in the ninth. He tucked the drive inside the rightfield foul pole to cap the game’s scoring. It was his first career homer for Felician. It came in his 109th career game. Santoro, a junior catcher, hit a run-scoring single in the third for a 6-0 lead. Feehan connects: New Jersey City University sophomore left fielder Bill Feehan (Point Pleasant Boro) stroked two hits in a 12-5 loss to host Montclair under the lights at Yogi Berra Stadium. Hughes hot on hill: Stockton University junior righty Ray Hughes (Lacey) was named the Osprey of the Week after tossing his first career shutout in a 7-0 win over New Jersey City University. Hughes struck out 10 and allowed four hits. He pushed his record to 3-2 and lowered his earned run average to 1.95 for fifth in the NJAC. He raised his team-high strikeouts total to 47. No catching Molloy: Former Toms River North speedster Zack Molloy helped the Rider University men’s swimming and diving team win the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship Meet for the seventh straight time. He captured the event’s Men’s Most Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet for the third consecutive year. On the first day of the meet, the former Mariner helped the Broncs win the 800yard freestyle relay in a meet-record 6:30.52, shattering the old record by almost four seconds. On the second day, Molloy sprinted to first place in the 50 freestyle in an MAAC and Rider record 19.66. Molloy swam the anchor leg on the 200 freestyle relay team, which won the even in an MAAC record 1:20.06. On the third day, Molloy swam the second leg on the second-place 400 medley relay team (3:16.62) and won the 200 freestyle in 1:35.33. On the final day of action, Molloy swam the opening leg on the winning 400 freestyle relay team. It set an MAAC record in 2:58.58. He broke the MAAC record earlier, winning the 100 freestyle in 43.10. Molloy owns the MAAC record in the 50, 100, 200 and 500 freestyles. Rider senior Ben Smith (Lacey) helped the Broncs to the team title, placing eighth in the 200 butterfly. Barnes among the best: Former Manchester player Kashaun Barnes, a Stockton University junior guard, made the All-NJAC second-team after starring for the Ospreys in men’s basketball during the regular season. Barnes placed third in the NJAC in scoring, averaging 18.0 points per game. The Toms River resident averaged 4.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per outing. He averaged 34.3 minutes per game for third in the NJAC and was 10th in the league in both free-throw percentage (.793 percent) and three-pointers made (2.0) per showing.
Barnes scored in double figures in 17 of his 20 games, including seven games with at least 20 points. He erupted for a career-high 37 points in an 89-81 win over Montclair State University, blazing away at a 14 of 23 clip from the field, including five of nine from downtown, in 40 minutes. He added six rebounds and four assists. Scott, Schleifer cited: Brick Township graduates Drew Scott and Matt Schleifer earned football honors at McDaniel College after starring for the Green Terror last fall. Scott, a senior linebacker, was named the Defensive Most Valuable Player. Schleifer, a return specialist-wide receiver, was named the Special Teams Most Valuable Player. Scott paced the Green Terror in total tackles (72), solo stops (45), assists (27) and tackles per game (7.2). He made six tackles for seven yards lost, forced one fumble and broke up one pass. He finished in a threeway tie for 12th place in the Centennial Conference in total tackles and played in 10 games. Schleifer, a sophomore, was honored as the club’s Special Teams Most Valuable Player. He paced the conference in punt return yards, returning 21 for 360 yards, an average of 17.1 yards per dash. He was second in the league in all-purpose yards with
1,272. He was sixth in the league in kick return average with 30 for 21.4 yards. He was first in kick return yards with 658. He blazed 92 yards with a punt return for a touchdown. He caught 19 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns and played in 10 games. Bradley honored: Former Jackson Memorial player Kenny Bradley, a senior linebacker and co-captain, won the Jim Butterfield Memorial Award after starring at Ithaca College last fall. The award recognizes a player’s outstanding contributions on the field and his desire to help the Bombers achieve success. Bradley finished in a two-way tie for first place on the team in total tackles (85). He paced the club in assists (58) and added 27 solos. He broke up four passes and made 5 1/2 tackles for 15 yards lost. He added one interception and forced two fumbles. The Bombers went 8-3 and won the Eastern College Athletic Conference title 27-17 over Salisbury University in the ECAC Scotty Whitelaw Bowl in Newark, Del. Bradley led the Bombers in total tackles (11) and made four assists to finish in a three-way tie for first on the team in helps. He forced one fumble.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER The Right To Die With Dignity Empathy is a feeling. Different than sympathy. Empathy is the ability to understand another person’s experiences. “The right to die with dignity” is a choice. If your religion forbids it, then do not do it. However, I choose to die with dignity, to die without pain and suffering or the loss of all my hard earned assets. At the end of life all is lost to doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and more.
We put our pets down when they are terminal and suffering, why should we deny humans the same right and choice? Please vote in your state for this bill to pass “the right to die with dignity.” You do not have to choose this for yourself but please vote for it for those like me who do need and choose this right at the time when it is necessary. Barbara Broderick Manahawkin

Letters To The Editor Emotional Ties At The Albert Music Hall
The seasons change, and with each, come many new visitors to Albert Music Hall. Upon witnessing a program, most newcomers will take it at face value as being just another music show. The general ambiance of the building and stage may also give a misleading first impression that this is a professional production. They may wonder at the low admission price, after seeing an almost four hour live concert performed by typically 30 or more talented musicians. Most do not even remotely consider the possibility that this is a 100 percent volunteer preservation organization. However, the novices may notice an uncommon degree of friendliness, familiarity, and interaction between musicians, staff and audience members. They may be intrigued by the impromptu musical gatherings in the Pickin’ Shed, on the porch, and occasionally in the parking lot. They may also be somewhat annoyed at the multiplicity of discussions abounding in the lobby, snack and gift booth areas. It seems that chatter and music is everywhere. Sadly, many may fail to comprehend one of the most unique and traditional characteristics of the Saturday night shows. This is the deep emotional tie that runs between the audience, the staff, and the performers. Professional music shows that I have seen, invariably offer well-trained performers, executing a carefully planned, technically excellent, well-rehearsed presentation in a very quiet theatre. At the same time, such professional shows always leave some (usually a lot) of emotional distance between those who perform and the audience. Spontaneity and basic sincerity are also often found lacking. They do their job, they do it well, they earn their pay, and then leave. At Albert Music Hall, the musicians form bands with friends, and arrange their own programs. While the groups often play together and always rehearse in the practice rooms before their set, the end result is often fairly spontaneous, reflecting the mood at the time.

Signs Of Dementia And Alzheimer’s Here I am sitting in front of my computer, wondering, “Why am I at my computer? Oh, yeah… an EMS article! What was I going to write?” Sometimes I just have those days. You too? I decided to look up some questions on dementia and Alzheimer’s. The following quoted is plagiarized from reliable sources on the Internet. I don’t get graded, or paid, and I admit the plagiarism up front so I think that makes it okay. “Is there a difference between dementia and Alzheimer ’s? Dementia is a syndrome, not a disease. ... Dementia is a group of symptoms that affects mental cognitive tasks such as memory and reasoning. Dementia is an umbrella term that Alzheimer’s disease can fall under. It can occur due to a variety of conditions, the most common of which is Alzheimer’s disease. Who usually gets dementia? It is rare for someone under 65 to have dementia, but it
and we call this ‘younger onset dementia’. People often wonder whether dementia is inherited. The answer for most of us is, no. The common forms of dementia are likely caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Can dementia be brought on by stress? Too much stress in your life can ultimately lead to depression and dementia, scientists have warned. A major review of published research suggests that chronic stress and anxiety can damage areas of the brain involved in emotional responses, thinking and memory, leading to depression and even Alzheimer’s disease. Common early symptoms of dementia include: memory problems, particularly remembering recent events, increasing confusion, reduced concentration, personality or behavior changes, apathy and withdrawal or depression, or a loss of ability to do everyday tasks. How do you test for dementia? Diagnosis of dementia: There is no one test to determine if someone has dementia. Doctors diagnose Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia based on a careful medical history, a physical examination, laboratory tests, and the characteristic changes in thinking, day-today function and behavior associated with each type. Can you reverse dementia? It was thought ‘no’ for quite a while. We now know otherwise. Similarly, dementia can be reversed if caught early enough and by attending to all the factors that affect brain function – including diet, exercise, stress, nutritional defi ciencies, toxins, hormonal imbalances, and inflammation. To do this is, in fact, quite simple.” There’s a lot more specific information online. Just type your question in your browser and it will pop up. HCBEMS is the busiest squad in Ocean County.

A Sarcastic Suggestion For Death Penalty Death penalty proponents are becoming increasingly concerned (especially in Texas), that because lethal injections have proved unreliable in dispatching the condemned, it will be used as an excuse by some for doing away with capital punishment. Former Texas Governor Rick Perry, an ardent death penalty supporter and “Pro-Life” advocate, feels executions are necessary if we are to weed out society’s misfits and keep the folks safe. Ever since “old sparky” was replaced by pharmaceuticals, things just haven’t been the same. To relieve the good people’s anxiety from the Lone Star state over this potential problem, permit me to offer a “modest proposal”: Bring back public hangings, or at least the firing squad. Better yet, how about beheadings! I think re-establishing these tried and true forms of punishment would go a long way in restoring people’s confidence in this conservative state make ‘em feel right at home. And I’d go one step further. To ensure the folks the job was done right, I recommend televising all executions in between NASCAR pit-stop races. In addition, I urge capital punishment events be viewed complete with slow-motion, stop-action and instant replay coverage, along with in-depth color commentary analysis. All of which I’m sure would exponentially add to the day’s festivities. Just think of the T.V. ratings! I sincerely hope death penalty backers will assiduously consider these most reasonable and constructive proposals that I believe will effectively end the lethal injection controversy once and for all.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Holzapfel, Wolfe & McGuckin Call For Restoration Of Homestead Rebates Cut By Gov. Murphy CAPITOL COMMENTS 10th Legislative District Senator Jim Holzapfel • Assemblyman Greg McGuckin • Assemblyman Dave Wolfe
NEW JERSEY – Senator Jim Holzapfel, Assemblyman Dave Wolfe, and Assemblyman Greg McGuckin (all R-10th) joined Ocean County Freeholder Joseph Vicari
in calling on Governor Phil Murphy to restore full funding to Homestead Benefit property tax credits for Ocean County’s seniors. Vicari sent a letter to the
Governor explaining the harm this cut would have on Ocean County’s large senior population. “Governor Murphy’s budget proposal would cut property tax credits under the Homestead Benefit program by $250,” said Holzapfel. “Our fixed income seniors don’t have the flexibility in their budgets to absorb such a big cut. The Governor’s plan will really hurt them. That’s why we’re joining Freeholder Vicari to call on Governor
Murphy to fully fund the rebates like he promised to do.” According to the Fiscal Year 2019 Budget in Brief provided by the Murphy Administration (see page 18), the governor has chosen to perpetuate a 50 percent cut to the Homestead Benefit Program in the current year’s budget that was to be fully restored in 2019. Holzapfel, Wolfe, and McGuckin said the approximately $150 million that’s being cut from property tax rebates
could be paid for by shelving approximately $150 million of pay raises Gov. Murphy has agreed to provide to a public employee union in a new contract, which includes 20 percent pay raises going forward. Under the terms contract, Governor Murphy has also agreed to give three years of retroactive pay raises at the expense of Ocean County seniors. Many union members will receive checks for back pay
Bill Would Make It Easier To Give To Charity From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith NEW JERSEY – A bipartisan bill, the Charitable Giving Tax Deduction Act, was introduced recently by Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th) with Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) as an original co-sponsor, to protect taxpayers and encourage charitable giving. “Charitable organizations are the life-blood of services to those in need in our society, and I am committed to a tax policy that amplifies their ability to serve our community,” said Rep. Smith, the author of the legislation. “Americans have been generous patrons of charitable causes, and we want to ensure that everyone has the support they need to continue their generosity to charitable and philanthropic causes.” “It is always important to give back to the community,” said Congressman Cuellar. “This bipartisan bill not only encourages us to help our fellow neighbors, but it also makes sure that taxpayers can receive their due deduction for charitable giving if they choose not to itemize. I am glad to support this legislation that will encourage charitable actions.” The bill would make chari-
table tax deductions universal and “above-the-line,” allowing all taxpayers the option to write off charitable donations on their taxes whether or not they choose to itemize, providing maximum relief for those looking to donate to tax-exempt charitable organizations. The amount of charitable contributions would not be capped under Smith’s legislation. The bill is supported by a consortium of charitable and faith-based organizations and philanthropic networks, including Agudath Israel of America, the Union of United Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, the New Jersey Catholic Conference, United Way Worldwide, the Animal Welfare Institute, the Council on Foundations, the National Association of Charitable Gift Planners, the Faith & Giving Coalition, the American Littoral Society, the New Jersey YMCA State Alliance, the Alliance for Charitable Reform, Independent Sector, and the Humane Society Legislative Fund. “Charitable giving is profoundly important for our nation, perhaps more now than ever before,” stated Rabbi Abba Cohen, Vice
President for Federal Affairs of Agudath Israel of America. “Particularly at a time when government deficits loom, charities are being asked to step up and provide services that help address our nation’s most pressing needs. Representative Chris Smith’s legislation will enhance the charitable deduction in a way that will lead to increased giving, ultimately making it easier for nonprofits to continue to perform their vital work for all Americans.” Nathan Diament, Executive Director for Public Policy for the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America - the country’s largest Orthodox Jewish umbrella organization - welcomed the legislation. “We at the Orthodox Union are grateful for Rep. Smith’s tireless efforts to bring this bill to fruition. Nonprofit groups, including the Orthodox Union, depend on taxpayer support to carry out our work, and this legislation will encourage people to make much-needed contributions that will strengthen charitable organizations across the country,” he said. “Due to the increase in the standard deduction and the elimination of many other deductions, it is expected that fewer people will itemize and thus will be unable to claim charitable donations a particular burden for small donors - which we presume will lead to a decline in such giving. There is no way to sugarcoat what this decline
will mean - a reduction in the vital and necessary work of the organizations that depend on such revenue,” Cathy Liss, President of the Animal Welfare Institute, stated. “This covers every aspect of society, from ensuring the humane treatment of animals to providing meals to the elderly and shelter to the homeless, from after-school enrichment programs for children to countless other endeavors.” Under the bill, “taxpayers will once again be encouraged to support charitable activities that serve so many needs in our communities,” Liss stated. “United Way applauds Congressman Smith’s recognition that charitable giving in America has long been - and must continue to be - driven by the middle class,” said Brian Gallagher, United Way Worldwide President and CEO. “At a time when too many people think giving is only for the wealthy, Congressman Smith’s legislation makes it easier for more people of all income levels to give and have a voice in the community-building process. We deeply appreciate Congressman Smith’s and Congressman Cuellar’s willingness to work across party lines and lead on a critical issue for all Americans, and particularly those in need.” “A true universal deduction is critical to correcting the impact of last year’s tax legislation,” said Vikki Spruill,
President and CEO of the Council on Foundations. “At its core, our nation’s charitable giving policies should encourage and enable those small and medium-sized donors who serve as a powerful engine in the sector’s ability to assist communities. This legislation brings those givers back into the fold by expanding the charitable deduction to millions more.” “Philanthropy and generosity are hallmarks of American society, and charities serve an important role in providing services and helping others,” said Michael Markarian, Chief Operating Officer of The Humane Society of the United States. “We urge Congress to support Representative Smith’s bill to help taxpayers and encourage charitable giving.” The New Jersey Catholic Conference stated its support for Smith’s bill: “The New Jersey Catholic Conference thanks Congressman Smith for introducing this important legislation. Every year, New Jersey Catholic Charities agencies assist hundreds of thousands of individuals and families meet their most basic needs. Their ability to provide quality services depend upon charitable donations. Unfortunately, The Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 makes charitable giving increasingly more difficult. The tax code should help not hurt nonprofit organizations tasked with serving the most vulnerable in our society. Congressman
ranging from $10,000 to $20,000, while some higher paid workers could receive retroactive payments approaching $40,000. “While he’s cutting rebates for our seniors by $250, Governor Murphy is shifting funds from property tax relief to pay his union supporters tens of thousands of dollars each,” Holzapfel added. “The Governor should do the right thing and fully fund the property tax rebates that Ocean County seniors deserve.”
Smith’s bill would protect those revenues sources that are vital to the assistance of so many in need.” “This is a critical piece of legislation that will allow all Americans, regardless of their income level, to receive a tax benefit for charitable giving. The bill therefore not only recognizes the great importance of philanthropy in this country, but it has the potential to unlock millions and millions of dollars in new charitable giving. We applaud Rep. Smith on his leadership on this issue,” Michael Kenyon, President and CEO of the National Association of Charitable Gift Planners, stated. “By ensuring that taxpayers at all income levels can deduct their charitable gifts, the Charitable Giving Tax Deduction Act [-or- “this bill” or “this legislation”] can strengthen America’s houses of worship and faith communities and increase fairness in the tax code. We want an America where all— not just the wealthy—are encouraged to contribute to their communities through faith-based and other charitable organizations,” Brian W. Walsh, Executive Director of the Faith & Giving Coalition stated. “Preserving the deductibility of charitable contributions is critically important to supporting conservation work,” Tim Dillingham, Executive Director of the American Littoral Society, stated.

–Photo courtesy Laura Stone By Kimberly Bosco MANCHESTER – A local Manchester Middle School student took home the first place prize in the 2017-2018 Lions International Peace Poster Contest. Following this achievement, 7th grader Hannah Pepuyan’s poster was forwarded to the Lions District Competition. The runners up winners were local 7th grade students Nicole Collinson, 13, and Gianna Pellegrino, 12. “Peace is a special element in this world that can change each and every one of our lives,” Collinson said. Local Lions Club members chose Pepuyan’s poster for its originality, artistic merit, and its portrayal of the contest’s theme of “The Future of Peace” during the judging back in November 2017. One grand prize winner and 23 merit award winners will be selected from posters that have progressed through the district, multiple district, State, national and international rounds of the to be declared international grand prize winner of the competition.

Tinnitus — that buzzing, ringing, whistling, or clicking in the ear that no one else seems to hear — might not yet be curable, but science isn’t taking that lying down! With some 50 million Americans alone and others worldwide experiencing this sometimes-debilitating condition, researchers are determined to uncover its secrets and create new ways of fighting back. Check out these three exciting developments: The Hearing Health Foundation, a U.S. nonprofit that aims in part “to prevent and cure hearing loss and tinnitus through groundbreaking research,” awarded a 2017 Emerging Research Grant to Timothy Balmer, Ph.D., for a closer look at potential causes and approaches to tinnitus. Balmer aims “to investigate whether chronic transmitter exposure in nerve cells of the cochlear nucleus may be a cause of tinnitus, which eventually may lead to clinical tinnitus treatments.” The American Tinnitus Foundation, supporting its “decades-long dedication to funding innovative research and initiatives toward finding cures for tinnitus,” approved more than $156,000 last fall for four research projects. One of the projects, led by Sarah Theodoroff, Ph.D., of the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research at the Portland VA Medical Center in Oregon, involves a new approach to diagnosing hyperacusis, or sound sensitivity, in tinnitus patients. Horizon 2020, a European Union program dedicated to funding research and innovations, has awarded $12 million to a trio of training networks whose collective projects — Tinnitus Assessment Causes and Treatments, the European School for Interdisciplinary Tinnitus
Research, and Liaison in Scientific Training for European Auditory Neuroscience — will engage tens of Ph.D. candidates from across Europe, expanding academic exposure to a public-health issue that demands attention. If you have tinnitus, don’t let it get in the way of your ability to work, sleep, lead an active life, or even think! There’s help and hope. Call our experienced team at 732-818-3610 to start enjoying relief from tinnitus today. P.S. DID YOU KNOW? Scientists may be working on a cure, but you can successfully manage your tinnitus now with solutions ranging from medical treatments to little changes at home. Possible causes of tinnitus can include hearing loss, ear blockage, sinus pressure, thyroid problems, medications, sinus pressure, or head and neck trauma — but the first step toward solving it is to come in for an evaluation.

Support Your Thyroid With Supplements
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Hopefully you realize that in order to look, feel, and function your best as you age, it’s imperative that you take good care of your thyroid gland because it plays a role in many plaguing symptoms from head to toe including hair loss, chronic fatigue, skin problems, insomnia and weight gain. The trouble is that lab tests lie, and don’t usually confirm what you’re feeling. I had to find that out myself the hard way, and that’s why I wrote, Thyroid Healthy. Ever since I dealt with a bout of hypothyroidism years ago, and healed myself completely, I’ve been a big advocate of supplements for thyroid support. One quick thing, your T4 has to lose one iodine atom to form T3, that’s what the numbers stand for. It’s the T3 that works, and helps energize you, burn off fat, grow pretty hair beautiful and improve memory. Converting that T4 to T3 is a big deal. All the T4 in the world won’t cure hypothyroidism if you don’t activate it to T3 and to do that, you need certain cofactors and nutrients like the following: Probiotics: You need probiotics to convert the T4 hormone you make (or take in the form of medication). As much as 20% of your inactive T4 is converted to T3 in your gut, if your digestion is working well. Unfortunately, many of us have woefully inadequate gut health because we are lacking friendly bacteria. Zinc: Zinc is critical for activating T4 to T3 in the liver and kidneys and it improves the function of specific enzymes
(deiodinase) which activate thyroid hormone. Remember, you want to activate it by converting the T4 your gland spits out, into T3. Selenium: Like zinc, this mineral is also needed for certain deiodinase enzymes which convert T4 to T3. Selenium is also needed to balance excess thyroid activity that may be caused by internal or external stressors. Catalase: Hydrogen peroxide is sometimes high in people with thyroid disorders, so neutralizing it is important, especially if you have Hashimoto’s. Catalase is as an antioxidant to reduce hydrogen peroxide that you make in your liver. It’s extremely beneficial to your blood stream, to your thyroid and to all your organs. By the way catalase helps break down alcohol, that’s why some people take it for hangovers, lol! Hydrogen peroxide is a free radical that can take your body over. Hydrogen peroxide has been studied and it’s implicated in oxidative stress disorders and many chronic illnesses. Ashwagandha: This incredible herb stimulates production of both T4 and T3 in your body. It also nourishes your adrenal glands, so if you feel like you can’t cope with stress, this is a wonderful botanical to consider. There’s a longer version of this article waiting for you, after you sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen. com You can heal yourself. Truth is, I used to be a human doing, and I had to train myself to become a human being.

Prosecutors Office Recognizes “Unsung Heroes”
OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato and President of the Ocean County School Administrators Loren B. Fuhring recently announced the recipients of the 2018 school year Ocean County Prosecutor/ Ocean County Association of School Administrators “Unsung Hero” Student Recognition Awards. The recognition awards program, in its’ fourth year, gives every Ocean County school the
opportunity to submit one student from the highest graduating class as the school’s “Unsung Hero”. This is not an academic award. The award criteria cite that the student has overcome some type of major adversity, challenge (physical or emotional) and/or has shown immense improvement. On May 2, in a ceremony held at the Frog Pond Elementary School in Little Egg Harbor, recipients from across Ocean County received
their award certificate in a “You Make A Difference” decorative folder frame pictured below. They will also receive a commemorative DVD. The video link to the DVD can be found at youtu.be/AxAJXmP3vfM. As in years past Prosecutor Coronato delivered a congratulatory address to those in attendance stating, “This is a good day – this is your day – a day you will always remember. An award represents recognition for something very
special that you and you alone were able to accomplish. We should never underestimate the importance of recognizing someone even for the smallest achievement or accomplishment. Always remember, life is what you make it – and as the recipients of these awards, you have already shown us that whatever you put your mind to you can accomplish. It is not always the monumental accomplishments that make people notice us, sometimes it is the tiny little things that make you shine and be recognized.” The 2018 award recipients include: • Alexis Mackiewicz, Tuckerton Elementary School • Seth Edwards, Toms River High School South • Leslie Yupa, Toms River High School North • Samantha Convery, Toms River High School East • Madelyn Beirne, Stafford Intermediate School • Danielle Shepherd, Point Pleasant Borough High School • Hunter Clark, Point Pleasant Beach High School • Jillian Williams, Pinelands Regional High School • Andres J.

• Excessive exposure to sun or tanning beds. • A weakened immune system including those with HIV infection, those taking drugs that suppress the immune response or those with chronic leukemia. • History of other skin cancers such as basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma. • Increasing age. This cancer is most common in people older than age 50, though it can occur at any age. • Light skin color. Merkel cell carcinoma usually arises in people who have light-colored skin.
COMPLICATIONS
Even with treatment, Merkel cell carcinoma commonly spreads (metastasizes) beyond the skin. Merkel cell carcinoma tends to travel first to nearby lymph nodes. Later it may spread to your brain, bones, liver or lungs, where it can interfere with the functioning of these organs. Cancer that has metastasized is more dicult to treat and can be fatal.

Attention All Active, Retired Military & Wounded Warriors NEW JERSEY – May is Military Appreciation month and Crossroads Realty is proud to announce that we participate in U.S. Military on the Move, a program offered exclusively by Leading Real Estate Companies of the World.

Inside The Law Time To Review Your Will
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates The middle of the year is a good time to review your estate planning documents. Let’s start with your Last Will and Testament. Have you reviewed it in the last year? If not, now is a good time. First, look at the persons who you have appointed as your executor, guardian and trustee. Are those persons still capable of acting in that capacity? Are they still willing to act? Is there any reason why you would not want them to act under your Will? Review the specific bequests and devises in your Will. This is the part of the Will where you leave specific items, real estate or money to specific persons. Are those persons still worthy of receiving those assets? Are there additional persons that you want add to your Will? Do you still own the items identified in your Will? Are there any other items that you want to leave to specific persons? Review the persons named in your Will who are receiving the remainder of your estate. Are those persons still deserving of your assets? If you are leaving your estate in different percentages to your beneficiaries, are those percentages still what you want? Are they any other persons who you want to add to your Will? Are any of the persons named in your Will incapacitated or receiving governmental benefits? Perhaps the assets left to those persons are best left in a trust.
Review your Power of Attorney. Are the persons you appointed in that document still Marc S. Galella Esq. capable of acting for you? Do they still want to act on your behalf? Are there other persons who you want to name to act for you? Is there any reason why a person that you named should no longer act for you? Do you have a Power of Attorney? Maybe you did not need one the last time you prepared a Will, but maybe you should consider preparing one now. Review your Living Will. Ask yourself the same questions as your Power of Attorney. Has there been any changes in your medical conditions that would change the medical directives in your current Living Will? If after reviewing your current estate planning documents you feel that they should be changed, now is the time to discuss your concerns with an estate planning attorney. The attorneys at R. C. Shea and Associates have over 100 combined years of preparing estate planning documents. Call us to schedule an appointment to review your documents with you.
Our clients’ success is our greatest reward. 732-505-1212 ● RCSHEA.COM

OCHD Recognizes Stroke And High Blood Pressure Awareness
OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department announces that May is Stroke and High Blood Pressure Awareness Month here in Ocean County and throughout the nation. High blood pressure is the most controllable risk factor for stroke, now affecting about half of all Americans (46 percent) and responsible for more deaths worldwide than any other condition, according to the American Heart Association. “It is important to note that high blood pressure is preventable, sometimes just with lifestyle changes if caught early, and detection can literally save lives,” according to Freeholder Director and Board of Health Liaison Gerry P. Little. “Residents of Ocean County are encouraged to monitor their blood pressure and see a doctor if results show consistently high blood
pressure readings and a high reading has been newly defined as any above 130/80,” said Ocean County’s Public Health Officer and Public Health Coordinator for the Ocean County Health Department Daniel E. Regenye. Freeholder Director Little explained that many local residents may have been shocked by the Revised American Heart Association guidelines issued in November of last year which resulted in many more people being defined as having hypertension. “However,” according to Freeholder Director Little, “the new guidelines may be a call to action for the many residents previously undiagnosed who now have the impetus to make healthy changes to their lives to prevent stroke and all other complications of high blood pressure.”
“High blood pressure is known as the “silent killer” because there may be no symptoms prior to a stroke or cardiovascular event and the cumulative effects of high blood pressure accounts for the 2nd highest number of preventable deaths from stroke and heart failure, second only to smoking in the United States,” said Regenye. “Public health education here in Ocean County is critical on this issue as more residents are diagnosed with hypertension.” “Whether one makes simple adjustments with food and exercise or follows a doctor’s recommendation for medications, lives will be saved through increased awareness of stroke and high blood pressure,” concluded Regenye. The Ocean County Health Department is committed to promote and support chronic
disease prevention for all residents of Ocean County. Live Healthy Ocean County! is an OCHD program that provides health education and no cost chronic disease screening services including blood pressure, stroke risk, glucose, cholesterol and other assessments at various locations throughout the community. In light of May being American Stroke Month and National High Blood Pressure Education Month, the OCHD strongly recommends frequent blood pressure screenings and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. You can contact the Clinic Services division at 732341-9700, ext. 7604 to arrange for screenings in your community. Available information on these crucial topics can be found at the Health Department’s website, ochd.org, according to Director of Administration and Program Development Brian E. Rumpf, Esq.
File The Trade Name With The Ocean County Clerk
OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County residents interested in starting a new business can file the Trade Name with the Ocean County Clerk’s office. “...We want to encourage Ocean County residents who are starting a business to visit either our Toms River or Stafford Township locations,” said Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella. “We see people daily filing for Trade Names. I applaud them for wanting to invest in their future here in Ocean County.”
Last year more than 500 individuals from Ocean County had their trade name certificate recorded at the County Clerk’s Office as they joined thousands of Americans across the nation in starting a new business. Individuals conducting or transacting business under any assumed name or designation are required to file a business trade name certificate with the County Clerk’s Office. Applicants simply complete a registration form, which states the name, nature, address
of the business and the names/residence addresses of the business owners. The registration form must be notarized and the fee is $50. Banks or financial institutions require a Trade Name Certificate when opening business accounts. “The staff at the County Clerk’s Office can help you with this process,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Clerk. If you are thinking about starting a new
business, go to the County Clerk website at clerk.co.ocean.nj.us/tradenames.htm or visit the Clerk’s Toms River Office at 118 Washington St., or the Manahawkin office at 179 South Main St. You can also call the offices at 732-506-5198 or 609-597-1500 for further information. “So much goes into starting a new business,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little. “The Ocean County Clerk and his staff are there to help with this important step.”

–Photo by Donna Flynn By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – If you’re seeing a lot of police officers on bicycles, it’s because they are all heading down to Washington, D.C. as part of the annual Police Unity Tour. The tour is made to raise money for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, and to bring support and recognition to the families of officers who lost their lives. The motto is “We ride for those who died.” The tour started at different times, depending on the location of the department. (Several states take part in the event.) It
will conclude on May 12 at a ceremony at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C. There will also be a candlelit vigil on May 13 at dusk. The tour started in 1997, when 18 members raised $18,000. According to the tour’s website, the tour was able to generate $2.6 million from 2,500 members last year. This brings together a total of almost 23 million dollars over two decades. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial site, there have been 51 officers who lost their lives on duty this year. Of these deaths, 28 were fi rearms-related, and 16 were traffic-related.

nounced the association’s poster contest winners at the freeholder’s recent meeting. The state association sponsors a contest every year. Municipalities hold the first round of contests, and winners advance to the county, and then state, contests. “To get to this point, just to give some statistics, is that our guys judge probably 1,000 posters from the schools,” OCFPPA president Bill Gee said. “So you’re the winners out that many kids.” The winners received $50 gift cards and a certificate from the county. “The message is very important this year: ‘Every Second Counts. Plan Two Ways Out.’ We would be remiss if we didn’t mention a little fire prevention while we’re here today,” Richard Orlando, vice president of OCFPPA and Brick assistant fire marshal, said. “Please, wherever you go, wherever your travels may take you, always know a second way out, not necessarily the way you went in, no matter where you go.” The county meeting room was packed with the winners and their families, in addition to the usual crew that attends freeholder meetings. “Everybody in here and everybody that took part in this year’s contest is already a winner, because you have learned something by teaching something,” Kelly said. “And really, this year’s theme is fantastic. Hopefully, none of us will ever have home or our school on fire, but, we have to be prepared in the event that it is. And that’s what this contest is about.” Little thanked the families for coming out to support the winners. “These kids are the future, not only of Ocean County and your local towns, but of our nation, and they have a good head start. They’re obviously good students and a lot of that is attributable to the parents and the family that’s there to support them,” Little said. The county had winners in six categories. The winners included: Division 1, Kindergarten to second grade, Mackenzie Asfalg from Osbornville School in Brick Division 2, third to fifth grade, Adriana Manochio, H&M Potter School in Berkeley Division 3, sixth to eighth grade, Abigail Fuchs, Veterans Memorial Middle School in Brick Division 4, ninth to 12th grade, Madison Salanitro, Central Regional High School in Bayville Division 6, kindergarten to eighth grade, Eva Rios, Lake Riviera Middle School in Brick Division 7, ninth to 12th grade, Ashley Soltis, Central Regional High School in Bayville Berkeley Township fire official Fred Mitchell was also in attendance.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of May 19 - May 25
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): The first half of the week is a poor time to launch crucial projects as there could be unexpected changes to your plans. It might be best to consider your future financial needs and lay the groundwork for stability. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Develop an archive of accurate assumptions. You and a special someone share the same tastes and passions. You can take this to a logical conclusion in the week ahead when there is time for private, intimate moments. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You deserve to only have the best and highest. Maybe you will need to be patient or to economize to gratify your desires as the week unfolds, but you will find it worth every penny and the wait in the long run. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be in a negative frame of mind about job or career prospects. Rather than making impulsive changes in the week ahead, in the hopes that they will change your luck, focus on being reliable and steady. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It is wise to be discreet about a financial matter or career objective. Office politics can be tricky to handle as this week unfolds, so remain inconspicuous. Use good business sense to handle unexpected changes in plan. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Remember that good fences make good neighbors. In the week to come you may be challenged to defend your territory so it is wise to offer well-defined limits. Being too inquisitive or intrusive could stir up animosity.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the week to come you may find it difficult to predict how others may react to your ideas. Wait a few days before you exert persuasive tactics. Your energies could easily get scattered if you are subjected to repeated interruptions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The week ahead can offer you opportunities to explore your creative side. Use your vision and foresight to plan a better financial future. You might even recognize money making potential in a hobby or sideline. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Temper friendliness with common sense. Not everyone who gives you advice will be reliable in the week ahead. You must remain respectful of the rights of others especially if personal possessions are involved. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Push and shove” tactics can cause you to lose traction in the week ahead. Be considerate and gentle with people who are unpredictable. You may be too greedy for your own good or succumb to wishful thinking. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can’t ignore any doubts and concerns that haunt you. Although you might not have the funds to buy your heart’s desire, or may find there are strings attached, you could receive a boost in pay later in the week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You could be torn two ways. As this week begins you may be suspicion and distrustful about a financial matter on one hand. On the other hand, your generous nature is willing to give others the benefit of the doubt.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Take Mom On A Healthy Trip To Italy Without Leaving The House By Wolfgang Puck
Every mom wants to be indulged in some way on Mother’s Day. For many of us, that means treating her to a special brunch. And it can be especially nice if you cook the meal for her. (If you’re a mother reading this article right now, I suggest you find a way to slip it in front of your husband or your kids who old enough to cook. Or save it for a brunch you plan to cook for your own mom.) But there’s one big challenge when it comes to indulging that very special person: Many moms, including the fittest among them, don’t want to overindulge. Especially with summer around the corner, they’ll appreciate a Mother’s Day meal that feels lavishly delicious while also being wonderfully healthy. How do you walk such a fine line? Consider the lessons you can learn from the following recipe for my light version of strata, a traditional Italian savory bread pudding, that’s very easy to prepare. (In fact, you can even assemble it the night before, covering and refrigerating the dish, and then baking it on Mother’s Day morning.) At the very mention of the words “bread pudding,” though, you may wonder how such a dish could possibly qualify as light. But, in every stage of this recipe’s preparation, I take simple, health-conscious steps anyone can follow to lighten up their daily cooking. In place of the usual white Italian loaf found in most stratas, I use a good, crusty whole-wheat or multigrain loaf, which delivers more fiber, nutrients and flavor - all qualities that make every bite more satisfying. For the cheese, I use a low-fat Swiss, which you can find in most supermarkets; or you can substitute any other reduced fat cheese that melts well, like mozzarella or cheddar. I lighten up the eggs by including three egg whites along with three whole eggs, reducing the amount of fat in the dish even further; and I combine them with tangy, creamy-tasting buttermilk, a lower-fat alternative to cream. Add lively seasonings like garlic, red pepper flakes and oregano, and you have a dish that cuts the calories and fat but leaves nobody at the table feeling deprived of pleasure. Mom will feel especially indulged when you serve this recipe to her on her special day. She may even remark that it tastes just like having pizza for breakfast and wonder humorously what you’re doing to her diet with such a lavish treat. That’s when you
can share another surprise gift with her: the news that her Mother’s Day breakfast is actually healthy! I TA LI A N ST R ATA W I T H TOMATOES, BELL PEPPER, AND SWISS CHEESE Serves 8 1/2 pound (250 g) stale country-style whole wheat or multigrain bread 1 garlic clove, halved Olive oil-flavored nonstick cooking spray 1 cup (250 m L) f i nely sh redded reduced-fat Swiss cheese 1 large red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, seeded and torn into thin strips (or the equivalent water-packed bottled roasted red bell pepper) 2 large ripe tomatoes, cored and thinly sliced 3 large eggs 3 large egg whites 2 cups (500 mL) buttermilk 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Fresh basil leaves, cut into thin julienne strips, for garnish Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). With a sharp bread knife, cut the bread into slices 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick. Rub one or both sides of each bread slice with the cut sides of the garlic clove halves, using more or less depending on how garlicky you want the strata to be. Then, cut the bread into 3/4-inch (2-cm) cubes. Lightly coat the inside of a 12-by-10-inch (30-by-25-cm) baking dish, gratin dish, or a heavy nonstick 10-inch (25-cm) skillet with the nonstick cooking spray. Spread the bread cubes in the dish in a single, even layer. Evenly sprinkle half of the cheese over the bread. Evenly layer the bell pepper strips and tomato slices on top, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the peppers and tomatoes. Put the eggs and egg whites in a mixing bowl, and beat them lightly with a fork. Add the buttermilk, red pepper flakes, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste, and beat until thoroughly combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ingredients in the baking dish. Bake the strata until it looks slightly puffed up and the top is golden brown, 45 minutes to an hour. Remove the dish from the oven, and let it set at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before using a large serving spoon to scoop it onto individual serving plates. Garnish with fresh basil, if you like.
