By Kimberly Bosco BEACH HAVEN – W hile Labor Day may sig nal the end of summer for many, only true locals know that summer officially culminates with Long Beach Island’s annual Chowderfest.

On October 5 and 6,

thousands of “chowderheads” flocked to Beach Haven for the annual event, sending off the 2019 summer season with tons of beer, wine, and – of course – chowder. Despite cloudy skies, the scent of red and white chowders war med the air and

festival attendees relished in the chilly fall weather while milling about the Bay Village area, chowder samples in hand.

Hosted by the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, the 31st Annual Chowderfest weekend brought out

13,506 chowder enthusiasts, beating out last year’s record-breaking 13,000.

“Chowderfest was created to extend the local economy and promote tourism past the traditional Labor Day Weekend. The Sunday October 6 Cook Off was a tremendous success for the entire region,” stated Lori A. Pepenella, Chief Executive Officer of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce.

Since its inception, Chowderfest has grown larger each year, attracting attendees and chowder cooks from all over the country, from states such as California, Connecticut, Colorado, North Carolina, (Chowder - See Page 4)

Stafford Fights Funding Cuts With Upcoming Rally

By Kimberly Bosco STAFFORD – On October 18, Stafford Township school officials invite the community to a rally in support of the students in the face of drastic cuts to school funding.

NJ Senate bill S-2, fi rst proposed by Senate President Stephen Sweeney in 2017 and then signed into law

by G ove r n o r Ph i l Murphy in 2018, cuts “adjustment aid” to school districts that the state has deemed t o be ove r f u nde d , i ncludi ng St af ford Township schools.

“Over the next five

years we stand to lose about two and a half million dollars and we’re already feeling the impact now,” said Board of Education member Joe Mangino at a recent township meeting.

Mangino took time during public session to extend a formal invitation to the township council members.

The Stafford Township Board of Education is hosting a rally/ community gathering on Oct. 18 at the Oxycocus School to bring awareness to the funding issue. Mangino (Rally - See Page 5)

A member of the Barnegat Township Police Department since 2003, Ptl. Hoffman had a very positive impact on his fellow officers and community.

“Ptl. Hoffman was always here to serve the Barnegat community however he could.

During Superstorm Sandy in 2012, Alex donated his personally owned 2.5-ton truck to be used by the agency. That truck was used to conduct high-water rescues at the peak of the storm, saving lives,” stated Barnegat Police.

Ptl. Hoffman is remembered by the force as well as other local organizations.

Barnegat First Aid Squad wrote: “Our thoughts are with the Hoffman family and all of the Barnegat Police Dept. Alex was an amazing officer to work with, he will be greatly missed. RIP Officer Alex Hoffman.”

“Our thoughts are with Alex’s wife, children, family, and friends as they navigate this incredibly difficult time,” said Barnegat Police.

“The idea is to rally the community because a lot of people don’t understand what these cuts mean to the town and to the school district,” said Mangino.

The rally will be held from 5-7 p.m. at the Oxycocus School, located at 250 N. Main St. in Manahawkin.

Mayor’s Forums To Air On Channel 22

STAFFORD – Stafford Township Mayor Greg Myhre will begin holding monthly Mayor’s Forums that are airing on Channel 22 at 7 a.m., 12 p.m. and 8 p.m. daily to highlight areas of interest in the Township. Currently airing is an interview with

FIXING TWO PROBLEMS WITH ONE LENS

As we age, our eyes’ lenses begin to lose their flexibility, giving rise to “presbyopia” (Greek for “old eye”) and the need for reading glasses. At the same time, eye lenses are also likely to become progressively cloudy, a condition known as “cataracts,” which causes blurry vision. “Lens replacement surgery” (LRS) has been developed so that ophthalmologists can take care of both problems with a single procedure. It involves removing the natural lens and replacing it with a synthetic substitute called an “intraocular” lens. While LRS may be described as cataract surgery, it also serves to correct vision by changing the lens’ focusing ability. The technique can correct eyesight for far- and near-sightedness as well astigmatism.

Intraocular lenses come in different focusing powers, just like prescription eyewear or contact lenses. Your ophthalmologist will measure the length of your eye and the curve of your cornea. These measurements are used to set the focusing power of your lenses. When you need the best eye care in the area, look to SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES. Please call 732-349-5622 to schedule an eye exam. For our patients who wear glasses and contacts we offer an array of options, from fashionable eyewear to comfortable contact lenses.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Make Local Changes Matter People are so angry at what’s going on in the world that they overlook the small, solvable problems just outside their door.

People watch or read world news but not local news. Why is it that someone can say what’s going on in another country but they have no idea what’s going on in their ow n tow n? They can tell you the names of the movers and shakers in Washington, but couldn’t tell you the name of their own mayor.

You might be wellversed in a national debate, but no one on the federal level cares what you think. You are just one voter. One drop of rain in the ocean. Your opinion on the national or international theater means nothing.

Now, of course, if you are par t of a g reater

movement that is something. But Donald Trump or Phil Murphy aren’t going to listen to one solitary voter.

On the contrar y, if you want to really affect change, start local. I’ve been to some council or board of education meetings where the only people in the audience are reporters. If you have a solution, if there’s a dangerous road, if the taxes are too high, if there are neighbors who are breaking township codes, t hese a re t he changes you can make.

It’s a bit hypocritical of me because I can’t get out to my own town meetings as much as I would like, but I want to underscore the importance of getting involved in your own town.

Letters To The Editor Mayor Challenged To Debate My name is Laura Shaw.

I am running for the office of Mayor of Berkeley Township. I am a lifelong resident of the Bayville section and this is my first time running for elected office.

I am excited and humbled to be running for mayor in the town I grew up in. I have spent the last several months knocking on doors and meeting residents. It has been an enlightening and rewarding experience.

I have three terrific running mates, also all first time candidates. We got into this race for all the right reasons; mainly to improve the qualit y of life in our hometown and keep it affordable to live here. I have a lot of ideas to achieve these goals and I would like to share them in a public setting, and cont rast them with our current mayor’s ideas and his eight year record.

I have let it be known that I want to have a debate with our current mayor.

I have challenged him to a debate on social media several times and have had no response. I think t he voters of Berkeley Township need and deserve to hear their elected officials and those seeking off ice present their platforms.

Since I have not received any response to my previous overtures, I want to take this opportunity, in a public newspaper for all to see, to challenge Mayor Amato to a debate. I will comply with any format he wants to use; a moderator, a panel discussion, a voter Q&A. He can pick the date, the time and the location.

I k now there are undecided voters in town who would find a mayoral debate to be helpf ul in making this very important decision. So what do you say, Mayor Amato?

Shall we give the voters

Letters To The Editor an opportunity to see us m a ny lo c a l non - p r of it Sept. 14, 2019). share our ideas and our contrasting visions? I will await your response.

Laura Shaw Berkeley

Amato’s Leadership, Compassion Got Us Through Sandy I want to express my deep appre ciat ion t o Mayor Car men A mato for his assistance and leadership during Superstorm Sandy.

On the 29th of this month, we will mark the 7th ann ive r sa r y si nce Sa ndy decimated our area. I was one of the unlucky ones, as I lost most of my home on that day. Many of my neighbors in Glen Cove, some in Good Luck Point and Berkeley Shores were also vict i ms of Sa ndy, losing everything.

Before and during the storm, Mayor Amato kept us residents informed by sending out messages and automated calls. Immediately after the stor m, Mayor Amato personally went into the storm-ravaged areas with dozens of trucks and equipment with public works personnel to start the long clean-up process. T his clean-up was at no cost to any of the residents affected by Sandy.

During the long twowe ek bla ckout , Mayor Amato coordinated with JCP&L to have free water and ice for area residents at the recreation center.

He was there helping distribute it most evenings a n d we e ke n d s! M ayo r Amato also ordered 24hour police protection and command posts to protect the areas from criminals so only “US” residents had access to our dark neighborhoods.

A few weeks later, Mayor A mato held publ ic i nformation seminars and wo r k s h o p s w it h SBA , FEM A, Red Cross and

groups to help and aid our residents in the rebuilding process. The Mayor sol icit e d a nd r e c eive d $200,000 from the Robin Ho o d Fou nd at ion t h at provided mini grants to homeowners. When the state and federal government finally allocated the Sandy Relief funding, it was Mayor Amato who took the ext raordi nar y steps to notify the affected residents of the grants that would be available and how to apply for them.

A s P r e sid e nt of t h e Berkeley Township Taxpayers Coalition, I also want to commend Mayor Amato and the Council for the outstanding job they have done in keeping our Township affordable, despite the loss of tens of millions of dollars in retables during Superstorm Sandy. Berkeley Township has the SECOND lowest overall Proper t y Taxes in all of Ocean County, thanks to their hard work.

Mayor Amato is running for re-election this year. I wanted to remind the residents of the extraordinary effort he put forth then, during the worst natural disaster to hit our area in my lifetime, and the effort he puts forth each and every day serving our community. Mayor Amato has ear ned my suppor t and I encourage you to vote for Mayor Amato and the entire the Amato Team on Column A. Samuel Cammarato, President Berkeley Township Taxpayers Coalition Superstorm Sandy Survivor

The Corrupt Conservative Media A writer from Manchester talks about the corrupt liberal media, Fake news and silent majority (“Silent Majority Should Stand Up Vs. Media Bias,”

Let’s start with silent majority. Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million votes. That’s not a majority. His approval rating has never been even close to 50%.

As far as being silent I don’t see that from Trump supporters. They are gener ally bu llies spew i ng false claims and they hate facts.

On the fake news media that would apply to Fox News who constantly comes out with “alternate facts.” They have been caught over and over making false statements, taking statements out of context to change the meaning and many times outright lies. Their retractions are a lways af t e r m id n ig ht when most of their viewers are not watching. I remember one in particular during the controversy of football players kneeling during the National Anthem where they showed a photo of players from the Philadelphia Eagles k neeling stating it was during the anthem when is act ually was players praying before the game.

They made a retraction in writing but never retracted it during the show it was broadcast. I never saw anything that blatant done on any other news show.

And of course let’s not forget the King of Fake News Donald Trump himself, the man is pathological liar who gets caught several times a day making false or outrageous statements. Remember he went for two years saying President Obama was not born in the US and he was going to show indisputable proof. W hat ever hap pened to that proof?

Fox News and Tr ump harassed Obama daily but I guess you forgot that.

I thin k the eight abysmal years you are talking about were the Bush presidency.

5 Tips To Keep Your Technology Going Strong THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7 • 11AM TO 3PM

Meet Radio Host

Does hearing technology call for ongoing professional upkeep? Can I handle any needed maintenance at home? How can I tell whether my devices are damaged?

Where can I take them for replacement or repair?

Much like today’s tablets and cell phones, hearing aids are powered by complex technology that may require professional attention in certain circumstances, but a little DIY maintenance can go a long way in keeping your devices in top shape.

Read on for five simple tips to maximize your tech’s longevity.

Keep ’Em Dry and Sanitized: Water is kryptonite to hearing aids, so remember to remove them before showering or swimming, and use a hearing aid dryer or dehumidifier not only to reduce moisture but to sanitize and store your technology at the same time.

Wipe Off the Wax: Earwax (also called cerumen) naturally accumulates in the ear and on your hearing aid, but gently wiping your devices each night with a soft, dry cloth and clearing the part of the device that goes into your ear canal with the provided tooth brush will make quick work of the buildup.

Check the Batteries: Batteries typically can last from a few days to a couple weeks

depending on the technology, usage, and other factors, but a constantly beeping hearing aid may mean the batteries need changing. Always keep spares on hand, and remember to remove and store batteries at room temperature apart from your hearing aids when not wearing them. Ask for a “battery caddy.”

Replace the Wax Guard: Put your hearing aid’s wax guard — which helps protect against the damaging accumulation of wax, skin particles, and debris — on a monthly change schedule. Also, if your technology isn’t functioning properly even with fresh batteries, it may be time to change the wax guard.

Skip the Pockets: Pockets seem naturally convenient for carrying loose hearing aids and batteries while on the go, but not so fast! Keep your devices in their case to avoid losing or getting debris on them, and place batteries where they won’t come into contact with keys, coins, and other metals, which can cause battery discharge and other problems.

Self-care of your hearing aids is an important part of keeping them performing their best, and periodic clean and checks with our caring professionals will identify and address any damage or other problems that might otherwise be harder to spot.

B Vitamin Deficiency Apparent In The Potty

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

When you think of B complex, you probably think of it as one B vitamin, but “B Complex” refers to a group of B vitamins consisting of B1, B2, B3, B6 and others.

The B Complex available as a dietary supplement is intended to fill a nutrient gap that some people develop from malnutrition.

This is fine, however most people can eat their way to better B status.

The concerns about B vitamin deficiency are frequently overlooked by the most caring practitioners. Remember, the mindset in today’s atrocious health care system is to medicate you, so you’re bound to get a drug for a symptom, even if that symptom stems from a nutrient deficiency! But that’s what you have me for, I have written articles for 20 something years to help you identify nutrient depletion and proper ways of restoration.

Here are some signs and symptoms of B deficiency: Fatigue, anemia, diarrhea, hypothyroidism, burning mouth, nerve pain, memory issues, depression, vision/hearing difficulty, hair loss, confusion, agitation and numbness. Do you have a lot of those?

One thing that leads to B vitamin deficiency is being a fussy eater. There’s a new case study about a boy who was so fussy about his food that all he ate was fries, white bread, potato chips, slices of ham and sometimes sausage.

Perhaps you know a child or adult who has a limited diet? According to the case study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the teenager impacted his hearing and vision. So profound was his B12 deficiency,

injections of it could not save his sight.

As adults, B deficiencies could be even more profound due to the oxidative oxidative damage that occurs from drinking alcohol, smoking and taking medicines which deplete B vitamins. Medications that are known to lower B vitamins include oral contraceptives, blood pressure pills, metformin, antibiotics and acid blockers.

The first sign of B12 deficiency could be apparent in the potty. I’m referring to diarrhea or loose stools. If you suddenly have this problem, and it’s not related to food poisoning or antibiotic use, then consider a B vitamin deficiency.

A balanced diet will give you the full range of B vitamins, so don’t worry if you eat eggs, vegetables, salad, fruits, chicken, seafood, red meat, dairy and nuts. If you have a limited diet for some reason, and you decide to supplement, buy a B complex that offers the B nutrients in their body-ready, biologically active form. For example, “methylfolate,” not folic acid, and “pyridoxal phosphate,” not pyridoxine.

Most people don’t realize that some of the most important B vitamins are manufactured in the GI tract by our own microflora (probiotics help restore healthy microflora).

So a deficiency in biotin, B12 and other B’s could indicate that you’ve stripped your gut of healthy probiotics. This contributes to the diarrhea, or for some, constipation alternating with diarrhea. If you have pins/needles or neuropathy, or you take the medication metformin, then B vitamins are essential for you.

Inside The Law Residential Real Estate Tax Appeals Basics

Robert C. Shea Esq.

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

January is the time to consider whether to appeal your residential real estate taxes. This article will address some of the most commonly asked questions about tax appeals.

The most important thing to understand about real estate tax appeals is what you can and cannot appeal. Under New Jersey law, you can only appeal that the assessment for your property is in excess of the property’s fair market value. The assessment is the municipality’s determination as to the value of your property. This determination is sent to each taxpayer around February 1 of each year in the form of a post card identifying the property and the current assessment.

It is equally important to know what you cannot appeal. You cannot appeal the following: (1) the amount of taxes which you have to pay; (2) whether you can afford to pay the taxes; (3) that another person is paying less taxes than you; and (4) that the assessment of another property is less than yours. Thus, the local County Tax Board can only hear appeals that the property’s assessment is greater than its fair market value.

The municipal tax assessment is entitled to a presumption that it is correct.

It is up to the taxpayer to prove that the assessment is excessive. To do this, the taxpayer must present evidence to the Tax Board as to the correct fair market value of the property. This evidence

should be in the form of sales of compara- Marc S. Galella Esq. ble properties which occurred on or before October 1 of the year prior to the filing of the appeal. Since most people do not know how to obtain comparable sales, it is best to hire a State licensed or certified real estate appraiser to prepare an appraisal showing the comparable sales. The appraisal must be filed with the Tax Board no later than one week prior to the tax appeal hearing date. The appraiser should also be at the hearing to present the appraisal.

In most cases all tax appeals must be filed no later than April 1 of each year.

However, the appeal deadline may be earlier or later. It is best to check with the town as to the filing deadline. The filing deadline is strictly enforced and the failure to file by the deadline will result in the appeal being dismissed. Taxpayers seeking to file appeals should begin the process as soon as they receive the assessment card from the tax assessor.

Because the laws and procedures regarding tax appeals are complicated, it is a good idea to retain the services of an attorney to assist you in filing and pursuing the appeal. R. C. Shea and Associates has a long history of obtaining reductions in tax assessments for our clients.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

She’s Got Happy Feet And He’s Got Cold Feet

Dear Joel, My husband is a charming man. He’s faithful and loves people, but when we go to parties and he hears music, he’s turns into a dancing machine. The problem is I’m not. He dances with everyone… young or old, family or friends even kids. Am I wrong to feel a little jealous when he’s dancing with other women? I’ll admit I have two left feet, but how should I deal with my resentment?

Answer I’ll bet there are some women who are a little jealous of you. Most men hate dancing which may just be why your husband is so popular. I know it’s hard to sit on the sidelines, but what is really disturbing you? Are you afraid he’s flirt-

ing or that he is having a better time than you? Try enjoying his performances. You have a very rare thing, a husband who likes dancing. Some people bring their prize winning recipes to parties; you instead bring a dancing partner for all with you, which makes you very popular too. Look at your husband like he’s a bestselling book at the library; everyone shares and enjoys it and in the end, it winds back up at home.

Donate And Save A Life: Ocean County Mall Marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Mall is marking October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month by partnering with Susan G. Komen, the world’s leading nonprofit breast cancer organization.

As part of Simon’s fall campaign, over 150 Simon Malls, Mills, and Premium Outlets nationwide, including the Ocean County Mall, will be participating in a range of activities during the month of October.

“We are thrilled to launch our More Than Pink initiative and have been overwhelmed by the ongoing positive support this movement has garnered with our shoppers, retailers, and employees to support Susan G. Komen in its tireless efforts to save lives and end breast cancer forever,” said Erin Barbato of Ocean

County Mall.

If you make a $10 donation to Susan G. Komen during the month of October at the Ocean County Mall, you will receive a discount pass valid at participating retailers.

When purchasing a gift card at the Mall Office, Simon will donate $1 to Komen for each specially marked Visa Simon Giftcard purchased.

The More Than Pink initiative allows Ocean County Mall to do its part in helping to save lives and helping Komen reach its Bold Goal of reducing the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50 percent in the United States by 2026.

Last year, Simon raised more than $550,000 to benefit Susan G. Komen, all generated through the support and participation of shoppers, retailers, and employees.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes With A Little Spice And Zest

By Wolfgang Puck ROASTED SPICED SWEET POTATO PUREE WITH ORANGE ZEST Serves 4 to 6 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut crosswise into rounds 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1-inch (2.5-cm) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and cut into 4 pieces 1 whole cinnamon stick 1 cup (250-ml) good-quality low-sodium chicken stock or vegetable stock Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Finely grated zest of 1 orange 1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional) 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Set the rack in the middle of the oven.

Put the sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss them until evenly coated.

Spread the sweet potatoes in a roasting pan. Evenly scatter the ginger and cinnamon pieces among the

potatoes. Pour in the stock. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.

Place the covered roasting pan in the oven. Roast the sweet potatoes until they are tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork, about 45 minutes, very carefully opening a corner of the foil away from you to avoid the steam.

When the sweet potatoes are done, remove the pan from the oven and set it aside on the stovetop for about five minutes.

Carefully remove the foil. Pick out and discard the pieces of ginger and cinnamon stick. While the potatoes are still hot, use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until they are as chunky or smooth as you like. Sprinkle in the orange zest and stir well. If you’d prefer a richer flavor, add butter to taste, stirring to incorporate it as it melts.

Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed with a little more salt and pepper.

Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a heated serving bowl or individual serving plates. Garnish with chives and serve immediately.
