–Photo by Chris Lundy Signs are the only thing that mark the promise of the truck coming back. By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Owner Gerald LaCrosse had said that der Wunder Wiener would rise again “like a phoenix,” and it looks like he was right. He got the forms from the Health Department, is lining up water and sewer, and everything
se e m s t o be goi ng smoothly. He ordered a new trailer that’s going to be 10 feet longer than the old one. LaCrosse said he wants to re-open “as soon as I possibly can.” He’d prefer to do it before the weather gets too cold. It had long been on the property of the for-
mer Beachwood Mall (which is actually in Berkeley Township on Route 9). This had been owned by the Johnson family. Jimmy Johnson’s daughter, Priscilla Oughton, has another location for him. It’s a little more south, on a vacant lot between Fuller’s Marine and
Blackbeard’s Cave. It would still be on the same side of the road as it used to be. On the morning of June 11, 2018, an SUV heading south on 9 left the roadway and crashed into it. It was a perfect storm of tragedies: The property is (Wunder - See Page 4)
Getting Veterans Services They Need By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – A recent event held at the Toms River Library served as both a forum for veterans to learn more about the resources available to them and an early tribute to those who served in the armed forces. The Veterans Town Hall was sponsored by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and featured guest speakers Freeholder Director Virginia Haines, Purple Heart recipient and retired U.S. Marines Corporal Rory Hamill, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer and Ocean County Veterans Service Bureau
Director John Dorrity. Hamill shared his story serving in the Marines from 2006 to 2012. “I grew up in the local area. I had a very, very troubled youth. I grew up in an abusive home and had a lot of hardships at an early age. At the age of 17 I joined up and went to Paris Island and became a father and went to Iraq and was also a husband. I was way over my head and didn’t realize what I was getting myself into. “I was in Afghanistan and during my third deployment we received intelligence that there (Veterans - See Page 18)
Open Space Tax Expands Into History, Recreation
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – With the passage of a referendum, the county will now be able to use open space funds to acquire and maintain property for more than just open space. The question on the ballot asked people if they wanted open space tax funds to be used for the acquisition and maintenance of property for historic or recreational purposes. There were 55,851 people who agreed with this, and 44,883 who disagreed. For the most part, there will be no change, said Freeholder Director Virginia Haines, who serves as liaison to the county’s Natural Lands program. “First and foremost, we are still going to preserve open space. That is still going to be our main priority,” she said. Historical or recreational projects would be secondary. The main example she used is the Cox house, (Tax - See Page 4)
Republicans Maintain Most Positions In Election
By Chris Lundy, Kimberly Bosco, and Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – There were only a few interesting surprises from the election on Nov. 5. It’s no secret that Ocean County is generally a Republican stronghold, except in the northern section. In fact, some races were only between Republicans and independents, with no Democrats filing to run at all. What follows are the results of most local contested elections. These results still need to be confirmed by the county before they are official. (Election - See Page 4)

Wunder:
In his absence, the community rallied with an amount of support that still surprises him to this day. An online fundraiser, and a weekend where local PBAs sold hot dogs, brought in thousands of dollars for his medical treatment. A year and a half later, he’s not yet fully recovered. There’s still a shoulder issue that needs to be worked out, even though the joint has been replaced twice, he said. But otherwise, he can’t wait to re-open. “I’ve got to see those people outside the window again,” he said.
Tax:
The Natural Lands Trust program is dedicated to protecting open space in Ocean County. The fund was approved by Ocean County voters in 1997, and established a 1.2-cent tax to fund land acquisitions. The program generates about $8 million per year. Currently, a little more than half of the county is preserved through some combination of this program, and state and federal programs, officials have said. The way it works is a property owner would offer the land up for sale to the county as open space. The county has an appraiser determine its value and a sale is made. The county also waits for approval from a town. This is because any sale takes that property off the tax rolls of the town. The taxation will remain the same – 1.2 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. In other words, if your property is assessed at $100,000, you would be paying $12 a year. County officials have previously said that some municipalities that have their own open space programs already operate this way. Theoretically, this could mean that the county could buy historic buildings. However, Haines said that they are not going out of their way to look for purchases.

However, LaCrosse was in the cart that morning when it was struck. He was hospitalized, and even on a ventilator at one point. His condition had his family worried, but he managed to fight through it all, and now talks about it in his usual good-natured way.

near the intersection of Route 9 and West Bay Avenue in Barnegat. This building has some history to it. The family was extremely influential in the area, having been involved in numerous industries, including shipbuilding, installing a water system, and starting the Times-Beacon newspapers. The Cox house was the fi rst house in Barnegat to have electricity and running water. As with many old buildings, the cost to maintain and repair it is great. Not only due to the elements and the passage of time, but also because earlier this summer, it was struck by a car. Barnegat Township owned the property for some time, before giving it to the county within the last few years. The county wants this property to be the anchor for the Barnegat Branch Trail, a biking and walking trail that will wind through several towns. In order to fi x this property up, for example, the county would fi rst rather receive grants, she said. If the county is not successful in receiving grants, they’d rather use these open space funds before money is taken from other accounts.

Election:
Continued From Page 1 County Election Incumbents defended their monopoly on the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. John “Jack” Kelly won 72,867 votes and Virginia “Ginny” Haines won 72,573 votes. They were challenged unsuccessfully by Democrats Jean Czarkowski, 38,809 votes, and David Wright, 36,200 votes; as well as Libertarian Daniel Valentine, 2,109 votes. There were 115 write-ins. In the Sheriff’s race, incumbent Republican Michael Mastronardy bested Democrat Gene Davis, 79,294 votes to 34,128. There were 84 write-in votes. Barnegat Township Albert Bille (R) took home the majority with 2,889 votes, winning another threeyear term on the Township Committee. Democratic candidate Peg Houle ran a strong race but won only 43 percent, 2,229 votes. Bille’s reelection will make 2020 his tenth
year on the governing body. Barnegat School Board Newcomers took home the victory on the Barnegat Board of Education. Richard Quelch, Robert Sawicki, and Sean O’Brien – campaigning to be the “new voice” of Barnegat’s Board of Education – ousted two incumbents in this election including board president Scott Sarno. Quelch won 1,619 votes; Sawicki won 1,644; and O’Brien won 1,919. It was a big win for the trio, who ran against five other candidates for three, three-year terms on the board. Beachwood In Beachwood, Republican Ronald Roma won another four years over challenger, independent Glen Kelly. Roma won with 1,483 votes and Kelly received 499 votes. There were 10 write-in votes. Republicans maintained their spots on the council as well. Gerald LaCrosse won 1,478 votes and Edward Zakar won 1,422 votes. (Election - See Page 5)

There were 26 write-ins. The Central Regional School District oversees the middle and high school, and is made up of residents of Berkeley, Ocean Gate, Seaside Heights, Seaside Park, and Island Heights.

They had been challenged by Jennifer Lewis, who received 2,574 votes. There were 50 write-ins. Brick Brick Township is one exception to the rule (that is, party rule) in Ocean County. The governing body - which has only one Republican on it right now - will be all Democrat again after the most recent election. Councilman James Fozman joined the council as a Democrat, but switched parties to Republican recently. He took a team to the polls but was defeated. The winners are: Councilwoman Andrea Zapcic, 8,387 votes; Councilman Arthur Halloran, 8,002 votes; Councilwoman Lisa Crate 8,049 votes; and Vincent Minichino 7,860 votes. Republicans mustered the following tallies: Fozman 6,348 votes; Victoria Chadwick 7,024 votes; Max Flores 6,762 votes; and Neil Napolitano 6,691 votes. There were 33 write-in votes. Lacey Township Both incumbents took home the win, bringing in nearly double the votes of their competitors. Republicans Steven Kennis and Peter Curatolo won 3,958 and 3,836 votes, respectively, securing three-year terms on the Township Committee. Democratic candidates Edward “Ted” Kownacki and Erik Mazur received 1,944
and 1,898 votes, respectively. Lacey School Board On the Lacey Township Board of Education, long-time board member Linda Downing secured another three-year term, alongside Donna McAvoy and Edward Scanlon. It was a close race for all eight candidates, but ultimately Downing came out on top with 2,145 votes and McAvoy and Scanlon followed behind with 1,982 and 1,973 votes, respectively. The other candidates’ votes were tallied at: Sonia Marchitello, 1,756 votes; Shawn Giordano (incumbent), 1,908 votes; Gavin Rozzi, 1,769 votes; Salvatore Armato, 1,783 votes; Ashley Larsen, 1,131 votes. Jackson School Board Incumbents Michael Walsh and Thomas J. Colucci retained their board seats for three-year terms during the Nov. 5 general election. Three candidates were seeking two seats on the Board this year. Challenging the incumbents was Selene Haskins. Walsh received the top vote count of 4,487 representing 26.2% of the vote. He is a retired school administrator/teacher/ coach who is completing his first term on the board.
Manchester Residents have chosen Robert Hudak to remain on the Manchester Township Council for a one-year unexpired term. On election day, Hudak won out against competitor Bill Peck, a self-proclaimed “Veteran To Serve Manchester.” Hudak made out with more than 57 percent of the votes, with a winning 4,399 votes. Peck lost by just over a thousand, coming in at 3,251 votes. Although Hudak and Peck were the only two candidates running for the single council seat, there were 21 write-in votes on election day.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL How Much Of Your “News” Is Actually News Something I’ve noticed more and more on television news programs is that there’s very little actual news. It’s mostly commentary. It seems like they spend five minutes telling you what happened and then spend 50 minutes telling you how you should feel about what happened. Firstly, news anchors should never tell you how to feel. They can offer perspective, or clarify, or explain the impact of information, but they should never offer opinions. How much of your so-called news is actually opinion? Secondly, instead of informed experts giving commentary, we instead see professional commentators. These are leeches who have made their entire career on having Something To Say. They have
opinions, and say their opinions in a clever way, so people keep paying them to be on shows. They don’t inform, clarify, or explain. Instead they confuse, argue, and lie. Next time you are watching your favorite news program, pay close attention. How much time is spent actually giving the news? Just the news. Time it if you can. Start the timer when the news anchor begins telling you something new. Stop the timer when the anchor tells you an opinion. Stop the timer when a commentator just spouts off with opinion instead of fact. Stop the timer when a commentator goes off topic to confuse you. Stop the timer and just change the channel.

Letters To The Editor Bill Would Limit Drug Costs For Medicaid We have all seen this television commercial: Joe or Jane Senior Citizen is suffering from the pain and embarrassment of some illness you have never heard of; they visit a wise and kindly doctor who prescribes a medicine whose name you will never be able to pronounce. Joe and Jane, of course, live happily ever after. No mention is made of the price of the new wonder drug for the simple reason that it is likely to cost you several months worth of social security payments. The folks who bring you this type of promotion are the same people who sponsor the new ad attacks on H.R.3, the bill currently pending in Congress which would require Medicare officials to actively negotiate lower prices with the drug companies. Medicaid and the Veterans Administration already do this. The bill would also limit out-of-pocket drug costs for Medicare patients to $2,000 per year. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that passage of such legislation would save Medicare $345 Billion in the first ten years. The Healthcare Institute of New Jersey, despite its altruistic name, is no friend of senior citizens. It claims that reducing their price tags would drastically shrink the pool of funds available for research into the treatment and cure of a variety of diseases. However, it is a well-known fact that the drug industry spends far more on advertising and marketing than it does on product development. No, Joe or Jane, neither BigPharma nor the Healthcare Institute of New Jersey is a friend of yours. Your real friend is the Democratic House of Representatives. Michael J. Doherty Berkeley
Patriot Trump Can Make A Deal Businessman Donald Trump was famous for putting com-
Letters EditorIt will only get worse. Trump plicated deals together. To There The Congressman was one story where Trump needed to successfully buy (quietly) four different New York buildings, and then get many “variances” that were difficult to get from the zoning board in order to tear these buildings down and build one brand new office or apartment building. Businessman Trump did those complicated deals where all the different parts of the deal had to work, or the new plan was not possible. He really, really loved those complicated deals. So, now we read that President Trump has successfully ordered and completed without any harm to our military people the capture of the leader of ISIS. The details he shared on television included the need for our 8 helicopters to fly over air space controlled by Turkey, Russia, the Kurds, Iraq, and Syria. They then needed to accomplish the goal and fly back over the same airspace. I can picture Trump’s generals telling him how impossible, and dangerous it was to fly over all that airspace where all those different players could shoot us down. I can also imagine our businessman/developer President who has worked hard to establish dialogue with foreign leaders saying “Don’t worry. We will just call up the leaders of Turkey, Russia, etc. (who he speaks with) and ask them if it is OK if we fly in and out because it is a good cause.” To think like that is second nature to a guy who knows how to put a few “variances” together to build one brand new building where five existed before. Yes, we really have a businessman and a patriot now as President, and it shows. Obviously, we have needed a dealmaker in the White House for decades. Can you imagine if this mission went sour and we had losses how the Trump-haters would started complaining? President Trump may have risked everything if this mission failed. That’s a patriot. David F. Lipton Beachwood
Smith Has No Spine When Republicans tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act and strip healthcare from 23 million Americans, Chris Smith did not advocate for his constituents or wield his seniority to influence his colleagues. He released a statement and did nothing. When Republicans passed a tax law that enriched the wealthy and punished NJ by limiting SALT deductions, Chris Smith released a statement and did nothing. Now we have ample evidence that President Trump broke the law by soliciting foreign help in an upcoming election and abused his office by withholding military aid to a vulnerable ally unless they investigate his opponents. Trump’s rhetoric - capital punishment for whistle-blower “spies,” accusing Democrats of treason, and threatening civil war - is dangerous. Successful or wouldbe perpetrators have already mimicked his language to commit or attempt violence in El Paso, Florida, and D.C.
may try to convince millions of followers not to accept a loss in 2020. After all, he has been espousing “3-5 million illegal votes” in California since 2016 even though his own commission found no evidence. Trump is a threat to fair elections and the peaceful transfer of power, essential cornerstones of our democracy. What has Chris Smith done about this? He cast an easy vote to release the whistle-blower complaint, issued a statement, and done nothing. Again. Smith campaigns as “a leader you can trust.” A leader would have the courage to stand up to his own party, use his seniority, and forcefully tell his fellow Republicans that Trump must be impeached because his behavior is dangerous and unacceptable. Instead, we’ll get the same meek effort we always get from Smith when the stakes are high: a tepid statement for political cover followed by silence until he sees which way the wind is blowing.

Toms River Taxes, development, and way of life are the biggest issues in this town, and residents told politicians how they felt about that by electing Maurice “Mo” Hill as mayor for the next four years. Hill had 12 years as a member of the Township Council. Even when he sought the mayoral spot, he had to fight two other Republicans in the primary. Then, he and Democrat Jonathan Petro fought a very bitter race this year which came down to the wire. In a very Republican county, this was one race that was too close to call even as the results started coming in. Hill narrowly won 11,135 votes to Petro’s 10,870. There were 58 write-ins. The political stakes were high for this election. In fact, it was one of the few in the overly Republican country worth watching. Currently, there are two Democrats on the seven-member Township Council with a Republican mayor. The Township Council will remain in Republican control. Hill ran with Republicans Matt Lotano, a principal in the commercial Lotano Development Corporation; Josh Kopp, a veteran
and director of Kopp Electric Company; and former Councilman Kevin Geoghegan, a retired Toms River Police Officer and member of EMS and fire departments. Interestingly, the Republicans had more of a margin of victory on the council. All three council candidates received more votes than the mayoral candidate. Lotano received 12,112 votes; Kopp received 11,609 votes; and Geoghegan received 11,612 votes. Petro is a managing partner in the law office of Carluccio, Leone, Dimon, Doyle & Sacks in Toms River. Petro ran with Democrats Michele Williams, a Toms River school board member and former principal at St. Joseph Grade School (9,187 votes); Karin K. Sage, an attorney and shareholder on the Business and Commercial Litigation team at Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer, P.A. in Woodbridge (9,039 votes); and Drew Boyle, a math teacher in Brick (9,040 votes). There were 39 write-in votes. Toms River Schools The Toms River Regional School District has members from each of its sending districts, including Beachwood, Pine Beach, and South Toms River. In Toms River, there were an incredible six candidates for one, three-year position. Kathleen Eagan was the top vote-getter in this crowded field, with 5,728 votes. Lisa Natale-Contessa received 4,905 votes; Jeffrey Dingsor received 2,055 votes; Sean Monahan received 1,892 votes; Brian Quinn received 862 votes; and Wendell Ferandos received 464 votes. In Beachwood, Alex Mizenko narrowly bested Melissa Morrison 734 votes to 721. There were 8 write-in votes. Pine Beach also had a close race, where Kevin Kidney received 269 votes to Anthony Trump’s 267. There were three write-in votes. Those three write-ins could impact the results.

Fisher, left, joins Bill Cutts, operator of Cutts Brothers Cranberry Farm of Bass River Township during a recent visit to the farm. Cutts Brothers Cranberry Farm has been in operation since the 1930s. The cranberries are currently being harvested. BASS RIVER - New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher along with state officials and staff recently visited Cutts Brothers Cranberry Farm in Bass River, Burlington County to highlight cranberry season. New Jersey is annually among the top three producers of cranberries in the U.S. according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The visit included seeing a flooded cranberry bog, which is when the berries are harvested. The berries are then taken for processing. New Jersey farmers harvested 51.2 million pounds of cranberries on 3,100 acres last year for a production value of $15.8 million, making the Garden State the No. 3 producer in the nation. “Cranberries have long been a staple of New Jersey agriculture with many families growing this crop for more than 100 years,” Secretary Fisher said. “The beautiful harvest we saw today is the result of a year-round process of caring for these berries. We are one of the handful of states in the country that produce a high volume of this fruit and it’s a testament to all of our cranberry growers.” Cutts Brothers Cranberry Farm has been growing cranberries since 1906, including on the current property since the 1930s, and is operated by brothers Bill and Ernest Cutts and their sons, who are the fourth generation of the family. The farm has 29 cranberry bogs over its 128 acres. The Cutts’ farm grows traditional varieties such as the Early Blacks and Stevens as well as some newer varieties developed by Rutgers University. Cutts Brothers Cranberry
Farm is one of about 25 cranberry operations in New Jersey. “The passion for growing cranberries is a part of our family heritage,” Bill Cutts said. “To see these berries ready at harvest time is always a satisfying feeling. Like many crops, cranberries require a lot of attention throughout the year. Seeing this fruit be a part of the holiday season in many ways year after year is particularly rewarding.” Cranberries have been known to be grown in New Jersey since the 1840s. Cranberries grow on low-lying vines in sandy bogs which are flooded for wet-harvesting in the fall, then re-flooded for the duration of the winter to protect from cold weather damage. The cranberry harvest in New Jersey usually lasts through early November. About 98 percent of all cranberries harvested in New Jersey are sold to the Ocean Spray Cooperative. Cranberries can be used in a wide range of food offerings, such as sauces, jellies, jams and in muffins, pie fillings, breads, as well as in fruit salads or can be eaten alone as snacks. The fruit is also a good source of many vitamins, including Vitamin A and Vitamin C, has important minerals such as potassium and manganese, and is high in antioxidants.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE State Files Complaint Against District For Mishandling AntiSemitic Incident
By Kimberly Bosco TRENTON – A complaint has been filed with the Monmouth County Vocational School District following an anti-Semitic incident which caused a Jewish student to transfer out of the district, announced Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal. Grewal and the Division on Civil Rights (DCR) have issued a Finding of Probable Cause (FPC) against the Monmouth County Vocational School District over the issue, claiming that the district failed to properly address the harassment. In June 2018, a parent filed a complaint with the DCR claiming that her daughter, a minor at the time, was subjected to unlawful discrimination based on religion at the district-run Marine Academy of Science and Technology (MAST) high school. According to the parent’s complaint, her daughter’s classmates targeted their anti-Semitic sentiments at her over the course of three years. She later transferred out of the school for her senior year. In an April 2018 incident, two male students wrote “I H8 JEWS” in large letters in the sand at a school-sponsored event and then shared a photo of one of them lying on the ground next to the message. The complainant said her daughter was extremely upset by the image when she received it over text, as well as by student comments that followed. One student even suggested the picture be used as the cover for the yearbook. The girl’s father then brought the matter of the photo and comments to the school district, which led to her being called a “snitch” by her fellow students, shunned during the school day and outside of school. According to DCR’s investigation, the MAST high school disciplined the student involved, doling out four-day, out-of-school suspensions on the two students responsible as well as a two-day suspension on the student who commented that the photo should be used as the yearbook cover.
But according to the complaint, that was all they did. The FPC states that “it does not appear the school took any broader actions to discern the extent of anti-Semitic behavior at the school, or to address the reported concerns.” “Our schools are there to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which our young people can learn and grow,” said Attorney General Grewal. “Hate and harassment have no place in our schools, and it’s ultimately the responsibility of school officials to ensure that their schools offer a learning environment that is not hostile to individuals with any particular religious background or other protected characteristics.” The FPC notes that this incident may have been part of a “broader pattern of anti-Semitic conduct at MAST that called for broader institutional actions on the part of the school.” Thus, the complaint alleges that the school may “have not acted reasonably” under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD). The mother’s complaint speaks to this, naming a few other incidents of harassment, alleging: Suring her daughter’s sophomore year, her fellow students drew swastikas on cafeteria lunch tables and on their notebooks Students publically read Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” during “read” periods in class, even though the book was not an assigned part of the curriculum A rock with the word “Adolf” written on it was placed on top of a water cooler directly behind the girl’s assigned seat in English class. In an interview with DCR, the teacher explained that once she was made aware that the rock said “Adolf,” she disposed of it on a pile of rocks behind her classroom, but did not report the incident. A Finding of Probable Cause does not resolve a civil rights complaint. Rather, it means the State has concluded its preliminary investigation and determined there is sufficient evidence to support a reasonable suspicion New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (LAD) has been violated.

MELANOMA OF THE EYE Although melanoma occurs most often on the skin, it can develop in the eye since melanoma develops in the cells that produce “melanin,” the pigment that gives both skin and eyes their color. Eye melanoma most commonly develops in the “uvea,” the vascular layer of the eye sandwiched between the retina and the white of the eye (sclera). Also known as “uveal melanoma,” this type of cancer can occur in the front part of the uvea (iris and ciliary body) or in the rear portion of the uvea (choroids layer). While “primary eye cancer” starts in the eye, 90 percent of melanomas start in the skin, which means they are “secondary eye cancer.” It is not clear why eye melanomas develop. People born with certain growths in or on the eye, as well as those with lighter colored eyes, are at a greater risk for developing ocular melanoma. If your ophthalmologist suspects that you have ocular melanoma, he or she may recommend more tests. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES at 732-349-5622.

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

For some folks, inserting your hearing aid into your ear can be a real struggle. Sometimes you twist and turn the hearing aid which eventually creates a sore ear. Here are a few tricks you can utilize to properly insert your hearing instrument into your ear canal. First, for custom, non-behind-the-ear products, the “red” writing on the aid is for the right ear and the “blue” writing is for the left ear. Second, when you are inserting the aid, the “vent hole” is usually on the bottom of the aid facing outside.

Third, as you are trying to insert the instrument, make sure your elbow is “up” in line with your ear and push toward your nose. If your elbow is down, you may not insert the aid in the right direction. Thus, the aid may “stick” out of your ear and constantly ring. Remember, if you are struggling with hearing aid insertion, keep your elbow up while inserting the aid. This will make life a lot simpler and alleviate potential ear soreness and feedback. Finally, make sure you keep in close contact with your hearing healthcare professional who is there for guidance.

The Disgusting Tricks in Your Treats! By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
As Halloween has passed us by, a lot of parents plan special outings and trickor-treating events for the kids. I used to do that too, even decorating the house a little bit but today, I’m not really fond of skeletons and morbid spiders and whatnot. Speaking of whatnot, you already know how much I despise the pushing of unnecessary, toxic chemicals on us, right? But there’s something even more revolting. It’s the government handbook called, “The Food Defect Action Levels.” This guidebook spells out exactly how much mold, rat hair, maggots, parasites and bug parts can go into our food. It’s shocking how generous these limits are! If you just want to eat your food and keep your head in the sand, here’s your cue to stop reading me and turn to the comic section. If you have a morbid curiosity of what the FDA shamelessly allows us to eat then read on. One peanut butter sandwich (approx. 100 grams of peanut butter) could have 30 or more pieces of insect parts on it. (Now I know that is gross, and I also know that no amount of jelly will allow you to unsee that visual so I’m sorry I’ve messed with your brain! FYI, the jelly drama is about to get worse.) Carmine. Carmine is a lovely word to use, it flows off the tongue so beautifully, but it comes from boiling up some beetles. It’s a beautiful red dye, that adds color to some popular brands of red/purple jelly and frosting. I warned you it was going to get worse! Carmine is found in millions of different foods, candies and especially
lipsticks. You may see it as 75470 or E129, or the most deceptive of all, “natural red 4.” These are all code for carmine. Starbucks was pressured to get rid of the buggy colorant from their beautiful Strawberry Frappaccino. Cockroaches. The FDA approves of cockroach and other bug parts in chocolate bars and liquours. The FDA lets them put on average 60 insect pieces into every 100 grams of chocolate! This is considered safe for consumption by the FDA. Egad! Remember these bugs carry pathogens such as salmonella, E Coli and Listeria. Gelatin. Gelatin is a tasteless compound (actually a protein) that is used to thicken candy, and also lots of foods and drinks. It comes specifically from prolonged boiling of animal parts like skin, bones, connective tissue and cartilage. It is usually pork derived, but can also come from pigs, chicken, cows and fish. Shellac. Shellac is a resin that is excreted by the female lac bug. The bug poop is processed and dissolved in alcohol which then makes it a liquid shellac, which can then be used as a food glaze or dye. You’ll find it on gobs of candy including candy corn, Raisinets, Tootsie Rolls, Junior Mints, Sugar Babies and jelly beans. It’s used widely in the dietary supplement and pharmaceutical industry. These additives are not considered “unsafe,” however they are gross, unnecessary additives that should not be so rampant in our food supply. The FDA should reduce the acceptable allowances and closely regulate food makers so we don’t have to eat so many nauseating things!

CHRISTOPHER T. LILLO, D.M.D.
was an explosive device in a compound. Myself and my squad went over, set a perimeter around the compound,” Hamill said. He said originally another soldier was slated to use a metal detector to go inside but as this soldier looked nervous and had less experience “I took the mine sweeper off his back and proceeded to go inside and sweep for the IED.” Hamill said, “I got very complacent and wasn’t paying attention to my surroundings but when I was coming back into the doorway I stepped on the pressure plate and it instantly sheared off my right leg and damaged my butt and my calf and I got launched 10 feet in the air. At fi rst, I didn’t know what happened. When I tried to stand up I saw my knee cap was hanging off and that is when it hit home that I was severely injured.” The Marine was hospitalized and discharged after a year and half and came back to New Jersey. “I was extremely lost. My weekends consisted of just going out and drinking to excess. I had no drive or motivation. I was working a job but not really showing up. A lot of problems from my childhood started to surface as well combined with the trauma of combat,” Hamill said. “It ultimately led to a point where I almost took my own life but the reason I didn’t do that is my children popped into my head. I stopped, put the weapon down and drove back to the house. “I didn’t actually get any help until 2015. I felt I needed to get checked out. I was pretty sure I had depression, anxiety, the whole nine yards. Ever since I started seeking help for myself my life has improved ten-fold. I was fortunate to fi nd the team here at the Prosecutor’s Office and even though it is a long-term position it is not a duty to me. It is more like a family,” Hamill added. Hamill said, “it has been integral to my recovery. I love them very much. They are like my brothers and sisters and I feel that every veteran needs to fi nd something like that when they get out.” The event was one of a series of state wide Town Hall events focusing on providing resources and assistance to veterans, according to Ocean County Prose-

cutor’s Officer Renee White who served as the coordinator of the event. Various resource tables were part of the event held at the library’s Mancini Hall which also included several outside agencies. “We attended one in Middlesex County and they sent some of their officers to ours today.” White said of Hamill: “He is not only a friend but a true hero and one of the reasons we are here today. He is one of our mentors in the Veterans Diversionary Program.” This is a program that allows eligible veterans to avoid conviction for some non-violent crimes. Billhimer praised White for being “the heart and soul of the Veterans Diversionary program. She is the driving force in the office to ensure that we are always proactive in this area. “Ocean County has the largest veteran population in the state. We have approximately 40,000 veterans. Some of these veterans work here, some have retired here and some work out in Fort Dix. Many are snow birds that come back and forth. We are here today to thank all of you and celebrate your service,” Billhimer said. That’s why it’s so important to reach out to them and make sure they get the services they deserve, the officials said. Dorrity said, “too many veterans, too many widows, too many children of veterans don’t receive their just benefit whether it is health, education or monetary benefit every month in the form of a non-service connected pension, a widow’s pension or service connected compensation. War sucks and nobody knows it better than the people who have to fight it.” The Veterans Service Bureau located on the first floor of the Ocean County One Stop Center, located at 1027 Hooper Ave., provides numerous services to veterans, and widows and families of veterans. “We are well aware that working with various levels of government to access the benefits you deserve can be very frustrating and very confusing,” Freeholder Director Virginia Haines said, adding that the center’s staff were trained to help them. She also noted that the staff of the Ocean County Clerk’s Office is able to assist with documents such as discharge papers that are required for benefit services in cases where such forms are lost or destroyed.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of NOV 16 - NOV 22 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): It is possible that a partner or loved one will not agree with your business or financial decisions in the early part of the week. Back up your plans with concrete evidence based on past performance and traditions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The more you learn, the more you earn. Apply your spare time to studying a subject that is germane to your career. Make use of your research skills in the week ahead, even if friends interrupt your investigations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The friends you make on the job or in the workplace could influence your thinking. In the week to come, you might be inspired to try something new. Group dynamics could play a large part in your daily routines. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your partner might be preoccupied with a pet project or perhaps will become passionate about achieving a longheld ambition. You can support them, celebrate every small triumph, and offer consolation if plans go astray in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may become more conscious of your public or social standing and pay more attention to appearances in the upcoming week. Put some effort into beautifying your corner of the world. Neighbors will notice your efforts. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You could develop as this week unfolds. Your partner or a close friend distract you a bit with unrealizable goals. Focus on the job at hand and something worthwhile will be accomplished.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You and a partner might not always be on the same wavelength in the upcoming week, but you can still be helpful teammates. Try to focus on the facts and avoid muddled thinking. You can’t outfox the fox. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep a smile on your face in the beginning of the week and you may win over new friends or receive an invitation to join a club or group. You may need to study hard to understand weighty concepts and terminology. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Focus on staying within budgetary boundaries by looking for sales and buying only what you need. Your occupational ambitions could come to fruition this week if you are a team player and willing to participate in group roundtables. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The more organized and self-disciplined you are in the week ahead, the more likely you’ll realize your ambitions. Intense focus on the task at hand and attentiveness to the rules may be required to make your dreams come true. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It isn’t necessary to reinvent the wheel. Your novel ideas may already be outlined in textbooks or reviewed online. Do some homework. You can rely on the lessons of the past as guideposts to get you through the week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You might seesaw between being sensible and being a spendthrift in the week ahead. You might make impulsive purchases that seem frivolous at the time but could come in handy just when they are needed.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Fish Fillets Make It Quick And Easy To Move Your Grilling Indoors By Wolfgang Puck
Many people refer to the Labor Day weekend, now more than two months past, as the unofficial end of summer grilling season. But those of us who love to grill know that you can’t stop just because you’ve turned the calendar page. There are diehards, of course, who brave the elements to continue grilling outdoors. I’ve even known of people who protect their food and themselves with an umbrella in the pouring rain to keep practicing their favorite cooking method, regardless of the fact that they’ll trudge back indoors soaking wet and saturated with smoke-but feeling happy that their food still turned out perfect. I prefer an easier approach. When I want to grill food indoors at home, I like to use of a ridged grill, whether a countertop one that’s electrically heated or a simpler model that you heat up right over a burner on your stove. When preheated before food is placed on it, the pan produces flavorful seared markings very similar to those you get from an outdoor grill. You may not get the exact same tastes, of course, because you’ll lack the scent that comes from fat and juices dripping onto hot coals or gas-heated lava rocks beneath an outdoor grill’s cooking grid. But, especially if you start with a recipe full of lively seasonings, you won’t notice a big difference between the results of outdoor and indoor grilling. That said, there are other important points to bear in mind. First, I make sure to use a ridged grill with a nonstick surface, so you won’t have to grease or spray it before putting food on. More importantly, I prefer to prepare items that cook quickly, because the high-heat method will still fill the kitchen with very fragrant scents and some smoke - so you don’t want the cooking to go one for too long. (Be sure to turn on your kitchen fan and crack open a window as well, so you won’t set off any smoke alarms!) For an example of a recipe that fulfills these requirements perfectly, I hope you’ll try my Grilled Marinated Swordfish with Garlic, Ginger, Lime and Chiles. It bursts with bright flavors, and the swordfish steaks (you can also use other mild-tasting fish like halibut or yellowtail tuna) cook in little more than 10 minutes. No wonder it became one of the most popular recipes I used when I first began demonstrating my own reversible electric grill/griddle years ago on the Home Shopping Network. (You could also make it with a hinged electric
countertop grill, which cooks from both sides at once, cutting the cooking time in half.) Serve the fish with a rice pilaf and your favorite tomato salsa. Then close your eyes and imagine you’re dining outdoors! Grilled Marinated Swordfish with Garlic, Ginger, Lime and Chiles Serves 4 1/2 cup (125 ml) extra-virgin olive oil Juice of 3 medium limes Grated zest of 1 medium lime 6 cloves garlic, minced 3 small fresh serrano chiles, or 1 large jalapeño, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined and finely chopped 1 small bunch cilantro leaves, chopped 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 1 teaspoon brown sugar 4 swordfish steaks, each about 6 ounces (185 g) and 3/4 inch (18 mm) thick Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper In a large sealable food-storage bag, combine the olive oil, lime juice and zest, garlic, chiles, cilantro, ginger and sugar. Seal the bag and gently shake to combine the ingredients. Trim the skin and any traces of connective tissue from the sides of the swordfish steaks. If you like, carefully cut out the darker red areas of meat, known as the bloodlines, which have a slightly stronger flavor that some people do not like. Open the bag and put the swordfish fillets inside with the marinade. Seal the bag, eliminating any air, and gently move the swordfish fillets to coat them evenly. Put the bag inside a pan or shallow bowl large enough to hold it comfortably. Place in the refrigerator and leave the swordfish to marinate for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight, turning the bag over occasionally. Over high heat, preheat a nonstick ridged electric indoor grill or stovetop grill pan. Meanwhile, remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and pat off excess moisture with paper towels without wiping off the pieces of zest, garlic, chiles, cilantro and ginger. Season the swordfish steaks on both sides with salt and pepper and place them on the grill. Cook them undisturbed, turning them once, until well seared and cooked through to a temperature of 145 F (63 C) on an instant-read thermometer carefully inserted into the center, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
