Soldiers Overseas Request Christmas Decorations
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Troops serving overseas are in a hostile, harsh environment, and welcome anything that reminds them of home. And nothing says a piece of home like Christmas decorations. Lloyd Mullikin, a Bayville resident and a veteran, has been collecting items to send to troops. He ships them in boxes to soldiers that he has been in contact with, so that he knows exactly what
they are looking for. “With Christmas coming, I am starting to be asked for simple decorating items, such as lighting, etc.,” Mullikin wrote to some of the folks who regularly support his mission. “Nothing fancy, just cheap dollar store items,” came the request of a soldier serving in Afghanistan. One Base Commander has told him that they set

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – It’s that time of year once again. Time to put away the Halloween decorations, prepare those Thanksgiving recipes, and – most important – enroll in health insurance plans. The 2020 Open Enrollment period has begun, running from November 1 to December 15, 2019. For those who may live on lower incomes or simply cannot afford costly health insurance premiums, fear not. The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, is still in effect. If you don’t have health insurance provided through a job, Medicare, Medicaid, etc., live in the U.S. and are a U.S. citizen, you can visit the Healthcare Marketplace to apply for coverage from the government. Despite numerous attacks by the Trump administration, Obamacare remains standing with approximately 4.1 million individuals enrolled in ACA health insurance plans for 2019, according to a report by BBC. Since its implementation in 2010, the ACA has helped millions receive the health care they need. “Before the ACA, health insurance was unaffordable and unavailable for many. Now, with Obamacare, if you meet certain qualifications, the government will help pay for your monthly premiums and out-of-pocket cost. And for those who have preexisting medical conditions, you can no longer be denied coverage under Obamacare,” according to the ACA website. While the Trump administration has been successful in repealing the Obamacare requirement which dictates that one must buy health insurance or pay a tax penalty, the law itself still stands. Beginning November 1, 2019, you can begin your application to enroll in a 2020 health plan. You must enroll before December 15, 2019 unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period. There are certain life changes that can qualify you for a Special Enrollment Period including getting married, having a baby or adopting a child, getting divorced or legally separated, death of someone on your marketplace plan, moving, and loss of health insurance among others, according to Healthcare.gov. Plans sold during the 2020 Open Enrollment period will take effect on January 1, 2020. In addition, the amount you pay for insurance (Act - See Page 5)

In addition, Callie, Gabriella, and Cheyenne created character education lessons and a kindness tree where students will be able to post positive messages to make each other’s day.

These are awarded to girls who display leadership while engaging in projects that benefit their communities, according to the Girl Scouts organization. Troop Leader Rommel added that the Silver Award requires a minimum of 50 hours of project work for girls in grades
6-8 and must be a sustainable project that continues to provide benefits long after the work is done. Going above and beyond these requirements, Callie, Gabriella and Cheyenne each put in over 60 hours on their projects. “The girls did an amazing job working over the summer to complete their projects and the entire school is thankful for their work,” said Ridgeway Principal Nikki Mazur.

7 Years After Sandy, Many Still Battling A Broken System
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – This year marked the 7th anniversary of the day Superstorm Sandy struck the Jersey coast, taking over 140 lives and causing at least $70 billion in damage. While many would say the Jersey Shore is on the mend or nearly healed, there are a remaining few who continue to feel the lasting effects of Sandy’s devastation at home. State and local leaders came together recently to draw attention to the flaws in recovery programs and the rising cost of flood insurance that have kept so many from fully rebuilding their homes destroyed by Sandy, even now in 2019. The Quinn family of Silverton in Toms River is one of these families. Seven years ago, storm surges from the Barnegat Bay sent three foot waves crashing into Doug Quinn’s ranch-style home, flooding the house where he lived with his
teenaged daughter with four feet of water. Later, Quinn became one of many who were underpaid by their flood insurance company after Sandy. Despite a $254,000 damage assessment and $250,000 in flood insurance coverage, the Quinn’s initially received only $92,000, of which their mortgage company held half, leaving them with little money to remediate and rebuild. Quinn spent years tied up in the NJ Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Elevation, and Mitigation (RREM) Program, which was created under the Christie Administration. The RREM Program is meant to provide grant awards to the primary residences of homeowners for activities necessary to restore their storm-damaged homes, including reconstruction, rehabilitation, elevation and/or other mitigation activities, according to the NJ Department of Community Affairs. The holdup ended up costing him even
more, adding $42,000 in legal fees in the fight to get what he was entitled to rebuild. On Oct. 27, 2019, nearly seven years to the day Sandy hit, Quinn was joined by Senator Bob Menendez, and other Sandy survivors and advocates as he returned to his fi nally-rebuilt home. “We are happy to fi nally get home after Superstorm Sandy,” said Quinn. The Quinn family was first visited by Sen. Menendez in July 2014, when they discussed the systemic problems that delayed recovery for thousands of Sandy survivors. “When I visited Doug’s storm-wrecked home back in 2014, I made a promise that I wouldn’t stop fighting until he and his family could return home. It’s been an honor to keep that promise, but I won’t be satisfied until we fix what’s broken,” said Sen. Menendez. The theme of the Oct. 27 celebration at Quinn’s newly-rebuilt home was ‘fi nished

but undone,’ because while the Quinns fi nally regained their home, many other families have not and there is much work to be done to fix disaster recovery systems. “The fact that it took seven years shows just how broken disaster recovery is in America and how badly the National Flood Insurance Program needs to be reformed,” said Quinn. “American families need affordable flood insurance and the senator’s NFIP reauthorization bill promises to deliver that by eliminating the waste and fraud that have come to characterize the program” Sen. Menendez, chair of the Sandy Task Force and a senior member of the Senate Banking Committee that oversees the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), authored the National Flood Insurance Program Reauthorization and Reform (NFIPRe) Act of 2019, which “tackles systemic (Sandy - See Page 9)

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.

Sandy:
Continued From Page 5 problems with flood insurance, puts it back on solid fiscal ground, and reframes the nation’s entire disaster paradigm to one that focuses more on prevention and mitigation to spare the high cost of rebuilding after flood disasters,” according to officials. Menendez claims that “without real reform, we’ll be facing the same exact problems we faced after Superstorm Sandy when the next storm comes.” The NFIP-Re caps premiums to keep flood insurance affordable but also includes individual and community wide mitigation. Affordable flood insurance is key to ensuring the revival and survival of coastal communities, according to Joe Mangino, President of the New Jersey Organizing Project (NJOP). “If our flood insurance rates triple or quadruple over the next four years all this fighting we have done over the last 7 years to get myself, Doug and other families home will be useless because we will be forced out and our communities will crumble,” said Mangino. NFIP-Re also holds insurance companies accountable for underpayment, and eliminates the ‘earth movement’ clause that plagued some Sandy survivors. The earth movement clause is an exclusion found in many property insurance policies eliminating coverage for loss resulting from earth movement, except ensuing fi re, according to IRMI. More than five million American families, including more than 220,000 New Jerseyans, depend upon the NFIP, which Congress must reauthorize before it expires next month. “The current NFIP does not work for our communities and we need to see a better, affordable and a fair NFIP. We support the NFIP Re as it works for us and our communities - not the insurance companies,” stated Jody Stewart of the NJOP. “New Jersey Organizing Project’s goal is to see every Sandy survivor get home and be able to afford to stay in their homes.” Another Sandy survivor, and organizer with the NJOP, Alison Arne highlighted that this is not just a coastal issue but a statewide issue, as 95 percent of NJ municipalities have flood insurance claims filed. “And that’s why the NFIP-Re is so important, it puts billions of dollars into mitigation. For every $1 we spend in mitigation, we save $6 in disaster recovery,” she added. In addition to flawed recovery programs or costly flood insurance premiums, organizations like NJOP are working to address another issue: clawbacks. A clawback is the recovery of monies already paid by insurance companies or programs requiring storm survivors to pay back their own insurance money, a loan, or a grant because of “an outdated and dysfunctional disaster recovery system,” as the NJOP puts it. Robert Wachendorf of Brick Township is yet another Sandy survivor, one who has lost nearly everything to the storm and now faces a fear of clawbacks. Wachendorf and his family were displaced
The Manchester Times, November 9, 2019, Page 9 by Sandy and are still not yet returned home, residing in a rental for the time being. “A clawback can be very damaging to our family since we’ve recently exhausted our savings and are now saddled with heavy credit card debt,” he explained. Mangino visited the Wachendorf family on Oct. 27, along with other leaders including Congressman Andy Kim, at their rental home.
“It’s tragic that Robert and Kristine’s children have spent either all or most of their lives as displaced Sandy victims. They deserve to have family stability. Recovery programs need to work faster and more efficiently than what is currently taking place with Sandy recovery,” Mangino said. Some action has been taken already, when Governor Phil Murphy put a freeze on clawbacks in 2018. However, the problem has not yet been solved. As NJOP stated, a
freeze does not mean money is not owed, just that repayment is not due at this time. Congressman Kim added: “It breaks my heart when families tell me they are still not in their homes after Superstorm Sandy…To those of you whose homes were damaged, to those of you scammed by fraud or treated unfairly, to those of you worried about the next storm or flood, I promise you I will keep fighting for you and your families.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Assembly Needs To Pass Code Blue Law Although homelessness is not a seasonal issue, it certainly is a social issue that gains more focus and public attention as the summer season gives way to the dropping temperatures of the fall. Here in New Jersey, our State Legislature has taken significant steps to help the homeless or those defined by law as “at risk individuals” as the temperature drops through the creation of the Code Blue alert program. The Code Blue alert program presently allows individual County Emergency Management coordinators to declare a Code Blue when temperatures are projected to reach 25 degrees Fahrenheit or lower without precipitation or 32 degrees or lower with precipitation. A Code Blue alert can also be declared if the National Weather Ser-
vice wind-chill temperature will be zero degrees Fahrenheit or less for a period of two hours or more. Upon declaration of a Code Blue alert, individual municipalities are authorized to open up emergency warming centers to provide shelter to those in need, those who are at risk for weather related exposure or possible death. Between November 2018 and March of 2019, the Township of Toms River utilized the Riverwood Fieldhouse at Riverwood Park for its emergency warming center. On nights when a Code Blue was declared, the Township was averaging between 25-40 individuals who were seeking shelter from the elements. Each of these individuals received a hot meal for dinner and a warm and safe place to sleep. During the course of the 2018-2019 Code Blue program, the Toms River Town-
ship Council was alerted to an issue with the present state of the Code Blue law that did not appear to coincide with the spirit of why the law was initially drafted. On Christmas Eve, 2018, the temperature in Toms River dropped below 25 degrees Fahrenheit. The weather was dry, there was no precipitation, and thus the Code Blue was declared and at risk residents were able to have a warm and safe place to reside. On Christmas Day, 2018, the temperatures rose to 28 degrees Fahrenheit, but because it was sunny and there was no precipitation, the Code Blue alert by law could not be declared. Simply put, the temperature rose from 24 degrees Fahrenheit to 28 degrees Fahrenheit, and as a result, the Code Blue was not declared, the warming center did not open, and the “at risk individuals” were left at risk.
Recognizing that below freezing is below freezing, whether or not there is precipitation, the Toms River Township Council passed a resolution calling upon our State Legislature to draft a bill authorizing the declaration of a Code Blue when temperatures reach 32 degrees Fahrenheit regardless of precipitation. Senator Robert W. Singer, Deputy Minority Leader, Legislative District 30, immediately responded to Toms River Township’s call for assistance, drafting and acting as the Primary Sponsor for New Jersey Senate Bill S3422. New Jersey Senate Bill S3422 proposes a change to the Code Blue alert program to allow for a Code Blue to be declared once temperatures reach 32 degrees Fahrenheit, regardless of precipitation. Senate Bill S3422 is also sponsored by
Senator Thomas H. Kean, Jr., Senator Declan J. O’Scanlon, Jr., and Senator Vin Gopal. On June 20, 2019, New Jersey Senate Bill S3422 was presented before the full Senate for a vote and passed overwhelmingly with 34 Senators in support and 2 Senators not in support of the change in the law. On this same date, this proposed bill was referred to the New Jersey State Assembly for consideration, and is presently under consideration in the Assembly Homeland Security and State Preparedness Committee. I am respectfully calling upon our Representatives in the New Jersey State Assembly to take action and support S3422. Simply put, this bill will save lives and will provide the protection to at risk individuals that was certainly contemplated and intended with the original legislation. I am respectfully indicating
to our Representatives in the New Jersey State Assembly that time is of the essence, that the weather temperatures are dropping, and that the Assembly’s support of S3422 can help make a difference in the lives of many at risk individuals this winter. New Jersey Senate Bill S3422 is a non-partisan bill that is designed to protect members of our community that our struggling. It provides an opportunity for all of us to come together and make a positive change in our community. Please join me in encouraging our State Assembly to support the action of our State Senate, and to advance New Jersey Senate Bill S3422 to the desk of Governor Murphy. Terrance L. Turnbach Toms River Township Council, Ward 4
Letters To The Editor No Reporting On Little Egg Harbor As the saying goes no news is good news, or is it? If you are a subscriber of the Asbury Park or the Atlantic City Press and live in Southern Ocean County you may have noticed that they both are devoid of local news. We are either too far north or too far south to have a reporter assigned to cover our area. It is no secret that the printed
media is under financial pressure. Advertising revenue is down and the digital media has taken its toll. Our dependence on local news rests almost entirely with social media and the Sandpaper, a Long Beach Island weekly that reports local events but by no means will awarded a Pulitzer for investigative journalism. At one time both the Asbury Park and Atlantic City Press had a reporter assigned to cover Little Egg’s municipal

business, these reporters have since retired or reassigned and not replaced. While the Atlantic City Press is designated as the official newspaper for Little Egg Harbor, and receives a sizable amount of revenue from the Township they do not have a reporter assigned to the Township. The loss of reliable local news source has many consequences one of them is the inability to watchdog the actions of government agencies and elected officials. With attendance at town council meetings at an all-time low, transparency has become an issue. Little Egg Harbor has scaled back on the number of scheduled meetings from what was once 21 a year to 16. It used to be that if you couldn’t attend a town council meeting, you could read about it the next day in your local paper, today that’s simply no longer the case. Without community journalism digging through property records or attending city council meetings, looking for official wrongdoing and revealing secret deals,
Letters To days The Editor local politicians will operate of precipitous drops, a more credible his rambling unchecked - with predictable consequences. Recently the publisher of the A/C news stated that he will strengthen their commitment to community journalism, hopefully that will include Southern Ocean County and if not, as the saying goes no news is good news, or is it? Art Mooney Little Egg Harbor
It’s Naïve To Believe Trump Still A recent letter decries media criticism of Donald Trump. She tells us he’s “doing a great job” but offers no specifics to back up that very general statement. Like most Trump supporters she’d likely point to the economy even though the economic upturn began under President Obama before continuing under Trump. And while there have been days of tremendous gains on Wall Street during Trump’s term there have also been
sign of the turbulence and uncertainty caused in part by his erratic behavior and questionable policy decisions. Two comments from her letter seem worthy of a response from someone not in agreement with her assessments. She claims Obama never had to deal with the same media scrutiny as Trump. Anyone who watched ten minutes of Fox News during the Obama years knows that not to be true. It bears noting that many of their attacks were not on his policies but extended into non political matters like the absurd “birther” conspiracy or the “Latte Salute.” Another comment stuck in my craw was her description of CNN and MSNBC viewers as “naive.” It seems more naive to take the word of a pathological liar over any media outlet that offers independent corroboration for their claims. Of course Trump supporters are always willing to dismiss evidence of his criminal behavior as “fake news” and instead find
wildly speculative twitter rants. She is entitled to her beliefs. She has the right to believe a man with a history of shady business practices is now committed to the betterment of the working man. She is free to believe that hundreds of dedicated public servants in the intelligence field are lying about both 2016 and ongoing election interference. She is free to believe Trump’s boast of wiping out the federal deficit is best served by giving huge tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans and corporations. She is entitled to believe his childish behavior is warranted and not the defensive posturing of a man boxed into a corner by his own lies. She is entitled to believe all these things and more in spite of mounting evidence suggesting a man guilty of multiple criminal acts. To many of us though it does seem a bit “naive.” Bill Pane Farmingdale

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE OCC Repertory Theatre Company Performs “On Golden Pond”
TOMS RIVER — The Ocean County College Repertory Theatre Company will present “On Golden Pond” in the Black Box Theatre at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts from, through Sunday, November17. The Grunin Center is located on the main campus of Ocean County College, on College Drive in Toms River. “On Golden Pond,” written by Ernest Thompson, centers on Ethel and Norman Thayer, who return to their summer home on Golden Pond for the 48th year. They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé, who then go off to
Europe, leaving the man’s teenage son behind for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the “grandchild” the elderly couple have longed for, and as Norman revels in taking his ward fishing and thrusting good books at him, he also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness – and slang – in return. Performances: Sunday, November 10, at 2:00 p.m. Thursday, November 14, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, November 15, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, November 16, at 8:00 p.m. Sunday, November 17, at 2:00 p.m. Cast: Norman Thayer Jr. – Paul Caliendo Ethel Thayer – Annette Curran Charlie Martin – Patrick Carty Chelsea Thayer Wayne – Terri O’Neil Billy Ray – Kyle Bodie Bill Ray – Will Salmons Tickets Adult $15 / Senior or Child $12 (Call for Group Rates). 92.7 WOBM is the official media sponsor of the 2019-2020 Grunin Center Season.

OCVTS Performing Arts Academy Brings ‘The Crucible’ To Grunin Center TOMS RIVER — The Ocean County Vocational Technical School Performing Arts Academy will take to the main stage of the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts on Friday, November 15, and Saturday, November 16, to present “The Crucible.” The Grunin Center is located on the main campus of Ocean County College, on College Drive in Toms River. The year is 1692. The location is Salem, Massachusetts. A group of young girls led by the reverend’s niece, Abigail, are found dancing in the woods. When discovered by the reverend, his daughter falls ill. The next day, it’s discovered that another family’s child – Ruth Putnam – has similar symptoms. The Putnams have lost most of their children at birth, so when their only living child starts to wither, they demand answers. In order to determine the cause of their illness, Abigail leads the Puritans to believe that witches are to blame. This fear causes irrational suspicion to spread through the community. In addition to avoiding punishment, Abigail has an alternative motive behind her accusation of the Salem women. Before the events of the play, Abigail had an affair with John Proctor, and she is jealous of John’s wife, Elizabeth, who becomes one of the accused. The entire town is ignorant to Abigail’s true goals, and their fear and wrath become a more powerful force than witchcraft. With neighbor turning on neighbor, the townspeople are left wondering, “Who’s next?” At first, the accused are the poor and homeless, the ones who have strayed from the community’s beliefs. Then the unimaginable happens: the

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Does My Insurance Have A Hearing Aid Benefit? It can be quite confusing figuring out whether your insurance carries a hearing aid benefit. What we do know is MEDICARE does not pay for hea r i ng aids and M EDICA I D does. However, many secondary insurances have a hearing aid benefit if you’re willing to spend hours of your time on the phone speaking with a live representative to give you that information. To save you time, this is what I know: First, a large majority of CIGNA plans have a hearing aid benefit. This benef it is administered by a 3 rd party administrator called Amplifon. You are required to register through Amplifon’s portal such that the Audiologists st aff can assess your benefits information and print it out. Second, many of the AETNA pla ns have a hea r i ng aid benef it either through a 3 rd par ty such as Amplifon or a f lat monetary benefit that is paid to the Audiologist. This benefit can range from $500 to $750 in most cases. Third, those of you that have Federal BC/BS typically have a $1250 hear ing aid benef it per ear. In addition, those Federal employees can also choose to go th rough a 3 rd par t y ad minist rator such as TruHearing. Fourth, many of the Ford and/or General Motors
retirees have a hearing aid benefit a d m i n ist e r e d t h roug h 3 r d pa r t ie s such as American Hearing Benefits (AHB) or AudioNet. Other 3d party administrators include HEAR USA, EPIC, and Your Hearing Network. The best advice that I can give you is to provide your Audiologist with your insurance information so that they can verify your benefits. In the vast majority of these plans, you will save a significant amount of money taking advantage of your 3 rd party benefit. The pitfalls of these plans include the following: Most of these plans do not offer long 0% interest plans The Audiologist is limited to specific manufact urers for the hearing aid selected. In many cases, this may not be the best hearing instrument for the patient’s lifestyle and listening needs The Audiologist can charge for their time after the first year of services D r. I z z y is always available to answer your questions about most hearing care issues.

Peppermint Is A Cool Solution For IBS By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Many people have lost their joy in eating and that’s because they have Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS which includes many symptoms including bloating, abdominal pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and suppressed immunity. One hallmark symptom is that which affects your ability to eliminate. I’m referring to diarrhea, or constipation, or alternating between the two. An actual diagnosis of IBS is based upon your duration of symptoms which must be six months or more. If you’re tired of the problem, and sad because you have to toilet-map every trip to the mall, then maybe peppermint is something you should try. Peppermint is a beautiful plant that has been medicinally treasured for centuries. Known botanically as Mentha piperita, peppermint is actually a hybrid! It’s the hybrid baby of its parents watermint and spearmint. Most people know that applying peppermint essential oil to your temples can help with a headache, and that peppermint gum and candies freshen your breath. Mint leaves can be infused into a pitcher of ice water for instant freshness, not to mention antibacterial and anti-fungal effects. I think that’s where mint excels for people, it has been proven to help with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and IBS. Peppermint is available at any health food store (soft gels and liquid extracts) and supermarket (usually as a tea). You can also buy it in the produce section of some supermarkets as fresh whole leaf. The supplements of peppermint oil (enteric coated) are considered a
relatively safe, effective traditional holistic remedy. I’m not referring to essential oil, I’m referring to a dietary supplement of peppermint oil which acts as a smooth muscle relaxant inside your intestines, as well as an antispasmodic herb. It is also known to help with gas, bloating, and minor cramping. The latest study published in the August 27, 2019 issue of Gastroenterology was conducted in part, to evaluate the safety and efficacy for peppermint in people with IBS. They used two different formulations that would go to certain parts of the intestine. They got about 190 people to agree to participate, across several hospitals in the Netherlands. This trial ran from 2016 to 2018. The enteric coated (small intestine release) preparation of peppermint did in fact prove to help reduce abdominal pain, discomfort, and general IBS severity. Here’s a few words of caution. The enteric coated form is ideal because plain peppermint oil can irritate the stomach lining and make heartburn and ulcers worse. The enteric coating protects the peppermint oil so that it can get down lower to your intestines (rather than breaking down in your stomach). Avoid peppermint if you have GERD which is a disorder of the lower part of your esophagus. My rationale is because peppermint relaxes your esophageal sphincter and will allow acid to reflux upwards. That’s what you are trying to avoid! So antacids and peppermint supplements should not be combined. There are other warnings, so please ask your doctor if this type of herbal remedy is good for you.

Actor Comes Home To Star In “Guys And Dolls”
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – All Nathan Detroit wants is to host a crap game. He gambles more than he bargained for. It’s the love of the game – and the money – that inspires much of the madcap action in “Guys and Dolls.” Nathan Detroit is in the middle of it all, and that’s why Jared Gertner loves to play that character. He’ll
be donning the suit for Axelrod Theater’s upcoming run of the musical. Gertner, who now lives in Los Angeles, came back to his roots for the show. He played the same character when he was a freshman at Toms River High School North. “There are lines that I still hear in my head the way they were said 25 years ago,” he said. He remembers the laughs that came
from that production – inside jokes that only come when a group of friends works long hours together. He remembers the mistakes they made back then that are being righted in today’s professional production. That crew from North are still some of his best friends. “It’s been a very nostalgic few weeks,” he said. “It’s fun to revisit it as a grown-
up instead of as a kid pretending to be a grown-up. “When you’re 14 doing a show with friends, you’re just doing it because you love it,” he said. When it’s done as a career, there’s a different balancing act that has to be done. “I’m lucky to be able to make a living as an actor,” he said. He’s been to Broadway and beyond. He won an award for “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” in New York. He received an Olivier nomination for Best Lead Actor in a Musical for his portrayal of Elder Cunningham in the opening London run of “The Book of Mormon.” He has appeared in shows like “Supernatural” and his voice can be heard in “Smallfoot,” “American Dad,” and others. He was recently inducted into the Toms River Regional Schools Hall of Fame. Some of the co-stars are familiar faces. Miss Adelaide is played by Jenny Hill, who used to perform with Gertner at the Red Oak Music Theater in Lakewood. Sky Masterson is played by Stephen Mark Lukas, who was Elder Price with him in “Book of Mormon.” The show will run through Nov. 17 at the Axelrod PAC at 100 Grant Ave. in Deal Park.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Interruption In Waiting Room
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7 • 11AM TO 3PM
Dear Joel, Recently, while in my doctor’s waiting room completing paperwork a middle-aged man sat down, proceeded to turn on his electronic device and watch a movie. Not only was the volume loud, it was competing with the television, as well as front-desk telephones and conversation. I moved as far away as I could, but the room is small. I was tempted to ask him to turn it down, but I was concerned as to what his reaction would be. What is your suggestion for situations like this? Answer: You are not alone; many others have experienced similar situations. I personally have left a waiting room and stood outside. However, you should not be inconvenienced or uncomfortable. In order to avoid a confrontation, I would suggest speaking with the front desk or the
office manager. Explain the situation and request that the person be quietly spoken to or removed from the area, and that signage requesting ‘courtesy’ be posted to avoid future incidents. If the office does not wish to address the immediate situation, then request to be put in an exam room or office. Also, I would not hesitate to share your feelings with your physician, they may be unaware of the daily practice goings on and would be happy to put policies in place to avoid future issues. 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

By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates A sig n if icant percent age of the motor vehicles that travel though our community are either uninsured or underinsured. To protect against the harms and losses caused by uninsured or under i nsu red motor ist s, automobile insurance companies are obligated by law to provide uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to those motorists who pu r ch a se St a nd a rd p ol icie s. A lt h o u g h u n d e r i n s u r e d m ot o r i s t (UIM) coverage is not mandator y, typically they are sold hand-in-hand with UM endorsements and are found in virtually all Standard automobile insurance policies in New Jersey. As the name suggests, UM /UIM coverage is that element of an ins u r e d’s ow n p ol ic y of i n s u r a n c e under which he or his family may b e c omp e n s at e d for i nju r ie s a nd losses suffered at the hands of an uninsured or underinsured motorist. This coverage also applies when you are injured as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle. UM/UIM insurance is very inexpensive yet very important. It is designed to protect you and your family.

For instance, you are sitting at a red light m i ndi ng you r business when all of the sudden a drunk runs a red light, crashes into your vehicle and causes you to spend the next week in the hospital with multiple permanent, internal injuries. Your only source of compensation for pain, suffering and unpaid medical bills may come from your UM/ UIM insurance policy if the drunk was uninsured or underinsured. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. And although the failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment many people deliberately do not carry insurance or do not realize that their insurance policy has expired or been cancelled. Never rely upon a stranger to protect you and your family. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is your responsibility. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The most common cause of death during an overdose is respiratory failure when the brain forgets to breathe due to the effects of opioids on the nervous system. Permanent brain damage could result, and the long-term consequences very, based on how long the brain has gone without an adequate supply of oxygen. Naloxone, or Narcan, is an opiate antidote that blocks or reverses the effects of opioids, and it has been used by emergency room doctors and paramedics for years. NJ police and EMTs carry the drug, but oftentimes emergency personnel are not first on the scene during an overdose, so Narcan is becoming more available to the public. “Narcan is just one of the tools to help with survival and recovery,” said Susan Heil, who is a registered nurse with the Ocean County Health Department. Heil brought about 20 doses of Narcan to the Brick Library for free training and distribution of the drug. She said that most people have received a prescription painkiller in their lifetime, whether it is cough syrup with codeine, Percocet, or fentanyl patches. Almost everybody has been affected by the opioid epidemic, whether it’s a family member, a friend of your kid, or “a jerk who cut you off in traffic,” Heil said. The public perception is “Hollywood” that people using drugs are all “scum of the earth,” she said, but the epidemic is broad-reaching. “How many addictions started innocently by getting a prescription? A large percentage,” she said. “I hear it over and over again, and the mindset on this has not changed. We are still prescribing.” Heil said she has heard the argument that if Narcan is free, why aren’t drugs like insulin free as well? “This opioid crisis is man-made, and our response is we - the medical community and big pharma - created the problem, and we should have a response,” she said. One man came into the library for the Narcan distribution and training because his daughter is a heroin addict and lives at home. He wants to be ready in case she overdoses. “When I deal with parents, the anger, hurt and heartbreak can almost be overwhelming,” Heil said. “I feel for these people anyone would.” Several people who plan to go into the
healthcare or emergency responder fields came for the Narcan training and distribution. Jackson resident Kevin Makwinski, 26, said he is trying to get a job as a police officer or a corrections officer, and he wanted to “take the class to get ahead of the game.” He said administering Narcan “seems pretty easy.” Makwinski said that while he was in high school on Long Island, two of his friends died from heroin overdoses. Using a dummy to demonstrate, Heil said if you suspect someone has overdosed, the first thing to do is call 911. “Say [to the 911 operator] ‘My friend is unconscious and not breathing,’” Heil said. The second step is to try to rouse the victim using a sternal rub with your knuckles. If they don’t wake up, they’re unconscious, she said. The third step is to get air into that person by administering rescue breaths. “Make sure the chest rises at least two times, and if they’re not coming to, roll them on their side and give them a first dose of Narcan by squirting it in their nose,” Heil said. The Narcan could take effect right away or it could take a few minutes, depending on what they took and how much, she said. Each Narcan kit comes with a breathing mask and two spray doses of Narcan, so if they do not regain consciousness after the first dose, spritz the other nostril with the second dose. Meanwhile, continue rescue breaths until EMS arrives. Heil said many addicts continue to use drugs because the pain of withdrawal is so bad they think they’re going to die. After the victim regains consciousness, they will be “confused and not happy” because the Narcan put them into immediate withdrawal, which is painful. Stay with them until EMS arrives, she said. “Addiction is not like a moral failing,” Heil said. “Narcan won’t cure you, but it can give you a pathway to recovery.” To help the community combat the opioid epidemic, the Ocean County Health Department and the Brick Police Department are offering additional free Narcan training and distribution sessions on Dec. 12 from 2 - 4 p.m. at the Brick Library, and at the Civic Plaza Recreation Center at 270 Chambers Bridge Road on Feb. 12 and April 8 from 7-9 p.m. To register for the cou rses email Cpolicing@brickpd.com.

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 to meet him. Please help this message find a way to Gordon Ramsay! She is a great kid and Gordon Ramsay is her idol! She’d even be happy with a phone call from him. Her room has a cardboard cut out of Gordon…she LOVES him. Please help a little girl with cancer get her wish!” In the post, a photo shows 12-year-
old Kallista rocking her short pixie cut with blond on top, somewhat mirroring Ramsay’s own signature cut, holding a sign that says “Cancer Can Suck It.” Less than 24 hours after the post went up, Flores stood next to Ramsay at Kallista’s school, preparing the surprise of her life. “This fine individual right here is actually at my daughter’s school,” began Flores, standing next to Ramsay in the video. “To be here in Toms River in between shoots…I’m just absolutely panicking,” said Ramsay, joking about his own poor performance record at school as a kid. Ramsay was in Toms River filming an episode of his show “Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back” at Caneda’s White Rooster. “I can’t wait to meet her,” he added. Flores provided Ramsay with a little bit of background on Kallista’s illness, stating that she was diagnosed last May and now has one year of treatment left to go. She is now in what is considered the maintenance phase in treating B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, her father said in a later interview. Moments before Kallista came through the door, her father noted “There’s going to be a lot of tears.” His prediction was right. As Kallista rounded the corner and saw Ramsay,
she tossed her belongings to the ground and broke into sobs of pure excitement and surprise before running straight to Ramsay for a big hug. “When I see strong girls like you, having three of my own…you inspire me,” Ramsay told her. Between happy tears and jokes about music class, Ramsay managed to make the surprise even better with some macaroons, cake, and cupcakes. Although, he ad m it ted he d id not ma ke t hem himself. He had picked them up at Confections of a Rock$tar in Asbury Park. Flores added that watching Ramsay’s shows “got her t h roug h her ca ncer treatment.” “That’s all she did the whole four months she was in the hospital, we watched cooking show after cooking show,” he added. T he pai r sha red a ma ca roon a nd Ramsay provided Kallista with a bit of inspirational advice: “You are a strong winner, remember that,” he said. Ramsay left off with a promise to keep in touch. Kallista responded “Yes please.” The chef had another surprise for the family. That night, Flores received an email that his daughter’s GoFundMe ( gof u n d me .com /f/te a mk alli sta) ha d reached its goal. That was impossible, he thought, because it was so far away. He checked and sure enough, one dona-
tion 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.”
How To Help Kallista’s treatment costs about $1,100 a month. The fundraising page is still active at gofundme.com/f/teamkallista

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Local Fair, Fall Weather Make For Great Chowderfest
By Kimberly Bosco BEACH HAVEN – While Labor Day may signal the end of summer for many, only true locals know that summer officially culminates with Long Beach Island’s annual Chowderfest. On October 5 and 6, thousands of “chowderheads” flocked to Beach Haven for the annual event, sending off the 2019 summer season with tons of beer, wine, and – of course – chowder. Despite cloudy skies, the scent of red and white chowders warmed the air and festival attendees relished in the chilly fall weather while milling about the Bay Village area, chowder samples in hand. Hosted by the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, the 31st Annual Chowderfest weekend brought out 13,506 chowder enthusiasts, beating out last year’s record-breaking 13,000. “Chowderfest was created to extend the local economy and promote tourism past the traditional Labor Day Weekend. The Sunday October 6 Cook Off was a tremendous success for the entire region,” stated Lori A. Pepenella, Chief Executive Officer of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce. Since its inception, Chowderfest has grown larger each year, attracting attendees and chowder cooks from all over the country, from states such as California, Connecticut, Colorado, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, Massachusetts and Maine. Last year’s event even saw a competitor all the way from Ballyliffin, Ireland. On October 5, the Merchant Mart set up shop throughout Bay Village, featuring tons of local vendors, sidewalk sales, and great deals. The Merchant Mart is always free to the public, a precursor to the main event. On October 6, at 11 a.m., the Chowder Cook-Off Classic kicked off. This year’s cook-off showcased mainly local competitors from the Ocean County area including: Kubel’s Too, Chicken or the Egg, Hotel
LBI, Ocean County College Hospitality Program with booth design from Stockton University, Bread & Brine, Lefty’s Tavern, Mainland Kitchen & Pub, Cluck N’ Crabs, Shore Fire Grille, Bistro 14, Black Whale Bar & Fish House, Country Kettle Chowda, La Bamba, The Woo Hoo, Cuisine on the Green at Atlantis, and Parker’s Garage & Oyster Saloon. While festival-goers indulged in their favorite red, white, or creative chowder selections, live music raged on from the main stage, courtesy of The Impulsives. At 4 p.m., the taste testing commenced and the 2019 Chowderfest winners were announced by members of the Chowderfest Committee, led by event coordinator Todd Elsasser. For New England (white): • Grand Champion: The Chicken Or The Egg • 2nd Place: Hotel LBI • 3rd Place: Kubel’s Too The Chicken of The Egg moved up from their second place win in 2018. Members of the “Chegg” team cheered and high-fived their way to the main stage to accept their hard-earned award. For Manhattan (red): • Grand Champion: Lefty’s Tavern • 2nd Place: Shore Fire Grille • 3rd Place: Bistro 14 Lefty’s Tavern remains on top as the reigning champion of Manhattan chowder. Lefty’s Tavern walked away with two awards this year, also nabbing the title of Most Enthusiastic. The Southern Chamber also noted that Shore Fire Grille’s second place win is dedicated to the memory of the late Timothy Kohlheim. Kohlheim’s wife Samantha led the “Tim’s Tribe” team to the stage for their trophy. Winners for Creative Seafood: • Grand Champion: Country Kettle Chowda for their lobster bisque (Chowderfest - See Page 36)

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Cedar Creek Trestle Extends Barnegat Branch Trail
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The Barnegat Branch Trail will now be connected over Cedar Creek, connecting the trail between Berkeley and Lacey Townships. When complete, the Barnegat Branch Trail will reach from Barnegat Township all the way to Toms River Township. Ocean County officials recently held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the trail connection at the new trestle that sits above Cedar Creek. The trestle provides the connection to the existing 2.75 mile trail from the Cedar Creek to Hickory Lane in Berkeley Township. “This is a key connection on the Barnegat Branch Trail,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines, who is Chairwoman of the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation. “This trail is becoming a true recreational and historical centerpiece. It is well traveled by walkers, joggers and bicyclists… It provides a host of benefits not the least of which is being outside in the fresh air and enjoying nature’s beauty.” Present at the ribbon cutting was also
Freeholder Gary Quinn, Berkeley Township Mayor Carmen F. Amato Jr., Lacey Township Mayor Timothy McDonald along with staff from Ocean County’s Pla n n i ng Depa r t ment, Eng i neer i ng Department and Parks and Recreation Department. The new trestle is a 150-foot prefabricated weathered steel span extending over the width of Cedar Creek. Work on the trestle project began earlier this year. According to officials, the trestle is the longest clear span of any of the county’s bridges. “The placement of the new trestle above some of the pilings of the original trestle allowed the county to maintain some of the historical features of the area while providing a safe path of travel for trail users,” Haines said. Prior to installation, it was shipped in two 75-feet sections. It The trestle was constructed in Alabama, later making its way to Ocean County in two 75-foot sections on trailers. This phase of the trail construction also (Trail - See Page 36)

includes the creation of the 10 foot wide stone dust trail on the Lacey township side, creating a formal parking lot at Hebrew Park and installing interpretive signage, benches, a railroad hand car display and picnic tables. “This section offer residents and visitors better access to Cedar Creek – an environmental jewel in the County,” Haines said. This phase of the work also included

an almost half mile section and extended from South Street at Hebrew Park to the Cedar Creek. When done the linear park will span about 16 miles. “This trail and the ongoing work to move it to completion truly complements Ocean County’s open space program,” Haines said. “The trail represents a great part of our history. It protects our environment and it highlights areas of the County many residents may never have been able to access.”

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Don’t know whether to throw out or recycle that cardboard box? How about bottle caps? Ocean County officials are looking to help residents “recycle right” with the new 2019-2020 Ocean County Recycling Guide. “This guide is one of many on-going public outreach programs making it easy for residents to recycle right,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gary Quinn, who serves as liaison to the recycling program. “Knowing what is recycled in our communities will save everyone time and money in the long run.” The Ocean County Recycling Guide is meant to help address residents’ important recycling questions and concerns. In the guide, you can find information regarding bulky waste disposal, medication/needle disposal and medication drop-off locations, plastic film recycling, single stream recycling, backyard composting and recycling, and more. There is also information available on both of the County’s Recycling Centers as well as the municipal recycling centers. “Our recycling programs allow us to protect the environment and helps us to save space at the landfill,” said Ocean County Freeholder
Director Virginia E. Haines. “With the help of our residents, Ocean County can continue to be a leader in recycling.” So where can you find it? The guide will be available in every municipalities’ town hall and recycling center, as well as the Northern and Southern Recycling Centers in Lakewood and Manahawkin, respectively. It will also be available at the County Connection at the Ocean County Mall, at Ocean County Library branch locations, and in PDF form on the Department of Solid Waste Management’s Facebook page, @ocswm or on the website co.ocean.nj.us/OC/SolidWaste/ frmHomeSW.aspx. “Ocean County residents have always embraced recycling. We want to make certain they have the correct information as programs and requirements have changed over the years,” Quinn said. “Ocean County is making a substantial investment into its recycling program with new equipment, allowing us to stay competitive in an ever-changing market. We encourage our citizens to help in this effort.” For more information, contact the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management at 732-506-5047.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of nov 9 - nov 15
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Learn to get along with your partner by agreeing rather than arguing. You may be challenged by the requirements of a job or stressed by competitive opponents this week, but you can still be polite and cheerful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are as loyal as the day is long, but sometimes you want to have fun with no strings attached. In the upcoming week you can keep your friends amused and your social calendar filled without offending anyone. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gather opinions from friends before you rethink your goals. You may tend to jump into action at the slightest provocation in the first part of the week. Your strong point is a willingness to listen to those you love. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone may show you favoritism or appreciation in the workplace. If you take a step back to view spurts of possessiveness or jealousy as a sign of a loved one’s affection, you can avoid arguments in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your playful attitude and creative approach to problem-solving can strengthen your most important relationships. You often pay attention to cautionary tales, so you may be better prepared than most if things go a little sideways. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone could be delighted to have your company on errands or unique excursions. In the upcoming week, you might have a tendency to go too fast, so take a few deep breaths before jumping onto the expressway.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Every action gets a reaction. Fight the urge to impose your will on others or argue with family members in the week to come. You can find plenty of opportunities to show that you can be charming and witty. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Information gathered through your social network could help you out financially or put you in touch with beautiful things. Keep your ears open for ingenious ideas or changes that can be beneficial in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Since Venus currently blesses your sign, your social life could take off in an upward spiral. Don’t be surprised if you receive more invitations and compliments than usual in the week to come. Colleagues may flatter you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are usually a hard worker, but sometimes you push yourself to the limits of your endurance. In the week ahead, be sure to take frequent breaks and get adequate rest. Friends and family can lighten your load. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your upcoming week could be filled to the brim with exciting changes, as family members share good news or impressive views. Analysis and adaptability are your top two traits and could very well come in handy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your mind and heart can work together to provide a sensible solution to any problems that crop up as this week unfolds. You may be tempted to splurge on something that appeals to your need for comfort.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Grown-Ups And Kids Alike Will Love These Simple Yet Sophisticated Treats For Any Party By Wolfgang Puck CHOCOLATE-DIPPED ORANGE CREAMS Makes 33 to 35 candies 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/3 cup (80 ml) light corn syrup 1 1/2 teaspoons orange oil or orange extract 4 cups (950 ml) confectioners’ sugar, sifted, plus extra as need about 4 ounces (115 g) bittersweet or milk chocolate, finely chopped In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with beaters, or using a large mixing bowl and a handheld electric mixer, combine the butter, corn syrup and orange oil or extract, beating at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Reduce the speed to low and, 2 cups (about 500 ml) at a time, gradually add the sugar, beating just until the mixture starts to come together. Lightly sprinkle a clean work surface with confectioners’ sugar. Remove the mixture from the bowl and, on the work surface, knead it with clean hands until it forms a smooth ball, adding a little more confectioners’sugar if it’s a bit sticky; but don’t add too much, because the mixture should stay creamy. With a rolling pin, roll out the filling into a circle about 8 inches (20 cm) across and 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and set aside to rest for 30 minutes, but do not refrigerate.
Place a sheet of waxed paper on a baking tray. With a 1-inch (2.5-cm) cookie cutter, cut out 27 or 28 rounds, arranging them on the tray. Gather up the scraps and reroll them into a circle 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick and cut out 6 or 7 more rounds, placing them on the tray. Meanwhile, temper the chocolate: Bring about 2 inches (5 cm) of water to a boil in the lower half of a double boiler or in a medium saucepan; then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Put 3 ounces (about 85 g) of the chocolate in the top half of the double boiler, or in a metal bowl big enough to rest atop the saucepan without its bottom touching the water. Do not cover the chocolate, and take care not to let the water in the bottom pan touch the pan or bowl containing the chocolate. Place a candy thermometer in the chocolate and melt the chocolate to a temperature of 115-120 F (46-48 C). Immediately remove the top pan of chocolate from the heat and add the reserved chocolate, stirring to combine and melt thoroughly and to cool the chocolate to 88-90°F (31-32 C) for semisweet chocolate or 84-88 F (28-31 C) for milk chocolate. Immediately begin dipping the orange creams: With a fork, lift a cream from the waxed paper, carefully dip the bottom half of it into the chocolate, and then lift it out and return it to the waxed paper. Repeat with the remaining creams. Do not remove the candies until the chocolate has set completely. Store at cool room temperature in an airtight container in single layers between sheets of waxed paper until serving.
