MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township Police Department welcomed its newest patrolmen, Conner Yatauro and Keith Douglas, with a recent ceremony in town hall. Mayor Kenneth T. Palmer administered their oaths during the event in the Municipal Complex Civic Center on May 31 in front of family, friends and police personnel including Chief Lisa Parker. Taking his oath first was Conner Yatauro, who has been a Manchester Township resident for 23 years. He graduated from Monsignor Donovan High School in 2010,

By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – Residents will see their municipal tax bill increase an average of $40 for the upcoming year. The Lakehurst Borough Council unanimously approved its proposed $4.06 million budget, staying under the state-mandated cap of 2 percent. The budget increased 1.49 percent, or about $47,000. The amount to be raised by taxes is $2.395 million. “There’s no changes from last year in the level of services,” Borough Auditor William Antonides said. The biggest increase was the state pension payments, which increased $25,000 from last year and are a state-mandated payment. “That’s really out of our control. The actuaries at the State calculate that every year and we’re sent the bill.” Health insurance coverage is usually a significant cost to municipalities as well. Antonides said the increase was minimal this year. “We are in the state health benefits program and there was a minimal increase this year,” he said.

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Citing more than 15 years’ worth of litigation already, an opponent of a redevelopment plan to potentially turn the expansive Her-

itage Minerals tract into a redeveloped town center warned more was likely possible. The Pinelands Preservation Alliance is in opposition to the redevelopment plan, developed

by the township’s Heritage Minerals Site working group over the last year. The working group reviewed uses, traffic and fiscal impact information, as well as drafts of the redevelopment plan. The original plan from the 2003 settlement called for 2,450 age-restricted homes on 800 acres. However, with the need for such housing on the decline,

as well as the negative financial impact the township faces over its abundance of senior housing, the township named itself the redevelopment agency and in April last year designated the Heritage Minerals site a redevelopment area. The plan has garnered controversy as it calls for a maximum of 6,543 homes. But Mayor (Vote - See Page 7)

OCC Softball Finishes Sixth In Nation

By Chris Christopher It was a memorable season for the Ocean County College women’s softball team. The Vikings went 26-13 overall. They won the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III Region XIX Tournament. And they finished sixth at the NJCAA Division III Tournament. The program was born in 1977. It was the

first time the Vikings won the Region XIX title and the initial time they qualified for the nationals. “Our team was very even keeled,” said Bob Mazanec, OCC’s seventh-year coach. “It never got too high. It never got too low. We rallied to win games a half dozen times. The girls never gave up. They were battlers.” Seven players won postseason honors. Soph-

omore outfielder Kara Molnar, a Jackson Memorial High School graduate, and sophomore pitcher Ashley Hussey (Toms River North) captured first-team all-region and first-team All-Garden State Athletic Conference honors. Sophomore first baseman April Szymczyk (Jackson Liberty), freshman second baseman Kurstin Binshedler (Pinelands Regional) and (Softball - See Page 5)

a shared services agreement with Bay Head Borough. The borough paid $109,300 and $92,400 for salaries and wages for finance and tax collection, respectively, last year; this year, Lakehurst will pay $34,300 and $75,400. The borough also banked about $96,000 that it can tap into within the next three

years, Antonides said. Last year, The Manchester Times reported that the average tax bill increased $98 per year. This year, the average home valued at $159,860—an increase from last year’s $140,000 assessed value—will pay about $40 more this year, from $2,663 to $2,702.

more than 230 applicants participated in the physical agility examination held at Manchester Township High School. This test consisted of pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, squat thrusts, and a 1 mile run. Those applicants who achieved a passing score advanced to the boxing component of the testing process. Approximately half of the applicants completed all phases of the physical exam successfully and advanced to the written examination phase in February. From there, the top scorers went before the Oral Board for extensive interviews. The top candidates underwent a thorough background investigation and passed medical, psychological and drug screenings. “This hiring process is one of the best and most extensive in the State of New Jersey. Our goal is to select the absolute best officers, upstanding individuals who will proudly serve our department and the community,” said Chief Parker.

sophomore shortstop Adelle Hickman (Jackson Liberty) won second-team all-region and second-team all-conference honors. Named third-team all-region and third-team all-conference were freshman pitcher-outfielder Marissa Stadtmauer and freshman catcher Stephanie Healy (Pinelands). Through the Region XIX Tournament, Molnar hit .548 (63-for-115). She set the school career record for home runs (seven), including six this season. She drove in 44 runs and scored 56. She added 10 doubles and nine triples and sped to eight steals in eight attempts. The former Jaguar is headed to William Paterson University. “She has a lot of our records,” Mazanec said. “She is probably our all-time leader in runs scored and runs batted in. She has a quick bat and can drive the ball to all fields. She has really good speed on the bases and is an excellent baserunner.” Hussey went 16-4 through the nationals to tie OCC’s single-season wins record. The owner of a 26-9 career record, she leaves with the highest wins total in school history. She was named the Region XIX Pitcher of the Year in 2016. “She is what I consider a true pitcher as she does not throw that hard,” Mazanec said. “She has good movement. I would say her out pitch is her curveball. She moves the ball in and out and up and down and gets the hitters off balance.” Among the greatest women’s athletes in OCC history, Szymczyk also starred in basketball and volleyball. Szymczyk, who will play

basketball for Rowan University, batted .545 (61-for-112) through the Region IX Tournament. She plated 52 runs, scored 30 and hit three homers and 15 doubles. Szymczyk and Molnar were among the Division III leaders in batting average. “I consider April a power hitter and a great defensive first baseman,” said Mazanec, who was assisted by Elise Weinberger and Mickey Minnitti. “She was a free swinger ‑‑ not someone who looked to cut down on her swing. On defense, she has great hands and is aggressive. She is excellent at fielding bunts and she can handle all of the throws from the infielders. She dug a lot of balls out of the dirt. She made three errors in 233 total chances.” Binshedler batted .419 through the Region XIX Tournament. She scored 57 runs and drove in 21. Among her hits were nine doubles, two homers and three triples. “She hit leadoff,” Mazanec said. “She was very steady. She had a lot of responsibility at second base and made all of the plays. She turns the double play as well as anyone I have ever seen. She got on base and got us started. She and Hickman made for a great double play combination.” Hickman stung the ball at a .521 clip (63-for121) through the Region XIX Tournament. She knocked in 28 runs, scored 52 and hit one homer and seven doubles. She will attend William Paterson. “She moved from second base to shortstop this year for the betterment of the team,” Mazanec said. “She helped set the table for Molnar and Szymczyk.” Stadtmauer was named the Most Valuable Player of the team’s best-of-three series against

Cumberland County College in the Region XIX Tournament in which she won both games, allowing one run in seven innings. Prior to displaying her pitching prowess, she was best known for her offense as she hit .434 through the Region XIX Tournament. “She was our third pitcher for most of the year,” Mazanec said. “She started in left field for 95 percent of our games. In the regions, our top two pitchers had difficulty, but she came in and shut things down in both games. We had one foot in the grave.” Healy hit .462 through the Region XIX Tournament. She drove in 24 runs and scored 20. She hit one homer, three triples and eight doubles. “She was an aggressive baserunner,” Mazanec said. “She was a good defensive catcher who

really took charge in the infield.” The Vikings also received contributions from sophomore outfielder Brianna Vafiadis (Central Regional), freshman third baseman-outfielder Bridgette Badalis (Roselle Catholic), freshman infielder Emily Dancisin (Pinelands), freshman outfielder Kristin Kolisz (Ossining, N.Y.), freshman catcher-second baseman Mackenzie Darmstatter (Barnegat), freshman outfielder Caitlyn Linstra (Lacey) and freshman pitcher Stephanie Havens (Jackson Memorial). Early in the season, OCC went 6-2 on a trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C. The team raised funds with the aid of the OCC Foundation, local businesses, families and friends. “We knew we could be good when we finished the trip,” Mazanec said. “We saw we had some power, defense and pitching.”

Kenneth Palmer said he believes the courts would not allow for that much development. The plan also allows for 100,000-squarefeet of retail space. The site is the former mining operation and undeveloped Pinelands, in a tract that stretches from Route 37 to the border of Toms River, Berkeley and Lakehurst and into Whiting – an area double the size of the Pine Lake Park neighborhood of Manchester. “It is an adversarial proceeding against Hovsons. That’s right, Hovsons…It’s naïve for any and all of you to think this is not adversarial. My words of wisdom to you are these: Look at who you are going to go to bed with here, because if you side with Hovsons tonight, you are siding with the devil,” Paul Leodori, a Medford attorney representing the Pinelands Preservation Alliance said at the planning board meeting June 6. He was the last to speak during the public comments portion of the hearing, to a packed house. He painted Hovsons as a wealthy, sue-happy company, listing incidents from the last 15 years where the company dragged municipalities and government agencies to court over the Heritage Minerals site. Seeking to change the settlement agreement is “giving them a toe hold, a foot hold, we’re going to let them in the door. …You’re letting these guys into Manchester Township, and that’s why it’s an adversarial proceeding. You’re looking at 20 years of litigation with Hovsons. They make the deal, and they

The Manchester Times, June 11, 2016, Page 7 break the deal.” “Pick your ally, and pick the right ally. Do not pick the wrong ally,” Leodori continued, saying the township should side with government agencies and the Pinelands Commission, not Hovsons. The impassioned performance drew cheers and claps from the crowd, but failed to impress Planning Board Attorney Edward Liston, who said Leodori was playing to the crowd, not the Board. Liston stressed at the beginning of the hearing that the Board could only recommend that the Council adopt the ordinance to implement the redevelopment plan. The planning board’s decision is not binding, and Council may choose to reject the Board’s recommendation. It is the Board’s job, Liston continued, to ensure the plan is consistent with the township’s Master Plan. David G. Roberts of Maser Consulting, for the township, concurred that the redevelopment plan cannot alter the settlement. The motion to recommend the plan was moved by board members Joan Brush and seconded by Elaine Baumeister. The Board, with William Barron absent, unanimously approved the motion. “The goal of the Town Center Redevelopment Plan is to promote the development of a compact, pedestrian-oriented Town Center with the potential for 24-hour activity, consisting of retail and employment facilities, vibrant mixed-use areas, open space and recreation facilities, and residential living environments that provide a broad range of housing types for an array of housing needs,” Roberts read from his

presentation. About one dozen persons spoke about the plan, including Leodori and representatives from outside environmental groups. With the exception of one resident, most residents who spoke were opposed to the plan. “My main concern is the ground that you want to build this empire on,” Whiting resident Laurel Errington said. “Is it clean? What condition in the soil in? And, you say there are two lakes? They have to be dredged. Someone has to find out what condition the ground is before you even entertain any idea of building. We don’t want another Ciba-Geigy, the way it infected the ground water in Toms River. … This whole idea, I am not for it. I think it’s wrong. One thing we could do is to clean up the ground, all the water, and give it back to the animals.” Manchester resident Raven Potosky showed up to the meeting with a petition against the redevelopment for Mayor Palmer, which she hand-delivered to him after her comments. “I see you guys have been working really hard since the last meeting to push for this plan. So you’re really not listening to the voting citizens of this town,

which is a disappointment to me.” Resident Liz Ciocher was the lone voice of support for the plan, though her comments did receive healthy applause from the audience. “I want to say that I am for any thoughts that you have to lower my taxes. I am 100 percent against more senior housing, because I know that will strongly affect my taxes, and I like listening to all the different ideas. I also appreciate that there’s many steps that you have to follow and any steps that need time for approval, that one step is approved, one step may not be approved,” Ciocher said. The Council can now accept or reject the Planning Board’s recommendations. The matter now proceeds to a Council vote, and the Council next meets June 13, though its agenda was not available by press time. Council had planned to vote on the ordinance May 23, but could not until the Planning Board approved it.

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.

Letters To The Editor 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. Ray Kalainikas Manalapan

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.

Lighting Improvements & New Hangar Coming To OC Airport OCEA N COU N T Y – Improvements to the main runway’s lighting system and the constr uction of an additional t-hangar to house planes already on a waiting list are planned for the Ocean County Airport off Route 530 in Berkeley Township. “The lighting improvements for the main runway will improve safety for pilots coming into and leaving the airport,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the facility. “And, a new eight unit t-hangar building to be constructed by the end of this year will help us reduce the current waiting list allowing more pilots to store their planes at the airport. “Whether it’s for public safety or to help our economic efforts, the Ocean

County Airport is an important service in Ocean County,” Vicari said. “This new t-hangar will be of no cost to the county and will answer a growing need at this facility.” Ocean Ai rcraf t Storage, a partner with county’s fixed based operator, Ocean Aire, will operate the new t-hangar, which will consist of a eight unit building located adjacent to the existing t-hangar buildings. “The county developed a land lease with Ocean Aircraft Storage that will allow for the construction of the new t-hangar building,” Vicari said. “Ocean Aircraft Storage will construct the t-hangar building at its own cost and expense.” A lease agreement for the t-hangar construction was signed May 18 with Ocean

Aircraft Storage. Under the agreement, the lease will be for a 10-year term with an option of two additional 10-year terms. In addition, the county will receive annually 15 percent of the gross revenue or $5,000, whichever is higher. “We are working in partnership with the fixed base operator to minimize any cost to the county,” Vicari said. “Ocean Aircraft Storage is paying for the construction and we will derive a revenue as a result of this new building.” The county has four t-hangar buildings consisting of 36 individual units currently located at the airport. “Because of the waiting list we anticipate the new hangar will be filled as soon as work is completed,” Vicar i said. Completion of the building is

expected in December. Vicari added the new hangar is consistent with the Airport Capital Improvement P rog ra m a nd t he Pinelands Memorandum of Agreement. “These hangars are very important to the airport,” Vicari said. “Many visitors to Ocean County own second homes here and are looking for a place to keep their private planes. “This helps with our tourism efforts,” Vicari said. Vicari added the airport, located on 420 acres in Berkeley Township, about five miles west of Toms River, provides a central location for a host of public safety services. The precision approach facility features a 6,000 foot runway, a crosswind runway and accommodates various aircraft, including

private airplanes, small corporate jets, the state Forest Fire Service planes, the Civil Air Patrol and Emergency Services aircraft. Since 1990, Ocean County has received more than $23 million in federal and state funding for airport improvements. “This airpark is an impor t a nt element of the county’s transpor tation program,” said Vicari. “It’s essential the facilities be kept current and at up-todate standards.” Vicari noted the current r unway lighting system is more than 20 years old and scheduled for replacement. “We are applying for federal funding for 90 percent of the cost of the replacement project and for state funding for five percent of

the total cost,” Vicari said. The project cost is estimated at about $1.6 million and the design work, funded also by federal and state grants was completed last year. The project includes the installation of high intensity runway/threshold edge lights and high intensity flush mounted runway edge lights. The county expects to go out to bid on the project sometime in June and the work will take about three months to complete. “This is yet another important safety upgrade to the airport,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who serves as director of Law and Public Safety. “We want to make sure the pilots using our facility are accessing an airport that is well-maintained and safe.”

Ocean County-Run Golf Courses Are Up To Par OCEAN COUNTY – Golfers are coming back to the two courses operated by Ocean County. “We have been seeing our numbers increase substantially based on a threeyear average,” said Ocean County Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation. “These courses are well-maintained and are once again growing in popularity.” Ocean County operates t wo golf courses – the Ocean County Golf Course at Atlantis in Little Egg Harbor Township and the Ocean County Golf Course at Forge Pond in Brick Township. Attendance at the two courses had been negatively affected by the recession and Superstorm Sandy. “I am pleased to see people in large numbers are again using our courses,” Bartlett said. “Each course offers

our residents a different golf experience.” Ocean County Golf Course at Atlantis, located on Country Club Blvd., is a par-72 championship course designed by George Fazio. Among the more challenging holes is a par-three sixth hole, where the golfer must negotiate a pond in the middle of the fairway in order to reach the green. Ocean County Golf Course at Forge Pond, located in the Northeastern region of Ocean County is a par-60 executive course tucked into a 300-acre conservation area. The freeholders said the rates are very reasonable, especially for resident senior citizens. Freeholder Director John P. Kelly said the county-run golf courses fill a niche in the county. “They can be used by everyone,” he said. “And, they are affordable.” Bartlett noted that rounds played at the Forge Pond Golf Course are up more

than 43 percent with more than 4,000 rounds played this year. Year to date, deposits have increased about 11 percent. The numbers at Atlantis are even stronger as rounds played have increased almost 70 percent to more than 5,000 rounds this year, and deposits are up almost 17 percent. “We are open and people are playing,” Bartlett said. “We have seen a good spring so far and we expect that to continue.” Bartlett said the Parks and Recreation department staff is always reviewing ways to create more interest in the county’s golf courses. In addition to good weather, other improvements including implementing Golf Now Tee Time Reservations, a global company that allows residents to reserve a tee time whether it is online, or on their phone, has made making reservations easier. “With this reservation

system, we are now much more accessible for golfers,” Bartlett said. In addition, some changes to the course at Atlantis are helping to meet the various levels golfers play at. “Forward tees have created a nicer round of golf for our players,” Bartlett said. “The changes are helping golfers play to their ability while also speeding up play. It’s better for everybody.” In addition, the opening of Cuisine on the Green, a restaurant that serves as the

culinary program for the Ocean County Vocational Technical School has been a draw for Atlantis. “This has been a beneficial partnership,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the county’s vo-tech school district. “This is good for tourism and it’s good for the quality of life offered here in Ocean County.” At Forge Pond, spring and summer golf leagues have attracted more play as has the golfer appreciation

card, which allows for one free round of play upon the completion of nine. “Our parks department staff does an outstanding job in maintaining the greens, the courses and also implementing creative ways to attract the public to our courses,” Bartlett said. “Our golf courses are true assets to the county.” More information on the Ocean County operated golf courses and parks can be accessed by visiting co.ocean. nj.us/OCParks.

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 –Photo courtesy Manchester Police Manchester Township Police honored those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the line of duty at the 25th Annual Ocean County Law Enforcement Memorial Day Observance. MANCHESTER – Manchester Township Police joined with other law enforcement agencies from throughout Ocean County on May 20 to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the line of duty at the 25th Annual Law Enforcement Memorial Day Observance. Last year, Cpl. Scott R. Thompson was honored at the event, with the addition of his name to the Ocean County Honor Roll monument at the Ocean County Police Academy. His name joined others who gave their lives for their communities, including Manchester Township Police Ptl. Robert T. Tobias who was struck and killed along Route 70 on May 17, 1975, at just 23 years old. During the 41 years since his passing, Eleanor Tobias has been active in honoring not only her son, but all officers who gave their lives. Tobias continues to attend countless Manchester Township Police events, as well as other local and national ceremonies honoring law enforcement. Most recently, she joined the Manchester Police Unity Tour riders in Washington D.C. for a memorial she called “unbelievable.” “As long as I have my health, I’ll keep attending these ceremonies. It’s out of respect to my son,” said Tobias. “He was a special person who always wanted to be a police officer. It’s

just what he wanted to do. He was very proud and loved his work.” That pride in Ptl. Tobias’ work was evident from his time as a student and continued throughout his career as a police officer. Eleanor Tobias said that his teachers praised him, saying that he was a thoughtful student who was a “pleasure to have in the classroom.” Once he earned his police officer job, that pride continued to show. Ptl. Tobias, whose father was an officer in Toms River, to be “meticulous” in keeping his uniform in pristine condition and representing himself and Manchester Township well. The bonds of the law enforcement community are unbreakable, and Ptl. Tobias and Cpl. Thompson are remembered by their brothers in the Manchester Township Police Department each day. Likewise, Eleanor Tobias still keeps remembrances of her son, including his police uniforms and a 1973 green Corvette — Robert’s dream car. She also keeps in regular contact with Robert’s fellow officers and is known as “Mom” Tobias by members of the Manchester Township Police. “All of the officers should be honored, and it’s great to see that they are honored,” Tobias said. “I respect them all to no end. Being a police officer is not an easy job.”

PTA Hosts Author Visit At Manchester High School

MANCHESTER – Visiting Author Cat Winters told students at Manchester Township High School that her books are inspired by historical events, but not by the big events we normally learn about. Instead, she is inspired by the stranger, more bizarre stories of the past as well as the history of regular people. “History truly is stranger than fiction,” she said. Winters is the author of several young adult novels, including “In the Shadow of Blackbirds,” “The Cure for Dreaming,” and “The Steep & Thorny Way,” and adult novel “The Uninvited.” –Photo courtesy Manchester Township Public Schools She appeared at MTHS courtesy Author Cat Winters speaks to students at Manchester of the Manchester Township Township High School.

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 assumption 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 reliance 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

Here’s To Your Health Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Sound Void? A sound void is most commonly defined as a moment lacking clarity in hearing or understanding; an empty space in one’s life caused by the absence of sound clarity. Sound voids usually occur in specific listening situations where an individual’s hearing loss does not permit them to detect or understand important sounds and speech cues. Individuals often find that sound voids result in tiring, frustrating and embarrassing situations. However you experience them – whether they happen during precious moments with your loved ones, critical conversations in the work place or in common everyday interactions – sound voids can detract from your ability to live your life to its fullest.

Do you often hear people talking but simply have difficulty understanding them? Do you sometimes struggle to hear clearly in background noise? Do you occasionally have trouble following the conversation in small groups? Do you find it challenging to explain your hearing situation to others? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be experiencing the perception of “sound void”. The term sound void was created to help explain the gaps that some say that they experience in their day-to-day listening lives. If this sounds like you or someone you love, you should consider contacting your hearing health care professional today.

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

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist 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.

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 property showing its boundary lines as well as any structures or other improvements on the property. In many cases, the answer is easy, because many mortgage lenders will 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 from neighboring 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. Having a survey will 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 property until the discrepancy is resolved. In addition, if, after you close title to the property, 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 survey. 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.

Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

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.”

Fighting Osteoporosis Through Physical Therapy by Michael Yorke

RE YOU ONE OF THE 44 MILLION AMERICANS SUFFERING FROM OSTEOPOROSIS OR OSTEOPENIA?

Through research, the medical community

has discovered methods not only to combat Osteoporosis, but also prevent it. In order to treat this condition, let’s discuss the facts. • Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become thin and porous, decreasing bone strength and leading to increased risk of breaking a bone. • During their lifetime 50% of all women and 25% of all men over the age of 50 will have an osteoporosis related fracture. • Fractures from osteoporosis are more common than heart attack, stroke and breast cancer combined. • Women and men alike begin to lose bone in their mid-30s. As they approach menopause, women lose bone at a greater rate, from 2-3% per year due to hormonal changes. RISK FACTORS: Age, sex, tobacco/alcohol use, vertebral compression fracture, fragility fracture, family history of hip fracture, medical conditions or use of medications that inhibit absorption of nutrients or contribute to bone loss. HELP IS OUT THERE: Over the past 20 years, treatment and prevention of osteoporosis have come a long way. Solutions can be broken down into 3 categories. 1. Physical Therapy: By far the most conservative treatment for Osteoporosis is exercise through Physical Therapy. With the correct exercise program, the human body has the ability not only to prevent the loss of bone density, but also increase bone strength via the S.A.I.D. Principle (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands). By effectively increasing the strain or

load on specific bone groups, we are able to facilitate bone mass development. Such activities must be specifically designed to stress bones in a safe manner. These exercises, in conjunction with manual therapy techniques to elongate muscle tissue and reduce compression forces on the bone, can drastically reduce the incidence of fractures. A physical therapist can determine if a simple exercise program can alleviate your symptoms. 2. Nutrition: Nutrition and lifestyle play a key role in bone loss. Individuals who are not receiving adequate nutrition (low calcium or Vitamin D) or an excessive intake of protein, sodium and caffeine are considered at increased risk. Interventions such as calcium or vitamin supplements have been recommended for many individuals, as research has indicated that 1200-1500mgs of calcium a day along with 7-80 IU of Vitamin D reduced the fracture rate in postmenopausal women by 50%. This is generally a conservative approach and may help in the prevention of Osteoporosis in the post-menopausal female. Research has shown that the body is better able to utilize calcium consumed in foods such as dairy products, oatmeal, tofu, soy seaweed, dark green vegetables, fish and some types of nuts. For those who are lactose intolerant (meaning they are unable to breakdown calcium into a bone building product) lactase drops may be utilized. 3. Pharmacology: One of the biggest developments over the past 20 years in the treatment and prevention of Osteoporosis has been in pharmacology. Initially, Hormone Replacement Therapy was the most common intervention. Currently, Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (such as Nolvadex, Evista, Fareston) are more commonly recommended for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. Antiresorptive medications or Biophosphates (such as Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel, Reclast, Fortical

and Miacalcin) are now commonly utilized in the treatment of osteoporosis. Biophosphates work by preventing bone destroying osteoclasts from digesting bone. The final class of pharmacological treatment is a bone forming medication known as Forteo. This is generally prescribed for those osteoporotic patients at high risk for fracture. Currently the FDA only recommends the utilization of this class of drug for 2 years due to potential side effects. SPECIALIZED TREATMENT At All-Care Physical Therapy, we specialize in the treatment and prevention of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia. We are one of the only facilities in Ocean County that have been certified in the treatment of Osteoporosis. It is essential that a physical therapist is aware of the risks of treating Osteoporosis and understand the most optimal therapeutic interventions to not only prevent the progression, but combat the disease itself.

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.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Cooking With The Kids: Old-Fashioned Pudding Recipe Is A Timeless Classic By Wolfgang Puck

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.
