By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – It is a tradition of the Ocean County Columbus Day Parade and Italian Festival to showcase entertainment imported from Italy. This year’s 27th annual parade was no exception as two folkloric groups of singers and dancers took to the streets to entertain crowds during the Oct. 5-7 Italian festival and the parade. This year’s groups included Tatarata who came from Casteltermini, a commune in Agrigento. The 50-member group used swords and drums as part of their performance. Citta’ di Agrigento of Sicilia, Italy performed songs and dancing numbers from traditional Italian culture. They wore traditional garb to show a bit of 18th century Italian history. This marked the first time either group visited Ocean County. Unlike the last two years, this year’s parade was devoid of rain or gray skies. Borough Mayor Anthony Vaz, who kicked off the event with a brief ceremony alongside with Freeholder Joseph Vicari on Oct. 5, was very (Parade - See Page 5)
Uncontested Elections For Town Councils
Towns Want More Defenses To Protect Against Flooding By Chris Lundy Most people hope Superstorm Sandy was a once-in-a-lifetime disaster. But they also think that preparation should be done to prevent such an occurrence if it does happen again. The Army Corps of Engineers held a meeting in Toms River recently, discussing possible plans for what they could do, with the Department of Environmental Protection, to minimize the damage of storms like this. They are expected to finalize a plan by 2022. The plans go beyond just fortifying beaches after they are washed away. They are considering man-made structures, like sea walls, to manage the water in the Barnegat Bay. George Kasimos became an unwilling expert on flood damage and rebuilding after his home was hit by Sandy. He has said the federal government’s poor handling of it caused him to create the group Stop FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) Now. He (Flooding - See Page 4)

Flooding: Continued From Page 1 said it would protect at least 225,000 residents and at least $20 billion in property. Another benefit is that it would remove the need for homeowners to raise their homes, and lower flood insurance premiums, he said. One thing that added insult to injury after Sandy was that homeowners had to raise their houses and pay huge increases to their insurance payments, all the while recovering from the flood. He urged local towns to pass resolutions in support of the sea wall in the bay. Berkeley Township passed a resolution supporting a “Barnegat Bay Sea Wall Pro-
jection Project.” Bill McGrath, a planner and surveyor who heads up the volunteer Waterways Advisory Committee, said that this plan could provide protections in case of another Sandy. The Toms River Township Council also passed a resolution requesting the DEP and Army Corps install sea walls in the Barnegat Bay. “When we look at the flooding from (Superstorm) Sandy, how much of it came from the bay side?” Councilman George Wittmann Jr. said. If the Army Corps of Engineers is protecting the ocean front with the dune project, then the bayfront should also be protected, Councilman Maurice Hill said.

Parade: Continued From Page 1 happy about that. Later that evening Parade Committee Chairman Michael Blandina commended the work of John Giavatto, the International Relations Chairman for the committee who arranged for the two folkloric groups to be a part of the festival and parade. Blandina noted that it takes the committee twelve months to prepare for the parade and that a small number of volunteers make up the committee who plan it each year. “This is a year-long effort to raise the funds to bring these groups here and to put on the parade.” Giavatto introduced the two groups as spectators watched from the streets. The street festival featured vendors, many of whom sold a variety of Italian food ranging from sausage, meatball, eggplant, pizza, pasta, cheesesteak, Italian hot dogs and espresso. Some non-traditional Italian fare was also available for purchase including crab cake sandwiches and arepas, which are sweet corn cake patties filled with mozzarella cheese. For Tom Blackmoor of Stafford Township the festival and parade are a fall tradition. Blackmoor sported a red, white and green cap as he held his sausage sandwich as he stood beside his wife Susan and his daughter Jennifer Cahill. The trio came to the kickoff event on Oct. 5. “We come every year. We come for the food,” he said. “Food and the music,” his wife added. Tom said he was half Irish and half Italian while his wife said she was half Italian and half Polish. Their daughter said “I just enjoying hanging out with my parents for this.” Dennis Filippoine of Lacey served as parade marshal this year. “Every year we are faced with the difficult task of selecting one person from the many deserving candidates to serve as the ceremonial leader of our parade and Italian Festival,” Screening Committee co-chair Phyllis Shindle said earlier this year. “Dennis’s community involvement and leadership over the years in the Brick Township School system contributed to our decision. Especially for his efforts to bring ethnic heritage and culture into the school system,” Shindle added. The aroma of freshly made Italian sausage filled the air near the street fair area as the crowds eagerly awaited the start of the parade on the afternoon of Oct. 7. Among those spectators were Vincent and Maria Vincenti, who have a summer home in the borough. Both donned their Italian caps as they awaited the start of the parade. “We are here every year. We come for the Italian music and the performers who come from Italy. I was three years old when I came from Italy to this country. I also love the bands and music played during the parade,” Maria Vincenti said. Her husband added “This keeps the tradition alive every year.” Nicole Hanrahan, six-year-old son
The Berkeley Times, October 13, 2018, Page 5 John, and her sister Amanda Hohman of Jackson took in the parade for the second year in a row. “We came out as a family,” Nicole Hanrahan said. “My uncle plays in a band. I like the music,” John said as he juggled a box of Dots candy and waved an American flag. Not all the music was Italian. Members of the Ocean County Emerald Society Pipes & Dr u ms band and the Saint Brendan Pipes and Drums Band of Point Pleasant brought along their kilts and bagpipes to entertain those along the parade route. Another fixture of the parade was Italian-American clubs like the Renaissance Italian American Club of Manchester Township and the Greenbriar Oceanaire Italian American Social Club of Waretown. Each year, explorer Christopher Columbus (in the form of a costumed impersonator) is featured on a f loat which was sponsored by Carabba’s Italian Grill. This year was no exception and he and those on the f loat got a rousing round of applause as the f loat traveled down the boulevard.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER In Defense Of Public Libraries Is the public library obsolete? A lot of powerful forces in society seem to think so. In recent years, declines in the circulation of bound books in some parts of the country have led prominent critics to argue that libraries are no longer serving their historical function. Countless elected officials insist that in the 21st century - when so many books are digitized, so much public culture exists online and so often people interact virtually - libraries no longer need the support they once commanded. But the problem that libraries face today isn’t irrelevance. The real problem that libraries face is that so many people are using them, and for such a wide variety of purposes, that library systems and their employees are overwhelmed. According
to a 2016 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, about half of all Americans ages 16 and over used a public library in the past year, and two-thirds say that closing their local branch would have a “major impact on their community.” Libraries are being disparaged and neglected at precisely the moment when they are most valued and necessary. Why the disconnect? In part it’s because the founding principle of the public library - that all people deserve free, open access to our shared culture and heritage - is out of sync with the market logic that dominates our world. But it’s also because so few inf luential people understand the expansive role that libraries play in modern communities. Libraries are an example of what I call “social infrastructure”: the physical spaces and organizations
that shape the way people interact. Libraries don’t just provide free access to books and other cultural materials, they also offer things like companionship for older adults, de facto child care for busy parents, language instruction for immigrants and welcoming public spaces for the poor, the homeless and young people. For older people, especially widows, widowers and those who live alone, libraries are places for culture and company, through book clubs, movie nights, sewing circles and classes in art, current events and computing. For many, the library is the main place they interact with people from other generations. For children and teenagers, libraries help instill an ethic of responsibility, to themselves and to their neighbors, by teaching them what it means to borrow and take care of something
public, and to return it so others can have it too. For new parents, grandparents and caretakers who feel overwhelmed when watching an infant or a toddler by themselves, libraries are a godsend. In many neighborhoods, particularly those where young people aren’t hyper-scheduled in formal af ter-school prog rams, libraries are highly popular among adolescents and teenagers who want to spend time with other people their age. One reason is that they’re open, accessible and free. Another is that the library staff members welcome them; in many branches, they even assign areas for teenagers to be with one another. To appreciate why this matters, compare the social space of the library with the social space of commercial establishments like Starbucks or McDonald’s.
These are valuable parts of the social infrastructure, but not everyone can afford to frequent them, and not all paying customers are welcome to stay for long. The openness and diversity that flourish in neighborhood libraries were once a hallmark of urban culture. But that has changed. Though American cities are growing more ethnically, racially and culturally diverse, they too often remain divided and unequal, with some neighborhoods cutting themselves off from difference - sometimes intentionally, sometimes just by dint of rising costs — particularly when it comes to race and social class. Libraries are the kinds of places where people with different backgrounds, passions and interests can take part in a living democratic culture. They are the kinds of places where the public, private and philanthropic
sectors can work together to reach for something higher than the bottom line. We should take heed. Today, as cities and suburbs continue to reinvent themselves, and as cynics claim that government has nothing good to contribute to that process, it’s important that institutions like libraries get the recognition they deserve. It’s worth noting that “liber,” the Latin root of the word “library,” means both “book” and “free.” Libraries stand for and exemplify something that needs defending: the public institutions that - even in an age of atomization, polarization and inequality - serve as the bedrock of civil society.

Letters To The Editor MacArthur’s Event With Nunes Shows His True Colors I’ve been ver y w rong about Tom MacArthur! The one thing I always gave him the benefit of the doubt regarding was Russia. I assumed his support of bad policies that
harm his constituents was just his own greed and he was an unwitting tool for Russia. Sadly, all doubt was removed when he brought one of the top Russian agents, Devin Nunes, to our district (during a GOP event in Toms River). MacArthur is not just harming his constituents

Candidates Seek What’s Best For Jackson As official candidates for the upcoming November election, and lifelong Jackson residents, we would like to recognize a few factual items that have moved Jackson in the right direction while maintaining public safety. In the last six years, the mayor and his administration have had more roads paved, lined and signalized than any other administration has to date. To compliment this, the same can be said on completing more infrastructure projects than any span in Jackson’s history. And in speaking with the mayor, he has assured us that we are not finished making Jackson the place
you want to live, work and to the Jackson Township affect all of us financially for Letters To The Editor play. The planned additional projects will continue the momentum of improving quality of life for all Jackson residents. It would be remiss on our part not to express our opposition to Gover nor Murphy, the Senate and Legislature for removing $1.3 million in state aid away from the Jackson Township School District for the years 2018 and 2019. By the end of 2024 the total loss of state aid to our school district will be a disastrous $17.3 million hit, which will need to be made up by all of Jackson’s residents. To add salt to the wound, the governor’s administration waited until after the district finalized the 20182019 budget and staffi ng. We applaud the mayor’s leadership and the council for passing resolution 278R-18 opposing Governor Murphy’s punishing reduction of state school funding
School District while mysteriously boosting other school districts’ funding. The governor has reduced funding in specific districts in favor of other districts that do not manage their budgets as well as they could. Time and again you will hear Trenton Democrats say that these school districts need additional “funding”. On average, the Jackson taxpayer already pays more than $1,000 per year in school taxes that support way too many school districts outside of our own. We say that these districts don’t need additional funding but instead need guidance on how to get the best return for the budgets they have now. Jackson Township is blessed with outstanding and caring teachers, staff and programs, so to lose even a small portion is a slap in the face to all. But to lose almost $17.5 million in state school funding will
decades. Our graduation rate is as exceptional as are our students, so why take away funding from such a high ranking, well run district is the real question, therefore, we intend to ask Trenton just that. The Trenton Democrats have a track record of failed policies that continue to cost Jackson tax payers their hard-earned money. While they are taking away funding for Jackson’s children’s education, they are including the price we now have to pay for illegal aliens’ education and millions of dollars for legal defense funds. We cannot continue to allow the policies of the Trenton Democrats to propagate at will to and now into Jackson Township. Please ensure your voice is heard and vote on November 6th!

More Suburban Taxes Being Sent To Urban School Districts CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
TRENTON – Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove (both R-9th) stand unconditionally opposed
to and voted against legislation that would send yet more taxpayer dollars to Paterson and Trenton. The bill, A-4350, was ap-
proved by the Assembly on Sept. 27, 2018. Senator Christopher J. Connors stated he stands with his 9 t h D ist r ict A sse mbly colleagues and, accordingly, will vote against the measure if it is considered in the Senate. The 9th District Delegation made the following remarks on the bill: “It never ends. Suburban and rural taxpayers
continue to subsidize big sp e nd i ng i n t he u rba n areas of the state that are unwilling to get their own fiscal house in order. “Old school politics certainly not fairness for taxpayers - drives Trenton to cater to urban areas through a rigged state aid system. You cannot exaggerate the profoundly harsh impact that state aid disparities have had
on t a xpayer s liv i ng i n our area, with the most extreme example being state school funding. “Adding insult to injury, the bill was advanced without reference, meaning it didn’t even receive a pu bl ic h e a r i ng. T h e public was deliberately d e n ie d t he op p or t u n ity to scrutinize the bill or debate the reason for sending more t axpayer
Brick Receives $469,000 For School Safety From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur TRENTON – Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd) announced $469,000 in grant funding for the Township of Brick to assist with ongoing efforts to improve school safety measures. The money was awarded through the COPS Office
School Violence Prevention Program author ized by the STOP School Violence Act, a bipartisan bill cosponsored by Rep. MacArthur. These grants enhance school safety measures and increase collaboration between schools and law
enforcement. “This investment in the Brick community will improve safety, security, and prevention measures at schools, as well as foster coordination between our law enforcement officers and students and teachers. Following the horrific shooting in Parkland, Florida, I met with local South Jersey law enforcement officials, students, and advocates to listen about their concerns and ways the federal government can make schools safer,” said
Congressman MacArthur. “The STOP School Violence Act provides funding to schools to implement security enhancements, improves training and assistance for students and staff to better identify and prevent signs of violence, and aligns school and law enforcement efforts - all important steps to make schools more secure and to
provide teachers, students, and law enforcement with the knowledge and skills to create a safer school environment. From the start, I have been adamant that the federal gover nment disperses these grants as quickly as possible and I am glad Brick and communities across the nation received this funding to support their students and schools.

must continue to do all we can to keep our kids safe.” Recently, Congressman MacArthur sent a bipartisan, bicameral letter to Department of Education Secretar y Betsy DeVos urging her and members of the Federal Commission on School Safety to create a central authority to better coordinate federal efforts to assist school districts.

BEACHWOOD – As Fire Prevention Week approaches, the Beachwood Fire Department encourages residents to “Look. Listen. Learn.” What does that mean? Today’s home fires burn faster than ever. In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Knowing how to use that time wisely takes planning and practice. The Beachwood Fire Department is teaming up with the Beachwood Bureau of Fire Prevention and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), to promote this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign: “Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere,” which works to educate the public about basic but essential ways to quickly and safely escape a home fire. NFPA statistics show that the number of U.S.
home fires has been steadily declining over the past few decades. However, the death rate per 1000 home fires that are reported to fire departments was 10 percent higher in 2016 than in 1980. It should be noted that although people feel safest in their home, it is also the place people are at greatest risk to fire, with four out of five U.S. fire deaths occurring at home. That over-confidence contributes to complacency toward home escape planning and practice. We know that people often make choices in fire situations that jeopardize their safety or even cost them their lives. We need to do a better job of teaching people about the potentially life-saving difference escape planning and practice can make and motivating them to action. This year’s “Look. Listen. Learn.” campaign highlights three steps people can take to help quickly and safely escape a fire: Look for places fire could start. Listen for the sound of the smoke alarm. Learn 2 ways out of every room. The Beachwood Fire Department is hosting a series of events in support of this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Look. Listen. Learn.” For more information about Fire Prevention Week and home escape planning, visit firepreventionweek.org.

Italian Flag Raised In Berkeley
–Photo courtesy of Berkeley Township BERKELEY – The Italian Flag Raising was held on Sept. 29 at Town Hall to recognize the month of October as Italian Heritage Month. Mayor Carmen F. Amato, Jr. welcomed the Holiday City Silver Ridge Italian American Club of Ocean County to join him in a reading of the Proclamation and the raising of the Italian flag. Berkeley Township is home to one of the
largest Italian populations in the County. Amato said, “I’m proud to honor the Italian American Club today as we recognize October as Italian American Month and thank the generations of Italian Americans who have helped shape our society and steer the course of our history.” The flag will move to Veterans Park and fly there for the month of October.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SUFFERING WITH NEUROPATHY? IS THE NUMBNESS & TINGLING UNBEARABLE? Time to get your life back! This advanced, all-natural treatment can help you finally find long lasting relief. “I can’t sleep at night – It’s like constant pins & needles in my feet” Peripheral neuropathy often affects multiple facets of a person’s life; they can’t sleep, they’re constantly suffering, and can’t enjoy life the way they used to. Whether this sounds like what you’ve been dealing with, or if you’ve only just begun to feel the numbness, tingling, or pain associated with neuropathy, it’s important you take action to find relief. So many people suffering from neuropathy try lots of exhausting treatment options and medications with little success. That is no longer necessary with this innovative program by Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation, covered by most major insurance providers including Medicare. We’re offering FREE consultations ($245 value) for our neuropathy treatment – call 732-345-1377 to reserve your consult to learn what custom treatment program our doctors can create for you.
If you’re interested in learning firsthand about this breakthrough treatment, call for a completely FREE initial consult ($245 value) – 732-345-1377. But hurry, this valuable offer is only available to the first 17 callers! Forget about drugs with nasty side effects, or being told to “just live with it” Doctors who couldn’t help you, failed attempts to find relief, endless frustration: these are things of the past. The team of experts at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation (MPR) offer holistic and effective solutions to your numbness, tingling, burning, and pins & needles sensations. At MPR, it’s all about YOU and your needs. Each patient receives a customized treatment program, a curated combination of the most trusted and successful technologies that actually have an effect of your symptoms, without having to take more medications. This treatment is unique and works FAST K-Laser therapy at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation has been proven to reduce the painful and numbing symptoms of neuropathy, whether patients are in the early stages, or have been suffering for years and are finally seeking treatment. Tom P., an MPR patient, explains, “I could barely feel anything happening during my laser treatment except for a bit of a warm feeling. I knew it had to be working though, because I could tell a difference even when I went home that day. And now, months later, I feel SO much better!” In addition, the doctors use non-invasive care to eliminate any nerve issues, which effectively gets to the root of your pain. They then treat the symptoms, allowing you to not only feel relief, but also address the cause of your pain. Special low-force instrumentation frees the nerves to eliminate any damage caused by old herniated discs or arthritis. One of the especially distinctive characteristics of the neuropathy treatment at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation is their use of Power Plate© technology, which stimulates the body’s natural reflexive response through vibration. This immensely increases blood and nutrient circulation to the nerve cells. What are you waiting for? This treatment is DIFFERENT, SUCCESSFUL, and the initial consultation is FREE! You have nothing to lose. The team of doctors at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation aims to help their patients get their lives back. Living in pain or trying ineffective treatments time and time again are a thing of the past. Call today for your free consult – 732-345-1377.

Sound Void?
A sound void is most commonly defined as a moment lacking clarity in hearing or understanding; an empty space in one’s life caused by the absence of sound clarity. Sound voids usually occur in specific listening situations where an individual’s hearing loss does not permit them to detect or understand important sounds and speech cues. Individuals often find that sound voids result in tiring, frustrating and embarrassing situations. However you experience them – whether they happen during precious moments with your loved ones, critical conversations in the work place or in common everyday interactions – sound voids can detract from your ability to live your life to its fullest.
Do you often hear people talking but simply have difficulty understanding them? Do you sometimes struggle to hear clearly in background noise? Do you occasionally have trouble following the conversation in small groups? Do you find it challenging to explain your hearing situation to others? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be experiencing the perception of “sound void”. The term sound void was created to help explain the gaps that some say that they experience in their day-to-day listening lives. If this sounds like you or someone you love, you should consider contacting your hearing health care professional today.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

5 Reasons You’ll Want A Weighted Blanket
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Suffering from sleep problems? One strategy that I think is helpful is to use a weighted blanket. These are an easy, completely natural way to improve your mood, lower stress levels, and fall asleep faster. If you have sleep troubles, or your child has them from a chronic condition such as autism, then a weighted blanket might be useful. Weighted blankets are simply blankets that are specially designed to weigh much more than a typical quilt or comforter. These blankets range in weight from as few as 4 lb. to well over 30 lb., and most are filled with plastic beads or natural materials like rice or barley. This extra heft means that the blanket puts pressure on your body when you sleep under it, and this mimics the feeling of close physical contact. In this way, weighted blankets create an atmosphere of physical intimacy and security that can improve your mood and sometimes soothe sensory disorders. I think these are a great idea if you have akathisia or restless legs syndrome. If you’re still skeptical of the general health benefits these could offer, let me share 5 interesting facts. 1. Using a weighted blanket can lower your stress levels and improve your ability to relax. It’s all from an increase in serotonin, which converts to melatonin, your sleep hormone. 2. Reducing cortisol allows for a better night’s sleep. Studies support a reduction in this stress hormone.
3. The modern world makes many people feel isolated. Wrapping yourself in a weighted blanket when you feel alone can increase oxytocin levels and provide instant calm. 4. Could it help with attention problems? The gentle tactile feeling of deep touch pressure can work as a relaxer to significantly increase the concentration and performance of children with ADHD. There is also evidence that the extra sensory stimulation from a weighted blanket can help children improve their fine motor skills, especially if they have autism. In fact, these blankets were first invented as a stress aid for autistic children. 5. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be challenging to manage, but using a weighted blanket might help to control the symptoms. These heavier blankets boost your serotonin levels, which works to reduce symptoms of OCD, calm the mind and hopefully reduce compulsions. For these same reasons, the blankets can also improve other emotional issues or cognitive problems connected to low serotonin levels, including aggression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. At our deepest core, we all want to be cuddled, right? It’s kind of like that! There are some people that should not use a weighted blanket. Choosing the best weighted blanket for you is critical. It’s based on many factors. I’ve written a longer version of this article and if you’d like it just sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen. com and I’ll email you.

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – October is National Dental Hygiene Month. County officials are stressing the importance of good dental hygiene for overall good health. “Everyone enjoys seeing smiling faces but there is some work involved and proper dental hygiene is a key,” Freeholder Director and Board of Health Liaison Gerry P. Little said. He acknowledged that dental care for adults is crucial for overall good health. “As such, in just the first nine months of 2018, the Ocean County Health Department has provided 133 dental education presentations to 3,373 residents of Ocean County and continues to offer presentations from early school age children to senior citizens.” “In 2018, the awareness month is focusing on four routines that can help people maintain healthy smiles: brush, floss, rinse and chew,” Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator, said. “The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth twice a day, for two minutes, with a soft-bristled brush. The size and shape of the brush should fit the mouth allowing you
to reach all areas easily.” A toothbrush should be held at a 45-degree angle to the gums. The brush should be moved gently back and forth in short strokes; brush outer surfaces, inner surfaces and the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Then tilt the brush vertically and make up-and-down strokes to clean the inside teeth surfaces. Finally, brush the tongue to remove bacteria and keep breath fresh. Regular visits to the dentist coupled with proper brushing and flossing can prevent or catch early gum disease and broken dental fillings. A dentist will also check for oral cancer, which claims more than 7,000 lives—mostly men—each year. “Any community group or organization may contact the Ocean County Health Department to schedule a presentation or may visit the Ocean County Health Department’s website at ochd.org or check out our new website at phu2.org, to access and learn more about our Public Health is You Too! campaign to help equip you to take simple steps to improve your health and obtaining important resources for dental services,” Brian E. Rumpf, Director of Administration and Program Development, said.

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

AMI Foundation Marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month Special Events
GALLOWAY – October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the healthcare professionals at Atlantic Medical Imaging (AMI), as well as the AMI Foundation, are marking the occasion with two very special events and free screening mammograms. The free mammograms are for uninsured women ages 40 and older with no current or previous breast issues. The screening mammograms are available throughout October at all AMI locations in Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean and Monmouth counties, with evening and weekend appointments also available. The program is made possible through the generous support of the AMI Foundation and Susan G. Komen Central and South Jersey. To schedule an appointment, please call
609-677-XRAY (9729) or 609-463-9500. Girls Night Out – Wednesday, October 17 at AMI EHT: Most women probably don’t associate mammograms with fun, but AMI’s Girls Night Out on Wednesday, October 17 may change all that. Held in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Girls Night Out incorporates things women love: pampering, food and drink, and spending quality time with friends. The event will take place from 5-8 p.m. at AMI’s Egg Harbor Township office, located at 6529 Black Horse Pike in Egg Harbor Township. It will include screening mammograms, free mini chair massages and free nail polish change, light hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, as well as the opportunity to meet and interact with AMI’s female physicians,
technologists and staff. All attendees will be entered in a drawing to win a free spa treatment. Space is limited for the free massages and nail polish change, both of which are available on a first come, first served basis. Mammography screenings will be available by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, call 609-677-XRAY (9729). “This event represents a ‘best of both worlds’ opportunity for women,” said Dr. Peggy Avagliano, head of women’s imaging at AMI. “It promises to be a fun and enjoyable night out, while at the same time empowering women to take charge of their body and their health.” To RSVP for the event, please call 609568-9153. For more information, visit ami-

Residents Urged To Report Insurance Fraud
By Jennifer Peacock TRENTON – It’s a crime that costs taxpayers billions of dollars annually. The government wants New Jerseyans to help put a stop to it. Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal and the Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor (OIFP) Insurance Fraud Awareness have launched an advertising campaign urging residents to report insurance fraud. That OIFP has a new web page that makes reporting fraud easier. The announcement coincides with Insurance Fraud Awareness Month. Billboards and busses showcase the campaign’s slogan: “Insurance Fraud. Report It. End It.” The three-month campaign will include spots on social networks, radio, television, and college and professional sporting events. “Insurance fraud isn’t a victimless crime. Honest taxpayers are paying the price through higher insurance premiums and increased costs for goods and services,” Grewal said. “Our ad campaign encourages New Jerseyans to fight back and warns insurance cheats of the consequences.” There are about $80 billion fraudulent insurance claims filed annually in the United States, the Coalition Against Insurance
Fraud reports. The fraud affects everyone, from the insurance companies to policyholders, consumers and businesses. “To mark the start of Insurance Fraud Awareness month, we’re calling on the public to protect their own financial interests by reporting fraud, and we’re making it easier than ever for them to do it,” acting Insurance Fraud Prosecutor Tracy M. Thompson said. “We have also unveiled an updated and more user-friendly online reporting form on our webpage at NJInsuranceFraud.org. By simplifying the reporting process we hope to encourage more consumers to join our fight to end insurance fraud.” Information on what is insurance fraud and how to spot it is provided on the website. Identifying elder abuse committed against Medicaid recipients, or facilities receiving Medicaid funding, is also on the site. Thompson will be giving interviews about the fraud issue throughout the month. Anonymous tips about insurance cheating can be made to 877-55-FRAUD or njinsurancefraud.org. Informants whose information leads to an arrest, prosecution and conviction for insurance fraud are permitted a reward under state regulations.

Holiday City At Berkeley EMS: Happy, Safe And Healthy Holidays
By Phyllis Brown The Holiday season is here. Celebrate! Celebrate! I love to start with Halloween and keep going through the New Year. I guess it’s time to take the witches legs out of my garden and put out the turkey plates for Thanksgiving. Don’t use the decorative throw rugs, as cute as they are. They are also dangerous. We don’t know how many actually trip over those things. We only know about the ones who either need our help to get up or get hurt and need to be taken to the hospital. You’re happier to have people visit your home than the hospital even if they bring you a turkey care package. It is difficult to get wheelchairs, walkers, canes and our stretchers over those rugs and as we get older, we don’t pick up our feet as high. You may not trip over them but your friends or grandchildren might. Keep chimneys clean. Don’t leave fi replaces and candles burning unattended and never sleep in a room with burning candles. Make sure you don’t have too many items on one outlet or extension cord. Be careful on ladders and with decorations. Don’t drink & drive. Don’t text or talk while driving. The holidays are the busiest travel times. A fi rst aid kit in both your car and your home is always a good idea Many of us bring our plants in for the cold weather. They may be poisonous to your animals and people. When my twin granddaughters were three, one of them thought my rubber plant looked good enough to eat. We saw her do it and she was fi ne. However my rubber plant has teeth marks. I told people it was a dinosaur bug that tried to eat it. Our pets can get seriously sick or die from eating things we eat all the time. Don’t let your guests feed them stuff from the table. Onions, Garlic, Chives, Grapes, Raisins, Cloves, Chocolate, large amounts of liver and your medicine can hurt them. Keep coin lithium batteries away from
them and your grandchildren. Surprisingly canned tuna is harmful to cats and most cats are lactose-intolerant – so no dairy products. Defi nitely no alcohol or yeast. It has the same effect on their livers and brains as it does on us but it takes far less to do damage. Because of a cat’s size, 2 teaspoons of whisky can put it in a coma. Caffeine can be fatal to a small animal. Fat trimmings and bones are bad for their stomachs. Raw eggs, fish or meat are not good for you or your pet. Did you know that cats should not eat dog food on a regular basis and that your cookies, cake and ice cream can give them diabetes? Many pet foods are often recalled. Check yours for this. Leave the leaf blowing and the snow shoveling to those who are healthy enough to do it. If you can, you may want to do a little at a time. If you can’t, be realistic, listen to your wife. Hire someone to do it. If you are healthy enough to do your own, maybe you can help your neighbor with theirs and then come and join the fi rst aid squad. Remember the weather is constantly changing from day to day and sometimes from morning to afternoon. Make sure you are wearing the right clothing. If you are working in the yard make sure that the clothing you wear to start is not over heating you as you work. You don’t want to be in cold wet clothing. It is called “Trauma Naked” when I cut it off of you and you wouldn’t want it to lose your favorite sweater. I simply have no regard for the price tag when I’m cutting because your life may depend on it. For more holiday safety questions and tips, if you have a computer, check out the nsc.org/home-saftey. All the volunteer squads need more volunteers. Come to 100 Port Royal and volunteer for an interesting and rewarding job. We cover an area that includes 1,0765 homes. Have a safe, happy and healthy holiday!

Ocean County Offers Help With Medicare Part D Plans
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Office of Senior Services offers one-onone help for clients needing assistance navigating the 2019 Medicare Prescription Drug Plans. “It’s important our seniors have the opportunity to review and choose the appropriate plan that is suitable for their needs. Each year we fine-tune this outreach to make it as convenient as possible for our seniors and their caregivers,” Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, Chairman of Senior Services said. “We have been providing one-on-one assistance annually to help citizens navigate these important health care programs that can often be complex and change each year.” Those sessions, called “Medicare Part D Days,” will be starting Oct. 17. Assistance will be offered at the County Connection at Ocean County Mall on Oct. 17 and 23, and Nov. 1, 8, 14, 28 and 29, and Dec. 5. Appointments are available 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. “The County Connection has become an important focal point for this kind of assistance to our seniors,” Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, who serves as liaison to the County Connection, said. “It provides an easily accessible and comfortable environment for our seniors to get help on important matters like Medicare Part D.” One-on-one assistance will be offered at three area senior centers. The Jackson Senior Center, 45 Don Connor Blvd., will have appointments available 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 30. The Plumsted Township Senior Outreach Services, 121 Evergreen Road, will hold appointments 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 16. The Little Egg Harbor Municipal Build-
ing, 665 Radio Road, will have one-onone sessions from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 30. “I am pleased that we can continue to offer this one-on-one assistance by also bringing the program to some of our senior centers,” Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said. “With almost 170,000 seniors living in Ocean County, this outreach is invaluable.” To schedule an appointment, call 732288-7777 and ask for Donna. Other Medicare Information Sessions Available Seniors can get information about Medicare options at the Medicare Plan Finder, Medicare.gov. Open enrollment runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7. The county will be holding Medicare information seminars throughout the county. 10 a.m. Oct. 25 at the Jackson Senior Center, 45 Don Connor Blvd. 10 a.m. Nov. 13 at St. Martha’s Church, 3800 Herbertsville Road, Point Pleasant. 2 p.m. Nov. 13 at the Brick Senior Center, 373 Adamston Road. 2:30 p.m. Nov. 27, Lakewood branch of the Ocean County Library, for Spanish speakers. “Even if you have a plan, you should evaluate it by asking yourself the following questions: Will your current plan’s premium and costs change in 2019? Will the prescription drugs you take be covered in 2019? Are you satisfied with your plan’s customer service?” Vicari said. “We are here to help you answer these and any other important questions you may have.” For appointments at the main office of the Ocean County Office of Senior Services at 1027 Hooper Ave., call 732-929-2091.
Stay Out. Stay Alive.
By Jennifer Peacock SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Stay out. Stay alive. That’s the message Seaside Heights officials have for would-be swimmers in an October ocean. This past week saw one swimmer rescued on Oct. 2 at the Dupont Avenue Beach, and two teens pulled from rip currents the next day at Sumner Avenue Beach. Borough officials are reminding everyone that swimming is permitted only when lifeguards are on duty. The beaches won’t be guarded again until Memorial Day weekend next year. “When you enter the ocean, especially under the conditions that have existed since early September - rip tides and large breaking waves - you risk not only your own life, but also the lives of dozens of first responders who receive the alert similar to the alert uploaded in this post,” the borough posted to its Facebook page Oct. 4. There was another call for help Oct. 4 at Webster and Hamilton avenues,
again, for another swimmer. Dozens of emergency workers responded to pull this person from the ocean. “Three rescue stations, half a dozen police officers, and EMS units were detailed. Dozens of f irst responders driving to their buildings and to the scene. High risk just to get to the scene. Then the risk of launching boats and jet skis and personnel into the ocean water in difficult conditions - because of a single careless person thinking that it was a good idea to disregard warning signs and put our volunteers and career public safety officers in harm’s way,” the social media post rebuked. “STAY OUT, STAY ALIVE.” “As for the questions on the impact on first responders and what response the police will have, simply put, first responders are dispatched and do everything to ensure the safety and well-being of the public,” Seaside Heights Police Det. Steve Korman told Jersey Shore Online.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCT 13 - OCT 19
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): A little flirtation goes a long way. You might feel like a magnet this week, attracting people who can inspire ideas and support your goals, but someone may not be there for a romantic rendezvous. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t get in over your head. You may take on more than you’re capable of doing because you wish to appear cooperative. A partner or spouse may seem harsh or manipulative this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Impress someone by doing rather than talking in the week ahead and you will become someone’s new superhero. Don’t make important investments, rack up credit card bills, or borrow money. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take some decisive steps toward achieving your goals as this week unfolds. Someone harbors a secret passion for you and is just waiting for a green light, but the light is red this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your instincts may betray you in the week to come. Don’t let the little things get to you. A minor suspicion could snowball into something unwieldly if you don’t keep your imagination in check. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Endless bills and endless expenses could put your nerves on edge. It might seem that someone fed laxatives to your bank account by the time this
week is done. Take as few risks as possible. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There can be only one leader. Conflicts may arise if you try to take charge of a situation or throw your weight around in the upcoming week. It may be wise to maintain a low profile. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It is possible that you think that something, or someone, is quite desirable. Your heart is in the right place in the week to come, but someone else’s heart might not be keeping pace. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep your balance if you walk on the cutting edge. In the week to come your appreciation of advanced technological techniques could create a bond with others who value your expertise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may need to do your best Joe Friday imitation today with “just the facts, ma’am.” Be sure to have all the figures and details in hand before making presentations to peers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An infatuation can interfere with your best interests in the week ahead. You may be under pressure to pursue a career objective. Your social life can interfere with your work schedule. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have long range vision when it comes to business and financial security. However, you might let pocket money slip through your fingers. Steer clear of spending sprees this week.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen AddThis Easy Autumn Side DishToYour Repertoire For Everyday Dinners And Special Occasions By Wolfgang Puck
When I first began cooking in the United States in the mid-1970s, an unassuming little compact head of pale-yellow and cream-colored leaves called Belgian endive mystified my restaurant guests. This vegetable often led them to ask, “What’s this?” To this day, I still think Belgian endive is misunderstood and underappreciated - but I hope to get you excited about it! Belgian endive is in its peak season now through springtime, though you can find it year-round. You may have eaten it raw as a salad leaf. It has a beautiful shape and color, along with a refreshingly crisp yet tender texture, and it has a pleasingly mild trace of palate-cleansing bitterness. You may know Belgian endive best for its use in hors-d’oeuvres, with each separated leaf - about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) long, its sides curved up to form a perfect channel - becoming the perfect vessel for softened cheese, hummus, egg salad or some other dip or salad. That kind of presentation, and Belgian endive itself, first became widespread in the U.S. back in the 1980s. So it may surprise you to know that Belgian endive’s origins date back almost a century and a half before that. True to its name, the vegetable does come from Belgium. That’s where, in the 1830s, a farmer stored in his cellar some chicory roots, which were commonly dried and ground as a coffee substitute. After leaving his farm for several months to serve in the military, he returned to find that the roots had sprouted, forming spear-shaped heads that proved to be delightful. Back in its home country, Belgian endive is destined more often for the stovetop than the hors d’oeuvre tray. Slowly cooking the whole heads in a little liquid - the method known as braising - transforms them. They turn meltingly tender while still retaining a trace of crispness; and their flavor turns mellow, perfectly balanced by a hint of bitterness. I’ve always enjoyed the results, and I love to serve braised endives as a side dish with all kinds of roast, grilled, broiled or sauteed meat, poultry or seafood; or as part of a meal centered on a variety of vegetable, bean and grain dishes. Look for Belgian endive in any wellstocked supermarket or the local farmers’ market. For the best texture and flavor, choose pale-colored, compact heads. When you’re cooking many heads together, as you will in my recipe for braised Belgian endive, be sure to select ones of similar size, so they’ll all cook in the same amount of time. And don’t hesitate to buy more than
the dozen heads I call for. After all, you should still feel free to cut up the leaves for your salads - or separate and fill them for hors-d’oeuvres! BRAISED BELGIAN ENDIVE Serves 6 12 medium-sized heads Belgian endive Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 2 teaspoons sugar 1 lemon, juiced 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon minced Italian parsley Preheat the oven to 500 F (260 C). Meanwhile, with a small, sharp knife, carefully cut shallow notches about 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep across the stem end of each head of endive, which will help them cook more evenly. In a shallow, ovenproof saute pan large enough to hold the endives side by side, arrange the endives in a single layer. Pour in enough cold water to cover them halfway. Season lightly, but evenly, with salt and white pepper. Sprinkle evenly with the sugar and lemon juice. Dot evenly with small pieces of 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter. Cut a piece of parchment paper to a size just large enough to fit inside the pan. Place the paper on top of the endives. Place a heavy, heatproof plate on top of the parchment paper to weight it down. Put the pan on the stovetop. Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Then, transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the bases of the endives are tender enough to be pierced easily with the tip of a small, sharp knife, 35 to 40 minutes; check every 10 minutes or so to make sure the liquid in the pan has not evaporated. If necessary, carefully remove the pan to add a little boiling water. When the endives are done, remove the pan from the oven and set aside to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. If you plan to serve the endives right away, hold the plate in place and carefully drain off the liquid from the pan; if not, store the endives in their cooking liquid in a covered container in the refrigerator. Before serving, heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat until foamy. Drain off any liquid from the endives, and place them in the pan. Saute, turning the endives occasionally with kitchen tongs, until they are golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a heated platter, and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
