By Chris Lundy LAKEHURST – After a widespread mold problem last summer, Lakehurst Elementary School needed new ceilings, new supplies, and a whole lot more. Now that it’s been open for a few months, there was one thing that was glaringly missing. Staff members had b oug ht some f lags from hardware stores, but they were the tiny ones you might see on lawns. They didn’t have proper flags. Board of Education member Deborah Pease mentioned the problem to her aunt and uncle, (Flags - See Page 5)

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The township has awarded a 3-year contract of $370,560 to Water Treatment Technology, based in Westminster, Colorado, for radium removal at the Holly Oaks facility. Those wells on the township’s eastern side were shut down last summer. Well 8 had elevated levels of radium, and 7, near Well 8, was shut down after the most recent round of state testing. The Holly Oaks Treatment Facility was built back in the 1960s. “It was taken off line last year after slightly elevated radium levels. The well could have continued to be kept in operation for up to a year without treatment, but the township chose to follow the most conservative path and take it offline until permanent treatment could be put in place,” Director of Public Works Al Yodakis said. “The contamination is a naturally occurring element which is somewhat common for shallower wells in Ocean County. Several surrounding towns are also using the same or similar treatment.” Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal found in trace amounts in rocks, soil and groundwater. Guidelines allow for less than 5 pCi/L. Well 8 has tested within state limits for the last decade. However, the state testing July 10, 2018, found that Well 8’s rolling annual average exceeded what the state allows. The township immediately closed both wells. Yodakis further explained. “We can’t (Treatment - See Page 5)

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Elementary school students were recently treated to a visit from a local major general, who shared stories from his career. Major General John Gordy II, Commander, U.S.
Air Force Expeditionary Center, JBMDL, visited the students at Manchester Township Elementary School. He donned his flight suit and took questions from the students. “General Gordy spoke to our school communi-

and patriotism,” said Principal Linda Waldron, referring to the Medal of Honor character education program that the school participates in. “General Gordy also shared his love of flying and highlighted his favorite plane, a C-130. We learned about his adventures to all the continents and how he has been to over 30 countries.” According to his biography, in 1988 he received his commission through the ROTC program at the University of North Carolina. He’s had assignments at the squadron, wing, major command, combatant command, and joint staff levels, and has commanded at squadron and wing levels. He has served as a wing and numbered Air Force Vice Commander. He has more than 4,700 flying hours in the C-130 E/H and T-43 aircraft. He graduated from the United States Air Force Weapons School and National War College. Before his current assignment, Gordy served as the Senior Defense Official and Defense Attaché to Turkey.

Treatment:
Continued From Page 1 predict the radon levels but looking at the results from other towns in Ocean County, the levels tend to stay where they are once elevated. The treatment will stay in place if the facility continues to operate. We’re going for three years as we are exploring our options. We are looking at possibly drilling a new well and with interconnects to purchase water from surrounding systems. We’re taking a look at what makes the most financial sense for the township. “It will be back online once the treatment system is installed. We are hoping the middle of May. It has not affected the residents however we need the facility for our busy usage season when people are irrigating their lawns,” Yodakis said.
The Manchester Times, April 6, 2019, Page 5 derman said. When the rest of her post, American Legion Post 129 in Toms River, found out about it, they were happy to donate the flags. Her and her husband Bob brought the flags to the school one morning. The kids in a young class were very excited, shouting “It’s so big!” and “Oh my God it’s, like, touching
the ceiling!” A sixth grader shouted “We get our own flag!” while another said quietly “Thank you for your service.” And it was fitting that some of them were installed near HVAC vents, so the flags looked like they were blowing in the wind.
It’s more than just ceremony. Being this close to the base, more than 20 percent of the students at the school have parents working for the military, Superintendent Loren Fuhring said. “We’re super appreciative of the donation. Now our classrooms are complete,” she said.
“Please rest assured, our drinking water is safe and has been safe. Certainly, if there was an immediate concern, the state would not allow the township to continue to use the well for one year while we fix the issue,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer said when it was announced the wells were closed. “Based on scientific studies, one person out of 10,000 would suffer health risks if they consumed two liters of water per day for a period 70 years with levels in excess of 5 PCI/L.” Wells 7 and 8 are used primarily during the township’s peak summer irrigation season. The eastern area has been serviced by six wells for the last decade: wells 10, 11 and 12, which are deep wells that draw water from the Raritan Aquifer. These wells are located at the township’s water facility on Route 571 and supply the majority of year-round water. Wells 4, 7, and 8 are shallow wells that
draw water from the Cohansey Aquifer. Well 4 is on Route 70 near Leisure Knoll, and wells 7 and 8 are located adjacent to each other between Holly Oaks and Renaissance. Water Treatment Technology’s process “is the most effective and environmentally responsible choice you can make for remov-
ing radium from drinking water and the community. That’s because after removing the radium, we dispose of it in a licensed facility. With other treatment processes, radium removed from water may be sent to the wastewater treatment plant and can end up back in the local environment,” a company spokesman said.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F eatured L etter State Needs To See Effects Of Aid Cuts Good afternoon State Leaders, I am a very concerned parent and an extremely fearful district employee of Toms River Schools. T he d rast ic cut s t hat face ou r staff, teachers, and administration is det r i ment al to ou r school district and most importantly to our students who will reap this harsh consequence. Our school district cannot afford such excessive cuts. We have such a large school district with already large classrooms with an average size of 20 to 22 students in each element a r y class a nd over 22 students in each secondary classroom. I am a mother of three children who all attend Toms River Schools. I am concerned that my child ren are going to get lost in the shuff le with an abundance of students in each class. I have a son who greatly benefits from a smaller classroom size. His focus decreases when there is too much stimulation in the classroom with too many students. With a larger classroom size of over 30 children, my son is not going to be able to grow as he should and his academic performance will most likely drop. I know many children are in the same position as my son. We need ou r tea cher s so classroom sizes do not increase. This also poses a problem for the teachers. Teaching a larger classroom can get out of control and is more stressful on the teacher. How can a teacher teach 30 -35 st udents? Some parents can’t take care of 1 child...do we really expect a teacher to take care of 30 -35 students every day for 6 hours? The same goes
for our staff members who aren’t teachers. We all have so much work... who will do it all with all of these cuts? Are you as state leaders going to come to Toms River Schools a nd help ou r administrators with all of the work...maybe you should. Maybe then these cuts wouldn’t take place. I am also concerned about our children’s extracurricular activities and programs in all of our schools. If you take away our children’s only outlet for staying away from drugs and alcohol, my concern is children are going to get themselves into trouble. We want to keep our children safe, busy, and active and away from drugs and alcohol. If you take extracurricular activities and programs away from our children, this will only cause more problems and issues in the community. Why should our school d ist r ict be pu n ished? Cutting staff, teachers, administration, and extracurricular activities and prog rams for ou r ch ild re n is a pu n ishment. Our children were always taught you are only punished when you do something wrong... well what have we done wrong to deserve these devastating cuts? Our children are our future...our children deserve a good education. These cuts are only goi ng to ma ke lea r n i ng that much harder for our children. Please don’t do this to our schools, our community...our futures all depend on it. Thank you for your time and your consideration. Please let us be heard. Sheri Pereira Toms River parent and employee

The occupant of the Oval Office is modeling the United States of America according to the blueprint of Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin. Think about it.

Failure to pay homage to Putin - or not paying him the expected gratuities results in banishment from the inner circle of power, seizure of assets, indefinite imprisonment, expulsion from the Motherland and even assassination. No, we are not yet at the point of assassination-by-presidential-edict. However, our president’s fascination with and admiration of despots suggest that he envies their power and frequent practice of gratuitous imprisonment, torture and execution.

belittlement of traditional Christian virtues and of morality itself; continual attacks on Free Speech and Free Press; the flagrant flouting of all legal restraints; the betrayal of longtime allies and friends juxtaposed with the embracement of tyrants eager to destroy all democracies; the brazen flaunting of greed, machismo, mendacity and blind belligerence. Why do so many millions of Christians love and support this president? Here are a few theories for consideration: 1. Too many citizens idolize their children. This president speaks and acts like a child. 2. Too many find virtuous living boring or difficult. The president’s bad example frees citizens to skirt most virtues. 3. Too many citizens feed their brains with “bad TV” and even worse social media. Macho violence, nitwit comedy and loveless sex dominate the vast spectrum of our TV channels. TV-watching in the White House seems perpetual. 4. Too many have devalued intellectual pursuits and generally despise intellectuals, while seemingly preferring mediocrity… except in the case of their own doctors. 5. Too many Bible-readers are no more than that…readers…and not doers of the Biblical or Christian code of ethics they claim as their own. “Love one another” has become “Do unto him before he does unto you.” 6. Too many gratuitously attribute the rising stock market to the president’s taking up residence in the White House, although the recovery began under his predecessor’s tenure. Yet the current president claims all credit, and accepts no blame. 7. Like Judas who betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, too many Christians have betrayed Jesus’ alleged ideals by an unquestioning embrace of greed as virtue. Greed has trumped all hu-
president’s only “virtue.” 8. Too many hate to read or study or reflect. They readily identify with the non-reader in the Oval Office. 9. Too many consider politics to be sports entertainment. “No harm to the Republic, whatever the politicians do in DC!” so they think. The Italian people and the German people of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s thought the same. 10. Too many citizens with too much irony believe that Almighty God raised Donald Trump up to seat him at His side! Donald has trumped Jesus as the new messiah! 11. Too many think, speak and act like this president. They love him and like everything he says and does, whether good or evil. 12. Too many citizens fear and hate the same groups of people the president despises with his malicious cacophony of bigotry and racism. 13. Too many have a false sense of confidence in the viability of the American way of life (see #9). 14. Too many practice gullibility as if a virtue, believing literally every word that issues forth from the Trump tongue, then believing literally his later contradictory statements. 15. Too many citizens accept without challenge all propaganda blaring forth from radical “news outlets.” 16. Too many believe passion to be more important than rationality in politics and in all other human interactions. 17. Too many think that religions do not have to be accountable for the bad deeds they inspire in their adherents, just as much as they expect credit for the good they inspire. These people of religion reject the notion that a great deal of evil is done in (their own) God’s name. “Only other religions (gods) are guilty of that.” There are many other reasons for this president’s (Letters - See Page 18)

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
10th District Supports Toms River Superintendent’s Testimony CAPITOL COMMENTS 10th Legislative District Senator Jim Holzapfel • Assemblyman Greg McGuckin • Assemblyman Dave Wolfe
TRENTON - Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Dave Wolfe and Greg McGuckin (all R-10th) said that they stand by Toms River Regional School District Superintendent David Healy’s testimony, as deliv-
ered during a public budget hearing, stating that they will continue to fight for fair funding for students in Ocean County and throughout New Jersey. Superintendent Healy testified at a March 21, 2019
public budget hearing in Newark, urging officials to stop all further cuts until the flaws in the state’s funding formula are fixed. The severe funding cuts to schools within Legislative District 10 have been vehemently opposed by legislators, school officials, and students. “Superintendent Healy’s testimony shines a light on the glaring holes in our state’s school funding formula,” Senator Holzapfel said. “As a result of Gover-
nor Murphy’s funding cuts, District 10 is set to lose over $5.5 million in state aid for the 2019-2020 school year. On behalf of students and taxpayers in our district, we will continue to speak out against the deeper cuts that will be imposed in the years to come if the governor’s budget proposal becomes law.” “We have been met with nothing but silence from the State Department of Education when we questioned their lack of transparency
in calculating Local Fair Share,” Assemblyman McGuckin added. “Stating that the calculations for determining Local Fair Share are ‘proprietary’ seems to be an excuse for withholding valuable information from our school district. We believe all school districts should have the right to know how the property and wealth calculators in the formula are obtained.” “We vow to fight the cuts imposed by Governor Murphy and the Democrat-con-
trolled Legislature, whose members have been completely unresponsive to the needs of local students and taxpayers,” Assemblymen Wolfe said. “Our office is working diligently with local school officials and our colleagues in Trenton to restore funding for our local schools. We will not roll over and allow Democrats to redirect millions away from our school districts at the expense of our student’s education and our resident’s tax dollars.”

David MacCaffrey: The Shannachie Of Glenndunbun Ballybeg
LAKEHURST – The Lakehurst Borough Historical Society is pleased to present “David MacCaffrey: The Shannachie of Glenndunbun Ballybeg: Traditional Celtic Tales.” The wit and wisdom, humor, horror, and humanity of a people are found in their stories. Compelling storyteller David Emerson retells (and embroiders) the colorful and ancient tales of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall in a presentation that will “warm, tickle, or chill the heart.” With or without a pint in his fist, MacCaffrey spins traditional lore of fairies, ghouls, ne’er-do-wells, tricksters, banshees, heroes, and liars, plus original stories with an Irish tint. David Emerson’s career as a storyteller, raconteur, and prevaricator par excellence began back in the early 1980s as a historical character interpreter. David has fascinated visitors at such prestigious living history mu-
seums as Colonial Williamsburg, Plymouth Plantation, Morristown National Park, and the Old Barracks Museum. David has performed for hundreds of museums, festivals, cultural organizations, libraries, historical societies, festivals, schools, and community groups throughout the Northeast. He is proud to be a popular speaker with the New Jersey Council for the Humanities’ Horizons Speakers Bureau. His style is traditional, reminiscent of a cozy evening by a hearth at a family ceili. David’s stories are particularly appreciated by adults, and younger folk down to age 8. The event is free to the public and will be held at the Lakehurst Community Center Auditorium, 207 Center Street at 7 p.m. on April 17. Come early as seating may be limited. Light refreshments will be served after the program.

Cuts To Medicare, Social Security Proposed President Trump recently revealed his

Among other items, it includes a 5 percent increase in military spending, a further $8.6 billion for his fantasy border wall and new work requirements for food stamps and other federal assistance programs.

ping $1.9 trillion. No mention was made of candidate Trump’s pledge not to alter these “entitlements” in any way. Most of my friends and neighbors here in the retirement communities dismiss the mainstream media because they have been assured, on no authority whatsoever, that it presents fake news. They get their information (such as it is) exclusively from Fox News. This outlet duly reported and briefly discussed Trump’s 2020 fiscal plans, at one point almost gloating over the proposed work requirements. Only one item was omitted: any mention of slashing funds for Medicare and Social Security. Devotees of Fox News consequently will be left unaware of the full nature of Trump’s plans for their physical and financial health, nor will they ever understand that only a Democratic House of Representatives can prevent the actual realization of these intentions.

Fire Safety For Those With Hearing Loss
Welcome Spring! Book Your Spring Cleaning Now!
Convenient Payment Options Available Most Major Insurances Accepted Care Credit Available
ROBERT J. VERDIER D.M.D.
There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearing Americans who cannot rely on traditional sound-oriented smoke detectors and therefore are at a disadvantage. Decreased hearing can limit a person’s ability to take quick action and escape during a fire emergency. Those with hearing loss need to take extra precautions to protect themselves from the hazards of home fire. This includes being aware of the availability of f lashing and/or vibrating smoke alarms and having an effective escape plan in place. Have the proper alerting system: Smoke detectors are not doing their job if you can not hear them. Consider the following statistics: 20 percent of home fires occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., yet these fires account for more than half of all home fire deaths. Something to keep in mind: most smoke detectors produce a relatively high frequency (3000 kHz) sound. Recent studies have revealed that this frequency is not particularly effective in waking u p children, heavy sleepers, those taking sleeping pills or other medication and those who have had too much to drink. In addition, high frequency alarms are almost completely ineffective in alerting people with high frequency hearing loss, accounting for about 90 percent of people with hearing loss and all deaf people. Install a flashing or vibrating smoke alarm on every level of your home. Test all smoke alarms
monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. People with hearing loss are at greater risk from night time fires because their hearing instruments are typically out of their ears when sleeping. Not all alerting devices meet every need but some do come close. The ideal device would not only sound an alarm but also f lash a light and vibrate the bed. This would alert the three most important senses simultaneously. There are a great number of smoke detectors designed specifically for those with a hearing impairment. Light-tone HL bedside fire alarm and clock alerts you by sounding a loud low frequency and vibrating the bed. The combination of the low frequency alarm sounding and the bed shaking wakes even heavy sleepers. Silent call makes great alerting systems that work with more than just smoke detectors. Plan you escape: An important tip is not to isolate yourself. Inform family members, the building manager or a neighbor of your fire safety plan and practice it with them. Contact you local fire department on a non-emergency phone number and explain your special needs. They can help with your escape plan, perform a home inspection and offer suggestions about smoke alarm placement. They can also keep your information on file.

Colon Cancer Grows Faster With Sugary Drinks
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
It’s more bad news for sugary drinks that contain high fructose corn syrup or HFCS. According to a new animal study, consuming a small amount of this sweetener can speed up the growth of tumors. The study focused on intestinal (colon) tumors and the amount of high fructose corn syrup was equivalent to the amount found in one can of soda. I’m concerned because I know somewhere out there, children are celebrating their birthdays with lots of candy and beverages that are high in HFCS. The amount of corn syrup found in a can of soda appears to give mice bigger colon tumors. You might be thinking that other factors came into play such as weight, or illness, but the results of this mouse study were actually independent of compounding factors. This finding comes at the same time as another concerning trend is coming to light. That is more and more young adults are being diagnosed with colon or colorectal cancer in their 30’s and dying from it. High fructose corn syrup is a liquid sweetener, derived from corn that consists of both glucose and fructose in a ratio of 45 to 55. So it’s a blended sugar that contains two different natural sugars, and it is mainly fructose which is a fruit sugar. The fact that sweet drinks accelerate tumor growth within the colon begs the question about other tumors. Does it drive tumor growth for other cancers, or just colon? And it raises the question about soda,
candy, yogurt and frozen foods which use HFCS as the sweetener of choice. Does sugar directly feed cancer cells? Or is it the weight gain associated with HFCS that is really driving the problem? Is it because these types of sugars are ‘drug muggers’ of your probiotics? You cannot have a healthy immune system to even recognize cells that have gone rogue, if you don’t have a healthy gut microflora. If you have a sibling or parent who suffered colon (or colorectal cancer), you should take this research seriously as I do. My brother died of colon cancer and so I stay tuned in to research, especially because it’s so easy to choose another beverage over the ones that are suspect when it comes to tumor growth. Maybe it’s not “easy” … as I type that sentence I’m reminded of a conversation I had with one of my sweet friends today. I don’t normally lecture friends, because I love them just they way they are. However, this friend drinks 15 cans of soda a day, every day. Remember, the HFCS studied was the same amount as that found in one can of soda. Today while we were driving home from lunch, I mentioned this article I was writing, and the new research and I asked her point-blank, if she would consider consuming just 10 cans a day, and replacing 5 cans with fresh water. This was her reply: Water? No. It’s only good for showers, and for flushing your toilet.” I tried. You should at least try once, if you care about someone, right? My intentions were good

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured. The Standard Policy does provide medical
expense benefits (PIP) Michael J. Deem coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates 732-505-1212 for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

BlueClaws Unveils New Logo For Hispanic Outreach Initiative
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – The Lakewood BlueClaws will be taking on a new identity this season as part of the new 2019 Copa de la Diversion Hispanic outreach initiative. For four games of the 2019 season, the BlueClaws will become the Medusas de Lakewood, a new title unveiled on March 18 at the Ocean County Library in Toms River. In attendance at the unveiling were dozens of kids from O.C.E.A.N., Inc. Kids, a “Community Action Agency [that] has provided services to income-eligible residents assisting them in moving towards self-sufficiency.” The kids played corn hole, colored pictures, played a ring-toss game, musical chairs, Hula Hoop Hustle, and got to hang out with the BlueClaws’ very own mascot, Buster. These children are exemplary of those that will benefit from the Medusas’ Dia de los Ninos program, which allows underprivileged local families in Monmouth & Ocean Counties the opportunity to enjoy the Medusas games through ticket donations. The Copa de la Diversion translates to the “Fun Cup,” a campaign aimed at connecting the Minor League Baseball teams with their local, diverse communities. These four games will feature special activities and highlights geared towards Hispanic and Latino culture.
For more info email: jlcarpet@comcast.net
General Manager and Team President of the BlueClaws, Joe Ricciutti, noted that Copa de la Diversion games will feature mariachi bands, diverse vendors, and Latino foods to celebrate the local community. “What you see when you walk in the gates – the food, the music, the live entertainment – all of that is going to have a very specific feel to it,” said Ricciutti. Ricciutti also noted that bilingual staff will be on hand for those in the local Hispanic community who might not be as proficient in English. “It can at least help in making sure that there are no barriers,” he said. These special additions to the typical BlueClaws game night are done in cooperation with Jorge and Betty Rod of the National Association for the Advancement of Latino People. Other donors include Morgan Stanley of Red Bank, Jose Angeles Painting & Decorating of Jackson, and Prudential. According to the BlueClaws, the Medusa was chosen as the Copa de la Diversion mascot for its significant symbolism. “Native to the nearby Atlantic Ocean, the Medusa, or jellyfish, boasts five tentacles to represent strength, faith, trust, family and acceptance found within the LatinX community. The logo’s vibrant colors represent the Jersey Shore’s diversity and familial love displayed throughout the region,” (Logo - See Page 28)

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Gabriella Clark enjoys the same things many seven-year-olds do: swimming, dance lessons, and playing with friends and with her sister, Jordan, 5. Gabby’s mother Jennifer Hartman said that when she was pregnant with Gabby she had some complications, and was in and out of the hospital at 26 weeks until her daughter was born by C-section at 34 weeks. “She was 5.2 pounds and completely normal, and then the doctor said ‘I’m sorry, she has Down syndrome,’” Hartman recalled recently from the living room of her Cherry Quay home. “I didn’t think anything of it,” she said. “She was my baby, and luckily she didn’t have a heart defect as many with Down syndrome do. She didn’t need any special checkups or anything, so we continued on with life.” “Gabby” was just named ambassador for a New Jersey Down syndrome organization called “Nothing Down,” which seeks to change the way the world views people with Down syndrome and to change the conversation about intellectual disabilities. Down Syndrome is a chromosomal condition that occurs when someone has an extra copy (or a partial extra copy) of chromosome 21. The nucleus of each cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, half of which are inherited from each parent. According to the National Down Syndrome Society, the extra genetic material alters the course of development and

causes Down syndrome characteristics, such as low muscle tone, small stature, an upward slant to the eyes and a single deep crease across the center of the palm. In the U.S., one in 700 babies are born with Dow n sy nd rome, or 6,000 a year, making it the most common chromosomal condition. Gabby is considered to be non-verbal, but understands everything and is learning sign language. She is in second grade at Drum Point Elementary School in a classroom for children with multiple disabilities. She loves school, especially gym and art, and she loves her teacher, Michelle McNeary, and the three paraprofessionals in the classroom, –Photo by Judy Smestad-Nunn Miss Sue, Miss Sharon Gabriella Clark, 7, was named ambassador for Nothing Down. She is pictured with her mother, Jennifer and Miss Linda. Hartman, and her sister, Jordan Hartman, 5. Hartman said she began to follow “Nothing Down” on FaceBook 14 video projects and their photo series has sadors across the globe who have become the face of Nothing Down. Their message when the organization was started three been shared by over 100 million people.

She said Hartman has done a great job of sharing Nothing Down programs and has always shown enthusiasm by applying for the different projects and getting people excited and involved in the organization’s events. “And on top of all that, Gabby has a smile that can brighten anyone’s day,” Daughtry wrote. Gabby has a FaceBook page called “Gabby’s Journey,” and Hartman said that Gabby
The Manchester Times, April 6, 2019, Page 31 has brought the whole family closer since the day she was born. “She’s just like any other kid, it’s just a little difficult because she doesn’t talk,” she said. “She has no issues in school at all - when we walk in everyone says hello to her.” Sometimes when they’re out, Hartman said she can hear parents telling their children not to stare at Gabby. Her advice? “Just go up and say hello and make friends. She’s just a typical little girl who wants to play and do everything they want to do,” Hartman said. “She’s just a little slower. Treat them like anyone else,” she said. The mission of Nothing Down is to provide support, advocacy, education and opportunities for individuals and families that have been touched by Down syndrome. For more information, visit their FaceBook page or visit nothingdown.org.

Local Family Honoring Life-Saving Organ Donor With Fundraiser
By Kimberly Bosco SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Mike Mania was diagnosed with sarcoidosis in the early 1990s. It wasn’t until 2013 that this diag nosis would change his life forever. The US Department of Health and Human Services defines sarcoidosis as “a rare condition in which groups of immune cells form lumps, called granulomas, in various organs in the body…Sarcoidosis can –Photo courtesy Christine Mania affect any organ.

According to Mike’s wife life-saving donor, Samantha Pesaresi. “The wait was long with the anxiety of Christine Mania, his sarcoidosis began to “f lare up” following complications waiting for “the call” where we would be with the surgery at the same time he told that they had lungs that were a match was developing adult respiratory distress which Mike so desperately needed to syndrome (ARDS), which is a condition survive,” stated the Mania family.

“Time was certainly not on Mike’s side since he was becoming very ill as each day passed and his window was closing to be able to receive a transplant. But, on September 7, 2013 at 3:11 in the morning, we received the second call that they had a match for Mike,” they stated. This match was Sam Pesaresi. The website created in Sam’s honor – samsspirit.com/about-sam – provides a little background on the young woman who saved Mike’s life. “Known as “Sam” to her family and friends, Samantha Pesaresi was truly the definition of a “giving” human being. Sam would drop everything to help someone in need and never ask for a thing in return. She was endlessly grateful and thankful for all that life had given her and lived each day to the fullest,” read the site. Sam was a graduate of Albright College and a starter on the school’s hockey team. Following her accomplishments at school she began working at Sheridan Communications in Alpha, New Jersey and worked as an assistant field hockey coach for Woodglen Middle School in Lebanon Township. While Sam also had plans to attend Drexel University for graduate school, this dream never had the chance to become reality. Sam passed away on September 6, 2013 from a catastrophic brain aneurysm. While she was an accomplished young woman at the age of 23, Sam still had only just begun to live her life. “Because of her giving and self less personality, her parents thought it was only fitting for her to be an organ donor. This decision allowed Sam’s death to save three lives the day that she passed,” read the site. Sam donated her heart, lungs, and liver. One of these lives saved was Mike’s. Mike had his t ransplant surger y on September 7, 2013; the day after Sam’s passing. Since that day, Mike has had a “new lease on life,” his wife said. In honor of Sam’s life and her gifts to the world, the Mania family is hosting the Shore Sprint for Sam on March 30, 2019 in Seaside Heights.

The Manchester Times, April 6, 2019, Page 33 Sam’s honor to raise money for scholarships and brain aneurysm research. After Mike’s successful transplant surgery, he and his wife began communicating with the Pesaresi family via letters through the Gift of Life Family House, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit that works with Sam’s Spirit. “Some time went by and we began writing each other, we finally met at one of their walks [in 2016] that they have done in her [Sam’s] honor and have become friends and attend the functions that they have to raise awareness for organ donation, brain aneurysm research as well as scholarships in her name,” said Christine. The Manias got to know Sam’s family a little more through continued correspondence. One thing they discovered was that Sam loved the beach. It seemed only fitting that the Mania’s choose the Jersey shore at Seaside Heights to host their fundraiser. “We thought it would be nice to host a walk ourselves in her honor for her foundation so we can give back for what we have received,” Christine told Jersey Shore Online. Mike is now five years post-transplant and doing better than ever. “Life for Mike now is amazing, not only for him to be able to watch his children grow up, witness their accomplishments and milestones and any future accomplishments and milestones, but he no longer requires the need of oxygen tanks, tubing and no more of a struggle to breathe doing the simplest of tasks,” said Christine. While Christine admits that while there are still some struggles following such major medical conditions, Mike is happy to live life to the fullest with his children, ages 25 and 19, and his wife. Shore Sprint for Sam will take place on March 30, right around the anniversary of Sam’s birthday, at the Seaside Heights Boardwalk. You can donate by purchasing a special Shore Sprint t-shirt at inktothepeople.com/shore-sprint-for-sam. The walk will begin at Carteret Ave. where you can register and pick up your shirts. “You really can’t put a price on what our family has received and what the donor family has lost…but whatever we can raise is good enough for us,” said Christine.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee
By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides. Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in
addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology. After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the office,

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of APR 6 - apR 12
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): True friends show their true colors. When facing a crisis, you’ll find that you have plenty of support at your side. Avoid becoming too emotionally involved with an issue as an objective approach works best. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Keep your attention focused on one objective at a time and ignore distractions. Devote all your free time this week to doing what you love most. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Warm spring air thaws the heart. You may find a renewed vigor toward romantic pursuits that creates a restless itch that needs to be scratched. Take a loved one along for an exciting adventure in the coming week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Get going while the going is good. An abundance of energy and a meticulous nature makes this the ideal week to cross items off your to-do list. Your greatest satisfaction comes from your accomplishments. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you’ve got it, flaunt it. Don’t hold back when it comes to showing off your skills. You could end up impressing those who can make things happen for you. The quality of your opponent sweetens the victory. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t jump to conclusions. Reserve making a final judgment until all the facts become available or you risk making a serious mistake. Err on the side of caution and don’t be pressured into making snap decisions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): The grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence. Don’t be so quick to envy what someone else has as you may already be better off as you are. Stick with the truth no matter what the situation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A body in motion stays in motion. Keep yourself active in the upcoming week as the building momentum that ensues will allow you to be extremely productive. Stay in close contact with a significant other. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be sure to read the fine print. Carefully study documents or agreements before signing on the dotted line or risk getting more than you bargained for. It may be the right week to make a major change. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Leave well enough alone. Avoid the urge to tinker with finances as you may only end up making things worse. In the week ahead you can relive past glories by getting in touch with someone from your past. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A good deed should be reward in itself. However, karma may guarantee that your kind acts are reciprocated just the same. Let your hair down and look for ways to just have fun in the upcoming week. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Follow your head instead of your heart. Flowery words may delude you into seeing what you want to see but if you remain grounded in logic you will see the truth. Data may come from dubious sources in the week ahead.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Two ‘Underground’Vegetables Join Forces In A Soup You’ll Want To Share By Wolfgang Puck One of the happiest benefits of the farmers’ market revolution is the fact that food lovers get to discover products that not so long ago were unknown or unavailable. Seeing beautiful piles of produce in a market stall and talking with the people who grew them encourages cooks to try vegetables or fruits that they may once have been wary of tasting through unfamiliarity, much in the way that toddlers sometimes instinctively turn their heads away when introduced to new foods. Two of my favorite ingredients whose profiles have risen in recent years - thanks in part to farmers’ markets are sunchokes and fennel bulbs. I like to think of them as both literally and figuratively “underground” vegetables, because they grow beneath the soil and once were little known to the general public. What’s especially interesting and pleasing to me is how well they complement each other, as you’ll see when you make my recipe for sunchoke and fennel soup. “Sunchoke” is the modern-day name now generally given to what once called the Jerusalem artichoke. The name has changed largely for accuracy, since the knobby little tuber (an underground stem, or rhizome, like a potato), which looks a bit like overgrown ginger, neither comes from Jerusalem nor is related to the artichoke, apart from a shared slightly nutty flavor. In fact, the first part of the former name comes from the fact that it’s part of the sunflower family, and the Italian word for that plant is girasole, literally meaning “turning toward the sun” as sunflowers tend to do; though it was mistranslated into English as a reference to the Holy Land! Sunchokes are highly versatile, delicious raw in thin slices or cooked in a wide variety of ways. Fennel bulb, meanwhile, is related to the feathery, anise-scented herb called fennel. The bulb is wonderfully crisp and refreshingly flavorful, delicious raw in salads or cooked. Some people, however, may object to its hint of sweet licorice-like flavor. But when you bring cooked sunchokes and bulb fennel together in a pureed soup, something marvelous happens. That licorice flavor recedes to become subtly herbaceous, while the sunchokes harmonize perfectly with their mildly nutty richness. (I also include a potato to lend the mixture just a touch more body, as well as a large shallot for its sweetly oniony aromatic note.) The result is an elegant, beautiful soup worthy of a special dinner party, especially if you take the optional extra step of deep-frying some thinly sliced sunchokes to add a delightfully crispy garnish like miniature potato chips. So please visit your local farmers’ market soon and try these unheralded stars of the vegetable world. I hope you’ll agree with me that they were meant for each other! SUNCHOKE AND FENNEL SOUP Serves 6 to 8 1 lemon, juiced, squeezed halves reserved 1 cup (250 mL) water 2 pounds (1 kg) sunchokes 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium shallot, diced 1 pound (500 g) fennel bulb, trimmed and diced, small fronds reserved for garnish 1 medium baking potato, peeled and diced 3 cups (750 mL) vegetable stock or broth, plus extra as needed 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt Coarsely ground black pepper, for garnish Sunchoke Chips (recipe follows), for optional garnish Put half of the lemon juice and a squeezed lemon half in a mixing bowl with the water. Peel and cube the sunchokes, and put the cubes in the lemon water. Heat a stockpot over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and then the shallot and fennel. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are fragrant and begin to look translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the diced sunchokes and add them to the pot along with the potatoes, followed by the 3 cups of stock and the salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the potato and sunchokes are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining lemon juice. Working in batches if necessary and following the manufacturer’s instructions for pureeing hot liquids, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth; keep pureed batches in a clean bowl, and then carefully transfer the pureed soup back to the pot. Stir in more stock as needed to reach a fluid consistency you like, and gently reheat the soup over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally. Ladle the soup into heated serving bowls, garnishing each serving with chopped fennel fronds, coarsely ground black pepper, and, if you like, sunchoke chips. SUNCHOKE CHIPS 1 pound (500 g) unpeeled sunchokes, scrubbed clean Vegetable oil, for deep-frying 1 tablespoon kosher salt Fill a large bowl with cold water. With a sharp knife or a mandoline, carefully cut the sunchokes into thin slices about 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) thick, immediately dropping them into a bowl of cold water to prevent browning. Rinse and drain the slices 3 times, and pat them very dry with paper towels. Pour enough oil into a large, deep skillet to reach a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Clip a deep-frying thermometer to the side of the skillet and heat the oil to a temperature of 375 F (190 C). Alternatively, use a countertop thermostat-controlled electric deep-fryer, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Working in batches to prevent overcrowding the skillet, fry the sunchoke slices until golden brown, stirring occasionally with a wire skimmer, 3 to 4 minutes. Using the skimmer, transfer the chips to paper towels to drain; sprinkle with some salt. Once the chips have cooled completely, store in an airtight container at cool room temperature until needed.
