sbach kicked the extra point to push the lead to 14-7. “This was definitely a night to remember,” said Miserendino, who will play either defensive back or wide receiver at Rowan University. “I loved playing with all of these kids. It’s a great way to come out with a win in my last game on this field. This is real emotional. I am blessed and honored to have played in an all-star game at home.” The drive began at the Ocean County 16-yard line with 13:07 left. Miserendino opened the series with a 4-yard burst to
the 20 and a personal foul penalty on Monmouth on the play gave Ocean County the ball at its 35 and a first down. Miserendino followed with a 22-yard dash to the Monmouth 43 and was tackled while out of bounds on the play, putting the ball at the 22 and giving Ocean another first down. Jackson Memorial’s Vinny Lee ripped off a 10-yard gain up the middle for a first down to the 12 and followed with a 1-yard burst to the 11. Miserendino muscled for five yards to the six. Lee gained five yards (Win - See Page 7)

up the middle to the one on third and four for a first down. Lee was thrown for 3-yard loss to the four. Miserendino was stopped for no gain on the following play and tossed the game-winner on third and four. Named Ocean’s Most Valuable Offensive Most Valuable Player, Miserendino faked a handoff and tossed the ball to Walker, who caught the ball about one yard from the goal line on the right side of the field, Walker muscled through a defender and into the end zone, sending the Ocean County fans into a frenzy at the Joseph J.Boyd Memorial Field. “I usually hit the tight end with the pass, but Pat was open right away,” Miserendino said. “The play was a 90 boot right. We practiced it a lot during the week and we had it down pretty good. Our coaches said I should definitely fake before throwing the ball. My fake caught their defender off guard. I am very honored. I never felt I would be the MVP of this game. This is a night to remember. I am very blessed to receive this award.” Honored as Ocean’s Most Valuable Defensive Player was former Jackson Memorial standout Tyler Towns. Bound for Wagner College where he will play defensive end and outside linebacker, the defensive end tipped a pass, resulting in an interception by Brick Memorial’s Chris Hayes with 4:59 to go in the fourth quarter. “My dad (Hollis, who took pictures of
The Toms River Times, July 9, 2016, Page 7 his son after the game) told me I would have to walk home to Jackson if I did not come away with one of these,” Towns said while holding his plaque. “It’s a long walk from here (Berkeley Township) to Jackson. When I got my hand on the ball, I had feelings of elation and excitement. It’s a statement. You’re telling the quarterback, ‘You can’t throw on us. You can’t run on us.’ “ “This was old school football, a brotherhood. We have been knocking each other around since we were in the first and second grade,” Towns said. “It’s all about the love of football. It’s about wanting to have fun and wanting to put on a good show.” With eight seconds remaining in the game, a Monmouth pass was broken up in the end zone by Point Pleasant Boro’s Devin Connelly on fourth and two, giving Ocean County the ball. Ocean County ran out the clock. Ocean County took a 6-0 lead with 2:05 left in the first quarter on a 55yard touchdown pass from Noah Husak (Point Pleasant Boro) to Matt Schliefer (Brick Township). Ansbach kicked the extra point. Monmouth cut its deficitto 7-6 with 13:21 to go in the game on a 17-yard touchdown pass from Matt Mosquera (Middletown South) to Nick Pasquin (Raritan). Jack O’Connor (Red Bank Regional) kicked the extra point and Ocean County answered with the winning touchdown. Monmouth leads the series 20-18-1 with one tie. Ocean County has won the game three straight years.

Opinion

C ommentary
Featured Letter State Needs To Quit Smoking, Start Prevention As a former smoker and survivor of heart disease, I am very concerned about the lack of state funding for tobacco prevention programs and other services that help smokers quit. While smoking rates have decreased dramatically in the past 20 years, smoking is still the leading preventable cause of death and New Jersey is the only state that dedicates no state resources to the fight against this deadly addiction. Programs to prevent children from picking up the habit and to help smokers quit have disappeared. NJ generates approximately $700 million from the tobacco tax, yet we spend nothing on combating nicotine addiction. This is wrong. The NJ Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee recently approved a bill that would reinstate funding for tobacco prevention. Although it would dedicate only five percent of
what is generated from tobacco taxes, it would still provide $33 million to fund programs to curb and prevent tobacco use. This is a great start. New Jersey has made progress in lowering the smoking rates across the state, but there is more work to be done. Disparities in smoking rates exist according to income, mental health status and other factors. In addition, e-cigarette and hookah use among children and young adults is skyrocketing, which increases the chances that a whole new generation will struggle with nicotine addiction as adults. On behalf of the American Heart Association, I urge the state legislature to continue the passage of this legislation to help create a culture of health in the Garden State.

Letters To The Editor The Complaints Are Economic After reading the article about the recent presentation, “Heart of the St ranger: A Por t rait of L a ke wo o d’s O r t ho d ox Community,” given at the Lakewood Library, I felt compelled to “set the record straight” regarding the presumed “growing prejudice” against Orthodox Jews in Lakewood. In my opinion (knowing many people who live in La kewood , a nd myself working in the area), the issue is not that the people of Lakewood are anti-Semitic. The “prejudice” is not against the Jewish person. It is against the behavior of people who are not taking care of their property (toys, bicycles laying around outside, yards that are unkempt, houses in disrepair, etc.). Living in the same neighborhood as someone who does not take care of his property lessens the value of any owner’s land. The “prejudice” is against the idea that “I have to pay taxes, but my neighbors don’t.” I believe almost anyone would have a hard time being gracious about that! I don’t believe most people in Lakewood object to how their neighbors dress, what they eat or how they worship. However, when certain behaviors or religious principles make life difficult for their neighbors’ economic welfare,
there is bound to be some negative backlash. Many of my customers are Orthodox Jewish people, and they are very nice people, but if my land lost value because my neighbor wasn’t taking care of his, or if my tax bill was higher than it should be, because my neighbor’s religious beliefs gave him the privilege of not paying any taxes, I would be upset and not too neighborly either! I don’t know what the solution to the problem is, but please don’t label the problem as “Anti-Semitism.” It is about the concern of many for the beautification and economy of Lakewood.

fits to Andree according to the standards at that time. That’s what all the push was about. Second, at age 49, I doubt she was able t o cla i m b e nef it s at all. This should have been one of those rare occasions when the taxpayers got a break, considering t hat t he t y pical public s cho ol t e a che r i n t h i s state collects $2.4 million in retirement, having contributed less than $200,000. Same is true of the police, as was documented in a cover story a b o u t t h e To m s R ive r police force which ran in the Asbury Park Press. The public sector unions are strangling New Jersey. Their exorbitant salaries and benefits which we read about every day impact the cost of living of ever yone else in the state. According to recent articles in the New Yo r k Ti m e s a n d Wa l l Street Journal, the state’s condition has become so perilous that a failure to honor its debts, similar to what happened in Detroit a nd is t a k i ng pla ce i n Puerto Rico, is the most l i kely c a s e goi ng fo rward. Meanwhile, Wells and Andree will collect millions as long as they can fog a mirror. Bad things happen when good people fail to confront them, as it did in this case. C. Crowley Toms River

Lighting Improvements & New Hangars Coming To OC Airport
Joseph H. Vicari 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 t he O c e a n C ou nt y Airport off Route 530 in Berkeley Township. “The lighting improvements for the main runway will improve safety for pilot s com i ng i nto and leaving the airport,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vica r i, who se r ve s as liaison to the facility. “And, a new eight unit t-hangar building to be const r ucted 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 C o u n t y,” V i c a r i s a i d . “This new t-hangar will be of no cost to the county and will answer a growing need at this facility.” Ocean Aircraft Storage, a partner with county’s f i xe d b a s e d o p e r a t o r, 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 constr uction of the new t-hangar build i ng,” Vica r i 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 ter m with an option of t wo additional 10 -year ter ms. In addition, the county will receive annually 15 percent of the gross revenue or $5,000, whichever is higher. “ We a r e wo r k i ng i n 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.” T he cou nt y ha s fou r 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 Program and the 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
r u nway and accom mo d ates va r iou s ai rcr af t, i n cl u d i n g p r iv a t e a i rplanes, small cor porate 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 t he county’s transpor tation prog ra m,” said Vica r i. “It’s essential the facilities be kept current and at up-to-date standards.” Vicari noted the current r unway lighting system is more t h a n 20 ye a r s old a nd s che d u le d for replacement. “We are applying for federal f u ndi ng 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, f u nded also by federal and state grants was completed last year. T he project i ncludes the installation of high intensity runway/threshold edge lights and high intensity f lush 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. “ T h is is yet a not he r 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.”
From The Desks Of Senators Robert Menendez and Cory Booker: N EW J ERSEY – A round of federal funding should help the back bays of New Jersey, in areas such as Bar negat Bay where communities are th reatened by repeated f loods. U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker highlighted $10,954,000 in funding within the FY2017 Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Act appropriations bil l, wh ich pa ssed t he Senate recently. “Too many New Jersey families know firsthand the pai nf ul i mpacts of severe f looding and the t ol l it t a ke s on e nt i r e communities,” said Sen. Menendez. “Whether it be Sandy, Irene, Floyd or the seasonal Nor’easter,

our state is routinely in the path of severe storms that can destroy neighborhoods and wreak havoc on people’s lives. This funding is vital to mov i ng t he se c om mu n it ies closer to a long t e r m f lo o d m it ig a t io n solution that will protect residents and proper t y. I am pleased that these important projects were prioritized in the President’s FY17 Budget request and funded through t he Ene rg y a nd Wat e r Appropriations bill.” “For years, far too many communities across our st ate have been forced to endure the devastati n g i m p a c t s of f lo o d ing,” said Sen. Booker. “ Ne w Je r s e y f a m i l i e s deserve to have the peace
of mind that they are out of harm’s way and don’t have to live in constant fear of the next stor m. These federally f unded p r oj e c t s m a k e a n i m p o r t a nt i nve s t m e nt i n the safety and well-being of New Jerseyans by helping to mitigate the impact of f looding and ma k i ng u s more resilient in the face of future storms.” The $37.5 billion funding bill provides $6 billion for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers civil works programs that fall under f lood and storm damage reduction, navigation and e c o s y s t e m r e s t o r a t io n activities, including the following critical Army Cor ps projects i n New Jersey: New Jersey back

T he shorelines of most of the back bays are low elevation, developed with residential and com mercial inf rast r ucture and subject to tidal

The study will evaluate f lood reduction measures in the densely populated por tions of New Jersey back bays and mainland coastline areas bordering the bays and tidal tributaries, including private
residences, commercial businesses, schools, inf rastr uct ure, roads and e v a c u a t i o n r o u t e s fo r coastal emergencies. Potential solutions will involve making the at-risk areas more resilient to eliminate coastal storm damages and will t ake into account future environmental changes from climate change and sea level rise.

TOMS RIVER – Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey (CVCJ) was awarded a $5,000 grant from Investors Bank supporting it’s Alzheimer’s Respite Care program. The grant award was presented to Lynette Whiteman, CVCJ executive director and Linda Conroy, CVCJ director of development at a gathering of Alzheimer’s Respite Care program’s friends and volunteers at Tuscan Bistro and Bar. The award was presented by Sandy S. Broughton, vice president, community development officer. “We are very proud of our dedication and commitment to the communities that we serve. It is amazing to have the opportunity to support community partners who are changing lives and helping to make Ocean County a better place to live and work,” said Broughton. Established in 2002, the Alzheimer’s Respite Care program (ARCP) provides respite for families caring for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease in their home. Trained volunteers are matched with a family and provide two to three hours each week so that the family caregiver may have much needed time to care for their own needs and themselves.
“We have 55 caring ARCP volunteers at this time,” said Valerie Johnson-Green, coordinator of the program for CVCJ. “This funding from Investors Bank supports our recruitment and training efforts for more volunteers to help more families and bring relief to our families caring for a loved one with this terrible disease.” “We are honored to have such a strong relationship with Investors Bank,” continued Lynette Whiteman, CVCJ executive director. “Investors Bank is so supportive financially of our many efforts to provide care, but more importantly, many Investors Bank staff members are now engaged as volunteers for CVCJ: for the Respite Care program, providing medical transportation, doing grocery shopping, making a friendly phone call or visit our frail elderly. In addition, Lisa Carta, assistant vice president and branch manager of the Fischer Boulevard Toms River Office is a valued member of our Board of Directors.” For more information about Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey, visit caregivervolunteers.org, call 732-505-2273 or “like” them on facebook – facebook.com/ caregivervolunteers.

Blitz Cleans Up Barnegat Bay
NEW JERSEY – Thousands of volunteers, many of them students, joined Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin recently for the seventh Barnegat Bay Blitz, a day-long cleanup that draws attention to efforts to protect and enhance the bay and its watershed. Martin said the Blitz demonstrates the Christie Administration’s continued commitment to protection of Barnegat Bay. It also allows residents to directly participate in the Governor’s comprehensive restoration plan for the bay by enhancing public awareness and stewardship of this natural resource. The bay’s 660-square-mile watershed spans all or parts of 37 municipalities in Ocean and Monmouth counties. More than 5,000 volunteers registered for their year’s Blitz, which includes more than 4,000 students and hundreds of community and corporate volunteers and DEP staff. “The Christie Administration remains committed to the ecological protection, enhancement and science-based solutions needed to restore Barnegat Bay, a unique ecological treasure and important asset to our tourism economy,” said Commissioner Martin. “The blitz has become a tradition that pulls together people from many walks of life who share a common bond – their love of Barnegat Bay. I thank each and every one of them for doing their part to help the bay, and encourage others to follow their lead by making stewardship of this resource part of their daily lives.” Teams fanned out to key locations around the watershed, targeting a wide variety of areas, including wetlands, stream banks, storm water discharge points, schools, trails, docks, areas around bulkheads and the waters of the bay itself. Each team is led by a captain, who was typically an employee of the DEP. Kick-off ceremonies took place at Ocean County Park in Lakewood, where Commissioner Martin announced an environmental restoration project planting native vegetation along the Schoolhouse Branch of the Metedeconk River. “In addition to improving the health and beauty of the bay, the Barnegat Bay Blitz has raised public awareness about the ecological pressures the bay faces and the administration’s comprehensive plan to restore and enhance this unique body of water,” said Lynnette Lurig, the DEP research scientist who organized the event. “This program has planted the seeds of environmental activism and awareness not just in children, but in the many people who live and work in the bay region.” The first Barnegat Bay Blitz was held in October 2011, and has grown significantly in terms of participants and materials collected ever since. Last year’s Blitz drew some 4,300 volunteers and students, who collected about 1,200 bags of garbage and recyclables, filled eight dumpsters with 250 cubic yards of debris and
provided valuable hands-on experience for students from the MATES Academy at Ocean County College. By enhancing education and public appreciation of the bay, the Blitz is a key component of Governor Christie’s Comprehensive Action Plan for the bay, launched in December 2010. Key accomplishments under the comprehensive plan include: Tens of millions of dollars were made available to local governments for stormwater infrastructure upgrades; ten research projects resulting in the most comprehensive compilations of research on any estuary, including studies on water quality, harmful algae blooms, assessments of fish and crabs and ways to reduce stinging sea nettles; New Jersey’s first comprehensive water monitoring network for both fresh and marine water quality; preservation of more than 3,000 acres of open space in the watershed and a state commitment to acquire 30,000 acres over the next several decades; green boater sweeps to educate boaters about the need to protect ecologically sensitive areas, such as shellfish growing areas, shorebird nesting areas and submerged aquatic vegetation; the nation’s toughest law regarding restrictions on lawn fertilizers that cause runoff that degrades water quality across the state and a commitment by Exelon Corp. to decommission the Oyster Creek nuclear reactor in Lacey Township by the end of 2019. Long, shallow, and in many areas very narrow, Barnegat Bay is susceptible to the impacts of stormwater runoff and accumulation of trash and debris along its shorelines and in its wetlands. Removal of trash and debris throughout the watershed, which covers all 33 municipalities in Ocean County and four municipalities in Monmouth County, is critical because these materials can otherwise ultimately enter the bay through stormwater discharges, degrading the ecological and scenic value of the bay. Stormwater also carries other pollutants such as common lawn fertilizers, automotive fluids and silt that degrade wildlife habitat and water quality in the bay and its tributaries. Trash collected during Blitz is being turned over to local public works departments for proper disposal. In addition to the DEP, Blitz sponsors include New Jersey Clean Communities, the New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust, Wawa, Waste Management, TowBoat US, the U.S. Geological Survey, New Jersey Natural Gas, Rowbear, Ocean Spray, Suez-United Water; Ocean County government, PS&S, Firestone, the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, ReClam the Bay, AmeriCorps Watershed Ambassadors, the Barnegat Bay Partnership and the U.S. Coast Guard.

Local Photographer Showcases NJ’s Red Fox
TOMS RIVER – Vulpes Vulpes (Red Fox), a photography exhibit by Eric Sager, will be on exhibit in McConnell Gallery at the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library throughout the month of July. Sager is a central New Jersey-based freelance photographer and artist. He studied Fine Arts and Film Photography at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. He primarily shoots weddings and other events, but in his free time he focuses on photographing wildlife in any New Jersey’s many nature preserves. This exhibit is a multi-year long journey in
rehabilitation center
LAVALLETTE – The Upper Shores branch of the Ocean County Library will host “An Evening with John Hartmann” at 7:30 p.m. won July 6. The author talk will feature New Jersey Criminal Defense Attorney John Hartmann who will present his memoir, “Jacket: The Trials of a New Jersey Criminal Defense Attorney.” A question and answer session will follow the reading. The branch is located at 112 Jersey City Ave. Hartmann’s book shows pride in the Garden State and includes a lot of New Jersey history. “Everyone wants to be like us, as demonstrated by the popularity of such shows as ‘The Sopranos,’‘Jersey Shore’and
‘Boardwalk Empire,’” Hartmann said. “Even our unofficial mascot, the Jersey Devil, is the coolest, baddest, meanest monster there is.” His book also includes tips on how attorneys can build their client base through listening, showing empathy, advertising and speaking knowledgably about the law to their clients. The client that the book focuses on most is Nate who was wrongly convicted of robbing a convenience store. Nate was a religious, hard-working man who many expressed should not have been locked up.

Sager says, “I wanted to give my audience the feeling of really being there with the foxes; to see the small, serene moments, to be down on the ground alongside them, to share a view of them otherwise unattainable.” The exhibit is free and open to the public.

Fast Facts About Hearing Loss Despite the national prevalence of hearing loss, many do not have awareness as to how widespread hearing difficulties are. Below are some quick facts about hearing loss in the United States and how it impacts the way we live. Many are affected…one in five Americans experiences some form of hearing loss. Yet many do not act…80 percent of those with hearing loss do nothing to treat it. But when they do…it takes the average person five to seven years to seek professional diagnosis for a hearing problem. Hearing loss is typically caused by – Aging, ototoxic medication,
exposure to noise and heredity. There’s no need to wait. We emphasize the importance of good dental hygiene and vision health yet ignore our crucial sense of hearing. Getting in the habit of receiving annual hearing evaluations can help you maintain better hearing, learn better hearing techniques, and set a positive example for those close to you. There is hope – solutions are available. 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.

7 Cool Things to Do with Cucumbers By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Once summer rolls around there’s always one or t wo cucu mbe r s i n my fridge. Cucumbers have a lot of health benefits, and they’re actually a fruit, not a vegetable. They’re in the same family as melons, zucchini and pumpkin. Cucumbers have many active components, among them is an anti-inf lammatory f lavonol called “fisetin,” which supports brain health. Cucumbers offer compounds that are antioxidants, so they help prevent systemic rusting. Here’s some fresh ways to use cucumbers: 1. Soothe itchy eyes. Cut two slices off and lay upon your eyes. This feels especially comfy if you have red, itchy eyes from whatever’s blooming. You can also cut slices and put in a jar of water and infuse the water for an hour (refrigerate), then make a compress out of the cucumber water. Squeeze it and lay that upon your eyes. 2. Juice them. They contain lariciresinol, pinoresinol and secoisolariciresinol which are three important compounds when it comes to reducing risk of reproductive cancers (ovarian, breast, uterine, prostate). Secoisolariciresinol is also found in f lax. 3. Heal burns. Cut the slices lengthwise and apply to areas of sunburn, or use the compress idea from above. 4. Drink them. Cut cucumbers into 1/2 slices along with 1/4 slices of lemon and put into a beautiful glass decanter or carafe with some ice. Let it
marinate for an hour and then drink all day. Among the many health benefits, you may notice a mild diuretic effect that could help with blood pressure and weight loss. 5. Eat them. The profound medicinal benefits of cucumbers are not apparent to you. I bet you walk right past them in the produce section all the time. These guys can block COX2 enzymes (similar to Celebrex, a popular medication) dampening down pain-causing cytokines. While cucumbers are not as strong as drugs, I’d still chop some into your salad along with fresh tomatoes and basil leaves. Finish with cilantro-lime vinaigrette. This salad adds fiber, which in turn helps you manage weight. 6. Treat acne with it. Cucumbers have the ability to remove dirt, dead skin cells, bacteria and left over make-up residue. It naturally calms and cools a red or inf lamed area. Put a quarter of an unpeeled cucumber in your food grinder along with a tablespoon of witch hazel and 2 drops of tea tree oil and 5 drops lavender. Grind to a smooth consistency and apply as a ‘mask’ or dab on an area. 7. Make a toner for your face. Slice cucumbers into two cups pure distilled water. Strain out the cucumbers so you are left with cucumber water. Add one tablespoon of organic aloe vera leaf juice, 10 drops essential oil of lavender and five drops of jasmine. For oily skin add five drops of helichrysum. If you have dry skin, use rose oil.

child, senior and the everyday citizen that lives within a half mile of the roadway. The Commissioners are killing New Jersey’s citizens. The long-term impact will be the same as what happened with cigarettes. Years from now it will become more evident and there will
be deadly health implications. Heart attacks and lung disease will increase and movies will be made of how politicians and bureaucrats ignored the problem, just like with Ciba-Geigy. But the Brick and Ocean County residents don’t want movies, lawsuits and financial settlements because their health is more important. With increases in lung ailments, autism and asthma something must be done and done soon.
Although not a perfect solution to the devastation, a 14-foot pollution, noise and safety wall needs to be constructed in many areas of Brick Township, and tens of thousands of trees need to be replanted to correct some of the destruction caused by the NJTA. I am hopeful that the Commissioners of the NJTA are just short sighted, incompetent individuals who think that 3 to 5 foot trees will cure the ills caused

by their authorization of the illegal and immoral destruction of the environment surrounding the Garden State Parkway in the Brick Township area. I am hoping that they are just ignorant individuals who don’t know the harm they are causing to the health of tens of thousands of Brick residents. I am not of the belief that they NJTA Commissioners are truly evil people who only care about their own pocketbooks at the expense of the health of thousands of New Jersey’s citizens, but something needs to change. As seen in election results, the people are fighting back against the big government-spawned bureaucracies, and our local representatives need to stand with them and demand action now. Bu reaucracies use delaying tactics, lies, and misstatements to overwhelm the citizens but the citizens and their representatives must demand immediate. The people’s representatives, must stand with the residents and not the big bureaucracies like the NJTA Commissioners. These Commissioners have shown they don’t care about the residents of Brick or the opinions of the citizens’ representatives so we all must stand strong and defeat these lies, tactics and deception. We must stop the abuse. Hopefully this is still a country of the people, by the people and for the people! Jack Sluka Brick

Volunteers Expand Caregiving Mission To Another County
By Jennifer Peacock They had to come. Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey, operating in Ocean County, opened a new office in Freehold to answer increasing demands for services for the elderly in Monmouth County. Though they opened their doors in March, they held an opening ceremony and ribbon cutting in June at St. Robert Bellarmine Roman Catholic Church, where their office is located. This office will currently serve Howell and Freehold seniors. “For us, we’re going to have a lot more people going on more appointments because at the senior center, although we do appointments, the time frame is extremely limited,” Melanie Decker, Howell Senior Center director, said. She and Howell Business Administrator Jeffrey Mayfield attended the ribbon cutting. “We have a 2- to 3-hour window, and it’s not even every day that we
can bring people for appointments. The other problem is people have to wait an hour sometimes after their appointment is done. So, for the last two months since [Caregiver Volunteers] has been open, we’ve already been referring people. They’ve been doing their assessments and taking people. So it benefits our seniors, and then the Senior Center, because we have staff that is now available to do other things.” The expansion into Monmouth County was prompted by one woman’s phone call. A ngela , 78, who lives i n T he Villages and parishioner at St. Robert, recently lost her husband and cannot drive. She needed help getting to doctors’ appointments and reached out to Caregiver Volunteers. Now they can help. “Our staff, our board, our volunteers are dedicated to providing services to the elderly, the homebound, veterans, people who are disabled over 60 years
old, and caregivers. Our mission is to enable them to live their lives with dignity and joy in the comfort of their own homes,” Executive Director Lynette Whiteman said. Their services include medical transportation, grocery shopping services, friendly visits and phone calls, and easing the burden of caregivers. They do all this through volunteers. They’ve been in Ocean County for more than two decades and have more than 1,000 volunteers. “Now I’m so delighted we are able to bring this community effort to Monmouth County,” Whiteman said. “It began as all things begin, with a need, the need of a parishioner,” Rev. Msgr. Sam A. Sirianni of St. Robert’s said. “A need of assistance, and instead of doing what so many groups do—well, we’ll start our own thing—we looked around to see where we could network, where we could work together. It’s a
blessing at this time to work with people from various backgrounds, various beliefs, various traditions, because as it was mentioned already, the world gets darker each time we turn on the news. The world seems to get colder with each report. So it’s when people of good will join together to work together to show that taking care of our neighbors, taking care of the vulnerable, taking care of the seniors, taking care of those who can no longer care for themselves but cared for others in their prime, that’s a light that makes this world a little warmer and a little brighter. And so I thank you for your work, for your service.” Also in attendance were Freehold Township Mayor Barbara J. McMorrow and Monmouth County Freeholder John P. Curley. Caregiver Volunteers’ Freehold office is located at 61 Georgia Road in Freehold. Howell residents should call 732-876-3900.
Freeholders: Do You Have Your Heat-Wave Plan Ready?
OCEAN COUNTY – “Now’s the time to plan ahead for hot and muggy days,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “Heat ranks among the top weather-related killers in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).” Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) public health coordinator, said, “As summer approaches, forecasters say to expect an increase in temperature and longer and more frequent periods of extreme heat. Our bodies have
less chance to recover during hot days and warm nights, placing everyone at risk for heat illness. When temperatures and humidity are high, sweat ceases to evaporate and the body’s natural cooling system slows down or shuts down completely. Very hot weather can cause heat exhaustion, heat stroke and severe respiratory conditions, which can be fatal.” Regenye added, “Extreme heat especially endangers seniors, young children, people with disabilities and individuals with breathing conditions and other chronic medical conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
and other respiratory and cardiovascular problems. Those without air-conditioning, fans or access to cooling shelters are also at risk.” Some hot weather tips include: Stay cool, stay hydrated and stay informed. Drink plenty of fluids regardless of your level of activity, even if not thirsty. Drink between two to four cups per hour while working outside. Avoid sugary, caffeinated and alcoholic drinks. Limit sun exposure from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and try to schedule outdoor activities in the early morning.
Dress in loose, light-weight, light-colored clothing that covers the skin. Wear sunglasses and wide-brimmed hat. Apply sunscreen with SPF 15 or more ten minutes before going out; re-apply every two hours. Never leave infants, children or pets in a parked car. Visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org for safety tips during the heat and also information on heat-related illnesses, prevention, symptoms and treatment. Follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth or like the Health Department on Facebook.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
The Wealth Was All Mother’s
Dear Joel My husband and I keep our monies separated. We decided this because this is a second marriage for each of us. I want to leave my money to my children and none to my husband. He is upset with me and it has become a big bone of contention between us. I feel like my first husband earned it and that my kids should inherit it. Who is right? Answer: If you are a regular reader of my column. You already know that I prefer not to deal with right and wrong. If I were to do that it would only add to suffering. Additional-
ly I am not an attorney. T he re a re certain states where a spouse is automatically eligible to receive part of the estate. Not knowing what state you live in, I can’t answer that part of this accurately. I suggest that you have a consultation with an attorney. I want to add that this is your “will.” It is yours to do as you wish. I wish you a long healthy life. Joel Write to preferredcares.com.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Swift Saute: Chicken Marsala A Quick Fix For Summer Dinner
By Wolfgang Puck
Apart from the holiday season, of course, summer seems to be the busiest time of the year. But unlike food-centered fall and winter celebrations, from June through August people want to get out of the kitchen as much as possible. Many memorable summer meals are cooked outdoors. Those prepared in the kitchen tend to be quicker. Not only are we dashing around to various warm weather activities; but we also simply don’t want to spend more time than we need to in the warmest room of the house. That’s why I like to saute during summer. Put a pan on the stove, heat up a little oil or butter, add small or thin pieces of food that cook quickly, finish it all off with an easy pan sauce, and you’ve got a delicious one-burner meal ready to serve in less than 30 minutes. One of my favorite sautes at any time of year is a recipe commonly known as Chicken Marsala, named for the fruity-tasting fortified wine from the Sicilian city of the same name. You’ll find it in many Italian restaurants, but the dish is surprisingly easy to make in your own kitchen. Part of the dish’s quick cooking time relies on using thinly pounded pieces, or scaloppini, of boneless, skinless chicken breast. (You can also substitute turkey breast, pork or veal scaloppini.) It’s quick and easy to flatten the scaloppini yourself, but many supermarkets also sell them already prepped and ready to cook. The only other element of the dish many people find challenging is the Marsala wine itself. After all, you may decide at the last minute to cook this dish, but may not want to make a special trip to a wine shop to buy the Marsala. I’ve come up with a solution for you, though. As you’ll see in the recipe, I create a flavor similar to Marsala by steeping raisins in white wine; and you can even add the raisins to the dish, too, for an extra tangysweet surprise. The only other thing you need to complete the meal is a quick side dish or two to serve with the scaloppini. I like rice or mashed potatoes to help soak up the delicious sauce. And baby spinach leaves rapidly sauteed with garlic in a little olive oil makes a perfect vegetable accompaniment. The results are casual enough to serve for a weeknight family meal, yet so beautiful and flavorful that dinner party guests will rave too. And you don’t have to tell anyone how little time you spent in the kitchen! CHICKEN SCALOPPINI MARSALA WITH MUSHROOMS Serves 4 1 cup (250 mL) dry white wine 1 cup (250 mL) seedless raisins 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, each 5 to 6 ounces (150 to 185 g), cut cross-
wise and diagonally into 2 equal pieces Extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped shallots 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic 3/4 pound (750 g) cultivated mushrooms, stems trimmed, caps thinly sliced 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed 3 large fresh sage leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried sage 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce or good-quality bottled barbecue sauce 3/4 cup (185 mL) heavy cream Chopped fresh Italian parsley, for garnish Good-quality canned chicken broth, or water, if needed In a small saute pan or saucepan, combine the white wine and raisins. Bring to a boil over high heat; then, turn off the heat and set aside to steep. Meanwhile, coat the chicken breasts with a little oil. Place 2 halves, spaced apart, in a large heavy-duty plastic bag. With a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy small saucepan, gently flatten the pieces to scaloppini 1/4 to 1/3 inch (6 to 8 mm) thick. Repeat with the remaining halves. Arrange the scaloppini on parchment paper. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Dust very lightly but evenly on both sides with flour. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add the scaloppini, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once and adding a little butter. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with more oil as needed and the chicken. Spoon excess fat from the skillet, leaving a thin glaze. Add the shallots and garlic. Saute until the shallots begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper, and the sage. Saute until the mushrooms are browned and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the reserved white wine and, if you like, raisins. Otherwise, strain the wine through a sieve and discard the raisins. Cook, stirring and scraping to deglaze the pan deposits, until the liquid reduces by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the sage. Stir in the hoisin or barbecue sauce and simmer to thicken slightly. Stir in the cream and bring to a simmer. Return the scaloppini to the pan. Simmer about 1 minute to rewarm them while stirring with a spoon to coat them with the sauce. Sprinkle with some parsley. If the sauce looks too thick, thin with a little broth or water. Divide the chicken scaloppini among serving plates. Spoon the sauce over and around the chicken. Sprinkle with more parsley. Serve immediately.
