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.

Protest: Continued From Page 1

–Photos by Bob Vosseller Thomas Cannavo, chairman of the Green Party holds up sign opposing supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. 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.”

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

The opinions expressed in the Letters To The Editor section do not necessarily reflect those of the staff, management or sponsors of Micromedia Publications/ Jersey Shore Online. Letters to the Editor are the OPINION of the writer and the content is not checked for accuracy.

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.

Senator Sam Thompson TRENTON - Governor Phil Murphy has signed legislation long-sponsored by Senator Sam Thompson (R-12th) that will require New Jersey school buses to have lap and shoulder seat belts.

“Far too many students’ lives are endangered when a school bus does not have lap and shoulder belts,”

Thompson said. “The facts are there: three-point seat belts provide the best protection for students when they are riding the bus to school or a field trip. This law complies with national standards and most importantly, provides our schoolchildren with the equipment to keep them safe.”

Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

WASHINGTON, D.C – As the 2018-19 school year gets underway, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), along with U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Doug Jones (D-AL), Kamala Harris (D-CA), and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), re-introduced a bill to streamline the financial aid application process

for graduate and undergraduate students, in an effort to help more underserved students have access to financial aid and attend college.

The Simplifying Financial Aid for Students Act of 2018 would simplify the FAFSA form, making it more accessible and easier to complete for low-income students by greatly reducing the number

From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy 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 grandfather and board member at Build Jake’s Place. “Originally sponsored by Senator Beach and Majority Leader Greenwald, this law places New Jersey in the forefront of a national movement, by seeking to provide children with disabilities inclusive

Thompson Bill to Require Lap & Shoulder Belts on School Buses Senator Thompson originally introduced this legislation in 2013, following a pair of school bus accidents in Chesterfield.

This past spring, a fatal school bus accident involving students from Paramus prompted legislators to finally consider Senator Thompson’s legislation to improve school buses safety. During the accident, a 10-year-old student and a

teacher from Paramus were killed.

Sen. Thompson’s legislation, A-4110/ S-233, requires all newly-manufactured New Jersey school buses to be equipped with three-point lap and shoulder seat belts. The law takes effect immediately and will be applicable to buses manufactured on or after the 180th day following its enactment.

In May the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommended that all states amend their statutes to require school buses to be equipped with lap and shoulder seat belts.

More than 2,450 lives are saved by safety belts each year, according the U.S. Department of Transportation.

“The best way to protect our students is to have them buckle up, and use

the same seat belts we all have in our cars nowadays.

We know that a lap belt is simply not enough to keep kids safe in a school bus crash,” Thompson said.

“Over the past five years I have worked hard to make sure New Jersey’s school buses are equipped with three-point seat belts. I am glad to see that Governor Murphy has signed this measure into law.”

Bill Would Simplify Federal Student Aid

of questions a student would need to answer if she or he is a recipient of a means-tested program and by increasing the number of questions based on tax filing characteristics.

“We know that when a student completes the federal financial aid form, he or she is more likely to receive aid, attend college, and graduate from college,” Booker said.

“But sadly, less than half of today’s high school students complete the form, and students from underserved backgrounds complete the form at even lower rates than their peers. We must make the

process of obtaining aid for higher education easier. Our bill would simplify the complicated process in order to reduce barriers to higher learning for students from marginalized populations.”

Specifically, the Simplifying Financial Aid for Students Act of 2018 would: • Deem a student eligible for a “zero expected family contribution” determination if the student’s parents or the student are recipients of means tested programs.

• Modify the simplified needs analysis formula by

•

• •

proposing a pathways approach based on income tax filing characteristics.

Transform the FAFSA to use the most minimal set of data elements when assessing student need.

Coordinate between the Department of Education, the Internal Revenue Service and other Departments and Agencies to deem eligibility for an automatic zero expected family contribution.

Codify the use of prior-prior year data into law.

for completion on a mobile device.

Aim to make FAFSA accessible to more students by eliminating the Selective Service registration and prior drug convictions from student eligibility criteria for federal student financial aid.

Streamline determinations and verification for homeless and foster youth and consolidate questions regarding homeless status on the FAFSA. Make DREAMers eligible for federal financial aid.

“Jake’s Law” Will Provide Inclusive Playground For People With Disabilities playgrounds in every county of the state. Build Jake’s Place has been in the forefront of this effort, erecting Jake’s Place Cherry Hill playground, named one of the ten best all-access playgrounds in the country, and opening Jake’s Place Delran this fall. It is hoped, within the foreseeable future, every play opportunity in the state will include every child of every ability.”

Counties that submit applications to build inclusive playgrounds similar to Jake’s Place will be prioritized in Green Acre funding. The Department of Community Affairs, in consultation with the Department of Education, will create rules and regulations for design, installation, inspection and maintenance of the inclusive playgrounds.

The rules and regulations will be to implemented to exceed

the requirements established by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and ensure that these inclusive playgrounds are

accessible for children of all physical and mental abilities.

Bill sponsors include Assembly Majority Leader Louis Gre-

enwald, Assembly members Pamela Lampitt and Gabriela Mosquera, and Senators James Beach and Nilsa Cruz-Perez.

Childhood Hearing Loss…And Bullying?

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.”

Hearing loss among youth goes largely unaddressed. Is a hearing test on your checklist? Call us to schedule complimentary hearing screenings for the whole family today!

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!

Children May Develop High Blood Pressure

NEW JERSEY – Despite popular belief, teens, children and even babies can have high blood pressure, also called HBP or hypertension. It’s not just a disease for the middle-aged and elderly.

As with adults, early diagnosis and treatment can reduce or prevent the harmful consequences of this disease, including heart and kidney disease. This May, National High Blood Pressure Awareness Month and American Stroke Month, the American Stroke Association wants you to check your child’s health.

When it comes to blood pressure in children, “normal” is relative. It depends on three factors: gender, age and height. Your child’s doctor can tell you what’s right for your child, because “normal” is a complicated calculation based on these factors.

What leads to HBP in children? There may be many factors that can include: • Diseases including heart and kidney disease • Some medications • Family history • Excess weight or obesity

•

Race, particularly African-Americans are at an increased risk • Visiting your pediatrician to discuss treatment options is vital in controlling HBP. As in adults, HBP in children is typically managed with lifestyle changes, including: • Enjoying a heart-healthy diet • Participating in regular physical activity • Managing weight The doctor may also prescribe medication if an appropriate diet and regular physical activity don’t bring the high blood pressure under control.

Children and teens should also be taught the dangers of tobacco use and protected from secondhand smoke. While cigarettes aren’t directly related to high blood pressure, they do cause a number of health risks. Parents should set a good example by not smoking and educating their children about the hazards of smoking.

Give your kids the best possible start by helping them develop heart-healthy habits early. Learn more about raising heart-healthy kids at heart.org/kids.

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.

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 With your All-Care physical therapist, decrease physical exertion while walking. either in the clinic or at home, you will Using a device incorrectly can sometimes learn how to use your assistive device be just as dangerous as not using one at to get you walking more safely and all. Sometimes people have the device with less pain. Having the right device set up wrong, for example, too high or to address your problem and knowing too low. Using a walker that is set up too how to use it correctly will help improve high can lead to shoulder injuries. Using confidence with your walking and a walker that is too low can lead to back balance which may give you the further confidence to enjoy the activities (e.g. pain. going shopping, going out to lunch, Sometimes people have the correct device, cooking at home) which you might have set up correctly, but do not know how to stopped doing since the injury or illness properly use it. The brake system on four- began. Please call 1-(855) 3ALLCARE for wheeled walkers with seats, commonly more information. known as rollators, is a prime example.

Many people do not know how or when to HILLARY PETETTI, IN-HOME PT lock the brakes. Sitting on or getting up Hillary graduated from Washington from an unlocked rollator is a recipe for University in St. Louis in 1995 with a Bachelor’s Degree in psychology and 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.

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.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

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.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Is Your Property Being Properly Assessed?

I&G FARMS Farm Grown Produce in Jackson for Over 40 Years!

JERSEY CORN & TOMATOES

ALL CORN IS LOCALLY GROWN & FRESH FROM OUR FARM!

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.

The Orchards at Bartley Assisted LIving 100 N. County Line Road Jackson, NJ 08527

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - The fire started in a trashcan, and within a matter of seconds it spread to nearby curtains and to the ceiling. The room would have been completely engulfed in flames if not for the sprinkler system, which extinguished the fire immediately.

Luckily, the room wasn’t in a home but rather in a burn trailer demonstration held at the Laurelton Firehouse and hosted by The New Jersey Fire Sprinkler Advisory Board (NJFSB), who come to Brick every year and teach the children who attend Brick Police Youth Camp about fire safety.

The campers watched through a large picture window at the mock room furnished with a filled trash can and curtains. They saw how quickly the fire spread and the overall effectiveness of fire sprinklers.

“The sprinkler system doesn’t always fully extinguish the fire, but it saves lives because the system contains the fire and buys time for the occupants to safely exit or escape the structure,” said NJFSB state coordinator Frank Ellis, who divided the 51 campers into groups of four for the demonstration and fire safety talk.

“A smoke alarm alone does not provide enough protection in the event of a fire,” he added.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, in 2016 (the most recent year available) there were 1,342,000 fires reported in the country which resulted in 3,390 deaths.

Ellis said the NJFSB would like to see sprinkler systems installed in all homes, but in New Jersey it is only required in commercial structures.

“Right now, Maryland and California are

the only states that require sprinkler systems are installed in new construction,” he said.

“We’re trying to get that changed in New Jersey.”

The cost is about the same as a new granite countertop - about $2 per square foot in New Jersey, with a national average of $1.37 a square foot - or about $5,000, Ellis said.

Brick Fire Bureau Marshall and volunteer firefighter at the Laurelton Fire Company Dave Bahrenburg said very few homes in the township have sprinkler systems.

“We love it when [NJFSBB] come here because it’s great for the public to understand how sprinklers can help with fire safety,” he said. “It would be nice to have them in every home.”

Ellis conducts the burn house demonstration about 60 times a year, and has come to various fire stations in Brick and to National Night Out in Windward Beach Park.

Nitalia Booker, 13, attends the Police Camp and was in the first group to see the burn trailer demonstration.

“It was cool. I didn’t know that different sprinklers have different colors and that means they go off at different heats,” she said.

She also learned that sprinklers are heat not smoke - activated, and they create steam after the water hits the fire.

The mission of the NJFSAB is to save lives and protect property by educating the public about fire safety, demonstrating the benefits and effectiveness of fire sprinklers, and supporting fire-safe building codes and legislation.

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.

–Photo by Judy Smestad-Nunn Auriemma’s family members surround the tree that was dedicated in his honor.

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 Auriemma, 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 give me words of encouragement 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 tirelessly on ocean issues, climate change, preserving open space, organizing beach clean-ups and much more, Tittel said.

“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 Tit tel 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 (Tree - See Page 25)

jerseyshoreonline.com

Tree: Continued From Page 24 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 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

The Jackson Times, September 1, 2018, Page 25 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.

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 can-

cer 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.

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.

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.
