Officials: Oyster Creek Drill Successful

By Chris Lundy LACEY – The scenario is pretty frightening: a plume of radiation has escaped Oyster Creek Generating Station.

Fortunately, it was only a drill, and according to the people grading the test, local officials passed with flying colors, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Nuclear Regulatory Committee.

There was a three-day “Full Scale Plume/Ingestion Pathway Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise” throughout local towns recently. The plume was imagined to stretch 10 miles from the plant, then 50 miles. At that point, the “Ingestion” part of the drill came in. Officials had to collect data and determine (Oyster - See Page 5)

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – When the chorus took the stage, dozens of their peers in the crowd burst out in applause and shouting.

There was an excitement among the kids, cheering on their fellow students in the Vocal Ensemble. They were performing in front of local officials who were officially announcing the eventual constr uction of the Performing Arts Academy on the grounds of Ocean County College.

Their songs and dance number was just a preview of what was to come when the school fi nally finds a home there.

Currently, the academy (Arts - See Page 4)

Arts:

Continued From Page 1 is stationed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. The school is distant from everything else, and difficult to travel to and from. The new school would be built in front of the current Jay and Linda Grunin Center. Ocean County Vocational Technical School Superintendent William P. Hoey Jr. said that the grounds

between the center and parking lot will be extended, taking up some of the parking, for the building. The building will be used by college classes at night. The academy will allow performing arts Vo-Tech students to earn both a high school diploma and an Associate’s Degree at the same time.

Hoey told a story of walking through the halls of the current performing arts academy. When classes let out, kids poured into the halls. Many

of them were singing. This is just something that happens when creative kids are given a chance to express themselves.

“It’s a tribute to the kind of education that they’ve chosen,” he said. And “chosen” might be the most important part of that. When kids have a hand in their own education, they are driven to excel.

It’s that kind of excitement, on display on stage at the event, that will prompt them to

succeed, he said.

The Performing Arts Academy, as well as the county’s Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science, are federally recognized Blue Ribbon schools, he said. Placing the academy in a state-of-the-art building will give it even more potential.

OCC President Jon Larson said this will be a transformative experience for both schools, “making us the envy of other counties.”

Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari touted the cooperation between the vo-tech, OCC, county government, and the Grunin Foundation.

Students that will graduate from the future academy will look back at the opportunities that were given here, he said. It will provide them the training for future careers – some of which don’t even exist yet.

“Towns and cities aspire to be places where people want to live and visit. A vibrant and flourishing arts culture is certainly a way to distinguish a community from the sameness that permeates so much of our national landscape,” said Jay Grunin, co-founder and cochair of the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation.

The school will be a place for creative students to develop their own unique needs, and explore new subject matters and cultures, he said. It will also provide the skills and mindset to succeed in the 21st century job market.

“Arts education not only enhances students’ understanding of the world around them, but it also broadens their perspective on traditional academics. The arts give us the creativity to express ourselves while challenging our intellect. The arts integrate life and learning for all students, and are essential for the development of the whole person,” he said.

The goal is to be completed in December of 2019, so students could start in January of 2020, Hoey said. However, if there are construction delays, the first classes would be held in September of 2020.

There would be high school students on the same campus as adult college students, but Hoey said every precaution will be made to keep the students safe. There will be chaperones for common areas like lunch and library time. They won’t have freshmen roaming free, but the access to the college increases more as they age.

A lot of high school students are already on campus during the day and night, as OCC has been reaching out to schools to accelerate education, he said.

Financing And Naming Rights The state will fund $10.6 million toward the funding of the construction. Ocean County and the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation will each contribute $8 million. OCC will provide $2 million.

However, there would still be the cost of programming and expansion of education that is currently done. This would cost an estimated $5 million, said Jeremy Grunin, president of his parents’ foundation. So, the foundation is kicking off a fundraising drive for this.

“We are willing to forego the naming rights” of the building, he said. A donor who would contribute $2.5 out of the total $5 million would secure the naming rights of the building.

“It is not an act of vanity but an act of leadership,” he said. Sponsoring an educational endeavor like this is meant to inspire giving in others.

There were 239 criteria upon which they were judged, said Susan O’Neill, chair of the Regional Assistance Committee for FEMA’s Region 2. It included calculating the dosage of radiation in various areas and communicating important information to officials and residents.

The municipalities that were tested included: Ship Bottom, Ocean Township, Pi ne Beach, Bar negat, Beachwood, Berkeley, Toms River, Harvey Cedars, Island Heights, Long Beach Township, Lacey, Ocean Gate, Bar negat Light, Seaside Park, South Toms River, Stafford, and Surf City.

The applicant wanted a number of waivers. For example, the property is in an R-125 zone, which means only residential construction can be done. There were 31 spaces proposed although there are 63 required. The signage that the applicant proposed was twice as large as allowed.

All of these regulations were waived by the Board of Adjustment.

The application was heard in December of 2016 and January of 2017. In addition to the experts that Dollar General hired, Berkeley police and a neighbor gave testimony.

The hours of operation will be from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.

Lighting would be turned off one hour after the store closes. Security cameras will be installed.

The owners are also required to construct sidewalks and curbs, as well as a fenced-in retention basin. There will be a 20-foot buffer with Leyland cypress trees planted along a berm.

As part of the application, Dollar General said deliveries will be made once a week, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., and not during school bus times or rush hours. Berkeley police stated that this part of Route 9 is not a high-accident area and the development would not be expected to impact traffic safety.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Traffic Nightmare On Princeton Ave. For the past seven or eight years, the traffic on Princeton Ave. in Brick has become a nightmare. The speed limit says 40 miles an hour while there are times the cars are doing 46 to 50 miles an hour.

Princeton Ave. is a residential area. The volume of the traffic is because the people are using Princeton Ave. to avoid Route 88 which is 35 miles an hour (and is a commercial road) while trying to get to Point Pleasant. The majority of the people do not live on or off Princeton Ave. The cars come in caravans of 7 to 19 or more all day, every day seven days a week. Trying to cross Princeton Ave. is at your own risk because the caravan of cars is coming both ways.

Then there are people driving in the bike lane while trying to get around a car that is trying to make a turn off Princeton Ave. These people don’t even slow down – they continue their same speed.

These drivers are sometimes very abusive to the people walking or riding their bikes in the bike lane. There are fewer people walking, jogging or riding their bikes anymore because they don’t feel safe. Princeton Ave. has very few sidewalks – hence walking or jogging in the bike lane.

Then we have the problem of trying to get out of our development. First there are the cars speeding through a red light. I live on Princeton Pines Place. When trying to go straight across Princeton Ave. to Post Road, that’s another nightmare. We have to fight the people making a right turn onto Post Road even though they have a red light but they continue to speed around the corner.

They need a “No Turn On Red” sign at this corner.

Sometimes we have to slam on our brakes to avoid an accident even though we have the light. But these people just keep going.

I addressed these concerns with the town over two years ago but nothing has changed.

If anything, the situation has only gotten worse. There are more cars, trucks, and even big commercial trailers.

The summer months always bring more traffic and then there is the Farmers’ Market on Saturdays at Windward Beach during the four summer months. The traffic is horrible on Saturdays during the summer.

This issue needs to be addressed before a major causality occurs.

Not A Vote For Trump In reference to John Cardello’s recent letter, I feel I must respond even though his “facts” are questionable at best.

About his reference to the great job Trump is doing; we learn from the Gallup. com poll: Trump’s most recent weekly average approval rating is 38 (from Sept. 11-17, 2017) From Newsweek: “Trump’s approval rating is bad – like, historically bad. The weighted average from data-focused website FiveThirtyEight pegged it at just 37 percent on Friday – Day 197 of his presidency. No other president in the history of modern polling has had an approval rating so dismal on Day 197.”

President Trump regularly boasts about the stock market’s strong performance since his inauguration. What Trump hasn’t noted, however, is that Barack Obama and George H.W. Bush oversaw greater stock market expansion during their first six months in office, as judged by percentage growth of the S&P 500.

As for the Russian investigation being over, Mr. Cardello, surely you must have been sipping the Kool-Aid or taking a page from Trump’s “alternative facts.” The New York Times three days ago, headlined “Mueller Seeks White House Documents Related to Trump’s Actions

Letters To The Editorthey will no longer take fullas President.” The article Vicari goes on to say, “The document requests provide the most details to date about the breadth of Mr. Mueller’s investigation, and show that several aspects of his inquiry are focused squarely on Mr. Trump’s behavior in the White House.” This article is dated Sept. 20, 2017, so the investigation is certainly not over even though Trump and Mr. Cardello wish it to be so.

About food stamps (SNAP) you boasted that there are fewer people on food stamps.

One can certainly state that there could be less people on food stamps because Trump cut the budget for eligible recipients. Nearly half of SNAP recipients are children. That’s 20 million kids – about 1 in 4 Americans under the age of 18. The 42 million Americans – 13 percent of the population – who currently receive SNAP benefits, which include low income families, the elderly (about 11 percent of SNAP recipients are seniors) people with disabilities, and those who have lost a job. They receive an average of about $4.17 per day, or $1.39 per meal. (from modernfarmer. com) Surely you cannot be proud of taking food out of their mouths.

All in all, Mr. Cardello, I do not wish to be in your rising boat that purportedly lifts us all. Neither do I wish to be in the Trump one that is sinking.

Barnegat Meeting A Farce In case you missed the Barnegat Township Committee Meeting on Sept. 5, here’s some details. It was a complete farce…nothing more than a campaign-style “rally” meeting, a la Trump, where each of the committee members gave a stump speech promoting their “greatness.”

I would, however, like to give them some credit on two issues which we in the township had been strongly and vociferously advocating for over the last 10-15 years.

They finally listened to us and made some renovations to our public parks and, after all these years, the committee members announced that

time health benefits.

On this last issue of the health benefits, I would like to highlight two relevant, somewhat hypocritical and misplaced comments made by our committee members at the meeting last Tuesday.

Mr. Novak had the audacity to state that he is a “true public servant” because he is generously refusing to take these health benefits. Why didn’t he refuse them the last three years and also when he was on the committee several years ago? Mr. Bille, from the dais of our Township Committee meeting as mayor, inappropriately “thanked” their two candidates for refusing to take these health benefits. This ploy is purely a campaign strategy and should be seen as such. Campaign matters have no place at a Township Committee meeting.

The last issue I wanted to discuss in this letter is one about which, our entire town is up-in-arms….the huge municipal tax increases we have experienced over the last 10-15 years – years in which both Mr. Cirulli and Mr. Novak served as mayor and/or Township Committee members and voted on all the budgets during their tenures. If we just take 2016 vs 2015 municipal taxes – they increased by $2.2 Million (10% year-over-year). Looking back on previous years we see the same irresponsible spending. Every year residents stand up and ask for answers to these unacceptable spending patterns and the Township Committee continues to dance around the issue.

Well, I think it’s time for new voices in Barnegat and the only way we’ll get them is if you go to the ballot box and make it happen. We have had a one-party Township Committee in Barnegat for far too long and it’s time to make some changes. Vote on November 7. That’s the only way we can begin to affect change in Barnegat.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

NEW JERSEY –Congressman Tom MacArthur, Republican Chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, has announced that the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) has designated Ocean County as a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA).

Recently, Congressman Tom MacArthur led a letter to the

Macarthur Announces Ocean County Designated As High Drug Trafficking Area

ONDCP urging the addition of Ocean County to the HIDTA program and has met with local, county, state and federal law enforcement officials to discuss the importance of the designation. Additionally, the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, which he co-chairs, successfully fought against drastic budget cuts to the ONDCP and the HIDTA program.

This designation helps coordinate joint efforts among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, and provides funds for resources needed to combat drug trafficking in problem areas.

“Ocean County has been devastated by drug addiction,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur. “Last year, 190 Ocean County residents died

from an overdose – that’s one death every 43 hours.

Our local law enforcement officials are on the front lines of this fight and need help to get dealers off our streets and stop drugs from flowing into our communities. This designation is critical for Ocean County and will ensure our police officers have the assistance and resources they

need to save loved ones. I will continue to fight for our community and support local law enforcement in their effort to protect our neighborhoods and rid our streets of drugs and the criminals who profit from ruining people’s lives.”

“Drug trafficking is a national problem that has to be addressed on the local level, and adding these counties to the

HIDTA program is a critical part of this effort,” said Richard Baum, Acting Director of National Drug Control Policy.

“These new designations and the funding they will bring will help our federal, state, and local law enforcement officers work together to disrupt and dismantle the trafficking networks that are bringing drugs into our communities.”

Attorney General Warns Senior Citizens About Rampant Phone Scams

NEW JERSEY – Attorney General Christopher S. Porrino and the Division of Consumer Affairs are urging seniors to avoid becoming the victims of phone fraud schemes and are providing a number of educational tools to help with the effort.

The Division offers brochures online to help consu mer s ident if y sca ms and avoid them. Its latest brochure, Fighting Phone Fraud, also gives information on the federal Do Not Call Registry and how to sign up, along with ways to block robocallers.

The message of the brochures is simple: If you think the call you are receiving is a scam, it probably is.

OCEA N COU N T Y – Ocean County’s 33 municipalities will once again each receive a share of recycling revenue as part of a sharing program that has sent more than $16 million to towns since 1995.

“We are very pleased to announce once again that recycling pays in Ocean County,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little. “For the first half of 2017 we will be returning $252,686 to our municipalities.”

From January thru June of 2017, towns recycled more than 39,606 tons of waste,” said Little, who is

“Technology has made it easier for disreputable companies and criminals to prey on senior citizens with a simple phone call, often bullying or cajoling people to part with their money. T hese t y pes of scams are despicable,” said At tor ney Gene r al Porrino. “We want to arm seniors with information to help them avoid becoming victims and also aid regulator y agencies and law enforcement to stop illegal activity before others are hurt.”

New Jersey law also prohibits telemarketers who have not registered with the Division of Consumer Affairs from calling any New Jersey resident, regardless of whether the

resident is on the national Do Not Call Registry or not. Violations of that law can lead to a $10,000 fi ne for a fi rst offense and up to $20,000 for each subsequent offense.

“There are ways to punish scam autodialer calls in New Jersey, and we urge people who are being subjected to repeated calls to report these efforts to the Division of Consumer Affairs, said Steve Lee, Director of the Division.

“Consumers should not engage these callers, but they should make sure to report the phone numbers.”

Those who wish to fi le a complaint can submit it online.

The scams outlined by the Division in its materials

are varied, but all seek either personal information or money. Here are some examples: A person posi ng as an agent of the Internal Revenue Ser v ice dema nd s money for back taxes.

A person posing as a relative calls, saying he or she is in serious trouble and asks you to send money in order to help.

A person posing as a representative of your electric, gas or water service says that you owe it money and that if it’s not paid now, your service will be shut off.

A caller says he or she is getting in touch on behalf of Medicare or Medicaid and is seeking personal information because you need a new card.

The advice for all of these is the same. Do not give money. Do not give personal information. Hang up immediately.

In order to limit robocalling and scam calling, consumers fi rst should make sure their phone numbers, both land line and cell, are on the federal Do Not Call Registr y, which can be done by phone at 888-3821222 or online at donotcall. gov. Unwanted sales calls also can be repor ted at this line.

Unfortunately, robocallers and scam mers will still call. Third-party services may be able to limit these calls. Information on those services can be obtained at fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwant-

County Distributing Over $250K In Recycling Revenue

also liaison to the Department of Solid Waste Management. “That’s 1,773 tons more than the first half of 2016.”

The payout rate for the first half of the year was $6.38 per ton under a new agreement with Atlantic Coast Recycling.

“Our partnership with our communities continues to keep waste out of the landfill while providi ng add it ional revenue to the towns,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicar i. “The Ocean Cou nt y Depa r t ment of Solid Waste Management and Freeholder Little do

a n ou t s t a n d i ng job i n making certain recycling programs are easily accessible to everyone.”

The amount ret ur ned to towns is based on the amount of collected recyclables brought to the County and the cur rent commodity market price.

The first half of 2017 saw a substantial rise in the price-per-ton for most recyclables.

Corrugated paper and cardboard jumped by $88 per ton, newspaper was up $31, tin cans $66, aluminum $123 and PET plastics saw a $126 jump. Only colored H DPE plast ics

saw a decline, dropping $34 a ton.

Little said towns can use the money as needed although many invest it back into the recycling program.

The largest recycling revenue sharing checks will go to Lakewood, Toms River, Brick, Stafford and Jackson townships.

“And, while these are the county’s largest municipalities, I applaud all of ou r tow ns, even the smallest, for their ongoing recycling efforts,” Little said.

–Photos courtesy Berkeley Township Berkeley Township is providing two dedicated parking spaces for wounded combat veterans as a way of saying thank you for their service.

BERKELEY – Mayor Carmen Amato and the Township Council want to honor our Veterans, as Berkeley Township is home to one of the largest Veteran populations in the state. The Township forefathers had already showed their support through the naming of Veterans Boulevard and Veterans Park.

Mayor Amato and Councilman James J. Byrnes were discussing what they could do to honor our combat wounded Veterans. Amato and Councilman Byrnes, a Vietnam veteran who received a Bronze Star and Purple Heart when he served

as a medic in the 82nd Airborne, came up with the idea of dedicating two parking spaces at Town Hall.

“Our Town Hall is extremely busy during the day where parking is always at a premium. These dedicated spaces are our way to say ‘thank you’ for your service to our country,” Amato said.

By Sara Grillo

POINT PLEASANT BEACH – Employees of Bartley Healthcare teamed up on Saturday, September 23 to take part in the Walk to Fight Alzheimer’s in Point Pleasant Beach, an effort aligned with Bartley’s ongoing support and fundraising for Alzheimer’s New Jersey.

The team at Bartley Healthcare takes part in the walk every year to show its support for residents and their families, as well as its dedicated staff of caregivers.

“Events that raise funds and call attention to Alzheimer’s disease are one of the ways we can make a difference in the lives of our residents and their families,” said Laura Hoey, COO of Bartley Healthcare, and one of the team members at the Walk to Fight Alzheimer’s in Point Pleasant Beach.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, a term used to describe memory loss and other intellectual disabilities that are serious enough to interfere with a person’s daily life. Alzheimer’s disease, which makes up 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases, causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior.

Alzheimer’s disease is progressive, meaning

that dementia systems associated with the disease get gradually worse over the course of several years. Memory loss is mild at first, but in late stages of the disease, affected individuals lose the ability to hold a conversation and respond to their environment. Alzheimer’s sufferers typically live an average of eight years after experiencing noticeable symptoms, but survival can span from four to 20 years depending on their age and other health issues.

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia, help is available by contacting the Alzheimer’s New Jersey helpline at 888-2806055. They can provide reliable information, education, referrals and support.

Find out more about Bartley Healthcare’s memory care and dementia services by calling 732-370-4700.

Founded in 1985, Bartley Healthcare has long been recognized as an award winning, quality leader in memory care, skilled nursing, post-acute care, and assisted living. Bartley Healthcare is Joint Commission accredited, with special certification for their Memory Care and Post-Acute Programs. For more information, visit bartleyhealthcare.com.

FREE SCREENING for Detection of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA)

As many as 2.7 million Americans are estimated to have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, but only about half of them have been diagnosed. Approximately 15,000 people die from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States each year. Many patients are not aware of the presence of an AAA. It is more prevalent in patients with history of smoking and family histories of abdominal aortic aneurysms and hypertension. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms usually do not produce any symptoms until the aneurysm is ready to rupture. It is therefore important that persons over the age of 65, with family history of AAA and/or history of smoking, should be screened to detect the presence of an aneurysm.

If the aneurysm is found and happens to be less than 5 centimeters, the patient should be followed periodically as an outpatient with ultrasound to check for any significant increase in the size of the aneurysm. If the aneurysm turns out to be greater than 5 centimeters, the patient should consider repair of the aneurysm and discuss treatment options with a Vascular surgeon.

Please call the office at 732-244-4448 to schedule your free screening.

Keeping Your Ears In Good Shape

We all know that exercise is good for keeping our bodies in good shape. There is more and more evidence that exercising our ears is also good for keeping our hearing in good shape. A number of studies in the United States and abroad have demonstrated that individuals with hearing loss in both ears, who only use one hearing aid, tend to maintain or improve their ability to understand words in the ear with the hearing aid. The ear without the hearing aid tends to decline in word recognition ability. This decline is not a change in hearing sensitivity, but rather is a decline in the ability to process the complex speech signal simply through the lack of use. In my opinion, there are several reasons for this phenomenon: 1.

The ear without the hearing aid is not being “exercised” very much and 2. The area of the brain involved in hearing is not being used and becomes less effective at

processing speech information.

This gradual decline in speech recognition ability usually reverses itself once the ear gets more stimulation (normally through the use of a hearing aid). Research in England suggests this process of gradual improvement in speech understanding may take four to six weeks after the hearing aid fitting, and may continue for up to 12 weeks. What does this mean to someone with hearing loss? Over the past 10 years, the results of a number of studies suggests the following: 1. The longer a hearing loss is ignored, the greater effect. 2. The sooner a hearing loss is treated, the easier the adjustment. 3. In almost all cases, two hearing aids are better than one. Two hearing aids will keep both ears and both sides of the brain actively involved in hearing.

4. Improved hearing may take a little time and patience.

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!

How Magnesium Helps You Breathe And Be Happy

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Magnesium participates as a cofactor in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in your body which comes as a surprise to people who think that FDA-approved medications hold a clinical edge over nutrients. Medications tend to steal the show, but I can’t name one drug that functions in 300 metabolic processes in your body. Not one!

Even the National Institutes of Health says magnesium is necessary to help maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keep your heart rhythm steady, support a healthy immune and bronchial system and keep your bones strong so your hip doesn’t give out.

According to a survey by the U.S. government 75 percent of American adults have a magnesium-deficient diet. That’s three out of four of you. It’s getting worse due to the massive coffee consumption because compounds in coffee are ‘drug muggers’ of magnesium. Human deficiencies occur more often because the soil is very deficient in magnesium, so the salad that grows in the soil isn’t soaking up as much mag as it used to back in the day! When you eat it, it’s not as nutritious.

Magnesium levels impact one hugely important organ in your body, your heart! Everyone is so afraid of a heart attack and yet, I bet you don’t know that a low level of magnesium is associated with an increased level of C-reactive protein (CRP). CRP is a marker for type of inflammation and it’s a silent killer.

High CRP levels are associated with heart disease.

Has anyone ever tested your RBC magnesium levels if you have asthma? The reason I ask is because low magnesium levels have long been associated with several adverse, dangerous lung conditions. Even a recent study confirmed how low levels of magnesium and vitamin D are associated with an increased incidence of severe breathing difficulties!

Sadly, most patients are put on inhalers for their entire lifetime, without ever getting tested to see if low mag is contributing.

A low magnesium level can damage your brain and mood. In my book, Headache Free, I provided research to show how magnesium can reduce headache frequency, while improving mood and restorative sleep. No surprise there… magnesium is needed to create dopamine, serotonin and other happy brain chemicals. But a very common mistake is taking the wrong form. You will need the kind of magnesium that actually gets into your brain, like the “threonate” form, as opposed to the laxative form of magnesium like “citrate” which slides through your colon.

I have much more to share with you about magnesium’s role in women’s health, bone integrity and cardiovascular disease so I’m inviting you to my website (suzycohen.com) to sign up for my newsletter. When you do that, I’ll email the longer version of this article. You do need to read it because three out of four American’s are magnesium deficient, so if it’s not you, then three of your relatives are deficient and that means their heart and brain are at risk.

Ocean County Students Rally For Dreamers

HERE’S HOW

He –Photos by Bob Vosseller A rally was held in front of Toms River Township Hall by students opposing the ending of the DACA program which protects undocumented immigrants brought here as children by their parents from deportation.

By Bob Vosseller

TOMS RIVER – Around 30 Toms River high school students gathered with signs, artwork and strong words during the evening of Sept. 22 on the side entrance of the Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Library.

They came out to support those who will be impacted by the cancellation of the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program. The rally, organized by Zachary Dougherty, the president of the Toms River High School Democrats, was designed “to show that America supports its Dreamers,” Dougherty said.

The students spoke about their opposition to President Donald Trump’s decision to end the Obama-era DACA program in six months. The president has asked Congress to consider a replacement for the program, which protects undocumented immigrants brought here as children by their parents from deportation.

Dougherty said that “after the shakeup to our previous immigration policies a few of my friends and I were getting pizza after school, and we started to talk about DACA and how our friends are affected, what representatives to call, and we started to plan how we could make a difference.

“The school club I founded is the North Democratic Club which has 40 members. We used our structural support to help spread the word within the three Toms River schools. Social media/call/text/email and just people to people to get as many kids involved. We also reached out to local activist groups, politically active groups, candidates, and elected officials,” Dougherty said.

Dougherty said the event was 100 percent student organized and that it included students making signs, artwork, writing poetry and that all the speakers were students.

“Our goal is to show that regardless of what goes on in the federal level or the state, our Dreamers, supported by DACA, are our friends, peers, classmates, teammates and we will stand up for each other in our schools,” Dougherty said. He added that “children are not just an item for a political agenda, that illegal children shouldn’t be treated in any negative light, and ultimately to express that even on the smallest scale in Toms River Schools, there are students who will stand shoulder to shoulder with our Dreamers.”

Bernie Garcia, a 16-year-old junior at Toms River High School North and a Mexican American who spoke during the rally, told his story. “My parents came here to escape poverty. We escaped poverty but faced racism. We need change and we need it now.”

“These children were brought here illegally but they are kids that are chasing the American dream and to take their status away from them would be a disgusting thing to do,” Toms River High School North junior Edgar Lemus Rivera said. He said the

issue has touched him personally as his cousin is part of the DACA program.

Evelyn Nazzario, 18, a senior at Toms River High School North, also serves as the school’s student council president. “I look at the news and I wonder is anything progressing? When I see things like this today, I see hope. If we are united we stand a chance to change. No one should live with a fear to live here.

Dreamers deserve a chance too.”

Nancy Ciasulli and her husband Mario came out for the event. The Toms River couple arrived a short time before the rally began and supported the speakers’ message.

“I think it is wonderful that they are here doing this,” Nancy Ciasulli said. Her husband added, “We’re all dreamers. We all come from other lands.”

Another attendee was Lynn Gulczynski, Toms River. “I heard about this from the local chapter of NOW (National Organization of Women). My grandchildren are going to college and some of these kids (the Dreamers) have the extra burden of worrying from day to day of what will happen to them. It is awful.”

Ryan Young, co-president of the Ocean County Young Democrats and 9th District assembly candidate said Zachary had picked up a new title today.

“He is now the vice president of our high school outreach program. It is great to see these students so engaged at such a young age. They have become engaged a lot earlier than some of us.”

Emma Mommano, Brick, came out with her young daughter to support the rally’s message. She is a Democratic candidate for Senate in the 10th Legislative District. She said the decision to end DACA should be reconsidered as such decisions “should be made with compassion. We can find a path for undocumented people to be part of our country, especially New Jersey, which is third to Texas and California in having undocumented workers.”

Local representative Congressman Tom MacArthur’s office provided the following statement regarding the rally, “Congressman MacArthur has previously expressed his support for the DACA program and voted against repealing it during his first term in Congress. He believes we need to fix our nation’s immigration system but starting this process by hurting the most innocent and vulnerable population would be wrong and misguided.”

“Immigration will always be the hottest topic in the country,” Dougherty said. We are a nation of immigrants. If our students don’t feel safe in school something is wrong. We don’t want to be talked about and not have a say in it. This kind of rally can happen all over New Jersey. We can’t take a back seat. This is not a Republican or Democrat issue. This is about kids. We can, and we will, make a difference in our community.”

The Beauty Of This Pageant: It’s A Scholarship Program

By Sara Grillo Maybe you remember the scene from the movie Miss Congeniality where Candice Bergen, who plays the Miss United States pageant director, tells the cop that it’s not a beauty pageant, “It’s a scholarship program.” Well, it is.

Until two years ago, Ocean County was not represented in either the Miss New Jersey pageant held in Ocean City for nearly three decades, or the Miss New Jersey’s Outstanding Teen pageant, which started up about 10 years ago.

Directors Geralyn and Chuck Watson have the sinking feeling that people don’t know the pageant has come back to the county, and that young women and teens have no idea how much money could be up for grabs to help finance their college education or pay off their student loans.

For the past two years, the competition has been an open one, meaning girls from anywhere in the state were allowed to compete. This year, the hope is to crown a Miss Ocean County from within the state’s sixth most populous county.

At a time when it’s estimated that nearly 44 million Americans owe over $1.45 trillion in student loan debt, the word scholarship goes a long way.

Through support from the local Ocean County community, the Watsons hope to be able to give away more money to contestants. The county pageant is also a window to the larger Miss New Jersey and Miss America competitions, which have more established sponsorships.

Last year alone, the Miss America Organization said it gave away millions in cash, scholarship assistance and tuition waivers. Although it began with a group of Atlantic City businessmen as a way to prolong the summer tourism season, the nonprofit has grown to become one of the nation’s leading advocates for women’s education and the largest provider of scholarship support to young women in the country.

“It’s not the pageant of yesterday,” said Geralyn Watson, who goes by Geri.

Bright Women, Bright Futures North Dakota’s Cara Mund was crowned as Miss America 2018 in this year’s competition on September 9. Yes, there were gowns, swimsuits even. But Mund is also an Honors Graduate from Brown University and plans to enter law school when her year-long campaigning as Miss America and for Children’s Miracle Network is up.

She even hopes to become the first woman-elected governor of North Dakota.

The current Miss Ocean County, Olivia Suarez, is also a scholar. She graduated from Widener University in Pennsylvania with a degree focused in business management and hospitality and now works at Harrah’s Philadelphia, where she began as an intern three years ago. She now manages a restaurant and a Starbucks, and also juggles some part-time work in graphic design and makes promotional videos for artists who come to town, such as Iggy Azalea. She loves her job, of course, and can still see her old college stomping grounds from the Harrah’s parking deck.

Olivia has been volunteering since the age of 4 and said she got involved with Miss America because she wanted to volunteer, not because she wanted to be in a pageant. She was the first girl in New Jersey to take her volunteering platform

international by traveling to Honduras to work with underprivileged youth – working on projects to build a library, water well and kitchen so kids there could have clean food and drinking water.

“It’s sad to see,” she said, adding that many people who live there are malnourished and have very different sanitation standards than we do.

She also started a birthday book program there, which she said was the platform of former Miss New Jersey Cara McCollum, who tragically passed away after a car accident last year. Since the children in Honduras don’t have exact birthdays, or much of anything to call their own, they would just pick a month they wanted to celebrate, then hold a fiesta and get to open a book.

Taking The Stage So what are pageants really like? There are a lot less rules than you think, at least at the county level. Besides age, that is. For Miss Ocean County Outstanding Teen, it’s 13 to 17 years without being a graduating senior. For Miss Ocean County, it’s 17 to 24 years without turning the age of 25 before December 31, 2018.

Olivia’s evening gown, which was a one-shouldered vision in white, came from her own creative mind. She likes designing, so she often creates the designs for her dresses.

“You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to get a gown and it shouldn’t be financially hard on a family,” said Suarez.

Geri and Olivia said it’s nice to see girls come out of their shells during the pageant process as they figure out what’s working and what’s not working, and tweak things like changing their outfit, or deciding to get healthier. Fortunately, the claws do not come out, as girls help each other and work with each other behind the scenes, especially during the teen pageant, which is more about mentoring and getting girls ready for college.

Olivia said it really is a sisterhood. She has competed in the Miss New Jersey pageant four times so far, and keeps in touch with girls at both the county and state level.

Although she will be aging out of this year’s Miss Ocean County competition, local teens and young women are invited to take the stage at the Surflight Theatre on Long Beach Island, which was generously offered as a venue for the November 5 Miss Ocean County Outstanding Teen pageant and December 3 Miss Ocean County pageant.

Through working with the American Legion, the first-ever Miss Veterans Day and Miss Veterans Day’s Outstanding Teen pageants will also be held. Those two competitions will still be open to girls and young women outside of Ocean County.

Orientations will be held at 1:30 p.m. at the Starlight Dance Studio in Manahawkin on Sunday, October 15 for Miss Ocean County Outstanding Teen and Miss Veteran’s Day Outstanding Teen, and on Sunday, November 12 for Miss Ocean County and Miss Veteran’s Day. To become a contestant, please contact 732-9980052 or missoceancounty@gmail.com or PO Box 283, Forked River, NJ 08731.

Local businesses should also reach out for information on how their financial assistance can help provide scholarships, or in regards to purchasing advertising in the pageant program book.

Habitat For Humanity Seeks Volunteers

OCEAN COUNTY – Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity is seeking volunteers to help in the ReStore (thrift store), both in the warehouse and store itself, to act as truck ambassadors (truck drivers), and for construction volunteers on our work sites.

All merchandise in the ReStore is from

donations – the proceeds go towards Habitat’s mission of seeking to ensure safe housing for seniors, veterans, and low income families. Northern Ocean Habitat has put over 60 victims of Hurricane Sandy back into their homes, and has helped over 100 families with their “A Brush With

Kindness” program which provides basic safety repairs.

Warehouse volunteers should be able to lift 50 pounds, work in a fun, fast-paced environment, and interact with our shoppers/ donors. ReStore volunteers are needed for pricing and arranging household items and

furniture, or working at the register. Truck drivers should have a valid driver’s license and be able to move furniture.

Please call Lizzie at 732-818-9500, ext.

110, email volunteercoordinator@nohfh. com, or visit 1201 Lakewood Road (Rt. 166), Toms River.

“Roll Up Your Sleeve” Annual Seasonal Flu Shot Campaign Is Coming To Berkeley Township IDENTICAL TWINS, IDENTICAL VISION

Identical twins, which come from the same fertilized egg, are of the same sex and have identical genetic constitution. This means that their eyes are as identical as their hair color. According to a study of 69 sets of twins (36 of whom were identical), researchers found that, even though some of the individuals were over age 50, the identical twins’ eyes were identical right down to the smallest details. This finding bolsters past research showing that about 80% of the variance in myopia (nearsightedness) and 50% of the variance of astigmatism (abnormal curvature of the cornea) is genetic in origin. The studies suggest that environmental factors do not exert as much of an effect on eyes as many believe.

Some eye diseases develop slowly without causing pain or vision loss. Early detection of any problems can reduce the risk of further harm and allow for a choice of treatment options. To schedule an eye exam, 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.

BERKELEY – “The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) will be offering its annual influenza (flu) and pneumonia shot program at several sites in Berkeley Township.

The 2017 seasonal flu shot theme this year is The Flu Ends with U. This points out that the flu shot will not only protect you, but that we each have a hand in protecting those around us,” stated Berkeley Township Mayor Carmen F. Amato, Jr. Mayor Amato points out that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends anyone over the age of 6 months get vaccinated against flu.

“Influenza is contagious and caused by the influenza virus, which can be spread by coughing, sneezing, or nasal secretions. Although anyone can get influenza, rates of infection are highest among children. Symptoms usually last only a few days in most people and include: fever, cough, sore throat, headaches, chills, muscle aches and fatigue.

There are other illnesses with the same symptoms and are often mistaken for flu.

Amato continued, “Infants, the elderly, pregnant women and people that have certain health conditions, such as lung, heart or kidney disease or those with a weakened immune system, can get much sicker if they have the flu. There are thousands of deaths each year due to seasonal flu and even more require hospitalization.”

He continued, “This year the Ocean County Health Department will be using a quadravalent vaccine, a combination of two strains of both A and B flu viruses.

Adding an additional strain of B virus to the vaccine aims to give broader protec-

tion against circulating flu viruses.

Medicare Part B covers the cost of a flu shot. The OCHD also offers the pneumonia shot, which is also covered

by Medicare Part B. For those without Medicare Part B, each shot costs $20.00.

A physician’s note or prescription is required for a pneumonia shot for those under the age of 65.

“Once again, the Ocean County Health Department is also offering the Live Healthy Ocean County program at several of their flu clinics, which include chronic disease screening services, Tdap and Shingles vaccination. Live Healthy Ocean County will be offered at the September 20th flu/pneu clinic at Holiday City Carefree.” Mayor Amato said.

“The “Live Healthy Ocean County” program entails chronic disease screening services, such as; blood pressure, stroke risk, osteoporosis, TDAP, shingles and body mass index.” Mayor Amato said.

For more information about flu shots, Live Healthy Ocean County and drug drop-off sites, call the OCHD at 732341-9700, or visit the OCHD website at ochd.org. You can also follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth or like us on Facebook.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of september 30 - October 6

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Put several irons into the fire. There’s no reason to limit your progress when you are capable of handling multiple tasks this week. Your creative ideas may come to the forefront but you may need someone else’s aid to make it work.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Stick with what works. Don’t waste time worrying over areas and aspects that you find difficult when you can excel by simply doing what you do well. Be aware you will be the center of attention in the week ahead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Speak from the heart. If you just say what you feel and don’t try to over think an issue, you’ll have no problem making a good impression in the week to come. Devote extra time to a hobby to provide a much-needed escape.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can’t have it both ways. This week both business and family may demand your attention and you’ll need to decide which has the greater priority. A close friend could be counted on to come through for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t get emotionally involved. Someone’s irrational behavior may have you ready to lose your cool this week, but if you can keep your temper in check the solution should become clear. Maintain an objective view of everything.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A good chess player anticipates his next move. Make decisions carefully in the week ahead, keeping in mind future events could have an impact on whatever choice

you make. Create a pleasant environment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Build it to last. As this week unfolds, when you make a commitment to something your word should be as good as gold.

Avoid just telling someone what they want to hear as no one will benefit in the long run.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Conventional wisdom may not apply. You may not get to the bottom of a problem unless you come up with a creative solution. Put good ideas to work this week, as they’ll do little good stuck in your head.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Share your thoughts. You may find satisfaction by expressing yourself through creative or artistic outlets this week. Others may gain insight into what makes you tick when you engage them in deep, meaningful discussions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put your own spin on it. While someone else’s methods may not work for you, there may be certain aspects of their ideas that you can put to good use. Don’t be too quick to make a final judgment this week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Give a loved one a long leash. Give someone near and dear the space to do what they want in the week ahead. Making too many demands could result in a rebellion.

A dream may not be too far-fetched.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): March to your own beat. What works for everyone else may not work for you this week. Follow your instincts and intuition. Others may mean well, but the advice you receive could steer you in the wrong direction.

Preteens And Teens Need To Be Updated On Immunizations OCEAN COUNTY – The health department is urging parents to make sure all preteens and teens get updated on their vaccines. They need four to protect against serious diseases: Quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine to protect against meningitis and blood infections.

HPV (human papilloma virus) vaccine to protect against cancers caused by HPV. Tdap vaccine to protect against tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough (pertussis).

A yearly flu vaccine to protect against seasonal flu.

Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator, said, “Teens and young adults may also be vaccinated with a serogroup B

meningococcal vaccine. Adolescents need vaccines because they are at increased risk for certain diseases like meningitis and cancer-causing HPV infections. It is important to get HPV vaccine before being exposed to HPV. Parents can send their preteens and teens to middle school and high school – and also off to college – protected from these vaccine-preventable diseases by ensuring their children are up to date on their vaccines.

Along with helping protect preteens and teens from certain diseases like the flu, being vaccinated also helps stop the spread of these diseases to others in their family, classroom and community.

Visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org for more information.

Take Control Of Your Health Workshop

OCEAN COUNTY – Suffer from a chronic health condition such as arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, depression or any other ongoing health condition?

To get more specific information about when and where a workshop will be held and to secure a place in the workshop, call Louanne at 732-281-8391.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen When Is A Schnitzel Not A Wiener Schnitzel?

When You Make It Holstein-Style!

By Wolfgang Puck

Food lovers talk a lot about “secret menus” at their favorite restaurants (usually fast-food places) that clue people in on all sorts of special variations they order - only if they know about them. But even at fi ne restaurants, like my original Spago in Beverly Hills, there are secret items that anyone with the inside knowledge can ask for. One of the biggest secrets is the fact that, whether it happens to be on the day’s menu or not, you can get a Wiener schnitzel, the thin, crisply breaded and deep-fried veal cutlet that’s a specialty of Austria’s capital, Vienna (or Wien in my native language).

I find it interesting, though, when people refer to the dish simply as a schnitzel, because that word is too broad to refer to the Viennese favorite alone. When translated, schnitzel means “little slice.” And in meaning it’s no different from the most common English equivalent: “cutlet.”

Like cutlets, schnitzels can be made from a wide variety of meats beyond veal, including pork, chicken and turkey; in fact, growing up, my mother and grandmother usually made them for us with pork, far less expensive than veal.

The variety doesn’t end there, either. There are also so many different styles of schnitzel recipes across Austria and Germany. Depending on the restaurant and the region, you might find dishes like zigeuner (gypsy-style) schnitzel sauteed with tomatoes, peppers, and onions; Munchner (Munich-style) schnitzel lightly spread with horseradish or mustard underneath its breadcrumb coating; Jager (hunter-style) schnitzel, smaller slices sauteed and served with a woodland mushroom sauce; and so many more.

One of my favorite schnitzels, however, is a Holsteiner version. It was first created in a Berlin restaurant in the late 19th century for an important customer, German statesman Friedrich von Holstein. It appears he liked rich, piquant flavors, for his schnitzel was first lightly floured and then sauteed in both butter and oil; then, the pan drippings were transformed into a sauce with chicken stock, concentrated veal stock (for which I substitute a little barbecue sauce), lemon juice and capers; and fi nally served topped with a fried egg and garnish of anchovy fillets (which you can certainly omit if you aren’t a fan).

I know this may all seem unusual at first. But think about it and you might suddenly realize that your mouth begins to water. Mine does.

It’s a delicious combination of flavors. It’s also much easier to make than a Wiener schnitzel, requiring no deep frying. I haven’t yet added it to any secret menus in my restaurants. But you never know...

HOLSTEI N ER SCH N ITZEL W ITH FRIED EGG Serves 4 4 boneless slices veal or pork cut from the leg

or loin, each 6 to 7 ounces (185 to 215 g) 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper About 3/4 cup (185 mL) vegetable oil 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter 4 large eggs 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality low-sodium store-bought chicken stock or broth 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 1/2 tablespoons good-quality bottled barbecue sauce 2 tablespoons drained capers 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh Italian parsley 16 anchovy fillets, patted dry with paper towels, optional First, pound and flatten the meat: Place a veal or pork slice in a large, heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Close the bag loosely. With the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the meat to a thin, even cutlet about 1/8-inch (3-mm) thick.

Repeat with the remaining meat.

Spread the flour on a large plate. Working with one cutlet at a time, season on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge both sides of each cutlet in flour, coating completely and then tapping off excess flour.

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300 F (150 C). Place a rack on a large rimmed baking sheet.

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter. With tongs, add a cutlet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook the other side. Transfer to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Cook the remaining 3 cutlets the same way, using a little more oil and butter as needed.

When you’ve finished cooking the meat, fry the eggs. Heat the remaining oil and all but 4 tablespoons of the remaining butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, swirling to blend. Sprinkle in some salt and pepper. When the butter foams, break each egg one at a time into a bowl and then slide it into the pan, spacing them apart. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft, 2 to 3 minutes, basting the tops of the eggs with the hot butter and oil as they cook.

Meanwhile, pour off and discard the fat from the skillet in which you cooked the cutlets. Return the skillet to the stove over medium-high heat and add the chicken stock, lemon juice and barbecue sauce, whisking to deglaze the pan deposits. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the capers and season to taste with pepper. Swirl in the parsley. Remove the skillet from the heat.

To serve, transfer the cutlets to individual serving plates. Top each with a fried egg, including some butter from the pan. Spoon the pan sauce and capers over and around each serving. Arrange the anchovies on top. Serve immediately.
