Jackson To Hire Religious Law Advisor

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Council members voted to hire a special advisor to help the township with its legal challenges involving religious rights.

Marci Hamilton, a specialist in such litigation, was appointed during a recent Township Council meeting.

She is the author of “God Vs. The Gavel: Religion And The

Rule Of Law” and co-author of “Fundamentalism, Politics, and the Law.” W hile Cou ncil President Rob Nixon, Council Vice President Barry Calogero, and councilmen A nd rew Ker n and Alexander Sauickie III supported the measure, Councilman Kenneth Bressi did not.

Bressi explained his

“no” vote after the meeting saying, “We are represented by our insurance company’s legal firm but this will be paid for by the township at $800 an hour in an unlimited open-ended arrangement.”

In recent years the township has faced legal challenges with d e ve l o p m e n t a n d code en forcement (Advisor - See Page 4)

New Areas To Be Acquired For Open Space

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – A few more portions of land in Berkeley and Plumsted townships will be added to the county’s open space inventory.

In Berkeley, there were 10 recent purchases of lots in the Good Luck Point section of Bayville. These were all homes destroyed by Superstorm Sandy that no one rebuilt.

At the most recent meeting of the Ocean County Freeholders, two more properties were added to this.

These two properties were acquired for a total of $525,000. The other 10 properties were acquired for $2.4 million.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the State Depart-

ment of Environmental Protection will pay for 92 percent of these purchases, Freeholder Director Virginia Haines said.

The remainder will come from the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust, which is funded by a 1.2cent dedicated tax for the county to acquire land.

Any structures on the property will be demolished, she said. The bulkheading will be kept to maintain the shoreline for nearby homeowners who are still there.

A resident who attended the meeting where these purchases were made, Garry Black, noted that he is a supporter of the county’s efforts to (Space - See Page 4)

Church:

Continued From Page 1 Father John Bambrick, pastor of St. Aloysius Parish, and Father Vincent Euk, pastor of St. Veronica Parish, agreed that the merger would strengthen the Catholic education in the local community, noting that both schools already have a “solid foundation” on which to build.

Plans for the merger and the new name were approved in December 2018 by Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M. The namesake of the future “Mother Seton Academy” is Mother Seton, or St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, “the first native born citizen to be canonized and the founder of the first American religious community, the Sisters of Charity.”

Mother Seton Academy will have a new administration, teaching staff and mission. It’s teaching staff will include teachers from both schools.

According to school officials, the school will

move into what is now the St. Veronica School, as it is slightly larger, has an athletic field, and is easily accessible from major roads like Route 195 and Route 9.

Rumors surrounding the future of the St Aloysius property were set straight recently by Pastor Bambrick. “The Diocese of Trenton Office of Catholic School informed us of a number of rumors coming from the Toms River area and they have asked us to address some of the questions,” Bambrick said.

Bambrick addressed rumors that were set to originate from the internet stating the church property was sold to the Orthodox Jewish community as false. “We did not sell anything to the Orthodox Jewish community. We do, for the record, have an excellent relationship with our Jewish neighbors, they are kind good people who love God.” Bambick also dispelled rumors of any secret negotiations to rent the property to the Orthodox

Jewish community. “We are not presently in negotiations to rent to anyone. We are not presently or actively looking to rent a building we use.”

While the church has received inquiries about the property, Bambrick said none of them came from Orthodox Jewish persons or Orthodox Jewish organizations.

Bambrick said that “we are not presently considering rental. Our focus is on closing out the current school year, hiring staff and a principal for Mother Seton Academy. We are diligently working on preparations for the opening of Mother Seton Academy. This is our primary focus and one that is time consuming. After this process is complete, we will consider other options but again at present our primary focus is the Academy.”

As to renting the property in the future, Bambrick said “we may, who knows what the future holds. However, we use the building extensively for our own purposes so we probably won’t but that is not set in stone. Currently we are focused

singularly on Mother Seton Academy, our future jointly sponsored parish school.”

Bambrick, who spoke out against anti-Semitism at a press conference held last month in the Jackson municipal complex and later during a Jackson Council meeting held that same evening, said “most of the rumors, gossip and innuendo are aimed at fear of the Orthodox Jewish community.

“We must ask, why is there fear of the Jewish people? The Church deplores all hatreds, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism leveled at any time or from any source against the Jews. They are good neighbors and good citizens,” he said.

“This is a free country and each may choose or not choose to believe in a deity, may choose to live wherever they wish. Would you want to be told where you can and cannot live?”

The pastor called on those who are spreading misinformation not “use our parish or school or merger to spread fear and hatred, we don’t teach it here and we don’t tolerate it here either.”

Continued From Page 1 issues involving the placement of a religious device called an eruv, the building of a Jewish school that included a dormitory, and other code enforcement issues.

The municipality’s legal representation engaged in mediation related to the eruv challenge which later resulted in a resolution that allowed for the eruv, to be negotiated between members of the Orthodox Jewish community and utility companies.

The eruv involves an urban area enclosed by a wire boundary which symbolically extends the private domain of Jewish households into public areas, permitting activities within it that are normally forbidden in public on Saturday which is their Sabbath day.

At the time, the settlement specifically stated the concern by council members of “exorbitant amounts of legal fees” as a reason to settle the issue.

The settlement came a few days after the Village of Pomona, New York, lost a federal court battle in December 2017 over zoning that was said to prohibit a Jewish group from building in that area of the state and located a few miles from Mahwah, New Jersey.

Hamilton served as special counsel to Pomona while attorney Roman Storzer represented the plaintiffs in that case. Storzer also represented Agudath Israel of America in the Jackson eruv case.

In July 2017, the Bergen County municipalities of Mahwah, Upper Saddle River and Montvale had a similar court action involving eruv placement. The presiding judge in the lawsuits, John Michael Vazquez, in January 2018 said he felt the municipalities did not have a strong case, and urged them to settle. The three municipalities have settled with the eruv association, allowing the eruv borders to remain.

Nixon said during the public comment period that “it is not appropriate to discuss (the litigation involving the hiring of Hamilton) at a public meeting. Our insurance company

is still working with us on this but we are adding legal counsel. We have a budget for legal fees. While we have no blank check book on these issues, we will do whatever is appropriate.”

During a previous meeting of the council the subject of anti-Semitism dominated the public comment period. Many members of the Orthodox Jewish community from the township, Toms River and Lakewood called for the governing body to support a resolution provided to the council by a Jewish human rights organization that condemned a Facebook page called Rise Up Ocean County.

Rise Up Ocean County was accused of presenting a negative view of the Orthodox Jewish community as related to growing development concerns in areas of Ocean County.

During that meeting Mayor Michael Reina, Nixon and members of the council voiced strong words opposing anti-Semitic hate speech. Nixon said that the resolution did not reach the council in time for proper public notice to allow for its addition to the evening’s agenda.

While the resolution, which was passed by the Board of Ocean County Freeholders did not appear on the Feb. 26 council meeting agenda, tensions between residents following that meeting were observed.

Comments regarding unresolved development issues included in the litigation that the township is facing, were the subject of heated post meeting banter by audience members.

Toms River Township which had also been provided an identical resolution to the one presented to Lakewood and Jackson townships, passed a resolution by advice of their attorney that opposed anti-Semitism in general and did not single out any one Facebook page.

Nixon said previously that a resolution would not serve as the best way to address the issue of anti-Semitism and the accusations that had been made against Rise Up Ocean County.

The 64-acre property, noted as Schen (Old Hopkins Farm) was zoned residential. This will be the property purchased, said Mark Villinger, the supervising planner for the Trust Fund.

The property will be purchased for $652,500.

Haines said that 12 homes could have been built there.

New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation Honors Contributions with 23rd Annual Salute to Patriotism Gala HOLDMEL – On Thursday, April 4, 2019, the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation’s Salute to Patriotism Gala will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Memorial’s groundbreaking, and honor the contributions of UTCA (Utility & Transportation Contractors Association) and LIUNA Heavy and General Laborers Const r uction Local 472 whose contributions made the site possible.

“We are proud to honor UTCA and LI U NA Local 472, t wo g roups that were instrumental in the construction of the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial,” said Executive Director Sarah Taggart. “Since 1988, these groups have generously supported our mission and their com mit ment continues to this day. On the 30th anniversary of the Memorial’s groundbreaking, it is important to remember and thank the contributors who made our one-of-a-

kind site a reality.”

Over the past twenty years since the Memorial was opened to the public, hundreds of thousands of visitors have made the t r ip to the Memor ial and toured the Museum, including school groups who use the facilities and staff expertise to enhance their history and social studies curriculum. Thousands of students, teachers and community groups have also enjoyed rich, interactive experiences with the NJVVMF’s Vietnam Veteran volunteers, and the number of visitors continues to increase each year.

Also increasing -- donations. Since opening to the public, the generation of New Jersey’s Vietnam Veterans has matured. They have donated artifacts, kept as mementos of their tours of duty, and NJVVMF staff anticipates an inf lux of donations over the next ten years, legacies that need to be preserved and

shared.

“The UTCA and General Construction Laborers’ Local 472 have been significant supporters of the Memorial since the beginning of the original construction going back to 1988,” said Trustee and or iginal Memor ial Com mission member Louis Vlahakes. “Our legacy is a world-class facility that memorializes the sacrifice of a generation and clearly communicates the story of one of the most significant periods in American history.”

Thanks to the contributions of individuals and organizations like those being honored at this year’s gala, the NJVVMF is confident that the publicly supported organization will continue to be able to fulfill its mission for generations to come.

Since 1995, the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memor ial has provided a place to remember and honor the 1,563

New Jerseyans who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Vietnam War. Each year the Foundation welcomes thousands of visitors and guests to dozens of ceremonies, educational and outreach programs. The adjacent Vietnam Era Museum is the only museum of its kind in the country.

The Salute to Patriotism Gala will be held Thursday, April 4th, with a reception at 5:30 p.m. followed by dinner and program at 6:30 p.m. at the Eagle Oaks Golf and Country Club, 20 Shore Oaks Drive, Farmingdale, NJ. The Gala will feature an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, silent auction and live music by the Jeff Brown Trio. Tickets are $225 for individuals and $450 for couples. Dress is business attire.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available, including an exclusive Event Sponsorship and opportunities to underwrite a veteran and guest to attend the event. To purchase tickets, call 732-3350033 or visit the Gala registration page.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHI NGTON, D.C. - Below are excerpts of remarks of Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) on the House Floor during the debate of H.R. 8, which would require a background check for every firearm sale: “Madame Speaker, when I voted for the Brady Law in 1993 - which took effect

on February 28th, 1994 - it was to keep firearms out of the hands of dangerous persons including felons and abusers.

“Twenty-five years later and 300 million background checks that have blocked 3 million purchases to dangerous individuals - few if any today seriously suggest

Capitol Comments Assemblyman Ronald Dancer 12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson

TRENTON – The Assembly voted to urge Congress to enact the Military Surviving Spouses Equity Act, reversing a federal law withholding monthly annuity payments from thousands of military wid-

ows and widowers.

“Brave men and women put their lives on the line for ou r nation and ou r freedom,” said Assemblyman Ron Dancer, sponsor of AR85. “They willingly accept the risks with the

Background Checks On All Firearms Sales Would Save Lives

that the Brady law should be repealed.

“I support the Second A mend ment. Universal background checks prescribed in H.R. 8 are an attempt to ensure that firearms are procured, owned and used by responsible, law abiding citizens.

“According to the Brady Campaign, about 1 in 5 guns now sold in America are done so without a background check. That’s a significant loophole.

“According to the (Centers for Disease Control), there was a record 39,773 deaths from firearms in 2017 - higher than in any other year - 23,854 were self-inf licted and 14,542 were homicides.

“To mitigate gun violence in America, H.R. 8 expands Brady background checks to transactions by private sellers not currently covered by the law.

“Multiple school shootings have led to robust, compre-

hensive action at every level to make classrooms safer. I have visited many schools in my district - and I have found that while the threat is being taken seriously, no one policy, program or initiative can ensure the level of protection our students need and deserve.

“Madame Speaker, no constitutional right is absolute including the Second Amendment. The First Amendment’s freedom of speech, for example, has

reasonable limits including the promulgation of slander and libel law.

“To preserve public order, we accept reasonable restrictions on the freedom to assemble. Even freedom of religion isn’t without some modest boundaries.

“In like manner, universal background checks don’t erode Second Amendment rights but do help ensure much needed protection from gun violence for everyone.”

Assembly Asks Congress To ‘Do Right’

By Military Spouses expectation that if tragedy strikes, their families will receive the benefits they earned. We’re calling on Washington to live up to the bargain.”

The equity act was introduced in Washington in 2017. If enacted, it will repeal the “Widow’s tax” requiring the sur viving spouses of members killed

in the line of duty to forfeit the survivor benefit pension annuity.

“Congress must move now to fix this unjustif iable practice that can cost survivors more than $15,000 each year,” said Dancer (R-12th). “This is no way to treat military families. This provision penalizes and robs

military survivors of the benefits they deserve and paid for.”

Dancer noted the VA’s compensation in 2017 was approximately $1,200 per month, which wipes out almost all of the annuity payments for most survivors.

“Our military heroes a r e b ei ng b et r aye d by

misguided federal policy,” said Dancer. “These families have paid for the benefits of the optional survivor’s annuity. They have taken steps to provide f inancial security, but they are pena l i z e d w h e n t h e i r l ove d o n e d ie s i n t he s e r v ic e of our country. This is nonsense.”

Five Ways You Can Damage Your Hearing Without Knowing It

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the most common type of hearing loss, but folks aren’t always sure where their hearing loss comes from. There are some fairly obvious ways to damage your hearing, such as listening to music at excessive volumes, or firing weapons without hearing protection. Then there are situations where protecting your hearing doesn’t seem very important, but doing so might actually prevent further damage.

Consider the following sneaky causes of hearing loss.

Workplace Noise: Although many construction and manufacturing jobs state that hearing protection should be worn at all times on the job, these warnings are not always adhered to.

Those who wear hearing protection may not be wearing it at all times; it may be removed to talk with co-workers or supervisors despite close proximity to high-noise producing machines, and depending upon how loud those machines are, damage can be caused fairly quickly. Even with hearing protection, noise damage can slowly accumulate and wear on the delicate hair cells in the inner ear.

Ototoxic Medication: Ototoxic medications are drugs such as painkillers that have chemical properties that make them toxic to the sensory cells in the ear. Painkillers taken in high quantity create not only a risk for dependency but for losing hearing as well; strong pain medications first cause a ringing in the ears before beginning to have adverse effects on hearing, but the impairment often goes away after discontinued use.

Smoking: Because of the impact and high profile of major diseases caused by smoking, potential hearing damage as a side effect of smoking often flies under the radar. But nicotine is a vasoconstrictor that causes blood vessels to shrink slightly, restricting blood flow to the inner ear and preventing oxygen from reaching it. Over a lifetime, this “suffocates” the ear.

Public Transportation: The squeal and grind of light rails, trains, and even buses coming to a stop have the potential to cause hearing damage to daily riders of public transportation because they’re constantly exposed to noise. Rough or curved tracks prevent smooth rides, leading to more noise. And those who are waiting for their bus or train are exposed to potential traffic on a busy street which can sometimes reach levels of 100 dB or more.

Attending Sporting Events Due in part to the nature of sporting events, watching athletes perform-the danger of noise is often forgotten. Many stadiums still manifest crown noise dangerous enough to damage hearing. Seattle’s CenturyLink Field last year posted a decibel record of 137.6 enough to cause permanent damage in 30 seconds. Noise levels of 115 dBs or more-about the equivalent of a concert, are not uncommon but are safe to experience for only 15 minutes.

If you are concerned about protecting your hearing, Dr. Izzy recommends custom-fitted hearing protection. Dr. Izzy is always available to answer your serious questions about most hearing care issues.

Sarsaparilla: A Herb Good For More Than Root Beer

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Cowboys drank sarsaparilla soda in the Old West! When you first hear “sarsaparilla,” you might think of soda. This herb comes from the roots of a a woody vine called Smilax, which belongs to the Lily family. Its still is used as a popular flavoring of cola and root beer in some countries. If you want to pronounce it out loud, just say “Sass-Parilla” to keep it easy.

Another cola flavoring - aside from sarsaparilla - was the Coca leaf, which gives us cocaine. In 1885, Coca Cola was initially put into marketplaces with trace amounts of cocaine, about 1/400 of a grain of cocaine per ounce of flavoring syrup. Coke wasn’t totally free of cocaine until 1929. That’s how they got the name… it was named it for its two medicinal ingredients, which were coca leaves and kola nuts.

Sarsaparilla has nothing to do with cocaine. It is considered good liver support and helps protect the liver from damage.

Your liver is under tremendous assault and works 24/7. It has to filter out the toxins from our environment, and all the chemicals from the food you eat, as well as your medications and alcohol or nicotine if you consume that.

Liver - The liver is your detoxification organ, and sarsaparilla, can definitely help you. Several animal studies have shown that rats fed a diet containing sarsaparilla herb, have significantly less damage to their liver as compared to control rodents.

Skin - Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, which can be very frustrating

and painful. Irritated skin has a tendency to get infected, because it has lost its normal epidermal barrier, so getting a bad infection in an area of active psoriasis or eczema is unfortunately quite common. Sarsaparilla reduces risk of these infections and improves the inflammation associated with the condition thanks to “astilbin” a biologically active compound in sarsaparilla. People apply topical poultices, creams, salves or take the herb internally.

I write to millions of people a week, so be sure you check with someone in-the-know about your individual case before taking this because I cannot medically advise.

Some of our boomers will remember “sarsaparilla” soda but it’s not available in the US anymore. Even still, the root beer or sodas that ARE still available do not contain actual sarsaparilla, only man-made flavorings that mimic the taste of the natural herb.

The best way to take this herb is by tea, capsule, extract, cream or tincture. Sometimes, lower quality formulas contain a completely different herb called “Indian Sarsaparilla” (from Hemidesmus) which is not related to true sarsaparilla, despite the similar name. So look for “smilax” or “smilacaceae” as the genus name on the “Supplement Facts Box” or product label while shopping.

There are very few reported side effects of sarsaparilla. that doesn’t mean there are none. They’re just not reported. I think the most common reactions might be allergic reactions or perhaps indigestion, itchiness or rash.

Jackson Hosts Kindergarten Registration Week March 18-22

By Kimberly Bosco JACKSON – Jackson School District will hold Kindergarten Roundup Registration on March 18-22, 2019.

School officials are urging parents to complete registration packets prior to Kindergarten Roundup Registration. Forms can be filled out using the district’s online

pre-registration system or by completing a traditional paper packet.

“It is incredibly important that parents register during this period, so we can plan ahead for the next school year,’’ said Jackson School District Coordinator of Communications Allison Erwin. “If you are a parent of a kindergarten student, we ask that

you make every effort to register your child during our kindergarten roundup week.’’

Parents can download registration packets and find more information on the district website at jacksonsd.org under the “For Parents and Students’’ tab and “Registering Your Child” link. Registration packets are also available at any elementary school in

the district.

Be sure to bring your completed packet with you to Kindergarten Registration Week, March 18-22, 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Registration will be split up by last name: • March 18: last names starting with A-C • March 19: last names starting with D–H • March 20: last names starting with I–M • March 21: last names starting with N–R • March 21: last names starting with S–Z Don’t forget to bring your children with you when you register!

County: Census Important To Get Funding

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The 2020 Census is coming, and the county wants to make sure everyone is counted.

The Census serves as a basis for the distribution of more than $675 billion in annual state and federal grants, and the county wants to make sure it gets its fair share.

Ocean County’s portion of this could be used for infrastructure improvements, senior services, public health, education, transportation and Community Development Block Grants. Census counts also help with funding for such programs as the First Time Homebuyer Program, HOME Housing Rehabilitation Program and Tenantbased Rental Assistance.

A Complete Count Committee will be formed this spring, made up of 25-30 people who have close ties to residents, Freeholder Joseph Vicari said.

“A major purpose of the Committee will be to assist the Census Bureau in reaching out to residents that traditionally have had a low response rate in completing a census questionnaire,” Vicari said. “It’s important everyone is counted, every household.

Participation is critical, as the results determine Congressional representation and also how federal and state funding is distributed.”

Ocean County has a lot of unique situations, and these have to be taken into account, he said. For example, there are a large number of people who live here but spend winters in warmer states.

“The guiding principal for the Census is ‘usual residence’ which is defined as the place where the person lives and sleeps most of the time,” Vicari said. “So it is important our snowbirds who live in Ocean County most of the year are counted.

“From forming the Complete Count Committee to planning activities that will help to engage all of our citizens to be counted, we take this preparation very seriously,” Vicari said. “It has a long-term effect on our representation on the federal level and also the funds we receive for key programs that provide benefits to our towns and citizens.”

County Performs “Social Autopsy” To Assess & Combat Addiction

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department recently released the results of the 2018 annual report by the Ocean County Overdose Fatality Review Pilot Program (OC-OFRPP).

The OC-OFRPP is meant to perform a “social autopsy” of the community by examining a person’s collective history in order to better understand their substance abuse disorder and overdose.

It is the goal of the OCHD to “empower county agencies and health providers to develop new programming and change policy that can lead to reduced numbers of addiction and overdose deaths in Ocean County” with this program.

“With the OCHD acting as the lead agency, the Overdose Fatality Review Pilot Program is a collaborative effort that includes cooperation and resources from numerous agencies including the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas of New York/New Jersey, the New Jersey Drug Enforcement Administration and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office. Additionally, we are forever grateful for all the time and effort by all the private partners and entities and their dedicated involvement with the program,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Health Department (OCHD).

The “social autopsy” reviewed 58 cases in 2018 of individuals ages 18 to 67; 66 percent male, 34 percent female.

“We are calling it a social autopsy because we are studying each decedent’s profile to learn how

such things as when drug use began, medical background, family issues, criminal history and environment. There is so much beneficial information that ultimately will drive new program development, changes in policy, and increased access to prevention, treatment and recovery,” said Daniel E. Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator.

The report also found: • 66 percent were reported to have poor health.

• 57 percent were linked to substance abuse treatment • 57 percent had a known criminal history • 22 percent had been convicted of DUI • 55 percent were known IV users • 52 percent diagnosed or linked to mental health The information gathered from the OC-OFRPP will eventually be incorporated into a comprehensive county opioid report that will provide specific details on cases associated with abuse and overdose in Ocean County.

“Information can now be used for providers in our communities to have open and honest conversations about the gaps and barriers within the system, and now how to fix those issues. The ultimate objective is to have another tool in our kit to try and save as many lives as possible from addiction and overdose,” said Kimberly L. Reilly, OCHD Chief of Administrative Services.

You can find more information on the Ocean County Overdose Fatality Review Pilot Program at ochd.org.

TOMS RIVER — Actor Ed Asner discovers his inner self in more ways than one in his show “A Man and His Prostate,” based on a true life experience, and on stage soon at the Jay and Linda Gr unin Center for the Ar ts. A near tragedy is masterfully transformed into a one-man comedy, perfectly portrayed

by Asner in his hilarious visit to the hospital in preparation for surgery he doesn’t want. Don’t miss “A Man and His Prostate” at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 23.

Asner has been an enduring presence in television and film, and on stage, for 60 years. He developed his craft in Chicago and New York, and established himself as a solid and versatile performer, regularly featured in roles on the big screen and in landmark television series such as “The Outer Limits,” “Gunsmoke,” “The Wild Wild West,” “Ironside,” and “Mission Impossible.”

In the 1970s, Asner’s role as Lou Grant in the long-r unning hit sitcom “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” catapulted him to stardom. He then cemented himself as an “actor’s actor,” perpetuating his character in the dramatic series “Lou Grant.” Asner is the only actor to

have won an Emmy for the same role in both a comedy and a drama, with five total as Lou Grant. He went on to win two more Emmys for complex roles in the mega-hit miniseries “Roots” and “Rich Man, Poor Man.” In addition to his celebrated work in television, Asner turned in memorable performances in films such as “JFK,” “Elf,” and “Pacific Edge.” He returned to Broadway in “Grace,” and toured the countr y with his one-man show “FDR,” portraying President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Negotiating Repairs And Credits Using Your Home Inspection Report

• Must have valid drivers license • Must have reliable transportation • Must be available Thursday, Friday, & Saturday • Must be familiar with Jackson area Heavy lifting required

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Serious inquiries only!

By: Marc S. Gallella, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Once a Buyer has the home inspection report certain areas of concern or potential defects may require a more detailed investigation from an expert. Those experts can include a roofing contractor, HVAC contractor, fireplace installer, sprinkler service, electrician and/or plumber. There are times that the Buyer and Seller will not agree that potential defects exist so therefore, the parties may require the help of these experts to further explore the situation.

The Buyer may retain an expert to obtain additional detailed information, in order to confirm to the Seller that a defect exists and must be repaired by the Seller.

Alternatively, the Buyer and Seller may both agree to obtain their own experts to determine the extent of the repair required to remedy the defect and/or the cost of the same.

This cost estimate of remedying the defect is important. Sometimes the Seller does not want the responsibility of hiring contractors and making the defect corrections but instead will offer a repair credit to the Buyer. Many times this is the case when the Seller is an executor, or a Seller is already moved out of state, wherein the Seller does not have the desire or it is impractical for the Seller to engage in repairs.

The Seller may offer a credit to the Buyer at closing. This credit would be to the Buyer in order to make the necessary repairs by the Buyer’s own contractors

post-closing. Howev- Marc S. Gallella Esq. er, it is important to also have any credit reviewed and approved by any lender the Buyer may be using to confirm it is permitted under their loan prog ram.

Many times the Buyer may also see this as advantageous if they are looking to repair the defect and upgrade the area as well. For example, a damaged bathroom floor from a leak from a sink may result in a credit, wherein the Buyer will use that credit and supplement with additional funding to fix the damaged floor and upgrade the tile and sink unit. All of the above are the many options a Buyer and Seller can consider and at times there is a combination of repairs and credits.

We at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

County Begins Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Program In Lakewood

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Lakewood Township is first up in Ocean County’s 30th year of the Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Program.

“This program has had a very successful run for 30 years. With the staff at Solid Waste Management and our contractors we have been able to keep thousands and thousands of pounds of hazardous materials out of our parks, our open spaces and our homes and disposed of safely and properly,” said Freeholder Gary Quinn, who serves as liaison to the county’s recycling program and Department of Solid Waste Management.

In 2018, Ocean County collected 352,522 pounds, of household hazardous waste, at a cost of $164,904.

For 2019, the program will run from March to June at the following locations: • March 31, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Lakewood Public Works Yard • May 4, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Toms River Township Public Works Garage, 1672 Church Road • June 1, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Stafford Township Public Works Garage, 320 Haywood Road These three spring dates will be serviced

by Radiac Environmental Services at a cost of almost 50 cents a pound, stated officials. The county anticipates announcing additional dates in early summer.

“We work to make certain this program is accessible to our residents,” Quinn said.

“It is held in towns, both large and small, and citizens in any Ocean County town

can attend any site. Easy accessibility with our residents attending any location is one of the keys to the success of this program.”

The Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Program is free, but registration is required. To register for the Lakewood collection site, call 732-367-0802. For Toms River collection, call 732-506-5047.

For the Stafford collection site, call 609978-0913.

“Spring is the time of year when people are cleaning out garages, basements and attics and seasonal homes are being reopened and prepared for summer,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines.

“We encourage our residents to use this free program to make certain chemicals, cleaners, solvents and other items we use around the house are disposed of properly.”

Those interested should note what materials are acceptable: paints, thinners, boat paints, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, aerosol cans, auto products, toilet and drain cleaners, silver polishes, oven cleaners, photographic chemicals, rug and upholstery cleaners, polishes and bleaches, waste oil and used gasoline.

The maximum amount residents can drop off at a collection site is 200 pounds of dry material and 20 gallons of liquid. No containers over five gallons will be accepted.

“Our residents should check with us or their local recycling center to determine what is accepted year-round eliminating the need to store potentially hazardous items in their home,” Quinn said.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of MAR 9 - MAR 15

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’d rather fight than switch. You may be sociable and happy-go-lucky today, but tensions could arise as the week goes by that prompt you to defend your territory. Steer clear of arguments and avoid disputes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can choose to be flashy or trashy or just choose to be yourself. You may have unusual tastes, but you may regret unusual purchases in the week ahead.

Remain vigilant about your financial resources.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Focus on your friendships and social activities. You might hear things or meet people that that rub you the wrong way as the week unfolds. Be understanding and sympathetic to turn an irritation into a caress.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Love it or lump it. You won’t win an argument if you pit emotions against the rules. Something might sound unfair, but that’s how it is. Logic and irrational feelings may fight the good fight in the week ahead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be starved for some “me” time. Group activities, organization get-togethers, or community events could dominate your schedule. As this week unfolds you might find it challenging to keep money in the piggy bank.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Enjoy good friends and pleasant conversations whenever you can. In the week ahead, a situation can become abrasive or someone’s actions may irritate you like the sound of fingernails scratching across glass.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Have some fun and enjoy romantic moments while you can. You may have more work than you can handle in the upcoming week. Quick fix solutions are not likely to be satisfying or appropriate at the workplace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Give your loved ones a generous vote of confidence. Aim to please your special someone and find little things to do that prove your commitment. Put moneymaking ideas on the back burner this week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you don’t make waves you are less likely to drown in a sea of confusion. In the week ahead, you might find that a partner or family member is involved in a difficult situation. Don’t add to their problems.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the week to come you may need to rein in your ambitions. People may be difficult to deal with and there could be unnecessary friction, especially where co-workers are concerned. Steer clear of illogical issues.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t stir the pot. Ignore an inner nagging voice that tells you that you are not being appreciated at work or haven’t attained your ambitions. Avoid making major expenditures or investments in the week ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Rise above the mud. Resolve to remain high minded and honest even when tempted to do otherwise. In the upcoming week your intuitions may be out of kilter especially when dealing with a significant other.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen It’s The Perfect Time Of Year To Bake Bread

By Wolfgang Puck

Last month’s record-breaking polar vortex may be over, but it’s very likely that the weather where you live is still keeping you in indoors on the weekends. It’s a perfect time of year for cooking foods that warm you and sustain you. After all, in times past, when people wanted to chase away the cold they gathered around the glowing hearth.

I think the one cooking activity that most captures such old-fashioned pleasures of warming yourself by the fire is baking. Preparing bread itself is very pleasurable, causing you to slow down from the often-hectic pace of the week. Mixing, kneading and shaping dough feels therapeutic, like acts of meditation. Waiting for the dough to rise stretches out the day, while offering a perfect stretch of time to catch up on the newspaper, read a book, listen to music, play a game or have a conversation. The baking itself extends that beneficial down time even more.

Don’t think I’m forgetting the pleasures of the bread. Beautifully browned and fragrant, crusty, chewy, tender and still warm from the oven, a loaf you’ve baked for yourself really can come to feel like the proverbial staff of life. It can also go on sustaining you for several days to come.

That’s why I’m happy to share one of my favorite basic bread recipes. My French olive bread has the ability to transport you, at least in your imagination, to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean, since it’s flavored with black, briny, slightly chewy Nicoise olives. You can easily find them in jars - or in service delis or serve-yourself olive-and-pickle bars - in many wellstocked supermarkets.

You’ll find the recipe surprisingly simple overall. To help you get the best results, though, it’s important to stick carefully to the timing instructions for mixing and baking. I also suggest calibrating your oven by hanging an oven thermometer from the top rack, since the dials on most home ovens don’t accurately match their internal cooking temperatures.

Speaking of equipment, you will also need a stand mixer to mix the dough easily; but I’m always surprised by how many home cooks have this versatile appliance now. And a baking stone, available in most cookware stores, helps ensure a good rise and nice crust like you’d get from a professional baking oven.

If the weather’s still bad, you don’t even need to venture out to buy these things.

You can easily find all this equipment, even the Nicoise olives, online, have them delivered straight to your door.

FRENCH OLIVE BREAD Makes 2 loaves, about 21 ounces each

5 cups (1.125 L) plus 2 teaspoons bread flour, plus extra for kneading 2 cups (500 mL) cold water 1 1/2 packages fresh yeast, crumbled, or active dry yeast 4 ounces (125 g) Nicoise olives, pitted and sliced crosswise into 3 or 4 pieces each 2 teaspoons kosher salt Put the 5 cups (1.125 L) flour and 2 cups (500 mL) cold water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and mix at the lowest speed, or 1, for exactly 4 minutes.

Sprinkle the yeast over the dough, raise the speed to the next level, or 2, and mix for exactly 4 minutes longer. The dough should be elastic enough to pull away cleanly from the bowl.

Toss the olives with the remaining 2 teaspoons flour, add them to the dough along with the salt, and mix them in for 2 minutes longer at the lowest speed. Then, stop the machine, remove the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and set aside to rest for 15 minutes.

Turn out the dough onto a heavily floured surface. With clean hands, lightly knead the dough into a ball. Cover and leave to rest at warm room temperature for 45 minutes.

With clean hands, punch the down to release air trapped inside. With a large, heavy knife or a dough scraper, cut the dough in half.

To shape the loaves, flatten a piece into an 8-inch (20-cm) square, fold it in half, and press down on the seam to seal it. Turn the dough so the seam runs along the top and press down to flatten it. Then, fold one narrow end toward the center and fold the other end to meet it.

Press down slightly and then fold the dough in half to make a compact bundle.

Press down on the seams, and gently roll the bundle back and forth to form a loaf 8 inches (20 cm) long. Repeat with the other piece of dough. Place the loaves on a large rimless baking sheet, sprinkle with flour, cover with the towel, and leave to rest at warm room temperature for 45 minutes.

Place a baking stone on the center rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). With a very sharp knife, make a slash down the center of each loaf. Carefully slide the loaves onto the stone, and bake for 10 minutes. With a spray bottle filled with fresh water, lightly spray the loaves. Close the oven and continue baking until the loaves are well browned, about 1 hour and 10 minutes longer. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before slicing and serving.
