By Chris Christopher TOMS RIVER – Jack Boylan has reached the finish line. Boylan has retired as the head boys cross country, head winter track and field and head spring track and field coach at Toms River
High School North. The former Lakewood performer coached the Mariners to numerous titles in 13 seasons. He has traded in his stopwatch and whistle for a career in the business field after teaching health
and physical education at North for 13 years and Lakewood for 12 years. Boylan coached North’s boys teams for 13 seasons. He mentored Lakewood’s boys and girls teams for 12 years. “I am going into my fam-
ily’s business to help my brother because my father is on his way to retiring with Pine Belt Enterprises,” Boylan, 49, said. “I will also continue to work out, spend time with my family and travel.” (Coach - See Page 4)
Ciba Development Becomes Election Issue
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The Ciba-Geigy property has been many things in Toms River. Decades ago, it started out as a welcome employer. Then, as people realized what the dye company’s pollution was doing, it became a scourge on the area. It’s now been dragged into the 2019 mayoral election. Very little is going on there now except testing and environmental remediation. But it’s the future that people are concerned about.
Councilman Daniel Rodrick has spoken out against future residential development on the site, citing emails he had with business administrator Don Guardian. In the exchange, Rodrick asked about the town’s redevelopment plan for the land, and whether developer Jack Morris was part of any negotiation. Guardian responded “We connected Jack with BASF.” BASF is the current owner. He discussed the current litigation regarding how much the property (Ciba - See Page 22)
What’s The New Direction For Ocean’s GOP?
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – With division in the ranks, and Democrats winning more elections than normal, the new leader of the county Republicans said his first order of business is to unite the party, and his second order of business is to grow the party, especially among women and young people. Frank Holman won the election to become chairman of the Ocean County Republicans in a vote held May 15. He narrowly beat Frank Sadeghi by a 25-vote margin, 254-229. “We have a common cause here,” Holman said in a phone interview the day after the election. “We have to unite.” Former party chair George Gilmore stepped down on April 24 after being convicted of three charges related to (Leader - See Page 4)

Coach:
Continued From Page 1 Boylan left a trophy case chock full of team championships at North and Lakewood. And there were numerous individual championships at both schools. At North, there were 14 Shore Conference divisional team championships. There were seven Ocean County team championships. There was one Shore Conference meet team championship. There were two NJSIAA Group III sectional team championships. The Mariners’ 4x400-meter relay team staged a gold rush, speeding to the NJSIAA Meet of Champions. Boylan’s girls and boys teams also sped to numerous successes at Lakewood. In girls action, there were seven divisional team titles. There were six Ocean County team titles. There were three Shore Conference team titles. There was one Group III sectional team title. There were all-American relay teams in 1998, 1999 and 2002. There was a third-place finish in the 4x100 relay at the Tri-State Championship of America at the Penn Relays at the University of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field in Philadelphia. His Piners’ boys set all-time Ocean County records in the 4x100 and 4x200 relays. “I enjoyed coaching both genders and all three sports,” Boylan said. “They were all different. I was very fortunate to have had the best loyal assistant coaches and talented kids who bought into our system. At North, our saying was, ‘All In.’ At
Lakewood, our saying was, ‘We Believe.’ “ Who did Boylan consider his top athletes? “Wow, that’s a tough question,” he said. “At North, my best was Abdolahe Diawara. He could do anything. He was a vocal captain who could back it up.” Indeed. Diawara led the winning 4x400 relay team in the Meet of Champions. It was the lone team from Ocean County to capture the event in meet history. Boylan’s best at Lakewood was sprinter Shakeema Martin, who competed in the 100, 200 and 400 for the Piners. “Shakeema was a big part of many of our championships,” Boylan said. “It was so hard to say who my best girls athlete was at Lakewood.” Boylan hopes he’s thought of as a caring coach. “I would like to be remembered as a fair, consistent, but tough coach who cared about his entire program and had a passion for his entire career.” Boylan competed for the Piners under then-coach Al Ridley. “He taught me how to be fair and tough and how to develop a great rapport with the kids,” Boylan said. “My parents are my number one role models in my life.” Boylan said social media has made an impact on his programs. “Kids are kids,” he said. “Social media is keeping more kids from coming out for the teams. Because of social media, they are not as committed. The biggest challenge was trying to get more kids to come out for the teams.”
Boylan pushed his athletes hard. “I had high expectations for our athletes,” he said. “I worked with them, giving them positive reinforcement when I saw any improvement. The most rewarding aspect of coaching was seeing our student-athletes come across the finish line with a personal best. I enjoyed the battles at every meet. “I enjoyed planning our practices and communicating with our athletes and assistant coaches. I enjoyed the hype on meet days. I enjoyed working with my assistant coaches each day.” He thanked his wife, Laura, for her support. Also earning thanks were his assistant coaches and athletes. “I want to thank her for allowing me to put in hours and hours of coaching to do it the right way,” he said. “She was so supportive. I also want to thank my assistant coaches and student-athletes for giving everything they had. Without them, we would have never been successful.” Boylan enjoyed much success at Lakewood where he earned All-Ocean County and All-Shore honors in numerous running events. He graduated from West Chester University where he earned a teaching degree in health and physical education. He graduated from Georgian Court University with a Master’s Degree in supervision and curriculum. “Ever since I was in the 10th grade I wanted to coach,” he said. “I wanted to give a positive experience back to my community because I received such a great experience.”
Leader:
Continued From Page 1 tax evasion with his firm, Gilmore & Monahan. This firm does a lot of work for local municipalities. His attorney, Kevin Marino, has said that he is seeking to overturn the conviction. It had been said that Sadeghi had been endorsed by Gilmore, even though as a convicted felon, Gilmore can’t vote. Holman confirmed that, and said he didn’t expect Gilmore to be as active in the campaign as he was. The Republican party needs new blood, he said. Women are greatly underrepresented in public office, and that needs to change. They also need to recruit young Republicans to reinvigorate the party and take the wheel after people retire. To that end, he wants to institute a mentoring program, where experienced party members can groom upand-coming candidates. “We kind of lost a generation there,” he said. “We’ve been criticized as a party of old men.” There is much at stake. Ocean County is still a Republican stronghold, but there are areas where they have been vulnerable. Congressman Andy Kim, a Democrat, unseated Republican Tom MacArthur for the 3rd District. This seat had been Republican for decades, barring a brief stint when it was held by John Adler. Holman sees that there’s a risk of losing more ground. “A blue wave moved through Burlington,” he said about Kim’s win. To be fair, MacArthur had won Ocean but Kim’s (Leader - See Page 5)

Leader:
Continued From Page 4 votes in Burlington overwhelmed him. “The demographic in our state is changing.” In Brick, the governing body only has one Republican, and he had recently switched from the Democrats. In Toms River, three Democrats won spots on the council recently (although one used to be a Republican and has since switched back). These two large towns feed into New Jersey’s 10th District, helmed by Senator James Holzapfel and Assemblymen Gregory McGuckin and David Wolfe. Wolfe is retiring this year, and will be replaced on the ballot by John Catalano. Gilmore’s charges also haven’t helped the party, but it’s unclear whether those charges will actually matter to the rank and file voters. Holman has big shoes to fill, to be sure. Gilmore was famously involved in many aspects of county and local government, had a line to Gov. Chris Christie, and even had Washington elites as guest speakers. Holman said his style will be different, as he’s more of a delegator than Gilmore. The message is that Ocean County is still a great and affordable place to live, he said. Freeholder Director Virginia Haines said Holman will be serving the last three years of Gilmore’s current term and will have to run for re-election. “Frank will probably lead a little differently,” Haines said, noting she supported him. He has history in this county. Family members have been mayor, sheriff, and freeholder going back decades. Besides his
The Toms River Times, May 25, 2019, Page 5 government work, he had been the treasurer for the organization for more than 30 years. He serves as president of Holman Frenia Allison, P.C., which does a lot of financial work for municipalities. The Election The election was held on May 15 at the RWJBarnabas Health Arena on the campus of Toms River High School North. About 75 percent of the people registered to vote came out for it, said Tom Bonfonti, executive director of the county Republicans. As opposed to normal elections, which are paid for by the county, a specialized election like this is paid for by the Republican club, he said. They rent the machines and the location, and pay election board staff. Bonfonti said he didn’t have the cost of the election handy. After Gilmore stepped down, vice chair Barbara Lanuto took over as interim chair. With the new chairman, she has returned to be vice chair, Haines said.

Improvements To Infrastructure Needed To Handle Climate Change From The Desk Of
Congressman Andy Kim WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) passed an amendment to H.R. 9, the Climate Action Now Act, that requires the Administration to take infrastructure resilience into account on plans to ad-
dress climate change as part of the United States’ commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement. “Climate change isn’t just measured by rising tides and rising temperatures, it’s measured by the investment
needed in infrastructure to keep our communities resilient in the face of this real threat,” said Congressman Kim. “We know that infrastructure improvements don’t only need to come in the form of potholes fixed and bridges rebuilt. They’re needed to lessen the impact of rising storm surges from the next big storm and make sure communities like ours can remain a place for people to raise a family, create jobs and achieve the American Dream.” The Climate Action Now
Act, containing Congressman Kim’s language, passed the House. The bill ensures that actions are taken to mitigate the rising threat of climate change on our communities and prevents actions that take our country back in this effort. “We haven’t just seen rising sea waters due to climate change, we’ve seen rising costs to keep our basic infrastructure resilient,” said South Toms River Mayor Gregory Handshy. “We need to invest in that infrastructure to protect our community and
communities like ours. This amendment by Congressman Kim is an important step in making sure our priorities and those investments are felt right here at home.” The impact of climate change has been felt directly in New Jersey through the increase in super storms and regularly rising sea waters. Superstorm Sandy, which made landfall in New Jersey in 2012, cost the state $36.8 billion, including $29.4 billion in repair and restoration. Toms River received the most damage for a single
locality, facing $2.25 billion in property damage. “Barnegat Bay is a critical part of our community that is threatened by the impact of climate change,” said Britta Wenzel, Executive Director of Save Barnegat Bay. “We need a comprehensive approach that tackles this threat and the infrastructure needed to keep the Bay resilient. Congressman Kim’s effort is an important step in not only addressing this major issue, but ensuring our Bay will be a resource for future generations.”
Holzapfel, McGuckin & Wolfe Call On Murphy To Use Extra Funds To Stop Cuts To Brick & Toms River Schools Capitol Comments Senator Jim Holzapfel 10th Legislative District, Serving Toms River
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 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 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 school tax levy by 2 percent. “As someone who spent de-

cades 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.”

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
MAIN STREET AUTO REPAIR
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 732-341-9700 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.

DOWNTOWN TOMS RIVER 305 MAIN STREET
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer announced a new campaign for 2019 that preaches love, tolerance, and kindness. The “Love Thy Neighbor: There is No Room for Hate in Ocean County” campaign will kick off the weekend of May 31 through June 2. As part of the campaign, Prosecutor Billhimer has requested that all religious ceremonies in houses of worship throughout Ocean County address issues related to tolerance and kindness with a recognition that understanding is more important than divisiveness. “My office and the other twenty county prosecutor’s offices in New Jersey share a responsibility to detect, investigate, indict and convict those who violate the laws of our State,” said Prosecutor Billhimer, “I take great pride in this mission. I also believe that it is my duty to exemplify leadership beyond the realm of police work and the courtroom. As our county struggles with divisions based on race, ethnicity, religion and political views, it is incumbent on myself and all community leaders to embrace diversity. It is important
to send a clear message across the respective communities that make up our great county that kindness and tolerance is preferred over vitriol and hate speech,” Prosecutor Billhimer said. “Love Thy Neighbor” was born out of the cooperation of numerous faith based and community leaders in partnership with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office. The mission is to counteract the rising hate and bias that society is struggling with by promoting understanding and reconciliation. Love Thy Neighbor USA, a national organization, can be found online at LoveThyNeighborUSA.com and Facebook. For more information on Ocean County’s program, or to learn how you or your organization can participate in this year’s program, contact Mike Colwell, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, at Mcolwell@co.ocean.nj.us, Bryan Huntenburg, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, at BHuntenburg@co.ocean.nj.us, Scott Gartner, at scott@lovethyneighborusa.com or Colin Lewis at colin@lovethyneighborusa. com.

─Photo courtesy TRRS TOMS RIVER – Earlier this year, High School North was awarded one of eleven $10,000-level grants as part of the Sustainable Jersey for Schools Small Grants Cycle, which is funded by the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA). With the grant money, an outdoor classroom was constructed, dubbed Setting the Stage for Outdoor Learning (SSOL). The area extends from the building to an enclosed courtyard via a student-constructed “boardwalk.” Now, the school is putting the outdoor classroom to good use. Students from Ms. Huey’s and Mr. Seiverd’s classes conducted a BioBlitz in the courtyard area. The purpose of the BioBlitz was to assess biodiversity in the space. The BioBlitz
will provide baseline data on diversity prior to native species being planted. To conduct the BioBlitz, students used quadrants to identify and estimate the number of species, which in turn determines the biodiversity on campus. Biodiversity is defined as the amount of variety of life on Earth. Healthy ecosystems increase ecosystem productivity and each species in an ecosystem has a specific niche—a role to play. Biodiversity supports a larger number of plant species and, therefore, a greater variety of crops. This event was conducted with the help of project partners Barnegat Bay Partnership and the Ocean County Parks.

Scholars Literacy Lab Unveiled At Citta School
TOMS RIVER – This past fall Joseph A. Citta Elementary School became one of 144 applicants (and one of five winners from Toms River Regional Schools) to receive a grant worth $10,000 from OceanFirst Foundation to fund a model classroom. With this funding and the support of community partners, the school transformed a traditional fifth-grade classroom into the Citta Scholars Literacy Lab, which it unveiled today during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. “The Citta Scholars Literacy Lab has become the heart of our school,” wrote Citta School Supervisor Shannon Brown in her invitation to the ceremony. “With a large variety of hands-on and highly engaging literacy resources and the support of our reading interventionists, the energy, momentum, and drive for success is almost palpable.” Brown’s invitation proved convincing as the event was attended by Assistant Superintendents Deb McKenna, Marc Natanagara, and James Ricotta; Director of K-5 Curriculum Cara DiMeo; Coordinator of the Office of Grants and Communication Mike Kenny; Citta Principal Mallory Kennedy; and OceanFirst Foundation’s Katherine Durante and Stephanie Toal. The tour began with a walk-thru while class was in session, with the room’s three reading interventionists-- Jenny Azzarello, Emily Marino, and Kate Melson-- working directly with students. The transition from an open, traditional, desk-filled classroom to one with pocketed spaces now allows for multiple groups of students to refine their literary skills without distraction. The spirit of the new space is positively zen. Lush blue tones cover the newly painted walls, and soft relaxing music plays from the room’s speakers. The space is also impeccably organized, which meets the project’s goal of teachers and students having free and easy access to manipulatives, while at the same time fostering a culture of responsibility. “The students like to shine,” said Melson while

─Photo courtesy TRRS describing how much the students enjoy showing Citta’s teachers where to find everything they need within the newly remodeled space. Paint and dividers were donated by community partners, and school staff and their families worked hard over the summer to convert the space. Games, manipulatives, and texts were tested and then purchased through the grant. These resources are bagged with accompanying handouts, and available for any Citta teacher to use within any classroom. “One of the challenges we’ve faced is identifying materials for use,” said Brown, “and with this we’ve been able to build capacity for teachers.” The school’s needs were the driving force behind its application and intent to create the model space. Since 2011, the percentage of economically disadvantaged students attending Citta has grown from 20 to 38 percent of the total school population. As its demographics changed, school leaders like Kennedy and Brown found that many students weren’t being exposed to important pre-reading skills that foster success in school, and that some families weren’t able to purchase books for at-home reading and didn’t have the means to travel to the local library. “Our goal is to convey that all readers are scholars,” said Brown. “With this dedicated space, we are able to provide intensive support to students struggling with reading and writing.”

Mayoral Debate To Be Broadcast Live
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – In an unprecedented split, there’s a three-way fight among Republicans wanting to be mayor this political season. A local studio will be broadcasting a debate live. Ready 2 Roll Studios, Seaside Heights, will host the candidates. The debate will be shown on Comcast Channel 190 on May 30, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. It will also be available at Livestream.com/ hmgtv; and Facebook.com/hudsonmediagroup/; and Hudson Media Group on YouTube.com. There are three candidates for mayor that are competing in the June primary. All three were invited to the debate. They each have a slate of council candidates as well. In alphabetical order, they are: • Former Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato. His council candidates are Christian
Momm, John Meehan, and Ginny Rhine. • Councilman Maurice “Mo” Hill. His council candidates are Matt Lotano, Josh Kopp, and Kevin Geoghegan. • Councilman Dan Rodrick. His council candidates are Ken Londregin, George Lobman, and Justin Lamb. Additionally, Heather Barone is running in the primary as a council candidate. Although each mayoral candidate has a council slate, the council candidates will not be taking part in the debate. The winner of the primary will have to face off against Democrat Jonathan Petro in November. His council candidates are Michele Williams, Karin K. Sage, and Drew Boyle. The debate will be moderated by Chris Lundy, news editor for the Toms River Times and its web site, JerseyShoreOnline.com.

AFRAID OF SPIDERS?
The fine, web-like, starburst-shaped network of veins commonly known as “spider veins” usually appears on the thighs, calves, or ankles. “Telangiectasias,” as they are medically known, are caused by abnormal blood flow and weakening of the blood vessel walls in the affected veins. Often caused by monthly hormonal fluctuations of the female cycle and pregnancy, spider veins are far more common among women than men. However, any condition that places increased pressure on the veins can result in spider-vein development. The most common treatment for removing these unsightly veins is “sclerotherapy,” which involves injections of saline solution into the veins with a very fine needle. This causes irritation in the lining of the vein, resulting in its collapse and disappearance. Today’s amazing technology puts beautiful, healthy skin within reach of nearly everyone. If you are one of the thousands who are unhappy with their skin, we’d like to show you how that could change. We offer our patients the highest quality medical skin care coupled with the personal attention they expect and deserve. Our approach is conservative, gentle, and caring. No need to wait months for an appointment – care for your skin and call today for a skin cancer screening! P.S. Lasers are sometimes used to eradicate spider veins.

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.

Hooper out of the shopping center where Michael’s is, you would have to drive south first. There isn’t a way to head north again without taking two U-turns or sneaking through back roads and residential areas. Similarly, if you are in the shopping center where Target and Lowe’s is, there is no easy way to head south. You would have to go north and make a U-turn on Indian Hill Road in order to go south. The project should be done by the end of June, county engineer John Ernst said. Much of the work will be done at night to minimize the impact on drivers, he said. The jughandle linking Hooper to Indian Hill had been widened recently into a designated left and right turn lane to compensate for drivers making this turn, he said. The project was discussed at least as early as August of 2017, with the plan of being done in 2018. There were a few delays, Ernst said. The steel poles and extender arms took longer than anticipated to get. Additionally, property owners did not sign off right away, which pushed the timeline back to a time that the electrical contractor was tied up in another job. The shopping center on the east side of Hooper Avenue is called the Ocean Center and the west side shopping center is the Commons at Hooper.
is assessed at, then continued: “After there is a court settlement I think you’ll see interest in developing 800 or so acres. We have also encouraged a solar company to engage BASF on some of the property…” Rodrick has put out campaign information suggesting that as many as 6,400 homes could be built on that land. This is not a plan in the works. Rather, this number comes from his own calculations based on how many units could be built there, given the rate of growth in the northern section of town neighboring Lakewood. Rodrick, a Republican, is running for mayor. He is competing against Councilman Maurice Hill and former Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato in the primary in June. The winner will face off against Democrat Jonathan Petro in November. Current Mayor Thomas Kelaher is not running for re-election, but sent a comment to media to counter Rodrick’s claims, calling them fear-mongering lies. “The truth is that there are not - and have never been - plans for the Township of Toms River, or any public or private entity, to develop the Ciba site for any purpose,” Kelaher’s statement read. “The property is zoned solely for industrial use, and federal and state environmental laws would preclude any such development. The property
is still undergoing a gover nment-mandated clean-up, and the Township is currently in a protracted litigation with Ciba’s successor company, the German industrial giant BASF, involving over a dozen years of tax appeals. Because of that ongoing litigation, the Township is precluded from even communicating with BASF. “Simply put, the de─Screenshots courtesy Dan Rodrick velopment Councilman This screenshot was taken of an email conversation between Rodrick speaks of in township officials. his sham campaign cannot - and will not – happen,” he wrote. “Desperate politicians this,” he said. “Kelaher has a horrendous often do and say desperate things, but to record and the development of north Dover exploit this painful episode in Toms Riv- is his legacy. How can we trust him when er’s history for political purposes is sick this is in writing?” As detailed in Dan Fagin’s Pulitzer-winand self-serving. Councilman Rodrick’s shameless deception shows nothing more ning book Toms River, Ciba was one of two than he has neither the character, com- locations suspected of being the cause of a petence, nor conscience to serve in any cancer cluster in town. The other was the elected capacity, let alone as mayor of Reich farm off Route 9. Neither of these locations, Fagin wrote, could accurately be Toms River.” Rodrick countered Kelaher’s statement, proven to be the cause of the cancer cluster saying that Kelaher’s denial in the face of in Toms River. Further, the scientific defithe emails are reminiscent of the covering nition for a cluster was not met, although it’s possible that the science was not able up Ciba did in the past. “It’s in writing that they want to develop to prove it yet.

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.

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
are communicating to your 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 that you

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.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen 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.
