Heart Walk Hits Home For Howell Teen

By Jennifer Peacock ASBURY PARK - A Howell teen walked in this year’s American Heart Association Shoreline Heart Walk, which took place Oct. 13 at Bradley Park at the Asbury Park boardwalk.

Meadow Gogliormella, 13, was walking as a survivor of her heart defect.

She was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a congenital heart defect that leaves the left side of the heart severely underdeveloped.

She has undergone three multistage intervention procedures, one open chest and two open heart surgeries.

The walk raises funds and awareness for heart

conditions. Besides the walk, activities at the event included free health screenings, celebration of members of the commu n it y who have made healthy lifestyle changes, a kid’s zone, CPR demonstrations, and music and entertainment.

“Heart Walks are the signature community event for the American Heart Association’s Healthy for Good movement which encourages Americans to lead healthier lives by delivering science-based recommendations, tools, tips and motivation to build healthier behaviors. The walk also raises funds to support the fight against

Meadow Gogliormella heart disease and stroke – our nation’s No. 1 and No. 5 leading causes of death,” Erin Boyle, the American Heart Association’s Communications Director, said.

The walks are held in more than 305 communities throughout the country.

Goodbye Sears: Company Filing For Bankruptcy

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – With the recent closure of Sears locations, such as the one in the Ocean County Mall, it may not come as a surprise that Sears corporation is reportedly preparing to file for bankruptcy.

According to a CNBC report, the 125-year old company is $134 million in debt and has approached several banks to file for bankruptcy. The report stated that Sears has not turned a profit in nearly 8 years, struggling with plummeting shares, decreasing business, and losing in the race against e-commerce.

Sears has been surviving in recent years due to funds provided to the company by ESL Investments, a hedge fund owned

by Sears’ CEO Eddie Lampert.

CNBC reported that ESL made an offer to purchase Sears’ home improvement business and Ken-

more brand, which could keep the company afloat for a little longer.

Sears has already closed more than 100 store locations over the past year and has plans to close down another 46 in the coming months.

Jersey Shore Online reported when Sears announced the closure of the Hooper Avenue location back in January.

This location, part of the Ocean County Mall, will be demolished and replaced with a parking lot, five storefronts facing out from the mall, and a new entrance to the mall. One side of the parking lot will also house six new storefronts separate from the main mall building and a stand-alone BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse.

Representatives from the Freehold Raceway Mall, another local Sears location, did not respond to inquiries regarding the fate of the location.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Who Really Benefits From Increase In Minimum Wage?

Just read another politician, the Gover nor and Craig McLoughlin thinks it is great to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. They want to give everyone a livable wage. However, they are not saying that when wages go up, so do prices. This raise in salaries is almost 100 percent. That fast food h a mbu rge r you wa nt may now cost you seven or eight dollars plus a drink and fries. Have you seen this cost of living increase in your social security, pension checks or veterans’ benefits?

The second part of this is, what kind of raise that must be given to workers who make $20 an hour after years of service to balance this $15 governmental raise?

Are we now going to pay them $38 dollars an hour for the same work? Realistic businesses will always pass the cost on to the consumer with smaller size or lower grade products.

We have some people in entry level positions that have very few skills and no intention on improving themselves. Entry level means entering the work force for the first time and you need to improve your skills in order to get a higher wage. Entry level positions were for students to put a few dollars in their pockets while in school. Not to support yourself in life So, if this comes to

p a s s , you r e c e ive a raise, prices go up dramatically and you are in the same boat as you were before. But wait there is a bright side to this! The incomes tax goes up. Let’s say the tax is 25 percent on a dolla r. So, you are taxed 25 cents on every dollar you earn.

Now at two dollars you are taxed 50 cents on your hourly wage. For example, if you ear n $315 a week after taxes you take home approximately $236.25.

The government gets $78.75. Now, at $15 an hour for the same 35 - h o u r wo r k we e k you ea r n $525 af t e r taxes you take home is $393.75. The gover n ment s sha re now is $131.25. WOW the government has almost doubled thei r (you r) money. More money for their family members, political donors who they employ and their pet projects.

Entry level is entry level, not career sust ai n i ng. T hat comes with the development of skills and education.

Businesses will pay the price to lure better employees. Please don’t be fooled by the bleeding hearts saving they are going to get you more money. They are not; they are look ing for votes and are going to get themselves more money.

Letters To The Editor Trump’s Behavior Will Live In Infamy President Trump is to be given credit for a number of international, national and economic achievements. It appears that strong leadership is valued and perhaps more capable of progress than those who take a more timid approach. Hopefully, none of these accomplishments will unravel as time passes, as feared by many analysts. For now, however, there is reason to be pleased, by most if not all people. However, in addition to administrative ability there must also be respect, civility and dignity. America has weathered many wars, economic declines, international strife as well as internal disharmony but through it all those who served as presidents, regardless of political party, met the challenges with conduct that inspired rather degraded and we came through them stronger and prouder.

Sadly, when history is written, President Trump will be remembered more for his conduct than achievements.

At a time when bigotry is rampant, crimes in many cities are on the rise and bullying has become a crisis, our president has emboldened those who represent the worst in conduct, hate and cruelty.

Perhaps the president recognized that more Americans than we would like to believe are not the kind, folksy people often depicted in the media or who we thought were

our lovely, decent neighbors.

Letters To The Editorvote for Bob Hugin to unseat Trump Inspires If Trump can energize people to almost riotous laughter and applause when he degrades women, immigrants (forgetting we are all descendants of immigrants), the handicapped, a captured war hero, those who disagree with him or fail to compliment him and cannot even bring himself to denounce white supremacists in order to maintain and grow his political base, those who are decent Americans are in big trouble. Dictators who brought war, death and destruction to millions also rallied crowds by similar inflammatory rhetoric and conduct. What hope can we have for our children and grandchildren who repeatedly witness the president of the United States and American citizens, not illegals who fled persecution and hunger, behave in this despicable and frightening manner?

As we sing “God Bless America” hopefully we will once again become the decent and inspirational America we once were. Those who recognize the dangers c-15onfronting us must work to halt our rapid decline into hate and indignity mindful of the great film, “It’s A Wonderful Life” where a decent man who lost hope was able to see what life would be like when people like him would be replaced by those similar to those we see and hear at Trump’s political rallies.

Economic Growth After the end of the Great Recession of 2008, President Obama led us through the worst recovery period in modern American economic history. Leading with disastrous policy such as his signature failure, the Affordable Care Act, the economy never had a chance. Even though the Federal Reserve jumped in and saved his bacon by propping up the economy with endless quantitative easing measures, and unheard of zero percent interest rates throughout his two terms, we were stuck in a quagmire of what I call the era of resignation toward lackluster growth.

With the election of President Trump, things changed overnight. Something no one seems to want to talk about suddenly came on the scene.

It’s called consumer confidence, and it travels through the country across all political spectrums. Obamanites want to take credit for laying the groundwork for this success but the fact is the confidence wasn’t there then and it won’t be there should we return to more failed democratic policy that can no longer be propped up. Despite what anyone may think of the president personally, it is plain to see that his initiative has inspired economic growth.

Anti-Trumpers would snuff out this economic growth just to be rid of their hated foe.

America cannot continue its leadership role for western civilization unless we remain economically on top.

Right now Trump is staring down China in a trade war where the victor will reign supreme. This November’s midterm elections represent a referendum on the Trump agenda, and an opportunity to show the world Americans are serious about that role.

This November 6, in the 3rd district, vote for Tom MacArthur. Even more importantly, in the 2nd district, vote for an ardent Trump supporter, the liberty-loving Seth Grossman. Statewide,

the corrupt Robert Menendez. Lastly vote no on the bond issue as it contains a clause that could raise your property tax bill.

Every vote counts, the choice is ours: continue the consumer era of the present administration or return to the lackluster days of the resignation era. Your economic viability may come down to your individual vote.

Smith’s Healthcare Voting Record Risks Lives Healthcare is important to my family. Last year my brother received treatment through the Affordable Care Act that saved his life. Congressman Chris Smith voted against the ACA when it passed in 2010. Over the next 6 years, he voted multiple times to restrict or repeal many of the provisions, but the legislation failed. If Smith had been successful, my brother’s story might be very different.

In July 2017, when the ACA was in danger of being repealed, Smith repeatedly refused to hold an open meeting to hear our concerns. We resorted to letters, phone calls, and rallies outside his office. Only after this outpouring from voters did Smith agree to vote against the repeal. How will he vote the next time? I don’t know.

How will he vote on proposed changes to Medicare and Social Security? I don’t know.

Smith’s track record does not inspire me with confidence.

I want someone I can trust to represent my family. I want Josh Welle. Over the last few months he has held multiple open town hall meetings.

He has listened to voters on many issues. He understands the importance of healthcare.

On November 6, I am voting to protect my family. I am voting for Josh Welle.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials From The Desk Of The

Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone I hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather which, at times, has felt like an extended summer season! In fact, I joined my fellow Freeholders on a warm, summer-like day recently while hosting the County’s End of Season tourism press conference in Avon-by-the-Sea. As liaison to the County’s Department of Public Information and Tourism, I host this event in a different shore town at the conclusion of every summer season to discuss how our businesses and municipalities fared through the busiest time of year. This year’s

press conference included guest speakersAvon-by-the-Sea Mayor John Magrini, Avon-by-the-Sea business owner Kara Wirin, who co-owns Bungalow Road, and Aaron Levine, President of the Long Branch Chamber of Commerce.

Despite inaccurate weather forecasts projected days before the weekends arrived and rain during 11 of the 16 summer weekends, this year’s tourism season was still a success. On days when the weather did not cooperate, we saw an influx of visitors supporting downtown businesses

From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. - The 2.8 percent Social Security Costof-Living Adjustment (COLA) increase for seniors is better than last year, but still not reflective of the real cost-of-living increases seniors face, said Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th), who is pushing for legislation to establish a more accurate cost-of-living ad-

justment mechanism for seniors.

“While a 2.8 percent increase is an improvement upon the previous benefits, the reality is that it still does not meet the needs of today’s seniors,” Smith said. “We must ensure that the benefits they earned are an up-to-date reflection of their daily needs, and this

End of Season tourism press conference

and restaurants. On sunny beach days, local towns reported that their beach attendance was higher than normal.

In total, our local towns reported combined beach badge sales of more than $19 million dollars.

It is numbers like these that contribute to the success of the tourism season every year. As I’ve noted before, tourism in Monmouth County is a $2.5 billion dollar industry, with more than 6 million visitors each year. However, it is important to note Monmouth County is a four-season destination.

There are plenty of activities to do during the fall, winter and springtime, which are listed on the County’s tourism website,

tourism.visitmonmouth.com.

Another event I co-hosted last week was a bipartisan panel led by Senate President Stephen Sweeney, Senator Declan O’Scanlon and Senator Vin Gopal. My fellow Freeholders Gerry Scharfenberger and Patrick Impreveduto, as well as Sheriff Shaun Golden, Clerk Christine Hanlon and many mayors and municipal representatives came together to discuss concerns with the state pertaining to Monmouth County. It’s great to be able to work together to make Monmouth County even better than it already is for our residents and visitors.

On another note, I would like to personally thank everyone

who came out and supported a great cause over the weekend at the fifth annual Pound the Pavement for Purple 5k and 2-mile walk in Neptune and Neptune City. While checks are still coming in, we anticipate this may be our biggest year yet!

Proceeds from the race will once again support the Lustgarten Foundation, which is dedicated to advancing research related to the diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of pancreatic cancer, as well as providing information to patients and their caregivers.

I’m proud to serve as a co-founder of this race with Assemblyman Eric Houghtaling and would like to thank all

committee members for their great work throughout the year and on the day of the race! In just a few months we will begin preparing for next year’s event so stay tuned!

I also would like to thank the Monmouth County Fire Marshal’s Office for hosting their annual Fallen Firefighters Memorial Services and Medal Awards Day. This beautiful tribute is held to honor those who lost their lives while serving their communities and to recognize the risks our firefighters take in order to protect our residents.

As always, it’s a pleasure to serve as your Freeholder Director.

Social Security Increase Welcome, But Not Enough will require a new and more accurate measurement of their cost-of-living.

“Social Security is a sacred trust, and we must honor this trust by strengthening this program to ensure that the benefits meet the needs of those who rely on them for their livelihood,” Smith said.

Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA) are currently tied to the Consumer Price Index. Smith has supported the creation of new measurements

to more accurately reflect the costs of goods and services that today’s seniors face, such as healthcare spending.

Smith has cosponsored the CPI for Seniors Act (HR 2016), a bipartisan bill requiring the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to develop and publish a new monthly index, the Consumer Price Index for Seniors, that measures changes in consumer spending more typical for Americans age 62 and older.

“We need to base future

Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA) on items that seniors spend their money on, such as medical procedures, medication, and Medicare premiums.

These are the cost-of-living expenses that most strongly influence a senior’s household budget,” Smith said. “I will continue fight for a revised COLA formula that gives more accurate weight to the types of expenses seniors endure - so that the annual COLA keeps pace with expenses more typi-

cal of seniors’ cost-of-living.”

More than 67 million Americans will see the 2.8 percent benefit increase for Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, the Social Security Administration announced, and the increased payments will take place beginning Dec. 31, 2018.

The adjustment was due to an increase in the Consumer Price Index from the third quarter of 2017 through the third quarter of 2018.

State Opposes IRS Rules About Tax Credits For Charitable Giving

TRENTON - Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal led a coalition of Attorneys General calling on the Trump Administration to rescind its “arbitrary” plan to impose new tax rules that undermine efforts by states like New Jersey to promote charitable giving and provide relief to their local taxpayers.

In a letter sent to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Charles P. Rettig, Attorney General Grewal submitted comments opposing the planned new tax rules as “contrary to law” and “misguided as a matter of policy.”

The Trump Administration enacted a tax overhaul in December 2017 that placed, for the first time, a $10,000 cap on the federal deduction for state and local taxes (SALT). On May 4, Governor Phil Murphy responded by sign-

ing S1893/A3499 into law. The new law allows state residents to make charitable contributions to their local governments and to receive partial tax credits of up to 90 percent when they do so.

The IRS has now announced its intent to change its longstanding policy of treating such charitable contributions as deductible. Instead, the agency plans to require taxpayers to subtract the value of any tax credits they receive from their charitable contribution deductions. The new requirement is unprecedented in the 101year history of the charitable deduction.

“The IRS’s about-face represents bad law and bad public policy,” said Attorney General Grewal.

“The IRS should have stood by its longstanding view that tax credit

programs like New Jersey’s are lawful. Instead, the IRS’s new rules harm the many individuals, charities, and governments that have come to depend on existing state charitable programs.

I’m proud to lead a coalition of Attorneys General opposing the proposed rules as dangerous and illegal, and I promise to challenge the IRS in court if it goes through with its plans.”

Attorney General Grewal’s letter notes that the majority of states have programs that offer tax credits to individuals who make charitable contributions to qualifying institutions. More than 100 programs exist in 33 states, the letter explains, which incentivize individuals to donate to causes ranging from natural resource preservation and domestic

violence shelters to financial aid for higher education. The IRS’s plan would undermine all these programs.

The letter explains that the proposed rules would be unlawful in multiple ways.

For one, the IRS has previously treated contributions made pursuant to these programs as deductible under the Internal Revenue Code. “Had Congress wished to revise the Code so as to reverse this long-standing precedent,” Attorney General Grewal’s letter explains, “it would have done so in clear terms. It has not done so, including in the most recent federal tax overhaul.… It is not within the IRS’s rulemaking power to usurp Congressional authority and overrule a tax law principle that has been unquestioned for

more than 100 years.”

Further, the letter adds, “the IRS’s proposal would prejudice states and localities relative to foreign governments. Indeed, while a taxpayer would be required to subtract the value of SALT credits from a charitable deduction, the receipt of a foreign tax benefit would leave the same charitable deduction unchanged.”

And finally, the IRS proposal - together with a “clarification” the IRS issued for business taxpayers on September 5 - would favor corporations over people “because corporations could still deduct charitable contributions that trigger SALT credits while individuals could not.”

For all of these reasons, the letter criticizes the proposed IRS rules

as “an exercise in law-making rather than statutory interpretation.”

The letter also argues that the proposed new rules are troubling as a matter of policy as well. Because programs like New Jersey’s “do not provide dollar-for-dollar tax credits and therefore yield a net increase in state and local revenues,” the IRS’s efforts to undermine these programs end up “depriving state and local governments of the revenue necessary to sustain vital public services.”

“The IRS should abandon its proposed rules,” Attorney General Grewal argues in the letter, “and restore its previous practice of allowing full deductions for charitable contributions that trigger SALT credits.”

MONMOUTH COUNTY – On the exact 100th anniversary of the Armistice of World War I, Monmouth Civic Chorus will pay tribute to our nation’s veterans with an emotional and stirring presentation of wartime-inspired music.

Artistic Director Dr. Ryan James Brandau will lead the award-winning Chorus in Dona Nobis Pacem: A Salute to Veterans on Sunday, November 11, 2018 at 4 p.m. The concert kicks off the Chorus’ milestone 70th anniversary season. To thank the community for 70 years of support and to honor our vets, this will be a free performance for the public.

Ralph Vaughan Williams’ moving Dona Nobis Pacem will anchor the concert. Written in 1936, as the world was slowly awakening to the possibility of a second world conflict, Vaughan Williams selected three poems by Walt Whitman, texts from the Latin Mass, quotes from the bible, and a political speech

by British Parliamentarian John Bright for use in this impassioned plea for peace.

Also being sung during the concert, will be Paul Moravec’s lush and profound Songs of Love and War, which features settings of texts from the Civil War, World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War. Rounding out the program will be a performance by orchestra of Barber’s hauntingly beautiful and evocative Adagio for Strings. The Chorus will be joined by soprano and baritone soloists and orchestra.

Fittingly, the concert will take place on the Fort Monmouth property at Triumphant Life Church, 500 Malterer Avenue, Oceanport, NJ. As a special tribute to all of our nation’s veterans and to honor the entire community which has supported the Chorus for the past 70 years, tickets to the concert will be free. Because tickets are expected to go quickly, reservations are required. To order your free tickets, visit monmouthcivicchours.org or call 732-9339333.

Three DIY Essential Oils To Help You Relax And Sleep

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

One of the most powerful attributes of essential oils is that they contain powerful compounds with constituents in them that promote relaxation. It’s fun to experiment with oils because they work! Doctors from around the world have used oils to relax patients prior to surgery, ease depression and anxiety, and impact GABA receptors, which calm us down. Fragrances instead of pills, it’s a novel idea, right?!

In one fascinating study, researchers learned that sniffing Jasmine essential oil may be as effective as commonly prescribed barbiturates or benzodiazepines when it comes to inducing calm and sleepiness.

Essential oils do not pose serious adverse health risks or side effects such as daytime drowsiness, morning hangovers or tolerance withdrawal. Also, unlike OTC sleep aids, they don’t induce anticholinergic side effects such as constipation, blurry vision and dry mouth.

The easiest way to get essential oils into your blood stream within seconds is to inhale them. Pour a few drops onto the palms of your hands, rub together and inhale deeply. Do this 3 to 5 times then rub your palms onto your neck, or the bottoms of your feet.

My favorite way to use essential oils at night is in a diffuser. You can add a few different oils to the diffuser and enjoy better sleep. Here are a few ideas to get you started: 1. Lavender Dreams - If there’s one, num-

ber one proven oil to relax the body and mind, ease melancholy, and enhance sleep, it’s lavender. Combine lavender essential oils with any number of other oils for great sleep. For example, you could mix it with vetiver, frankincense or calendula. My favorite is 3 drops lavender combined with 3 drops sandalwood (equal mix) plus 1 drop of bergamot, all in my little diffuser by the bed. I nicknamed it lavender dreams, lol.

2. Sleep Like a Baby Blend - Another blend for enhanced sleep and relaxation is below. Depending on the size of your diffuser, you may want to use fewer drops, but either way, keep the ratio the same: • 4 drops clary sage essential oil • 4 drops ylang-ylang essential oil • 4 drops of Roman chamomile • 2 drops wild orange (or bergamot) Clary sage, ylang-ylang, and Roman chamomile are wonder ingredients for promoting relaxation, curbing anxiety, and clary sage is especially effective for helping women balance hormones, including fat-storing cortisol, which leads to belly fat.

3. The Knock Out Blend - For when sleep seems the farthest thing from your mind, and you’ve been in front of that computer all day, with all that circadian-disrupting blue light pouring into your eyeballs, this is the blend I really recommend. Combine 3 drops each of frankincense, bergamot, and sandalwood essential oils.

Instead of filling your home with synthetic perfumes that have hundreds of strange artificial chemicals, try natural essential oils.

Many people ask their attorneys, “what is a title search and why do I need title insurance?” Next to having the appropriate funding to purchase your new home, ensuring that the home you intend to purchase has clean or clear title is essential. All mortgage companies require clear title. It is important to ensure that you have title insurance in the event a title issue arises after you have purchased the home.

Title searchers review old deeds, mortgages and wills at the County Clerk’s office to trace the ownership history of the property. They look for any current or past mortgages, liens or judgments on the property that have not been discharged as well as whether there are any tax liens or unpaid municipal utility bills. The title searchers will also examine the chain of title to confirm that the seller’s ownership rights have not been affected and that the sellers are, in fact, selling you a home without any adverse possessory or equitable interests such as pending litigation or easements. These examples are endless, but the title company performing the search has the expertise to find all relevant concerns prior to the purchase.

Once the title company completes its search it will issue an insurance policy after closing which will insure you and your lender should anyone at any time in the future come knocking on your door claiming an ownership or possessory interest in your property. Should this occur, the title company will step- in and provide you with a legal defense and assume the costs of any litigation. This coverage is similar to automobile insurance after you have become involved in an automobile collision. After an automobile collision, your automobile insurer will provide you with legal assistance and take corrective measures in the event

you are sued. Fortunately, unlike automobile insurance where Dina M. Vicari Esq. you pay your premium annually, monthly or quarterly, your title insurance premium is paid only once at the time of closing and this one time premium will provide insurance coverage for as long as you own the home.

It is also important to note that if you have a mortgage you need to obtain both a Lender’s and Owner’s policy. The Lender’s policy covers the mount of the mortgage that is due at the time any claim is made. An Owner’s policy covers your ownership interest, which is a relatively inexpensive addition to the policy premium. In New Jersey, title insurance is usually paid by the buyer. After closing the buyer’s attorney may need to perform additional legal tasks to complete the conditions of the title policy such as filing additional deeds and discharge of mortgages. The purchaser will receive the final title policy in the mail approximately 6-8 weeks after closing.

While all of this may be overwhelming, we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Wills and Trusts, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate, Medicaid, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning, Powers of Attorney and much more.

Monmouth Medical Center Memorializes Leadership Legacy Of Long-time Benefactor LONG BRANCH – Monmouth Medical Center (MMC), an RWJBarnabas Health facility, recently held a dedication ceremony to honor and memorialize the leadership legacy of long-time benefactor, the late Judith W. Dawkins. The dedication of The Judith W. Dawkins Executive Board Room commemorates her legacy as a tireless advocate and leader in promoting and advancing women’s health services.

“Judi spent over two decades, and countless hours – many of which took place in that board room – making decisions that helped lead the path to success for Monmouth Medical Center,” said her husband Pete Dawkins. “It’s only fitting, therefore, that the Executive Board Room should bear her name. Our hope is that Judi’s spirit of advocacy and leadership will live on. And that it will continue to inspire others to share that vision, and make decisions which truly help those in our communities.”

The new Executive Board Room will feature a striking portrait of Judi, a memorial plaque that celebrates her service, and increased seating.

“Judi always wanted to make sure that everyone could have a seat at the table,” added Pete. “She encouraged a spirit where ideas were openly exchanged so that the needs of the community would be met in the best way possible.”

Doing everything possible to make sure the community’s health care needs were being met, and advancing women’s health care services overall, were the primary focus of Judi’s more than 20 years of service at MMC. To ensure that this focus would live on, the Dawkins Family generously made a $4 million transformational leadership gift to support its Women’s Services program. In honor of Judi, MMC named the program The Judith W. Dawkins Women’s Health Program.

Services offered through this Women’s Health Program include: primary care and health maintenance for women, obstetrics, breast health, cancer prevention, autoimmune disease care, nutrition and sports medicine, gynecology, cardiovascular health, mental health, radiology, as

well as assembling leading researchers, educators and clinicians.

“Through the Dawkins Family’s generous donation, we are able to honor Judi’s vision and legacy in the best possible way by being able to grow our women’s health services and further our commitment to women and the community,” said Bill Arnold, President and CEO of Monmouth Medical Center.

“Judi Dawkins was passionate about helping others and addressing all of the unique challenges commonly faced by women, ”said Barry H. Ostrowsky, President and Chief Executive Officer of RWJBarnabas Health. “I had the great pleasure of getting to know Judi through her tireless work on the Board, where she helped make decisions that have led to success for the Women’s Health Program at Monmouth Medical Center and I am honored to be here today to commemorate her legacy.”

The Women’s Health Program in Judi’s name will expand the current array of highly specialized services, providing comprehensive community-based services to women at any age.

“By building on the shared insights and synergies of MMC’s medical staff and administration”, Pete said, “the program will look to continually expand the frontier of women’s care.”

Judi had a lasting influence on MMC during her 20+ years of service as a trustee, board chair, nominating chair and leader. Her legacy at MMC extends to almost every area of the institution. Especially noteworthy was her time as chair of the MMC Foundation’s board from 2000 to 2003, where she helped launch the “Redefi ning Health Care Capital Campaign.”

The campaign included oversight of $15 million in upgrades for the Leon Hess Cancer Center and the expansion of the Jacqueline M. Wilentz Comprehensive Breast Center.

“This gift celebrates Judi’s quest to empower women to lead stronger, healthier lives,” said Pete. “I can’t think of a more fitting way to honor my wonderful wife, and her incredible legacy of leadership and helping others.”

Monmouth County Sheriff ’s Office Goes Pink For Breast Cancer Awareness

–Photo courtesy MCSONJ MONMOUTH COUNTY – Monmouth County: In addition to fighting crime, the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office is also supporting the fight against breast cancer by going pink the entire month of October.

The newest image to the agency this year is the Breast Cancer Awareness flag, which is flying high at the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office in Freehold to symbolize hope in the ongoing battle against this disease.

“It’s vital that we show our support to such a serious illness and continue to bring awareness to this important cause,” said Sheriff Shaun Golden. “Many people are either indirectly or directly affected by this devastating disease and we are dedicated to reinforce the message of supporting the fight against breast cancer.”

In addition to the flag, the agency’s police cruisers are marked in pink and sporting pink magnetic ribbons throughout October.

support and even the K-9s have pink collars to spread awareness.

Many law enforcement agencies across the state acknowledge the cause in their own way to show support, since breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women. Statistics show one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and there are more than 3.3 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

“However we choose to acknowledge Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it’s important for law enforcement to stand behind this effort for all the courageous people who are battling the disease, have lost their lives or lost loved ones,” said Sheriff Golden. “Public safety is more than making arrests, it’s also helping to arrest illnesses such as breast cancer that takes a toll on individuals with the disease and their families.”

Attorney General Wants New Rules To Block Scam Robocalls

By Jennifer Peacock TRENTON – The caller ID shows an unfamiliar number with your same local excha nge, at t a ched to a na me t hat sounds too generic to be a real person.

Chances are it’s not a long-lost friend or even a wrong number, but a robocall.

It’s something Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal, along with 34 other state attorneys general, wants the Federal Communications Commission to crack down on.

He and those other AGs have sent formal comments to the FCC, saying t hat sca m mers have fou nd ways to circumvent FCC-imposed rules created just last year to block these illegal robocalls.

Ne w Je r s e y r e sid e nt s s u b m it t e d more than 134,000 complaints to the Federal Trade Commission in the last 12 mont h s , a c c ord i ng t o G r ewa l’s office. The FTC received 4.5 million complaints in 2017 f rom across the U.S., more than double the complaints lodged in 2014.

The FCC ruled that phone service providers can block certain illegal spoofed robocalls, but state AGs want added authority for providers to detect and block more illegal spoofed robocalls, including “neighbor spoofing.”

“These robocalls are not just disruptive and bothersome. They are used to deceive the elderly and other vulnerable populations, and to facilitate scams that can result in identify theft, credit card fraud and other crimes,” Grewal said. “As Attor ney General, I take seriously my responsibility to protect New Jersey residents from this kind of

unlawful activity. We need the FCC to heed our request and create new rules to let telephone service providers block more types of illegal robocalls.”

Scammers disguise their identities through “spoof ing,” which makes it difficult for law enforcement to act.

Consumers receive these calls whether they are on do-not-call lists or not.

“Virtually anyone can send millions of illegal robocalls and frustrate law en forcement w it h ju st a comput e r, inexpensive software and an internet con nect ion,” G rewal a nd t he ot her Attorneys General wrote in the formal comments letter filed Oct. 10.

“Neighbor spoof ing” disguises the origin of a phone number with the local area code and exchange of the person being called. That increases the chance of the consumer answering the call.

The Attorneys General want service providers to authenticate legitimate phone calls and identify spoof calls and block them. Providers will have that technology in place sometime in 2019.

Along with lead state Pennsylvania, Grewal was joined in the formal multistate com ments let ter by the At torneys General of Arizona, Arkansas, Con nect icut, Delawa re, Dist r ict of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mar yland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and the Hawaii Off ice of Consumer Protection.

By Jennifer Peacock TRENTON – It’s a crime that costs taxpayers billions of dollars annually. The government wants New Jerseyans to help put a stop to it.

Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal and the Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor (OIFP) Insurance Fraud Awareness have launched an advertising campaign urging residents to report insurance fraud.

That OIFP has a new web page that makes reporting fraud easier.

The announcement coincides with Insurance Fraud Awareness Month.

Billboards and busses showcase the campaign’s slogan: “Insurance Fraud. Report It. End It.” The three-month campaign will include spots on social networks, radio, television, and college and professional sporting events.

“Insurance fraud isn’t a victimless crime.

Honest taxpayers are paying the price through higher insurance premiums and increased costs for goods and services,” Grewal said. “Our ad campaign encourages New Jerseyans to fight back and warns insurance cheats of the consequences.”

There are about $80 billion fraudulent insurance claims filed annually in the United States, the Coalition Against Insurance

Fraud reports.

The fraud affects everyone, from the insurance companies to policyholders, consumers and businesses.

“To mark the start of Insurance Fraud Awareness month, we’re calling on the public to protect their own financial interests by reporting fraud, and we’re making it easier than ever for them to do it,” acting Insurance Fraud Prosecutor Tracy M. Thompson said. “We have also unveiled an updated and more user-friendly online reporting form on our webpage at NJInsuranceFraud.org. By simplifying the reporting process we hope to encourage more consumers to join our fight to end insurance fraud.”

Information on what is insurance fraud and how to spot it is provided on the website.

Identifying elder abuse committed against Medicaid recipients, or facilities receiving Medicaid funding, is also on the site.

Thompson will be giving interviews about the fraud issue throughout the month.

Anonymous tips about insurance cheating can be made to 877-55-FRAUD or njinsurancefraud.org.

Informants whose information leads to an arrest, prosecution and conviction for insurance fraud are permitted a reward under state regulations.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCT 20 - OCT 26

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): The good old days may not have been all that great. Touching base with a long-lost friend may soon remind you why you fell out of touch. The surest way to get others to pitch in is to be enthusiastic this week.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): A watched pot never boils. Be patient and find constructive ways to keep yourself occupied rather than feverishly awaiting important results. A family problem may consume more time than necessary this week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Leave well enough alone this week. It may be better to allow a situation to go unresolved rather than to force a poorly conceived solution. You may find that is easier to get cooperation later in the week.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Turn the other cheek. Don’t take a loved one’s bad mood personally as the root of their troubles likely has nothing to do with you. Matters of the heart may be stuck in neutral as this week unfolds.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make no assumptions. Unexpected events or someone changing their mind at the last second could throw your plans out of whack in the week ahead. Be sure to act like a professional when handling business matters.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t take anything for granted. Someone may not react to a situation as you expect so be sure to discuss your intentions before acting. Unnecessary suspicions may cause friction in the week ahead.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Take things seriously. Making light of a bad situation to ease tensions may rub certain people the wrong way, so proceed with caution. The coming week may provide fertile ground for finances.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t spread yourself too thin. Others may try to “guilt” you into taking on tasks that will make their lives easier but only bring you added headaches.

Keep your own bases covered ahead of all else.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Good ideas are worthless if they merely stay in your head. Even if nothing comes of it, keep a written log of your thoughts for future reference. This week you may get a chance to be the leader.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Clean up the clutter. Keeping something around “for old time’s sake” may simply be using up space that would be better occupied by something else.

Your judgment may be better later in the week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t overestimate your abilities. While you may think that you are being charming, someone else may find it annoying. Attempts to make a good impression may fail unless you are totally honest this week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): If it hasn’t worked for you in the past, stop doing it.

Making changes to your approach in the week ahead could make things easier for you in the long run. Have a little faith that things will work out for the best.

Shake Up Your Autumn Brunch

By Wolfgang Puck

Autumn is a perfect time to throw a brunch party. The turning leaves and cooling temperatures seem to encourage us to spend relaxed weekend mornings enjoying good food with family and friends.

When it comes to planning a brunch menu, however, the big challenge becomes deciding on your main dish. When you think about it, most home cooks have fewer recipes in their morning repertoire than they do for dinner parties. So let me offer something different for your next autumn brush: my easy version of shakshouka.

“What?” is probably your response. That’s not surprising, because most people in North America are less familiar with Middle Eastern, eastern Mediterranean and North African cuisines than they are with those of Europe or Asia.

But from Tunisia to Turkey, Morocco to Israel, you’ll find various versions of shakshouka, a dish that gets its name from an Arabic term for “mixture.” (And doesn’t that fun-to-say word itself sound like a mixture?) Described in the broadest terms, it consists of a medley of tomatoes, peppers, herbs and spices, cooked down to a thick, chunky sauce into which eggs are broken and then cooked - in the oven or covered on the stovetop - until the whites are fully set and the yolks are still slightly runny.

The eggs, of course, take on some of the flavors of the sauce, which itself provides a robust accompaniment to the featured protein.

Doesn’t that sound both fresh and flavorful while also being robust and warming? And, as you’ll see from the following recipe, which I prepared recently with my fellow chef and friend Marian Getz on the Home Shopping Network, the dish is surprisingly easy and quick to make. It takes no more than about 45 minutes from when you start cutting up the vegetables to the moment you serve it.

You can also easily introduce your own variations. Some cooks saute with the onions and peppers some crumbled spicy sausage.

The Moroccan lamb sausage called merguez is traditional, but you could easily substitute chorizo or another favorite.

If you’d like a spicier version, add some chopped fresh chile peppers along with the bell peppers, if you like; or season the sauce with other spices like ground coriander, cumin or cayenne. For a cool, creamy texture, dollops of plain yogurt may be added along with the eggs, or feta cheese can be crumbled over the entire dish. However you prepare it, oven-toasted pita bread makes a great accompaniment for sopping up the last traces of sauce.

Is your mouth watering as you read this?

Mine sure is! So, I hope you’ll try shakshouka for your next brunch. It’s guaranteed to hap-

pily mix up your morning menu.

SHAKSHOUK A WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND BELL PEPPERS Serves 6 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 medium-sized yellow onion, halved and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1 green bell pepper, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1 red bell pepper, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined, and cut crosswise into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 4 cups (1 L) cherry tomatoes, stemmed and cut into quarters 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) good-quality canned or bottled tomato-basil sauce Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 6 large eggs 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro or Italian parsley leaves In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer and flows freely when the pan is tilted. Carefully swirl the oil around the pan to coat the bottom. Add the garlic and onion; saute, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until they turn fragrant, about 1 minute..

Add the bell peppers; saute, stirring continuously, until they brighten in color slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes and the cherry tomatoes; saute until they begin to give up their juices, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Stir in the tomato sauce, season lightly to taste with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook until the mixture has formed a thick but still slightly fluid sauce, about 10 minutes.

Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, with a little more salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium With the back of a large serving spoon, spread the sauce evenly in the pan and then make 6 evenly spaced indentations in the sauce around the perimeter of the pan. One at a time, carefully break an egg into each indentation. Lightly sprinkle the eggs with a little salt and pepper.

Cover the pan and cook until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks are done to your liking, about 10 minutes for yolks that are still slightly runny.

Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley.

Present the dish in the pan on a heatproof trivet on the dining table, scooping portions of sauce and egg together onto individual serving plates.
