Christie’s Form�la Co�ld Do��le State Aid To Manchester “(The) Fairness Formula is spot-on and a needed remedy for towns like Manchester, that have been historically under-funded.”

–Mayor Ken Palmer

–Photo by Jennifer Peacock Manchester stands to gain double its student state aid and $601 per average household in property tax relief under Governor Chris Christie’s school fairness formula.

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – After advocating for changes for more than a decade, local officials see promise in Governor Chris Christie’s school fairness formula, saying it could double state aid to Manchester and ease local tax burden.

The formula has received support from both the mayor and council in Manchester.

At its regular July 11 meeting, Council— with Vice President Samuel Fusaro and Councilman Brendan Weiner absent—approved a resolution supporting the governor’s fairness formula.

Council President James Vaccaro spoke to The Manchester Times later that week.

“It’s a must. It’s a salvation for districts like Manchester that are throughout New Jersey.

Without that additional funding, the costs are prohibitive. The people of Manchester need relief.”

Under the governor’s plan, each school district would receive a flat $6,599 per pupil

enrolled while still receiving special education funds, which would about double the state aid Manchester receives. According to the governor’s projections, the average (State Aid - See Page 5)

Manchester Drops Energy Aggregate Months After Joining

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Manchester has left the energy aggregate it joined with Lacey and Stafford townships.

“One of our initial conversations…was the protection of the residents,” municipal clerk Sabina Skibo told The Manchester Times.

The reason was price f luctuations and the bid for the basic generation service, or BGF. “ O n e of t he things Council thought was, let’s see if we bid the packet both ways, with and without particular wording. If the basic generation service dropped lower than the contract rate, that the contract would cancel out and nobody would have to opt out of the program,” said the clerk. “It would automatically go back to the BGF, or it would allow us to renegotiate the rate with them if the BGF dropped. Between Stafford and Lacey and the consultant, they felt that if we went with that wording, it was going to cause us to not get the savings we were trying to get. We wanted the wording, and the others would not agree to it.”

With Stafford as the lead agency and (Aggregate - See Page 24)

Amid Warnings, Locals Leveling Up With Pokémon Go

By Shawn Smith Around midnight, the streets which are usually quiet are bustling with teens and young adults staring at their phones.

Suddenly, someone cries out, “There’s a Ninetails over by Wells Fargo!” The mass of trainers rush around the corner

and out of sight, except for a few who have brought lawn chairs and set themselves up in front of the Toms River Fire Department on Robbins Street.

Chances are that even if you live under a rock, you’ve heard of the newest Pokémon game (because people have probably

lifted the rock looking for one of the digital creatures). Pokémon Go is the newest craze, and within the short amount of time since its release just earlier this month, it has threatened to overtake Twitter with its number of daily users.

It’s sent hundreds of locals

out on walks to spots such as parks, businesses and other landmarks. And police and business owners are noticing the uptick in pedestrian traffic, at all hours.

The game uses “augmented reality,” in which Google Maps (Warnings - See Page 7)

The festival included such draws as carnival rides, traditional and unique fair foods, and a bevy of prize animals such as rabbits, poultry, horses and goats from local 4-H clubs. Rounding out the fun were demonstrations by seeing eye dog trainers and an all-terrain vehicle club among others. Featured entertainment included live performances by The Amish Outlaws and other bands. For more information, visit oceancountyfair.com.

homeowner in town would also see a property tax savings of $601.

“We’re treading water and we can’t compete. That $6,599 would be a substantial amount of money for Manchester and give our taxpayers tremendous relief,” Vaccaro said. “It would stabilize our real estate taxes and we would get development in the township, and people moving into township.

Development brings jobs. It’s a win/win for education and a win/win for Manchester.”

The week before on his Facebook page, Mayor Kenneth Palmer posted a photo of his signed pledge to support the governor’s fairness formula.

“Governor Christie’s Fairness Formula is spot-on and a needed remedy for towns like Manchester, that have been historically under-funded,” Palmer told The Manchester Times. “I truly appreciate Governor Christie tackling such a colossal issue!”

As has been previously reported in the Times, Manchester, under the state’s current school funding formula, is considered a wealthy district because of its ratio of senior citizens to enrolled students. That formula also negatively impacts Berkeley and Cape May Courthouse. Councilman Craig Wallis in the November 20 edition of the Times said Manchester is shortchanged $12 million.

“The school funding fairness doctrine on the surface would be great for Manchester.

It has the potential to bring millions of dollars of additional state aid to the district.

However, a change this significant will also

The Manchester Times, July 23, 2016, Page 5 present some challenges. It is very early on in the discussion so the district will be watching this situation very closely,” Manchester Schools Business Administrator Craig Lorentzen said.

School funding issues have worked their way through New Jersey courts many times.

The state’s superior court ruled in 1985 and again in 1990 that the state’s funding formula was unconstitutional and inadequate toward poor urban districts. “Abbott” districts were created; 31 Abbott school districts get $5.1 billion of the state’s $9.1 billion in state school aid. The remaining $4 billion is divided up among the remaining 546 districts.

There are no Abbott Districts in Ocean County.

Pemberton Township in Burlington County, which neighbors Manchester to the west, is not a poor urban district but based on the state’s criteria, does qualify as an Abbott District. Eighty percent of the district’s budget comes from state aid.

“The first thing I should say is, we do get too much money,” Pemberton Township School District Superintendent Tony Trongone told The Manchester Times. He said his district is keeping abreast of both the governor’s and Senate President Stephen Sweeney’s respective school funding plans. “Over the course of Governor Christie’s administration, he’s frozen state aid. Therefore, people will talk about formula, but the formula is based on enrollment. We’ve had a drop in enrollments.

So, if we shouldn’t get state aid because of enrollment, I understand that.”

According to education blogger Jeff Bennett of New Jersey Education Aid, Pemberton is

overfunded by almost $6,000 per student.

(Conversely, New Brunswick is underfunded by more than $3,000 per student.)

Yet Pemberton Township is located in the Pine Barrens and can’t be built out any more, Trongone said. The township’s Browns Mills section does have some commerce and Deborah Heart and Lung Center, but is generally considered a depressed economic area.

With little chance to bring in new ratables, the tax base could not support the predicted $11,000-per-pupil deficit under Christie’s proposed plan.

Trongone, who said he does not endorse either political party, continued: “What I don’t understand is providing Pemberton and all Pemberton students and all students of the state with a thorough education, and there have been court cases, where we’re supposed to receive a certain amount of state aid predicated upon the needs of our students. Therefore, I’m 100 percent against Governor Christie’s plan, but I’m waiting to see how Senator Sweeney’s plan plays out, because he wants to follow the school funding formula. Pemberton will weather the adjustment. We’ll get through it and make our adjustments. It’s a common sense approach.

Governor Christie’s approach doesn’t make

sense to me. Obviously it will make sense to a district that has been underfunded. So a school district should get $52 million more and Pemberton should get $52 million less?

That’s absurd.”

Sweeney’s bill would create four-member “State School Funding Fairness Commission.” That commission would have one year to develop a five-year plan for bringing each school district to its “adequacy funding.”

According to the NJ Department of Education, a district must be marked by low student achievement and “concentrated poverty” to be classified as an Abbott District.

Abbott districts are: Asbury Park; Bridgeton; Burlington City; Camden; East Orange; Elizabeth; Garfield; Gloucester City; Harrison; Hoboken; Irvington; Jersey City; Keansburg; Long Branch; Millville; Neptune Township; New Brunswick; Newark; Orange; Passaic City; Paterson; Pemberton Township; Perth Amboy; Phillipsburg; Plainfield; Pleasantville; Trenton; Union City; Vineland; West New York; and Salem City.

overlays with the game map that players use, and geolocates like a GPS does. As users play, they have to move in the real world to move their character in the game. Places like parks, monuments and churches serve as locations in the game where trainers can get supplies, or battle their Pokémon.

While the game’s popularity has exploded, issues surrounding it have also emerged, with national news reporting incidents from drivers getting into accidents while playing, to three women finding a dead body in a park. Townships such as Lacey have issued statements to the public, warning of the dangers of using a smart phone and disregarding your surroundings. The game also greets users with a warning to be aware of their surroundings while they play.

“The Lacey Township Police Department is advising residents playing this game to please be alert at all times, and stay aware of their surroundings to avoid potential problems while playing the game,” according to the press release. “Additional safety tips include, not driving or utilizing a bicycle, skateboard, or other devices while interacting with the app as you won’t be able to do both safely. Furthermore, be cautious not to trespass on private

The Manchester Times, July 23, 2016, Page 7 property or areas you normally wouldn’t, if you weren’t playing the game.”

Parents are not the only ones benefitting from the game getting their children out of the house, some local businesses are also seeing an increase of customers because of the locations of the “gyms” and “pokéstops” in the game.

Some businesses, such as Quaker Steak and Lube in Brick actually are a pokéstop themselves, despite the actual stop being the NASCAR on the roof of the building, but the restaurant said it has not seen an increase of patrons after the game was released.

“I don’t follow the Pokémon trend, so I don’t know if I just didn’t notice,” a manager who asked not to be named said on Monday. “I haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary.”

Another local “hot spot” also reported that they have not seen a noticeable difference in patrons, despite the extreme popularity of the game.

Tori Ben, mother of the owner of Uncle Doods Donuts, another business that has become a pokéstop, said the shop has not seen a noticeable difference in patrons, largely due to the hours of the business.

“We’ve had a few extra people, but the hours they are wandering around, we’re not

open,” Ben said. “We close at 1 p.m., there’s been a lot of traffic after 1, and before we open [at 6:30 a.m.].”

Police, the media and the game itself cannot stress enough that players always be aware of their surroundings, as Howell Police Chief Andrew Kudrick issued a message on the craze on the department’s Facebook page.

“The latest Pokémon Go game has become widely popular amongst kids and adults (yes, adults). Although, the game in itself is harmless, the activity associated with it has raised credible concerns with police departments and the public,” Kudrick wrote. “Over the past few days, the Howell Police Department has received numerous calls reporting suspicious activity/persons throughout the township. This includes our former municipal building directly behind police headquarters. Officers have reported watching multiple cars pulling into closed businesses and persons walking along the shoulder of Route 9 while looking down at their phones.”

The problem could be one of trespassing, he said. “Participants are trespassing on private property and are going into places they shouldn’t be. The activity associated with this game causes our officers to be distracted from their normal, legitimate pa-

trol duties. More importantly, the potential for someone getting hurt or involved in a bad situation participating in this game is an almost certainty,” said the police chief.

Ultimately, the call was for good judgment: “During this time of heightened awareness and security of our officers and government facilities along with the “see something, say something” campaign, participants must be responsible in participating in this game,” Kudrick said. “If you chose to participate, use good judgment. Don’t annoy the general public and the police. Stay off other people’s property and don’t engage in odd behavior that going to make people suspicious. Better yet, delete the game off your phones, head over to one of our local parks and play a good ‘ole game of kick ball.”

At the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, a statement was issued to military personnel about cellphone usage while in uniform, saying those trainers should wait until off duty before attempting to catch Pokémon.

“For our community members playing near the installation -- there are several Pokémon hugging our security borders,” the Facebook post said. “Unfortunately, catching Pokémon is not an accepted answer when being detained by Security Forces.”

As for that Ninetails? Turned out to be just another Pidgey.

Featured Letter Task Force Against Elder Abuse Needed Thank you Governor Christie and members of the legislat u re for signing Bill #S157 to create the New Jersey Task Force on Abuse Against the Elderly and Disabled. The impact of abusive practices is f inancially and emotionally devastating to our loved ones who are victimized.

There is also a tremendous burden on the judicial and social services systems to rectify the injustices from such crimes although vast numbers of such crimes go unprosecuted. AARP concurs that the resources and experiences of a multi-disciplinary task force could develop policy proposals to save lives and livelihoods.

Bipartisan policy-making task forces are a proven strategy for the successful development of useful laws and regulations. For example, this approach was successf ul i n i n it iat ives related to developing effective legislation re-

garding powers of attorney and guardianship jurisdiction. Unbiased, informed stakeholders prov ide valu able i nsights that can produce r e a l i s t ic, a c t ion a ble policy proposals. This new law provides an opportunity to develop the measures we need; to strengthen the investigation and enforcement capabilities of the Office of Adult Protective Services; to alert financial institutions’ i nvest igat ive agencies; to shine a light on potential instances of abuse and neglect based on warning signs; and to develop stricter safeguards that prevent fam ily members and caretakers from exploiting elders.

A A R P New Jersey looks forward to participating in this task force. We are confident that the results will improve the lives of New Jersey senior and their families.

What It Takes To Be an Effective Citizen It’s so easy in a presidential election year to forget that our system is not about a single person. This year especially, when the dynamics of the presidential contest have dominated news coverage so thoroughly, the cr ucial role that citizens play — apart from serving as voters in the presidential drama — isn’t even an afterthought.

Yet effective citizenship is the base on which our representative democracy rests. I believe it’s made up of several elements.

First, a confident belief that change is possible — that the country can indeed make progress over time thanks to the efforts both of ordinary people and of political leaders.

Yes, we’ve got miles to go on many fronts, but on the whole, our system is working better for more people than it did a few decades ago.

The people who helped make this happen understood t wo t h i ngs: t hat prog ress was possible, and that it required their efforts. Those who were most effective had an im-

pact because they had the skills to make a difference.

I’m talking here about the fundamental ability we should all have as citizens to solve problems i n a representative democracy.

This means knowing how to work together with all kinds of people, being able to find common ground, building consensus, and communicating ideas effectively.

I use the word “skills,” but in the end, good citizenship is as much about temperament as it is about ability. Mutual respect, tolerance, empathy, civility, humility, honesty, resolve — these are the simple vir t ues that our nation depends on in its citizens.

So is a willingness to step up to challenges. The people who make a difference in our system are the ones who not only identify a problem, but then plunge into fixing it.

There’s a final quality that makes for effective citizenship, and it’s a tough one: mostly, we’re not going to solve our challenges in a single generation.

So we have to educate ou r child ren and those who come after us in the skill sets I’ve been talking about.

That’s because all of us — you, me, and our fellow citizens — are responsible for the future of our neighborhoods and our nation. Unless we all shoulder the obligation to learn the skills we need to shepherd it into the future, and then teach those skills

to others, our country and our system will struggle.

Keep SSN Private Many small-minded people who work inside of New Jersey’s K-12 education system mislead parents of children registering for school, by claiming that they are required documents to register a child in school.

State law says a school district is required to register any student of school age who says they live within the district. Even if the child and parent lack any form of ID or other off icial documentation, the ch ild st ill must be registered and allowed to attend school.

Districts must admit the student and then the parent may provide whatever documents they can get together. It is the “totality” of those documents that can prove residency.

For example, a bi r t h certificate and a piece of mail would more than be sufficient ID under the law.

To protect your child from identity theft, you should never provide a social security number to a school district or your driver’s license. They have no legitimate use for this information.

A K-12 school is not the IRS, an employer, or a bank. How dare they demand a SSN? Eric Hafner Toms River

Spotli�ht On Go�ernment Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Of�icials

From The Desk Of The Mayor and Township Council MANCHESTER – Both Mayor Kenneth Palmer and members of the Township Council have put their support behind Governor Chris Christie’s proposed school funding fairness formula, a plan that promises significant property tax relief for Manchester Township.

Manchester officials have contended for years that the current funding formula is inequitable, leaving our proper ty owners to pay comparatively more than other municipalities to support the school district.

Mayor & Council Support School Funding Fairness Formula The proposed changes to the funding formula would set a flat amount of aid for each student, regardless of district, saving property owners in Manchester an estimated average of $600 based on the average home value of $157,700.

“This would make a huge difference to Manchester in property tax relief. Passage of this single measure would provide the largest decrease in property taxes for every Manchester resident,” said Mayor Palmer, who recently signed a pledge from the

Governor’s Office to support the Fairness Formula.

He encourages all residents to reach out to lawmakers to advocate for its adoption.

In a further show of support, the Township Council at its July 11 meeting passed a resolution in favor of the proposed funding formula.

“The new funding formula would provide substantial tax relief to Manchester’s residents, including our senior citizens who survive on fixed incomes. A lower tax rate would also attract new homeowners, businesses

and developers to our town, improving the economic environment for everyone,” said Council President James A. Vaccaro Sr. Currently, of the $9.1 billion in aid to school districts throughout New Jersey, about $5.1 billion goes to 31 districts, while the $4 billion goes to the remaining 546 districts. Govenor Christie’s proposal would reallocate funding so that each student, no matter their district, will receive $6,499. This would result in a 247 percent increase

in school aid to Manchester Township.

According to the Governor’s Office, the Fairness Formula is “an equal per-pupil funding plan that would provide tax fairness for all residents and better public education for every New Jersey student.” The plan would not impact special education funding.

Currently, 14 percent of Manchester’s school district funding comes from state aid, while some urban districts receive close to full funding. School taxes

Mayor Kenneth T. Palmer make up 54 percent of a homeowner’s property tax bill, with 27 percent allotted to the municipality and 19 percent to the county.

Residents are encouraged to send letters of support to Governor Christie’s office: Gov. Chris Christie, PO Box 001, Trenton, NJ 08625 or email constituent. relations@nj.gov.

Summer Safety Initiative Aggressively Enforces Traf�ic Laws OCEA N COU N T Y – Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato recently announced details of his Su m mer Safet y/ Enforcement Initiative to address rising fatalities, 55 alcohol/narcotics motor vehicle ar rests, numerous serious accidents and moving motor vehicle violations that have occurred from 2015 to the present on Route 528.

“Ocean County Law Enforcement must be pro-active in our efforts to keep motorists safe. A review of crash/arrest/traffic enforcement statistics, a rise in fatalities for CR 528, and the huge influx of additional summer commuters on this roadway, calls for a prudent coordinated traffic safety response. As in the case of CR 539 last summer, I have called upon all depar tments having jurisdiction in the area to do their part in alleviating these concerns and resolving potential safety issues,” said Prosecutor Coronato.

This safety/enforcement initiative on Route 528 between Mantoloking and

Plu msted Boroug h encompassed five municipal jurisdictions traversing 26 miles of roadway in Ocean County from Milepost 14 to 40. The road crosses through the towns of Mantoloking, Brick, Lakewood, Jackson and Plumsted.

Ad d it ion a l ly, O c e a n County law enforcement partnered with the New Jersey State Police and the Police Departments of Bordentown, Chesterfield and North Hanover to focus increased enforcement efforts on Route 528 from milepost 0 to 14 in Burlington County.

The planned response was the result of extensive meeti ngs called for by Prosecutor Coronato with local police chiefs, county officers/officials, NJ State Police, NJ Office of Highway Traff ic Safety and the Ocean County Road/ Engineering Departments to assure a full safety review of this major artery traversing Ocean County utilizing the proven plan of action covering three critical components: en-

forcement, engineering and education. The crafted initiative was a coordinated multi-jurisdictional/ agency effort supported by the chiefs of police and department heads from the following jurisdictions/ agencies: Ocean Count y Prosecutor’s Off ice, Ocean County Sheriff’s Department, NJ State Police Troop “C” – Tactical Patrol Unit, NJ State Police – Transportation Safety Bureau, NJ Office of Highway Traffic Safety, Ocean County Road Department, Ocean County Engineering Department, Mantoloking Police Department, Brick Police Department, Lakewood Police Department, Jackson Police Depar tment, Plumsted Police Department, NJ State Police Troop “C” – Bordentown Station Burlington County, Bordentown Police Depa r t ment – Bu rli ng ton County ,Chesterfield Police Department – Burlington County and North Hanover Police Department – Burlington County.

The enforcement element of the initiative, which ran

from June 17 to 30, was meant to bring vigilant and aggressive enforcement of all those motor vehicle moving and equipment violations that are major contributor y causes to crashes. These causes include, but are not limited to, improper passing, excessive speed, driving while under the influence, aggressive driving, improper turning, failing to yield, inattentive driving, disregard of traffic signal, following too close and various commercial carrier violations such as over weig ht, equipment maintenance and brake pressure. Additionally as

part of the enforcement ef for t s, Ocea n Cou nt y Prosecutor’s Office person nel assig ned to t he detail utilized unmarked police vehicles to report any aggressive and erratic driving to operating marked units, all policing agencies were encouraged to utilize patrol vehicles equipped with automated license plate readers, and var iable message sig ns were strategically placed along the roadway during the course of the initiative.

The engineering aspect of the initiative included a review by Ocean County Engineering of the accidents and specific roadway

dynamics to determine if ‘rumble strips’ or other possible safety improvements may be appropriate for portions of the roadway.

The education element included signage, media p ost i ngs , r a d io publ ic service announcements, awareness posters and coordinated social media postings by all the partnering agencies. As evident by recent localized media releases on enforcement, Prosecutor Coronato directed all par ticipating chiefs to be proactive in keeping media informed of enforcement effor ts, crash stats and initiative developments.

–Photo courtesy Homes For All This photo was taken at the groundbreaking ceremony of Homes For All’s Autumn Ridge project.

MANCHESTER – Jim Valle, president, and Glen McDonald, executive director of Homes For All, Inc., together with representatives of New Jersey Natural Gas local officials and community partners, broke ground on a townhome project that will provide new affordable housing opportunities in Ocean County. The Autumn Ridge community will consist of 82 units in Manchester Township and is made possible in part through the support of NJNG. “Homes For All has spent a great deal of time and energy in designing what we think is our best design yet, with volume ceilings and amenities usually only offered in luxury townhomes. Our goal remains to constantly improve what we offer to the workforce of New Jersey as a means of ensuring the foundation of our state’s economy by providing truly affordable housing alternatives.” said Glen McDonald. “We recognize to accomplish this is a collaborative effort. And we remain committed to working with our partners to support the foundation of our state’s economy with truly affordable housing for working families.” Glen added that “We are excited to be starting our newest Autumn Ridge community, which will offer a great opportunity for first time homeowners. Autumn Ridge at Manchester is in a private, wooded setting that is convenient to shopping, recreation, beaches

and much more. The excitement for this new community from prospective homebuyers has been terrific.”

The project consists of the construction of two and three-bedroom townhomes on Ridgeway Road at the intersection of Routes 70 and 571 in Manchester Township. Once complete, the units will be priced significantly below market value, providing the opportunity for first time buyers and families to purchase a quality home at a price within their financial means.

The groundbreaking represents a culmination of experiences to enhance and strengthen neighborhoods and help fulfill Homes For All’s mission to provide affordable housing and support services to families in New Jersey.

“Twenty years ago, New Jersey Natural Gas launched its Homeownership program to help families realize the dream of owning their own home,” said Thomas F. Hayes, director of Customer and Community Relations. “In honor of this occasion, we are pleased to present a $20,000 check and donate a van to Homes For All to help support their efforts to provide affordable housing opportunities, strengthen our neighborhoods and enhance quality of life in the communities we serve.”

The completion of the Autumn Ridge community is anticipated for 2018.

Does Hearing Really Effect My Golf Game?

Golf Digest conducted two tests that prove hearing’s link to the golf links.

Depicted below are a summary of the results: From 150 Yards In: 10 golfers with handicaps between 4 and 16 hit 18 balls each to a green 150 yards away with and without earmuffs: Without earmuffs, the group hit the green 67 percent of the time.

With earmuffs, the group hit the green only 53 percent of the time.

Judging Your Putts: 10 golfers with handicaps between 2 and 17 hit a variety of 48 putts with three identical putters, with and without earmuffs: Without earmuffs, golfers correctly guessed the putts’ outcome (long, short,

just right) 59 percent of the time.

With earmuffs, players guessed correctly only 40 percent of the time.

Arnold Palmer has been an active wearer of hearing aids for many years.

Golf Digest interviewed Mr. Palmer about the benefits of wearing hearing aids when golfing. Mr. Palmer said, “Your eyes are key on the golf course but I can tell you that your ears are equally important to playing good golf.”

Thus, if you’re an avid golfer suffering from hearing loss, you may want to have your hearing tested to determine whether hearing aids can be beneficial to you, in particular, helping your golf game and lowering your handicap.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

NEW JERSEY – Barry H. Ostrowsky, president and CEO for RWJBarnabas Health, was recently named one of ‘The 25 Most Influential People in New Jersey’

by NJ Advance Media. This annual ranking recognizes exceptional individuals in New Jersey with the innate ability to affect change.

In creating this year’s list of the ‘25 Most Influential People,’ NJ Advance Media considered relevance in social, political and cultural realms, as well as an “x-factor” to develop their scorecard. RWJBarnabas Health is the largest not-for-profit integrated health care delivery system and the second largest private employer in the state.

Also ranked on this list are Robert Barchi, president of Rutgers University; Governor Chris Christie; Bruce Springsteen; Jon Bon Jovi; US Senator Cory Booker and Stephen Colbert, comedian.

Ostrowsky leads RWJBarnabas Health’s initiatives ensuring the highest quality health care for patients, and is spearheading a state-wide endeavor to promote wellness

and healthier living for all employees and the diverse communities it serves.

Ostrowsky has also been vocal in speaking out about the need for more women leaders in executive positions and positions of power. “I am proud of the efforts that we are making at our own institution, but there is always room for growth,” said Ostrowsky.

“The time has come for an honest conversation about the role that men, including myself, must play in ensuring equal access to leadership for women. The bottom line is that decision makers in nearly every industry are men, and therefore it is incumbent upon us to facilitate the change needed.”

Ostrowsky joined Saint Barnabas Medical Center in 1991 as executive vice president and general counsel. He served in the same role at Barnabas Health, when the system was created in 1996. He assumed the title of president and chief operating officer in 2010, and became president and chief executive officer in January, 2012. Ostrowsky was recently named president and chief executive officer of the newly formed RWJBarnabas Health.

5 Lessons Learned From Seniors

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

I used to work in nursing homes where mostly elderly people live, or those who are very sick or terminal. I had a special practitioner license and served as the consultant pharmacist of record for about 11 nursing homes across Florida. Part of my job was to write monthly medical orders to the physicians to discontinue prescribed medications and lower dosages all with one goal: Make the resident (the patient) feel their best. Some things stuck with me and now I will share: I learned not to assume. – Some old people smiled at me, and some cried a lot. You might assume the smiley ones had less depression and pain, while the crying folks were the sad, depressed ones. Never assume. The smiley people may just be pushing harder, and those who are crying may be in horrific pain (not depressed).

Crying is sometimes the only way you can speak when your mouth can’t explain how desperate you are in your body.

I learned to send “love” in the mail. – I noticed that people who had friends or family visit them during the week required less medicine (and lower doses) than those residents who spent every day alone. If you can’t be physically present, then mail something. I have often been miles apart from my children and elderly parents, but to this day I still send little gifts or cards in the mail reminding them that I love them even though we are far apart.

I learned respect and compassion.

– The elderly have lost control of many things including their bladder function, their ability to walk, their home, car, their vision, their children and sometimes their mind. We need to remember that every time an old person is on our way, walking too slow, taking too long… you know once upon a time they were just like you. They had it all, they were happy, on top of the world and excited about tomorrow.

People used to ask for their advice, now they are invisible. I always show respect and compassion.

I learned to say yes. – Saying no to things is easy because there’s always tomorrow. Is there? After working in facilities and seeing some people (even young ones who were there due to accidents) I learned that life is short, you do not have forever. Stop waiting for a better time or 20 years will f ly by. Say yes and do it. Live your life before your life is lived.

I lear ned how little things make people happy. – Like painting their nails in the activity room, giving them $5 to spend, or brushing their hair or holding their hand and telling them everything’s going to be alright (even on their deathbed as they were nearing their last breath). Show up with love in your heart and even if you’re just sitting there to keep them company, do it with full attention. Stay home if you can’t come to them with a happy heart. They feel you – don’t ask me how I know.

OC Animal Facilities Join “Clear The Shelters” Adoption Event

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Animal Facilities are participating in the second annual “Clear the Shelters” national adoption event that will take place on July 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. at both locations.

“This event is the perfect opportunity to help a dog or cat in need find a loving, forever home,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean

County Board of Health. “If you, or someone you know, have been thinking about adding a dog or cat to the family, nothing is more rewarding than rescuing a shelter pet,” adds Freeholder Little.

“Our goal is to find homes for as many dogs and cats as possible during this special one day adoption event,” said Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD)

public health coordinator. “We’re in the midst of our busy season and have a bumper crop of kittens along with many other sweet, adults cats and dogs ready for a second chance,” Regenye said.

All adoption fees will be waived for everyone adopting a dog or cat from the Ocean County Animal Facilities on July 23. Every dog and cat adopted from the Ocean County Animal

Facilities receives a veterinary exam, age appropriate vaccinations, is spayed/neutered and microchipped.

The free adoption event will be held at the two Ocean County Facilities, operated under the care of the Ocean County Health Department; the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility located at 360 Haywood Road in Manahawkin and the Northern Ocean County Animal Facility located at 615 Freemont Avenue in Jackson.

“We have a wide variety of lovable cats and dogs available for adoption. From all sizes, ages, breeds, we have a pet suited for everyone,” said Brian Lippai, shelter manager.

“Every year hundreds of pets are adopted from the Ocean County Animal Facilities and there’s nothing better than seeing the joy and happiness these wonderful animals bring to their new families,” shares Lippai.

This is the first year Ocean County Animal Facilities will participate in the “Clear the Shelters” promotion. “Clear the Shelters” is a nationwide adoption event that includes the participation of hundreds of shelters from across the United States. Last year’s effort emptied many shelters of homeless animals in just one day, adopting more than 20,000 dogs and cats in need.

For more information on “Clear the Shelters” or the Ocean County Animal Facilities, call 732-657-8086 or 609-978-0127.

Church Seeks Donation For Historic Building Renovation

WHITING – The Whiting Bible Church, located at 95 Lacey Road, will be renovating its youth house building, which has historic roots to the town of Whiting. The original Sunday school building, once a one room school house, is 140 years old.

Whiting has gone through many changes through the years. The Whiting Bible Church has decided to retain and upgrade one of the first buildings in Whiting and the church is asking the public for tax deductible donations to assist in this project.

If willing to donate, mail the donation to Whiting Bible Church, 95 Lacey Road, Whiting, NJ 08759. Specify that the donation is for the renovation and upgrades of the historic building.

Sunday Worship Services of Holy Communion at 8:45 and 11:00 a.m.

Inside The Law When Should I Change My Will?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Previous articles reviewed the land use application submission and presentation process; this article will review what is required to be performed after an approval is obtained. The memorialized approval is placed in written form called a Resolution.

Part of the Resolution outlines the Condition of Approval, which acts as a checklist of the items that must be submitted to zoning and engineering prior to obtaining construction permits. Satisfying those conditions is called Resolution Compliance.

Once an applicant receives the Resolution of approval, the first requirement is to prepare and publish a Notice of Decision. This provides a general notice in the official newspaper as to the details of the approval received. Proof of this publication must be provided to the board secretary.

Contained within the Resolution may also be requirements for various legal documents. Examples of these documents are: Lot Consolidation Deeds, which consolidate various lots owned by the applicant under one lot number; Cross-Access Agreements, which will allow neighboring businesses or residents to utilize a common driveway or parking area; and Easements, which earmark certain portions of the property for access by other agencies to maintain or service utility structures or equipment which may be on the property, or may identify portions of the property that are to be undeveloped to preserve the environment or ensure visibility at an intersection.

Of course, this is not a comprehensive list, and what is required depends on the specific reliefs granted in the applicant’s approval. What is consistent throughout the process is that these are legal doc-

uments requiring the attachment of legal descriptions and reduced Marc S. Galella Esq. plans, requiring review and approval of the Board professionals and, in some cases, the documents must be recorded with the County Clerk. Certainly, the preparation of these documents is best performed by a qualified land use attorney.

Additionally, the Resolution may require plan revisions, payment of additional fees and escrows and approvals from outside agencies. Those agencies may be other local agencies, such as local sewerage, utility and municipal authorities; County agencies, such as Planning Board and Soil Conservation; and/or state agencies, such as NJDOT and NJDEP. Again, each applicant requires a combination of varying approvals. This office can coordinate the receipt of those approvals and prepare a final submission to the local land use board to successfully complete Resolution Compliance. Receiving Resolution Compliance approval will then allow the applicant to construct their proposed project.

As can be seen from the information above, the perfection of a land use application approval before a Land Use Board requires an understanding of the MLUL and legal experience. The attorneys at the Law Office of R.C. Shea and Associates can assist to make this process stress free.

Look for future articles on the Land Use Process which will review the components of a resolution and the post-approval compliance procedures.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Aggregate:

Continued From Page 1

Gable Associates as consultant, those three townships entered into an aggregation agreement back in 2013. The market this year allowed for that aggregate to finally bid out to third-party electricity suppliers.

The energy aggregation agreement would have allowed electric customers to save 10 percent or better on their electric bills through a third-party supplier. That savings must be honored through the length of the contract, usually 14 to 24 months, and always be lower than the primary electric company’s rates. Residents on budget billing would remain in that program, subject to the usual rules, and those receiving government assistance would continue to do so.

When that contract expires, Chilton said, bids would be solicited again. Customers would have still received their bills through Jersey Central Power & Light, and would still call them for any outages or other emergencies.

And if a lower price than JCP&L’s isn’t reached at the preferred 10 percent mark, then no contract need be awarded, Robert Chilton of Gable Associates said back in April. Most of Council approved the plan, with Councilman Charles Frattini Sr. against it, citing that businesses can opt-in while the burden is on residents to opt-out of such

programs. The Government Energy Aggregation Act of 2003 governs that process.

Gable Associates, Highland Park, has been in business s since 1993. According to the company website, they have helped procure electricity and natural gas for the likes of “the State of New Jersey, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the New Jersey Sports and Exhibition Authority, the New Jersey Devils, over 400 school districts throughout New Jersey, numerous sewerage authorities and a wide range of industrial and commercial customers.”

“We had some recommendations from the state. They said we should have a clause in there that if the rate changes below 10 percent, that we should be able to protect our people, and that’s why we voted the way we did, because there was no protection for the Manchester resident if those situations occur. We said no to going into the aggregate,” Council President James Vaccaro told The Manchester Times.

He continued: “We’re going to continue to look into energy aggregation, see what the marketplace is, and what is best for Manchester and best for our residents. We will never engage an aggregator or go into a contract that’s not good for Manchester or good for our residents. That’s the only reason we backed out of [the aggregate], because we felt we could not protect our residents in the way the contract was being drawn.”

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Carmona ~ Bolen Home for Funerals, LLC

My Helpful Remedies Dear Readers, Although most of the column is usually dedicated to advice, sometimes I run across material that I think is worth sharing. I loved the following helpful remedies.

Burned Fingertips: Should you accidentally get a minor burn on your fingertips, simply hold your fingertip to your ear lobe. Place your thumb on the back of your ear and the burned fingertip on the front. It is supposed to work like magic.

Motion Sickness: With all the travel plans coming up some people are bound to suffer episodes of motion sickness. This may sound nutty but try this: Pull out the skin in the middle of your inner wrist about one inch from

you r pal m.

Keep pulling and pinching wh i le a lt e rnating wrists. You will be amazed at the results.

Tension Headaches: Tense all the muscles in your face and neck, jaw, scalp and shoulders.

Hold that “pose” for about 30 seconds.

Then, suddenly relax completely, letting go of all the tension, and your headache will be gone along with it.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Details, Details: The Little Secrets Of Cooking Skillet-Fried Chicken

By Wolfgang Puck

In so many areas of life, you have probably heard some version of the saying that “little things can make a big difference.”

That is certainly true in good cooking.

You’d be surprised by the number of times guests in my restaurants ask me why a dish tastes so good. They ask, “What’s your secret?”

Much of the time, the secrets amount to nothing more than paying attention to small details over and over throughout a recipe. And if you learn what those small details are yourself, and start caring about them in your own kitchen, your friends and family will rightly think you’re an excellent cook.

You can see the results in even the simplest, most home-style recipes. And I’d like to offer you a perfect example in a version of a traditional summertime and year-round favorite: skillet-fried chicken.

From start to finish, little things in this recipe add up to delicious results.

Let’s start with the ingredients themselves. I like to use free-range organic chicken, which may cost a bit more but will taste so much better. Most good supermarket meat departments will cut up a whole chicken into serving pieces for you, or you can buy precut pieces in whatever combination of dark and white meat you prefer.

Next, I season the pieces with salt and pepper and marinate them in buttermilk.

The slightly acidic milk helps tenderize the meat and makes it juicier, while the simple act of seasoning first keeps the finished results from tasting bland.

Speaking of seasonings, I also add them generously to the flour I use to coat the chicken, creating a really eye-opening flavor profile. A little rice flour added to the regular flour helps yield a crispier coating.

Successful frying depends on maintaining a hot, steady temperature. That ensures the chicken browns up well, without turning greasy, in the same time it takes for the meat to cook through. I also add a sprig of rosemary to the oil during cooking, which contributes a delicious aroma.

And then there’s one last secret. The moment frying is done, I heat up a little honey with a touch of cayenne and drizzle it over the chicken on the serving platter.

That adds a wonderful touch of sweet-hot flavor to every bite. I also offer lemon wedges for guests who want some “zestiness” in their own portions.

All these little “secrets” seem ordinary on their own. But put them all together and you get extraordinary results. Whether you serve the chicken hot from the skillet or pack it cold for a summertime picnic, everyone who eats it will declare you a genius in the kitchen.

CRISPY SKILLET-FRIED CHICKEN WITH A SPICY HONEY DRIZZLE Serves 4 1 whole organic chicken, 3 to 3 1/4 pounds (about 1.5 kg), cut into 8 large pieces for frying Kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning the chicken 3 cups (750 mL) buttermilk Peanut oil for frying 1 3/4 cups (460 mL) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (125 mL) rice flour 1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon more for glaze 1 teaspoon ground sweet or hot paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon celery salt 2 or 3 sprigs fresh rosemary 1 or 2 lemons, cut into wedges 1/4 cup (60 mL) honey First, marinate the chicken: Place the chicken pieces on a baking sheet. Season on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Pour the buttermilk into a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken, cover the bowl, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, turning occasionally.

Before frying, pour enough peanut oil to reach a depth of 1 inch (2.5 cm) in a heavy large skillet, preferably cast-iron. Heat the oil to 350 to 365 F. (175 C to 185 C) on a deep-frying thermometer.

In a large sealable plastic bag, combine the flour, rice flour, white pepper, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder and celery salt.

Close the bag and shake to blend. Remove 2 pieces of chicken from the buttermilk, place them in the bag, close the bag, and shake to coat them evenly. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pieces.

Carefully add the chicken, skin side down, to the hot oil in the skillet. Fry until deep brown and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes per side depending on size, adjusting the heat to maintain the frying temperature; add the rosemary sprig to the oil, if you like. (A chicken piece will be cooked through if, after removing it from the oil, it registers 165 F/74 C on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat not touching bone.) Using tongs, transfer the cooked chicken to a rack.

Arrange the cooked chicken pieces on a napkin-lined platter. Place the lemon wedges around the chicken. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey.

Stir in the extra cayenne to taste. Drizzle the honey over the chicken. Serve immediately.
