Continued From Page 1 members. They were introduced by college president Jon H. Larson, PhD. Haines spoke first, starting her comments with sharing that the Foundation provides $600,000 in scholarships each year to Ocean County residents, enabling them to attend “the number one community college in the state of New Jersey.”

“We are the first in many things. We are the first community college in New Jersey, and to me, we are still and always will be the number one community college,” Haines said.

Haines gave audience members a brief rundown of the mechanics of county government and history, and gave a startling example of the county’s growth: In 1950, the county had 50,000 residents. Today, there are more than 600,000 residents.

There are 21 libraries and 27 county parks to serve residents.

“Ocean County is, in a lot of areas - not just with parks and libraries - rated No. 1 in many, many areas,” Haines said.

Even with the vest web of county government - each freeholder has his or her own sphere of responsibility and trusts the others to fill them in as needed - Bartlett quoted Harry S. Truman as saying “the buck stops here [with the freeholders].”

Bartlett started his remarks with a quick history of the establishment of OCC, established on paper in 1964 and a functioning college two years later. He’s a graduate of its first class.

The General’s

“It’s amazing to me what benefits the associate degree from Ocean County College has meant to me in my life,” Bartlett said.

“It’s as if the college has weaved in and out of my life forever. …I’m exceedingly proud to be associated with Ocean County College.”

The freeholders have budgeted $15 million to OCC this year, Bartlett said. The county contributes to the college every year, and never do the freeholders fight about budgeting that money for the college, Bartlett added. The county has sought out partnerships to build OCC into the campus (it now shares with Kean University) that it is today.

Bartlett is also called by his county colleagues “the architect” of the county budget. He touched upon how they build that each year.

“There’s a million things that governments can do that sound great. All you have to do is listen to some campaigns some time…We’re going to have heaven on earth,” politicians will promise. “But guess what? All of those dollars come from the taxpayers. They come out of whose pocket? Yours. So, who can decide better where to spend your money? [You.] Now, not everyone would agree with that, but I certainly do.”

The government has a limited function, and what it does, it will do well. But it can’t do everything, Bartlett added. The county has a AAA bond rating—30 years in the making—and kept it despite losing 20 percent of its ratable income after the great recession and Superstorm Sandy.

FEMA reimbursement Sometimes being fiscally prudent baffles bureaucrats.

The county spent $100 million of its own money cleaning up after Superstorm Sandy.

When it came time to get reimbursement through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the feds insisted the county got the money from somewhere. “‘Who advanced you? No one has that kind of money,’” Haines repeated to the audience, a FEMA rep speaking with the county. “Ocean County, we were able to do it. They were fighting with [Ocean County], saying we had to have gotten the money from somewhere.”

The county is the only government entity in the entire country that has been able to finance its own cleanup, she said. The county eventually got its money reimbursed from the federal government.

The county was eligible for an additional $10 million from the state. The county in turn gave the municipalities that joined their post-hurricane clean-up project their 10 percent back that they paid into the cleanup.

abide by shelter rules.

“As much as we’ve tried to get people into facilities, because we do have hotels and motels around Ocean County that are able to provide temporary housing, but some will abide by certain things and others won’t,” Haines said.

Code Blue facilities - those that open to the homeless population when temperatures drop below freezing - are regulated by statutes. Although churches and other organizations would like to help, they can’t receive government funding because their facilities don’t meet those regulations.

There were two buildings that opened this winter - one in Lakewood, one in Toms River - and people in the southern part of the county were transported to one of those two places.

Bartlett would like to see more faith-based and private organizations step up if they are so inclined, because a government-run shelter only runs into so much red tape.

The county can make contributions to such shelters, which are generally free to operate as they wish.

Homelessness In Ocean County Don’t expect the county to build its own homeless shelter, but continue looking for it to provide some financial help to organizations that do help the county’s homeless.

The county works with the boards of social services and human services to provide millions of dollars for the homeless population, Haines said.

She added that many homeless will not live in a shelter, as they are unwilling to

Business closings in Ocean County Oyster Creek. Toys R Us. Sears. While the towns that are losing businesses, big businesses, may feel that loss more acutely, those closings are a blip on the county level, Bartlett said.

“The closing of one store, or a couple of stores, in a county this large, really has a negligible effect,” Bartlett said. “Obviously it has a great effect on the poor people who (County - See Page 5)

BlueClaws:

Continued From Page 1 the golf course,” an excited Haviland said as he attempted his stroke.

Haviland, a nine-year-old student at the Robert L. Horbelt School, carded a two-over par four on the hole.

“This course is amazing,” he said. “Any miniature golf course is great. I didn’t know I was the first player. Well, that is amazing.

I am not that good at mini golf.”

“If you look at this course, it looks so easy, but it’s really hard,” chimed in Haviland’s friend and partner, D.J. Swierk, 10, of Barnegat, and schoolmate of Haviland’s. “The obstacles make it hard.”

Barnegat resident Daniel Swierk, D.J. Swierk’s father, said he hoped his family and friends would be the first to tackle the course.

“We won a contest on Facebook and got two free golf tickets,” he said. “We ran down here, hoping to be the first one.”

The elder Swierk, a retired Edison Township fireman, said he enjoys the course.

“So far, I like it,” he said. “Anything to keep the kids occupied. It’s not just a baseball game. It’s family entertainment. We’ve been coming to these games for three years.

We absolutely love it. It’s better than going to the big cities and spending hundreds of dollars to sit in the nosebleed section.

“It’s basically a family outing. We have children ages 10-21 and they all enjoy it.

We get home at a reasonable hour, which is great.”

The first hole was named in the honor of former Lakewood and Philadelphia star Ryan Howard, who played for the BlueClaws in 2002. Lakewood retired his number 29 in 2010. The honor is part of the course’s Holes of Fame. Nine former Lakewood standouts were honored.

Howard hit .280 with 19 home runs and 87 runs batted in for Lakewood. He was chosen by the Phillies in the fifth round of the 2001 draft. He made his Major League debut Sept. 1, 2004, becoming the first ex-Lakewood player to appear in a major-league game.

He was named the 2005 National League Rookie of the Year and won the 2006 NL Most Valuable Player Award. He helped the Phillies to the World Series title in 2008, slugging 48 homers and driving in 146 runs during the regular season. He made two injury rehabilitation appearances with the BlueClaws, belting the game-winning home run in his first outing with Lakewod while rehabbing.

The nine-hole par 18 layout is a major part of the makeover of the park. The fee for adults is $4. Children either 12 years of age or under can play for $3. Balls, clubs and scorecards are provided by the team. The course is available for private events and is open prior to and during games.

Its first workers were Carolina Anderson, 16, a member of the Brick Memorial High School girls volleyball team, and Kayla Peterson, 16, a Brick Memorial student who competes on the Mustangs’ girls track and softball teams.

“It feels good to be the fi rst worker,” Anderson said. “I am ready for the whole season. I am excited to be working here.”

–Photos by Chris Christopher The Lakewood BlueClaws participate in a pre-game ceremony.

Anderson is in her first season with the team.

“I needed a job so that I could pay for my car and stuff,” Anderson said. “There are plenty of opportunities here.”

Anderson said she is no stranger to miniature golf, having played at Jenkinson’s of Point Pleasant Beach, which sponsored Thursday’s game.

“I have played it all my life,” she said.

“It is exciting,” Petersen said. “Everyone will get to see Carolina and I and everyone will know us as the faces of mini golf at the Lakewood BlueClaws. This will be fun. A lot of people are drawn to mini golf, which is very popular, especially at Jenkinson’s.”

Peterson is a first-year employee with the club.

“I need money for college and my car,” she said. “Both of us applied for the mini golf job. I brought it up to Carolina, actually.”

Shore Town Baseball, Lakewood’s ownership group which purchased the Philadelphia Phillies’ low Class A affiliate from the American Baseball Company (the original owner) hopes the makeover will give the facility an ambiance similar to an amusement park. The ABC originally owned the team.

The course, located near the right field foul line, has a Jersey Shore theme.

Obstacles on the third hole are two surfboards with the BlueClaws’ logo. They are augmented with a beach ball. Three large beach balls on the eighth hole serve as obstacles. A row boat, seating four persons, is the center piece.

A basketball display, Hoop Shots, sits beyond the center field fence. The cost is $2 per shot. The fee for three shots is $5.

Stuffed animals are prizes.

Two of the display’s workers are Bryce Morris, 17, a Manchester High School student, and Jaquel Hunter, 19, a former Lakewood football player.

“This is going to be a good experience for me before I go off to college (Rowan University) in the fall,” Morris said.

“Working here is going to be fun,” Hunter said. “The weather is about to get nice. I like the atmosphere out here - and they are paying me. Plus, I can watch the games.”

Near the basketball display is the Boardwalk Sweet Shop. The game was played on Thirsty Thursday, which offers discounted alcoholic beverages and wings. A Bier-

garten, located located down the left field foul line across from the Third Base Picnic Area, also made its debut. It offers high-top and sit-down, picnic style tables. It has additional sales portables for faster service. Five large flame heaters warm patrons.

A new Boardwalk Gaming Area is near the basketball display.

To hear Lakewood president-general manager Joe Ricciutti tell it, the improvements are just the beginning.

“Coming soon are a balloon and dart game, FatCat, Ring Toss and Goblet,” he said. “A local market, Coffee Shop, has joined us this year. By next week, we should be fully loaded. This is like having a party, inviting all 7,000 people and making sure everyone is eating, drinking and smiling and having a good time.

Lakewood wins: Will Stewart pitched the 18th-year BlueClaws past Delmarva, a Baltimore Orioles farm club, 2-0, in South Atlantic League action in front of an announced crowd of 5,669 fans Stewart (2-0) worked six four-hit innings, striking out four and walking none in dealing Delmarva (7-1) its first loss of the season. Jonathan Hennigan piched a perfect seventh and eighth. Kyle Dohy notched the

Making Ocean County Affordable “Can I be directly, brutally honest? I don’t think so,” Bartlett said in response to a question about lowering property taxes and the cost of living in Ocean County.

“You want the roads to drive on. …Yes, government can spend less. We can take the budget and cut it in half tomorrow. (And one of the first places we’d cut it would be

hold and Luis Ramirez posted his initial save of the year.

Quincy Nieporte homered and Dalton Guthrie lofted a sacrifice fly.

Lakewood is 4-4.

Newsy notes: The Shorebirds and the BlueClaws were introduced during pre-game introductions by public address announcer Kevin Clark. The Barnegat resident, now in his 18th season with Lakewood, has also served as the New Jersey Devils’ public address voice.

The teams lined up along the third and first-base lines respectively. Lakewood received cheers from its fans. Lakewood players signed free autographs for fans on the concourse.

Fourth and fifth graders from the Manchester Elementary School performed The National Anthem to cheers. One of the singers was Joseph Dickson-Egan, a fourth grade student.

“The kids were offered the chance to sing,” said Lacey Bottorff, Dickson-Egan’s mother. “Anyone who wanted to sing could do so.”

ClawsCrew members assisted fans throughout the park. Working security beyond the center field fence was former Brick High School football and boys track and field standout Pete Panuska, the Green Dragons’ athletic director.

The waiting areas at the major food stands have been reorganized with chains. An expanded net protects fans seated near the first and third base lines from thrown and batted balls.

Cape Fear Crocs T-shirts are on sale in Lakewood’s gift shop, the Claws Cove, for $22 each. The Crocs, formerly of Cape Fear, N.C., were Lakewood’s forerunners.

Lend a glove: The BlueClaws need bullpen catchers for the 2018 season.

Those interested must have catching experience at the collegiate level. Catchers will be needed when Lakewood is at home and should arrive up to several hours before the first pitch. They will stay until the end of the game.

If interested, please contact Kevin Fenstermacher at kfenstermacher@blueclaws.com.

from you guys [OCC students].)”

It comes down to balance, Bartlett said. But is the county willing to spend less on roads?

On schools? On services? Probably not.

The Opioid Crisis Ocean County, while considered “ground zero” in the opioid crisis in the state, is the only county to see a decrease in opioid-related deaths, Haines said. Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato was the first to equip local police departments with Narcan. He also helped lead the way to a major drug bust recently, which stretched through a half-dozen state counties, up to The Bronx, and overseas.

“He’s doing what he can to fight this epidemic,” Haines said of Coronato.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Another Traffic Light On Route 9

A s c r ews d ig i nt o Route 9 near the intersection with Frederick Drive in Berkeley, residents wanted to know what they were doing there.

They were installing a pedestrian signal at the intersection. Pedestrians will be able to push a button to turn the light red and then they can cross safely.

Online chat ter was mixed. In one camp was “Finally! That intersection is so dangerous!”

In the other camp was “Another (expletive deleted) light?”

True, there is a traffic light at 9 and Ocean Gate Drive, which is ver y close to Frederick Drive. And another

traffic light will definitely slow things down.

But that’s the point.

There have been at least three fatalities at that intersection and numerous other injuries. It is impossible to say how many near-misses there have been. A t r af f ic sig nal was def initely needed.

Route 9 is only going to get busier. Drivers need to expect it and officials have to be proact ive about it. Berkeley had been pushing for this light for a number of years, and the state took a while to approve it, but now that it’s finally happening, it is for the best.

Letters To The Editor Dear Letter to the Editor, In the fall, I joined with the thousands of people on the Seaside Heights boardwalk at the annual Hope Sheds Light HOPE Walk.

As an local elected official, I was proud to be a part of the event, and to stand with all who came to join the fight against opioid addiction. I was also very proud to see my congressman, Tom MacAr thur, at the HOPE Walk and committed to continuing his work in Congress to make sure resources are available to combat the drug devastation facing our communities.

As co-chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, Congressman MacArthur has been a leader in combating the opioid epidemic.

Most recently, he led the charge of passing a $4 billion bipartisan spending bill that will help provide the resources we need to help treat those struggling with addiction and assist law enforcement in their efforts to keep illegal drugs and guns off our streets.

Congressman MacArthur is constantly meeting with local law enforcement, elected officials, treatment providers, and those in recover y. He understands that the solution to this crisis will only be achieved through government at all levels working together to confront it. Tom does a great job focusing on the issues that are important to Ocean County and I am proud to be represented by a true leader who is a tireless advocate for our region.

Tax Reform Needed The pension exclusion act of 2016 was enacted to make New Jersey more competitive with New York and Pennsylvania. It was also intended to make New Jersey more affordable for

Letters To The Editor retirees. It was enacted to care givers, the placard must slow the out migration to Florida and other states with lower cost of living.

The pension exclusion act was modified and a watered down version of the bill was passed.

There remains marketing campaigns which tout the bill but disguise the fact that the bill excludes couples above a certain income.

New Jersey politicians, lobbies and unions are satisfied with this state of affairs.

W hile large cor porations continue to receive tax breaks and incentives and industry groups rally against the millionaires tax, and while New Jersey is proud that no estate of any size will be taxed, no one is willing to stand up for tax fairness for the average middle class retired couple.

If New Jersey is going to keep its middle class it needs to not just address property tax but income tax issues carefully, fairly and effectively.

Keep Parking For Physical Disabilities Only I am strongly against the two current bills mentioned in the media that would expand accessible parking permits to new groups.

As the current rules make clear, the accessible spaces are needed for individuals with physical conditions who need closest parking to get to stores, restaurants, medical facilities. The spaces are crucial for wheelchair-using people, who need the wider access aisles that are part of the accessible parking places to drop down their van ramps and have room to turn off the ramp.

The bills have not been thought out and are “feel good” bills, written without understanding of the issues I am describing. There is no need for those with PTSD, autistic people, or caregivers of disabled people to receive the placards. Instead of the

be issued to the one who needs it, as is current law.

The placard can go with that person to the driver’s vehicle while the disabled person is in the vehicle. It would be tempting for caregivers to park in the spaces even when they are not transporting a person with a disability.

PTSD does not require an accessible space. If the veteran has a physical disability, he or she can get a permit based on that fact.

The same is true for people with autism.

Please remember the legal requirement under the New Jersey and federal law (Americans with Disabilities Act or ADA), to provide parking for those with physical needs that prevent them from accessing places without those essential parking spaces.

We need much better enforcement of the mandated fines of $250 for first offenses. Towing is also a legal punishment.

Kim’s “Weaknesses” Are Really Strengths

Is Rep. Tom MacArthur looking to retire? I hope the answer is yes (for many reasons) because otherwise it is just plain scary how inept his campaign has been.

In the past week they’ve sent out multiple attacks on his opponent that have only served to highlight his larger deficiencies in those areas.

First, in his continued efforts to make it seem that Mr. Andy Kim is an “outsider,” he brought up a property tax mistake (that Mr. Kim had corrected before anyone knew of it). Thank you Congressman for the reminder that while Mr. Kim did not live in district for the past few years he was working as a public servant serving in Afghanistan and DC. The contrast between Mr. Kim returning home to run and MacArthur’s having shopped for a district a few years back is a win for Kim. Now, he takes issue with Mr. Kim’s pledge not to a c c e pt c or p or at e PAC money. MacAr thur and his campaign claim that in accepting money from Democratic PACs that have corporate contributors, Kim has broken that pledge, but those indirect contributions (about 2 percent of his total campaign funds) do not buy influence. Again, this highlights that over half of MacArthur’s contributions have come from PACs and his votes highlight that he serves someone other than his constituents. Thank you again Congressman for detailing these differences that are a win for Kim. Good luck in your retirement.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Federal Office Of Anti-Semitism Monitor Can’t Remain Empty From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. – Two members of the U.S. House of Representatives (Chris Smith [R-4th], and Nita Lowey [D-NY]) addressed this open letter to President Trump’s nominee for secretary of state, Mike Pompeo.

“Many of our constituents, as well as Jewish families here and abroad, sat down for a seder to commemorate the Exodus story of Passover. Anti-Semitic attacks, threats and incidents were likely a topic of discussion at many tables. Conversations about Jewish communities around the world focused on a key question: Is there a future for these communities in their home countries, or will they be forced into a modern Exodus?

As two members of Congress dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism, we are deeply concerned by the increase in anti-Semitism around the globe in the last year. Here are just a few of the stories that have been brought to our attention: • The recent slaying of an 85-year-old Holocaust survivor in Paris, France, who the police believe was targeted because of her religion; • Comments from Russian President Vladimir Putin that the Jews could be responsible for interfering in the U.S. elections; • A study from the UK’s Community Security Trust, which found that the Jewish community was targeted at a rate of nearly four times

a day in 2017, an all-time high; • The suspected arson of a kosher grocery store in Créteil, France, which had just been defaced with Nazi swastikas; • A letter on the website for the Jewish community of Poland outlining their concerns about a “growing wave of intolerance, xenophobia, and anti-Semitism” in the country, leaving many in the community feeling unsafe; • A 40 percent increase in the number of anti-Semitic incidents of vandalism in 2017 in the Netherlands; and Attempts in many countries to outlaw circumcision and various kosher and halal butchering practices.

Every one of these incidents is one too many, and they are just a small sample of what is happening around the globe.

The United States has consistently been a leader in the fight to combat international anti-Semitism.

Since 2004, this work has

been led by the U.S. State Department’s Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism. The Global Anti-Semitism Review Act of 2004, signed into law that year, created and required the position and its supporting office. Rep. Chris Smith authored those provisions of the law. The position is tasked with tracking and leading U.S. efforts against anti-Semitism around the globe. Just as important, the Special Envoy has served as a critical high-level liaison in the U.S. administration for international Jewish communities.

The Special Envoy position is now more important than ever. Anti-Semitic extremists in the United States and elsewhere are sharing and refi ning their methods and materials with each other. Terrorist groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda have hard-wired hatred of Jewish people into their ideological DNA, using it as a basis for their attack priorities and propaganda. Anti-Semitic

attitudes, rhetoric and incidents have risen on the far left, far right and even the mainstream of the ideological spectrum in many countries.

As you may be aware, the position of Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism has remained vacant since the beginning of the administration. Additionally, there has been no staff in the Office to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism since May 2017.

Throughout 2017, we consistently urged the administration to fill the Special Envoy position as soon as possible, including through directives in the Fiscal Year 2017 and 2018 Omnibus bills. Ranking Member Nita Lowey authored those provisions in those appropriations bills. But even in the light of rising violence and discrimination against the world’s Jewish communities, the position and office are still vacant.

You will have many challenges to tackle should you

be confirmed as the U.S. Secretary of State. Nonetheless, we urge you to make it a top priority to quickly appoint a person of recognized distinction in combating anti-Semitism, or in a directly relevant field, to the Special Envoy position. The longer this position remains empty, the more likely the U.S. commitment to combating the modern-day scourge of an ancient evil is called into question. U.S. leadership in the fight against anti-Semitism is essential, even more so now, and we cannot shirk the responsibilities that rest on our shoulders as a world leader.

At the end of a Passover seder, participants often say “Next year in Jerusalem.”

But with increasing threats against Jewish communities in Europe, Latin America and elsewhere, let us hope for seders next year in the UK, France, Poland, the Netherlands and the rest of the world. We look forward to working with you to ensure this is a reality.

Pharma Companies Not Using Tax Savings To Lower Prices Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The largest 10 pharmaceutical companies in the nation have announced no plans to pass on any of their newfound tax savings from the Republican tax bill to consumers in the form of lower drug prices, according to a new 15-page report released by U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ).

Instead, half of the firms plan to use their windfall to repurchase shares of their own stock, a mechanism used to boost the individual stock price for shareholders. So-called stock

buybacks overwhelmingly benefit wealthy individuals - 84 percent of stocks are controlled by the wealthiest 10 percent of Americans.

Senator Booker’s staff reviewed transcripts of the fourth quarter earnings calls and other public forecasting statements of the largest 10 U.S.-headquartered pharmaceutical companies - Pfizer, Merck & Co., Johnson & Johnson, Gilead Sciences, AbbVie, A mge n , Br ist ol-Mye r s Squibb, Eli Lilly & Co., Celgene, and Mylan.

Their findings revealed

no evidence that drug companies are using any of their tax savings to lower the price of prescription drugs. Instead, their analysis revealed that five of the 10 fi rms have announced $45 billion in new stock buyback programs. That figure represents roughly one-fifth of the more than $200 billion in recent buyback announcements across all industries.

“This early snapshot of how drug companies are using their newfound tax savings is profoundly discouraging,” Senator Booker said. “Instead of using the windfall to benefit consumers in the form of lower drug prices, they’re using their savings to line the pockets of wealthy shareholders and executives.

That’s unacceptable. Too

many Americans have to choose between basic necessities such as taking their medicine and paying their utility bill. The pharmaceutical industry needs to get its priorities straight and do more for patients struggling with skyrocketing drug prices.”

“While today’s report captures only a first glimpse at how these major drug companies will allocate their tax savings, it is a powerful indicator of how these and other major pharmaceutical companies intend to deploy

their tax benefits,” Booker added. “I hope these companies prove me wrong and use this windfall to lower drug prices for Americans.”

Booker sent his 15-page report today to the CEOs of the 10 drug companies, and urged them to use their tax savings to combat skyrocketing drug prices.

This report is part of Booker’s ongoing effort to lower consumer drug prices for the millions of New Jerseyans and Americans who struggle to afford their medicine. Last year,

Senator Booker introduced a bill - the Affordable and Safe Prescription Dr ug Importation Act - with Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Bob Casey (D-PA) that would allow Americans to import safe, low-cost medicine from Canada and other advanced countries.

Booker is also a sponsor of legislation that would allow Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices, make it easier to get generic drugs to market, and make other key reforms to bring down high drug cost.

FirstEnergy Warns Customers To ‘Hang Up, Don’t Pay Up’ When Scammers Call

NO COUPONS, NO GIMMICKS

GUARANTEED BEST PRICE PAID PERIOD!

WE BUY GOLD

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – FirstEnergy Utilities recently released a mini documentary entitled “Hang Up, Don’t Pay Up: When a Scammer Calls,” urging customers to be wary of phone scammers impersonating FirstEnergy employees.

In the documentary, FirstEnergy customers speak out about their experience with scammers impersonating employees and provide some tips to help customers avoid these scams.

They explain that the scammers might claim that you have unpaid electric bills, threatening to shut off your power if you don’t pay up. These fraudsters use caller ID spoofing to cover up the real number while recreating FirstEnergy’s automated menu. This is what makes these scammers so convincing.

In addition to phone scammers, FirstEnergy warns residential and business customers to be wary of door-to-door scammers in the coming warming weather. These scammers also demand immediate payment, threatening service disconnection.

“Scammers can be very convincing and often target those who are most vulnerable, like senior citizens or business owners who rely on electric service to run their business and make a living,” said Gary W. Grant, vice president of customer service for FirstEnergy Utilities. “We want others to hear directly from victims of attempted utility scams, in hopes they’ll learn how to spot a scam in the future.

Last year, FirstEnergy received 959 reports of scams from customers, almost double that of 2016.

You can find the mini documentary “Hang Up, Don’t Pay Up” on FirstEnergy’s Scam and Fraud Information website.

The site also provides tips and information to help customers avoid falling victim to scammers, including: Customers with past-due accounts will receive a written notice of their account status, with instructions on how to avoid disconnection of service.

FirstEnergy employees would explain how a payment can be made using the established payment options, rather than demand payment over the phone.

FirstEnergy field collectors carry company-issued photo ID and offer customers with past-due accounts the opportunity to pay their bill in person before shutting them off.

FirstEnergy does not accept prepaid debit cards or wire transfers as payment, and their representatives will not demand bank or credit card information over the phone.

Never dial the phone number the scammers provide.

“We encourage customers to contact us directly using the phone number listed on our website and on their billing statement if they need to verify the status of their electric account or to confirm the identity of a FirstEnergy employee,” said Grant. “When in doubt, always give us a call.”

New Scholarship Established In The Name Of Late NJ Senator

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The John F. Russo Scholarship celebrates the legacy of the late New Jersey senator. The $100,000 endowment was gifted to the Ocean County College Foundation by Mary Ann Russo, the wife of the senator.

“The OCC Foundation expresses its gratitude to Mrs. Russo for this generous donation, which will assist many deserving, politically engaged, students for years to come.

In addition, a special note of appreciation is expressed to OCC Foundation Trustee Stephan Leone for his assistance in acquiring this gift,” Kenneth J. Malagiere, Executive Director of the Ocean County College Foundation, said.

The scholarship is available to political science majors, either those taking classes at

OCC or going on to a four-year institution.

County high school or OCC students who have worked with a declared political party and are active in the political process can apply. Two awards will be given in the spring and fall semesters, one to a Democrat and the other a Republican. Recipients can be either part- or full-time students but must have a minimum 2.5 GPA. Students awarded the scholarship must then take at least one political science class each semester.

“Mrs. Russo and her family can be proud of Sen. Russo’s dedication and contributions to the political landscape in Ocean County.

This endowment will help keep his memory and work alive in the hearts and minds of our students, faculty, and staff,” Malagiere added.

By Jennifer Peacock TRENTON – The governor wants gun violence data available at the publics’ fingertips.

Gov. Phil Murphy issued executive order no. 21, which directs the state’s department of law and public safety to post “key information related to guns used in the commission of crimes in the state” on its and the State Police’s website on an ongoing basis.

“Each department, office, division, and agency of this state is hereby required, to the extent not inconsistent with law, to cooperate fully with the Department and to furnish the

Department with such relevant information and assistance on a timely basis as is necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Order,” the order said.

The order goes on to say that the database should raise public awareness on the impact of gun violence in communities across the state. While the order cites that 80 percent of gun crimes are committed with weapons trafficked into the state, it did not say how many of those crime were committed by citizens who follow New Jersey’s already strict gun laws.

Tips For Hearing Better In Noise

Despite advances in digital hearing aid technology, even with the latest digital noise reduction circuitry, background noise continues to be a problem. Depicted below are some strategies that you can utilize to improve your ability to hear in background noise: Plan ahead by picking a quieter restaurant. For example, unless you’re content to read the captioning on the televisions, avoid sports bars. Try to find carpeted restaurants that have chairs with rollers on the legs (thus preventing an annoying scraping sound when they are moved), plants and sound absorbent materials on the tables and on the walls.

Make reservations ahead of time and ask for accommodations.

Go to your favorite restaurants so that you already know their specialties and options, such as choices of salad dressings or side dishes.

Pick the best day and time (not Friday nights) to dine out.

Look on the restaurant’s Web site to preview the menu.

Choose to dine with a smaller number of dining partners.

Pick a table in the least noisy part of the restaurant (i.e. away for the kitchen, bar, wait service stations, etc.).

Ask for seating in a well lit area.

Remember that even people with normal hearing experience greater difficulty in a noisy listening environment than they do in a quiet listening environment. So, do not expect to do as well with your hearing

aids in a noisy restaurant as you do in the quiet of your home.

Sit with your back to the window so that lighting is on the speaker’s face, not in your eyes.

Request that staff turn down background music. (You are probably not the only patron bothered by the volume of the music.)

Tell the host/hostess and waiter/waitress, as well as your dining companions, that you have a hearing loss and that it will help you if they slow down a bit, speak a little bit louder and face you directly.

When possible, indicate choices before you are asked. Example: “I would like a salad with Italian dressing,” or “I would like a burger, or fries.”

Ask the waiter/waitress for a printed list of the specials of the day.

Use a directional microphone and/or FM system. If your hearing aids are set to directional, be sure to sit with your back to the main noise source.

If restaurant dining is for business, request another place to meet.

Relax/breathe and enjoy the fine food and company, even if you do not catch every word.

Please keep in mind that these possible solutions should improve your ability to hear and understand in noisy environments. Hopefully, these suggestions may assist you in enjoying your dining experience with friends, attending parities, participating in religious services and conversing with relatives at family dinners.

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. Expanded Whiting Hours!

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

Are You Taking Medicine That Makes You Gain Weight?

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Some of you are eating like a bird, and still struggling to lose weight. As a pharmacist, I’ve seen it time and time again. Someone comes in looking fit and great, and 6 months later they have 30 pounds on them, and it is out of character, meaning, they’ve been thin all their life. Counting calories won’t matter.

Today’s article will shed light on why your getting heavier and heavier, even though you may be exercising or eating a diet that should keep you slim.

If you’d like a more comprehensive version of this article, sign up for my newsletters at suzycohen.com and I’ll email you every Tuesday with the electronic version of this health blog. Why Tuesday? Because Sam thought of it, he said Tuesdays are Suze-days! LOL. And just recently, I’ve written a new series of newsletters which includes delicious recipes and funny cartoons; these will come to your email on Sundays because Sunday is fun day!

Now, back to the medications that could be making people fat. In no particular order: Estrogen-containing hormones.

This category includes oral contraceptives as well as HRT, hormone replacement therapy. It’s partly because high levels of estrogen cause insulin resistance, and make it harder for you to break down glucose. Your fat cells expand to four times their size. These fake estrogens, as well as pesticides which are also estrogenic, cause a relatively lower amount of testosterone which is needed for lean muscles.

Antidepressants.

The reaction varies, so in some of you, these drugs can cause weight loss during

the first few months. However, it’s often short-lived as many users of antidepressants develop a voracious appetite (especially for carbs) after the initial weight-loss effect.

Steroids.

Hydrocortisone, prednisone and methylprednisone are part of this category and they are popular medications. These corticosteroids are taken by mouth, unlike some of the ones you inhale for the treatment of asthma, so as a result, the oral medications cause more dramatic weight gain. In 2006, a survey showed that about 70% of steroid users gained weight despite trying to exercise and diet.

Antipsychotics.

Clozapine (Clozaril) and olanzapine (Zyprexa) are second generation antipsychotics which are used in the treatment of mental health disorders like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. These second generation medications cause serious weight gain!

Insulin.

The weight gain can be dramatic if you take insulin, and it doesn’t matter the type.

It’s such an irony too if you think about it. Insulin is used to treat diabetes, which is frequently associated with obesity, and insulin is the drug used to treat diabetes, but it causes more obesity.

Obviously, if you take these medications, please do commit to a healthy exercise regimen and continue on a clean low fat, low carb diet. But hopefully reading this will give you some peace and the realization that it’s not your fault, and that another medication might exist that isn’t associated with as much weight gain. It’s a good conversation to have with your doctor.

MERKEL CELL CARCINOMA

M

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.

Jersey Shore Skips Shore, Heads To Miami

By Jennifer Peacock SEASIDE HEIGHTS – A group of eight housemates spend a summer at the shore.

Hijinks ensue. Cameras crew document the “reality” of the friends’ summer. The officials where the series was filmed learn some lessons. A mixed blessing indeed.

Jersey Shore was a smash hit for MTV, airing for five seasons from December 2009

to December 2012. Three of those seasons were filmed in Seaside Heights. (The show also filmed in Miami, Florida; and Florence, Italy, during its original run.)

The castmates have met with varying degrees of post-Jersey Shore success, and most of the original cast returned for the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation series airing on MTV and online now. MTV’s parent

company, Viacom, reported that at least 10 million unique viewers tuned in during its premiere weekend April 5, which broke unscripted show viewership records set in 2012. Even before its premiere, the network renewed the reboot for a seventh season.

But rather than return to where it all started, production took place in Miami.

“Some people would argue that the show

put Seaside Heights on the map. Other people would argue just as strongly that Seaside Heights was already on the map,” Seaside Heights Borough administrator Christopher J. Vaz told Jersey Shore Online.

Vaz wrote candidly about the show’s impact on the borough.

“If we use parking meter revenue and beach revenue as a measure, there were very good years for the borough during the show’s production. Can’t say for certain that Jersey Shore was solely responsible, but the show was generally good for business,” Vaz wrote via email. “On the flip side, I can say very honestly that I have met very few people outside of Seaside Heights who believe that the production was good for Seaside Heights in the long view. Maybe the experience of other people has been different, but my personal experience in talking to people from all over the country is that the show portrayed Seaside Heights in a negative light and it hurt us in the big picture. This was a risk that the borough and local business owners accepted when they signed on.

“I doubt anybody could have known then how successful the show would become and how Seaside Heights would be impacted – for better or worse. We live and learn. And we shouldn’t be afraid to take on reasonable risks when considering something new,” Vaz said.

He said the borough wasn’t directly contacted about filming the reboot there. He did approve a permit for filming on a cold January afternoon, but rejected another permit last year which would have saw filming during a June weekend by the road trip reunion production.

“Seaside Heights has moved on and through our public statements in 2017 we encouraged the Jersey Shore production folks also to move on. None of this is personal,” Vaz wrote. “…We wish the cast nothing but success in their professional and personal lives.”

The borough did benefit another way by its Jersey Shore association. After Superstorm Sandy, MTV and show’s cast held a telethon that raised money for Seaside Heights. The money raised purchased two mobile stages for the borough’s beach and boardwalk, and numerous sun shade structures.

“We haven’t forgotten that. There remains a personal bond between local business owners and the cast even if the Borough has pivoted in a new direction from a marketing and promotional perspective,” Vaz said.

In 2017, the borough adopted an ordinance that gives it greater control of future filming projects. Officials have also learned that sometimes it is best to say no to a project, be it a film, concert or other special activity. Vaz said there is a long-term strategy to recapture Seaside Height’s essence as a premier family vacation destination. Some projects that have been proposed simply don’t serve that goal.

“Seaside Heights is changing for the better.

Many people are working very hard every day to match high level goals and objectives with decisions that are being made in the (Jersey Shore - See Page 30)

–Photo by Kim Bosco Visual aids described what was going to happen on the site in the future.

By Kimberly Bosco MANAHAWKIN – The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission held a public hearing at The Holiday Inn in Manahawkin to discuss the current state and the future of the Oyster Creek Generating Station with concerned residents.

Members of the NRC were present to discuss the process of decommissioning the plant and answer any questions that anyone might have. What was intended to be a more formal public hearing became a more relaxed atmosphere where people could walk up to NRC members and ask questions or take a stroll around the room to look at the informative posters.

Exelon Generation, the company that owns Oyster Creek, announced near the end of January 2018 that the plant will be closing

its doors at the end of this year, around October. It was originally slated to close December 2019.

Shutdown:

Continued From Page 25 decommissioning plans will utilize the SAFESTOR strategy. This is known as ““deferred dismantling:” a nuclear facility is maintained and monitored in a condition that allows the radioactivity to decay,” according to the NRC website.

Following this decaying process, spent fuel is transferred into dry cask storage; then follows decontamination and dismantling of the facility. This entire process can take up to 60 years.

“They take years and years to build and it takes years and years to transition,” out of operation, said Matt Fannon, resident inspector at the Oyster Creek site.

Fannon noted that even though the site will not be in operation during decommissioning, there will still be plenty of routine checks and monitoring on the plant.

Matt Young, Senior Resident Inspector at the NRC, said that the end goal for when the site is decommissioned is that everything in the reactor building, all of the spent fuel, will be transferred into these dry cask storage units.

“There’s a metal cask that it goes in, then they weld it all up, then they put it in a concrete cask,” and in a concrete facility, said Young about the spent fuel.

“We come out and inspect that.”

Young explained that the dry cask storage facility is not new technology.

“Most every sizeable power plant has a storage facility because there is no long

The Manchester Times, April 21, 2018, Page 31 term storage facility for all of them,” said Fannon.

Before spent fuel is stored in these dry cask units, it needs to cool, which is a process that can take up to five years, according to Bruce Watson, chief of the Reactor Decommissioning Branch of the NRC. “When the fuel is removed from the reactor it’s, I’ll say hot…after about 300 days to a year or year and a half, it will be very cool compared to what it was when it came out,” said Watson. “After that point, it’ll continue to cool.” This continued cooling can take up to five years, he added.

When the decay heat of the fuel reaches a lower point, it can be transferred into the dry storage container, said Watson, which has no water. “It doesn’t need any additional cooling other than the ambient air.”

This cooling process prior to dry cask storage is what NRC calls SAFESTOR. The dry cask storage facility will be on the premises of the reactor building so as not to transfer spent fuel any significant distance. It will remain here indefinitely, as there is no long term storage facility outside of this in place already.

This decommissioning process has not yet begun as the plant is still operating until the end of its current operating cycle in October.

Following the shutdown of the plant, Young noted that residents surrounding the plant will still receive yearly calendars and updated information on the site.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Counsel Fees

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Peace of Mind and Heart Before, During and Beyond Timothy E. Ryan Owner/Senior Director N.J. Lic. No. 3103

Serving Ocean County for Over 50 Years

By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved ones passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a contest arises, understanding how legal fees could impact Estate assets is critical to know.

Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed, and parties to the Will challenge its contents, the Executor of an Estate may use Estate assets to defend any challenges. So long as the challenge to the Will is a challenge to its validity, interpretation, distribution, or specific clauses, then an Executor may hire an attorney to defend the Estate. Any counsel fees incurred in defending against such challenges to the Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution, would not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, these fees are payable to the Estate. However, when an Executor begins defending claims against non-probate assets, the circumstances change, and certain limitations apply.

Probate assets are any assets that are owned solely by the decedent, and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets can include the following: real property that is titled solely in the decedent’s name or held as a tenant in common; Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles; bank accounts that are solely in the decedent’s name; an interest in a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company; any life insurance policy or brokerage account that lists either the decedent or the estate as the beneficiary.

A non-probate asset is as an asset which

does not “pass” through the Decedent’s Estate, and bypasses the court process by transferring directly to the beneficiaries. Non-probate assets can include the following: property that is held in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety; bank or brokerage accounts held in joint tenancy or with payable on death (POD) or transfer on death (TOD) beneficiaries; property held in a trust; life insurance or brokerage accounts that list someone other than the decedent as the beneficiary; retirement accounts.

If a party to a Will challenges the transfer of a non-probate asset, an Executor may be forbidden from utilizing Estate assets to defend against such a claim. When a transfer of non-probate assets benefits the Executor of the Estate to the exclusion of other beneficiaries, then the Executor will not be allowed to use the Estates assets to pay legal fees in defense of such a dispute. Should an Executor use the assets of the Estate to make such payments, then these assets may be payable back to the Estate by the Executor.

Your financial condition can improve this week if you are organized. Take a break from people who think inside the box or who refuse to be flexible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It isn’t necessary to buy something to bolster your selfesteem. You may long to own a unique collectible or the latest computer gadget. You may be prompted to make impulsive purchases this week.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Remembering Paul Bocuse: MyVersion Of A Simple Potato Dish FromThe Legendary French Chef’s Hometown

By Wolfgang Puck

I’ve been thinking a lot lately of the famed French chef Paul Bocuse, who died at the age of 91 this past Jan. 20. I feel proud and humble to have been able to call him a friend, and to have benefitted from the leadership and dedication he gave to his craft.

Bocuse championed modern French cuisine, raising the profile of chefs worldwide as creative individuals while staying true to his roots in the city of Lyon, where he was born and where he died in the very same room above his restaurant, L’Auberge du Pont de Collonges.

Even before Bocuse and I got to know each other, I fi rst came in contact with him back when I was a young chef learning my trade in France. I’d saved up to dine at La Maison Troisgros, the great three-Michelin-star restaurant in Roanne. And right there, eating at the table next to me, was the great Chef Bocuse.

I was so awestruck that I could barely focus on my meal. It felt like being a rock-and-roll fan and suddenly realizing you were inches away from Mick Jagger, or loving movies and unexpectedly coming face to face with George Clooney or Meryl Streep.

Bocuse himself earned and kept his three-star Michelin rating since 1965, dazzling guests with dishes like black truff le soup served in an individual crock crowned with golden-brown puff pastry; red mullet fillet roasted with crispy scales made of thin potato slices; and chicken breast fricassee with morel mushrooms and cream sauce. Yet, he also pioneered the lighter, simpler approach to French cooking that came to be known as nouvelle cuisine, which went on to revolutionize fine cooking around the world.

In spite of his global influence, Bocuse never forgot his Lyonnaise roots. With that in mind, as my own modest tribute to him, I would like to share a version of Pommes Lyonnaise, or Lyonnaise Potatoes, a classic side dish of the region that I’m sure he cooked and enjoyed many times in his life.

The beauty of this dish is its simplicity, with a crispy, golden-brown crust and tender interior. All you need is an onion, a few potatoes, some butter, and salt and pepper. How you combine them, however, is critical to the recipe’s success.

First, be sure to use a nonstick round baking pan; otherwise, the potatoes will not unmold properly. The other essential is to use clarified butter that won’t burn

in the high heat of the oven; it’s easy to prepare following the instructions in the recipe.

I hope you’ll try this soon. And when you do, please join me and raise a glass to the memory of Chef Bocuse!

LYONNAISE POTATOES Serves 6 1/2 pound (250 g) unsalted butter 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced 3 large Idaho or baking potatoes, peeled 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper First, make clarified butter: Put the butter in a heavy pan over low heat.

Cook until it stops bubbling and the liquid butter is clear, about 30 minutes.

Carefully pour off the clear liquid into a clean container, leaving behind and then discarding the solids that have formed on the pan’s bottom. Set aside 4 tablespoons of the clarified butter; transfer the rest to an airtight, where it will keep in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C).

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the clarified butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and saute, stirring frequently, until it turns a light golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.

Set aside.

With a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into uniform slices 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick; do not soak them in water after slicing.

Immediately toss the slices in a mixing bowl with the remaining 3 tablespoons clarified butter and the salt and pepper.

On the bottom of a round 10-inch (25-cm) baking pan, arrange half of the sliced potatoes in a single layer. Cover with the sauteed onions, spreading them evenly. Top with the remaining potato slices.

Bake in the oven until the potatoes on top are deep golden brown and crispy, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and, with a thin spatula inserted into one side, check the underside of the potato cake. If it doesn’t look sufficiently brown, cook a few minutes longer on a stovetop burner over high heat.

With heatproof oven pads or gloves protecting both hands, carefully clasp together the platter and pan and invert them; then, carefully lift off the pan to unmold the potatoes. Use a sharp, serrated knife to cut the potatoes into wedges. Serve immediately.
