By Bob Vosseller POINT PLEASANT BEACH - A partnership to feed fish to the hungry and reduce the waste of fresh fish that cannot be sold, has been formed between a leading food bank organization and two

seafood companies.

Fulfill, formerly the Food Ban k of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, joined forces with America’s Gleaned Seafood of Lavallette and Trinity Seafood of Lakewood to launch the nation’s first volunteer

pilot program.

The conference, held at t he Fishe r me n’s Dock Cooperative in Point Pleasant Beach included members of each agency who spoke about how the program was designed to prevent the waste of fresh

fish and how it would provide food for those in need.

“This will be a game changer when it comes to providing fresh protein to those who are food insecure in New Jersey and Monmouth (Fish - See Page 4)

Forum Seeks Solution To Opioid Epidemic

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – A panel of five experts addressed the crisis of opioid addiction using the township as a lens for a much broader state-wide and national problem.

The event was the third in a series of meetings called

“K nock Out Opioid Abuse Town Hall” that featured local experts who discussed the issue and solutions through their own experiences and perspectives.

The Sept. 25 forum held at the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library, included Township Mayor Thomas Kela-

her, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer, Hope Sheds Light Volunteer Coordinator Heather Price, Holy Cross Lutheran Church Pastor Rev. Susan S. Jones, and Toms River resident and Hope Sheds Light Co-Founder Beverly Prima.

Officials Discuss Vaping Dangers

By Kimberly Bosco MANCHESTER – At the Sept. 23 meeting, members of the Manchester Township Council discussed the possibility of producing an official statement in regards to the ongoing “vaping crisis” on behalf of Manchester Township.

Councilman James A. Vaccaro, Sr. brought forth the idea during his report, stating that Manchester should consider drafting an ordinance, or something of the like, that reflects its official stance as against vaping products.

“Michigan was the first state and New York was the second state to ban flavored e-cigarettes,” added Vaccaro.

Michigan became the first state to take action at the beginning of September. New York followed (Dangers - See Page 5)

and Ocean counties in particular,” said Kim Guadagno, CEO and president, Fulfill, and former Lt. Governor of New Jersey.

Guadagno explained seafood gleaning during the news conference. “most of us know what produce gleaning is which is simply taking the extra produce that would otherwise be tossed and giving it to food pantries and shelters. It is the same thing here only with seafood.”

“Commercial fisheries often have what is called bycatch, which is a lot of leftover fish, which they can’t use for one reason or another, which is either tossed back or sometimes tossed into the dumpster and it’s perfectly

food to maintain an active and healthy life.

Members of the group prepared some basic recipes to assist those receiving the fish to cook several meals.

Guadagno thanked “the Tyson Foods Protein Innovation Fund for its $50,000 grant that made the pilot project possible. We’ve actually processed our first fish from this…

Not only is this program the first of its kind in this country but I think it will be successful throughout the country because of what we are doing here.”

Brick Wenzel, president, America’s Gleaned Seafood said, “We’re kicking this program off here in New Jersey and in Monmouth and Ocean counties where we have two of the top 20 commercial fishing ports in the continental United States. We catch over 200 species of fish in New Jersey. Usually when you think of the fishing industry you think of Massachusetts but New Jersey has a vibrant commercial fishing industry.”

“When you talk about the complexity of the seafood gleaning program we’re putting together, this is not something that will happen overnight. We are anticipating 30, 40 maybe 50 years to get this program running to 100 percent because our long-term goal here is

to get gleaning built into every fisheries’ management plan.”

Trinity Seafood President Mike Carson said, “We are very excited to be a part of this groundbreaking program. We can’t think of a better way to give back to the community then by helping provide food for the hungry,” Trinity Seafood is part of SYSCO Foods.

Carson said, “how this works is that the fishermen bring in the product that is targeted for gleaning and they bring it to the docks and the dock workers work with them at no charge and they are put in these vats, iced down, and a local delivery vehicle is dispatched to swing by and brings the product to Trinity and it is put on the roster for production.”

He added thus far Trinity has been involved with providing 1,674 meals for the program.

Gleaned seafood has reached St. Marks Food Pantry and Soup Kitchen in Keansburg and the feedback was positive.

Erin Leo, registered dietitian and nutrition programs coordinator at Fulfill said, “Fish promotes brain health.” Leo noted several health benefits of fish including a low-fat content, high quality protein and that it is “filled with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins such as D and B2 (riboflavin).

good fish. Today we’re going to start gleaning that fish. We’re going to save that fish,” Guadagno said.

Pointing to several bright blue containers on the dock, Guadagno said, “we are going to turn that food out to Trinity food processors and make sure that fish gets turned over to those in Monmouth and Ocean counties who need it the most and there are a lot of them.”

Guadagno said 136,000 people in Monmouth and Ocean County “will go to bed tonight not knowing where their next meal is coming from. One out of seven or 50,000 of them are children.”

Continued From Page 1 Hope Sheds Light, a township based non-profit group dedicated to helping families impacted by addiction joined forces with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office to present the program which was also sponsored through a Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey (PDFNJ) and The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey (Horizon BCBSNJ).

PDFNJ Executive Director Angelo Valente said prior to the meeting that “we’re seeing progress in that there is greater awareness of this epidemic and residents are being very proactive about the presence of opioid addiction which was not the case five years ago.

“We still need to break down the stigma that still exists. There are no easy answers for solving the opioid epidemic, but together we can make a difference in this important fight,” Valente added.

Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, through its philanthropic arm, The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey, is collaborating with PDFNJ on a new twoyear Knock Out Opioid Abuse initiative to address the opioid epidemic through community outreach, prescriber education, parent education and a statewide awareness campaign.

Valente said “the town halls have gone from county to county and now we are going to one community in the county and drilling down on what is happening there, what the services available are and

The Manchester Times, October 5, 2019, Page 5 what needs to be added or expanded upon.

It impacts everyone, the people we work with and socialize with. This is a disease and there is suffering.

“There are two main goals, prevention which means educating the public as to what an opioid is, and the other part is treatment and recovery and that is crucial.

We try to connect them with services on the local level. We work with agencies of government, the medical community and groups like Hope Sheds Light,” Valente said.

Last year, Ocean County’s 217 drug overdose deaths - most of which involved some form of opioid - ranked fourth among New Jersey’s 21 counties, according the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General.

Law enforcement officers administered the overdose antidote, naloxone, 811 times that same year.

Mayor Kelaher said “it is very frustrating as a mayor and former Ocean County Prosecutor to see this. We work with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force and our police department formed a unit of its own.”

Kelaher noted that the township has seen 30 opioid deaths so far this year. “The total was 40 last year and we have 144 cases where Narcan was used. We do everything we can to stop it but we can’t do it alone.”

“The numbers are down and we are working hard. Events like this raise community awareness,” Billhimer said. “Partnerships like this are key. You can’t arrest your way out of this. We reach out to groups like Hope Sheds Light which is fantastic.”

“I didn’t want to admit I was an addict.

It was while I was in treatment that I received word that the state was going to take my daughter. That is the last time I used. I want my children to understand it is alright to ask for help,” Price said.

“The only reason I’m an expert is that I’ve lived this. I lost my parents to addiction. We don’t always recognize how we can participate in this. I’m a fighter not a hider. It is import to show everyone that they are important simply because they exist,” Jones said concerning resources for addiction recovery.

Prima shared the painful loss of her son which led to her and her husband forming Hope Sheds Light. “My son grew up in Toms River and he was smart, athletic, kind and quiet before this disease came into his life. During his senior year we saw changes of irritability, sleepless nights and his grades started to slip. I thought no, this is not my son. I took away his phone and saw numerous texts and it was apparent he had problems.

“I found out after going to recovery meetings that I was not alone as a parent of an addict. I found that I was addicted to my son and my husband and I needed to learn that you don’t have to do this alone.

That there is help,” Prima said.

Since January, there have been 181 opioid overdoses in Toms River, 20 of which were fatal, according to recent data from the New Jersey Army National Guard (NJARNG) Counterdrug Task Force.

“We each play a role in the solution, and today was the first step,” said Valente. “It

is only together, through unified efforts, that we can effectively approach and develop ways to resolve this public health crisis.”

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo explained why vaping poses risks to the younger generation in a statement: “It is undeniable that vaping companies are deliberately using flavors like bubblegum, Captain Crunch and cotton candy to get young people hooked on e-cigarettes - it’s a public health crisis and it ends today.”

The Federal Drug Administration has also kick started an investigation into the “rash of illnesses” caused by vaping products.

The FDA counts 530 confirmed and probable lung injuries so far.

As of Sept. 24, nine people have died as a result of the ongoing “vaping crisis.”

While New Jersey has not taken to banning the sale or use of these products, Governor Murphy’s administration has established the Electronic Smoking Device Task Force, which is “directed to formulate a comprehensive strategy to protect New Jersey residents from the hazards of electronic cigarettes.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F eatured L etter Mourning Trees Lost To A Closed Store I’m really bummed at the soon-to-be closing of Whiting’s Walgreens. It’s not that I care about the store itself but I think of those two huge, stately, lovely pine trees which “had” to come down to clear the path for the store. They took decades to grow and now they’re gone forever, all because of a chain’s ar rogant miscalculation that they could prosper right across the street from a firmly established CVS, and in an area where residents have many, many varied options for pharmacies.

I’m no “tree hugger,” mind you. I’m not one who would’ve chained myself to the trees while r e cit i ng “ Wo o d m a n , Spare That Tree” and listening to “King of Trees”

by Cat Stevens, had I known in advance that the trees were coming down!

What I am is a Bible-believing Christian who believes God has given man dominion over the earth but we MUST be good stewards of our resources that He has loaned to us.

I was sad when the trees came down a few years

ago but now that Walgreens is going, my sadness has turned to anger.

“Thanks,” Walgreens... those amazing trees were already on the corner of Healthy and Happy before you came along! And this is coming from someone who is politically conservative and a capitalist who had his own business up north for 35 years.

And now that you’re going, Walgreens, I have a question for you. Can you put those trees back?

(Not the midget ones you planted, but “those” trees you took down.)

I didn’t think so!

“Walls Of Green” You loveliest Walls of Green along came a chain, saw no beauty...nothing serene They decided the Walls must fall And now they are moving on and now, you’re forever gone...

Letters To The Editor Trump Is Exactly Who Media Says He Is

In response to Carole A. Weidmuller of Manchester (“Silent Majority Should Stand Up Vs. Media Bias,” Sept. 14, 2019) I must totally disagree with her false narrative. First and foremost in your first paragraph, you make statements that Leftists and the Media show contempt and hatred for Trump.

You also state that we continue to espouse the same talking points which you say are belligerent, nasty, slanderous, bigoted etc etc.

So let me educate you just a little. First of all let’s start from the beginning when he was running for president.

He told Billy Bush when you’re famous you can do anything you want. You can grab women by the p***y.

Very Presidential don’t you think? On more than one occasion he has cursed on stage in front of children.

He also has caused the people who back him to behave in violence. This is not fake news. There is plenty of news footage to verify.

Another thing I must point out to you is your lack of saying anything that backs up your whining. You say this media station spews this or this other media says that. But nowhere in your entire letter do you state one fact.

Now let’s get to draining the swamp. Trump has done nothing. Unless you want to call giving the most wealthiest people tax breaks while giving the middle-class squat. Farmers are hurting tremendously due to his tariffs and another fact (I know you just love facts) we the people will be paying for the tariffs.

Trump also wants to cut Social Security and Medicare. Gee, what a great President, that is if you’re filthy rich.

As far as President Obama.

How quick you forget the mess George W. Bush left this country and the fantastic job Obama did getting our economy back on track.

Letters To The Editor Most of the kudos Trump these very important con-

Where’s The Tax Plan?

got at the beginning of his Presidency was only due to the work done by Obama.

Now things are falling apart. Because of Trump for the first time the deficit will surpass $1 trillion.

Trump has proven without a doubt his hatred for immigrants especially those of Hispanic background.

His ties to Russia and Putin will eventually be found out. Now the AG’s of New York are subpoenaing his tax records for the last 8 years. Something the con artist had promised to do years ago.

Lastly, don’t look at FoxNewless, CNN, MSNBC, or anything related to Sinclair.

Do real research and I guarantee you that you will find Trump to be the dirty con artist he truly is.

cerns and they are finally being addressed. Mayor Amato stepped up to the plate recently as Aqua NJ announced their latest proposed rate increase. Mayor Amato testified before the Rate Counsel and made the case in strong opposition to this increase to protect Berkeley residents.

I’m returning the favor today by declaring my support for Mayor Amato and the Berkeley Township Council.

I urge all Berkeley Township voters to cast their vote this year for Mayor Carmen Amato and his team!

Michael Sachs Jackson

I am a long time resident of Brick Township and I have known John Catalano for many years. I feel that everyone should know the John that I know.

John is one of the most intelligent and considerate people I know. He is someone who always goes out of his way to help others. He owns a small business in Brick and his dedication and involvement in the Bobby Buecker Memorial Foundation and the Brick Kiwanis shows that he is a man of service and integrity who truly wants the best for Ocean County and New Jersey. His great mind for business has led him to making smart decisions and success.

I am so happy that John is running for the 10th Legislative Assembly seat along with Assemblyman Greg McGuckin, who already has a proven track record. We need representatives like John and Greg in Trenton representing our principles and needs.

I hope you will go to the polls on Tuesday, November 5th and vote for Greg McGuckin and John Catalano for Assembly. They are absolutely the right choice!

Monmouth County Freeholders need board members with fresh perspectives. That is why I am voting for Moira Nelson and Michael Penna.

Penna is a dedicated educator who works with special needs and “at risk” children, while Nelson, a small business owner, is a leader in substance abuse prevention and both Penna and Nelson are committed to increasing social service funding. For example, they support expanding substance abuse programs, particularly those aiming to reduce the opioid crisis, such as harm reduction approaches.

Penna and Nelson are concerned about the environment and advocate long-term, regional environmental planning, including flood mitigation and storm water management.

They also will address the issue that Monmouth County’s landfill is nearing capacity and will implement long-term “green” waste management solutions to this problem.

As Monmouth County citizens, both are keenly aware of how expensive County taxes are. As Freeholder Board members they will push for an operational audit of each county department and cut the fat.

I hope you will join me and vote for Nelson and Penna.

Amato Looks Out For Residents You see and hear so many stories about big businesses raising rates and fees on the general public with little or no regard on public impact or overall quality. These kinds of stories aren’t just for the national or regional news, but it is one for local headlines - in the case of Aqua NJ and Berkeley Township.

Aqua Water was looking to increase its rate by almost 19% (18.7 to be exact).

For years, I have attended public meetings where the discussion was about the poor water quality the town was experiencing. It was found that there was a high concentration of iron present in the water supply.

Many residents were very concerned over this issue.

I am happy to say my town officials were just as concerned with these water issues. Mayor Carmen Amato and the entire Berkeley Council spent years applying pressure on the water company to address

This letter was written to Wayne Lewis, who announced his candidacy for New Jersey Assembly in the 9th District.

I read your letter announcing your candidacy for the NJ Assembly. Just one thing was missing. Nowhere in your letter did you state what is most important to the citizens of New Jersey: Your plans to lower taxes!

If you really want to end the “mass exodus” the lowering citizens tax burden would be the place to start.

This day, September 20, 2019, honors members of the United States Armed Forces who made uncommon sacrifices as Prisoners of War or who went Missing in Action. As the Proclamation issued by Mayor Palmer

reads, “We demonstrate our deep gratitude and admiration for our brave patriots not in words alone, but in our actions to bring them home.”

As home to numerous courageous Veterans, today Manchester Township pays homage to the men and women who served in the Armed Forces of the United States and have suffered as Prisoners of War, or who remain Missing in Action now.

MANCHESTER – September was Attendance Awareness Month and Manchester school officials released the following information to encourage students to come to school: “School attendance is linked to school achievement. Students fall behind when they miss school. Empty seats in our classrooms mean our students are missing out on learning. A student who is absent from school may be able to copy missed notes, complete missed worksheets and receive help after school. However, important aspects of the lessons are lost forever.

“Absent students miss out on explanations, discussions, questions raised and much more.

What a student misses in one class session is needed as a foundation for what will be taught in the next lesson. Absent students start to fall

behind and some never recover.

“Please become familiar with your school’s attendance policy, which may be found in school handbooks posted under Backpack on each school’s website and on our Annual Notices page.

“When a student is absent a parent or guardian should call the nurse or attendance office to report the absence and request homework for extended absences. Parents must also send a note of explanation for any absence upon the child’s return to school. A doctor’s note may be required for certain illnesses and/or extended absences. This policy was set up in conjunction with the State Board of Education’s New Jersey Administrative Code title 6A:16-7.8-Attendance.

“Remember that learning builds day by day, so we encourage you to schedule appointments and family trips during non-school hours.”

Parent/Child Special Needs Fall Fling

MANCHESTER – Any family and child with special needs is cordially invited to a Fall Fling Parent/Child Special Needs Dance in your honor! The dance will be held on Saturday, October 12, 12-3 p.m., at the Ridgeway Elementary School.

Help Rory Complete The Last Phase Of Her ‘Hawks Pride’ Project

MANCHESTER – Manchester student Rory Dunckley is starting the final phase of her Girl Scout Gold Project, the beautification of the Manchester Township High School Athletic Field. The cost of this final phase, a Hawk Mascot Statue garden with paver wall and landscaping, is significantly higher than she anticipated.

Rory has been fundraising for this project for the past year and she still needs to sell a handful of business/organization sponsorship banners to compete this project within the next three weeks. She spent the entire summer working on improving the High School athletic field in an attempt to bring more pride to our community. If you know of anyone who would be willing to make an in-kind donation or purchase a 4’x8’ banner to hang at

the MTHS Athletic Field, please see sponsor information. The cost of the banners is $400.

Rory has already installed a paver walkway at the main gate to the football field with ‘Hawks’ spelled out in the pavers. This is where the football players enter the field for games. She painted the existing tables near the snack stand and built two new vending tables for clubs to use during games. She also completed the process of officially renaming South Colonial Drive to Hawks Way. Rory has been coordinating with Athletic Director Keith Lister, who said, “The walkway and the progress she has made so far is impressive and we are looking forward to the end result. Thank you Rory for your hard work and dedication to improving Hawk Spirit!”

In the old days, many Doctors made house calls to patients when the word “specialist” did not exist. It is extremely rare to see this in the 21st Century, however, there are several select companies that do offer this service such as Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) and/or similar groups. Concierge services are now being offered by certain physician groups whereby you pay an “upfront” fee and you have a more direct channel to the Doctor when you need them. Concierge services clearly exist with Primary Care Physician’s, Internal Medicine, Podiatry, Optometry, Dental, and Veterinary practices. These practices are trying to provide an “exceptional service package” and you pay extra for these services.

Garden State Hearing & Balance Center (GSHBC) realizes the importance of extending their hearing care services outside of our three office locations (Toms River, Manahawkin, & Whiting). For example, there are hundreds of residents living in continuing care facilities such as Crestwood Manor, Harrogate, The Pines at Whiting and many others who cannot get out to see their doctors. Many of these facilities bring the healthcare professional to the resident. GSHBC provides these services to many of these facilities, and trust me, the residents are so grateful! Granted, many residents are independent enough to hire transportation to

see their doctors, however, it can become quite expensive to do so. Thus, these continuing care facilities make an effort as part as their value proposition to offer as many on-site healthcare services as possible to their residents.

Equally important…there are many folks that are non-ambulatory and find it extremely difficult to leave their home. Many of them are wheel chair bound, on 24/7 oxygen due to COPD and/or have significant health issues.

Hearing loss is very prevalent in this type of population and these folks need our help as well. GSHBC has never advertised or promoted this service, even though we have been making “house calls” for over 25 years. In my opinion, there is an increasing need for hearing care services to these specific individuals because our population is living longer and longer. We believe that everyone’s quality of life can be enhanced with improved hearing. We also know that untreated hearing loss in these populations increase the risk of cognitive decline, memory loss, and social isolation.

If you know of someone who is suffering from hearing loss and does not have the transportation means to see us, we will be happy to come to their home or place of residence. For additional information, please feel to speak to Dr. Izzy Kirsh at 732-818-3610 or email to: ikirsh@gardenstatehearing.com.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting (expanded hours!), and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Why Some Antidepressants Work And Some Don’t

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. First let me say I am not a fan of medicating normal, regular sadness that we encounter in our life, such as the melancholy associated with losing a job, or when someone unfriends you, or for hormonal cycles. There are people who are truly depressed and suppressing the urge to harm themselves. We need to be loving and gentle with them, and if they need medicine, then so be it.

Medication treatment should be based upon the neurotransmitters that are imbalanced. Doctors tend to throw a dart in the dark by prescribing popular drugs without actually measuring metabolites of neurotransmitters (for example Homovanillate or 5-HIAA) which provide a glimpse behind the curtain.

So let’s get to it, what do you think is better, an SNRI or an SSRI? Or an MOA inhibitor? The answer is unclear. One category of meds will work great for you, and be an epic fail for your friend.

Why is that?

Because Zoloft (sertraline) works by making serotonin linger longer, and that’s great if you have reduced serotonin activity. But what if that’s not your problem? What if you’re depressed because you have low DHEA, a youth hormone that declines after 40. What if it’s low testosterone or estrogen. And what if your levels of serotonin are fine, but you have super low levels of norepinephrine or dopamine? In the latter case, Zoloft would not work, and might be harmful, whereas Wellbutrin (bupropion) would be great!

Some of you could benefit from a med that raises serotonin, dopamine AND

norepinephrine. Remeron (mirtazapine) works in this regard. There are so many possibilities, so do not lose hope!

Someone else reading this needs lifting of serotonin and norepinephrine but NOT the dopamine. Effexor (venlafaxine) is an SNRI that does exactly that!

What I’m trying to say is that each of you respond to the medication that restores activity of the particular neurotransmitter YOU are deficient in. Not everyone with depression is deficient in one specific thing.

I have readers today that are in bad shape and feeling isolated and hopeless. I want to help you. Keep doing a little more ‘trial and error’ with medications (and other therapies outside the pill). There are tests you can take today to measure metabolites.

I have a more comprehensive version of this article which you can receive via email if you sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com.

In closing, I couldn’t possibly know what’s right for everyone because neurotransmitter levels are like fingerprints in people. Sometimes depression is caused by folate or B12 deficiency, or thyroid illness.

Sometimes it’s from very high inflammatory compounds, or from a biotoxin like mold. This may surprise you but sometimes it’s medication-induced, like from The Pill.

If you feel like you’re at your wits end and you’ve tried everything and it’s just time to go (and stop being a burden to others) then you need to STOP thinking that immediately because it simply isn’t so. You haven’t tried everything. There are people who love you and need you. The National Suicide Prevention Line is 800-273-8255 or text HELLO to 741741.

Inside The Law Consumer Rights And Data Breach

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Michael J. Deem

Protecting Yourself From Identify Theft

The recent data breach by Equifax meant that sensitive personal information for 145 million Americans was potentially exposed, including Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses and, in some instances, driver’s license numbers. This incident has left many consumers wondering how they can protect themselves from identify theft.

Monitor your Account Check your financial account transactions regularly. Opt-in for alerts that screen for questionable transactions and opt-in for multifactor authentication. Look for charges that you don’t recognize, even if they were for small amounts. Sometimes scoundrels test the waters with small charges. Be aware of communications claiming to be from credit reporting agency or financial institution.

Review Credit Reports By law, all consumers are entitled to a free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). You can request a free credit report from annualcreditreport.com, by phone or mail. Any site other than annualcreditreport.com is not part of the legally mandated free annual credit report program. Make sure you spell the

annualcreditreport.com domain name correctly and avoid look-alike scam sites.

Place a Freeze A credit freeze prevents new creditors from accessing your credit file and others from opening accounts in your name. A freeze could stop identity thieves because most (but not all) businesses will not open credit accounts without checking your credit report. A credit freeze does not prevent identity thieves from taking-over your existing account.

Set a fraud alert!

A fraud alert requires creditors who check your credit report to take steps to verify your identity before opening a new account, issuing additional card or increasing your credit limit on an existing account. A fraud alert is free. You can place an initial alert on your account for 90 days if you have not been a victim of identity theft.

The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle most consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. A contingency means if there is no recovery, there is no fee. Call us for a free consultation: 732-505-1212.

Toms River Resident Celebrates 101 Years Young

By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – During her life, Mae Trustman has seen a lot. A world war, various models of telephone, the introduction of television and mankind landing on the moon, but the township resident focused more on her birthday cake and friends during a recent gathering.

She celebrated her 101st birthday on Sept. 9 at Alcoeur Gardens Residential Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Community of Toms River proudly.

Trustman celebrated this milestone event in style. “She is one of our beloved residents,” Megan Trapanese, director of marketing and admissions at Alcoeur Gardens said.

Trustman was born in 1918 and was raised in the bustling city of Brooklyn, NY. It was there in Brooklyn where she grew up and eventually met the love of her life, William Trustman, a machinist by trade.

Once they were married, William and Mae

moved to the beautiful countryside of High Falls, NY and it was there that she was employed as a waitress in a tea room.

Mae worked a lot as this was the job she enjoyed most as well as taking care of her husband.

She would come home from her waitressing job to cook and care for William. The pair never had children and in their spare time they would travel all over the United States seeing its magnificent sights.

Of the many places the couple traveled to Mae said she remembered Detroit most. “Detroit was my favorite spot. Well I didn’t really like it at first but that is where my husband worked so I had to live there. He worked for the government,” Trustman said.

Trustman said that of the many presidents she saw come into office it was President Franklin Delano Roosevelt who was her favorite.

Trapanese said “one of the many stories Mae always shares is that William loved to golf and that she would watch him occasionally play but didn’t share the same love of the sport.

It just wasn’t her “cup of tea,” Mae said with a chuckle.

The Trustmans eventually settled in Toms River before Mae came to call Alcoeur Gardens her home.

Mae is a popular figure at the facility and Luis Brigeno, a certified home health aide dotes on her in particular, joking that she is his girlfriend.

“We all love Mae,” said James Buglione who coordinates resident activities at Alcoeur Gardens.

“She loves to laugh and she is a popular member of our Alcoeur Gardens family. She is also quite the trivia buff. She always astounds us with the facts she knows,” Trapanese said.

She is often referred to affectionately as “Mae, Mae” and her favorite shows are Animal Planet and Jeopardy.

“I really don’t watch TV much. There isn’t a lot that interests me on it,” Trustman said.

She does have a favorite performer however, “Eddie Fisher is my favorite singer.”

“She especially loves babies, sweets and joking around. It is at Alcoeur Gardens that we found out that Mae has always been known as a social butterfly. In her heyday, according to Mae, she was quite the fashionista and loved wearing skirts, high heels and lipstick and red nail polish,” Trapanese added.

Trapanese said, “Mae Mae has said proudly that dressing that way was her choice. One of her favorite sayings is “cleanliness is next to godliness.”

Several members of Girl Scout Troop 422, Toms River came out to sing “Happy Birthday” to her and to present a bouquet of flowers.

Staff members and 15 residents had balloons, decorations, party games, party hats, a tiara for Mae Mae and even a wand at the ready for the big moment when her cake was brought out and Mae Mae blew it out with just one breath.

“We can’t fit 101 candles on your cake,” Brigeno joked giving her a kiss on the forehead.

Trustman said she enjoys fish especially herring but as far birthday cake, she didn’t have a preference of chocolate, vanilla or any other flavor. “I like it all,” she said.

“This is delicious,” she said smiling after having her first bite of birthday cake.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCt 5 - OCt 11

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the week ahead, you might feel a sense of relief as a loan is paid off or you get a financial pop of some kind. Hold off on purchases for the next few days, as you may get a better deal later in the week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Focus on learning new things as this week unfolds. You may be able to change situations that restrict your freedoms. You and a companion can maintain harmony by giving each other the benefit of the doubt.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may not have the tools or experience to put a project into motion this week, but you have the imagination to visualize the possibilities. Write down your ideas and file them away until the time is right.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might be surprised to learn that someone unexpected is willing to support you as this week unfolds.

There may be a minor household squabble, but a calm, reasonable discussion will sort it out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Put your money in the bank rather than buying lottery tickets or taking any financial risks. You might have high hopes in the week ahead, but must remind yourself to stay grounded in what is real right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your boundless enthusiasm to follow your dreams is matched by the grit and determination to follow through. A partner might think you are wasting your time, but keep plugging away this week and you may accomplish something.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may think

that being possessive shows that you care, but letting go shows that you trust. Give your partner or lover the space to roam free and make new friends in the week to come. Focus on showing your loyalty.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Change the way you speak to yourself. In the week ahead you may make mental or emotional breakthroughs. You might benefit from someone’s enlightening and unique perspective. Keep any jealousy in check.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you are not where you want to be in life, the week ahead may offer opportunities to change that.

Avoid increasing your debt during the next few days, when you might take on more than you can handle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the week to come, it will be wise to address your priorities first and organize your possessions and thoughts to make your days run smoothly. If you’re prepared, you can handle almost anything.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Romance will take a turn for the better later in the week. During the next few days, you may have good luck if you focus on developing your social network. Be cautious about how you handle your cash.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Expect the best and prepare for the worst, but don’t let your imagination run away with you. Worrying about something before it happens is wasted energy. Go confidently ahead knowing you can handle what comes.

Try A Different Shape This Season

By Wolfgang Puck VEGETABLE CALZONES Makes 4 Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough (recipe follows), separated into 4 equal balls, or good-quality store-bought pizza dough 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra as needed and for brushing 2 cups (500 ml) sliced fresh shiitake mushroom caps 1 cup (250 ml) thinly sliced slender Asian eggplant rounds Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 cups (500 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese, about 1/2 pound (250 g) 2 cups (500 ml) shredded Fontina cheese, about 1/2 pound (250 g) 4 cups (1 l) packed prewashed and dried baby spinach leaves, stems removed 8 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese Make Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough in advance (see instructions below).

Place a pizza stone or baking tiles on the middle rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large nonstick sauté pan and 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium nonstick sauté pan, both over medium-high heat.Add the shiitake mushroom slices to the large pan and the eggplant slices to the medium pan and lightly season both vegetables with salt and pepper; sauté, stirring frequently, until both vegetables are tender, 7 to 10 minutes, adding a little more oil if needed. Transfer the vegetables to 2 plates and spread them out to cool.

On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out each ball of dough into an 8-inch (20-cm) circle. Leaving about a 1-inch (2.5-cm) margin on the edge, divide the mozzarella evenly over half of each circle; then add the Fontina, spinach, mushrooms, and eggplant, finishing with the Parmesan. Moisten the edge of each dough circle with water and

fold the top half over to enclose the filling. Pinch firmly all along the edges of the half-circle to seal in the filling securely.

Slide a flour-dusted baker’s peel, pizza peel, or rimless baking sheet under a calzone and transfer it to the oven, carefully sliding it onto the pizza stone or tiles. Add as many more calzones as will fit comfortably. Bake until the dough is nicely browned, about 12 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven to a serving platter and brush the tops with olive oil. Serve immediately, carefully cutting each in half if you’ve only had room to bake 2, distributing the halves while you bake the other two calzones in the same way.

WOLFGANG’S PIZZA DOUGH Makes 4 balls, each 6 ounces (185 g) 1 package active dry yeast 1 teaspoon honey 1 cup (250 ml) warm water, 105°F to 115°F (40°C to 46°C) 3 cups (750 ml) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup (60 ml) warm water.

In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the oil, yeast mixture, and remaining water; process until a ball forms. Turn out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand until smooth and firm, about 3 minutes. Cover with a clean, damp towel and let rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours.

Divide into 4 equal balls. Work each by pulling down the sides and tucking under. Repeat four or five times. On a smooth, unfloured surface, roll under your palm until smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. The balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days; or frozen for up to 3 months, to be thawed in the refrigerator overnight before use.
