GOP Leader Guilty, Loses Local Power
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – After a local political leader was convicted of charges relating to tax evasion, he has been losing positions of power. George Gilmore, 70, of Toms River, is the county chairman of the Republican party. He was recently convicted of three charges related to tax evasion with his firm, Gilmore & Monahan. This firm does a lot of work for local municipalities. His attorney, Kevin Marino, has said that he is seeking to overturn the conviction. He did not return a request to comment for this story.

–Photos courtesy Toms River Schools Children were encouraged to write letters to state decision makers. By Chris Lundy TOMS R I V ER – School district representatives have met with state officials several times over the past few months, but now they also want the governor to come to them. The meetings have
been over legislation that has changed the way state aid is given to schools. The law, S-2, will cut approximately $83 million in state aid over the next six years to Toms River, including $2.8 million in the (Cuts - See Page 5)
Burlington Coat Factory To Move Into Toys R Us Building
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Burlington Stores - more popularly known as Burlington Coat Factory - will be moving into Toms River. The company plans to open a location where Toys R Us operated for decades. That 45,000-square-foot building at Hooper Avenue
and Route 571 has been vacant since the store closed last year. Toys R Us filed for bankruptcy in September 2018. The company reemerged in early 2019 as “Tru Kids Brands.” There haven’t been any updates about the company since February. (Building - See Page 17)
Can Gilmore Vote? Gilmore had been serving as the chairman of the Board of Elections until his resignation effective April 23, according to county administrator Carl Block. He has also put in his paperwork to the state to retire effective May 1. This is the only regular county employment he has. By statute, the Board of Elections is made up of two Republicans and two Democrats. These positions are appointed by the governor and they expire every two years. Gilmore was last appointed by Chris Christie on May 26, 2016. He receives $22,500 a year for this job, as well as insurance benefits and a pension. Another commissioner, Rabbi Yisroel Schenkolewski, was last appointed by Jon Corzine on May 20, 2009. The other two commissioners, Matthew Sage and Wyatt Earp, were appointed by Gov. Phil Murphy and their positions expire in 2020 and 2021. Earp makes $37,750. Sage and Schenkolewski make $15,000. Sage is the only one who doesn’t get insurance. When Murphy’s office was asked about the missing appointment paperwork regarding the Board of Elections, a spokesman replied “The Governor’s Office does not comment on appointments that have not yet been made.” Schenkolewski’s re-appointment is pending, Block said. The request to re-appoint is (Leader - See Page 4)

Leader:
Continued From Page 1 making its way through state offices now. Although Gilmore and Schenkolewski’s appointments appear to have been lapsed, Block said these were holdover appointments. These positions need to be filled, and in case of a delay in making an appointment, the current members hold onto their spots. The county Republicans now must submit a new name to the state to appoint someone into that spot, Block explained. According to New Jersey Statute 19:31-17, Gilmore, having been convicted of a crime, can not vote. Additionally, he might have been removed if he had not stepped down voluntarily. According to NJSA 19:6-4 Removal of members: “A judge of the Superior Court or the county board shall have power to dismiss any member of a district board from such board for an illegal act, or for any cause which shall be determined in a summary way by such judge or county board.” Resigns From Political Action Committee Gilmore had been influential in the state as well through his work with the GOPAC political action committee. According to its website, GOPAC is a political action committee organized in 1978 that raises funds for Republican campaigns and educates candidates on the best practices in winning an election. “George Gilmore was a member of the GOPAC Board of Directors until April 2019 when he submitted his resignation,” replied Jessica Curtis, executive director
of GOPAC. “We appreciate his counsel and efforts to help advance our mission during his tenure.” A 2014 article by NJ.com revealed thousands of dollars of donations going into GOPAC from contractors who in turn won millions of dollars in jobs from municipalities. It is illegal for a contractor to win a job from a candidate who they donated to, but there is no law against a contractor donating to a political action committee which then donates to a candidate. According to this article, Gilmore became the state chairman for GOPAC in 2010, the same year Chris Christie took office. Immediately, donations increased under his tenure, although Gilmore said in that article that donors have no say in where their donations go. Losing Power Although the federal tax case might be over, the state seems to be stepping in. “I can confirm that the Attorney General’s Office will be pursuing the forfeiture of all public positions held by Mr. Gilmore,” stated Sharon Lauchaire, the director of the office of communications for the New Jersey Attorney General’s office. The state did not elaborate if this meant his public position such as the Election Board, where he stepped down, or if it means being the township attorney at many towns. For many of these towns, Gilmore rarely attends, but rather someone in his firm is at most meetings. Gilmore’s law firm did work for a number of local governing bodies. Some of these were subpoenaed by investigators. In February of 2017, Micromedia Publications
reached out to some of the local towns to find out if they had been subpoenaed. Some responded, some did not. Berkeley’s attorney, Lauren Staiger, who works for Gilmore and Monahan, said in January of 2017 that the town was served a subpoena seeking township records such as contracts and bills relating to the law firm, and their corresponding council resolutions and minutes of those meetings. Bay Head had been subpoenaed. Eagleswood uses Gilmore and Monahan. However, they did not receive any subpoenas as of February of 2017. Jackson Township, Lacey Township, Plumsted Township all were subpoenaed. Manchester Board of Education had used Thomas Monahan, the other half of the firm, but they reported that they were not subpoenaed. The boards of education for Bay Head, Point Pleasant, and Toms River all replied that they did not receive a subpoena. Left Lobbying Firm Even before the trial, Gilmore parted ways amiably last year with lobbying firm 1868 Public Affairs. According to managing partner Richard Ambrosino Jr., Gilmore’s split from the firm was made official in December of 2018, but he had not done any work for them for at least six months prior, Ambrosino said. His work dried out when the administration in the state switched from Republican Chris Christie to Democrat Phil Murphy. Gilmore was an early supporter of Christie’s, and served on his transition team when the governor took office in 2010. Murphy assumed office in January of 2018.
Gilmore started with 1868 Public Affairs around 2010, Abrosino said. He resigned to concentrate on his law firm, and 1868 asked for a letter of resignation in December to have it on record. “It’s not something rare in this business,” he said of someone leaving after a politician is out of office, noting that partners in the firm have had personal relationships with Gilmore for 20 years. The Charges Gilmore was found guilty of one charge of making false statements on a 2015 loan application submitted to Ocean First Bank, and two charges of failing to collect, account for, and pay over payroll taxes withheld from employees for two quarters in 2016. A press release from the U.S. Attorney’s office detailed the charges. As a partner and shareholder at Gilmore & Monahan, he was in control of the law firm’s financials. For tax quarters ending March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the firm withheld tax payments from its employees’ checks, but Gilmore did not pay them in full to the IRS. Regarding the loan application, he applied for a Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA) to obtain refinancing of a mortgage loan for $1.5 million with a “cash out” provision that provided Gilmore would obtain cash from the loan on Nov. 21, 2014. On Jan. 22, 2015, he updated the application, failing to disclose outstanding 2013 tax liabilities and personal loans he got from other people. He had received $572,000 from the cash out portion of the loan. (Leader - See Page 17)

Cuts:
Continued From Page 1 2019-2020 budget. Senate President Steve Sweeney has said that districts like Toms River were overfunded, and with declining enrollment, they don’t need as much aid. Other districts that were considered underfunded received more aid. Superintendent David Healy observed that whenever there’s a press conference, it’s held at a district that received more money. But it’s never at a community that lost money. He invited the governor, Department of Education Commissioner, Speaker of the House, and Senate President to “come to Toms River and hold a town hall in arguably the community that has been impacted the most. “We shouldn’t be pitting one child against another child or one district against another,” he said. Two-thirds of the districts were winners, in terms of funding, and “there should be no losers.” Since the bill was introduced, district staff have had multiple in-person meetings with state officials, he said. “We remain hopeful that our efforts will have dividends,” he said. “I can assure you
The Toms River Times, April 27, 2019, Page 5 we’re being heard.” The district sent 27 school buses to Trenton on March 5. They expect even more at an April 30 rally, at the courthouse annex, at 10:30 a.m. They will deliver more than 30,000 letters written by children, staff, and community members, in a scene reminiscent of “Miracle On 34th Street.” At a recent Board of Education meeting, a letter was read to the crowd to give an example of what the letters entail. The student was concerned about athletics being cut due to the loss in funding. She explained how many of her friends come from playing sports. “I want to do sports just like other kids in middle school,” the student wrote. “If you were a good governor, you would change your mind on this decision.” Following up on this, Healy said that the biggest window of time for children to get into trouble is between 3 and 6 p.m. These are times that they are home alone. Afterschool athletics and clubs help keep them focused on positive things. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer and Toms River Police Chief Mitch Little have said to him that they want these programs to continue, to keep
kids out of trouble during the worst opioid epidemic the county has ever seen. Two Hooper Avenue Elementary School teachers, Karen Husenica and Jennifer Zieser, spoke about the letter writing campaign during the meeting. “We teach our students every day about speaking up for what is right and being problem solvers. I felt and hoped that Governor Murphy would be more responsive to the 16,000 little voices of our Toms River school community. Our students, kindergartners through seniors in high school, have eagerly embraced the opportunity to become involved in the campaign to save our schools,” their statement read. “The decimation to our community, schools, and others like us will be something that taxpayers statewide

will see as his doing, all while he had the opportunity to be the fixer of the problem.” Ed Keller, the principal of High School North, said that when students are brought to Trenton, they come from all walks of life “because we wanted them to see all our faces.” Scott Campbell, president of the Toms River Education Association, spoke about how the school system is always one of the strongholds of a community. If it fails, you’re going to see more dollar stores and thrift shops in town. The district joined more than 70 others in a lawsuit urging the state to fix its flawed funding formula. The district is urging lawmakers for a joint legislative committee to be immediately convened, with an aggressive timeline, to solve these problems.

F eatured L etter Honoring Parkinson’s Awareness Month It ’s e s t i m a t e d t h a t 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) each yea r a nd one m illion Americans are currently living with this neurodegenerative disease. Commonly known for it s movement or mo tor-related symptoms, people with PD are often more impacted by non-motor sy mptom s like apathy, depression, sleep behavior disorders, loss of sense of smell and cognitive impairment. April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, and I, along with the Park inson’s Association, local suppor t g roups, and medical facilities, u rge ever yone i n t he state of New Jersey to join our community as we work together to promote awareness and help fund the f ight against Parkinson’s.
To get involved, individuals can donate to the Parkinson’s Foundation to support research and programs, participate in an event, or share their or others’ stories on social media. To get a list of activities in your area, go to Parkinson.org and click on “events.” I, myself was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, nearly 5 years ago, and I’ve been working and researching the disease for just as long. If you or someone you know is living with PD, you are not alone. Call our toll-free helpline, 1- 80 0 - 4PD -I N FO, or visit Parkinson.org. Together, we can make life better for people with Parkinson’s disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. Michael P. Jacobs Toms River

Have Your Voice Heard On Howell Asphalt Plant The Howell Zoning Board has been considering a variance that would allow the construction of an asphalt manufacturing plant on Yellowbrook Road, by Cranberry Road in Howell. The town council and mayor passed an ordinance in July of 2017 that prohibited asphalt manufacturing. Some of the major issues, and presumably the reasons it is not allowed, include truck traffic on secondary roads, fire and health hazards, and noise. It has been proven in the months of testimony, for example, that major highway paving jobs occur at night, and there would be a large number of trucks going down nearby roads at night that would exceed the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Noise Control Regulations and cause sleep interruption at many homes. The Zoning Board is allowing public input at its Monday, April 29 meeting, starting at 7:30 p.m. If you are concerned about the impact this will have on you and your neighborhood, this is your chance to be heard. The meeting is at the Howell Township municipal building on Route 9. Les Spindel Howell
Congressman Smith Votes Against Women On April 8, 2019 Congressman Chris Smith voted against reinstating the Violence Against Women Act. When the Asbury Park Press endorsed Congressman Chris Smith, last fall, the endorsement said “We have disagreed with Smith on some issues over the years, including his views on reproductive choice and gay marriage, but we have never questioned his motives or his integrity.” Where is the integrity in
Letters To race The voting against the Violence relations Editor and the selling the media transmit biased Against Women’s Act? Where is the integrity in Smith’s comment “I do not construe homosexual rights to be the same as human rights” and then voting to discriminate against LGBTQ people and deny them benefits? Smith has voted against equal pay for women, voted to outlaw birth control, voted to allow bosses to deny women birth control through insurance plans based on the religious ideology of the boss! Smith voted to allow bosses to terminate women for being unwed mothers. Smith leads the extreme and dangerous personhood movement which strips pregnant women of their human rights, giving the fetus full human rights. Personhood bans most forms of birth control, criminalizes abortion and in vitro fertilization. Smith has written bills on rape that change the definition of rape to forcible rape making rape victims and incest victims have to prove rape by being beaten bloody or worse, based on Smith’s definition. Where is the Integrity? It’s time we stop making excuses for poor leadership and elect a congressman that cares about women. Robin Nowicki Manalapan
Trump Haters Should Do Something More Constructive This letter was written in response to the letter “Why Do People Love Trump?” in a previous issue of this paper. Mr. Molinari begins his anti-Trump tirade by admitting he has allowed his own health to suffer since President Donald Trump was elected. Fact aside that it’s going to be a very long almost six more years that he will be there, I suggest with all sincerity that he try what I did for eight horrific years of low employment, terrible
out of our friends and allies to our enemies under BHO. Relax and breathe. Be a comfort to your community by volunteering. Plant some trees and flowers. Visit the sick and the elderly. Read to underprivileged children. Do something other than an nou nce you r disdain for your president and hatred for half of your fellow Americans. Mr. Molinari speaks of virtue. Virtue isn’t the acceptance of such abominations as abortion and non-gender assignments of children. It’s neither the establishment’s call to war over every dispute. He speaks of religions that are excused for bad behavior. Did the 990,000 Christians who were killed since 2009 somehow escape his news feed? The Jews who are blocked from speaking out on social media, do they not deserve a voice? Mr. Molinari goes on to blame the “media,” Fox News in par ticular, for spreading false information. Not once since President Trump was proven right on any issue has CNN or MSN offered a retraction, never mind an apology. Not one Trump supporter that I know believes Donald Trump is infallible. That is his particular trait that we love. He doesn’t speak like a sleek, slippery, slimy politician. And yet, he gets the job done. The first step is always the hardest, Mr. Molinari. Now perhaps a support group for those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome is in order. Patricia Conlon Whiting
Media Bias Is Widespread The word bias refers to showing an unjustified favoritism toward something or someone. Thus, on a very simplistic level, media bias refers to the media exhibiting an unjustifiable favoritism as they cover the news. When
news reports, those reports present viewers with an inaccurate, unbalanced, and/ or unfair view of the world around them. The definition of media bias is a lot like Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart’s definition of pornography “I know it when I see it.” Media bias is real. It reduces the quality of journalism, and it fosters distrust among readers. Hiding behind the First Amendment the mainstream media constantly blankets the public with inaccurate slanted hit pieces and have become no more than the far left propaganda wing of the Democrat party. To name a few CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post and the NY Times. Much of the public doesn’t realize just how strict the code of conduct that journalists have traditionally followed. The Journalist’s Creed stands in bronze at the National Press Club in Washington, DC for all to see, it states in part that “individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another’s instructions or another’s dividends.” I challenge any and all who call themselves journalists, at any and all professional levels to read the creed and then perform a sincere inventory of his or her journalistic practices. Conservatives are an alien species in many newsrooms. The resulting slanted (and occasionally hostile) coverage leaves conservatives rightly distrustful. This breeds the perception that the media is out to get them, and gives credence to the saying “fake news.” Opinion or fact or somewhere in between the results of this bias include slanted news, withheld information, warped priorities, and discrediting news sources that cover stories they intentionally ignore. The question is what ever happened to the free press; what ever happened to honest reporting? Art Mooney Little Egg Harbor

Booker Joins Colleagues In Introducing Medicare For All Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Cory Booker (DNJ) joined 14 of his Senate colleagues in introducing the Medicare for All Act of 2019, a bill to guarantee health care to every American as a right, not a privilege. The United States spends far more per capita on health care than any other nation; however, 34 million Americans do not have health insurance, thousands of people die each year because they cannot afford medical care, almost one in three adults with insurance have been unable to afford the care they need and nearly half fear bankruptcy in the event of a health emergency. The legislation fundamentally transforms the country’s dysfunctional health care system by eliminating profit-driven health insurance corporations and instead covering every resident through
an improved Medicare plan at far lower cost to working families and the nation as a whole. “Every single person deserves health care they can afford, and no one should go bankrupt or suffer from illness because the cost is too high,” Senator Booker said. “Our nation’s per capita health care spending is more than twice the average of other developed nations, and yet we continue to suffer worse outcomes on basic measures of a healthy society, like maternal and infant mortality. We need to expand access to health care in this country and dramatically lower the cost for American families. Medicare for all achieves this goal by ensuring the fundamental right to health care to everyone at an affordable price.” The Medicare for All Act of 2019 would ensure that Amer-
icans could go to the doctor of their choice and get the care they need, when they need it, without going into debt. It would significantly lower the price of prescription drugs by empowering the federal government to negotiate with pharmaceutical corporations. And it would expand coverage to include home and community based long-term care services, ensuring people with disabilities can receive the care they need to stay in their homes and remain part of their communities. Under this bill, Americans will benefit from the freedom and security that comes with finally separating health insurance from employment. As is the case in every other major country, employers would be free to focus on running their businesses rather than spending time, energy and money trying to provide health insurance to their employees. Studies from the Rand Corporation and even the conservative Mercatus Center have found that a Medicarefor-all, single-payer system would save the American people money by reducing

rising health care spending and significantly lowering administrative costs. “In my view, the current debate over Medicare for All really has nothing to do with health care. It’s all about greed and profiteering. It is about whether we maintain a dysfunctional system which allows the top 5 health insurance companies to make over $20 billion in profits last year,” Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said. “The American people are increasingly clear. They want a health care system which guarantees health care to all Americans as a right. They want a healthcare system which will lower healthcare costs and save them money. They want a health care system which will guarantee them freedom of choice as to which doctor or hospital they can go to. They want a health care system which will substantially lower the cost of prescription drugs. They want Medicare for seniors which will finally cover dental care, hearing aids and eyeglasses. In other words, they want Medicare for All, and that’s what we will deliver to them.” Seventy percent of Ameri-

SKIN DEEP
Although few people think of it as such, the skin is actually the largest organ of the human body. Unlike the vast majority of the body’s organs, it is constantly exposed to the outside world. It forms a protective barrier that is essential in preserving overall health. The skin absorbs certain nutrients and expels bodily by-products. It is quite vulnerable to the sun’s harmful rays, irritants and a host of fungi and bacteria. While there is a multitude of problems the skin can endure, most of us simply want to look good. In the weeks to come, we will discuss unhealthy conditions, treatments and preventive measures that can be applied to the skin, above and beneath the surface. Welcome to our new column on skin care for you and your family. It is our mission to help our patients learn how to create and maintain healthy and beautiful skin in a nurturing and peaceful environment. There’s no need to wait months for an appointment – call today for a skin cancer screening. P.S: We will be at the Toms River Municipal Alliance Senior Health Fair on Friday, May 24th! Stop by for information and to speak with one of our providers between 9am and 2pm.

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Foundation has pledged two new grants totaling $345,000 over the next 3 years to the Toms River Regional School District. Those grants will support a Youth Counseling Program in all 18 district schools, and a coding and robotics makerspace in Intermediate North and Intermediate South. The Youth Counseling Program is being piloted at four schools. The grants will amount to $65,000 over 3 years. “From a health and wellness standpoint, everything we’ve been doing over the past few years has been leading up to this,” Assistant Superintendent Debra McKenna said, “including development of a K-12 committee dedicated to a summer health and leadership camp, participation in the Toms River Family Health and Support Coalition, a focus in training on social-emotional learning, and the successful pilot of this counseling model.” Individual sessions and parent/guardian support will be offered in this expanded program. Licensed therapists will have office hours in each school based on need, offering counseling about school difficulties, parent/child conflicts, trauma, anger management, bereavement and adjustments to life changes. Over 2 years, the coding and robotics grant will
total $150,000, first at Intermediate North next school year and Intermediate South in 2020-21. “Ideally, every classroom across the curriculum would be fully equipped to support project-based learning models where students can brainstorm personal solutions to local and global problems,” Assistant Superintendent Marc Natanagara said, “but most school budgets can’t support that. So the next best thing is a shared space for students and staff to learn these techniques and have access to diverse tools and materials.” Those classrooms are based on the grant-funded Innovation Station at Intermediate East. Edele Hovnanian, president of the foundation, visited the schools to tour two renovated spaces the foundation funded, the Real Estate and Business Incubator at High School South, and Anatomy and Physiology Lab at High School East. “Ms. Hovnanian’s reinvestment in our schools could not come at a better time, as we face extreme fiscal challenges and seek to continue providing our students the education they deserve,” Board President Joseph Nardini said. “The programs her foundation chose to support are as diverse as our students, and both will make them better-prepared for the world ahead. We’re a better school district because of Edele Hovnanian’s support and we’re fortunate to call her a partner.”

Toms River Schools Receive Second Year Of Funding For Techready Initiative
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – The Office of Naval Research (ONR) has awarded Toms River Regional Schools with a second grant funding the district’s TR:TechReady initiative. In 2018, Toms River Schools received the largest single competitive grant in its history from ONR, totaling over $760,000. This grant supported the TR:TechReady program, which is a computer coding initiative addressing district, industry, and naval goals. Based on the program’s performance in year one, program leaders were awarded another grant for $256,482 for Year 2, starting May 1. Since April 2018, ONR funding helped purchase devices and materials to make coding physical, programming devices and apps at the core of robots, drones, cell phones, and household appliances, according to the district. “The district ran summer coding camps for 150 students and staff, and provided staff training and student field experiences and competitions during the year. It inspired new and revised high school courses with coding at their core,” stated a release from the district. “The ideas tested in TR:TechReady helped the district win a more focused grant from the NJ Department of Education to help meet the anticipated 2022 mandate that all students study computer science as a requirement for graduation, which also includes dual college credit and the chance to earn industry-valued credentials.” TR: TechReady has helped to create a productive conversation around computer science in many ways throughout the state by promoting the idea that all students can code regardless of age, gender, ability, ethnicity, or means. TechReady also emphasizes that computer science is relevant across all content areas, bringing coding to Spanish, English, Earth Science, and other non-traditional CS
subjects. Lastly, the program brings “coding beyond the keyboard” by applying code to physical devices and addressing real world problems. The addition of grant funding to the district is extremely helpful, especially at a time when the state’s revised funding formula has cut state aid funding from many NJ school districts. “What’s unusual about this program is that it assumes coding and computational thinking can be learned by and be of benefit to everyone, not just in STEM classes, but in every content area and career,” stated Assistant Superintendent Dr. Marc Natanagara, lead writer of the original application and its revisions. The research team from Year 1 looked carefully at career trends, regional needs, and applications in students’ lives to develop relevant and authentic activities. One programming language is being used to decipher and analyze DNA sequences, one for peer teaching, and another to create virtual reality experiences. In Year 2, the district plans to focus on more coding languages deemed to be important in industry. To strengthen its high school initiative, they will use some of the grant funds to establish “feeder” programs at the three intermediate schools, using successful models developed at the high schools in Year 1. The expanded program will center on the concept of artificial intelligence (AI), which will help students focus on practical implementations of STEM and coding into areas like data analysis and visualization, human-tech interfaces, machine learning, and game theory, in applications as diverse as cybersecurity, energy, climate change, and internet of things (IoT). Should year 2 be successful, the district plans to expand coding activities at the elementary level.

High Schoolers Win Big At Delaware Valley Science Fair
TOMS RIVER – Toms River Regional Schools had the best results ever from its ASR (authentic science research) students at this year’s Delaware Valley Science Fair. And that’s saying a lot. Prior to this year district students have earned first-place finishes (Catrina Shea, High School South, $100 award) and scholarships (Emily Wengrowski, $3,000 scholarship from AAWA, American Waterworks Association, a few years ago). This year, however, was special even by TRRS ASR standards. High School South ASR student Leonora Krajewski won $50 for third place in the 12th-grade Engineering category with “The Effect of a Wind-Powered Kite Sail on Cargo Ship Fuel Consumption on a Voyage from Shanghai, China to Long Beach, California.” She also won the following: Science and Technology Award Scholarship to Harrisburg University of Science and Technology worth $8,000 The Dietrich W. Botstiber Foundation $8,000 unrestricted scholarship for a senior with a project related to aviation The Dorothy M. Hoffman Award from the Society of Women Engineers for $1,000 Ricoh Sustainable Development Award for a student whose research has demonstrated the Principles and Technical Innovations that offer the greatest potential for Sustainable Development The grand total of $17,000 is scholarships is the most in HSS history. Leonora, who was unable to compete in the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium competition this year because the government shutdown prevented her access to NOAA data sets she was using for her project, will be attending the United States Coast Guard Academy in the fall. Meanwhile High School North junior ASR student Isabella Onofrietti, who won third place at Stockton in the grade 11-12 Botany Category with “The Inhibitory Effects of Fruit Seed Extracts on Cariogenic and Periopathogentic Bacteria,” won $75 and second place at the Delaware Valley Science Fair in the 11th-grade Botany category. Isabella also won a Science and Technology Award Scholarship to Harrisburg Uni-
versity of Science and Technology $8,000, a $30,000 scholarship from the University of the Sciences, and the USDA Eastern Regional Research Future Scientist Award to present her research at their lab facility and tour the labs. Isabella has competed every year in the Stockton Science Fair from 6th through 11th grade, and has made it to the Delaware Valley Science Fair five out of six years. Isabella Onofrietti is the all-time highest monetary winner in the Toms River School district to date. HSN sophomore ASR student Giovanna Onofrietti placed first at the Jersey Shore Science Fair at Stockton University in the 9th and 10th grade Environmental Category with “Bioengineering E. coli to Generate Natural Pigments for Use in the Production of Safer Dyes.” Giovanna was moved by Dan Fagin’s book Toms River about the childhood cancer cluster linked to dye pollution. Giovanna also won The Excellence in Science Award to participate in the Annual Spring STEM Invitational with the 50 best STEM projects from the States of NJ, DE, VA, MD and PA, hosted by West Nottingham Academy. Giovanna placed third, winning an Apple Watch and a $60,000 scholarship to the West Nottingham Academy, the oldest boarding school in the nation. HSN freshman Julietta Onofrietti won a special award from the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Parenteral Drug Association a group dedicated to the advancement of pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical manufacturing science. Her project was “The Effect of Mangifera indica and Cinnamomum zeylancium Evergreen Tree Bark Extracts on Oral Bacteria Prevalent in Periodontal Disease.” HSN senior ASR student Shannon Culbert won first place in the general poster session in the Engineering Category for her project titled “Development and Characterization of Polystyrene - High-Density Polyethylene Polymer Composites.” All in all, it was a remarkable showing for students, and a proud moment for the district.

Students Have A Blast, Earn Awards At Rowan Rocketry Competition
TOMS RIVER – Two busloads of students from Toms River Regional Schools competed at Rowan University’s School of Engineering American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics 4th Annual Rowan Blast Off Rocketry Competition Saturday, April 13. The day started with leftover rain soaking the ground, though not the spirits of rocketeers. Students from each TRRS secondary school launched rockets, and several even won awards in three of the four categories. High School North’s Mariners were awarded third place for keeping their rocket afloat with a parachute for 20.73 seconds, and third place for landing 33 feet, five inches from their target in the spot landing competitions. The Eggcellent Rocketeers from Intermediate South were awarded third place for keeping their egg-loaded rocket afloat for 19.44 seconds and landing without breaking the egg; a great showing for first-time competitors. “It was an amazing experience for students to integrate their classroom learning with a hands on learning experience that integrated all of the elements of STEAM learning, said Supervisor of Technology Tiffany Lucey. “Judges even commented that they wish they had an award for the artistry of the rockets. I was impressed by the commitment of the educators and the eloquence of the student engineering and design.”

Continued From Page 4 The jury was not able to reach a decision on the charge of tax evasion for years 2013, 2014, and 2015, the court spokesman said. He was acquitted of two charges of filing false tax returns for calendar years 2013 and 2014. The sentencing date will be July 23. The two counts of failing to collect, account for, and pay over payroll taxes each carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison, and a $250,000 fine, or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense. The count of loan application fraud carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. He had been accused of evading more than $1 million in taxes. Meanwhile, he had been spending a great deal on home remodeling and lavish decorations, reportedly such things as a mammoth tusk and a statue of George Washington. His attorney, Kevin Marino, had said that these purchases were due to a hoarding disorder, and even retained a psychological

Changing Your Wax Guards
Did you know? Wax guards help protect your hearing aids from damaging buildup of wax, skin particles, and other debris. Quite often, the hearing aid may sound “weak” or “dead” because of a clogged filter! Learn how to change them right at home — it’s a breeze! Know When to Change the Wax Guard. Putting this task on at least a monthly schedule offers an easy nudge for handling it in a timely manner. Plus, if your technology isn’t working properly — even with fresh batteries — it may be a sign that the wax guard needs changing. Use the Right One for Your Device. Wax guards come in diverse sizes and types, but not every version is right for your hearing aids. We can provide or help you choose the compatible wax guards for your specific hearing instruments. Remove the Old Wax Guard. Most wax-guard kits comprise a set of small sticks — each with a removal prong on one end or side and a small, white replacement wax guard on the other. Remove the current wax guard from your hearing aid shell by pushing the prong into the center hole of the guard
and then pulling it out. Clean the Hearing Aid Shell. With the old wax guard removed, clean the area using a toothbrush set aside for hearing aid maintenance. Brushing off the shell with a few strokes helps clear it of any remaining wax or other debris. Remember, when brushing the hearing aid, the receiver port should be facing downward. By this time, you should be hearing more sound from the hearing instrument (particularly if the wax guard was clogged). Install the New Wax Guard. Using the same tool, line up the end that contains the new guard with the hole on your hearing aid shell or earmold where the old one sat. Gently push the prong into the center hole — the new wax guard should set or snap in place — then pull the prong back out. You may need to briefly hold the new guard in place with your fingernail while you remove the tool.

Natural Remedies For Reflux And Esophagitis By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I finally got reflux and heartburn after all these years. I have newfound respect for those of you who deal with it! I traced my problem to drinking shots of yerba mate. I drank them several times a week for energy. I noticed the heartburn and belching about 20 minutes after drinking one tiny glass bottle of it. It happened three times last week and then I made the connection. I did a little research and apparently drinking too much mate, especially hot mate is tied to esophageal cancer. I’ve stopped drinking yerba mate (cold) shots as a result of my pain as well as these concerns. I didn’t take famotidine (H2 antagonists) or omeprazole (Prilosec, a popular PPI med). I started taking natural remedies and my strategy worked! Just one week later, I have experienced a complete turnaround. I’m 75% better. I have a longer version of this article that I can email to you if you sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com Here’s the short story of my strategy: 1. Discontinue the offender. - For me, the yerba mate was the problem. Sometimes it’s smoking, spicy foods, alcohol, or hot drinks. Whatever it is, discontinue your trigger. 2. Discontinue spices and hot foods. - I’ve temporarily given up spicy mayo, cayenne and black pepper and even vinegar to give my esophagus a rest. Also, I noticed if I drank hot coffee or tea, it would hurt. According to the article published in International Journal of Cancer, drinking hot tea dramatically increases your chance for developing esophageal cancer. So drink your
beverages lukewarm. 3. Drink Marshmallow root water. - I put about 1 tablespoon of dried marshmallow root (per cup of water) in a big glass jar with cold water. In a few hours, you have a water that is somewhat thicker, preserving the mucilaginous properties of the marshmallow, which coats and soothes delicate membranes as you drink it. 4. Mastic Gum - Mastic Gum is a resin that is extracted from a tree. This is sold as a dietary supplement and it’s used as a natural remedy for many intestinal problems including indigestion, acid reflux, inflammatory bowel disease, gastritis and ulcers.= 5. Zinc Carnosine - This is a dietary supplement that chemically ties together a zinc molecule to a carnosine molecule. The tissue healing effects come from both compounds which allow for tissue repair and a reduction in intestinal inflammation. Symptoms of esophagitis vary and include some of the following: Swallowing food and then experiencing mild pain in the chest or throat, the sensation that something is stuck in the throat or sternum, early satiety, belching, mouth sores, heartburn, reflux and mild nausea. Acid blockers do not soothe, coat or directly patch up the mucosal lining. They suppress acid which gives your esophagus a break. It’s indirect, but okay if that’s what you’re doctor recommended. If you’re not significantly better within a week of your home treatment (natural or over-the-counter), please go see a specialist to make sure there is no serious underlying cause for your problems.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Encourage New Experiences Dear Joel, I am concerned about my 23-year-old son. He has been dating his girlfriend for over two years. She breaks up with him repeatedly. It sometimes feels that it happens every other month. I have told him that this girl is not right for him. I have to constantly explain to family and friends why she is at some holiday dinners and not at others. If there is a family wedding, her absences are always noticed. I don’t want him hurt and am tired of how she treats him. He seems to always go back for more punishment. It makes me feel less of him and I don’t like feeling that way. Do you think it’s a good idea to speak with him? Answer: I think that speaking to him is fine. After all, you are a concerned parent. That being said, I want to caution you about your communication style. If your plan is to say that his girlfriend is not right for him, she’s trouble, no good, etc., in all likelihood, you will make the
story worse for everyone. He already knows that you disapprove of her. I can assure you of that. He already hears your voice in his head. What I would do is make suggestions of moving towards new experiences. Have him join a gym, do volunteer work, get a second job. In everything that I mentioned he will be meeting new faces, trying new things and most likely feel better about himself. His self esteem will clearly improve. His girlfriend may find new respect for him as well. Your son is 23 and must make his own choices. If they are the wrong choices, I don’t know of anyone who has always done the right thing. I wish you and your family well. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured.
The Standard Policy does provide medical Michael J. Deem expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “Limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Around The Jersey Shore Take Home A Furry Friend On National Adoption Day
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Have you been searching for that special “fur-ever” friend to join your family? You’re in luck! On April 30, the Ocean County Animal Facilities (OCAF) will celebrate National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day with a special adoption event. Adopt, don’t shop. Help OCAF to reduce the number of homeless dogs and cats by adopting a lovable furry friend. “Adopt a Shelter Pet Day is a great way to remind people that there are so many precious cats and dogs waiting for homes at our two county animal facilities,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “With the abundance and variety of cats and dogs to choose from there is never a reason for anyone to shop at a puppy mill.” The adoption event will take place during a week-long celebration of National Adoption Day. For the entire week of April 29, OCAF will offer reduced adoption fees on all adoptable pets. “People interested in owning a pet should always be reminded to adopt responsibly. An animal’s care is a lifelong commitment and should never be an impulse decision. Do your
homework and make sure you find the pet that fits your lifestyle,” said Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator. All of the dogs and cats up for adoption at this event are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and have age-appropriate vaccinations. Find the newest four-legged addition to your family at either the Northern Ocean County Animal Facility, located at 615 Freemont Avenue in Jackson, or the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility, located at 360 Haywood Road in Manahawkin. “If you’ve been thinking about adopting for the first time, or even adding another pet to your family, this adoption event is a great time and place to start your search. Also, anyone taking home a four-legged friend will receive a goodie bag filled with treats and toys for their new best friend,” stated Mary Alano, Manager at OCAF. “Shelter dogs and cats make great family pets and nothing is more rewarding than giving these wonderful animals a permanent loving home,” stated Trish McCallum, Manager at OCAF. For more information on the National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day event, call 732-341-9700, ext. 7735 or visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

Fire-Fighting Air Tanker Returns To Ocean County
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – An air tanker capable of dumping water on forest fires will be using the local airport as its base of operations for a month, county officials said. The tanker, which can haul 800 gallons of water, will be housed at the Ocean County Airport in Berkeley, otherwise known as the Robert J. Miller Airpark. It will be here from mid-April to about May 10, according to a press release. This is the peak wildfire season. “The New Jersey State Forest Fire Service resumed operations at the Ocean County Airport following the construction of the Crosswind Runway in 2014,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the airport. “With this location, the State Forest Fire Service can quickly respond to forest fires in the central area of the state.” A recent forest fire burned 11,000 acres at the border of Burlington and Ocean counties, Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines said. This vehicle will help if another breaks out. However, the county does prescribed burns to prevent forest fires from
starting. These burns destroy undergrowth that serves as fuel for fires. “Since March Ocean County Parks staff has worked with state Forest Fire Service in prescribed burning almost 1,200 acres,” Haines said. A recent project created a “fuel break” by way of thinning the forest on the south side of Wells Mills County Park to protect housing communities on West Bay Ave in Barnegat Township, she said. “We are also in the planning stages of a similar fuel break on the Structural Management Natural Lands properties to help in protecting residential communities in the Route 539 area of Manchester Township,” she said. “With more than 30,000 acres of open space preserved by the County, and all the additional open space we have here, it’s imperative we take a pro-active approach to reducing the natural fuels that could result in quickly spreading forest fires. During the 2018 forest fire season, the Air Tractor 802F “Fire Boss” tanker plane, responded to 10 fires and made 38 drops delivering 12,800 gallons of water.
American Idol Alum To Headline Rock The River
TOMS RIVER – Rock the River, presented by Little by Little Foundation and Bubby’s Beanery, will take place July 27 at Huddy Park rain or shine. American Idol winner and Kinky Boots star David Cook will headline the show. The concert will also feature Cowboy Mouth, Sophia Ramos, RedRight Return, Waiting on Mongo and 18th & Addison. Tickets are $35 per person and can be purchased at Bubby’s Beanery, 44 Washington
OCC Hosts Annual Holocaust Remembrance Week Events
St., or online at universe.com/rocktheriver. Children ages 7 and younger enter free. Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Little by Little Foundation, which distributes money to families facing financial hardships due to childhood brain cancer treatment. The foundation was formed by Mike Maguire, whose wife Kim died from glioblastoma in 2017. The foundation has distributed more than $125,000 in less than 2 years.
TOMS RIVER — The Ocean County College Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education will host a number of events this spring to mark Holocaust Remembrance Week. The theme is “The Second Generation: Children of the Victims & Perpetrators.” All events are free and open to the public. Anti-Semitism Then & Now: Tuesday, April 30, 11 a.m.-12:15 p.m., Tech Building Lecture Hall. Following an overview of more than 2,000 years of uninterrupted anti-Semitism, this lecture from Dr. Ali Botein-Furrevig will focus on the causes and myths of ancient and modern anti-Semitism as well as intolerance in our own time, with an emphasis on the US, and specifically NJ. You are the Future: Wednesday, May 1, 12:30-1:45 p.m., Gateway Lecture Hall. Renowned singer, actress, and raconteur Naomi Miller returns to OCC with her acclaimed musical/multimedia program in commemoration of the Holocaust. Miller, born in a displacement camp in Germany, has performed throughout the US and around the world. Her program, which prompts younger generations to never forget, evokes laughter, tears, and an understanding that there is hope. Interfaith Memorial Service: May 1, 7 -9 p.m., Congregation B’nai Israel, 1688 Old
Freehold Rd., Toms River. A collaborative program with Congregation B’nai Israel and the Toms River Interfaith Clergy will include a keynote speaker/survivor. The program will be followed by a reading of names that will be continued Thursday morning at B’nai Israel. Viewing of the Documentary ‘Inheritance’: Thursday, May 2, 10:30-11:45 a.m., Tech Building Lecture Hall. “Inheritance” is the moving story of Monika Hertig, soft-spoken daughter of Amon Goeth, Commandant of Plaszow Concentration Camp. After seeing “Schindler’s List,” she finds out that her father murdered thousands of Jews. Feeling an aching need to come to terms with her father’s legacy of hate, she reaches out to Holocaust survivor Helen Jones of NJ, who lived enslaved under Goeth’s roof for two years. What Our Fathers Did: Thursday, May 2, 2 -3:15 p.m., Tech Building Lecture Hall. OCC alum Ernest Arians, who is completing his graduate work in Public History at Rutgers University, will speak about the children of the perpetrators of the Nazi Holocaust. For more information, contact Dr. Ali Botein-Furrevig, OCC Associate Professor of English & Literature, and Director of the Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education, at 732.255.0400, ext. 2368 or abotein-furrevig@ocean.edu.

Around The Jersey Shore 8th Annual International Beer, Wine & Food Festival
RED BANK – The 8th Annual International Beer, Wine and Food Fest (International Festival) is set for Sunday, May 5, from 12 to 6 p.m. in Red Bank’s White Street parking lot. Sponsored by Heineken and The Asbury Park Press, the event promises a worldwide selection of food, beverages, music and fun for all ages. “The 2019 International Festival falls on Cinco De Mayo and promises to provide flavorful beverages and taste sensations from near and far,” said James Scavone, Executive Director of Red Bank RiverCenter and organizer of the event. “The fiesta atmosphere is complete with a non-stop lineup of acclaimed local and nationally known music on two stages. More than a dozen vendors, a petting zoo, children’s rides and games will round out the activities.” An impressive showcase of bands will be presented on the festival’s East and West stages including: The Weeklings (Beatles & English Classics); The Nerds (All American Rock & Pop); Decade (Neil Young Tribute, Canadian); Matt O’Ree Band (All-American Rock); Melissa Otero (Latin Pop); Verdict (Reggae, Calypso & Caribbean); Edelweiss Oompah Band (German, Polish & Slovenian); Mexican Street Band (Mexican); Atlantic Watch Pipes & Drums (Scottish Classics). The event’s full music schedule begins at noon and can be viewed here. A dozen of Red Bank’s notable eateries
will be serving up the town’s best eclectic and global fare: authentic Mexican tacos, sriracha fried clams strips, bang bang shrimp, gyros, chicken tikka masala, vegetable samosas, mac n’cheese balls, fried calamari, short rib grilled cheese, lobster rolls, and tempura pork belly sliders with spicy papaya slaw. International dessert favorites include cannolis, zeppoles, eclairs, Dutch funnel cakes, and American apple pie fries. “The International Festival gives attendees the ability to sample and experience Red Bank’s eclectic business community all in one place,” said Scavone. “Families, residents, and people new to the area can truly experience the best of what Red Bank has to offer all for a good cause.” Proceeds from the $5 entrance fee will be split between three Red Bank-based benefactors: the Cancer Center at Riverview Medical Center (provides exceptional treatment and healing services in a tranquil healing environment), LunchBreak (provides food, clothing, life skills and fellowship to those in need), and Red Bank RiverCenter (the non-profit organization that has managed Red Bank’s Special Improvement District since 1991). All this fun can be had for $5 per person; Children 10 and under are admitted free. Parking will be free throughout Red Bank on the day of the festival. For more information, visit RedBank.org.

BUSINESS PROFILE There is a uniting factor between us all that has been written about in c ount les s stor ies, poems and songs and probably most simply said by John Howard Payne in his work titled “Home Sweet Home.” Be it ever so humble, there’s no plac e like home. Home is not just a building to store possessions, home is where the heart is, home is a place for family, home is comfort, home is shared values and home is security. Home is also in most cases, the biggest investment and source of equity in a person’s life. Ensuring that one’s home is at its utmost optimum value is where Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling, loc ated at 248 6 Ridgeway Bou levard in Manchester, comes into prominence. Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling has a long standing reputation as high quality installers and distributors of aluminum products in the Toms River, Berkeley and Manchester area. Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling is owned and operated by the Jeffers family. The Jeffers family has been a proud staple of the community since 1967. Robert Jeffers opened Jeffers A luminum & Remod eling in a store front property on Route 37
Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling in Toms River. In 2003 a sister company was branched off of Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling and became known as Mid Jersey Building Supply, a leading wholesale building materials supply company. Both companies are operated by Bob, his wife Bonnie, and their son Robert at the Manchester location on Ridgeway Boulevard. In order to serve the n e e ds of t h e va lu e d customers in the most convenient, efficient and effective manner, as well as to accommodate the growth and expansion of the business, Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling has consolidated and merged with Mid Jersey Building Supply. Both businesses are now housed under one huge roof at the much bigger and brighter showroom at the Ridgeway Boulevard location. Though the location has been changed, what has not changed is the high qualit y, honest y and standards offered by Jef fer s A luminum & Remodeling as well as the exc ellenc e in assistance and service. A bove all else, what has not changed is the tremendous value that is added to your home when any improvement project is done. The Jef fers family pr ides themselves on the stel-
lar reputation they have est ablished over the past 42 years. Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling offers many different products and services. They offer everything from windows by Silverline and Northeast, Therma-Tru exterior doors and Reeb interior doors and trim and Larson storm doors. They also have a selection of custom Dumont and Princeton aluminum railings and Berkeley and Mt. Vernon vinyl railings. Homeowners can makeover the exterior of the homes with siding, stone fronts, columns and roofing. All are available at Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling. Their installation manager Joe Lewkowic z has been with the Jeffers for 20 years. He is always willing to take the time to discuss remodeling options with customers. For those who wish to increase the size of their home with an addition, or for those just looking to bring some of the outdoor space indoors, Jef fers A lu minum & Remodeling offers Scenic View and Comfort Plus enclosures that are sure to add elegance and value to any home. For others who prefer to enjoy the outdoors more fully, Jeffers Aluminum carries a line of custom crafted awnings and patio covers to shield the sun as well as the selection of screen rooms to let one enjoy the outdoors without those annoying and oft time disease carrying summer pests. Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling also offers c omplete and exper t custom kitchen and bathroom design, installation and cabinetry. Cabinets in brands such as Wolf, Fabuwood, CNC and JK, as well as granite, corian and laminated Formica counter tops. Great care is taken to ensure to get
the measuring right the first time. In some cases, a complete kitchen, including counter tops can be delivered in as little a three days. “We stand behind everything,” said Bob Jeffers. “We are here today and we are here tomorrow.” Offering personal guidance, assistance, solutions and support through any home improvement or remodeling project is something that is not offered and not available at the big box stores. That is what Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling is all about. They are there for you. Family owned and family operated. The reputation of the business and family dedication along with their longtime trusted employees, some of whom have been a part of Jeffers Aluminum for over 20 years, is a strong testament to the stability and reliability offered by the Jeffers family at Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling. For you next home remodeling, repair or renovation project, stop by the Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling showroom located at 2486 Ridgeway Boulevard in Manchester and say hello to the friendly faces of Bob, Bonnie, Bobby and Joe.
Even the mascot Jake the dog wears a smile. A true family welcome at a true family owned business of savings, value and expert ser-
vice. Jeffers Aluminum & Remodeling is opened Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and can be reached by calling 732-657-9000.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of APR 27 - may 3 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Use your charm this week. People might be so glad to see your smiling face they may overlook your foot in the door. Small rifts over finances will disappear quickly if you don’t overreact to unexpected changes. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the week ahead, you might have the urge to go on a mission to heal the ills of the world. Your high-minded objectives will seem exciting to some people but may just seem odd and eccentric to others. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you were a pencil you would be sharpened to a fine point and ready to go. In the upcoming week you will find it easy to deal with any kind of work that requires accuracy. A loved one may be lost in minutia. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cliches are often repeated because the truths they represent are well worth repeating. As this week unfolds you might find a cliche that bears remembering because it works wonders on your attitude. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Off with the old and onwards to embrace the new. A chance for a change of scene can make your week ahead exciting and rewarding. You may participate in a transition that involves a coworker or family member. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you want to waste time this week, waste it well. Pleasant surroundings will raise your spirits and soothe your soul. Spoil yourself with soft pillows and aromatherapy products or spend some time at the local spa.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It wasn’t only Elvis who could sing, “love me tender.” In the upcoming week key relationships may become closer, sweeter and more rewarding. A chance meeting could help you make better financial choices. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): New friends recharge your social battery. You may shine at the workplace and receive commendations. Your practical business sense may be at odds with your desire for luxurious possessions in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The biggest hearted people make the biggest gestures. You could bite off more than you can chew in the week ahead by saying “yes” just to be cooperative when saying “no” might be the better response. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Reach out and do your research. In the week to come you might be prompted to analyze someone’s motivations and conduct investigations. It is always better to have too much information, rather than not enough. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Where there’s a will there’s a way. Get pet projects off the ground in the early part of the week while your energy and enthusiasm for something new and different is at a peak. Keep a lid on unnecessary spending. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may enjoy an elevated level of optimism in the week ahead. Put your irons into the fire as early in the week as possible while your energy levels are high. Focus on making purchases that uplift your spirits.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Rustic Soup Brings Back Warm Family Memories
By Wolfgang Puck
I first learned to cook in a kitchen ruled by two strong, loving women: my mother and grandmother. They were both amazing cooks, and all these years later my mouth still waters when I think about the food they prepared. They weren’t fancy about our daily food. Though they both knew how to prepare the finest traditional Austrian dishes, they ran our home smartly and frugally. They grew most of their own vegetables, relying largely on fresh produce straight from our home garden along with smart pantry staples. Among their most reliable staples were dried beans. Of course, they grew most of the beans they used. I remember scarlet runner beans that they let dry on the vines in the summer sun before shelling and storing them. There were white beans like cannellini, too, since we lived so close to the Italian border. And I’m sure they bought more beans at local street markets. For such an inexpensive ingredient, dried beans provide generous flavor and texture, not to mention abundant healthy nutrients such as B vitamins, potassium, complex carbohydrates and fiber, along with good amounts of protein but little fat and no cholesterol. More than just a great accompaniment, they’re robust and flavorful enough to serve as a main dish in their own right. Take, for example, my recipe for white bean soup with root vegetables. With generous quantities of root vegetables, a little bacon for extra flavor (though vegetarians and vegans could leave that out), and optional garnishes of sliced cooked sausage and freshly grated Parmesan (also easy to omit for those who don’t eat meat or dairy), it’s definitely a soup that adds up to a meal in itself. With very little effort on your part, my recipe - which you can make with any variety of dried white beans - yields a generous quantity: 3 quarts (3 liters), the equivalent of a dozen 1-cup (250-mL) servings. So, unless you’re feeding a crowd, you can refrigerate or freeze leftovers to reheat for later. Add some warm, crusty bread, a salad of flavorful leaves like kale, arugula or endive, or just a simple slaw of shredded cabbage and carrots, and you have a perfectly satisfying dinner. It’s the sort of meal that will make you feel as if you’re dining by the fireplace. Once you’ve made the soup a few times, feel free to start experimenting. Use different kinds of beans, vegetables and seasonings. Add a smoked ham hock or turkey leg, if you like. In other words, make the recipe your own, reflecting whatever you have available that’s in season. In other words, cook like my mother and grandmother did. WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH ROOT VEGETABLES Makes 3 quarts (3 L) 2 cups (500 mL) dried white beans 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 1/2 quarts (2.5 L) store-bought good-quality
low-sodium chicken stock or broth, or vegetable stock or broth 2 ounces (60 g) smoked bacon, about 3 slices, cut crosswise into strips 2 medium yellow onions, peeled, trimmed, and diced 2 large carrots, trimmed, peeled, and diced 2 small celery stalks, trimmed and diced 1 small bulb celeriac, peeled and diced 6 large garlic cloves, peeled and chopped 1/4 cup (60 mL) tomato paste 1 large tomato, about 8 ounces (250 g), peeled, seeded, and chopped 2 or 3 large fresh basil leaves 2 or 3 sprigs fresh Italian parsley 1 sprig fresh thyme 1 sprig fresh rosemary 1/3 cup (85 mL) sherry wine vinegar 2 teaspoons sugar Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper Sliced cooked sausage, for garnish, optional Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish, optional Start prepping the beans the night before. Little by little, spread them out on a clean work surface and sort out any grit or other debris or malformed beans. Put the beans in a strainer, and rinse thoroughly with cold running water. Then, transfer them to a bowl, add cold water to cover them by at least 2 inches (5 cm), and leave at room temperature to soak overnight. Start cooking the soup at least 3 hours before serving time, first draining the beans thoroughly. Heat a large stockpot over medium heat, and add the olive oil. Add the bacon strips and cook, stirring frequently, until they have browned lightly, several minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove and discard the bacon. In another pot, bring the stock or broth to a boil over medium-high heat; then, reduce the heat and keep warm. While the stock is heating, add the onions, carrots, celery and celeriac to the pot containing the oil and bacon fat, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, chopped tomato and drained beans. With kitchen string, securely tie together the basil, parsley, thyme and rosemary. Add the bundle to the pot along with the vinegar and sugar. Pour in the hot stock or broth, and stir well. Season lightly with salt and white pepper. Raise the heat, and bring the liquid to a full boil. Then reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, and adding more stock or fresh water as needed to keep the beans fully covered. When the beans are tender, remove and discard the herb bundle. Ladle out 2 cups (500 mL) of the beans and vegetables and puree them in a blender or food processor, carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions for processing hot liquids safely without spattering. Stir the puree back into the pot. Taste and adjust the seasonings with more salt and pepper. To serve ladle the soup into heated bowls. If you like, garnish with sausage and Parmesan cheese.
