Defense Bill, Saving Joint Base, Signed Into Law
Abandoned Houses Being Demolished
Community News! Pages 9-13.

By Chris Lundy FORT DRUM, JEFFERSON, NY – President Donald Trump signed into law a $716 billion defense bill which removed the Base Realignment and Closure provisions for the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Local congressmen supported the bill for what it would mean for the Joint Base. According to press releases sent by Tom MacArthur (R-3rd) and Chris Smith (R-10th) after they sent the budget to the president’s desk, the act leaves out Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), the federal process to realign and/or close military bases. It would also authorize $10.2 million for Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to replace the Hot Cargo Hydrant System, for aircraft that require hazardous cargo parking, according to Smith. The project is needed in

Turning To Faith In Times Of Need
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Eight churches and six parachurch/nonprofit organizations will gather at Huddy Park for “City on Our Knees,” a three-day free event Aug. 24-26. The event is being sponsored by Haven/Beat the Streets Inc., Absecon. This nonprofit assists people in need, be they homeless or impoverished. They help with rental and utility assistance, transportation, emergency shelter, food, and information on referral services. “The event is for anybody and
everybody that’s interested in what the Christian community is doing in Ocean County, what churches are doing, and want to learn how to get plugged into a church,” Paul Hulse of Haven said. “It’s about getting people to come back to the church. A lot of people in the county, the church culture, people have a lot of barriers to it. We want them to know that going to church, believing in Jesus, isn’t so bad.” Opening ceremonies are 3-8 p.m. Aug. 24, and will be led by Pastor Walter Healy of the Church of Grace and Peace in

Toms River. “The vast majority of Americans believe in the Christian God. It is true that many don’t attend church but they still believe in God. They’ve grown weary of the visible church but they still believe in prayer and the God who answers prayer,” Healy said. “We invite all believers to participate because we all need to see God intervene in the ills of our society and create a healthier territory.” From noon to 5 p.m. Aug. 25, “live testimonies” will be held.

By Chris Christopher Tymere Berry, the former Toms River High School South standout now starring for the Monmouth University football team, has earned a berth on the All-Big South Conference first team as a defensive back. Berry, a redshirt junior and a two-year starter at cornerback, was a second team all-conference selection last season after leading the Big South in passes defended with 16 passes defended, including 14 breakups, for the Hawks. He ranked fifth in the NCAA in passes defended and posted 43 total tackles, including 33 solo stops. He played in 11 games, picked off two

“It means a lot to be recognized by my peers and the other coaches,” Berry said on the Hawks’ Facebook page at the event. Grasso was second on the Hawks in reception last year with 29 for 315 yards. He blazed 66 yards with a punt return for a touchdown. He rushed for 79 yards and one touchdown on three carries. He returned two kickoffs for 23 yards. He appeared in 12 games. Castronuova hauled in six passes for 34 yards in 2017 and returned five kickoffs for 98 yards. He returned one punt for four yards. He plated in 12 games. Kakar made six tackles, including three solos, in 10 games. The Hawks were selected to finish second in the 2018 Big South Preseason Poll, their highest predicted finish since joining the league in 2014. Monmouth, which finished second a season ago in the conference at 4-1, earned 82 total points and one first place vote. Defending Big South champion Kennesaw State received 17 of a possible 18 first place votes and garnered 107 points. The poll’s voters were the league’s head coaches and a media panel. The Hawks return 16 starters, including 10 on offense, from last year’s NCAA Playoff team, which was 9-3 overall. Kevin Callahan, who is in his 26th season as the lone head coach in program history, ranks 10th among active NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision coaches with 144 wins - all at the West Long Branch school. “Our mentality is that we have to be better than we were last season,” Berry said. “We want to get over that hump.” Berry hopes to fill the void created by the loss of standout defensive back Mike Basile (Brick Memorial) and others to graduation. Berry said taking on the team’s high-powered offense in practice will improve his play. “Going against our offensive players will make me better,” he said. “When it is game time, they will make me better. We have a lot of young guys taking a lot of reps (repetitions) in the defensive backfield. They are stepping up and trying to fill the void that we lost.” Berry said he enjoys playing for the Hawks. “From the improved facilities to the players to what we do to get ready for the season the (College - See Page 22)

The nondenominational event seeks to bring people together to bring healing to a region known as ground zero in the opioid epidemic in New Jersey. “Obviously, prayer events are for believers in God. The scripture points out that the ills in a territory will get ‘healed’ contingent on the people of God seeking Him with all their heart. ‘2 Chronicles 7:14 (ESV) if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land,’” Healy said. “Also, although there are many assemblies within any given town or city in America, the Biblical view is that there is only one church. As church refers to people and not to a building, those many assemblies sometimes need to come together in the unity of the spirit. This occasion of City on Our Knees is such a time.” Huddy Park is located at 38 Water St. For more information, visit havenstreets.org.
Continued From Page 1 Township Council meetings from time to time. Neighbors and government officials feel they are an eyesore. Worse, they are a health issue. Derelict homes breed rats and other pests, and standing water on the property breeds mosquitoes. They also tend to attract young people looking for a hidden place to drink or do drugs. So, there could be teenagers hanging out inside a house that is structurally unsound and could come down at any moment. Some of the homes were destroyed by Superstorm Sandy. The owners walked away from the property. Others were abandoned for other reasons. Berkeley has already taken some of them down. Others are in the process. There are another half dozen properties that will be on the list in the next four months or so. The list of properties being destroyed is

By creating an atmosphere where we can pray for individuals, recognize public officials, and let the community know we’re here to help in times of crisis and times of need,” Gifford said. “We’re here to support Paul and the ongoing efforts that he’s making in our community with being a light to those that are less fortunate,” Gifford said. “We support him monthly. We partner with him.”

Important News For Berkeley Taxpayers From The Desk Of
The Mayor - By Berkeley Mayor
Carmen F. Amato, Jr. BERKELEY – Recently, your final third and fourth quarter property tax bill for 2018 and your first and second quarter estimated property tax bill for 2019 were mailed. We apologize for the delay in mailing your property tax bill. The State of New Jersey was delayed in providing us with our state aid numbers. Because of this delay, you will have until Sept. 10 to pay your third quarter taxes without interest or penalties. I want to take this opportunity to report some good news that you may or may not be aware. A recent analysis that was conducted by nj.com and The Newark Star Ledger, Berkeley Township
now has the 27th lowest OVERALL property taxes in the entire STATE of NEW JERSEY and 2nd lowest OVERALL property taxes in all of OCEAN COUNTY. I want thank the members of Township Council who have worked with me to keep costs down. The State of New Jersey has 565 communities and we are the 27th lowest! The average Berkeley Township homeowner pays less than half of the statewide average property tax bill. That is a significant accomplishment we all can be proud of. I’m also pleased to report that Standard & Poor’s rating service has increased Berkeley’s bond rating from an “A+” to “AA-”. The in-
crease in rating affirms our stable financial outlook and is based on the township’s strong budgetary performance, flexibility and very strong liquidity. Once again, we are extremely pleased that S&P has recognized the extreme effort we have made to be financially responsive to our taxpayers despite these difficult economic times. This is the second time in three years that S&P has increased Berkeley’s Bond Rating. In 2015, Berkeley moved up two notches from “A-” to “A+” and now moves up another notch to “AA-”. Considering what we’ve endured in the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy and the resulting loss of ratables and downturn in the local economy, I am really proud of what we’ve done to keep Berkeley Township an affordable place to live for our families and seniors. The stable budget that was recently adopted by the Township Council, main-
tains the same level of services that residents have received in past years. Public safety, quality of life, fiscal responsibility and integrity are my top priorities. Together, over the past six years, we have worked to address the financial challenges we inherited from Super Storm Sandy, while continuing to make improvements that are vital to the future of Berkeley’s families and neighborhoods. The municipal portion of your tax bill is approximately 30 percent of your total tax bill. This is the ONLY portion of your tax bill under the direct control of the mayor and council. The remaining 70 percent of your bill which includes open space, the county and school taxes, WE HAVE NO CONTROL over. As we continue in 2018, our emphasis remains on long range financial stability, continued public infrastructure improvements and our commitment to providing the
important services that our residents have come to expect. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call my office at 732-244-7400 ext. 1203 or contact me by email: mayor@twp.berkeley.nj.us. Sounds of Summer Concert Series Continues The 2018 Sounds of Summer Concert Series has been outstanding this summer. Our great lineup continues on Wednesday, Aug. 22 at 6 p.m. at Veterans Park. The entertainment for the evening will feature long-time Jersey shore talent, Rock N’ Rhythm – “a five-part vocal group with a tight harmonious sound of both traditional doo-wop and contemporary styles,” followed by Radio Nashville, covering the best modern country music from the north of Nashville. Please come on out for a great evening of entertainment. Don’t forget to bring a chair. Refreshments
are always provided by our area non-profit groups and organizations that use these concerts as fundraisers for their group. We hope to see you at the show! Mayor’s School Supply Drive is Underway My annual School Supply Drive is also underway. We are collecting: backpacks, pens, pencils, notebooks, markers, crayons, safety scissors, glue sticks - etc. All school supplies collected go directly to the Berkeley Township School District to benefit Berkeley Township students. Thank you to those who have supported the drive the last six years. Sadly, the need is still great. School supplies can be dropped off at the mayor’s office at Town Hall, the Recreation Department on Route 9, the 23rd Avenue lifeguard booth in South Seaside Park and are always collected at our recreation booth at each summer concert.
Restoration Of Homestead Benefit Program Funding Is A Small Victory In State Budget Process CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
TR ENTON – Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Ru mpf a nd A sse mblywoman DiAnne C. Gove (all R-9th) want concerned constituents to know that proposed cuts to the Homestead Benefit Program were avoided in the adopted Fiscal Year 2019 State Budget. In April, the 9th District Delegation alerted constituents that Governor Murphy had proposed cutting Homestead rebates in half, and pledged their commitment to reject funding cuts
to the vital property tax relief program. “In what was an otherwise irresponsible and bloated state budget, the proposed $154 million cut to the Homestead Benefit program ultimately never happened, with the funding fully restored in the final approved budget. Certainly, the program has been and remains underfunded, but at least devastating funding cuts that would have proven very financially difficult for affected homeowners were success-
fully defeated. “The Murphy-proposed Homestead Benefit cuts proved to be an issue that both Republicans and Democrats in the State Legislature joined in opposition to in a bipartisan effort. Evidently, property tax relief didn’t rank among the Governor’s funding priorities, such as providing $2.1 million in taxpayer dollars to cover the legal costs for illegal aliens who are facing deportation. “Evidently, Homestead rebates have been a prime target in budget deliberations, despite how critical it is for property tax relief. Under an agreement reached for last year’s state budget, former Governor Christie agreed to delay payments of the Homestead Benefit program, resulting in eli-
gible recipients receiving roughly half the amounts of their rebates in the beginning of this year. “Recognizing it as nothing other than a budget scheme, our Delegation opposed and voted against delaying
the homestead payment. We did so with the understanding that a significant number of our constituents rely on property tax relief programs to remain in their homes and would be hit hard financially.
“New Jersey is becoming increasingly unaffordable for too many residents. Tax relief should be prioritized – not put on the chopping block as a first move or final concession in state budget deliberations.”

Let’s “Drain Letters To The Editor
Not Enough Water For All This Development During the last part of Gov. Christie’s administration, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection released their “Water Management Act” of 2017. This program was last published in 1996 and was supposed to be done every 5 years. Now we are 22 years behind, and much has changed in this state since 1996. With ever-growing development planned and executed since then, our water forecast looks grim. With ever more construction planned in Ocean County alone, i.e. from Manchester (at the Heritage Minerals site) to Forked River in Lacey Township (plans are to add 30,000 new residents), in Barnegat (another 20,000), and in Manahawkin, Stafford Township, the Walters Homes Co. plans to bring development to the intersection of Route 9 and Route 72. Just considering traffic issues and not just during the summer months when tourists want to reach the shore towns - we here in Ocean County are already choking on traffic year-round and the state does not have the resources to fund all new roads. The Water Management Act of 2017 clearly states that there will be clean drinking water shortages in many areas of New Jersey. Our area suffers from a water deficit by 58.8 MGD (million gallons per day) in Maurice, Salem and
Cohansey Water Management Area. We may be out of water by 2020 and so will be some northern areas near the Delaware Water Gap and on the east in Hudson, Hackensack, Middle Passaic, Whippany and Rockaway WMA. And with water shortages, these new homes in planned development areas will turn on their spigot with NO water coming out! That will bring in saltwater intrusion with rotting water and sewer lines, rotting indoor plumbing including washing machines, hot water heaters and certainly complete failure of private wells. Records show that in 1950, Lacey Township had 966 residents! Of course that changed after Oyster Creek was built and lower property taxes brought in many new residents. Union Township had 1,173 people, Stafford had 1,347 people, and Jackson Twp. had 3,513 residents according to Ocean County records. Now one has to wonder what lack of clean drinking water will hold for the future in these areas. Remember, the date for lack of water is forecasted to be close: 2020 (A year and a half from now!)

The Swamp” In Toms River
While many of the residents of Toms River are having a hard time trying to afford their healthcare payments, people with political connections are able to obtain healthcare cheaply. If you are powerful Republican or Democrat looking for cheap benefits, you can get appointed a commissioner on the Toms River Municipal Utilities Authority. Once appointed, you can receive $24,852 worth of health insurance for only $1,028 a year. A commissioner on the MUA doesn’t even work full time. They attend monthly meetings that last about 30 minutes for which they receive a salary of $2,000 plus benefits. Governor Christie attempted to end this abuse of political power by not allowing part-time political appointees to participate in the state health program. Unfortunately, the Toms River Council and MUA found a way to get around this by going with a private health carrier. The MUA Commission should be a volunteer board just like all the rest of the boards in Toms River. People serve on the Planning Board, Board of Adjustment and the Board of Education without pay or any benefits. It is time for Toms River Council to pass an ordinance removing these benefits and stop rewarding their friends. Nels Luthman Toms River
The Cost Of Socialism
The daily discussion of Socialism’s and Democratic Socialism’s pros and cons on cable news channels and in newspapers has been very interesting to my husband and me. We had the good fortune to take a Baltic Sea cruise recently to many of the countries being used as examples of what can be accomplished under Democratic Socialism. I thought your readers might be interested in information given by local tour guides on our daily 2-3 hour city trips. In Copenhagen, Denmark the guide informed us that purchasing a new car required paying a 150% tax on it to the government. Therefore, the true cost of a $30,000 vehicle is $75,000 after the $45,000 tax is paid. The number of bicycles used by residents of Copenhagen may be as much a financial decision by a family as the environmental decision usually given as a reason for the large use of them in the city. The guide in Stockholm, Sweden, also brought up their tax structure during our city tour. Sweden has a cradle to grave care system. She informed us that when a child is born the parents receive $129 every month to purchase food for the child until they are 16 years old. All children can go to university but only those that have high academic ability will be going for free. Parents of children not meeting the academic ability requirements can

Make Yourself Heard
The people of Berkeley face an array of issues – taxes, traffic, the environment, education. Issues that will impact Berkeley for years to come. And no doubt you have something to say about them. So what can you do to ensure that your voice gets heard? First and foremost, town cou ncil meetings. Let
your officials know you’re watching. You can also write letters to the editor to papers like ours. People follow their local papers and by writing about important issues, you spark vital discussion on topics that affect your life. Don’t allow yours to be a lone voice in the wilderness. Make yourself heard.
still send their children to university but will pay for it themselves. In order to pay for these programs along with many others there is a progressive tax system in Sweden. The lowest tax rate is 15% and the guide did not mention if anyone was ever exempted from this lowest rate. The highest rate is 58%. Someone in the front of the bus must have asked the guide’s feelings about paying these tax rates, because she said “We are just used to it.” I wondered, too, myself whether a professional athlete making $10 million in the United States would “get used to” giving $5,800,000 to the government to spend as it wished. Between now and the upcoming November elections we will be bombarded with promises, accusations, and “misspoken” statements from and about candidates and various programs and projects. Each voter will have to decide if they are willing to “get used to” paying the taxes needed to support cradle to grave programs or if they prefer to vote for another candidate more aligned to their fiscal thinking. Barbara Kochie Brick Editor’s note: Some research online showed that the most expensive cars are taxed at 150 percent. Cheaper models are 85 percent. There are more complicated details about this that can be found online. The $30,000 example that the author uses would likely be taxed at 85 percent rather than 150 percent. Still a very large tax, but stated for the sake of accuracy.
Association Shouldn’t Fine For Feeding Animals I am a resident of Village III for 12 years. I own a quad but not the land as the Board of Health pointed out. You can’t feed the cats that are thrown out when their mama dies. The association has no rules or programs for the animals that are thrown out but, boy oh boy, do they make money with fines. The animals that live here should be accounted for, that they have their shots, are fixed, and even a picture of who will take them when mama dies. But all the association wants is money. They get rich on fines. The association sticks a piece of paper to sign before you move in saying you will not feed the animals. The cruelty is unbelievable. We are in the middle of the woods. The bookkeeper says there is “plenty to eat” in the woods (sticks, dirt, stones). It’s your neighbor who reports you of course. They get benefits like a new roof right away. After the association fines you to death, they call the Board of Health which is another $500 first time fine (don’t our taxes pay the Board of Health?) It’s horrible for the animals and us. I know a lot of people don’t care for the animals, but they would never let them starve. I am allergic to cats but I called over 200 places and every one is full. Please fix your cat. The association has no place to put the animals and neither does the Board of Health. But of course, they couldn’t fine you then. Pat Butler Whiting

5 Medical Factors That Could Lead To Hearing Loss
New Jersey Hematology Oncology Associates, LLC
WE OFFER THE LATEST CLINICAL TRIALS TO OUR PATIENTS INCLUDING THOSE WITH: • MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROME • PROSTATE CANCER • BREAST CANCER
While hearing loss is most commonly caused by prolonged exposure to loud noises – also referred to as sensorineural hearing loss – a number of medical conditions can lead to hearing impairment as well. Fortunately, some of these medical conditions are reversible, allowing hearing to become fully restored. Current research is finding strong associations between hearing loss and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, smoking, obesity and dementia. But many lesser-known conditions can impact your hearing health in potentially serious ways. Here are a few of them: 1. Blood Conditions: Poor blood flow is typically the result of circulatory system troubles and can restrict the flow of oxygen to the inner ear. Conditions affecting blood flow include sickle-cell anemia, diabetes and heart conditions. Things like high blood pressure, hypercoagulability and polycythemia can also cause blood related hearing loss. 2. Infections: Meningitis, a bacterial or fungal infection of the brain and spinal cord, can cause sudden hearing loss. Hearing loss is also a side effect of treatment of tuberculosis – though it is possible that the medication used in treatment is what causes the impairment. Both hearing loss and tinnitus are common side effects of Lyme disease (carried by ticks), as well as some STDs, like syphilis. 3. Disease: Ménière’s disease, a disorder of the fluids in the inner ear, is one of the most common causes of hearing loss. Its root is unknown, and the disease typically affects only one ear in individuals between

ages 20 and 50. Other issues known to affect hearing include hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid), kidney disease medications, Paget’s disease and autoimmune inner ear disease, which results in sudden onset hearing loss and must be treated as a medical emergency. 4. Hereditary Conditions: Hearing loss may run in your family. Some serious genetic disorders, such as Waardenburg syndrome, cause the head and internal organs to develop differently, which may result in hearing loss that is difficult to correct through treatment or surgery. Other conditions, like otosclerosis, affect the bones in the middle ear that conduct sound to the cochlea; some of these conditions are correctable with surgery. 5. Tumors and Cancer: Cancers of the head, neck or ear areas can affect the inner ear, but cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, are also notorious for causing hearing loss. Some recent research out of the U.K. suggests that aspirin can help prevent permanent hearing loss as a side effect of the cancer drug cisplatin, but further research is necessary. Acoustic neuromas and tumors that grow on the auditory nerve can cause hearing loss or tinnitus, and they may put pressure on the brain, leading to other conditions. Both are usually benign and can be removed surgically. Free Hearing Screening – Do you have a friend or family member who has complained of an inability to hear things as clearly as they once did? We’ll screen their hearing free of charge. Your referrals mean a healthier local community and healthier communities benefit everyone.

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Help In Case You’re Losing Your Mind
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Don’t you hate it when you’re introduced and you can’t remember the person’s name? What about remembering whether or not you already told someone that story? It’s like one day you go from young to old! This stuff seems to happen more and more as you age. Why does it happen to some of us, and not to others? I’ve wondered. I think it has to do with elevated homocysteine, at least in part. Emerging research about homocysteine connects it to neurofibrillary tangles, and those are associated with progressive memory disorders like Alzheimer’s. Did you know that NSAIDs and oral contraceptives are strong drug muggers of folate? If you deplete folate (vitamin B9), you block your methylation cycle, homocysteine builds up and memory becomes impaired. Perhaps maintaining brain function is related to declining levels of another B vitamin called “methylcobalamin.” It’s also known as vitamin B12, a nutrient that is manufactured by your intestinal flora. Today, health food stores and online e-tailers offer various supplements that you can buy over-the-counter, but of course ask your doctor what’s right for you. I couldn’t possibly know what’s right for each of you and this article reaches million of people, so again, find out if these simple nutritional fixes are ideal for you: Acetyl L-Carnitine - The amino acid Acetyl-L-Carnitine crosses the blood-brain barrier more readily than regular plain L-Carnitine, and it helps the body make acetylcholine, the brain’s super neurotransmitter that is necessary for healthy mood and optimal cognitive function, as well as muscle health, a side benefit.
Lion’s Mane - A 2014 study concluded that Lion’s Mane promotes the growth of nerve cells in the brain. Lion’s mane increases NGF (Nerve Growth Factor), which then encourages the growth of new neurites. NGF encourages neurons to connect to each other, communicate better and simply put, this helps you learn faster and remember things better. Bacopa Monnieri - Bacopa monnieri exerts a strong protective effect on the brain because it inhibits the production of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, and acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that you want a lot of in your brain. Gotu Kola - Gotu kola may help to increase the growth of neurons, promoting brain function, reducing mental fatigue, and supporting memory. Phosphatidylserine - Phosphatidylserine begin to decline with age. It helps “connect the wires” upstairs and improve nerve impulse firing. Green Tea - It’s found in green tea, and EGCG can cross the blood-brain barrier. A 2012 study in mice found that supplemental EGCG promotes brain plasticity in the hippocampus area of the brain. Today should be an important day for you, particularly if you’re now really thinking seriously about your memory for the first time. I’m not a fan of the “wait and see” approach when it comes to your brain. Our life experiences and family relationships as well as friendships are important memories. Your job depends on your ability to remember the simplest tasks. If you’d like to read the longer version of this article, just sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Christopher R. Shea Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates
You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization. Further, it is important to note another crit-
ical benefit of the WorkChristopher R. Shea Esq. ers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. (732) 505-1212.

Continued From Page 4 only way to go is up,” he said. “Go Hawks.” Monmouth will open its regular season Saturday, Aug. 31, at Eastern Michigan University at 6:30 p.m. The game will air on ESPN+. The Hawks will host Hampton University in their home opener Saturday, Sept. 8, at Kessler Stadium. Beverette signs: Former Lakewood standout Tyrice Beverette has signed a contract with the Cincinnati Bengals. The safety tried out for the team as an undrafted free agent in rookie minicamp. He also tried out for the New York Jets. Beverette, a former Stony Brook University defensive back, is on the Bengals’ 90-man roster. The team cut a player to make room for Beverette, a 6-foot, 210-pound safety. He is one of eight defensive backs, including rookie second round draft pick Jessie Bates, in camp. Beverette, who hopes to be on the Bengals’ regular season roster, clocked a 4.26 in the short shuttle, which would have placed him fifth among all safeties invited to the NFL Combine. Beverette was a three-year star ter at Stony Brook where he earned third team All-Colonial Athletic Association honors last season as a senior. He was a second team All-CAA selection as a junior. Thor in NFL: Ira Thor, a Howell Township Board of Education member, has been named the New York Jets’ new crew chief and head statistician. “The Jets called me and asked if I would consider taking a gameday role on their staff,” said Thor, who is in his first year of a three-year term. “Four years ago, my Sundays changed forever and I got to live a dream when I became the permanent internal public address announcer for the New York Giants. Now, I will work on gamedays for both teams. It’s cool to work for both teams.” Thor, a Fair Lawn graduate, is the Director of Athletic Communications and Marketing at New Jersey City University. “I have been truly blessed with great opportunities in my career,” he said, “and am ext remely g ratef ul for yet another one. My Sundays will be busy from August through December and hopefully into January, but I wouldn’t change a thing.” Thor played on the boys soccer and boys volleyball teams at Fair Lawn High
School. He was on the Cutters’ volleyball team which won the first NJSIAA state title in 1995. He played club volleyball in college. “I just know the game (football) and have a broadcasting background,” Thor said. Thor coaches recreational soccer and basketball teams in Howell and coaches traveling soccer in Colts Neck. Off to college: Senior tight end-defensive end Sean Morris of the Barnegat Bengals has committed to Holy Cross of NCAA Division I-AA. Morris fielded three Division I-A and 14 Division I-AA offers before choosing the New England school.

Continued From Page 1 preparation for the arrival of the KC-46A refueling tankers, which are expected to begin arriving in FY 2021. “These authorizations will provide an essential boost to the employees at JBMDL, continuing to upgrade the base and making it the premier refueling hub on the East Coast,” Smith had said. “I am also glad we were able to keep a new round of Base Realignment and Closure out of this legislation.” The president and vice president addressed the bill, known as the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019, at Fort Drum in New York. According to the White House, the NDAA does several things, including: • Adds 15,600 troops across the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps • Procures 77 F-35 fighter jets and funds
the construction of 13 new battle force ships and accelerates funding for several future ships • Increases pay by 2.6 percent There were, however, several aspects that Trump challenged as “unconstitutional.” They are related to the powers and authority of the office of the president. For example, a White House press release said the act purports “to restrict the President’s authority to control the personnel and materiel (sic) the President believes to be necessary or advisable for the successful conduct of military missions. While I share the objectives of the Congress with respect to maintaining the strength and security of the United States, my Administration will implement these provisions consistent with the President’s authority as Commander in Chief.” A full list of challenges is available at whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/statement-president-donald-j-trump-h-r-5515/

Dear Joel

JERSEY CORN & TOMATOES
Umbrella Thief Dear Joel, They say ‘Save it for a rainy day’, and at least that’s what I thought I did. We have an umbrella thief at work. When I went to use my umbrella yesterday, the one I just brought to work that morning, it was gone. This is not the first time this has happened. Why do people think nothing of taking someone’s umbrella? Have you ever done this? Has it ever happened to you? Do I have to buy a safe for my umbrella? Answer I think umbrellas fall into their own category of items like scissors, tape and pens, even jackets and sweaters which have all have been a ‘quick borrow’ by many. The problem is returning it, which is especially hard with an umbrella, because you need it when you arrive at your destina-
tion. Yes, I have ‘borrowed’ an umbrella, but guilt and responsibility made me return it the same day. We have a big group in my office, so we keep a little area stocked with often ‘borrowed’ items, some even donated by co-workers. We have umbrellas, cloth grocery bags, sweatshirts, jumper cables and many more things. The rule is you must return anything you use. It has saved us lots of grief. Maybe you could try it where you work.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of Aug 18 - Aug 24 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Place emphasis on taking good care of the things you already own. A quick fling might be fun in the week ahead but be advised that important relationships started now could possibly run into a heartbreaking situation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Thumb your nose at interruptions. Concentrate on maintaining business as usual and avoid slacking off during the week ahead. Use a combination of ingenuity and people skills to achieve your most worthwhile ambitions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be relentless about continuing to pursue your goals yet remain flexible. You may need to take a few detours. Even if you can’t steamroll over obstacles you needn’t completely abandon pet projects, hopes, or dreams. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Just go with what you know. When you show someone how to do something your knowledge is out in plain view. You may inadvertently invite criticism if you are too sure of your infallibility in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Tom Sawyer had a brilliant idea. If what you are doing looks like fun everyone else will want to be there by your side. You could attract a bevy of devoted admirers that support your financial success in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will have all your little duckies lined up in a row as you demonstrate a flare for organization. Don’t let long hours tire you too much this week and remember to schedule in time to relax and recuperate.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Defend important core beliefs and values. The law doesn’t honor exceptions to the rules, but you can make exceptions within your heart as the week unfolds. Demonstrate your appreciation for true blue partners. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Fall back on family values this week. Nurture important relationships and be especially kind and generous to family members. Listen to your intuition when dealing with matters that could impact hearth and home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Impress others with non-judgmental friendliness and keep the social ball rolling this week. Someone who is the epitome of honesty may be at the other end of the table when you engage in financial maneuvering. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Watch for the light bulbs that go off in your head as this week unfolds. A magazine, trade journal or even a conversation can give you the necessary inspiration to set important matters rolling merrily along. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Focus on friendly competition. A partner may need some encouragement but will eventually be enthusiastic about stretching a few muscles or going along for exercise. Avoid confrontations in the week ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the upcoming week things may come to a head concerning a work-related issue. Take time to care for yourself by watching your diet, setting up routine dental visits, and getting exercise regimens in place.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Looking For Something Light But Satisfying From Your Grill? Put Hamachi On The Menu. By Wolfgang Puck I love to travel, whether I’m relaxing on vacation with my wife and our sons or meeting with my chefs and business partners at my restaurants around the world. As the old saying goes, travel broadens the mind. In my line of work it also literally broadens my culinary horizons, exposing me to wonderful new ingredients and ways to cook. Take the following recipe for grilled hamachi with grilled papaya and Southeast Asian vinaigrette. I was introduced to it back in 2001 when my team and I opened our branch of Spago that still delights guests at the Four Seasons Resort in Maui. And I still enjoy cooking the light combination of seared fish and tropical fruit to this day. In fact, it remains one of my favorite summer dishes. It’s easy to understand why. On a hot summer day, we’re all looking for food that taste fresh and light yet satisfies the hunger that easily builds up when you’re active outdoors. This recipe meets those needs. The many people who have come to love sushi will be familiar with hamachi, the Japanese name for a fish known in English as yellowtail or amberjack; it is also sometimes misnamed yellowfin tuna, but that is a different species. Regardless, the fish has a dense flesh that satisfies meat lovers with a mild, clean flavor that equally delights dedicated seafood fans and those wary of “fishy” fish. You can find hamachi in good seafood shops and supermarket fish departments; or feel free to substitute fresh tuna. I’m happy to see that sushi’s popularity has convinced many people to enjoy certain fish cooked rare, because that’s the best way to prepare hamachi while keeping it moist and tender. During cool weather, you can pan-sear the fish for this recipe in a very hot skillet with a little bit of peanut oil; but, during outdoor cooking season, it makes perfect sense to fire up the grill. That also makes it possible for you to grill the papaya, deliciously caramelizing its surface, to serve as both an accompaniment for the fish and as a colorful, flavorful addition to the vinaigrette dressing served as a sauce for the final presentation. Speaking of that dressing, you can find the two key seasonings you may need for it - red chile-flavored oil and briny fish sauce, a flavor you’ll recognize from Thai and Vietnamese cuisine - in a well-stocked supermarket’s Asian foods aisle. With the vinaigrette’s aromatic combination of tangy, salty, sweet and herbal flavors, it adds so much to the dish; almost like an Asian salsa. In fact, you may find yourself making it to serve with other grilled dishes all summer long! GRILLED HAMACHI WITH GRILLED PAPAYA A ND SOUTHEAST ASIA N VINAIGRETTE Serves 4 as a main dish, 8 as an appetizer
For the grilled papaya: 1 large ripe but still slightly firm papaya 2 teaspoons Asian-style chile oil Kosher salt For the vinaigrette: 1/2 cup (125 mL) red wine vinegar 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lime juice 1/4 cup (60 mL) Asian fish sauce (nuoc mam) 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1/3 cup (85 mL) peanut oil 1/4 cup (60 mL) sesame oil 3/4 cup (185 mL) diced grilled papaya 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 to 125 mL) diced sweet yellow onion or red onion 3/4 cup (185 mL) peeled, seeded, and diced cucumber 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper For the grilled hamachi: 1 large piece hamachi (yellowtail) fillet, about 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Preheat a charcoal or gas grill, or an indoor electric countertop grill or stovetop grill pan. Meanwhile, start preparing the grilled papaya. Halve the papaya lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and then peel each half with a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler or paring knife. When the grill is hot, brush each half all over with the chile oil and season lightly with salt. Grill both halves until brown grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes per side, turning with grill tongs. Remove from the grill, and set aside to cool. For the Southeast Asian vinaigrette, cut off and dice enough of the cooled papaya to make 3/4 cup (185 mL); cut the remaining papaya lengthwise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick and set aside. In a large nonreactive mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce and soy sauce. Whisking continuously, drizzle in the peanut oil and sesame oil. Stir in the diced papaya and as much onion as you like until thoroughly combined. Stir in the cucumber, mint, basil, sugar and white pepper; cover and refrigerate until serving. For the grilled hamachi, drizzle the fish all over with peanut oil and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Grill directly over high heat until well-seared but still very rare, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Remove the fish from the grill, and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Arrange the fish slices overlapping on serving plates, and arrange the papaya slices around them. Spoon some of the vinaigrette over each portion, passing the rest at the table. Serve immediately.
