By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – On September 13, Howell EMS performed a training session for teachers and staff in Howell’s Memorial Elementary School. Howell EMS taught staff the basics of emergency safety procedures for students. “Getting to provide training for the teachers and staff at the schools in Howell is one of the best parts of our job. It’s always a pleasure to work with our local Educators,” stated Howell EMS via social media. Peggy Doyle, EMS Coordinator was present for the event. Memorial teacher Chrissy Remo was a participant in the safety training, simulating a student in an emergency safety situation. “The relationship between us and our wonderful school community grows stronger each year,” said Howell Township Police Department.
By Chris Christopher WEST LONG BRANCH – It was a performance that Tymere Berry, the former Toms River High School South standout now playing cornerback on the Monmouth University football team, would prefer to forget. Even Berry, one of the Hawks’ captains, admitted as much after being burned for two touchdowns in coverage situations. “It was not my best day,” the redshirt junior said after his team’s 54-47 victory over Wagner College. “As a captain, my job is to pick up the defense and I didn’t do it.” Berry was beaten for the first time with 5:38 left in the opening quarter, allowing a 23-yard touchdown pass as the Seahawks went ahead 14-2. Berry was beaten on the right sideline in the end zone. Berry was victimized on a 48-yard touchdown pass on the left sideline with 5:23 to go in the first half.

Monmouth County Kids Place 4th In PGA Jr. Regionals
By Kimberly Bosco LAKEWOOD – An all-star team of junior golfers from the Monmouth County area recently placed fourth in the PGA Jr. League Regional Competition held at LedgeRock Golf Club in Mohnton, PA. The local team, called League 8 All-Stars, ascended to the regional competition from the New Jersey PGA Jr. League Section Championship at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club back in August. Competing against junior golfers ages 13 and under from the Delaware 1 All-Stars, Suffolk County Division 2 All-Stars, and Syracuse East 2 All-Stars, League 8 captured fourth place.

Monmouth:
Continued From Page 1 for the Indians, finished the game with six tackles, including three solo stops, in the Sept. 29 game. “Tymere gives us great leadership,” Monmouth coach Kevin Callahan said. “He sets a great example. Obviously, the team thought enough of his leadership and play to elect him as a captain. He is a great role model for our younger players.” One of the Hawks’ veterans, senior wide receiver Reggie White Jr., came up huge in the clutch, scoring the winning touchdown with 1:14 left in regulation in the non-conference game. White hauled in a toss from junior quarterback Kenji Bahar on the right sideline and raced 84 yards as the crowd of 3,971 fans roared its approval. The catch placed White atop the Hawks’ career receptions list with 213. Monmouth began its possession at its 1-yard line after a 39-yard Wagner punt with 1:44 to go. White scored three plays later. The series lasted just 30 seconds. “I faked out a defender,” White said. “A couple of good blocks opened it up. The catch was huge. Leslie (Marcus, a Monmouth defensive back) called it and said the record breaker would be the game winner.” Monmouth was in survival mode on a warm, sunny afternoon at Kessler Stadium where it won its seventh straight home game dating back to last season. The Hawks stumbled to four turnovers. The miscues cost the winners 28 points overall, including 21 in the fi rst half, in
which Monmouth trailed 21-2 with 5:19 left in the opening quarter. The Seahawks took advantage of a fumble by Matt Castronuova, a senior out of Jackson Memorial who coughed up a kickoff for their third touchdown. Another turnover resulted in a 40-32 deficit with 6:32 left in the third quarter. And with 12:49 remaining in the game, the Hawks found themselves down 47-32 before burying the Seahawks under a 22-0 avalanche to win the game. “If you turn it over four times and give up big plays, it’s very, very difficult to win,” Callahan said. “At times, it looked like we could not do anything right. At times, it looked like we could not do anything wrong. There are a lot of things that we have to work on. There are a lot of things we have to do better, but I am very, very happy with the outcome.” Monmouth pulled to within 47-46 with 4:17 to go in the fourth quarter on an 18-yard touchdown on a sweep of left end by freshman running back Juwon Farri, who broke several tackles. Junior Matt Mosquera tied the game at 47 with the extra point. Monmouth also received contributions from wide receiver Vinny Grasso, a graduate student out of Monsignor Donovan (now Donovan Catholic). Grasso helped the Hawks draw to within 47-38 with 10:24 to play in the game, making a leaping catch over the middle for 12 yards and another grab for 17 yards on consecutive plays. Both resulted in first downs and the second reception put the Hawks at the Wagner 29.
“We needed a pick me up,” Grasso said. “The guys did a good job of blocking. We had a sense of urgency. We all looked at each other and said, ‘We gotta do what we gotta do.’ “ Grasso set up a touchdown, blazing 47 yards up the left sideline with a punt return and putting the Hawks at the Wagner 18. “He did a very good job on returns,” Callahan said. “He gave us very good field position.” Newsy notes: White beat the previous record held by Neal Sterling, now a tight end with the New York Jets after starring at Manasquan. White, who has played in 39 career games, is second on the Hawks’ career receiving yards list with 2,807. He’s 60 yards behind Miles Austin, who starred for the Dallas Cowboys. Grasso is third on the Hawks in receptions (14) and second in receiving yards (184) as the Hawks head into their bye week. He’s second on the team in all-purpose yards (583). He has returned 10 punts for 87 yards and nine kickoffs for 206 yards. Castronuova has caught two passes for 10 yards and returned one kickoff for 14 yards. Monmouth freshman Eddie Morales III, who played for Howell Township, made five tackles, including four solo stops. Castronuova added one assist and broke up one pass. Morales has made eight total tackles, including seven solos, this year. Berry has turned in 23 total tackles, including 16 solos, while making one interception. Monmouth took a 14-10 lead in its series against the Seahawks. Monmouth bested
the Staten Island, N.Y., team for the fifth straight time. Callahan said he was not surprised at the game’s turn of events. “It was an exciting game,” he said. “I knew it would be like the 23 before it. The turnovers were obviously a cause for concern. That’s when I said, ‘We can’t do anything right.’ It looked like a long afternoon. We got back in it and got within striking distance.” Scoring summary: Team safety (Monmouth), Knight (W) 18 pass from Linta (Silvester kick), Wilson (W) 23 pass from Linta (Silvester kick), Wilson (W) 26 pass from Linta (Silvester kick), White Jr. (M) 5 pass from Bahar (pass failed), Guerriero (M) 5 run (Mosquera kick), Bahar (M) 68 run (Mosquera kick), Dale (W) 48 pass from Massei (pass failed), Jones (M) 2 run (Mosquera kick), Wilson (W) 3 pass from Massei (pass failed), Mosquera (M) 37 field goal, Fulse (W) 5 run (Silvester kick), Woodard (W) 26 pass from Massei (Silvester kick), Farri (M) 21 run (Farri run), Farri (M) 19 run (Mosquera kick), White (M) 84 pass from Bahar (Mosquera kick) First downs: Wagner 47, Monmouth 54; Rushes-yards: Wagner 31-59, Monmouth 38-263, Passing yards: Wagner 377, Monmouth 251, Passes-attempts-completions-interceptions: Wagner 45-31-1, Monmouth 26-14-2, Total offense playsyards: Wagner 76-436, Monmouth 64-514 Fumble returns-yards: Wagner 0-0, Mon mouth 0 - 0, Punt ret ur ns-yards: Wagner 0-0, Monmouth 3-63, Kickoff (Monmouth - See Page 5)

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Local Hospital Treats The Whole Person, Not Just The Disease I want to share what happened to me when I went to the emergency ser vices depar t ment at Community Hospital in Toms River, on Su nd ay, the 16th of September. A f r iend d rove me t o t he ho s pit a l a nd we went into the e m e r g e n c y a r e a . It was well-kept, clean, and brightly lit! I was treated with kindness, dig n it y, hu mor, and gentleness. The entire staff was welcoming and smiling. T hey made me feel that I was the most importa nt p e r s o n i n t h e i r lives for the time they took care of me. I had to have several different kinds of tests, all of which were programmed by timed appointments and done within a few minutes as planned. No waiting on a gurney in any hallways. It w a s n e c e s s a r y for me to stay at the hospital overnight for o b s e r v a t io n . T h e r e is a new par t of the
emergency area called R DU, wh ich st a nd s for radical diagnosis unit. It was well-attended by physicians, nurses, aides and other person nel so that at no time did I feel stressed or abandoned. I ret u r ned home on Monday with recommendations to further explore the problem I was having. Tu e s d ay, a m e m ber of staff called to make sure that I would fol l ow u p w i t h m y personal physicians. When I did speak to t he m , t he y a d v i s e d me that the hospital h a d a l s o s p oke n t o them to alert them to my problems. Happily, when I shared this experience with some friends at Leisure Village West, they conc u r r e d w it h wh a t I had experienced. It is nice to know that such a wonderful facility is available to the residents in this area. Dolores Lomega Manchester

Letters To The Editor Coronato Will Be Sorely Missed You did an amazing job Joe Coronato. It’s a shame that partisan politics takes precedence over job performance! You are a true leader and an inspiration to other counties around the state and nation. Sorry to see you go as I know there were many, many things you still intended to accomplish. You’ve left this county a better place than you found it and for that I am grateful and thankful. Ryan Griffin Brick
In Support Of Free Press It’s been a while since I’ve read so balanced and honest an editorial in defense of free speech and free press (“A Letter To The Editor Is One Person’s Opinion,” Sept. 15, 2018). Congratulations and thank you. As every conscious citizen already knows and ought to acknowledge, attacks on both speech and press are generated and promulgated at the highest level of our government. Virtually all news outlets are fake news (including The Brick Times, of course, after publishing a letter about impeachment). Fox and kindred propaganda machines get a pass… or rather, praised, as they applaud and instruct their most faithful fan. In effect, the roiled and offended supporters of the power-that-be will do whatever they can to suppress free speech whenever it impacts their leader in a negative way. Tweets have also been abundantly employed, cascading like a mighty Niagara. I believe this support is well organized and strategically mobilized against free press and free speech that is unsupportive or critical of the leader. I learned this
truth the hard way. I used to The closures, parts of Route 9 Letters To Editor check the online comments following various letters I submitted over the years to the Asbury Park Press. I noted that the contents of my letters were usually not even challenged. The multitude of ad hominem rants included a few that called for my lynching, with one individual offering to bring the popcorn. This animus against me personally was multiplied by a routine “piling on” of attacks with nary a whimper or objection from people who may have thought as I did. Effectively, most reasonable people simply yielded the battlefield of Facebook and other “antisocial” media platforms to a rising surge of disdain for or indifference to facts, full adoption of and obsession with axiomatic “might over right” - “brawn over brain” - “surface beauty over inner substance.” Virtually every quality I learned in religion and seminary and believed to be a virtue reversed roles with its anti-virtue doppelganger. Pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth were transmuted into desirable virtues. Their opposites, once considered virtues, became worthless waste in this new zeitgeist. Forgive me. This started as a sincere and simple note of praise but then it got sidetracked. Please continue your good work. Nicholas S. Molinari Brick
NJ Vulnerable To Disaster, MacArthur Not Helping Though Hurricane Florence didn’t have a significant impact on the Jersey Shore, we are tragically familiar with intense storm weather. This sum mer, f looded roads disrupted commutes to work and trips to school. Brick residents experienced multiple road
were closed, and Greenbriar I senior residents were forced to evacuate. The fact is, New Jersey isn’t prepared. Our communities need immediate infrastructure investments to keep us and our communities safe from danger and damage caused by storms and rising sea levels. Jersey Shore communities need costly but effective infrastructure including levees, dams, flood walls, living shorelines, and retention ponds. Efficient drainage systems and ditches keep roads clear and open during flooding. Other states that traditionally experience flooding have successfully mitigated risks by investing in elevated roads and drainage ditches. Unfortunately, we have elected officials like Rep. Tom MacArthur (3rd District) who voted to give $1.9 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations but has consistently voted against disaster relief funding and failed to advocate for infrastructure investment. And MacArthur’s hero, Donald Trump, is using FEMA as a piggy bank for his priorities, imperiling South Jersey residents still relying on FEMA to assist them in restoring their homes. Tom MacArthur’s constituents need investment and leadership to keep our communities safe. But clearly this isn’t a priority for MacArthur. I urge residents to remember MacArthur’s priorities when voting in November. Kevin Kennedy Waretown

Patients Need To Stick Up For Themselves The story about Allison Brutka was very informative, especially the part about her primar y care physician being so dismissive (“Allison Brutka Is (In Her Words) A ‘Magical Cancer Unicor n,’ Sept. 15, 2018). I think she should tell him about her diagnosis in order to keep him from doing this to other women. He needs a wake-up call. I wish her and her family the best. Christine Johnson Whiting

Fundraiser Oct. 6 For Pancreatic Cancer Research Proceeds from the race will once again support the Lustgarten Foundation, which is dedicated to advancing research related to the diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of pancreatic cancer, as well as providing information to patients and their caregivers. The Foundation was named in honor of Marc Lustgarten, a former Cablevision vice chairman who was diagnosed with the disease and died in 1999. To date, Lustgarten Foundation
has directed more than $154 million to pancreatic cancer research. Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States and is the deadliest major cancer, with a five-year survival rate of just 9 percent, according to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. In 2018, it is predicted that more than 55,000 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
I have seen firsthand how devastating this disease can be to patients and their families. As a co-founder of this run, it is my mission to raise awareness and funds for research to extend and improve the quality of life for those diagnosed. Participants can either register online or on the day of the race, starting at 8:30 a.m. at The Headliner, located at 1401 Highway 35 in Neptune. The 5k run will start at 10 a.m. and the 2

Bill Would Allow Nursing Aides With Out-of-State Licenses to Practice in NJ

work experience. “There are a nu mber of out- of-st ate nu rsi ng aides with extensive work experience and glowing recom mendations, who can’t work in New Jersey simply because our outdated reciprocity rules are keeping them f rom applying to jobs here. Why shou ld t hese qu al if ied

“I wa nt to com mend NJCEDV for their playing a direct role in saving l ive s a nd g iv i ng ho p e to sur vivors of domestic abuse,” Smith said. “They - and all partners working with them - are the first line of defense for t hese women a nd children.” The grant program was created through Smith’s provisions that reauthorized VAWA; the original VAWA helped draw national attention to the e p i d e m i c of d o m e s t i c v iole n c e a n d i nve s t e d significant resources to prevent domestic abuse, a s s i s t t h e wo m e n a n d c h i ld r e n v i c t i m s , a n d improve the judicial sys-

MANALAPAN – Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon is pleased to announce that Kevin A. Coyne is the winner of the 2018 Jane G. Clayton Award. The award will be presented at the County Clerk’s 23rd Annual Archives and History Day on Saturday, Oct. 13 at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters in Manalapan. “Kevin Coyne is an outstanding journalist, town historian, and public servant who embodies the Jane G. Clayton Award through his dedication to the promotion and preservation of Freehold Borough’s history,” said County Clerk Hanlon. Coyne is the author of several books, including Marching Home: To War and Back with the Men of One American Town, about six World War II veterans from Freehold. In addition, he has served as the Freehold Borough Historian since 2000 and has contributed to many projects in the town, including the World War II memorial at Elks Point. When Coyne served on the Freehold Borough Council, he helped establish the town’s Historic Preservation Commission, on which he still serves. He has also served on the board of the Monmouth County Historical Association and, since 2000, has been an adjunct professor at the Columbia Journalism School. “Kevin Coyne has made a lasting mark in the County seat and I am delighted that he will be receiving the Clayton Award as recognition for his many years of service to our community,” said County Clerk Hanlon. Named for the former County Clerk who established the Monmouth County Archives, the
Jane G. Clayton Award has been given annually since 1997 to an individual who has made a major contribution to the preservation and knowledge of Monmouth County history. This year’s Archives Week events from Oct. 13 to 17 will focus on the history of Monmouth County buildings, the subject of a month-long exhibit, opening Oct. 1, organized by the Monmouth County Archives at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters in Manalapan. At 11 a.m. on Oct. 13, the Jane G. Clayton Award will be presented to Kevin A. Coyne during the plenary session at the County Clerk’s 23rd Annual Archives and History Day. That day, more than 60 local and state history organizations will set-up displays on topics relating to New Jersey history and their organizations. With 300 expected attendees, County Clerk Hanlon encourages all local historical organizations to participate in the event and to sign up for an exhibitor table. “Archives Day is designed for the public to connect with archivists, historians, and other preservationists,” said Monmouth County Archivist Gary D. Saretzky. “This event provides the opportunity to learn about the history of Monmouth County and to hear fascinating stories from the people who have studied it.” For more information about Archives and History Day, including the preliminary program for the event, please visit the Monmouth County Clerk’s Archives Division website at MonmouthCountyClerk.com/Archives or contact the Monmouth County Archives at 732-308-3771, ext. 3776, or email CountyClerk@co.monmouth.nj.us.

Freeholders Pass Resolution To Remove Hope Road from Master Plan FREEHOLD – On Sept. 27, the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders unanimously passed a resolution to remove Hope Road, between Sycamore Avenue (County Road 13A) and Tinton Avenue (County Road 537), as a potential County road from the Monmouth County Road Plan. “We created and passed this resolution as a direct result of our conversations with the residents of Tinton Falls, who expressed their concerns and suggestions during our public meeting last month,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Department of Public Works and Engineering. “Today we are acting on something for the people and we are happy to do so. We look forward to continuing an open dialogue with the residents about improving safety of the intersection.” “We reacted very quickly and for good reason,” said Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Division of Planning. “I would also like to point out that this would not have been possible without the swift action of the Monmouth County Planning Board.” On Aug. 1, Director Arnone and Deputy Director Burry held a Public Information
Session attended by more than one hundred residents and public officials. As a direct result of the open dialogue between the Director, Deputy Director, and the residents at the Public Information Session, Tinton Falls Borough Council passed a resolution on Sept. 4 to request that the County remove Hope Road from the Monmouth County Road Plan. The Monmouth County Road Plan is an element of the Monmouth County Master Plan, which was adopted in October 2012. In the current plan, some municipal roads that may serve a regional function were identified as potential County roads. However, these roads would only become County roads through a formal municipal request of a jurisdictional takeover. The Clerk of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders will forward a certified, true copy of the resolution to the Borough of Tinton Falls, the Monmouth County Planning Board, and the County Engineer.

Monmouth County Clerk Launches Gold Star Parent Identification Card
By Kimberly Bosco FR EEHOLD – Mon mouth Count y launched the Gold Star Parent Identification Card on September 30, aligning with Gold Star Mothers’ Day. This card is meant for the biological parents, legal guardians, and other legal custodians of members of the armed forces who died while on active duty for the United States. “There are not enough ways to say thank you to the service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms and way of life,” said County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon. “My office is proud to provide these cards as a small way to honor their sacrifices and to remind their parents and guardians that the legacies of their sons and daughters will always be remembered.” The Gold Star Card provides these parents with free access to New Jersey state parks, forests and beaches, and the New Jersey State Museum. It also affords cardholders discounts from local retailers that participate in the County Clerk’s “Honoring our Heroes” Military Appreciation Program. The card is free. It identifies the parent with the branch of the armed forces in which their loved one served, along with personal information. The title “Gold Star” comes from the Service Flags flown by families during World War I. A blue star was placed on the flag
for every family member serving in the armed forces. If that individual died, it was replaced with a gold star. Monmouth County residents must provide either of the following documentation at the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office in Freehold or the Monmouth County Connection in Neptune to apply for the Gold Star Card: Certification from an organization formed for the support of parents of members of the United States Armed Forces who lost their lives while on active duty (ex. American Gold Star Mothers, Inc.), confirming that the applicant is a parent, legal guardian or legal custodian The service member’s federal DD-1300 Form, Report of Casualty, which identifies the member of the Armed Forces who died while on active duty for the United States, plus documentation showing the applicant’s relationship to the service member. The Monmouth County Clerk’s Office is located at 33 Mechanic Street, in the Market Yard Parking Lot in Freehold Borough.

The Allergic Connection Between Stevia And Ragweed By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
It’s hardly a secret that many foods today have non-sugar sweeteners added to them. As far as natural sweeteners go, stevia is the king. It’s in a bazillion food products, many of which are aimed at people with diabetes or obesity. Powdered supplements and lozenges often contain stevia, it’s everywhere! Stevia is a plant-derived herb, so obviously there could be allergies. Maybe your throat itches or seizes up when sipping a stevia-sweetened drink or when you chew on sugar-free gum. Maybe you sneeze or your lips itch. Perhaps it’s a coughing fit or hives and a rash. It’s all because of a very common allergen: Ragweed! Are you allergic to ragweed? If you are, then you are also susceptible to sensitivities from stevia consumption. Before I discuss allergic symptoms, I’d like to share the extraordinary medical benefits that stevia offers in case you’re not allergic to it. Most people are not. Stevia helps with: • Diabetes • Hypertension • Kidney disease • Pain and Inflammation • Infections • Diarrhea Stevia is two hundred times sweeter than table sugar, contains almost no calories, and won’t adversely affect your blood sugar when consumed. That’s why it’s an incredible herb for sweetening foods when you’re on a diet, or if you are just health conscious. But the problem is the family tree. Stevia was born into the Asteraceae family, or “Aster” which essentially means that
stevia is genetically kin to marigolds, daises, chrysanthemums, dandelion, lettuce, safflower, sunflower, artemisia (wormwood), artichokes, endive, and, most importantly, ragweed. This is a botanical family that allergen-prone individuals need to stay away from. In fact, there’s an estimated 23 million Americans who suffer from ragweed-triggered hay fever. Not all of those people are sensitive to stevia, or the other plants in the Aster family, but some of you are and may not have realized it until just now! Pollen from the ragweed and pollen from the stevia plant contain very similar proteins as part of their genetic makeup. This means that there’s cross-reactivity between them. Once the stevia protein passes through your gut, and gets absorbed by your bloodstream, it might get mistaken by your immune system and shot down! Your body might mistake it for the ragweed protein (because they’re so structurally similar) and then you’re faced with miserable allergic symptoms. I have written a longer version of this article that features other natural sweeteners, as well as advice to help determine if you’re truly allergic. Visit suzycohen.com and sign up for my free newsletter so I can email you this article along with precautions. In the meantime, keep track of symptoms that are suggestive of ragweed cross-reactivity such as throat, lip and mouth itching and swelling, hives, dizziness, coughing fits, temporary shortness of breath, or throat pain. If you feel like you’re sensitive, I recommend cutting out stevia from your diet until you get some answers and visiting a board-certified immunologist for testing.

–Photo courtesy FRHSD FREEHOLD – Erika Tan, a senior in the Medical Sciences Magnet Program at Freehold High School, spent part of her summer participating in the Governor’s School of Engineering and Technology at Rutgers University. While there, Erika worked on and presented a group research project to train micro-drones to perform real-time, automated litter detection. The group used machine-learning algorithms and synced them with the drone’s cameras so it could classify different pieces of litter such as paper, cups, etc. Erika also attended an awards ceremony in California for the Google Code-In, an international open source coding competition for teenagers. While there, Erika made a close friend and the pair has been working together on personal coding projects. One of those projects is a set of machine-learning algorithms trained on handwriting and voice recording datasets to detect Parkinson’s disease. Both the litter detection and Parkinson’s papers were accepted for presentation at the IEEE MIT Undergraduate Research Technology Conference. Erika will travel to Massachusetts this fall to participate in the conference. According to its website, the 2018 IEEE MIT Undergraduate Research Technology Conference brings together undergraduates around the world to present, discuss, and develop solutions to advance technology for humanity. As an IEEE official conference, undergraduates may publish papers of their school projects, research, innovations, or case studies. Participants attend a rich
program with keynote speeches and technical flash talks featuring renowned speakers, a student design competition, and networking events. For over 30 years, the Freehold Regional High School District’s Medical Sciences Magnet Program has offered students a rigorous program of mathematics and science within a comprehensive high school setting. The program of study is unique with freshmen beginning their studies in AP Biology and Honors Algebra II and concluding their senior year with Biochemistry and Multivariable Calculus. Our high achieving and self-motivated students are thoroughly prepared for postsecondary studies in the sciences. Every year, Medical Science students are selected to present these projects at prestigious symposiums such as the New Jersey Juniors Science & Humanities Symposium at Rutgers, the South Jersey Junior Science Symposium at Ocean County College, the Delaware Valley Science Fair and others. Seniors participate in a unique externship at CentraState Medical Center. Twice a month, they attend a lecture series and then shadow physicians and healthcare providers throughout the facility. At the conclusion of their externship, the CentraState Foundation offers multiple scholarships. In addition to this experience, many students also participate in summer internships at institutions such as the NIH, Sloan Kettering, University of Pennsylvania Research Program, and Rutgers Cancer Institute. Medical Sciences Magnet Program students are regularly admitted to prestigious colleges and universities such as Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, MIT, Cornell, University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth University, University of Chicago, Rutgers University Honors Program, and many others. Often our students are accepted into undergraduate/medical combined programs at institutions such as Northwestern University’s HPME, Washington University of St. Louis, Drexel University BA/ MD, George Washington BA/MD, Penn State University BA/MD, TCNJ’s BA/MD, and others. After graduation, students have gone on to become physicians, surgeons, pharmacists, veterinarians, physician assistants, and physical therapists. Others have chosen industry or research careers in biomedical engineering or technology.

The Story of the Jews of Trenton, NJ: A Talk by Arthur L. Finkle
FREEHOLD – The Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County presents The Story of the Jews of Trenton, NJ: A Talk by Arthur L. Finkle, of the Trenton Jewish Historical Society and author of Trenton’s Jews: Beginning, Adaptation and Achieving the American Dream. This program will be held on October 7, 2-3:30 p.m. Trenton, New Jersey’s state capital, had a Jewish population of more than 10,000 in the mid-1970s. But, like several other industrial cities in the state which once boasted of a f lourishing urban Jewish commercial and community life, little evidence of its continuity remains in present times; most of the original residents and their descendants have moved to surrounding suburban areas. Arthur Finkle, of the Trenton Jewish Historical Society, will take a proud and nostalgic look at this example of one of the state’s successful Jewish immigrant experiences and recognize that for many American Jews, Trenton’s story is also theirs. Admission is $3 members, $5 non-members, students free.

Inside The Law Residential Real Estate Tax Appeals Basics
Robert C. Shea Esq.
in the form of sales of comparable properties which occurred on or Marc S. Galella Esq. before October 1 of the year prior to the filing of the appeal. Since most people do not know how to obtain comparable sales, it is best to hire a State licensed or certified real estate appraiser to prepare an appraisal showing the comparable sales. The appraisal must be filed with the Tax Board no later than one week prior to the tax appeal hearing date. The appraiser should also be at the hearing to present the appraisal. In most cases all tax appeals must be filed no later than April 1 of each year. However, the appeal deadline may be earlier or later. It is best to check with the town as to the filing deadline. The filing deadline is strictly enforced and the failure to file by the deadline will result in the appeal being dismissed. Taxpayers seeking to file appeals should begin the process as soon as they receive the assessment card from the tax assessor. 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.
Our clients’ success is our greatest reward. 732-505-1212 • RCSHEA.COM

FULL SERVICE SALON
Specializing In Color
By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates January is the time to consider whether to appeal your residential real estate taxes. This article will address some of the most commonly asked questions about tax appeals. The most important thing to understand about real estate tax appeals is what you can and cannot appeal. Under New Jersey law, you can only appeal that the assessment for your property is in excess of the property’s fair market value. The assessment is the municipality’s determination as to the value of your property. This determination is sent to each taxpayer around February 1 of each year in the form of a post card identifying the property and the current assessment. It is equally important to know what you cannot appeal. You cannot appeal the following: (1) the amount of taxes which you have to pay; (2) whether you can afford to pay the taxes; (3) that another person is paying less taxes than you; and (4) that the assessment of another property is less than yours. Thus, the local County Tax Board can only hear appeals that the property’s assessment is greater than its fair market value. The municipal tax assessment is entitled to a presumption that it is correct. It is up to the taxpayer to prove that the assessment is excessive. To do this, the taxpayer must present evidence to the Tax Board as to the correct fair market value of the property. This evidence should be

MNHS Senior to Present Research Paper at MIT Conference
–Photo courtesy FRHSD MANALAPAN – Brian Cherin While participating at the New Jersey Governor’s School of Engineering and Technology at Rutgers University this summer, Brian Cherin, a senior in the Science and Engineering Magnet Program at Manalapan High School, worked on a research project that has been selected for a prestigious conference. The group focused on how to limit healthcare patients’ exposure to potentially harmful pathogens due to a lack of proper handwashing by the healthcare provider. They developed a hygiene monitoring system, which would oversee a person’s handwashing to compare it to the proper procedure. The research paper Brian’s group completed on the project has been accepted for presentation at the IEEE MIT Undergraduate Research Technology Conference. Brian will travel to Massachusetts this fall to participate in the conference. According to its website, the 2018 IEEE MIT Undergraduate Research Technology
Conference brings together undergraduates around the world to present, discuss, and develop solutions to advance technology for humanity. As an IEEE official conference, undergraduates may publish papers of their school projects, research, innovations, or case studies. Participants attend a rich program with keynote speeches and technical flash talks featuring renowned speakers, a student design competition, and networking events. The Freehold Regional High School District’s Science and Engineering Magnet Program offers a four-year program of interdisciplinary studies for students interested in pursuing careers in mathematics, engineering, or the physical sciences. Students in this program undertake an accelerated program in mathematics, science, computer science, and electronics. In conjunction with specialized studies, students receive a comprehensive education in the humanities. The program includes opportunities for staff and students to interact with representatives from industry and institutions of higher learning in order to acquire an awareness of research methods, current applications, and career opportunities. These field experiences are coordinated with personal counseling which is designed to assist students in postsecondary plans. In the past few years, S&E students interned at companies such as Commvault, Festo Didactic, AT&T, Nokia-Bell Labs, Ocean First Bank, and PEC Telecom Solutions. S&E students are regularly admitted to prestigious colleges and universities such as Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, MIT, Cornell, Cooper Union, Brown, University of Pennsylvania, California Institute of Technology, University of California - Berkeley, and many others.

OHI Offering Flu Shot Program At All Locations
By Kimberly Bosco NEPTUNE – Ocean Health Initiatives, Inc. (OHI) will be offering flu shots at all seven of their facilities for the 2018-2019 season. The flu shot can help prevent influenza, a disease that can affect all ages, leading to major health issues, such as hospitalizations or even death. Common symptoms include fever, body aches, sore throat and headache. According to Dr. Gilbert Fleischer, Chief Medical Officer at OHI, its best to get your flu shot early because the vaccine can take two weeks to take effect. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also recommends that everyone six months or older get a flu shot between now and November. In addition to getting the flu shot, health professionals urge everyone to maintain safe, healthy practices such as frequently
washing your hands, avoiding touching your face and maintaining proper nutrition and exercise. You can schedule your flu shot at any of OHI’s facilities by calling 732-363-6655 or visiting ohinj.org. For questions about the flu shot program, contact Kyle Fannan, marketing development associate, at 732719-1570. OHI accepts and will work with most insurance. For adult patients without insurance, the regular flu shot costs $20 and the high dose for seniors costs $40. Through the Vaccines for Children (VFC), a federally funded program, children without insurance, those who are self-pay patients, or those who receive Medicaid Plan A can receive a flu shot for free. The preservative free and egg free versions of the vaccine are offered at all locations.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCT 6 - OCT 12
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): It always looks darkest before the dawn. You could dwell on problems rather than blessings as this week begins. Don’t give anyone a reason to criticize your actions or make crucial decisions that could affect your heart or your wallet. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may have farfetched fantasies that create confusion in your cozy nest. In the upcoming week it is best to steer clear of anything that seems to be too good to be true. Remain businesslike and professional when you are on the job. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you set an example of hard work and busy schedules you can’t blame a loved one for doing the same. When you have time for play a lover might not have the time for dilly-dallying. The last half of the week is better for romance. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may need to uncover pertinent information that seems hard to locate. Valuable input will be available from associates and loved ones later in the week. If you have a problem, try putting it on the back burner for a few days. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It is better to polish your shoes than to buy new ones. In the week ahead, you should concentrate on making family members happy. Keep your credit card in your wallet and avoid the shopping malls because your good taste is in low supply VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be torn between devoting time to your family and the demands of the workplace or career. You will find it very easy to make astute decisions that involve finances in the week ahead. Avoid making a spur of the moment decision.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may struggle to charm your way out of a predicament. You may find that some other people are not loyal and honest. Although it may be difficult to meet someone’s exacting standards your business sense is in fine fettle as this week unfolds. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Knots can be useful and don’t necessarily represent a tangle. Careful splicing can bring two divergent things or people together into a united whole. Wait until at least the middle of the week to put your brilliant ideas and plans into motion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you pour money like water the pitcher will soon be empty. Take stock of your financial situation; you can’t trust to luck. Wait until the last half of the week to make significant changes or decisions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have heard about the tangled webs that we weave when “we practice to deceive.” This is a poor time to act on your basest interests or to pretend you have experience. Lay low and behave yourself in the first half of the week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Old friends from the past and reliable, dependable people could cross your path in the week ahead. You might find these folks unexciting or embarrassing, but you know you can trust them and count on them in a pinch. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep your money in your pocket for the next few days. Unexpected expenses could mount up. Fight off the urge to end a relationship or start a new one this week because you overlook potential repercussions or hidden drawbacks.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen A Simple Solution For Your Weeknight Supper
By Wolfgang Puck
With the new school year in full swing and kids involved in a whirlwind of after-school activities, it can often seem like precious little time remains to put a good home-cooked dinner on the family table. That’s a shame, since shared meals have always been one of the best ways to bring family members closer together. Fortunately, a smart solution to this very modern challenge can be found in an ancient Chinese cooking technique: stir-frying. Think about it for a moment: Even in the fi nest Chinese restaurants that you know, do you ever really have to wait very long for the food to arrive at your table? Stir-frying makes perfect sense for a quick, easy dinner. Small pieces of food cook in moments when stirred continuously in a large, hot pan. Add some aromatic seasonings that blossom enticingly on contact with heat, along with a few traditional Asian sauce ingredients, and a delicious main dish is ready to serve just minutes after you start heating the pan. That pan doesn’t even have to be hemispherical-shaped Chinese wok. I fi nd it easy to stir-fry in any skillet large enough to hold all the pieces of food in a single layer so they cook evenly; the curved sides help ingredients fall back into the pan during continuous, brisk stirring. The equipment and the cooking process aren’t much of a challenge. But I must admit that, when searching for stir-fry recipes, many people find themselves daunted by lengthy lists of sometimes hard-to-fi nd ingredients. That’s even sometimes true of recipes from my own Asian-inspired restaurants like Chinois, where we always aim for the utmost authenticity. At home, though, it’s OK to take some shortcuts; as long as they don’t shortchange the quality of the results. That’s why I’m happy to share versions of two of my favorite stir-fry recipes that I’ve adapted especially for the home kitchen, to give you authentic Chinese results without the need to go on any kind of special shopping expedition. You’ll fi nd the most out-of-the-ordinary ingredients - bottled hoisin sauce and rice vinegar - in the Asian foods section of any well-stocked supermarket. Both recipes are simple and surprisingly healthy, featuring lean proteins fresh vegetables. You can also vary the recipes as you like, substituting ground turkey, pork, lamb or beef for the ground chicken; and strips of chicken breast or lean beef for the shrimp, along with other quick-cooking vegetables you prefer. May your stir-frying lead to many delicious, enjoyable and easy family meals ahead! LETTUCE WRAPS WITH SWEET-ANDSPICY GROUND CHICKEN Serves 4 2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil 1 pound (500 g) ground chicken 2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 tablespoon minced ginger root 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional Kosher salt
Regular or low-sodium soy sauce 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce 1/3 cup (85 mL) orange marmalade 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 1 teaspoon toasted Asian-style sesame oil 8 medium-sized iceberg lettuce leaves, free of any tears, rinsed and patted dry 1 medium carrot, peeled and shredded 2 green onions, trimmed and thinly sliced diagonally Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and, as soon as it begins to shimmer and swirls easily when the skillet is gently turned to coat the bottom evenly, add the chicken, garlic and ginger, along with red pepper flakes to taste. Stir continuously with a sturdy wooden spoon, breaking up the chicken into small particles, until the meat loses all its pink color, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in salt and a little soy sauce to taste. Add the hoisin, marmalade, rice vinegar and sesame oil, and continue stirring until thoroughly combined. Arrange the lettuce leaves in cup shapes side by side on a large serving platter. Divide the mixture among the lettuce cups, and scatter carrot shreds and scallion slices on top of the chicken. Serve immediately. SHRIMP AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY Serves 4 2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil 1 pound (500 g) medium-sized fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon minced ginger root 1 green bell pepper, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and cut into strips 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide 1 red, orange or yellow bell pepper, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and cut into strips 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide 1 pound (500 g) snow peas, trimmed 1/4 cup (60 mL) hoisin sauce 4 cups (1 L) steamed white rice 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, lightly but evenly season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the skillet and, as soon as it begins to shimmer and swirls easily when the skillet is gently turned to coat the bottom evenly, add the shrimp, garlic and ginger. Stir continuously with a sturdy wooden spoon, turning the shrimp, until they begin to turn pink, about 1 minute. Add the bell pepper strips and snow peas, and continue stirring briskly just until the shrimp are bright pink and white and the vegetables are glossy and tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add the hoisin sauce and continue stirring briefly until it is glossy and coats the shrimp and vegetables evenly. Serve the shrimp and vegetables immediately over steamed rice, garnishing with sesame seeds.
