–Photo courtesy Manchester schools Worker elves are busy preparing gifts for children in a previous year. By Kimberly Bosco MANCHESTER – With your help, Santa Claus will be making stops at each and every kid’s house this year. Manchester’s annual Kevin’s Kids Toy Drive is in full swing once again. It has been 37 years since this particular Christmas tradition began. It all started when a Manchester teacher asked her class: “What is Santa Claus going to bring you on Christmas Eve?” To her dismay, one student answered:
“Santa Claus never comes to my house.” In an effort to make sure that this boy, and other students, never had to experience a gift-less Christmas, the school staff pulled together to create the Kevin’s Kids Drive. The Kevin’s Kids Drive continues today with a list of some 300 children and their families that need help this year. And Kevin’s Kids doesn’t just provide toys, but also supplies needy families
with much needed items such as clothing and food. “Yes this is a Christmas Drive, but hopefully the necessities provided will help parents in these difficult times throughout the year,” said Alex George, Director of Student and Administrative Services. George also serves as chairperson for the drive. “Through the generosity of the Manchester School District, the Manchester Police, many local (Santa - See Page 20)
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 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

–Photo by Kimberly Bosco Count y Route 539 is k now n as a dangerous road. By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – It has been called one of the deadliest roads in the state. County Route 539 is a 55-mile stretch of roadway extending from Little Egg Harbor on the southern end all the way into Cranbury in Middlesex County, with speeds ranging from 30 to 55 mph. Spanning multiple counties and dozens of municipalities, CR 539 is a well-traveled thoroughfare for locals, commuters, and even tourists to the Jersey Shore. Each year CR 539 sees hundreds of accidents, a majority of which occur along the Ocean County section of the road. Through constant police patrol and even the occasional heightened enforcement detail, the road remains one of the most dangerous in the area. This begs the questions: what makes CR 539 so perilous and what can be done to fix this? Route 539 Today Just about a month ago, on Oct. 30, 2019, a 22-year-old male was killed in a crash on CR 539 in Little Egg Harbor when his car collided with a telephone pole. Less than a month before that, on Oct. 6, 2019, a motorcyclist was killed on CR 539 in Manchester when his bike crashed into another vehicle. On July 12, 2019, one person was left dead (Route 539 - See Page 4)

following an accident on CR 539 in front of the New Egypt Speedway in Plumsted. On May 30, 2019, a motorcyclist succumbed to his injuries sustained during a serious crash on CR 539 in Plumsted earlier in the week. On May 7, 2019, a 78-year old woman was killed when her car collided head-on with a vehicle driving the opposite direction on CR 539 in Lacey. And these are just the fatal crashes reported. Year-to-date statistics on the total number of accidents on CR 539 are not readily available for 2019. Addressing the Problem Governmental officials and local and state law enforcement agree: CR 539 is a hub for accidents. According to NJ State Police (and the reported crashes listed above), Ocean County has already seen five fatal crashes on CR 539 since the start of 2019. So far no fatal accidents have been recorded on the stretch of CR 539 that runs through Monmouth, Mercer, and Middlesex Counties. Over the years, the road has been the focus of improvement projects and several enforcement detail programs, as it is considered “high risk” for travelers. In 2015, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office teamed up with local law enforcement to conduct a crackdown on the road. According to a Patch article written post-crackdown in 2015, law enforcement in Ocean County responded to 284 crashes along the Route 539 between
occasional residence or commercial location. It is only once CR 539 reaches into Plumsted that it becomes a bit more commercial, but still maintains two lanes. Major intersections along the Ocean County portion of the road include: Route 72 in Barnegat Township, Routes 530 and 70 in Manchester, the Garden State Parkway entrance in Little Egg Harbor, and CR 528 in Plumsted. When someone tries to pass five cars at once and finds themselves face-to-face with a tractor trailer, or when someone is speeding way over the posted 55 mph speed limit: “That’s usually how accidents happen,” Mazur added. Numbers Don’t Lie In Ocean County, CR 539 passes through Little Egg Harbor, Stafford, Barnegat, Lacey, Manchester, Jackson and Plumsted Townships. Jersey Shore Online reached out to the corresponding police departments for figures representing their portion of the road since January 2019. For Stafford Township, Capt. James Vaughn reported 9 total accidents on their portion of CR 539 since the start of 2019. Of that total, none were fatal, none were due to alcohol or drugs, only one involved minor injuries, three were non-reportable “meaning there wasn’t enough damage to take a report,” and three involved a vehicle striking a deer. “Of the remaining 3 accidents, the reports indicated ‘driver inattention.’ However, speed wasn’t documented or indicated in the reports,” said Vaughn. Vaughn noted that Stafford Township Police patrol CR 539 on a regular basis, but they are not responsible for a large portion of the road.
Most often, Stafford patrols the Warren Grove section of Stafford Township, Vaughn added. In Lacey Township, Capt. Patrick Ganley reported 308 motor vehicle stops on CR 530 so far this year, 297 of which were for speeding. In addition: • 6 stops for failure to maintain lane • 2 stops for distracted driver • 2 tailgating stops • 1 stop for no taillights working • 101 motor vehicle summonses issued • 1 drug arrest Ganley reported 14 accidents on Lacey’s portion of CR 539, one of which was fatal. Seven involved injuries, four with no injuries, one hit and run with no injuries, and one DWI related accident. In Barnegat Township, Lt. Jason Carroll reported 11 accidents on CR 539 so far this year, none of which were fatal or involved drugs or alcohol. “Four of the collisions were vehicle versus deer and the other seven were attributed to driver inattention or following too closely,” Carroll told Jersey Shore Online. Barnegat Police, like Stafford, patrols their portion of CR 539 regularly and also participates in enforcement initiatives with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and Sheriff’s Department. In Manchester Township, there were 36 crashes reported this year up to Oct. 23, 27 of which had no injuries. Of these, 11 of them involved animals, most likely deer on those long stretches of tree-lined roads. They were mostly during daytime with dry conditions. The most serious one was the aforementioned fatality involving a motorcycle on Oct. 6.

January 2013 and May 2015, 11 of which yielded fatalities. In spring 2016, Ocean County conducted a $3.4 million road improvement project to a 25-mile stretch of CR 539 through the Federal Highway Administration’s High Risk Rural Road program. This project added centerline rumble strips, all-weather reflective striping, new raised pavement markers, new upgraded signage, and high friction treatment surface at six curves along with LED chevron signs. These improvements were meant to reduce wet weather accidents, sideswipes, and crossover accidents as well as improve nighttime visibility, according to county officials. More recently, the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department teamed up with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to conduct the Ocean County Sheriff’s Traffic Enforcement program on CR 539. This program funded Ocean County with $40,000 for extra patrols during May to September 1, 2019. This program yielded 674 total stops, 287 summonses issued, and 22 criminal charges, according to Officer Robert Mazur of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department. It also included the posting of several digital signboards and social media awareness posts. “We were stopping cars for any violation…for education purposes,” Mazur told Jersey Shore Online. While not every motor vehicle stop yielded a ticket, all stops incorporated some sort of information pertaining to the rules of the road and safe driving along CR 539. Mazur highlighted speeding and unsafe passing as the most common cause for accidents on CR 539. For the most part, the road is a twolane highway bordered only by trees and the

Continued From Page 1 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 first, 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
The Manchester Times, November 23, 2019, Page 5 was fortunate to find 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 find 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 Prosecutor’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 fi rst 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.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER A Vet Is A Vet As we pass another Veterans Day it’s time to reflect on and recognize the sacrifices and service that each of our veterans provided our great country. It’s not hard to imagine where we would be without the dedicated service of the millions of men and women that answered the call to serve. Ever y one of our vets signed a “blank check” upon enlistment payable in favor of Uncle Sam pledging everything up to and including their lives in the service to their country if called upon. The saying “Some gave all, and all gave some” comes to mind. So why is it that New Jersey does not recognizes and honor the service of all its vets. Only some of our vets are recognized and accepted as vets by the NJ State Department of Military and Veterans Affairs regardless of the fact that the federal government and Veterans Administration accept their status as a vet. Why is it that in New Jersey you’re only a vet if you served in specific geographic areas during specific times? Why is it
that a vet is a vet for the purposes of an income tax exemption, but may not be a vet for a property tax deduction? Why is a vet always a vet at the DMV, but not always at the Civil Ser vice Com m ission? Why is it that honorable military service is recognized for some veterans, but not for all veterans? It’s time to correct this injustice and recognize and honor the service of all of our vets. This Veterans Day we should be thankful for those who stood up and answered the call. Honor the service and sacrifice of all the veterans among us, but especially that of our fallen soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, for without our veterans we would not be the United States of America, the greatest nation on the face of the earth. And lastly, tell your State Legislators that a vet is a vet is a vet - regardless of where they served, or when they served. It’s time to get it right and uniformly honor their commitment. Daniel J. Burke Major, USMCR Ret. Brielle

Letters To The Editor Mueller’s Report Speaks The Truth While I believe it’s important to hear two points of view, your publishing of the “Mueller’s Report a Scam” (Aug. 17) shows that in publishing the letter, the writer makes a number of claims, NONE based on fact. It’s a fact that Robert Mueller was a registered Republican. It’s a fact that he got over $20 million of damages from defendants. It’s a fact that Robert Mueller has described 11 felony counts of obstruction against the president even though the President and (Attorney General Bill) Barr have described the report as not showing any obstruction by the president. This would be a complete lie and anyone reading his report will clearly see that. The report can be downloaded and read or even purchased for $5 from Ollie’s (something the letter writer just didn’t do). The report shows that Russia worked very hard to convince just enough people to vote for Donald and against the Democrat candidate or for the 3rd party candidate that Donald Trump won the election by 88,000 votes across three states. He was shown to send polling data to Russian servers and to have Russian companies attacking our democracy by spreading lies on social media to the tune of millions and millions of dollars from Russia. Nothing was false in the report and no matter how many times letter writers or our president states this as fact, it doesn’t change the circumstances that a foreign power worked very hard to make all of us think it was in our best interest to vote GOP. As our national deficit rockets to a trillion dollars, our middle class doesn’t actually do better and the 1% tell you all is well, anyone with open eyes can see this simply isn’t true and repeating hundreds of times works

Church And State I again want to extend my gratitude to the outpouring of support regarding my stand on the issue of parents’ rights. I have made it clear that the parents have the say over their children’s exposure to LGBT curriculum, if any, not the government. I want to acknowledge the overwhelming response in support of this stand from parents, citizens, teachers, church and religious leaders. Such encouragement confirms the need for addressing this issue as I have. In discussions, I have been made aware of a concern often expressed regarding the First Amendment. I want to clarify the true meaning of this Amendment regarding state and church. My hope is that this clarification will guide politicians, leaders (both secular and religious), parents, and other citizens to see the truth and not the twisted interpretation by the government and certain special interest groups. The First Amendment actually reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion…” This means that government cannot force a religion on its people. It does not mean that the people can’t bring their religious beliefs into how they want the government to act. Somewhere along the way, someone twisted the First Amendment’s meaning. And you need to know that. Even an atheist - one who believes there is no God brings a “belief” into how he or she wants government to act (indeed, “as if there is no God”). They exercise their non-religion belief to get government to enact and enforce laws accordingly. And, since 1962, that is how the government has acted. Yet, upwards of 70 per-
United States identify as having faith, and in biblical principles. So, if this believing majority is being forced to accept the ideas of a rejecting minority on any issue, it is no longer “We the people…” and it violates the spirit of the Constitution. You need to know that too. As an elected official representing a community made up largely of that majority, I need to represent that majority. Which is exactly what the wording of the First Amendment ensures. And, until the majority view changes, I will continue to do so. I will spread the truth as I see it in the hopes of uniting families by safeguarding the rights of parents for the well-being of our children. Alfonso Cirulli Mayor Barnegat
Keep Religion Out Of Politics A letter writer (“There Is No Separation Of Church And State,” 9/21/19) references the right of free speech, but to do so she skips over the first phrase of the First Amendment of the Constitution: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...” In plain English, the government will not tell us to worship this way but not that way, or worship at all. All our governments, federal, state and local, are civic institutions, not religious. The mayor of Barnegat was elected to a civic position and one of its functions is the performance of civil marriages. If he refuses to perform any of the functions and duties of his office because of his religious beliefs he must step aside. The county clerk in Kentucky who refused to perform a civil marriage for a gay couple has been found by the courts to be liable to be personally sued for damages, because she had a civic duty to perform and
decision was unlawful and her position as a public official, which usually shields an individual from personal lawsuits, will not protect her because she brought her religious judgement into a civic duty. And the letter writer ends her opinion: “We need to respect everyone’s rights, and respect their differences. Only then will we be able to move forward.” Let the Mayor of Barnegat be so advised. Michael F. Flynn Manahawkin
Trump Won, Get Over It I was a Democrat; 61 years ago the party left me, I didn’t leave the party back in 1959. Interesting comments by liberal Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan. She delivered the following at the University Of California Berkeley Law School: “Does the fact that we live in a polarized world increase the responsibility of the court to think about these questions, to behave in a non-polarized fashion?” She told the crowd “I think it does. I think we have to understand the world we are living in and try, to the extent we can, to fi nd common ground, to the extent we can to reach consensus, to try to the extent we can see how the world looks from another point of view.” As a former Democrat, I am seriously disappointed in the current conduct and constant hatred spewing from their leaders. It is of major concern in what damage they have inflicted upon a once grand party of the people, the extreme abhorrent media will not be constructive…Congress has not been working for the people. Donald Trump won the election, get over it! Sal Sorce Manahawkin

Whiting Garden Club Hosts Speaker
WHITING – The Whiting Garden Club held its most recent meeting on November 6 at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church. “We were very pleased to see so many people come out for this meeting on what was a very chilly morning. We had over 40 people in attendance,” Cindy Sims said. Sims added that, “our very own, Susan Piso, was our speaker. Her topic was “Interest in Your Winter Garden. Susan shared a list of plants and shrubs that can be included in our gardens and extend them into the winter so we can enjoy a four-season garden” Piso also shared information about preparing a “winter container” flower pot.

The content could be dwarf evergreen (cedar) surrounded by winter pansies and ivy, or any combination of plants that would survive the winter as shown in the sample below. “Susan’s presentation was very informative,
and the group came away with tremendous knowledge on how to prepare a winter garden for their home. Our next meeting will be held on December 4, from 10 a.m. to noon,” Sims said. The meeting will be held at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Route 539. There will be no speaker at that meeting. “We will be having a holiday brunch and if you would like to join us, please bring a contribution of a food item that can be shared.” Call either Fran Reeve at 732-350-7415, Stefanie Rotsaert at 732-350-2904 or Sims at 732-674-4071 to let them know what you will be bringing. “This is a time to meet new neighbors with a common interest or catch up with old ones for the holiday season. We hope to see you there,” Sims said. The club will not meet in January. The first meeting of 2020 will be February 5, at 10 a.m. at St. Stephen’s Church.
Blue Christmas Service To Be Held
WHITING – The Whiting United Methodist Church will hold its 5th Annual Blue Christmas Service at 2 p.m. on December 19. This service will be an uplifting of peace, hope, prayer, music and light especially for those who are suffering, sad or lonely during the Christmas season. This time has been called the “long, dark night of the soul” and the “winter of our discontent”.
It is a time when memories of past experiences and the pain of the present can be overwhelming. The clergy of the church wants everyone to remember that during moments of pain and sorrow, Christ comes with a word of hope. This event is open to non-members of the church. The church is located at 55 Lacey Rd. in Whiting. For additional information call the church office at 732-350-6878.

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. Knee pain patients are unique and suffer from a great deal of pain. They deserve and require practitioners who are invested in their case, who take the time to explain what’s causing the pain
and why particular treatments may work or not work. That’s the difference at Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation. Five-star service and the well-being of their patients are the doctors’ top priorities. At Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation, there are no cookie cutter plans. With so many different services available in one facility, there are a number of possibilities and different combinations of treatments that can be customized to each patient. While these doctors do see many patients who receive injections to postpone painful knee surgery, some patients may benefit more from Cold Laser Therapy combined with physical therapy, or maybe acupuncture or vibration therapy. There are a number of possibilities and no one single solution to cure all knee pain. So what’s the solution? Start with a consultation with one of these skilled medical professionals. Sit down with one of the doctors to determine exactly which approach would be the most effective in your case.

Knee Pain Solution: Combining Time-Tested Injections with New Technologies So many people who have been experiencing knee pain have sought out treatment before. Whether they tried a round of injections, painkillers, or saw a doctor and were told surgery is necessary, many people suffering from knee pain feel like they’ve tried everything. There have been many patients who have called Monmouth Pain & Rehabilitation saying that they’ve exhausted all their options, but they may as well see if these therapies will help. They come in hopeless, and many end up having more success than ever before! So, what is it that makes this facility special? It’s bringing together all the individual working pieces to provide the well-rounded, all-encompassing treatment that delivers results. Patients can get multiple treatments all under one roof.

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

Route 539:
Continued From Page 4 “We routinely patrol County Route 539 on a daily basis,” said Sgt. Antonio Ellis. “In addition, we have participated in grant-funded traffic enforcement operations along with the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department during the summer months, specifically on County Route 539. “There are portions of County Route 539 that are difficult for officers to safely conduct traffic stops on the northernmost and southernmost boarders with the township due to limited roadway shoulders,” he said. “We focus enforcement more near the intersections of State Highway Route 70 and County Route 530 where officers can pull over motorists in a safe location.” In Jackson Township, CR 539 only spans about .5 miles before reaching into Plumsted, according to Capt. Steve Laskiewicz. On that small stretch of road, Jackson Police responded to two accidents this year, one due to road conditions and the other was actually in Plumsted. Little Egg Harbor, and Plumsted Township Police Departments did not respond to Jersey Shore Online’s request for crash statistics as of press time. On a larger scale, Officer Mazur provided crash statistics on CR 539 for the entirety of Ocean County in 2017 and 2018. Aside from the results of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Traffic Enforcement program, Mazur said comprehensive statistics of this kind were not yet available for 2019. In 2018, there were 183 accidents on Ocean County’s CR 539, including: • 70 due to distracted driving • 10 due to unsafe speed • 8 due to drowsiness • 4 due to alcohol • 4 due to cell phone usage • 2 due to drugged driving Only one of those 183 accidents was fatal and this occurred in Plumsted due to driver inattention, said Mazur. One accident involved serious injuries and 12 involved minor injuries. In 2017, there were 190 accidents on Ocean County’s CR 539, including: • 55 due to distracted driving • 7 due to unsafe speed • 3 due to drowsiness • 7 due to alcohol • 1 due to cell phone usage • 2 due to drugged driving Four of those 190 accidents were fatal and 10 involved minor injuries. Mazur broke it down, highlighting Manchester, Plumsted, and Little Egg Harbor Townships as the municipalities with the highest number of accidents on average on this road. In 2018, Manchester saw 58; Plumsted, 57; and Little Egg Harbor, 27. In 2017, Manchester saw 67; Plumsted, 41; and Little Egg Harbor, 44. What we can glean otherwise from the figures is that distracted driving and speeding are the most prevalent risk factors along CR 539. Maintaining Safety Mazur noted that there are typically Sheriff’s officers patrolling parts of CR 539 every day, in addition to patrols by local police departments. “They aren’t assigned [to patrol the road], but they make it a point to go over there,” said Mazur. As mentioned, local police departments are aware of the current state of affairs on CR 539
The Manchester Times, November 23, 2019, Page 15 and also make it a point to consistently patrol the area. Even government officials who might not travel CR 539 regularly understand the dangers of the road to locals, including pedestrians. On Oct. 31, 2019, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) sent out a press release calling for the construction of a bridge over CR 539 near Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL). Booker (D-NJ), along with Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and US Representatives
Andy Kim (D-NJ), Donald Norcross (D-NJ), and Chris Smith (R-NJ), sent the letter as a request to the US Air Force (USAF) to build an overpass over 539, “which splits Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL) and puts at risk the safety and welfare of civilians and military personnel in New Jersey.” In a letter, the lawmakers asked the USAF for assistance approving the construction request, which if funded would put an end to preventable accidents caused by “the dangerous combination
of civilian and military vehicles that utilize the road daily.” These NJ representatives called CR 539 “treacherous” and “the fifth-deadliest roadway in New Jersey four years in a row.” As for the drivers, those who routinely travel CR 539 might want to heed the warning embedded in these figures; speeding and distracted driving are cause for a majority of accidents on this road, from benign to fatal. -Chris Lundy contributed to this story

Healthy Hearing With Folic Acid
In a world where the word “healthy” is tossed around like a salad, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by information about your well-being. To make things simpler for you, we’ve served up some easy-to-digest facts about diet and hearing health. Folate is naturally found in food, whereas folic acid is manmade from folate. This B vitamin is proven to help prevent high-frequency hearing loss, which is the varying inability to perceive high-pitched sounds and consonants. Folic acid decreases the amount of the amino acid homocysteine in your blood by increasing the creation of red blood cells. Too much homocysteine causes hearing difficulty by reducing blood flow to the inner ear. Folic acid is also useful in preventing heart disease, stroke, and dementia. Older adults need 400 micrograms of folic
acid every day for good health. It is easy to increase your daily intake of the nutrient by eating more of foods like beans, citrus fruits, enriched grains, and dark leafy vegetables. To make it easier, in January 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began requiring manufacturers to add folic acid to food that is labeled as “enriched.” Increasing your intake can be as simple as rolling out of bed and grabbing a quick breakfast. Just a cup of enriched breakfast cereal with one cup of 1 percent milk, plus three-quarters of a cup of OJ on the side, will put you at 32 percent of your daily requirement of folic acid in one meal. Talk about starting your day off right! Folic acid-rich foods like spinach, avocado, strawberries, broccoli, and cantaloupe are hearing helpful foods.

5 People Who Need More Phosphatidylcholine
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Fatigue is a challenging issue for people, and it’s hard to test for a root cause beyond standard adrenal and thyroid function tests. Sometimes a third etiology is considered and that would be B-vitamin status. All these issues can definitely lead to, or contribute to chronic fatigue. But no one typically checks for choline or phosphatidylcholine levels. Choline forms phosphatidylcholine (PC). This is a naturally occurring B-vitamin compound that is required to make acetylcholine, your memory neurotransmitter. Persistent fatigue and brain fog could be due to low levels of PC. Many plastic surgeons use phosphatidylcholine-based fat dissolvers to get rid of chin fat. By “dissolve fat” I mean it could work a bit like your dish soap does. You know how you put that pan in the sink that has globules of fat from the ground beef you just browned? It’s kind of like that. The term “phosphatidylcholine” is sometimes confused with “lecithin,” but they’re slightly different. Choline is a component of phosphatidylcholine, which is a component of lecithin. Cholesterol Ratios. Phosphatidylcholine may reduce triglycerides. I think this type of supplement could be taken along with your statin medication with no foreseeable problems, but of course ask your practitioner what’s right for you. Forgetfulness. PC used in the body to create more acetylcholine, which is known as a memory molecule. Low levels
of acetylcholine are associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Your brain is made of fat and fatty tissue craves choline-based supplements. You can eat PC if you like egg yolks, soybeans and sunflower seeds. Anxiety or Bipolar. We have limited evidence for PC’s use in tardive dyskinesia and bipolar. More specifically, it could help with mood swings and depressive symptoms. Before attempting self treatment ask your psychiatrist/practitioner. Fatigue. There was a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study published in the Nutritional Journal. The researchers set out to evaluate where supplements of lecithin would help middle-aged women with their fatigue. The study included 96 women who ranged in age from 40 to 60 years old, who had complained of fatigue. They should have asked me I would have gladly obliged because I’ve been tired for like 25 years now, lol! The results were really no surprise. Both of the groups receiving the lecithin did better after supplement treatment than at the onset of the study. The group receiving the high dose (1200mg/ day) faired out best. Pregnant Moms. If you’re pregnant, or want to become pregnant soon, your diet should be very rich in choline because it is critical for your developing baby. The risk for neural tube defects (usually associated with low folate but maybe that’s old news) is shockingly four times higher if you’re choline deficient during pregnancy! Supplements like this are available at health food stores nationwide, and online.

Santa:
Continued From Page 1 businesses, senior villages and the entire Manchester community, the Kevin’s Kids Christmas Drive hopes to grant the specific Wish List of each child,” George added. To make sure that each child gets something on their wish list, Manchester teachers reach out to the parents of the identified children to develop a list for each child.
During this annual process, George noted, the staff often realizes that many of these children are asking for their very first new pair of sneakers or a brand new outfit for school, as opposed to hand-me-downs. “This Holiday Drive enables ‘Santa’ to visit the home of each of these disadvantaged children, bringing not just gifts but joy…It offers these children the chance to believe that good things can happen to them,” said George.
Manchester school officials are seeking contributions from the public, as well as from local businesses and community groups. Anything you can give to help Kevin’s Kids fulfill their pledge to these children will help. “Each donation goes directly to buy food, new toys and clothing for every child identified on our list,” said George. “It is through your help and generosity that we can achieve our goal.”
For more information, visit manchestertwp.org/kevinskids. How to Donate Toy and clothing donations can be dropped off at any Manchester school. Monetary donations can be made as well. Checks should be made payable to Manchester Township Middle School with “Kevin’s Kids” written in the memo section and mail to: Kevin’s Kids, Manchester Township Middle School, 2759 Ridgeway Rd., Manchester, NJ 08759. The deadline for donations is Friday, December 6. For more information contact Alex George at ageorge@mtschools.org or 732-350-5900.

Gait, Falls and Common Gait Dysfunctions By: Jeffrey Mayer, PT, DPT
W
alking, or ambulation, is one of the most important functional activities that we perform to maintain our independence. Without our ability to safely ambulate around the home or in the community, we must rely on either an assistive device (cane, walker, wheelchair, crutches, etc.) or another person to help. When we were younger, we took our ability to walk for granted. As we grow older, we must start paying attention to how we walk and think about our own personal safety. If our ability to ambulate is impaired, we run a great risk for serious injury. A statistic from the CDC states that more than 1 out of 4 older people (65 years or older) fall each year. This article will briefly talk about the gait cycle, a common gait dysfunction, a common culprit for multiple gait dysfunctions, falls and how we can prevent falls in the future.
leg laterally (out to the side), but they also work to support proper hip alignment during gait. When these muscles are weak, they cause a gait pattern that appears as a limp. The limp can be demonstrated when one side of the hip drops as the other side hikes up. The side that hikes up (during stance phase on that same leg) is the side with the weak musculature. This limp can lead to a slower walking speed, a more strenuous gait pattern and ultimately an increased risk of falling.
THE GAIT CYCLE
As mentioned above, the gluteus medius is a key muscle when talking about gait and overall balance during functional activities like transfers and climbing stairs. Weakness in the gluteus medius can not only cause abnormal gait patterns, like Trendelenburg gait, but it can also cause weakness in other surrounding muscles or negative compensation patterns during your activities of daily living (ADLs). The muscle specifically acts to move the leg out to the side (laterally), prevent unnecessary movement of the leg inwards (medially), and to stabilize the hips. Without proper strength in this muscle, patients increase their risk of falling tremendously.
Gait, or “locomotion achieved through the movement of human limbs,” is much more complex than one would think. As physical therapists (PTs), we are movement specialists and we are one of the only medical professionals that specialize in human gait. Human gait can be separated into many different aspects that are crucial to understand when trying to correct unsafe gait. Briefly, gait is broken up into 7 distinct phases (as shown above; initial contact, weight acceptance, midstance, terminal stance, initial swing, mid-swing, and terminal swing. Each phase of gait could present with dysfunctions that could lead to an increased fall risk. As a PT, we must be able to find our patients’ gait dysfunctions, educate them, and help properly correct their mechanics to lead to a decreased fall risk. When we analyze abnormal gait patterns, we commonly categorize them into a few specific categories of gait; antalgic gait, ataxic gait, festinating gait, hemiplegic gait, high steppage gait, spastic gait and Trendelenburg gait.
TRENDELENBURG GAIT The Trendelenburg gait pattern is one of the most common abnormal gait patterns seen in physical therapy. It is commonly seen when patients have weak hip muscles; the gluteus medius and the gluteus minimus. These two muscles work to move the
GLUTEUS MEDIUS
FALLS When looking at the statistics, 1 out of every 5 falls cause serious injuries such as broken bones or head injuries. Even more alarming is that every year about 3 million people nationwide are treated in hospital emergency rooms for fall related injuries. In our country, the elderly population (65 years or older) is at the greatest risk for falls. These statistics may be shocking, but the reason people fall and injure themselves is because of improper gait, weakness, and decreased balance. The dangers that a single fall can present to the older population can, and most likely will, impact an entire life afterwards.
WHY DO WE FALL? Falls can be caused by so many factors, including environmental factors, behavioral factors and physical factors. Environmental factors include obstacles in the home (rugs, pets, dark/dim lighting, etc.) and obstacles in the community. Behavioral factors include improper nutrition, improper monitoring of blood pressure, decreased confidence, confusion associated with Alzheimer’s disease/dementia, and cognitive impairments associated with stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and more. Lastly, physical factors include muscle weakness, difficulty walking,
balance impairments, coordination impairments, vision problems, foot/ankle pain, and proper footwear. Most falls are caused by a combination of the above risk factors, and the more risk factors a person may have, the more likely they are to suffer a fall. In order to reduce the amount of risk factors that we present with and to reduce the risk of falling, we must consult our healthcare providers before a fall occurs.
WHAT CAN WE DO? If you’ve fallen in the past year and feel like you are at risk for falling again, the first thing you should do is contact a trusted healthcare provider. Your primary care physician, orthopedic physician, PT, occupational therapist (OT), physician assistant (PA) or nurse practitioner (NP) would be happy to discuss possible options for you moving forward. Ultimately, since your PT is an expert on gait, falls and balance, they will be able to properly evaluate and assess your current condition. Your PT will possibly find a positive Trendelenburg sign, suggest certain assistive devices, provide exercises to build strength and balance, provide education on proper gait, suggest community exercise classes and assess the safety of your home environment. Do not be afraid to talk to a healthcare provider about your fall risk and your gait!

Dear Joel, This year it’s my turn to host the family Thanksgiving meal, we’ll be approximately 20 people. Since my last holiday hosting, it seems that almost everyone has adopted new dietary ‘lifestyles’, ranging from vegan to paleo and everything in between. How can I possibly make a Thanksgiving meal that satisfies everyone? Do you have any suggestions? Answer: As we learn more about how food affects the human body, more and more people are adopting healthier eating habits. I too have friends and family with varied dietary requirements, so I can appreciate your challenge. I would suggest asking every-
one to bring one dish that accommodates their palette, while you stick to the more traditional meal. Also, try serving a variety of appetizers and desserts that satisfy most of your guests. Don’t feel pressured to make homemade everything as the world of prepared foods for vegans, vegetarians, etc. has vastly improved. Most of all just be thankful for the time you all have together and RELAX, whatever you serve will be appreciated by all. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Community Mourns Loss Of Ocean County Sheriff ’s Officer
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Local law enforcement and the Ocean County community mourns the loss of longtime Ocean County Sheriff’s Officer Christopher Connelly. Officer Connelly passed away on November 1, 2019 after a long fight with illness. According to his obituary, 44-year old Officer Connelly was born and raised in Brooklyn before moving to Brick, where he resided for 20 years. Connelly served
in the US Coast Guard and served as a law enforcement officer for 14 years. He also served in the Marine Unit of the Sheriff’s Office. Connelly is survived by his three children, Breanna, Christopher and Alexis, as well as his former spouse Corrine Smith. He was laid to rest on Thursday, Nov. 7 at the Church of the Visitation in Brick followed by an interment at St. Anne’s Cemetery in Wall.

Area Wawa Hotspot For Illegal Activity, Sting Yields Four Arrests
By Kimberly Bosco BRICK – After residents complained about regular suspicious activity at a local Wawa, Brick Police cracked down, arresting four on theft and drug charges. The Brick Police Selective Enforcement Team and Drug Enforcement Unit teamed up to conduct a sting centered on the Wawa at 116 Brick Blvd. after residents complained of illegal activity there. The sting resulted in the following four arrests on Nov. 8: • 36-year old Michael Butler of Brick: Charged with theft and burglary when officers watched him open the unlocked driver’s door of an unoccupied vehicle at the Wawa and remove property. •37-year old Ryan Kemble of Berkeley Twp.: Charged with possession of marijuana, paraphernalia, and being under the influence of a controlled dangerous
substance when officers observed him smoking marijuana while parked in the Wawa parking lot. •34-year old Sean Provenzano of Wanakue: Charged with shoplifting when officers saw him put items into his pockets and exit the Wawa without paying. •51-year old Jason Puzio of Brick: Charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance, specifically oxycodone, when officers observed him engaging in suspicious activity, ultimately leading to a motor vehicle stop. K-9 Sergeant Paul Catalina and his K-9 partner Duke assisted in the investigation. The Brick Police Department stated that they are “committed to addressing reports of criminal activity and any behavior which disrupts the quality of life of our residents and those who visit and work here.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of nov 23 - nov 29 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Win people over by displaying enthusiasm and exuberance. In the week to come you can break down some of the barriers that prevent you from getting ahead by being warm and friendly when people are standoffish. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your charitable instincts are on the rise, but it is wise to be cautious about donating in the week ahead to charities you have not yet vetted. It might be worth your while to see how your freely offered dollars are being spent. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Finding ways to perform your job well might be the prime subject of deep thinking or an important factor in your overall well-being as this week unfolds. Planning and organizational tools can speed up your progress. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your goals and objectives can change as this week unfolds. You may be exposed to new ideas that revolutionize your thinking. Don’t depend on luck to get ahead with your career or business aspirations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are curious enough to explore your boundaries but wise enough to know just how far you can safely go. You may receive some extra publicity in the week ahead or may meet interesting people in a public venue. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Having fun and fellowship could take a lot of work. You could become bogged down by extra responsibilities during the upcoming week. You could be busy baking sweet treats or getting decorations together for a holiday event.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): An enthusiastic approach might prove helpful when dealing with the public this week. You can also be proactive about protecting your time by asking to be put on a “do not call” list or saying no to sales calls at your front door. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A change of scene could result in some opportunities to bring you and a loved one closer. The things that grab your attention in the week ahead could enrich your wallet or make performing your job easier. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the week ahead, you may spend your money because you want to express generosity or because you want to own something new, original or outstanding - whether or not it makes good business sense. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Never lose sight of what is most important to your happiness. You could easily get stuck in a rut during the week to come. Embracing new ideas, remaining open-minded and attempting to employ trending techniques can pay off. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Family dynamics can shift in a positive way as the week flies by. A scheduling conflict can be resolved. A friend’s advice or someone’s casual observations might trigger a resolution to try something new and different. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Focus on learning something new in the upcoming week. You might enjoy watching some how-to videos or attending a lecture at the community center so you can develop a new hobby or become more self-sufficient.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Start Thanksgiving Meal With Savory Squash Soup By Wolfgang Puck ROASTED WINTER SQUASH SOUP WITH AUTUMN SPICES Makes about 2 quarts (2 l), 8 appetizer servings 3 small to medium whole butternut squashes 1 whole kabocha squash Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 8 leaves fresh sage 4 cinnamon sticks, broken into halves 3/4 pound (375 g) unsalted butter 2 cups (500 ml) packed dark brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1 yellow onion, chopped 2 cups (500 ml) heavy cream 1 quart (1 l) good-quality canned low-sodium chicken stock or vegetable stock, plus extra as needed 1/2 cup (125 ml) crème fraîche, for serving 1/4 cup (60 ml) finely chopped fresh chives Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, with a large, sharp chef’s knife, carefully cut each squash lengthwise in half. With a large spoon, scoop out and discard the seeds and fibers from the cavity of each half. Place the squash halves cut side up in a large roasting pan. Season with salt and pepper. In each cavity, place 1 sage leaf, 1 half a cinnamon stick, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Sprinkle with the
cardamom, ginger, and nutmeg. Pour 2 cups (500 ml) of water in the bottom of the pan. Cover the pan with parchment paper and aluminum foil, sealing the foil around the edges. Place in the oven and roast until the squash is tender enough to pierce easily with a fork, 1 to 11/2 hours, carefully opening the foil away from you to avoid steam when testing. Remove the pan from the oven, carefully uncover, and set aside until the squash is cool enough to handle. Then, scrape the flesh from each squash half into a large mixing bowl, discarding the skins. Place a large pot over medium heat. Add the remaining butter and cook until it has melted and begins to brown, watching carefully that it doesn’t burn. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the roasted squash and the 1 quart (1 l) stock to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for 45 minutes. Puree the soup and the cream until smooth, using an immersion blender in the pot; or with a countertop blender, working in batches to avoid overfilling and following the manufacturer’s instructions to prevent spattering of the hot liquid. Gently reheat the soup in the pot, adjusting the seasonings to taste and adding a little more stock, if needed, to bring it to the desired consistency. Before serving, transfer the crème fraîche to a bowl and stir briskly to make it a little more fluid. Ladle the hot soup into warmed soup bowls, topping each serving with a small dollop of crème fraiche and some chopped chives.
