By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – People wander in, likely confused. Since when does a court-ordered Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous meeting include bagpipes? Wrong room. They’ve stumbled upon a practice of the Pipes & Dr ums of Bar negat Bay, which practices Mondays at Christ Episcopal Church on Washington Street. At 6 p.m. a small gathering of novices pick up chanters and practice scales and gracenotes with band founder and pipe major Frank Johnson. Around 7 p.m. band members will trickle in, with their drums and bagpipes, chatting and erupting into what sounds like a high-pitched traffic jam on a hot New York City summer night. They’ll eventually qui-

Scholarship Available For Manchester Students
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Township high schoolers are invited to write an essay based on the theme “What My Municipal Government Does Best” for a $1,000 scholarship. Manchester is taking part in the scholarship program, which is being run by the New Jersey League of Municipalities. The Louis Bay II Future Municipal Leaders scholarship is named after the Mayor Emeritus of Hawthorne. Each town will select one semi-finalist and send their essay to the League. The league will choose three $1,000 winners and 15 finalists. The essays will be featured in New Jersey
Municipalities magazine. “Many elected officials, appointed and volunteer board members, serve Manchester and help to plan our community and preserve our way of life. They serve year-round, every day, and are at times barely noticed,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer said. “This scholarship competition helps to rectify that while encouraging our future municipal leaders.” Students can get information on the scholarships from their high school guidance office. Regional and private school students must apply through the town where they live, not the town where the school is located.

Spending Up, Taxes Down With County Budget
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Taxpayers will see a slight decrease in their county tax bill due to more ratables to share the burden. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders unveiled its 2019 budget at its Feb. 13 preboard meeting, and then formally introduced it a week later. The budget in 2018 was about $416.1 million. It is increasing to $432 million for 2019. The amount to be raised by taxes will be $353.05 million, an increase of 1.89 percent from last year’s $346.5 million. The county took a double-hit with the downturn in the economy in 2009 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Ratables’ value plummeted $20 billion between the two but are slowly climbing. Property values increased by $3.4 billion to $103.2 billion for 2019, yet are still $6 billion below pre-2009 figures. This amounts to a half-cent reduction in the tax rate, keeping it to about 34 cents per $100 valuation. Despite those challenges, the county has kept its AAA bond rating. Bond ratings are done be independent companies and are graded based on a borrower’s fiscal stability. A good score means that the county will spend less money on interest. Other budget highlights include: • $15.7 million for Ocean County College, an increase of $454,418 • $19 million for Ocean County Vocational Technical School, an increase of $372,768 • $9.3 million for a “pay as you grow” appropriation, so the county doesn’t have to go out to bond on some projects • $25 million for roads and bridges • $75 million for county departments that oversee law and public safety • $100,000 additional funds for the senior nutrition program

County GOP Picks Wolfe’s Replacement, Other Candidates
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Republican Organization announced their slate for November’s regional elections. Incumbents took up most of the spots, but there was a group of candidates seeking to replace retiring Assemblyman David Wolfe on the ballot. Wolfe, who had been an assemblyman since 1992, announced earlier this year that he would not be running for another term. The 10th District is made up of the following towns: Bay Head, Brick Township, Island Heights, Lakehurst, Lavallette, Manchester, Mantoloking, Point Pleasant Beach, Seaside Heights, and Toms River. A slew of candidates stepped forward, seeking to have the party’s endorsement.
According to a press release from the county Republicans, the following people were interviewed by the screening committee: Mayor Stephen Reid from Point Pleasant Beach, D’Arcy Green of Mantoloking, Councilman Daniel Rodrick from Toms River, and Councilman Jim Davis from Lakehurst. Wolfe was from Brick, and the GOP noted that three candidates came from that town: Ruthanne Scaturro, John Catalano and Samantha DeAlmeida. “I (am) encouraged to see the rebirth of the Republican Party in Brick,” said GOP Chairman George Gilmore. Currently, there is only one Republican on the governing body, and he used to be a Democrat. “Ruthanne has answered the call any time the party needed someone to step up
and John has been a tireless advocate for candidates up and down the ballot,” he said. “At just 29 years old, Sam represents the future of the Republican party not only in Brick, but throughout the entire state. I have encouraged Sam to continue to build relationships and gain valuable experience at the local level, and I am hopeful that she will consider running for council in Brick.” Ultimately, the screening committee recommended John Catalano from Brick to be on the ballot in November. “John will be a tremendous candidate and I am confident that he will make a great member of the Assembly. John has proven himself as a fearless campaigner for candidates throughout the county and I believe that he will continue to use that
work ethic to earn the support of the voters,” Gilmore said. In other races, the committee unanimously chose the following incumbents to run again: • Freeholder Virginia Haines • Freeholder Jack Kelly • Sheriff Michael Mastronardy • Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove (9 th District) • Assemblyman Brian Rumpf (9th District) • Assemblyman Greg McGuckin (10th District) • Assemblyman Ron Dancer (12th District) • Assemblyman Rob Clifton (12th District) • Assemblyman Sean Kean (30th District) • Assemblyman Ned Thomson (30th District)

been playing bagpipes since 2000. He studies under award-winning bagpiper Derek Midgley, who was busy making repairs to some instruments while the band practiced. “A friend of mine, he would go to bagpipe practice, and I tagged along with him one night,” Johnson said. He has a degree in music. “I had always wanted to learn.” According to several sources on Celtic life, bagpipes were thought to originate in ancient Egypt, and were brought to the British Isles by Roman infantry, although others say it’s an Irish import. Although bagpipes have been found all over, their basic design is the same: the blowstick, which the piper blows into to fill the bag with air; the chanter, which is the part the bagpiper fingers to play the notes; the drones, which are exactly what they sound like, the part that “drones” the low humming sounds associated with the instrument. The bags can be made of anything from plastic to sheepskin. For Johnson, as for other members of the band, it’s personal. While many of them simply stressed an appreciation for Scottish life and history (and no one credited “Outlander” for any sudden love for bagpipes), many have familial connections to Celtic roots. The band’s Tartan is Irving of Bonshaw-family, from Bonshaw Towers. In Scotland. Johnson’s maternal grandmother is connected to that family. And while such
trivia won’t mean anything to most people, for the band it means they need permission to purchase the tartan material from the Laird of Bonshaw. Each band member wears a kilt made of the Bonshaw tartan at a cost of about $700 each. Dionne Negron of Lakewood met Johnson at a local Scottish festival several years ago. Her grandfather, Joseph Logan, was a member of the Black Watch, 3rd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland, an infantry battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland. A popular DNA at-home testing kit revealed she’s 43 percent Scotch-Irish, so it’s “mandatory to play bagpipes.” Her sister, Marisa Negron, is learning the snare drum. “I love the sound of bagpipes. I just love the sound. I know some people find them so irritating,” Dionne Negron said. The Irvings of Bonshaw crest states Haud Ullis Labentia Ventis: Yielding Under No Winds. Whether inherited from the kilts they wear or the stubbornness they genetically inherited, the band marches in all weather. Their upcoming appearances include the Burlington County St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Mount Holly on March 2 and Belmar’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade March 3. Pipes & Drums of Barnegat Bay was formed in 2007. The band boasts 15 members today and is in need of snare drummers. They practice 6-9 p.m. Monday nights at Christ Episcopal Church, 415 Washington St. For more information, visit facebook. com/pipesdrumsbarnegatbay/.

Safety Grants Available For Local Fire Depts From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHI NGTON, D.C. – Local New Jersey fire companies and departments can begin applying for fed-
eral grants for staffing firefighters, Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) announced. “All eligible career and
volunteer fire departments in the Fourth District are encouraged to apply for these Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grants, which help increase the number of firefighters and first responders to provide our communities with more security,” Smith said. “As we have already seen, this grant program has strengthened our district’s
local fire departments and volunteer organizations in the past.” The SAFER grants - $350 million in total, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) - will go to local fire departments and volunteer organizations across the country for recruiting, training, and retaining more “front-line” firefighters to deal with
fires and other emergencies in their communities. The SAFER grant applicants are judged on the criteria of hiring, recruitment and retention of firefighters. Fire departments and local volunteer organizations can begin applying for grants now through Friday, March 22 at 5 p.m. ET. Fire departments in Smith’s district have received SAF-
ER grants in the past, including the Trenton fire department in fiscal years 2010, 2012 and 2014. Those SAFER grants helped the Trenton fire department avoid layoffs for about 60 firefighters. Also, in September of 2017 the Middletown Township Fire Department received a $136,675 SAFER grant to hire more trained firefighters.
Tax Incentives Would Help Investors Revitalize Historic Buildings From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy PAT ER SON – O n a street lined with former sil k mills, only blocks away from the Great Falls of Pat e r son , Gove r nor Phil Mur phy detailed a new historic preservation tax credit program as part of his vision for incentives reform. The Historic Preservation Tax Credit will ser ve to revitalize and fully realize the potential of New Jersey’s storied cities and towns. “50 Spruce Street is one of hundreds, if not thousands of similar buildings i n ou r s t at e t h at h ave
vast unfulfilled potential and can be restored to thei r for mer glor y and repur posed for moder n d ay u s e ,” s a id G ove rnor Mu r phy. “H istor ic preservation tax credits have helped other states preserve and utilize their historic buildings. These beautiful structures are of t e n h i d d e n i n pl a i n sight and are waiting for the right investor. We are here to help with that.” “The Historic Tax Credit Prog ram proposed by Governor Murphy would be a power f ul tool for
revitalizing New Jersey’s urban centers while upholding its storied past,” said New Jersey Economic Development Authorit y CEO Tim Sullivan. “The proposed program’s thoughtful, targeted approach will help to ensure the kind of innovation-focused investment that will spur sustainable economic activity.” “Preser vation of historic sites like 50 Spruce Street contributes to our sense of community and honors those generations t h a t c a m e b efo r e u s ,” said Rep. Bill Pascrell, New Jersey’s only memb e r of t he t a x-w r it i ng House Ways and Means Committee. “A Historic Preservation Tax Credit will help to revitalize our cities and towns through spurred economic devel-
opment and the creation of local jobs. I want to thank Governor Murphy for selecting my hometown of Paterson for this special an nou ncement, e v o k i n g m e m o r i e s of the Silk City’s industrial
root s wh ile ack nowledging its bright future. E s t a bl i s h m e n t of t h i s tax credit is a bold and positive step for our state a nd I w ill cont i nue to fight tooth and nail for its protection on the federal
level.” Thirty-five states currently offer such a program. The proposed Histor ic P reser vat ion Ta x Credit is part of a larger package of five proposed tax incentive bills.

By Allison Murawski JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST —Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst recognized its senior engineering advisor for his dedication to helping develop the next generation of naval aviation leaders during a ceremony on the Lakehurst side of base Jan. 31. Peter Worley, senior engineering advisor for the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Support Equipment (SE) and Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE) engineering department, was named the 2018 Mentor of the Year for NAWCAD Lakehurst. Worley was among 18 Lakehurst employees nominated for the site’s Mentor of the Year Award, which is part of an annual recognition event hosted by the NAVAIR Mentoring Program. “Throughout his nearly 40-year-career with NAVAIR, Pete has exemplified what it means to be a dedicated mentor by using his organizational knowledge and leadership experience to develop the careers of others,” said Kathleen P. Donnelly, NAVAIR SE and ALRE department director. “He is truly deserving of this award and I thank him for doing his part to foster a culture of knowledge-sharing and inclusion here at Lakehurst.” Worley has held positions in both engineering and program management with NAVAIR. He mentors approximately 20 employees in either a formal mentorship through the NAVAIR Mentoring Program or informally on an as-needed basis. “I feel like I’m playing hooky, the government is giving me an hour to sit and chat with some very sharp, young people and I learn probably as much from them about what’s going on in the organization, about what they’re doing and where they want to go in their career,” Worley said. “I try to explain to them what I have done, where I came from and what I did as I progressed through the ranks.” Before Worley starts a mentoring relationship he will often recommend his potential mentee talk to two or three other mentors in order to find a perfect fit, because as he says,
a mentoring relationship is all about trust. “Your mentor is there to provide you the unvarnished truth but that’s only if you’ve got a good relationship with your mentor,” Worley said. “Having someone you can bear your soul to, somebody to help work something through is critical. It’s good to have somebody for those times.” Worley starts his mentoring by helping his mentee create and refine his or her Individual Development Plan with a focus on aligning to command priorities and Executive Core Qualifications. “He is always more than willing to sit down with any employee, and especially his mentees, to create and reinforce a positive culture to meet the organizational strategic goals and objectives,” said Vik Gumber, one of Worley’s mentees who nominated him for the award. “He is always prepared to help the mentee through difficult situations and works with them to develop his/her self-confidence.” Worley watches out for development opportunities for his mentees within NAVAIR, whether it’s through a job rotation, shadowing assignment, networking opportunity or leadership training. He is a supporter of NAVAIR’s Leadership Development Programs and has reviewed more than 50 employees’ leadership program applications in order to help them increase their chances of being accepted. “Peter does not take the responsibility of a mentor lightly,” Gumber said. “He feels invested in the success of the mentee. He is very knowledgeable, compassionate and possesses the attributes of a good teacher and trainer.” Worley encourages his fellow employees to be a mentor, not only because it’s a characteristic of an effective leader, but because it’s rewarding to make a positive impact on employees’ careers. “I’ve been doing it a long time, and I haven’t been doing it for the recognition,” Worley said. “It’s just one of those things that it is nice to be recognized for working with people. It’s very rewarding and it means a lot to me to see them get the job they wanted and do well.”

Around The Jersey Shore Dept. Of Agriculture Seeking Agencies To Sponsor Meals For Summer Nutrition Program
TRENTON – New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher today encouraged organizations to help provide nutritious meals to children in low-income areas during the summer months through the Department’s Summer Food Service Program. The Summer Food Program began in 1976 as an outgrowth of the National School Lunch Program. The Summer Food Service Program is designed to reach those who are age 18 or younger in economically disadvantaged areas. It also is open to people over 18 who are mentally or physically handicapped and who participate in public or nonprofit private programs established for the disabled. The federally funded program reimburses participating organizations for meals served to children who live in areas in which at least 50 percent of the children qualify for free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Program. Applicants may include public or private nonprofit school food authorities, units of local, municipal, county or state governments, public or private nonprofit organizations, residential summer camps or national youth sports programs. Organizations approved to sponsor the Summer Food Service Program are responsible for managing the feeding sites that provide the meals to young children. Most participating organizations may be reimbursed for up to two meals daily. Meals may also be reimbursed for nights and weekends. Those serving primarily migrant children may be reimbursed for up to three meals a day.
Residential camps may serve up to three meals a day, but are reimbursed only for meals served to children eligible for free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Program. More than 590,000 children in New Jersey receive free or reduced-price meals in their schools under the National School Lunch Program. In 2018, only 18 percent of the children in the state participating in the National School Lunch Program had access to nutritious meals in the summer. In 2018, 128 organizations participated in the Summer Food Service Program serving nutritious meals to over 1,400 summer meal sites. In addition to the Summer Food Program, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, Division of Food and Nutrition, administers a number of programs devoted to improving the quality and provision of food to New Jersey residents, in particular those most in need, including School Nutrition Programs and the Child and Adult Care Food Program. The Division of Food and Nutrition also administers The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), which distributes federally donated commodities to six emergency feeding organizations statewide. These federally donated foods are distributed to more than 700 soup kitchens, food pantries and public feeding sites serving the state’s neediest citizens. For more information on the Summer Food Service Program or to obtain an application, call (609) 292-4498. The deadline for submission of completed applications is March 20, 2019.

Fire Safety For Those With Hearing Loss
There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearing Americans who cannot rely on traditional sound-oriented smoke detectors and therefore are at a disadvantage. Decreased hearing can limit a person’s ability to take quick action and escape during a fire emergency. Those with hearing loss need to take extra precautions to protect themselves from the hazards of home fire. This includes being aware of the availability of flashing and/or vibrating smoke alarms and having an effective escape plan in place. Have the proper alerting system: Smoke detectors are not doing their job if you can not hear them. Consider the following statistics: 20 percent of home fires occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., yet these fires account for more than half of all home fire deaths. Something to keep in mind: most smoke detectors produce a relatively high frequency (3000 kHz) sound. Recent studies have revealed that this frequency is not particularly effective in waking u p children, heavy sleepers, those taking sleeping pills or other medication and those who have had too much to drink. In addition, high frequency alarms are almost completely ineffective in alerting people with high frequency hearing loss, accounting for about 90 percent of people with hearing loss and all deaf people. Install a f lashing or vibrating smoke alarm on every level of your home. Test all smoke alarms
monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. People with hearing loss are at greater risk from night time fires because their hearing instruments are typically out of their ears when sleeping. Not all alerting devices meet every need but some do come close. The ideal device would not only sound an alarm but also flash a light and vibrate the bed. This would alert the three most important senses simultaneously. There are a great number of smoke detectors designed specifically for those with a hearing impairment. Light-tone HL bedside fire alarm and clock alerts you by sounding a loud low frequency and vibrating the bed. The combination of the low frequency alarm sounding and the bed shaking wakes even heavy sleepers. Silent call makes great alerting systems that work with more than just smoke detectors. Plan you escape: An important tip is not to isolate yourself. Inform family members, the building manager or a neighbor of your fire safety plan and practice it with them. Contact you local fire department on a non-emergency phone number and explain your special needs. They can help with your escape plan, perform a home inspection and offer suggestions about smoke alarm placement. They can also keep your information on file. For more information about fire safety, visit usfa.fema.gov.
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 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Photoshop Your Face With Collagen Protein
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
For centuries people, especially women have been trying to solve the problem of looking youthful past middle age. It’s very difficult because after four or five decades, our face, skin, hair and nails really show the signs of aging. Our skin feels dry, hair gets finer or falls out and there’s an obvious loss in firmness and elasticity of the skin. The laugh lines and crow’s feet get deeper and deeper. Even the fingernails become weaker and break. Of course, declining estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels cause the signs of aging to become more noticeable, however, hormones aren’t entirely it. The key to looking younger is having plump cells that retain moisture. Also, keeping the matrix underneath our skin intact rather than crumbling. You can do this if you have enough collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin. Today my focus is collagen. You’re born with an abundance of collagen. If you were to take of all your skin and weigh it, 80 percent of the weight would be collagen. That percentage declines by about 2 percent every year after 30 years of age. Collagen ‘photoshops’ you! That’s why when you were younger, you had lovely firm skin, soft hair and strong nails. Your face looked plump and vibrant. The most dramatic reduction of collagen happens in the first 5 years post-menopause, when women lose about 30 percent of our natural collagen stores. The decline continues over the years, although it’s more gradual. One day you look in the mirror and you look older than you thought. And then when
you get our bed in the morning, you feel pain and stiffness in your joints. That’s because collagen is in your cartilage, and when it’s depleted you feel the pain. There are hundreds of supplements of collagen in today’s global market, but there are things you should know about first before trying it. You should be very cautious about the kind of collagen you buy because some aren’t the correct type. I can send you a video about collagen if you’re interested. Collagen can be sourced from cows, pigs, birds, fish scales and more. Some brands don’t get absorbed through your intestinal lining, and others don’t have healthy ratios of the amino acids. Maybe they are low in hydroxyproline or they don’t have vitamin C to activate it. To learn more you can watch my video at suzycohen.com/ collagen-video. When restoring collagen, keep in mind you want tiny particles so the little peptides can get into your cells. The reason for this is so that you can produce the collagen intracellularly. Collagen is a big protein like a long chain that consists of links. The links are amino acids. There are five different types of collagen, named Type I, II, III, IV and V. Type II is what supports joint and cartilage health while Type I and III are beautifying for the hair, skin and nails. I have some videos about collagen, and how to choose the best kind for your needs. Nowadays, you can supplement with collagen shots, powders, drinks and facial serums. These products are available nationwide.

Brick Continues Push For New VA Clinic
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Mayor John G. Ducey recently took a tour of the overcrowded VA outpatient clinic in Brick with Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) and VA staff members to get a “bird’s eye view” of how small the facility is and how inadequate the parking is there. According to the VA staff, veterans book some 400 primary care appointments a day,
and patients have resorted to parking in the dirt at the edge of the woods since there aren’t enough parking spaces, Ducey said during the Feb. 5 council meeting. The township has been lobbying to keep a new 80,000 square-foot outpatient clinic in Brick since the VA is looking to lease a site that could accommodate the larger structure and at least 480 parking spots. Neighboring
Toms River has also been promoting a location. The James J. Howard Outpatient Clinic has been located at 970 Route 70 for 25 years and is used by a large number of military veterans and their families who live in Brick’s 13 adult communities and in other areas of Ocean County. The township administration has proposed
two sites in Brick which are near the Garden State Parkway, are close to Brick Hospital and outside the flood zone. The first site is behind the Lowe’s Home Improvement store on Cedar Bridge Avenue. The second site is a wooded triangle-shaped piece of property located between Burrsville Road, Jack Martin Boulevard and Route 88, which the mayor told the congressman was a perfect site. “It’s large enough for the 400 parking spots they want to have, it’s large enough for the square footage they want for the facility, it’s close to the Parkway, it’s not in flood zone, and it’s right next to our hospital,” Ducey said. “It’s the absolute perfect site, and hopefully our congressman agrees.” More importantly, Ducey said he hopes the VA administration agrees since they’ll be going through the process of lease agreement submissions and financial agreements in March. Both sites would be putting in for that, and he said he assumes another site in Toms River would be applying as well. “It’s something that our veterans need,” Ducey said. “Speaking with the veterans that were there, they want a bigger clinic, they need a bigger clinic and they need more services.” The current facility offers teleconferencing, mental health services, primary care, including lab work and simple x-rays, he said. “All that is available, which sounds like a lot, but depending on what kind of problem you’re dealing with you might not need a simple x-ray, you might need an MRI or a CT scan, in which case you have to drive to the VFW, a bus picks you up and they take you two hours up to the big medical center in East Orange, so that’s going to be available at our new clinic here in Brick,” Ducey said. The VA is also planning for a pain management department at the new facility which could offer cortisone injections, epidurals and more, he said. Ducey said at some point in the future he might ask veterans and residents to write letters to the VA asking to keep the new clinic in Brick. “I don’t think we’re there yet, but we may need it in the future,” Ducey said. “If you go there, it’s bursting at the seams and needs to be updated with a new facility.” The next council meeting will be on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Home Inspections Are An Important Part Of The Home Buying Process
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Dina M. Vicari, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
The process of home buying can be overwhelming. One major concern of all buyers, whether they are a first time home buyer or an experienced real estate investor, is the condition of the home. Certainly, the home may have new rugs or paint and updated countertops, which makes the home aesthetically pleasing. However, more important is the age and condition of the major operating systems, such as the furnace, air conditioning units and electrical panel. Also, does the home have any structural concerns such as foundation cracks or roof leaks, which are not readily visible. Even more concerning, are there any environmental concerns, such as mold or asbestos that would impact the ability to safely reside in the home. All of these concerns can be fully investigated by a certified home inspector, thereby giving a home buyer the necessary information required to make a wise home purchase. A home inspection should always be performed by a New Jersey Certified Home Inspector. Always confirm that the home inspector that is hired has the proper training, sufficient expertise and a flawless reputation. Many times your realtor can provide referrals and work with the home inspector to schedule the inspection. There are several types of home inspections, of which a buyer will have to decide which ones best serve them. The first is the general home inspection to ensure the structure and major operating systems are all performing properly. The second is a termite/wood destroying insect inspection, wherein the inspector will check for signs of active or pass insect activity. Finally, there is a radon inspection, which checks the level of radon in the house. Radon is a radioac-
tive gas formed by the Dina M. Vicari Esq. breakdown of radium, which occurs naturally in some areas. Radon can accumulate in the home, which is not safe for the residents. In addition, if the house utilizes a septic system, well water or oil for heating, the buyer may want to further seek out a specialist to ensure that these essential systems are in compliance with all applicable laws and service the home safely. Also, if the home had a septic or oil removed at some time in the past the potential new home buyer may choose to have tank scans or soil testing to confirm that there is no contamination. Continue reading our follow up articles related to these important home buying tips. Future articles will review the post inspection process of further investigation of governmental records associated with the home, obtaining contractor estimates, and the negotiation process with the seller for repairs or credits. We at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Eagle Ridge Neighbors Given Month To Build Case
–Photo courtesy Eagle Ridge Proposed development of the golf course has upset neighbors. By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – It’s at least a temporary victory for residents of the Fairways at Lake Ridge adult community. Attorneys for those homeowners, the developers of the Eagle Ridge Golf Course, and Lakewood Township’s Planning Board made their cases before Superior Court Assignment Judge Marlene Lynch Ford on a recent afternoon, mere hours before the application for the development of the golf course was to be heard before the planning board. Ford granted an interim restraint for 30 days, allowing the board to reschedule the development hearing for a March meeting. An application to build more than 1,000 housing units on the golf course was to be presented to the board by Parke at Lakewood, an affiliate of GDMS Holdings LLC. They are represented by Paul H. Schneider of Giordano, Halleran & Ciesla in Red Bank. Lakewood Planning Board attorney John J. Jackson had argued against the restraint, saying no one knows how the board would move forward on the application. It is “improper for the court to step in” before the board has even heard the application or sworn testimony. The homeowners’ association is represented by Michele Donato, who is away for the month of February. In her stead for the court appearance was attorney Ronald L. Lueddeke. “There is a substantial impact on the plaintiffs if they are not permitted to participate in a meaningful way tonight,” Ford said. “…I’m inclined at this point to restrain
the hearing for a shortened period of time so it’s not an impact upon the applicant, but secondly to allow the homeowners to, who obviously have an interest in this, to have the opportunity to have a meaningful record developed to affirm their position.” Historic Courtroom 1 at the county justice complex was not packed as anticipated. Less than 20 members of the public attended, most from the Fairways community. The homeowners had filed suit against GDMS Holdings, Lakewood Township and its planning board over the proposed development. In attendance was “the mouth” as one homeowner called him, Frederick Robison and his wife, Patricia, Fairways residents who have been vocal against the Parke at Lakewood. They were viciously attacked in their home back in August and spent months in the hospital and rehabilitation. “Rob,” as he is known, erupted into frequent coughs and spoke slowly and deliberately. Patricia seemed upbeat but said she tires easily. “I think Judge Ford always considers both sides carefully and thoroughly, tends to argue with the attorneys for both sides. I think that month adjournment will provide us the opportunity to flesh out the arguments related to the merits of the entire case,” Rob Robison said. Despite the attack, they plan to continue their fight. “The reality is, the community deserves support. The community deserves to have an individual with my background and experience,” said Rob Robison, who was a city manager and municipal planner. NEED AN EMERGENCY HOME REPAIR?

Parents Are The Front Line Of Internet Safety
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – It is up to parents to manage their children’s internet access, and no one - not teachers and not the police - can do it for you. That was the message given by Detective David Brubaker of the High Tech Crimes Unit Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office who presented an Internet Safety Forum at Brick Memorial High School. “It’s all around us, our lives are immersed in technology, so you have to give kids some education to go along with it,” he said to scores of parents who came to learn about cyber bullying. The High Tech Crimes Unit gets called out on every crime in Ocean County. The unit has four full-time examiners who conduct some 350 investigations a year. The examiners perform digital forensics on submitted or seized devices. When there is a search warrant, they start with the router and work their way outward to laptops, desktops, cell phones, fax machines, printers, gaming machines and more. “Give me someone’s phone and I’ll give you their life,” Brubaker said. “Everything’s traceable on the internet. You can hide behind a fake name and think you’re anonymous, but in four to eight weeks we can trace anything.” Online threats, including cyberbullying, sexual predators and disturbing content is not just limited to kids, but Brubaker geared the presentation towards threats to school-age children. “I’ve seen the smallest, quietest, straight-A, Boy Scout-type kids cyberbully,” Brubaker said. “Your kids are pack animals, and they always find the weak link, or the outsider.” Online gaming can make your children vulnerable to sexual predators since oftentimes kids will give out more information than they should. Sexual predators want to meet your kids and your kids will give out details without even realizing it, he said. Children should never click on an attachment or links of people they don’t know, he said. If they get a lot of pop-ups, that is a clue that they might have done this, Brubaker said. “In reality, your kids are going to see porn at a young age. No one wants your child to see disturbing content, but unfortunately it’s a fact of life,” Brubaker said. “It’s up to you to deal with what they see - it’s upsetting but you have to deal with it.” YouTube is the most popular social net-

work for teens, followed by Instagram and Snapchat. “Kids can search YouTube for any topic they want - it is the second largest search engine behind Google,” he said. Snapchat, which is a messaging service that lets users send photos and videos to one another but then disappear after a set time, makes it easy to cyber bully since the content cannot be retrieved. “Maybe the NSA can retrieve it, but we cannot get Snapchats - once they’re gone, they’re gone,” he said. “We can see that something was sent, but not the content.” Facebook is still the number one social medium, but that’s because it’s used by all ages and by businesses. Kids don’t use Facebook as much because “it’s not cool anymore,” the detective said. The use of technology has quickly changed. Very few people sit down at a terminal unless they’re at work. About 80 percent of all social media happens on a cell phone, he said, which makes it easier for your kids to hide it when you walk into a room. “Bullying will never go away, but if you educate your kids it might not happen as often,” he said. Brubaker said the long-term effects of social media can follow someone all their life. Colleges have staff who snoop into kid’s backgrounds and proactively search all their social media before an acceptance. Many potential employers do the same, he added. After his PowerPoint presentation, Detective Brubaker took questions from the audience. Several parents asked about the “Momo Challenge,” a social media game that encourages children to commit self-injurious acts. The challenge came to light in Brick when a student at Warren H. Wolf Elementary school had allegedly acted on some of the Momo challenges. “Momo started with a challenge, like ‘draw on your arm,’ and then “stick a pin in your finger until you get a drop of blood,’” Brubaker said. “It’s creepy and it will scare a kid, but parents have to talk to their kids and tell them no one on the internet will hurt you unless you do it yourself,” he said. Susan McNamara, who is the district’s Director of Curriculum, said the best options to manage your children’s phones are parental controls, blocking certain sites, tracking their text messages and other provider tools. “You have to talk to your children, not in a judgey way, but ask why do they want to go in that direction? What are they thinking? Tell them they’re not making the best choice and there are consequences,” she said during the Q and A. McNamara also suggested shutting the phone down once in a while, even though kids act like “taking away their phone is like taking away their life.” One parent asked how to find out what the “next big thing” will be on social media. Brubaker said parents have to educate themselves. “Stay on top of what’s going on, that’s what parenting has turned into,” he said. “You try to stay five steps behind them, not 20 steps behind. “You have to keep up. You are the front line with bullies,” Brubaker said.

Open Space Purchased In Berkeley, Manchester, and Ocean Gate
–Photo by Patricia A. Miller On some lots in Good Luck, not much has changed since Superstorm Sandy. By Patricia A. Miller and Jennifer Peacock BERKELEY – It’s been more than six years since Superstorm Sandy blasted the Good Luck Point section of Bayville, destroying many of the homes in one of the lowest sections of the township. Most of the modest two- and three-bedroom ranch homes, many of which had been in families for years, are gone now. They have been replaced by much larger homes with multiple stories in the section east of Bayview Avenue. But there are still a number of vacant lots in the area, which haven’t sold. Good Luck Point juts out into Barnegat Bay and frequently floods during storms. And now the lots probably won’t be for sale. The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust has received nineteen voluntary requests from homeowners in the area who want to sell their properties to the trust, said Mark Villinger, the trust’s supervising planner. The sale of the properties must be approved by the township and by the Ocean County Board of Freeholders, he said. “A lot of these owners are very happy to see some movement,” Villinger told the Berkeley Times. The cost of the Good Luck Point acreage will be paid for with the help of $4.2 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency money and a Department of Environmental Protection grant of $923,805. The county’s Natural Trust Fund will also provide $416,994, roughly eight percent of the cost, Freeholder Director Virginia Haines said. “We are working in partnership with FEMA, the state DEP and the Office of Emergency Management and Berkeley Township to acquire these properties which were impacted by Superstorm Sandy in October 2012, resulting in the homes being demolished,” Haines said. “When we began to see an increase in the number of requests we were receiving for potential acquisitions in the area of Good Luck Point it was clear that there was a need for a larger acquisition project.” Ten offers have been accepted as of press time, totaling $2.4 million, she said. “These properties expand on existing natural lands open space and provide additional public access to the waterfront,” said Freeholder Gary Quinn, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Planning Department, which oversees the county’s Natural Lands Trust Fund. “This was one of the areas of our county devastated
by Superstorm Sandy,” Haines said. “By acquiring these properties we are hopeful it helps the property owners, who sustained a great loss. It also allows the township to receive additional points under the Community Rating System, which gives residents discounts on their flood insurance.” Berkeley Council members voted unanimously at the Jan. 28 council meeting to approve the potential sale of the lots and marshland in the Good Luck Point area. The county also wants to buy 4.7 acres on Chelsea Avenue in nearby Ocean Gate, at the mouth of Jeffries Creek that feeds into the Toms River. It features a beach, lagoon and bulkheading, which provides public access to the water. The land has some structures on it that have fallen into disrepair, which will be removed by the county, she said. “This purchase will help us in our ongoing work to protect and preserve our waterways now and into the future.” Haines said. Ocean Gate has already adopted a resolution approving the purchase. The advisory committee has also recommended the purchase of 5.68 acres in the Roosevelt City section of Manchester, appraised at $40,000. The scattered lots are near 1,700 acres called the Structural Management tract, purchased for preservation back in 2014. “This acquisition will allow for the vacation of unimproved paper streets and enable better security and management of the existing natural lands property,” Haines said. “We estimate this natural-lands property will grow by about 100 acres if the streets are vacated. “Buying these smaller lots that are near or adjacent to already preserved open space helps us with maintaining the property by creating one contiguous open space parcel.” The Natural Lands Trust Fund program was established to acquire and maintain environmentally sensitive lands, natural areas or open spaces that would generally remain in their natural state and for farmland preservation, according to the program’s website. The properties that are purchased will be used as passive recreation areas, Villinger said. Ocean County residents approved the Natural Lands Trust Program back in 1997. The program, which was established in 1998, provides a 1.2 cent dedicated tax for the county to acquire land. The trust has nine members.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of feb 23 - MAR 1
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): IImpose your will. There is nothing that you can’t achieve in the upcoming week if you simply set your mind to it. Roll up your sleeves and tackle tough assignments with determination but avoid starting anything new. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Just tag along for the ride. Someone may insist on being the star of the show, but it might be your timely advice that makes all the difference. Your personal agenda may be temporarily put on hold this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Follow someone else’s lead. Unconventional thinkers may show you a whole new way of solving tough problems. Surround yourself with movers and shakers this week and their know-how may rub off. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Strive for perfection. Take criticisms to heart as you should never be so content that you stop trying to improve your performance. Have confidence that you will succeed, in the upcoming week, and it will be so. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Small steps add up to big progress. Saving a few pennies here or there can eventually yield a surplus or whittling away at a tough task a little bit at a time can make it easier. Talk things over with your partner. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Those who refuse to bend may break. Avoid being too rigid with your demands as it may be difficult to make progress without compromise. Make sure you are looking at reality instead of what you want to see.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Start from scratch. It may be necessary to employ sweeping changes over the next few days to clear out an annoying obstacle. Make sure that everyone involved is on board with your decisions during the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stay focused on your objectives. You hold all the cards in negotiations, but little will be gained unless you are completely sure of what you want. Take time to mull over your options as this week unfolds. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ambition may come at a cost. You can have it your way this week but take care that your methods don’t rub someone the wrong way. Find creative solutions that are beneficial to everyone involved. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Clear the air. Make an extra effort to explain your intentions or goals as being too vague may only create unnecessary confusion. Don’t assume that close friends or loved ones know what you’re thinking. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If something is broken, fix it. Don’t hesitate to make changes if you are dissatisfied with how a situation is progressing as your intuitions serve you well. New friends may figure into your future plans. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Clear your responsibilities and clear your mind. Checking those nagging chores off your to-do list will allow you to focus on what you really want to do. Friends will be glad to do favors or support you in the week ahead.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen I Cannot Tell A Lie: This Cherry-Chocolate Bread Pudding Is A Low-Fat Treat By Wolfgang Puck
Presidents Day has always puzzled me a bit, for two reasons. Officially, the holiday has been observed on the third Monday of February since the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, created to give workers more three-day weekends, was passed into law by the U.S. Congress in 1968 and then took effect three years after that. But did you know that no U.S. President’s birthday actually ever falls on President’s Day? That’s because those of the two Chief Executives who are jointly celebrated on the holiday - George Washington (Feb. 22) and Abraham Lincoln (Feb. 12) - along with two more born this month (William Henry Harrison on Feb. 9 and Ronald Reagan on Feb. 6) fall either too early or too late in the month to ever land squarely on the third Monday. Still, the day feels like a special occasion to remember Washington and Lincoln. And, like most holidays, it typically includes food as part of the observance. Which leads to the other thing that makes me scratch my head, as I’ve mentioned before at this time of year: the cherry pies that some people make on Presidents Day. Whether or not you believe the old, probably apocryphal story about young George Washington admitting to chopping down a neighbor’s cherry tree with the words, “I cannot tell a lie,” cherry pie simply doesn’t make sense at this time of year. Cherries are a summer fruit, and the tart ones that work best in pies have a shorter season, generally from late June to early August, depending on where they’re grown. So making a cherry pie for President’s Day seems odd to me, especially considering the fact that doing so would usually require you to use watery and less flavorful frozen cherries or overly sweet and gloppy canned pie filling. Fortunately, there is another form of the fruit that I think is wonderful to enjoy year-round: dried cherries. They have a deliciously concentrated, tart-sweet flavor, a deep ruby color and a delightfully chewy consistency similar to that of raisins or dried cranberries. Of course, they would be too dense and intense to make a cherry pie from them. But I think you’ll enjoy this form of the fruit in another popular dessert that’s perfect for wintertime: my low-fat chocolate bread pudding with dried cherries. My health-conscious recipe substitutes egg whites for some of the whole eggs typically used in bread puddings, and tangy low-fat buttermilk for the usual whole milk or cream. Yet, it achieves a satisfyingly rich flavor and consistency - all while deriving less than a third of its calories from fat. And I cannot tell a lie: It’s delicious! LOW-FAT CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING WITH DRIED CHERRIES
Serves 8 to 12 1 cup (250 mL) buttermilk 2/3 cup (165 mL) good-quality bitte sweet chocolate chips 1/2 cup (125 mL) plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 4 large egg whites 2 large eggs Nonstick cooking spray 4 slices good-quality whole wheat bread, about 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick, trimmed and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes 6 tablespoons dried cherries 1 cup (250 mL) plain nonfat Greek yogurt, for serving Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting In a saucepan, combine the buttermilk, chocolate chips, 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the granulated sugar, and the cocoa powder. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and sugar have melted and the mixture is well combined. Remove from the heat. Fill a large bowl with ice cubes and water. In a slightly smaller bowl, using a hand mixer or wire whisk, beat together the egg whites and eggs until lightly foamy. Beating continuously, slowly sprinkle in the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and continue beating until the mixture looks fluffy. Then, whisking continuously, very slowly pour in the chocolate mixture. Set the bowl inside the larger bowl of ice water to chill. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Fill a pan or kettle with water and bring to a boil. Spray the inside of a 4-by-9-inch (10-by22.5-cm) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread half of the bread cubes in the baking dish. Scatter in the dried cherries and then top with more bread cubes. Stir the cooled chocolate-egg mixture and spoon it evenly over the bread cubes. Leave to soak until the oven has reached the desired temperature. Place the baking dish inside a larger baking pan with high sides. Pull out an oven rack and place the baking pan on the rack; carefully pour enough of the boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the side of the baking dish. Carefully slide the rack into the oven. Bake the bread pudding until the custard has set, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the pan from the oven, and remove the baking dish from the pan to a rack. Serve hot, lukewarm, or cooled and refrigerated, cutting into 8 to 12 portions. If you like, top each portion with a small scoop of nonfat Greek yogurt and dust with a little confectioners’ sugar before serving.
