Barnegat Honors Local Volunteers
By Kimberly Bosco BARNEGAT – Mayor Frank Caputo and the members of the Barnegat Township Committee honored local volunteer groups and first responders at a recent committee meeting. Also recognized was Barnegat High School senior James Lynch, who recently earned the highest ranking a scout can achieve. Lynch received his Eagle Scout honor in a ceremony on May
20 at the American Legion Post #232 in Barnegat. The Legion serves as headquarters for Troop 26, of which Lynch is a member. To earn this honor, Lynch has worked hard over the years, earning more than 30 merit badges and contributing to the town through community service. “The Eagle Scout award is the highest level of scouting attainable,” said Caputo, congratulating (Volunteers - See Page 4)

The PSDAR includes the site-specific decommissioning cost estimate, an overview of Exelon Generation’s plans for decommissioning, a schedule, projected costs, and environmental impacts for Oyster Creek. While the public meeting is to gauge the response from the public on the report, the NRC requests that comments that are not provided during the meeting be submitted in writing by September 10, 2018.

How Do You Know If Your Beach Is Clean?
By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – The State Department of Environmental Protection has created a new web site that will inform bathers of potential closures due to high bacteria counts. The DEP’s Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program has created njbeaches.org, an interactive website where people can see the status of their favorite beaches. There’s a map of the state, with little circles where the water is being monitored on the east coast from Monmouth to Cape May counties. The circles are color-coded to denote if the beach is open, closed, or if there’s an advisory. If you zoom in on the map, you can click on the beach and find out what the bacteria count was.

He noted that the troop is active 11 out of 12 months a year, getting out into the community. “In order to get the rank of Eagle you need to take it one step above and beyond that,” said Lynch. His Eagle Scout service project helped him achieve this. Ly n c h pl a n n e d a n d c o n s t r u c t e d nine greenhead traps which are now

During the meeting, the committee also recognized local organizations including the Barnegat Food Pantry, the Barnegat Fire Company, and the Barnegat Volunteer First Aid Squad. “Some of you don’t realize all of the individuals that all combine together to do so many things on a voluntary basis,” said Caputo. “It means they dedicate their time and their energy to all of us.” The Barnegat Food Pantry, located on Route 9, was started in 1996. The food pantry is a 501c nonprofit organization. The committee thanked the volunteers of the pantry with a certificate of appreciation for dedicating their time to membe r s of the community in need. Also recognized were the members of t h e B a rnegat Fire Department. “While some of us may be sleeping, they are keeping us safe,” 24/7, said Caputo. The department, found-

bodies. He said that the presence of a lot of that bacteria indicates that there’s waste in the water. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. The federal standard for this bacteria is 110 colony forming units per 100 ml, Friedman said. However, New Jersey’s tests are a bit more stringent, sending up a yellow flag for 104 units per 100 ml. Tests are done on Monday, and results are back the next day. If it hits 104 or more, then an advisory is issued for that beach. The little circle on the map turns from green to yellow. The beach can still remain open. Any beach that has an advisory from Monday gets tested again on Tuesday, Friedman said. This time, though, instead of just testing the one spot, they test 150 feet in three directions out into the water. If the bacteria count is still more than 104, then the beach is closed. Yellow turns to red. That beach will then be tested every day, going out an additional 150 feet each day. Once the numbers drop below 104, the beach is re-opened.

Continued From Page 1 Although the DEP said that there are 180 ocean and 35 bay monitoring stations along the coast, there are also some more inland. There are several along the Toms River, such as in Ocean Gate, Pine Beach, and Beachwood. There’s one on the Brick side of the Metedeconk River. There are two on the Point Pleasant side of the Manasquan River. There’s one at the L Street beach in Belmar, on the Shark River. The rest are on the ocean or bay from Keansburg to Cape May Point. There is also a field guide of what people might find at the beach, from jellyfish to balls of grease that harden after being poured down drains. The water is being tested for enterocci, bacteria found in human and animal waste. The bacteria, in and of itself, is not harmful, said Bruce Friedman, director of the DEP’s Division of Water Monitoring and Standards. It appears naturally in our own

Generally speaking, bay beaches close more frequently than ocean beaches, he said. Ocean beaches have more tidal flow, which washes out anything harmful. In addition to water tests, there are flights that are taken over the water every day except Wednesday during the beach season. Observers look for debris, algae, or other signs that mark whether the water is healthy or not. There are also sensors on the plane to detect unhealthy conditions. There have been fewer advisories issued so far this year than last year, he said. Stormwater runoff is a major cause of this bacterium. A heavy rainfall will often lead to high bacteria counts. The rain washes waste into the waterways, and then the bacteria flourish. Unfortunately, with the amount of development along the shore, this will always be an issue. Another issue is if there is damage with a municipality’s sewerage infrastructure. And that leads into why the tests are done on Monday, despite most people going to
the beach on the weekend. If a beach gets a green light on Monday, it’s not tested for the rest of the week. A lot could happen in a few days. But the influx of tourists on the weekend taxes a town’s sewerage system, Friedman said. Leaks would cause bacteria to grow, and that would be detected on a Monday. The DEP also promoted these tips for safe swimming: • Swim near a lifeguard. • Never swim alone. • If you are caught in a rip current, remember to swim parallel to the shore. • Avoid sandbars, drop-off areas, or fast currents. • Be aware of your surroundings. • Protect yourself from the sun. The web site does not record dangerous conditions, such as rip tides, that might also close the beach. However, there is a link on rip currents from that site. It also notes that local authorities can also close the beaches at any times at their own discretion.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
President, Others Should Disclose Private Business Transactions with Foreign Entities Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) that would require the President, Vice President and Cabinet Members who review the impact of foreign investment in the United States on our national security, to disclose
every 90 days all private business transactions with foreign entities. Current disclosure requirements for the Cabinet Members who ser ve on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), as well as the President, do not provide for transparency regarding potential conflicts of interest related to transactions under committee review.
“Right now, the American people have no way of knowing whether decisions made by administration officials regarding foreign investment in the U.S. are inf luenced by their own personal business interests or our national security interest,” said Sen. Menendez. “My amendment is about simple transparency. It says to those making decisions about our national security: If your private company is
doing business with foreign entities, disclose it. If you don’t want to disclose it, divest your holdings or put them in a blind trust.” The Secretaries of Treasury, State, Homeland Security, Defense, Commerce and Energy, the Attorney General, U.S. Trade Representative, and the Office of Science & Technology Policy are statutory members of CFIUS. While CFIUS makes a recommendation to
the President on the national security implications of a foreign investment, only the President him/herself can make a determination to block a potentially threatening investment. The amendment is co-sponsored by Senators Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), Ron Wyden (Ore.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.).
Residents Won’t Be Kicked Off Voter Lists Like In Ohio
From The Desk Of Tahesha Way NJ Secretary of State
TRENTON – New Jersey Secretary of State Tahesha Way released the following statement disagreeing with the U.S. Supreme C o u r t ’s 5 - 4 r u l i n g i n Husted v. A. Philip Ran-
dolph Institute, upholding Ohio’s voter registration purge policy: “I f i nd t he Supre me Court ruling in this case troubling. Allowing voters to be removed because
they missed voting in a single election cycle is discriminatory. Regardless of today’s decision, New Jersey will continue the important work of protecting voters’ rights.” The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Ohio’s process for removing individuals from voter rolls in the state is legal, going against voting rights groups who had argued that the state ignored protections for vot-
ers outlined under federal law. The groups argued that the state’s purge process, which could be initiated after a voter missed a single federal election, violated the National Voter Registration Act. At the heart of this case is a 1994 Ohio state law that authorizes the Secretary of State to implement a “supplementary process” to remove voters who go two years without voting
activities (e.g. voting and/ or updating their personal contact information) and sendi ng those voters a notice. If that notice is not returned or the voter does not vote in the subsequent four years, then that voter is automatically struck from the rolls. Independent analysis has found this policy to be especially harmful to at-risk Ohioans, people of color, veterans and students.
Husted v. APRI is one ex a m ple of t he f ig ht s now h app e n i ng a c ross the country against unfair voter purge practices. Irresponsible purges could be a significant threat facing voters in the November m idt e r m ele ct ion s, although this will not be a risk in New Jersey, as it is not one of the states participating in the purging practices at the heart of the Ohio case.

If dirt, dust, or an eyelash gets in your eye, resist the impulse to rub it. Instead, try flushing these tiny particles with a few drops of artificial tears or water (using an eye cup or small glass). Fill the glass with water, and place the lower rim of the glass on the bone at the base of the eye socket. Slowly tip the glass upward, and let the water run over your opened eye. Otherwise, have someone inspect your eye by gently pulling your lower lid downward while you look upward. Then, reverse the procedure for the upper lid. If the foreign object can be located, have it removed with a moistened swab or clean cloth. Another way to flush a foreign object from your eye is to get into the shower and aim a gentle stream of lukewarm water on your forehead over the affected eye while holding your eyelid open. If you’re wearing contact lenses, remove the lens before or while you’re irrigating the surface of the eye with water. Sometimes a foreign body can be embedded on the undersurface of the lens.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Be Wary Of North Korea While not a fan of President Trump I give him credit for opening the door to a more peaceful relationship with North Korea. Perhaps dictators respond best when confronted by strength. However, many in both political parties are concerned too much was given with little in return: the end of war games with ally South Korea, possible withdrawal of our troops (with the sudden excuse of being too costly), as well as immediately declaring North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat despite having not eliminated a single nuclear weapon. Of equal concern is how murderers such as Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin are treated so benignly while longtime allies are insulted and humiliated. We all hope this time North Korea will not repeat its history of broken pledges to denuclearize thus requiring we continue to maintain our security advantage. Past history with tyrants has not always resulted in peace but, if anything, greater danger and threats. Neville C h a mb e rl i n r e t u r ne d from talks with Hitler declaring “peace in our time.” While talking of
peace with imperial Japan, Pearl Harbor was bombed. The allies ceded East Germany to Stalin and for decades we experienced a cold war often dangerously close to a hot one. Nixon was cheered for opening the door to Communist China only to see that nation grow so powerful it has become an economic and diplomatic challenge to America. Clinton had Arafat and Rabin shake hands but the promise of Mideast peace was followed by the birth of terrorists such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Our joyful overthrow of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, replaced by a moderate but weak government, lead to the rise of Islamic Fundamentalists who attacked us on 9/11 and continue as a threat. The recent pact with Iran is denounced by President Trump as the worst ever as it secretly continues to develop its nuclear potential. Not only must we remember that if we fail to learn from history we are doomed to repeat it but President Kennedy warned that “Those who foolishly sought power, by riding the back of the tiger, ended up inside.” Seymour Brotman Manchester

TV News, Weather Skips Us I saw Comcast cable should replace “News 12 NJ” and “The Weather Channel.” We need news and weather channels covering midsouth Jersey, that being between Toms River and Atlantic City. “News 12 NJ” doesn’t know that towns, roads, and people exist here. We rarely get any coverage of anything in our area. “The Weather Channel” ignores the northeast and the “Local weather on the eights” is rarely seen on any time, especially on the weekends! Texas, California, Hawaii, southern states and those west of the Mississippi River is all they know, except of course, “Ice Road Truckers,” “Highway Through Hell,” “Think You Can Survive,” and the like. We only get coverage here when a hurricane or extremely bad storm is off our coast. I say we need previous channel 101 for local weather and a South Jersey, maybe Atlantic County, news channel!

Lacey Students Received Good Gun Training Eytan Weber wrote a letter to you which you published in the June 9 edition of the Souther n Ocean Times. The safety class that was described sounded pretty good to me, handing a pistol to a young student can take away the curiosity that often leads to a bad incident. The safety officer was obviously trying to overcome the fear that we all experience when we pick up a firearm for the first time. Teaching students how a firearm works is necessary if one wants to safely check that a gun is not loaded. The statistics on gunshot deaths are skewed. The idea that he can collect guns
Letters To from everyone he can talk The expansion andEditor exiting lanes. but a few said they wished to is a bad idea. We cannot get guns out of the hands of the bad guys by a voluntary collection. With due respect to the Rutgers School of Nursing, I am sure that the gun safety class covered proper gun storage; it is such an important subject. The fact that students may handle guns when no adults are present cries out for teaching everyone that guns are not toys and must be handled carefully and safely. Weber is uninfor med and misguided. He cannot eliminate all guns and his blindfolded approach to keeping kids safe from guns is dangerous, ignorant, wrong, and useless. A poor approach when “children’s lives are on the line.” Thank you for your attention on this controversial and important subject. Anthony Finn Lacey
Parkway Reconstruction Still Impacting Locals It has been over five and a half years since the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) began the destruction of the area of the Garden State Parkway between mile post 95 and 89. This negatively impacted the lives of thousands of Brick, Howell and Lakewood residents. With the destruction and creation of many of the exits they lined the pockets of lobbyists, power brokers and some politicos. The new exiting ramps and the roadway expansion of the Garden State Parkway is a financial windfall for the insiders and bureaucrats that run those Big Government Bureaucracies like the NJTA. The NJTA has said they did not expand the Parkway and move the roadway closer to the homes in Evergreen Woods but this is semantics used in a manner that distorts the true meaning of roadway
A lane that begins north of the southbound mile marker 103.0 ends in its last half mile as a lane that exits into the Exit 91 toll booths cannot truly be called an exiting ramp by any normal, honest definition. If they were being honest they would have done the “RIGHT” thing five years ago. What is needed on the Garden State Parkway adjacent to Evergreen Woods, Primrose Gardens, Greenbriar, Birchwood Park, Sutton Village and other places in Brick Township is increased forestation as well as a 14foot pollution, safety and noise wall to curtail some of the damage caused by the illegal actions of the commissioners of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. Over the past years, it has been brought to the attention of the NJTA, the statehouse, the county government and the Township Council here in Brick that the illegal actions of the NJTA on the Garden State Parkway have caused harm to the residents. Many studies brought before the council and the NJTA have shown how the toxins associated with the Garden State Parkway traffic have caused a variety of health ailments, but nothing moves the powerful greed-driven commissioners, directors and lobbyists of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. The one benefit I have received over the last 65 months, speaking before the council, is that I have met many people who I did not know before and people I have may not have spoken to in many years. These new and former associations have been created by the inaction of the NJTA because over that period hundreds of people have stopped to talk to me about the problems they have had since the NJTA committed to this project without concern for our citizens. Many have stated that they could never stand up before the council and speak up against the government inaction. All
me well and can’t believe I have the stamina to continually show the council the problems associated with the destruction. Even today, I again was stopped by two people and told they watch me on TV and said they are happy I go before the council because they would have given up a long time ago. I told them, that is what governments and bureaucracies do. They drag things out, they ignore problems and they hope you go away. It is a well-used technique that works more of ten than not and when it doesn’t completely work then the governments and bureaucracies appease in part. The NJTA tried that a few years ago with a small group of trees planted in Evergreen Woods but that hardly helped the residents of EverGreen Woods and did nothing for the thousands of other residents. Often people say that the people in government will never stand up and fight with you because they will say they are volunteers (despite having health benefits or other compensation). In reality, some of this is true. Remember the first council that existed during the initial destruction? They said if the NJTA didn’t do the “right thing” they would stand here with the people and once they were out of office, they disappeared. I always mention that our local government tries to help. I usually get the feedback that they would rather talk about getting a meal in some restaurant, or attend a play, or march in a parade than they would stand up and speak out, as well as take legal action against the Big Business - Big Government Cartel. A wall and increased forestation is the minimum that is needed but the thousands of impacted citizens can’t do it while the more influential just sit back and smile. John Sluka Brick

Brick Proposes Two Plans For New VA Clinic
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Not all veterans are retirees, but there are a large number of military veterans and their families living in the township’s 13 adult communities who use the services of the Veteran Administration’s James J. Howard Outpatient Clinic, which has been at located at 970 Route 70 for 25 years. The need has outgrown the facility’s ability to accommodate all the Ocean County veterans who use their services, so the Veterans Administration is looking to lease a site that could accommodate an 80,000 square-foot building with at least 480 parking spaces, said Mayor John G. Ducey during the most recent council meeting. The governing body passed a resolution in support of keeping the new outpatient clinic in Brick when it is rebuilt, and Ducey said that the township has two “perfect” locations for it. The first is behind the Lowe’s Home Improvement store on Cedar Bridge Avenue, which is near the Garden State Parkway with entrances north and south. It’s close to Brick Hospital, and it’s outside the flood zone, he said. “There’s a number of different requirements and it meets pretty much all of them,” he said. “There’s enough land for the 80,000 square-foot facility, as well as the parking, and it’s zoned properly.” The second site is a stone’s throw from Brick Hospital, and is already in a Hos-
pital Support Zone. A wooded triangle of property located between Burrsville Road, Jack Martin Blvd. and Route 88 would be perfect, Ducey said, because the new clinic would fit on the site, it’s close to the Garden State Parkway, and is on Route 88 - a major road, and close to Route 70. “It’s a quarter mile from our hospital,” he said. “The VA clinic sometimes has more emergent needs to be met, and the patients have to be brought to a full-standing hospital, and it’s right there.” Other uses have been proposed for the wooded triangle, including “Ocean Point,” a hotel, apartment and retail complex, which hit a bureaucratic snag at a Planning Board meeting when the objecting attorney filed a complaint to the county court that the application was before the wrong board. It was determined that the application should be heard by the township Zoning Board, which is scheduled for June 20. The original application has changed, said Assistant Township Planner Tara Paxton after the council meeting. “The hotel is no longer proposed,” Paxton said in an email. “They are now proposing office, commercial and apartments above the office and commercial,” and the development would be called “Bay Point.” Ducey said that the owner of the wooded triangular lot has submitted a letter of interest to the federal government to lease
–Photo by Judy Smestad-Nunn The James J. Howard Outpatient Clinic has been criticized for being too small for current needs. the land to the VA for the new outpatient clinic, which means Bay Point would not be built at that location if the Veterans Administration chooses it. “Both of these properties were submitted to the federal government before the May 18 deadline, so this resolution is going off to Senator (Cory) Booker, Senator (Robert) Menendez, (Congressman Tom) MacArthur, Congressman (Chris) Smith
and Congressman (Frank) LoBiondo to keep the VA clinic here in Brick, where we definitely need it,” Ducey said. He said the VA is also considering Toms River and Wall as possible sites for the new outpatient clinic. The current 34,000 square-foot facility provides services such as radiology, dental, mental health, audiology, a pharmacy and more.

5 Signs It’s Time To Upgrade Your Technology
Often it’s obvious when it’s time to replace something — your smartphone’s screen is cracked, your vacuum smells weird. But how do you know when to upgrade your hearing devices? Here are five surefire signs you’re due for some fresh tech. Not Working Right: You do all the recommended maintenance, but things just don’t seem right. You replace the batteries, they drain quickly; you change the wax guards, it still sounds weak and muffled. The occasional repair is one thing, but regular malfunction or repair means it might be time to replace the devices. Costly Repairs: If your devices are older, getting them repaired could be costly because the parts are scarce or your model is discontinued. Sometimes fixing your devices costs so much that it makes more sense to replace them. Change in Hearing: Despite helping your hearing loss with technology, your hearing might continue to change over time — due to age, loud sounds, or other health issues. Often we can adjust the settings on your devices to accommodate
those hearing changes, but sometimes the changes are enough that a different level of technology is required. Change in Lifestyle: We decide with you which technology is best for you based on your hearing lifestyle, but when your lifestyle changes, your technology should as well. Did you take up a sport? You’ll probably be sweating, so you’ll need something moisture resistant, plus an accessory to dehumidify your devices. Did you switch from an office job to something outdoors? You’re likely exposed to a different level of noise now. Change in Technology: New models with new features are introduced into the market all the time. You might not even realize just how far tech has advanced — better filtering of background noise, more pinpoint fi ne-tuning capabilities, even streaming sound from your smartphone to your hearing aids. High-tech hearing is an upgrade away. Think it might be time for an upgrade? Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation and tech demo! 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!

6 Quick Ways To Relieve Itchy Red Eyes By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
My eyes are driving me crazy and I thought I’d share what I know with you in case you are feeling the same way right about now. For me, it’s a triple hit from the smoke generated by fi res nearby in Colorado, the ragweed pollen and some drywall dust kicked up when I demo’d a fi replace in my new home. Here’s a sample of what I’ve been doing to tame the red so that people stop asking if I was up all night drinking, lol, which I was not I assure you! I can’t list everything here due to space considerations, so if you’d like the complete list of my home remedies, sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you on Tuesday. 1. Dry up. Take an oral antihistamine such as Loratadine (Claritin). I am taking about a half tablet daily with a natural supplement which I’ll tell you about in my longer article at my website. Now that you’ve got your antihistamine on board, proceed to step 2. 2. Wash your eyes. Irrigate your eye with saline and a sterile eye cup. Your local pharmacy, department store or online e-tailer has Bausch & Lomb’s brand of “eye wash” or “irrigating eye wash” or a similar brand of saline that comes with an eye cup. You do not want contact lens cleaner, you want to basically rinse your eye out. It’s similar to opening your eye underwater in a pool, you just have to do it.
3. Apply a cold compress. Take a clean washcloth, dip it in ice water and wring out, then apply. I like to take them and fold the washcloth in half, then roll it up tightly. The ends of the washcloth will now ‘fit’ into your eye socket, and it is such sweet relief! Be intelligent and apply sparingly, you just want to cool your eye for a few seconds, don’t hurt yourself. 4. Get the red out. You can choose what you like, or can afford. I use various ones including Zaditor because this lasts 12 hours, and contains a histamine blocker only (Ketotifen), whereas most eye drops contain an antihistamine as well as a vasoconstrictor. If you’re looking for that type of combination, try Opcon or Visine, or their store-brand generic equivalents which will save you money. 5. Lie down and breathe. Buy an eye pillow, preferably unscented and put it in the freezer for 15 minutes. You can always store yours in there, that’s what I do. Put it on your eyes and just breathe. Mmm. 6. Look like a diva. Cucumber slices on the eyelids… you see this all the time in spa pictures and the reason is that cucumbers reduce eye inf lammation and they’ll temporarily hide the fact that you pulled an all-nighter last night, played with your neighbor’s cat or went horseback riding through ragweed. You can apply them topically, or better yet, juice cucumbers along with some carrots and celery and drink it.

Bathroom Manners Down The Drain
Dear Joel, Why are men so irritating in the bathroom! My husband always leaves his whiskers in the sink, never puts the seat down, and throws wet towels on the floor. It drives me mad! He also swears he doesn’t drink out of cartons in the refrigerator, but I catch him all the time. And he puts empty bottles back, like I’m supposed to consider them a prize when I fi nd them. These little things get me upset all day. Can you ask the men to stop doing things like that. Answer I think you did a pretty good job yourself. I don’t know why some men behave that way, but I learned a long time ago that there is truth in the phrase ‘Happy Wife, Happy Life’. To the fellow
gents out there I suggest you get a glass, pick up the towels, and put the seat down. And wives, husbands respond to positive reinforcement. Instead of yelling, make him follow you in the bathroom and watch you clean up after him. When he does it himself, tell him he’s wonderful and that you appreciate his courtesy, then get two glasses and have a lemonade together. It may take some work, but you may get him to change after all. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Men eschew annual checkups and preventative services, making them more likely to die from nine of the 10 top causes of death than women. Men need to take care of their health, for their families and for themselves. That’s the message the county is touting in June for Men’s Health Month. “Men must focus on preventative measures such as regular doctor checkups and screenings to avoid adding to the grim statistics concerning mortality,” Freeholder Director Gerry Little said. He’s the board of health liaison. “We must also bring awareness to potential mental health issues, such as depression, to reduce another alarming statistic which suggests men are four times more likely than women to commit suicide. We have a responsibility to bring awareness to men’s health and, as we celebrate Father’s Day in the second week of June, we should be mindful of the tremendous benefits of prevention. Men have higher mortality rates for diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes,
according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Also of significance is the statistic showing that almost four times as many men than women are suicide casualties,” Ocean County Health Department public health coordinator Daniel E. Regenye said. “Clearly there is more to be done with prevention efforts and recognition of Men’s Health Month is appropriate and necessary as the public health community seeks to address the disparate levels of disease and mortality among our population.” The Ocean County Health Department’s new web page has information to assist residents, Brian E. Rumpf, director of administration and program development for the Ocean County Health Department, said. The website lists screenings for blood pressure, stroke risk and osteoporosis, as well as diabetes education, hepatitis C for baby boomers, medication management and other health education such as tobacco cessation, sun safety and education on testicular and breast cancer prevention. Visit the health department’s website at ochd.org.

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

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County’s Household Hazardous Waste Collection program has been extended with four new dates, according to Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little. The summer collection dates are: • 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., July 14, Lacey Township Recycling Center, 820 Municipal Lane • 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Aug. 11, Brick Township Public Works Yard, 836 Ridge Road • 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sept. 8, Ship Bottom Municipal Boat Ramp, West 10th Street and Shore Avenue • 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sept. 29, Point Pleasant Municipal Building, 2233 Bridge Avenue. These four dates will be serviced by Radiac Environmental Services at a cost of 49 cents a pound. Little, who also serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management, said that the first three collection dates this year collected 133,881 pounds of household hazardous waste. “This free program, which got started in 1989, provides an avenue to get rid of items like paints, paint thinner, and cleaners, properly and safely, keeping the material from entering our waterways and our preserved lands,” Little said. “The Department of Solid Waste Management has done a great job in implementing this program for almost three decades.” Materials accepted at program sites include: paints, thinners, boat paints, solvents, pool
chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, aerosol cans, auto products, toilet and drain cleaners, silver polishes, oven cleaners, photographic chemicals, rug and upholstery cleaners, polishes and bleaches, waste oil and used gasoline. You can also drop off certain hazardous waste materials at municipal recycling centers and the county’s recycling centers year-round. “Our residents should check with the County or their local recycling center to determine what is accepted year-round eliminating the need to store potentially hazardous items in their home,” Little said. Residents can attend any waste collection site at any location. The max is 200 pounds of dry material and 20 gallons of liquid at the County’s household hazardous waste collection sites. No containers over five gallons will be accepted. To register: • Lacey Township, call 732-506-5047 • Brick Township and Point Pleasant sites, call 732-367-0802 • Ship Bottom, call 609-978-0913. Registration is required and is done on a first come first served basis. For more information on the program, visit co.ocean.nj.us/recycle. “We encourage our residents to use this free program to make certain chemicals, cleaners, solvents and other items we use around the house are disposed of properly,” Little said. “We take great pride in our environment in Ocean County. This program helps reduce the potential for environmental damage.”
Route 72 Bridge Emergency Construction Completed Ahead Of Schedule
MANAHAWKIN – New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) officials recently announced that the emergency construction requiring temporary single lane closures in both directions on Route 72 was completed one week ahead of schedule. The lane closures were necessary to stabilize slopes near the West Thorofare Bridge for the Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Bridges project in Ocean County. NJDOT’s contractor, Schiavone Construction began emergency work on Monday, June 4, and was scheduled to close lanes on Route 72 for approximately three weeks, Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Last week a single lane was closed eastbound, Monday through Thursday and this week a single lane was closed westbound Monday through Thursday. The work was necessary to install steel sheeting to stabilize the slopes around the west abutment to the West Thorofare Bridge between Cedar Bonnet Island and Bonnet Island in Stafford. Although some remaining sheeting work is required, it can be performed off the roadway and will have no impact on traffic. The work required the driving of steel sheet piles, which was extremely loud and would be very disruptive at night. As part of NJDOT’s Commitment to Communities, the Department worked closely with local
officials to establish a schedule that allowed the work to get done in the shortest amount of time and in a way that minimized the impact to traffic and to residents. Work on the $312 million Route 72/Manahawkin Bay Bridge project began in 2013 and is expected to continue through 2021. The 3-mile long causeway links Stafford on the mainland with Ship Bottom on Long Beach Island. As part of the project, a new bridge has been constructed parallel to the existing one over Manahawkin Bay, providing the safety of a redundant route on or off the island. The new bridge is 2,400 feet long with a vertical clearance of 55 feet over Manahawkin Bay. It currently has two lanes in each direction while the original Causeway Bridge is being rehabilitated. Ultimately, it will function as the bridge for eastbound traffic once the project is completed, with the rehabilitated original bridge carrying westbound traffic. For more information NJDOT developed a project-specific website. The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT’s traffic information website 511nj.org for construction updates and real-time travel information and for NJDOT news follow us on Twitter @NJDOT_info.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Tick Awareness Month: Tick Safety
OCEAN COUNTY – Ticks do not jump or fly. They tend to lie-in-waiting on a blade of grass or leaf for a host to walk past. Ticks have sensor organs on their forelegs to sense vibration and carbon dioxide from a host. Once on you, they crawl quickly to find the prime spot to feed. Many people find them attached behind their knees, belt or groin area, under arms, and hairline. It is important to take extra precautions in the summer when ticks that transmit diseases are most active. When working or playing outdoors, be sure to cover up; wear long, solid and light colored clothes with pants tucked into socks. This makes ticks easier to spot before they attach. While the pants tucked into socks may not be a fashion statement, the ticks won’t have easy access to your legs. Apply an EPA registered tick repellant containing DEET, picardin or oil of lemon eucalyptus on exposed skin according to the instructions on the product label. Products containing permethrin should only be used on clothing and outdoor gear. Outdoor/ sporting goods stores sell permethrin treated clothing. Perform tick checks on yourself and children after outdoor activities. Many residents call or come in to Rutgers Cooperative Extension asking for information on products with which to spray their yards. Since pesticides don’t just target ticks, addressing tick habitats needs to be considered. Ticks love moist, humid areas with low shrubs and tall grass or weeds. They lay their eggs in accumulated leaf litter. Leaf litter is also great nesting areas for the small mammals on which ticks feed and travel. Keeping yards maintained and leaf-litter free, keeping to the center of walking trails and playing fields will help keep ticks from finding you and climbing aboard. Excluding deer from your property will also help
reduce tick populations. Where properties border woods, a three-foot or larger border or buffer zone of mulch, gravel or no vegetation will help keep ticks out of your yard. Should you still feel the need to spray, use products containing active ingredients like permethrin, carybaryl, bifenthrin, or cyfluthrin to treat the perimeter of your yard. Please read and follow all label instructions and safety precautions. If you find a tick, do not panic. Remove the tick. Use a tick removal key or a fine-tipped tweezer to grasp tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. Apply steady backward/ upward force until the tick is dislodged. DO NOT USE alcohol, nail polish, burning matches, petroleum jelly or any other methods to remove ticks, as this may cause tick to regulate. Place the tick in a sealed bag/container with a small piece of damp paper towel and refrigerate it. Free tick identification is available at Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County, 1623 Whitesville Road, Toms River. Staff and Rutgers Master Gardeners are here Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. to identify ticks and answer other horticultural issues. Once we identify the tick, we will discuss with you information about that tick species, potential diseases it can carry, and symptoms for which to watch. As we are not medical personnel, you should seek medical advice on a course of action. Neither the RCE nor the Ocean County Health Department test ticks for disease. We have a list of labs you can send the tick to be tested. However, testing will only show if that tick was carrying disease, not that transmission occurred. For more information about our services, please call 732-349-1246 or visit our website at ocean.njaes.rutgers.edu/.

By Kimberly Bosco OCEANPORT – Governor Murphy made history on the morning of June 14 as he placed the fi rst two legal sports bets in the history of the state of New Jersey at Monmouth Park Racetrack. Murphy’s bets solidified a recent assembly bill that will now allow for legalized sports betting in New Jersey. The legislation, Assembly Bill 4111, “allows wagering at New Jersey casinos and racetracks for certain professional and collegiate sports or athletic events.” This means that casinos or racetracks, with a sports wagering license, are now allowed to accept wagers on the premises or even operate an online sports pool. Behind Delaware, New Jersey is now the second state in the US to allow wagers on sporting events. “For the past seven years our heads and hearts were in alignment as we fought to overturn an unlawful and unfair federal law,” stated Gov. Murphy at Monmouth Park. “We knew in our heads that we were right, and we knew in our hearts that we’d win, and we have.” Murphy remarked that his two bets would be $20 on Germany to win the World Cup and $20 on the New Jersey Devils to win Lord Stanley’s Cup.
“It’s a historic day for Monmouth Park and for the state of New Jersey,” said Dennis Drazin, chairman and CEO of Darby Development LLC, operators of Monmouth Park. “We’ve been fighting this fight for more than six years in the courts and now that this day has arrived, and judging by the response from the fans who turned out for this, it’s exciting. Clearly, it’s something the people of New Jersey have been waiting for.” Murphy signed the bill into law on June 11. In a press release, he stated: “I’m thrilled to sign Assembly Bill 4111 because it means that our casinos in Atlantic City and our racetracks throughout our state can attract new business and new fans, boosting their own long-term fi nancial prospects. This is the right move for New Jersey and it will strengthen our economy.” The legislation stipulates that those placing wagers must be at least 21 years of age and wagers cannot be placed on high school or collegiate sporting events. Also, athletes, coaches, referees, and other persons with potential influence or access to non-public information regarding sporting events, are prohibited from placing bets on sporting events overseen by the league in which they participate.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 23 - JUne 29 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take the fast track to success. Emulate someone with better connections or greater experience who is also a mover or a shaker. Use all the tricks of the trade to shave a few pennies off your bills in the upcoming week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Remain down to earth. As much as you would like to follow the tugs on your heart strings, your talents are better suited to practical matters. Learning something new may be difficult but not impossible this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may realize that someone’s friendly overtures don’t contain any flirtatious intentions as this week unfolds. That will be a good thing because it leaves you free to make new discoveries and develop ingenious ideas. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Duty might weigh you down like a ball and chain. You may question whether a partner or key connection is someone you are willing to drag around. Focus on people’s abilities rather than their shortcomings this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your friendly overtures will not be ignored. What starts out as a business relationship could end up as a great and lasting friendship. This might be a good week to join an organization or club that stimulates your imagination. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Lighten your load by embracing enlightenment. Your daily routines may be upset by unpredictable twists and turns in the week to come. At the same time, you may be enthused by useful new ideas and the latest gadgets.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Add some steel to your repertoire. Put your fun-loving, people pleasing ways to one side and focus on achieving your ambitions in the week ahead. Hold off on shopping trips for new wardrobe items and home decor. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make a conscious effort to err on the side of generosity. Loved ones may not be as warm and loving as usual. This is a good week to focus on being an active member of a group where work, job, or career is concerned. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you’ve got it, flaunt it. Others may be drawn to your physical magnetism or dazzled by your appearance of popularity. In the week ahead, you could excel at social networking and shine brightest in group settings. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The traditional approach is likely to meet with success during the upcoming week. You will find that being tactful will pay dividends. Make key decisions and needed changes as early in the week as possible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will be forced to realize that to achieve your ambitions you may need to be quite patient. If you work very hard in the week to come you will avoid some of the more obvious potential pitfalls that appear later. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be more sensible. Your past personal indulgences and passing whims may force you to sacrifice some of this week’s pleasures. Concentrate on what matters most to you and the minor inconveniences will fade away.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Bake A Batch Of Cookies That The Whole Family Will Enjoy By Wolfgang Puck CHOCOLAT E PEA N U T BU TT ER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES Makes about 3 1/2 dozen 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose unbleached flour 1/3 cup (85 mL) plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 8 ou nces (250 g) u nsalted but ter, at room temperature, cut into small pieces 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 1/2 cup (125 mL) packed dark brown sugar 1/2 cup (125 mL) creamy or chunky peanut butter 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 ounces (60 g) bittersweet chocolate, fi nely chopped and melted in a bowl over but not touching hot water 1 cup (250 mL) toasted peanuts, walnuts, pecans, or macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped 1 cup (250 mL) semisweet chocolate chips In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In the large bowl of an electric mixer using the paddle or beaters, beat the butter at medium speed. Add the granulated and brown sugars, and continue beating until incorporated; then, increase the
speed to high and continue beating until fluffy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl and under the beaters as necessary with a rubber spatula. Add the peanut butter, and beat well. Reduce the speed to medium again and, one at a time, beat in the eggs, then the vanilla, and fi nally the melted chocolate, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until well mixed. Reduce the speed to low, and gradually pour in the flour mixture, beating just until combined. Add the nuts and chocolate chips, and beat again just until combined. Scrape the dough out of the bowl onto a sheet of plastic wrap, folding the wrap around the dough to enclose it completely. Refrigerate until fi rm, at least 2 to 3 hours or, even better, overnight. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Line one or two baking trays with parchment paper. With clean hands, pinch off individual balls of dough measuring about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, placing them on the parchment-lined baking trays about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake on the center rack until the cookies feel almost but not quite fi rm to a quick touch, 14 to 15 minutes total baking time, rotating the trays back to front about halfway through. Carefully remove the tray from the oven and, with a wide metal spatula, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. Store in airtight containers at a cool room temperature.
