Sandy’s Psychological Scars Run Deep

By Chris Lundy The Seaside boardwalk is back. The bridges, too. But you don’t have to look too hard to find remnants of Superstorm Sandy’s devastation along the Jersey shore.

A line of waterfront homes is marred by a deserted house. A vacant property with the footprint still visible.

A house being rebuilt on the water. These are the physical scars that Sandy had been there.

Queen Carolyn Slade Harden, who lives in the Renaissance at Manchester, won the state crown at the Ms. New Jersey Senior America pageant this summer. Her modest reason for throwing her hat in the ring was to volunteer more and give back to her community.

“I had no idea that I would actually win the national title as well,” she said.

The “Age of Elegance” competition is designed for women who are 60 years of age or older. Harden shared her philosophy, gown, private interview and talent with the judges, singing “For Once In My Life,” to earn the title of queen.

Manchester BOE Candidates Share Platforms

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Earlier this month, the Manchester PTA held a “Meet the Candidates” Night for parents and the community to get to know the incumbent and challenger candidates running for a seat on the Manchester Board of Education this November.

The candidates who spoke during the one-hour session, held in Manchester Township High School’s auditorium, had one thing in common – they are all educators.

Incumbent board member Jacqueline Paolillo was unable to attend.

Melanie Biscardi is entering her 17th year as an educator and is currently a basic skills teacher at Berkeley Township Elementary School.

Barnegat Bay Still Feels Effects Of Sandy

By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY – Five years after the surge from Superstorm Sandy caused ocean waves to wash over the barrier island and flush out Barnegat Bay, the primary challenges facing the 42-mile long estuary remain the same, said executive director of Save Barnegat Bay Britta Wenzel.

“Sandy did nothing to change the leading causes of pollution,” Wenzel said in a phone interview in the week –Photo courtesy Congressman Chris Smith leading up to the anniversary. “And Sandy brought about widespread devastation of it’s probably in worse condition because we haven’t addressed the the shore area.

Baseline sampling to test the bay’s water quality were taken in the summer of 2012, or pre-Sandy, she said, and would be used for the next phase of a State plan to clean up Barnegat Bay. Governor Chris Christie explained Phase 2 of the Barnegat Bay Action Plan during an October 4 press conference held at Cattus Island Park in Toms River.

Phase 1 of the 10-point action plan was launched in 2010, which included the preservation of open space; a commitment to shut down Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant by the end of 2019; tens of millions of dollars for local stormwater infrastructure improvements projects; new laws that regulate the formulation and application of fertilizers; and a comprehensive water monitoring network for fresh and marine water quality.

During the press conference, Christie announced that his administration would be providing $20 million in grants to county and local governments and other organizations to address the non-point sources of pollution and other stressors to the bay.

He said the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) would begin to develop modeling for “focused total maximum daily load criteria for nutrients” to restore impaired areas of the bay to a healthy condition.

Phase 2 would build on Phase 1, Christie said, and would include restoration of impaired areas; enhancement of areas in the bay that are on the brink of impairment; protection of areas in good health; and assessment

and ongoing monitoring to “determine the efficacy of our actions.”

Debris that washed into the bay during the superstorm presents a new unknown, Wenzel said: “What are the long-term effects of household hazardous materials, such as paint cans and lawn mower fuel, that has not necessarily been picked up by sonar?” she asked.

The bottom of the bay would have to be raked in order for all of the hazardous material to be collected, she added.

Wenzel said that she and Save Barnegat Bay President Willie deCamp have discussed putting forward legislation mandating that household hazardous waste be stored higher than the flood level in floodplain areas.

According to Dr. Stewart Farrell Director and Founder of the Coastal Research Center at Stockton University, when the ocean washed over Mantoloking, Bay Head, Ortley Beach and Holgate, “everything imaginable” was washed into the bay, ranging from entire houses, “white goods” (appliances), furniture, sporting equipment such as bicycles, golf clubs, and thousands of pavers.

“The pile of white goods I saw in Mantoloking was about 35 feet high. There were ranges, dryers, sinks, washing machines,” Farrell said.

“They also recovered boats in the woods that had come from the barrier island that were still attached to their trailers.”

The NJDEP, which was in charge of debris removal, hired private dredgers who were brought in to suck up all the material that had ended up in the bay, much of which could be seen at low tide when the debris

marine highways,” hired 10 crews for every state channel. They dredged the channels from Raritan Bay to Cape May Point.

The telltale indicator of Sandy deposits was, in many places, about three feet of highly concentrated plant debris, such as seagrass and pine needles, over the original muddy sand bay floor, Farrell said.

Over the course of a year and a half, the NJDOT took 3,800 sample cores and photographs, and the results were turned over to FEMA for their review.

The Superstorm Sandy State Channels Dredging Project Worksheet has been approved by FEMA, at the cost of an estimated $61.5 million, covering 130 state navigation channels, said NJDOT Director of Communications Steve Schapiro.

He said the continuing NJDOT dredging to repair navigation channels due to Sandy would be paid for by NJDOT and would be eligible for 90 percent reimbursement by FEMA after the project completion.

“NJDOT will only receive reimbursement after projects are completed on a channel-by-channel basis,” Schapiro wrote in an email. “The cost of [dredging navigation channels in Barnegat Bay] is not a fixed number, and I don’t have any figures at this time,” he said. deCamp of Save Barnegat Bay said that the bay has two big problems: a health problem and “an existential problem” in sea level rise.

“Society is in a strange state of awareness.

They think that Sandy was an 800-year storm, and we don’t have to worry about it,” he said.

“But sea level rise could take away the barrier island,” deCamp said. “People don’t like to think about it or talk about it.”

was exposed, Farrell said.

The contractors emptied their dredge spoils into front end loaders and then into large sieves with rotating drums that separated the sand from the debris.

“The sand was put back on the land, and the big chunks, including many of the pavers, went elsewhere,” Farrell said.

Private contractors using side scan sonar scoured the bay floor, and divers hooked the large pieces of debris and pulled it up, he said.

“That last golf club isn’t coming back, and there are still thousands of pavers on the bay floor that are now part of the geographical record,” Farrell said.

The overwash created another problem, which was the damage to navigational channels due to shoaling from Sandy.

“FEMA said if you can prove what was deposited into the channels was from Sandy, we’ll pay 90 percent, but the problem was many of the 40 channels in Barnegat Bay had not been surveyed for over five years,” he said.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency said they would not pay for routine dredging of the channels, but they would pay for catastrophic dredging if it could be proven, Farrell recalled.

“Yours truly said that the sediment from Sandy would be different from the normal accrued sediment, so after vertical cores were sampled, and they looked at the material, FEMA agreed that it was not normal,” Farrell said.

Any contrast of the vertical cores, pre-and post-Sandy was “dramatically provable,” Farrell said. Therefore, the NJ Department of Transportation (DOT) “who is in charge of the

Sandy:

Continued From Page 1 Many people are still struggling with the psychological effects of Sandy. The time it takes to get back in one’s home is longer than the length of some of the programs to help people.

Tricia McAvoy has not been able to move back in to her house in Brick yet. Instead, she’s staying with her 100-year-old father in Point Pleasant Beach.

“I cannot physically go into that house alone without shaking,” she said.

It hasn’t been fully restored. There have been a host of construction issues, contractor issues, RREM issues, and more. From the outside, it looks like it’s complete, although looking beneath the surface you would be able to see the problems that continue to keep her from coming home. There’s always something else to go wrong.

“You’re waiting for the next shoe to drop.

You don’t want to open any letters. I’m afraid, sometimes, to answer the phone,” she said.

There are physical after-effects as well. She said she developed chronic bronchitis and has had two strokes since the storm. She used to be healthy, but now she’s on 11 pills a day.

“A lot of the stress is having to deal with the insurance company,” she said. “The stress will kill you.”

After Sandy, she worked in one of the relief centers. She was also photographed holding a sign that read “Hope.”

“Whenever there’s heavy rains, I get so nervous I start shaking,” she said. “It’ll never leave you.”

She’s not alone. The New Jersey Organizing Project was formed by a group of people who survived Sandy. They recently accumulated surveys from 492 households about what problems they are still facing. A large amount of them were in Ocean and Monmouth counties. More than 70 percent of them reported additional medical or psychological issues, or a worsening of pre-existing conditions since the storm.

“Many individuals described anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorders, often in combination with respiratory, cardiovascular, or other conditions,” according to their report, The Long Road Home. It can be found online at NewJerseyOP.com. “Many people also described an increased dependence on alcohol, tobacco products, or drugs. Of families with children, nearly 40 percent reported that their children’s school performance suffered because of the difficulties their family has faced since the storm.”

The full report outlines a score of issues that were left unresolved: people still dealing with contractors or the government, and 57 percent of them saying they think that this could happen again because towns are not prepared.

The report suggests solutions such as: The process for clawbacks should be changed to allow people to appeal, have payment plans, or have it forgiven based on their ability to pay.

Contractors should be more thoroughly screened.

The National Flood Insurance Program, and the flood maps, should be changed.

A unified approach to climate change and sea level rise should be led by Trenton.

Provide longer-term mental and physical health assistance and programming, since the effects

The Manchester Times, October 28, 2017, Page 5 of the storm last for years.

Finding Help Now There was a great outpouring of mental health help immediately after Sandy, said Dr. Adrienne Sessler-Belli, director of the disaster and terrorism branch of the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services in the Department of Health.

There were hundreds of counselors throughout the state deployed at shelters and other places to talk to people, she said. Some counselors were people who also were impacted, trained to help their neighbors and who knew what they were going through.

The counselors were a part of a program called New Jersey Hope and Healing. They went to different places in the community where impacted people were likely to be. It ended in February of 2014, giving way to other groups like New Jersey Mental Health Cares. They met people directly, and manned a hotline, having logged more than half a million residents served.

“We are aware that, after a disaster, there are different phases,” she said. “With the scope of Sandy, it becomes a more complicated recovery process.”

In the long term, some programs close, and the funding does dry up, she said.

Anniversaries are a difficult time for people, she said. The hurricane coverage in the news brings up a lot of memories and emotions.

There are some people who are overwhelmed with anxiety and other symptoms immediately after a catastrophe, but are eventually able to go back to a sense of normalcy without any great impact on their lives, she said. There are some who are not able to, and who still need to reach out for help.

“Everyone responds differently. Never judge one person’s reaction,” she said.

New Jersey has a team responding to the Virgin Islands, and they are reporting back a very similar situation of what was seen after Sandy, she said.

If you need help dealing with Sandy, reach out to New Jersey Mental Health Cares at 1-866-202-HELP. Hurricane Warnings McAvoy said that the coverage of hurricanes Harvey and Irma caused her anxiety, as news reports continually poured in about how devastating they were going to be. And then afterward, the images of the destruction hit a little close to home.

Indeed, even news reports like the one you’re reading right now might trigger some anxiety about people who lived through the disaster.

Jared Klein, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, said his group performed “post-event review” to see how they communicated about Sandy. It led to a policy change a year later in order to more accurately describe storms of that level so that it would not be confusing.

“It’s very important for a forecaster to put it into perspective,” he said. If there is something that happened in recent memory, like Sandy, then the forecaster should compare it to that so people know what kind of storm they are dealing with.

This helps the public and media understand what kind of storm is coming.

One effect that came from Sandy is that people take storm warnings more seriously.

There is less “oh, this can’t happen here.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL Hurricanes Last For Years It’s been five years since Superstorm Sandy. It blew through here in a matter of days, but years later, its impact is still being felt.

For most of us, it’s a distant memory. But for many others, the memories are haunting.

While most of us can go through our daily lives without even thinking about Sandy for days, maybe weeks, there are others who are dealing with it every waking moment because they are still not back in their homes. Government bureaucracy and insurance entanglements are the biggest problems. Contractor fraud, of course, is another problem.

Officials of towns that were hit hardest by Sandy will still tell you how

Election Referendum Questions Regarding Bert Topping’s October 14 letter on the election referendum questions, he was spot on for question one about the library bond issue, but I feel he and others should reconsider what seems to be a no brainer on question two. Consider that since most environment cleanup sites have already been cleaned then what would happen to the additional funds from future recovery

many millions of dollars in ratables have not yet been rebuilt. That figure affects everyone: Towns still have to collect taxes; they’ll just be collecting money from the people who still have houses to tax.

Keep Sandy in mind when you hear about disasters near or far. Harvey hit Texas in August. Irma hit Florida as well as islands like Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Then, there were the fires in California.

We’re nearing disaster fatigue, but it’s important to keep up support for those who lost everything in these tragedies.

If we’re still dealing with a disaster half a decade later, so will they.

Chris Lundy News Editor funds be used for? Well a slush fund for left wing environmental groups to star t. Then they would surely use funds to drum up even more charges for even more recovery funds against unsuspecting victims who just happen to own property that a previous ow ner may have polluted. Additionally, insider environmental cleanup hack companies could charge these same hapless victims outrageous clean up charges with little or no recourse. It has happened before.

Our Vote Is Our Voice There is so much talk about the dissatisfaction of ou r leaders and ou r moral code. Are things really so different or is more information available through advances in technology? All news has become breaking news.

Social media has become a community to vent frustrations. Does any of the noise being projected matter? One sure way of being heard is on Election Day. Breaking news: our next election day is November 7.

T he Las Vegas mass shooting, as horrific as it is, dominated the media reports for a week. The coverage remains static with no direction in addressing the problem and finding meaningful solutions. The louder those opposing the gun control laws as they exist, the more stubborn supporters push back in defending a constitutional right. In essence a smoke screen covers the current issues of the day.

How many of us are aware that Congress passed legislation that would crim-

Letters To TheandEditor inalize abortions after 20 maturing will tran- should be replaced with weeks of pregnancy? This is more than a Pro Choice vs Pro Life issue. Do we value our free speech? Are we able to speak our truth, hear opposing positions from those who are different from us, experience peaceful protests and live side by side as citizens? It no longer is merely a right vs left issue. There is also a division in the mist of these groups. So the question is “Do we wish to live in an OPEN or CLOSED society? Are our western values disappearing? Are we taking our bedrock beliefs for granted? What do we need to do, how do we need to view the future?

With all the gains our country has made in the name of freedom, there is a movement to undo it! What part of Freedom for all is being lost? Our minds keep working to do and then undo. When are we going to get it done? What does it look like? What we do know is that freedom is not free. It is imperative that the new doing and undoing take a fresh approach with a design where America comes together in liberty and justice for all.

Young people, we need your voice to be heard.

Our democracy prevails as the process unfolds and redefi nes itself. We need to overcome low voter turnout in off-year elections by turning our frustrations and disappointments to serve as a motivating force to get out the vote.

So, who votes and why do they vote? Baby Boomers have a romantic notion of their activism. Sur prisingly young voter patterns are right on par with the young baby boomers in their time, as repor ted

by CIRCLE (Center for Information and Research on Civic Lear ning and Engagement at Tufts University). It also shows that both generations are about 31% of the overall electorate. Millennial had a low turnout of any group at 46%, however, they are

sition to more consistent voters.

Connie Flanagan, developmental psychologist, Un ive r sit y of Wisconsin-Madison, says voting is habit forming.” Once you’ve made your f irst vote, it becomes a part of your routine. Everyone you know votes, it feels like a moral and civic obligation.” She states, “We are influenced by how we feel rather than what we are told to do.”

The elections are approaching and many issues will have a direct impact on u s de pend i ng upon who wins the election.

Our state and local legislators represent us and make decisions that affect our lives, especially when many want to break away from big government. With that said, spread the word, remind each other to show up, vote your conscience, vote for the future.

The Election Agenda Major Media Will Not Talk About Crucial to the well-being of people in the November 2017 election are four points of understanding that the candidates and the major media will not talk about.

The fi rst understanding gives the solution to virtually eliminating violence in the human condition: The Golden Rule/The Law Of Equal Return (Treat every human being as you would want to be treated/because what good and harm you measure to any human being will be measured back to you by the Creator over all your lifetimes within the human condition).

The second understanding eliminates taxation by making it clear that it is a form of legal (government approved) thiever y that

co-operativism (voluntary co-operation) based on The Law Of Equal Return (payment for services rendered and accepted). Human beings are the creation and property of the Creator, and not of the political state.

When the political state takes money out of your pocket against your will, thievery occurs. Co-operativism allows the citizen to give labor, goods, or money in exchange for a government service voluntarily agreed upon. In co-operation with each other, the citizens themselves carry out the task of government service, without paying others through the use of tax dollars to do the work for them.

The third understanding eliminates capitalism in the private sector by once again employing co-operativism based on The Law Of Equal Return. And it is health care for every human being where this understanding is most needed. And two doctors in Kansas are leading the charge by leaving out insurance companies and the government in giving primary to their patients, charging adults only 50 dollars per month and children only 10 dollars per month without deductibles.

Whether it is health care or getting a pair of shoes, the answer is co-operativism based on The Law Of Equal Return.

The fourth point of understanding is that clarification of land use rights and zoning, and not taxation and bonding, must be used to save open space and farmland along with securing people’s right to land. Five acres for open space and farmland and one acre for the homestead or business and industry comprises the 6-acre tract that all people are entitled to live on for their health and well-being.

In the upcoming election, keep these four points of understanding in mind.

Her father was one of five children and the only one in his family to graduate college, eventually earning two Master’s degrees. Both her parents were math teachers, and her sister is also a teacher in Asbury Park. Her husband started college at the age of 29 after serving in the military, and is now the principal at the Marine Academy of Technology and Science, or MATES. “They are what gave me the inspiration to be who I am today,” she said of her family members.

Her own education is comprised of two Bachelor’s degrees from Stockton College, one in Communications and one in Education, as well as a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from New Jersey City University (NJCU).

Biscardi has served as an adjunct professor at NJCU in the educational literacy department, and taught freshmen composition at Atlantic Cape Community College.

As a board member, her goal first and foremost is to listen to parents and help them.

“My ultimate goal in taking office would be to help create open lines of communication with the community, with the staff and with the students. I think that is so critical, so vital to life itself to being successful, it is so important.”

She hopes to see the quality of education continue and go further, not just for her own two children, but for her grandchildren and beyond.

As a board member, she feels her Master’s degree in Educational Leadership equips her with knowledge about school laws, while her Bachelor’s degree in Communications allows her to unite and collaborate with the school board, staff, parents and community stakeholders.

Jennifer Hudak is running for her third term as a board member and wanted the public to know a few important things about her. First, that she is a wife and mother of three children, two of whom are still in the Manchester school district.

Her oldest, Steven, is in his first semester at Rowan University studying computer science and economics. He also plays rugby, but “I don’t really like to think about that,” she said.

Her daughter Elizabeth is a junior at Manchester Township High School and a member of the National Honor Society. She can be found frequently on stage acting in the drama club plays. Her youngest son Michael is an 8th grader at Manchester Township Middle School and is active on the soccer field and in the robotics club.

She and her husband are both teachers – he a math teacher at MTHS, and she an English teacher at MATES – although she has previously taught in the Manchester school district.

“I do love my job, I can’t say enough about my job, I love being an educator,” she said.

Hudak is a lifelong resident of Manchester, attending Whiting School up through the high school, graduating as part of the class of 1990, alongside Mayor Ken Palmer and

pel groups alongside Dionne Warwick, Dee Dee Warwick and Cissy Houston, and served as choir director at churches throughout the state.

Although she will likely perform in other states as part of her Ms. Senior America duties, Harden said her role will also focus

MTHS Principal Dennis Adams.

When she met her husband after attending Monmouth University, they decided to come back to Manchester to raise their family.

“I’m extremely proud in the fact that I’m a resident of this community,” said Hudak.

She hopes her ties to Manchester, having children in two different district schools, the fact that she and her husband are both teachers, and her current experience as a board member will allow her to ensure everyone – parents, teachers, administrators and other board members – works together to provide the best possible experience for students.

“My ultimate goal is for everyone to work together for the benefit of our students.”

and enthusiasm to the district.”

Gayle Mount and is also a lifelong Manchester resident and is raising her three children in the same town she and her husband grew up in.

Mount is entering her 18th year as an educator, and currently works as a special education teacher in Brick Township.

“I am truly blessed because I have a career that I love and I am truly passionate about,” she said.

Last July, she was sworn in to the Board of Education to fill a seat left open by Mary Walters, who left to work for the New Jersey School Boards Association. “The Board of Ed chose me after interviewing several qualified candidates,” she said of the interview process.

Mount feels that her experience so far working with school district staff and attending graduations, sporting events and back to school nights has prepared her to continue her role as a board member.

“My love of learning spills over into all facets of my life – I try to learn something new into all that I do,” she said. “I want to bring my positive energy, love of learning

Ken Pate has lived in the Holly Oaks section of town for the past 27 years with his wife. His two children have both graduated from Manchester Township High School; his daughter is now a teacher of autistic children in North Carolina, and his son is in the Marine Corps, serving three tours of duty in Afghanistan and one tour in Iraq.

Pate is looking to return to the Board of Education after serving previous terms. Earlier in his career, he worked as an accountant.

Teaching is a second career for him, one that he began in 2002, with his education spanning degrees in Management, Economics, Educational Leadership and Accounting, even crossing paths with Biscardi while earning his Master’s degree at New Jersey City University.

He has something else in common with her, too.

“I also come from a family that is quite large,” he said. “I’m one of 33 grandchildren on my mother’s side and one of 29 grandchildren on my father’s side.”

Out of the grandchildren at the time, he said, he was the only one to ever go to college, working his way through.

“What I hope to do coming back on the board of education is increase our test scores,” he said.

Pate said scores have been “languishing” in recent years, increasing and decreasing, and he hopes to “right the ship” by ensuring teachers have the right programs, equipment, tools and texts to bring students into the 21st century.

He currently teaches business classes at Jackson Memorial High School.

on recruitment.

“We do have a platform – it’s primarily to inspire our peers and mentor the youth – it’s considered the Age of Elegance and letting our peers know that there’s more to life, don’t stop living, it’s never too late to pursue your dreams and to be active, and we still have a lot to give and we’re encouraging other women to do the same.”

This year, 37 states participated in the Ms. Senior America pageant out of 40 that were on the roster. Harden hopes to get the word out to additional states and encourage more women to become involved. She said there are many women out there doing

good work in their communities, but who may not be getting recognized.

She also hopes to link up with more youth, in particular to get more colleges and universities involved and to mentor students. This is something she already has some experience with through her Harden Institute for Financial Independence, or HIFI Club. She helps young people, some of them members of her own family, which is stretched across 36 states, learn the importance of money, plan for their future, and get fi nancially ready for college.

“It will be a busy year,” she said, “A bigger crown and a lot more responsibility.”

Preferred Home Health’s Joel Markel To Be Honored For Philanthropy

By Sara Grillo LAKEWOOD – Joel Markel, President of Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services (PHHC) and host of the radio show Preferred Company is being honored by the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce as one of its 2017 Citizens of the Year.

The ceremony and reception to honor Markel and other Citizens of the Year will take place at the Eagle Ridge Golf Club, 2 Augusta Blvd. on Thursday, November 9 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

PHHC, based in Eatontown, provides a wide range of medical and non-medical home health care services from pediatric to geriatric care in eight areas in New Jersey and three in Pennsylvania.

Markel, along with his wife Stephanie, who is a retired dentist, dedicate much of their time toward philanthropy, including support for the Emmanuel Cancer Foundation, where Joel is chairman emeritus and served as president for three years.

The Markels also created the Ryan Markel Memorial Fund in honor of their son, who sought medical care at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) over 20 years ago and ultimately passed away of liver cancer and related complications. The fund provides support that gives children at a West Philadelphia homeless shelter medical checkups, and has since evolved into the Homeless Health Initiative, or HHI. Hundreds of volunteers – doctors, nurses, dentists, social works and specialists – now offer free health services to children and their families in three emergency housing shelters through HHI. Markel’s passion for helping children does not end there. He has also served on the board of New Jersey-based Circle Life Foundation, which has a mission to provide palliative care for seriously ill and dying children, as well as offers support for their families.

His radio show Preferred Company airs on five radio stations throughout the state, addressing topics such as the senior community, caregivers, charitable and nonprofit causes, and various health and wellness topics alongside co-host Marianne Levy.

Townsquare Media renamed its fourth floor WOBM-AM studio in the Bob Levy Broadcast Center to “The Preferred Home Health Care Studio.”

Markel has also successfully brought to life his own historical roots within the Holocaust.

As the son of a Hungarian Auschwitz survivor,

he wanted to honor the experience his mother and millions of other victims of Jewish genocide endured. During a tour of the Roman Ghetto in 2004, he heard the story of Kappler’s Gold Extortion and decided to bring it to an American audience.

He created Oro Macht Frei, or Gold Will Set You Free, a 70-minute documentary that tells the story of the Roman Jewish experience during the Nazi occupation of Rome from September 1943 to June 1944. The film won Best International Documentary out of 15 submissions at the 13th Annual Garden State Film Festival in Atlantic City.

In addition to speaking Hebrew frequently, he also speaks Spanish. Markel grew up in Bensonhurst, New York and graduated from CUNY Brooklyn with a B.S. in Accounting.

He and his wife Stephanie are 30-year residents of Monmouth County and have two sons – James is an attorney in New York and Lane is a recent college graduate.

Tickets for the Citizens of the Year event cost $110 and include a premium open bar, buffet dinner and dessert. Kosher food will be available upon request.

Sponsorships and advertising opportunities are available and range from $200 to $1,500.

For questions, or to purchase tickets or sponsorships, contact Denise Esposito, Executive Assistant of the Lakewood Chamber at 732363-0012 or staff@mylakewoodchamber.com.

MANCHESTER – The 14th Annual Veterans Recognition Ceremony is on Thursday, November 2 at the Manchester Township High School Auditorium, 101 South Colonial Drive. Registra-

tion begins at 1:40 p.m. and the ceremony begins at 2 p.m. For more information, contact Jill Ocone at MTHS at 732-657-2121 or jocone@ mtschools.org. Refreshments will follow.

Whiting Man Sentenced To Five Years For Child Porn

By Sara Grillo WHITING – A 56-year-old Whiting man was sentenced to five years in state prison after being arrested during last year’s “Operation Statewide” child pornography sweep.

The sweep, led by the New Jersey Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, rounded up 39 other offenders from every county in the state with the help of the New Jersey State Police, Division of Criminal Justice, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, and many other state, county and local law enforcement agencies.

Superior Court Judge Linda G. Baxter handed down the sentencing to Bruce Davis on October 18 in Ocean County, making him ineligible for parole for two and a half years. Davis had pleaded guilty on June 14 to charges of second-degree distribution of child pornography. He will be required to register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law and need parole supervision for the rest of his life.

Davis admitted to using file-sharing software to duplicate child pornography files and making them available for other people to download from a shared folder on his computer. A detective from the New Jersey State Police Digital Technology Investigations Unit (DTIU) then located and downloaded the suspected videos and images of child pornography from the shared folders at two computer IP addresses that were traced back to Davis.

Davis was arrested in August 2016 when State Police DTIU detectives executed a search warrant at his home and confiscated several devices, including a laptop, which he was using to download child pornography from the file-sharing network when officers arrived.

A forensic investigation into the laptop exposed over 100 files of child pornography, including more than 25 files ready to be downloaded by other users.

“As Davis has learned, those who promote the cruel exploitation of children by viewing and sharing child pornography online are going to find themselves viewing and sharing the inside of a prison cell,” said Attorney General Christopher S. Porrino. “We’ll continue to crack down on these offenders and the abhorrent materials they traffic through sweeps like Operation Statewide.”

File-sharing networks used by offenders to distribute child pornography work in the same way that other websites share music and movies. Someone who is in the possession of illegal images can copy them and make them available on computers that they control, so that other offenders can download them. This leads to the re-victimization of children who are sexually assaulted or abused, because videos and photos of child pornography are constantly recirculating.

All 40 men arrested during Operation Statewide were allegedly linked to using “Peer to Peer” file-sharing networks in order to distribute child pornography. Law enforcement is aware of a large library of images and videos of child pornography, which can be traced in many ways on the internet, in these cases leading to arrests.

“Offenders like Davis think they can hide behind the anonymity of the internet, but we have the technology to track them down and bring them to justice for their crimes, which perpetually victimize the children involved,” said Director Elie Honig of the Division of Criminal Justice. “Our tough child pornography law enables us to put significant distributers of these materials in prison for lengthy terms with mandatory periods of parole ineligibility.”

Attorney General Porrino and Director Honig urge that anyone with information about the distribution of child pornography on the internet or possible exploitation or sexual abuse of children should contact the New Jersey Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Tip Line at 888-648-6007.

Elbow Up

For some folks, inserting your hearing aid into your ear can be a real struggle. Sometimes you twist and turn the hearing aid which eventually creates a sore ear.

Here are a few tricks you can utilize to properly insert your hearing instrument into your ear canal.

First, for custom, non-behind-the-ear products, the “red” writing on the aid is for the right ear and the “blue” writing is for the left ear.

Second, when you are inserting the aid, the “vent hole” is usually on the bottom of the aid facing outside.

Third, as you are trying to insert the instrument, make sure your elbow is “up” in line with your ear and push toward your nose. If your elbow is down, you may not insert the aid in the right direction. Thus, the aid may “stick” out of your ear and constantly ring.

Remember, if you are struggling with hearing aid insertion, keep your elbow up while inserting the aid. This will make life a lot simpler and alleviate potential ear soreness and feedback.

Finally, make sure you keep in close contact with your hearing healthcare professional who is there for guidance.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

4 Powerful Medicinal Herbs For Breast Cancer

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. There’s no time like the present to begin the changes necessary for better breast health. The take-home message today is that you can change the way you break down estrogen in your own body. You have direct control over it and that’s important because estrogen break down is different for everyone.

Let’s start with the basics. When you say the word “estrogen” that’s actually three compounds: Estradiol, Estrone and Estriol. Of the three, estradiol is most strongly associated with causing cancer than the other two.

Men and women both make estrogen.

It’s the breakdown product from testosterone actually. If you have low testosterone, you’ll have low estrogen too.

Your body breaks down estrogen into metabolites and some of those are more likely to cause cancer than others. Like I said, you can change the way that your body breaks down the circulating estrogen. So right now, I’m going to give valuable information about how to manufacture your own healthy estrogen metabolites and make it such that you break it down into forms that are less likely to cause cancer. If you are currently undergoing chemotherapy, please ask your doctor if these are right for you: Rosemary – I recommend this either as fresh herb from your grocery store. Cook with it, and make tea with it. Rosemary is a powerful antioxidant that has anti-inflammatory effects similar to a COX 2 inhibitor drug. Rosemary has anti-microbial and direct benefit for breast and prostate health. It has anti-tumor benefits.

It works by helping you break down estrogen into the safer anti-cancer metabolites.

Broccoli – It’s impossible to eat 4 pounds of broccoli every day so take the supplement called I3C or DIM. It helps to balance estrogen levels in the body, and appears to have anti-cancer effects particularly for the breast and prostate. Too much crash your thyroid levels due to the goitrogenic effect.

Flax Seed – This is kind of like plantbased estrogen (termed phytoestrogens) which kicks off dangerous estrogens from your cells. Men with prostate problems could benefit. Women with “Estrogen Dominance” hallmarked by heavy periods, breast pain, cramping and anxiety might benefit from flax seed. I recommend buying fresh flax seed and grinding it in a coffee grinder and sprinkling it on yogurt or oatmeal.

Sage – Salvia officinalis is the botanical name. Just like rosemary, sage contains a lot of “carnosic acid.” This compound was shown in numerous clinical trial to exert apoptosis which means cancer cells die off. Carnosic acid when combined with the breast cancer drug, Tamoxifen, works more effectively together to slow down cancer growth. You can buy fresh sage herb and cook with it, or herbal extracts at any health food store.

There are many other alternatives that I haven’t elaborated on such as vitamin D, curcumin and iodine, so if you’re interested in those, come to my website and sign up for my newsletter. Please ask your physician or oncologist if these are right for you. Cooking with the fresh herbs should be just fine.

Ocean County College Foundation Names New Executive Director

TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County College Foundation has named Kenneth J. Malagiere of Toms River as its new Executive Director.

He assumed the position on October 9. Mr. Malagiere formerly served on the Ocean County College Foundation Board of Trustees for seven years.

“I am so very humbled and excited to begin my new role as Executive Director for such

an outstanding college foundation,” said Mr. Malagiere.

“The Ocean County College Foundation’s dedication to the College’s students and the community has had a meaningful and tangible impact on the entire region. As Executive Director, I will continue to live the mission of the Foundation, working with its Board members and our staff to grant scholarships

to Ocean County College’s student body, encourage lifelong learning, and provide access to the tremendous opportunities offered on campus and abroad, proving Ocean County is a great place to live, work, and learn,” Mr. Malagiere added.

from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2005 with a degree in Political Science and International Studies.

Ken is not new to the Foundation Board, during his tenure he was Chair of our Foundation Gala for several years and Vice Chair of the Foundation working with the staff and fellow board members. I am sure he will continue with the same energy, integrity, and dedication he did on the Board. I look forward to working with Ken in his new capacity,” said Virginia Haines, Chair, Ocean County College Foundation Board of Trustees.

“The Ocean County College Foundation is a dynamic foundation, ready to meet the challenges of the evolving needs of our students and the entire community we serve,” Mr. Malagiere concluded.

Mr. Malagiere lives in Toms River with his husband Jonathan Z. Petro, Co-Managing Partner of the Law Firm of Carluccio, Leone, Dimon, Doyle, and Sacks in Toms River.

This fall, Mr. Malagiere and Mr. Petro will be honored by the Ocean County YMCA with its highest award, “The Red Triangle,” for the couple’s dedication and contribution to the mission of the “Y.” The Ocean County College Foundation is a private nonprofit organization dedicated to the growth and development of the College through scholarships, endowments, and capital and special projects. The Foundation supports the efforts of Ocean County College to make higher education accessible to all Ocean County residents. The Foundation provides students with opportunities to continue higher education while discovering and exploring the wealth of possibilities around them.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Hypochondriac Husband

Dear Joel, My husband is a hypochondriac. If he catches a cold, he thinks it’s pneumonia; if he pulls a muscle working outside, he is convinced he has arthritis. Even when he’s just plain tired, he is sure it’s a symptom of something really wrong. I had to block most of the health channels on the TV. Last year when I sprained my ankle, he even started limping! Now with cold and flu season upon us, I am preparing for the worst. How would you go about convincing him he’s got a lot of living to do?

Betsy, Lakehurst

Dear Betsy, I don’t mean to chuckle about your problem, but it reminds me of that funny old Rock Hudson and Doris Day film, “Send Me No Flowers.” Maybe you could rent a copy and watch that together. Sometimes seeing yourself through others is a real eye opener.

You said it best when you said, “he’s got a lot of living to do.” As a the owner of a company that works with people facing serious health challenges, you realize how very precious every minute of good health is. That being said, he may still not want to give up his hypochondria because he has made it his defining drama. He is looking for an audience, so don’t be too available to ‘sick’ conversations. Maybe all he needs is a new obsession. Try some new activities together, and keep lots of hand sanitizer and wipes everywhere. It will calm him down and keep you healthy too.

By Robert C. Shea Esq. and Christopher R. Shea Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Injured At Work? Know Your Rights!

By Christopher Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea and Associates YOU have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. Unlike most personal injury cases, a person who suffers an injury at work must assert his/her claim in accordance with the Workers Compensation Act. Under this Act, the burden is placed on the employer to provide medical care to any employee that suffers an injury arising out of the employment, or in the course of employment. However, in some instances, an employer may deny workers compensation coverage by claiming that you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for Workers Compensation benefits. If a claim is disputed, you may stand to lose critical benefits, such as medical care coverage, financial assistance, and job retraining. Therefore, it is important for every employee to have a basic understanding as to their rights under the Workers Compensation Act. When the Workers Compensation Act was passed, it established that an employer must provide medical care to any employee who suffers an injury arising out of either: (1) a Traumatic Injury or (2) an Occupational Exposure or Disease.

The first category of injury, known as Traumatic Injury, occurs whenever an employee suffers an injury that is caused by, or accelerated by, a work place “event”. In most instances, any injury that affects your ability to work will be deemed compensable. Commonly Traumatic Injuries range from: back injuries, infections, hernias, burns, stroke, fractures, broken bones, traumatic hearing loss, and traumatically induced cancers. If such an injury has occurred,

you must file a claim petition for Workers Compensation bene- Christopher R. Shea Esq. fits within two years of the date of the accident, two years of the employer’s failure to pay you in accordance with an agreement, or within two years of the last payment of compensation.

The second category of compensable injury established under the Workers Compensation Act is known as Occupational Exposures and Diseases. In general, Occupational Exposures and Diseases are restricted to diseases that are, or were, characteristic of a particular trade, occupation, or place of employment. Since this type of injury sometimes take years to manifest, the Workers Compensation Act has established different provisions for filing such claims. Under the act, a person who suffers from an Occupational Exposure or Disease must file a claim petition within two years after the date on which the injured employee first becomes aware of the nature of the disability and its relationship to the employment.

Thus, under the wording of this Act, an injured employee maintains his right to medical benefits, regardless of when the last exposure occurred, so long as he files within two years of the date he is notified of injury.

Accordingly, if you feel that you have suffered one of the aforementioned injuries it is of the utmost importance that you contact a Workers Compensation attorney to secure the benefits that you are entitled to.

Stretching: Remaining Flexible to Reduce Aches and Pains By: Ken McClelland, PTA, Toms River Physical Therapist Assistant

F

eel like you are walking funny? Can’t bend down as easily as you could? Do you have aches, and pains, muscles feel tight? Having difficulty getting up from chairs, out of bed, or in and out of the car? If you have answered yes to any, or all of these questions you may benefit from physical therapy to assist you to incorporate stretching into your daily or weekly routine. When your muscles tighten and reduce in length you will often find your most simple of tasks challenging due to the decreased range of motion of your joints and body which stem from your muscular restrictions.

At All Care Physical Therapy Center, highly trained physical therapists can identify, assess, and create a well-rounded home exercise program including the best stretches for your specific needs to help you regain that flexibility and help you perform you daily tasks.

People often feel a pain somewhere and think that is the only area to address or correct and the pain will go away for good. More often than not if the pain is not due to an injury or traumatic event, there is another place that is experiencing pain, causing the body to compensate and cause strain on other muscles and contribute to the pain you are experiencing. Simply addressing the area where the pain is felt can result in temporary relief but if you do not address the other muscular restrictions in the surrounding area, there is a good chance the pain will come back in time. Each person has over 600 muscles in their body and certain people can have upwards of 850. Incorporating a full body stretching program will allow for proper body mechanics and reduce the chances of straining a muscle. Trained physical therapists can assess your muscle restrictions, analyze your movement patterns, and then augment the proper stretching routine,

creating a plan of care to address patient’s areas of pain and dysfunction.

BENEFITS OF STRETCHING Increase flexibility/range of motion - with stretching a muscle and increasing the length of the soft tissue it will allow for increased pain free range of motion which will result in you being able to reach, bend, walk, and move with greater ease.

Improved health - increased flexibility results in increased blood flow, decreased tension on nerves, and decreased pain levels as your muscle are not as restricting on your body which will promote overall improved health.

Reduced risk of injury - having less tension in your muscles and having increased flexibility will reduce the chances of tearing or straining your muscles, reduce your risk of falling, and decrease your chances of injury.

KEYS TO STRETCHING PROPERLY Time - Research has shown that holding a stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds is required to have plasticity (permanent gains) in soft tissue length.

Holding the stretch for 30 seconds (up to one to two minutes) is vital to gaining the increased length of the muscle necessary to reduce the muscular restrictions.

Tension - Many people believe a stretch is a contest to see how far you can stretch your muscle, this is not the case. You must have enough tension in order to lengthen the tissue and increase flexibility; however, the stretch should be comfortable and not cause pain.

Technique - Form is important to make sure you are targeting specific muscles designed for the stretch. Minor corrections in technique and form guided by a physical therapist, will make sure that significant gains are obtained.

At All Care Physical Therapy Center, we have well educated, highly trained professionals that have the

ability to assess muscular restrictions and identify the course of action to reduce muscular restrictions, reeducate the body in proper movement, and reinforce with strengthening to allow for you to regain the ability to perform your daily tasks. The physical therapists will educate and oversee the proper technique of your stretching and set you up with a home exercise program designed for you and your specific needs and goals. Stretching and remaining flexible can benefit everyone from young to old, male or female, and athlete or non-athlete.

If you are having trouble with moving around and completing all of the day-to-day activities that you would like to be doing, please stop into one of our physical therapy clinics and have one of our physical therapists analyze and create a program to promote your health and well-being.

KEN MCCLELLAND, PTA Ken graduated from Union County College in 2016 with an Associate’s Degree in Applied Sciences upon completion of the Physical Therapy Assistant Program.

He gained experience during his clinical affiliations in acute/inpatient hospitals, as well as, outpatient orthopedic settings. During his affiliations he worked with patients with total hip/knee replacements, MS, CVA, neurological, and musculoskeletal conditions. He believes in a comprehensive analysis of the body as a whole and open communication while using a variety of manual therapy and therapeutic exercises to promote recovery.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of October 14 - October 20

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Friction and fiction may be the keywords of the upcoming week. Avoid losing your temper with irritations at the workplace and steer clear of offers that seem too good to be true.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When your head is in the clouds you may overlook stumbling blocks beneath your feet. In the week ahead your romantic side may blossom. A co-worker may want to be more than a friend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A wild goose chase might be beneficial. You are attracted by things of dubious value. This week you might not profit from financial transactions yet could derive benefit from the process.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Hold up high standards. If you face a series of difficulties in the week ahead it isn’t necessarily because you are doing something wrong, but because you are doing something right.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your business sense might be in the spotlight as this week unfolds. You might find favor with the high and mighty and ambitions may be achieved, but may be surprised by financial discrepancies.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Phil Collins sang about the “land of confusion” and you might know just what he meant. In the week ahead you might find it difficult to navigate the ins and outs of relationships and negotiations.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be fated to have someone cater to your every desire early in the week. You may enjoy wallowing in romantic fantasies, but may find communications with a loved one is challenging.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the week ahead you demonstrate your talent for teamwork. Compromise, however, only works when everyone keeps the bargain. Don’t risk your money or reputation on a handshake.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do your best. Slam the door on unpleasant memories and make only happy ones. Honor your commitments and uphold the highest ethical standards in the week to come.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the upcoming week you may be reminded of obligations to even when they come at a cost to yourself. Co-workers or workplace activities could tempt you to take the easy way out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can’t please everyone. You won’t even please yourself with expensive purchases or investments this week. What you think is a bargain could prove costly if you buy on credit.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Opposites may attract as well as repel. You may be faced with a sudden infatuation in the week ahead. Take time to reconsider before making an irrevocable commitment or crucial decision.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Pure Elegance:Think Dinner Party Cooking Can’t Be Quick And Easy? Think Again.

By Wolfgang Puck THYME-STEAMED STUFFED CHICKEN LEGS WITH WATERCRESS SAUCE Serves 4 For the stuffed chicken legs: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 small onion, minced 2 ounces (60 g) button mushrooms, quartered 8 ounces (250 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, coarsely ground or chopped Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup (60 mL) port 1/2 cup (125 mL) chicken broth 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves 4 whole chicken legs with thighs, thigh bones removed by butcher and reserved for steaming liquid For steaming: 1 quart chicken broth or stock 3 or 4 fresh thyme sprigs 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil For the watercress sauce: 1/2 bunch watercress 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 lemon, juiced Up to several hours ahead of serving time, make the filling: Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil.

When the oil is hot, add the onions and saute for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and chopped chicken breast, and saute, breaking up the chicken with a wooden spoon, until the mushrooms begin to give off their liquid and the chicken is no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper.

Remove from the heat and add the port. Turn down the heat slightly, return the pan to the heat, and cook until the port is reduced by about one quarter, taking care not to let the vapors from the port ignite. Add the chicken broth and cook for 2 minutes longer.

With a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken-mushroom mixture to a bowl. Return the pan to the heat and reduce the liquid to a syrupy consistency, about 5 minutes. Add the reduced liquid to the chicken mixture. Add the parsley and stir well. Set aside to cool.

Season the chicken legs inside and out with salt and pepper.

Place the legs on a clean work surface, skin-side down. Place about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the cooled filling inside the boned portion of each leg. Fold the meat neatly over the filling and secure closed with a wooden toothpick.

To steam the chicken legs, combine the chicken stock, reserved bones, thyme, and olive oil in the bottom of a steamer or in a saucepan large enough to support a steamer basket. Bring the steaming liquid to a boil.

Place the steamer basket over the steaming liquid. Add the chicken legs in a single layer and cover. Steam until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.

Remove the chicken legs from the steamer and keep warm while you make the sauce. Place 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the steaming liquid in a blender. Add the watercress, cover, and blend well, following the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid spattering. With the blender running on low speed, add the butter a little bit at a time. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

To serve, slice the boneless part of each chicken leg crosswise into 3 slices. Spoon some sauce on a plate and top with the chicken leg, slightly overlapping the sliced, stuffed thigh pieces.
