GOP Leader Guilty, Loses Local Power

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – After a local political leader was convicted of charges relating to tax evasion, he has been losing positions of power.

George Gilmore, 70, of Toms River, is the county chairman of the Republican party.

He was recently convicted of three charges related to tax evasion with his firm, Gilmore & Monahan. This firm does a lot of work for local municipalities. His attorney, Kevin Marino, has said that he is seeking to overturn the conviction. He did not return a request to comment for this story.

Can Gilmore Vote?

Gilmore had been serving as the chairman of the Board of Elections until his resignation effective April 23, according to county administrator Carl Block. He has also put in his paperwork to the state to retire effective May 1. This is the only regular county employment he has.

By statute, the Board of Elections is made up of two Republicans and two Democrats.

These positions are appointed by the governor and they expire every two years. Gilmore was last appointed by Chris Christie on May 26, 2016. He receives $22,500 a year for this job, as well as insurance benefits and a pension.

Another commissioner, Rabbi Yisroel Schenkolewski, was last appointed by Jon Corzine on May 20, 2009.

The other two commissioners, Matthew Sage and Wyatt Earp, were appointed by Gov. Phil Murphy and their positions expire in 2020 and 2021. Earp makes $37,750. Sage and Schenkolewski make $15,000. Sage is the only one who doesn’t get insurance.

When Murphy’s office was asked about the missing appointment paperwork regarding the Board of Elections, a spokesman replied “The Governor’s Office does not comment on appointments that have not yet been made.”

Schenkolewski’s re-appointment is pending, Block said. The request to re-appoint is (GOP - See Page 2)

GOP:

Continued From Page 1 making its way through state offices now.

Although Gilmore and Schenkolewski’s appointments appear to have been lapsed, Block said these were holdover appointments. These positions need to be filled, and in case of a delay in making an appointment, the current members hold onto their spots.

The county Republicans now must submit a new name to the state to appoint someone into that spot, Block explained.

According to New Jersey Statute 19:31-17, Gilmore, having been convicted of a crime, can not vote. Additionally, he might have been removed if he had not stepped down voluntarily. According to NJSA 19:6-4 Removal of members: “A judge of the Superior Court or the county board shall have power to dismiss any member of a district board from such board for an illegal act, or for any cause which shall be determined in a summary way by such judge or county board.”

Resigns From Political Action Committee Gilmore had been influential in the state as well through his work with the GOPAC political action committee.

According to its website, GOPAC is a political action committee organized in 1978 that raises funds for Republican campaigns and educates candidates on the best practices in winning an election.

“George Gilmore was a member of the GOPAC Board of Directors until April 2019 when he submitted his resignation,” replied Jessica Curtis, executive director of GOPAC.

“We appreciate his counsel and efforts to help advance our mission during his tenure.”

A 2014 article by NJ.com revealed thousands of dollars of donations going into GOPAC from contractors who in turn won millions of dollars in jobs from municipalities. It is illegal for a contractor to win a job from a candidate who they donated to, but there is no law against a contractor donating to a political action committee which then donates to a candidate. According to this article, Gilmore became the state chairman for GOPAC in 2010, the same year Chris Christie took office. Immediately, donations increased under his tenure, although Gilmore said in that article that donors have no say in where their donations go.

Losing Power Although the federal tax case might be over, the state seems to be stepping in.

“I can confirm that the Attorney General’s Office will be pursuing the forfeiture of all public positions held by Mr. Gilmore,” stated Sharon Lauchaire, the director of the office of communications for the New Jersey Attorney General’s office.

The state did not elaborate if this meant his public position such as the Election Board, where he stepped down, or if it means being the township attorney at many towns. For many of these towns, Gilmore rarely attends, but rather someone in his firm is at most meetings.

Gilmore’s law firm did work for a number of local governing bodies. Some of these were subpoenaed by investigators. In February of 2017, Micromedia Publications reached out to some of the local towns to find out if

they had been subpoenaed. Some responded, some did not.

Berkeley’s attorney, Lauren Staiger, who works for Gilmore and Monahan, said in January of 2017 that the town was served a subpoena seeking township records such as contracts and bills relating to the law firm, and their corresponding council resolutions and minutes of those meetings.

Bay Head had been subpoenaed. Eagleswood uses Gilmore and Monahan. However, they did not receive any subpoenas as of February of 2017. Jackson Township, Lacey Township, Plumsted Township all were subpoenaed.

Manchester Board of Education had used Thomas Monahan, the other half of the firm, but they reported that they were not subpoenaed. The boards of education for Bay Head, Point Pleasant, and Toms River all replied that they did not receive a subpoena.

Left Lobbying Firm Even before the trial, Gilmore parted ways amiably last year with lobbying firm 1868 Public Affairs.

According to managing partner Richard Ambrosino Jr., Gilmore’s split from the firm was made official in December of 2018, but he had not done any work for them for at least six months prior, Ambrosino said. His work dried out when the administration in the state switched from Republican Chris Christie to Democrat Phil Murphy.

Gilmore was an early supporter of Christie’s, and served on his transition team when the governor took office in 2010. Murphy assumed office in January of 2018.

Gilmore started with 1868 Public Affairs around 2010, Abrosino said. He resigned to

concentrate on his law firm, and 1868 asked for a letter of resignation in December to have it on record.

“It’s not something rare in this business,” he said of someone leaving after a politician is out of office, noting that partners in the firm have had personal relationships with Gilmore for 20 years.

The Charges Gilmore was found guilty of one charge of making false statements on a 2015 loan application submitted to Ocean First Bank, and two charges of failing to collect, account for, and pay over payroll taxes withheld from employees for two quarters in 2016.

A press release from the U.S. Attorney’s office detailed the charges. As a partner and shareholder at Gilmore & Monahan, he was in control of the law firm’s financials. For tax quarters ending March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the firm withheld tax payments from its employees’ checks, but Gilmore did not pay them in full to the IRS. Regarding the loan application, he applied for a Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA) to obtain refinancing of a mortgage loan for $1.5 million with a “cash out” provision that provided Gilmore would obtain cash from the loan on Nov. 21, 2014. On Jan. 22, 2015, he updated the application, failing to disclose outstanding 2013 tax liabilities and personal loans he got from other people.

He had received $572,000 from the cash out portion of the loan.

The jury was not able to reach a decision on the charge of tax evasion for years 2013, 2014, and 2015, the court spokesman said. He (GOP - See Page 5)

Crash:

Continued From Page 1 off on Nov. 1, 2018.

That was the day when a truck with an attached trailer plowed into the market. It all started when a 17-year-old driver was attempting to turn left onto West Commodore Boulevard but wound up driving into the path of a tractor trailer that was traveling south on Cedar Swamp Road through the intersection. It caused a three-car crash that injured four people and caused severe damage to the market.

The driver, a resident of Jackson, was issued a summons for careless driving and failure to yield the right of way according to police reports. The driver of the truck was injured. A 69-year-old store patron was also hospitalized following the incident.

Staff of the market also sustained injuries but the workers have healed and returned and the building that they worked in has been repaired to the relief of their many

The sentencing date will be July 23. The two counts of failing to collect, account for, and pay over payroll taxes each carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison, and a $250,000 fine, or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense.

George and Clara Glory, owners of the market, were inside the building when it all happened. “I don’t really remember, it was just that I knew there was a loud sound. It sounded like a small bomb,” Clara Glory told The Jackson Times on Nov. 5, 2018.

“You just heard crashing and the walls of the office were being pushed into us.”

The deli section of the market was destroyed in the crash. The repairs show no trace of the prior damage and George has said that the business is the same “but better now.”

“It is wonderful to be back. We reopened on March 2. There was no question that we’d reopen. My father started out with a chicken farm,” George Glory said on Good Friday as workers were busy assisting customers with their holiday orders.

He recalled the day of the accident while sitting in his office where the nearby deli case had been pushed through the wall.

“My wife and I were in here at the time. I had cracked ribs and my knee blew out. I

went over the case and saw that it was a real mess. One of my employees saw the truck as it crashed inside and jumped out of the way.

It was around 12:30 p.m. a busy time here.

“Thankfully we had no deaths but four people were hurt. I am amazed the driver survived but he came back here hours later after he went to the hospital,” George Glory said.

The market was founded during a time when chicken farms were prevalent around the township. The Glory’s Best Broilers were well known by Jackson residents.

When George’s father died in 1967, George and his brother Walter were still in college.

They took over the business in 1973 after they graduated.

Glory said that while his insurance covered most of the expenses the bills are still coming in. “Our employees and customers have given us a lot of support. People kept asking how long it would be until we came back, two weeks a month or what? We did alright.”

Glory’s Market was even open on Easter

Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for those who needed some last-minute holiday items or simply a gallon of milk.

Butcher Mark Motyka, Toms River, had worked for the market part-time for seven years before the accident. He said he was happy to be back and that the interruption of work was a bit of a mixed blessing.

“I had some money saved up so I lived off that and got to spend more time with my family. I’m retired but now I’m working here full time. I was not injured as I was outside of the blast zone. I always worked on Thanksgiving and Christmas as those are busy times in the meat department so I spent that time with my family instead.”

Motyka added that he was happy to see customers new and old return to the market.

He noted that a newly opened development in the township has provided new customers for Glory’s Market.

“More people are coming in and our regular customers…well they missed us,” Motyka said.

He had been accused of evading more than $1 million in taxes. Meanwhile, he had been spending a great deal on home remodeling and lavish decorations, reportedly such things as a mammoth tusk and a statue of George Washington.

F eatured L etter Honoring Parkinson’s Awareness Month It ’s e s t i m a t e d t h a t 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) each yea r a nd one m illion Americans are currently living with this neurodegenerative disease.

Commonly known for it s movement or mo tor-related symptoms, people with PD are often more impacted by non-motor sy mptom s like apathy, depression, sleep behavior disorders, loss of sense of smell and cognitive impairment.

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, and I, along with the Park inson’s Association, local suppor t g roups, and medical facilities, u rge ever yone i n t he state of New Jersey to join our community as we work together to promote awareness and help fund the f ight against Parkinson’s.

To get involved, individuals can donate to the Parkinson’s Foundation to support research and programs, participate in an event, or share their or others’ stories on social media. To get a list of activities in your area, go to Parkinson.org and click on “events.”

I, myself was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, nearly 5 years ago, and I’ve been working and researching the disease for just as long.

If you or someone you know is living with PD, you are not alone. Call our toll-free helpline, 1- 80 0 - 4PD -I N FO, or visit Parkinson.org. Together, we can make life better for people with Parkinson’s disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure.

Have Your Voice Heard On Howell Asphalt Plant The Howell Zoning Board has been considering a variance that would allow the construction of an asphalt manufacturing plant on Yellowbrook Road, by Cranberry Road in Howell.

The town council and mayor passed an ordinance in July of 2017 that prohibited asphalt manufacturing.

Some of the major issues, and presumably the reasons it is not allowed, include truck traffic on secondary roads, fire and health hazards, and noise. It has been proven in the months of testimony, for example, that major highway paving jobs occur at night, and there would be a large number of trucks going down nearby roads at night that would exceed the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Noise Control Regulations and cause sleep interruption at many homes.

The Zoning Board is allowing public input at its Monday, April 29 meeting, starting at 7:30 p.m. If you are concerned about the impact this will have on you and your neighborhood, this is your chance to be heard.

The meeting is at the Howell Township municipal building on Route 9.

Congressman Smith Votes Against Women On April 8, 2019 Congressman Chris Smith voted against reinstating the Violence Against Women Act. When the Asbury Park Press endorsed Congressman Chris Smith, last fall, the endorsement said “We have disagreed with Smith on some issues over the years, including his views on reproductive choice and gay marriage, but we have never questioned his motives or his integrity.”

Where is the integrity in

Letters To race The voting against the Violence relations Editor and the selling the media transmit biased Against Women’s Act? Where is the integrity in Smith’s comment “I do not construe homosexual rights to be the same as human rights” and then voting to discriminate against LGBTQ people and deny them benefits?

Smith has voted against equal pay for women, voted to outlaw birth control, voted to allow bosses to deny women birth control through insurance plans based on the religious ideology of the boss! Smith voted to allow bosses to terminate women for being unwed mothers. Smith leads the extreme and dangerous personhood movement which strips pregnant women of their human rights, giving the fetus full human rights. Personhood bans most forms of birth control, criminalizes abortion and in vitro fertilization.

Smith has written bills on rape that change the definition of rape to forcible rape making rape victims and incest victims have to prove rape by being beaten bloody or worse, based on Smith’s definition.

Where is the Integrity?

It’s time we stop making excuses for poor leadership and elect a congressman that cares about women.

Trump Haters Should Do Something More Constructive This letter was written in response to the letter “Why Do People Love Trump?” in a previous issue of this paper.

Mr. Molinari begins his anti-Trump tirade by admitting he has allowed his own health to suffer since President Donald Trump was elected. Fact aside that it’s going to be a very long almost six more years that he will be there, I suggest with all sincerity that he try what I did for eight horrific years of low employment, terrible

out of our friends and allies to our enemies under BHO. Relax and breathe. Be a comfort to your community by volunteering. Plant some trees and flowers. Visit the sick and the elderly. Read to underprivileged children.

Do something other than an nou nce you r disdain for your president and hatred for half of your fellow Americans.

Mr. Molinari speaks of virtue. Virtue isn’t the acceptance of such abominations as abortion and non-gender assignments of children. It’s neither the establishment’s call to war over every dispute.

He speaks of religions that are excused for bad behavior. Did the 990,000 Christians who were killed since 2009 somehow escape his news feed? The Jews who are blocked from speaking out on social media, do they not deserve a voice?

Mr. Molinari goes on to blame the “media,” Fox News in par ticular, for spreading false information.

Not once since President Trump was proven right on any issue has CNN or MSN offered a retraction, never mind an apology.

Not one Trump supporter that I know believes Donald Trump is infallible. That is his particular trait that we love. He doesn’t speak like a sleek, slippery, slimy politician. And yet, he gets the job done.

The first step is always the hardest, Mr. Molinari. Now perhaps a support group for those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome is in order.

Media Bias Is Widespread The word bias refers to showing an unjustified favoritism toward something or someone. Thus, on a very simplistic level, media bias refers to the media exhibiting an unjustifiable favoritism as they cover the news. When

news reports, those reports present viewers with an inaccurate, unbalanced, and/ or unfair view of the world around them.

The definition of media bias is a lot like Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart’s definition of pornography “I know it when I see it.”

Media bias is real. It reduces the quality of journalism, and it fosters distrust among readers.

Hiding behind the First Amendment the mainstream media constantly blankets the public with inaccurate slanted hit pieces and have become no more than the far left propaganda wing of the Democrat party. To name a few CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post and the NY Times.

Much of the public doesn’t realize just how strict the code of conduct that journalists have traditionally followed. The Journalist’s Creed stands in bronze at the National Press Club in Washington, DC for all to see, it states in part that “individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another’s instructions or another’s dividends.” I challenge any and all who call themselves journalists, at any and all professional levels to read the creed and then perform a sincere inventory of his or her journalistic practices.

Conservatives are an alien species in many newsrooms.

The resulting slanted (and occasionally hostile) coverage leaves conservatives rightly distrustful. This breeds the perception that the media is out to get them, and gives credence to the saying “fake news.” Opinion or fact or somewhere in between the results of this bias include slanted news, withheld information, warped priorities, and discrediting news sources that cover stories they intentionally ignore.

The question is what ever happened to the free press; what ever happened to honest reporting?

Booker Joins Colleagues In Introducing Medicare For All Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) joined 14 of his Senate colleagues in introducing the Medicare for All Act of 2019, a bill to guarantee health care to every American as a right, not a privilege.

The United States spends far more per capita on health care than any other nation; however, 34 million Americans do not have health insurance, thousands of people die each year because they cannot afford medical care, almost one in three adults with insurance have been unable to afford the care they need and nearly half fear bankruptcy in the event of a health emergency.

The legislation fundamentally transforms the countr y’s dysfunctional health care system by eliminating profit-driven health insurance corporations and instead covering every resident through an improved Medicare plan at far lower cost to working families and the nation as a whole.

“Every single person deserves health care they can

afford, and no one should go bankrupt or suffer from illness because the cost is too high,” Senator Booker said. “Our nation’s per capita health care spending is more than twice the average of other developed nations, and yet we continue to suffer worse outcomes on basic measures of a healthy society, like maternal and infant mortality. We need to expand access to health care in this country and dramatically lower the cost for American families. Medicare for all achieves this goal by ensuring the fundamental right to health care to everyone at an affordable price.”

The Medicare for All Act of 2019 would ensure that Americans could go to the doctor of their choice and get the care they need, when they need it, without going into debt. It would sig nif icantly lower the price of prescription drugs by empowering the federal government to negotiate with pharmaceutical corporations. And it would expand coverage to in-

clude home and community based long-term care services, ensuring people with disabilities can receive the care they need to stay in their homes and remain part of their communities.

Under this bill, Americans will benefit from the freedom and security that comes with finally separating health insurance from employment. As is the case in every other major country, employers would be free to focus on running their businesses rather than spending time, energy and money trying to provide health insurance to their employees.

Studies from the Rand Corporation and even the conser vat ive Mercat u s Center have found that a Medicare-for-all, single-payer system would save the American people money by reducing rising health care spending and significantly lowering administrative costs.

“In my view, the current debate over Medicare for All really has nothing to do with health care. It’s all about greed and profiteering. It is about whether we maintain a dysfunctional system which allows the top 5 health insurance companies to make over $20 billion in profits last year,” Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said. “The American people are increas-

ingly clear. They want a health care system which guarantees health care to all Americans as a right.

They want a healthcare system which will lower healthcare costs and save them money. They want a health care system which will guarantee them freedom of choice as to which doctor or hospital they can go to. They want a health care system which will substantially lower the cost of prescription drugs. They want Medicare for seniors which will finally cover dental care, hearing aids and eyeglasses. In other words, they want Medicare for All, and that’s what we will deliver to them.”

Whooping Cough At McAuliffe Middle School

JACKSON – Jackson Township School District officials sent out a letter to parents on April 12 regarding a confirmed case of whopping cough at McAuliffe Middle School.

One student has tested positive for pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough.

The letter stated: “The student affected has received the appropriate treatment and is no longer contagious. We are working with the Ocean County Health Department and we will continue to monitor the situation in our district. If additional cases arise, we will again notify parents.”

District officials provided some important information about whooping cough including: • Pertussis is a highly contagious disease that is spread through the air by a cough or a sneeze. It begins with cold symptoms and a cough, which become much worse over 1-2 weeks. Symptoms usually include a long series of coughing fits followed by a “whooping’’ noise. However, older children, adults and very young infants may not develop the whoop. There is generally only a slight fever.

• People with pertussis may have a series of severe coughing fits followed immediately by vomiting, turning blue, or difficulty catching breath. The cough is often worse at night, and cough medicines usually do not help alleviate the cough.

• If your child has been around someone with pertussis, s/he might become sick with the disease. This is especially true if your child is not up-to-date with his/her pertussis vaccine shots. Even if your child’s shots are up-to-date, s/he might still get pertussis.

• If your child has been in contact with someone with pertussis, antibiotics prescribed by your doctor may prevent him/her from becoming ill. If your child is already sick, giving antibiotics early can help your child get well faster and lower the chances of spreading the disease to others.

If you have concerns regarding your child’s health, we recommend you contact your primary care physician for any care needed.

Should you not have a primary care physician, you may contact the Ocean County Health Dept. at 732-341-9700.

HOPE Sheds Light Hosts Successful 1st Annual Evening of HOPE

TOMS RIVER – HOPE Sheds Light, I nc. (HSL), a family focused Toms River-based non-profit organization offering education, resources, support and HOPE to everyone and anyone affected by addiction and the opioid epidemic, recently hosted its 1st Annual Evening of HOPE, honoring The Walter R. Earle Foundation. The sold-out event was held

at The Asbury Hotel in Asbury Park, NJ. Proceeds benefited HOPE Sheds Light.

HOPE Sheds Light’s goal through its 1st Annual Evening of HOPE was to honor the many people and corporations who have helped make its work possible and to continue to unite the community and bring awareness to the disease of addiction and the opioid epidemic.

In a room filled with over 200 people, HOPE Sheds Light achieved that goal by offering hope to so many through its inspirational ceremony and award presentation to the Earle Family, in honor of The Walter R. Earle Foundation. HOPE Sheds Light also unveiled its new mission video, which can be viewed here: bit. ly/2FHytOL. Musical entertainment was

provided by the Ever After Band featuring Rich Genoval and Cat London. Chris Pinnella also made a surprise musical appearance singing his own rendition of “Halleluiah.”

“Everyone at HOPE Sheds Light would like thank all of our wonderful sponsors, partners and friends who made our 1st Annual Evening of HOPE possible,” said Pamela Capaci, CEO of HOPE Sheds Light. “The evening was truly a celebration of gratitude. As we look to the future, our desire is to continue to grow and support families in ever-widening circles.”

Founded in 2012 after co-founder Ron Rosetto lost his son Marc to a battle against substance abuse, HOPE Sheds Light acts as a voice of hope in a community in desperate need of knowing that recovery is possible. Along with Co-founders Arvo Prima and Stephen Willis, and a team of board members and volunteers, HSL aims to shed light into the shadows of stigma and fear.

“We believe that putting a familiar face to addiction through the sharing of our stories, we are sending a new message… one that hope carries to you and your family, which says: You are not alone and people can and do recover,” said Ron Rosetto, Co-founder of HOPE Sheds Light.

“Since the families and friends of those with addiction problems often feel isolated, ashamed, overwhelmed and hopeless, HOPE Sheds Light was created to provide direction, resources and hope toward recovery. We are passionate about helping anyone in need, and we have created this organization to provide those individuals with the resources they need to find hope for a future free from drug addiction.”

Looking to the future, HOPE Sheds Light will lead into the spring and summer season with a host of events including the 2nd Annual HOPE Rises Concert: An Evening of Chris Pinnella on Saturday, June 1, 2019 at The Grunin Center at Ocean County College, the 2nd Annual Day of HOPE on Saturday, June 15th at 253 Chestnut Street in Toms River, and the 6th Annual Celebration of HOPE Walk on Saturday, September 7, 2019 on Hiering Avenue in Seaside Heights.

Council:

Continued From Page 1 section of the township noting their own memories of the landmark property.

As of April 18, a contract of sale had not been signed according to Township Clerk Janice Kisty. “We don’t have a fully signed contract yet for Rova Farms it is circulating for signatures.”

Business Administrator Terence Wall said during a meeting last month that once the contract is signed, officials would be able to release additional details of the transaction including what the purchase price for the township would be.

The property is vacant according to the resolution concerning the planned purchase.

It is also environmentally constrained and a large portion of the parcel is in a recreational open space zone.

Council members said that the land would be acquired for open space purposes.

Nixon noted that Rova Farms has a rich history that dated back to the early 20th century and involved early Russian immigrants who bought up 1,400 acres of it in the early 1930s for $50,000.

The money for its purchase was gathered up by thousands of Russians who immigrated to the United States, according to Councilman Alexander Sauickie.

“We know the property simply and affectionately as Rova Farms. There is a tremendous amount of history there. What we are voting on is the remaining 39-plus acres.” Sauickie said.

The Jackson Times, April 27, 2019, Page 13 The township has two Russian Orthodox churches that were constructed around that time. Russian children learned Russian as one means of preserving their heritage.

Sauickie said that at one time around 7,000 Russian orthodox residents lived within a 20-mile radius of the property.

“I am happy see it go forward.”

“It is historic, it is in a great location.

It has a lake adjacent to it and what we can do with it for the future of the town I think is a great thing,” Saucikie added.

Nixon noted that the purchase would preserve the environmentally sensitive site from development and would “benefit the entire community for the rest of our history and to preserve it.”

The council president hopes that the purchase will serve as inspiration for other officials to examine additional property that could be acquired for the same purpose.

As for Springsteen, the singer referenced his Rova Farm Resort visit in his memoir “Born to Run.” He recalled that the only full-scale bar brawl he and his band have ever experienced happened in Rova Farms which he described as a “Russian social club on the outskirts of town.”

Oddly enough, the brawl began right before the band sang the popular holiday song, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.”

Township police were summoned and several people were taken out on stretchers. The show however, went on and the band completed its performance before a large crowd of holiday revelers.

Changing Your Wax Guards

Did you know? Wax guards help protect your hearing aids from damaging buildup of wax, skin particles, and other debris. Quite often, the hearing aid may sound “weak” or “dead” because of a clogged filter! Learn how to change them right at home — it’s a breeze!

Know When to Change the Wax Guard.

Putting this task on at least a monthly schedule offers an easy nudge for handling it in a timely manner. Plus, if your technology isn’t working properly — even with fresh batteries — it may be a sign that the wax guard needs changing.

Use the Right One for Your Device.

Wax guards come in diverse sizes and types, but not every version is right for your hearing aids. We can provide or help you choose the compatible wax guards for your specific hearing instruments.

Remove the Old Wax Guard. Most wax-guard kits comprise a set of small sticks — each with a removal prong on one end or side and a small, white replacement wax guard on the other.

Remove the current wax guard from your hearing aid shell by pushing the prong into the center hole of the guard

and then pulling it out.

Clean the Hearing Aid Shell. With the old wax guard removed, clean the area using a toothbrush set aside for hearing aid maintenance. Brushing off the shell with a few strokes helps clear it of any remaining wax or other debris. Remember, when brushing the hearing aid, the receiver port should be facing downward.

By this time, you should be hearing more sound from the hearing instrument (particularly if the wax guard was clogged).

Install the New Wax Guard. Using the same tool, line up the end that contains the new guard with the hole on your hearing aid shell or earmold where the old one sat. Gently push the prong into the center hole — the new wax guard should set or snap in place — then pull the prong back out. You may need to briefly hold the new guard in place with your fingernail while you remove the tool.

If your technology still isn’t sounding as clear as it did, however, or exhibits some other issue, please call us at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin). We’re here to help! Visit us at www.garden statehearing.com.

Natural Remedies For Reflux And Esophagitis

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

I finally got reflux and heartburn after all these years. I have newfound respect for those of you who deal with it! I traced my problem to drinking shots of yerba mate. I drank them several times a week for energy. I noticed the heartburn and belching about 20 minutes after drinking one tiny glass bottle of it.

It happened three times last week and then I made the connection. I did a little research and apparently drinking too much mate, especially hot mate is tied to esophageal cancer. I’ve stopped drinking yerba mate (cold) shots as a result of my pain as well as these concerns.

I didn’t take famotidine (H2 antagonists) or omeprazole (Prilosec, a popular PPI med).

I started taking natural remedies and my strategy worked! Just one week later, I have experienced a complete turnaround. I’m 75% better. I have a longer version of this article that I can email to you if you sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com Here’s the short story of my strategy: 1. Discontinue the offender. - For me, the yerba mate was the problem. Sometimes it’s smoking, spicy foods, alcohol, or hot drinks.

Whatever it is, discontinue your trigger.

2. Discontinue spices and hot foods. - I’ve temporarily given up spicy mayo, cayenne and black pepper and even vinegar to give my esophagus a rest. Also, I noticed if I drank hot coffee or tea, it would hurt.

According to the article published in International Journal of Cancer, drinking hot tea dramatically increases your chance for developing esophageal cancer. So drink your

beverages lukewarm.

3. Drink Marshmallow root water. - I put about 1 tablespoon of dried marshmallow root (per cup of water) in a big glass jar with cold water. In a few hours, you have a water that is somewhat thicker, preserving the mucilaginous properties of the marshmallow, which coats and soothes delicate membranes as you drink it.

4. Mastic Gum - Mastic Gum is a resin that is extracted from a tree. This is sold as a dietary supplement and it’s used as a natural remedy for many intestinal problems including indigestion, acid reflux, inflammatory bowel disease, gastritis and ulcers.= 5. Zinc Carnosine - This is a dietary supplement that chemically ties together a zinc molecule to a carnosine molecule. The tissue healing effects come from both compounds which allow for tissue repair and a reduction in intestinal inflammation.

Symptoms of esophagitis vary and include some of the following: Swallowing food and then experiencing mild pain in the chest or throat, the sensation that something is stuck in the throat or sternum, early satiety, belching, mouth sores, heartburn, reflux and mild nausea.

Acid blockers do not soothe, coat or directly patch up the mucosal lining. They suppress acid which gives your esophagus a break. It’s indirect, but okay if that’s what you’re doctor recommended. If you’re not significantly better within a week of your home treatment (natural or over-the-counter), please go see a specialist to make sure there is no serious underlying cause for your problems.

In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family.

Protect yourself.

Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment.

When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy.

We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy.

The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries.

The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets.

We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured.

The Standard Policy does provide medical Michael J. Deem expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses.

When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.”

We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.”

By choosing the “Limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing.

Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Encourage New Experiences Dear Joel, I am concerned about my 23-year-old son. He has been dating his girlfriend for over two years. She breaks up with him repeatedly. It sometimes feels that it happens every other month. I have told him that this girl is not right for him. I have to constantly explain to family and friends why she is at some holiday dinners and not at others. If there is a family wedding, her absences are always noticed. I don’t want him hurt and am tired of how she treats him. He seems to always go back for more punishment. It makes me feel less of him and I don’t like feeling that way. Do you think it’s a good idea to speak with him?

Answer: I think that speaking to him is fine. After all, you are a concerned parent. That being said, I want to caution you about your communication style. If your plan is to say that his girlfriend is not right for him, she’s trouble, no good, etc., in all likelihood, you will make the

story worse for everyone. He already knows that you disapprove of her. I can assure you of that. He already hears your voice in his head. What I would do is make suggestions of moving towards new experiences. Have him join a gym, do volunteer work, get a second job. In everything that I mentioned he will be meeting new faces, trying new things and most likely feel better about himself.

His self esteem will clearly improve. His girlfriend may find new respect for him as well. Your son is 23 and must make his own choices. If they are the wrong choices, I don’t know of anyone who has always done the right thing. I wish you and your family well.

Take Home A Furry Friend On National Adoption Day

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Have you been searching for that special “fur-ever” friend to join your family? You’re in luck! On April 30, the Ocean County Animal Facilities (OCAF) will celebrate National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day with a special adoption event.

Adopt, don’t shop. Help OCAF to reduce the number of homeless dogs and cats by adopting a lovable furry friend.

“Adopt a Shelter Pet Day is a great way to remind people that there are so many precious cats and dogs waiting for homes at our two county animal facilities,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

“With the abundance and variety of cats and dogs to choose from there is never a reason for anyone to shop at a puppy mill.”

The adoption event will take place during a week-long celebration of National Adoption Day. For the entire week of April 29, OCAF will offer reduced adoption fees on all adoptable pets.

“People interested in owning a pet should always be reminded to adopt responsibly.

An animal’s care is a lifelong commitment and should never be an impulse decision.

Do your homework and make sure you find

the pet that fits your lifestyle,” said Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator.

All of the dogs and cats up for adoption at this event are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and have age-appropriate vaccinations.

Find the newest four-legged addition to your family at either the Northern Ocean County Animal Facility, located at 615 Freemont Avenue in Jackson, or the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility, located at 360 Haywood Road in Manahawkin.

“If you’ve been thinking about adopting for the first time, or even adding another pet to your family, this adoption event is a great time and place to start your search. Also, anyone taking home a four-legged friend will receive a goodie bag filled with treats and toys for their new best friend,” stated Mary Alano, Manager at OCAF. “Shelter dogs and cats make great family pets and nothing is more rewarding than giving these wonderful animals a permanent loving home,” stated Trish McCallum, Manager at OCAF. For more information on the National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day event, call 732-3419700, ext. 7735 or visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

28th Annual Scholarship Golf Classic

The association also awards $5,000 to the Trustees of the Ocean County College for a scholarship fund distributed to incoming OCC freshmen. In addition, the William T. Hornidge Memorial Scholarship provides $1,000 to the person who achieved the highest academic record achieved during four years attending high school, the David M. Simmons Memorial Scholarship provides $1,000, the Russell K. Corby Scholarship, and Arthur P. Petracco memorial Scholarship provides $1,000 each to students entering various fields.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of APR 27 - may 3

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Use your charm this week. People might be so glad to see your smiling face they may overlook your foot in the door. Small rifts over finances will disappear quickly if you don’t overreact to unexpected changes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the week ahead, you might have the urge to go on a mission to heal the ills of the world. Your high-minded objectives will seem exciting to some people but may just seem odd and eccentric to others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you were a pencil you would be sharpened to a fine point and ready to go. In the upcoming week you will find it easy to deal with any kind of work that requires accuracy. A loved one may be lost in minutia.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cliches are often repeated because the truths they represent are well worth repeating. As this week unfolds you might find a cliche that bears remembering because it works wonders on your attitude.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Off with the old and onwards to embrace the new. A chance for a change of scene can make your week ahead exciting and rewarding. You may participate in a transition that involves a coworker or family member.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you want to waste time this week, waste it well. Pleasant surroundings will raise your spirits and soothe your soul. Spoil yourself with soft pillows and aromatherapy products or spend some time at the local spa.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It wasn’t only Elvis who could sing, “love me tender.”

In the upcoming week key relationships may become closer, sweeter and more rewarding.

A chance meeting could help you make better financial choices.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): New friends recharge your social battery. You may shine at the workplace and receive commendations.

Your practical business sense may be at odds with your desire for luxurious possessions in the week ahead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The biggest hearted people make the biggest gestures.

You could bite off more than you can chew in the week ahead by saying “yes” just to be cooperative when saying “no” might be the better response.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Reach out and do your research. In the week to come you might be prompted to analyze someone’s motivations and conduct investigations. It is always better to have too much information, rather than not enough.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Where there’s a will there’s a way. Get pet projects off the ground in the early part of the week while your energy and enthusiasm for something new and different is at a peak. Keep a lid on unnecessary spending.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may enjoy an elevated level of optimism in the week ahead.

Put your irons into the fire as early in the week as possible while your energy levels are high. Focus on making purchases that uplift your spirits.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Rustic Soup Brings Back Warm Family Memories

By Wolfgang Puck

I first learned to cook in a kitchen ruled by two strong, loving women: my mother and grandmother. They were both amazing cooks, and all these years later my mouth still waters when I think about the food they prepared.

They weren’t fancy about our daily food.

Though they both knew how to prepare the finest traditional Austrian dishes, they ran our home smartly and frugally. They grew most of their own vegetables, relying largely on fresh produce straight from our home garden along with smart pantry staples.

Among their most reliable staples were dried beans. Of course, they grew most of the beans they used. I remember scarlet runner beans that they let dry on the vines in the summer sun before shelling and storing them. There were white beans like cannellini, too, since we lived so close to the Italian border. And I’m sure they bought more beans at local street markets.

For such an inexpensive ingredient, dried beans provide generous flavor and texture, not to mention abundant healthy nutrients such as B vitamins, potassium, complex carbohydrates and fiber, along with good amounts of protein but little fat and no cholesterol. More than just a great accompaniment, they’re robust and flavorful enough to serve as a main dish in their own right.

Take, for example, my recipe for white bean soup with root vegetables. With generous quantities of root vegetables, a little bacon for extra flavor (though vegetarians and vegans could leave that out), and optional garnishes of sliced cooked sausage and freshly grated Parmesan (also easy to omit for those who don’t eat meat or dairy), it’s definitely a soup that adds up to a meal in itself.

With very little effort on your part, my recipe - which you can make with any variety of dried white beans - yields a generous quantity: 3 quarts (3 liters), the equivalent of a dozen 1-cup (250-mL) servings. So, unless you’re feeding a crowd, you can refrigerate or freeze leftovers to reheat for later.

Add some warm, crusty bread, a salad of flavorful leaves like kale, arugula or endive, or just a simple slaw of shredded cabbage and carrots, and you have a perfectly satisfying dinner. It’s the sort of meal that will make you feel as if you’re dining by the fireplace.

Once you’ve made the soup a few times, feel free to start experimenting. Use different kinds of beans, vegetables and seasonings. Add a smoked ham hock or turkey leg, if you like. In other words, make the recipe your own, reflecting whatever you have available that’s in season.

In other words, cook like my mother and grandmother did.

WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH ROOT VEGETABLES Makes 3 quarts (3 L) 2 cups (500 mL) dried white beans 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 1/2 quarts (2.5 L) store-bought good-quality

low-sodium chicken stock or broth, or vegetable stock or broth 2 ounces (60 g) smoked bacon, about 3 slices, cut crosswise into strips 2 medium yellow onions, peeled, trimmed, and diced 2 large carrots, trimmed, peeled, and diced 2 small celery stalks, trimmed and diced 1 small bulb celeriac, peeled and diced 6 large garlic cloves, peeled and chopped 1/4 cup (60 mL) tomato paste 1 large tomato, about 8 ounces (250 g), peeled, seeded, and chopped 2 or 3 large fresh basil leaves 2 or 3 sprigs fresh Italian parsley 1 sprig fresh thyme 1 sprig fresh rosemary 1/3 cup (85 mL) sherry wine vinegar 2 teaspoons sugar Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper Sliced cooked sausage, for garnish, optional Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish, optional Start prepping the beans the night before.

Little by little, spread them out on a clean work surface and sort out any grit or other debris or malformed beans. Put the beans in a strainer, and rinse thoroughly with cold running water. Then, transfer them to a bowl, add cold water to cover them by at least 2 inches (5 cm), and leave at room temperature to soak overnight.

Start cooking the soup at least 3 hours before serving time, first draining the beans thoroughly.

Heat a large stockpot over medium heat, and add the olive oil. Add the bacon strips and cook, stirring frequently, until they have browned lightly, several minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove and discard the bacon.

In another pot, bring the stock or broth to a boil over medium-high heat; then, reduce the heat and keep warm.

While the stock is heating, add the onions, carrots, celery and celeriac to the pot containing the oil and bacon fat, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, chopped tomato and drained beans. With kitchen string, securely tie together the basil, parsley, thyme and rosemary. Add the bundle to the pot along with the vinegar and sugar. Pour in the hot stock or broth, and stir well. Season lightly with salt and white pepper.

Raise the heat, and bring the liquid to a full boil.

Then reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, and adding more stock or fresh water as needed to keep the beans fully covered.

When the beans are tender, remove and discard the herb bundle. Ladle out 2 cups (500 mL) of the beans and vegetables and puree them in a blender or food processor, carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions for processing hot liquids safely without spattering. Stir the puree back into the pot. Taste and adjust the seasonings with more salt and pepper.

To serve ladle the soup into heated bowls. If you like, garnish with sausage and Parmesan cheese.
