Trump Rally Comes To Seaside Heights Boardwalk
Todd Frazier Will Be A Met Again
─Photo by Bob Vosseller Flag waving and some chanting was part of a march for the 45th president of the United States on the boardwalk of Seaside Heights recently. By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – With Election Day right around the corner and the presidential race heating up with a barrage of commercials following the two major party conventions, some suppor ters of Donald J. Trump came out to express their support on the borough boardwalk. It was described as a spontaneous rally with
no organizing leader stepping forward, though that didn’t stop about 40 people from marching along the boardwal k wear i ng Trump hats, T-shirts, pins and carrying flags and banners. Supporters saw a short message that was circulating on social media and while there were no speeches ma de, they weren’t shy about communicating why
they felt the president deserved another four years in office. Ted and Nancy Peterson learned about the event and knew they had to attend. The couple from Toms River sported shirts and hats that proclaimed their support of President Trump. “He’s for the little guy. He’s for us, for the Americans. A lot of times I think he is demonized. They twist
his words and make him sound like he’s not for us but for Russia or China or somewhere else and he’s not,” Nancy Peterson said. “We want to show our support because while a lot of people do support him many are afraid to show it,” she added, noting that while she had her pink “2020 Make America Great Again” ball cap (Parade - See Page 7)
Boat Parade Sets Course To Support Vets, Police And Trump
By Bob Vosseller N EW J ER SEY – Some red and white was added to all that blue water in the Barnegat Bay during Labor Day weekend with a massive f lotilla of pleasure boats that set sail at the Jersey shore in support of law en-
forcement, veterans and President Donald J. Trump. The seafaring spectacle was organized by Chris Molla, 42, of Manahawkin who said during its planning that he expected it to be epic and he was not disappointed.
VETERAN &
FIRST RESPONDER
DISCOUNTS OFFERED
A fleet of around 2,000 to 2,500 boats launched following a prayer and the National Anthem. The boats were adorned with American flags, Thin Blue Line flags and Trump flags as they traveled up to 10 miles of the Garden State’s water ways from where
the Toms River meets the Barnegat Bay. Molla and his wife provided passage aboard his 10-meter Trojan International boat to several retired and active-duty police officers. “We had a Marine who is now a police officer, an active duty
Marine and our theme for the boat this year that my wife wanted to do was Women for Trump so we had eight or nine girls so I got the lucky boat.” The “Women For Trump” f lag f lew on Molla’s boat during the day.

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Todd Frazier is moving back to “New York, New York.” The local sports hero, who makes it a habit to have Frank Sinatra playing when he’s at bat, will be returning to the Mets. “It’s been real @rangers. I want to thank you guys for everything. I got to meet and play with some great people in Arlington. I will definitely miss them. With that being said, we got some unfinished business in Queens,” he posted on social media. Frazier was part of the 1998 Little League World Series-winning team in Toms River. He went on to star wherever he played: Toms River High School South, Rutgers University, the Cincinnati Reds, the Chicago White Sox, the New York Yankees and then the New York Mets. After spending two years with the Mets, he was brought to the Texas Rangers for one year. Now, it’s back to New York, and back to the Mets. According to ESPN, the Mets acquired Frazier and catcher Robinson Chirinos from the Rangers. As of press time, the two players traded to the Rangers were not named. “We’re not playing great baseball right (Mets - See Page 4)
September 11 Ceremonies Will Be Different This Year
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY - While the coronavirus has made it difficult to have gatherings of a certain size, veterans are encouraging people to continue to remember the attacks on September 11, 2001 in their own way. Gov. Phil Murphy has issued executive orders limiting the size of indoor and outdoor events. Some large celebrations, like the July 4th fireworks over the Toms River, had to be cancelled. But even more solemn events have been impacted. (Ceremony - See Page 9)

Metsv:
Continued From Page 1 now and we need to boost ourselves,” Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen told ESPN. “So hopefully these players can give us that opportunity.” Frazier hit 39 home runs for the Mets over two seasons in 2018 and 2019. He hit .241 with two homers in 31 games for Texas this year after signing with the Rangers in January, according to ESPN. But he wasn’t sought for just his stats, but his personality. “He can hit a home run, he can start a game at third base, he can start a game at first base, he can DH,” Van Wagenen said. “It shouldn’t be lost that we want Todd Frazier’s energy, to come in and bring some life, be a guy that can come in and remind people what having fun is all about and someone who has a history with a lot of the players on our team.” In addition to his baseball wins, fans have supported this hometown boy made good due to positive stories about his behavior
off the diamond. In 2014, he reportedly saved a choking man using the Heimlich maneuver in a Pittsburgh restaurant back when he was with the Cincinnati Reds. In 2013, the Reds had an honorary batboy named Teddy Kramer, a 30-year-old man with Down syndrome. Before stepping out to the plate, Kramer told Frazier to hit a home run. Frazier obliged, bringing in another runner at the same time. After they came back to the dugout, the video camera caught Frazier lifting Kramer in a hug. Locally, he’s been known to lend his voice and advocacy for good causes such as the Field of Dreams. This will be a special needs playground and more that will be in Bey Lea Park on North Bay Avenue in Toms River. The plans for this include a walking path with rehabilitative stations, a temperature-controlled pavilion, complimentary snack shack, courts for basketball, bocce and shuffle board, a state of the art all-inclusive playground, quiet corner, and baseball field.

Parade:
Continued From Page 1 for almost a year, she was afraid to wear it public unless it was at special rally events. Despite Ocean County being a very red county in a very blue state on the political spectrum the Petersons said they were leery of putting up a Trump flag. “I don’t want to have any damage to my house or my car but I put the American flag out and I think that shows exactly the same thing.” Her husband who sported an identical cap in red added, “he’s a good man.” They sat on a bench waiting to see if the event would feature a march or if it was simply a call for Trump supporters to come out in Trump attire, banners and flags. Nancy Peterson said she and her husband had attended a Point Pleasant Beach Trump rally held a few months ago. The Caldaro family, also of Toms River came out to see what was happening. Jack Caldaro was joined by his adult daughters Jackie and Stephanie for the rally. When asked about the upcoming election Jack Caldaro said he felt “with the mail-in ballots I think it is going to be a ruse. There will be so much cheating if it is a close race, we won’t find out who the president is until months after the election.” “The politicians are making the whole world divisive. Constantly lying. If the president came out and cured cancer the Democrats would find something wrong. I wasn’t a Democrat or a Republican I always voted for individuals. Now it got to a point that you have to vote Republican to get this garbage out. He’s doing a fantastic job,” he said. His daughter Stephanie said four years ago she was attracted to Trump being a businessman and not a politician. “I said let’s try something new and see what happens. Things are so racially charged, politically charged and it is just out of control. They want to control us it seems. If you get political and wear things you are seen as scary.” Unlike her sister and father, she did not sport any Trump attire. “I don’t want to be scared in America,” she added. “I wanted something different and he gave us something different and I’m proud of what he’s doing or the country.” “I totally agree with my sister. They don’t look at the good things he’s doing,” Jackie Caldaro said. Noriko Kowalewski is the president of the
The Toms River Times, September 12, 2020, Page 7 Ocean County Federation of Republican Women. She came out with her 24-yearold son Tom Kowalewski. She watched the recent Republican National Conference describing it as “uplifting and patriotic and gave us good feelings about our future under President Trump.” “My whole life has been the same Bush and Obama and I don’t want it to go back to the same. I’m young I want him to remain,” her son said in support of Trump. South Toms River Councilmen Thomas Rolzhausen and Sandford Ross came out sporting Trump shirts and hats. “We need to turn all of New Jersey red,” Ross said. “This is a very important election and the way the world is going with their (Democrats) socialist agenda we need Trump to be in there,” Rolzhauser said. Patrick Conner traveled from Howell Township for the event with his friends. He is a staunch Trump supporter. “I am voting for Trump because he knows what America started out to be. A free land, patriotic citizens who love their freedom all the amendments and the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and that all holds true today. Biden and the rest want to change everything to what it is not.” The crowd began to migrate to the center and then decided to march down the boardwalk waving banners and flags and cheering before returning to their starting point. While a few people cheered the impromptu mini parade Manchester resident Aris Sykes expressed her view with a boo as they walked by the boardwalk business she was working at. “I am not a Trump supporter at all. He is the worst president ever. I feel we have gone backwards in so many ways and that he is promoting violence. There are so many things he could have done differently,” Sykes said. She noted Trump’s opposition to issues like climate change and that he had encouraged people to engage in violence. “He’s not behaving like a person should behave. He should not be tweeting as the president of the United States.” “I don’t feel it is a political issue. It is a moral issue. Your moral and your ethics and what you should be standing behind and I feel Trump is not morally or ethically correct so I feel if you still support him after all of these things then I am not morally or ethically aligned with you either,” Sykes added.
March At The Boards Planned For September 12 SEASIDE PARK –The hosts and organizers of March at the Boards have moved their rally for equalit y f rom September 5 to 2 p.m. September 12. Participants will gather in the parking lot of the Saw Mill Restaurant at 1807 Boardwalk. The event is being hosted by the South Jersey Solidarity Collective and Black Lives Matter New Jersey.
“The cause for this date change is due mainly to scheduling and timing conf licts as well as a desire to make the event a real success,” even spokesperson Emily LaBeaume said.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Congressman Presses Treasury Secretary To Help Working Families Recover Financially From Pandemic From The Desk Of
Congressman Andy Kim WASHI NGTON, D.C. – During a hearing of the House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis, Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) pressed U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to acknowledge the inequality in the economic recovery from the
ongoing coronavirus crisis, and commit to working with Congress to find solutions that can help working families. Congressman Kim began his first set of questions by asking Secretary Mnuchin a question from a restaurant owner in New Jersey: “what
does success mean to you when it comes to this economic recovery?” Congressman Kim followed up by asking Secretary Mnuchin if he agreed with comments by Trump Economic Advisor Larry Kudlow that we are headed towards a “V shaped recovery,” to which Secretary Mnuchin admitted that there are, “many industries and many small businesses who have been destroyed by this.” Congressman Kim further pressed the Secretary on the inequity of the recovery as many low-income workers
continue to struggle to get back to work. He continued, “what concerns me is that if we don’t seriously address it, that we can see this pandemic actually exacerbate this inequality in our nation. We had inequality well before this pandemic, I think you can agree with that. But, what I worry about is that the trajectory we’re on is something that could make America more unequal than it was before the pandemic.” During Congressman Kim’s second line of questions, he pressed Secretary Mnuchin on the issues of
housing and health care. Congressman Kim asked if the estimated $110 per person proposed by Senate Republicans would be enough to help renters avoid eviction, and asked the Secretary if it is acceptable that millions have lost health care coverage during the pandemic. During a hearing in July, Congressman Kim pressed Secretary Mnuchin for a commitment to work with Congress to ensure New Jersey and New Jersey’s municipalities have the help they need to handle the financial
impact of the Coronavirus crisis. Congressman Kim is a member of the bipartisan House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis, where he serves as one of twelve members of the House tasked with conducting oversight over programs aimed at ending the Coronavirus pandemic and helping address the economic impact it’s having on the American people. Congressman Kim is also a member of the House Armed Services Committee and the House Committee on Small Business.
Workshop Programs For People With Disabilities To Reopen Statewide From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy
TRENTON - Governor Phil Murphy, Senate President Steve Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin announced the state will provide CARES Act funding for the reopening of 26 Sheltered
Wo r k s h o p p r o g r a m s throughout the state. Shelt e r e d Wor k sho p prog r a m s prov ide e mployment, job, and skills training to people with disabilities. Statewide, there are 26 programs operating 28 sites. All have been closed since early March as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. “This is an important step in our recovery process,” said Gover nor Mur phy. “ Shelt e r e d Work shop s prov ide a posit ive a nd valuable service for our developmentally disabled community and their ability to reopen will allow those workers to regain a sense of normalcy.” “This issue is close to my heart. This is crucial funding that will reopen the doors to workshops for individuals with developmental disabilities, providing a safe work environment that cultivates their skills and abilities at a time when it is needed most,” s a id S e n a t e P r e sid e nt Sweeney. “The COVID
crisis and shutdown has been especially hard for those who relied on these workshops as safe havens where they gain invaluable experience with fair compensation for their work. This gives them a sense of purpose and pride as they are engaged in meaningful work. This is one of the best uses of CARES Act funding I can think of.” “As we work to reopen our state and begin our new normal, we must prioritize the needs of our most vulnerable, including those with developmental disabilities,” said Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin. “Sheltered Workshops help people with disabilities grow and thrive personally and professionally. Restarting these programs will reopen doors to opportunity for our disabled community. We must support these initiatives however we can.” T he Memorandu m of Understanding provides a total of $1,312,500 from the Coronavir us Relief
Fund for reopening sites. Each provider will be able to apply for up to $25,000 for the initial reopening. Those funds will be allocated toward eligible reopening costs, including those for instituting social distancing, intensified cleaning, personal protective equipment, and providing remote opportunities for individuals in these programs. Remaining funds will be used to reimburse providers for additional costs incurred in the course of ensuring that re-opening is done in a safe manner. Programs will be required to confi rm that they have applied for FEMA reimbursements if eligible, and that they are not receiving duplicate benefits. Each program has provided a reopening plan, which is being reviewed by the Department of Labor. The department is offering feedback to ensure the health and safety of the workshop employees, the employers, and the public.

Ceremony:
Continued From Page 1 John Dorrity, director of Ocean County’s Veteran Service Bureau, said ceremonies can still be held. It depends on the type of ceremony. “It’s not going to be the type of events we had because of COVID,” he said. People have to maintain safety. Masks have to be worn, social distancing must be in place. No one wants to see a spike in cases - or a spike in deaths. Dorrity said he had COVID-19 in the spring. He didn’t think that September 11 was being forgotten in the midst of the pandemic. “It is really important that we observe this day,” he said. “We have to make sure it is not forgotten while we are dealing with this (virus).” There is evidence that a vaccine is on its way to the public. If so, he expects that next year’s ceremonies will go on as usual. Next
The Toms River Times, September 12, 2020, Page 9 year will be the 20th anniversary. At the time of the interview with Dorrity, the county was still making its plans for a ceremony. Ocean County has a high concentration of veterans. Many of them are seniors and many have pre-existing health conditions. So, having a large gathering in the time of a pandemic might be dangerous. Bill Dondero, commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9503 in Bayville said that they are doing a memorial service on that day for members only. It’s a smaller service, without the public. “We show honor to the dead and to the military who are still fighting,” he said. At Berkeley’s Pride Day, there is routinely a Sept. 11 remembrance ceremony and this year was no different. It took place near the bandstand in Veterans Park where the town has a memorial. An I-beam from the Twin Towers is on display near stone markers and tall flagpoles. This is at an outside event where social distancing is possible.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE State Notes Anniversaries Of Teen Driving Laws
By Bob Vosseller TRENTON – While crashes involving teenage drivers continue to trend downward in the state, the Division of Highway Traffic Safety (“the Division”) announced a public awareness campaign to commemorate milestone anniversaries for the New Jersey’s nationally recognized teen driver laws. State law enforcement officials noted the 10-year anniversary of Kyleigh’s Law, which requires teens to affix stickers to their vehicles to identify them as novice drivers, and the 20-year anniversary of New Jersey’s Graduated Driver License (“GDL”) program, a three-tiered licensing process considered one of the most progressive and stringent teen driver measures in the country. These laws are widely credited with helping to reduce fatal crashes among teen drivers. According to data from the New Jersey State Police, crash fatalities involving a teen driver (age 16 to 20) decreased by more than 47 percent between 2008 and 2018, dropping from 101 to 53. During this period, the number of passengers under the age of 20 killed while riding in a car driven by a teen dropped by nearly 60 percent from 19 to 8. Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said, “New Jersey’s licensing policies for young drivers is a model for the nation and the downward trend in crash fatalities involving teen drivers is a reflection of our proactive efforts, but there’s more work to be done. “We’re celebrating the positive impact of our teen driver laws in a public outreach campaign to engage teens and their parents in helping us reach our goal of zero fatalities involving teen drivers,” Grewal added. The anniversary campaign seeks to educate parents, teens and stakeholders on how the GDL program works to address the risks for novice drivers. Parents play a critical role as their teens’ number one driving teacher and coach, and are encouraged to schedule plenty of practice driving time with their teen during the permit and probationary license phases. The campaign aims to help teens recognize the responsibility that comes with licensure and the importance of being positive role models for their peers and siblings, as well as speaking up when their friends drive unsafely. Two videos were produced by the Division which were directed at parents and teens. Both videos point to the gains that have been made in reducing teen driver crashes and the need to “stick to it” when it comes to complying with the GDL and decal requirements. The parent video highlights the decal’s effectiveness in reducing teen driver crashes and how teens with involved parents are less likely to engage in risky driving behaviors. The teen video features “teen experts” to explain to young drivers what Kyleigh’s law is all about and how a little red sticker attached to their license plates can save lives. The videos will be disseminated via social media, including popular teen platforms such as YouTube, Snapchat and Instagram, as well as the Division’s Facebook and Twitter accounts, and posted on the New Jersey Attorney General’s website. NJ Division of Highway Traffic Safety Director Eric Heitmann said, “we see our GDL program and Kyleigh’s law as an example of the best in New Jersey. Our anniversary campaign is designed to raise awareness of the critical role our teen driver laws play in saving lives and how important it is for teens and their parents to abide by them.” The law was named after Kyleigh D’Alessio, a 16-year-old from Washington Township (Morris
County), who was killed in a 2006 single vehicle crash involving a teenage driver. Kyleigh’s Law requires teens holding a probationary license to display red decals on the front and rear license plates of their vehicle when behind the wheel. The decal is intended to identify the driver’s provisional license status to law enforcement to assist them in enforcing curfews, passenger limits, and other provisional license restrictions. The state’s GDLlaw is a three-step process – learner’s permit, probationary (restricted) license and basic (unrestricted license) – designed to help new drivers gradually build skill, while minimizing risk. It prohibits late night driving and the use of electronic devices, limits the number of passengers, requires the use of seat belts and bans plea bargaining for moving violations.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Virtual Decoy And Gunning Show TUCKERTON – The 38th Annual Old Time Barnegat Bay Decoy and Gunning Show will be virtual this year due to COVID-19. “This show is normally a two day event at Tip Seaman County Park in Tuckerton and it attracts thousands of people,” said Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, Chairwoman of the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation. As part of the online alternative to the 2020 show, the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation, on Sept. 27 will post the judging of award presentations for six of the key contests traditionally held as part of the show. Awards will be presented for: • Barnegat Bay Gunning Decoy Contest – Traditional Division • Barnegat Bay Gunning Decoy Contest – Contemporary Division • Delaware River Gunning Decoy Contest • Traditional Shorebird Decoy Contest • Youth Gunning Decoy Contest • Youth Shorebird Decoy Contest The contest rules can be found on the Parks Depar tment’s website: ocean-
countyparks.org. All entries must be registered by 10 a.m., Sept. 19. Judging will take place lakeside at Tip Seaman County Park. The contest venue will be open to judges and contestants registering carvings only. Other awards normally presented at the show will be folded into the 2021 show including the Hurley Conklin Award – the highlight of the award presentation - which is awarded to individuals who have lived their lives in the traditions preserved by the show. Traditionally the festival opens each day with skeet shooting. Competitions in carving, calling, retrieving and boat building fill the day, while music by Pinelands musicians is played at both the park and the nearby Tuckerton Seaport. The show usually attracts about 300 vendors that offer duck calls, sporting artwork, decorative carvings, model boats, guided hunt services, hunting dog supplies, and more. More details are available at OceanCountyParks.org or you can call 609971-3085.

Boats:
Continued From Page 1 “This is really, really big,” Stafford Township Councilman George Williams said. He helped Molla with many aspects of the parade. Following its start boaters cruised off north or south and their respective fleets grew in number along the way by hundreds of boats that joined in from arteries up and down the Jersey shore. It wasn’t a completely partisan event however, as Molla said Democrat presidential contender and former Vice President Joe Biden supporting boaters were also welcome to take part in the aquatic adventure. He noted the primary promoting point was to honor police officers and those who served and are serving in the American armed forces. “This isn’t necessarily a Trump parade. It is for law enforcement and our vets and everyone is welcome. You could fly a Biden flag or whatever flag you wanted to, so long as it shows respect for our police officers and our vets. We’ve had people say we love our law enforcement and our vets but I’m not a huge Trump fan, so I said ‘that’s okay, that’s fine, that is not a requirement,’” Molla said. He added, “I don’t like it when people say you are using them (vets and law enforcement) as a shield to have a Trump parade because that is not its purpose. I have family and friends who are cops and this is the least I can do.” Molla said the boat parade he organized two months ago on Independence Day “was thrown together on a whim. That event began originally when a Black Lives Matter march was scheduled Stafford and he wanted to have an event to “show support for our law enforcement as the same time as their protest.” By advice of some township officials, Molla opted to instead hold his event on a different date which led to the boat parade. “I felt the best way to show our support for our law enforcement and what is going on in the country was to organize a boat parade. I’m an avid boater and many of my friends are. That way we weren’t blocking roads, blocking bridges and we wouldn’t need police security,” he said. Molla started a Facebook page Jersey Shore LEO Support and Vets For Trump “because Trump supports our police so it goes hand in hand. I am a Trump supporter. It went from 250 to 600 to 1,500 boats. We had almost 3,500 by the day of the parade in a matter of three weeks.” He said approximately 1,200 boats showed up about 600 went north under the Mantoloking Bridge and 600 went south. “We picked up boats by Waretown and Forked River and all the areas and then we came up to the LBI bridge and there were 100 boats on the other side of the bridge and 100 people up on the bridge with flags.” “I shed a tear,” Molla said. “My wife said ‘are you crazy?’ and I said ‘yes.’ This is amazing. We have about 400 boats behind us and we have people on the bridge with American flags and Blue Line flags showing their support and love and there was no hate or animosity.” “The parade turned around at Morrison’s Marina in Beach Haven where the parade ended and there was about 250 people there with their houses decorated and these monster head boats honking and again a tear ran down
The Toms River Times, September 12, 2020, Page 15 my cheek,” he said. Were it officially verified, that 1,3000 figure could have easily beat the Guinness Book of World Records total of 1,180 vessels as the largest-ever boat parade, held in Malaysia in 2014. Molla said, “unfortunately, they never got back to us but I know we beat it.” Molla noted that other Labor Day weekend boat parades were also taking place including one held in West Palm Beach, Florida. That event ended at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. He wasn’t sure which parade had drawn the highest number. Boat parades have become a means for Trump supporters to express themselves across the country, including in New York City. “It was awesome,” Eileen Robbins said. She joined her husband, Lakehurst Mayor Harry Robbins. The mayor carried a Trump flag as the couple looked for the best spot to watch the massive parade on the Mathis Bridge in Seaside Heights/Toms River and to cheer on its participants. “It really was spectacular,” Mayor Robbins said. Kari Cordero, her boyfriend Ridge Dunlap and her young son Mark Muller III, traveled from Hanover Pennsylvania for the event in an RV painted with the theme of the American flag. Cordero is a campaign worker for Trump who said their RV was one of many that are traveling “all over the United States and campaigning real hard. We were very excited about it.” “We don’t get out of the area much so being out here supporting the big man and spreading the word was great. We just had the Trump train this past week so it has been real exciting,” Cordero added. The parade passed three major bridges. Those in Mantoloking, Seaside Heights, and Manahawkin. At the culmination of the parade, like the Independence Day event, boats docked in Beach Haven and “we patronized some of our local businesses. We stayed there, hung out and interacted with likeminded people,” Molla said. Watching from the Toms River bridge area venue was Karen Majewski of Toms River who said she enjoyed the parade and came out to watch it with a friend. “I am supportive of anything that is good for my country. I don’t think anyone in the opposite party has anyone who represents what America is.” “They want to make it something else and I don’t think there is a lot of people that are going to want that. We don’t want to be a socialist country. Let’s start getting along and get together as one people trying to make a living every day, go to work and have a family.” She said of recent criticism of the president including that of comments attributed to him insulting veterans that “instead of them doing what they are supposed to be doing they spend more time trying to get him out of office instead of passing good legislation. They’ll say no because he suggested it.” Majewski said she enjoyed the idea of a boat parade adding, “how can you not like a boat on the water on a hot summer day?” Molla thanked the strong support the event received from various Republican organizations in Ocean County. He also thanked the Coast Guard, State Police, as well as various local law enforcement agencies who were present to ensure safety.

5 Simple Ways To Boost Your Mood In These Crazy Times
Did you know that hearing health and mental health are closely linked? Untreated hearing loss increases our risk of depression, anxiety, social isolation, loneliness, and more. Here are some ways to boost your mood and find the light at the end of the tunnel. EXPRESS GRATITUDE - Gratitude improves happiness, well-being and mental health. The best researched method is keeping a gratitude journal. Once or twice a week, choose one act or person you’re grateful for and write a few sentences detailing why. In daily life, you’ll begin to seek out the positive – rather than the negative- and writing it down allows you to really savor that positive emotion. EXERCISE REGULARLY - Exercise increases endorphins, which relieve stress and boost your mood. You can even try small things that add more activity to your day, like skipping the elevator in favor of the stairs or taking a short, brisk walk. If you work from home, tackle chores that require you to walk to another room or – better yet-another floor. Aim
for 30 minutes a day. SPOIL YOUR SENSES - Use your senses to quickly fi nd calm. For some people, it’s an uplifting song or the smell of ground coffee. For others, its squeezing a stress ball. Each person’s relationship to their senses is a little different, so experiment to figure out what works best for you. LOSE YOURSELF - Doing something you love, something you know you can lose yourself in, allows you to forget about life for a while. You don’t have to be a parent, a spouse, or an employee –you can just be. FIND A FURRY FRIEND - Interacting with a pet lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) and raises oxytocin (the feel-good hormone). It also lowers blood pressure and eases loneliness and depression. Don’t have a pet? Walk a friend’s dog, volunteer to cat-sit for a vacationing neighbor or volunteer at a shelter. Dr. Izzy and his Staff are always here to answer your questions about hearing care issues.
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!

Hand Sanitizers: What To Buy And What To Avoid By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
As the country has opened up these past few months, I find myself carrying hand sanitizer with me. Hand sanitizers are a must if you travel because they quickly eliminate 99.9% of germs (at least the ones tested!) and you can carry these in your purse, or pocket, and keep in the car. With the pandemic this year, hand sanitizers became instantly essential. A lot of sanitizers are capable of destroying certain pneumonia and influenza strains, E. coli and MRSA in seconds. There’s a reason sanitizers sell like hotcakes, but please be careful because some opportunistic business folks are now making a killing at your expense. They’re formulating toxic garbage at home, and then selling it online to people. You cannot trust everything available right now. On August 27, the Food and Drug Administration issued a new warning to consumers to make sure that we do not buy or use any hand sanitizers that contain “methanol� or “1-propanol.� Today, I’ll list some of the safest commercial hand sanitizers on the market. Some of them are sprays, others are wipes, and so on. I’ve based my list below on the famous organization called EWG Skin Deep. They have a website by that name too. As to where you can purchase any of these, I’d suggest looking online, or asking your local health food store manager. Here are my favorites: Hero Wipes - These have alcohol and aloe in them, plus more. Each wipe is individually wrapped in a pouch to keep it sterile. They
are pretty resilient if you are vigorous with them. Elyptol Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer These come in wipes, gel and spray, so you can pick. As you may have guessed from its name, the product boasts the use of natural eucalyptus, which reduces risk of contact dermatitis and provides a broad range of ‘kill’ properties. Everyone Peppermint Citrus Hand Sanitizer - There are other scents aside from that one, but this brand offers another option utilizing alcohol (derived from non-GMO sugar cane), with aloe and glycerin so it won’t feel as drying. Organic to Green Lavender Lemon - This contains some alcohol along with glycerin, organic coconut, lavender and lemon peel oil. When I read the natural, but powerful ingredient list, I was jealous I hadn’t thought of this formula myself, lol. Dr. Bronner’s Lavender Hand Sanitizer - Another awesome product and sold widely in health food stores, this brand utilizes the strength of Fair-Trade ethanol along with organic peppermint oil and glycerin. EO Hand Sanitizer Spray or Wipes - This is an easy-to-find brand that is great because it uses alcohol (sourced from non-GMO sugar cane), plus lavender essential oil, Echinacea herb (an antibacterial), and some glycerin. Grove Collaborative Blood Orange Sanitizer - This product utilizes ethanol plus aloe, orange oil, coconut and sunflower seed oil, plus jojoba. This is an awesome combination, and one that will leave your hands feeling nourished. It also comes in lavender.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Monmouth, Ocean Officials Seek Representation On State BPU By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY - Leaders from Monmouth and Ocean counties joined forces to petition the state to provide representation from the shore area on the State Board of Public Utilities. Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari and Monmouth County Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone announced that they will work together to get a qualified candidate onto the BPU representing the Jersey shore. Vicari said, “without a voice on this utility regulatory board we face an uphill battle with the power companies in getting help for residents, whether it be from Tropical Storm Isaias which hit Aug. 4, other coastal storms or failures on the part of the utility companies.” “As Jersey shore counties, we pump a great deal of dollars into the economy from tourism revenues,” Vicari added. “Lengthy power outages as we just saw hurt tourism which is an economic engine for both Monmouth and Ocean counties. Power outages also cause great concern for our large senior communities and our hard
working families,” Vicari said. He added, “these are people that are either on a fixed income or a salary that doesn’t allow extra money to replace food and prescriptions spoiled by power outages.” Arnone and Vicari agreed that coastal counties like Monmouth and Ocean have unique characteristics that the current members of the BPU are not as familiar with as a resident of one of these counties would be. Arnone said, “Monmouth and Ocean counties have everything from farmlands to dense downtowns to beach towns - all of which serve as tourism destinations and so we understand the effects of power outages on a much broader scale than some other counties.” “Our counties heavily rely on tourism revenue, which is directly impacted by power outages. Our restaurants alone account for more than 20 percent of tourism revenue and when there are lengthy power outages, these restaurants are forced to throw away thousands of dollars of food on top of all of the revenue lost from having to keep their doors closed to thousands of visitors,” Arnone added.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Basics
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Christopher R. Shea, Esq.and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered. In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven (7) days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to seventy percent (70%) of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner. Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury. This process progresses after your physician has returned you to gainful employment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you may be entitled to total disability benefits.
The questions often arises, “What happens Christopher R. Shea Esq. if I am injured during the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Jersey. Although, as a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury. Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment as if an employee. In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Huntington’s Disease Society To Host Virtual Walk
By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – The Huntington’s Disease Society of America’s (HDSA) New Jersey Chapter will be hosting the New Jersey Virtual Team Hope Walk throughout September with a closing ceremony on October 3. Huntington’s disease is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It deteriorates a person’s physical and mental abilities usually during their prime working years and has no cure. Every child of a parent with HD has a 50/50 chance of inheriting the faulty gene that causes the disease. Today, there are approximately 40,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at risk of inheriting the disease. Huntington’s disease is described as having ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s – simultaneously. HD is characterized by a triad of symptoms, including progressive motor dysfunction, behavioral disturbance and cognitive decline. The Huntington’s Disease Society of America is the premier not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by Huntington’s disease. HDSA Communications Coordinator Matthew Santamaria said “Team Hope is HDSA’s largest national grassroots fundraising event. Thousands of families, friends, co-workers, neighbors and communities walk together each year to support HDSA’s fight to improve the lives of people affected by Huntington’s disease (HD) and their families.� “A virtual walk is a real walk, but on your terms: You get to choose your own course, you can walk in your driveway, neighborhood, in your house and even on treadmill! HD is a fatal genetic disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain. In New Jersey, the total HD population is more than 8,000,� he added. To start the process, register for the New Jersey Virtual Team Hope Walk and Run. It is free to register. Set your fundraising goal and begin making a difference in the lives of HD families. Recruit a team of friends, neighbors,
NOW OPEN!
and family to participate with you. The second step is whether you walk around the block, the neighborhood or do a 1kilometer run up and down your street when, where and how far you walk is up to you. The third step is when you individually raise your first $100, you’ll receive a Team Hope Walk t-shirt that will be mailed to you. For this year just wear last year’s shirt or make your own. Keep raising funds to be eligible for even more rewards. Participants are urged to share a photo of themself and use #VirtualTeamHopeWalk to let the organization know where you are walking for HDSA. You can also tag us @ HDSA on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. Team Hope Walks aim to raise as much money possible in the local community to support the mission and services of the Huntington’s Disease Society of America. There are many different fundraising strategies you may use to have a successful fundraising campaign, and HDSA suggests that walkers use them all. To download the Team Hope Walk Participant Packet visit newjersey.hdsa.org/ about/2020-new-jersey-team-hope-walk. If your company is interested in sponsoring the walk, e-mail teamhope@hdsa.org.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee
By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides. Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology.
After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the office, often during your initial visit! “We’re very conservative,” Dr. Amoss assures future patients. “I’m surgically trained but I only like to perform surgery when all other conservative means
One of Advanced Foot & Ankle locations is 601 Route 37 West, Suite 300 in Toms River (in front of the Ocean Eye Institute)
have been exhausted. It’s going to be painless.” He makes that possible by developing treatment plans for each specific patient. Rest assured, Advanced Foot & Ankle is fully equipped to do so as soon as you come in. Both offices have digital X-rays so they can almost instantly see what’s going on and review it with the patient. They also have a diagnostic ultrasound to diagnose soft tissue conditions, as well as a laser for treatment of pain and neuropathy, a painful nerve condition caused by diabetes and other issues. They even offer MicroVas therapy, which gives much needed relief to patients with high levels of diabetic neuropathy, as well as vascular or PAD testing. In addition to the most cutting edge podiatric technology, Advanced Foot & Ankle has professional-grade consumer products you need for immediate relief. They offer a great selection of diabetic shoes, for example, One of Advanced Foot & Ankle locations is 601 Route 37 West, as well as custom - made 400 Lacey Road in Whiting (in the Stop and Shop Shopping orthotics which provide arch Center) support and help correct the
imbalance in patients’ feet. Advanced Foot & Ankle accepts most insurance plans. (Medicare covers one pair of diabetic shoes per year!) By having strategically-located offices, an experienced and focused staff, and tons of treatment methods and equipment at his disposal, Dr. Amoss is able to easily achieve his goal of getting you fast comfort and relief. When it comes to diseases like melanoma, for example, speed is absolutely critical. The most deadly form of skin cancer, melanoma has an especially poor prognosis on the foot because it often goes unnoticed for a long time. Dr. Amoss diagnosed several of these cases last year, which probably saved those patients’ lives. But sometimes conditions aren’t as complicated as much as some of the larger podiatrist offices try to let on. Dr. Amoss remembers one recent patient who came in after being with one such practice. “These eight doctors had exhausted all treatment options for this individual in pain,” he said. After years of getting the runaround, they told him there was noth-
ing they could do. The patient came limping into Advanced Foot & Ankle with what Dr. Amoss diagnosed in a matter of minutes as a simple corn on the tip of his toe. “We gave him a customized foot pad which helped him tremendously, and by the next day he came in to thank us and tell us how much better he was doing,” Dr. Amoss said. “He couldn’t believe he waited and wasted several years with this other group of doctors.” At Advanced Foot & Ankle, you’ll get fast and customized treatment from a doctor you can trust. Give them a call today at 732-350-0100 and their very accommodating staff will be able to make an appointment for you with Dr. Amoss right away. And as the “urgent care of the lower extremity,” emergency app oint ment s are also available. Advanced Foot & Ankle is located at 400 Lacey Road in Whiting (in the Stop and Shop Shopping Center) and 601 Route 37 West, Suite 300 in Toms River (in front of the Ocean Eye Institute).

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can engage in an acceptable level of self-promotion during the first half of the upcoming week. As the week unfolds, however, be careful not to give people the wrong impression or become overconfident in your abilities. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be disappointed if you don’t receive attention and applause from admirers. If you concentrate on doing a good job at work and follow guidelines for your health, you’ll make progress in the week to come. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your business sense is heightened, so you can successfully discuss finances with a partner. Pursuing some of your fantasies might prove disappointing, or hobbies and entertainments could fall flat in the upcoming week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take time to investigate the pros and cons. In the week ahead, try not to start anything unless you are properly prepared. Dig in and do your due diligence if you’re presented with a new opportunity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Put your best foot forward with whatever you begin and you will enjoy a profitable experience. You can trust your instincts about money in the early part of the week, but be cautious about news and gossip. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Expand your ability to be in charge as the week unfolds. Your reputation may be enhanced by a loyal and loving partner and by your willingness to commit yourself to projects and people for the long haul.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep your eye on the ball and your expectations within the realm of reality. Do your best to clarify your feelings, but be patient if you don’t feel completely understood. If in doubt, ask pertinent questions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Through dedication and persistence you can achieve your most meaningful dreams. Depend on other people for some things, but if those people become unpredictable, it may be time to make your own decisions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might be at your best when you can speak freely and ad-lib. Keep company with people who welcome your opinions. In the week ahead, guard your savings and avoid making major purchases. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Fortitude can be the best attitude. If your expectations are so high that reality can never live up to them, consider a reboot. In the week to come, you may be easily distracted by things that aren’t as good as they appear. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Enjoy your abundance and don’t feel responsible for someone who asks for a handout. During the upcoming week you can use your street smarts without being callous or heartless. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are motivated to get joint projects off the ground. In the week ahead, someone might press you to spend money on something that appears too good to be true. You should wait before making a decision.
