Town Considers Requiring Measles Vaccine For Programs
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Fueled by the precedent of New York City requiring vaccines, Toms River might require proof of immunization as a condition for children to attend recreation programs. There are about 600 children who use programs, Mayor Thomas Kelaher said, and their safety is paramount. He asked that the Township Council place this issue on a future agenda. The County Department of Health reported 33 associated cases last year (30 in Ocean, three in Passaic County); and 12 associated cases this year (eight in Ocean, four in Monmouth). They also issued warnings about locations where people could have come in contact with a carrier of the disease. New York has a much worse problem with measles than Ocean County. One news agency reported hundreds of cases in New York City alone. Officials warned of “measles parties,” where parents would bring unvaccinated children together with a sick child. The intention is that the child would pick up the disease, and fight it off naturally and gain natural immunity. The city has declared this a public health emergency, and (Measles - See Page 5)
Experts: These Are The Barriers To Solving Opioid Crisis
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A Town Hall-style 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 (Opioids - See Page 5)

Continued From Page 1 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,” 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. And of course, you can always provide a monetary donation online at fosocas.org/ product/donation/ or in one of the FOSOCAS’ coin boxes. “The donations we receive are used to purchase shelter equipment and provide supplementary medical/veterinary care to ensure high standards for the care and housing of pets,” stated their site. Coin boxes can be found all over various locations in southern Ocean County. Make a difference with your spare change! In addition to the traditional methods of donating time or money, Ocean County SPCA is taking advantage of the online shopping world to raise funds for their Save A Rescue animal charity. You can donate 0.5 percent of your online purchase to Save A Rescue when shopping on Amazon Smile by choosing them as your designated charity. Lastly, the Associated Humane Societies of 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. To view the full wish list, visit ahscares.org. Here’s a quick reference guide to some of the animal centers in the area: (Animals- See Page 5)

as such, has required people living in certain zip codes to be vaccinated. Measles is passed through air when someone coughs or sneezes. Symptoms include high fever, cough, rash, runny and red nose, and water eyes. Complications such as pneumonia or encephalitis can develop in more severe cases. Pregnant women who develop measles can miscarry, go into premature labor or deliver a low-birth-weight baby. Health officials urge everyone healthy enough to be vaccinated to ensure they are up-to-date on vaccines. Two doses of the MMR vaccine are needed, with an incubation time of 21 days, before a person is considered immune. “We urge everyone to check to make sure they and their family members are up-to-date on measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine and all other age-appropriate immunizations. Getting vaccinated not only protects you, it protects others around you who are too young to get the vaccine or can’t receive it for medical reasons. If you’re planning an international trip, the World Health Organization recommends that adults or adolescents unsure of their immune status get a dose of measles vaccine before traveling,” state epidemiologist. Dr. Christina Tan said. “Two doses of measles vaccine are about 97 percent effective in preventing measles.” Anyone who believes they may have been exposed should reach out to their primary care physician and make arrangements to be seen, ensuring to not infect others.
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 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 (Opioids - See Page 8)

Continued From Page 5 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 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:

D-Day:
Continued From Page 5 enemy, and disable their heavy artillery guns. It sounds almost mission impossible. But the mission was accomplished - and a man from the Jersey shore led the way. It was the mission of the U.S. Army Rangers along the coast of France and it was critical to the Allies’ success on D-Day. And that man was Leonard G. “Bud” Lomell of Point Pleasant Beach and later Toms River, New Jersey. The Allied Plan D-Day - June 6, 1944 - the invasion of Normandy was 75 years ago. It was the turning point of the Second World War. Success was imperative: there was no backup plan. If the invasion had failed, the war may have gone on indefinitely, or ended in a very different - perhaps, ominous - way. The Allied objective was simple. In orders to the soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force from the Supreme Commander, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower: “You will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed people of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.” The goal was simple; the execution complex. It was, in British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s words, “the most difficult and complicated operation ever to take place.” Five beaches along a 60-mile stretch on the French coast would be attacked, Hitler’s vaunted “Atlantic Wall” was to be breached, and the Allies would move inland. Two of those beaches - assigned to the Americans - code named “Omaha” and “Utah” lay in the western sector on the invasion front. Between these two beaches was a windswept promontory known as Pointe du Hoc. It was heavily defended by the Germans and fortified (so the Allies thought) by 155 mm guns which could rain devastating artillery fire on the landing beaches and ships in the English Channel. This pointe had to be taken and the guns neutralized before the landings began. If the beaches at Omaha and Utah were not successfully taken, success on D-Day would be imperiled - as the British and Canadian beaches to the east would be isolated. The counterattacking Germans would then divide and conquer and D-Day might fail. The Army Rangers The task of taking out the guns was assigned to America’s Army Rangers - an elite fighting force. The first Rangers unit in World War II, the First Battalion, was formed in 1942 in Northern Ireland. About 2,000 men had volunteered to join, but after vigorous testing, only 500 would form the battalion of six companies known as Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, Easy, and Fox, or A, B, C, D, E, and F. They trained with British commandos and fought with distinction in North Africa. Eisenhower, it was said, was “sold” on the Rangers. As a result of the First Battalion’s success, a handful of battle tested Rangers were sent (D-Day - See Page 22)

Bill Would Help Small Businesses Overcome Red Tape
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) and Senator Jeanne Shaheen (NH) introduced the Small Business Regulatory Relief Act, a bill that will help small businesses navigate excessive red tape and help them grow and create jobs. “Small business owners face enough challenges every day, it’s up to Congress to help clear their path so they can
grow and create jobs,” said Congressman Kim. “The Ombudsman’s office 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 efforts to help small business owners
navigate federal regulations. The SBA’s Office of the National Ombudsman was created in 1996 to help small businesses overcome excessive or unfair regulatory enforcement actions by federal agencies. 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 River. “Congressman 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.” Congressman Kim 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 member of the Senate 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 in Essex County, the State’s complaint accuses the Sackler defendants of seeking to become unimaginably rich by deceptively promoting their company’s opioid pain medications as rarely addictive, seeking to flood the market with Purdue’s opioid pain products by encouraging risky prescribing practices, and by targeting vulnerable new patient populations such as the elderly. Specifically, the complaint alleges that each Sackler de-
fendant named in the lawsuit helped direct and took part 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. “The Sackler family 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 painkillers, campaigns that were dutifully carried out by a small army of the company’s employees. Our communities are still reeling from the epidemic of addiction and overdose deaths caused by their misconduct.”
NEED AN EMERGENCY HOME REPAIR? WE’RE HERE TO HELP AT NO CHARGE
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 Directors 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 complaint asserts, and the 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 undertreated 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 medications including 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 three counts of violating the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and one count of violating the State’s False Claims Act. The complaint seeks monetary damages for false claims, maximum statutory penalties
under 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 treatment 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 Medicaid program between 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.

TOMS RIVER – In its 34th year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company announced Karina Gaskins of Donovan Catholic High School as its 2018-19 Gatorade New Jersey Softball Player of the Year. Gaskins is the first Gatorade New Jersey Softball Player of the Year to be chosen from Donovan Catholic High School. The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Gaskins as New Jersey’s best high school softball player. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Softball Player of the Year award to be announced in June, Gaskins joins an elite alumni association of past state softball award-winners, including Catherine Osterman (2000-01, Cy Spring High School, Texas), Kelsey Stewart (2009-10, Arkansas City High School, Kan.), Carley Hoover (201213 D.W. Daniel High School, S.C.), Jenna Lilley (2012-13, Hoover High School, Ohio), Morgan Zerkle (2012-13 Cabell Midland High School, W. Va.), and Rachel Garcia (2014-15, Highland High School, Calif.). The 5-foot-7 junior and first baseman had led the Griffins to a 24-1 record at the time of her selection. Gaskins batted .682 with 17 home runs, 48 RBI and 46 runs scored through 25 games. She owned an onbase percentage of .720 and a slugging percentage of 1.637. A National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-American, Gaskins was also a First Team AllState selection and the NJ.Com Player of the Year. Gaskins has volunteered locally on behalf of Operation Smile and youth softball programs. “Karina Gaskins is scary—just a big-time hitter,” said Rob Stern, head coach at Mount. St. Dominic Academy. “Every time she swings the bat, you hold your breath. She can hit the ball out of the park no matter where you pitch her.” Gaskins has maintained an A average in the classroom. She will begin her senior year of high school this fall. The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer,

From the 12 national winners, one male and one female athlete are each named Gatorade High School Athlete of the Year. In all, 607 athletes are honored each year. Gaskins joins recent Gatorade New Jersey Softball Players of the Year Victoria Sebastian (2017-18, Ramsey High School), Julie Rodriguez (2016-17, Northern Valley Regional High School at Old Tappan), Kelsey Oh (2015-16 & 2014-15, Mount Saint Dominic Academy), and Steph Thomas (2013-14, Immaculate Heart Academy) among the state’s list of former award winners. As a part of Gatorade’s cause marketing platform “Play it Forward,” Gaskins also has the opportunity to award a $1,000 grant to a local or national youth sports organization of her choosing. She is also eligible to submit an essay to win one of twelve $10,000 spotlight grants for the organization of choice, which will be announced throughout the year. Since the program’s inception in 1985, Gatorade Player of the Year award recipients have won hundreds of professional and college championships, and many have also turned into pillars in their communities, becoming coaches, business owners and educators.

—Photo courtesy Toms River Township TOMS RIVER – Mayor Kelaher and the Governing Body recently recognized the Toms River Police Department. The Police Department was presented two proclamations; one for National Police Week and one for their participation in the Police Unity Tour. National Police Week was designated in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy, who signed a proclamation which designated May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Currently, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from around the world converge on Washington, DC to participate in a number of planned events which honor those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice. The Department also received a proclamation for their annual participation in the Police Unity Tour. 12 members of the force made the ride to Washington, DC this year. Toms River PBA Local 137 received the PBA Local of the Year Award for their efforts in fundraising for the Polar Bear Plunge for Special Olympics NJ this year, among other fundraising events. There were also retirements, promotions and
several awards presented; which included: • Retirement: Detective Randy Petrick #235 • Retirement: Detective Kevin Scully #246 • Hiring: Officer Alexander Van Lew #441 • Promotion to Detective: Detective Ryan Quinn #361 • Promotion to Detective: Detective Theodore Malony #359 • Promotion to Sergeant: Sergeant Michael Gallipoli #311 Presentation of Awards: • Class C Award Det.

—Photo courtesy Toms River Township TOMS RIVER – The American Legion Family launched National Poppy Day on May 24 as a way to honor US service-members, from the battlefields of France in WWI a century ago to today’s global war on terrorism. After World War I, the poppy flourished in Europe and quickly became a symbol of the sacrifices made by Americans and allied service-members around the world. Soldiers returning from WWI brought home the flowers in memory of the barren landscape transformed by the sudden growth of wild red poppies among the newly dug graves — unforgettably described in a memorial poem by Canadian Lt. Col. John McCrae: If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields. National Poppy Day broadens a tradition that dates back to the American Legion Auxiliary’s first National Convention in the early 1920s when the red poppy was adopted as The American Legion Family’s memorial flower. Today, it remains an iconic symbol of honor for the sacrifice of our veterans. ALA members distribute millions of poppies annually across the country in exchange for donations that go directly to assist disabled and hospitalized veterans in our communities. The American Legion Auxiliary Post 129 received a proclamation from the Mayor and Governing Body at a recent Council Meeting.

To tape Thomas Lanza, Supervisor of Instruction, to the wall, of course. Students were thrilled to see their investment reap immediate benefits, as Mr.
Lanza did indeed stick to the wall. It did, however, take a significant amount of tape which, in turn, helped make it a very successful-- and fun!-- fundraiser for the school. Kudos to Mr. Lanza for being a good sport.

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.

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 of insurance or PIP coverage.
Robert C. Shea Esq.
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!

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 en-
amored 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.

D-Day:
Continued From Page 8 back to the States to help train the newly created Second and Fifth Battalions. In 1943, the Rangers trained in Tennessee and the Second Battalion was shipped off first to Ft. Dix, New Jersey and then, later, England. Overseas, they continued training - including, importantly, the art of cliff climbing. “These Are The Boys Of Pointe Du Hoc” The Germans considered Pointe du Hoc impregnable. In the 18-mile gap from Omaha to Utah Beaches, it was located in-between and was protected from the sea by the cliffs. Inland, the land was flat and protected by barbed wire and cement fortifications. It was the Germans’ strongest held position along the invasion front. Rangers of the Second Battalion approached by sea in landing crafts, but they went off course and were delayed by 40 critical minutes. With supporting naval gun fire ending at the assigned time of 6:30 a.m. - H-Hour - this gave the Germans time to regroup from the bombardment. Nine landing craft loaded with men landed at the cliff seawall at 7:10 a.m. In 20 minutes, which must have seemed like a lifetime, the Rangers climbed the cliffs using rocket fired ropes with grappling hooks and extension ladders. Some were able to scramble up the face of the cliff from the rubble from the naval bombardment. Sgt. Lomell was one of the first to scale the cliffs. Lomell, a Point Pleasant Beach native, like all Rangers, was a volunteer. He had enlisted in the Army following college. He was the adopted son of immigrant parents from Scandinavia who lived in New York. They moved to the Jersey shore and the family struggled through the Depression. Three years after enlisting, he was about to participate in the greatest amphibious landing in the history of mankind. Off loaded from his landing craft, Lomell had to first swim about 20 feet to the shale beach and was slightly wounded by a machine gun bullet. Getting up the cliff had somehow been accomplished - but the attacking force of 225 men was already reduced to about 200. Once on the flatland, the Rangers found it in utter destruction. Moonlike craters (from the bombings) and debris everywhere. Some cement structures were still intact, while others were left to rubble. But, the artillery guns! There were no guns! Where were the guns? The Germans had cleverly placed timbers and wooden beams sticking out of their cement casemates to make it appear to aerial reconnaissance that the guns were positioned at the Pointe. As the Rangers moved inland, they met one of their other objectives - block a coastal highway that connected Omaha and Utah Beaches. That would help impede any German counterattack along the front. But where were the guns? After helping secure the road with some of his D Company men, Lomell and Staff Sgt. Jack Kuhn followed a path of deep tire tracks along a dirt lane - further inland.
About 250 yards from the blocked highway, Lomell found the guns. “Jack, here they are. We’ve found ‘em. Here’s the God-damned guns.” The guns, camouflaged in an apple orchard, were pointed in the direction of Utah Beach and were ready to fire. There they were - five 155 mm guns! Unbelievably, they were left un-attended, as the Germans were about 100 yards away, confused and re-organizing in the fog of war. Using his gun butt, Lomell bashed the sites on all five guns. Two guns were further disabled using silent, thermite grenades which melted the turning mechanisms. Lomell ran back to the Rangers on the roadway, got more grenades, and destroyed the remaining three guns. The guns were rendered inoperable - mission accomplished! It was 9 a.m. It was the first successful United States’ military mission on D-Day. Of this feat, the esteemed World War II historian, Stephen Ambrose recognized Bud Lomell as the single individual - other than Dwight Eisenhower - as most responsible for the Allied success on D-Day. But the fighting was not over for the Rangers. They were now on the defensive and had taken heavy casualties. On the afternoon of June 6th, they signaled for ammunition and reinforcements. There would be none for 48 hours. The Rangers were isolated and fought off German counter attacks. When finally relieved, they were down to a fighting force of just 50 men. But they had gained back a toe hold of freedom. As President Reagan said at 40th anniversary ceremonies, “these are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent.” For Bud Lomell, he would be wounded several times more in the war and receive a battlefield promotion to Second Lieutenant. More than once, he told this writer that what he experienced in taking “Hill 400” in Germany in December 1944, just before the Battle of the Bulge, was more dangerous and life threatening than D-Day. Perhaps this was Bud’s simple modesty. One Of The Greatest Men Of The Greatest Generation As we look back on 75 years ago: If the 20th century was the “American century” - and it was; And if the seminal event of that century was the Second World War - and it was; And if the turning point of that war was D-Day, the invasion of Normandy - and it was; And if the turning point of that invasion was the struggle at Omaha and Utah beaches - and it was; And if that struggle depended upon military success between those beaches at a windswept coastal point - and it was; And if what Bud Lomell did at that Pointe in disabling those guns turned the tide of battle - and it was; Then - think about it: here was a man from the Jersey shore who stood in the middle of the 20th century, the American century, and turned history for the better - for freedom and democracy.

Children’s Summer Art Classes
TOMS RIVER – Children’s’ Summer Art Classes will be held at the Ocean County Artists Guild. Each week will demonstrate a different themed project. Cost is $140 per session for seven weeks.
Sessions start: June 25 and June 26. Two sessions per day: 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m.; and 1 -2:30 p.m. Walk-ins accepted, $20 per session per student.
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Department of Health is looking to open up over 100 more Alternative Treatment Centers (ATC) to expand access to medical marijuana for residents. The department is looking for applicants to operate 108 more ATCs: 38 in the northern region of the state, up to 38 in the central region, and up to 32 in the southern region. Endorsements for cultivation, manufacturing and dispensary will be available. The department is looking for up to 24 cultivation endorsements, up to 30 manufacturing endorsements, and up to 54 dispensary endorsements. “We are at a point where patients just cannot wait any longer for easily accessible, affordable therapy. This request for applications allows for specialization of businesses to increase medical product in our state,” said New Jersey Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal. “In addition, by allowing for three sizes of cultivation endorsements (5,000 square feet, 20,000 square feet and 30,000 square feet), we are increasing opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses to participate in the program.” Applications for ATCs will be assessed based on the needs for each region, patient
need, and the general population of the state and its regions. With the addition of five new illnesses in March 2018 to the list of medical conditions that qualify patients for medical marijuana, as well as the addition of Opioid Use Disorder in January 2019, the state’s medical marijuana program has expanded greatly. Since the addition of those conditions, the program has added 30,000 new patients, bringing the total patient count to 47,500. Request for Applications (RFA) can be found on the NJ Department of Health website. Permit application forms for ATCs will be available at nj.gov/health/medicalmarijuana on July 1. Applications are due August 15. The length of time required to review applications and the timeline for announcing awards will depend on the volume of applications received. A pre-application webinar will be held on July 16 to review the RFA process. You can submit written questions up to July 5 to be reviewed at the webinar. Following the webinar, the Department will post a set of Frequently Asked Questions and responses to those questions. The six currently operating ATCs and awardees from the July 2018 RFA are also eligible to participate in this application process.

Election:
Continued From Page 1 County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato and his team for the primary. He was being challenged by Hill and Councilman Daniel Rodrick. Current Mayor Thomas Kelaher is not running for re-election. Hill received 3,057 votes and the right to represent the Republicans in November. Coronato won 2,546 votes. Rodrick won 1,836 votes. Coronato issued a statement after the votes were tallied: “I congratulate Mo Hill and his team on a strong race. Now it’s time to set aside our differences, come together as a party, and ensure that Republican leadership continues to guide Toms River into the future.” “I wish Mo well. We all want what’s best for Toms River,” Rodrick said. Hill was not available to speak immediately after the election. The three camps fought publicly during the weeks leading up to the election, sparring in public meetings, mailers, and a live debate. Now that the Republicans’ fight is over, there will be a campaign leading to the general election in November. Council Election There are three council seats up in November. Each mayoral candidate had a team, and there was one resident running solo. Hill’s council slate all won the primary election, and a place on the ballot in November. The votes for council members, listed in the
order they were on the Ocean County Clerk’s website, is as follows: • Christian Momm (ran with Coronato): 2,425 • Ginny Rhine (ran with Coronato): 2,422 • John Meehan (ran with Coronato): 2,349 • Heather Barone (ran solo): 945 • Ken Londregin (ran with Rodrick): 1,582 • George Lobman (ran with Rodrick): 1,604 • Justin Lamb (ran with Rodrick): 1,647 • Matt Lotano (ran with Hill): 2,661 • Josh Kopp (ran with Hill): 2,720 • Kevin Geoghegan (ran with Hill): 2,638 There were five write-in votes for mayor and 12 write-in votes for council. These results have not yet been verified by the county. Democrats Meanwhile, Jonathan Petro ran unopposed to represent the Democrats in November. He won 1,489 votes in the primary. There were 33 write-ins. The council slate for the Democrats include Board of Education member and former principal Michele Williams (1,393 votes), attorney Karin K. Sage (1,351 votes), and teacher Drew Boyle (1,388 votes). There were 52 write-ins. Petro issued a statement which made it clear that there’s not going to be too much of a rest until the race for November. It read, in part: “Tonight, I was happy to have the opportunity to personally congratulate Councilman Hill on his success in his primary. I know we will disagree often in the campaign season ahead, as we turn away from failed policies and failures of leadership that have changed the town that I love.”

Serving the Toms River Area Since 1973! GETTING UNDER YOUR SKIN
The most common type of the inflammatory skin condition known as psoriasis is “plaque” psoriasis, which produces patches of raised, reddish skin covered by silverywhite scales. These plaques most often form on the elbows, knees, lower back, and scalp, although they may appear anywhere on the body. This uncomfortable skin condition is also frequently associated with severe itching and cracked and bleeding skin. While treatment often includes the use of topical steroid creams, there are multiple systemic options for treatment. Adalimumab (Humira) is a tumor necrosis factor blocker for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. This injected drug is approved for use in adult patients who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy and when other systemic therapies are less medically appropriate. If over-the counter remedies aren’t helping your uncomfortable condition, we invite you to experience the results professional dermatological care can bring. We offer treatment options that can improve both the appearance and health of your skin. P.S. “Tumor necrosis factor” (TNF) is a cell-signaling protein (cytokine) that is involved in systemic inflammation. Adalimumab (Humira) works by blocking its action.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee
By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides. Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology.
After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the office, often during your initial visit! “We’re very conservative,” Dr. Amoss assures future patients. “I’m surgically trained but I only like to perform surgery when all other conservative means
One of Advanced Foot & Ankle locations is 601 Route 37 West, Suite 300 in Toms River (in front of the Ocean Eye Institute)
have been exhausted. It’s going to be painless.” He makes that possible by developing treatment plans for each specific patient. Rest assured, Advanced Foot & Ankle is fully equipped to do so as soon as you come in. Both offices have digital X-rays so they can almost instantly see what’s going on and review it with the patient. They also have a diagnostic ultrasound to diagnose soft tissue conditions, as well as a laser for treatment of pain and neuropathy, a painful nerve condition caused by diabetes and other issues. They even offer MicroVas therapy, which gives much needed relief to patients with high levels of diabetic neuropathy, as well as vascular or PAD testing. In addition to the most cutting edge podiatric technology, Advanced Foot & Ankle has professional-grade consumer products you need for immediate relief. They offer a great selection of diabetic shoes, for example, One of Advanced Foot & Ankle locations is 601 Route 37 West, as well as custom - made 400 Lacey Road in Whiting (in the Stop and Shop Shopping orthotics which provide arch Center) support and help correct the
imbalance in patients’ feet. Advanced Foot & Ankle accepts most insurance plans. (Medicare covers one pair of diabetic shoes per year!) By having strategically-located offices, an experienced and focused staff, and tons of treatment methods and equipment at his disposal, Dr. Amoss is able to easily achieve his goal of getting you fast comfort and relief. When it comes to diseases like melanoma, for example, speed is absolutely critical. The most deadly form of skin cancer, melanoma has an especially poor prognosis on the foot because it often goes unnoticed for a long time. Dr. Amoss diagnosed several of these cases last year, which probably saved those patients’ lives. But sometimes conditions aren’t as complicated as much as some of the larger podiatrist offices try to let on. Dr. Amoss remembers one recent patient who came in after being with one such practice. “These eight doctors had exhausted all treatment options for this individual in pain,” he said. After years of getting the runaround, they told him there was noth-
ing they could do. The patient came limping into Advanced Foot & Ankle with what Dr. Amoss diagnosed in a matter of minutes as a simple corn on the tip of his toe. “We gave him a customized foot pad which helped him tremendously, and by the next day he came in to thank us and tell us how much better he was doing,” Dr. Amoss said. “He couldn’t believe he waited and wasted several years with this other group of doctors.” At Advanced Foot & Ankle, you’ll get fast and customized treatment from a doctor you can trust. Give them a call today at 732-350-0100 and their very accommodating staff will be able to make an appointment for you with Dr. Amoss right away. And as the “urgent care of the lower extremity,” emergency app oint ment s are also available. Advanced Foot & Ankle is located at 400 Lacey Road in Whiting (in the Stop and Shop Shopping Center) and 601 Route 37 West, Suite 300 in Toms River (in front of the Ocean Eye Institute).

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.

Serve with grilled or roasted meat, poultry or seafood. The chutney will keep in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
