Gedrich filed the suit because of an article written about her: “Job Given To Mayor Ducey’s New Democratic Party Underboss.” The Sept. 29 article was written about a Facebook post in which she announced her appointment as vice chair of the town’s Democrats. The article is written to imply she was given a patronage job at the town, which she was not.

Gedrich is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as legal fees. She is being represented by Gregory Cannon, an attorney in Englewood Cliffs.

By Pat Miller TOMS RIVER - If Toms River resident Robert Affa wants to take his kids skateboarding, he can’t do it in Toms River.

Instead, the 41–year–old native usually travels 31 long miles to Long Branch and 31 miles back.

Affa was one of two residents who spoke at the Oct. 10 Toms River Council meeting to ask again that township officials consider putting in a skate park in Toms River, which is the county seat.

“We skate four to five times a week on a slow week,” he said, pointing (Skate - See Page 4)

Councilman Center Of Defamation Case

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A Toms River Councilman was served a defamation lawsuit during a council meeting, but he says that he is the one who is being dragged through the mud.

Robyn Gedrich, the municipal vice chair of the Brick Democrats, filed the suit recently against Councilman Daniel Rodrick.

The lawsuit alleges that Rodrick owns “fake news” websites Ocean County Chronicle, Brick Beacon, and Toms River Weekly, and Facebook pages Jackson Watch, Brick Watch, Toms River Watch, and Toms River Taxpayers. It also alleges that he operates the group Citizens For Transparent Government, which paid Facebook to direct viewers to his sites. This spending, allegedly, violates campaign finance laws.

to his son Luca and Luca’s friend. Both boys toted skateboards up to the public microphone.

And Long Branch, not Toms River, gets the benefit of the money Affa and others spend to use the Long Branch skatepark.

It’s money that could be spent in Toms River if there was a skatepark, he said.

“We eat in other towns, we shop in other towns,” he said. “The need is there. They don’t have a place to legally play this sport. People that play this sport need a place to go.”

Affa also noted that Brick, Berkeley, Jackson township and Point Pleasant already have skateparks.

He was not the only person at the meeting who spoke of the need for a Toms River

Councilman: Continued From Page 1 in July, he announced that he was switching to the Republican party, and that he had been a registered Republican in the past.

He argued that this was a “hit job” orchestrated by ranking members of the Democrats.

He was served the suit during a Township Council meeting, and a video of it was online a few hours later with the tagline “Councilman

skatepark.

Anthony Devecka, who spoke at the Sept. 27 council meeting, brought a petition to the Oct. 10 meeting with 34 pages of signatures from people who want a facility built.

“I think that shows quite a bit of demand for it,” he said.

Even the fact that people are forbidden from using public areas to for skateboards shows there’s a need for it, he said.

“People here have been waiting for it,” Devecka said to applause.

Councilman George Wittmann, Jr. said at the Sept. 27 meeting that Devecka was the fi rst person to ask for the facility. Wittmann said building a skatepark comes down to a question of need.

Wittman had also said that a skatepark should be located in an area where children don’t have to be driven.

Rodrick You’ve Been Served!” This, he said, shows that his political enemies constructed the lawsuit to get a lot of mileage out of it.

“People are tired of the dirty smear tactics of the Democrats, which is why they’ve already suffered the defection of two councilmen here in Ocean County,” he said, referencing himself and Brick Councilman Jim Fozman.

“They’ve opened a pandora’s box and they’ll have some sleepless nights once the facts are out.”

National Dental Hygiene Month

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – October is National Dental Hygiene Month. County officials are stressing the importance of good dental hygiene for overall good health.

“Everyone enjoys seeing smiling faces but there is some work involved and proper dental hygiene is a key,” Freeholder Director and Board of Health Liaison Gerry P. Little said. He acknowledged that dental care for adults is crucial for overall good health. “As such, in just the fi rst nine months of 2018, the Ocean County Health Department has provided 133 dental education presentations to 3,373 residents of Ocean County and continues to offer presentations from early school age children to senior citizens.”

“In 2018, the awareness month is focusing on four routines that can help people maintain healthy smiles: brush, f loss, rinse and chew,” Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator, said. “The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth twice a day, for two minutes, with a soft-bristled brush. The size and shape of the brush should fit the mouth allowing you to reach all areas easily.”

A toothbrush should be held at a 45-degree angle to the gums. The brush should be moved gently back and forth in short strokes; br ush outer surfaces, inner surfaces and the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Then tilt the brush vertically and make up-and-down strokes to clean the inside teeth surfaces. Finally, brush the tongue to remove bacteria and keep breath fresh.

Regular visits to the dentist coupled with proper brushing and flossing can prevent or catch early gum disease and broken dental fi llings. A dentist will also check for oral cancer, which claims more than 7,000 lives—mostly men—each year.

“Any community group or organization may contact the Ocean County Health Department to schedule a presentation or may visit the Ocean County Health Department’s website at ochd.org or check out our new website at phu2.org, to access and learn more about our Public Health is You Too! campaign to help equip you to take simple steps to improve your health and obtaining important resources for dental services,” Brian E. Rumpf, Director of Administration and Program Development, said.

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.

Do you have something you want everyone know? Is there an issue that needs to be addressed? Write a letter to The Toms River Times and make yourself heard.

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.

James M. Spickard Little Egg Harbor

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

Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHINGTON, D.C. - Two of Congressman Tom MacArthur’s top priorities since his first day in office were signed into law by the president.

These provisions protect and support victims of natural disasters like Superstorm Sandy, fix FEMA’s recoupment process, and allow natural disaster victims to have more access to aid that help families and small businesses rebuild.

The very first bill Congressman MacArthur (R-3rd)

introduced as a Member of Congress was the Disaster Assistance Fairness and Accountability Act of 2015.

The bill protects disaster victims from recoupments by the Federal Emergency Management Agency if disaster aid was awarded based on an accurately completed application, even if FEMA later questions the basis of the grant. After fighting to get this protection for Sandy victims for more than three years, MacArthur was able to

Two New Laws Will Help Disaster Victims Get Aid

get his provision attached to an unrelated law (the Sports Medicine Licensure Clarity Act). The measure will apply to any disaster declared by the president on or after January 1, 2012, which includes Sandy victims.

“Superstorm Sandy devastated South Jersey lives, homes, and businesses. Today, many are still dealing with the aftermath and impact of ineffective and unfair federal government policies. Since day one in Congress, it has been my goal to make FEMA more accountable and work better for South Jersey residents. The federal government has made it difficult for

some in our community to recover from Sandy because of the actions of a few bad actors,” said Congressman MacArthur.

“Without this change in the law, FEMA could continue to change their mind on grants and make disaster victims pay back previously awarded disaster assistance, sometimes years after the award. This happened to many of my constituents after Sandy and I’m grateful that I’m in the position to stop it once and for all. I worked in the insurance industry for 30 years and in the private sector, insurers can’t just take their money back from families. The

federal government should be held to this standard, too.

This protection bars FEMA from recouping funds except in cases of fraud or abuse. It rights a wrong that has been in place for far too long.”

A second policy championed by MacArthur will change current law that prohibits Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loan recipients from being eligible for FEMA disaster assistance grants. This allows the president to waive the duplication of benefits during a federally declared disaster, allowing disaster victims to have access to both loans and

other forms of federal aid.

Now, South Jersey residents will have greater access to federal aid for years to come.

“The federal government should make it easier, not harder for those who have just gone through a natural disaster. When homes and businesses are destroyed, the last thing families should have to worry about is whether taking an SBA loan will disqualify them for FEMA grants that become available later on. We must ensure that Americans have access to federal assistance during times of disaster,” added Congressman MacArthur.

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 it s “a rbit r a r y ” pla n to i m p o s e n e w t a x r u le s 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 Ser vice (IRS) Com m issioner Cha rles P. Rettig, Attorney Gener al G rewal subm it ted comments opposing the pla n ned new t a x r u les 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

Mu r phy r e s p o nd e d by signing 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 annou nced its intent to change its longstanding policy of t reating such charitable contributions as deductible. Instead, the agency plans to require taxpayers to subtract the value of any tax credits they receive from their char itable cont r ibution deductions. The new requ i re me nt is u npre ce dented i n t he 101-yea r 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 I R S’s new r u le s h a r m t he m a ny i nd iv id u a l s , ch a r it ie s , a nd gove r nments 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 f r om n at u r a l r e s ou r c e

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 cont r ibutions made pu rsua nt t o t he se prog r a m s 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 princi-

ple 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 g ove r n m e n t s . I n d e e d , while a taxpayer would be required to subtract the value of SALT credits f r o m a c h a r it a ble d e duction, the receipt of a foreign tax benefit would leave the same charitable deduction unchanged.”

A nd f i nally, the I RS proposal - together with a “clarification” the IRS issued for business taxpayers on September 5 would favor corporations ove r p e o pl e “ b e c a u s e cor porations could still deduct charitable contributions that trigger SALT credits while individuals could not.”

For all of these reasons, the letter criticizes the

proposed I R S r u les a s “an exercise in law-making rather than statutory interpretation.”

The letter also argues t hat t he proposed new rules are troubling as a matter of policy as well.

Because prog rams like Ne w Je r s e y’s “d o n o t 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 gover n ments of the revenue necessary to su st ai n v it al publ ic services.”

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

drained recently to prepare for the restoration work which will last several weeks, according to Mastrokalos. SUEZ’s contractor US Tank Painting, Inc. will be on site during the work week, 7 a.m.-5 p.m.

“The quality of the water provided to customers during this project will not be affected and will continue to meet or exceed all federal and state water quality

regulations,” said Mastrokalos.

Customers located near the tank site, near the intersection of Hooper Avenue and Indian Hill Road, should not notice major changes in water service during the restoration work. There will however be minor water pressure deviations due to the out-of-service tank during the project.

US Tank Painting, Inc. will provide

full containment during exterior paint removal, surface preparation and painting to keep any materials from traveling into neighboring properties.

Work on this project should be complete in early 2019.

Artwork By Lizz Winona On Display At Toms River Library

TOMS RIVER – The Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Library is hosting “SOON”, a month-long exhibit by artist Lizz Winona. The collection is displayed in the McConnell Gallery of the Toms River Branch throughout October.

“SOON” consists of photographic artwork.

Lizz Winona started as a self-taught artist. She studied at Peters Valley School of Craft where her work is now part of the permanent collection.

“I use photography as a way to explore the world around me. Not only can photography

capture what is there, but also what is not. The “SOON” series began several years ago as a way to explore fear in myself and in others. If a scene elicits fear, I often confront that feeling and, wondering why it’s there, use a series of figures to embody that which cannot always be put into words,” said Winona.

The branch is located at 101 Washington Street.

“SOON” is free and open to the public. For more information, call 732-349-6200, ext. 5100, or visit theoceancountylibrary.org.

TRENTON – The caller ID shows an unfamiliar number with your same local exchange, attached to a name that 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 that scammers have found ways to circumvent FCC-imposed rules created just last year to block these illegal robocalls.

New Jersey residents submitted more than 134,000 complaints to the Federal Trade Commission in the last 12 months, according to Grewal’s office. The FTC received 4.5 million complaints in 2017 from 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 Attorney 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 “spoofing,” 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 enforcement with just a computer, inexpensive software and an internet connection,” Grewal and the other Attorneys General wrote in the formal comments letter filed Oct. 10.

“Neighbor spoofing” 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 multi-state comments letter by the Attorneys General of Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, 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 Office of Consumer Protection.

Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

How To Increase The Longevity Of Your Hearing Aid Statistically, hearing-impaired patients replace their hearing aids about every four years. Additionally, during that four-year period, your hearing aid may have to go back to the manufacturer for repair at least three to five times ... Why? The most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is wax build up in the receiver port. Those metal picks that your dispenser provides you with (for cleaning purposes) are problematic. In my opinion, you should clean your hearing aid with a soft toothbrush while holding the receiver port of your hearing aid down towards the floor (so the wax will not fall back into your hearing aid).

The second most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is moisture build up, which can cause your hearing aid to work intermittently. In this case, a dry aid kit is very useful in removing moisture from your hearing instrument (particularly during the more humid summer months).

A third reason for hearing aid malfunction is that most patients do not receive

routine follow-up services. In my own practice, patients return to the office at either three-month or six-month intervals for cleaning and adjustment of their instruments. Just like your car needs an oil change every 3,000 miles, your hearing aid needs to be checked at least twice a year by your hearing health-care professional.

In summary, if you follow these steps, you will increase the life of your hearing aid: 1. Clean your hearing aid every day with a soft toothbrush.

2. Open the battery door at night to prolong the life of your battery.

3. Ask your hearing health-care professional for a dry aid kit to alleviate moisture build up in your hearing aid.

4. Schedule routine follow-up visits with your hearing health-care professional at least two or three times per year.

5. Routinely have your ears cleaned or checked by either your family physician or ear, nose and throat doctor.

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!

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.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Title Insurance: Why Every Purchaser Needs It

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Dina M. Vicari, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates 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 automo- Dina M. Vicari Esq. bile insurance where 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.

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.

WHAT IS AN EYE STROKE?

“Eye strokes” (“retinal infarctions”) are usually caused by a blood clot that blocks a blood vessel that provides oxygen and nutrients to the optic nerve. Symptoms include sudden, painless vision loss in one eye, the severity of which depends on the extent and location of the occlusion(s) and loss of blood flow. An eye stroke may cause blurry vision or loss of peripheral vision, and/or may cast a gray hue over the entire field of vision. Just as strokes occur in other parts of the body and cause damage and cell death, eye strokes may lead to damage of the retina, optic nerve, and other eye structures due to blood deprivation. Symptoms of an eye stroke warrant emergency room attention.

Anyone can have an eye stroke, but certain factors make it more likely. For example, you’re more likely to have an eye stroke as you get older, and it’s also more common among men than women. 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.

BARNEGAT (609) 698-2020

P.S. Research suggests that approximately two-thirds of eye-stroke patients have underlying hypertension, and one-fourth of patients have significant carotid artery disease (plaque with narrowing of the artery lining), cardiac valvular disease, or diabetes.

The app will advise if there are changes in collection due to holidays or weather.

Users can also set up recycling reminders and improve their recycling rates through a “What Goes Where?” search tool.

“I’m very pleased to offer this interactive program at no cost to the residents of Toms River. I believe that it will improve our recycling efforts and the flow of information concerning recycling and other department services to those residents that download the app,” said Lou Amoruso, director of Public Works.

Residents Urged To Report Insurance Fraud

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 SHAKSHOUKA 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.
