By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – It was a close race in Barnegat Township this year, but ultimately the incumbent won out. Albert Bille (R) took home the majority with 2,889 votes, winning another three-year term on the Township Committee. Democratic candidate Peg Houle ran a strong race but received only 43 percent, 2,229 votes. On Nov. 6 after the election, Houle took to her
campaign Facebook page, stating: “The election did not go the way we wanted. Many thanks go to all of you for your endless support.” Bille’s reelection will make 2020 his tenth year on the governing body. However, on the Barnegat Township Board of Education, the newcomers took home the victory. Richard Quelch, Robert Sawicki, and Sean O’Brien – campaigning to be the “new voice” of Barnegat’s Board of Education – ousted two
incumbents in this election including board president Scott Sarno. Quelch won 1,619 votes; Sawicki won 1,644; and O’Brien won 1,919. It was a big win for the trio, who ran against five other candidates for three, three-year terms on the board. On Nov. 6, O’Brien posted the following statement to his social media page: “Yesterday was one of the more surreal experiences I have ever (School - See Page 5)

–Photos by Kimberly Bosco The Cox house in Barnegat is a historic location that officials want to repair. By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – With the passage of a referendum, the county will now be able to use open space funds to acquire and maintain property for more than
just open space. The question on the ballot asked people if they wanted open space tax funds to be used for the acquisition and maintenance of property for historic or recreation-
al purposes. There were 55,851 people who agreed with this, and 44,883 who disagreed. For the most part, there will be no change, said Freeholder Director (Open Space - See Page 5)
By Kimberly Bosco STAFFORD – The grass is always greener in Stafford Township, and soon enough the transportation will be too. Stafford Township was recently approved for a grant through the NJ Department of Environmental Protection’s “It Pay$ to Plug In” program. “It Pay$ to Plug In” provides funding amounts of up to $6,000 per charger to offset the cost to purchase and install electric vehicle charging stations, according to NJDEP. This program allows for dwellings, businesses, and public spaces to “go green” by providing the space and chargers for electric vehicles, which dramatically reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality. Although Stafford is still awaiting a grant agreement from the NJDEP to determine funding, Mayor Gregory Myhre believes the program to be in the best interest of Stafford residents. “It Pay$ to Plug In” is available to businesses, governments, multi-unit dwellings, nonprofit organizations and educational institutions in New Jersey. With this, Stafford Township is taking one more step towards a cleaner, greener future for New Jersey. Governor (Green - See Page 4)

Murphy’s Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is aiming for 100 percent clean energy by 2050. “Shifting to clean and renewable energy sources reduces greenhouse gas emissions that are already causing climate impacts in New Jersey, particularly in economically disadvantaged communities,” according to the NJDEP. The RGGI is the fi rst mandatory mar-
ket-based program in the United States to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to the initiative’s website. For more information on RGGI, visit rggi. org/. And “It Pay$ to Plug In” isn’t the only program focusing its energy on expanding electric vehicles throughout New Jersey. Senate bill S2252 and Assembly Bill A4819 could expand and incentivize the use electric vehicle charging stations throughout the state. These bills have not yet been passed.

Virginia Haines, who serves as liaison to the county’s Natural Lands program. “First and foremost, we are still going to preserve open space. That is still going to be our main priority,” she said. Historical or recreational projects would be secondary. The main example she used is the Cox house, near the intersection of Route 9 and West Bay Avenue in Barnegat. This building has some history to it. The family was extremely influential in the area, having been involved in numerous industries, including shipbuilding, installing a water
School:

I am really touched by your support and deeply appreciate it. To all the voters, thank you for your trust. I will do the right thing for all of the children and residents of Barnegat.” Quelch stated: “I am both humbled and honored that you all have placed your confidence and support in me to serve on the Board of Education. Your participation in this election clearly showed you all wanted “A New Voice” for Barnegat…I am energized and enthusiastic to begin this position and work for all of you.”
The Southern Ocean Times, November 16, 2019, Page 5 system, and starting the Times-Beacon newspapers. The Cox house was the fi rst house in Barnegat to have electricity and running water. As with many old buildings, the cost to maintain and repair it is great. Not only due to the elements and the passage of time, but also because earlier this summer, it was struck by a car. Barnegat Township owned the property for some time, before giving it to the county within the last few years. The county wants this property to be the anchor for the Barnegat Branch Trail, a biking and walking trail that will wind through several towns. In order to fi x this property up, for example, the county would fi rst rather receive
grants, she said. If the county is not successful in receiving grants, they’d rather use these open space funds before money is taken from other accounts. The Natural Lands Trust program is dedicated to protecting open space in Ocean County. The fund was approved by Ocean County voters in 1997, and established a 1.2-cent tax to fund land acquisitions. The program generates about $8 million per year. Currently, a little more than half of the county is preserved through some combination of this program, and state and federal programs, officials have said. The way it works is a property owner would offer the land up for sale to the
county as open space. The county has an appraiser determine its value and a sale is made. The county also waits for approval from a town. This is because any sale takes that property off the tax rolls of the town. The taxation will remain the same – 1.2 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. In other words, if your property is assessed at $100,000, you would be paying $12 a year. County officials have previously said that some municipalities that have their own open space programs already operate this way. Theoretically, this could mean that the county could buy historic buildings. However, Haines said that they are not going out of their way to look for purchases.
In Lacey Township, both incumbents took home the win, bringing in nearly double the votes of their competitors. Republicans Steven Kennis and Peter Curatolo won 3,958 and 3,836 votes, respectively, securing three-year terms on the Township Committee. Democratic candidates Edward “Ted” Kownacki and Erik Mazur received 1,944 and 1,898 votes, respectively. On the Lacey Township Board of Education, long-time board member Linda Downing secured another three-year term, alongside Donna McAvoy and Edward Scanlon. It was a close race for all eight candidates, but ultimately Downing came out on top with 2,145 votes and McAvoy and Scanlon followed behind with 1,982 and 1,973 votes,
respectively. The other candidates’ votes were tallied at: • Sonia Marchitello: 1,756 • Shawn Giordano (incumbent): 1,908 • Gavin Rozzi: 1,769 • Salvatore Armato: 1,783 • Ashley Larsen: 1,131 Downing and McAvoy are a part of the same campaign team, fighting for “Integ-
rity, Experience, Commitment” within the school district. Scanlon ran independently, “representing the best interests of the students and staff of the Lacey Township School District while remaining fiscally responsible to the taxpayers.” “Thank you to everyone who supported us, we appreciate it!” the victors wrote to their campaign Facebook page.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY e dITorIAL How Much Of Your “News” Is Actually News Something I’ve noticed more and more on television news programs is that there’s very little actual news. It’s mostly commentary. It seems like they spend five minutes telling you what happened and then spend 50 minutes telling you how you should feel about what happened. Firstly, news anchors should never tell you how to feel. They can offer perspective, or clarify, or explain the impact of information, but they should never offer opinions. How much of your so-called news is actually opinion? Secondly, instead of informed experts giving commentary, we instead see professional commentators. These are leeches who have made their entire career on having Something To Say. They have
opinions, and say their opinions in a clever way, so people keep paying them to be on shows. They don’t inform, clarify, or explain. Instead they confuse, argue, and lie. Next time you are watching your favorite news program, pay close attention. How much time is spent actually giving the news? Just the news. Time it if you can. Start the timer when the news anchor begins telling you something new. Stop the timer when the anchor tells you an opinion. Stop the timer when a commentator just spouts off with opinion instead of fact. Stop the timer when a commentator goes off topic to confuse you. Stop the timer and just change the channel. Chris Lundy News Editor

Letters To The Editor Bill Would Limit Drug Costs For Medicaid We have all seen this television commercial: Joe or Jane Senior Citizen is suffering from the pain and embarrassment of some illness you have never heard of; they visit a wise and kindly doctor who prescribes a medicine whose name you will never be able to pronounce. Joe and Jane, of course, live happily ever after. No mention is made of the price of the new wonder drug for the simple reason that it is likely to cost you several months worth of social security payments. The folks who bring you this type of promotion are the same people who sponsor the new ad attacks on H.R.3, the bill currently pending in Congress which would require Medicare officials to actively negotiate lower prices with the drug companies. Medicaid and the Veterans Administration already do this. The bill would also limit out-of-pocket drug costs for Medicare patients to $2,000 per year. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that passage of such legislation would save Medicare $345 Billion in the first ten years. The Healthcare Institute of New Jersey, despite its altruistic name, is no friend of senior citizens. It claims that reducing their price tags would drastically shrink the pool of funds available for research into the treatment and cure of a variety of diseases. However, it is a well-known fact that the drug industry spends far more on advertising and marketing than it does on product development. No, Joe or Jane, neither BigPharma nor the Healthcare Institute of New Jersey is a friend of yours. Your real friend is the Democratic House of Representatives. Michael J. Doherty Berkeley
Patriot Trump Can Make A Deal Businessman Donald Trump was famous for putting com-
Letters EditorIt will only get worse. Trump plicated deals together. To There The Congressman was one story where Trump needed to successfully buy (quietly) four different New York buildings, and then get many “variances” that were difficult to get from the zoning board in order to tear these buildings down and build one brand new office or apartment building. Businessman Trump did those complicated deals where all the different parts of the deal had to work, or the new plan was not possible. He really, really loved those complicated deals. So, now we read that President Trump has successfully ordered and completed without any harm to our military people the capture of the leader of ISIS. The details he shared on television included the need for our 8 helicopters to fly over air space controlled by Turkey, Russia, the Kurds, Iraq, and Syria. They then needed to accomplish the goal and fly back over the same airspace. I can picture Trump’s generals telling him how impossible, and dangerous it was to fly over all that airspace where all those different players could shoot us down. I can also imagine our businessman/developer President who has worked hard to establish dialogue with foreign leaders saying “Don’t worry. We will just call up the leaders of Turkey, Russia, etc. (who he speaks with) and ask them if it is OK if we fly in and out because it is a good cause.” To think like that is second nature to a guy who knows how to put a few “variances” together to build one brand new building where five existed before. Yes, we really have a businessman and a patriot now as President, and it shows. Obviously, we have needed a dealmaker in the White House for decades. Can you imagine if this mission went sour and we had losses how the Trump-haters would started complaining? President Trump may have risked everything if this mission failed. That’s a patriot. David F. Lipton Beachwood
Smith Has No Spine When Republicans tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act and strip healthcare from 23 million Americans, Chris Smith did not advocate for his constituents or wield his seniority to influence his colleagues. He released a statement and did nothing. When Republicans passed a tax law that enriched the wealthy and punished NJ by limiting SALT deductions, Chris Smith released a statement and did nothing. Now we have ample evidence that President Trump broke the law by soliciting foreign help in an upcoming election and abused his office by withholding military aid to a vulnerable ally unless they investigate his opponents. Trump’s rhetoric - capital punishment for whistle-blower “spies,” accusing Democrats of treason, and threatening civil war - is dangerous. Successful or wouldbe perpetrators have already mimicked his language to commit or attempt violence in El Paso, Florida, and D.C.
may try to convince millions of followers not to accept a loss in 2020. After all, he has been espousing “3-5 million illegal votes” in California since 2016 even though his own commission found no evidence. Trump is a threat to fair elections and the peaceful transfer of power, essential cornerstones of our democracy. What has Chris Smith done about this? He cast an easy vote to release the whistle-blower complaint, issued a statement, and done nothing. Again. Smith campaigns as “a leader you can trust.” A leader would have the courage to stand up to his own party, use his seniority, and forcefully tell his fellow Republicans that Trump must be impeached because his behavior is dangerous and unacceptable. Instead, we’ll get the same meek effort we always get from Smith when the stakes are high: a tepid statement for political cover followed by silence until he sees which way the wind is blowing.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS!
#2 Busiest Breast Surgery Practice In America (According To The National CMS Rankings.)
Breast Implants and Lymphoma Women choose to get breast implants, either for breast reconstruction but more overwhelmingly for cosmetic reasons. Recently there has been a good deal of news coverage about a connection between breast implants and cancer. This relates to a report that the FDA has released regarding women with breast implants developing a specific type of cancer called Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. It should be noted that this is not a type of breast cancer, but a type of lymphoma, which is a cancer of the immune system. In most cases, the lymphoma is found in the implant scar tissue or in the fluid around the implant. The FDA first identified an association between breast implants and Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma in 2011, but at the time there were so few cases that it was difficult to determine exactly what the risk factors were. The FDA now has more than 400 reports of women who develop this Lymphoma after having a breast implant surgery. While research is certainly ongoing, data suggests that this type of lymphoma occurs more frequently with breast implants that have textured surfaces rather than smooth surfaces. Although this is a concern for women with breast implants, it should be noted that the risk of developing this type of lymphoma from a textured implant varies from 1 in 4,000 to 1 in 30,000. Therefore, it is quite rare. But never the less, women with breast implants need to be aware of the possibility.

For some folks, inserting your hearing aid into your ear can be a real struggle. Sometimes you twist and turn the hearing aid which eventually creates a sore ear. Here are a few tricks you can utilize to properly insert your hearing instrument into your ear canal. First, for custom, non-behind-the-ear products, the “red” writing on the aid is for the right ear and the “blue” writing is for the left ear. Second, when you are inserting the aid, the “vent hole” is usually on the bottom of the aid facing outside.

Third, as you are trying to insert the instrument, make sure your elbow is “up” in line with your ear and push toward your nose. If your elbow is down, you may not insert the aid in the right direction. Thus, the aid may “stick” out of your ear and constantly ring. Remember, if you are struggling with hearing aid insertion, keep your elbow up while inserting the aid. This will make life a lot simpler and alleviate potential ear soreness and feedback. Finally, make sure you keep in close contact with your hearing healthcare professional who is there for guidance.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

The Disgusting Tricks in Your Treats! By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
As Halloween has passed us by, a lot of parents plan special outings and trickor-treating events for the kids. I used to do that too, even decorating the house a little bit but today, I’m not really fond of skeletons and morbid spiders and whatnot. Speaking of whatnot, you already know how much I despise the pushing of unnecessary, toxic chemicals on us, right? But there’s something even more revolting. It’s the government handbook called, “The Food Defect Action Levels.” This guidebook spells out exactly how much mold, rat hair, maggots, parasites and bug parts can go into our food. It’s shocking how generous these limits are! If you just want to eat your food and keep your head in the sand, here’s your cue to stop reading me and turn to the comic section. If you have a morbid curiosity of what the FDA shamelessly allows us to eat then read on. One peanut butter sandwich (approx. 100 grams of peanut butter) could have 30 or more pieces of insect parts on it. (Now I know that is gross, and I also know that no amount of jelly will allow you to unsee that visual so I’m sorry I’ve messed with your brain! FYI, the jelly drama is about to get worse.) Carmine. Carmine is a lovely word to use, it flows off the tongue so beautifully, but it comes from boiling up some beetles. It’s a beautiful red dye, that adds color to some popular brands of red/purple jelly and frosting. I warned you it was going to get worse! Carmine is found in millions of different foods, candies and especially
lipsticks. You may see it as 75470 or E129, or the most deceptive of all, “natural red 4.” These are all code for carmine. Starbucks was pressured to get rid of the buggy colorant from their beautiful Strawberry Frappaccino. Cockroaches. The FDA approves of cockroach and other bug parts in chocolate bars and liquours. The FDA lets them put on average 60 insect pieces into every 100 grams of chocolate! This is considered safe for consumption by the FDA. Egad! Remember these bugs carry pathogens such as salmonella, E Coli and Listeria. Gelatin. Gelatin is a tasteless compound (actually a protein) that is used to thicken candy, and also lots of foods and drinks. It comes specifically from prolonged boiling of animal parts like skin, bones, connective tissue and cartilage. It is usually pork derived, but can also come from pigs, chicken, cows and fish. Shellac. Shellac is a resin that is excreted by the female lac bug. The bug poop is processed and dissolved in alcohol which then makes it a liquid shellac, which can then be used as a food glaze or dye. You’ll find it on gobs of candy including candy corn, Raisinets, Tootsie Rolls, Junior Mints, Sugar Babies and jelly beans. It’s used widely in the dietary supplement and pharmaceutical industry. These additives are not considered “unsafe,” however they are gross, unnecessary additives that should not be so rampant in our food supply. The FDA should reduce the acceptable allowances and closely regulate food makers so we don’t have to eat so many nauseating things!

725 South Main Street (Rt 9) | Forked River, NJ 08731 | 609.242.8191
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Downtown Toms River was once again filled with costumed creatures, marching bands and floats on Halloween Night. Toms River’s 81st Halloween Parade maintained its record as the second largest Halloween parade in the world and drew several thousand people to observe and take part in the spooky event.
The popular parade is coordinated by the members of Toms River Fire Company No. 1. The fire company was founded in 1896 and the parade has rarely been canceled, one such exception was in 2012 due to the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. The blustery weather may have given an air of autumn to the event but it was thankfully devoid of rain. (Parade - See Page 23)

Parade:
Continued From Page 18 Various organizations and individuals marched or rode down the parade route which had judges award first and second places in a variety of categories. This year’s parade Grand Marshall was Joseph Placente, who first took part in 1937. “I was seven years old and I dressed up as Donald Duck,” Placente said. He joined Toms River Fire Company No. 2 in 1958 and has become a life member. He was honored in 1968 by New Jersey as “Fireman of the Year” for his heroic action in saving the life of William Kennedy. Placente is well known around the township for his strong expression of patriotism, often draped in red, white and blue and carrying an American flag during Memorial Day and Veterans Day observances. Some refer to him as “Mr. Patriot.” “I have had one of the lives a person could possibly hope for,” Placente said. “If I had to do it over again there would be no changes. I have had a great run. Thank you, all my friends and God Bless America!” As always parade spectators prepared their seating hours before the parade began and many were in costume to watch the event. Dshawn Burgos, of Toms River, Elisabeth Hull of Beachwood and Megan Brennan were costumed as, respectively, a gangster, Wednesday from the Addams Family and Little Red Riding Hood as they prepared for a busy night working at Dunkin Donuts inside the Toms River Library. Nick Bernstein and Amanda Row of Toms River were seated around 4:15 p.m. for the parade right next to the parade stand for a front street view. “He was supposed to be dressed as the Joker,” Row said, disappointed. She was dressed as the comic book villain’s girlfriend Harley Quinn. “This is our second year to come out for this,” Bernstein said. Down the street were James Pearce and Alexandria Davila of Barnegat who were enjoying a few slices of pizza from Capone’s prior to the start of the parade. They sat on a public bench. “It’s our first time to see the parade together,” said Davila, who was sporting devil horns. Casey Sugrue, 16, of Toms River captured the attention of her fellow spectators as she sat waiting for the parade to begin. Costumed in face paint which extended to her arms with a skull-like grimace and rhinestones on her face
The Southern Ocean Times, November 16, 2019, Page 23 she appeared quite ready for a night of fright. “It took three hours to apply the makeup and the rhinestones. I saw the makeup online and wanted to do something with the rhinestones. I combined it with a mermaid look. I laid out where the rhinestones would be applied in a drawing. “I lost one of my costume contact lenses unfortunately,” she said. The contact lens made her left eye an eerie milky white in sharp contrast to her right eye’s hazel color. Her father William Sugrue could not have been prouder of her artistic ability. “We come out to this every year. My other daughter is in the Toms River High School North Marching band and we will be watching for her. We sat at this same spot last year.” Some families just went bananas over the parade but none more than Shannon and Tim Ward of Toms River who dressed as yellow fruit while their 11-month old daughter, Silver, wore a monkey costume. Both parents had previously marched in the parade as members of high school bands but “this is our first time to spend Halloween as a family and we hope this will become a family tradition,” Shannon Ward said. Perhaps the most unique costumed offering was Mila Triolo, 4, of Beachwood who was dressed as Ocean County’s very own celebrity, Sondra Fortunato, who is well known for her decorated vehicle filled with signs and newspaper clippings noting her various titles and her ballroom gown and tiara. Mila’s mom Jenna Pasquariello said, “We’ve done this parade since she was born and we thought it would be cool to decorate the small car we bought her for her birthday and make it into a miniature Sondra car. Sondra is famous and we hope to meet her at some point during the parade.” While it is unknown if that meeting took place, Fortunato was made aware of her pintsized replica and was extremely flattered. “They say the best form of flattery is imitation,” Fortunato said moments before setting out along the parade route to once again ride down Main Street. This parade marked Thomas Kelaher’s last in his role as township mayor. He recalled coming to it for the first time in 1963. “My wife Carol was the first person to ride in an illuminated float in the 1930s.” The float had been created by her family who owned JW Finley Heating and Cooling Service since the 1920s. “This is a great parade,” Kelaher said.

Around The Jersey shore State Files Complaint Against District For Mishandling Anti-Semitic Incident
By Kimberly Bosco TRENTON – A complaint has been filed with the Monmouth County Vocational School District following an anti-Semitic incident which caused a Jewish student to transfer out of the district, announced Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal. Grewal and the Division on Civil Rights (DCR) have issued a Finding of Probable Cause (FPC) against the Monmouth County Vocational School District over the issue, claiming that the district failed to properly address the harassment. In June 2018, a parent filed a complaint with the DCR claiming that her daughter, a minor at the time, was subjected to unlawful discrimination based on religion at the district-run Marine Academy of Science and Technology (MAST) high school. According to the parent’s complaint, her daughter’s classmates targeted their anti-Semitic sentiments at her over the course of three years. She later transferred out of the school for her senior year. In an April 2018 incident, two male students wrote “I H8 JEWS” in large letters in the sand at a school-sponsored event and then shared a photo of one of them lying on the ground next to the message. The complainant said her daughter was extremely upset by the image when she received it over text, as well as by student comments that followed. One student even suggested the picture be used as the cover for the yearbook. The girl’s father then brought the matter of the photo and comments to the school district, which led to her being called a “snitch” by her fellow students, shunned during the school day and outside of school. According to DCR’s investigation, the MAST high school disciplined the student involved, doling out four-day, out-of-school suspensions on the two students responsible as well as a two-day suspension on the student who commented that the photo should be used as the yearbook cover. But according to the complaint, that was all they did. The FPC states that “it does
not appear the school took any broader actions to discern the extent of anti-Semitic behavior at the school, or to address the reported concerns.” “Our schools are there to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which our young people can learn and grow,” said Attorney General Grewal. “Hate and harassment have no place in our schools, and it’s ultimately the responsibility of school officials to ensure that their schools offer a learning environment that is not hostile to individuals with any particular religious background or other protected characteristics.” The FPC notes that this incident may have been part of a “broader pattern of anti-Semitic conduct at MAST that called for broader institutional actions on the part of the school.” Thus, the complaint alleges that the school may “have not acted reasonably” under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD). The mother’s complaint speaks to this, naming a few other incidents of harassment, alleging: • Suring her daughter’s sophomore year, her fellow students drew swastikas on cafeteria lunch tables and on their notebooks • Students publically read Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” during “read” periods in class, even though the book was not an assigned part of the curriculum • A rock with the word “Adolf” written on it was placed on top of a water cooler directly behind the girl’s assigned seat in English class. In an interview with DCR, the teacher explained that once she was made aware that the rock said “Adolf,” she disposed of it on a pile of rocks behind her classroom, but did not report the incident. A Finding of Probable Cause does not resolve a civil rights complaint. Rather, it means the State has concluded its preliminary investigation and determined there is sufficient evidence to support a reasonable suspicion New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (LAD) has been violated.

Around The Jersey shore Republicans Maintain Most Positions In Election
By Chris Lundy and Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – There were only a few interesting surprises from the election on Nov. 5. It’s no secret that Ocean County is generally a Republican stronghold, except in the northern section. In fact, some races were only between Republicans and independents, with no Democrats filing to run at all. What follows are the results of most local contested elections. These results still need to be confirmed by the county before they are official.
County Election Incumbents defended their monopoly on the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. John “Jack” Kelly won 72,867 votes and Virginia “Ginny” Haines won 72,573 votes. They were challenged unsuccessfully by Democrats Jean Czarkowski, 38,809 votes, and David Wright, 36,200 votes; as well as Libertarian Daniel Valentine, 2,109 votes. There were 115 write-ins. In the Sheriff’s race, incumbent Republican Michael Mastronardy bested Democrat Gene Davis, 79,294 votes to 34,128. There were 84 write-in votes. Beachwood In Beachwood, Republican Ronald Roma won another four years over challenger, independent Glen Kelly. Roma won with 1,483 votes and Kelly received 499 votes. There were 10 write-in votes. Republicans maintained their spots on the council as well. Gerald LaCrosse won 1,478 votes and Edward Zakar won 1,422 votes. The independents, Sheila Burke-Jaccoud and Todd Dexter, won 469 and 471 votes respectively. There were 11 write-in votes. Berkeley Incumbent Republican Carmen Amato won 9,681 votes and another four years as mayor. He was challenged by Democrat Laura Shaw, who received 2,505 votes. There were five write-ins. Three, three-year spots on the council were also on the ballot. Republicans John Bacchione, 8,815 votes, Thomas Grosse, 8,722 votes, and Keith Buscio, 8,599 votes, were re-elected to their positions. They bested Democrats Heather Walsh, 2,927 votes, Mario Ciasulli, 2,844 votes, and Joshua Eckersley, 2,815 votes. There were 6 write-ins. Berkeley and Central Schools The Berkeley Township School District
oversees the elementary district. Voters chose Michele Shedlock, 5,275 votes, Edward Cammarato, 5,186 votes, and Stephen Pellecchia, 3,727 votes. These three are incumbents. Narrowly missing a spot was Alicia Green with 3,545 votes. There were 26 write-ins. The Central Regional School District oversees the middle and high school, and is made up of residents of Berkeley, Ocean Gate, Seaside Heights, Seaside Park, and Island Heights. In Central Regional, the three incumbents won: Lou Tuminaro got 4,958 votes; Denise Pavone-Wilson got 5,469 votes; and Ralph Frulio got 5,084 votes. They had been challenged by Jennifer Lewis, who received 2,574 votes. There were 50 write-ins. Ocean Gate Voters were asked to vote for two people for three-year terms on the Borough Council. They chose Joella Nicastro, 269 votes, and Robert Livingston, 282 votes. Independent Rich Russell received 153 votes. There were 12 write-ins. South Toms River In South Toms River, two Republicans were voted in. Incumbent Republican Tanya Mosley won 359 votes, and her running mate Thomas Rolzhausen won 339 votes. Incumbent Democrat Richard Applegate received 197 votes and his running mate Joseph Principato Jr. received 194 votes. There was 1 write-in. Toms River Schools The Toms River Regional School District has members from each of its sending districts, including Beachwood, Pine Beach, and South Toms River. In Toms River, there were an incredible six candidates for one, three-year position. Kathleen Eagan was the top vote-getter in this crowded field, with 5,728 votes. Lisa Natale-Contessa received 4,905 votes; Jeffrey Dingsor received 2,055 votes; Sean Monahan received 1,892 votes; Brian Quinn received 862 votes; and Wendell Ferandos received 464 votes. In Beachwood, Alex Mizenko narrowly bested Melissa Morrison 734 votes to 721. There were 8 write-in votes. Pine Beach also had a close race, where Kevin Kidney received 269 votes to Anthony Trump’s 267. There were three write-in votes. Those three write-ins could impact the results.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of NOV 16 - NOV 22 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): It is possible that a partner or loved one will not agree with your business or financial decisions in the early part of the week. Back up your plans with concrete evidence based on past performance and traditions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The more you learn, the more you earn. Apply your spare time to studying a subject that is germane to your career. Make use of your research skills in the week ahead, even if friends interrupt your investigations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The friends you make on the job or in the workplace could influence your thinking. In the week to come, you might be inspired to try something new. Group dynamics could play a large part in your daily routines. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your partner might be preoccupied with a pet project or perhaps will become passionate about achieving a longheld ambition. You can support them, celebrate every small triumph, and offer consolation if plans go astray in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may become more conscious of your public or social standing and pay more attention to appearances in the upcoming week. Put some effort into beautifying your corner of the world. Neighbors will notice your efforts. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You could develop as this week unfolds. Your partner or a close friend distract you a bit with unrealizable goals. Focus on the job at hand and something worthwhile will be accomplished.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You and a partner might not always be on the same wavelength in the upcoming week, but you can still be helpful teammates. Try to focus on the facts and avoid muddled thinking. You can’t outfox the fox. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep a smile on your face in the beginning of the week and you may win over new friends or receive an invitation to join a club or group. You may need to study hard to understand weighty concepts and terminology. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Focus on staying within budgetary boundaries by looking for sales and buying only what you need. Your occupational ambitions could come to fruition this week if you are a team player and willing to participate in group roundtables. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The more organized and self-disciplined you are in the week ahead, the more likely you’ll realize your ambitions. Intense focus on the task at hand and attentiveness to the rules may be required to make your dreams come true. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It isn’t necessary to reinvent the wheel. Your novel ideas may already be outlined in textbooks or reviewed online. Do some homework. You can rely on the lessons of the past as guideposts to get you through the week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might seesaw between being sensible and being a spendthrift in the week ahead. You might make impulsive purchases that seem frivolous at the time but could come in handy just when they are needed.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Fish Fillets Make It Quick And Easy To Move Your Grilling Indoors By Wolfgang Puck
Many people refer to the Labor Day weekend, now more than two months past, as the unofficial end of summer grilling season. But those of us who love to grill know that you can’t stop just because you’ve turned the calendar page. There are diehards, of course, who brave the elements to continue grilling outdoors. I’ve even known of people who protect their food and themselves with an umbrella in the pouring rain to keep practicing their favorite cooking method, regardless of the fact that they’ll trudge back indoors soaking wet and saturated with smoke-but feeling happy that their food still turned out perfect. I prefer an easier approach. When I want to grill food indoors at home, I like to use of a ridged grill, whether a countertop one that’s electrically heated or a simpler model that you heat up right over a burner on your stove. When preheated before food is placed on it, the pan produces flavorful seared markings very similar to those you get from an outdoor grill. You may not get the exact same tastes, of course, because you’ll lack the scent that comes from fat and juices dripping onto hot coals or gas-heated lava rocks beneath an outdoor grill’s cooking grid. But, especially if you start with a recipe full of lively seasonings, you won’t notice a big difference between the results of outdoor and indoor grilling. That said, there are other important points to bear in mind. First, I make sure to use a ridged grill with a nonstick surface, so you won’t have to grease or spray it before putting food on. More importantly, I prefer to prepare items that cook quickly, because the high-heat method will still fill the kitchen with very fragrant scents and some smoke - so you don’t want the cooking to go one for too long. (Be sure to turn on your kitchen fan and crack open a window as well, so you won’t set off any smoke alarms!) For an example of a recipe that fulfills these requirements perfectly, I hope you’ll try my Grilled Marinated Swordfish with Garlic, Ginger, Lime and Chiles. It bursts with bright flavors, and the swordfish steaks (you can also use other mild-tasting fish like halibut or yellowtail tuna) cook in little more than 10 minutes. No wonder it became one of the most popular recipes I used when I first began demonstrating my own reversible electric grill/griddle years ago on the Home Shopping Network. (You could also make it with a hinged electric
countertop grill, which cooks from both sides at once, cutting the cooking time in half.) Serve the fish with a rice pilaf and your favorite tomato salsa. Then close your eyes and imagine you’re dining outdoors! Grilled Marinated Swordfish with Garlic, Ginger, Lime and Chiles Serves 4 1/2 cup (125 ml) extra-virgin olive oil Juice of 3 medium limes Grated zest of 1 medium lime 6 cloves garlic, minced 3 small fresh serrano chiles, or 1 large jalapeño, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined and finely chopped 1 small bunch cilantro leaves, chopped 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 1 teaspoon brown sugar 4 swordfish steaks, each about 6 ounces (185 g) and 3/4 inch (18 mm) thick Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper In a large sealable food-storage bag, combine the olive oil, lime juice and zest, garlic, chiles, cilantro, ginger and sugar. Seal the bag and gently shake to combine the ingredients. Trim the skin and any traces of connective tissue from the sides of the swordfish steaks. If you like, carefully cut out the darker red areas of meat, known as the bloodlines, which have a slightly stronger flavor that some people do not like. Open the bag and put the swordfish fillets inside with the marinade. Seal the bag, eliminating any air, and gently move the swordfish fillets to coat them evenly. Put the bag inside a pan or shallow bowl large enough to hold it comfortably. Place in the refrigerator and leave the swordfish to marinate for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight, turning the bag over occasionally. Over high heat, preheat a nonstick ridged electric indoor grill or stovetop grill pan. Meanwhile, remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and pat off excess moisture with paper towels without wiping off the pieces of zest, garlic, chiles, cilantro and ginger. Season the swordfish steaks on both sides with salt and pepper and place them on the grill. Cook them undisturbed, turning them once, until well seared and cooked through to a temperature of 145 F (63 C) on an instant-read thermometer carefully inserted into the center, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
