New Application Made For VA Clinic

By Chris Lundy TOMS R I V ER – Toms River has made a formal application to house a veterans clinic to replace the over-capacity one in Brick. Currently, the James J. Howard Outpatient Clinic is near Route 70 and Jack Mar tin Boulevard. Veterans

have called this location crowded and hard to get to because of traffic. Local officials have been trying to find another site. 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 find the back entrance to the Seacourt Mall. This spot would be the best case scenario for a VA clinic, said (VA - See Page 5)

Memorial Day Mission: Stand Up Against Hate

various groups either in person or online. There wasn’t any incident that spurred this on, but rather this initiative has grown out of regular meetings with religious leaders. “Once you understand the culture, you understand the person that much more,” he said. “Whether you’re Muslim, Jewish, or Christian, we’re all human. We need to get along, and sometimes the reason we don’t is we don’t understand enough about each other’s culture.” This might be the start of a regular series, he said. It was tied to Memorial Day for a few reasons. During the summer, the county’s population swells to 1.2 million, he said. The best time to reach the largest audience was the kick-off of the summer season. Also, on Memorial Day, we remember those who fought for our freedom, and it’s important to reflect on what those soldiers fought for. Religious leaders have put together two videos to drive home the message. They can be found here: youtu.be/41Poﬁb48i4 and youtu.be/VeQdAKSMxdo.

Continued From Page 1 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. Meanwhile, Brick Mayor John Ducey has proposed a plot of land in the triangle between Route 88, Jack Martin Boulevard, and Burrsville Avenue. He stated that the land there would be perfect because it is across the street from Ocean Medical Center in case a veteran has more emergent needs.

New Jersey Way

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – At mosques, synagogues, and churches this weekend, there will be a common refrain: “Love Thy Neighbor.” They will be urging their congregations to stand up against hatred, racism and anti-Semitism. This is a joint effort between more than 30 faith-based leaders spanning every denomination in Ocean County and the County Prosecutor’s Office. On Fridays, mosques will spread the message. On Saturday, temples. And on Sunday, churches. The movement is trying to make people take a step forward and get to know someone who is different from you, whether that difference is based on faith, race, or culture. And hopefully that will “bring back our humanity,” Prosecutor Joseph Coronato said. There have been instances of bias crimes in the county, he said. There is also defamatory talk among residents, ridiculing

House Defense Authorization Bill Gives Raises To Military, Supports Programs From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. – The defense funding authorization bill for the 2019 Fiscal Year (FY) that has Rep. Chris Smith’s (R-4th) support includes $10.2 million for Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, authorizes the largest pay raise for military personnel in nine years, and leaves

out the federal process to realign and/or close military bases. “I am committed to ensuring that the men and women who serve our country in the armed forces have as much support as possible,” Rep. Smith stated. “For too long they have been in dire

need of a boost but have not received one - financially, through troop support, and by modernizing our equipment. The last defense spending bill provided much-needed upgrades to our combat readiness and military equipment, and this bill would continue that support.” The FY 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) has a topline of $717 billion, $17.4 billion more than the FY2018 NDAA. It authorizes a pay increase for servicewomen and men of 2.6 percent, more than the 2.4 percent raise in the previous

NDAA and the largest in nine years. This includes $10.2 million for Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to replace the Hot Cargo Hydrant System, used for aircraft that require hazardous cargo parking. “As the current refueling system is broken, the aircraft with hazardous cargo must be refueled by tanker trucks - a time-and-labor intensive process that is costly, inefficient and increases the risk of fuel spills,” Smith said. “This necessary replacement of the hydrant system would

upgrade the safety and efficiency of the tanker refueling at the base.” Also, U.S. military readiness receives another significant boost in the bill, which authorizes: • $39.5 billion for new aircraft • $36 billion for new ships and the maintenance of existing ships • $23.3 billion for repairs and rebuilding of military buildings and infrastructure • $18.6 billion for rehabilitation and replacement of worn out Army equipment “It’s very important to note

Facebook Has The Power To Be Used Ethically Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) called on Facebook to enact a number of additional reforms on the heels of its recent announcement that it would undergo a civil rights audit and political bias review. Specifically, Booker pushed Facebook to use its data as a source for good by creating a public data trust and establishing industry-wide ethical frameworks. “Announcing plans for a civil rights and safety audit is an important and significant step,” Booker wrote in a letter sent to Facebook Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. “However, the audit is one action among many Facebook should take to provide its users a more inclusive, equitable, and safe platform. I urge Facebook to partner with outside stakeholders to use Facebook’s vast trove of data as a force for positive change. “I also strongly suggest that Facebook work with

organizers, activists, technologists and data ethicists to establish industry-wide ethical frameworks and implement a Data Code of Ethics,” Booker added. Booker also called on the tech giant to improve diversity within its ranks, citing unacceptable statistics such as the fact that only one percent of the fi rm’s U.S. technical employees identify as black. “If Facebook is truly committed to eliminating harassment and discrimination on its platform and understanding how social media and big data affects underserved communities, then recruiting, hiring, and retaining diverse researchers and data scientists must be an imperative,” Booker wrote. The letter follows similar questions Booker asked of Zuckerberg during a hearing in the Senate last month. In response to Booker’s questions, Zuckerberg indicated openness to au-

diting the fi rm’s practices and policies as it relates to discrimination on the platform. The full text of the letter is as follows:

Dear Mr. Zuckerberg: I am encouraged by the announcement that Facebook will facilitate an independent civil rights and safety audit of Facebook’s products and policies in order to respond to the rampant hate speech, discriminatory practices, censorship, and surveillance occurring on the platform. In response to questions I posed to you during last month’s Senate hearing into Facebook’s data malpractice, you stated such an audit was a “very good idea.” I am heartened this idea is being bolstered with real action. A thorough, open assessment of Facebook’s operations is a necessary step to better understanding how Facebook’s products and policies failed to protect vulnerable communities. Yet, there is more to be done. Building communities and truly bringing the world closer together will require more than mitigating the harm caused by Facebook’s missteps. Rath-

er, Facebook must commit to harnessing its data to positively affect those communities. This is not a task that Facebook should endeavor upon on its own. Therefore, I urge Facebook to partner with outside stakeholders to use Facebook’s vast trove of data as a force for positive change. Advocates have suggested that Facebook create a public data trust - a clearinghouse where students, community leaders, organizers, scientists and developers can access anonymized Facebook data for research in service of the public interest. Indeed there are already notable examples of Facebook using its internal researchers and technology to serve the public good by: proactively detecting suicidal posts before they’re reported; increasing our understanding of housing prices; and helping relief organizations around the world respond to natural disasters. The possibilities for Facebook’s user data are endless and, accordingly, its usage should not be restricted to internal Facebook researchers and scientists. Partnering with community-led organizations in a data trust could

help to scale their work in racial justice, women’s health, affordable housing, violence reduction, and many other fields in ways simply not possible outside of Facebook. To be sure, even the most well-intentioned research demands oversight and accountability and Facebook has not always conducted its experiments in ways that were forthcoming and transparent. Given the sensitivity of the research data and potential for abuse, I also strongly suggest that Facebook work with organizers, activists, technologists and data ethicists to establish industry-wide ethical frameworks and implement a Data Code of Ethics. Additionally, just as the civil rights and safety audit will subject Facebook’s practices and policies to external review, Facebook’s research efforts should also be rigorously reviewed and analyzed by an outside entity. Finally, as I mentioned during the hearing, Facebook must improve its diversity numbers. Silicon Valley remains disturbingly behind in matters of inclusion. You recently announced that by the end

that the current legislation rejects authorization for the military’s Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process,” Smith said. Smith supported the FY2018 NDAA, which provided support to the men and women serving in the armed forces and authorized over $146.5 million for JB-MDL for construction projects related to the arrival of the KC-46A refueling tanker anticipated for 2021, as well as $11.6 million for Navy Reserve and Marine Corps Reserve projects at the base for aircraft apron, taxiway, and support facilities.

of the year Facebook will create 5,000 new positions, for, among other f unctions, reviewing content. However, only 1 percent of Facebook’s U.S. technical employees identify as black. If Facebook is truly committed to eliminating harassment and discrimination on its platform and understanding how social media and big data affects underserved communities, then recruiting, hiring, and retaining diverse researchers and data scientists must be an imperative. Announcing plans for a civil rights and safety audit is an important and significant step. However, the audit is one action among many Facebook should take to provide its users a more inclusive, equitable, and safe platform. Facebook’s mission statement is “Give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.” Giving people the power means exactly that. I urge you to make your decision to work with outside entities on an audit the genesis of a larger commitment by Facebook to share information and resources with the community that makes Facebook what it is.

Meetings Will Explain Reassessment

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. If a town’s average ratables are more than 15 percent off from the market for a few years in a row, the county orders the town to fix the problem. Towns can either do a re-assessment inhouse or hire an outside firm to do a revaluation. Manchester has historically done inhouse re-assessments because they are much cheaper. A reassessment does not necessarily mean an increase in taxes for every homeowner, said the town’s tax assessor, Martin Lynch. Some tax bills will go up, and some will stay the same, but some will go down. It also doesn’t mean that the town is bringing in more taxes because of this. The town will bring in the same taxes, but the amount individuals owe may change. Meetings have been scheduled to provide

information to residents about the process: • 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. Inspections have begun in some neighborhoods, Lynch said. An inspector will come to your home, and will have identification that they are from the town. If you are not home, a notice will be left asking you to schedule another time to come out. Inspectors will measure the outside of a property, and inspect the inside. They will be looking at any information that would determine the value of the property, including the design, style, condition, plumbing, heat source, air conditioning and the basement. Your new assessment will be mailed in the fall of 2019. They won’t impact residents until the 2020 tax year. There is a review and appeal process. 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.

ing. Items will remain at the Whiting Reading Center until 1 p.m., Saturday, June 9. Customers may call to request their holds be sent to any of our other 20 locations. The Manchester Branch interior renovation project will increase the number of meeting rooms available for use by the public from one to three, and relocate the children’s area to the rear of the building to provide families and grandparents with additional space for story time and children’s activities. The branch will receive new carpeting and the restrooms will be refreshed. The technology infrastructure will also be upgraded. For the benefit of our hearing-impaired customers, a hearing loop system compatible with most common types of hearing aids, will amplify sound during library programs. “The Ocean County Library makes every effort to provide the most updated state of the art technology and facilities for our residents,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Library. “Once this work is completed and the branch is reopened, this newly renovated facility will provide our residents with more space, more room for children’s activities, technology upgrades including advances to help hearing-impaired patrons in a more efficient and modernized atmosphere. We look forward to June 11 when we will invite our citizens back to a renovated facility with new and helpful features.” Ocean County Library Director Susan Quinn noted the library’s commitment to connecting people, building community and transforming lives through excellence in facilities and advancements in technology. “We hope our residents enjoy the new features coming to the Manchester Branch. We are looking forward to enhancing our library services to continue to educate, entertain and bring together the members of our community,” Quinn said. “We look forward to providing new and expanded services to accommodate all of the groups that use the library,” said Ocean County Library Commission Chair Susan L. Hutler. “Manchester staff are very excited for the renovation and look forward to better serving our customers in our improved building,” said Branch Manager Erin DeLucia.

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino shared his experiences with addiction at the Finding HOPE for Life Support Group Meeting recently at Holy Cross Lutheran Church. The discussion was moderated by Steve Willis, co-founder of HOPE Sheds Light, a local nonprofit dedicated to educating families on the disease of addiction by creating awareness. “We want to do our part to remove the fear and the stigma of this disease by offering a loving and safe environment that leads families to wellness, and the community as well,” said Willis. Finding HOPE is a support group that meets the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at the Holy Cross Lutheran Church, where anyone can go to get or give support to those dealing with the disease of addiction. At the meeting, Sorrentino, accompanied by his fiancée Lauren Pesce, shared their journey through addiction and recovery, which transformed “The Situation” into somewhat of “The Inspiration.” You may remember Sorrentino from his infamous rise to fame on MTV’s Jersey Shore, where his character “The Situation” was known for partying hard. What you may not have known was that he also battled with addiction to prescription painkillers for five years following the end of the show. Now clean, Sorrentino credits the Discovery Institute for Addictive Disorders and Pesce for his accomplishment. Discovery encouraged him to “put all hands on deck” and do whatever it takes to be clean. “I’ll be honest, I hated everything about it [rehab],” joked Sorrentino. “But…I wanted better for myself and I was going to do whatever it takes to get there.” “I am responsible and accountable for my decisions in life, and no one is coming to save me,” he added. Sorrentino went through about a full year of treatment with Discovery, a combination of inpatient, outpatient, and one-on-one counseling. He said that he stuck to it and gave it his all, which helped him come out the other side. One thing that treatment helped Sorrentino to do was face “the wreckage of his past,” and all

of the bad decisions he may have made while using. He remarked that someone who has suffered with addiction, who wants to recover, is eventually going to have to face his/her past, just as he did, so they can move forward. “I had to humble myself, I had to educate myself, I had to understand that I didn’t know everything,” said Sorrentino on the start of his recovery. His first step to fight some of the negativity during the beginning stages of recovery, he said, was to be a better person. “It costs zero dollars to be a kind person.” Sorrentino also noted that his “obsessive personality” made it difficult to stay on the road to recovery. “I had to get to the root of it [the problem],” he said. A popular theme of Jersey Shore was their schedule of GTL or Gym, Tan, and Laundry. Sorrentino remarked that during his recovery he altered that schedule to GTM: Gym, Tan, and (recovery) Meeting. Sorrentino’s fiancée also spoke about how their relationship also contributed to his recovery. Pesce and Sorrentino dated during college around 2004. After going their separate ways for some time, they came back together in 2013. Pesce said she knew Sorrentino “while he was actively using.” She explained that Sorrentino would go through stages of doing great and then relapsing while he was using. “He would relapse, and he would relapse hard, and it would be devastating; I stuck by him through that, it was not easy,” she said. Pesce shared her own experiences with addiction, having a younger brother succumb to an overdose four years ago. This experience helped her to work on herself and embolden her to be a contributing factor to Sorrentino’s recovery. She accompanies Sorrentino to his recovery meetings and work events, noting “I try to be a layer of support for him.” “I live right now with new purpose, peace, and integrity,” said Sorrentino. “I don’t lie, I don’t cheat, I don’t steal, I don’t drink, I don’t drug…I don’t even speed,” he joked. Sorrentino remarked that he wouldn’t have dreamed that he has become the person he sees himself as today and he is grateful.

MANCHESTER – Continuing a tradition of more than 20 years, students at Manchester Township Middle School experienced Stand by Me Day on May 18. Instead of their regular classes, students attended presentations designed to inspire and inform. The idea behind the event is to show students that there is a community of caring adults ready to ‘stand by’ them as they face the challenges of adolescence. Speakers from the organization Steered Straight spoke to large groups in the gym about substance abuse prevention, with emphasis on the opioid epidemic, and encouraged students to make healthy, positive choices. Award winning artist, James Fiorentino, spoke about self-esteem and arts in education. Fiorentino is considered one of the most renowned sports artists in the country. He was the youngest artist ever to be inducted into the New York Society of Illustrators and, at age 15, the youngest artist to have their work displayed in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Ava Bullis, a student at the middle school, brought representatives from her organization, Ava’s Voice, which works to provide resources and education to the public about hearing loss, vision loss and deaf-blindness. Ava herself has hearing and vision loss resulting from Usher Syndrome. Ava and her group showed students what it is like to be

Keeping You Informed: Over-the-Counter Devices

With last summer’s passage of the Over-theCounter Hearing Aid Act of 2017, you may wonder how it affects your health care. As an AudigyCertified™ practice, we consider patient education an important part of delivering excellent service, so count on us for timely news to support your hearing wellness. What does the law do? The legislation, part of the Food and Drug Administration Reauthorization Act, will allow the retail sale of hearing aids for adults with self-perceived mild to moderate hearing loss — without the crucial involvement of an audiologist or medical doctor. When will I see its impact? Over-the-counter (OTC) hearing technology is at most a few years from being publicly available until federal regulations for safety, labeling, and manufacturing are developed. What are the pros of this change? The law could help expand consumer access to hearing technology, motivate even more people to seek hearing help, and inspire more technical innovations that benefit patients. What are the cons? Access to hearing health care is vital, but the law unfortunately will enable self-treatment for a serious physical condition that trained, licensed professionals are more suited to evaluate, diagnose, and treat. Aren’t OTC hearing devices already available? You may be thinking of personal sound amplification products (PSAPs), which are wearable electronic devices used for activities such as bird-watching or TV-viewing to make a sound louder — not to take the place of properly fit hearing aids. What’s the difference between OTC devices and PSAPs? Currently available PSAPs are

neither FDA-approved nor recommended to treat actual hearing loss. OTC hearing technology will be FDA-regulated but won’t be available for a while. Once available on the market, will OTCs address my hearing needs? Hearing loss is often an inner-ear problem, but sometimes it’s a different issue such as earwax buildup, a foreign object in the ear canal, or an ear infection that may cause temporary hearing difficulty. A PSAP or OTC won’t tackle these types of underlying problems. What else should I know about OTCs? OTCs will address only mild to moderate hearing loss, and even then, noise processing will be far less than a traditional hearing aid. They won’t always offer a successful fit and may be less specific for your situation. What’s the benefit of choosing provider-fit hearing aids instead? Unlike OTCs and PSAPs, provider-fit hearing aids can address the full spectrum of hearing impairment from mild to profound. They’re already FDA-approved, are recommended to treat hearing loss, and can adjust to environmental variables such as background noise as well as help your brain process sound. Self-treating hearing loss might seem convenient, but it can do more harm than good. Professional care — including testing, programming, fitting, and follow-up — helps you get to the bottom of your hearing difficulties and secure the right solution for your communication needs. If you have questions about OTC hearing technology, signs and symptoms of hearing loss, or the dangers of self-treating hearing problems, call us today at 732-818-3610 we’re here to help!

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!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Aloe Vera Has 10 Impressive Uses By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Aloe vera made a couple of headlines recently. The fi rst was when the actress Drew Barrymore dabbed some on a facial sore and it instantly took out the redness. The second was when Prop 65 regulations in California called out a known carcinogen in aloe vera called “aloin.” Don’t worry, aloe will never get banned! Not to be morbid from the get-go, but extracted compounds from this spiky succulent were used in the Middle East during ancient times to clean dead bodies and prepare them for burial. Plants of aloe very give us two different substances, one is called “gel” and the other is called “latex. Both have medicinal value. The gel is the clear part that comes from the center of the leaf. You know it well… it looks like jelly and it’s what you put on the skin for cuts and minor burns. The aloe latex is visible just beneath the plant’s outer skin, and it’s yellow in color. This has a laxative effect on the body. Aloe is very useful for psoriasis, food sensitivities, diabetes, gastritis and gingivitis. If these topics interest you, I have a way longer version of this article which I’ll email to you next week if you sign up to receive my free health newsletter at suzycohen. Right now, here are 10 things you can use your aloe plant for: 1. Moisturize Yourself: Mix some into your favorite lotion and put on your face or arms. 2. Heal Bug Bites: Dab aloe gel directly

onto painful or itchy but bites, or combine the aloe in the palm of your hand with some hydrocortisone cream. 3. Cool off burns: Squeeze a dab of aloe vera into traditional burn ointment and use on superficial burns. 4. Soothe eczema itch: You can buy any salt or sugar scrub that feels good to you and just mix in aloe vera gel. 5. Ease dandruff: Find a selenium sulfide-based shampoo and add some aloe vera gel to the shampoo then massage to your scalp. 6. Fix gingivitis: Squeeze some aloe vera gel onto your toothbrush and brush like normal. 7. Shave your legs: Instead of using expensive, perfumed shaving cream on your legs, use aloe vera gel. 8. Get moving: There are commercially prepared products used as dietary supplements which might help constipation. Some people like this, others react poorly. 9. Succulent Facial: Do you want softer skin and more radiance without spending a fortune on fancy creams? Apply the gel to your cheeks and forehead, and rest for 15 minutes. Rinse and pat dry. 10. Soothe a sunburn: Snap off a stalk from your aloe plant and apply the clear gel onto the sunburned area for a natural cooling balm. It helps with redness and inflammation. These sound great and they are for most people. Occasionally with aloe, you hear of unexpected problems such as diarrhea, skin or eye irritation and possibly dehydration from the laxative effect.

Bad Karma: Seaside Cracks Down On Nightclub

By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Business Administrator Christopher J. Vaz plans to propose a set of proposals to end, “once and for all, the craziness that occurs this time of year with prom and graduation parties in Seaside Heights motel/hotels and apartments.” Vaz stated on social media on May 23 that the Borough Attorney Jean Cipriani was

directed to seek an immediate injunction in Ocean County Superior Court toward the operator of Karma to stop its operation on grounds that the nightclub was in violation of the existing site plan approvals for a restaurant. According to the land use board’s 2008 approval the licensee must operate a full restaurant service to be run by an independent

restauranteur on the first level. A 2002 site plan approval included a representation by the prior licensee that the proposed construction would contain a restaurant facility together with a pub which would have a sports bar theme. Live entertainment, specifically jazz, would be played on occasion at the site. The owners of Savor, the restaurant that previously operated out of the facility,

announced in April that it would not be returning. The current ownership recently announced its opening on Memorial Day weekend as a nightclub on social media. Its grand opening was promised to include a May 27 “hyperglow party” which on social media describes itself as an ongoing large party of high energy dance music in an ultra violet atmosphere. Several criminal incidents that occurred during Memorial Weekend at Karma led to further scrutiny of the business’s operation. Borough Police Chief Thomas Boyd said May 28 that “due to the incidents of overdoses and underage drinking I can’t comment on this ongoing investigation.” Vaz said that Cipriani will be directed to prepare and serve a separate administrative complaint seeking revocation of the operator’s Alcohol Beverage Commission license. He also stated that a multi-layered proposal will soon be presented to the governing body that would include the introduction of an ordinance resembling those in other municipalities that state, “no room shall be rented to any person who shall be under 21 years of age at the time of the rental when not accompanied by a parent or legal guardian or providing proof of emancipation. Said age is set to deter security issues associated with underage drinking, violence, and vandalism.” “Enough is enough,” Mayor Anthony Vaz said on May 28. “The Vaz administration will be working on this very forcefully and rapidly.” Mayor Vaz noted that Christopher, who is his son, also plans to introduce a resolution that directs code enforcement and requests state inspectors to strictly enforce occupancy limits and fire code requirements. The administrator also wants to see an ordinance approved that bans the sale of wristbands to persons who are not registered guests of the rental units. Vaz also posted to social media that “the problems in Seaside Heights will not fix themselves. History has proven year after year that babysitting the minors and trying to control the chaos is not the solution.” “We owe a greater effort to finding a solution to the Seaside Heights property owners - both residential and business owners - who have invested tens of millions of dollars into rebuilding the community after Superstorm Sandy,” Vaz added.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets By: Michael Deem of R.C. Shea & Associates

In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured. The Standard Policy does provide medical

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Michael J. Deem

expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates 732-505-1212 for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

County Acquires Land For Open Space

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – The county is adding more open space to its roll. The freeholders unanimously approved the acquisition of three parcels of land one donation in 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.

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.

The Apprenticeship Trades Certificate Awards recognized those who completed the Electricity; Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC-R); Plumbing; Automotive Mechanic and Maintenance Mechanic programs.

All of this, in just four years. During the ceremony, led by OCVTS Adult Education Principal and Apprenticeship Coordinator Mary Beatty-Sharisky, graduates were given certificates of completion from OCVTS. Students received various awards for their hard work and dedication through the years.

Presented by Assistant Superintendent Nancy Weber-Loeffert, the recipients of the Outstanding Student Awards were: • Maintenance Mechanic graduate Andrew Crawford, of Brick • HVAC-R graduate Michael Peter, Jr., of Manahawkin • Automotive Mechanic graduate Michael DeCrescenzo, of Lanoka Harbor • Plumbing Graduate Gregory Frachette, of Manahawkin.

Ocean County Contractor Charged With Theft

By Jennifer Peacock POINT PLEASANT – A Point Pleasant contractor has been charged with theft. Salvatore Mattiaccio, who owns Level and Square Construction and Remodeling LLC, 3105 Bridge Ave., was charged with third-degree theft for keeping $40,000 after a woman cancelled her contract with him within the mandated three-day cancellation period. Authorities said the woman became skeptical of Mattiaccio, with whom she signed a contract to raise her flood-zone located home. She hand delivered a cancellation notice to the Bridge Avenue

location after she reviewed the contract with her attorney. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office reported that the contract stipulated that the deposit would be returned within 30 days of cancellation. The unnamed woman never got her deposit back. Mattiaccio was out on probation for an unrelated matter, in which he was convicted of two counts for violating the Contractor Regisration Act in February. The prosecutor’s office is asking anyone with information on Mattiaccio to contact Detective Stephen Shadiack at the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027, ext. 2618.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUNE 2 - JUNE 9

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): You may need a factual transfusion to offset fantasies and confusion. As this week unfolds you can avoid conflicts by communicating clearly. You instinctively gravitate toward those who have your best interests at heart. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make the Memorial Day weekend memorable. It isn’t necessary to spend a lot of money to have a good time as fellowship is the key ingredient. A partner’s romantic ideas can make your time together heavenly. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Accept compliments and the generosity of others with good grace in the week ahead. Remain alert for unexpected assistance from a co-worker. Focus on ways to make improvements or solve a long-standing problem. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Win brownie points by being diplomatic and tactful. Someone close may be preoccupied with a project. Be prudent with your pennies because you might need more money than anticipated in the week to come. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may feel driven to make your goals a reality in the week to come. Take some time out to relax during the holiday weekend. Once the work week begins again you may be pressured to perform at a high level of efficiency. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Minor criticisms can help you make major improvements. In the week ahead, you should listen to the advice of others since they may see flaws you don’t notice. Count on enthusiastic support from family members.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Speak up for yourself. If you are too bashful to ask for your fair share, it will most likely go to someone else who is. Family dynamics may involve intense issues in the week ahead, creating the need for a united front. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Lay out the red carpet for visitors and treat co-workers like family in the week ahead. Your willingness to be generous and congenial, even when placed under a great deal of pressure, is likely to win approval. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It may not pay to focus on mere material success. Some money-making ideas may seem enticing in the week ahead, but paying the bills comes first. Pass up anything that involves cleaning out your piggy bank. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Loved ones might not share your intense ambitions as this week unfolds, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t cherished and respected. Remember to appreciate those who support you, no matter how busy you may be. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pull a few strings behind the scenes. Use your people skills in the week ahead to ensure that group activities run smoothly. Check your accounts so you have a clear picture of exactly where your dollars are going. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t fall for the delusion that you can pull off an illusion. You might bask in a rosy world of fantasy this week, but the world expects you to attend to business as usual. Enjoy holiday outings then get back to work.

If you, like many others, love how fire and smoke enhance the appeal of just about any food, I’d like to suggest that you consider finding new ways to step up your grilling game. Sure, burgers, hot dogs and other simple classics are all excellent choices, but that sets the bar fairly low for the three months ahead. So, why not launch the season in style with bold tastes and beautiful presentations? When it comes to grilling, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to make more work for yourself. With some imagination and by serving your meal with thoughtfully prepared accompaniments, you can easily transform your outdoor cooking from ordinary to extraordinary. One of my favorite ways to give grilled food extra flavor is to marinate it. Steeping protein in a marinade infuses it with your seasonings and also, when acid is part of the mixture, helps to tenderize it. In the following recipe, I marinate flat iron steak - a cut that, coming from the more active shoulder muscles, is robust but can be chewy for half a day in a mixture of savory, spicy and sweet ingredients. They’re widely available in supermarkets, yet they produce a flavor profile reminiscent of China’s Szechuan region. The results are wonderfully tender, juicy and aromatic. (Far more tender boneless chicken needs just an hour or two of marinating if you decide to use it for this recipe, and fish fillets need no more than 30 minutes.) Another easy way to elevate your grilling is to prepare a separate, easy, non-grilled accompaniment that becomes part of the final presentation. One of the most popular ways to do this in when the weather is warm is to make a salad on which you serve the grilled food. Anyone who has ever turned a Caesar salad or spinach salad into a light but satisfying main dish by topping it with grilled chicken, salmon, shrimp or steak will understand this immediately, but you can also do the same thing with quickly sauteed or stir-fried vegetables. The quarter hour or so rest that grilled steaks need to allow their bubbling-hot juices to settle before you slice them is more than enough time for you to cook a beautiful medley of vegetables that you finish with a simple glaze that leaves them glistening with delicious flavor. I hope you’ll try my recipe this Memorial Day - and I wish you a summer filled with happy grilling! GRILLED SZECHUAN-MARINATED FLATIRON STEAKS WITH CHILI-GARLIC GLAZED VEGETABLES Serves 4 SZECHUAN-MARINATED STEAKS: 1 cup (250 mL) soy sauce 3/4 cups (185 mL) honey 1/2 cup (125 mL) Worcestershire sauce 1/2 cup (125 mL) mirin or sweet sake 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped garlic

1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped shallots 1/4 cup (60 mL) tomato ketchup 1/4 cup (60 mL) lemon juice 1/4 cup (60 mL) sambal (bottled chili-garlic paste) 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning 2 thick slices ginger root, smashed 4 flat iron steaks, or skirt or flank steaks, each 8 ounces (250 g) Kosher salt CHILI-GARLIC GLAZED VEGETABLES: 1/4 cup (60 mL) good-quality low-sodium chicken stock or broth 3 tablespoons bottled oyster sauce 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine or pale dry sherry 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon sambal (bottled chili-garlic paste) 2 tablespoons peanut oil 8 fresh shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and quartered 8 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) pieces 2 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch (12 mm) pieces) 4 small heads baby bok choy, trimmed and quartered lengthwise 1/2 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) slices Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish Chopped fresh scallions, for garnish For the Szechuan-marinated steaks, in a large nonreactive bowl combine the soy sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mirin or sake, garlic, shallots, ketchup, lemon juice, sambal, black pepper and ginger, and whisk thoroughly. Transfer to a nonreactive container just large enough to hold the steaks flat, side by side. Add the steaks, and turn them in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours, turning the steaks two or three times. Build a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high. Remove the steaks from the marinade and season on both sides with a little salt and pepper. Grill until medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set aside on a platter, covered with foil, to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. While the steaks are resting, cook the chili-garlic glazed vegetables: In a small mixing bowl, prepare a glaze by stirring together the chicken stock or broth, oyster sauce, rice wine or sherry, sugar, minced garlic and sambal. Set aside. Heat the peanut oil in a wok or a large saute pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms, asparagus, scallions, bok choy and red onion; cook, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are shiny and brightly colored, about 2 minutes. Add the glaze mixture and continue stir-frying over high heat until the vegetables are tender-crisp and evenly coated, 1 to 2 minutes longer. To serve, arrange the vegetables on 4 heated serving plates. Cut each steak crosswise and at a 45-degree angle into thin slices and fan them on top of the vegetables. Garnish with cilantro and scallions, and serve immediately.
