Saltwater anglers and their allies crowded the Stafford Township municipal chambers, where the 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 (Fishing - See Page 4)

By Chris Lundy BARNEGAT – After reports of drivers running a red light, officials urged people to be more careful at the intersection of West Bay Avenue when it is met by Lighthouse Drive on one side, and 1st Street on the other. The issue came up at the last Barnegat Township Committee
meeting. Committeeman John Novak said that people have been spotted running the red light there. The area is a busy intersection near shopping developments and close to the Garden State Parkway exit. Novak said that additional police patrols will be done in the area.

Fishing:
Continued From Page 1 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 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.

And what does that tell me? That tells me that our children will always remember where they were that day and how important what happened to them was that day.” Guadagno urged those at the ceremony to conjure the feeling that they had as a community and as Americans on the day after the attacks, when we shared a common unity and anger over people who would dare to attack us on our own soil. “It was a unity that belied all gender, all feeling of party, all feeling of race, all feeling of differences and it made us come together in a way that I miss today; a way that I hope that we all gather today and we all feel again.” Volunteers placed f lags in the grass around a wreath in memory of the over two dozen people from Ocean County who lost their lives during 9/11 either in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon or the plane crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Jason Ghibesi, College Lecturer of Political Science/History and Lynn Kenneally, Professor of Business and Social Sciences read the names out loud, along with where they lived, who they left behind and where they worked. A bagpiper from the Ocean County Emerald Society played once all the flags were placed around the wreath. Acting Associate Vice President of KeanOcean Stephen A. Kubow, Ph.D. said he always wanted to visit the Windows on the World restaurant on the top of the North Tower, but figured it would always be there, that he’d get there someday. “Now that it is years later, we have in many ways moved on and I fear we are beginning to forget. In a few short years the majority of our students will have been born post-9/11 and will have never have seen the actual World Trade Center building or how the New York City skyline was forever changed.” Kubow said it is important, now more than ever, for educators to keep teaching their students about what happened that day and to put partisan politics aside. “Only through the fulfillment of our role producing an educated and histor ically literate so ciety can we truly say we will never forget,” he said.
it’s bent. America was bent, misshapen, we were traumatized by that day, but we didn’t break,” said Trimble. Christopher Bottomley, College Lecturer of Business at OCC, was working across the street at Two World Financial Center for Merrill Lynch on the day the towers fell. “It’s a day that yes, we’ll never forget, but I specifically will never forget, and quite frankly this is the first time in 16 years that I’m speaking about it,” he said. Bottomley said he went to work as usual that day, a bright, warm day not unlike the day of the ceremony, and was at his desk on the 27th floor between 8 and 8:30 a.m. when he and his colleagues heard a large crash and felt a thud beneath their feet. “So naturally, we were drawn to the windows where I remember ladies gasping, ‘Oh my God, a helicopter hit the North Tower.’ ” He remembers looking at the gaping hole and burning flames and saying to himself, “This is no helicopter, it’s a large jumbo jet.” Once the second plane hit, Bottomley and his colleagues decided not to wait for instructions to evacuate and started walking down the 27 flights of stairs. “It was orderly, it was not chaotic,” he said. That order, however, turned out to be the calm before the storm. “My biggest memory was while I was in the plaza trying to reach my loved ones and my family at the time, watching the North Tower burning, witnessing people jumping to their death, and I said to myself, what a terrible choice to make, having to either burn to death or jump to one’s death,” said Bottomley. He said it was difficult to describe the sound that makes, but it is one that will remain with him for the rest of his life. Although 16 years later Bottomley is beginning to recover from that horrific experience, he said it took him six years to get over nightmares, and that he fears crossing bridges and tunnels and being in large crowds. He said his viewpoints have certainly hardened over the years since 9/11, to where he feels any act of terror is an act of cowardice and that it is not an understatement to be vigilant and aware when it comes to U.S. policy. “I love my county, I love my state, I love my family here at OCC, I love my family at home, and every day for me is a blessing,” he said. Featured speaker and New Jersey’s Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno shared her own memory of 9/11 and a decision she faced of whether or not to pick up her then eight-year-old son from school. She decided to keep him in school, as opposed to having him come home and see the towers collapse on TV all day long. When –Photo by Sara Grillo she picked him up at the bus stop at the end of the Flags placed around a wreath memorialize those in day, he asked her why she Ocean County who lost their lives during the September didn’t come and get him, 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

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. Should parents of those Se a side Pa rk st u de nt s choose to send their children to the Toms River Regional School District or from Lavallette Element a r y School to t he Point Pleasant Beach High School, they will be responsible to pay tuition to attend those school districts. Accordingly, nothing has changed as a result of the recent ruling. If you have any questions, please feel free contact me at 732-269-1100 ext. 206 or via email at tparlapanides@ centralreg.k12.nj.us.

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.

LONG BEACH ISLAND – Two community centers are teaming up for this year’s Long Beach Island Commemorative 18-Mile Run, which will take place on October 8 at 10:30 a.m. The 18-Mile Run is sponsored by the St. Francis Community Center and the LBI Jewish Community Center. The course will begin in Holgate, the southernmost point of LBI, and finish in Barnegat Light State Park. The race began in 1973, when it was held in memory of 11 Israeli Olympic athletes who were slain at the Munich Olympics on September 5, 1972. “The killing of those innocent athletes was one of the most horrific acts of terrorism the world had ever seen,” said Race Director Mike Thompson. The race has continued on, and is now also dedicated
to the men and women who lost their lives here in America on September 11, 2001. Mile markers bearing the names of victims lost to both tragedies will be posted along the running course in their memory. Buses will transport registered runners to starting line at 8 a.m. and continue to run from the finish line back to the Community Center. The finish line will close at 2:15 p.m. All runners are invited to attend a recognition lunch at the Community Center immediately following the 18-Mile Run. Applications can be picked up at St. Francis Community Center, 4700 Long Beach Blvd. or can be downloaded from stfrancislbi.org or on RaceForum.com/LBI.

Many people take a careless approach to eye protection when performing potentially dangerous chores and activities around the house. This cavalier attitude invites eye injuries that can range from mild annoyances to catastrophic vision loss. With this in mind, the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Ocular Trauma recommend that every household have at least one pair of ANSI-approved protective eyewear that should be worn when doing projects or activities that could create a risk for eye injuries at home. Eyewear with “ANSI Z87.1” marked on the lens or frame means that the glasses, goggles, or face shield meets the American National Standards Institute’s safety standard. Anything less (regular glasses/wraparound sunglasses) does not offer full protection. Most safety eyewear manufacturers now provide packaging and product information revolving around how products meet these standards. Protective glasses or goggles with UV protection should be worn when snow or water skiing. They will help shield the eyes from sunburn and glare. To learn more about protective eyewear, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., at 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

–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.

Travel Show Picks Seaside Pizzeria As A “Delicious Destination”
By Chris Lundy SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Maruca’s Tomato Pies will be an upcoming “delicious destination” on the Travel Channel. A small film crew was stationed at the boardwalk restaurant for one day in August. The show, Delicious Destinations, focuses on where to get the best and most interesting foods in various areas.
Joseph Maruca, the owner, said that the filming went perfectly. There was nice weather, a good reception from the crowd, and it went together very smoothly. He said he was more than happy to have been picked by the show. “They reached out to us. They wanted to do a segment on iconic Jersey Shore food and we came up on their radar screen,” he said.
The production company arrived in the morning and was scheduled to be on site through mid-day, he said. They filmed some footage of the beach and boardwalk for flavor, and they also filmed inside the restaurant. They interviewed Maruca about the history of the business, and filmed staff making their signature cheese and tomato pie, among other items.
The staff at the restaurant did not yet know when the segment will air. A representative from the production company did not return attempts to contact them. Seaside Heights business administrator Christopher Vaz said that the production company, Tremendous Entertainment, filed for a one day film permit. He said that he did not expect to have any disruption to residents or tourists. “It’s a small crew. They didn’t have a need for security or to block off any public portion for the B roll.” Most of the filming was inside the restaurant, he said. The B roll would be outside footage of the area.
Ocean County College To Offer Pet Therapy Certification
Winter Completion
FALL SAVINGS
Fall Delivery
TOMS RIVER – Ocean County College’s Department of Continuing & Professional Education, in partnership with Compassionate Canine Training, is offering Pet Therapy Preparation and Certification. The need for certified teams in Ocean County is far beyond the number of dogs being trained. This new hands-on training course is geared for dog/handler teams (owner/pet) and will help meet that need. Pet therapy visits enrich lives, encourage personal connections, and also provide the dogs with an opportunity to use interactive skills that help keep them mentally and physically fit. In Pet Therapy Preparation and Certification, you and your pet will receive hands-on training so you are both ready to be tested/ certified as a Therapy Dog Team and be able to go out and visit people in need. NOTE: Dogs do NOT need to be “perfect” but should like meeting new people and have a basis in obedience (sit, stay, come, down, and loose leash walking). This certification allows you and your dog, as a Therapy Dog Team, to volunteer with Caregiver Canines® and perform home visits to the local senior community as well as hospitals, assisted living facilities, schools, and businesses that allow pet therapy visitations. Classes meet on Saturdays, September 16 to October 7, from 9 to 10:30 a.m., plus the certification evaluation will be scheduled for Saturday, October 14. To register, call the Ocean County College Department of Continuing & Professional Education at 732-255-0404 or visit ocean. edu/cpe.htm (type in keyword “Pet Therapy” or course title “Pet Therapy Preparation and Certification”). Dog trainer Kelly M. Keeney is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and a Certified Behavior Adjustment Training Instructor (CBATI). She provides effective, fun, healthy, and positive YES-based training for pets and their family. Caregiver Canines® is a local non-profit that provides joy and companionship to the elderly and homebound by bringing canine therapy teams directly to them in the comfort of their own homes.

How To Increase The Longevity Of Your Hearing Aid
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 threemonth 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.
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. Expanded Whiting Hours!
Health Crisis Remains In The Heart Of Hispanic Culture
NEW JERSEY – National Hispanic Heritage Month is a celebration of the independence of several Latin American countries and the contributions that have infused America. With about 56.6 million of our nation’s population being of Hispanic decent, it is no surprise that many have embraced this amazing culture, establishing its mark in the United States in music, art, language, food, diversity and most importantly, health. Despite being the largest and fastest growing minority group, there is still a major health crisis concern. The American Heart Association and The American Stroke Association is passionate about celebrating and preserving culture and heritage by building lives free of heart disease and stroke – two leading causes of death among Hispanic-Americans. Roughly, about 40.6 percent of Hispanics suffer from cardiovascular disease due to lack of awareness, diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure. How can we change this and make a difference? The answer begins with you! Other than being familiar with your family history, there are ways you can create awareness
at home, school, in your community or anywhere you go in your daily routine. Being an example can help others be more familiar with their own health. Here are a few small changes you can make that create a big impact on your overall health: Maintain a healthy weight and exercise regularly. Among Hispanics age 20 and over, about 80 percent of men and 76 percent of women are overweight. For overall cardiovascular health, aim for the recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity physical activity. Reduce your sodium consumption. Limit your daily sodium intake to 1500mg a day, recommended by the American Heart Association. Refrain from keeping a salt shaker at the family dinner table to avoid unnecessary sodium intake. Take My Life Check (mlc.heart.org) and know your heart score. Knowing your heart score can help identify changes you can make to your individual health. Quit Smoking. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of coronary heart disease and is one of the most preventable ways to lower your risk of heart attack and stroke.

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!

Manchester Home To Ms. New Jersey Senior America
By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – The town of Manchester is home to this year’s Ms. New Jersey Senior America, Carolyn Slade Harden, who recently competed for the crown in the “Age of Elegance” pageant at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City. Ms. Senior America honors the achievements and inner beauty of women 60 years of age and older and encourages them to share their positive outlook on life with others. To win the pageant, which included categories of talent, philosophy of life, gown and a private interview, Harden sang the song “For Once In My Life.” Harden grew up in Newark, New Jersey alongside eight siblings. To entertain themselves at night, they would all sing. She sang during the day, too, and studied opera at Arts High School, the first public high school in the nation to specialize in visual and performing arts. Leading roles in Madame Butterfly, Aida and Carmen led to a career down the road in music, where she sang with Dionne Warwick, Dee Dee Warwick and Cissy Houston in several gospel groups. Harden produced three music records during the 1960s that topped the charts in multiple U.S. cities. Her debut songs were “I Saw You With My Best Friend” and “Eavesdropping,” followed by “I Wanna Know Right Now,” which was written by Van McCoy. Harden also served as choir director at churches throughout New Jersey, including the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, where she conducted Whitney Houston in her first solo performance. “Growing up with family of singers as well, it kind of came natural to want to do that and to pursue that,” she said. These days, Harden spends her time at the Renaissance at Manchester, and was one of the first 300 people to move in back when the community was built. She is of course involved with directing the Renaissance Adult Community Chorus. While singing came naturally, competing was a first for Ms. Harden, who said she joined the pageant in order to give back. “They’ve got a gracious group of women,” she said, adding, “I wanted to be a part of it.” It turned out that the only way to be a part of it was to participate in the pageant. The first time that women from the Ms. Senior America organization came to the Renaissance to recruit for the pageant, she said no, as she was caring for her husband at the time. But the second time they came, she said yes. One of those Ms. Senior America women, who became a mentor during the pageant, was someone Harden went to high school with and who, like her, sang opera. Harden said that while she has a great support system at the Renaissance and is very involved with activities there, she still had too much time on her hands. She
–Photo courtesy Carolyn Slade Harden Carolyn Slade Harden of Manchester was recently crowned Ms. New Jersey Senior America at the “Age of Elegance” pageant at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City. liked what the Ms. America group was doing, working in the community and with seniors. As Ms. Senior America, she will travel throughout the state as the featured performer in all New Jersey Cameo Club Showcases, performing in 55 and over communities, clubs, veterans’ hospitals, assisted living facilities and nursing homes. Her duties also include promoting the positive aspects of aging. Ms. America duties aside, Harden is someone who doesn’t stop at just one skill set. She received a Bachelor’s degree in Management Science with a major in Finance from Kean University, and just closed her business OfficeXperts, LLC last year. She currently runs the Harden Institute for Financial Independence, also known as the HIFI Club, where she helps teach youth the importance of managing their money, planning for the future and getting financially ready for college. Part of the HIFI Club is members of her own family. Harden has family members spread across 36 states, and she serves as family mentor, accompanying the parents of young cousins, nieces and nephews to the bank, or with setting up trust funds and investments. Perhaps due to her sound financial skills and advice, she has a daughter and son who are both successful entrepreneurs, as well as a granddaughter, grandson and great-granddaughter who no doubt have bright futures ahead. Harden will now go on to compete against women from other states in the Ms. Senior America National Pageant at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City in October. “I think Nationals offers an even greater challenge to get involved and I’m looking forward to doing that too,” she said.

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.

Explore Jazz Music’s Influence On Healing Of A Nation
SURF CITY – Join the LBI Branch of the Ocean County Library at 217 S. Central Avenue, Surf City for Jazz and the American Spirit: Swing, The Great Depression and World War II, on September 23, at 1 p.m. Michael Conklin of the Brookdale Community College Music Department will discuss how the music of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, and others helped heal a nation weary from economic devastation of the Great Depression, and the turmoil of war. Discover the importance of this music as an American art form and the cultural significance it has had in our country’s history. When the stock market took a dive on Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929, the country was unprepared, and the resulting economic devastation was a key factor in
beginning the Great Depression. Americans were searching for an escape for their hardship, and they found it in the music of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, and others. From the advent of V-Discs (victory discs) and the USO, evidence will be provided on music’s ability to heal a nation through economic devastation and the turmoil of war. This family program is sponsored by the Friends of the Island Library and funded by the Horizons Speakers Bureau of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. It will be held in the meeting room. Please register online at theoceancountylibrary.org, by calling the LBI branch at 609-494-2480, or in person during branch business hours.

Inside The Law Injured At Work? Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
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.

Col. James Martin Jr. addresses a crowd of service members at the Timmerman Center on the Dix side of Joint Base MDL. By Sara Grillo JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST – In a recent ceremony at Joint Base McGui re -Di x-La kehu rst, U.S. Army Col. Martin Klein relinquished command of the U.S. Army Support Activity (ASA) Fort Dix to U.S. Army Col. James E. Martin, Jr. Martin is a former Infantry and Information Systems Officer and previously served as Deputy to the Army Reserve Deputy Commanding General of Support. Highlights of the day, which began at 10 a.m., included posting of the colors by a joint color guard, formation of service members and ceremonial music provided by a live military band. The ceremony was filled with Joint Base MDL service members and civic leaders, including 3rd District Congressman Tom MacArthur. Brenda McCullough, U.S. Army Instillation Management Command Director and ASA Fort Dix Command Sgt. Major Patrick McKie oversaw the change of command, which took place in the Timmerman Center. Martin will lead the ASA Fort Dix and assume the role of Joint Base MDL Deputy Commander, serving alongside U.S. Air Force Col. Neil Richardson, Joint Base MDL and 87th Air Base
Wing Commander, and U.S. Navy Captain Christopher Bergen, Naval Support Activity Lakehurst and Joint Base MDL Deputy Commander. Klein gave a farewell speech during the ceremony, expressing his gratitude toward both the Joint Base MDL community and his family. “It has been my honor to have known you and to serve alongside you,” said Klein in a statement. “This command has given me a newfound sense of respect for [not only the soldiers], but for the sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen who call this joint base home.” The new Deputy Commander of Joint Base MDL also took to the podium to address the crowd. “While our history is rich, Col. Klein has positioned us to look toward the future so that ASA Fort Dix will once again provide readiness capabilities that enable the Army and joint force to meet 21st century security challenges,” said Martin. “To every soldier, sailor, airman, Marine, Coast Guardsman, and Department of Defense civilian: you are the very fabric of our military and our most treasured resource. You are ‘The Ultimate Weapon.’ We will support ‘The Ultimate Weapon!’”

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.

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.
