By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – School officials said they will use surplus and maintenance reserve funds to patch a $2,357,955 hole in state aid this year, but warned they won’t be able to do the same next year.

The issue stems from the amount of aid that the state is giving Toms River.

Additionally, aid would continue to be reduced even more for six years.

The philosophy behind the cuts is that funding should be tied to enrollment. Districts with declining enrollment, such as Toms River, received less aid.

Writer:

Continued From Page 1 as Audrey and Morgan, Los Angeles-based best friends who find themselves in the middle of an international conspiracy thanks to Audrey’s ex-boyfriend, who has a team of assassins following him. It somehow falls on these two to save the world.

In between promotions and getting ready for the premiere, he answered a few questions from Jersey Shore Online.

Jersey Shore Online: The 11-year-old David had head shots, one you described as “Child Don Henley on the Cover of End of the Innocence Album.” What were your creative aspirations growing up in Freehold?

David Iserson: I acted in school plays and small community theater productions and I went to weekly drawing and painting classes for much of my childhood. Growing up, I wanted to one day have my own comic strip.

Something like Bloom County or Calvin and Hobbes. This dream didn’t happen.

JSO: You graduated Freehold Township High School, then Northwestern University. Did you always have your sights set on Saturday Night Live? How did you land that writing gig (and when did you decide that you were more a writer than actor?)? What did you learn about the craft, and about yourself, during that time on SNL? DI: I did not have my sights set on SNL. I moved to Los Angeles to write. Film or television. I took a bunch of improv classes in Hollywood and did a little bit of stand-up, but I was never great at it. I ended up working

as an assistant (getting lunches, fetching coffee) on some short-lived TV shows and a coworker put me in touch with someone who I could submit jokes to for Weekend Update.

I got some jokes on the air and it led to a job there. So, I moved to New York.

I didn’t work very long at SNL, but it was exciting. There was a great creative energy and that place is filled with mind-blowing talent. I learned a ton about how to write a joke, how to write fast and that, sometimes, your best ideas fall flat on their face - sometimes on national television.

JSO: You seemingly went from “Live, from New York…” to Tinseltown. You’ve written for both critically acclaimed and viewer-beloved television shows such as “United States of Tara,” “Mad Men,” and “New Girl.” What was the transition like not only from New York to L.A., but sketch comedy to serial dramas and the 30-minute comedy?

DI: I lived in LA before I worked in New York so moving back wasn’t really a transition. I loved working on so many shows and very different shows. I love writing all sorts of characters and the challenge of doing different things with different tones. But mostly, I love telling different kinds of stories and what all of those shows have in common is that working there meant sitting in a room with a ton of smart, talented people writing stories together.

JSO: You also wrote a young adult novel while writing on your television gigs, Firecracker, about a protagonist Astrid Krieger who lives in a rocket ship in her backyard and plots revenge against those allegedly

conspiring to get her kicked out of prep school while she must suffer in public school.

What did you decide about Astrid? Any more books on the horizon?

DI: Astrid Krieger is a character I’ve long loved and I was searching for the right way to tell a story about her. I had written a series of short stories about her life and when I got the opportunity to write a whole novel, I was very excited. I’m incredibly proud of that book.

But, writing books take forever and it’s hard to balance that and my other work.

So, yes, more books in my future, but it’s moving slow.

JSO: You said in an L.A. Times interview, where you were talking about Firecracker, that you like writing female characters. You wrote the screenplay for “The Spy Who Dumped Me” with Susanna Fogel, who also directed the film. How did you and Susanna come up with the story of Audrey and Morgan, and was it always going to be “Audrey and Morgan” (female leads)? Did you write them with Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon in mind?

DI: Yes, I have spent a lot of my career writing strong female characters, as has Susanna, so writing about these great friends felt natural for both of us. Very shortly after we came up with the idea for the movie, the characters were almost fully formed in our heads and writing them was a lot of fun.

No, we didn’t write them specifically for Mila and Kate but the characters expanded and adapted once we spent more time with Mila and Kate and we shaped them to those

actors.

JSO: What projects do you have lined up?

DI: I’m working on a bunch of fun things… but they’re all secret.

JSO: Neither you nor your wife are from Los Angeles. (David is married to award-winning taxidermist Allis Markham, originally from Madison, Indiana.) What fond memories do you hold of growing up in Freehold, and do you ever get back here to visit? What are your thoughts of the township, and the area in in general, now that you live elsewhere?

DI: Morgan, Kate’s character in The Spy Who Dumped Me, is actually from Freehold as we discover in one scene that I will not spoil. My parents, sister, brother-in-law, nephew and niece all live in Manalapan, so I try to visit them at least once a year.

My great-grandfather moved to Freehold in the 1920s so my roots in central Jersey run deep. It’s very much a part of my identity, though I’ve unlearned my accent (“wuh-ter,” “cawfee.”)

When I visit I venture almost immediately to Chinese food at Szechuan Star on Route 9 and then, for my next meal, pizza at Federici’s.

When you live in LA and are from New Jersey, you get a lot of “Oh, you’re from New Jersey, do you know [some town I’ve never heard of]?” and then you say, “No,” and then there’s not much to talk about after that.

Continued From Page 1 County Superior Court, before Judge Michael T. Collins.

The state will seek 10 years in state prison, including three years and four months parole ineligibility, as part of the plea agreement for first-degree money laundering. Novy will be sentenced Sept. 28.

Novy admitted to stealing millions - the state believes nearly $3 million from at least two dozen victims - from law firm clients, many of whom didn’t have close relatives to guard their

Budget: Continued From Page 1 River school district is pulling $1,157,955 from their surplus, and $1.2 million from maintenance reserve. According to district records, the district has already taken $1.8 million from surplus and $1.4 million from the maintenance reserve for the 2018-9 school year.

However, in taking money from reserves, it means that there will be even less available for emergencies and maintenance in the future, officials said.

It means that the 2019-20 school year would see a $5 million hole in reserves.

Toms River found itself in a similar predicament last year, and was able to recoup funding that was lost. School officials are hoping for a repeat performance.

During a special meeting, the Board of Education approved the district’s plan to take funding from surplus and maintenance. It also submitted an application to the New Jersey Department of Education for restoration of the aid in full.

“We are in a circumstance not of our making,” Board President Russell Corby said. He criticized the funding for mula being used as one that was created during “the first year of the great recession.”

In the near future, residents could see a tax increase of $1,200 a year on the average home, he warned.

According to district records, the state aid for the most recent years have been as follows: • 2009-2010: $71,972,480 • 2010-2011: $62,185,013 • 2011-2012: $66,104,704 • 2012-2013: $67,278,259 • 2013-2014: $67,712,061 • 2014-2015: $68,023,721 • 2015-2016: $68,023,721 • 2016-2017: $68,342,239 • 2017-2018: $68, 342,239 Unless things change, future funding is expected to be: • 2018-19: $65,984,284 • 2019-20: $64,402,399 • 2020-21: $62,425,042 • 2021-22: $59,656,742 • 2022-23: $56,097,500 • 2023-24: $51,945,051 • 2024-25: $47,199,395 According to this schedule, the aid for 2024-25 would be $21 million, or one

interests, or suffered from dementia.

Novy must pay $4 million restitution to victims.

He must also surrender his license to practice law in New Jersey and pay the state an anti-money laundering profiteering penalty of $500,000.

Novy hosted “Inside the Law,” which focused on topics of interest to senior citizens.

He was arrested Oct. 18, 2016.

Anyone who believes they or someone they know is a victim of Novy’s is asked to write to Deputy Attorney General Kara R. Webster in the State Office of Victim Witness Advocacy at WebsterK@njdcj.org, or if they do not have email access, phone 609-376-2444.

third, less than it currently is. If all of the cuts were added together, it would be a loss of $70,685,260 over the course of seven school years.

What’s At Stake A parent in the audience of the meeting, Anna Pollozzo, asked what to expect in September.

“As a parent, I want to know if my kid is going to be in a class with 40 kids next year,” she asked.

Corby explained that taking money f rom su r plus and maintenance will prevent any educational changes for the 2018-9 year.

Business administrator William Doering said that the district was too far into planning the next year to make any changes. Contracts have been signed.

Supplies and 15 new buses were ordered.

“We are creating a hole we can not fill next year,” he said. “We are in serious trouble as a district, and it’s just the beginning.”

Superintendent David Healy warned that there could be some “draconian and necessary” changes in future years. Items like staffing, late buses, courtesy buses, and athletics would be threatened.

“This is a Band-Aid,” he said of using surplus. “I don’t want this to be interpreted as ‘Hey, we made it through another year.’

Next year, we have to pay $5 million just to make up for it.”

Additionally, since the funding change is cumulative, each year will provide the district with less and less aid, he said.

Strategy To Fight Back Several residents in the audience offered suggestions on how to fight back.

Scott Vaughn, the president of the Toms River Education Association, said that everyone needs to be organized as a united front.

“Everybody is a stakeholder, no matter what your title is,” he said.

Former Board of Education member Robert Onofrietti asked if anyone considered filing suit against the state.

“That’s the only way they’ll listen to us,” he said.

Corby said it is being discussed.

Parent Jennifer Howe asked how parents can help.

Healy said there will be a message sent out to parents letting them know.

School Aid Shouldn’t Be Cut While Recovering From Sandy

Capitol Comments Senator Jim Holzapfel 10th Legislative District, Serving Toms River

TRENTON - Senator Jim Holzapfel, Assemblyman Dave Wolfe, and Assemblyman Greg McGuckin (all R-10 th) will introduce legislation to protect Sandy-impacted towns like Brick and Toms River from massive State school aid cuts planned by Trenton.

“Brick and Toms River took a big hit from Sandy,

with homes destroyed, families displaced, and our tax base severely impacted,” said Holzapfel. “Now, while the rebuilding is still underway, Democrats in Trenton are trying to knock us back down again by slashing our school aid. Their proposed school funding cuts are absolutely despicable and need to be stopped.”

Congressman Tom MacArthur voting to pass the final version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019:

She pitched in 27 games. She tossed two complete games. In 154 innings, she allowed 178 hits, walked 71 and struck out 128.

OCC hit .345 as a team and whacked 11 homers. Its staff earned run average was 3.55. In 206 innings, the Vikings allowed 296 hits, walked 88 and struck out 147.

Superstorm Sandy.

“Many of our Ocean County communities have struggled through a years-long rebuilding process that has been difficult on our families, schools, businesses, and property taxpayers,” said Wolfe. “With so much devastation, a lot of unusable or uninhabitable property was reduced in value greatly, shifting a greater tax burden to fewer residents. For Trenton Democrats to come along at this

difficult time and slash our State school aid is absolutely devastating. We’re going to fight their new formula, but we’re also going to push our new bill just in case.”

Under the new legislation proposed by Holzapfel, Wolfe, and McGuckin, any such reductions in aid would be prohibited until the equalized valuation of a district in a county impacted by Superstorm Sandy returns to pre-Sandy levels.

“We’re not asking for spe-

cial treatment for Brick and Toms River, we’re just asking to not be kicked while we’re down by Trenton Democrats,” said McGuckin. “We took the brunt of the worst natural disaster in New Jersey’s history. Our homeowners, who have already been through so much, can’t afford to see their property tax bills skyrocket.

Our legislation will offer our property taxpayer the protections they need until our rebuilding is complete.”

From The Desk Of

WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd ) released the following statement after

Legislative Democrats advanced a bill in Trenton that would redistribute more than $41 million in State school aid from Brick and Toms River to other school districts throughout New Jersey.

In response, Holzapfel, Wolfe, and McGuckin will introduce legislation to prevent reductions in State aid from 2017-2018 school year levels to districts that experienced an erosion of their tax base following

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Blood Donations Saved My Life My name is Evelyn and when I was able to, I donated blood because I knew how vital it was and still is for people who need it.

Years ago, unfortunately, I was told I could no longer donate due to being diagnosed with an extremely rare form of blood cancer, which now requires that I receive blood transfusions almost every week due to very severe anemia.

I just want to thank everybody who makes the sacrifice to donate for people like me, and I praise the efforts, especially now that I know firsthand how important blood donation is.

There is truth in the state that “when you donate blood, you donate life.”

Letters To the The Editor nation, I am requesting Move VA Clinic To Sears Property I just read your article on the proposed site for the Veterans Administration clinic in Toms River (“Toms River Continues Push For New VA Clinic” in the July 21 edition).

Last week I had suggested to a councilman that the old Sears store should be looked at instead of knocking down more trees and causing more congestion on Hooper Avenue. Using the mall would provide a tremendous amount of parking already there, bus transportation already there, and the ability to go into the mall to shop or eat.

Not only that, the building is up, water and electric are there and it is all on one level.

Move the VA office into the Sears building too. One stop easy access and all of the services a veteran may need.

No running from one shop to another.

Even the outside services, like eyeglasses or shoes, can be located in the area.

It would be less money to establish an existing building than it would be to build a new one.

Hopefully, others would agree with me.

Is Taxation A Form Of Legal Thievery?

Because New Jersey has the highest property tax in

every municipal and county governing body to place the following non-binding referendum question “Is taxation a form of legal thievery?” on the ballot before the deadline of Aug. 17.

This question will bring out every registered voter to the ballot box and it will generate the kind of vital discussion needed for a dramatic change of course.

Simply put, because we are the property of the Creator, and not of the State, taxation is legal thievery.

The alternative to forced cooperation [socialism] in the form of taxation is voluntary cooperation [co-operativism] predicated on the law of equal return [payment for services rendered and accepted]. Co-operativism is not volunterism, whereby you act without expecting anything in return. For the government services you want, you supply your labor, or goods, or money in cooperation with others seeking the same services in the context of the law of equal return.

On July 11, I asked my own municipal governing body to move on the ballot question.

On July 12, I asked my own county governing body to act on the question. They have until Aug. 17 to place it on the November ballot. It is now the time for every citizen to do the same with respect to their own municipal and county governing bodies.

Bay Avenue Intersections Too Crowded

I am happy to see that left turn lanes will be installed near the Target and the Michael’s shopping areas. I would like officials to look at 2 other intersections which could use properly timed left turn signals.

First is the intersection of Bay Avenue and Vaughn Avenue.

There is a left turn onto Vaughn arrow for the people driving west on Bay Avenue while oncoming traffic is still stopped. For people driving east on Bay wanting to make a left onto Vaughn, there is a left turn arrow but it corresponds to the green light for oncoming traffic. So drivers have to wait until the oncoming traffic stops before they can make their left.

I think the left turn arrows in both directions should allow for turns at the same time.

Second is the intersection of Bay Avenue and Cedar Grove Road.

If traveling west on Bay Avenue, drivers are able to make a left turn, based on a left turn signal, onto Cedar Grove before oncoming traffic starts.

For travelers traveling east on Bay, there is no left turn arrow for drivers wanting to make a left onto Cedar Grove. They have to wait until all the oncoming traffic stops in order to make the left.

These 2 issues create bottlenecks and I can’t understand why they weren’t done properly to start with.

Six Establishments Adopt Policies Against Drunk Driving, Other Issues LAKEWOOD – The DART Prevention Coalition of Ocean County has helped six Ocean County businesses implement its TIPS initiative to prevent intoxication, underage drinking and dr un k d riving th rough “responsible beverage serving.”

TIPS policies were implemented at

The Clarion Hotel in Toms River, Tuckers Tavern and Plantation Restaurant in Long Beach Island, Breezes Bar and Grill in New Gretna, Oyster Creek Brewery in Waretown, and River Rock Restaurant and Marina Bar in 2018.

All staff are trained in recognizing signs of intoxication, preventing the

sale of alcohol to minors, handling alcohol-related situations, and using proven strategies to prevent alcohol-related problems. DA RT provides the training.

“By implementing a TIPS policy, establishments help minimize the risks associated with alcohol service, pro-

tecting both patrons and staff,” Michele Buldo, Coordinator of the DART Prevention Coalition, said. “It’s important to have local establishments engaged in responsible beverage serving efforts right here in Ocean County.”

JERSEY CORN & TOMATOES

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – While actors put on a performance of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” local gardeners helped set the stage with flowers that could definitely play the part.

The Master Gardeners of Ocean County, in conjunction with Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County, installed containers of garden plants that would have been found in the Elizabethan period. They were located at

the corner of Washington and Robbins streets, downtown, near where the performance was.

The containers were created by Ocean County Masters Gardener volunteers along with garden club members from Sand Dollar Garden Club, Lake Ridge Garden Club, Greenbriar Woodlands and Toms River Garden Club. Each planter had a different theme and was arranged according to the participants’ talents and selection of plants varying in size and height.

In a world where the word “healthy” is tossed around like a salad, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by information about your well-being. To make things simpler for you, we’ve served up some easy-to-digest facts about diet and hearing health. Folate is naturally found in food, whereas folic acid is manmade from folate. This B vitamin is proven to help prevent high-frequency hearing loss, which is the varying inability to perceive high-pitched sounds and consonants. Folic acid decreases the amount of the amino acid homocysteine in your blood by increasing the creation of red blood cells. Too much homocysteine causes hearing difficulty by reducing blood flow to the inner ear. Folic acid is also useful in preventing heart disease, stroke, and dementia.

Older adults need 400 micrograms of

folic acid every day for good health. It is easy to increase your daily intake of the nutrient by eating more of foods like beans, citrus fruits, enriched grains, and dark leafy vegetables. To make it easier, in January 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began requiring manufacturers to add folic acid to food that is labeled as “enriched.” Increasing your intake can be as simple as rolling out of bed and grabbing a quick breakfast.

Just a cup of enriched breakfast cereal with one cup of 1 percent milk, plus three-quarters of a cup of OJ on the side, will put you at 32 percent of your daily requirement of folic acid in one meal.

Talk about starting your day off right!

Folic acid-rich foods like spinach, avocado, strawberries, broccoli, and cantaloupe are hearing helpful foods.

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!

AMI Foundation 10th Annual Tools For Schools Drive

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – The AMI Foundation will be collecting school supplies at all their locations to benefit students in need until August 20.

AMI’s “Tools for Schools” event intends to collect the necessary school supplies for those students who might not be able to get them.

The supply drive will run from July 23-August 20 at all of AMI’s locations in Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean and Monmouth counties.

There will be blue collection baskets in each reception area. You can find the office closest to you at atlanticmedicalimaging.com.

“There are many children right here in our own communities who are not properly prepared for their return to school, simply because they lack the basic supplies like pencils and paper,” said Dr. Peggy Avagliano, President of the AMI Foundation Board of Directors. “We invite the community to join our physicians and employees in donating

much-needed school supplies, and thus help provide these children with an equal opportunity at a quality education.”

If you wish to donate, the supplies needed include: • Pencils • Erasers • Spiral notebooks • Pocket folders • Crayons • Colored markers • Colored pencils • Glue sticks • Highlighters, and • Soft pencil cases.

The AMI Foundation also purchases back packs in addition to the school supply donations. Following the supply drive, the supplies and book bags will be delivered to elementary schools throughout the area. To date, the AMI Foundation has donated 2,500 back packs to area school children in need.

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

St. John’s Wort, Serotonin And Depression

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. St. John’s wort is a beautiful plant with yellow flowers known to ease depression. It’s banned in some countries though.

For a long time, “hypericin,” a compound in the plant was thought to help with the blues, however scientists are noting that another compound in the plant called “hyperforin” plays an even bigger role.

St. John’s wort increases the activity of serotonin. But serotonin isn’t the be-all, end-all of happy brain chemicals. Some research suggests that depression is really tied to dopamine deficiency. If you’d like to understand more about that brain chemical, read my other article posted at my website. It’s called, Have You Stopped Enjoying Life? It Could be Low Dopamine.

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors are dubbed “SSRIs” and these medications increase serotonin activity in your brain. You know them as Prozac, Lexapro, Zoloft and others. Taking SSRI antidepressants along with St. John’s wort is dangerous and the combination should be avoided.

It’s fascinating that St. John’s wort has anti-inflammatory properties similar to a popular drug called Celebrex! This is fascinating. Research has demonstrated that inflammatory chemicals in the brain are high in depressed patients. In fact, some researchers even believe that brain inflammation is the primary cause of depression, with the neurotransmitter changes coming later. It’s possible that this anti-inflammatory action of St. John’s wort could help with depression in addition to its ability to increase serotonin activity. Which reminds me of a warning…

If you combine prescription antidepressants with St. John’s wort, it can be dangerous and may lead to “Serotonin Syndrome,” which is

a medical crisis. Serotonin has to be in balance with other brain chemicals, so the message here is “more is not always better.” Symptoms of the syndrome include increased heart rate and blood pressure, fever, diarrhea, and muscle rigidity. When severe, serotonin syndrome causes seizures, irregular heartbeat, faintness or unconsciousness, and even death.

There are allergies associated with any herb including this one. Finally, due to changes in your liver enzymes, be extremely careful with this herb (or preferably avoid it) if you take any of the following: • Oral Contraceptives • Warfarin • Digoxin • Theophylline • Indinavir • Cyclosporine Treatment for severe depression is not as easy as popping a single pill, or an herbal remedy.

St. John’s wort doesn’t even work well for severe cases.

If you’re feeling depressed, please make sure that you get professional help and make lifestyle or relationship changes if necessary. Depression can lead to fatal consequences and should be taken seriously by everyone in the family. It is fleeting for some of you, and life-long for others. Anhedonia and suicide are linked to severe depression. A friend of a friend committed suicide this past month, and I knew and liked him. I’m sad about this, and so I’m prompted to write this article today. Be sure to tell your loved ones and friends just how much you need them in your life. Treat everyone, even new acquaintances with kindness, you have no idea what they’re suffering with. One kind word, or special text can make all the difference to a person who is empty inside.

Dear Joel, My buddy and I decided to go to lunch at our favorite serve yourself buffet.

Kathy, a coworker invited herself along.

Once we got a plate she started right in, “We’ll sit at that table, the napkins are over there, you don’t need any salt, it’s not good for you.” All this before I even had my fi rst bite. Can you think of something snappy I could say to put her in her place?

Answer Her behavior is certainly unsavory.

I would remind her that you picked a buffet for lunch because you and your buddy like to make choices. Tell her lunch is your downtime; a peaceful hour in the day when you don’t have to do

any thing but pick what you want and enjoy it. You might be polite and thank her for her concern, but remind her that you are an adult.

Adults know that cookies for dinner are bad, but having them for dinner is a perk of being a grown-up. Tell her that being stressed out over lunch is just as bad as adding salt, then tell her you didn’t order “being bossed around” as a side dish.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Drone Rules: What Are The Rules When Flying Drones For Fun?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Michael J. Deem of R.C. Shea and Associates Fly for Fun under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft!

You don’t need permission from the FAA to fly your UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, but you must always fly safely. You may elect to register your UAS to help in the recovery of lost equipment, but this is not required.

The FAA has adopted the following UAS Safety Guidelines: •Fly at or below 400 feet •Be aware of airspace requirements and restrictions •Stay away from surrounding obstacles •Keep your UAS within sight •Never fly near other aircraft, especially near airports •Never fly over groups of people •Never fly over stadiums or sports events •Never fly near emergency response efforts such as fires •Never fly under the influence of drugs or alcohol Flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft The Special Rule for Model Aircraft (P.L. 112-95, Section 336) provides the definition and operating rules for flying a model aircraft.

Model aircraft operators that comply with all of these operational requirements during flight do not have to register their UAS with the FAA. Model aircraft operators must follow these rules to fly under this Rule: •the aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or recreational use (once you start earning money from the use of the drone you have removed yourself from this exception); •the aircraft is operated in accordance with a community-based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization; •the aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds unless otherwise certified through a design, construction, inspection, flight test, and operational safety program administered

by a community-based Michael J. Deem organization; •the aircraft is operated in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft; and •when f lown within 5 miles of an airport, the operator of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at the airport) with prior notice of the operation (model aircraft operators flying from a permanent location within 5 miles of an airport should establish a mutually-agreed upon operating procedure with the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower [when an air traffic facility is located at the airport]) A model aircraft is defined as an unmanned aircraft that is capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere, flown within visual line of sight of the person operating the aircraft and flown for hobby or recreational purposes.

UAS Registration.

If you do not operate exclusively under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, you must: •Register your UAS if it weighs more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds •Label your UAS (PDF) with your registration number and •Read and understand all safety guidelines Registration costs $5 and is valid for 3 years. If you are flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft and you wish to register voluntarily, you should register as a “modeler.” If you are flying under part 107, Section 333, part 91, a public COA, or for non-recreational purposes in general, you should register as a “non-modeler.”

In order to register, you must be: •13 years of age or older (if the owner is less than 13 years of age, a person 13 years of age or older must register the small unmanned aircraft) •A U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The 4th annual “Clear the Shelters” national adoption event will be held on August 18, 1-4 p.m. at both Ocean County Animal Shelters in Manahawkin and Jackson.

“Clear the Shelters” is a nationwide event put on by hundreds of shelters all

across thwe country. Last year saw the adoption of over tan 80,000 dogs and cats.

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

SUMMER SAVINGS

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

The annual event has seen over 150,000 animals adopted since 2015.

“Our goal is to find homes for as many dogs and cats as possible during this

special one day adoption event,” said Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator. “We’re in the midst of our busy season and have a bumper crop of kittens along with many other sweet, adult cats and dogs ready for a second chance.”

During the event, all adoption fees will be waived and every dog and cat adopted will receive a veterinar y exam, age appropriate vaccinations, is spayed/ neutered, and microchipped.

If you’re interested in adopting an animal, take part in the event at one of the two Ocean County locations: the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility located at 360 Haywood Road in Manahawkin, and the Northern Ocean County Animal Facility located at 615 Freemont Avenue in Jackson.

“We have a wide variety of lovable cats and dogs available for adoption.

From all sizes, ages, and breeds, we have a pet suited for everyone,” said Brian Rumpf, Director of Administration for the Ocean County Health Depa r t ment. “Ever y yea r hu nd reds of pets are adopted from the Ocean County Animal Facilities and there’s nothing better than seeing the joy and happi ness these wonder f ul animals bring to their new families.”

For more information, call 732-657-8086 or 609-978-0127 or visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

File The Trade Name With The Ocean County Clerk OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County residents interested in starting a new business can file the Trade Name with the Ocean County Clerk’s office.

“As part of National Small Business Week which runs from April 29 to May 5 we want to encourage Ocean County residents who are starting a business to visit either our Toms River or Stafford Township locations,” said Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella. “We see people daily filing for Trade Names. I applaud them for wanting to invest in their future here in Ocean County.”

Last year more than 500 individuals from Ocean County had their trade name certificate recorded at the County Clerk’s Office as they joined thousands of Americans across the nation in starting a new business.

Individuals conducting or transacting business under any assumed name or designation are required to file a business trade name certificate with the County Clerk’s Office.

Applicants simply complete a registra-

tion form, which states the name, nature, address of the business and the names/ residence addresses of the business owners.

The registration form must be notarized and the fee is $50. Banks or financial institutions require a Trade Name Certificate when opening business accounts.

“The staff at the County Clerk’s Office can help you with this process,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Clerk.

If you are thinking about starting a new business, go to the County Clerk website at clerk.co.ocean.nj.us/tradenames.htm or visit the Clerk’s Toms River Office at 118 Washington St., or the Manahawkin office at 179 South Main St. You can also call the offices at 732-506-5198 or 609-597-1500 for further information.

“So much goes into starting a new business,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little. “The Ocean County Clerk and his staff are there to help with this important step.”

Roadway Changes Expected In Northern Part Of County

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Freeholders went out to bid on a project that will rework an intersection on Hooper Avenue to install left turn lanes out of two popular shopping centers. It was one of several anticipated changes that officials said will make the county’s roadways safer.

Currently, anyone leaving the Target shopping center can’t make a left turn.

They have to go right and take the next jughandle (or make a quick and possibly illegal turnaround in front of Michael’s).

Similarly, anyone coming out of the shopping center where Michael’s is can’t turn left, either. They would have to go right and turn around when possible.

The changes will open up the intersection to both directions of egress, the freeholders said in a press release.

“This is a heavily traveled area of the Hooper Avenue corridor. We believe this modification will have a positive outcome with traffic safety and accessibility,” Freeholder John Kelly said. “We will be improving traffic signals along Hooper Avenue from Toms River into Brick Township.

This project is part of the numerous recommendations made in the updated County transportation master plan that focuses on

upgrades in the four municipalities in the transportation plan.”

The plan looks at the growing population in the northern sections of the county, particularly in Toms River, Brick, Jackson and Lakewood townships. In making this study, the consultant, Stantec Consulting Services, Wall Township, developed forecasts out to 2025 based on information such as socioeconomic data, zoning information, planned developments, approved developments, and certificates of occupancy.

“This plan takes a broader look at our northern roads,” said Freeholder Deputy Director John C. Bartlett Jr., “This is a tool that helps us plan into the future. There are many other projects we will be looking to implement over time.”

Other recent projects include upgrading traffic signals on East County Line Road in Lakewood, and designs to improve Cross Street.

The traffic signal on Hooper was just the latest part of the plan. The county engineer was instructed to seek bids for its redesign at a recent Freeholder meeting.

Work is expected to begin this fall. A press release from last year anticipated that the project would have been done by the spring of 2018.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of Aug 4 - Aug 10

By Jeraldine Saunders

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be mesmerized by mysteries. In the upcoming week you may be attracted to someone or something because you are fascinated by intrigue. Dig up the facts to reveal every secret so that you are completely informed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have the power to design your own attitudes, beliefs and choices. Although the news may be negative, and the tone may be pessimistic you have the ability to be a positive force in the world in the week ahead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may dance to the rhythm of romance in the week to come. Every opportunity to bask in admiration will make your life a little brighter. New friends and contacts may help you realize your dreams.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can’t control what happens in your life, but you can always control what you do with what happens in your life. Honor the rules and remain aboveboard in the week ahead. Steer clear of anything of questionable integrity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep a toothbrush and toothpaste handy if you are going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Accept whatever comes your way with good grace, and scrutinize it, but don’t push your luck too far in the week ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pay it forward. Offering a little kindness won’t detract from your own forward progress and might even make you feel more confident about your own selfworth. Do something nice for someone this week.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It may be challenging to appear cooperative as this week unfolds. You might be tempted to express your rebelliousness by spending money impulsively.

Someone might see you as the answer to their fantasies.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There would be no butterflies if nothing ever changed.

Once you make your bed you must lie in it, but the truth is that once you have rested you will have to make the bed again. Learn to be flexible in the week ahead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You hope everyone thinks you are intelligent, but a scholar’s mortarboard or diploma isn’t a prerequisite. You won’t need to go too far out of your way to appear bright, sharp, and capable in the week to come.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It could be difficult to compromise your principles and ethics in the week ahead. You might not agree with everyone in your circle or community, but you will do the right thing when it is solely a personal choice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Use your gift for gab and originality of thought to convince others of the value of your ideas. Lighthearted teasing and sharing whimsical experiences can be acceptable in some of the most businesslike settings this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your home is a haven of happiness. Workplace emergencies are easily handled. Don’t let passing power struggles get under your skin this week. Escape to a soft couch and home cooked meal, surrounded by loved ones.

the middle of the steamer basket, forming a surface large enough to hold the fish fillets in a single layer.

Place the fish on top of the lemon slices. Arrange the carrots, broccoli and mushrooms evenly around the perimeter of the basket alongside the fish. Sprinkle the fillets evenly with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper, and then sprinkle them evenly with the lemon zest.

As soon as the water is boiling, reduce the heat to maintain an even simmer, carefully place the steamer on top of the pan, and cover the steamer with its lid.

Steam the fish until the fillets look opaque, the tip of a thin knife can be inserted evenly into one, and the fillet can be separated into firm but moist flakes, about 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets. (When lifting off the steamer lid to check, be especially careful to lift the lid away from you, keeping your hands, arms and face clear of the hot steam as it escapes.)

To serve, turn off the heat and carefully remove the basket from the pan, then carefully lift off the lid.

With a spatula, gently lift each fillet and transfer it to a heated serving plate. With a large serving spoon or tongs, distribute the vegetables evenly among the plates. Lightly drizzle a little olive oil over each fillet. Garnish each plate with lemon wedges and the remaining parsley or chervil sprigs, and serve immediately.
