By Jennifer Peacock LAKEWOOD – Some people know their calling from an early age. Robert Tobias was one of those people. “He grew up as a kid knowing he would be a police officer,” his older brother, John Tobias,
said. “He loved his job.” Robert Tobias was 21 when he started with the Manchester Township Police Department, the youngest officer at that time, John said. He had been with the department just over a year on May 17, 1975.

It was around 5:45 p.m. at mile marker 35.8 on Route 70 westbound. Officer Tobias was conducting a motor vehicle stop, standing at the driver’s side door, when another vehicle struck and killed him. He was 23.

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – She was having dinner with a friend when the tingling started, up and down her left arm. She thought she was having a heart attack. Sabina Skibo, the longtime clerk for Manchester Township, was taken to the hospital where she was told her heart was fine. Tests showed some neurological issues without a firm diagnosis at that point. The next morning, making a fist with her left hand was impossible. She was hospitalized and ran through a battery of tests. Quickly, she lost

Forty-four years later, to the day, John Tobias said he can still picture his brother sitting in the chair in their mother’s living room, getting ready to go to work as if it were yesterday. “Today is a special day. Every day is a special
day,” John Tobias said. He laid two red roses at the Ocean County Honor Roll memorial for his brother at the 28th annual Ocean County Law Enforcement Memorial Day Observance May 17, (Officers - See Page 6)
Higher Ratables Mean Lower Town Taxes
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – What’s your favorite Starbucks drink? The cost of one is what you’ll probably save in municipal taxes this year. The Manchester Township administration offered a brief introduction to their proposed 2019 budget. A full presentation and its adoption are slated for 6 p.m. June 10 at town hall, 1 Colonial Drive.
The $35.7 million budget is increasing from last year’s adopted $35.039 million budget. The local levy - the amount taxpayers are responsible for - is increasing $120,000 to $20.7 million. “However, since last year, we’ve had $18 million in new ratables, which more than covers that additional local levy,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer said May 13. “So (Ratables - See Page 15)

Continued From Page 1 2019. He planned to purchase a grave blanket to lay at Robert’s resting place at St. Mary’s after the ceremony and sit and talk with him. “I know he is with me all the time,” John Tobias. “We all feel that way.” The observance commemorates the ultimate sacrifice made by 18 law enforcement officials and their families in Ocean County since 1927. Family members, flanked by officers from their loved ones’ respective departments, laid roses in memory of those lost. Lakewood Police Chief Gregory Meyer accompanied two sets of families to the memorial. His department lost two officers within 5 years: William “Niche” Pressler #270 on May 14, 2007, and Christopher Matlosz #317 on Jan. 14, 2011. Pressler died in a car crash on New Egypt Road when he swerved to miss a deer and hit a tree. Matlosz was shot and killed when he stopped a 19-year-old man walking along August Drive wanted on an outstanding warrant. That man was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Pressler’s death inspired the department to participate in the Police Unity Tour, the annual “ride for those who died” each May. Officers and their supporters ride bicycles to the Washington, D.C., National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. “We tend to appreciate our family more, our coworkers more,” Meyer said. Pressler’s death especially was one of the first many in the department ever experienced. “We got a tighter bond together. We’re hyper vigilant. It made us a better agency.” The observance is held each year at the Ocean County Police Academy and is attended by law enforcement and government officials and families. This year, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer delivered the keynote address, honoring all those who died but highlighting two officers his own office lost, Detective Tina Rambo on Aug. 1, 2011 and Detective John Stevens Jan. 21, 2015. He called both “dedicated public servants” and “kind and compassionate human beings.” He also remembered those left behind: the families. “There are no words that can lessen your pain, no speeches that will ease your grief.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Holzapfel, McGuckin & Wolfe Call On Murphy To Use Extra Funds To Stop Cuts To Brick & Toms River Schools approximately $250 million ahead of projections. “Governor Murphy has proposed cutting $5.5 million from the Brick and Toms River school district budgets next year, which has resulted in a massive number of teacher layoffs that will impact our classrooms,” said Holzapfel. “If the Governor is now sitting on hundreds of millions in extra tax revenues that he wasn’t expecting to collect, he must make fully funding our schools, protecting our
TRENTON – Senator Jim Holzapfel, Assemblyman Greg McGuckin, and Assemblyman Dave Wolfe (R-10th) said any unexpected state tax revenues should be dedicated to fully funding school districts like Brick and Toms River that have been hit with massive cuts in aid under Governor Phil Murphy’s proposed FY 2020 State Budget. The Governor recently said that State tax collections for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, are running
teachers, and educating our children his top priority.” As part of the Governor’s budget proposal for the coming year, school aid to Brick and Toms River would be cut by $2.74 million and $2.78 million, representing reductions of 8 percent and 4.2 percent in state aid, respectively. “It’s school districts like ours that succeed in providing a quality, affordable education to our children that always seem to pay the price for other people’s inability to do
the same,” said McGuckin. “Governor Murphy is flat out wrong to shift funding from our schools to other districts that have already mismanaged billions. We shouldn’t reward failure. The governor should take the opportunity presented by unanticipated state revenues gains and do the right thing by funding our schools at the levels they deserve.” In Brick, Governor Murphy’s funding cuts have resulted in a district budget for next year that eliminates
62 positions, including three kindergarten teachers, 17 teachers in grades 1 to 5, five high school teachers, 15 special education teachers, and five teacher aides. Brick Township property taxpayers would also be forced to pay 3.5 percent more in local school taxes to cover some of the lost state funding. In Toms River, the cuts proposed by the governor have resulted in the need to eliminate 80 positions, including 61 teachers, and raise the local
Progress Made To Restore Point Pleasant Beach Damaged By Recent Storm past week. “Good beaches are essential to a successful local economy, tourism, and our shore town residents,” said Smith. “As promised by USACE, high dunes must be accompanied by wide beaches and appropriate slopes, and we’re counting on the Corps to follow through with this important

tor Weeks Marine back to Point Pleasant Beach for re-pumping, once the contractor completes the work in Bay Head. “I am writing to you once again about the critical coastal storm damage reduction project in Point Pleasant Beach, N.J., in my congressional district which the Army Corps of Engineers has been diligently constructing in recent months,” Smith wrote. “Constituents have told me first-hand accounts of seeing their long-awaited, replenished beaches nearly washed away, with sea waters reaching the very foot of the
dunes,” Smith said. “I have been in contact with Point Pleasant Beach officials, as well as Keith Watson, the Corps project manager, to express my support for the borough’s request that the Corps act as quickly as is possible on concerns about restoring the beaches.” Smith also spoke to Mayor Steve Reid to assure that he would work with the Corps to repair the recent damage. “This is great news,” said Reid. “We appreciate the Corps trying to do this. I want to thank the Congressman for once again working on Point Pleasant Beach’s behalf.”
school tax levy by 2 percent. “As someone who spent decades teaching, I am appalled by the governor’s efforts to gut the quality of education in suburban school districts like ours that have always operated efficiently,” said Wolfe. “Governor Murphy has the power and the money, apparently, to undo all of the harm he has proposed inflicting on our schools. We believe he should use the extra $250 million in taxes he has collected to fully fund our schools.”
Smith noted that along with Mayor Reid, he has heard from State Sen. Holzapfel, and Borough Councilman Paul Kanitra. Smith felt that since the Point Pleasant Beach section of the Corps’ project is still underway and not completed, and while the construction equipment is still in the area, it seemed logical and cost effective that the Corps restore the beach to its planned width before the aforementioned powerful weather system, in order to achieve the project’s primary goal of reducing impacts from coastal erosion and storms.

Committee Enthusiastic About New Elementary Math Program
MANCHESTER – Committee members involved in the selection of a new elementary math program for Manchester Elementary Schools were clearly enthusiastic about their choice of ‘Ready Classroom Mathematics’ when they presented to the Board of Education at the May 2, 2019 special meeting. Elementary Curriculum Supervisor, Michelle Nichol, said the committee looked at seven highly rated programs before deciding on Ready Classroom, which was by far their first choice. She said the program focuses on real world authentic connections, mathematical practices, problem solving, discourse and collaboration. Instruction is highly personalized to meet the needs of students at all levels. It also includes a robust diagnostic component that provides teachers with instantaneous progress monitoring to pinpoint each student’s needs down to the sub-skill level. Nichol said the program teaches students to see math as meaningful to their life, helps them visually make connections to concepts, and to look at different ways to solve a problem and then use the strategy that works for them and makes sense to them. “We want to teach our students to become mathematical thinkers.” said Nichol. “Through student discourse, problem solving, and fluency practice we can build mastery of skills in our students.” Ready Classroom lessons use a Try It-Discuss It-Connect It Routine. Try It - make sense of the problem, then solve and support your thinking. Discuss it - share your thinking with a partner and compare strategies. Connect it - make connections and reflect on what you have learned, then apply your thinking to new problems. Throughout lesson activities, students work as a whole group, in small groups, and independently using a variety of print, online and hands-on materials. Basic Skills and Special Education Teacher, Valerie Schaefer discussed that teachers in grades 2-5 have been using the iReady Diagnostic assessment this school year for Math. Teachers have used the tools within the student reports and the trial resources in Ready Classroom Teacher Toolbox to personalize instruction.

Third grade teacher Robyn Palmer said the program is the perfect balance of print and online materials. She also said it is very easy for teachers to use. Another component that the committee felt set this program apart from the others was the personalized online instruction that provides students with individualized learning modules that can be used at both school and home. Plus, she said, the program implementation includes various methods of professional development for our teachers, in addition to the support resources embedded within the program. Special Education Teacher Laura Weaver said since using trial resources within Ready Classroom and the strategies presented, she has never seen her students have math discussions like they do now. Fifth grade teacher Shari Buhnerkemper remarked, “I can’t even begin to tell you the incredible amount of change I have seen in my students after trying out the strategies and program materials.” Buhnerkemper went on to explain that the program teaches a solid foundation for Math concepts across grade levels. Nichol said the program will be implemented in the fall for grades 2-5, with grades K and 1 diving deeper into the program to determine its use for them for the following school year. Teachers will receive an initial professional development training before the school year comes to a close, and will be supported throughout next school year. “All of our classroom instruction supports best practices in math instruction, and it was evident from the committee review that our teachers are enthusiastic about Ready Classroom Mathematics,” said Nichol.

Around The Jersey Shore NatoGeo Live Hosts Brian Skerry In Toms River
TOMS RIVER – National Geographic Live, National Geographic’s touring speaker series, and Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College are proud to announce “Ocean Soul” with Brian Skerry, a National Geographic Photography Fellow and renowned underwater photographer. The event will take place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 6, 2019, at the Grunin Center. Growing up in a small, working-class town, Brian Skerry dreamed of exploring the oceans and becoming a National Geographic photographer. Today, Skerry is one of the leading underwater photographers in the world. Since 1998, Skerry has covered a wide range of stories for National Geographic, documenting the harp seal’s struggle to survive in frozen waters, the alarming decrease in the world’s fisheries, the planet’s last remaining pristine coral reefs, the plight of the right whale, and threatened sharks in the Bahamas, to name a few. His images celebrate the mystery of the depths and offer portraits of creatures so intimate they sometimes appear to have been shot in a studio. Skerry dives eight months of the year, often in extreme conditions beneath Arctic ice or in predator-infested waters, and has even lived at the bottom of the sea to get close to his subjects. He has emerged as a leading voice for marine conservation. In 2017, National Geographic Books published SHARK, a collection of some of Skerry’s most breathtaking shark images throughout his career. Skerry’s powerful presentations showcase award-winning imagery and thrilling wildlife encounters, inspire reverence for the marine realm, and offer hope for protecting the vitality of the

Palmer anticipated the township’s surplus would be around $7 million this year, but had to make a change to that figure to $3.5 million. “We got some funding in for the water project that we had to pay out, so we paid it out this year, and we’ll get it reimbursed from the state next year, so it will be a surplus benefit next year, not this year,” Palmer said.

the Development of a Civil Society.” This led Wayman to devote her energies to help educate women globally. Wayman is a longtime member of the OCC Foundation Board, assisting in the establishment of the College’s 100 Women mentoring and scholarship program, the Advisory Board of Women in Leadership and Learning at The College of New Jersey, the Ocean County Board of Displaced Homemakers Service, the Toms River Rotary Club, the Northern Ocean County American Association of University Women, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Ocean County. Recognizing the transformational impact of leadership development, mentorship, travel, and participation in curricular and co-curricular offerings, Wayman has made significant investments in the education of women. It is her intention that the Fund will continue her commitment to this endeavor. The H. Hovnanian Foundation has contributed to numerous special projects, supporting health care and education around the world. Last year, the Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Foundation gifted $3.75 million to the OCC Foundation for the naming of the new Health Sciences building, establishing scholarships for nursing and the health sciences while paving the way for new programming and exciting future opportunities here at OCC. The 47,000-square-foot H. Hovnanian Health Sciences Building was dedicated in June 2018 and will ultimately serve as many as 600 to 800 students per day. Hirair Hovnanian, President and Founder of Hovsons, Inc., is a founding benefactor of the Armenian Assembly of America. Since his arrival to the U.S. on a freighter in 1951, Hovnanian has built one of the most successful privately held land and housing development companies in the country. In recent years he has dedicated his time and efforts to the betterment of society and to the Armenian-American community. Anna Hovnanian, born Anna Hamparian, passed away last year. She was an artist who hoped to encourage and develop the artistic talent and higher education of Armenian youth. Event Chairs: Noelle Carino, OCC Foundation Board Chair, and Kenneth J. Malagiere, OCC Foundation Executive Director Tickets: $200 per person.

Albuterol Helps Kids Undergoing Tonsillectomies
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. If your child has to undergo a tonsillectomy, there is important research newly published in JAMA Pediatrics that I’d like to share with you today. Years ago, tonsillectomies were performed due to recurrent infections, but today, the reason for this surgery is more likely to treat obstructive sleep problems that cause coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing and bronchospasm. In adults, breathing difficulties occur during sleep and are quite uncomfortable and scary. The symptoms of SDB range from loud snoring, to complete blockage of the breathing airways (during sleep) termed sleep apnea, or obstructive sleep apnea. In children, tonsillectomies are common surgical procedures and not considered high risk. Unfortunately, half of the children experience a problem during or right after the procedure that has to do with their lungs, ability to breathe with comfort and other symptoms. For example, tonsillectomies can frequently cause problems ranging from coughing, bronchospasm, laryngospasm and airway obstruction to oxygen reductions in the blood, coughing, and stridor, the term for wheezing which occurs due to a blocked windpipe or larynx. These symptoms are extremely frightening for both the child, and the doctor, not to mention the parents if are present during an episode. My hope today is that my information allows your child to get through the procedures without these terrifying problems. Researchers conducted a study to see if they could help kids and get to the bottom of all of this. So they gave half the study
participants 2 puffs of a popular asthma drug called albuterol sulfate (a.k.a salbutamol sulfate). The other half received a placebo, meaning a non-medicinal inhalation. The experts wanted to see if the asthma drug could serve as a pre-treatment drug to lower the risk of children experiencing peri-operative breathing difficulties during their tonsillectomy. Sure enough, it helped, just 2 actuations of albuterol administered via inhalation and taken shortly before anesthesia (and before the surgical procedure) could help reduce the risk of these adverse events that surround tonsillectomies. The placebo group experienced a lot of breathing problems, almost half of those kids had an issue. In the albuterol-treated group, only 28 percent of kids had an issue. This is quite significant. The researchers concluded “Premedication with albuterol should be considered for children undergoing tonsillectomy.” If you are the parent of a child that requires a tonsillectomy, be sure to tell your doctor about this research, don’t assume they know it because it just got published literally days ago. It also begs the question if albuterol (which is cheap and easy to get by prescription) could be helpful for other people with breathing difficulties, such as apnea. The answer is no. There isn’t any clinical evidence to support the use of this asthma drug for apnea, or loud snoring, and in fact, albuterol is stimulating, and it may interfere with restful sleep. Albuterol is a quick-relief inhaler designed primarily for asthma as a rescue aid. It’s not an apnea drug. If you have apnea, use a CPAP device.

MS:
Continued From Page 1 all movement on the left side of her body. Skibo could only walk with the assistance of a cane. Her doctors here were baffled. So Skibo finally visited a physician in North Jersey who ordered another round of testing. The results came back immediately: Skibo had multiple sclerosis, a neurological disorder that causes blurred vision, weak limbs, tingling sensations, unsteadiness, memory problems and fatigue. The body’s immune system attacks that central nervous system - the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. Those attacks – inflammation - destroy the body’s myelin, the fatty substance that protects nerve fibers. There are four general disease courses - Clinically Isolated Syndrome, Relapsing-remitting MS, Secondary progressive MS, and Primary progressive MS - that determine how severely the disease affects the body. Skibo was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS, as are about 85 percent of those diagnosed with MS. According to the National MS Society, that phenotype is “characterized by clearly defined attacks of new or increasing neurologic symptoms. These attacks – also called relapses or exacerbations – are followed by periods of partial or complete recovery (remissions). During remissions, all symptoms may disappear, or some symptoms may continue and become permanent. However, there is no apparent progression of the disease during the periods of remission.”
There’s no known cause and no cure for MS, which affects 2.3 million people worldwide, according to the WorldMSDay. org. Most people are diagnosed between the ages of 25 and 31, and more women than men are struck with the disease. No one in Skibo’s family was ever diagnosed with MS. She had been out of the country with one of her children a month before, and believes she picked up some virus that triggered the disease. “Normally, you are diagnosed up to the age of 50 is the norm. So, that was actually a few weeks before my 50th birthday,” Skibo said. The diagnosis triggered something else in Skibo: a depression. She described that time as dealing with a death, the death of the life she had planned to lead. But one woman she met through an MS support group gave her some perspective. “She told me I had three months, and I said, ‘What do you mean I have three months?’ You start, oh my God, because you think it’s a death sentence when you get diagnosed. And she said, ‘Three months to get off your pity party, and picking yourself up, and deciding what you want to do, and not letting the MS decide how it’s going to run your life. So, you can live with MS, you just have to learn to manage your life around that.’ And so, I do.” The epicenter of her disease is located in her spine. She suffers from crushing fatigue and extreme pain, especially in her spine, but manages symptoms through diet, light exercise and medications. “I try not to let it stop me from doing what I need to do,” she said. “I’m a person who
has MS, but it does not define who I am.” Her family is the most important thing to her, she said. She also loves her job and is proud of the work she does as municipal clerk in Manchester. She’s passionate about both, but realizes that there are times she has to slow down and rest. She said both her family and colleagues have been supportive of her new normal. It’s been 13 years since her diagnosis. A year after learning of her MS, Skibo’s son formed “Sam’s Squad,” a group of friends who walk to raise money in the Walk MS: Seaside Park every year. Skibo raised nearly $2,000 for this year’s walk, which took place April 27. The money goes to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society “It was through the efforts of the township. We have employees who are so generous. They host a breakfast. It’s a donation to the MS Society but they get a breakfast and they get a dress-down day, so it’s a lot of fun for everybody. They’ve been very good to the cause every year,” she said. The particular evil of MS is its unpredictability. While there are general symptoms associated with the disease, it’s progression and severity hits each individual differently. According to the National MS Society, some people can live asymptomatically for decades while others will rapidly decline. Forced by necessity, Skibo has immersed herself in medical research about MS. She’s excited about stem cells, those that come from adults or umbilical cord blood, and how that might one day offer a cure, or the very least a therapy to halt the disease’s progression and possibly reverse it. She has
benefitted from interferon betas that have likely helped prevent her from slipping into a more progressive form of the disease. “Everybody has some disease, illness, pain, and you need to understand where people are coming from, because visually, from the outside, I get that a lot. ‘Oh my God, you have MS? I would never have thought that,’” Skibo said. Yes, she has MS; she has very limited feeling in her left arm and had to reteach herself to type after her initial MS attack. “It’s difficult because people see you and they don’t understand. It took my family a while to get that I looked good from the outside but I’m having a bad day. So it’s difficult, but those days come for everybody no matter what their affliction is. You just have to get past that. So if you learn to do what you need to do to move forward, and get your family to understand that sometimes you can’t keep those commitments that you would love to have kept, sometimes you just can’t do that, and my family has come to understand that. People from the outside looking in, sometimes it’s a little more difficult for them to understand unless they’ve seen you at your worst. I hide most of that at home. “I’m one of the lucky ones. I’m still walking, which is why I do the MS Walk every year. …I’m not going to change a thing I do. Until there comes a point where it stops me in my tracks, and I’m hoping that doesn’t happen, I don’t know what the future holds. I just play it one day at a time, and hope I get through another day and I’m still walking, I’m still talking, I’m still functioning.” World MS Day is May 30.

Health Dept. Recognized For Breastfeeding Services Program
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Health Department Women Infants and Children Program (WIC) was recently recognized for excellence in lactation care by The International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE) and International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA).
“The Ocean County Health Department is delighted to receive this award and couldn’t be any prouder of the WIC employees and administrators that have dedicated themselves to the residents of Ocean County by providing the highest standard of lactation care, education and support,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean Coun-
ty Board of Health. OCHD’s Breastfeeding Support and Services Program received the IBCLC Care Award for staffing professionals who hold the prestigious International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) certification and providing a lactation program for breastfeeding families. “The IBCLC Care Award is the result
of a lot of hard work by our staff and the dedicated efforts to promote and provide a lactation program that makes expert assistance available for breastfeeding families in Ocean County when they need it. The program is geared to encourage and educate breastfeeding families about the significant benefits and management of breastfeeding as well as training health care professionals in the community to assist families achieve their breastfeeding objectives,” said Daniel E. Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator. In addition, the facility has also completed a variety of activities that help protect, promote, and support breastfeeding. “Breastfeeding is the natural way of providing young infants with the nutrients they need for healthy growth and development, but it is also a journey and success in supporting and sustaining breastfeeding is a long-term investment between moms, their support systems, and the healthcare community. With this in mind, the WIC Program is dedicated in supporting efforts to encourage and promote breastfeeding through diverse and far-reaching initiatives intended at giving children their very best possible start to life,” said Patty High, OCHD Assistant Health Coordinator.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Can’t Sleep
Dear Joel, I listen to you almost every morning on Preferred Company, so I thought that I would ask you a question since you are a huge part of my life every morning for a few hours. I have been having a problem sleeping in my bed because the mattress is too firm and my husband is very adamant about not changing the mattress. There are some nights when I can’t even fall asleep, so I sleep on the couch instead. How do I explain to my husband that we need a new mattress without him getting upset? Clare Eatontown, NJ
t h at you a re communicati ng to you r husband that the reason why you are not getting a good night’s sleep is because of the mattress that you are using. If this does not work, then I would consider buying a mattress where each of you can control the firmness and softness on each side. Some of them are rather expensive though. I think the best bet is to get a mattress that both of you can get a good night sleep on. If all else fails, I would consider getting separate beds. Joel
Dear Clare, Thank you for listening to my radio show Preferred Company every morning. I am sorry to hear that you are going through this. Make sure

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Robert C. Shea Esq. Let’s Start Holding Insurance Companies Responsible For Their Willingness To Delay, Deny And Defend
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
New Jersey Association for Justice and R.C. Shea & Associates strongly support A-4293, a bill which protects insurance consumers from unreasonable delays in the payment or denials of legitimate claims. When someone buys an insurance policy, that person has a simple expectation - which is that the insurance provider will be there in their customer’s time of need. Too often, however, insurers seek to avoid paying claims in order to protect their bottom lines. We are very concerned about the rising trend of insurance companies acting in bad faith by unreasonably delaying or denying payment that is justly due. This is practice is unfair and wrong. Insurers should have their customers, not their shareholders be their highest priority. A-4293 recognizes this obvious injustice and remedies it by allowing those filing claims the first-party right to sue their insurance companies for bad faith if and when those companies fail to properly settle claims. Insurance companies have civil and criminal remedies available to hold people accountable if they commit insurance fraud. They have the Office of Insurance Fraud as an arm of state government to investigate and prosecute insurance fraud when the companies are victim. But, the honest consumer does not now have a remedy against an insurance company when a valid claim is denied or delayed. This bill levels the playing field so consumers are protected when they are the victim of insurance fraud. Whether it is for claims relating to declared disasters or automobile coverage that they are required by the State of New Jersey to purchase, the first-party right to sue levels the proverbial playing field. It allows consumers to hold powerful insurance companies accountable for delaying or denying just payment to their customers. Automobile insurance is perhaps the only product that people are required to purchase
but are then forced to seek permission in order to use it. Additionally, the Michael J. Deem provider of that insurance product is then permitted to tell the consumer that he or she cannot use a product that they have already purchased. A-4293 corrects this situation. This bill seeks recognition of that fact that insurance companies should be held to account when the fail to act in good faith. This is a simple expectation that every consumer has when they choose to do business with any company. The fact that auto insurance consumers are required by law to purchase this service and that they are putting the wellbeing of themselves and their loved one in the hands of the insurance companies only increases the stakes. In far too many cases, insurance companies delay, deny and defend claims. This dishonest practice forces their customers to fight for needed medical care, treatment for injuries or funds to repair damaged property. When an insurance company unjustly delays or denies the payment of legitimate claims, consumers must have the right to go to court. Presently, consumers in this state have no practical remedy if their insurance company unreasonably delays or refuses payment on a claim. Insurance customers are entitled to have their claims resolved in a fair and equitable manner without unreasonable delay; this is why they need the ability to seek redress when an insurance company acts in bad faith. We strongly encourage our readers to contact their Legislature and ask him/her to pass A-4293 which would provide much needed insurance consumer protection. R.C. Shea & Associates can help you contact your Legislature. Please do not hesitate to call us: (732) 505-1212.

Officials Begin Water Testing At County Beaches
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Officials from the Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) are gearing up once again to perform water testing at the county’s public beaches. Established in the 1970s, the Ocean County Health Department Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program (CCMP) has proved to be one of the nation’s longest running and most comprehensive beach testing programs. “It’s a big job every summer season, but the Ocean County Health Department will once again monitor most of Ocean County’s ocean, bay, river and lake beaches along with swimming pools, hot tubs and water parks,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little. “The Ocean County Health Department inspects water quality every week at 68 public bathing beaches throughout the county from mid-May through Labor Day 2019,” says Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Water samples will be taken from the county’s salt and freshwater swimming beaches each week. These samples will then be tested for two types of bacteria - enterococcus and E.coli. If the results come back with higher than acceptable levels, the water is immediately retested and the town is notified. After the second high reading, the beach is closed and tested daily until bacteria levels return to normal. While closures aren’t very common, they can occur after a heavy rainfall as water runoff washes animal waste, lawn care products and other bacteria into the water. “Everyone can pitch in to help make a difference to keep our waterways and beaches clean by picking up after our pets and not throwing trash or cigarette butts onto the streets,” stated Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator. “This waste eventually empties into lakes, rivers and the bay and contributes to our beach closings.” OCHD officials provide the following tips for staying safe at the beach:
• Observe swimming advisories; do not enter the water at a beach under a swimming advisory. • Avoid swallowing water when swimming; natural waters may contain disease-causing organisms that can cause gastrointestinal illness if swallowed. • Avoid swimming for a few days after heavy rainfall; bacteria levels are likely to be high and disease-causing organisms are more likely to be present after rainfall due to pollution from land runoff and other sources. • Prevent direct contact of cuts and open wounds; natural waters may contain disease-causing organisms that may cause skin infections. • Do not swim if you are ill or have a weakened immune system; some organisms are opportunistic and may only cause illness when you are already ill or your immune system is weakened. • Shower with soap after swimming; showering helps remove potential disease-causing organisms. Swim away from fishing piers, pipes, drains, and water flowing from storm drains onto a beach. • Do not dispose of trash, pet waste, or dirty diapers on the beach. According to Regenye, OCHD posts water quality reports for all monitored beaches at ochd.org. Up to the minute reports can be obtained by calling the 24/7 hotline at 732341-9700 ext. 7776 or at 1-800-342-9738 ext. 7776. “Visitors from all over the country and Ocean County come to enjoy the 44 miles of beautiful beaches and the many other recreational waterways and the Ocean County Health Department wants to ensure everyone is protected and safe,” added Little continues. For more information regarding the OCHD Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program, please call 732-341-9700 ext. 7685 or follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth or like us on Facebook.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of may 25 - may 31 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): If charisma was a peach, you’d have an orchard. In the week to come you may feel more attractive and appealing than usual. Your ability to stick to a commitment may be challenged by friends or family. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may not realize it, but your friendly outlook and eclectic tastes can make you a trend-setter. In the upcoming week you may be attracted to the strange and unusual, but you will have the good sense to choose wisely. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your life can become better than ever. Use your creative imagination to visualize unity with loved ones and financial comfort. In the week to come you could have chances to make your most wonderful dreams become reality. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You must use trust when money is involved. Your faith can be challenged, however, if someone second-guesses or questions your reasons or motivations. Use a common-sense approach in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your heart may be filled with love and affection in the week ahead. If you are single you could find the person of your dreams; if you are already in a romantic union your bonds could be tightened and reinforced. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Prepare to enter into an agreement, make a promise, or get advice from someone in the know. Make your priority list, and as this week launches you can check off the most important boxes. Discuss long term plans with friends.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Polish up your public persona in the week to come. You should be able to make a good impression on someone by demonstrating your loyalty and sincerity. Savvy friends can help you make better business decisions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Honor traditions as needed but incorporate new ideas as soon as they have proven themselves. In the week ahead you can use novel ideas, imagination and vision to upgrade your job or working environment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Pair up with people who can offer mutually beneficial terms. As the week unfolds you may enjoy a surge of confidence. Refuse to be discouraged if someone bursts your bubble, or by minor mix-ups. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Find time to enjoy family and friends. You don’t need to worry that by neglecting work you will lose traction in the pursuit of your ambitions. This is a week to focus on love and close connections. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put all the pieces together until the picture becomes clear. Acting on an impulsive idea can work in your favor as this week goes by. You may be inspired to purchase something that lifts your spirits. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make a profit by placing your trust in others. Because you are likeable and reliable you may receive an opportunity to increase your net worth in the upcoming week. If research proves it out, go ahead and sign.

This Blockbuster Season, Add A Gourmet Touch To Your Favorite Snack By Wolfgang Puck SPICY RANCH POPCORN Makes about 4 cups (1 L) Serves 1 to 4 For the popcorn: 1/4 cup (60 mL) canola oil 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon unpopped popcorn kernels SPICY RANCH POWDER 1/4 cup (60 mL) evaporated milk powder or buttermilk powder 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon citric acid powder 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes For the popcorn, put the oil in a heavy-bottomed 1 1/2- or 2-quart saucepan. Add 3 or 4 kernels of the popcorn and place the pan over medium-high heat. When these test kernels pop, immediately add the remaining popcorn in a single layer, taking care to keep your hands, face and hair safely clear of the hot oil.
Cover the pan, and remove it from the heat for about 30 seconds. Then, return the covered pan to the heat and, as soon as you hear the kernels beginning to pop, gently shake the pan back and forth on the burner. When the popping finally slows to 4 or 5 seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat, carefully remove the lid to avoid the steam that will rise from the pot, and immediately empty the popcorn into a wide bowl. While the corn is popping, prepare the spicy ranch powder: Put the evaporated milk powder, Parmesan, onion powder, garlic powder, citric acid powder and red pepper flakes into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Close the lid and shake the jar briefly but vigorously to combine the ingredients. Alternatively, pull all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and stir them together thoroughly. As soon as the corn has finished popping and you’ve emptied it into a bowl, sprinkle the seasoning powder evenly over the hot popcorn and use a large spoon to toss it well, evenly coating all the kernels. Serve the popcorn immediately, dividing it among individual bowls or movie theater-style boxes or bags.
