By Bob Vosseller BERKELEY – Thousands of Sailors and Marines serving with the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group returned home this week and one of them got a royal homecoming reception by his family. Township resident Jimmy Sirotniak, 23, a member of the U.S. Navy was deployed the week before Christmas and since that time has served on the USS Arlington, which was assigned to patrol the area to show a U.S. presence during the continued tensions in that area involving Iran. Sirotniak joined the Navy a little over three years ago and holds the rank of operations specialist 2nd Class. “I went out to sea around December and was there until mid-July,” Sirotniak said. He had shifts of eight hours on and eight hours off. Some of his duties included tracking aircraft and watching radar. “It’s not too bad, fi rst eight hours is for sleeping and then you do maintenance and play some video games.” His family welcomed him home Aug. 4 with the special gathering that had been planned.

By Jennifer Peacock POINT PLEASANT BEACH – The crowd gathered at the ocean near Water Street drew attention from walkers on the boardwalk. “Excuse me, miss. W hat is happen i ng down there?” a man, walking with his wife on t he b oa rdwa l k , stopped to ask. “They’re releasing a rehabbed sea turtle today. You are welcome to come watch if you’d like.” “Oh, interesting,” he said. He and his wife (Turtle - See Page 4)

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Officials say the town is getting hurt for doing the right thing. There’s a state law which decrees that 100 percent disabled veterans may qualify for an exemption to paying property taxes. For most towns, this is not a big issue. In Berkeley, where there are large senior com mu nities, this adds up. Every so often, the
Township Council sends a resolution to the state urging them to be reimbursed for this program. The refrain is always the same: They have no problem rewarding veterans who have sacrificed a great deal for their country. The problem is that this creates a budget hole that has to be filled. T h e y wo u ld l i ke Trenton to reimburse them for the amount (Vets - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 kept walking. It’s a little before 7:30 a.m. July 30. At least 200 people were waiting to see Vesper, the 5-pound juvenile Kemp’s Ridley - the most endangered of all sea turtles - be released back into the ocean after recovering at the Essex County Turtle Back Zoo, Sea Turtle Recovery (STR), in West Orange. He or she is the 41st turtle STR has released since starting 2 years ago. “We don’t actually know if Vesper is a boy or a girl. He’s too young to tell without some extensive testing that doesn’t change how we would treat his illness, so it’s not something we would put the turtle through,” STR co-executive Bill Deerr said. Kemp’s Ridleys nest in Texas or Mexico and migrate north in the warmer months to feed before heading south again. Vesper was found in Cape Cod and taken to the Sea Turtle Rescue at the New England Aquarium in Boston. Often, when that hospital fi nds itself overcrowded, they will send turtles down to STR.
Vesper was found cold-stunned, “a condition in which the sea turtle’s body systems begin to shut down if the animal failed to migrate before water temperatures became too cold. It also was diagnosed with an impaction of swallowed sand, a severe ear infection, and pneumonia, all of which are now cured,” a July 29 STR statement said. Indeed, such turtles are released only June through September at the Jersey Shore, where ocean temperatures are safe for turtles to return to. Vesper was carried by an STR volunteer down the beach to just before the hightide mark, and then gently placed on the sand before it started making his way to the water. A large wave crashed in shortly after, and Vesper disappeared in the surf to an eruption of applause from onlookers. If Vesper is male and stays healthy, “we hope to never hear from him again,” Deerr said. “You should never see a sea turtle on the beach. So, if he washes up again, that means he’s sick.” But if Vesper is female, “then yes, we defi nitely want to see those tag hits come back once she’s nesting, probably in an-
other 10 years or so.” According to National Geographic, Kemp’s Ridley turtles have an average life span of 50 years in the wild. They’ll grow to 2 feet and 100 pounds. Females, sexually mature at around age 12, nest every 1 to 3 years. Deerr and co-executive Brandi Biehl founded the nonprofit STR in 2014, and with the help of generous corporate donors, opened their 4,000-square-foot care facility at Essex County Turtle Back Zoo in 2016. They remain an independent nonprofit with two full-time staffers, a part-time veterinarian, and volunteers. “All the sea turtles in the world are either threatened or endangered,” Deerr said. “The species we released today is critically endangered. There aren’t many of those left in the world today. Deerr continued: “The vast majority of the effects that are affecting their population are human caused. You have poaching, fishing interactions, beach development, all those things come in to play in taking away their nesting habitat. Activities on the water can impact them as well. Pollution is a huge issue. I know

everybody talks about it all the time, but we see turtles with plastic ingestion on a regular basis. It’s not a rare thing.” And, turtles get sick like everyone else. They treat turtles with respiratory infections and cold-stun, the illness that brought Vesper to them, and illnesses that set in after that. Depending on the type and severity of the problem, turtles have stayed at STR from 3 months to 15 months, though Deerr knows of cases where turtles have had to stay in other hospitals for 4 years before being released. To continue their work, STR does depend on donations. Anyone interested in donating can visit seaturtlerecovery.org for more information. Day to day, Deerr said people can help by putting trash where it belongs (hint: not the ocean), recycling and reducing their consumption of single-use plastics. “It really is something simple that people can do. It’s just a matter of changing your habits, and you can make those changes in your day-to-day life and it has a huge impact on our environment, not just sea turtles.”

Continued From Page 1 of money that the veterans are saving. “We support all of our veterans. It’s a great program,” Mayor Carmen Amato said. “The state of New Jersey has a state mandate they are not funding.” The township provided statistics on how many disabled veterans are in the township and how it impacts the taxes: There are currently 279 properties that are exempt from taxation due to them being owned by a 100 percent disabled veteran. If you add the property values of all of these homes together, it amounts to $54,825,500. Multiplying this by the tax rate, 2.167, totals $1,188,068.59. This means that there is $1,188,068.59 that has to be raised by other residents. Berkeley officials have asked Trenton to reimburse them for this money. The Berkeley Times reached out to state representatives for a reply to this resolution, but did not receive one as of press time.

They get you ready for your return through an integration program. I’m not married and I don’t have any kids so I integrated back very well,” Sirotniak said. The sailor added that the ship traveled through areas off the Mediterranean. “We sat off the coast of Libya and traveled through five different countries. We pulled into Spain twice, Cicely, Malta and Tunisia which is in north Africa. Boy those seas were rough. You are right out in open water but we overcame it,” Sirotniak said. “I signed up for the early bird program and got leave with some of the Marines and other amphibious guys when we reached Northfolk, Virginia. We had to stand duty in order to do that. We pulled in on July 15 and I got a hotel. My mom, stepdad and sister were the first people I saw.” He later met up with his father and brother who is one year his junior when he got back to New Jersey. As to the big party that his family planned it wasn’t a total surprise but it did feature some surprises.

Tips And Resources When Negative Feelings Become Severe
NEW JERSEY – According to the American Psychological Association approximately one quarter of Americans report extreme stress at holiday time. Here are some simple steps that people can take to help remain calm, re-focus and enjoy the essence of this time of year: Prioritize schedules to include some of the activities that persons enjoy the most whether that be baking cookies or reading a meditation book. Incorporate others into activities; this could include asking everyone to bring a dish instead of taking on the burden of cooking a whole dinner, or asking a friend to join in shopping. Take some time each day to be mindful of surroundings, such as a walk in the brisk air or enjoying nature. Persons should allow themselves to remain present in the moment and enjoy the here and now. Try not to think ahead or about any “to do lists.” Take a break by making time for enjoyable activities unrelated to the holidays. People who feel overwhelmed should not hesitate to seek professional help. When does holiday hustle and bustle amount to too much stress? What can be done about it? Mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, are real, common and treatable. Recovery is possible. Not everyone thinks about their emotional well-being enough, especially during the busy holiday season. The Mental Health Association in New Jersey’s Call Center answers over 32,000 calls annually, integrating professional and peer services to offer counseling, information and referral and emotional support.

Mascara is not the only entity that can cause eyelashes to clump and stick together. “Blepharitis,” caused by inflammation around the base of the eyelashes, also causes redness and stickiness of the eyelid, along with clumping of scaly skin around the base of the eyelashes. This condition is not caused by poor hygiene, can affect anyone of any age, and can be either acute or chronic. The underlying causes of chronic adult blepharitis are not well understood. Treatments for severe blepharitis include “electrochemical lid margin debridement” (which clears any mites, bacteria, and their biofilm from the eyelids); “intense pulse light therapy” (to open clogged eyelid glands); or antibiotics. Treatment objectives are to relieve symptoms, but cannot cure the condition. The best way to avoid blepharitis or keep it from returning is to clean your eyelids daily to prevent the buildup of bacteria and mites. Blepharitis is oftenassociated with skin conditions, such as ocular rosacea, eczema, dandruff and psoriasis. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, our experienced physicians and knowledgeable staff are dedicated to providing you with the very best in patient care, focusing on Lasik, cataract surgery, and premium intraocular lens implants, diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, pediatric ophthalmology, and total eye care.

What is HCBEMS?
By Phyllis Brown When I mention HCBEMS, Holiday City at Berkley Emergency Medical Service, people will come up to be and say I have a question. You’ve heard the definition of crazy as doing the same thing over and over, always getting the same result but expecting a different outcome. Well, call me crazy. I go places and mention the HCBEMS over and over asking for volunteers. I always get people who have a question. The question is always about a bill they got from MONOC or the Township EMS. I always expect it to be “How can I join and what do I have to do?” I am always willing to answer this question and give help with information about handling the bill and why they got one. I am always disappointed they didn’t ask to volunteer. Yep. Now you know me. Crazy! The billing inquiries are important. I am happy to help and I will devote next month’s column to bills for EMS services. This month I would like to let you know that you never get a bill from your HCBEMS. If you need us call 9-1-1 and we will be dispatched. We are all volunteers, mostly your neighbors but we do have a few volunteers who come from outside the Holiday Cities and Silver Ridges. Although some volunteers have had careers in a medical or EMS field, most of us did not. We are bus drivers, artist, bankers and other non-medical people who would like to help. There is no previous experience necessary. Don’t worry when we come to help you. We
do know what we’re doing. The first thing we got was a shirt so we look official. The second was a CPR course and certification from the state of NJ. Then we are allowed to ride on the ambulance, touch the equipment and even talk to the patient as long as you don’t give medical advice, talk about your or your relative’s similar experience or tell them they will be ok unless you know that for sure. Every time we work there is about half hour to an hour of training on equipment or medical emergencies including discussions about our cases, what we did and could we have done something differently or more efficiently. But of course, we train you to be perfect. The people were nice, but the hours (12 hour shift) and pay (zero) are terrible. That’s not why we’re here. We work only one day a week but the hours are 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. But it is only ONE day a week and NO Saturdays or Sundays. We are usually busy but when we are not, there is time for breakfast and lunch, and time for a card game. Maybe you’d prefer to keep reading that book you started at home. Don’t expect to get far. If you can, join us. If you can’t, please know that we are here for you. We are trained every day so we can help you. We answer 9-1-1 calls. All are important: heart and stroke emergencies to lift assists, usually arrive so fast that patients have said, “Were you at the corner? I just hung up from 9-1-1”. Live long and prosper.

OCEAN COUNTY –Leaders of the Barnegat Branch Rail Trail Alliance (formerly Lacey RailTrail Environmental Committee) announced a revived effort and more proactive focus for the preservation organization. Long known for their advocacy to preserve a 15+ mile nature trail from roadway development, the group continues to forge ahead despite a court defeat and continued conflict with a section of road developed by Lacey Township. The “Barnegat Branch Trail” is a 15+ mile linear Ocean County park created along an abandoned former railroad right-of-way, the Barnegat Branch of the Central Jersey Railroad of New Jersey. In addition to new leadership, the group announced an expanded geographic reformation and official name change. Although the majority of the 15+ mile former railbed turned rail trail is owned by Ocean County, 4 miles through Lacey Township at the center of the park, remains under the township’s ownership. For over twenty years, instead of preservation of the right of way, the majority of the governing body in Lacey pursued 2 miles of roadway development along it. During that same time, the Township was also pursuing excessive commercial development of big box stores such as Walmart and Home Depot adjacent to the rail trail. However, for almost just as long, the non-profit rail trail group was embroiled in a battle with local Lacey Township leaders to protect the county park from roadway development. In stark contrast to the leaders of Lacey Township, the rail trail group and its supporters instead fought to keep the rightof-way free of cars and preserved as a contiguous nature trail. The group focused on safety and quality of life issues for the trail and highlighted economic and environmental hardships of the road. The trail versus road saga kept the organization in full time advocacy mode on many levels: from New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) permits; to Route 9 New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) traffic studies; to local ballot referendum questions; to multiple court appeals, and more. In 2017, the fate of the road vs trail issue in Lacey was decided for a final time. The New Jersey Appellate Court issued a decision allowing the most recent NJDEP permit issuance challenged by the non-profit group to stand valid in allowing roadway development. “It was an unfortunate end to a very hard-fought battle”, said Helen Henderson, former Chair of the organization and now once again the group’s leader. “But it was time to let that issue rest and make a decision about the fate of the organization and how we might continue as friends of the trail and county park”. In recent years, Henderson had stepped down from the committee’s leadership but remained involved in the legal challenge. She stayed in close communication with the trail committee, and last summer when the group was considering disbanding, she stepped up and offered to join forces with enthusiastic “trail-huggers” in Barnegat and move the organization’s mission forward. “I believe local grassroots groups like this have tremendous power to make a difference in their community” said Henderson. She continued “I was aware that there is an entire trail neighborhood at ‘Mile 0’ in Barnegat, and that those residents
were ready to be proactive”, she said. “So here we are today, ready to move the organization forward. It’s very exciting”. The non-profit not only has new leadership but also has an official IRS name change to represent the expansion beyond primarily Lacey residents at the helm. The new name recognizes not only the trail, but an alliance to show that all those involved have shared interests that are not only related to the trail, but to their specific community along the 15-miles of the county park. Bonnie Harris is Barnegat resident and new member of the Alliance. “The Rail Trail Alliance is a group of committed individuals who are dedicated in assisting the county with the beautification of the trail”, she said. Christine Blake, the group’s treasurer is also leader of the trail “Beautification Committee”. “I’ve advocated for the environment since I was 8 years old when I saw a development going in next door to my childhood home in Point Pleasant. Living next to the rail trail is a true blessing to a nature lover like myself and I hope to attract more people to maintain and beautify the trail over the years”, she said. “The trail could always use a hand being kept clean and we’ll be looking for trail huggers to keep the 15+ miles of it pristine!” Christine holds a bachelor’s degree in science, majoring in biology from Monmouth University and is a member of the Union of Concerned Scientists. Brett Middaugh, the group’s vice-chair has a long history of being involved in “trails and dirt”. “The rail trail has a special place in my heart as I used to spend many summers vacationing in Waretown at my Grandmother’s house off Bryant Road, right down the street from the Waretown Trail Head” said Middaugh. “The trail actually cuts right in front of a shopping center in town that used to have a BMX track behind it”, he noted. “To know that I can in some small way help preserve an area that has provided so much to Ocean County over the years really means a lot to me. I hope to be able to get some events going that utilize the trail and perhaps even get interest from people to find an area near the trail to form a small “pump track” for kids and adults alike to have fun like we did years ago. Keep an eye on this organization and join us!” In addition to Beautification, current committee interests include environment; park amenities (such as bathrooms and benches); events and fundraising; and outreach and education (including the history of the Central Railroad of New Jersey). The organization is open to additional suggestions from those who are willing to chair a committee. The group is looking for volunteers and interested citizens all along the trail and beyond, including talent-based volunteers such as photographers, social media managers, or those with administrative expertise. “There are so many opportunities for people to get involved, or just support us and have a good time on the trail and at our future events”, said Middaugh. “Whether it’s general enthusiasm for the trail and what we represent, or maybe someone wants to be a leader for a specific committee or community along the trail, there is something for everyone. Hit us up!”, concluded Middaugh.

On May 1st, Miss Mindy’s Homemade Ice Cream celebrated one year of business to Bayville and surrounding communities. The store came to be after owner/ operator, Mindy D’Addario, left a 13+ year teaching career. Miss Mindy’s was a childhood dream that never went away. With the positive encouragement and support of her husband, daughters, parents, as well as extended family and friends, it became a reality. The most rewarding part of being a business owner Mindy says,
is “ being face to face with the community, talking with them, and making creative new flavors each week that receive such positive feedback from customers.” “Ice cream is so much more than a treat that tastes good. It stirs up memories and feelings of special moments shared with others.” It is the mission of Miss Mindy’s to be an establishment where people want to bring their family and friends to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life while putting a smile on their face.

County To Host Master Composter Training Program This Fall
By Kimberly Bosco LAKEWOOD – A Master Composter Training Program will be held this fall, hosted by the Ocean County’s Department of Solid Waste Management and the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. “This program provides attendees with the tools to be master composters and gives them the opportunity to teach others in their communities about the importance of composting,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gary Quinn. “We want to encourage our residents to sign up and take advantage of what this program has to offer.” The program will take place on two consecutive Saturdays, Sept. 14 and Sept. 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Recycling Education Center at the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center. The program is free to Ocean County residents and taxpayers. There is a $75 fee for non-residents. Each applicant is encouraged to be sponsored by a group or organization as this ensures the opportunity to establish an outreach network for the program. Many types of groups can sponsor an applicant including garden clubs, municipalities, environmental commissions, recycling committees, retirement communities or service clubs. The course is limited to 20 participants and the registration deadline is Aug. 26. For more information and to register, contact Sandra Blain-Snow, Recycling Program Aide, at 732-506-5047 or by email at sblain-snow@co.ocean.nj.us. Registration can also be completed online by filling out and submitting an application at co.ocean. nj.us/recycle and clicking on Composting. Select Master Composter Volunteers from
the drop down menu. Once you complete the Master Composter Training Program, you can assist with the county’s efforts in providing residents with information on managing the organic waste they produce in their homes and the benefits of composting. “Master composters have been doing a great job in volunteering their time to help
other Ocean County residents who are interested in composting,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines. “The Master Composter Program is a great way to learn about how to manage and reuse the organic waste that is generated in our own homes.” Trained volunteers agree to provide a total of 24 hours of outreach, education and
service to promote the benefits of home composting. They are encouraged to tailor their outreach activities to their individual strengths and preferences. “The environmental benefits of using compost are significant,” Quinn said. “It can help clean up contaminated soil, reduce runoff of toxic materials and improve your garden or lawn.”

Keeping You Informed: Over-the-Counter Devices
Residential Dementia & Alzheimer’s Community
With last summer’s passage of the Overthe-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017, you may wonder how it affects your health care. As an AudigyCertified™ practice, we consider patient education an important part of delivering excellent service, so count on us for timely news to support your hearing wellness. What does the law do? The legislation, part of the Food and Drug Administration Reauthorization Act, will allow the retail sale of hearing aids for adults with self-perceived mild to moderate hearing loss — without the crucial involvement of an audiologist or medical doctor. When will I see its impact? Over-thecounter (OTC) hearing technology is at most a few years from being publicly available until federal regulations for safety, labeling, and manufacturing are developed. What are the pros of this change? The law could help expand consumer access to hearing technology, motivate even more people to seek hearing help, and inspire more technical innovations that benefit patients. What are the cons? Access to hearing health care is vital, but the law unfortunately will enable self-treatment for a serious physical condition that trained, licensed professionals are more suited to evaluate, diagnose, and treat. Aren’t OTC hearing devices already available? You may be thinking of personal sound amplification products (PSAPs), which are wearable electronic devices used for activities such as bird-watching or TV-viewing to make a sound louder — not to take the place of properly fit hearing aids. What’s the difference between OTC devices and PSAPs? Currently available
PSAPs are neither FDA-approved nor recommended to treat actual hearing loss. OTC hearing technology will be FDA-regulated but won’t be available for a while. Once available on the market, will OTCs address my hearing needs? Hearing loss is often an inner-ear problem, but sometimes it’s a different issue such as earwax buildup, a foreign object in the ear canal, or an ear infection that may cause temporary hearing difficulty. A PSAP or OTC won’t tackle these types of underlying problems. What else should I know about OTCs? OTCs will address only mild to moderate hearing loss, and even then, noise processing will be far less than a traditional hearing aid. They won’t always offer a successful fit and may be less specific for your situation. What’s the benefit of choosing provider-fit hearing aids instead? Unlike OTCs and PSAPs, provider-fit hearing aids can address the full spectrum of hearing impairment from mild to profound. They’re already FDA-approved, are recommended to treat hearing loss, and can adjust to environmental variables such as background noise as well as help your brain process sound. Self-treating hearing loss might seem convenient, but it can do more harm than good. Professional care — including testing, programming, fitting, and follow-up — helps you get to the bottom of your hearing difficulties and secure the right solution for your communication needs. If you have questions about OTC hearing technology, signs and symptoms of hearing loss, or the dangers of self-treating hearing problems, call us today at 732-818-3610 we’re here to help!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Gadolinium MRI Contrast Dye Accumulates In Brain By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Gadolinium is a silvery-white heavy metal that is injected into the body through a vein and it is a contrast dye. Sometimes it is referred to as contrast media. They help the radiologist see inside you. Gadolinium is like a flashlight in your body. MRIs that require gadolinium can be ordered for many reasons including migraines, coronary artery disease, stroke evaluation, brain tumors, infections and cysts/tumors. Thousands of shots of gadolinium dye are administered to people each day. Side effects may or may not occur. If they do, they are generally very mild like a headache, dizziness, pain at the injection site, prickling or burning sensation on the skin and sometimes nausea. These issues settle down within 24 hours as your body eliminates the drug from your kidneys. It helps if you take an analgesic and some detoxification supplements like glutathione, catalase and R-lipoic acid. Gadolinium is in the news because the popular dye appears to be retained in the brain, raising safety concerns, especially for people who have multiple MRIs per year. More specifically, there has been a study regarding patients who have MS (multiple sclerosis) and these patients were tracked for five years starting from their diagnosis. Over the five years, the researchers found that a by-product of gadolinium called “gadodiamide” does in fact accumulate in the brain. About nine percent of MS patients who received 5 doses or less did have accumulation in their dentate nucleus, which
is involved in voluntary motor function and cognition. What is the clinical impact of this? No one is certain yet. The findings were published in a medical journal called Neurology, July 2019. The study is causing controversy MS community for good reason. The MRIs are needed and useful, but the contrast dye might be harmful if used over and over. Should they get MRIs and if so, is there another contrast dye to use? Is the dye necessary at all? Are all the MRIs necessary? Is the disease progression causing the brain to hold more, or is it ‘sticking’ to everyone’s brain that gets injected with it? No one knows these answers. There are more questions than answers as of this writing. The study did not find any clear correlation between deposition of the dye in the brain and disability. Radiologists nationwide must be beside themselves because again, the dye allows them to provide more accurate results for you. If, for example, the doctor needs to locate an aneurysm, do you really reject to the contrast dye? Since the relationship of gadolinium with disease severity remains unclear, talk to your doctor about whether or not the radiologist needs the contrast dye. Sometimes they can see certain areas without it. If you have a history of kidney compromise, let them know at the imaging center. Every now and then, there’s an extremely dangerous kidney complication, or life-threatening allergic reaction but predicting who has a high risk for these problems is almost impossible.

“Clear The Shelters”: Help Animals Find Fur-ever Homes
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Get matched with the perfect furry friend to add to your family at this year’s Clear the Shelters national adoption event! On August 17, the 5th annual event will take place at the Ocean County Animal Facilities in Jackson and Manahawkin, 1-4 p.m. “This is a fantastic event that we look forward to participating in every summer,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “The Clear the Shelter event has been a success every year and we look forward once again to finding good, loving homes for all the wonderful pets we have available for adoption at both facilities.” Clear the Shelters is an annual event that aims to find loving fur-ever homes for as many animals as possible by matching cats, kittens, dogs and puppies with responsible, serious pet owners. In the last two years, Clear the Shelters help over 70 pets find permanent loving homes. “It’s really special to see how the community supports this event. So many people tell us they keep this event in mind when they’ve been seriously looking to find a special pet to add to their family,” said
Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator. “It’s been another busy summer so there will be plenty of kittens, cats and dogs to choose from.” Adoption fees will be half the price on all pets during the event. Every dog and cat adopted from the Ocean County Animal Facilities receives a veterinary exam, age appropriate vaccinations, is spayed/neutered, and microchipped. Every one that adopts a pet will also receive a free goodie bag stuffed with treats and toys. “We have a large variety of kittens and cats that are just adorable. Our dogs come in a variety of breeds, sizes and ages,” said Brian Lippai, OCHD Public Information Officer. “The Ocean County Health Department encourages responsible pet ownership and we like to discourage people from buying from puppy mills. There’s nothing quite like a shelter pet” The Ocean County Animal Facilities are located at 615 Freemont Street in Jackson and 360 Haywood Road in Manahawkin. For more information on “Clear the Shelters” or the Ocean County Animal Facilities, call 732-657-8086 or 609-978-0127, or check out the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Robert C. Shea Esq. Rights To Critical Benefits! By: Christopher R. Shea, Esp. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization. Further, it is important to note another critical benefit of the Workers
Compensation Act. This benefit protects Christopher R. Shea Esq. employees f rom collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. 732-505-1212.

MANAHAWKIN – Eleven emerging leaders from New Jersey, including six from Ocean County, will be recognized by Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore at its fourth annual Phenomenal Women Under 40 event on September 18 at The Mainland in Manahawkin. A nonprofit organization dedicated to developing women of courage, confidence and character, Girl Scouts will present honorees its Phenom Award, which recognizes their accomplishments to date, as well as the potential of what they might achieve in their future. All proceeds from the charitable event will benefit programs that develop future leaders of Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore.

The honorees were selected from a public nomination process that considered their emerging leadership in the workplace, volunteerism, as well as demonstrated hard work and dedication necessary to be a success. “This year’s outstanding honorees reflect all aspects of our community,” said Eileen M. Higgins, chief executive officer, Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore. “Whether our Girl Scouts seek a career in finance or medicine, or they wish to forge their own path, these award recipients are excellent role models for our next generation of leaders.” The 2019 Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Phenom Award recipients are: • Chaniqua Buck, South Amboy, a care manager and coach at Monmouth Cares, West Long Branch. • Elizabeth D’Aloisio, Lavallette, the owner of Ice Berg Ice Cream in Lavallette.

DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home is family owned and operated. Founded by Donald & Wanda DeGraff in 1979 in historic downtown Lakehurst. The building itself has a funeral history dating back to the early 1900’s. “Our father was the type of person who was so very compassionate and caring,” said Sherry DeGraff, Manager. “He was an entrepreneur, involved in a number of businesses, but his love was always for the funeral industry.” DeGraff’s mother Wanda is still alive and “still our boss, even if she won’t admit it,” said DeGraff, and her father, Donald passed away in 2004. Growing up with the funeral business surrounding her, DeGraff said she learned from an early age how to treat customers in their time of need. “You handle people in the same way you would want your own family handled, “said DeGraff. “You have to be a good listener, have a lot of compassion and be very flexible. While the core values – compassion, respect and flexibility – have not changed for the DeGraff family, the trends in the funeral business have. Years back, cremations were rare and some religious affiliations did not hold them in high favor. In 1990 the DeGraff family saw the future trends were leaning toward cremation, as a result, their daughter Sherry opened DeGraff Cremation Service offering a wide variety of cremation service options. The move towards more cremation represents the largest shift in the funeral industry. In fact, many consumers believe the cremation
itself is performed at the individual funeral home or cremation service they hired. This is not correct. Crematories are owned by cemeteries. Most people are surprised when they hear that. Many people are unaware that cremation must be authorized by a spouse or blood kin under New Jersey State Law. This can cause undue stress for people who do not have a spouse or family.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE GoFundMe Aims To Replace $18K Stolen From Veteran
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – After a local veteran was scammed out of his life savings, his son started up a fundraising website to help regain what was lost. The GoFundMe page, “Senior with Stage 4 Cancer Scammed out of Savings,” was created by John James on July 30 in order to help his father recoup $18,000 that was taken from him through an ongoing telephone scam. While the name of the victim has not been released, we know he is a 77-year old military veteran in Ocean County who suffers from stage 4 cancer. He was reportedly working to become a bus driver. According to the GoFundMe, James’ father received a call last week from someone claiming to be a Social Security agent. This person claimed that his SSN was compromised and that he would need to contact the sheriff’s department to remedy the situation. While on the phone with someone claiming to be a sheriff, the man was told there was a warrant out for his arrest and that “he needed to do exactly as the agent told him to do.” “Terrified that he was going to be sent to jail and his life’s savings was in jeopardy, he drove to the bank to withdraw his savings. In a panic, he drove all over town with his chemo bag to purchased gift cards at Target, Wal-Mart, and Best Buy. The “agents” told him his money would be protected by giving them the gift card numbers,” read a statement from James on the GoFundMe. All in all, the scammers made out with $18,000 of his money.

–Photo courtesy GoFundMe “After speaking to the real Sheriff and FBI, there is little to no chance of getting justice or retribution. My father worked his whole life and his savings was stolen from him in one day,” stated James. “My father feels violated, victimized and most of all embarrassed. We are doing our best to keep him in good spirits as he continues to fight his cancer.” James created the fundraiser to not only help replace the thousands of dollars lost to the scammers, but also to spread awareness about the prevalence of these kinds of phone scams. These scam callers will “spoof” a number, which means that it looks as if the actual sheriff’s department is calling based on the number, but in reality, it is someone else entirely. “Please warn everyone you know about these devious plots to scam our loved ones and communities out of their hard-earned life savings,” James said. As of August 2, the GoFundMe has only recouped $2,590 of the $18,000 goal. If you wish to contribute, the fundraiser can be found by going to GoFundMe.com and searching for John James.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE JCP&L Tips To Beat The Summer Heat
With the summer heat upon us, JCP&L is prepared to meet the anticipated increase in customer electricity usage that comes with a heat wave. Our system is designed and maintained to operate safely and efficiently even when temperatures soar, and our crews have reviewed hot weather operational procedures to ensure any power outages are handled promptly. JCP&L offers some common-sense hot weather tips customers can follow to stay comfortable while using electricity wisely during this period of high demand: • Set thermostats as high as comfort will allow. Every degree a customer can increase the temperature in their home will result in using about 3 percent less energy during the hottest summer days. • During sunny weather, close drapes or blinds on windows facing the sun to prevent direct radiant heating from impacting interior temperatures. • Use fans – moving air cools skin faster, resulting in greater comfort on hot days. • Use a programmable thermostat to keep temperatures higher when no one is home, and to reduce the temperature before arrival back home. • Only operate window air conditioners when someone is in the room. • Keep refrigerators and freezers as
full as possible. Frozen or cold items in the refrigerator help keep other items cool, reducing the amount of work the refrigerator has to do to maintain a lower temperature. • Close rooms that aren’t used regularly during the summer, and close the air conditioning vents in those rooms, as well. • Avoid using heat-producing appliances during the hottest hours of the day. The less heat produced at home, the less work the air conditioner will do. • Consider investing in ENERGY STAR® appliances or heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. JCP&L may offer rebates on these purchases and tax deductions may apply, as well. • Check air conditioner and furnace fan filters. Clogged filters waste energy and money by forcing HVAC systems to work harder than necessary. In addition, if summer storms result in downed wires it is important to avoid the area and immediately call JCP&L. If you see a downed power line, always assume it is live and dangerous. Report downed power lines im mediately by calling 1-888-LIGHTSS (888-544-4877). Extra caution should be exercised in areas where downed wires may be tangled in downed tree branches or other debris.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of AUG 10 - aug 16
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do what comes naturally and easily to you. Participate in activities that allow you to utilize your areas of expertise even it something else is vying for your attention. Trying something new and different should wait a day or two. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): It may be easier just to do it all yourself. Taking on a partner for a project may prove to be more of a hindrance than a help. Fly solo and you won’t waste valuable time sorting out differing opinions on the best course of action. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Focus on quality not quantity. Doing one task well will hold far more value than doing several just-average jobs. Concentrate on getting the details right and you’ll have a product to take pride in. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Courage is being afraid but going ahead anyway. You may need to must your inner confidence to progress through difficult situations this week, but you are up to the task. Check calendar reminders for obligations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take the path winwin compromise. Trying to impose your will is likely to be met with opposition so look for ways to create a satisfactory solution. You’ll be at your best when employing your imagination and ingenuity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): No one can carry the whole weight of the world on their shoulders. You’ll be running in perpetual circles if you try to please everyone in the upcoming week. Choose carefully how to spend your
valuable time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Waste not, want not. A conservative approach to possessions and finances may lead you to recycle what is still useful or rein in careless spending. Don’t allow jealousy to skew your judgment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Happy bees make the sweetest honey. A fun and enjoyable environment is always more conducive to achieving success with a project or endeavor. Keeping your sense of humor should be the rule this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take a deep breath. If you find that you are getting in over your head, you may want to take a break and recharge your batteries or choose easier-to-attain goals. Giving into casual whims is not advisable now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sometimes less is more. Handle delicate situations carefully and tactfully this week since pushing too hard could end up causing unintended consequences. An objective, subtle and measured approach works best. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Go at your own pace. Trying to keep up with everyone else may only wear you out so find the comfort zone that works for you and stick with it. Set healthy boundaries and uphold them. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Take all the time you need. Don’t allow someone to limit your options by pressuring you to make a quick decision. Seek out alternative solutions or do some research to find the best choice for you.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Are You Enjoying An Overabundant Summer Harvest? Put It In Your Soup Pot! By Wolfgang Puck At the height of summer, I often happily imagine that Mother Nature has gone wild. What else could you think if you walk out into your vegetable garden or through the aisles of the farmers market and see tomatoes, zucchini, summer squashes, kale, chard, sweet corn, peas and other produce at their most beautiful, freshest, and most flavorful - all just begging to be cooked and eaten. To be honest, it can sometimes be overwhelming. What to choose? Harvest or purchase too much, and you may be left regretting wonderful ingredients gone to waste. It can seem impossible to cook it all. But recently, I came across a recipe from a chef on my worldwide culinary team that actually does manage to cook it all, in one big, glorious pot of soup. Vincenzo Scarmiglia, executive chef at Cucina by Wolfgang Puck in Las Vegas, serves guests his version of a traditional Italian recipe he calls Zuppa del Frantoio, which translates as “oil mill soup,” referring to the giant presses used to make cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil. Good, fragrant olive oil plays an important role in this dish, not only for the initial sauteing but more importantly for finishing each serving with a drizzle that releases wonderful aroma and flavor on contact with the hot soup. But the real stars of this soup are the vegetables, 20 twenty in all (that is, if you count two separate sources of tomato along with two different kinds of beans); all simmered together in vegetable broth. No wonder the dish is also called “Twenty Vegetable Soup.” Don’t be alarmed by the long list of ingredients. You’ll only have to buy one each of most of the vegetables, and you can certainly double up on some to make the soup with fewer varieties. For that matter, feel free to substitute or include other vegetables you like from your garden or the market. Most of the work involved in preparing the soup goes into simply dicing the vegetables to a uniform size - 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 12 mm) - that will cook evenly and quickly. Then, you just add them to the pot in the right order as listed in the recipe, starting with those that take longer to cook and then later adding more tender vegetables. Toward the end, you add the quick-cooking leaves, chopped cauliflower and the canned beans. (A quick note: Half of the canned beans are pureed to give thick, velvety body to the soup’s broth). It’s a luxurious bowlful that may remind you of the best minestrone you’ve ever had, apart from the fact that there’s no pasta included. Serve it with lots of crusty Italian bread, and you have a delicious first course that’s so satisfying you may need nothing else to follow. ZUPPA DEL FRANTOIO Serves 8 1/2 cup (125 mL) drained canned white beans 1/2 cup (125 mL) drained cranberry beans or
pinto beans 1/2 cup (125 mL) good-quality fruity extravirgin olive oil, plus extra for seasoning and serving 1 ounce (30 g) chopped garlic, 6 or 7 cloves 2 ounces (60 g) diced red onion, about 1/2 small onion 2 ounces (60 g) diced white onion, about 1/2 small onion 2 ounces (60 g) diced split and rinsed leek white, about 1/2 medium leek 2 ounces (60 g) peeled and diced carrot, about 1 medium carrot 2 ounces (60 g) trimmed and diced celery, about 1 rib 2 ounces (60 g) diced zucchini, about 1/3 medium zucchini 2 ounces (60 g) diced yellow summer squash, about 1/3 medium squash 2 ounces (60 g) peeled, seeded, and diced butternut squash, about 1-inch (2.5-cm) slice of squash 1 cup (250 mL) canned tomato puree 4 ounces (125 g) Roma tomatoes, diced, about 2 tomatoes 2 ounces (60 g) peeled and diced potato, about 1/3 medium potato 4 cups (1 L) good-quality canned vegetable stock 2 ounces (60 g) coarsely chopped cauliflower, just under 1/4 small head 2 ounces (60 g) freshly shucked corn kernels, from 1 small to medium ear 2 ounces (60 g) freshly shelled peas, about 4 ounces (125 g) unshelled 4 ounces (125 g) baby spinach leaves 2 ounces (30 g) de-ribbed and coarsely chopped black kale or green kale 1 to 2 ounces (30 g) coarsely chopped rainbow chard or Swiss chard, about 1 leaf Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving Transfer half of the white beans to a blender or food processor, and blend or process until pureed. Set aside in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. Do the same with the cranberry or pinto beans. Drain and reserve the whole beans. Heat the 1/2 cup (125 mL) olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, leek, carrot and celery. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have turned golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the zucchini, yellow squash, butternut squash and canned and diced tomatoes. Cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, whole beans and bean purees, and vegetable stock. Raise the heat, stirring occasionally, and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, stir in the cauliflower, corn, peas, spinach, kale and chard. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the kale and chard are tender, 5 to 7 minutes longer. Season the soup to taste with more olive oil, salt and pepper. Serve ladled into bowls, passing Parmesan and additional oil for each person to add to taste.
