By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – There are children and their families pouring into the courtroom of the Manchester municipal building, where the 6 p.m. council meeting will soon commence. The children range from pre-kindergarteners to tweens, who greet each other with squeals and quick side hugs. They’re all wearing street clothes. It seems unlikely they all attend the same school. “Do you know why they’re here?” one woman turns around to ask. “No. There’s nothing on the agenda about this,”
said another woman. And, it seems true. No sports awards or academic medals, although anyone who knows the school community would recognize Superintendent David Trethaway and Manchester Township Elementary School Principal Linda Waldron. Why are they here? Police Chief Lisa Parker’s presence isn’t unusual either, but the number of officers flanking her is. Five? Why are they here?

Meet The Board Of Education Candidates By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – A night for interested voters to meet the candidates for the Board of Education will be held from 6:30-9 p.m. on Oct. 9 at the Manchester Township High School auditorium. There are six candidates competing for two, three-year terms.
School board candidates don’t have political parties attached to their names on ballots, but they sometimes have slogans. The candidates are: • Christopher Nolan, incumbent, “For Our Children” • Donald Webster, Jr., current board president
• Bryan H. Jenner, “Education Matters” • Gayle Mount, “Count On Mount” • Sarita Dodd • Anthony S. Goltsch The event is being hosted by the Manchester Township Education Association.
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – It will be a quiet local election, as the three politicians up for re-election are running unopposed this year. Mayor Kenneth Palmer, Council President Craig Wallis and Council Vice President Joan Brush filed to run for their respective mayoral and council seats. No other petitions were filed. “I am honored to announce that I, along with my teammates Councilman Craig Wallis and Councilwoman Joan Brush, have filed our petitions to run for re-election in November. Since we are running unopposed, on behalf of Craig and Joan, we look forward to serving you for another four years,” Palmer wrote in a social media post. He elaborated a bit more in an email to The Manchester Times. “The past four years has been a blur but with a number of successes. We lowered the municipal tax rate three out of four years, accumulated a sizeable surplus which helped solidify our financial condition. We also made significant investments and improvements to our aging infrastructure and capital, revitalized two township parks, implemented a town-wide paving plan, added enjoyable programs to our recreation department, increased our police force and modernized the tools our officers need to keep us safe. Over the next four years my goal is to continue refurbishing our aging infrastructure and parks and ensure we make sound decisions about our growth. (Election - See Page 11)

including those who are deaf-blind. The work with Ava that MTES staff did will serve as model for other education professionals who work with deaf-blind students, Carly Fredericks said. “When we first met you, and we had the opportunity to meet Ava, we were all so excited about what she was going to teach us, and what a switch that is, because we’re the ones usually doing the teaching,” Waldron said. Nicole Raia was Ava’s teacher. “…The relationship that we built, we will treasure forever.” Carly Fredericks said anyone who knows her daughter knows she is very compet it ive, a nd most compet it ive against herself. Ava loves sports, and can be found with the boys playing football and running around. Despite that, she was hesitant to let her daughter

That’s something we don’t take lightly in our family.” Carly Fredericks is the founder and president of Ava’s Voice, an advocacy and financial assistance nonprofit organization that educates the public on Usher syndrome. She presented Trethaway and Waldron and other MTES staff, as well as Parker and the officers, the Ava’s Voice Community Impact Award.

And if she did not have her cochlear implants on, she would not be able to hear anything,” Carly Fredericks said. “So, it’s always hard for me, when she’s ready to make those decisions, how that’s going to be and how do I share that with the community?” She needn’t have worried. Ava’s application was accepted, and she was integrated into the program like any other kid. “So when I walked her up to that door I said, ‘She has hearing loss and vision loss,’ and the other off icer that was standing there said, ‘Okay. She can go right down that hallway,’ and I said, ‘Okay,’” Carly Fredericks. “So, it’s been moments like that we have been turned away. There have been many doctors that told us they wouldn’t serve us because it was hopeless. So, I get a little emotional, because I don’t think you realize the impact that that makes, just to say ‘yes’ and give it a chance.” T hat was t he best week of Ava’s young life, Carly Fredericks said. She presented the Manchester Township Police Department with their own Ava’s Voice Community Impact Award. Their
The Manchester Times, October 6, 2018, Page 5 accepting Ava showed the department’s commitment to equal access to typical youth experiences and teaches those with challenges that “anything is possible.” “Ava has a special place in our hearts,” Officer Chris Cerullo said. While some kids are at f irst intimidated by the badges, Ava was never like that. “… You turn your back, and Ava was down here in two seconds marching, saluting. She was better than most of the cadets that we see in the real cadet academy. She was phenomenal. She was probably one of the best athletes I’ve had in this academy.” Ava so impressed the depar tment, that when she ages out of the Youth Academy, she’s been invited to be its first juvenile instructor. All with Chief Parker’s blessing. So after the presentation, everyone who came to see the proclamation and awards given gathered outside the municipal building for a group photo. Then everyone broke off into their own little groups on the lawn, chatting, catching up, some children running around on the grass. Ava and a group of her middle school friends play “rock, papers, scissors” and break out into peels of laughter after each round. “I had this fear, that will she be accepted,” her mom said, standing off a ways. “We have always taught her to be herself. It is nice to see her being loved an accepted for who she is. “To us, she’s just Ava.”

NJ Coalition To End Domestic Violence Granted More Than $90,000 From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith TRENTON - The New Jersey Coalition to End Domestic Violence (NJCEDV), headquartered in Rep. Chris Smith’s (R-4th) Fourth Congressional District, will receive a federal grant of $90,931 from the U.S. Department of Justice for FY 2018, Smith announced. “The New Jersey Coalition to End Domestic Violence performs critical work every
day to be a lifeline to victims of domestic abuse and ensure they have the protection, shelter, and resources they need the most,” said Smith, author of the landmark Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (TVPA/ P.L. 106-386) which first authorized the grant program through which the coalition will receive the funding, in the
law’s provisions reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). “Since 1994, VAWA has provided $7 billion in grants to states and programs across the country. The funding provided through VAWA has been instrumental to our work in NJ; VAWA has increased the availability of crisis intervention services and legal advocacy, training and education to first responders, as well as increased protections for immigrant survivors and other underserved communities,” said Pamela Jacobs, NJCEDV Executive Director. She noted that NJCEDV looks forward to the reauthorization of the VAWA Reauthorization
Act, and “the opportunity to continue to strengthen our response to, and work to prevent, domestic violence in New Jersey.” The State and Territorial Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Coalitions grant program funds these coalitions in their efforts to end violence against women, which include providing funding, training, and assistance to member rape crisis centers, and through public policy advocacy and public awareness activities. NJCEDV is a statewide coalition of 30 domestic violence programs and concerned individuals with the purpose of ending domestic violence in New Jersey and helping
victims. The coalition has previously received grants from the program in 2015 and 2016 for amounts of $82,882 and $91,641, respectively. “I want to commend NJCEDV for their playing a direct role in saving lives and giving hope to survivors of domestic abuse,” Smith said. “They - and all partners working with them - are the first line of defense for these women and children.” The grant program was created through Smith’s provisions that reauthorized VAWA; the original VAWA helped draw national attention to the epidemic of domestic violence and invested significant resources to prevent domestic
abuse, assist the women and children victims, and improve the judicial system’s response to domestic violence. Smith will continue to work to support a legislative vehicle that reauthorizes VAWA. In 2000, Smith incorporated the stalled VAWA reauthorization package into his anti-trafficking law as Division B; in the reauthorization, Smith’s provisions expanded authorization of shelter space and counseling programs for victims of sexual assault, created new grant programs to address sexual assaults on campuses, and authorized funding for Domestic Violence and Child Abuse Enforcement Grants, among other actions.
Governor Murphy: More Than 13,000 Students To Attend Community College Free of Tuition and Educational Fees
TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy announced that approximately 13,000 qualifying students will be able to attend one of 13 community colleges free of tuition and educational fees in the spring semester that starts in January 2019. All 19 of New Jersey’s community colleges applied to participate in the Community College Innovation Challenge, signaling interest and need across the state. Each one of New Jersey’s community colleges will receive a $250,000 grant for student outreach, recruitment, and support, and to build capacity for future expansion of the program. The selected pilot colleges include institutions from north, central, and south Jersey. “We are putting the dream of higher education within reach of more students and more families,” said Governor Murphy. “Making community college tuition free will help New Jersey’s young people and working adults earn post-secondary degrees to advance their careers - and it will help build the talented workforce that is the engine of our state’s economy,” Murphy added. The Office of the Secretary of Higher Education (OSHE) and the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority
(HESAA) jointly reviewed the applications and selected the following 13 community colleges where qualifying students can attend tuitionand fee-free in the spring semester of 2019: Atlantic Cape Community College; Bergen Community College; Camden County College; Cumberland County College; Hudson County Community College; Mercer County Community College; Middlesex County College; Ocean County College; Passaic County Community College; Rowan College at Gloucester County; Salem Community College; Union County College; and Warren County Community College. Students enrolled at least half time at these 13 pilot community colleges will be eligible to receive “last-dollar” Community College Opportunity Grants (CCOG), which will cover any remaining costs of tuition and approved educational fees after applying all other financial aid grant awards to the student’s account. For the spring 2019 pilot, students coming from families with adjusted gross incomes between $0 and $45,000 will be eligible for CCOG awards. To remain eligible for the program in the future, students will be required to maintain satisfactory academic progress at
their college. “Every college submitted a unique, thoughtful, and creative application, with many good ideas for increasing access and affordability tailored to the students and communities that each college serves,” said Dr. Zakiya Smith Ellis, New Jersey’s Secretary of Higher Education. “Each and every college identified students within their communities who could be eligible for assistance through this program, and I hope we are able to learn from the pilot cohort so that we can extend the opportunity to students at every community college come fall 2019.” “Students across our state will receive support from this crucial funding during the program’s inaugural semester,” said David J. Socolow, Executive Director of HESAA. “For many students, the net price of community college remains out of reach even after accounting for the financial aid they could receive. Removing the barrier of tuition and educational fees can make the difference that enables students to complete their studies.” The colleges’ applications were evaluated according to a standardized rubric following the criteria announced in the Notice of Fund Availability posted on July 31, 2018.
HESAA estimates that the state will provide CCOG awards to approximately 13,000 students at the 13 selected institutions, in line with the funding level appropriated for this purpose in the state’s Fiscal Year 2019 budget. Current students who have already completed a financial aid application for the
fall 2018 semester will be automatically considered for CCOG eligibility if they enroll at one of the 13 pilot institutions for at least six credits in the spring 2019 semester. Students at one of these pilot community colleges who have not yet filed for financial aid for academic year 2018-2019 will have
until February 15, 2019 to apply for CCOG awards by completing the Federal Application for Federal Student Aid and the supplemental New Jersey state questions (fafsa. ed.gov/), or by completing the Alternative Application for New Jersey Dreamers (hesaa. org/Pages/NJAlternativeApplication.aspx).

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Local Hospital Treats The Whole Person, Not Just The Disease I want to share what happened to me when I went to the emergency ser vices depar t ment at Community Hospital in Toms River, on Su nd ay, the 16th of September. A f r iend d rove me t o t he ho s pit a l a nd we went into the e m e r g e n c y a r e a . It was well-kept, clean, and brightly lit! I was treated with kindness, dig n it y, hu mor, and gentleness. The entire staff was welcoming and smiling. T hey made me feel that I was the most importa nt p e r s o n i n t h e i r lives for the time they took care of me. I had to have several different kinds of tests, all of which were programmed by timed appointments and done within a few minutes as planned. No waiting on a gurney in any hallways. It w a s n e c e s s a r y for me to stay at the hospital overnight for o b s e r v a t io n . T h e r e is a new par t of the
emergency area called R DU, wh ich st a nd s for radical diagnosis unit. It was well-attended by physicians, nurses, aides and other person nel so that at no time did I feel stressed or abandoned. I ret u r ned home on Monday with recommendations to further explore the problem I was having. Tu e s d ay, a m e m ber of staff called to make sure that I would fol l ow u p w i t h m y personal physicians. When I did speak to t he m , t he y a d v i s e d me that the hospital h a d a l s o s p oke n t o them to alert them to my problems. Happily, when I shared this experience with some friends at Leisure Village West, they conc u r r e d w it h wh a t I had experienced. It is nice to know that such a wonderful facility is available to the residents in this area. Dolores Lomega Manchester

Letters To The Editor Coronato Will Be Sorely Missed You did an amazing job Joe Coronato. It’s a shame that partisan politics takes precedence over job performance! You are a true leader and an inspiration to other counties around the state and nation. Sorry to see you go as I know there were many, many things you still intended to accomplish. You’ve left this county a better place than you found it and for that I am grateful and thankful. Ryan Griffin Brick
In Support Of Free Press It’s been a while since I’ve read so balanced and honest an editorial in defense of free speech and free press (“A Letter To The Editor Is One Person’s Opinion,” Sept. 15, 2018). Congratulations and thank you. As every conscious citizen already knows and ought to acknowledge, attacks on both speech and press are generated and promulgated at the highest level of our government. Virtually all news outlets are fake news (including The Brick Times, of course, after publishing a letter about impeachment). Fox and kindred propaganda machines get a pass… or rather, praised, as they applaud and instruct their most faithful fan. In effect, the roiled and offended supporters of the power-that-be will do whatever they can to suppress free speech whenever it impacts their leader in a negative way. Tweets have also been abundantly employed, cascading like a mighty Niagara. I believe this support is well organized and strategically mobilized against free press and free speech that is unsupportive or critical of the leader. I learned this
Letters To ThepartsEditor truth the hard way. I used to closures, of Route 9 check the online comments following various letters I submitted over the years to the Asbury Park Press. I noted that the contents of my letters were usually not even challenged. The multitude of ad hominem rants included a few that called for my lynching, with one individual offering to bring the popcorn. This animus against me personally was multiplied by a routine “piling on” of attacks with nary a whimper or objection from people who may have thought as I did. Effectively, most reasonable people simply yielded the battlefield of Facebook and other “antisocial” media platforms to a rising surge of disdain for or indifference to facts, full adoption of and obsession with axiomatic “might over right” - “brawn over brain” - “surface beauty over inner substance.” Virtually every quality I learned in religion and seminary and believed to be a virtue reversed roles with its anti-virtue doppelganger. Pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth were transmuted into desirable virtues. Their opposites, once considered virtues, became worthless waste in this new zeitgeist. Forgive me. This started as a sincere and simple note of praise but then it got sidetracked. Please continue your good work. Nicholas S. Molinari Brick

Efficient drainage systems and ditches keep roads clear and open during flooding. Other states that traditionally experience flooding have successfully mitigated risks by investing in elevated roads and drainage ditches. Unfortunately, we have elected officials like Rep. Tom MacArthur (3rd District) who voted to give $1.9 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations but has consistently voted against disaster relief funding and failed to advocate for infrastructure investment. And MacArthur’s hero, Donald Trump, is using FEMA as a piggy bank for his priorities, imperiling South Jersey residents still relying on FEMA to assist them in restoring their homes. Tom MacArthur’s constituents need investment and leadership to keep our communities safe. But clearly this isn’t a priority for MacArthur. I urge residents to remember MacArthur’s priorities when voting in November. Kevin Kennedy Waretown
Imagine The Perfect Candidate I m ag i ne a ca nd id at e r u n n i n g fo r C o n g r e s s s ig n i n g t h e fol low i n g pledge: • Integrity: I will always speak the truth and pr ior itize the
public interest. Civ ilit y: I w ill re spect my colleagues, focus on solvi ng problems, and work to br ing civilit y to politics. • Courage: I will def e n d t h e r i g h t s of a l l A me r ic a n s a nd have the courage to c ol l a b o r a t e a c r o s s t h e a i sl e a n d f i n d common ground. We have one who has. His name is Josh Welle and he is running for the House of Representatives in District 4 of New Jersey on Nov. 6. Josh is a graduate of the US Naval Academy in An napolis, who just after 9/11 served in Afghanistan and 44 other countries over an active duty of 12 years. He is now a Commander in the US Navy Reserve. He is the founder of a security t e c h n o l o g y c o m p a n y, the lead editor of an LA Times best seller, “In the Shadow of G reat ness,” and a permanent resident of Monmouth County. He receives no money from corporate PACs. He is beholden only to us. It is time for a change. We need Josh Welle in Congress. •

Patients Need To Stick Up For Themselves The story about Allison Brutka was very informative, especially the part about her primary care physician being so dismissive (“Allison Brutka Is (In Her Words) A ‘Magical Cancer Unicorn,’ Sept. 15, 2018). I think she should tell him about her diagnosis in order to keep him from doing this to other women. He needs a wake-up call. I wish her and her family the best. Christine Johnson Whiting

Election:
Continued From Page 1 I am truly humbled to continue serving as mayor of our town.” Palmer ousted incumbent Michael Fressola and took office in January 2015. He’s a Manchester Township High School graduate and local attorney. He lives with his wife and three children. Brush said she’d like to get more ratables into Manchester. There are a few in the planning stages, but wants to make sure they come into existence. Wallis agreed. “The hardest part for us is, in this town, when you look at the towns that have a lot of businesses, we don’t have that many businesses, so everything falls on the residents,” Wallis said. “We need to get better ratables, like Joan said, but it’s hard with the DEP and Pinelands (the State Department of Environmental Protection and the Pinelands Commission, two bodies that govern development in environmentally sensitive areas), and everybody else shooting us down for
anything. But, if you look at the past years, we’ve been able to keep a very steady rate here, which is a good thing.” Things have gotten better in Manchester in the last four years, both said, and believe the plans for the township will get “better and better.” Wallis was elected in 2004 and has served on council since. He’s a former Marine and retired Air Force First Sergeant, and has worked as a site manager/planner since 1997. He’s lived in Manchester with his wife and daughter since 1996. Brush was appointed to fill a vacant seat left by former councilman Brendan Weiner back in March 2017. She then ran unopposed to fill the one-year unexpired term that November. This year is her first running for a full, fouryear term. She’s a former bus driver/trainer for the township schools, and is currently employed by a local real estate company. As for why no one else has thrown their hat in this year’s race, the answer seems simple. “People must be happy with the job we’re doing,” Brush said.

Hearing Aids Also Go On Sale
There is absolutely nothing wrong with giving the consumer better value for their dollar. As we all know, the economy is really not thriving and our retirement nest egg is half empty. The real question that you have to ask yourself is: what is the purpose of advertising lower priced hearing instruments? I offer you some of my own insights: 1. Lower priced hearing aids attract the consumer to possibly make an appointment. 2. Lower priced hearing aids may be more affordable to those on a fixed budget. 3. Lower priced hearing aids may be all the consumer needs in order to communicate better. If you decide to take the next step and have your hearing evaluated, you need to ask yourself the following questions: 1. Did the hearing health care professional recommend the lower priced product?
2. Did the hearing health care professional recommend a higher priced product? If so, what wa s h is/ her rationale for selecting this hearing instrument? In choosing the best product for your listening needs, you need to be aware of the technology - Is it a low, mid or a high level digital product? How many channels does it have? What type of warranty does it have? Does the product have dual-microphones? Do I have a trial period to evaluate the product? Do I have scheduled follow-up services? Do I have a written contract? Becoming an educated consumer will create a more positive outlook on improving your hearing and making the right decision. Remember, your lifestyle should help dictate the best technology for your listening needs. Hearing the sweet sounds of your grandchildren again will put a smile on your face and those who love you.
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!

The Allergic Connection Between Stevia And Ragweed By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
It’s hardly a secret that many foods today have non-sugar sweeteners added to them. As far as natural sweeteners go, stevia is the king. It’s in a bazillion food products, many of which are aimed at people with diabetes or obesity. Powdered supplements and lozenges often contain stevia, it’s everywhere! Stevia is a plant-derived herb, so obviously there could be allergies. Maybe your throat itches or seizes up when sipping a stevia-sweetened drink or when you chew on sugar-free gum. Maybe you sneeze or your lips itch. Perhaps it’s a coughing fit or hives and a rash. It’s all because of a very common allergen: Ragweed! Are you allergic to ragweed? If you are, then you are also susceptible to sensitivities from stevia consumption. Before I discuss allergic symptoms, I’d like to share the extraordinary medical benefits that stevia offers in case you’re not allergic to it. Most people are not. Stevia helps with: • Diabetes • Hypertension • Kidney disease • Pain and Inflammation • Infections • Diarrhea Stevia is two hundred times sweeter than table sugar, contains almost no calories, and won’t adversely affect your blood sugar when consumed. That’s why it’s an incredible herb for sweetening foods when you’re on a diet, or if you are just health conscious. But the problem is the family tree. Stevia was born into the Asteraceae family, or “Aster” which essentially means that
stevia is genetically kin to marigolds, daises, chrysanthemums, dandelion, lettuce, safflower, sunflower, artemisia (wormwood), artichokes, endive, and, most importantly, ragweed. This is a botanical family that allergen-prone individuals need to stay away from. In fact, there’s an estimated 23 million Americans who suffer from ragweed-triggered hay fever. Not all of those people are sensitive to stevia, or the other plants in the Aster family, but some of you are and may not have realized it until just now! Pollen from the ragweed and pollen from the stevia plant contain very similar proteins as part of their genetic makeup. This means that there’s cross-reactivity between them. Once the stevia protein passes through your gut, and gets absorbed by your bloodstream, it might get mistaken by your immune system and shot down! Your body might mistake it for the ragweed protein (because they’re so structurally similar) and then you’re faced with miserable allergic symptoms. I have written a longer version of this article that features other natural sweeteners, as well as advice to help determine if you’re truly allergic. Visit suzycohen.com and sign up for my free newsletter so I can email you this article along with precautions. In the meantime, keep track of symptoms that are suggestive of ragweed cross-reactivity such as throat, lip and mouth itching and swelling, hives, dizziness, coughing fits, temporary shortness of breath, or throat pain. If you feel like you’re sensitive, I recommend cutting out stevia from your diet until you get some answers and visiting a board-certified immunologist for testing.

Inside The Law Residential Real Estate Tax Appeals Basics
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates
Januar y is the time to consider whether to appeal your residential real estate taxes. This article will address some of the most commonly asked questions about tax appeals. The most important thing to understand about real estate tax appeals is what you can and cannot appeal. Under New Jersey law, you can only appeal that the assessment for your property is in excess of the property’s fair market value. The a ssessment is t he mu n icipalit y’s determination as to the value of your property. This determination is sent to each taxpayer around February 1 of each year in the form of a post card identifying the proper ty and the current assessment. It is equally impor tant to k now what you cannot appeal. You cannot appeal the following: (1) the amount of taxes which you have to pay; (2) whether you can afford to pay the taxes; (3) that another person is paying less taxes than you; and (4) that the assessment of another property is less than yours. Thus, the local County Tax Board can only hear appeals that the property’s assessment is greater than its fair market value. The municipal tax assessment is entitled to a presumption that it is correct. It is up to the taxpayer to prove that the assessment is excessive. To do this, the taxpayer must present evidence to the Tax Board as to the correct fair market value of the property. This evidence should be in
the form of sales of comparable properties which occurred Marc S. Galella Esq. o n o r b e fo r e O c tober 1 of the year pr ior to the f iling of the appeal. Since most people do not know how to obtain comparable sales, it is best to hire a State licensed or certified real estate appraiser to prepare an appraisal showing the comparable sales. The appraisal must be filed with the Tax Board no later than one week prior to the tax appeal hearing date. The appraiser should also be at the hearing to present the appraisal. In most cases all tax appeals must be filed no later than April 1 of each year. However, the appeal deadline may be earlier or later. It is best to check with the town as to the filing deadli ne. T he f ili ng deadli ne is strictly enforced and the failure to file by the deadline will result in the appeal being dismissed. Taxpayers seeking to file appeals should begin the process as soon as they receive the assessment card f rom the tax assessor. Because the laws and procedures regarding tax appeals are complicated, it is a good idea to retain the services of an attorney to assist you in filing and pursuing the appeal. R. C. Shea and Associates has a long history of obtaining reductions in tax assessments for our clients.

State: Overdoses Up, But Opioid Rxs Down
By Jennifer Peacock NEW BRUNSWICK – Overdose deaths across the state continue to rise, even as the number of opioid prescriptions continues to drop, officials said. State Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal presented findings from data collected by the Department of Law & Public Safety and its Office of the New Jersey Coordinator for Addiction Responses and Enforcement Strategies (NJ CARES). He delivered a keynote address at an opioid symposium at the George Street Playhouse. “In the Murphy Administration, we are committed to being transparent and educating the public about the costs that the opioid epidemic has imposed on our state,” Grewal said. “We still lose too many of our residents to drug overdoses, and the death toll continues to rise. But, if we look at the numbers, there are reasons for hope.” So far this year, Ocean County has lost 136 residents to suspected overdoses. In Monmouth County, it’s 151 deaths. New Jersey loses an average of eight residents per day to drug overdoses, based on 2017 figures. According to the Office of the Chief State Medical Examiner, there were 2,750 overdose deaths in the state, up from 2,221 in 2016. Naloxone has been administered 543 times in Monmouth, 461 times in Ocean, just this year. It was administered 621 times in Ocean County in 2016, and 671 times in Monmouth. “Unfortunately in 2016, Ocean County was second only to Essex County in its overdose death rate,” Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato told Jersey Shore Online. “Now you take a look at 2017, and you see that it really escalated in every
county in the state except Ocean. Ocean went down about 20 percent, and the rest of the state went up. …I think that speaks of programs we initiated in Ocean County. Not only the death rate went down, my sprays [Narcan administration] went down. My larcenies went down. My shopliftings went down.” Although heroin deaths continue to drop, fentanyl deaths are on in the increase, and accounted for almost 50 percent of overdose deaths in 2017, with 1,379 that year. Coronato calls that drug a “synthetic storm.” In 2014, 10 percent of drug overdoses involved fentanyl. By the end of 2018, he estimated that number will reach 85 percent. New Jersey mandated a five-day rule for initial opioid prescriptions, starting in March 2017. Opioid prescriptions have fallen. In Monmouth County in 2018, there have been 234,862 opioid prescriptions dispensed thus far, with a total of 371,731 dispensed in 2017. In Ocean County, there have been 261,399 such prescriptions dispensed in 2018, 417,019 in 2017 total. “A lot of problems start with pills, when can’t get access to pills, turn to heroin. The groundwork has been laid, by not fueling epidemic through pill process,” Coronato said, adding that he supports those efforts. Its fruits may take years to see, but it’s a good start. NJ CARES Director Sharon Joyce added: “The decreasing rate of prescription opioids dispensed in New Jersey shows that a smart approach to the opioid epidemic can help turn the tide. If we persist in our efforts to prevent addiction and overdoses, we can save lives.” More detailed data on the opioid crisis and its impact in New Jersey is available at njcares.gov.

OHI Offering Flu Shot Program At All Locations
By Kimberly Bosco NEPTUNE – Ocean Health Initiatives, Inc. (OHI) will be offering flu shots at all seven of their facilities for the 2018-2019 season. The flu shot can help prevent influenza, a disease that can affect all ages, leading to major health issues, such as hospitalizations or even death. Common symptoms include
fever, body aches, sore throat and headache. According to Dr. Gilbert Fleischer, Chief Medical Officer at OHI, its best to get your flu shot early because the vaccine can take two weeks to take effect. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also recommends that everyone six months or older get a flu shot between now and November.
In addition to getting the flu shot, health professionals urge everyone to maintain safe, healthy practices such as frequently washing your hands, avoiding touching your face and maintaining proper nutrition and exercise. You can schedule your flu shot at any of OHI’s facilities by calling 732-363-6655 or visiting ohinj.org. For questions about
the flu shot program, contact Kyle Fannan, marketing development associate, at 732719-1570. OHI accepts and will work with most insurance. For adult patients without insurance, the regular flu shot costs $20 and the high dose for seniors costs $40. Through the Vaccines for Children (VFC), a federally funded program, children without insurance, those who are self-pay patients, or those who receive Medicaid Plan A can receive a flu shot for free. The preservative free and egg free versions of the vaccine are offered at all locations.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCT 6 - OCT 12
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): It always looks darkest before the dawn. You could dwell on problems rather than blessings as this week begins. Don’t give anyone a reason to criticize your actions or make crucial decisions that could affect your heart or your wallet. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may have farfetched fantasies that create confusion in your cozy nest. In the upcoming week it is best to steer clear of anything that seems to be too good to be true. Remain businesslike and professional when you are on the job. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you set an example of hard work and busy schedules you can’t blame a loved one for doing the same. When you have time for play a lover might not have the time for dilly-dallying. The last half of the week is better for romance. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may need to uncover pertinent information that seems hard to locate. Valuable input will be available from associates and loved ones later in the week. If you have a problem, try putting it on the back burner for a few days. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It is better to polish your shoes than to buy new ones. In the week ahead, you should concentrate on making family members happy. Keep your credit card in your wallet and avoid the shopping malls because your good taste is in low supply VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be torn between devoting time to your family and the demands of the workplace or career. You will find it very easy to make astute decisions that involve finances in the week ahead. Avoid making a spur of the moment decision.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may struggle to charm your way out of a predicament. You may find that some other people are not loyal and honest. Although it may be difficult to meet someone’s exacting standards your business sense is in fine fettle as this week unfolds. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Knots can be useful and don’t necessarily represent a tangle. Careful splicing can bring two divergent things or people together into a united whole. Wait until at least the middle of the week to put your brilliant ideas and plans into motion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you pour money like water the pitcher will soon be empty. Take stock of your financial situation; you can’t trust to luck. Wait until the last half of the week to make significant changes or decisions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have heard about the tangled webs that we weave when “we practice to deceive.” This is a poor time to act on your basest interests or to pretend you have experience. Lay low and behave yourself in the first half of the week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Old friends from the past and reliable, dependable people could cross your path in the week ahead. You might find these folks unexciting or embarrassing, but you know you can trust them and count on them in a pinch. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep your money in your pocket for the next few days. Unexpected expenses could mount up. Fight off the urge to end a relationship or start a new one this week because you overlook potential repercussions or hidden drawbacks.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen A Simple Solution For Your Weeknight Supper
By Wolfgang Puck
With the new school year in full swing and kids involved in a whirlwind of after-school activities, it can often seem like precious little time remains to put a good home-cooked dinner on the family table. That’s a shame, since shared meals have always been one of the best ways to bring family members closer together. Fortunately, a smart solution to this very modern challenge can be found in an ancient Chinese cooking technique: stir-frying. Think about it for a moment: Even in the fi nest Chinese restaurants that you know, do you ever really have to wait very long for the food to arrive at your table? Stir-frying makes perfect sense for a quick, easy dinner. Small pieces of food cook in moments when stirred continuously in a large, hot pan. Add some aromatic seasonings that blossom enticingly on contact with heat, along with a few traditional Asian sauce ingredients, and a delicious main dish is ready to serve just minutes after you start heating the pan. That pan doesn’t even have to be hemispherical-shaped Chinese wok. I fi nd it easy to stir-fry in any skillet large enough to hold all the pieces of food in a single layer so they cook evenly; the curved sides help ingredients fall back into the pan during continuous, brisk stirring. The equipment and the cooking process aren’t much of a challenge. But I must admit that, when searching for stir-fry recipes, many people find themselves daunted by lengthy lists of sometimes hard-to-fi nd ingredients. That’s even sometimes true of recipes from my own Asian-inspired restaurants like Chinois, where we always aim for the utmost authenticity. At home, though, it’s OK to take some shortcuts; as long as they don’t shortchange the quality of the results. That’s why I’m happy to share versions of two of my favorite stir-fry recipes that I’ve adapted especially for the home kitchen, to give you authentic Chinese results without the need to go on any kind of special shopping expedition. You’ll fi nd the most out-of-the-ordinary ingredients - bottled hoisin sauce and rice vinegar - in the Asian foods section of any well-stocked supermarket. Both recipes are simple and surprisingly healthy, featuring lean proteins fresh vegetables. You can also vary the recipes as you like, substituting ground turkey, pork, lamb or beef for the ground chicken; and strips of chicken breast or lean beef for the shrimp, along with other quick-cooking vegetables you prefer. May your stir-frying lead to many delicious, enjoyable and easy family meals ahead! LETTUCE WRAPS WITH SWEET-ANDSPICY GROUND CHICKEN Serves 4 2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil 1 pound (500 g) ground chicken 2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 tablespoon minced ginger root 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional Kosher salt
Regular or low-sodium soy sauce 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce 1/3 cup (85 mL) orange marmalade 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 1 teaspoon toasted Asian-style sesame oil 8 medium-sized iceberg lettuce leaves, free of any tears, rinsed and patted dry 1 medium carrot, peeled and shredded 2 green onions, trimmed and thinly sliced diagonally Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and, as soon as it begins to shimmer and swirls easily when the skillet is gently turned to coat the bottom evenly, add the chicken, garlic and ginger, along with red pepper flakes to taste. Stir continuously with a sturdy wooden spoon, breaking up the chicken into small particles, until the meat loses all its pink color, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in salt and a little soy sauce to taste. Add the hoisin, marmalade, rice vinegar and sesame oil, and continue stirring until thoroughly combined. Arrange the lettuce leaves in cup shapes side by side on a large serving platter. Divide the mixture among the lettuce cups, and scatter carrot shreds and scallion slices on top of the chicken. Serve immediately. SHRIMP AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY Serves 4 2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil 1 pound (500 g) medium-sized fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon minced ginger root 1 green bell pepper, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and cut into strips 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide 1 red, orange or yellow bell pepper, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and cut into strips 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide 1 pound (500 g) snow peas, trimmed 1/4 cup (60 mL) hoisin sauce 4 cups (1 L) steamed white rice 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, lightly but evenly season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the skillet and, as soon as it begins to shimmer and swirls easily when the skillet is gently turned to coat the bottom evenly, add the shrimp, garlic and ginger. Stir continuously with a sturdy wooden spoon, turning the shrimp, until they begin to turn pink, about 1 minute. Add the bell pepper strips and snow peas, and continue stirring briskly just until the shrimp are bright pink and white and the vegetables are glossy and tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add the hoisin sauce and continue stirring briefly until it is glossy and coats the shrimp and vegetables evenly. Serve the shrimp and vegetables immediately over steamed rice, garnishing with sesame seeds.
