Celebration Of Hope Held On Seaside Heights Boardwalk
By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – It was a day of hope and support for those affected by addiction during the 6th Annual Celebration of Hope held at the borough’s boardwalk. Under the blue sky, mild temperature and sunshine, a sea of yellow shirted participants lined up
on the Hiering Avenue boardwalk for the event, sponsored by Hope Sheds Light on Sept. 7. Hope Sheds Light was started after the Rosetto family lost their son Marc in 2012 to a hardfought battle against substance abuse and heroin experimentation.

By Kimberly Bosco All along the Jersey Shore today, locals reminisce about that major storm of 2012, calling it “Sandy,” like a familiar old friend. But Superstorm Sandy was no friend to the Jersey Shore. Let’s look at the figures: A 2013 survey conducted by Monmouth University in the wake of Superstorm Sandy estimated that 56 percent of New Jersey coastal homes and businesses suffered great damage from the storm. Of that number, one in ten reported that their property was totaled. A five-year anniversary report by CNBC counted 117 lives lost to Sandy from the Jersey Shore up through New York, as well as $62 billion in damage. The Monmouth University survey additionally measured the preparation factor, claiming that 62 percent of New Jersey coastal residents were completely caught off guard by the strength of Superstorm Sandy, reporting that it was much more serious than they had expected. One can glean from these f igures that Superstorm Sandy
slammed into the Jersey shore with a force that we were somewhat unprepared for and wreaked a devastating amount of havoc that has taken us years to recover from. It is now 2019, seven years after Sandy’s wrath. Most towns and communities have made a full recovery from Sandy. The question is now this: “Are we prepared for the next one?” Hurricane Season Hurricane season along the east coast lasts from June 1 through November 30, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). NHC data collected between 1966 and 2009 on the progress of the average Atlantic hurricane season shows that by the end of the annual hurricane season, the east coast on average will have seen approximately 11 “named systems” and six hurricanes, two of which were category three or higher. While Atlantic hurricane season kicks off in June, it doesn’t typically ramp up until the end of August or early September, NHC (Sandy - See Page 8)

discussed some of what’s new to the district this year, including changes to the curriculum, security, and technology, among others. Curriculum According to Lee Bruzaitis of the Manchester School District, new math and mindfulness programs will be debuted at the elementary levels. “A new elementary math program, Ready Classroom Mathematics, is being implemented this year for grades two to five, and piloted in kindergarten and grade one,” Bruzaitis stated. The new math program will focus on real world authentic connections, mathematical practices, problem solving, discourse and collaboration. Bruzaitis noted that the curriculum incorporates “highly personalized” instruction to meet the needs of all students. At the elementary and middle school levels, students will experience new social-emotional learning/mindfulness programs. These programs will “address social emotional learning and character development, as well as to support students in making positive and constructive decisions.” Teachers will engage with students in activities, such as breathing techniques, movements, and awareness strategies, that are designed to bring mindfulness into the life of the teacher, learner, and classroom setting. The General’s
Security On the security front, Manchester Schools recently added additional security cameras to the middle school and high school. The school bus camera program will continue, added Bruzaitis. Manchester Township High School students will be saying goodbye to School Resource Officer, Chris Cerullo, who is leaving his position at the high school for a promotion. SRO Cerullo will be replaced by SRO Victoria Raub. MTHS also has two civilian security personnel, added in 2016. In addition, two Class III officers, John Zupan and Rick Pasqualini, will be joining the team. “They are retired police officers, paid by the school district, who will carry weapons. They will move as needed between the
middle school and elementary schools,” said Bruzaitis. Technology The district has also invested in new technology equipment, replacing 1,425 Chromebooks and 200 laptops over the summer, as well as installing new phones in every high school classroom. “The goal is to expand this district-wide,” Bruzaitis said. Bruzaitis also noted that the district is making efforts to go paperless, “with many more documents and forms being made available online and through the Genesis Parent Portal and Google Classroom.” The Genesis Parent Portal is a safe and secure site used by many districts that allows parents to view student information. In Manchester, the portal is used for students in grades 6-12. Another one of Trethaway’s goals is to expand this to include grades 1-5 by later this year. Facilities Over the summer, infrastructural improvements included flooring and roofing work, painting, ceiling tile replacement, and the replacement of the fuel tanks at the bus depot. According to Trethaway, the district is looking to convert the former Middle School Woodshop into a District Technology/Conference facility. A timeline for the completion of this project has not yet been made. Trethaway also noted that he wants to look into making upgrades to the bleachers at the
football complex as well as the possibility of moving the Building and Grounds Main Facility to MTHS. Also, students will start to see some new menu options as the district has contracted with a new food service provider, Pomptonian. What’s New? Manchester Township High School students will now have a newly outfitted STEM classroom, “thanks in part to a $15,000 grant from the Manchester Township Educational Foundation (MTEF),” said Bruzaitis. The school will also offer a ‘Business Academy’ course with concentrations in marketing, finance and administration. Local Girl Scout and MTHS junior Rory Dunckley has made great headway on her “Hawks pride” project which was to install a paver walkway at the entrance of the football complex that spells out ‘Hawks’. Manchester Township Middle School students will have to make sure to be on time, as the administration plans on stepping up their attendance initiative in order to reduce chronic absenteeism. “They will also implement a new social-emotional lear ning/mindfulness program and plan to offer new drama and music course options in the fourth quarter,” said Bruzaitis. Ridgeway Elementary School is focusing its efforts on wellness and positivity with the continuation of its Wellness Wednesdays program. A recent Girl Scout project also decorated the walls with positive quotes

Superintendent David Trethaway also outlined his main goals for this school year, including those for the new and existing curriculum. He plans to monitor the new elementary math program, Ready Classroom Mathematics, through data collection, as well as used data collected to target areas of “need and strength.” Trethaway also wants to continue working with the Director of Curriculum and Director of Special Services and Principals “to expand and improve tiered system of support to provide targeted interventions for classroom teachers and to provide input in identifying and meeting the needs of all students including Basic Skills and Special Education students,” according to the superintendent.

Hope:
Continued From Page 1 Feeling isolated and unable to find the help they needed during Marc’s struggles, they formed the non-profit group to provide direction, resources and hope for recovery and to also share personal experiences to assist with long-term recovery. Marc’s father, Ron Rosetto, joined Arvo Prima, Stephen Willis and Pamela Capaci in forming the group. Heather Price, volunteer coordinator for the organization said “we had about 1,500 people signed up for pre-registration and we expect around 2,500 today. We have 45 exhibitors, speakers and special guests.” The walkers took to the boardwalk for a two-mile trek. Registration was $10 and included the bright yellow T-shirt which featured the word ‘hope.’ 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.”

The Manchester Times, September 14, 2019, Page 5 She added that through events like this, the community comes together to learn about addiction and celebrate recovery and provide hope to those affected. Freeholder Virginia Haines thanked those who came out to the event. She was joined by Freeholder Gary Quinn who also took part in the walk. Haines said that the organization has helped aid those affected by “this horrible opioid epidemic. Thanks to this organization the victims know they are loved and there is progress here for them.” “Thanks to organizations like this, the Ocean County Health Department, the Ocean County Freeholders and our local police departments we are making progress,” Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said regarding the opioid crisis’s impact in Ocean County. It was Price’s own story however that many in the crowd found the most inspiring. “I grew up using as a teen. I am in long term recovery and I know how important it is to share my own message of hope. Recovery is real and I’m living proof,” Price said.
“My dad died at 45 years old due to his alcoholism. I was 23 at the time and a new mom. I had two young children and I was drinking and taking pills…My husband was going to take my boys so I started a nine-month program. I went back to California and picked up my old habits.” “My aunt killed herself and was using alcohol. I stopped for a while during my third pregnancy but I went back to it,” Price said. Price said it took a car accident involving her young daughter to get her back into treatment. “I was going to lose my daughter to the state. I knew I had to do something. It took the possibility of losing my daughter to make a change. I had reached bottom,” Price said. She added that now she is not using and two of her three children live with her in Bayville and that “I am now in a loving relationship and am proud to be a volunteer coordinator.” Rob Murtagh, Brick, spoke about being the father of two children with addiction problems. “I’ve lived with this for 30 years.”
Murtagh said he lost one son to addiction and shared that “if how you feel is based on how someone else is going, I know how you are feeling. The hardest thing to do is to let go. We will be there but we won’t tell you what to do. You have to make your own choices. “The toughest thing is watch people suffer because of their addiction. The most wonderful feeling is watching their recovery,” Murtagh said. Willis said the organization holds regular meetings for families impacted by addiction and since May 2016 those meetings have involved more than 4,500 people. The event included a “Tree of Hope” which served to remember those lost to addiction. The group will soon open a new community recovery center in Toms River that will offer “peer-based recovery services, family support groups, social activities, yoga, tai chi, resume writing and help with legal issues,” Willis said.

take part in a new mindfulness program called “Dragon Masters,” representing their school mascot. Similar to MTHS, the Regional Day School is developing its very own MakerSpace/STEAM lab with a $15,000 grant from the MTEF. A second preschool class will also be added. Whiting Elementary School will debut
its outdoor classroom that was built with the help of a $10,000 PSEG/Sustainable Jersey for Schools outdoor classroom grant. As we roll into another school year, let us not forget the recent cuts to state aid that many local school districts have been suffering from. Trethaway added that another main priority is monitoring the district’s funding schedule for the next 5-7 years
to address the cuts. This process will also include a review and revision of a “Strategic Plan” to prioritize and address needs within budget constraints.

Sandy:
Continued From Page 1 data shows. The US Department of Homeland Security’s website Ready.gov emphasizes that hurricanes are most active September. “Potential threats from hurricanes include powerful winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, coastal and inland flooding, rip currents, tornadoes, and landslides.” Superstorm Sandy began as a hurricane (aka tropical cyclone) but was later renamed to “Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy,” according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). “But to those whose lives were devastated – it will always be remembered as super storm Sandy,” stated the NOAA. Whereas a few months back the NOAA called for a “near-normal” hurricane season in 2019, this has recently been upgraded to “above-average.” The NOAA defines near-normal as a dozen named storms and six hurricanes, three of which reach the category 3 level. On August 8, a notice from the NOAA informed that “conditions are now more favorable for above-normal hurricane activity,” which means we can expect anywhere from 10 to 17 named storms, five to nine hurricanes. Hurricane Preparation Hurricane preparedness means being informed. The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) published a guide on “How to Prepare for a Hurricane,” which splits hurricane response into three categories: Now, During, and After. The “Now” calls for preparation: Sign up for local alerts and warnings: You can sign up for severe weather alerts and hurricane specific information from the National Weather Service at weather.gov/enterprise/. The National Weather Service (NWS) provides alert and warning information through official dissemination sources, including NOAA Weather Radio, NOAA Weather Wire Service, and Weather.gov to the public. You can also sign up for Nixle alerts from your local police department or sheriff’s department for information closer to home. Prepare to evacuate: Test your emergency communication plans, learn evacuation routes, have a place to stay. The NJ Office of Emergency Management offers up information on evacuation routes all over the state at ready.
nj.gov/plan-prepare/evacuation-routes.shtml. Have a “go bag”: Ready.gov outlines the necessities for the Basic Disaster Supplies Kit as: • Water - one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation • Food - at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food • Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert • Flashlight • First aid kit • Extra batteries • Whistle to signal for help • Dust mask to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelterin-place • Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation • Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities • Manual can opener for food • Local maps • Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery For the extra-prepared, additional emergency supplies can include prescription medications, pet food, travelers’ checks, important family documents, or sleeping bags, among other items. A full list can be found at ready.gov/ build-a-kit. Stock emergency supplies: As with the “go bag” make sure to have the necessary supplies on hand in the event of an emergency. Protect critical documents and records: • FEMA recommends safeguarding the following documents in a fireproof lock box or safe, a safety deposit box or something as simple as a three-ring binder. • Vital Records: Driver’s licenses, birth certificates, adoption papers, Social Security cards, passports, citizenship papers, marriage license, divorce decrees, child custody papers, current military ID, military discharge (DD Form 214), medical and vaccination records for pets along with current photos and ID chip numbers in case you are separated. • Insurance Policies: have at least the policy number and insurance company contact information for each type of coverage. • Property Records: Real estate deeds of trust and mortgage; rental agreement or lease; auto/boat/RV registration and titles; video, photos or a list of household inventory. • Medical Information: Immunization and other medical records, prescription information (drug name and dosage), health insurance identification cards, physician names

and phone numbers, powers-of-attorney for health care, and living wills. • Estate planning documents: Wills, trusts, funeral instructions, powers-of-attorney, attorney names and phone numbers. • Financial records: First two pages of your previous year’s federal and state tax returns, stock and bond certificates, investment records, brokerage and retirement account information, credit card, checking and savings account numbers, contact information for credit unions, banks, financial institutions, credit card companies and financial advisers. FEMA’s “During” protocol simply follows one credo: Survive. This means: • Follow guidance from local authorities • Evacuate if necessary • Move to higher ground • Steer clear of windows, seek shelter • Never walk or drive in flooded waters • Call 9-1-1 if in danger. Lessons Learned On the local level, many officials believe we have learned a lesson from Sandy and are more equipped to weather the next storm. Ocean County: Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said county staff train and prepare throughout the year for any kind of emergency. For example, a shelter in place drill. A significant part of planning has to do with keeping lines of communication open between local and regional emergency teams, so that everyone is on the same page. When there are hurricane warnings, there are certain protocols that are called into effect. There are pictures and video taken of the shoreline before an impending storm to compare it to any kind of erosion that might take place, he said. This way, if there is a beach replenishment program, they know what to do in order to get the shoreline back to pre-storm conditions. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a volunteer organization that would be called into duty to maintain the shelters. Throughout the year, they regularly check in on vehicles that are only called in on an emergency, like the surplus military troop transport. They are started up and maintained because if they lay dormant too long, they might not work when they are needed, he said. Southern Ocean: Stafford Township, located right off the bridge to Long Beach Island, was one of many southern Ocean County towns to be hit hard by Sandy. Stafford Township’s Police Chief Thomas Dellane, who also serves as the township’s Emergency Management Coordinator, believes Stafford is prepared for the next blow, whenever that may be. “Our Emergency Operations Plan has been developed in conjunction with both the NJ State Police and Ocean County Offices of Emergency Management,” said Dellane. “The plan is a living document that addresses issues such as continuity of operations planning, evacuations and sheltering and is updated on a regular basis.” Stafford’s emergency plan was implemented during both Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Irene. In the aftermath, officials took a look at how the plan worked well and where it might have failed.
“Debriefings after both events identified areas where we could strengthen our performance and modifications were made to improve the delivery of services to our residents,” Dellane explained. For example, since Sandy, Stafford noticed the need for improvement in communications and information technology. Both of these were upgraded after Hurricane Irene and again after Superstorm Sandy, said Dellane. The township also discovered that its fleet of military surplus Humvees designated for evacuation purposes was not up to par when put to the test. “We discovered during Superstorm Sandy that these vehicles were not appropriate to evacuate residents from flooded areas of town. After the storm we upgraded the vehicles to 5 ton military surplus vehicles that were acquired at no cost to the township,” Dellane explained. “These vehicles are much more appropriate for high water rescues and evacuations.” Similar to federal agencies like FEMA and Homeland Security, Dellane asserts that staying informed is the best method of preparation. “Part of the preparation for the public is to create a communications plan that entails keeping a written record of all important phone numbers and designating an individual outside of the state to serve as a family point of contact in case people become separated during the storm,” he said. Dellane added that it was as recent as this year that Stafford Police assisted in reconnecting a local family with close friends whose home was lost during Superstorm Sandy. “The friends lost all their possessions in the storm including their cell phones and were forced to relocate to temporary housing after the storm and they had not communicated in over 5 years since the storm,” he said. In order to be informed, residents can register their phones with the Code Red Emergency Notification system at staffordnj.gov/302/ Emergency-Notification-System. This was implemented as yet another improvement following Sandy after officials realized that the township’s Code Red Emergency Notification system phone number database only included landline telephone numbers. “As a result, our evacuation orders were not reaching everyone in the affected areas of town. Since that time, we have conducted an information campaign to spur residents to register their cell phones to receive Code Red Emergency Notifications,” said Dellane. In addition, Dellane strongly suggest putting together your own hurricane kit. “The kit should include the basics such as a battery operated radio/tv, flashlights, water and food. The kit should also include important papers such as birth certificates, marriage records, insurance policies and an inventory (with photos) of household goods,” said Dellane. “Residents are also encouraged to maintain a quantity of cleanup and repair supplies such as mops, cleaning supplies and plastic trash bags as these items will be hard to locate after a serious storm event.” Northern Ocean: Farther north in Ocean County, Paul Daley, Office of Emergency Management Coordinator for Toms River, asserts that Toms River too is prepared for another Sandy. “Toms River Township has done many things (Sandy - See Page 11)

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER To Tackle Climate Change We Need to Rethink Our Food System The way we produce, consume and discard food is no longer sustainable. That much is clear from the newly released UN climate change report which warns that we must rethink how we produce our food – and quickly – to avoid the most devastating impacts of global food production, including massive deforestation, staggering biodiversity loss and accelerating climate change. While it’s not often recognized, the food industry is an enormous driver of climate change, and our current global food system is pushing our natural world to the breaking point. At the press conference releasing the Special Report on Climate Change and Land, report co-chair Eduardo Calvo Buendía stated that “the food system as a whole – which includes food production and processing, transport, retail
consumption, loss and waste – is currently responsible for up to a third of our global greenhouse gas emissions.” In other words, while most of us have been focusing on the energy and transportation sectors in the climate change fight, we cannot ignore the role that our food production has on cutting emissions and curbing climate change. By addressing food waste and emissions from animal agriculture, we can start to tackle this problem. How do we do that? Livestock production is a leading culprit – driving deforestation, degrading our water quality and increasing air pollution. In fact, animal agriculture has such an enormous impact on the environment that if every American reduced their meat consumption by just 10 percent - about 6 ounces per week – we would save approximately 7.8 trillion gallons of water. That’s more
than all the water in Lake Champlain. We’d also save 49 billion pounds of carbon dioxide every year – the equivalent of planting 1 billion carbon-absorbing trees. What’s more, to the injury from unsustainable food production, we add the insult of extraordinary levels of food waste: nearly one third of all food produced globally ends up in our garbage cans and then landfills. We are throwing away $1 trillion worth of food, or about half of Africa’s GDP, every single year. At our current rates, if food waste were a country, it would be the world’s third-largest carbon emitter after the U.S. and China. To ensure global food security and sustainable food practices in an ever-growing world, we need to reexamine our food systems and take regional resources, such as land and water availability, as well as local economies
and culture into account. To start, the United States and other developed countries must encourage food companies to produce more sustainable food, including more plant-based options, and educate consumers and retailers about healthy and sustainable diets. Leaders must create policies that ensure all communities and children have access to affordable fruits and vegetables. And we all can do our part to reduce food waste, whether it’s in our company cafeterias or our own refrigerators. Technology also plays a part. Developed countries should support and incentivize emerging innovative technologies in plant-based foods, as well as carbon-neutral or low-carbon meat production. Developing countries, on the other hand, face high levels of undernutrition, as well as limited access to
healthy foods. Many nutrient-dense foods (such as fruits, vegetables and quality meats) are highly perishable, often making prices significantly higher than ultra-processed, nutrient-poor and calorie-dense foods. The high cost of nutrient-dense foods creates a significant barrier to healthy diets, as seen in urban Malawi and many other countries. By promoting enhanced production of healthy and nut r it ious food s wh ile also improving markets in low-income countries, we can lower prices and increase accessibility of healthy and sustainable diets. Politicians can also tackle systemic inequalities by redirecting agricultural subsidies to promote healthy foods, as well as investing in infrastructure like rural roads, electricity, storage and cooling chain. Change must happen at
every level if we want to build a better food system. International participation and resource-sharing can spread regional solutions across countries. And working for change at the ground level - among individuals, communities, local and federal governments and private entities - can help fight hunger and food inequality firsthand. Yes, our food system is broken, but not irrevocably so. The challenges are enormous, but by understanding the problem and potential solutions, we can effect critical changes in the ways we produce, consume and dispose of food.
‘fake news.’ The daily drumbeat and talking points reflect their liberal agenda and left wing ideology. Between the conspiracy theorists on MSNBC, fake news CNN, and other media outlets. This is why some people believe all the nonsense spewing from their mouths. These pun-dents are not journalists; just opinionated analysts, arm of the Democrat Party - feeding misinformation as they spin, twist and take everything out of context. I see excerpts daily of their lies and deception while naive viewers have bought into the mantra hook, line, and sinker. Media doesn’t report the news; just the narrative to advance their political agenda. All the left has in their little ‘bag of tricks’ is to play the ‘race card’ 24/7. Racism is a cheap political trick! They have nothing else. Finally, we have a strong leader in the White House who’s not afraid to take on the establishment as well as the countries who have been taking advantage of the U.S. for decades. This is
why Trump was elected in the first place; to drain the ‘swamp’ and ‘Make America Great Again,’ especially after the abysmal eight years of the Obama presidency. He (Obama) didn’t have to deal with media bias as they coddled and protected him every step of the way. Remember their soft ball questions unlike the gotcha questions hurled at Trump. Obama had the liberal media, Hollywood elites and the entertainment business all supporting him. President Trump has been doing a helluva job in spite of all the setbacks and resistance from the left with their radical progressive ideology. For the past three years, the biased media has deliberately refused to report his accomplishments - doesn’t fit their narrative. For the record, Trump doesn’t take a salary – gives it all to charitable organizations. He will prevail despite all the mudslinging and blatant anti-Trump bias.

Letters To The Editor Girls Bullying Just As Big A Problem As Boys
The other day I was speaking with the mothers of some Manchester students. We were talking, specifically, about the bullying of a few young girls at the middle school. One of the women was in tears because of the way her daughter had
Letters To and The Editor Silent Majority been treated this past school the ‘clique’ of girls, who term by some girls in her class. Almost immediately, another mother related that this had also happened to her daughter. Both mothers had individually brought the treatment of their children to the attention of the administration at the school. Unfortunately, the mothers felt that their complaints fell on ‘deaf’ ears. In fact, their daughters were reprimanded

had abused them verbally, were not even questioned about the various incidents that had ‘allegedly’ taken place. One mother removed her child from the school. The other said she would pursue the problem on the reopening of school. We forget that girls as well as boys can be bullies. We have often heard about ‘mean girls.’ In fact, there is a movie about a group like that. We tend to not pay much attention to girls’ arguments, because these arguments rarely become physical. However, the emotional fallout for young girls can be just as devastating as being punched in the face! Both mothers felt that there was no follow-up and discussion about the problem, and that a professional awareness was lacking in the attitude of the teachers. Bullying, no matter by whom, is unacceptable. Perhaps our Boards of Education should place this problem on an in-service schedule this coming year. Dolores Corte Lomega Manchester
Should Stand Up Vs. Media Bias
The time has come for the silent majority to stand up against the daily thrashing against President Trump by liberal media bias and the leftists on Capital Hill. Their contempt and hatred towards a sitting president is disgraceful. The anti-Trump media with their abusive rhetoric makes my head spin and reading commentary and letters written in the Asbury Park Press is mind-boggling. They all promote the same propaganda and talking points. I’ve never encountered such belligerent, nasty, slanderous bigotry towards a sitting president. Wonder why he punches back! If you rely solely on the liberal mainstream media, you’re doing yourselves a disservice - they only tell you what they want you to know; no more, no less. The sick corrupt media is poisoning the hearts and minds of Americans with

Sandy:
Continued From Page 8 since Sandy to enhance safety and response to any type of manmade or natural disasters… The township has strengthened many areas,” Daley said. For example, many homes rebuilt since Sandy have been constructed according to “today’s standards and laws.” “Depending on if a house is in a flood zone….It may be built much higher to withstand flooding,” said Daley. Officials also built the streets higher, the Army Core of Engineers rebuilt the beach and dune system to protect the barrier island and main land from flooding, Toms River Emergency Services purchased several high water rescue vehicles, and fire departments have made improvements to their Swift Water Rescue Training, he added. Schools have also become better equipped to act as emergency shelters, staffed with personnel that have undergone hundreds of hours of training to learn how to run shelters. The township also effectively disseminates information through social media and Nixle alerts to over 5,000 followers. Informing the public is a priority on the township’s part, but residents too must do their part, Daley emphasized. “Residents need to take responsibility. Make a plan. Speak to your family about what ifs. Know evacuation routes. Listen for emergency alerts. If you are asked to evacuate please do so. Have a plan for pets. Check on neighbors and the elderly,” Daley said. “Go to FEMA.gov. They have the tools to help you make plans and can help in many ways to prepare. Our office has many different kinds of preparedness materials. They can call 732-341-3267 and request assistance.” Monmouth County: Several municipalities in Monmouth County have followed suit, such as Howell Township. According to Howell’s Director Office of Emergency
The Manchester Times, September 14, 2019, Page 11 Management, Victor Cook, the township is fully capable of handling the next hurricane that rolls in. Since Sandy, Howell Township has made improvements to its levy and dams, established a Temporary Debris Management area to remove any debris that is causing a hazard, and opened a state-of-the-art emergency operation center within town hall, said Cook. “This EOC has generator backup and serves as a backup communication center for Police/ fi re and EMS dispatching and 9-1-1 call answering,” he added. In terms of basic hurricane preparedness, Cook noted that Howell has generators placed at all the critical infrastructures within the township. These generators are located “strategically along the Route 9 corridor to keep the signals operational and traffic flowing during the disaster.” Much like Stafford and Toms River, Howell’s main priority also is keeping residents informed through social media and Nixle alerts. “The Township keeps it residents informed of the impending storm as soon as it becomes available and updates are pushed out as warranted,” Cook said. “The Township’s main concern is keeping the residents informed and safe during the storm, by opening the roads as quickly as possible, restoring power, and sheltering the residents that have been displaced. We also work valiantly with the residents and FEMA to get the Township restored as quickly as possible.” The township can only do so much to prepare for the storm; where they cannot serve residents, they advise residents to serve themselves by stocking up on food, water, and generators for at least three days, and heeding officials’ advice. “The advice to be given to the residents is to listen to local government, about evacuations, follow the track of the impending storm, and safety warnings that are transmitted to the residents by the above communication methods the township uses,” Cook said. -Chris Lundy contributed to this story

Ocean, Monmouth County Districts Receive Free Pre-K Funding
NEW JERSEY –Governor Phil Murphy recently announced that 28 more school districts will be receiving state aid to implement or expand quality early childhood education programs in their communities by October 1. The addition of 28 districts means that approximately 1,450 additional children across the State will attend a quality preschool this school year.
Two districts from Monmouth County and two from Ocean County will be among the 28 districts receiving funding. In Monmouth County, Farmingdale will receive $157,764 and Ocean Twp. will receive $586,772. In Ocean County, Ocean Twp. will receive $971,584 and Tuckerton will receive $679,140. The announcement continues the campaign
to deliver quality early childhood education programming to more and more schools in the state. Last school year, Governor Murphy announced funding to bring high-quality preschool programs to 64 additional school districts. This year, Governor Murphy’s Fiscal Year 2020 state budget committed an additional $20 million for Preschool Education Aid.

“New Jersey has long been considered a leader in early childhood education, and I am proud that we are now bringing about the greatest growth in preschool that this state has seen so far this century,” said Governor Murphy, who made today’s announcement in Union City, a community that has a deep history of providing quality preschool programs to 3 and 4-year-old children. “Educating our children at this critical age will give them a strong start in academics and a desire to learn.” “High-quality preschool is one of the best investments we can make to prepare young minds for academic success,” said Cary Booker, Assistant Commissioner of Early Childhood Education at DOE. “Research tells us that quality preschool programming can be a powerful indicator of success throughout out a child’s schooling, and it continues to have a positive ripple later in life.” High-quality preschool programs are identified as transitioning to a full-day program, with a certificated teacher, an aide, small class sizes, and inclusive of children with special needs who have an individualized education program. The 28 school districts implementing or expanding to high-quality preschool programs this school year have at least 20 percent of their student population receiving free or reduced lunch or had been receiving partial state funding to address pockets of poverty.

Looking Out For Your Ears: 4 Quick Winter Tips
Are you winter-ready? From moisture and colder temps to snowball fights and sports events, Jack Frost can dish out a host of challenges for your ears and hearing aids. We’re sharing four tips to help you seize the fun and excitement of the season while keeping your ears and hearing technology safe and sound: 1. WATCH OUT FOR NOISE Heading out for a hunting trip, a hockey game, or snowblowing chores? Remember your hearing protection. Some 12% or more of people worldwide may have hearing loss related to noise* , one of the most preventable causes. Well-fitting earplugs, headphones, or earmuffs help soften excessively loud sounds and can even be customized to your ears. 2. STAY WARM AND DRY Keeping chilly air and water off your ears is more than just a comfort issue. Overexposure to severe cold, wind, or moisture could cause problems. Take cover with a hat and scarf or earmuffs in especially cold conditions, and consider customized earplugs if your activities involve water. 3. BEWARE OF EAR INFECTIONS With cold and flu season — and cooler temperatures — comes the increased risk of ear infection. The flu vaccine and handwashing can go a long way toward prevention of cold
and flu, but be sure to seek medical attention if you experience an ear infection. 4. PROTECT YOUR HEARING AIDS Just like your ears, your hearing technology is vulnerable to wind, precipitation, and cold weather. Wearing a hat, scarf, or earmuffs helps protect your devices — including the batteries. Removing the batteries at night and leaving the battery door open also helps cut down on potential moisture and maintain battery life. If you have the newer rechargeable hearing aids, you don’t need to worry about batteries at all. If your winter fun includes outdoor activities or exposure to noise, extreme cold, or moisture, don’t wait. Call us today about custom hearing protection or accessories to protect your hearing aids. We can be reached at 732818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-9788946 (Manahawkin). Please feel free to visit our website: gardenstatehearing.com. *Le TN et al.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
9 Fantastic Reasons To Eat Pumpkin Seeds By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Pumpkins can be white, yellow or green. They’re not all orange! Did you know Antarctica is the only country that can’t grow a pumpkin? One average sized pumpkin can impart about a cup of seeds, about 500 seeds. I like to roast mine and sprinkle them with a little dried lime powder and sea salt. These are also excellent when roasted with olive oil and garlic/onion powder. These seeds are not only delicious but also nutrient dense. Here are nine health benefits from eating pumpkin seeds. Diabetes. Thanks to their high fiber content, pumpkin seeds help regulate blood sugar and improve satiety. One study showed that animals who received a combination of ground flax and pumpkin seed powder exhibited better lab values and fewer problems as they pertain to diabetes. Thanks to their alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) content, the seeds can help with heart attack risk. Other foods with ALA content include flaxseed, walnuts, chia and hemp. Blood Pressure. Magnesium (and potassium) is absolutely essential for healthy blood pressure and cardiac rhythm. Pumpkin seeds are particularly high in magnesium. Immunity & Prostate Health. Zinc will help with both immunity and prostate health. An ounce of pumpkin seeds contain enough zinc to help you with immune function, prostate health and even testosterone production. Sleep. A handful of pumpkin seeds at dinnertime might improve your ability to relax and sleep. The reason is because of
the magnesium which helps create more serotonin, which quickly breaks down to melatonin, a sleep hormone. Bladder Infections. Pumpkin seeds contain zinc and other compounds that support bladder and kidney health. There isn’t enough data to say whether it helps UTIs but I would guess that it probably helps reduce incidence. Libido. Pumpkin seeds contain leucine, and also minerals which help you make testosterone. This is great because it improves energy, endurance, libido and strength. Testosterone is needed for both men and women’s health. Bone Health. Zinc, magnesium and selenium deficiencies are harmful to bones. Without these minerals your risk for osteoporosis goes up. Eating pumpkin seeds can help you if you have osteoporosis. Vision. Pumpkin seeds are very high in carotenoids and zinc which protect your vision. Pumpkin seeds contain squalene which protects your skin from UV light damage and other forms of potentially dangerous radiation. Like any food, there is the risk for allergy. If you’re sensitive to pumpkin seeds you might experience stomach pain after eating them, swelling or itching of the throat or skin rashes, hives or eczema-like irritations. You can buy pumpkin seeds at any health food store or supermarket. Store bought pumpkin seeds can be stored in a container for about three or four months. Pumpkin seed oil is great for salads and soups and it is usually sold online or at health food stores.

IS PROUD TO Present...
The 14th Annual
Classic Automobile Show By Kimberly Bosco In honor of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, the Micromedia family asks that you keep the Alice Swann Ovarian Cancer Memorial Fund in mind. Alice Swann, wife of Stewart Swann, President/Publisher of Micromedia Publications, passed away on October 17, 2018 after a four and a half year battle with ovarian cancer. Alice was not only loved and cherished by her close family and friends, but also by her Micromedia family, having served as treasurer here for many years. Alice and Stewart Swann’s daughter Chrissy Morrison is requesting that those who wish to donate, to do so through a special website. Morrison said: “My mother, Alice Swann has been an integral part of Micromedia Publications for many years. Unfortunately, she lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer. As a Registered Nurse, I knew that day was coming, however, it came much sooner than I expected. “Over the course of her illness, I watched my mother endure treatments that kept her in bed for weeks at a time. I spent countless hours in her home administering IV fluids, and medications just to keep her comfortable. My father, Stew Swann waited on her around the clock, because there were days she just couldn’t get out of bed. I can’t tell you how many times I had to drop everything to rush her to her Oncologist, or the Emergency Room due to the many side effects and issues she encountered during her treatments. “Despite everything she went through, she did it all with grace. She continued putting her children and grandchildren ahead of herself when she was able. Even on the day of her death, she was asking for treatment, because she didn’t want to leave her kids. I know in my heart she is in a much better place, and no longer suffering in agonizing pain, but nothing can take away the pain of losing your mother. “I humbly ask you honor her memory with a donation to the Alice Swann Ovarian Cancer Memorial Fund, so others may not have to suffer the same fate as my mother.” Donations to the Alice Swann Ovarian Cancer Memorial Fund, will go to Levine Cancer Institute, can be made at: https://fundraise.atriumhealthfoundation.org/team/237913.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Community Foundation Of South Jersey Receives A $75,000 Major Grant TOMS RIVER – The Community Foundation of South Jersey has been awarded a three-year grant totaling $75,000 for the Transform South Jersey Initiative by OceanFirst Foundation.

All civic leaders, individuals and representatives of local government, community and economic development entities, civic groups and other nonprofit and philanthropic organizations in eligible counties are encouraged to apply, but must register and attend an in-person community workshop before doing so. Interested applicants can find details and register for the workshops at transformsouthjersey.org/get-involved. “This grant from the OceanFirst Foundation came at a pivotal time for Transform South Jersey. Having just started the work to officially launch the initiative, it allowed us the flexibility to enhance program elements and address gaps that became apparent during the planning process. Grants aren’t often structured like this and speak to the Foundation’s grantmaking approach to being a true partner & collaborator,” said Andy Fraizer, Executive Director, Community Foundation of South Jersey.

Dear Joel Certain Foods Can Help Us Stay Calm
Dear Readers: We have all had our days where anger seems to take over. We lash out at the ones we love and feel guilty afterward. They don’t happen too often, here’s hoping, and we usually apologize and forgive (the alternative is to hold a grudge, and feel sad and depressed). It is important to recognize that if this is persistent it could be a disorder of some kind. That being said there are foods that can actually help us in staying calm. I loved this and wanted to share: Kiwis - Kiwis are filled with Vitamin C and actually contain more Vitamin C per fruit than oranges. (Who would a thunk?) Pumpkin Seeds - Thought that they were only popular during the Halloween season? Think again, pumpkin seeds are eaten by Americans all year through. They are filled with Magnesium. They also reduce the effects of anxiety, a known killer to our health. Leafy Vegetables - Another goody loaded with magnesium. Americans enjoy eating iceberg lettuce but there are so many more leafy vegetables now available that are loaded in healthy stuff.
Finally, chamomile tea is almost as good as a kiss good night. It is a great and healthy way to end the day (it is related to the Daisy family) and a nightly cupful can reduce the day’s stress. And for my male readers I am not sure of the nutritional benefits to women but Brazil nuts have a reputation of raising the libido. Now that sounds simple. You can find them in better supermarkets throughout the entire year. They are available without the shell. I especially enjoyed sharing this information in that it is an inexpensive way of reducing stress and anxiety .It is important to remember that if allergies or medications are of concern, please consult your doctor. Wishing you a great week with less stress. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?! Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits! By: Christopher R. Shea, Esq. 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

“We Come To You”

Christopher R. Shea Esq.
critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suit s when t he 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.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE New Details Released For Ocean County Mall Redevelopment
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Driving past the Ocean County Mall on Hooper Avenue, you’ve seen the ongoing construction. Now, more details are starting to take shape. The Sears that used to be the anchor on that side was demolished after the company closed its doors. In its place, mall management announced that a new entrance with different storefronts would be built. The following businesses have announced that they will find a home here: LA Fitness, Ulta Beauty and Homesense. Simon, the mall’s owner, announced that it will unveil the new entrance and plaza with restaurants and retailers, linking to a new lifestyle center on the northern side of the building. It will consist of a tall, illuminated glass entrance with landscaping and lighting to give it a walkable, comfortable environment. Some of the restaurants will have outdoor patios for dining al fresco. “We are incredibly excited to bring new
additions and enhancements to the property, that will allow us to provide an even greater shopping and dining experience to our loyal shoppers,” said Tara Melodick, General Manager at Ocean County Mall. BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse, the pad restaurant, has already opened and seats more than 200. Details were shared on the construction as well. According to Simon, the work has been done with the environment in mind. The center will have native plants and new trees, and green spaces and less impervious surfaces to make sure stormwater goes into the ground. Lighting will be modern and energy efficient, and even the construction company is recycling demolition waste when able. Further updates will be provided on the Ocean County Mall’s social media channels. The project is expected to be complete by 2020.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee
By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides. Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in
addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology. After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the offi ce,
of ten dur ing your initial visit! “We’re very conservative,” D r.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Say Cheese! Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Will Make Kids Happy And (Hopefully) Healthy By Wolfgang Puck
Is it too soon to start talking about sick days? I’m sorry to bring this up, but with two schoolage boys at home, I know firsthand that children everywhere are back to their studies after a summer break. We all want our kids to stay healthy and happy, of course. But it’s hard to avoid the fact that at some point they’ll have to stay home from school. Maybe it’s a cold that’s going around. Or perhaps there is one of those so-called “pupil-free days” when the teachers go to school and get things done that they need to do while the students stay home. Or, just maybe, one of those moments comes when us parents just can’t get out of the house and drag our ailing selves to work. Grown-ups have their sick days too. Regardless, it’s important to be prepared for such times, especially by making sure the ingredients for delicious lunches are at the ready. The goal should be to have on hand whatever you might need to put together a quick and easy meal that is nourishing and delicious. And what better standby could there be than the classic grilled cheese sandwich? I’m always amazed by how quickly one particularly item disappears when my catering team and I create the food for a big party. Our bite-sized grilled cheese sandwiches topped with oven-dried tomatoes fly off the trays. So, what follows is a home-style version of that recipe. It’s basic and simple. Good sliced bread is a must, whether it’s white, wheat, egg-enriched or sourdough. I like to include two different kinds of cheese, cheddar and provolone, to add some extra depth of flavor; but you can feel free to substitute whatever your children’s favorites might be, or use just one cheese. And a little butter helps the sandwich turn a beautiful golden brown while the cheese melts inside. As for the oven-dried tomatoes (which are sealed inside the sandwiches in this version), before you think your kids might turn up their noses at them, remember how many children love ketchup. The easy oven-drying process I explain in my recipe concentrates the flavor of the tomatoes to an almost candy-like sweetness that many young people love; and you could also substitute oilpacked and drained sun-dried tomatoes. Or just leave them out if you’re dealing with a picky eater. Add a bowl of your favorite good-quality soup, and you have a lunch that’s very likely to support the healing process. And it’s also always great for a last-minute weekend lunch for the family! GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES WITH OVEN-DRIED TOMATOES Serves 2 Oven-dried tomatoes (recipe follows) 4 slices good-quality egg bread such as brioche or challah, or white sandwich bread 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 2 slices white cheddar cheese, each about 3/4 ounce (22 g) 2 slices provolone cheese, each about 3/4 ounce (22 g)
Prepare the oven-dried tomatoes ahead of time. Alternatively, place the pieces of sun-dried tomato on a double thickness of paper towels to drain. Preheat a skillet large enough to hold the two full sandwiches over medium heat. You can also make one sandwich at a time if your skillet is smaller. Meanwhile, generously spread one side of each of 2 bread slices with a quarter of the butter. Place those slices buttered side down in the skillet. Place a slice of the cheddar on top of each bread slice in the pan; arrange 4 oven-dried tomato or drained sun-dried tomato pieces evenly on top; and place the provolone over the tomatoes. Place another slice of bread on top of the cheese, and spread the tops with the remaining butter. Cook the sandwiches until their undersides are deep golden brown, about 3 minutes, pressing down on them lightly but firmly with the underside of a metal spatula halfway through that time to compact and seal each sandwich. Use the spatula to turn them over, press down gently again with the spatula, and cook until their other sides are nicely browned and the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes longer. With the spatula, transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut each sandwich diagonally in half and transfer to serving plates. Serve immediately. OVEN-DRIED TOMATOES Makes enough for 2 servings 2 good-quality medium-sized ripe tomatoes 3/4 teaspoon sugar Generous pinch kosher salt Pinch freshly ground white pepper 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 garlic cloves, smashed 2 sprigs fresh thyme Preheat the oven to 300 F (150 C). Line a small baking sheet or baking pan with parchment paper. To peel the tomatoes, bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, on a counter nearby, place a mixing bowl filled with ice cubes and water. With a small, sharp knife, cut out the tomatoes’ cores and, on the opposite, flower end of each, score a shallow X. With a wire skimmer or slotted spoon, lower the tomatoes into the boiling water. As soon as their skins begin to wrinkle, 5 to 15 seconds, use the skimmer or spoon to lift them out and transfer them immediately to the ice water to cool. As soon as the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off and discard their skins, starting at the X and, if necessary, using the knife to help. Cut each tomato into 4 equal wedges through the stem and flower ends. With your finger or a small spoon, scoop out the seeds from each quarter, leaving just a petal-shaped piece of tomato flesh. Place the tomato pieces side by side on the lined baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with the sugar, salt and pepper. Drizzle evenly with olive oil. Place the garlic cloves and thyme sprigs among the tomatoes. Bake the tomatoes until they begin to shrivel and darken in color, about 45 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and set aside. When cool, cover and store in the refrigerator and use within one day.
