276 DOGS DISCOVERED IN HOARDING CASE SUPPORT NEEDED FOR DONATIONS, ADOPTIONS
By Catherine Galioto HOW ELL – With costs about $20 per day per dog, the Monmouth County SPCA is seeking donations after responding to a “historical hoarding event” to rescue 276 dogs. With officials calling it a grueling 15 hours, the next day the 276 dogs were resting quietly after SPCA, police and other agencies responded to a Bennett Road home on June 3 with “deplorable conditions.” The agency expects that after rehabilitation, the dogs – who are mostly smaller breeds – will be available for adoption in one to two weeks. The amount of aid has been extraordinary, said the SPCA, but more help is needed. That includes monetary donations in order to provide vaccinations, microchips, spay/ neuter surgeries, food, shelter and general compassionate care to the dogs. To donate, visit bit. ly/22Ffg4o, or checks can be mailed to MCSPCA, Howell Case, PO Box 93, Eatontown NJ 07724. Three agencies are housing the dogs, and for the more than 100 in the MCSPCA’s care, the
group is looking for foster homes, saying the dogs have a much easier time adjusting to their new surroundings in a home environment rather than in a shelter. If you are
able to foster a dog, email Fostering@monmouthcountyspca.org The influx of dogs also means a greater need for shelter items. The MCSPCA is in need of blankets,

New Principal For Land O’Pines Elementary
By Charles Daye HOWELL – Land O’Pines w i l l h ave a new principal for the comi n g s c h o o l Sandra DeYonker year. With the Retiring Land retirement of O’Pines Principal Sandy DeYonker, the school board approved Dheranie Suarez to move into the spot effective August 1. Suarez will transfer from her role as Middle School South vice principal to become Land O’Pines Elementary School principal. Howell Township’s Board of Education voted unanimously on May 25 to approve the transfer. President Timothy O’Brien said they were “very lucky” to have Suarez. “Another very rewarding part of the job is being part of the process of recognizing exceptional leadership in our district as individuals’ progress in their careers. Through that demonstrated leadership and quality, ascend to new positions within our district,” said O’Brien. Superintendent Joseph Isola shared O’Brien’s enthusiasm saying “her experience speaks for itself.” He said this is “the opportunity for an outstanding candidate to lead an outstanding school and I’m very excited that Ms. Suarez is part of the leadership table in coming years,” said the superintendent. “I know you’ve (Suarez) worked hard for this school district

Adoption needs will also be great, but that process is about one to two weeks away, said the shelter. The dogs need to be medically cleared, spayed/neutered, and assessed behaviorally before they will be ready to meet potential adopters. The agencies assisting the response include: St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, Associated Humane Tinton Falls, Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office, Howell Township Police and its Police EMS Division, Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and MONOC.

and this is well deserved.” At the middle school, Suarez’ vice principal role included duties as the supervisor of professional development: staff development, mentoring and new staff orientation. The school district underwent a restructuring this time last year that shuffled principals and vice principals around as it transitioned to the primary-elementary-middle school structure from one that was elementary-middle school grade bands.

tion. When the Monmouth County SPCA Law Enforcement Division realized that we were facing an historical hoarding event, we knew that we would need to call on all our partners in animal welfare, law enforcement and emergency responders,” Licitra said, adding the response came within minutes, coordinating multiple agencies between nonprofits, police and animal rescue organizations. “As the Chief and Executive Director, I could not be more proud of the tremendous effort and success of every single person who came together, dropped what they were doing and worked endlessly to bring this event to fruition,” he said. “This grand gesture of thanks is not only meant to all of the people who were on the scene of this event, but to all of our staff and volunteers back at the shelter who provided support that was as crucial to our success.” For more infor mation, contact St. Hubert’s at 973-377-7094, the Associated Humane Society of Monmouth at 732-922-0100 or the Monmouth SPCA at 732-542-0040 or adoptions@monmouthcountyspca.org.
out from the rest to Moretti. The first was senate bill 1381, which refers to the school nursing certifications and how they are eliminating certain parts of the requirements like the college supervisory nurse practicum. “They intend that these changes will simplify the certification. The NJ School Board association expressed concern, (and) want to evaluate the situation before they make a final decision,” said Moretti. Moretti shared his concern over bill S742 which “requires that if a school building is equipped with video surveillance that is capable of wireless streaming live video to a remote location; they must enter into a memorandum of understanding with the local law enforcement authority giving the authorities the ability to activate the equipment to view live streaming videos,” he said. “I don’t know how we feel about that” after reading the bill.

The total cost to purchase the development rights to the Thompson Farm was $1,158,268.

C ommentary Letters To The Editor
Featured Letter Mind The Wage Gap Although families depend on women’s earnings, those earnings have still not caught up with men’s. The wage gap not only persists at different levels of education but becomes larger with each level. Women with a graduate degree earn only 70 percent of what similar men earn. Working women of all ages continue to encounter attitudes and business practices that arbitrarily limit their employment opportunities and earning power. These practices can jeopardize their financial security, both while working and in retirement. A woman who works fulltime over a 40-year period loses $435,480 in lifetime income (in today’s dollars) due to the wage gap. The typical woman needs to
work 11 years longer than a man to achieve accumulated income parity. The income gap translates directly to lower income from Social Security and pensions – since those benefits are determined by wage history, disadvantaging women and their families through retirement. This income gap hampers the capacity of women workers to save for retirement. And since women typically live longer than men, savings often must be stretched across more years of retirement. AARP urges Governor Christie to sign S992 into law to help women and their families. Evelyn Liebman AARP New Jersey Volunteer

Mankind Can’t Achieve Peace I have lived my life for three-quarters of a century and there’s one thing mankind can’t achieve. Why? Since the very beginning of mankind, men have been warring with each other. Again, why? It would seem to me that man would want peace. We all know that there are no winners to war, only losers. With money spent on war in my lifetime, if man had spent it on peace rather than war, we would all be living in clover. Everyone would have a roof over their head and food on the table. Instead of spending money on war machine, this money could have gone into medicine and research. Instead of man spending his time plotting war, the same time could have been spent on planning peace. At the rate we are going, mankind will end up blowing themselves and the earth into oblivion. Why is it that we find it so hard to befriend our neighbor, and instead become jealous of others? Why can’t we love each other? Why should our children be subjected to war and the devastation it brings? We were given a great gift called the Earth. All we seem able to do is destroy it. Why is it so difficult to live in peace? Why don’t we spend our time on love instead of hate? We were given a brain in order to think things out. War brings destruction and need. What kind of people start these wars and why do people pay attention to them? Where are our great leaders and why
can’t they put a stop to wars? I know this letter sounds like a fairy tale, but I still believe in fairy tales. I hope we will see the light before it is too late. We would have it all, if we just learned to live in peace. I hope you all join in with my fairy tale, for I believe it! “Peace to all mankind.” Herb Greenberg, Jr. Brick
Throwing More Money Into A Hole I just read a story regarding Toms River, who dropped another $200,000 into its barrier island beaches. A picture shows a truck dumping sand in front of a home on the beach. The ocean was lapping at the home. The town had two front-end loaders taking sand from other parts of the beach and filling the hole. When are the politicians and engineers going to learn that you cannot stop beach erosion just by dumping sand? This winter the town dumped $500,000 in dune sand which the ocean removed after one nor’easter. They need to build jetties to break the waves off shore and break up the inshore current so the sand is deposited on the beach. Again, I point to Manasquan and Shark River Inlets. When I first moved here 40 years ago there was water on both sides of the south jetties. Today the beach is out to the jetties’ point and the sand is filling in the inlets. Is nature telling you something? Captain Robert M. Silva Toms River

Eliminating The Property Tax When you discover that property taxation is a form of legal thievery and the government services you need can be done by yourself in cooperation with others who need the same services, you move in that direction. Converting from the property tax to do-it-yourself government is a gradual movement. The first step is to drop the tax levy each year by at least 2 percent through the use of surplus money, the sale of land, buildings, and goods deemed not necessary by the taxed citizens along with eliminating unnecessary taxpayer jobs that are currently vacant. And the second step is to fill the needed government jobs that become vacant with your own labor and goods in cooperation with other citizens having the same needs. Paying tax dollars to others to do the job in the form of salaries, fees, and benefits amounts to forced cooperation [socialism] or slave labor. The long-held lie that there will always be taxation is dismissed by the truth that we are the property of our creator and not of any government. And from the creator we receive our freedom.

Deny Heritage Minerals Plan Manchester Township Mayor Kenneth Palmer discussed the township’s redevelopment proposal for the Heritage Minerals Site at a recent council meeting. Ordinance #16-022, which the council introduced without discussion on May 9 and initially scheduled for final approval just two weeks later on May 23, would give tremendous power to the developer and, once adopted, cannot be undone. The ordinance would adopt the Manchester Heritage Town
Center Redevelopment Plan and amend the township’s zoning map to reflect the Redevelopment Plan. This massive development plan is bad for Manchester and bad for the Pinelands. Manchester’s leaders have not given the public enough time to provide input about this proposal which would bring vast changes to the town. If it weren’t for the public outcr y, Cou ncil would already have adopted the Redevelopment Plan only two weeks after disclosing its terms. The Redevelopment Plan is illegal, because it violates a slew of environmental rules and a legal settlement agreement reached in 2003 between the Pinelands Commission, the Department of Environmental Protection and the developer, Hovsons Inc. Hovsons’ prior attempts to develop this site had resulted in years of litigation because its plans violated rules that protect environmental resources. The settlement agreement permitted Hovsons to build 2,450 homes on 900 acres, would allow 20,000 square feet of commercial development and dedicates 6,400 acres as open space. The Redevelopment Plan would vastly expand the development and slash the open space. The Plan would allow development of 4,087 acres. Instead of 20,000 square feet of commercial you get one million square feet. Instead of 2,450 homes you get 6,543. The main positive the mayor sees in the development is making money to “off-set the increasing costs of running a town” through tax revenues. But there are obvious reasons why no one should rely on this development making more money than it will cost in increased municipal services. Even if it were legal, this Plan would be still be very bad for Manchester. The fiscal impact analysis produced to justify the plan is profoundly flawed. Here (Letters - See Page 19)

Arnone Report: Memorial Day Weekend & Tourism

It was the perfect setting to remember and honor those that have served our country, and those that continue to protect us today. We recognize those individuals who sacrificed to provide us with the freedoms we

I would have loved to have attended all of the parades throughout the county, but unfortunately I could not do so as several of them were held at the same time, so I attended as many as I could. I had the honor of walking in the Bradley Beach and Union Beach parades on Saturday, as well as the Matawan parade on Sunday. Monday was a very
busy day, as I attended the memorial ceremonies for the Freehold, Oceanport a nd Ocea n Tow nsh ips; and then walked in the jam-packed Farmingdale parade. The attendance a nd welc ome r e c eive d Memorial Day weekend at all the events was overwhelming. I hope you were able to catch a parade in you r area this weekend or visit one of ou r beautif ul beaches or parks. According to records, the beach-

Clippers Bat Down Bombers In Double Header
FREEHOLD – The Freehold Clippers faced off against the DiMaggio Bombers in their season opening double header May 29. With temperatures rising to 88 degrees before noon, both teams knew that they would be in for a hot day of baseball to kick off their summer seasons. The Bombers were the first to strike when Connor Walsh (Waldwick, Ramapo College) scored on a ground ball to the right side of the infield after blasting a double to the left centerfield gap, giving the Bombers a 1 to 0 lead in the top of the third. However, in the bottom half of the inning the Clippers put together a two out rally scoring three runs to take the lead. Clippers second baseman, Ben Varone (Marlton, The College of New Jersey) would single and steal second base. He then advanced to third on a single by Nick Ruscingno (Teaneck, The Jersey City University). Varone would go on to score on a wild pitch to tie the game at one. After another single by Clippers short stop Joe Baturgil (Freehold, Chestnut Hill College), two runs scored on a two out error at second base. A hard hit chopper took a bounce off of the Bombers second baseman’s glove and rolled into the outfield, giving the Clippers a two run lead that they would not give up for the remainder of the first game. The Clippers packed on four more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, with five of their first six batters reaching base safely. A single by Clippers catcher Harrison Preschel (Teaneck, Long Island University) drove in two of those four runs. Preschel went on to cross the plate later in that inning. However, the Bombers did not go down without a fight. The team came back to score runs in the seventh, eighth and two runs in the ninth inning, but ultimately would lose the battle, dropping the first game of their season opening double header 8 to 5. The second game started off in a similar
fashion with the Bombers jumping out to an early lead thanks to a single by catcher Austin Linder (West Windsor, Worcester Polytechnic Institute) driving in Nick Starpoli (Montclair, County College of Morris) and Frank McHugh (Pittstown, County College of Morris) who both drew walks to start the second game. However, the Clippers retaliated, scoring four runs to take the lead in the bottom of the second inning. Two runs would score on a sacrifice bunt off the bat of Clippers second baseman Ben Varone (Marlton, The College of New Jersey). An over throw at first base on what would have been a close play skipped past the Bombers first baseman and into the outfield to allow those two runs to score. The Clippers then went on to post three more runs in the third, making the score 8 to 2. As in the first game of the day, the Bombers scored three runs in the sixth inning after Nick Starpoli made a spectacular diving catch in left field to end the Clippers at bats in the fifth. But it was not enough, as the Clippers went on to win the second game of the double header by a score of 9 to 6. Clippers General Manager Rich Gawlack was happy about his team’s performance in their first games of the summer season. “I was glad that we had a chance to knock some of the rust off and put a lot of balls in play. These guys are all getting to know each other and are learning how to play with one another, so we are really excited to see what the season will bring.” These two teams will not see each other again until early July, but both teams will be returning to the field Tuesday night for their next games of this young season. The DiMaggio Bombers will look to pick up their first win of the season against the Clemente Baseball Club, while the Freehold Clippers will look to keep the ball rolling while facing off against the New Brunswick Matrix.

–Photo Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders (L to R) Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, Freeholder Gary J. Rich, Sr., with Colts Neck students Joshua Korn, Dominick Conoshenti, Emma Tucker, Kyle Gordon, Jamie DiMario, Freeholder Deputy Director Serena DiMaso and Freeholder John P. Curley COLTS NECK – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders issued proclamations to five students from Colts Neck High School who successfully completed internships with several county departments. The students are part of the school’s Center for Law and Public Service’s Senior Seminar Career Internship Opportunity. The rigorous program is geared toward highly motivated students with demonstrated interests and abilities in history, politics, government, law, volunteerism and leadership. Skills targeted for development include: problem solving, critical thinking, reading and writing, oral communication, research and organization. “The exposure these students received invaluable insights into the work freeholders do, how information services is executed, the financial components of operating a county with 630,000 residents and how economic growth is fostered,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Serena DiMaso, who coordinated the program with the high school. “These internships were not one-way, but an opportunity for students to learn and express ideas to the
county.” The high school curriculum stresses the values of citizenship, justice and service, which are the foundation for academic study. Students study history as it relates to the development of the United States and the evolution of world societies and governments. They also explore political thought, ethical philosophy and leadership theory, with special attention given to New Jersey history and civic affairs. “They were professional and are a credit to their parents and school,” continued DiMaso. “The cooperation between the school and each county department helped make the program successful. Students gained invaluable insight into how county government operates. Hopefully, this is a stepping stone for them to consider serving in some capacity of government.” Skills and knowledge are enhanced by active experiences in volunteerism and public service on the school, local, state and national levels. Career opportunities are explored during externships in government offices, volunteer agencies and law-related institutions.

Clippers Team Looks Forward To Season
FREEHOLD – The Freehold Clippers are among ten teams competing in New Jersey’s own collegiate baseball summer league, the Atlantic Baseball Confederation Collegiate League (ABCCL). It’s already starting to look like a promising season for the Clippers whose roster includes a well-stocked and seasoned pitching staff including quite a few returning players and upperclassmen. This year, Head Coach Rich Gawlak will be accompanied by assistant coaches Gerry Patrizio and Matt Zagari. Gawlak is not only the Head Coach of the Freehold Clippers, but also an assistant coach at The College of New Jersey, having played there himself during his college years. Previously, Gawlak coached at both the Penn Jersey and Harry Startzell Collegiate Baseball Leagues. Patrizio, a new assistant coach with the team, played his college ball at Rutgers-Newark and is a former Freehold Clipper himself. Assistant Coach Matt Zagari played at Mercer County Community College before transferring to Coker College in South Carolina. Zagari has been coaching at Gallagher’s Baseball Academy for nine years, and has been an assistant coach with Rich Gawlak in the ABCCL for the past two years. The Clippers will once again field players from their home town of Freehold and the
surrounding areas this season. These players attend and play for colleges and universities including TCNJ, Mercer CC, Stockton, New Jersey City, Rutgers Newark and Rutgers New Brunswick in New Jersey; Fordham, LIU and Bard in New York; Spartanburg Methodist in South Carolina; Chestnut Hill, Cairn, East Stroudsburg, Neumann, Albright, Keystone and Bucknell in Pennsylvania; Tufts in Massachusetts and Pamona-Pitzer U in California. Coach Gawlak has high hopes for the Clippers this season. He said, “I would like my players to continue to focus on improving their overall game so they will be ready to make an impact when they return to their colleges in the Fall. Last year, we had a really terrific season and finished second overall; [I] would like to continue that as well.” The Clippers home field is located at the Michael J. Tighe Park in Freehold, NJ. Formerly Liberty Oak Park, the Michael J. Tighe Park encompasses eleven baseball/softball fields, two lacrosse fields, a recreation center, playgrounds, a snack bar and much more. The ABCCL is a nonprofit organization that uses community support and volunteers for its continued operation. To volunteer, donate or support the team, contact the General Manager Rich Gawlak at clippers@abccl.com or ABCCL president Monique Koehler at Monique@ abccl.com, or 732-671-7009.

Golf Fore America’s Bravest Tournament
FARMINGDALE – The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation hosts its third annual Golf Fore America’s Bravest Tournament at the Eagle Oaks Golf Club in Farmingdale on July 18. On Sept. 11, 2001, Stephen Siller, a 34 year old firefighter, took his final heroic steps as he ran with his gear through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the World Trade Center to help
save others. Thousands of lives were saved that day, but this was not to be Stephen’s destiny. On that tragic summer’s day, Siller had just completed his scheduled tour with the FDNY, and was traveling to meet his brothers to play a traditional round of golf. However, he decided to go back and help others. Visit tunnel2towers.org for more information.

Featured Pet Adoptions MONMOUTH COUNTY – The Monmouth County SCPA has chosen its featured pets up for adoption. To adopt or for more information, contact the Monmouth county SPCA at 732-542-5962 or visit monmouthcountyspca.org. Photos courtesy Monmouth County SPCA. My name is Kiefer. I was found wondering the streets as a stray. I was a lost dog and I would love for you to “find” me and take me home. My shelter friends think I am around 1 to 2 years of age and that I am most likely a terrier mix, which means I am young and smart. I love to play and have lots of puppy-like energy, I can play for hours. I already know a few commands like “sit,” “down” and “come,” and I am ready to learn some more. I will gladly work for treats, so I’m easy to train. I do like other dogs, so if you have a dog that has a rough-andtumble-type of play style like me, we should arrange a play date. I also love
people and have made a lot of friends here at the MCSPCA. They say I am delightful and entertaining. Won’t you come be my friend too?
We are Oatmal and Waff les. We were found as strays in Atlantic
County and were transported to Eatontow n so that we could be promoted for adoption here. When we were found as “strays,” we had col lar s on and were so friendly that our shelter friends t h i n k t h at we we r e r e a l l y h a s prev ious owners that no longer wanted us anymore. We get along with everyone, humans and other cats alike, and are super friendly and affectionate. We both love to snuggle and play. Oatmeal is a male and Waff les is a female. Both of us are young adults about 2 years old.

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
All Of Us Have An Autoimmune Disorder By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
It’s scary to think that you could have autoimmune dysfunction even though you may not have been diagnosed with a disorder yet. I think we all have some degree of autoimmunity and if tested properly, we’d see it. Doctors think autoimmune diseases are “rare” and here I’m saying I think all of us have some degree. I’m not crazy. It’s only “rare” because the old-school tests don’t detect it until 90 percent of the tissue or organ is completely destroyed. Tests for autoimmunity are so backwards that until the symptoms are out of control and you’re in terrible pain or finally starting to become deformed, the tests don’t come back positive. Most of your tissue has to be destroyed or the autoimmune diagnosis is not given. Take Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease for example. These are both autoimmune diseases where your T cells (immune system) destroy your own thyroid gland. But people don’t get cured when they take the “standard of care” medications such as thyroid hormone, or when they undergo surgery or radiation. Why aren’t they cured and why don’t they feel better when their TSH and other thyroid labs look good? The answer is easy. It’s because none of these medications stop the assault caused by the T cells, which are still trying to kill other tissues in the body. There’s a fullbody cytokine storm of pro-inflammatory compounds making you miserable, even though your hormone levels are normal. Take any autoimmune disease, the best they tell you to hope for is remission.
When you have one autoimmune disease, you almost always have two or three or four. Your body creates antibodies everywhere it sees an invader. Why would anyone think it stops at your thyroid, your myelin, your adrenals, your joints and cartilage or your skin cells? Here’s why you could have multiple disorders going on. It could be a pathogen that’s gone undetected. It could be food, that’s a big trigger. Gluten is a hole puncher. You get gluten when you eat traditional bread, pasta and pastries, most notably from foods cooked with wheat, barley and rye. Gluten pokes holes in your gut, whether or not you have Celiac disease. It’s an additive. Gluten makes the “tight junctions” in your gut come loose, so various undigested proteins (corn, egg, coffee, tapioca) leak out of the holes in your gut, into your blood stream. The proteins aren’t supposed to be there, they’re supposed to stay in the tube, meaning your gut. Your immune system tags these innocent foreign proteins, which only leaked out because your gut has holes. These proteins are in organs and your immune system is poised to destroy the tissue wherever they lodge. It’s not just gluten, it could be corn, egg, dairy, coffee and so forth. It differs for everyone. I’ve written an ebook, specifically on the topic of food, and what foods to avoid. My ebook pertains to Hashimoto’s, however if you have any autoimmune disorder, it will help you. Sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen. com and it will come in an email.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Hanging On The Telephone
Dear Joel I ended a relationship with a girl that I had been dating for several years. It started out as a nice relationship when we were both in college. Ever since I broke up with her she has been stalking me. She bombards me with texts, e mails and phone calls. I keep on telling her to leave me alone but she continues to call. Can I hire a lawyer? Answer: You can always hire a lawyer. Finding someone to handle this case seems like a no brainer. Your letter leaves me perplexed. You don’t mention her following you to school or work. She doesn’t appear
in restaurants or stores that you are in. Everything that you included in her behavior has either a phone number or e mail address. The very fact that you haven’t changed either makes me feel that in some way you are inviting this behavior and perhaps subconsciously enjoying it. Making her go away is probably an easy fix if that’s what you really want. Take the time to analyze why you haven’t slammed the door on this one. It will be a lot cheaper than hiring an attorney who will probably give you the same advice.
If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566. “Home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”
Taptoe Concert Series Returns To Old Barracks Museum
NEW JERSEY – The Old Barracks Museum celebrates history, music and warm summer evenings with the fourth annual Taptoe Concert Series on July 8 and 29. The gates open at 7 p.m. and the music starts at dusk to magically and musically transport visitors to the 18th century. Reserved seating is available on balconies or visitors can bring a lawn chair and enjoy the performance from the ground. The Taptoe recreates a summer evening in 18th century Trenton, when the music and the guard would march through a garrison town signaling the time for the taverns to close their taps and for the soldiers to return to their barracks. Beginning at dusk, the evening will be illuminated with dramatic lighting by torches, candles and spotlights.

Bishop Ordains Local Deacons
NEW JERSEY – Deacon Christopher J. Colavito and Deacon Richard Osborn are among the six men who were ordained priests of the Diocese of Trenton by Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., on June 4 in St. Mary of the Assumption Cathedral, Trenton. The Mass of Ordination began at 10 a.m. and was livestreamed at DioceseofTrenton.org and TrentonMonitor.com. Deacon Colavito, 37, was born in New Brunswick and grew up in Toms River. He is the son of Ernest and Nancy Colavito and has a younger brother, Michael. He attended Cedar Grove Elementary School and Toms River High School East before going on to Ocean County College, where he earned an associate’s degree in liberal arts in 2000. He pursued studies in Rutgers University where he received a bachelor’s degree in political science in 2002. In 2011, he was awarded a master’s degree in American history from Monmouth University, West Long Branch. Before entering St. Mary Seminary and University, in 2010, he worked as a consultant for local, county and political campaigns as a field operations director between 1998 and 2003. He also served as an assistant to a commissioner with the New Jersey Casino Control Commission for five years and in the Manahawkin office of the New Jersey Department of Motor Vehicles for two. In St. Mary Seminary and University, Deacon Colavito has pursued a bachelor of sacred theology degree; a master of divinity degree and a master of arts degree in theology. As a seminarian, he gained ministerial experience through service to the New Jersey Catholic Conference, as well as in St. Barnabas Parish, Bayville, his home parish, and Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish, Moorestown. He was ordained as a transitional deacon in May 2015 and was assigned to St. Aloysius Parish, Jackson. Deacon Colavito was vested at his ordination by Msgr. William A. Hodge, pastor of St. Mary Parish, Gloucester City, Diocese of Camden. His first assignment as a priest will be in the parishes of St. Isaac Jogues, Marlton, and St. John Neumann, Mount Laurel. He also will serve as chaplain of Holy Cross Academy, Delran. Deacon Osborn, 28, was born in Long Branch and his home parish is St. Jerome Parish, West Long Branch, along with his parents Richard and Debra Osborn. He attended Frank Antonidies School, West Long Branch, and graduated from Shore Regional High School, also in West Long Branch. He attended Brookdale Community College, Lincroft, and Stockton University, Galloway Township, where he received his bachelor’s degree in history with a minor in political science. He will be receiving his master’s in divinity from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, Wynnewood, PA, and was vested at his ordination by Father Vincent Euk, pastor of St. Veronica Parish, Howell. Previous summer assignments include St. Theresa Parish, Little Egg Harbor; St. Ann Parish, Keansburg and St. Charles Borromeo Parish, Cinnaminson, where he continued to assist during his final year in the seminary.

Do I Need A Survey When Am Buying A House? By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates A frequently asked question by persons buying houses is whether they need to spend the money to obtain a survey of the property they are buying. A survey is a graphic depiction of the proper ty showing its boundar y lines as well as any str uct ures or other improvements on the property. I n many cases, the answer is easy, because ma ny mor tgage lenders w ill require a survey as part of the mortgage process to make sure that the property that they are mortgaging has no legal defects. But what about those cases where the mortgage lender does not require a survey or where the buyer is paying cash for the house without needing a mortgage? I believe that considering the price of a house, the cost of a survey, which typically costs between $550 to $700, is money well spent. A survey will show you where are the boundary lines of the property which you are purchasing so that you know whether the property matches the description as it was portrayed in the contract or on the tax map. The survey will also show whether there are any improvements such as buildings, fences, sheds, decks or pools (yes, we have had several instances where pools were built on neighbors’ properties!) on the property you are buying which encroach upon a neighboring property. It will also show whether any such improvements f rom neighbor ing properties encroach upon the property you are buying. If such encroachments
are discovered you can then request that the seller correct them before you close title on the property. In addition, all title insurance policies will contain an exception for any title defects which an accurate survey would have revealed. Hav i ng a su r vey w ill allow your title insurance company to make sure that the property you are buying matches the legal description on the subdivision map or deed which created the property. If there is a discrepancy, you may not be obligated to close title on the proper t y until the discrepancy is resolved. In addition, if, af ter you close title to the proper ty, a neighbor challenges the location of the property lines between the two properties, your title insurance company will be obligated to defend the challenge and may be obligated to compensate you for any loss that you may incur if your property is not as it was shown on the sur vey. Without a survey, you may have to defend an encroachment action out of your own pocket, which would cost far in excess of the cost of the survey. The attorneys of R. C. Shea and Associates have over 110 years of collective experience representing buyers and we always strongly recommend that the buyers obtain a survey before closing title to the property. We also recommend that the buyer review the survey before the closing to make sure that the property as shown on the survey is what they thought they were buying.

are just a few of the unrealistic assumptions on which its rosy predictions are based: The analysis looks only at predicted tax revenues 20 years from now – telling us nothing about the impact on the town’s taxes over the next 20 years. It assumes that 100 percent of all the proposed residential, commercial and industrial space is always fully occupied. And it assumes Hovsons will build and sell more than 1800 three-bedroom units as age-restricted. Here’s how we know this as-
sumption is not based on real business plans: The first draft of the analysis showed the town taking a bath, even on its other unrealistic assumptions, so they just changed all these three-bedroom units to age restricted in order to artificially eliminate a lot of school children – all without any legal or market basis to believe the town can make Hovsons keep these units age-restricted. Most suburban towns in New Jersey will not adopt plans like this anymore because they know the math doesn’t work out. Experience and studies have shown again and again that in New Jersey, with our heavy re-
liance on property taxes, big developments in suburban towns result in a net fiscal loss to municipalities. And the costs of new development, once built, just increase. Commercial development is often touted as the answer to offset the increased costs of services to new residents. But that is also a Trojan horse. Commercial development also brings municipal costs, and towns with lots of commercial usually have higher taxes than those with less. That’s only partly because new commercial ratables often displace existing ones – another point which the fiscal impact
analysis completely ignores. If Council adopts Ordinance #16-022, it would give all the power to the developer, and if the town changes its mind in the future there will be nothing you can do to stop this project. The residents of Manchester Township should demand that Council deny ordinance #16-022. Call Mayor Palmer at 732-657-8121 and tell him how you feel. Attend the Town Council meeting scheduled for June 13. Carleton Montgomery Executive Director Pinelands Preservation Alliance

Constitutional Officers Announce Poster Contest Winners
OCEAN COUNTY
FA IR
WEDNESDAY, JULY 13TH – SUNDAY, JULY 17TH Robert J. Miller Airpark • Rt. 530, Berkeley Twp.
ADMISSION – $7 | CHILDREN UNDER 10 – FREE WEDS, THURS: 5 PM-11 PM FRI, SAT: 11 AM-11 PM SUNDAY: 11 AM-5 PM
Amusements of America –Photo courtesy Monmouth County Sage Vespia Kerwin and Tommy Decker from St. Rose of Lima School in Freehold were among the winners of the “My County” Poster Contest. FREEHOLD – Monmouth County’s Constitutional Officers – County Clerk Christine Hanlon, County Sheriff Shaun Golden and Surrogate Rosemarie D. Peters – announced the winners of the annual My County poster contest, which showcases what the students like best about Monmouth County, including county government. “The best part of this poster contest is that our local fourth graders gain an understanding of what county government does each and every day,” stated Peters. “Their grasp of how we function and the services provided speaks volumes about what they learn in school and observe throughout the county.” Rules for the contest were: a poster must be on standard 22-inch by 28-inch poster board and have the words “Monmouth County” at the top of the poster in 4-inch letters with black marker. “I commend all the students who participated in the My County poster contest,” said Sheriff Golden. “A project like this helps students learn more about the great county we live in. Fourth grade participants continue to impress us each year with their knowledge of Monmouth County and the ability to relay their thoughts artistically.” “The design and content of a poster is up to a fourth grader’s imagination,” Hanlon said. “Their artwork shows originality and imagination. The fourth graders’ youthful perspective gives a unique insight on how they view Monmouth County. I congratulate all the students who participated in the con-
test, especially this year’s winners.” Prizes were awarded to the first, second and third place winners. Nine honorable mention posters were also selected. Each of the winning posters will be displayed for a period of one month in the County Clerk’s Office. The constitutional officers presented this year’s first place prize to Tommy Decker, who attends St. Rose of Lima School in Freehold and his classmate Sage Vespia Kerwin, who placed third. Zachary Pappas, who attends Middletown Village Elementary School, won second place and received his award on June 8. Those receiving honorable mention include: Alexa Schone, Ryan Hierl, Kylie Patmore and Madison Chiaro, all of whom attend St. Rose of Lima in Freehold; Amie Diaz, Marianna Ribeiro and Makaylah Saint Germain, who are students at Amerigo A. Anastasia School in Long Branch; Hansen Zhang, a student at Indian Hill School in Holmdel and Alec Holland, who attends Middletown Village School. All posters become the property of the Constitutional Officers Association and the County of Monmouth. The winning posters will be displayed at the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office, located at 33 Mechanic St. in Freehold. Submission of a poster grants the Constitutional Officers Association permission to display a poster in public places.

Toms River Surgeon Dr. Barbara Schneider Saves Lives, One Breast At A Time
By Joyce Blay Cancer patients have a “breast” friend in Toms River surgical specialist Dr. Barbara P. Schneider, M.D., F.A.C.S., radiation oncology. Dr. Schneider believes in treating the whole patient. “Breast cancer is not just a medical illness, it’s a psychological illness,” she tells a visitor. “Patients not only ask themselves, ‘Am I going to live?’ They also ask themselves, ‘What am I going to look like?’ While Dr. Schneider treats men as well as women, she maintains that women as a group react to a diagnosis of breast cancer differently than men. “Breast cancer is different from any other cancer because breasts are so visible and prominent in a woman,” Dr. Schneider says. “Breast cancer is almost a betrayal of who the patient is as a woman.” A patient undergoing treatment for breast cancer may not only suffer the loss of a breast, but the loss of her hair. Dr. Schneider is that patient’s staunch advocate, supported by a network of specialists that work with her to ensure that patients diagnosed with breast cancer receive the
most appropr iate plan of treatment. “I feel very strongly about my patients,” she says. “I give them a treatment plan that addresses all of their needs.” The years have only strengthened her resolve to continue that practice. Dr. Schneider began her academic career as a biology major at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. In 1977, she graduated from Albany Medical College. She interned at Bronx Municipal Hospital Center in New York City, then completed the rest of her 5-year surgical residency at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. In 19 8 5, D r. Sc hnei der brought her medical expertise to Toms River, NJ, where she opened a private practice. She has hospital privileges with Community Medical Center. Because Dr. Schneider is a woman, she of fer s the predominantly female breast cancer patients she treats a uniquely empathetic and compassionate understanding of their needs. She also offers a range of other surgical procedures in the treatment of various diagnosed conditions. While Dr. Schneider treats
many different conditions, the majority of her patients are diagnosed with breast cancer. Each breast is as individual as the person being treated, Dr. Schneider maintains. Her goal is to save both patient and breast. As an expert in the technique of oncoplastic surger y, which inc reases the rate of breast conservation, she has a greater rate of success than many other surgeons nationwide reported. Her local recurrence rate following breast conserving surgery is less than 1% compared to a nationwide rate of 9.7%. All patients are in good hands as soon as they enter Dr. Schneider’s office, conveniently located next to Community Medical Center. Dr. Schneider’s two experienced assistants share her philosophy, she says. They expertly assess each patient in order to triage their needs prior to seeing Dr. Schneider. Patients praise Dr. Schneider’s work and her results in comments posted online. “You and your staff were professional, compassionate and caring,” Gail wrote in her online rating of Dr. Schneider. “I’d recommend you to anyone.” Another patient expressed gratitude to Dr. Schneider for
Dr. Barbara P. Schneider, M.D., F.A.C.S. the results she achieved. “Thank you for 6 years cancer free!” Donna exclaimed in her online comment. Still another patient commented on Dr. Schneider’s warmth and understanding, as well as the quality of her surgical expertise. “I felt as if you knew me although we had just met,” Sue wrote in an online post. “You took all my fears, worries, and concerns put them on a table and tackled them BEFORE I had the chance to verbalize them. You do know the “being” beyond the human and made a scary situation very calm. I had no post- op pain and have never seen such a beautiful incision line.” In 2015, Dr. Schneider received the Compassionate Doctor Recognition from Vitals, a New Jersey organization that annually honors the nation’s favorite doctors based on patient reviews and ratings. For the past 35 years, Dr. Schneider has strived to help
her patients survive, as well as thrive, despite a diagnosis of breast cancer. The odds are increasingly in their favor. “A diagnosis of breast cancer is no longer a death sentence,” Dr. Schneider says. “One of the biggest reasons is the inc reased use of sc reen ing mammograms since the 1980s. Why should anyone check out at age 70 when they may have a good quality of life until they’re 90? At any age, a screening mammogram is the best investment a woman can make in her quality of life.” For further information, visit Dr. Schneider’s Web site at barbaraschneidermd.com. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Schneider’s office, located at 9 Hospital Drive, Suite C210, Toms River, NJ 08755, call 732-244 -2060. Office hours are Monday and Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The office is closed on weekends.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Cooking With The Kids: Old-Fashioned Pudding Recipe Is A Timeless Classic By Wolfgang Puck
Summer vacation has arrived for many families across the country. For others, it’s just a few days or weeks away. Parents everywhere are facing the challenge of what to do to keep their children interested and happy, not to mention well fed, during those long days. Sure, there’s camp to rely on, plus all sorts of sports teams or lessons, family outings, movies, museums, amusement parks and other attractions. But what about that downtime at home, when you want them to do something else other than watch TV or play video games, and they’re tired of reading? That’s the moment, I say, to turn your kitchen into a home cooking school for kids. Summer is an ideal time to teach your children about the pleasures of cooking at home. Tell them that you’re going to make them something they’d love to eat, and you’ll have their complete attention. That’s certainly what my late mother, Maria Puck, used to do when she wanted to get my sisters, my brother and me to settle down. The words “butterscotch pudding” were all she had to speak to get us to behave. Since her recipe for old-fashioned butterscotch pudding involves cooking a hot caramelized sugar syrup to make the butterscotch, it’s definitely not something where you want little helpers to be anywhere near the stove. But even young children can be encouraged to help you measure out the ingredients before the cooking starts, and then sit attentively nearby - but safely far enough from the stove - to watch as you explain what you’re doing. There are many good lessons to learn through this recipe. You’ll be able to show them how butter and brown sugar melt together and gradually turn into a rich caramelized butterscotch, how the tiny seeds from inside a split vanilla bean are the source of delicious vanilla flavor, and how cream turns the mixture into a luscious sauce. You can show them how egg yolks, “tempered” with some of the sauce so they’ll stay smooth and not turn into lumps like scrambled egg, not only enrich the sauce but also, together with some cornstarch, thicken it. You can also give them a quick lesson on how to make real whipped cream from scratch, rather than getting it from an aerosol can. And your young audience will also learn an important lesson in patience, since the finished pudding needs to chill in the refrigerator for several hours before serving. But what a reward you’ll have to offer for their good behavior the rest of the afternoon!
BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING Serves 4 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup (250 mL) loosely packed golden brown sugar 1/4 cup (60 mL) loosely packed dark brown sugar 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise in half, seeds scraped out and reserved 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream, divided 1 cup (250 mL) plus 2 tablespoons whole milk Pinch of fine sea salt 1/4 generous cup (65 mL) cornstarch 6 large cage-free egg yolks In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the butter, both the golden brown and dark brown sugars, and seeds you scraped from the vanilla pod. (Reserve the scraped-out pod, if you like, to put in an airtight sugar canister to make vanilla-scented sugar.) Place the pan over high heat and carefully cook, stirring often, until the mixture turns bubbling and dark brown, 3 to 5 minutes. In a measuring cup or bowl, stir together 1 cup (250 mL) plus 2 tablespoons of the cream and all of the milk. Carefully whisk them into the hot sugar mixture and add the sea salt. Bring the mixture back to a boil, whisking until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat. Put the remaining 3/4 cup (185 mL) cream in the refrigerator to chill. Sift the cornstarch through a fine-meshed sieve into a large heatproof bowl. While whisking continuously, gradually pour the hot cream-sugar mixture into the cornstarch. Return the mixture to the same saucepan and bring to a boil, whisking constantly, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Briskly whisk in a little of the hot butterscotch mixture to temper the eggs. Then, whisk the egg mixture into the remaining butterscotch in the saucepan; and, while continuing to whisk constantly, bring the mixture almost to a boil, about 1 minute. Pour the custard through a wire-meshed sieve set over a large bowl, pressing it through with a rubber spatula. Ladle the custard into four martini glasses or glass serving bowls. Leave the glasses or bowls at room temperature to cool. Then, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold, up to overnight. Before serving, put the remaining chilled cream in a large bowl. Whisk by hand or with electric beaters until the cream forms soft peaks that droop slightly when the beaters or whisk are lifted out. Remove the plastic wrap from the chilled puddings. Spoon a dollop of whipped cream on top of each pudding. You can even sprinkle a little brown sugar over the top if you want. Serve immediately.
