Fitness Fits Into Park Stations

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The mile-long track at the Drum Point Sports Complex is more for just walking or jogging, now that a trio of fitness stations has bee n i n st al led a nd opened to the public.

There’s about a third of a mile between fitness stations, which are strategically placed for the b e s t u s e, s a id Parks Department Supervisor Ken Mathis, who oversees all aspects at the 40-acre complex.

The efforts are thanks to the recreation depar t ment and consultants from Marturano Game Time in choosing the equipment best suited for the complex. The three stations offer equipment for cardio, agility and strength.

The cardio station is at the beginning of the walking track, and the equipment there includes a walker, an elliptical trainer and a recumbent cycle.

“It’s a starting point, a warm-

up station that gets your heart going, and then you’re off on your way onto the trail,” Mathis said.

The next station is for agility training, and it has three bala nc e pla n k s , a tilted sit-up platform and a back stretcher. It is the only station that is age restricted to those 13 and older.

The third station i s for s t r e ng t h t raining, and it has a push-up station, a pull-up station, a bench press and a leg press.

It’s no coincidence that the strength station is located next to the complex’s synthetic football f ield si nc e t he football players use it for training, Mathis said.

All of the fitness stations have maintenance-f ree equipment with a basic, durable design and

Lakewood Civilian Safety Watch Patrols Raise Concerns

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – A Lakewood-based civilian group patrolling with its own marked vehicles has raised some concerns along the town’s borders with Jackson and Toms River.

Jackson Township sent a strong message to any would-be outside patrol forces: stay out.

Council unanimously passed a resolution that “restricts cooperation” of the township’s police department with any neighborhood watch group outside the township’s jurisdiction. The resolution came in response to complaints about Lakewood’s Civilian Safety Watch (LCSW) crossing into (Patrol - See Page 5)

have a lifetime of at least 10 to 12 years, but the Parks Department keeps an eye on the equipment anyway, he said.

“They don’t have a ton of moving p a r t s a n d we r e made to be outs i d e ,” h e s a i d .

“They ser ve the pu r pose t hey’re made for.”

When the weather is good, the complex is “packed” between 5 and 10 p.m. with joggers and families, and the fitness stations are always being used, Mathis said.

Department of Recreation Supervisor Dan Santaniello said the fitness stations cost $28,000 and were part of the Brick Tow nship Park Improvement plan in the 2015 capital budget.

The equipment was installed inhouse by Department of Public

Works employees, he said.

“We did it ourselves because before you know it, it would cost $100,000 when you pay [outsiders] a prevaili ng wage,” Santaniello said.

T he worke r s installed the equipment incrementally over the winter months.

The township sports teams h ave b e e n i n corporating the f itness stations into their daily practice, and he said the football players are “ecstatic about it.”

Santaniello said the fitness stations are one-of-a-kind in Ocean County.

“There are none in our area.

Memorial Day Events To Include Parades, Ceremonies

OCEAN COUNTY – The holiday was once known as “Decoration Day,” a day dedicated to honoring the war dead of WWI, to decorate the graves. Now known as Memorial Day, the national holiday is a day of patriotism, spent with ceremonies and parades remembering those servicemen and women who died in conflicts

throughout the ages.

This year, many well-attended Memorial Day weekend events return with veterans groups, local officials and more taking the time to remember all who died in service to their country. Here are some of the events. For a complete calendar visit micromediapubs.com.

School Board Narrowly Passes $150M Budget

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – In a vote of 4 to 3, members of the Board of Education passed a $150 million school budget for 2016-2017 that raises the tax levy by 3.51 percent to $103.5 million. The additional cost to homeowners with an average assessed home of $293,500 is about $98 more a year.

The budget includes the creation of a new science and math academy and some repairs to a high school gym, and uses surplus funds to help pay for the rising cost of medical benefits. Attrition will eliminate more than a dozen teacher positions.

Both the budget and tax levy are up over last year, when the 20152016 budget was $146.9 million, up .9 percent, and was supported by a $100,000,721 tax levy.

While the 2016-2017 budget exceeds the state-mandated 2 percent cap, Business Administrator James Edwards said that unused cap bank from the past could be applied.

The budget calls for the elimination of 17 positions, including 14 teachers; all but four of those are through attrition, said Interim (Budget - See Page 4)

“I feel there should have been additional efficiencies in the budget. There’s a difference between wants and needs.”

– Brick Board member Karyn Cusanelli, who voted against the budget.

Superintendent Thomas Gialanella.

Funds have been set aside for repairs to the Brick High School East gym, including ref inishing the f loor, new indoor bleachers, removing the divider doors, paint for the walls and ceiling, and more.

Also included in the budget is the creation of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) academies at the two high schools and technology upgrades in the district.

Last year, teachers’ raises were funded with savings from medical and prescription benefits, Edwards said. Money was transferred from those accounts into salary accounts, and this year that was supposed to happen again.

“But because of changes in the plan, we’re not seeing those medical savings we projected come to fruition,” he said during a special meeting on May 2.

“We are obligated to pay the increases.”

Salaries and benefits represents 82 percent of the budget, said Edwards.

Board member Sharon Cantillo asked if money in the surplus account was used for the 2016-2017 budget.

Edwards said that $4,469,272 was used, leaving $2,767,367, or 2 percent.

The amount of surplus decreased from the tentative budget because Edwards said projections of money left in the prescription line account was less than anticipated.

“Actuaries are projecting that between now and the end of the year we’ll be spending $1.6 million more in prescriptions,” he said. “We’ve spent $4.9 million to date, so we’re going to need to transfer $591,000 into the prescription line to cover this year’s expenditure.”

Gialanella said he spoke to another school district of a similar size who said their prescription costs are up 22 percent this year over what they were expecting. “It’s a national trend,” he added.

Cantillo said the Board had implemented every single utilization management tool that is available to manage prescription care. “I don’t know what else could be done,” she said.

Board member Karyn Cusanelli said the board, a negotiation attorney and an insurance broker worked very closely with the bargaining groups and they

pieces of equipment like chin-up bars, but nothing with moving par ts,” he said.

Deanna Kennelly was at the complex on Saturday afternoon with her son, E.J., 9, and several of his friends.

“My son is always on the equipment;

agreed to make sure that teachers got their step increases.

“Not giving them step increases is penalizing them and withholding their increments which is a punitive thing,” she said. “It was a give and take...we negot iat ed healt h benef it s on bot h sides.”

Edwards said if the staff had no raises in 2016-2017, and if there were no changes in the health and prescription benefits, the medical costs would still be going up $3 million. “Instead, what you’re having is salaries are going up $2.7 million,” he said.

Cusanelli said the school budget is d if fe re nt f rom a mu n icipal budget because “a school budget is a total number, and there tends to be movement; those are the transfers we vote on every month. You’re shifting when there’s a surplus in one account and you use that to cover your obligations on another,” she said.

The law prohibits the Board of Education from overspending a line account, Edwards said.

Other districts have been known to lay off staff in the middle of the school year to make up account deficits, he said. “ I a m d is ap p oi nt e d w it h t he 3.5 percent increase,” said Cusanelli. “I feel there should have been additional eff iciencies in the budget. There’s a difference between wants and needs,” she said.

Board President John Lamela said he ran into someone he knew from the Brick High School class of ‘92.

“He said, ‘Man, that place is falling dow n ,’” L a mela re ca l le d . “ I t h i n k we’ve made cuts in the past because of the financial constraints put on us to balance budgets, but we’re at a point now where we need to star t moving forward and putting money in the right places,” he said. “This increase...is a way to get us to move in that direction.”

Lamela said he would support an operational audit in hopes for savings in next year’s budget.

“It’s time to put kids in the focus.

That means giving our teachers the supplies they need,” he said. “This is a good budget.”

Cantillo, Cusanelli and Stephanie Woh l r ab voted agai n st t he budget, while Lamela, George White, Victoria Pakala and John Barton voted in favor.

he likes the first one and the last one best,” she said. “All the kids are always using them, they always run over here.”

That’s true, said E.J. “I love it. I’m going to get more strong and powerful.

It’s really fun,” he said.

The governing body had planned to have a ribbon-cutting for the fitness stations, but the event was cancelled several times due to inclement weather.

Jackson.

A May 5 post on the Jackson Police Facebook page, signed by Chief Matthew Kunz, seemed to indicate that if the LCSW was called into Jackson by a resident, they would respond.

“The LCSW group will provide assistance for any person or group upon request. Such assistance may include well-being checks for family or friends, or checking on homes when the residents are away. The Lakewood Police Department does interact with them in certain circumstances, akin to the support that CERT teams provide via the Office of Emergency Management. Members of the LCSW are trained to make observations and report them to the police department, not to take law enforcement action,” the post said. Kunz said the LCSW does not “patrol” Jackson, and an investigation into “alleged traffic stops, patrols of the township and the use of red or blue lights and or sirens,” has yielded no indications of wrongdoing.

However, township officials have claimed to see LCSW vehicles in town. While that group and other Lakewood officials have gone on the record saying the LCSW stays within Lakewood’s borders, a Toms River resident provided footage of a LCSW vehicle driving down his North Dover neighborhood on Owen Court with its amber lights turned on in April this year. APP.com reporter Shannon Mullen reported that Lakewood Police Chief Robert Lawson, who spoke with LCSW about the video, said the driver

The Brick Times, May 21, 2016, Page 5 didn’t realize he was in North Dover.

Councilman Barry Calogero read into the record his letter to Kunz, which received a round of applause when finished. Calogero’s letter, along with correspondence available on social media outlets from Council President Robert Nixon and Mayor Michael Reina, demand the end of outside “help” patrolling Jackson streets.

Calogero read a letter he penned to Kunz outlining his and residents’ frustrations.

“Chief, I have received numerous calls from irate, concerned, frustrated, and quite honestly, fed up residents as it related to the continued presence of the LCSW patrolling Jackson borders and can be described as intentional impersonation of police officers,” Calogero said. “So with a strong, functional police force, that in my opinion is second to none in the state, why do we allow this outside organization to patrol and intimidate Jackson residents with marked cars, deliberately intended to bring attention to themselves? I can attest that I’ve seen them racing down County Line with my own eyes. I strongly request immediate action be taken to have this process stopped in its tracks. While all are welcome to live freely in Jackson and enjoy our township, we do not need an outside township patrolling our streets of Jackson.”

He concluded: “We have a great police department. They’ve proven their ability.

They’re second to none. We don’t need help from outside townships.”

Nixon, who also a penned a letter that made the social media rounds, spoke on the patrols and addressing public safety.

“Public safety is the most important obligation of any government. Anything that remotely calls into question that obligation has to be immediately addressed. Much has been said about sightings by outside community groups ‘patrolling’ town. The mayor and I, others on Council, many of you, have seen it with our own eyes. I think we made ourselves very clear over the last two weeks about what we believe the policy of this township should be as it relates to that,” Nixon said.

While neighborhood watches have their place, Nixon said they cannot replace trained emergency workers. The resolution states that any neighborhood watch organized in Jackson will not use any vehicle, identification, or uniform, and may only receive training from federal, state, county or local law enforcement agencies.

“It’s simply too dangerous and too prone to abuse to allow untrained civilians to act in place of police, fire, or an EMT. I expect no problem whatsoever in getting the cooperation of our police department…in enforcing this resolution. Our administration, thanks to the mayor, will ensure that its implementation is taken seriously for the benefit of this community,” Nixon said.

While residents should call 9-1-1 for emergencies, the resolution doesn’t state how violations of it should be handled. That information was not available by press time.

“Some will say we’re overreacting, that anybody has the right to call anybody they want to come and handle a problem for them.

But I have to say that’s why we have9-1-1.

Our emergency personnel are qualified, they

are trained, they are experienced. They can handle it. None of us should take the law into our own hands, I think we all know that. And our police officers have to be free to enforce the laws they’re trained to do. The firefighters have to be able to get to a scene to address emergencies quickly, and our EMTs have to be able to get to a person who’s in physical distress,” Nixon said.

The LCSW describes itself as a 24-hour-a day volunteer organization “to help keep the streets of Lakewood safe.” Persons can call the 24-hour hotline to report “fears and suspicions,” and volunteers will be dispatched to the scene and arrive within minutes, then taking it upon themselves to determine professional help is needed.

The volunteer application for LCSW asks for the name of the congregation or church attended, and the name of the respective rabbi or pastor.

The group responded to complaints about their presence outside Lakewood in an April 28 Facebook post.

“While the LCSW’s operations are, for the most part, limited to Lakewood, we have on occasion been asked to patrol in other cities and towns throughout New Jersey. However, we never enter municipalities without first coordinating with the local authorities.

Recently, the LCSW received requests for patrols from numerous residents of the Rte. 70 area near the Lakewood-Toms River border. During his zone patrol, one of our members drove his marked vehicle down one block on North Apple St. in Toms River.

We apologize if his presence on the street distressed anyone in any way.”

Featured Letter Utilities Board’s Confusing Trends Third-party energy suppliers for private homes, energy aggregation and subsidies for companies producing solar panels are all part of programs promoted by the NJ Board of Public Utilities.

According to the BPU these steps will ultimately result in lower costs and cleaner air. However the NJ BPU is at the same time approving networks of pipeline that will increase the supply of natural gas. Natural gas, like coal and crude oil is a fossil fuel that is becoming more costly both financially and environmentally. The NJ rate payer will pay the cost of building the pipelines despite protests by many and questions regarding the eventual market and who will benefit from this expansion.

The BPU has not yet produced a comprehensive plan that identifies the research on which they base their approval and promotion of these activities.

The NJ Board of Public Utilities began promoting the use of third-party energy suppliers by municipalities to enable these companies to have a larger market.

To reach this goal, elected officials from several mu-

nicipalities need to work together to provide more people and replace the individual approach by the third party energy company.

Private individuals, but not the township itself, will automatically be enrolled, with provisions to opt out.

By forcing individuals to opt out and promoting the theory of saving money may well produce a passive acceptance on the part of many. Local officials will engage consultants who will determine and select the best supplier. JCP&L will continue to be the conduit to get power to each home; that will not change.

The fees for all this will be embedded in the monthly bill from JCP&L and these fees will exist forever. As supplier’s costs increase, so will the fees associated with this plan. It is difficult to understand how all of this can be carried out without some involvement of paid pubic employees but that is not factored in. After the introductory savings to get this started, the additional layers of fees will eventually cost more than if we left this on a private basis.

So why is this being done?

Letters To The Editor Fire The DMV

The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission is at it again, digging into the motorists pockets!

The latest move is to send certain vehicles to private inspection owners. Projected cost to these vehicle owners is $40, $50, $60 and up. Why? The supposed answer: long waiting lines at current inspection stations. The question of who caused this: was it the DMV shutting down stations across the state?

Will the DMV reimburse the drivers?

For the short-minded N.J. driver that can’t remember, the annual auto registration fees were increased to cover inspection costs. If the N.J. drivers don’t rebel against this move, we will all be next to feel the across-theboard increase!

The solution is simple – fire the DMV, do away with state inspections and only operate license renewals/ registrations and driver testing facilities.

We Are Worse Off President Obama has done a great job at many things.

Let’s start with the most obvious.

Congressional Budget Office predicts upwards of a final total of $20 trillion of debt when Obama leaves office. That is more debt run up by Obama then every President before him combined.

More Social Welfare pro-

gram recipients, more legal citizens not paying taxes to fund these programs.

The Obamacare mess that has provided more people with the taxpayers’ dollars in the name of universal healthcare. The healthcare provided is a complete sham that is being glorified by the skewed numbers from this administration.

The liberal progressive left wing has control of the urban sections in this nation.

How is that working out?

Violence and murders, poverty and welfare, homeless, broken families and decay.

That about sums up the urban areas in this nation.

President Obama is nothing more than a winner in the “Worst President Contest.”

Who would have thought even President Carter would be looked at historically as better then Obama.

We have had eight years of government intrusion in our lives. President Obama found more time to play golf and vacation like no other president before. President Obama concerned himself with the personal lives of others more than any other president before. While doing so, the more important issues like foreign policy and border security and the economy have greatly suffered.

Statistics do not lie. They don’t see sides when properly kept. And finally, yes, we are worse off when it comes to division within this nation then before Obama took office. That is truly the fault of the liberal progressive left wanting to

Recent Studies Point To Meat-Free Diet With the 47th annual observance of Earth Day recently, this is a great time to explore more effective ways of slowing climate change and conser ving Earth’s natural resources for future generations.

A 2010 UN report charged animal agriculture with 19 percent of man-made greenhouse gases – more than all transport – and recommended a global shift to a vegan diet. A subsequent World Watch study placed that contribution closer to 50 percent. Meat and dairy production also du mps more water pollutants than all other human activities combined. It is the driving force in global deforestation and wildlife habitat destruction.

Last fall, England’s prestigious Chatham House declared that reducing meat consumption is critical to achieving global climate goals. A report from Oxford University found that global adoption of a vegan diet would reduce greenhouse emissions by two thirds. The 2015 U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has recommended reduced meat

consumption and an environmentally sustainable diet.

Just as we replace fossil fuels by wind, solar, and other sustainable energy sources, we must replace animal foods with the more sustainable vegetables, fruits, and grains. Being mindful of this can help us make better choices at the supermarket.

Freeheld Legacy I recently saw Ocean County Freeholder Jack Kelly. I didn’t see Jack in person, but in a trailer for a Hollywood movie.

The movie was called “Freeheld ,” a nd it was about Jack Kelly and other Republican Ocean County Freeholders who opposed giving sur vivor’s benefits to the lesbian partner of dying Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Police Lieutenant Laurel Hester.

The drunken antics of M T V’s “Jer sey Shore” provided a much more positive portrayal of Ocean County than the homophobic behavior of Freeholder Jack Kelly, now memorialized in “Freeheld.”

Jack Kelly is a true embarrassment and entirely unfit to serve on the New Jersey State Parole that must review the cases of LGBT inmates, as well as grapple with the effects of bias cr imes in their decisions.

Governor Chris Christie must not be thinking st raight in consider ing Kelly. Maybe Jack Kelly could find a new career as a bathroom monitor in North Carolina?

Pinelands Are Being Assaulted By Illegal ATV Riders

OCEAN COUNTY – The Pinelands are under assault by crowds of illegal ATV and quad riders who are tearing up the pristine woods, leaving behind mounds of trash and endangering first responders who sometimes have to travel to remote areas to treat injuries.

Unfortunately, social media has attracted many more riders into areas of the Pinelands that had previously only been known to small groups of locals.

Now, with word spreading

on Facebook and high-resolution satellite images available on every phone, riders from around the state and the Northeast are coming here, and in many cases completely disregarding our laws regarding all-terrain vehicles.

Additionally, police have found that many of these vehicles are unregistered and uninsured.

Local police and the media have reported that large groups of riders arrive with trailers full of dirt bikes, quads and other ATVs.

These riders are at risk of serious injury and can be difficult to find and treat in the vast expanse of pine forests.

The motorized vehicles on Pinelands trails can also pose a forest fire danger to the surrounding woodlands.

Police departments from Lacey, Barnegat and Waretown have already begun a campaign targeting offroad riders on both private property and conservation tracts.

Working together with municipalities, the State Po-

lice and the Department of Environmental Protection, we can control this growing problem.

One suggestion might be the immediate confiscation of motorized off-road vehicles found on private property and restricted public land.

Confiscation would send a strong message that people can’t simply travel to Ocean County and have a good time without obeying the law.

Last summer also saw a problem with large parties

in some sections of the Pinelands, with partygoers leaving behind huge piles of trash.

In one location, we estimated that more than 300 young people had gathered one weekend.

Having fun is one thing, but la rge u ncont rolled crowds like this threaten the environment and make it difficult for police and other first responders to respond to an emergency at such an event.

We are very fortunate that 60 percent of all the land in

From The Desk Of Senator Bob Menendez NEW JERSEY – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker applauded the Environmental Protection Agency for allocating $70.41 million to help finance upgrades to New Jersey’s wastewater and drinking water systems that are essential to protecting public health and the environment. The funding comes amid growing concern over the presence of high levels of lead discovered in the drinking water in several New Jersey public school districts.

“I am pleased that the EPA has made this critical investment to help New Jersey communities address their aging water infrastructure

$70.41 To Fund Upgrades To New Jersey’s Water Systems

and make the improvements necessary to protect the public’s health and wellbeing,” said Sen. Menendez. “We must give our states and cities the tools they need to fix, upgrade and replace these failing water systems that threaten the health of our families, our environment and our economy. I will continue to fight for federal resources to ensure our water systems are safe and reliable.”

“We already know that dangerous levels of lead are threatening the health and safety of children across our nation. Now is the time to take action,” said Sen. Booker. “As our nation’s

infrastructure continues to crumble, these federal funds couldn’t come at a better time.

I was proud to fight for infrastructure funding like this through the federal appropriations process to help finance critical water infrastructure upgrades that will create jobs, spur economic growth and most importantly, protect the health and well-being of our communities in New Jersey and across the nation.”

The EPA is allotting $54.59 million from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and $15.81 million from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) programs, both to be admin-

istered by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). CWSRF provides low-interest loans to local governments for water quality protection projects to make improvements to wastewater treatment systems, control pollution from rain water runoff, and protect sensitive water bodies and estuaries. DWSRF provides low-interest loans to local governments to finance improvements to drinking water systems, with a particular focus on providing funds to small and low-income communities.

“Clean drinking water and proper wastewater treatment

are fundamental to protecting people’s health, but aging water infrastructure needs to be upgraded and repaired,” said EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck. “This federal funding will help New Jersey communities upgrade their drinking water and sewage treatment systems, both of which are imperative for healthy communities.”

The EPA has awarded $2.4 billion to New Jersey through these programs since 1989.

Both are funded annually.

In March, Sens. Menendez and Booker joined a bipartisan group of senators to press for at least $1.394 billion in funding for the CWSRF

and $863.2 million funding for the DWSRF in FY2017 in a letter to the Chair and Ranking Member of the Senate Interior Appropriations Subcommittee, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Tom Udall (D-N.M).

Sen. Menendez has also introduced the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Investment Act, cosponsored by Sen.

LAKEWOOD – Longtime Georgian Court University Professor of English and Assistant Provost Mary Chinery, Ph.D., is GCU’s new dean of the School of Arts and Sciences. Her appointment, which comes after a national search to replace retiring Dean Rita Kipp, Ph.D., is effective July 1.

“Dr. Chinery brings to the job a wealth of experience from her work with faculty and students and her leadership in the classrooms and as a former department chair to her numerous collaborations with the campus community on university-wide projects,” said GCU Provost William J. Behre, Ph.D. “The School of Arts and Sciences, as well as the entire university, will benefit from her deep knowledge in such areas as in online learning, higher education partnerships, academic programming, accreditation planning and curriculum development,” he said.

Chinery completed her undergraduate work in English and religious studies at Georgian Court in 1986. She holds an M.A. in English from Northeastern University and a Ph.D. in English from Drew University, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

She joined Georgian Court as an instructor in 1989 and has served in many roles. She formerly chaired the Department of English and Communications, led the humanities program (now interdisciplinary studies) and was an associate dean for the School of Arts and Sciences before being named assistant provost in 2010. In addition, she served as co-chair of the campus task force that recommended and implemented GCU’s 2012 shift to full coeducation, following more than 100 years of being primarily known as a women’s college.

“It is an exciting time in the history of the university, and I look forward to working with the faculty and students as dean of the School of Arts and Sciences,” said Chinery. “Georgian Court really excels in the transformative power of education, from which I benefited myself. The values of the Sisters of Mercy, combined with tremendous faculty expertise, prepares students to make a real difference in the world.”

– Photo courtesy Georgian Court University Georgian Court University recently announced that Dr. Mary Chinery will be the new Arts and Sciences Dean.

Chinery, often involved in strategic planning and directives, has been an integral part of GCU’s exhaustive periodic review reporting and critical preparations for the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the chief accrediting body for the university. In 2012, she led the faculty’s full-scale push to adopt iPads in their teaching, and is GCU’s lead coordinator with the Learning House, the university’s partner for creating and delivering online degree programs to students throughout the United States.

Most recently, she has worked closely with new faculty and with those approaching thirdyear review as part of the tenure process. Chinery is also the chair of the university’s yearlong policy review project, which requires a re-examination of all institutional policies.

Her research area is in American literature, and she has published works on Willa Cather, including “Carnival in the Novels of Willa Cather: When the World Becomes Grotesque” (2011).

Autism Family Services Launches “Operation Lego” Collection

BRICK – In the United States, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) will affect one in 45 births. When first diagnosed with ASD, approximately 40 percent of children do not speak. The use of Legos can be extremely beneficial to children with ASD, so Autism Family Services of New Jersey is holding “Operation Lego.” Legos can improve social interaction, language skills and self-confidence.

They can also teach children joint attention, turn taking and how to follow guidelines.

Operation Lego is a toy drive for these particular brand of toys.

“We are hoping that families, individuals, church and social groups will help us succeed with Operation Lego,” said Bret Vaks, executive director of Autism Family Services of New Jersey.

“Companies could even host a workplace Lego collection drive.”

There is a Lego Drop Off location at 35 Beaverson Blvd., Building 11.

For questions, call Mikaela Saunders at 800376-2345 ext. 233.

Autism Family Services of New Jersey (AFSNJ), founded 2004, is dedicated to ensuring a better quality of life for individuals and their families affected by Autism and related disorders throughout the lifespan.

Island Singers’ Spring Concert Schedule

LANOKA HARBOR – Ocean County audiences have been enjoying the music of The Island Singers Community Chorus for more than 40 years. The four-part choral group has been under the guidance of Director Polly Moore for much of that time.

Membership fluctuates depending on the season. Typically there are a few more people on the role during the spring than for the holiday concert in December. Approximately 40 men and women are singing with the group now. Many singers return every year and have been singing with Moore for over 20 years. They come from all walks of life and are of all ages. Some folks have vocal experience and want to continue performing, but most members simply enjoy singing and want to be part of a choral group. Anyone with a pleasant voice and a desire to learn the music is welcome to join.

Rehearsals are held every Tuesday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. at Village Lutheran Church, 701 Western Blvd.

The Spring Concert features an eclectic blend of familiar standards and traditional favorites. This spring the chorus is planning a water-themed concert, and they are currently searching through their files for songs reflecting this theme.

Concerts are free and held in local libraries, museums and other venues. The chorus also makes several pro-bono appearances in hospitals, nursing homes and rehab centers. The following is the Spring Concert schedule: June 4 at 2:30 p.m.: Point Pleasant branch

Library, 834 Beaver Dam Road, Point Pleasant.

June 11 at 7:30 p.m.: St. Paul Lutheran Church, 130 Cable Ave., Beachwood.

June 18 at 8 p.m.: Barnegat Community Center, 900 W. Bay Ave., Barnegat.

July 9 at 8 p.m.: Long Beach Island Museum, Engleside and Beach Avenues, Beach Haven.

Students from the Ocean County College American Sign Language Interpreter Training Program will be signing the music during the concert. Since this season’s theme is about water the program features familiar tunes like “April Showers,” “Deep River,” “Sittin On The Dock Of The Bay” and several popular Broadway tunes, “Ol’man River,” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair,” “Soon It’s Gonna Rain,” and “River Song.” The group is also singing one of their favorites, “Away From The Roll Of The Sea” and “From Sea To Shining Sea,” based on the patriotic song, “America The Beautiful.”

Two new songs, “Song For The Mira” and “The Seal Lullaby” will be performed as well.

The Island Singers is a non-profit organization and receives some government funding.

Membership dues are collected at the beginning of each season to help offset salary costs for the director, accompanist and purchase of new music. Occasional fundraisers also help defray the group’s operational costs.

New members always welcome. No auditions necessary. For more information, visit islandsingersnj.com or contact Polly Moore at 732-341-8565.

W hat’s more, many insurance companies and benefit programs reduce or eliminate your choices the moment they’ve activated your referral to a hearing care provider – a provider that they often select for you. In some circumstances, Medicare does offer limited coverage for the cost of hearing aids, but only if the hearing loss is related to an injury or a disease. Audiologic (hearing) testing are typically covered by Medicare, but only if the exam is recommended by your doctor. This means you must have a written “script” requesting the necessity for the hearing care services.

Do you have a hearing aid benefit?

Do you fully understand it? Do you understand what your insurance policy’s “discount program” really means, and what services are or aren’t covered? You deserve to retain control over your hearing health care- in your choice of provider, your hearing technology, and your program of follow-up care. There are some insurance programs that want you to fax a copy of your hearing test to them. Then, they will pick out a hearing aid for you (based on

a very limited selection) and send the hearing instrument to you via mail.

Who is qualified to program your hearing aid? Who will instruct you on the proper care and maintenance of the hearing aid? Who will do routine follow-up care?

If you have a hearing benefit as part of your insurance plan, we recommend that you - contact us BEFORE you contact your insurance company!

Our experts can help you take full advantage of your hearing insurance benefits to help you hear your best.

Garden State Hearing & Balance Center will be happy to assist you in determining your benefit and will directly bill you insurance company for payment. We participate with most insurance carriers and benefit programs.

We are committed to working directly with you and your insurance company to determine how you are covered, and to make sure that you are getting the most out of your current benefits.

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Cooking Oils Are Not All Good For You

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Do you whip up delicious meals without measuring a single thing? The oil you use in your kitchen can make or break your dish. Did you know that some oils are harmful?

Did you k now that f r ied ch icken or French fries often use “hydrogenated” oils, which increase your risk of diabetes, heart attack, obesity and cancer? Some “partially hydrogenated” oils are even derived from soybean oil, discussed below.

What’s in your kitchen?

Good oils that are high in Monounsaturated fats: Olive oil – Excellent source of antioxidants, polyphenols and essential fatty acids. It supports cardiovascular health and blood pressure.

Coconut oil – I’m referring to the unheated, unref ined, virgin coconut oil, which is healthy raw, or baked; don’t use super high heat. Please avoid “hydrogenated coconut oil,” this is man-made and contains trans fats.

Almond – A source of natural vitamin E, it has even less saturated fat than olive oil. Almond contains monounsaturated fat (like olive oil). Almond oil goes rancid easily, so store it in a dark cabinet.

Good oils that are High in Omega 3 fatty acids: Hemp – This unrefined oil has a good amount of Gamma Linolenic acid (GLA), which is considered a healthy omega 6 that may relieve PMS and skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

Flax – A fragile oil that shouldn’t be heated. It’s good to make salad dressings with. Refrigerate the oil. Too much may be goit rogen ic (suppress iod i ne absor ption) so avoid consu ming high

dose supplements for extended periods of time. A little oil on your salad should be fine though.

Tea seed – This is one of my favorite oils because you can use it at high temperatures, the f lavor is mild and it contains antioxidants like vitamin E. It has both omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Do not confuse tea seed oil with the essential oil of “tea tree,” which cannot be ingested.

Bad oils that are high in Saturated fats or Trans Fats: Canola or Rapeseed – Some of you think this is a “healthy” oil because it’s very low in saturated fat and like olive oil, it’s high in monounsaturated fat. However, hexane is used as a chemical solvent to extract canola oil from the seeds, and pesticides are sometimes used. Bleaching too. It’s used for baking or stir-fry.

Margarine – This is a man-made chemical, do I need to say anything else?

Bad oils that are high in Omega 6, which can increase inf lammation: Corn – It’s hard to find a non GMO version of this, unless it specifically says “organic” and plus, it may be bleached.

Cor n oil increases “oxidized” or bad cholesterol. Cooks (not me) recommend it for high heat.

Soybean – This is another oil that’s heavily refined and often genetically modified (GMO). Soy plants are somewhat toxic to humans, you didn’t know? Soybean oil, milk and tofu contain a lectin called PHG, short for phytohemagglutinin. PHG may interfere with digestion, affect memory and make your blood cells stick together (like clot). People use soybean oil for stir-fry because of the high smoke point.

Read your supplement bottles, soybean oil is used in many dietary supplements.

Sculptor Attempts World’s Tallest Sand Castle

By Jennifer Peacock What’s 60 feet tall and can help build a house? A sand castle.

At least that’s what world-renowned sculptor Ed Jarrett and Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity hope (NOHFH).

Jarrett and representatives from NOHFH joined with Laurita Winery’s Ray Shea and Randy Johnson to break ground on the “world’s tallest sand castle” at Laurita West (Laurita Inn) April 20. The money raised will go to build a single mom and her two children a home on a donated lot in Toms River.

The project has been dubbed “Hands v.

Machines.” Although Guinness World Records has opened up the category to both hand and machine sculpting, Jarrett plans to build his newest creation using all the hands he can get. He is a four-time world record holder for tallest sand castle.

“My reputation has always been based on ‘by hand,’ and Guinness World Records after [Hurricane] Sandy changed the rules to allow machines. I’ve been doing this for 12 years,” Jarrett said. “I hold four world records by hand. So we’re going back to the hand, and we actually picked up with Habitat for Humanity and we’re going to be building sand castles, building homes and building hope. We hope to raise a lot of money for Habitat.”

Volunteers are asked to donate $20.16 to work for the day, or donate $1 a bucket.

Jarrett plans to work 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily until the work in completed.

Jarrett has 1,800 yards of “sharp sand” from Kenvil, a sand that hardens when mixed with water. The sand is the remains of the Sandy Castle in Point Pleasant and Castle Laurita, a project from last year.

Though the tent covering the building site at Laurita West is 60 feet tall, the

height to beat is 45 ft 10.25 inches, the record reached last October in Miami, FL. NOHFH builds one home per year and performs repairs for low income families as well. The biggest challenge, Director Suzan Fichtner said, is getting the funding for the projects. They hope to raise more than $100,000 for this new home.

“We’ve recognized that our success comes from partnerships, collaboration, businesses, people that have a heart for their neighbors. It’s easy to just walk with blinders on and be consumed in your own life, but if you stop and really take the time to look around and listen, you’re going to hear that there’s so many people that really need our help,” Fichtner said.

“It’s our responsibility as people in our communities to just recognize that housing changes peoples’ lives significantly.”

The group works with schools, religious organizations and businesses for volunteers and donations. For this home the group is building this year, Toms River Township donated the land.

“This is bigger than any of us here,” she continued. “I can honestly tell you that the mother and her two children that will be living in this home from this fundraiser, her life will be forever changed.” The mother works two jobs and goes to school.

For Shea, he’s delighted that a talented artist like Jarrett has not only teamed up with NOHFH, but is using his creative talents at Laurita.

“We just want to put New Egypt and Ocean County on the map this way,” Shea said.

For more information on volunteer registration and scheduling, call and leave a voicemail with NOHFH at 732-228-7962 ext. 108.

With Jail Population Declining, County Begins Adapting To New Incarceration Policy

By Daniel Nee OCEAN COUNTY – County Assignment Judge Marlene Lynch Ford said the state’s new bail reform law, currently being piloted in three counties, will be New Jersey’s iteration of a trend that is the first real change to the bail system in American criminal courts in the nation’s history.

For the county government, which funds the salaries of corrections officers and administers the jail facility off Hooper Avenue in Toms River, there is the potential for both cost savings and cost increases under the reforms, which will go into effect for the entire state next year.

“Under the current system where monetary bail is imposed, you have the nonsensical result that people who have the ability to post bond and are a danger to the community are released, while those who do not pose a danger to society and are poor, are held,” Ford told the county’s freeholder board at a recent work session meeting.

The reform law, passed by voter referendum in 2014, changes bail from a purely monetary-based system to one where criminal suspects will be assessed as to their risk to society if released pending trial. Low-risk offenders may be released without having to post monetary bond, and high-risk offenders may be remanded to the jail regardless of whether they have funds that would cover bail costs.

Low-level offenders who do not have to post a monetary bail may be required to comply with orders to check in frequently with the court.

Ford, who said she was constrained from giving her personal opinion on the law, still explained some of its benefits, including the fact that there is a recognition that some suspects’ bail may be funded through illicit means, while 12 percent of jail inmates remain behind bars simply because they are unable to afford a $2,500 bail cost.

“The money-based system had no relation to criminal activity or a defendant’s danger to the community,” Ford said.

The new system will require new m a n p o w e r, s a i d F o r d , p r i m a r i l y t h e employees who will be conducting the assessments on prisoners to determine their risk. Advanced computer software with an algorithm to predict risk also comes with a cost, plus the judges and court staff who will likely have to begin working weekends to accommodate the law’s requirement of a bail hearing with 48 hours instead of 72 hours under the current policy.

The assessors will be paid by the state, Ford said, while the cost of corrections officers’ salaries will be sourced from the county. Those costs, however, may be canceled out by having fewer prisoners in the jail, potentially requiring less manpower and saving the cost of food, medical care and other services for a higher inmate population.

As new state policies such as drug court and other diversionary programs have been expanded, Ocean County’s jail population has decreased. On an average day in 2014, there were 694 inmates in the facility. In 2015, that number was cut to 629 inmates, and so far in 2016 the average daily population is 590, according to County Administrator Carl Block.

“I don’t think anyone really knows the final economic cost,” said Freeholder Jack Kelly.

Ford said the process of arresting a suspect and calculating their risk will be made easier through LiveScan technology, where arrestees are fingerprinted electronically rather than with ink, allowing for a nearly instant criminal history check.

Though essentially all of the county’s local police departments have the technology, some do not frequently use it, a policy which will have to change due to the 48 component of the law.

“We’re moving forward with training, working with the New Jersey State Police,” said county Sheriff Michael Mastronardy.

The new policy must be implemented statewide January 1, 2017.

LONG BEACH ISLAND – Local artist and coloring book illustrator Bill Clanton has created “Colorful Coast: Long Beach Island Edition,” a coloring book for grown-ups that incorporates some images and themes from the Long Beach Island region.

At its core, “Colorful Coast” captures the excitement of a day at the beach and puts it on the pages to be colored. Color fun mosaics and mandalas as well as sketched art, abstract nautical images and underwater sea life. Bill Clanton found inspiration from great landmarks like the Barnegat Light House, local wildlife, the shoreline and more.

“Colorful Coast: Long Beach Island Edition” can be found online through billclantonbooks.com, Amazon and locally at five LBI shops and boutiques. In Beach Haven at Beached in Bay Village, Ship Bottom at the Beach Barn, in Surf City at the Good Life Boutique, Surf City at Bookworm and in Barnegat Light at East Coast Consignment. Creator and illustrator Clanton said, “It is so awesome when an artist can be presented with such amazing inspiration in their own backyard.” Bill Clanton, a Jersey Shore native, has lived in the LBI region for the past 37 years.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Riding Along In My Automobile

Dear Joel, I am fuming. My boyfriend and I needed a car for quite some time now. I agreed to save up and pay for half. He called me to tell me that he had the “perfect car.” He described it, and I agreed to buy it on the phone. What he failed to tell me is that it was a stick shift. I don’t know how to drive a standard transmission, and now have this car that only he can drive!

Answer Well, it does sound as if your boyfriend is a manipulative type. That being said, you did allow for this to happen by letting him “take the wheel” and not going to see the car. Two choices as I see it. If

it’s still possible to get a refund, do it. If not, learning to drive a stick will take you about a day or two.

Many driving schools have an instructor that works with standard transmissions.

It takes some effort but is actually worth knowing. Should you ever travel internationally, you can rent a car virtually anywhere in the world. Gas prices are up, and you’ll save some gallons over the year. Be safe.Questions for Joel?

Flu Activity Increasing Throughout New Jersey

OCEAN COUNTY – The New Jersey Department of Health is seeing increasing inf luenza activity across the state, including Ocean Cou nt y, according to Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

Little continued, “It’s not too late to get your f lu shot. The Ocean County Health Department continues to provide f lu shots at its sites in Toms River, Lakewood and Manahawkin. You can visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org for times and dates of f lu clinics.”

Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Depa r t ment (OCH D) P ublic Health coordinator, said, “If someone has f lu sy mptoms, i nclud i ng fever, muscle aches, coughing, sneezing and other upper respiratory symptoms, it is important to reach out to your medical care provider as soon as possible as

they may prescribe an anti-viral medication which should be started within the first 48 hours of symptoms. We also cannot stress how important f lu prevention measures be taken, including getting a f lu shot, staying home when sick, staying away from sick people, washing your hands and covering your coughs and sneezes.”

The OCHD also offers the pneumonia shot. Both the f lu and pneumonia shots are covered by Medicare Part B. For those without Medicare Part B, each shot costs $20.

A physician’s note or prescription is required for a pneumonia shot for those under the age of 65.

If you have any questions regarding f lu /pneu shot s , cal l 732-341-970 0, ext. 7604. Visit the OCHD website at ochd.org and follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth or like it on Facebook.

Professional Profile Garden State Pain & Radiology Center

Toms River Oncology Radiologist Dr. Bryan Eggert Fights The Good Fight For Patient Lives And Liberties

By Joyce Blay Toms River radiation oncology specialist Dr. Bryan Eggert is not running for public office, but that hasn’t stopped him from advocating for his patients’ rights to government services.

“I fight for my patients to get what they deserve,” he tells a visitor to his office. “I advocate for treatment and medical coverage.”

Dr. Eggert is an affiliate physician of Garden State Medical Center, a unique multi-specialty, out-patient medical facility serving the tristate area.

He also fights for the health and well-being of patients engaged in a personal battle with an implacable foe - cancer.

For this staunch medical warrior, there is no retreat and no quarter given.

“The general outlook for a cancer diagnosis is quite ominous,” Dr. Eggert says. “I think people need to understand and overcome that psychological barrier. A diagnosis of cancer is no longer the end of the world.”

Many of Dr. Eggert’s patients are diagnosed with breast cancer. The Westfield, NJ native views their lives and their self-esteem his personal responsibility to rescue.

“Isn’t empathy a doctor’s personal responsibility?” he asks rhetorically. “I provide emotional support, empathy, counseling. A patient diagnosed with cancer that comes here for radiological treatment will get all those soft things

from me.”

In addition to his professional responsibilities, Dr. Eggert also may arrange for delivery of social services, such as Meals On Wheels, or service calls from the Visiting Nurse Association.

“I’d like to think I pick up on little things in order to treat the whole person,” he says.

Accomplishing those little things is no small t ask. Ac cording to Dr. Eggert, they involve making numerous calls and filing the proper paperwork with the correct government agency.

“A lot of government bureaucrats will say, ‘Let the daughter take care of it’,” Dr. Eggert says. “But a lot of times, that’s overwhelming for family members.”

But not for Dr. Eggert and his staff.

The Renaissance physician prepared for a distinguished academic career by combining a rigorous medical education with a broad interest in liberal arts.

Dr. Eggert is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where he majored in Chemistry, but also excelled in Philosophy and English.

In 1983, Dr. Eggert received his medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO. “That was a very intensive program,” he says of his medical education.

Dr. Eggert completed his medical internship and residency at Baylor University College of Medicine. He also com-

pleted a residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine’s Department of Radiation Oncology, where he held the esteemed position of Chief Resident.

Following a career path that took him far from his New Jersey roots, Dr. Eggert has come full circle and returned to the state of his birth to open an office in Toms River.

He couldn’t be happier.

“I’ve been all over the country and the general quality of this area is excellent,” Dr. Eggert maintains. “The job was here and I liked the area.

It worked out quite well.”

Five days a week, Dr. Eggert wages a never-ending public battle to cut through government red tape. He also wages a never-ending personal battle to stay on top of an ever-changing specialty of medicine.

“This field is evolving so quickly because it’s so highly technologically oriented,” Dr. Eggert says.

That hasn’t deterred the stalwart physician from continuing to fight the good fight on behalf of his patients, to whom he offers this advice following a diagnosis of cancer.

“Take a deep breath,” Dr. Eggert says. “We always fear the worst if we don’t know more about it.”

When asked what he would tell New Jersey Governor Chris Christie if he had the ear of the state’s top bureaucrat, Dr. Eggert laughs.

“What wouldn’t I tell him?” Dr. Eggert says in response.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Fast Food: Quickly Cooked Cod Fillets Convenient For Family Dinner, Entertaining

By Wolfgang Puck

When people hear the term “convenience food,” all too often their minds turn to something you probably should n’t be eating but have to because of limited time. It could be frozen or canned food; or maybe somethi ng picked up f rom the prepared foods section of your super market, like a whole rotisserie chicken or some sor t of soup that has been kept hot for hours in a big vat. Or maybe it’s take-out burgers or other fast food.

But I define convenience food in a different way. It’s simply a recipe that begins with just a few readily available store-bought ingredients, including fresh produce. Then, the dish is put together in minutes with a minimum of fuss and few utensils.

Finally, my ideal convenience food is cooked from start to finish in the same pan from which you serve it.

Do you find such a description too difficult to imagine? Then allow me to present one of my favorite easy recipes - Baked Cod Fillets with a Parmesan-Panko Crust - and explain how it meets all those requirements for convenience.

First, the recipe calls for only a handful of common ingredients you’ll actually need to shop for, plus a few staples you will very likely already have in your pantry or refrigerator.

The coarse, Japanese-st yle breadcrumbs called panko are now commonly found among other packaged breadcrumbs in well-stocked markets or in the Asian foods section. And you can substit ute for the codf ish any other mild-f lavored, thick fish fillets that you like and find readily available.

Next, by my conservative estimate, you’ll probably need 10 to 15 minutes to assemble the dish, during which you’ll also be preheating your oven to its hottest temperature. And that assembly all takes place in an ovenproof nonreactive skillet that you can even carry straight from the oven to your dining table, taking care, of course, to protect your hands with oven gloves or pads and your table with good heatproof trivets.

Consider the fact that the entire prep and cooking of the dish also allows the perfect amount of time to cook steamed rice or another grain dish, begun just before you start getting the fish ready. That will provide the ideal accompaniment to soak up all the delicious sauce that forms around the fillets during cooking.

I k now ma ny people who, once

they’ve cooked and tasted this dish for the first time, put the recipe into their regular rotation, making it not only for family meals but also for casual dinner parties. Now, that’s what I call convenient.

BAKED COD FILLETS WITH A PARMESAN-PANKO CRUST Serves 2 to 4 1 cup (250 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, about 3 ounces (185 g) 1 cup (250 mL) panko or other coarse dry breadcrumbs 1/3 cup (85 mL) mixed chopped fresh herbs such as Italian parsley, chives, t ar ragon, thy me and cher vil, plus extra for garnish 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper f lakes Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter 4 skinless cod f illets, each 4 to 6 ounces (125 to 185 g) and at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick 1/4 red onion, chopped 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry white wine 1 lemon, cut in half, plus extra slices for garnish Place an oven rack in the highest position. Preheat the oven to 500 F (260 C). On a small baking sheet, stir together the Parmesan, panko, 1/3 cup (85 mL) of the herbs, red pepper f lakes, salt and pepper to taste.

Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter i n a heav y ovenproof non react ive skillet large enough to hold the cod.

Season the cod with salt and pepper.

Dip 1 side of a fillet into the butter, then press into the crumbs. Return it crumb side up to the skillet.

Repeat the process with the remaining cod and crumb mixture. Spoon melted butter over the crumbs and dot with the remaining unmelted butter.

Scat ter the onion around the f ish.

Pour the wine in between the f ish fillets, taking care not to disturb the crumbs. Squeeze in a lemon half.

Set the skillet over high heat and bring the wine to a simmer. Put the skillet in the oven. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes. To test for doneness, use a dull skewer: Inserted into the thickest part of a fillet, it should meet no resistance.

Squeeze the remaining lemon half over and around the fish. Place the skillet over high heat to bring the juices back to a simmer. Garnish with lemon slices and the rest of the fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
