By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS - It was a sunny Saturday morning two years ago when a pipe bomb detonated inside a Seaside Park garbage can. The pipe bomb had been planted there by a terrorist who is now serving a life sentence. The event signaled
the cancellation of the 2016 Semper Five Marine Corps Charity 5 Kilometer Run. The event returned last year with additional security by various county, state and municipal law enforcement and a move from Seaside Park to Seaside Heights. The turnout for last year’s

Residents Rally For Peace
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER - All they were saying was give peace a chance. More than 50 people came out to chant, sing, and discuss the need and benefits of ending all wars to make the world a better place during a rally held in front of the Toms River Township Municipal building on Washington Street. The rally, which included music, numerous signs, posters and banners and a march around the sidewalk of the downtown area, was hosted by the Green Party of Ocean County. The rally was co-hosted and included speakers from
Our Revolution Ocean County, Green Party of Monmouth Count y, Indust r ial Union Council, Central Jersey Coalition Against Endless War, Coalition for Peace Action, New Jersey Revolution Radio, Help Not Handcuffs and several other organizations.

Continued From Page 1 social media account Monday night, confirming his departure from the office. “Bitter sweet feelings today filming what most likely will be the last public statement for OCPO, barring (God forbid) any unforeseen calamities, as we enter the final three weeks of Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato’s appointment. Been a great ride in terms of the outstanding enforcement accomplishments, initiatives and statewide firsts implemented over the last five years. OCPO has never been in better shape,” Della Fave wrote. “I was truly blessed to have been a part of it. Nothing better than going out on top. No mouthpiece f luff – just fact. I thank Prosecutor Coronato and all the great folks at OCPO for making going to work so fulfilling and fun.” Coronato spoke to Jersey Shore Online back in February when it was first discussed that he might not be asked to stay on as prosecutor. “It’s a privilege and honor to be the prosecutor. It’s really the best job,” Coronato said. “I’ve instituted programs - as hard as it is to believe five years have gone by as quickly as they have - and I’d

like to finish out some of the programs I’ve instituted. It’s not that easy to get them started, and it would be great to be reappointed and have another five years to finish out a lot of the work that I’ve done. So, the answer is if given the opportunity, I’d like to continue to serve, but that’s a little bit out of my hands.” Ocean County was the first county in the state to equip its officers with Narcan, a nasal naloxone spray for emergency treatment of suspected opioid overdose. Coronato’s office has many firsts to combat opioid use: the emergency room overdose recovery program; Blue HART program, used by seven county police departments to assist drug users for recovery; pawn shop registry database, which tracks known users to stop them from selling goods to feed their habit; K-9s in school to assure Drug Free School Zones; and training for school nurses in how to use Narcan. Murphy’s office made an announcement appointing Billhimer upon the consent of the State Senate. Billhimer is listed as a resident of Bayville and has a law office in Toms River. He had previously run for a spot in the New Jersey General Assembly in the 9th District alongside former South Toms River Councilwoman Carla Kearney.

Independent & Assisted Living –Photos by Bob Vosseller Seaside Semper Five runner Erin Reynolds, Lacey, left, joins her son Grayson, 2, and her mother-in-law Marge Reynolds of Toms River during the annual event held on the Seaside Heights boardwalk.
Semper Five: Continued From Page 1 Thomas F. Kelaher, who served as master of ceremonies for the event and is a retired U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant colonel. Kelaher added that, as in 2017, “we have many law enforcement agencies here and we appreciate all of them for making it safe.” “My husband was 20 feet away from where the garbage can exploded,” Erin Reynolds of Forked River said as she held her 2-year-old son Grayson. “I was pregnant but was still going to run that year. I was on the starting line when it was called in. It was scary but I feel safe today. They stepped up the security and I think there are enough security here to keep the bad guys away.” Reynolds is a member of the Bella In Motion Running team. “We have 20 members and we have 12 or 13 running today.” Her mother-in-law, Marge Reynolds of Toms River, was there as well to lend some moral support for her run. “I’m a walker and I’m slow,” Marge Reynolds said with a chuckle. “Eileen Sochasko of Pine Beach said she and her husband had not been part of the event that year. “We try to do it every year.” Sochasko brought along her 2-year-old son Andy for the sunny day run. “It is a beautiful day. They did a great job with security and it is a good day for a run. My husband Matt is doing the 5 K. It is a nice day to come out after the week of rain we’ve had.” The Hannigan family of Haddon Heights were enjoying the sunshine as well. They were pulling a wagon featuring a small American flag containing their daughters Lucy and Isabelle. “This is our first time,” Jackie Hannigan said. She said that she and her husband Dan were “very excited and we haven’t even run yet but I love the atmosphere here and we are planning to come back next year.” Lucy and Isabelle made a special sign for her mom to support her participation in the event. “They are my cheering squad,” Jackie Hannigan said. Heather Viveiros of Massachusetts carried two flags including an American flag and a jacket featuring a variety of military patches and patriotic running pants that featured the symbols of each branch of the military. She is the founder of the Stride and Ride Relay to be held in Boston on Oct. 6. The course goes to Washington, D.C. and is 911 miles. Race Director Dr. Frank Costello spoke about
the work of the Marine Raider Foundation which is the fundraising cause of the run. Since May of 2012, the foundation has provided over $3,100,000 in support to Marines, Sailors and families of Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC). The foundation’s goal is to meet the unmet needs by the government and other agencies, with a focus on resiliency through its main programs which include funding to implement an executive-level transition program for Raiders stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, funding to offset expenses resulting from uncovered medical treatments and travel for 15 Raider families, funding for 18 family resiliency events hosted by Marine Raider Battalions and funding to bring a dozen World War II Marine Raiders to the 2018 Marine Raider Reunion hosted by the Marine Raider Association held in July in Washington, D.C. Costello said 95 percent of the proceeds from the day’s event will be donated to the U.S. Marine Raider Foundation which is a national charity “benefitting Marines and Sailors who have been injured, wounded, or who have lost their lives in service to our nation, as well as their families. Costello also thanked News 12 New Jersey for being a sponsor to the event and promoting it. Among the several thousand people who came out to run and support the event were 50 members of Team Stash who wore a team T-shirt and were running in the 5 kilometer event in honor of Stanley Stash Matejkowski Jr. This year’s Seaside Semper Five was dedicated to “Stash,” a resident of the borough who died at age 92 on July 14. The team was made up of his family and friends. Stash had supported the event since its inception five years ago. He served in the Marine Corps during World War II and took part in two of the war’s most significant battles, Guam and Iwo Jima. He was wounded during Iwo Jima, where more than 6,800 Marines and Sailors lost their lives. He was awarded the Purple Heart. Team Stash raised more than $1,800 for the Marine Raider Foundation. Mayor Anthony Vaz was pleased with the day’s event. “We had a nice crowd and it was for a good cause and a lot of time and effort went into it by the members of the event committee. I saw a lot of kids running and we had a lot of families. It made for a good family event.” The mayor also took note of the many law enforcement officers and the state police helicopter that hovered over the running course and boardwalk during the morning which contributed to it being secure.

FEMA Needs To Respond To Flooding In Brick From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Tom MacArthur spoke with FEMA Administrator Brock Long
recently regarding last month’s flooding in Brick. More than 100 homes were evacuated and most of the
victims are seniors, who are still recovering from the storm. “Brick recently experienced devastating f lash f looding, affecting many of our seniors. I had a productive conversation with (Federal Emergency Management Agency) Administrator Long about this flooding and actions still needed to be taken in the
Governor Phil Murphy by the Center for American Progress in its listing of New Jersey as the national leader among states for having taken action to protect consumers from federal sabotage of the Affordable Care Act. “Our work is based on the core belief that health care is a right – not a privilege,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “Federal attacks on the Affordable Care Act and rising costs of health care have made premiums less affordable for residents buying plans on the individual market. We have taken deliberate actions to defend the gains made by the ACA and our work is demonstrating results. We will not back down from our

work to protect New Jersey families and ensure they get the health care they deserve. My administration remains committed to doing everything it can to improve access to coverage and care.” “States across the country are increasingly challenged in their efforts to ensure residents have access to quality affordable health coverage and to protect against disruption in the market,” said Department of Banking and Insurance Commissioner Marlene Caride. “Under this administration, New Jersey has worked to stabilize the market and to implement innovative measures to improve access and affordability. Without these actions by the state, rates would have increased by double digits over last year; instead, residents will see a decrease in the cost of health insurance for the

Timeline of Congressman MacArthur’s actions following Brick flooding: Aug. 17 - Rep. MacArthur sent a letter to Administrator Long asking for support from FEMA in immediate response to flooding. Aug. 21 - Rep. MacArthur visited those affected in Greenbriar and witnessed damage. Aug. 24 - Rep. MacArthur

MacArthur visited Greenbriar again to meet with seniors still recovering from flooding and volunteers helping with the recovery. Sept. 10 - Call between FEMA Administrator Long and Rep. MacArthur.
Individual Health Insurance Rates To Decrease In 2019
From The Desk Of The
TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy announced that aggressive actions taken by his administration to stabilize the health insurance market in New Jersey will result in an overall average rate decrease of 9.3 percent in the individual market for 2019. The reduction in health insurance rates is the direct result of New Jersey’s first-in-the-nation action to continue an individual mandate, after the elimination of the mandate by the Trump Administration at the federal level, and to implement a reinsurance program beginning in 2019. The two laws, signed by Governor Murphy in May, were cited
community. I again urged Ad mi nist rator Long to do everything he can to make any and all federal resources available to Brick to assist with ongoing rebuilding efforts and to do it with all due haste. I will continue working with FEMA to ensure that the federal government stands ready to help the people of Brick.”

upcoming plan year. This is major progress for New Jersey, and it is contrary to the experiences of other states in the nation. We are committed to defending access to coverage and care and look forward to continuing our work to address affordability for New Jersey residents.” Policies in Washington aimed at dismantling the Affordable Care Act have created enormous uncertainty in insurance markets nationwide. The repeal of the individual mandate led to requested rate increases in states across the country. If New Jersey had taken no action to stabilize its market, carriers indicated to the Department of Banking and Insurance that residents would have seen premium rates in the individual market rise by 12.6 percent over last year. Instead, as a result of the
continuation of an individual mandate in New Jersey, carriers requested a 5.8 percent average increase in premium rates. Federal approval of the 1332 State Innovation Waiver in August, designed to lower anticipated premium rate increases, ultimately resulted in a combined or total average decrease of 9.3 percent in the 2019 rates compared to 2018. Department of Banking and Insurance Commissioner Caride today signed the reinsurance program agreement and submitted it to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The program approval is for a five-year period from 2019 to 2023. The reinsurance program, created under the New Jersey Health Insurance Premium Security Act (S1878), will reimburse insurers for
certain high-cost claims in the insurance market. The program is designed to lower premiums by 15 percent compared to what they would have been without the program. Under the parameters for 2019, the program will reimburse 60 percent of claims between $40,000 and $215,000 worth of claims generated by an individual in a single year. The program will be funded by three sources: (1) federal funding granted through the waiver; (2) revenue generated from the individual mandate; and (3) if necessary, an annual appropr iation f rom the General Fund. The state level individual mandate, established by the New Jersey Health Insurance Market Preservation Act (A3380), takes effect Jan. 1. Open enrollment for 2019 plans begins Nov. 1.

Letters To The Editor For MacArthur, Rich People Come First My mailbox has been stuffed in recent weeks with all kinds of malicious and false propaganda emanating from the Tom MacArthur re-election campaign. In these mailers, TMac claims he lowered taxes for New Jersey’s households. That may be true in some instances. But there are many others, including myself, whose taxes are going up. Losing the full deduction for state and local taxes is bad enough, but the Trump/ MacArthur tax bill also eliminates personal exemptions, which means those who itemize deductions, regardless of whether they pay state and local taxes or not, will see their effective tax rate go up. TMac knows this tax bill is bad for New Jersey as he was the only Republican Congressman from our state to vote in favor of it, all four of the other Republican Congressmen (Leonard Lance, Chris Smith, Frank LoBiando and Rodney Frelinghuysen) voted against it because they knew it was bad for New Jersey. The Trump/MacArthur tax bill not only raises taxes on some individual taxpayers but raises the tax rate for small corporations as well. In prior years small corporations paid a fifteen percent tax rate, but thanks to Donald Trump and Tom MacArthur these same corporations will have to pay a twenty-one percent tax rate, the same as the biggest corporations. D e s pit e t he Tr u m p/ MacArthur tax increases, the biggest hit to many New Jersey bank accounts are the humongous increases, as much as 30 percent for health insurance premiums, especially for individual policyholders with preexisting or chronic conditions. This is the direct result of Republican efforts, led by Tom MacArthur, to repeal the Affordable Care Act
Letters To The Editor and eliminate protection nal Chambers through the for people with serious and lasting medical conditions. A significant number of New Jersey residents who live in the third congressional district have lost thousands of dollars in tax increases and higher health insurance premiums as a direct result of the policies implemented by the Trump/MacArthur Administration. They should remember this when they vote in November. Ken Bank Barnegat
MacArthur’s Bipartisanship Is What Washington Needs ‘Bipartisanship’ is a word of ten touted in today’s polarized political sphere with little substance to backup such a claim. The Lugar Center and Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy created a ranking system to grade each Congressperson on how regularly they work across the aisle in Washington. During this polarizing time in American politics, I am proud that my congressman, Tom MacArthur, was ranked one of most bipartisan members in the House of Representatives. It is no secret that New Jersey Congressional District 3 is a swing district. Many different opinions range from the Delaware River in Burlington County across to the Jersey shore towns in Ocean County. MacArthur’s strong bipartisanship rating is a reflection of his understanding and willingness to represent all walks of life in his district. He focuses on solving real problems, such as fighting the south Jersey opioid crisis and keeping Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst open, and isn’t afraid to reach across the aisle to get work done. MacArthur even enters Congressio-
democrat ent rance and mingles with his counterparts before going to his seat. Tom MacArthur is a bipartisan problem solver. Tom MacArthur’s opponent, Andy Kim, will resist everything Republicans do, simply because he is an extreme partisan activist. There is enough gridlock in Washington – we don’t need Andy Kim to add more.
MacArthur Fighting Opioid Epidemic
I recently received a deceitful f lyer in the mail attacking Andy Kim (a candidate for Congress) as a tax dodger among other things. I have seen u nt r ut h f u l a d s o n T V about Kim also. Who is behind these unscr upulous attacks? None other t ha n ou r Cong ressma n Tom MacArthur. Apparently, he cannot run on his own record but has to attack his opponent. MacArthur’s record shows his allegiance to Trump even if it goes agai nst us, his own constituents. He also has ref used to hold town hall meetings. He wou ld g l a d ly t a ke away our health care and protection for pre-existing conditions and was Trump’s right-hand man trying to accomplish this. MacArthur represents big money, not we the people, which he has proven time and time again with his voting. Andy Kim has served as a national security official under presidents of both parties. He is a Rhodes Scholar. He helped take on ISIS and advised U.S. generals in Afghanistan. He will be the spokesperson for middle class America.
Our police and first responders wage a battle against the disease of addiction everyday. It has ravaged the south Jersey community, showing no mercy, sparing no age, race, or socioeconomic status. No family is immune in Burlington and Ocean counties - we all have a loved one or friend who is suffering or passed away due to their drug addiction. In Washington D.C., Congressman Tom MacArthur is fighting for emergency responders to ensure we have resources we need to fight the flow of illegal drugs in our community. From 2015 through the winter of 2018, almost 24,000 lives in New Jersey have been saved due to the timely use of the overdose reversal drug naloxone by emergency officials (commonly known under the trade name Narcan). Congressman MacArthur, who is the co-chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, has worked tirelessly to break the stigma of addiction and prioritize funding for first responders through the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA). An all-encompassing bill tackling addiction from many angles, CARA expanded the accessibility of Narcan to local law enforcement, helping to make our communities safer. After CARA’s passage into law, Tom MacArthur supports CARA 2.0 which would authorize $1 billion to fight opioids and provide enhanced training for our first responders. Tom MacArthur truly values our police and emergency responders, knowing they are the brave members of society who run toward problems while others flee. He has the best interest of first responders and all dealing with the opioid crisis at heart.

New Assistant Superintendent Named For OCVTS
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Michael B. Maschi, Ed.D., has been named Assistant Superintendent of Ocean County Vocational Technical School. Maschi is a licensed clinical social worker who served as Director of Special Services in Lacey schools since 2012. That department serves more 1,000 special needs students and their families. He started his career, however, working in healthcare for those with substance abuse issues and mental health disorders. He transitioned to education with the Barnegat Township School District. He then worked in Little Silver before going to Lacey. “I have been incredibly impressed with
the OCVTS’ work since I moved to Ocean County in 2004. Knowing that meeting the career and technical needs of a diverse population of students requires collaboration, consultation, and meaningful partnerships with our Ocean County community. I look forward to working closely with everyone to continue to provide outstanding programs/ services for our students. I join OCVTS with excitement, purpose, and deep respect for OCVTS’s accomplishments serving students, families, and the county for nearly 60 years,” Maschi said. He received his undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology from State University of New York - New Paltz, and continued his graduate studies at State University of New York - New Paltz and Albany. He has a master’s in social work and sociology, and a doctorate in educational leadership from the University of New England. “As you get to know me you will know that I am committed to maintaining and creating world-class career and technical education programs for students so that they can continue to benefit from all the community has to offer. I am passionate about issues that impact traditional and non-traditional students in the 21st Century and their educational experiences beyond the classroom. I intend to work closely with all stakeholders to advocate and create meaningful partnerships for all vocational students,” Maschi said. Maschi replaces Nancy Weber-Loeffert, who recently retired.

Ocean County Green Party member Jessica Clayton of Brick was the primary organizer of the event and she said she invited political officials and candidates from both parties to attend the day’s rally. “I got a couple outright ‘No, we cannot attends,’ but most of them just ignored me. I really wanted (Democratic Congressional candidate) Andy Kim to come but he declined.” Kim is running against Republican 3rd congressional district incumbent Thomas McArthur who has an office based in the township municipal building. McArthur did not attend the rally either. “I hope it is not because they didn’t believe in peace,” Clayton said. She added the thrust of the afternoon’s rally was that it was time to take a stand against war which she said proved a catalyst to many of the country’s domestic problems including its immigration policy. Clayton previously attended a township rally that denounced the president’s policy to separate immigrants who were found to have entered the country illegally, from their children. This inspired her to hold this rally. “We are protesting war because it impacts our foreign policy and it later becomes a domestic issue. Healthcare is one of the things it has impacted,” Clayton said adding that funding that could be used to fund health care was instead being used for military purposes. She said she is

She criticized former presidential contender Hillary Clinton who will be attending a fundraiser in support of Menendez in north Jersey next month that has attendees paying between $5,400 and $250 a plate. “We have a two party system that is dedicated to war,” Carol Gay of the Industrial Union County and Universal Health Care Coalition said. Geoff Ginter of Real Progressive said, “you have to get loud and in their face. We are our own worst enemy but we are the solution. Don’t look to our elected officials to do this. They won’t.” Junior Romero, a member of Food & Water Watch, said that war causes environmental issues. “War causes large use of oil and gas which produce methane gas which is something that affects climate change.” Brian Powers of NJ Revolution Radio joined members of his family to provide some music early in the event. He was also the first speaker of the day. “I was a Democrat, too, but I got better. We have to call out the liberals and conservatives. They are the establishment. Refuse to let the establishment be louder than us.”

Tech Roundup: Ways To Maximize Your Hearing
If you’re just beginning your better-hearing journey — or if it’s time to upgrade — you might be surprised at how sophisticated hearing devices have become. They’re basically tiny computers, with just as many high-tech features. Digital Reigns Almost all hearing technology on the market is now digital. Standard features include channels that can be programmed for your individual hearing loss and lifestyle, directional microphones to enhance speech in noisy backgrounds, noise reduction, feedback control, and the ability to wirelessly connect to FM and PA systems. But that’s just the beginning: Read on for some advanced options. Data Capturing Today’s tech can store information about your listening environments and preferences, so your hearing care provider can access that data at follow-up appointments to further customize your settings. Binaural Processing This means both devices communicate with each other. The devices can work in tandem, more closely mimic how we naturally take in data from both ears simultaneously, and stream sound signals from one device to another — which means you can choose to hear the person on the phone in both ears at once! Connectivity Advanced hearing technology can communicate wirelessly with devices such as TVs and tablets. Currently there are no truly wireless hearing aids — a hearing
aid battery simply can’t generate enough power to comply with wireless standards — but devices called streamers can translate the signal into something hearing aids can use. A streamer placed in your living room, for example, streams and sends the sound from your wireless-enabled TV directly into your hearing aids, so loved ones watching with you can choose a volume comfortable for them, while you control the volume for your hearing aids. Made for Smartphones Whether directly (Apple) or via a clip-on streamer (Android), today’s smartphones can stream sound to your hearing aids. Call a loved one, listen to your favorite music, or binge that popular new show without worrying about whether you have headphones or earbuds handy. Plus, with the smartphone app, you can save your hearing aid settings at your favorite spots, and the app will switch to those settings automatically each time you’re there. Interested in the latest in hearing tech? Contact us today to schedule a complimentary technology demonstration! Call 732-818-3610. Do I Need an Upgrade? It’s a tricky issue, but here are some signs: • Your devices need repairs regularly • Replacement parts are expensive or scarce • Your hearing has changed • Your lifestyle has changed • Technology has improved
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!

6 Ways To Protect Your Eyesight
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I look around at this beautiful Earth and the people I love and I think, I never want to lose this gift! Eyesight is such a precious thing and most people take it for granted because you’ve never known otherwise. But it’s common to lose vision as you age. It’s not just an inevitable consequence though. You might be able to slow it down by considering a few factors, dietary changes and vitamins or minerals. Today I’ll help you learn what might support your health if you have age related macular degeneration (AMD), dry eye syndrome or cataracts. As soon as you notice changes in your eyesight, see an ophthalmologist. I recommend you share eyesight changes with your doctor so they can see if you have diabetes or other disorders. Vision-protecting foods To protect eyesight, make sure that your diet contains plenty of eye-loving foods. These include citrus foods, nuts, hemp seeds, walnuts, almonds, cashews, salads, sweet potatoes, pumpkin seeds, and seafood. Water is also important. Dehydration will make your vision blurry. Lutein and zeaxanthin Lutein and zeaxanthin are very special carotenoids that protect your retina. They filter out high-energy wavelengths of light and act as antioxidants. You don’t make your own lutein and zeaxanthin, eat right and/or supplement. The best sources of lutein and zeaxanthin are leafy greens, squash, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, carrots and egg yolks. Vitamins C and E These two powerful antioxidants protect the tiny cells of your eye from oxidative damage.
Both of these vitamins help you maintain healthy blood vessels. You see, blood vessels improve blood flow to your eye and this is imperative to good vision. Good food sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits, bell peppers and salads. Vitamin E can be obtained from sunflower seeds, and walnuts. Zinc Zinc is highly concentrated in your retina and especially in the macula, where it helps to make a pigment called melanin that absorbs harmful light. Melanin is a pigment that is made in your body by melanocytes. It’s in your skin too, it protects against UV radiation. The more melanin you have, the more brown your eyes are. Zinc supports melanin production in the body. EPA and DHA Fish Oils These offset some of the medication-induced vision damage that occurs from taking statins, NSAIDS, steroids and seizure medicine. Fish oils also suppress the inflammatory mediators such as thromboxanes, prostaglandins and leukotrienes. DHA accounts for more than one-third of the fatty acids in your retina. Inflammation in your body doesn’t passively go away. We’ve recently learned there are three compounds that force it calm down. These good guys are called the resolvins, protectins, and maresins and essential fatty acids help you make more of the good guys. Wear sunglasses Ultraviolet light can hurt your eyes so squinting isn’t good. Wearing sunglasses when you’re outside exposed to bright sunlight reduces the amount of UV light that your eyes are exposed to. FYI, our devices emit short-wavelength blue light which might have negative changes in our eyesight.

–Photos by Judy Smestad-Nunn Children watch as f ire spreads through a mock room in a trailer. The 51 Brick Police Youth Camp students learned how sprinkler systems help.
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - The fire started in a trashcan, and within a matter of seconds it spread to nearby curtains and to the ceiling. The room would have been completely engulfed in flames if not for the sprinkler system, which extinguished the fire immediately. Luckily, the room wasn’t in a home but rather in a burn trailer demonstration held at the Laurelton Firehouse and hosted by The New Jersey Fire Sprinkler Advisory Board (NJFSB), who come to Brick every year and teach the children who attend Brick Police Youth Camp about fire safety. The campers watched through a large picture window at the mock room furnished with a filled trash can and curtains. They saw how quickly the fire spread and the overall effectiveness of fire sprinklers. “The sprinkler system doesn’t always fully extinguish the fire, but it saves lives because the system contains the fire and buys time for the occupants to safely exit or escape the structure,” said NJFSB state coordinator Frank Ellis, who divided the 51 campers into groups of four for the demonstration and fire safety talk. “A smoke alarm alone does not provide enough protection in the event of a fire,” he added. According to the National Fire Protection Association, in 2016 (the most recent year available) there were 1,342,000 fires reported in the country which resulted in 3,390 deaths. Ellis said the NJFSB would like to see sprinkler systems installed in all homes, but in New Jersey it is only required in commercial structures. “Right now, Maryland and California are
the only states that require sprinkler systems are installed in new construction,” he said. “We’re trying to get that changed in New Jersey.” The cost is about the same as a new granite countertop - about $2 per square foot in New Jersey, with a national average of $1.37 a square foot - or about $5,000, Ellis said. Brick Fire Bureau Marshall and volunteer firefighter at the Laurelton Fire Company Dave Bahrenburg said very few homes in the township have sprinkler systems. “We love it when [NJFSBB] come here because it’s great for the public to understand how sprinklers can help with fire safety,” he said. “It would be nice to have them in every home.” Ellis conducts the burn house demonstration about 60 times a year, and has come to various fire stations in Brick and to National Night Out in Windward Beach Park. Nitalia Booker, 13, attends the Police Camp and was in the first group to see the burn trailer demonstration. “It was cool. I didn’t know that different sprinklers have different colors and that means they go off at different heats,” she said. She also learned that sprinklers are heat not smoke - activated, and they create steam after the water hits the fire. The mission of the NJFSAB is to save lives and protect property by educating the public about fire safety, demonstrating the benefits and effectiveness of fire sprinklers, and supporting fire-safe building codes and legislation.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Motorized Wheelchair Lemon Law.Who Knew There Was Such A Thing?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates I can’t say that New Jersey does a lot of things right, but I have to admit that our consumer protection laws are some of the best in the country. When dealing with motorized wheelchairs a “consumer” is defined as the purchaser of the motorized wheelchair, if the motorized wheelchair was purchased from a motorized wheelchair dealer or manufacturer for purposes other than resale. A “consumer” is also a person to whom the motorized wheelchair is transferred for purposes other than resale, if the transfer occurs before the expiration of an express warranty applicable to the motorized wheelchair. A manufacturer who sells a motorized wheelchair to a “consumer”, either directly or through a motorized wheelchair dealer, shall furnish the consumer with an express (written) warranty for the motorized wheelchair. The duration of the express warranty shall be at least one year. In the event the consumer does not receive the express warranty then the manufacturer shall be deemed to have expressly warranted to the consumer that, for a period of one year from the date of the first delivery to the consumer, the motorized wheelchair will be free from any condition or defect which substantially impairs the value of the wheelchair to the consumer. If the wheelchair has what is called a “Nonconformity” this means that a condition or defect substantially impairs the use, value or safety of the motorized wheelchair, and that is covered by an express warranty. A “Nonconformity” does not include a condition or defect that is the result of abuse, neglect or unauthorized modification or alteration of the motorized wheelchair by the consumer. If a new motorized wheelchair does not conform to an applicable express warranty and the consumer reports the nonconformity to the manufacturer, the wheelchair lessor or any of the manufacturer’s authorized dealers and makes the wheelchair available for repair before one year after first delivery of the wheelchair to a consumer then the nonconformity shall be repaired at no charge to the consumer by the manufacturer. However, the consumer must provide the manufacturer a reasonable attempt to repair the wheelchair. “Reasonable attempt to repair” means, within the term of an express warranty applicable, or within one year after first delivery of the wheelchair to the consumer, whichever is sooner, that: (1) the wheelchair has been in for repair three or more times and the nonconformity continues, or (2) the motorized wheelchair is out of service for an aggregate of at least 20 days due to a nonconformity after having been returned to the manufacturer, wheelchair lessor, or any of the manufacturer’s authorized dealers for repair.
If, after a reasonable Michael J. Deem attempt to repair, the nonconformity is not repaired then the manufacturer shall, at the direction of a consumer (other than a consumer who leases a motorized wheelchair from a motorized wheelchair dealer), either (1) accept return of the wheelchair and replace the wheelchair with a comparable new one and refund any collateral costs; or (2) accept return of the wheelchair and refund to the consumer and to any holder of a Note on the wheelchair the full purchase price plus any finance charge amount paid by the consumer at the point of sale and collateral costs, less a reasonable allowance for use. In order to receive a comparable new motorized wheelchair or a refund a consumer shall offer to transfer possession of the defective wheelchair to the manufacturer. No later than 30 days after that offer, the manufacturer shall provide the consumer with the comparable new motorized wheelchair or a refund. When the manufacturer provides the new motorized wheelchair or refund, the consumer shall return the defective wheelchair to the manufacturer, along with any endorsements necessary to transfer legal possession to the manufacturer. In order to receive a refund a consumer shall: (a) offer to return the defective wheelchair to its manufacturer. No later than 30 days after that offer, the manufacturer shall provide the refund to the consumer. When the manufacturer provides the refund, the consumer shall return to the wheelchair; and (b) offer to transfer possession of the wheelchair to its manufacturer. No later than 30 days after that offer, the manufacturer shall provide the refund to the motorized wheelchair lessor. When the manufacturer provides the refund, the motorized wheelchair lessor shall provide to the manufacturer any endorsements necessary to transfer legal possession to the manufacturer. Also, keep in mind that any lease of a motorized wheelchair shall not be enforceable after the consumer receives a refund for the leased motorized wheelchair. No motorized wheelchair returned by a consumer or motorized wheelchair lessor in this State or by a consumer or motorized wheelchair lessor in another state shall be sold or leased again in this New Jersey unless full disclosure of the reasons for return is made to any prospective buyer or lessee. The consumer litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates are available for a free consultation (732-5051212) to discuss your rights.

THE FIRST PROSTHETIC IRIS
“Aniridia,” a genetic disorder that affects one in 50,000-100,000 people in the United States, involves a partially or completely absent iris, the colored circle surrounding the pupil that changes to allow different amounts of light to enter the eye. To address this problem, as well as other traumatic conditions that result in damage to the iris, researchers have developed the first prosthetic iris. Individually sized and colored for each patient, this thin and foldable construction of medical-grade silicone is surgically implanted in the eye and held in place by sutures and anatomical structures of the eye. FDA-approved as the first stand-alone prosthetic iris, the device is sure to help those who suffer functional and aesthetic complications from a missing iris. In clinical trials, 94 percent of patients reported satisfaction with the appearance of the artificial iris, and 70 percent of patients reported a significant decrease in light sensitivity and glare. At our office you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622.

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Horses in both Ocean County and Burlington County have reportedly contracted West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis, both serious mosquito-borne illnesses. In Burlington County, one 10-year old mare is the fi rst reported case of West Nile Virus (WNV) this year. In Ocean County, we’re seeing the fourth reported case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) in New Jersey for 2018. The mare is now undergoing treatment. The Ocean County horse was euthanized on September 4; the previous three EEE horses, from Monmouth and Camden counties, were also euthanized. None of these affected horses were vaccinated against either disease in 2018. The NJ Department of Agriculture reported that “EEE causes inflammation of the brain tissue and has a significantly higher risk of death in horses than West Nile Virus infection. West Nile Virus is a viral disease that affects a horse’s neurological system.” The disease, transmitted via mosquito bite, typically moves between birds and mosquitos. Humans and horses become in-

cidental but “dead-end” hosts for the virus. “We continue to encourage horse owners be vigilant in vaccinating their animals against these diseases spread by mosquitoes,” New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher said. “Vaccinated animals are much less likely to contract deadly diseases such as EEE and West Nile Virus.” The NJ Department of Agriculture urges livestock owners to vaccinate against WNV and EEE, especially as mosquito numbers are higher than average this year, they stated. For more information about EEE in horses, visit the New Jersey Department of Agriculture web site at nj.gov/agriculture/ divisions/ah/diseases/diseaseworksheets. html. EEE and West Nile virus, like other viral diseases affecting a horse’s neurological system, must be reported to the state veterinarian at 609-671-6400 within 48 hours of diagnosis. The New Jersey Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory is available to assist with EEE and WNV testing and can be reached at 609-4066999 or jerseyvetlab@ag.nj.gov.

Bob Evans Sausage Products Recalled For Contamination
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) recently announced a recall on Bob Evans Farms, Inc. pork sausage link products. These products, produced on August 1, 2018, might have been contaminated with pieces of hard, clear plastic according to the FSIS. Consumer complaints made to the company spurred the discovery of the plastic and the subsequent recall. The following products are being recalled: 12-oz overwrap trays labeled “BOB EVANS MAPLE PORK SAUSAGE LINKS.” These products contain a Use by date of Oct. 16, 2018 or Oct. 19, 2018, and Lot Code of 8213. 12-oz overwrap trays labeled “BOB EVANS BROWN SUGAR & HONEY.” These products contain a Use by date of Oct. 16, 2018, and Lot Code of 8213. 12-oz overwrap trays labeled “FRESH FROM MEIJER MAPLE FLAVORED SAUSAGE LINKS.” These products contain a Use by date of Sept. 06, 2018, and Lot Code of 8213 12-oz overwrap trays labeled “GIANT
Toms River Fire Bureau: Change Batteries In Smoke Detectors TOMS R I V ER – The Toms R iver Bureau of Fire Prevention reminds residents to change the batteries in your smoke alar ms and carbon monoxide detectors. “Replacing the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms when you adjust your clocks twice a year is an easy way to ensure that your family is protected,” said Bob Yaiser, Public Education Officer for the Bureau of Fire Prevention. According to the National Fire Protection Agency, three out of every five home fire deaths result from fires in homes with no smoke alarms. “Every year in New Jersey there are fire fatalities in homes that did not have smoke alarms or where the alarms did not function because of dead batteries,” Yaiser said. “If you do not have a smoke alar m or carbon monoxide detector, you need to get one. Test your smoke alarms every month and replace the battery at least once a year. If the alarm makes a ‘chirping’ sound, replace it immediately.” Smoke alarms should be in every bedroom and common area on each f loor of a home and mounted at least 10 feet from the stove and less than 12 inches from the ceiling and away from doors, windows, and ducts. For more information about fire safety, contact the Toms River Bureau of Fire Prevention at 732-240-5153 or online at trfireprevention.com.
EAGLE MAPLE PORK BREAKFAST SAUSAGE LINKS CARAMEL COLOR ADDED.” These products contain a Use by date of Sept. 10, 2018, and Lot Code of 8213. 12-oz overwrap trays labeled “SCHNUCKS MAPLE RECIPE BREAKFAST SAUSAGE.” These products contain a Lot Code of 8213.
All of these recalled items should have the establishment number EST 6785 labeled on the packaging. The products were shipped to locations in Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. No injuries or illnesses from these prod-
ucts have since been reported. FSIS urges consumers who have already purchased the recalled products to throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. You can contact Bob Evans Farms, Inc. at 1-800-939-2338 for any questions related to the products.

Toms River Veteran Receives Newly Renovated Home
I&G FARMS Farm Grown Produce in Jackson for Over 40 Years!
JERSEY CORN & TOMATOES
ALL CORN IS LOCALLY GROWN & FRESH FROM OUR FARM!
Fresh From Our Farm To Your Table END OF SUMMER SALE! –Photo courtesy Toms River Township TOMS RIVER – On a rainy Tuesday afternoon, Councilwoman Maria Maruca and Councilman Mo Hill and hundreds of friends, family and neighbors welcomed Sgt. George “Tyler” McGibbon to his newly renovated home in Toms River. McGibbon graduated from Toms River High School East in 2013. During his senior year, he participated in the U.S. Army Future Soldier Program. Upon graduation, McGibbon attended cavalry school in Fort Benning, Georgia. Tyler was stationed in Fort Riley, Kansas, with the First Infantry Division, 2nd Battalion, 34th Armor Regiment as a cavalry scout. Part of his job was flying Raven B system, a small unmanned aircraft system that aided in the reconnaissance. In 2014, Sgt. McGibbon was involved in a Humvee rollover accident in Kuwait that resulted in a severe traumatic brain injury.
He underwent multiple surgeries and was airlifted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and then to McGuire VA Medical Center, where he remained in a coma for three months. In 2015, Sgt. McGibbon was transferred again to Walter Reed to continue with his recovery. On May 24, 2017, after 2,482 therapy appointments and multiple surgeries, he was medically retired, 100 percent disabled. Sgt. McGibbon returned home to Toms River where he continues therapy with his service dog Trooper. The home was renovated for Tyler as part of the “George to the Rescue” show with the Gary Sinise Foundation. Host George Oliphant and his team of contractors and designers rescue the homes of deserving people. The show will air on October 27 on NBC. Welcome to your “new” home Sgt. McGibbon and thank you for your service!

NJ Receives 146 Applications For Medical Marijuana Dispensaries By Jennifer Peacock TRENTON – The New Jersey Department of Health has received 146 applications from 106 organizations to set up medical marijuana dispensaries throughout the state, the governor’s office announced. Fifty applicants applied to operate dispensaries in North Jersey, 45 in Central Jersey, and 45 in South Jersey. The Department on Health on July 16 requested applications for up to six new medical marijuana dispensaries. There are currently six dispensaries operating in the state in Egg Harbor Township, Montclair, Woodbridge, Cranbury, Secaucus, and Bellmawr. “By expanding Alternative Treatment Center locations in New Jersey, we are putting patients fi rst and ensuring more convenient access to medical marijuana,” Governor Phil Murphy said. “This is another step forward in removing barriers put in place by the previous administra-
tion and creating a more consumer-friendly program.” Approved applicants will be notified once the review is complete. Those applications won’t be made public until the awards have been announced. “Program participation has surpassed 30,000 individuals as a result of reforms already made, and we expect that number to keep growing,” New Jersey Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal said. “We need more Alternative Treatment Centers to keep pace with the demand for a therapy that has been unjustly restricted for so long.” The state will open up additional opportunities to apply to build cultivating, manufacturing, and dispensing sites in the future.

Garden State Parkway Removing Exact Change Toll Lanes By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – The Garden State Parkway is getting rid of exact change lanes beginning September 24, announced the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. Exact change lanes will be removed from all parkway toll plazas, excluding tolls on entrance and exit ramps. Officials said they will be converting these lanes into full service or EZPass Only lanes. The coin machines in the exact change lanes are nearing the end of their life expectancy and becoming exceedingly difficult and expensive to maintain or fix, according to NJTPA. NJTPA explained that most drivers, almost 83 percent going through the toll plazas, utilize EZPass anyway. Coin lanes see only
about 5 percent of drivers. Motorists should expect a minimal impact on traffic due to the change. “If you want to continue using exact change, you simply will be handing it to a toll collector instead of dropping it into a coin basket. Just make sure you select a full service lane rather than an E-ZPass Only lane,” stated NJTPA. The work will begin on September 24. The tolls will be worked on two per week, one north and one south: • Week 1: Pascack Valley and Cape May • Week 2: Bergen and Great Egg • Week 3: Essex and New Gretna • Week 4: Union and Barnegat • Week 5: Toms River and Raritan • Week 6: Asbury Park

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 22 - sept 28 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Keep your promises and people will respect your integrity in the week ahead. The dragon guarding the cave has gone on vacation so set your sights on achieving a worthy goal. Money may arrive unexpectedly. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Home might be where the heart is, but you might shine brightest in the outer world this week. Expect to receive enthusiastic cooperation from your peers or co-workers when engaged on an important job or project. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): This could be a perfect week to examine your fundamental wants and needs. Learn to be more spontaneous as you interact within a group although you may need to be the soul of discretion when handling secrets. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the week to come you may make career choices that depend upon having a sterling reputation. You may be called upon to go the extra mile for a friend. Concentrate on making extra money to obtain your fantasy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The difference between fact and fantasy might cause a feud in the upcoming week. You may even imagine that what you have in your bank account is adequate to fulfill your dreams. Avoid minor disputes with loved ones. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): All that glitters might not be gold but could be worth a second look. You will need to be in the right place at the right time to profit and reap the benefits of your inspiring ideas. Take notes in the week ahead.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is no business like show business. Show what you’ve got. You may be called upon to demonstrate your working ability in the week ahead or to produce hard facts and figures rather than mere wishes and dreams. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your judgment is a bit better than usual as this week unfolds, especially with matters to do with home and family. You may receive kudos for a job well done or for your brilliant ideas at the work place. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Concentrate on finding common ground with others in the week ahead, so that you can share in beneficial trends. Draw others into your inner circle and freely share your joys, hobbies, and inspiring thoughts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your naked ambition may be obvious this week. Nevertheless, you will be willing to play fair and share your good fortune. This is a time when following rules can lead to positive changes and decisions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the week ahead, you might push too hard to get your own way. Gauge carefully the potential reaction from others before making impetuous changes and proposals. Friends may provide good advice. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your business and negotiation skills will be in fine fettle as this week unfolds. But there may be more important subjects for you to consider as you contemplate better and improved conditions. Focus on the future.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Add A Popular Retro Touch To Brunch, Lunch, Or Cocktails With A Devilishly Good Egg Recipe By Wolfgang Puck DEVILED EGGS Makes 24 halves 12 large eggs 1/4 cup (60 mL) good-quality mayonnaise, plus extra as needed 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon brine from bottled dill pickles 1 teaspoon honey 1 teaspoon minced dill pickle 1 teaspoon minced yellow onion Sea salt Freshly ground black pepper 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives or Italian parsley Paprika (optional) First, hard-boil the eggs: Put the eggs in a saucepan or pot large enough to hold them in a single layer and add enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch (2.5 cm). Put the pan, uncovered, over medium-high heat, and bring the water to a boil; cover the pan, remove it from the heat and set a timer for 9 minutes. Meanwhile, fill a mixing bowl with ice cubes and water. When the timer goes off after 9 minutes, drain the eggs and immediately transfer them to the ice
water to cool for about 5 minutes. To peel each egg, gently but firmly tap its shell underwater against the side of the bowl to crack it all over; then, with your fingertips, gradually peel off the shell underwater. Transfer the peeled eggs to a double layer of paper towels to drain, removing any last shell bits. With a sharp knife, carefully cut each egg in lengthwise in half. With your fingertips, gently pop the yolk from each half into a fine-meshed metal strainer set on top of a mixing bowl, placing the whites cut sides up on a large plate or platter. With the back of a large, sturdy metal or wooden spoon, press the yolks through the strainer into the bowl, scraping off any yolks adhering to the underside of the strainer. Add to the yolks the mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, honey, pickle and onion. Stir until thoroughly blended, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag fitted with the star tip. Close the bag and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Cover the egg white halves with plastic wrap and refrigerate as well. Before serving, remove the egg whites from the refrigerator and uncover them. Remove the piping bag, and pipe the yolk mixture decoratively into each egg white half. Garnish with chives or parsley and paprika (if using), and serve immediately.
