These are warning signs that you are too close. Slowly back away, avoid direct eye contact and do not run. • If a bear stands on its hind legs or moves closer, it may be trying to get a better view or detect scents in the air. It is usually not a threatening behavior. • Black bears will sometimes “bluff charge” when cornered, threatened or attempting to steal food. Stand your ground, avoid direct eye contact, then slowly back away and do not run. • If the bear does not leave, move to a secure area.

By nature, black bears tend to be wary of people. However, since it is possible the bear may wander back into residential areas, Manchester Township Police are advising residents to become familiar with the following bear safety tips published on the Division of Fish and Wildlife website: state.nj.us/dep/fgw/ bearfacts_ safetytips.htm. • Never feed or approach a bear! • Remain calm if you encounter a bear. • Make the bear aware of your presence by speaking in an assertive voice, singing, clapping your hands, or making other noises. • Make sure the bear has an escape route. If a bear enters your home, provide it with an escape route by propping all doors open. • Avoid direct eye contact, which may be perceived by a bear as a challenge. • Never run from a bear. Instead, slowly back away. • To scare the bear away, make loud noises by yelling, banging and pans or using an air horn. Make yourself look as big as possible by waving your arms. If

MANCHESTER – Police are advising residents to take precautions should they encounter a black bear that may be living in or around the eastern portion of Manchester Township. The bear, spotted in the township’s Cedar Glen Homes and Holly Oaks section on May 21, is not believed to have caused any signif icant disturbances, police said. However, residents should be vigilant as to its presence in the area. On Sunday evening, the Manchester Township Police responded to Holly Hill Road in the Holly Oaks section of the township for the report of a black bear sighting. The bear, believed to be approximately 200-250 lbs. was located climbing a tree in a homeowner’s yard. Officers, using sirens, air horns and water hoses, were able to move the bear, which was not aggressive, to the wooded area behind Holly Oaks along the Jackson and Toms River border. Officers are not permitted to utilize lethal force on any animals, domestic or wild, that do not pose an immediate threat to their safety or the safety of others.

AG: POLICE SHOOTING OF SUICIDAL MAN JUSTIFIED

MANCHESTER – The Office of the Attorney General found that the use of deadly force by a township police officer was justified. The incident took place on July 31, 2016. Three officers responded to Robin Street, in a senior community. A suicidal man with unknown weapons called 911. He described himself as being in

the U.S. Marine Corp and having anger issues. When the officers found the man, LiMichael Shine, he told officers he had a knife and was planning on attacking them. He told off icers he wanted to commit suicide, and wanted to force the officers to shoot him. According to the officers, Shine began

“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 program, said Brooks. She said the program teaches children tools and strategies to grow into responsible citizens who lead drug-free lives. Good decision making, goal setting, taking positive risks, 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

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.

to count down from 15 while pulling the knife out of his waistband. Officers backed up in response. Shine was about 20 feet away from an officer when he ran after him to attack. The officer fired one shot, striking him in the chest. Officers attempted lifesaving techniques until the ambulance ar rived. Shine was transferred to Community

Medical Center and was pronounced dead. Inside Shine’s vehicle, a suicide note was found that read, in part, “I am sorry to the officer on duty that will do this act. Remember you are loved.” The Attorney General’s decision was based on officers’ reports as well as neighbors who witnessed the event.

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 experi-

ences 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.

At-risk individuals could be equipped with a personal transmitter worn on their ankle or wrist, and the trained officers now have the equipment to track the signal to help find the person. Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said that the three certified officers were chosen for their skills: Officer Carl Wydrozynski is a pilot who flies BlackHawk helicopters for the Air National Guard; Lt. Joe Green is a drone hobbyist; and Sgt. David Deleeuw, a former civil engineer and self-described “technology geek” works in the crime scene investigative unit at the Sheriff’s Department. They had three days of training online and in a classroom where they learned the software, and then they learned how to fly the drones by performing mock missions. The officers fly the drones up to 400 feet, but they have the ability to reach 18,000 feet, explained lead instructor Chris Gibson, who has 22 years of experience operating, teaching and selling drones through his Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company Sentera LLC. The Project Lifesaver drone can fly in any

With the changes implemented, the district now has one of the highest graduation rates in Ocean County. “If you go back about 10 years ago, there was a cut to a lot of programs, adult high school being one of them,” high school counselor Shannon Findlow said. “There were not alternative programs and schools were forced to bring in a lot of students who were out of district, forced

The Manchester Times, May 27, 2017, Page 7 weather and can fly twice as long as other drones, up to 50 minutes, he said. Operators use a directional antenna that can turn on a pirouette, Gibson said. The range of the beacon is seven miles, and most “wanderers” are found within a few miles from wherever they left. The drone could also carry a camera to help locate people who are not wearing a tracking device. “They are very easy to fly,” said helicopter pilot Wydrozynski. “This drone can do a lot of things. You can program a flight plan so it can fly by itself,” he said as he was doing a practice run at the Ocean County Police Academy on May 19. Gibson, the instructor, agreed with him. “For example, you could program it to do a mapping mission or document a forest fire, flood or traffic accident,” he explained. “The officer is still in control, but he can just watch while he’s doing something else.” Ocean County has been using drones for law enforcement since 2014 and now the Sheriff’s Department has five drones and one underwater drone that all have different sets of requirements, Gibson said. Mastronardy said that before the FAA changed the rules, drone operators needed to have a pilot’s license, even for law enforce-

ment use. Drones can be used by the Office of Emergency Management for before and after coastal storms, Mastronardy said. They can also be used for search and rescue missions, traffic control, crowd control, and much more. Project Lifesaver trainer Gary Reynolds said he travels to all 50 states to teach the technology to police officers and firefighters and how to interact with special needs people.

to come back to school. Because of those cuts, there weren’t as many other opportunities for kids to get their diplomas.” Those challenges, she said, caused the district to look at alternatives themselves. “It was a shared vision that we had as administrators, as counselors, and teachers, to make sure that we’re assisting students in every way possible to be college and career ready, and it’s definitely a multi-faceted approach, targeting our attendance, making sure our students are in school,” high school principal Dennis Adams said. “We’ve done better tracking of our transfers in and out of state. Our guidance counselors and teachers have really worked hard together to make sure that students’ needs

were being met, making sure kids were placed properly.” One program, Student Opportunity for Achievement and Readiness, was implemented during the 2015-16 school year to take at-risk students out of traditional classroom settings to help them get back on track, ready to graduate. Students also have options to take classes online. “That combination helped put us in a good place,” Adams said. A problem that often led to dropping out is chronic absenteeism, which Adams and counselor Shannon Findlow said is combated by meeting with students and talking to parents when patterns in absences are detected.

Too many absences can lead to credit denial. Students who were absent had to make up “seat time” by staying after school and working with teachers. Because of the line of communication opened about absences, Adams said the school has seen a decrease in absences. Looking forward, the high school wants to expand its S.O.A.R. program to accommodate more students. “We have to continue targeting the attendance. We have to continue to have a shared vision as a building, and making sure our S.O.A.R. program is supported by the staff and administration, and positive reinforcement to help this be the standard,” Adams said.

10th Legislative District - Serving Manchester Senator Jim Holzapfel

Senators Kean, Holzapfel Introduce Legislation To Strengthen Child Pornography Law

NEW JERSEY – 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 strengthen 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 serious threat to our children and our community,” said Senator Kean. “The Attorney 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.” The bill expands the definition of child pornography to include the portrayal of a child in a sexual manner. Under the bill, this is defined as: (1) depicting a child’s less than completely and opaquely covered intimate parts, as defined in current statute, or any form of contact with the intimate parts 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 sure our 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 defines 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 fines, imprisonment or both. The bill also establishes the crime of “leader of child pornography 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 fine 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 files containing child pornography are made available to an organized group. Leader of a child pornography network is a crime of the first 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 first degree is punishable by a term of imprisonment of 10 to 20 years, a fine of up to $200,000, or both. A crime of the second degree is punishable by a term of imprisonment of five to 10 years, a fine of up to $150,000, or both.Acrime of the third degree is punishable by a term of imprisonment of three to five years, a fine of up to $15,000, or both. A crime of the fourth degree is punishable by a term of imprisonment of up to 18 months, a fine 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 pornography. 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 pornography 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 first degree; possession of less than 100,000 items but greater than 1,000 items a crime of the second degree; 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 distributor 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 first 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 finds 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

Senator Jim Holzapfel 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.

Officers:

Continued From Page 1 the U.S., she said. So far this year, some 48 officers have died. The average age is 42 and the average time on the force is about 14.5 years. Ocean County is no longer a sparsely populated sleepy hamlet as it was in the 1960s when the population was about 54,000, Haines said. Today there are over 600,000 residents - which swells to over one million in the summer - and with the increased population comes what used to be considered urban crimes, she said. “At some time in each of our lives, a police officer will be there at our most vulnerable time,” Haines said. “Behind each police officer is their family, who every day says a prayer for their safe return at the end of their shift.” About two dozen family members of fallen officers attended the ceremony, including Lisa Preslar, 46, and her two daughters, Julia, 15, and Gracie, 14. Her husband, Lakewood Police Officer William Preslar was on his way to a call when he swerved to avoid hitting a deer and crashed into a tree, killing him instantly. “We come every year, and this year is extra special because on May 14 it has been 10 years,” she said. “Every year they say his name and the kids get to hear it.” Ten years ago this month police officers came to her door at 6 a.m. with the terrible news. “They came to notify me. That knock on my door was the worst day of my life,” Preslar said. “The kids kept me going. They were four and five at the time and they needed a mom.” People assume that since it’s been 10 years she is over her grief, she said, but it never ends. “He’s missing everything. It’s not easy. Sometimes you think you’re doing okay, but then something pops up. Grief surprises you,” Preslar said. She honors her husband’s memory by participating in the annual Police Unity Tour, a 300-mile bike ride to raise awareness for law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. “It’s good to let your grief out. It’s healing,” Preslar said. “There’s always someone we can reach out to for help or support.” Kelly Walsifer was only 24 in January 2011 when her fiance, Lakewood Police Officer Christopher Matlosz, 27, was shot in the head by someone he had stopped for routine questioning. “I come here every year, I like to do it to remember him and see familiar faces,” she said. “It’s been really, really hard with a lot of ups and downs.” Walsifer came to the observance with her mother and her boyfriend of two years, who is also a police officer. “You have to move on and move forward.

–Photos by Judy Smestad-Nunn Police officers pay their respects at the Ocean County Law Enforcement Memorial Day Observance in Lakewood on May 19. Officers stand in front of the wreath that they placed in memoriam. Christopher would want me to find love and find happiness and life again. That’s what he was all about,” she said. Walsifer was the store manager at Williams Sonoma in Sea Girt on the day Matlosz was killed, and she recalled getting a text message from a friend asking if she knew which Lakewood police officer had been shot. “I just knew. I tried to call him like a thousand times, and no one answered, so I called the Lakewood Police Department directly, and the police chief told me to go to Jersey Shore Medical Center,” she said. “It’s every person’s nightmare.” Each of the family members were accompanied by a police officer and given a rose to lay on the police memorial there. The event was hosted by the Ocean County Chiefs of Police Association with support from the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Hundreds of area police officers attended the memorial observation, along with Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato, Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy, local police chiefs, police motorcycle squads, bagpipes and honor guard. The Ocean County Vocational Technical School Performing Arts Academy Vocal Ensemble and the Point Pleasant Borough High School Panther Concert Band performed for the attendees.

Get More Life From Your Batteries

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!

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH 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.

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 preventionfi rstprompsa.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.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

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 cover- Marc S. Galella Esq. age for the contents of your house. 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. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney.

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. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

–Photo courtesy Manchester Township Police Department A motor vehicle accident in Whiting involving an overturned dump truck on Monday afternoon sent three people to the hospital. MANCHESTER – Around 3 p.m. on May 15, Manchester Township Police responded to a motor vehicle accident in Whiting involving an overturned dump truck that was carrying stones. Amazingly, all three people involved in the crash suffered non-life threatening injuries. The accident occurred at the intersection of Route 539 and Harry Wright Blvd. When officers arrived at the scene, they observed a 2008 Nissan Altima pinned under a heavy duty dump truck that was loaded with stone along the northbound shoulder of Route 539. An initial investigation revealed that the dump truck was traveling southbound on Route 539 when it struck the driver’s side of the Nissan as it was making a left turn onto Harry Wright Blvd. from Route 539 South. The impact caused both vehicles to leave the roadway, and after colliding with multiple signs and trees, triggered the dump truck to overturn onto the Nissan’s roof and spill its load. The driver of the Nissan, 24-year-old Andrea Penna of Whiting, was trapped underneath stone and debris as a result of the vehicle’s roof collapsing on top of her. Extensive extrication efforts were conducted and Penna was eventually rescued from her vehicle and transported to Community Medical Center for

treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the dump truck, 41-year-old Tayfun Obut of Browns Mills, and the front seat passenger of the Nissan, 22-year-old Kaitlyn McCabe of Lakehurst, also sustained non-life threatening injuries and were transported to Community Medical Center for evaluation and treatment. The roadway was closed for several hours during the rescue, investigation and cleanup. Assisting at the scene were detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigations (CSI) Unit, as well as members of both the Manchester and Whiting Volunteer Fire Departments. Also assisting were EMTs from Quality Medical Transport and paramedics from MONOC, as well as representatives from the Manchester Township Department of Public Works and the Ocean County Road Department. The Manchester Township Police Department expresses its gratitude to the members of the New Jersey State Police, New Jersey Department of Corrections and other motorists who stopped to assist with the extrication process. This crash is being investigated by Patrolman Ian Bole, Sergeant Antonio Ellis and Patrolman Thomas O’Hare with the Manchester Township Police Traffic Safety Unit.

MANCHESTER – Three students at Manchester Township High School pushed beyond their comfort zone and submitted work for the Belmar Art Council’s Youth Art Exhibit “Blue” at its opening reception on May 13. Freshman Sarah Donahue and seniors Dylan Cervenak and Nicole Smalley proudly represented the Hawk community amidst 50 other pieces of artwork from Monmouth and Ocean County students. Nicole Smalley took “Best in Show” at this prestigious event in the local fine arts community. MTHS art teachers Teena Spinelli and Ashley Gawlik could not be more proud of the dedication Nicole has shown within her fine arts courses and for her willingness to challenge her boundaries by submitting her work to multiple shows beyond school walls this year, including the Teen Arts Festival at Ocean County College and the Lakehurst Historical Society’s show at the Lakehurst Community Center. You can see Nicole’s piece “Eye See You,” as well as Dylan and Sarah’s work on display at the Belmar Arts Center, 608 River Boulevard in Belmar, until June 2.

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.
