By Bob Vosseller WHITING – It was a perfect autumn day for a flea market. Visitors and residents of Crestwood Village IV in Manchester Township’s Whiting section came out in droves to browse, find that special treasure and just say hi to their neighbors. The senior community has hosted monthly flea markets throughout the year at their club house
parking lot. They feature refreshments such as coffee, tea, baked goods and as many as 15 vendors have been known to show off their wares which range from crafts, jewelry, toys, DVDs, books, clothes and a variety of other items. A few hundred people may have come out to this month’s flea market which might be the last until spring according
to the market’s coordinator Joann McKeon. “It is just so nice to get out.” “At our normal flea market, we have 52 vendors because we would normally have it inside the club house as well as outside,” she added. The trustees of Crestwood Village IV host the f lea market and shoppers and vendors were sporting protective masks and observ-
ing social distancing per the guidelines for the COVID-19 pandemic. “I organize it but we have between 10 or 12 people who help out and volunteer,” McKeon said. She added that Crestwood Village IV keeps busy a nd has been active throughout the pandemic in the ways it could. For example, (Market - See Page 7)
Trump Rally Takes To The Road
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – The Tr u mp Trai n had a stop in Ocean County. Many were ready to roll in support of Donald Trump as part of a car parade which l a u n che d f r om t he parking lot of the BJ’s store in the township through Route 37 east. It was similar to the
huge boat parade that was held on Labor Day weekend supporting the president’s reelection bid and in support of law enforcement that f illed Bar negat Bay. Instead of boats, it was cars, and the parking lot of BJ’s resembled a sea of red, white and blue as well as some pink Women
of Trump f lags as vehicles of all shapes, sizes and models and a number of motorcycles lined up for a mobile rally. There were a number of vendors hawking Trump banners, flags, T-shirts, stickers and all manner of Trump merchandise. Toninn Comello of
Jackson organized the event which was a bit of a sequel to the prior week’s Monmouth County Trump Road Rally which featured a large vehicle parade of cars decorated with flags, banners, Trump faces and other items. “This is a continuation of that parade. I did that one as well.
L a s t we e k we h a d 500 vehicles and it look s li ke we have 600 vehicles. We are going down 37 east going over the bridge into Seaside then back and down to Fischer Boulevard going all the way up to Hooper Avenue and then to Route 70.” (Trump - See Page 10)

Italian-American Heritage Recognized During Seaside Heights Event
By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Normally Sherman Avenue up to the boardwalk would be lined with vendor booths and a tent would have housed patrons listening to music and enjoying Italian sausage sandwiches and cannolis, but thanks to the ongoing pandemic, things were different this year. An Italian-American heritage celebration was held in its place. The Knights of Columbus Color Guard posted the colors and the Juke Box Legends sang during the day’s program. Various Italian heritage organizations were recognized during the day including the Seaside Heights Italian-American Club, the Greenbriar Oceanaire Italian-American Social Club of Waretown, the Lacey Italian-American Club Social Club, and the Point Pleasant and Brick Unizo Clubs. While the music of the American and Italian national anthems played, one elderly Italian woman in the crown could be heard singing the words to the Italian anthem without missing a beat. Sandy Rosenberg and Kelly Barrett of Toms River were among the early arrivals who were enjoying the music and waving the small Italian flags that were given out by members of the parade committee. “Wherever there is music we go to,” Barrett said. While the festivities that included musical performances by the Metropolitan Festival Band started around 11 a.m., the presentations started around noon. Officials took to the boardwalk stage, including Ocean County Columbus Day Parade and Italian Heritage Festival Committee Chairman Michael Blandina, three local mayors, Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari plus various volunteers of the parade committee. Blandina teared up as he dedicated the program, a substitute to the usual Ocean County Columbus Day Parade and Italian Festival, in the name of his father Anthony who passed away earlier in the year. He thanked the (Italian - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 Metropolitan Festival Band for its years of performances during the 29-year old parade/festival history and for coming out for this event. “I want to thank them for joining us in celebrating our national holiday, Columbus Day.” Prior to the stage presentation a procession of decorated vehicles featuring the mayors of Berkeley, Brick, Toms River townships and Seaside Heights was held: Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato, Brick Mayor John Ducey and Seaside Heights Mayor Anthony Vaz. Toms River Mayor Maurice “Mo” Hill was part of the procession but could not be part of the later program on stage. John Giavatto of Lakewood heads the International Relations sub-committee of the parade. He reviewed some of the history of the event and of Christopher Columbus himself. His committee brings performers from Italy for the Italian-Heritage Festival each year. “Columbus Day is a national US holiday that commemorates the discovery of the new world in 1492. It did not become a federal holiday until 1937 proclaimed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It is a celebration of the contribution of Italian immigrants to this beautiful country, the United States of America,” Giavatto said. “We will be back next year stronger than before because of our unity, support of our future events in 2021,” Giavatto added. “I want to thank those towns that partic-
ipated this morning especially the police departments who did a phenomenal job in that procession. We went from Berkeley Township to Toms River, to Brick and then we headed down here to Seaside Heights,” Blandina said. Mayor Amato remarked, “We presented a proclamation to Michael earlier today. I am a very proud Italian-American and we should be proud of our Italian heritage. Unfortunately, our heritage is under attack which is not right. Christopher Columbus, founder of America established the root to a national holiday and we are all proud of what we accomplished. Columbus Day is a holiday that should be recognized forever.” “I was talking to someone before and they said it is sad that you couldn’t have the parade but I think it would be sad if we didn’t have anything. I want to thank Michael for putting this together. This is really important. I’m Irish and March is mostly my month but congratulations and have a wonderful Columbus Day and a wonderful heritage month during October,” Mayor Ducey said. Mayor Vaz said, “Imagine living in 1492 when Europeans weren’t known to the new world, the legacy of Columbus to find a new continent. It was like us putting a man on the moon in 1969. Columbus was a controversial figure and yet contributed greatly to his country and to fostering our Italian culture.” Freeholder Director Vicari noted recent events of statues of Columbus being removed and vandalized in areas of the country. “All over the United States they
want to change history. They are taking down statutes. They are decapitating him. This is the land of the free and home of the brave unless you are an Italian-American.” “I appreciate Michael Blandina and this organization for holding this ceremony where we have made it loud and clear enough is enough. When is it going to stop?” Vicari asked noting his own Italian heritage. New Jersey Italian-American Heritage Commission Chairman Robert DiBiase echoed some of the sentiments expressed saying, “in these times, we are experiencing a rebellion against the Admiral of the seas. There is so much disinformation and propaganda maligning Columbus, causing his statues to be vandalized and torn down. From coast to coast the headlines have been difficult for Italian Americans to believe.
We ask ourselves, why? You know why, “revisionists” using falsehoods to advance their own agenda.” He said the NJIC was working with various Italian-American organizations such as the Italian American One Voice Coalition to restore the statues. “This is happening right here in cities across New Jersey, even Trenton our capital. In most cases these monuments were paid for and donated by Italians. Columbus opened the door to western civilization by bridging continents.” Christopher Columbus has been the subject of criticism by historians and others who have stated he treated ingenious people cruelly and forced labor upon them. Some cities have cancelled Columbus Day Parades and have changed the names of monuments, buildings and streets that bore his name.

Continued From Page 1 there is a fitness club on Monday and Friday, Elizabeth Hallar said. Hallar works to bring awareness of those activities to residents and the public. “We are doing a corn hole event on Thursday night and are president ordered pickle ball stuff which came but we haven’t set it up yet so we will have pickle ball,” Hallar added. “We’ve arranged for outdoor meetings. According to our bylaws we have to hold two meetings during the year and we did them both outside. We are doing a meet the candidates (for offices in Crestwood Village) with a different format. We are doing it in person. We are having people coming in groups of 10. We can only allow 25 people maximum in our hall,” McKeon said. McKeon said, “we are going to have our candidates up front and instead of doing their two-minute spiel they will have it on paper in a packet while the people are waiting in line. They will read what the speeches will be so they don’t waste time and they will bring those 10 people in to ask their questions and then another 10 people will come in.” “It is a huge thing,” Hallar said noting the board races this year were very interesting. It was noted that cards and games is also part of the Village’s Monday night activities plus an internet café which is almost ready to start. “People from the other (Crestwood) villages say to us how come you guys can do things
The Manchester Times, October 17, 2020, Page 7 and we can’t and we tell them get after your trustees and get out of the cage,” Hallar said. “We pride ourselves in that we didn’t lay off one staff person. We didn’t reduce any salaries. We reduced ours and we issued people laptops so they could work remotely if they chose to. We had reduced hours but they overlapped. We just did things differently,” McKeon said. “The mayor told us whatever you guys are doing keep it going. We should use you as a model,” McKeon said. “We social distance and we set up everything in the hall and everyone else has to wait in the lobby. We kept it going. We worked hard to keep the village open.” Within the Crestwood Village IV tent which featured the village’s concession of coffee, tea bagels and baked goods was a pair of seeing eye dogs who sat beside McKeon. “I’m a puppy raiser for the seeing eye organization. This is my fourth. These are my grand puppies I raised their mom and dad.” She added, “the trustees voted to allow me to bring them into the clubhouse while I am here working. They sit under the desk and they know how to behave. You get to teach between seven weeks to 16 months to teach them basic obedience, house manners and socialization.” “Things like how they act when they go into a restaurant and after 16 months, they go back to the seeing eye group and they put them in the harness and teach them the guide work and they match them up with a blind person and it is a perfect match. It is a lot of fun but a lot of work and all volunteer,” McKeon said.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL The Real Reasons For Televised Debates We recently just had the fi rst (and possibly only) presidential debate for the 2020 election. We also just recently had the only vice presidential debate for 2020 (which also might wind up being the fi rst presidential debate of 2024 since both of those people could wind up winning primaries in four years). Did you learn anything from those debates? Were you an undecided voter before that? Chances are, you answered “no” to both of those questions. Maybe at one time, debates were used to hash out the differences bet ween candidates, but these days they are as different as can be. Moderators give a candidate two minutes (unless they go over) to talk about their plans on a given topic. But there isn’t a single topic that can be summed up in two minutes. Global economics. St r uggles in the Middle East. Vulnerabilities in our election system. Racial divides. Immigration. These are all very complex issues that need more than a two-minute answer. But, since they have two minutes, they give you
the short, short version. They give you slogans. They give you lies. They give you a sound bite. They give you something that can turn into a meme on Facebook for 1-4 days after. So, that is the fi rst reason for debates. Politicians use them to reinforce the lies they have been telling you already. It is free advertising for them. There is nothing of substance in these debates. What you do learn, somewhat, is character. You get to see what the candidate acts like under pressure. The camera zooms in on every facial tic and bit of body language that they can’t hide. You get to see what they’d be like addressing our nation – or another nation abroad. So, that’s one thing they are good for. And finally, the most important reason for debates: advertising revenue. Let’s face it, the debate is good TV. There’s fighting. There’s drama. There’s emotion. It’s like a reality show. People tune in for that and the television station rakes in the money. Chris Lundy News Editor

Letters To The Editor Martin Weber – A True Conservative The best politician is someone who never expected to be one. That’s Marty Weber. A veteran and a south Jersey business owner who – like the rest of us – has gotten so fed up with the way things are that he threw his hat in the ring. He wants term limits, so you know he wants to just get in there, do what needs to be done, and get out. He’s not looking to live off the dole forever like politicians. He also wants term limits for federal judges. I didn’t even know federal judges had lifetime appointments. As a U.S. Army vet, he wants to reform the veteran care in this country. Our men and women fought for us and he’s going to fight for them. He’s running as an independent, but he’s a better conservative than David Richter, who never had a job that his daddy didn’t give him and who’s just going to raise our taxes. Weber wants tax reform, and to bring common sense to Washington. I want to send him to Washington to help all of us in the 3rd District. W. Smith Berkeley
Smith Has Always Helped Us As 9/11 widows known as “The Jersey Girls,” we have spent 19 years fighting for truth, justice, transparency and accountability with regard to the murder of our husbands. In December of 2001, we found ourselves in Congressman Chris Smith’s office. As our meeting with him progressed, we knew we had come to the right place. Congressman Smith gave us a road map for how to navigate Congress to accomplish our goals, he also held our hands and walked us through … every step of the way. For nineteen years he has been our guide and mentor helping us decipher the maze of D.C. He has supported us and our issues - even when it cost him politically and
personally for going against party lines. Congressman Smith actually does what ALL our elected officials should do - help the people you are sent to D.C. to represent and make the world a better place. He is truly one of the good guys in DC. We have personally witnessed Chris Smith’s commitment to his constituents and his tireless efforts on human rights issues. His work has made the world a more humane place. We cannot think of a better person to represent New Jersey’s 4th District in Congress. We are truly lucky to have him! Mindy Kleinberg Lorie Van Auken Kristen Breitweiser
NJ Organizing Project Endorses Kim The NJ Organizing Project was born out of desperation by Superstorm Sandy survivors who were trapped in a failed recovery system, beleaguered, and on the verge of losing everything. Our ears burned as elected officials told us how well the recovery was going, while those with boots on the ground knew the real story and struggle. Individual cries for help went unheard. It wasn’t until Sandy-impacted families organized and created the NJOP in 2014 that real change began to happen in our communities. That change happened because we built community power. We worked diligently to earn the trust of both families struggling and the officials elected or appointed to serve them. We avoided party affiliation and have been careful to not align ourselves too closely with any single political figure. Indeed, in the entire history of the New Jersey Organizing Project, we have only made one endorsement for election - until now. After much discussion and input from our members, we are proud to announce our first congressional endorsement - Congressman Andy Kim for New Jersey’s Congressional District 3. Our core belief is that those most impacted by a problem are the experts and be-
long at the table fighting for solutions. We have always sought to engage and build relationships with legislators who value the insights and solutions that grassroots organizations bring to the table. Legislators who share our values and a willingness to co-govern with engaged citizens are rare and worth standing up and speaking out for. Andy Kim’s platform and beliefs align with the foundation of NJOP’s values of helping working class NJ families improve the quality of their lives. These include, but are not limited to, economic recovery from the COVID crisis, protecting the environment, better support for America’s veterans, and continued recovery for Sandy victims who are still struggling 8 years after the storm. Andy’s support for adequate health care for all Americans is a critical pillar of NJOP’s economic security and dignity initiative. Furthermore, his tireless work to seek solutions to the opioid crisis that is decimating our communities is vital to the wellbeing of NJ families. We have carefully observed Congressman Kim during his first term of office and have determined that he does in fact, “walk the walk” by following through on his campaign promises. We are further encouraged by his willingness to set divisive party politics aside and reach across the aisle to work with other elected officials who are truly committed to improving the lives of our citizens. It is our hope that you share our vision for a better New Jersey: one with an equitable share of prosperity for all citizens and compassion for our state’s most vulnerable residents. It is our hope that you see, as we do, that Andy Kim is the leader most able to help make that vision a reality. Thank you for all you do and don’t forget to vote, Joe Mangino and Doug Quinn New Jersey Organizing Project
Letters To Th Why Commit A Sin To Atone For A Sin? Oct. 3rd, The Jackson Times reported that animal sacrifices are taking place in Ocean County. The practice revolves around the religious ritual known as Kaporos, where Jewish Orthodox men sacrifice chickens supposedly to “cleanse the practitioner of his sins.” The ceremony entails grabbing a chicken, by the neck, then twirling the bird around your head three times, and according to Rabbi Avi Schnall – “we take the chicken and say a prayer, ‘let this chicken be an atonement for me’….” The hapless fowl is then eventually dispatched by separating its head from its body with a knife. The rabbi stated that “the ceremony is more symbolic and a tradition that dates back many hundreds of years….” Ringing a chicken’s neck till it expires is not symbolic! nor is the “tradition” claim valid. At one time in this country slavery was a “tradition.” An American humanist summed up the practice of animal sacrifice well: “It is difficult to think of anything more utterly absurd and barbaric, than the religious practice of animal sacrifice to atone for a supposed wrong. A man commits a wrong and then to atone, sacrifices a chicken. His offense remains. He need not kill something. Let him correct his misdeed and live an honorable life…and let the innocent animal alone. There is no sense in sacrifice, never was and never will be. Make amends, undo the wrong, and you need shed no blood.” It’s hard to believe in the 21st century, any human being possessing a brain and a heart, would willingly participate in such an ignominious Bronze Age practice. The religious sacrifice of nature’s yardbirds is disgraceful and offensive display of animal cruelty. Common decency, at the very least, is a compelling reason why this appalling practice should be outlawed. Borden Applegate Jackson

From The Desk Of Governor Murphy: $500 Million Available In School Projects
TRENTON – The Murphy Administration announced the availability of grant applications for school security, water infrastructure improvements, and enhancement of career and technical education in county vocational-technical school districts and county colleges in New Jersey. The grants are supported by $500 million in bonds authorized by the Securing Our Children’s Future Bond Act (Act), and approved by New Jersey voters in November 2018. “Investing in our students’ future is an essential part of building a stronger and fairer New Jersey,” said Governor Murphy. “From critical school security measures to necessary career and technical education training, this new funding will further strengthen our efforts to ensure that students across our state are equipped with the tools and support they need to succeed.” “New Jersey students win twice through these initiatives,” said Interim Education Commissioner Kevin Dehmer. “The funding will help ensure students throughout the state are provided a safe and secure learning environment, and it will also provide countless students with greater opportunities for success both during and after high school.” “One of the goals of our State Plan for Higher Education is for every student to have high-quality, career-relevant academic programs that prepare them for success,” said Interim Secretary of Higher Education Diana Gonzalez. “These campus upgrades will enhance students’ access to experiential
learning opportunities and equip them with in-demand skills needed to compete in New Jersey’s innovation economy.” “Funding from the Securing Our Children’s Future Bond Act will provide critical funding for our vocational-technical high schools and county colleges to expand their programs, giving our students increased opportunities for good-paying jobs and providing our industries with the technical-skilled workers they need,” said Senate President Steve Sweeney. “It also provides critical funding for programs to improve security and remove lead contamination for our schools. This landmark legislative initiative will create jobs and provide important stimulus to help our economy rebound from the recession caused by the coronavirus.” The economic viability and competitiveness of New Jersey is inextricably linked to the strengths and skills of the state’s current and future workforce,” said Assemblyman Daniel Benson. “The Securing Our Futures Bond Act will make the necessary investments in career and technical education programs will help us maintain current and attract new high-demand industries that are the engine of economic growth.” “We are on the path to better aligning our education system, especially our high schools and county colleges, with the needs of our economy in order to equip more students with the skills they will need to take advantage of career opportunities in high-demand, high-growth fields,” said Assemblyman John (Government - See Page 24)

Awaiting the start of the road rally parade were Donna Rausa of Whiting and Arlene D’Ambrosia of Toms River holding their Blue Line American f lags in support of police. “I am of a one-track mind in that I do not listen at all to the Democrats, liberal adversaries because they sing and scream the same information. This
is a shot in the arm and feeds our brain and our hearts like nothing else can,” Rausa said. The ladies lear ned about the page from a pro-Tr ump/Law Enforcement/ Veterans Facebook page. “I am 73 years old, this has been the best president who has done the most for the American people that I have seen in my lifetime and I was a big fan of Ronald Regan but Tr ump seems to

She spor ted a shir t which she f irst wore during the 2016 election and updated with a sticker replacing that year with 2020. She held up a sign she made that stated “Seniors For Tr ump.” The vehicle she rode in featured a Tr ump bear. “There has to be 500 or a thousand people here tod ay,” Joh n Longo of Beachwood said. He noted that the crowd at this event dwarfed the tur nout of the Biden rally of last week and the one held earlier in the day in South Toms River. Helena Cohen who is currently living in Manchester not only donned a red Trump cap and shirt but wore a button featuring Trump and First Lady Melania Tr ump. Her SUV had a f lag with a Confederate f lag conf iguration that bore a rif le that states “Come Take It From Us” in the front of her vehicle and another Tr ump f lag f lying from the back. She said Tr ump’s actions have been good for her family. “I don’t know him personally but he works from the soul. He has helped me so much for someone I’ve never met.” She said while some may feel the president doesn’t receive a lot of suppor t f rom t hose of t he Af r ican A mer ican com mu nit y such as herself, “President Tr ump doesn’t have a racist bone in his body.” She said financial programs initiated by Tr ump served to help her pay her mortgage and said the president was on her Facebook page and assisted w i t h h e r h u s b a n d’s m e d i c a l b i l l s through a veteran’s program. Supporters were also lined up at various areas along Route 37 and Hooper Avenue to cheer on the parade and many had their ow n f lags, ban ners and sported similar Tr ump shirts and waved Blue Line f lags at their cheering positions.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE NJOHSP Promotes Cyber Safety For Cybersecurity Awareness Month
TRENTON – The New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP) reaffirmed its commitment to keep the State cyber safe after Governor Phil Murphy proclaimed October as Cybersecurity Awareness Month. NJOHSP and its cyber division, the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell (NJCCIC), are also participating in National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM). “As many of our daily routines have transitioned online, it has become more important than ever to strengthen our defenses against malicious cyber activity,” said Governor Murphy. “My administration remains committed to securing New Jersey’s vast technological resources that keep our communities fully operational. As the State’s lead agency for cybersecurity, NJOHSP offers several tools to help residents, schools, and businesses shore up their vulnerabilities so they can thwart the latest threats and stay connected.” Throughout the month, NJOHSP and the NJCCIC will promote best practices alongside partners in the private and public sectors to increase awareness of cyber threats and provide information about how to stay safe online. “This year has demonstrated the critical role of technology in maintaining normality during a crisis. The increased dependence on online resources and information requires greater cybersecurity awareness,” said Jared M. Maples, Director of the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness. “The mission of both NJOHSP and the NJCCIC has always been to protect the juncture where physical security and cybersecurity meet, and we maintain that goal this month and beyond.” The NJCCIC continues to expand its influence and impact on the cybersecurity
landscape with a growing membership that currently consists of nearly 11,000 members in 45 states, the District of Columbia, and 50 countries. The NJCCIC contributes to preparedness and response efforts surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, especially as more people have shifted to work-from-home and remote learning environments. Through its updated website and social media platforms, the NJCCIC informs the public of cyber threats and provides guidance on how to avoid and defend against these threats. NJOHSP similarly warns New Jersey residents and visitors of misinformation and disinformation campaigns, specifically those spread online in relation to the pandemic, civil unrest, and the upcoming Presidential election. “Technology has become an increased necessity in our daily lives and has allowed us to continue working, learning, and staying in touch with loved ones, all while being remote,” said Michael Geraghty, Director of the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell. “As such, we each play a crucial role in strengthening our cyber resiliency to continue using technology in a secure way and to prevent cyber incidents. Do your part, #BeCyberSmart.” The NJCCIC developed cybersecurity guides and best practices that can help residents and organizations become more cyber resilient and keep devices secure at work, home, and school. NCSAM is a nationwide initiative that continues to raise awareness regarding the importance of cybersecurity in America, ensuring that all people are prepared with the tools and resources they need to be safe and secure online.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE HOPE Sheds Light Unveils Recovery Program
TOMS RIVER – HOPE Sheds Light, a family-focused Toms River-based non-profit organization offering education, resources, support and hope to anyone impacted by substance use disorder, has unveiled its newest initiative, Recovery Speaks: Embracing the Journey. This 12-month program will help celebrate recovery and reduce the stigma surrounding substance use disorder. “Join us in lifting the voices of those affected by substance use disorder,” said Pamela Capaci, CEO of HOPE Sheds Light. “We really want to bring the entire community together in order to support and celebrate our friends and families directly impacted by addiction.” Recovery Speaks: Embracing the Journey will highlight three recovery day events from now through 2021. All events are free to attend. Gregory Andrus from Portraits of the Jersey Shore and Chris Capaci of Capacity Images have partnered with HOPE Sheds Light to meet with attendees at these events to capture photographs and videos throughout the year. Andrus will create a special photobook on Portraits of Recovery at the Jersey Shore. Chris will memorialize the year in a mini-documentary that will capture the year-long effort and will be highlighted at the 2021 NJ Recovery Film
Festival. Looking to the Future, HOPE Sheds light will also host a Recovery Rally/Family BBQ and Pop-up Drive-in event early 2021. The Recovery Rally will feature onsite vendors and an open mic. The outdoor event will also highlight a bonfire, singing, poetry readings, games, giveaways and food from local vendors. “The goal is for people to share their experience, strength and hope with each other,” said Capaci. HOPE Sheds Light will host its Pop-up Drive-in movie night in late Spring 2021. The family-friendly event will promote recovery through the movie, “Inside Out”. Attendees will receive movie snacks, as well as recovery supports and treatment information. COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines related to social distancing will apply to all events. The year-long initiative will culminate in 2021 with a Share Your Stories event, in partnership with Ocean County, where the pictorial book and mini-documentary will be formally unveiled. “We hope you will join us throughout this initiative to share your stories of hope, provide inspiration and be a part of a movement to celebrate those in recovery,” said Pamela Capaci. “You can make a difference and we can do it together.”

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE $1.5 Million Granted To Aid Ocean County Senior Citizens
By Alyssa Riccardi OCEAN COUNTY – A $1.5 million federal CARES grant was donated to help aid senior citizens during the continuing COVID-19 crisis. The fund gives more than 100,000 additional home-delivered meals to senior citizens as well as other services ranging from caregiver support to transportation. “The ongoing pandemic has been devastating to our senior communities,” said Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari, liaison to the Office of Senior Services. “Besides the physical threat of contracting the illness, many of our seniors have been dealing with stress and other psychological issues, including loneliness.”
About 150,000 home delivered meals or emergency shelf stable meals were given to seniors from April 1 to Aug. 31, that being an increase of almost 40,000 from the same period in 2019. “We saw a 30 percent increase in meals delivered and a 50 percent increase in new clients from 2019,” Vicari said. “This grant will allow us to deliver an additional 100,000 meals.” An additional $366,000 is designated for a variety of community support services, including $75,000 for the Food Shopping Program. The newly created program with Jersey CARES shops for food and delivers it to a senior’s home. Some of the aid money will also go towards upgrading laptop computers and protective Plexiglas and barriers at local senior centers. Money was also awarded to the Community Health Law Project and the Catholic Charities Fix-it Program. These programs help seniors facing pandemic-related evictions and provide home modification services for them. “We have seen a significant increase in requests for assistance from caregivers over the course of this pandemic,” Vicari said. “Adult children who may not have seen their parents as frequently before COVID, were forced to help them more during the pandemic because home health aides, adult day cares and other services could no longer assist clients.” Maria La Face, director of the Office of Senior Services agreed, stating how her department was flooded with calls from stressed out family members who needed a break from their caregiving responsibilities. “This got worse once things started opening up and the caregivers had to go back to work but the traditional support providers like home health aides or adult day cares remained closed,” La Face said. The money from the grant will be used to help the increased demand for assistance from caregivers. It will also modify facilities, upgrade technology, purchase barriers, PPE and cleaning supplies.

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 find 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 oďŹƒces are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Sta gives Retirement Community Talks!

Dear Pharmacist
In This Week’s Edition
All The President’s Meds
On Friday, October 1st, the President of the United States and the First Lady, Melania tested positive for COVID-19. President Trump’s health is monitored constantly, and he is tested daily for the virus which has taken the lives of more than 1 million people worldwide, at the time of this writing. He was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center reportedly with symptoms of fatigue, a hoarse voice and headache, coughing and low-grade fever. He is going to receive better monitoring and there are qualified, licensed physicians close by. I think it’s a good idea because he is in a high-risk category being a senior, and overweight. That said, he has an extraordinary amount of vigor and energy and doesn’t look or act 74 years old. He does not drink, or smoke, two risk factors that would be detrimental for this condition. Now, let’s talk about some supplements, and all the president’s meds: Zinc. Zinc deficiency will cause a person to fare out worse if they get COVID-19 due to immune suppression and higher amounts of inflammatory cytokines. Vitamin D. Vitamin D is thought to be able to reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms and reduce the respiratory distress problems associated with the condition. Baby Aspirin Studies show that COVID patients have thicker blood (a hypercoagulable state), so aspirin is an appropriate intervention. Regeneron. A cocktail of antibodies given intravenously. This is given to eat up the virus which reduces the body’s viral load,
and speeds recovery. It is in late-stage Phase III clinical trials for potential benefit in the treatment and possibly prevention of COVID-19. Famotidine. The use of this drug for President Trump may have to do with acid reflux, or perhaps from research discovered at Columbia University. Famotidine use seemed to lessen severity of the illness. Patients taking it were approximately 48 percent less likely to require a ventilator. Melatonin. The news outlets are reporting that this natural supplement is for sleep, however, melatonin is also a strong antioxidant and powerful immune modulator. I think it’s a brilliant adjunctive treatment during infection. There are a few items that I would recommend using my background as a pharmacist. For one, I’d suggest a peptide given by injection called “Thymosin Alpha 1” which has been studied for its effect on COVID-19. This requires a prescription and is often used for people with Lyme disease, EBV, cancer, lupus and severe fatigue. The POTUS would benefit from vitamin C due to its antioxidant benefits, as well as anti-viral herbs such as olive leaf extract and Andrographis. Finally, a cup of matcha tea each day could help due to its strong immune-boosting effect. Probiotics would of course be useful since COVID is known to hide in the intestinal cells of the body. In closing, I’d like to reiterate that I do not have access to President Trump’s medical chart and I am providing my opinion here based upon the list of vitamins and medications that were publicly posted today. Please ask your doctor what is right for you.

Student Told To Leave Virtual Class For Having Trump Flag
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – The remote learning conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic collided with the nation’s politically charged environment when a township high school student was asked to leave class for having a Trump f lag visible behind him. Anthony Ribeiro, a 17-year-old Toms
River High School North junior, received a birthday present from his aunt earlier in the week in the form of a flag supporting President Donald Trump. Ribeiro, who has taken an interest in politics, put the f lag in his room. While nothing was said of this for his first six classes, it changed during his last class of the day on October 8, chem-
istry. According to the student, the teacher said that the virtual classroom was no place for politics and that he’d have to remove the f lag or leave the session. Ribeiro was at f irst conf used and surprised that this was happening. He refused to remove it and his teacher told him ‘bye,’ disconnecting him from the rest of the 20 members of the class.
The student however said that his teacher had brought politics up during the first week of class in September. “The school set up a system where a period of 15 minutes between every other class where you would talk about mental health and talk about what was going on in the world and (the teacher) decided to talk about global warming for most of the days and he would bring politics into it. In learning, you need to have politics in social studies or history but teachers have to be down the middle when it comes to being a Democrat or Republican,” Ribeiro said. The student added, “he said Republicans don’t believe in climate change or global warming and Joe Biden and the Democrats are the people that will put light on what the science is to global warming. In one of his class periods he said that is why they have my vote this year in the election and hopefully in the future they will have yours. He said Republicans deny global warming is even a thing, which made it political.” Ribeiro said he keeps an open mind to all views. “I went through the whole day and all the other teachers didn’t say anything and I got to his class which is my last of the day. “I was the first in because I make sure I am on time but he looked up at the screen, didn’t say anything and as people came in, he took attendance and then said ‘Anthony take the f lag down right now.’ My mic was muted because that is one of the requirements for meets this year and shook my head no and he said (his) room wasn’t a place for politics and that was not acceptable and ‘if you aren’t going to take it down you will have to get out of this class.’ I waved and I then left.” Ribeiro did note that his English teacher had asked a student to remove his Make America Great hat earlier in the school year but that teacher did not say anything to him about his f lag draped on the wall in the background of his home. He said some of his fellow students had found it hypocritical for his teacher to have him removed from class. “A couple people texted me through social media afterward and said it was crazy for him (Student - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 to say there was no politics in his room when he makes political remarks.” Ribeiro’s mother, Tara Jost was not pleased to hear that her son had been asked to leave the classroom and immediately contacted the school. She reached out to the school superintendent and high school principal. “This is in my own house,” Jost said and while she and her son understand that some restrictions are in place for students not to wear pajamas or be in bed during their online instruction that there were no rules known about decorations in a room. She said Asst. Superintendent Cara DiMeo had said the teacher’s actions were wrong in his asking her son to leave class and that the matter had been discussed with him. Jost said that this surprised her which made what happened to her honor roll student even more shocking. “I said how dare he (the teacher) tell my son to leave his classroom because of something I have in my home. He’s a science teacher number one, number two we’re Americans and we all have the right in what we believe in and he was talking politics the first week of class which he has no right to do in telling them who to vote for,” she said. If a student wore a Trump shirt to
The Manchester Times, October 17, 2020, Page 21 school, during in-person education, they would not be asked to leave, she said. She said that the vice principal said Gilman should not have removed her son from class but there was no admission regarding to the claim that the teacher spoke about or urged students to vote Democrat in relation to issues of global warming and climate change. She said around 20 students or more might disagree with that position who heard his statements. “ T h is is goi ng c r a z y, w it h re mot e learning they are telling you what you can’t have in your home?” Jost said. The situation continued on October 9 when Ribeiro’s English teacher who his mother said was Mrs. DeRose, noticed the Trump f lag and told him to remove it or he would have to leave the class. He agreed to do so but his mother wished he had not. R ibei ro said he was a yea r away from being able to vote and during the pandemic has become very active in following the news and learning more about the political world. He noted being well aware of how divided people are at the current time including division within families and friends who have differing viewpoints. A representative from the district said that they cannot comment since it is an internal matter.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Rally Shows More Support For Biden In Ocean County
By Chris Lundy SOUTH TOMS RIVER - A rally for Joe Biden urged people to honk if they are “ridin’ with Biden,” and there were a surprising amount of drivers honking for a largely Republican area. Sure, there were plenty of cars that didn’t honk at all, and some drivers that shouted four-letter words instead, but the members of the rally were pleased by the support for the Democrat. The rally started with just a half dozen people holding signs along Route 9 in Mathis Plaza, the small park joined by a bridge to Huddy Park on the other side of the Toms River. Eventually, that number tripled but it was in stark contrast to the hundreds of people who flooded Point Pleasant Beach for a Trump rally or the boat parades that have been all over the news. This was not the first time there had been a rally here and more are planned for future Saturday mornings. Debbie DiDonato, South Toms River, organized the rally, as she had organized previous ones. She has a five-month-old that serves as her inspiration. “I’m doing it for her and her future,” she said. “I think (Biden’s) the only one who can protect us.” She said she’s been seeing more support for
the Democrat challenger. Every day seems to bring up an issue that is a deal-breaker for Republican voters - whether it is how he
insulted veterans, his canceling of COVID aid to families and businesses, or his handling of race relations.
The rally wound up taking place the day after Trump announced he tested positive for (Rally - See Page 27)

Burzichelli. “New Jersey’s county vocational school districts and county colleges have established and advanced career and technical education programs, but the demand for such programs far outweighs their availability,” said Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt. “Moving forward on this investment will help repair this imbalance, as well as provide funding for school security upgrades.” The Securing Our Children’s Future Bond Act includes: School Security: $75 million. This grant funding will help districts implement Alyssa’s Law, which requires that schools have a panic alarm system that alerts police if an emergency occurs. After addressing Alyssa’s Law, the funding can be used for other security
measures in schools such as cameras, secure vestibules, and shatter-resistant glass. Water Infrastructure: $100 million. This grant funding can be used to address issues of lead in school drinking water, and can be used for water-remediation projects such as service line replacement, water flushing systems, and fixtures that filter water. CTE Programs in County Vocational-Technical School Districts: $275 million. This grant funding will support the expansion of CTE programs in the county vocational-technical school districts, including building, expanding, and renovating facilities. Projects under this grant will focus on labor market demands and further the State’s economic development goals. Depending on the scope of the project, projects will be funded up to a maximum of $40 million, and per the Bond Act, 25 percent of total project costs must be supported by the county vocational-technical school districts.
CTE Programs in County Colleges: $50 million. This grant funding is designed to target key industry clusters as designated by the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. These include technically skilled careers that are in demand in today’s economy, such as technology, healthcare, construction and energy, logistics, manufacturing, and financial services. Each county college is eligible for a maximum award of up to $4 million and 25 percent of total project costs must be supported by the county college. Projects funded under these grants will prepare students for high-demand, technically-skilled careers, align with labor market demands and economic development goals outlined in the Jobs NJ: Developing Talent to Grow Business in the Garden State plan, and strengthen partnerships between county vocational school districts and employers and industries that provide technical education and training to
employees. For more information on the grant applications, including timelines, eligibility requirements, and application materials, please visit the Department of Education’s (DOE) website and the website for the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education. The Act stipulates that, when the grant review process is complete, the Department of Education and the Office of Secretary of Higher Education will present a list of eligible projects to the Legislature for each of the funding categories. The Legislature must approve the projects and appropriate funds from the bonds issued. CTE projects could begin as early as the summer of 2021, barring unforeseen obstacles or delays. Projects for security and water infrastructure could begin sooner, and the Act allows for reimbursement of eligible projects dating back to 2016.

In 1998, the State of New Jersey passed the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for you or your family’s medical expenses regardless of fault and less rights to recovery of monetary damages from reckless drivers who cause collisions. Protect yourself! Make sure you have purchased a Standard Policy and not a Basic policy. Make certain that you purchase your Standard Policy with no less than $250,000.000 in medical benefits. Most people who elect a lower amount of medical expense benefits, only to save literally a few dollars, fi nd themselves unable to afford necessary medical treatment because they have already exhausted their medical coverage. Medical treatment is expensive and don’t let any automobile insurance company tell you otherwise. Think about it. If an automobile insurance company sells you $15,000.00 in medical expense benefits (as opposed to the standard $250,000.00) they may lose somewhere between $20.00 and $45.00 in premiums but they have just saved themselves from having to pay up to $250,000.00 in medical expense benefits god forbid you or a member of your family is/are injured in an automobile collision, regardless of fault. Also, make sure you have purchased the “No Limitation on Lawsuit Option.”
By electing the “No Limitation on Lawsuit Michael J. Deem, Esq. Option” you are not limiting your right or your child’s right to receive monetary compensation in the event you or your child is/ are injured in a motor vehicle collision. While the “No Limitation on Lawsuit Option” will slightly increase your premium than if you chose the “Limitation on Lawsuit Option” the limited premium increase is well worth the expense. When you are discussing pricing of your premium for the “No Limitation on Lawsuit Option” versus the “Limitation on Lawsuit Option” demand that the insurance company provide you with the actual dollar amount that your premium will increase if you purchase the “No Limitation on Lawsuit Option” over the “Limitation on Lawsuit Option.” Do not settle on the typical explanation from your insurance company that one option may increase your premium by 120% or 220%. This is very misleading. When you ask the insurance company what the actual dollar amount of a 220% premium increase amounts to you will probably be pleased to hear that it may only cost you $50.00 a month as it has for myself and my family. The 120% or 220% premium increase is not an increase on your overall premium. Rather it’s an increase of a line-item premium such as the premium associated with your medical expense benefits.

Rally:
Continued From Page 23 coronavirus. A woman had told DiDonato “Up until last night, I was voting for Trump.” Pat Talnagi came from Manchester to hold a sign and cheer for the former vice president. “The last time I campaigned for anyone was for Nixon,” she said. “I’ve been a Republican my whole life.” Mario and Christine Poliviou, Toms River residents, said that in Ocean County, Democrats are the silent majority. People are afraid to speak up. The event was also visited by candidates running for local office, such as Freeholder candidate Helen Dela Cruz from Lacey and 4th District Congressional candidate Steph-
anie Schmid. Dela Cruz said she expects a bigger blue wave across the country than what was seen in 2018. Schmid said if you only look at voter registrations, the power balance can be misleading. “Ocean County is coded as Republican when 50% are independents,” she said. “Independents have been breaking for Democrats.” Barbara Reilly, president of the Brick Democratic Club, said she has received a lot of phone calls for Biden signs, and many of them are from Toms River. People want to get involved. They want to help in some way. She also noted that there are more people registering with the Democrats here than ever before. They want to “Make America Normal Again,” she said.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Help Mom After Working All Day
Dear Joel, I have recently returned to in-person work after a six-month furlough due to COVID-19. My husband, who is continuing to work from home, will monitor our two children, ages 12 and 14, who are attending school remotely. I leave the house at 7:45 am and arrive home between 5:15 and 5:30 pm Monday through Friday. I will admit it’s taking some getting used to, but I enjoy getting out of the house and interacting (safely) with my co-workers and clients. What I don’t enjoy is coming home to a mess, and the lack of cooperation with daily chores, etc. I know that my family had gotten used to me being home and taking care of everything, but now that I’m back to work it’s time for everyone to pitch in. Repeated requests for help have fallen on deaf ears. Joel, do you have any suggestions on how I can ‘motivate’ my family to keep our household running smoothly? Answer: First, let me say congratulations on returning to work, it sounds like you are happy to be back. The last six months have been challenging to say the least, with so many changes to our daily rou-
tines. I’m sure it was nice for your family to have you home taking care of things, and hopefully you enjoyed having the extra time at home. But now, circumstances have changed, and your family has to re-group. I like to think that families are like teams; each member must do their part to get the job done. As ‘captain’ of the team, it’s time to call a family meeting and devise a game plan. Everyone on the team is assigned responsibilities and if those responsibilities are shirked, the team is let down. It’s up to you what the consequences for that are. If you had a system in place pre-COVID, it may be time to revisit and revamp it to fit the current circumstances. Don’t forget to remind your husband and children that with everyone pitching in, there’ll be more time for fun family activities. Thank you for writing. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Health Department Urges Residents To Get Flu Shot
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER –The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) is urging residents to get a flu shot this year as it may be more important than ever to stop the spread of respiratory illness. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year the flu causes millions of illnesses and hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations. Preliminary data suggests there were estimated 24,00062,000 flu deaths for the 2019-20 influenza season in the country. While it remains unclear what will happen in the months to come, when there will be COVID-19 and flu at the same time, it could place a tremendous burden on our health care systems. That’s why the OCHD is urging everyone to do their part to help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses, like flu and COVID-19. Getting a flu shot, continuing to follow social distancing measures and wearing a mask will help in mitigating the spread of both viruses. County Freeholder Gerry P. Little said, “the influenza vaccine will not protect against COVID-19, but it does have important benefits.” Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health added that “getting a flu shot can lower your risk of getting sick, being hospitalized or dying from flu. If you’ve never had a flu shot, this is certainly the year to visit one of our clinics and to get one especially with COVID-19 being another potentially deadly respiratory illness.” Getting a flu vaccine is something everyone can do to reduce the impact of flu. It not only will protect yourself and your community, but it will protect the medical providers on the frontlines who will continue to deal with COVID-19. Flu Prevention Tips: • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. • Wear a facial coverings when in the public. • Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Stay home when you are sick. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. • Get a flu shot every year. Important Flu Facts: • All people 6 months of age and older should get vaccinated against seasonal flu every year. • Children younger than 6 months are at high risk of serious flu illness but are too young to be vaccinated. People who care for them should be vaccinated instead. • Vaccination is especially important for pregnant women and people with chronic diseases. • The flu vaccine protects against several different flu viruses (strains). Flu vaccines are updated every year to better match the viruses circulating in the public. • Getting the flu vaccine cannot give you the flu! The vaccine is made with inactive (killed) virus strains which are not infectious. The OCHD just released its 2020 Influenza and Pneumonia Clinic schedule with a full set of dates to be held all over the county in its on-going effort to ensure every segment of our communities are covered. The complete schedule and other requirements can be found at ochd.org.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of oct 17 - oct 20 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Unfortunately, there is no remote control that allows you to fast-forward past the challenging parts of life. In the week to come, it would be wise to think before you act. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the week ahead, you might find that dealing with a health issue, your job or a new project may take you outside your comfort zone. Ask for advice today before you take further steps. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Loved ones and partners will likely reassure you whenever you have doubts. In the upcoming week it’s a good idea to thoroughly think through events before you react. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be uplifted by visions of business success and lofty ideals in the upcoming week. There could be some friction in your home or with loved ones that will best be dealt with in a diplomatic way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make decisions that will withstand the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.� The week ahead could be filled with an onslaught of challenges. Don’t worry, but do prepare. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Remain tolerant of the little irritations of life and concentrate on the things that bring you joy and happiness. In the week ahead, remain skeptical of anything that is offered at little or no cost. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The week
ahead can be challenging on many levels. Get important issues settled to everyone’s satisfaction before this weekend ends, if possible. Remember that honesty is more important than winning. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Sometimes you need to make a cooperative effort for team morale. Meeting others’ expectations might mean temporarily sidelining some of your own ambitions now. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Family members should treat you fairly and be free with their praise. Enjoy having a few extra dollars right now, as it may be necessary to economize later in the week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can fine-tune most business details by being willing to cooperate, but you should never compromise your principles. Avoid signing crucial agreements or launching new ventures in the upcoming week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Before this week unfolds, it might be a good idea to practice counting to 10. You may frequently need to hold your tongue to avoid disputes, but the outcome should be well worth it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your spirit remains undiminished by exposure to some of life’s realities, but not everyone shares your generosity. Remain skeptical of high-pressure sales pitches this week.
