Little Leaguers Honored
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The Township Council celebrated the hard work of three Little League teams. “This level of success is such a rare achievement given the many obstacles these teams must face along the way,” said Jon Bentevigna, president of the Berkeley Little League. “It demonstrates that these young players embody Little League’s core values of character, courage, and loyalty.” He went on to credit the parents and coaches for their time and dedication in helping the younger generation to prosper. The 8-year-old All-Stars, led by manager Tom Snyder, won the tournament
hosted by Toms River, he said. They had a 4-1 record, in which they outscored their opponents 31-13. The 9-year-old All-Stars, led by manager Chris Leiswski, won all five games of their tournament hosted by Barnegat. They outscored their opponents 53-14, even besting their rival Holbrook Little League 3-2. The 13 and 14-year-old players were the Junior Division team, the Michigan Wolverines. With manager Todd Sajweicz, they won the District 18 season championship 15-0. The All-Star team then advanced to the sectionals. They lost to Howell (Honored - See Page 4)

Anglers:
under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976. That is the primary federal law regulating marine fishing in federal waters. The law was overhauled in 1996 and again in 2007, and is up for reauthorization. Some saltwater anglers support the Modernizing Recreational Fisheries Management Act of 2017, introduced back in April. The sponsors say Magnuson has created unnecessary restrictions and seeks to have the fisheries management overhauled and modernized. The ASMFC dates back to the 1940s and comprises three commissioners from each state: Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. This commission also deals in fishery management. NOAA Fisheries, part of the Federal Commerce Department, monitors the fishing of waters, and according to its mission statement, under the authority of Magnuson, works with the regional fishery councils “to assess and predict the status of fish stocks, set catch limits, ensure compliance with fisheries regulations, and reduce bycatch.” Locally, the NJDEP’s Division of Fish and Wildlife holds to ASMFC seasons and limits, which are approved by the Marine Fisheries Council each March. Council chairman Dick Herb said New Jersey was the fi rst state ever to challenge the ASMFC and win a reversal, specifically about fluke. A coordinated effort by all fishermen—commercial, recreational, private—can pressure those decision-making bodies to adopt more favorable regulations for New Jersey. “At least we broke that mold,” Herb said about the decision reversal. “We’ve got to build on it. We can’t just say, ‘Hey, we won. Now we’re going home.’” In the meantime, audience members called for an organized, formal protest of the Dec. 11-14 joint meeting of the MAFMC and ASMFC in Annapolis. It’s at that meeting when recreational harvest limits for 2018 will be proposed and adopted. Hartley has offered to arrange a charter bus so fi shermen will make the trip to Maryland. A show in numbers may help sway things in New Jersey’s favor. A Facebook group, NJFFFR New Jersey Fishermen Fight For Fishermen’s Rights, has more information about the planned trip.
Pride:
In a ring around the central area were booths and tents set up. Local nonprofits and businesses sold goods and made crafts with kids. Vendors sold all kinds of grilled and fried food, as well as baked goods. Most of them also sold drinks. Pride Day lasted well into the night. Doo wop group Sounds of the Street and The Infernos performed. The evening was capped with fi reworks.
Continued From Page 1 Marine Fisheries Council held its regular Sept. 7 meeting. Although the first hour was filled with its usual reports and comments, the Council’s second hour saw passionate arguments and discussion from Council and audience members about what to do with the ever-shortening fishing season and its negative impact on commercial fishermen throughout the state and beyond. Jim Hutchinson Jr.’s Sept. 8 article at TheFisherman.com quoted boat captain Adam Nowalsky that cuts felt in fish seasons and quotas for 2017 will be mild compared to what’s expected for 2018, based on the early returns from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries surveys. Those quotas and seasons are set annually. Captain Victor Hartley III of Miss Ocean City explained to Jersey Shore Online that although regulations dictate what size fish may be kept, anglers must count all fish caught toward quotas. “We don’t have enough quotas is one issue, and the other issue is we don’t have enough days,” Hartley explained. “We don’t have the time to catch anything.” The quotas and seasons were cut because the powers-that-be determined that New Jersey overfished in previous years. Three fish are most caught in the state: flounder, sea bass and scup. The cuts are hurting charter boats’ and saltwater anglers’ bottom lines, the anglers said. Ed Yates, president of United Boatman of NJ, told Council he and his members need black sea bass season opened on an emergency basis, as this year’s season was cut short. Although some fisherman have permits to fish in federal waters, those fish cannot be landed in New Jersey. “This has led to two things: unemployment for not only my crew, people at our dock, and now I’m getting people telling me that they’re going to lose their help,” Yates said. “So now we’re really in a dilemma. We’re sending people to the unemployment office early because of this.” He added that the fishermen of New Jersey are “fed up” with the “nonsense” of the Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Council and Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, the bodies that determine recreational harvest limits. The MAFMC was created as one of eight regional fishery management councils
Continued From Page 1 took up the middle of the event. The stage was set for performances by children’s performer Yosi, the Central Regional Marching Band, and Sketchy Medicine Band. Being close to Sept. 11, there was also a ceremony remembering those who were lost.

Planner:
Continued From Page 1 claimed that they are a separate entity from Berkeley, geographically and in other ways. They want to leave town and ostensibly join Seaside Park. Their attorney, Joseph Michelini, questioned township planner Stanley Slatechka, an employee of T&M Associates. However, it was that status that Michelini questioned. How could he be the township’s planner, and the planner for the planning board, and give testimony to the planning board during a hearing? “Is your role different as a planner for the township as opposed to a planner for the board?” Michelini asked. “No,” Slatechka replied. “That’s not unusual in towns.” Michelini reworded his questions to dig deeper into the situation. Gregory McGuckin, the planning board’s attorney, said he was “beating a dead horse.” “I believe it’s a conf lict of interest,” Michelini said. “It’s absolutely wrong for your planner to testify on behalf of the township.” He explained that the planner who sat in place of Slatechka, while Slatechka was giving testimony, would never cross-examine his co-worker. “The planning board is an agency of the township,” Slatech ka said. “I’m providing the board with advice and perspective independent of the township.” Michelini wanted to know who directed Slatechka to testify before the board. “I was directed initially by the town-
ship,” he said. “My presentation was as a planner for the board.” He did not say if there was someone specifically in the township who directed him. Planning board chairman Bob Winward stepped in to ask Michelini to question Slatechka about planning issues, rather than legal issues, since he is not a legal expert. Michelini then discussed how several portions of Berkeley had been de-annexed in the past, including: Ocean Gate, Pine Beach, South Toms River, Beachwood, Seaside Heights and Seaside Park. He also questioned Slatechka about some previous testimony he had given, in which he explained that there are several towns throughout New Jersey that have satellite areas not geographically connected to the main portion. He asked how many of them have to travel through “six or seven” towns to get there. None of them are 16 miles from the center to the island. McGuckin challenged Michelini on how he got to “six or seven” towns. Michelini said that it’s accurate because people can drive through Seaside Park, Seaside Heights, the Pelican Island section of Berkeley and Toms River, mainland Toms River, South Toms River and Beachwood. He also included Island Heights and Pine Beach since they own parts of Route 37 and Route 9, respectively, which would have to be traveled through. McGuckin said it doesn’t really count, and it would be easier to take the Garden State Parkway.

Letters To The Editor Nothing Changed In Central Ruling On behalf of the Central Regional School District and at the request of the Board of Education, I am writing to clarify some misunderstandings that have resulted f rom the Asbury Park Press article entitled “Court: Seaside Park kids can keep going to Toms River schools.” (August 11, 2017). In short, the court’s ruling clarified the existing practice that Seaside Park students ONLY in grades K-6 students have the option of attending either the Toms River Regional School District or the Lavallette Elementary School District. In addition, those students also have the option of applying as a School Choice student to attend the Hugh J. Boyd Jr. Elementary School in Seaside Heights. The Central Regional School District, of which Seaside Park has been and remains a par t of, is a limited purpose regional school district for grades 7-12. Accord i ngly, t he Central Regional School District continues to be the assigned public school dist r ict for st udents in grades 7-12 that reside in Seaside Park.

Letters To but The Editor that the main issues recreation is dangerous. I Let Brick Voices Be Heard
At a recent Council meeting, the issue was brought up that some areas in town do not have a representative on the council. In Brick, the Council is made up of seven members who are elected “at-large” or f rom any geog raphical area in town. There are some tow nsh ips where they are voted “by ward” or voting district. This can be especially challenging when making decisions for the town because each area has different needs. Maple Leaf has a different set of issues than Princeton Ave. would, and both have different needs than Drum Point would. How can each of these areas be treated fairly in the decision-making process of the Council? Why don’t we reshape the council to include 4 ‘By-ward’ Council people and 3 ‘at-large’? The idea seems simple enough, but how will it work? The first step is to divide the town into 4 wards. Each ward will elect one council person from that ward. The other 3 members of the Council can be from any part of town. There are many ways this can be done. Frequent the local coffee or pizza shops. Get a volu nteer team together and do a se r v ice proje ct once a quarter. Get the people in the community together for a block party or other event. Make yourself someone that the people can go to, to get things done. If I was not r unning for office, I would probably not know who the members of council were. I would n’t k now them if they walked right past me at a store. The idea here would be that people know you, and know they have an advocate on the Township Council. T he pu r p o s e b eh i nd this is NOT that each and ever y issue that comes up will be brought up,
of the area are addressed a nd p e ople h ave mor e of a say in the decisions that will affect them. It will also help disseminate i n for mat ion more effectively and be one way that the township can be more transparent with the people of Brick. The four “by-ward” members will have more insight into the needs of their area, and the other three will be able to bring an “overall” view to the Council. These “at-large” will also help to keep a check on the “byward” so a person does not get elected and stay in the position for life. More det ails w ill be worked out after election and after hearing more feedback from the people of Brick, but before this would be put into place. To implement this, it would take about two years. Rob Canfield Candidate for Mayor
Abolishing Basketball Hoops Is A Mistake The Jackson Township Council is proposing an ordinance that would prohibit one from having a basketball hoop in front of his house and those in violation would be subject to a fi ne of $2,000 or possible imprisonment. While there may be a need to update laws to fit with the current form of government, it is a mistake to abolish the ability of having basketball hoops. T his will hu r t Jackson residents including our children. As one resident explained by the last Council meeting, “Playing ball and other outdoor activities is a healt hy a nd wonder f ul outlet for our youth.” In a time where drugs and obesity are so prevalent, this action would be wrong and tragic. Taking away a primary source of
am quite sure no one wants such responsibility. I urge our Town Council to reconsider this new ordinance that would be so harmful to our community. Moshe Heiman Jackson
It’s Time For Some Mutual Understanding W hy do people move and sell their homes? The amount of homes sold in Jackson over the last two years is astonishing and qu it e shock i ng. W h ile many were home to seniors looking to downsize or people who got offered much above market value there is another surprising factor to keep in mind. People do not like living in a town struck with strife fear and division. With hundreds of Orthodox families moving in yearly, people do not want to raise their children here any longer, and for many it’s not for what you may believe. It is not because the new neighbors are disrespectful, or rude, rather it is because of the division it has caused. Many people do not want to raise their children to hear negative things about their new neighbors. To open every Jackson Facebook page and to hear endless stories about ‘’the new neighbors’’ and their religious practices, all painted as if they are terrorists, is depressing and sad. The latest action by the Mayor to force every resident with a basketball hoop to remove it plays right into that hysteria. Instead of letting ever y Jewish practice to turn into WWIII maybe it is time for some mutual understanding and dialogue, for if it doesn’t happen soon there will be more young people leaving Jackson and the blame will forever be at this administration’s feet.

Bayville Volunteer First Aid Squad August Update
BAYVILLE – The Bayville Volunteer First Aid Squad was called upon during the month of August to respond to 120 calls for medical emergencies from the citizens of Berkeley Township, as well neighboring town’s residents. Of these calls, Bayville Volunteer First Aid answered 90, which included three CPR, eight motor vehicle accidents, three overdoses, five for abdominal pain, nine calls due to patients falling and requiring medical treatment, seven patients who had respiratory problems, three calls for unconscious patients, three seizures, seven patients who had cardiac emergencies and two times using the emergency service with Ocean County Radio Dispatchers. Another 40 calls involved patients who were either treated on scene or required transportation to the local hospital. Using mutual aid agreements, 30 calls were handled by other first aid squads. Bayville Volunteer First Aid also provided emergency medical service to the Wednesday night Veteran’s Park Concerts. The squad continues to still seek new members, drivers, ambulance attendants and
emergency medical technicians who will help us to reduce our calls being staff by other squads.

AmeriCorps New Jersey Watershed Ambassadors Program Wins “Adopt-a-Beach” Award
NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Clean Communities Council (NJCCC) has awarded the AmeriCorps New Jersey Watershed Ambassadors with the “Adopt-a-Beach” Award for their work to build a comprehensive water education program. Accepting the award on behalf of the AmeriCorps New Jersey Watershed Ambassadors was Program Manager Kathy Giordano. Since 2000, the New Jersey Watershed Ambassadors – an AmeriCorps program – has collaborated with the NJCCC to perform three main tasks: outreach, stream assessments and community engagement in watershed projects. Ambassadors take part in a year-long program beginning each September, encouraging residents to take more responsibility for protecting and nurturing water supplies. “The year of service helps people figure things out and meet others,” Giordano said. “It exposes them to different areas of watershed protection.” In addition, watershed ambassadors visit students in local schools to explain how human activities can affect water quality, as New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the nation.
This year, the watershed ambassadors partnered with the NJCCC to clean up Cape May Point Beach. More than 40 volunteers removed 29 bags of trash from 2.28 acres of beachfront. “When people find each other and collaborate on a project, that’s when the real work can be done,” Giordano said. “They create a legacy to be continued the following year and the year after that.” NJCCC Executive Director Sandy Huber often attends watershed ambassador meetings to promote the work of the statewide Clean Communities program. “The New Jersey Watershed Ambassadors are a terrific partner for us in the fight against litter,” Huber said. “We are proud to assist in their mission to nurture our critical water sources, and salute their ongoing commitment to the NJCCC.” The “Adopt-a-Beach” Award is presented to a community organization that has cleaned and maintained an area of public property for at least two years. NJCCC is a comprehensive, statewide litter-abatement program that has served New Jersey residents and visitors for more than 25 years. Learn more at njclean.org.

Create A Jersey-Friendly Yard With Expert Tips
By Sara Grillo TOMS RIVER – In a state with a reputation for being high maintenance, the least New Jerseyans can do is learn how to keep their gardens low-maintenance. Jersey-Friendly Yards, a statewide website created by the Barnegat Bay Partnership via a grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, is hosting “Bringing Nature Home to Your Jersey-Friendly Yard” on Saturday, October 14 at Ocean County College’s Gateway Building Lecture Hall from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Experts will provide tips on how to create a beautiful, healthy, low-maintenance and eco-friendly yard, and there will also be a native plant sale and eco-friendly exhibitors with plenty of information on how to start a budding Jersey-Friendly Yard. The day’s keynote speaker will be Doug Tallamy,
Professor of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware and author of Bringing Nature Home and The Living Landscape. The two books discuss how planting native species at home play a role in sustaining healthy communities. Other speakers at the event will address how to maintain healthy soil, reduce fertilizer and pesticide use, conserve water and offer good habitats for pollinators and other wildlife. For more information, or to register for the event, visit jerseyyards.org/workshop. There is a $35 registration fee to attend, which includes admission, refreshments and lunch. Sponsors of the eco-event include Native Plant Society of New Jersey, Pinelands Direct, Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, Ocean County Soil Conservation District, Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County and Barnegat Bay Partnership.
Walk/Run For Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation
SEASIDE PARK – A Hugh Claus Memorial Walk/Run to raise money for the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation is on September 24 at 2207 SW Central Ave. A 1-mile fun run starts at 9 a.m. and a 5K walk/run starts at 9:30 a.m. Same day registration begins at 7 a.m. Email Patty for more information at patty4tino@yahoo.com. Early online registration for the 5K run is $25 and for the walk or fun run is $15, and includes a t-shirt. Same day registration for the 5K run is $35 and for the walk is $25. Proceeds will benefit the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation for amyloidosis research and awareness. For more information, visit chipmiller.org. Special awards will be given to the top male and female finishers and children 12 and under. All registered 5K walkers and runners are invited to an after race party hosted by Bum Rogers Crab House.
Each year 3,000 cases of amyloidosis are diagnosed in the United States. Amyloidosis is generally a disease of middle-aged people and older, although the disease has been seen in individuals in their thirties. Men are more likely to be affected than women by a ratio of about 1.5:1. With early diagnosis, the outlook for patients with amyloidosis has shifted to hopeful in the last decade. The early diagnosis allows treatment to begin before the amyloid protein buildup in the body becomes too great to overcome. Without treatment, the outlook for patients with AL amyloidosis is not good, many passing away within 18 to 24 months after diagnosis. Early diagnosis is the key to managing the disease. Funds raised at events like this help researchers in their development of new ways to diagnose and treat this dreaded disease.

Ocean County Schedules Free Document Shredding Days
OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders is offering residents 22 different opportunities to get rid of their residential documents in a secure and safe way. “Ocean County’s Residential Document Shredding Program kicked off on April 8 at the Berkeley Township Recycling Center in Berkeley Township,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the county’s award-winning recycling program. “That is the first of 22 different dates for the popular program that is held throughout the County. We have added four more dates this year. “This program provides a great service to our residents by shredding personal documents and information that otherwise may wind up in regular trash,” Little said. “With identity theft on the rise, this offers security to our residents and also keeps all of this paper out of the Ocean County Landfill. It’s a win, win.” In 2016, a total of 102 tons or 204,000 pounds of documents were collected and shredded during the 18 collection dates. The amount collected is up 16,000 pounds. “Ocean County is a large county and we make every effort to make this program easily accessible to all our citizens,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “This program has been embraced by all of our residents who want to rid their homes of personal papers without worrying about them falling into the hands of people who may use it for the wrong reasons.” “This program was first started in 2008 and has grown in popularity,” Little said. The work is being performed by Autoshred of Toms River. Residents are not required to register for this free program and can bring six boxes or bags each day. The program is for all paper documents and paper forms. Paperclips and staples do not have to be removed. Little noted the shredding unit features an automatic feeding and dumping system, eliminating the need for human contact with a resident’s documents. Events will run their complete
scheduled time or until the truck is full. The truck capacity is 8,000 pounds. Little said that for residents who prefer to shred their documents at home, Ocean County offers drop-off boxes at both County recycling centers for shredded office papers. “Shredded office paper should not be placed with curbside recyclables and instead should be brought to the drop-off boxes at the county recycling centers,” Little said. “The shredded paper cannot be effectively sorted by the County’s recyclable materials processing facility. I encourage our residents to recycle it separately which allows us to produce a viable, marketable commodity.” Drop-off boxes can be accessed by Building 105 at the Ocean County Southern Recycling Center, 379 Haywood Road, Stafford Township or Building 68 at the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center at 601 New Hampshire Ave., Lakewood. Little also suggested residents contact their municipal recycling centers to learn whether there is a local drop-off box for shredded office papers. The following is a list of dates, times and locations for the Residential Document Shredding Program: September 23, Island Heights Public Works Garage, Lake and Laurel Aves., 9 to 11 a.m. September 23, Long Beach Township Public Works Garage, 7910 Long Beach Boulevard, Beach Haven Crest, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. September 30, Point Pleasant Beach Public Works Yard, 301 Cooks Road, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. October 7, Point Pleasant Municipal Building, 2233 Bridge Avenue, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. October 14, Manchester Township Public Works Yard, 1360 Route 70, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. October 21, Eaglewood Township Municipal Complex, 146 Division St., 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. October 28, Beachwood Municipal Complex, 1600 Pinewald Road, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information on the program, contact the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management at 732-506-5047.

Antique Automobile Show FeaturingThe Cameos
TOMS RIVER – It’ll be a flashback Saturday on September 23 at the Ocean County Vintage Automobile Club’s 12th Annual Antique Automobile Show, being held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Rose Garden Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 1579 Old Freehold Road. New Jersey’s favorite oldies group and 1950’s recording artist The Cameos will perform the music of the 50’s and 60’s starting at 1 p.m. The Cameos first hit the charts in 1959 with the song “Rock and Roll Arabian Nights” and have continued to keep the sound of the “oldies” alive, performing music that holds a

Craft vendors are needed for the event and should call Kevin Bassinder at 732-505-4477 or email KBActivities@aol. com with a subject line of Car Show or Craft Vendor.

How To Increase The Longevity Of Your Hearing Aid
Care for Seniors, Adults & Pediatrics • Skilled Nursing (RNs, LPNs) Adult & Pediatric Ventilator Care • Personal Care Home Health Aides • 24-Hour Live-In Aides Private Pay, Insurance, HMOs & Medicaid RN Supervision on ALL Levels of Care
Statistically, hearing-impaired patients replace their hearing aids about every four years. Additionally, during that four-year period, your hearing aid may have to go back to the manufacturer for repair at least three to five times … Why? The most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is wax build up in the receiver port. Those metal picks that your dispenser provides you with (for cleaning purposes) are problematic. In my opinion, you should clean your hearing aid with a soft toothbrush while holding the receiver port of your hearing aid down towards the floor (so the wax will not fall back into your hearing aid). The second most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is moisture build up, which can cause your hearing aid to work intermittently. In this case, a dry aid kit is very useful in removing moisture from your hearing instrument (particularly during the more humid summer months). A third reason for hearing aid malfunction is that most patients do not receive

routine follow-up services. In my own practice, patients return to the office at either three-month or six-month intervals for cleaning and adjustment of their instruments. Just like your car needs an oil change every 3,000 miles, your hearing aid needs to be checked at least twice a year by your hearing health care professional. In summary, if you follow these steps, you will increase the life of your hearing aid: 1. Clean your hearing aid every day with a soft toothbrush. 2. Open the battery door at night to prolong the life of your battery. 3. Ask your hearing health care professional for a dry aid kit to alleviate moisture build up in your hearing aid. 4. Schedule routine follow-up visits with your hearing health care professional at least two or three times per year. 5. Routinely have your ears cleaned or checked by either your family physician or ear, nose and throat doctor.

H eRe ’ s t o Y ouR H eAltH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
How To Prepare A First Aid Kit During Severe Weather By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. We just saw the devastation by Hurricane Harvey and then Monster Irma! It’s not just rain, wind and flooding that leads to a disaster, it’s also earthquakes, landslides and fires. You just never know when severe weather will strike, you never know when you’ll have to jump in your car and evacuate… or rush down into the basement for a tornado! It’s important to have a plan but I can’t say everything here in 500 words, so read the complete version which is 3 times longer (it’s posted on my website live right now): suzycohen.com In the meantime, this will get you started: 1. Medications - Keep a handwritten list in your wallet. Even better (if you have the time) is to stick the prescription label onto a piece of paper so all your dosing information is shown. I’d also keep the list on your smart phone. When the power goes out, pharmacies can’t access your medication profile on the computer anymore. Your list allows paramedics to give you the correct pills or shots. 2. Ziploc with Water - Fill a Ziploc bag about 75 percent full with some fresh water, then freeze it. Keep several frozen at all times. If you need to leave in a hurry grab them. While frozen, it can protect insulin, food or liquid antibiotics. As it melts, you’ll have pure water which you can drink in an emergency. 3. Portable Charger - Buy a portable cell phone charger (aka power bank) and a transistor radio, it can be hand-crank, battery operated, or even solar-powered. 4. Dishwasher Storage - Your dishwasher
is waterproof so if floods are anticipated, store photo albums and documents inside the dishwasher. When the water recedes, they should be perfect. 5. Loved One List - If a rescuer wants to call your loved one or spouse to assure them of your safety and rescue, having a handwritten “Loved One List” is invaluable. Let’s face it, nobody knows phone numbers by heart anymore. 6. Children - I lived in Florida for 35 years, and when the hurricanes barreled through, I always made sure that my kids were pleasantly distracted with puzzles, painting, beading or “camping” in the (safer) hallway. 7. Emergency kit - You can buy some very nice ones on Amazon or Costco, or you can create your own like this: DIY First Aid Kit • Analgesics like ibuprofen or acetaminophen • Hydrocortisone and antibiotic ointment • A little blanket and a pair of socks • Toothpaste/brushes and deodorant • Small salt shaker to replenish electrolytes • Spare undies if you’re evacuating to a shelter • Eyeglasses or contacts • A whistle to call for help • Spare keys to your house/car • A multi-purpose knife • Flashlights/batteries • N95 or N100 mask • Ziplock bags and toilet paper 8. Map - If you have to drive because of an immediate evacuation, and you can’t use GPS in your car, or your smart phone, then an actual map is a blessing. Just get in the car and drive to safety!

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Indecisive Wife
Dear Joel, My wife Susan can’t ever make up her mind. If I ask, “Would you like to go out for dinner?” she says, “If you want to.” If I ask “Chinese or Italian?” she says “Oh, it doesn’t matter” Hot coffee or iced? Chocolate or vanilla? Paper or plastic? I think you get the picture. It’s maddening. Why does she do this and how can I get her to make a decision… any decision? Bob, Toms River Dear Bob, It’s been my experience that people who have a hard time with decisions do it for two main reasons. Either they are afraid to face the consequences of their choice (everyone hated the movie you picked) or they are real pleasers. They would rather forfeit their preferences to keep you or the group happy. Which is she? If she lacks confidence then make if fun. Say, “Tuesday is Susan day. Whatever Su-
san picks will b e t he r ig ht choice,” a nd make her stick to it. The pleaser type may require a little acting, because they REALLY want you to be happy. Show them that even if their selection was a dud, you enjoyed trying something new, and that you’re looking forward to doing it again. And end the day with a sweet word. There is a third group that truly doesn’t care about anything, but I’m sure that’s not Susan. Remind Susan we all make hundreds of choices a week, and no one ever gets them all right. You picked Susan and her picks will be fine with you. 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

You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment, even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization. Further, it is important to note another critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit was upheld by the
New Jersey Appellate Christopher R. Shea Esq. Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

–Photo courtesy Six Flags Great Adventure The Cyborg Cyber Spin is scheduled for a spring 2018 debut. By Sara Grillo JACKSON – Although there will be a bit of a wait until its debut, Six Flags Great Adventure will be revealing a new thrill ride in spring 2018 themed to DC super hero Cyborg, a half human, half machine superhero for the modern age known not only for his super strength, but also for his genius-level intellect, advanced technology, instant weaponry and teleportation. Featuring a unique triple box design that moves like a gyroscope, Cyborg Cyber Spin will take riders on a seven-story high, anti-gravity thrill trip as they spin through the air continuously. “Six Flags leads the industry in thrill ride innovation; it is part of our DNA,” said Park President Neal Thurman. “Six Flags Great Adventure is home to an unparalleled collection of record-breaking attractions and we are excited to be adding Cyborg Cyber Spin, the first of its kind in North America. Like the super hero Cyborg of the Justice League, this futuristic, hi-tech ride will be unlike anything our guests have ever seen or experienced before and it is the perfect new thrill ride to expand our new Metropolis section.” Thrill seekers will be seated 24 across with shoulder harnesses as they experience
the exhilarating combination of negative and positive gravitational forces that come with the ride’s three separate axes simultaneously rotating forward, backwards and sideways. Cyborg Cyber Spin highlights include unpredictable flips and pivots at up to 70 feet above the ground, seats that leave riders’ feet dangling as they spin through the air, and glittering nighttime light displays. The ride is also located next to Justice League: Battle for Metropolis, a new 4D interactive thrill ride featuring state-of-the-art technology, high-tech video graphics and a full-sensory gaming experience. Six Flags Great Adventure is offering a special Flash Sale through Labor Day weekend, featuring savings of up to 70 percent on a 2018 Season Pass. 2018 Season Passes include unlimited visits on operating days for the remainder of the 2017 Season, including park admission to Fright Fest and Holiday in the Park. A Premium Season Dining Pass can also be purchased, which includes a lunch, dinner and snack during every park visit, plus a 2018 All Season Drink Bottle to be used for unlimited drink refills.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Preferred Home Healthcare & Nursing Services By Robert D. Verderese The first thing you will notice upon meeting Joel Markel, President and owner of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services, a home health care agency, is his friendly and soothing demeanor. The cadence of his voice reveals a compassion that is as genuine as it is heart-felt. In a business which concerns itself with traumatic family situations, Joel’s caring bedside manner seems all-the-more important. Indeed, the company motto, “Home Health Care with Feeling,” is not just a catchy sales pitch but rather the core of the business ethos—born out of a series of family tragedies which ultimately manifested in Joel a profound and compelling empathy. Joel’s misfortunes commenced when he was about 35 years old with the news that his widowed sister Helen had been diagnosed with terminal skin cancer. Consequently, Markel and his wife Stephanie took Helen and her two young sons into their home. “We could not find a home health care agency that provided the full-time care my sister required’’, Markel recollected. “On top of that, my sister lamented over never seeing the same person twice. This did not comfort her.” A short time after this cancer reared its ugly head again when their son Ryan was born with pediatric cancer. “Nurses who were pediatric specialists and willing to care for Ryan at home were extremely hard to come by,” Markel recalls. “And all of the nurses were reluctant to treat Ryan by virtue of how sick he was.” During this trying time, Markel learned a lot about home health care agencies. He learned that most were very limited in terms of the care that was provided. Most only provided services for geriatric care; with very few providing care for children and fewer still for both the old and the young. He also discovered that there were almost no nurses who were qualified to care for patients who were severely sick. “The care that was available at this time was not adequate for us,” Markel recounts. “My wife and I realized that virtually all health care agencies were deficient both from a professional and emotional standpoint.” Tragically, Joel Markel’s sister Helen died shortly after his son Ryan was born and Ryan—who had acute complications from birth—passed at 11 months of age. As a result of these tribulations, Markel’s heart—although filled with grief— began to orient itself in a more empathetic sphere. “I longed to talk with parents who lost
children. I wanted to help them with their pain and in turn for them to help me. I wanted to comfort them and for them to comfort me—I needed some kind of support!” Markel reminisced with unbridled passion. Teeming with empathy, Markel resolved to start a support group for fathers who lost children. This undertaking, however, quickly revealed
at Preferred, caregivers provide an important social connection for their patients as well as an outlet to social activities—with transportation to adult day care or simply having company or professional assistance for a walk in the neighborhood. Preferred Home Health Care’s success Markel attributes almost exclusively to its tenet: “Home Health Care with Feeling.” He believes it’s that emphasis on compassion for others which has sustained the agency for more than 25 years. “We care for people and are committed to helping as many people in need of quality home health care as possible” says Markel. Preferred services include care for infants, babies, adults and seniors, tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs. The agency provides around-theclock or hourly service, with either medical or non-medical assistance available. Whether it is 24 hour service from a registered nurse or 3 hour a day care from a home health aide, the company’s underlying mission remains singular—to treat each patient like family in the comfort of their home, (rather than living in a hospital) promoting independence and dignity for an optimal quality of life. “Every caregiver at Preferred must have a bona fide passion for the work they do,” Markel expresses. “It’s not just a preference, it’s a prerequisite,” he continues. Although
“We care for people and are committed to helping as many people in need of quality home health care as possible” – Joel Markel itself to be one of futility insofar as fathers had no desire communicating their losses to one another. This harrowing time in Markel’s life he aptly described as his ‘Book of Job’ time. Nevertheless, it was this dark period which shed light on the significance of quality home health care in people’s lives. “I started really contemplating the possibility of running a home health care agency,” Markel reflected. This contemplation became a reality when—after reading in The New York Times that a home health care agency in central New Jersey was for sale—Markel shortly after bought the company with the intent of dedicating all his efforts to providing comprehensive home health care ‘with feeling’ to people in the greatest need. Servicing New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Markel’s vision of providing superior home health care with an emotional touch has been fully actualized by Preferred: “We foster a culture of emotional connectivity here. It is essential for our caregivers to assume a familial role for the people they take care of,” Markel explains. To be sure,
hiring caregivers who are passionate is paramount at Preferred, other more tangible qualifications are important as well. For instance, all of the caregivers that work for the agency are fully licensed, bonded and insured, and are subject to a thorough screening and vetting process. Indeed, it is this fusion of ‘passion’ and ‘quality’ which really distinguishes Preferred from its competitors and serves as the principal impetus for the company’s long-standing success. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses also figure prominently within Preferred Home Health Care’s family of professionals. For more than 20 years, these highly skilled caregivers provide state-ofthe-art services and technology to their patients. In addition, the clinical professionals at Preferred teach patients and their families how to manage their illnesses or injuries and explain post-treatment home care needs, such as: diet, nutrition, exercise programs and self-administration of medication. The RNs and LPNs at Preferred are also instrumental in
establishing a care plan or contribute to an existing plan developed by the patient’s doctor. When Joel Markel bought Preferred, over 20 years ago, he could never have envisioned the company’s current status as a multi-faceted, premiere health care agency. By surrounding himself with good, smart, highly qualified people who shared his ‘philosophy of care,’ Markel set out to create a health care agency that went far beyond its traditional confines. For instance, more than half of the agency’s patients are children who have serious medical conditions. These children are cared for by RNs with specialized pediatric expertise which is second-to-none, who provide the most advanced, integrated and extensive services available. Preferred also provides individual care for children while at school, assisting with bus transportation, fieldtrips and providing a clinical eye that is as vigilant as it is consequential. To say that Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services was born out of tragedy is as true as the changing seasons. The idea to start the business began with Markel’s difficulty of not being able to find quality home health care for both his terminally sick sister and seriously ill son, and tragically culminating with their respective deaths. But it was this dark experience which made Markel aware of the importance of comprehensive home health care and which ultimately motivated him to create Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services—home health care ‘with feeling.’ You can reach Preferred anytime via preferredcares.com or by calling 800-603-CARE (2273).

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of september 16 - september 22
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your energy levels will improve faster than you can say zip-adee-do-dah. You have an imaginative viewpoint that helps you perform creative projects, as well as your job, with enthusiasm in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Swear on it. Ambition may be your life, your whole life and nothing but your life, at least during the first half of the week. Your logical approach to financial matters can be helpful to your handling of joint asserts. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your words may be more impactful on others than you realize. Just be sure that you tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth as this week unfolds. Someone may be somewhat suspicious of your motives. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mark your place. Final decisions should be put on hold until the end of the week. You will be better off if you suspend a crucial decision until the timing is better. If you decide that it is best to wait others will agree. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You prefer to be seen as a paragon of political correctness. Because you are too busy examining other people’s faults, however, you may overlook your own. Honor your obligations and act responsibly this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Start the week off by getting your closets organized or the receipts filed away. You could be more concerned with thrift and economy than sharing off your assets. Treat family members with respect in the week to come.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Pay attention to what other people do, but do your own thing. In the week ahead you could have better things to do to fill up your time than to tag along. Be sure to answer emails and phone calls in a timely manner. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your inspiring ideas could bring people together and break a stalemate. Someone close may be riveted on financial security and material success in the week ahead. Look the other way if people seem quarrelsome. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Plan your work and work your plan. Take responsibility for your own actions, since a busy schedule leaves little time to oversee others. Don’t begin any major new undertaking until the end of the week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You could be challenged to discuss something that you prefer to keep under your hat. You must share information to preserve someone’s trust in the week ahead, but may find that this creates a serious conflict. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Control yourself and avoid controversies. In the week to come someone might offer to take some responsibilities off your hands. Don’t consider this to be an affront to your abilities or doubts about your competence. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may feel the boss is looking over your shoulder or that the rules are difficult to comply with in the coming week. If you exert some effort your work will be seen in the best light and things will turn out favorably.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Back To The Table: A Sweet,Tangy Stir-Fry Is Easy On The Budget And Brings Everyone Together By Wolfgang Puck
All across the country, people are at a transition point in their dinnertime habits. We’ve finished summer’s easygoing days, when the evening meal might mean grilled burgers and hot dogs or a quick bite out before a movie or maybe the children heading off in different directions for dinner at friends’ homes. It sometimes seemed as if the family dinner table was a forgotten piece of furniture. Now vacations are over, school is back in session, and the sun is setting earlier day by day. It’s the right time to gather around that table again for a home-cooked meal. Sharing food you cook for yourself and your loved ones is a remarkably effective way to build closeness. Good meals shared can make everyone happier and more relaxed, leading to easier conversations and closer bonds. If you’re a parent, the dinner table offers an especially good opportunity to catch up on your kids’ activities - and make sure they’re doing their homework! But how can you get back into the habit of cooking nightly meals? The easiest way is to focus on recipes that provide big flavor and great satisfaction with minimal effort. And that often leads me to stir-frying. This Asian cooking technique evolved long ago as a way to cook food quickly without using too much precious fuel. By cutting up your ingredients into uniform, small pieces and stirring them together quickly in a large pan over high heat, a delicious one-dish meal can be cooked in minutes. Flavor is quickly added through liquid seasonings that can also play the role of marinade for whatever protein is featured; and a touch of cornstarch helps to bind that sauce when heated, beautifully coating all the stir-fried ingredients. The only other dish you need to make the meal complete is some steamed rice that you start cooking, following package instructions, before you start preparing the main dish. In addition to being quick and easy to prepare, and delicious, the following recipe for a sweet-and-tangy pork-and-vegetable stir-fry has yet three more aspects to its appeal. First, it features ingredients you may well already have in your pantry or refrigerator, or certainly ones you can find easily in your local supermarket. Even better, it’s surprisingly economical, with the entire ingredient list probably costing less than you’d spend to feed four people in a fast-food restaurant. And finally, you don’t even need a wok to make it; a large frying pan works fine. Feel free to substitute boneless, skinless chicken for the pork, or add other vegetables you like. Eventually, you can start inventing
your own stir-fries, coming up with new ways every evening to lure everyone back to the table. S W E E T - A N D - T A N G Y PORK-AND-VEGETABLE STIR-FRY Serves 4 to 6 12 ounces (375 g) well-trimmed center-cut boneless pork chops, about 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick 1 green bell pepper, halved, stemmed, and seeded 1 medium-sized yellow onion, peeled 1 medium carrot, trimmed and peeled 3 tablespoons soy sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 1/2 tablespoons Asian-style toasted sesame oil 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Steamed white rice, for serving 2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, for garnish With a sharp knife, cut the pork chops into 1/2-inch (12-mm) dice. Set the meat aside in a medium mixing bowl. Cut the bell pepper, onion and carrot into 1/4inch (6-mm) dice, combining them in a separate bowl. Pour the soy sauce into a small mixing bowl. Add the cornstarch and stir with a fork until the cornstarch has dissolved completely. Stir in the garlic, sesame oil, vinegar, red pepper flakes and brown sugar. Add the seasonings mixture to the bowl of diced pork and toss well. Set aside at room temperature to marinate for about 15 minutes. Wash your hands thoroughly. Heat the peanut oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add the pork mixture and stir-fry with a long-handled spoon or spatula, keeping the pork cubes moving continuously around the pan, until they have turned lightly golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add all the diced vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Continue stir-frying over high heat until the pork is cooked through and nicely browned and the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 2 minutes longer. Spoon the steamed rice into individual serving bowls or onto serving plates. Spoon the stir-fried pork and vegetables on top of the rice. Garnish with scallions and serve immediately.
