Stafford Adopts $48M Budget
By Kimberly Bosco STAFFORD – On May 21, the new members of the Stafford Township Council adopted their first municipal budget with the help of new administrator Matthew von der Hayden. T he 2019 mu nicipal operating budget totals $48,207,774.49, with $37,619,532.57 to be raised by taxation. The tax rate for 2019 is calculated at 0.894. Stafford residents will see less than a $20 increase on their municipal property tax payment from 2018 to 2019. According to von der Hayden, the average residence is assessed at $329,009.89 for 2019. The average tax payment for 2018 was estimated at $2,921.61. For 2019, that number is $2,941.35. Thus, residents will see an increase of $19.74 per household on their residential tax payment this year. The municipal budget is decreasing overall from 2018 to 2019 by approximately $820,513. In 2018, residents saw $49,028,287.94 in general appropriations. According to von der Hayden, the major decreases stem from a $59,000 decrease in administration salary and wages as well as a $437,500 decrease in employee group insurance. One of the major increases to the budget is due to a $456,562 increase to salary and wages, “which were contractual increases from the 2017-2020 contracts,” von der Hayden wrote in an email.

–Photo by Kimberly Bosco Animals like these are up for adoption at the Toms River Animal Shelter at 235 Oak Ave. By Chris Lundy and Kimberly Bosco JERSEY SHORE – It seems that there is a lot of bad news lately about suffering animals. Geese being attacked. A service dog-in-training killed. A cat shot with a crossbow. The other geese being attacked. The natural instinct when reading these articles is outrage. How could someone do such a thing? Who is really the animal here?

Experts: These Are The Barriers To Solving Opioid Crisis By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A Town Hallstyle meeting of people on the front lines of the opioid epidemic was held recently. The goal: to identify the roadblocks to solving the crisis. The meeting was held at the Toms River branch of the Ocean County library, hosted by Congressman
Andy Kim (D-3rd). He said addiction has been mentioned at every town hall he’s hosted, but he’s just not seeing the same level of urgency in Washington, D.C. According to state figures, there were 3,118 deaths suspected of overdose in 2018. As of June 3, the figure for 2019 is 871. (The state
uses the term “suspected” deaths because until the lab tests confirm, the victim is only suspected of dying from an overdose.) But these are just statistics, and they hide the personal impact that drugs have. That’s why there were several people at the town hall who told their story.
Lisa Cook lost her 25-year-old daughter, Danielle, last year. Danielle was the type of person who once pulled over when she saw an elderly couple having trouble, and took time out to help them. She didn’t know that a boyfriend had laced marijuana with harder (Crisis - See Page 5)

Crisis:
Continued From Page 1 drugs, and she became an addict, Cook said. There were many times that Danielle tried to get better but the system failed her: Insurance wouldn’t pay for more than 14 days during one rehab stint; a court officer told her she’d never be clean; and patient privacy laws kept her parents in the dark. It was key points like this that the experts needed to know in order to forge policies and change how people address the epidemic. Some of the suggestions are as follows: Easier access to treatment. Several of the speakers said this was crucial. Heather Shapter, with the New Jersey Organizing Project, said someone should be able to Google addiction treatment and find something right away. “When an addict has a moment of clarity,” that’s when you have to treat them. Pamela Capaci, CEO of Hope Sheds Light, said you are asking a lot of someone dealing with addiction to navigate multiple systems of care. It should be streamlined. Dr. Samir Jani, of Garden State Medical Center, said that he can view a patient’s prescriptions from any provider in the state, and even some other states. However, the network doesn’t cover the entire country, and patients can still get prescription painkillers from certain states and keep it secret in New Jersey. He wants to see a more comprehensive, country-wide network. Kimberly Reilly, Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Coordinator for the Ocean County Health Department said that when someone dies of an overdose, certain statistics like age and gender are recorded. However, that doesn’t tell the story. That doesn’t explain why they went down the path they did. If that can be learned, then we wouldn’t have to wait for someone to hit rock bottom before they can be helped. “There’s a story behind someone who has died of an overdose,” she said. “Tell me what worked, and what didn’t work.” She said this information would help drive policy and inform grant writing. Pamela Capaci, CEO of Hope Sheds Light, said that people with addiction have to navigate a complicated system to just to get help. The system is also short-sighted, looking to help people in the immediate term when addiction is really a long-term issue. Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said that the dangers of drugs have to be discussed to even younger kids than what is being done now. They have to be taught how to make good choices and how to rebound from bad ones. Fentanyl amounted to 10 percent of overdose labwork in 2014, but that is up to 70 percent in 2018. “People have to know they’re playing Russian roulette.” Eric McIntire, vice president of the RWJBarnabas Health Institute for Prevention and Recovery, said that anyone revived from an overdose is met with an addiction counselor in the hospital. The counselor is a recovered addict, so they talk the talk and walk the walk. There’s only a curtain between beds sometimes, and the person on the other side will ask for help with their addiction as well. “Why does someone have to almost die to get help?” he asked. What’s
The Southern Ocean Times, June 8, 2019, Page 5 needed is the human connection. People need access to recovery specialists before they are hospitalized, who can guide them to the next step. Heather Shapter, with the New Jersey Organizing Project, said a car crash made her addicted to prescription painkillers, which led to heroin. Purdue Pharmaceutical marketed oxycontin, downplaying its addictive properties. The state is currently suing the Sackler family who allegedly had a lot to do with that, but Shapter said they should be accountable in other ways, including a windfall tax. She described the first hand problems she had with trying to get clean, including driving 75 minutes each way to find a doctor since every local one was full. Other challenges discussed included: Insurance companies shouldn’t be able to dictate treatment. Transitional housing. There is a lack of places to put people in recovery. Lower the stigma related to substance abuse disorder. Start talking the language of recovery, and making goals. Congressman Kim said these suggestions would be collected and discussed to see if they can be addressed legislatively. A hand-out given at the meeting provided resources for people needing help:

Budget:
Continued From Page 1 Other notable increases: • Debt service: $431,086.90 from a bond issued in 2018 • PERS/PFRS Pension Contribution: $288,307.08 determined by the State of NJ Pension System • Community Disaster Loan Payment: $253,609.94 “FEMA provided the amortization schedule at the end of 2018 which resulted in a four-year repayment schedule instead of a five-year schedule which increased the loan payment,” von der Hayden told Jersey Shore Online. Von der Hayden began as Stafford’s new administrator in April 2019, so the town-
ship has been working overtime to put out a timely budget. He cited “working with the prior contracts and obligations identified in the increases” [as noted] as one of the major challenges to this budget. While von der Hayden and the township council agree that the 2019 municipal budget is a fiscally sound one, they do recognize a few areas for improvement for the future. “We are working on developing a road rating to identify the roads that are in need first. We are also going to be developing a capital plan that looks longer term which will help identify essentials in the township, so these needs do not result in emergency expenditures,” wrote von der Hayden. “This planning process should improve the budget process going forward.”

Understanding Shoulder Replacement Surgery By: Kimberly Salvato, DPT
TOTAL SHOULDER REPLACEMENT (TSA):
The total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) was first performed in the United States in the 1950’s. Now, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality states 53,000 people in the U.S. have shoulders replaced each year. The goal is to decrease pain, while increasing mobility, strength, and function.
fractures. The most common cause is advanced osteoarthritis meaning the joint’s smooth cartilage lining has deteriorated. Surgery is considered when conservative treatments (rehabilitation, injection, medication) have failed. IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
This decision should be made between you, your family, and your orthopedic surgeon. If conservative treatment did not relieve symptoms, then TSA can be a great option to help increase your independence, and regain your quality of life. TSA: TOTAL V. REVERSE
SHOULDER ANATOMY
The shoulder is composed of three bones: the humerus (upper arm), scapula (shoulder blade), and clavicle (collar bone). Like a ball and socket joint, the head of the humerus (the ball) fits into the socket of the scapula (glenoid cavity). Next is the rotator cuff, made up of four muscles which hold the head of the humerus into the glenoid cavity. CAUSES:
Causes for a TSA include rheumatoid arthritis, disease of the rotator cuff, osteonecrosis, and humeral head

Bill Would Help Small Businesses Overcome Red Tape From The Desk Of
Congressman Andy Kim WASHI NGTON, D.C. – Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) and Senator Jeanne Shaheen (NH) introduced the Small Business Reg ulator y Relief Act, a bill that will help small businesses navigate excessive red t ape and
help them grow and create jobs. “Small business owners fa ce e noug h ch al le nges ever y day, it’s up to Cong ress to help clear t hei r pat h so t hey ca n g row and create jobs,” said Congressman Kim.
“The Ombudsman’s off ice is a great resource to small business owners looking to navigate their way through a sea of red tape. By making it more efficient, we can make it more effective and we can help empower our small business owners in New Jersey and throughout the country.” The bill would give the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Office of the National Ombudsman the authority to work with federal agencies to provide
meaningful compliance assistance and improve its outreach to help small businesses. The bill also establishes a single point of contact at each federal agency to work with the Ombudsman, which will improve effor ts to help small business owners navigate federal regulations. The SBA’s Office of the National Ombudsman was created in 1996 to help small busi nesses overcome excessive or unfair regulator y enforcement actions by federal agen-
cies. These actions include repetitive audits, investigations or excessive fines. In Fiscal Year 2017, the Office of the National Ombudsman advocated on behalf of 460 small businesses and conducted more than 130 outreach events across the country. “As a small business owner, I’ll take any help I can get navigating red tape,” said John Earp from Bubbys Beanery in Toms R i v e r. “ C o n g r e s s m a n Kim’s bill will help clear the way so small business
owners like myself can focus on what we do best: serve our customers, grow our economy and create jobs.” Cong ressman K im is a member of the House Committee on Small Business, and the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Tax and Capital Access. Senator Shaheen is a former small business owner and a me mb e r of t he Se nate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
New Jersey Sues Family That Created OxyContin
TRENTON – Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal announced that the State has filed a lawsuit against eight members of Purdue Pharma’s founding Sackler family, alleging that their greed-driven opioid marketing and sales strategy fomented the opioid crisis that continues to claim lives in New Jersey and across the nation. Filed in Superior Court i n E s s e x C o u n t y, t h e State’s complaint accuses the Sackler defendants of seeking to become u nimaginably rich by deceptively promoting their compa ny’s opioid pai n medications as rarely addictive, seeking to f lood the market with Purdue’s opioid pain products by encouraging r isk y prescribing practices, and by targeting vulnerable new patient populations such as the elderly. Specifically, the complaint alleges that each Sackler defendant named in the lawsuit helped direct and took par t in a widespread campaign to deceive doctors and other caregivers with prescribing authority about the risks and benefits of Purdue’s marquee opioid pain relief drug, OxyContin, as well as other dangerously
addictive opioid pain medications made and sold by Purdue and prescription opioids generally. “ T he Sack ler fa m ily built a multi-billion-dollar drug empire based on addiction,” said Attorney General Grewal. “Despite knowing the harms that would result, the Sacklers drove Purdue to pursue deceitful sales campaigns for OxyContin and other highly addictive opioid pai n k illers, campaig ns that were dutifully carried out by a small ar my of the company’s employees. Our communities are still reeling from the epidemic of addiction and overdose deaths caused by thei r misconduct.” Sackler defendants named in today’s four-count lawsuit include former Purdue CEO and President Dr. Richard S. Sackler, who also served as Purdue’s head of research and development for nearly a decade; Jonathan D. Sackler; Dr. Kathe Sackler; Ilene Sackler Lefcourt; Mortimer D.A. Sackler; Beverly Sackler; Theresa Sackler; and David A. Sackler. Each of the defendants sat on the Purdue Pharma Board of Di rectors for many years – including some who served for the
better part of three decades – before leaving the Board in 2017 or 2018. The State’s complaint lays out a callous plan by the Sacklers to use deception and misinformation to turn the medical community and the public - away from the prevailing view that opioids were so potent and potentially addictive that they should be prescribed sparingly. The misinformation campaign worked, the complai nt asser t s, a nd t he Sacklers managed through intensive marketing and high-pressure sales tactics to replace the old wisdom with a new mindset: that pain was an under-recognized and under treated health care problem, and that opioids should be the first line of treatment for patients suffering from such chronic conditions as moderate back pain, migraine headaches and arthritis. Purdue Pharma makes a variety of opioid pain me d icat ion s i nclud i ng Butrans and Hysingla ER. However, the company’s most popular opioid pain medication by far has been OxyContin. Starting with the market debut of OxyContin in 1996, Purdue generated overall sales
estimated at more than $35 billion. The company’s current annual revenues are estimated at approximately $3 billion, mostly from the sale of OxyContin. The lawsuit alleges that, under the Sackler defendants’ direction, Purdue aggressively and deceptively marketed its opioid drugs – particularly OxyContin – for the long-term treatment of chronic pain. The suit also alleges that Purdue failed to disclose it had no studies to support most of its promotional claims – for example, that opioids were not very addictive, that addiction risks were easily managed, opioids continued to be
effective when used for treatment periods lasting many months and years, and that long-term opioid usage improved patients’ daily function and quality of life. The State’s lawsuit includes t h ree cou nt s of violating the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and one count of violating the State’s False Claims Act. T he complai nt seek s monet a r y d a mages for false claims, maximum stat utor y penalties u nder the Consumer Fraud Act and the False Claims Act, disgorgement of any ill-gotten gains, and other relief as contribution for the costly solutions – including addiction treat-
ment and prescriber education – required to abate the opioid crisis in New Jersey. According to the complaint, the State’s largest Medicaid managed care organization paid $109 million for opioids – much of it based on false claims caused by the defendants’ misconduct – through the Med icaid prog r a m be tween 2008 and 2017. The State paid another $6 million under its Workers’ Compensation Program during the same time span, and approximately $136 million under its State Employee and Retiree Health Plans between 2012 and 2017. The bulk of those expenditures were for Purdue opioids, the complaint alleges.

Animal:
Continued From Page 1 If you’re saddened or angered by news like this – and you should be – know that there are ways to help animals locally. There are several animal shelters that need donations and volunteers. They would welcome help from people who want to make the world better for animals in their area. Calling All Cats Rescues, in Jackson, always needs kitten and cat chow, and cleaning supplies. They are currently well stocked with linens, said Sara Cameron, president and founder. They have an Amazon wish list that is pinned to the top of their Facebook page. They are also looking for volunteers and foster families. There was one situation recently where a hurt animal was helped by this organization. A feral cat, who might be a senior, was found on the side of Route 571, struck by a car. Fortunately, it was spotted by a volunteer for the organization. She thought she was dead until she saw movement. The cat was brought to a vet, where she was given pain medication, anti-biotics, and an x-ray that revealed her back was broken. Doctors told her the humane thing would be to put her down. “I wasn’t ready,” Cameron said. “If I put her down, I can’t reverse that.” The cat was eating, drinking, and grooming herself. It didn’t look like a cat that had given up. The cat wasn’t ready to go, either. Now, the cat is named Phoenix, and she lives at the sanctuary. She probably will spend the rest of her years here, since her medical care is more than what most people are able to do (which includes acupuncture). She was fitted for a harness that has wheels on it, and she pulls herself along with her front paws. She has grown accustomed to the shelter life, as opposed to being a stray, and has become affectionate. “Every day she just keeps getting stronger and stronger,” she said.
At the Jersey Shore Animal Center in Brick, they are always in need of cat food, blankets, towels, sheets, and cleaning products, said Jaime Dunning, project director. Donations can be dropped off seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., although the adoption center is only open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. Volunteers have to be 16 or older, and have to apply, she said. Monetary donations can be given through the site: jerseyshoreanimalcenter.org. The Toms River Animal Shelter is also looking for cat and kitten food, and particularly kitten formula. They are asking for KMR ready-made cans, powder, and Miracle Nipples, as well as experienced bottle feeders, 18 and older. Serving locations in both Ocean and Monmouth Counties is Rescue Ridge Adoption. Rescue Ridge is always looking for volunteers to walk the dogs, socialize with the dogs and cats, as well as transport animals to adoption events and/or veterinary appointments. “We can use people to help us at events, especially strong people who can help carry tents. We need people who can man the tables we need people who can talk to the public about Rescue Ridge,” stated Joan Parmese, Director of Operations at Rescue Ridge A volunteer application can be found at rescueridge.com. You must be 19 or older to volunteer. If volunteering isn’t your thing, there are many other ways to help out. You can simply donate at rescueridge.com, or you can partake in their brick campaign. For $25, you can “honor your pet, a friend’s pet or even just a friend.” If you wish to donate more than just money, you can visit Rescue Ridge’s site at rescueridge.com/about to view their Amazon wish list. “If it is toys, we don’t normally take rope toys or anything too little since we deal mostly with larger animals. We do not accept open bags of food just for safety reasons and we like to keep our animals on a consistent diet,”
New Jersey has locations in Forked River in Ocean County and Tinton Falls in Monmouth County. On their website, you can find a wish list full of items needed at all their shelter locations. The list includes dog and cat food, kitten and puppy food, nursing bottles, towels, wash cloths, toys, blankets, sheets, litter, collars, harnesses, leashes, paper towels, bird seed and toys, and more.

RESTORING VISION AFTER STROKE
When a stroke occurs in the brain’s “primary visual cortex,” which processes visual information, the resultant lack of oxygenated blood can lead to damage among the neurons in that region. Approximately 60% of people who suffer a stroke experience vision loss. While some patients may spontaneously regain their sight, those who have sustained damage to their “retinal ganglion cells” are not likely to recover sight in the affected area. However, new research reveals that some retinal cells in those with stroke-related vision impairment were still healthy and functional even though sight in that part of the eye was lost. Research shows the next step will involve finding ways to help these healthy cells interpret visual information from the visual cortex. How your vision is affected by stroke depends on several factors. They include what part of the brain was affected, how severe the stroke was, and how long before it was treated. 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. To schedule an eye exam, please call 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.
stated Parmese. “Treats should only be made in America and probably should not be treated with irradiation” If you are out and about, you can text 732546-8805 to see what is needed at that time. In southern Ocean County you will find the Ocean County Animal Shelter’s Manahawkin location as well as their partner organization, the Friends of the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter (FOSOCAS). The organization is always looking for volunteers that can get the dogs out for a bit of exercise. “(Dog walker) orientations are held at the shelter on the first Saturday and the third Sunday of each month. Must be 21 years of age and have enough strength and balance to get the dogs in/out of their kennels and walk for extended period of time,” stated the Friends’ website. To become a dog walker, email dogwalkers@ fosocas.org. FOSOCAS also needs individuals who are willing to foster cats or dogs, be “bottle babies” who bottle feed the very young kittens, or volunteer at their adoption centers. More information on volunteer opportunities can be found at fosocas.org/programs.

Southern French Students Earn The Seal Of Biliteracy
–Photo courtesy Southern Regional MANAHAWKIN – The students in the French 4 Honors Class at Southern Regional High School were the first students in the school’s history to sit for a Bilingual State Certified Test, the AAPPL. Of the 25 students who took the test, 19 attained the Seal of Biliteracy. The Seal of Biliteracy, offered by the State of New Jersey and 21 others states, affirms that the students have attained Intermediate-Mid Proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, and listening in two or more languages. The speaking part is the most difficult part, as students are required to answer 25 questions with only 20 seconds to think before answering.
They must answer with at least a minute long response to all of the questions. Madame Skodi and Madame Greene, the two French teachers at Southern Regional, are so proud of the students. Some of them went above and beyond the minimum requirement of Intermediate –Mid and attained Intermediate –High and Advanced Levels. These standout students were Audrey Brognon, Larry Giberson, Claire La Sala, Abigail Lohrmann, Abigail Patchell, Mikey Pukala, and Melanie Thorn. Congratulations to all the students for their huge success in acquiring the Seal of Biliteracy in French.

Restaurants Can Be Really Noisy
One of the most common hearing problems we hear about is the difficulty of hearing in noisy restaurants. It seems that along with movies, television shows, and the world in general, restaurants have become noisier than ever. Loud background music, the clatter of silverware and dishes, the sounds of other diners raising their voices to be heard, all can make the restaurant setting a challenging and frustrating place to carry on a conversation. People with normal hearing also complain about noisy restaurants. According to Sagat Surveys, noise is the second most common complaint of restaurant-goers (second only to poor service). Research has documented that the noise levels of most restaurants are loud enough to interfere with normal conversations, whether or not the individual has a hearing loss. In general, family restaurants are much quieter than the bar/ restaurant setting. The “elegant, upscale”
restaurant will always be the quietest setting by far. Apparently, patrons of more expensive restaurants receive not only better food and service for their dining dollar, they also get a better listening environment. Tips for hearing aid users in restaurants may include the following: (1) Try to sit away from the kitchen and with your back to a wall. Noise levels will be kept to a minimum and your waiter or waitress will have to face you when speaking, and (2) Try not to be a people watcher and sit towards the corner of a restaurant. You will be surprised how much better you will be hearing by preferentially situating yourself in any restaurant environment. Remember, we live in a very noisy place and even individuals with normal hearing have difficulty hearing in noisy restaurants. Utilizing effective communication strategies will help to reduce your frustration in these listening environments.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
A Hairy Recommendation Dear Joel, My friend got a new hairstyle and I think it’s awful. It’s the kind of cut you’d see on a teen pop star, complete with colored stripes. She thinks it looks great and is raving about her stylist, but I’d like to persuade her to try my stylist who could give her a look that’s more age appropriate. How do I go about getting her to try my stylist? Do you think I should try a gift card to my salon? Judy, Brick Dear Hairy, You made me chuckle. Just last night I was looking at some old magazines, remarking at how funny some of the hairdos were. And that’s just not the ladies either. I remember when all the men were getting curly perms. Your friend’s new do is a touchy topic, because she is so enamored with her new
look, but I think your idea is a good one. You and you friend might plan a day of beauty together with your stylist. Just let your stylist play with hair and ask if she’s been thinking about changing it. You’ll see if she’s willing to try a new look. I asked my wife about this one and the always wise Mrs. reminded me that hairstyles change all the time. Maybe if you give it a couple months, she might be over looking like the latest pop princess and more like the lady of the house. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Surprise, Surprise… Eggs Reduce Risk Of Stroke
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
For years, folks have been afraid of eggs, and how they are “bad” for cholesterol and LDL. Long gone are the days where people drank them raw like Sylvester Stallone did in Rocky… and no I don’t recommend you do that! Rocky did that to build muscle mass, but so you know, the practice of eating raw eggs is about 120 years old. Today, some body builders use the liquid egg whites, to avoid salmonella contamination. Today’s focus is on eggs and whether or not they raise risk of heart disease or stroke. The rationale is that eggs are high in cholesterol, and hypercholesterolemia increases stroke. So let’s explore that today, and see what the research claims. One hard-boiled egg contains 187 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol. One scrambled eggs has about 169 mg natural cholesterol. Data accumulated from epidemiological studies suggests an inverse relationship… meaning the more eggs you eat the higher your risk for stroke. However, the evidence of the relationship is quite limited, and has not deterred me from eating them. Millions of people have however, are running scared from the egg. There is brand new research out, and it was just published in the May 16, 2019 issue of The Journal of the American College of Nutrition. The aim of the study was to determine the association of eggs (and cholesterol intake) with risk of stroke. It was conducted in 1,950 middle-aged men from Finland. Neither
egg consumption, nor cholesterol intake was associated with stroke incidence. The gene that inf luences cholesterol metabolism (ApoE4) was accounted for. The lack of an association between eggs and stroke is great news for egg lovers! There was a Meta-analysis published in 2016, in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. Scientists poured through seven different studies and compiled the statistics. Their findings while not a surprise to me, actually came as a shock to others. Let me just quote right out of the STUDY so you can interpret it as you wish: Based on the results of this meta-analysis, consumption of up to one egg daily may contribute to a decreased risk of total stroke, and daily egg intake does not appear to be associated with risk of CHD. In other words, the data reveals that eggs might lower risk of stroke, not raise them like everyone is telling you! I’m 54 at the time of this writing and so I can hear Sergeant Gomer Pyle in my head saying “Surprise, surprise!” What’s so important here, and one of the messages that I am trying to give you is to stop worrying so much about food. I think there is so much mental chatter going on in the heads of Americans. Eat this, and not that, this here is bad for you, bread might kill you, there’s caffeine in this, gluten in that, lactose in this and sugar in that! Just enjoy real food, eat wisely, avoid all chemicals and refined foods… and unless you are vegan, go ahead and eat the eggs!

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law CALL TO ACTION! TIME IS RUNNING OUT. S-2432/A-5371 Permits recovery of uncompensated medical expenses in civil action that result from motor vehicle accidents This Bill (S-2432/A-5371) is now Governor Murphy’s desk for his consideration. We urge you to call Governor Murphy NOW and tell him to sign this Bill. (609) 292-6000. The New Jersey Association for Justice and R.C. Shea & Associates strongly support S-2432/A-5371, which will allow victims of motor vehicle accidents to seek payment for medical expenses that may exceed insurance coverage they have under Personal Injury Protection coverage (PIP). This bill is needed in light of the New Jersey Supreme Court decision in Haines v. Taft, which limits payments for medical care to the insured’s PIP limits with no regard to the actual extent of the injuries sustained and the cost of treatment and care. In many cases, and especially for those lower-income individuals who followed the law and shopped for an insurance policy they could afford, that PIP limit is as little as $15,000. This decision discriminates against those in New Jersey who do not have the financial resources to buy high levels
Robert C. Shea Esq.
of insurance or PIP coverage. As Justice Barry T. Albin said in his dissenting opinion in the case, the decision “will have a catastrophic impact on the right of low-income automobile accident victims to recover their medical costs from the wrongdoers who cause their injuries. The decision leaves innocent automobile accident victims without the legal right to sue negligent and reckless drivers for recovery of their unpaid medical bills – medical bills that will bankrupt some and financially crush others.” The majority decision in Haines invited the Legislature to step in and correct this unjust situation and S-2432/A-5371 does precisely that. This bill would clarify that the Legislative intent is that a victim injured in an auto accident should not be left with crushing medical bills and no legal recourse against the tortfeasor. The public policy of the state of New Jersey simply cannot be that consumers risk potential bankruptcy or financially devastating medical bills in exchange for lower premiums. Injured auto accident victims should not be left to pay for the medical care necessitated by the negligent actions of those who have injured them. TAKE ACTION NOW!

Around The Jersey Shore OCVTS Takes 5th Place In 16th Annual Stock Market Game Capitol Hill Challenge
WASHINGTON, DC – Ocean County Vocational Technical School (OCVTS) students took home 5th place in a national Annual Capitol Hill Challenge program. SIFMA and the SIFMA Foundation recently congratulated all the participants of the 16th Annual Capitol Hill Challenge (CHC) national program, supported by the Charles Schwab Foundation, and announce the 10 teams who have won an all-expense paid trip to Washington, DC, and who will be recognized at an Awards Reception on June 11 at the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill. “Congratulations to all the participants of this year’s Capitol Hill Challenge,” said Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr., SIFMA president and CEO. “For the sixth consecutive year, 100 percent of Congress participated and SIFMA commends the members of Congress who took the time to visit their local schools and engage with students on financial education.” This 14-week challenge organizes teams of public middle and high school students by congressional district and state and teaches the importance of saving and investing, while simultaneously promoting a better understanding of our government. Teams invest a hypothetical $100,000 in listed stocks, bonds, and mutual funds and learn the value of the capital markets as they work together to diversify across asset classes and maximize the return of their portfolios. Since the Capitol Hill Challenge began in 2004, the program has reached nearly 125,000 students through some 5,000 matches of U.S. representatives and senators with schools. Public middle and high school students from all 50 states, Guam and Washington, DC, are participating in this year’s Challenge, which focuses on increasing access for Title 1 schools. “Since day one, Schwab has been committed to making investing and financial education accessible to everyone,” said Jeff Brown, Senior Vice President, Legislative and Regulatory Affairs, Charles Schwab. “Our support of the Capitol Hill Challenge™ is an extension of our commitment to advocating for more financial literacy programs and to giving people the education and tools they need to take control of their financial futures. We congratulate the winning teams and commend all participating students and their teachers for their commitment to understanding personal finance.” “Capitol Hill Challenge provides critical
educational experiences to young people across America, emphasizing underserved schools and enabling students who otherwise might not be exposed to the capital markets to gain insights that lead to their success,” said Melanie Mortimer, president of the SIFMA Foundation. “Capitol Hill Challenge students experience the positive compounding effect of understanding from an early age how finance, civics and government touch their lives.” The competition uses the SIFMA Foundation’s curriculum-based Stock Market Game to help students develop a better understanding of the global economy, become college and career ready, and improve their knowledge of math, economics, and business. The program is proven to raise student scores on tests of mathematics, economics and financial knowledge. It is also proven to positively impact students’ and teachers’ personal financial behavior. Founded in 1977 by academics at Buffalo State, The Stock Market Game has since expanded through a national network of educational nonprofit organizations to reach more than 18 million students. An independent study by Learning Point Associates found that st udents who participated in the Stock Market Game scored significantly higher on mathematics and financial literacy tests than their peers who did not participate. They also found that teachers who taught the Stock Market Game reported that the program motivated them to better plan for their own financial futures. The Stock Market Game has been named the only program that successfully increased scores on the Jumpstart Coalition’s test of high school students’ financial literacy. The Capitol Hill Challenge is just one component of the Stock Market Game, which operates in all 50 states. The program has significant benefits including professional development opportunities for teachers, teamwork and confidence building for students, and reinforcement of students’ technology and online research skills (the trading simulation is online). The program improves students’ and teachers’ financial knowledge and behavior and fulfills national standards and state-level subject matter requirements in ELA, Math, Social Studies, Business, Economics, Technology, and Consumer Science. To learn more about the program, visit the SIFMA Foundation’s website: sifma. org/chc.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 8 - june 14 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): A pop in your popularity might take you by surprise. Your activities are likely to receive widespread notice, so be sure to do your very best. Don’t ignore any opportunities that appear in the upcoming week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Romance, passion and affection could seem to be a major motivating force in your life for the next several days. If you share your original ideas in the week ahead you could earn some applause for your brilliance. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It might take longer than usual to learn a new technique but when you do, you will understand it thoroughly. In the upcoming week your attention may shift from bouncing ideas around to learning to know your partner or mate better. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Being sharp is great, but you must also use the right tool in the right way. You can’t snip roses with an axe or chop wood with clippers. In the week ahead use your skills appropriately for the best results. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can relax without pressure and reassess what constitutes true happiness. Or you can put on your thinking cap and start something worthwhile while the vision is fresh. Make wise decisions in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may feel too awkward to say what you mean, but later this week you should have a comfortable opportunity to voice your opinions clearly and completely. Don’t feel unloved if you are briefly put on the sidelines.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As this week unfolds you may need to push back against the influence of people who challenge you to increase your spending habits. Use the utmost discretion with purchases and temper impulsiveness with good business sense. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You could be spellbound by a new person or interest in the week ahead. Be alert for red flags in case all isn’t what it first seems to be. Focus on making wise and informed financial decisions with no strings attached. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the week ahead, you may focus on the things that spark joy. You won’t mind working for a living since you can find ways to make your job rewarding on many levels. Gather inventive ideas. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are aware that some people get a thrill from gaming the system. In the week ahead you will be able to maintain boundaries and elude any players who want to use you to fulfill their own agendas. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone else may receive the recognition while you do all the work. It might be wise to find a good opening in the upcoming week to mention your accomplishments and talents so that you get your fair share. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be patient if it takes more time to reach a solution or a conclusion. Some people are too polite or not willing to be straightforward so you may need to act on faith. In the upcoming week you must trust your intuitions.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Easy-To-Make Chutney IsThe Perfect Lip-Smacking StandbyTo Make Any Grilled FoodsTaste Extra Special By Wolfgang Puck
I enjoy celebrating the start of the warm-weather grilling season by encouraging you to make a big impression when you cook outdoors. But let’s face it: Sometimes, at the end of a busy workday or week, you want to relax and enjoy a great meal by simply tossing some burgers, steaks, chops, chicken, kabobs or fish on the grill. That doesn’t mean you can’t make such basic fare seem extra special. All it takes is adding the right accompaniment, such as fruit chutney. You’re probably familiar with the term “chutney.” It comes from the Hindi word chatni, literally meaning “to lick,” and appropriately refers to the wide range of sweet and spicy relishes and other condiments that add so much lip-smacking variety and delight to Indian cooking. If you order any meal in an Indian restaurant, it will probably be served with one or more chutneys - from refreshing, pesto-like mixtures of pureed mint to fiery red chili pastes to tart-sweet tamarind sauces to mildly spiced fruity mixtures of mango and fresh ginger. Chutneys are irresistible for dipping Indian breads or appetizers, and they really come into play when spooned on the side of your plate to add variety to every bite of a spicy stew or tandoori-style grilled food. You don’t have to cook a curry, however, to enjoy the pleasures of a good chutney. During summer, when so much wonderful produce is available, I like to make batches of my own chutney rather than spooning a commercial version out of a jar. The following recipe for spicy mixed fruit chutney recipe is incredibly versatile. For example, you can vary the mixtures of fruit (plus peppers and onion for a balance of sweet and savory) based on what you like best in the market. And while I’ve come up with what I think is a pleasing balance of seasonings for the chutney mixture, you can certainly adjust that once you’ve tried the recipe as it is written. Most importantly, you can use the chutney itself in a great variety of ways. Spoon some on top of a chicken piece or fish fillet as a sort of chunky sauce; or use it to replace the mustard on your burger or hot dog; or scoop a little on the side of your plate, seasoning each bite as you like. The chutney is also delicious stirred into some plain yogurt to make a refreshing dressing for salads topped with grilled food. This recipe makes a batch that will last up to three weeks in your refrigerator. But one taste may have you licking your lips so enthusiastically that you’ll be making more
much sooner than that! SPICY MIXED FRUIT CHUTNEY Makes about 4 cups (1 L) 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/8-inch (3-mm) dice 1 jalapeno chile, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/8-inch (3-mm) dice 1 large red onion, cut into 1/8-inch (3-mm) dice 1/4 cup (60 mL) plus 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar 1 tablespoon finely diced, 1/8 inch (3 mm), fresh ginger 1 large garlic clove, cut into 1/8-inch (3 mm) dice 1/2 cup (125 mL) dried currants 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 3/4 cup (185 ml) Champagne vinegar 1 pound (500 g) apples (about 2 medium), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/8-inch (3-mm) dice 1 pound (500 g) mangos (about 2 medium to large), peeled, fruit sliced from the pit and cut into 1/8-inch (3-mm) dice; or peeled and diced nectarines, peaches, or other stone fruit in season 1/2 pound (250 g) pears (about 1 large pear), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/8-inch dice In a large stainless-steel or enamel saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Stir in the red pepper, jalapeno, onion, 2 teaspoons of the brown sugar, the ginger and the garlic. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the currants, remaining brown sugar, mustard, cayenne, turmeric, salt and vinegar. Continue cooking for 10 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Stir in the apples and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the mangos or stone fruit and the pear. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until all the fruit is tender, 5 to 7 minutes longer. Scoop up a small spoonful of the chutney mixture and taste it. If necessary, stir in a little more salt or sugar, the smallest pinches of any of the other spices, or a splash more of vinegar to adjust the balance of flavors to your liking. Remove the pan from the stove, and leave the chutney to cool to room temperature. Then transfer it to one or two nonreactive containers, cover and refrigerate until needed. Serve with grilled or roasted meat, poultry or seafood. The chutney will keep in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
