Mayor Vetoes Redevelopment Plan For Heritage Minerals

By Jennifer Peacock M A NCHESTER – Af ter council narrowly approved, in a 3-2 vote, the Heritage Town Center Redevelopment Plan that received the Planning Board’s unanimous seal of approval, the mayor and council announced it had withdrawn the plan. June 20, about a week after the council discussion, the mayor announced he had vetoed it. “Hearing the DEP’s concerns and those of our residents, I, along with the Town Council, have decided to withdraw the plan. As such, earlier this morn-

ing I vetoed Ordinance 16-022,” wrote Mayor Kenneth Palmer in a June 20 statement. The redevelopment plan, the fruit of a year’s labor of Palmer’s redevelopment committee, created by Maser Consulting and vetted for its economic impact by Richard Reading & Associates, proposes the development of 6,543 residential units that would support a retail “Town Center.” The plan also calls for a 5-mile boulevard to connect Routes 70 and 37. The plan has received little (Plan - See Page 7)

Vandalism Continues At Soccer Fields

MANCHESTER – The Lakehurst Manchester Soccer Association continues to see its fields and facilities victim to theft, vandalism and other destruction. Kathleen Peluso of the Lakehurst Manchester Soccer Association said it’s been just over 2 months since the last article detailing continued vandalism at the township soccer fields, and in that time Manchester Police have been called out multiple times to investigate continued vandalism. “During this time reported incidents include continued vehicles driving on the fields, attempted break in’s to both the (Vandalism - See Page 4)

but for the future endeavors of the Class of 2016,” Planter said to staff and parents in attendance. Then she addressed classmates. “I am amazed at the talent and potential in this room. In just one year this class has provided an example of what it really means to be the change. We put Manchester on the map! Adding an Honors English 12 course, having senior prom on a yacht and being bused to prom on luxury charter buses. We have top Shore Conference athletes in this class. Future engineers, lawyers, doctor, CEO’s, Olympic Gold Medalists, pro ball players. It’s all right here. Right now.” Senior Renee Larson was named the Class of 2016’s valedictorian. “In a world full of technology, with just one click of a button almost anything can be answered. However, the wise Plumeri once said, ‘You can Google for an answer. You can Google for a mate. You can Google for a career. But you can’t Google to find what’s in your heart, the passion that lifts you skyward.’ It is absolutely true that there is no proven formula to find this passion either. Magazines and television shows constantly

have articles or segments that tell you what lifestyle will bring in the most money and the most fame, but it can never tell you what is inside of you just waiting to come out and make its debut. Finding this fervor is a process of experience through trial, error and self-improvement. Some may find it traveling, at college, at vocational school, at home or serving in the military, but for others, it may be something completely new and unique; a path not previously traveled. Only each individual will know for themselves, and once you find this calling, it will be up to you to have the courage, fortitude and perseverance to just go with it. Somehow, some way, it will all make sense,” Larson said. Salutatorian Dillon Barry invoked Friedrich Nietzsche. “‘The end of a melody is not its goal, and yet, if a melody has not reached its end, it has not reached its goal.’ While endings are oft-undesirable, scary passages into the unknown, they are necessary because with each ending begins a new chapter in our lives. We will reflect nostalgically, and desire that which we once had, but concurrently we will look to the future and realize what there is ahead of us. We will realize the beauty in endings because

we will embrace the passion of beginnings. With each new endeavor, shaped by our past, our future will flourish.” Barry concluded: “So be yourself, don’t let the actions of others stop you, embrace endings, appreciate beginnings, love those who love you back, listen to opposing opinions, fight for what you believe in, don’t let things be handed to you, work hard, and always, always remember that life can only be what you make it.” The top 10 students: Renee Larson – Rowan University, 2.

bathrooms and snack stand as well as spray painting on the snack stand building and bleachers. In another incident, 2 youths were seen entering the snack stand and taking cases of candy. Unfortunately witnesses to the incident were unable to catch the youths who fled on bikes,” Peluso said. In the latest incident the facility equipment room was broken into by destroying the locked door handle. Once inside the vandals stole spray paint guns and spray paint that the club uses to line the fields, Peluso said. Spray paint markings were found across the fields, onto the Summit Park Basketball Courts and through the streets of Summit Park. Some of the markings on the soccer fields included explicit images where the youngest club members play. The Soccer Association is seeking the community’s help to stop this cycle of damage. Some of the incidents have been documented by those involved on social media sites. Witnesses can report anything seen or heard to any LMSA Board Member, whose contact information is available on the club website LMSASoccer.com.

MANCHESTER – During the month of July, the Manchester branch Library will show free movies on Wednesdays at 2:30 and 6 p.m. On July 6, the library will show “Race.” This drama is based on true events. It focuses on Jesse Owens, legendary black athlete, and his inspiring journey to overcome racism at home and abroad, culminating in his triumphant track-and-field performance at the 1936 Berlin Olympics under the tutelage of gruff Ohio State coach Larry Snyder. PG-13; 134 minutes. On July 13, the library will show “Hail, Caesar!” Slick Hollywood fixer Eddie Mannix is pressed into action when superstar actor Baird Whitlock is kidnapped and held for ransom by a mysterious group. Mannix races to quietly collect the ransom money without gossip columnists Thessaly and Thora Thacker catching wind of the scandal. PG-13; 105 minutes. On July 20, the library will show “Theeb.” This movie is a foreign film. In 1916, while war rages in the Ottoman Empire, Hussein raises his younger brother Theeb in a traditional Bedouin community that is isolated by the vast, unforgiving desert. The brother’s quiet existence is suddenly interrupted when a British Army officer and his guide ask Hussein to escort them to a water well located along the old pilgrimage route to Mecca. This film is in Arabic with English subtitles; 100 minutes. On July 27, the library will show “Gods of Egypt.” A young thief named Bek enlists the help of the powerful Egyptian god Horus to overthrow the vicious deity Set, who has seized control of the land. Bek’s true love has been captured, forcing the mortal rebel to fight back in order to free her and the people of Egypt from Set’s tyrannical rule. PG-13; 127 minutes. The Manchester branch Library is located at 21 Colonial Dr. Visit theoceancountylibrary. org for more information.

public support at both meetings, with environmental groups and residents alike decrying potential negative environmental impacts and the destruction of Manchester’s rural atmosphere, which many said drew them to the township in the first place. Some believe taxes will go up because of the development. The former Heritage Minerals tract, part former mining operations and part Pinelands, spans 7,000 acres, though about 1,000 is proposed for development. “As promised, since the Council’s approval of the Redevelopment Plan, we have sought input from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). They have indicated development beyond the 2004 settlement agreement’s 1,000 acre ‘footprint’ would be extremely difficult given the various environmental issues, permit requirements, and effects on threatened and endangered species,” said Palmer, in explaining his veto. The mayor also said that ultimately the process is an “exploration,” and he called the development of the massive Heritage Minerals tract “the single most important issue” for the town. As such, the deliberation and public opinion is very important. “As you know, Manchester Township has been exploring development alternatives on the Heritage Mineral Tract. Recently, the Township Council passed Ordinance 16022, approving a Redevelopment Plan that conceptualized a ‘Town Center’ project. I supported the Council’s decision to approve the concept because I believe the manner

The Manchester Times, June 25, 2016, Page 7 in which the Heritage Minerals Tract is developed is the single most important issue affecting Manchester Township’s economic future. However, as I have repeatedly and publicly stated, neither I nor the Town Council were in favor of 6,543 units. That much development would never be in Manchester’s best interests. We agreed to the Redevelopment Plan in order to start the process of vetting out a possible plan that was ‘right’ for Manchester Township.” The veto announcement comes after a series of meetings where the township council and planning board debated the plan and whether to approve it. The planning board did unanimously, recommending the council vote on it, which it did, at its June 13 meeting, with Councilmen Craig Wallis, Brendan Weiner and Sam Fusaro voting in favor, and Councilmen Charles Frattini and James Vaccaro voting against it. Despite large crowds who came to the meetings against the plan, a few residents and council members feel the development would benefit taxpayers by bringing in more businesses to share the burden and shift the town’s demographics so more state aid can pour into the schools. “If a town doesn’t have growth, you maintain all the residents you have that pay the taxes. …To me, a business is free money. They don’t give you students, they don’t cause you road work…it’s essentially free money. We don’t have that in Manchester,” Councilman Craig Wallis said. “We have two shopping areas. We have two gas stations. We have one hotel. And we have some little strip mall stuff.” Expenses to run a

government and schools go up, he said. “If you don’t have any growth whatsoever, that means where is all that [tax money coming from]?” Council President James Vaccaro, who sits on the planning board and approved the plan there, rejected adopting the redevelopment plan at the June 13 meeting. Vaccaro spoke to The Manchester Times after that meeting. “At the Planning Board level I was evaluating the project and hearing the testimony and seeing what was being shown to that Board. And I didn’t want to influence the Planning Board members and I wanted to hear what the public had to say. My objective was to move it to Council and let them move on it and now see the project because they weren’t privy to a lot of the details,” Vaccaro said. “I didn’t want to signal a direction.” Vaccaro continued: “I know we have to do something. The Council and I always want to make a better Manchester. So I will continue to explore and reevaluate the redevelopment options every aspect at each stage.” Councilman Charles Frattini also voted against the plan. “I’ve listened to both the pros and the cons, and I think I’m about to upset some of my colleagues here…I have not heard a comment saying there is an urgent need at this time. …I will vote no,” Frattini said. He made a motion to disapprove, but the motion died. Councilmen Brendan Weiner and Wallis, along with Council Vice President Samuel Fusaro, approved the plan. Fusaro spoke to The Manchester Times after the June 13 meeting on his thoughts on the project.

Council’s approval of the plan doesn’t allow any development to take place, he said. Rather, it opens discussions among the county and state and other agencies to amend the 2003 agreement which allowed 2,450 age-restricted homes on 1,000 of 7,000 acres of the Heritage Minerals site. “Currently, there are at least six approved age-restricted developments that have either not started or have stopped building due to the down swing in sales of age restricted homes. Any additional age-restricted housing at this time would just further overload the market, and in my opinion hurt resales in all of our existing communities. The worst scenario would be that a significant increase in age-restricted development would impact the amount of state aid we receive for Manchester’s schools, and could actually result in Manchester losing some or all of the roughly $8 million in state school funding,” Fusaro said. He added: “…Perhaps the most concerning is that new development has nearly ceased within our town. Outside of the Heritage tract there are very few developable properties left in Manchester of five acres or greater. Without new development, taxes will continue to grow, if only to keep pace with salaries, medical benefits, increasing utility costs, and the endless state mandates and reduction in state funding for both the Township and our schools. Without new growth, this burden will fall on our current residence. “In my opinion, Council would not be performing its responsibilities if we did not attempt to see what other options may be available,” Fusaro said.

Featured Letter Chronic Lyme Disease Needs To Be Addressed Last month was Lyme D i s e a s e Aw a r e n e s s Month. There were many articles concerning prevention and how to look for ticks. Where were the articles about treatment and local doctors who can treat long term Lyme disease? Where in the shore area can you find a medical team specializing in the treatment of Lyme disease. Try calling Southern Ocean Medical Center and ask for an LLMD (Lyme Literate Medical Doctor). None are available. I am 89 years old and was infected with Lyme disease 25 years ago. I had no visible signs of a tick bite. One morning I could not get out of bed. A blood test from Igenex Lab in California confirmed I had Lyme disease. O n ly a n LLM D is

knowledgeable enough to treat this effectively. If diagnosed early enough, antibiotics administered by local doctors usually give satisfactory results. Because I was not diagnosed early enough, I am now suffering, along with many others, a condition called PTLS, Post Treatment Lyme Syndrome, as identified by Columbia University Lyme Research Center. Symptoms of PTLS include chronic fatigue syndrome, neuropathy, hand tremors, brain fog, extreme muscle weakness, joint pain, tinnitus, and other debilitating conditions. As of today, there is no known cure for Lyme disease. For further information, please visit lymedisease.org/ lyme-basics/lyme-disease/ chronic-lyme. H.J. Magierski Little Egg Harbor

Letters To The Editor Fort Monmouth Not Jersey’s The Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority is a fraudulent colonial entity that views the former U.S. Army base as part of the State of New Jersey. In 1778, during the Revolutionary War the U.S. government promised the Lenape that if they helped fight to end British rule, the Lenape would be given sovereign statehood in New Jersey. As of 2016, the U.S. government has yet to hold up their end of the deal there is not a single reservation even here. Fort Monmouth is Native American land, the rightful property of the Lenape Nation, and the FMERA lacks clear title. The Lenapes were subject to broken promises, coupled with forced exile to the Mid-western U.S. and Canada. Bring the Lenape home. Eric Hafner Toms River

Where Is True Leadership? Have you ever seen a time when journalists have been so obviously biased? CNN is obviously to the left and FOX is to the right – isn’t there room for some middle ground here? Their opinions are what should be in Letter to the Editor. Just the facts ma’am, just the facts. Actually, I think that the American people are not too crazy about either of these candidates. One with a history that has too much history to it, and the other is bullying other people. So it’s no wonder other candidates dropped out. Mr. John Kasich is a good and decent God-fearing man who was simply over-

whelmed by the whole thing. Obviously he was my choice. Nonetheless, I think we are all sick of the political nonsense going on, and the rest of the world thinks we are the laughing stock because of it and we are. Where is true leadership? We are hungry for it – real, true leadership, not promises not to be kept! Promises are easy in politics because very few people remember after the election what they were... God help us one and all, and may God bless America. We all need to pray for the right person to lead this nation forward, out of debt and into respect once again. Bette Kooreman Whiting

“Roots” Remake Ill-Timed

I was saddened and disturbed to see that The History Channel decided to begin airing its remake of the slavery saga “Roots” on Memorial Day. I was a big fan of the original “Roots” (in 1977), more on that later, but let’s talk about the “roots” of Memorial Day for a minute. Originally, Memorial Day was called Decoration Day and was a time to honor the fallen of the Civil War, a war fought to end slavery. If The History Channel is really about history, they would not desecrate Memorial Day by airing the beginning of the remake of a miniseries about the origins of slavery, itself. It totally negates the very rationale for the holiday! As you yourself said in your May 28 Editorial, Memorial Day is to “pay tribute to those who have been killed in the line of duty, to the sons and daughters of America who fought and died for our independence.” I would add that it is a day when

men of all races who died to get and keep us free are honored, not a day to dwell on those who were sinfully enslaved, but later freed. The History Channel, however, appears to suddenly believe that Memorial Day is an apropos time. The 1977 version of “Roots” was not only (pardon the pun) groundbreaking, but it was eye-opening, edifying and needful at the time. I loved it, and it had a terrific cast which cannot be outdone by the one announced for the remake. Here’s why I feel a “do-over” is a very bad idea (in addition to the disrespecting of Memorial Day): This version comes as President Obama, whose very election was supposed to move race relations forward and help us heal from our tragic past, is soon to leave office. For The History Channel to take us back to slavery in the 1700s at this time, then, is almost an admission that his “history making” Presidency was a complete and total failure. We are not only going backward almost 40 years to “dig up” America’s “Roots,” but we are going hundreds of years backward to pick at old wounds that Obama’s election was supposed to heal once and for all. We are advertising to the entire world (again) that America is headed in the wrong direction. “Actions speak louder than words,” the “Roots” remake admits visually what “we” won’t admit verbally because of Political Correctness. But is this what we want the world to see? Very sadly, we live in a time of extremely strained race relations. Not only is Memorial Day the day when we are supposed to remember, and honor, those who died in the service of our country but it is also considered “The First Day of Summer.” Strained race relations, warm summer weather and the careless reopening of the wounds of slavery could easily see “Roots” turning into “Riots.” The original “Roots,” in 1977, was first aired in January. The History Channel should have put this new version on in Black History Month, (February), frankly. Does President Obama want to see more riots before he leaves office? Does The History Channel want this? In 1977, race relations were relatively tranquil. They are not tranquil, here in 2016. Do we wish to provoke more anger this summer, doesn’t America have enough? Airing the “Roots” remake on Memorial Day is just as disre-

spectful to those (of all colors) who died in the service of our great nation as it would be disrespectful of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to debut a World War II marathon on his birthday. Perhaps The History Channel (and Lifetime, and A & E, concurrent partners in this “Roots” fiasco) wish they could rename Memorial Day.......”Desecration Day”? That’s what they’ve done, either knowingly or unknowingly... they’ve desecrated the holiday. Chet Jelinski Whiting

Gag Rule Would Cause Suffering America is known for the good it does in the world. We export aid, medicine and technology to undeveloped countries as well as providing better healthcare, education and better working conditions. Our Congressman, Chris Smith, is attempting to undermine all the good we do by imposing a permanent and cruel “Gag rule” on women’s health in developing countries. The Gag rule causes unimaginable suffering of women in these countries. Access to contraception and family planning reduces unintended pregnancy, reduces maternal and child deaths, HIV/ AIDS and unsafe abortion. The World Health Organization data shows that 800 women in developing nations die each day from pregnancy or childbirth related causes. An estimated 50,000 adolescent mothers and more than 1 million infants die yearly because the girls are not physically ready for childbearing. The Gag Rule withdraws American Funding for Contraceptives if the clinic also provides information about abortion, even if medically needed and paid for with their own non-U.S money. The Gag Rule forced clinic closures and interferes with the health and safety of 215 million women needing access to contraception. American aid should not be accompanied with unfair rules that control women causing them to suffer and die. Congressman Smith can help reduce unintended pregnancy, save the lives of women and babies, reduce abortion and help suffering women by supporting women’s health and by dropping the “Gag rule.” Congressman Smith leads the Anti Choice Movement in Congress as Chair of the Pro Life Caucus.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

From The Desk Of Manchester Councilmen Sam Fusaro And James Vaccaro MANCHESTER – The first five months of this year have been extremely busy at Town Hall with the Mayor and Town Council working together on numerous items and projects. These projects include approving new contracts for all township employees, adapting this year’s budget and passing a no-knock ordinance, which prohibits vendors

OCEA N COU N T Y – Ocean County off icials say that while the state’s criminal justice bail reform may have good intentions, it’s the price tag that will be passed along to taxpayers that has them very concerned. Citing the impact the downturn in the economy a nd Superstor m Sa ndy has had on the county’s finances, officials voiced disappointment that the mandated bail reform program comes with no financial help from the state for implementation. “We can’t print money like the federal government nor should we have to impose upon our taxpayers to fund the state’s criminal justice reform,” said Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who serves as liaison to the Department of Finance. New Jersey voters, in the November 2014 general election, approved an amendment to the state Constitution that allows for bail reform. Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little said however the ballot question didn’t mention it would come with a significant cost to the taxpayer. “The ballot question, unfortunately, seemed to omit several key impacts, but our greatest concern is who will be responsible to pay for its implementation,” Little said. “The funding source for bail reform comes from local taxpayers. It should not have to be our taxpayers.” Little strongly empha-

from soliciting door to door throughout the town. We are presently working on a “Shop Manchester” program where residents can accumulate savings when shopping at local businesses and that savings can be applied to their property taxes. We have also eagerly implemented Manchester Day, which will be held on June 25.

Currently, there are two projects that have generated a number of questions and concerns. The first is the Energy Aggregation Consortium between Manchester, Lacey and Stafford Townships which will reduce electric costs by a minimum of 10 percent for our residents. Second is the proposed redevelopment plan for the Heritage Min-

erals tract that connects the eastern half of Manchester with Whiting. We strongly believe that our residents should be fully informed regarding all township actions and have a chance to speak with and ask questions of their elected officials without having to come to Town Hall or attend township meetings. For that reason, we are extending an offer to hold a

question and answer session with your residents on a day or evening of your choice in your community center or, if available, the Manchester Township Civic Center. These meetings can be set up at your convenience and most likely would last about one hour or slightly longer if your residents have additional questions. As important as it is for our residents

Freeholders Share Concerns On Bail Reform Costs

sized the people of New Jersey approved a state mandate state pay constitutional amendment and it’s the state’s responsibility to fully fund this new mandate. According to the New Jersey Cou r ts website, starting January 1, 2017, the state will shift from a system that relies principally on setting monetary bail as a condition of release to a risk-based system. The statute also sets deadlines for the timely filing of an indictment and the disposition of criminal charges for incarcerated defendants. Pilot programs in three vicinages, Camden, Morris/ Sussex and Passaic counties are all underway and all have noted the heavy price tag associated with the program. “With this legislation, we have to provide more space, more person nel, more overtime pay,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, director of Law and Public Safety. “These costs add up and they add up fast. “Since we are obligated to follow the law and implement this reform in Ocean County, as a Board we are entrusted by the taxpayers to make certain it is cost effective,” Kelly said. “From what we are hearing, this reform is nothing short of costly for the counties.” Already starting with over-crowded conditions in its court facilities, the county must now find room to accommodate at least

the 15 new employees the Ocean County vicinage expects to bring on as part of the bail reform. “And that is just the first number we have received,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to Buildings and Grounds. “Our court facilities are heavily used by the public and space is already at a premium. “We cannot magically erect new buildi ngs to accommodate more employees. These things take time and careful planning and should be fully funded by the state of New Jersey,” Vicari said. And, new sheriff’s officers, assistant prosecutors and associated staff will have to be hired by the county. “A program like this requires a number of new positions,” said Freeholder Virginia E. Haines. “But the question remains how do we pay for them?” While the state is expected to pay the salaries of the Pretrial Services Unit that would be established to run the bail reform program, millions of dollars in other costs must be borne by the counties. “But, we must pay for the operation, maintenance and capital improvements to the courthouse and we are mandated by the state to fund county sheriff and prosecutor’s offices,” Kelly said. “The additional staff is needed because a lot of this work is expected to take place within 48 hours of an arrest. Almost as-

suredly this would include weekends when we are not generally operating.” Vicari said the counties were not provided a true picture by the state when it was proposing these reforms. “No one realized the longterm financial ramifications. The state didn’t talk about it,” Vicari said. “The state can’t impose a two percent cap on us and then give us an unpaid state mandate. “Our county has a large population of seniors who live on fixed incomes,” Vicari said. “They shouldn’t have to pay for this.” The New Jersey Association of Counties, an advocacy group for county governments in New Jersey, suggests Boards of Freeholders throughout the state support the proposed “County Government Criminal Justice Refor m Administration Fund,” which if approved

by the state legislature, would modestly increase certain criminal and civil court fees and dedicate the increases to county governing bodies to implement the new criminal justice reform law. The proposed legislation has the support of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. John Donnadio, president of NJAC, recently told the Freeholders the criminal justice reform legislation does come with significant costs that were not anticipated. He suggested the Freeholders reach out to their state legislative delegations to specifically discuss criminal justice reform. “We have to get some kind of legislative relief,” he said. “We have to let them know these are real expenses.” Costs to implement the refor m f rom cou nt y to county differ, but in most cases the price tag is in the

to know what is happening in town hall, it is equally important for us to know their positions on these and other items that may be affecting your community so we can better understand and address their needs and concerns.

millions. The total costs for all counties collectively to implement the legislation could be an estimated $50 million in the first year. County off icials have suggested that at the conclusion of the current pilot program, the state should survey the stakeholders i nclud i ng prose cutor s, sheriffs, judiciary and freeholders in order to look at alternatives that will make the new law less burdensome on the taxpayers. “Based on the results of the survey, the law could be amended,” Little said. Meanwhile, the new bail reform is said to possibly result in a reduction of the county jail population, but there is no way to calculate how much savings that would provide, if any. “It all comes back to the costs associated with bail reform,” Bartlett said. “I am hopeful the state will see its clear responsibility and fund the changes.”

Amusements of America –Photo courtesy Manchester Township Educational Foundation Thirteen Manchester Township graduates received scholarships through the Manchester Township Educational Foundation. MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township Educational Foundation presented scholarship awards to 13 graduates at Manchester Township High School’s Senior Recognition Night on June 2. These scholarships totaled $17,500, bringing the total amount of scholarship awards presented by MTEF to over $100,000 within the past eight years. MTEF’s Scholarship Award program is organized and administered by a scholarship committee. Applications are screened anonymously, and finalists are selected after reviewing the students’ application packages and essays. Most awards are funded by local businesses, individuals and local organization sponsors. This was the first year that the MTEF/Dr. William DeFeo Scholarship award of $1,000 was presented on behalf of Manchester’s former Superintendent. DeFeo created the Educational Foundation in 2006. It was his desire to see the foundation in place and working in support of the students and school district prior to his retirement in 2008. In recognition of MTEF’s 10th year, the Dr. DeFeo Scholarship was created to honor the founder of the MTEF. The 2016 MTEF/Dr. William DeFeo Scholarship was awarded to Maya Planter. The MTEF/Charles J. Hesse III Memorial Scholarship, an annual award of $2,500, renewable up to $10,000 by meeting select criteria, was awarded to Dillon Barry. The Hesse Family funds this award each year, and

to date, has funded $80,000 for Manchester students in memory of Charles J. Hesse III. Martin Ryan, spokesperson for the Hesse Family, has committed to continuing the scholarship program. The Hesse companies have also generously supported the annual golf outing since its inception, and will be the event sponsor again in 2017. The MTEF/Senior Citizens Club of Crestwood IV’s four awards of $500 were presented to Sara Stewart, Corissa Scalzo, Jacob Byrnes and Michael Sullivan. The MTEF/Lakehurst-Manchester Lions Club Award of $500 was presented to Abigail Hulse. The MTEF/WWII Veteran Walter A. Moderack Memorial Scholarship of $1,000 was awarded to Isiah Sams, a member of the NJ ROTC Program. The MTEF/River Pointe Community Men’s and Women’s Clubs provided $500 awards to Mallory Wettengel, Zachary Thomas, Renee Larson and Alexander Lynch. The MTEF/Nicole Denise Romanelli Memorial Scholarship of $1,000 is presented to a female student pursuing a degree in the medical field. This year’s recipient was Katrina Tinio.

OCEAN COUNTY – Week two of National Safety Month focuses on staying healthy. One of the best ways to stay safe and healthy is to choose to swim safely and healthy. “It is important to remember that we share the water we swim in and we all need to do our part to keep everyone healthy and safe in the water,” said Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) public health coordinator. “There are steps that all swimmers can take each time we swim. First of all, in a public area, whether a pool or beach, you should check to see there is a lifeguard on duty. Most drownings occur where there is no lifeguard.” Regenye said, “Well maintained pools are less likely to spread germs. Injuries and drownings are less likely in pools that have trained staff and adequate safety equipment. Some other pool tips are: Stay out of the water if sick, especially with any type of diarrheal illness. Those with open wounds not covered with a waterproof bandage should stay out

of the water. Shower before getting in the water. Rinsing off in the shower for just one minute removes most of the dirt or anything else on a person’s body. Use life jackets appropriately.” He said, “Teach your children to not swallow water and make sure you take them on bathroom breaks. Keep an eye on kids at all times; kids can drown in shallow water in seconds. Make sure you change diapers in a diaper changing area and if there is not one, move away from the pool so no germs can get into the pool. “Don’t forget sun safety. Protect against sunburn by using a sunscreen with at least a sun protective factor (SPF) of 15 and reapply after swimming. Make sure you stay hydrated with plenty of water to drink while outside and make sure children’s ears are dried after swimming.” Visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org or follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth or like the Health Department on Facebook.

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Chinese Golden Thread Is Tough On Germs By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Sometimes I come across the weirdest things that are amazingly helpful, like Coptis chinensis. This herb is used frequently in Chinese medicine (Huang Lian), especially to treat diabetes. It has a lengthy list of medicinal properties that I’d like to share with you. Apparently the compounds in Coptis can help with H. pylori, pseudomonas, salmonella, shigella, trichomonas, giardia, influenza and more. I came across Coptis, also called “Golden Thread,” while researching plant-based antimicrobials that could get rid of MARCoNS short for “Multiple Antibiotic Resistant Coagulase Negative Staph.” Think of MARCoNS like you would MRSA, only worse. MARCoNS is an opportunistic staph infection that can reside in your jawbone, hip and nasal cavities, and it’s often cultured in people who have low MSH (Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone). Low MSH correlates with severe insomnia and depression by the way, and if you have those symptoms you should test your blood levels of MSH. If low, you’re next step is to test for MARCoNS, which entails a deep nasal swab into the nose. It’s usually cultured in people who have taken a lot of antibiotics (like Lymies), also those with compromised immunity, biotoxin illness, mold exposure from water damaged buildings or cancer. MARCoNS is tough to eradicate, it lives in slimy biofilm communities and it’s very resistant to today’s arsenal of antibiotics. A compounded prescription nasal spray called “BEG spray” is often used. BEG spray consists of Bactroban, EDTA and Gentamycin, hence the name

“BEG” spray. Coptis herb tastes strong and bitter. It’s bright yellow, and could be used to dye fabrics. The yellow color comes from berberine, which is also sold as a stand-alone supplement. Berberine has been studied extensively for its ability to positively impact blood sugar, and also because it helps prevent arterial wall thickening (atherosclerosis). Here I got all excited that Coptis could hit MARCoNS, which is tough to do (that is one resistant bug) and then I learned that it protects against neuronal degeneration (in animals) and it could help with IBS too. In 2004, researchers found something out that is rather astounding. They tested the anti-cancer activity of Coptis against human liver cancer cells, and those with leukemia. They learned that the berberine and coptisin (found in Coptis) blocked growth of the cancer cells. In the May 2016 journal, Oncology Report, scientists published an interesting article that mentioned Coptis. They said the berberine (found in Coptis and other herbs) worked synergistically with the chemo drug Cisplatin to suppress breast cancer growth. Just as an aside, Cisplatin is a medication from the category of “platinum” salts, which is a heavy metal, not exactly the same as the platinum wedding band though. Coptis contains many compounds, some even attack Lyme pathogens. It’s probably most famous for it’s berberine, which was shown in a 2016 study (Journal of Food and Medicine) to prevent formation of Advanced Glycation End (AGE) products which basically age you.

This Month In History: Ford-Reagan Primary Heats Up State

By J. Mark Mutter Forty years ago this month, New Jersey faced hotly contested Presidential primary elections in both the Democratic and Republican parties. In 1976, both political parties had sea saw battles for their nomination. For the Republicans, the incumbent President Gerald Ford was challenged by the former Governor of California, Ronald Reagan.

Ford had come to the Presidency by appointment and resignation. In 1973, President Richard Nixon selected him to serve as vice president after Spiro Agnew’s resignation. When Nixon resigned in 1974, Ford became President. Reagan – who had left office as governor in 1975, after two terms, had briefly considered running for President in 1968 and by 1976 was the leading spokesman for Republican

conservatives. The Democrats saw a wide open primary contest between United States Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson of Washington, Congressman Morris Udall of Arizona, Alabama Governor George C. Wallace, and former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter. Like today, the Presidential contest in both parties started in the winter with a party

caucus in Iowa and a primary election in New Hampshire – but ending with June primaries in California, Ohio and New Jersey. In 2016, Ohio’s primary was in March. Throughout the winter and spring of 1976, the candidates battled it out, from week to week and month to month. For the Democrats, by late spring, Jimmy Carter had emerged as the front runner. For the Republicans, it remained a toss up. The New Jersey Primary – 40 Years Ago Both political parties in New Jersey put together election slates – delegates and alternate delegates – in support of their presidential candidates. For the Democrats in New Jersey, on the Carter statewide slate was Assemblyman John Paul Doyle, from Brick; Udall had Bill Bradley on his team – still, then, a New York Knicks basketball player; and an “Un-Committed” slate was led by United States Senator Harrison A. Williams. For the Republicans, Ford’s statewide slate was led by United States Senator Clifford P. Case, Congresswoman Millicent Fenwick, and Assemblyman (and later Governor) Thomas H. Kean. Reagan’s name was not on the GOP primary ballot in New Jersey as he chose to marshal his resources for the Ohio and California primaries held the same day as New Jersey’s. Instead, those New Jersey Republicans supporting Reagan simply ran under the slogan “Former Calif. Governor for President” – and pledged to vote for him at the GOP convention if elected. In 1976, Dover Township (now Toms River) was part of the Sixth Congressional District (today, Toms River is the Third District). The Democrats ran slates based on the state legislative districts in 1976. For the Republicans, in the Sixth Congressional District, Ford’s delegate slate was led by the district’s sitting Congressman, Edwin B. Forsythe. The Ford slate was challenged by a Reagan group led by Brick Councilman Edward Musgrave. The June 8, 1976 voting for the Democrats in Dover Township was close. The at-large vote for uncommitted won 822 to 797 over Carter, but the local 9th legislative district candidates split with one delegate candidate for Carter receiving the most votes and one for uncommitted receiving the second highest out of a field of 12 candidates. For the Republicans, Ford trounced the Reagan upstarts by a margin of almost 3-1. In the Sixth District, Congressman Forsythe received the most votes – 21,867. An 18 year-old Ocean County College student and Reagan alternate delegate candidate, J. Mark Mutter, came in next to last with 8,128 votes. The Aftermath Carter would go on to secure his party’s nomination at the Democratic Convention in a first ballot vote of almost 75 percent. Ford would not have it so easy. He narrowly defeated Reagan in delegate votes – 1187 to 1070. In the November 1976 election, Carter narrowly defeated Ford and would serve one term as President. He was defeated for re-election by Reagan in 1980 in a landslide. –Sources: Dover Township 1976 election file; New Jersey Secretary of State “Records of the Primary Election-1976”; Wikipedia. J.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

SUPERIOR

A Taste Of Honey

Dear Readers: We have all had our days where anger seems to take over. We lash out at the ones we love and feel guilty afterward. They don’t happen too often, here’s hoping, and we usually apologize and forgive (the alternative is to hold a grudge, and feel sad and depressed). It is important to recognize that if this is persistent it could be a disorder of some kind. That being said there are foods that can actually help us in staying calm. I loved this and wanted to share: Kiwis - Kiwis are filled with Vitamin C and actually contain more Vitamin C per fruit than oranges. (Who would a thunk?) Pumpkin Seeds - Thought that they were only popular during the Halloween season? Think again, pumpkin seeds are eaten by Americans all year through. They are filled with Magnesium. They also reduce the effects of anxiety, a known killer to our health. Leafy Vegetables - Another goody loaded with magnesium. Americans enjoy eating iceberg lettuce but there are so many more leafy vegetables now available that are loaded in healthy stuff.

Finally, chamomile tea is almost as good as a kiss good night. It is a great and healthy way to end the day (it is related to the Daisy family) and a nightly cupful can reduce the day’s stress. And for my male readers I am not sure of the nutritional benefits to women but Brazil nuts have a reputation of raising the libido. Now that sounds simple. You can find them in better supermarkets throughout the entire year. They are available without the shell. I especially enjoyed sharing this information in that it is an inexpensive way of reducing stress and anxiety .It is important to remember that if allergies or medications are of concern, please consult your doctor. Wishing you a great week with less stress. Joel Write to preferredcares.com.

HUD Proposes Broadband Infrastructure Requirement

NEW JERSEY – The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development published a proposed rule on May 18, narrowing the digital divide through installation of Broadband Infrastructure in HUD-funded new construction and substantial rehabilitation of multifamily rental housing that would require owners and developers of HUD-funded multifamily housing to install broadband infrastructure at the time of construction or if the property undergoes substantial rehabilitation. This requirement is in response to recommendations made by the recently convened interagency Broadband Opportunity Council and is part of a broader set of Administration and HUD initiatives designed to address the digital divide. The following programs would be subject to the broadband installation requirement: the Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant; Community Development Block

Grant (CDBG), including CDBG Disaster Recovery; Continuum of Care; the HOME Investment Partnerships program; Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS; the Housing Trust Fund; Project-Based Voucher; the Public Housing Capital Fund; Section 8 project-based housing assistance payment programs; Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly and the Section 811 program for persons with disabilities. The rule would not apply to multifamily rental housing that only has a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration or with a loan guaranteed under a HUD loan guarantee program. It would also not apply to single family construction or substantial rehabilitation. The proposed rule defines both broadband infrastructure and substantial rehabilitation for the programs cited that do not already have a standing definition. Broadband infrastructure is broadly defined to include

cables, fiber optics, wiring, or other infrastructure, as long as the installation results in accessibility in each unit. Substantial rehabilitation is defined as work on the electrical system that is equal to or greater than 75 percent of the cost of replacing the entire electrical system, or when the cost of the rehabilitation is equal to or greater than 75 percent of the total estimated cost of replacing the multifamily rental housing after rehabilitation is complete. The broadband installation requirement would extend only to the property; the proposed rule clarifies that grantees would not be responsible for ensuring an external connection between the property and an internet service provider. HUD suggests that this proposed rule would put broadband internet service within reach so that other charitable and public social programs, including HUD’s Connect HOME program, could then provide free or reduced cost service.

Exceptions to the broadband installation requirement would be allowed when a funding recipient determines that installing broadband is not feasible due to location or building characteristics. The proposed rule stipulates that recipients and owners would be responsible for maintaining documentation that justifies the recipient’s determination of infeasibility. HUD would also consider providing additional guidance on this issue when the final rule becomes effective. HUD will accept comments on this proposed rule until July 18. Send feedback for the National Council of State Housing Agencies to consider by including it in the comments to HUD at goo.gl/itb6CA. Comments may be submitted by mail to the Regulations Division, Office of General Counsel, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street SW., Room 10276, Washington, DC 20410-0500.

and towels dotting sweeping landscapes of sand and surf. Art Star always welcomes four legged friends to the bazaar. Swing by Adornables’ booth to pick up a dapper bow tie for the pup.

This year’s headlining musicians are Julian and Dominique performing at 6 p.m., and “Tusk,” the Fleetwood Mac Tribute Band, performing at 7:30 p.m. Capping off the day’s activities will be a fireworks display over the waters of Harry Wright Lake. “Manchester Day is a great opportunity for our families to come together and have fun as a community,” said Recreation Director Tracey Lynch. “I hope that all of our residents can attend and create some special memories with their families and

neighbors.” New to this year’s event is a live K9 demonstration by the Manchester Township Police Department K9 Unit at 4 p.m. There is also free swimming at Harry Wright Lake in celebration of Manchester Day – no badge is required all day.

Bar tley Healthc are opened as a 120 -bed skilled nursing home in 1985, one year after breaking ground. Scalo says the facility’s first residents were in their seventies, but stayed into their eighties and late nineties.

Healthcare Provides Home Sweet Home For Adult Residents By Joyce Blay There’s no place like home, and for seniors at all stages of their adult lives, there’s no place like Bartley Healthcare Nursing, Rehabilitation and The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living. Conveniently located off County Line Road in Jackson, you’ll receive a friendly greeting and a welcoming smile from staff members or Bartley residents.

Emilia enjoys soaking up the sunshine outdoors on a regular basis, but says that residents have a wide variety of activities from which to choose. “You do what you want to do,” she says. For thirty years, Bartley

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 25-July 1 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be all you can be. In the week to come your work ethic may impress the boss or your business dealings will upgrade your reputation. Beneficial relationships can be forged with those who share your sense of values. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Wear your white hat and do your best. You may even be able to ride off into the sunset with a sweetheart if you make a pretty apology and mend the fences. Your creative talents are in high gear during the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gentle persuasion is a powerful palliative. You won’t need to force your ideas on others in the week to come in order to get results. Your wisdom about family matters is better than average; make crucial decisions now. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Fate and fortune favor the freehanded. You may have an occasional impulse to dwell on fantasies or to blindly swallow an advertising ploy indulge in the week ahead. Yet you will never fail if you are generous to others. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Go along with the crowd and offer the gift of giving. What you gain from being generous can be more fulfilling and satisfying than being miserly. Butter someone up with some form of flattery in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take pride in having integrity. If you prove your trustworthiness, by fulfilling promises and honoring contracts, people will develop faith in you. This is a good week to demonstrate your leadership abilities and wisdom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Chasing your tail can be fun, but impractical. You could have some delightful ideas but not the levelheadedness to put them into action. Rely upon good financial advice from more grounded advisors in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some people dig in their heels and get the job done, but others are mere dreamers. If you are a heel digger this may be the best possible week to start any project that relies upon making smart and wise financial decisions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may reach down and find the bottom of the well. Gauge the depth of your feelings as well as the solidity of your financial security. In the week head you should focus on ways to replenish your resources. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your glass ceiling may be equipped with a skylight. Your potential for making giant leaps forward with career and finances may have few limits in the week to come. Accept any opportunity for advancement that comes along. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You won’t be fooled by fate if you focus on fulfilling your fantasies. Be extra nice to the new person in the office and be optimistic about starting a new project. The stars smile on romance and relationships this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Too many choices can be confusing. Remain precise and concise in the week ahead to dispel confusion. You may be torn in two directions but can make the right choice if you do your best to live up to someone’s expectations.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Grill Marks: Try This Asian Beef Appetizer For Your Next Backyard Barbecue By Wolfgang Puck

What are you serving as appetizers when you entertain outdoors this summer? Too often, grill cooks think only about their main courses and maybe side dishes like grilled vegetables and old standbys like potato salad or coleslaw. When it comes to f i rst cou rses, t houg h, most default to dishes like guacamole or other dips, prepared away from the grill, accompanied by the inevitable chips. I’d like to propose another approach. As long as you’re making the effort to heat up your backyard grill, why not be fuel-efficient (as well as conserving your own energy) and cook an appetizer on the grill too? The point, of course, is to be creative while also making less work for yourself, not more. Most importantly, you want a recipe that will be fairly quick and easy to prepare and serve, so you have time to get the larger main dishes cooking while everyone is enjoying your appetizer. One appetizer recipe that meets those requirements is the slender Asian kabob k nown as a satay. These are basically small, thin, pieces of meat, poultry or seafood threaded onto skewers, designed to cook almost instantly over an open fire for less than 5 minutes. And the individual skewers make passing and serving them both easy for you, the cook and host, and fun for your guests. As a great example, I’m happy to share my recipe for a beef satay I’ve served from time to time over the years in my restaurants. For a special-occasion, you can prepare it with good-quality, tender New York strip or fillet; but it’s just as good made with less costly skirt or f lank steak, which is the traditional choice in Asian kitchens. For convenience and authenticity, I suggest preparing the satays on individual bamboo or wooden skewers, which you’ll need to soak br ief ly in water so they won’t scorch or catch fire on the outdoor grill. You can also cook them indoors on a countertop grill, under the broiler, or in half the time with an electric panini grill or hinged contact grill that cooks the meat from both sides at once. The satays are so easy that they also allow you time to prepare a delicious dipping sauce to go with them. My recipe takes only a few minutes to make, yet it delivers big f lavor. Once you’ve tried this dish, feel free to vary it with different seasons or by substit uti ng other protei ns li ke pork, chicken or shrimp. You can also serve the skewers as a main dish, accompanied by rice and vegetables. Have creative fun with your grilling this summer! HONEY-MARINATED BEEF SATAYS WITH SPICY BUTTER SAUCE Makes 24 skewers, serves 8 to 12 BEEF SATAYS: 3/4 pound (374 g) New York strip or fillet

steak, trimmed 1/2 cup (125 mL) soy sauce 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper f lakes 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or peanut oil SPICY BUTTER SAUCE: 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger 1 green onion, finely chopped 1 cup (250 mL) organic chicken broth 1/4 cup (60 mL) soy sauce 1 teaspoon honey 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce or bottled barbecue sauce 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper f lakes Soak 2 dozen 6-inch (15-cm) bamboo or wooden skewers in water for 30 to 60 minutes. Drain and pat dry. With a sharp knife, cut the steak into 24 long, thin strips. Thread 1 strip onto each skewer, weaving the skewer back and forth along the length of each steak strip. Arrange the skewers on a large platter or baking tray. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed. Until 30 minutes before you plan to grill the skewers, combine the soy sauce, honey, red pepper f lakes, cumin, turmeric and oil in a small bowl. Pou r this mar inade over the steak skewers, t u r ning to coat the meat evenly. Leave the skewers to marinate at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Preheat an outdoor grill, stovetop grill, broiler, panini grill or hinged grill. Meanwhile, make the sauce: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the garlic cloves and blanch them in the boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds. Drain well, pat dry with paper towels, and chop finely. In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and green onion; saute just until they begin to soften and smell fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, soy sauce, honey, hoisin or barbecue sauce, and red pepper f lakes and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Pour the sauce through a strainer into a clean pan and, over medium heat, whisk in the remaining butter a little bit at a time. Keep warm. Grill the skewers, in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding, until cooked through and nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side on the outdoor grill or in the grill pan or broiler, or 2 minutes total in the panini grill or hinged grill - or 1 minute total for rare. (Take care that the skewers don’t prevent the panini grill or hinged grill from closing properly.) Transfer to a platter, pour on the sauce, and serve; or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
