Miller BERKELEY – If you’re planning on heading over to Double Trouble State Park anytime soon, the state wants you to know that most areas of the park are open to hunters for the next several months.
By Chris Christopher The Monmouth University women’s soccer team enjoyed a stellar season, receiving contributions from five former local high school players. The Hawks captured their third straight Metropolitan Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament crown and their sixth consecutive MAAC regular-season championship. The latter is a MAAC record.
On the Hawks’ roster were freshman forward A’Liah Moore (Manchester Township), freshman midfielder Jill Conklin (Toms River East), midfielder-defender Jessica Johnson (a Howell Township resident out of The Hun School), sophomore (Champs - See Page 4)

Berkeley Wants New Timeline On Home Assessments By Patricia A. Miller BERKELEY – Township officials want the state to reduce the timeline for municipal tax assessors to determine how much a home’s value has increased after it has been renovated. Council members unanimously approved a resolution asking for the change in state statutes at the Nov. 19 council meeting. The resolution stemmed from the Oct. 22 council meeting, when senior citizens from the township’s retirement communities packed the council room to protest additional tax assessments some had received after improvements were made to their homes. Councilman L. Thomas Grosse Jr. asked council members to adopt a resolution that would revise the time period tax assessors have to determine a home’s value after improvements have been made. He suggested a sixmonth time period rather than the current three years. Additional assessments are new structures, or additions, or alterations of an old structure, completed after Jan. 1 and before Oct. 1, Township Tax Assessor Eric L. Zanetti had said in an email to The Berkeley Times. Few people attended the Nov. 19 council meeting, a marked contrast to the crowded Oct. 22 meeting. Township officials also held two meetings earlier this month, one in Holiday City South and one in Holiday Heights, to discuss the additional assessment issues. Zanetti has set up payment plans for any residents who needs them to pay their additional assessments, Township Administrator John Camera said. Council members also approved five payment plans for added assessments for five properties at the Nov. 19 meeting. (Assessments - See Page 6)

The Berkeley Times, December 1, 2018, Page 5 ways singing with his band and making guest appearances at events such as these. As a 16 year old, Matarazzo can claim more personal experience with how affective social media can be, whether it is good or bad. He is currently a student at Pinelands Regional High School in Tuckerton. “I think the most important thing is just to learn responsibility,” he said. “When you have a cell phone, you have a lot of power…having that little device gives you the power to make a difference in somebody’s life.” Whether that difference is good or bad is up to that person, he added. “So many people are using that power and giving off a sense of negativity.” Matarazzo related the use of social media and digital devices to both accessibility and barriers. While our phones provide us access to anything and everything through the internet, they also provide bullies with that barrier, “that distance where they’re able to say whatever they want.” Author Maria Unanue tackles this issue of bullying from both sides with her book “The Adventures of Phatty and Payaso,” stating that she wrote it “in the hopes that kids could see and learn empathy,” by putting themselves in someone’s shoes, even those of a bully, and learn forgiveness. The program brought in hundreds of people to get involved in the anti-bullying campaign. The celebrity guests, while all native to New Jersey, ranged in age and interests so that kids might perhaps identify with someone like them. Frazier is a professional baseball player, Unanue a writer, Matarazzo and Sambora, performers. Not only was this program for students who might be going through issues with bullying, but it was also for their parents. “It’s also for the parents to pay attention to what’s going on at home and try to pay attention and look for the signs of a kid that’s struggling,” said Billheimer. While “Unbreakable” was the first program of its kind set in motion, Billheimer noted that others are in the works by the prosecutor’s office. In connection with the Attorney General’s 21/21 Community Policing Project, Billheimer said to expect more events like this in the future. The 21/21 project focuses of the 21 counties in New Jersey hosting 21st century-related events to draw attention to relevant issues in our communities. “The goal of the project is to strengthen relationships between law enforcement officers and the communities they serve, and to address areas of concern before conflicts arise,” stated the AG’s website.
Continued From Page 1 One of many to come, this event was put on by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office in an effort to raise awareness and educate local students on the issues around harassment and bullying through social media. “Harassment and bullying has escalated through social media over the years,” stated a press release from the prosecutor’s office. “This program will help to address these issues in a positive manner.” Celebrity appearances were made by Richie Sambora of the legendary rock group Bon Jovi, Gaten Matarazzo of the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things,” Marie Unanue, author of “The Adventures of Phatty and Payaso,” and Gabe Hurley of the band The New Black. A surprise guest appearance was also made by none other than Toms River native and Major League Baseball player Todd Frazier. “In this world nowadays, any kind of positive feat is great, especially when we’re talking about bullying,” said Frazier during a press conference prior to the show. “I think it’s something that everyone’s been a part of in their life.” Frazier noted that positivity against bullying can help kids prosper in a way similar to his own success and “try to get the best out of everybody.” Although Frazier grew up in a time before social media became all-encompassing, he did come up through the Toms River schools and is familiar with how kids can be at that age. With his positive attitude, Frazier has gone from just a Toms River High School South baseball player to third basemen for the New York Mets. “Coming through Toms River Schools, I think it’s important,” said Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer. “The challenges now with social media are a lot different than we had.” Billhimer reminisced growing up in an era where issues were “handled” while at school. Unanue chimed in, stating that when you went home for the weekend the bullying ceased. However, social media’s invasive presence today prevents this, making some kids a target 24/7. That is what “Unbreakable” was about. The program put on a series of performances and skits to show kids that positivity and treating others how you want to be treated can make all the difference. Sambora, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist, performed Bon Jovi’s timeless hit song “Livin’ on a Prayer” in a colorful display of music and togetherness alongside the Point Pleasant Borough High School Choir. Sambora connected the issue of bullying to that of drug abuse, noting that one can sometimes lead to the other. “The victims of bullying, what happens is you ending up turning to drugs…it’s a sad attempt to cope with the pain,” he said. Sambora, a self-proclaimed “son of New Jersey” noted that he was proud to be a part of the solution at the event. The students’ voices and the exciting lights lit up the stage for both Sambora’s performance as well as Matazzaro’s performance with help from his band –Photo by Kimberly Bosco Work In Progress. While Matazzaro has just wrapped filming for season Musician Richie Sambora poses with fans at three of “Stranger Things,” he is al- the event.

The Township Council approved a plan at the Oct. 22 meeting to allow residents to pay their additional taxes via a payment plan. The council also unanimously passed a resolution against the manufacture, distribution and sales of video games that involve school shootings, at Grosse’s request. Grosse is a detective in the Toms River Police Department and a former member of the Berkeley Board of Education. “They are grossly inappropriate,” he said of the video games. “There’s got to be a million ways to make money and that’s not one of them.”

About 350 of these are in the senior communities, Zanetti has said. The added assessments apply to all properties where improvements were made, whether the improvements were made by a former owner or the current owner, he said. “If the value, when completed, is greater than the assessed value placed on the structure on Oct. 1 of the pretax years, an added assessment based on the difference must be made,” Zanetti had said. “The added assessment is pro-rated on the number of full months remaining in the tax year.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Ocean County Is Losing Some Heart As a citizen of Ocean County there was a period of years that my wife and I attended each and every Freeholders meeting. I think that gives us a perspective most people in Ocean County do not have. We feel that this is a letter that must be written. For 39 years, 14,235 days, there was a man that sat on the Freeholders board that truly cared about the citizens of Ocean County. I guess you could call him a politician. We won’t; we will call him a man with a giant heart. A man that governed with that giant heart. We saw a proud man. A man with emotion and temper when someone would speak badly of Ocean County. We saw a man that worked yearly on the county budget, that till this day carries a AAA bond rating with a surplus that he always stated was there in case we ever needed it in an emergency. He even did this
during the recession a few years back, while other counties suffered. We saw a man speak with tears swelling in his eyes and his voice cracking when Superstorm Sandy hit because he cared so much about the people and what we faced to become whole again. My wife and I are only two citizens of Ocean County, but I truly believe we saw a side of this man that others never really got the chance to see. There is a lot more that can be said about this man and the good he has done with his life. On behalf of my wife, the citizens of Ocean County and myself, I would like to say thank you. Thank you for a job more than well done and we will keep you in our prayers. God speed Freeholder John Bartlett. Craig Versheck Little Egg Harbor Township

Letters To The Editor Getting Political Money Out Of School Boards Something happened on election day that has never happened before in Lacey Township. (At least to the best of my knowledge.) Two candidates won the School Board election without spending a penny. In 2014, opposing candidates spent over $23,000 to beat me. Why, I wondered, is this volunteer office worth spending money for? It isn’t- that is if you keep the politics out of education. Well, in Lacey, I think that has finally been accomplished. The two winners spent nothing. Backed by ZERO dollars. All the signs meant nothing. The voters are paying attention! And I thank you all! I am humbled and grateful for the opportunity to serve my community in this special capacity once again. Next year, three seats are up. Please consider being a candidate. If you live in Lacey, speak, read and write English, are over age 18 and a registered voter, you are eligible. Regina Discenza Candidate-Elect, Lacey Board of Education
“Opportunity Zones” Are Just Opportunities For Investors A section of the 2017 federal tax overhaul created what are called “opportunity zones” across the U.S. and the purpose was to create economic investment in low income areas. The federal government met with state, county, and local government contacts and decisions were made where these thousands of zones would be located across our country. It is a fact that valuable tax benefits attach to land in these zones, with the
Letters To ability to defer taxes on The of projects inEditor the “opportu- protecting Barnegat Bay? gains used to invest in the development, and a chance to have no federal tax at all apply on gains on further investment in the land after 10 years. Wow. This sounds great and I found out that I own land in an opportunity zone in Berkeley Township. It is interesting that I was never contacted about it, and never told about it, and never asked about it. I have a beautiful ¾ acre vacant lot next to the Pine Beach Post Office and it can be developed as residential, professional, boatyard, or other use. I had it for sale for $200,000, and raised the price when I found out it was in an “oppor tunity zone.” It is now more valuable to someone interested in deferring a gain, and making a tax-free profit on investment on this lot. The absolutely mind-blowing thing is that I have spoken to many builders, and developers, and investors, and no one knew what an “opportunity zone” was. It seems the biggest developers only knew about it and were going to try to buy up the land from (unsuspecting) possibly uninformed vacant land owners and make a fortune from the tax benefits. The Wall Street Journal wrote about “opportunity zones” in its Oct. 24 edition, and also before that date. It is only fair that Governor Murphy and every city in New Jersey and the Department of Community Affairs notify every owner of land that is now “overlay zoned” as an “opportunity zone.” It is mind boggling to know that the land owners were not notified of the potential “overlay zoning” before the 2017 Tax Act, or afterward. The largest “informed” developers who are familiar with doing large deals with tax benefits are right now making a fortune, or planning to make a fortune, by creating large funds to invest in the development
nity zones” within 80 New Jersey cities. They are buying up land, and the owners of that land were often never told by the State of New Jersey or the local Planning Boards or zoning boards or city councils there was “overlay zoning” applicable to that parcel. The State Department of Community Affairs is the repository of all information and parcel maps about New Jersey city by city “opportunity zones.” Other states have handled their “notification” in other ways, I suppose.

Do These Agencies Talk To Each Other? On November 5, 2018, an internet news media published a story on the dredging in the channel by Green Cove Marina in the upper end of the Metedecon k River, both branches of the Beaver Dam Creek, channels for Winter Yacht Basin, Sailor’s Quay, Kettle Creek Channel and the Bay Head Cut Channel. The project plans to move 189,000 cubic yards of dredge spoils to a natural hole off Bayside Park in Normandy Beach just across from the old Thunderbird. They also plan to cap it with sand which must be purchased. Should we not be asking why the cap if there is nothing wrong with the dredge spoils? Having worked the bay for many years I am in favor of channel maintenance. However, to remove dredge spoils from point A, transport them to Point B, which is a naturally accruing hole in the bay where fish spawn and grow is just ludicrous! This project is doing nothing to make or enhance the depth and increase the life in the bay. Where are all the groups who are supposedly
How can the DEP authorize this operation never mind being the sponsor of this project? Added to this, the Army Corps of Engineers’ concern on what they are going to use to fill in the holes/ trenches on the sea floor that they have dug for the dune replenishment project. How about this idea - use these dredge spoils? Yes, it will mean taking the spoils through the canal and out into the ocean. Yes, it is a longer run to the holes off Lavallette but it doesn’t affect the bay’s life. Wow, no cost for the fill! No major increase for the transportation because the Army Corps and state can share that cost. I have seen the hopper barge, and I have ran the channels to the dump site and hope the barge can make it down the channels all the way to Normandy Beach. The environmentalists need to speak up now for the project is starting as you read this! Capt. Robert M. Silva Toms River
No Reason To Be Mean About Trump Since the beginning, the atmosphere of hatred for Donald J. Tr ump is the worst I have ever seen. No respect for our president or his presidency. Even though we all may agree to disagree, there is no reason to be destructive. Bumper stickers are ripped off cars, beating up people, using foul language, just downright meanness. What does this show our next generation? How about tr ying to do something positive, like praying for all our leaders. I for one want to thank you for the great job you are doing for this country and its citizens. May God bless America. Patricia Lasher Brick

Taking Care Of Your Eyes In Winter
By Phyllis Brown Holiday City at Berkeley EMS Just because the summer is over, don’t think the sun is not a problem. You can still get sunburned and your eyes get sunburned too. Keep your sunglasses handy. Dry eyes are a problem for many seniors all year round. The cold and snow can bring on new problems and make your eyes uncomfortable. Here are some tips to combat dry eyes and keep your sight healthy in winter: Moisturize The very dry air in winter makes it hard for your eyes to produce tears. You can use rewetting eye drops when you feel your eyes getting dry. Affordable drops can be found at your supermarket or ask your eye doctor about getting prescription drops if dryness is painful or persistent. Don’t sit too close heat sources Your home’s heat can be another cause of dry eyes. Sitting further away from heaters or radiators can make a huge difference for your eyes. The use of a humidifier can help regulate airflow and keeps your eyes (and your body) hydrated and comfortable.= Take a break from electronic devices In the winter we are more likely to stay inside and spend more time staring at a computer screen, in front of the TV or on our phones. Looking at electronics for an extended period of time causes us to blink less. This in turn keeps our eyes from producing tears. Practice the 20-2020 rule, where every 20 minutes you look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. This can help reduce digital eyestrain and actually keep your vision from deteriorating.

Sunglasses Although it may seem like the sun disappears in the winter, UV rays do not. With snow on the ground, these rays can reflect off the ground, which makes it even more important to keep your eyes protected in the winter. Be diligent about wearing protective glasses whenever you’re driving or outside for more than 15 minutes. On especially bright days, adding a hat with a brim can help reduce almost 100 percent of the harmful effects produced by the sun. Regulate your diet Eating healthy not only helps improve your vision, but can also keep your eyes from feeling achy or drying out. Drinking water and staying hydrated will help keep moisture in your eyes, and adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet will help improve their overall function. Treat eyes when they start to hurt If your eyes are bothering you, don’t just rub them and hope they start to feel better. A warm damp cloth over your eyes for 15 minutes is an easy treatment. Chronic eye pain on a daily basis, visit to your eye doctor. Goggles If you participate in outdoor winter sports, high wind speeds can irritate and pull moisture out of your eyes. This can blur your vision and even leave your eyes susceptible to dirt and debris. Find goggles that cover both of your eyes easily and have built-in UV protection. If your eye pain or irritation persists, see a doctor so get the proper care. 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.

SLEEP-DERIVED SICKNESS
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about one out of every three Americans who wear contact lenses admits to sleeping with their contacts in. The problem with this habit is that sleeping with contacts in can increase the risk of an eye infection by about 6-8 times, according to the CDC. This warning comes on the heels of case studies in which people suffered serious corneal infections after sleeping with their contact lenses in. The problem rests with bacteria’s preference for dark, damp, oxygen-deprived places in which to grow. Sleeping with contact lenses in lowers oxygen permeation and encourages bacterial growth. Sleepers’ nonblinking eyes are also deprived of the cleaning action that blinking provides for contacts. Despite some contact lenses being approved for overnight wear, it’s still not recommended. It’s important to give the eyes a break and let the cornea breathe. Other common bad habits included swimming in lenses, and not replacing disposable lenses and cases frequently enough. To schedule an eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. (732-349-5622). Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

Aqua New Jersey: Keep Wastewater Lines Clear This Holiday Season
HAMILTON – Aqua New Jersey reminds customers that they play a role in ensuring their local wastewater system operates properly, from the pipes that run from their homes and businesses to the treatment plant itself. This holiday season, Aqua offers customers the following tips for the proper disposal of fat, oil and grease: Never pour grease down sink drains or into toilets. Instead, carefully pour warm, not hot, grease into a metal can, wait for it to cool, and dispose of it in the trash. Use strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and other solids. Scrape food scraps and grease into a trash can. Aqua reminds customers that garbage disposals do not keep fat, oil and grease out of plumbing systems or prevent clogs, and that common ingredients like butter, lard, sauces and dairy products can all contribute to blockages. Homeowners should also avoid flushing any wipes down the toilet, even if they are labeled as flushable. Wipes don’t break down and are a leading cause of backups in home plumbing, and can contribute to larger blockages in wastewater systems, as well. “The holiday season is a good time to remind customers that they play a critical role in
keeping household plumbing, wastewater collection systems and treatment plants operating efficiently and effectively,” said Aqua New Jersey President John Hildabrant. “While fat, oil and grease go down the drain as liquids, they solidify and, over time, can completely block pipes and cause raw sewage backups in homes and overflows in streets. We want to make sure our customers are prepared around the holiday season to not only avoid a mess, but also the cost of repairs.” Fat, oil and grease can also clog a household grinder pump, which is a mini sewage-pumping station with one pump for an individual home. Grinder pumps are used where gravity sewer lines cannot be used. The single pump sits inside an underground tank and pumps wastewater produced in a home into the sewer line. Aqua New Jersey provides water and wastewater service to more than 165,000 people in 22 municipalities throughout Warren, Hunterdon, Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth, Camden, Gloucester and Ocean counties in the Garden State.

Stem Cells Heal Degenerative Arthritic Joints Do you want to live your life pain free? Now you can with the modern advancement in Regenerative Medicine. Patients with joint pain from past trauma or aging arthritis that have exhausted every other healing medium such as a physical therapy, chiropractic care, cortisone injections, or failed surgeries can now have the opportunity to be restored and rejuvenated. Regenerative cellular medicine is a procedure to relieve pain and regenerate unhealthy and arthritic joints. In this process, stem cells are injected directly into the damaged joint; shoulders, knees, hands, elbow or feet so they may begin the regenerative process. Regenerative cellular medicine is a safe and effective procedure. Our stem cells have little or no immune reaction and come from amniotic tissue that has been FDA approved, giving you the knowledge that they are thoroughly screened and ready to use. You want to choose stem cell treatment to heal the cause of pain and not just mask the symptoms. It is less invasive and less costly than surgery. It is nonsteroidal and promotes soft tissue growth and is a natural joint lubricant. Most patients get relief within 24 to 48 hours with little or no recovery time. We offer a free, no obligation consultation to determine if you are a candidate for this breakthrough treatment.
DO NOT LIVE ANOTHER DAY IN PAIN. YOU DESERVE TO LIVE PAIN FREE! CALL US TODAY 732-244-0222 732.244.0222 | pollackhealthandwellness.com

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Why Is Everyone Mumbling?
Does everyone around you seem to mumble? They did not use to. The answer may be that they are not mumbling at all. You may have a hearing problem. People with this problem have diff icult y hear i ng speech clearly. They hear, but they do not understand. A curious and fr ustrating aspect of this type of hearing loss is a selective loss of high frequency sounds like P, T, K, Th, S, F, etc. - sounds that add clarity to words. If you have trouble distinguishing “free” from “three,” or “shoe” from “sue,” you may have a hear i ng loss. W hy not have it checked out?
See an audiologist who can test your hearing and educate you further on how to manage your specific hearing loss. Audiologists specialize in the non-medical evaluation and rehabilitation of hearing and balance problems. T hey have deg rees i n audiology, are nationally-certified and usually have state licenses. Credentials, reputation and personality are key when choosing any hearing health care provider. Credentials like CCC-A or FAAA indicate someone with audiological experience. Make an appointment to have your hearing checked today. It just might stop the mumbling.
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.
In Praise Of Pumpkins And Pumpkin Seeds
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I love pumpkin spiced lattes and tea… pumpkin seeds on my salad and pumpkin soup! Pumpkin pie, mmm! I love all of it. Pumpkins should be eaten because of their taste, plus all their healing benefits. Let’s go over the 7 most important nutrients found in pumpkins and their seeds. Alpha and Beta Carotene - After eating pumpkin, your body converts the alpha carotene into vitamin A to help you maintain vision, a healthy immune system and a strong skeletal system. In a 2011 STUDY, researchers confirmed that high concentrations of alpha carotene are strongly correlated with a reduced risk of all the following: Cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory diseases. Another study found that those with high blood serum levels of alpha carotene were less likely to die from heart disease in their lifetime. This compound is very similar to beta carotene. Squalene - This compound promotes both skin and eye health. You might not have heard about squalene, but this antioxidant acts similarly to beta-carotene, and it protects your skin from UV light damage and other forms of potentially dangerous radiation. There is also evidence that the compound is involved in retinal health. As pumpkin seeds are an excellent natural source of squalene, eating them helps with vision and beauty. Vitamin E - Pumpkin seeds contain natural vitamin E including gamma tocopherol. Vitamin E protects the outside wall of our fragile cells and protects them from free radical damage. The gamma-tocopherol content of pumpkin seeds is particularly high, at 19 mg
per 100 gram serving. Gamma tocopherol, we have recently learned, has powerful cancer protective properties, helping specifically with both colon and prostate cancer. Lignans - Perhaps the most interesting and significant of the phytonutrients in pumpkin seeds are lignans. Lignans exhibit anti-estrogenic activity in the body which help to balance hormones and protect the body against hormone-dependent cancers, like breast cancer. Lignans are also found in flax seed. Magnesium - Pumpkin seeds are very high in magnesium, a mineral that half of U.S. adults under the age of 70 are deficient in. Magnesium is your relaxation mineral, because it induces a calm sensation. Tryptophan - Eating pumpkins will make you happy. They’re high in tryptophan which is an amino acid that converts in your body to the famous mood-boosting serotonin! This neurotransmitter is what SSRI drugs target too. And this is fascinating, a 2012 study found that pumpkin seed consumption was more effective at relieving depression than the prescribed antidepressant imipramine! Beta-cryptoxanthin - Beta-cryptoxanthin is another carotenoid that we transform into vitamin A in the body. There is a study that suggests beta-cryptoxanthin been found to reduce a person’s chance of developing nicotine-induced lung cancer so if you’re a smoker, eat pumpkins! No matter what time of year, you can eat pumpkin seeds or use the oil. I praise pumpkins for their ability to fight inflammation, cancer, aging skin, poor vision, diabetes, lupus, lung issues, rheumatoid and multiple sclerosis.

Inside The Law Consumer Rights And Data Breach:
Robert C. Shea Esq.
Protecting Yourself From Identify Theft By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
The recent data breach by Equifax meant that sensitive personal information for 145 million Americans was potentially exposed, including Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses and, in some instances, driver’s license numbers. This incident has left many consumers wondering how they can protect themselves from identify theft. Monitor your Account - Check your financial account transactions regularly. Opt-in for alerts that screen for questionable transactions and opt-in for multifactor authentication. Look for charges that you don’t recognize, even if they were for small amounts. Sometimes scoundrels test the waters with small charges. Be aware of communications claiming to be from credit reporting agency or financial institution. Review Credit Reports - By law, all consumers are entitled to a free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). You can request a free credit report from annualcreditreport. com, by phone or mail. Any site other than annualcreditreport.com is not part of the legally mandated free annual credit report program. Make sure you spell the
Michael J. Deem
annualcreditreport.com domain name correctly and avoid look-alike scam sites. Place a Freeze - A credit freeze prevents new creditors from accessing your credit file and others from opening accounts in your name. A freeze could stop identity thieves because most (but not all) businesses will not open credit accounts without checking your credit report. A credit freeze does not prevent identity thieves from taking-over your existing account. Set a fraud alert! - A fraud alert requires creditors who check your credit report to take steps to verify your identity before opening a new account, issuing additional card or increasing your credit limit on an existing account. A fraud alert is free. You can place an initial alert on your account for 90 days if you have not been a victim of identity theft. The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle most consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. A contingency means if there is no recovery, there is no fee. Call us for a free consultation: 732-505-1212.

NJ Food Pantries Receive Over $16K From Check-Off Program
By Kimberly Bosco TRENTON – The Community Food Pantry Fund, a state income tax form check-off program, has brought in over $16,000 to be distributed to New Jersey’s six food banks, New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher recently announced. “New Jersey taxpayers have made a direct impact on the lives of many Garden State families in need with their donations,” Secretary Fisher said. “When filing your taxes, please seek out this fund and donate to this worthy cause.” The NJ food banks that received some of these funds are: • Community Food Bank of New Jersey, Hillside • Food Bank of South Jersey, Pennsauken • Fulfill (formerly the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties), Neptune • Mercer Street Friends Food Bank, Ewing • Southern Regional Food Distribution Center, Vineland • NORWESCAP, Phillipsburg
The Community Food Pantry Fund, recommended by the state’s Hunger Prevention Advisory Committee, is an “on-going funding stream to assist with the acquisition of emergency food to enhance the emergency food provider system.” Taxpayers can use the check-off program to contribute a portion of their tax refund or make a donation to the fund. Money collected for the fund must be used exclusively for food purchases. Since its inception in 2010, over $171,000 of taxpayer-donated money has been distributed to the foodbanks through the fund. According to the Department of Agriculture, Governor Murphy and the State Legislature allocated $6.8 million for the current fiscal year’s New Jersey Department of Agriculture State Food Purchase Program (SFPP). That money is distributed quarterly to the state’s six food banks for the purchase of healthy foods, with an emphasis on buying produce from New Jersey farmers.

Court: Some Alcohol Breath Tests Inadmissable As Evidence
By Jennifer Peacock She didn’t live to see her case settled, but her fight may now benefit 20,667 people whose Alcotests may have falsely tested positive. After learning that the equipment for her breath test was not properly calibrated, Eileen Cassidy, who pleaded guilty in Spring Lake municipal court on Sept. 8, 2016 solely based on that test showing her driving above the legal limit, sought to have her guilty plea withdrawn. The Alcotests were supposed to be calibrated twice a year using a rigorous process to ensure their accuracy. Marc W. Dennis, a coordinator in the New Jersey
State Police’s Alcohol Drug Testing Unit, performed those semi-annual calibrations for tests used in Ocean, Monmouth, Middlesex, Somerset and Union counties. The tests should have been calibrated using a thermometer that produces temperature measurements traceable to the standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Dennis was indicted back in December 2016 (and was charged Sept. 19) for not properly calibrating the tests and falsifying his reports “as if he has properly performed the procedure,” the indictment said. The State reportedly knew about the issue with the falsification of records nearly a year
before defendants, including Cassidy, were notified. She sought to have her guilty plea vacated Sept. 26, 2016. “The Court orders the State to notify all affected defendants of its decision that breath test results produced by Alcotest machines not calibrated using a NIST-traceable thermometer are inadmissible and commends to the State that it require the manual recording of the NIST traceable readings going forward,” stated the Nov. 13 decision, written by Justice Walter F. Timpone. “Further, the Court lifts the stay on all pending cases so that deliberations may commence on whether and how those cases
should proceed. For those cases already decided, affected defendants may now seek appropriate relief. Because the State waited approximately a year to notify the affected defendants, we relax the five-year time bar, R. 7:10-2(b)(2), in the interests of 20 justice. We ask the Director of the Administrative Office of the Courts to monitor these cases and recommend how best to administer them in the event any special measures are needed.” Cassidy died in March 2018. Her case was argued in September and decided Tuesday. “Finally, as to defendant Cassidy, we exercise our original jurisdiction and vacate her conviction,” Timpone wrote.

Ocean County Christmas Tree Lighting Set For Dec. 5
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – With Thanksgiving in the rearview, Ocean County is preparing to officially welcome the holiday season with the Ocean County Christmas tree lighting on Dec. 5. Join in the festivities with the elves, sing along to some holiday music, and enjoy some hot apple cider during the event at 4:45 p.m. This year’s event will also feature a brand new, 28-foot Norway spruce, adorned with thousands of LED Christmas lights. This Norway spruce was planted last May to replace the old Blue spruce that was used to light up the holiday season. The tree will be a symbol of the Christmas spirit located at the corner of Hooper Avenue and Washington Street. “We invite everyone to join us as we
celebrate the season of giving and joy,” said Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little. “This is the largest tree the county has ever planted and I’m happy to say it’s ready for the holidays.” The tree lighting will be held at the Ocean County Administration Building, 101 Hooper Avenue. The Silver Bay Elementary School Chorus will provide a melody of holiday music for the annual event, beginning at 4:45 p.m. At 5 p.m. the tree will be lit by Cecelia Grace Kelly and Juliana Faith Kelly. Everyone is invited to the Administration Building lobby following the tree lighting for hot and cold apple cider and Christmas cookies baked by the Ocean County Vocational-Technical Schools culinary arts students.

BUSINESS PROFILE There is a uniting factor between us all that has been written about in c ount les s stor ies, poems and songs and probably most simply said by John Howard Payne in his work titled “Home Sweet Home.” Be it ever so humble, there’s no plac e like home. Home is not just a building to store possessions, home is where the heart is, home is a place for family, home is comfort, home is shared values and home is security. Home is also in most cases, the biggest investment and source of equity in a person’s life. Ensuring that one’s home is at its utmost optimum value is where Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling, loc ated at 248 6 Ridgeway Bou levard in Manchester, comes into prominence. Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling has a long standing reputation as high quality installers and distributors of aluminum products in the Toms River, Berkeley and Manchester area. Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling is owned and operated by the Jeffers family. The Jeffers family has been a proud staple of the community since 1967. Robert Jeffers opened Jeffers A luminum & Remod eling in a store front property on Route 37
Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling in Toms River. In 2003 a sister company was branched off of Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling and became known as Mid Jersey Building Supply, a leading wholesale building materials supply company. Both companies are operated by Bob, his wife Bonnie, and their son Robert at the Manchester location on Ridgeway Boulevard. In order to serve the n e e ds of t h e va lu e d customers in the most convenient, efficient and effective manner, as well as to accommodate the growth and expansion of the business, Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling has consolidated and merged with Mid Jersey Building Supply. Both businesses are now housed under one huge roof at the much bigger and brighter showroom at the Ridgeway Boulevard location. Though the location has been changed, what has not changed is the high qualit y, honest y and standards offered by Jef fer s A luminum & Remodeling as well as the exc ellenc e in assistance and service. A bove all else, what has not changed is the tremendous value that is added to your home when any improvement project is done. The Jef fers family pr ides themselves on the stel-

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of dec 1 - dec 7
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Love may not always make sense. Trying to apply practical logic to a relationship may leave you scratching your head but if you just follow your heart all will be well. Listen to what others say this week. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Find the balance between work and play. Business and pleasure both demand your attention, but you can’t afford to neglect either one. Don’t allow outside influences to impact your love life. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Enlighten and entertain. Keep your audience riveted by reaching into your bag of interesting anecdotes and personal experiences. Rally around those who stir up your passions in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Show your true colors. Offer your unwavering support and assistance to a friend or loved one when they need it. When making purchases this week, select items that hold lasting value. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Slow and steady wins the race. There’s no need to rush as the week unfolds as being careful and cautious will leave little room for error. Discussing the future with a loved one may provide a new perspective. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Say it like you mean it. Someone may not agree with your opinions but will respect the conviction with which you state them. Treating a loved one to a special treat this week will show you care.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Keep your friends close. It may be difficult to break the ice with new acquaintances so stick with tried and true pals who are on the same wavelength. Keep your schedule flexible in case something comes up. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Maintain your sense of honor. Be sure to keep promises and commitments even if others may not do the same for you. Don’t allow minor disagreements to spiral into something bigger. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ambitions can be realized. Discussing your goals and dreams with an objective party may provide insights into ways to make them happen. Sharing time with a loved one may be valuable. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Step up to the plate. Honor responsibilities and commitments and show that you are someone who lives up to their word. Use good judgment when shopping; don’t spend money foolishly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be careful not to telegraph your moves. What you don’t say may be more important than what you do. Maintaining an aura of mystery may make you seem more alluring to a romantic partner. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Straight answers may be hard to come by. You’ll need to read between the lines to get to the heart of a matter as the truth may be murky. Use your intuitions to discern fact from fiction.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Let Them Eat Cake: Start A New Dessert Tradition This Holiday Season By Wolfgang Puck
In my experience, even on the day before the holiday many people are still looking for something extra they can prepare for the table. So, please allow me to modestly propose that you prepare a dessert that makes a dramatic, yet simple, departure from tradition. Forget about making another pumpkin or pecan pie. Avoid another cranberry tart or pudding. This year, make chocolate the star of your holiday dessert table. Anyone who has dined in my restaurants or read my cookbooks knows how much I love chocolate. So I’m delighted to share a recipe I’ve developed that combines some of the best elements of several of my favorite desserts: warm chocolate cakes with bourbon truffle centers. This recipe came about partly because some people have told me that they feel a little insecure when they try to make my popular lava cakes, which rely on a chocolate-rich batter that, when prepared in individual-serving ramekins, bakes to a dense cake texture around the top, bottom and sides while remaining so hot and creamy in the center that it oozes out like a lava flow when the cake is cut. I always reassure people that such cakes are fairly simple, and that even if they are cooked too long they’ll still result in a delicious, dense, chocolaty cake that doesn’t flow. But I started thinking about coming up with a different, even easier way to ensure a cake with a molten center. The solution: Make actual individual chocolate truffles that you insert into the center of the batter for each serving just before baking, so they’ll melt to a lava-like consistency while the cake around them bakes. So, you may be wondering, even though this dessert sounds delicious, why is it perfect for the Thanksgiving table? In fact, there are good reasons. First, it’s simple. The truffles are easy to shop for, assemble and bake, and you can also double the recipe for a crowd without too much extra work. Next, the recipe features two ingredients that, though they may not have been readily available to the pilgrims, are nonetheless New World favorites: chocolate and Kentucky bourbon. My favorite reason, though, is one that I think is most important during the festive season: It’s a real showstopper that will win the admiration of family and friends. WARM CHOCOLATE CAKES WITH BOURBON TRUFFLE CENTERS Makes 8 individual 4-inch (10-cm) cakes For the bourbon truffles: 4 ounces (125 g) good-quality bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into pieces 3 tablespoons heavy cream 2 tablespoons good-quality Kentucky bourbon
12/31/18
For the chocolate cakes: 5 ounces (155 g) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing 5 ounces (155 g) bittersweet chocolate
3 large eggs 3 large egg yolks 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, sifted To serve: Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting Unsweetened whipped cream or good-quality coffee or vanilla ice cream For the truffles, melt the chocolate in the top pan of a double boiler over, but not touching, gently simmering water, occasionally stirring the chocolate until completely melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside for a few minutes. Stir in the butter until smooth. In a small saucepan, stir together the cream and bourbon over medium heat. As soon as the mixture simmers, gently stir it into the chocolate mixture. Leave at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened enough to hold its shape. Use a melon baller or other small scoop or spoon to shape the mixture into 8 individual ball shapes, placing them on a plate or tray lined with wax paper or parchment paper. Refrigerate until ready to use. For the cake, preheat the oven to 350 F, positioning the oven rack at the middle level. Meanwhile, use a little butter to grease eight 4-inch (10-cm) stainless-steel rings and set them on a baking pan lined with parchment paper; or use an 8-muffin-capacity muffin pan, buttering its cups. Melt the chocolate and 5 ounces of butter together in the top pan of a double boiler over, but not touching, gently simmering water, occasionally stirring until completely melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer with the beater attachment, or a large mixing bowl using a handheld electric beater, combine the eggs, egg yolks and sugar and beat at high speed until the mixture triples in volume. Add the melted chocolate-butter mixture and beat at medium speed just until combined. Lift out the beaters from the bowl and, with a rubber spatula, stir in the flour until fully incorporated. Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared rings or muffin cups. Insert 1 chilled truffle into the center of each ring or cup and use a teaspoon to smooth the surrounding batter over the truffle, covering it completely. Bake the cakes on the middle rack of the oven until their tops look set and spring back when very quickly, lightly, and carefully touched with a fingertip, about 12 minutes. Do not test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into a cake. With a thin, sharp knife, carefully loosen the edges of each cake from the ring or muffin cup. Carefully lift off the rings or unmold the cakes from the muffin pan and transfer to individual serving plates. Dust each cake lightly with confectioners’ sugar, and serve with whipped cream or ice cream. Serve immediately.
