False Forecasts Hurt Shore Area Businesses
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – For most seasonal businesses who depend on day trippers to provide their service, a weather forecast of gloom and doom can be devastating and many said that is precisely what happened this summer season. Bill Petruzel, owner of Barnacle Bill’s arcade and miniature golf, which celebrated its 55th year of operation in Ortley Beach on July 21, said, “the weather is always important and this year we had a nontrend of sunny days followed by some rainy weather. It was not consistent.” “Generally we had a good season but if anything it was wet and we would have done a little better,” Petruzel added. Nearby is one of four Kohr’s (Shore - See Page 4)

Toms River Clarifies Busing Aid
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Approximately $850,000 in payments to township families who go to private schools were included in the 2018-2019 budget, officials said. However, the state will pay for almost half of this. The state mandates that districts provide transportation for students who attend non-public schools. Or, the district can choose to provide
aid in lieu of transportation. Districts will provide this aid, $1,000, if it is more cost-efficient than busing the students. The Toms River School District has budgeted about $850,000 for nonpublic student transportation, said William J. Doering, business administrator for the district. Most – but certainly not all - go to Orthodox (Busing- See Page 5)
Second Local Official Switches Parties
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Councilman Jim Fozman announced that he would be switching his allegiance to the Republican party after he said he was told he was no longer invited to political caucus meetings since “they feel I no longer share their political philosophy,” he said at the end of the Aug. 28 council meeting. “I didn’t leave the Demo-
cratic party, the Democratic Party left me,” said Fozman, paraphrasing the late President Ronald Reagan. In a prepared statement, Fozman said the all-Democrat council and mayor were distancing him because he was increasingly at odds with “their lack of transparency, and calling them out on the lack of (Parties - See Page 6)

Shore: Continued From Page 1 Ice Cream locations (the others being in Seaside Heights, Seaside Park and Lavallette). Owner Greg Kohr said that forecasts by northern Jersey and New York radio and television stations hurt his business and others with forecasts predicting rain storms that never came. “We are a big day trip customer business and a lot of those forecasts reported storms that were taking place up north but didn’t occur here. It would have been nice if they put a better spin on it,” Kohr said. “We had 10 weekends of rain in the spring and five during the summer. The weather people said we had a 60 percent chance of rain this weekend and that really hurt our Friday and Saturday business. I’d say most businesses this season aren’t doing what we should be,” Kohr added. The Starlight Motel in Ortley Beach has catered to vacationers for decades. Manager Michele McGarry said the false forecasts had hurt her business. “They kept reporting about storms happening up north but there was not a cloud in the sky here.” Angelo Nucci, the motel’s assistant manager said “News 12 was reporting all season about storms that we didn’t get.” “That really hurt us a lot and we had the added problem of the beach replenishment project going on here in Ortley Beach which has caused most of the beach blocks to be closed. Shame on the governor for not seeing that this was not done earlier in the year instead of the peak summer season. That hurt a lot of businesses here,” McGarry said. Further north on Route 35, the owners of Lava Golf, a miniature golf business which features a barrier island theme for its 18 hole course, retaliated with some humor posting on several social media sites that better weather forecasting could be made by fictional characters like Aunt Clara of the 1960s Bewitched TV show and the late psychic, Kreskin not to mention a character
from the cartoon SpongeBob Square Pants. Kathy Misdea and her husband Dan own and operate the attraction which started three years ago. “We only had to close a few times this summer due to rain but our weekend business was hurt by the forecasts which generally didn’t reflect what was happening on this end of the state,” Kathy Misdea said. “They said it was going to rain every day this weekend and there isn’t a cloud in the sky,” her husband added. “It was so wrong. The forecasts were so different to what was going on here,” Kathy Misdea said. “We did have some people play in some drizzle but generally it wasn’t bad.” The Beach Authority in Lavallette features bicycle rentals along with a beach supply store. Owner Maytol Manor said the weather forecasts definitely had a negative impact at her Lavallette and Ocean Beach locations. “It started on Wednesday when they were predicting rain all weekend,” Manor said. Customer Susan Bialasz of Somerset said she didn’t mind the lack of traffic but “I felt bad for the businesses here. One day it was a report of rain and then it quickly changed to a heat advisory. I have children and you don’t want to plan something when you think rain is going to ruin it. My family has been coming down here all our lives and the weather predictions really stink.” “We have a baby season to work with and as business owners we put our blood, sweat and tears into this. I just hope they don’t shoot down the weekends we have in September,” Manor said. “There are times when Toms River has rain but we don’t get a drop here on the island.” “I do understand how you would weigh in weather as a factor. It would be better if they simply said there was a slight chance of rain and not say it was definitely going to happen,” Manor added.

Busing: Continued From Page 1 Jewish schools in Lakewood. Toms River also provides transportation for students to Donovan Catholic and St. Joseph Grade School, but there are enough children going to this one campus that they can be on bus routes, he said. The students going to schools in Lakewood are more spread out, making bus routes more difficult (and the $1,000 more efficient than hiring more drivers). The state pays for a portion of the transportation aide that Toms River gives to families, Doering said. The problem is, the state is using figures from a year ago. For example, the state aid for the 2018-2019 school year is using figures from a Nov. 16, 2017 district report and does not include the many children who were added since then. Additionally, at the end of the school year, the state reimburses districts for a portion of it. It is estimated that the state will be covering about 43 percent of the cost this school year. It amounts to approximately $365,000 of the $850,000, he said. Reduction In Overall Funding While the state continues to fund a portion of the transportation, overall state funding is scheduled to drop significantly in the next few years. The payments in lieu of aid were already budgeted for 2018-2019, so they won’t be an unforeseen expense, Doering said. New state regulations redistributed aid between districts based on enrollment figures. Toms River’s public school student enrollment has been going down, so state aid is going down as well. According to district records, the state aid for the most recent years has been as follows: • 2009-2010: $71,972,480 • 22010-2011: $62,185,013 • 22011-2012: $66,104,704 • 22012-2013: $67,278,259 • 22013-2014: $67,712,061
• 22014-2015: $68,023,721 • 22015-2016: $68,023,721 • 22016-2017: $68,342,239 • 22017-2018: $68,342,239 Local officials have been urging the state to give them relief. Unless things change, future funding is expected to be: • 22018-19: $65,984,284 • 22019-20: $64,402,399 • 22020-21: $62,425,042 • 22021-22: $59,656,742 • 22022-23: $56,097,500 • 22023-24: $51,945,051 • 22024-25: $47,199,395 According to this schedule, the aid for 202425 would be $21 million, or one third, less than it currently is. If all of the cuts were added together, it would be a loss of $70,685,260 over the course of seven school years. Petition The State For Full Funding Meanwhile, residents have promoted a petition demanding the governor and state legislators return the funding and repeal the law that created the issue. Bridget Maillard, a resident who created the petition, warned that future cuts could include athletics, clubs, and of course teaching staff and paraprofessionals. “Without these vital programs available to our students, gaining acceptance to a college, the military, or the transitional career is almost impossible. And without these social interactions, the personal development and the reinforcement of life skills will become neglected for our students, making it extremely challenging for our students to stay involved. With that, the concern over drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and vaping becomes even more paramount, especially with Ocean County’s growing opioid epidemic,” she said. As of press time, more than 8,100 people have signed the petition.

checks and balances.” Fozman, now in his second term, and Mayor John G. Ducey ran on the same ticket for council in 2011. Ducey was elected mayor in 2013 and is now serving his second term. “For the past two and a half years, it has become increasingly evident that my colleagues moved further to the left, and aligned their philosophies with those of the Hillary Clinton Democrats,” Fozman said. He said that he has always been fiscally and socially conservative and more in line with the Republican party. Ducey said Fozman’s reason for changing political parties should be analyzed. “He states that he is switching because there is a lack of transparency despite the fact that I appear whenever and wherever invited to speak and answer all questions posed,” Ducey said in an email. The mayor said he also appears twice a month on Facebook Live sessions where he answers real-time questions from residents. “Other mayors call me crazy for allowing this type of transparency, but residents love it and take advantage of it,” he said. Ducey said it is a “complete joke” that Fozman is switching parties because the Republicans are more fiscally conservative, since his administration’s record of spending over his five years as mayor has the lowest increases in the history of Brick Township. “Since his reasons are obviously not true based on fact, the real reason must be explored,” Ducey wrote.
The mayor said that Fozman wanted the job as the director of Public Works when Glenn Campbell retired. “I denied his request and told him that we would never hire a sitting councilman or family member to a township job as that is blatantly against what we stand for,” Ducey said. “He now joins the Brick Republicans who are well known for providing jobs to elected officials and family members as a matter of course,” he added. “Fozman obviously want to join that gravy train.” Ducey said he is relieved that Fozman no longer represents the Democrats. “The Brick Democrats do things differently we do things the right way and Fozman does not share our values of good governance,” he said. Fozman said he is retired and has been collecting social security for five years, and in an email said “Everyone in politics knows it would not be legal to hire a sitting councilman at the township.” He said the mayor appointed him as a BTMUA commissioner while Fozman was a councilman. “If Ducey was so concerned about my serving as a BTMUA commissioner, he should have voted no on my appointment,” Fozman wrote. “I did ask to take a class at Rutgers to better quality as an ongoing commissioner,” he added. Fozman said that excluding him from the twice-monthly caucus meetings “is not government transparency.” Earlier this summer, Toms River Councilman Daniel Rodrick announced that he was changing parties from Democrat to Republican. However, in his announcement, Rodrick stated that he had previously been a Republican.

Shore: Continued From Page 4 had a flurry of business on Labor Day. She noted a different situation than most. “I do know that when it is nicer out we aren’t as busy. We are busy today but Friday was slower than last year’s Labor Day weekend. We do better when it rains. Many of our customers have learned not to rely on the weather reports,” Steriti said. For one business, the day’s heat played a factor in delaying the start of their operation. A miniature golf course on West Atlantic Way in Chadwick Beach posted a sign stating that due to the heat, it would open at 4 pm on Labor Day. Stewart’s Root Beer in Seaside Heights features car port service and outside seating so weather plays a factor for their business. Manager Tysheena Osborne said “we had a lot of rain this summer and did impact us. We also had forecasts of rain that we never did get. We did well overall though.” Maria Mastoris, marketing manager for the Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach water park in Seaside Heights, said that “unfortunately it wasn’t the best summer for us here on the Jersey Shore.
The Toms River Times, September 8, 2018, Page 7 “Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach, along with other Jersey Shore destinations, rely on good weather so people will flock to the shore. We had many hot and humid days this summer but that kept people indoors. The weather reporters even told people to stay inside, don’t go to the beach.” She added that this “hurts our property, along with every other boardwalk along the coast. We had cloudy, rainy weekends as well. However many times when it is raining in Toms River or across the bridge, it is sunny and nice in Seaside Heights. Usually the ocean breeze keeps the rain clouds away. However, our guests are watching New York news where it is saying it is raining outside, don’t go to the beach, so we lose all of those guests for that day,” Mastoris said. Mastoris noted that “even this Labor Day Weekend, the weather app on my phone was calling for rain, clouds and a crappy weekend. But it turned out to be perfect. Saturday was sunny, Sunday was sunny, today (Labor Day) was sunny. Our business is only open for three short months so we need to make the most of those months. Unfortunately, the weather and the weather forecasts didn’t help us this year”.

Sea Turtles Being Released Into Wild
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 face book.com/SeaTurtleRecovery.
DOES YOGA POSE A PROBLEM FOR EYES?
With the rise in yoga’s popularity in the United States, some researchers have wondered whether headstands pose a threat to the health of the eyes of yoga practitioners. The concern is that this up-ended posture raises the intraocular pressure (IOP) of fluid in the eye that is so often associated with glaucoma. According to one Indian study, when yoga practitioners did headstands, on average, their IOP temporarily doubled. In another study, common head-down yoga poses (such as the downward-facing dog) increased IOP among those with and without glaucoma. While brief spikes in IOP should not raise concern, repeated assumption of these postures can lead to progressive eye damage over time and might promote or worsen glaucoma and other eye conditions. Glaucoma is a common eye disorder which damages the optic nerve. The early stages of glaucoma are undetectable, and experts estimate that only half of the people who currently have glaucoma even realize that they are affected. While there is no cure for glaucoma, many medications and procedures exist that can help to slow the disease or stop it altogether. When you need the best eye care in the area, look to SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. (732-349-5622).

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!

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!

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. Fundraisers are helping with that. Two local PBAs, Berkeley Local 237 and Beach-

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.”

County Buys Open Space In Berkeley
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The county will be adding more open space to its acquisitions, pending the usual approvals. The Ocean County Freeholders accepted the recommendation from the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee to acquire two parcels of land in Berkeley Township, totaling a little more than 24 acres total. The county is set to pay up to $1.025 million plus up to $2,200 for property tax adjustments. Mark Villinger, the supervising planner with the county’s planning department, said even though the parcels are not adjacent, it’s one purchase because both lots belong to the same owner. The larger lot, 21.13 acres, is situated by Hickory Lane/Segal Avenue in Bayville, where a lot of development has been taking place. The parcel the county wants to acquire is approved for two homes and some industrial uses. It’s near an 812-acre tract that was purchased from the NJ Pulver-
izing Co. in December 2016, that is now the Florence T. Allen Conservation Area and where the Barnegat Bay Trail is near. The second parcel totaling 3.10 acres is off Route 9 and fronts along Cedar Creek. There are two billboards on the property, which of course will come down once the county owns the land, Villinger said. That property is close to the township’s Dudley Park, but not anything owned by the county. County voters back in 1997 approved a 1.2-cent tax that goes into an Ocean County Natural Lands Trust. The program generates about $8 million a year. A nine-member advisory committee, established in 1998, nominates properties for the Freeholders to consider. Freeholder Director Gerry Little has said that in a county that’s 408,000 acres, about 60 percent of it is permanently protected against development through Pinelands, state parks and 21,000 acres preserved through the natural lands and farmlands programs.

Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!
Robert C. Shea Esq.
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
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.

Girls Welcomed Back To Jenkinson’s Shop After Incident of Racial Bias
By Kimberly Bosco POINT PLEASANT BEACH – The girls who were told they “were not welcome” at a Jenkinson’s boardwalk shop earlier this month have been officially welcomed back by township officials and store owners recently. Jersey Shore Online reported earlier this month that a group of African American girls were told to leave the Jenkinson’s shop by an employee. The incident was captured on video by Attiyya Barrett, director of the Princess to Queenz outreach group. The video showed the group of girls being asked to leave because they didn’t have a chaperone; when they returned with a NEED AN EMERGENCY HOME REPAIR? WE’RE HERE TO HELP AT NO CHARGE

chaperone, the employee told them they’re “not welcome here.” After an internal investigation into the matter, the employee in the video was fired. Several weeks following this incident, Point Pleasant Beach Mayor Stephen Reid the owners of Jenkinson’s received the group
of girls back for warm welcome and day of fun at the beach. The girls were bussed to the boardwalk courtesy of Jenkinson’s. In a press release, Jenkinson’s stated: “In our 90-year history, Jenkinson’s has always been and will continue to be the place where people from all races, religions, ages,
genders, and cultures are welcome. We are committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving our culture of diversity and inclusion. Jenkinson’s will also be conducting a diversity training program for its employees in the very near future to avoid this type of occurrence in the future.”

Island: Continued From Page 20 “As kids we had prams with 2- to 3-horsepower engines and we explored all the sedge islands,” he said from the Historical Society building on Hadley Avenue in Toms River. Hankins built every lifeguard boat along the Jersey Shore, Bovasso recalled. Sometime in the late 1960s, Hankins bought the acreage on Middle Sedge Island, and he also purchased the most westerly residential lot on the mainland where he could park his car. His boat was there so he would leave his car and motor to the island with his wife, Anna Ohlau Hankins, on the weekends. “After he built the house on the island, the federal government passed the Wetlands Act which said no one would be allowed to build anything else on the sedge islands,” Bovasso said. “So they would be out there by themselves, which Charles liked. He had a generator and his own well,” he said. “Somewhere along the line, he sold the house and the people who bought it immediately moved the two-story colonial house off the island by barge.” That’s true, said Patsy Tomlinson, whose bayfront home in Brick faces Middle Sedge Island. Tomlinson has lived in her Seawood Harbor home since 1973 and remembers seeing lights go on in the Hankins home every Friday night. “One day I was laying on my couch, looking out the front door and the house on the island didn’t look right,” she recalled. The house had been displaced to the edge of the island because it was being moved onto a barge. “Next thing I know, the house was moving downbay on a boat, and then we were told that they were installing underground utility lines for a new house, but it was all just chit chat.” The new home was built in 1991 and was owned by Dell Construction. In 2006 it was sold to Zero Barnegat Bay, LLC. Foreclosure documents were filed in 2012. “The new owners built a complex, an elaborate house. They had the utilities run down there, they had all the luxuries of life out
there,” Bovasso said. “Prior to Sandy, it was for sale and urban legend says that Robert De Niro was looking at it.” The utilities were run out to the island from the end of Strickland Street in Chadwick Beach. When the township of Toms River replaced the bulkhead there, they had to make allowances for the utility lines, which run out about 3,000 feet to the house, said township engineer Robert Chankalian. In 2015, Middle Sedge Island was listed for sale on PrivateIslands.com (an online private island brokerage website) for $6.5 million. The ad read, “Although it sits in the middle of a highly-populated beach community, Middle Sedge Island offers complete peace and seclusion from its next door neighbors who are at least a quarter mile away.” The property included 14.4 acres of a 25-acre island, accessible only by boat. Two Parker launches were included in the asking price, and secondary access by helicopter was possible since the island had a licensed helicopter pad. The 4,866 square-foot house had a pool room, rec room, wet bar, sun porch, built-in heated pool, a bocce court, a 1,200-square foot guest house and much more. According to the Toms River Tax Assessor’s office, bankruptcy was filed on August 8, 2016 in Towaco, NJ. The land value for 2018 is $2,053,700 and the house value is listed as $46,800. The mortgage company has paid taxes in full since the foreclosure. In 2017 they paid $49,025.68, and they paid first quarter taxes this year of $24,512.84, according to the Tax Assessor’s office. The Hankins family was prominent in Lavallette. Charles’ father was mayor of Lavallette from 1927 to 1930, and a bay front park in the borough bears his name. Charles’ brother James was also mayor of Lavallette from 1961 to 1964; and Charles’ wife, Anna, worked for the borough from 1956-1985, and Route 35 South in Lavallette is named after her. Charles Hankins died in 2003 and Anna Ohlau Hankins died in 2006.

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.
