By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The Brick Farmers’ Market is back, and it’s bigger and better than ever, with additional vendors, more selections and extended hours.

This is the third year the market has been open on Saturday mornings at Windward Beach Park,

and since it has become so popular, the new hours are 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. instead of closing at noon.

In addition to six farmers, there are more than two dozen other vendors who sell everything from pierogies, pickles, hot coffee, breads, pastries, (Market - See Page 4)

Market:

Continued From Page 1 syrup, Italian delicacies and more.

There were also booths that featured woodworks, jewelry, candles and other crafts.

There was even a vendor who sold dog treats, even though dogs are not allowed in Windward Beach Park - except for during the annual Chamber of Commerce Dog Fest.

Ellen and Harry Tweed came to the Farmers’ Market from their nearby home in the Forge Pond neighborhood.

“We bought bread and sweet potato syrup, which is to die for,” said Harry.

“We didn’t buy any vegetables because we couldn’t find what we were looking for,” added Ellen. “We usually shop at Delicious Orchards, but we’ll probably come back here every week, it’s so convenient,” she said.

The farm vendors change their inventory each week as more fruits and vegetables come into season.

One of the farm stands, Colony Market, is familiar to many Brick residents.

The family had a store on Mantoloking Road that dated back to 1938, which later became the Visitation Relief Center to assist with Superstorm Sandy victims.

“Well if they don’t know who we are, their parents and grandparents do,” said Todd Marchetto, whose father Aldo ran the produce market and garden center on Mantoloking Road for many years, which was originally star ted by his

grandfather when it was called “The Colonies Market.”

Now Marchetto sells produce, f lowers, honey, jam and jelly at farmers’ markets in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

“I took over the business; it’s in my blood,” he said. “We have been at the Brick Farmers’ Market from the very beginning. Business has been great since the word got out that we’re here.”

Melanie Carballo came to the Farmers’ Market with her husband, Don, who live near the park off Princeton Avenue.

“We love it. We couldn’t wait until it started again because we try to come every week,” she said.

The couple usually picks up ready-made food at the Farmers’ Market, such as empanadas, mozzarella or ravioli from the Caldrino’s food truck, and then they bring it home for lunch.

“When the veggies come out we buy them here and stock up for the week,” added Don. “We like to suppor t the market.”

Mayor John G. Ducey was at the Farmers’ Market on its opening day with his young son Jack, 5.

“A lot of people were saying they couldn’t get here in time because of a lot of sports in the morning, and they wanted to know if we could extend the hours,” Ducey said.

The Duceys were planning to get some empanadas and maybe some plants, the mayor said.

The Farmers’ Market will be open every Saturday until September 23.

Continued From Page 1 growth in that area, so we had to address that.”

Filippone said a committee of administrators and Board of Education members met four times to discuss the redistricting plan after they received a demographer’s report.

Afterwards, the committee met with the PTA presidents, school principals and all the Board of Education members to discuss what Filippone called a baseline plan.

“From that meeting, the PTA presidents all suggested that we meet with the individual PTAs at the three affected buildings, so we held meetings at night, which were all very well-attended by both staff and parents at Veterans, Herbertsville and Midstreams,” he said.

A final meeting was held on April 24 for one last opportunity for the public to come out, see the plan, make their comments and suggestions. The meeting, held at Vets Elementary School, was also very well-attended, Filippone said.

The redistricting plan calls for 64 students from Veterans Elementary School - 10 kindergartners, 12 first graders, 11 second graders, 7 third graders, 13 fourth graders, and 11 fifth graders - to be redistricted. Herbertsville Elementary would receive 18 of the students, and Midstreams Elementary would receive 46 of the students.

Even with the movement of these students there are still some large classroom sizes, Filippone said. The fourth grade at Veterans has 25, and the third grade at Herbertsville has 25 because every grade level at Herbertsville has two sections except for the third grade.

“So next year when they move forward the fourth grade will have two sections, and the aver-

age class in the fourth grade will be 12. The thing that we really looked for is averaging the class sizes by section for all three buildings and the plan worked pretty well to do that,” Filippone said.

The average class size at Vets would be 21.2, Midstreams would be 19.3, and Herbertsville would be 21.4, he added.

The committee understands that families develop a bond with their school, Filippone said, especially at the elementary level. Therefore, any current third or fourth grader at Vets, who is affected by the plan, could stay there if their parents make a written request to the superintendent and they are willing to provide transportation for their student.

“That’s not to say that we’re going to say no to anybody,” Filippone said. “If the parent is willing to transport their son or daughter, and they put that request in writing, those requests will be approved.”

Interim Superintendent Thomas Gianalenella said that sometimes change is more difficult for the parent than the student.

“I think it’s important that we take this small step, and believe me, it is a small step, to try to equalize our class size,” he said.

Any new students who would normally have attended Veterans Elementary School have been bussed to other schools this year because “we couldn’t fit them in anymore,” Gialanella said.

“Looking to the future, I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I think this solves the problem for the present,” he said. “Then we’ll see where the growth and the loss is in the future and if we need to do anything else.”

The next Board of Education meeting will be on Thursday, June 1 at Brick Memorial High School at 7 p.m.

BRICK POLICE TO START USING DRONES

BRICK – The Brick Township Police Depar tment recently acquired a small unmanned aircraft system – also known as a drone – to assist with police investigations, search and rescue missions, security, emergency situations and other important law enforcement initiatives.

The drone was purchased using funding from the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety’s Comprehensive Traffic Safety Grant.

Two traffic safety officers have been trained and licensed to be drone pilots.

The officers attended schooling at Eagle View Aviation in Farmingdale and passed a 60-question exam that was administered by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The use of the drone must be authorized by the Brick Township Chief of Police. Officers will follow all provisions as specified in Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Administration Small

Scouts:

Continued From Page 1 during the weekend of May 19-21 at the New Jersey State Police and New Jersey State Police Training Center.

The weekend began Friday, May 19 when the scouts arrived and set up camp in 1,000-plus tents covering several fields.

After their 9 a.m. opening ceremony on May 20, the Scouts spent much of their day examining a wide variety of STEM-themed demonstrations and exhibits.

Sponsored by the New Jersey State Police and the New Jersey National Guard, this marked the fifth camporee held at the center. The scouts joined adult leaders and special guests such as Boy Scouts of America Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh, Adjutant General of New Jersey National Guard Brig. Gen. Michael L. Cunniff and New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Rick Fuentes.

The scouts embraced this year’s STEM theme which featured fingerprinting, welding, robotics, insect identification, and demonstrations of the equipment and operations of the State Police and National Guard. During opening remarks, Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno spoke directly to Scout parents. “For the parents here today, understand that what they are learning is not just how cool all the toys are that they get to see, like how neat it was to see the Blackhawk fly over. What they are learning is how to behave when you’re not around.

And what choices to make when you’re not around. Whether they are 10, or 16 or

25 years old or 50 years old, what they’re learning in scouting today and throughout their lifetime is the moral compass that you can take some solace in when you’re not around.”

“The New Jersey National Guard and State Police Camporee provides an amazing opportunity for 10,000 Scouts to show support and gratitude for the servant leadership shown by members of the law enforcement and defense community,” said Boy Scouts of America Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh, who was attending the event.

“Fostering a strong STEM education is our best opportunity to boost the spirit of innovation and to help all Scouts be prepared for life,” said Jim Gillick, Scout Executive and Chief Executive Officer of the Jersey Shore Council of the Boy Scouts of America, the host council of the event.

Gillick added that “showing scouts that STEM is fun, we can encourage them to enter STEM fields and achieve success.”

Sean Fotarty, 15, Brick, Troop 17 was among the scouts who enjoyed the weekend of excitement that featured camping, watching police and Guard demonstrations, participating in interactive displays and working toward their Fingerprinting, Wilderness Survival, Crime Prevention and Personal Fitness merit badges.

“I have been in scouting for four years,” he said. The scout said he was mostly interested in the engineering and technology programs but also enjoyed the National Guard and state police programs. “I may be looking at a career in those areas. What I enjoy most about scouting is that we are

like a family and we work like a team.”

Scouts received firsthand experience with fi ngerprinting with ink, constructing an emergency shelter, using a visual impairment device to simulate the experience of navigating a walking course under the influence of alcohol, acted out a scenario in which they reported a crime and performed a strength test.

Troop 17 Scoutmaster Wayne Bauer, Brick, could not have agreed more with Sean. He joined scouting when he was 10 years old and has been with it for 50 years having made Eagle Scout along the way. “I really enjoyed the way they put this together and the programs that they offered were amazing. We had nothing like this when I was a scout. This is the Boy Scouts for the 21st century. As scout leaders we’re having a good time, too, climbing on the wall with the scouts.”

Bauer said that around 100 troops across the state came out for the event, which takes place every three years. “We love coming here to Sea Girt. This is my fourth Camporee. It is great to see so many scouts involved.”

New Jersey State Police Lieutenant Archer Jones, who serves as president of the New Jersey State Troopers Eagle Scout Association, was among those present at the event.

He said the “Camporee is a great way for the scouts to meet and speak with New Jersey State Troopers to see what it is we do on a daily basis.” Jones said that the event showcased “how STEM is put to use each and every day during the performance of our duties.”

Scouts witnessed science coming to life through demonstrations such as a “vortex cannon” – using a trash can, fog machine and some engineering, and creating smoke rings that traveled the length of a small ball field. Some of the scouts toured the facility’s forensic lab where crime scene evidence is processed, and watched a K-9 unit demonstration. Scouts also had the opportunity to see a Howitzer, MK19 grenade launcher and sniper rifle during the weekend.

Another highlight was their observation of helicopters flying over the center and speaking with members of the Marine Police. That was something that Austin Pierce, 14, of Howell enjoyed. “I was looking forward to the helicopter drop off and it was exciting. I’ve been a scout since I was in first grade as a Cub Scout. I am working toward becoming an Eagle Scout.

I’m working on my citizenship and world badges.” Austin was among 14 members of Troop 515 present at the Camporee. “I’m also interested in engineering so this was very interesting.”

The State Police showed off a variety of vehicles that were on display including an underwater operations truck, and an Arson Unit truck that included robots. Interactive displays included equipment used by the State Police Crime Scene Investigation Unit, Composite Artist Unit and Electronic Surveillance Unit.

Saturday night concluded with a stage show and laser light display while Sunday primarily involved a closing ceremony and breaking down their camp.

Senators Kean, Holzapfel Introduce Legislation To Strengthen Child Pornography Law Capitol Comments Senator Jim Holzapfel 10th Legislative District, Serving Toms River

O C E A N C OU N T Y – Senate President Steve Sweeney, Senate Law & Public Safety Committee Chair Linda R. Greenstein, Senate Minority Leader Tom Kean, and Senator Jim Holzapfel yesterday introduced legislation that would st reng t hen New Jersey’s child pornography laws and establish additional penalties for violators.

“If someone in New Jersey has engaged in the large-scale collection or distribution of pictures of children in sexually suggestive poses, they pose a ser ious th reat to ou r children and our community,” said Senator Kean.

“The Attor ney General has highlighted the need to better address this growing problem, including the establishment of new child pornography crimes, tougher punishments, and better monitoring of offenders. There’s a bipartisan consensus that these protections are overdue.”

“We cannot allow the sexual exploitation of children to be tolerated in this state, nor can we turn a blind eye to loopholes in our laws that allow people to engage in this despicable activity in any way,” said Senator Holzapfel (R-Ocean).

“It’s clear that people who collect child erotica are a threat to public safety and the children of New Jersey, and our laws must be tightened to reflect that.”

T he bill expands the def inition of child pornography to include the por t rayal of a child i n a sexual manner. Under the bill, this is def ined

as: (1) depicting a child’s less than completely and opaquely covered intimate parts, as defi ned in current stat ute, or any for m of contact with the intimate par ts in a manner that, by means of the posing, composition, format, or animated sensual details, emits sensuality with sufficient impact to concentrate prurient interest on the child; or (2) otherwise depicting a child for the purpose of sexual stimulation or gratification of any person who may view the depiction where the depiction does not have serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

“New Jersey must be a leader in the fight against the sexual exploitation of children by strengthening child pornography laws and putting stricter penalties on the books for those who prey on the innocence of children,” said Senator Sweeney. “Every child deserves to grow up in a safe environment. As legislators, it is our duty to make su re ou r laws keep up with the pace of how child pornography is evolving in order to protect all children from being victimized by these predators. This bill sends out a clear message that, in New Jersey, we will not stand for this sort of child abuse.”

“We must be cognizant of the surrounding Internet culture, and the speed and scale by which information is shared as we work to deter the abuse and exploitation of children in all of its forms,” said Senator Greenstein (D-Middlesex, Mercer). “In particular,

the Internet has enabled an increased production, distribution and possession of child pornography.

While federal law provides the framework for investigating and prosecuting violators, states like New Jersey must take an active role and make a coordinated effort role in setting stricter boundaries.”

Federal law defi nes child pornography as any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image or picture, whether made or produced by electronic, mechanical, or other means, of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor.

Under the bill, the possession and distribution of child erotica, which refers to images that depict nearly naked, suggestively-posed, and inappropriately sexualized children, is a crime subject to fi nes, imprisonment or both.

The bill also establishes the crime of “leader of child por nography network” and enhances penalties for possession and distribution based on the quantity of child pornography items. Finally, the bill clarifies that for all child pornography manufacturing and distribution offenses, including the crime of leader of a child pornography network established under the bill, a fi ne would be imposed and deposited into the Computer Crime Prevention Fund.

Child Porn Network Leaders Under the bill, a person is guilty of the crime of “leader of a child pornography network” if he or she knowingly conspires with others to establish or maintain a child pornography distribution network through which fi les containing child pornography are made available to an organized group. Leader

of a child por nography network is a crime of the fi rst degree if the offense involves 100,000 or more child pornography items; a crime of the second degree if the offense involves at least 1,000 but less than 100,000 items; and a crime of the third degree if the offense involves less than 1,000 items.

A crime of the fi rst degree is punishable by a term of imprisonment of 10 to 20 years, a fi ne of up to $200,000, or both.

A cr i me of the second degree is punishable by a term of imprisonment of five to 10 years, a fi ne of up to $150,000, or both. A crime of the third degree is punishable by a term of imprisonment of three to five years, a fi ne of up to $15,0 0 0, or both. A crime of the fourth degree is punishable by a term of imprisonment of up to 18 months, a fi ne of up to $10,000, or both.

Super-Possessors of Child Porn Under current law, possession of child pornography is increased from a crime of the fourth degree to a crime of the third degree and carries a presumption of imprisonment if a person possesses 100 or more items of child por nography. But technological advancements have made it possible to download and store large numbers of digital files very quickly, and current law does not account for individuals who possess thousands to hundreds of thousands of child pornography items. Additionally, current law does not differentiate between a single still image of child pornography and an extended video sequence, which could consist of thousands of digital images.

“Current law falls short of providing suitable penalties for super-possessors

of child pornography, and it is our duty as legislators to address these shortcomings to protect children in our communities,” said Senator Sweeney. “If it’s possessing one picture or 100,000, child por nography is not a victimless crime, and in New Jersey, we must get tougher.”

This bill would create enhanced penalties for super-possessors by making possession of 100,000 or more items of child pornography a crime of the fi rst degree; possession of less than 100,000 items but g reater t ha n 1,0 0 0 items a crime of the second deg ree; and possession of 1,000 items a crime of the third degree. The bill would also promote more equitable sentencing for video images by providing that each video or video segment of child pornography is the equivalent of 10 separate items.

Penalties for Child Porn Distribution Under current law, a person convicted of distribution of child pornography is guilty of a crime of the second degree with a mandatory minimum sentence of one-third to one-half the sentence imposed or five years, whichever is greater.

A distributor who is caught transmitting 25 child pornography files currently faces the same penalties as a dist r ibutor caught sending 10,000 files.

The bill revises the penalties for distribution of child pornography to provide that a person who distributes 1,000 or more items of child pornography is guilty of a crime of the fi rst degree. Distribution of less than 1,000 would remain a crime of the second degree.

“The Internet and social media have provided fertile ground for individuals to create, access, and instantly share child porn

images worldwide at the click of a button, but the damage is devastating and long-lasting,” said Senator Greenstein. “Whether it’s distributing one image or a thousand, child pornography is a crime. Enforcing harsher penalties will serve as a deterrent to the exploitation of children on a larger scale.”

Sex Offender Treatment Under the bill, an offender will be referred to the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center (ADTC) for sex offender treatment if the court fi nds that the offender’s conduct is characterized by a pattern of repetitive, compulsive behavior and the offender is amenable and willing to participate in sex offender treatment.

Currently, a psychological examination is ordered for offenders convicted of a number of sex offenses which include the distribution of child pornography but not for possession of child pornography. A prosecutor may make a motion requesting that the court impose a special sentence of parole supervision for life on a person who possesses any amount of child pornography, and judges are currently required to order a psychological examination of certain sex offenders to determine if referral to the ADTC is appropriate.

The bill provides that if a person is convicted of possessing 1,000 or more items of child pornography, the court would be required to consider imposing a sentence of parole supervision for life, the offender would be subject to evaluation for ADTC commitment, and he or she would be required to register as a sex offender and be subject to the community notification and Internet publication requirements under Megan’s Law.

These are some of the questions the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) is asking the public as part of its outreach for Plan 2045: Connecting North Jersey.

Each year about $1 billion in federal funds is invested into the transportation system in northern and central New Jersey. Metropolitan Planning Organizations like the NJTPA must update their regional transportation plans every four years in order for the region to obtain and invest federal transportation funding. The regional transportation plan serves as a blueprint for these investments over the

next 25 years. The last update, Plan 2040, was adopted in September 2013.

The NJTPA has launched an online survey, plan2045survey.org, to gather public input for Plan 2045. The survey is split into key Plan 2045 topics — Great Places, Safety, Resiliency, Getting Around, Technology, Environment and Economy. Each topic includes a short video and a few questions. Participants are encouraged to select one or as many topics as they are interested in answering questions about.

Survey answers will be used to help develop Plan 2045.

The NJTPA is also attending and organizing events throughout its 13-county region to gather public insight through early June. A full list of events is available on the Participate Page at ntjpa.org/ Plan2045.

Parkway Interchange 91 Work Nearing Completion

BRICK – Ocean County is cautioning drivers to be aware of new traffic patterns on the west side of Interchange 91 on the Garden State Parkway as the County’s work on the new traffic configuration draws to a close.

“This overall project has included wide ranging improvements to the Garden State Parkway at Interchange 91 in Brick Township,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety. “We will be implementing the new configuration of Interchange 91 west of the Parkway beginning May 16. Drivers are cautioned to be alert for new traffic patterns, construction workers and vehicles in the work area,” he said.

On Tuesday May 16, Ocean County will activate new traffic signals in the area of the interchange.

Traffic signals at Stephan Road and Lanes Mill Road, Herborn Avenue Extension and Lanes Mill Road, Herborn Avenue and Burnt Tavern Road and Burnt Tavern and Lanes Mill roads and the Garden State Parkway ramp will be activated in their new configuration to accommodate the new and reconfigured entrance and exit ramps for Garden State Parkway Southbound.

“The improvements at the interchange are expected to increase safety and reduce commuter congestion,” Kelly said.

The improvements at Interchange 91 include the addition and relocation of on and off ramps to create a fully accessible interchange.

“This is expected to increase the level of performance on the roadway now and 20 years into the future,” said Kelly, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Engineering Department.

The project is being done in partnership with Ocean County, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and the state of New Jersey.

“This is one of our most far-reaching designs to upgrade a Parkway interchange,” Kelly said. “We’ve worked closely with the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and Brick Township to redesign this interchange to meet the needs of the region’s growing population.”

Plans call for a full interchange with both

northbound and southbound entrance and exit ramps.

Exit 91 had allowed only northbound vehicles to enter the Parkway, while only southbound traffic can exit.

“This project will meet the needs of our growing population far into the future,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari.

“This area is home to a large number of commuters and this will help ease their ride to and from work.

“It also will help with summer visitors accessing Ocean County,” Vicari said. Kelly noted the redesign will also allow easier access to the Park-N-Ride commuter lots on both the east and west sides of the highway.

“Not only will this almost totally new interchange ease traffic on nearby Lanes Mill Road and Burnt Tavern Road, it will also reduce congestion at nearby Exit 90 at Chambers Bridge Road,” Kelly said.

“Many of those motorists who now drive the extra miles from Chambers Bridge Road to northern Brick and Point Pleasant will now be able to utilize this interchange instead.”

The project included the following planned changes: A new northbound entrance ramp from Burnt Tavern Road and Lanes Mill Road, with access to the Park-N-Ride lot on the east side of the Parkway.

A second northbound entrance ramp for vehicles traveling eastbound on Burnt Tavern Road. This ramp will also allow access from Burrsville Road. The single existing northbound ramp will be eliminated.

A new northbound exit ramp linking the Parkway and Burrsville Road.

A new southbound entrance ramp for traffic heading west on Burnt Tavern Road.

A second southbound entrance ramp linking Lanes Mill Road with the Parkway.

Herborn Avenue would be extended south and east to Lanes Mill Road, where it would meet the new entrance ramp at a signaled intersection.

Southbound Parkway traffic could exit at the existing ramp or continue under the Burnt Tavern Road Bridge and use a new ramp that will link with Lanes Mill Road at a second new signaled interchange.

Hearts For HOPE Casino Night Raises Funds, Awareness For Addiction

TOMS RIVER – HOPE Sheds Light, a Toms River-based nonprofit organization dedicated to educating families on the disease of addiction, hosted its 1st Annual Hearts for HOPE Casino Night on April 27 at Eagle Ridge Golf Club in Lakewood.

The event, which was sponsored by Crossroads Realty, drew over 250 people from Monmouth and Ocean Counties and raised funds and awareness for HOPE Sheds Light.

Hearts for HOPE featured a 50/50 cash raffle, which offered a $10,000 grand prize, as well as a generous variety of over 80 gift baskets that were donated by the community and available for raffle.

“We have all learned, and continue to learn, about opiate use and the devastating affect it can have on a person, family and the community,” said Linda J. Alpay and Diane Rosetto, Hearts for HOPE committee co-chairs. “We have also felt the generosity, kindness and tremendous spirit of people from different walks of life uniting toward a common goal.”

Among the many contributors to the event, HOPE Sheds Light would like to extend its gratitude to Corinne Kass and Charles Messenger of Harmonizing Homes for donating their time and event décor for the evening.

Founded in 2012 after co-founder Ron Rosetto lost his son Marc to a battle against substance abuse, HOPE Sheds Light serves to provide help and resources to families affected by addiction. Rosetto, along with co-founders Arvo Prima and Stephen Willis, and a team of board members and volunteers, work year-round to support families suffering from the epidemic of substance abuse that has become widely prevalent at the Jersey Shore in recent years.

“We are thankful to everyone who came out to support HOPE Sheds Light through our Hearts for HOPE event,” said Ron Rosetto, co-founder of HOPE Sheds Light. “It really is humbling to see the

–Photo courtesy HOPE Sheds Light HOPE Sheds Light held their 1st Annual Hearts for HOPE Casino Night on April 27 to raise funds and awareness to support the disease of addiction. community come together under a common goal to help spread awareness on addiction and recovery, and provide hope to those affected by this terrible disease in our community.”

Looking to the future, HOPE Sheds Light will host its 4th Annual Celebration of HOPE Walk on Saturday, September 9 on the Seaside Heights Boardwalk. The walk offers resources for family members and friends of those dealing with addiction and substance abuse. The event also highlights inspirational speakers, a Tree of HOPE to remember those who were lost, onsite vendors a raffle and more.

“At the Celebration of HOPE Walk, our community can come together to learn about addiction and recovery and provide hope to those affected,” said Rosetto. “Those suffering typically don’t know where to turn for help. Our walk offers them a community of support.”

A FISH-EYE VIEW

One distinct advantage that fish have over humans is their ability to regenerate their eyes after suffering damage or injury. This is of particular interest to researchers who are looking for ways to treat degenerative eye conditions such as presbyopia, agerelated macular degeneration (AMD), and retinitis pigmentosa. New research into fish eyes’ ability to recover from damage and restore sight within a few weeks reveals that a neurotransmitter (called GABA) controls the activity of some retinal stem cells that play a crucial role in regeneration. By intervening in the production of GABA in zebra fish, researchers were able to control and observe the regenerative process. If these findings can be replicated in humans, it would amount to a monumental breakthrough.

At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices. Please call 732-349-5622 to schedule an appointment.

Keep Debris Off Streets During Spring Cleanups

OCEAN COUNTY – Now that both spring and warm weather are here to stay, Ocean County faces another annual ritual– the spring cleanup.

While it may be tempting to simply rake and blow old leaves, branches and grass clippings into the road, Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari warned that yard debris poses numerous

safety threats.

“We’ve already had a lot of heavy rain this season and it’s vitally important that all of our storm drains stay clean and free of trash,” he said. “Raking waste from our yards into the street clogs drains and can lead to serious flooding problems.”

Leaves swept into the streets can also cause other issues. “Dead leaves and grass

can act as fertilizer and contribute to the nitrogen and nutrient problems we are seeing in the Barnegat Bay,” Vicari said.

Nonpoint source pollution from storm drains is the leading cause of environmental problems in the bay. Vicari said the county already has an aggressive program in place to maintain the drains that empty into the bay and other local

waterways.

The Ocean County Road Department’s Jet-Vac trucks clean the drains throughout the county on a regular schedule.

“The Board of Freeholders is committed to keeping the bay healthy,” Vicari said.

“But we need all of our residents’ help.

Please help us keep our local storm drains clean and free of trash.”

Many towns also have leaf and shrub clipping pickups scheduled for the coming weeks, he said, urging residents to check with their townships for collection dates.

On a related note, Vicari also renewed his call for motorists not to throw their cigarette butts out the window.

“Those butts also end up in the bay and contribute to the problems we’ve seen,” he said.

Vicari said many new-model cars don’t include ashtrays, further enticing some smokers to toss their used cigarettes onto the road.

“Most auto part stores carry portable ashtrays for vehicles,” he said. “Even an old can will do in a pinch.”

Getting maximum life and value from your hearing aid batteries is easy if you follow a few simple tips from Dr. Izzy.

Buy the right batteries. Make sure that your batteries have an expiration date on them. Popular brands include Rayovac, Power One and Energizer.

Remove tabs when you’re ready to use. When you remove the colored tab, you activate the battery. Wait about one minute before inserting the battery in the battery door. Oxygen has to charge up the battery. As long as you leave the tab in place, the battery air hole is sealed and the battery freshness is preserved. Once

Store unused batteries properly.

Keep batteries in the original card, stored at room temperature until needed. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat and never put them in the refrigerator. Also, contact with metal objects, such as keys or coins, can cause a battery to short circuit.

Bid your batteries a proper “good night.” Switching off your hearing aid when not in use prolongs battery life. To make sure the hearing aid is off, simply open the battery door.

This also helps dissipate moisture, which is a top enemy of hearing aids and batteries.

Not To Freak You Out, But We’re Kind Of Dirty

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Most of us don’t allow our home get filthy and disgusting, we clean it up from time to time, right? We throw out trash, do dishes, dust and vacuum. So how come some people let toxins build up and get nasty inside the body?

We have so many antioxidants and natural chelating supplements that ‘vacuum and dust’ our bodies. Sweating is actually the easiest and fastest way to clear toxins, plus, by moving lymph, you filter out the sticky poisons.

If you think you’re ‘clean’ don’t be so quick to dismiss me because if you eat and drink (by drink, I mean anything including water, but you can certainly insert soda, alcohol or coffee) you should continue reading. Many of the things we naively ingest stick to our colon and spawn free radicals, raising risk of stomach and colon cancer (all cancers for that matter), as well as heart disease.

Our planet is a mess. Google Kamilo Beach in Hawaii to see. Chemicals and pesticides routinely flow through our bodies. Babies are born with over 200 chemicals according to umbilical cord studies! Then some idiot panel decided that newborns should get ‘stuck’ with about 36 immunizations comprised of more chemicals, metals or half-dead viruses within weeks of their first breath. Since their liver isn’t even completely operational, multiple shots with different chemicals could stockpile or collide. My point is cellular garbage accumulates.

One tuna fish sandwich contains so much mercury, nutritional guidelines recommend limiting tuna. It’s in the water, and injected into some amalgams. We can’t get away from toxins, so I recommend becoming proactive

before disabilities set in, before we’ve had an opportunity to skydive, visit Paris, or ride in a hot air balloon.

The brain is made of fat so that’s where toxins accumulate, causing neurological symptoms of an unexplained nature, what your doctor calls “idiopathic.” Vague symptoms of toxic overload include fatigue, diarrhea, brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, obesity, DNA damage (cancer), menstrual irregularities and blood sugar problems. I’ve written a longer version of this article, now posted at my website if you’re interested in more ‘red alert’ symptoms, as well as more solutions.

Today let’s all unite and do some exercise (do anything!) and eat some organic fruit, cook up veggies tonight and skip the soda. That last one is not only fattening, but expensive. Soda makes me burp, is that TMI? As for natural ‘chelating’ detoxification supplements, one of many to consider is chlorella.

This tiny microalgae acts like a wet sponge and soaks up dirt stuck inside your gut. Some theorize it can bind to heavy metals, medications, pesticides and plasticizers that might be hiding inside the folds of your intestines. Chlorella is an awesome superfood, getting its green color from the chlorophyll (which tints leaves green).

You can buy chlorella supplements or (superfood green powdered drink mixes that contain chlorella) at any health food store or online store. Since it’s a breath freshener, you might notice that it improves your kiss-ability. Start with the lowest dose possible because a big dose could trigger a detoxification response, especially if you have been exposed to a moldy house in the past.

–Photo courtesy Bartley Healthcare Bartley Healthcare employees and residents participated in The MS Walk in Lake Como on April 30.

JACKSON – On April 30, Bartley Healthcare’s team of employees and residents participated in The MS Walk in Lake Como, New Jersey. Every year, Bartley participates in various fundraisers to donate and raise money towards a meaningful cause. This year, Bartley Healthcare and The Orchards Assisted Living raised $500.

The company then matched that amount, making its total donation to the MS Society $1,000.

Bartley’s team included four residents that have been diagnosed with MS. One of the residents that participated in the walk, Lorraine Wilkowski, said, “The medal that you get for walking is the most important thing for me, because that means that we are all in this together; we all walk together.”

Multiple sclerosis, or MS, can affect the brain, spinal cord and the optic nerves in your eyes. The effects are different for everyone who has the disease. Some people have mild symptoms and don’t need treatment. Others will have trouble getting around and doing daily tasks.

MS occurs when the immune system attacks a fatty material called myelin, which wraps around your nerve fibers to protect them. Without this outer shell, your nerves become damaged. The damage means your brain can’t send signals through your body correctly. Your nerves also don’t work as they should to help you move and feel.

The fi rst symptoms often start between ages 20 and 40. Some early symptoms of MS can be blurred vision, thinking problems, lack of coordination, loss of balance, numbness and tingling or weakness in an

arm or leg. Most people with MS have attacks, also called relapses, when the condition gets noticeably worse. They’re usually followed by times of recovery when symptoms improve. For other people, the disease continues to get worse over time.

In recent years, scientists have found many new treatments that can often help prevent relapses and slow the disease’s effects, but there is no cure for this disease, thus far.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, you are not alone.

The National MS Society is the trusted resource for reliable information, education, referral and support to millions of people affected by the disease. You can always reach them at 800-344-4867 or visit their website at nationalmssociety.org.

For over 31 years, Bartley Healthcare has provided quality individual focused memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation and assisted living services for residents on its 25-acre campus in Jackson, New Jersey.

As Bartley’s MS population has grown, meeting the medical and social needs of residents with MS has become an area of special focus. Founded in 1985, Bartley Healthcare has long been recognized as an award winning, quality leader with the experience in memory care, skilled nursing, post-acute care and assisted living, having been listed by U.S. News & World Report as one of America’s Best Nursing Homes.

Bartley Healthcare is Joint Commission accredited, with special certification for their Memory Care and Post-Acute Programs.

Children May Develop High Blood Pressure

NEW JERSEY – Despite popular belief, teens, children and even babies can have high blood pressure, also called HBP or hypertension. It’s not just a disease for the middle-aged and elderly.

As with adults, early diagnosis and treatment can reduce or prevent the harmful consequences of this disease, including hear t and kidney disease.

This May, National High Blood Pressure Awareness Month and American Stroke Month, the American Stroke Association wants you to check your child’s health.

When it comes to blood pressure in children, “normal” is relative. It depends on three factors: gender, age and height. Your child’s doctor can tell you what’s right for your child, because “normal” is a complicated calculation based on these factors.

What leads to HBP in children? There may be many factors that can include: Diseases including heart and kidney disease Some medications Family history Excess weight or obesity

Race, particularly African-Americans are at an increased risk Visiting your pediatrician to discuss treatment options is vital in controlling HBP. As in adults, HBP in children is typically managed with lifestyle changes, including: Enjoying a heart-healthy diet Participating in regular physical activity Managing weight The doctor may also prescribe medication if an appropriate diet and regular physical activity don’t bring the high blood pressure under control.

Children and teens should also be taught the dangers of tobacco use and protected f rom second ha nd smoke.

While cigarettes aren’t directly related to high blood pressure, they do cause a number of health risks. Parents should set a good example by not smoking and educating their children about the hazards of smoking.

Give your kids the best possible start by helping them develop heart-healthy habits early. Learn more about raising heart-healthy kids at heart.org/kids.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

You’re Not Invisible – You’re On Vacation

Dear Joel, My wife and I have a near perfect marriage. We enjoy the same things and do almost everything together, except when her mother visits. She’s a nice enough lady, but when she’s here it’s like I don’t even exist.

The Invisible Man in Toms River Dear Invisible, You folks sound like a super family. You are very lucky to have a great relationship with your wife that you enjoy every day.

Additionally, it is wonderful that your wife and your mother get along so well. If you saw all the situations and family dynamics that I have, you would know how truly blessed you are. Still, I do understand. It’s hard to feel like the odd man out, but try not to take it personally. Your wife knew your mother-in-law her whole life. It’s a sacred bond, and your wife probably loves

you more for giving her time with her mother. Don’t let it get to you, and instead, use that time to do all the things you need or want to do. When you start to view your mother-in-law’s visits as a gift to your wife and as your own personal time, you’ll all enjoy it and you’ll get a lot more accomplished. Read that book you always wanted to read, organize the garage, treat yourself to a nice meal out, take a bike ride or review all your papers and insurance policies. You may even find a little extra savings. Remember, you’re not invisible, you’re on vacation.

Ocean County Hunger Relief Open House

TOMS RIVER – Ocean County Hunger Relief is hosting an open house on June 15 from 4 to 6 p.m. at 21 Germania Station Road (between BJ’s and Mule Road).

The community is invited to stop by and meet board members, staff and enjoy light refreshments. Stop by the thrift shop, bring donations, sign up to volunteer and learn about other ways you can help our neighbors in need. If you have any questions, please call 732-505-4357.

Ocean County Hunger Relief wants to thank the surrounding community for lending its support since 1981. Monetary and product donations gave us the ability to grow and expand services. We were able to go from 400 square feet to a 15,000 square foot full service outreach center.

In 1981, we originally started providing emergency food assistance from a network of food pantries in churches strategically placed throughout Ocean County. We added a food bank that can hold 70 pallets

of food. After we assisted thousands who were affected by Superstorm Sandy with free, new products, we now have a full service thrift shop open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. We work with voucher programs and are also assisting the homeless in many ways.

If you are in trouble, there are three places to go for help: Family Government Faith based groups The government is downsizing assistance and sometimes families are not in a position to be able to help. However, you can always count on assistance from the faith based. They are unsung heroes who work hard, many times for free, giving from their hearts. The world needs love, and love in action speaks for itself. At Ocean County Hunger Relief we believe, “The Art of Living Comes From the Heart of Giving.”

Inside The Law Insurance For Homeowners

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R. C. Shea and Associates

When buying a house, you should know about the different types of insurance you may need to protect your new home. The purchase of a house is probably the biggest investment most people will ever make so you should consider the various insurances available to protect your investment.

Here are some of the forms of insurance that you should consider: Homeowners/Fire Insurance Often called “hazard” insurance by most mortgage lenders, this type of insurance will protect you in the event of a fire or other such casualty loss. There are several components to this kind of insurance. Casualty covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding your house in the event of a fire, wind damage, etc. You should also have coverage for the contents, i.e. your personal property located in the house. In addition, your homeowners policy will usually provide you with liability coverage to reimburse third parties for personal injury or property damage which you may cause to them.

It is a good idea to make a list of all the items in your home and/or take photos of them in the event that you need to make a claim. If you have homeowners insurance, make sure that you have guaranteed replacement cost. Your homeowners policy may also give you coverage to allow you to stay in alternate housing in the event that you cannot occupy your house for a period of time due to covered damage.

Flood Insurance As many people found out after Superstorm Sandy, homeowners insurance does not cover you for damage resulting from flooding. Homeowners insurance may cover damage resulting from a broken pipe or other such causes, but it provides no coverage for any water that enters your house from the exterior. In addition to providing coverage for the repair/replacement of the structure of your house, you should also consider getting flood

insurance coverage for the contents of your house.

Marc S. Galella Esq. Earthquake Insurance Most standard homeowners insurance policies will exclude coverage for damage caused by earthquakes or other such ground movement. Although earthquakes are not common in New Jersey, they are not unheard of. Remember the Northeast earthquake of August 2011? Although this widely felt earthquake did relatively little damage in New Jersey, most people do not realize that they may have had no coverage if they did experience damage.

Personal Umbrella Policy This is an inexpensive form of liability insurance coverage for when liability to a third party exceeds the coverages afforded by your standard insurance policies (homeowners or automobile). In most cases a policy with $1,000,000 of coverage will cost less than $200 per year. Coverages are available for up to $5,000,000. The drawback is that you may have to increase the limits on your automobile coverage.

You should consult a licensed insurance agent to help you decide what types of insurances and the limits of coverages you need to protect yourself and your home.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of May 27 - June 3

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may find yourself plagued by uncertainty or pressured by your peers. Focus on necessary tasks in the week ahead and do not be distracted by your own inner feelings of insecurity. Your perseverance will be rewarded.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t back down. In the upcoming week you may find yourself in a situation where someone wants you to cater to his or her selfish needs. Trust that you have shown others will be reciprocated in full.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can’t please everyone, but you can please yourself.

The ambition on your mind this week is entirely achievable. There are plenty of people, in your own home or nearby, eager to help you achieve your goals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): New people or contacts in your life may be fascinating. You may be enamored by a new flame as this week unfolds, but need to wait to see if this latest passion lasts longer than the TV show you are watching this evening.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take the right turn on your career path. In the week ahead you might experience improved working conditions or find satisfaction in a special job.

Promises should be kept and obligations should be honored.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Every quid comes with a quo. The attitude of give and take always has to begin with giving on both sides.

You can exercise your enormous charm in the week ahead to smooth ruffled feathers and set the record straight.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your passion can become a pendulum in the week ahead.

Your emotions may swing to furthest extremes when challenged to prove your affection. Keep a tight grip on your piggy bank and don’t put your pennies in peril.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t sell yourself short in the week ahead. Fostering a positive attitude can uplift the members of your household and help them make dreams come true.

Be firm and stand up for yourself and loved ones.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be mindful of your manners in the week ahead. Your careful consideration of others will give you the advantage when you are involved in delicate discussions. Ask questions rather than being told what to think.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Build bridges that connect your goals with those of others. This week you can use your charm to impress people and may even seem more skilled than usual. Be sure to remain discreet if a new lover enters the picture.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Overcome bashfulness and be direct. Warmth and enthusiasm are tools best used to take charge of the social scene or even business activities in the week to come. A new face may be just the one you want to see.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It may be tempting to bring down the hammer on someone who is in error as this week unfolds. However, if you show leniency your kindnesses will be repaid in kind. Double check your addition and subtraction.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Cool Summer Quiche

By Wolfgang Puck I recently received one of the great honors of my career with the unveiling of my very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The best part of that day was that it took place in the presence of the people who make everything I do possible: the many chefs and other team members who work in my restaurants and catering company; and, most important, my family, especially my wife Gelila and my sons Cameron, Byron, Oliver and Alexander.

The occasion made me reflect on how much has changed since I arrived in Los Angeles back in 1975. Back then, not many people considered the city’s restaurant scene worthy of praise. I’m happy to say I played some part in changing people’s attitudes; and, of course, today LA is considered an exciting place to dine, with so many brilliant chefs and an incredible melting pot of culinary influences from Latin America, Asia and other parts of the globe.

I found a good example of how much everyone’s attitudes toward dining and cooking have changed while looking over my first cookbook, “Modern French Cooking for the American Kitchen,” published in 1981. Right there on page 40 is a recipe for quiche, which at the time was a staple on restaurant lunch menus everywhere.

Today, that savory tart of egg, bacon or ham, and cheese in a puff-pastry crust seems almost quaint; a retro dish sophisticated foodies might be tempted to joke about. Back then, however, food lovers were only recently discovering how good that specialty of northeastern France’s Lorraine region could be. It certainly made sense to include it in my book.

Since that time, quiche has never really gone away. You’ll find it in some casual cafes, often with imaginative variations including vegetarian versions that might offer a wide variety of different vegetables in place of the traditional cured pork.

I believe quiche still deserves a place on the tables of sophisticated cooks.

So, with that in mind, I’d like to share a fresh-tasting take on the classic: my recipe for smoked salmon quiche.

In place of the bacon or ham, I’ve substituted smoked salmon, which you’ll find in good supermarkets everywhere.

To make the relatively simple recipe even easier, I suggest you base your quiche’s crust on good-quality puff pastry, widely available in supermarket freezer cases, following the recipe’s instructions for partially baking the shell before filling it.

Serve the quiche for lunch, brunch, or even a light springtime or summer supper. One taste and I believe you’ll understand why quiche still deserves

to be considered a classic rather than a passing trend; it’s a star of the kitchen in its own right.

SMOKED SALMON QUICHE Serves 6 1 pound store-bought frozen puff pastry, thawed following manufacturer’s instructions 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon melted, remainder at room temperature 1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten, for egg wash 1/2 medium yellow onion, cut into 1/4inch (6-mm) dice 3/4 pound (360 g) good-quality thinly sliced smoked salmon, cut into strips about 1/4 by 1 inch (6 by 24 mm) 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill 3 ounces (90 g) Gruyere cheese, coarsely shredded 7 large eggs 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) heavy cream 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) milk 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).

With the 1 tablespoon melted butter, grease the inside of a 10- or 11-inch (25- or 27.5-cm) quiche pan. Line the pan with the puff pastry, but do not trim the edges. Line the pastry with a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper and fill with ceramic or aluminum baking beans, or dried beans; bake for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and lift out the foil or paper and the beans.

Brush the bottom of the crust with the egg wash and return the pan to the oven for 10 minutes more.

Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat.

Add the diced onion and saute, stirring frequently, until the onion is tender and translucent but not yet browning, 7 to 10 minutes.

Remove the baked quiche shell from the oven. Evenly sprinkle the sauteed onion inside the shell along with the smoked salmon, chives, dill and cheese.

In a large bowl, use a whisk to beat together the eggs, cream, milk, pepper and nutmeg until well blended. Pour the mixture into the shell. With a small sharp knife or kitchen shears, trim the edges of the quiche shell.

Carefully return the filled quiche shell to the 350 F (175 C) oven. Bake until the quiche filling has puffed up and turned golden brown, about 50 minutes.

To serve, use a sharp, serrated knife to cut the warm quiche into wedges.

With a pie server, transfer the slices to individual heated serving plates.
