By Sara Grillo s the Affordable Care Act remai n s steadfast but on shaky ground, it is only a matter of days before millions of Americans need to sign up to be covered next year. Open enrollment for marketplace healthcare is from November 1 to December 15 for health plans that start coverage January 1,
2018. Previously, open enrollment lasted for a three-month period, beginning on November 1 and lasting through January 31. The change, according to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, was made to align better with Medicare and the private market, but some states that operate their own health insurance exchanges, such as New York, have elected

Manchester Police K-9 Unit Needs Your Votes By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Manchester Police needs votes for a worthy canine cause. The K-9 Unit is in the running for up to $5,000 being offered by the Aftermath K-9 Grant. The grant money is being awarded based on the amount of votes each police department receives. Residents can vote by visiting after math.com/ k9-g rant and
choosing “Manchester Township Police Department, NJ.” There are a few other Manchester police departments listed in other states, so be careful when voting. Money will go toward K-9 programs and can be used for maintenance, safety equipment or officer training. Voting ends on November 7 and winners will be announced on (Police - See Page 5)
September, administrator Carl Block said. The worst damage was on the first floor, when a pipe separated from a joint, leaking sewage into a courtroom, which spread to other courtrooms. There was also one room on the second floor affected, and several on the third.
It’s believed that the cause of the break was an inmate in the fourth floor jail flushing items down the toilet. Five out of the seven courtrooms wound up being closed for cleanup, he said. They were all back to being used on Oct. 10. (Complex - See Page 5)
Freeholder Candidates Talk Taxes, Environment, And Drug Epidemic
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – There are three candidates seeking a single, three-year term. In alphabetical order, the candidates are Barry Bendar (Green Party), Helen Dela Cruz (Democrat), and incumbent Joseph
Vicari (Republican). Bendar, an Information Technology Professional for 38 years, is currently a database administrator for a large health care company in New Jersey. As a third party candidate, he said that res-
idents need a better option than the current two parties, who he said work “hand in glove” with each other. This two-party system has led to some of the best things in Ocean County being ruined. (Talk - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 Being separate from them means that he does not owe anyone any favors, and will only serve the people. “I will look out for the well-being of all Citizens of Ocean County, not just the political bosses and those politically connected (dump the “friends and family” plan),” he said. This kind of corruption has cost taxpayers. As an environmentalist, he said he will enforce new regulations that will address development projects consistently throughout all towns in Ocean County, with the goal being the preservation of the Barnegat Bay. Additionally, he said he would remove the county’s representative to the Pinelands Commission for “violating his oath to protect the Pine Barrens.” Those who opposed a gas pipeline that is coming to a station in Manchester have called for the removal of the county’s representative to the Pinelands Commission, since he was one of the votes that would allow the pipeline. The county, and even the state, needs to work toward green manufacturing, “which will help save what’s left of our environment while creating sustainable jobs.” Other promises include making sure no Ocean County resident goes homeless and building a relationship with neighboring counties. “Having been active in Ocean County
politics since 2003, I have seen firsthand that the relationship between the two major parties in New Jersey is not healthy for the average resident,” he said. “Political corruption is a pet peeve of mine and when elected, I will work tirelessly to bring the rampant amount ongoing in Ocean County to light.” Dela Cruz served as a committeewoman in Lacey for three separate, three-year terms. These were: 19951997, 2004-2006, and 2011-2013. “As a Lacey Committeewoman, I was liaison to the Economic Development Council and Board of Health (Public Health Services), Seniors Advisory Group, and the Municipal Alliance.” She is an active member of Lacey United Methodist Church, also serving as a former trustee, and member of the nominations committee. “The two biggest issues facing Ocean County are taxes and drug addiction,” she said. “I plan on stabilizing taxes by examining current spending and prioritizing future expenditures. I will propose a 2% spending cut in each department.” Dela Cruz was a franchisee for 7-Eleven from 1987 to 2002. She is a nurse at Mount Sinai Beth Israel in New York Cit y, with a specialt y in addictions nursing. “I will help take out the stigma from drug addiction through better education of the public and will also seek to expand drug treatment programs and make them more accessible for those in need,” she said.
Cultural Society of Ocean County, and UNICO. The main issues in Ocean County are taxes, substance abuse, and the economy. He said he plans on continuing to hold the line on the tax rate, and ensuring the county’s AAA bond rating, which provides the best credit rate in borrowing. “There are never any surprises in the county budget. We have kept our tax rate stable because we can carefully plan not just for today, but for the future,” he said. Part of the drug issue comes from rehabilitation, but part of it is from enhancing counseling within the community and schools. Education is also the key to growing the economy, he said. “As liaison to the OC Vocational-Technical Schools, I am implementing a new specialized training program for students about to enter or re-enter the work force,” he said. It will “work with local businesses to provide the kinds of training that employers are looking for in new hires.” He also said he is working with professionals in the county to welcome and develop new businesses in Ocean County, “therefore increasing ratables, job opportunities, and to strengthen our local economy.” There are some problems, like the Route 9 corridor, that are state issues. He said he will continue to lobby Trenton to widen Route 9. “I have worked hard to provide our residents with the outstanding services they deserve while keeping the cost of government in check,” he said.

Public access to the Freeholders are another issue for her. Freeholder meetings are held in downtown Toms River at 4 p.m., when many people are at work. She would move them to 7 p.m. so more members of the public can attend. “I also will propose having eight Freeholder meetings a year in different locations around the county, in order that residents that live farther away from Toms River can more easily attend,” she said. “I will be the fresh voice on the Freeholder Board. For more than 25 years, there has been only one group represented on the Board. I will represent the residents of Ocean County, with compassion and integrity. I will speak up and stand up for them, and will block any effort that calls for outrageous spending and irresponsible borrowing. I will report to the people what goes on in the backroom,” she said. Vicari has been a freeholder since 1982. He has also served on the Dover Township Committee (currently called the Toms River Township Council) from 1979 to 1994, serving as mayor for five one-year terms. He has also been the Dover Township Police Commissioner, superintendent of Berkeley Township School District, and a teacher and principal in Brick. He received the March of Dimes Franklin award for chairing the annual Walk America for 16 years, and has been named “Man of the Year” by the Columbia Civic League, the Italian-American

to help with people who have disabilities or who don’t have access to a laptop or internet at home. Four of them will be able to provide assistance in Spanish. Although open enrollment offers yearround coverage for 2018, there are also special enrollment periods – such as getting married, having a baby, losing your job or gaining citizenship – where you would not have to wait until the following November to get coverage. Fulfill offers help throughout the year for those special coverage periods as well. Healthcare Navigators will be available at locations throughout Ocean and Monmouth counties during the open enrollment period: • The B.E.A.T. Center, 1769 Hooper Ave. in Toms River – Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, November 1 through December 15 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; later by appointment • Freehold Raceway Mall Financial Success Center in Freehold, next to Macy’s on the first floor – Every Tuesday and Wednesday, November 1 through December 15 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Attendees should bring addresses, social security numbers, employer/income information (W-2s, pay stubs, wage/tax statements) and current health/job-based insurance information. For additional locations, dates and times, call Fulfill at 732-643-5888 or visit fulfillnj. org/get-help/#healthcare. For more information about affordable healthcare insurance, visit healthcare.gov.
Complex:
There is a new jail addition that had been built recently, Block said. The new area has newer toilets and pipes so that something like this wouldn’t happen. The older parts of the jail, where the items were flushed, will now be fitted with new toilets. New flooring and security measures will also be installed. After the contractor finishes work, they run tests to make sure the area is clean, he said. The county will be having other tests done independently of this to confirm it. An ordinance appropriating $2 million was introduced at the Oct. 4 Freeholders meeting. This will take care of all of the planned work.
Continued From Page 1 to extend the open enrollment period beyond the Dec. 15 cutoff. Fulfill, formerly the Foodbank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, is offering residents of both counties some relief in what can be an overwhelming process of signing up for and choosing a health plan within the marketplace. Barbara Scholz, Director of Advocacy and Programs at Fulfill, said that one of the ways the nonprofit is fighting hunger is through affordable healthcare. Healthcare Navigators will be at various locations throughout the area during open enrollment to help guide people through the now shortened process. Healthcare Navigators are certified by the federal government, knowledgeable about policies and terms, and can help consumers fi nd policies that are appropriate and affordable for them. Scholz said a navigator will log onto the marketplace website (healthcare.gov) with a consumer and walk them through the process, showing them how to set up a username and password, answer questions, and either submit the application right away, or save it for later if they need time to discuss it with family members. “People have to consider which plans are the best for them and that’s something the Navigator can help them with as well,” said Scholz. She said the 9 Navigators are also there
Continued From Page 1 The third floor had a renovation being planned. The Sheriff’s Department, which is on that floor, has relocated during this and will return after the planned renovation is complete, he said. Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said there had been problems over a number of years with pipes on that facility, and that his staff had complained about it. The department is going to work in different offices until everything is cleaned up and the renovation is complete.

By Sara Grillo ASBURY PARK – On Sunday, October 1, nearly 1,200 people from Monmouth and Ocean County showed up to the Asbury Park Boardwalk for the American Heart Association’s Shoreline Heart Walk, which raised over $175,000 for heart and stroke research and education. Participants walked the revitalized boardwalk for either 1 or 3 miles and took part in activities focused in cardiovascular wellness, such as health screenings and demonstrations in CPR, exercise and nutrition. Leading the walk were local survivor ambassadors, including Toni DiRienzo of Lakewood, Howard Schoor of Asbury Park – both heart disease survivors – and Catherine Zalewski of Marlboro, a two-time stroke survivor. They each shared their personal and touching stories with walk participants during the opening ceremony. “I was honored to support the Shoreline Heart Walk this year with my family and friends,” said Zalewski. “It was heartwarming to see the Jersey Shore community come together to support this life-saving cause.” The Shoreline Health Walk was sponsored
locally by Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey Natural Gas, RWJBarnabas Health, Marquis Rehab, Howard Schoor Art, as well as media sponsors WBJB 90.5, 105.7, The Hawk, Beach Radio, 92.7 WOBM and 94.3 The Point. “The Shoreline Heart Walk was a huge success for supporting heart and stroke research,” stated Brett Sealove, MD, FACC, RPVI, cardiologist and partner at Monmouth Cardiology Associates and chair of the 2017 Shoreline Heart Walk. “We hope that all walk participants learned more about heart and stroke risks and will take steps to live Healthy For Good in our communities.” The American Heart Association recently launched a Healthy For Good movement aimed at providing evidence-based healthy living recommendations for families. The initiative circulates around four key areas – Eat Smart, Add Color, Move More and Be Well. To donate to the Shoreline Heart Walk, visit ShorelineHeartWalk.org.

Gridiron Gossip: High School Stars Go For Extra Yards In College

By Sara Grillo MANAHAWKIN – Every year, students from the Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science (MATES) in Manahawkin hold a Turkey Trot race. This year, students renamed the annual run to a ‘Tropical Trot’ to raise money for relief efforts in the recently hurricane-ravaged regions of Texas, Florida and the Caribbean. On October 7, 94 MATES students took part in the run. With the help of physical education teachers Brian Coen and Sean McAndrew, the Tropical Trot raised $2,500 and the money will be donated to the
Jetty Rock Foundation, which is currently donating money to relief efforts in the affected areas. Local businesses Jetty, Farias Surf and Sport, Ann Coen Photography, Speakeasy Pizza and China Ming of Jackson chipped in to donate prizes for the top finishers in the race. The Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science is a specialized high school managed by the Ocean County Vocational Technical School District designed to give students a rigorous academic curriculum focused in the areas of science, math and technology.

Volunteers Go Door-To-Door To Fight Drug Abuse
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Thousands of volunteers in New Jersey delivered door hangers containing information about opioid abuse prevention to thousands of homes for the second annual Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day. The event took place on Friday, Oct. 6. In Brick, volunteers spread out to deliver the door hangars, along with a bag to be used for the disposal of unused prescription medication that could be brought to a drop box at the police station. Opioids are medications that relieve pain, and in 2016, some 2.75 million prescriptions were prescribed for them in New Jersey, according to statistics provided by Partnership for a DrugFree New Jersey. Nearly half of young people who inject heroin abused prescription opioids before they started using heroin. Lifelong Lake Riviera resident Jessica Purdy, 38, organized Knock Out Abuse Day for the township. As a patient advocate for a detox facility – Discovery Institute in Marlboro – Purdy is uniquely qualified since she is in long term recovery after being a heroin addict from the ages of 14 to 29. As the mother of five children, she was able to quit her drug use habit during her pregnancies, but relapsed four days before giving birth to her fourth child. Purdy had taken Vicodin to help with pain resulting from kidney stones. When she gave birth, the hospital tested her meconium for opiates since she had a history of drug abuse, so the Division of Youth Services got involved and Purdy was only allowed to have supervised visits with her newborn. “That was my rock-bottom, but it was also my saving grace because I went to an inpatient treatment center for 31 days, and then I had intense outpatient treatment, and I have been clean ever since,” she said. Purdy became involved in BMAC (Brick Municipal Anti-Drug Coalition) after attending a substance abuse forum in Toms River last year and was seated behind Brick Mayor John G. Ducey. “I tapped him on the shoulder and asked him if I could have a meeting with him, that I’d like to get involved with community awareness and share my knowledge and experience,” Purdy said from Lake Riviera, where she was distributing the door hangers. The next day she got a call from the mayor’s office and a meeting was scheduled with the mayor, Brick Police Chief James Riccio, Business Administrator Joanne Bergin, BMAC Chair and council liaison, Andrea Zapcic. “They gave me a position in BMAC, which meets once a month,” Purdy said. “I told Andrea about Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day, and she asked me to organize the day for BMAC.” About 15 volunteers fanned out and distributed some 1,500 hangers and bags to neighborhoods in Lake Riviera, Baywood, Sawmill, Maple Leaf and Birchwood Park. Purdy said that if you suspect that your child is using heroin, or any drug, including alcohol (which is also a gateway drug, and a “big red flag” for opioid abuse, she said), the first thing you should do is purchase an over-the-counter 12-panel drug test from a pharmacy.
“The results are instant, and then you have to confront your child,” she said. Most parents don’t know what to do, but there are many local parent-to-parent resources and support groups. Purdy said Nar-Anon is a great organization for helping the family of a substance abuser. “It’s very important to stop being an enabler. The addict needs an emotionally supportive family. Don’t give them money. Don’t drive them to their drug dealer’s house,” she said. An estimated 2,000 people died of an opioid overdose in 2016. People can die just from sniffing heroin, Purdy said. Councilwoman Zapcic had 300 homes to visit on Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day to hand out door hangers and bags. “I spoke to some people who were outside, and the response was very, very positive. People were appreciative,” she said in a phone interview the following day. A BMAC grant requires that the committee develop environmental strategies to combat opioid abuse, which include changing policy and creating consequences. For example, BMAC has gone to local pharmacies, which now staple informative literature to bags containing prescription narcotics, Zapcic said. Doctors may no longer prescribe more than a five-day supply of opioid pain relievers, and they must have a conversation with their patients about the potential of opioid addiction, she said. Patients are also encouraged to get unused medications out of the house. Zapcic said Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day is part of an ongoing effort by the township to address the opioid problem. Other initiatives include the formation of BMAC; school-based programs such as DARE, Lead & Seed, and #NotEvenOnce (a new interactive course, presented to high school students by the township police department); the prescription drop-off box, and more. Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day is a project of the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey in cooperation with the Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse; the NJ Department of Human Services, Division of Addiction Services; and the Community Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Morris, and thousands of volunteers across the state.

Hearing Health Snap Shot
Did you know that your hearing health has a direct effect on your overall health? Some causes can be natural and others would surprise you. It is important to take an empowered, proactive approach to hearing health during every stage of your life. I would sincerely suggest that you read this column several times and share this information with your friends and family. Risk Factors Hearing loss is about twice as common in people with diabetes compared to those without the disease. Adults with pre-diabetes, whose blood glucose is higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis, have a 30 percent higher rate of hearing loss compared to those with normal blood sugar. Current smokers are 1.69 times more likely, or have a 70 percent higher risk to have hearing loss than nonsmokers. Studies have shown that a healthy cardiovascular system has a positive effect on hearing. Conversely, inadequate blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss. Hearing Loss In America 1. One in three people over the age of 60 have hearing loss. 2. One in six Baby Boomers (49-68) have hearing loss. 3. One in 14 Generation Xers (37-48) already have hearing loss. 4. One in five teenagers have some type of hearing loss. 5. Hearing aids can reduce the effects of
hearing loss by 50 percent Effects of Hearing Loss on a Patient’s Life Memory and Hearing Loss: Adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop problems thinking and remembering than adults with normal hearing. Degraded hearing may force the brain to devote too much of its energy to processing sound. Adults with hearing loss develop a significant impairment in their cognitive abilities 3.2 years sooner than those with normal hearing. Those with hearing loss experience a 30-40 percent greater decline in thinking abilities compared to their counterparts without hearing loss. Dementia and Hearing Loss: Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. Adults with moderate hearing loss are 3 times more likely to develop dementia and those with severe hearing loss are 5 times more likely to develop dementia. Mental Health and Hearing Loss: Hearing loss results in social isolation. Adults with untreated hearing loss tend to withdraw from engaging with family and friends. Adults, 50 and older, with untreated hearing loss are more likely to report depression, anxiety, anger and frustration, emotional instability and paranoia, and are less likely to participate in social activities than those who wear hearing aids. The degree of depression and other emotional or mental health issues also increases with the severity of the hearing loss.

Schizandra Is My New Favorite Supplement
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I cannot tell you how frequently people write to me and say they are tired and frustrated with ineffective medicine. I believe adrenal exhaustion is at the root of pretty much everyone’s misery and there isn’t a drug that nurtures your precious adrenal glands, which are above your kidneys. These help you cope with stress. If you have cry easily, have a short fuse or people call you “cranky,” then you might have insufficient adrenal function. We live in such a fast paced world with too much stress, too many emails and too many perceived obligations; it’s easy to burn your adrenals out. Adaptogens are plant-based supplements that support adrenal health and rebuild it. My personal go-to adaptogens have always been ashwagandha, ginseng or rhodiola. Lately, I’ve been studying schizandra (sometimes spelled schisandra) and it’s my newest favorite supplement. Schizandra was prized for centuries by Chinese emperors as an anti-aging supplement. Wu Wei Zi is its Chinese name. Because it improves moisture retention, imperial ladies used it for prettier skin. It’s a wonderful skin supplement in fact. But the beauties of schizandra go much deeper than skin. Animal studies have shown that it can help with memory and brings balance between the “off” and “on” switch in your brain, so it helps regulate functioning of your cerebral cortex. Think of it as a tonic for your nervous system. Shchizandra is best known to heal the liver and help you with hepatitis. If you have any liver disease, I urge you to ask your doctor if this over the counter herb is okay for you. Adaptogens classically give
you energy and better sleep. That sounds contradictory doesn’t it? But adaptogens are smart and seem to know what your body needs. See why I love it?! Schizandra increases energy without the jolt of caffeine. As a cellular cleanser, schizandra works by increasing your body’s production of a natural antioxidant called gluathione. Glutathione is a strong liver cleanser. You make glutathione yourself, and schizandra help you make more, which is fabulous! Over time, men notice stronger desire, better sex and more staying power. It helped with benign prostatic hyperplasia, according to a 2014 study, and improved the effects of Flomax. It’s the berries! The beautiful red berries! That’s where the medicinal action is and the healing compounds are. What really caught my attention are the studies showing anti-cancer benefits, at least in preliminary animal or petri dish studies. Anything that can slow progression of cancer (reduce metastasis) gets my attention. And in 2009, another animal study published in the International Journal of Molecular Medicine found that schizandra may be a “useful chemotherapeutic agent” specifically for human leukemia U937 cells. I have a more detailed version of this article including more about cancer and other conditions. To receive it, sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and I will email it to you. I also have great news, you can once again read hundreds of my past articles now archived at my site; there’s even a search box to look up your health issue.

Chowderfest Serves Up A Good Time
By William Clanton BEACH HAVEN – This past Sunday brought record breaking crowds to Long Beach Island’s premier end-of-summer event. The 29th Annual Chowderfest weekend had probably one of the best turnouts this area as seen in a long time. With a record number of approximately 15,000 people in attendance, 300 volunteers, 15 restaurants and according
to Todd Elsasser the event coordinator, well over 3,000 gallons of red, white and creative chowders. This year’s Chowderfest has made its way into the history books. Glenn Kalina, DJ for WJRZ FM and the MC for the event, stated, “Chowderfest 2017 has gone down in history as the most attended.” The weather was beautiful, the crowd was huge and the smell of chowder was in the air. The event was split into two days. Saturday
marked the Chowderfest Weekend Merchants Mart. This featured a wide variety of vendors, local businesses, great end of summer sales, plus great food vendors and entertainment on the main stage. This year the Merchant Mart captured the “makers” trend with the new Make Shift Row Tent with handmade products for sale. Live music was provided by Jimmy Brogan, White Rabbit and The Impulsives.
Children’s entertainment included hands on crafts from The Learning Experience, Face Painting by Sprinkles the Clown and Crunchy the T-Rex made his first ever Long Beach Island appearance. There was something for everyone at the free Merchant Mart. On Sunday, the streets of Bay Village and the Taylor Avenue ball field between Ninth Street and Taylor Avenue (across from Schooner’s Wharf) were packed tight with locals and tourists alike getting their fill of chowder, Chowderwear merchandise, beer, and live musical entertainment from bands and artists like The Pickles, Ted Hammock, Jason Booth and Funk Shway & The Dojo Birds. Restaurants like The Blue Water Café, Lefty’s Tavern, the Delaware Avenue Oyster House and so many more served up endless amounts of some of the best Chowder in all of the state. These restaurants and businesses lined the field in Bay Village under big white tents featuring themed displays, brilliant enthusiasm and cups upon cups of delicious Chowder. “Chowderfest extends the economic impact form summer well into October,” said Lori Pepenella, CEO of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce. “It allows our restaurants to shine and connect with customers they never would have before.” Chowderfest is Long Beach Island’s big ‘end of summer’ event that helps to extend the summer season here on LBI and benefit local businesses, she said. All the proceeds from this event go directly to the hundreds of local businesses, charities, events and local scholarships. It was more than just a locally-attended event, she said. Fans from as far as California, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico were among the visitors. “A big thank you to everybody who showed up, the restaurants who make the chowder, everyone who helps us during the event, my wife (Jillian Elsasser, President of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce), the committee and the guys who are here every day and all week long. Those people are the ones who make this happen,” said the event coordinator Todd Elsasser, as he personally thanked all the individuals and groups that made this event possible. LBI’s 29th Annual Chowderfest of 2017 may be over but Elsasser said the committee are already planning the next one and are in big hopes for an even bigger turnout for their 30th year. The Winners Winners were awarded in several categories. New England – Grand Champion: Howard’s Seafood, 2nd Place: The Chicken Or The Egg, 3rd Place: Country Kettle Chowda Manhattan – Grand Champion: Lefty’s Tavern, 2nd Place: Stefano’s LBI, 3rd Place: Black Whale Bar & Fish House. Creative Chowder – Grand Champion: Blue Water Cafe LBI, 2nd Place: La Bamba Mexican Restaurant, 3rd Place: Cuisine on the Green at Atlantis Rookie of the Year: Delaware Avenue Oyster House Best Interpretation of the Theme: Country Kettle Chowda Best Shore Motiff: Buckalew’s Restaurant and Tavern Most Enthusiastic: Lefty’s Tavern Most Creative Booth: Delaware Avenue Oyster House

Bluegrass Performers Pine Their Way Onto Grunin Center Stage
TOMS RIVER – The Church Sisters lead off a selection of bluegrass performers at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College. Upcoming acts feature The Church Sisters, Sierra Hull and The HillBenders. Performances take place on the Main Stage, Grunin Center, OCC Main Campus, College Drive, Toms River. Please use Parking Lot #2. Tickets are on sale now. The Church Sisters – Thursday, November 2 at 7:30 p.m., Main Stage, $20. Sponsored by the MidAtlantic Arts Foundation. Originally from the coal mining district of Dickinson County, VA, and then Danville, VA, The Church Sisters’ mesmerizing music chronicles their childhood with a haunting sound and bluegrass twist. Their roots extend through bluegrass and gospel, performing alongside legendary acts from a young age. The duo is featured on the album Orthophonic Joy: The 1927 Bristol Sessions Revisited, which was co-produced by Grammy® Award-winner and mentor, Carl Jackson. The Church Sisters delivered with “Where We’ll Never Grow Old,” one of the tracks on the two-disc project that also features legendary artists Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, and Dolly Parton. The duo recently released a moving cover of Lukas Graham’s megahit “7 Years.” The song continues to see airplay on SiriusXM and comes to life in the girls’ first music video. Purchase Tickets online at grunincenter. org, call 732-255-0500, or visit the Box Office, Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Prices, dates, times, performers and shows are subject to change. Upcoming Bluegrass Performances at the
Grunin Center: Sierra Hull – Saturday, February 3, 8 p.m., Main Stage, $25. Sierra Hull has been recognized from age 11 as a virtuoso mandolin-player, astonishing audiences and fellow-musicians alike. Her album Weighted Mind is a landmark achievement, not just in Hull’s career, but also in the world of folk-pop, bluegrass and acoustic music overall. With instrumentation comprised largely of mandolin, bass, and vocals, this is genre-transcending music at its best. Hull speaks eloquently, in her challenging and sensitive originals, her heartfelt vocals, and once again breaks new ground on the mandolin. The country and bluegrass album earned Hull a 2016 Grammy Award® nomination for “Best Folk Album.” The HillBenders present The Who’s TOMMY: A Bluegrass Opry – Friday, April 13, 8 p.m., Main Stage, $35. Dinner AddOn Available: $25 Dinner in the Grunin Center Gallery from Prime 13. “Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball.” Maybe not your standard bluegrass lyric, but a line known by all the world from the biggest rock opera of all time, The Who’s Tommy. Forty-five years after its original release, this classic of classic rock is now fully realized as a full-length bluegrass tribute featuring Springfield, Missouri’s The HillBenders. Conceived and produced by SXSW co-founder and longtime musician/ producer Louis Jay Meyers, this Bluegrass Opry brings a new perspective to Tommy, while paying total respect to its creators. This live performance is a full 75-minute show covering the original album from start to finish with audience participation.

By William Clanton SHIP BOTTOM – Almost a hundred kites took f light on LBI this Columbus Day weekend. The 3rd Annual LBI Fly International Kite Festival came to Ship Bottom taking over of the skies of LBI. The blue skies were complimented by the delightful sea breeze and the distant ruff ling sound of kites gracefully f lying in the sky. LBI Fly has been organized to bring the brilliant, colorful artist designed kites, giant inf latable kites and an amazing show of sport kiting all between the 3rd and 15th Street Beaches in Ship Bottom. Aside from just traditional kites there were sport kite demos, bol kite races, buggy kites, f ly your own kite, kite f lying lessons, nighttime illuminated kite f lying performances by the Barnegat Lighthouse, and so much more. Coordinators also held several kid-friendly events, such as kids’ kite making, a high f liers’ art market and the KiteFest Bazaar in Bayview Park, 68th Street in Brant Beach. The annual LBI Fly Festival was originally started in 2015 and invited over 30 different professional and international kite flyers to show off an arrangement of colorful and beautifully designed kites. This year marked one of the biggest turnouts they’ve seen so far here on Long Beach Island. “The kite festival is fun for all ages and for families.” said event coordinator Lisa Willoughby. “It’s all very colorful and not what we were expecting exploring the Island,” stated Jack and Donna from Allentown, PA. The couple, who were vacationing on LBI, stumbled across the event entirely by chance and were soon amazed by the magnitude of kites, their designs and the sheer beauty of it all.
“The event is very well run and worth coming down for,” said Fred and Donna Taylor, two professional kite enthusiasts from Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada. They enjoy kite f lying whenever and wherever they can. Both professional and amateur kite enthusiasts from all around the world came out to LBI to present their beautifully designed and custom kites. The event gave f liers and spectators alike the chance to meet with other kite enthusiasts. The kite festival is an international venue, hosting kiters from as far as Canada, Germany, France, Tasmania and so many other places from all around the world. Robert Brasinjton, a professional kite designer and enthusiast from Tasmania, was there showing of an arrangement of custom kites. Brasinjton has been designing and flying these kites for over 25 years. His passion originally started with surfing and skateboarding, surprisingly enough. It was the movement, fast pace, artist design and idea that soon got him into professional kiting. These enthusiasts love to show off their beautiful creations to spectators and can be found at venues all around the world. Maria Gyllespie, who insisted she was an amateur kite f lyer, took the chance to display her kite designs and personal style. She said she originally got her start making quilts and soon transferred her quilt making designs to kites. She has been doing this for four years so far. This year’s 3rd annual LBI Fly International Kite Festival had an amazing turnout. The beach was packed with people and kites alike. Kite f lier and spectators are already geared up for next year.

Free Smoke Alarms Help Local Senior Citizens Breathe Easy
By Sara Grillo LAKEWOOD – Almost 200 senior citizens living in Ocean County can breathe easier this fall thanks to a partnership between the Catholic Charities’ Fix It Program and the American Red Cross New Jersey Region, as the two groups plan to install over 300 smoke alarms at no cost to seniors. “Working smoke alarms reduce home fire deaths by 50%,” said Kristee Lauro, Disaster Program Manager of the American Red Cross New Jersey Region. “We are pleased to work with Catholic Charities as our partners with the Home Fire Campaign to help make New Jersey families safer.” Only 60 percent of the 190 homes benefiting from the campaign had a working smoke alarm, said Fix It Program Volunteer Supervisor John McCrone, adding, “The installations will significantly improve fi re safety for our clients, who are
typically older than 70 and lack mobility.” The Fix It Program gets regular requests from people who need help replacing their smoke alarm batteries. The alarms being provided by the American Red Cross use 10-year batteries, which will significantly reduce the amount of service calls for battery changes and allow Fix It volunteers to focus on other types of assistance.
Since Fix Its’ partnership with the American Red Cross in May of last year, over 600 smoke alarms have been installed. One recent installation was somewhat unexpected. Fix It volunteer Fred Bahr visited the home of a woman who had recently fallen and broken her hip. She asked that a grab bar be installed, but when Fred checked her smoke alarms, he noticed

the batteries had expired and decided to replace them too. “This is a routine practice of Fix It volunteers,” said McCrone. “Noticing her batteries had expired, he replaced the alarms with those from the American Red Cross. This couldn’t be a better story about how our two organizations are collaborating to serve those most in need.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of October 21 - October 27
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): If you shoot from the hip in the week ahead be sure you don’t shoot yourself in the foot. Ingenious ideas will help you make your mark in the workplace, but won’t help to stabilize relationships. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be filled with imaginative ideas as this week unfolds. It may not be possible to translate your ideas into moneymaking enterprises, but sharing ideas may bring some people closer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Spread the word. You may learn many new things that enrich your life and enhance your creativity. You will forget your doubts and fears as this week goes by and you share your ideas. CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you care you will share. A partner may inspire you to be more businesslike in your approach to possessions and assets in the week ahead. Others might inadvertently block your plans. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The tighter the knot, the better the bond. You enjoy ties of affection, but it is difficult to sustain relationships that hang by a slender thread. Concentrate on being loyal and trustworthy this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): New technology can help you achieve your aims. Find ways to shave a few pennies off the bills by becoming more energy efficient in the week ahead. Stay abreast of the latest trends.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The unexpected or unpredictable might work out in your favor. Welcome sudden breaks in routine or unanticipated visitors in the week ahead. You may learn something of great value. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can’t command respect until you have earned it. Don’t rest on your laurels or hide away in a dream world. Be seen as trustworthy and act as a model of industry in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Although you may want to correct someone’s mistakes, be understanding and forgiving in the week ahead. People may forget what you say but will never forget how you make them feel. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have ambitious dreams but sometimes don’t have the money or time to pursue them. By applying logic it may be easy to achieve your goals as this week unfolds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ve got all the right moves. You feel more glamorous or talented than usual this week, but must fight an urge to act on impulse or switch direction. Don’t abandon an ongoing project. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The tides may turn quickly where your finances are concerned. Enjoy unique experiences but don’t put your money on the line this week. Someone’s expectations might be unrealistic.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Bake My Day: No Table Should Be Without These Oven-Made Breadsticks By Wolfgang Puck
After five decades of cooking professionally, one of the most important secrets I’ve learned for making people feel a meal is memorable - whether it is eaten in a restaurant or at home - is to add special little touches. Garnish a pasta dish with fresh herbs, quickly saute fresh fruit compote to serve over ice cream or alongside cake, or offer flavored butter instead of a plain spread, and your guests will be blown away by your creativity and generosity. I think every home cook could benefit from that lesson, as the busiest time of year for entertaining quickly approaches. Just a few weeks from now, you may be throwing a Halloween party. No sooner will you clean up from that lively gathering, and Thanksgiving will be just around the corner. The entire month of December seems to bring its own round of parties, from pre-Christmas buffets to big family sit-down dinners to elegant New Year cocktail get-togethers. So, I’ve been wondering if there was one simple recipe I could share that you could have on hand to see you all the way from now to the new year. When the answer came to me, it seemed both obvious and ingenious, as all such delightful additions to home entertaining should be: Prepare crispy homemade breadsticks! Even more than a lovingly baked loaf of bread, breadsticks will win delighted reactions from your guests. They’re fun to serve with cocktails, wine or beer. They make memorable additions to a buffet, and are just as welcome passed at the dinner table. And they can seem as casual or fancy as the foods they accompany and the style of your party. Better still, breadsticks are simple to make. I base mine on the same easy pizza dough I use in my restaurants (though you could substitute storebought, ready-to-bake dough, too). Since the sticks are so thin, baking takes just minutes, not the hour or more for a large loaf. Best of all, breadsticks let you be creative with ease, since you can coat them with all sorts of flavorings. In the following version, I brush them with easily made garlic-chili oil before baking and dust them with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs. But you could substitute plain olive oil and dustings of your own favorite spices; or roll them in sesame seeds or poppy seeds; or replace the Parmesan with other cheeses, which you could even knead lightly into the dough before you roll out and cut the sticks. Try them first for Halloween, adding extra garlic to keep away the vampires. After that, I’m sure you’ll add them to your holiday repertoire - and then make them a regular addition to your table year-round! SPICY GARLIC-CHILI PARMESAN BREADSTICKS Serves 4 6 ounces (185 g) Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough (recipe follows), or store-bought bread dough 1/3 cup (85 mL) garlic-chili oil (recipe follows) 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Line 2 baking
sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pizza dough into a long, thin strip about 4 inches (10 cm) wide, 14 inches (35 cm) long, and less than 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Brush the surface of the dough evenly but lightly with some chili-garlic oil. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, thyme and red pepper flakes. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough lengthwise into strips 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide. Transfer the strips to the prepared baking sheets, laying them he straight or twisting them into spirals as you like; leave a 1/2-inch (12-mm) space between the breadsticks. Transfer the baking sheets to the preheated oven and bake until the breadsticks are browned and crispy, 10 to 15 minutes, switching and rotating the positions of the baking sheets partway through the time for more even browning. Transfer the baking sheets to racks to cool. Serve the breadsticks immediately or store airtight until serving. WOLFGANG’S PIZZA DOUGH Makes 4 balls, each about 6 ounces (185 g) 1 package active dry or fresh yeast 1 tablespoon honey 1 cup (250 mL) warm water, 105-115 F (40-46 C) 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the warm water. In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining water and process until the mixture forms a ball. Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover with a clean, damp towel and let rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled). Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Work each by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll each under the palm of your hand until the top is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to two days. CHILI-GARLIC OIL Makes about 2 cups (500 mL) 2 cups (500 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 1 whole head garlic, cloves separated and peeled 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes In a small saucepan, combine the oil and garlic, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the garlic begins to turn brown, 10 to 15 minutes. (Do not let the garlic get too dark, or the oil will taste bitter.) Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Add the red pepper flakes and infuse for at least 2 hours. Strain into a covered container and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
