Deadly Intersection To Get Traffic Light

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The intersection of Frederick Drive and Route 9 - which has had three fatalities - will be getting a traffic signal, officials said.

Berkeley officials have been calling for a traffic signal at that intersection for years. However,

since Route 9 is a state highway, they had to wait for the state Department of Transportation to approve it.

Mayor Carmen Amato said that every two weeks or so, he would reach out to the state to remind them of the request in order to get a light installed before there was another fatality. The state per-

formed a seven-month study on the intersection.

Berkeley police said there have been three fatalities at that intersection since 1999. A resolution in December of 2015 asking for the traffic light stated that there had been at least 18 motor vehicle accidents, three of which involved (Intersection - See Page 4)

Coming after a very hot spell, that Saturday was actually overcast and a bit windy. The cool weather helped out the walkers who were taking to the field to raise money.

A path was marked off with signs around Veterans Park in front of the bandshell. On the

outskirts of the event, there were booths selling toys, games, and (Relay - See Page 5)

Beachwood Plans Memorial Day Events BEACHWOOD - The borough has planned an itinerary of events for Memorial Day, involving a parade, re-dedication of a fountain, and a town picnic.

The parade starts at 11 a.m. at the fire house on Beachwood Boulevard. This will be followed by a ceremony at Monument Park at 11:30 a.m.

At the ceremony, there will be a call to attention by Police Chief Robert Tapp, and an invocation by Deacon George Swanson from St. Barnabas Roman Catholic Church in Bayville. He is the fire company’s chaplain as well.

“The Star Spangled Banner” will be sung by Courtney Zahn, who appeared in American Idol in 2015.

Wreaths will be presented for deceased military members from recent wars by the following people: WWII - Rosario Gennaro

Intersection:

Continued From Page 1 pedestrians.

The traffic signal will be one in which a pedestrian can push a button to turn opposing lights red so they can cross. This

had been the kind of signal the township officials had asked for.

Berkeley had also asked for additional lighting at the intersection, to help with pedestrian crossings, and a “no left turn” sign to keep people coming out of Frederick from making a left onto Route 9 across on-

Korean War - Vito Mastropasqua Vietnam War - John Langan and Frank Seitz Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom - Sgt. Derrick Mussari Following this part of the ceremony will be a performance by the Toms River High School North Marching Band and a bugler.

There will be a gun salute by American Legion Post 129 of Toms River, and a closing statement by Mayor Ron Roma.

Then, the Centennial Fountain will be re-dedicated near the gazebo across from Mayo Park. This is being done for Beachwood’s 100th anniversary, recalling a time when the borough was first being settled and they had a town fountain.

From noon to 5 p.m., there will be a town picnic at Mayo Park.

There will be a DJ and an antique car show. Hamburgers and hot dogs will be served as part of the Beachwood Volunteer EMS fundraiser.

coming traffic. Both of those requests will be honored as well, Amato said.

The township will incur 25 percent of the cost of installing the light, Amato said.

Although the exact amount is not known, the township has had money set aside for this project to be ready to go as soon as the state gave its approval. The estimated amount for Berkeley’s share in 2015 was about $40,000.

The timeline for the project is unknown at this time. The DOT did not answer requests for information on a timeline as of deadline.

A spokesman for the DOT said in 2015 that the state has done work at that intersection in the past and would continue to do so. For example, in 2009, the DOT installed high visibility crosswalks, ramps for people with disabilities, and additional signage.

At one point in the discussion, the project became halted when there was an issue with the Transportation Trust Fund. Gov. Chris Christie halted many “non-essential” projects until the Transportation Trust Fund could be funded. He and Senate lawmakers were at odds on how to do this.

with the roads and infrastructure,” Mayor Ron Roma said. The streets in town have a repair schedule based on how badly they need work. Usually, it is not just repaving.

There is often water or sewer work that also has to be done. So, all the work is done at the same time.

Additionally, the borough has a commitment to funding equipment for the volunteer squads, or municipal vehicles like a garbage truck, he added. There is also the rising costs of insurance that has to be dealt with.

On the plus side, this past winter was mild without much snow removal costs, he said.

After the event, Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato said that there were 35 teams in the event.

Shawn Triggs, community manager for the American Cancer Society, said that $52,000 was raised at the event, but teams are still fundraising.

Continued From Page 1 a decrease of $222,975.13 from 2016’s final budget of $10,852,022.76.

The amount to be raised in taxes will be $7,048,074.63, an increase of $95,762.22 from 2016’s $6,952,312.41 The tax rate will be 87.4 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. It is an increase of about .9 cents from 2016’s 86.5 cents.

On a home valued at the township’s average of $203,300, the increase would be $18.29 a year, from $1,758.55 to $1,776.84.

She detailed some of the research that the fundraising is going toward, including learn-

Residents Complain Of Trucks On Beachwood Blvd.

By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – After residents complained about tractor trailers driving on Beachwood Boulevard, borough officials said they started looking for solutions.

Borough planner Jim Oris said that he discussed the issue with the county engineers. There was an idea to pass an

ordinance that would ban large trucks from traveling on that road.

However, Oris said this could create a different problem, where truck drivers would then choose an alternate route which might impact a different neighborhood. The discussion to fi nd solutions is ongoing.

Central Alum Speaks To Lakehurst D.A.R.E. Grads

By Sara Grillo LAKEHURST – Two 5th grade classes at Lakehu rst Element ar y School graduated from the D.A.R.E. – Drug Abuse Resistance Education program on a sunny, May 16 afternoon.

Before they received their certificates of completion, they were treated to an assembly led by Nick Santonastasso, an inspiring Central Regional alum who became a wrestler and fitness model – even though he was born with a genetic condition that left him with no legs, an undeveloped right arm and a left arm with one finger.

He spun a strong message of positivity for the graduating 5th graders, encouraging them to stay positive, overcome challenges, give school and their teachers 100 percent, and most importantly, that failure is awesome. Nick said that

his biggest motivation is people telling him that he can’t do something, and hoped to pass on the same message to the attentive young minds.

The students seemed more interested in Nick than they did in graduating, and asked him a plethora of questions about what inspired him to wrestle, who he looks up to the most and the hardest thing in life he’s had to accomplish.

Patrol Officer Roberta Brooks of the Lakehurst Police Department served as this year’s D.A.R.E. officer and teacher during the 10-week program.

“It has been a great opportunity for me to be able to teach these students,” said Brooks. “I had the opportunity to get to know these students and build a strong rapport with them over the last 10 weeks. They learned from me, but I learned a lot from them also.”

The D.A.R.E. program, which has been a driving force in school systems across the county for over 30 years, is much more than a drug prevention prog ram, said Brooks. She said the prog ram teaches child ren tools and st rategies to g row i nto responsible citizens who lead drug-free lives. Good decision making, goal setting, taking positive r isks, healthy self- esteem, communicating confidently, giving and asking for help, managing emotions and making friends are all key parts of the program. Students are given scenarios that might come up in middle or high school, and then work with their classmates to come up with solutions on how to respect each other, face peer pressure and avoid being taken advantage of or bullied.

Students were asked to write an essay summarizing what they learned during the D.A.R.E. program, and one winner from each class was chosen: Taylor Hoenge from Mrs. Triolo’s class and Alexandra Spear from Mrs. Hoerster’s class. The two young women read their essays at the podium after receiving their graduation certificates.

Officer Brooks thanked Mrs. Triolo and Mrs. Hoerster for their help during the program and for sharing their own experiences with students. As parting advice, she brought up the statewide opioid epidemic, encouraging parents to face the issue head on.

“Please talk with your children, not at them. Make time not only to hear them, but to also listen to what they are saying,” said Brooks.

MacArthur Leads Letter Urging Funding For KC-46 Hangars From The Desk Of

Congressman Tom MacArthur NEW JERSEY – Congressman MacArthur today urged Secretar y of Defense James Mattis to i nclude f u ndi ng i n the f iscal year 2018 budget for new hangars to house the KC-46 tankers at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, as well as any other construction that would help ease the KC-46 transit ion. MacA r t hu r was joined by Representatives Chris Smith, Frank LoBi-

ondo and Donald Norcross in this request.

“The placement of the KC- 46 tan kers is critical for our national defense, for Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and for the over 42,000 New Jersey residents who are employed at the base,” said Congressman MacArthur.

“Now, it is vital that new hangars for the KC-46 are funded as soon as possible so they are completed in

time for the arrival of the tankers. Preparing for new KC-46 refueling tankers with new hangars will ensure no interruption in our vital air mobility mission and will help save lives.”

“Joi nt Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst has an outstanding record of supporting cr ucial missions that have been at the forefront of U.S. national security and defense. The basing of the next generation of refueling tankers at the Joint Base is a natural fit for the Air Force and a win for our Joint Base and local communities,” said Congressman Chris Smith. “Ensuring timely funding for the hangars where the KC-46As will

be based is not only good for the tens of thousands who are employed at the Joi nt Base —it is good for the safety and power projection of our nation.”

“Ensuring the readiness of our military assets at the Joint Base is critical for our national security. New hangars for the KC-46 f leet should be a priority for the upcoming Defense Department

funding and I appreciate the bipar tisan effor t of the New Jersey delegation in advocating for its inclusion,” said Congressm a n Fr a n k L oBio nd o, a senior member of the House A r med Ser vices Committee.

“The next generation of air refueling tankers a t Ne w Je r s e y’s Joi nt Base provides certainty for future generations of

New Jerseyans and we are working together to ensure there are no preventable delays for that new fleet,” said Congressman Donald Norcross. “As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I will continue to fight to protect Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and its strategic importance to our state and country’s national security.”

BlueClaws Launch TD Bank Summer Concert Series

AFFORDABLE SCREENROOMS & SUNROOMS

LAKEWOOD – The Lakewood BlueClaws are pleased to launch the TD Bank Summer Concert Series, which kicked off at their game on Saturday, May 27.

The TD Bank Summer Concert Series runs over the eight Saturday home games from May 27 through September 2 and includes two hours of live music before the game.

At these eight games, stadium gates will open two hours prior to first pitch (instead of the usual one hour, although season ticket holders can still get in 30 minutes earlier than the general public).

Music will run from the time the gates open until the start of the game in the Coors Light WRAT Trap and fans can enjoy $2.50 Miller Lites during the game.

The TD Bank Summer Concert Series Schedule is as follows: June 17 – Band TBD from 5 to 7 p.m.

July 1 – Parrotbeach Band from 5 to 7 p.m.

July 15 – After the Reign from 5 to 7 p.m.

July 29 – E-Street Shuffle from 5 to 7 p.m.

August 5 – Kilmaine Saints from 5 to 7 p.m.

August 19 – The Impulsives from 5 to 7 p.m.

September 2 – British Mania from 5 to 7 p.m.

Tickets to all eight of these games are available by calling 732-901-7000, option 2 or going online at BlueClaws.com.

Several of these games also include some of the BlueClaws most popular theme nights of 2017: June 17 is A BlueClaws Christmas Story

and will include a Leg Lamp Bobble giveaway and an appearance by Santa.

July 1 is the BlueClaws Parrothead Party which includes specialty jerseys worn by the players to be auctioned off to benefit BlueClaws Charities and their Community Partners as well as food & drink specials throughout the night.

July 15 is the BlueClaws Country Night, which will include a mechanical bull, line dancing, drink specials and more.

July 29 is the 10th BlueClaws Bruce Springsteen Appreciation Night, where the BlueClaws become the BruceClaws.

They will wear special jerseys to be auctioned off, Springsteen music will be played throughout the night and there will be special contests and promotions during the game.

August 5 is Irish Heritage Night, which includes a BlueClaws Irish Cap giveaway for the first 1,500 fans thanks to AJ Perri.

September 2 is the BlueClaws Extravaganza, which includes free rides and games during the afternoon for kids, with the gates opening at 3 p.m. There will also be a team autograph signing, Vendor Village and additional fun for fans of all ages.

“Just like the fi re department and the police, first aiders go unrecognized until someone needs them,” Mayor Ron Roma said.

Captain Jim Horn and the members of the

Beachwood Volunteer EMS were honored for their service in light of the organization’s 75th anniversary. He said the squad had 680 calls so far this year.

“From the law enforcement side, when you’re on a first aid call, there’s no better sound than that ambulance coming up the street,” said Councilman William Cairns, the former police chief.

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 the tab is removed, replacing it will not

extend battery life.

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.

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. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Health Department Makes A Splash To Ensure Your Day At The Beach Is A Blast

OCEAN COUNTY – One of the nation’s longest running and most comprehensive beach testing programs will once again monitor Ocean County’s ocean, bay, river and lake beaches this summer season. “The Ocean County Health Department will be back inspecting the water quality every week at 52 public bathing beaches throughout the county from mid-May through Labor Day 2017,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

Each week the OCHD tests water samples from the county’s salt and freshwater swimming beaches. The water is tested for two types of bacteria – enterococcus and fecal coliform. If the results come back with higher than acceptable levels, the water is immediately retested. After the second high reading, the beach is closed and tested daily until bacteria levels return to normal.

“We can all help to keep our waterways and beaches clean by picking up after our pets and not throwing trash or cigarette butts onto the streets,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who is also liaison to the Office of Tourism and Business Development. “This waste eventually washes into lakes, rivers and the bay and contributes to our beach closings.”

You can help to protect your health while swimming at the beach by taking these simple steps: Observe Swimming Advisories – do not enter the water at a beach under a swimming advisory.

Avoid swallowing water when swimming – natural waters may contain disease-causing

organisms that can cause gastrointestinal illness if swallowed.

Avoid swimming for a few days after heavy rainfall – bacteria levels are likely to be high and disease-causing organisms are more likely to be present after rainfall due to pollution from land runoff and other sources.

Prevent direct contact of cuts and open wounds – natural waters may contain disease-causing organisms that may cause skin infections.

Do not swim if you are ill or have a weakened immune system – some organisms are opportunistic and may only cause illness when you are already ill or your immune system is weakened.

Shower with soap after swimming – showering helps remove potential disease-causing organisms.

Swim away from fishing piers, pipes, drains and water flowing from storm drains onto a beach.

Do not dispose of trash, pet waste, or dirty diapers on the beach.

Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator, advises, “The Ocean County Health Department posts on its website a list of all 52 beaches within the monitoring program, the weekly water quality reports and any closures so residents and visitors can have up to date information before hitting the beach this summer.”

For more information regarding the OCHD water-monitoring program, please call 732341-9700, ext. 7471 or follow the Health Department on Twitter @OCpublichealth or like us on Facebook.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

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.

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 t he sit u at ions a nd fa m ily dynamics that I have, you would know how tr uly 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 proba-

bly 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.

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.

Earthquake Insurance Marc S. Galella Esq. 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.

Volunteers Needed For 2017 “Paddle For The Edge”

OCEAN COUNTY – Do you have a kayak, canoe or stand-up paddleboard? The Barnegat Bay Partnership is looking for paddling enthusiasts to help collect important data about the condition of shorelines along the Barnegat Bay. With many miles of shoreline, their scientists can’t do it alone – they need the help of citizen science volunteers like you.

First launched by the Barnegat Bay Partnership in 2015, “Paddle for the Edge” has become an annual event. In 2015 and 2016, volunteers paddled a total of 50 miles of shoreline and collected more than 1,800 data points with their smartphones, all while enjoying a great time out on the water. The data provides important information about the state of the bay’s marshes and will help guide future research and restoration projects.

This summer’s “Paddle for the Edge” event will take place from June 17 through July

5. Volunteer paddlers can spend just a few hours on the water anytime during these dates to record some basic information for the Partnership’s shoreline study.

Interested? The first step is to attend one of the following training sessions to learn how to collect the data: June 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Library, 101 Washington Street in Toms River.

June 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. and June 10 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Tuckerton Seaport, 120 West Main Street in Tuckerton.

June 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Stafford Branch of the Ocean County Library, 129 North Main Street in Manahawkin.

Visit bbp.ocean.edu/pages/380.asp to register for a 2017 training session and to learn more about “Paddle for the Edge.”

For any questions, email Paddle4TheEdge@ gmail.com.

NOAA Rolls Into NJ For Roundtable Discussion

NEW JERSEY – NOAA Fisheries held an invite only roundtable meeting today at the Manasquan Reservoir Visitor Center in an attempt to “continue building a strong partnership between recreational fishermen and NOAA Fisheries.” The purpose of the 4-hour meeting lead by NOAA Fisheries Northeast Regional Administrator (RA) John Bullard was to listen to the concerns and interests of fishermen and collaboratively explore solutions through open dialogue. The meeting comes at a time when recreational fishermen and fishing businesses have been extremely critical and vocal about the unfair treatment to their sector. Their pleas have largely been ignored which is why the RFA opted not to attend today’s meeting. In fisheries such as summer flounder, black sea bass and others, much of the industry’s frustration has been directed at RA Bullard who has failed to exercise any degree of flexibility when he could have to help our sector.

NOAA Fisheries’ response in the form of today’s roundtable meeting was viewed by the industry as a shallow and insulting token of outreach; one in a long series of similar-

ly-styled meetings conducted over the past 3 decades that have been largely unproductive.

A review of today’s agenda finds that the roundtable served as the last opportunity of NOAA political appointees within the agency to advance the former administration’s policies that have been so detrimental to the recreational fishing community.

“Mr. Bullard took great pleasure in carrying out the Obama/Lubchenco agenda on fisheries in this country,” said Jim Donofrio, executive director of the Recreational Fishing Alliance, referencing the former NOAA Administrator and Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere, Jane Lubchenco. “We are hoping new Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross will give serious consideration to replacing Regional Administrator John Bullard who has been hostile to the recreational sector as a whole since his appointment.”

The meeting included a discussion of the Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) and the recent report produced by the National Academy of Sciences that conducted a review of the program. The 2016

report generally praised the improvements made to the program since its scathing 2006 that found the program’s predecessor, MRFFS, fatally flawed. MRIP architect Gordon Colvin gave a briefing on the program and touched on the superficial improvements made to the program. One glaring omission from the 2016 NAS report was the evaluation of MRIP relative to whether the program is compatible with the administration of annual catch limits (ACLs) in the recreation sector.

The fact that this key aspect was absent from the report makes the findings all but worthless from a management standpoint.

Also discussed was a demonstration on for-hire electronic reporting given by Rick Bellevance who was appointed to the New England Fishery Management Council (NEFMC) last year by the Obama Administration and is a vocal advocate of sector separation, a management approach supported by the environmental industry and which led to privatization of the Gulf of Mexico red snapper fishery. Sector separation lays the ground work for the implementation of catch shares and is management approach

that favors corporate interests at the expense of private anglers.

“A purging of the Obama policies and appointments within NOAA Fisheries can’t come soon enough,” continued Donofrio.

“We hope today’s meeting represents the final gasp of former administration’s policies which were so bad for our sport and our industry.”

The RFA is looking forward to appointments being made for the positions of NOAA Administrator and NOAA Fisheries Assistant Administrator. These key appointments, which will be made by Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, will have a significant impact on the policies and tone taken by these two agencies charged with the implementation and enforcement of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. “As a member of the tackle industry, we look forward to working with Secretary Ross and his new NOAA team,” said Nick Cicero of Folsom Tackle. “It will be refreshing to work with an administration that understands the balance between commerce and conservation.”

Ocean County Schedules Free Document Shredding Days

OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders is offering residents 22 different opportunities to get rid of their residential documents in a secure and safe way.

“Ocean County’s Residential Document Shredding Program kicked off on April 8 at the Berkeley Township Recycling Center in Berkeley Township,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the county’s award-winning recycling program. “That is the first of 22 different dates for the popular program that is held throughout the County. We have added four more dates this year.

“This program provides a great service to our residents by shredding personal documents and information that otherwise may wind up in regular trash,” Little said. “With identity theft on the rise, this offers security to our residents and also keeps all of this paper out of the Ocean County Landfill. It’s a win, win.”

In 2016, a total of 102 tons or 204,000 pounds of documents were collected and shredded during the 18 collection dates. The amount collected is up 16,000 pounds.

“Ocean County is a large county and we make every effort to make this program easily accessible to all our citizens,” said Freeholder

Director Joseph H. Vicari. “This program has been embraced by all of our residents who want to rid their homes of personal papers without worrying about them falling into the hands of people who may use it for the wrong reasons.”

“This program was first started in 2008 and has grown in popularity,” Little said.

The work is being performed by Autoshred of Toms River.

Residents are not required to register for this free program and can bring six boxes or bags each day. The program is for all paper documents and paper forms. Paperclips and staples do not have to be removed.

Little noted the shredding unit features an automatic feeding and dumping system, eliminating the need for human contact with a resident’s documents. Events will run their complete scheduled time or until the truck is full. The truck capacity is 8,000 pounds.

Little said that for residents who prefer to shred their documents at home, Ocean County offers drop-off boxes at both County recycling centers for shredded office papers.

“Shredded office paper should not be placed with curbside recyclables and instead should be brought to the drop-off boxes at the county

recycling centers,” Little said. “The shredded paper cannot be effectively sorted by the County’s recyclable materials processing facility. I encourage our residents to recycle it separately which allows us to produce a viable, marketable commodity.”

Drop-off boxes can be accessed by Building 105 at the Ocean County Southern Recycling Center, 379 Haywood Road, Stafford Township or Building 68 at the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center at 601 New Hampshire Ave., Lakewood.

Little also suggested residents contact their municipal recycling centers to learn whether there is a local drop-off box for shredded office papers.

The following is a list of dates, times and locations for the Residential Document Shredding Program: June 10, Stafford Township, Southern Recycling Center, 379 Haywood Road, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Prevention First Launches Awareness Campaign For Students

NEW JERSEY – Spring has sprung and that means prom season. Prevention First is challenging seniors from participating Monmouth and Ocean county high schools to create a 30-second public service announcement (PSA) about avoiding risky behaviors like drinking and driving, drugs or dangerous physical activities and situations.

The theme is Make It A Memory, Not A Mistake and PSAs will demonstrate that prom memories should not be ruined by a bad choice. The winning high school will receive a $1,000 cash grant, prizes from sponsors, guest spots on radio stations and a special trophy customized for the Prom PSA Contest.

Preferred Behavioral Health Group CEO Mary Pat Angelini states, “The campaign begins a year-long effort to raise awareness with our youth and the community. By empowering them to create the message, we hope to lower the occurrence of risky behaviors. A multi-faceted approach to information sharing has been spearheaded by youth groups from both Monmouth and Ocean counties working together to raise awareness. It is critical that our young adults are equipped with the knowledge of what the costs are and how they can be avoided.”

To accomplish this goal, Prevention First has created a bi-county campaign to raise awareness with teens and their families before a mistake ruins the memory of what should be a joyful time in a child’s life. Thanks to sponsors Sansone Jr.’s 66 Automall, Lakehouse Music Academy, Woolley-Boglioli and Holmdel Funeral Homes, Spring Lake Manor, Townsquare Media (94.3 The Point & 92.7 The Beach),

Prevention Coalition of Monmouth County and Preferred Behavioral Health Group for making this event possible.

Presenting sponsor Sansone Jr.’s 66 Automall will host a Winners’ Breakfast on May 5 where the winning high school will be announced by Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno.

The event is open to the public and tickets are available for $25 at preventionfirstprompsa. eventbrite.com. Attendees will have a chance to take home two tickets to see Justin Bieber live in concert and other special gifts. More information on the contest, Winners’ Breakfast and the powerful Make It A Memory, Not A Mistake video can be found on the Prevention First Facebook page.

Over 25 high schools are currently engaged to create an audio PSA, with the winning PSA to be aired on multiple radio stations.

Communicating the prevention message will include collaboration with other local organizations, press articles, social and digital media and participation in community events. The aim is to educate our youth, empower them to deliver the message and, ultimately, avoid the tragic consequences of these risky behaviors.

Prevention First, a division of Preferred Behavioral Health Group, is celebrating 50 years of service to the community. They provide prevention education to meet the needs of New Jersey families and children with programs in education and training for parents, caregivers, businesses, law enforcement, community groups, teachers and school faculty.

Ticks Carrying Lyme Disease Are On The Rise In Ocean County OCEAN COUNTY – As the days start getting warmer, Ocean County officials warn residents to be aware of ticks and tick borne illnesses such as Lyme disease.

“In 2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that 95 percent of Lyme disease cases were reported in 14 states including New Jersey,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who is also liaison to the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Service. “County agencies are working together to educate and raise awareness so we can keep the number of tick borne illness incidents low.”

The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies believes 2017 could be a bad year – a “forbidding forecast”– for Lyme disease, based on a large acorn crop in 2015 leading to an increase in the white-footed mouse population. Feeding on infected mice is a primary way ticks pick up Lyme and other diseases.

Lyme disease is spread by the blacklegged tick (deer tick) which can be found on the shrubby understory of the forest, in high grassy areas and in open fields. Ticks tend to favor the thick undergrowth of shrubs and small trees because they prefer cool, moist woodlands.

According to the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Fact Sheet FS443 “Preventing Tick Bites: Prevent Lyme Disease,” about 20 to 45 percent of Ocean County, about 20 to 45 percent of blacklegged ticks in New Jersey (depending on the life stage and where they are found) are infected with and are able to transmit Lyme disease. More than 70 percent of Lyme disease cases occur from the bite of ticks in the nymph stage – which is the size of a poppy seed.

“When spending time outdoors it’s very important to be vigilant of tick bites,” Vicari said.

Transmission of Lyme disease is mainly during the warmer months, but as long as temperatures are above freezing, blacklegged ticks are active the entire year.

“One of the most important things we can do is take precautions that help reduce the chance of becoming infected with any tick-borne infection,” said Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Health Department.

The Ocean County Health Department suggests that people take the following pre-

cautions to keep ticks off their skin: Walk on cleared trails and stay in the center of a trail to minimize contact with leaf litter, brush and high grasses where ticks are likely to be found.

Minimize the amount of exposed skin.

Wear thick white socks, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt. Tuck the pant legs into the socks, so ticks cannot crawl up the inside of the pants. Wearing light-colored clothing also makes it easier to see ticks. If you see any ticks while still outside, remove them immediately before going indoors.

Golfers walking through brushy areas should be aware of ticks.

Apply repellents to skin and clothing; read and follow the label instructions.

Products that contain DEET can be directly applied to exposed skin and to clothing to help keep ticks away. The product label will give details about how to apply the repellent and how to use it safely on children.

Permethrin (hunter-grade) products can be applied to clothing/boots/shoes (NOT TO SKIN) and actually kill ticks on contact with the treated clothing. This is usually effective on clothing through several washings.

After outdoor activities, be sure to check your body for ticks and remove any immediately. Use a hand-held mirror to thoroughly view all parts of the body. Check children and pets for ticks, also.

If you find a tick on yourself, your child or your pet: Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible.

Pull upward with steady, even pressure.

Don’t twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouth-parts with tweezers.

After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water.

It is important to remember that a tick must feed for at least 24 hours before they can begin to transmit the Lyme disease bacterium Avoid folklore remedies such as “painting” the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly, or using heat to make the tick detach from the skin.

Health officials also recommend if you find a tick, place it in a sealed container with a slightly damp (with water, not alcohol) piece of paper towel. You may take the tick to the Rutgers Cooperative Extension located at 1623 Whitesville Road (at the corner of Whitesville Road and Sunset Avenue) in Toms River to be identified. Tick experts are available from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday to identify ticks. If the tick is identified as a black-legged tick, the staff will make recommendations according to the CDC. The Rutgers Extension also has a listing of labs that the tick can be sent to for testing.

More information on ticks and preventing tick bites can be obtained by calling the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Office at 732-3491246, visiting the Extension Office website at ocean.njaes.rutgers.edu or by visiting the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

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.
