By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS - Each February, the Polar Bear Plunge tests the resolve of thousands of brave plungers from around the Garden State.

This year’s 26th annual NJ Polar Bear Plunge was no exception as thousands of plungers ran, jumped or waded thei r way i nto some chilly waves as a means to support a good cause.

That cause was the Special Olympics New Jersey. The plunge site in Seaside Heights draws one of the largest crowds for this charity.

They came out in all shapes and sizes, ages and attire to dip more than their toe into the 41-degree water along the borough ocean front.

Some plunged as members of teams, organizations, and businesses, while others went solo.

during event day. Last year, 7,100 plungers entered the surf raising $2.2 million.

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Members of the Township Planning Board recently approved an application for Trophy Park - which is one of two sports complex plans that will help transform Jackson into a recreation destination.

During a recent meeting of the Planning Board, Trophy Park’s General Development Plan was heard and approved. The application hearing was a continuation from a December meeting which introduced the project.

The site of Trophy Park is in the township’s commercial recreation district (CR-1) and not in the Pinelands (Trophy - See Page 4)

Superintendent Calls On Parental Help For State Aid

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – District officials are lobbying the state to reverse cuts that have left them with a $1.35 million shortfall this year. But they can’t do it alone. They are also calling for parents to support efforts that would return Jackson to the funding amounts it had.

The Jackson School District has joined at least 11 school districts to fight against the recent cuts to state aid involving litigation for “what we consider to be an unjust and inequitable school funding law known as S2,” Superintendent Stephen Genco said.

“We want people to see the real dilemma, that this district is now in year two of S2,” Genco said during a recent board meeting where the board announced the start of its budget preparation. If funding doesn’t change, the district will look a lot

different in future years.

Genco has stated for months now that the state aid cuts will not only affect the current school year but would impact several years to come.

According to the district’s website, “Under this funding law, the Jackson School District stands to lose a total of $17.3 million in aid over the next seven years. This would have a devastating impact on our programs and students.”

A presentation shown during a recent Board of Education meeting showed the estimated cuts that the district will receive: • 2019-2020 = $1.35 million • 2020-2021 = $1.7 million • 2021-2022 = $2.4 million • 2022-2023 = $3.1 million • 2023-2024 = $3.6 million

Freeholders Condemn Website As Anti-Semitic

All the resolutions were approved together.

The social media site has been accused of stirring up aggression against Or thodox Jews in Lakewood and surrounding towns, culminating in a documentary that was scheduled to come out this month but has been postponed

While bathing tr unks, bikinis and various st yle swim suits were wor n during the event, some plungers took the occasion to be a bit more creative with a variety of costumes to plunge in.

T he Her rera fam ily of West New York donned shark hats and special T-shirts as this year’s costume theme.

This marked their seventh plunge. “It is a good cause and we have fun doing this,” Daddy Shark Joey Herrera said.

The team sang the popular song “Baby Shark” to get prepared for the plunge.

Kelsey Deeg, of Oradell, enjoyed her third plunge. “I’m a social worker who works with special needs adults.”

Deeg plunged with her boyfriend and she met John Sesso, Toms River who was also not with a team. Sesso sported all yellow attire from his fedora hat to his socks and shoes. “This is my first year. I’m doing this as a way to give back and for my late brother’s god child.”

Members of the Ice Slayers (made up of mostly EMTs from around Ocean County) took their sixth plunge. The 10 -member team feat u red members who had plunged together for six years.

“I’ve done this for 18 years,” said Ron Parry of Toms River. “I’ve done it when it was held in Point Pleasant, here in

Seaside Heights and when it was held in Long Branch after Superstorm Sandy.”

Brian Gunnigle, Bayville, said that the plunge is not just a team event but a family one as well. Members of his family joined the team and entered the icy surf. “We all used to work together at Alert Ambulance in Lakewood. My son has cerebral palsy so this is also personal for me.”

Brian P. Smith, a former Toms River resident who currently resides in the Philadelphia suburb of Folcroft Pa. made a special trip out to join his fellow EMT friends for the activity.

“As a group we raised $1,931 this year,” Smith said as he held a white plunger with a mini polar bear attached to the top of it. Smith made the plunger which is now a new tradition for the team. The holder of it is the team member who has raised the most money toward the total. “I will hold onto it until the next year.”

This marked the first year for team members Anastasia Parry, 8, and Kayleigh McDonough, Bayville.

“I’ve got my water shoes on and I’m ready,” Anastasia said with a smile.

Team Loreal CPD assembled outside of Bobbers Restaurant in Seaside Heights where they had breakfast. They wore their bright blue team hoodies for a group shot outside the eatery.

Chris Drudy, Hamilton, said this would be the second year for the 12-member team which had Loreal as a sponsor. “I’ve done it in previous years as Special Olympics is a great cause.”

Continued From Page 1 to an unknown date.

A statement from Rise Up explained that the documentary was delayed because a screening committee had identified nine minutes of video that could expose the group to civil litigation due to “personal identifiers” being recorded. The documentary focuses on three instances of alleged criminal activity, and attorneys who screened it also thought that more documentation was needed to back up the claims.

An unnamed representative from the site told JerseyShoreOnline.com in a previous interview that their efforts aren’t anti-Semitic, but focus on what they feel are immoral or illegal practices regarding such things as housing.

Orthodox Jews in the area see the posts it shares as hateful – and the angry, sometimes threatening tone of the people commenting, as proof of the fact that it was meant to be divisive.

However, it wasn’t just Orthodox Jews that took offense to the social media page. If it was intended to cause a divide, it had actually caused people of different cultures to speak at the Freeholder meeting against it.

Lakewood Board of Education member Ada Gonzalez, Michael Cohen from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, state chair of the NAACP Mike McNeil, and several others praised the Freeholders for their condemnation of the site.

Rabbi Avi Schnall, director of Agudath Is-

rael of America, a religious advocacy group, said that the Freeholders’ statement was a historic one. However, there was another incident that happened on the same day, Feb. 20, but 80 years ago. Madison Square Garden was host to more than 20,000 at a pro-Nazi rally. Jews in the area were beaten.

“The messages are not on banners anymore,” he said of Nazi signs. “They rest on social media websites.”

Last year, on Memorial Day weekend, houses of worship across denominations sent out the same message: Love Thy Neighbor. Colin Lewis, an activist in Ocean County, reminded the crowd of how people came together for that simple message.

“Speech that puts you down is not what we want here,” he said. “We want speech that’s going to build people up.”

Community advocate Rabbi Moshe Zev Weisberg said the website was “hate speech disguised as issue-oriented.” He said there are definitely issues that need to be discussed, but this site is not interested in discussion.

He said it was humbling to see a diverse group of people uniting against it. “Today they might come for me and my kind, but tomorrow they might come for you and your kind.”

Chanie Jacobowitz, a vice president at Beth Medrash Govoha, said that the school was created by Rabbi Aaron Kotler in 1943 after he came here as a refuge.

“It’s disconcerting to us to see anti-Semitism that we thought was left behind in Europe,” she said. “This website has shown (Website - See Page 4)

Trophy:

Continued From Page 1 region. It will be located near the corner of Route 537 and Hawkin Road.

The $120 million project involves the development of 194 acres of land and is the brainchild of developer Alan Nau. The project includes a 6,000-seat outdoor soccer stadium. It also includes 16 baseball and softball fields, 10 lacrosse fields, batting cages, field hockey and several practice fields. All fields will utilize synthetic turf.

Trophy Pa rk w i l l a l so fe at u r e a 400,00-square-foot, two story, 18-court indoor basketball facility. The plan also includes the building of three restaurants, and retail space and hotels. A maximum of 500 employees would be working during peak work times and 600 players would use the facility on weekends.

Nau said that Trophy Park “is strictly spor ts.” This will distinguish itself from another sports complex project by Cardinale Enterprises which recently

gained zoning board approvals. That plan also includes other forms of recreation entertainment such as wall climbing and laser tag.

Trophy Park will draw approximately 2,000 athletes each week who would compete in youth athletic tournaments, according to Nau. “The closest sports project of this type on the northeast is Cooperstown, New York which hosts yout h ba sebal l t e a m s. He sa id t he planned complex has already attracted the attention teams outside the country “and we don’t have a shovel in the ground.”

Nau said that “kids can come in the summer for a week and their parents and siblings can enjoy other things in the area during that time like Great Adventure.

Even though (Six Flags and the Cardinale Enterprises) projects are different I see no conf lict at all,” Nau said.

The athletes would be able to stay in a team suite at the facility that would not include a kitchen while their parents would stay in two hotels on the property.

The maximum occupancy for partic-

ipants was stated to be about 1,800, which is based on the number of beds in the team suites. Around 40 percent of the athletes would arrive by bus or van.

Others would be dropped off in personal vehicles.

Nau is optimistic about what his project will bring to Jackson. “This will bring a lot of jobs and will make history here.

There is no place in the northeast that will offer the kinds of tournaments we will host. This is a $15 billion industry and we will be giving kids a lot of great opportunities,” Nau said.

Township Councilman Ken Bressi, who is a member of the Planning Board, recommended a study be performed to explore the impact of traffic that would be occur on Route 537 by the operation of Trophy Park. Bressi also wants to see are more specifics concerning emergency entrances for emergency response vehicles at the facility.

Nau told the board during the meeting that he and his professional staff would make sure that proper egress was provided and that public safety was a top

priority. He noted that his background included entertainment projects such as concerts and many different venues where large numbers of people would be present and where people were present for hours at a time and needed easy entry and departure.

Attorney John J. Jackson III and professional planner Jerome Lange represent Nau’s plan. Jackson said during the meeting that more details would be provided to the board as the project progresses including information about the traffic concerns expressed.

Lange told the board that fertilizers and pesticides would not be used at the site and the artificial turf would prevent any runoff.

Representatives of Trophy Park are set to return before the board when public hearings are held on specific aspects of the site plan.

The application received an 8-1 approval vote. In favor of the plan was Bressi, Board Chairman Joseph Riccardi, Vice Chairman Robert Hudak, Leonard Haring Jr., Jeff Riker, Martin Flemming, Tim Dolan, and Michele Campbell while member Richard Egan voted against the application.

In an interview after the planning board meeting, Nau added that “I needed to get the (General Development Plan) approved before I could do the design work for all the buildings but now that it has been approved I am anxious to move forward.

“We will be going back to the planning board hopefully by May or June with the plans so we can get on with the construction,” Nau said. “We are getting calls from more people who want to come here including an organization that has $85,000 members. I’m happy that we received approval for the team suites as that will allow them (the athletes) to be there for a week.”

During a Feb. 26 Township Council meeting, the subject of Trophy Park’s approval was noted by resident Denise Garner who asked whether the planning board had determined if the accommodations were classified as dormitories (a non-permitted use).

Councilman Bressi, who serves on the planning board and Council President Robert Nixon both said the planning board had determined and approved the rest areas as suites, not dormitories.

It was passed unanimously by the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders with only one comment. Freeholder Director Virginia Haines said that people need to unite, rather than divide each other.

After the Freeholder meeting, Rise Up posted a retort to the Freeholders, calling them traitors.

It said that there is “no anti-Semitism, no hate” on their site. It also accused the Freeholders of selling out “for a few sheqels and a Lakewood Vaad endorsement.”

Legislation Will Expand Paid Family Leave

From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON - Acting on his commitment to support and uplift New Jersey’s middle class, Governor Phil Murphy today signed into law a sweeping expansion to the state’s paid family leave program. New Jersey enacted a paid family leave program in 2008 and today’s law significantly expands that program to provide additional job protections for those who miss work due to caring for a newborn child or a sick loved one.

“No one should ever be forced to choose between caring for a family member and earning a paycheck,” said Governor Murphy. “By providing the most expansive paid family leave time and benefits in the nation, we are ensuring that New Jerseyans no longer have to face such a decision and that working families are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve. This comprehensive paid family leave program, coupled with the newly passed

2024-2025 = $4.1 million Genco said he would be meeting with various parent groups within the Jackson School District and urging parents to take action to help restore state aid funding for students of the district. “This is a starting point tonight,” Genco said during a Feb. 19 board meeting.

“We are asking our parents to get involved now. I’ve been going to PTA to PTA meeting and going to faculty meeting to faculty meeting,” Genco said.

According to the district’s website the administration is calling their advocacy plan an “ABC” method, or “Advocating

earned sick leave and minimum wage increase, are fundamental elements in building a stronger and fairer New Jersey for all working families.”

A3975 changes New Jersey’s paid family leave program in a number of ways, including the following: Doubling the number of weeks for Family Leave Insurance (FLI) and Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI): Employees can take up to 12 consecutive weeks of paid family leave or temporary disability insurance during any 12-month period, beginning in July 2020. Currently, employees are only able to take up to 6 weeks of FLI or TDI in a 12-month period.

Increasing the weekly benefit:

Ronald S. Dancer, and Assemblyman Robert D. Clifton. Genco said the district may also contact State Department of Education Commissioner Lamont Repollet and Senate President Stephen Sweeney about the issue.

“We’ve been meeting with our legislators Assemblyman Dancer, Assemblyman Clifton and Sen. Thompson,” Genco added.

“When they (State education representatives) talk about us being over budget I don’t know what numbers they are using to equate that,” Genco said.

“It is hypocritical to say we are over funded when we are spending under our means. The lawsuit is asking for us to see how they are spending that money and divvying it up because it makes no sense to us and it makes no sense to the other districts,” Genco said.

“We are also part of the 71 district SOS (Save Our Schools) lobbying arm, 107 districts lost funding and 480 gained funding. We don’t

Individuals can now receive 85 percent of their weekly wage, with the maximum possible benefit going up to 70 percent of the statewide average weekly wage. Using data from this year, the maximum possible benefit would go up from $650 a week to $860 a week under this law.

Increasing intermittent leave from 42 days to 56 days: Workers will be able to take up to 56 days of intermittent leave within a 12-month period, beginning in July 2020.

Anti-retaliation provisions: Employers with over 30 employees will be barred from retaliating or discriminating against an employee because they took family leave.

Expanding individuals eligible to take paid family leave: The newly signed legislation expands paid family leave to include caring for siblings, in-laws, grandparents, grandchildren, other blood relatives, and any other individuals who can be shown to have the equivalent of a family relationship.

Including domestic and sexual violence: The bill explicitly allows family temporary disability leave to be taken for medical attention, counseling, or legal assistance or proceedings arising out of domestic violence or sexual violence.

An individual can take family leave under this provision if they themselves were the

begrudge those who gained funding that they were entitled but what we are asking out of that group is to actually freeze funding until you have accurate numbers to look at,” Genco added.

Genco said that “when we say accurate numbers what we mean is that there is over 50 towns that have not been re-assessed in years and part of the funding formula is developed from the assessment of the town.”

Towns are periodically re-assessed, during which tax assessors visit every neighborhood and determine what every property is worth. This is done to ensure that everyone is paying their fair share of taxes. Critics of the new school funding formula have pointed out that some towns do not have updated assessments and so they are more wealthy than they appear on paper.

“I can tell you that if these cuts stay intact, this district will not look like anything like it does now between programs and

victim of domestic or sexual violence, or if they need to care for a family member who was such a victim.

“Expanding family leave means people can take needed time off to care for each other without the worry of losing their paycheck, or even worse, their job,” said Lt. Governor Sheila Y. Oliver, who also serves as Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs. “Taking care of family members is a fact of life that we will all have to face at some point and by signing this bill today, we are making it possible for working people to take care of each other without risking their livelihood.”

staffing,” Genco said.

Genco said however that “I don’t believe it will remain so because I don’t believe the legislative body would want to be responsible for what would happen to districts.

Fiscally, we are in better shape than many of the large districts that are getting hit with the exact same cuts. Toms River, Brick, Old Bridge, Manalapan, Englishtown are all districts that are part of the lawsuit.

“That said, were it to remain intact through year three and four we would be looking at programs and tremendous amount of staff impacted. I don’t know how we would handle it. We do have ideas on how we will get to the numbers this year,” Genco said.

Details on the state aid cuts and related information can be found on the district’s website at jacksonsd.org/cms/lib/ NJ01912744/Centricity/Domain/2061/ Advocating.pdf.

Dept. Of Agriculture Seeking Agencies To Sponsor Meals For Summer Nutrition Program TRENTON – New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher today encouraged organizations to help provide nutritious meals to children in low-income areas during the summer months through the Department’s Summer Food Service Program.

The Summer Food Program began in 1976 as an outgrowth of the National School Lunch Program. The Summer Food Service Program is designed to reach those who are age 18 or younger in economically disadvantaged areas. It also is open to people over 18 who are mentally or physically handicapped and who participate in public or nonprofit private programs established for the disabled.

The federally funded program reimburses participating organizations for meals served to children who live in areas in which at least 50 percent of the children qualify for free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Program.

Applicants may include public or private nonprofit school food authorities, units of local, municipal, county or state governments, public or private nonprofit organizations, residential summer camps or national youth sports programs.

Organizations approved to sponsor the Summer Food Service Program are responsible for managing the feeding sites that provide the meals to young children.

Most participating organizations may be reimbursed for up to two meals daily.

Meals may also be reimbursed for nights and weekends. Those serving primarily migrant children may be reimbursed for up to three meals a day.

Residential camps may serve up to three meals a day, but are reimbursed only for meals served to children eligible for free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Program.

More than 590,000 children in New Jersey receive free or reduced-price meals in their schools under the National School Lunch Program. In 2018, only 18 percent of the children in the state participating in the National School Lunch Program had access to nutritious meals in the summer. In 2018, 128 organizations participated in the Summer Food Service Program serving nutritious meals to over 1,400 summer meal sites.

In addition to the Summer Food Program, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, Division of Food and Nutrition, administers a number of programs devoted to improving the quality and provision of food to New Jersey residents, in particular those most in need, including School Nutrition Programs and the Child and Adult Care Food Program.

The Division of Food and Nutrition also administers The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), which distributes federally donated commodities to six emergency feeding organizations statewide.

These federally donated foods are distributed to more than 700 soup kitchens, food pantries and public feeding sites serving the state’s neediest citizens.

For more information on the Summer Food Service Program or to obtain an application, call (609) 292-4498. The deadline for submission of completed applications is March 20, 2019.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Loss Of Balance And Unsteadiness Loss of balance and unsteadiness are changes often seen as a function of aging, the number one health concern of individuals in their later years. Over $3 billion are spent in medical expenses due to balance related falls. Human equilibrium is a complex interaction which requires correct input from three receptors: the inner ear, vision and somatosensory receptors, which is our contact, with our feet, ankles, muscles and joints. All three signals must be received by our central nervous system. Then, the cerebellum, which is the motor of the brain, must execute the correct movement of our musculoskeletal system to maintain our center of gravity. If any one or several components of this complicated system are not working properly, then we will have a loss of sure footedness or movement coordination. The natural aging process may effect any one or all of these senses as well as the nervous system’s ability to interpret them and then to react quickly. It is very common for someone

who has fallen to say they saw the curb or step, but just were not able to maintain their balance. Common illnesses or diseases with aging which cause decreased hearing and vision also cause a decrease in a person’s balance. For most people, however, this occurs over several years.

Sometimes, it is noticed as difficulty walking, particularly up or down steps or across surfaces such as thick carpeting.

Balance retraining programs have helped thousands of older adults with fall prevention to improve balance and coordination. These programs are specially designed for the individual based on their strengths and weaknesses. The programs work in coordination with the patient’s health care provider so that continuity of care is not sacrificed.

If you feel unsteady on your feet and have had difficulty maintaining your balance (like a sensation of feeling drunk), you may wish to contact Dr. Izzy at 732276-1011, who may be able to provide you with some answers.

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!

Diet Drinks May Increase Stroke And Disability

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

We are so attached to our food and drink that it pains me when I have to take something away from you. But this is an old story for me. I have never ever recommended artificially sweetened sodas or “diet” anything! To me, that whole industry is a multi-billion dollar campaign effort to get you to drink and eat things that aren’t, by definition, food anymore. The entire industry depends on the illusion of you thinking that diet drinks are healthy.

The latest research is frightening. It’s based upon data collected over 12 years and suggests that consuming just 5 diet drinks (sodas, juices, other) correlates to a much higher risk of stroke and heart disease, and in fact a dramatically higher risk of dying early from any cause. This data was extrapolated from a study on people over the age of 50, who did not have other major health problems. They were essentially well, but after drinking artificially sweetened drinks for 12 years, a lot of them had a stroke!

What’s wrong with water? Water does not come with the risk that one day someone will have to change your adult diapers.

Water makes sense, yet some health practitioners recommend “diet” beverages as a way to cut calories, support weight loss or improve health status. Very sad.

The study that I’ve been referring to is entitled: Artificially Sweetened Beverages and Stroke, Coronary Heart Disease, and All-Cause Mortality in the Women’s Health Initiative.

The study finds your risk for a hemorrhagic

stroke is dramatically higher if you drink a lot of diet sodas. No particular brand is the problem, it’s the artificial chemicals inside of these drinks. It’s egregious that these things are not only allowed to be sold, no less pitched to you as some healthy alternative. So it’s really up to you to know better.

The newest research was published in a journal called Stroke. Over 80,000 women were studied, most between the ages of 55 and 79. Drinking a couple of diet drinks each day (335ml which is the amount in a typical can of soda) increases your risk for stroke by 23% compared to women who drink less than one per week.

Every 40 seconds, someone in the US has a stroke. If survived, a stroke can leave one paralyzed and sometimes in need of nursing home care or bed-ridden. Other post-TIA or stroke disabilities include confusion, inability to speak or understand language, poor memory, difficulty swallowing food (requiring a feeding tube) or blindness and/ or hearing loss.

Other factors that further raise your risk include being overweight, sedentary, nutritionally deficient in essential nutrients or fatty acids that support brain health, and of course your genes. Impending signs include sudden eyesight loss or visual changes, slurring, inability to speak or understand, tingling and balance problems.

County GOP Picks Wolfe’s Replacement, Other Candidates

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Republica n Organization announced their slate for November’s regional elections. Incumbents took up most of the spots, but there was a group of candidates seeking to replace retiring Assemblyman David Wolfe on the ballot.

Wolfe, who had been an assemblyman since 1992, announced earlier this year that he would not be running for another term. The 10th District is made up of the following towns: Bay Head, Brick Township, Island Heights, Lakehurst, Lavallette, Manchester, Mantoloking, Point Pleasant Beach, Seaside Heights, and Toms River.

A slew of candidates stepped forward, seeking to have the party’s endorsement. According to a press release from the county Republicans, the following people were interviewed by the screening committee: Mayor Stephen Reid f rom Point Pleasant Beach, D’A rcy Green of Mantoloking, Councilman Daniel Rodrick from Toms River, and Councilman Jim Davis from Lakehurst.

Wolfe was from Brick, and the GOP noted that three candidates came from that town: Ruthanne Scat ur ro, John Catalano and Samantha DeAlmeida.

“I (am) encouraged to see the rebirth of the Republican Party in Brick,” said GOP Chairman George Gilmore. Currently, there is only one Republican on the governing body, and he used to be a Democrat.

“Ruthanne has answered the call any time the party needed someone to step up and John has been a tireless advocate for candidates up and down the ballot,” he said. “At just 29 years old, Sam represents the future of the Republican party not only in Brick, but throughout the entire state. I have encouraged Sam to continue to build relationships and gain valuable experience at the local level, and I am hopeful that she will consider running for council in Brick.”

Ultimately, the screening committee recommended John Catalano from Brick to be on the ballot in November.

“John will be a tremendous candidate and I am confident that he will make a great member of the Assembly. John has proven himself as a fearless campaigner

for candidates throughout the county and I believe that he will continue to use that work ethic to earn the support of the voters,” Gilmore said.

In other races, the committee unanimously chose the following incumbents to run again: • Freeholder Virginia Haines

• • • • •

Freeholder Jack Kelly Sheriff Michael Mastronardy Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove (9 th District) Assembly man Br ian Ru mpf (9 t h District) A s s e mbly m a n G r eg Mc G u ck i n (10th District)

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The carbon monoxide detector isn’t blaring from a malfunction.

Ocean County Health Department officials are urging residents to take those alarms seriously. It could save a life.

Learn To Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

When a CO alarm sounds off, leave the home immediately and call for help.

“It’s called the silent killer because carbon monoxide is a gas that gives no warning - you can’t see it, taste it or smell it. Never gamble with your family’s health

and safety by assuming it just may be the batteries or some other unknown reason that triggered the device,” Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health said.

Heating and cooking appliances, tools,

vehicles, and other household devices can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, leading to more than 400 deaths each year in the United States.

Residents should have CO detectors on every level in their homes and near every sleeping area. Batteries should be replaced twice a year for daylights savings. Suspected malfunctioning batteries should be replaced immediately.

“During cold and inf luenza season, symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can easily be confused with symptoms of viral illness like the common cold or flu. If symptoms come on shortly after turning on a device in a certain room and go away after leaving the area or more than one person gets sick at the same time, then these are clues to help identify CO poisoning,” Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator, said.

Prevention is also key.

• Keep all heating and dryer vents clear of snow, leaves and other debris.

• Keep open flues when using a fireplace.

Have chimneys inspected for blockage.

• Don’t use the stove to heat the home/ apartment.

• Generators are for outdoor use only.

Keep them at least 20 feet from buildings, doors and windows.

• Keep generators, pressure washers, grills, camp stoves, or other gasoline, propane, natural gas or charcoal-burning devices out of the house (including a basement, garage, carport, camper, boat cabin, or tent) and away from open windows and doors.

• Do not idle vehicles in a closed garage.

“If someone is unresponsive or unconscious and you suspect them being exposed to CO poisoning, get them out of the house and call 9-1-1 without delay. Trying to open windows is only a waste of time and will only cause you to breathe in more of the dangerous fumes. However, it’s ok to leave the door open after you exit so fresh air can seep in,” Regenye said.

Open Space Purchased In Berkeley, Manchester, and Ocean Gate

–Photo by Patricia A. Miller On some lots in Good Luck, not much has changed since Superstorm Sandy.

By Patricia A. Miller since Superstorm Sandy blasted the Good and Jennifer Peacock Luck Point section of Bayville, destroying BERKELEY - It’s been more than six years many of the homes in one of the lowest sections of the township.

Most of the modest two- and three-bedroom ranch homes, many of which had been in families for years, are gone now. They have been replaced by much larger homes with multiple stories in the section east of Bayview Avenue.

But there are still a number of vacant lots in the area, which haven’t sold. Good Luck Point juts out into Barnegat Bay and frequently floods during storms.

And now the lots probably won’t be for sale. The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust has received nineteen voluntary requests from homeowners in the area who want to sell their properties to the trust, said Mark Villinger, the trust’s supervising planner.

The sale of the properties must be approved by the township and by the Ocean County Board of Freeholders, he said.

“A lot of these owners are very happy to see some movement,” Villinger told the Berkeley Times.

The cost of the Good Luck Point acreage will be paid for with the help of $4.2 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency money and a Department of Environmental Protection grant of $923,805. The county’s Natural Trust Fund will also provide $416,994, roughly eight percent of the cost, Freeholder Director Virginia Haines said.

“We are working in partnership with FEMA, the state DEP and the Office of Emergency Management and Berkeley Township to acquire these properties which were impacted by Superstorm Sandy in October 2012, resulting in the homes being demolished,” Haines said. “When we began to see an increase in the number of requests we were receiving for potential acquisitions in the area of Good Luck Point it was clear that there was a need for a larger acquisition project.”

Ten offers have been accepted as of press time, totaling $2.4 million, she said.

“These properties expand on existing natural lands open space and provide (Space - See Page 19)

jerseyshoreonline.com

Space:

Continued From Page 18 additional public access to the waterfront,” said Freeholder Gary Quinn, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Planning Department, which oversees the county’s Natural Lands Trust Fund.

“This was one of the areas of our county devastated by Superstorm Sandy,” Haines said. “By acquiring these properties we are hopeful it helps the property owners, who sustained a great loss. It also allows the township to receive additional points under the Community Rating System, which gives residents discounts on their flood insurance.”

Berkeley Council members voted unanimously at the Jan. 28 council meeting to approve the potential sale of the lots and marshland in the Good Luck Point area.

The county also wants to buy 4.7 acres on Chelsea Avenue in nearby Ocean Gate, at the mouth of Jeffries Creek that feeds into the Toms River. It features a beach, lagoon and bulkheading, which provides public access to the water. The land has some structures on it that have fallen into disrepair, which will be removed by the county, she said.

“This purchase will help us in our ongoing work to protect and preserve our waterways now and into the future.” Haines said.

Ocean Gate has already adopted a resolu-

The Jackson Times, March 2, 2019, Page 19 tion approving the purchase.

The advisory committee has also recommended the purchase of 5.68 acres in the Roosevelt City section of Manchester, appraised at $40,000. The scattered lots are near 1,700 acres called the Structural Management tract, purchased for preservation back in 2014.

“This acquisition will allow for the vacation of unimproved paper streets and enable better security and management of the existing natural lands property,” Haines said. “We estimate this natural-lands property will grow by about 100 acres if the streets are vacated.

“Buying these smaller lots that are near or adjacent to already preserved open space helps us with maintaining the property by creating one contiguous open space parcel.”

The Natural Lands Trust Fund program was established to acquire and maintain environmentally sensitive lands, natural areas or open spaces that would generally remain in their natural state and for farmland preservation, according to the program’s website.

The properties that are purchased will be used as passive recreation areas, Villinger said.

Ocean County residents approved the Natural Lands Trust Program back in 1997.

The program, which was established in 1998, provides a 1.2 cent dedicated tax for the county to acquire land. The trust has nine members.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

New Dog At My Neighbor’s House Dear Joel, I’ve lived next to my neighbor for 30 years. We really get along but he recently retired and got a beagle. He’s been looking forward to getting this dog for years, but every time the dog goes outside, he barks constantly. Last fall he dug up a patch in my flower garden. Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs but what can be done to restore our peaceful neighborhood.

Answer, Oh those barking dogs. They’re cute and cuddly, but the noise can wear on your nerves. It took my wife and me about two months of obedience training to get our dog to behave. Try to identify why the dog is barking. Maybe it would be good to talk to your neighbor about

converting part of his backyard into an exciting dog friendly environment.

I have a friend who installed a run, a pool, and digging patch for the dog, which he loaded with surprises. The dog is so preoccupied with activity, he plays for hours and he’s tired enough to sleep through the night. You might also contribute a few toys, as mixing up playthings is very effective. Be patient, good neighbors are a blessing.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself.

Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment.

When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy.

We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy.

The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets.

We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if

you/they are injured.

Michael J. Deem The Standard Policy does provide medical expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000 per person per accident.

The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses.

When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim.

You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.”

By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing.

Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets.

Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

NJ Residents Petition Against Affordable Housing

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – A petition started in Bernards Township, located in Somerset County, has made its way into Howell Township to denounce the state’s affordable housing obligation laws.

In light of recent township advances towards fulfilling Howell’s affordable housing obligation, residents have circulated the petition across social media, in the popular Howell Happenings NJ page. The petition, entitled New Jersey Affordable Housing – Time to Make it Fair, has gained 860 signatures of its 1,000 goal as of press time.

The petition states: “We are calling for reasonable ways to address the current problems to enact clear legislative guidelines that will: 1) ensure that AH benefits those in need; 2) implement a regional or statewide approach; 3) expand the ways in which municipalities can address their fair share of affordable housing - FAIRLY!” The petition was created by Friends of STQP, which stands for Stop the Quarry Plan, a group that originated in Bernards Township.

Should the petition receive its 1,000 signatures, the group plans to send it along to state legislators to make a stronger impact.

In June, Howell Tow nship passed a resolution that set the tow nship’s obligation at 895 affordable housing credits.

More recently, the township council passed five resolutions that could allow for the township to begin fulfilling its affordable housing obligation. At the Nov. 20 meeting, the council passed four resolutions which authorize developer’s agreements with Howell Family Apar tments, LLC, Kenneth Zaback, Tyrpak Road Group, LLC and FP Howell LLC to construct affordable housing units. Township Attorney Joseph Clark confirmed this, and noted that the fifth resolution authorized an amended settlement agreement with the Fair Share Housing Center.

Some of Howell’s newest cou ncil members, swor n in on Jan. 1, 2019, are outspoken in their stance against certain affordable housing measures.

Councilwoman Pamela Richmond stated during her swearing in that she is against high density housing.

The petition can be found at thepetitionsite.com/572/858/429/new-jerseyaf fordable-housing-t ime-to -make-it fair/?f bclid=IwA R1Evnluj93K H59x8rwr_ Pe2kcEZ373YaOVkVgHda2d3am3CsEOKPmrySO8.

Parents Are The Front Line Of Internet Safety

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - It is up to parents to manage their children’s internet access, and no one - not teachers and not the police - can do it for you.

That was the message given by Detective David Brubaker of the High Tech Crimes Unit Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office who presented an Internet Safety Forum at Brick Memorial High School.

“It’s all around us, our lives are immersed in technology, so you have to give kids some education to go along with it,” he said to scores of parents who came to learn about cyber bullying.

The High Tech Crimes Unit gets called out on every crime in Ocean County. The unit has four full-time examiners who conduct some 350 investigations a year.

The examiners perform digital forensics on submitted or seized devices. When there is a search warrant, they start with the router and work their way outward to laptops, desktops, cell phones, fax machines, printers, gaming machines and more.

“Give me someone’s phone and I’ll give you their life,” Brubaker said. “Everything’s traceable on the internet. You can hide behind a fake name and think you’re anonymous, but in four to eight weeks we can trace anything.”

Online threats, including cyberbullying, sexual predators and disturbing content is not just limited to kids, but Brubaker geared the presentation towards threats to school-age children.

“I’ve seen the smallest, quietest, straight-A, Boy Scout-type kids cyberbully,” Brubaker said. “Your kids are pack animals, and they always find the weak link, or the outsider.”

Online gaming can make your children vulnerable to sexual predators since oftentimes kids will give out more information than they should. Sexual predators want to meet your kids and your kids will give out details without even realizing it, he said.

Children should never click on an attachment or links of people they don’t know, he said. If they get a lot of pop-ups, that is a clue that they might have done this, Brubaker said.

“In reality, your kids are going to see porn at a young age. No one wants your child to see disturbing content, but unfortunately it’s a fact of life,” Brubaker said. “It’s up to you to deal with what they see - it’s upsetting but you have to deal with it.”

YouTube is the most popular social network for teens, followed by Instagram and Snapchat.

“Kids can search YouTube for any topic they want - it is the second largest search engine behind Google,” he said.

Snapchat, which is a messaging service that lets users send photos and videos to one another but then disappear after a set time, makes it easy to cyber bully since the

content cannot be retrieved.

“Maybe the NSA can retrieve it, but we cannot get Snapchats - once they’re gone, they’re gone,” he said. “We can see that something was sent, but not the content.”

Facebook is still the number one social medium, but that’s because it’s used by all ages and by businesses. Kids don’t use Facebook as much because “it’s not cool anymore,” the detective said.

The use of technology has quickly changed. Very few people sit down at a terminal unless they’re at work. About 80 percent of all social media happens on a cell phone, he said, which makes it easier for your kids to hide it when you walk into a room.

“Bullying will never go away, but if you educate your kids it might not happen as often,” he said.

Brubaker said the long-term effects of social media can follow someone all their life. Colleges have staff who snoop into kid’s backgrounds and proactively search all their social media before an acceptance.

Many potential employers do the same, he added.

After his PowerPoint presentation, Detective Brubaker took questions from the audience.

Several parents asked about the “Momo Challenge,” a social media game that encourages children to commit self-injurious acts. The challenge came to light in Brick when a student at Warren H. Wolf Elementary school had allegedly acted on some of the Momo challenges.

“Momo started with a challenge, like ‘draw on your arm,’ and then “stick a pin in your finger until you get a drop of blood,’” Brubaker said.

“It’s creepy and it will scare a kid, but parents have to talk to their kids and tell them no one on the internet will hurt you unless you do it yourself,” he said.

Susan McNamara, who is the district’s Director of Curriculum, said the best options to manage your children’s phones are parental controls, blocking certain sites, tracking their text messages and other provider tools.

“You have to talk to your children, not in a judgey way, but ask why do they want to go in that direction? What are they thinking? Tell them they’re not making the best choice and there are consequences,” she said during the Q and A. McNamara also suggested shutting the phone down once in a while, even though kids act like “taking away their phone is like taking away their life.”

One parent asked how to find out what the “next big thing” will be on social media.

Brubaker said parents have to educate themselves.

“Stay on top of what’s going on, that’s what parenting has turned into,” he said.

“You try to stay five steps behind them, not 20 steps behind.

“You have to keep up. You are the front line with bullies,” Brubaker said.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of Mar 2 - Mar 8

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When the bar is set high, you tend to try harder. A desire to reach the heights of perfection to impress someone can be a worthy incentive. Use your street smarts to upgrade your piggy bank in the upcoming week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As the week begins you may have a handle on shrewd business strategies, but by mid-week you may learn that money is the root of all evil. Focus your energies on being a responsible member of your community.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “My way or the highway” is not a motto that will win friends or help you attain your objectives in the week ahead. You may start off with high standards but could become discouraged when your desires are misunderstood.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A little romance and relaxation can brighten your day, but the coming work week will require you to shift your attention to obligations. A hard-working partner can set a fast pace and you may be challenged to keep up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be amazed at the way a loved one can elevate the atmosphere with charm and grace. You may ride a financial roller coaster in the week to come, and you may not be as shrewd or as lucky as you think.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today you may be able to charm your way past anyone’s objectives, but the rest of the week might not be as easy.

Avoid trying to take advantage of anyone as your strategies could backfire and cost you money.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your week may revolve around a partner’s ambitions or a loved one’s work schedule. By the weekend, however, you will have a chance to break free of restraints and try something more exciting.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Rely on your people skills for successful negotiations as this week unfolds. You can charm people into giving you a bargain rather than testing your luck with wheeling and dealing. Control extravagant spending habits.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Having fun may require a huge effort in the upcoming week but is well worth the bother. Overcome any temporary downturn in the atmosphere by focusing on hard work and staying within the budget.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the week ahead, you may feel driven to become more efficient and organized. You may think you are practical about purchases and sensible with the budget, but you could go to extremes without realizing it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today you are blessed with charm and poise under fire that will make everyone stand up and take notice. As the week goes by you will find it necessary to put more effort into actual work and spend less time dawdling.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may easily become sidetracked by material ambitions in the week ahead. Friends may encourage you to be more competitive, but this may not be a posture that fits your nature. Work hard but be patient.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Rustic Soup Brings Back Warm Family Memories

By Wolfgang Puck

I first learned to cook in a kitchen ruled by two strong, loving women: my mother and grandmother. They were both amazing cooks, and all these years later my mouth still waters when I think about the food they prepared.

They weren’t fancy about our daily food.

Though they both knew how to prepare the finest traditional Austrian dishes, they ran our home smartly and frugally. They grew most of their own vegetables, relying largely on fresh produce straight from our home garden along with smart pantry staples.

Among their most reliable staples were dried beans. Of course, they grew most of the beans they used. I remember scarlet runner beans that they let dry on the vines in the summer sun before shelling and storing them. There were white beans like cannellini, too, since we lived so close to the Italian border. And I’m sure they bought more beans at local street markets.

For such an inexpensive ingredient, dried beans provide generous flavor and texture, not to mention abundant healthy nutrients such as B vitamins, potassium, complex carbohydrates and fiber, along with good amounts of protein but little fat and no cholesterol. More than just a great accompaniment, they’re robust and flavorful enough to serve as a main dish in their own right.

Take, for example, my recipe for white bean soup with root vegetables. With generous quantities of root vegetables, a little bacon for extra flavor (though vegetarians and vegans could leave that out), and optional garnishes of sliced cooked sausage and freshly grated Parmesan (also easy to omit for those who don’t eat meat or dairy), it’s definitely a soup that adds up to a meal in itself.

With very little effort on your part, my recipe - which you can make with any variety of dried white beans - yields a generous quantity: 3 quarts (3 liters), the equivalent of a dozen 1-cup (250-mL) servings. So, unless you’re feeding a crowd, you can refrigerate or freeze leftovers to reheat for later.

Add some warm, crusty bread, a salad of flavorful leaves like kale, arugula or endive, or just a simple slaw of shredded cabbage and carrots, and you have a perfectly satisfying dinner. It’s the sort of meal that will make you feel as if you’re dining by the fireplace.

Once you’ve made the soup a few times, feel free to start experimenting. Use different kinds of beans, vegetables and seasonings. Add a smoked ham hock or turkey leg, if you like. In other words, make the recipe your own, reflecting whatever you have available that’s in season.

In other words, cook like my mother and grandmother did.

WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH ROOT VEGETABLES Makes 3 quarts (3 L)

2046 West County Line Road, Jackson

Call 732-905-9932 for an appointment today!

2 cups (500 mL) dried white beans 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 1/2 quarts (2.5 L) store-bought good-quality

low-sodium chicken stock or broth, or vegetable stock or broth 2 ounces (60 g) smoked bacon, about 3 slices, cut crosswise into strips 2 medium yellow onions, peeled, trimmed, and diced 2 large carrots, trimmed, peeled, and diced 2 small celery stalks, trimmed and diced 1 small bulb celeriac, peeled and diced 6 large garlic cloves, peeled and chopped 1/4 cup (60 mL) tomato paste 1 large tomato, about 8 ounces (250 g), peeled, seeded, and chopped 2 or 3 large fresh basil leaves 2 or 3 sprigs fresh Italian parsley 1 sprig fresh thyme 1 sprig fresh rosemary 1/3 cup (85 mL) sherry wine vinegar 2 teaspoons sugar Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper Sliced cooked sausage, for garnish, optional Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish, optional Start prepping the beans the night before.

Little by little, spread them out on a clean work surface and sort out any grit or other debris or malformed beans. Put the beans in a strainer, and rinse thoroughly with cold running water. Then, transfer them to a bowl, add cold water to cover them by at least 2 inches (5 cm), and leave at room temperature to soak overnight.

Start cooking the soup at least 3 hours before serving time, first draining the beans thoroughly.

Heat a large stockpot over medium heat, and add the olive oil. Add the bacon strips and cook, stirring frequently, until they have browned lightly, several minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove and discard the bacon.

In another pot, bring the stock or broth to a boil over medium-high heat; then, reduce the heat and keep warm.

While the stock is heating, add the onions, carrots, celery and celeriac to the pot containing the oil and bacon fat, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, chopped tomato and drained beans. With kitchen string, securely tie together the basil, parsley, thyme and rosemary. Add the bundle to the pot along with the vinegar and sugar. Pour in the hot stock or broth, and stir well. Season lightly with salt and white pepper.

Raise the heat, and bring the liquid to a full boil.

Then reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, and adding more stock or fresh water as needed to keep the beans fully covered.

When the beans are tender, remove and discard the herb bundle. Ladle out 2 cups (500 mL) of the beans and vegetables and puree them in a blender or food processor, carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions for processing hot liquids safely without spattering. Stir the puree back into the pot. Taste and adjust the seasonings with more salt and pepper.

To serve ladle the soup into heated bowls. If you like, garnish with sausage and Parmesan cheese.
