Hammering Out EXIT 82 RAISES CURTAIN ON SUMMER SEASON Beach Readiness By Bob Vosseller
TOMS RIVER – “Life is better with a little drama in it.” If that is true then Exit 82’s adopted slogan is making area lives a whole lot better. Fresh from their musical “Heathers” at the Strand Theater, Exit 82 Theater Com‑ pany is preparing for an active summer. Keely Davenport, executive director for Exit 82, said the production company formed in 2008 and became a non-profit performing arts organization. “Exit 82’s mission is to provide quality artistic en‑ tertainment that involves and inspires the local community to develop talents in all aspects of theatre arts.” Raising funds from local patrons and sponsors, and with support from the community, it raised the curtain on its first production in the summer of 2009. With the assistance of its volunteers and patrons, Exit 82 was able to expand its programming and produced its 11th pro‑ duction in July 2015. All its productions are held at the historic Strand Center for the Arts, Lakewood. (Theater - See Page 28)

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 through‑ out 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 micromedia‑ pubs.com. May 27 Manahawkin – Southern Regional High School will hold its Field of Flags ceremony,
with a flag representing each service person who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. As of presstime, the flags numbered 6,848. The flags will be placed on May 26. Southern’s Air Force Junior ROTC cadets will be plac‑ ing the flags throughout the day. On May 27, at 10:30 a.m., a Memorial Day Service on the site is open to all. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the auditorium. There will be a more than 100 students participating in the choir, orchestra and student readings. The flags will remain in place through the holiday weekend. For more information on this project, contact Senior Master Sgt. Mark Irvin at mirvin@ srsd.net.

QUIZ... Toms River’s Early History By J. Mark Mutter At the end of the Revolutionary War, Toms River was left in ruins. But, within a generation, it was named the seat of a new county. Test your knowledge of the years of Toms Riv‑ er’s re-building and re-birth: 1. The Township of Dover (now Toms River) was established in 1767, but our first municipal records, still on file, are only from 1783. What happened to the records from 1767 to 1782? a. They were destroyed when the British attacked and burned the village (Quiz - See Page 4)
By Catherine Galioto TOMS RIVER ‑‑ With sand trucked in and crews hammering out dune walkovers, township officials are confident the barrier island oceanfront beaches will be ready for Memorial Day weekend. But Paul Jeffries, President of the Ortley Beach Voters and Taxpayers Association, said the spring beach conditions have spurred fears that would not be the case, possibly scaring off summer renters and those who have summer homes from sched‑ uling their Memorial Day down the shore. A lack of sand from winter storms, which also destroyed six dune walkovers, were among the concerns. “We’re getting a lot of feedback from the residents about the beaches and if they are going to be ready,” Jeffries asked during the early May township council meeting. He said spreading the word and showing conditions as crews complete work could have a big impact on visitors’ confidence that there’s a beach to come down to. “We’re (Beaches - See Page 28)
–Photo courtesy Toms River Township Township crews were at work May 13 to rebuild dune walkovers in Ortley Beach. Township officials said the work should take eight to 10 days, enough time to have them open for Memorial Day crowds.

Featured Letter Utilities Board’s Confusing Trends Third-party energy sup‑ pliers for private homes, energy aggregation and subsidies for companies producing solar panels are all part of programs pro‑ moted 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 pipe‑ line that will increase the supply of natural gas. Nat‑ ural gas, like coal and crude oil is a fossil fuel that is becoming more costly both financially and environmen‑ tally. The NJ rate payer will pay the cost of building the pipelines despite protests by many and questions regard‑ ing the eventual market and who will benefit from this expansion. The BPU has not yet pro‑ duced 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 in‑ dividual 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 eventual‑ ly 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. Pro‑ jected cost to these vehicle owners is $40, $50, $60 and up. Why? The supposed answer: long waiting lines at current in‑ spection stations. The ques‑ tion 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 tril‑ lion 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 ur‑ ban sections in this nation. How is that working out? Violence and murders, pov‑ erty 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 do‑ ing 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 prop‑ erly kept. And finally, yes, we are worse off when it comes to division with‑ in this nation then before Obama took office. That is truly the fault of the liberal progressive left wanting to

make the personal lives of the citizens a political issue. Government is not the an‑ swer to all problems. In fact government maybe the root of the problems.

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 rec‑ ommended 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 deforesta‑ tion and wildlife habitat destruction. Last fall, England’s pres‑ tigious Chatham House declared that reducing meat consumption is critical to achieving global cli‑ mate 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 Advi‑ sory Committee has rec‑ ommended reduced meat
consumption and an en‑ vironmentally 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 bene‑ fits 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 pos‑ itive portrayal of Ocean County than the homopho‑ bic behavior of Freeholder Jack Kelly, now memorial‑ ized in “Freeheld.” Jack Kelly is a true em‑ barrassment 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 Chris‑ tie 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

Pinelands Are Being Assaulted By Illegal ATV Riders
OCEAN COUNTY – The Pinelands are under as‑ sault by crowds of illegal ATV and quad riders who are tearing up the pris‑ tine woods, leaving behind mounds of trash and endan‑ gering first responders who sometimes have to travel to remote areas to treat injuries. Unfortunately, social me‑ dia has attracted many more riders into areas of the Pine‑ lands that had previously only been known to small groups of locals. Now, with word spreading
on Facebook and high-reso‑ lution satellite images avail‑ able 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 Ware‑ town 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 confisca‑ tion of motorized off-road vehicles found on private property and restricted pub‑ lic land. Confiscation would send a strong message that peo‑ ple 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 esti‑ mated 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
Freeholder Joseph Vicari Ocean County is preserved open space, unavailable for building. By following the rules and working together, we can ensure that this valuable open space is protected and available for both us, and future generations, to safely enjoy.
From The Desk Of Senator Bob Menendez NEW JERSEY – U.S. Sena‑ tors Bob Menendez and Cory Booker applauded the Envi‑ ronmental 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 envi‑ ronment. The funding comes amid growing concern over the presence of high levels of lead discovered in the drink‑ ing water in several New Jersey public school districts. “I am pleased that the EPA has made this critical invest‑ ment to help New Jersey communities address their aging water infrastructure
$70.41M To Fund Upgrades To New Jersey’s Water Systems and make the improvements necessary to protect the pub‑ lic’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 environ‑ ment 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 infra‑ structure funding like this through the federal appropri‑ ations 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 (CWS‑ RF) and $15.81 million from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) programs, both to be admin‑
istered by the New Jersey De‑ partment of Environmental Protection (DEP). CWSRF provides low-interest loans to local governments for water quality protection projects to make improvements to wastewater treatment sys‑ tems, control pollution from rain water runoff, and protect sensitive water bodies and estuaries. DWSRF provides low-interest loans to local governments to finance im‑ provements to drinking water systems, with a particular focus on providing funds to small and low-income com‑ munities. “Clean drinking water and proper wastewater treatment
are fundamental to protecting people’s health, but aging wa‑ ter 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 biparti‑ san 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 Sen‑ ate Interior Appropriations Subcommittee, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Tom Udall (D-N.M). Sen. Menendez has also introduced the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Invest‑ ment Act, cosponsored by Sen. Booker, which would leverage private financing for large-scale water infrastruc‑ ture projects like replacing lead pipes. The bill has been included as a key provision in the federal lead and clean water package introduced last month by Senate Democrats.

Adult Coloring Lands On Long Beach Island 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.

Bill Clanton found inspiration from great land‑ marks like the Barnegat Light House, local wildlife, the shoreline and more. “Colorful Coast: Long Beach Island Edi‑
tion” can be found online through billclan‑ tonbooks.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.

DETACHED FROM REALITY
While serious problems such as retinal detachment (separation of the retina from its connection at the back of the eye) can occur suddenly and require immediate care, most people are unaware of its symptoms. As a result, they may not get the treatment needed to stave off permanent vision impairment and even blindness. When researchers surveyed a relatively small sample of patients to test their knowledge about eye diseases, they found that very few were aware of the symptoms or treatment of retinal detachment, acute angle-closure glaucoma, giant cell arteritis, or central retinal artery occlusion. These four diseases can cause permanent vision loss if not treated quickly and appropriately. The diseases have the potential to alter lives. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., our philosophy is to provide cost-efficient eye care to all of our patients in a compassionate and friendly manner. We offer treatment in all areas of eye care, such as retinal detachment. We pride ourselves on our specialty training and keeping up to date on the changes in medical care.

Trader’s Cove To Get Transient Boaters Facility
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Traders Cove Park and Marina will finally be completed when a long-awaited facility for transient boaters is built there. The township has authorized the receipt of bids for a Resource Center to be built at the marina to be located between the travel lift and the fenced-in picnic area. The Resource Center will have a lounge for sitting, laundry facilities, a restroom and showers, said Mayor John G. Ducey. The marina was developed through grants from several different sources, including the Barnegat Bay Partnership, NJ I-Boat, the Na‑ tional Infrastructure Grant Program and Green Acres grants, and some of the requirements for receiving the grant money include having facilities for overnight boaters, Ducey said. Funding from grants has been used from the very beginning, starting in 2005, when the township purchased the 11-acre waterfront site from developers who were planning to build high density housing there. A $3 million Green Acres grant was used to offset the $8 million purchase price, and the cost of the land was further offset by $1.5 million, when the county purchased 2.2 acres to create the adjacent Mantoloking Bridge County Park. The bulk of the work has been done at Trader’s Cove, but construction of the Resource Center was delayed by permit modifications from CA‑ FRA (Coastal Area Facility Review Act), and Superstorm Sandy. In addition, the building plans and its mechanics had to be modified to abide by FEMA flood elevation requirements based on the new flood maps, Ducey said. “It will be a great asset for a great park; now we’ll have someplace for them to shower and get clean before they head off to wherever they’re going,” the mayor added. The marina has 560 feet of state-of-the-art floating dock space that can accommodate 16 boats at 35 feet length each; every slip has power and running water, and there is even a pumpout station located there. Right now, the slips are underutilized, but when the Resource Center is completed it will be a very busy spot, said Director of Recre‑ ation, Dan Santaniello, whose department oversees marina operations. “We don’t see too many transient boaters because we don’t have those amenities,” San‑ taniello said. “Boaters who are using the intercoastal like to stop for showers and to use the restrooms in the middle of a long trip; it’s a beautiful dock, but who wants to stay there when they want to get off their boats to freshen up?” Instead, boats are bypassing Traders Cove for marinas that offer these amenities, he said. The dock is located in the calmest part of the marina, and it’s a prime spot for transient boaters since it is walking distance to the beach and a short ride to stores, Santaniello said. From April 15 until October 15, transient dock slips cost between $25 a night to $95 per night, depending on the size of the boat. The township has offered to lease space at the marina for someone to come in and build and operate a restaurant there. Ducey said there have been inquiries, but so far no proposals have been announced.

ISLAND HEIGHTS – This year’s Peto Biennial: International Juried Art Ex‑ hibition of Contemporary Still Life and Trompe l’Oeil at the John F. Peto Studio Museum brings together nearly 70 original two-dimensional and three-dimensional works by notable living artists from across the United States and as far away as Bel‑ gium, Greece and Romania. This exhibi‑ tion and competition celebrates the legacy of John Frederick Peto (1854-1907), the renowned 19th century American still life artist and master of trompe l’oeil (French for ‘fool the eye”) painting. All of the artwork presented in the show was selected by American art scholar, Dr. Thomas Folk of New York University. Folk served as the primary judge, eval‑ uating each of the almost 200 entries of contemporary paintings and sculptures submitted to the competition. The winning entries to the Peto Biennial are as follows: first place artist is K. Henderson with the painting “The Case of the Sulky Girl,” sec‑ ond place artist is David Furman with the sculpture “Still Life with Exacto Knife” and third place artist is Dennis Crayon with the painting “Diver.”
In addition, a recognition honor by Amer‑ ican tromp l’oeil master, Gary T. Erbe, was awarded to the artist Samuel Hung for his oil on canvas painting “Prince Albert & Spilled Gumballs.” All of these winning pieces are included in the 2016 Peto Bi‑ ennial: International Juried Art Exhibition of Contemporary Still Life and Trompe l’Oeil, which is on public view through September 4. The exhibition is made possible with generous support from The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation, Peter R. and Cynthia K. Kellogg Foundation, Richard A. Askoff, With Heartfelt Support of Garret Peto Ferguson, Gary T. Erbe, E. Steven and Bernadette Doyle, Eve E. Allison, and the Walmart Foundation. The museum is open from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. It is open daily by appointment for group and public tours from Monday to Friday. Admission for adults is $10, for children 12 and younger it is $5 and for members admission is free. Special exhibitions are always free with general admission.

NJ Blood Services To Hold Blood Drive
TOMS RIVER – New Jersey Blood Ser‑ vices, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply of all blood types, but especially O-negative – the “universal” blood that can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current
inventory of several blood types is running below the desired target level. “It’s simple: hospital patient demand for blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,” said NYBC Executive Director of Donor Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are always reasons but we have to overcome that for the sake of hospital patients who
need us.” “This is one of the toughest times of the year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for our dedicated supporters to roll up their sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide our hospital partners with whatever they need to take care of their patients.” Blood products have a short shelf life – from five to 42 days, so constant re‑

plenishment is necessary. Each and every day there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood products can’t be manufactured. They can only come from volunteer blood donors who take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit a donor center. To donate blood or for information on how to organize a blood drive, call toll free: 800933-2566 or visit nybloodcenter.org. The next blood drive will be held on June 9 at Ocean College Center, 1 College Dr., from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For those that cannot donate but still wish to participate in bringing crucial blood products to patients in need, ask someone else to donate, or consider volunteering at a local blood drive. Any company, community organization, place of worship, or individual may host a blood drive. NYBC also offers special community service scholarships for stu‑ dents who organize community blood drives during summer months. Blood donors receive free mini-medical exams on site including information about their temperature, blood pressure and hematocrit level. Eligible donors include those people at least age 16 (with parental permission or consent), who weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, are in good health and meet all Food and Drug Administration and NY or NJ State Department of Health donor criteria. People over 75 may donate with a doctor’s note.

Oyster Creek Returns To Full Power
OCEAN COUNTY – Operators have restored the Oyster Creek Generating Station to full power, following a planned maintenance outage designed to en‑ hance system reliability and efficiency in advance of the peak summer season. During the outage, technicians repaired and tested several pumps and seals that control water flow and performed maintenance
on a control rod drive mechanism. Many of these activities could not be performed while the unit was generating electricity. “The community relies on Oyster Creek’s electricity, particularly during the peak sum‑ mer months,” said Site Vice President Garey L. Stathes. “The work completed during this outage will help us operate at peak efficiency while meeting that demand.”
Cruisin’ Downtown Schedule TOMS RIVER – The once-monthly down‑ town car shows will commence the second Wednesday of each month along Washington Street between Main Street and Hooper Avenue. Cruisin’ Downtown will be June 8, July 13, August 10 and September 14.

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 ac‑ tivated your referral to a hearing care provider – a provider that they often select for you. In some circum‑ stances, 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. Audiolog‑ ic (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 ne‑ cessity 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 ar‑ en’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 hear‑ ing 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 recom‑ mend 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 di‑ rectly 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 cur‑ rent 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 732-818-3610 or visit gardenstatehearing.com.

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 de‑ rived from soybean oil, discussed below. What’s in your kitchen? Good oils that are high in Monounsat‑ urated fats: Olive oil – Excellent source of antiox‑ idants, polyphenols and essential fatty acids. It supports cardiovascular health and blood pressure. Coconut oil – I’m referring to the un‑ heated, unref ined, virgin coconut oil, which is healthy raw, or baked; don’t use super high heat. Please avoid “hydroge‑ nated 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 dress‑ ings 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 tempera‑ tures, 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 chemi‑ cal, 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 heav‑ ily 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.

hearing people are reluctant to rent, saying ‘this can’t be open in two weeks.’ … You need to tell them, ‘yes we’ve had a tough, tough winter but we’re going to be ready.’” That tough winter, township officials said, included spending $700,000 on beach sand after a January storm, and $92,000 to construct the new wooden walkovers. Township Administrator Paul Shives said that since 2009, the walkovers have had to be rebuilt three times. The south end lifeguard station, a project rebuilt from Superstorm Sandy, was also under construction during the off-season and for last summer operated out of a trailer nearby. But Public Works Director Louis Amoru‑ so said that while the coming days are the crunch time leading up to Memorial Day, the walkovers should only take eight to 10 days of construction. The work began around May 9, according to the township. The annual chores of getting beach-ready are also currently taking place, amid the special projects such as the walkovers. “We’re moving from beach to beach to beach. We’re doing one task, keep the one task going, as we move down the beach. We’ll create the openings, we’ll dress up the dunes, remove the fencing that was installed for safety, and do all that in phases,” said the public works director. The only variable is the walkovers, he said, but is confident that barring any adverse weather the project will be done. The con‑ tract for the project states the work must be done by May 27. “We’ll be in pretty good shape for Memo‑ rial Day,” Amoruso said. “We got facilities to set up, summer jobs we’ve been filling. It’s crunch time but it’s the same thing every year and we’re doing fine.” The South lifeguard building will be open‑ ing for Memorial Day, he said. The town has 38 lifeguards and seven stands, which

In addition to productions, Exit 82 hosts fundraisers throughout the year. “We give thanks to those who have helped this company succeed and look forward to a bright future,” Davenport said. “We are now in our eighth season and we produce three productions each year at the Strand and run a year round Creative and Performing Arts Academy for children at our studio space on Fischer Boulevard in Toms River,” Davenport said. This summer Davenport said Exit 82 will produce Walt Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” for two weekends on August 5 and August 13 at the Strand. “We will also be holding a summer workshop for children where the students will get to put on Disney’s Camp Rock the Musical in July,” Davenport added. “Exit 82 is a 100 percent volunteer-run organization and year round operation. It is maintained by a board of directors
will be staffed from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily in mid-June through Labor Day. While Memorial Day Weekend is seen as the start of the season, the real test to oper‑ ations is mid-June, Amoruso said. “The season really starts in earnest once school lets out in June. So we’ve got five or six weeks to really get the beaches in summer shape,” he said. Some things are left to Mother Nature. While the beach near the Golden Gull needed to be filled in with sand earlier this spring, the summer shoaling helps build the beach back up. “The sand bar is holding pretty well right now. Work we did a couple weeks back out by the Golden Gull has helped fill that hole in and we just got to keep our fingers crossed that the weather stands good and pulls that sand on the beach and we’ll have an ever nicer beach for the summer,” he said. Beach operations swell the township payroll to include 220-plus additional sea‑ sonal employees, including 50 lifeguards, Amoruso said. This covers the beaches, pool, summer camps and other seasonal activities. He said the labor for summer season preparation to parks and beaches is approx‑ imately 1,600 man hours. This includes the private beaches that have signed Township / NJDEP easements for the Army Corps of Engineers beach replenishment project, a yet-to-be-scheduled project that is slated for the entire barrier island, giving it dunes and widening the beaches. The annual, total cost for labor and materi‑ al for those annual beach preparation efforts is approximately $96,000, said Amoruso, not including the work for the walkovers special to this year and the previous emer‑ gency sand. “It’s a process. We get the lifeguard build‑ ings open up, we get the summer programs in place, we do the logistical support,” said the public works director. “Everything we need to get the summer tourism season up and running is taking place currently.”
consisting of 11 members. Each produc‑ tion consists of about 30 to 60 volunteers, depending on the size of the production. Speaking about the theatrical company’s recent production of “Heathers” Daven‑ port said “We knew producing a musical that is as new and edgy as Heathers would be a risk but we are so happy our audi‑ ences enjoyed the show. People are still humming the music and talking about all the twists and turns this dark musical took us through.”

Dear Joel
Il Giardinello
By Joel Markel
RISTORANTE
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 “per‑ fect 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 let‑ ting him “take the wheel” and not going to see the car. Two choices as I see it. If

it’s still pos‑ sible 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 inter‑ nationally, 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.

Distractions abound and may have you ques‑ tioning whether your current plan will work. In the week to come you will learn that perseverance will eventually be rewarded. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Thinking outside the box may miss the mark. The simplest solutions work the best as this week unfolds.

In the week head just go off on your own and follow whatever whims that tickle your fancy.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Fast Food: Quickly Cooked Cod Fillets Convenient For Family Dinner, Entertaining By Wolfgang Puck
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, tarragon, thyme and chervil, 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 fillets, 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 Parme‑ san, panko, 1/3 cup (85 mL) of the herbs, red pepper f lakes, salt and pepper to taste. Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy ovenproof nonreactive 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. Scatter the onion around the f ish. Pour the wine in between the fish 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.
