By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – Memorial Day is the start of the summer season, but some still got to the beach before the traffic starts coming down the Parkway. Daniel Ortiz, Nicole Mejia, and Daniel “D.J.” Ortiz Jr., 3, were playing in the sand on a Seaside Heights beach just before the holiday weekend. As the afternoon wore on, a chilly wind started. “Little man wanted a beach day,” Daniel Ortiz said. “We brought a jacket just in case it was cold, but as of right now we’re soaking in what we can.” This is the first season for shore towns since the multi-million dollar beach replenishment project by the Army Corps of Engineers, and town officials are looking forward to a successful year. In Seaside Heights, the most noticeable change are the dunes separating the boardwalk from the beach. Sprigs of dune grass sprout up neatly in rows, and they will grow into larger plants over the coming months. The experience for visitors won’t change much, said Christopher Vaz, the borough

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The Berkeley Township governing body honored the D.A.R.E. role models for the year.

By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – A candidate is mounting a write-in campaign to unseat a long-serving mayor. Ron Roma has been mayor for eight years, and was a councilman for eight years before that. Although newcomer Glen Kelly isn’t officially challenging Roma on the primary, he has been urging followers to write him in as a candidate in the Republican primary election. Both candidates were asked to provide statements for this article. Roma discussed how he and his family have been involved in so many of the community’s events for the last few decades, including such things as church events, scouts, and Little League. One of his earliest accomplishments is helping re-establish the Beachwood Municipal Alliance through a grant. This (Challenge - See Page 6)

Beaches:
Continued From Page 1 administrator. The boardwalk, shops, hotels, and beach are ready to go. It’s really more a change for the town itself. “In past years, you could see the beach from the boardwalk,” he said. Now, the dunes are higher. So security will have to be physically on the beach to make up for that. Surveillance cameras will also be installed on the beach patrol buildings that will provide a view of some of the beaches and boardwalk, but they won’t be coming until the end of June. “For us, it’s an entirely new operation,” Vaz said. Staff will have to clean litter that blows onto the dunes without stepping on dune grass. They have to roll up the handicap access mats at the end of the day. It amounts to a little more maintenance to keep the new things nice. “It’s been a long winter for us,” he said. “I know business owners are excited.” Toms River township engineer Robert Chankalian said everything is ready for this season on the town’s small strip of beach. Year-round residents watched the replenishment project over the long months, and soon tourists and summer residents will see it, too. The access to the beach has changed as well, as they too have installed Mobi-mats that help people access the beach on foot or in wheelchairs, he said. Every township road on the island has been paved, he said. “New roads, new beach, new everything,” he said.
The Berkeley Times, June 1, 2019, Page 5 “There’s a noticeable difference,” said Debbi Winogracki, recreation director for Berkeley. The Army Corps provided a lot of extra protection, and visitors should be able to see it when they arrive. There’s an elite group of lifeguards ready to start the season in their new booth, she said. Beach badge prices are the same as last year. “We’re excited for a new season,” Mayor Carmen Amato said. The public ocean beaches in Berkeley are along 20th to 23rd avenues on the South Seaside Park section of town, north of Island Beach State Park. All beaches on Long Beach Island are public, an official said. In Long Beach Township, there haven’t been any active beach replenishment projects this year, a township official said. Additionally, the entrances to the beach, and the boardwalks are the same. Events for the area can be found at longbeachtownship.com/departments/recreation/. Smoking Ban This is the first year that beachgoers won’t be allowed to smoke on beaches and parks. The law went into effect in January. “Cigarette butts are one of the major sources of litter, and our beaches and parks will now look less unsightly. Some communities like Atlantic City will set aside a small smoking area, but otherwise our beaches will be completely smoke free,” said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “Visitors will be able to sit outside without breathing in second-hand smoke.
They can walk on the sand without stepping on cigarette butts. We will also be safer. A recklessly discarded cigarette can start fires, igniting picnic tables or boardwalks. The Sierra Club proposed this smoking ban 10 years ago. Gov. Christie vetoed the bill multiple times but we kept fighting until Gov. Murphy signed it into law. Now we won’t have to deal with second-hand smoke while trying to enjoy a day outside.” He explained in a press release that cigarettes can also be ingested by animals or even children. Additionally, they break down, leading to the spread of nicotine, pesticides and even plastic in the environment. According to the World Health Organization, 90 percent of cigarettes have plastic in their filters, and two-thirds of them are dumped irresponsibly, where they wind up in the oceans via wind and storm drains. Beach Closures The State Department of Environmental Protection has a web site that will inform bathers of potential closures due to high bacteria counts. The DEP’s Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program has created njbeaches.org, an interactive website where people can see the status of their favorite beaches. There’s a map of the state, with little circles where the water is being monitored on the east coast from Monmouth to Cape May counties. The circles are color-coded to denote if the beach is open, closed, or if there’s an advisory. If you zoom in on the map, you can click on the beach and find out what the bacteria count was.

Although the DEP said that there are 180 ocean and 35 bay monitoring stations along the coast, there are also some more inland. There are several along the Toms River, such as in Ocean Gate, Pine Beach, and Beachwood. There’s one on the Brick side of the Metedeconk River. There are two on the Point Pleasant side of the Manasquan River. There’s one at the L Street beach in Belmar, on the Shark River. The rest are on the ocean or bay from Keansburg to Cape May Point. The site monitors the presence of a certain bacteria found in human and animal waste. It’s not harmful by itself, but it denotes the presence of waste in the water. Tests are done on Monday, and problem areas are retested until they are clean. They are done on Monday, officials said, because of the influx of visitors on weekends. The visitors increase the strain on the sewer systems, which is one of the ways that the bacteria wind up in the water. Generally speaking, bay beaches close more frequently than ocean beaches, he said. Ocean beaches have more tidal flow, which washes out anything harmful. The DEP also promoted these tips for safe swimming: • Swim near a lifeguard. • Never swim alone. • If you are caught in a rip current, remember to swim parallel to the shore. • Avoid sandbars, drop-off areas, or fast currents. • Be aware of your surroundings. • Protect yourself from the sun. There were no closings listed when this article was written.

Continued From Page 1 happened in 2001 before he was even in office. The municipal alliance, in turn, has created many of the events that the borough residents have come to enjoy, such as Summer Family Fun Nights at the Birch and Surf Park; the Beach Luau and Fair (which has become Community Day at the Birch & Surf Park); youth dances; and the Senior Health Ease Move and Grove. It has also provided funding to such things as the Summer Peer Leadership Program, Bear Cubs/Guiding Good Choices in Beachwood Elementary School, and a Life Skills Program for the middle school. “Beachwood has always supported the intermediate school with a School Resource Officer. When I was asked to consider a police officer in the Beachwood Elementary School I didn’t hesitate and I made sure it got done,” he said. The Beachwood Mayors Wellness Program was started in 2014, created to educate people on lifestyle choices to promote lifelong health. “I truly care about Beachwood and I have always been available to meet or speak with anyone,” he said. “I can be reached anytime day or night. My cell phone number and email are listed in the borough calendar as well as online. I always answer or return phone calls, text messages and emails and I never make false promises.” Roma is a certified public manager, who worked for the Department of Juvenile Services for 17 years and has been the Director of Security for Ocean County for the past 13 years. “Children and family have been one of my biggest priorities,” he said. “So, while planning and building the new Mayo Park Building I specifically added an exterior movie wall so the Recreation Commission could present Movies in the Park. Family Movie Night was something that the Municipal Alliance and Recreation started over 15 years ago when we did movies on the beach and in the school.” Roma said that, with the support of the Borough Council, he’s been able to oversee needed infrastructure improvements while “maintaining the lowest tax increases in Ocean County over the last 20 years. “When I was first elected to office I implemented a 10-year road plan. This plan is continuously being updated as needs arise. Over the years many road, water and drainage projects have been completed. These projects take time and money.
Of course there are still many areas that need attention. There is no magic wand that will fix everything overnight. I know I can’t please everyone all the time but I never make empty promises. These are real results,” he said. The road projects have redone nearly 40,000 linear feet or about 7.5 miles of roadway in the last seven years, with 7,330 linear feet or 1.39 miles scheduled for 2019, he said. “If I am re-elected mayor I promise to continue with the work I have done and I will continue to do my best to keep the programs, activities and events that make Beachwood a great place to live and raise a family going on year after year,” he said. Kelly, a real estate agent, is going to be running as an independent, and refers to himself as a “Republicrat.” He has been asking residents to write him in for the primary election. “I’m running for mayor because it’s time for a change in Beachwood,” he said. “I have lived in Beachwood for some time now, for all of Roma’s two terms, and see that we still have the same problems as before he was mayor. We still have roads in need of repair. We still have serious drainage issues on the roadways. We still have dirty drinking water. We still have a dangerously polluted beach,” he said. “I also see a serious divide in town. It’s us, the hard-working people, and them, and what they represent is everything that is wrong with our political system. They not only stand for nepotism, they actively practice it. The volunteer commissions and boards in the borough are not representative of the great people of our community, but rather a group of friends appointing other friends. I stand for inclusion. When I’m mayor everyone who wants to volunteer will be included,” he said. “I believe in planning for a better Beachwood, not hoping things will magically get better. There needs to be comprehensive plans addressing the roads, the drainage issues, the filthy potable water and the polluted beach,” he said. “There have been no real plans put forth to address the issues yet he wants four more years as our mayor, our Chief Executive Officer. I want four years to implement proper planning, to address the severe issues, and to improve our, all the residents, daily quality of life. I’m not saying mayor Roma planned to fail, what I am saying is that he failed to plan.” There are also two council positions on the ballot. Current Councilmen Gerald LaCrosse and Edward Zakar are running in the primary and in November.

THINKING PINK
Inflammation of the eyelid lining and white of the eye, known as “conjunctivitis,” produces redness and itching in the membrane that covers the white part of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelid (the conjunctiva). Also known as “pink eye,” this highly contagious inflammation is usually caused by bacteria or a virus. If there is a clear, watery discharge from one or both eyes, the culprit is usually a virus from the adenovirus family, which can also cause cold-like symptoms. Pink eye caused by a virus usually clears up spontaneously in about two weeks. Pink eye caused by bacteria will show signs of a thick, crusty discharge, which should be treated with antibiotic drops or ointments prescribed by the ophthalmologist. RP is diagnosed in part through an examination of the retina. An ophthalmologist will use an ophthalmoscope, a tool that allows for a wider, clear view of the retina. This typically reveals abnormal, dark pigment deposits that streak the retina. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call 732-349-5622.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F eatured L etter “Hard Cap” On Taxes Is Nothing More Than A Name On July 3, 2010 Governor Christie reached a bipartisan consensus with Legislative leaders to provide long-awaited property tax relief for beleaguered New Jerseyans they called it a hard cap of 2 percent. Any waivers from this cap would have to be granted by a vote of the people, not the bureaucrats of a local board. An override referendum would have to be approved by a simple majority of the voters. What seemed to be the answer to New Jersey’s runaway real estate tax problem was short lived. This year Little Egg Harbor Township has increased its proposed 2019-20 budget of 6.9-cent per $100 of assessed value to $.742 exceeding the cap by 8 percent. One would think that such a hike in the tax rate a cap override referendum would apply, think again. What most taxpayers do not know is that the 2 percent hard cap is not so hard because the law allows for exemptions from the cap that could be used for debt service payments, pension payments, and increase in health insurance costs. And if all those exemp-
tions were not enough to keep any increase off the ballot lawmakers introduced another little known loophole called “banked cap.” This little but popular wrinkle in the law makes a mockery of the “hard cap.” If a municipal or school budget is increased by less than 2 percent in a previous year, officials can exceed the 2 percent by that amount in a subsequent year. Even the name “banked cap” may have been created to confuse property owners. The only thing that has been “banked” here is the ability to raise taxes above the 2 percent cap without asking voters to say “yes.” Hard cap, Soft cap or No cap, we have gone the full circle. Beware of politicians when they make campaign promises that state “With my strong work ethic my agenda would be to stabilize or lower taxes” or “My goal has been, and continues to be, consciousness of our tax rates in order to keep them stable and/or reduce them” Art Mooney Little Egg Harbor

Murphy Gutted Bill That Would Shed Light On Dark Money We know here in New Jersey that outsiders often think of us as having an attitude, and to an extent, there’s some truth to that. We have strong opinions and will defend them passionately if we disagree. Some of the stereotypes about our home are overblown, but we can agree all over Joisey when getting cawfee for yous guys, that ones about corruption hit a little too close to the mark for anyone’s liking. Why are we running our government like something out of the Sopranos? When it comes to our political process, there is too much untraceable money, and it is definitely getting in the way of having a government that works for the voters. Recently, a coalition of groups in the state, including Wolf-PAC and Represent.US, began working toward legislation that would shed some light on this dark money. The result was the unassumingly named S-1500, a detailed bill specifying campaign finance reform and transparency. This bill received strong popular support, leading to a passage in both chambers of the state legislature by a bipartisan majority, and there was not a single opposing vote in the Senate. Surely, this would be a new day for New Jersey politics, or at least the start of a new path. Enter Governor Phil Murphy. Despite high hopes, after over a month of no action or comment, the Governor has, with little fanfare but much commentary in his twenty page document, performed some “extreme dentistry” on S-1500, effectively removing its teeth by way of conditional veto. One has to wonder what the motivations are behind dismantling common-sense legislation with such strong
Letters To The Editor popular and bipartisan sup- our Senators and Assem- the increase in gasoline port. Governor Murphy makes a claim that the bill, as written, might get challenged in court and that there are some sources of dark money it does not address, but his solution is to weaken the bill, which is counterproductive. This is akin to shopping for a cake that serves 12, but only finding cakes that serve 10, and since you don’t know if everybody will like the cake, you buy a pie that serves 8 instead, even though nobody asked for pie in the first place. We do know that there has been an ongoing spat between Governor Murphy and Senate President Sweeney. Senator Sweeney has supported this bill, including a portion that would force disclosure of donors by groups such as New Direction New Jersey, a 501(c)4 that favors and is run by Governor Murphy’s for mer campaign member, who is also a county freeholder. New Direction New Jersey had previously pledged to reveal who its donors were, but never came through. Perhaps of more interest, and more irksome to Governor Murphy, is the portion of the bill that bans elected officials from involvement with independent expenditure committees. Freeholder Brendan Gill would be forced to choose between his elected office and remaining with New Direction New Jersey, but would not be able to continue in both capacities. It would seem to be common sense that an elected official should not be involved in such groups, but this part of the bill would be removed by Governor Murphy’s conditional veto. At best, this is political in-fighting. At worst, this is a personal favor for self-interest, meaning political corruption. Either way, we must demand better of our government. We need to speak up, and we can make our voices heard through
blypeople, by telling them to override Governor Murphy’s veto. This should not be about political parties, or taking sides within the ruling party. This is about preserving and protecting the integrity of our government and the electoral process. Action has to happen! Call your representatives and demand an override of Governor Murphy’s conditional veto of S-1500.

What Happened To The Gas Tax Money? I recently read testimony f rom C ong r e s sm a n A ndy K i m ( D -3rd), t o the House Transportation Committee, regarding the infrastructure in Ocean County. According to Cong ressma n K i m , due to many years of neglect from Washington and increased use, the i nf rast r uct u re system t h roug hout t he State of New Jersey faces massive challenges. The Congressman adds that in his district alone there are 44 structurally deficient bridges with another 155 in need of repair. In the article, Congressman Kim touches on several specif ic areas that appear to need immediate attention due to people’s lives being put in jeopardy. What the Congressman does not mention is
tax that our previous and present governors imposed on all drivers within our state to go directly to infrastructure repair. After these increases, any driver purchasing gasoline in the great State of New Jersey, has had to fork over almost a n add it ional 30 cent s per gallon, towa rd t he gasoline tax. Since these tax increases went into effect, I have not heard a single word about any of that money being spent on any bridge or road repairs. (Lord knows the northern end of the Garden State Parkway could definitely use some pot hole repair) Given the number of vehicles on our congested roads, every single day of the week, I can only imagine the amount of monies taken in by our State, yet our roads and bridges continue to fall into disrepair. It’s great when you can p oi nt you r f i nge r a nd blame someone else for your issues, but how can you expect that someone to come in a clean your house if you don’t f irst try to clean it yourself. If Congressman Kim is right in his description of the condition of the nearly 200 bridges in his district, why are we spending so much time, energy and money on such issues as the legalization of marijuana? One would think that the safety and well-being of the citizens of New Jersey would be a little more important than the cannabis issue. Hector Mejias Little Egg Harbor Editor’s note: The gasoline tax is currently 41.4 cents per gallon.
Correction There is a factual error in the May 25 story “Donated House Gives Family A Fresh Start.” Habitat for Humanity doesn’t donate houses; they create a partnership with the future homeowner to make living in the house affordable. The land, in this case, was donated. Additionally, it was a 1,500 square foot house, not 15,000. We regret the error.

Berkeley Receives $136,028 Grant, Looking For Civic Groups To Adopt A Spot From The Desk Of
The Mayor - By Berkeley Mayor
Carmen F. Amato, Jr. BER K ELEY – Mayor Carmen F. Amato, Jr., is pleased to announce the township has received a Clean Communities Grant f rom the State totaling $136,028. “I would like to once again
thank the state for their commitment in funding this vital grant program,” Mayor Amato said. “The $136,028 Department of Environmental Protection Clean Communities Grant award is good news
for Berkeley taxpayers and local non-profit, civic and community groups. The township will use a portion of this grant to offset salaries of employees that clean and maintain our parks and beaches along with the funding of mini-grants to local non-profit civic and com munit y g roups that take advantage of our “Adopt a Spot” or “Adopt a Road” program,” Mayor Amato said. The township instituted some changes in the
local program last year. “Adopt a Spot” or “Adopt a Road” locations must be pre-approved through an application process and organizations will be limited to a maximum of two at separate locations. “This is an effort to accommodate as many local groups and locations as possible and to ensure funds are available for the group.” Mayor Amato said. If the township has left over funding, groups can reapply. “Any non-profit
civic or community group in the township that signs up to participate in our “Adopt a Spot” or “Adopt a Road” project can receive $500 for their organization,” he said. “These clean-ups provide a valuable service in keeping our township clean. The funding also provides for equipment related to the clean-ups, education and enforcement of litter laws. We plan on using some of these groups to help tidy up our streets and areas along
the maritime areas where remnants of Superstorm Sandy remain,” A mato said. Any nonprofit organizations in Berkeley that want to participate in the program, should call Public Works at 732-341-1022. “It’s a win-win situation for our Township. Nonprofit community groups take advantage of the funding and the township benefits that we are able to get areas of our town cleaned up,” Mayor Amato said.
9th District: Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Bridge Project Is The Remarkable Engineering Achievement That Ocean County Deserves CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
MANAHAWKIN - Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove joined in a celebration of the successful completion of the reconstruction of the Old Causeway Bridge and the rehabilitation of Hilliards Thorofare Bridge – part of the Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Bridges project, by marking the historic occasion with a ribbon cutting ceremony led by NJDOT Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti. Con nors, Ru mpf and Gove (R-9 th) made the following remarks regarding
the significant announcement: “This project is a long t i me com i ng for ma ny Ocean County residents and tourists, especially those living on Long Beach Island for whom the Causeway is the only means of egress and ingress to and from the mainland. “More than a decade ago, our Delegation introduced legislation, at the request of a former NJDOT Commissioner, to appropriate $150 million to get the Route 72 Causeway Bridges Project moving. The catastrophic damage caused by Superstorm Sandy underscored,
in graphic detail, how the Causeway is a critical infrastructure lifeline, especially in the event that a coastal evacuation order is issued. “On a lighter note, the Cau seway Br idge also represents the gateway to one of New Jersey’s most cherished and popular vacation destinations along the Jersey Shore: Long Beach Island. The Project represents a wise investment and sound use of transportation funding – that Ocean County is more than deserving of – as the Causeway Bridge is instrumental in our efforts to grow New Jersey’s economy and tourism industry. “We’d be remiss if we did not acknowledge and commend all of the engineers and workers associated with this project. These people demonstrated in-

Olivia Alto has a long list of achievements to be proud of. Her outstanding grades earned her high honor roll recognition and induction into English, Math, Science, and History Honor Societies. She was also chosen for National Honor Society as a result of impressive academics and contributions to the school community. Olivia volunteered a total of 365 hours for the Food and Nutrition Department and Maternity section of the Ocean Medical Center. She served in the Student Congress, Key Club, and Student Ambassadors. She was a member of the swim team and the captain this year. She received Rookie of the Year, Flip the Switch, Unsung Hero, and Athletic Scholar awards for swim. She played Field Hockey and was honored with the Coaches Award, and she was the MVP when she played Lacrosse as a ninth grader. Olivia took advantage of the OCC Dual Enrollment program this year. She earned college credit for the subjects of General Psychology, US History, Child Psychology, and Business. She has been employed at Fast Break and Stone Fire Grille. Next year Olivia plans to attend Palm Beach Atlantic University. Alize Busic quietly demonstrates exemplary leadership qualities. She achieved Honor Roll recognitions and Academic Letters while being enrolled in Honor and AP level courses. She was accepted into the Math, English, and History Honor Societies for her high marks. She also earned membership into the National Honor Society, where she was an officer and served as Treasurer. Alize has been equally dedicated and driven away from the classroom. She was the captain of Girls Cross Country. She swam at the varsity level since freshmen year, and she was a captain for the past two years. She was a member of the track team. She served as a Student Ambassador. Alize has been employed in several jobs. She checked badges and worked as a lifeguard for Ocean Gate beaches and Cedar Creek during the summers. She guarded the YMCA pool this past winter. She was a busser at MJs and hostess at Shady Rest. Alize will be attending University of Alabama next year. She would like to pursue a degree in business and go on to earn a law degree.
Matt Morris has worked hard throughout his high school career. As a result, he continued to move up in levels from regular college prep as a freshman, to all Honors and Advance Placement courses as a senior. His efforts resulted in High Honor Roll recognition every marking period, and he was awarded Academic Letters. He was inducted into the Math and Science Honor Societies this year, and he was nominated for NJ Stars for his strong academics. Matt is well-rounded. He earned a varsity letter in track for both winter and spring teams, and he received the Scholar Athlete certificate every season of participation. He led the Consumer Bowl Team to the Ocean County Championship last year, and participated in the regional competition. He was a NJ Science League participant. He initiated the Rocket Club. He was involved in startup events such as the Frisbee Tournament and Spike-ball Tournament. Matt worked in Men’s Warehouse since last June. He does a little bit of everything thereregister, sales, cleaning, etc. Next year Matt will attend the University of Scranton. He will be a welcome addition to their campus. Julianna Rivera took charge at CRHS ever since she walked through the doors as a freshman. Julianna’s skills on her resume include, but are not limited to, public speaking, problem solving, adaptability, and a quick learner. She served as Vice President of the Student Congress in grade 11, and was the President this year. She has been the Secretary of Student Council since 2016. She was a Student Ambassador assisting younger peers. In the summer of 2017, she participated in the National Youth Leadership Forum, Law & CSI in Washington, D.C. Julianna has consistently achieved excellent grades and honor roll recognition. This year she earned college credits through OCC Jumpstart Program for Political Science, General Psychology, Child Psychology, and Criminology. Last summer she attended a pre-college program through New York University where she studied sociology and was involved in a writing workshop.

–Photo courtesy Paul Pogorzelski This overhead shot shows the completed bridge in its entirety. By Kimberly Bosco STAFFORD – While it might have seemed to take ages to the residents nearby, the Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Bridges project has actually made rapid progress, according to officials from the NJ Department of Transportation (NJDOT). On May 22, NJDOT and Stafford Township officials came together for an official ribbon cutting, signaling the reopening of the Route 72 Manahawkin Bridge one year ahead of schedule. Held at the west end of East Bay Avenue on a small pavilion, officials lauded the efforts of those who came together to complete the rehabilitation of this iconic structure. The weather complied, providing a beautiful perspective of the completed bridge as the background to the day’s events. “The challenge to build bridges while people are still using them can raise an awful lot of extraordinary challenges. They met each and every one of them,” said Senator Christopher Connors (R-9), one of the speakers at the ribbon cutting. As many locals have seen, the work on the bridge had caused lane closures and traffic buildups over the past few years since its inception. The Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Bridges Projects were advanced through multiple contracts, said Steve Shapiro of NJDOT, all performed in varying time frames. The work began in May 2013 with the con-
struction of a new Bay Bridge adjacent to the old one. This new bridge was completed by July 2016. “Once that bridge was open, we could shift all the traffic there and begin the rehabilitation of the Old Causeway Bridge,” which began in 2016, Shapiro said. The rehabilitation of the old bridge was completed a year ahead of schedule, he added. As of May 2019, all lanes are open and ready for commuters and summer visitors. “It does seem like a long time, it does take a long time to do the different pieces and we typically do them in a variety of contracts,” said Shapiro. In addition to the road construction contracts, NJDOT was also simultaneously working on a contract establishing the nature trail at Cedar Bonnet Island in Stafford Township. With the Jersey shore, including Long Beach Island, existing as a major summer destination for many, NJDOT had to account for the need for access while performing construction. “One of the challenges of a project like this is basically maintaining traffic during the summer…we had to make sure that all the lanes that we have are open and available during the summer season,” which inevitably made work move a bit slower, said Shapiro. It is also important to note that this bridge

A sound void is most commonly defined as a moment lacking clarity in hearing or understanding; an empty space in one’s life caused by the absence of sound clarity. Sound voids usually occur in specific listening situations where an individual’s hearing loss does not permit them to detect or understand important sounds and speech cues. Individuals often find that sound voids result in tiring, frustrating and embarrassing situations. However you experience them – whether they happen during precious moments with your loved ones, critical conversations in the work place or in common everyday interactions – sound voids can detract from your ability to live your life to its fullest.
Do you often hear people talking but simply have difficulty understanding them? Do you sometimes struggle to hear clearly in background noise? Do you occasionally have trouble following the conversation in small groups? Do you find it challenging to explain your hearing situation to others? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be experiencing the perception of “sound void”. The term sound void was created to help explain the gaps that some say that they experience in their day-to-day listening lives. If this sounds like you or someone you love, you should consider contacting your hearing health care professional today.

5 Mind-blowing Reasons You Should Take Selenium
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. The Greek word “selene” means moon, and that’s where the trace mineral selenium gets its name. The most interesting part of selenium is that it’s sometimes used in dyes and paints to color things red. Plants growing on Earth take up selenium into their roots. They get it from the soil and then it’s put into the food chain, and we obtain it through diet. Selenomethionine is a high-quality form of selenium that is also the main form of selenium occurring in Brazil nuts, cereal grains and soybeans. Why would anyone want more selenium? The main reason would be selenium’s powerful antioxidant properties. It helps neutralize free radicals by making two special detoxification enzymes: Catalase and Glutathione. Both of those enzymes are major players in terms of detoxification. You’d die within minutes without them. But there are 5 other mind-blowing reasons you should consider selenium: Selenium helps with breast cancer. Aside from selenium being a strong antioxidant which is useful in cancer situation, there is new research published in the journal, Nutrients (May 2019). Apparently, selenium is capable of alleviating lymphedema, commonly associated with breast cancer. Lymphedema simply refers to the swelling that occurs in the arms and legs. Seventy-five percent of participants showed lymphedema improvement in just two weeks. Selenium helps with the brain. The ability to neutralize oxidants which attack the brain helps reduce your personal risk of cognitive decline. Several selenium-derived proteins termed “selenoproteins” are expressed in
brain. We also know that both detoxification enzymes, glutathione and catalase, are present in glial cells. Glial cells feed and protect nerve cells. Selenium is needed to keep those glial cells healthy. Selenium helps control hemochromatosis. A genetic condition, overload of iron (hemochromatosis) is sometimes misdiagnosed and inadequately treated. Iron concentrations were slightly higher (up to 2 and a half times higher) in selenium deficient rodents. The “Transferrin Saturation” with iron was almost twice as high in selenium deficient rodents, compared to those with normal levels of selenium. Selenium helps make thyroid hormone. Selenium has been shown in several clinical trials over the past few decades to slow the progression of, and reduce symptoms of thyroid illness. It’s needed for the enzymes that convert inactive thyroxine T4 to biologically active T3 and it’s needed to reduce TPO antibodies. Also, selenium might help with Graves’ eye problems, termed orbitopathy. Selenium for PCOS. Selenium has insulin-like properties which means it can help with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS. A new article published in the journal, Molecules (April 2019) suggests it may help with insulin resistance. There’s a definite correlation between low selenium leading to hypothyroidism, then leading to PCOS. Labs don’t usually pick this disorder up. Please grab a copy of my best-seller, Thyroid Healthy to learn more about thyroid conditions. And if you’d like more information on selenium, PCOS or dosing information, just sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll send you the longer version of this article next week.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Consumer Rights And Data Breach: Protecting Yourself From Identify Theft
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
The recent data breach by Equifax meant that sensitive personal information for 145 million Americans was potentially exposed, including Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses and, in some instances, driver’s license numbers. This incident has left many consumers wondering how they can protect themselves from identify theft. Monitor your Account Check your financial account transactions regularly. Opt-in for alerts that screen for questionable transactions and opt-in for multifactor authentication. Look for charges that you don’t recognize, even if they were for small amounts. Sometimes scoundrels test the waters with small charges. Be aware of communications claiming to be from credit reporting agency or financial institution. Review Credit Reports By law, all consumers are entitled to a free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). You can request a free credit report from annualcreditreport.com, by phone or mail. Any site other than annualcreditreport.com is not part of the legally mandated free annual credit report program. Make sure you spell
the annualcreditreport. Michael J. Deem com domain name correctly and avoid lookalike scam sites. Place a Freeze A credit freeze prevents new creditors from accessing your credit file and others from opening accounts in your name. A freeze could stop identity thieves because most (but not all) businesses will not open credit accounts without checking your credit report. A credit freeze does not prevent identity thieves from taking-over your existing account. Set a fraud alert! A fraud alert requires creditors who check your credit report to take steps to verify your identity before opening a new account, issuing additional card or increasing your credit limit on an existing account. A fraud alert is free. You can place an initial alert on your account for 90 days if you have not been a victim of identity theft. The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle most consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. A contingency means if there is no recovery, there is no fee. Call us for a free consultation: 732-505-1212.

Bridge:
Continued From Page 14 is the only ingress and egress between LBI and the mainland. Now that the main portion of the bridge project is complete and ready for summer traffic, NJDOT can move on to smaller projects directly off the causeway. Beginning in 2020, NJDOT will be making improvements to the Marsha Drive intersection in Stafford as well as improvements to 8th and 9th Avenues in Ship Bottom. “We will be returning two-way traffic to those streets and widening the cross streets,” said Shapiro. These projects are in the final stages of design and are expected to go out to bid in spring of 2020. Present at the May 22 ribbon cutting were Stafford Mayor Gregory Myhre, Senator Christopher Connors (R-9), Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove (R-9), Freeholder Deputy Director Jack Kelly, Freeholder Gary Quinn, NJDOT Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti, and Division Administrator of Federal Highways Robert Clark. Assemblywoman Gove, a Long Beach Island native and former mayor, reminisced on her childhood experiences with the old causeway bridge. “To me it truly is an engineering feat,” said Gove. “I remember as a little kid growing up…going over the old bridge, the wooden bridge,” which made a “clicky-clacky” sound as you drove over it. Gove remembered a time when the most exciting news in town was the prospect of a
new bridge, “and in 1957 we got it,” she said. Over 60 years later and Gove is feeling that excitement all over again with the completion of the new Route 72 Manahawkin Bridge. Sen. Connors also took a moment to reminisce, honoring his late father and former senator, Leonard Connors. Connors passed away in 2016, a mere three years before the completion of a project that was very near and dear to his heart. “I know he’s looking down giving his blessings and deep appreciation,” said Sen. Connors. Similar to Gove and Connors, NJDOT officials wanted the new bridge to represent the community and be a place where they can make memories. “The project also has a lot of public space that is incorporated into it, which is not typical for most bridge projects,” said Shapiro. The pavilion on which the ceremony was held was built as part of the bridge project for public recreation access, such as fishing. There is a pavilion built on both the island side and mainland side. Not only this, but the addition of the Cedar Bonnet Island Trail located directly off the bridge as well as parking built for recreation purposes both add to the community feel. “The Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Bridge project is an excellent example of how the New Jersey Department of Transportation and our contractors deliver projects that improve safety and positively benefit our communities,” said NJDOT’s Gutierrez-Scaccetti. Work on the 3-mile, $319 million federally-funded bridge project is expected to be completed by 2022.

Holiday City at Berkeley EMS: The Most Important Thing In Getting Help
By Phyllis Brown What slows us down once we get to you? Usually it is lack of available information. Even if you don’t think you will need 9-1-1 in the near future, it is best to be prepared. If you just need help getting up after a fall or you need a little first aid, like a bandage, we probably don’t need too much information from you. I consider myself to be healthy; however, I have this information magnetically attached to the side of my refrigerator in case of emergency. Everyone should do this. Have the names and numbers of your doctor and your emergency contact, if your contact is not local, you may want a second contact. Have a list of your medical history. A list of medical conditions can make the number of questions we need to as go from a zillion to maybe only 100. When you feel poorly, it seems like that. Have a list of all drugs/dosages, including vitamins. The list of medications is very important. The hospital does not want us to bring your meds. They will not give you your own meds because the bottles are open and there is no way to know if you have the correct drugs in the bottles. Also remember vitamins are drugs and can react badly with other drugs. Have a list of allergies to foods and medications, important for the Hospital or paramedics. Have a medical Power of Attorney. Hopefully you will never need it. If you do it means you can’t tell us what you need or want. You may need to have someone you
trust to help make a decision for you until you are better. If we cannot read this we must assume it doesn’t exist no matter what anyone says. And I hate to bring this up but, if you are suffering from a fatal illness, you may want your doctor to sign a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate form). If there is no DNR or we can’t find it, we will perform CPR until a doctor pronounces you dead even if someone tells us “it’s here somewhere”. The last two documents must be available or we have to assume they do not exist. It is important to put all this information in one place where it is easily accessible. I suggest that place be the side of your refrigerator, as we will look there if you can’t tell us where it is. This will insure that the EMS team will have everything needed in case I can’t tell them. If you can’t get to the door and it is locked, it is not a bad idea to have a key somewhere or a lock box so EMS can get in without calling the Police to break down your door. It saves time and your property. Most of us never think about that until we call 9-1-1 and can’t get to the door. Information about a key under a statue or a garage door code can be given to your local police. Want to see the world, join the navy. Want some action; join HCBEMS at 100 Port Royal Drive. You can recycle Magazines, Phone Books, Shredded Paper and Aluminum Cans at the recycling area behind the HCBEMS building.

WALL —Boys and girls ages 8-17 will have an opportunity to experience an airplane ride on Saturday, June 8, as Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 315 of the North Jersey Shore hosts a Young Eagles Flight Rally at Monmouth Jet Center (formerly Monmouth Executive Airport), 1717 Highway 34 in Wall Township. The EAA Young Eagles Program was created in 1992 to interest young people in aviation. Since then volunteer EAA pilots have flown more than 2 million young people who reside in more than 90 countries. Since 2004 Chapter 315 has flown over 600 young people at local airports: Monmouth, Lakewood, and Old Bridge. There is no charge for Young Eagle flights. Pilots taking part in the event are all volunteers and will be happy to explain more about the different airplanes involved. They will also demonstrate how pilots ensure that safety is the prime concern before every flight. The young people will learn what makes an airplane fly, what it takes to get a pilot’s license, and what career possibilities exist in the world of aviation. Even if the young people never pursue a pilot’s license, the EAA hopes to create friends of aviation.
Following the flight, each young person will receive a logbook and a certificate making him or her an official Young Eagle. Their names will then be entered into the “World’s Largest Logbook,” which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The Logbook is also accessible on the Internet at youngeagles.org. Those attending the flight rally on June 8 are asked to enter the airport at Hurley Pond Road west of Highway 34 and proceed to the Main Terminal Building, starting at 9:30 a.m. to register for their flight. A parent or guardian who can sign a required parental permission form must be present. Flights will begin at 10 a.m., with registration closing at 1:00 PM. In case of inclement weather on the 8th, the rain date will be Saturday, June 22. An October 2018 event had previously been planned but both the original and rain dates were cancelled due to weather. Additional information about EAA and the EAA Young Eagles program is available at eaa.org or youngeagles.org. Follow the local chapter page at facebook.com/ EAAChapter315 for updates on this and future events.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 1 - june 7
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Find where you belong and connect with your tribe. You can make friends in the week ahead who will support your business ambitions or share your various interests. Networking can help you achieve your goals. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be challenged by destabilizing influences in the week ahead. Every change of plan or unexpected event requires you to put on your thinking cap, but with the right attitude you can take it all in stride. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your own priorities may be at odds with what your romantic partner wants and needs. In the week ahead you may need to perform a balancing act to avoid the appearance of a lack of consideration that could undermine your relationship. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The wrong words can be impossible to un-say. When someone suffers from foot in-the-mouth disease the awkwardness can disrupt communications for some time. Make an effort to be honest but diplomatic in the upcoming week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Give an inch to gain a mile. You may experience challenges when engaged in one-on-one negotiations in the week ahead if you are unbending. At the workplace don’t take someone’s deceptions personally; it reflects on them, not you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dig in your heels and use your ambitions to make your way forward. This could be a good week to begin a new diet or start newer and better habits because you can harness your willpower and exercise powerful self-discipline.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may find yourself caught between a rock and a hard place at some point in the week ahead. Your generosity and fairness can counteract pressure and any attempts at coercion. You may feel resistant to new techniques or ideas. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be as steady as a rock and you will rock it. People know they can rely upon you to be responsible, thoughtful and ethical. You can be counted upon to offer a level-headed approach when others experience a crisis. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Pollyanna looked for something good in everything and because she looked, she found it, so can you. Even if there are good reasons, think carefully before parting with your hard-earned cash in the week ahead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Leave a legacy. You can build something substantial with your hard work and dedication. In the week to come you might be more concerned with realizing your ambitions rather than making others feel loved. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make an assessment of your budget before you make purchases, so you don’t waste your resources in the week ahead. Gather advice from an expert who can guide you on subjects such as living more sustainably. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Count your blessings daily, and before you count out dollars to spend. You may have some costly desires in the week ahead, but it’s really all about attitude. Ben Franklin said, “Contentment makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor.”

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Make A Big, Fresh Impression As You Kick Off Summer Grilling Season By Wolfgang Puck “Go big or go home!” You’re probably familiar with that popular expression, which some accounts say started in the 1990s with an ad slogan here in Southern California, where I live. That phrase often makes sense to me when talking about cooking. But I don’t interpret it to mean serving huge portions. Instead, I believe in making big impressions by preparing the finest-quality ingredients in impressive, wonderfully flavorful ways, especially when cooking for a special occasion. That brings us to the traditional kickoff of the summer grilling season on Memorial Day. Why plan a menu of ordinary burgers or hot dogs when it takes very little extra effort to “go big”? I like to make sure burgers are special by topping or stuffing them with boldly flavored cheeses and accompanying them with crispy bacon and grilled onion slices. I’ll choose high-quality hot dogs, slit them lengthwise, stuff them with sharp cheddar cheese, and then wrap them round and round with bacon that crisps up on the grill. My steaks, chicken, chops, ribs and other barbecue staples gain extra distinction from bold marinades and generous arrays of fresh vegetables that surround them on the grill. But what about seafood, you might wonder? How can fish, which grills so quickly, offer much room for creativity? That speed never stops me. I like to skewer jumbo shrimp on branches of fresh rosemary, for example. I grilled whole sides of marinated salmon fillet and accompany them with delicious vegetable salads and garlicky, Greek-style yogurt sauces. And I top halves of hot-off-the-grill lobster with spicy butters that form an instant sauce right in the shell. Whole medium-sized fish just large enough to serve four to six people offer some of the best opportunities for creativity. Choose a fresh variety that’s the right size for a home outdoor grill, like a 3-pound (1.5-kg) red snapper or sea bass, and it’s easy to make a really big impression, as you’ll see when you look over my recipe for Mediterranean-style grilled whole red snapper with fennel and Pernod butter sauce. Keep sustainability in mind when shopping. Lots of fish sold as “red snapper” in markets today are not true red snapper, and some may not come from sustainable fishing practices. Always buy from a reputable fishmonger and look for red snapper caught in U.S. Gulf of Mexico waters, which is considered a good choice. A good alternative is branzino, also known as Mediterranean sea bass. Let me offer one final word. I know that the idea of grilling a whole fish may seem daunting. But do it once, and you’ll be surprised by how easy it really is to “go big” when cook seafood in your own backyard! MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE GRILLED WHOLE RED SNAPPER WITH FENNEL AND PERNOD BUTTER SAUCE Serves 4 to 6 For the fish: 1 whole fresh red snapper or other firm-fleshed mild white fish such as branzino or sea bass, about 3 pounds (1.5 kg), gills, guts and scales removed
Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 fennel bulbs, trimmed, fronds reserved, bulbs cut into slices 1/4-inch (6-mm) thick 6 sprigs fresh thyme 2 sprigs fresh oregano 1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil For the Pernod butter sauce: 1/4 cup (60 mL) water 1 lemon, juiced 1 tablespoon Pernod 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces Tender inner fronds from 1 fennel bulb (see above), finely chopped Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Build a hot fire in an outdoor charcoal grill, or preheat a gas grill on high. Meanwhile, rinse the snapper inside and out with cold running water. Pat thoroughly dry inside and out with paper towels. With kitchen shears, cut off any large fins. Season the cavity with salt and pepper. Stuff the fronds from 1 fennel bulb into the cavity. Add the thyme and oregano, and press the cavity closed. With a sharp knife, cut three equally spaced diagonal slashes through the skin and down to the bone in the flesh on each side of the fish. Insert one lemon slice into each slit. Brush the fish all over with olive oil and season the outside with salt and pepper. With a grill brush, scrub the grill’s cooking grid. Quickly and carefully brush the surface of the hot grid with olive oil. Place the stuffed fish diagonally across the preheated grid and cook for about 10 minutes; then, carefully slide two sturdy grill spatulas under the fish and rotate it 90 degrees, sliding out the spatulas and leaving the fish to cook on the same side until the flesh is firm but still moist, about 5 minutes longer. Carefully use the spatulas to turn the fish over and cook on the other side for at least 10 minutes, until the flesh looks opaque and lifts easily from the bone but is still moist. As soon as the fish starts cooking, place the fennel slices on a large platter, drizzle with olive oil, and turn to coat evenly. When you turn the fish over, arrange the slices on the grill and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and keep warm. For the sauce, place a small saucepan on the grill or on a stove burner over medium heat. Add the water, and bring to a simmer. Add the lemon juice and Pernod, and cook until reduced by about a third. Remove the pan from the heat, and whisk in the butter a few pieces at a time until fully incorporated; then, whisk in the chopped fennel fronds. Season to taste with salt and pepper. With the metal spatulas, carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a large serving platter. To serve, starting at the slits cut in the flesh before cooking, use a spatula to lift portions of the fillet from the bone, transferring to individual serving plates. Arrange grilled fennel slices around the fish and spoon some sauce over each portion.
