Report Details Neighborhood Plans To Help Quench Flooding Issues

Despite Settlement With Church, Township Hears Complaints

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK –A dispute between the township and a church also operating a food pantry and thrift store on Brick Boulevard led to a federal lawsuit that all parties settled recently.

But the tense situation continued, as former Township Councilman Michael Thulen attended the April 5 council meeting to tell his side of events that led to a federal lawsuit filed against the township by New Beginnings Church of 236 Brick Blvd.

While a complaint filed by the church’s attorneys alleged bias from local officials (Church - See Page 14)

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – What the township’s hard-hit mainland waterfront neighborhoods could do to prevent damage from a storm such as Superstorm Sandy is the focus of a detailed report that offers more than a hundred recommendations, including road elevation

to areas such as Shore Acres, Cherry Quay and Midstreams.

In a program funded by planning grants from the state’s Department of Community Affairs (DCA), two open houses were held last June for residents who live in Sandy-affected areas for them to identify projects

in their neighborhoods, and to use those comments to create so-called Neighborhood Plans to help mitigate, prepare for and recover from future storms.

The public heard the initial presentation of the results, in Neighborhood Plans, during (Flooding - See Page 4)

Brick’s Master Plan To Address Floodplain Priorities

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The planning board adopted detailed neighborhood plans borne out of discussion after Superstorm Sandy to prirritize for flooding woes, development and capitol projects.

The four plans–Floodplain Management, Hazard Mitigation, Green Building and Sustainability, and Capital Improvement– were created to provide tools that identify and address vulnerabilities to flood-related hazards in Brick.

The Planning Committee listed 127 initiatives based on cost, benefit and timeline for implementation, and categorized the projects into low, medium and high priority actions. (See adjacent story.)

Raised Roads, Flood Protections The Floodplain Management and Hazard Mitigation Plans identify protective measures for the township to take to reduce the loss of life and property by limiting the impact of disasters like Superstorm Sandy.

Some of the adopted measures include

BRICK – An event in Brick is expanding the notion of “senior prom,” focusing not on high schoolers about to graduate but on the senior citizen community. The Brick Senior Citizen Prom is in its ninth year.

Coordinated through the mayor, council and Brick Township Recreation Department, the free Senior Citizen Prom will take place May 7 from noon to 4 p.m. at Lake Riviera Middle School, 171 Beaverson Boulevard. Participants must be Brick residents.

National Honor Society students from Brick Township High School and Brick Memorial High School come together to organize this ninth annual event with the Township Recreation Department for a memorable afternoon brunch.

The Brick Township Senior Prom brings generations together for an evening to remember. It provides a fun way for Brick’s students, staff and citizens to enjoy food, dancing and fun, Mayor John Ducey said.

“This is a truly special event,” said Ducey

a meeting held in Town Hall March 30.

The Neighborhood Plans would eventually be adopted by the Planning Board so they would become part of the township’s Master Plan, (see accompanying story) said Assistant Township Planner, Tara Paxton, who presented the plans with Maser Consulting Engineer Dave Roberts.

The drafts have a number of recommendations for the council, such as adopt i ng ordi nances rega rdi ng setbacks, building heights and other zoning issues – many of which they have already done, Paxton said.

As early as March 2013, the governing body passed an ordinance that relaxed building height restrictions and easement concer ns to encourage the restoration and reconstruction of neighborhoods. As recently as last month, the governing body passed an ordinance that eases restrictions that makes it easier for people who are raising their homes without going for variances before the Board of Adjustment.

History Of Marshland The report addresses three mainland neighborhoods: Shore Acres/Baywood and Cherry Quay/Bay Harbor, which are all located off Barnegat Bay and Kettle Creek; and Princeton/Midstreams/ Beaver Dam, which are on Beaver Dam Creek or the Metedeconk River.

Most of these neighborhoods were bu i lt de c a de s b efor e f lo o d h a z a rd regulations came into effect, he said.

Residential homes went up in former marshland.

“We also focussed on what happens regularly in low-lying areas when there is a nor’easter and there is coast al f looding in lagoon communities; we tried to touch on all those areas,” he said.

In the 1930s, there was no development in Brick and most of the waterfront areas were marshland. In the 1940s, the lagoons were dredged, and in the 1960s and 1970s many homes were built, and today the township is almost built out, Roberts said.

Plans Address Elevation, Evacuation Since Sandy, neighborhoods have homes in a variety of stages: some are rebuilt, some are waiting to be rebuilt, and some of the houses have been removed, he said.

“Once you elevate, how do you get to your front door? It depends on how big your lot is...lot sizes vary and the plans tried to cover setbacks,” he said.

Circulation ‑‑ or how people move around neighborhoods ‑‑ is a concern because in some cases there is only one road in and out, and in the event of an evacuation what happens if that road gets f looded? Roberts asked.

Some of the “further off ” plans could include improving neighborhood sidewalks, bicycle lanes and “walkability,”

and finding where neighborhoods could be connected, he said.

Roberts recommended that open spaces be “recaptured” for public access and conservation, and some abandoned/ vacant lots could be used for stormwater retention and absorption.

“There is the potential for incorporating sustainable best practices for neighborhood stormwater management during routine storms, which was not thought about when the neighborhoods were first built,” Roberts said. “Water just went down sewers and into the bay.”

Neighborhood Response Tony Almeida of Seawood Harbor said he thinks the Neighborhood Plans need to address three additional points: health and safety, the decrease of property value because of the number of homes that need to be demolished, and tech nolog y, which quickly becomes outdated.

Resident Walter Campbell said the main focus should be on the barrier island.

“It’s very unstable. It makes no sense, not putting attention on the barrier island. It should be the top priority--if it breaks again, it’s very serious. We can’t even discuss this until we deal with the barrier island,” he said.

Paxton said they asked DCA for an extension to the grant to do more work on barrier island issues; that presentation would be held sometime in May on the barrier island.

It would also be better to hold off until more of the seasonal residents are there, Roberts added.

“It’s a crapshoot,” Campbell said. “We don’t have any more time.”

Kathy Czekaj of Cherry Quay said she thought the open house would provide answers on how to prevent f looding and manage stormwater.

“The marshland is disappearing as the water gets higher. Increasing bike paths is a worse idea because it creates more impermeable cover,” she said.

“The marshlands are moving to the west,” he said. “We could analyze to see if they should be allowed to expand to upland areas...these neighborhoods were dug out of the marshes and nature is trying to take them back,” he said, and suggested that the hydrology of the marshlands could be more closely examined.

Dr. Stan Hales, who is the director of the Barnegat Bay Partnership, was in the audience, and he said that marshes keep pace with sea level rise.

“The whole purpose of this plan is to reduce the cost and reduce the risks, because properties will repeatedly f lood.

By taking some of these steps we could eliminate some of these costs,” he said.

“The wetlands were horribly damaged

by Sandy,” Dr. Hale added.

road elevations, drainage improvements, flood gates, floodwalls, levees, shoreline stabilization and erosion control.

For example, listed under high priority is elevating roads adjacent to waterways, and evacuation routes, such as South Drive in Princeton/Midstreams.

Some of the raised roads that run along Barnegat Bay could benefit with side protection, which can dual function as levees, says another initiative.

The plan suggests an erosion control project for Dock Road Beach, and the completion of a soil stabilization project at Bay Harbor Beach.

Concrete, asphalt and other impervious surfaces should be removed and in favor of gravel or planting with native vegetation; where possible, runoff should be redirected to these new pervious surfaces.

Dunes and Bulkheads The plan also supports current and planned projects such as the beach and dune replenishment plan, the steel revetment installation, BTMUA water and sewer improvements and road improvements.

It includes recommendations such as planting dune vegetation to strengthen the dunes, assessing the condition and height of township bulkheads to assess risk for failure, and more.

Building and Development The Green Buildings and Sustainability Plan addresses the challenges and limitations of developing waterfront areas,

which are significantly developed and has resulted in a high risk of flooding to much of the existing infrastructure.

Steps include safely managing existing development, and restricting new development in hazard areas; protecting natural areas and their hazard mitigating benefits; and planning for future conditions, such as sea level rise.

For example, listed under high priority is prohibiting the construction of buildings seaward of the mean high water line, except for functionally dependent uses such as marinas or boatyards.

The plan says that the township should adopt appropriate land development criteria, such as planned unit developments, density transfers clustering, and maintaining vegetated riparian buffer zones.

Another high priority item says structures located in hazard-prone areas should be purchased, relocated and/or retrofit to protect them from future damage, with repetitive loss properties prioritized.

2,000 township homes are within flood vulnerable areas, and 45 of those should be acquired and demolished by the township.

Green Initiatives The plan supports the use and installation of green energies and sustainable technologies where appropriate and affordable, which can include green roofs, bioswales, rain gardens,increased vegetation and more.

Also, under high priority is developing a fertilizer application ordinance to reduce the amount of damaging non-point source pollution during storm events;

implementing stronger pet waste and fertilizer management protocols, and more.

Priority Capital Projects The Capital Improvement Plan identifies infrastructure and public facility improvements that should be considered for capital funding; it also prioritizes the projects, recommends a time sequence and estimated costs for the implementation of each project, and lists existing sources of funds for the projects.

For example, some listed under high priority include the installation of permanent generators in the township municipal building, senior centers, temporary housing centers, water booster stations, and the seven township schools that serve as shelters.

Also, the plan calls for supporting the BTMUA in upgrading and improving infrastructure and capacity to allow for uninterrupted service during hazard events; hardening existing infrastructure; retrofitting 600 building to meet hurricane-force winds; relocating critical facilities outside of the floodplain where possible, and much more.

And lastly, the Capital Improvement Plan identifies infrastructure and public facility improvements that should be considered for capital funding and is not limited to flooding projects; it includes and prioritizes all township purchases and projects, recommends a time sequence and estimated costs for the implementation of each project, and lists existing sources of funds.

For example, some listed under high

priority include the installation of permanent generators in the township municipal building, senior centers, temporary housing centers, water booster stations, and the seven township schools that serve as shelters.

Also, the plan calls for supporting the BTMUA in upgrading and improving infrastructure and capacity to allow for uninterrupted service during hazard events; hardening existing infrastructure; retrofitting 600 building to meet hurricane-force winds; relocating critical facilities outside of the floodplain where possible, and much more.

“The committee did a thorough job ‑‑ it was a learning experience about the risks and what goes on in the town,” said Councilman liaison to the Planning Board, Art Halloran. “The cost of not doing some of these projects might reinforce...how at risk we are in this town.”

Adopting the Floodplain Management and Hazard Mitigation Plans helps in the township’s effort to participate in the NFIP Community Rating System (CRS) Program which could result in decreased flood insurance premiums for residents.

Under the CRS, the premium rates are discounted if three goals are met: reducing flood damage to insurable property, strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP, and encourage a comprehensive approach to f loodplain management.

The Floodplain Management Plan will now go to the Township Council for its adoption to be a CRS approved plan.

Library More Than Just Books When was the last time you visited your town’s library?

If your last visit was more than a short time ago, you might be surprised at just how much modern libraries have to offer.

In any community, libraries are valuable tools for education, research, community outreach and entertainment. Libraries are storehouses of knowledge and an example of the First Amendment at work. They are an American tradition.

This holds true throughout our area, where the local branch of the county’s library system is serving the community even as you read this.

This past week was a special one for libraries, too. Around the nation, National Library Week was observed throughout the country from April 10 to 16.

Though some library facilities show their age, others are modern locations offering not only the row upon row of books one expects at a library, but virtually any type of multimedia and research tool one can imagine. More information than ever on any subject imaginable is available for

the asking, and right in your hometown.

Libraries are no longer simply about books (though they can still be found by the thousands). Computer workstations are available for public use, putting the entire World Wide Web at your disposal. Hundreds of videos, CDs and other multimedia items are on hand not just for educational purposes, but for entertainment as well. Dozens of magazines and other periodicals are waiting to be read, and thousands of newspaper articles are archived using technology both old and new.

And if something isn’t on hand, they can get it for you.

Any item that isn’t on-site can be ordered through the library network. It is a state-of-the-art facility by any measure.

There’s also a number of free community programs, everything ranging from reading groups to chess clubs to preschool story time programs to educational programs. Taking advantage of these great services is not only enjoyable, it won’t cost you a dime.

Don’t miss out, check them out.

Libraries Catalyst For Change This week (April 10 to 16) the Ocean County Library joins libraries across the country in celebrating National Library Week, a time to remind the public about the contributions libraries make in their communities.

The theme for this year’s National Librar y Week celebration is “Libraries Transform” and the Ocean County Library and its staff bring this theme to life everyday by finding ways to help people transform their lives. We circulated over 4.3 million items last year, but what is equally important is how the library can be a catalyst for change.

Whether it be a homebound senior citizen to an at-risk youth, the library offers services that bring positive change and opportunities for everyone in the community. Our library system offers online career training classes, special programs for job seekers and we partner with local organizations to offer English as a second language and citizenship classes for the newest members of Ocean County.

Our libraries are continually transforming to better serve the community. We offer modern services to our customers such as eBooks, digital magazines plus access to material at your convenience. We also offer the latest in technology such as 3D printers, circuit-building kits and computer programming—which inspires the great inventors of tomorrow.

National Library Week

Letters To The Editor is the perfect time to visit your local library. On behalf of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Ocean County Library Commission and our staff, we invite you to see firsthand how libraries can transform the communities they serve.

To Find Hope, Look Around You These are very unhappy times in Washington.

Relations between the execut ive and legislat ive branches are not just sour, but cor rosive. The Republican-led Senate has declared it will simply ignore a presidential nomination to the Supreme Court. Both houses have announced that they will flout a tradition going back to the 1970s, and refuse to hold a hearing for the President’s budget director to present the White House’s federal budget proposal. Partisan paralysis and game-playing on Capitol Hill have become a hallmark of these times, as has the evident distaste our nation’s leaders feel for one another.

It would be understandable to give in to despair, and a lot of Americans have done so. I have not, and for a simple reason: in our system there is always hope. Why? Because our representative democracy rests finally not on what politicians in Washington or in our state capitals do,

but on what our citizens do.

The bedrock assumption of representative government is that Americans will make discr iminating judgments about politicians and policies, and shoulder their responsibility as citizens to improve their corner of the world.

The remarkable thing is, they often do. Over a long career in politics, I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count. At some gathering, people will complain about the schools or the roads or the behavior of a public official or an act of government that galls them. Then, after talking it over, they decide to act.

They do something about it.

Even bet ter, t he less-than-admirable stumbling blocks that we’ve c ome t o ide nt i f y w it h politics — confrontation, obstructionism, divisiveness — are rarely present.

Public dialogues may get heated, but they don’t often descend to the level of bitterness and obstinacy we see these days in Washington.

More than anything else, what you see when ordinary Americans decide to get involved in a public issue is their common sense and good judgment, their fundamental decency and their remarkable sense of fairness. Over and over, as I watch citizens at work trying to fix their communities in ways big and small, I’ve found myself wishing that members of Congress and other officials could take a ringside seat. The people involved al most always wa nt to see that even people they don’t agree with have a chance to say their piece.

They recognize there are differences of opinion and that they have to be sorted through. If you ask them to describe what result they want, they will always use the word, “fair.” They make decisions by and large based on hope, not fear or despair.

The sense that comes through when you watch A mer ica n s at work on public issues is their overwhelming desire to improve their community.

Often this is reflected in concrete projects — a new bridge, a better school, a badly needed sewer system. But you can also see it in many people’s cry for candidates who will set narrow interests and excessive partisanship aside, and work to improve the quality of life for all Americans.

While ordinary citizens may not know all there is to know about a given public policy issue, I was constantly impressed while in office at how much I learned from my constituents. We often think of representative government as a process in which the elected official educates constituents, but the reverse is usually even more the case. Americans may think that politics is filled with messiness and noise, but at the end of the day they understand the need for deal-making, compromise and negotiation — and that to achieve change, they have to work through the system we have, which means educating and pushing political leaders. As a constituent put it to me, “What’s the alternative?”

This is why I have an underlying confidence in representative government.

Americans are pragmatic.

They recognize the complexity of the challenges we face, understand there are no simple answers to complex problems and do not expect to get everything they want. They see that what unites us — a common desire to improve our communities and create better opportunities for families and individuals — is stronger than what divides us. My confidence in the system is built on citizens exercising their right to make this a stronger, fairer country.

Legislators Oppose New Jersey Natural Gas Proposed Rate Increase

Wolfe and Greg McGuckin write to BPU President Richard Mroz expressing their concer ns over the crippling effects this increase will have on their constituents, particularly senior citizens: “We write to you today to express our opposition to the proposed 24 per-

cent rate increase by New Jersey Natural Gas. Many of the constituents in our district, senior citizens in particular, live on fixed incomes and this proposed rate hike will create another unnecessary financial burden for those struggling to make ends meet. We also oppose the proposal to

raise the customer service charge by 118 percent.

This increase is not based on usage thus taking away and drastically limiting the customer’s ability to control the cost of their bill.

“As a utility company, it is the utility’s job to maintain and provide adequate and safe service for its custom-

From The Desk Of The Ocean County Freeholders: Freeholders Raise Awareness About Autism

OCEA N COU N T Y – Noting the number of children diagnosed with autism continues to increase, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders is doing its part to raise awareness by recognizing April as Autism Awareness Month.

“The statistics are compelling,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly.

“We are joining the chorus

OCEA N COU N T Y – The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders is getting ready to ret ur n more than $271,0 0 0 to county municipalities in recycling revenues.

“Recycli ng i n Ocean County continues to provide a host of environmental and economic benef its,” said Freeholder Ger r y P. Lit tle, who serves as liaison to the Ocean Cou nt y De partment of Solid Waste Management. “Under the Recycling Revenue Sharing program we are able to return a portion of the proceeds from recycled materials back to our mu-

of numerous agencies and organizations highlighting the importance of education and raising awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder.”

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a biologically-based disorder that impacts the development and functioning of a person’s verbal and non-verbal communication skills, social interactions and patterns of behavior.

Autism is estimated to affect one in 41 children in New Jersey, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The earlier a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder is identified and connected to services, the sooner services can be provided to ensure the child is able to reach their full potential.

In addition to proclaiming the month of April as

Autism Awareness Month, county government employees participated in the “Light It Up Blue for Autism” campaign, wearing blue to raise awareness.

Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari noted the importance of joining with the state’s Congressional delegation in calling for more and better screenings of young children as well as early intervention for those

children diagnosed with autism.

“A report just issued by the Centers for Disease Control found that New Jersey’s autism rate in children has jumped 12 percent,” Vicari said. “Autism now impacts 1 in every 41 children born in New Jersey.

“As a lifelong educator, I have seen the difference ea rly i nt e r vent ion ca n make,” Vicari said.

County To Distribute Recycling Revenue To Municipalities nicipalities. For the period of July 1 to December.

31, 2015, the amount to be distributed is $271,003.

“Since we began this program in 1995, we have returned more than $15 m illion to ou r tow ns,” he said.

Under the Ocean County Recycling Revenue Sharing program, municipalities are provided a portion of the recycling revenues based on the amount recycled and the market price of the material.

During the second half of 2015, Ocean County collected 42,016 tons of recyclables from its municipalities. The payout

for the period was $6.45 per ton.

“Recycling comes with a host of benefits,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kel l y. “ O n e of t h e greatest benefits is keeping the material out of the landf ill and preser ving the space there.

“As a result of these recycling efforts, municipalities collectively saved almost $3 million in the second half of 2015 by not dumping those materials in the landfill where they would have to pay a tipping fee,” Kelly said.

The amount returned to the towns, under the Recycling Revenue Sharing

program is based on the amount of recyclables collected and brought to the county and the price per commodity in the current market.

“These prices change all the time,” Little said.

“A n d e ve n t h o u g h we have seen a decli ne i n the average price of each commodity we recycle, we are still able to return money to our towns.”

For instance, corrugated cardboard is down $16 per ton to $120 per ton, old newspapers are down $7 per ton to $84 and some plastics have decreased by as much as $125 per ton in comparison to the

same period in 2014.

Little said towns can use the money as needed, although many invest it back into the recycling program.

T he tow ns a nd t he amounts they are scheduled to receive are: Barnegat Township, $9,251; Bar negat Light, $1,141; Bay Head, $834; Beach Haven, $3,556; Beachwo o d , $3,12 6; B e r ke ley Township, $15,302; Brick Township, $33,539; Eagleswood Tow nship, $810; H a r ve y C e d a r s , $1,059; Island Heights, $834; Jackson Township, $16,784; Lacey Township, $12,093; Lakehurst, $942

He added a growing concern is the increasing number of senior citizens who are caring for their autistic adult children.

“As Chairman of Senior Services for Ocean County, I’m calling on our leaders from all levels of government to join forces and find a solution to this challenge,” Vicari said. “The time to act is now. Together we can find a solution.”

Annual GCU Fundraiser Approaches

LAKEWOOD – In 1827, Catherine McAuley, foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, opened the first House of Mercy to shelter and educate women and girls. Mother McAuley’s spirit of compassion and service to others lives on in Sister of Mercy Rosemary E. Jeffries, Ph.D., president emerita of Georgian Court University, and in the work of Meridian Health, one of the region’s largest employers.

The former university president and Meridian Health are the 2016 honorees for Georgian Court University’s annual Golf Classic, which will be held May 16 at Spring Lake Golf Club in Spring Lake Heights. The event benefits Georgian Court scholarships.

“We are pleased to have golfers and other guests join GCU at this outing to benefit deserving college students,” said Joseph R. Marbach, Ph.D., president of Georgian Court University. “For many of our students, donations and support from those who believe in higher education can make a huge difference. We are committed to helping families afford a college education, and donor generosity allows Georgian Court, the only Catholic university serving Central and South Jersey, to deliver a values-based, value added education.”

About 95 percent of GCU students receive scholarships, grants and other financial assistance. Each year, GCU awards more than $12 million in scholarships funded in part by donor contributions. In 2015, the GCU Golf Classic raised upward of $130,000 to benefit students.

Now in its 21st year, the annual Golf Classic recognizes community and corporate contributions of outstanding individuals with the Joseph E. Buckelew Civic Service Award, for which President Emerita Jeffries is the 2016 recipient. Beginning this year, GCU is also establishing a Corporate Service Award.

“I am grateful for the honor and I appreciate that support for this event really helps to make the educational dreams of students a reality,” said President Emerita Jeffries.

President Emerita Jeffries, who led the once-women’s college to the achievement of university status, expanded on Mother McAuley’s original mission with the university’s transition to full coeducation in

2013, noting that she “wanted to strengthen the opportunity for students to receive an education in the Mercy tradition.”

The inaugural corporate recipient is Meridian Health, which partnered with Georgian Court in 2008 to launch the Georgian Court–Meridian Health School of Nursing and establish a B.S.N. nursing degree.

Meridian Health, a leading not-for-profit health care organization in New Jersey, has consistently been rated among the top performing health systems in New Jersey for clinical quality and is the recipient of the national John M. Eisenberg Award for Patient Safety and Quality from The Joint Commission and the National Quality Forum. Meridian is recognized for patient care and nursing excellence, including being the first health system in the country to achieve Magnet recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center at all of its original hospitals.

“Georgian Court University has a special place in my heart,” said John K. Lloyd, president and CEO of Meridian Health. “We are honored that GCU selected Meridian Health as the first recipient of their Corporate Service Award.

“Ever since we formed the Georgian Court–Meridian Health School of Nursing in 2008, Georgian Court has been a trusted and valued partner of ours, and we look forward to continuing that relationship for years to come,” said Lloyd, who was recently named among NJBiz magazine’s Power 50 Health Care honorees.

Online registration is available at georgian. edu/golf. Participants will begin the day with an 11 a.m. BBQ lunch, followed by a noon shotgun start. Cocktails and a silent auction follow at 5:30 p.m., with dinner and a celebratory program at 6:30 p.m.

For more than two decades, GCU’s annual event has drawn business leaders, alumni, faculty, staff and community supporters to local golf courses for a day of fun and fund-raising for student scholarships.

For more information about GCU’s 21st Annual Golf Classic benefiting scholarships, visit georgian.edu/golf or contact Eileen Fedele, GCU advancement coordinator, at 732-987-2232 or fedelee@georgian.edu.

BlueClaws Unveil Walk-Off Wednesday Promotion

LAKEWOOD – BlueClaws Wednesday night games are going to be extra special this year.

Every fan in the ballpark can “walk off a winner” as part of TD Bank’s Walk-Off Wednesday, presented by Appliance Brokers Limited.

This all-new promotion will take place at the five BlueClaws Wednesday night games this year: April 20, June 16, August 17, 24 and 31.

The Walk-Off Wednesday grand prize will be a $10,000 ABL shopping spree should the BlueClaws hit a walk-off home run at any of the aforementioned games. However, there will be plenty of chances to win for all fans throughout the night.

At each of the five Wednesday night home games, one fan will win a grand prize (regardless of whether the BlueClaws win) from one of five partners: Samsung, Whirlpool, Frigidaire/ ElectroLux, Bosch and SubZero/Wolf. Fans can sign up at the ABL table on the concourse behind home plate to register for the free raffle.

On-field actions will provide prize winners as well. Such prizes throughout the year include a

spring training trip in 2017, autographed BlueClaws merchandise, Phillies tickets, concession items and merchandise items.

The BlueClaws will spin a wheel three times throughout the night. The wheel will land on an in-game action: a BlueClaws run, an extra-base hit, batting around in the order or others. If that action happens, a group of fans will win an additional prize.

At all five Walk-Off Wednesday games, the BlueClaws will have Skechers Choose For Shoes, where one fan will walk-off with a new pair of shoes from Skechers. Long Island Iced Tea will also provide a prize pack for select fans at all five Walk-Off Wednesday games.

For tickets to these or any BlueClaws game, call 732-901-7000 option 2.

The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment. They have led the South Atlantic League and New Jersey in attendance in all 15 years of existence.

Opening Day 2016, presented by Jenkinson’s Boardwalk, is April 14 at 6:35 p.m.

Church:

Continued From Page 1

on the zoning board, Thulen said the issue was the church not going through proper channels for its parking and capacity.

At the previous council meeting on March 22, the governing body approved a settlement with the church that included a $237,500 payment, variance relief, and permission to keep operating the church, food pantry, thrift store and youth group at the strip mall.

“This travesty started in 2011,” said Mayor John G. Ducey, when the Board of Adjustment denied an application made

by New Beginnings Church that was not made on compelling state interest, which is necessary to deny an application before the Board of Adjustment.

The church owned two properties in two different names and they were asking the Board to combine them so they could use the parking lot on both of those properties, Ducey said.

If the denial had been done correctly it

would have stood and it would have moved on, but instead, the board, and a former councilman “showed open hostility” and “outrageous behavior towards a religious institution,” he said.

According to the complaint filed in November 2013 by Storzer & Greene ‑‑ a law firm that specializes in representing religious organizations ‑‑ the former Board of Adjustment Chairman showed his bias by calling the church’s attorney ignorant; saying the Board wanted the food pantry there but not the church; and he tried to persuade the church to buy property owned by an entity he was a board member of, Ducey said.

Although the mayor did not mention Thulen by name, he said that a former councilman made inflammatory statements.

The Board’s reason for denial was it would create a very difficult situation for the township, Ducey said.

“There was no basis for that denial, nothing to show what situation the township would have difficulty with, so within reason it is clear there was bias involved

and...this bias led to the settlement that included an approval of the site as well as a monetary settlement,” he said.

The good news is the township’s insurance company would be paying the $237,500 and it would not be coming out of the township coffers, Ducey said.

“It was unnecessary, but unfortunately the actions of Board members and the Board itself put us in this situation,” he added.

Thulen was not at the March 22 council meeting, but at the April 5 meeting he came before the governing body during public comment “to continue the conversation you had two weeks ago regarding New Beginnings Church,” he said.

He said that although Mayor Ducey did not identify him by name, the complaint filed by New Beginnings Church had specifically identified him.

“Every lawyer knows that a complaint can say anything it wants, because I didn’t say any of those things,” Thulen said.

He said the issue with New Beginnings Church has always been overuse of the property and making renovations and

improvements there without going to the zoning board.

“A zoning officer went over and told them...they were supposed to go in front of the zoning board if they were going to do any further work,” he said.

In 2000 the Teen Center opened and they had approval of occupancy for 100 people with a maximum of 199. When representatives from the church came to the Board of Adjustment for approvals in 2008-09, they had been using 250 seats, Thulen said.

“The church was not in compliance, over and over again, and they’re doing it again now,” he said.

“That’s the problem, folks: I have no problem with anyone’s religion. I’ll listen to anybody about anything. The issue has always been about overuse of this property, and it’s still being overused and they will continue to overuse.”

Council President Paul Mummolo cautioned Council members not to comment on the lawsuit.

“It’s a subject that’s been resolved,” he said.

My Ear Hurts!

Comfort is very important when wearing your hearing aid(s). Discomfort occurs 10 percent of the time and usually happens when trying to remove your hearing instrument from your ear.

In most cases, in-the-ear hearing aids (ITEs) and ear molds for behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTEs) can create a sore ear (usually towards the top of the aid or ear mold).

When this happens, do not continue to wear the instrument. It’s not like breaking in a new pair of shoes! The next step is to contact your hearing health-care professional who can assess the problem. The majority of problems occur due to a “tight fit” and can be resolved by either grinding the mold/aid or remaking the entire hearing instrument or ear mold.

Most hearing healthcare professionals can eliminate the problem by grinding and then buffing the problem area. You will be advised to wear the hearing instrument to “test drive” the modification.

If this is unsuccessful, you should return to the office and have the aid and/or ear mold remade by the manufacturer. Remind the audiologist/ dispenser to mark the area of soreness with a black marker to further reduce the risk of soreness reoccurring.

Remember, if your ear hurts don’t try to get used to it. You have invested a lot of time and money towards better hearing.

Contact your hearing health-care professional immediately who will fix the problem.

Come On Baby, Light My Fire

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

There’s plenty of ways to say you’re not feeling frisky enough for sex, however, using excuse after excuse could be a sign of bigger hormonal problems, which I can help you with today. Over 40 percent of adult women experience low libido, and I think that’s underreported. It’s those “blue diamonds” that men want, meaning Viagra. But they don’t often stop and think, “Does my girl want to do this too?” I mean, it looks so mutual in the commercials doesn’t it? But ladies, what if you don’t feel frisky and your man is revved up on Viagra?

Ask yourself, do you take any medications? These can be a factor in crushing Cupid. Drugs that treat hypertension and depression can squash libido in a women in about two weeks flat. Estrogen medications namely birth control pills, patches and shots can do it too. Ironic as it sounds, these drugs damage you by reducing otherwise healthy levels of testosterone, the hormone that ignites libido in both men and women.

As a pharmacist, I saw this time and time again … a woman taking birth control for six months and then suddenly there’s no interest in sex, and worse, she has to start thyroid medicine and/or antidepressants.

It’s from the “drug mugger” effect on testosterone, as well as minerals that support thyroid and mood. This is a known fact.

Everything I just said could be applied to estrogen-containing medications (creams, pills and patches) that are used for menopause. And menopause itself can make sex uncomfortable due to vaginal dryness.

Another factor is pregnancy and breastfeeding. The surge in hormones during this

time in life can fluctuate drastically.

One minute you are laughing and happy, the next minute you are a puddle of a mess in tears and want to curl up with a magazine instead of your man.

Here’s how you can get your va-vavavoom back: DHEA – Improving levels of “the fountain of youth” hormone can help with libido by increasing testosterone levels. A study confirms that DHEA supplementation in peri- and postmenopausal women improved sexual function.

Yoga – Only in women 45 years and older, after 12 weeks of yoga, participants noted significant improvement in the areas of desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain.

Ashwagandha – This thyroid-loving herb also increases DHEA, which goes on to amplify your testosterone levels. The aphrodisiac effect usually requires a dosage somewhere between 100 to 500 mg/day.

Dark Chocolate – My friend literally hides her chocolate in the freezer and takes a few bites in between tucking her kids in bed and tucking her hubby in next. Chocolate stimulates more dopamine a.k.a. “the love chemical.” Researchers who studied female libido concluded that women who consumed more dark chocolate enjoyed greater sexual satisfaction than women who did not eat chocolate. Mmm. Ladies, I will think nothing of it if I bump into you in the chocolate aisle, wearing a big hat, sunglasses and a black trench coat.

Alzheimer’s Disease and Physical Therapy

By Elise Pavlick, DPT

WHAT IS ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE? Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting one in eight Americans over the age of 65. Dementia is a general term for a variety of conditions that develop as a result of malfunctioning nerve cells in the brain. Research has shown that individuals with Alzheimer’s disease tend to develop abnormal structures in the brain, called plaques and tangles, that block communication between nerve cells in the brain and body. Plaques build up in the spaces in between nerve cells, and consist of a protein called beta-amyloid.

Tangles are described as a collection of twisted fibers made from a different protein, called tau, that develop inside nerve cells rather than in between them. Because the nerve cells are unable to work properly, individuals can experience a variety of cognitive, behavioral, and physical symptoms. Alzheimer’s disease is progressive, meaning that is worsens over time, and although there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, medication and physical activity can be helpful in slowing its progression.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS? The most common symptom of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease is difficulty remembering newly learned information. As we age, it is common to experience occasional memory loss or slowed thinking; however, serious memory difficulties and confusion are signs that the brain is not working exactly as it should.

As the disease progresses, individuals tend to experience mood and behavior changes, increased confusion about time and place, disorientation, and difficulty responding to the demands in their environment. Physical symptoms accompany cognitive changes, particularly muscle disuse, difficulty walking, negotiating turns and obstacles, and loss of balance.

HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP? The physical symptoms mentioned above ultimately increase an individual’s risk of falling, which can possibly lead to serious injury. Research has shown the importance of physical activity for overall well-being. During a physical therapy evaluation, a licensed physical therapist evaluates various components of the body in order to determine impairments that may be contributing to a patient’s symptoms. From there, an individualized exercise program is

created to meet the specific needs of each patient. A supervised exercise program, with the goal of increasing muscle strength and improving balance, will ultimately lead to improved safety awareness and decrease a patient’s fall risk. The following are important aspects that are addressed in each exercise program, as deemed appropriate by a physical therapist: - Strength and Flexibility As Alzheimer’s disease progresses, individuals tend to become more sedentary, which leads to muscles becoming weak and tight. This is predominantly true for the muscles of the hips and legs. The lower extremity muscles are very important for standing and walking, so as they become weak, it becomes particularly difficult to perform daily tasks and ambulate, or walk around. Physical therapy can help break this cycle by developing a safe strengthening and flexibility program to improve muscle performance. As an individual’s strength starts to improve, exercises may be altered or advanced to further maximize strength gains.

- Gait Training In addition to developing an exercise program, a physical therapist will evaluate and determine the most appropriate assistive device for each patient in order to provide safe ambulation. The most common assistive devices are rolling walkers, single point canes, and quad canes. The physical therapist will educate and train the patient on how to correctly use his/her assistive device during ambulation.

If unsafe ambulation is identified during the initial evaluation, subsequent treatment sessions will consist of gait training, in order to maximize safety awareness. As quality of gait improves, the patient will be challenged to negotiate obstacles and ambulate on various surfaces, in order to simulate real life situations. Continued practice will eventually lead to improved safety awareness during community ambulation and while performing daily tasks.

- Balance Along with safe ambulation, balance is by far one of the most important aspects of minimizing an individual’s fall risk. Balance can be divided into two components: static and dynamic. Static balance refers to an individual’s ability to maintain balance while in a still position, whether that be while seated or standing. Dynamic balance refers to maintaining balance while moving. Both static and dynamic balance are addressed during physical therapy by

simulating tasks that individual’s experience in their daily lives. These tasks include reaching, stepping onto and off of various pliable surfaces, and negotiating obstacles while walking. This is a great opportunity to not only challenge balance, but also memory, as the patient will need to follow directions and remember multi-step commands. By challenging balance in various ways, the body is better able to adapt and learn how to respond safely and appropriately during real life situations.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU FINISH PHYSICAL THERAPY? All of the factors addressed during physical therapy work together to improve overall function and safety.

Once an individual has achieved his/her goals and is ready to be discharged, the physical therapist will provide the patient with a home exercise program so that the gains made during physical therapy can be maintained. Physical therapy can provide the tools for success, however it is up to the individual to use the information he/she has learned to continue to maximize safety and functional mobility!

NJAW Recommends Steps To Reduce Lead Exposure

NEW JERSEY – New Jersey American Water regularly tests for lead in drinking water and has taken steps to minimize levels through improvements in corrosion control.

Although these tests indicate that lead is not an issue in the treated water leaving their facility, lead and/or copper levels in some homes and businesses might be detected due to customer use of lead pipes, lead solder and molded metal faucets in household plumbing.

There are health effects associated with high levels of lead. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets standards related to lead in drinking water. Lead levels that exceed these standards could cause serious damage to the brain, kidneys, nervous system and red blood cells. The greatest risk, even with short-term exposure, is to young children and pregnant women.

Lead levels in drinking water are more likely to be higher if: your home or water system has lead pipes or has a lead service line, your home has copper pipes with lead solder and if your home was built before 1986 and you have soft or acidic water or water sits in the pipes for several hours.

You cannot see, smell or taste lead and boiling water will not remove lead. Although their water is treated to minimize the risk of lead, you can reduce your household’s exposure to lead in drinking water by following these simple steps: Flush your tap before drinking or cooking with water, if the water in the faucet has gone unused for more than six hours.

The longer the water lies dormant in your home’s plumbing, the more lead it might

contain. Flush your tap with cold water for 30 seconds to two minutes before using. To conserve water, catch the running water and use it to water your plants.

Try not to cook with or drink water from the hot water faucet. Hot water has the potential to contain more lead than cold water. When you need hot water, heat cold water on the stove or in the microwave.

Remove loose lead solder and debris from plumbing. In newly-constructed homes or homes in which the plumbing was recently replaced, remove the strainers from each faucet and run the water for three to five minutes. When replacing or working on pipes, be sure to use materials that are lead-free. Use of lead-based solders has been banned.

Look for the “Lead Free” label. When replacing or installing fixtures, look for the “lead free” label. Under the 2011 Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act, fixtures must have 0.25 percent lead or less to be considered “lead free.”

If you are still concerned about elevated levels and want to find out where you can have your water tested by a certified laboratory, contact the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Act Hotline at 800-426-4791 or visit the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s website at state.nj.us/dep.

For more information, contact New Jersey American Water Customer Service Center at 800-272-1325, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. or visit newjerseyamwater.com For more information on drinking water standards, contact the EPA Hotline at 800426-4791.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Doctor, Can You Tell Me

Dear Joel, My wife is seeing a psychiatrist and I know that much of what she talks about is about me and our marriage. I’ve called her doctor because I believe that much of what she is telling the doctor is simply not true. I asked to meet with the psychiatrist and he told me that he will not speak with me. Is this legal?

Answer: Although there may be certain exceptions, what he is telling you is absolutely true (and very legal).

The conversations between your wife and her therapist are confidential and entirely between the two of them. If your wife is not

being truthful with her do ct or, it will eventually (hopefully) come out in their work.

This is between her and the doctor and your intervening helps no one. I know how frustrating this is for you, but I commend her for seeking help. I’d suggest you suppor t her going, rather than challenge her on whatever it is that she is telling him about. I wish you well.

Questions for Joel?

The World Series Of Birding

NEW JERSEY – Mark your calendars and start planning your strategy for this year’s world series of birding on May 14 – rain or shine.

Many great birders have raised glasses in the World Series of Birding. The first official World Series of Birding began at midnight on May 19, 1984, when just 13 teams set out on a 24-hour treasure hunt. Their mission was to tally as many species of birds by sight or sound as possible. Their objective was to raise money for their favorite env i ron ment al cau se, a nd to focu s worldwide attention upon the habitat needs of migrating birds.

Today there are thousands of participants, including donors and support team members, in the event and it has grown into several categories and ways to play.

The Bird Conservation Challenge is Level I and is for competing teams who vie for awards in several categories.

The NJ Audubon Ambassador Challenge is Level II and is for non-competing teams.

The Zeiss Youth Challenge is Level III and is for ages 6 to 18 within their respective youth groups.

The Senior Challenge is Level IV and is for ages 60 and over.

Why a World Series of Birding? Over the past 30-plus years, this event has changed the birding landscape, has brought birding to the attention of the media and has raised close to $9 million for bird conservation.

The New Jersey Audubon’s World

Ser ies of Bi rdi ng is organ ized and hosted by New Jersey Audubon, an independent, membership suppor ted organization. The event is endorsed by the American Birding Association, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology and sponsored by numerous environmental, conser vation-minded businesses and individuals.

For those raising money for New Jersey Audubon, it’s easy. Register, create your web page and your supporters can pledge and/or pay online right through the website.

The World Series of Birding is a competitive “Big Day.” Teams have up to 24 hours to count as many bird species as they can identify by sight or sound within the state of New Jersey. Each species seen or heard counts as one.

The organization lays the g rou nd work, gives you the playing field and the rules to follow. The rest is up to you. Read all the information in the Rules/Forms tab of worldseriesof birding.org.

This year, New Jersey Audubon is introducing a new phone app, which can be used on both iPhones and Android phones. Teams will be able to submit their sightings throughout the day, and then submit their f inal list from their phones. Via the app, various species will be “f lagged” for time and location, and the rules for rarities (aka “write-ins”) will still apply and can be submitted via the app. Only registered teams will be able to test the app ahead of the World Series of Birding.

New Additions To BlueClaws Games' Amenities

LAKEWOOD – A makeover of the FirstEnergy Park audio system, new concession items and the Chick-fil-A Fowl Poles highlight the upgrades and improvements fans will notice when they come to FirstEnergy Park this year.

The audio upgrade, which has been completed, means that the public-address system, including music, announcements and more, will be much clearer for fans from any location in the ballpark.

“This was an upgrade that we are very excited to make,” said BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow. “I think the fans will immediately notice the difference as soon as they walk through the gates. It will certainly complement the new video board installed last year.”

Prior to the 2015 season, the BlueClaws added a brand-new, state-of-the-art, 54’ x 37’ video board, which is more than four times the square-footage of the previous video board.

One new food item that fans can enjoy is pork roll deep-fried in funnel cake batter topped with chocolate syrup and whipped cream.

“Pork Roll is a staple at the Jersey Shore and we wanted a new staple item for our fans,” said Mike Barry, the BlueClaws director of food and beverage. “We think this will be a great addition to the menu!”

Fans can also enjoy thick-cut bacon dipped in chocolate then fried in funnel cake batter. Both the deep-fried bacon and pork roll are only available at the Funnel Cake Stand on the third base concourse.

The BlueClaws added a pork roll, egg and cheeseburger last season - pork roll, eggs and a half-pound cheeseburger on a roll available on the concourse behind home plate.

Crab cakes from Brandl’s of Belmar will now be available in the FirstEnergy Park concession stands. Charlie’s Pizza and Tuscan House will return to the Asbury Park Press Food Court down the right field line. Meatheads Subs will again have their truck on the first base concourse.

The two ballpark foul poles are now “Fowl Poles,” thanks to Chick-fil-A. If any BlueClaws player hits a home run off either of the two Fowl Poles, every fan in the ballpark will be able to bring their ticket to the Chick-fil-A locations

“Arsenic and Old Lace” At Robert Anstett Center

BRICK – The Guild Theatre Works presents “Arsenic and Old Lace” at the Robert Anstett Cultural Arts Center located at 515 Herbertsville Road. Show dates are April 22, 23, 29 and 30 at 7 p.m. and April 24 and May 1 at 2 p.m.

Call 732-262-1006 to reserve a seat. A donation of $5 is requested. Don’t miss out on seeing this farcical dark comedy.

BRICKTOWNONLINE.COM Information for Residents, 24/7 Exposure for Local Businesses

in Monmouth Mall, Freehold Raceway Mall, Brick or Howell for a free Chickfil-A Chicken Sandwich.

There is also a new Wednesday promotion presented by Appliance Brokers Limited. The promotion takes place at the five BlueClaws Wednesday night games - April 20, June 15, August 17, 24 and 31. If the BlueClaws hit a walk-off home run at any of those five games, one fan wins a $10,000 ABL shopping spree.

There will be additional prizes throughout the night from various BlueClaws partners, and one fan will walk home with a high-end appliance courtesy of ABL and their five vendors – Whirlpool, Sub-Zero Wolf, Bosch, Samsung and Electrolux/Frigidaire. Additional prizes will come from on-field actions and a scoreboard prize wheel.

Fans can now get single-game tickets to the new Diamond Deck on the Luxury Suite Level. Diamond Deck seats are exclusive stadium-style seats that overlook the field from Suite Level adjacent to the Press Box. Seating each night in the Diamond Deck includes wait service, access to the Upstairs Club bar and a second-level panoramic view of the game.

Multi-game and season ticket packages are also available.

One on-field change that fans will notice is the removal of the “home run line” atop the chain-link fences above the padded outfield walls. In previous years, for a ball to be a home run, it would need to clear both the eight foot padded wall and four foot chain link fence. Beginning this year, any ball off the chain link fence is a home run, so a ball only needs to clear the eight foot padded wall.

Tickets to all BlueClaws home games, as well as ticket packages and group outings, are currently on sale for the 2016 season. Call 732-901-7000 option 2 for the box office or option 3 for ticket plans and group outings, or log on to BlueClaws.com.

The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment. They have led the South Atlantic League in attendance in all 15 years of existence.

NEW INSIGHT INTO KERATOCONUS

“Keratoconus” is a progressive eye disease that causes the normally round cornea to weaken and begin to bulge into a cone-like shape. As a result, keratoconus sufferers experience visual distortions such as ghosting, multiple images, glare, halos, starbursts around lights, and blurred vision. While new treatment options for keratoconus have emerged over the past decade, many people are not diagnosed early enough to take full advantage of them. This led researchers to look at data from health insurance claims, half of which involved patients with keratoconus and half with similar symptoms. They found that men, African-Americans, and Latinos, as well as people with asthma, sleep apnea, or Down syndrome have much higher odds of developing keratoconus and should be screened.

If you have any questions about keratoconus or would like further information, call us at 732-349-5622. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., we are educated, trained, and licensed total eye care includes performing comprehensive medical eye examinations, prescribing corrective lenses, diagnosing injuries and disorders of the eye, and using the appropriate medical and surgical procedures necessary for treatment.

Injured At Work?

Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & 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’ compensat ion clai ms. A n i nsu rer 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 C o m p e n s a t io n Ac t . T h i s b e n ef it protects employees from collections lawsuits when the employee obtains me d ic a l t r e at me nt t h at h a s b e e n wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benef it was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Cour t 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.

Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

The Brick Times, April 16, 2016, Page 27 For the week of April 16 - April 22

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. Your financial outlook may seem to be on the upswing but you still cannot afford to be wasteful. Study your options carefully in the week ahead and reevaluate existing investments.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Rock the romance. In the upcoming week you may be more outgoing about expressing your affection.

You may be preoccupied by fancies and fantasies and miss the facts when your wallet is concerned.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can swim with the dolphins or fly with the eagles. Don’t let family members or a situation at home limit your freedom during the week to come. Wishful thinking is only worthwhile when wishes come true.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): This week you will find that the pen is truly mightier than the sword. You’ll find the words that will help you get your way with ease. You can talk your way through any situation. Friends may add fuel to your fire.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Use a magnifying glass to read the fine print. You could achieve a higher level of intimacy with a loved one during the week ahead, but your tendency to see what you want to see could cause you to lose money.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Speak your mind. Tell everybody exactly how you feel.

During the week to come, when pressed for an opinion, don’t be concerned with sparing someone’s feelings; give your complete and honest view of a situation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sail the salty seas of imagination. Throw caution to the

wind and explore your adventurous side in the week ahead. Vision and enthusiasm can lead to great ideas and could yield vast benefits for your future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The little things mean a lot. You may win recognition this week if you go out of your way to be kind to someone. You’ll help someone far more by telling them the truth rather than letting build up with false hopes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take your medicine. Sometimes it isn’t whether you receive a winning hand but if you can play a bad hand well. Make it your business to accept your lessons with good grace during the week to come.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be so practical that you forget to be pertinent. Be generous with those around you this week. Generosity isn’t always about money. A kind word, a pat on the back or a smile works. A positive attitude is contagious.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t shake the tree unless you can predict what will fall out. You may have an urge to shake things up this week by trying something different or making a drastic change. Explain your reasoning to loved ones.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Communication is the key to success. Engage in stimulating conversations to gain insights and intimate details that will bring you closer to a valuable goal. Keep your promises and charm your way to the top this week. (c) 2016 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

Two Nonprofit Organizations Combine Resources

NEW JERSEY – Mary’s Place by the Sea, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting women who are receiving treatment for cancer, announced that they will be partnering with A Time for ME, a nonprofit organization that has provided spa retreats to women battling cancer for the last 22 years. Both service-driven and compassionate nonprofit organizations plan to serve women with cancer under one roof by offering women a place to heal their mind, body and soul.

With this new joint venture, the organizations are looking to expand their services. Handson cooking classes and nutritional sessions, along with mental health counselors from local universities will be available for regular workshops and group meetings. Combining resources will provide a stronger, more viable organization that will be able to do more for guests, while honoring the integrity of their missions and recognizing the hard work of all volunteers – past, present and future.

“At this juncture, we have decided that our combined resources will truly be in the best interest of the women we serve. It is a perfect fit and our natural next step,” said Patty O’Neil, executive director of A Time for ME. “Mary’s Place and A Time for ME will be a powerful combination when our two hearts come together as one.”

Seven years ago, Michele Gannon and Maria McKeon founded Mary’s Place by the Sea and have since welcomed over 5,000 women from across the nation into their beachfront home.

Mary’s Place by the Sea supports women with

cancer through integrative services, which complement their medical treatment and empower, educate and support their healing: mind, body and soul. The demand for respite care and emotional healing expanded so drastically that Mary’s Place by The Sea had outgrown its former four-bedroom home. It began construction in 2014 and will open a new 10-bedroom, ADA-compliant home this spring in order to accommodate the needs of more women locally and nationwide.

“We are beyond grateful for the women of A Time for ME for their generosity and confidence in our program at Mary’s Place by the Sea,” said Michele Gannon, president of Mary’s Place by the Sea. “Our missions are both built on caring for women “holistically” and meeting their emotional needs. We look forward to combining our passions and resources to be able to help many more women in need.”

A Time for ME aims to provide women diagnosed with cancer, living in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, a respite from their disease where they can recharge and focus on a positive tomorrow. They do this by providing a three day retreat at a spa resort where they can recharge, focus on a positive tomorrow and focus on recovery.

Moving forward, A Time for ME has asked that all donations be directed to Mary’s Place by the Sea. If you would like to volunteer or make a donation to this mission assisting women impacted by cancer, contact 732-455-5344 or visit marysplacebythesea.org.

Simplicity Is The Key To Cooking A World-Famous Pasta Dish

By Wolfgang Puck

It always delights me how some of the world’s greatest recipes are also the simplest. Start with just a few high-quality ingredients, cook them in a way that highlights their natural qualities and serve them with just a little imagination, and it’s very possible that the result will be something that everyone finds amazing.

Take, for example, the widely loved pasta dish fettuccine Alfredo. The dish has been around, at least in name, for over a hundred years. It was originally invented by a Roman restaurateur named Alfredo di Lelio for a place his mother owned; and he then went on to open his own ristorante Alfredo in 1914. Word spread of the amazing dish, and soon the popular recipe spread to other restaurants, too, as more and more people tasted it and talked about it.

Yet, such a fundamental pasta dish couldn’t have come about spontaneously like that. In fact, you can find the recipe’s humbler ancestry stretching back hundreds of years to dishes of pasta tossed with butter or cream and Parmesan. Many people, myself included, sometimes like to make themselves quick pasta dishes just that way, tossing the hot cooked noodles with butter and then adding lots of freshly grated cheese. The Alfredo version simply amps up the richness.

When you’re preparing something with so few ingredients, it’s important to pay attention to the small details. That starts with the ingredients themselves. Though many people say the recipe is best with fresh pasta, I think too many people overcook fresh noodles, so I recommend using dried pasta instead.

Beyond that, timing is also impor tant. Have the cream heated and ready when you boil the pasta.

Quickly whisk the beaten egg yolks, which helps thicken the sauce, into the hot cream so they won’t curdle; then add the pasta as soon as it’s drained, tossing the noodles continuously to keep them separate and coat them all. I also make sure to reserve some of the cooking water when I drain the pasta, having it ready to stir in if the sauce gets too thick. Some fresh herbs - plus extra Parmesan, of course - are all the garnish you need.

And there you have it! A handful of

ingredients, no more than about 15 minutes of cooking time and a dish everyone you serve it to will rave about. Great cooking just doesn’t get any easier.

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO Serves 4 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream Kosher salt 3/4 pound (380 g) dried fettuccine Freshly ground black pepper 4 large cage-free egg yolks, lightly beaten 3/4 cup (185 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving chopped fresh chives, for garnish chopped fresh Italian parsley, for garnish Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.

When the water is coming to a boil, put the cream in a large saute pan. Bring the cream to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wire whisk. Reduce the heat to its lowest setting.

As soon as the water comes to a full rolling boil, add some salt. Add the dried fettuccine to the boiling water and cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. With a heatproof glass measu r ing cup, caref ully scoop up and reserve some of the cooking water. Drain the pasta in a colander and bring it close to the pan of cream.

Turn off the heat under the cream and season generously with freshly ground black pepper and a little salt. While whisking constantly, add the beaten egg yolks. Immediately add the drained fettuccine, still dripping, and the 3/4 cup (185 mL) grated Parmesan. With tongs, gently turn the pasta until the sauce thickens and coats all the strands, 30 seconds to 1 minute. If the sauce seems to be getting too thick too quickly, stir in some of the reserved cooking water. Stir in a little more Parmesan and black pepper to taste.

Serve the pasta as soon as it is coated with the sauce. Using a long two-pronged fork or tongs, twirl up portions of the fettuccine and arrange them on heated serving plates. Top with f reshly g rated Parmesan, then garnish with chives and parsley. Serve immediately.
