Casino Pier Begins Expansion Northward
–Photos by Catherine Galioto Pilings mark the outline of the northern expansion of Casino Pier, to allow for thrill rides and more space lost after the eastern portion of the pier’s destruction from Superstorm Sandy. Seaside Heights swapped 1.36 acres of beach for a parking lot farther north.
By Catherine Galioto SEASIDE HEIGHTS – New pilings stand erect on the beachfront, marking the next step in expanding Casino Pier northward. The amusement pier will grow more than an acre to make way for additional rides,
the result of a controversial land swap that pitted environmentalist and public access advocates against those in support of the expansion, who said it would increase tourism and sustain the economy of Seaside Heights. Now, the project is underway, with the
temporary dunes recognizable in the off season pushed aside at Sherman Avenue to mark off where the new footprint of the pier would go. Nearby in the Casino Pier’s maintenance (Pier - See Page 5)
O��icials Clamor To Decide Veterans Parade
By Catherine Galioto TOMS RIVER – The annual Veterans Day parade down Main and Washington streets November 11 may be at risk, with no school bands available to participate, officials said. A rescheduled New Jersey Education Association convention for November 10 and 11 is creating a situation that could leave the parade with no marching bands, leaving those involved to figure out how to preserve the event as a parade without bands, move it to another day, or only hold a Veterans Day ceremony at town hall. The ceremony is the annual conclusion of the parade, which features marching bands, civic groups, emergency equipment, but also walking groups and flat bed floats of veterans and veterans groups such as the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans and more. There’s also the motorcycles of the American Legion Riders, and many other participants. But speaking at the Toms River council meeting September 27, Mayor Thomas Kelaher said the issues stemming from the NJEA convention schedule need to be worked out. Toms River Regional schools are closed from the convention as well as (Parade - See Page 5)
A Focus On Nesting Birds, Turtles In Ocean County
By Daniel Nee There’s both good news and reason for concern when it comes to wildlife in southern Ocean County. It has been an “excellent” breeding year for beach nesting birds, but increased traffic have put terrapins at risk on a local roadway. The birds and terrapins are both the subjects of projects for the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, which has had success with preservation programs statewide, and is adding more local partners in
Ocean County. Its nesting bird program, which often focuses on Long Beach Island beaches, has seen a banner year, according to Todd Pover, Beach Nesting Bird Project Manager for the organization. “The trends are clear,” he said, pointing to figures that are up from a year ago. For the 2016 nesting season, which peaked in August, there were 115 pairs of piping plovers statewide, up from 108 last year – the second consecutive increase after a
record low 92 pairs were tracked in 2014. “The really good news is our productivity this year – close to a statewide record at 1.37 chicks fledged per pairs – puts us in the position to continue our population increase,” said Pover. The increased numbers mean the plover population could produce new breeding pairs in the next few years, Pover said. The population of Least terns and black skimmers were good this year in Holgate, one of the largest colonies of the species in
the state, and made up for a downturn in population in Monmouth County. Though the numbers are difficult to track due to their tendency to nest deep in marshlands, signs indicate the American oystercatcher population is also doing well, Pover said. While the nesting bird population is increasing, the foundation is also working on protecting the northern diamondback terrapin population along Great Bay Boulevard – also known as Seven Bridges Road (Turtles - See Page 26)

the general election November 8. State law requires that school be closed during NJEA convention. To move the parade to November 14, when school is back in session, would require a new permit from the state and county, as Route 166/Main Street is a state road and Washington Street is a county one, and the mayor predicts trouble securing permission
The Toms River Times, October 1, 2016, Page 5 the owners could build the pier northward with more amusements. The pier hasn’t rebuilt to its pre-Sandy size, and instead of rebuilding back out over the ocean, the Storino Family who owns Casino Pier is pursuing beach land for its $30 million project to add rides such as a giant Ferris Wheel. In exchange for giving a parcel of beach to the north of the Casino Pier to the Storino Family for its project, the
borough of Seaside Heights would get one of the Storino-owned parking lots in town, between Carteret and Sampson Avenues. That lot could possibly become the home of a museum that would house the historic carousel, transferring ownership of the landmark, hand-carved ride for preservation by the town. Originally, Casino Pier sought to build its pier south, buying land south, but a deal could not be reached between the
owners. Rebuilding the pier to its length over the ocean is cost-prohibitive, its representatives said. That back part of the pier famously fell into the Atlantic Ocean as a result of Superstorm Sandy, the Jet Star roller coaster sitting in the water. This week, construction crews arrived for the initial work, temporarily closing the portion of the boardwalk near the Aztec to move in equipment.
in time. There are six marching bands (three high school and three intermediate) in Toms River Regional, plus the band of Donovan Catholic in Toms River. “If they want to have a parade on Veterans Day, and march without bands, they can certainly do it,” said the mayor. Several members of local veterans groups were in the audience at the September 27 council meeting. “There is no truth to the rumor that we want to cancel anything…We are here to
support them.” At the least, the township could still host its ceremony on Veterans Day in its courtyard, as it does each year. The Toms River parade is often the largest Veterans Day parade in the county, with Toms River as the county seat. It’s level of activity on a Monday, the possible rescheduled day of the parade, could be a concern, as court is in session and parking would be at a premium to close the roads for the hour.
Parade organizer Ken Langdon emphasized that time element in his comments at the council meeting. “We’re making a big fuss for disrupting the community for one hour?” he said, adding he plans to seek a change to November 14, asking the freeholders at their next public meeting to approve such a move. Kelaher said a meeting with the Toms River American Legion Post officers was scheduled for September 28 and even discussion an option with Jackson Township was in the mix.
Trick-Or-Treating Set For Sunday Before Halloween In Toms River
OCEAN COUNTY – Due to the 78th annual Toms River Halloween Parade taking place on October 31, the traditional ‘trick or treating’ activities in Toms River will be observed on October 30. Toms River Mayor Thomas F. Kelaher said in order to avoid a conflict with the Halloween Parade, Toms River will observe Halloween on October 30.
“This was a joint decision made by the Township, Toms River Fire Companies and the Toms River Police Department. We want children to be come to the parade with their families but still enjoy the time honored tradition of trick-or-treating.” Police Chief Mitch Little says while Halloween is one of the most enjoyable times of the year for children, it also presents dan-
gers if the proper precautions are not taken. “On October 30, motorists should be aware and drive with extra caution. We advise parents to accompany children or have kids trick-or-treat in groups, always carry a flashlight for safety, stay on sidewalks or as close to the curb as possible and only go to houses where the porch lights are on.” While there is no official curfew in Toms
River, Little says that all trick-or-treaters will be asked to be off town streets by 9 p.m. “As always please contact the Toms River Police Department if you see or hear any suspicious activity. Have a safe and Happy Halloween,” said Chief Little. For parade information, visit trfc1.org/ halloween.html.

Pet Ministries Bless Four-Legged Friends
By Lois Rogers The fifth annual Blessing of the Animals, Pet Fair and Pet Adoption Day unfolded on the wide green lawns behind St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, Herbertsville Road, Brick, with scores of critters and the “service humans” who gathered with them for recognition of their place in God’s creation. One-by-one and sometimes two-by-two, as in the case of a couple of pooches who rode a cart to receive their blessings from Pastor Alan Darby, the critters reflected the peaceable kingdom at its best. The sense of tranquility continued even after the pets – mainly dogs with a sprinkling of cats – received their blessings. Settling in shady spots, the pets munched on treats and slurped from huge water bowls thoughtfully set out by members of the congregation’s Pet Ministry which sponsors and coordinates the community outreach event. Among four and two-footed friends relaxing after the blessing were Susan Keenan and Xena, her canine partner in rescue operations with a team based out of Wendell, North Carolina where she has taken many training classes. Keenan, Brick, is a retired Elizabeth police officer. This is the second year she and Xena, a stately, rescued Belgian Malinois, have come for the blessing on their rescue missions. It’s a mission Keenan embraced because “so many people and families need help in finding loved ones,” she said. The majority of the searches undertaken by
the team have been for the K9 Emergency Response Team in North Carolina, she said. “They are like family down there,” said Keenan who added that she loves the ongoing mission. “We come (here) to ask for God’s help,” as they venture forth in the quest to reunite people with their loved ones. Janine Siano, also Brick, brought Buzz, her very polite beagle to his first blessing since she rescued him from an area shelter. “We were away on vacation and went out of our way to be here,” said Siano who spoke of how Buzz brought her out of a bout with anxiety and depression. “I wanted a dog to help me and I went to a shelter with thoughts of rescuing a shepherd,” she said as Buzz nuzzled her hand. “But Buzz picked me,” she added, describing how he approached her warmly and encouraged her to pet his head.” “He was a return to the shelter and he was the smallest dog there,” Siano said, noting that she quickly bonded with Buzz as did her husband. “This feels like a great event,” Siano said of the day. “It feels Godly.” Along with the blessings, it was a day that offered a lot of practical information and entertainment. The church Pet Ministry rounded up more than 30 animal related vendors and 10 non-profit organizations focusing on rescue and adoption. There were demonstrations by professional dog trainers and K-9 demonstrations and canine massage therapists. A highlight of the visit for many children
was the petting zoo set up by Legacy Ranch, Howell, where Pastor Darby conveyed blessings to, among others, a couple of skunks, Tom the turkey, a duck named AFLAC, an emu, a lama and a very fetching pig. There was a lot of traffic in and out of the rescue organizations including the trailer operated by the S.A.V.E. Rescue Shelter currently located on Fischer Blvd. in Toms River but soon to move into a new facility on Route 9, according to Michele Verga who called the day a good over all outreach to the community at large.
And that is the intention of the ministry said Ivy Kirn, who helped found it. “Our mission is to support and honor God’s charge to us to honor the animals,” said Kirn. She added that the group steadfastly works make good on that pledge, not only with the Blessing and fair, but with initiatives throughout the year. A new initiative is to ask congregants to contribute to support a shelter every month. There are two shelters receiving support now, she said. “Our goal is to have a 12 month presence,” over time, she said.

Featured Letter Be A Candle That Lights The Way The last line of the first parag raph of the St ar Bangled Banner, “O’er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave” should be the motivation for paying respect to our Flag. Some may question their freedom because of the actions of a few, but we are all bound by laws and judicial powers that prevail. Tr ue, we may have some rogue police, but should we turn our back on all those who do ser ve a nd protect, both military and civil, in all t y pes of st r ife? Isn’t it the braver y of ou r m i l it a r y t h at h a s kept ou r cou nt r y f ree from oppressors? Police departments throughout the nation are on call 24 hours a day. Police of any color are a welcome sight when the call for h el p i s s o u n d e d . L e t us not judge all by the mistakes, and prejudice, of a few. All society has some inequity in the way laws are enforced. Some see enforcement of laws as b ei ng t he fo ot of t yrants on their back, but i n many com mu n it ies
it is law en forcement that protects the most vulnerable. Should society blame all police for the transgressions of a few? Should we blame e nt i r e bl a ck c o m mu nities for the sins of a few? Or, should we all stand up and try to right perceived wrongs? The K n ig ht s of Colu mbu s have as their motto, “It is bet t e r t o l ig ht one ca nd le, t ha n to cu r se the darkness.” Let all of us be the “candle that lights the way,” by working within the system without denigrating the work done by those who do a difficult job, under trying conditions, both military and civil. Rather than stok ing the fires of discontent, b e c o m e a n a d vo c a t e for prioritizing family and civil values to all you may touch or reach. Blatantly showing disrespect for our nation’s symbols will not only tarnish your name, but also besmirch our nation’s icons. Charles L. Frattini Manchester Twp. Councilman

Letters To The Editor Shouldn’t Be Too Proud It’s taken me over a month to get past the shock of reading just part of your article entitled “Local Comic Back on America’s Got Talent” on the front of your August 13th issue. So, this comedian “dropped the f-bomb on stage,” representing Whiting, and a letter is written on behalf of the Mayor saying “we are thrilled,” and “we are proud,” and “we are behind you every step of the way,” to this individual? Your article goes on to have the Mayor encouraging our local comic just as he would “one of our graduating high school students off to tackle the world.” Having thought about this a lot, it makes me wonder if the Mayor would write a letter of praise to any high school student who dropped the f-bomb while giving a speech during his or her graduation, or while applying for a job? While happy to see someone local on national TV, I’m disappointed in the Mayor for giving his blessing to this behavior. As for “America’s Got Talent,” I never watched it before and I certainly don’t intend to start watching it when Whiting is represented in this way. Chet Jelinski Whiting
Refused To Serve Last night, I watched Donald Tr ump tell why he thought he should be Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.
As I watched, I could not help but contrast his military experience with my ow n. Don ny a nd I graduated high school in the same month. He spent that summer having a good time, getting his first deferment. I spent that summer, like thousands of others, in basic training. While Donny was enjoying his second semester of college, my brother in law was killed in Vietnam. I was in Georgia, learning to be an operating room assistant. When Donny received his second deferment, I was at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, helping to deal with the hundreds of casualties of the war our country was fighting. When Donny got his third deferment, I was overseas. When he got his fourth deferment, I was just out of the Army and looking for a job, and struggling with PTSD. Donny graduated college that year. With his degree, if he had accepted his fifth call to serve his country, would likely have been put in the Finance Corps, and would have served his entire term of service at Fort Benjamin Harris, signing checks. Donny, instead, wrangled a fifth deferment. So, my question is, should the Commander in Chief be a coward who thought he was too good to serve, even as a payroll clerk? A man who calls those who did serve, “losers,” a man whose military service is less than that of a WAC, – should this man, who re-

Support Hagler For Commissioner A lifelong resident of Long Beach Island, I am thrilled to learn that Danielle Hagler, a young woman who I’ve known for over 30 years, is now a candidate running for Commissioner of Long Beach Township. In the many years I’ve known Danielle, I have found her to be an intelligent, highly motivated, honest, ethical, successful, kind and allaround great person. Danielle has an abundance of experience in leadership and in years of bringing people together to improve their lives. She is a graduate of Southern Regional, Coastal Carolina University and holds a Master’s Degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Danielle’s success in all areas of employment (Hagler’s Marina, several positions in the Fulbright Commission) as well as her community involvement (Coastal Volunteers in Medicine), show that Danielle has the spirit and attitude that it takes to represent the residents of Long Beach Township both impartially and successfully. Knowing that she is one of very few women to run for the Board of Commissioners for Long Beach Township, I couldn’t be more hopeful or excited for my friends/ neighbors who live in the Township and who have the opportunity to elect Danielle. While we all are aware of the high concentration of women business owners/operators in the Township, having Danielle on the Board of commissioners will provide an impartial, yet highly experienced voice for the men and women of Long Beach Township. Danielle and her husband have a vested interest in keeping Long Beach Township a hometown commu-
nity, one in which to reside and raise their newborn daughter. Although I reside in Barnegat Light, I take an interest in what is happening in each of the towns of the Island as one aspect or another will surely impact me. It’s my belief that Danielle Hagler will serve the residents of Long Beach Township well, and that she is the type of person needed to lead the Township community in the right direction. I fully support Danielle and her team because they represent what our Island community needs most. Becky Tarditi Barnegat Light
Lenape Homeland We’ve all heard place names like Man hattan, Hoboken, Rumson, Navesink and Manasquan. What few know is that these are all Lenape words, the language of the native people of New Jersey, along with Delaware, and the NYC-Philly metro areas. But in the region, there isn’t a single federally recognized Lenape reservation. Looking deeper into the history reveals broken treaties, broken promises, genocide, and forced exile. Lenape survivors were forced under duress to Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. The maltreatment and murder of Lenape is the dirty secret of New Jersey history. One that most ignore entirely, or heavily whitewash. The Lenape were promised their own sovereign state in New Jersey for fighting the British during the American Revolution. The government lied. They proceeded to kick out the survivors from their land, with a mere $1,000 Spanish Dollar payment under duress. End this genocide, fraud, and apartheid. Give Lenapehoking back to the Lenape, stop the fraud of New Jersey, and tell Chris Christie the Governor isn’t wearing any clothes. Eric Hafner Toms River

Five Nights Of Fun
TOMS RIVER – Singer/Activist Emel Mathlouthi will perform at 7:30 p.m. on October 13 on the main stage at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College. Tickets are $20 to $25. Get a 15 percent discount when purchasing five or more tickets. Firebrand Tunisian singer, songwriter, guitarist, and composer Mathlouthi, inheritor of the legacy of American and Arabic protest singers of the 1960s, stands with the great
divas of the Arab World. Mathlouthi gained world attention when her 2007 song “Kelmti Horra (My Word is Free)” was adopted by the Arab Spring revolutionaries on the streets of Tunis and by yearning youth around the Arab world, earning her the nickname “the voice of Tunisian Revolution.” Mathlouthi is devoted to her Tunisian folk roots but deeply influenced by such Western artists as Joan Baez, Massive Attack, Bjork, and her sometime-collaborator Tricky.

Chief Mission Of�icer For The Girls Scouts Named Women’s Advocate Of The Year
TOMS RIVER – Bahiyyah Abdullah has been involved with girl scouting for more than 34 years whether as a volunteer or in her current position of chief mission officer for the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore. “She is someone who has had a positive effect on the lives of hundreds if not thousands of girls and women in Monmouth and Ocean counties,” said Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Advisory Commission on the Status of Women. “Over more than three decades, Bahiyyah has worked to instill courage, confidence and character in young women through her work with scouting. “Whether it is her work with scouting or her advocacy in so many other areas, she is a wonderful choice of Women’s Advocate of the Year by the Ocean County Advisory Commission on the Status of Women,” Haines said. Abdullah, a resident of Barnegat Township, was honored by the Women’s Commission during the 2016 Women’s Advocate of the Year breakfast on September 24 at Days Hotel. Haines noted that the 2016 honoree embodies the mission of the Women’s Commission which includes advocating for the advancement of women in society by acting as a liaison to many community organizations, women’s groups and social services agencies. In addition to her work with the Girl Scouts, Abdullah also advocates on behalf of civil rights, children and arts and history. She actively volunteers with many national, state, regional and local organizations that support these efforts and currently serves as President of the Toms River Area Branch of the NAACP; Commissioner for the New Jersey State Martin Luther King Jr. Commission; Vice Chair of the Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission; Immediate Past President for the North Jersey Shore Chapter of the Continental Societies, Inc. (local & national service); President of the New Jersey Circle-Lets, Inc. and Associate/ Lifetime Member of the Jersey Shore Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. She also serves on the Board of Directors
of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Ocean County, and the Central Regional Network Committee of the American Conference on Diversity. In a recent interview in the Ocean County Cultural and Heritage Commission publication “Out and About,” Abdullah noted the humanitarian drive stems from her gratitude toward those who helped her along her path and from a natural belief in giving back. “We all have an obligation to give back,” said Abdullah, who is the mother of three and grandmother of five. Abdullah has been honored by a host of organizations and agencies for her advocacy work and her supporting contributions. She has been recognized with the Barnegat Township Volunteer of The Year Award; the Humanitarian Award from the National Conference of Community Justice (NCCJ); the Constance K. Weaver Award from the United Way of Ocean County; the Whitney M. Young Award from the Jersey Shore Boy Scout Council; the President’s Award from the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore; the President’s Award from the New Jersey State Conference of the NAACP; the Community Services Award from the Toms River NAACP and the Outstanding Women’s History Award from the Ocean County/ Lakewood NAACP. She also has been honored by the Alliance for Women in History, the Ocean County Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc., Women of Purpose, Inc., and was the 2009 Ocean County Women’s Hall of Fame Inductee by Soroptomist International of Toms River. Abdullah holds a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Political Science and Criminal Justice from Jersey City State College. She is the widow of Civil Rights and Head Start advocate, Saleem Abdullah. “The Women’s Commission Advocate of the Year Award celebrates the achievements and advancements that have been made in programs and services for women,” Haines said. “Bahiyyah’s story is one of dedication and commitment to improving the lives of women and their families.”

Inside The Law Is Rental Insurance Necessary?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Robert Shea and Michael Deem of R.C. Shea & Associates
Strictly speaking, a lessee–you–is not required to pay the rental company additional money to insure their rented vehicle in the event the lessee is involved in a collision. New Jersey requires that all rental agencies provide liability coverage for lessees in the sum of $15,000.00 per person for bodily injury or death, $30,000.00 for bodily injury or death of all persons in one accident and $5,000.00 for property damage arising out of the negligent maintenance, use or operation of the rental vehicle upon public highways. In New Jersey, every owner or registrant of a vehicle must maintain certain statutorily minimum coverage for bodily injury, death and property damage. A lessor, such as Avis or Enterprise, is the owner of the rental vehicle(s), therefore they are legally responsible for maintaining the statutorily minimum insurance on their vehicles. An insurer’s policy that attempts to exclude you (the lessee) from
coverage is not enforceable. A rental company cannot take away your statutory rights. In addition, your personMichael J. Deem Esq. al automobile insurance policy will act as excess insurance in the event you injure someone or damage their property as a result of the negligent maintenance, use or operation of the rental vehicle upon public highways. If you choose to pay the rental company extra money for their insurance then ask them what it is you are purchasing? If they are legally required to provide you with basic liability coverage are you then purchasing excess insurance? If so how much additional insurance are you purchasing?

New Jersey Hematology Oncology Associates, LLC
Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.
WHITING – Mothers are on the front lines of dealing with sons or daughters who are in addiction, but most are not equipped to know what to do or not to do. They are so accustomed to nurturing our children (even as adults) that they often end up enabling addictive behavior. They also need the love and support of other moms who are going through the same deep waters of seeing their children destroy themselves and ripping out their hearts in the process. Love Them To Life is a group designed to support, encourage, and educate mothers of addicts. The purpose of the group is to let moms know that they are not alone, to help them get healthy in their bodies, souls, and spirits, to help them understand that Jesus Christ is the only true bond-

The site includes parent forums as well as a take home guide for future reference.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Elbow Up For some folks, inserting your hearing aid into your ear can be a real struggle. Sometimes you twist and turn the hearing aid which eventually creates a sore ear. Here are a few tricks you can utilize to properly insert your hearing instrument into your ear canal. First, for custom, non-behind-the-ear products, the “red” writing on the aid is for the right ear and the “blue” writing is for the left ear. Second, when you are inserting the aid, the “vent hole” is usually on the bottom of the aid facing outside.
Third, as you are trying to insert the instrument, make sure your elbow is “up” in line with your ear and push toward your nose. If your elbow is down, you may not insert the aid in the right direction. Thus, the aid may “stick” out of your ear and constantly ring. Remember, if you are struggling with hearing aid insertion, keep your elbow up while inserting the aid. This will make life a lot simpler and alleviate potential ear soreness and feedback. Finally, make sure you keep in close contact with your hearing healthcare professional who is there for guidance.
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.

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
This is How you Feed your Brain By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The biggest fear that older people face is Alzheimer’s disease, where memory and cognition begin to fade. I recently reviewed a client’s list of medications and he was taking two drugs to preserve brain function, Aricept and Namenda. These drugs are useful to some degree, but I feel that there are foods, spices and herbs in your own kitchen that go a long way to preserve cognitive function, stabilize mood and lower levels of anxiety. I absolutely love spices that heal, so much so that I have a free ebook “Spices that Heal” which you can download right now at my website suzycohen.com. This ebook talks about spices that heal all kinds of conditions. Now, here is how you properly feed your brain: Put hemp seeds in your salad. Hulled hemp seeds put healthy fats into your body, and offset the bad fats typical of an American diet. Hemp seeds have practically no THC, the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. They have a perfect 3:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids. Put a tablespoon (daily) on your salad, scrambled eggs or roasted vegetables. Sprinkle my recipe for Brainpower Season Salt. Mix together the following 6 seasonings in equal amounts and put into an empty salt shaker. Sprinkle as desired: Rosemary, powdered gotu kola (get from an apothecary), himalayan salt, onion powder, powdered garlic (not garlic salt) and powdered turmeric. Eat mushrooms. I’m not talking Portabellos, I’m referring to Lion’s Mane
which gives us the active ingredient of Hericium erinaceus. Lion’s Mane is sold as a dietary supplement, and known for its potent neuroregenerative powers. I buy the real mushrooms in the fresh produce section and butter sauté them with Brussels sprouts and garlic. Lion’s Mane is a neurotrophic so my pick for you if you have any kind of brain damage from anything (trauma, benzos, mold, etc). Drink Juice. We all think of antioxidants as a dietary supplement, like Vitamin C, for example. Citrus juice is a great source of natural vitamin C so a few ounces of orange juice would provide natural C which helps you make dopamine, serotonin and other neurotransmitters that a healthy brain requires. Eat Foliage. By foilage, I mean salads and greens to give you folate, the natural form of the synthetic vitamin “folic acid.” Leafy greens like kale, spinach, broccoli, Swiss chard and lettuce have a lot of folate. Greens also provide powerful antioxidants so eat something green every day. I recommend you cook cruciferous vegetables in order to reduce goitrogens. Obviously you don’t cook the lettuce. Say yes when they offer black pepper. The servers will often ask if you want black pepper on your salad at restaurants. Say yes next time because piperine, the primary component of black pepper slows the breakdown of serotoin and raises other feel-good endorphins. Studies are ongoing for black pepper’s role in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

HHS Awards $1.6M For Health Centers’ IT Enhancements In New Jersey
LAKEWOOD – Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell announced $1,664,595 in funding for 23 health centers in New Jersey for health information technology enhancements. Among them are two Lakewood-based facilities: Lakewood Resource And Refer-
ral Center Inc. that received $69,134; and Ocean Health Initiatives Inc., that received $72,771. In total, the announcement includes $87 million in funding for 1,310 health centers in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the
Pacific Basin. “Health centers across the country are instrumental in providing high-quality, comprehensive primary health care to millions of people,” said Burwell. “This investment will help unlock health care data and put it to work, improving health outcomes and

building a better health care system for the American people.” The funding will support health information technology enhancements to accelerate health centers’ transition to value-based models of care, improve efforts to share and use information to support better decisions, and increase engagement in delivery system transformation. To support these goals, all purchases or upgrades of electronic health record systems made with the funding must use technology that is certified by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. This is the first significant investment since 2009 directly awarded to health centers to support the purchase of health information technology. “These awards will allow health centers to deliver higher quality of care to patients and spend health care dollars in a smarter way,” said Jim Macrae, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Acting Administrator. Nearly 1,400 health centers operating over 9,800 sites provide care to more than 24 million people across this nation, in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Pacific Basin. Today, health centers employ nearly 190,000 people. This funding comes from the Affordable Care Act’s Community Health Center (CHC) Fund, which was extended with bipartisan support in the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015. The increased use of health information technology is part of the administration’s efforts to build a health care system that delivers better care, smarter spending and healthier people.

Ocean County Distributes Recycling Revenue To Towns
OCEAN COUNTY – While some markets are seeing a steady decline in the sale of recyclables, Ocean County continues to make every effort to return a portion of recycling revenues to its participating municipalities. “We are returning almost $100,000 to our municipalities for materials recycled during the first half of 2016,” said Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the county’s recycling program. Under the Ocean County Recycling Revenue Sharing Program, municipalities are provided a portion of the recycling revenues based on the amount recycled and the market price of the material. During the first half of 2016, Ocean County collected 37,883 tons of recyclables from its municipalities. The payout for the period was $2.57 per ton. As a result of these recycling efforts, municipalities collectively saved $2.7 million in the fi rst half of 2016 by not dumping those materials in the landfill where they would have to pay a tipping fee, said the freeholders. Little noted that since Ocean County began the Recycling Revenue Sharing program in 1995, the County has returned more than $15 million to its municipalities. The amount returned to the towns, under the revenue sharing program is based on the amount of recyclables collected and brought to the County and the price per commodity in the current market. “These prices change all the time,” Little said. “And even though we have seen a decline in the average price of many of the commodities we recycle, we are still able to return money to our towns.”
For instance, tin cans are down $34 per ton to $98 per ton, aluminum has seen a decline of $163 per ton and some plastics have decreased by as much as $140 per ton in comparison to the same period in 2015 when the payout per ton was $6.56. Little said towns can use the money as needed although many invest it back into the recycling program. The largest recycling revenue sharing checks will go to Lakewood, Toms River and Brick townships. “And, while these are the county’s largest municipalities, I applaud all of our towns, even the smallest, for their ongoing recycling efforts,” Little said. The towns and the amounts they are scheduled to receive are: Barnegat Township, $3,330; Barnegat Light, $220; Bay Head, $218; Beach Haven, $667; Beachwood, $1,193; Berkeley Township, $5,387; Brick Township, $12,068; Eagleswood Township, $312; Harvey Cedars, $181; Island Heights, $284; Jackson Township, $6,307; Lacey Township, $4,692; Lakehurst, $318 and Lakewood Township, $18,214.

– in Tuckerton. “Unfortunately, Great Bay Boulevard lacks a formal speed limit and mortality rates as a result of vehicle collisions are just one of the dangers the terrapin face,” said Corrine Henn, communications coordinator for Conserve Wildlife. Hundreds of terrapins cross the road each year looking for suitable nesting sites in the marshes on either side, Henn said.
“From what I’ve seen and experienced from the beginning of this project is that many more people are more aware of terrapins on the road,” said Habitat Program Manager, Ben Wurst. “It is critical to have the support of the local community as they are the ones who frequent the area the most and can really play a huge role in their long term conservation.” In recent months, the Great Bay Terrapin Project has seen success in combatting kill rates along the road. The organization has started tracking and “notching” terrapins
so they can be recaptured to ensure their health. The project has also led to new signs being posted along the road and fencing installed on busy sections to prevent the terrapins from crossing. There has also been an effort by volunteers to physically look after the species. “Our volunteers conduct road patrols to collect data on terrapins that are encountered on road and also help ensure that they cross safely,” said Henn. This summer, the project received a boost from Absolutely Fish, an aquarium mainte-
nance company that also has an education and conservation mission. The company donated $5,000 to keep the preservation effort alive. The money was raised after the company hosted a live terrapin in their store. “People come into the store specifically to see her and are generally much more willing to help, donate, or take information when we have a terrapin in store,” said Jennifer Ruivo of Absolutely Fish. The full tally of the area’s terrapin population is expected to be announced this fall.
Salute To Patriotism Gala Celebrates 21st Anniversary Of New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation
HOLMDEL – This year’s New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation Salute to Patriotism Gala will celebrate the 21st anniversary of the Memorial and honor Senator Steve Sweeney for his support of veterans and active duty military. The gala will be held October 27, with a reception at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m., at the Eagle Oaks Golf and Country Club, 20 Shore Oaks Dr., Farmingdale. Since 1995, the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memor ial has provided a place to honor those who have served and continue to serve our country. The Memorial is a place “To Remember, To Heal, To Honor” through ceremonies and outreach programs. The adjacent Vietnam Era Museum and Educational Center is the only museum of its kind in America. Senator Steve Sweeney, the President
of the New Jersey Senate since 2010, has represented the Third Legislative District since 2002, and has been a leader on important state issues, including fighting to improve the lives of our state’s Veterans. As Senate President, he has dedicated himself to making sure New Jersey Veterans are treated with dignity and respect. The Senator oversaw the passage and enactment of numerous pieces of legislation benefitting Veterans and their families including: Veteran to Veteran Peer Support Program telephone hotline, Military Dependents Scholarship Fund Act, Veterans Haven Council to protect Veterans against the danger of homelessness, Tax and incentive programs for Veter-
ans and Veteran-owned businesses. Sweeney has long believed that Veterans are among the most dedicated and hardworking individuals, and fought for the Helmets to Hardhats Program that assists Veterans looking for work in the construction industry, particularly through a partnership with the Turnpike Authority. To make sure Veterans receive the public recognition for their sacrifice that they deser ve, Senator Sweeney successfully called for legislation and resolutions to rename several roadways in honor of our state’s military men and women, including designating a portion of Route 47 in Glassboro as “South Jersey Vietnam Veterans Highway.” While serving as Gloucester County Freeholder Director, Sweeney committed himself to making sure Veterans had a
strong advocate. Some of his most significant accomplishments include creating a full-time Veterans Affairs Off ice, opening a health clinic for Veterans, building the Gloucester County Veterans Memorial Cemetery and beginning the acclaimed Wall of Heroes Memorial to honor those men and women killed or missing in action in service to the United States Military. The Gala will feature an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, silent auction and live music. Tickets are $200 for individuals and $400 for couples. Dress is business attire. Moderator for the evening is Jack Ford, noted legal analyst. Sponsorship opportunities are still available. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 732-335-0033 or visit njvvmf.org.
American Littoral Society Awarded Scholarship Money
TOMS RIVER – The American Littoral Society was awarded $1,500 by the OceanFirst Foundation of Toms River to provide scholarship money for children to attend summer camp on Sandy Hook. Besides introducing them to marine science, this camp provided the first opportunity for some of the children to visit the ocean. The Littoral Society hosts Summer Coast
Camps each year on Long Beach Island and at Society headquarters inside Gateway National Recreation Area’s Sandy Hook Unit. This summer 12 students attended camp at Sandy Hook. Among those were six students from Keansburg Middle School whose attendance was paid for through a generous grant from the OceanFirst Foundation.
The children spent the week at Sandy Hook seining, surf fishing, and learning about the coastal ecosystem. They also got a tour of the National Oceanographic and Aeronautic Administration James J. Howard Marine Sciences Laboratory, where they learned about fisheries and climate change research, as well as what a career in marine science looks like.
“We are grateful that OceanFirst Foundation understands the value of giving children a chance to spend time at the ocean,” said Tim Dillingham, executive director for the American Littoral Society. “Standing on a beautiful beach and learning about the life in these waters is the best way to foster life-long care and concern for coast.”

American Stroke Association Urges Empowerment During National Hispanic Heritage Month
NEW JERSEY – Each year Americans obser ve National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, celebrating the culture, contributions and history of Latinos. The American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association, empowers Latinos to
take time during this celebration to learn about—and take action to reduce—their personal risk factors for stroke, the No. 5 leading cause of death. Stroke is a disease that affects the arteries leading to and within the brain. It occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen
and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs, so it begins to die. The American Stroke Association notes that an estimated 80 percent of strokes may be prevented if people started taking
better care of themselves. This includes making healthy lifestyle choices like eating better and moving more. While some stroke risk factors can’t be helped, like family history, race or age, most can be modified, treated or controlled, including obesity, smoking, uncontrolled blood pressure and high cholesterol. Hispanics have a different prevalence of risk factors for stroke. Over 75 percent Hispanics, age 20 and older, are considered overweight or obese while nearly 30 percent of Hispanics suffer from diabetes. Studies suggest that many Hispanics do not get the recommended amount of physical activity needed to live a healthy life. While great advancements have been made, the work is not done when it comes to disparity in patient care. Distrust of law enforcement, language barriers, lack of awareness and fi nancial concerns are the major barriers keeping many Latinos and others from calling 911 for help during a heart or stroke emergency. In fact, Hispanic women are less likely than others to know the warning signs of a heart attack or stroke, and Hispanic men are the least likely to use emergency medical services transport (EMS), which are primary factors in increasing survival rates. Through the American Heart Association’s scientific research, the EmPowered To Serve movement and the efforts of passionate volunteers, Latinos —the largest growing population in the U.S. at 56.6 million—have better access to culturally-relevant resources to prevent heart disease and stroke and are positively impacting health outcomes in their communities for generations and celebrations to come. The American Stroke Association recommends setting up an appointment with your doctor to discuss ways to lower the risk for cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Association\American Stroke Association also provides a free online resource called My Life Check which provides a personal assessment for the risk of stroke and offers suggestions on tips to reduce these risk. This free assessment is available in English at mylifecheck.org or in Spanish at marcando7pasos.org/

Our House Was Our Castle And Our Keep
Dear Joel My wife and I are both retired. I am writing because she may see this and realize that it’s her that I am referring to. Our house is filthy and disgusting. I can no longer look in the refrigerator. Our stove hasn’t been cleaned in months and the bathroom equally as dirty. Any suggestions as to how to change her? Answer: My suggestion is (as always) stop trying to change her and work on yourself. I see nothing in your letter that makes me feel that you are incapable of doing some housework. Too often people can help situations but find it
easier to blame others. Perhaps if your wife sees that you care enough to do the cleaning, she will follow suit. If my suggestion doesn’t fit, many people hire people to do the cleaning for them. If that is all that’s wrong in your home, consider yourself lucky. It’s not a heavy lift. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Professional Profile New Jersey Hematology Oncology Associates
By Robert Verderese 2016 marks the 20th anniversary of New Jersey Hematology Oncology Associates (NJHOA)—a premiere medical practice in Ocean County, specializing in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of blood diseases (hematology) and cancer (oncology). Founded in Brick, NJ by Dr. Amin in 1996, the practice quickly grew and was joined by Jayne Pavlak-Schenk, DO, in 2000. NJHOA opened an additional office in Toms River, NJ in 2005 and in 2011 Dr. Agrawal joined the practice. Providing a broad range of services including molecular tumor profiling, immunotherapy, clinical trials and heredity cancer screening, NJHOA offers cutting-edge cancer care with compassion for you and your loved-ones. At NJHOA, Dr. Apurv Agrawal places a great deal of importance on communication with his patients and their families: “I always take the time to educate my patients about their disease and I treat them with the highest degree of respect. I believe in delivering exceptional care without exception.” Dr. Agawal is a lifelong New Jersey resident. He was born in Hackensack, and grew up in Edison and Jackson. Board certified in Medical oncology, Internal Medicine, and Hospice and Palliative Care Medicine, Dr. Agawal has been voted as one of “America’s Top Oncologists” by Consumers’ Research Council of America in 2012, 2013, and 2014. In 2015 he was featured in NJ Monthly magazine and recognized as a “Jersey Choice Top Doc.”

apy mainly consists of boosting the immune system’s natural ability to detect and kill abnormal cells. “Immunotherapy is on the forefront of cancer treatment and gives patients who don’t respond to conventional therapy more options,” Dr. Agrawal asserts. Another important service provided at NJHOA is hereditary cancer screening. “The genes we are born with may contribute to our risk of developing certain types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, colorectal, and prostate cancer,” says Dr. Amin, founder of NJHOA, who is Board Certified in Medical Oncology, Hematology, and Internal Medicine. “If you have a family history of cancer, we can help you understand your risk for disease. We offer genetic counseling and testing, and can assist you in making informed medical decisions.” “We also offer the latest clinical trials,” adds Jayne Pavlak-Schenk, DO, who was born in Perth Amboy, New Jersey and grew up on the Gulf Coast and in New Jersey. Dr. Jayne PavThe Brick office is located at 1608 Route 88, Suite 250 and the phone lak-Schenk is number is 732-840-8880. Board Certified The goal of NJHOA to provide the most cutting-edge treatment for their patients cannot be overstated: “I am a proponent of molecular profiling in that it helps me choose a treatment regimen for my patients,” explains Dr. Agrawal. Molecular profiling is a method of testing that looks at each person’s cancer tumor and studies the genetic characteristics as well as any unique biomarkers. “This targeted approach helps us to develop individual, cancer-specific treatment plans for our patients,” continues Dr. Agrawal. The physicians at NJHOA are also champions of a cancer treatment called “Immunotherapy.” This is a type of treatment that uses the body’s own immune system to fight cancer. The ther-

A cancer clinical trial is a medical research study in which people participate as volunteers to test new and better methods of prevention, screening, diagnosis, or treatment of a disease. “Some cancer patients may fear that enrolling in a clinical trial means they might receive a placebo or that the treatment might have adverse effects, but the reality is that patients in clinical trials receive either the best cancer treatment currently known for their cancer, or new, and possibly more effective, therapy,” Jayne Pavlak-Schenk, DO, explains. “We offer the latest clinical trials for multiple disease states in the convenience of our office, affording our patients state-of-the-art treatment options close to their homes,” she maintains. A Toms River resident was traveling every week to a University Hospital in New York City for a clinical trial to treat her stage lV lung cancer. The next thing she knew, her Dr. switched hospitals. She thought it was the end of her clinical trial when, lo and behold, her Dr. recommended her to see Dr. Agrawal, whereby allowing her to continue on a clinical trial close to her home. Offering the latest clinical trials close to their patient’s homes, the physicians at NJHOA spare their patents the inconvenience and cost of commuting to major cities to receive
high-quality treatment. Another patient from Point Pleasant who had stage lV prostate cancer was initially treated in the Brick office with PROVENGE immunotherapy—the first and only FDA approved immunotherapy for advanced prostate cancer. He is now in a clinical trial with a tumor vaccine and feels like he is winning the battle with his cancer. With offices in Toms River and Brick, NJHOA boasts a community-based reputation that is unsurpassed. “We take great pride in offering the most compassionate oncology care for the people in our community. If somebody calls our office and tells us they just found out that they have cancer, we will try to see them as soon as possible—typically within 24 hours,” Dr. Agrawal says. “There are also times when patients sound particularly distressed. For those patients, we tell them to come in immediately.” For more information, visit their website at NJHOA.com or call their Brick office at 732-840-8880 or Toms River office at 732-2441440. The Brick office, located at 1608 Route 88, Suite 250, is open Monday-Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday. The Toms River office, located at Winding River Medical Park, 508 Lakehurst Road, Suite 1B, is open on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of October 1-OCTOBER 7
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take your medicine even if you don’t like the taste. Someone may be right, but this might not win your affection. Keep accurate financial records this week as they may come in handy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may meet those who display kindness and warmth when you’re feeling as cold as ice. In the week to come you may find it difficult to avoid being reserved during social occasions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You could be confused by conflicting causes this week. Put a puzzling problem aside until you can get advice from a wise friend. Get caught up with a backlog of essential tasks. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might be better off staying put than taking off. In the week ahead spend time on organization. This will help you achieve a closer rapport with family or improve your surroundings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take it for granted that your wishes will be granted. As this week unfolds you might realize that whatever transpires, even if it slows you down, will have been in your best interests. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make it your business to be a whiz at business. There may be an opportunity to improve your income flow in the week to come or the desire to put a home based activity into motion.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You know what they say about all work and no play. In the week ahead your business instincts could sometimes be off base.

Don’t use questionable tactics that lie in the gray area of ethical behavior. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be grateful for the talents you possess. Just because others are more successful in some areas does not diminish your gifts in others. Focus on being at your best this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A relationship may need extra rations of respect. When you have become familiar with someone it tempting to take them for granted. In the week ahead remember “please” and “thank you.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Live life logically. You may meet people in the week ahead who can illuminate your thinking processes. Focus on making some fascinating new friends and participate in group activities. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A square peg can’t fit in a round hole. You may find that you don’t quite fit into a new group. In the beginning of the week be cautious about signing contracts or listening to gossip.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Pan-Roasted Chicken Shows How Recipes Can Evolve With Time By Wolfgang Puck
It seems to me sometimes that too many people treat recipes like scientific formulas to be followed precisely. But that isn’t how I love to cook, or how I hope fans of my cookbooks or online cooking school will treat my recipes. Great recipes are living things. Most of them can be changed in an instant, based on what’s in season or good in the market, how ingredients are responding as you cook them, and whatever whim might strike you. That’s certainly how I like to cook, especially at home. And I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately while looking at my recipe for pan-roasted chicken with a sauce of port and whole-grain mustard, and seeing how it has evolved over the years. When I fi rst started making and serving this recipe more than two decades ago, it featured butterflied chicken - that is a whole bird from which the backbone was cut out before the chicken was spread out and f lattened. I browned the chicken skin-down in an ovenproof skillet, fi nished cooking it skin-up in the oven, and prepared a pan sauce with port wine, cream, two kinds of mustard, and fresh herbs. Today, however, the dish as I make it is noticeably different. First of all, I take the extra step of removing most of the bones from the chicken - a fairly simple process I describe in the recipe that follows, though you could also ask the poultry department of a good supermarket to do it for you. The result is poultry that is easier and neater to eat, which I know the guests in my restaurants prefer. As for the recipe’s popular sauce, I’ve also made significant changes. Most noticeably, I use a higher proportion of port and chicken stock, reducing them more to intensify the sauce’s overall fl avor before I add the two kinds of mustard. More importantly, I also use proportionately less cream than I used to, a reflection of the fact to health-conscious eaters everywhere are trying to cut back on the fat they consume. And, a favorite secret of mine when cooking at home, I stir into the sauce a touch of bottled barbecue sauce or Chinese hoisin sauce, which enhances the results in the same way that glace de viande (literally, “meat glaze”), a greatly concentrated veal stock, often does in classic French restaurants. All of those small changes add up to a big difference in a recipe that I hope will become one of your own standbys, as it is mine. And I hope you, like I still do, will continue to consider this and many other recipes delicious works in progress.
BONELESS PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PORT & WHOLE-GRAIN MUSTARD SAUCE Serves 4 2 whole organic chickens, 2 1/2 to 3 pounds (1.25 to 1.5 kg) each Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cups (500 mL) port wine 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality canned chicken stock or broth 2 tablespoons bottled tomato-based barbecue sauce or hoisin sauce 4 tablespoons heavy cream 1 heaping teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 heaping teaspoon Meaux (whole-grain) mustard 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives Starting alongside each chicken’s breastbone and following the ribcage, use a sharp knife to cut the meat away from the bones on each side; cut through the leg joints. Trim off the wings, leaving the drumettes attached. Cut out the leg bones to produce 2 boned halves from each chicken. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Over high heat, heat the oil in a heavy ovenproof frying pan large enough to hold the chicken. Carefully add the chicken skin-down. Sear undisturbed until the skin is golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer to the oven and roast skin down until the skin is deep golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Return the pan to the stovetop, turn the chicken skin up, and sear over high heat 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a platter and keep warm. Pour off the fat from the skillet. Add the port and swirl over high heat, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon as needed, to deglaze the pan. Add the stock. Simmer briskly until reduced by about two thirds. Stir in the barbecue sauce or hoisin. Stir in the cream, bring back to a boil, and continue simmering briskly, stirring, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the mustards. Return the chicken to the pan along with any juices that have collected. Over low heat, turn the chicken to coat with the sauce and warm it brief ly. Serve with your choice of sides, garnishing the chicken with fresh herbs and the port/ mustard sauce.
