Chariot Riders Inc.
Execut ive Di rector Linda Fazio said, “we have been providing these programs continuously since 1985.” The group’s mission is to assist individuals with physical, cognitive and/or emotional challenges to reach their fullest potential.
Fazio said the group emphasizes ability - not disability - for everyone. The non-profit organization’s website notes that it offers a variety of programs for able bodied riders. It is accredited by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship
International (PATH). “Our facility is located here in Manchester and we service individuals as well as public and private schools. In addition to our lesson program, we also offer equestrian camps, in house and off premises (Riding - See Page 7)
High School Trio Receive National Awards
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – A trio of teen students at the township’s high school recently won the National Center for Women and Information Technology (NCWIT) award for Aspirations in Computing (AiC). MTHS students Sar-
ah Smith and Lyndsey Vigna received the National NCWIT Award fo r A s pi r a t io n s i n Computing (AiC) while Hailey Sales received an Affiliate Honorable Mention Award. The awards, powered by the NCWIT, recognize 9th-12th grade women, genderqueer,
or non-binary students for their computing-related achievements and interests, as part of an effort to encourage a diverse range of students to choose careers in technology. All award recipients were chosen from more than 3,500 applicants and from all 50 states
in the U.S. including Wa sh i ng t o n , D.C., Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, U.S. overseas military bases, and Canada. They were chosen for their outstanding aptitude and aspirations in technology and computing as demonstrated by their com-

By Bob Vosseller and Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – The Township Council is considering crafting an ordinance that would strengthen the 55+ requirement of senior communities. Every senior homeowner association has bylaws that require someone living there to be of a certain age. However, as anyone living in those neighborhoods will tell you, there are always people who break the r ule. The associations sometimes have difficulty enforcing those rules. Berkeley Tow nsh ip
recently passed an ordinance that would allow the town to enforce these regulations. Manchester resident Judy Noonan sent a copy of Berkeley’s ord i na nce to Ma nchester Business Administrator Brandon Umba. Noonan used to be a councilwoman in Berkeley, but she moved out of the town before this ordinance was written. She noted the lang u age of d i f fe r e nt homeowners’ associations in Manchester and cautioned the governing body about the use (55+ - See Page 4)
Campground Residents Have To Move In May
By Stephanie Faughnan MANCHESTER – In preparation for the upcoming sale, Surf and Stream Campground owners want all personal property removed from their land by May 23, 2022. However, it’s the underlying message of the directive that warrants particular concern. The short notice leaves more than 100 people scrambling for a place to live. Barry Bielat, Managing Member and spokesperson for the campgrounds said he arranged for personal hand-delivery of the notices to those on site. He also emailed notices and is in the process of informing other “campers” of the date of the shutdown by regular mail. Bielat maintains there are no permanent (Residents - See Page 5)

NCWIT Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder Lucy Sanders said, “encouraging all students’ interest in technology careers is critical. Our workforce needs their creativity and unique perspectives to produce technology that is as broad and innovative as the population it serves.” “We are proud that three of our students received this prestigious award,” MTHS
Principal, Dennis Adams said. “Manchester Township High School continues to increase our computing and technology course offerings as part of our curriculum, and we are proud of our success in encouraging female students to take part in these courses.” The high school recently received an AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award and has also established a WiSTEM (Women in STEM) chapter at the school. NCWIT is the farthest-reaching network of change leaders focused on advancing innovation by correcting underrepresentation of girls and women in computing.

55+:
Continued From Page 1 of terms ‘occupied’ versus ‘ownership’ in regards to who is living there. She said this was a very big deal in her previous community of Berkeley. The Board of Realtors went to the state of New Jersey “because people wanted to buy houses that were not 55. This became an issue.” “Homeowner Associations have to maintain 80 percent (senior population) for it to remain a senior community. There seems to be a problem where people (under the age of 55) are finding these homes easy to buy. It also becomes a renter issue. Then you get children. We had that so the issue became very big in Berkeley,” Noonan said. It’s a quality of life issue for the seniors, who moved into these neighborhoods for the peace and quiet. Additionally, the development might lose their protected status as a senior community, she said. “I did receive this from you,” Administrator Umba said referring to a copy of Berkeley’s ordinance. “It is under attorney review so we can introduce it here in Manchester. Once we have it through an attorney review and it is discussed at one of the Coordinating Council meetings the Council will review it.” “It may not seem so important now, but it
may become a big thing, a crisis. To keep your integrity is very important because people are moving like crazy,” Noonan said. Berkeley’s Version Berkeley and Manchester are similar in that there are a lot of large senior developments. Berkeley wanted to keep bad actors from taking advantage of senior communities. However, officials said they also want people to be able to buy a senior home for their parents. They also wanted to allow the practice of putting a home in an adult child’s name so that way it’s protected if the parent goes into a nursing home. Berkeley’s version essentially codifies the 55+ rule, thereby making it possible for the township to enforce it. Language was added to explain that each homeowners association would still have home rule, and that the town’s ordinance wouldn’t overrule anything that the development had already. When Berkeley passed this ordinance, it was in a standing-room only crowd at a clubhouse. Many seniors thanked them for the ordinance. Real estate agents said there could be legal repercussions for this. They said it was discriminatory to sell to only people of a certain age. Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato vowed that the town would defend this up to the Supreme Court if necessary.

Residents:
Continued From Page 1 residents of the campgrounds as Surf and Stream’s rules say the premises are intended for recreational purposes. According to the campground spokesperson, no one is allowed to live there full time. “There are seasonal, monthly, weekly, and daily campers who pay site fees based on their stays,” said Bielat. “A campground is very similar to a hotel by nature; instead of paying a room fee for one’s stay, campers pay a site fee.” Marie Cicalo, who worked as the campground’s assistant manager, said the owners fired her on the same day they hand-delivered notices on site. She watched as someone filmed the delivery of notices and asked anyone who answered their doors to sign for them. “I think they were worried I would print out statements for people who live here,” Cicalo shared. “There has been some shady stuff going on here as far as money.” The notification sent by Bielat alerted campers that a lien could be placed on their RV/trailers or other personal property for outstanding charges. Cicalo said she has personal knowledge that not everyone’s accounts have been accurately credited. Cicalo, her husband and adult son, began living on the campgrounds full-time eight months after moving from a big house in Levittown, Pennsylvania. They transitioned from a small camper and recently upgraded to a 2019 42’ Forest Glen model and considered buying a campground when
The Manchester Times, April 9, 2022, Page 5 they retired. Like many of her neighbors, Cicalo said she’s having a hard time finding a place to relocate – especially on such short notice. Dozens of people huddled into Cicalo’s home recently to discuss what amounts to their displacement. While acknowledging the owners have the right to sell their property, the overall feeling was one of frustration, fear, and fury. Tears spoke louder than words in some cases. Many came with stories of personal struggles that led them to move into the campground community in the first place. Tamara Smolinski pulled her license from her wallet to show that it bears the Ridgeway Road address of the campgrounds. She’s lived at Surf and Stream for twelve years and said her unit is one that can’t be moved to another location. “I’m 56 years old,” said Smolinski. “I work seven days a week in a nursing home taking care of people’s mothers and fathers who have dementia.” Smolinski said that she works as hard as she does despite the fact that she has a brain tumor. After she recovered from one surgery, Smolinski learned she had thyroid cancer. “Every penny I’ve made has gone into my medications to keep me alive,” shared Smolinski She tried to hold back her emotions as she admitted she has no family and has no idea where she’ll find a place to live. And – it isn’t for lack of filling out housing applications. Many of those forced to leave their homes
work multiple jobs. Other have limited incomes and are barely making it on disability benefits. James Ackerman considered himself lucky that a liver transplant gave him an extension on life. He and his wife have no idea where they’ll find a place to live that’s not a lot more than the $675 monthly site fees. A year ago, Darrell Medina thought he’d found the perfect place to live as it was the only one he could afford as a result of his disability. Medina survived a brain aneurysm with residual effects. He now needs a hip replacement and plans to put it off until he finds a place to live. Others admitted they’d lost their prior homes to foreclosure because of a bad divorce or illness causing them to stop work. More than one person said they’d lived in their cars before they landed at Surf and Stream. They’re worried their lives will go backwards to an abysmal place of homelessness. Families with children fear their kids will also lose out on their education. According to the residents, Manchester Schools sends in buses to pick up students. Bielat says that to the owners’ knowledge, with the exception of summer, there are no school age kids staying at the campground. His former assistant manager says he’s wrong. While it might seem easy enough to move campers or other recreational vehicles, the problem is finding a place to relocate them. Not one resident has found a campground that will allow them to hook up somewhere different. Annette Diaz bought one of the Park

Models when she needed to relocate from a big house after a bad divorce and was left with financial difficulties. She said her home can’t be moved. “All Park Models are recreational vehicles built on a single chassis and mounted wheels,” disputed Bielat. “Some campers have built decks that probably cannot be moved.” Bielat said that management will assist all who are current in their payment of site fees, utilities, and other applicable charges to relocate. Residents gathered at this recent meeting did not share any offers with a reporter. Terrance Turnbach, a Toms River attorney and homeless advocate said he met with some of the displaced residents to discuss their issues. “This property contains 102 year-round sites with 160 year-round occupants, 20 of whom are children,” said Turnbach. “The idea that the property owners think they can give the residents 30-60 days to relocate their entire lives will be challenged in court.” “I am confident that when the County Commissioners are given the real information on how many residents live there yearround, that they too will agree 30-60 days is completely unrealistic in this post-pandemic market,” Turnbach continued. Bielat said he has not received any monies yet from the sale of the property. The Ocean County Commissioners have offered $7.4 million to turn the land into open space. Manchester Township will be contributing $1.5 million for the purchase.

Riding:
Continued From Page 1 horse shows, year-round riding in an indoor arena, meetings and activities. There are also group trips,” she said. Riding lessons are taught by PATH certified staff in a safe and secure environment. Lessons are booked individually based on rider ability and instructor availability. The organization’s riding program operates year-round, Monday through Saturday by appointment. Fazio said, “we have approximately 26 volunteers per week ranging in age from 14 to 87 years old who arrive at the barn and give four to six hours - if not more - to help with our programs and the care of the horses.” She told The Manchester Times that she has “a long-established equestrian history with over 55 years of accomplished riding and training experience. I lived in England for most of my childhood. I began riding at the age of eight, and learned at various stables in England.” She noted how important community support was for the organization. Earlier this year, members of the Jackson Elks Lodge 2744 visited their headquarters and presented them with a donation. “We donated $500 to their organization that specializes in equestrian therapy for kids with special needs and veterans suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder),” said Joe LaMonica, the Exalted Ruler of Jackson Elks Lodge 2744. “Donations received from generous benefactors like the Jackson Elks have made it possible for us to offer our programs at discounted rates for our challenged students, providing a unique and often life-changing horse experience,” Fazio said. Fazio said it was difficult to sustain the organization’s prog rams du r ing the COVID-19 pandemic. “We closed the program for six months during the pandemic, and opened remotely for the fi rst six months. It was very hard for our clients - especially our special needs population - due to the limited access with the horses, and group sessions went to private sessions only.” She explained that “equipment had to be sanitized after each use, and the barn had to be sprayed every day. The programs are now running fully, and we do have some events coming up on our calendar our 2022 spring calendar includes: • April 18th to 22nd – Ride-A-Thon • May 15th – Spring Horse Show Summer 2022 Events • Week of June 27th – Horse Camp – 1st • Week of July 11th – Horse Camp • Week of July 18th – Horse Camp • Week of July 25th – Horse Camp • Week of August 8th – Horse Camp • Week of August 28th – Horse Camp IEA Only The organization works with several schools in Jackson and Manchester townships such as the Jackson Handicapped Commission - Riding program which runs riding sessions in September and October. There is an afternoon work program on Thursday and Friday at Jackson Memorial High School. There is also a program at Zada Rehab - Hippotherapy program.
The Manchester Times, April 9, 2022, Page 7 “We also have an Interscholastic Equestrian Team who just completed their Regional and Zone horse shows,” Fazio said. She added that in observing those with physical and mental disabilities she has always appreciated, “the power of the horse to change lives. That is our goal. We at Chariot Riders provide positive change for these very special lives.” “Our service personnel have fought to preserve our freedom, and, for many, at a
very dear cost. We must be certain that if our wounded service personnel and veterans need and want this kind of help, they will get the best Chariot Riders has to offer,” Fazio said. One client of the organization shared their story saying, “I interacted with the horses weekly, both in the saddle and on the ground, for the first seven months after I came to this center as an emotionally challenged adult.”
“I fumbled through learning to groom, handle, tack, and ride. I learned to be focused in the present moment. The horses taught me to trust but also to be assertive when necessary. Because of the horse, I was able to increase my self-confidence and become a dependable volunteer at this center,” the client added. Chariot Riders is located at 3170 Chariot Court, Manchester Township and the group’s website is chariotriders.org

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY e DitoriAl Why Can’t We Make Fun Of Presidents Anymore? I’ve always liked political humor. Even when I was little, I watched “Not Necessarily The News” on HBO. I didn’t understand all the jokes, but I still watched it. Jokes about cur rent events can be cathartic. Sometimes things are so bad that you have to laugh at them. Otherwise, you’ll cry. The president – any president - is someone who has their finger on the button, whose comments can make the stock market rise or fall, and they’re just…some g uy. Take away the suit and the title and they’re just a human being full of foibles and eccentricities like the rest
of us. If that’s not funny, I don’t know what is. I started thinking about this again when we ran the recent story about the controversial new store in Toms River. “Let’s Go Brandon” is a way of cursing at Biden without cursing at Biden. I think this is a lot more creative than just putting four letter words on your car or shirt. Do I think it’s juvenile? Yes. Do I think it’s funny? Also yes. I’m 45; Ronald Reagan was the fi rst president I remember. He was ridiculed for having episodes where he seemed confused, years before he announced he had Alzheimer’s. These days, come-
dians would get lambasted for making fun of someone with cognitive decline. But back then, every comic took potshots at Reagan. That’s what comedians are supposed to do – punch up, speak truth to power, show everyone the emperor isn’t wearing clothes. How many times have you heard someone do the “Well, Nancy…” voice when doing a Reagan impersonation? We used to be all united, in that we all made fun of the president together. But when did that change? I don’t remember too many jokes about George Bush Sr., except about him being a warmonger. And then there was Bill Clinton. Monica, McDon-
ald’s, “I didn’t inhale.” Plenty of material there, folks. Bush Jr. came around and comedians had their payday again. His slow-witted bumbling, with a lifetime of failing upwards due to being born with a silver spoon in his mouth, was rife for comedy. Then came September 11, 2001. I think that was when the switch was pulled. I can completely understand why this happened. You shouldn’t joke about the war effort, and the president is the commander-in-chief. You certainly should never make fun of the soldiers putting themselves in harm’s way, but the politicians co-opted that. They said that if we supported the troops,
we also had to support the president who was sending them into a warzone. People always say “September 11 made us all come together.” But a lot of that was forced. Plenty of people were critical of Bush, and even of what actions were taken in the Middle East, but that criticism got called unpatriotic. Remember Freedom Fries and the Dixie Chicks? Ever since then, it seems you can’t make fun of the president. If you made fun of Obama, you were labelled a racist. If you made fun of Trump, you were branded a liberal – or a RINO (Republican In Name Only). It’s not just about the other party; there should be noth-
ing wrong with pointing out problems with your own candidate. There is plenty to make fun of both of them about! We should always make fun of the people in charge. It’s our only outlet. And really, what’s a joke from any of us nobodies actually going to do to the most powerful person in America? And in closing, for no particular reason, I’m going to paraphrase Joni Mitchell: I’ve laughed at clowns from both sides now, from left and right and still somehow, we’re the ones who take the fall, they don’t care about us at all.
and nursing homes and assisted living communities had to compete against other businesses and members of the public to find the additional tests they needed. Rapid and reliable testing is crucial in quickly identifying cases, so that long term caregivers can take appropriate action. We urge the Administration to increase the number of testing shipments to long term care as COVID surges dictate. Additionally, once we identify residents who have contracted COVID, ensuring they have timely access to life-saving treatments is also critical. As we wrote to you in January, long term care providers must navigate the various cumbersome ordering processes for treatments that each state has created. We appreciate the recent change last week to establish a federal cache of oral agents dedicated to long term care, but access to other treatments (e.g., monoclonal antibodies and Remdesivir) is still a challenge. Once again, we urge the Administration to establish a separate process
for long term care pharmacies to order all COVID treatments directly, so that nursing homes and assisted living communities have a streamlined process for quickly accessing them. Not only can these measures save precious lives, but also reduce the burden on our nation’s health care system by preventing unnecessary hospitalizations. If we have learned anything over the past two years, it is that the elderly are among the most vulnerable to this virus, and therefore, deserve the greatest support and highest prioritization. Our caregivers have worked tirelessly day after day to protect and provide for their residents, and they need steady access to resources during this pandemic and moving forward. AHCA/NCAL appreciates the support and assistance HHS has provided to-date, and we look forward to continuing to work together to ensure our nation’s seniors receive the care and protection they deserve.
Chris Lundy News Editor
Letters To The Editor Public Health Emergency Should Be Continued Editor’s note: This letter was addressed to Xavier Becerra, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services On behalf of the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living’s (AHCA/ NCAL) more than 14,000 skilled nursing facilities (SNF), assisted living communities (AL), and intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICF/IID) member providers, I want to thank you for the support you have shown the long term care community during the most difficult time in our sector’s history. As our caregivers on the frontline continue to battle this virus, I urgently ask you to extend the public health emergency (PHE) beyond its current April 16, 2022 expiration. While statute only allows the PHE to be extended for 90 days, we encourage you to continue
extending the PHE through the end of 2022 so that long term and post-acute care providers can continue to offer the most efficient and effective care possible to our nation’s most vulnerable population. This pandemic is far from over. A surge of cases of the BA.2 variant in Europe threaten a COVID resurgence in the United States, and your administration is currently advocating that Congress allocate tens of billions of dollars in additional COVID funding for testing, treatments, and other supplies our country needs to continue to battle the virus. In addition, Pfizer and Moderna are seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration of an additional COVID booster shot. It is clear that we are not out of the woods yet, and extending the PHE is critical to ensure states and health care providers have the tools and resources necessary to respond to this ongoing, global crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unimaginable and unprecedented challenges for
the entire health care sector, but most especially for long term care. In addition to the tragic loss of life in long term care due to the vicious nature of the virus, the industry is experiencing a historic labor shortage - losing more than 400,000 workers since the beginning of the pandemic. Caregivers are burned out after fighting this virus for more than two years, and long term care providers are struggling to compete for workers due to fixed government reimbursement rates. As you can imagine, the loss of nearly half a million workers has put our providers in an impossible situation either having to limit admissions or close their doors completely, threatening access to care for thousands of our nation’s seniors. At the same time, providers are having to increasingly rely on temporary staff to cover shifts, even though staffing agencies are charging two to three times more than pre-pandemic rates. The current situation is unsustainable, and simply put, we need help. The Administration should
extend the PHE declaration and maintain the related Section 1135 and section 1812(f) waivers, enhanced Medicaid FMAP to states, and state Medicaid policy flexibilities, such as the waiver for Medicaid redeterminations. The PHE ensures our health care system, including long term care, has the policies and resources it needs to address this ongoing pandemic. Now is not the time to let crucial supports and f lexibilities necessary to combat the virus end. Along with extending the PHE, we implore the federal government to prioritize long term care for access to urgently needed resources, such as COVID-19 testing and treatments. The Omicron surge is a prime example. While deaths in long term care were significantly lower compared to the winter 2020 surge thanks to vaccines, cases still increased due to soaring spread in the community. The weekly tests the federal government ships to long term care facilities are incredibly helpful, but during Omicron it was not enough,

Bill Would Combat Human Trafficking In Hotels From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. – Addressing hospitality industry leaders at a safety summit gathering, Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th), an internationally recognized leader in the fight against human trafficking, highlighted the critical need to advance new legislation he authored that would help put an end to the heinous crime and protect victims in industries that are especially vulnerable to trafficking.
“It is no secret that hotels are common sites for human trafficking,” said Rep. Smith, who has authored five anti-trafficking laws, including the nation’s historic Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. “We cannot stop the spread of modern-day slavery without collaboration between the U.S. government and courageous leaders in every industry touched by trafficking, especially the hospitality industry,” Smith said to those gathered at the Hotel and Lodging Association’s 2022 Safety Summit. “My bipartisan, survivor-informed legislation would establish new anti-trafficking policies in hotels that accommodate thou-
sands of federal employees, including training hotel staff to identify warning signs, act immediately to report suspicious behavior to law enforcement and rescue trafficking victims - many of whom are women and children,” Smith said. Introduced earlier this year, Smith’s legislation - the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2022 - would provide approximately $1 billion over five years to strengthen and expand successful programs and laws to combat modern-day slavery. Endorsed by the American Hotel and Lodging Association, Smith’s legislation won unanimous support from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in a February vote to send the bill to the House Floor for consideration and passage. Smith’s bill has
broad support from major anti-trafficking organizations, including from ECPATUSA, Anti-Trafficking International, Hope for Justice and others. Smith thanked leaders from the American Hotel and Lodging Association for their tremendous partnership over the last few years to help draft the legislation and develop effective trainings to equip employees to spot and stop trafficking in hotels. “Your commitment and remarkable efforts to mitigate the grave harms of modern-day slavery and to train over 600,000 hotel employees nationwide is a big step toward ending the scourge of human trafficking,” said Smith. “We cannot let our guard down,” Smith said. “We must continue to do everything we can to stop this heinous crime.”
$18 Million Allocated For Additional Special Education Services From The Desk Of The
Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy and the New Jersey Department of Education (DOE) announced that nearly $18 million in federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) State Fiscal Recovery Funds will be allocated to reimburse local educational agencies (LEAs) for additional special
education services provided to students who were impacted by COVID-19 related school disruptions but would otherwise have reached the maximum age of eligibility for public school services (21 years old), as required by legislation (S3434) signed by the Governor in June 2021. “Ensuring a high-quality education for all New Jersey students is critical, especially those who have struggled during the pandemic,” said Governor Murphy. “This initiative aims to be responsive to students
with disabilities who need additional time in school to provide the skills they need to be successful upon graduating. We will continue to engage in comprehensive outreach efforts to ensure that we reach all students who are in need of these services.” “We are committed to ensuring that all New Jersey students receive the support they need, especially in response to the disruption the pandemic has caused in the classroom,” said Dr. Angelica Allen-McMillan, Acting Commissioner of Education. “This funding ensures that students with individual education plans remain on track to achieve their educational goals by having the ability to receive an additional year of
schooling.” The legislation signed by the Governor in June 2021 requires LEAs to offer up to one year of additional or compensatory special education for impacted students in the 2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023 school years, if a determination is made by the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) team that the student requires such services. DOE did comprehensive outreach to inform the special education community of the availability of additional services and encouraged eligible students to opt-in to the program. The funding allocation will reimburse LEAs for the first (Government - See Page 16)

Superintendent John Berenato thanked the PTA for the grants and for all that they do to support the district. Dunckley said that the PTA is happy to support the schools with these grants and many other projects but said it has become increasingly difficult to continue to do so because of a lack of volunteers. She said that there are currently 30 vacant positions on the board and committees for 2022-23. She issued a plea for help, “If you know of any parent or guardian that you believe would be a good fit for the PTA, someone who would want to help the district to enhance every student’s education, please speak with them about becoming an active volunteer. The PTA goal is to promote the welfare of children and to be an advocate for children in the home, the community, and the schools.” Visit the PTA website at manchesterpta. org for more information.

Driver Sentenced For Leaving Scene Of Fatal Crash
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – A man who ran someone over and fled the scene was sentenced to six years in state prison. Kevin Noonan, 63, of Manchester, was sentenced to prison, will have his license suspended for three years, and was fined $2,500. According to police, Noonan was at the home of Jack Gotfried, 69, of Whiting on April 13, 2021 to pick up furniture that Gotfried was giving away. After loading the furniture into his vehicle, Noonan backed his vehicle up at a high rate of speed and hit Gotfried, pinning him between the rear of the vehicle and a truck parked in front of the residence. Noonan then fled the scene,
leaving Gotfried injured in the roadway. Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer commended the efforts of Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Robert Cassidy and Assistant Prosecutor Victoria Veni who handled the case on behalf of the State, as well as the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Vehicular Homicide Unit, Manchester Township Police Department Patrol Division, Manchester Township Police Department Detective Bureau, and Ocean County Sheriff ’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, for their cooperative assistance in connection with this investigation leading to Noonan’s apprehension, guilty pleas, and now his state prison sentence.

Fatal Four-Car Crash Under Investigation
By Alyssa Riccardi MANCHESTER – Authorities are still investigating a fatal four-car crash from Tuesday morning that resulted in one confirmed death and several others injured. The crash occurred around 7:15 a.m. in the area of Whitesville Road and Route 571. According to police, 30-year-old Danielle Bowker of Toms River was driving westbound on Route 571 when she failed to maintain her lane while taking a right-hand curve. As a result, she stuck a New Jersey Department of Transportation that was going eastbound on Route 571. The truck was driven by 30-year-old Eduardo Rivera of Hamilton Township with 26-yearold Daniel Septor of the Cream Ridge section of Upper Freehold Township in the passage seat. After Bowker hit the truck, the truck lost con-
trol and proceeded to collide into another car driven by 48-year-old Michael Sadis of Toms River. Subsequently, Sadis was pushed off the roadway into an embankment, police said. The truck continued in the same direction until it hit another car driven by 58-year-old Paul Lambert of Toms River. The crash resulted in Bowker, Rivera and Septor sustaining minor injuries and were all transported to Community Medical Center in Toms River for treatment. Lambert had to be airlifted to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, and is currently listed in critical condition. Sadis was pronounced deceased at the scene. At this time, the crash is under investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Vehicular Homicide Unit, Manchester Township Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit.

Continued From Page 9 cohort of eligible students. DOE plans to continue comprehensive outreach efforts to ensure that the needs of the impacted student population are met. To date, the DOE has approved reimbursement applications for 221 students in 78 LEAs. The $18 million allocated in this announcement reimburses LEAs for the full costs of the first year of the three-year implementation of this program. Reimbursements will be distributed to LEAs in two equal installments and DOE will continue reimbursing LEAs for the full costs of this program for the next two years. The goal of compensatory special education and related services is to remedy the knowledge and skills deficit that result when missed services are determined to have caused a denial of a student’s right to a free
and appropriate public education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Each IEP team determines the need, type, amount, frequency, and duration of compensatory services on a case-by-case basis. As reflected in the Governor’s signing statement, the DOE initially estimated that the provision of such services to the three eligible cohorts of students could cost up to approximately $600 million. That estimate was made from abundance of caution; facing uncertainty regarding the extent of the need around the State for compensatory services, the DOE’s goal is to ensure the State’s ability to reimburse 100% of the costs of services provided under this program. The DOE remains committed to that goal and will continue to reimburse all eligible costs for the duration of the program. School officials and residents can email the NJDOE’s Office of Special Education at OSEinfo@doe.nj.gov for more information.

Let’s Put Horseradish On The Table By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I went to a local Polish German restaurant the other day and as I was eating the beet horseradish with the corn beef, I had to blow my nose, and then my mind wandered…What causes the unique ‘burn’ sensation that so quickly clears my sinuses, lol?! What is this stuff ? It’s a root! Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) has a few critical minerals like zinc, calcium, magnesium and potassium. But the condiment has a pungent flavor thanks to “sinigrin.” You may not have heard of sinigrin but you’ve certainly tasted it before because it naturally occurs in other foods and condiments such as wasabi, mustard, and the crucifer veggies like Brussels sprouts, kale and broccoli. The sinigrin converts naturally to form this other compound called “allyl isothiocyanate” which is abbreviated AITC. There are medical benefits to natural horseradish, so if you like it, eat it every now and then. It’s not possible to eat enough in one sitting to make any kind of nutritional dent so don’t go off your medicine for any of the following problems. That said, here is where it has some medicinal activity: Respiratory problems. You knew this already! If you have bronchitis, a mild cough, or sinus congestion, the horseradish will temporarily clear that up and help with drainage. Horseradish is often used holistically as a natural adjunctive treatment for asthma and hayfever. Digestion. There are holistic practitioners that know horseradish helps normalize bowel movements and therefore might
help with constipation by stimulating peristalsis. Tumor Growth. There is some research that suggests liver cancer spread may be slowed in the presence of sinigrin. Slowing metastasis down is important. In 2010, there was another study that proved AITC beneficial “as a cancer chemopreventive phytochemical.” And in a paper from Carcinogenesis 2010, researchers concluded that AITC “is a multi-targeted agent against bladder cancer… and potently inhibits bladder cancer development and invasion.” Horseradish is a strong anti-inflammatory food. It inhibits COX, LOX and prostaglandins. It lessens inflammation and has some antimicrobial activity. In short, it has some useful analgesic activity. Little ones like 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds shouldn’t be eating horseradish. Also, pregnant women should not eat too much because it has naturally occurring (and irritating chemicals) in it along with that AITC. The same can be said if you are breast-feeding because your baby will not like your breast milk very much. But for everyone else, it’s tasty and healthy. One simple way to incorporate horseradish is to put it on top of your hamburger or a roast beef sandwich. Traditionally, you see it served with red meat dishes. I’ve never had a Bloody Mary, but they put horseradish and hot pepper sauce in that drink! I’ll have to try that one day, but only if some Pepcid is handy! I have a longer version of this article posted at my website, plus some recipes using horseradish. These, as well as a recipe cookbook are all available at suzycohen.com.

United Way Holds Golf Outing Fundraiser

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Understanding Automobile Insurance In The Garden State
Michael J. Deem, Esq.
By Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates New Jersey offers two types of automobile insurance policies that may be purchased: a Standard Policy and a Basic Policy. A Standard Policy provides liability, uninsured motorist, and personal injury protection (medical) coverage. A Basic Policy only provides personal injury protection (medical) coverage limited. Protect yourself and choose the standard policy. Liabilit y I nsu ra nce i nsu res you against claims made by others for the property damage or personal injury you cau se d wh ile ope r at i ng you r vehicle. Liability Insurance protects you from paying money to someone from your own pocket. Your insurance coverage will pay any monetary damage that you are required to pay to someone else but only up to your insurance policy limits. Choose your liability policy limits wisely. Most people choose liability coverage of $100,000.00, but I recommend choosing at least $250,000.00 of liability insurance. The additional cost is usually nominal. Personal Injury Protection coverage is also known as “PIP” or “No Fault” Insurance. The “No Fault” concept means that your automobile insurance will provide you with personal injury protection insurance (PIP) coverage regardless of fault. In other words, it does not matter who caused the car crash. As long as you were operating, using, or getting in /out of an automo-
bile at the time of the injury then you are covered. The “No-Fault” concept does not mean that the other driver is responsible for your medical bills. Protect yourself and choose the standard $250,000.00 in PIP Medical Expense Benefits. Uninsured /Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UM / UIM) protects you against financially irresponsible drivers. Sometimes people operate their vehicles without insurance coverage or with only ver y lit tle insu rance coverage, like those who operate their vehicle with a Basic Policy which was discussed earlier. If you sustain property damage or bodily injury and the person responsible does not have enough insurance to cover your loss, then you can file a claim with your insurance company under your Uninsured /Underinsured Motorist Coverage. This coverage protects you and your family by providing additional insurance coverage for your loss, but only up to the policy limits that you choose. UM/UIM insurance coverage should never be less than your liability coverage. Most people choose liability coverage of $100,000.00, so your UM/UIM coverage should equal your liability coverage. At R.C. Shea & Associates, our automobile insurance attorney, Michael J. Deem. Esq. is here to help you with your automobile insurance questions. Please give him a call.

OCEAN COUNTY – Micromedia Publications is deeply sadd e n e d by t h e sudden passing of Tina Orth, a popular realtor in Ocean County and a friend of the newspaper publishing company for almost 27 years. Orth, a Whiting resident, passed away on April 1, 2022. She was 59. When Micromedia decided to move to a more moder n off ice space in 2019, Tina Orth was able to do the impossible. She was successful at selling the company’s longtime headquarters on Union Avenue when most other realtors wouldn’t even try. Tina was also helpful in locating our new home in the Lakehurst Circle Shopping Plaza. All of us at Micromedia would like to extend our thoughts and prayers with Tina’s family, friends and coworkers. The following is Tina’s obituary from the Carmona Bolen Funeral Home in Toms River. Tina Lynn Orth, 59, of Whiting, passed away on Friday, April 1, 2022. Tina was a lifelong community member of Manchester and some would say the town celebrity. Tina grew up in Whiting until they relocated to Manchester where she spent most of her time working at Cooper’s Florist, which was the Cooper Family Business. Most knew Tina as the face on the billboard as she had a 25-year career at Crossroads Realty in Toms River, NJ. From there, she began her Real Estate career in 1996, when she became a full time Real Estate Agent. The first year she earned the prestigious honor to be the “Rookie of the Year.” Followed by United Ways, “Young Professional of the Year,” “The Million Dollar Sales Club,” “NJAR Circle of Excellence,” “Realtor of the Year,” “Humanitarian of the Year,” “Senior Real Estate Specialist,” “Distinguished Sales Club,” “Byron Kotzas Achievement Award,” “Ocean County Girl Scouts Woman of Distinction,” “Preferred Realtor for the Erickson Senior Living Communities.” “Buying or
─Photo courtesy Crossroads Realty Selling, I’m your girl” was the slogan she lived by and she truly lived for the work that she did. Outside of work, Tina was also very prominent in the community. She has been the past President of the Lakehurst/Manchester Rotary and the past Church Clerk and member of the Whiting Bible Church. She has also been the Vice President of the Senior Resource Alliance, Board Member of CareGiver Volunteers, Relay for Life Volunteer, American Cancer Society Volunteer, Samaritan’s Purse Volunteer, Hope Sheds Light Volunteer and was on the Community Medical Planned Giving Committee. What Tina prided herself on the most was her husband, Tom, of 32 years and her two incredible offspring, Dahlia and Jade. Some of their most favorite things to do together was play all kinds of board games, family vacations to her favorite spot of the beach, and just spending quality time together. Tina’s exuberant spirit and laughter will be missed most in the house. Tina is predeceased by her parents Hilda & William Sr, Cooper. Surviving is her loving Husband of 32 years, Thomas Orth, her daughters Dahlia & Jade Orth. Her sister Tonia Moll (George), her brother William Cooper Jr; and sister Heather Dries (Danny). In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Whiting Bible Church.

Another Booster Dose Recommended For Certain People
NEW JERSEY – An additional booster dose for those over age 50 and certain immunocompromised individuals will enhance protection against severe disease due to COVID-19 and its variants, Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said. Today’s updated recommendations from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) allow these groups who received an initial mRNA booster dose at least four months ago to be eligible for another mRNA booster. In addition, the CDC also recommended that adults who received a primary vaccine and booster dose of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine at least four months ago receive a second booster dose using an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) is ready to proceed with this next phase of booster doses and will work with vaccination partners to continue to ensure ease of access such as walk-in availability. To find a vaccination location, visit covid19. nj.gov/finder. According to the CDC, for adults and adolescents eligible for a first booster dose, these
shots are safe and provide substantial benefit. During the recent Omicron surge, those who were boosted were 21 times less likely to die from COVID-19 compared to those who were unvaccinated, and seven times less likely to be hospitalized. The CDC and NJDOH continue to recommend that all eligible adults, adolescents, and children 5 and older be up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines, which includes getting a booster when eligible. In a statement, the CDC Director Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky said that, in collaboration with FDA and public health partners, the CDC will continue to evaluate the need for additional booster doses for all Americans. The Department continues to work with pharmacies and other vaccine providers to support long-term care facilities and other high-risk congregate settings in ensuring on-site access for the most vulnerable communities. New Jersey has ample vaccine supply in the state to ensure continued access, and NJDOH will continue to monitor inventory within the state and the supply from the federal government.

She added, “this program has helped our residents safely dispose of household hazardous materials for over 30 years. It has grown in popularity and importance as we all embrace the importance of our environment and also safety.” During last year’s Household Hazardous Waste collection program, the county collected over 130 tons of hazardous waste. In 2021, more than 2,900 households participated in the program, which was a 24 percent increase from 2020. “We take great pride in our environment in Ocean County and this helps reduce the potential for environmental damage,” said the Director of the Ocean County Board of Commissioners John P. Kelly said. Commissioner Crea announced that additional collection dates for 2022 will be scheduled in the future. For additional information, visit co.ocean. nj.us/OC/SolidWaste/.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of APR 9 - Apr 15
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Focus on what is needed. In the week, ahead you might cut a romantic figure but will need to face the facts and attend to your responsibilities. Learn to add intention and determined action to your dreams. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may receive more attention than usual for being creative and original. Display a genuine interest in others in the week to come. It costs nothing and makes everyone feel good even if you are not in complete agreement. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Friends might appreciate your down to earth, practical outlook. Check for messages frequently as the week unfolds because someone could give you beneficial or insightful information. Remain open-minded to achieve your goals. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your loved ones may offer reminders that hard work is what is needed to become secure, but remember that vision and perseverance are needed too. Exercise some discretion when juggling funds in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What you think you see may not be what you get. In the week ahead, you can go overboard when indulging in romantic fantasies. Focus on getting work completed and helping a partner attend to obligations for the best results. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Love thy neighbor. Being tolerant and generous might not be convenient but can bring deep satisfaction. Your money intuition may be off - don’t offer financial advice to friends or family in the upcoming week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Forge new friendships. You can invoke a favorable first impression in those you meet in the week to come. Experiment with new ways of doing things and handling problems before sharing them with your crew. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do the math and be sure the exchange is even in the workplace. Capitalize on an ability to dig deep and perform research about career and business affairs. You may make a friend this week who challenges you to be more observant. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Earn extra appreciation for being loyal and offering unconditional love to your family. You may tackle more than your fair share of the workload in the week ahead to impress your boss and coworkers. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Funnel your energy and competitiveness into areas where you can express imagination and vision. Your focus could become scattered as the week unfolds, but people will likely appreciate your work ethic anyway. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Dedicate yourself to supporting others in the upcoming week. Necessity may demand that you do what is needed to complete a large list of tasks or deadlines while remaining polite and attentive to the needs of others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may enjoy a bubble of serenity and peace of mind in the week to come. Your generosity might place you in the limelight or your good judgment could be applauded. You may enjoy a new interest or research project.
