By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – There are six people running for two, three-year spots on the Board of Education. A candidates night was held by the Manchester Township Parent Teach-
er Association in the high school auditorium where each candidate gave an opening and closing statement, and read prepared answers to a handful of questions they were given beforehand. Each candidate took
a turn on the stage. Incumbent Board President Donald Webster Jr. was the f irst to speak. He said that with the district facing serious challenges, it needs an experienced board member like himself to steer the ship. The
challenges he referred to include the cuts in state aid and the eventual development of the Heritage Minerals tract. The retired financial advisor spoke of his experience on the school b o a rd , a nd h av i ng been the president of
Somebody CARES Looking For Volunteers By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – You’ve read the news. Heard from friends and family. It’s rough out there. People are hurting. And here you are, trying to figure out how to help. There are organizations nearby that specialize in helping others. And guess what? They need help, too. Somebody CARES is looking for you. Yes, you. They need drivers for just a few hours a week. Who will you be driving? Your neighbors. There are many, many people in Whiting who can’t drive any more. But they still need to

a r ide somewhe r e, and they call in. The dispatcher sends a car arou nd. T he d r iver picks someone up and drops them off at their location. Then, when the doctor’s appoint-
ment is done, they call again and get picked up and dropped off at their house. Easy as that. The thing is, the demand is much greater than the number of drivers. That’s why the organization is actively looking for more. The entire operation is volunteer, and it’s getting harder to find volunteers, said Pat Zyla, the executive director of Somebody CARES. A lot of seniors still have to work to support themselves and they can’t spare the time to volunteer. There are a lot of people who get sedentary (CARES - See Page 8)
the New Jersey School Boards Association, which will give him “an informed perspective” on how to accomplish goals in the most fiscally responsible way. In the future, he’d like to see the district expand their efforts
on career-oriented education, because the college path is not right for everyone. Sarita Dodd was next, and she spoke of her time in the PTA, and working as a paraprofessional (Board - See Page 4)
Officer David Fusaro Takes Sergeant’s Oath
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – There’s a new sergeant in the Manchester Township Police Department. Officer David Fusaro was promoted to sergeant during a ceremony Oct. 3. Mayor Ken Palmer administered the Sergeant Oath. Fusaro was joined by his family, including father Sam, a councilman on the township council. The opening was a result of a recent retirement. Fusaro started his law enforcement career with the Seaside Heights Police Department. He was hired by Manchester in 2007, and joined its investigations bureau in 2015. Fusaro has served as a field training officer, domestic violence county liaison, fi rearms instructor, and Megan’s Law liaison. He also cofounded the Elite Law Enforcement Fitness (Oath - See Page 8)

in the district. She felt that, since students learn differently, they should be matched with a teacher whose teaching style could work best for them. Additionally, she thinks that the focus should start with the child’s abilities and grow with them, rather than starting with a state-mandated test and progressing toward that. Manchester has wonderful academics, but the education should address the “whole child.” “I believe every child is born for success” and it’s the adults’ responsibility to help them attain that success, she said. Anthony Goltsch, who owns the Golden Goose custom jewelry store in Rumson, said he could pair his business background with his love for the town to be a strong board member. He said he had asked school employees how many times a board member visited the school and the answer was “never.”

Public Schools the standard against which other districts are measured,” he said. Board of Education member Christopher Nolan, who is the sixth candidate, was unable to attend due to a family emergency. The Manchester Times reached out to him to get his comments as well. He has been on the Board of Education for three years. He grew up in a family of teachers, has a degree in early childhood education, but found his calling as a chef for 25 years. The biggest responsibility school officials have is to prepare students for a future, despite that the world is quickly changing, he said. It’s hard to predict what skills will be needed when technology changes constantly. The teaching staff must be supported, since they don’t get as much respect as they deserve. “I came from a line of (teachers) and I know how hard it is,” he said.

demand too much time from school staff, leaving less attention to others in the class, doing them a disservice. Children also need to have more choices in their later education, so she said she’d like to see more electives. There are also a lot of great programs at the county vocational school, but parents aren’t told about them. Bryan Jenner is a retired music teacher who supervised education students for Monmouth University. He would like to see students get more real-world experience as part of their education. Project-based and technology-based lessons will allow students to think critically and work collaboratively. He also wanted to see more individual attention given to the youngest students. He said the district needs to engage with the community more, saying that often he is the only member of the public at Board of Education meetings. He’d also like to see the meetings get recorded and broadcast for residents. “I know I can make Manchester Township

School security is improving, but he said that Class II or III officers are needed. A camera system with a live feed to the police department is another option. The district was slow to address an issue with one of his own children, he said. The issue was noticed in kindergarten but not addressed until second grade. He feels that the district needs to work on early childhood education to remove roadblocks some children might have during these critical years. Gayle Mount is a special education teacher in Brick, and was on the Manchester Board of Education for six months in 2017. She also spoke of reaching the early learners, and see where they are struggling, to provide the best framework for their growth. “Not all kids are placed where they need to be for their personal growth and the growth of their peers,” she said. By this, she meant that children should be placed in the environment where they are most likely to succeed and not impede on the progress of others. Some students have needs that

It’s amazing how the drivers get to know the passengers and strike up friendly conversation, said Karen Kologie, who coordinates the Dial-A-Ride program. “They’re all very giving people,” she said. And helping them is the best way to do that. After all, it just might be you who depends on others for a ride in a few short years. They are looking for drivers who can help out for a few hours a week, taking four hour
shifts within an 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. window. You need a clean driving record. Somebody CARES will provide the vehicle, insurance, and training. If you’re interested, call 732-350-2900. If you can’t drive anymore, the service can literally be a lifesaver, allowing you to make it to doctor appointments. But, they also go to the post office, banks, and grocery stores. The service is free, but a $2 donation is welcome. Somebody CARES is financed by a foundation, but the donation helps extend that foundation. The organization does not get any money from the government. All support comes from residents and the business community.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Social Security Increase Welcome, But Not Enough From The Desk Of
Congressman Chris Smith WASH I NGTON, D.C. – The 2.8 percent Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) increase for seniors is better than last year, but still not reflective of the real costof-living increases seniors face, said Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th), who is pushing for
legislation to establish a more accurate cost-of-living adjustment mechanism for seniors. “While a 2.8 percent increase is an improvement upon the previous benefits, the reality is that it still does not meet the needs of today’s seniors,” Smith
said. “We must ensure that the benefits they earned are an up-to-date reflection of their daily needs, and this will require a new and more accurate measurement of their costof-living. “Social Security is a sacred trust, and we must honor this trust by strengthening this program to ensure that the benefits meet the needs of those who rely on them for their livelihood,” Smith said. S o c i a l S e c u r it y C o s tof-Liv i ng Adju st ment s (COLA) are currently tied
to the Consu mer Pr ice Index. Smith has supported the creation of new measu rements to more accurately reflect the costs of goods and services that today’s seniors face, such as healthcare spending. Smith has cosponsored the CPI for Seniors Act (HR 2016), a bipartisan bill requiring the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to develop and publish a new monthly index, the Consumer Price Index for Seniors, that measures changes in consumer spending more typical for Americans
age 62 and older. “We need to base future Cost- of-Livi ng Adjustments (COLA) on items that seniors spend their money on, such as medical procedures, medication, and Medicare premiums. These are the cost-of-living expenses that most strongly inf luence a senior’s household budget,” Smith said. “I will continue fight for a revised COLA formula that gives more accurate weight to the types of expenses seniors endure - so that the annual COLA keeps pace
with expenses more typical of seniors’ cost-ofliving.” More than 67 million Americans will see the 2.8 percent benefit increase for Social Security and Supplement al Secu r it y Income (SSI) benefits, the Social Security Administration announced, and the increased payments will take place beginning Dec. 31, 2018. The adjustment was due to an increase in the Consumer Price Index from the third quarter of 2017 th rough the thi rd quarter of 2018.
State Opposes IRS Rules About Tax Credits For Charitable Giving
TRENTON – Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal led a coalition of Attorneys General calling on the Trump Administration to rescind its “arbitrary” plan to impose new tax rules that undermine efforts by states like New Jersey to promote charitable giving and provide relief to their local taxpayers. In a letter sent to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Charles P. Rettig, Attorney General Grewal submitted comments opposing the planned new tax rules as “contrary to law” and “misguided as a matter of policy.” The Trump Administration enacted a tax overhaul in December 2017 that placed, for the first time, a $10,000 cap on the federal deduction for state and local taxes (SALT). On May 4, Governor Phil Murphy responded by signing S1893/A3499 into law. The new law allows state residents to make charitable contributions to their local governments and to receive partial tax credits of up to 90 percent when they do so. The IRS has now announced its intent to change its longstanding policy of treating such charitable contributions as deductible.
Instead, the agency plans to require taxpayers to subtract the value of any tax credits they receive from their charitable contribution deductions. The new requirement is unprecedented in the 101year history of the charitable deduction. “The IRS’s about-face represents bad law and bad public policy,” said Attorney General Grewal. “The IRS should have stood by its longstanding view that tax credit programs like New Jersey’s are lawful. Instead, the IRS’s new rules harm the many individuals, charities, and governments that have come to depend on existing state charitable programs. I’m proud to lead a coalition of Attorneys General opposing the proposed rules as dangerous and illegal, and I promise to challenge the IRS in court if it goes through with its plans.” Attorney General Grewal’s letter notes that the majority of states have programs that offer tax credits to individuals who make charitable contributions to qualifying institutions. More than 100 programs exist in 33 states, the letter explains, which incentivize individuals to donate to causes ranging from natural resource preservation and domestic violence
shelters to financial aid for higher education. The IRS’s plan would undermine all these programs. The letter explains that the proposed rules would be unlawful in multiple ways. For one, the IRS has previously treated contributions made pursuant to these programs as deductible under the Internal Revenue Code. “Had Congress wished to revise the Code so as to reverse this long-standing precedent,” Attorney General Grewal’s letter explains, “it would have done so in clear terms. It has not done so, including in the most recent federal tax overhaul.… It is not within the IRS’s rulemaking power to usurp Congressional authority and overrule a tax law principle that has been unquestioned for more than 100 years.” Further, the letter adds, “the IRS’s proposal would prejudice states and localities relative to foreign governments. Indeed, while a taxpayer would be required to subtract the value of SALT credits from a charitable deduction, the receipt of a foreign tax benefit would leave the same charitable deduction unchanged.” And finally, the IRS proposal - together with a “clarification” the IRS is-
sued for business taxpayers on September 5 - would favor corporations over people “because corporations could still deduct charitable contributions that trigger SALT credits while individuals could not.” For all of these reasons, the letter criticizes the proposed IRS rules as “an exercise in law-making rather than
statutory interpretation.” The letter also argues that the proposed new rules are troubling as a matter of policy as well. Because programs like New Jersey’s “do not provide dollar-for-dollar tax credits and therefore yield a net increase in state and local revenues,” the IRS’s efforts to undermine these programs end up “de-
priving state and local governments of the revenue necessary to sustain vital public services.” “The IRS should abandon its proposed rules,” Attorney General Grewal argues in the letter, “and restore its previous practice of allowing full deductions for charitable contributions that trigger SALT credits.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Who Really Benefits From Increase In Minimum Wage? Just read another politician, the Gover nor and Craig McLoughlin thinks it is great to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. They want to give everyone a livable wage. However, they are not saying that when wages go up, so do prices. This raise in salaries is almost 100 percent. That fast food h a mbu rge r you wa nt may now cost you seven or eight dollars plus a drink and fries. Have you seen this cost of living increase in your social security, pension checks or veterans’ benefits? The second part of this is, what kind of raise that must be given to workers who make $20 an hour after years of service to balance this $15 governmental raise? Are we now going to pay them $38 dollars an hour for the same work? Realistic businesses will always pass the cost on to the consumer with smaller size or lower grade products. We have some people in entry level positions that have very few skills and no intention on improving themselves. Entry level means entering the work force for the first time and you need to improve your skills in order to get a higher wage. Entry level positions were for students to put a few dollars in their pockets while in school. Not to support yourself in life So, if this comes to
p a s s , you r e c e ive a raise, prices go up dramatically and you are in the same boat as you were before. But wait there is a bright side to this! The incomes tax goes up. Let’s say the tax is 25 percent on a dolla r. So, you are taxed 25 cents on every dollar you earn. Now at two dollars you are taxed 50 cents on your hourly wage. For example, if you ear n $315 a week after taxes you take home approximately $236.25. The government gets $78.75. Now, at $15 an hour for the same 35 - h o u r wo r k we e k you ea r n $525 af t e r taxes you take home is $393.75. The gover n ment s sha re now is $131.25. WOW the government has almost doubled thei r (you r) money. More money for their family members, political donors who they employ and their pet projects. Entry level is entry level, not career sust ai n i ng. T hat comes with the development of skills and education. Businesses will pay the price to lure better employees. Please don’t be fooled by the bleeding hearts saving they are going to get you more money. They are not; they are look ing for votes and are going to get themselves more money. Captain R.M. Silva Toms River

Letters To The Editor Trump’s Behavior Will Live In Infamy President Trump is to be given credit for a number of international, national and economic achievements. It appears that strong leadership is valued and perhaps more capable of progress than those who take a more timid approach. Hopefully, none of these accomplishments will unravel as time passes, as feared by many analysts. For now, however, there is reason to be pleased, by most if not all people. However, in addition to administrative ability there must also be respect, civility and dignity. America has weathered many wars, economic declines, international strife as well as internal disharmony but through it all those who served as presidents, regardless of political party, met the challenges with conduct that inspired rather degraded and we came through them stronger and prouder. Sadly, when history is written, President Trump will be remembered more for his conduct than achievements. At a time when bigotry is rampant, crimes in many cities are on the rise and bullying has become a crisis, our president has emboldened those who represent the worst in conduct, hate and cruelty. Perhaps the president recognized that more Americans than we would like to believe are not the kind, folksy people often depicted in the media or who we thought were
our lovely, decent neighbors. Letters To The Editorvote for Bob Hugin to unseat Trump Inspires If Trump can energize people to almost riotous laughter and applause when he degrades women, immigrants (forgetting we are all descendants of immigrants), the handicapped, a captured war hero, those who disagree with him or fail to compliment him and cannot even bring himself to denounce white supremacists in order to maintain and grow his political base, those who are decent Americans are in big trouble. Dictators who brought war, death and destruction to millions also rallied crowds by similar inflammatory rhetoric and conduct. What hope can we have for our children and grandchildren who repeatedly witness the president of the United States and American citizens, not illegals who fled persecution and hunger, behave in this despicable and frightening manner? As we sing “God Bless America” hopefully we will once again become the decent and inspirational America we once were. Those who recognize the dangers c-15onfronting us must work to halt our rapid decline into hate and indignity mindful of the great film, “It’s A Wonderful Life” where a decent man who lost hope was able to see what life would be like when people like him would be replaced by those similar to those we see and hear at Trump’s political rallies.

Economic Growth After the end of the Great Recession of 2008, President Obama led us through the worst recovery period in modern American economic history. Leading with disastrous policy such as his signature failure, the Affordable Care Act, the economy never had a chance. Even though the Federal Reserve jumped in and saved his bacon by propping up the economy with endless quantitative easing measures, and unheard of zero percent interest rates throughout his two terms, we were stuck in a quagmire of what I call the era of resignation toward lackluster growth. With the election of President Trump, things changed overnight. Something no one seems to want to talk about suddenly came on the scene. It’s called consumer confidence, and it travels through the country across all political spectrums. Obamanites want to take credit for laying the groundwork for this success but the fact is the confidence wasn’t there then and it won’t be there should we return to more failed democratic policy that can no longer be propped up. Despite what anyone may think of the president personally, it is plain to see that his initiative has inspired economic growth. Anti-Trumpers would snuff out this economic growth just to be rid of their hated foe. America cannot continue its leadership role for western civilization unless we remain economically on top. Right now Trump is staring down China in a trade war where the victor will reign supreme. This November’s midterm elections represent a referendum on the Trump agenda, and an opportunity to show the world Americans are serious about that role. This November 6, in the 3rd district, vote for Tom MacArthur. Even more importantly, in the 2nd district, vote for an ardent Trump supporter, the liberty-loving Seth Grossman. Statewide,
the corrupt Robert Menendez. Lastly vote no on the bond issue as it contains a clause that could raise your property tax bill. Every vote counts, the choice is ours: continue the consumer era of the present administration or return to the lackluster days of the resignation era. Your economic viability may come down to your individual vote. James M. Spickard Little Egg Harbor
Smith’s Healthcare Voting Record Risks Lives Healthcare is important to my family. Last year my brother received treatment through the Affordable Care Act that saved his life. Congressman Chris Smith voted against the ACA when it passed in 2010. Over the next 6 years, he voted multiple times to restrict or repeal many of the provisions, but the legislation failed. If Smith had been successful, my brother’s story might be very different. In July 2017, when the ACA was in danger of being repealed, Smith repeatedly refused to hold an open meeting to hear our concerns. We resorted to letters, phone calls, and rallies outside his office. Only after this outpouring from voters did Smith agree to vote against the repeal. How will he vote the next time? I don’t know. How will he vote on proposed changes to Medicare and Social Security? I don’t know. Smith’s track record does not inspire me with confidence. I want someone I can trust to represent my family. I want Josh Welle. Over the last few months he has held multiple open town hall meetings. He has listened to voters on many issues. He understands the importance of healthcare. On November 6, I am voting to protect my family. I am voting for Josh Welle. Rosemary Wright Ocean Grove

Unclaimed Veterans Buried In Committal Ceremony
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Members of the military past and present have a philosophy of never leaving a comrade behind, even in death. Members of several veteran service organizations, under the Mission of Honor program, made sure that didn’t happen recently with the group’s 30th committal ceremony which saw the burial of nine veterans. Jackson American Legion member Barry J. Kakos explained the purpose of the Mission of Honor prior to the ceremony held at the George S. Hassler Funeral Home. It involves deceased veterans who have been cremated and whose remains have not been claimed by their family. “By state law the funeral homes can not dispose of the cremains and must keep them. We seek out their information with the cooperation of the funeral directors to verify their military service and contact the family with a registered letter. If they do not respond we are able to take custody of the them and can arrange a proper burial for them in a military cemetery,” Kakos said. Nine veterans were honored and found closure through the cooperation several funeral home leaders. They were George S. Hassler, who owns the township-based f uneral home and his son, Br ian T. Hassler, who manages it, along with the directors of the M. David Demarco Funeral Home in Monroe Township and the Dubois Funeral Home, Audubon, the. Five of the veterans were Jackson residents. They included Lawrence H. Bishop, an Army World War II veteran whose remains were abandoned 35 years ago. George Council, an Air Force veteran who served in the Korean War, whose remains were abandoned a decade ago, Leo W. Feltman, an Army veteran who
served in World War II, whose remains were abandoned 35 years ago. John T. Swanton also served in the Army and fought in World War II. His remains were abandoned 31 years ago. Harold A. Nagely, a Navy veteran also served in World War II. His remains were abandoned 29 years ago. Also buried were Donald MacGuigan who served in peacetime in the Army and whose remains were abandoned 13 years ago. Army veteran Merritt T. Green also served in World War II while Winfred J Wiest served in the Army and fought in World War I. Clyde E. Reeves was a Navy veteran who served in World War II. Each of their remains had been abandoned more than 30 years ago. “Our objective is to find them and them a proper funeral with military honors,” Kakos said. He added that the group is trying to bring more awareness of the group’s work to funeral home directors across the state Following the ceremony, which was attended by members of the Jackson American Legion Post 504, the Marine Corps League, Rolling Thunder, Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little and other dignitaries, the remains were transported for an interment ceremony at the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Wrightstown, Burlington County. There were more than 30 motorcycles from the Legion Riders and Rolling Thunder, over 40 privately owned vehicles and a police escort non-stop from Hassler to the Brigadier Doyle Veteran Cemetery with Jackson. Plumsted and State Police blocked over 20 intersections. Jackson Post 504 American Legion (Veterans - See Page 26)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
How To Increase The Longevity Of Your Hearing Aid
Statistically, hearing-impaired patients replace their hearing aids about every four years. Additionally, during that four-year period, your hearing aid may have to go back to the manufacturer for repair at least three to five times ... Why? The most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is wax build up in the receiver port. Those metal picks that your dispenser provides you with (for cleaning purposes) are problematic. In my opinion, you should clean your hearing aid with a soft toothbrush while holding the receiver port of your hearing aid down towards the floor (so the wax will not fall back into your hearing aid). The second most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is moisture build up, which can cause your hearing aid to work intermittently. In this case, a dry aid kit is very useful in removing moisture from your hearing instrument (particularly during the more humid summer months). A third reason for hearing aid malfunction is that most patients do not receive routine follow-up
services. In my own practice, patients return to the office at either three-month or six-month intervals for cleaning and adjustment of their instruments. Just like your car needs an oil change every 3,000 miles, your hearing aid needs to be checked at least twice a year by your hearing health-care professional. In summary, if you follow these steps, you will increase the life of your hearing aid: 1. Clean your hearing aid every day with a soft toothbrush. 2. Open the battery door at night to prolong the life of your battery. 3. Ask your hearing health-care professional for a dry aid kit to alleviate moisture build up in your hearing aid. 4. Schedule routine follow-up visits with your hearing health-care professional at least two or three times per year. 5. Routinely have your ears cleaned or checked by either your family physician or ear, nose and throat doctor.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Three DIY Essential Oils To Help You Relax And Sleep By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
One of the most powerful attributes of essential oils is that they contain powerful compounds with constituents in them that promote relaxation. It’s fun to experiment with oils because they work! Doctors from around the world have used oils to relax patients prior to surgery, ease depression and anxiety, and impact GABA receptors, which calm us down. Fragrances instead of pills, it’s a novel idea, right?! In one fascinating study, researchers learned that sniffing Jasmine essential oil may be as effective as commonly prescribed barbiturates or benzodiazepines when it comes to inducing calm and sleepiness. Essential oils do not pose serious adverse health risks or side effects such as daytime drowsiness, morning hangovers or tolerance withdrawal. Also, unlike OTC sleep aids, they don’t induce anticholinergic side effects such as constipation, blurry vision and dry mouth. The easiest way to get essential oils into your blood stream within seconds is to inhale them. Pour a few drops onto the palms of your hands, rub together and inhale deeply. Do this 3 to 5 times then rub your palms onto your neck, or the bottoms of your feet. My favorite way to use essential oils at night is in a diffuser. You can add a few different oils to the diffuser and enjoy better sleep. Here are a few ideas to get you started: 1. Lavender Dreams - If there’s one, num-
ber one proven oil to relax the body and mind, ease melancholy, and enhance sleep, it’s lavender. Combine lavender essential oils with any number of other oils for great sleep. For example, you could mix it with vetiver, frankincense or calendula. My favorite is 3 drops lavender combined with 3 drops sandalwood (equal mix) plus 1 drop of bergamot, all in my little diffuser by the bed. I nicknamed it lavender dreams, lol. 2. Sleep Like a Baby Blend - Another blend for enhanced sleep and relaxation is below. Depending on the size of your diffuser, you may want to use fewer drops, but either way, keep the ratio the same: • 4 drops clary sage essential oil • 4 drops ylang-ylang essential oil • 4 drops of Roman chamomile • 2 drops wild orange (or bergamot) Clary sage, ylang-ylang, and Roman chamomile are wonder ingredients for promoting relaxation, curbing anxiety, and clary sage is especially effective for helping women balance hormones, including fat-storing cortisol, which leads to belly fat. 3. The Knock Out Blend - For when sleep seems the farthest thing from your mind, and you’ve been in front of that computer all day, with all that circadian-disrupting blue light pouring into your eyeballs, this is the blend I really recommend. Combine 3 drops each of frankincense, bergamot, and sandalwood essential oils. Instead of filling your home with synthetic perfumes that have hundreds of strange artificial chemicals, try natural essential oils.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Title Insurance: Why Every Purchaser Needs It
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Dina M. Vicari, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Many people ask their attor neys, “what is a title search and why do I need title insurance?” Next to having the appropriate funding to purchase your new home, ensuring that the home you i ntend to pu rchase has clean or clear title is essential. All mor tgage companies require clear title. It is important to ensure that you have title insurance in the event a title issue arises after you have purchased the home. Title searchers review old deeds, mortgages and wills at the County Clerk’s office to trace the ownership history of the property. They look for any current or past mortgages, liens or judgments on the proper ty that have not been discharged as well as whether there are any tax liens or unpaid municipal utility bills. The title searchers will also examine the chain of title to confirm that the seller’s ownership rights have not been affected and that the sellers are, in fact, selling you a home without any adverse possessory or equitable interests such as pending litigation or easements. These examples are endless, but the title company performing the search has the expertise to find all relevant concerns prior to the purchase. Once the title company completes its search it will issue an insurance policy after closing which will insure you and your lender should anyone at any time in the future come knocking on your door claiming an ownership or possessory interest in your property. Should this occur, the title company will step- in and provide you with a legal defense and assume the costs of any litigation. This coverage is similar to automobile insurance after you have become involved in an automobile collision. After an automobile collision, your automobile insurer will provide you with legal assistance and take corrective measures in the
event you are sued. For t unately, unlike Dina M. Vicari Esq. automobile insurance where you pay your p r e m iu m a n nu a l ly, monthly or quarterly, your title insurance premium is paid only once at the time of closing and this one time premium will provide insurance coverage for as long as you own the home. It is also important to note that if you have a mortgage you need to obtain both a Lender’s and Owner’s policy. The Lender’s policy covers the mount of the mor tgage that is due at the time any claim is made. An Owner’s policy covers your ownership interest, which is a relatively inexpensive addition to the policy premium. In New Jersey, title insurance is usually paid by the buyer. After closing the buyer’s attorney may need to perform additional legal tasks to complete the conditions of the title policy such as filing additional deeds and discharge of mor tgages. T he pu rchaser will receive the final title policy in the mail approximately 6-8 weeks after closing. While all of this may be overwhelming, we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you th rough the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full ser vice law f ir m representing and advising clients in the areas of Wills and Trusts, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate, Medicaid, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning, Powers of Attorney and much more.

Veterans:
Continued From Page 11 Commander Dave Whelan said, “I was gratified by the overall response, especially from the Jackson American Legion Post, which had 12 members attend and we were glad that the post was able to represent the Legion here in Jackson. The addition of students from Saint Aloysius School was terrific as they lined the sidewalk along Bennetts Mills Road waving f lags as the motorcade passed. This sends a positive message to our young children.” Kakos, who serves as the local post’s finance officer and membership director, added that “it’s been 46 years since I fired my weapon in my military days in the US Army. I was proud to be able to join other Jackson Legion members and conduct the 21-gun salute outside of the Hassler Funeral Home at the conclusion of the service and to be part of the Legion honor guard as the cremains of the nine veterans were honorably escorted out of the funeral home and placed into the Hassler hearse was also a rewarding and moving experience for me.” Francis “Fran” Carrasco, the New Jersey Mission of Honor chairman, said he became involved with the program in 2009
when it formed. “There are around 600 shelves (holding unclaimed cremains) in the state. We’ve been in touch with first, second and even third generation family members, some of whom didn’t know that they had lost relatives. We’ve had ceremonies involving veterans of the Spanish American War whose remains were on a shelf for 68 years,” Carrasco said. “This gives the deceased and the families some closure. We have some relatives crying and saying they couldn’t believe we were able to find them. Sometimes it’s hard as we don’t always have their social security number or their discharge papers. It takes a lot of detective work. Sometimes it can take to as much as six months and sometimes a year as we are all made up of volunteers,” Carrasco said. Mission of Honor works not only with funeral directors but also with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs who assist them in identifying the orphaned and abandoned veteran cremains. The cremains are buried in mahogany urns which are paid for by Mission of Honor. Carrasco said that Gov. Jon Corzine passed a bill that allowed funeral directors to communicate with the MOH. “Rather than to have various veterans groups like the American Legion and
the VFW do this, it is done under one liaison which is the MOH. The government spends millions of dollars to give veterans their final rest and bring them home from foreign countries but we need to do this right here in the U.S. We do it for those in New Jersey. We are a 501(c) organization. I have put almost $10,000 into the project myself. I was originally the vice president and ran the north Jersey region while Judy (Judith A. Kapp) handles the southern end of the state.” “We have a big job. This is our 30th ceremony. The largest we had was 25 veterans at one time in a North Bergen funeral home,” Carrasco said. “My late husband Kenneth was a Marine veteran. I was already a member of several veterans organizations when I became aware of MOH. I went to a meeting and when they asked for volunteers I raised my hand. I previously worked in human resources at the Naval Lakehurst base before it became part of the Joint Base. That work experience has helped me with my work here. The veterans of this organization are like a family and these abandoned veterans are part of our family. This is very rewarding,” Kapp of Bayville said. Brian Hassler said he became aware of MOH eight years ago during a presenta-
tion made before the Monmouth-Ocean County Funeral Directors Association. “Judy did a lot of work to make it happen. A lot of funeral homes have these cremains.” His father, George Hassler, added that he was also a veteran and that “I remember seeing a C-130 plane and family members there awaiting the return of their loved ones who had died, on the tarmac. It was very sad to see. We were very happy to do what we could to help with this.” Arty Mattei works for the Hassler Funeral Home and is a member of the Forked River branch of Rolling Thunder. He prepared the necessary paperwork for the burial ceremony including the registered letters to family members. “Judy coordi nated with A r ney tow n (Brig. Gen. Doyle cemetery). I have three kids in the military and this pulls at my heartstrings.” Jackson Council President Kenneth Bressi was present for the ceremony at the Hassler Funeral home in his role as a member of the Marine Corps League. “This is a wonderful program. There are no words to describe it but it is a very good project.” For information about the Mission of Honor and how you can donate or become a volunteer, njsmissionofhonor.org.

Free Lunch Meeting To Discuss Senior Isolation And Loneliness
TOMS RIVER – The “golden years” are not always all they are cracked up to be. Far too often, older adults lose their family and friend support system and instead face the “lonely years”. On Wednesday, November 7 from 12–2 p.m., the public is invited to a free lunch forum being held at the Bishop Building of the Ocean County Library. Parking will be reimbursed for attendees. Suggestions about improving the quality of life for those who feel lonely will be gathered as well as an update of an exciting new initiative already put in place at Holiday City Carefree. Sadly, as adults age, many older Americans find their inner circle shrinking when adult children move and spouses and friends become ill or pass away. While senior living communities promise an active second
chapter, loneliness and isolation may still exist behind closed doors. A group of professionals in Toms River formed a Task Force to reduce the number of seniors who are isolated and feel lonely. Funded through a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, this Task Force has partnered with residents from Holiday City Carefree to begin a “Senior Ambassador” program. The Task Force will now like to expand its reach and hopes that the community will come together on Nov. 7 to discuss this important issue. Space is limited. For more information or to reserve your spot, please call Sylvia at Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey, 732-505-2273 or email her at info@caregivervolunteers.org by November 1.

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.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCT 20 - OCT 26
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): The good old days may not have been all that great. Touching base with a long-lost friend may soon remind you why you fell out of touch. The surest way to get others to pitch in is to be enthusiastic this week. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): A watched pot never boils. Be patient and find constructive ways to keep yourself occupied rather than feverishly awaiting important results. A family problem may consume more time than necessary this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Leave well enough alone this week. It may be better to allow a situation to go unresolved rather than to force a poorly conceived solution. You may find that is easier to get cooperation later in the week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Turn the other cheek. Don’t take a loved one’s bad mood personally as the root of their troubles likely has nothing to do with you. Matters of the heart may be stuck in neutral as this week unfolds. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make no assumptions. Unexpected events or someone changing their mind at the last second could throw your plans out of whack in the week ahead. Be sure to act like a professional when handling business matters. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t take anything for granted. Someone may not react to a situation as you expect so be sure to discuss your intentions before acting. Unnecessary suspicions may cause friction in the week ahead.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Take things seriously. Making light of a bad situation to ease tensions may rub certain people the wrong way, so proceed with caution. The coming week may provide fertile ground for finances. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t spread yourself too thin. Others may try to “guilt” you into taking on tasks that will make their lives easier but only bring you added headaches. Keep your own bases covered ahead of all else. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Good ideas are worthless if they merely stay in your head. Even if nothing comes of it, keep a written log of your thoughts for future reference. This week you may get a chance to be the leader. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Clean up the clutter. Keeping something around “for old time’s sake” may simply be using up space that would be better occupied by something else. Your judgment may be better later in the week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t overestimate your abilities. While you may think that you are being charming, someone else may find it annoying. Attempts to make a good impression may fail unless you are totally honest this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): If it hasn’t worked for you in the past, stop doing it. Making changes to your approach in the week ahead could make things easier for you in the long run. Have a little faith that things will work out for the best.

Shake Up Your Autumn Brunch By Wolfgang Puck
Autumn is a perfect time to throw a brunch party. The turning leaves and cooling temperatures seem to encourage us to spend relaxed weekend mornings enjoying good food with family and friends. When it comes to planning a brunch menu, however, the big challenge becomes deciding on your main dish. When you think about it, most home cooks have fewer recipes in their morning repertoire than they do for dinner parties. So let me offer something different for your next autumn brush: my easy version of shakshouka. “What?” is probably your response. That’s not surprising, because most people in North America are less familiar with Middle Eastern, eastern Mediterranean and North African cuisines than they are with those of Europe or Asia. But from Tunisia to Turkey, Morocco to Israel, you’ll find various versions of shakshouka, a dish that gets its name from an Arabic term for “mixture.” (And doesn’t that fun-to-say word itself sound like a mixture?) Described in the broadest terms, it consists of a medley of tomatoes, peppers, herbs and spices, cooked down to a thick, chunky sauce into which eggs are broken and then cooked - in the oven or covered on the stovetop - until the whites are fully set and the yolks are still slightly runny. The eggs, of course, take on some of the flavors of the sauce, which itself provides a robust accompaniment to the featured protein. Doesn’t that sound both fresh and flavorful while also being robust and warming? And, as you’ll see from the following recipe, which I prepared recently with my fellow chef and friend Marian Getz on the Home Shopping Network, the dish is surprisingly easy and quick to make. It takes no more than about 45 minutes from when you start cutting up the vegetables to the moment you serve it. You can also easily introduce your own variations. Some cooks saute with the onions and peppers some crumbled spicy sausage. The Moroccan lamb sausage called merguez is traditional, but you could easily substitute chorizo or another favorite. If you’d like a spicier version, add some chopped fresh chile peppers along with the bell peppers, if you like; or season the sauce with other spices like ground coriander, cumin or cayenne. For a cool, creamy texture, dollops of plain yogurt may be added along with the eggs, or feta cheese can be crumbled over the entire dish. However you prepare it, oven-toasted pita bread makes a great accompaniment for sopping up the last traces of sauce. Is your mouth watering as you read this? Mine sure is! So, I hope you’ll try shakshouka for your next brunch. It’s guaranteed to hap-
pily mix up your morning menu. SHAKSHOUK A WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND BELL PEPPERS Serves 6 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 medium-sized yellow onion, halved and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1 green bell pepper, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1 red bell pepper, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 4 cups (1 L) cherry tomatoes, stemmed and cut into quarters 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) good-quality canned or bottled tomato-basil sauce Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 6 large eggs 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro or Italian parsley leaves In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer and flows freely when the pan is tilted. Carefully swirl the oil around the pan to coat the bottom. Add the garlic and onion; saute, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until they turn fragrant, about 1 minute.. Add the bell peppers; saute, stirring continuously, until they brighten in color slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes and the cherry tomatoes; saute until they begin to give up their juices, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Stir in the tomato sauce, season lightly to taste with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook until the mixture has formed a thick but still slightly fluid sauce, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, with a little more salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium With the back of a large serving spoon, spread the sauce evenly in the pan and then make 6 evenly spaced indentations in the sauce around the perimeter of the pan. One at a time, carefully break an egg into each indentation. Lightly sprinkle the eggs with a little salt and pepper. Cover the pan and cook until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks are done to your liking, about 10 minutes for yolks that are still slightly runny. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley. Present the dish in the pan on a heatproof trivet on the dining table, scooping portions of sauce and egg together onto individual serving plates.
