By Chris Christopher Welcome to the College Corner, a look at how former local high school athletes are faring at the collegiate level. Senior Kevin Veltre (Brick Memorial) was one of the top men’s cross country runners in NCAA Division III last season for the Rowan University Profs. And the former Mustang got off to a fast start this year, crossing the finish line for first place in 25:48.26 and leading the Profs past host Stockton University (College - See Page 8)

Landmark:
Continued From Page 1 owners before it was eventually donated to Howell Township by a MacKenzie family member in 1982. After that, the Howell Historical Society took over preserving the house and keeping it open to the public as a historical landmark. The library and museum houses records and historical documents, and has been the site for school tours, monthly meetings and an annual open house for the community to see artifacts from Howell’s agricultural past. Questions have been raised at council meetings throughout the past year as to whether or not the building has recently been open to the public. Now the Howell Her it age G roup, seemingly made up of members from the original Howell Historical Society, wants to take over the fundraising and restoration of the house, which according to engineers, is suffering from structural damage such as plaster cracks, sunken floors, and a dropped chimney. Tara Dolan, who joined the Howell Historical Society in 2003, spoke during the public hearing portion of the meeting and said she participated in fundraisers and school tours for 3rd grade children at the museum and library. She said those children have come up to her and said, “I remember you from the MacKenzie House.” While she understands that there’s certainly issues and money involved with restoring the home, she also feels the landmark contributed to the community, and that it’s extremely valuable to know the history of where you came from. Virginia Woolley, who said she was the historical society member who worked to organize and put the museum together when it was fi rst donated, expressed her frustration with the lack of progress, and wondered why the building no longer has a 501c tax exempt number on it. “How can we raise money? No one’s going to give big donations when they can’t claim it,” she said. Councilwoman Evelyn O’Donnell spoke passionately about the cause and hoped to do something positive, saying she was previously a member of the Howell Historical Society. She said the tax ID number had been revoked because the

Sargent Michael Popek and Patrolmen Ryan Lowe and Ray Tillotson were at the scene in minutes and started searching through the woods armed with fi rst aid equipment. But Allaire State Park is massive and dispatchers were using GPS location to direct officers to the scene. As the officers continued to search, a young, male
historical society had not kept up with the house, and now that this new group wants to help restore the house, they might need permission. O’Donnell said the house was given to the township by the MacKenzie family with the idea that it would be kept open as a museum and library for the community, and that technically, the family could ask for the house back if it’s not being used that way. “T h is is so disjoi nted ,” she said , frustrated. Councilman Robert Walsh pointed out repeatedly that the same conversation came up 12 years ago, and nothing was done then to restore the house then either. “We have people that want to volunteer their time, people that want to do with the house as it was given to the town, they want to fulfi ll the MacKenzie wishes, and somehow this isn’t able to happen,” said O’Donnell. Mayor Theresa Berger suggested that the most logical thing to happen would be to invite the Howell Heritage Society and the Howell Historical Society to come together as one group and form a new 501c. According to Community Development Director Jim Herrman, after a historic architect and structural engineer examined the MacKenzie structure, three phases of construction were mapped out based on priority. In total, they amount to $150,000. It becomes a question of whether council will choose to spend taxpayer dollars on restoring the landmark, or pursue volunteer opportunities in order to raise the funds. Deputy Mayor Robert Nicastro said since volunteers won’t legally be able to do any work inside the house because they are such major repairs, they can at least help raise the funds. “We all understand the issue,” he said, adding that within the capital budget if there is a shortfall, they would be able to make improvements to at least make it safe for children to go inside the house again. Mayor Berger and other officials urged the Howell Heritage Group to move forward with pursuing a 501c tax exempt number, as it can take months to obtain. Still, Woolley said she would feel better if she could just get inside the building and clean up a little, and maybe stop things from getting moldy.

Wall Police and State Park Police officers were also at the scene when the Howell Police officers arrived with the good Samaritan. The officers then carried the patient to a trail where a Ramtown Fire Department brush truck was standing by, which then transported him to a waiting Howell Police ambulance, and then to Jersey Shore University Medical Center for treatment. The coordinated efforts between the police departments, quick-thinking friends and the good Samaritan in the park greatly helped provide immediate care to this individual.

Howell Teens Wreak Havoc On Pointe O’ Woods By Sara Grillo HOWELL – A string of recent vandalism in the Pointe O’ Woods residential development off Bergerville Road climaxed with the arrest of two Howell 16-year-olds on September 26. Howell Police said residents in the sin-
gle-family condo and townhouse development were becoming troubled and police patrols in the area increased in an attempt to prevent future crimes and catch those responsible. The Pointe O’ Woods association management recently issued a letter to residents alerting them of “several profound
acts of escalating vandalism and theft” and to call the police with any information. The incidents, which took place in the timeframe of August 21 to 24 and on September 17, involved the teens allegedly breaking into the association’s maintenance garage, stealing a golf cart, then taking it for a ride
and running over several neighborhood street signs. They also supposedly poured tar down a storm drain, tore street signs out of the ground, threw lawn ornaments onto rooftops and tossed outdoor furniture into the association’s community pool. When the stolen golf cart was eventually located, found abandoned in a nearby mobile home community, it was severely damaged. Detectives Eric Encarnacion, David Gilliland and TJ Hurley investigated the incidents and developed suspects that led to arrests of the two juveniles, who have since been released to their parents. The teens were charged with burglary, theft and criminal mischief, and the case has now been forwarded to the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Juvenile Division. The investigation is still ongoing and more arrests are likely over the next few days. The Howell Police Department thanks members of the public who provided information and tips that helped solve these cases. Anyone wishing to provide an anonymous tip can do so via p3tips.com.

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. Elizabeth Schuckman Brick

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. Rosemary Doherty Berkeley

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.

Middletown Family Raises Over $600K For Pediatric Cancer Research
Freeholder Forum by Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone As an elected official, you have the chance to meet hundreds of people during your tenure. I would like to share a story about a few special people I had the honor of recently meeting in person during a meeting of the Board of Chosen Freeholders. It all started a couple weeks ago when I was reading
through a local newspaper and came across a story about a charity event held to raise funds for pediatric cancer research. As part of the fundraiser, members of the community, including first responders, volunteered to have their heads shaved by children. Helping to coordinate the event was the
Gorsegner family of Middletown. What I learned through the story was how pediatric cancer personally affected the Gorsegner family. Their daughter, Natalie, was diagnosed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at just 3 years old. However, I am happy to announce Natalie will soon be turning 8 years old and celebrating her third year in remission in November. Soon after her daughter’s diagnosis, Andrea Gorsegner founded the nonprofit Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer. Since its inception, this nonprofit has raised more than $600,000 for pediatric
cancer research. Once I read this story, I asked the Gorsegner family if they would attend our Board of Chosen Freeholders meeting as part of our efforts to recognize September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. I think I can speak for my fellow Freeholders in saying it was a true honor and privilege to meet such a wonderful family who created such a positive force out of a negative situation. It was an honor to meet Natalie and her big sister, Hannah, who has shaved her own head in support of her sister and to raise awareness for several years in a row.
It was truly a touching moment to see the positivity this family had and how they are willing to continue their work to help other children still facing this terrible disease. On another similar note, I would also like to talk about another cause that is very special to me – raising funds for pancreatic cancer research. As you may know, I’m part of the committee for the annual Pound the Pavement for Purple 5k and 2-mile run in Neptune for the last three years. The race is held in cooperation with the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and Neptune
Township. I am excited to announce our fourth annual race will return on Saturday, October 7 and will be starting and ending at The Headliner in Neptune. As it is every year, the race beneficiary will be the Lustgarten Foundation. In closing, I would like to say how proud I am to live in a county where we have so many people and groups doing tremendous things and raising awareness and funds for so many important causes. It is truly an honor to serve as a Monmouth County Freeholder. Sincerely, Tom Arnone
Ocean County To Receive Federal Support To Combat Drug Trafficking NEW JERSEY – Rep. Chris Smith (R–NJ) today congratulated Ocean County on being selected to receive Federal resources to better coordinate drug control efforts among Federal, State and local law enforcement entities by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). The designation, known as High Intensity Drug
Trafficking Areas (HIDTA), provides funding and expertise in the battle against drug traffickers. “The opioid epidemic that is occurring here in our back yard is not a problem that can be addressed by a single agency—it will take cooperation throughout all levels of law enforcement,” said Smith. “This
designation is a critical step in getting the drugs – and drug traffickers – off of the streets.” The HIDTA program was created by Congress in 1988 by the “Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988,” legislation supported by Smith. ONDCP, which operates the HIDTA program, describes it as a catalyst for coordination among Federal,
state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies operating in areas determined to be critical drug trafficking regions of the United States. Law enforcement organizations working within HIDTAs assess drug-trafficking problems and design specific initiatives to decrease the production, transportation and distribution
of drugs. “We have long sought the help of this federal drug prevention program to bolster our ability to make substantial impact in our fight to close Ocean County borders to drug dealers,” said Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato. “Simply put: This is a game changer.”
In addition, Smith announced his co-Sponsorship of the “Road to Recovery Act” (H.R. 2938). H.R. 2938 is bipartisan legislation that eliminates the exclusion for substance use disorder under Medicaid Institutions for Mental Diseases and helps states expand access to inpatient treatment for its employees.
Senator Singer Named Legislator Of The Year By NJ Chamber Of Commerce NEW JERSEY – Senator Robert Singer (R-Monmouth, Ocean) has been named a “Legislator of the Year” by the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce. Singer was chosen for the biannual award based on his successful efforts to empower small businesses and advance tax reforms that will benefit residents and entrepreneurs statewide. “I am extremely honored and
grateful to the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce for this prestigious award,” Senator Singer said. “We cannot keep our promise to make New Jersey a better, more affordable place to live, work and retire without making a solid investment in our small business owners and budding entrepreneurs. They are truly the backbone of our economy and they deserve our unwavering support.”
The Chamber lauded Senator Singer for sponsoring several pro-business bills, and for his support of a landmark tax reform package that eliminated the regressive estate tax while replenishing the Transportation Trust Fund. “The State Chamber applauds and congratulates the strong advocacy of Senator Singer during the 217th Legislative Session in
helping us with our priorities in improving the economy, retaining and creating jobs and enhancing the overall business climate of New Jersey,” Tom Bracken, President of the NJ State Chamber of Commerce said. “We especially recognize and appreciate Senator Singer’s support for the replenishment of the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund and the passage of the comprehensive tax
reform package that will go a long way in achieving those priorities.” Senator Singer, along with the four other state legislators chosen for the biannual award, will be officially recognized at the New Jersey Chamber’s Legislative Awards Reception on Oct. 11 at the Bank of America Hopewell Conference Center in Pennington beginning at 5 p.m. “We made great progress this
year on tax reform, but there is still so much more we can do from a legislative perspective to make New Jersey a more friendly place to grow or start a business,” Senator Singer added. “I will continue to work tirelessly on a bipartisan basis to cut red tape and enact policies that encourage innovators to set up shop in the Garden State and create good-paying jobs for our residents.”
Lessons From Sandy Can Help Those Affected By Hurricane Harvey
Freeholder Forum by Freeholder Lillian G. Burry FREEHOLD – Monmouth County Freeholder Director Lillian G. Burry offered up the following statement and details on how to help Texas residents affected by Hurricane Harvey: “On behalf of Board of Chosen Freeholders, I offer our heartfelt
sympathies to the residents of Houston and the numerous surrounding communities who are suffering in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. Just five short years ago, Superstorm Sandy ravaged our beautiful Monmouth County
shoreline, thrusting our residents into a battle against Mother Nature and a complex and burdensome Federal aid and flood insurance system. Our communities are resilient and through hard work and perseverance our Jersey Shore has come back better than ever. The many lessons learned during Sandy can serve as a blueprint now for the recovery of Texas. We remember how incredibly helpful surrounding municipalities, cities, and states were in providing much needed help to affected areas.
We were humbled by the outpouring of support and we will never forget how grateful we were for those who stepped up with labor, food, infrastructure support, or monetary donations. Now it is time for New Jersey to lend a hand. Our state’s own Task Force – 1, trained in National Urban Search & Rescue procedures is already on the ground in the Lone Star state. The Monmouth County Office of Emergency Management under the direction of Sheriff Shaun Golden and OEM Coor-
dinator Mike Oppegaard, has been monitoring the situation in Texas and has received word on how best we can help those in need. The American Red Cross at redcross.org has been working to collect financial and other assistance and the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD) at nvoad.org is also coordinating efforts for those looking to provide aid. In addition we have seen numerous local organizations, including churches, service
organizations, and schools putting together care packages to send to the area as well as individuals stepping up to help foster displaced animals from the region. Be sure to thoroughly research independent organizations before donating any money or providing your financial information. I know I speak for my fellow Freeholders when I say we are so proud of our communities and the selfless way our residents have responded to our fellow Americans in need. Thank you.”

Vikings compete: Ocean County College freshman Kyle Sarno (Barnegat) and Jessica Reis (North) placed 11th and 10th, respectively, in the men’s and women’s cross country 8K races at the Duke’s Invitational at Cumberland County College. The men’s event consisted of nearly 70 runners. A total of 32 athletes competed in the women’s event. Ignatowicz signs: Former Toms River South and Rowan standout Vinny Ignatowicz has signed a professional contract to play for the Philadelphia Fury of the American Soccer League. He played for the Profs from 2013-16. He scored 46 points on 17 goals and 12 assists in 68 career games (59 starts). He put home five match-winning goals. He was named to the 2016 All-New Jersey Athletic Conference first team and received honorable mention in 2014. He was a team captain and a National Soccer Coaches Association of America South Atlantic All-Region second team selection as a senior. Rowan twice advanced to the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament during his time with the team. (College - See Page 9)

Howell officials had requested that a ny f ut u re meet i ngs rega rd i ng t he transfer site be held in Howell moving forward. But Herrman reported that the two potential applicants who would be heard before the Solid Waste Advisory Council (SWAC) board at the next meeting, on September 28, had not satisfied their initial requirements. That means the meeting will not be held in Howell, as there is no Howell case on the agenda that night. Herrman explained that SWAC is the body that governs the potential solid waste t ransfer facilit y on Randolph Road and the class B recycling facility on Yellowbrick Road that have been proposed by two separate entities.

We are cleaning roads that are heavily traveled and hit hard with trash. Clean Communities is also interested in businesses cleaning and possibly adopting a jug handle. All interested parties should contact Laurie Dunwoody at Town Hall at 732-938-4500, ext. 2452 or by email at dpwoffice@twp. howell.nj.us. Please register by October 10. Adopt-A-Road groups may pick up supplies the week of 10/16. Supplies include guidelines, safety rules and data cards.

Local Women To Join Mega Challah Bake Event
FREEHOLD – For some it will be a new experience while for others it will be a familiar weekly ritual. But when hundreds of Jewish women gather at the Radisson Hotel, 50 Gibson Place on October 26, everyone will share a powerful spiritual experience. The event, which will begin with registration at 6 p.m., is jointly hosted by the Chabads of Western Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Keep Calm and Bake On – The Tranquility of Shabbos (the Sabbath) is the theme of the upcoming event. Entertainment will be provided by singer Elana Bohm, Colts Neck, who will sing a Jewish song about the importance of each individual. Jewish humorist Devorah Lewis will perform while the challah dough is rising. “This type of event empowers women in the sense that we can feel that we are part of something much bigger, united with Jewish women in our town and Jewish women throughout the world,” said Tova Chazanow, co-director of Chabad of Western Monmouth County. “It’s a beautiful show of unity for all sections of the Jewish community to come together, drawing women from all affiliations.” The event is for women only because challah is specifically a “mitzvah” (a commandment or good deed performed out
T
of religious duty) for women, explained Chana’le Wolosow of Chabad of Western Monmouth County. “When a woman prepares challah,” she added, “all channels are open for her to ask for the blessings she needs in her life and in others’ lives. Sara Schapiro of Chabad of Western Monmouth County said she has held challah-making demonstrations in the past, but doing this as a large, area-wide event is extra special. “There is so much power when so many women are doing this together,” she noted. The ballroom will be elegantly set with premeasured ingredients at each place. Each woman will mix her own dough, wait for it to rise, and then learn how to separate and shape the dough into two braided challahs. The loaves will be taken home for baking and enjoyment the following evening, which will be the Sabbath. Tickets for the event will be $25 before October 10 and $36 following that date. Sponsorship opportunities are available. Reservations are required and names of people to be included in prayers can be added to your reservation. For more information and to make reservations go to challahbakenj.com.

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 888-280-6055. 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.

Sheriff Golden Encourages Child Safety Through Seek 9-1-1 Program
–Photo courtesy Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office First grade students learn how to dial 9-1-1 properly through SEEK – Sheriff’s Emergency Education for Kids. MONMOUTH COUNTY – Now that school is in session, Sheriff Shaun Golden is pleased to be bringing back the Monmouth County Sheriff ’s Office SEEK (Sheriff’s Emergency Education for Kids) 9-1-1 program, which teaches first grade students how to dial 9-1-1 properly. On September 12 and September 19, first graders from the Bradley Beach Elementary School and Spring Lake Heights Elementary School, respectively, were presented with SEEK 9-1-1, which is offered to elementary schools throughout Monmouth County. “The importance of using the 9-1-1 emergency call number is vital to public safety,” said Sheriff Shaun Golden. “The goal of SEEK 9-1-1 is to teach children how to get help quickly for their own safety and for their families.” The SEEK 9-1-1 program includes a fun video featuring animated characters who learn how the 9-1-1 system works. Instructors who conduct the program through the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office gives the students an overview of when to dial 9-1-1, and, provides them with a hands
on interactive session using telephone simulators to role play various emergency scenarios. Scenarios include what happens when a child hangs up without speaking to a 9-1-1 public safety telecommunicator, handling an injury, what to do if you are home alone and see a prowler and when it is not appropriate to call 9- 1-1. The Monmouth County 9-1-1 Communications Center serves 45 municipalities and two government installations and receives approximately 1,600 calls per day. A large percentage of the 9-1-1 calls received are wrong numbers, prank calls, hang ups or non-emergencies. During the presentation, SEEK 9-1-1 instructors emphasize the appropriate times to call 9-1-1 and when other non-emergency phone numbers should be used. “The Sheriff’s Office is committed to safety and youth education and we’re proud to make the SEEK 9- 1-1 program available to all elementary schools in Monmouth County,” said Sheriff Golden. “It’s important for students and adults to remember to SEEK 9-1-1 during an emergency.”

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.

MONMOUTH COUNTY – The Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office has dedicated members of TEEN CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) who took the time to learn about and participate in National Preparedness Month this September. The team recently rolled up their sleeves and got to work by assisting in the National PrepareAthon and also helped out in the emergency management warehouse, where
they organized and inventoried emergency supplies and equipment. That detail provided TEEN CERT members with an insight and understanding of the supplies and equipment the MCSONJ’s Office of Emergency has and how it support emergencies. This knowledge is important since one of TEEN CERT’s missions during an emergency will be to help set up these resources.

–Photo by Judy Smestad-Nunn The nurses’ station and patient rooms feature state-of-the-art technology and aesthetic choices meant to provide a comfortable visit. By Judy Smestad-Nunn
BRICK – Ocean Medical Center in Brick now has an $18.5 million state-of-the-art medical-surgical suite, which is the latest addition to a master facility plan developed five years ago. This expansion comes on the heels of an expansion of the Emergency Care Center in 2014 and the construction of a new Cancer Care Center in 2016. A ceremony and ribbon-cutting was held for the new 36,000-square-foot “Southwest Pavilion” on Tuesday September 12, which was held under an outdoor tent and attended by nearly 200 stakeholders, including Hackensack Meridian Health leadership, hospital employees, leadership from Ocean Medical Center Foundation, and elected officials. In his opening remarks, President of Ocean Medical Center Dean Q. Lin said that the new medical-surgical floor is uniquely designed to bring “humanity to healthcare.” The floor has 36 private patient rooms dedicated to elective surgeries, such as joint and hip replacements and bariatric and GI procedures. The new suite is divided into three “neighborhoods” that feature distinctive colors and a curved nurses’ station that enhances nurses’ line of sight into patient rooms. Each room has modern amenities, such as in-room speaker systems, pull-out couches for family members to stay overnight, oversized windows to bring in more natural light, noise-reducing design features, computers that face the patients to increase transparency, and much more. “We want to change the perception of what healthcare means,” Lin said. “The Southwest Pavilion will bring a culture of love and compassion, and we hope to instill a sense of humanity in future physicians,” he said. Next year Hackensack Meridian Health Ocean Medical Center will host the first group of medical school residents who are studying to
be internists, family practitioners and psychiatrists, he said. Robert C. Garrett and John K. Lloyd, who are the Co-Chief Executive officers of Hackensack Meridian Health, also attended the grand opening ceremony. Garrett said that the Cancer Care Center has a partnership with Sloan Kettering and it has adapted 100 of their clinical protocols. “Patients no longer have to travel to the city to get the very best cancer care,” he said. Lloyd said the expansion of the Emergency Care Center was made possible by a $5 million donation by the Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Foundation. “That $5 million was very important for us, and it speaks volumes about what the community thinks about the new facility here,” he said. Lin said the decision to expand was a big one, since hospitals are closing and beds are shrinking nationwide. “Now we’re in a position to serve this community, which has grown in leaps and bounds over the years,” he said. An average of 175 people show up at the emergency room each day, he added. The final speaker was Robert G. Harms, Chair of the Ocean Medical Center Foundation, a tax-exempt nonprofit group of volunteers who provide philanthropic support for the hospital. Harms said that the foundation has raised some $116 million for the three additions. The Foundation would be spending some $5 million to renovate 80 of the 300 existing rooms at the hospital in the near future, Harms said. After the ribbon-cutting, Lin said that next on the master facility plan is a cardiovascular institute to be housed on the second floor, which is currently empty. “We’d like to have an integrated heart and vascular program with interventional radiology and a cath lab, and three or four hybrid operating rooms,” he said. “But it’s still in the planning stages.”

Runners Return For Semper Five Run
By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Around 2,000 r unners par ticipated in the Sept. 16 Semper Five Run, a 5 kilometer race to benefit a U.S. Marine Corps charity which saw tremendous security precautions and a change of locale in the wake of last year’s terrorist bombing incident. That Sept. 17, 2016 incident involved a pipe bomb which exploded in a trash container in Seaside Park along the course route. Later that day, a homem a d e p r e s s u r e c o o ke r b o m b we nt off in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. A second pressure cooker bomb was found four blocks away. The Semper Five website featured the following post: “The motto of the Marine Raiders is “Spiritus Invictus” meaning Unconquerable Spirit. It is w it h t h is u ny ield i ng for t it ude t hat the 4th Annual Seaside Semper Five returns following last year’s terrorist bombing. Undeterred and committed to serving those who serve our country, this year’s race will be bigger and better than ever. The new course in Seaside Heights has been designed to accommodate the significantly greater anticipated number of runners.” T h i s ye a r’s eve nt s aw i nc r e a se d security personnel in the form of Seaside Heights police, members of the Ocean County Sheriff ’ Depar tment, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, NJ St ate Police a nd Ocea n Cou nt y Sheriff’s Department K9 Units, Office of Homeland Security Division of the New Jersey State Police, FBI, NJ State Police Mar ines and NJ State Police Aviation Drone officers. “It is incredible how much security we have here on land, sea and air,” Seaside Heights Police Chief Thomas Boyd said prior to the start of the race. Seaside Heights Mayor Anthony Vaz said that the event went without a hitch. “It was excellent. There were approximately 2,000 runners and security was at its highest level. We like hosting this event as we support the mission of the event. We are not afraid of terrorists and we will not let them stop us.” The route ran in an “L” formation from Dupont Avenue to Hiering Avenue and back again according to one Ocean County Sheriff ’s Depar tment officer. The course included about nine blocks of the borough and was carefully monitored by police that observed the activity from the air in the form of helicopters and drones, officers on the beach and at various points along the course. The race started at 9 a.m. but the borough was also hosting another event, the annual “Barbeque At Sea,” which was located off the boardwalk. That event was also subject to a security check according to a member of the
Ocean County Sheriff’s Department. “This was a great race and it went very well,” said Jen Allen from Mount Holly. This marked her first time running in the Semper Five Run. “I knew it would be safe and I really had no concerns. We weren’t given the route until just before it started.” “I’ve been running at events like this before and I really enjoyed this experience. I don’t know my time yet but I know I didn’t win a medal but it was a good time,” Allen said. Randy Faiges, Bayville, took second place. This also marked his first year running in the Semper Five. The 26-year-old runner said he often runs in area events like this and was pleased how it was coordinated. “I think it went very well and while I was aware of what happened last year I felt there was a so much security around that I’d be safe. I saw cops everywhere throughout the run. It was pretty crowded on the boardwalk as we ran and there were also a lot of runners in the event,” Faiges said. The big winner of the day was Brick resident Dianne DeOlivera, whose fast pace is well known in runner circles. “It didn’t matter if I won or lost; it really is about the cause,” she said prior to the event. DeOlivera came in first place. She had also been present at last year’s event. Walter Hrycenko, Toms River, was involved in the coordination of the event. He was busy assisting with registration. “We had just a little under 2,000 runners and it went very good. We had a great amount of cooperation with the town, county and they really helped us out.” Hrycenko added that planning of the event involved a 20-member committee headed by Tom Costello. He said the planning involved several meetings held throughout the year where security concerns and other logistics were addressed. He said this marked the fourth year for the event, which benefits the M ARSOC Foundation that suppor ts U.S. Marines who have been injured and assists families of Marines. U.S. Marine Colonel Nick Vavich of the command office of the Marine Support Group at MARSOC was present at the event and was very pleased with the outcome. “My overall feeling is amazement at the support of the community and the level of genuine pat r iotism and community spirit. It was not just f lag waving but a real sense of care for one’s neighbors and their suppor t,” Vavich said. “I met with many veterans who served in Vietnam and World War II today,” Vavich said as he was per iodically stopped by people stopping to thank him for his service to the nation and shaking his hand. “It really was a great day.”

Manchester Home To Ms. New Jersey Senior America
–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. 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 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.

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.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen When Is A Schnitzel Not A Wiener Schnitzel? When You Make It Holstein-Style! By Wolfgang Puck HOLSTEINER SCHNITZEL WITH 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 (3mm) 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.
