Scooter Competition Hits New Heights
2019 Election Race: Town & School Candidates
Community News!
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – As everyone watches politics on the national stage, don’t forget that there are some local elections coming up on Nov. 5. The municipal candidates and board of education candidates for Berkeley and surrounding towns are presented here. Some of the more hotly contested races will be addressed in future articles. Boards of education are, in theory, nonpartisan, so candidates don’t post their political affiliation. Instead, they sometimes come up with slogans.
Don’t miss what’s happening in your town.

(Right) Waiting for their turn, kids did tricks and watched others perform from the sidelines. By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Waiting for their turns, kids did minor tricks and talked, goofed off and fist bumped each other for luck. Meanwhile, the sounds of wheels clapping the ramps provided a chaotic beat
to the music playing. An announcer gave ingame commentary and lead the spectators in cheering the riders on. It was all part of the Jon ma rco Gaydos Scooter Competition, named after a Brick teen who won the 2019
World Scooter Championship. A s for t he adults watching from the sidelines, some were old hat at this and some were being introduced to it for the first time. Last year, Nicole Nagy
came here to support her son’s friend. They had a good time so this year they came out just to watch. Teresa O’Shea came (Scooter - See Page 4)
Local Family Asks For Help Dealing With Illness
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A local family is hoping for help from the local community as they cope with a brain cancer striking a young man in their family. According to their Crowdrise page, Lukas Koenig was coming up on his 20th birthday when he got seriously ill. They thought it was a stomach virus, until the headaches and nausea got worse and his
vision started to become impacted. An examination revealed swelling behind the optic nerves. He was rushed to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, “which became his home for an entire month,” the family wrote. “Lukas was diagnosed with a non-germinomatous germ cell tumor (a rare brain (Fundraiser - See Page 5)
Local Congressman Also Calls For Impeachment
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) is the latest in a list of House members to call for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for impeachment, and many members of Congress – on both sides of the aisle – have supported this. Trump recently admitted that he withheld $400 million in aid to Ukraine. A whistleblower complaint states that it was to try to extort the Ukranian president into digging up dirt on Joe Biden’s son to use in the 2020 campaign. Trump has denied this allegation. Andy Kim is the latest voice on the issue. He released a statement calling for impeachment as well. (Impeachment - See Page 5)

Although, watching it made her very nervous, wanting to catch the riders if they looked like they were going to fall. The Bayville First Aid Squad had an ambulance nearby, and all participants were required to wear protective gear. There were dozens of people (and a few dogs) in attendance. Veterans Park is a big area, and it also hosted Little League games and a collection of food trucks at the same time. This location is welcome to the families in the area, said Jonmarco’s father, John Gaydos. The Incline Club in Lakewood was shut down, later becoming a supermarket, leaving one less place for riders and skaters.

young athletes. Father and son took time out to speak to a reporter during the Pee Wee (9 and younger) portion of the competition. “This sport has nothing to do with age. It’s about persistence and pushing yourself,” the father said. Jonmarco, wearing a World Champ shirt and a brace on his ankle, spent some of the competition watching the younger riders. He liked the direction the competition was heading. “It’s trying to be bigger and better next year. They built a park for everyone to ride and it’s amazing,” he said. He was very humble about having an entire competition named after him. “I’m honored, really,” he said. “It’s definitely difficult when you’re at the top. You’re held to very high standards you have to maintain. I wouldn’t be able to be at the top without the support of everyone today.”
Jenn Bachman was running against him, but she withdrew Aug. 26. So, Gottesman is running unopposed. On the Borough Council, there are two, 3-year terms on the ballot.

“During my time working at the White House National Security Council, I sat in the Oval Office for a number of phone calls with world leaders. I never could have imagined the Commander in Chief on a call putting personal and political gain above our national security,” he said. “This decision does not come easily. My focus as your member of Congress remains on the people of Burlington and Ocean Counties. We have to work to lower health care and prescription drug costs, lower taxes and support our veterans. We have to break through the hyperpartisanship and find real meaningful ways to work across the aisle,” he said. “I have sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution three times in my life. Over the course of my career I worked under both Republicans and Democrats as long as I thought that the leaders who I served were putting our country’s best interests first. Our community in New Jersey is home to tens of thousands of service members and veterans who know better than the rest of us what it means to put country over self,” he said. “It is our duty in Congress to hold the President accountable if that sacred responsibility laid out in the Constitution is violated. The President’s actions and our obligation to the Constitution has led me to this conclusion, and I will work with my colleagues to pursue the truth and defend our Democracy.” Congressmen Chris Smith (R-4th) and Jeff Van Drew (D-2nd) are also in JerseyShoreOnline. com’s coverage area but did not respond by press time.

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

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F eatured L etter Mourning Trees Lost To A Closed Store I’m really bummed at the soon-to-be closing of Whiting’s Walgreens. It’s not that I care about the store itself but I think of those two huge, stately, lovely pine trees which “had” to come down to clear the path for the store. They took decades to grow and now they’re gone forever, all because of a chain’s ar rogant miscalculation that they could prosper right across the street from a firmly established CVS, and in an area where residents have many, many varied options for pharmacies. I’m no “tree hugger,” mind you. I’m not one who would’ve chained myself to the trees while r e cit i ng “ Wo o d m a n , Spare That Tree” and listening to “King of Trees” by Cat Stevens, had I known in advance that the trees were coming down! What I am is a Bible-believing Christian who believes God has given man dominion over the earth but we MUST be good stewards of our resources that He has loaned to us. I was sad when the trees came down a few years
ago but now that Walgreens is going, my sadness has turned to anger. “Thanks,” Walgreens... those amazing trees were already on the corner of Healthy and Happy before you came along! And this is coming from someone who is politically conservative and a capitalist who had his own business up north for 35 years. And now that you’re going, Walgreens, I have a question for you. Can you put those trees back? (Not the midget ones you planted, but “those” trees you took down.) I didn’t think so! “Walls Of Green” You loveliest Walls of Green along came a chain, saw no beauty...nothing serene They decided the Walls must fall And now they are moving on and now, you’re forever gone... -Who do we call?

Letters To The Editor Trump Is Exactly Who Media Says He Is
In response to Carole A. Weidmuller of Manchester (“Silent Majority Should Stand Up Vs. Media Bias,” Sept. 14, 2019) I must totally disagree with her false narrative. First and foremost in your first paragraph, you make statements that Leftists and the Media show contempt and hatred for Trump. You also state that we continue to espouse the same talking points which you say are belligerent, nasty, slanderous, bigoted etc etc. So let me educate you just a little. First of all let’s start from the beginning when he was running for president. He told Billy Bush when you’re famous you can do anything you want. You can grab women by the p***y. Very Presidential don’t you think? On more than one occasion he has cursed on stage in front of children. He also has caused the people who back him to behave in violence. This is not fake news. There is plenty of news footage to verify. Another thing I must point out to you is your lack of saying anything that backs up your whining. You say this media station spews this or this other media says that. But nowhere in your entire letter do you state one fact. Now let’s get to draining the swamp. Trump has done nothing. Unless you want to call giving the most wealthiest people tax breaks while giving the middle-class squat. Farmers are hurting tremendously due to his tariffs and another fact (I know you just love facts) we the people will be paying for the tariffs. Trump also wants to cut Social Security and Medicare. Gee, what a great President, that is if you’re filthy rich. As far as President Obama. How quick you forget the mess George W. Bush left this country and the fantastic job Obama did getting our economy back on track.
Letters To The Editor Most of the kudos Trump these very important con-
Where’s The Tax Plan?
got at the beginning of his Presidency was only due to the work done by Obama. Now things are falling apart. Because of Trump for the first time the deficit will surpass $1 trillion. Trump has proven without a doubt his hatred for immigrants especially those of Hispanic background. His ties to Russia and Putin will eventually be found out. Now the AG’s of New York are subpoenaing his tax records for the last 8 years. Something the con artist had promised to do years ago. Lastly, don’t look at FoxNewless, CNN, MSNBC, or anything related to Sinclair. Do real research and I guarantee you that you will find Trump to be the dirty con artist he truly is.
cerns and they are finally being addressed. Mayor Amato stepped up to the plate recently as Aqua NJ announced their latest proposed rate increase. Mayor Amato testified before the Rate Counsel and made the case in strong opposition to this increase to protect Berkeley residents. I’m returning the favor today by declaring my support for Mayor Amato and the Berkeley Township Council. I urge all Berkeley Township voters to cast their vote this year for Mayor Carmen Amato and his team!

I am a long time resident of Brick Township and I have known John Catalano for many years. I feel that everyone should know the John that I know. John is one of the most intelligent and considerate people I know. He is someone who always goes out of his way to help others. He owns a small business in Brick and his dedication and involvement in the Bobby Buecker Memorial Foundation and the Brick Kiwanis shows that he is a man of service and integrity who truly wants the best for Ocean County and New Jersey. His great mind for business has led him to making smart decisions and success. I am so happy that John is running for the 10th Legislative Assembly seat along with Assemblyman Greg McGuckin, who already has a proven track record. We need representatives like John and Greg in Trenton representing our principles and needs. I hope you will go to the polls on Tuesday, November 5th and vote for Greg McGuckin and John Catalano for Assembly. They are absolutely the right choice!
Monmouth County Freeholders need board members with fresh perspectives. That is why I am voting for Moira Nelson and Michael Penna. Penna is a dedicated educator who works with special needs and “at risk” children, while Nelson, a small business owner, is a leader in substance abuse prevention and both Penna and Nelson are committed to increasing social service funding. For example, they support expanding substance abuse programs, particularly those aiming to reduce the opioid crisis, such as harm reduction approaches. Penna and Nelson are concerned about the environment and advocate long-term, regional environmental planning, including flood mitigation and storm water management. They also will address the issue that Monmouth County’s landfill is nearing capacity and will implement long-term “green” waste management solutions to this problem. As Monmouth County citizens, both are keenly aware of how expensive County taxes are. As Freeholder Board members they will push for an operational audit of each county department and cut the fat. I hope you will join me and vote for Nelson and Penna.

Amato Looks Out For Residents You see and hear so many stories about big businesses raising rates and fees on the general public with little or no regard on public impact or overall quality. These kinds of stories aren’t just for the national or regional news, but it is one for local headlines - in the case of Aqua NJ and Berkeley Township. Aqua Water was looking to increase its rate by almost 19% (18.7 to be exact). For years, I have attended public meetings where the discussion was about the poor water quality the town was experiencing. It was found that there was a high concentration of iron present in the water supply. Many residents were very concerned over this issue. I am happy to say my town officials were just as concerned with these water issues. Mayor Carmen Amato and the entire Berkeley Council spent years applying pressure on the water company to address

This letter was written to Wayne Lewis, who announced his candidacy for New Jersey Assembly in the 9th District. I read your letter announcing your candidacy for the NJ Assembly. Just one thing was missing. Nowhere in your letter did you state what is most important to the citizens of New Jersey: Your plans to lower taxes! If you really want to end the “mass exodus” the lowering citizens tax burden would be the place to start. Mark Shissias Jackson

Be Healthy For Good With Healthy Snacking
NEW JERSEY – A healthy diet and lifestyle are the best weapons in the fight against heart disease, the No. 1 killer of Americans. Healthy For Good is the American Heart Association’s new movement to inspire all Americans to live healthier lives and create lasting change. It focuses on the simple idea that making small, incremental changes today can create a difference for generations to come. Healthy For Good is built on four pillars: Eat smart. Add color. Move more. Be well. When it comes to eating, making smart choices will benefit heart health and overall health. The American Heart Association recommends that you eat a wide variety of nutritious foods daily. Incorporating even simple, small changes can make a big difference in living a healthier life and can help prevent obesity, diabetes, heart disease and stroke. When hunger strikes, it’s a good idea to have healthy snacks nearby to avoid unhealthy temptations. Plan ahead for healthy snacking and include foods rich in fiber (whole grains, nuts, vegetables, and fruits), potassium (oranges, potatoes, cantaloupe) and omega-3 fatty acids (make mix with walnuts, pumpkin seeds and ground flaxseeds to sprinkle on
meals or eat as a snack). Try colorful foods to get antioxidant-rich flavonoids in your diet. “Keeping healthy snacks available at home for your family will help avoid unhealthy and empty-calorie-filled snacking,” said Mandy Unanski Enright, MS, volunteer for the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association and Media Representative for the New Jersey Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “Snacking isn’t ‘bad’ if you do it in moderation. The trick is to plan snacks into your day, watch calories and make healthy choices.” To snack the sensible way, choose nutrient-rich snacks like those listed below. When craving something crunchy try apples, carrot and celery sticks, or radishes. When looking to quench thirst, try water, unsweetened juices or rat-free milk. For “munchy” snacks, try unsalted seeds and nuts, low-fat or fat-free yogurt, low-fat or fat-free cheese. For something sweet, try baked apple, fresh fruit, or a thin slice of angel food cake Join the Healthy For Good movement at heart.org/HealthyForGood for tips, tools and hacks that make healthy living easy.

Donate Your Used Cell Phone To The Troops BERKELEY – Nancy Seibert has been collecting for “Cell Phones for Soldiers” since 2006. She has combined forces with the Berkeley based, “Support the Troops” project and Lloyd Mullikin, who has been sending packages oversea since 2004. Over the past 10 years these projects have worked closely together collecting phones, and mailing packages which include the calling cards to our troops overseas. Cell phones are collected in any condition and sent to a recycler. The profits from the recycling are sent to the organization headquarters in Massachusetts to purchase 60-minute calling cards for our troops overseas so that they may keep in contact with their families during their deployment. To date, there have been over 21,000 phones
collected and over 90,000 free 60-minute calling cards donated through thru our efforts to date. We have various drop sites throughout the area so that donors can drop their phones in them and then we collect them from the sites for recycling. We are also accepting names of soldiers serving overseas to send them calling cards. We will need their name, rank, and military mailing address to mail them a package along with the calling cards. Your participation in the program would be greatly appreciated by the Cell Phones for Soldiers program. If you require more information, please contact Nancy Seibert, project coordinator at 732-606-6040. Thank you on behalf of our soldiers for your donation.

Manage Your High Blood Pressure To Add Five Years To Your Life Expectancy
NEW JERSEY – At age 50, total life expectancy is about five years longer for people with normal blood pressure than for people with hypertension, or high blood pressure. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association encourages everyone to know their blood pressure levels and reduce their numbers and risk, to help live healthier and stronger for an extra five summers, or more. “High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a disease and can have deadly health consequences if not treated,” asserts Dr. Perry Weinstock, member of the Southern NJ American Heart Association and American Stroke Association Regional Board of Directors and Chief of Cardiology at Cooper University Hospital. “It’s sometimes called ‘the silent killer’ because high blood pressure has no symptoms, so you may not be aware that it’s damaging your arteries, heart and other organs.” About 80 million U.S. adults have been diagnosed with high blood pressure. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association encourages everyone to check their blood pressure, which takes just a few minutes at your doctor’s office, at a blood pressure machine located at many local pharmacies or by using a home monitoring device. By knowing your numbers, gauging and managing your risk for high blood pressure, you can help
get those extra summers. The American Heart Association’s High Blood Pressure Health Risk Calculator helps gauge your risk of having a heart attack or stroke and developing heart failure and kidney disease. You’ll also learn how a few lifestyle changes can lower your blood pressure and your health risks, then print your risk report to discuss with your healthcare professional. It’s available online at heart.org/HBPRiskCalc. Science has identified several factors that can increase your risk of developing high blood pressure and thus your risk for heart attack, heart disease and stroke. Risks among certain groups is higher, including African Americans and women, who, starting at age 65, are more likely to have HBP than men. Note that high blood pressure can happen at any age– in fact, children can develop high blood pressure, too. Risk factors for developing high blood pressure, or hypertension, include family history, advanced age, gender-related risk patterns, sedentary lifestyle, poor diet/high-sodium diet, being overweight or obese and drinking too much alcohol. High blood pressure is just one condition that increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. Learn about other heart disease and stroke risk factors at heart.org/risk.

A freeze could stop identity thieves because most (but not all) businesses will not open credit accounts without checking your credit report. A credit freeze does not prevent identity thieves from taking-over your existing account. Set a fraud alert! A fraud alert requires creditors who check your credit report to take steps to verify your identity before opening a new account, issuing additional card or increasing your credit limit on an existing account. A fraud alert is free. You can place an initial alert on your account for 90 days if you have not been a victim of identity theft. The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C.

Consumer Rights And Data Breach The recent data breach by Equifax meant that sensitive personal information for 145 million Americans was potentially exposed, including Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses and, in some instances, driver’s license numbers. This incident has left many consumers wondering how they can protect themselves from identify theft. Monitor your Account Check your financial account transactions regularly. Opt-in for alerts that screen for questionable transactions and opt-in for multifactor authentication. Look for charges that you don’t recognize, even if they were for small amounts. Sometimes scoundrels test the waters with small charges. Be aware of communications claiming to be from credit reporting agency or financial institution. Review Credit Reports By law, all consumers are entitled to a free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion).

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Audiologist Making House Calls
In the old days, many Doctors made house calls to patients when the word “specialist” did not exist. It is extremely rare to see this in the 21st Century, however, there are several select companies that do offer this service such as Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) and/or similar groups. Concierge services are now being offered by certain physician groups whereby you pay an “upfront” fee and you have a more direct channel to the Doctor when you need them. Concierge services clearly exist with Primary Care Physician’s, Internal Medicine, Podiatry, Optometry, Dental, and Veterinary practices. These practices are trying to provide an “exceptional service package” and you pay extra for these services. Garden State Hearing & Balance Center (GSHBC) realizes the importance of extending their hearing care services outside of our three office locations (Toms River, Manahawkin, & Whiting). For example, there are hundreds of residents living in continuing care facilities such as Crestwood Manor, Harrogate, The Pines at Whiting and many others who cannot get out to see their doctors. Many of these facilities bring the healthcare professional to the resident. GSHBC provides these services to many of these facilities, and trust me, the residents are so grateful! Granted, many residents are independent enough to hire transportation to
see their doctors, however, it can become quite expensive to do so. Thus, these continuing care facilities make an effort as part as their value proposition to offer as many on-site healthcare services as possible to their residents. Equally important…there are many folks that are non-ambulatory and find it extremely difficult to leave their home. Many of them are wheel chair bound, on 24/7 oxygen due to COPD and/or have significant health issues. Hearing loss is very prevalent in this type of population and these folks need our help as well. GSHBC has never advertised or promoted this service, even though we have been making “house calls” for over 25 years. In my opinion, there is an increasing need for hearing care services to these specific individuals because our population is living longer and longer. We believe that everyone’s quality of life can be enhanced with improved hearing. We also know that untreated hearing loss in these populations increase the risk of cognitive decline, memory loss, and social isolation. If you know of someone who is suffering from hearing loss and does not have the transportation means to see us, we will be happy to come to their home or place of residence. For additional information, please feel to speak to Dr. Izzy Kirsh at 732-818-3610 or email to: ikirsh@gardenstatehearing.com.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting (expanded hours!), and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Why Some Antidepressants Work And Some Don’t By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. First let me say I am not a fan of medicating normal, regular sadness that we encounter in our life, such as the melancholy associated with losing a job, or when someone unfriends you, or for hormonal cycles. There are people who are truly depressed and suppressing the urge to harm themselves. We need to be loving and gentle with them, and if they need medicine, then so be it. Medication treatment should be based upon the neurotransmitters that are imbalanced. Doctors tend to throw a dart in the dark by prescribing popular drugs without actually measuring metabolites of neurotransmitters (for example Homovanillate or 5-HIAA) which provide a glimpse behind the curtain. So let’s get to it, what do you think is better, an SNRI or an SSRI? Or an MOA inhibitor? The answer is unclear. One category of meds will work great for you, and be an epic fail for your friend. Why is that? Because Zoloft (sertraline) works by making serotonin linger longer, and that’s great if you have reduced serotonin activity. But what if that’s not your problem? What if you’re depressed because you have low DHEA, a youth hormone that declines after 40. What if it’s low testosterone or estrogen. And what if your levels of serotonin are fine, but you have super low levels of norepinephrine or dopamine? In the latter case, Zoloft would not work, and might be harmful, whereas Wellbutrin (bupropion) would be great! Some of you could benefit from a med that raises serotonin, dopamine AND
norepinephrine. Remeron (mirtazapine) works in this regard. There are so many possibilities, so do not lose hope! Someone else reading this needs lifting of serotonin and norepinephrine but NOT the dopamine. Effexor (venlafaxine) is an SNRI that does exactly that! What I’m trying to say is that each of you respond to the medication that restores activity of the particular neurotransmitter YOU are deficient in. Not everyone with depression is deficient in one specific thing. I have readers today that are in bad shape and feeling isolated and hopeless. I want to help you. Keep doing a little more ‘trial and error’ with medications (and other therapies outside the pill). There are tests you can take today to measure metabolites. I have a more comprehensive version of this article which you can receive via email if you sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com. In closing, I couldn’t possibly know what’s right for everyone because neurotransmitter levels are like fingerprints in people. Sometimes depression is caused by folate or B12 deficiency, or thyroid illness. Sometimes it’s from very high inflammatory compounds, or from a biotoxin like mold. This may surprise you but sometimes it’s medication-induced, like from The Pill. If you feel like you’re at your wits end and you’ve tried everything and it’s just time to go (and stop being a burden to others) then you need to STOP thinking that immediately because it simply isn’t so. You haven’t tried everything. There are people who love you and need you. The National Suicide Prevention Line is 800-273-8255 or text HELLO to 741741.

Around The Jersey Shore Holiday City At Berkeley EMS: The Bill?
By Phyllis Brown The bill? Why did I get a bill? What is it for? If you call 9-1-1, Holiday City at Berkeley EMS will be dispatched. We are a FREE service provided by your neighbors who volunteer. Therefore, there is no charge. We don’t have enough volunteers to provide 24/7 service. So we are available Monday through Friday from 7 am until 7 pm. From 7 pm until 7 am Berkeley Township provides a paid EMS ambulance service of EMTS. They have to bill to provide the service. If they are busy there are other towns like South Toms River who will come. They are also a paid service and take a little longer to get to you because they are farther away. EMTs are able to do only so much to help you. If you are in serious trouble, like heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke, diabetic or respiratory distress, the 9-1-1 dispatcher will send Holiday City and MONOC paramedics. Those guys really bill, but remember, if you need them, you want them and they are worth it. They can do more on scene than EMTs. They train longer and they are in constant touch with an emergency doctor. Although you will be taken to the hospital in our ambulance, the paramedics will be treating you on your way. Now, I have to tell you, several people, thinking that I have all the answers because I write this column, have tracked me down and called to ask a question. Once it was “What do you mean by a Groucho Marx walk?” All the other times it is about billing. I don’t mind. I don’t list my telephone number here but if you can find me, you can call me. Like I said, Holiday City doesn’t bill. If you have a $500 bill, it is probably from Berkeley EMS and your insurance will cover it. If it’s a $1,500 bill, it is probably from MONOC. Your insurance should cover it. If you used both services, your insurance company is liable to say, “Oh look! A little bill and a big bill! We have a choice. Let’s pay the little one.” If you did not go to the hospital, they may say, Oh. It wasn’t an emergency. Let’s

not pay anybody.” Generally, if you want the bill paid, go to the hospital. We can’t help you with the bills. You have to call your insurance company and tell them to pay the big one. If the paramedics come and you don’t need them, they do not bill you unless they touch you. So, if you say, “Since they are here, they might as well take my blood pressure.” and then they leave you to us, you will get a bill from them. Rarely they show up before us, if you don’t need them you can tell them that you’ll wait for Holiday City. One man asked us when we walked in the door, “Are you Holiday City?” If you can, join us. If you can’t, we are here for you. All calls are important: heart & stroke emergencies to lift assists. Stay healthy.

Around The Jersey Shore BLOODY SPOT IN THE EYE
It can be quite disconcerting to look in the mirror and discover that you have a spot of blood under the transparent membrane (conjunctiva) that covers the surface of your eye. Called a “subconjunctival hemorrhage,” the condition can occur without you knowing it, following a forceful cough, sneeze, or straining effort. The conjunctiva contains tiny blood vessels that can break (or leak) after sudden increases in pressure. In these cases, the redness usually clears up within a week or two as the blood is reabsorbed. However, if pain or any change in vision is experienced, the ophthalmologist should be consulted. Subconjunctival hemorrhaging is also related to “diabetic retinopathy,” which should not be allowed to go untreated. Despite its bloody appearance, a subconjunctival hemorrhage should cause no change in your vision, no discharge from your eye, and no pain. Your only discomfort may be a scratchy feeling on the surface of your eye. SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES is dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care. To schedule an appointment, please call our office at 732-349-5622. Our doctors take the time to listen to and answer your questions so that you can make the best choices to fit your unique needs and lifestyle.

Home Alone Monitoring Program
SEASIDE PARK – The Seaside Park Home Alone Monitoring Program allows for daily checks on the welfare of residents. This program allows an automated check in on residents who may be elderly or homebound, for any reason. This feature of the Swift911 system is designed to give family members peace of mind and help residents get the help they need as soon as possible. How the Program Works At approximate specified hours, the resident will receive a free daily phone call from the Seaside Park Wellness Check Program to check on your well-being. The call will begin with the following prerecorded message: “This is the Seaside Park Wellness Check Program. If you are OK please press ‘1.’”
When a resident becomes a participant in the program, he or she will be asked to identify friends or family who may assist him in an emergency. When the system cannot make contact with the resident, it will call the relative or friend that has been designated. If the telephone line is busy or there is no answer, the system will call back one more time after four minutes. If there is no answer or the line stays busy, the contact will automatically be notified to check on the resident. The system will only respond to touchtone telephones or through a TTY, a device for the deaf and hard of hearing. To register, visit bit.ly/2kVwLg4. For more information, call the Seaside Park Police Department at 732-793-8000.

What’s New with Seasonal Flu?
• All people 6 months of age and older should get vaccinated against seasonal Flu every year • Children younger than 6 months are at high risk of serious flu illness but are too young to be vaccinated. People who care for them should be vaccinated instead • Vaccination is especially important for pregnant women and people with chronic diseases • The flu vaccine protects against several different flu viruses (strains). Flu vaccines are updated every year to better match the viruses circulating in the public.Getting the flu vaccine cannot give you the flu! The vaccine is made with inactive (killed) virus strains which are not infectious. *DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCt 5 - OCt 11 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the week ahead, you might feel a sense of relief as a loan is paid off or you get a financial pop of some kind. Hold off on purchases for the next few days, as you may get a better deal later in the week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Focus on learning new things as this week unfolds. You may be able to change situations that restrict your freedoms. You and a companion can maintain harmony by giving each other the benefit of the doubt. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may not have the tools or experience to put a project into motion this week, but you have the imagination to visualize the possibilities. Write down your ideas and file them away until the time is right. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might be surprised to learn that someone unexpected is willing to support you as this week unfolds. There may be a minor household squabble, but a calm, reasonable discussion will sort it out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Put your money in the bank rather than buying lottery tickets or taking any financial risks. You might have high hopes in the week ahead, but must remind yourself to stay grounded in what is real right now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your boundless enthusiasm to follow your dreams is matched by the grit and determination to follow through. A partner might think you are wasting your time, but keep plugging away this week and you may accomplish something. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may think
that being possessive shows that you care, but letting go shows that you trust. Give your partner or lover the space to roam free and make new friends in the week to come. Focus on showing your loyalty. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Change the way you speak to yourself. In the week ahead you may make mental or emotional breakthroughs. You might benefit from someone’s enlightening and unique perspective. Keep any jealousy in check. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you are not where you want to be in life, the week ahead may offer opportunities to change that. Avoid increasing your debt during the next few days, when you might take on more than you can handle. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the week to come, it will be wise to address your priorities first and organize your possessions and thoughts to make your days run smoothly. If you’re prepared, you can handle almost anything. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Romance will take a turn for the better later in the week. During the next few days, you may have good luck if you focus on developing your social network. Be cautious about how you handle your cash. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Expect the best and prepare for the worst, but don’t let your imagination run away with you. Worrying about something before it happens is wasted energy. Go confidently ahead knowing you can handle what comes.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen
Try A Different Shape This Season By Wolfgang Puck Food lovers hear a lot of talk these days about seasonal cuisine. Still, there are also some dishes that know no season-or are, to put it another way, foods for all seasons. One of my favorites, served in many of my restaurants, falls into this wide-ranging category: pizza. When you think about it, of course, the reason has everything to do with the toppings. Arrange slices of sun-ripened heirloom tomato and dollops of fresh, creamy mozzarella, then top the baked results with a fresh basil julienne, and you have a classic summer pizza. Complement bites of winter squash with blue cheese and maybe some crumbled cooked sausage, and it’s a robust winter pizza. You get the idea: The dough itself provides a perfect canvas to showcase whatever seems most seasonal. So what would I recommend right now for a pizza, with autumn just beginning? First, bear in mind that it may still seem like summer outside, with early autumn days sometimes still muggy. So we don’t want a pizza that seems too heavy. Yet, it’s worth acknowledging that summer truly is over by including ingredients that are a little more autumnal, like woodsy mushrooms, meaty-tasting eggplant and dark greens like the always available prewashed baby spinach leaves now sold in supermarkets just about everywhere. Let me also suggest another nod to the season: Shape the pizza differently, forming it into a calzone. The term, from an Italian word for an old-fashioned trouser leg because of its elongated baggy shape, describes what is basically a pizza turnover.

The result is a perfect seasonal treat: more robust and sustaining than a pizza might be, thanks to the generous amount of filling, yet still light and freshly flavored.

Calzones are easy to make: Just arrange the filling over half of the rolled-out dough circle’s surface, then fold the other half over and pinch the edges to seal them. The calzone bakes in about the same time a pizza would: 12 minutes on a pizza stone or baking tiles in a 500°F (260°C) oven.

Imagine making these calzones the featured dish at an informal autumn party. Have all the fillings prepped and ready to put on the dough, letting guests assemble their own and slide them in the oven. You could even add other ingredients that seem appropriate to the season: some cooked sausage, perhaps; or crumbled blue cheese; or maybe a few chopped sun-dried tomatoes, as a bright reminder of the season just passed. Make an extra batch or two of my easy pizza dough recipe, too, and freeze it. That way, you’ll be prepared for more calzones filled with seasonal ingredients as the months unfold from autumn into winter.
Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 cups (500 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese, about 1/2 pound (250 g) 2 cups (500 ml) shredded Fontina cheese, about 1/2 pound (250 g) 4 cups (1 l) packed prewashed and dried baby spinach leaves, stems removed 8 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese Make Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough in advance (see instructions below). Place a pizza stone or baking tiles on the middle rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large nonstick sauté pan and 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium nonstick sauté pan, both over medium-high heat. Add the shiitake mushroom slices to the large pan and the eggplant slices to the medium pan and lightly season both vegetables with salt and pepper; sauté, stirring frequently, until both vegetables are tender, 7 to 10 minutes, adding a little more oil if needed. Transfer the vegetables to 2 plates and spread them out to cool. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out each ball of dough into an 8-inch (20-cm) circle. Leaving about a 1-inch (2.5-cm) margin on the edge, divide the mozzarella evenly over half of each circle; then add the Fontina, spinach, mushrooms, and eggplant, finishing with the Parmesan. Moisten the edge of each dough circle with water and fold the top half over to enclose the filling. Pinch firmly all along the edges of the half-circle to seal in the filling securely. Slide a flour-dusted baker’s peel, pizza peel, or rimless baking sheet under a calzone and transfer it to the oven, carefully sliding it onto the pizza stone or tiles. Add as many more calzones as will fit comfortably. Bake until the dough is nicely browned, about 12 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven to a serving platter and brush the tops with olive oil. Serve immediately, carefully cutting each in half if you’ve only had room to bake 2, distributing the halves while you bake the other two calzones in the same way. WOLFGANG’S PIZZA DOUGH Makes 4 balls, each 6 ounces (185 g) 1 package active dry yeast 1 teaspoon honey 1 cup (250 ml) warm water, 105°F to 115°F (40°C to 46°C) 3 cups (750 ml) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup (60 ml) warm water.
VEGETABLE CALZONES Makes 4
In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the oil, yeast mixture, and remaining water; process until a ball forms. Turn out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand until smooth and firm, about 3 minutes. Cover with a clean, damp towel and let rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours.
Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough (recipe follows), separated into 4 equal balls, or good-quality store-bought pizza dough 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra as needed and for brushing 2 cups (500 ml) sliced fresh shiitake mushroom caps 1 cup (250 ml) thinly sliced slender Asian eggplant rounds
Divide into 4 equal balls. Work each by pulling down the sides and tucking under. Repeat four or five times. On a smooth, unfloured surface, roll under your palm until smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. The balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days; or frozen for up to 3 months, to be thawed in the refrigerator overnight before use.
