For Now, Inlet Issues Will Remain in Southern Ocean County By Daniel Nee Solutions are on the horizon, but for the near future, at least, boaters will still have to contend with a longer haul and shallow water at Barnegat and Little Egg inlets, respectively. For Stafford Township and Long Beach Island residents, getting to Barnegat Inlet has taken longer than usual over the past two seasons due to the closure of the Double Creek Channel, the southern channel that leads to the inlet and, ultimately, the ocean. After Superstorm Sandy, the shallow channel, marked by dog-leg turns and a skinny width, became even shallower, necessitating officials to install numerous hazard buoys and perform frequent marker changes. In the spring of 2014, the markers were completely removed and the state considered the channel closed to navigation, with a promise that a dredging project would soon lead to its reopening. The good news for boaters it that the dredging project has been scheduled. The bad news is that it will not be completed in time for the channel to be reopened this season. Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company has been awarded a state contract to dredge to channel, and work is expected to begin this fall, said Kevin Israel, spokesman for the state Department of Transportation, which has jurisdiction (Inlet - See Page 4)

NRC: Oyster Creek Hose Failed During Inspection
By Daniel Nee LACEY – The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a “white” finding to the Oyster Creek Generating Station after a hose failed during an inspection earlier this year. The finding, considered to be of “low to moderate safety significance,” according to the federal agency, was issued following a January 4 inspection during which a 3-inch hose that supplies water from a storage tank
to a pump – and in turn to one of the plant’s emergency diesel generators – failed. “The water cools the generator when it is in operation,” said Neil Sheehan, spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. “The emergency diesel generators serve an important safety function in that they are activated to provide power to key plant safety systems in the event that power to the plant from the grid is interrupted.”
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.

over the channel. Boaters to the south have also been impacted by shallow water, with shoals and sandbars making Little Egg Inlet more treacherous than even its dangerous reputation traditionally held. Aside from the safety issues, the inaccessibility of the inlet has had an economic impact, with just one party boat remaining in Beach Haven and several charter captains having moved their boats northward to overcome the possibility of having to cancel paid trips due to safety issues. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which frequently dredges Ocean County’s other two inlets – Barnegat and Manasquan – does not perform the same maintenance on Little Egg Inlet because they do not consider it to be a “commercial” inlet like the other two. Over the past year, local officials have lobbied for the Army Corps to use the inlet
as a donor site for the ongoing beach replenishment project on Long Beach Island, an idea the federal agency has warmed to in recent months. The inlet and its shoals were found to be acceptable as donor sites, though there were questions as to whether environmental reviews would be completed in time to use the inlet sand in the current project. Steve Rochette, spokesman for the Army Corps’ Philadelphia District, said the environmental review project was still ongoing, but the possibility of using the inlet in the current project has not been ruled out. “We’re coordinating with the environmental resource agencies now on this effort - we would need to get the approvals soon in order to use the site for the current construction as our contractor is expected to be working in Holgate in the June timeframe,” Rochette said. If the inlet is approved in the coming weeks as a donor site, a new specialized dredge boat, the Illinois, will be brought in to conduct operations in the inlet.

Exelon, the plant’s owner, has 10 days from the announcement of the finding May 13 to file a response. The plant’s management can ask for a regulatory conference to provide additional information about the issue, submit a written response, or inform the NRC that it accepts the finding as characterized in the report. “We believe that we have sufficient information to make a final significance determination,” the report, a copy of which was obtained by the Southern Ocean Times, said. While a white finding can be considered minor in nature, the NRC’s report said in this particular case, the issue was “more than minor” because it is “ associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to
initiating event to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage).” The hose which failed, the NRC found, had been in service for approximately 22 years and subjected to “thermal degradation and aging” that eventually led to its failure. If the finding is affirmed, the plant would be subject to increased federal oversight. The plant will be operational for just over three years. A recent filing by Exelon with the NRC said the plant – the nation’s oldest commercial nuclear generating station – will shut down in November 2019. The plant had been federally licensed to continue to operate until 2029, but under an agreement with the state Department of Environmental Protection, it will be decommissioned 10 years early. Spent nuclear fuel rods will remain on the site for the foreseeable future, however, and officials are looking into the possibility of converting the facility into a natural gas power plant.

Featured Letter Utility 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. William McPhail Toms River
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. Hal Tubbs Toms River
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? Eric Hafner Toms River

Spotlight On Government Capitol Comments 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
NEW JERSEY – Legislation sponsored by Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C.

rental assistance vouchers under the state rental assistance prog ram for grants to veterans. In the 2014-2015 Legislative Session, the legislation passed the Senate unanimously. Despite that level of strong support, the legislation was never considered in the Assembly. The delegation made the following remarks regard-
ing the passage of its veterans’ initiative: “As members of our delegation serve on both the Senate and Assembly Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committees, we fully recognize that housing continues to be among the most pressing issues for our veterans. “Reserving a portion of tenant vouchers through the State Rental Assistance
Program for veterans would augment existing State-administered programs, such as the Veterans Transitional Housing Program known as ‘Veterans Haven.’ Equally important, our legislation would afford veterans greater freedom to choose where they wish to reside in this form of housing. “In addition to passing the Senate by an overwhelming
margin, for the second consecutive legislative session, our legislative initiative also enjoys bipartisan sponsorship. Veterans in need of housing options that are more affordable would be better served by the modifications to the State Rental Assistance Program proposed under our legislation. It’s time for the Assembly to act on this needed veterans’

From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur: MacArthur Announces Congressional Art Winner NEW JERSEY – Congressman Tom MacArthur recently announced that Simon Beier of Lenape Home School in Brick, has won the Third Congressional District Congressional Art Competition in Wash-
ington, DC. Students in the Third Congressional District were invited to submit original artwork in the annual Congressional Art Competition for a chance to have their piece displayed in the U.S. Capi-
tol for a year. “Congratulations to Simon Beier for winning this year’s Congressional Art Competition in New Jersey’s Third Congressional District,” said Congressman MacA r thu r. “This
year’s Congressional Art Competition was a wonderful showcase of the talent and creativity in South Jersey. Every participant should be proud of their work. And, as Members of Congress and visitors
walk to the Capitol in DC, Simon’s work will surely be the best one showcased.” Simon Beier is a high school senior at Lenape Home School in Brick. Beier has lived on the creek and has enjoyed seeing the
diverse wildlife. “On a sunny day in September of last year, I took a picture of a blue heron searching for dinner in our ‘backyard,’ and I decided the heron would make a perfect painting,” said Simon Beier.
Still No Yankees? Then How About A Refund OCEAN COUNTY – As the baseball season approaches its second month with Yankees’ games still blacked out on Comcast, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders is asking the cable conglomerate to issue refunds and reduce bills to reflect the lower costs of not carrying the YES Network. “They are not showing the games, but what happened to the money they were paying to the YES Network?” asked Freeholder Director John P. Kelly. “Comcast should be refunding that money to customers.” According to published reports, the YES Network charges Comcast $5.36 per month per subscriber to carry the channel. With a subscriber base of about 900,000 customers, that
means Comcast is saving more than $4.8 million per month. “Why isn’t that money used to lower bills instead of being pocketed by the cable company,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, chair man of the Ocean Cou nt y Depa r t ment of Consumer Affairs. The Freeholders sent a letter to Robert F. Smith, Comcast regional vice-president for community investment, asking that very question. YES Network officials said Comcast was paying the same fee last year before it eliminated the channel shortly after the end of the 2015 baseball season. The cost of the network is the sticking point between Comcast and YES. Comcast officials have also repeatedly claimed the games
are watched by few of its customers, a point the Freeholders took issue with. “Ocean County is filled with Yankees fans,” said Freeholder Vi rginia E. Haines. “After Toms River East won the 1998 Little League World Series, their players celebrated on the field in Yankee Stadium next to New York Yankees’ players. I would say that makes this Yankees’ territory.” Haines called on Comcast and the YES Network to end the rhetoric and restore the broadcasts. “The only losers in all this are the fans,” she said. Freeholder Gerry P. Little said Comcast could also offer the network as part of an optional add-on sports package. “At least give customers a
choice,” he said. On April 6 the Freeholders unanimously passed a resolution calling on the two sides to reach an agreement. 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 espe-
cially 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.”

LACEY – Lacey Lodge 2518 of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks Special Needs Children’s Committee donated an Ambuc AmTryke tricycle to a special needs child who attends the Alpha School located in Jackson.

Siegel received the AmTryke while surrounded by his mother, grandmother, teachers and the Elk members who helped him upon the seat of the AmTryke for the first time to start enjoying his new mobility. The AmTryke is a specially designed tricycle that allows children who are unable to operate a traditional bike an opportunity to share the
experience. It incorporates designs to accommodate the requirements of a special need’s person. This tricycle featured an adjustable seat, safety belts for seat and feet, adjustable peddles and adjustable seat, among other features specifically incorporated to consider the extraordinary needs of a special needs child. One unique feature of this model is a rear push steer handle that can control the direction of the tricycle and maintains the capability to bring the tricycle to a stop from the rear steer handle hand break. The AmTryke can be fashioned to accommodate those who require special features including injured adults and veterans. Lacey Elks Lodge is located at 900 Beach Blvd. in Forked River.

said its i nsu rance company is pro cessing the claim, with an estimated shortfall of $10,000 for the insurance deductible and immediate expenses to be met. To raise funds, the seaport is seeking donations through its website, tuckertonseaport.org. The pop-up Gift Shop, Office, and entryway have been relocated to the Hunting Shanty. In a post to its subscribers, the seaport assured visitors the museum would be in operation although much
of its main building was in repair: “All events and school tours will continue as scheduled, but we need your help to make it through this emergency period to meet immediate expenses.” The Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve had to dismantle its exhibit, called Life on the Edge, and some pieces were destroyed from the water damage, closing the exhibit until further notice, the group reported. On May 11, the Seaport shared some photos of the ongoing effort to clean-up after the damage, showing the emptied f loors and removed insulation, of walls down to the studs.

attendees can purchase eye patches, swords and other pirate paraphernalia. The Tuckerton Seaport and Baymen’s Museum is located at 120 West Main St. in the heart of historic Tuckerton. Event admission is $8 for adults, $6 for seniors, $3 for children and free for Seaport Members. Event admission includes access to the Seaport’s 40 acres of family fun, featuring maritime activities, historic and recreated buildings, live animals, a boardwalk, miniature golf course and exhibits.

What Does Your Insurance Company Offer For Your Hearing? Understanding your insurance benefits can be confusing and time consuming. What’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. Dr. Izzy is always here to provide answers to important hearing care issues. He has offices in Toms River, Manahawkin, and Whiting, and can be reached at 732-8183610 or visit gardenstatehearing.com.

Time To Get Rid Of Standing Water OCEAN COUNTY – Local officials are warning the abundance of rain could lead to standing water, and the potential for mosquitos. “It’s taken awhile, but thank goodness the sun finally came out. With the amount of rain we had the past few weeks, even with the sun shining, it is going to take quite a while to dry up all of the water left behind,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “Now is the time to get outside, look around and get rid of any standing water,” Little added. Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health (OCHD) public health coordinator, said, “With concerns of Zika, we have the opportunity right now to be proactive and do something to protect ourselves and our property against mosquitoes. We are still steps ahead of Zika, which we really don’t know if it will or will not affect us. Public Health always hopes for the best, but will take as many steps as possible to prepare for the worst, such as if Zika could be transmitted here in New Jersey. Now is the time to clean up water from your property.
Make sure you clear water out of your gutters and check all of your outside furniture for pockets of water. Check all of your screens for any holes and look to see if there are any gaps where your door closes that could allow mosquitoes to come inside the house.” Regenye added, “The Health Department is in constant touch with the New Jersey Department of Health and continues to participate in conference calls with the State and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Our website at ochd.org is linked directly with the CDC for updates on Zika and there is also updated information on how to protect yourself and your property from mosquitoes and updated information on mosquito repellents, which are certainly recommended for people being outside. We also need to remember that there are other mosquito-borne illnesses that are still in our environment, such as West Nile Virus. We cannot stress enough to protect yourselves and your property from mosquitoes.” Continue to visit the Ocean County Health Department’s website at ochd.org or follow the Health Department on Twitter@ OCpublichealth.

Here’s To Your Health 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.

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? Write to preferredcares.com.

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.
