Protest Over Supreme Court Pick Brings Both Sides

Toms River Golfer One Of State’s Best Players

By Chris Christopher Perhaps you have heard the saying, “Like father like son.”

Or perhaps you have heard the saying, “The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.”

Both fit Marc Issler. To a tee.

The former Toms River High School North standout is one of the state’s top golfers.

He won the recent 98th State Open at the Montclair Golf Club at Rock Spring in West Orange.

Issler’s caddy happened to be his dad, Bob Issler, who won the event in 1981.

The Isslers are just the second father and son team to win the New Jersey State Golf Association event. Art Silvestrone Sr. came out on top in 1972 and 1973 and his son, Art Jr., captured the championship in 1979.

“My dad brought me to tournaments when I was (Golfer - See Page 2)

By Bob Vosseller TOMS R I V ER – 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

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 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.

The gathering held provided an impromptu forum of civil discourse between both sides.

Kavanaugh is being considered for the opening on the United States Supreme Court and a series of nationw ide r allies called “Unite For Justice,” took place on Aug. 26.

Golfer: Continued From Page 1 younger,” said Issler, 32. “He has been there for me all along. It’s definitely an advantage when you have your dad as a pro and you play golf. That helps.”

Young Issler said he began spending time on the links at around the age of six.

“That’s my first real recollection of playing,” he said, “but I probably began playing before that. My dad has been a big part of my playing golf. He got me into it when I was a kid. Now, he is my dad, caddy and friend. He is usually the first person I talk to after a round. When he is not there, I give him the story - good or bad.”

Issler downplayed his genetics.

“I don’t feel any extra pressure to play good golf,” he said. “If you are good enough, you are good enough. If you are not, you are not.

I have had my share of struggles. When that happens, you ask yourself, ‘Which one is it?’ It is either get better or that’s it. You have plateaued and that is as good as you are going to get. I don’t think I have any more talent than anyone else.

“I put a lot of time and effort into it. Anyone who is good at something - doctor, financial advisor - anyone who is good at something puts in a lot of time trying to get better at it.”

There’s an old golf saying, “Drive for show and putt for dough.”

With $15,000 at stake for winning the title, Issler came up big, scoring a birdie on the par four 18th hole, a nearly 400-yard layout.

He put home a left-to-right eight footer to

come away richer. He set up the putt with a five-iron shot from 182 yards uphill that touched down to the right of the hole.

“I hit a pretty good shot on the last hole to get close to the pin,” Issler said. “I knocked the ball to where I wanted and I made the putt. I did not stew over the putt too long or worry about it. The more you stew, the better the chance is that you will miss it.

That is kind of how I play in general. I go with my gut instinct in general and it just happened to go in.”

He was aware of the importance of sinking the putt.

“As soon as it went in,” he said, “I knew I won the tournament.”

Issler finished the final round with a one-under par 69. He finished the event with a one-under par 209. Issler opened the event with a 68. However, despite his stellar round, the part time Toms River resident trailed by two strokes. He followed with a 72.

“I birdied the 18th to win and that’s all that matters,” he said. “You can win by either one stroke or 13 strokes. I am from this state and this is definitely the biggest event in the state. It’s one you want to win.

Any golfer in the state has known about this event for a long time.”

Issler is no stranger to the event.

“I have played in it at least 10 times,” he said, “and this is the first time I have won it.”

He has plans for his winnings.

“I will probably just invest it,” he said.

“It’s $15,000 more than I had the other day.”

Issler was far from unfamiliar with the

patient. It takes a long time to see the results course.

“I felt like I had a chance to win the event you are looking for. A lot of golf is mental.”

Issler wound up at High Point University as I played the course a couple of times before the tournament,” he said. “The course in North Carolina where he earned All-Big fit my game as it is not real long. In the last South Conference honors in 2006. He gradthree or four years, a lot of the trees were uated with a business management degree.

He became a member of the Professional taken out. The greens were tough, but they fit me well as I did not have to hit the ball Golfers Association in 2009. He’s the head real far. I told myself during the whole professional at the Toms River Golf Center, week of the tournament, ‘Stay patient and owned by his dad, also a PGA member.

Marc Issler spends the cold weather residsee what happens.’ “ As a youngster, Issler dabbled in baseball ing in Jupiter, Fl., and providing lessons at the Country Club at Mirasol in nearby and basketball.

“I was not tall enough or fast enough Palm Beach Gardens.

“The guys who say they would rather for basketball,” the 5-foot-10 Issler said.

“I realized I could play real well probably teach than play can’t play,” Issler said. “I when I was about 15 years old. I began to would rather play 100 percent of the time. learn how to shoot a good score and how to Playing golf is not a bad way to make a living. It’s a perfect storm if you play good grind and take my time a little bit.”

Coached by John Ziemba and Rich Wort- golf.” man (the latter guides the Ocean County College team), Issler won the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Group IV state title as a junior and senior for the Mariners. He played four years of varsity golf.

“When you get better every year, it motivates you to continue to work at it,” Issler said. “Very few people work harder at something when they –Photo courtesy Jared Minski are not seeing results.

Court: Continued From Page 1 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

TOMS RIVER – The name says it all.

The Strictly 60s Band is a group of veteran musicians dedicated to giving their listeners

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.”

Tree: Continued From Page 1 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 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 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 influence? 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.

FEMA Should Expedite Damage Assessments For Brick Flood

From The Desk Of

Congressman Tom MacArthur BRICK - Congressman Tom MacA r thu r called on the Federal Emergency Ma nagement Agency to expedite the Joint Preliminar y Damage Assessments (PDA) for I nd iv idu al A ssist a nce.

The State of New Jersey requested the PDA as a result of f loodi ng that o ccu r re d f rom Aug u st 11-13, hitting the Townsh ip of Br ick pa r t icula rly ha rd. Ma cA r t hu r

was in Brick with Ocean Cou nt y Sher iff Mi ke Mastronardy to meet with impacted residents and volunteers on Aug. 21, 2018.

“I welcome SBA and F E M A’s a s s i s t a n c e t o t he ongoi ng ef for t s of the New Jersey Of f ice of Emergency Management to gather information about the scope of damage caused by this storm,” wrote Congress-

m a n To m M a c A r t h u r.

“Hav i ng spent t i me i n Brick over the last week, I can tell you firsthand that Ocean County needs a d d it io n a l fe d e r a l r e sources as soon as possible to help restore these neighborhoods and make these individuals whole again.”

The full letter to FEMA is below: Dear Administrator Long, The State of New Jersey h a s fo r m a l l y r e q u e s ted FEMA conduct Joint Preliminary Damage As-

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-

for fe de r al a ssist a nce.

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.

I welc o m e SBA a n d F E M A’s a s s i s t a n c e t o t he ongoi ng ef for t s of the New Jersey Of f ice of Emergency Management to gather information about the scope of damage caused by this storm. Having spent time

I look forward to working with your off ice to de mon st r at e t h at ne e d and ensure these funds are disbursed as quickly as possible to the many in need in Ocean County.

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.

Freeholder John P. Curley

Wall Of Honor Will Be Started For Scouts

–Photos by Chris Lundy (Top) Zach Dougherty was one of three honored for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.

(Bottom) Girl Scout Christine Apostolico was honored for achieving the Gold Award.

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – There will be a place for every Eagle Scout’s name to be recorded for all to see in the Toms River Municipal Building.

Eagle Scouts serve as mentors for younger scouts, and often become leaders in the community, said Councilman George Wittmann Jr., an Eagle Scout himself. The names of the scouts and some information about them will be on display indefinitely.

From 2009 to now, there has been about 93 Eagle Scouts, he said. Every time a boy achieves that rank, they would be added.

At the most recent Township Council meeting, four scouts were honored for their dedication to the community. Three boys became Eagle Scouts recently and one girl achieved the Gold Award.

Zach Dougherty took the “littles” from the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Ocean County on a fishing expedition on Lake Shenandoah, and provided them with a fishing kit, and educated them on caring for the environment.

Cattus Island was seriously damaged by Superstorm Sandy. David Leadbeater’s Eagle project was to restore a trail off the yellow trail. Michael Centeno’s project was taking apart a damaged boardwalk and replacing it.

Christine Apostolico achieved the highest rank for Girl Scouts, the Gold Award. She explained that she built a garden near JBJ Soul Kitchen, so that the restaurant and nearby food pantry can use what grows there. She taught kids from the Toms River Nursery School to plant everything there.

Empowering The Next Generation Of Girls Through Technology

TOMS RIVER – Recently, 104 girls from Toms River Regional’s three intermediate and three high schools boarded a caravan of buses to spend the day in New York City with over a dozen influential women leaders from across the tech industry.

While the sunny views of Manhattan from high up in the office space of SAP Next-Gen were spectacular, all eyes and ears were focused on the message of empowerment communicated through talks, slideshows, and activities.

A NEW REALITY: Tech Summit was organized by Aminka Belvitt, founder of the ForUsGirls Foundation to develop a game-changing experience. The day represented an extension of a year-long #WeAreTRcoders after school program for girls hosted by SAP, and led by Educational Technology Supervisor Tiffany Lucey, as well as other initiatives the district has implemented over the past five years, including advanced coding language camps, integrated learning, competitive tech clubs, and maker events and curriculum.

District grants provided transportation and staffing, while funding for breakfast and lunch was arranged by Hemant Ramachandra, principal with Deloitte Consulting,working with software giant Thinksys.

“Though technology has the power to engage young minds in new ways, the summit was about developing the confidence to take risks, to think outside of whatever boxes we’re put in, and to bring that mindset back to our classrooms,” Lucey noted. “Adults, especially women, need to continually support and inspire girls as mentors, practitioners, educators, and role models, as they did today.”

SAP, in partnership with the Hasso Plattner Institute, recently opened its office at 10 Hudson Yards with a mission to “connect the diverse perspectives of next-generation innovators to SAP’s global ecosystem… [of] more than 3,100 educational institutions in 110 countries, 100 innovation and development centers, and startups.”

The 48th floor space is overseen by Global Innovation Manager Sandra Moerch and Innovation Manager Ben Christensen. It is a combination of high tech and art, with a mixed reality room and large touch screen displays, as well as musical instruments, texts on creativity, and museum-like pieces placed throughout.

The summit provided opportunities for Toms River Regional students to hear from and speak to movers and shakers in global innovation and to experience examples of technologies like robotics, virtual reality, and coding for the web. Guests included Raahkee Miller, CEO and co-founder of cryptocurrency company Bitsian Inc; Arielle Gross, business leader at Facebook; Keli Chiu, coding mentor for the ForUsGirls Foundation; and Elizabeth Nyamayaro,

executive director of the United Nations Women’s Innovation Unit.

The event was a perfect fit for recently adopted Board of Education goals to make learning more personalized, to adopt a problem-based approach, and to address issues of equity.

“People often underestimate the capacity of students not only to develop creative solutions to problems, but to identify problems in unique ways in the first place,” said Dr. Marc Natanagara, assistant superintendent. “Girls in particular need to have opportunities to strengthen their voices and express their ideas, especially in STEM venues.”

Among the presenters were six students from the district’s robotics teams and tech programs, who spoke about the need for girls to get involved in tech-based opportunities. One student leader encouraged her audience to join activities they were interested in even if there were no other girls, assuring them that by breaking through that barrier they would encourage others.

Typically it is Toms River Regional staff, students, and spaces that play host to workshops, events, and activities focusing on authentic applications of technology.

Other school districts have been invited to participate and often play a major role in activities like the Jersey Shore Makerfest, NJ Makers Day, and staff trainings.

The district just completed a summer coding camp attended by a diverse group of 80 high school students, the first step of a $756,000 grant from the Office of Naval Research written by Natanagara and a team of teachers, administrators, and Mike Kenny, grant writer.

The TR:TechReady program has been designed to bring advanced coding languages across all areas of the curriculum, not just computer science, and teaches students to view coding in the context of real world applications. Students and teachers from other districts joined the initiative, the first of its kind in the country.

The district has one of the lowest per pupil costs in the state and is the community still most affected and recovering from Superstorm Sandy. It is now struggling with the spectre of significant reductions in funding recently announced by the state. Partnerships, grants, sponsorships, and community activism have become increasingly important for the district to grow and for students to continue to be innovation leaders.

Superintendent David Healy has been at the forefront of driving financial support for the district’s 18 schools.

“Toms River Regional Schools have a history of strong communities, a superior teaching staff, and successful students,” said Healy. “Our Board has committed to supporting new curriculums, staff training, and bringing our technology infrastructure into the 21st century to help students be (Technology - See Page 11)

jerseyshoreonline.com

Technology: Continued From Page 10 competitive locally and globally. We will have to work even harder to make sure that momentum isn’t lost due to these massive budget cuts.”

Partners like SAP, NAVAIR, RWJ Barnabas Health, Rutgers University, the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation, and the Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Foundation have provided both seeds of inspiration and financial support. Other challenges are on the horizon, and school staff is committed to staying ahead of the curve.

With initiatives like #WeAreTRcoders and TechReady, Toms River Regional schools are well on their way to meeting a new man-

They continue to take a leading role in assuring that all tech implementations have not only authentic purposes in a global market, but personal meaning to every student-- which is the real promise of both our schools and of technology.

5th Annual HOPE Walk Celebrates Recovery

By Kimberly Bosco SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Join local nonprofit organization HOPE Sheds Light on September 8 for the 5th annual HOPE Walk on the Seaside Heights Boardwalk, where the local community can come together to learn about addiction and recovery.

HOPE Sheds Light of Toms River works to educate the public about the disease of addiction. The HOPE Walk is just one of the ways that the organization does this.

Founded in 2012, HOPE Sheds Light co-founders have a personal connection to addiction having lost family members to the disease in the past.

“The message our founders wish to share with you is that help is nearby, and families can recover together,” said Chief Executive Officer Pamela Capaci. “Come down and walk with us. Hope is here for you.”

Members of the community can come out to learn about addiction, spread hope, and create a support system for their neighbors at the walk. There will be substance abuse resources available for family and friends, inspirational speakers, a Tree of HOPE to remember those who were lost to addiction, as well as vendors, raffles, and more.

Now, participants will also have the opportunity to make teams for the two-mile long walk. Each team should have at least four members and must set a fundraising goal.

“The team that raises the most funds for HOPE Sheds Light will be recognized at the event and prizes will be given to the top three fundraising teams,” said co-founder Arvo Prima.

Members of HOPE expect a big turnout for this year’s event, anticipating over 3,000 participants.

“This year, we are hoping to have 3,000+ participants create a sea of yellow on September 8th,” said co-founder Stephen Willis. “It is just so powerful to see our community come together to provide hope for those suffering from the epidemic.”

The organization intends to celebrate recovery and bring hope to the community with the HOPE Walk, according to Capaci.

“We’re always hearing about the negatives of the disease. But by bringing hope and education to the community, we support each other and those affected. We show that recovery is possible.”

Registration will begin at 8 a.m. on the Hiering Avenue beach in Seaside Heights.

Registration is $10 and includes a free t-shirt.

For more information, visit HOPEShedsLight.org.

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!

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.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Is Your Property Being Properly Assessed?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates

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

JERSEY CORN & TOMATOES

ALL CORN IS LOCALLY GROWN & FRESH FROM OUR FARM!

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.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

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.

MEDICAID – No Out-Of-Pocket

Veterans, Long-Term Care Ins & Private Pay Welcome

FREE Hot & Nutritious Breakfast & Lunch

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 makeover 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.

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.
