By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – Cedric Derecho is still just a college student but the book he co-wrote with Eric San Juan focuses on historical events that took place long before either of them were born. The authors’ book Images of “America Lakehurst Borough and Manchester Township” was released earlier this fall just in time for next year’s Centennial Celebration of the borough. “It is good timing for this book. Since I was a little kid, I’ve been fascinated with Lakehurst history,” Derecho said. He is 21 years old and has lived in Lakehurst since 2005. The book was scheduled to come out back in June but was delayed due to the pandemic. It came out last month instead. Derecho was surprised that the publisher had not already put out a book focusing on the two historic towns in Ocean County. “When I found out that they hadn’t I contacted Eric and we became the first.” “I’m a student at Rutgers University in my junior year right now. I’m a history major and a political science minor. We both collaborated together on most of the book,” Derecho said. He noted that there were differences in the borough and Manchester Township. “I would say that the center of (Authors - See Page 10)

Officials: Protect Your Family From COVID This Holiday
By Alyssa Riccardi OCEAN COUNTY – Although a possible pending vaccine may be on its way for COVID-19, the Ocean County Health Department is urging residents to still follow precautions. Recently, many states are experiencing a spike in COVID-19 cases. The public health community
is reminding people that the pandemic isn’t over and individuals should still take caution. “We have to be very careful of a late stage increase in cases despite the news of a pending a COVID-19 vaccine,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “You’ve heard the public
health community say this a lot recently but everyone has got to stay the course and continue to adhere to all the safety precautions especially as people head indoors with the cooler weather and the holiday season fast approaching.” Currently, Ocean County is recovering from a recent surge (Holiday - See Page 10)

Report Lists All Natural Resources In Town
Local Author’s New Book Looks At Lakehurst’s Past
In This Week’s Edition
BREAKING NEWS @
MICROMEDIA PUBLICATIONS
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – Members of the Township Environmental Commission recently discussed their first glimpse at a document outlining Manchester’s many natural resources. The Natural Resource Inventory (NRI) serves as a comprehensive update to one prepared in 1992 which was last updated in 2005. This NRI is prepared on behalf of the Manchester Township Environmental Commission and the Manchester Township Council by Heyer Gruel & Associates. There are two important benefits included in the NRI, one being that it provides a point-intime snapshot of the environmental resources and features that exist in a community. It is not a policy statement or a plan. It is a list of the resources in the community and will also ser ve as a compre-
hensive source of information related to a community’s environment. The NRI will inform the public and municipal off icials, catalogs the unique ecolog y of a place, and assists in tracking changes over time. Beyond its informational value, the real b e nef it of a n N R I comes through its use as a planning tool, utilized by the community to evaluate, and possibly revise planning documents, policy initiatives, and local ordinances to better protect existing natural resources and to improve the health of the natural environment. It was designed to serve as a useful tool for the township’s Environmental Commission, Planning Board, Zoning Board and governing body as well as to the public at large. NRIs are often the basis for resource protection (Resources - See Page 4)
Ballots And Books Mixed Up By Residents
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – To say this year’s election has been confusing, emotional and unique would be a bit of an understatement. A small sign affixed to a library book return box at the Manchester branch of the Ocean County Library was seen recently that points out some confusion that
has never occurred before this year regarding books, ballots and drop boxes. The sign warns those seeking to place their ballots in one of the 17 drop boxes set up around Ocean County by the county’s Board of Elections should make sure they drop them off there because “this (Ballots - See Page 7)

to guide land use planning and could improve the likelihood of successful long-term land development because it would assist the formulation of policies that balance environmental realities with the needs of human settlement according to the draft NRI that the commission has been reviewing. “I read it cover to cover a couple times but I will probably have to read it a couple more times because it has a lot of information especially about well head and forest areas,” Commission member Mary Demarest Paraan said during the commission’s recent Zoom meeting. The draft document’s mixed use of metric and English units was a pet peeve of commission member Bill Foor. “As you go through it, it was apparent it was a paste and cut job and no one took the time to clean that up. I was also disappointed by the sections about the base over here, Naval Engineering Station hasn’t existed for almost 20 years.” “I did find it very informative though,” Foor said adding that there was need to verify some of the information included in the draft. Commission member Rory Wells asked for more time to review the draft. “I’m not sure what is not in there that maybe should be or if there should be an expanded section on the animals or those sorts of things. I’m glad we have it. Having it is better than nothing.”
Peggy Middaugh, the chairwoman of the environmental commission stressed that “this is our fi rst look at it so we have time. We are going to look at how we can get a public process together so they can give their comments and we provide those comments and get another draft back.” “This will be used for input into the (Township) master plan which is being reviewed for at least a couple of months. We have some time to get these comments back to reread it and delve into it more,” Middaugh said. “There are people out there in the public that have information about this that we don’t who might have more experience looking at these kinds of reports or even the natural resources out there such as plants and animals that they are familiar with out there,” Middaugh added. “I know I don’t have the background to really comment on the accuracy of this thing and if we can get the input of those who this is their business that would be excellent,” Foor said. Middaugh noted that the document included a map which showed where endangered species were. “It looked like everything was endangered species except for a few that weren’t but most of it was this green color that said endangered and I have a hard time believing that this is accurate.” She also had some questions about contamination sites listed in the draft. “One was listed on Lacey Road in the Whiting Shopping Center, it is an active site.” Middaugh recommended that secretary Lauren Frazee send the items identified
for correction to the consultant so they could be amended prior to the NRI being presented to the public for their input. “We probably need to have the consultant with us for a meeting to talk to them about it so we can ask them questions.,” Foor pointed out that due to conditions of their budget which would only allow for one meeting with the consultant, it would be better to have them visit the commission after comments were provided by residents. The NRI draft will be available for viewing on the township website so the public can review it. There will be a meeting that will seek public input on the draft in December or January. When Manchester prepared its initial NRI in 1992, it was prior to the development of geographic information systems (GIS) and available federal, state, county and local GIS data. In 2005, the NRI was updated to provide environmental resource mapping and data pertaining to habitat for threatened and endangered species, known contaminated sites, areas subject to the 300-foot buffer rule (as defi ned in the state stormwater management rules), surface water quality standards and well head protection areas. Members of the commission noted in the NRI draft that it is intended to meticulously compile and update all data sources used in the preparation of the 1992 and 2005 NRIs to better inform land use policy and to base land use decision-making with an understanding of the underlying environmental conditions upon which all development occurs.

Ballots:
Continued From Page 1 is not a drop box.” The sign was placed on the return box for books and media which a few people mistakenly used for their ballots. It hasn’t happened to any great frequency according to a librarian at the branch who elected to be anonymous as the branch manager was not in at the time. “I don’t think it is many at all. I do know that the vice a versa has also happened.” She added, “we had people put books in the ballot box and I had to call the Election Board to let them know.’” In the instance where a ballot was accidentally placed in the book drop box which somewhat resembles the ballot drop off box, “I had the situation today and I did call the Election Board and they told me what to do. I called them and let them know we had a ballot here ‘what do I do?’ and she said, ‘drop it in the drop box’,” the librarian said. “It is very logical,” she added as some might think the procedure would be to send the ballots to the Clerk’s office or the Board of Election office but the simple direct approach was exactly what was called for in this rare situation. Concerns regarding the nearly all mail-in procedure have been high for this first time use of the system which was called for by Gov. Phil Murphy due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which delayed this year’s primary by a month and also utilized a primarily mail in system. As for the mistaken ballot incidents, “I guess it is a common mistake. There haven’t been many,” the librarian added. She said that the addition of the reminder sign was “an individual thing at the branches that have a ballot drop box. Not every branch that has a drop off box may have
The Manchester Times, November 7, 2020, Page 7 put out a sign. “We operate in a senior community and people were pulling up to the side of the building instead of the front and trying to get into the side door thinking that the ballot box was inside instead of outside,” she said. “That has been an issue so I think that was one of the reasons the sign was put up and written that way,” she added. Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella said he had not heard of the few cases of ballots in the book return but “I’m sure the library will make us aware of it or the Board of Elections.” He noted that election workers had been had the Mancini Building in Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library to assist voters with the process of their ballots and they then dropped off their sealed and completed ballots into the drop off box outside the building. “We have 17 drop boxes throughout the county. It had not been brought to my attention that anyone put a ballot in a library drop box. The library workers can’t go into a ballot drop box the Board of Elections people are the only ones who can go into the drop box but they don’t have the authority to go into a library drop box,” the Clerk said. He said he was confident that any misplaced ballot would be brought to the attention of the Board of Elections right away and put into a ballot drop box. “The County Clerk’s Office has nothing to do with the drop boxes it is the Board of Elections. “The drop boxes are camera monitored. This is the first I’ve heard of it and we’ve had these drop boxes out since September. There is so much misinformation, rumors and stuff on social media. I’ve never seen an election with so many rumors and misinformation out there,” the Clerk added.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Opioid Prevention And Education Provides Path To Living Drug-Free The state of New Jersey has been struck significantly by problems surrounding addiction, especially du r i ng the COVID-19 lockdowns. During April and May, there were an estimated 500 drug-related deaths within the state. Unfortunately, many of these overdose deaths are linked to opioids. Much has been done within the state regarding prevention, such as education campaigns and overdose prevention. The New Jersey Attorney General is launching a webinar series on opioid addiction during the COVID-19 pandemic. A
collaboration between the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey and Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, and The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey - created an initiative to address the opioid epidemic through community outreach, prescriber education, parent education, and statewide media campaigns. Campaigns such as these have proven effective with bringing awareness, yet the goal should also be to help an opioid addict become drug-free through proper rehabilitation. However, the pandemic did not make anything easier and increased the vulnerability of those
who were already vulnerable. It was a difficult time for addicts and anyone in recovery to access help and support. The problems with opioids and the pandemic created the perfect storm, and the state managed these two issues the best way they knew how based on the information they had. The goal of prevention and education should also highlight a clear, accessible path to treatment and drug-free living while educating on how to prevent overdose. Between the beginning of January and the end of April in 2020, there have been over 1,000 suspected overdose deaths in the
state. During that same time, there were over 1.2 million opioid prescriptions dispensed. The Jour nal of the American Medical Association published an article about the association of opioids prescribed to a family member with opioid overdose among adolescents and young adults. There is a significant increase in risk in overdose among young adults and adolescents, which is why prevention and education are essential. Many of these issues with opioids begin at a young age, which is an ideal time to receive rehabilitation, become drugfree, and work on long-term
sobriety. The study found a twofold increase in the risk of overdose to family members with opioid prescriptions also a six-fold increase in risk for prescriptions given to youth. Concurrent exposure to prescriptions for family members and youth were associated with a 13fold increase in overdose risk. Overdose prevention is important, and it has saved lives, but it is a combination of methods that should strive toward drugfree living. As a society, we have become reliant on medication to maintain sobriety resulting in a cycle of addiction, medication
replacement, and further withdrawal management. Unfortunately, more recovering addicts are struggling to stop methadone, buprenorphine, and other similar medications. The efforts being taken by the state, and the Attorney General regarding opioid prevention and education are essential to curbing the opioid epidemic. However, it is crucial for treatment providers and advocates not to lose sight - living drug-free and not being chained to medication for sobriety.
the financial struggles that are being introduced by the pandemic, having college tuition as an additional expense makes it twice as hard for some families. One of the worst costs in college that has been rising over recent years is the cost of college supplies. On average, these cost $1,400 per year for college students, and often don’t even have much use. Textbooks and access codes are a major part of this problem. The solution to this problem is Open Education Resources, also known as OER. OER is of the same quality as regular textbooks, and it is free. When a professor chooses to use OER instead of traditional, expensive textbooks, they are saving the students in their class from spending money on something that some professors require and never use. OER can provide the same quality of material for absolutely no cost. If professors just switch to this, it will save students a fortune altogether.
Stop Fighting Trump And Move Forward
Nickolaus Hayes Addicted.org.
Letters To The Editor What If Obama Did What Trump Does? What if Obama had called soldiers who died in Vietnam “losers” and “suckers?” What if Obama had downplayed a pandemic, killing hundreds of thousands and sinking the economy? What if Obama promoted Goya products from the White House? It’s illegal because presidents can’t endorse companies. What if Obama held a campaign stop from the White House pretending it was a press conference?
What if Obama had golfed at one of his properties, and made a lot of money? What if Obama had given his kids jobs? What if Obama had talked badly about women and every single minority group? The short answer is that Obama wouldn’t have done any of these things. But here we are. And Republicans are letting Trump do all of these things. And the Democrat leaders in the House are letting him get away with it, too. Tonya Smith Toms River

Not A Racist Country I watch our country being tor n apart by this false nar rative that we are a racist country. People with com mon sense need to unite against these race terrorists! Our weak governor who absolutely has no backbone decided during his COVID report to say without any other information that another black man was shot by a police officer with no other context! He then said that the systemic racism has to stop. These weak politicians like our governor fuels the fl ames of hate. I beg people to stand up to this fake narrative and push back on every media platform. We are not racist. Black Americans are not dying at the hands of the police at an alarming rate. It’s a lie!

It’s Your Tax Dollar Candidate Harris said in the VP debate that Can-
did ate Biden will, and I quote: “on d ay one,” repeal /st r i ke dow n the Trump tax cuts that went to Americans in every tax bracket. When Biden and Harris are finished with the so-called top 1%, they are coming for the rest of us. Many presidential candidates have fooled Americans about promising no taxation, and then doing just that when in office. Former President Clinton is an example of this.

Liberals wanna keep complaining that the country wasn’t prepared (for COVID-19), well maybe if you hadn’t spent the last 3 years on worthless investigations, impeachment hearings and forcing the President to defend himself against a brand new manufactured allegation every single day and trying to find a way to remove a President that the people elected then we would be prepared. Imagine what you could have accomplished if you had done your damn job instead of acting like spoiled children. Imagine how strong and prepared our country would be if you had worked with this President all along. Stop complaining because we don’t blame Trump, we blame you! Trump did his damn job and he did it well, you failed not him. Americans sure could use those hundreds of millions of dollars right about now that you wasted on all those investigations and impeachment. Tommy Dean Lacey

Continued From Page 1 where everything was going on a century ago was essentially in Lakehurst but Manchester had its own section of small communities like Whiting and Ridgeway and we tried to focus equally on all of that. We wanted to give a sense of what Manchester was like as well. Without Lakehurst you wouldn’t have Manchester and without Manchester you wouldn’t have Lakehurst. They are intertwined,” the author said. Derecho added, “we really focused things like the Pine Tree Inn, the railroad and even a bit on the Russian Proving Ground.” A Russian embassy was present in the borough from 1915 to 1917 and then it was bought out by the U.S. Army. “It was later used by the U.S. Navy which is why we have Naval station there,” Derecho said. He noted that while the name Lakehurst is almost immediately identifiable with the Hindenburg disaster, it has a rich history beyond that. “There are so many images out there on the Lakehurst Air Naval Station and we did talk about all the air ships, zeppelins and Navy blimps so we really tried to focus on the town itself and neighborhoods like Pine Lake Park, the retirement communities plus Lakehurst itself. Pretty much everything outside of the airship is in this book,” Derecho said. The author thanked the cooperation and generosity of the Lakehurst Historical Society. “They were a big help in providing the bulk of our photos. Many of these photos have been rarely published or seen. Eric and I were going through boxes in the back of the museum revealing photos that I had never seen and that he had never seen and we knew people would like to see these rarely seen photos.” Derecho said that the photos “provide a snap shot of what the town was like a century ago.” He added that what surprised him
most in researching both towns is that they were “so very different from each other, they were also very much the same. Even back then it was a working-class community just how it is today.” “There were differences in that there was railroad and a luxury hotel like the Pine Tree Inn. Things like that aren’t around anymore and the fact that 50,000 to a 100,000 people would flock to the Naval Air Station to watch the zeppelin landing yet the makeup of the character of the town hasn’t changed all that much even after all of those things had left,” he added. Derecho also noted the importance of the borough’s lake and how people would ice skate there and walk along the nature path. He noted the borough’s founder William Tory “who was responsible for bringing industry into the area. There was already a bog iron furnace in the late 1700s. When that was abandoned it was empty for a number of years until Tory brought the railroad and later the rope industry.” Like all towns, some of its history features a few skeletons in the closet and for Lakehurst it was the Giberson murder that occurred on Union Avenue circa 1922-23. “She (Ivy Giberson) killed her husband (William Giberson) over a lover and tied herself to a chair and said someone else did it. She blamed it on a robber. She received a life sentence but served only 10 years or something along those lines,” Derecho said. A famous fire in the town is covered in the book. “We have three photos of the rope factory fire from 1911. These photos were never published before. The photos were taken the day after the fire. Derecho said the entire process to write the book began over a year ago. “We began in May of last year and we didn’t finalize it until a year later.” He said he is happy that the book is out at last and looks forward to working with the Lakehurst Historical Society regarding any plans to utilize the book during the borough’s big 100th anniversary celebration in 2021.

Continued From Page 1 in cases. Between October 14 and October 28, Ocean County averaged 64 new daily cases with the exception of one day back on October 18. New Jersey is also experiencing a rise in cases. “Ocean County has experienced a couple of positive weeks as far as cases,” explained Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Depar tment (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator/Health Officer. “I think people in Ocean County realized we needed to be more vigilant with safety measures and we’ve had more people getting tested. The Ocean County COVID-19 Drive Thru Test site at Ocean County College has tested 10,877 residents so far in 31 weeks. The goal is to keep the downward trend going as we shift back indoors and people come together for holiday parties, shopping, religious services and other gatherings.” With the holidays around the corner, the CDC has provided the following low risk tips to follow this holiday season: • Preparing traditional family recipes for family and neighbors, especially those at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19, and delivering them in a way that doesn’t involve contact with others. • Having a virtual dinner and sharing recipes with friends and family. • Shopping online rather than in person. • Watching sports events, parades, and
movies from home. • Maintain a distance of at least 6 feet or more from people you don’t live with. Be particularly mindful in areas where it may be harder to keep this distance, such as restrooms and eating areas. • Avoid using restroom facilities at high traffic times, such as at the end of a public event. • Avoid busy eating areas, such as restaurants during high volume mealtimes, if you plan to eat out at a restaurant. • Minimize gestures that promote close contact. For example, do not shake hands, bump elbows, or give hugs. Instead wave and verbally greet others. • Wear a mask at all times when around people who don’t live in your household to reduce the risk of spreading the virus. • Avoid singing, chanting, or shouting, especially when not wearing a mask and within 6 feet of others. • Get a flu shot. “Everybody has to make their own choice but we ask people to think about their health and the health of others during this festive time of year,” Regenye added. “If you haven’t received a flu shot yet, then now is the time. It won’t keep you from getting the coronavirus but it will help alleviate the burden on our health care system by reducing the number of people getting sick from influenza.” For more information regarding OCHD Flu Clinics, visit ochd.org.

Toms River Boy Becomes Honorary Draft Pick For NJ Devils
By Alyssa Riccardi TOMS RIVER – The New Jersey Devils made a fan’s dream come true when they surprised 13-year-old Reilly as an honorary New Jersey Devil. Make-A-Wish partnered up with the New Jersey Devils to make Reilly Hoagland the honorary draft pick for the season. Reilly was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of four and continues to combat the life-threatening medical condition. Although Reilly is fighting his illness, he is a talented athlete and hockey player. He plays right wing for the Toms River Blackhawks, wearing the number 8 on his jersey. Being a lifelong fan of the New Jersey Devils, he knew his wish would be to become a New Jersey Devil. Due to COVID-19 concerns, Make-AWish had to alter any travel-related or large gathering wishes for kids and families.
Bird Rehabilitator Shares Some Tales By Judy Smestad-Nunn TOMS RIVER - For 38 years, Donald Bonica, 72, has been rehabilitating injured birds at his Toms River Avian Care facility, located in the backyard behind his home that sits on a one-acre property off Church Road. As one of only a handful of certified wildlife rehabilitators in the state, Bonica is currently caring for a number of birds of prey in his hospital that has about 15 flying cages. The raptors currently include five red-tailed hawks, a peregrine falcon, a great horned owl, two osprey and a Cooper’s hawk. NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife had just delivered an endangered black skimmer to Bonica, which was suffering from malnutrition, likely resulting from competition for food with its siblings. The black skimmer is a seabird, similar to a tern. The first thing Bonica typically does with an injured or sick bird is treat it for stress or shock, rehydrate it with IV fluids, and warm the animal up if it’s winter. He has a temperature-controlled greenhouse which serves as an emergency room where he can perform surgery and keep the injured animals until they can eat on their own. The only greenhouse occupant on a recent day was the black skimmer, which Bonica was force feeding with a tube, four times a day. When the low-flying seabird regained some of its strength he planned to offer the bird some minnow. “I’ll take any species, but I’m slowing down,” said Bonica, who suffers from arthritis. “I used to admit 1,000 birds a year, and during the busy season I get 20 to 30 calls a day.” With help from his wife, Karen, who (Bird - See Page 24)
These wishes, though, are never cancelled. Make-A-Wish was able to grant Reilly’s wish by visiting him at his home in Toms River. The New Jersey Devils, with mascot “NJ” and Devils alumni Bruce Driver and Grant Marshall showed up and surprised him with a contract, his own jersey, and a special video message from Tom Fitzgerald, General Manager and Executive Vice Pres-
ident of the New Jersey Devils. The video message addressed Reilly being selected in the draft and welcoming him onto the team. “It’s overwhelming, it’s an honor to be a part of an organization that I’ve been following since I was three years old,” Reilly said. “Instead of dreaming to be a Devil, it’s now fun that I am a Devil now.” Reilly thanked his parents for telling him
to keep going and keep fighting through cystic fibrosis. He also thanked his CF doctor for keeping him healthy, allowing him to play hockey and making the smart decisions of when he can and can’t play. “The odds were against me, but the way I think about it, don’t listen to the odds just reach and reach and reach and you’ll get there.”

State Mandates Workplace COVID-19 Safety Rules
By Alyssa Riccardi NEW JERSEY – Due to a recent increase in COVID-19 cases, New Jersey has mandated that private and public employers need to implement uniform health and safety standards to prevent and protect workers against the coronavirus. On October 28, Governor Phil Murphy signed an executive order requiring employers to follow protocols as of November 5. The guidelines are as followed: • Workers to keep at least 6 feet from each other “to the maximum extent possible.â€? • Workers and visitors to wear a face mask, with limited exceptions. • Employers to provide masks to workers at the company’s expense. • Employers to provide workers, customers, and visitors with sanitizing materials at the company’s expense. • Employers to conduct daily health checks of workers, such as temperature screenings, visual symptom checking, and more. • Employers to notify workers when there is possible exposure to the virus. • Employers to provide workers with breaks throughout the day to wash their hands. • Employers. to routinely clean and disinfect frequently touched areas in accordance to state and federal guidelines. The state Labor Department has also created an online complaint form for workers to submit so that the department and the state Health Department can investigate
protocols. Safety training will be included within the protocol for employers. Murphy stated how the state needed to create the standards because the federal government has not established federal guidelines. New Jersey is now the only state in America to “leverage its public sector-only jurisdiction to protect workers in the private sector from COVID-19,� state Labor Commissioner Robert Asaro-Angelo said. “We now have the essential tools and resources we need to ensure businesses are operating safely, and our economy is moving forward,� Asaro-Angelo added. “By protecting New Jerseyans in the workplace, we are lessening the health risks to families and communities. As more people return to work, the high standards we have set today will be critical in maintaining our public health.� The Protect NJ Workers Coalition led a six-month campaign urging Murphy to take action to protect employees against COVID-19. The new order came as a result of the campaign and also due to a rise in cases. 1,682 more positive tests and 14 more deaths have occurred in New Jersey for COVID-19 while 1,010 patients hospitalized with confirmed or suspected cases. State officials stated how this is the 11th straight day of more than 1,000 new cases, this occurring for the first time since early July.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE USDA Forest Service Seeks Comments On Rule Change
AS THE LEADING RESOURCE FOR SENIOR VETERANS WE WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE APPROVAL PROCESS
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In alignment with the Secretarial Memorandum issued by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, the USDA Forest Service is proposing a rule change that would allow greater flexibility in handling cases of unauthorized or excess livestock grazing on national forests and grasslands. The proposed rule would help ensure sustainable grazing on national forests and grasslands by recognizing the importance of America’s grazing heritage as a conservation tool and an economic resource. It would allow for nonmonetary settlement when unauthorized or excess grazing is unintentional. The Forest Service is requesting public comment on the proposed rule change. “The Forest Service remains committed to ensuring that our approach to resolving excess and unauthorized grazing is fair, flexible, and straightforward,” said USDA Forest Service Chief Vicki Christiansen. “These changes allow us to be flexible and to consider each situation, and take into account the honest efforts of ranchers who do their best to uphold their responsibilities
on grazing lands.” The revisions would align Forest Service policy with the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management, and follow the recommendations laid out in the 2016 Government Accountability Report, “Unauthorized Grazing: Actions Needed to Improve Tracking and Deterrence Efforts.” The Forest Service administers over six thousand active permits for livestock grazing on lands managed by the agency. These lands supply a vital source of forage for domestic livestock, especially in the western United States where ranching is a critical part of the economy and a way of life for rural communities. The proposed rule change is intended to support responsible livestock management while also deterring unauthorized use in a manner that is consistent with other public land management agencies. The public comment period on the proposed revisions to 36 CFR 222.50(h) will remain open for 30 days. The proposed rule, along with instructions on how to comment, can be found in the Federal Register.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE NJ Creates “Lock It or Lose It” Public Awareness Campaign
By Alyssa Riccardi NEW JERSEY – Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal and the Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor (OIFP) recently announced the “Lock It or Lose It” public campaign, a campaign to bring awareness to residents to not leave their cars unlocked with the key fob inside. With the increase in vehicle thefts, especially high-end ones, the campaign wants to counter the steady increase in luxury vehicle thefts that cost the insurance industry billions of dollars each year nationwide in claim payouts and investigative costs. Soon “Lock It or Lose It’ ads will appear all over the state as a reminder to residents to lock their car. “Auto theft isn’t just for joyriding anymore. It could be a critical fi rst step in the commission of much more serious crimes like murder and robbery,” said Attorney General Grewal. “We want people to realize that carelessly leaving their key fobs in their unlocked cars or leaving their cars running and unattended is an open invitation to car thieves who need a vehicle to carry out their criminal agenda.” According to the New Jersey State Police, from January through September a total of 7,131 autos were reported stolen statewide, 4.4 percent fewer than reported during the same period in 2019. However, high-end auto thefts climbed 7.5 percent to 1,501. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states that between 40 and 50 percent of vehicle theft is due to driver error, which includes leaving vehicle doors unlocked and leaving keys or fobs inside. “Ironically, car thieves are stealing vehicles that are equipped with advanced anti-theft technology, but that technology is rendered useless when owners make the decision to leave key fobs inside their cars. This careless behavior encourages criminals to look for easy targets,” said Colonel Patrick J. Callahan, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police. “The consequences of car theft are multifaceted. Stolen vehicles are often used in the commission of crimes, and the astronom-
ical costs to insurance companies affect the insurance premiums of policyholders. A vast amount of car thefts can be avoided by simply locking your vehicles and keeping fobs in a safe location.” “From the minute a car is reported stolen, the meter starts ticking for insurance companies whose fi rst order of business is to conduct an investigation to determine that the claim is legitimate and not an attempt to illegally obtain a payout through fraud,” said Acting Insurance Fraud Prosecutor Thompson. “And any injuries or damages a car thief causes to people or property after driving off with your stolen car is likely to be borne by insurance providers, which translates to higher premiums for you. That’s something to consider before leaving your car unlocked and vulnerable to car thieves. Are you willing to pay the price?” Vehicle theft is now being viewed as a contributing factor in violent crime nationwide. These thefts can be a part of untold crimes of violence. With the number of thefts growing, law enforcement agencies are looking to change that. “As director of Newark’s Department of Public Safety, I have encouraged our residents at community meetings and through social media to not leave their cars running unattended because the risk of them being a victim increases when they park near convenience stores, gas stations, vacant lots and in their driveways,” said Newark Police Director Anthony F. Ambrose. “Please make sure your car is turned off and locked before you leave your vehicle. Last year, 25 percent of the cars stolen in the city were left running and unattended.” “While it might be seem harmless to leave your fob or keys in your vehicle, the truth is that you are giving an open invitation to car thieves,” said Paramus Police Chief Kenneth R. Ehrenberg. “Many of these stolen cars are later involved in robberies, homicides and police pursuits which put innocent lives at risk. By taking your fobs and locking your doors you can do your part to help prevent these crimes and help keep our communities safer.”

How Long Do Hearing Aids Last?
There are many confl icting articles focusing on the longevity of hearing aids. In my practice, the average life is between 4-6 years but there are many factors that will impact the lifespan of a hearing aid: How long you wear you’re hearing aids on a daily basis. For example, if you wear your hearing instruments 12 hrs./ day, that equates to 4400 hrs. per year or 20,000 hours over a 5-year period. Frequency of cleaning: We encourage all of our patients to use a soft dry toothbrush to clean the hearing aids on a daily basis. If you fail to do so, the hearing aids will break down frequently. Ask you hearing care professional for AUDIOWIPES as well. Where hearing aids are worn: In general, the ultra-small “custom” hearing aids
have poor reliability statistics and will be replaced 1-2 yrs. sooner than other styles. A person’s body physiology: Many patients create excessive cerumen buildup (wax) and profusely sweat. Sweat creates moisture which commonly invades the circuit and shuts down the hearing aid. An electronic dehumidifier is recommended to dry out the hearing instruments. Frequency of Maintenance: Just like a car needs periodic oil and filter changes, tire rotations, etc. you’re hearing aids should be checked by a hearing healthcare professional at least two times year. If that Practice does not schedule you for these visits in advance, I would go somewhere else. 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!

Unusual Signs Of D Deficiency By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. When talking to your physician it’s critical that you’re as open and forthcoming about your symptoms as possible. Many doctors need to know all your symptoms in order to figure out if they’re connected. This ensures optimal treatment. For example, let’s say you have high blood sugar, frequent skin rashes, erectile dysfunction, a weak urine stream, a perspiring head and bouts of sadness. And then you go to the doctor, but focus on on blood sugar assuming that these other symptoms have nothing to do with your visit. You’ve done yourself a disservice. Why? Because if you focus on blood sugar, your physician will chase it down with conventional pills such as metformin. You will be given instructions for a special diet, and you’ll have to start testing your blood sugar with finger sticks. Nothing is wrong with any of that, but had you mentioned all the other symptoms you deal with, it’s likely your physician would have picked up on a vitamin D deficiency, and suggested that you take D before prescribing all the pills and pricks. A deficiency of D can call all of the symptoms I’ve mentioned plus more. And if you have a good doctor that is truly listening to you, the seemingly random list of symptoms make sense from a broader perspective to them. Furthermore, the treatment you would receive will make a huge difference because it would be nice to clear all your symptoms up by restoring D levels, rather than chasing down the right drug for every symptom you have. Vitamin D receptors grab hold of the activated hormone form of vitamin D and then impacts the expression of about 900 genes! So if D is low (or high) there are literally hundreds of symptoms that you
could experience. Many signs and symptoms of D deficiency get medicated. For example, the “winter blues” results in part from insufficient D and yet, it’s treated with antidepressants. Whether D deficiency is the driving factor, or a contributing factor, it is something that your physician should check. Here are some other unusual signs of D Deficiency in case you are wondering if you have any. It’s not me just saying this, there are randomized, controlled studies that have confirmed the following symptoms and related diseases are associated with insufficient D: • Skin rashes • Heart arrhythmias • Tearfulness • Fatigue • Irritable bowel • Bloating • Fractures • Cognitive decline • Muscle weakness • Neuropathy • Macular degeneration • Wheezing • High blood pressure • Frequent infections If you decide to supplement, it’s a good idea to get your baseline levels of D, and then begin your supplementation. I have a longer version of this article posted at my website in case you’re interested. Even though it’s a nutrient that is sold everywhere, have a practitioner supervise you and test you periodically. Vitamin D is available in two forms, one that is animal (sheep) derived, and one that is plant (moss) derived. There is no difference in terms of how you absorb either version, or what benefits each provide. It really just comes down to personal preference and sustainability.

By Bob Vosseller NEW JERSEY – State law enforcement representatives are seeking to identify and charge drivers who participated in Sunday’s Trump support caravan that backed up parts of the Garden State Parkway for miles, according to NJ State Police Col. Pat Callahan.
Trump Supporters May Be Charged For Blocking Garden State Parkway Col. Callahan said Monday that “when [people] endanger the ways of those traveling on highways and byways, there really are no excuses for it.” His remarks were made during Gov. Phil Murphy’s update concerning COVID-19. “It gave us great cause for concern,” Callahan
added. A few days before Election Day, supporters of President Donald J. Trump came out in strong numbers around the state and paraded through Westchester, NY and north Jersey and in areas of Monmouth and Ocean counties.
Their caravan stopped traffic on the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge and for nearly five miles along the Garden State Parkway. Callahan said that no citations had been issued because doing so would hinder the already-slowed flow of traffic. A portion of the GSP in Holmdel was closed with some supporters on social media declaring “we shut it down” in one video. “If we are able to get enough evidence I would imagine that they would be issued motor vehicle summonses for obstructing traffic.” Other social media reports stated that it was the State Police that closed some of the exit ramps. No response from the NJSP have come in regarding an inquiry about that by JerseyShoreOnline.com. Murphy called the caravan silly and dangerous. “I don’t know what that accomplished,” he said during his press conference. “What happened yesterday put other innocent people who weren’t part of it in harm’s way. Folks are welcome to protest, folks have done a really good job... they didn’t suck in other folks who weren’t part of it,” the governor added. Hundreds of supporters came out to First Energy Park in Lakewood flying Trump and American flags, wearing MAGA (Make America Great Again) hats and T-shirts with decorated vehicles that were part of a multistate event called MAGA Drags. Veterans Park in Berkeley Township was their destination point according to the Trump supporters which also led to a slow down of traffic on Route 9 as vehicles awaited their turn to enter the park. A day earlier, In the northern end of the state a parade of Trump supporters reached Union City with dozens of decorated cars driving down Bergenline Avenue the core hub of the North Hudson County’s Hispanic community. New York authorities are also seeking to identify those who caused delays in that state along the new Tappan Zee Bridge. The San Marcos Police Department in Texas is working with the FBI in an investigation concerning an incident on Friday where a convoy of Trump supporters surrounded a campaign bus of Joe Biden and a vehicle carrying staffers on Friday.
Yes, New Jersey, Santa Claus Will Be At The Mall
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Finally, some good news. Sandwiched between the spooky Halloween season and the potentially terrifying election, a little press release squeaked into news offices across the region: Santa Claus is on his way. The Ocean County Mall will be transformed into a regional North Pole with the big man making his arrival on November 20. Things will be different this season, as the mall has advertised that it will be a socially distanced visit. Santa and his helpers will be wearing masks during the entire visit.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Identifying Nursing Home Abuse And Neglect
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq.and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Nursing Home Abuse can take many forms. It can be intentional, visible, obvious or it can be more subtle-abuse through neglect and general lack of care on the part of nursing home staff. Abuse can be physical, emotional, financial, or even sexual. Each of these takes a heavy toll on any person, but nursing home abuse and nursing home neglect can be especially hard on the elderly -- some of the most vulnerable members of our society. Whatever form nursing home abuse takes, it is urgent that you and your loved one open a dialogue about this extraordinarily sensitive topic. Communication is necessary to end the abuse and let the healing begin. The fi rst step in opening a dialogue is identifying suspected abuse. There are many signs of nursing home abuse that you can look for. The first sign you may notice is a change in behavior. The emotional effects that often accompany abuse can manifest as sluggishness or depression, a lack of enthusiasm for things your loved one once enjoyed, or even a loss of interest in visits. The change in attitude can be significant and sudden, or it may be subtle and prolonged. The most important thing is to be observant and notice if the change is taking place on any level. Of course, it is also possible that signs of abuse will be far more apparent. Physical signs of nursing home abuse or nursing home neglect can take the form of bruises, sores, cuts, scars, or any similar injuries. These may be from simple accidents, but if there is anything suspicious
about the injury, the problem should be addressed immediately. Michael J. Deem, Esq. Suspicious signs might include a reluctance to talk about how the injury occurred or claiming not to remember the cause. Even more obvious signs are bedsores which are a common signs of nursing home neglect. They are painful and, if infected, can be potentially lethal. Statistics show that nearly 50 percent of all nursing homes are short staffed. The staff people who do work in these facilities are underpaid, overworked, and all too often overburdened, which in turn leads to elder neglect and abuse. When abuse or neglect are identified or suspected it is important to notify the authorities and contact a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer to discuss your legal rights. Document any such evidence you observe, and bring it to the attention of the local authorities and your attorney. Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death. Nursing home abuse isn’t limited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways. If you think a loved one is the victim of Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect call the trial attorney’s at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free consultation to discuss their rights.

Bird:
Continued From Page 11 mostly handles phone calls and paperwork, Bonica is certified to perform orthopedic surgery on the birds, such as splinting broken wings, and suturing wounds resulting from fishing hooks, impact injuries, and more. A wing heals in 10 days. The bones are hollow, so keeping them immobile any longer would result in calcification, and the bird would no longer be able to fly, he said. “Anesthesia is a big thing, to inject them,” he said. “It’s difficult to anesthetize a sparrow, but it can be done.” Bonica is uniquely trained as a wildlife rehabilitator: he underwent a two-year apprenticeship and a number of continuing education courses. He has lectured at veterinary schools and universities. “I started with a passion for passerines, or songbirds, and then I progressed to gulls and marshland birds, like herons and egrets, and then I moved on to raptors,” he said. Bonica has several birds that are permanent residents at his facility since they would be unable to live in the wild. One of them, a 35-year-old bald eagle that has lived there for 28 years, is hand-fed by Bonica and gets a daily bath in a nearby tub. The eagle was partly blinded in a fight and can no longer hunt. He keeps the great horned owl as a surrogate mother for orphaned baby owls. She has successfully fostered some 20 motherless owls over the years. The owl has more pressure in its talons than a pit bull has in its jaw, he said. The animal has no peripheral vision, so they are prone to getting hit by cars, he said. The peregrine falcon is a permanent resident since it was born with cataracts. The falcon flies at 225 miles per hour and is the fastest animal in the world, said. Bonica is also treating two seagulls in his hospital, and raised 140 baby mallard ducks this year. “We use the birds to educate people,” he said. “It’s the only way to save these animals.” The raptors eat rats and mice. Bonica orders 10,000 of the rodents at a time from a world-wide pharmaceutical lab who, until recently, was donating the excess inventory of euthanized and sterile lab rats and mice to him. Now the company has found a buyer for the rodents and it has become a money
maker for them. Bonica orders 3,000 frozen cockerel chicks (baby roosters) at a time from a large chicken grower in Pennsylvania. Humans don’t eat the male chicks, so they were previously ground up and used as fertilizer. Eagles eat eight or nine of the chicks a day, and the hawks eat about five. The chicks cost 15 cents a piece. He also buys bird seed, mealworms, corn, duck pellets, and medicine for the birds out of his own pocket, which costs thousands of dollars a year. “It adds up,” said Bonica. “I could use some help - for example, fishermen catch thousands of bunker, and I use six or seven a day at the cost of $1.50 each, so I would love it if they could donate some bunker.” One of his most memorable stories as an avian rehabilitator is about one of the first eagles he treated about 30 years ago, at a time when there were only seven eagles in the state. The eagle had gotten its leg trapped and it was in very bad shape, Bonica said. He consulted with universities and government agencies and they suggested euthanizing the animal. “I amputated part of its leg,” Bonica recalled. “She was here for six months, and then we released her.” About four years later he got a call from the NJ Department of Fish and Wildlife asking if he could come and pick up an injured eagle in south Jersey. He recognized the eagle with the partly amputated leg. It had been lead poisoned and it died in his arms that night. “We gave it three or four more years,” he said. “It bred, and it fulfilled its obligation.” Once a bird is rehabilitated, Bonica brings them to a suitable habitat or close to where they were found. He estimates that he is able to release about 65 percent of the birds that are brought to him. He euthanizes those that can’t be saved. “We can only do so much,” he said. Bonica said he doesn’t know how much longer he plans to run his rehabilitation center. “It’s very costly. The cages could use some repair which could cost $30,000 to $40,000,” he said. “I don’t plan - I’m taking it day by day,” Bonica said. To donate bunker or to help with the cost of caring for the birds, call Toms River Avian Care at 732 255-9270.

−Photo by Bob Vosseller Rev. John Cardello blesses Olea, Lori Sansone’s hearing assistance dog, during the recently held Blessing of the Animals held at the Popcorn Park Zoo in Lacey Township. By Bob Vosseller LACEY – Barking, purring, oinking and other sounds were heard recently during the annual blessing of the animals held at the Popcorn Park Zoo. The ceremony is held each year in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment. Reverend John Cardello, who has served as the chaplain for the Ocean County Humane Society and the Popcorn Park Zoo for the past five years, once again performed the blessing at the service. Visitors brought their pets to the picnic area directly across from the zoo entrance for a blessing. Rev. Cardello also went around to each animal pen to perform a blessing and he was very familiar with the history of most of the animals be they bears, lions, tigers or monkeys. He not only knew their species but in most cases he knew their names. “As to some unusual blessings I have conducted over the years, I always tell people this event is my favorite event of the year because when and where else do I get to pet/ touch tigers, lions, horses, etc. all in one day,” Rev. Cardello said.
“Each October, since I started the program, it has been my honor, privilege and joy to conduct the annual Zoo Animal and Pet Blessing held at the zoo. This event, it is non-sectarian and a free service for those who participate. The Popcorn Park Zoo has, for over 20 years, been a safe refuge for abused, injured and unwanted animals including farm animals, lions, tigers and bears,” Reverend Cardello said. As Zoo chaplain, he has blessed lions (Simba), tigers (Thor and Raj), a Horse (Seven) suffering with pica (an eating disorder brought about by near starvation), shaken hands with a monkey (Konga), and a small goat rescued from sacrifice from a Satanist group. He has also experienced the love and thanks of pit bull who was rescued from being used as a baiting animal for a dog fight ring. “On another note I have delivered last rights to a dying monkey and was proud to deliver the eulogy at the farewell ceremony following the death of a camel named Princess (a long time resident and favorite at the zoo) who had an insatiable fondness for graham (Animals - See Page 31)

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Brick Man Named National Chess Champ
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK − Township chess prodigy, John Burke, 19, was named 2020 U.S. Junior Chess Champion, an elite national championship event hosted by the St. Louis Chess Club in Missouri, which is the chess capitol of the United States. Along with the prestigious title, Burke also won some $20,600 in prizes and a $6,000 scholarship to be used at the institution of his choice. The three-day tournament concluded on October 15 when Burke competed against nine other boys who represented the strongest male chess players in America under
the age of 20. After nine nail-biting rounds, Burke won after a very close match against Jeffrey Xiong. For the first time in American chess history, the 2020 Chess Championships were held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Burke is currently a sophomore at Webster University in St. Louis and agreed to a Zoom interview the day before the tournament started. He said he found his passion at a young age after his grandmother introduced him to chess when he was only four or five years old. One day he was in the Brick Barnes
and Noble with his father when he noticed a book - Chess for Dummies - and asked his father to buy it for him. “I started reading it and became really interested, so from that point on I just basically kept going with it,” he said. “Then one day when I was about eight years old my dad entered me in a tournament - he didn’t tell me he was going to, he just sort of did it - at Brookdale Community College.” Burke wasn’t familiar with tournaments and was very nervous. He lost two of the games, partly because he didn’t know the rules. “I don’t want to make excuses, but there
is a rule in tournament chess which I was not aware of called ‘The Touch Move Rule’ which means if you touch a piece, you have to move it, even if it’s detrimental to you, so because of that I ended up losing the first game,” he said. He continued to participate in local tournaments and eventually his family hired a coach which helped him to improve. For most tournaments, everyone plays the same amount of games, Burke explained. Winners get paired against other winners and the losers get paired against the other losers. As a tournament progresses, players (Chess - See Page 34)

−Photo By Bob Vosseller The Black Poster Project was represented with 263 posters featuring those who died due to their addiction but will always be remembered. By Bob Vosseller BRICK – Two hundred and sixty-three posters featuring photos of people were on display recently at Windward Beach Park. The people in the pictures came from all walks of life, and varied in ages, but all shared one thing in common. The display was not for art but to present, literally, the face of addiction showing these individuals as they truly were. Enjoying hobbies, at family gatherings or milestone events. It was part of the Black Poster Project designed to raise awareness through lives lost to the disease of addiction. The project was described by its founder Dee Gillen as a labor of love created after she experienced the loss of her son, Scott, to a heroin/fentanyl overdose at the age of 27. It began with a simple post just prior to Overdose Awareness Day in 2019. She encouraged other loved ones to share their pictures and it grew. The posters have been on display in various local events. Sometimes it is a full display, and sometimes it is a smaller grouping of photos. Each photo allows people to look at their faces and learn about them. They were daughters, sons, parents, musicians, athletes, performers and more who just wanted to lead happy lives. Among the posters and the family members present for the afternoon program was the family of Misti Autumn Strauss who died on December 11, 2015. “It is beautiful to get awareness out there and to show their lives. They all had beautiful stories. They have booths set up here today that show different resources available,” her mother Ann Strauss of Eatontown said. “People see drug addiction as evil but these people aren’t evil. Many are kids and they are humans and many were in the wrong spot with the wrong people at the wrong time,” she said. “I’m wearing my daughter’s shirt, I’m her voice now,” she added. She said Misti’s addiction problems existed for only around two
years. “I didn’t know and when I found out I tried to help her right away and she tried to help herself too. It overpowers them. She said ‘oh mom I know what I’m doing. I’ll be okay. I know what I’m doing,’ but it got worse.” Misti died at the age of 27. “That is what they say: ‘I got this.’ My daughter got into drugs after she met a boy who tricked her into it and laced her cigarettes. She got out of it, went to rehab and then she met another guy who said just snort this and she was dead two years later,” Gail Sturr, Toms River said. Her daughter Tanya Eileen Sturr died two years ago. “My daughter died at 33,” Sturr said. “She got an infection from shooting the junk in her legs. It went to MRSA and sepsis and later organ failure.” Sturr pointed to another poster, “that’s my sister’s brother-in-law he died in the 70s, Charlie Lagraca. Their nephew died too. He went out on Thanksgiving and came home and lied down and was dead. It affects anyone. There is someone out there that you will know that it has happened to them or their children. It is everywhere.” “This is very emotional,” Sturr added. “It is surreal but it is helpful. She is missed by many. She was a very funny person and had a good personality. She had cleaned up her act for five years and was fine until she met this other guy and that was the end of her. It changed her personality.” Gillen and Sheryl Cashin of Fair Lawn were pleased to see the turnout for the day’s bittersweet event. Gillen said that during an Addiction Awareness event held last year, “the group that was hosting the event offered to do these posters for the families and they made 40 posters back then and then we just kept it going after that. It grew little by little.” “When COVID hit all our community and school events stopped so we came up with quiet memorials. So for overdose awareness month this year and we decided we would go on the road and take silent memorials (Problem - See Page 31)

Animals:
Continued From Page 26 crackers,” Rev. Cardello added. He was accompanied by long-time zookeeper John Bergmann. The reverend was in the zoo’s shelter when Bergmann “asked me to quickly bless a young dog that had been brought in from out of state. The poor dog was so sick, running a fever, unable to stand and eating or drinking only caused her to vomit resulting is severe dehydration.” “I knelt down beside her and spoke to her while gently stroking her head and was rewarded by a feeble wag of her tail. I completed my Blessing (adding an extra prayer and leaving a St. Francis medal on her bed) and proceeded to Bless the other Zoo and shelter animals. Several hours later I returned to the shelter and was approached by Mr. Bergmann. I was told that shortly after the Blessing the sick dog was able to stand and started to take the fluids and food,” Rev. Cardello added. “Sometime later I was informed the she had fully recovered and had been adopted by a family that would give this formally abused dog all the love she would need. Maybe it was just a coincidence or maybe it was something else. I leave it to you to decide but I know what I think,” he added with a smile.
Problem:
Continued From Page 30 to any town that will let us display them,” Gillen added. Gillen said, “on August 1 the display featured 120 posters and now we have 263. People just ask us to do it and we don’t ask for anything from the grieving families because they have been through enough. We rely on outside donations to pay the costs for it and people have been really compassionate about that. We were able to come down to do this here today and it’s great.”
The public blessings began only two years ago and “to date it has not fully caught on. On average we only bless about a half dozen or so pets but hope those numbers will grow over the coming years.” Among those who brought their pets out to blessed was township resident Lori Sansone who brought Olea who is a hearing assistance dog. “I got her a year and half ago. She is a Labrador golden mix. Olea’s puppy raisers got her blessed, so I want to continue that. Besides my blessing deserves a blessing.” Sansone said. “All thing bright and beautiful, all things great and small, fur feathers or scales - for those who have shared and had their lives touched by a beloved pet,” Rev. Cardello said. Bergmann and Rev. Cardello reminded the public that for those who don’t have a pet, the zoo has an animal shelter filled with animals who need homes. For additional information, directions or information regarding the Popcorn Park Zoo call 609 693-1900 or go to the zoo’s web site ahscares.org. The Popcorn Park Zoo is located at 1 Humane Way, in the Forked River section of the township, just off Route 539 west, seven miles from the Garden State Parkway exit/ entrance.
Cashin works with Gillen on the project. “Dee and I met at the cemetery. Our boys were buried a few feet from each other. Dee had asked if I wanted a poster made of my son and I said yes and started helping out. This is our way of getting out to show this side of the story. It is important to put a face to addiction and that it can happen to anyone. The last few years of their lives may have been bad because they were facing addiction but that is not who they were.” Those seeking further information or who wish to support The Black Poster Project can e-mail theblackposterproject@gmail.com or call/text 201-906-9055.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE “Let’s Talk” With Dr. Jani By Michael Vandenberg “ T h e e r a of p ate r n a l i s tic medicine where I’m the doctor, you’re the patient, and you’re going to do this bec ause I say so is long gone,” Dr. Samir Jani said to me recently. “That’s just not the way I was trained.” When it comes to your health, shouldn’t you be in the driver’s seat? That’s certainly the guiding philosophy passed down by Garden State Medic al Center ’s founder, Dr. Dharam Mann, and it’s what makes Dr. Jani the perfect f it here. He wants to use his expertise and impart his knowledge to help you make an informed decision about your pain management. And there’s no question that Dr. Jani has plenty of information to share because he checks all the boxes when it comes to education. At age 17 he was already accepted into a higher education program that included a guaranteed spot in medical school. He kept a high GPA while taking his courses at an accelerated rate that allowed him to finish a year early. Then he jumped right into residencies and a fellowship focusing on pain, anesthesiology, and internal medicine, culminating in his current specialty of Interventional Pain Management. He finished his fellowship and began practicing in 2016, making his way to GSMC the following year. Dr. Jani pointed to a variety of reasons as to why he decided to make the switch to GSMC. For one thing, it fosters a seamless team environment. “The support and infrastructure of the practice is huge,” like the large network of staff on hand, to the electronic rec ord keeping. With those tasks already being taken care of, Dr. Jani is able to put his entire focus on alleviating your pain. After all, it’s crucial to maintain a sense of urgency when it comes to pain management because people are running out of options by the time they come to
him. Most of Dr. Jani’s patients are those who have seen countless doctors and had lots of tests but have never b een able to f ind a diagnosis and fix the underlying cause. “My ankle hurts,” Dr. Jani said as a general example. “I’ve seen ten podiatrists, I’ve had six ankle surgeries, and no one’s fixed it.” But even though it may never be fixed, “there are things we can do to at least help you get rid of the pain”. Thankfully, Dr. Jani is not the type of doctor who just throws pills at the problem; he has a ver y strict interpretation of the related safety regulations. Not that he doesn’t use medications at all, but it’s only a tiny part of what he can do. “We’re highly inter ventional,” said Dr. Jani. He can target the pain with various injections, or hide the pain using electricity to target different stimulators in the nervous system. By implanting pain pumps, the medication is delivered directly to your spine, creating a much stronger effect. It all depends on the severity and longevity of the pain. These steps may seem elaborate, but rest assured Dr. Jani is conservative in his relief suggestions. “I always tell patients that if I don’t have to do something, I don’t want to do it. So if I can make it go away with a two minute injection, that’s what I’m going
to do,” he said. If that doesn’t work, then Dr. Jani will happily go over additional minimally invasive options with you. He might even just recommend

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE First Responders Train With “Operation Total Chaos”
By Chris Lundy BRICK – Fortunately, it was only a drill. There was a propane tank fire, live wires on the ground, multiple overturned vehicles - including a school bus – with people inside, and the need to search for victims in buildings and a large field. “Operation Total Chaos” was a disaster preparedness drill developed by Brick Township EMS Director Rob Contreras and Manchester EMS Director Rob Baran. It took place at the Fire Training Academy on Herbertsville Road. “The purpose of the exercise was to evaluate players’ actions against current response plans and capabilities responding to a weather-related emergency in Ocean County,” said Director Contreras. During the two-hour drill, fire and EMS personnel worked together to extricate wounded victims, while dealing with live wires, fires, and smoke conditions. Victims were triaged, treated, and rehabbed as needed. Vehicles and special equipment were brought into play. “Everyone did a fantastic job, and thank you to Dr. Ken Lavelle, our Medical Director for attending the exercise and overseeing
the health and safety of our participants. Through this exercise we were able to identify areas where we can improve, such as interagency communications and triaging victims,” Contreras said. There were approximately 80 participants, including those playing roles. The following agencies took part: Manchester Township EMS, Jackson Township EMS, Lakewood Township EMS, Berkeley Township EMS, Ocean County EMS Coordinators, Brick Township Office of Emergency Management, Brick Township Fire Bureau, Herbertsville Fire Company, Laurelton Fire Company, Pioneer Hose Fire Company, Brick Township Police, and Brick Township EMS. The drill was observed by Chief James Riccio, Office of Emergency Management Coordinator Joe Pawlowicz, the Brick Township Safety Officer Ron Gaskill, and the Brick Township Fire Bureau. “Everyone did a great job. Drills like this are important to help to identify areas where we can do better and prepare for emergencies when they really happen. It was good to see all these agencies coming together and working as a team,” Riccio said.

Burke said he believes he plays at the same level, virtually or in person (also called “over the board” games). He prefers in-person because it’s more familiar to him, and he said he enjoys being across from his opponent, which is something that is lost in virtual games. “I guess what I enjoy most about chess is it’s a perfect information game,” he said. “Compared to something like poker where there is an element of bluff and luck, in chess there’s none of that. It’s all skill basically. “Everything is out on the board in front of you, and on any given day, the best player is normally the one who wins,” Burke said. “There’s not really an element of luck or chance. You always feel like you deserve to win or you deserve to lose.” He said thinking ahead and the ability to recognize patterns go hand-in-hand while playing chess. “So if you come across a pattern in a game you’ve studied beforehand, then it’s easier for you to understand what’s going on,” he said. “If you compare a completely random position that doesn’t really conform to a specific pattern, even the best players in the world - it would not be easy for them to think very far ahead just because they’re not used to it.”

But if a familiar pattern is on the board, Grandmasters are able to look very far ahead and anticipate many moves in advance, he explained. There’s not an infinite number of chess positions, but the number is “more than grains of sand on the beach - I think that’s the statistic,” Burke said. There are some important patterns, strategies and tactics that refer to a specific configuration of pieces on the board for strategizing a long-term goal. The number of moves in a chess game vary from a low of about 20 (when one plays badly) to more than 100 moves. Games average about 40 moves, Burke said. Before a tournament Burke said he prepares by studying, working with a coach, and playing other people. Participants learn the names of their competitors and are able to access their past games and see their trends and strategies. “A long-term strategy is a long-term plan for improvement throughout the game. As you improve with chess and as you study you become more familiar with these things and it becomes second-nature,” Burke explained. The lifelong Brick resident is an American chess grandmaster. He achieved the FIDE Master title in August 2015 and the International Master title in April 2016, and in April 2018 was awarded his Grandmaster title. He reached an Elo rating of 2601 in September 2015, making him the youngest player ever to reach a rating of 2600 or above. After graduation Burke said he hopes to make a career out of chess by coaching, writing articles, doing online video lessons. “There’s definitely a market for it,” he said.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of nov 7 - nov 13
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Loved ones may require some extra attention to quell any fleeting insecurities. In the upcoming week, your imagination and creative abilities get a boost, so your work can make a good impression. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Misunderstandings can create temporary obstacles. Some people may be skeptical of your judgment or loyalty. Wait until later in the week to engage in serious negotiations or discussions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might be able to spin a yarn with the best of them. However, you can become carried away by wishful thinking and hope something is better than it is. Don’t ignore the facts this week. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Just because everyone else has a particular something doesn’t mean that you need one too. You might judge books by their covers in the week to come, so put shopping expeditions on hold. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s great to be a crowd pleaser, but you might be too concerned with pleasing the crowd. You may be unduly influenced by peer pressure in the upcoming week. Remember to think for yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dedicate yourself to fact-finding rather than fault-finding. Apply pinpoint accuracy to paperwork, not people. Wait for better timing in the second half of the week to buy something that requires good taste.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Treading water might not get you anywhere, but it might prevent you from being swept out to sea. You may not be at your best, so wait until later in the week to appear in public or discuss emotional issues. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Avoid misunderstandings today and later in the week. You and a loved one can come to an agreement. You might even be able to live out some of your secret romantic fantasies next weekend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can find a way over an obstacle or break through a brick wall. In the week ahead, you may be relieved of a responsibility or could learn something that empowers you to make fresh plans. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can be an ace at critical thinking. This could be a good week to focus on any personal shortcomings and do something about them. A debt could be paid off, improving your overall budget. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Confidence conquers doubts. You might become more assured when a thorn in your side is finally removed. Perhaps erasing a problem will allow you to be more optimistic in the week to come. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A carefree spending spree will not cure any of your problems. In the second half of the week, you might be better equipped to deal with your budget. Make smart decisions to improve your well-being.
