Aldi Store Coming To Lacey, Replacing Staples
By Kimberly Bosco LACEY – It’s been over two months since the Staples on Route 9 in Lacey Township closed down for good, and residents will finally see the vacant building replaced with a brand new Aldi grocery store. While no moves have been made to prepare the empty building for Aldi’s grand entrance, (Store - See Page 4)
–Photos by Kimberly Bosco (Above) Students are prepping to go back to school, attending the Southern Regional High School freshman orientation seminar on Aug. 28. (Right) The high school has been renovating the auditorium. As of Aug. 28, it was still finishing up, however it is now open to the students. By Kimberly Bosco MANAHAWKIN – It is officially September and everyone knows what that means: back to school. While you or your kids may not be ready for summer to be over, Southern Regional School District has been gearing up for some time now, making changes and upgrades.
One of the most notable updates that students will see is a newly renovated auditorium in the 9/10 section of the high school. Superintendent Craig He n r y t old Je r s e y Shore Online that this renovation was “long overdue.” The auditorium, prior to upgrades, was in its original state
since it was built 50-60 years ago, he said. The upgrades were both infrastr uctural and technological, replacing the acoustics, seats, flooring, stage, a nd sou nd syst e m. Henry noted that the auditorium was on its last legs, calling its interior “antiquated and obsolete.”
The total project was completed on schedule and came in under the $2.5 million budget, which was designated for the auditorium revamp in the district’s five year capital plan, according to Henry. Now, Henry said the district is proud to provide a new space “that (Class - See Page 2)

Class:
Continued From Page 1 is up to the standards that our performing arts students deserve.” In addition to this upgrade, the district has exchanged two school security guards for the addition of four Class III Officers. This change has been in talks over the past school year, said Henry. Former Gov. Chris Christie signed a bill in 2016 that made it legal for schools to hire specially trained, retired Class III officers to provide safety in schools. With this legislation passed, Southern went ahead with the process. Two full-time security guards have recently retired from the district, leaving the schools with a full security force of parttime guards, Henry explained. With the two FT security guards retired, Southern repurposed that revenue to afford the four Class III officers. These new officers are retired, all hailing from local departments in within Southern’s radius: two from Stafford Police, one from Long Beach Township Police, and one from Beach Haven Police. Henry added that these
officers were the ideal choice as former Southern Regional graduates themselves, having personal connections to the district. “They are all vested in the Southern community,” he said. On the academic side of things, SRHS recently expanded their curriculum to include a STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) program. The STEM program will feature one teacher who will instruct five sections. These classes will be elective courses, not mandatory, available to students who are interested in the subjects. Henry explained that the idea for implementing STEM courses came out of notable graduate patterns. Many of Southern’s high school graduates have gone on to study engineering-related subjects in college, so school administrators deemed it beneficial to include these topics into the high school curriculum to give students a head start. The classes will be comprised of two computer programming classes, one engineering class, and one computer design class. Henry noted that, if the STEM classes yield a good response, they hope to expand it to 10 sections for the 2019-20 school year.

According to Dan Triana of the NJ Department of Transportation (NJDOT), construction will commence mid-September, but a majority of the work will begin later in the fall. “The project goal is to provide highway and signal intersection improvements to address congestion and safety concerns in the area,” stated Triana.

Toms River Little League Champs Look Back 20 Years Later
By Chris Christopher Their names will never be forgotten. Shortstop-pitcher Todd Frazier. Pitcher Casey Gaynor. Pitcher-fi rst baseman Scott Fisher. Second baseman Joey Franceschini Jr. Third baseman Gabe Gardner. Catcher Brad Frank. Outfielder Chris Cardone. Outfielder R.J. Johansen. Outfielder Chris Crawford. Outfielder Mike Belostock. Outfielder Eric Campesi. Outfielder Tom Gannon. Manager Mike Gaynor. Coach Ken Kondek. Coach Joe Franceschini Sr. And what the group - the Toms River East American Little League All-Star team accomplished 20 years ago will also never be forgotten. The club captured the 1998 Little League World Series title, besting Kashima, Ibarak, Japan, 12-9, on Aug. 29 in front of some 40,000 fans and an ABC Television audience at Howard J. Lamade Stadium in South Williamsport, Pa. “I don’t think it ever really sunk in on me when we won the world championship,” said Cardone, who went 2-for-2 in the fi nale. “To be honest, I don’t think I will ever really comprehend what we did. I was a little kid and all of my feelings and experiences are filtered through that little boy’s perspective. I was obviously excited, but I don’t remember having a grip on the scope of what we accomplished.” “It was a very overwhelming feeling when we won the championship - something that I never thought was possible - especially in front of thousands of fans,” Gannon said. The team’s leader was Frazier, who went on to star for Toms River High School South, Rutgers University, the Cincinnati Reds, the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees and is now the New York Mets’ starting third baseman. Frazier was 4-for-4, including a lead-off home run, in the championship game and notched the win on the pitcher’s mound. He’s in the first season of a two-year $17 million contract with the Mets. East American was honored at the second annual MLB Little League Classic on Sunday, Aug. 19 at Bowman Field in Williamsport, Pa., site of the Mets-Philadelphia Phillies clash. “It was a fun time,” Frazier said of his Little League experiences on littleleague. org prior to the Classic. “I had a blast. It was a time in my life that I’ll never forget. I remember trading pins, sliding down the hill on cardboard and meeting all the other kids from all over the world, which was really cool and probably the highlight. It was just a tremendous two weeks. We had a great time on and off the field.” Frazier was scheduled to greet the winners of the 2018 Canon Little League Photo Contest in Williamsport prior to the game. “I can’t wait to be back,” he told the website prior to the event. “I’m going to bring my two trading books full of pins from back in the day to trade with the kids. I’m going to watch the games going on. It’s
going to be an unbelievable experience.” It was an experience that began at the local level. East American won the District 18 Tournament. It followed with championships at the Section III, New Jersey and East Regional tournaments. East American lost five games before reaching the LLWS, falling in the District, section and state tournaments and twice succumbing in the East Regional Tournament. It won the United States title in Pool Play at 3-0 before capturing the world crown. The team was known as The Beast of the East. Rich Cunningham served as the club’s mascot, inciting cheers from fans while dressed in a gorilla costume. “I would say as we went farther the pressure became a little more,” Gannon said. “It was a good pressure because we had so much fun playing together that we didn’t want it to end. “I think we dealt with it by leaning on each other,” he said. “We would always make sure to pick each other up whether we had a good game or a bad game. At the end of the day, we were still kids and this exposure was new to most of us. Our coaches did a great job of making sure we didn’t forget that it was just a game and to just give it our best effort no matter what happened.” “I can honestly say that I do not remember feeling any pressure,” Cardone said. “That may sound a bit cliché or exaggerated, but I never remember any of us looking any farther than our next game. Now I’m sure we wanted to win and as it got more and more real we were not completely naive to the increased stakes. However, I never remember the team feeling any pressure. It obviously helps to have Scott Fisher, Casey Gaynor (whose dad was the manager) and Todd Frazier on your team, too.” The team coped with the greatness of the task as just that - a team. Consistency in routine helped the team deal with the pressure. “I would attribute our team’s coping skills to routine and relationships,” Cardone said. (Champs - See Page 12)

Souvenir: A Fantasia On The Life Of Florence Foster Jenkins
BEACH HAVEN – Join Surflight Theatre on Sept. 19-23 for Souvenir: A Fantasia on the life of Florence Foster Jenkins. Florence Foster Jenkins, a wealthy society eccentric suffered under the delusion that she was a great coloratura soprano when she was in fact incapable of producing two consecutive notes in tune. Nevertheless, her annual recitals in the ballroom of The RitzCarlton hotel, where she resided, brought her extraordinary fame. As news of her terrible singing spread, so did her celebrity. Her growing mob of fans packed her recitals, stuffing handker-
chiefs in their mouths to stifle their laughter-which Mrs. Jenkins blissfully mistook for cheers. The climax of her career was a single concert at Carnegie Hall in 1944. Famously, it sold out in two hours. Souvenir, by turn hilarious and poignant, tells her story through the eyes of her accompanist, Cosme McMoon. Faced with her boundless certainty, Cosme comes to revise his attitude, not only towards her singing but to the very meaning of music itself. Dates and times: September 19, 20, 21, 22 at 8 p.m.; September 20, 23 at 2 p.m.

By Jennifer Peacock POINT PLEASANT BEACH – Four sea turtles were released back into the wild 7 a.m. Sept. 5 at Water Street. The turtles were rehabilitated at Sea Turtle Recovery, a nonprofit hospital located inside the Essex County Turtle Back Zoo. Twenty-three turtles have been rehabbed and released since the hospital opened in December 2016. Tammie, an adult Loggerhead, and three juvenile Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles, will be released Sept. 5. Tammie was found off the coast of Cape May by the crew of the United States Coast Guard Cutter Lawrence Lawson. The turtle appeared to have injuries received from propeller strikes across her carapace, top shell. But she is now ready to return to the ocean. “Watching Tammie return to the ocean will be highly rewarding. After over a year in rehabilitation, this turtle and all of the turtles getting released take a piece of my heart with them on their journey,” co-executive officer of STR Brandi Biehl said.

Also scheduled for release was Glacier, recovered from a broken flipper; Shellbie, healed of fungal pneumonia; and Junior, who had a respiratory infection. Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles are endangered, “which makes their return home vital in the effort to save their species,” STR officials said. “To see the fight to survive in these sea turtle’s eyes, it makes you realize how fragile our oceans are and how it is our responsibility to keep it safe for the animals that call it home.” Biehl said. The release can also be watched at facebook. com/SeaTurtleRecovery.

“We had a routine in practice. Every day was the same practice. It didn’t matter if we were practicing in Toms River or Williamsport in front of our parents or news cameras. Our relationships with each other were the other coping mechanisms that we had. “We all got along and that is a harder task than you would expect seeing as we were all the all-stars from our own teams. Everyone deserved to be there, but no one expected to be bigger than the team.” Cardone said Fisher and Gaynor were key pitchers. “I believe a major part of the success of our team was the pitching of Scott Fisher and Casey Gaynor,” Cardone said. “The toughness and resilience that they showed through the summer was pretty incredible. When they were on the mound, we felt we could compete with anyone. Also, having Todd Frazier didn’t hurt.” There was plenty of team spirit. “We all got along so well,” Cardone said. “We never let ourselves get too anxious or too nervous. We made sure we lived in the moment and took it one game at a time.” “We had a combination of great coaching and talented players,” Gannon said. “We were able to mesh well as a team. The experience started out as 12 kids having fun playing ball together. We continued to win games and we wanted to keep winning to see how far we could take this team. The deeper we went into the tournament, we started to really believe we had something special.” Manager Gaynor excelled. “Mike Gaynor was a calm coach who was very calculating in his decisions,” Cardone said. “I always thought he was old school, but we did things back then that are major parts of the new school game now like batting your best hitters at the top of the lineup.” Gannon played under manager Gaynor on the local Little League team prior to being chosen to the all-star team. “I had the luxury of playing for Mr. Gaynor for three years before becoming an all-star,” Gannon said. “He was most likely the best coach I ever had. He knew exactly how to treat his players and how to get the best out of us. As competitive as
he was, he never lost sight that it was all about having fun while trying to win. He would always be calm no matter what the situation was. That calmness gave us the confidence to never panic no matter what the situation was.” Gannon said the team gave winning the World Series little thought as it began play. “I don’t think it was something that was on our minds at all,” he said. “We were playing together as a team for the fi rst time. We knew we had talented players, but winning the title was not something we set out to do from the start. As time went on, we began to realize how special of a team we had.” “I don’t think we let it creep into our minds until we actually crossed the Pennsylvania border,” Cardone said. Gannon and Cardone enjoyed competing in the World Series. “Every team that played in it was already a champion in their own right,” Gannon said. “Each team was treated to the best experience possible.” “Little League Baseball and the people with the (Little League World Series) treated us wonderfully throughout the entire experience,” Cardone said. “It was all of our fi rst experience with being in such high demand and I don’t remember once feeling overwhelmed by the attention. Our ‘uncles’ (chaperones) and coaches did a wonderful job of insulating us from all of the media hype that was building.” Cardone thoroughly enjoyed the Little League experience. “I can say I have nothing but fond memories about the Little League experience,” he said. “No matter what was happening off the field, playing baseball was my favorite thing to do back then. What Little League did was give us the opportunity to play competitively against some truly amazing talent from around the world, some of which I can say to this day was from our own town and state. Little League provided me with memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.” Celebrity status engulfed East American after it won the LLWS. There was a visit to the White House where they met Vice President Al Gore. The team was honored at Yankee Stadium. Cardone was a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman.

Continued From Page 12 showered the club with praise and honors. “I’m not sure I could pick one thing over the other, but I would have to selfishly say my biggest thrill was my ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ appearance,” Cardone said. “It’s just not something that many people can say they did.” “I would have to say it’s a toss-up between going to Yankee Stadium and meeting the players, being able to go on the field during the national anthem and getting a chance to visit the White House,” Gannon said. “They are two things many people never get a chance to do.” Still residing in Toms River, Gannon has found the team’s memory lives. “I always get the same reaction when I tell people where I live,” he said. “I think it’s awesome that people still remember our team and it’s cool to have a story to go along with it. Besides getting married and having kids, this was probably the most amazing thing to ever happen in my life. The 12 of us have a special bond that we will have with us for the rest of our lives. Making it to Williamsport is hard enough and we were fortunate to take advantage of the opportunity and bring a world title back to Toms River.” “I honestly don’t think about it too often,” Cardone said. “I am reminded about it by coworkers and friends. However, it is not something I usually reflect upon. I am very fortunate to have so many more blessings in my life like my wife and children. I still live in Toms River and enjoy being close to my family and friends.” Cardone and his wife, Kaelin, are the parents of two children Robinson, who is three, and Chloe, who turned two in June. Cardone is employed by the United States Navy and Department of Defense as the lead mechanical design and installation engineer on a shipboard aviation
The Southern Ocean Times, September 8, 2018, Page 13 data management and control network that handles launch and recovery data on aircraft carriers. Cardone said he has benefited off the field from his Little League experience. “It has helped me tremendously in life by not only providing me with lifelong friendships and memories but by also providing me with confidence in myself,” he said. “Little League has taught me that certain trials in life are worth the effort. I have learned to fi nd the fun in the day-today because that is all we are guaranteed. “As silly as it sounds to say in an interview about winning a world championship, winning is not the point of all of this. Getting better every day and learning to be a better person or baseball player is the real skill because the only people who lose are the people who stop improving.” A police officer with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Gannon and his wife, Kristen, are the parents of three-year-old Skylar and four-month-old Tripp Gannon. “This experience has given me the confidence to be able to accomplish anything I put my mind to,” Gannon said. “I also know that nothing is given to you and that you have to earn everything in life. I also know that what we accomplished was extremely hard and that more people fail at it than achieve it. You have to keep that in the back of your mind. You may fail from time to time, but you must learn from that experience and try again until you succeed. “I just feel fortunate to be a part of such a special team. I gained memories that will live with me forever. I am very happy to be able to share this experience with my wife and kids.” Gardner, a sales manager for a Denver area convenience store company, said on littleleague.org, “The team has always meant a lot to me. We shared a life experience that few in this world will ever have a chance to understand.”

9 Tips To Help Detect Hearing Loss
It is often hard to recognize hearing loss. Simply put, it can be sneaky. As someone who experiences hearing loss, you have an advantage in helping loved ones recognize it in themselves. Here are some signs that can help you start the conversation… Balance Blues. Are they less sure footed than they once were? The inner ear is important to both hearing and stability – the cause of a balance problem could be affecting their hearing as well. The Lean. Do they consistently lean into the conversations on the same side? They could have greater hearing loss on one side, causing them to attempt to use their “good ear.” “Library, Anyone?” Are they not doing some of the things that make them happy? With a hearing loss, it’s difficult to hear in public places with lots of background sounds – they could be avoiding noisy areas altogether. Lots of laughter. Are they laughing more often? It might not mean you’ve hit your comedic stride. If they can’t hear what’s going on they might be responding inappropriately
to social cues to feel more engaged. Odd Responses. Do their replies seem out of place or not make sense? It might not be because they’re distracted – they might not be able to follow the conversation. Isolation. Are they begging off social situations entirely, even at home? It can be difficult to admit to hearing loss, which can lead to social anxiety. The Blame Game. Are they blaming misunderstandings on noises or other people? Rather than admit to hearing loss, sometimes it’s easier to act like outside factors are the issue. What?” Do you feel like you’re repeating yourself more often? Maybe you are mumbling sometimes- but odds are their hearing loss is the problem. Turning up the Volume. This is self explanatory: If your family member or friend can’t hear, they are going to adjust devices so they can. If more than a couple of these hit home, consider starting that conversation with your loved one. We’d be glad to give them a complimentary consultation.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!
Eating More Fiber May Lower Risk Of First-Time Stroke
NEW JERSEY - Eating more fiber may decrease your risk of first-time stroke, according to new research in the American Heart Association journal, Stroke. Dietary fiber is the part of the plant that the body doesn’t absorb during digestion. Fiber can be soluble, which means it dissolves in water, or insoluble. Previous research has shown that dietary fiber may help reduce risk factors for stroke, including high blood pressure and high blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) “bad” cholesterol. In the new study, researchers found that each seven gram increase in total daily fiber intake was associated with a seven percent decrease in first-time stroke risk. One serving of whole wheat pasta, plus two servings of fruits or vegetables, provides about 7 grams of fiber, researchers said. “Greater intake of fiber-rich foods - such as whole-grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts - are important for everyone, and especially for those with stroke risk factors like being overweight, smoking and having high blood pressure,” Diane Threapleton, M.Sc., and Ph.D. candidate at the University of Leeds’ School of Food Science and Nutrition in Leeds, United Kingdom. Researchers analyzed eight studies published between 1990-2012. Studies reported on all types of stroke with four specifically examining the risk of ischemic stroke, which occurs when a clot blocks a blood vessel to the brain. Three assessed hemorrhagic stroke, which occurs when a blood
vessel bleeds into the brain or on its surface. Findings from the observational studies were combined and accounted for other stroke risk factors like age and smoking. The results were based on total dietary fiber. Researchers did not find an association with soluble fiber and stroke risk, and lacked enough data on insoluble fiber to make any conclusions. The average daily fiber intake among U.S. adults is lower than the American Heart Association’s recommendation of at least 25 grams per day. Six to eight servings of grains and eight to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables can provide the recommended amount. “Most people do not get the recommended level of fiber, and increasing fiber may contribute to lower risk for strokes,” Threapleton said. “We must educate consumers on the continued importance of increasing fiber intake and help them learn how to increase fiber in their diet.” In the United States, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death, killing more than 137,000 people annually. Among survivors, the disease is a leading cause of disability. In addition to following a nutritious diet, the American Heart Association recommends being physically active and avoiding tobacco to help prevent stroke and other heart and blood vessel diseases.

Amazing Health Benefits Of Prunes
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Almost everyone knows what prunes are for, they help you get going! Your parents probably kept them in the cabinet, and offered them to you when you were a kid. Prunes are actually just dried plums, and they’re fruits of the tree species Prunus domestica, hence the name. Speaking of names, which would you rather eat? Prunes which help with bowel function, or “dried plums?” Honestly, which sound more palatable?! For purely marketing reasons, the name was changed which offer mass appeal. What they couldn’t change was how shriveled up and sticky these guys are when you eat them! But don’t let that hinder you because prunes have been scientifically proven to help soften stools and induce a laxative type effect due to their sorbitol content. Prune juice will not work because the actual fruit provides the fiber, juice does not. Do prunes have other medicinal benefits? Yes, surprisingly important ones too! Bones Prunes have been shown in multiple studies to prevent, and even reverse, bone loss in post-menopausal women. They’re good for osteoporosis! Prunes work by suppressing the rate of bone turnover. In fact, prominent researchers wrote an article in the British Journal of Nutrition and after studying the fruits, they have come to conclusion that prunes are “the most effective fruit in both preventing and reversing bone loss.” Blood vessels A placebo-controlled trial out of Pakistan showed that eating just one serving of
prunes each day could significantly lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Those who ate the prunes had a reduction in both their systolic and diastolic blood pressure (top and bottom numbers). Brain Eating prunes might preserve your brain. In an animal model study, feeding rodents an extract of plums helped to maintain their cognitive function. Not only was their memory recall improved, there was less formation of Beta amyloid plaques, which are the same damaging protein found in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Even if everything is ‘moving right along’ in your life, consider adding prunes to your diet if only to help you with blood pressure regulation, bone health and memory. It’s mind-blowing to think such a simple thing could help so much. As a pharmacist, I see no risk to this, and only benefit. But of course, don’t eat too many prunes or you’ll get diarrhea! If you’re constipation is due to opiate usage (such as oxycodone or hydrocodone) then this would require an OTC medication such as MiraLAX. The prunes are fine, but will not be enough! If your constipation is secondary to hypothyroidism, prunes will not be enough. You will need thyroid medication. I have written about this extensively at my website. Prunes would be fantastic on a salad! Or just eat them whole. Recipes exist everywhere including my website where I also have a longer version of this article posted. If you simply can’t stand prunes, then plums are a great alternative! Plums contain the same anthocyanins that prunes do, and they are even juicier!

ALARA CONSTRUCTION, LLC
By Bob Vosseller TOMS R IVER – Fou r teen count y residents came together on Washington Street despite confusion regarding whether a rally to oppose the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh by President Donald Trump, was actually taking place or not. Of the 14 present, 10 shared their views with Jersey Shore Online, opposing the nomination while four others explained their view of why Kavanaugh’s nomination should be allowed its due course. The gathering held provided an impromptu forum of civil discourse between both sides. Kavanaugh is being considered for the opening on the United States Supreme Court and a series of nationwide rallies called “Unite For Justice,” took place on Aug. 26. The downtown Toms River rally was one of three in the state that had been scheduled by MoveOn.org with support from partnering agencies that are involved in healthcare and environmental causes but the organizing website dropped the Toms River location the day before. Those who came out to oppose Kavanaugh were not aware of the event’s apparent cancellation. Likewise, those who came out to support the president’s nominee were expecting a bigger turnout by the opposition. The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to begin confirmation hearings on Kavanaugh on Sept. 4. Those who oppose Kavanaugh such as Ocean County Green Party Chairman Thomas Cannavo of Beachwood say he will rule against reproductive freedom, health care, the environment, voting rights, workers’ rights, LGBTQ rights, and immigrant rights, and are calling on U.S. senators to block the appointment. Cannavo was also promoting his organization’s rally set for 1 to 4 p.m. on Sept. 15 in downtown Toms River called a “March for Peace: End Wars.” That event will include a march followed by a rally with live music and speakers advocating for peace. “We need to express our views,” Cannavo said. Beachwood resident Bill Trulby said “I have no problem with him (Kavanaugh) as a person but I don’t think the president should have the ability to put in a person who is 50 something and is a person who will have a lot of inf luence on the supreme court for the next 30 years. We will remember in November.” Trulby said he researched Kavanaugh and he had concerns about the president’s nomination given the circumstances of recent legal issues that could lead to Trump’s indictment or possible impeachment. Sandford Josephson, Manchester, noted similar concerns. “He should not be allowed to have his nominee heard in the Senate at this time. Republicans will be complicit with this if it goes forward.” Josephson is hopeful the nomination
might not pass. “All you need is one (Republican) to f lip it.” Waretow n resident Rosean ne DePasquale has been at tending recent rallies opposing the president’s policies and was present to lend her voice on two fronts, one sharing her view opposing the nomination and leading supporters in a protest song or two. “I don’t see how this president can nominate anyone right now when he may be being brought up on criminal charges. I think this should wait until after the midterm election,” DePasquale said. Tom Ferreri of Bayville felt differently. He attended the rally to find out why there would be opposition to the nomination process. “How can you be against this? How do you know how he will vote on a given issue? He will vote according to an interpretation of law. He is a constitutionalist,” Ferreri said of Kavanaugh. Mark Sisler, his wife Tara, and Mike Rosell, each of Bayville, came out to share their view which was in support of the president’s nomination. “I think everyone is entitled to their opinion but this is a legal process. I didn’t like it when Obama was president but once he was elected I accepted it. I think this nomination stands for itself. I don’t see him as mean spirited. For those afraid he will reverse Roe Vs. Wade, he can’t change that. He is only one person on the bench,” Sisler said. Sitting off to the side of the morning activity, typing on his laptop was Steve Monvay who was unaware of the planned rally and who had come out to sit on the steps and do some writing. The township resident who moved to the United States decades ago from Hungary was pleased to see the civil conversation between the two sides. He also lamented on the passing of Sen. John McCain. “Trump is ignorant and a racist. You see a lot in the people he has picked to be around him,” Monvay said. “I’m Hungarian and I moved here when I was 14. The president of Hungry was a fascist. Trump will be meeting with the prime minister of Hungary soon. I am glad to see people come out and speak their views.” Rep. Thomas McArthur (R-3rd District) provided a prepared statement prior to the rally in support of the nominee. His office is a short distance away from the rally point within the Toms River Township municipal building. “Brett Kavanaugh is exactly the type of judge who would be a great asset to our nation’s highest bench. He was confirmed to his current post with bipartisan support and I expect him to be confirmed to the Supreme Court with support from both parties. I would encourage Democrats to give him a fair and open hearing, rather than obstructing him at every turn, simply because he was nominated by President Trump.”

By Chris Shea, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization. Further, it is important to note another
BILL’S BILL’S UPHOLSTERY UPHOLSTERY
critical benefit of the Christopher R. Shea Esq. Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. \ (732) 505-1212.

Wunder Wiener Owner, Back On His Feet, Gives Thanks
By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – Gerald LaCrosse is faced with yet another new challenge. It’s not just the therapy to retrain his arms and legs to do what they’re supposed to. It’s not just to figure out his finances now that his main source of income is gone. It’s how to say “thank you” to everyone who provided help and encouragement these two long months. “Thank you” are just two words, and they aren’t enough to match the gratitude that’s in his heart. A lot of prayers and good thoughts were sent his way. He heard them loud and clear, and maybe someone upstairs did, too. He looked at the crowd at Beachwood Community Day, knowing that some of the people there helped out in the fundraisers, but with no way of knowing how to thank them. As he sat at one of the benches by the stage, people kept coming over to say hello and ask how he was doing. “I shouldn’t be feeling the way I am,” he said. Doctors had told him he would be in the hospital for two months, and then in a rehabilitation hospital for another two to three months. Yet, two months and a day after the crash, he was home. “Whether it was prayers or everyone’s good wishes, I don’t know. Something got me out of bed,” he said. LaCrosse was seriously injured on June 11 when an SUV veered off Route 9 and totaled der Wunder Wiener hot dog truck, while he was inside. Doctors are making him walk with a cane, although he was able to show friends how he can turn it upside down and golf with it. His right arm is in a sling, and he has limited mobility right now. They had to remove his spleen and some intestine, which implies a lot of just how bad his internal injuries were. He celebrated his 74th birthday in the hospital. But minutes after describing his own physical challenges, LaCrosse was talking about the empathy he feels for other people in his situation. There are a lot of other people who have gone through debilitating injuries – and they’re not doing as well as him. “Psychologically, I feel good. I know I lost a lot but there’s nothing I can do about that,” he said. Financially, the hot dog cart was his livelihood, and that’s gone now. He hinted at his medical bills, with some very high numbers.
–Photo by Chris Lundy Gerald LaCrosse, back to his usual antics, shows friends how he can turn his cane upside down and golf with it. Fundraisers are helping with that. Two local PBAs, Berkeley Local 237 and Beachwood-Pine Beach Local 253, set up a hot dog stand for a weekend. On Beachwood Community Day, they presented him with a check for $15,000. They also had an envelope with checks in it that people had donated. Additionally, a GoFundMe had been set up by his niece, Charissa Fromm and LaCrosse’s son, Jerry. It can be found at gofundme.com/ gerald-lacrosse039s-huge-losshelp. As of press time, it had raised more than $11,500. Between those two fundraisers, his social security, and some pension money, he and his wife Beverly can make it until he opens der Wunder Wiener 2 sometime in the future. “It’s humbling. You don’t know how to express your thanks,” he said. He expected maybe 200 people to come to the PBA fundraiser, but it was in the thousands. Even on the day in downpoured. He never knew that he had such an impact on people. “I just thought they like the hot dogs.” The best thing he can think of is to pay it forward – to take their positivity and build on it. “It makes you feel really special, and that is what makes you want to do more for them.”

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – A who’s who of environmental leadership came out to honor one of their own during a tree-planting memorial service at Traders Cove Marina for Greg Auriemma, 63, a Brick resident who died in July last year while on a hiking trip in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. Auriemma had been battling cancer and took off on the 10-day, 30 mile hiking trip after getting news that his condition had improved, said Jeff Tittel, Director of the NJ Sierra Club, at the time. Tittel came to Traders Cove to pay his respects and speak about the passion Auriemma had for protecting the environment. “I was always getting a phone call from Greg on Friday afternoons to give me words of encouragement for whatever we were doing,” Tittel said to the gathering of Auriemma’s family, friends and fellow environmentalists. Auriemma, who was an attorney, helped to restart the Ocean County Chapter of the Sierra Club some 20 years ago, and as its chair, worked tirelessly on ocean issues, climate change, preserving open space, organizing beach clean-ups and much more, Tittel said. “It’s appropriate that we have planted this tree at Traders Cove because Greg spent a lot of years here with Save Barnegat Bay to protect and preserve it as open space,” Tittel said. The last environmental issue the men worked on together for the Sierra Club was to fight a proposed restaurant to be built at the marina and park, Tittel said. Even when Auriemma was feeling sick, he showed up at the Sierra Club meetings, and Tittel said that his friend had a big part in “Barnegat Bay finally getting cleaned up.” “In the Jewish religion, a tree stands for life,” Tittel said. “It is fitting to plant a tree because it is a symbol of life moving for-
ward. Plus, we’re tree huggers,” he joked. “The price of stewardship is vigilance, keep doing what’s right, and that’s what Greg did,” he said. Willie deCamp, president of Save Barnegat Bay, said that one of the joys of his career was working with Auriemma. “We first met when he was in the front row of a Save Barnegat Bay meeting to save Traders Cove,” he said. “He was in the front row and wouldn’t stop asking questions and giving his opinion, but his questions and his opinions were very strong.” He said their friendship benefitted deCamp since Auriemma convinced him to attend the climate marches in New York City and in Washington D.C. “It was a revelation how much you learn at these marches,” deCamp said. Auriemma cared about environmental issues everywhere, not just those that affected Ocean County or New Jersey, he said. After deCamp’s comments, Tittel came back to speak about Auriemma’s visit to the White House after Superstorm Sandy. Ocean County was devastated, Tittel recalled, and Auriemma’s lagoon-front home in Brick had also been damaged, but Auriemma worked tirelessly to help raise money for people who needed a place to stay or furniture for their house. “I got a call from the White House and they asked me of all the people I knew who were impacted by Sandy, who was the biggest influence? There was no question, it was Greg, so he went to the White House and met the president,” Tittel said. President Obama recognized Auriemma as a “Champion of Change” for his efforts, Tittel said. Auriemma’s long-time partner, Joyce Isaza, said the memorial service would have meant everything to him. “It is a really big honor for him to have everyone around him that he loved,” she said.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 8 - sept 14 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Don’t rush to judgment. It may be better to hold off on drawing any conclusions as you may not yet have all the facts at your disposal. Remain calm in the face of adversity as things will quickly improve in the week ahead. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Maintain a united front. Petty squabbles with those who are on your side may leave you as a solo act if you’re not careful. Don’t assume that your concerns are more important than anyone else’s this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Just because they offer you Kool-Aid doesn’t mean you have to drink it. Keep in mind that those who are overly optimistic may make foolish or reckless decisions. Let common sense be your guide in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let them accept you as you are in the upcoming week. Someone who makes you bend over backwards to please is taking advantage so draw the line. Your generosity should be your choice, not someone else’s. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Maintain a modicum of moderation. Getting too passionate or excited over a new interest may cause you to go overboard so try to keep your wits about you. You may be attracted to gaudy or tasteless items this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Look before you leap. Stay anchored in reality when discussing future plans as you may agree to do something that is not possible. Use logic and common sense this week to avoid wandering into uncharted waters. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Grin and bear
it. Giving into your adventurous side may result in a neglect of responsibilities. Stick to your routines this week. Making waves when dealing with the status quo could leave you struggling to stay afloat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take the high road. You may find that a short-cut takes you the exact same place as doing it the hard way. Don’t be afraid to question established norms in the week ahead as there may indeed be an easier way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Bring your A game. Don’t be so overconfident this week that you neglect to make necessary preparations for your latest endeavor. Assuming that you know what someone is thinking is asking for trouble. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let them down easy. Employ a little tact when trying to show a loved one the error of their ways. Being too blunt could hurt feelings this week. Show them that you’re on their side by being helpful and kind. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It may not be worth the risk. Successfully taking a chance may yield vast rewards but there’s no certainty that you won’t fail. Play it safe this week and indulge in the many joys of life that cost you nothing. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Don’t be a rebel without a cause. Being argumentative or defiant simply for the sake of stirring things up will get you nowhere. Focus extra energy on being creative rather than trying to tear things down this week.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Summer Finale: Easy Recipe Provides Seamless Transition To Fall Grilling By Wolfgang Puck GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH VINEGAR BUTTER AND BABY ARUGULA Serves 4 4 well-trimmed pork chops, each about 8 ounces (250 g) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 large shallot, minced 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3 tablespoons cut into small pieces 1/4 cup (60 mL) Zinfandel vinegar or other good-quality, strong-flavored red wine vinegar 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry red wine 1/2 cup (125 mL) good-quality chicken broth or stock, boiled in a small saucepan until reduced to about 1/4 cup (60 mL) 2 bunches baby arugula, tough stems removed, leaves rinsed under cold running water and patted dry Preheat a grill for direct-heat cooking, with the fire directly under the cooking grid. When the fi re is hot, season the pork chops to taste on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill the chops until well-seared on both sides and cooked through
but still juicy, 5 to 7 minutes per side, turning them only once; an instant read grilling thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read about 145 F (63 C). Remove the chops to a heated platter, cover with aluminum foil, and keep warm. As soon as the pork chops start grilling, prepare the sauce. Put the shallot and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a nonreactive saucepan over medium heat and saute until the shallot begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the vinegar, stir and scrape with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan deposits, raise the heat to high, and cook until the vinegar reduces by half its volume, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine and continue boiling until it reduces by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the reduce broth or stock and continue simmering the sauce until it is thick enough to lightly coat the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Reduce the heat to low and whisk the sauce continuously while adding the remaining butter pieces a little at a time, only adding more when those you’ve added are fully incorporated. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange a bed of arugula leaves on each of four warmed dinner plates. Place a pork chop on top of each bed of arugula. Spoon the sauce over the chops, and serve immediately.
