SHORE TOWNS COMPETE WHILE RAISING THOUSANDS FOR CHARITY

Parking On Narrow Road Amended

BRICK - A proposed ordinance that would have prohibited all street parking on Da vos Road was amended before its final reading because a number of residents objected to the restriction.

Council President Vince Minischino said that in August a res ident of Davos Road asked the governing body to do a study after an emergency vehicle couldn’t make it past cars that were parked on both sides of the road.

Davos Road intersects Princeton Avenue at the location of Windward Tavern.

The Safety Committee made a recommenda tion that parking should be restricted altogether, the council president said, but the ordinance was amended after “there was a lot of pub lic outcry.”

BEACH – Despite hav ing to reschedule due to the rainy weather, hundreds came out to watch the fourth annual intercoastal tug-of-war between Manasquan

and Point Pleasant Beach.

The friendly rivalry consists of pulling a 1,200-foot rope across the Manasquan In let which stretches to about 500 feet. The winning team not only

gets bragging rights, but a Mayor’s Trophy to celebrate the victory.

“It’s all about having a unique fun experi ence that not a lot of other towns can pull off,” event chairman Geoff Brown from the

Manasquan Recreation Department said. “It’s also all about raising money for local or ganizations, for both towns’ Recreation Departments and of course Make-A-Wish. (Charity - See Page 12)

Stranger Things) and Samuel L. Jackson (best known for being in practically every thing), will be out next year, but it’s unknown when the release date will be.

“This wasn’t done just randomly to pick on Davos Road,” Minis chino said.

The Safety Commit tee, which is comprised of the Police Depart ment’s Traffic Safety Unit and the Fire Bu reau, went back out to reevaluate Davos Road at the council’s request to address concerns raised about emergency vehicles access and the need for parking.

parents, Dominick and Elizabeth, live in the Green Island section of Toms River. They invited The Toms River Times to the set to watch the fun.

“She’s a hard worker, like her mom,” Dom inick said.

“She never gives up,” Elizabeth said, noting that this was a trait instilled in her from her own mother.

That tenacity was on display when things didn’t work according to plan.

The last few shots needed to be done in Florida in June but the weather didn’t work out. So, months later, Lavallette became the understudy for Florida. They blocked off entrances to a park off Bay Boulevard for

some filming, drawing the interest of a few pedestrians. They brought in palm trees to complete the look.

Then they went to the West Point Island home of James and Sharon Maida. It had become a makeshift movie studio for the day. Techs set up equipment, make up and hair were done. Their boat, License To Chill, will also make it into the movie. There’s a chance that the Seaside bridge, off in the distance, will stand in for the bridge on the Florida Keys.

Sharon Maida said they live in Bucks County, but summer here. In a strange co incidence, their son Nick was having dinner with his fiance in Hoboken when Paone was filming in that restaurant.

Thurman had her studio in a spare bedroom. Manganiello and his dog, Bubbles, worked out of a side room leading to the deck. (Bub

bles does not appear in the movie, but was likely off camera during any time her dad was on camera.)

A local limo service brought in a white limo for a shot of Thurman going into it. The Maidas’ garage became a location where Manganiello opens up a roll of caution tape and interacts with a dead body. Some local restaurants benefitted from the need for catering.

James Enright, a chiropractor in Lavallette, graduated with Nicol Paone. James Maida is his client.

When she needed a waterfront location, Paone said “I know just the place - the Jersey shore.” New Jersey is a microcosm of the entire country, from farmland to the beaches, cities and more. The script originally called for the locations to be in Brooklyn but she changed it. New Jersey has an incredible tax credit for filmmaking. She’ll definitely film in this state again.

“My chiropractor, Jim Enright, asked my dad ‘who do we know?’” Then Jim asked James. “That’s Jersey for you,” she said.

When you’re in the audience, you get lost in the movie. You don’t see the myriad of tiny decisions that are made that lead up to the finished product. Watching from the side lines, you can see creative problem solving at work. There are a million moving parts, from cast, crew, weather, lighting, props and more. Paone referred to it as a $10.5 million company that was created in a few weeks. When things line up, it’s a mixture of kismet, hard work, talent, experience, and quick thinking.

During a few minutes when she wasn’t

needed, she took the time to sit down with a reporter about working locally.

“I love it,” she said. “It feels like full circle.”

The writer and comedian made her directo rial feature debut with Friendsgiving (2020), which she also wrote.

“Everything’s different on every movie,” she said. You just have to listen to your own voice. She said Ben Stiller told her to follow her instincts: feel it out. “You can’t listen to anyone else.”

Next year, in addition to this film coming out, she has a script ready called “Bulldog Barb” with Edi Patterson from the Righteous Gemstones attached.

They also filmed in Jersey City, Hoboken, New York and Florida. As an example of another interesting coincidence, she was talking to a police officer working the set in Hoboken. It turns out he bought her child hood home.

One of the union workers on set in Laval lette has an uncle that was Dominick Paone’s coworker.

William Rosenfeld, the producer, took a brief step in front of the camera to portray the body on the floor of the Maidas’ garage.

Nicol knew one of his business partners from her Wall Street days. He sent Rosenfeld the script.

He grew up in Philadelphia but his family summered in Barnegat Light since the early 1980s. Even now, he’ll take his kids down there.

When they were driving south on the Garden State Parkway from New York to Lavallette, they got off at the Toms River (Film - See Page 5)

exit, but a little piece of him longed to go down to the LBI exit.

“It’s a little dream,” he said, “to be able to come back to childhood places, with people you love - it doesn’t feel like work.”

When he was a kid, he dreamed of making movies. So, everything he saw was a poten tial location. Now, to actually make a movie at the Jersey shore is amazing.

“I can’t stop my brain from thinking what to make,” he said.

The previous four days had rained, so the cast and crew were worried that weather would sink the day’s shooting as well. In stead, the sun came out and it was perfect.

“We caught the best weather,” Manganiello told The Toms River Times during a break. “I’m having a great time.”

“I’m from Pittsburgh. My parents are from Boston. I’ve got a bit of that East Coast edge. When the cameras are off, and they’re barbecuing with the Jersey Teamsters, I feel right at home,” he said.

“It’s an unbelievable opportunity for me. ‘Pulp Fiction’ was one of the seminal movies of the 90s. I must have seen it eight times in the movie theater. That changed my life and it’s one of the reasons I want to do film,” he said.

“The Kill Room” marks the first time Thurman and Jackson will share a movie since ‘Pulp Fiction.’”

“It’s so much fun to act with them. They’re so professional. Nicol is such a great director.

She’s really actor friendly,” Manganiello shared.

“Bubbles has gotten to know some of the parks in the area,” he joked. The chihuahua mix was well known by the entire cast and crew by the end.

Manganiello will be directing and pro ducing a documentary marking the 50th anniversary of the tabletop role playing game Dungeons & Dragons. He has more than 400 archival hours of footage that’s never been seen. This will be the fifth movie with the production company he formed with his brother Nick.

He is also going to be working on adapt ing one his favorite fantasy book series for streaming, but he was not allowed to share details on that yet.

He’s also filming “Moonhaven” in Ireland, which is in its second season for AMC. And he’s also playing someone on Apple’s “Myth ic Quest” who is “very important character to their canon.”

He offered advice to creatives seeking to start their career: “When it comes to creating you just have to do it. If you want to write, direct, you have to do it. Figure it out. Run up your credit card. If you’re talented, someone will find it.”

At the beginning of every shot, crew mem bers would say “Quiet” a few times before the cameras rolled. At the end of the shot, Nicol would watch the playback and either make a suggestion of something new to do or say something like “Nice! That was it!”

Following a list of shots needed for the mov ie, the cast and crew finished up the final day of shooting for the movie, here in Lavallette.

Ms. Beyer came in and said ‘I have to tell you, Mrs. Grenger was sitting there conversing in Spanish with a family trying to register for our district. They were so happy and so excited.’ From there it just seemed that the whole interview process went very well and we knew we had our person. A real people person that I think has a passion for special services in all students,” Farrell said.

“Welcome, we are lucky to have you and thank you so much for coming to Brick Schools,” Farrell added.

Afterwards, Grenger took the stand and shared her gratitude towards the board members as well as the Brick

Schools community.

“This district is amazing. I really feel that students have the opportunity to learn and grow and I’m really excited to be a part of this community to serve all students. It was apparent from the moment I stepped in I already heard, I already saw, that everyone shares a common passion and I cannot wait to walk and work beside all of you. My dedication and passion for educa tion grows stronger each year I’m in this profession,” Grenger said. “I’ve learned a few things along the way. First thing is to do what is best for all students and the second is to lead by example.”

At the end of her speech, Grenger thanked her husband and family for always supporting her. According to board documents, Grenger’s position will be effective beginning November 1.

NJ Receives $44.9M In Homeland Security Federal Grants

Capitol Comments

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senators

Cory Booker and Bob Menendez (both D-N.J.) announced $44.9 million in Homeland Security grants as part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) ongoing efforts to support state, local, tribal, and territorial partners. These grants assist states, urban ar eas, tribal and territorial governments, non-profit agencies, and the private sector with their preparedness efforts. Preparedness grants strengthen our na tion’s ability to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies.

Of the $44.9 million, New Jersey faith-based and nonprofit organizations received $18.9 million in Nonprofit Secu rity Grant Program (NSGP). Through the NSGP, faith institutions throughout the community will receive support to pre vent, protect against, and recover from terrorist attacks, including by installing physical security improvements, imple menting emergency readiness programs, and improving community safety.

Senator Booker joined Representative Tom Malinowski (D-7th), New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin, and faith leaders for a roundtable at Temple Sinai in Summit to discuss the rise in threats facing the Jewish community, and the actions Congress is taking to fight antisemitism and hate crimes throughout the state.

“We cannot ignore the disturbing rise in bias incidents and hate crimes, nor can we tolerate threats to any religious or cultural community,” said Senator Booker. “These security grants will help protect communities across New Jersey against dangerous hate-filled attacks and support our state’s vital infrastructure.”

“Because of our state’s proximity to large metro areas, airports, seaports and transit hubs, New Jersey must remain vigilant and prepared to respond to any type of attack,” said Senator Menendez.

“This critical funding will provide our first responders and nonprofit organiza tions added resources to safeguard our communities and protect New Jersey residents.”

“No person should fear violence be cause of who they are or who they wor ship,” said Representative Malinowski.

“This crucial funding will bring peace of mind for thousands of residents in

my district and help preserve the religious freedoms we hold dear.”

“Hate and bias have no place in our State, and we will always stand up against anti-Semitism and other forms of reli gious hatred. I’m proud to work with Governor Murphy, Senator Booker, Senator Menendez, Congressman Ma linowski, and our federal partners to ensure that our faith communities have the resources they need to remain safe. For more information on available grant funds please visit: bit.ly/3fRs LiR ,” said Attorney General Platkin.

“We are very honored to host this event and be able to receive this grant. This grant helps push more opportu nities to protect our members and our children. The support will go a long way towards the safety of our institu tion,” said Cindy Homer, President of Temple Sinai.

There were 131 nonprofit and reli gious institutions from across the state which received a total of $18.9 million in NSGP funds.

In addition to the NSGP funding, New Jersey agencies and other insti tutions received millions of dollars in federal funding through three other DHS grant programs:

Three New Jersey recipients - Del aware River Port Authority (DRPA), New Jersey Transit, and Port Au thority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) - received a total of $22.2 million from the DHS’s Transit Se curity Grant Program (TSGP). The TSGP funding protects critical surface transportation and the traveling public from acts of terrorism and to increase the resilience of transit infrastructure.

Nine New Jersey institutions - in cluding the DRPA, the New Jersey State Police, and the New Jersey De partment of Law and Public Safety, among others - received a total of $3 million from the Port Security Grant Program (PSGP). This funding helps protect critical port infrastructure from terrorism, enhance maritime domain awareness, improve port-wide maritime security risk management, and maintain or reestablish maritime security mitigation protocols that support port recovery and resiliency capabilities.

Seven New Jersey bus operatorsincluding Academy Express, LLC and Coach USA, Inc. - received a total of $717,000 under the Intercity Bus Secu rity Grant Program (IBSGP) to protect surface transportation infrastructure from acts of terrorism.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY

National Abortion Legality Is On The Ballot

Could a ban on abortion really happen? Some say that it’s far-fetched, but some say it’s closer to reality than we ever be lieved. I mentioned in a previous editorial that this is a topic that will go back and forth forever.

The Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision said that there is no federal right to an abortion granted by the Constitution. Some believe this allowed states to make the decision to legalize it or ban it. This is true, but that statement intentionally leaves out a very important detail: Federal laws overpower state laws. That means if Congress decides to ban abortion across the country, that would be come the law of the land. If Congress decides to al low it across the country, that becomes law. A state couldn’t change that.

In this election, our members of the House of Representatives are on

the ballot. The readership of newspapers served by Micromedia Publications cover the 2nd and 4th Con gressional districts. I felt it was appropriate to list the candidates’ opinions. I took these statements from their websites.

Jefferson Van Drew (R-2nd): “The integrity of the Court and its decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade must be respected, and we must come together to reject the latest attempts by those who disagree with today’s decision to abolish or pack the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court made the right decision to return this issue to the states so they can create their own laws regarding abortion. Here in New Jersey, we must con tinue to speak out and fight against Governor Murphy’s radical policies that call for taxpayer funded partial birth abortions.”

Tim Alexander (Demo crat challenger, 2nd Dis trict): “It is a sad day in

America. This decision by an extremist faction of justices is unconscionable. The outright rejection of precedent and disregard for the Fourth and Ninth Amendments’ protection of unenumerated rights is ap palling. It is not the place of our government to interfere with anyone’s control over their body. This decision will cost women their lives. Congress must take imme diate action to protect wom en’s reproductive rights, and to stave off future attacks on our other rights that are now vulnerable.”

Chris Smith (R-4th): “For decades - right up to this very moment - abor tion advocates have gone to extraordinary lengths to ignore, trivialize, and cover up the battered baby victim,” said Rep. Smith. “Today, at long last, Justice Alito writing for the ma jority of the U.S. Supreme Court has reversed Roe (and Casey) and has returned the power to lawmakers to sig

e ditorialnificantly regulate or even prohibit abortion.”

Matt Jenkins (Democrat challenger, 4 th District): “The GOP is looking to control and subjugate half the population. It is time to codify Roe into federal law for the safety of all women across this country. We are all equal under the law. Equality is only achieved through the freedom to con trol our own bodies, lives, and futures. Birth control is health care. Affordable access to birth control is a right, not a privilege. Healthcare is a decision between a patient and their doctor. The government has no business in the exam room.”

In addition to these above statements, I would encour age you to look into what some of this language really means. What is a “partial birth abortion,” for exam ple? It’s a political termnot a medical term - dating back 40 years. It would take

Letters To The Editor

chapters to explain it here.

You also need to look into the details of any potential ban. Most allow abortions in case of rape or incest. Some bans allow it if the pregnancy could hurt or kill the mother.

For example, Smith pro posed a bill that would ban abortion after 20 weeks, because that’s when he said a fetus can feel pain. Abor tion would still be allowed under this bill in the case of rape, incest, or danger to the mother (although there’s some further requirements defining rape).

If we continue with the idea that states make the deci sion regarding access, it’s generally believed that New Jersey is so blue, abortion will be legal here forever.

However, Gov. Phil Murphy only won by a slim margin in 2021, indicating that the state is getting redder (or maybe that Murphy is just unlikable). Regardless, it wouldn’t be a stretch to as sume that our next governor

is a Republican.

I get the feeling that a lot of Republicans in New Jersey don’t vote in gubernatorial polls because they figure their vote won’t matter.

The 2021 GOP can didate, Jack Ciattarelli, polled better the farther right his rhetoric was.

So, if 2025’s GOP can didate is an ultra con servative candidate, they could excite enough of the red-blooded New Jer seyans and bring them to the polls.

State lawmakers are overwhelmingly Dem, but again, that could change.

My point is that abortion is on the ballot even if it’s not expressly spoken.

The midterm elections tend to be based on how popular the president is, but abortion rights might be the undercurrent that changes things.

Can “Lakewood Charlie” Ever Tell The Truth?

My opponent, the former mayor of Lakewood, tells you #1 Barnegat is overdevel oped.

False: Barnegat is still 40% open space.

#2 Taxes are up every year. Barnegat has had the lowest increase in municipal taxes (average $25 a year a house PER YEAR) LOWER than any nearby town. Recent developments have saved the average homeowner $$ hundreds in property taxes a year.

#3Roads

Most major roads in Bar negat are COUNTY roads, however Barnegat has a list of small roads that will be addressed. West Bay Avenue from Sandpiper to Route 9 is

scheduled to be repaved very shortly by the County.

#4 Water Pressure

Work has just been com pleted on an additional water pressure link and a new water tower is planned.

#5 Big lie: the town picks the commercial developments.

The town cannot pick what stores come to town; my opponent knows that.

#6 The town told residents not to read Barnegat social media

WOW!! Members of the committee have asked resi dents at a Town Hall meeting, that if they have a township question call us. “We are here to answer your questions. You may not get correct an swers on Facebook.”

AL Bille Township Committee Member and Candidate

Don’t Trust Kathy Eagan

Anyone who’s been pay ing any amount of atten tion to the Toms River School Board in recent years knows not to trust Kathy Eagan.

She was embroiled in the costly and embarrassing superintendent hiring fias co. She was one of the main reasons we had to spend money trying to find a can didate who was literally right under our noses.

Council member Dan Rodrick called Eagan to try to get her to influence the rest of the committee picking a superintendent. Gee, why do you think she was picked as a mole? May be because he knows she has no scruples and will do whatever she is asked to do

by another politician?

It’s obvious to anyone who watches the board meetings that Eagan does nothing but sit around and vote the way her political bosses tell her to.

Eagan’s campaign is being run by former board mem ber Christopher Raimann, who is still trying to ma nipulate the board. When he was on the board, he was accused of leaking sensitive documents. And now he is giving Eagan orders.

She’s also getting march ing orders from board mem ber Lisa Contessa, who just got a free county job for her patronage.

That’s why I’m voting for Daynne Glover. She’s a parent of two kids in the district and has no political aspirations. She’s not a poli tician. She has no donations

from deep pocketed people so she owes no favors. She has no conflicts so she can actually vote on everything, unlike Eagan who has to abstain on important votes because she’s conflicted.

You can’t trust Eagan be

cause you don’t know who her bosses are. Glover has no bosses, and only cares about her kids and everyone else’s kids.

The work they do there is unbelievable.”

The event consisted of about nine heats, with nearly 300 tuggers participating for the cause. Point Pleasant Beach Recreation Committee Chair Lauren Schule said de spite having to change the date last minute, crowds still joined to watch the tug-of-war.

“Due to the date change, we had to go down to nine heats because a lot of people couldn’t make the new date, so we had to combine teams to make the numbers work. We need at least 25 people on the rope to get the rope out of the water because it’s so heavy,” Schule said.

“I was so impressed with the event this year, especially with the last-minute weath er change. It’s so important to remember that these are all volunteers who put this together, so a change like this resulted in a lot of extra work from our teams to pull this off for Make-A-Wish and for the Rec reation Committees of each town… I truly believe that when you are helping support an organization like Make-A-Wish, people are willing to go out of their way to adjust their lives to help. I am constantly im pressed by the volunteers and residents of our town to support events like this,” said Point Pleasant Beach Recreation Commit tee Ryan Simunovich, who is in charge of Operations for the event.

This year’s game was heated, going into intermission with Point Pleasant Beach in the lead with a score of 3-1. By the end of the day, Point Pleasant Beach took home the win with a final score of 6-3.

“Point Pleasant Beach took back the

title this year, which made the event all the better! We saw some of the longest tug of war pulling times on record this year, and each heat was so competitive,” Simunovich said.

“The competition is great. It’s been great that every year we’ve been alternating winners, town to town. It will be an in teresting year of trash talking to see who will win next year’s event since we’re tied,” Brown added.

This year, the two towns raised about $15,000 to donate to Make-A-Wish New Jersey. Since its inception in 2018, the Manasquan Inlet Tug of War has raised almost $100,000 for all beneficiaries combined.

Present at the event were New Jersey residents Sam and Antonio, who both re ceived their wishes this year. Sam’s wish was to announce the 2022 NFL first round draft choice of his favorite team, the New York Giants. Sam also got to be the emcee the Tug-Of-War. Antonio’s wish was to join the ranks of his heroes and become a firefighter.

“We rely 100% on the benevolence of the community in order to bring our mission to life for children in New Jersey battling critical illnesses,” said Tom Weatherall, President & CEO of Make-A-Wish New Jersey. “We cannot continue to restore hope in the lives of wish children and their families, right here in our own lo cal communities, without the support of events like the Manasquan Inlet Tug of War. We are honored to be a part of this unique annual event, bringing local towns together and helping us change the lives of children right here in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.”

I May Buy A Less Expensive OTC Hearing Aid

OUTPATIENT REHAB:

• Have the ability to live at home or live in a sober home with the ability to see your friends and family

• Get the help you need without having to sacrifice your career, drop out of school, or miss out on important obligations

• Have more affordable addiction treatment & care options

INPATIENT REHAB:

• Have full access to doctors, nurses, and medical staff 24 hours a day

• Live full-time inside the facility, with medication management & monitoring

• Have a more structured daily life, with the entire day planned out for you by professionals

There are many of you out there that are willing to take a chance on buying one of the many OTCs on the market. Before you make that PURCHASE, first have your hearing evaluated determine if you’re really a candidate for this device. Contact Dr. Izzy’s office and he will be happy to evaluate your hearing and discuss all of your options with you. If you ignore this recommendation, then carefully read the information below to assist in making the best purchase for your listening needs.

Discounts

If you require a flat reduction for the OTC hearing aids you wish to purchase, follow the best sale technique of a couple of portals, which occurs occasionally. These platforms will also supply bet ter-discounted price selections on vari ous items during the off-season.

Customer Feedback

You should seek reviews for your cho sen product on the relevant portal. Go for it if you are completely satisfied. Never make a buy in a hurry. Give your time and conduct thorough research on the merchandise you prefer.

Analyze The Ratings

It is widely thought that if a product’s rating remains at or above par four, the product is an excellent pick. You must pay attention to the ratings and hunt for the ideal point. Then and only then will your online purchase be a success. If you see ALL 5 Star ratings, don’t believe it.

Explore The Company’s Privacy Policies.

This is a critical component. You don’t have to follow them if you buy from well-known and trustworthy websites. However, look into their privacy policies if you use a few additional web portals. And determine whether or not they are genuine.

Policy On Returns

If dissatisfied with the product, you must return it within the time frame specified by the relevant E-commerce platforms. Ensure that the returned product is in the same condition as when it was received and that the associated receipt is not misplaced.

Methods Of Payment

After you’ve decided on your products,

click the Buy button. Then you’ll see various payment options for credit and debit cards and their EMI plans. If you are not comfortable paying in advance, use the cash on delivery (COD) or pay on delivery option (POD).

Don’t Purchase Using Public Wi-Fi. Never, ever do it, no matter how much free public service you obtain. Oth erwise, your personal buying would become a public concern. Whatever product you choose and its associated pricing may be made public.

Check Your Credit Card Statement.

Check your credit card statement regu larly. It’s always fun to have credit cards because you can buy anything using the lucrative EMI programs. However, the issue emerges when you become aware of the massive pending loans. So, always shop wisely while keeping your budget and needs in mind.

Look For HTTPS Rather Than HTTP In The URL.

HTTPS is highly recommended if you require a secure buying experience. It operates at the transport layer, ensuring end-to-end network communications security, and is hence favored for internet communications and online transactions.

Do Not Click On Links In Emails. Never click on an unsolicited email link since it could be a malware message that could harm your device or laptop if you do. As a result, your private and secure data may be compromised.

Update Your Browser.

Always update your browser because there is always the possibility that it will become infected with malicious programs, trojans, and viruses. As a re sult, your regular upgrades will quickly address any security issues.

The Bottom Line

Dr. Izzy & his Staff hope this informa tion helps you make the right decision when you purchase OTC hearing aids. We are always available to answer your questions about hearing health. His offices are located in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting and can be reached by calling 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Man ahawkin) or visit us at www.gardenstate hearing.com.

Dear Pharmacist

Top 6 Thyroid Supplements For Hypothyroidism - A Buyer’s Guide

Your thyroid gland is a fat-burning switch as well as a thermostat.

Certain thyroid supplements can help you feel and look your best, even if things have been ‘off’ for a while. If this topic interests you, I have a comprehensive version of this article posted at my website, suzycohen.com.

Thyroid illness is very common. Approx imately twenty percent of adolescents and adults (age 12 and older) have some form of hypothyroidism. Some cases are so mild, it’s never even thought of. And some symptoms are so unusual, that the doctor never ties them together to your thyroid.

The prevalence of OCD (obsessive-compul sive disorder) and bipolar is higher in patients with thyroid disease than in the regular popu lation. Depression and poor concentration are two other issues that may get you pinned with a psychiatric illness. But studies have proven that thyroid medication works way better than antidepressants in a large percentage of people!

Did you know that there are supplements to help you convert an inactive thyroid hormone in your body to an active form? When this occurs, you start to feel yourself again! It’s termed thyroid hormone activation, or “T3 activation.” I know all about it, because I myself suffered from thyroid disease about 15 years ago, and I’m a thriver and even wrote a book on Amazon called Thyroid Healthy.

Here are some of my favorite supplements on the market for 2022:

1. Thyroid Script - This is my bestselling supplement for thyroid and adrenal health. It helps with hair, weight, sleep and daytime en ergy. It was born out the very same nutrients and herbs that I used to buy one at a time when

I suffered myself. This formula brought me back to life! The exceptional blend contains methylated B vitamins, resveratrol, mullein, selenium, and digestive enzymes. There’s nothing like it on the market.

2. Vitamin D3 - Protects bones and teeth often problematic in hypothyroidism. Vi tamin D deficiency leads to autoimmune diseases, and increases the severity of hy pothyroidism.

3. Iodine - Required for thyroid hormone production. Symptoms of low iodine include fatigue, trouble concentrating, pale tongue, feeling colder than normal, dry skin, hair loss, and weight gain. Without iodine, thyroxine (thyroid hormone) cannot be made.

4. Ashwagandha - So profound is its benefit to the thyroid gland that it can boost energy reserves, provide antioxidant protection, improve T3 activation, help you lose weight, and improve mental clarity.

5. Digestive Enzymes - Gluten and casein are proteins that naturally occur in bread and milk, respectively. These proteins are consid ered problematic for some people, especially in autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s disease or Graves’ disease.

6. Catalase - This enzyme breaks down peroxide which is often spawned in chronic autoimmune conditions. It can lead to rusting, or greying and gloom in the body! Reducing peroxide (through catalase enzyme which you make in your own liver) can help.

I’ve discussed half a dozen useful things here. Research on your own. Ask your doctor what’s right for you. And most importantly, download my free ebook entitled, Hypo thyroidism: 5 Reasons You Don’t Get Well. Find it at https://shop.suzycohen.com/pages/ ebook-hypothyroidism

UBER- LYFT Transportation Network Companies

Are You Adequately Insured During A Ride Share?

Over the last few years, Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft have become the go-to livery service rather than the common taxi driver. Many people use these companies on a daily or weekly basis. But what happens when you are involved in a collision while a passenger in a Lyft or Uber rideshare vehicle? Are you covered?

Recently, the New Jersey Legislature defined the scope of mandatory insurance coverage for the transportation network companies and their drivers (such as Uber or Lyft). While an occupant of a prear ranged ride, the transportation network company and or the driver shall maintain the following insurance coverage for your benefit:

(1) primary automobile liability insur ance in the amount of at least $1,500,000 for death, bodily injury, and property damage; and (2 uninsured and underinsured mo torist coverage in an amount of at least $1,500,000.

This insurance coverage, which is to be maintained by the transportation net work company (Uber / Lyft), shall not be dependent upon your automobile insurer first denying a claim, nor shall your au tomobile insurance policy be required to first deny a claim. This means that the insurance provided by the Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft is primary.

However, the Transportation Network Companies are not required to provide medical coverage in the event you are injured while an occupant of the rideshare vehicle. Moreover, because Uber and Lyft are a form a livery service, the ride share vehicle is not covered under your auto

mobile Personal Injury Protection (PIP) medical expense insurance coverage. Con sequently, unless you have access to health insurance, you will be uninsured for your medical expenses although, if you happen to fall into the uninsured status, you are not without recourse. An uninsured passenger may recover his/her medical expenses from the party who caused the collision. This is a departure from the previous concept of the personal injury protection laws which prohibited recovery of medical expenses from the at-fault driver.

Finally, the Limitation on Lawsuit Option which ordinarily restricts an injured mo torists’ right to sue for personal injuries, shall not be asserted by a transportation network company or a transportation network company driver in defense to any action for damages arising from a prearranged ride, nor shall it be asserted against any party not receiving personal injury protection benefits in any action for damages arising from a prearranged. This means that your personal injury lawsuit will not be burdened with the requirement that you prove that the collision caused an objectively verifiable permanent injury. Rather, any disability related to the colli sion will suffice, which is a much simpler burden of proof.

Ridesharing has become much easier and transparent with the advancement of technology. So, it’s about time the Leg islature has acted to protect the interests of the consumer by mandating insurance coverage and removing the obstacles of a lawsuit in the event of an injury while riding in a livery vehicle.

Finalist Nonpublic Teacher Of The Year Award From Saint Peter School

POINT PLEASANT BEACH – Saint Pe ter School is proud to congratulate Eileen Baglivio, finalist for the 2022 Nonpublic Teacher of the Year Award. Sponsored by the New Jersey Council for American Private Education (NJ CAPE), this year’s annual award ceremony was held virtually, announcing winner, Juliette Wester from Seton Hall Prep, and finalists, Kristine Combs from Far Hills Country Day and Eileen Baglivio from Saint Peter School. Baglivio was nominated by her school and then approved as the nominee for the Diocese of Trenton.

Baglivio has spent 30 years in education, the past 24 of those at Saint Peter School teaching Kindergarten. She holds a Master’s Degree in Education from Columbia Uni versity and holds certification in both New Jersey and New York.

Baglivio leads the Character Education and Anti-Bully Committee and helped lead Saint Peter School to become a New Jersey State School of Character. Her contributions to the community are many, including food collections for the local food pantry, fund raising to provide items for the local police department when children end up in their care, and leading our Mission program. Baglivio is committed to the service of oth ers and teaches her students the importance of empathy, compassion and the care of all God’s children.

In her recommendation, Saint Peter School

Principal, Tracey Kobrin, describes Baglivio as an asset to the school who continually goes above and beyond what is expected of her.

“As a teacher at Saint Peter School for 24 years, enough cannot be said about Eileen Baglivio and her dedication and commitment to our school and to Catholic education. She is an exemplary teacher who gives of herself each day to provide the foundation necessary to develop students of faith and character while providing rigorous academics and fostering the success of her students. She exemplifies what we all want in a Catholic school educator – someone who is commit ted to all areas of growth for her students, who helps and mentors new teachers, who heads many important committees, who is dedicated to the success of the school, who remains positive despite challenges, and who spreads love and goodness every single day. I cannot think of a more fitting honor for this amazing person and teacher!”

Of her recognition Baglivio says, “It was a tremendous honor to be recognized as a finalist for Nonpublic School Teacher of the Year. As Catholic school educators, we are charged with planting seeds of faith, char acter, and knowledge in our children. We love and nurture them and watch them grow every single day. Catholic schools provide the highest quality education while instilling Gospel values in our young people. I am so grateful to be a Catholic school teacher and incredibly grateful for this honor!”

Two New Fire Engines Delivered

LAKEWOOD – The Board of Fire Commissioners of Lakewood Fire District No.1 along with Fire Chief Jonathan Yahr are proud to announce the delivery of two new Fire Engines, Engine 1, and Engine 5. These new Fire Engines are the most recent example of the Board of Fire Com missioners commitment to investing in the infrastructure and equipment needs of the Lakewood Fire District as they seek to modernize the fleet. These Engines will be replacing cur rent engines in the fleet which have reached the end of their useful life.

Engine 1 and Engine 5 were designed with a short wheelbase to accommo date tight narrow streets. The low overall height increases safety by reducing the center of gravity and allowing the engine to pass under obstacles that previous specifications could not. These Engines are another

step in making all LFD engines iden tical. This will benefit the Department in deploying resources as needed as well as reducing the cost of ownership. Numerous improvements were made to previous specifications to increase reliability and decrease maintenance costs.

The Board of Fire Commissioners and the Fire Chief would like to thank the Lakewood Community for its contin ued support and invites the community and the press for a demonstration of the new Engines at the Lakewood Fire Departments Fire Prevention Day scheduled for October 23 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event will be held at Red Square in downtown Lakewood at 3rd Street and Clifton Avenue. There will be interactive Fire Service demonstra tions, Apparatus demonstration, Gift Bags with Fire Safety information, and Fire Safety videos for viewing.

UNDERSTANDING CONTACT LENSES

Contact lenses have come a long way in terms of comfort and long-term wearability, but for those still wary of putting a foreign objects in their eyes, it can be helpful to know exactly what that object is. Soft contacts are made from a gel-like plastic called hydrogel (because it contains water). Gas permeable lenses, often recommended for those with astigmatism, are more rigid in order to accommodate mesh-like holes. These holes allow oxygen to flow freely so they can be worn closer to the eye to provide crystal clear vision. Hybrid lenses have a permeable center surrounded by a hydrogel outer rim for comfort. Hard lenses are rarely prescribed today as they are difficult to care for and uncomfortable.

Putting in contact lenses can feel a little intimidating at first. But once you do it, you’ll feel much more relaxed. At SIGHTMD NEW JERSEY SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, we are trained to provide you with all your eye care needs - medical and surgical. Our goal is to protect your sight through early diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions with state-of-the-art equipment. If it’s been a while since you’ve had an eye exam, make an appointment by calling 732-349-5622. We offer evening hours most nights of the week.

P.S. Hydrogel lenses currently are the most commonly prescribed type of contact because they can be worn comfortably for long periods, even overnight.

“Their evaluation suggests that one side of the street parking can work as opposed to a full non-parking restriction,” Minischino said.

The right side of the road leading out of Davos Road is the side that can accommodate parking because it has curbs, he said.

“So that’s different from what we said on the first reading, so we did decide, after the new evaluation, to have parking on one side of the street,” he said. “Me, personally, I think it was a good decision.”

The council members unanimously voted in favor of the amended parking restriction ordi nance on its final reading.

Councilman Steps Down

In other news, Councilman Art Halloran has resigned, effective September 30. Halloran, who was not present at the council meeting, has served as a councilman since 2015. His term expires in December 2023.

Township attorney Scott Kenneally explained the process for replacing a council member’s unexpired term.

A state law addresses vacancies in governing bodies, he said. Brick Township is a partisan form of government. Since Art Halloran is a Democrat, a committee of township Democrats had to submit three names to the council, who, regardless of their political party, must select from those three nominees to fill the vacancy.

After a nomination has been made, a majority

of a quorum decides who will fill the unexpired term.

Councilwoman Heather deJong nominated Derrick Ambrosino, who she said has shown great leadership over the years. The vote for Ambrosino was anonymous.

The other two nominees were Maria Foster and Tom Curtis.

Mayor John G. Ducey called Art Halloran a great councilman.

“He always had perfect business acumen after all of his years working in New York…and total common sense,” the mayor said. “He always led by example by being thorough in his research in the different issues he was involved with.”

Halloran was always thorough and looked into things before making a decision, the mayor said.

“I’m going to miss him, for sure,” Mayor Ducey

said. “I wish him well and I hope he enjoys his full retirement at this stage of the game.”

After the meeting, Halloran said it was a hard decision, but felt it was “time to back off” after experiencing some life changes, including the sudden loss of his wife two years ago. The couple was married for 52 years.

“I can’t say enough about my colleagues on the council and the great administration,” he said in a phone call. “I’m proud to be a resident of Brick and to have served under Mayor John Ducey.”

Halloran said he took a couple of weeks off last year and felt guilty for missing some meetings.

“I kept in touch, but I felt it was time for me to retire,” he said. “Life is short.”

The next Council Meeting will be on Tuesday, October 25 at 7 p.m.

FLUFFY BISCUITS WITH JUICY PEACHES AND AIRY WHIPPED CREAM GIVE THAT SUMMER FEELING ANY TIME

By America’s Test Kitchen

Missing summer already? The good news is you can enjoy peach short cakes any time! Start with frozen peaches and you’re on your way to making a delicious treat with a sum mery vibe.

Quick whipped tip

If you’re making your own whipped cream, it is important not to overwhip the cream. But what happens if you take whipped cream too far? Cream, like butter and vinaigrette, is an emulsion. It’s made of tiny drop lets of fat suspended in water. As you whip cream, tiny air bubbles become held in place by those droplets of fat, making it light and fluffy. But if you whip cream for too long, the emulsion of fat and water breaks! The droplets of fat clump together and separate from the liquid.

The good news is that you’re on your way toward making butter. The bad news is that you’ll need to start your whipped cream over again, so be sure to keep a careful eye on your cream as you beat it.

In the end, if you want to save time, simply buy some whipped cream from the grocery store when you pick up the frozen peach slices.

PEACH SHORTCAKES

Makes 4 shortcakes

1 pound sliced frozen peaches, thawed

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

3 tablespoons plus 1 tablespoon sugar, measured separately, plus extra for sprinkling

1 1/2 cups (7 1/2 ounces) all-pur pose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup buttermilk

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 cups whipped cream

1. Use dry measuring cups to measure

out 3/4 cup peaches and transfer to a cutting board. Set aside remain ing peaches. Roughly chop 3/4 cup peaches.

2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped peaches, ground ginger, and 3 tablespoons sugar. Use a rubber spatula to stir until well com bined. Heat in the microwave until peaches are bubbling, about 1 1/2 minutes.

3. Remove bowl from microwave. Use potato masher to crush chopped peaches. Add remaining sliced peach es to bowl and use rubber spatula to stir until combined. Let sit until peaches are juicy, at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

4. Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

5. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.

6. In a liquid measuring cup, use a fork to stir buttermilk and melted butter until butter forms small clumps.

7. Add buttermilk mixture to bowl with flour mixture. Use a clean rubber spatula to stir until combined.

8. Spray inside of 1/2-cup dry measur ing cup with vegetable oil spray. Use a greased measuring cup to scoop batter and use butter knife to scrape off extra batter. Drop 4 scoops onto the parch ment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between biscuits. Sprinkle each biscuit generously with extra sugar.

9. Place baking sheet in oven. Bake bis cuits until the tops are golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes.

10. Remove baking sheet from oven and place on a cooling rack. Let biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 10 min utes. (This is a good time to make your whipped cream if using homemade.)

11. When biscuits are ready, split bis cuits open with a clean fork. Transfer biscuits to individual serving plates. Use a slotted spoon to divide peaches evenly among biscuit bottoms. Top each with a spoonful of whipped cream and 1 biscuit top. Serve.
