Letting The Blue Light Shine

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The latest show of support for police nationwide is a call to shine blue light in to the darkness.

Mayor Ken Palmer made a call for residents to switch out exterior lights around their homes with light bulbs that are the color blue, or tie a blue ribbon around trees, and otherwise thank officers for their efforts. Support is needed in the wake of the “utter horror,” police have faced nationally, such as the murder of officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge.

“My ears, eyes and heart cannot believe the utter horror we have seen over the past couple of weeks,” Palmer said. “Violence against our police will never be the solution or tolerated. We are a nation of laws that define what’s right and wrong. Our police enforce those laws. By doing so they put themselves in the line of fire so we can be safe. How can the police here in Manchester and across

Lakehurst Cancels Farmers Market

By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – The Lake Horicon parking lot has been a little emptier these summer Sunday mornings.

The Lakehurst Revitalization Association announced earlier this summer that it cancelled its Farmers & Specialty Market this year. They released a statement on their Facebook page to disappointed customers.

“We want to thank all those who shopped the market, supporting the farmers, vendors and the LRA. We also want to thank our farmers, M & N Farms, Cedar Post, D & G Farms, Trapper Honey, Dena Bogen of Tastefully Simple and High Mountain Foods who were there every week. You are all awesome,” the June 23 statement read. “We enjoyed each week meeting everyone and getting to know so many wonderful people.”

Most of the vendors are still available locally. However, D&G Farms is no longer in the area.

Safe To Swim In? County Tests Beaches For Bacteria

By Jennifer Peacock OCEA N COU N T Y – T he regular testing by county health officials reveal several beaches with higher-than-permitted levels of harmful bacteria, but in several cases the next-day levels would drop to safety enough for the beaches to remain open.

Each year from mid-April to early September, the Ocean County Health Department monitors the county’s more than 70 rivers, lakes, creeks and other waterways to ensure their safety for bathers.

municipality know. They post it at their beach,” Terjesen said.

They test for Enterococcus and Fecal Coliform, both bacteria found in the intestines of warm-blooded mammals. Enterococcus must read below 104 colonies per 100 ml water and Fecal Coliform below 200 colonies per 100ml of water to be considered safe. The water is immediately resampled to test the levels again.

According to the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, “Swimming in or contact with polluted water can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, respiratory symptoms like sore throat, cough, runny nose, and sneezing, eye and ear symptoms including irritation, earache, and itchiness, dermatological symptoms like skin rash and itching, and flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills. These symptoms are minor most of the time, but can occasionally be more serious, especially in sensitive populations, such as in children and elderly.

People should also not swim with open sores, and see a doctor if a cut does become infected after water exposure.”

For example, the county tested both beaches at Harry Wright Lake in Manchester. The levels exceeded the county’s limits on July 20. The bacteria levels were even higher the following day. While sunbathers were still allowed on the beach, the lake was closed for swimming on July 22 and 23. When the lake was tested at the beginning of the season

on May 17, both beaches were well below county limits on bacteria levels.

“Anybody has the ability to close the beach on the first high count, but it’s not a requirement per the regulations,” OCHD Environmental Health Coordinator John Protonentis said. “The second high count is to close the beach.”

“If they go back the next day, if it’s a high count again, we close the beach, and it will not reopen until we do what’s called a sanitary survey,” Terjesen added. “We have to get a good result, then we do a sanitary survey: Is there an area of birds? is there a boat leaking? We look to make sure there’s nothing besides the lack of movement of water and the rain and the bacteria. So we take this very seriously, we have a summer crew that comes out every day.”

Protonentis said the reason for closings is almost always rain related.

“Most of our high counts we get in the summer are rain driven. It you might get an outlier if we had a complaint if somebody let loose their holding tanks, so far and few between. The rain is really what drives the numbers up,” he said.

Micromedia Publications asked about two specific areas, the beaches in Beachwood and Windward Beach in Brick. Although closings of beaches are typically rare, those have been known to have issues over the years. Beachwood beaches were named among some of the dirtiest back in 2011.

“After it rains, to wait at least 24 hours before they go in the water, because what happens is a lot of runoff, what you have in Beachwood the storm drains, the same thing

at Windward Beach, so there’s higher bacteria content at that time. Also Beachwood at a cove, so there’s not a lot of movement as there is in the rest of the bay and the rest of the river. The same thing with Windward beach, it’s pretty inland, so you’re getting that run-off but not movement,” Terjesen said.

Beachwood has been good this summer, she added.

“They sunk a bunch of money into the Beachwood infrastructure over there for the storm water runoff. What we saw is it’s getting better since they did all the work. Most of the river sites on the toms river are going to be little higher after the rain,” Protonentis said. “Windward is up on the Metedeconk, but it’s the same thing. They get a lot of pollution from upstream, depending on what’s up there, that’s what going to carry down to the beach areas for swimming after rain.”

“Beachwood we test early because we wanted to see if the infrastructure changes were actually doing anything,” Protonentis said. The first recorded level in Beachwood in June showed 10 cfu per 100 ml. The readings were below 10 the following week, but on July 18 read 100 cfu, just below the 104 limit.

Beachwood Borough did not respond by press time for comment.

Up at Windward Beach this season, Brick Recreation Director Dan Santaniello said the season thus far has seen advisories but no closings.

“Those advisories are just that the levels are elevated, and they want to get a second test the next day, and always those levels have

went down from the previous day,” Santaniello said. The lifeguards are constantly raking the beach for glass, geese droppings, and seaweed, he said. Three times a week at Windward they run a beach sweeper as well.

The latest reports at press time showed that Harry Wright Lake, Lake Horicon in Lakehurst, and Ocean County Park Beach all tested high for Fecal Coliform on July 19.

While the numbers were within acceptable range in Lakehurst and Lakewood the following day, Harry Wright Lake stayed high.

OCHD is part of a five-county and other state and local agencies Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program, part of the NJ DEP. Thus far during the summer beach season, all beaches have been open 99.9 percent of the time for bathing.

the problem. On my end, here locally, as your Mayor I ask each of you to show our support for “our” police department by lighting up this town in blue,” said Palmer. “Please go and put a blue light in your outside fi xtures, tie some blue ribbons on your trees and thank our officers if you get a chance. Keep the blue lights on until National Night Out, August 2.”

“There is not an easy solution to dealing with racism. I have lived in NJ, GA, NC and Louisiana. Obviously,

I’d be naive and misleading if I didn’t say racism exists all over. I think about words from my father, ‘We will never know what it’s like to walk a mile in the shoes of someone else. The only thing you can do is treat everyone fair.’ That’s a good starting place,” said the mayor.

Blue ribbons were tied around utility poles along Bennetts Mills Road from West Veteran’s Highway to Butterfly Road in Jackson. Residents around Ocean County are decorating with blue ribbons and blue lights to show solidarity with police departments across the country in light of murders of policemen in Baton Rouge, La. and Dallas.

Lacey HS Boasts Biggest Press Box In Shore Conference

By Chris Christopher here will no longer be a shortage of space in the Lacey High School press box, which overlooks the Lions’ football field.

“It’s the biggest press box in the Shore Conference,” Lacey coach Lou Vircillo said.

It’s the second press box at the site.

The original press box was built in 1981 when Lacey opened. The new box is 50 feet long and has two floors. The previous box was 25 feet in length and consisted of one floor.

“The new box is four times the size of the original press box as the upstairs was enclosed,” Vircillo said. “Most schools have doubled the size of their press boxes in the last 20 years or so due to the requirements the Shore Conference and the state (NJSIAA) have placed on schools in terms of offering the same viewing angles to the visiting team.”

A feature is an enclosed area.

“We have a lot of technology to protect,” Vircillo said. “There is camera equipment worth thousands of dollars that needs to be protected. That is why we decided to enclose the box.”

Vircillo said the box will aid Channel 21, Lacey’s student television station.

“Our students will have about four cameras going at each game,” he said. “Ten to 14 students will be in each suite. The coaching staffs from both teams will be in separate enclosed areas. Our coaching

staff has $10,000 in camera equipment.

We will now have room for people who want to stream our games and provide radio and television coverage, people like MSG Varsity. The new box gives everyone the opportunity to have enough room to function.”

Vircillo said the Lacey Football Foundation raised the money for the press box and a new sound system.

“It spent about $120,000 on the press box and the sound system,” he said. “We solicited partners, people who are willing to partner up with our programs. Very little funding is available for projects such as these.”

Formed in 1996, the Lacey Football Foundation has brought several improvements to the facility.

“Businessmen in town, parents of our graduates and our alumni are members,” Vircillo said. “It has raised money for blocking sleds and other field equipment, things that can help us when our budget comes up short. The group improved our ticket booth and the entrance to our field.

The group has enhanced our locker room and has purchased new strength training equipment. It took just one year to raise the money for the press box.

“What we try to do is raise funds to assure us that we can keep up with our opponents.

It raises money to assist our coaches and players with college placement. The group has put nearly $210,000 in improvements into our stadium. Another $40,000 went

County schools whose fields lack lights.

“They are kind of in the works with an ad hoc committee of community people,” said Vircillo, the Lions’ lone mentor in history. “We are looking at the possibility of lights.

Editorial Give Volunteering A Chance A lot of people want to make their community a better place to live, but few know how to go about doing it. The dilemma is an easy one to solve. If you want to make your community a better place to live, volunteer for something. Anything. Just give your time.

As much as elected officials matter, there may be no group of citizens who have an impact on a community more than its volunteers. Whether it’s in public or civic life, for nonprofit groups or the township, in many ways volunteers make the world go ‘round.

These are people who give up their own time for others. These are folks who give of themselves so others may enjoy their lives just a little more.

They clean up roads and help in hospitals; they work with local children and run group fundraisers; they sit on township committees and work with the elderly; and on and on and on.

Volunteers deserve great praise for what they give to the community, helping a number of causes and groups, which in turn help out friends and neighbors

in ways big and small.

Probably the best-known volunteers are the area’s volunteer first aid squads and fire departments. And that is where the pluses of volunteerism, and the negatives of declining volunteers in the area, are best shown.

Towns throughout the area are experiencing an unusual problem: As their population grows by leaps and bounds, the number of people willing to volunteer for local first aid squads and fire departments has diminished.

Not only has this trend caused problems for communities trying to provide the best emergency services possible, it has also cost towns money as they move towards professional services. While this trend is expected, it’s too bad.

Volunteers have always made for a better, closer community.

If you have some time to give, even just a few hours a week or on weekends, we urge you to consider giving some of that time to a local civic group, charitable organization or emergency service squad.

You, and your neighbors, will be glad you did.

Letters To The Editor New Engines Aren’t Effective The formerly reliable diesel engine has become a thing of the past. Just 10 years ago engines were produced that could be rebuilt multiple times and seemingly last forever. I have seen WWII vintage engines running daily through my career beginning in 1970, and they had already been in service 25 years then.

The past few years have seen that change with environmental regulation getting involved. The diesel engines produced now burn substantially more fuel in the name of cleaner air, which is already cleaner than it was 100 years ago. Construction equipment is such a small fraction in air pollution statistics that no appreciable difference will ever be noted in air quality for these changes.

Companies that have purchased this new generation of diesel engine are already regretting their decision. Not only do they burn more fuel to perform the same work, but the initial cost has ballooned in just a few years, far outpacing artificially low inflation rates. Then there is the maintenance and downtime costs, these computer-mastered engines decide on their own whether they will run or not, with downtime far more frequent than in the past. Downtime for the companies in this respect is at an all-time high.

I see this from a worker’s perspective with 45 years’ experience and the tradeoff for whatever minute benefit has been achieved has been far outstripped by increased costs across the board.

James M. Spickard Little Egg Harbor

Independent Candidate For 2nd Congressional District I am running for Congress because the people deserve better than what the ‘Big Money’ duopoly of Elephants and Donkeys have to offer.

The Dems and Repubs are a two-headed monster with a single body. Like a vampire lusting for blood, this political duopoly lusts for money. They fight each other for the biggest corporations and richest individuals in an attempt to satisfy their greed.

Once their political prize is attained, it is these deep pockets they serve.

For all Congress critters, constituent service should be their greatest priority. This is part and parcel of the job and for the most part done well enough by nearly all of them. This is the reason that the American people when polled express disgust with Congress but like their own Congress critter well enough to return them to office year after year.

Congressman Frank LoBiondo, first elected in 1994 with his six-term limit pledge is now going for his 12th term.

He attempted to justify reneging on his pledge in almost patriotic terms: “Because other Congressman have broken the term limit pledge, it would be unfair to people in his district to abide by it.”

In reality. he couldn’t say the real reason, which was the splendor of eating from the trough.

Mr. LoBiondo’s constituent service has been as good as anyone in Congress, however it is his National Service which raises questions. For him to have a 93 percent

ranking by the NRA means he will not likely support bills requiring background checks or the buying of guns at gun fairs. For a family who loses a loved one from gun violence, no amount of constituent service can ever justify such poor National Service.

Another example of the corrupting influence of big money contributions to Mr. LoBiondo come from his membership in the Drone Caucus. This is basically a group of 58 Congressmen who do the bidding of the drone industry in getting Bills passed favorable to the drone manufacturers’ interests. In return they have received since 2011 $2.3 million. The Constitutional Protections and Privacy Rights of the American people are irrelevant to Mr. LoBiondo and his Caucus colleagues. It’s all about the money.

There are nine major platform priorities which motivate my Congressional candidacy: 1. Income Inequality. It is unacceptable that the top 1/10th of 1 percent have as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent.

2. Ending the corrupting influence of millionaires and billionaires like the Koch Brothers who attempt to buy elections, leaving in place a rigged economy benefitting the 1 percent at the expense of everyone else.

3. Committed to Medicarefor-All. This would provide a single level of care for all Americans without insurance companies being allowed to profit and interfere in the relationship between patients and their physicians. With government officials having the same healthcare as ordinary citizens they would have motivation to make sure it’s the best healthcare possible.

4. Climate change must be immediately addressed by ending our dependence on fossil fuels. In addition to the climate problems they cause cancer, lung disease, and asthma. Recent epidemiological research suggests the ultrafine particles emitted when fracked gas is combusted is a likely factor in the increasing incidence of dementia, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. We must transform our energy system to clean energy jobs with decent salaries for

American workers.

5. Free tuition for students in public colleges and universities. This to be financed by a tax on all financial transactions between the “too big to fail banks.” We bailed them out, now it’s their turn to bail out the American students who are now drowning in predatory loans.

6. Stopping international trade agreements like the TPP. These agreements outsource American jobs to other countries and undermine the wages of American workers.

7. Guns must be controlled by commonsense measures such as instant background checks, closing down the gun show loopholes and banning automatic and assault weapons. It would be a badge of honor to be given a 0 percent ranking by the NRA. 8. Commitment to peaceful solutions rather than violence & war. It is the unforeseen and unconsidered consequences of the Iraq invasion which created ISIS. Recently both Clinton and Trump declared the actions on Bastille Day in Nice, France as an Act of War rather than the actions of a mentally ill person. ISIS claiming that he was one of their foot soldiers is not proof of anything more than a shared hatred of the West. The epidemic of fear and hatred being fueled by politicians on both sides of the aisle makes critical the need for Independent voices in Congress to combat the insanity.

The ultimate elephant in all the Mideast tensions is the illegal occupation for nearly 50 years of Palestinian territory by Israel. America must be an unbiased mediator in this quagmire. It is only when America demands a level playing field in negotiating a just solution will peace prevail.

9. Commitment to work for ending the “Drug War.” We must stop locking up so many non-violent drug offenders and invest in jobs and education instead of more jails and incarceration. It is only by the government controlling and regulating drugs will the deaths of so many Americans from too pure or too impure drugs finally end.

Show Support For Police With Blue Lights

MANCHESTER – My ears, eyes and heart cannot believe the utter horror we have seen over the past couple of weeks.

Violence against police will never be the solution or tolerated. We are a nation of laws that define what’s right and wrong. Our police enforce those laws. By doing so they

How can the police here in Manchester, and across the country not feel enraged, confused and scared? They are only human.

These senseless killings only cause more anger and drive a wedge between the

police and those who feel under-represented, abused and ignored.

As the Chief of Police of Dallas said, he’s accepting applications for those willing to fix the problem. On my end, here locally, as your Mayor, I ask each of my residents to show their support

There is not an easy solution to dealing with racism.

Obviously, I’d be naive and misleading if I didn’t say racism exists all over. I think about words from my father, “We will never know what it’s like to walk a mile in the shoes of someone else. The only thing you can do is treat

Wage System Change Could Increase Pay To Base Employees roughly 600 employees located on the former McGuire Air Force Base and Fort Dix by considering them within the same locality pay area as their Navy Lakehurst counterparts.

“Joi nt Ba se McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is one installation and the men and women who work there

are part of one workforce,” said Smith, who represents half of the Joint Base and has authored the Joint Base Pay Parity Act. “While long overdue, OPM’s move to fi x this outdated policy, which pays some workers at a lower rate for the same jobs performed across the base, is a welcomed step

Governor Signs Terrapin Protection Legislation

NEW JERSEY – Governor Chris Christie signed A-2949 to protect the northern diamondback terrapin as a nongame indigenous species, which is declining due to illegal harvesting, habitat loss and predation.

“Today we join other Atlantic coastal states that have taken an important step to prevent this unique species from any further decline toward extinction.

The diamondback terrapin

is a natural treasure and integral part of our coastal landscape in New Jersey, and this action will help to ensure the species remains a feature of our natural landscape for generations to come,” said Governor Christie.

The terrapin, which live exclusively in brackish waters, is found in coastal marshes and estuaries along the Atlantic seaboard, including the Bar-

Chris Christie negat Bay and along the Delaware Bay. The law bans all harvesting of the creature, designating the terrapin a nongame indigenous species, which also prohibits disturbing the terrapin’s nests and eggs.

and should be implemented expeditiously.”

The regulations follow a n Oct obe r 15 re commendation by the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPR AC) to make this change. After six months of inaction on OPM’s part, Smith again urged the Acting Director Beth F. Cobert to accept FRAC’s recommendations and issue fi nal regulations that correct this outdated policy in an April letter.

“Joint basing has been successfully implemented at McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, but there remains an outstanding issue of gross unfairness for some

employees,” Smith said.

“Once this regulation is adopted, roughly 600 civilians on JB MDL will fi nally receive equally earned pay.”

The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) created 12 joint bases, including what is now Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

After the Joint Base was for mally established in 2009, Smith and the New Jersey Delegation lobbied OPM to move the McGuire AFB and For t Dix employees into the New York region to establish parity on the installation. OPM responded by designating

the General Schedule employees for better locality pay, but this regulation did not include the wage grade employees.

“The Joint Base’s missions are vital to our national security and could not be carried out effectively without the skills of the men and women stationed there, and those working in civilian support roles across the base,” said Smith.

JB-MDL is the largest employer in the region, second only to the State of New Jersey as the largest employer in the Garden State, and contributes $6.9 billion annually to the regional economy.

At the same time, Alton’s abilities have been noticed by the US government as well and they are equally insistent on getting to the bottom of this mystery with Paul Sevier of the National Security Agency leading the Federal pursuit with his own questions. These rival hunts force father and son into a desperate run towards a looming date with destiny that could change everything.

United Way Of Monmouth & Ocean Counties Merge

TOMS RIVER – United Way of Monmouth County and United Way of Ocean County have merged to create United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The new organization has a combined 30-member board of directors and will maintain its two offices in Farmingdale and Toms River. It will jointly serve the residents of both Monmouth and Ocean Counties by partnering with local organizations to build initiatives that address common goals in the areas of education, income and health.

“Separate entities can’t make the same impact as a unified one,” said Jeremy Grunin, new board chair of United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, executive director of The Jay & Linda Grunin Foundation and vice president of Grunin Holdings. “Together, we’ll continue to make a difference for our communities through initiatives that create lasting change, but we’ll also extend our reach, build broader partnerships and deepen the impact of our efforts for the Jersey Shore.”

Prior to being appointed board chair of the combined organization, Grunin served on the board of United Way of Ocean County for the past three years, most recently as an executive board member.

“As a unified entity, we are poised to combine our individual strengths and best practices to better serve the residents of Monmouth and Ocean Counties,” said Timothy C. Hearne, former president and CEO

of United Way of Monmouth County and now president and CEO of the new organization. “There is great enthusiasm among our staff and board members as we come together, and we’re excited to begin this new chapter in our organization’s history.”

Among the first joint initiatives will be the “Stuff the Bus” drive, which collects essential school supplies for students in needs throughout Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

Items will be collected at area stores in the two counties from July 30 through August 14. Visit uwmoc.org/upcoming-events for locations and details.

In addition, United Way’s Financial Success Center is now open to Ocean County residents. Part of the Meridian Community Resource Center at the Freehold Raceway Mall, the Financial Success Center provides free resources to help area residents move from financial difficulty to economic well-being; visit uwfinancialsuccess.org for more information about services offered.

United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties now also has a combined Volunteer Center, which links local agencies with members of the community who want to volunteer. Interested individuals and nonprofits can visit uwmoc.org/volunteer to register.

For more information about the newly formed United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, call Timothy C. Hearne at 732-938-5988 ext. 2050 or visit uwmoc.org.

My Ear Hurts!

Comfort is very important when wearing your hearing aid(s). Discomfort occurs 10 percent of the time and usually happens when trying to remove your hearing instrument from your ear. In most cases, in-the-ear hearing aids (ITEs) and ear molds for behindthe-ear hearing aids (BTEs) can create a sore ear (usually towards the top of the aid or ear mold). When this happens, do not continue to wear the instrument. It’s not like breaking in a new pair of shoes! The next step is to contact your hearing health-care professional who can assess the problem.

The majority of problems occur due to a “tight fit” and can be resolved by either grinding the mold/aid or remaking the entire hearing instrument

or ear mold. Most hearing healthcare professionals can eliminate the problem by grinding and then buffing the problem area. You will be advised to wear the hearing instrument to “test drive” the modification. If this is unsuccessful, you should return to the office and have the aid and/or ear mold remade by the manufacturer. Remind the audiologist/dispenser to mark the area of soreness with a black marker to further reduce the risk of soreness reoccurring.

Remember, if your ear hurts don’t try to get use to it. You have invested a lot of time and money towards better hearing. Contact your hearing healthcare professional immediately who will fix the problem.

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.

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, cautioned beachgoers to be mindful of swimming conditions.

He said, “Any beach can be dangerous, and you to need exercise caution, especially if children are with you. Swimmers always need to be careful. One of the biggest dangers ocean swimmers have is a rip current.

Many times when we hear of drownings at local beaches it is due to someone getting caught in a rip current.”

A rip current is created when the back-rushing of water from the beach is channeled in a direction away from the shore,” explained Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) public health coordinator.

“Some of these can be strong enough to pull you far away from the beach. In studies done by the U.S. Lifesaving Association, it was found that 80 percent of the rescues done by ocean lifeguards involve persons caught in rip currents. Many of these currents are often near man-made objects, such as piers and jetties, which tend to funnel the current offshore, which can pull against a swimmer.”

Regenye continued, “If you feel a rip current or think you might be in one, NEVER swim against it. Try to stay calm, float or tread water and then swim perpendicular to the current, which usually means parallel to the shore.”

Another dangerous item beachgoers face has nothing to do with water. It’s alcohol – and too much of it. Alcohol is one of the biggest factors in drownings on recreational beaches, and studies show that 50 percent of all drowning victims over the age of 13 had significantly high blood-alcohol content.

Here are some tips to have a safe time at the beach: Never swim alone and if possible use a “buddy” system to check on each other.

Swim near a lifeguard and always make sure the lifeguard is visible. Also check out the conditions of the water from the lifeguards. Most drownings occur where no lifeguard is present.

Wear a Coast-Guard approved lifejacket and avoid cheap plastic rafts, especially when a person is a weak swimmer. Be aware that currents and offshore wind may move floating objects quickly away from the beach.

Stay close to kids. Don’t let children swim near permanent structures because there is a much higher chance of a rip current there. Keep a close eye on kids as they tend to wander off by themselves at a crowded beach. Point out the lifeguard stand to them in case they cannot find you.

HeRe’s to youR HeALtH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Nine Tips To Improve Energy And Stop Thyroid Problems

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. 1. There are many thyroid “bombs” and cigarettes are one of them. Smokers have lower serum TSH and higher free T4 and free T3 levels than non-smokers, which makes it appear like smokers don’t have thyroid disease even when they do.

2. Drive old cars. The new ones are off-gassing all the bromide and that competes with the iodine in the thyroid gland.

The bromine, not iodine, gets taken in and that causes the brain to feel fat and fuzzy as well as fussiness.

3. Reduce hydrogen peroxide. Everyone makes this compound in our cells as part of cellular metabolism, but some people make too much and it causes pain and fatigue. It’s a free radical. It can be reduced with supplements of Catalase and Glutathione.

4. Be careful in swimming pools and jacuzzis. Those spending a lot of time enjoying these activities should consider taking an iodine capsule (about 6.25mg) once or twice a week to restore lost iodine.

The chlorine in the pool competes with iodine and may suppress iodine uptake to the point of hypothyroidism.

5. Change toothpastes. Use a fluoride-free brand because fluoride is a bully.

It competes with iodine in the thyroid gland, which will almost always absorb fluoride over iodine. When this happens it blocks production of thyroid hormone.

6. Take a break from fermented foods.

Foods like tempeh, blue cheese, parmesan, salami, alcohol, kombucha and sauerkraut. These foods are loaded with histamine, a known trigger for autoimmune disorders. These cause loads of digestive

problems and fatigue. I wrote a more comprehensive article about this topic, now archived my website.

7. Stop eating candy and soda. Blood sugar swings cause terrible imbalances with sugar and insulin levels. Those eating these things will never get well; it is simply not physiologically possible.

High insulin (needed to neutralize the sweets) is a known factor for cancer, diabetes and pain, plus high insulin makes people overweight and tired.

8. Eat less raw goitrogenic foods. This could reduce the body’s ability to absorb iodine which reduces thyroid levels and starves the reproductive organs of healthy iodine. Avoid foods that are goitrogenic unless you cook them. For example, juicing raw kale every morning is a no-no in my book. Cooking it daily is fine and incredibly healthy. See the difference? Watch out for superfood green powder drink mixes that contain goitrogens. Some common ones include alfalfa, broccoli and cauliflower powders. Also, if drinking this stuff every day it may backfire and cause fatigue.

9. Make sure to digest food. I didn’t say eat the food, I said “digest.” The problem is that food isn’t always broken down completely. This partial digestion is due to years of insult from a bad diet, which reduces secretion of digestive enzymes and increases zonulin. So I suggest taking digestive enzymes to help completely break down all the food. Pancreatin, pepsin, bromelian and others exist in supplemental form, which reduces the amount of ‘circulating immune complexes’ that trigger autoimmune flare-ups.

Regional Day School Teacher, Staffer Of The Year

MANCHESTER – The school district has named Joshua Simpson the Teacher of the Year for Regional Day School.

Simpson holds multiple degrees and recently earned a Master of Arts in Education with an endorsement in Special Education through Stockton University. This summer he will earn the endorsement of Learning Disability Teacher-Consultant upon com-

pleting his final internship. Simpson joined the Regional Day School family in September 2010 as a paraprofessional. In January of 2012 he began his teaching career as the teacher in A-4, a middle school-aged behavioral disabilities program. He also serves as the co-advisor to the Student Council.

“Mr. Simpson is the epitome of compassion and professionalism,” said Principal Lisa

Michallis. “Each day he brings a zest for learning and structure to the classroom for a diverse group of middle school boys with emotional, behavioral and psychiatric disorders. He effectively infuses his passion for history and sports to motivate the students to teach them academic skills. Each day is a new beginning and the most important message he has instilled in his students is

to ‘believe in yourself and strive to be the best you can be.’ Josh, you have made and continue to make a positive impact on the lives of so many children that may not have a coach, mentor or positive male figure in their life. Tonight we celebrate you and all that you have done for the Regional Day School students and faculty.”

Regional Day School Educational Services Professional of the Year is Maureen Romanowski.

Romanowski has been Regional Day School’s Learning Disability Teacher-Consultant (LDT-C) for the past three years.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree and Masters Degree in Special Education and a LDT-C certification.

“The role of LDT-C at Regional Day is a departure from a traditional school based child study team member,” said Principal Lisa Michallis. “Maureen is an active member of our school’s crisis team and Teachers’ Advisory Committee. She is also serves as the School Testing Coordinator and Assistant to the Principal.

“Mrs. Romanowski works collaboratively with her colleagues and has effective problem solving skills. On any given day she can be found greeting students in the hallway, cheering on a student learning to walk, handling a crisis situation, teaching staff how to navigate a Chromebook or app, completing spreadsheets for uploading testing rosters, lending support to a colleague, facilitating an IEP meeting, sharing resources with a needy family, or promoting our school at a community sponsored event.”

Grant Helps With Transportation Needs

OCEAN COUNTY – Under an auto ownership program administered by Ocean County, about 80 people will receive help resulting in a viable means of transportation.

“A viable means of transportation is often the one major barrier standing between a single-mother and life opportunities like employment and child care,” said Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who serves as liaison to the Department of Human Services.

Ocean County expects to reduce that hurdle as it continues its Auto Ownership program in conjunction with St. Francis Community Center on Long Beach Island.

“This program has provided used cars to low income individuals seeking to enter the workforce, in particular in Southern Ocean County,” Haines said. “Viable and safe transportation means individuals can access employment and training opportunities helping them to become self-sufficient wage earners.

“This program not only provides a car, but it provides a person with a renewed self-esteem and pride in getting back on their feet and regaining their independence,” Haines said.

“Ocean County is the only county in the state to run such a program. It is part of the many social and human services we provide to the needy in order to help them regain their independence.”

The program is funded by a $71,630 transportation block grant through the federal program known as TANF or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Individuals are referred to the program by the Ocean County Board

of Social Services. The Board of Freeholders awarded the competitive contract to St. Francis to operate the program on June 15.

“It’s an important step to a better life,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly. “I commend St. Francis for working in partnership with the county and other agencies to help those who are in need. It truly makes a difference.”

Under the program, St. Francis solicits donated vehicles from local car dealers, churches and the general public and partners with local businesses and Ocean County Vocational-Technical Schools to negotiate reduced costs for auto repairs and insurance policies. Ocean County government has donated used vehicles to the program.

Additionally, St. Francis works with clients to arrange driving lessons, and provides instruction in auto maintenance.

“We anticipate about 80 clients will benefit from the program this year,” Haines said.

“While not all will receive a used car, some will be provided with assistance to cover vehicle maintenance costs, registration and title costs, or for their initial car insurance premiums and other related costs associated with having a vehicle.

“This helps with not just getting someone to work, but also to doctor’s appointment, to day care for their children,” Haines said. “Transportation opens up a host of opportunities to low income individuals who are trying to make a better life for themselves and their families.”

Taking Action Against Obesity Dear Joel I am seriously overweight. As a 43 year-old woman, I can’t believe what I have done to myself. When I was younger I had a beautiful body and now look like an inflated balloon. My husband doesn’t seem to mind but I walk around feeling embarrassed with the way I look. I no longer look good in anything; new clothes that I buy do nothing to change my situation. What can I do?

Answer: When we are in situations such as yours, we have a tendency to feel sor r y for ourselves rather than do anything about it. You have choices to make. You can either go on feeling badly about yourself or take control of your situation. I must remind you that when I write this column I am simply a friend to my readers. I am neither a doctor or have formal training in mental health. That being said it is important to me that you see a physician about your condition. You may be at risk for heart disease and diabetes. Both are at epidemic proportions in our country.

As you may know, most diets fail. I do, however, have faith in two organizations for people such as yourself and

so many others who suf fer wit h you. Weight Watchers (of which I am a member) does a fantastic job of helping people who have weight challenges. Another organization is Overeaters Anonymous.

These are inexpensive ways of working toward having a happier life. You may want to visit either as a guest. Weight Watchers has a philosophy of changing one’s lifestyle with a benefit of weight reduction.

I am not a believer in starting exercise and diet at the same time. I feel that your chances of sticking with both are greater if you start either one a month or two apart.

Lastly, as I’m sure you are aware, this is a chicken-and-egg story. It may be that you are unhappy or depressed and use your obesity as a way of expressing it. In other words, it is the opposite of what you describe. I wish you well.

Rutgers Master Gardeners Donate Produce To Local Charities

OCEAN COUNTY – The Rutgers Master Gardeners of Ocean County volunteers (RMGOC), in conjunction with the Farmers Against Hunger organization, pick the “imperfect” produce grown during the local farmers’ growing season. Farmers Against Hunger advertises when the produce is ready to be gathered by RMGOC volunteers, who then come out to gather, clean and then donate the produce to local organizations, such as Catholic Charities, Peoples Pantry, Visitation Relief Center and various church soup kitchens and local food banks.

The RMGOC also runs a garden in which produce is grown, harvested and donated to local food banks and charities. This garden is under the chair of Noreen Baris, Kathy D’Antonio, Rick Marine and Sue Priolo.

These chairs also organize the pickings with Farmers Against Hunger.

Last year, RMGOC harvested, gleaned and distributed over 9,000 pounds of produce such as corn, cucumbers, eggplant, apples, butternut squash, cheese pumpkins, sweet potatoes, white potatoes and cabbage to local Ocean County food banks.

Inside The Law Settlement For Slip And Fall In Supermarket

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

R.C. Shea & Associates is pleased to announce that Michael J. Deem, Esq. recently obtained a $950,000 settlement on behalf of a young lady who slipped and fell in a supermarket on a freshly waxed floor.

The supermarket’s cleaning company failed to place any signage or warnings that the floors were recently waxed and known to be extremely slippery.

Mr. Deem was able to success-

fully demonstrate that the cleaning Michael J. Deem Esq. company made a conscious decision to hire employees who did not follow the company’s safety policies and that the company was aware of the risks of harm associated with the employees’ failure to use warning signs when the floors are waxed.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Ocean County Holds Graduation Ceremony For New EMTs

OCEAN COUNTY – Nineteen new emergency medical technicians celebrated the completion of over 200 hours of training.

“EMTs provide an invaluable service to our community,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who serves as director of Law and Public Safety. “People’s lives often depend on the quick action and competent care of emergency medical technicians.”

The graduates had to successfully complete 200 hours of classroom study and rigorous hands-on training in order to complete the EMT basic training requirements at the Ocean County Training Center. The students spent numerous hours honing their skills in a local emergency room assisting hospital personnel.

“We are pleased to be able to provide this facility for the students and also the instructors who give their time and talent to training these men and women to be the finest EMTs they can be,” Kelly said. “We receive great cooperation from the hospitals and the Monmouth Ocean (MONOC) Hospital Services Corp. in providing this training.”

Upon completion of the required curriculum, each student must score 70 percent or higher on a 100 question written final examination. Students must also pass a practical skills examination demonstrating that they are mentally and physically prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.

“The EMT program demands focus, dedication and sacrifice,” Kelly said. “The students have worked exceedingly hard

to get here and their willingness to give back to their community is evident by their dedication to successfully completing this training.”

Charles E. Livezey, supervisor of Emergency Medical Services Education for MONOC South, told the graduates that completion of this training was the first step in their careers as EMTs. “The field of Emergency Medical Services is constantly changing,” Livezey said. “We have given you the skills. We encourage you to keep learning.”

During the graduation ceremony, Melanie McClellan and Laura Patterson of the Barnegat Light Emergency Medical Services received the John G. Glowacki Award for Academic Excellence.

The graduates are Kimberly Barker, Jennifer Urban, both Pleasant Plains First Aid Squad; Cayla Capito and Luke Vincentini, Lanoka Harbor Emergency Medical Services; Pat Carey, Surf City Fire and EMS; Mikaela Crowley; Thomas Finnegan, Lacey Township Emergency Medical Services; David Hamilton, Toms River Emergency Medical Services; Yehuda Jacob; Phillip Mastoridis, Rowan University Emergency Medical Services; Bryanna Mesimer, Stafford Township Emergency Medical Services; Melanie McClellan; Richard Murphy; Laura Patterson and Kevin Walsh, Barnegat Light Emergency Medical Services; Jeffrey Pharo; Amber Prill, Beachwood Emergency Medical Services; Philip Urban and Jea-Marie Valerio, Bayville Emergency Medical Services.

Interactive Maps Of Water Access Points Now Available

NEW JERSEY – Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin announced a new, interactive public access map for visitors to locate more than 2,900 coastal, bay and river access points in four counties.

“To help residents and visitors get the most out of their summer season, we are also pleased to make available this interactive map, which will provide useful information on beach, bay and river access points in Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic and Cape May counties.

This versatile tool will help longtime New Jersey residents and newer tourists locate the wide range of access points to our tidal waters for all forms of recreation,” said Martin.

The interactive map, which can be found at nj.gov/dep/cmp/access uses Geographic Information System technology to locate the 2,900 points and allows users to get a glimpse of a particular access point via aerial or street view. Additionally, every point features a pop-up window that provides a street address and amenities available at the location, including parking, handicap accessibility, restrooms, boardwalks and forms of recreation permitted.

The information for each spot was compiled by DEP staff. Later this year, DEP will expand the maps to include all public access points in the northeast region of the state and the Delaware Bay and Delaware River.

“We take great pride in the public access for families, boaters, the fishing community and everyone who enjoys t h e s h o r e ,” C o m m i s sio n e r M a r t i n added. “With this great coastal access and our partnerships built through the state’s Cooperative Coastal Monitoring

program to ensure excellent water quality, we look forward to another great summer in New Jersey.”

The DEP spearheads the Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program (CCMP), a joint state, federal and local partnership that routinely tests water quality at 215 ocean and bay beaches across the state.

In 2015, monitored ocean beaches were open more than 99.9 percent of the time. Just two ocean beaches were closed all season as a result of exceeding the recreational bathing beach bacteria standard.

T he DEP, work ing in par t nership with local and county health agencies, monitors water quality at recreational bathing beaches from mid-May to the week after Labor Day. Water quality sampling results so far have shown that New Jersey’s beach water quality is outstanding. Coastal surveillance f lights are also under way, taking place six days per week from m id-May to m id-Se ptember. T hese f lights carefully watch for issues such as algae blooms or debris that might affect water quality.

The DEP has worked with Rutgers University to develop an interactive website and map to show real-time status of monitored beaches at njbeaches.org.

The website allows the public to easily view and download water quality data, notifies the public of any alerts at beaches and shows the daily f light path and the chlorophyll data collected during the f lights. It also includes access to a variety of reports, information about recent research and shore-related links.

For more information about the New Jersey Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program, visit: njbeaches.org.

Local Businesswoman Surprises Gold Award Recipients OCEAN COUNTY – During a speech at the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore’s Gold Award Reception, local businesswoman Carol Stillwell surprised each Gold Award recipient with $500 in recognition of each girl’s achievements and in anticipation of future success.

“I am so certain of all the wonderful things that the 2016 Gold Award recipients are capable of achieving that tonight it is my privilege to offer a small token to help with your future endeavors,” Stillwell said.

“I truly look forward to growing old in a world in which you are our next generation of leaders. I am so proud to know that my future will have you guiding it.”

Stillwell is CEO of Edison-based Stillwell-Hansen. She made the announcement at an event recognizing the 30 Girl Scouts from Monmouth and Ocean counties who earned the award this year. The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore named Stillwell a Woman of Distinction in 2011.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Gold Award. Gold Award projects completed by Girl Scouts this year show-

cased a wide variety of interests and issues, including an autism awareness program, the creation of a database to organize documents for a local historical society and an art program to assist seniors living in an assisted living community.

“The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest recognition a girl can achieve as a Girl Scout. Nationally, it is earned by only five percent of all eligible girls,” said BJ Wood, signature program specialist for the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore. “To earn the award, each girl must volunteer at least 80 service hours to complete a multi-step project that includes identification of an issue with a national or global link, formation of a team to address the issue and completion of a project that makes a lasting and sustainable impact in her community.”

For more information about the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore or the Girl Scout Gold Award program, contact Erick Rommel, chief communications officer, Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, at erommel@ jerseyshoregirlscouts.org or by calling 800-785-2090.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE ADVANCED FOOT & ANKLE SPECIALISTS, PC

To drag one’s feet is to proceed slowly, reluctantly or without enthusiasm. To sweep someone off their feet is to overwhelm with charm. And to stand on one’s own feet is to be independent and self-supporting. These are just a few examples of the many sayings that refer to the feet. But some may ask, why feet? Simply put, because the feet are the foundation of the body and just like any other structure, the body without a strong foundation will begin to suffer possible serious problems, making proper foot care of the utmost importance.

Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, conveniently located in the Whiting Stop & Shop Shopping Center at 400 Lacey Road, Suite 9B, offers patients the exceptional care they deserve in the latest stateof-the-art facility by highly experienced and caring professionals.

Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists was originally founded by Dr. Scott Amoss in 2000 and was formerly located in Toms River. In 2005, seeing there was a great need for his services in the area, Dr. Amoss relocated his practice to Whiting. In February of 2014, with the need for more space to accommo-

date his expanding practice and to house newer, more technically advanced equipment, Advanced Foot & Ankle relocated to its present beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and spacious facility.

The personable Dr. Amoss is a highly-educated professional who is a lifelong resident of the Jersey Shore. The happily married father of three studied and received an undergraduate degree in chemistry at Cook College at Rutgers University. He became a member of a National Chemistry Honor Society and worked for several years as a chemist before he decided to pursue a career in medicine.

Dr. Amoss attended the New York College of Podiatric Medicine where he finished fourth in his class of over 100 graduates and subsequently graduated cum laude in 2000. He is also the recipient of many honors and accolades, including Deans List recognition during all four years while attending the New York College of Podiatric Medicine.

After completing a twoyear surgical residency at William B. Kessler Memorial Hospital in Hammonton, New Jersey, Dr. Amoss received extensive training in fields such as orthope-

dics, vascular, plastic and reconstructive surgery, emergency medicine, dermatology and radiology.

Dr. Amoss was also on staff at the South Jersey Wound Care Center, the largest facility in South Jersey. His expertise and training has led him to be a Board Qualified Foot Surgeon by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. He is also a Diplomat American Board of Podiatric Medicine as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Dr. Amoss is currently on staff at Community Medical Center in Toms River and the Manchester Surgery Center, where he performs inpatient and outpatient surgery. He is also a member of the New Jersey Podiatric Medical Society and American Podiatric Medical Association.

The impressive qualifications at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists are not limited to Dr. Amoss.

Those on his staff are all Certified Podiatric Medical Assistants through the American Society of Podiatric Medical Assistants.

Dr. Amoss and his team of professionals treat all of the common foot ailments including hammertoes, bunions, athletes’ foot, ingrown nails and heel pain. “We treat all ages and everything from the knee down,”

said Dr. Amoss, including P.A.D., or peripheral arterial disease, a common circulatory problem which narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow, causing symptoms such as leg pain when walking. This condition can also reduce blood flow to your heart and brain, as well as your legs. Treatment for Achilles tendon, ankle instability, ankle sprains and sports injuries of the ankle and foot are also addressed.

The new facility also offers on-site surgery, X-rays and biopsies, often finding skin cancer that others may have missed.

“With diabetes being on the rise, proper foot care for those with diabetes is a major concern,” continued

Dr. Amoss. “With a diabetic foot, a small wound can be slow to heal, lead to infection and sometimes severe consequences including amputation. However, at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, surgery is always a last resort.”

Although prestigious qualifications are always important when choosing a physician, impressive qualifications in the compassion department are of equal importance. From the pleasant voice that answers your call to the smile that greets you as you walk through the door of Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, there is a genuine feeling of caring, concern and compassion.

You are never just a number at Advanced Foot & Ankle. Dr. Amoss and his dedicated team all agree that the most important and best part of their job is making a positive impact

on people’s lives. In short, their mission is “Making people feel better,” said Podiatric Assistant Kristen Valentino.

All of your foot care needs are taken care of at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, which also offers a large and stylish selection and expert fitting of orthopedic and diabetic shoes and sandals. They even carry specially formulated nail polish for those suffering from fungal infections.

Extras and details such as these are what makes Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists stand out from the rest.

Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists PC is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call 732-350-0100 or visit them online at AdvFootandAnkle.com.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Master The Secrets Behind An Award-Worthy Asian Seafood Dish

By Wolfgang Puck

QUICK AND EASY CREME BRULEE Serves 6 10 large cage-free egg yolks 1/2 cup (125 mL) plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, plus more for the brulee topping 2 1/4 cups (560 mL) heavy cream 3 slices peeled fresh ginger, each about 1/4inch (6 mm) thick 1/2 cup (125 mL) crystallized ginger, coarsely chopped, if necessary, or fresh berries First, make the custard mixture. Put the egg yolks, 1/2 cup (125 mL) plus 1 tablespoon sugar, cream and fresh ginger in an 8-to10-cup (1-to-1.25 l) high-powered commercial-quality blender. Put on the lid securely.

Turn on the blender to maximum speed.

Leave the blender running until you can see that the custard is steaming hot. When you stop the blender and take off the lid, the temperature of the custard should measure about 195 F (90.5 C). Blend for 7 to 8 minutes, turning off the blender to check with an instant-read thermometer inserted deep into the custard without touching the blades or canister.

Place six 3/4-cup (185-mL) ramekins or custard dishes on a rimmed pan. Divide the crystallized ginger or berries, if using, among the ramekins, spreading them evenly across the bottoms. Pour the custard from the blender into the prepared ramekins, filling them almost to the top. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for several hours to overnight.

Before serving, uncover the custards. Using a sugar shaker or a spoon, sprinkle a thin, even layer of sugar over the custard.

To caramelize the sugar, light a handheld propane blowtorch or kitchen torch, carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Holding the torch close enough to a ramekin so that the tip of the flame touches the sugar, caramelize the sugar layer on one custard, moving the flame back and forth until the sugar crystals melt and turn a deep amber. Turn off the flame. Repeat the caramelizing process with the remaining custards.

Chill the ramekins until the caramelized sugar crusts are very cold and hard, about 1 hour (but do not refrigerate too long, or the crusts may melt). To serve, place the ramekins on small plates, instructing guests to crack the sugar topping by hitting it with the backs of their spoons.
