Town Taking Action Against Heritage Trespassers

By Bob Vosseller and Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Township officials are fed up with trespassers at the Heritage Minerals property and are taking stronger steps to stop further violations.

During the last weekend of July, a total of 221 citations were given for municipal ordinance violations, criminal violations and motor vehicle violations. There was a joint effort by local police, the Ocean County Sheriff ’s Department, Toms River Police, the New Jersey State Police Aviation Unit, and the New Jersey State Police Marine Unit.

The operations were conducted in direct response to a multitude of noise and parking complaints by Manchester residents living in adjoining neighborhoods (Suncrest

Bill Would Change 55+ Rule For Senior Communities

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Another version of a bill has been introduced into the current session of the state legislature that some say could slowly break down the concept of senior communities.

The bill will allow any proper ty owner in a senior community to “transfer property without regard to age of buyer.” However, the person who lives in that home must still be a senior.

Therefore, a corporation or an investor legally could buy the property and rent it to a senior. It is unclear how this bill would impact people renting their own home like an AirBnB. A child of a senior can take ownership of the proper ty and allow their parent to live there, but that exception already is allowed by most senior communities.

There is discussion in the bill about the federal Fair Housing Act, which allows communities to restrict based on age, whereas the Act prohibits restrictions based on things like race. The bill states that it is in accordance with the Fair Housing Act. However, if someone is allowed to live there that is not of age, they would be in violation of the Fair Housing Act. If it became law, it would be enforced by the state. The Commissioner of Community Affairs would have the ability to penalize buyers who let underage people live there.

They could also penalize the senior community’s homeowner association if they try to block the sale of a home.

The current iteration of this bill is S-2537.

It was introduced on May 12 and referred

Individual, group, couples, and family counseling is offered to make a successful transition from military to civilian life or after a traumatic event experienced in the military. Families may also use Vet Centers to help cope with the deployment of a loved one.

These services extend beyond the 300

Every so often a version of this bill comes before the state. It is often met with resistance from Berkeley Township as well as the senior communities’ homeowner associations.

“Whatever we have to do to stop this, we will,” Berkeley Councilwoman Sophia Gingrich said.

She questioned how the all-volunteer boards of the homeowner associations would be able to police who is living in a home. If they have to hire someone to enforce this bill – and make sure that the person living in the home is indeed a senior – that will add to the dues that residents pay.

“We need to maintain the integrity of our senior communities,” Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato said.

“Planned retirement communities are good for towns because they have a low impact. They have their own recreation

in their clubhouse,” he said, by way of an example.

However, with the slow eroding of the 55 and older rule, the senior communities will start filling up with families that have school-aged children. “Just imagine what it’ll do to our school system,” he said.

Earlier in the year, Berkeley passed an ordinance that codified the senior restrictions of homeowner associations. The goal was to give more power to the enforcement of 55 and older communities. It didn’t change any of the associations’ bylaws. Rather, it supported them.

The governing body members have shared that they have some of the same concerns as the residents: If too many underaged people move in, they might lose their protected status as a senior community. They also worry that landlords and real estate flippers will buy up all the homes.

locations, through more than 80 Mobile Vet Centers and over 20 Vet Center outstations, and nearly 1,000 Community Access Points. Community partners make access points possible, by providing donated space on a routine basis for Vet Center counselors and outreach staff to deliver a wide range of services and reduce time or distance to care.

Trenton Vet Center Director Dr. Mildred Nti said she and her team worked very closely with JB MDL Base Command to expedite this partnership and bring Vet Center services directly to those seeking

them on base.

“This is an exciting opportunity for our team to deliver the important mental health services our eligible veterans and service members earned in an inviting, convenient and accessible location in their community,” Dr. Nti said.

“We’ve received such a warm welcome from JB MDL Base Commander Colonel Bert W. Adams, Violence Prevention Integrator and Suicide Prevention Program Manager, Janis Doss, and Community Support Coordinator, Crista Brady-Szabo and are eager to get started,” she added.

“Our civilian employees are veterans too, so the ability for this community to have Vet Center services and support available for our military members and families will help ease their transition from military to civilian life,” Doss added.

The Vet Center will offer services by appointment only at 5418 South Scott Plaza, McDonald Hall, Suite 131, Fort Dix. The office will be open every Wednesday thereafter from 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

Those looking to schedule an appointment should call the Trenton Vet Center at 609-882-5744.

to Senate Community and Urban Affairs Committee. It was sponsored by Sen. Troy Singleton.

The Assembly version of this bill is A-4106. It was introduced on June 2 and referred to the Assembly Housing Committee. It was sponsored by Assemblywomen Yvonne Lopez and Angelica Jiminez.

Berkeley Councilman Michael Signorile urged the council to pass a resolution objecting to it, and the rest of the governing body agreed.

“This is just the state continuing with their war on senior communities,” he said. “We have to do everything we can to protect these communities.

“It’s been a long struggle,” he said about the fight to stop bills like this. He expressed concern about the way this would be enforced, and its impact on the senior communities.

Continued From Page 1 Center comes in and distributes hot meals for those in need while a program coordinated through the Ocean County Recreation Department provides an activity.

During The Manchester Times recent visit to The Barn, the activity of the day was making flower pots.

Among those who came out for the day’s recreation activity were Anita Shade of Cedar Glen Lake and her friend Kitti D’Amore of Berkeley Township. Both said they were having fun but weren’t too sure of their artistic abilities in creating the pots.

“I’m a lousy artist,” D’Amore said laughing as she was applying some tiles to the pot.

“I have two of them at home that my son gave me. I killed both the flowers that were in there in a very short time.”

“Chef Tom over at Community Medical Center comes in each Wednesday along with his crew and volunteers and they bring in the food and we help distribute it,” Donaghue said. The food is from the hospital kitchens.

“Community Medical Center is really stepping up,” she added. “This started I think since October. We started to do meal distribution before Thanksgiving because on Thanksgiving they brought in 300 Thanksgiving meals.”

Donaghue had hoped to have had The Barn open to the public as a business last year but said there were several days, including issues from the pandemic and having to navigate Pinelands Commission

The Manchester Times, August 6, 2022, Page 5 applications.

“There have been some stops and starts to put it mildly,” Donaghue remarked. “There have been people from around the town and area towns who have been incredibly supportive but we are living in some weird times right now.”

Donaghue remains patient noting a barbecue business in the township that took about two years to get up and running. She hopes to open The Barn later this summer. Last autumn, she told The Manchester Times that the restaurant’s menu would be similar to the chain restaurant, Cracker Barrel. “That is exactly the kind of food that The Barn will be offering.”

“We’re getting there but this is a bit more complicated. I’m waiting for my final inspection and CO (certificate of occupancy) and we’re trying to get some permits,” Donaghue added.

As for now, each Wednesday The Barn is the destination point for some food and fun activity for an average of “50 to 60 people, all seniors, and this is happening with very little to any advertising,” she said.

Donaghue also said, “we will be offering and delivering hot, nutritious, supplemental meals to those in need daily. We will also be delivering full pantry orders to the clients who are unable to get to the facility and we’ll be running mobile pantries on a weekly basis, especially to the Crestwood Villages.”

She said at the time that the plan calls for the pantry to allow clients to choose what they want, instead of being given pre-made bags of items.

“We will be offering fresh produce, meats, cheeses, healthy canned and dry goods, bakery products and much more,” Donaghue said. A garden has been created in recent months on the property of The Barn.

While throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties there are 280 food pantries, only five of those pantries operate five days a week, she said. “We will be ensuring all needed food and supplies will be delivered to our most vulnerable seniors and the disabled, while running a brick-and-mortar site five days a week and providing mobile pantry services every weekend.”

“One thing I have never gotten used to and will never get used to is those that cry out in gratitude. They don’t have to register in advance they can just show up. We start the senior recreation program at 1 p.m. and then Community Medical Center comes in with the meals around 2 p.m. and as they are packed up they take them as they leave.”

“Once we are up and running completely, I am hoping to be doing congregant meals and things like that,” she added.

Prior to that weekend, there had been more than 100 summonses given throughout the summer, Mayor Robert Hudak said. Local police are working in conjunction with neighboring departments to increase patrols during weekends and holidays when most people are sneaking onto the land.

In conjunction with the quality-of-life issues created by the illegal entry of people onto the property, the site is a safety hazard.

Over the years there have been drownings as well as serious or fatal recreational vehicle crashes.

Mayor Hudak noted that part of the problem was that property includes “an old quarry and some of those mines have been flooded and are quite deep. There are undercut banks out there and all sorts of natural hazards. It is a big problem. We are finding that it is a lot of people from outside the area that are coming there and partying there.

“The police have been reminding the public that there are no trespassing signs out there and it is private property. It is supposed to be closed to recreational use,” the mayor said.

The vast majority of the complaints that were received involved excessive noise created by loud music and motorized vehicles.

These vehicles include but are not limited to dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles, and several types of watercrafts.

“We are going to be introducing ordinances to double the quality-of-life violations like noise and littering and such and we’ll be introducing that at the next council meeting.

I’ve instructed our township attorney to look at other legal action we can pursue and to see what different ways we can rectify the situation,” Mayor Hudak added.

“Quality of life issues for Manchester residents and public safety have been and will remain the focus the Manchester Police Department as it continues to address the issues involving Heritage Minerals,” Manchester Police Chief Robert Dolan said.

One idea voiced during a recent Township Council meeting by Business Administrator Brandon Umba was collecting footage from a drone sent out to that vicinity.

“That is from the State Police and Sheriff’s Office. They routinely do that and that is part of this enforcement process. I believe they have gotten some footage,” the mayor said.

The Manchester Times, August 6, 2022, Page 7 the 7000-acre property was sold to and subsequently operated by Heritage Minerals until the cessation of mining operations in the early 1980s. The vast property allows for illegal entry from Manchester, Berkeley, Toms River and Lakehurst.

In the interest of public safety, Manchester Police urges everyone to obey the “No Trespassing” signs posted at the site.

Trespassers are subject to hefty fines and penalties up to and including incarceration

for being on the property.

The site is an attractive nuisance, meaning that people are drawn there to do illegal activity, even if that illegal activity is trespassing. Some towns have begun charging property owners that are repeat offenders.

For example, Toms River charged hotel owners where police had to come multiple times a week for drug arrests. Local police have been putting many hours into responding to this location, and first responders risk

their lives to save swimmers in the lake. The Manchester Times asked township officials if they would ever consider taking legal action against the owner for maintaining a property that is a drain on municipal resources.

“The Township is taking a multi-pronged approach to stop this activity and we are reviewing all legal options available to the municipality,” said Kelsey McGuckin-Anthony, township attorney.

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

Entertainment And New Stores In Manchester From The Desk Of

The Mayor - By Manchester Mayor

Robert Hudak Hello Manchester residents, Thank you for taking a moment to read my monthly column. I hope you are all staying cool and avoiding the heat wave we’ve experienced for the past couple weeks. The summer months are usually a little slower here in Manchester after budget season, but nonetheless we’ve still had a lot of exciting events and happen-

ings here in town.

First and foremost, Manchester Day 2022 at Harry Wright Lake was a massive success! Council President Brush, Council Vice-President Zolezi, Councilman Fusaro, and myself were happy to kick off the opening ceremony and meet with so many of our residents in attendance. In fact, it was so well-attended that many of the vendors reached out afterwards requesting a spot next year and expressing their gratitude to our town that led to many of them selling out of their entire inventory! All of the day’s festivities were a perfect complement to our one of a kind fi reworks show later

that night. I want to give special thanks to Tracey Lynch and our Recreation Department for a job well done!

The Summer Concert series at Harry Wright Lake is underway with our fi rst two performances of the year now fi nished. Council President Joan Brush and I were so pleased to kick them off in front of a packed house of Manchester residents. After two tough years of the pandemic and COVID procedures, it’s wonderful to see these events are drawing more residents than before and that everyone is enjoying these shows under normal conditions. We hope you’ll join us for Rock N’ Rhythm and the Sensational Soul Cruisers on August 10th.

I was very proud to see this summer that

our promise of no water restrictions is coming to fruition this year. The new water tower has paid dividends for allowing us to increase our supply and stay within the town’s statutory allocation requirements.

Lastly, the Mayors Economic Advisory Council and I are excited to announce that there will be 4 new businesses coming to the Whiting Commons Shopping center.

This includes a Jersey Mikes, an AT&T store, a Starbucks, and a pad site for a brand new sit down restaurant in Whiting!

The restaurant is yet to be named, but we’re hoping that we can parlay this site with one of the liquor licenses the town is auctioning off to give our Whiting residents more variety.

Thank you for reading.

Facebook, Twitter Urged To Fight Disinformation Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was joined by Senators Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.) in calling on the CEOs of Meta, Twitter, and Telegram to substantially increase efforts to moderate content by Russian state media services

RT en Español and Sputnik Mundo – the cornerstone of the Kremlin’s Spanish language disinformation and propaganda system – as Putin’s illegal war against Ukraine rages on.

The senators’ call comes against the backdrop of persistent and growing efforts by Russia to target the Western Hemisphere through information operations, particularly through Spanish-language disinformation, with a goal to spread falsehoods about Putin’s actions in Ukraine, polarize societies, and ultimately undermine democratic governance in the region.

“As Putin’s regime takes increasingly draconian measures to prevent its own citizens from accessing the truth, by blocking social media and stamping out any remaining semblance of independent media in the country, Russian state media continues to exploit the platform provided by [Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, and Telegram] to amplify and export its lies abroad,” the senators wrote. “[D] isinformation campaigns by Russian state media’s Spanish-language outlets targeted at Latin American and Caribbean audiences regularly reach Spanish-speaking communities in the United States, directly harming our national interests.

We are deeply concerned by reports that

the operations and reach of such outlets have only increased amid Putin’s actions in Ukraine.”

The senators also called on the platforms to dedicate additional resources to ensure parity between efforts to identify and moderate the spread and amplification of all Spanish-language disinformation content about Russia’s vicious assault in Ukraine and efforts to mitigate the spread of such disinformation in English.

“In these extraordinary circumstances, we must remain vigilant about the ability of known purveyors of Russian disinformation to propagate falsehoods about Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, whether in Spanish or any other language,” the senators added.

MANCHESTER – On July 20, officers from the Manchester Township Police Department gathered to honor and celebrate Cpl. Thomas O’Hare and his law enforcement career spanning more than 25 years.

During his retirement celebration, Cpl. Brian Collins presented O’Hare with a retirement shadowbox highlighting the various units he served in, as well as the many awards he received throughout his extensive and decorated career.

A graduate of Ocean County Police Academy Class #66, Corporal O’Hare began his law enforcement career in Seaside Heights in 1996.

He was hired by Manchester Township in 1998 and most recently achieved the position of corporal in 2017.

Among his many recognitions are the Life Saving Award, Meritorious Service Award, Ex-

By Alyssa Riccardi LAKEHURST – Expect to hear moderate noise from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL) throughout the month of August.

Every month, JBMDL releases their “Noise Level Calendar” so residents know when to expect mild or severe noise. This is to deter calls to local 911 dispatchers.

The calendar is labeled with three differ-

ent levels of noise: slight noise, moderate noise and abundant noise.

Majority of the days in August are scheduled for “moderate noise.”

In addition, August 7 as well as August 25 through 31 are scheduled for “low noise.”

Noise levels are subject to change without notice due to training requirements and weather, JBMDL said.

EAT TREA T YO YO’’ SE SELF

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Outdoor Recreational Safety & Co-Existing With Wildlife

Renee Thomaier Retired New Jersey State Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator JERSEY SHORE - Disposing of items in outdoor trash receptacles is an invitation to scavengers like raccoons, skunks and a variety of birds. Since public trash containers typically have no lids to them, or are easily broken into, the likelihood of wildlife encountering food and recreational items is much greater than if you took your trash home with you. Many items can be recycled.

Contact your local recycling program for their disposal requirements.

FISHING LINE and NETTING – Place the line into a container or clear zip lock bag. Entangled animals become entrapped and the struggle to free themselves leads to feather damage and lacerations. PLEASE RECYCLE. Fishing line left behind is a huge problem for birds, turtles, and a variety of marine mammals. As a wildlife rehabilitator I have removed fishing line from the legs of birds who became victims becoming entangled in fishing line on their legs/feet. I’ve seen cases where the bird’s legs were entangled for so long, toes and sometimes an entire foot was severed.

FISHING HOOKS – Place the hook into a container and take it home with you. Fishing hooks left behind are dangerous to people and wildlife. An increasing number of

people are experiencing injuries involving hooks. Various birds and marine mammals are attracted to shiny objects, and unknowingly ingest these hooks. Hooks left behind in released fish can also be ingested by their predators.

FOOD CONTAINERS – Placing your containers back into your cooler or travel gear is a convenient way to keep wildlife away from them and an easy way to transport them home. PLEASE RECYCLE. PLASTIC 6-PACK RINGS FOR CANS/ BOTTLES – Take these holders home and cut them into small pieces. PLEASE RECYCLE. PLASTIC GROCERY/SHOPPING BAGS - These bags can become easily caught on tree limbs, end up in sewers and waterways.

The statistics are startling regarding the number of marine mammals and birds that have ingested plastic and died of starvation, become entangled in, and died as a result.

Birds often line their nests with bags which later ends up causing dangers to their young. PLEASE RECYCLE. Note that this information is general and does not address every problem or solution.

Should you require assistance, I am happy to help. To reach me please call 732-2442768.

It is illegal to possess wildlife for any reason without the proper state and/or federal permits.

–Photo courtesy BlueClaws JERSEY SHORE – Kristen Palmer of Holmdel became the 8 millionth fan in BlueClaws history when she came through the RWJBarnabas Health Third Base Gate at ShoreTown Ballpark on July 22 at 6:19 p.m.

The BlueClaws entered Friday having drawn 7,999,350 fans since their 2001 inception, 650 short of 8-million. The team opened only the RWJBar nabas Health Third Base Gate, and Palmer came through as Friday’s 650th fan and the team’s 8-millionth.

“Congratulations to Kristen on being the BlueClaws 8 millionth fan,” said BlueClaws Team President Joe Ricciutti.

“8 million fans obviously means a lot to the BlueClaws, but for us it’s most about the support from the community. The Jersey Shore community has embraced the BlueClaws since day one and for that we are certainly grateful.”

As the 8 millionth fan, Palmer receives a prize package including eight nights in a Luxury Suite in 2023, eight tickets to

every remaining BlueClaws game this year, plus eight boardwalk game tickets to each game this year. Additionally, the BlueClaws will match the tickets to 2022 games by way of a donation of to eight charities of her choice.

She also threw out a ceremonial first pitch at Friday’s game.

“We’re well on our way to 9 million,” said Ricciutti. “Tonight was our eighth sell-out crowd of the season and even after this weekend we still have four great homestands to come. It’s an exciting time to be a part of and a fan of the Jersey Shore BlueClaws.”

Rob Merten of Clark became the 7 millionth fan in team history on July 27, 2017.

The BlueClaws, the Shore’s Hometown Team, have 26 games remaining this year at ShoreTown Ballpark. August’s promotional schedule includes three Thirsty Thursdays, three fireworks nights, Star Wars Night (August 5th presented by NJR Home Services), a live performance from Splintered Sunlight (August 20 as part of the Bell’s Brewery Summer Concert Series), and much more.

The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment. ShoreTown Ballpark brings the best of the Jersey Shore together in one night out with friends and family.

The 9-hole Manasquan Bank Mini Golf Course is located down the right field line. The centerfield concourse features The Boardwalk with traditional favorites like Ring Toss and Hoop Shot. The left field concourse includes specialty fire pit seating plus the Sand Bar, a special bar location with a stage that hosts live music during select games.

Tickets for all remaining BlueClaws home games are available online at BlueClaws.com.

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

Take Control Of Your Memory & Brain Health

You have the power to optimize your cognition by adopting a combination of key healthy lifestyle habits and being aware of your overall wellness. Studies show that taking proactive steps may help reduce your risk of memory loss and other forms of cognitive decline.

Depicted below are evidence based recommendations to proactively manage lifestyle-related risk factors and certain medical conditions that may affect cognition.

Stay Mentally Fit: Exercising your mind can help your brain perform at its best. Participating in cognitively stimulating activities may help sharpen certain thinking skills that tend to diminish with age. Have fun engaging your brain by reading books, playing games and doing puzzles.

Maintain Connections: Being socially active is brain friendly. Studies have shown that increased social activity is linked to a lower rate of cognitive decline. To stay social, connect with friends and family, or consider volunteering for a local organization.

Exercise Regularly: Exercising your body can help keep your brain in shape.

Research supports a strong link between physical activity and brain health. It is recommended to get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a week.

Any activity that gets your heart pumping counts as aerobic activity, such as walking, dancing, and biking.

Eat Healthy: Eating right feeds a healthy body and mind. Food that is good for your overall health is good for your brain. Consider having a balanced diet.

Sleep & Relax: Getting a good night’s sleep rests your body and mind. Insufficient sleep can not only make a person irritable, it can affect memory and decision making. Healthy adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night.

Hearing: Hearing health is important to your cognitive health. Hearing impairment has been recognized as a modifiable contributor to cognitive decline when identified in mid-life.

Optimal Vision: Manage or prevent vision impairment. Research has found the relationship between cognitive decline and vision impairment may be a modifiable risk factor. To manage or prevent vision impairment, schedule regular visits with your vision healthcare provider.

Medication Management: Medication management is important to your overall health. Taking your medicine as prescribed is important for overall health. Reviewing your meds with your healthcare provider or pharmacist is an integral part of medication management.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer your questions regarding your overall hearing health. Please call 732-818-3610 (Toms River & Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit us at www.gardenstatehearing.com.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

5 Weird Reasons For Hiccups And Potential Therapies

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

For most of you, hiccups happen for a few minutes and resolve on their own. Most of the time it happens because you’ve swallowed too much air while drinking or eating. Or maybe you’ve had a beer, or soda pop, or went from a warm house into the freezing cold! These are all causes for hiccups.

Either way, these short-term hiccups go away on their own. But what if they didn’t stop for days or weeks at a time? One man had hiccups for 20 years before he found resolution!

Having hiccups for a long time will cause malnourishment, dehydration, mental stress, chest pain, abdominal discomfort, and problems in your relationship. Not to mention you can’t speak properly anymore! If you have been experiencing hiccups for a while, I’m sure you’ve seen your doctor. If you have not, then that is number one on your to-do list.

The reason is that your physician cannot effectively treat you unless the cause is known.

Next, jot down all your medications. Don’t forget anything. For example, you may have had a lumbar injection for your sciatica or dental work. Include all the medications and treatments in the prior 7 days and share this with your physician.

A handful of medical causes for intractable hiccups traditionally teased out include diabetes, brain tumors, gastrointestinal reflux, spinal cord infections and chest trauma. But it’s the less frequent causes that I’m writing about today.

Here are 5 weird reasons for persistent hiccups: 1. Steroid use - Medications taken orally (or

by injection) that belong to the corticosteroid category can trigger long-lasting hiccups. Of the medication category, dexamethasone is the worst offender.

2. Thyroid Nodules or Goiters - You may not even realize you have a thyroid problem, because tests are not always conclusive. And with hiccups, doctors don’t automatically look at your thyroid, it is simply that unusual!

So I’m listing this because goiters, nodules and hyperthyroidism can lead to intractable hiccup episodes.

3. Pericarditis - This is inflammation of the heart tissue which can cause not only persistent hiccups, but many other symptoms like weakness, fatigue, heart palpitations, shortness of breath and leg swelling.

4. Shingles - At times, people have been known to have a prodromal warning of the onset of herpes zoster which causes shingles.

5. Medications - Many different prescribed and over-the-counter medications can lead to intractable hiccups. These include tranquilizers, medications for mental health, antihistamines, and some blood pressure pills.

As you probably already know, short-term hiccups can be received by holding your breath for a few seconds or drinking some water. But these tricks don’t work for intractable hiccups. Oftentimes, medication is needed and today we have several options that your doctor can prescribe. These include risperidone, gabapentin, phenytoin, and baclofen. I have a much more comprehensive article on this topic that includes more bizarre causes for hiccups. That is available at my website, suzycohen.com.

Insurance Rates For School Employees Might Raise

NEW JERSEY – Proposed increases to health insurance rates for the School Employees Health Benef its Program (SEH BP) would have a sig nif icant, detrimental impact on the budgets of the state’s Community Colleges. If enacted, these increases, which may total more than $14 million per year for the colleges within our system, will un-

dermine Community Colleges’ efforts to provide affordable and high-quality education to more than 200,000 students each year, including those who struggle to afford college.

This unexpected, proposed increase, thrust on the institutions serving the most at-risk population of students, will also have a crippling effect on Com-

munity Colleges’ ability to fulfill their mission of access and support for the most vulnerable college students. The proposed increase will also cause New Jersey’s Community Colleges to struggle to meet the critical workforce and other needs of employers which will cause further damage to the state’s economy.

The New Jersey Council of County

Colleges and the state’s Community Colleges urge the Plan Design Committee for the SEHBP to release all information relating to this possible increase as soon as possible, and we further urge the Governor and the legislature to work together to find appropriate solutions that will minimize any possible increases.

Inside The Law Injured At Work?!

Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!

Christopher R. Shea Esq.

By: Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R. C. Shea and Associates You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage.

In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims.

An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits.

Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment.

Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s

authorization.

Further, it is important to note another critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care.

If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. 732-505-1212.

Field Of Dreams Opens With An Inspirational First Pitch

By Stephanie Faughnan TOMS RIVER – Fans watched in heartful appreciation as 11-year-old Gavin Kane made his way to throw the ceremonial first pitch at Toms River’s Field of Dreams last Saturday.

The scene was even more breathtaking than Kevin Costner’s epic emergence from the cornfields to the pitcher’s mound in the movie that bears the same name.

Gavin’s father, Christian, held him upright from underneath both arms as the young boy used all his might to make the throw.

Tears of joy and applause overtook the crowd as Gavin’s pitch landed squarely in the catcher’s mitt waiting behind home plate. The unassuming man in a blue volunteer shirt who

made the catch immediately raced toward the pitcher to congratulate him.

Well-known as a professional baseball third baseman, local sports icon Todd Frazier appeared equally humbled and elated to change field positions to make the ceremonial first catch.

These are the things dreams are built on – and well reflects a line from the popular movie that made it to the big screen in 1989.

“This field, this game: it’s a part of our past...

It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again.”

The past led to the inspiration for the creation of Toms River’s Field of Dreams. The Kane family’s life changed dramatically when

Gavin suffered horrific injuries nearly ten years ago in a motor vehicle accident.

Gavin was just nineteen months old when a truck crashed into the back of the van his father was driving to make the turn by Toms River North. Christian Kane’s rendition of the moments immediately following the accident represents every parent’s worst nightmare.

As he lifted his son from his car seat, Christian said his shirt was so covered in blood that it looked like he’d been shot. The months and years that followed changed the family’s life and brought them to some sharp realizations.

People readily associate Christian Kane as the face of Toms River’s Field of Dreams.

After all, he’s been at the forefront of raising awareness and funds for a vision that took five years to come.

On Saturday, Christian acknowledged he is only one part of the team that brought everything together as he introduced his wife Mary as co-founder of the project.

“Mary and I are a team,” said Christian.

“We’ve been a team since we brought our two families together. We’ve been a team when dealing with Gavin and getting him better.

Mary’s fingerprints are all over this place.”

The love between Christian and Mary Kane was more than palpable as Mary took the microphone from her husband. During her remarks, Mary said the two had beaten the odds when it comes to tragedy striking the lives of couples.

“All of our kids, with the exception of one, were under ten years old, and I was expecting

our sixth,” Mary shared. “We said we would do this together, and we haven’t stopped.”

Mary said the couple’s introduction to the community with special needs led to meeting a fabulous group of unbelievable people. She ventured beyond the obvious wonderment the Field of Dreams complex offers to individuals of all ages and abilities.

“I wish for my special needs family to feel a place of utter joy and no judgment,” said Mary. “I have been on the other side where I brought Gavin someplace, and maybe his diapers stuck out, or his feeding place showed.

People just looked.”

“I want to change that,” Mary continued. “…I want people to ask questions…to learn…I want to change the conversation. I want to take out the word ‘handicapped.’”

The dedicated mother received a thundering round of applause as she told a story from a 1980s sitcom that featured a role with someone who used a wheelchair. Mary recalled the character correcting someone who called her handicapped and called herself “handi-capable.”

“I don’t want people to be seen for their disabilities,” emphasized Mary. “I want them to be seen for their abilities – the ability to love and the ability to feel.”

Mary said that the Toms River Field of Dreams represents a place where everyone can feel the kindness in one place and hopes the concept will catch fire worldwide.

People’s abilities shone even before Mary (Dreams - See Page 28)

Following The Tracks Of Historic Railroads

By Judy Smestad-Nunn POINT PLEASANT BEACH – Ocean County has a rich railroading history, partly due to its close proximity to New York City and Philadelphia. At one time, three lines operated here, and there are still some remnants of you know where to look.

German Georgieff, Chief Naturalist at Wells Mills County Park in Waretown hosted a special “Railroads of Ocean County” presentation at the Point Pleasant Beach Library which was attended by about two dozen railroad buffs.

Avid model train fans are called “rivet counters” because no model is accurate enough for them, Georgieff joked, sometimes correcting historic images of trains that have the wrong number of windows, incorrect paint schemes and more, he said.

The railroad was important to the growth of Ocean County, he said. After the Civil War, coastal towns had rich natural resources but small populations. Local hunters and fishermen had no way of getting their goods to bigger markets unless they salted or preserved their catch.

Once the railroads arrived, goods could be shipped after being packed in ice, and locals were able to make a very good living, Georgieff said.

Very few working class people could make the journey to the shore, but once the railroads started running, they could take day trips, which helped the tourism business take off, he said.

The three railroads were the Tuckerton Railroad, the Pennsylvania Railroad (a subsidiary of the Philadelphia/Long Branch Railroad), and the New Jersey

Central Railroad (which started out as the Raritan/Delaware Bay, then New Jersey Southern, then Central Railroad of New Jersey, and lastly Conrail, which went out of business in 1999).

The Tuckerton Railroad operated in New Jersey from 1871 until 1936. Initially the train ran a short track including West Creek, Manahawkin, Barnegat, Beach Haven and Whiting. Track was built past Tuckerton station to the waterfront at Edge Cove to connect with steamships that took vacationers to Long Beach Island.

The three major railroads intersected in Whiting. Tuckerton Railroad was later expanded with tracks connecting to New York, Trenton and Philadelphia.

The Pennsylvania Railroad started in Camden at a ferry crossing, went east

across the state, crossed the bay at Ocean Gate to Seaside Park where it went north to Bay Head.

The New Jersey Central Railroad had origins in the 1830s and inaugurated the Blue Comet, a deluxe that offered fi rst class service at coach rates that ran from Jersey City to Atlantic City. The Blue Comet operated from 1929 until 1941 and was so popular, a toymaker from New York named Joshua Lionel Cohen made models of the iconic train.

The history of trains in Ocean County is everywhere.

“Anytime you see an abnormally straight dirt road, that could be an old railroad bed,” Georgieff said. “When you see roads like Station Drive and Railroad Avenue, like in Forked River, that’s also a sign that (Railroads - See Page 30)

Continued From Page 22 spoke of them. An incredible rendition of the National Anthem came from a gentleman named Ron Brooks, described as a representative of the late President George H.W. Bush, Points of Light member, and the Wrestling Hall of Fame member.

During the grand opening speeches, a young boy stood next to Gavin’s wheelchair. The two exchanged playful smiles and displayed a special bond that Connor’s mom explained from the stage.

Michelle Minelli said Connor always made friends quickly and that the two boys first met as classmates in September of 2015. Connor included Gavin’s name in the list of other friends he saw every day.

“We learned the story of Connor’s friend Gavin when my mom picked up Connor from daycare in March 2016,” Minelli explained.

“My mom pointed out a green ribbon in Connor’s backpack and said I needed to ask Connor about the green ribbon.”

Connor told his mom he got the ribbon at school during the day and that it was for his friend Gavin.

“He has a boo-boo on his brain,” Connor said. “Sometimes his head falls down, and we have to push it back up. Sometimes Mrs. K. has to wipe his mouth. Sometimes, I have to help.”

Connor never suggested there was anything different about Gavin in the six months he came home talking about his school friend.

The details didn’t seem to matter to him.

When it was Connor’s sixth birthday, Michelle and her husband, John, came up with an idea for gifts. They’d read about Mary and Christian’s dream to start an inclusive playground and talked to their son about it.

“We explained to Connor that instead of getting gifts for his birthday, he would give a gift of donations to Gavin,” shared Minelli. “He understood the playground and the field would be where he and Gavin could play together.”

“Connor wholeheartedly believes that his little birthday party built this entire complex,” Minelli continued. “Naturally, John and I wanted this birthday party, playground, friendship and this experience to be a life lesson for Connor. But ultimately, it has been the greatest life lesson for our entire family.”

During a recent tour with Toms River school administrators, Christian stressed his goal to make inclusion vital within the complex.

Many of the volunteers at the day’s events were students from the district, and all wore big smiles as they interacted together.

The sounds of laughter and sights of people enjoying themselves created a sense that goodness comes in all forms and shapes.

While the experiences were priceless, Christian is the first to acknowledge the many benefactors that made the $3.6 million facilities possible.

Officially named RWJBarnabas Health Field of Dreams at the Ocean Orthopedic Associates Complex, many other contributors have earned naming rights throughout the space.

“Over our five-year journey, we’ve come to realize that RWJBarnabas isn’t just about hospitals,” said Christian. “In our eyes, they’ve now become the leaders for inclusion and equality with home health care and health services. We thank them for believing in our journey and continuing to make sure that inclusion isn’t just an obscure word.”

Barry Ostrowsky, Chief Executive Officer of RWJ Barnabas Health, said that the Field of Dreams was emblematic of a mission to ensure a particular community was served appropriately.

“There are groups of people in society who have been underserved in different ways,” Ostrowsky said. “Among them are those with special needs, particularly those with needs to recreate and congregate to be proud of exactly who they are.”

The Toms River Field of Dreams is located at Bey Lea Park on North Bay Avenue. According to its website, the schedule for open play will be announced shortly.
