Couple Issued A License For Love By Manchester Police
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Manchester Township Police Chief Lisa Parker and Sergeant Chris Cerullo were conducting an “Undercover Operation” that led to a traffic stop near Route 571. Chief Parker started by requesting the driver’s license, registration and insurance information and then asked the driver and passenger “have you been the owner/occupant of this vehicle
all day?” The driver responded in the affirmative adding he was at work and Chief Parker told him she was investigating “something important” and asked the occupants to step outside to the rear of the vehicle. When both occupants of the car exited the vehicle Chief Parker (Love - See Page 23 )

Lakehurst Planning Borough’s Centennial
By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – Borough officials are looking for some help with the planning of its big centennial year in 2021. As the COVID-19 pandemic conditions caused the cancellation of many popular events such as its Independence Day fireworks display and car show and Lakehurst’s own heritage day, funds for those events were put toward a bigger celebration of the community in 2021 when it is hoped that the pandemic will be lessened or gone by the time the celebrations take place. Mayor Harry Robbins called for volunteers recently from all walks of the borough to assist as members of a planning committee. Council President Steven Oglesby said “The borough’s anniversary is fast approaching and the historical society would like to know what plans we have as they would like to coordinate. They were talking about doing the trolley ride which is pretty popular and other things like that.”. The Lakehurst Historical Society runs their trolley ride historic tours around the (Centennial - See Page 7)
Ridgeway Blvd. Bridge Replaced
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – A bridge by a busy intersection was replaced recently since it was starting to show its age. A driver might not even realize they are going over a bridge. It’s on Ridgeway Boulevard, which links Ridgeway Road (otherwise known as Route 571) to a Y-shaped intersection with South Hope Chapel Road, just north of Route 70. The old bridge had been there for almost 65 years. One of the reasons for rebuilding it was because of a new garage for the Ocean County Transportation Department nearby. As a timber bridge, the county engineer wanted to make sure it was going to be sturdy enough to handle the additional (Bridge - See Page 22)

Continued From Page 1 activities for children and adults. Also featured were members of the borough fire and police departments who showcased their services. Arriving early was Marie Fircha and her family of Whiting. Her 3-year-old daughter Abigail was dressed as a pumpkin which kept in the theme. She was shy about having her photo taken but not so shy about her tasting of cotton candy that was available. She told her mom that she didn’t want to go on the fi re truck that was present for a visit. Nearby was Joan Guido of Manchester and David Monti of Toms River. Adults
weren’t exempt from enjoying the festivities in costumes. Monti’s COVID-19 mask blended well with her skeleton costume. He was there to help the church with giving out snacks. The church has been active in providing family events to the area for months now with its concerts, outdoor movies, game nights, food drives and free flea markets and that was before it officially began holding services last month. Pastor Nick Daleo said “this is one of the events that the borough asked us to be a part of. Initially they borough was going to hold their Halloween Parade on the same day. It was supposed to line up but it didn’t but that’s okay.” Borough officials had forgotten that last

year the Halloween Parade to be held on October 24 had already been put on the calendar so the idea of having it prior to the church’s Fall Festival was changed when that was discovered. “We went to their recreation meeting and we said we would go forward with this in the safest manner. People are showing up. All the events that people are doing they enjoy. Right now things are just weird and if you give people an outlet to come out in a safe environment for families and the kids have a little normalcy, they enjoy it,” the pastor added. His wife Tracy said, “we didn’t officially open the doors for services but we’ve been having virtual services. We do a taping on Wednesday nights and we plan to open up on November 1. It has been going really well. We only let it be 100 spots for social distancing and we pretty much fill it up every week.” “We get new families every week. We get people to sign up because they have to sign up to come and it has been good,” she added. “No one had to register for today,” she added. Attendees signed in at the entrance for purposes of tracking should anyone show signs of the coronavirus but masks were a must and the tables were socially distanced. Activities also included axe throwing with a soft Nerf like adhesive to a target, a pumpkin patch, a scavenger hunt for older
children and refreshments. “We are so thrilled to be involved and the fi re department is involved with us again,” the Pastor added. Previously the fi re department whose fi rehouse is across the street from the church, held a fi re prevention program and allowed children to inspect their vehicles. Pastor Daleo added, “if there is anything we can do for them, fundraiser-wise we want to help because they lost the ability to hold all their annual fundraising activities.” Lakehurst Fire Department members Michael Sinton, Lawrence DesJardins, Matthew Cadmus and Bob Morris were on hand to meet and greet attendees. Police Officers Madelyn Waltz, Harry Paul and William Bowers represented the borough police department at their table which featured a Halloween decorated police vehicle. Maria Colatarci of Lakehurst manned a table that featured her 250 colorful bead bracelets that she was selling for $3 or two for $5 to support autism research. Maria said she has autism and wanted to help others with autism. She is also a cancer survivor. “Families and especially the kids are pushed to the limit as is, with schools being partly remote learning, being hybrid with days on, days off. They’ve been through a lot. We just wanted them to come out, have some fun and smile,” Pastor Daleo added.

Centennial:
Continued From Page 1 community as a program. The organization offers them at least once a year and that may become part of the activities of the borough’s centennial celebration. “Maybe we would like to coordinate (the anniversary celebration) with the Fourth of July festivities?” Oglesby asked the council. “I thought that is what we were doing?” Councilman Gary Lowe said. “We took the fireworks off as there was the pandemic and we said we were saving the money from this year’s celebration and incorporating it into next year’s to do it big,” the mayor added. Oglesby said that Indian Avenue could be closed off and Mayor Robbins added a block party could be held there. “We can get the businesses involved,” Oglesby added. “We are seeking persons to help with Lakehurst’s 100th anniversary planning committee,” Mayor Robbins said. For now those interested should contact the Borough Hall. Also approved was an ordinance authorizing improvements to the water-sewer utility system and to appropriate $100,000 to pay the cost of that project from the capital improvements fund. Lowe also said there was need that staff at the Borough Hall needed some space for a break room “so they don’t have to eat at their desk or having to have a break at their desk.” Recommendations for where that could occur will be further researched. Councilman Robert McCarthy had no update to offer on the school board as it had not met at that time. He added that there were no confirmed cases of the coronavirus “in the building to my
The Manchester Times, October 24, 2020, Page 7 knowledge. Manchester had a couple.” Trees In Town Council President Steven Oglesby gave an update on his research regarding tree installation on various streets in the borough. He said Bradford pears and Japanese cherry trees were chosen as the best replacements for the trees removed off streets. “We are just making sure they won’t damage the sidewalks. Both of them are supposed to be ideal and are also supposed to require very little maintenance,” Oglesby said. He will be checking to see if they bloom at the same time. “I’m also looking into what the prices would be and if there was a possibility of donations.” Councilman Lowe said the council needs to explore a tree ordinance pertaining to residents cutting down their trees. Our trees will be planted by the county. When trees cause sidewalks to be lifted that is when they become a hazard. Sometimes people just chop down these trees willy nilly.” Halloween Info Councilman Brian DiMeo reminded the mayor and council that this year’s Lakehurst Halloween Parade would be held on the morning of October 24. A meeting of the recreation committee was scheduled for October 22. The Halloween Parade will start at 11 a.m. and will run from across the street from Borough Hall and will march down Main Street to the lake for a judging of costumes. The mayor noted that trick or treating for Halloween would be from 3 to 9 p.m. this year as Halloween falls on a Saturday. “The home decorations contest will also run this year and judges were needed.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Races To Watch On Election Night There is a lot of speculation about what’s going to happen on November 3. After the polls close at 8 p.m., there will be plenty of news personalities talking about the results as they come in. With every House seat on the ballot, plus control of the Senate, White House, and (eventually) the Supreme Court, it’s enough to make you dizzy. The problem with a lot of political commentary is that they expect people to vote with their minds, and not their hearts. They’ll say something like “Iowa fa r mers were hu r t by Trump’s trade policies so they won’t vote for him,” or “White voters in the Texas counties won’t vote for Biden.” In reality, very few people really understand the complex issues. Instead, they’ll just vote for whoever their Facebook bubble has promoted more than the other. I spent a weekend researching the elections because I’m curious about it. And now I’m going to let you copy my notes. This list I made is by no means an exhaustive list. I selected the important ones that interested me the most. Some people will say that if Pennsylvania and Florida get called for Biden, you can go to bed early. For the purpose of this editorial, I will only be focusing on Republicans and Democrats, and not independent candidates. Republicans currently control the Senate. Democrats need to gain four senators (three if they also take the White House) to take control of the Senate. Democrats have the majority in the House 232-197, and Republicans need to land 18 seats to take it. I’m going to start with New Jersey because New Jersey is the best state. New Jersey’s 14 electoral
votes are predicted to go to Biden. What’s more interesting are the races down ballot. For most of this election cycle, pundits and predictors have rated the House elections in the 2 nd and 3rd Districts as toss-ups. Sometimes they lean one way or the other, but that’s the nature of toss-ups. Websites have also named both of these races among the closest in the nation. Starting with the 2 nd District, the incumbent is Republican Jeff Van Drew. He’s being challenged by Democrat Amy Kennedy. Polls show her with a slight lead, but I’ve never really liked polls. They call 500 registered voters and count them up. That’s hardly scientific. It’s one thing to look at, but not the be-all, end-all. In the 3rd District, incumbent Andy Kim, a Democrat, is being challenged by David Richter, a Republican. This will be Richter’s second fight of the year. The first was against Kate Gibbs in the primary. It was messy and expensive. It left the incumbent relatively unscathed with a huge lead in funding. Kim unseated Republican Tom MacArthur for the job. The race was so close that it wasn’t called until almost two weeks later. I imagine the same thing will happen this time around, even moreso because of mail-in ballot reasons. In the 4th District, incumbent Republican Chris Smith is favored to win reelection. He is being challenged by Democrat Stephanie Schmid. Smith has been in the position for a few decades, and has name recognition and staying power. His pro-life sentiment will likely win him continual support in the very religious communities he represents. (Editorial - See Page 10)
Letters To The Editor Resources For Breast Cancer Help, Screening While I was happy to see Jersey Shore Online taking part in Breast Cancer Awareness month through the article “Tackling Breast Cancer With Screening and Prevention,” I was disappointed by the lack of resources this article provided. As both a Bachelor of science and Master of public health student at George Washington University, who has experience working with the Manalapan Health Department, I strongly feel that providing readers with tangible ways to access breast cancer screening and educational services is extremely important. Although the article does provide a link to the resources provided by RWJBarnabas system, this link is listed at the end of the article. It does not stand out and is a bit difficult for readers to find. There are other breast cancer screening and educational resources available locally. These include but are not limited to the Planned Parenthood office in Freehold (732-431-1717), which offers breast exams and other female health exams, and the Children & Family Health Institute at the VNA Health Group (vnahg.org/children-family-health-institute/ ). Educational resources can
be found online from the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.(nationalbreastcancer.org/), Susan G. Komen (5.komen.org), and the American Cancer Society (cancer.org/cancer/ breast-cancer.html). Brianna Elgart Manalapan
It’s Time We Elect True Leadership In NJ-04
We hear about “leadership” during every election, but in the middle of a health and economic crisis the word should be treated as more than an empty platitude. Beyond bringing others to your point of view, true leadership requires risk; one cannot lead simply by toeing the party line. I am running for Congress in New Jersey’s Fourth Congressional District because our democracy is at a crisis point, and now, more than ever, we need leaders who will put people before partisanship, country before party, and work together to find solutions. While serving our country as a United States Foreign Service Officer, I deployed to Haiti shortly after they were devastated by an earthquake and struggling with a cholera outbreak. I worked with Haiti’s government to rebuild and strengthen their democracy and increase

public resources. I know firsthand that coming back from a public health and economic crisis requires fixing many of the problems that existed before the crisis hit. That’s why if I am elected to Congress, I will not only fight for the aid New Jersey needs to recover from the pandemic, but I will also support healthcare legislation which automatically enrolls uninsured or underinsured individuals in a public healthcare program such as Medicare, while allowing people the choice to keep their private plans. This way, no family will ever have to choose between their healthcare and putting food on the table, and every American will have access to quality, affordable healthcare. My opponent, thirty-nine yea r i ncu mbent, Ch r is Smith, has utterly failed to fight for us, even in the midst of a pandemic. We are in desperate need of real leadership and that is why I feel called to serve our community and our country again. The pandemic hit New Jersey hard with over 16,000 deaths, thousands more jobs lost, small businesses shuttered, and a revenue shortfall that threatens essential state and local government services. Despite this, Smith voted against both iterations of the HEROES Act, which included essential aid for our state and local governments. With his vote, Smith jeopardized job security for our police officers, fi refighters and teachers. The Act also included an extension of enhanced unemployment benefits, student loan forgiveness, critical resources for our frontline workers, funding for the Postal Service and election security, and eliminated the $10,000 cap on the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction - which would have given immediate tax relief to middle class New Jersey homeowners. In June, while millions lost employer-based health insurance, Smith voted against strengthening our health-
Letters To Th care. A real leader would have prioritized the needs of our families over partisanship. But as usual, Smith refused to stand up for us. As the first Congresswoman in NJ-04, I pledge to use both my voice and vote to ensure that we have the resources we need before, during, and after a crisis. Every day, I’ll fight tirelessly for our families and our future. It’s the kind of leadership we deserve. Stephanie Schmid Democratic Nominee for Congress, NJ-04 Little Silver
Wake Up, America The Supreme Court is on attack from the left in order to break down our Constitution; to control the Supreme Court. They have been threatening the existing members, “We can control you anytime we want to.” Dems have done everything they can in order to undermine Trump; to eviscerate his administration, to criminalize his administration, and to remove the president of the United States. (The) Democrat party is following a Saul Alinsky, Stalinist model embracing socialism/Marxism ideology. We have a party that is undermining our government, undermining our system, praising BLM, embracing Antifa (a Marxist organization). These are anarchists whose mission is to the destruction of the United States of America. The left, if elected, will pack the courts with leftwing activities! We are going to lose our freedoms, liberties, and our precious Constitution. America better wake-up fast! America will never be a socialist country under Trump’s watch! Carole A.

Biden’s Friend Richter How can we trust David Richter to represent Republicans when he hired Biden’s brother 10 years ago? James Biden was hired as executive vice president by HillStone in 2010. Richter was the company’s president and COO at the time. His father was the CEO. The press release from the company touted Biden’s four decades experience in “business, political, legal and financial circles.” He’s cozying up to Biden and the Democrats – as long as he can make money off the deal. Richter doesn’t care about us. He doesn’t care about the Republicans. He only cares about himself. Chris Tomlin Howell
94, And Voting For Change The Republican Party of Lincoln and Reagan is no more. Now we have the Trump Party or rather King Trump! There is no more norm. Democracy is on the verge of collapse. No one can say ‘no’ to Trump and keep their job. Trump is working towards a monarchy, with him as our King and say goodbye to our Democracy. We are a country of hate and haters. The KKK has for years and years killed black and brown people and white sympathizers and are never tried for their crimes of murder. Trump said “Some of them are very nice.” Hitler marched into country after country after country and killed millions and millions of Jews, handicapped people, priests, nuns, gays, etc. The whole world watched and nobody said ‘no’ to Hitler. Never again?
Trump said “I can shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and get away with it.” Trump, in his many interviews with a very well known journalist Bob Woodward, told him in January/February that he knew the coronavirus was deadly. It came in the air and nothing could be done about it. He didn’t want to panic Americans citizens. So in reality he helped to kill 200,000 plus American citizens. The CDC, Dr. Redfield, said to wear a mask it could be more effective than the vaccine. Trump did not have any plans for the American people, just said the virus would just go away. Now in front of King Trump’s house, The White House, is a signed peace agreement with some of the world’s meanest dictators. Does anyone know what it says? Please do not allow this self-absorbed bully, rebel rouser, white supremacist defender destroy our democracy. Don’t panic, just vote! At my age of 94 years I probably will not be here for the next four years. Please wake up and prevent this catastrophe from happening. Vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and keep our Democracy alive and well in the United States of America, forever and ever.

Continued From Page 8 Schmid’s chance is if there is another blue wave, and she converts independents who are coming out to vote against anyone with an R after their name. On a lesser note, New Jersey’s 5th, 7th, and 11th Congressional Districts are not slam dunks for the incumbent Democrats, and might have surprises.
Arizona has 11 electoral votes. It has been historically Republican. Currently, Biden has a slight lead. Also, you should watch the Senate race there. Martha McSally is up for election. She is a Republican who was chosen to fulfill the remainder of John McCain’s term. She is being challenged by Democrat Mark Kelly, an astronaut married to Gabby Giffords. The other senator in Arizona is a Democrat who won the spot by narrowly beating McSally in 2018. So,
this is a vulnerable spot that should be watched. However, since the mail-in voting might slow down how long it takes to tally votes, Arizona might be decided past your bedtime. Florida has 29 electoral votes and is a big target in presidential elections. The last three presidential elections have been very close. Trump won Florida in 2016 by 2.2%, with only about 100,000 votes more than Hillary Clinton. Obama won it in 2012

and 2008 with similarly narrow margins. Before that, George W. Bush won both of his elections in that state by even closer margins. Bill Clinton won it one year but not the other. Georgia’s 16 electoral votes are believed to be in play this year. The state has routinely been safe for Republicans, and Trump won it easily before. However, Democrats have been investing a lot of time and money getting inner city people registered to vote. This might not impact the presidency, but might mean more blue in House races. Both Republican Senators are on the ballot. Kelly Loeffler, in particular, got bad press earlier this year for dumping stocks when she knew COVID was about to hit. Somehow, a lot of news came out of Michigan recently. Trump won it narrowly in 2016. It had been such a Democrat stronghold that the Democrats didn’t put a lot of work into keeping it. With all the turmoil, it will be interesting to see how it turns out. Clinton won Minnesota narrowly in 2016 and the Trump campaign has targeted it as a vulnerable pick-up state for 2020. The Republicans have been outspending and out-visiting this year to earn its 10 electoral votes. North Carolina has 15 electoral votes. Obama won it with 1 point in 2008; Romney won it with 2 points in 2012 and Trump won it with a 4 point margin in 2016. Their Republican first-term Senator Thom Tillis is up for re-election and pundits say it could go either way. So, this state is important to watch for control of the Senate as well. You knew that Ohio would wind up on this list, right? One stat I saw said that no Republican ever ascended to the presidency without Ohio. That sounds like a baseball stat – something to ramble off while you’re waiting for the pitch but it doesn’t really matter. It has 18 electoral votes. Trump won it by 8 points. Obama won the state both times, but by smaller margins. South Carolina’s 9 electoral votes traditionally go to Republicans. But this year, it’s not about the electoral votes. It’s about Lindsey Graham. Once critical of Trump, he has had a change in tune, and the nation noticed. He faces Jaime Harrison who has set fundraising records. Pennsylvania is worth 20 electoral votes. It voted for Trump very narrowly. However, it voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012. Expect pundits to be watching Pennsylvania closely on election night. Texas has 38 electoral votes and hasn’t voted for a Democrat since Carter. A lot of pundits are talking about Texas moving slowly to the left over the years, and some websites are only listing it as “lean right,” but I personally feel that’s making a mountain out of a mole hill just to get clicks. Wisconsin has 10 electoral votes. And interestingly, Wisconsin residents voted on their 10 electoral voters earlier this year. Trump won it narrowly in 2016, and Obama won it his two terms, making this a true swing state. All the polls point to Trump losing Wisconsin this year. However, all the polls pointed to Trump losing Wisconsin in 2016, but he won it despite predictions. Chris Lundy News Editor

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – A township couple who suffered the devastating loss of their home and several pets in a fire recently thanked Manchester Police for helping them recover afterward. The house fire was caused by a lightning strike which caused a devasting fire to the structure. Liz Casterlin and Mark Buglio of J&R Kennels presented a wooden flag out of gratitude for the help the couple received after the fire. Gift cards, food, clothing and other items were collected to help care for their surviving animals. The collection was coordinated with Manchester police and delivered to
them a few days following the fire. During the July 1 fi re, the couple lost two cats, birds and several reptiles. “The Manchester Township community quickly came together and donated household items, clothing, food, and other essentials to Liz and Mark,” police said in a post on Facebook. “Liz and Mark are still rebuilding their lives, but the future remains bright for these two and their animals,” a police statement added. The post added, “we wish them nothing but the best of luck and thank them for this wooden flag that is now proudly displayed in our police lobby.”

Manchester Man Faces More Theft Charges
By Alyssa Riccardi MANCHESTER – After being charged with theft back in September, the owner of a Rumson jewelry store is facing more charges after 11 new victims came forward. A total of $300,00 has been stolen from the new victims after the jeweler failed to return jewelry. Anthony Goltsch, of Manchester Township and the owner of the Golden Goose jewelry store located at 7 West River Road in Rumson, executed his thefts by either not returning jewelry that was brought in for redesign or repair and not paying the victims from their consigned items. Goltsch is also a member of the Manchester Township School Board. The initial investigation revealed that three victims failed to receive any payment from Goltsch. After the first charge, 11 new victims stepped forward with fourteen victims being identified and possibly more victims to come forward. According to police, these are the statements from the 11 victims: • Victim 1 consigned a ring with an appraised value of $45,000 to Goltsch in April 2019. Victim has not received any payment for the ring and has attempted to get the ring back on numerous occasions, but Goltsch has not returned or paid the victim for the ring. • Victim 2 gave Goltsch a large quantity of sterling silver jewelry to melt in November 2015. The jewelry has an estimated value between $5,000 and $10,000, but the victim has to-date not received payment from Goltsch. • Victim 3 consigned a watch with an estimated value of $1,800 in July 2019. Victim has not received any payment for the watch and has attempted to get the watch back on numerous occasions, but Goltsch has not returned or paid for the watch. • Victim 4 paid Goltsch a deposit of $6,900 for a ring in June 2020. Goltsch did not deliver the ring but the victim was able to reverse the charge on his credit card. • Victim 5 paid Goltsch $34,500 for a watch between March and June 2018. The watch was never delivered by Goltsch, and he has refused
to refund the money. • Victim 6 paid Goltsch a total of $98,704 between November 2019 and February 2020 for both gold and silver coins. The victim has not received the coins despite numerous follow-ups with Goltsch. • Victim 7, who is a jewelry dealer, provided diamonds on at least eight occasions to Goltsch to sell between April 2018 and June 2019. Despite numerous requests for payment or a return of the diamonds, Goltsch failed to pay or make a return. The total amount of the theft for this victim is $98,500. • Victim 8 in March 2019, victim handed over earrings to Goltsch for repairs. Despite multiple requests made to Goltsch, he has refused to return the items valued between $700 and $1,000. Victim 9 turned over to Goltsch in June 2019, assorted gold jewelry for melting. To-date, the victim has not received payment for the assorted gold jewelry valued at approximately $3,500. • Victim 10 gave Goltsch assorted jewelry valued at approximately $10,000 on consignment in September 2019. The victim followed up with Goltsch but to-date has not received payment for the assorted jewelry, and he has refused to return the jewelry. • Victim 11 left her watch with Goltsch for repair in April 2019. The victim was charged $535 for the repair in August 2019. The victim has followed up numerous times, but has not received back from Goltsch the watch, valued at approximately $5,000. With a new total of approximately $560,000 of jewelry stolen, Goltsch has been charged with another count of Theft by Failure to Make Required Disposition of Property Received. If convicted of the Theft charge, Goltsch faces a sentence of five to ten years in a New Jersey state prison on each count. If anyone has information regarding the Golden Goose, you can contact Detective Michael Acquaviva of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, Financial Crimes Unit at 732-431-7160, ext 2233, or Rumson Police Detective Donald Schneider at 732-842-0500.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Whiting Assembly Of God News and Opportunities
WHITING − Miss going to church? Whiting Assembly held open-air services in the parking lot this spring as soon as permission was granted, with about 40 cars directed to every other space. As soon as the governor allowed, we moved inside and have been able to seat about 70 on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. We observe all the safety requirements for all meetings: temperature checks at the door, seating 6 feet apart, open windows for circulation, and air conditioning for comfort. The worship team is separated by plastic shields and the entire church is sanitized weekly. Recently we’ve begun Wednesday services from 6 to 7 p.m., with a less structured format and plenty of room for visitors. Pastor
Charlesworth has taught two lessons on “How to Deal with Difficult People.” Future services may be devoted to prayer for those who bring prayer requests, testimonies of those who have enjoyed answered prayer, and other interesting topics, like “How to Deal with Stress.” Bible study groups have also begun at the church. Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m., Dr. Sandy Dennis continues teaching in the book of Daniel. Thursdays at 1:30 p.m., Diane Smith leads a discussion group about various issues, currently about living in the Kingdom of God. Fridays at 2 p.m., MaryJane Langan teaches about Drawing Closer to God. Other activities and events are in planning stages, as we seek to lead people to discover and become who God has created them to be.

Seasonal influenza viruses are believed to be transmitted from person-to-person primarily through virus-laden droplets that are generated when infected persons speak, cough or sneezes. These air droplets can be deposited into the respiratory tract when a person breaths or touches a contaminated surface (e.g., door knobs, cell phones or vehicle keys). Persons who are near the droplet source are susceptible to transmission by direct and indirect contact with the infectious respiratory secretions, (e.g., by hands that subsequently deliver infectious material to the eyes, nose or mouth).

Better Hearing, Resilience, And You!
Like improved hearing, resilience can make a significant difference in the quality of life – after all, it reflects an invaluable ability to adapt to, recover from, or withstand challenges, change, and adversity. Since March, 2020, we have all experienced what the effects of Covid 19 have had on our overall lifestyle, health, and well-being. Dr. Izzy and his Staff have some tips for building resilience in your life for the present and future: REMEMBER YOU’RE NOT ALONE: If you’ve felt somewhat disconnected in these times, that’s not uncommon. Challenges such as the pandemic have upended the way we live, work, and play. Newer norms can feel uncomfortable. Drawing strength from the knowledge that others share your experiences can make a difference. GAIN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH PREPARATION: If you wear hearing technology, it’s probably no surprise that a little maintenance goes a long way toward helping you stay engaged. Regular hearing aid checks & cleanings will increase the reliability of your hearing instruments
and help you feel prepared for anything life brings. THINK TOTAL WELLNESS: Hearing plays an important role in overall wellness, which in turn plays a role in resilience. Did you know? Ears and eyes work together to help you perceive the world. Conversely, hearing loss is linked to cognitive decline, heart disease, isolation, and other issues, so protect your hearing health. COMMIT TO LEARNING: Learning not only stimulates the brain but supports resilience. It also supports better hearing, especially when learning more about your existing hearing device’s helpful features and capabilities – streaming, for example = that can help you communicate confidently and navigate your world. REACH OUT FOR HELP: Expanding and tapping into your network of support can help fortify your resilience. Count on our hearing care team as part of that important connected family network, letting us know how we can help! We HEAR you and we are ALWAYS here for you! 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!

Ginger Improves Memory And Reduces Pain
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Ginger is a something you’ve probably walked past a thousand times in the grocery store and passed up. It has some incredible medicinal benefits and offers people a natural approach to many ailments. Many women use ginger for morning sickness during pregnancy. Sometimes you see it crystallized with sugar to improve flavor. But today I’m talking about the fresh ginger root which you can buy in food markets. Known officially as Zingiber officinale, ginger contains many therapeutic compounds, all of which have well-documented medicinal actions in the body. In studies with people who ate dried ginger spice in their meals, 75 percent experienced relief from arthritic pain and swelling! Ginger contains dozens of compounds which have pharmacological activity. Sometimes you have to heat the ginger to see a specific compound. For example, zingerone is negligible in fresh ginger, however cooking it transforms the gingerol to zingerone. The dried (powdered) ginger spice does contain zingerone in it. We think of ginger (either fresh or powdered) as a flavor agent, but ginger is powerful medicine. It is an antioxidant and strong analgesic. It could thin the blood so you have to avoid it (or minimize it) if you are supported on anticoagulant medications. Zingerone is well researched and it’s incredible. Studies have determined that it reduces inflammation, improves blood
sugar, eases muscle pain and spasms, helps with arthritis, speeds fat breakdown and ramps up immune function. In an animal study, ginger compounds protected rodents from brain damage and memory loss so now drug companies are trying to morph it and patent it into an Alzheimer’s drug. I say just eat it! Ginger can block your enzyme xanthine oxidase which is good because that reduces ROS (reactive oxygen species). So the fact that ginger can degrade these ROS free radicals means it protects your DNA and mitochondria. In fact, ginger promotes mitochondrial health and these mito store energy for you in the form of ATP. If you have liver disease, or hepatic injury (for example, alcohol-related, or hepatitis), consider ginger in all of your recipes because studies show that zingerone has a hepatoprotective effect. Here’s another fun fact. Ginger might have some heavy metal binding abilities, because it can reduce cadmium levels according to animal studies. It can also reduce the body’s burden of organophosphate pesticides! If you have a PON1 gene, make ginger your friend! Unfortunately, it cannot bind gadolinium from MRIs. Not only does ginger spice up your recipes, it makes for a quick and delicious tea. I have a recipe for this at my website, as well as a free ebook for you called “Spices that Heal.” Ginger is a delicious, safe and affordable way to improve health while adding a warming spice to your meals.

Financial Aid Available For Fishing Industry
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Recreational fishermen both commercial and recreational - can apply for their businesses to receive a share of $11.2 million in financial aid to offset losses incurred during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari announced recently that online applications are immediately available on the state
Department of Environmental Protection. The money is being administered by the state as part of a $300 million federal CARES Act grant and is available to a wide range of fishing-related industries. Commercial fisheries, aquaculture businesses, processors, dealers, and recreational fishery businesses, including for-hire businesses and bait and tackle shops are all eligible to apply.
The funding has certain requirements: Applicants must have experienced a greater than 35 percent loss in fishery-related revenues between March 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, as compared to their 5-year average revenue for the same time period. Individual applicants must be New Jersey residents and business applicants must be located in New Jersey.
Applicants must have been in business for at least one year prior to 2020. Applicants will be required to provide a total estimate of revenue for the full year of 2020 and provide information on all COVID-19 related financial assistance that they are receiving. Applicants must meet all mandatory licensing and permitting requirements for 2020. “I want to thank Gov. Phil Murphy for making this money available to our fishing businesses. From Tuckerton to Point Pleasant Beach our fishing community has a long and prosperous history in Ocean County,” Vicari said. Commercial and recreational fishing pump about $2.5 billion into the state’s economy each year. About 30 million pounds of fish are brought into Ocean County ports each year, with a worth of more than $46 million annually. Since the pandemic started, fishing revenue in the state is down around 35 percent, according to the DEP. Applicants have 30 days to apply for a grant and the amounts awarded will be based in part on the total number of applications submitted. “All qualified commercial and recreational fishing business owners should submit an application immediately. Please take advantage of this important program,” Vicari added. Applications can be found at the website at njdepsage.intelligrants.com. Further information can also be gleaned from the Ocean County Government webpage at co.ocean. nj.us. Click on the Coronavirus update box.

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 if I am injured during Christopher R. Shea Esq. 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.

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.

Bridge:
Continued From Page 1 traffic from heavy vehicles. It had undergone a partial rehabilitation in 1999 but was starting to show signs of wear and tear, officials said. “The opening of the new bridge on October 8 is the last piece of a combination of projects that have resulted in a completely upgraded corridor for township residents, many of whom live in communities along the route,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, in announcing the opening of the bridge. “The new bridge, new paving and new traffic signals will result in a safer traffic f low along Ridgeway Boulevard, and Routes 571 and 547.” The replacement is a single-span, and measures 54 feet in length, according to the county. The width of the new structure is 40 feet, 10 feet wider than it had been. The bridge replacement project also included the installation of new guide rail and some reconstruction of the bridge approaches.
The county appropriated $2.5 million for the project, issuing $2,3750,000 to fund it. The bridge construction had hit some snags early on due to utility relocation delays, Kelly said. Bad weather also slowed the project down. The original date of completion had been in August. “Delays in moving utilities and also some environmental constraints resulted in the project taking longer than the construction schedule that was originally created,” said Ocean County Engineer John Ernst. “With all of that behind us, the work is completed and motorists have a road that is now state of the art.” Other recent improvements in the area had been the traffic signal on Route 547 and the realignment of Ridgeway Boulevard by developer Pulte Homes as a condition of the Ocean County Planning Board approval for the River Pointe Development. This was done to fix a problem when those roads connected, and the big residential development would have exacerbated the project. The County Road Department resurfaced Ridgeway Boulevard from the railroad crossing to just south of Ridgeway Boulevard Bridge during the month of October 2019. The reconstruction and resurfacing of Ridgeway Boulevard also included replacing approximately 2,000 linear feet of drainage pipe, installing a new traffic signal at the intersection with County Route 571 (Ridgeway Road) and resurfacing and reconstructing 2,000 linear feet of roadway.

Love:
Continued From Page 1 then asked “is there anything on you right now that I need to know about?” Low in behold, there was. It was a piece of a jewelry, an engagement ring to be exact. The driver of the car, named Matt, took a step forward as his girlfriend Brianna Rhein, put her hands over her mouth and said “shut up...I’m shaking right now” in shock. With the scene properly “framed” her boyfriend then got down on one knee and said, “Brianna, I love you more than anything from the day I met you until now. There’s nothing more that I want than to spend the rest of my life with you. Everything has
come full circle. Will you marry me?” It didn’t take Brianna long to give a response. “Oh my God, yes!” she replied loudly. Brianna is the daughter of Manchester Police Command Support Assistant Ron Rhein. Parker noted that prior to coming to Manchester Township, Rhein was a sergeant in Howell, so Brianna grew up around the police profession and Matt recognized how special it would be to incorporate it into his proposal. It turned out to be a positive, romantic and memorable surprise for everyone involved. Parker said the entire Manchester Township Police Department extended all the best to the happy couple on their engagement!

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Mobile Senior Assistance Coming Soon
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – While the idea of members of the Ocean County Chosen Board of Freeholders playing the roles of Hawkeye Pierce, Corporal Klinger, Hot Lips Hoolihan or Radar from the popular 1970s television show and feature film M*A*S*H seem comical, the reality is, Ocean County will be fielding its own “MASH” unit. This MASH Unit stands for Mobile Assistance For Seniors at Home and it is expected to be operational in the coming months. Instead of treating wounded soldiers, this 21st century MASH program would be on the frontlines helping seniors, according to
Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “We will be bringing more of our services right to our senior communities rather than residents coming into our Toms River Senior Services office,” Vicari said. When the COVID-19 pandemic first struck the county in the spring and forced most county offices to close to the public, he looked for a way to continue services for the county’s most vulnerable residents. The plans for MASH were formulated over the summer and tested earlier this month during an outreach at Leisure Village in Lakewood. “We had hoped to test the waters during a
visit to Leisure Village in August, but the tropical storm that hit the area washed out our plans,” said Maria La Face, director of the Ocean County Office of Senior Services. She added that the event was rescheduled to October 6 and was a success both for her staff and for the residents of Leisure Village. “We set up outside with folding tables and portable Plexiglas to interview clients. We used all the necessary disinfectants and PPEs. We were there from 9 to 5 and assisted close to 30 residents,” she added. Vicari, who is the liaison to the Office of Senior Services, added, “seniors were grateful that we came out to see them so
they didn’t have to drive into Toms River. Based on the experience of this first event, we are working to expand the MASH program.” Future visits may include representatives from the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs and the Surrogate’s Office. The MASH initiative is unique in the state according to Vicari who said, “no one is doing anything like this on this scale in the state.” “Ocean County is home to more senior citizens than any other county and we are leading the way in providing services to our (Senior - See Page 30)

Sciatica
T
By: Paul Eberle, MS, PT, Whiting Physical Therapist
he Sciatic Nerve is the largest nerve in the body. It begins in the lower back, travels through the buttock and the back of the thigh, divides into two nerves at the knee and ends at your toes. The term “sciatica” refers to a set of symptoms including pain in the low back, buttock, and legs, which can radiate below the knee to the feet and toes. This radiating pain can be experienced in one or both legs along with numbness, tingling and muscle weakness in the hips, knees and ankles. It is important to understand that the term “sciatica” does not describe the specific causes of the radiating pain, which many individuals from their twenties to their nineties experience. There are two common causes of sciatic pain. Sciatic pain is most commonly caused by compression of lumbar or sacral nerve roots as they exit the spinal cord. The most common cause for nerve compression causing sciatica in the younger population is lumbar disc herniation. It has been reported that as high as 90% of all cases of sciatic pain are due to spinal disc herniations which impinge upon the nerve roots where the sciatic nerve originates. The compression or pressing of the nerve roots can cause pain, tingling, muscle weakness, or poor muscle control of the areas supplied by the sciatic nerve. Individuals with lumbar disc herniations, also known as lumbar disc bulges or slipped discs, usually experience increased radiating sciatic pain with forward bending and sitting. Work and daily activities often become limited. Physical therapy and instruction in patient specific exercises to reduce discal nerve impingement and to increase spinal flexibility and core strength have consistently shown to decrease and eliminate sciatic and lumbar pain. The McKenzie approach is a widely used physical therapy regimen. In this approach patients repeatedly perform specific exercises which mechanically reduce the process of disc herniation as discal material (nucleus propulsus) is pressed away from the irritated nerve roots and back toward or into the outer casing of the disc (annulus fibrosus). Treatment then focuses on strengthening postural muscles of the spine and trunk to
limit the possibility of symptom recurrence. The second most common cause of sciatic pain is lumbar spinal stenosis. Most people with lumbar spinal stenosis are over the age of fifty. It is estimated that more than 400,000 people in the United States have leg and/or lower back pain which is attributed to lumbar stenosis. The term stenosis means “choking” and is the result of the spinal cord or nerve roots being compressed within the spinal column. Stenosis is often the result of joint and disc degeneration. Sciatica from lumbar spinal stenosis usually progresses slowly and often becomes more severe with time. The low back pain and radiating buttock or leg pain will often subside for periods but, unfortunately, will often return. In most cases people with lumbar stenosis have pain with standing, walking and transitioning from a sitting to a standing position. This is due to the fact that when the lumbar spine is extended or straight, the nerve roots have less room as they exit the spinal cord and can be compressed. Patients with lumbar stenosis usually have relief when sitting and often prefer to stand with a slouched posture which reduces nerve compression and pain. The exercise prescription for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis focuses on increasing flexibility in the spine and legs and maximizing patient walking and daily activity tolerance without worsening pain. Patients are often not able to tolerate exercise in the standing position due to the irritation of tight muscles; therefore focus is initially on loosening up those muscles to decrease symptoms. Once symptom reduction begins, the patient can usually tolerate exercises to strengthen the lower extremities, spine and trunk in positions, notably standing, where they had experienced pain during the day. The goal is to have the patient be able to perform exercises and stretches which allow them to increase their tolerance to walking and standing activities. The third most common cause of sciatica is piriformis syndrome. In the past it was believed to cause approximately 6% of reported cases of sciatica, however recent EMG studies have shown that piriformis syndrome may be a more common source of sciatica. The sciatic nerve runs deep through the buttocks just beneath the
piriformis muscle. In 10 to 15% of individuals however, it is believed the nerve runs directly through the muscle. These individuals may be at an increased risk of piriformis syndrome. Patients with piriformis syndrome usually feel worse in seated positions, as increased pressure is placed on the sciatic nerve. This is often exacerbated in individuals who sit on their wallet. Common causes are overexercising and prolonged sitting and it appears to be more common in women. Buttock and sciatic pain resulting from piriformis syndrome respond well to physical therapy when properly diagnosed and treated. Physical therapy treatment begins with a thorough evaluation of the hip joint and spine followed by specific manual therapy techniques performed by an experienced therapist. The goal of physical therapy treatment is to allow the piriformis muscle to relax and lengthen, relieving the pressure on the sciatic nerve. Modalities including moist heat and ultrasound often assist in allowing the piriformis muscle to relax. Once pain levels are reduced, specific patient exercises and stretches can be taught, allowing patients to control and eliminate their sciatica. PAUL EBERLE, MS, PT

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari is “furious” that seniors suffering through the continued economic crisis ignited by COVID-19 will receive only a 1.3 percent increase in their 2021 Social Security benefits. Vicari said, it was, “outrageous and inconceivable that in this economic emergency our seniors are receiving such a paltry increase. It is totally unacceptable and an insult to every senior citizen who relies on Social Security.” Ocean County is home to more than 173,000 senior citizens, many of whom depend entirely on their monthly Social Security checks. “A senior citizen living alone receives only about a $1,400 monthly benefit,” Vicari said. He added that a “widow or widower living by themselves would see their che ck i nc r e a s e ve r y sl ig ht ly f r om $1,434 to $1,453. The modest increase does not come close to matching rising costs.” “In the past few months alone we have seen Jersey Central Power & Light raise their rates by almost $10 a month. That was followed by toll increases on the Garden State Parkway and a 10-cent per gallon hike in the gas tax. How much more will our seniors be forced to endure?” Vicari asked. Beyond rising costs, the pandemic has also led to a higher cost for food. “Both food and essential household

goods like paper towels have increased by more than 1.3 percent in the past year. In no way does this cost-of-living increase take into account the continued impact of COVID-19,” Vicari added. The Freeholder Director wrote letters to Senators Cory Booker and Robert Menendez, along with the cou nt y’s Congressional delegation demanding additional funding for Social Security. “On behalf of the nearly 200,000 older adults that call Ocean County home, I ask that you do everything in your power to provide additional funding for Social Security. Funding that must be passed along to our most vulnerable senior citizens,” Vicari stated in his letter. Vicari also sent a letter directly to the White House. “The cost of living adjustment over the last six years has averaged only about 1.3 percent. In some years, there has been no increase at all. It is important that our seniors receive an ample benefit from a program most have paid into all of their working days,” Vicari said. Seniors will see the few extra dollars starting with their January 2021 benefit checks. Vicari added, “facing continued economic hardships, our seniors are forced to make decisions on whether to pay to keep a roof over their head or purchase life sustaining medications. No one should have to face making that kind of decision.”

Continued From Page 24 older adults,” Vicari added. The mobile program is even more important as the COVID-19 crisis continues to grip the county and the nation. “The ongoing pandemic has been devastating to our senior communities. Besides the physical threat of contracting the illness, many of our seniors have been dealing with stress and other psychological issues, including loneliness,” Vicari said. Vicari stressed that once the pandemic eases, MASH will remain. “when the communities open up and allow indoor activities, we would hold the event inside their clubhouses with all of the necessary safety precautions” Until that time, work is continuing on the logistics of holding mobile events as the
weather turns colder. Both tents and possibly a bus have been discussed, but no decision has yet been made. The key is we will continue to bring our services to our seniors,” Vicari said. “Asking them to physically come to our office for an appointment was challenging for many seniors because of their age, frailty, loss of license and mobility before the pandemic. Now they have the additional risk of infection and serious health complications whenever they venture out, especially to indoor office buildings that are frequented by the public,” Vicari said. “What good are all of our programs if those that need them most cannot access them? MASH will allow us to bring the services to them,” Vicari said. The Office of Senior Services is open and available to assist residents by phone. The office can be reached at 732-929-2091.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of oct 24 - oct 30 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Enjoy being playful and passionate. Your romantic partner may be more affectionate than usual. You may find yourself focused on winning a competition or too eager to take risks in the upcoming week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your social calendar could fill up. You might even be forced to pick and choose between events. You may be in demand for parties, presentations or as a personal companion in the week to come. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Explore the latest trends and treasures with a special someone, but remember you must eventually head back to normal life. The week ahead may offer plenty of excitement and open your eyes to a realm of possibilities. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Run your home base like a business. Keep receipts in a safe place and focus on sensible financial strategies. Loved ones and partners should cheerfully cooperate with all your ideas. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As this week unfolds, an opportunity could appear that will help you reach an important objective. Enjoy pleasant companions and use your good taste to purchase items that upgrade your surroundings. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This is a good time to reach a compromise or offer concessions that make everyone happy. With gentle Venus in your sign, you’re likely to enjoy the
company of others wherever you go. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Glamor and romance are in abundant supply. A loved one might expect some pampering, although your thoughts may be focused on creating dollars as the week begins. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Unfiltered opinions could shock people who may be surprised at excess bluntness. Consider matching your content to the company. The week ahead could contain a few surprises for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As this week begins, you may be filled with a spirit of cooperation and inspired to help others without being asked. Watch your spending, as there may be extra demands on your resources. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This is likely a good time to mend fences, ask for favors and forgive someone. Some members of your household might be in the mood for impetuous fun. Avoid dust-ups that may occur later in the week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Ask for someone’s opinion before taking further steps. If tactics are based on sound principles, your actions will be more profitable. In the upcoming week, someone may not understand your actions. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you wait to make a key decision, a helpful friend could intervene with wise advice. You might even learn that it’s not necessary or strategic to jump in headfirst where love or money is concerned.
