Honoring Those Missing In Action
MANCHESTER – Feral cats will no longer be trapped and euthanized in Manchester Township. The township council passed an ordinance at the end of March that now requires feral cats be trapped, neutered, and returned (TNR) to its habitat. The administration said that while residents want feral cat populations controlled, they preferred TNR to euthanasia. The New Jersey Department of Health, Office of Animal Welfare, defines feral cats as “domestic animal species living in an unsocialized or wild state; they are one or more generations removed from a home environment. Feral cats may live in a group or “colony”, usually in an area where they find food and shelter.” The Office differentiates between feral and “free-roaming” cats, which are “not necessarily considered to be feral, but which frequently roam outdoors and interact with feral cats and wildlife. They may be “outdoor cats” with a specific owner, stray pets, feral, or may have originated in one household and are now fed or cared for by other households in the neighborhood.”

By Catherine Galioto MANCHESTER – The latest municipality to install a chair of honor, also known as a Missing Man chair, is Manchester Township, who will now keep
the symbolic display in place to honor those soldiers who have gone missing in action or have yet to come home. The ceremony was held in (Action - See Page 5)

Council Tables Ordinance Regulating Flying Drones
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Rather than move forward and adopt an ordinance regulating drones in town, the Manchester Township Council tabled its ordinance at the suggestion of township attorney Angela Koutsouris. She said the feedback from the public has been both positive and negative about the proposed regulations. While safety is a concern, other residents who fly drones and other recreational small aircraft complained about the restrictions, as well as the lack of a public space in town for persons to fly their craft.

She asked that more of the public have an opportunity to discuss it, and the Council will hold a workshop on the topic at 6 p.m. May 9 at its regular council meeting. Gavin Rozzi, editor and publisher of Ocean County Politics takes professional aerial photos using his drone. He bristled against the possibility of Council placing local restrictions on drones, saying the Federal Aviation Administration already has regulations,

and that further restrictions will only punish otherwise responsible drone users. Although not a Manchester resident, he and other drone owners fly their drones outside their municipalities. One issue raised repeatedly was enforcement. How can the police department enforce laws regarding drones, whether local, state or federal, and what should the penalty be for those who break the law? Koutsouris said the general code calls for a $2,000 fine. Council will mull whether to
Cats:

The health department said it is free-roaming cats that cause the over-population of the animals, with most unsterilized and breeding near places of water, food, and shelter, and also responsible for the killing of birds and other small animals. The Office estimates there are 70 million free-roaming cats throughout the United States. While the state neither endorses nor

“If we’re having the Manchester Day out there, that we don’t have drones flying overhead and that we have a way to stop them,” Wallis said at a previous council meeting. “They’re flying these things over a lot of people. The one down there [in Seaside Heights] just shows, they’re going to fall out of the sky, and somebody is going to get hurt. I just want to make sure that we can control them.” He did reiterate that he’s not seeking to ban people from flying drones over their own private property. Councilman Brendan Weiner, who said he teaches a class on drone technology at
Monmouth University, wants to know if Manchester indeed needs its own ordinance regulating drones since the FAA does regulate them. Drones, or “unmanned aerial vehicles” or “unmanned aircraft systems,” are federally regulated. In addition to flying below 400 feet, drones must be kept in visual line of sight at all times, not interfere with manned aircraft operations and not fly within 5 miles of an airport. Private recreational drones must also not be flown near people or stadiums and must weigh less than 55 pounds. Anyone wishing to fly a drone outside those perimeters must register with the FAA.
opposes TNR programs, it suggests municipalities establishing such a program put guidelines in place, such as public education about cats, strong animal control, cat licensing and mandatory rabies shots, establishing cat colony areas, and prohibiting the feeding of feral cats. In Manchester, 600 cats have been trapped and euthanized. The update to its code on cats establishes a TNR program, with a sunset provision of Dec. 31, 2018, at which time the program will be reevaluated, tweaked, or terminated.
The ordinance does not state the cost of the program or where the funds to pay for the program will come from, only that Council may establish a fund to provide for the trapping, neutering and vaccinating of the cats. Under the new provisions, caregivers of a feral cat colony must register that colony with the township. Those caregivers must attempt to have sterilized and vaccinated all the cats of a colony, and keep records of the colony. Colony cats must be marked, preferably with an electronic animal iden-
tification device (EAID). Should kittens be born in a colony, the caregiver must, after those kittens are weaned, seek foster or permanent homes for those kittens. The municipal animal control officer must provide training to a caregiver and resolve any complaints associated with the colony. The township retains the right to seize any cat causing a public nuisance or is diseased. Anyone found violating any provision of the ordinance can face fines of $500 per violation or 90 days in jail.

keep that or not. These questions and others will be wrestled with at the workshop session. While federal regulations ban recreational drones from flying above 400 feet, the proposed but tabled ordinance would have banned drones from flying below 400 feet except over private property. The ordinance made exceptions for law enforcement and other official government entities. The issue of regulating drones came up after Councilman Craig Wallis, while attending this year’s Polar Bear Plunge in Seaside Heights, said he witnessed a drone fall from the sky and injure onlookers.

The Manchester Times, April 16, 2016, Page 5 91,000 United States service members missing since World War I. The unveiling was about raising awareness, Webster said. “Today’s ceremony speaks for them,” he said. The Chair of Honor is a simple yet powerful reminder of the thousands of service members who remain unaccounted for. Manchester has a significant population of veterans, said Mayor Ken Palmer, making the symbolism even more poignant. “It’s a privilege for us to place this Chair of Honor in our Town Hall,” said Mayor Palmer. Jackson Township recently installed a similar display with its own poignant ceremony. There, the chair of honor also serves as a reminder in the town hall building.
There was also a neighborhood meeting at the Manchester Firehouse on Commonwealth Blvd. on April 14 geared toward the residents of Holly Oaks, Pine Lake Park, Summit Park, and the neighborhoods of eastern Manchester. The meetings are a continuation of those conducted within senior villages throughout the township each year.

“Ocean County is home to the largest senior population in the state,” Vicari noted. “With more than 160,000 seniors calling Ocean County home, it’s a priority of the Board of Freeholders to provide them with programs and services that will help them remain independent so they can enjoy a good quality of life here.” The resource directory provides at a glance senior services programs, and contact information as well as a service index. “This directory is a great tool to refer to when looking for programs and services,” Vicari said. “I would recommend it to our seniors and also their caregivers.” Some services featured within the resource directory are the PAAD Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled, educational programs such as adult education classes at Ocean County Vocational Technical schools and Ocean County College, Toms River, employment assistance such as the Senior Employment program, health services such as the Ocean County Health Department among others, counseling such as the Senior Guidance program, hospital locations, insurance in regards to Medicare, senior, community and recreation centers found in Ocean County and transportation such as Ocean Ride. “The resource directory can be accessed online, or mailed to anyone requesting it,” Vicari said.

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 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 or 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

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. Lee H. Hamilton Former U.S. Congressman

safe service for its customers. This includes investing in infrastructure like the pipeline connecting to Manchester utility’s system without shifting that burden to the ratepayer. “Once again, I respectfully request that the BPU address these concerns and oppose this rate increase

bills that reflect conservative principles. Wolfe and McGuckin were named “Taxpayer Defenders” by Americans for Prosperity (AFP) for their pro-taxpayer votes on dozens of critical bills in the New Jersey Assembly. The
American Conser vative Union Foundation also recognized the 10th Legislative District lawmakers for their work in supporting bills that ref lect conservative principles. “It’s extremely difficult for families to make ends meet
because New Jersey has become so unaffordable,” said Wolfe. “For years, our taxpayers have been used as piggy banks. Greg and I understand the negative effect this has had on our residents and economy. Our priority has always been to
reduce the cost and size of government and we will continue those efforts.” “We are committed to opposing measures that drive up the cost of government and burden taxpayers with higher tax bills,” said McGuckin. “We have made it
Freeholders Call On Comcast & YES Network To Play Ball
The resolution also called on Comcast to reimburse subscribers for each day of t he Y ES Net work Blackout. “Comcast clai ms t he YES Network costs too much, yet have been payi ng for it all along. If they aren’t paying for it now they should pass that savings on to their customers,” said Kelly, who is also director of law and public safety. This is the second effort the Freeholders have made to return Yankees games to cable television. In early March, the Freeholders sent a letter to the state Board of Public Utilities asking it to intervene in the dispute. Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little said Comcast should at least offer the YES Network as part of an optional sports
channel package. “Comcast claims Ocean County fans aren’t interested in Yankees games,” he said. “They should let thei r customers decide whether or not they want to watch the games.” Little added that Comcast’s channel lineup is cluttered with many other stations that likely have much less appeal to local viewers. Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari said watching baseball and other sports is a quality of life issue, and is especially important to senior citizens. “I know many seniors who watch sports every night.” he said. “It’s entertainment that they should not be deprived of because of corporate greed.” Vicari said some towns have already begun pet it ion s d e m a nd i ng t he
ga me s r et u r n t o cable television. According to published repor ts, Comcast executives have argued that Yankees games are little watched among their customers and Ocean County is not in the core New York region, an excuse
that Freeholder Virginia E. Haines took exception to. “Ocean County is filled with Yankees fans,” she said. “After Toms River East won the 1998 Little League World Series, their players celebrated on the f ield in Yan kee

MTMS Students Plant Dune Grass At Island Beach
–Photos courtesy Manchester Township Middle School Seventh graders from Manche ster Tow nsh ip M idd le School planted over 8,000 dune grass plugs at Island Beach State Park. MANCHESTER – The seventh grade classes from Manchester Township Middle School took a field trip to Island Beach State Park to help with beach revitalization, thanks to a grant from the Manchester Township Educational Foundation (MTEF). Despite the frigid temperatures and wind gusts on the unusually cold April day, science teacher Kristine LaPorte said that the students were able to plant over 8,000 dune grass plugs with the hope that they will thrive and stabilize the dunes on the barrier island. Students were also able to
conduct a ‘beach sweep’ and collect various debris that had washed up on shore. Items collected included balloons, plastic hangers, a fishing pole, pieces of plastic and lumber. “The students did an amazing job performing this community service and will be able to connect their experience to their lessons in the classroom,” said LaPorte. LaPorte and fellow science teacher Susan Morgan applied for and won the $1,010 grant from MTEF earlier this year.

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, inthe-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.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist
MIGRAINE PAIN?
Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
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 which 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.

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 doctor, it will eventual-
ly (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 support her going, rather than challenge her on whatever it is that she is telling him about. I wish you well. Questions for Joel? Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com.

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.

A Tale As Old As Time Hits The Barnegat Stage
BARNEGAT – The Barnegat Our Gang Players is currently in rehearsals to bring you a beast of a show this spring. Our Gang’s Junior Division will transport you back in time to a little town in the French countryside, through the woods to an enchanted castle in their production of “Beauty and the Beast Jr.” There is no shortage of Disney magic as familiar songs such as “Be Our Guest,” “Gaston” and “Tale as Old as Time” will have you dancing (or weeping) in your seat. There is also no shortage of talent either. Belle, played by Zinnia Moon, is seeking adventure and finds it in her co-star the Beast, played by Riley Stoops. Moon and Stoops are joined by other Our Gang veterans: Frankie Petillo (Cogsworth), Ashley Altman (Madame De La Grande Bouche), Ciara Miller (Babette) and Ryleigh McDonald (Chip) as some of your favorite castle characters. The kids have welcomed Emily and Ethan Kunze as the motherly Mrs. Potts and castle emcee, Lumiere, in their first Our Gang performance. Also returning for another show are Noah Hamouda (Gaston), Brandon and Ryan Cubeiro (Lefou and Monsieur D’Arque), Michael Veshela (Maurice) and Stella Crowley (Enchantress). They are supported by a lively cast of narrators, silly girls, wolves and village and castle ensemble members. Director, Ariana Centamore lovingly refers to ensemble members as “Team Beast” or “Team Gaston”. During rehearsals Team Beast and Team Gaston have an
opportunity to obtain rewards by bringing in change for their team. When the change in the jar reaches a certain level a reward, such as a longer break or lollipops, is given to that team. The change is collected as a fundraiser for Our Gang Players and often contributes to the Junior show’s cast party. Team Beast and Team Gaston not only battle it out for change, but will thrill you with their on stage battle as well... which Team will you be rooting for? Director, Ariana Centamore is also co-choreographing the show with Heather Rudolph-King and they have had their work cut out for them with a cast this size. From the fast paced group numbers to a charming Waltz shared between two, they have captured the magic of storytelling through movement. Centamore has also choreographed and co-directed “High School Musical,” “101 Dalmatians” and many junior division shows for Our Gang in the past. Centamore is a student at Stockton University and will graduate with a degree in Theatre Management and hopes to continue her work with children in the field of performing arts. Centamore enlisted the help of Shannon Rabbitt as Stage Manager for this production. Rabbitt has stage-managed and been on crew for several Our Gang productions including the recent “38 Seasons of Love” Fundraiser. Rabbitt is also the parent of one of the cast members and they have been involved with Our Gang since being introduced six years ago. Rabbitt and
her daughter, Ryleigh, have enjoyed bonding over their love of theatre ever since. Centamore is also working with student director, Richard Engebretsen, a student at Southern. Assisting Rabbitt with Stage Crew is another Southern student, Cole Henken. Manager Darlene Petillo has been a huge part of the productions collaboration. Petillo is the communication hub for cast and staff as well as anything else needed to complete a production.

New Additions To Blueclaws Games Sure
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.
LAKEHURST – The Lakehurst First Aid Squad needs additional members, both EMTs and drivers. The requirements are a valid driver’s license, a desire to
“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 in Monmouth Mall, Freehold Raceway Mall, Brick or Howell for a free Chick-fil-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 highend appliance courtesy of ABL and their f ive vendors - W hirlpool, 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 8 foot padded wall and 4 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 8 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.

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!

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
Heineken or Heineken Light 24 Pk Cans
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.

Wolfgang Puc
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, it 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.
