2017’s News In Photos Looking back on this year’s journalism, there were dozens of photographs that I thought needed to be commended for their creativity, artistic quality, and ability to tell a story. All of them accompanied a news article, but not all of them have been published. Here’s a year-end showcase of our best photography.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Remember The Golden Rule The golden r ule/the law of equal return is to treat every human being as you would want to be treated, because what good a nd what ha r m you measure to every hu man bei ng will be measured back to you by the creator over all you r lifetimes in the human condition.

The golden r ule/the law of equal return as p r o p e rly u nd e r s t o o d in the Ser mon on the Mount is the only un-

derstanding that keeps one human being from inf licting harm or death upon any human being.

The admonition to turn the other cheek and to love one’s enemies can only be realistically understood in this context.

It is the law of equal return that is the motivation to live the golden rule and to put an end to v iolence i n hu ma n society.

Letters To The Editor DACA Should Not Be Made Legal There are an estimated 800,000 who entered this country illegally with their parents over many years and were delayed deportation by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) executive order. Contrary to what Rep. MacArthur writes, here is why they can never be permitted legal residence: First, they would all qualify for diversity preference for college, job, contract applications and benefits at every level of government. In short, they move to the head of the line.

Second, according to a recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, aside from being massive users of public services for which they pay little or no taxes, 75 percent respond that government should do “more” for them.

Third, as citizens, they would vote to impose their demands on the rest of society.

Fourth, they would likely sponsor family members, including their own parents, for citizenship (“chain migration”) with the same consequences as above.

Fifth, it would set an example for others to enter the country illegally.

Sixth, several advocacy groups formed by DACANs have been agitating loudly for their “rights” even though they have no legal status in this country. If granted citizenship or any form of legal status, they will hammer the courts with endless demands to expand their benefits and privileges.

That’s what happened after the 1986 amnesty which, by the way, was estimated to cover 1 million illegals and wound up being 4 million.

There are currently 35 million of Mexican ancestry who claim US citizenship – 11% of the population. The vast majority didn’t come through Ellis Island. They outnumber citizens who claim Italian or Irish ancestry. 76% of DACANs are Mexican citizens, 90% Latino. Their home countries did nothing to prevent them from coming. In fact, at one time Mexico actually printed instructions.

If you like having your citizenship and patrimony marginalized, just let the politicians give it away for you.

Kneeling During Anthem

I was a Marine at Chu Lai on guard duty at a low risk bunker post on the perimeter facing the South China Sea. Viet Cong that did not have weapons and carried explosive charges to blow up targets were getting on base that week.

It was about 12:30 a.m. and about 100 feet behind the bunker on the base, shirtless Charlie stepped out of the woods carrying a weapon but not pointing it in our direction.

I swung the M-60 machine gun around and yelled “Halt.” At that point Charlie took a few quick steps and jumped into a depression.

I was just about to pull the trigger when I heard English and a white cloth come up.

I called for him to come forward and Charlie turned out to be an Army soldier who was drunk.

The soldier was only in Vietnam a week and was going to an indoctrination course at a unit near the guard post.

The point I want to drive home is I was in a combat zone, there was a threat with a person having a semi-automatic weapon posing as VC but was not shot because of circumstances. Yet black people who are unarmed are being killed.

Colin Kaepernick is the Rosa Parks of today calling attention to this situation that must be addressed. It’s not fair to the black people in those circumstances or to the overwhelming majority of police officers who handle all kinds of situations with a great deal of professionalism unlike some of these shootings.

Remove Sex Offenders From Power The faucet on bad sexual behavior has been turned on and the names keep pouring out.

Congressmen, actors, newsmen and business tycoons, have all been named by women who suffered under the sexual fantasies of men in power. Many

20 or 25 years ago, yet these women who are now declaring the abuse they suffered have been under this cloud of exploitation for all these years. Finally, the yoke of fear and retaliation has been removed, and they are able to speak out and name their molesters.

Promises of stardom, becoming a political insider, or possibly even breaking the “glass ceiling” were for these predators the “Coin of the Realm.” The sexual fantasies they wanted satisfied were coerced with promises that were never meant to be kept.

At present, as these deviants are being pointed out for their untoward behavior, the common thread of excuses offered is “I had no idea any wrong doing was being committed, it was a natural evolvement of mutual feelings.”

It would strain the imagination for us to think to that some of these characters are the epitome of handsome virility that would throw women into spasms of ecstasy. It was the promise of “I’ll take care of you.” That was the impetus for going along. It was only after the fact that they believed in the old adage: “Power corrupts, absolute power absolutely corrupts.” These women who willingly accepted the words of predators found, to their dismay, that they were anything but straightforward, but rather were liars and cheaters.

As of now, the predators are in retreat, hiding under the cloak of attorneys and public relations firms and pronouncing in loud voices their “mea culpas.” Let us not forget how these lecherous jackals used women’s hopes and dreams as a wedge to use their bodies in ways to satisfy their lustful, ugly fantasies. We, as a society, should ostracize these vermin from all positions of power; in business, politics, the arts and anywhere else they may emerge. They should be treated as “persona non grata.” In any of their future plans, women should be kept far from their sphere of influence.

Charles L. Frattini, Sr. Manchester Councilman

A State Decision

Representative Tom MacArthur is a co-sponsor of HR38 which is an effort by the Federal Government to make concealed carry of guns legal in all fifty states. I write in opposition to this bill because as a citizen of New Jersey I feel that this should be a states right issue to decide.

We are a small, demographically overpopulated corridor state. If a person wishes to carry a gun into New Jersey they can apply and be granted a document giving them this right by the State of New Jersey. If people who own guns are unaware that our state requires this document it is incumbent upon them to make themselves aware of the laws pertaining to the state.

If it is inconvenient for a gun owner to avail themselves of this document I am sorry, but many laws are inconvenient but are recognized as a a health and safety measure for residents. The second amendment guarantees the ability to own guns, and at the same time specifies that all other rights are that are not articulated must be left to the states.

What other states’ rules are do not and should not usurp our right to make conditions and terms that protect our citizens.

Preserve Loan Forgiveness Program The PROSPER Act that is currently in committee in the House of Representatives eliminates the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program that encourages talented people to become educators, firefighters, nurses, public defenders, and pursue other forms of public service where pay tends to be lower than the private sector.

I am someone who is working in a public school with the understanding that student loan forgiveness will benefit me as I work to benefit the public.

How is it that the Republicans can find ways to cut the taxes of millionaires, but are willing to hurt people like myself who are trying to benefit society?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is not Making America Great.

Senator Jim Holzapfel Assemblyman David Wolfe • Assemblyman Gregory McGuckin

NEW JERSEY – A Superstorm Sandy-related bill to permit a short-term tax exemption for improvements to certain homes damaged by natural disasters received the unanimous approval of the New Jersey Senate at a recent voting session.

The sponsors, Senator James Holzapfel and Assemblymen Dave Wolfe and Greg McGuckin (R-10 th),

Senator Jim Holzapfel

Assemblyman David Wolfe

Bill Would Allow Sandy Tax Exemptions

introduced the bill to ensure that property taxpayers aren’t penalized for increased value that may arise from raising their homes.

“Residents had no choice but to rebuild following Superstorm Sandy,” said Holzapfel. “They shouldn’t be penalized with higher property taxes for necessary improvements that will offer protection from future

storms.”

The bill, S-3016, would amend the “Five-year Exemption and Abatement Law” to permit a municipality to adopt an ordinance providing a property tax exemption or abatement for a period of five years to homes in an area that has been damaged by a natural disaster.

Under the legislation, any additional value that’s attrib-

utable to the creation of new space under a house due to the home being lifted shall not be taxable for a period of five years.

“In some cases, enhancements such as home elevation are required by insurance companies to prevent damage from a future natural disaster,” added Assemblyman Wolfe.

“We’re working to ensure

that assessments stay the same following such necessary improvements, unless a home is rebuilt larger.”

Starting with the 2015/16 tax year, owners that rebuild or repair Hurricane Sandy damage may qualify for an adjustment to their property values. The legislation caps how much a property’s assessed value can be increased due to improvements

Bills Would Allow Disaster Funds For Residents And Houses Of Worship From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith NEW JERSEY – A provision to give houses of worship access to critical federal disaster relief, and another provision allowing disaster victims to be eligible for both federal grants and federal loans for disaster assistance, were passed recently by the House as part of the third supplemental disaster relief bill. Both provisions reflect legislation originally authored

by Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.

“After Superstorm Sandy, I and others saw how leaders and volunteers at churches, synagogues, and other religious centers help feed, clothe, and shelter tens of thousands of victims—yet they were left out and left behind when it came to repairs of their own facilities,” said Smith, the author of the original bill —the Federal Disaster Assistance Nonprofit Fairness Act—to

Assemblyman Gregory McGuckin

provide equity and fairness to churches and synagogues damaged in federal disasters on the House floor.

“I want to thank the chairman for including provisions from my legislation in this larger package to help ensure that houses of worship, churches, and synagogues get the kind of help they need on an equal basis, with other non-profits,” Smith said.

The supplemental bill also includes language that does away with the “duplication of benefits” penalty clause that penalized many NJ Sandy victims who acted quickly and responsibly after the storm only to learn that if you apply for a federal loan (which is normally available first) you will be boxed out of applying for federal grants, which are normally made available much later in the recovery process.

“Imagine this,” Smith said

during the debate on the House floor “men and women who were victimized by Sandy or any other storm, they go to FEMA, they’re admonished to take out a loan—SBA loan— then a little later in the recovery time, they’re told that there is a HUD grant available, but they are precluded from applying for a grant because they pursued the loan—at the behest of the federal government. They can’t even get the grant to pay off the loan.”

To help correct this unfairness, Smith has authored the Equity for Disaster Victims Act of 2017, which allowed for recipients of the Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loans to repay the principal and interest on those loans with federal grants. The provision in the new bill allows people to apply for both a loan and a grant so long as the assistance is used for the purposes of recovery in a declared disaster.

Smith introduced the Federal Disaster Assistance Nonprofit Fairness Act in 2013 in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, which caused $70 billion in destruction to the northeast including serious damage to

churches, synagogues and mosques. Those houses of worship and other religious organizations and centers could not receive federal disaster relief that they could have used to rebuild, because of their religious status—a policy that has no basis in law.

That bill passed the House with overwhelming support in 2013, but was ultimately held up in the Senate. Smith re-introduced the bill in 2015 and again in 2017.

This past fall, after the hurricane season inflicted severe damage along the Gulf Coast,

Smith led a letter by members of Congress to the Administration asking for a change to the policy to allow for religious groups and churches to receive disaster relief. In November, the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Mick Mulvaney asked House Speaker Paul Ryan to include this policy change in a supplemental disaster relief bill that the Administration was requesting. The supplemental bill was passed by the House on Thursday. Read Smith’s letter here.

made to fix a home that was damaged in the storm.

“Even with numerous grant programs available, residents have had to reach into their own pockets, spending tens of thousands of dollars to get back into their homes,” added McGuckin.

“The FEMA policy was— and is—unfair, unjustified, and discriminatory,” Smith said.

The bill which incorporates these two provisions is now pending in the Senate.

By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – The Planning Board approved the town’s 2017 Open Space and Recreation Plan, which would include more than 6,000 acres of open space being in the Heritage Minerals tract.

Daniel Bloch, assistant project manager for Maser Consulting, which works for the township, presented the plan at a recent meeting. The Open Space and Recreation Plan was supposed to be updated every 10 years, he said. It was last updated in 2003, so the township was overdue for an update.

The Department of Environmental Protection said that the township would be at risk of losing Green Acres funding if it didn’t update the plan by the end of the year.

The plan involved an inventory of open space and noting changes that have come about since 2003, he said, explaining that not a lot has changed since then in the township.

Environmental regulations have changed in those 14 years, however. Well head protection areas and open water recharge areas, created to protect drinking water, are new additions, he said.

In 2003, it was proposed that an abandoned railway would be used for a bike path. That bike path never got made. Instead, the rail-

way was re-opened for freight transportation, he said.

With a population of 43,000, one task was determining how much open space the township needs. Currently, 40 percent of the township is already protected in some way, the plan read.

The goal is the preservation of 10,000 additional acres of open space, according to the plan. The entire Heritage Minerals tract is 7,300 acres. Of this, about 995 is developable. This leaves more than 6,000 acres left for open space.

The developer of Heritage wanted to expand the development, and reduce the open space, but is getting resistance from the state and township, he added.

During the public portion of the meeting, Peggy Middaugh, a member of the town’s Environmental Commission, said she was disappointed more people didn’t come out.

She said the meeting was not well publicized.

She also suggested the township create a map of open space for residents, and include a dog park in their future plans.

The 210-page report is on the township’s website at manchestertwp.com/, under the heading “important information.”

Police Want Anti-Drug Program To Be Nationwide

By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – The program #NotEvenOnce, where police help high school students understand the dangers of opiates, is growing throughout the state and might go farther than that, Chief Lisa Parker said.

Police have gone beyond just enforcing drug laws and imprisoning dealers, she explained to the public at a recent Board of Education meeting. Education is needed to keep the students from following down that path.

The program is done for the 12th graders here, but it has been written as curriculum that can be scaled to as low as 9th grade, she said. They have trained more than 400 officers throughout the state on how to implement this program in their own towns.

“My goal is to take it out of the state as well,” she said.

The curriculum meets the state standards for education to help pitch it to other classes. The program consists of three, 90-minute health programs, she said. In one session, they watch a jailhouse interview with a Manchester graduate who became an addict. It tells the story of how an 11th grade football injury led to an addiction.

On the third day, they meet a recovery coach,

who is also a former addict. At this point, the teacher and police leave the students alone with the coach, Parker said. This is done to allow the students to discuss personal things without an authority figure around.

“There isn’t a class where someone isn’t affected by opiates,” she said.

The police also make sure they approach students in civilian attire, to reduce the amount of “the cops are here” panic.

During her presentation to the Board of Education, Parker noted that it has been about a year since the loss of Adam Lowe, a local man who died of an overdose. His mother, Shelly Lowe, agreed to be interviewed for a video titled “Through the Eyes of a Mother,” that tells the tragic story. The video is shown to students as part of the program. The mother had told Parker that she wished this kind of addiction education had been around when her son needed it. The video can be found at manchesterpolicenj.com/ not-even-once.

“The team has put endless hours into it,” she said. “They believe in the program and love the kids.”

She thanked the board and the administration for being a partner in the success of the program.

MANCHESTER – As the year comes to a close, The Manchester Township Police Department would like to highlight some of the outstanding work of our officers.

Ptl. Kyle Rickvalsky, a four year veteran of our department, was recently awarded the Chief ’s Award for demonstrating a standard, both on and off duty, which is representative of the core values of our agency.

Chief Lisa Parker wants all officers to leave people better off because they were there. Ptl. Rickvalsky has exemplified this from the beginning of his career in many ways, and is being recognized for developing, organizing and overseeing several off-duty charity events. He was not assigned these tasks or duties, nor was he asked to host any charity events. Ptl. Rickvalsky has shown an intrinsic commitment to volunteering his time for the benefit of others.

In November of 2015, Ptl. Rickvalsky organized a state wide first responder flag football tournament that was held at the Manchester Township High School.

Law Enforcement Officers and Fireman participated in the event which raised $1,782.37 to cover the sponsorship fee for Tracy Thompson to ride in the Police Unity Tour honoring her late husband, Cpl. Scott Thompson.

In August of 2016, Ptl. Rickvalsky organized a second First Responder Flag Football Tournament. This benefit raised $1,551.55 which was donated to the Children’s Specialized Hospital of Toms River.

In September of this year, Ptl. Rickvalsky organized a third Football Tournament which raised $3,000. The money was again donated to the Children’s Specialized Hospital of Toms River where it covered the cost of the hospital’s Thanksgiving dinner for the children and their families, among other costs.

Between 2015 and this year, Patrolman Rickvalsky has also organized our departments participation in the New York Giants “Snowbowl”, a flag football tournament which all benefits raised support Special Olympics.

Stay Safe This Holiday Season: Don’t Drink And Drive

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Tis the season for celebration! With all of the New Year’s Eve celebrations coming up fast, it is always important to remember to celebrate responsibly! The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) reminds everyone not to drink and drive, especially during this holiday season.

It is never safe to drink and drive, but it is important to emphasize this during the time of year characterized by holiday festivities and gatherings. According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, two to three times more people die in alcohol-related crashes during Christmas and New Year’s than any other time of the year.

“The statistics really are sobering. Almost 30 people in the United States die every day

in motor vehicle accidents involving an alcohol-impaired driver,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little.

Keep these statistics in mind as you enjoy yourself at holiday parties this season. If you drink, don’t get behind the wheel.

Daniel E. Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator, provides these tips for holiday party-goers to stay safe: Plan ahead by appointing a designated driver or putting a local taxi service’s number in your phone if needed.

Stop anyone who has been drinking from driving.

Do not get in the car with someone who has been drinking.

Call 911 if you see a drunk driver.

Stay the night or offer up a place to sleep for your party guests who have been drinking.

Regenye also advises that everyone “put the phone away before you get behind the wheel and stay safe and sound while driving this holiday season.”

Happy New Year!

8 Resolutions That Matter

From getting healthier, saving money, and living life to the fullest to embracing technology, exploring new places, and letting loved ones pitch in, we’re taking New Year’s resolutions to the next level with eight ideas to support your hearing health and quality of life.

Here’s to making 2018 the best year yet!

Getting Fit It’s no secret that obesity can raise the risk for stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and other serious health problems, but did you know it’s linked to hearing impairment, healthyhearing.com/report/50949-Obesity-and-hearing-loss too? Resolving to get even healthier and more fit in 2018 helps reduce the risk of excess weight, a problem that can tax your hearing and impact overall wellness.

Ditching Tobacco Smoking, the No. 1 preventable cause of death in the U.S. and the culprit behind most lung cancer cases, can also increase the chances of developing a hearing impairment sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/ S0091743504002816?via%3Dihub.

Resolving to quit smoking and live tobacco-free puts you ahead of the pack for your hearing, your lungs, your heart, and your general good health.

Embracing Technology Today’s tech can turn any alerting sound into a visual or vibratory cue, allowing doorbells, smoke alarms, and more to alert using flashing lights or vibrations. Smartphones can stream audio directly to hearing aids and may also caption videos or flash visual alerts for incoming calls. Another innovation: We even have hearing technology compatible with telehealth care.

Trying Something New Trouble hearing telephone conversations? You may qualify for a captioning telephone, a landline phone that shows the spoken words of the person you’re talking to. It’s free if a qualified hear-

Letting Friends Pitch In When it comes to getting by with a little help from friends, the Beatles had it right. Bringing your best friend or another companion to your hearing care appointments means an extra set of ears and eyes, as well as an additional perspective that can make a difference in understanding how listening difficulties affect you and your loved ones and matching the right solutions to your needs.

Maximizing Your Income Don’t let hearing difficulties come between you and your money. Untreated hearing impairment can reduce annual household earnings by as much as $30,000, according to one study, nvrc. org/2011/03/bhi-people-with-untreated-hearing-loss-lose-income-annually/ but using hearing aids can curb the chance of income loss by up to 100 percent — depending on the degree of impairment.

Living Life to the Fullest Hearing technology changes lives.

A majority of hearing aid users in one study by the National Council on Aging ncoa.org/wp-content/uploads/NCOAStudy-1999.pdf credited treatment for better relationships at home, and half or nearly half reported improvement in feelings about themselves and improvement in life overall. Just another reminder of how keeping you’re hearing at its best can help you live your best.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Cheese Genes, Video Addiction And Missing Toenails, Oh My!

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. WHO to Officially Recognize Video Gaming Disorder as a Mental Health Problem Gaming is an official disease, and classified as a mental health disorder. The symptoms include anxiety, withdrawal symptoms and anti-social behavior as well as the obvious, becoming non-productive! This disorder will surely generate a lot of money for companies who can “treat” the condition, which by the way, impacts the same parts of your brain as alcohol, porn, gambling and shopping.

Eating Cheese Every Day May Protect Your Heart I’m not sure why, but this headline cracked me up! If there’s a cheese gene, I have it because I love cheese. If you’re a cheese lover, this will give you a new excuse to make Baked Brie with Blackberry Compote.

Mmm! Researchers suggest that eating about an ounce and a half of cheese every day could help to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke! It isn’t going to “protect your heart” in my opinion, it’s loaded with casein and saturated fats, but I’ll still mentally award an A plus to the researchers for making me drool. FYI, if you have MAO genetic SNPs (or take MAO inhibitor drugs), avoid cheese due to the tyramine content, it can provoke a headache or worse!

Do Hair Dyes Increase the Risk of Prostate Cancer?

In the study I read, the answer isn’t a clear yes or no regarding prostate cancer.

This type of headline is not a new one.

Researchers have been trying to clearly define the risks of certain chemicals in hair

dye, and find out which colors are most toxic. Certain compounds called “aromatic amines” are found in high concentrations in hair dyes and we know they do trigger cancer growth in lab animals, however, it’s not as clear with humans. Though several population based studies do suggest higher rates of leukemia, non-Hodgkins lymphoma or multiple myeloma in women who use hair dyes, the highest risk is actually seen in hairdressers who experience more bladder and blood-related cancers (like those listed above) but remember, they work with these chemicals all day long so exposure is high.

Low Thyroid Levels Affect A Woman’s Fertility Agreed, this very topic was covered in one of my books in 2010, seven years ago!

It just made headlines in 2017. Low thyroid can definitely contribute to infertility, miscarriage and premature births. It’s easy to test for and repair.

Weird Health Benefits of Stress It’s true that a little stress can temporarily improve your mental sharpness, but chronic stress can deplete your adrenals so I’d say it’s best to minimize your stress levels as much as you can. Stressful situations increase bonding with friends, relatives and your spouse. That’s why if you’re stuck in an airport overnight, you might make new friends after sharing the experience. The reason is short term stress boosts oxytocin, a bonding hormone. Further, people are forced to rescue you, if not physically then emotionally. The trouble with this is some people thrive on stress in their life because it victimizes them, provoking others to give them attention and affection. It can even become the glue in an otherwise bad marriage.

Top Stories:

Continued From Page 1 Controversial Gas Pipeline The Pinelands Commission approved the Southern Reliability Link in September.

This is a gas line that would join up at a source in Chesterfield and head through various towns for 30 miles. It would end in Manchester. Environmentalists protested about how dangerous and unnecessary

they said the pipeline would be. They also believed it would lead to more development in the area, and that the claim of it being for reliability was false.

Those in favor of the pipeline said it would provide another source of gas for the area (reliability), and would be necessary in case of a disaster or incident that damaged the existing pipeline.

Walmart Gave Up On New Store Walmart officials said in an emailed state-

ment that “after consideration of several business factors, we have made the difficult decision not to move forward with building another Walmart store in Toms River.”

The property borders Toms River and Manchester, so both towns had to sign off on it. The plan was originally heard in 2004.

Jaylin Holdings, the name of the developing company formed by Jay and Linda Grunin, originally proposed a main store of 203,091 square feet, with a 19,884 square-

foot garden center and 1,049 parking spaces.

In 2010, the plan was scaled down to 189,797 square feet of retail space, a 5,703 squarefoot garden center and 833 parking spaces.

Seen as a victory by environmentalists, due to the impact it would have on nearby habitats, officials from both towns would have welcomed the added tax ratable.

Heritage Pitch The owner of the Heritage Minerals tract, Hovsons, Inc., met with Manchester officials in August with a plan for more homes on the former mining site. The settlement more than a decade ago was for 2,200 homes. They wanted more in this recent round, but the township’s officials said no to that plan.

Opioid Epidemic Heroin, often mixed with fentanyl, has become an epidemic in Ocean County.

Hundreds of people have died of overdoses, and hundreds more have had their lives saved by Narcan sprays administered by first responders.

Local police have combatted the problem by increasing drug education in schools and cracking down even harder on dealers.

They are also differentiating between the crimes of dealing drugs and possessing drugs. Those who are caught up in addiction are being given another chance by coming into certain police departments and being evaluated for free rehab. They turn in all their drugs and they don’t face any charges under the Blue HART (Heroin Addiction Recovery Treatment) program. Brick, Manchester, Stafford, Lacey, and Ocean Gate are now part of this program.

The root cause to the epidemic is addiction to prescription painkillers, police said.

That’s why there are places to drop off unused medications for the police to burn and keep it out of the hands of addicts. Also, Toms River, Brick and Lacey have joined a lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies to recoup costs from dealing with this epidemic, and to force those companies to change the way they market their medicines to everyone.

Performing Arts Academy A new Performing Arts Academy building for the Ocean County Vocational-Technical School was announced. Currently, the Performing Arts Academy is housed in Hangar 1 of the Joint Base-McGuire/ Dix/Lakehurst. Its lease will be expiring soon. Additionally, with added security regulations, parents and staff have said that location is not as convenient as it once was.

Students will select from four majors: theater, vocal, dance and audio engineering.

This would be in addition to its academic curriculum. The 60,000-square-foot building is expected to open in 2019. It will be located on the campus of Ocean County College. The goal is to create a continuity of education, so that OCC classes can be taught to high school students. The high school and the college students would be able to share facilities, although not at the same time.

The Ocean County Freeholders created a $27 million bond to pay for the school.

They committed $8 million of its total cost.

The state of New Jersey will be paying 40 percent of the project, or $10.6 million.

The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation has pledged $8 million.

Cops: Assisted Living Worker Stole

By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – An employee at an assisted living facility was charged with stealing money and jewelry from residents, police said.

Tina Sloan, 48, of Manchester was arrested and charged with multiple counts of theft.

The three-month investigation began on Sept. 25, police said, after they responded to a theft at The Haven at Silverwoods on Route 37. Officers took reports from residents who stated that money and jewelry had been stolen from their apartments.

Detective David Fusaro researched the stolen items at pawn shops, finding sales that matched the description of the jewelry stolen.

This created a suspect list, which was cross

referenced with a list of employees at The Haven at Silverwoods.

It was determined that Sloan had completed 59 pawn transactions during 2017 and had sold more than 100 pieces of jewelry. Fusaro then met with each resident of the facility to try to identify any additional stolen items or victims who had not yet come forward. As it turns out, this yielded several more victims.

Given the nature of the crimes, it is believed that there might be more victims who have not yet been identified. Anyone who resided in The Haven at Silverwoods during 2017, who believes they might have had items stolen, is urged to contact Detective Fusaro at 732-6572009 ext. 4208.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Happy New Year!

By Michael Deem Esq, of R.C. Shea and Associates

In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself.

Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment.

When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy.

We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy.

The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets.

We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured.

The Standard Policy does provide medical

expense benefits (PIP) Michael J. Deem coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses.

When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.”

We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.”

By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing.

Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets.

Ocpo Continues Record Breaking Pill Burns

TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office disposed of 4,520 pounds of unused medications at a pill burn on Dec. 14, police said.

This breaks the previous record of 4,520 pounds, Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato said in a press release. Since the program’s start in the summer of 2014, 31,360 pounds of various medicines have

been destroyed between October 3, 2014 and December 14, 2017. Below is the list of burn dates and totals: October 3, 2014 - 2220 lbs.

March 27, 2015 - 2880 lbs.

July 17, 2015 - 2520 lbs.

October 29, 2015 - 2300 lbs.

December 2, 2015 - 1040 lbs.

April 13, 2016 - 2380 lbs.

July 20, 2016 - 2960 lbs.

October 26, 2016 - 2800 lbs March 1, 2017 - 3280 lbs August 3, 2017 - 4,460 lbs December 14, 2017 - 4,420 lbs Project Medicine Drop is the countywide initiative to make disposal of unused medications an easy convenient priority for Ocean County residents. With

just under half of the municipalities in Ocean County having easily accessible medication drop boxes at police department entrances, there is no excuse not to clean out and drop off these potentially dangerous meds.

erkel cell carcinoma is also called neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. It tends to grow fast and to spread quickly to other parts of your body.

SYMPTOMS

The first sign of Merkel cell carcinoma is a fastgrowing, painless red, blue or purple nodule on your skin, most commonly seen on the face, scalp or neck.

WHEN TO SEE A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER

If you notice a mole, freckle or bump that is changing in size, shape or color, growing rapidly, or bleeding easily after minor trauma, such as washing your skin or shaving, make an appointment with your healthcare provider.

RISK FACTORS Factors that may increase risk of Merkel cell carcinoma include:

Beautiful Skin at Any Age Medical Dermatology (Pediatric & Adult): • Abnormal Moles Comprehensive Skin Cancer • Pre-cancer Growths • Skin Cancer Screenings Available - Call Today!

• Pimples • Scars • Viral & Fungal Infections • Itchy Flaky Scalp/Face • Eczema • Cracked Lips & Dry Skin • Itching, Sunburns & Blisters • Diaper Rash & Allergic Reactions • Rosacea • Skin Tags • Benign Growths...and and many others!

Renata Flaks, DNP 707 Main Street • Toms River 732-244-2666 www.qualityderm.com Open Monday - Friday

QUALITY DERMATOLOGY Accepting Most Insurance Plans Accepting New Patients Same Day Emergency Appointments

• Excessive exposure to sun or tanning beds.

• A weakened immune system including those with HIV infection, those taking drugs that suppress the immune response or those with chronic leukemia.

• History of other skin cancers such as basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma.

• Increasing age. This cancer is most common in people older than age 50, though it can occur at any age.

• Light skin color. Merkel cell carcinoma usually arises in people who have light-colored skin.

COMPLICATIONS

Even with treatment, Merkel cell carcinoma commonly spreads (metastasizes) beyond the skin. Merkel cell carcinoma tends to travel first to nearby lymph nodes. Later it may spread to your brain, bones, liver or lungs, where it can interfere with the functioning of these organs. Cancer that has metastasized is more dicult to treat and can be fatal.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of december 30 - january 5

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Ho-ho-home is where the heart is. Surround yourself with those whom you care about the most and enjoy the warmth of the holiday season together. There may be little to be gained from last minute shopping expeditions.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Remember to leave out the milk and cookies. The object of your affection will be sure to leave extravagant goodies in your stocking and show you how much they care. Romance may blossom to a new level tonight.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make sure the sleigh runs on schedule. Conflicting social obligations may create a brief period of turmoil, so you may need to set priorities to keep things running smoothly. Those around you make look to you for guidance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be a Scrooge ... after he was visited by the three ghosts, that is.

You’ll find no greater satisfaction than giving to others and spreading good cheer. Remember that the cost of a gift is irrelevant as it is the thought that counts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Peace on earth, goodwill to man. Imbibing a little too much holiday spirit could cause some tempers to flare but you are the one who can diffuse things by spreading a little joy. Drive home the lesson that the best things in life are free.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Santa would get nowhere without his elves working behind the scenes. Take charge as it will be your planning and attention to detail that will make holiday festivities successful. Go out of your way to create a little magic.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Over the river and through the woods. Holiday outings could be a memorable source of adventure and fun. Joy and merriment will be contagious, and you won’t have to work very hard to create a festive atmosphere.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stick with the program. The hectic nature of the holidays may have everyone pulling in separate directions, so you may need to be the voice of reason. You may need to remind others that there are only so many hours in a day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): A rolling stone gathers no mistletoe. Seeing all your holiday plans through may require you to stay in motion as if you rest you may just stall altogether.

A close friend or loved one may finally provide a long-awaited answer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): Grin and bear it. While the holidays are about spending time with loved ones, certain relatives may be kind of a chore to endure. You may be genuinely surprised when the least likely person turns out to be your secret Santa.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Go with the flow. It may take a little effort to find your holiday spirit but once you get into the swing of things you’ll have a ball. Don’t be shy if you find yourself among new faces as you will most likely make fast friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): Have it your way. Whether you want to attend a big holiday bash or spend an intimate evening with a special someone, it’s all up to you. Sometimes a comfortable silence with a loved one can say more than a deep conversation.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Kid Corner:Thumbprint Cookies Give Kids A Hands-On Holiday Baking Experience

By Wolfgang Puck

At no time of year do children want to help out in the kitchen more than during the holidays. It’s easy to understand why.

The aromas are tantalizing. The parade of foods is beautiful and delicious. Plus, school is out and the weather is colder, so the kids are indoors more and probably itching for an activity. Why wouldn’t little hands want to join in the kitchen fun? My four my sons, especially before they reached double-digit ages, have always been eager to cook with me as Christmas approaches.

The challenge of having kids helping in the kitchen is finding simple hands-on tasks that not only feel like fun and are relatively safe to do, but also produce results they’re happy to eat. That’s why cookies, especially basic ones, make especially good choices.

Thumbprint cookies are among my favorite varieties to make with young ones. These usually one- or two-bite treats, named for the indentation made in each cookie, have been around for at least two centuries, and their origin has been claimed by countries and cultures across central and eastern Europe and north into Scandinavia, where the Swedes descriptively call them hallongrottor, literally “raspberry caves.”

Raspberry jam is, indeed, a very traditional filling for the tender, crumbly cookies.

But you can substitute different flavors of jam, jelly or marmalade; or try chocolate ganache - a mixture of melted chocolate and a little cream. The dough is a simple butter cookie mixture, which I richly flavor in my recipe for chocolate-raspberry thumbprint cookies with unsweetened cocoa powder and melted bittersweet chocolate. Other versions of the dough may include ground almonds or hazelnuts, or orange or lemon extract brightened with some grated zest. Feel free to experiment with any combination that sounds good to you.

With Christmas upon us, this recipe is quick and easy to prepare with the children. Let them help you measure out the ingredients.

Have them stand safely clear of the stand mixer or handheld electric mixer while you mix the dough. After you’ve cleared away the beaters into the sink, invite the kids to help you gather the dough from the bowl and wrap it for refrigeration. Then, let them take charge - under your close supervision, of course - when it comes to shaping the chilled dough into balls and pressing thumbs into their centers to make the indentations.

Finally, after you’ve taken care of the baking and the cookies have cooled, your helpers can mastermind filling them with the jam.

Here’s a final hint: It doesn’t really matter how neatly they do it! The cookies will still be delicious - so good, in fact, that you should have enough ingredients on hand to make another batch very soon after Christmas!

C HO COL AT E - R A SPBER RY

THUMBPRINT COOKIES Makes about 6 dozen 3 cups (750 mL) plus 3 tablespoons allpurpose flour 1/4 cup (60 mL) unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 4 ounces (125 g) bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces 3/4 pound (375 g), 3 sticks, unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into small pieces 1 1/3 cups (335 mL) confectioners’ sugar, sifted 2 large egg yolks Raspberry jam, at room temperature Line 1 or 2 baking trays with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa and salt. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, bring about 2 inches (5 cm) of water to a boil. Put the chocolate in a bowl large enough to rest inside the rim of the pan without the bottom of the bowl touching the water. (Carefully pour off a little water, if necessary.) Place the bowl over the water and, when the chocolate is almost completely melted, turn off the heat and leave it to melt completely, stirring occasionally.

In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle or beaters, or in a large mixing bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat together the butter and confectioners’ sugar: Start on low speed until the sugar is incorporated, and then turn the speed to high and continue beating until the mixture is very fluffy and white, about 5 minutes, stopping the beaters or paddle as necessary to scrape down the sides of the bowl and under the beaters with a rubber spatula.

On medium speed, add the egg yolks one at a time, beating just until incorporated. Add the melted chocolate and mix well. On low speed, slowly pour in the sifted dry ingredients, again beating just until fully incorporated to form a soft, smooth dough. Do not overmix.

Remove the bowl from the mixer, or set the handheld beater aside. With clean hands, form small balls of dough about 1/2 ounce (15 g) each. Gently press your clean thumb into each ball, making a deep indentation in the center; then, place the balls on the prepared baking tray, placing them about 2 inches apart. Cover loosely and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or as long as overnight, to help set the indentations in the dough.

Before baking, position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).

Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes, turning them back to front halfway through.

Gently slide the cookies on the parchment paper onto a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.

Once the cookies have cooled, use a small teaspoon or a piping bag with a wide tip to fill each indentation with a little raspberry jam.
