Tree Planting Perfect Way To Honor Environmentalist

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - A who’s who of environmental leadership came out to honor one of their own during a tree-planting memorial service at Traders Cove Marina for Greg Auriem ma, 63, a Brick resident who died in July last year while on a hiking trip in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire.

Auriemma had been battling cancer and took off on the 10-day, 30 mile hiking trip after getting news that his condition had improved, said Jeff Tittel, Director of the NJ Sierra Club, at the time.

Tittel came to Traders Cove to pay his respects and speak about the passion Auriemma had for protecting the environment.

“I was always getting a phone call from Greg on Friday afternoons to g ive me word s of encou r agement for whatever we were doing,” Tittel said to the gathering of Auriemma’s family, friends and fellow environmentalists.

Auriemma, who was an attorney, helped to restart the Ocean County Chapter of the Sierra Club some 20 years ago, and as its chair, worked

Flood Victims Warned To Be Wary Of Contractor Scams

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - It was a scene that has become familiar at the shore over the past six years: residents crowded into a room asking officials for answers and help in fixing their flooded homes.

Only these weren’t Superstorm Sandy survivors; they were mostly residents of Greenbriar 1 who attended a storm symposium at their clubhouse after 114 homes were flooded there during an Aug. 13 storm that dumped some eight inches of

rain in two and a half hours.

The township police department called for the meeting to help the victims not to be “victimized twice,” by employing fraudulent contractors to repair their homes, said Police Chief James Riccio, who gave opening remarks to the full room.

“It’s unfortunate we have to be here under these circumstances, but we want to share what we’ve learned after going through it during Sandy,” Riccio said. “A disaster like this brings out the

best in people and it brings out the worst in people.”

Nearly 20 officials were seated at the front of the room, which included representatives from Governor Phil Murphy’s office, various departments from Ocean County, the State Police, Brick Police Department and non-profit groups.

Brick Detective Michael Bevacqua, who specializes in fraud investigations, said that contractors would have to sign in at the

Protest Over Supreme Court Pick Brings Both Sides

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER - Fourteen county residents came together on Washington Street despite confusion regarding whether a rally to oppose the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh by President Donald Trump, was actually taking place or not.

Of the 14 present, 10 shared

their views with Jersey Shore Online, opposing the nomination while four others explained their view of why Kavanaugh’s nomination should be allowed its due course. The gathering held provided an impromptu forum of civil discourse between both sides.

“It’s appropriate that we have planted this tree at Traders Cove because Greg spent a lot of years here with Save Barnegat Bay to protect and preserve it as open space,” Tittel said.

The last environmental issue the men worked on together for the Sierra Club was to fight a proposed restaurant to be built at the marina and park, Tittel said.

Even when Auriemma was feeling sick, he showed up at the Sierra Club meetings, and Tittel said that his friend had a big part in “Barnegat Bay finally getting cleaned up.”

“In the Jewish religion, a tree stands for life,” Tittel said. “It is fitting to plant a tree because it is a symbol of life moving forward. Plus, we’re tree huggers,” he joked.

“The price of stewardship is vigilance, keep doing what’s right, and that’s what Greg did,” he said.

Willie deCamp, president of Save Barnegat Bay, said that one of the joys of his career was working with Auriemma.

“We first met when he was in the front row of a Save Barnegat Bay meeting to save Traders Cove,” he said. “He was in the front row and wouldn’t stop asking questions and giving his opinion, but

nursing and

his questions and his opinions were very strong.”

He said their friendship benefitted deCamp since Auriemma convinced him to attend the climate marches in New York City and in Washington D.C. “It was a revelation how much you learn at these marches,” deCamp said. Auriemma cared about environmental issues everywhere, not just those that affected Ocean County or New Jersey, he said.

After deCamp’s comments, Tittel came back to speak about Auriemma’s visit to the White House after Superstorm Sandy.

Ocean County was devastated, Tittel recalled, and Auriemma’s lagoon-front home in Brick had also been damaged, but Auriemma worked tirelessly to help raise money for people who needed a place to stay or furniture for their house.

“I got a call from the White House and they asked me of all the people I knew who were impacted by Sandy, who was the biggest inf luence? There was no question, it was Greg, so he went to the White House and met the president,” Tittel said.

President Obama recognized Auriemma as a “Champion of Change” for his efforts, Tittel said.

Auriemma’s long-time partner, Joyce Isaza, said the memorial service would have meant everything to him.

“It is a really big honor for him to have everyone around him that he loved,” she said.

“The Brick Police Department will have a zero tolerance for fraudulent contractors,” he said.

“We’re gonna be out there.”

Everyone is in a rush to get their homes fixed, but good contractors are not usually available the very next day, Bevacqua said.

While hiring a contractor, he warned the audience to have a contract with a start/end date, and said that a reputable contractor would not ask for big deposits upfront.

“They might just want some money for materials, and pay by check,” he said.

For example, $500 upfront would not be out of order for phase 1, sheetrock installation; another deposit for phase 2 electrical work could be expected; and residents could expect to pay the final amount during phase 3 when the work is completed, Bevacqua said.

“There’s nothing we can do about the quality of work, for a contractor who does crap work,” he said. “Some Sandy ‘contractors’ became ‘contractors’ the next day because they knew there was money.”

Dan Kelly from the Governor’s office said his office wants to partner with local organizations to “provide any services we can.”

He said that the flooding was not a “hurricane-level event” from the standpoint of victims receiving federal assistance.

Kelly warned that it would be “an uphill climb” for any of the residents to obtain federal grant money, but urged flood victims to hold on to their documentation, receipts, photos and invoices

and to treat their damaged homes as if they would be filing an insurance claim.

Before the officials could finish introducing themselves, some of the residents started shouting questions from the audience.

Greenbriar resident Kevin Smith said their homeowner’s insurance policies should be responsible for paying for the flood damage.

“This community is 50 years old and it’s never happened before,” he said. “If the insurance companies felt it should be in our best interest to have flood insurance, even though we’re not in a flood zone, I wasn’t advised to get flood insurance. It’s doubletalk,” he said.

He said the residents need resources to get back on their feet.

“What if this happens again? Can you –Photos by Judy Smestad-Nunn Smith even fathom that we spend $60,000- $70,000 Greenbriar resident Kevin Smith talks about how the homeowners’ insurance policies to put our houses back together again only should pay for the damages.

Stafford Creates Goals For Knocking Out Substance Abuse

By Kimberly Bosco STAFFORD – Stafford Township officials and members from the DART Prevention Coalition came together for a Substance Abuse Needs Assessment, to determine the most pressing needs of the township in terms of alcohol and drug use.

Held at the Bay Avenue Community Center, the meeting brought together various individuals from the township’s Municipal Alliance, including Betti Anne McVey, Stafford Township Recreation Director.

McVey explained that a needs assessment is performed every five years to reassess and address the township’s needs as they evolve with time. The previous assessment determined that underage drinking was the most popular issue in Stafford, she said.

Also present at the meeting were numerous concerned residents and members from the DART Prevention Coalition of the Institute for Prevention and Recovery at RWJBarnabas Health. DART facilitated the needs assessment in order to gather local input that would help them work with the township to create accurate and helpful substance abuse prevention programs.

“The DART Prevention Coalition focuses on preventing underage drinking, prescription drug abuse and the illegal use of marijuana and tobacco in Ocean County.

DART is comprised of community leaders including law enforcement and government officials, educators, business owners, substance abuse professionals, clergy and youth,” according to Abigail Thompson of DART. DART has partnered with the Ocean County Health Department, LBI Health Department, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, and NJ National Guard Counterdrug Taskforce to conduct various needs

assessments throughout the county. The township’s Municipal Alliance falls under the jurisdiction of the Ocean County Health Department, according to McVey. The county hopes to use the findings to not only create resources and prevention programs, but also to collect county-wide data on the substance abuse trends in the county.

“The analysis of this information is securely released to towns and further release of this information is at the discretion of individual towns. Our needs assessment process includes a variety of methods, including community surveys, focus groups, and key informant interviews,” according to DART’s website.

This facet of the needs assessment was simply a focus group discussion between township residents and officials as to what they all considered to be the most pressing needs in terms of drug and alcohol abuse.

Sitting around a table in the community center, DART was able to collect information about Stafford’s substance abuse trends through resident’s shared personal experiences.

While Officer Christopher Fritz of the Stafford Township Police Department noted that he believes underage drinking to remain the number one substance abuse issue in town, the residents spoke up about other concerns, including marijuana use and the increasing popularity of vape devices.

With new substance abuse trends cropping up, such as JUULs (a kind of e-cigarette) among the younger generations, Thompson noted that the county also performs smaller assessments within the five-year period between formal needs assessments to accurately track how certain trends are progressing over time.

Governor TRENTON - Governor Phil Murphy signed A2187 into law. Known as “Jake’s Law,” the bill incentivizes counties to build inclusive playgrounds for children and adults with disabilities. The term “Jake’s Law” refers to Jake’s Place, a playground in Cherry Hill, which was created in honor of Jacob Cummings-Nasto, who passed away due to complications of heart surgery at the age of two and a half. He was born with hypoplastic heart syndrome and the park was a preferred place for physical

therapy.

“No child should lack access to playgrounds based on their physical abilities,” said Governor Murphy. “I am proud that New Jersey is leading by example as an inclusive state through this act, ensuring our great state is a place that welcomes all 9 million of us.”

“The board and donors of Build Jake’s Place is grateful to Governor Murphy for signing “Jake’s Law,” ensuring thousands of New Jersey children, of every ability, a place to play,” said Jim Cummings, Jacob’s grand-

The scope of damage and unique challenges faced by this population that is both outside of the f lood zone, and occupied largely by sen iors on f i xed incomes, necessitates all available resources from the federal government.

playgrounds are accessible for children of all physical and mental abilities.

Bill sponsors include Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald, Assembly members Pamela Lampitt and Gabriela Mosquera, and Senators James Beach and Nilsa Cruz-Perez.

DOES YOGA POSE A PROBLEM FOR EYES?

With the rise in yoga’s popularity in the United States, some researchers have wondered whether headstands pose a threat to the health of the eyes of yoga practitioners.

The concern is that this up-ended posture raises the intraocular pressure (IOP) of fluid in the eye that is so often associated with glaucoma. According to one Indian study, when yoga practitioners did headstands, on average, their IOP temporarily doubled. In another study, common head-down yoga poses (such as the downward-facing dog) increased IOP among those with and without glaucoma. While brief spikes in IOP should not raise concern, repeated assumption of these postures can lead to progressive eye damage over time and might promote or worsen glaucoma and other eye conditions.

Glaucoma is a common eye disorder which damages the optic nerve. The early stages of glaucoma are undetectable, and experts estimate that only half of the people who currently have glaucoma even realize that they are affected. While there is no cure for glaucoma, many medications and procedures exist that can help to slow the disease or stop it altogether.

Feds Must Work Efficiently To Build New VA Hospital The federal government needs to work quickly, but intelligently, to build a new Veterans Administration clinic in Ocean County.

It’s been said that some things on the government level move at a snail’s pace. The larger the bureaucracy, the slower it goes. So, if that’s true, then we probably won’t see a new VA hospital finished in Ocean County for a decade. After all, a location still has to be picked.

Needs assessed. Plans drawn up and approved.

I expect that the county – and whatever local municipality winds up hosting it – will expedite all approvals so that they don’t provide any speed

bumps along the route. I’m more worried about the federal government.

I don’t think anyone would want the Veterans Administration to rush into a project and make mistakes, but I think I speak for everyone when I urge them to be efficient in the process. They must make a concerted effort to choose the perfect spot for veterans. They must build a facility that can truly address the needs of an aging population in Ocean County. And they must do it without wasting money.

It’s an enormous undertaking, and I hope they realize how important it is.

In Response To Attempts To Charge Trump With Treason

After reading Mr. Molinari’s opinion I thought that I might give him some of the suggestions that he asked for.

First and foremost, the definition of treason in terms of any federally elected official is defined by the United States Constitution, not by Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary, or any dictionary for that matter, and it reads as follows: “Treason against the United

States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.”

The author also cited Article II, Section 4 of the US Constitution, which is known as the Disqualification Clause that enumerates what a sitting US president can be impeached for, which is “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Mr. Molinari’s opinion sug-

mitted treason by aiding and comforting “Putin’s Russia.”

He did not elaborate on exactly what that entailed, but we might assume that it has to do with collusion since that was the reason that the special prosecutor has put in place. What must be understood here is that even if there was some sort of collusion on Trump’s part, that doing so is not an illegal act, and even if it was, the act would have happened while Trump was a candidate for office, not as a sitting President of the United States, so it’s questionable as to whether a president can be impeached for something that was done prior to being sworn in.

What has also been lost in all of the noise is that Russia, while not exactly an ally of the United States, is not officially considered an enemy as is Iran or North Korea, thus one could not give aid or comfort to Russia under the Constitutional definition of treason.

In terms of sedition, once again Mr. Molinari is incorrect since sedition, which isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Constitution, is considered constitutionally protected free speech and is in no way illegal (SEE: Brandenburg v. Ohio [1969]), and thus does not qualify as a high crime or misdemeanor.

If Mr. Molinari would like to see an example of aiding and comforting the enemy he might want to look at the previous president, who, under cover of the night, gave billions of dollars over to Iran without consulting congress, and he also gave them the ability to make nuclear weapons by allowing that country to properly refine uranium, all the while its leaders were calling for the death of America and threatening Israel with nuclear annihilation.

Iran is considered by most civilized countries around the world to be the leader in terrorism as it funds the various factions around the planet to aid them in their endeavors, yet Mr. Obama

idea to give Iran nuclear capabilities, and that somehow that deter them from using the technology to make nuclear bombs.

Bill Clinton said the same thing about North Korea, and of course we know the history of how that worked out.

President Obama also committed a high crime when he signed an Executive Order called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which effectively made law, something that presidents are expressly forbidden to do.

Only congress can make law.

The president can only agree to it and sign it or veto it.

If we were to use the dictionary’s definition of treason as described by Mr. Molinari as being “the offense of acting to overthrow one’s government,” then again he might want to look to the former Administration since evidence has shown that it used the FBI, DOJ, and the IRS to spy on innocent US citizens, and as a means of throwing the presidential election in favor of Hillary Clinton.

If colluding with Russia was the crime that the Democrats claim that it is, then both the Clinton campaign and the DNC would be guilty of it since they colluded with a British agent, who colluded with Russian agents, who then sold them a dossier of completely false information meant to discredit Donald Trump. In effect they colluded with another country to manipulate the results of the election.

If ever there has been a more blatant acts of treason, sedition, disloyalty, and treachery against our government I would like to see that case.

In conclusion, there is no evidence or proof that President Trump has levied war against the United States, given aid or comfort to any enemy, and nor has he in any way committed any act of treason or committed any high crimes or misdemeanors, because if he did it is likely that the Mueller investigation would have brought that out by now if for no

other reason than it would be compelled to tell Congress that impeachment should move forward immediately, and even if that wasn’t the case, given the enormous amounts of leaks that have come from the office of that special prosecution, there is no way something that big would not have gotten out by now.

So, my suggestion to Mr. Molinari is that instead of picking up a dictionary he should perhaps consider taking a course in basic civics, which might set him straight on how our Democrat Republic works as outlined in our Constitution that sets the Rule of Law. Steven J. Baeli Berkeley

Freeholders Should Pay Legal Fees On Dec. 8, 2017, Monmouth County defendants, which includes Freeholders Thomas Arnone, Lillian Burry, former Freeholder Gary Rich, and former Freeholder, now Assemblywoman Serena DiMaso, were found to be in Contempt of Court and sanctioned for their willful and intentional violation of a court order entered by the Hon. Brian R. Martinotti, United States District Judge for the District of New Jersey. The Court found that their arguments that the valid court order restricted their First Amendment rights and that they were afforded absolute immunity for their conduct to be without merit.

In his decision, the Hon. Brian R. Martinotti quoted the Third Circuit Court of Appeals: “A fundamental principle of the legal system is that all orders and judgments of courts must be complied with promptly.”

This order was entered in open court, with the consent of Freeholder Arnone, Freeholder Burry, Assemblywoman DiMaso, and former Freeholder Gary Rich, whose attorney appeared

on their behalf. In fact, the Court found that “sealing the report was necessary,” and ordered it to remain sealed. Notwithstanding this valid court order, Freeholder Arnone, Freeholder Burry, Assemblywoman DiMaso, and former Freeholder Gary Rich proceeded to make public statements and allow for portions of the sealed document to be read out loud at a public hearing of the Freeholders.

Due to their flagrant violation of the Court’s Order, the County Defendants have been ordered by the Court to pay the legal fees and costs associated with bringing this conduct to the attention of the Court. The Court stated that the County Defendants “do not deny they have revealed portions of the contents of the Report and cannot at this point undo what has been done,” and the Court properly imposed monetary sanctions for their egregious conduct.

As Freeholders, Thomas Arnone, Lillian Burry, Serena DiMaso, and Gary Rich represented the citizens of this county in a position of public trust. In so serving, they took an oath in which they swore to support the constitution of this state, the Constitution of the United States, and the law generally.

By violating a valid order, they violated that sacred oath and the public’s trust.

I hereby call for the public censure of Freeholder Arnone, Freeholder Burry, former Freeholder Rich, and Assemblywoman DiMaso for their conduct.

The Monmouth County taxpayers should not have to pay for their willful and intentional misconduct. Freeholder Arnone, Freeholder Burry, Assemblywoman DiMaso, and former Freeholder Rich should reimburse the county for having to pay legal fees and costs that were ordered by the Court. Should they refuse, they must resign from their office for placing this burden on the shoulders of our taxpayers.

Freeholder John P. Curley

Supporters of President Donald Trump, Mark Sisler, left, joins Tara Sisler, Mike Rosell and Tom Ferreri each of Bayville to support the nominee for supreme court justice.

Kavanaugh is being considered for the opening on the United States Supreme Court and a series of nationwide rallies called “Unite For Justice,” took place on Aug. 26. The downtown Toms River rally was one of three in the state that had been scheduled by MoveOn.org with support from partnering agencies that are involved in healthcare and environmental causes but the organizing website dropped the Toms River location the day before.

Those who came out to oppose Kavanaugh were not aware of the event’s apparent cancellation. Likewise, those who came out to support the president’s nominee were expecting a bigger turnout by the opposition.

The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to begin confirmation hearings on Kavanaugh on Sept. 4.

Those who oppose Kavanaugh such as Ocean County Green Party Chairman Thomas Cannavo of Beachwood say he will rule against reproductive freedom, health care, the environment, voting rights, workers’ rights, LGBTQ rights, and immigrant rights, and are calling on U.S. senators to block the appointment.

Cannavo was also promoting his organization’s rally set for 1 to 4 p.m. on Sept. 15 in downtown Toms River called a “March for Peace: End Wars.” That event will include a march followed by a rally with live music and speakers advocating for peace. “We need to express our views,”

Cannavo said.

Beachwood resident Bill Trulby said “I have no problem with him (Kavanaugh) as a person but I don’t think the president should have the ability to put in a person who is 50 something and is a person who will have a lot of influence on the supreme court for the next 30 years. We will remember in November.”

Trulby said he researched Kavanaugh and he had concerns about the president’s nomination given the circumstances of recent legal issues that could lead to Trump’s indictment or possible impeachment.

Sandford Josephson, Manchester, noted similar concerns. “He should not be allowed to have his nominee heard in the Senate at this time.

Republicans will be complicit with this if it goes forward.” Josephson is hopeful the nomination might not pass. “All you need is one (Republican) to flip it.”

Waretown resident Roseanne DePasquale has been attending recent rallies opposing the president’s policies and was present to lend her voice on two fronts, one sharing her view opposing the nomination and leading supporters in a protest song or two.

“I don’t see how this president can nominate anyone right now when he may be being brought up on criminal charges. I think this should wait until after the midterm election,” DePasquale said.

Tom Ferreri of Bayville felt differently. He attended the rally to find out why there would be opposition to the nomination process.

“How can you be against this? How do you know how he will vote on a given issue? He will vote according to an interpretation of law. He is a constitutionalist,” Ferreri said of Kavanaugh.

Mark Sisler, his wife Tara, and Mike Rosell, each

of Bayville, came out to share their view which was in support of the president’s nomination.

“I think everyone is entitled to their opinion but this is a legal process. I didn’t like it when Obama was president but once he was elected I accepted it. I think this nomination stands for itself. I don’t see him as mean spirited. For those afraid he will reverse Roe Vs. Wade, he can’t change that. He is only one person on the bench,” Sisler said.

Sitting off to the side of the morning activity, typing on his laptop was Steve Monvay who was unaware of the planned rally and who had come out to sit on the steps and do some writing. The township resident who moved to the United States decades ago from Hungary was pleased to see the civil conversation between the two sides. He also lamented on the passing of Sen. John McCain.

“Trump is ignorant and a racist. You see a lot in the people he has picked to be around him,” Monvay said. “I’m Hungarian and I moved here when I was 14. The president of Hungry was a fascist. Trump will be meeting with the prime minister of Hungary soon. I am glad to see people come out and speak their views.”

Rep. Thomas McArthur (R-3rd District) provided a prepared statement prior to the rally in support of the nominee. His office is a short distance away from the rally point within the Toms River Township municipal building.

“Brett Kavanaugh is exactly the type of judge who would be a great asset to our nation’s highest bench. He was confirmed to his current post with bipartisan support and I expect him to be confirmed to the Supreme Court with support from both parties. I would encourage Democrats to give him a fair and open hearing, rather than obstructing him at every turn, simply because he was nominated by President Trump.”

Abuse: Continued From Page 6 In order to address the consistent issue with underage drinking, Officer Fritz listed some of the programs already in place to educate kids about the dangers of substance abuse, including the STYLE program in Southern Regional Middle School and High School; Second Step in 3rd-6th grades; Not Even Once in 11th and 12th grades; and Project Aware for elementary schools. Each of these programs addresses a different

approach of substance abuse prevention in different age groups.

Thompson noted that this meeting was just one facet of how DART goes about collecting data for the needs assessment.

The results will not be released until the county collects all the necessary data.

Statewide Litter Survey Shows A 53 Percent Drop In Trash On Streets And Highways TRENTON –The New Jersey Clean Communities Council (NJCCC) today issued the findings of a comprehensive report that shows litter along streets and highways in the state has been reduced by 53 percent over the past 13 years.

“Litter is unsightly and can impact quality of life.

Litter cleanup is a crucial part of protecting our natural resources,” said Assistant Commissioner Mark Pedersen of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Site Remediation and Waste Management Program, which administers the Clean Communities Program Fund.

The study, conducted by Environmental Resources Planning, LLC of Gaithersburg, MD (ERP), shows that municipalities and counties across the state have effective litter abatement programs in place. The study results were based off a litter survey conducted in 2004, and the follow-up study conducted this year of 94 roadways statewide.

“This reduction was broadly seen throughout New Jersey: in all regions, all locales, 18 of our 21 counties and 93 percent of the sites surveyed,” said NJCCC Executive Director Sandy Huber. “It is important to note this survey did not include our beaches, which may show a different composition of litter.”

ERP researchers attribute the reduction of litter to state Clean Communities programs that have been strengthened since 2004. With a solid funding base provided by the state Clean Communities Act, NJCCC has expanded its network of Clean Communities coordinators, established a coordinator training program through the Rutgers

Office of Continuing Professional Education, and set up an online statistical report system designed to track the progress of local programs.

NJCCC has also partnered with the state Department of Environmental Protection and the state Department of Transportation (DOT) to administer the Adopt-a-Beach and Adopt-a-Highway programs, encouraging the volunteer cleanup of public lands. Based on information provided by the 2004 Litter Survey, NJCCC implemented a specific and ongoing “Slam Dunk the Junk” campaign to remind people put trash in litter or recycling bins, and not on the ground.

Significant findings of the report include: The largest volume of debris in New Jersey is from vehicles and construction, equaling 18.2 percent of the total litter spotted.

Littered paper was second at 14.8 percent, followed by beverage containers at 14.1 percent.

“Cups, lids and straws” were 10.3 percent, followed by bags and shrink wrap at 9.8 percent.

There is an upward trend in the amount of tire scraps littering the state, with researchers deeming it “the most littered item of 2017.”

Recycling education remains important, with nearly 29 percent of the littered items qualifying as “recyclables,” such as beverage containers, business papers and boxes.

Pedestrians and motorists between the ages of 11 and 34 were found to be the most likely to intentionally litter in New Jersey, accounting for nearly 70 percent of all deliberate littering.

Litter: Continued From Page 10 mendations to the NJCCC in the ongoing battle against litter. According to Stein, the goal is to develop specific abatement programs that address the most littered items, target the demographic of New Jersey most likely to litter, and identify “hotspots” where there is increased litter.

According to Huber, based on the findings of the report, NJCCC will look to expand litter abatement partnerships with stakeholders such as governmental entities, non-government organizations, and industry.

“There must be further emphasis on successful programs as Adopt-a-Highway and Adopta-Beach, while tracking the most frequently found items of litter,” Huber said.

Stein agreed. “This will help to direct the focus of litter abatement programs more effectively,” he said.

The report includes recommendations that will continue to decrease litter in the state including: Monitor and enforce littering violations caused by improperly secured trash on recycling collection vehicles during the collection and transportation process.

Track the number of citations issued and fines paid. This will help the public understand the importance that police and judges place on the seriousness of litter violations. Income from fines and enforcement actions should go directly into municipal and county Clean Communities accounts.

Monitor and enforce trash cans set at the curb.

Cans without lids were observed spreading

The Brick Times, September 1, 2018, Page 11 litter while this survey was being conducted.

Moreover, recycling carts should continue to replace open-top recycling bins, reducing residential litter blowing away.

Use more hidden cameras where widespread littering and illegal dumping occur.

Ensure that all funds generated by material restriction taxes or fees continue to be dedicated solely to litter abatement programs.

Consider amendments to the 2008 Clean Communities Program Act that will support recommendations and ensure a stable future for New Jersey Clean Communities.

According to DOT, over the last six years, collectively, the DOT, Adopt-a-Highway teams and prison inmate details have picked up between 3.5 tons to 5 tons of litter annually.

“There are still littered areas that need to be addressed, but the data from this survey shows that their efforts are paying off,” Stein said.

Currently, the state DOT is funding up to 10 crews with 10 inmates each working nearly full time to pick up litter. Over the last several years, the DOT has nearly doubled the use of this program. DOT crews have also been working to clean New Jersey’s interstate and major state roads.

DOT said the partnership between the NJCCC and the state’s “Adopt a Highway” program has encouraged more volunteers to clean up roadways, enhancing the effort of litter pick up by state workers and prison inmates.

“Adopt a Highway contributes to the cleanliness of state roads and calls attention to the need to keep the state clean,” Stein added.

Add bullying to the list of reasons to keep kids’ hearing health in top shape.

Hearing-impaired youth of school age appear to be bullied more than their typical-hearing counterparts, per a University of Texas at Dallas study published in the journal of Exceptional Children.

The study, “Effect of Hearing Loss on Peer Victimization in School-Age Children,” surveyed 87 participants ages 7 to 18 who wore hearing aids or cochlear implants and found that: • Nearly half of respondents – compared to approximately 28% of adolescents in the general population – reported being bullied.

• The nature of the bullying experienced by hearing-impaired youth mirrored what their peers with other special needs have faced.

• Hearing-impaired youth were even more likely to report feeling socially excluded – over 25% of respondents compared to 5% of youth generally.

These findings parallel published reports of fewer invitations to social events, lower quantity and quality of friendships, and higher loneliness in children and adolescents with hearing loss “shared the study’s authors in a UT Dallas news release.

Auditory-based communication diff iculties can lead to missed jokes, conversation gaps, or other challenges affecting peer relationships, researchers speculated in the news release. Added investigator Andrea War ner-Czyz, Ph.D. “Friendships are important to most young people, but I believe they are especially important to children with hearing loss. Anything parents can do to facilitate social interaction and friendship and letting them learn how to be a friend and who is a friend is critical.”

Cayenne Stopped My Bleeding In 30 Seconds

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

You read all kinds of things on Dr. Google, eh? For sure I do while I’m researching what I’m going to write for you each week.

I read some interesting articles last year which I made a mental note of. One was about cayenne pepper and how it could stop bleeding. I stored this fascinating detail in the back of my mind, should I ever cut myself again in the kitchen… which tends to happen more frequently than I care to admit.

It came to pass one night when I was in a hurry again. I cut myself on an onion. The month before it was from cutting bread with a serrated knife that slipped. As a writer, you’d think I’d wear gloves or slow down!

I did my usual things: • Held my arm above my head • Put an ice cube on it • Took a Tylenol to dull the aftermath pain • Squeezed my finger • Wrapped it in a cold, wet towel • Ran around the house yelling, “I’m bleeding!”

• Prayed • Found Sam and whined that I was in a hurry again • Promised myself I would slow down in the kitchen • Swore like a trucker Nothing worked this time, the bleeding was pretty ugly. But then I remembered the cayenne pepper stories that I read on Dr. Google (lol!) and found a bottle of cayenne liquid extract in my supplement cabinet. It’s sold with a dropper. I drew up a dropperful

of this, closed my eyes and waited for the burn, then squeezed it onto my bleeding finger. Nothing happened. I tried again. It was an epic fail.

Then I thought of using the actual cayenne pepper and rummaged around my spice cabinet to find my cayenne pepper (powdered). Mind you, I’m doing this all left-handed because my husband Sam was too freaked out and more in favor of driving me to an urgent care center. But I’m a little doctor-phobic, so instead, I dumped a generous amount of cayenne pepper onto a paper towel.

Here’s where I found my bravery SNP, because as this is happening, I’m noodling this thought, “Who in their right mind would literally pour cayenne pepper onto a painful, oozing cut?” After 30 minutes of fussing with it, feeling like I have nothing to lose at this point, I went ahead and did the unthinkable. I dipped it!

It stung, no lie. So for the first 15 seconds, I continued ONLY with the last 2 bullets (see above). By second 30, the bleeding had almost completely stopped! I couldn’t believe it. Cayenne pepper has been studied for its medicinal actions on prostate or breast cancer, multiple myeloma, migraines, psoriasis, neuropathy and more.

I’ll share more details if you sign up for my free newsletter. Peppers are a nightshade so if you’re allergic to those, please avoid. In the meantime, you should start sprinkling cayenne pepper onto your eggs and avocado toast. Keep it in a safe place in case you need it for a minor finger cut.

Rushing Holidays

Dear Joel, Happy Halloween! And while we’re at it, Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! What is it with these stores?!?! Why do I want to shop for Christmas trees when I’m still using my beach chairs? I remember not too many years ago, you waited to see the holiday merchandise, now I really can’t remember what month it is half the time. Does this bother you?

Answer: Oh my, I don’t want to sound like the Grinch, but yes, yes, yes. It really bothers me to see the stores rushing along the holidays. I feel like it takes away all the magic of the upcoming season and interrupts you enjoying the season you’re experiencing. SLOW DOWN, live in

the moment, go to the beach in summer, pick apples in the fall, and sip eggnog in the winter. I know there are many crafty-types who need to get an early start on their projects, but for the rest of us, we don’t need to be choosing Happy New Year’s hats in September. I can’t make it stop, but I can recommend that you pace yourself. Smell the roses, then the sun lotion, then the turkey, then the pine cones.

Although he looked toward the masters for inspiration it was from the 19th and 20th century American Artists that he drew his strongest stylistic foundation. His finished works strongly reveal a close affinity to Wyeth, Eakins, Homer, and Hopper.

Robinson is the author of Lessons in Re-

alistic Watercolor and his work has been featured in The Artist’s Magazine, The Pastel Journal, Watercolor Magic, American Art Collector, Fine Art Connoisseur and on the cover of American Artist. Mario’s work is widely collected by both private and public collectors. His solo exhibition “Recent Watercolors” opens September 6, 2018 at the Bernarducci Gallery in NYC. Admission is free and forms will be available to those who wish to join. Yearly dues are $25.

Inside The Law Is Your Property Being Properly Assessed?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates In a prior article, we talked about how the basis of a residential real estate tax appeal is whether the property is being assessed by the municipal tax assessor greater than the property’s true market value. One of the issues in making this determination is how the tax assessment established by tax assessor equates to the true value of the property.

In all municipalities in New Jersey, there is what is called the “equalization ratio”. This is the number, expressed as a percentage, developed by the local County Tax Board to equalize the difference in tax assessments between the various towns in the county. The purpose of the equalization ratio is to ensure that each town pays it fair share of the county taxes. This imbalance occurs because towns reassess or revaluate their tax assessments at different times. Thus, a town that reassesses its real property assessments in the current year will have different real estate values than a town that reassessed four years ago. In a rising market, properties in the town that just reassessed would have higher values than those in a town that had not re-assessed. The equalization ratio for each town can be obtained from the Tax Board in each county or the municipal tax assessor. In Ocean County it is available on the website for the Ocean County Board of Taxation.

Accordingly, you must look at the equalization ratio for your town and use that with the tax assessment to determine what the town is showing as the market value for the property. To do

this you must divide the assessment by the equalization ratio. For Marc S. Galella Esq. exa mple, a prop e rty that is assessed at $200,000.00 in a town where the equalization ratio is 96% would have a market value of $298,333.00. In another town where the equalization ratio is 86%, the town is showing that the market value is $232,558.00.

In other words, to determine what the town is claiming as the property value you need to look at both the assessment and the equalization ratio. This number would then be the value to use in determining whether you should consider filing a tax appeal. For example, if your property is assessed by the town at $350,000 and your property has a market value of $360,000, you may think that you are being under-assessed and thus think it is not worthwhile to file a tax appeal. However, if the equalization ratio for your town is 84%, then your property value, as determined by the town, would be approximately $407,000. This means that the town is assessing your property for $47,000 more than its market value and a tax appeal may be an option.

Because the laws and procedures regarding tax appeals are complicated, it is a good idea to retain the services of an attorney to assist you in filing and pursuing the appeal. R. C. Shea and Associates has a long history of obtaining reductions in tax assessments for our clients.

Partnership For A Drug-Free NJ Seeks Volunteers For Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day Initiative

MILLBURN — The Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey is looking for volunteers throughout the state to help spread awareness of the dangers of prescription opioids and actions that can be taken to protect families and communities from addiction as part of the third annual Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day on Saturday, Oct. 6.

In 2016 — the most recent year with complete data — more than 42,000 people in the United States and 2,000 people in New Jersey lost their lives from an opioid overdose. The final death total for 2017 is expected to be even higher, and New Jersey is on pace to have

more than 3,000 drug overdose deaths in 2018.

Through this statewide single-day initiative, volunteers will spread the message about the potential for dependency on prescribed pain medicine and its link to heroin use rates in our state. The effort will involve a two-pronged approach: informing prescribers and raising awareness among New Jersey residents and families.

More than 5,000 volunteers participated in last year’s Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day, distributing crucial information on safe prescribing practices to healthcare providers, as well door hangers with information on the

link between prescribed pain medications and heroin abuse throughout communities.

Each county will have volunteer coordinators who can help interested volunteers obtain materials and help them plan their outreach.

Volunteers will be asked to devote the amount of time they can give, whether it’s a few hours delivering door hanger tags to homes in their community or 20 minutes during their lunch break distributing materials in their office. Anyone can volunteer: school clubs, scouts, religious groups, businesses. Coordinators for each county can provide more information on how to

get involved.

Residents interested in volunteering can sign up at drugfreenj.org/knockoutvolunteers. The website also includes a toolkit, which provides electronic methods for spreading the message of Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day. Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day is a project of the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey, in cooperation with the Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse; the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Addiction Services; and the Community Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Morris, with help from thousands of volunteers across the state.

Talking the Talk About Walking the Walk Use of Assistive Devices

B

By: Hillary Petetti, PT, In-Home Physical Therapist

eing able to walk is something that most people take for granted until they sustain an injury which prevents them from getting around.

Think about all the times you walk during the day - even around your home: to the kitchen to get a snack, to the bathroom to take a shower, to the mailbox to pick up the circulars, to a family member to give them a hug. Now think about if you couldn’t do that. Many injuries result in pain, weakness, and loss of balance, all of which prevent walking without a high risk of falling and further injury.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE INJURED AND CANNOT SAFELY WALK ALONE?

Oftentimes your doctor or even your family member will recommend a walker or a cane, which in clinical terms are also known as assistive devices. The problem is that many people resist using them because they do not understand how to use them or they do not know which kind to use, as there are many different kinds of devices (e.g. standard walkers, rolling walkers, rollators, single point canes, narrow based quad canes, wide based quad canes).

Unfortunately, just having a walker or a cane does not solve the problem. Sometimes people have the wrong device to suit their needs. For example, someone with very poor balance would require the greater support of a walker as opposed to a cane.

Someone with a cardiac condition would require a walker with wheels as opposed to one without to decrease physical exertion

while walking.

Using a device incorrectly can sometimes be just as dangerous as not using one at all. Sometimes people have the device set up wrong, for example, too high or too low.

Using a walker that is set up too high can lead to shoulder injuries. Using a walker that is too low can lead to back pain.

Sometimes people have the correct device, set up correctly, but do not know how to properly use it. The brake system on fourwheeled walkers with seats, commonly known as rollators, is a prime example. Many people do not know how or when to lock the brakes. Sitting on or getting up from an unlocked rollator is a recipe for disaster!

Sometimes people have the correct device, set up correctly, but resist using it because of vanity or they feel doing so is “not really walking”.

SO, WHO CAN HELP DETERMINE THE BEST DEVICE FOR YOUR PROBLEM, SIZE THE DEVICE, AND TEACH YOU HOW TO USE IT TO YOUR BEST ADVANTAGE?

ANSWER: your physical therapist.

Physical Therapists are experts in determining the proper device, making sure it is the right height, and teaching the best use. Working with your physical therapist can also help you to see that using a device improves your independence rather than reducing it.

With your All-Care physical therapist, either in the clinic or at home, you will learn how to use your assistive device to get you walking more safely and with less pain. Having the

right device to address your problem and knowing how to use it correctly will help improve confidence with your walking and balance which may give you the further confidence to enjoy the activities (e.g. going shopping, going out to lunch, cooking at home) which you might have stopped doing since the injury or illness began.

HILLARY PETETTI, IN-HOME PT Hillary graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 1995 with a Bachelor’s Degree in psychology and writing. She then decided to expand and continue her education to pursue a Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy, graduating from Boston University in 2000.

Hillary has worked in numerous settings over her 15 year career including school based pediatrics, acute care, outpatient, skilled nursing facilities, and is now excited about being a part of the All-Care Physical Therapy Home Care Team. Her areas of interest also include Women’s Health and she has taken multiple continuing education courses addressing the pervasive problem of urinary incontinence. In 2013, she became certified in LSVT BIG, a specialized program for Parkinson’s disease.

Hillary believes that a motivated patient is usually a successful patient. She has learned that the best way to motivate her patients is by empowering them, using a team approach, and including them in the decision making process on their journey back to health and improved quality of life.

By Kimberly Bosco BRICK – Patients of Dr. Theodore Lygas of Breast Surgery and Breast Oncology got a special treat recently when Dr. Lygas invited them aboard his boat for an evening of celebration.

Dr. Lygas’ practice has offices in Brick, Toms River and Barnegat. This year, patients from Brick, Toms River, Marlboro, Pt Pleasant, Forked River, Manahawkin, Lavallette, Howell and Barnegat were selected to celebrate the gift of life on the “Cancer Cruise” with Dr. Lygas and his staff.

According to coordinator Suzanne Friend, Dr. Lygas “feels that conquering cancer not only needs a point of celebration but he also feels that he needs to give back to these women who put their trust in him.”

These “Cancer Cruises” bring breast cancer

survivors on a 40 foot sport fisherman boat for a cruise on the Manasquan and Metedeconk Rivers and Barnegat Bay. Special guests get not only an evening of fun, but also a make-over

by Karan Geist, an esthetician at the Atlantic Club, a massage by Lynette Cupola and a meal at local restaurant Harpoon Willy’s for dinner.

“One of the most traumatic events in a woman’s life is to be diagnosed with breast cancer.

Many feel that they will not live to see children or grandchildren graduate marry or enjoy a long life with spouse or partner. Fortunately, with modern treatment of breast cancer these fears dissipate when their cure is achieved,” stated Lygas.

For more information about the practice call 732-458-4600 or go to breastsurgeryandbreastoncology.com.

Always lock house doors. Doors should be made from strong wood or metal and should be locked with a deadbolt.

Keep at least one light on a timer when going out. Leave a television or radio on as well.

On the outside of the home install motion

sensor lights. Keep them high enough so burglars will not be able to unscrew the light bulbs.

Take pictures or a video of all valuables and document all of the serial numbers. Keep this documentation in a secure place.

Those who witness any suspicious activity around the home or neighborhood, report it to the police immediately.

Residents can contact the Brick Police Department at 732-262-1100

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 1 - sept 7

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Love and affection may head in the wrong direction if you feel coerced or manipulated. By mid-week you will find it easier to achieve a sensible agreement with others. Use a hands-on approach at the workplace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You and a loved one may be briefly at odds in the first part of the week. You may find it easier to shine at the workplace or when you are using your hardheaded business sense to improve your financial standing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Contain your enthusiasms. During the week to come you should practice caution and discrimination. If you want to be perceived as a creative person you must refine your work and know which errors need correction.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Today’s Full Moon might compel you to be more reflective.

You have been able to cope with problems at home or at work, but as one cycle finishes you may see there are still more hurdles to leap in the week ahead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Wait a few days before buying something important. Right now, you may be more concerned with what people think about your purchases than whether the purchase is worthwhile and advantageous for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Full Moon falls in your opposite sign and may bring your opposite number into focus. Relationships can be a primary motivator as the week unfolds.

Wait until the middle of the week to make decisions about finances.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As the week be-

gins, your desires may be blocked. This will force you to be more practical and pragmatic. Use your business sense to make a good impression on the job and to make your home run more smoothly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Prepare to perform your happy dance in the week ahead.

More investigation is needed, however, before you make key decisions. You are like a dog that has buried a bone and catches the scent just as his master calls.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): After today’s Full Moon you might see the glass as half empty. It would be wise to be a bit of a philosopher about financial assets this week. Remind yourself that it is not possible to spend money you don’t have.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Place emphasis on precision and accuracy in the upcoming week. Steer clear of major purchases today. You might be willing to accept less than you deserve because you believe something is better than nothing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A levelheaded approach will work best in the week ahead. You possess the vision and imagination to understand the long-term consequences of your actions.

Handle your finances with shrewdness and skill.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): While the Full Moon brightens your sector of the zodiac you may find it easier to understand your partner and loved ones. As the week progresses you will become more aware of the importance of loyalty and trust.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Too Many Farmers’ Market Veggies?

Make Fried Rice!

By Wolfgang Puck FRIED RICE WITH FARMERS’ MARKET VEGETABLES Serves 3 to 4 1 cup (250 mL) uncooked long-grain white rice 3/4 cup (185 mL) good-quality canned chicken stock or broth, or vegetable stock or broth 3/4 cup (185 mL) water 1 red or yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) squares 1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) squares 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced Napa cabbage 1/2 cup (125 mL) sliced white mushrooms 1/2 cup (125 mL) small snow peas, stemmed and stringed 1 to 2 tablespoons peanut oil 1 or 2 garlic cloves, minced, optional 1 large egg, beaten 2 tablespoons mushroom soy sauce 2 tablespoons regular soy sauce 2 scallions, thinly sliced at a 45-degree angle Cook the rice at least several hours before serving or the night before. Put it in a saucepan, and add the stock and water. Bring to a boil over high heat; then, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until all the liquid has been absorbed

and the rice looks completely dry, 15 to 18 minutes. Empty the rice onto a baking sheet or large platter, and leave it to cool and air-dry for several hours or overnight.

Before cooking, use clean, dry hands to separate the rice grains and f luff up the rice.

In a mixing bowl, toss together the bell peppers, onion, Napa cabbage, mushrooms and snow peas.

Heat a wok or a large, wide skillet with sloping sides over high heat until very hot. Add enough of the oil to coat the wok evenly, drizzling it in all around the upper edges of the pan to f low toward the center.

Add the mixture of vegetables and, if using, the garlic. With a long-handled wooden spatula, briskly stir-fry the vegetables continuously until their colors brighten and they look glossy, about 30 seconds. Add the f luffed rice and continue to stir-fry continuously for another 30 seconds or so, tossing together the vegetables and rice.

Drizzle in the beaten egg around the edges of the wok, and quickly stir the egg into the rice and vegetables. Drizzle the mushroom soy sauce and regular soy sauce over the rice-and-vegetable mixture, and stir it in briskly.

Transfer the rice to a heated serving bowl or platter. Garnish with scallions, and serve immediately.
