—Photo by Bob Vosseller A mock funeral conducted by Brick resident Dave Williams noted the death of “civility” during a skit held on the afternoon of Aug. 24 on Washington St. Toms River. By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER - A pair of songwriters turned activists posed the question “is civility dead?” in a rather unique way. They brought their brand of street theatrics on Aug. 24 to the courtyard of the Ocean County Library in downtown Toms River. Dressed in black suits
and hats and taking the theme of a New Orleans-style jazz funeral as their inspiration, the duo joined 11 others for the 30-minute skit that involved a prop coffin, umbrellas and music. Brick resident Dave Williams, the co-founder of the group Forward March said the idea was not exactly to mourn the
loss of civility but to give it a very strong sendoff. Co-Founder Jim Tobias of Matawan said civility “should be a two-way street but I don’t think we are seeing that lately in politics. We should be able to have a debate or argument in politics about public policy but too often it gets heated.” Tobias said that he’d
like to see those who disagree on political issues “keep to the norms of mutual respect” and he pointed to Republicans and those of the extreme right as the main cause. Tobias added that Democrats were being too polite in some of their discourse. “It isn’t even a case of bringing a knife (Civility - See Page 4)
Shouting, Protests At Board Meeting Over Member’s “Hateful” Comments By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Protestors demanded a board of education member resign due to Facebook posts that they called “hateful.” While the attorney for the board denounced the posts, he said this is not a First Amendment issue. The issue revolves around Daniel Leonard, the Beachwood representative on the Toms River Board of Education. He had been called out by an anti-bigotry group for Facebook posts they said were against people of the Muslim faith. Leonard has defended himself, stating that his comments were against Sharia Law, and not Muslims. A protest took place before the regular Board of
Education meeting, held at High School North. It was attended by just short of 100 people. There were also some who came out in support of him. Leonard has declined to run for re-election, and his term is up at the end of this year. That was not enough for protestors. “In the meantime, he’s making decisions that will affect all students in the district,” said one of the organizers of the event. Kelley Morris, representing NJ21 United, is a middle school teacher in Gloucester Township. She said since Leonard’s posts have spoken out against Muslims, women, and other groups, he shouldn’t represent a district. “He’s the exact opposite” of the lessons that teachers (Protest - See Page 14)

State: Bias Crimes Up Among Youth
By Chris Lundy TRENTON – Social media. Political rhetoric. People not interacting with others who are different. All of these factors are creating a rise in bias crimes throughout the state, officials said, and half of the offenders were children. “We need to do a better job of confronting hate in young people,” Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said. The number of bias incidents last year - 569 - was the highest reported since 2011. There were 549 reported in 2017. A new study by the New Jersey State Police and Division on Civil Rights noted an increase in bias crimes since 2016. To discuss this, the media was invited to a conference call with Grewal, Zakiya Smith Ellis, Secretary of Higher Education, Kelly LeDet, Assistant Commissioner, Department of Education, Col. Patrick Callahan, Superintendent of State Police, Jared Maples, Director of Homeland Security and Preparedness, and Rachel Wainer Apter, Director of the Division on Civil Rights. A bias offense was, for example, a violent crime, robbery/theft, desecration of sacred objects, harassment and threats. The officials saw these crimes as a foreshad(Bias - See Page 24)
Carol Wolfe, Founder Of Dottie’s House, Remembered
By Chris Lundy BRICK – Friends and relatives described Carol Wolfe as someone who forever improved the lives of local families…as well as her own family. Wolfe, 80, had received dozens of awards and recognitions, but she was best known as the founder of Dottie’s House and Homes Now. Dottie’s House, named after her own moth(Memorium - See Page 5)

Civility:
Continued From Page 1 to a gun fight. They bring a covered dish to a gun fight. We’re not trying to be nasty but we do want to be visible, clear and assertive.” The two men have for some time enjoyed writing song parodies and examining various ways to promote their progressive ideology. Williams said “I have only been an activist since early 2017 when I joined Indivisible NJ 3rd District at its first meeting. I’m now the group’s leader. I’m also involved with other grassroots groups and I am an elected member of the Ocean County Democratic Committee.” Tobias has been an activist for a longer time and has been involved with the Working Families Alliance, according to Williams.
“Civility is dead. It is coming from the top down,” Joanie Parks of Waretown said. Parks was one of the participants at the event and helped hold the mock coffin. Parks was critical of President Donald Trump. “He has no regard for humanity, not even his own family.” Fellow Waretown resident Roseann DePasquale donned a black veil and played a small drum during the activity. Toms River resident Bob Riehl literally got a front row seat for the event. “I learned about this only an hour ago. I’m an optimist and while I feel civility is dead, I think it will come back. I’m sick of all the hate speech. There is no room for it in this country.” Williams said that “we first started talking seriously at a “Tax Scam” protest which I believe was in early 2018, whenever the Trump/ GOP tax cut came out. We started a kind of

chain email with a handful of other people we knew, working on ways to do more fun/ theatrical/wacky things than what you find at a typical protest rally or march.” Williams said this is when the duo got serious about what they wanted to do next. “We met at Jim’s house and talked about ideas. That led to the formation of Forward March, and we created a Facebook group and a logo and all that. The logo is now on a bass drum that I bought used for cheap, after we discussed the idea of having a “drumline” for protest marches as one of our projects.” The two songwriters started discussing the “death of civility” concept during that meeting. “R.I.P. Civility” was the group’s second event that they organized. “This is first event though that is in the spirit of what we are trying to do but we’re happy to perform at other protests in order to add our brand of irreverent fun to the proceedings,” Williams said. “The first event we staged was an impeach-
ment rally in Asbury Park earlier this summer. We had assumed there would be a rally somewhere as there were national coordinated rallies, but when we didn’t find one, we decided to host it,” Williams said. The duo took part in a Trenton based rally called Empower NJ, a Lights for Liberty event at the ICE detention center in Elizabeth and in June a pro-impeachment protest in Asbury Park. On Aug. 21 they joined students of Toms River High School North who protested Board of Education member Daniel Leonard who posted derogatory comments about U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) on Facebook. “We aren’t committed to any specific ideology although we’re left of center, obviously. We’re more interested in methodology and tactics and finding ways to make the resistance movement more enjoyable and engaging - partly to attract new people to the movement, and partly to keep up the morale of the people already in it,” Williams said.

Continued From Page 1 er, started in 1999 as a program for women and children to gain independence after domestic violence. Homes Now, started in 1997, is a non-profit that has built and monitors more than 200 quality affordable housing units, such as the Chambers Br idge Residence. According to her obituary, she raised more than $30 million in funding through grants for her programs. She retired from Homes Now in 2017. He r d au g ht e r, K a r e n Weh meye r, painted a picture of Sunday dinners where – despite all the hectic running around of modern life – family gathered around for big Italian meals like macaroni and meatballs. “Mom was all about family,” she said. There are a lot of obligations, but her family came first. She had four children, ten grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. She was married to Assemblyman David Wolfe (R-10 th). Sometimes, family and work were combined. She’d recr uit relatives to help in fundraising events. “She made time for us,” she said. “Weekends were spent at Meemaw’s house.” Lately, she had become a snowbird, splitting her time between here and Florida. In addition to her extended family, she sur rounded herself with great friends, her daughter said. She enjoyed seei ng Broa dway shows,
The Toms River Times, August 31, 2019, Page 5 gardening, and watching tennis (and yelling at the players on TV). She was a strong woman, Wehmeyer said. Her medical prognosis was difficult at the end, but loved ones figured that if anyone could get through it, it was her. “She put up a good fight,” she said. “The doctor said it was a more difficult surgery than anticipated.” The lawmakers who also represented the 10 th District, Senator James Holzapfel and Assemblyman Greg McGuckin, mourned her loss. “It’s a terrible situation,” Holzapfel said, as David Wolfe had announced his retirement and Carol Wolfe had retired from Homes Now. “She was so good for Brick and for Ocean Count y,” he said, noting her many causes, including the ARC. Things have changed during the time she star ted Dottie’s House, he said. Today, people are more aware of domestic violence, but when she started the organization, it wasn’t talked about as much. “She was a great lady who did so much for our community, and for women who had nowhere else to turn,” McGuckin said. “She saw a need and really took the time to help people.” Dottie’s House is an opportunity for women to turn over the next chapter of their lives in a safe environment, he said. It is a one-stop shop toward independence. There are a lot of people in need, and she was someone who could
get them that help. Karen Kirton, a case manager for Dottie’s House, said that it is more than just a shelter. While shelters are important, Dottie’s House provides a safe haven so women can become self-sufficient. It’s the beginning of a journey.

I remember the f irst time I met her. The first thing she talked about was her mot her,” Kir ton said. “I feel like I’ve lear ned so much in this program because she was such a strong force.” I n more recent yea rs, she would work from her h o m e of f i c e a n d m a ke sure that the best people were running the day-today operation. She would still appear at every fundraiser, Kirton said. Even as she retired from other obligations, “She couldn’t let go of Dottie’s House; s h e l ove d h e r m o m s o much.” She estimated that the organization has probably helped 150-200 families

KNEE PAIN? Grinding, popping, difficulty walking or going up and down the stairs, bone-on-bone pain… Does any of this sound familiar?
There’s no one single answer to all knee pain, especially when every person is different. The truth is, it is impossible to know what kind of treatment would be effective until your case is examined. Only then can medical professionals determine what would be best for you. People suffering from knee pain often try a number of potential solutions before finding relief. What works for one person may not work for another, and that’s where expert 5-star care and nearly 20 years of experience comes into play at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation.

At Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation, there are no cookie cutter plans. With so many different services available in one facility, there are a number of possibilities and different combinations of treatments that can be customized to each patient.

These tiny pricks that most patients can hardly feel are awakening your body’s innate ability to relieve pain –all while you get to sit back and relax.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F eatured L etter Working Together, We Can End Hunger in Our Community Tonight in New Jersey, children will go to bed hungry. Contrary to popular notions about hunger in America, most are not homeless. In fact, most New Jersey families that struggle to put food on the table live in households that have at least one working adult. In Monmouth County, where I live, and in neighboring Ocean County, one in ten residents don’t know where their next meal will come from, let alone whether if it will be nutritious. One in seven of those ten are children. The anxiety and fear of not knowing is what social services agencies call “food insecurity.” That is why I am beginning a new chapter in my life: leading the effort to end hunger in our community as Chief Executive Officer of Fulfill, formerly the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Fulfill aims to not only help our neighbors experiencing food insecurity today, but to provide them with the resources to become self-sufficient for tomorrow. I am excited join a team of 50 employees and 1,400 volunteers whose mission is to “shorten the line” of those in our communities who are hungry. In decades of serving as an elected official and as a federal and state prosecutor, I have seen firsthand that government is ill-equipped to solve complex problems like widespread hunger and food insecurity. Even when solutions are conceivable, they are often rarely achievable, partly because of politics, but chiefly because governmental solutions are
simply enormously expensive…and because government is the proverbial ocean liner that changes course too slowly and often too late. Fulfill’s mission is to identify and develop comprehensive solutions to the range of problems that lead to hunger and food insecurity in the first place. Of course, we distribute food to those who need it, but our overarching goal is to help those in need get to a place where they can get back on their feet for good. Fulfill provides 13.2 million meals annually through a network of over 300 food pantries and soup kitchens in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. We also “fulfill” needs such as job training, helping file tax returns, finding access to health insurance, job training and gaining access to services that help families eliminate their food insecurity. For example, through our culinary art training school, Fulfill has graduated 389 trainees. When I was Lieutenant Governor, I visited a food pantry and met a woman who proudly told me her daughter was serving our country as a U.S. Marine. This mother had fallen on tough times, she told me, and despite working two jobs, she had to rely on the pantry to feed her family. But what bothered her most - her “worst fear,” as she put it - was that her daughter would learn she was shopping at a food pantry and be embarrassed. That’s the rub, isn’t it? Even as we struggle with hunger
and food insecurity, we also struggle with the stigma associated with having to rely on food pantries. But why? If one out of ten families across the state struggle with food insecurity, these folks aren’t just other families; they’re us. In the coming months, it is my goal to reach every corner of Monmouth and Ocean Counties to raise awareness of hunger in our own backyard and of the services Fulfill provides. If you are a business or community leader in our area, don’t be surprised if I reach out to you for support for the important work Fulfill has undertaken. If you are one of the thousands of people to whom I offered my cell phone number over the years, now is the time to call that number and offer your help to support Fulfill’s work, whether with a donation or as a volunteer. As I begin this new endeavor, a comment that rings in my ears as a call to action was made by a school superintendent who was criticized for not closing schools during a snow storm. “If we didn’t open the schools,” he said, “many of our children would not eat that day.” In this day and age, that is not the reality in which we should be living. Log onto fulfillnj.org and donate or volunteer. Kim Guadagno President and CEO of Fulfill, formerly the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

Trump Should Be Held Accountable Mueller’s testimony to Congress made it clear: it’s time for an impeachment inquir y. Hearing Mueller describe the extent of Trump’s crimes and corrup-
vinced me that Congress can no longer stand idly by. Mueller did not exonerate Donald Trump - not by a long shot. His investigation found extensive criminal activity and resulted in 37 indictments and at least 7 convictions or guilty pleas, including Trump’s national security advisor, personal lawyer, and campaign chairman. Mueller uncovered over 100 secret meetings and communications between Trump’s team and Russia and their cronies - and found at least 10 episodes of obstruction of justice by Donald Trump, in which he tried to bury the truth. Obstruction of justice is a serious crime. If anyone else did what Trump did, they’d be in jail. Mueller

made it clear that the Department of Justice prevented him from indicting Donald Trump. That’s why it’s up to Congress to hold him accountable. No one is above the law in our country, not even the president. That’s why it’s time for our representatives and the rest of Congress to take action to hold Trump accountable by moving forward with a formal impeachment inquiry. Doing nothing will only embolden Trump to continue breaking the law and will set a dangerous precedent for our democracy. That’s not the America I know. Your fellow citizens are either demoralized or angry or both and they desperately need your ethical representation. Show them that their government abides by the law.

TRENTON - As a result of a new law signed by Governor Murphy, more than 700 undocumented students received $3.8 million in college financial aid while schools in the 10th Legislative District are facing massive cuts to public school funding. Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Greg McGuckin and Dave Wolfe (all R-10) note how spending is out of control and unfair funding of education in
Lawmakers Oppose $3.8 Million Aid Given To Undocumented Students
this state continues to hurt both the taxpayers and the students. “I am appalled that our state rewards students who are living in this country illegally by giving them financial aid at the expense of our taxpayers,” stated Senator Holzapfel. “Brick and Toms River schools are seeing some of the worst funding cuts in years, forcing the district to lay off teachers and cut afterschool programs, while
Governor Murphy hands out millions to send illegal immigrants to college.” In May 2018, Governor Murphy signed a law that expanded the Tuition Equality Act, which had allowed u ndocu mented immigrants to pay in-state tuition at New Jersey public colleges and universities. In addition, the new law permitted undocumented students to receive financial aid and as a result in the 2018-19 school year,
the state awarded $3.8 million to 749 undocumented students. “New Jersey is a diverse and welcoming state but we cannot stand by and watch as illegal immigrants are rewarded and law-abiding, taxpaying families are stuck with the tab for the Governor’s liberal agenda yet again,” said Assemblyman McGuckin. “The families in our district cannot afford it and neither can our public schools who have
been punished enough.” The New Jersey Tuition Aid Grant program determines awards for the NJ Stars and NJ Stars II scholarship programs and $3.5 million of the aid awarded to the undocumented students was used from these programs. Assemblyman Dave Wolfe was a pr imary sponsor of the bill that created the NJ Stars scholarship program which covers the cost of tuition at New Jersey community
NJ To Receive $10.8 Million For MAIN STREET Maternity Programs AUTO REPAIR
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senators Bob Menendez, a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee that sets national health policy, and Cory Booker announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services $10,821,021 for its Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program services to women during pregnancy and to parents with young children. “Home visitations by nurses, social workers and other professionals are proven to improve the prenatal health, development, education and economic self-sufficiency of low-income children and families,” said
Sen. Menendez, who was a key architect of the program. “This funding will go a long way to help us build upon proven programs in New Jersey that are already helping children in at-risk households.” “Providing pregnant women and new parents with additional support and resources ensures that babies are born healthy and parents learn to provide the care their child needs to thrive,” said Sen. Booker. “This funding will help expand a proven program that supports families in need and will make a lasting difference in the lives of many New Jersey families.” Through MIECHV, nurses, social workers, or other professionals visit at-risk families in their homes to evaluate their
living situations and provide information on resources available to improve the health, educational, and economic opportunities for at-risk children. Resources include health care, early education, parenting skills, child abuse prevention, and nutrition education or assistance. Sen. Menendez is the Senate champion of the MIECHV program and led the charge for a five-year reauthorization in 2017 to ensure families across the nation continue to receive services from this important program. In New Jersey, all twenty-one counties are served by this program Throughout his career, Sen. Menendez has supported legislation to support mothers and families.

colleges for students who rank in the top 15 of their high school class. “It is unfortunate that the majority of the funds given to these undocumented students have come from the NJ Stars program,” added Assemblyman Wolfe. “Any money that is available should only be awarded to students who are living in this country legally not to undocumented students being used as a political statement.”

Sixth Annual Celebration Of Hope Walk Set For Sept. 7 By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – There is hope in the battle against addiction and the members of Hope Sheds Light Inc. is celebrating that through its 6th Annual Celebration of Hope Walk on Sept. 7 at the Seaside Heights boardwalk. Hope Sheds Light, a non-profit organization based in Toms River, is dedicated to educating families about the disease of addiction. Organization Chief Executive Officer Pamela Capaci said “those impacted by addiction typically don’t know where to turn to for help. Our walk offers them community support.” She added that during the walk the community will come together to learn about addiction and celebrate recovery and provide hope to those affected. Capaci said that the annual event includes the formation of teams and that each walk team, “is encouraged to have at least four members and to set a fundraising goal to participate in our walk challenge.” “The team that raises the most funds for Hope Sheds Light will be recognized at the event and prizes will be given to the top three fundraising teams,” Capaci said. The two-mile walk has grown each year since it started according to Capaci. She said that 2,000 participants have been a part of the fundraiser in the past. “This
year, we are hoping to have 3,000 plus participants create a sea of yellow on Sept. 7.” “It is just so powerful to see our community come together to provide hope for those suffering from this epidemic,” Capaci said. The event will also include speakers who Capaci said will inspire attendees. A “Tree of Hope” will also be present to remember those lost to addiction. Various vendors, face painting, music, a 50/50 raffle and much more will be part of the “celebration of recovery,” Capaci said. Resources will also be offered to families facing addiction issues. Capaci stressed that the walk is designed to make people aware “that help is nearby and that families can recover together. Come down and walk with us. Hope is here for you.” The organization was formed in 2012 after co-founder Ron Rosetto lost his son Marc to a battle against substance abuse. Rosetto was joined by co-founders Arvo Prima, Stephen Willis and Capaci. Each are excited about the expansion of the organization’s mission. The group will soon open a new recovery community center in Toms River. The organization will offer peer-based recovery services, family support groups, social recreational outings, wellness workshops and physical activities for the whole family.

Zachary Dougherty, a recent Toms River High School North graduate, spoke about Leonard’s mistreatment of board members in addition to social media posts. “He is one thing and one thing only – a bully.” “Your actions have consequences,” he said. It’s not about the First Amendment. It’s about representing everyone when you are in a position of authority. Geoff Ginter, a Pine Beach resident who often appears at regional public sessions, agreed, stating that Leonard likely posted offensive material in the past, but that now he is a public official, they are more in the public view. He urged people not to protest out of vengeance, but from a place of love for their fellow people.

Security At Meeting Plain-clothed but armed security, as well as township police officers, were in attendance at the meeting. They also searched bags and used a metal detecting wand on people entering the building. During one shouting match, security was called, but the situation defused itself before they intervened. During the meeting, residents got an opportunity to voice their opinion. Lilah Saber, a graduate of Toms River schools, told stories about how she was treated as an Arab child in the district. “In seventh grade, a student told the teacher I had a bomb in my clarinet case,” she said. In other issues, she had teachers either not stand up to defend her or say negative things to her about people of Middle Eastern descent. “They are not a new problem,” she said about the Facebook comments.
Kim Kearney, who taught in the district, said that Leonard might see himself as a David against Goliath, being the protesters. But the protesters are the David here. Lisa Gertner, the co-founder of Reaching Across Faith Traditions, implored him to learn about Islam instead of “spreading lies.” A private citizen can say whatever they want, she said. It’s when he’s a public official that these comments become an issue. For the most part, Board Attorney Stephen Leone spoke on behalf of the board. Occasionally, the superintendent or a board member would take issue when a member of the public attacked the district. Leonard was silent during the meeting, laughing once during a shouting match, and left when it ended without talking to anyone. On his personal Facebook, he had made fun of the protestors, in one case using a picture taken at the protest. Leone said that there have been statements by the board president, superintendent, and himself that those comments were not condoned. “This is not a First Amendment rights issue,” the board attorney said. “This is an issue of an elected board member. There is a code of ethics. He’s held to a higher standard.” While there is free speech, there are still things you can not do, he explained. You can’t yell “fire” in a theater, for example. “He’s an admirable man. He served his country well,” he said of his military experience. When someone asked if the board filed a complaint against him with the state, Leone said that the board can’t legally do that. Individual members can, but it is a fruitless effort. In the past, complaints have taken a year or so to get heard, which would be months after he is no longer in office. He said he has spoken to the commissioner of education if it is possible to expedite a

Protest:
Continued From Page 14 complaint, and was told it is not possible. Leonard’s Supporters Although the majority of people spoke against his Facebook’s comments, a few people came out in support of him. Rich Denicola served seven years overseas with Leonard, where Leonard oversaw equal opportunity in the Army. During his tenure, he did not have any cases brought against him or the soldiers in his care. One day, his vehicle was stoned by Afghan children. The next day, he gave the children candy and food, Denicola said. In another situation, he rescued an Afghan person from a fire. “There is always a different perspective,” he said. “He calls out hate when he sees it.” Another supporter, Joe Ferrandino, said that he hadn’t seen what Leonard posted on Facebook, but still stood up for his right to post it. “There is no such thing in America as hate speech,” he said, calling political correctness censorship. After the meeting, his supporters were approached by protestors and had a civil conversation. The Facebook Posts The Facebook posts that Leonard had shared were memes created by other people.
One was a repost from a conservative podcaster disparaging Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota. When reposting, Leonard commented “Terrorist…100%” Another was a repost of a Fox News post about Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan. Leonard commented “My life would be complete if she/ they die.” A third was a repost of a meme showing a Barbie doll with a bruise and a hijab, referring to it as “Sharia Barbie.” These statements have reached national news cycles. At the time these posts were first brought to light, Leonard stated that he is against Sharia Law, not Muslims. The comments regarding Congresswoman Tlaib were about her calling for a hunger strike to shut down Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This came from a Fox News clip that was cut short, in which she did not actually urge hunger strikes; she only mentioned that other people were doing it. Leonard’s point was that if she wants to starve herself, then fine. But he did not call for violence against her. After an initial news report about the issue was made public, Leonard addressed the issues on Facebook, stating that he served in the Middle East doing his part protecting Muslims from radicalized Islamic fundamentalists. Leonard retired from the Army National Guard as a Master Sergeant. He was not available to comment for this.

Around The Jersey Shore Officials: Teen Suicide A Big Issue In Ocean County
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – While it may be hard to hear, it is important to be aware of: suicide has become the third leading cause of death among children and young adults aged 10-24. While vape pens and underage drinking are the usual cause for concern, parents and guardians should also keep a close eye on teenagers for other risk factors. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), 14 young people between the ages of 10 and 24 committed suicide from 2013 to 2015 in Ocean County. During the same two year period, there was a whopping 283 cases for the entire state. “Sadly, society is putting more and more
pressure on our young people today. Peer pressure, bullying, social media, drugs and alcohol are just some of the social challenges young people are trying to navigate,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little. According to the same AFSP study, from 2013 to 2015, Ocean County had 1 of the 3 highest rates in the state for suicide attempts and self-inflicted injuries among 10 to 24 year olds. “It’s become another public health issue with too many sad endings,” said Daniel E. Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator. “However, research has shown suicide deaths can be preventable. The key is promoting the work of suicide prevention and mental health awareness. Increased collaboration with state, local and community partners is essential for success.” Prevention efforts begin with educating pediatricians, primary health care providers, school personnel and families on how to recognize the warning signs of suicide and what action to take when intent is disclosed. “Help is available. Young people need to be encouraged to speak with a trusted adult or call a suicide prevention hotline if they feel overwhelmed, depressed or are having suicidal thoughts, said Kimberly Reilly, OCHD Chief of Administrative Services. “Parents that are concerned their child may be suffering from depression or suicidal tendencies need to act quick - do not wait, seek professional help right away.” Symptoms of depression or suicidal tendencies may be hard to detect. Officials note that challenges like divorce, remarriage, relationship problems and social media can be major factors. “Earlier detection means earlier treatment,” Regenye added. “That’s why it is so important for parents, loved ones and educators to keep an eye out for the signs of depression or any other mental health concerns.” For more information, or for links to suicide prevention websites and hotlines, visit the OCHD website at ochd.org or follow us on Twitter@OCpublichealth or Facebook.

Around The Jersey Shore Smithsonian Water Exhibition Delights Local Audiences TOMS RIVER - The Ocean County Library, in cooperation with New Jersey Council for the Humanities, will host “Water/ Ways,” a Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibition exploring the environmental and cultural impact of water. “Water/Ways” will be on display at the Toms River Branch through Sep. 29. “Water/Ways” explores the endless motion of the water cycle, water’s effect on landscape, settlement and migration, and its impact on culture and spirituality. It looks at how political and economic planning have long been affected by access to water and control of water resources. Human creativity and resourcefulness provide new ways of protecting water resources and renewing respect for the natural environment. The Toms River Branch and the surrounding community was expressly chosen by the New Jersey Council for the Humanities to host “Water/Ways” as part of the Museum on Main Street project—a national/state/ local partnership to bring exhibitions and programs to rural cultural organizations. After it leaves Toms River in September, the exhibition will travel to more commu-

Does Your Bff Need Hearing Help?
If you wear hearing technology, you’ve probably already experienced the liberating sense of independence that can come with it. But what if you have a friend or family member who’s not quite ready to confront their own hearing loss? Only a fraction of the millions of people with hearing difficulties actually seek help. One consumer advocacy group’s 2018 survey* cited as the top three reasons: cost, lack of hearing testing, and embarrassment. Let’s tackle each one of them to help you help your loved one take action! COST Today’s hearing aids not only deliver clear sound and easy audio streaming but — depending on the device — can also track brain and body health, automatically adjust to different listening environments, and more. They’re an investment in better health, but solutions such as financing options, potential insurance coverage, and diverse budget-friendly technology levels can make a difference. With research linking hearing loss to other conditions such as cognitive decline, the consequences of Procrastination could prove an even bigger cost. Our Staff strongly advises that you stay away from any mail order company that just sends you hearing aid devices to your home without any hearing evaluation/ test. Imagine purchasing a set of eye glasses without the company knowing your vision prescription!
TESTING Regular audiological exams are an important part of hearing health, yet 30% of participants in the consumer survey went over a decade without a hearing test — or never had one. That’s a lot of folks potentially unaware of the state of their ears and possible problems that could be addressed. The good news? Hearing exams are painless and empowering. Plus, the earlier any potential hearing loss is addressed, the better it is for overall health. EMBARRASSMENT People want to hear their best without their devices being obvious — but try spotting today’s near-invisible hearing aids. With styles that fit deep in the ear canal or snugly behind the ear, plus colors to match individual preferences, it’s easy to hear confidently and discreetly. Seeing is believing, however, so consider showing off your own device’s subtle fit.Also, your loved one may be able to test-drive some of our exciting — and inconspicuous — technology. If your loved one needs hearing care, we’re here to help with compassionate staff and three convenient offices. Call us at 732-8183610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin). Please feel free to also visit our website: gardenstatehearing.com. *Levine H. Sound Advice About Hearing Loss. Consumer Reports. June 2018.

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Some Generics Not Up to Snuff By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I’ve always been a proponent for generic medications because they are more affordable and supposedly contain the same biologically active ingredient as the brand. But the generic industry is starting to worry me. The generic industry rakes in over $104 billion dollars a year from sales in the United States alone, but about 90 percent of them are manufactured overseas. We should feel completely safe about the medications we take, right? The generic version of a drug is supposed to have only slightly different things in it, for example, the flavor, the colorant or the inactive filler. But the active ingredient is supposedly the same. The problem is that United States FDA doesn’t have the time or person-power to fly over the world and inspect all these places prior to our country importing the medications, which then get sold to you without further inspection at the distribution or pharmacy level. What exactly are we importing? This causes me to pause. The world is so different now than it was when I graduated as a pharmacist in 1989. Everyone is cutting corners, things aren’t made like they used to be. Perhaps this is also more reason to visit holistic practitioners who don’t order prescriptions right off the bat. Here are some scary facts: 1. FDA visited an overseas facility and found out that the pharmaceutical company was hiding negative results from their tests, but because we had a shortage of that drug, we still continued to import it. 2. Our investigator went to another overseas facility and had suspicions that the company was faking and manipulating their generic drug data to make it match the brand name’s data. A warning letter was issued by the FDA
but importation continued. (Really, that’s it???) 3. One pharma company abroad diluted the main ingredient with something else, but made it just potent enough to pass lab tests. (Isn’t that called counterfeiting?!) 4. Contamination is a problem. Case in point, one company was guilty of using dirty and corroded sterilizing equipment while making generic insulin and another drug commonly sold in the US to treat arrhythmias! Despite all this, I still feel that there are more good generic companies than there are bad ones. If the generic maker’s facility is based in the United States then I wouldn’t worry because the FDA is routinely inspecting them. If you’ve been taking a generic medication and feel well on it, you should continue. There is absolutely no reason to panic or even question your pharmacy. They do a good job and when there is a recall, they are very diligent about quickly pulling drugs off the market. Your generic medication may change from time to time. You open your pill bottle and the pill looks completely different. This is because the pharmacy is using a different generic. You will be told, or the pharmacy will apply a sticker that says, “This is the same medication you have been getting. Color, size or shape may appear different.” This is a good time for you to take note about how you feel on this new generic version which may or may not have been imported from non-inspected facilities from China, India or other countries abroad. I realize this is difficult to navigate, and for some of you, this is the last thing you want to hear. It’s up to you to decide what to do and how much you want to pay for medication (ie brand vs generic). It’s unfortunate that in the drug industry, like many other industries, profit is more important than safety.

R.C. Shea & Assoc. Around The Jersey Shore
Inside The Law Congratulations! You Have Just Won The Lottery... Or Have You?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J, Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Today’s world is filled with scams. It’s becoming harder and harder to trust anyone. A new assault on victims is in the form of Lottery and Sweepstake scams. These scams are becoming more and more common. They may come to you from social media, phone calls, mailings, e-mail and text messages-all saying that you have won money or prizes. The scammers may even try to impersonate public figures, police, FBI, Lottery and Officials. To make matters worse, they have also mastered the art of cloning otherwise legitimate web sites and social media profiles. So how do you know if your winnings are legitimate? Scammers like to ask for up-front payment, such as taxes, processing fees, delivery fees, legal fees or customer fees to collect your “winnings. Any payment requested in advance should be a red flag! The most common up-front payment request is a monetary transfer, because these are like cash. Other up-front payment schemes that are becoming popular include prepaid cards and iTunes gift cards because the scammers can access your balance if you give them the number from the back of the card or a PIN over the phone. Scammers may also ask that you send cash in the mail. Once you give them cash they are likely to ask for more and more. One trick the scammers use to entice victims
to send more money is to Michael J. Deem claim that there is a larger jackpot at stake or that there was some error or problem that can only be solved with more money. The scammers may even threaten violence. Never give these strangers your personal information. Don’t give them your banking information or credit card information. The scammers will use this information to make unauthorized charges to your credit card or access your bank account. The scammers can also sell your private information to other scammers. Some victims are asked to deposit fake checks and if that check bounces the victim will be responsible for the bounced check fee. If you have fallen victim to a scam you may be able to stop the damage. Report the matter to your financial institution, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, Local Police, the State Attorney General, The Federal Trade Commission and the US Postal Inspection Service. The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle most consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. A contingency means if there is no recovery, there is no fee.

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) wants to remind residents that vaccinating their precious furry friends can save their pets lives from many deadly diseases such as canine distemper and rabies. “We have recently seen an increase in canine distemper cases in raccoons here in Ocean County so now is a good time to urge all cat and dog owners to vaccinate their pets with age appropriate vaccines as recommended by their veterinarian,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Pet vaccines exist to prevent your pet from falling ill. They provide immunity from a range of infectious diseases that can affect both humans and animals. Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator reminds us, “Living in Ocean County, many of us share our surroundings with wildlife. Sometimes animals such as raccoons, skunks and opossum may have an unexpected encounter with a family pet so it’s best to be protected from any of the diseases those animals may potentially be carrying. And you can never forget that

rabies can be passed on from animals to humans so keeping vaccinations up-to-date is crucial in maintaining not only your pet’s health, but your own.” Tips to keep your pets safe from wildlife: • Keep your dogs on a leash while on walks or at the park • Keep your cats indoors • Do not catch or remove wildlife form their homes • Don’t feed wildlife on your property and don’t feed your pets outside • Keep garbage can lids secure • Enjoy wildlife from a distance Regenye added, “Pet owners should schedule annual wellness appointments with their veterinarian to discuss their health and vaccination schedule. However, if you suspect your cat or dog had contact with a sick animal you should call your veterinarian right away.” If you have any questions regarding vaccinations please call the Ocean County Animal Facilities at 732-657-8086 or 609-978-0127 or your veterinarian.

Bias:
Continued From Page 1 owing of what is to come, especially if this upward trend continues. “Domestic terrorism starts with bias crimes,” said Homeland Security Director Maples. The most common bias crimes were on the basis of race or ethnicity. There were 307 in 2018, for example. In a majority of these, the victims were black. In previous years, Hispanics were the most targeted. Also in 2018, there were 199 incidents based on religion (the most common victim were Jews), 59 based on gender or sexual orientation, and four based on disability. Throughout all the statistics, going back to 2006, roughly 80 percent of the offenders were white. At least 73 percent of all offenders were male. In 2018, half of the offenders were minors. In previous years, it was closer to a third. A quarter of all incidents took place at colleges. For the first time ever, authorities had to include a new demographic: bias incidents in elementary and secondary schools. There were 36 recorded. In 2017, there were four offenders younger than 10, and three victims younger than 10. “Schools are a microcosm of our society,” said LeDet, Assistant Commissioner of the Department of Education. This is why schools have to provide a more positive environment. “Fostering a sense of inclusion will help people finish college,” said Smith Ellis, Secretary of Higher Education. The statistics for the state match those reported nationwide by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the report stated. In Ocean County, there were 43 re-
ported bias incidents in 2016, and 32 in 2017 and 32 again in 2018. In Monmouth County, there were 77 reported in 2016, 79 in 2017, and 94 in 2018. Why The Increase? The report was unable to pinpoint the cause to the increases in bias incidents. One suggestion is that authorities are getting better at reporting them. Bias attacks are likely underreported, Grewal said. When people are targeted, they either don’t bother reporting because they don’t think they’ll be taken seriously, or they don’t feel safe coming to police. That could explain why previous years are lower. However, he said if this is true, and people are still not reporting incidents, then the numbers in 2017 and 2018 would be even higher. Another theory is that prejudice and hate are normalized online. One study noted that when Russian companies buying Facebook ads inciting racial disharmony, bias attacks increased. The report read: “Scholars and experts have suggested several factors they believe are connected to the rise in bias incidents: social media, political rhetoric, and the rise in the number of hate groups. As for social media, psychologists have found that people, including perpetrators of hate crimes, tend to conform to perceived social norms and act in ways that they believe will be socially acceptable. However, instead of looking to their real-world communities for social cues, people are increasingly seeking affirmation of their personal beliefs through technology, especially on social media. But social media posts do not accurately ref lect the full spectrum of societal views. As just one example, Facebook uses an algorithm to determine what
kind of content most engages users and then proliferates that content. Studies suggest that “[p]osts that tap into negative, primal emotions like anger or fear” perform best in user engagement, and thus are proliferated by the Facebook algorithm. Facebook’s algorithm can thus elevate “superposters” with exaggerated worldviews, including when it comes to hate and bias.” Politics are also to blame, according to the state study: “As to political forces, hate crimes may be more likely during times of political and social change. And research suggests that extreme political rhetoric, which tends to be amplified during times of political and social change and polarization, may contribute to an increase in hate crimes. For example, another study by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism compared President George W. Bush’s speech six days after the September 11th attacks declaring that “Islam is peace,” with then-candidate Donald Trump’s call for a Muslim ban five days after the San Bernardino attack in 2015.27 The study found that “a nt i-Mu sl i m hat e c r i me s d roppe d dramatically across the country” after President Bush’s statements of tolerance, as compared to the spike in hate crimes immediately following September 11th, while such crimes increased from eight incidents nationwide in the f ive-day period immediately following the San Bernardino attack to fifteen incidents, including multiple assaults and two fire-bombings, in the five-day period following then-candidate Trump’s Muslim ban proposal. The study also noted a moderate weekly rise in Google hate searches following that proposed ban.”
equality, because too many politicians are targeting groups of people, said Apter, Director of the Division on Civil Rights. During the conference call, a reporter from New York Public Radio asked about two public leaders whose comments attacked certain groups. One was in Sussex County. The other was Dan Leonard, the Beachwood representative on the Toms River Board of Education who has been accused of spreading hate online. LeDet said that the state can’t force him to resign but otherwise would not comment. “Anyone in a position of authority should cool t he polit ical rhetor ic,” Grewal said. “If political leaders had more restraint, others would have more restraint.” What’s The Answer? The report delves into a number of ways to address bias crimes, although there is likely no way to prevent them entirely. Law enforcement must prosecute bias crimes and the crimes must be easier to report. Religious and com mu nit y leaders must provide ways for their followers to meet others who are different from them. Parents and teachers must instill respect for others. Lt. Governor Sheila Oliver issued an Executive Order establishing an Interagency Task Force to Combat Youth Bias. This group will have representatives from eight state agencies and be chaired by Apter. They will provide recommendations to the governor and attorney general. A Youth Bias Task Force will study the roots of hate, evaluate how it is being handled now, and make changes as necessary.

More than 300 additional agencies, including the New Jersey State Police, are expected to join the annual statewide traff ic safety effort aimed at reducing highway crashes. “The risks of driving under the inf luence of drugs or alcohol are enormous and the consequences are tragic,” said Attor ney General Gurbir S. Grewal. “With rideshare apps and other forms of public transportation readily available, there’s no excuse for anyone to get behind the wheel impaired.” Statistics show that in 2017, driving while under the inf luence of either alcohol or dr ugs was a contributing factor in more than 25 percent of the 591 fatal crashes that occurred on New Jersey roadways. Those 158 alcohol/ drug-related crashes killed 174 people. During a f ive-year period between 2013 and 2017, 678 individuals were k illed in alcohol-related crashes in the state. “Impaired driving remains one of the biggest traff ic safety threats in New Jersey and combat ting it is a yearround priority in our state,” said Eric Heitmann, Director of the Division of Highway Traff ic Safety. “As we head into the f inal weeks of summer and the busy Labor Day driving weekend, our off icers will be stepping up those ef for t s , work i ng longe r hou r s a nd increasing sobriety checks to keep intoxicated drivers off the road. If you’re out there driving under the inf luence of drugs or alcohol, the odds are we’re going to stop you and ar rest you.” Last year, the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaig n yielded over 1,196 impaired driving ar rests, 4,764 speeding summonses, and 3,194 seat belt citations.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Taking Action Against Obesity
Dear Joel, I am seriously overweight. As a 43 year-old woman, I can’t believe what I have done to myself. When I was younger I had a beautiful body and now look like an inflated balloon. My husband doesn’t seem to mind but I walk around feeling embarrassed with the way I look. I no longer look good in anything, new clothes that I buy yet do nothing to change my situation. What can I do? Answer: When we are in situations such as yours, we have a tendency to feel sorry for ourselves rather than do anything about it. You have choices to make. You can either go on feeling badly about yourself or take control of your situation. I must remind you that when I write this column I am simply a friend to my readers. I am neither a doctor or have formal training in mental health. That being said it is important to me that you see a physician about your condition. You may be at risk for heart disease and diabetes. Both are at epidemic proportions in our country. As you may know, most diets fail. I do, however, have faith in two organizations for people such as yourself and so many others who
suffer with you. Weight Watchers (of which I am a member) does a fantastic job of helping people who have weight challenges. Another organization is Overeaters Anonymous. These are inexpensive ways of working toward having a happier life. You may want to visit either as a guest. Weight Watchers has a philosophy of changing one’s lifestyle with a benefit of weight reduction. I am not a believer in starting exercise and diet at the same time. I feel that your chances of sticking with both are greater if you start either one a month or two apart. Lastly, as I’m sure you are aware, this is a chicken-and-egg story. It may be that you are unhappy or depressed and use your obesity as a way of expressing it. In other words, it is the opposite of what you describe. I wish you well. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Add A Touch Of Southern Hospitality To This Summer Meal By Wolfgang Puck SUMMER SWEET CORN FRITTERS Makes about 4 dozen Vegetable oil, for deep-frying 1 large ear fresh sweet corn 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1/2 cup (125 mL) buttermilk 1/2 cup (125 mL) milk 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) finely ground yellow polenta 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 2 teaspoons kosher salt Dipping sauce, optional Fill an electric thermostat-controlled deep fryer with oil, or pour about 2 inches (5 cm) of oil into a deep heavy cast-iron skillet on your stovetop. Heat the oil to 365 F (185 C) on the deep fryer’s thermostat or on a deep-frying thermometer. Also preheat the oven to 300 F (150 C) and place a wire rack on a baking sheet in the oven. Meanwhile, prepare the fritter mixture, starting with the fresh sweet corn. Remove the husks and all traces of silk from the ear of corn. Then, working on a slip-resistant work surface, use your non-dominant hand to hold the corn by its stem end, steadying it on the work surface at a 45-degree angle, with its other end point away from you and resting on the work surface. With your
other hand holding a sharp knife, cut the kernels from the ear several rows at a time by cutting away from yourself downward along the ear and parallel to the cob. After each cut, rotate the ear slightly so that more kernels are exposed to cut. Transfer all the kernels to a mixing bowl. Add the eggs, buttermilk, milk and melted butter to the corn kernels. Stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined. Set aside. In another mixing bowl, combine the polenta, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir with a whisk until thoroughly combined. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir just until thoroughly combined, with no dry streaks. As soon as the oil reaches the target frying temperature, use a tablespoon to scoop up the batter in heaping spoonfuls, very carefully dropping each into the oil near the surface and working in batches so you don’t overcrowd the oil. Cook the fritters until they are evenly deep golden brown, about 4 minutes, using a wire skimmer or slotted metal spoon to turn them over occasionally. Use the wire skimmer or slotted spoon to remove each fritter, sprinkling it with some salt as it comes out, and drain on paper towels. Continue frying the remaining batter, while transferring the drained fritters to the wire rack on the baking sheet in the oven to keep them warm and crispy. When all the fritters are done, transfer them to a plate or basket and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
