Ghosts Of Elections Past: What Are These Signs Still Doing Here?
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – It’s been about two months since Election Day 2019 and the essence of those election campaigns is still lingering throughout the county…literally. Maybe you’re on your morning commute to work, driving through your local neighborhood,
or heading out to do some shopping when you see it: an election campaign sign still hanging on. You’re not the only one. Micromedia Publications even has one near our Lakehurst office, calling for voters to choose McGuckin & Catalano for New Jersey’s 10th (Signs - See Page 6)
| January 11, 2020
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari returned to a very familiar role, that of director of the Board of Chosen Freeholders. Vicari previously served 11 times as Director of the Board, most recently in 2017. He was chosen among his peers to serve as director in 2020. He is the longest serving Freeholder in New Jersey, having first been elected in 1981 and previously served as mayor of Dover (now Toms River) Township five times. He is a retired school superintendent. “It’s a privilege to be selected by my fellow freeholders to lead the board in the New Year,” Vicari said. Gary Quinn, the newest member of the board, having been elected in 2018, will serve as deputy director. Quinn previously served on the Lacey Committee for 15 years and also served as the township’s mayor for several years. He is the director of both the Human Services and Transportation Departments and the liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste and the Ocean County Mosquito Commission. The new director and deputy director were sworn during the board’s annual re-organization meeting. Vicari serves as Chairman of the Office of Senior Services and the Department of Consumer Affairs. He is also liaison to the Ocean County Vocational-Technical Schools and the Department of Tourism and Business Development. Among his priorities for 2020 include continuation of affordable government, Vicari said. “Ocean County has the fourth-lowest county tax rate in the state. I can promise our residents that there will be no surprises when the county budget is introduced later this year.” Stressing education as another priority, Vicari said the opening of the new vocational school Performing Arts Academy at Ocean County College will be a highlight of 2020. “The new state-of-the-art facility will allow students to complete a two-year college degree while still in high school.” Another issue that will carry through to 2020 includes “fighting for senior citizens and opposing both federal and state cuts to senior (Fiscal - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 programs,” Vicari said. “Washington D.C. and Trenton cannot balance their budgets on the backs of our seniors. It has to stop.” Vicari said he also looks forward to working closely with Quinn. “I look forward to serving with Freeholder Director Vicari and the other members of the board in maintaining our AAA bond rating,” Quinn said. A good bond rating, like AAA, allows the county to borrow money at a lower rate. “Affordability and outstanding services have long been priorities of this Board of Freeholders and will continue to be in 2020.” Before Vicari and Quinn flipped their nameplates to show their new titles, Congressman Chris Smith administered the oath of office to Freeholder Virginia E. “Ginny” Haines who was sworn in for her second three-year term. She had served as the board’s director in 2019. She was appointed to the Board on January 27, 2016 to fill the seat left vacant by Freeholder James F. Lacey. Haines, who serves as chairwoman to the department of Parks and Recreation and the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee, noted “there are 600,000 people who live in Ocean County. As we get to the business of county government I am sure 2020 will have its share of challenges what year doesn’t but I know each year brings new opportunities.” In a moment of levity, Freeholder Kelly thanked 3rd District Democrat Congressman Andy Kim for attending the meeting among the many Ocean County dignitaries present, saying, “listen to Van Drew” in
reference to Rep. Jefferson H. Van Drew who was the Democratic nominee in New Jersey’s 2nd congressional district in the 2018 election and who on December 19, 2019, announced that he had joined the Republican Party. “I started elected office in 1979. I wasn’t even married yet. However, Congressman Chris Smith was a congressman in 1979 and he is now the senior member of congress in the state of New Jersey. I am serving my tenth term on the Board of Chosen Freeholders,” Kelly said. Kelly who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Finance said, “I assure you this year’s budget taxes will not go up and I believe they will again go down.” Freeholder Gerry P. Little was among those who gave praise to former Freeholder and Ocean County Republican Party leader Joseph Buckelew and noted that Ocean County has the largest parks system, road system and library system in the state. “We also have the largest public health agency in the state.” Quinn and Haines both commended Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy who was sworn in for a new term of office in a separate swearing in ceremony earlier in the day. Kim told the members of the board, “I have faith in the people of Ocean County and the five of you.” “It is a pleasure to work with you. You have great senses of humor you get the job done and you are great lawmakers for the county,” Smith said of the Freeholder board. Buckelew said “if the rest of New Jersey modeled Ocean County it would be a better state. I am proud of you all.”

Signs:
Continued From Page 1 legislative district. Which they did…on November 5. So why are these signs still standing so many weeks after elections? Who is responsible for them? According to Kevin Enright of the Ocean County Board of Elections, the candidates or assigned groups who placed the signs are
also responsible for their removal. In Micromedia’s case, considering that NJ’s 10th district is comprised of Bay Head, Brick, Island Heights, Lakehurst, Lavallette, Manchester, Mantoloking, Pt. Pleasant Beach, Seaside Heights and Toms River in Ocean County, it might be safe to assume that McGuckin has had some help placing those signs. Tom Bonfonti, Executive Director for the Ocean County GOP, told Jersey Shore On-
line that the majority of election campaign signs you see are put up with help from the community. “The process of putting up lawn signs is a rather simple one. The significant majority of the lawn signs are put up with the assistance of folks in the local community. Those signs are all also taken down after Election Day by those same people,” Bonfonti explained. Essentially, if you put a sign up, you take

it down. That is also a good way of keeping a record of where signs are located, through the accountability of the public. However, not everyone or every group follows through with that, as evidenced by leftover signs. Bonfonti added that, “Outside of that process, volunteers and supporters will often ask for signs. When a volunteer takes a sign they will most likely be placing it on their own lawn. Sometimes, those volunteers put them up in public and do not inform us.” This is likely the case with the signs still lingering, he said. And that goes for any campaigns that were part of this recent election. “We advise everyone to take down their signs after Election Day. We also ask the folks who help us put them out originally to take down signs of ours (even if they did not place them originally) if they see them when they are out and in the community,” said Bonfonti. Moral of the story: if you see a lingering sign, grab it and recycle it.

Newly Engaged Couple Seeks Lost Ring
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – A newly engaged couple is asking for the public’s help to locate their lost engagement ring. Toms River resident Eric Thiel took to Facebook recently when his fiancée’s engagement ring went missing from the Planet Fitness on Fischer Boulevard on Jan. 3. Michelle Moore took off her ring in the women’s locker room to wash her hands, placing it on the counter before leaving. When she realized she forgot it, she went back to find the ring no longer there.
Despite having filed a police report and searching the Planet Fitness location, the couple has come up empty. In Thiel’s urgent post, he asks everyone to read and share in the hopes that someone out there has the ring and will do the right thing. “Please, we just got engaged on Christmas Eve. It would mean the world to us to get it back. No questions asked. Any information that can help us find it would be greatly appreciated,” Thiel wrote. Any information can be directed to Eric Thiel at 732-814-9517.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Best Quotes Of 2019
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Throughout the year, our reporters talk to a lot of people. And we listen. Some statements need to be highlighted because they have a lot of truth to them. Here are some quotes that bear repeating:
presented an Internet Safety Forum at Brick Memorial High School. “Your kids are pack animals, and they always find the weak link, or the outsider.” “Parents Are The Front Line Of Internet Safety” by Judy Smestad-Nunn (Feb. 2)
When long-time administrator Dennis Filippone was retiring, he recalled something one of his mentors said to him. Legendary coach Warren H. Wolf, who would later pass away, had told him “Always look for the best in people, because the worst in them will find you.” “Filippone Retires After 4 Decades In Brick” by Judy Smestad-Nunn (Jan. 12)
“The problems of homelessness are much larger than just not having a home,” Toms River business administrator Don Guardian said in reference to services being offered to homeless people at the Code Blue temporary shelters. “Temporary Shelter To Save Homeless From Freezing Weather” by Chris Lundy (Jan. 12)
Freeholder Jack Kelly described his new responsibilities during the re-organization meeting in the beginning of the year after the passing of Freeholder John Bartlett. “In losing John Bartlett, we all had to take new assignments. The new assignment I got was as chairman of budget and management, which I thought was pretty good. I like that. But you know what I’ve come to find out? I made a whole lot of new friends,” Kelly quipped. “Every department head now calls me Mr. Kelly. They didn’t even know who the hell I was just six months ago, now all know who I am, which is nice to see.” “Freeholders Reconvene For 2019, Remember Freeholder Bartlett” by Jennifer Peacock (Jan. 12)
“A business doesn’t last because of the product but because of the service,” Frank Gustafson said about the closing of his store, Jackson Hobby Shop, which lasted for 50 years. “Hobby Shop Closes After Half A Century” by Bob Vosseller (Jan. 26)
Preventing cyberbullying was an issue that parents had to take a lesson on. Detective David Brubaker of the High Tech Crimes Unit Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office
Several key quotes came from issues of inequality. “We also celebrate the 90th birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr…we need to bear witness to his dreams and his hopes for this country, because they seem to have gotten lost somewhere along the way,” said Joan Marie Slater, former advisor for Manchester Schools. “When we got to the airport, we heard a rumor that there was a bomb on the airplane, so we got concerned and we all wrote out our wills,” Reisa Sweet said, remembering taking a f light to Selma, (Quotes - See Page 13)

Her family moved here to get away from anti-Semitism. Moving to Jackson, she was mostly protected from that until recently. “Things were going pretty great for 30 years, then it was like déjà vu but not the good kind.” “Is everything perfect in their community?

Elbow Up
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.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

DIABETES AND BLURRY VISION
People with diabetes can experience blurry vision that causes objects to look out of focus. It can be understated or noticeable, can change throughout the day, and can come on slowly or quickly, depending on the cause. Long-term uncontrolled diabetes can lead to high blood sugar levels that gradually damage small blood vessels. As a result of this condition, called “diabetic retinopathy,” vision becomes blurred. With shortterm blurriness in diabetics, fluid can move into and out of the eye due to high blood sugar levels, causing the lens of the eye to swell and impede focusing ability. It is crucial for diabetics to determine whether their blurred vision is due to short- or long-term uncontrolled diabetes. Careful management of your diabetes is the best way to prevent vision loss. If you have diabetes, see your eye doctor for a yearly eye exam with dilation — even if your vision seems fine. Pregnancy may worsen diabetic retinopathy, so if you’re pregnant, your eye doctor may recommend additional eye exams throughout your pregnancy. To schedule an appointment, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES at 732-349-5622.

Lettuce Alternatives By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
At this point, you should probably just throw out all your lettuce. It doesn’t matter if it came from Salinas, California because other states may be involved now. There have been over 100 reported cases across 23 states at the time of this writing. There is an official recall. I’m not being an alarmist, Just the other day, we were told to trash those convenient bagged salad ‘kits’ because there are various types of lettuce in there, and some bags might have the contaminated E. coli leaves in it. The warning to consumers was about the brand called, Fresh Express Sunflower Crisp Chopped Salad Kits.” Just days after that urgent concern, the FDA has announced it is looking into several other E. coli outbreaks linked to lettuce grown from other states. There are multiple strains of pathogens and once infected, symptoms can show up between 1 day and a week later! One quick thing, if you are supported on warfarin or other anticoagulants, please be aware that all salad greens are high in Vitamin K (some more than others), so do not change your diet without your doctor’s approval and supervision. Here are some lettuce alternatives for those of you who wish to avoid Romaine and other lettuces: Rainbow or Swiss chard. These have broad green leaves attached to a bright crimson red stalk. The red in the leaves and stalk is due to the natural dye “betalain” which is used for liver health. If you’ve ever cooked chard, you know this shrinks to nothing! You can fill a
giant 16 quart pot with these, and by the time you’ve steamed it over five minutes, you’ll end up with a spoonful! I once bought 6 of these at once, and when I checked out at the supermarket, the cashier sarcastically asked me if I was going to eat all that myself. Without batting an eye, I quipped, “No I have a horse to feed!” Spinach. Like all leafy greens, spinach is high in fiber and promotes regularity. It contains oxalates, and it is very rich in potassium which regulates blood pressure. Radicchio. Radicchio is a small, round reddish-purple sphere and pairs well with greens in a salad. It’s way tastier than red cabbage. Add radicchio to your salad because it is high in Vitamin C, Vitamin K and other micronutrients. Mustard Greens. Taste this green before chopping it into your salad, because most people have to acquire the taste! I must be weird, I don’t mind eating it raw. If you lightly steam or Blanche it, you will reduce the bitterness. This popular plant gives us mustard seeds, which can be turned into one of our favorite condiments! Watercress. Very versatile and contains over 50 vitamins and minerals. Scientific data shows this can help prevent DNA cellular damage and in that regard, perhaps slow the development of cancer. Sometimes people worry about the goitrogenic effect on iodine absorption, and subsequent production of thyroid hormone, but I think a little watercress is just fine.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE President Trump To Hold Rally In South Jersey
By Jason Allentoff WILDWOOD – President Donald J. Tr ump will hold one of his popular campaign rallies in South Jersey later this month, according to his re-election campaign. A website has been launched where you can obtain free tickets to the event scheduled for Tuesday, January 28 at the Wildwoods Convention Center. U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-2nd, will travel with him on Air Force One for the event. It was in late December that Van Drew, a longtime Democrat, announced he was switching parties and joining the GOP. Van Drew was one of only two Democrats to vote against President Trump’s impeachment in the House of Representatives. He opted to switch parties the
next day which left many in his district scratching their heads. The last time a president came to south Jersey was when President Ronald Regan visited Hammonton in 1984. President Barack Obama came to the Jersey Shore after Superstorm Sandy where he was photographed with Governor Chris Christie. According to the website for the rally, you may only register up to two (2) tickets per mobile number per event and all tickets are subject to fi rst come fi rst serve basis. We have a link to obtain tickets on our website, jerseyshoreonline.com What do you think? Are you excited President Trump is coming to New Jersey? Will you attend? Tell us on our Facebook page!

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of jan 11 - jan 17
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): An abundance of physical energy and high spirits makes your popularity rise to new heights. Your efforts will be rewarded in the week ahead with admiration as well as a bigger bank balance or unexpected bonus. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be called upon to volunteer time to a worthy cause or participate in a public event. In the week ahead, you can expand your network of friends by joining groups that gather for a worthwhile purpose. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Focus on being friendly and outgoing in the week ahead. Loved ones and friends have been tolerant of your occasional rants and raves in the past but may need you to become more open-minded and obliging. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Getting out and about is the best prescription for cabin fever. A trip to the newest market or even some online shopping may satisfy your wanderlust this week. A partner will appreciate any steps you take to save money. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can smile even when you are filled with grit and determination. In the week ahead you may become fixated on solving problems and fixing failures. You can easily switch gears to enjoy carefree time with loved ones. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Thinking outside the box may be your specialty as this week begins. Putting your creative genius to practical use, however, may require a great deal more effort than anticipated. Ask for help and you’ll likely receive it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Hang out with people who promote positivity. In the week
to come, you may meet people who inspire you to adjust your outlook on life in uplifting ways. You may feel more attractive or receive unexpected admiration. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Respect the rights of others who wish to act independently, and they will respect your rights in return. You’ll find plenty of opportunities to exchange affectionate sweet nothings with a romantic partner in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your enthusiasm, productivity and dedication to living up to your commitments could be more noticeable in the upcoming week. Keep a pen handy to jot down notes, as some of your ideas could be revolutionary. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Brotherly love could bubble up from your heart and overpower a tendency to be businesslike. Speaking your mind on certain issues can win you friends if you exercise diplomacy, discretion and tact as this week unfolds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make a decision before your plans are hijacked by someone else. In the coming week you can be more resolute and aggressive when faced with choices. Act in your own best interest without taking advantage of others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your ability to make money may improve during the week ahead if you tap into energetic impulses. Distribute free samples of your products or show generosity toward others to win favorable attention and spread goodwill.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Fortify Yourself During Winter With This Easy Garlic Soup Recipe By Wolfgang Puck CREAM OF GARLIC SOUP Serves 6 For the soup: 2 cups (500 ml) peeled garlic cloves 1 large baking potato, about 3/4 pound (375 g), peeled and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes 2 cups (500 mL) super-quick rich chicken stock (recipe follows) or good-quality canned chicken or vegetable stock or broth Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 3/4 cup (185 mL) heavy cream Chopped chives (optional garnish) For the basil oil: 1/4 cup (60 mL) packed fresh basil leaves 1/4 cup (60 mL) packed fresh Italian parsley leaves 1 cup (250 mL) extra-virgin olive oil First, blanch the garlic: Put the garlic cloves in a medium saucepan and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain well. Return the garlic cloves to the pan, add the potatoes and stock, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender enough to piece easily with a fork or sharp knife tip, about 20 minutes. Pour in the cream. Over medium heat, bring back to a gentle boil.
Meanwhile, prepare the basil oil: Put the basil, parsley, and oil in a blender and blend until smoothly pureed. Pour through a fine-meshed strainer into a glass bowl; set aside. Rinse out the blender thoroughly. Working in batches if necessary to avoid overfilling, transfer the soup to the blender and blend until smoothly pureed, carefully following the manufacturer’s instruction to avoid spattering. Transfer the soup to a clean saucepan and gentle rewarm over low heat, adjusting the seasonings to taste. To serve, ladle the soup into heated bowls. Drizzle with a small spoonful of basil oil, refrigerating the remainder in an airtight container. You can also garnish with chopped chives, if you wish. SUPER-QUICK RICH CHICKEN STOCK Makes about 3 quarts (3 L) 3 quarts (3 L) low-sodium store-bought chicken stock or broth 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and cut into chunks 1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into chunks 1 medium celery stalk, trimmed and cut into chunks 1 sprig fresh thyme 1/2 bay leaf 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 1 medium leek, trimmed, halved lengthwise, thoroughly rinsed, and cut into chunks In a small stockpot or large saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, skimming frequently. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 30 minutes. Strain before use.
