BREAKING NEWS @
By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – Resident Jermaine Jackson recently received a very special award. Jackson was named the 2019 Citizen of the Year. Lakehurst Mayor Harry Robbins presented the award to Jackson during a Borough Council meeting. Observing the honor was his father, his wife and his two children. Municipal Clerk Maryanne Capasso said the borough’s award is a

tradition dating back to 2004. It is given to a person who distinguished themselves by their dedication, perseverance, and service to the Borough of Lakehurst. “Jermaine demonstrated his dedication to the Borough through volunteering his service and time for many borough events. Jermaine is also the founder of Taking Back Our Communities, a program that brings drug awareness to the communities,”
Capasso said. “Every year, for the past three years, Jermaine has had a barbeque at Lake Horicon and everyone is invited at no charge. He has food, entertainment, and information of drug abuse for those going through addiction and those affected by it,” she said. Joining him for his special honor was his wife Ashley and t he i r t wo ch i ld r e n Vesphera, 2, and Ziara, 1, and his stepfa-
ther Michael Pharms. Jackson said, “I put together drug and alcohol events. A friend of mine passed. I was shocked to learn from my brother one day who called me at work that my friend had overdosed in the bathroom of a pizzeria. “That bothered and scared me. I wanted to do something because I have children and didn’t want to see anything happen. That was three years ago in 2017. My wife helped me every step of the way. We held a rally event to bring awareness of the problem at the Community Center in Lakehurst,” Jackson said. “The event drew about 125 people and we followed up in the summer with a barbeque with music and a bounce house and it was a day of fun…I think that is what it is all about for people to come together. The reason I think people do what they do (in regards to drug and alcohol abuse) is because they feel they are all alone but they aren’t,” Jackson said.
Plan Forming For Life Support Coverage
By Chris Lundy TOMS R I V ER – With MONOC endi ng Adva nce d Life Support Services to the area, leaders in law enforcement and emergency ser vices met to make sure that every town is covered. MONOC’s advanced life support program will close on April 1.
Hackensack Meridian Health and RWJBarnabas Health will assume full operational and administrative responsibility of the program according to a letter from Jeff Behm, president and CEO of the Monmouth Ocean Hospital Service Corp. Advanced life support is different than ba-
sic life support. Towns either use volunteer or police-run squads (or some combination of the t wo) for basic life support. The towns then contract with a paid provider like MONOC for advanced life support. By way of example, both crews might arrive at a car crash. Basic
life support might be for someone who got banged up and needs to be evaluated. Advanced life support might be for someone who was thrown from the vehicle. Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy and the Ocean County Office of Emergency Management fa-

Council Looks Ahead to Solar Farm Project By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER - Members of the Township Council looked at several forthcoming projects and programs during a recent meeting. One concerned the future of a solar farm. Among the items on their consent agenda was the naming of NextGrid as the developer of a Landfill Solar Project. Council President Sam F. Fusaro Jr. provided background on the solar field saying “it is in its earliest phases, with the town just getting approval from the State Bureau of Public Utilities (BPU) and Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in the last couple weeks.” “Work will probably start in early spring. First, we have to cap the old township landfill before we can start the solar farm. Our estimate is at least a year before the job is completed,” Fusaro said. (Solar - See Page 4)
Seeing Test Scores As “More Than Just Numbers”
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – School officials recently discussed curriculum and ways the district is using data analysis of New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA) and other testing results to increase student success. Board members heard a presentation in December that served as a follow-up to a NJSLA Results presentation held in October. Diane Pedroza, the district’s director of curriculum, reviewed the steps that are used at the district level. Last July, administrators participated in a summer training with Dr. Tracey Severns called “The Leader’s Role in Using Data to Improve Student Outcomes.” Pedroza said it was a valuable session to help prepare them to focus on the data as a team. “What she discussed with us was ‘Let the data create a picture. Look at the data. See what’s there and then determine what the (Scores - See Page 7)

“The site is in Whiting, part of the Whiting Public Works trash and bulk recycling facility off Route 70 on Sam Bitts Road just west of the town’s Public Works garage,” he said. “The ongoing work will not interfere with the current bagged garbage and bulk trash operations. “Before we can move on to the solar farm, we need to cap the old township landfill which will be the site of the solar panels. As part of the project, NextGrid will complete and pay for the capping which will save the township over $1 million,” he said.

bird forest and required the town to declare two thirds of the property as wildlife open space in order to clear the necessary space for the tower,” he said. Fusaro said the project should start this spring and when completed should end Manchester’s need to impose water restrictions during the late summer months. “We are hoping to have it done this summer but may be delayed,” Fusaro said. Getting Grants Al Yodakis, the township’s director of public works was appointed as Community Development Block Grant Coordinator during the meeting. Yodakis has been the township’s CDBG coordinator for several years. “The county distributes the funds yearly. Each town gets funding annually with a larger grant every other year,” Fusaro said. Fusaro said in 2019, “we received a larger grant to improve the Cheer Barn at the Youth Football Complex on Rt 571. The barn is also used for a number of other Township activities to include the chili contest and movies (not) by the lake when the weather doesn’t cooperate.” “If we do get a CDBG this year it will be a much smaller amount. We have not decided on next year’s project yet,” Fusaro said. EMS And Vaping As the township is preparing for a new full time EMS system the council discussed the mass turnout of approximately 60 individuals showing up for the EMS testing during the early portion of January. The testing included physical portion and

knowledge related portions of the evaluation. Nearly 60 candidates participated in the training which included an extensive testing process at Manchester Township Middle School. The testing represents the first step for those candidates wishing to be considered for employment with the Division of EMS. Police Chief Lisa Parker described the training session saying, “the candidates appeared eager to have the opportunity be a part of this new program. This is an exciting time for Manchester Township, as expanding EMS is one of the largest projects I’ve seen during my 30-year career here. “It is also one that will help us to better serve our community in a significant way,” Parker added. Candidates for the positions of Emergency Medical Technician and Emergency Medical Technician/Firefighter were both tested during the session and all candidates were required to take a written examination for the position(s) they wished to be considered for. All candidates were required to complete three EMT skill stations. Those wishing to be considered for the position of EMT/Firefighter were also required to participate in a firefighter physical agility test. During several prior council meetings there had been some discussion by members of council regarding the possibility of drafting a resolution concerning banning vaping products in the township. In lieu of a recent state action banning children oriented flavored vaping products this became a moot point on the municipal level. “We will go with the state decision and not take additional action,” Fusaro said.

The township’s Lake Road park and trails are directly across Lake Road. Also approved was conservation deed restriction/easement agreement for Harriet Avenue with the NJDEP. Fusaro explained that “Harriet Road is adjacent to the Ridgeway Firehouse on Rt 571. The Township will be building a 1.5-million-gallon water tower at the back of the property north of the fire company.” The property is filled with trees at the current time. “The town will need to cut down trees on a small portion of the total.

Continued From Page 1 to our municipalities and ultimately our residents on how this will all work in the very near future,” said Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy. “I do believe that many of the concerns raised particularly in the senior communities were addressed during the meeting and will be drastically reduced as a result of ongoing dialogue with the new providers.” The most important topics covered during the meeting included staffi ng, coverage, and compassionate billing, he said. “With such a large county and with the largest senior population in the state, it’s important concerns are addressed before the new providers take over the service,” Mastronardy said. “My office and our Emergency Management staff look forward to a continuing dialogue with the new providers in order to assure our residents they will be taken care of during medical emergencies.” According to MONOC’s website, the service is run by Monmouth Ocean Hospital Service Corporation. It is a non-profit company started in 1978 that currently is made up of thirteen acute care hospitals throughout the state. “MONOC has experienced a challenging fi nancial environment caused by declining reimbursements and increasing payor restrictions, while the costs of running a high quality, high performance EMS and medical transport program continued to rise over the last few years,” a statement
The Manchester Times, February 15, 2020, Page 7 from the company said. “We have seen a decline in service participation from our members. As these healthcare systems grew and acquired their own EMS programs, the need for MONOC to service them diminished.” MONOC closing doesn’t mean that volunteer ambulance crews or municipal ones are going away. There will still be coverage of every town, officials have said. For years, volunteer squads have also seen declining enrollment. Many people don’t have the time for shifts of volunteer work. Others age out of service. As the population increases, the demand for fi rst aiders likewise increases. Several towns have started their own programs to supplement the volunteer squads, like Berkeley does. Manchester is just now starting up their own service. Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety, noted that Ocean County’s emergency 911 system usually is the fi rst call received during a medical emergency. “It’s important that any new protocols are closely reviewed and everyone works together for the benefit of our residents and visitors,” Kelly said. “I appreciate the efforts of the Sheriff and OEM to bring everyone together with the representatives of Hackensack Meridian Health and RWJBarnabas Health.” Kelly added, “addressing the concerns of our residents is an important step in making certain they feel confident in the service they are being provided.”

KNEE PAIN? Grinding, popping, difficulty walking or going up and down the stairs, bone-on-bone pain… Does any of this sound familiar?
There’s no one single answer to all knee pain, especially when every person is different. The truth is, it is impossible to know what kind of treatment would be effective until your case is examined. Only then can medical professionals determine what would be best for you. People suffering from knee pain often try a number of potential solutions before finding relief.

White House Marks 20th Anniversary Of Anti-Trafficking Law From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. − Rep. Chris Smith joined President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump, Attorney General William Barr, and other congressional and State Department officials at the White House to mark the 20th year since enactment of Smith’s landmark Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA, Public Law 106-386). “This landmark piece of legislation changes the landscape of the conversation around human trafficking and elevated the U.S. government’s capabilities to combat this evil,” said Ivanka Trump, who hosted the Summit and has led the administration’s multiple efforts to combat human trafficking. “An estimated 25 million people around the world today are being held captive, manipulated, or abused by human traffickers,” President Trump said. “I was proud to be the first commander-in-chief to attend a meeting of the President’s Interagency Task Force established by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000.” President Trump took the occasion, citing his authority under Smith’s TVPA, to sign an Executive Order entitled, Combating Human Trafficking And Online Child Exploitation In The United States, that declared “it shall be the policy of the executive branch to prioritize its resources to vigorously prosecute offenders, to assist victims, and to provide prevention education to combat human trafficking and
online sexual exploitation of children.” “A special thanks to President Trump for recently signing my fifth anti-human trafficking law and for today’s significant Executive Order,” said Smith, who authored the nation’s landmark Trafficking Victims Protection Act” which was signed into law in 2000. “Human trafficking is a barbaric human rights abuse that thrives on greed, secrecy, a perverted sense of entitlement to exploit the vulnerable and an unimaginable disregard for the victims,” Smith said. “Twenty years ago, the U.S. Congress approved and the President signed the first-ever historic legislation that I authored - the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 - a comprehensive whole-of-government initiative to combat sex and labor trafficking in the United States and around the world,” Smith said. “When I first introduced it, the legislation was met with a wall of skepticism and even opposition - dismissed by many as a solution in search of a problem. For most people at that time, the term trafficking applied almost exclusively to drugs and weapons, not human beings,” said the senior foreign policy lawmaker. U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican Callista Gingrich was a main speaker along with Smith at the White House event, calling human trafficking a stain on all humanity that robs millions of people of dignity, and telling the summit attendees that faith-based organizations have a key role to play because governments cannot act alone. “Together, law enforcement agencies and faith-based organization help facilitate victim recovery, reintegration and criminal prosecution,” Gingrich said. “Here in the United States the Department of Homeland Security
and the FBI have a strong relationship with faith-based service organizations to provide safehouses for victims.” “Human trafficking is a global crisis and requires a global solution across all sectors of society. Partnerships with faith-based organizations are critical in turning the tide,” she said. “Faith-based organizations serve as lifelines for some of the most vulnerable people on the planet, including victims of human trafficking. They have an unrivaled ability to
build trust with survivors and to provide care and rehabilitation. Like the United States, the Holy See understands and appreciates the powerful role of faith-based organizations in eradicating modern day slavery.” Gingrich said the Catholic Church works through its global network of 1.3 billion people, extending anti-trafficking grants to religious orders in 36 countries, and anti-trafficking courses to more than 2,000 sisters in 92 countries.

Continued From Page 1 trends are and what story it is telling,’” she said. Once the data was released, there was a follow-up meeting in October with Dr. Severns to process the information. This was followed by building level meetings and then administrators met with the superintendent to review each building’s data to look at trends and discuss how to address them. At the elementary schools, Supervisor Michelle Nichol said there were building level committee meetings and staff collaboration using what was learned from Dr. Severns. “Most importantly, to let the data tell the story, to see the data as more than just the numbers.” Nichol described the way off icials analyzed the data. “We wanted to see individual students, were they growing a year’s worth of growth from one year to the next? We like to look at individual students, individual grade levels, and look at growth to make sure our students are growing at the rate that they should be.” Nichol’s added, “there were grade level meetings for analysis of instructional practices and refi nement of lesson plans and strategies to elevate standards. We took a really good look at our lesson plans and we refi ned our lesson plan templates to help teachers really refi ne their standards-based instruction, to help them look at the standards, create really solid objectives and then use our resources and strategies to be able to implement those into our classrooms.” The elementary and middle schools continue to use the district’s Tiered System of Supports for intervention and targeted instruction. They have implemented the new Ready Classroom mathematics program and new social emotional learning practices. “We’ve infused our personalized learning resources,” Nichol said. “We have set guidelines in terms of the targeted interventions that are taking place in those programs. Teachers are getting specific lesson plans from our iReady data that they can pull into those programs, and each individual student’s needs are being met.” At the middle school level, Supervisor Linda Saraceno said they changed the format of their department, grade level and faculty meetings to meet as a whole group and then break off to department level in certain meetings. “Nowadays, it’s not just the book it’s the whole program that you are assessing so we want to look at what we have and what’s available out there.” Saraceno added the middle school brought in Schoolwide Inc. to provide professional development in writing instruction, including a coaching day where the representative went into classrooms to observe and coach teachers. “The (middle school) social studies and English language arts teachers got together and developed standards-based daily practices that are being used for every ELA class and every social studies class.
They are based on the released items from the New Jersey Student Learning Assessment so they are actual items that the students were tested on that the state releases,” Saraceno said. “We created short exercises for students to practice. The teachers got together with me and we created a model block. The teachers looked at a K-2 block, grade 3 block and grade 4-5 block to see where the students are coming from as they’re entering the middle school and how we can better refi ne what we’re doing during that literacy block,” Saraceno said. Looking at the high school level, Supervisor Maureen Moore said they are basically following the same process with the assessment committee and will be sharing information to the staff. Moore said data conferences were held with teachers to discuss student performance and the curriculum. Among the new programs at the high school is the AIM Program, which targets 8th and 9th grade students having difficulties in ELA and mathematics with a summer program. Moore said that additional remedial semester courses would be added to support students not attending the AIM summer program. “Professional development at the high school is supporting our initiatives and what our fi ndings are saying. Our ELA professional development includes support for implementation of the new 9th grade textbook that was purchased last year, “Moore said. Articulation with Lakehurst, whose students go to Manchester High School, is ongoing, including implementing the AIM program there. “For mathematics, we are looking at the textbooks and trying to fi nd a book that really supports the NJ student learning standards and practices and really fl ipping how were giving that instruction,” Moore said. Superintendent David Trethaway said the district has much more access to data than it did in the past. “There’s only one thing worse than not using the data, and that’s making the wrong conclusions from the data and it’s very simple to do that. In the old days we looked at the raw score and said okay this is good, this is bad, an 87 is better than an 85. It’s a lot more complex than that.” “A raw score really doesn’t tell us anything. You have to look at comparisons. You have to look at the whole picture. Where are we compared with the state? Where are we compared with the county? Where do we compare to similar districts? And not only do you have to compare that, but the other important thing is where our growth is - looking at how a particular student scored in 4th grade and where he scored in 5th grade,” Trethaway said. “We are given these results after those students have now moved on. It’s like trying to fix the airplane while we’re flying it. The district is also doing a lot more formative assessment throughout the year. You can’t just wait until the end of the year and say, well I guess we need to work on this,” he said.

Joint Base To Be Used As Quarantine Camp For Coronavirus Pandemic
By Alyssa Riccardi OCEAN COUNTY – The Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst military base has been selected as a designated emergency camp to quarantine any individual who could possibly have the coronavirus. In the case where all local health care facilities become full, the base was chosen as a backup complex. According to the Pentagon, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services asked U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper to select bases near 11 major airports that could house additional passengers. With the Joint Base being about 60 miles away from Newark Liberty International Airport and less than 50 miles from Philadelphia International Airport, it was a strong pick. This extra housing can hold up to 20 people that need to undergo any observation. The base will also assist the Health and Human Services personnel with additional office space and room for equipment. Any passengers from Newark airport that are suspected of exposure will be housed at the Joint Base for up to 14 days and will be reviewed for any symptoms by authorized medical personnel from the federal government. “This is a preventative measure. Every passenger receives multiple, thorough screenings before leaving from overseas and again upon arrival to the United States. HHS will be responsible for all care, transportation, and security of the passengers during the quarantine period. Anyone showing symptoms of the infection will be transported to an off-base medical facility for a full medical evaluation, treatment, and isolation,” the Joint Base said in a statement. This base will become helpful especially with recent virus scares in the area.

The intensive 10-week program focuses on transformational leadership, creating cohesion, conflict management, critical thinking, communications, counseling, decision making, and leadership science.

West Point to develop future police leaders. Sgt. Gatnarek received the Academic Achievement Award, which is given to the student who had the highest grade-point average. Each student is required to take four written exams which are all cumulative and take about four hours to complete. A final college level paper is also due at the conclusion of the class. “Every newly promoted sergeant is required to complete this leadership class,” said Chief Lisa Parker. Chief Parker and Lt. Vincent Manco are also instructors for the program.

Alzheimer’s And Hearing Loss: Early Detection May Alleviate Symptoms
According to a study attributed to the Alzheimer’s Association (AA), in conjunction with the Better Hearing Institute (BHI), strong evidence suggests that hearing impairment contributes to the progression of mental impairment in older adults. “People living with Alzheimer’s face many challenges,” says Sergei Kochkin, executive director of the BHI. “Hearing loss should not have to be one of them. When hearing loss is left unaddressed, it can significantly compound the challenges that people with Alzheimer’s and their families already face.” What is Alzheimer’s? Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and fatal brain disease that affects behavior, cognition and memory loss in over 26 million people worldwide. Alzheimer’s is typically diagnosed in individuals age 65 and older. The number of those affected is expected to rapidly increase as our nation’s aging population explodes over the next 30 years. When hearing loss or impairment goes undetected, it can interrupt the brain’s understanding of spoken language and sounds. When someone is experiencing both Alzheimer’s and hearing loss symptoms, their ability to understand can sharply decrease. If their hearing issues were diagnosed and treated earlier, the means of successfully managing the disease increase. The BHI’s research has discovered that people with Alzheimer’s who regularly wear hearing devices in combination
with a consistently practiced aural retraining therapy program are able to diminish the wide range of Alzheimer’s symptoms. If you are concerned that you or a loved one might be experiencing the early warning signs of Alzheimer’s, it is recommended that you maintain your regular hearing evaluations. Working with your hearing health care professional to detect these warning signs as early as possible is a critical fi rst step in confi rming an accurate diagnosis and creating an effective long-term plan of treatment for Alzheimer’s and hearing loss. Ten Signs To Watch Out For The Alzheimer’s Early Detection Alliance (AEDA) campaign, “Know The Ten Signs: Early Detection Matters,” is working to identify the early signs of Alzheimer’s. According to the AEDA, the 10 signs to watch for include: 1. Memory changes that disrupt daily life 2. Challenges in planning or solving problems 3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks 4. Confusion with time or place 5. Trouble understanding visual images and special relationship 6. New problems with words in speaking or writing 7. Misplacing things and losing ability to retrace steps 8. Decreased or poor judgment 9. Withdrawal from work or social activities 10. Changes in mood or personality

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The Flu Vs. Coronavirus
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
There’s a virus that has become a growing threat to people of all ages. The Secretary of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency in the United States. The facts are as follows: 1. Recently, all passengers coming in to the U.S. who have been in Hubei province in China in the prior 2 weeks will be potentially quarantined for 14 days. This region of China is where Wuhan is located, and that is the epicenter of the outbreak. 2. There is an entire region in China that is in complete lockdown, and they’ve quarantined more than 50 million people to contain the outbreak. 3. The WHO has deemed the virus a “global health emergency,” further advising Americans not to travel to China. So far, only a handful of Americans have caught it, and one man has already been successfully treated. His case study and treatment protocol was just published in The New England Journal of Medicine. 4. There is human to human transmission. The coronavirus, known in shorthand as 2019-nCoV is a very odd bug! Researchers are desperately trying to understand its genomic sequence so that treatment can be hastened. It is weirdly possible that a person became infected by consuming a bat, or a snake that had eaten a bat. This is theorized because the coronavirus shares 96.2% of its DNA sequence with a bat. And in some open food markets, wild animals are actually sold as food. People with a cold or flu commonly use
analgesics, fever reducers, cough syrup and decongestants or antihistamines. Symptoms of 2019-nCoV are similar to the flu, or to the common cold so you might expect a fever, shortness of breath, weakness, coughing and asthma-like symptoms. Pneumonia is the most dangerous complication. More and more people will be walking around the U.S. with disposable face masks and whether or not that’s for the 2019-nCoV or for the flu doesn’t matter. They’re either just protecting themselves, or being polite to others. At this time, I think the risk of contracting coronavirus in the United States or Canada is quite small. If you travel via plane, or cruise ships then of course your risk goes up for this as well as the flu. As for the flu vaccine, it may be appropriate for protection against certain strains of influenza, however it was not ‘built’ to protect against 2019-nCoV. Some of the following holistic remedies may be helpful during cough/cold season, however these are not useful to treat coronavirus. You must seek medical attention if you have a serious respiratory illness: • Matcha Tea • Elderberry • Astragalus • Ginger • Garlic • Mullein root • Eucalyptus essential oil I have a much more thorough version of this article which I can email to you if you’re interested. I’ll add you to my online data base when you sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

Free Tax Prep Offered In Ocean & Monmouth
JERSEY SHORE – In partnership with Fulfill, United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties is offering free personalized tax preparation at Financial Success Center (FSC) Network locations in Freehold, Long Beach Island and Toms River. Financial Success Centers provide free, comprehensive resources under one roof to help people move from financial difficulty
to economic well-being. One way the Financial Success Center Network helps struggling workers in our community is by connecting them with the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). EITC is a benefit for working people with low to moderate income. To qualify, certain requirements must be met and a tax return must be filed, even if you do not owe any
tax or are not required to file. In 2019, Fulfill helped 4,500 households file their taxes for free through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. This resulted in over $7.8 million in State and Federal refunds for participants, including $2.4 million in Earned Income Tax Credits. Monmouth and Ocean County households earning $56,000 or less, or individuals earn-
ing $35,000 or less, are eligible for free tax preparation by IRS certified tax professionals from Fulfill. Appointments are available at the following Financial Success Centers from now through April 15. FSC Freehold Tuesday – Friday 12 to 7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Hackensack Meridian Community Resource Center, Freehold Raceway Mall, First Floor Macy’s Wing 3710 Route 9, Freehold.

Inside The Law Residential Real Estate Tax Appeals Basics
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq., and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Januar y is the time to consider whether to appeal your residential real estate taxes. This article will address some of the most commonly asked questions about tax appeals. The most important thing to understand about real estate tax appeals is what you can and cannot appeal. Under New Jersey law, you can only appeal that the assessment for your property is in excess of the property’s fair market value. The assessment is the municipality’s determination as to the value of your property. This determination is sent to each taxpayer around February 1 of each year in the form of a post card identifying the property and the current assessment. It is equally important to know what you cannot appeal. You cannot appeal the following: (1) the amount of taxes which you have to pay; (2) whether you can afford to pay the taxes; (3) that another person is paying less taxes than you; and (4) that the assessment of another property is less than yours. Thus, the local County Tax Board can only hear appeals that the property’s assessment is greater than its fair market value. The municipal tax assessment is entitled to a presumption that it is correct. It is up to the taxpayer to prove that the assessment is excessive. To do this, the taxpayer must present evidence to the Tax Board as to the correct fair market value of the property. This evidence should

b e i n t h e fo r m of sales of comparable Marc S. Galella Esq. properties which occur red on or before October 1 of the year prior to the filing of t h e a p p e a l. Si n c e most people do not know how to obtain comparable sales, it is best to hire a State licensed or certified real estate appraiser to prepare an appraisal showing the comparable sales. The appraisal must be filed with the Tax Board no later than one week prior to the tax appeal hearing date. The appraiser should also be at the hearing to present the appraisal. In most cases all tax appeals must be filed no later than April 1 of each year. However, the appeal deadline may be earlier or later. It is best to check with the town as to the filing deadline. The filing deadline is strictly enforced and the failure to file by the deadline will result in the appeal being dismissed. Taxpayers seeking to file appeals should begin the process as soon as they receive the assessment card from the tax assessor. Because the laws and procedures regarding tax appeals are complicated, it is a good idea to retain the services of an attorney to assist you in filing and pursuing the appeal. R. C. Shea and Associates has a long history of obtaining reductions in tax assessments for our clients.

Controversial Ocean County Facebook Page Deleted
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY - Will Rise Up Ocean County rise up once more? Many do not think so as the controversial Facebook page has shut down again. The page has been critcized in the last year for being a haven of anti-Semitism and forum for hate speech. As of Feb. 5, it has been deleted from the social media
website for “using hate speech.” Rise Up Ocean County, became active in 2018 and according to its administrators focused on bringing awareness to traffic, overcrowding and general growth issues. The page’s administrators took it down for 24 hours last month leading some to think it was gone for good but it rose back to the irritation of residents, clergy and
public officials. The administrators of Rise Up Ocean County administrators posted Facebook’s notification on their separate website: “Your page has been unpublished for using hate speech, which goes against the Facebook Community Standards.” They plan to appeal the social media group’s ruling stating its removal was “arbitrary and
capricious.” In a January interview with Jersey Shore Online.com an administrator of the group who would not give his name, acknowledged that the group had come under great scrutiny by Facebook blaming Governor Phil Murphy and Attorney General Gurbir Singh Grewal for putting pressure on the social media platform. The administrator had said that the platform was being more selective in what it was allowing to be posted, was cooperating with authorities and was being more cautious. In its appeal, the administrators said “our posts and our comments to insure that at all times we complied with Facebook community standards.” The appeal adds that “the platform is too valuable to our efforts to risk losing it.” Murphy and Grewal issued a joint statement said “we just learned that Facebook has decided to take down the public page on the company’s social network called ‘Rise Up Ocean County.’ Facebook’s action comes 10 months after the Director of our Division on Civil Rights, Rachel Wainer Apter, fi rst sent a letter to Facebook expressing concerns about racist and anti-Semitic statements on the page.” “There is a rising tide of hate around our country and around our state. We at the Division on Civil Rights are working with community organizations to combat it by creating connections, fostering mutual understanding and respect, and confronting stereotypes.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
CDL DRIVERS WANTED • Competitive starting pay with health insurance and 401K benefits available
The Great Wine Caper
Dear Joel, My husband and I are friends with a wine-loving couple who enjoy dining at BYOB restaurants. We get together approximately once a month, alternating who selects the restaurant. In the beginning, we’d each bring a bottle of wine, but after a few times of running out before dinner was over, we started bringing a second bottle just in case. Our friends continue to bring one bottle and on multiple occasions, have brought a half-full bottle knowing that we had more than enough for the table. We are not cheap and have no problem sharing, but it’s getting ridiculous since we almost always open the third bottle. If we don’t bring the extra bottle and they finish theirs, they will ask to share ours and how can we say no? Do you have any suggestions on how to approach this tactfully? Answer: Obviously, your friends appreciate your generosity, and they are either
taking advant age of it or are completely oblivious. The next time you have plans to dine at a BYOB, I would suggest whoever selects the restaurant is ‘in charge’ of bringing the second bottle of wine. Or, just the opposite, the couple who doesn’t select the restaurant brings the extra bottle. Of course, there would have to an initial conversation, but it should be simple and easy to say, “I have an idea...”. Once you’ve established a pattern there shouldn’t be any further issue. Perhaps switching it up once and a while to a restaurant with a liquor license wouldn’t be a bad idea either. “Thanks for writing” Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Facebook:
Continued From Page 24 role to play in monitoring comments that incite violence based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, ancestry, and disability,” Apter wrote in a letter to Facebook last April. “Since then, we’ve consistently and repeatedly made clear our view that the page appeared to violate Facebook’s terms of service, and we appreciate that Facebook has now decided that this kind of hateful rhetoric has no place on its platform,” the joint statement added. The statement included, “there remains much that should be done to stop the spread of hate on the Internet. The Murphy Administration will continue to call out hate whenever and wherever we see it, we will persist in demanding meaningful reforms to address the proliferation of hate online, and we will continue working to make New Jersey a safe and inclusive place for all of our residents.” Almost a year ago, the subject of the Facebook page was noted at a press con-
ference held in the lobby of the Jackson Municipal Complex a half hour prior to the township’s regular council meeting which the topic dominated. During the press conference various officials including (R-30th District) Sen. Robert Singer condemned the documentary and Rise Up Ocean County. Mayor Michael Reina and the members of council said anti-Semitism had no place in Jackson or the rest of the world. The audience at that meeting was made up of many Orthodox Jews from Jackson, Lakewood and Toms River who joined township residents in calling for the governing body to adopt a resolution identical to one passed in Lakewood earlier this month proposed by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organization. The Freeholders passed that resolution days later. It denounced Rise Up Ocean County, calling it anti-Semitic based on the text and content of their posts and four trailers promoting the release of a documentary called “Ocean County 2030.” That documentary has not been released according to the administrators of Rise Up Ocean County. The subject of that documentary were issues of current and future development in Ocean County primarily focusing on Lakewood, Toms River and Jackson, each of whom have had an increase in their communities’ Orthodox Jewish population. Rise Up posted a response to the Freeholders, calling them traitors for passing the resolution shortly afterwards.

A Pain In The Neck By: Missy Torzewski, PTA
The cause of neck pain is not always the result of an underlying disease. In fact, when it comes to experiencing neck pain, the majority of cases involve a postural component. Driving or sitting for a prolonged period of time, carrying heavy items, and even sleeping in unnatural positions can all contribute to neck discomfort. It is important to understand good posture to relieve pain as well as preventing injury. WHAT IS GOOD POSTURE?
There is minimal stress on the neck with normal head posture due to the head being balanced naturally on the cervical spine. Good posture is when both ears are aligned directly above the shoulders, chest open and shoulders back. Good posture requires muscle elasticity, motion in joint and muscles, strong core muscles, and self awareness.
and weakened while the muscles anteriorly (in the front of your body) become short and tightened. The results are muscle imbalances which may cause painful strains and spasms, headaches, and migraines. Something to consider: For each inch of forward head posture, 10 additional pounds are added onto the stress of the cervical spine. The average weight of the skull is between 10-12 pounds which means if your head is positioned 2 inches forward, it has already doubled the amount of stress on the cervical spine.
keep your muscles and joints properly aligned which will prevent any muscle imbalances and future joint dysfunction and/or degeneration. Also, by improving your posture, you open up your body to better oxygen and blood circulation, meaning that you’ll also improve your ability to concentrate and focus.
It is important to recognize and address poor posture to prevent long term effects. As stiffness increases with prolonged forward head posture, range of motion decreases in your cervical spine, thoracic spine and can also affect the range of motion in your shoulders. Prolonged forward head posture can also lead to an increased risk for spinal degeneration and cervical osteoarthritis.
MISSY TORZEWSKI, PTA
WHAT HAPPENS WITH POOR POSTURE?
The most common mistake with posture begins when the head and neck are positioned forward. As your head shifts forward, the lower cervical spine goes into hyperflexion. As a result, the upper cervical spine goes into hyperextension due to your body adapting for straight-on vision. These curvatures can affect the ligaments, spinal disks, and its nerve roots causing pain and discomfort. Prolonged forward head posture also puts strain on the cervical and thoracic muscles responsible for holding your head in a neutral position, keeping your shoulders back, as well as spinal stabilization. Most postural muscles posteriorly (in the back of your body) become elongated
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING GOOD POSTURE?
Having good posture can prevent you experiencing neck and back pain. This type of pain affects about 80% of the population today. Proper posture helps
HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP YOU?
There has been a lot of success with physical therapy and postural defects. Strengthening the muscles that have been elongated and weakened and stretching the muscles that have been shortened may decrease a lot of symptoms. Physical therapy may decrease pain, improve range of motion, as well as improve overall posture. Your therapist will conduct a detailed initial evaluation to determine the best treatment for your particular symptoms involving postural exercises/stretches, modalities, and manual treatments. Missy graduated with high honors from Union County College in 2018 with an Associate’s Degree in Applied Sciences of the Physical Therapy Assistant Program. Prior to attending Union County College, Missy practiced as a certified athletic trainer after graduating from Kean University in 2013 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Athletic Training. Missy has worked with a wide variety of musculoskeletal, neurological, and body system pathologies covering all ages. She believes that one on one treatment approach combined with the right exercises and manual therapy will improve function and overall quality of life.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of feb 15 - feb 21 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Give yourself a little extra time to accomplish important tasks or assignments in the week to come. You may run into some obstacles or unavoidable slowdowns. Your romantic partner may shower you with affection. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Primping and pampering require your participation. Enjoy some romantic interludes and treats as this week begins. Later in the week you could come into contact with people who are more focused on material gain. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will be fine as a fiddle if you realize that it’s never futile to forgive and forget. In the week to come you’ll realize that everyone is somehow connected, and your community may be larger than expected. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Fighting fire with fire doesn’t always work to your advantage. If a partner or loved one strives to take control in the week ahead, you may try the same thing to get their attention. Focus on being generous and kind. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You and your partner could be creative and imaginative as a couple. The two of you may share some romantic fantasies. You could take some shortcuts to achieve your ambitions later in the week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What you see and what you get may not be the same thing. You may enjoy buying something for the pleasure it gives someone, but you should be skeptical of anything that appears to be too good to be true this week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Loved ones
and even casual acquaintances are willing to indulge your whims and grant favors today and tomorrow. Later in the week, however, your charming ways may be less likely to produce the same effect. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Delve into deep subjects. In the upcoming week you may become preoccupied by subjects that are related to upgrading your career or social standing. Enjoy spending quality time with loved ones this weekend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your generosity will be appreciated. Your good taste will be evident no matter what you purchase. You may feel pressured to make more money or stabilize your financial situation as this week goes by. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Since you are willing to cooperate, other people will be happy to team up with you. Achieve your ambitions by being persistent and attentive. You may experience a brief crisis of conscience as the week unfolds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have confidence in the power of positive thinking. In the week ahead you may be inspired to learn something new or to study a subject that triggers your imagination. Romance could come knocking on your door. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Enjoy good things and good times now. Your desire to reach worthy goals might get the upper hand during the week to come. You should not be so ruthless about getting ahead that you lose ground with co-workers.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen That’s Amore: Plan Ahead To Treat Your Sweetheart To The Sweet Taste Of Italy By Wolfgang Puck It can be a challenge when Valentine’s Day falls on a weekday. If you have a job or other demanding activities but want to cook for your Valentine, as many people wish to do, how do you prepare something special after what will probably be a busy day? The simple answer is to do some planning, and at least a little bit of cooking, ahead of time. That is why I’d like to share a special recipe to make for the one you love: a classic recipe from my restaurant Spago for the Italian frozen dessert known as a tartufo. If you know any Italian at all, even the restaurant version of the language with which many people are familiar, you may recognize the dessert’s name from more savory sections of the menu. Tartufo literally means “truffle,” referring first and foremost to the roughly spherical fungi found at the bases of some trees such as oak and hazel. Highly prized for their wonderfully earthy, aromatic perfume, truffles are among the great delicacies of the kitchen. Not surprisingly, the name became poetically attached to another coveted delicacy as well, and this one is sweet: Small, soft spheres of the chocolate-and-cream mixture called ganache, which are sometimes rolled in cocoa powder or grated or melted chocolate or to resemble the earth still clinging to true truffles when they’re dug up. Many of you reading this will no doubt give, or receive, a box of chocolate truffles on Valentine’s Day. But there’s still another type of sweet truffle; this one is a frozen dessert that at least two different restaurants in Italy that I know of - one in the town of Pizzo on the coast of Calabria near the southwestern toe of Italy’s boot, the other in Piazza Navona in the heart of Rome some 380 miles to the northwest - claim to have invented themselves. This tartufo, for which I offer you a simple, delicious version here that we served long ago at Spago in Beverly Hills, is a semisoft frozen dessert (which the Italians call a semifreddo) made by mixing together melted chocolate, beaten egg yolks, a simply made sugar syrup, and some cream. I like to freeze the mixture until firm enough to scoop, and then form it into egg-shaped ovals that I roll in grated chocolate before returning them to the freezer to set. It’s a surprisingly simple recipe, but still one that would be wise to make up to a couple of days ahead of Valentine’s Day so you have it ready to remove from the freezer and serve to your sweetheart. CHOCOLATE TARTUFO Makes 5 to 10 servings 9 ounces (255 g) bittersweet chocolate 2 large egg yolks 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 1/2 cup (125 mL) water 1 cup (250 mL) heavy cream 2 tablespoons Chambord or other raspberry liqueur, or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Raspberry compote (recipe follows) Cut 6 ounces (170 g) of the chocolate into small
chunks. Put the chunks in a medium heatproof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water; when the chocolate is almost melted, remove the pan from the heat, stir the chocolate, and leave it to continue melting. Keep warm. Over another bowl, grate the remaining chocolate. Set aside at cool room temperature. In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a wire whip or beaters, whip the egg yolks until thick. Alternatively, put the yolks in a large heatproof mixing bowl and beat them with a hand-held electric mixer. Meanwhile, clip a candy thermometer to the side of a small saucepan, Put the sugar and water in the pan and, over high heat, bring the sugar and water to a boil, watching carefully, until the mixture reaches 230 F to 234 F (110 C to 112 C). Large, shiny bubbles will form and the syrup will thicken. Instantly remove the syrup from the heat and, with the mixer running at the lowest speed, carefully pour the syrup into the yolks. (Be careful to avoid pouring the syrup directly onto the beaters or the sides of the bowl.) Once all the syrup is poured, increase the speed to medium and continue beating until the mixture is cooled and very thick. Scrape in the melted chocolate and beat until incorporated, forming a stiff mixture. Still beating at medium to high speed, gradually pour in the cream until smoothly incorporated, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides of the bowl and under the beaters with a rubber spatula. Beat in the Chambord or vanilla. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl, cover, and freeze just until solid enough to shape, 3 to 4 hours. Line a tray with waxed paper. To form the tartufos, use a pair of tablespoons, scooping up the mixture generously with one and shaping it with the other to create a smooth oval larger than an egg. Dip the spoons occasionally into warm water to make it easier to scoop. As each oval is formed, roll it in the grated chocolate to coat completely; then, transfer to a freezer-proof tray lined with parchment paper or foil. (If the remaining mixture softens too much, return it to the freezer and then continue shaping when it’s firm enough.) Loosely cover the tartufos and free until just before serving time. To serve, spoon some raspberry compote atop individual chilled dessert plates and place two tartufos on each plate. Serve immediately. RASPBERRY COMPOTE Makes about 2 cups (500 mL) 4 pints (2 L) fresh or frozen raspberries 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar Grated zest of 1 medium lemon In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the berries, sugar and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat until the berries exude their juices. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, let cool to room temperature, and refrigerate in an airtight nonreactive container until needed, up to one week.
