Virginia Haines: The New Freeholder Director
By Jennifer Peacock LAKEWOOD – That Tue s d ay a f t e r no on (Dec. 11) was sunny, and not Vermont cold. Virginia Haines had visited family up in the Green Mountain State for Thanksgiving, where the mercury didn’t escape the teens throughout the extended weekend. That afternoon, the shade of
the towering array of trees - the park white pine, Norway spruces, hemlock, among others - surrounding the Ocean County Police Academy keep out the promised 43 degrees, but she’ll take this near heat wave over that Vermont cold. “Ocean County has everything. I don’t see (Director - See Page 26)

DEP Denies Heritage Plan Hovsons’ plan for the former Heritage Minerals site has been an important issue for well over a decade. The Department of Environmental Protection denying the latest plan had to be on the top of the biggest stories. The DEP issued a 23-page report that listed deficiencies in the development plan. Hovsons was applying for 3,862 single family homes, apartments, and townhouses, 40,000 square feet of commercial space, a clubhouse, and recreation facilities. The development would be on about 1,008 acres, leaving 2,916 acres of the property largely undisturbed. The developer sought to make a larger development than what had already been approved. The DEP, Hovsons, the Pinelands Commission, and Manchester Township had originally agreed to a settlement in 2004. This would have been for 2,200 homes, with a development of 995.4 acres, with 6,179.7 acres in the property to be preserved. This denial does not mean that nothing will ever be built there. In fact, the original 2,200-home (Stories - See Page 8)

Stories:
Continued From Page 1 agreement could still be an option. The DEP’s denial simply means that Hovsons can’t build their current plan. Thieving Attorney Sentenced Robert Novy used to have a good name in this county. With an office in Manchester, he was known as an elder law expert, advertising his specialties on local media. Doctors and bankers gave him referrals. People then learned that he had been robbing from clients who were not of sound mind, and who had no close relatives to advocate for them. In court, his prosecutors accused him of being a predator that victimized easy targets. The state’s investigation found about $3 million stolen from at least two dozen victims. Because of his victims’ state of mind and health, the total number of victims and money stolen might never be known. He was jailed for 10 years. He has to pay $4 million in restitution: $3 million to the known victims, and $1 million must be set aside for any future victims that are found from further investigation. Summit Park Renovated In a grand ceremony, Summit Park was re-opened after being closed for renovations. The park, off Alexander Avenue, had been in need of improvements for years. Now, the basketball and tennis courts were resurfaced, the playground was replaced, and new fencing was installed. Additionally, there was a pavilion built in the middle of it. The renovation was part of the township’s plan to improve parks on a regular basis. A New Park In Manchester Not only did an old park get refurbished, but Manchester will eventually be home to a new county park.
The new park will be built across from Ridgeway Liquors, at Routes 571 and 547 and the railroad tracks, bordering Jackson. The township owned 247 acres, and 13 acres was privately held. With wetlands restrictions, 120 acres was developable. It would be the 28th county park/conservation area. Although things were only in the discussion phase, one thought was to have passive hiking trails that are ADA accessible on the eastern end, and soccer and other playing fields on the western end, though the plans are subject to change. The park was only announced this year, but it’s still big news for people who want more recreation and less development. The actual construction of the park will be a few years from now. Lakehurst Elementary Closed Upon getting the building ready for the new school year, officials found that mold had overrun Lakehurst Elementary School during a particularly wet summer. The school was kept closed, and students were redistricted to other schools and public buildings in Manchester and Lakehurst. To make matters worse, when the school was being remediated, asbestos was found, which pushed the re-opening date back further. Reassessment Announced Manchester will be performing a townwide reassessment. Every so often, a town is ordered to adjust the property assessments to make sure that everyone is paying their fair share. Manchester has historically done reassessments, which are done in-house, as opposed to a revaluation, which is when they bring a private company in to do it. Generally speaking, a reassessment is less expensive, and town officials estimate a savings of about $1 million. The reassessment must be completed by November 2020.
Manchester Students Can Get OCC Credits Juniors and seniors at Manchester Township High School were able to have some of their classes double as Ocean County College courses. OCC would designate what Manchester classes would qualify for college credits. Some advanced placement courses would be candidates. The students would pay a fee, stay at Manchester, and get the credits from OCC. The program had been existing at Manchester on a smaller scale, officials said, back when teachers needed to have a Masters degree in order to be considered. Now, OCC is more interested in the curriculum than the degree. If the course is college-level work, it can be considered. The option will not cost taxpayers anything, since the cost will come from the families of the students. They will be paying $94.50 per credit. Marijuana Legalization One of the biggest stories on the Jersey Shore was about something that didn’t even happen yet. When Phil Murphy was running for governor, one of his campaign promises was to legalize recreational marijuana. There was no set plan for this, but it sent towns scrambling. Point Pleasant Beach and Berkeley Township were among the first towns to ban dispensaries that sold recreational marijuana. “We’re in the midst of the worst opioid epidemic,” Mayor Carmen Amato said. Legalizing a drug is “bad public policy.” The county government, Beachwood, and Manchester also followed suit. Jackson Township Council passed a resolution stating they were opposed to legalization. The borough of South Toms River held an online poll. There were 4 votes not to allow any dispensaries (medicinal or rec-
reational). There were 26 votes to allow them. And there were 5 votes to allow medicinal but not recreational. Toms River introduced an ordinance to ban it, but ultimately tabled it. They were concerned that any state law would supersede their local one, and wanted to wait until the law was passed. The towns that created a ban made it a point to say that the ban was only on recreational use, and not marijuana sold for medicinal purposes. A state Senate vote for recreational marijuana was scheduled for December, but was put off until 2019. Opioid Epidemic Continues According to Ocean County figures, there were 53 overdose deaths in 2012. This doubled to 112 reported overdose deaths in 2013. That number would almost double again to 216 in 2016, before dropping to 163 in 2017. However, the county is back up to 193 as of Dec. 4. With a new governor came a new Ocean County Prosecutor. Joseph Coronato’s f ive-year ter m was up, and Bradley Billhimer was chosen as his successor. Billhimer pledged to continue Coronato’s Blue HART (Heroin Addiction Recovery Treatment) program, which allows addicts to come to certain police stations and get help without fear of arrest. He also will look to expand drug education in school. Local officers were part a multi-state drug bust that led to 28 drug arrests, three fugitive warrants issued, and nine illicit drug facilities. More than 90,000 dosage units of heroin, more than 19 lbs. of cocaine, 20 fire arms, 27 mostly high-end vehicles, and $848,481 were seized. The task force worked in Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Passaic, and Union counties and the Bronx in New York. Locally, search (Stories - See Page 22)

NEW JERSEY – With the winter season in full swing, its always a good idea to check on your household water pipes to prevent freezing. Aqua New Jersey is reminding residents to take these steps: • Have a supply of heat tape, pipe insulation, a portable space heater and a hair dryer on hand • Locate and visibly mark the home’s master water valve. In the event that a pipe does break, use this value to turn off water to the home. • Make sure the lids on outdoor meter pits are not broken or missing. • Shut off and drain any outside faucets including those for lawn sprinkling systems. Prevent drafts in unheated areas, such as crawl spaces or basements, by replacing broken glass or making other repairs. When temperatures drop below freezing, take the following precautions in those unheated areas: • Wrap pipes with insulation material or heat tape. Wrap indoor water meters with a blanket. Proper and safe use of portable space heaters can also keep exposed pipes in drafty areas from freezing. • For interior plumbing located on an outside wall such as a kitchen sink, install heat tape
to the pipes beneath the sink. If no small children are in the house, open cabinet doors beneath the sink to allow the warm air in the home to reach the pipes. • When temperatures remain near 10°F, customers may want to leave a very thin stream of water running continuously from at least one tap in their home—preferably the one farthest from the meter. The additional cost of the water is cheaper than the cost of repairing ruptured pipes. • If a customer can locate the frozen area of a pipe, open a spigot and use a hand-held hair dryer (blow dryer) or heat tape to thaw the area. If this does not resolve the issue, contact a licensed plumber. “Each winter, we receive many calls from customers who are dealing with pipes that have frozen or ruptured due to extreme winter temperatures,” stated Aqua New Jersey President John Hildabrant. “Frozen pipes become a concern anytime the high temperature drops below freezing for a sustained period. We want to make sure our customers know how to keep their home’s water flowing during an Arctic blast, and also what to do if their pipes do freeze this winter.” For more information, visit AquaAmerica. com.

Taking Charge: 7 Tips for Longer-Lasting Hearing Aid Batteries
The dinner was delicious, the dishes are done, and you’re settling in for a double feature on Netflix only to hear the “beep, beep” of your nonrechargeable hearing aid batteries going dead. Argh! How can you make the next set of nonrechargeables last longer? Take control with these seven tips: Find the Right Match: Batteries are available in various sizes, types, and performance levels, so it’s important to find the right fit for your hearing aids. Count on your hearing-care specialist, who can help ensure your hearing devices are matched up with the appropriate battery products. Prepare Before You Pull: Hearing aid batteries come with a stay-fresh colored tab that helps keep them from discharging prematurely. Once the tab’s pulled and the batteries activate, however, they can’t be deactivated, so first be sure you’re ready to use ’em. Wait 3-5 minutes before closing the battery door or the voltage of the battery would get to 1.45 volts. Acquire Only What You Need: It might seem like a good idea to stockpile lots of batteries, but even those that remain unopened in their packaging can lose power over time. Limit your supply to what you’ll reasonably put into service in a year, and use those with the earliest sell-by dates first. Power Down: Just as turning off lights conserves energy and saves bulb life, powering down your devices when not using them helps batteries last. Turn off your hearing aids — including completely opening the battery door — when they’re not in use.
Keep Water Out: Moisture — practically kryptonite to hearing aids — can damage batteries, too. Protect your devices from water sources including sweat, and help further reduce moisture by leaving the battery door open to dry out after removing the batteries at night. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Hot cars and super-cold spaces aren’t great places for your hearing aid batteries. Extreme temperatures can do a number on battery life, so store them at room temperature whenever possible and not in the refrigerator. Rein Them In: Loose change in your pockets or purse always comes in handy, but loose batteries are a no-no. Batteries can react negatively with metals such as keys and coins, so consider storing them separately in their own packaging or another container. Getting the most out of your batteries helps you get the most from your hearing technology — and save money, too! For more tips and tricks on making your batteries last longer, call us today at 732-818-3610. Remember at Garden State Hearing when you purchase hearing aids the batteries are FREE. Dead Batteries? Consider Recycling Most newer household batteries no longer contain mercury, but they still have toxic elements that can pollute waterways and impact air quality. When getting rid of old batteries, recycling may be an option. Check with your city, county, or state household hazardous waste management program for proper recycling or disposal options.
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 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Vitamin K2 Is A Powerful Prostate Cancer Fighter
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Couples have plans, but after the C word is dropped, those plans change to unite a couple in the medical process. After skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most widespread cancer among men, affecting one in seven every single year. Prostate cancer is also the third leading cause of cancer death, after lung and colorectal cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. The good news today is some significant strides are being made in the prevention of prostate cancer as well as the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. In fact, we have now learned that one remarkable nutrient can have wondrous cancer fighting and preventative properties for all kinds of cancers. You might have thought vitamin C or D3, but you’d be wrong. It’s actually vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is proving to be a marvelous ally in the war on prostate cancer. In fact, K2 along with vitamin D3, work harmoniously together for a wide range of diseases. Higher levels of K2 and higher intake of K2 are associated with lower prostate cancer risk, and vitamin K2 deficiency status has been found in most men with aggressive prostate cancers. Researchers for the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) have also found that increasing one’s intake of vitamin K2 may lower the risk of getting prostate cancer dramatically by up to 35%. With a one in seven risk of developing prostate cancer within their lifetime, this is
an encouraging discovery! But because we’re talking about a vitamin, I’m sure you won’t see commercials about it. And K2 is not something you have to buy, it’s commonly found in foods that most of us already enjoy like salads, green vegetables, green superfoods, as well as some meat and cheese. There are also supplements that are sold without prescription, at health food stores, however I encourage you to ask your physician if these are right for you, as K2 can interfere with blood-thinning medications. For people on the healing process with cancer, their number one goal is to stop the spread of cancer to other organs and tissues, termed metastasis. When prostate cancer is caught early on, before it has spread to many other organs, the interventions are more useful. Vitamin K2 has also proven to have neuroprotective effects upon the brain, preventing Alzheimer’s and dementia, to shuttle calcium out of the arteries and to the bones, where it hardens and strengthens them, helps wounds and bones to heal faster, improves the skin, and now hear this, reverses wrinkles as well. Vitamin K2 is found in foods such as dairy products, meat, and dark leafy greens like salads, Swiss chard, spinach, and other greens. It is found in very high concentration in a popular Asian fermented soy dish called Natto. Other foods high in vitamin K2 include ground beef, liver, chicken as well we cheese, egg yolks and butter.

Inside The Law Enjoy The Holidays But Be Mindful Of Scams!
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Have you thought about giving a fancy new gadget as a holiday gift? Or maybe there’s something on your wish list that Santa forgot to bring? If so, you might be tempted by an Ad to purchase high-tech gadgets for a low price. But if a merchant, other than Amazon. com, asks you to pay using an Amazon gift card then it’s probably a scam. In fact, Amazon’s gift card terms don’t allow you to use Amazon gift cards to make payments anywhere besides amazon.com and a few specific sites. Here’s how the scam happens: You discover a website that sells new HDTVs, GPS devices, and other tech-gadgets for deeply discounted prices. You haven’t heard of the site, but you’re diligent and you do some research. You find a few reviews from satisfied customers, you think the site is legitimate, and you go for it. During checkout, you’re instructed to purchase an Amazon gift card and then hand over the gift card information as payment. Unfortunately, if you do, you’ll be out the money, and you won’t get anything in return. These scammers know that bad reviews scare people away, so they may post a few positive reviews about the site. They shut down the site before people post complaints — usually in less than a month — and open
under a new name somewhere else. Buying an Amazon gift Michael J. Deem card to make a payment is NOT the same as using Amazon Payments, which provides some protections for buyers. Amazon Payments is a feature that allows Amazon members to pay for merchandise on other websites by logging in and using a payment method they’ve stored on their Amazon account. For example, if you use a credit card stored in your Amazon Payments account, you’re still using your credit card to make the purchase, and you get certain protections when you use a credit card. You don’t have the same protections when you pay with a gift card — virtually or physically. It could be tough to trace the money or get it back if something goes wrong. Of course, that’s not a problem if you’re sending the gift card to a friend or family member as a gift. When shopping online, consider using a payment method that offers protections if you don’t get what you paid for. From everyone here at R.C. Shea & Associates, have a safe, happy and healthy Holiday season.

Continued From Page 8 warrants were executed in Brick, Howell, Jackson, Lakewood and Toms River. One local production facility found on East Connecticut Concourse in Jackson was dismantled. New Performing Arts Academy Ground was broken on the campus
of Ocean County College for the new Ocean County Vocational Technical School Performing Arts Academy The new OCVTS Perfor ming Ar ts Academy will be a 50,000-square-foot building intended to “provide a rigorous education for creatively gifted high school students, (offering) majors in theater, vocal, dance, and audio engineering,” according to their press release. The construction of the building
is already underway, and is expected to be completed by December 2019. The PAA is a four-year public high school, currently located at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. When the announcement of the new academy was made last year, it came as welcome news. The current location is distant and difficult to get to and from. The academy will provide students with credits for college. In collabora-
tion with OCC, OCVTS’s early college program will allow high school students to graduate with a high school diploma and an associate’s degree from OCC at the same time. Students will be exiting high school already halfway to a bachelor’s degree, all for a fraction of the tuition cost of a university degree. In turn, OCC students will be able to use the new building at night. The state will fund $10.6 million toward the funding of the construction. Ocean County and the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation will each contribute $8 million. OCC will provide $2 million.

As a histor y teacher, there was a special place in his heart for children, education, history, and parks and open space. In fact, he was involved in a few of the stories on this list, such as the new school at OCC. Oyster Creek Closure & Sale One of the biggest news stories of the year was the official shut down of the oldest operating commercial nuclear power facility. Oyster Creek Generating Station closed its doors and turned the reactor off line for the last time on September 17, 2018 after 49 years in service. The plant began operation on December 23, 1969, gaining its full operating license by July 2, 1991. Oyster Creek was in the news consistently as it changed and moved up the date of closure from December 31, 2019 to September 17, 2018. The plant is currently in the beginning stages of the decommissioning process, which encompasses the removal of fuel from the reactor into a spent fuel pool. According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) original timeline, decommissioning will be complete in about 60 years. The process would allow for the removal of spent fuel from the site, as well as the dismantling and decontamination of the site for future use. On July 31, Exelon signed a purchase agreement with Holtec International, a C a md e n - b a s e d d r y c a s k s t o r a ge manufacturer, for the ownership of the nuclear power plant, which could significantly speed up decommissioning. Under t he ter m s of t he pu rcha se agreement, Holtec will take over the decommissioning process, decreasing the decommissioning timeline from Exelon’s estimated 60 years to just 8 years. Should the sale be approved, Exelon would be transfer ring the license of Oyster Creek over to Holtec. The NRC is currently reviewing the terms of the sale to Holtec; a decision is expected to be made by May 2019. Kimberly Bosco contributed to this story

Director:
Continued From Page 1 why I would want to leave. There are the woods; the western part was very rural. Of course, I grew up in Lakewood, but from two years old I was in Ocean County Park, so, this was my playground,” Haines said. Outside, she pointed to the second-story at the back of the academy: a living room, bedroom, the home she, her siblings and parents had occupied when it was a family home. She pointed to a tree across the lawn - the tallest in a cluster of tall trees - that she remembered climbing up as a very young girl, but couldn’t climb down. Her father had to recruit some park employees to retrieve her. “But then you have the ocean. You have everything here in Ocean County. To me, it was the perfect place to grow up.” Ocean County Park was part of the vacation estate of John D. Rockefeller. In the early 1940s, the family gifted the estate to the county, which the Ocean County Freeholders then used to establish the county’s first park. The police academy was established in 1960. Haines’ father came back from the war and started working for the county park in 1945. The house had three apartments, one downstairs and two upstairs. The family settled there in 1948, before building a home next to Haines’ grandparents on the western side of Lakewood, on a plot owned by her great-grandfather, in 1957, four miles outside town. Inside the park though, it was a mile from her front door to the gate at Ocean Avenue, a familiar path she walked to catch the bus. Haines went to Ella G. Clark School, Lakewood Junior High and Lakewood High School, when Jackson, Manchester and Lakehurst students were still bussed in. Her parents wanted her to focus on her studies; she was a cheerleader and babysat for some spending money. Her first job after graduating was working for the Ocean County Health Department. Haines settled in Toms River, where she’s lived for nearly 40 years. “There are so many people who have been mentors in my life,” she said, but named her mother as her strongest influence. “She, and my father, the things they instilled in us… They were very active in the community. They really cared, and my mother, she was a nurse, but at one point she was also welfare director in Lakewood. She would not just only go to the office, and did what she had to do for them, she would drive, she would find a job for someone. She would drive them to that job. If they called
her out at 2 o’clock in the morning, she was there. She always gave 110 percent. And that’s where I think I learned a lot from.” And it was her mother and father that got her started in politics. Active in the local Republican party, they would stump for candidates during election seasons. Haines’ first campaign was for Joseph Buckelew, who would later be so instrumental in her own political career, and George Buckwald, running for township committee. She was a young teen then and worked on different campaigns in her teens and 20s, stuffing and labeling envelopes, running phone banks, and polling voters. “It was not a hard decision at all,” Buckelew said in a phone interview Dec. 14. He was the Ocean County Republican Chairman when Haines approached him about running for a seat in the 10th Legislative District. He immediately supported her bid. “I was county chairman at that time, and had been encouraging women to be more involved in the Republican organization. Hazel Gluck was a protégé of mine as well… [Gluck was the first female freeholder director, who served in 1978.] The first ingredient to having a good politician is intelligence. Ginny is intelligent. The second is common sense, and she had common sense. The third, and probably most important, is honesty, and she is honest as the day is long. She filled all those criteria.” But before she embarked on her own career in politics, she worked for newly elected Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. for six years, starting in 1980, and then worked in then-Assemblyman Robert Singer’s legislative office for one year. She was then selected to serve as Clerk of the Assembly. “I learned so much listening to both sides of the aisle, the Republicans and the Democrats going back and forth on so much legislation,” Haines said. “I might have gone in that day with an opinion on a particular bill - I didn’t vote, I was Clerk of the Assembly - and then I would realize, and then you would hear another viewpoint and say, ‘They are really making sense.’” Republican control of the Assembly was short lived, and she was no longer clerk. About a year later, the legislative districts had changed, and it was then Haines approached Buckelew about running. “I realized, it’s not so much that you needed to have a degree when being a legislator, it’s just that as long as you showed you were honest with the people when you spoke with them, you showed an interest and that you cared, and (Director - See Page 28)

Continued From Page 26 that you really listen to what they said and you wanted to do what was going to be best for your legislative district and, of course, ultimately, always the State of New Jersey, I felt I could do the job,” Haines said. Buckelew supported her nod. Virginia Haines’ career in politics began in August 1990. She teamed with David Wolfe and Andrew Ciesla, and was only the fifth woman from Ocean County at that time to be elected to the Assembly. “And I’m very proud to say, for that first time running, I was top vote-getter,” Haines said. “It was Ciesla, Wolfe & Haines, and I was top vote-getter.” The self-described “moderate Republican’s” list of personal and political accomplishments is long. She served as Executive Director of the New Jersey Lottery for eight years. On the Toms River committee to fill a vacancy. As the National Republican Committeewoman – New Jersey. As co-chair of the Republican National Committee Northeast Region. As delegate for the Republican National Convention. As chair of the Ocean County College Foundation Board. With the Jersey Shore Council of Boy Scouts, the Monmouth/Ocean Foodbank, the Ocean County Heart Association, the United Way, the Local Advisory Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse of Ocean County. As a member of the Rotary Club of Toms River, the Toms River Student Loan Fund Board and the Advisory Council for Big Brothers/Big Sisters. Ocean County Freeholder since Jan. 27, 2016, filling the vacancy left by James F. Lacey. And now she can add Freeholder Director, the first woman in 40 years to hold that position. It’s been the tradition of Ocean County’s freeholders to rotate the directorship annually, outgoing Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said in a phone call Dec. 14. “I’ve chatted with everyone [on the Freeholder Board] individually, and it’s a consensus that we think Freeholder Haines is very enthusiastic and she’s talented and she has certainly earned the gavel and so we’re going to be thrilled to ask her take that responsibility next year,” Little said. “We’re delighted, and we know she’ll do a good job.” Little will hand off that gavel to Haines at the Board’s reorganization meeting Jan. 2. “I know one of the things, and I’m sure there will be others, but one of the things is the opioid epidemic,” Haines responded when asked

what her priorities were for 2019. She praised both former prosecutor Joseph Coronato for his programs and new prosecutor Bradley Billhimer’s commitment to not only continue that work, but expand on it. For instance, the county’s Blue HART program allows addicts to reach out to local police departments to get into participating treatment facilities. “I know, to me, the one thing we do need are more treatment centers,” Haines said. “There’s a lot of support out there, there are many agencies that we have that people can go to for counseling. But I feel we need to do what we can for the treatment because it used to be 28 days. I understand that in some areas, you’re only going to get 14 days. If someone has an addiction, I don’t know how 14 days is going to do anything to help that individual. I’m hoping to work with my fellow freeholders on solutions to whatever we can possibly do to work with other agencies to find out what is needed, what is the best solution.” Gluck winters in Florida but maintains a home in Ocean County. Haines hasn’t had a chance to speak with her yet. “She was a trailblazer in a lot of ways, besides being the first female Freeholder Director,” Haines said about Gluck. In total, there have been only six women from Ocean County who have gone to the state legislature. And while Haines said it should be about the character, and not sex, of a person that matters, women do have so much to offer in politics. “Woman have just as much ability to be an elected official. They have just as much to give in that position as anybody, as any man can. Unfortunately, the way society has been through the years, it’s still in a sense a man’s world. It is changing, I think, with the younger generation.” Haines never thought she’d run for office. She loved working on campaigns. But working as Clerk of the Assembly changed her mind, and her trajectory. “I realized I can do this job just as much as [men] can,” she said. Although she has no aspirations for higher office at this point; she loves being a Freeholder. “She brings a great effort to Board of Chosen Freeholders. Ocean County is lucky to have a person like that to serve in office. It is a great honor to be director,” Buckelew said. There have maybe been 50 persons total who have served as county freeholder since the county was founded in 1850, and out of those, only a couple woman. “Having women in politics is essential today. It was essential always, but more essential today.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of dec 29 - jan 4
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The search for love and companionship can challenge your judgment this week. It is easy to mistake lust for love or possessiveness for affection. Wait for better celestial patterns before making a romantic commitment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the week ahead, you may feel an affinity for the tarot card that depicts a hoodwinked maiden. Like her, you may not be able to see everything clearly because your fantasies and desires blind you to the facts. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Rise above the fray. Act on your finest instincts and highest ideals and you will achieve harmony that stabilizes a key relationship. As this week unfolds make permanent improvements that enrich the future. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the week ahead, someone could be impressed by your stockpile of business knowledge. This may be a good time to turn a profit on what has only been a hobby. Be aware that you may misinterpret some messages. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Business ideas and ambition motivates you but acting on a desire for instant gratification can backfire. This is a poor week to dive into a new romantic partnership. Something worth having it is worth waiting for. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Double check the dates and numbers. You might find that your schedule is disrupted by minor mix-ups and miscommunications. By the end of the week you will
forget that there were any problems or missteps. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are judged by the company you keep. If you feel that others are not supporting your goals you may, unwisely, try to force the issue. Remain focused on business as usual even though there is a holiday this week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You must work before you can play. Concentrate on work and maintaining your momentum even if someone is in relentless amorous pursuit. There will be plenty of time for romantic meetings later this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Make your way with words of wisdom. People will tend to trust you if you are frank and aboveboard. All the same, this is a poor week to make a promise, make an investment, or to start a new relationship. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep your nose pressed to the grindstone in the week ahead. You might rather be out partying, but it will be hard work and perseverance that provide the greatest rewards. Enjoy the holidays when there is time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Once you get to know someone better you may detect strong ethics. However, that serious side may dampen your expectations this week. A little patience will pay off where a romantic connection is concerned. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Wrap up business deals as well as presents. Complete whatever you have already begun. You will be better off if you wait until the end of the week to adjust your finances or make any further holiday purchases.

VACHERIN WITH HAZELNUT MERINGUE, QUICK GINGER ICE CREAM & CHOCOLATE-RUM SAUCE Serves 6 HAZELNUT MERINGUE: 1/2 cup (125 mL) whole shelled hazelnuts, about 2 ounces (60 g) in weight 4 large egg whites 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar QUICK GINGER ICE CREAM: 1 pint (500 mL) good-quality vanilla ice cream, softened 1/4 cup (60 mL) minced candied ginger CHOCOLATE-RUM SAUCE: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup (125 mL) water 1/3 cup (85 mL) heavy cream 2 tablespoons honey 1/2 pound (250 g) bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons dark rum 1/2 cup (125 mL) sweetened whipped cream, for serving For the hazelnut meringues, preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Spread the hazelnuts in a pie plate and bake them until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool. Then, fold the nuts inside a clean kitchen towel and rub to loosen the skins. Unfold the towel, transfer the nuts to a food processor, and shake the skins into the trash. Pulse the processor on and off until the nuts are finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Reduce the oven temperature to 225 F (105 C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 3-inch (7.5-cm) cookie cutter as a guide, trace six circles on the paper, spacing them equally; turn the paper over. In a medium-sized stainless-steel bowl, use a handheld mixer at medium speed to beat together the egg whites and cream of tartar until the whites form soft peaks that droop slightly when the beaters are lifted out. Still beating, gradually sprinkle in the granulated sugar; beat until the whites look glossy and form firm peaks that hold their shape when the beaters are lifted out, about 3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla. Hold a fine-meshed sieve over the bowl and sift the confectioners’ sugar over the egg whites while folding it in with a rubber spatula. Fold in the chopped hazelnuts. Drop a large spoonful of this meringue inside each of the circles and spread until the circle is filled; then top with more meringue until each circle is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) tall, using the underside of the spoon to shape the center of each circle slightly lower than the side. Bake until the meringues are dry, crisp and barely browned, about 2 hours. Remove from the oven to a wire rack to cool completely. Then gently lift the meringues off the parchment and transfer to an airtight container. For the ice cream, put the softened ice cream in a large bowl and stir in the candied ginger. Cover and freeze until firm, about 1 hour. For the chocolate-rum Sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the water, cream and honey, raise the heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Put the chocolate in a medium bowl, and pour the hot cream mixture over it. Let stand until the chocolate melts, about 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Stir in the rum. To assemble, place a meringue on each individual serving plate. Top with a scoop of the ice cream. Drizzle the sauce over the ice cream, and top with a dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately.
