According to Renaissance Women’s Club president Barbara Clark, the school district includes 105 special needs students between its six schools: three elementary, middle, high school and the Regional Day School. Manchester school district superintendent David Trethaway attended alongside the students, Club members, the PTA, and district teachers and administrators.

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – With the recent pipe bomb detonation so close to home in Seaside Park, the Manchester Township Council invited police lieutenant James Sharkey to speak about security at Town Hall as well as the entire township. How well are the Manchester Township Police prepared to deal with terrorism? The issue of security has been at the forefront of officials’ minds since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, Sharkey told Council and the public at the September 26 Council meeting. “On a general basis, the officers are out there. They’re working every day. They attend a lot of training on a year basis that specializes in these areas, how to detect terrorism, how to respond to dif ferent terrorism-li ke incidents,” Sharkey said. “We do a lot of in-service training here. We’re working with the school system to get ALICE adopted.” ALICE, which stands for “Alert, Lockdown,

Citing Priest Retirements, Diocese Explores Sharing Between Churches

A

By Courtney McCann year after it began, the Diocese of Trenton’s Faith in our Future initiative is heading into the final turn with its conclusion in sight. The diocese launched the initiative in the Fall of 2015 with the goal of strengthening the parishes in the diocese, exploring new models of leadership and improving the stewardship of the diocese resources. “The general goal is to continue to have a vibrant

Catholic community,” said Reverend Stephen Piga, pastor of St. Maximilian Kolbe Church in Toms River. “A lot of priests are retiring and there are not enough new priests. We want to find ways to share resources so that when things get really tight we’ll be able to work together and help each other.” The Faith in Our Future initiative began with each parish establishing a core team to evaluate the parish. In the spring of 2016, those core teams then aligned

with three to five neighboring parishes to form “cohorts” to discuss and propose new ways to align and work together. There are 25 cohorts in all, with 15 made up of parishes in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Parishes have the option to be in several models, including but not limited to: Collaborative – A formal cooperative relationship is formed, with the parishes sharing some staff, developing joint outreach programs, coordinating com-

mon training of catechists and Eucharistic ministers and more. Linked – Two or more parishes share a pastor and do many things collaboratively, such as programs and in-services. Merged – Two or more parishes come together to form a single entity under a new name. Father Vincent Euk of the Church of St. Veronica in Howell is a member of Cohort 14, together with St. (Churches - See Page 5)

Inform, Counter, Evacuate,” is an active shooter civilian response training created by the ALICE Training Institute. The Manchester Times spoke with school superintendent David Trethaway in March about that training. “The training really opened my eyes to the importance of providing options for our staff and students in the event of a dangerous incident at the school,” Trethaway said back in March. “In light of all the events that have occurred, there is no more important responsibility than to keep our staff and students safe and prepared.” Having a terrorist attack in Ocean County makes that training more necessary. “The day to day things, we really count

William Abbot of Howell and St. Catherine of Sienna in Farmingdale. The recommendations for Euk’s cohort include linking St. Veronica with St. Catherine of Sienna, linking St. William Abbot with the Church of the Epiphany from Cohort 20, or – the most likely option – the three parishes of Cohort 11 as well as the Church of the Epiphany in Brick having a collaborative relationship.

The Manchester Times, October 8, 2016, Page 5 on the vigilance of our police officers that are out there, seeing things that, as a trained police officer, come to their eye,” Sharkey said. “Bu we also spend a lot of time responding to information that comes in either through our tip line or some other venue that brings our attention to something that’s going on.” Cooperation among federal, state and local authorities has increased dramatically since the 9/11 attacks. “If we receive something on a local level that might be related to a bigger picture, terrorism type incident, we have a very quick chain of communication that bumps it up to the highest level,” Sharkey said. “They can look at it and say, ‘Is this connected to anything bigger? Or is this something on a local level?’” The training for police officers has “in-

creased exponentially” in the 23 years Sharkey said he’s been an officer. “The Manchester Police Department and the Chief of Police Parker makes the officers get additional training to make them more prepared to act and respond to these types of incidents,” Sharkey said. As what reported in Micromedia Publications’ September 23 editions, a pipe bomb exploded in a trash can near the race route of Semper Five, a popular 5K race in Seaside Park on September 17 dedicated to the Marines with attendees from ROTC, veterans groups and other military. The race was immediately canceled, as was the Point Pleasant Seafood Festival that day, as the FBI, state police, K-9 and bomb squads from the local to the federal level swarmed the barrier island. No injuries were reported.

Federal i nvestigators began that week releasing photos of the suspect wanted for questioning at Chelsea, Elizabeth and Seaside, while the threat of detonated suspicious packages loomed. Police identified and captured Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, in Linden on September 19. Rahami was born in Afghanistan and came to the United States in 1995. He became a citizen in 2011. The Manchester Township Police assisted during the September 17 incident, as part of the regional county SWAT team. “We responded there along with the federal and state agencies and it seemed like that investigation in a shor t amount of time all pointed to North Jersey,” Sharkey said. “If there was work that needed to be done right here in Ocean County, we definitely would have been a part of that.”

“With everything that we spoke about, it seems like the best compromise,” Euk said, adding that under the collaborative model the four parishes would examine opportunities for shared services. “For example, we have a school so our parishes would be supporting our school by recommending that parents send their children there,” Euk said. “We would also join forces on things like our bereavement group.” St. Maximilian is part of Cohort 24 with the parishes of St. Joseph, St. Justin and St.

Luke in Toms River. The recommendation is that the parishes collaborate to form the Roman Catholic Churches of the Greater Toms River Area. “All four are vibrant parishes so we don’t really need to merge,” Reverend Piga said. “We’re looking to consolidate ministries under a steering committee of the four parishes to try to consolidate resources in order to increase participation in the Church.” Final recommendations for each cohort will be made to Bishop David O’Connell during the Advent season with formal deci-

sions to be announced by the new year and the new models to be implemented between January and July of 2017. The way that Euk looks at it, the Faith in our Future process has had the added benefit of prompting parishioners to look beyond their immediate parishes to the greater good of their faith. “Some people will just look in terms of the parish, but then they realize there is a diocese too,” Euk said. “They start to realize that greater charitable works can be done.”

F������� L����� Inspection Rules Unfair

Proposed new inspection rules will place an u n fa i r a nd exc e s sive burden on landlords and tenants in Howell. On August 15, the Howell Township Council approved a first reading of new additions to the rules requiring inspection of rental propert ies i n t he tow n sh ip. Currently, every rental requires annual licensing with a fee of $100 paid by the landlord, with inspection required only with a change of tenancy. The new rules, if passed, would require an annual inspection and an additional fee of $50. This change to Chapter 178 will have a negative impact on both landlord and tenant. Landlords do not have access to rental premises. Inspection of a dwelling while tenant occupied is an invasion of the tenant’s privacy, and will cause

an inconvenience and possible loss of income, since inspections take place during the work week and tenants will have to provide access. If repairs are required, these will also impact tenants who will again have to provide additional access for reinspection af ter repairs a r e m a d e (w it h i n 30 days) to prevent f ines from being imposed. These new rules are an unfair added tax and a hardship on one segment of the population i n Howel l Tow n sh ip, and should not be app r ove d . I e n c o u r a g e tenants and landlords to attend the next Council meeting on October 17, and also call Council members to encourage them to veto this unfair and burdensome annual inspection. Anne Hatami Freehold

Hillary Is The Answer? Do you really hate your country and your kids and grandkids this much? Do you like where Obama has made your life so much better economically, financially no matter what race you are? Do you think you are better off than eight years ago? Hillary is your answer? Do you like how Hillary loves women, except the ones who slept with her husband? Wouldn’t it be great to lie about everything, enrich yourself and your mate to unimaginable wealth from foreign governments, disrespect the families of brave people who served their country and lost their lives, and to break every rule and law with the bless-

ing of one political party? Hillary’s your answer? Isn’t it wonderful to see our once great countr y d isrespected by Mex ico, Russia, Syria, Korea, China and Iran with more to come? Hillary’s the answer. By now you probably have gotten the hint of who I will be voting for. If you have dreamed of living in a third world country, destroyed by radical Muslim terrorists, you won’t have to move: Hillar y is the answer. Paul R. Hueck Berkeley

Another Lying Clinton H i l la r y Cl i nt on a nd Barack Obama made sure Osa ma Bi n Laden was given a respectful burial. A burial which was equal to American military personnel. They made sure a mass murderer was given a burial at sea. Now Hillary brings forth a Muslim American soldier as a symbol of all Muslim American soldiers in service of our military. No mention of the shooting in Fort Hood, Texas, or what faction was responsible for those murders. Hillary brings forward this one Musli m A mer ica n soldier’s (hero) parents and plays down thousands of other American service men and women who also lost their lives to Muslim fanatics. Hillary wants to open her arms in acceptance of all

Muslims including the fanatics that are woven into the fabric of the Muslim massive immigration. This immigration is throughout the world. Trump is trying to prevent the infi ltrations by the terrorists into our society. Are we so stupid to ignore Hillary’s betrayal of our country? Are we going to elect her so she can allow more legal and illegal immigration of terrorists? Life today is fi lled with fear. Our fear is multiplied at any travel depot, any gathering of Americans in the land of the free. Sporting events, houses of worship are now places of concern, our schools, our places of work, places of enter tain ment all have become a place with a fear factor that never existed prior to 9/11. We are at war with terrorists, Hillary invites the enemy with her “do anything” to get elected policy. Trump may be abrasive but he is willing to face the truth and if it hurts a few feelings in order to protect the lives of all then there is no disputing who we need as president of the United States. Neither of the Clintons ser ved in the milit ar y, neither of the Clintons made any sacrifice nor suffered any loss protecting America. Yet as a means of getting votes, they have brought forward a Gold Star Family from a war which she voted to commence. She is as shrewd as a vixen. Her campaign is as bloodthirsty as the terrorist we all now fear on a daily basis. She will let more ter rorists into our homeland so they can destroy us as they have sworn to do. Allow them to hide in plain view till the time is right to strike and decimate our people. The threat is real and Hlliary will sell us out in a flash. She had the audacity to present a Gold Star Family into her campaign. Has she forgotten her words,

“What difference does it make now, anyway?” A big difference. She has downplayed the sacrifices of all of America’s military and is now using the death of one as a political ploy. She is repulsive. How much more can we ignore? What is happening to our country? She is embracing our enemy. She is giving our country away to terrorists. She is appeasing all who demand our sovereignty and safety. Vote for the man who will protect us. Michael Meehan Toms River

Greater Protections Needed A 1984 New Jersey law requires strict standards for carcinogens prevalent i n the st ate’s d r i n k i ng water and established the Drinking Water Quality Institute (DWQI), a body of public health, technology and scientific experts, to recommend such standards to the NJ Department of Environ mental Protection Commissioner. Since its inception, DWQI was nationally recognized as a leader in establishing strong scientifically justified drinking water standards and multiple g uber nator ial ad ministrations from both parties always complied with its advice. He re i n New Je r sey, re ce nt a nd reg u la r re por ts of high levels of lead and carcinogens like hex ava le nt ch r om iu m , perchlorate, over a dozen volatile organics, radon, and PFOA in community water supplies throughout the state highlight the need for greater protections. Federal action is especially needed given Governor Christie’s repeated failure to heed the advice of his own Administration’s scientific experts.

MANCHESTER – A Manchester man has been arrested after fleeing from members of the Manchester Township Police Narcotics Enforcement Team (N.E.T.). The man, who was attempting to sell heroin, led officers on a foot pursuit through multiple yards in the Pine Lake Park area, causing one of the officers to sustain minor injuries as a result of being bitten in the leg by a Pit Bull. On September 23, narcotics officers observed 24-year-old Amid Fisher, of Twelfth Avenue, attempt to sell heroin to another person in the Pine Lake Park area. As officers made contact with Fisher, he immediately fled from them on foot leading officers on a foot chase over multiple fences and through multiple backyards in the area of Bismark Street and Twelfth Avenue. During the chase, Fisher discarded quantities of heroin in the backyard of a resident’s home on Twelfth Avenue.

Fisher was taken into custody by officers at which time an extensive search for the heroin was conducted. The search resulted in the recovery of the discarded heroin. Fisher was arrested and charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute, possession of heroin, loitering for the purpose of selling CDS, hindering apprehension and obstruction of justice. Total bail was set at $6500 with a 10 percent option. Fisher later posted bail at Manchester Police headquarters and he was subsequently released on bail. Also assisting with this investigation were members of the Manchester Police Patrol Bureau which included Manchester Police K-9 Lynk. Residents are reminded that drug related tips can be reported to the Manchester Police anonymously at 732-657-6111 or online via the Department’s website, manchesterpolicenj. com, by clicking the “Tip Line” link.

Bartley Healthcare Walks For Alzheimer’s

POINT PLEASANT – On September 24, Bartley Healthcare teammates participated in The Alzheimer’s Walk. Every year Bartley has numerous fundraisers to raise money to donate to The Alzheimer’s Association of New Jersey. This year, Bartley Healthcare raised about $3,000. On September 23 Bartley also held a resident, staff, and family Alzheimer’s Walk on their campus. Bartley employees each took a resident one lap around the building, ending at the finish line, where there were cupcakes to enjoy and bracelets being sold to raise money for The Alzheimer’s Association. There were about 50 people in attendance for Bartley’s on campus walk, between family members, residents, and employees, and a great time was had by all who attended. According to The Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases. Alzheimer’s worsens over time. It is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years. In its early stages, memory loss is mild, but with late-stage Alzheimer’s, individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment. Those with Alzheimer’s live an average of eight years after their symptoms become noticeable to others, but survival can range from four to 20 years, depending on age and other health conditions. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia, you

GROW In Whiting

WHITING – GROW is a community mental health movement that has helped thousands of mental sufferers worldwide. GROW was started in Sydney, Australia in 1957. At that time, some emotional sufferers noticed others like themselves in the meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous. They were not drinkers but felt the 12 steps of A.A. could help them with their emotional issues. Having recognized the need, they formed what has now become the GROW community out of these early experiences with Alcoholics Anonymous. However, the main focus though is on mental health recovery. GROW is not an acronym but states the goal of the program, “growing” into maturity or mental health.

The local branch of GROW, GROW in New Jersey is in the process of forming a group in Whiting. The group will meet at Christ Evangelical Church in Whiting at 1 p.m. every Tuesday. Christ Evangelical is located at 300 Schoolhouse Rd. The group can help with any type of emotional issue from bipolar disorder to everyday stresses such as depression, anxiety and loneliness. Anyone who is interested should contact the Field Worker, John for more information. He can be reached at 732-2280932. Information can also be found online at growinamerica.org. Meetings are free but small voluntary donations are welcome.

GOLD BUYERS, LLC –Photo by Catherine Galioto Seaside Heights swapped 1.36 acres of beach for a parking lot farther north, in order to expand its pier. Crews began driving the pilings recently and a new roller coaster sits unassembled. By Catherine Galioto SEASIDE HEIGHTS – New pilings stand erect on the beachfront, marking the next step in expanding Casino Pier northward. The amusement pier will grow more than an acre to make way for additional rides, the result of a controversial land swap that pitted environmentalist and public access advocates against those in support of the expansion, who said it would increase tourism and sustain the economy of Seaside Heights. Now, the project is underway, with the temporary dunes recognizable in the off season pushed aside at Sherman Avenue to mark off where the new footprint of the pier would go. Nearby in the Casino Pier’s maintenance lot across the street of Ocean Terrace, the parts of a new blue and green roller coaster sat unassembled. The activity comes after several months of public hearings and awaiting approvals between all parties, for a plan that would take 1.36 acres of Seaside Heights beachfront and give it to Casino Pier so the owners could build the pier northward with more amusements. The pier hasn’t rebuilt to its pre-Sandy size,

and instead of rebuilding back out over the ocean, the Storino Family who owns Casino Pier is pursuing beach land for its $30 million project to add rides such as a giant Ferris Wheel. In exchange for giving a parcel of beach to the north of the Casino Pier to the Storino Family for its project, the borough of Seaside Heights would get one of the Storino-owned parking lots in town, between Carteret and Sampson Avenues. That lot could possibly become the home of a museum that would house the historic carousel, transferring ownership of the landmark, hand-carved ride for preservation by the town. Originally, Casino Pier sought to build its pier south, buying land south, but a deal could not be reached between the owners. Rebuilding the pier to its length over the ocean is cost-prohibitive, its representatives said. That back part of the pier famously fell into the Atlantic Ocean as a result of Superstorm Sandy, the Jet Star roller coaster sitting in the water. This week, construction crews arrived for the initial work, temporarily closing the portion of the boardwalk near the Aztec to move in equipment.

MacArthur Hosts Brie�ing On Opioid Epidemic

NEW JERSEY – Congressman Tom MacArthur hosted a heroin and opioid epidemic briefing via conference call with Burlington County Prosecutor Robert Bernardi, Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato and local elected officials and first responders from New Jersey’s Third Congressional District. New Jersey’s heroin overdose death rate is triple the soaring U.S. rate Overall, drug overdoses now cause more deaths than car crashes, with opioids like OxyContin and other pain medications killing 44 people a day. Since 2010 there have been 184,038 people admitted to New Jersey substance abuse treatment facilities for heroin and opioid abuse There are five counties, including Ocean, where the heroin death rate exceeds the number of treatment beds available per 100,000 people. Ocean County accounts for 13 percent (3,688) of people in New Jersey admitted for heroin or opioid treatment MacArthur joined the Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic to unite behind the effort to take strong, immediate action on this crisis. MacArthur released a Resource Guide for Families Impacted by Heroin and Opioid Epidemic in South Jersey – this information is in Congressman MacArthur’s offices and online. MacArthur was one of the leaders in the House to pass the bipartisan, bicameral legislation that was recently signed into law by the President called the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act. This legislation provides additional support to state and local government and law enforcement. It creates an interagency taskforce that can review and modify best practices for the treatment of pain. This is essential, we know that prescription painkillers are a gateway for many into heroin addiction and we need better best practice standards for our medical professionals. It strengthens treatment programs for pregnant and postpartum women and their children. It expands the availability of overdose reversal drugs to law enforcement agencies and other first responders to help save lives. MacArthur led the request for additional funding for the Substance Abuse Block Grant program. Part of this program makes

sure funds are made available to acquire and distribute naloxone, the opioid antagonist capable of reversing the fatal effects of an opioid overdose. “The face of addiction has changed, and our communities need to join together to help individuals and families struggling with this growing epidemic,” said MacArthur. “Prosecutors Bernardi and Coronato are doing an outstanding job at the local level to combat this very real crisis. Our first responders and elected officials are facing this each day and I am dedicated to working with the families and communities in South Jersey to fight this epidemic, and win. Chances are, you may know someone engaged in a fight for their life right now—a fight you may not even know is happening—and our team in South Jersey is hard at work to end this epidemic once and for all.”

Restaurants Can Be Really Noisy One of the most common hearing problems we hear about is the difficulty of hearing in noisy restaurants. It seems that along with movies, television shows, and the world in general, restaurants have become noisier than ever. Loud background music, the clatter of silverware and dishes, the sounds of other diners raising their voices to be heard, all can make the restaurant setting a challenging and frustrating place to carry on a conversation. People with normal hearing also complain about noisy restaurants. According to Sagat Surveys, noise is the second most common complaint of restaurant-goers (second only to poor service). Research has documented that the noise levels of most restaurants are loud enough to interfere with normal conversations, whether or not the individual has a hearing loss. In general, family restaurants are much quieter than the bar/restaurant setting. The “elegant, upscale” restaurant will always

be the quietest setting by far. Apparently, patrons of more expensive restaurants receive not only better food and service for their dining dollar, they also get a better listening environment. Tips for hearing aid users in restaurants may include the following: (1) Try to sit away from the kitchen and with your back to a wall. Noise levels will be kept to a minimum and your waiter or waitress will have to face you when speaking, and (2) Try not to be a people watcher and sit towards the corner of a restaurant. You will be surprised how much better you will be hearing by preferentially situating yourself in any restaurant environment. Remember, we live in a very noisy place and even individuals with normal hearing have difficulty hearing in noisy restaurants. Utilizing effective communication strategies will help to reduce your frustration in these listening environments.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

Governor Signs Medical Marijuana Bill

NEW JERSEY – The following is Gov. Chris Christie’s statement upon signing Assembly Bill No. 457, “New Jersey Compassionate Use of Medical Marijuana Act.” Assembly Bill No. 457, which I have signed, expands the “New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act,” N.J.S.A. 24:6I-1, et seq., to include post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) as a debilitating medical condition for which medical marijuana may be authorized. Following the tragic events on September 11, 2001, the United States has vigorously fought terrorism beginning with Operations Enduring Freedom (“OEF”) and Iraqi Freedom (“OIF”). As a result of over a decade of active combat, the United States military has seen the largest number of PTSD cases in several generations. The National Center for PTSD within the United States Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that up to 20 out of every 100 veterans who served in OEF or OIF have PTSD. PTSD is a debilitating medical condition affecting the ability of the men and women who have served our country to lead normal lives.

Throughout the country significant resources are being used to research PTSD and increase access to traditional treatments, such as psychotherapy and antidepressant medications. This bill would provide struggling veterans and others with the ability to use medical marijuana to treat PTSD, but only after it has been determined by a physician or psychiatrist that conventional medical therapy is ineffective. Requiring conventional medical therapy to be ineffective in treating PTSD before medical marijuana can be prescribed is an appropriate threshold safeguard to deter misuse in the Medical Marijuana Program. However, in order to further deter abuse, I am directing the Commissioner of the Department of Health to promulgate additional regulations that provide clear objective criteria regarding the use of medical marijuana for PTSD. Nevertheless, the mere potential for abuse by some should not deter the State from taking action that may ease the daily struggles of our veterans and others who legitimately suffer from PTSD. Accordingly, I am approving inclusion of PTSD as a debilitating medical condition in the Medical Marijuana Program.

Health Problems That Clinton And Trump Might Expect

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I’m interested in politics and what our nominees are taking because it gives me a glimpse into their overall health. By looking at their medication, it’s like a ‘crystal ball’ and I can see the future and potential diseases they might get due to the drug mugging effect. If you don’t put back what medication ‘steals’ you could develop “diseases” that you don’t really have, diseases that are just simply due to vitamin or mineral deficiencies. I have a more comprehensive version of this article at suzycohen.com. In alphabetical order: Clinton, Hillary. The Democratic nominee, Senator Clinton has recently had some coughing spells due to pneumonia. She takes Armour Thyroid which is for hypothyroidism. The Levaquin she takes is temporary, as well as Clarinex, used for her respiratory infection. Coumadin, used for blood thinning or A-fib is taken daily and known generically as warfarin. If I was having dinner with Senator Clinton, I would not let her order anything with avocados or onions because there are clinically significant interactions with her warfarin. I wouldn’t let her drink grapefruit juice because it could spike the warfarin. Armour Thyroid should be taken first thing in the morning, upon arising. If milk or cream (with coffee) is desired, these calcium-containing foods should be separated two hours away from her thyroid medicine. Selenium could be helpful for her, as it improves thyroid hormone activation, plus it’s a strong antioxidant so it should reduce risk for future infections. The warfarin she takes is an anticoagulant sometimes used for A-fib. It’s a strong drug mugger of vitamin K (causing deficiency), however, she should not supplement with K

because it inactivates her medication. As for her Levaquin (levofloxacin), she risks harmful (and possibly irreversible) tendon or nerve damage. She needs probiotics because this improves thyroid hormone by 20 percent, plus reduces risk for stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation and immune dysregulation from the antibiotic. Because she’s under stress, and has low thyroid, I’d recommend Ashwagandha for her, taken at bedtime for restful sleep. Trump, Donald. The Republican nominee takes “rosuvastatin,” which goes by the brand name Crestor in the United States. His physician, Dr. Bornstein has stated that Mr. Trump takes low-dose aspirin, which is typically used for blood thinning. Statins are very strong ‘drug muggers’ of CoQ10, selenium and Vitamin D as well as other nutrients. Over time, the nutrient depletions could cause memory problems, leg cramps, muscle aches, weakness, erectile dysfunction, shortness of breath or heart arrhythmias. A deficiency of selenium could lead to reduced thyroid hormone. A deficiency of Vitamin D could impair immunity. I would like to see Mr. Trump manage cholesterol with fish oils and exercise, not statins. Aspirin could mildly deplete his vitamin C, iron, folate, and potassium levels resulting in fatigue, shortness of breath, pale skin, and methylation impairment. If I was to have dinner with Mr. Trump, I would never agree to eat fast food with him, even though he loves this nutritionally naked food. In light of his diet, I would suggest Magnesium L-threonate at bedtime, perhaps 200 mg which supports a healthy mood, muscular function and restful sleep.

Inside The Law Check Your Auto-Insurance Policy For Verbal Threshold

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Under New Jersey law, a person who simply fails to indicate their insurance preference is automatically assigned the Verbal Threshold limitation on lawsuits. This limitation severely affects an injured person’s ability to seek just compensation for injuries resulting from an auto accident. In fact, under the holding of Oswin v. Shaw, a plaintiff who elects Verbal Threshold is required to demonstrate, without regard to medical expenses, that his injury fits within one of the recognized categories under the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act, or “AICRA” for short. Under AICRA, the law states that, damages for non-economic losses must stem from bodily injury arising from the use, ownership, operation or maintenance of an automobile in New Jersey that results from one of the following: death; dismemberment; significant disfigurement of scarring; displacement fractures; loss of a fetus; a permanent injury within a reasonable degree of

medical probability. Fur ther, a person who elects Verbal Christopher R. Shea Esq. Threshold must also satisfy the tort option provisions contained w it h i n New Je r sey St at ute 39:6A-8(a). This statute indicates that, by law, an injured plaintiff must submit a physician’s certification. This certification requires a doctor to state, based on objective clinical evidence and under penalty of perjury, that the injured plaintiff has sustained an injury that is included in one of the above six statutory categories. As, you can imagine, selection of the Verbal Threshold policy will vastly effect an injured person’s ability to recover for a wrongly sustained injury. Therefore, protect your rights and the rights of those covered under your policy by reviewing your policy today.

Springsteen Fans Raise Funds For Food Bank

F R EEHOLD – New Je r sey St age (ne wjerse ystage.com) repor ted t hat Bruce Springsteen’s Facebook group, BruceBook, surpassed its initial goal for raising $6,700 in honor of Springsteen’s recent birthday, but shot for $10,000 by 5 p.m. on September 26 for the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The group boasts more than 7,000 members. According to New Jersey Stage, “Bruce Springsteen has been a long-time supporter of community food banks (and has performed benefits for the Monmouth and Ocean Food Bank itself) so this was the perfect cause for his fanbase.” The FoodBank began in 1984 when a small group of people saw hunger at the Jersey

Shore and decided to make a difference. They purchased a dilapidated warehouse in Spring Lake. Carpenters, masons and other members of the community donated work, office furniture and supplies. Food streamed in from hundreds of donors. After one year, the FoodBank was serving 25 charities with 100,000 pounds of food. Ten years later, nearly two million pounds of food was being distributed annually from the same small warehouse. Bursting at the seams, the FoodBank undertook a capital campaign in 1998 to construct a new facility in Neptune. Three years later, the current 40,000 sq. ft facility became a reality. For more information about the food bank, visit foodbankmoc.org.

A Focus On Nesting Birds, Turtles In Ocean County

By Daniel Nee There’s both good news and reason for concern when it comes to wildlife in southern Ocean County. It has been an “excellent” breeding year for beach nesting birds, but increased traffic have put terrapins at risk on a local roadway. The birds and terrapins are both the subjects of projects for the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, which has had success with preservation programs statewide, and is adding more local partners in Ocean County. Its nesting bird program, which often focuses on Long Beach Island beaches, has seen a banner year, according to Todd Pover, Beach Nesting Bird Project Manager for the organization. “The trends are clear,” he said, pointing to figures that are up from a year ago. For the 2016 nesting season, which peaked in August, there were 115 pairs of piping plovers statewide, up from 108 last year – the second consecutive increase after a record low 92 pairs were tracked in 2014. “The really good news is our productivity this year – close to a statewide record at 1.37 chicks fledged per pairs – puts us in the position to continue our population increase,” said Pover. The increased numbers mean the plover population could produce new breeding pairs in the next few years, Pover said. The population of Least terns and black skimmers were good this year in Holgate, one of the largest colonies of the species in the state, and made up for a downturn in population in Monmouth County. Though the numbers are difficult to track due to their tendency to nest deep in marshlands, signs indicate the American oystercatcher population is also doing well, Pover said. While the nesting bird population is increasing, the foundation is also working on protecting the northern diamondback terrapin population along Great Bay Boulevard – also known as Seven Bridges

Road – in Tuckerton. “Unfortunately, Great Bay Boulevard lacks a formal speed limit and mortality rates as a result of vehicle collisions are just one of the dangers the terrapin face,” said Corrine Henn, communications coordinator for Conserve Wildlife. Hundreds of terrapins cross the road each year looking for suitable nesting sites in the marshes on either side, Henn said. “From what I’ve seen and experienced from the beginning of this project is that many more people are more aware of terrapins on the road,” said Habitat Program Manager, Ben Wurst. “It is critical to have the support of the local community as they are the ones who frequent the area the most and can really play a huge role in their long term conservation.” In recent months, the Great Bay Terrapin Project has seen success in combatting kill rates along the road. The organization has started tracking and “notching” terrapins so they can be recaptured to ensure their health. The project has also led to new signs being posted along the road and fencing installed on busy sections to prevent the terrapins from crossing. There has also been an effort by volunteers to physically look after the species. “Our volunteers conduct road patrols to collect data on terrapins that are encountered on road and also help ensure that they cross safely,” said Henn. This summer, the project received a boost from Absolutely Fish, an aquarium maintenance company that also has an education and conservation mission. The company donated $5,000 to keep the preservation effort alive. The money was raised after the company hosted a live terrapin in their store. “People come into the store specifically to see her and are generally much more willing to help, donate, or take information when we have a terrapin in store,” said Jennifer Ruivo of Absolutely Fish. The full tally of the area’s terrapin population is expected to be announced this fall.

Love Them To Life: A Support Group For Mothers Of Addicts

WHITING – Mothers are on the front lines of dealing with sons or daughters who are in addiction, but most are not equipped to know what to do or not to do. They are so accustomed to nurturing our children (even as adults) that they often end up enabling addictive behavior. They also need the love and support of other moms who are going through the same deep waters of seeing their children destroy themselves and ripping out their hearts in the process. Love Them To Life is a group designed to support, encourage, and educate mothers of addicts. The purpose of the group is to let moms know that they are not alone, to help them get healthy in their bodies, souls, and spirits, to help them understand that Jesus Christ is the only true bondage

breaker, and to equip them to deal with their sons or daughters as they struggle with addiction. The curriculum covers topics such as enabling, codependency, denial, stealing, guilt, legal issues, how to recognize addictive behaviors, and many more. The group meets 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Monday nights at America’s Keswick, 601 Route 530. The curriculum is Beside Still Waters Discovering Peace in the Midst of Your Child’s Addiction. The cost is $20. The group is facilitated by Cherri Freeman, the founder of Love Them To Life and author of Beside Still Waters. For more information, call 800-453-7942.

Straighten Up and Fly Right: The Nat King Cole Tribute

TOMS RIVER – Straighten Up and Fly Right - The Nat King Cole Tribute featuring Ramsey Lewis and John Pizzarelli will be on October 16 from 7:30 to 10 p.m. at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts, 1 College Dr. Nat King Cole broke the pop barrier with his smoky, smooth vocals, stringing along a huge number of solid hits right after his first “Straighten Up And Fly Right” soared up the charts in 1943. As a singer, he was called “the best friend a song ever had,”

but he was essentially a jazz performer at heart. Even those later tracks crafted for the pop charts belie a piano technique, vocal phrasings, and on-the-mark orchestration that are indebted to his early roots in jazz. Ramsey Lewis and John Pizzarelli have tailored a tribute to the titan of fifties vocal pop, from his hits along with those singular tracks of sophisticated cool jazz that have influenced their own. Dinner Show tickets are $75. Orchestra and mezzanine tickets range from $49 to $45.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

When You Find Your Medicine You Take What You Can Get Dear Readers As you know my usual format is to pick and choose from my inbox and bring to you letters that I think will be most interesting. This week I will deviate from my norm by generalizing. I receive so much mail regarding the following, I feel that I am answering many letters at once. I’ve received hundreds of letters over the last year similar to this. People either personally or through a relative are being given wrong medications or incorrect dosages of medications that they were or were not prescribed. Throughout the healthcare world, of which I am very familiar, this is known as a “med error.” Although it does happen in hospitals and other places that healthcare is delivered, it is most common in your own home. People who take care of themselves often double up, skip, or substitute older medications. As you know by now, I am president of Preferred Home Health Care. One of the rules in home healthcare is that a registered nurse must prepare medication. Most people, however, do not need a nurse to pour their medication. Here are a few tips to help prevent any problems for those who are taking their medications by themselves. 1. Line up every medication that you should be taking. 2. Look for the following things: Your name (don’t laugh; it happens), the doctors’ names, the dosage and daily prescription. 3. Do not take your medication out of a

bottle day by day. Instead prepare a week of medication. I prefer not to use a day and night box that is built as one. I do recommend that you color code two kits, one for day and one for night. Yellow or light blue works well for morning and a deeper color to represent night. For those who need to take medications more than twice a day, adjust the above by buying three or four individual set ups. It’s bulkier but safer. For those who are on a limited budget, you can use egg cartons from the supermarket (not my favorite choice but it does work.) If you can, have someone in the house review what you have done. Once again, an RN would be great, but not always practical. I like setting up medication on Sundays if possible. Take all the bottles and put them away so that you don’t accidentally reach into the bottle out of habit. This will prevent accidental double ups. Prepare a list, and keep it on your person or somewhere visible should an emergency occur. Stay safe and healthy. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566. “Home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”

Master Composter Training Program

LAKEWOOD – Individuals interested in training as master composters are encouraged to participate in the Ocean County Master Composter Training Program scheduled for October. Offered by Ocean County’s Department of Solid Waste Management with the support of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the program will be held two consecutive Saturdays, October 15 and 22, to train individuals as master composters. Those who successfully complete the program then go on to assist with the county’s efforts in providing residents with information on managing the organic waste they produce in their homes and the benefits of composting. The 12-hour training program is provided free of charge to interested Ocean County residents and taxpayers. There is a $75 fee for nonresidents. The course is limited to 20 participants and the registration deadline is October 10. Registration can be made by calling Mary Jerkowicz, senior program monitor, at 732-506-5047. “This beneficial program is offered annually and provides a wealth of important information and hands-on learning on the importance of composting,” said Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to Solid Waste Management. “I encourage anyone who is interested to not hesitate to apply, space is limited.” Applicants are encouraged to secure sponsorship by a group or organization, which will ensure an opportunity to set up an outreach network for the program. Various organizations

can be considered sponsors such as garden clubs, municipalities, environmental commissions, recycling committees or retirement communities. The two-day program is held at the county’s Recycling Education Center at the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center, here. Sandra Blain-Snow, a member of the Island Heights Garden Club and an Ocean County Master Composter is the instructor. The class runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both dates. Light refreshments and lunch will be provided both days. “The Master Composter Program is a great way to learn to recycle materials that can be used later in the garden and in other natural settings,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly. “Master composters have been doing a great job in volunteering their time to help other Ocean County residents interested in composting. This program is a great learning experience and a good way to give back to the community.” All applicants should be familiar with gardening and composting and have some experience with speaking to small groups. Upon completing the program, master composters are asked to provide a total of 24 hours of outreach, education and service to promote the benefits of home composting. There is no time frame to complete the hours. “The environmental benefits of using compost are significant,” Little said. “It can help clean up contaminated soil, reduce runoff of toxic materials and improve your garden or lawn.”

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE ADVANCED FOOT & ANKLE SPECIALISTS, PC

By Lorraine Bolan To drag one’s feet is to proceed slowly, reluctantly or without enthusiasm. To sweep someone off their feet is to overwhelm with charm. And to stand on one’s own feet is to be independent and self-supporting. These are just a few examples of the many sayings that refer to the feet. But some may ask, why feet? Simply put, because the feet are the foundation of the body and just like any other structure, the body without a strong foundation will begin to suffer possible serious problems, making proper foot care of the utmost importance. Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, conveniently located in the Whiting Stop & Shop Shopping Center at 400 Lacey Road, Suite 9B, offers patients the exceptional care they deserve in the latest stateof-the-art facility by highly experienced and caring professionals. Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists was originally founded by Dr. Scott Amoss in 2000 and was formerly located in Toms River. In 2005, seeing there was a great need for his services in the area, Dr. Amoss relocated his practice to Whiting. In February of 2014, with the need for more space to accommo-

date his expanding practice and to house newer, more technically advanced equipment, Advanced Foot & Ankle relocated to its present beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and spacious facility. The personable Dr. Amoss is a highly-educated professional who is a lifelong resident of the Jersey Shore. The happily married father of three studied and received an undergraduate degree in chemistry at Cook College at Rutgers University. He became a member of a National Chemistry Honor Society and worked for several years as a chemist before he decided to pursue a career in medicine. Dr. Amoss attended the New York College of Podiatric Medicine where he finished fourth in his class of over 100 graduates and subsequently graduated cum laude in 2000. He is also the recipient of many honors and accolades, including Deans List recognition during all four years while attending the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. After completing a twoyear surgical residency at William B. Kessler Memorial Hospital in Hammonton, New Jersey, Dr. Amoss received extensive training in fields such as orthope-

dics, vascular, plastic and reconstructive surgery, emergency medicine, dermatology and radiology. Dr. Amoss was also on staff at the South Jersey Wound Care Center, the largest facility in South Jersey. His expertise and training has led him to be a Board Qualified Foot Surgeon by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. He is also a Diplomat American Board of Podiatric Medicine as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Dr. Amoss is currently on staff at Community Medical Center in Toms River and the Manchester Surgery Center, where he performs inpatient and outpatient surgery. He is also a member of the New Jersey Podiatric Medical Society and American Podiatric Medical Association. The impressive qualifications at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists are not limited to Dr. Amoss. Those on his staff are all Certified Podiatric Medical Assistants through the American Society of Podiatric Medical Assistants. Dr. Amoss and his team of professionals treat all of the common foot ailments including hammertoes, bunions, athletes’ foot, ingrown nails and heel pain. “We treat all ages and everything from the knee down,”

said Dr. Amoss, including P.A.D., or peripheral arterial disease, a common circulatory problem which narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow, causing symptoms such as leg pain when walking. This condition can also reduce blood flow to your heart and brain, as well as your legs. Treatment for Achilles tendon, ankle instability, ankle sprains and sports injuries of the ankle and foot are also addressed. The new facility also offers on-site surgery, X-rays and biopsies, often finding skin cancer that others may have missed. “With diabetes being on the rise, proper foot care for those with diabetes is a major concern,” continued

Dr. Amoss. “With a diabetic foot, a small wound can be slow to heal, lead to infection and sometimes severe consequences including amputation. However, at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, surgery is always a last resort.” Although prestigious qualifications are always important when choosing a physician, impressive qualifications in the compassion department are of equal importance. From the pleasant voice that answers your call to the smile that greets you as you walk through the door of Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, there is a genuine feeling of caring, concern and compassion. You are never just a number at Advanced Foot & Ankle. Dr. Amoss and his dedicated team all agree that the most important and best part of their job is making a positive impact

on people’s lives. In short, their mission is “Making people feel better,” said Podiatric Assistant Kristen Valentino. All of your foot care needs are taken care of at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, which also offers a large and stylish selection and expert fitting of orthopedic and diabetic shoes and sandals. They even carry specially formulated nail polish for those suffering from fungal infections. Extras and details such as these are what makes Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists stand out from the rest. Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists PC is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call 732-350-0100 or visit them online at AdvFootandAnkle.com.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Trend Report: Retro Appetizer Proves Everything Old Is New Again By Wolfgang Puck

It always interests me to hear people talk about the latest food trends. While my team of chefs and I do keep our eyes, ears and mouths open for exciting new things, I also try to remember the truth to be found in the word “trend” itself. It comes from an old German word meaning “to turn or revolve,” which reminds us that trends are cyclical. So not only will what is new today become old tomorrow, but also old things can suddenly seem new and exciting again. I see that phenomenon happening with many of my most popular dishes, from chicken potpies to goulash to butterscotch pudding. And it certainly is true of a recipe I’d like to share for clams casino. This recipe for fresh clams that are first steamed and then baked on the half-shell with a flavorful filling originated 99 years ago in a Rhode Island restaurant called the Little Casino. Its popularity quickly spread, especially to family-style Italian restaurants. Today, I see clams casino booming again, particularly paired with the retro cocktails that have become so popular. As my description of clams casino’s basics may suggest, the recipe offers lots of room for interpretation. My own version aims to provide an exciting, well-rounded combination of tastes, aromas, textures and colors to complement the fresh clams you’ll find in markets now through winter and spring. The clams themselves, of course, are the start. I like to use the Littleneck or Cherrystone varieties, which I buy fresh from reputable seafood shops or departments. Make sure the shellfish are closed and smell fresh, and keep them loosely covered and well-chilled in the refrigerator before cooking the day you buy them. Scrub them thoroughly under cold running water before cooking. I first steam the clams open with white wine and vermouth, which add wonderful flavor to the shellfish and the juices they give off. (Discard any that don’t open.) Once they’ve cooled a bit, I remove the top shells, loosen the bottom meat with a teaspoon, and nestle the half-shells with the meat on a bed of coarse kosher salt in a baking tray. My filling combines crispy bacon with sauteed, diced shallot and bell pepper, some of the clam cooking juices, coarse breadcrumbs, freshly grated Parmesan, a dash of Basque Espelette pepper or cayenne, and lots of fresh herbs. As the final step, I bake the clams in a hot oven just until the filling forms a deep golden-brown crust. Serve the dish with your favorite cocktails or a glass of crisp, cold white wine. You and your guests will feel wonderfully retro - and right on the cutting edge of a hot culinary trend!

CLAMS CASINO Serves 4

1/2 cup (125 mL) dry white wine 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry vermouth 1 sprig fresh oregano Pinch crushed red pepper flakes 20 fresh clams, such as Littleneck or Cherrystone, scrubbed clean under cold running water 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 slices applewood-smoked bacon 1/2 cup (125 mL) finely chopped shallots 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1/2 cup (125 mL) finely diced red bell pepper(s) Pinch Espelette pepper or cayenne pepper 3/4 to 1 cup (185 to 250 mL) coarse dry breadcrumbs, such as panko 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 to 125 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh herbs such as Italian parsley, chives and tarragon, plus extra for garnish Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 large lemon, cut into 6 wedges In a large pot, combine the wine, vermouth, oregano and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the clams. Cover and cook until the clams open, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Uncover and leave to cool. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and saute until crisp. With a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Pour off some of the fat, leaving a thin, even coating in the skillet. Add the shallots and butter and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the bell pepper and saute briefly. Add 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup (125 mL to 185 mL) of the clam cooking juices to the skillet. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the bacon. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Stir in the Espelette pepper or cayenne, most of the breadcrumbs and Parmesan, the chopped herbs, 1 to 2 tablespoons more olive oil, and salt and pepper, adding more of the crumbs, Parmesan, and oil to achieve a light yet firm and moist consistency. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a 1/4inch (6-mm) layer of kosher salt. One clam at a time, twist off and discard the top shells. With a teaspoon, detach the meat from the bottom shell. With the spoon, mound and pack the filling over the clam meat in each shell half. Nestle in the salt. Position a rack at the top of the oven and preheat to 500 F. Bake the clams until the filling is heated through, crisp, and golden-brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Garnish with lemon wedges, sprinkle herbs over the clams and serve. For a more impressive presentation, spread a 1/4-inch (6-mm) layer of kosher salt on a serving platter large enough to hold all the clams. Then carefully nestle the clams in the salt before garnishing with the lemon wedges and herbs.
