Veterans Events Provide Update On Memorial Garden Fundraiser By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – For the eighth year in a row, the township’s Veterans Day ceremony was held at the Veterans Memorial Garden located at the intersection of Jackson Mills Road and West Commodore Boulevard. The ceremony appropriately began at 11 a.m. and along with honoring veterans it also served to showcase years of work to provide a special location in the community to honor veterans of each era and all military branches. T he t wo fou nders of the non-profit Veterans Memorial Garden, Inc., president Charles Garofano and vice president Ken J. Bressi, said they are very pleased with the community support the project has received since it was conceived. In the summer of 2007, Garofano had the idea to create a memorial to honor all men and

Fence Heights Discussed At Board Of Adjustment By Bob Vosseller JAC K S ON – T h e township’s Board of Adjustment approved three variances for the construction of fences/ barriers that exceed height and other requirements during its recent meeting.

to meet code conditions by the township. An application by Shlomo Rudnicki of C hel s e a Ro a d wa s heard first and he was seeking a variance to construct an 8-foot solid wood fence where a 6-foot maximum is permitted. Rudnicki said the fence was needed for reasons of privacy so that his wife could
swim in their pool. He said if the fence variance was not approved, “my wife would not be able to use it. The fence is up so that no one can look into the pool.” The applicant explained that he had a fence that would have an addition added to it and that it would be in place 60 feet from the rear left of the property (Fence - See Page 7)
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – The township Board of Education recently joined its district education leaders in reviewing its performance through a “State of the Schools” presentation. The presentation focused on curriculum and student achievement along with the township’s changing demographics, which was also noted as a factor in state testing results. The state PARCC results showed areas of strength and areas that required more focus toward student needs in the district. PARCC is a standardized test that stands for Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers. Results examined student population changes over the last decade which showed a small rise in Asian students from 244 students in June of 2008 to 246 in June 2018, a decline of African American students of 594 (School - See Page 7)

Veterans:
Continued From Page 1 opens each township council meeting asking attendees to take a moment to remember the service and sacrifice of those who serve in the military. In the weeks and months to come, the two men had many meetings to discuss the idea and develop their vision for the Veterans Memorial Garden. “Ken and I are both combat veterans from Vietnam and this memorial will be somewhat unique in this state,” Garofano said, noting that it had a special focus to honor all veterans of each era war time and peace time. Bressi and Garofano sought input from veterans from World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and those serving in recent years what would be the most appropriate and dignified way to create a memorial. “We spoke and we all agreed that it should be a memorial for all veterans,” Garofano said. With that in mind, the Veterans Memorial Garden includes all veterans who served in the Armed Forces of the nation
and over the course of the next 18 months, Veterans Memorial Garden Inc. was granted its non-profit status with the state. This included its tax-exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service while the architectural plans were being drawn up. Trustees of the organization include William Blake, Karen Bressi and Debra Garofano. Various fundraisers were undertaken, including the sale of dedicated pavers, dedicated granite benches, and flagpoles with dedicated monuments, all of which would become a part of the memorial itself. “There are personalized pavers and engraved solid granite benches in this area which families have purchased to honor their loved ones,” Bressi said. “This tradition will continue for many years to come, for future generations to add to and cherish.” Also added was a peaceful waterfall and reflecting pool located on the lakeside of the pentagon area which is also a future site for additional personalized pavers and engraved benches as the site grows,” Bressi added.
The organization has also raised funds through charitable donations collected from individuals at various store fronts. During the past five years, one of the most popular fundraisers included a dinner dance gift auction held at the township’s AMVETS Post on Toms River Road. The 5th annual dinner dance and gift auction was held on the evening of Oct. 13 to a packed crowd. The special guests of the night included two World War II veterans. They were recognized by Bressi, who served as the event’s master of ceremonies. Anthony DiSiena, a U.S. Marine, and James A. Viviano, who served in the SeaBees, were both present with members of their family for the fundraiser. DiSiena said during the event that he was proud to have recently been named as this year’s “Marine of the Year” by the Marine Corps League. “I am very happy to be here tonight,” DiSiena said. “We began making arrangements for tonight’s fundraiser a year ago tonight,” Bressi said addressing the crowd during the fundraiser. The volunteer hours given to the memorial by Theresa Clayton, Laura
Madden, Jeff Shapiro and Kimberly Taylor were also noted during the fundraiser. Among the several hundred people who came out for this year’s fundraiser, was 12th District Assemblyman Ronald Dancer who regularly attends the event. Dancer, a veteran himself, and former long-time mayor of nearby Plumsted Township, commended Bressi and Garofano for their work and dedication toward making the Veterans Memorial Garden a reality. “It is a wonderful tribute to all veterans regardless of service time. This memorial highlights the courage of every veteran in every branch of the service,” Dancer said. Jackson Mayor Mike Reina was also among those who attended the evening’s program and said “this is a wonderful occasion where we come together as a community to support our veterans.” Bressi said during the fundraiser that he and Garofano had been working on raising funds to complete the fi nal phase of the Veterans Memorial Garden, which will consist of a 52-ton solid granite monument that will be 21 feet wide and 18 feet high. This now completed monument consists of five, two-foot in diameter columns with each column representing a branch of the armed forces. The funds from the evening’s fundraiser went toward that endeavor. Bressi said phase one and two had been completed previously and consisted of flags that had previously flown over the Pentagon, the State and Jackson Township and one for each branch of the armed forces. Garofano said that pieces of the current phase of the project are on order and should be in this spring with the top pillar to be ordered next. “We are hoping that in the next two years it will be fi nished.” For further information about the Veterans Memorial Garden and how you can support it, e-mail info@jacksonvetsmemorial.com

Fence:
cerns of safety should a child wander into the pool and there being no ability for anyone to see any swimmer having difficulty. “This could have been a better plan but I am understanding of the need for privacy,” Book said. Rudnicki also agreed to a township inspection of the completed fence. Board members Joseph Sullivan and Najarian voted against the application but all other members voted for it. The second application for a similar project, which proposed a fence/barrier that exceeded the maximum 6-foot requirement and type of material used, came forward by Naffoli and Chana Ort of Arizona Avenue. The application also concerns an above ground pool and the need for privacy for Naffoli’s wife to utilize the pool. The barrier was originally planned to be around the side of the deck of the pool and would be eight feet in height. “The material would be tarps or whatever suggestions there might be permissible,” Naffoli Ort said. Board attorney Sean Gertner suggested
Ort modify the application to an approved material such as wood instead of the tarp. “I was only thinking of having it up during the swimming season as it is in the middle of the yard but if a fence would be better that would be fine,” Ort said. Resident Jim Bezanson, who lives near the residence, said during the public comment period of the application that “any time you are screening visibility where you can’t see into the pool you are putting a person at risk.” He cited an example of two children who had entered a resident’s pool. “This is just for safety reasons.” “I understand the modesty concept but unlike the prior application there is a conflict also with the material being proposed,” Book said. Gertner recommended the applicant have the open side of the fence to the rear of dwelling and have three parts solid. Sullivan noted that while “I have safety concerns, there is nothing in our regulations saying you can’t do that.” Sullivan said this in reference to the fence surrounding the
pool in the manner proposed. “I personally wouldn’t, but it is not written in stone that they couldn’t.” Board members Peter Maher and Najarian voted against the application for reasons of safety. The third application was by Meragle Horowitz of Marymount Court who sought a variance to construct a 6-foot solid fence in the front yard area where such fences are prohibited. Hofstein questioned the placement of the fence noting that any utility work that would have to be done could result in the utility company removing the fence to do the work. The applicant agreed to modify the plan to meet requirements of material requirements and also adjusted the dimensions of the fence. Gertner requested that an 8 x 19 foot shed on the property that had not been included on the survey, be added into the application for the board’s documentation. Najarian made the motion with the modifications made to approve the variance.
School:
The district’s 2018-2019 goals in the area of curriculum and student achievement include implementing a new grade 6-12 math program, media/technology program for kindergarten to 12 th grade, a business program for 9-12th grade, and a family and consumer science program for 6 th -12 th graders. Among the district’s goals is a plan to expa nd it s i n- class resou rce for third graders and to continue efforts to increase awareness of student mental health. That plan includes implementing student mental health curriculum and procedures. The district will also monitor implementation and progress of its duel credit initiative. The district’s plan is to move forward with its goal to improve and enhance
its facilities for the best safe learning environment it can achieve and will update its long-range facilities plan which includes a satellite facility for its transportation department to allow for additional space. Genco said the district is still working to complete decommissioning of an old sewer plant on district property. The district has noted in recent years along, with other school districts in the state, a lack of school bus drivers. Among its goals in the current school year is to create a campaign to attract bus drivers and mechanics to work in the district and pursue alternate revenue sources. Another goal is to implement a document archival system. It was noted during a board meeting last month that by state regulations a school district must keep hard copy records for a period of around 99 years which is a rule
that many educators and administers feel causes an undue burden for school districts. Other goals listed in the presentation included increasing publication of district endeavors and student achievement in academics, extra-curricular areas and athletics. The district will continue to refine website features and structure and continue to train staff. A Jackson Liberty High School student asked during the public portion of the meeting if the planned 2019 review of scheduling might result in block scheduling and if so would that impact the school’s special academies program. Genco responded that he did not believe any impact would result to the special learning academies at the school were any changes initiated. “We have no facility restrictions which is great so whatever we want to do we can do.”

Board of Adjustment Chairman Sheldon Hofstein asked if the fence was intended to be permanent or if it could be removed. “Are these two fences a 6-foot one that is pre-existing that would have an addition?” vice chair Carl F. Book Jr. asked. Rudnicki said that it would be attached to a 6-foot fence. “It looks significantly higher than eight feet. Have you had problems with people looking into the pool?” Book asked. Board member Stephen Costanzo asked for the dimensions of the plan and recommended that Rudnicki comply with “any and all code requirements.” The applicant agreed to that and his neighbor, Moshe Somsolonsky, gave testimony that he had no objections to the permanent fence. “I actually asked him to put it up.” Board member Scott Najarian voiced con-

English language learners increased from 57 to 168 since 2008.

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

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 difficulty hearing speech clearly. They hear, but they do not understand. A curious and frustrating 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 hearing loss. Why 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. They have degrees in 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!
Health Tips For The Holidays
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – It’s important to stay healthy during the holiday season. Thankfully, government officials have some tips to make sure everyone strives for tip-top health. “It’s imperative to make sure you and your family’s health and safety are a priority. By remembering just a few simple and easy tips you can make getting into the festive spirit a little easier,” Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said. He’s the liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Here are the 12 Tips For Holiday Health, as provided by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: • Wash hands often to help prevent the spread of germs. It’s flu season. Wash your hands with soap and clean running water for at least 20 seconds. • Bundle up to stay dry and warm. Wear appropriate outdoor clothing: light, warm layers, gloves, hats, scarves, and waterproof boots. • Manage stress. Give yourself a break if you feel stressed out, overwhelmed, and out of control. Get plenty of sleep. • Be smoke-free. Avoid smoking and secondhand smoke. Smokers have greater health risks because of their tobacco use, but nonsmokers also are at risk when exposed to tobacco smoke. • Fasten seat belts while driving or riding in a motor vehicle. Always buckle your children in the car using a child safety seat, booster seat, or seat belt according to their height, weight, and age. • Get exams and screenings. Ask your health care provider what exams you need and
when to get them. Update your personal and family history. • Get your vaccinations. Vaccinations help prevent diseases and save lives. Everyone six months and older should get a flu vaccine each year. • Monitor children. Keep potentially dangerous toys, food, drinks, household items, and other objects out of children’s reach. Protect them from drowning, burns, falls, and other potential accidents. • Practice fire safety. Most residential fires occur during the winter months, so have an emergency plan and practice it regularly. • Prepare food safely. Remember these simple steps: wash hands and surfaces often, avoid cross-contamination, cook foods to proper temperatures and refrigerate foods promptly. • Eat healthy, stay active. Eat fruits and vegetables which pack nutrients and help lower the risk for certain diseases. Limit your portion sizes and foods high in fat, salt, and sugar. Also, be active for at least twoand-a-half hours a week and help kids and teens be active for at least one hour a day. • Don’t drink and drive or let others drink and drive. “These are great tips to follow during the holidays, but they are also important to put in practice the rest of the year as well. Share them with your family and friends and hopefully they will pass them along as well,” Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator, said.

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.

Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) Meetings
OCEAN COUNTY – As the holiday season approaches, are you one of those people who feel left out of the festivities? You are not alone.

educate, and improve the lives of people who have mood disorders. If you suffer from mood disorders, we welcome you to attend our group. Those who have a family member or friend with these issues are also welcome. It is an entirely voluntary group with no registration required, or payment of dues or fees, but we do accept a small voluntary donation. For more information, call Maureen at 732-536-5826. DBSA Jackson is led by its members, who have similar mental health issues; and have had special training on how to lead groups. If you have questions, call Maureen at 732-536-5826.

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
Michael J. Deem
sure you spell the 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.

Ocean County: Buy Local
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – It’s important that residents shop local, Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari said. “We want everyone to buy local,” Vicari said. “We want you to buy in Ocean County.” “Buy in Ocean County” is an effort fronted by Vicari, who serves as liaison to Tourism and Business Development. There are many benefits to buying locally. “This year I want to encourage everyone to buy locally,” Vicari said. “Our downtowns and business areas have so much to offer. I am asking you to patronize local businesses including our small ‘mom and pop’ stores. These stores offer a host of items, many unique, along with great customer service. “So many of them support our community organizations,” he said. “This is the perfect time to remember them as you set out to do your holiday shopping.” Ocean County not only offers shopping hubs at Ocean County Mall and Jackson Premium Outlets, but has numerous charming downtown areas that offer one-of-akind shops and boutiques. “From Point Pleasant Beach to Tuckerton, across the county, downtowns offer some of the best choices for holiday shopping,” Vicari said. “Many of these stores are owned by long-time residents that continue to be a staple in our communities. Make a day out of it - shop, have lunch and just enjoy the area. There is plenty to see and do in all of our municipalities. The towns are all festively decorated for the holidays. Shopping is fun and easy when you shop locally.” Many towns have added holiday attractions like carriage rides or trolley services. Shoppers should also look for seasonal discounts at local merchants. Customers are also protected against
fraud when shopping locally, something outside state jurisdiction and not necessarily offered when making purchases through an out-of-state company. Returns, when offered, are easy to make as well. Anyone with complaints about purchases not being fulfilled or other concerns can contacted the county’s Department of Consumer Affairs at 732-929-2105. “We see the same problems year after year,” Vicari, who is chairman of the Consumer Affairs Department, said “Merchandise is not received in time for the holidays, there are problems with backorders and some received items barely resembling their catalog photos and descriptions.” “When you buy local, you are protected against fraud,” Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said. “Our county and state agencies have more authority when dealing with a local business complaint. Our Department of Consumer Affairs is well known for getting a successful outcome to a complaint. “You can drive down the street and visit the store rather than pack and ship a package across country,” Little said. “This county is filled with small businesses that carry items that will be enjoyed for years to come,” Vicari said. “Our small businesses offer something for everyone. And if your loved one is tough to shop for, gift cards to our restaurants and small shops will be greatly appreciated.” During the holidays and throughout the year, Vicari said its small business owners who work hard to bring a pleasant experience to all shoppers. “Local business owners are known for giving back to their communities. Buying locally helps our economy and promises a positive outcome for both the shopper and the business owner,” Vicari said. “The results are priceless.”

Liarmakopoulos, and Jeff Nelsen on horn. Beyond their unparalleled musicality, each player possesses the creativity, good humor, and love of performing that is the quintet’s hallmark. Tickets are $40-49, and can be purchased online at grunincenter.org; by phone at 732255-0500; or in person at the Grunin Center Box Office, Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ask about group and student rates.

State Drug Database Will Help Tackle Opioid Epidemic By Jennifer Peacock TRENTON – The newly launched Opioid Data Dashboard can help in the fight against opioid addiction. The New Jersey Department of Health designed the site to provide data to public health practitioners, researchers, policy makers, and the public. The dashboard features information on drug-related deaths, prescription monitoring program stats, naloxone (commonly known as Narcan) administrations, hospital visits, treatment admissions and
discharges, among other data. This data is supplied by the Department of Health and New Jersey Attorney General’s Office, among others. It’s funded through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Improving public access to opioid-related data trends is vital to stemming the tide of this type of addiction in New Jersey,” DOH Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal said. “More than 100 people die every day in the United States from opioid-re-
lated drug overdoses, and it is our sincere hope that information contained in the dashboard will guide prevention efforts and lead to data-driven decision making in combatting this devastating epidemic.” The dashboard complements real-time data distributed through the website of the Office of the New Jersey Coordinator for Addiction Response and Enforcement Strategies’ (NJCARES), housed within the NJAG’s Office. That site shares county specific information.
Ana Gasteyer Hosts ‘Holiday Tipple’ At Grunin Center TOMS RIVER — Singer, actress, and comedienne Ana Gasteyer – best known for her work on Saturday Night Live – brings her joyful sass and pizzazz to the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts on Saturday, December 15 at 8 p.m. With “Holiday Tipple,” Gasteyer follows up her hugely popular cabaret show “I’m Hip!”
Her jazzy ensemble will fete the season with swingin’ holiday favorites, belty baubles, and novelty Yuletide tunes of yore. Join Ms. Gasteyer for an evening of mulled-spice melodies and toe-tappin’ holiday tipples! Gasteyer can currently be seen starring in Netf lix’s critically acclaimed comedy series Lady Dynamite as well
as People of Earth on TBS and the ABC hit series The Goldbergs. On Broadway, she starred in the hit show “Wicked” as Elphaba, and in the acclaimed Encores! Off-Center production of A New Brain, Three Penny Opera, and Rocky Horror Picture Show. Tickets are $35, and can be purchased online at grunincenter.org; by phone at
“New Jersey’s efforts to tackle the opioid epidemic depend on smart, data-driven policies and collaboration between government agencies,” Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said. “Drawing on information that the Office of the Attorney General has posted on our NJ CARES website, the Department of Health’s opioid data dashboard illustrates what we can do when we work together.” The dashboard can be accessed at state. nj.us/health/populationhealth/opioid/.

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 Wednesday, 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.

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.
A Game For Megan Fundraiser
TOMS RIVER – On Friday, September 14, 2018, Megan Franzoso, an EMT, went into cardiac arrest for 45 minutes while at Community Medical Center in Toms River, NJ. Once a pulse was returned, Megan was flown to Temple University Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA, where she was in critical condition and spent time on life support in a medically induced coma. Megan was recently moved from the hospital to a rehabilitation center where she will spend some time learning how to walk and talk again. At this point, we have no idea how long her
recovery period will be, but we do know that she has a long and very costly road ahead of her. It is expected that her medical insurance coverage will end before her need for care does; especially because of the level of care she has been receiving. A Game Night for Megan will be held on Saturday, January 5, 2019 at 6–10 p.m. at Winding River Ice Rink, 1211 Whitesville Rd, Toms River to help raise money for Megan. Doors open at 6 p.m. Game starts at 7 p.m. The cost is $10 for adults, $5 for students with school ID. Kids 12 and under are free.

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.

Let Them Eat Cake: Start A New Dessert Tradition This Holiday Season By Wolfgang Puck
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 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 hand-held 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.
