Central’s Hughes Awarded For Being A Role Model
Beachwood To Share Berkeley’s Construction Office
Community News! Don’t miss what’s happening in your town.
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A shared service agreement between the two towns would let Beachwood make use of Berkeley’s construction code enforcement and housing inspections. Many towns have shared service agreements with each other. They are designed to cut down on the costs of running a town. Sometimes, a smaller town does not have the need for a full department, so they opt to pay a larger town to have the larger town do work for them. Beachwood has a construction code official, Mayor Ron Roma said. Through shared services agreements, he was also handling work in South Toms River and Island Heights for two days a week.

Alternate Sites Searched For Brick’s VA Clinic
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The James J. Howard Outpatient Clinic is the closest point of service for area veterans. But, with Ocean County being host to an extremely large population of veterans, the demand for care greatly outweighs what the build-
ing can handle. Traffic and parking problems also make the site inconvenient for people who are looking for care. Therefore, alternate site locations are being scouted. Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd) told a meeting of the Ocean (VA - See Page 5)

Hughes:
Continued From Page 1 He scored a team-high 13 goals and handed out 13 assists for 26 points at forward for the Golden Eagles. He was second on the club in points. There’s more to Hughes than statistics, however, as he is also a solid citizen. Solid enough to win the Hobey Baker High School Character Award. Established in 1981 by the Hobey Baker Award Committee, the award honors high school hockey players who exemplify the Hobey Baker ideal that character builds excellence. “We believe that character makes the game better and it makes our players better,” the committee said in a press release. “Candidates for the award are selected by their coaches based on the following criteria: Coachability, strength of character, integrity, commitment, teamwork, community leadership and outstanding sportsmanship.” Each year, a single player from each participating school is selected by either his or her coach to be honored by teammates and celebrated by the school and the community for outstanding individual performance on an off the ice. “Because their presence makes the game better, we want them to be a part of Hobey Baker’s legend,” the committee said in the release. “Success in life, much like success in hockey, demands more than skill alone. It demands a positive attitude, an excellent work ethic and a will to succeed no matter the circumstances.”
Hughes received a personalized plaque at the most recent Central Regional Board of Education meeting Thursday. “It is a great honor to win this award,” he said. “I would like to thank my parents (Ken and Ellen) for teaching me and raising me right. I would like to dedicate this award to my team as it was such a good team. My coaches (head coach Joe Pelliccio, assistants Jeff Mangold and Mark Pica and goalie coach Jay Jakubczak) had my back for the whole way and always pointed me in the right direction.” Hughes deserved the award for “exemplary character and sportsmanship,” Pelliccio said at the meeting. “I knew from the time he was a freshman that he’d be the head captain when he was a senior.” Pelliccio praised the rest of the Golden Eagles’ sportsmanship as well and how they conduct themselves at games here and away. “There’s a long list right behind him,” Pelliccio said. “Sean won’t be the last kid from Central to win this.” Baker was considered the first American ice hockey star by the Hockey Hall of Fame. He played ice hockey and football for Princeton University. He also competed for the St. Nicholas Hockey Club in New York City. Baker was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 1973. He was enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame in 1975. A member of the United States Army Air Service, he lost his life at the age of 26 in 1918 while test piloting a service plane. “It is an amazing honor to be awarded this award,” Hughes said. “This honor means so
much to people and it shows what type of person you are.” Hughes was named the Golden Eagles’ head captain by the team’s coaching staff soon after his junior season. “Sean is a creation of his parents,” Pelliccio said. “The apple did not fall far from the tree. He thinks about how what he touches reflects on himself and his family. He has always done the right thing. He is a very caring kid. There is not a mean bone in his body. “You could just see the person he was in the way he handled himself. He had all of the characteristics you need as a captain. He led all of the sophomores and the freshmen. All of the coaches saw it in him.” Hughes enjoyed his leadership role. “I loved every second of it,” he said. “The guys had my back when I was down. I had their backs no matter what.” Pelliccio said Hughes often imparted his expertise to the team’s youngest players. “He helped our young guys from Day One,” Pelliccio said. “He talked to all of our guys down to the weakest player. He made the weakest player feel he was no different than the best player on our team. There were players who came out for the team for the first time during the winter and he made them feel comfortable. He made them feel they were a part of our family. Central hockey is a family and Sean was an extension of our family.” Hughes as a junior scored 31 points, putting home eight goals and handing out 23 assists. He finished his sophomore season with five goals and 17 assists for 22 points.
He netted one goal and added one assist for two points as a freshman on the varsity. “If you are a coach, you want a team of Seans,” Pelliccio said. “You want a kid like this to set the example for others. All of our guys followed suit in the way he carried himself. We had a team of Seans. He made it very easy for me to coach. He did what I told him to do. If there was something he wanted to suggest, he did it the right way. He requested different things and conducted himself like a man and a gentleman. “He was all in with everything we did in Central Regional High School ice hockey.” Hughes was one of the skinnier players at 6-foot-1 and 155 pounds. “There is not a lot of weight to me,” he said. “I used my build to get in front of people and get them off the puck. I used it to my advantage for skating into the zone and I used my body to not let people push me off the puck. My arms are pretty long. They can block the sticks of the other players who try to take the puck from me.” Pelliccio said Hughes brings impressive athletic ability to the ice. “Sean is very fluid,” Pelliccio said. “He can pass. He can shoot. He can skate. He was widely respected throughout the Shore Conference. There is not a player on any other team who does not admire Sean. Some kids are a little more choppy in their skating than Sean. His shot is real quick and comes off his stick at times before you know it. “He can take his shot while he is in full stride. That surprises goalies and that is how he scored most of his goals.” (Hughes - See Page 14)

Land:
A cent-and-a-half is taken from every $100 property valuation and put into the trust fund. The county hires out two independent appraisals when making larger land purchases, and never pays more than the top appraisal amount, Bartlett said. The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee also recommended the acquisition of two other properties: 3.62 acres, located on Harvey Avenue in Berkeley, and 20.08 acres, located on North Bay Avenue in Toms River. The county will pay $25,000, and up to $38 for a property tax adjustment, on the Berkeley property. The 3.62 acres is on Cedar Creek, much of it wetlands, Bartlett said. That land will join property the county already owns around Berkeley Island County Park. The 20.08 acres in Toms River will be purchased for $850,000 plus up to $40 for property tax adjustments. The land is developable. The land is contiguous to county-owned land near Ocean County College. “The board has been very diligent over the last number of years in buying all of the land that abuts Ocean County College so that it can never be encroached upon,” Bartlett said. The advisory committee accepts nominations for open space acquisitions and makes recommendations to the freeholders on an ongoing basis.
VA:
Ocean Medical Center. The land is currently zoned as a hospital support zone, he said. Toms River Councilman Maurice Hill said that his town put in a letter of intent to have the clinic in the area of Hooper Avenue and Caudina Avenue. This is the intersection near a few banks and the Presbyterian Church of Toms River where drivers can fi nd the back entrance to the Seacourt Mall. This spot would be the best case scenario for a VA clinic, said Hill, a Navy veteran. It is more centrally located in the county, and Hooper has less traffic than those areas in Brick. Some of the land is owned by the town, and some is privately owned. It would also be within walking distance to the Veterans Service Bureau, so there could be “one-stop shopping” for veterans who need to get a lot done in one day. Previously, the township was considering a spot on Route 9 south of the Joseph A. Citta Elementary School, but decided to go with this site instead. County administrator Carl Block reiterated that there are a high percentage of veterans in Ocean County, and with the county’s large senior population, it means that there are a great deal of older veterans who have more involved needs. “We absolutely support it staying in Ocean County,” he said.
Continued From Page 1 Ocean Township, and two purchases in Berkeley and Toms River - at their May 16 meeting. The county accepted the donation of .73 acres of land on Pancoast Road in Ocean Township. “This is the kind of acquisition we like, because it’s a donation,” Freeholder John Bartlett quipped. The county owns lands around the Garden State Parkway and Wells Mills County Park, about 4,000 acres preserved. The county had purchased a piece of land on the Barnegat side of the line, and that owner decided to donate the .73 acres on the Waretown side. Freeholder Director Gerry Little said that in a county that’s 408,000 acres, about 60 percent of it is permanently protected against development through Pinelands Commission, state parks and 21,000 acres preserved through the natural lands and farmlands programs. “Approximately 60 percent of the county is permanently preserved, which is protecting our watershed, which is protecting our quality of life,” Little said. “We will never become an urban area. That’s our goal, to preserve our quality of life for all of us here today, and for our children and generations to come.” All 33 county municipalities approved the creation of the Natural Lands Trust Fund.
Continued From Page 1 County Mayors’ Association at their May meeting that the location scouting is going beyond Brick. While Brick is not off the table at this point, most of Toms River is being looked at as well. A small part of Berkeley is also a possibility. A small area of Lakewood is also in the search area, but MacArthur said that putting it in a busy town like Lakewood would not solve the problem. A building of the magnitude needed to handle the veterans in the area is extremely costly, he said. If a town is able to give land, it would help reduce the cost. Local officials, interviewed in the days following the meeting, had their own ideas of where to put the new VA. Brick Mayor John Ducey has proposed a plot of land in the triangle between Route 88, Jack Martin Boulevard, and Burrsville Avenue. “We have the perfect choice,” he said. There’s enough land for a sizeable building, with the parking that would be needed. It’s on a state highway, which is one of the things the federal government will be looking at. “It’s across the street from the hospital in case a veteran has more serious needs that need to be met,” he said, referring to

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
E DITORIAL Politicians Won’t Bite The Hand That Feeds I’ve noticed an interesting thing while reading press releases from our elected officials: If someone of their own party is in the wrong, they are very vague in talking about it. If someone from the other party is in the wrong, they blame by name. If a Democrat doesn’t like what a Republican does, it is easy for them to call them out. Likewise, a Republican has no problem shaming a Democrat by name. However, their courage falters when it’s inhouse. When Democrats hate what their Democrat leaders do, they blame “Trenton” or “the state.”
They won’t name Gov. Phil Murphy or Senate President Stephen Sweeney. When Republicans don’t like what Trump or the leadership in Congress is doing, they blame “Washington” or “the administration.” These are all very vague terms that don’t really get to the heart of the problem. A politician will take an awful lot from their own party before they feel the need to finally speak up. And then when they do, they take the coward’s way out and won’t call someone out by name. Chris Lundy News Editor

Power And Money In Politics What is it that changes people? Case in point: The Senate and House of Representatives. Ninety-nine percent of those who enter politics start out with a clear objective – that is, to make our country better. We are still a young country with growing pains. The one thing we all know for sure is that our form of government is the best in the world. Most of us know how lucky we are to be citizens of the USA. Somehow, once these people get to Washington, a spell comes over them and they forget why they went to Washington. When they started out, it was the country fi rst, then politics. In a very short time, they put the party fi rst, then the government. For some unknown reason, they put petty politics ahead of it all. Then comes the power game. Some even sell their souls for the power. Then it becomes power first, then the party, and last the country and the people. They forget why we the people sent them to Washington and what their job is. How is it that so many of them go to Washington and become rich overnight? We voted these people into office and gave them our trust. Why is it so many of them forget we sent them there to do the best for the country and the people, and they end up doing what is best for themselves and their party? My answer is simple: We voted them in, and we can vote them out. I put a high price on my trust and I will not let these people
Letters To The Editor waste it. We the people finally allow the spent recovery need healthcare can always stand up to Washington and let them know when we feel they are not doing their jobs right, and let them know that the promises they made us are not being kept. I realize they may not be able to keep all their promises, but they can try. They must never forget: It’s country first, then politics. This is just one man’s opinion. Herb Greenberg, Jr. Brick
MacArthur Eyes Oyster Creek Impact There are many issues that affect the 3rd Congressional District, but one that sometimes gets overlooked by t hose who do not live in Lacey Township is the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant closure. Thankfully, Congressman Tom MacA r thu r has been aware and active in addressing the potential effects of the closure on Lacey Township and the surrounding areas. Our Township Committee and administration has met with Congressman MacArthur on multiple occasions to express our concerns as to how the closure of the plant will affect our economy, residents, and quality of life. We have also shared ideas as to how to address the nuclear rods that currently sit in temporary storage. Congressman MacArthur stood up for Lacey Township and all of South Jersey when he voted yes on the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act. The recent passage of this bill in the House will
nuclear rods idly sitting at Oyster Creek, the oldest nuclear plant in the country, to be shipped to a permanent location as originally intended. This will provide relief to our taxpayers and peace of mind for residents. I am grateful to have a representative like Tom MacArthur who listens and follows up with direct action. As we continue to work as a committee, in collaboration with Congressman MacArthur, to determine the next steps for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant and the over 800 acres of land it occupies, I feel hopeful for a brighter future for Lacey Township. While some have been handing out megaphones and rabble-rousing in our communities, Tom MacArthur has been spending his Saturday mornings meeting with elected officials, like us, and concerned constituents alike, and standing up for what’s really impacting his district. Gary Quinn Committeeman, Lacey Township
ACA, Medicaid Needed I’ve been in recovery for three years. If you’re a single mother like I am, Medicaid is very helpful. I don’t have to stress about what’s going to happen if my child gets sick, or if I get sick. But I’m still worried. A year ago the House passed ACA repeal and they want more. If they cut Medicaid for the people that need it - working mothers like myself and people I know - it’s going to cause more problems. People in
so they can stay clean and sober. Knowing you can get mental health treatment is part of that. Everybody is different in recovery. Some use mental health treatment with a therapist or NA. Others need cognitive behavioral health. Some need medication. I commend anyone who is trying to stay sober in any way that is working for them. I wouldn’t be able to do stay clean and sober without the Affordable Care Act. I wouldn’t be able to see a therapist and my son wouldn’t be able to see a pediatrician for check-ups. If they cut Medicaid I’ll have to go to the emergency room for care. Congressman MacArthur led the charge and helped to pass the repeal of the Affordable Care which would have taken away my health care. It seems like he has no empathy or concern for the people of New Jersey that are in need. It would be wonderful if all of us could get healthcare, that’s what I’m fighting for.

Honoring Our Deceased Veterans This Memorial Day From The Desk Of
The Mayor - By Berkeley Mayor
Carmen F. Amato, Jr. Memorial Day, which falls on the last Monday of May, honors the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the American military. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day because it was a
time set aside to honor the nation’s Civil War dead by ‘decorating their graves.’ In Berkeley there are four such events to honor those this weekend. On Sunday, May 27, the Berkeley Shores Homeowners’ and Civic Association will be having their annual Memorial Day Commemoration and Blessing of the Fleet. After the Blessing of the fleet, a Memorial Day
Service will be conducted at noon in the Barnegat Bay. In honor of our service men and women, a wreath is laid upon the waters while the Color Guard presents the colors and dueling “Taps” are played. You can monitor VHF Channel 69 to listen to the ceremony. Also on Sunday, May 27, the Silver/Holiday VFW Post 10185 will hold their Memorial Day Ceremony at the Silver Ridge Park West Clubhouse at 1 p.m. And lastly, on Monday, May 28, the Bayville VFW Post 9503 will be conducting their annual Memorial Day Ceremony at 11 a.m. in the grove behind the VFW Post on Veterans Blvd in
Bayville. As Mayor, I have participated in all of these memorial services. They are well organized and provide a very moving tribute to our fallen service men and women. All of these events are open to the public, and I encourage you to attend. We MUST NEVER forget them or their families for the sacrifice they have made to make our country the greatest democracy in the world. So, as we gather with friends and family to celebrate the unofficial start of summer at BBQ’s and picnics, or run to the nearest department store to take advantage of those sales,
please take a moment this weekend to honor our fallen men and women of the armed forces. May God bless them and their families. Please have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day.
Berkeley Farmers Market Opening Thanks to the hard work of Councilman Angelo Guadagno, our Berkeley Farmers Market will be back again in 2018. The first day will be Tuesday, May 29. The market will be held every Tuesday from May 29 through October. This year, we have also extended the market one hour. The market will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
at our Recreation Center, located on Route 9 in Bayville. Local vendors from around the area, including our own Moore’s Farm Market, will be on hand selling Jersey Fresh produce and other items of interest. Your support is critical in making this a success. Please come on out and support your local vendors. Again this year, the Berkeley Township Historical Society museum will also be open during market hours. Interested in finding out the history of our town? Stop by and check it out - you won’t be disappointed. Save the Bayville Dinosaur shirts will also be on sale at the museum.
9th District Legislators Against Driver’s Licenses For “Illegal Aliens” CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
TR ENTON – Having voted against illegal aliens receiving in-state tuition a nd t uit ion assist a nce, the 9th District Delegation will be voting against providing driver’s licenses to persons in our country illegally if and when the bill is voted on by the State
Legislature. Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove (all R-9th) have been sharply critical of the introduction of companion legislation A-1738 and S-1340 entitled the “New Jersey Safe and
Responsible Driver Act,” which would establish driver’s licenses for New Jersey residents who “cannot prove lawful presence in the United States.” Con nors, Ru mpf and Gove issued the following statement upon receiving complaints from outraged constituents regarding the state’s increasing efforts to expand services for illegal aliens: “Essential programs and services for legal residents are on the chopping block all while the needs of illegal aliens continue to be

prioritized. “First it was in-state tuition, then tuition assistance and now there’s an effort to give illegal aliens driver’s licenses. The price tag of these policies keeps rising for taxpayers but not for the persons who are mostly benefitting. “If things weren’t hard enough, parents now see their children having to compete with persons in our state illegally for seats at state colleges as well as for tuition assistance. Now residents face the prospect of waiting longer
in the M VC line while illegal aliens are applying for a driver’s license with limited identification documents, such as the ones legal residents are required to produce. “Notwithstanding that this is an inappropriate use of limited public resources, there are the serious homeland security issues at stake which simply cannot be disregarded for the sake of political expediency. No, not every person in the country illegally is a security threat. Regardless, it would be completely irre-
sponsible and negligent for New Jersey to circumvent proven, effective policies instituted to protect public safety. “Since this issue was first raised during the Corzine Administration, our Delegation has maintained its vehement opposition to giving driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. Now that establishing New Jersey as a sanctuary state is all but Trenton’s endorsed policy, it is important residents prepare for this policy debate so that the rights of legal residents are respected.”

Beachwood will follow civil service rules for what happens to an employee when their position is no longer needed, Roma said. Ideally, it would be nice to have all services inhouse, he said. However, you have to make financial decisions. Residents will still be filing all paperwork in Beachwood; they won’t have to go to Berkeley. At the most recent Berkeley Township Council meeting, Berkeley authorized their side of the agreement. Beachwood would reimburse Berkeley for any manpower and materials used in code enforcement and housing inspections, Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato said. The agreement was made for one year, and if the agreement continues to be in everyone’s best interest, the deal can be renewed, Amato said.
Hughes:
spring league as an incoming freshman. “We knew about him and we could see right away that he was a hockey player,” Pelliccio said. “It was refreshing to see how good he was in the eighth grade where some boys are just learning the game. We knew we had a hockey player.” Hughes, who plans to compete at Stockton University, derives a large amount of pleasure playing ice hockey. “I love it because of how much fun it is to go out there and skate with the puck,” he said. “Scoring a goal is like no other feeling I have ever had. Ice hockey is a hard challenge, a good environment to be in.”
Continued From Page 1 The problem was, there wasn’t enough building going on to fully make use of the employee, he said. “Beachwood is almost completely built out. It isn’t fi nancially feasible for us to have a full time inspector,” he said. The borough was partially subsidizing his pay with work from the other two towns. “It was always a losing proposition for us.” Prior to this, South Toms River announced that they will be pulling out of the agreement, which would mean less income for Beachwood, he said. This caused Beachwood officials to look harder at whether they need a full time employee or if they could have the work done elsewhere for less money.
Continued From Page 4 Hughes also played center on defense. “He did everything,” Pelliccio said. “You just can’t play on one side of the puck. He had to be in the slot and in the corner. At times, he was the leader of the breakout. There were countless things he had to do on defense.” Pelliccio met Hughes for the first time when he was an eighth grader at the Central Regional Middle School. They met at the Winding River Skating Center in Toms River. Hughes competed in a high school

Families Drive Out For ‘Touch A Truck’
By William Clanton STAFFORD - Trucks of all different types where gladly displayed at the Manahawkin Lake Park for the Stafford Chamber of Commerce’s 4th Annual Touch A Truck event. Car after car filled the parking lots and lined neighboring streets, and well over a hundred residents f looded into the park. The distant sounds of truck horns and sirens could be heard all throughout Manahawkin Lake, as children of all ages got a chance to “touch-a-truck,” sitting inside, playing with buttons and getting every possible chance to honk their horns. Lining the grass and sidewalks of Man-
ahawkin Lake were many of the vehicles owned and used by local municipal departments and businesses. From dump trunks to police cars, young children got a chance to sit in and learn more about some of the amazing vehicles that keep our towns in check. Of the many vehicles displayed there were ambulances, dump trucks, a leaf collection truck, garbage trucks, newer township municipal trucks, a local Coast Guard boat and even a full replica of the time traveling DeLorean from “Back To The Future” with the iconic flux capacitor, OUTATIME plates and a pair of the air-up Nike high-tops. At the event there was live music
thanks to Brandon Hanns with Dreamscapes Music Production and his many students all playing their own par ts along with local singer David Mulvihill. Food vendors, bounce houses, a gaming trailer and other activities were spread all throughout the park. Being now in its fourth year, the event was a smash hit, bringing together local businesses, employees and residents. It was Rocco Manochio and his team of volunteers and board members that made
this event possible. “We didn’t have anything like this in our town,” said Manochio. “I have 3 young kids. We went to an event similar to this in a neighboring town and thought, ‘We should have something like this in our town.’” Four years ago, he reached out to the township and pitched the idea. The township gladly supported his idea and helped make it possible. The funds from the sponsors and local businesses help to pay for the event and make it happen.

Summer Sounds Abound – Keep Your Hearing Safe
From music festivals to fireworks, summer packs a lot of punch — and a lot of noise. To keep all that fun from damaging your hearing, we’ve gathered some tips to help protect your ears from the sounds of summer. When you’re exposed to sounds louder than 85 decibels (dB), you run the risk of hearing loss. But just how prevalent are sounds that loud, really? You might be surprised. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 31 million U.S. adults and children have noise-induced hearing loss. Keep your hearing protected this summer with our helpful tips. Carry Earplugs: Whether in your car, your purse, or your pocket, the must-have accessory of the summer is . . . earplugs! Whether at a concert, mowing the lawn, or on a blanket watching fireworks, you can rest assured fitting those little plugs into your ears will go a long way toward protecting your hearing. They’re inexpensive and available at almost any pharmacy. Keep Your Distance: Stand far away from the speakers at concerts — they put out a whopping 110 dB or more, so even with hearing protection, you’ll want to stay well back. And even at 20 yards away, small fi reworks can still impact your hearing, so put some distance be-
tween your family and the main event. Limit Your Exposure: Give your ears a break by stepping away from noise at regular intervals. Mowing the lawn? Take an extra rest if you mow for extended periods. Not crazy about the song? Move farther away from the stage or even outside, if that’s an option. One variable leading to hearing damage is length of exposure to noise, so proactively limit the duration. Less Listening: It’s easy and common to grab the headphones and crank some tunes when jogging, biking, or waiting for the event to start, but don’t overdo it. Keep the volume down, and take regular breaks — duration of sound exposure applies to headphones as well. Listening to audiobooks? Sorry, the same applies to you, too. Plug ’n’ Go: Loud noise caught you by surprise? For a short-term quick fix, plug your ears (gently) with your fingers and quickly move away from the sound source. Putting distance between you and the sound lessens its intensity and, thus, any potential hearing damage. If you know you have an event-filled season, contact us today for a complimentary consultation about custom-fit hearing protection! We can be reached at 732-818-3610 or visit us at www. Gardenstatehearing.com
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!

Painkillers Can Raise Homocysteine By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
It’s a catch 22 if you are in pain and worried about opiates because then you will be switched to an NSAID drug like ibuprofen, naproxen, indomethacin, celecoxib or others. These medications are phenomenal for reducing inflammation and relieving swelling and pain. The trouble is that they are strong drug muggers of folate, your natural vitamin B9 nutrient. That in and of itself, is enough for you to consider supplementing with natural folate. A folate deficiency compromises your ability to repair DNA, which can raise your risk for cancer. This can increase neuropathic nerve pain making you super uncomfortable in your own skin. Tingling, pins and needles, ant-bite sensation, hot water sensations and more can cause you mental and physical pain that is sometimes unimaginable. Painkillers in the NSAID category are known to negatively impact cardiovascular function, especially in middle-aged to older folks. This is in part due to the increase in homocysteine, which is due to the folate deficiency. You need adequate amounts of folate to break down homocysteine, and the drug mugging (nutrient depletion) of folate causes a buildup in homocysteine which should be perceived as “acid” on your heart, blood vessels and brain. A buildup of homocysteine, will create more sulfur in your gut that leads to a “sulfur burp” which means you have a lot of belching and yet your digestive function tests are fine. Homocysteine is toxic to your brain, it’s
not just about heart disease. It’s a dangerous poison to your brain and no amount of folic acid fixes it. In fact, folic acid, the synthetic form of folate can occupy the receptors on your cells, and cause less of the real deal (folate) to get on the cell receptor, and then into the cell. Homocysteine is a stunt-double for glutamate, which is an excitotoxin. You might think of MSG in the same way as you do glutamate. Symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, mood instability, dark depression, brain fog, brain zaps, migraines, ADHD, hypnic jerks and bone pain are all tell-tale signs of hyperhomocysteinemia. This means that your homocysteine is higher than 15 µmol/L. It can be problematic for people in opiate and benzodiazepine withdrawal because the high homocysteine acts like an excitotoxin in the brain. You need to reduce homocysteine. I’ve written a longer version of this article, and I’ll email it to you if you’d like it. Just sign up for my free newsletter, so I have you in my email database, and I’ll send out to you on Tuesday. In the meantime, the following nutrients are critical to reducing homocysteine: Vitamin B2, B9, B12 and B6 as well as zinc, magnesium, choline and betaine. You’ll want to eat less meat and more salads and green veggies. Greens are very high in natural folate (vitamin B9) which drives the methylation pathway, which breaks down homocysteine. The problem with meat is that it’s very high in methionine, an amino acid that results in more homocysteine. So let the side dish be meat, and the main dish be greens.

Quality Time
Dear Joel, People seem so disconnected these days. Everyone is on their ‘device’ everywhere you look. I see people at the beach or the garden, not enjoying nature, but texting. I see it in my own family. Is the art of conversation a thing of the past? What can you suggest I do to get my family re-connected? Answer It is sad to think about how much time people spend staring at a device instead of wonderful people and beautiful things in plain sight. There is some good news though; it seems there is a trend among teens to ‘go quiet’ at least for a few hours. A friend of mine placed a basket at the front door and everyone has to drop their phone in the basket
before v isiting. A nother person told me the house rule is no phones at meal time. Here’s something else to try, for two weeks have everyone keep a journal of what they accomplished in a daily two-hour no device block. They will all be amazed at the results. Staying connected is important just remember that also means staying connected to the people right in front of you. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Inside The Law Filing Property Tax Appeals Appropriately
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Any taxpayer considering an appeal to their property taxes should first understand the deadlines and procedures involved. Deadlines for Tax Appeals are continuously in a state of flux. If you are considering an appeal, it is of the utmost necessity that you contact your County Board of Taxation immediately upon receiving your tax bill to identify what your individualized filing deadline may be. The deadline to file a property tax appeal is normally April 1st, or within 45 days after the tax assessor mails you an assessment notice – whichever is later. However, this April 1st deadline may not always be when an appeal must be filed by. Monmouth County has a deadline of January 15th, and if any filing date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the filing date is pushed forward to the succeeding business day. Additionally, an appeal deadline may radically change if the Municipality you currently live within goes through a revaluation year. A revaluation year is a program undertaken by a municipality to appraise or re-appraise all real property within that taxing district, according to what the municipality considers “full and fair value” as of October 1 of the pretax year. If such a municipal-wide revaluation or municipal-wide reassessment has been implemented, then ordinarily an appeal deadline will be May 1st. Nonetheless this date is also subject to change based upon when the revaluation occurs. Due to these fluctuations of filing time-frames, it is extremely important to preemptively call to identify the exact date which your appeal
must be filed within. All appeals for properties under $1,000,000 occur with your County Board of Taxation. This means that if you are dissatisfied with the judgment of the County Board of Taxation, you have 45 days from the date your judgment was mailed, to challenge this determination at your local level, and file a further appeal with the Tax Court of New Jersey. However, if your property is assessed for more than $1,000,000, you have the additional option of bypassing your County Board of Taxation, and filing your appeal directly with the State Tax Court. If your property falls within this higher threshold and is assessed for more than $1,000,000, but you decide to keep the tax appeal with your County Board of Taxation, the local Tax Board also retains the right to transfer the appeal directly to the Tax Court of New Jersey if they so choose appropriate. The above items may be overwhelming and we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

MacArthur Talks Addiction, Offshore Drilling, And Taxes
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd) spoke about the federal budget, opioid abuse, and other topics at the Ocean County Mayors’ Association meeting on May 15. He gave a brief speech to the government officials assembled at a breakfast meeting, and then took questions. Offshore Drilling Some of the officials were concerned about offshore drilling. The issue stemmed from when Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke announced a Draft Proposed Program months ago that initially included the potential lease sales to energy companies that would have allowed them to look for fuel off the Jersey shore. Florida officials petitioned the federal government to take them off the market, because of the detriment that drilling would cause to the tourism industry. When they were successful, New Jersey officials
followed suit. MacArthur said that there are less resources off the coast of New Jersey than in other areas. He had spoken to Zinke about it and there was an indication from his office that there’s less interest in New Jersey. “He’s a friend, and I trust him, but he’s not the only player in this,” he said.
Taxes As of this publication date, the federal debt is currently at $21.1 trillion. “That $21 trillion is in the background of every vote I make,” MacArthur said. The federal Tax Cuts And Jobs Act, passed last year, has an additional $1.5 trillion in debt built into it. MacArthur was the only one from New Jersey to vote for it. “Although I had to vote alone, I am not shying away from that vote,” he said. Included in that bill was a deduction for State and Local Taxes up to $10,000. “That was worth getting $3.4 billion to this state every year. What would another ‘no’
Central Will Have One School Day On A Saturday
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The Central Regional School District will hold class on Saturday, June 9, to make up a school closing from earlier this month. Superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides put out a letter to parents stating that there will be a half day for students on June 9. The Middle School will have class from 8:40 a.m. to 1:20 p.m., and the high school will be from 7:40 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. Lunches will be served that day, and the pick-up time will be the same as a regular abbreviated schedule. The cause for this stems from the district closing on May 4 due to a power outage. The schools did not receive the 240 minutes of instruction that the law requires, he
said. So, that day did not count in the eyes of the state. If the district had added on a school day to the end of the year, it would have thrown off the graduation day, he said in the letter. The state requires 180 days of school before the graduation ceremony. A Saturday school day would cause less upset in people’s schedules than to upset the graduation plans of families who have relatives coming in from out of state. It would also roll over into the elementary school district, because it would have to move the date of the Berkeley Township Elementary graduation, since they would be using Central’s facilities. The graduations are still set for the Middle School at 6 p.m. on June 15, and for the High School at 6 p.m. on June 18.

vote do for New Jersey? Nothing,” he said.
Opioid Abuse And Bipartisanship “Yesterday, 174 people died of an overdose in this country. People have already died this morning while we’re sitting here,” he told the group assembled for the meeting. If this number of people had died from any other cause, people would be marching for change. Two ways to combat this are funding and policy change. Policy changes he mentioned included preventing people from doctor shopping or pharmacy shopping for a place to get prescriptions, and reducing the amount of pills that come from a first prescription. The war against opioid abuse needs to continue to be funded. Every dollar of prevention saves $6 in treatment and $5 in criminal justice costs, he said. “If we don’t put enough money into it, we’re not serious about it,” he said. “It’s one of the biggest crises of this generation.
It’s bigger than any of us, but it’s not bigger than all of us.” With this, he segued into bipartisanship, and how people need to work together. He spoke of working with Sen. Cory Booker to get the area designated a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, which provided resources leading to at least one major arrest. He reaffi rmed his strategy to work in a bipartisan manner whenever possible. It’s a good way to make lasting change, because bipartisan policies are not changed as quickly when control of the House changes. “It’s an election year. It’s getting harder to work together,” he said. He addressed what was reported as a shouting match between him and Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY) over the resignation of Chaplain Patrick Conroy. “I thought Joe was taking a cheap shot,” and politicizing the Conroy issue, he said. “He’s a friend. I go to his prayer service every week.”

Ocean County Officials Warn Residents: Be Wary Of Ticks
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Attention Ocean County residents! Be on the lookout for ticks and tick borne illnesses as you spend more time outdoors during the warmer weather this year. Ocean County officials urge everyone to be vigilant to avoid tick bites and infections. “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reported that the number of disease cases from ticks have doubled in the last 13 years,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Health Department. “It is important that we work together to educate and raise awareness so we can keep the number of tick borne illness incidents low.” The CDC reported that NJ was in the top 20 percent of states, with over 12,856 disease cases from ticks reported between 2004 and 2016. Officials ask you to take precautions when venturing outdoors this season. “When spending time outdoors it is very important to be vigilant of tick bites,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who is also liaison to the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Service. “One of the most important things we can do is take precautions to help reduce the chance of getting a tick infection.” A well-known tick borne illness is Lyme disease, spread by the blacklegged tick (deer tick). This tick can be found in the shrubby understory of the forest, high grassy areas, and in open fields; they prefer the cool, moist woodlands. The Rutgers Cooperative Extension Service of Ocean County reported that 20-45 percent of deer ticks in NJ carry Lyme disease. More than 70 percent of Lyme disease cases occur from the bite of ticks in the nymph stage – which is the size of a poppy seed. The Ocean County Health Department suggests these prevention methods to keep clear of ticks, including: • Walking on cleared trails • Staying in the center of a trail to minimize contact with leaf litter, brush and high grasses • Minimizing the amount of exposed skin
by wearing white socks, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt. You can tuck the pant legs into the socks, so ticks cannot crawl up the inside of the pants • Wearing light-colored clothing to make it easier to spot ticks • Removing ticks immediately before going indoors • Applying repellents to skin and clothing (Products that contain DEET can be directly applied to exposed skin and to clothing. Permethrin (hunter-grade) products can be applied to clothing/boots/shoes – not to skin - and actually kill ticks on contact with the treated clothing • Using a hand-held mirror to thoroughly view all parts of the body • Checking children and pets for ticks If you find a tick on yourself, your child or your pet: • Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. • Pull upward with steady, even pressure. • Do not twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouthparts with tweezers. • After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water. Note: a tick must feed for at least 24 hours before they can transmit the Lyme disease bacterium. Make sure to follow these precautionary steps to avoid contact with ticks. In the event that you find a tick on yourself or someone else, try to avoid remedies such as “painting” the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly, or using heat to make the tick detach from the skin. If you find a tick, place it in a sealed container with a slightly damp (with water, not alcohol) piece of paper towel. You can bring it to the Rutgers Cooperative Extension, 1623 Whitesville Road in Toms River, for identification. Tick experts are available from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. For more information, call the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Office at 732-3491246, or visit the Extension Office website at ocean.njaes.rutgers.edu.

LITTLE EGG HARBOR – Nearly half a dozen of New Jersey’s finest wineries will be participating at this year’s first annual Cuisine on the Green Wine Festival, taking place at the Cuisine on the Green at Atlantis Golf Club in Little Egg Harbor, next month. Festival-goers of the inaugural festival will get the chance to sample some special, and in some cases, limited edition varieties exclusive to Cuisine on the Green. Let’s take a look at some of them. The two-day-long wine festival will feature tastings of wine from a variety of Garden State vineries, including Monroeville Vineyard & Winery, Shamong’s Valenzano Winery, Villari Vineyards, Swedesboro’s Wagonhouse Winery and Hammonton’s DiMatteo’s Vineyards. Monroeville will offer up their dry white Bella, their Richwood blend, their Stillwater white, and sangria. The featured wine is their semi-sweet Blackberry wine. Valenzano, based in Shamong in Burlington County, will bring along their special blackberry syrah, peach pinot grigio, Cherish chocolate, Jersey Devil port, and a Sangiovene, among many others, and will highlight their favorite White Sangria. Villari Vineyards, a fourth generation family farm in South Jersey, will offer a dry chardonnay, a dry rose and cabernet sauvignon, a semi-sweet moscato, and will be highlighting their special Albarino. Wagonhouse Winery, of Gloucester County, will feature their Three Boys’ Brand wines, such as Fallen Quaker, Daisy-Grace, Ornery Apple, and myriad reds and whites. They will be highlighting their Three Boys
Brand’s Shore Thing at the festival. And lastly, DiMatteo Vineyards, will bring their Cranberry and Crantasia fruit wines, and various white and red wines, including their Pasquale red and feature their Blackeye. The inaugural Cuisine on the Green Wine Festival runs from noon to 5 p.m. on June 2, and June 3, rain or shine. There will be live musical performances from solo guitarist Astronaut Jones and the Crabdaddy Band, as well as artisan crafters, such as I See Spain’s ceramic pottery from Spain and Susan Ruth Creations; retail vendors, such as Lularoe, Scentsy and Tastefully Simple; and food for purchase prepared by Cuisine on the Green, the culinary training grounds for Ocean County Vocational Technical School (OCVTS). A portion of the proceeds will benefit Sylvia’s Childlre, a 501(c)3 changing the lives of orphans in Uganda, Africa by giving them an education and a life out of poverty.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of may 19 - may 25 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Making yourself financially secure may become a top priority. You may occasionally be awkward in social situations in the week ahead, but your pioneering spirit will help you successfully go it alone. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The higher you raise the bar, the greater the rewards. Set your goals as high as possible in the upcoming week and work towards achieving them. You and a special someone will be on the same page tonight. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Fight like a warrior if your career is on the line but exude warmth in social situations. The week ahead can be particularly profitable if your job includes sales. You can compete without losing sight of good manners. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your friendliness may attract admirers, but don’t let them distract you from your obligations. As this week unfolds you may be able to stabilize or improve your financial condition with the help of a trustworthy partner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Fanciful flirtations can sweeten the week ahead, but it is best to avoid any appearance of impropriety in the workplace. You and a loved one may share a passion for picture perfect results and work hard to achieve it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take things as they are. You may get caught up in daydreams or fantasies as this week unfolds. Something that grabs your attention or looks attractive may reflect your wishful thinking rather than having intrinsic value. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You have
enough love and affection to share with everyone you meet. You are also generous with your cash. Be crystal clear, however, if repayment is required and set a firm limit on spending for the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An opportunity may be too good to pass up. Taking a risk will likely meet with success if you don’t lose touch with common sense this week. Romantic moments with a loving partner may be in your near future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be prepared to make quick decisions in the upcoming week. Most battles are won or lost before they are even fought. There’s no challenge too big to conquer if you have done your homework and plan carefully. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your desire for a free-range lifestyle may be limited by family dynamics or demands. In the upcoming week you may be at a disadvantage in social settings or group activities. Focus on getting finances in shape. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Increase your energy levels. Competitive sports, workouts or even long walks with a partner can improve your productivity. Focus on long term investments in the week ahead and only purchase enduring products. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your obvious friendliness guarantees that everyone is pulling for you to succeed. You will receive helping hands whenever they are needed. Make choices that benefit many rather than a few in the week ahead. (c) 2018 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.
wolfgang puck’s kitchen Curry Favor: Tropical Recipe Provides Respite From Ever-Changing Seasonal Temps By Wolfgang Puck People living in tropical climates understand the role that eating spicy foods can play in helping them adjust to the weather. A subtle or not-sosubtle jolt of chilies or the sweet-hot glow of fresh ginger (or similar seasonings) can warm you up from the inside when chilly breezes are blowing. And, interestingly, those same ingredients can cool you off on a hot summer day by making you sweat just a little. So now is a perfect time to cook something spicy, when many of us are still enjoying springtime temperatures while looking forward to summer’s arrival. That is why I’m happy to share a recipe straight out of the tropics for a seafood curry developed by my team of chefs at Spago in the Four Seasons Resort on Maui. You’ll find curry in many different Asian cuisines, from India to Thailand and Malaysia to even Japan, where it was originally introduced by the British. But the British, in fact, picked up their love of curry in India - an interesting example of how culinary influences can travel full circle. This particular recipe, with its coconut milk base, sweet and tangy tamarind paste and more exotic ingredients like galangal (a root similar to ginger but earthier in flavor), is closest to the Thai style of curry. Use a mild or medium-spicy curry powder blend. You can find all of the ingredients in well-stocked ethnic markets or online; and in the recipe itself I suggest substitutions for items that may be harder to locate. To complement and balance with the spiciness, the sauce includes not only sweet banana but also fresh lemon, lime and orange juices. To accompany the curry and soak up every drop of its delicious sauce, the recipe includes a tropical rice that’s as simple to make as the main dish itself. Be sure to seek out jasmine rice, an easy-to-find long-grained variety prized for a fragrance reminiscent of its namesake. Like so many good recipes, this one offers many opportunities for making up your own variations. In place of the shrimp, feel free to substitute fresh scallops or chunks of whatever fish fillet you like, adjusting the cooking time according to the variety of seafood. You could also replace all or some of the banana with another tropic fruit such as pineapple or mango, or even something more exotic like the lychee. Sweet onion and squares of red, green, orange or yellow bell peppers also taste delicious and look beautiful added along with the fruit. If you’ve never made curry before, this recipe provides a perfect introduction. And you’ll feel cool, both literally and figuratively, once you’ve added it to your repertoire! SHRIMP AND BANANA CURRY WITH COCONUT RICE Serves 8 1/4 cup (60 mL) peanut oil 24 jumbo shrimp, about 4 1/2 pounds (2.25 kg), peeled and deveined 2 large ripe but firm bananas, peeled and chopped 1 green apple, cored and chopped 3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled 2 stalks lemongrass, chopped 1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped fresh galangal, or 1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped fresh ginger
1/4 cup (60 mL) finely chopped fresh ginger 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped green onion 4 tablespoons mild to medium-hot Thai or Indian curry powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 5 cups (1.25 L) canned coconut milk 1 lemon, juiced 1 lime, juiced 1 orange, juiced 4 tablespoons tamarind paste 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh cilantro leaves 1/4 cup (60 mL) torn Thai basil leaves or regular basil leaves 3 dried kaffir lime leaves, or 3 large strips lime zest Coconut rice (recipe follows) In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When it is hot enough to swirl easily, add the shrimp and saute, stirring continuously, just until they start to turn pink but are not yet cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan to a plate, and set aside. Add the bananas, apple, garlic, lemongrass, galangal, ginger and green onion to the pan; saute, stirring continuously, until they begin to soften but yet brown, about 4 minutes. Add the curry powder and cumin, and saute, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, and stir and scrape to deglaze any pan deposits; then, stir in the lemon, lime and orange juices, tamarind paste and cilantro. Bring to a boil; then, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Strain the sauce through a fine-meshed sieve into a clean heatproof bowl. Return the sauce to the pan over medium-high heat. Stir in the Thai basil and kaffir lime leaves. Return the shrimp to the sauce and cook just until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Mound the rice on the center of each heated serving plate. Place 3 shrimp on top, and spoon the sauce over and around the rice. COCONUT RICE Serves 8 2 cups (500 mL) jasmine rice 3 cups (750 mL) cold water 4 ounces (125 g) unsalted butter 1 orange, zested 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 cup (250 mL) finely shredded unsweetened coconut Pinch saffron threads 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro or mint leaves Put the rice in a fine-meshed strainer, rinse under cold running water, and drain well; repeat. Transfer the rice to a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and add the 3 cups (750 mL) water. Bring to boil over high heat; then cover securely with the lid, reduce the heat to maintain a very gentle simmer, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave still covered to steam for about 10 minutes longer. Uncover the rice, add the butter, orange zest, cumin and coconut, and stir lightly with a fork, fluffing the rice, until combined. With your fingertips, crumble the saffron over the rice and fluff again with the fork. Stir in the cilantro or mint and serve.
