By Catherine Galioto LACEY – Marking four decades in its spot at 10 East Lacey Road, the Lacey Branch of the Ocean County Library observes October 8 as a day for “40 Years of Wonder.” It’s the Lacey branch’s 40th anniversary, and the library staff, patrons and community are celebrating. “Branch staff and The Friends of the Lacey Library are looking forward to celebrating ‘40 Years of Wonder’ with the community,” said Branch Manager Nancy Voitko. Library public relations staffer Salvatore Ottaviano explained the Lacey Branch
moved to its current home from the building that the Lacey Historical Society is now in. “The library in Lacey Township officially became The Ocean County Library’s Lacey Branch when it moved from the Historical Society building into a former post office building next door (on Route 9) and opened in 1976,” Ottaviano said. The new building was a capital project that expanded the size and offerings of Lacey’s branch and gave it its own standalone building for hosting its collection and special events.

Legislators Angry Over Grounding Of Medevac Chopper Serving South Jersey
By Daniel Nee OCEAN COUNTY – A group of Ocean County legislators say residents in the southern half of the state are being short-changed – and possibly put at a safety risk – due to the grounding of one of two medevac helicopters funded through tax surcharges. The New Jersey State Police operated the NorthSTAR and (Chopper - See Page 7)

Citing Priest Retirements, Diocese Explores Sharing Between Churches
By Courtney McCann A 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 (Churches - See Page 15)

at the September 22 Township Committee meeting. The amount was not to exceed $625,000. After the meeting, Business Administrator Veronica Laureigh said that the grant has been approved from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority as part of the Super Storm Sandy Recovery Fund. The total cost of renovating the park is estimated at $1,239,196.75. “The entire park was devastated,” said Director Of Public Works Casey Parker. “The tot lot was uprooted. The gazebo was found a quarter of a mile away in someone’s back yard.” The stone from the edge of the park had been moved up to 40 feet. The area itself still shows signs of Sandy. Throughout the neighborhood, there are still houses that look like they have not been touched since the 2012 storm. There
are some vacant lots, where it appears a house once stood. Some of the homes have been elevated to Federal Emergency Management Agency guidelines. The park site juts out into the Barnegat Bay. The wind has no barrier and waves lap up against the rock. Right now, it is little more than a parking lot. A few people, and a lot of shore birds, come here to look out at the water, but the site has no playground and a few thin walkways and benches But it won’t stay that way long. Township officials want it back to its old condition, if not better. There will be a new entrance driveway made from a porous paving located at the same spot as the old driveway on Beach Boulevard, Parker said. Among the plans: a 1,960 square foot, 32-foot diameter two-tier gazebo structure. There will be two playgrounds. One will be designed for kids ages 2-5. The other will
be for kids 5-12. The swings sets will be for infants, children up to 12, and children with disabilities. Flanked on each side of the tot lot will be exercise equipment, such as a stationary bike, chest press and a rowing machine. These 14 pieces would be similar to the ones found at other places in town, such as Gille Park. There will be an observation area to look out over the bay. A 6 foot paved walking path, with benches dotting the walkway, is also planned. Landscaping with also be upgraded with a variety of trees, bushes and grasses. When asked what kind of fertilizer would be used on that area, since runoff into the bay is inevitable, Parker said “If we use fertilizer, it will be organic.” As the council discussed its plans at a recent meeting, local politician Barry Bendar during public comment expressed concern
that the gabion cages would not be enough to withstand a storm of the magnitude of Sandy. Gabion cages are a series of interlocking metal wires. Parker said that the cages are poly-coated to prolong their life. “They encapsulate the stones and control them so the rocks they don’t get taken by high-energy storm into people’s homes. The primary emphasis is to protect the shoreline.” Essentially, it would join all the rock into one contiguous line so there would be no weak points. It would also be 4 feet above mean sea level. Township officials hope to break ground in October. The contractor will do as much as they can over the winter, and then pick up again in the spring. The ideal situation would be a ribbon cutting before Memorial Day. It would be about four and a half years since the storm. It took that long, Parker said, to go through the approval process and to get the necessary environmental permits.
Senior Crimes/Bias Unit Available For Lectures
OCEAN COUNTY – The Bias Crime Unit, Senior Scam Task Force and the Ocean County Human Relations Commission are part of the Special Investigations Bureau. The Senior Scam Task Force was formed in 2003 to serve Ocean County’s large senior population. With one third of the population within Ocean County 60 years of age or older, the Task Force works to protect Ocean County seniors by proactively educating and raising senior awareness of unscrupulous predators. Task Force mem-
bers are charged with investigating and prosecuting those who prey upon seniors by way of Internet, mailing scams and other illegal activities. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office serves as the coordinator of the Senior Scam Task Force. Task force members include all local, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies, the Ocean County Office of Senior Services, Ocean County Adult Protective Services, Ocean County Division of Consumer Affairs, Ocean County Board
of Health, Ocean County Surrogates Office, Ocean-Monmouth Legal Services, Elder Law section of the Ocean County Bar Association, NJ State Office of the Ombudsman, NJ State Department of Health and Senior Services, NJ Office of the Public Advocate, all Banking and Financial Institutions and any senior citizen organization/agencies dedicated to protecting senior citizens from opportunist criminals. The task force shares information amongst its members, the senior population and var-
ious civic and/or community organizations, as these types of crimes have no jurisdictional boundaries. The task force conducts annual conferences, seminars and training sessions to provide information about crimes that may be perpetrated against the senior population by virtue of their age. For information or to schedule a lecture, please contact Detective James Conroy at 732-929-2027 or by email at Jconroy@co.ocean.nj.us.

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.

L������ T� T�� E����� Marines Deserve Mention In the publication of your paper on September 17, “A New Park With A Dedicated Purpose,” your article mentioned all groups and organizations that participated in the dedication with the exception of one that played the most important part in it.

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. David Pringle Clean Water Action NJ Campaign Director

SouthSTAR helicopters for decades, with the southern flights beginning in 1988. But earlier this year, SouthSTAR was grounded after a regional hospital chain decided against applying for a grant that would fund its staffing. Both helicopters are funded through a $4 surcharge on vehicle registrations, however Sen. Chris Connors and his Assembly colleagues DiAne Gove and Brian Rumpf, stated in a joint letter to New Jersey Department of Health Commissioner Cathleen D. Bennett, that while NorthSTAR continues to operate, South Jersey residents are paying for a helicopter they can no longer use. The NorthSTAR helicopter is staffed by University Health System in Newark. “There is a compelling argument that the SouthSTAR service is more critically needed in South Jersey given South Jersey’s more rural geography,” the trio of legislators wrote. “Helicopter transport may be in greater demand for persons requiring emergency medical care on account of the greater distances to medical facilities as compared to the northern part of the state which is more urbanized.” Officials from Virtua, which operates several hospitals in southwestern New Jersey, previously have said they decided against applying for the grant to staff SouthSTAR because of a proliferation of private medevac helicopters that are now serving the southern portion of the state. A new state law, they have said, directs the nearest he-
The Southern Ocean Times, October 8, 2016, Page 7 licopter to respond to an emergency, which reduced SouthSTAR’s flights from about 75 per month to 20 per month. In Ocean County, many of the medevac flights are now flown MONOC One, a private medevac helicopter based at Ocean County Airport in Berkeley Township. But despite the fact that private helicopters have picked up a portion of the flights which used to go to SouthSTAR, there is still a gap, the legislators said. “To the extent that our constituency is being underserved and treated disparately, we are, accordingly, calling on the state to reinstate the SouthSTAR service and thereby filling the existing gap in emergency medical helicopter services for South Jersey residents,” the letter stated. “Reinstating this service would be consistent with the Department’s commitment to ensuring that all residents, regardless of where they live in the state, have access to critical medical services.” SouthSTAR would generally transport patients to either AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City or Cooper Medical Center in Camden, the two primary trauma centers in the southern half of the state. It would also fly to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. “Justifiably, our constituents take issue with not only the loss of service, but by the continuance of a state-imposed surcharge on motor vehicle registrations that is dedicated to this service to which they are no longer entitled to simply due to living in the southern part of the state,” the letter said.

Bridge Walk MANAHAWKIN – The seventh annual Bridge Walk took place September 24. In coordination with the Jetty Rock Foundation the Proceeds from the Bridge Walk goes back to all surrounding school districts. At Southern Regional this is received in the form of scholarships to graduating seniors who have served as coordinators of the event through the Interact Club. This year 50 student volunteers from the interact club served during the registration at the Jetty Flagship store on September 23, with on-site registration, walker guides, water stations, and set-up and clean-up crews. Every year the Bridge Walk committee
chooses a local “Hero” who stands out for the selfless dedication to their community. This year the honoree was Kerry Beetel who has taught at Southern Regional for 12 years, nine of which he has been a teacher in the Autism Program. He has previously been recognized by the LBI Rotary as a Paul Harris Fellow award winner for his outstanding service to the community. Beetel started his very own nonprofit organization Piece of The Puzzle Inc. Through his tireless efforts the foundation has awarded over $50,000 of goods and services to local school districts who educate students with Autism.
Dune Grass Available
BEACH HAVEN – Dune grass is available now at 815 N. Atlantic Ave. Ideally plant dune grass after a rain so the sand will be wet and the holes you make won’t cave in. Make sure grass roots are wet before they are planted. Just hose them down. Start at the furthest point you are planting and work back toward the street. Use a planting stick (any pointy stick will do, like an umbrella pole) and make a hole 8-10 inches deep. Only 4 to 6 inches need to be sticking out
of the sand. Put in two grass culms in a hole. Pack the sand around the grass so it can’t blow out of the hole. Continue planting every 8-12 inches, 2 more culms. Stagger plants. No neat rows. Planting sticks are also available. But return when finished. If you work in groups of three and one person makes the holes, one person puts in grass and tamps the sand and one person keeps bringing the wet grass to be planted.

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.”
Inaugural Fish And Chips Dinner MANAHAWKIN – The Boy Scouts of America Pack 66 of Manahawkin will hold an inaugural fish and chips dinner on October 21 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Saint Mary’s Parish Center, 100 Bishop Ln.

Barnegat Resident Named Women’s Advocate Of The Year
BARNEGAT – Bahiyyah Abdullah has been involved with girl scouting for more than 34 years whether as a volunteer or in her current position of chief mission officer for the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore. “She is someone who has had a positive effect on the lives of hundreds if not thousands of girls and women in Monmouth and Ocean counties,” said Ocean County
Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Advisory Commission on the Status of Women. “Over more than three decades, Bahiyyah has worked to instill courage, confidence and character in young women through her work with scouting. “Whether it is her work with scouting or her advocacy in so many other areas, she is
a wonderful choice of Women’s Advocate of the Year by the Ocean County Advisory Commission on the Status of Women,” Haines said. Abdullah, a resident of Barnegat Township, will be honored by the Women’s Commission during the 2016 Women’s Advocate of the Year breakfast at 8:30 a.m. on September 24 at Days Hotel.

Haines noted that the 2016 honoree embodies the mission of the Women’s Commission which includes advocating for the advancement of women in society by acting as a liaison to many community organizations, women’s groups and social services agencies. In addition to her work with the Girl Scouts, Abdullah also advocates on behalf of civil rights, children and arts and history. She actively volunteers with many national, state, regional and local organizations that support these efforts and currently serves as President of the Toms River Area Branch of the NAACP; Commissioner for the New Jersey State Martin Luther King Jr. Commission; Vice Chair of the Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission; Immediate Past President for the North Jersey Shore Chapter of the Continental Societies, Inc. (local & national service); President of the New Jersey Circle-Lets, Inc. and Associate/ Lifetime Member of the Jersey Shore Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. She also serves on the Board of Directors of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Ocean County, and the Central Regional Network Committee of the American Conference on Diversity. In a recent interview in the Ocean County Cultural and Heritage Commission publication “Out and About,” Abdullah noted the humanitarian drive stems from her gratitude toward those who helped her along her path and from a natural belief in giving back. “We all have an obligation to give back,” said Abdullah, who is the mother of three and grandmother of five. Abdullah has been honored by a host of organizations and agencies for her advocacy work and her supporting contributions. She has been recognized with the Barnegat Township Volunteer of The Year Award; the Humanitarian Award from the National Conference of Community Justice (NCCJ); the Constance K. Weaver Award from the United Way of Ocean County; the Whitney M. Young Award from the Jersey Shore Boy Scout Council; the President’s Award from the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore; the President’s Award from the New Jersey State Conference of the NAACP; the Community Services Award from the Toms River NAACP and the Outstanding Women’s History Award from the Ocean County/ Lakewood NAACP. She also has been honored by the Alliance for Women in History, the Ocean County Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc., Women of Purpose, Inc., and was the 2009 Ocean County Women’s Hall of Fame Inductee by Soroptomist International of Toms River. Abdullah holds a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Political Science and Criminal Justice from Jersey City State College. She is the widow of Civil Rights and Head Start advocate, Saleem Abdullah. “The Women’s Commission Advocate of the Year Award celebrates the achievements and advancements that have been made in programs and services for women,” Haines said. “Bahiyyah’s story is one of dedication and commitment to improving the lives of women and their families.”

branch throughout the decades has kept up with the times, adding sections for music CDs, DVD and Blue-Ray movies, and specialized services for children, tweens and teens as well as computer skills and special events. As part of the anniversary event, a wall display featuring archive photos of the branch and a timeline of the branch’s history will be presented. The branch’s special programs for its October 8 anniversary feature a 9:30 a.m. dedication ceremony in the Friends Garden
The Southern Ocean Times, October 8, 2016, Page 15 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. “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 decisions 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.”
and complimentary Starbucks coffee, Mr. Scott the Music Man’s his fun and interactive children’s show at 10 a.m. The October 8 event is meant to create merriment and celebration but also picked a focus around a piece of classic literature: The anniversary will have an Alice in Wonderland theme along with music and magic. “A classic literary theme was picked as the Lacey branch is a classic too. There’s a lot of ‘wonder’ that happens here every day as an integral part of the community.” said Voitko. The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party Table, sponsored by the Friends of the Lacey Library, will be set up for attendees to enjoy at 11
a.m. The Amazing V will entertain the crowd at 12 p.m. with his magic and comedy show for children. Sparks, the dragon mascot of the Ocean County Library is at 1 p.m. for a “Meet and Greet” with children, followed by a 2 p.m. concert with rock and roll band White Rabbit, sponsored by the Friends of the Lacey Library. At 3 p.m., Jenni Cakes will unveil an anniversary cake. “The Friends have been so gracious and are making a lot of this possible.” said Voitko. As the major fundraising support group for the branch, the Friends has helped the library branch to grow throughout the years,
dedicating statues, landscaping and helping to fund events. Ottaviano pulled an old newspaper article about the grand opening of the branch, from the September 23, 1976 edition of the Lacey Beacon. The accompanying photo showcases local and library officials at the time, including Lacey Mayor Edward Scanlon, and Albert Mayer, Schuyler Mott and Marie Cranmer of the Ocean County Library, posing for a ribbon cutting in the main entrance of the branch. For information about the anniversary call the Lacey Branch at 609-693-8566 or visit theoceancountylibrary.org.

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

Springsteen Fans Raise Funds For Food Bank
FR EEHOLD – New Jer 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.
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.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
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.

Dear Joel
Miranda Rays
By Joel Markel
By The Bay At Key Harbor Marina
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
Pasta – Steaks – Seafood 2 Point Road Waretown, NJ 08758 609.242.4200 mirandaraysbythebay.webs.com
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.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week ofOctober 8 - October 14 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Curb your enthusiasm. You think on your feet, but could be swept away by someone else’s love of adventure. Partners or companions may be prone to taking risks or overdoing something in the week to come. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Seek those who are cheerful are charming. Social activities and finding fun things to share with a congenial companion might become a major focus. You may grow closer to the ones you love as the week unfolds. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Listen and learn. You are in the process of developing better ways to receive useful feedback. The method by which you form opinions may shift in the week ahead as you become more aware of more enriching ideas. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your friends may start the trends. In order to keep up with your social circle you might gravitate toward the latest fashions or the most popular music. In the week ahead control your finances and avoid temptations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Wave the shiny objects. Distract people from your deficits by showing off your assets in the week ahead. If you act quickly you can create lasting improvements in your work environment or begin a new set of healthy habits. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): End the urge that edges toward extravagance. In the week to come you might be overly enthusiastic about purchases and spend more than you should. Tighten up the purse strings and steer clear of roulette wheels.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you show how bright you are you can light the way for others. You can set a good example by adhering to the finest principles. This week your good judgment may be brought into play when people ask you for advice. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your forbearance with family may be finite. As this week unfolds there could be misunderstandings with a family member because you are blind to the logic of someone’s ideas. Hold off on starting home improvements. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your past experiences have equipped you with well-tailored skills that are appropriate for building a better future. Dig into your bag of tricks in the week ahead to overcome small problems and annoyances. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The more the merrier is your motto. In the week to come your desires are fueled by an eagerness that almost seems like a renewable resource. You are so optimistic that you might ignore a few crucial details. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pursue enrichment without extra embellishments. As this week unfolds you may strengthen your financial position with a view towards long term growth. Grow closer to a loved one by discussing shared philosophies. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may milk the cow until it is dry. If you do be sure the optics are good because someone may report you for unkindness to animals. In the week ahead fight off an urge to overspend or to go to extremes of behavior.

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.
