Scooter Competition Rolls Back Into Town

Community News!

Don’t miss what’s happening in your town.

Pages 8-12.

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – There’s a good reason that the Jonmarco Gaydos Scooter Competition was postponed for two weeks. The person it was named after won a world championship.

With that win came a lot of special appearances, and so the Berkeley competition got pushed back to

Sept. 28, with a rain date of Sept. 29. It will be held at Veterans Park in Berkeley Township.

The event is free for spectators. There are three different prices for competitors to register. Online registration is $15. Registration on the day of the event is $20. Registration that includes a t-shirt is $30.

Environmentalists Blast Governor’s Energy Plan

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Environmental advocates were vocal with their displeasure of Gov. Phil Murphy’s master plan for New Jersey’s energy future, during a rally held on the grounds of the Toms River’s municipal building.

Advocates and several lawmakers have said in recent weeks that the plan doesn’t go far enough to sever the state from projects promoting fossil fuels that have been linked to global warming.

The Toms River gathering took place prior to one of a series of hearings convened around the state by the state Board of Public Utilities on a working draft of the Energy Master Plan. The governor has touted the EMP as progressive, because it sets the state on the path toward 100 percent “clean” (Energy - See Page 7)

Continued From Page 1 The event proved an opportunity to thank the Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Foundation for its generosity. Education-Consultant and former OCVTS Asst. Superintendent Nancy Weber-Loeffert said the Foundation donated more than $1 million for the stateof-the-art facility at the center located on Old Freehold Road.

Cassandra Grom, a senior at OCVTS in the second-year clinical program was among the nurses present for the event and who will benefit from the enhancements.

“For a while I had been lost as to what I wanted to do. I had moved from North Jersey to Manchester and became interested in medicine and this program. I think what they have done is great,” she said.

Haley Ingenico, Brick, is also a senior in her second year in the program. “I knew this

is what I wanted to do but it is hard to go into the medical field and to go to college; you start off straight into debt. Now everyone can see this new medical building and they can see another option.

“It looks a lot better but it’s not just a physical change. It provides a positive environment and brings out a positive feeling. It is a phenomenal nursing lab. They’ve been working and expanding this for a while and we’ve been watching it,” Ingenico said.

OCVTS Toms River Center Principal Lillian Zabattieri introduced Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari who serves as liaison to OCVTS. “Today is a great day for us in Ocean County. We offer opportunity here. One of the things we always stress in this county is that if you apply yourself and work hard you will succeed.”

Vicari thank thanked the Hovnanians for their donation adding that they had a desire to elevate the look of the facility and have people see it and be aware of what OCVTS offered to students.

The freeholder also noted that the Grunin Foundation had also approached OCVTS regarding expanding its programs to include the arts. Jeremy Grunin was among the guests at the ribbon cutting ceremony.

“We want our students to attain the American dream. We are making a difference and we are doing good things for the future of Ocean County,” Vicari added.

Ben Giovine, the district director for the office of Rep. Andy Kim, (D-3rd District) presented a plaque during the ceremony thanking those responsible for the new addition.

OCVTS Acting Superintendent Karen Homiek also thanked the Hovnanians.

“Thanks to your philanthropic generosity, you made this dream a reality. What was dull and uninviting is now new and exciting.”

Homiek described the new nursing lab saying it provides “a real life setting for the clinical experience.”

Hirair and Anna Hovnanian’s daughter Edele Hovnanian said “we give a lot of grants away but this one was very important. I think this vocation has not gotten the recognition it needs. This is a calling not a compromise.”

Also in attendance were Freeholder Director Virginia Haines, Freeholder Gary Quinn, Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy and various staff members of OCVTS. The OCVTS culinary academy provided lunch for the event and the OCVTS Performing Arts Academy Vocal Ensemble sang the national anthem directed by Mary Kenny, who serves as the PAA’s vocal instructor.

Following the ribbon cutting, the event concluded with “God Bless America” performed by the OCVTS PAA. Tours of the new nursing lab took place afterward.

Continued From Page 1 due to the events that transpired in 2016.

The event, held in Seaside Park that year, was abruptly cancelled after a pipe bomb detonated inside a borough garbage can.

The pipe bomb had been planted there by a terrorist who is now serving a life sentence.

Seaside Park Mayor Robert J. Matthies ref lected on that act of terrorism in his community saying, “it is another terrible anniversary to remember but we were fortunate in the way the bomb went off that it was away from people. It could have been much worse,” Matthies said.

Ahmad Khan Rahimi, a resident of New Jersey, set off the pipe bomb during the charity run and later injured 30 people with a bomb in Man hat tan. Rahimi was sentenced to multiple life terms in a federal prison. A grand jury found him guilty of eight counts related to the terrorist act.

Semper Five returned in September 2017 and moved to Seaside Heights with added security by various county, state and municipal law enforcement agencies.

Race Director Dr. Frank Costello said 95 percent of the proceeds from the day’s event would be donated to the U.S. Marine Raider Foundation which is a national charity “benefitting Marines and Sailors who have been injured, wounded, or who have lost their lives in service to our nation, as well as their families.” He thanked News 12 New Jersey for being

The Berkeley Times, September 21, 2019, Page 5 a sponsor to the event and promoting it.

Costello said the Foundation’s goal is to meet the unmet needs by the government and other agencies, with a focus on resiliency through its main programs which include funding to implement an executive-level transition program for Raiders stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Borough Mayor Anthony Vaz said, “this is the third year we’ve had it on our boardwalk. It is a great cause and a great amount of effort goes into it to make it a great race day.”

Vaz noted that the event provided for another great family crowd on the boardwalk. “Frank Costello and his committee do a great job running this.”

A dozen Brick Township students involved in the ROTC-Air Force program at the township’s two high schools came out to provide some volunteer support at the event.

“We’ll be giving out water and helping out today. We’re doing this to support the event, “Brick Memorial junior Candace Elk said.

“This our first time but the ROTC has been part of it for the past few years,” Brick Memorial High School senior Dominick Vitone said.

Red, white and blue were colors seen in abundance at the event which featured a strong theme of patriotism and support for the armed forces.

More than 20 runners made up Team RWB (Red, White and Blue) who represented the organization once again.

Team leader Jules Daigle said, “our organization enriches and supports those in military service. We’re involved with mental, social and physical activities and this is certainly a physical activity. We were here in 2016 when it was cancelled so in 2017, I put a call out to everyone that we wanted everyone to walk, run or crawl because it was important that we return to participate. We have 23 people here today.”

Dan Han nigan and his t wo young d aug hters of Haddon Heig hts were draped in stars and stripes as they prepared to cheer on his wife Jackie who was running in the event for the second year in a row.

“We vacation in Lavallette and my wife loves this race and we love coming together for this nice event,” Hannigan said.

Ortley Beach resident David Alito teaches junior ROTC-Marines at the Abraham Clark High School in Roselle.

“I usually f ly the American and U.S. Marine f lag in front of my home but it’s not there today.”

The reason for that was that Alito brought his large and rather tall f lag pole and f lags to the boardwalk they f lew in the ocean breeze in support of the runners.

While a bit heavy, Alito didn’t mind at all. He held it high for nearly an hour. “If they can run it, I can hold it,” Alito said.

“This is the first time I’ve brought it up here and its really a great day.”

Young and old took part in the Five Kilometer Run including young children, elderly veterans, a blind Marine veteran and a one-legged man who took to the course on crutches.

Scooter:

Amateur (advanced skill level for any age).

The top three finishers in all three divisions will be awarded prizes.

It’s named after Jonmarco Gaydos of Brick, who is the 2019 World Scooter Championship winner. He is donating some of the prizes, said Councilman Angelo Guadagno, who is coordinating it. Last year, it was called the Action Sports Competition, where athletes of all ages and skill levels showed their stuff on scooters and BMX bikes.

The schedule will be emailed. For more information, visit BTREC.org.

Continued From Page 1 There will be registration and practice from 8-10 a.m. on the day of the event, and the competition begins at 10 a.m.

Helmets and safety gear must be worn at all times.

Each competitor will get two, one-minute runs on the full skate park course. Winners will be determined by an accumulation of points.

There are three divisions. Pee Wee (9 and younger), Beginner (10 and older) and

Letters To The Editor A Compliment For The Amato Team I k now most p e ople don’t have n ice t h i ngs to say about their local politicians and gover nment leaders. As a Berkeley Township resident, I have nothing but fantastic things to say about the government leadership we have in our town.

For the third time in five years, Berkeley Township has announced it will not be raising the municipal tax rate. It seems as though a majority of the surrounding towns are not in the same gleeful boat we are.

Mayor Carmen Amato, his administrative team, and Berkeley Township Cou ncil members have done a fantastic job in providing efficient services to the community at an affordable price point. Our law enforcement officials and first responders are always on call. The Public Works Department does a great job. The town’s recreational services are reliable for residents of all ages.

I support the re-election of Berkeley Township Mayor Ca r me n A m at o and the councilmen on his team John Bacchione, Tom Grosse and Keith Buscio.

Keep up the good work!

Support New Candidates For Freeholder As a former public officeholder, I often fi nd myself engaged in conversation with friends, colleagues and even casual acquaintances about the state of local, state and national politics.

We wring our hands over rising taxes and the cost of living, bemoan the dearth of bold ideas to fix our economy and fret over the lack of opportunities for our children. We complain

Letters To The Editor about the lack of civil discourse at the state and national level, and invariably I am asked “What can I do?”

“Get involved, run for office,” I’ll reply, urging them to put their hat in the ring. Running for office is hard, however, and it’s costly. Public service takes passion, commitment and bold ideas. We are fortunate to have two excellent candidates for the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders who fit this bill, Michael Penna and Moira Nelson.

I am so pleased that my friend and colleague, Michael Penna, has taken on this challenge to serve our community and is r unning for Monmouth County Freeholder. Michael Penna is an educator for at-risk students who has dedicated his life to preparing all students for the challenges of the 21st Century. He has bold ideas to invest in and strengthen the community college system in our county to better serve all students. When I fi rst met Michael, I was impressed by his vast and deep understanding of social issues that impact our community, his ability to communicate his ideas and his power to build consensus to effectuate change. Over the years, my admiration for him and his innate decency has only deepened. He rose to the challenge to get involved, run for office and be the change we want to see.

He will work tirelessly as a Freeholder for all our children to insure they have access to quality education and opportunity.

Moira Nelson, a dr ug policy reform advocate, has been battling at the frontlines of the opioid crisis to help curb this devastating public health emergency.

She answered the call to service when she saw that patients seeking treatment lacked access to the resources they desperately need. As a Freeholder she will continue to advocate

tirelessly for the healthcare needs of all our communities.

Penna and Nelson are not “politicians.” They are “public servants” in the true sense of the word. A teacher and a healthcare advocate who serve their communities and seek to spread their positive impact by serving on the Board of Chosen Freeholders. I don’t think we could choose a better team. Please join me in supporting Michael Penna and Moira Nelson for Freeholder this November.

There Is No Separation Of Church And State This letter is in response to the one written by Marianne Clemente, in regards to t he Ba r negat mayor (“Barnegat’s Democracy In Jeopardy,” August 24).

Technically, there is no separation of church and state. You will not fi nd it in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. The only reference ever made to that was in a letter from Thomas Jefferson to a southern Baptist Church, assuring them that the government would not interfere in their worship.

As such, according to our right to free speech, which you will find in the Bill of Rights, Mayor Cirulli had every right to speak of Jesus, just as you had the right to leave since you found it offensive. As for him refusing to marry the gay couple, the rights of gay people should never trump the rights of Christians to live according to their beliefs. If they knew the mayor was a believer, t hey should have gone elsewhere. Just as they have the right to marry, the mayor has the right to act according to his beliefs.

While Mayor Cirulli may have used poor judgment in speaking of Jesus at a public meeting, it was his right to do so. If we removed people from office only because of poor judgment, there wouldn’t be ver y many lef t! We need to accept everyone’s rights, and respect their dif ferences. O n ly then we will be able to move forward.

The Berkeley Times, September 21, 2019, Page 7

Continued From Page 1 energy by 2050.

About 25 members of the Empower NJ movement, which consists of more than 10 environmental, citizen, and community groups made their message loud and clear during a press conference held outside Township Hall prior to the hearing.

Brick resident Janet Tauro holds positions of leadership in several environmental groups such as Clean Water Action and Radiation Public Health Project. She led off the press conference which included the backdrop of fellow activists waving signs, carrying banners and wearing themed T-shirts.

She said the coalition is focusing on a local approach to the global climate crisis stating that it has already impacted New Jersey.

The groups present at the session included: People Over Pipelines, New Jersey Sierra Club, Food & Water Watch, Surfrider Foundation, Clean Ocean Action, Save Barnegat Bay, Delaware Riverkeeper Network, Clean Water Action, and others.

“Right here in Ocean County and, in this spot…we’ve lived through the devastating impacts of climate change. SuperStorm Sandy destroyed lives, property, and put the Oyster Creek nuclear plant at risk. We have sea level rise and regular flooding.

Walk through some of the towns on the Barrier Island at high tide, and there are flooded streets even when it’s not raining,” Tauro said.

“Let’s not make it worse. Let’s get off fossil fuels and nuclear now. Every fossil fuel project and every moment that the Salem and Hope Creek nukes operate, is time lost to fighting climate change by not supercharging an agenda that puts renewable energy and efficiency at the forefront,” she said.

She added, “BPU, now is your moment.

This is your chance to take meaningful action to save the planet.”

Tauro and others who spoke acknowledged that the governor’s draft Energy Master

Plan has good intent, “however, it does not address the situation that we are in as a climate emergency,” Tauro added.

Greenhouse gas emissions globally set an all-time high last year. Tauro said greenhouse gases must “be regulated to achieve the United Nations’ 2030 target and the Global Warming Response Act’s 2050 mandate. The Energy Master Plan tepidly proposes to wait until 2020 to begin discussion if we are to regulate greenhouse gases.

“We know climate change is real. We need action now. We need a plan that is forward looking. We need Gov. Murphy to be the green governor he should be,” Peter Blair, policy attorney for Clean Water Action said.

Those present expressed a need to voice strong support for a moratorium on new fossil fuel projects. They also advocated for people in the Ocean County area concerned about climate change, fossil fuel power plants and pipelines, to speak up.

David Pringle, a member of the steering committee for Save Barnegat Bay, spoke for his group expressing concern for the future health of the Barnegat Bay. “The water quality of the Barnegat Bay is directly linked to this Energy Master Plan. We need the governor to do more.”

“Before we can reduce the damage, we have to stop making it continue,” Pringle said, calling for the governor to hold up the building of pipeline projects currently in litigation.

Union activist Carol Gay, Brick, said “there are 15 fossil fuel projects in New Jersey. We are asking for a moratorium on them. It has to be done now.”

Around 100 people attended the public hearing held inside the municipal building.

The protestors continued to speak against the plan at the hearing, but some others were in favor of it.

“We support this master plan,” Kevin Westhoven of New Jersey Resources said.

Associated Humane Societies Offers Fire Safety Tips For Pets

OCEAN COUNTY - It is estimated that about 500,000 pets are affected by house fires each year. Statistics show that about 20 percent of all house fires start between 4 and 8 a.m., when residents are sleeping.

“To lose a family pet under any circumstances is devastating. To lose a pet in a fire is beyond words,” said Roseann Trezza, executive director, Associated Humane Societies/Popcorn Park. “Firefighters will attempt to save family pets, but they need to have an idea of where they are in the house and if there are pets at all.”

Associated Humane Societies offers pet owners special decals that, when prominently placed in front and back doors or windows, will alert fire or rescue personnel of the type and number of animals inside the home or apartment in case of emergency.

A decal is especially important where there are several dwellings, like condominiums, apartments or townhouses so firefighters know which living quarters contain pets. The four inch square decals are designed in standard fire department colors of red and yellow, with black type. These will affix to almost any surface, and have space available to write information in permanent marker or ballpoint pen. Cost is $2 for two decals and can be purchased by mailing cash or check with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Pet Decals, c/o Society, 124 Evergreen Ave., Newark, NJ 07114.

And to help pet owners safeguard their pets and homes from fire and the damage it can cause, Associated Humane Societies offers the following tips: Be sure house numbers are clearly visible. In apartments, many animals have perished be-

cause firefighters did not know which houses or apartments had pets.

Install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. It’s the single most important way to alert you and your loved ones of a hazardous condition. Place them on each level of your house. If you cannot afford one, contact your local fire department who will sometimes donate the devices.

Keep burning candles out of the reach of pets and children and never leave burning candles unattended. A knocked over candle can ignite an entire house in a matter of moments. Consider opting for the many beautiful flameless candles now available.

Check for loose wires and watch out for wire-chewers. Some curious cats, dogs and even rabbits will chew on electrical wires.

Protect the wires or make them inaccessible.

Make other electric appliances are turned off and unplugged before leaving the house.

Keep the clothes dryer lint-free and take extra precautions when drying foam-backed rugs, athletic shoes and other non-cloth items.

If you leave the house without your pets, keep them in areas or rooms that are near entrances where firefighters will find them.

Keep collars and leashes where you can easily grab them if you need to evacuate your home.

Make sure your dog or cat is wearing proper identification or is microchipped. In case he or she runs out the door, your chances are much better of having your pet safely returned to you. Microchipping is safe, painless and a great way to identify missing pets. However, the information on the chip is only obtainable and useful if you remember to register with the microchip agency.

CORRECTING MYOPIA WITH LENS IMPLANTS

“Phakic” intraocular lenses may be surgically implanted in the eyes of nearsighted individuals to reduce their need for corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses. The term “phakic” refers to the fact that the intraocular lens is implanted without removing the eye’s natural lens. During the implantation procedure, the ophthalmologist makes a small incision in the front of the eye, through which the phakic lens is inserted and placed just in front of (or just behind) the iris. Phakic lens implantation is a good option for nearsighted individuals who are not good candidates for LASIK surgery, including those with high degrees of nearsightedness, unusually thin or irregularly shaped corneas, or with eye conditions such as keratoconus or dry eye syndrome.

Unlike contact lenses, you can’t feel a phakic intraocular lens in your eye and, apart from regular eye exams, phakic intraocular lenses typically do not require any maintenance.

Not all patients are candidates for phakic intraocular lens implantation, just like not all patients are candidates for LASIK. One of the reasons so many people trust SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES with their eye care needs is that we make a concerted effort to provide our patients with convenient options. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call 732-349-5622.

County Supports Autism CARES Act

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders have thrown their support behind a bill that would provide $1.8 billion for autism According to Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th), who authored the bill, it would authorize more than $1.8 billion over five years for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).

Smith’s bill also helps adults with autism who he said are “are often misdiagnosed, underdiagnosed and overlooked. Language throughout the bill emphasizes that causes, diagnosis, detection, prevention and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) must be throughout the lifespan of a person. According to Drexel University’s AJ Drexel Autism Center, about fifty to sixty thousand children “age out” to adulthood

each year creating challenges for education, housing, employment and access to health care,” he said.

The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders recently passed a resolution supporting Smith’s efforts and urging the full passage of the act by the United States Senate. The House of Representatives passed the bill July 24.

“As a lifelong educator, I have seen the difference early intervention can make,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari. “This legislation which would reauthorize federal programs that assist children, adults and families with autism is a key component in providing needed help and also opportunity to people with autism.”

Vicari said more programs are needed for adults with autism spectrum disorder and this bill will help provide the funding for long lasting remedies.

Tips And Resources When Negative Feelings Become Severe NEW JERSEY – According to the American Psychological Association approximately one quarter of Americans report extreme stress at holiday time.

Here are some simple steps that people can take to help remain calm, re-focus and enjoy the essence of this time of year: Prioritize schedules to include some of the activities that persons enjoy the most whether that be baking cookies or reading a meditation book.

Incorporate others into activities; this could include asking everyone to bring a dish instead of taking on the burden of cooking a whole dinner, or asking a friend to join in shopping.

Take some time each day to be mindful of surroundings, such as a walk in the brisk air or enjoying nature.

Persons should allow themselves to remain present in the moment and enjoy the here and now. Try not to think ahead or about any “to do lists.”

Take a break by making time for enjoyable activities unrelated to the holidays.

People who feel overwhelmed should not hesitate to seek professional help.

When does holiday hustle and bustle amount to too much stress? What can be done about it?

Mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, are real, common and treatable. Recovery is possible. Not everyone thinks about their emotional well-being enough, especially during the busy holiday season.

The Mental Health Association in New Jersey’s Call Center answers over 32,000 calls annually, integrating professional and peer services to offer counseling, information and referral and emotional support. The MHANJ’s Call Center is nationally accredited by Contact USA, one of the only programs in the country devoted to maintaining standards of service at crisis lines, warmlines and reassurance calling programs.

“We welcome anyone who has questions about the signs and symptoms of mental health issue to call. We hope that these resources will be helpful to those who are interested in maintaining their emotional well-being,” stated Carolyn Beauchamp, President and CEO of the Mental Health Association in New Jersey.”

MHANJ encourages New Jerseyans to utilize the following call lines if they have any questions or need help in a particular specialty area: NJ Connect for Recovery, 855-652-3737 (TTY 877-294-4356), 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays, 5 to 10 p.m. weekends. This line is dedicated to providing counseling specifically to individuals and families coping with addiction to heroin and prescription painkillers, collaborating with the State of New Jersey’s Interim Managing Entity to help assure that people attain treatment and support.

Bubonic Plague Is On The Rise

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Let’s talk about bubonic plague from a medical standpoint, not a political one. It’s making a new deadly appearance, after being extinct for a long time in the United States. Controlling its spread is imperative to our safety and survival. It’s making a resurgence, especially in California and what’s scary is that it spreads quickly.

Just FYI, the plague was the second biggest killer on our planet, second only to smallpox. Symptoms vary from person to person however, the first sign is a fever with nausea and vomiting. Then there will be swollen, painful lymph nodes that occur in the armpits, groin or neck. Skin sores are hallmark, and they turn black that’s why Bubonic Plague is also known as “Black Death.” Shortness of breath, coughing and wheezing are possible too.

People died from this so quickly that large groups of folks were commonly buried in mass graves. Bubonic plague is on the rise here because of the perfect storm of problems. It’s caused by a bacteria called Yersinia pestis. There is debate about whether it is spread through the air, or by fleas, or both, but either way it is a deadly disease.

Right now, the most predominant location for Bubonic Plague is in California, but it’s also popping up in Arizona and New Mexico. In Colorado where I live, there was a wildlife shutdown in Denver last week.

But California, especially San Francisco and Los Angeles, is where the humanitarian crisis is occurring and we have to do something fast. There is a lot more homelessness in these cities. This naturally leads to fecal matter being scattered on the streets. In

combination with rotting food, needles and other trash, rats have made it their home because they thrive in the infestation.

The rats carry the fleas with the plague, which then potentially infect people and pets. Squirrels, rabbits, mice, coyotes and other animals can be carriers, it’s not just rats.

So minimizing the trash and the rats would help in reducing the rate of infection. But strangely, California is proposing to ban anticoagulant rat poison, which translates to more rats and more cases of the plague.

Sacramento was recently forced to close an outdoor playground because of the rats as they were naturally worried about children getting ill.

Once inside the body, the germ ‘explodes’ and essentially injects poison into special immune cells that are defensive in nature (macrophages), Once knocked out, your macrophages can no longer detect the germ. The bacteria then grows wildly and quickly, and kills the host, unless detected and treated very quickly.

Reduce risk by treating your pets for fleas, and not letting them mix with rodents or wildlife. Control rodents with rodenticides or traps. Wear insect repellent that works, and keep your pets away from feces and remains of dead animals. Keep pets out of the bed. Avoid travel to areas that are infested.

As for natural remedies, there is so much silliness on the Internet. Trust me, rubbing your body with a chicken will NOT cure you of the plague! Neither will leeches.

Doxycycline, and gentamicin may be useful. Streptomycin is an older drug which is considered to be one of our gold standards.

JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST - The U.S. Army Reserve’s 99th Readiness Division welcomed a new top non-commissioned officer Sept. 7 during a traditional change-of-responsibility ceremony here.

Command Sgt. Maj. John K. Zimmerman, a New York native whose most recent Army assignment was in California, became the 99th Readiness Division’s top NCO Sept. 7 during a change-of-responsibility ceremony at division headquarters here.

“I’ve lived on the east coast my whole life; the northeast was the birthplace of our Army,” said Zimmerman, who was a first responder at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. “It’s awesome to be back on the east coast and in the northeast.”

The ceremony was officiated by Maj. Gen. Mark Palzer, 99th DIV(R) commanding general, who explained that Zimmerman would have an expanded role throughout the northeast as part of the 99th’s recent designation as a U.S. Army Reserve senior geographic command.

“You’ll be working with the CSMs of all the functional commands in the region,” Palzer said to Zimmerman during the cer-

emony. “There is so much that sergeants major can do that we haven’t been able to take advantage of until the new structure and authorities came into place in the past couple of months.”

“I’m very familiar with the constraints that functional-command command sergeants major have,” added Zimmerman, who has served in the Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve for over 35 years. “I’ve learned a lot from my experiences and look forward to being in a position to assist in the readiness of their formations.”

Zimmerman, who has over 24 years of New York State Police criminal investigative experience, succeeded Command Sgt. Maj. Andrew J. Lombardo, a deputy inspector with the New York City Police Department, as the 99th DIV(R)’s top NCO. “We have 43,000 Soldiers across our supported commands within the 99th DIV(R)’s northeast region,” said Lombardo, who has served in the Army for over 33 years.

“These Soldiers represent the future of the Army Reserve.

“The readiness of the Army begins and ends with the NCO Corps, who enable this Army to be THE Army,” he added.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Helpful Tips To Ensure Your Mortgage Application Is Approved

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Dina M. Vicari, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

A necessary but intensive task during your journey to purchase your new home will be providing your mortgage representative with all of the financial records and additional information they may require during the home buying process.

Equally, during a re-finance of your existing home many of the same financial records will be required. In either case, the process is started with an application and then moves through the underwriting process until the loan is clear to close.

This time period may span from 30 days to several months, depending on the complexity of the loan program. There are several tips to remember which will help achieve a smooth closing.

First, as an applicant, you never want to open new credit cards, switch credit card balances to new credit cards or make large purchases on existing credit cards.

Even the smallest of purchases on a new card may lead to a much larger available line of credit. This is important to remember when you are paying for movers or looking to purchase new appliances and/or furniture for your new home. All of these actions can disrupt your income to debt ratio which can be a major obstacle in getting to that clear to close position. Make sure prior to utilizing any credit that it is discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to avoid delays in obtaining clearance to close your loan.

Second, in a situation where you are either re-financing your existing home or purchasing a home that requires repairs prior to closing, make sure all home improvements/repairs are completed prior to the home appraisal. Nearly all loans require an appraisal. Therefore, in order to avoid any delays with your closing,

make sure you properly plan the timing of your appraisal. Timing Dina M. Vicari Esq. of the appraisal should be discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to ensure that there are no on-going improvements within the property that would require a re-appraisal, which will delay the process and cost an additional fee.

Third, it is important to make sure you are prepared for closing and have enough money saved-up to bring to the closing table. At the time of closing there are lender costs and third party costs, such as payments to insurance companies, surveyors, title companies, home owner associations, tax office, municipal utilities and many more, which must be paid at closing. It is important to communicate with your Attorney and mortgage lender to review all of the closing costs that you will be responsible for at the time of closing.

The above items may be overwhelming but 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.

Two districts from Monmouth County and two from Ocean County will be among the 28 districts receiving funding. In Monmouth County, Farmingdale will receive $157,764 and Ocean Twp. will receive $586,772. In Ocean County, Ocean Twp. will receive $971,584 and Tuckerton will receive $679,140.

The announcement continues the campaign to deliver quality early childhood education programming to more and more schools in the state. Last school year, Governor Murphy announced funding to bring high-quality preschool programs to 64 additional school districts. This year, Governor Murphy’s Fiscal Year 2020 state budget committed an additional $20 million for Preschool Education Aid. “New Jersey has long been considered a leader in early childhood education, and I am proud that we are now bringing about the greatest growth in preschool that this

state has seen so far this century,” said Governor Murphy, who made today’s announcement in Union City, a community that has a deep history of providing quality preschool programs to 3 and 4-year-old children. “Educating our children at this critical age will give them a strong start in academics and a desire to learn.”

“High-quality preschool is one of the best investments we can make to prepare young minds for academic success,” said Cary Booker, Assistant Commissioner of Early Childhood Education at DOE. “Research tells us that quality preschool programming can be a powerful indicator of success throughout out a child’s schooling, and it continues to have a positive ripple later in life.”

High-quality preschool programs are identified as transitioning to a full-day program, with a certificated teacher, an aide, small class sizes, and inclusive of children with special needs who have an individualized education program.

The 28 school districts implementing or expanding to high-quality preschool programs this school year have at least 20 percent of their student population receiving free or reduced lunch or had been receiving partial state funding to address pockets of poverty.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 21 - sept 27

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Look before you leap. While your first instincts tend to be the right ones, you may do better putting in extra thought before you act today.

Try to anticipate the consequences of every option before taking a course of action.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Allow time for rest. You may find you are sharper, more efficient and have much better concentration if you give yourself a restful break. Someone may be there to help pick up any slack.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make sure that your cause is worth fighting for. Don’t let others dictate your response to stressful situations or goad you into conflict, especially if you know you’re right. Stay centered and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As tempting as it can be to get in the last word, recognize a volatile situation for what it is - something you can simply resolve by walking away. Tackle your to-do list one task at a time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s far easier to float than to tread water. You may want to rethink your approach to a problem in order to streamline and make your life easier. Try to be a little softer today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make sure everyone gets their fair share of the pie. Do your best to ensure that any arrangement is equally beneficial to all concerned. It’s easy to be more receptive to those who make suggestions than to those who demand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Slow and steady wins the race. You may find more success in careful planning and execution than in trying to keep up with your peers. Listen to your inner voice, as it may be your best ally.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Group projects can be creative and exciting. You may want to stake a claim on a piece that is obviously your area of expertise. It’s fine to be sensitive to others’ feelings, but maintain the integrity of your work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Stay comfortably in your own arena.

While you may feel up to the task, don’t try to exert your will upon others with authority you don’t have. Stay focused on your own responsibilities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It may serve you well to pay careful attention to the details of an opportunity or offer, and be sure to read the fine print. Don’t stray too far from the beaten path today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be a guardian angel. Keep a close eye on friends or loved ones who may need your guidance, advice or support this week. Your easygoing manner and quick wit bring out the best in people.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Stand your ground but don’t make an issue of it. You can stick up for your convictions without becoming angry or combative. You’ll be most at home with activities that allow you to enjoy nature.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Granny Smith Apples Are The Star Of This Easy, Old-Fashioned Dessert

By Wolfgang Puck

Everybody seems to take apples for granted. They’re always there in supermarkets and farmers market stalls, parents are packing them in kids’ lunches, and some fast-food places now offer sliced apples as a healthy alternative to french fries (not that many guests necessarily go for that option). The fruit is also featured in some of the most often-repeated, time-honored sayings: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

“American as apple pie.”

“An apple for the teacher.”

“You’re the apple of my eye.”

And yet, the ubiquity of apples sometimes leads to them being taken for granted. A great apple pie or apple tart is a wonderful thing - but they aren’t always the first desserts to fly off the menu.

So, with the peak of autumn apple-picking season coming soon, when the most abundant crops and widest varieties are available, I thought I’d invite you to join me in a little experiment. Its goal is to help anyone who tries it achieve a new, richer appreciation of the apple’s goodness.

It’s about the mixture of sweet, tart and spicy flavors that marry so well with other ingredients both sweet and savory; the way the texture of certain apple varieties, when cooked, turn wonderfully tender while still retaining a hint of crispness; and simply the pristine beauty of the apple’s spherical form.

What kind of miraculous experiment could accomplish all those things? It’s a recipe, of course, and one that may at first seem quite ordinary. For baked apples.

Cored whole apples, baked with sugar and spices in a sweetened liquid, seem to many people like the most basic of culinary preparations. It’s something parents cook for little children. Nursery food.

That’s why the following recipe for baked Granny Smith apples with toasted streusel may come as such a surprise. With very little preparation work, and a few simple ingredients, it transforms one of the most widely available apple varieties into a dessert that distills the very essence of apple goodness. One taste, and you might not be able to stop eating it.

Little more is needed to highlight those qualities. But the easy-to-make streusel sprinkled over each serving adds a delightful, complementary bit of crunch and sweet spice. (The name comes from the German “streuen,” meaning “sprinkle,” and the mixture is also good sprinkled over other desserts like cobblers, coffee cakes or even ice cream.) You could also, if you like, drizzle a little homemade custard sauce, or even a touch of heavy cream, in the bottom of each bowl before adding the apple - or serve a small scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside the dessert.

Once you give this simple recipe a try, it may well become a standby for you throughout apple season.

BAKED GRANNY SMITH APPLES WITH TOASTED STREUSEL Serves 8 8 medium Granny Smith apples, about 3 pounds (1.5 kg), or Jonagold or Winesap varieties 8 small cinnamon sticks 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) packed golden brown sugar 1 cup (250 mL) Calvados or applejack brandy 1 cup (250 mL) water 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped lemon zest 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped out, seeds and pod reserved

1/2 cup (125 mL) streusel (recipe follows) 8 small sprigs fresh mint Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven.

Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C).

With an apple corer, remove the core of each apple, from the top through to the bottom.

Arrange the apples upright in a heavy-duty 10- or 12-inch (25- or 30-cm) nonreactive pot with 4-inch (10-cm) sides. Place 1 cinnamon stick inside the hollowed-out center of each apple.

In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, Calvados or applejack, water, lemon zest, nutmeg and vanilla seeds and pod. Pour the mixture all around the apples. With a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, partially cover the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat on the stovetop.

Carefully seal the pot tightly with foil. Transfer the pot to the oven, and bake until the apples are tender when pierced with a thin skewer, 30 to 35 minutes.

Remove the foil very carefully when testing to avoid the steam in the pot. (It’s OK if the skin has split on some of the apples).

Remove and discard the vanilla bean pod. Set the apples and their cooking liquid aside to cool until warm or room temperature before serving. Keep the oven set to 325 F (160 C).

Meanwhile, to toast the streusel, spread it on a baking sheet, and bake in the oven until crispy and darkened slightly in color, 5 to 10 minutes, checking carefully to make sure the streusel doesn’t burn. Set aside.

To serve, use a large spoon to carefully transfer each apple, with its cinnamon stick still in the center, to an individual serving bowl. Spoon the reserved liquid around the apples. Sprinkle each apple with toasted streusel, and garnish with a mint sprig. Serve immediately.

STREUSEL Makes 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) 1/4 cup (60 mL) unblanched whole almonds 1/3 cup (80 mL) all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg Pinch of ground cardamom 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces 1/3 cup (80 mL) quick-cooking oats Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).

Spread the almonds on a baking tray, and toast until fragrant and nicely browned, 15 to 18 minutes, turning occasionally with a metal spoon.

Set aside to cool. Transfer to a food process with the stainless-steel blade and pulse briefly just until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Put the flour, brown and granulated sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom in the food processor. Pulse on and off a few times to combine. Add the butter, and process just until the mixture reaches a uniform coarse, crumbly texture. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl.

Add the oats and almonds to the mixture, and stir just until thoroughly combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use, up to three weeks; or transfer to a freezer container and freeze for up to three months.
