By Bob Vosseller HOWELL – The German word Burgermeister means master of the citizens and George Veitengruber certainly commanded attention by getting into the spirit of the 14th Annual Police Benevolent Association Local 228 Oktoberfest held earlier this month. Veitengruber’s attire
resembled that of a Burgermeister, a title usually translated into English as “Mayor,” but it was his wife Susan who served as the township’s first female Republican mayor. “I just enjoy getting into the spirit of things,” George Veitengruber said. “We’ve lived here since 1976. My wife Susan was the mayor in
1990. It is a wonderful community.” “I was on the Board of Education and on the environmental commission in the township before becoming mayor and I’m proud to be a PBA silver card holder which is the highest honor a civilian can receive from the PBA,” Susan Veitengr uber said. “We have the best
PBA in the state.” The Veitengrubers’ grandsons Grayson and Jake were also enjoying the many children’s activities available. The Veitengrubers were among the 400 attendees who enjoyed German music, food and other activities on Oct. 5. “This is one of the (PBA - See Page 4)

Gordon Ramsay Surprises Local Girl Following Viral Post
By Kimberly Bosco and Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD - Imagine you’re in school. You’re walking to your next class when all of a sudden your favorite celebrity shows up to surprise you. A dream come true! Seems impossible, right? Well, not for Kallista Flores. While he was in town for a bit of show-biz, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay took a detour to Toms River Intermediate South to meet Kallista, a Beachwood local and Ramsay super fan.
The surprise was orchestrated by her father, Wolf Flores, and documented via Facebook live on his social media page. Flores shared a post to social media earlier this week, hoping to garner enough attention to nab a meet and greet with the famous chef for his daughter. The post read: “she is freaking out because he is in town filming. She is a HUGE fan! Obsessed is more like it! Please keep sharing this until she meets him. She wanted to use her Make A Wish (Help - See Page 5)

Bus Route Issue Revisited
By Bob Vosseller HOWELL – Bus route changes in certain areas of the community and the need for more detailed agendas during board committee and regular meetings were issues revisited during recent board meetings. When the bus route changes were first announced, several parents voiced concerns during the board’s meetings in September and October. Parents came out to learn if any modifications to the routes had been made based on information provided at a Sept. 4 meeting. Some parents expressed concern during both meetings that their child’s bus stop was changed to a location that was not as safe. Board of Education President Mark Bonjavanni said no changes to the stops were made specifically due to the comments at the September Board Meeting. “We certainly revisited the stops in question, and tried to clarify some of the issues that were addressed. One stop that brought out a number of people was at the corner of Buckalew and Mackenzie Court which is directly across the street from Buckalew and Desai Court. The stops were designed to stop at one side of Buckalew, pick up from Mackenzie, then travel down the road and to make a turnaround another block, and return to Desai side of Buckalew,” Bonjavanni said. “There was never an intention to have children cross Buckalew. Photos were shown of children crossing the road, when that was never the plan. It would be safer and better for children to wait for the bus to pick them up on the side they are coming from,” Bonjavanni said. Bonjavanni added that a question was raised about creating a task force to look at all of the stops. “Ron Sanasac, the Assistant School Superintendent for Business Administration is charged with controlling the stops. He has looked at them over and over, and is in a position to act much faster than a committee could be formed or respond,” he said. Board member Ira Thor voted against the bus route changes when they were first introduced. He brought up a related concern during the Board’s August and September meetings. “I (Bus - See Page 4)

PBA:
Continued From Page 1 major fundraisers for the PBA and one of the most looked forward to events every year in the area,” Howell Police School Resource Officer Jay Higgins said. This marked his first year as chairman of the Oktoberfest. Higgins added that the “Howell PBA has worked very hard over the years to become part of the community we serve and help out whenever and wherever we can. The money raised at this event helps the Howell PBA support youth and community groups in Howell.” “This event requires the help of nearly all 90-plus members of the Howell Police. It brings together PBA members, SOA (Superior Officers Association) members, the chief of police, our families, and several members of the community that support us make it a great day,” Higgins said. The event featured authentic German food cooked by Woody’s Roadside Tavern in Farmingdale, hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken fingers, and French fries. Also served up were generous helpings of popcorn, pretzels, and desserts. “For the kids we have bounce houses and pumpkin painting. This year we also have Bubbles the clown who will entertain the kids with her balloon creations and face painting,” Higgins said. “For the adults we have an extensive gift auction, a large assortment of seasonal and year-round beers and wine and the Phil Engel Band,” Higgins said. “We tried to use Howell based companies or at least businesses near Howell for this event.
Woody’s Tavern is well known and all the German food was brought here from there,” Higgins said. “Phil Engel is a big supporter of us here in Howell and SJ Printing in Howell provided our dessert and wine tasting.” Higgins said that full time officers as well as retired officers were helping work the event. “Many of our retired officers came out to help us. You never really retire from the department. They really love this event.” Jayson Symons retired from the department in 2016 but recently returned as a police dispatcher. “Many of the families of the PBA are here today and we get a lot of support from throughout the community.” This marked the first time the event was held at the Girl Scouts Activity Center on Yellowbrook Road. Many attendees complimented the location including Mayor Theresa Berger. “This is a great venue. They did an amazing job. This is a good event,” Berger said. “We have great weather here today but if it were to have rained, we could just pull everything inside,” Higgins said. Howell Police Captain Mark Pilecki was pleased to see the large turnout. He had recently helped coordinate Howell Day and added that “this event has members of the police in attire other than their uniforms. It allows us to get to know the public better and for everyone to have a good time at a nice family event.” Higgins said the PBA holds a golf outing and members also make deliveries of food for people in the township who can’t get around as well. “We also have a bowling event for special needs children in December. We do a lot for the community.”
Bus:
Continued From Page 1 think we as a board need to do a better job of when there is a topic the public has an interest in. We need to let people know what is going on.” Thor said “most people were blindsided. We can’t let that happen. If we had let people know, we would have had more people come out. We had about 20 people but even at a meeting in August you would have had quite a bit more than that. “There will be other topics in the future that will come up. Our agendas are too vague. We need to do a much better job of having an agenda includes what we are talking about. There are times when I feel blindsided as a board member and that can’t happen,” Thor added. Last month Thor urged the district to make changes to the current plan. “We cannot be putting children and parents on Aldrich and some of these other busy streets in the morning,” Thor said. “We have to be better than that. We can’t be putting people in danger on busy streets. Let’s make the changes where it is reasonable. I’m not saying we have a bus go down every cul de sac but it’s not black and white and we need to take a closer look at this.” Bonjavanni said the new bus stop plan came from two years of discussion and planning. He said last month that that
each case calling for a change by parents was being examined on an individual basis and safety was the primary interest of the board. Board member Laurence Gurman said in September that “this is an ongoing dialogue. We can look at the board agendas before the meeting and the minutes after the meetings.” He recommended the public “come out to these committee meetings. We can all contribute together to get the information out. “Our committee meetings are open to anyone in the public and they have a voice at that meeting,” Bonjavanni said. He also said that there had been some discussions on expanding the board’s agendas. He expressed that posts on social media concerning school district information have not always been accurate. Board member Cristy Mangano said “most people com municate th rough social media whether we like it or not. People wouldn’t have known about this if it wasn’t for social media. Some people have told me they don’t come to meetings because they aren’t listened to.” “I have been quite disturbed that public comment doesn’t come because they feel they are not being heard. We are to represent you, you voted us in and we need to make sure that you are heard,” Board member Dr. Scott A. Jeffrey said. “We need your voices to be heard. We wish more voices were here,” Board Vice President Albert Miller remarked.

How To Help
That night, Flores received an email that his daughter’s GoFundMe (gofundme.com/f/ teamkallista) had reached its goal. That was impossible, he thought, because it was so far away. He checked and sure enough, one donation put it over the top. Ramsay had donated $10,133, matching the exact amount that was in there at the time. Flores said he gathered the family together in a hug and everyone started crying. This kind of money is incredibly important. Kallista’s co-pay is just under $1,100 a month. You read that correctly: $1,100 every month. That’s like having an additional mortgage payment.

Another example of how expensive it is to get sick: her hospital bill was once $4.2 million. Insurance took care of most of that, but the fact that the family was still responsible for $25,000 was adding insult to injury. The first prescription they ever picked up cost $643. That night, she crashed as the excitement died down and the steroids and the chemo kicked in, but she perked up again when she realized that Ramsay started following her on Instagram. “If there was ever a kid who deserved to meet her idol, it’s her,” he said. “She’s an inspiration for other kids with cancer that their dreams can come true.”

Freeholders Recap RecordBreaking Summer Season LONG BRANCH – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and tourism partners concluded the 2019 summer tourism season with a press conference on Tuesday, Oct. 15 on the boardwalk at Pier Village in Long Branch. “We are excited to announce that we had a record-breaking summer tourism season, with more than $23.7 million in beach revenue from Monmouth County,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Department of Public Information and Tourism. “The County has received an incredible amount of positive feedback from municipalities, businesses, residents and visitors who all enjoyed the benefits of the beautiful weather we had this summer.” The 2019 beach revenue of $23.7 million is an 11% increase from 2018 beach revenue, which was approximately $21 million. Towns that had the largest growth in revenue include Sea Bright with a 28% increase, Manasquan with a 24% increase and Asbury Park with a 20% increase. “The weather plays such an important role in our summer tourism season and we were fortunate that it rained only two weekends this
summer, in comparison to rain on 11 summer weekends in 2018,” said Freeholder Director Arnone. “The warm temperatures and sunny skies brought visitors from near and far to Monmouth County for day trips, weekend trips and family vacations.” Another factor that contributed to the success of the summer tourism season was the cost of gasoline. In the Northeast, gas prices in summer 2019 were .22 to .55 cents cheaper than they were in 2018. According to AAA, the national gas price average during Labor Day weekend was the cheapest in three years. “While gas prices and the weather do affect the numbers each year, they cannot take all of the credit for all of the success,” said Freeholder Director Arnone. “It is important to acknowledge the hard work and the successful marketing campaigns put forth by our municipalities and tourism partners, which are a true driving force behind the record-breaking revenues.” For more information about Monmouth County happenings, go to tourism.visitmonmouth. com and follow Monmouth County Tourism on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F eAtuReD L etteR Changing Perceptions On Disability October 22nd was International Stuttering Awareness Day. Stuttering is the only disability people still laugh at but we’re working
to change that! Just over 70 million people around the world stutter, including more than three million Americans. Most people know someone
who stutters, but few understand the condition, what causes it, and how it is treated. Many famous people, including actors, singers, statesmen
and athletes are among those who stutter. One in five children stutter for a time during their development. For more than 70 years, the

Letters To The Editor Politicians Must Represent Us All Ocean County is once again in the national news because of an unjust decision by our Freeholders, including current Freeholder Deputy Director John Kelly. Back in 2005, our Freeholders denied the dying wish of a 25-year veteran of the Sheriff’s department, Lt. Laurel Hester, to pass her pension and other survivor benefits to her longtime domestic partner. Although such action was legal under New Jersey state law, John Kelly justified the refusal of survivor benefits based on his personal religious beliefs, arguing it would violate the sanctity of marriage. The injustice of the Freeholder’s decision brought an immediate public outcry, including from Lt. Hester’s fellow officers. The Freeholders ultimately reversed their decision in a 4-0 vote, with John Kelly not present to vote. But this blot on Ocean County’s reputation is a gift that keeps on giving, drawing negative national attention as the subject of an Oscar winning documentary in 2008
and a major motion picture starring Julianne Moore in 2015. And now, a tweet by Julianne Moore to her 850,000+ followers has brought renewed attention to John Kelly and the history of bias in Ocean County. I think it’s time we finally put this sordid history behind us, electing Freeholders who will represent all the citizens of Ocean County. It’s time to clean house. I support Jean Czarkowski and David Wright, leaders of the highest integrity and accomplishment, who are committed to improving the lives of ALL Ocean County residents. I’ll be voting for Jean and David in November. Nancy Caira Waretown

the Township Council, and the Berkeley Township staff in general for the fantastic recreational setup we are able to enjoy in the township. For starters, the new turf field at Veterans Park is a welcome addition for the community. It proves to be an efficient and safe place for the Berkeley soccer and football organizations to use during the fall. The field can also be used for lacrosse, which has become a popular youth sport over the years. Also at Veterans, the softball field has been updated with a new safety fence, lighting, a scoreboard. I’ve mentioned a lot about Veterans Park, but the partnership with former Major League Pitcher Al Leiter that fixed up and would later become the Leiter Family Baseball Park was tremendous. When spectators from other towns come here to play, they seem envious of what we have here. These kinds of projects don’t happen overnight - they take significant time, management, and focused leadership to complete. That is a testament to the commitment to provide first-rate facilities and services by Mayor Amato and the Council. There are other great recreational opportunities to mention. Mayor Amato and the Council worked with the late Ocean County Freeholder, John Bartlett, to rebuild Berkeley Island County Park that includes a water spray park to help keep cool on hot summer days. The rebuilt Butler Beach with a new playground, as well as a fishing and crabbing pier was exceptionally well done. There are also new playgrounds at Dudley Park and Mastapeter Park at Amherst. The new skate park and inclusive merry-goround at Veterans provides

Why Is Trump Above The Law? It’s time - past time - to open a formal impeachment inquiry. One hundred and thirty members of the House have already come out in support. I want to know why the remaining members (including my member of Congress *), have yet to come on board. Democrats have had control of the House of Representatives since the beginning of the year and still have yet to hold Trump accountable for his criminal conduct. In my opinion, time’s up. Trump may lie to the American people, but the evidence does not. Mueller’s report found over a hundred secret communications between Trump’s team and Russia or individuals tied to Russia. It found that Trump’s own campaign chairman gave polling data to a former Russian intelligence officer. It outlined at least 10 occasions in which Trump obstructed justice, which is a serious crime, to say the least. If you or I did what Trump did, we’d be in jail. Trump can scream “no collusion” all he wants, but these actions are unacceptable
less from the Commander in Chief who is tasked with protecting our national security. It’s imperative for our representatives to support a formal impeachment inquiry. Every lawmaker should want to hold Trump accountable for his crimes. We need to send a message that welcoming the help of a foreign government - and obstructing justice to cover it up - will not be tolerated. Kathy Atkins Forked River * Editor’s note: The congressman for Forked River has called for impeachment.
Keep School Spending Down In Lakewood, publicly funded busing to over 130 private schools has nearly bankrupted the school district - requiring tens of millions in state bailouts, year after year. I’m Jeff Dingsor and I believe Toms River School Board’s recent decision to bus students to Lakewood private schools has opened a Pandora’s Box that will have devastating consequences for property taxes and on the quality of education in our public schools. As required by law, the School Board traditionally offered a small transportation stipend to students enrolled in schools outside of the township, and only offered busing to private schools in Toms River. I believe the district’s decision to start busing to 11 private schools in Lakewood establishes a fiscally dangerous precedent, and it must be stopped. Transportation costs in Lakewood are over $30 Million a year, or roughly thirty times
River just a few years ago. The private school busing model hasn’t worked out in Lakewood, and it won’t work here in Toms River either. If elected, I’ll fight to overturn this decision and to prevent an expansion in private school busing. Rising transportation costs are not the only reason I decided to run. Recent State Aid cuts resulted in the elimination of 77 positions, but this School Board still found the money to give the Superintendent his bonus and to increase the salaries of his Assistant Superintendents. We need people on the School Board that will put students and their education ahead of salary increases for administrators. Taxes continue to spiral out of control. In the last five years, school taxes increased by over 21 million dollars. While part of that can be attributed to state aid cuts, this School Board has increased spending by over $11 million in that same five year period.* If elected to the School Board, I’ll put a stop to the wasteful spending that is increasing our taxes, and I’ll fight to make sure we’re getting our fair share from Trenton. Hopefully I can count on you to support me, Jeff Dingsor for School Board. I’ll be in Ballot Position 1. If elected, I’ll represent the taxpayers and students of our community, not special interests or political insiders. If you have any questions or issues you’d like to discuss, please feel free to contact me at (732) 806-1139. Jeff Dingsor Toms River * Editor’s note: These figures could not be independently verified as of press time.

The 19-year-old from Belmar, will serve as master of ceremonies at the Miss Central Jersey Competition at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 16 at Howell High School. By Bob Vosseller HOWELL – Jade Glab, Miss New Jersey 2019 will be returning to Howell High School next month when the high school hosts the Miss Central Jersey completion. Glab sang the National Anthem during the 7th Annual Howell Township/Farmingdale 5K Run and Race Walk held on the high school’s athletic field on Aug. 28. The 19-year-old from Belmar was crowned Miss New Jersey 2019 inside the Superstar Theater at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City and will represent the Garden State in the 2020 Miss America competition. The Miss Central Jersey organization is looking for candidates for three of its upcoming competitions. Orientations will be held on Oct. 27 at the Atlantic Club in Manasquan while the competition itself will be held on Saturday Nov. 16 at Howell High School. Glab will be the master of ceremonies of the competition. The Miss Central Jersey Scholarship Competition which is the official preliminary to the Miss New Jersey/Miss America pageant is open to those young women 18-25 years old. They must be at least a senior in high school and reside in Monmouth, Ocean, Middlesex, Union, Hunterdon, Mercer or Somerset county. The Miss Central Jersey Coastline Scholarship
Competition is another official preliminary to the Miss New Jersey/Miss America Pageant and is also open to those ages 18-25 and must be at least a senior in high school and reside in Monmouth, Middlesex, Union, or Essex county. This weekend and Miss Monmouth competition will held in Ocean Grove. A third contest is the Miss Central Jersey Outstanding Teen Competition open to girls 13-17 and cannot be a senior in high school and is open to all teen residents in the state. “This is the first year for the teen contest,” Miss Central Jersey Executive Director Peter Bruno said. He added that he and Darlene Corrubia, executive director of Miss Central Jersey Coastline and a former Miss Monmouth County winner have been involved with these contests for 20 years.

Anti-Bullying Program to be Offered at Freehold Borough Elks Club FREEHOLD BOROUGH – In conjunction with the designation of October as National Bullying Prevention Month, a free program, “Recognizing and Preventing Bullying “ featuring Stuart Green, Associate Director of Overlook Family Medicine Residency Program, Summit, NJ, will be held at Freehold Elks Lodge 1454, 73 East Main Street, Freehold Borough Monday, October 28 at 7 p.m. Bullying negatively impacts children’s physical and emotional safety and creates both short- and long-term difficulties in school performance and social-emotional functioning. In discussing this problem, Dr. Green will address the following areas: what bullying is; steps schools and parents can take to prevent bullying; and what parents should expect from schools when bullying occurs. Though exact figures are not currently main-
tained, based upon data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), it is estimated that approximately 4,400 children between the ages of 7-17 commit suicide in the U.S. each year as a direct result of being bullied. In addition to his work at Overlook, Dr. Green founded and directs the NJ Coalition for Bullying Awareness and Prevention (www. njbullying.org). He also chaired the NJ Commission on Bullying in Schools, co-authoring its report, There Isn’t a Moment to Lose (December 2009). The program, sponsored by the Freehold Township Democratic Club, is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be available. Further information can be obtained from Kim Luxhoj at 732-241-3145. RSVPs are not required but would be appreciated by contacting Kim Luxoj at the above number.

County Reminds Residents to “Fight the Bite!”
FREEHOLD – Fall is an extremely active time for mosquitoes. The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Mosquito Control Division are reminding residents to take precautions to protect themselves against mosquitoes and viruses that these insects may carry. “While it may be cooler outside, residents need to keep in mind that mosquitos are still a concern,” said Freeholder Susan M. Kiley, liaison to the Mosquito Control Division. “Fortunately, there are numerous proactive measures residents can take to prevent mosquito bites and ultimately minimize the risk of contracting a mosquito-borne illness.” The summer season is a heavier time for mosquito breeding, but brisk temperatures mean mosquitoes are more active during the day instead of the evening. Mosquitos are still active until the temperature is consistently below 50 degrees. Residents and visitors can take the following precautionary measures to avoid mosquito bites: • Use insect repellent while outdoors to be protected from mosquito bites • Cover up and wear long sleeves, long pants and socks while outdoors • Treat clothing and gear with insect repellant containing permethrin • Use insect repellent that the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has proven to be safe and effective that contains one of the following active ingredients: DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or para-methane-diol • Follow the label instructions on the insect repellent container, especially with children “Residents can also rid their home and property of mosquitoes as well,” said Freeholder Kiley. “One small cap of water can result in hundreds of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water and, in seven days the mosquito larva will emerge into adults.” Container mosquitoes are the number one mosquito problem in Monmouth County. Buckets are the most common mosquito habitats found around the home. The Monmouth County Mosquito Control Division created a Mosquito Habitat Checklist to help you eliminate places that mosquitoes breed around your home. Some of these solutions are: • Empty buckets of standing water and turn them over • Drill holes in the bottoms of garbage cans and recycling bins • Regularly clean out gutters • Empty and store watering cans upside down • Change the water in bird baths weekly For more information, call the Monmouth County Mosquito Control Division at 732542-3630 or go to visitmonmouth.com/health.

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

At Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation, there are no cookie cutter plans. With so many different services available in one facility, there are a number of possibilities and different combinations of treatments that can be customized to each patient. While these doctors do see many patients who receive injections to postpone painful knee surgery, some patients may benefit more from Cold Laser Therapy combined with physical therapy, or maybe acupuncture or vibration therapy. There are a number of possibilities and no one single solution to cure all knee pain. So what’s the solution? Start with a consultation with one of these skilled medical professionals. Sit down with one of the doctors to determine exactly which approach would be the most effective in your case.

They come in hopeless, and many end up having more success than ever before! So, what is it that makes this facility special? It’s bringing together all the individual working pieces to provide the well-rounded, all-encompassing treatment that delivers results. Patients can get multiple treatments all under one roof.

Acupuncture sessions take place in a relaxing setting. A Licensed Acupuncturist will insert tiny needles into incredibly precise points of the body, sending signals to the brain to release neurotransmitters that reduce feelings of pain. These tiny pricks that most patients can hardly feel are awakening your body’s innate ability to relieve pain –all while you get to sit back and relax. Osteoarthritis patients who receive acupuncture regularly may see noticeable improvements in levels of pain and functionality. Acupuncture is especially effective when combined with other treatment methods and may even improve the effects of physical therapy and other modalities.

H eRe ’ s t o Y ouR H eAltH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Bernie Sanders Health Incident Diagnosed As Heart Attack By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Would you know right away if you were having a heart attack? Symptoms include a heartburn-like sensation, tightness in your chest/arms. Nausea, throat or jaw pain may occur, as well as fatigue and mild dizziness. Sometimes there’s a cold sweat, but not always. Does this sound like how you feel after pouring too much hot sauce on a large burrito? Like, it’s easy to miss until it gets serious! Last week, the Democratic presidential candidate experienced some chest pain and was hospitalized while working in Las Vegas, Nevada. His campaign events were obviously canceled and later, we would find out that it was a mild heart attack. It strikes someone every 43 seconds. Unbalanced cholesterol might certainly contribute, but there are other deficiencies involved in the making of a heart attack: Vitamin C. Keeping your arteries elastic and bendable is important and that’s where vitamin C can help. It is required for making collagen which keeps your arteries supple and free of cracking. Collagen. There is collagen in your heart, it’s everywhere. Too much glycation of the collagen and too many AGEs causes your arteries to stiffen up. The problem isn’t the collagen, you want that! The problem is the glycation, which is where a glucose molecule binds to something else that’s important in your body (like a protein), and destroys it. Like with arteries, they get stiffer and non-compliant, that’s dangerous. Glycine. This is an amino acid that’s as-
sociated with sleep or with body-building because it helps make creatine, which is an energy-producing compound and the most abundant protein in collagen. There was an interesting 2016 STUDY in the Journal of the American Heart Association which found an inverse relationship with glycine and the heart. The patients with angina were evaluated over 7 years, and those with healthy, normal amounts of glycine had a lower risk of heart attack. CoQ10 and Ubiquinol. Coenzyme Q10 is an essential life-sustaining compound in our body, and our heart would stop beating quickly if we ran out of this. That’s because it’s concentrated in the heart. We make this antioxidant, but it’s depleted by about 100 or more different medications, more than likely one you take! If that’s the case, consider supplementation. Evidence is crystal clear, the lower your CoQ10 levels, the higher the risk for all kinds of problems including heart failure, arrhythmias and heart attack. Garlic. Plaque accumulation will cause a blockage of blood flow, therefore reduced blood supply to the heart, and that’s the mechanism which can cause a heart attack. It’s amazing that garlic has been shown to reduce plaque buildup in arteries. Even statins don’t do that, they just reduce your production of cholesterol in the liver, leaving the arteries and blood vessels just as clogged as they were before. But garlic is like a Dyson with suction power to sweep out plaques in the body. You can cook with it, sprinkle it, or take aged garlic supplements.

Become A CASA Volunteer For Local Kids
MONMOUTH COUNTY – The end of summer and the start of a new school year is an exciting time for most children. But for some, the beginning of school could reveal a dark secret when signs of abuse and neglect these children have suffered over the summer are noticed by teachers, staff and other parents. “Because children are subject to less adult supervision over the summer, it’s not uncommon for reports of suspected abuse and neglect to spike at the start of the school year,” said Cindi Van Brunt, Executive Director. Many of the children who are confirmed as victims are removed from their homes and placed into foster care—often far from their friends, families and schools. CASA (Court
Appointed Special Advocates) volunteers from CASA for Children of Monmouth County are specially screened and trained to speak up for abused and neglected children who, through no fault of their own, end up in the foster care system. “Being uprooted from their homes and families is scary for these children. We at CASA for Children of Monmouth County want to make sure that they do not get lost in the overburdened foster care system,” Van Brunt said. “For that reason, we need more people in our community to speak up and make sure these children’s voices are heard. We want to help ensure that their stay in foster care is as short as possible and that they are placed in safe, loving
homes quickly so they can begin to heal.” There are 431 children that go through the child protection system each year from Monmouth County, and only 110 CASA volunteers to advocate for their best interests. “Too many children are forced to go through the chaos of moving through the child protection system feeling alone,” Van Brunt said. “CASA for Children of Monmouth County needs more volunteers to step up and be a voice for children who desperately need them.” To help these children, CASA is seeking adults, 21 years and older to act as advocates for children in foster care. A CASA volunteer is a trained citizen who is appointed by a Judge to represent the best interests of a child in court.
CASA volunteers work one-on-one with an abused or neglected child, advocating for his or her best interests. Essentially, CASA volunteers “speak up” for these children in the court and child welfare systems, making sure they are safe and well-cared for, are getting the services they need, and are placed in a permanent, safe, nurturing home as quickly as possible. This school year, become a CASA volunteer and help children in need find safe, permanent homes. Anyone interested in volunteer opportunities should visit casaofmonmouth.org for upcoming information sessions and program details or contact Lynn Goelz at 732-460-9100 Email: lynn@casaforchildrenmc.org for more details.
Nutrition and the Aging Population By: Steven Beintema, PTA
Hippocrates once said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” This statement is as important today as it was 2500 years ago. Advances in technology, social support networks, and advances in medicine have enabled us to live longer than ever. While there are numerous benefits to living longer, it cannot be denied that there is also an increased cost as well. As we grow older, our need for medical care generally increases. It is estimated that caring for an older population will increase healthcare spending approximately 25% by 2030. This article will briefly cover healthy nutrition and its potential to help reduce medical costs and improve quality of life.
Eating healthy is not always easy as we grow older. There are numerous factors at play that may pose barriers to healthy food intake. Over a lifetime we all develop food preferences that can be very hard to change. Along those same lines, eating habits ingrained over years are hard to break. Lack of physical activity decreases our body’s energy needs and our appetite. Illnesses, decreased mobility, problems with oral health, and changes in digestion and absorption of nutrients can make healthy eating even more difficult. It is important for each of us to take an honest, comprehensive look at our eating habits and lifestyle in order to
determine what, if any, changes should be made... and then commit to those changes. As we age, there is a gradual decline in organ function, which can increase the likelihood of developing heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses. Research shows that consuming a healthy diet, avoiding tobacco products, and remaining physically active drastically reduces the chance of developing these diseases. The days of the “four basic food groups” are long gone. The US Dept of Agriculture published updated MyPlate guidelines in 2010. These guidelines are designed for all Americans older than age 2. Tufts University developed a “MyPlate for Older Adults” with modifications appropriate for adults age 70 and older (FIGURE 1). Emphasis is placed on nutrient-dense food choices and the importance of fluid balance. It is important to choose adequate amounts of fiber-rich foods, whole grains, and whole fruits and vegetables while avoiding highly refined and processed options. The need for regular physical activity is also depicted as part of the MyPlate for Older Adults. For many older Americans, a diet consisting solely of whole, fresh ingredients is unrealistic. Decreased mobility and limited income are just two factors that may make an entirely fresh diet impossible to maintain. MyPlate for Older Adults includes representations of alternative options including frozen, canned and dried fruits and vegetables. Various fluid options are also shown. If unable to consume the necessary nutrients from foods alone, supplemental nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 may be required. Your journey toward nutritional health should not be made alone but should be a team effort. In order to incorporate changes safely and effectively, it is important to consult with your physician first. Preexisting conditions such as diabetes may require more supervision and monitoring as changes are made. Your pharmacist should make up the third member of your team. Certain foods, herbs, and supplements may have an adverse effect on medications. Your pharmacist can
help you steer clear of any unwanted interactions. No healthy diet would be complete without an emphasis on adequate fluid intake. Adequate hydration is essential for proper organ and joint function. Most of your fluid intake should be from water, but MyPlate also shows coffee, tea, and other beverages as suitable sources in limited amounts. The fact that Americans are living longer is a good thing, however this longevity may come at a price. Each one of us has the power to take charge of our nutritional health, and possibly minimize the negative effects related to aging. So, don’t wait! Consult with your physician and commit to making a change today!

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Encourage New Experiences Dear Joel, I am concerned about my 23-year-old son. He has been dating his girlfriend for over two years. She breaks up with him repeatedly. It sometimes feels that it happens every other month. I have told him that this girl is not right for him. I have to constantly explain to family and friends why she is at some holiday dinners and not at others. If there is a family wedding, her absences are always noticed. I don’t want him hurt and am tired of how she treats him. He seems to always go back for more punishment. It makes me feel less of him and I don’t like feeling that way. Do you think it’s a good idea to speak with him? Answer: I think that speaking to him is fine. After all, you are a concerned parent. That being said, I want to caution you about your communication style. If your plan is to say that his girlfriend is not right for him, she’s trouble, no good, etc., in all likelihood, you will make the story worse for everyone. He
already knows that you disapprove of her. I can assure you of that. He already hears your voice in his head. What I would do is make suggestions of moving towards new experiences. Have him join a gym, do volunteer work, get a second job. In everything that I mentioned he will be meeting new faces, trying new things and most likely feel better about himself. His self esteem will clearly improve. His girlfriend may find new respect for him as well. Your son is 23 and must make his own choices. If they are the wrong choices, I don’t know of anyone who has always done the right thing. I wish you and your family well. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

24 Dogs, Taken From Hoarder, Soon Up For Adoption By Chris Lundy STAFFORD – The county has recovered two dozen dogs and puppies from a Manahawkin resident who could no longer care for them all, a representative from the Ocean County Board of Health said. All of the pets, who were described as “sweet and lovable dogs and puppies,” are now being cared for at the Ocean County Animal Facilities in Manahawkin and Jackson. Most of the dogs appear to be in generally good health, according to the Health Department. They will need to be examined by the veterinarian. Before they can be adopted, they need to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. The pets were all in one property; the owner was described as a hoarder. “Anytime you have a large volume of dogs or cats coming in at one time like this it can be a bit of an extra load but that’s what the animal facilities are here for and our staff will give these dogs the best of care before finding them permanent loving homes,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “So if you or someone you know are interested in adopting a shelter dog, you may want to seriously consider getting one from this adorable group.” The dogs are a mix of sizes, colors and ages. Most of them are a combination of small mixed
breeds, and a few are puppies. There is one bulldog among them. “These dogs will now get the second chance they deserve and make a wonderful family pet,” said Daniel E. Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator. “With shelters across the country crowded with homeless animals, the Ocean County Health Department strongly urges anyone seeking to find a new family pet to consider adopting a shelter dog or cat before looking anywhere else.” If a pet owner is feeling overwhelmed with the care of their pets, or the number of pets in their possession, they are encouraged to reach out to their local animal control officer, or area animal rescues for help, Regenye added. If you’re interested in adopting a shelter pet, the Ocean County Animal Facilities are located at 615 Freemont Street in Jackson and 360 Haywood Road in Manahawkin. Both facilities are open to the public 7 days a week from 1-4 p.m. and until 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. For more information please call 732-657-8086 or 609-978-0127. Readers are also encouraged to visit the Health Department website at ochd.org or follow the Health Department at Twitter@OCpublichealth or like them on Facebook. They have also started a new website at phu2.org to teach that “Public Health is You Too,” sharing help to equip people to take simple steps to improve their health.

Have you been ripped off by a car dealer, a home improvement contractor or some other business? Remember, there is no such thing as a “free lunch.” Anytime someone tries to sell you something, you should take everything they say with a grain of salt. This is particularly true when you purchase a car, buy a home, hire someone to remodel your house, pay for any other type of goods and/or services, and particularly where you are entering into some type of written agreement. Unfortunately, we live in a society today where some businesses make claims or representations that turn out not to be true or omit to tell you an important item, for example, that an automobile has been in a severe prior accident or a home has a wet basement. Make no mistake, fraud is rampant in New Jersey. The Division of Consumer Affairs reports that the largest source of complaints concern car dealers and home improvement contractors. However there are other dishonest businesses that rip off consumers for small amounts of money – which add up to a lot of profits for the business. When the amount is small, you may think that your damages are too small to hire an attorney and may not be worth the time to do something about it. The New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act Fortunately, New Jersey has a remedy – the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act- is the strongest consumer protection law in the nation. If you have been the victim of a misrepresentation, deception, fraud, false pretense or the omission of an important material fact, you may be entitled to three times your damages plus payment of your attorney’s fees by the defendant business if you have suffered the loss of money. The Consumer Fraud Act covers almost every sale of merchandise and services. The purpose of the Act is to promote honesty and fair dealing in the marketplace. For example, any affirmative misrepresentation by a seller results in liability regardless of whether the representation was made in good faith or negligently. Businesses are presumed to have a superior knowledge of the goods and services that they sell as well as superior knowledge of the laws and regulations that
govern your business. Accordingly, they are strictly liable for committing consumer fraud. Michael J. Deem The purpose of the Act is to encourage private attorneys to represent consumers in disputes that involve small damages otherwise consumers would not be able to obtain representation. The defendant is required to pay the successful consumer’s attorney’s fees and costs. An Ounce Of Prevention Is Worth A Pound Of Cure When you deal with a home-improvement contractor or other seller, try to limit the amount that you make as a down payment. The more money that pay a contractor upfront, the greater the risk they will delay the job, not return to finish the work, or not make corrections. There have been many stories where a contractor took a deposit and never returned to start the job or only did a little work and never returned. When purchasing a used car, you should always get a CARFAX and you should always take the vehicle to your trusted mechanic and have it tested. Make sure that any verbal representations that are made by the dealer are put in writing. Always read the agreement! Many times, the agreements contain paragraphs that limit the liability of the seller, require you to give up consumer protection rights, or say things that are completely opposite from that which the seller has verbally promised. Although “Buyer Beware” is not the law in New Jersey, not reading or understanding the terms of the agreement you sign is no defense—the seller is not required to explain the agreement and you cannot rely on the verbal representations when entering into a written contract. The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle most consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. A contingency means if there is no recovery, there is no fee.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of oct 26 - nov 1
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The week ahead can offer opportunities to bring some of your dreams to fruition. Be vigilant about obeying the rules and taking care of shared duties since a partner might feel like they are stuck doing it all. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your hard work won’t be taken for granted in the week ahead. You might receive more recognition for your achievements than anticipated. Spend some quality time with a loved one and your dreams could come true. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your logic will come in handy when you are at work or performing a job. You can ensure that your position is secure by being sensitive to subtle hints and gentle reminders. Your partner will offer perceptive ideas this week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Duty comes first. Get your everyday tasks completed before you head off for the art show, the soccer field or a visit with friends. The first half of the week may be ideal to arrange a consultation with a professional. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may feel invisible or that you blend in with the scenery during the week ahead. Just because you aren’t the center of attention doesn’t mean that anyone loves you less. Enjoy being part of a comfortable family unit. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Focus on owning things that will provide lasting pleasure and on relationships that withstand the test of time. In the week ahead, your friends will enjoy your imaginative ideas, and you may grow closer to
loved ones. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Place more emphasis on compatibility than combativeness. Enjoy numerous romantic moments in the upcoming week, but don’t attempt to put joint plans into motion when you sense friction may occur. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may have stars in your eyes in the upcoming week, but that’s a good thing because this helps you look for love in all the right places. Other people may find you more attractive than usual, so make first impressions count. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your upcoming week can be filled with helpful opportunities. Your judgement may be better than usual about financial matters, but you may also be frustrated by a situation that involves a bill. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Even the most dedicated, hardworking individual deserves some time off. Embrace any opportunity to relax or enjoy a little recreation in the upcoming week. Be on the lookout, as an unexpected offer might answer your prayers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the week ahead, your home can become a place where you can work on a fascinating hobby or a meeting place for friends and extended family. Your best supporters and advisors are within the family circle. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The first half of the week is a perfect time to meet a romantic partner if you hope to achieve a meeting of the minds as well as the bodies. Someone’s helpful advice can put you on the right path to achieve a key goal.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen A Light, Crisp Salad That Also Hints At Autumn By Wolfgang Puck ASIANPEARSALADWITHYUZU-MISODRESSING Serves 4 YUZU-MISO DRESSING 7 tablespoons white, or sweet, miso 1/3 cup (85 ml) bottled yuzu juice 3 tablespoons Asian-style toasted sesame oil 1 cup (250 ml) canola oil Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper ASIAN PEAR SALAD 1 large ripe Asian pear 1 bunch curly endive or frisée, large stems removed, leaves torn into small bite-sized pieces 1 bunch watercress, rinsed and dried, large stems discarded, leaves separated into small bite-sized clusters 1 head radicchio, leaves separated and trimmed, cut diagonally into thin julienne strips 2 large scallions, trimmed, white and light-green parts cut diagonally into thin slices, dark-green parts cut lengthwise into very thin strips resembling grass 2 purple or green shiso leaves or fresh Thai basil or regular basil, rolled up and cut crosswise to make thin strips 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh cilantro leaves 1/2 cup (125 ml) bottled Asian crispy fried shallots, or crispy fried onions 1/2 cup (125 ml) whole roasted cashews 1 tablespoon toasted black sesame seeds, coarsely ground in a clean spice mill or with a mortar and pestle
First, make the Yuzu-Miso Dressing. In a nonreactive mixing bowl, whisk together the miso and yuzu juice. Whisking continuously, drizzle in the sesame oil until fully incorporated. Continue whisking and drizzle in the canola oil to form a thick, smooth dressing. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Set the dressing aside. For the salad, cut the Asian pear lengthwise into quarters and stem, core, and seed them. With a paring knife, carefully peel each quarter. Insert the medium julienne blade on a mandoline and, carefully moving one quarter at a time lengthwise across the blade, cut the Asian pear into julienne strips. (Keep your fingers away from the cutting surface.) Spread the strips of Asian pear on a double layer of paper towels to absorb excess liquid, but do not press on them. Transfer the Asian pear julienne to a large mixing bowl. Add the curly endive, watercress, radicchio, scallions, shiso or basil, and cilantro leaves. Toss all the ingredients thoroughly. Then, drizzle and toss in enough of the Yuzu-Miso Dressing to coat the ingredients lightly but evenly. To serve the salad, divide the mixture evenly among 4 large chilled serving plates, mounding the salad neatly in the center. Divide the crispy salads evenly among the tops of the salad mounds. Drizzle the remaining dressing evenly over and around the salads. Distribute toasted cashews around the salads. Sprinkle ground black sesame seeds over the salads and around the plates. Serve immediately.
