Barnegat Bay Celebrated With 20th Annual Festival By Bob Vosseller ISLAN D HEIGHTS – For two decades, the natural resource of the Barnegat Bay has been celebrated. This year’s theme was “The Bounties of Our Watershed” and t hat t heme ca r r ied through with an abundance of water-based activities held June 4 along the borough’s bay front. Activities for the free eve nt , coord i n at e d by the Barnegat Bay Partnership, included a canoe eco-tour and hands-on children’s activities such as an aquatic touch tank. Attendees also had the chance to explore natural resources of the county’s estuary. Education was a key factor during the program that ran from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the borough’s Wanamaker Complex. Adults and

Ocean County Adds Terrorism To Hazard Plan

By Sara Grillo TOMS RIVER – As Ocean County gears up to renew its Multi-Jurisdictional All-Hazard Mitigation Plan in 2019, two kick-off meetings were held in Toms River and Manahawkin for local officials to learn about the process and provide feedback about specific hazards affecting their towns.

“This is an educational event but it is education made fun,” said Karen Walzer, public outreach coordinator for the Barnegat Bay Partnership.

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The long list of repairs, maintenance, upgrades and improvements needed for district schools far outweighs the money available to pay for them in the current or 2017-2018 school year budget, officials said. To help pay for the above, the Board of Education was expected to vote on spending $25,000 to hire professionals who would prepare a $12 million referendum for voters, but it was removed from the June 1 Board of Education agenda. “We are not looking to move forward with that right now,” said Board President John Lamela. “Maybe in the future, but we pulled it off the agenda. We’re going to take our time and we want to do more homework.” Lamela said they were

trying to “spread the wealth” and “get stuff done...voters might not pass a $12 million referendum,” despite the need to address safety issues such as “roofs that are collapsing.” During public comment, former Board of Education member Karyn Cusanelli asked which schools had collapsing roofs. “Parents get concer ned about safety when you said that. They hear ‘collapse’ and they think it’s a major safety issue,” she said. Lamela said that he had exaggerated the need for repairs on the roofs of Drum Point and Lanes Mill Elementary Schools, which had roof leaks. Board member and facilities chair John Barton said that water intrudes into the (BOE - See Page 5)

Brick Recreation Summer Programs Rolling Out

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – There’s still time to register for summer recreation programs, which include most of the past offerings, plus a few new ones, said Direc-

tor of Recreation Dan Santaniello. Even the always-soldout Junior Lifeguard Program has about 30 spots left, but it’s coming to the time where registration will stop for some of the pro-

grams so the department can prepare by setting agendas, ordering t-shirts and more, he said. There are four sessions of surf lessons (taught by Coastline Adventures Surf School) be-

ing offered for kids ages 10-16 and four sessions of co-ed adult surf lessons that begin in late June and run until the end of August. “Last year we had

Festival:

Continued From Page 1 agencies on the federal, state and municipal level whose goal is to protect the Barnegat Bay. Sixty environmental organizations par ticipated in the event. They provided information and showcased bay front activities such as hiking, birdi ng, k aya k i ng, sw i m m i ng, f ish i ng, c r a bbi ng, cla m m i ng, c a mpi ng a nd kite-f lying. Many organization exhibits focused on climate-ready programs and sustainability. “This gets bigger and bigger every year. Last year we had 3,000 people come out to this location. We’ve been holding the festival in Island Heights for the last 11 years. Before that it was held in different locations,” Walzer said. Walzer said this year’s theme also gave special focus on Ocean County far ms that utilize the watershed. Attendees saw where local foods are grown, which included many U-Pick operations and local seafood providers. “Our poster was developed by an artist and it is a rendition of each region of our local watershed. Last year we focused on the Pinelands area so that was our theme and this year we are looking to the western section such as New Egypt,” Walzer said. With that focus in mind many 4H clu b s we r e i nv it e d t o p a r t ic ip a t e. Young members of that organization

introduced the public to various farm animals, including alpacas that make their home in the watershed. The festival gave the organization Save Barnegat Bay an opportunity to showcase a map and literature pertaining to their project of identifying 840 crossings that connect to the Barnegat Bay. “It is a large watershed and it is nice for travelers crossing these areas to k now what r iver t hey a re goi ng over,” said Britta Wenzel, executive director of Save Barnegat Bay. A native plant sale proved popular and spotlighted a variety of native plants for a Jersey-Friendly yard. “We also have members of the NJ Farm Bureau providing a history of agriculture and aquaculture in the area,” Walzer said. New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Environmental Specialists Katelyn Brennen and Jennifer Lesniak showed off their f lood model. “The model shows how pollutants such as oils from cars, pesticides seep out to the ground and into our waterways and impact our fish and birds,” Brennen said. The DEP was also promoting its Watershed cleanup program that launched later in the week. Among the many sponsors of the festival were the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation. “The Barnegat Bay plays such an integral role in the tourism industry of Ocean and Monmouth counties. The Festival teaches us the importance of

the Barnegat Bay to the economic development of our community as well as how we can preserve and celebrate it. We are happy to support such a great cause that focuses on the continued health of the Barnegat Bay,” said Kelly Fillier, the Foundation’s director of communications. Kevin Smith, Toms River, brought his wife and two young children to the event. “This is the first time we’ve come to this. It looked like fun and the children are getting their first look at a horseshoe crab.” Regarding the health of the Barnegat Bay, Walzer said the feeling of area environmentalists is mixed. “We just celebrated t he 20 t h a n n iver sa r y of pump out boats which was a positive move and showed signs of bay qualities having improved.” “Non-point pollution is a tougher nut to crack. The overall pict ure of the bay’s health is positive. We just completed our f ive year review last year called the State of the Bay that looked at 17 environmental indicators. Some of the problem levels went down including the number of beach closures during the summer season. There is room for improvement but there is a lot of hope,” Walzer said.

“The American Littoral Society believes that we can bring the Bay back to health which is why we have implemented non-point source reduction green infrastr ucture projects on the land to reduce non-point source pollution before it runs off into the bay. Our demonstration projects show we can correct the over-development mistakes of the past with creating green jobs, another positive benefit,” said Helen Henderson of the Littoral Society. “At the same time, we are bringing back historic oyster populations in the bay which will have a tremendous impact on water quality. One adult oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day.” Attendees enjoyed pontoon boat rides on t he Tom s R ive r, mu sical e nt e rtainment by the ShoreSyde Duo, the Greater Pinelands Dulcimer Society, the Acoustic Musicians Guild, the Top Hats, and a special children’s performance by local entertainer Yosi. Children and adults also got to touch sea life in Jenkinson’s Aquarium touch tank, while those curious about raptors, reptiles and endangered species had the chance to learn more from representatives of the Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge. There were also 40 eco-friendly ar ts and crafts vendors

Programs:

Continued From Page 1 women’s surf lessons and men’s surf lessons, but this year they’re together,” said Santaniello from his office at the Civic Plaza. A Kid’s Boogie Boarding Camp for ages 6-9 is new this year. Boogie boarding, also called bodyboarding, is an introduction to riding ocean waves. The program is a 12-hour Monday through Thursday land- and water-based camp that includes equipment orientation, wave selection and riding techniques, ocean and beach safety, wave, weather and tide reports, and much more. Children must know how to swim, and all equipment is provided by Coastline Adventures Surf School. The Brick Barracuda Swim Team, which competes in the mid-Monmouth League, is forming for the summer. Last year there were about 90-95 participants, Santaniello said, and there is still

Barton said the Board has to set priorities and work with the money they have to make as many repairs as they can to ensure that “things won’t fall apart” in the future. Cusanelli said that one of the campaign promises of the four “Clean Slate” Board of Education candidates (they were sworn in on January 1, 2016) was to conduct an operational audit.

The Brick Times, June 10, 2017, Page 5 room for kids ages 5 through 14 who must be able to swim a lap without assistance. The camp is held in the evenings at Pine Grove Camp on Herbertsville Road. The program starts on June 26, but first there is a mandatory parent meeting on June 19 at the Recreation office. Once again Coastline Adventures Surf School is offering Paddleboard classes for every age group. The offerings are Stand-Up Paddleboard Classes, Fitness Paddleboard Class, both for ages 12 and over; Kids Stand-Up Paddleboarding Camp for kids ages 8-12, and Family and Me Stand-Up Paddleboard Classes for kids ages 5-11, who must be accompanied by an adult. All Paddleboard classes are held at Traders Cove Marina & Park. Tai Chi and Qi Gong Fusion on the Beach is new. The classes teach whole-body movement, breathing, meditation, improved balance, strength and flexibility and more. Session 1 begins on June 28 and Session 2 starts on August 2 and they are held at Brick Beach 3. For kids who prefer land-based activities,

Summer Camp for 4 to 13 year-olds is held at Windward Beach Park from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. and runs from June 26 until August 1. “We revamped Summer Camp, we have new ideas and a young staff who is eager to implement the new programs,” Santaniello said. “There are huge improvements with very little downtime.” For an extra fee, a day trip is available every day, and is filled on a first come, first served basis. Otherwise campers could remain at Windward Beach Park and stay busy with games, arts and crafts, organized sports and more under staff supervision. The Police Department Youth Camp is a six-day camp for kids ages 11-13. Selection for this popular camp is done through a lottery. The camp includes physical training, military etiquette, K-9 interaction, team building exercises, positive interaction with police officers, simulated police pursuit driving and more. The Police Camp Graduation Ceremony is held during the Annual Night Out Against

Crime celebration at Windward Beach Park. For more information about Police Camp call 732-262-1140. The Recreation Department has numerous other summer sports offerings, including outdoor basketball league, a new basketball camp, kickball, tennis lessons, field hockey, T-ball, softball, volleyball, a wrestling club, adult bocce leagues and much more. “The programs will definitely make your summer more enjoyable,” Santaniello said. “You won’t have a boring summer.” For more information or to register for any program, visit the Recreation Office at 270 Chambers Bridge Road, open from 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Their phone number is 732-262-1044. Online registration is available for most of the programs and events. Call 732-262-4622 to set up a family profile, username and password. Enrollment to any of the programs is limited to Brick Township residents.

“You’ve been board members for one and a half years. Is it still a priority?” she asked. Lamela said that when they looked at the cost of a school-wide operational audit they decided to conduct a variety of audits in-house, using some of the professionals already employed by the district. An operational audit was an unbudgeted expense, added interim superintendent Thomas Gialanella. Some of the audits that had been completed include a special education audit, an administrative audit, and a transportation audit. Gialanella said the special education audit dealt with staff development, and as a result

of the audit “there would be monetary savings from less litigation,” he said. The administrative audit resulted in improved communication and clear lines of responsibility that “weren’t around before,” he said. Cost savings were achieved through the transportation audit by implementing more efficient bus routes and more, Gialanella said. In other school news, it was announced that Board Attorney Nicholas Montenegro would be reviewing a subdivision for Laurelton Elementary School located at the intersection of Princeton Avenue and Route 88. “We would like to do something there,” said

Barton of the school that has been empty and unused since 2007. Before the meeting Gialanella said that there are no plans for the school and it is currently not for sale. “It’s not on the market, and I’m not sure if it will be subdivided. We need to explore our options and we need to discuss it with the Board,” he said. The lot includes the former school building and a district supply warehouse. The next regularly scheduled Board of Education meeting will be on Thursday July 13 at Brick High School at 7 p.m.

Brick Hosts A Summer Full Of Family Events From The Desk Of

The Mayor - by Mayor John Ducey BRICK — With Memorial Day weekend behind us already, it is time to start thinking about the summer months and what is going to be happening in Brick Township. This summer is going to be filled with sun, fun, music and fireworks. I’d like to take this opportunity to let you know what is going on in our town over the coming months. The highlight of summer in Brick Township is, of course, the SummerFest series. SummerFest 2017, presented by Pine Belt Motors, will feature concerts, fireworks, drive-in movies and more. The series starts on Thursday, July 6 with a

concert by Rubix Kube, the Galaxy’s Most Original 80s Tribute. Their concert last year was unforgettable. The band played the greatest hits of the 1980s complete with costume changes. If you didn’t catch last year’s concert, you’re not going to want to miss this. The concert series continues with performances by The Amish Outlaws (July 13), The Infernos (July 20) and the SummerFest debut of Garden State Radio (July 27). All concerts are free to attend and begin about 6:30 p.m. After each concert, there will be a spectacular fireworks show. There will also be a food court.

I would just like to remind anyone planning on attending the concerts that we do offer a free shuttle bus service to and from Windward Beach. There is very limited parking at the park. Shuttle buses run from 5 p.m. until the last bus at 8 p.m. from Brick Township High School, Drum Point Elementary School and Midstreams Elementary School. The bus drivers do an excellent job in getting everyone back to the schools in a timely manner. The SummerFest series will also feature the National Night Out Against Crime / Kids Day Celebration on Tuesday, Aug. 1, the Annual Car Show on Thursday, Aug. 3 and three Drive-In Movies including Zootopia on Friday, Aug. 11, Miracle on Friday Aug. 18 and The Secret Life of Pets on Friday, Aug. 25. All of these events take place at Windward Beach and are free to attend. The other thing synony-

mous with summer in Brick Township is the beach. Brick Township is home to three ocean beaches and our crews worked tirelessly to make sure there would be beaches to enjoy. Beach badges are on sale now for our ocean beaches and Windward Beach. Beach badges are $25 for the season until June 15. After that date, they are $30. Badges can be purchased in the Recreation Office or at Ocean Beaches 1 and 3 while they are staffed. As always, any resident aged 65 and over by September 1 of this year can receive a free daily admission wristband by showing ID at the beaches. On July 4, the Council and I are pleased to offer free beach admission to all veterans of our armed forces and their immediate families. This is in appreciation of you service and the sacrifices you and your families have made while protecting

the freedoms enjoyed by all Americans. Thank you and we hope to see you at the beach on Independence Day. A new tradition we started in 2015 is the Brick Farmers’ Market and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular things in the community. The market is open every Saturday at Windward Beach until September 23. This year, we have extended the hours and the market is now open from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Vendors offer an assortment of goods including fresh produce, fruits, pastries, ethnic delicacies, handmade items, plants, artisanal foods and more. We also have many opportunities to enjoy music and movies under the stars in more intimate settings than SummerFest. The Traders Cove Concert series will feature Bobby Byrne (Aug. 2), The Basso Brothers (Aug. 9) and Tim McLoone & The Shirleys present The Three

Kings (Aug. 16). These concerts are held at the picturesque Traders Cove and are free to attend. The concerts begin at 7 p.m. The Movies in the Park series will make stops at Lake Riviera Park (The Lego Movie - July 11), Arrowhead Park (Spiderman - July 18) and Angela Hibbard Park (Madagascar - July 25). The movies begin at dusk. Please bring your own chairs and/or blankets to these concerts and movies. These are some of the best things you can enjoy in Brick Township this summer. I would like to thank the Brick Township Recreation Department staff for the work they do all year long to make sure these events and our beaches and parks are ready for your enjoyment. Brick Township is a special community; I am grateful every day to call this community “home” and I hope you are too.

MacArthur Leads Letter Urging Funding For KC-46 Hangars

NEW JERSEY – Congressman MacArthur today urged Secretary of Defense James Mattis to include funding in

the fiscal 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 transition. MacArthur was joined by Rep-

resentatives Chris Smith, Frank LoBiondo and Donald Norcross in this request. “The placement of the KC46 tankers 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 Ba se McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst has an outstanding record of supporting crucial 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

From The Desk Of

Congressman Tom MacArthur 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 Joint 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 fleet should be a priority for the upcoming Defense Department funding and I appreciate the bipartisan effort of the New Jersey delegation in

advocating for its inclusion,” said Congressman Frank LoBiondo, a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee. “The next generation of air refueling tankers at New Jersey’s Joint 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.”

Middle School. The project, which was paid for through an ANJEC (Association of New Jersey Environmental Commission) Open Space Grant, included the installation of two informational signs on the grounds of Lake Riviera Park. The signs aim to educate the public on the environment of the Lake Riviera area and the impact humans can have on it.

WHEN LOWER EYELIDS TURN OUTWARD

An outwardly turned or sagging eyelid is known as an “ectropion,” which may develop due to age-related tissue relaxation. As the wet, conjunctival surface of the inner eyelid is left exposed and vulnerable, excessive tearing, a gritty feeling in the eye, crusting of the eyelid, mucus discharge, and inﬂammation of the eye can develop. Left untreated, ectropion can lead to corneal dryness and irritation, which may pave the way for eye infections, corneal abrasions, or corneal ulcers. While artiﬁcial tears can provide temporary relief, surgical treatment of age-related ectropion involves shortening and tightening the lower eyelid. This usually involves an incision at the outside corner of the eyelid and reattachment of the eyelid to underlying tissues and the upper eyelid. Ectropion can usually be diagnosed with a routine eye exam. Your doctor may pull on your eyelids during the exam or ask you to close your eyes forcefully. This helps him or her assess your eyelid’s muscle tone and tightness. To schedule an appointment, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., at 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

Nearly 400 Students Receive Bachelor’s Degrees From GCU –Photo courtesy Georgian Court University Georgian Court University’s Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony was held on May 25. LAKEWOOD – Georgian Court University President Joseph R. Marbach, Ph.D., opened the Georgian Court University Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony on May 25 by noting the importance of the Class of 2017. “Freshmen who entered in the fall of 2013 will forever be noted as the first fully coeducational class in The Court’s storied and illustrious history. With this graduating class, a coeducational student body becomes the norm,” he said. “The student experience has been changed forever.” Brianna Marrone ’17, Jackson, president of the Student Government Association Executive Board, delivered an address on behalf of students. She shared the three most important lessons she learned at GCU: To be present, to listen with the intent to understand, and to be there for someone. She spoke about the effect “being there” for her “nanny” when the older woman was sick. That experience defined her life, because it was in being there for someone else that she realized she wanted to apply to the GCU nursing program. Richard Rohr, globally recognized ecumenical teacher, author and founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, addressed students as well. In his speech, Father Rohr compared graduation to a rite of passage in our society, telling graduates that “you have just completed your survival dance.” But he urged them not to confuse that with their “sacred dance,” which he said, comes after they experience setbacks that will teach them their true path in life: “You have to go down to go up; even a bird must do this before it learns to fly.” Three hundred ninety-seven bachelor’s degrees were granted to the Class of 2017. These included August 2016, December 2016 and May 2017 graduates from the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Education, and the School of Business and Digital Media. President Marbach also presented two honorary degrees: a Doctor of BusinessAdministration degree to Deacon James J. Knipper ’15 and a Doctor of Ministry degree to Father Rohr.

Basketball player and business administration major Luka Zgonjanin ’17 of Serbia received two awards at the ceremony: the Academic Excellence Award for attaining the highest grade point average and the Julia Blake (Class of 1919)AlumniAward for outstanding loyalty and service, Business administration major Grace Talian ’17 of Bayville received the Kingdon Gould Jr. Award for contributing the most to the general welfare of Georgian Court in the opinion of her fellow students. Each graduate has their own story of their journey to the “survival dance” of graduation. For Chloe Grady and her mother, Susan Stavres Grady, the story includes comparisons and contrasts of having had the experience 35 years apart. Chloe Grady graduated with a degree in English and her teaching credentials exactly 35 years after her mother, Susan Stavres Grady ‘82, finished Georgian Court. “GCU gave Chloe the self-confidence and belief that she could do this,” her mother, a veteran art teacher, said. “She’s going into education, and I’m a little nervous about that, but she’s so well prepared— more prepared than I ever was.” The younger Grady, who had a successful internship at Lake Riviera Middle School, has applied for teaching jobs. “Looking back, I’ve gained a great respect for learning,” she said. “When I first got to college I felt like school was something I had to do. Now I have a true respect for what it takes to educate students. I really have a love for children,” she said. “They remind me why I wanted to be an educator.” Two faculty members received recognition at the ceremony. President Marbach conferred the title of professor emerita of sociology upon Kasturi “Rumu” DasGupta, Ph.D., and history professor Scott H. Bennett, Ph.D., was presented the Virginia Graham ’31 Award for Teaching Excellence. President Marbach’s final words of advice to the Class of 2017 were: “Always live the values of this Mercy university. Be a people of compassion and integrity who respect others, and live lives in service to the cause of justice.”

Ocean County Announces Five More Dates For Household Hazardous Waste Collection

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County will hold five more free household hazardous waste collection dates this year. “We are currently completing our first three collections of 2017 with the next scheduled for June 3 at the Manchester Township Public Works Garage, at 1360 Route 70,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management. “We have now put into place the summer/fall schedule which will run from July through October. “So far we have collected 121,576 pounds of household hazardous waste during our first two collections this year,” Little said. “This program provides benefits to not just our citizens but it also protects the environment.” The additional dates, times and locations for the 2017 disposal program are: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 15 at Little Egg Harbor Township Recycling Center, 1363 County Road 539 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on August 5 at the Jackson Township Municipal Building, 95 West Veterans Highway 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on August 27 at Lakewood Public Works Yard, 1 America Avenue 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on September 23, Long Beach Township Public Works Garage, 7910 Long Beach Boulevard, Beach Haven Crest 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on October 7, Point Pleasant Municipal Building, 2233 Bridge Avenue While the program is free, registration is required. To register for the Little Egg Harbor and Long Beach townships collection sites call 609-978-0913; for Lakewood call 732-506-5047 and for the Jackson Township and Point Pleasant collection sites call 732-367-0802. Last year, the County collected 290,602 pounds of household hazardous waste, up about 20,000 pounds, at a cost of $123,688. The program is funded in part by the State Recycling Enhancement Act Tax Fund. “This free program, which got started in 1989, provides an avenue to get rid of items like paints, paint thinner, and

cleaners, properly and safely, keeping the material from entering our waterways and our preserved lands,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “The Department of Solid Waste Management has done a great job in implementing this program for almost three decades.” The program runs at least once a month from April to October and is held at different collection sites throughout the County. Residents can register for any of the sites. “We work to make certain this program is accessible to our residents,” Little said. “It is held in towns, both large and small, and citizens in any Ocean County town can attend any site. Our residents can attend any location.” Municipal recycling centers and the county’s recycling centers also allow for drop off of a host of materials including used paint, motor oil and car batteries. “Our residents should check with us or their local recycling center to determine what is accepted year-round eliminating the need to store potentially hazardous items in their home,” Little said. Residents can drop off a maximum of 200 pounds of dry material and 20 gallons of liquid at the County’s household hazardous waste collection sites. No containers over five gallons will be accepted. Materials accepted at the household hazardous waste collection sites are: paints, thinners, boat paints, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, aerosol cans, auto products, toilet and drain cleaners, silver polishes, oven cleaners, photographic chemicals, rug and upholstery cleaners, polishes and bleaches, waste oil and used gasoline. The five summer/fall dates also will be serviced by Radiac Environmental Services at a cost of about 44 cents a pound. Program information also can be found on the county website at co.ocean.nj.us or by calling 1-800-55-RECYCLE. “We encourage our residents to use this free program to make certain chemicals, cleaners, solvents and other items we use around the house are disposed of properly,” Little said.

Falls are prevalent, dangerous and costly. Every year, one-third to one-half of the population age 65 and over experience falls. Falls are the leading cause of injury in older adults and the leading cause of death in those over age 85. Five percent of falls lead to a fracture. Falls can cause more than 200,000 hip fractures yearly. The cost of direct care for hip fracture patients alone is over $7 billion a year. Are falls a normal part of aging? No. Current research indicates that elderly falls are different than their healthy, agematched counterparts. Can you predict who will fall and who won’t? No, not with certainty. But it is possible to identify many of the individual risk factors that contribute to falls. Contrary to popular belief, aging is not necessarily the culprit of imbalance, though it can be a factor. At any age, certain diseases, impairments or medications can adversely affect our ability to control our balance and lead to falls. The

following are some of those: Diseases and impairments which may contribute to falls include dizziness, head injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, diabetes, visual deficits and muscular injuries. Medications can also affect our ability to control our balance. Blood pressure drugs, diuretics, anti-depressants, sedatives, tranquilizers and sleeping pills may contribute to your complaint of unsteadiness. Can people who fall, or are at risk of falling, be helped? The good news is yes. Many risk factors are quite amenable to rehabilitative treatment. The use of available sensory inputs can be enhanced, control of position and movement in space can be learned, limits of stability can be increased, ankle, hip and stepping strategies can be trained, range-of-motion, strength and endurance can be increased, etc. The risk factor that is reduced or eliminated reduces the risk for falls. Treatment plans should be based on individual problems identified by comprehensive evaluation.

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

Should The Government Control Your Latte? By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. It’s so sad, and breaks my heart that a 16-year-old boy died from an arrhythmia that occurred from ingesting too many caffeinated stimulants. According to the news, the lethal combination included a large Mountain Dew, a latte from McDonald’s and an energy drink, all within two hours. Just FYI, most energy shots contain guarana and ginseng or other stimulants. The tragedy has increased awareness for many families as well as regulatory agencies. Should health agencies regulate the amount of caffeine put into coffee and energy drinks, in the same manner that they do tobacco? They are even considering restrictions and a ban. I don’t want the Establishment having any say-so about the amount of caffeine in my caramel macchiato or Red Bull. It’s understood when I drink one of these or take a Vivarin, or whatever my choice is, that I’m going to feel a jolt. Last week, I tried pure Coffeeberry Fruit extract and consumed what amounted to at least 800mg all at once. My head buzzed for a few hours, and I was nauseous but I am used to caffeine, so I knew I would be okay. I think it’s horrible that certain companies have marketing campaigns aimed directly at children. I also think the manufacturers of these beverages should take some blame and they should stop increasing caffeine levels just to get a jump on their competitor and come up with their next marketing shtick. And there is some personal accountability just as there is with alcohol. When

you drink too much alcohol, there is a natural consequence of feeling sick and hungover. Perhaps the consequence is not so obvious with caffeine. One challenge that parents face is that cappuccinos, energy shots, Mountain Dew and others are all legal substances (and they should be) so abuse of them is uncomplicated due to easy access. How Do You Feel? 1. Is caffeine a strong and potentially dangerous stimulant or not? 2. Does caffeine impact certain people worse than another, such as children or the elderly, or those with vascular compromise (known or unknown). Would you like to share your opini o n ? Wr i t e m e a t s u z y c o h e n . c o m , as I’d love to know your thoughts. I have a pharmacist’s perspective so for me, #1 is “no” because pure caffeine doesn’t even come close to prescription ADHD stimulants such as methylphenidate or the famous combo drug, which consists of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. Amphetamine is known on the street as “speed” or “whizz.” These drugs are dispensed to children by the millions on a daily basis and suddenly a Monster’s a problem?! Or a Mocha Latte? Do you truly get what I’m saying here? The answer to #2 is “yes,” caffeine is metabolized more slowly by all the above groups and will raise blood pressure and cause arrhythmias more frequently. Have open conversations with your kids about this, because their peers are encouraging abuse of these drinks in order to increase alertness and ‘smartness’ before exams. It’s sad but true.

Plan:

Continued From Page 1 T he meet i ngs were r u n by Sa r a h Bowen of Michael Baker International, the engineering firm tasked with developing the county’s new hazard plan. The firm also assisted the county with its plan back in 2014. Bowen said they are off to an early start. The plan needs to be updated every five years, and Ocean County is on track to have theirs ready by 2018. Every county is required by law to have a hazard plan in place by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, which has been in effect since 1988. Hazard mitigation is simply an effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. A plan must be put place in order to access grants and reduce a town’s vulnerability in the event of a disaster. According to Bowen’s presentation, New Jersey has had a total of 37 major disaster declarations, and Ocean County alone has declared about half of that – 18. Bowen talked through some of the hazards that were considered for the 2014 Multi-Jurisdictional All-Hazard Mitigation Plan, but ultimately were not included. One of the hazards considered at that time was terrorism, which they felt was adequately addressed in the

The Brick Times, June 10, 2017, Page 19 county’s Homeland Security Strategic Plan. But because of a terrorist bombing at the Seaside Park Semper Five charity run in 2016, terrorism will now be included in the updated plan. Some ot he r h a z a rd s de e me d t o b e of minimal th reat to Ocean Count y communities in the 2014 plan included lightning strikes, landslides, f ishing failures, sin k holes, civil unrest and animal disease. Bowen said township officials shouldn’t expect too many other sur prises. “I don’t expect a lot of hazard changes; I think you’ll see a lot of new analysis.” Municipalities will be emailed a copy of their completed 2014 sur vey that asked them to identify which hazards were most significant to their communities. Bowen said they can either add to that survey and cross out old information, or start a new survey from scratch. She and her Michael Baker colleagues plan to sit in at least one municipal meeting in all 33 Ocean County towns this fall. They want to hear from not just mayors and councilmembers – but also planners, code enforcers, public works departments, f lood plan administrators and emergency personnel before putting a draft plan together for next spring. After that, towns will be able to comment and make suggestions on the plan before it’s turned into the state and FEMA for review.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

What’s In A Name?

Dear Joel, My 14-year-old daughter Lisa is a beautiful child in every way. She’s artistic, loves animals, and is very bright, but recently she announced to the family that she wants to be called “Lavender.” She says it truly expresses who she is. Next month her grandma and grandpa are paying us a visit. Should I tell her to lay off this Lavender thing, or do I prepare her grandparents in advance for this new name? Color Me Confused in Freehold Dear Confused, Oh those artists, they really do see things differently. I’m married to one myself. My wife has never changed her name, but I understand and respect the way she expresses her creativity. I think, as long as your daughter has no self-destructive habits, that you

le t he r b e Lavender. I wou ld t el l her grandparents what’s going on, but I would tell them to play dumb, so she can explain it to them, as I think she wants validation and to talk about what she’s feeling. I would also be sure to call her Lisa or Lisa Lavender from time to time. This way, if she wants to go back to her birth name, she won’t feel awkward doing so; you can just gradually transition back. The teenage years aren’t easy on anyone, and who knows, your daughter may be developing a future persona as an artist or designer.

The Orchards At Bartley Granted Advanced Standing By NJ Department Of Health

JACKSON – The Orchards at Bartley, located at 100 North County Line Road, has once again been awarded the distinction of Advanced Standing (AS) by the New Jersey Department of Health and Health Care Association of New Jersey (HCANJ), a voluntary program opened to all licensed assisted living residences and comprehensive personal care homes in New Jersey that have high-quality standards and meet compliance regulations. Facilities that receive Advanced Standing must comply with all applicable local, state and federal regulations, as well as submit quality data that reaches benchmarks established by a Peer Review panel. Once all regulations are satisfactorily met and the quality measures meet the established benchmarks, the Department of Health will make the final determination on Advanced Standing. The Advanced Standing Program representative reviewed the complete operation of The Orchards at Bartley, including building environment and safety along with the resident medical care, activities and dining services, and determined that all areas of the operations met the criteria set to achieve Advanced Standing. On May 11, the following areas were reviewed by the Advanced Standing Program representative: health care needs

assessed and provided; medications and treatments administered as ordered; meal service/diet requests provided; activity programs and specific programming for residents with cognitive issues; housekeeping services and kitchen sanitation; employee training and up-to-date licenses and certifications as required; medical record review for required care or services. “Families and Residents choose the Orchards because of the service of excellence that we provide through our high quality of care, and our genuine compassion for the people we care for every day,” said Lauren Kessler, Executive Director.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Michael Deem, Esq. and Robert Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea And Associates

In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices: you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured. The Standard Policy does provide medical expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your

losses. When you purchase the Michael J. Deem Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C.

Kinesio Taping and Physical Therapy By Sandra Macejak, PTA of the Whiting location

WHAT IS KINESIO TAPING?

allowing the body to react to the motion of the skin causing the correct response to the underlying impairment.

Taping for different reasons.

The Kinesio Taping method was developed in 1979, and has had a recent resurgence in popularity in the physical therapy world. Kinesio Tape is a form of therapeutic tape made up of elastic fibers and all organic materials, all of which are latex free. This means that even people with slightly sensitive skin can take advantage of the tape. It can be applied to almost any muscle, joint, ligament, or tendon for a therapeutic purpose. When applied, unlike other forms of therapeutic tape, you should not feel like there is anything there. Kinesio Tape allows for normal movement and the ability to complete activities that you would normally perform without causing any form of restriction or limiting range of motion. Kinesio Taping can have an effect on multiple systems of the body including the circulatory/ lymphatic system, the musculoskeletal system, the neural system, and the fascial system. How the tape is applied to certain target tissues throughout the body will determine the physiological effect and system that will be affected. WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM KINESIO TAPE? Some people may believe that Kinesio Taping is only used on young people or athletes however, that is a gross misconception. People of all ages and athletic abilities can benefit from Kinesio Taping. For example, many people have known someone who has gotten or is going to need a joint replacement at some point in their lives. With this recovery comes some discomfort and of course scarring and inflammation. These people could benefit from Kinesio Taping to help decrease some of the pain caused by increased inflammation, decrease the swelling that may build up around the knee and/or lower leg, and to help decrease scar appearance and increase scar mobility. So while athletes may require Kinesio Taping for ligament injuries or extra joint support for performance activities, all populations could avail from Kinesio

HOW CAN YOU BENEFIT FROM KINESIO TAPING IN PHYSICAL THERAPY? There is a very wide variety of diagnoses and ailments that are seen in physical therapy and though two people may have the same diagnosis, they may not necessary have the same treatment. Every person and body is different, so each person that comes in for physical therapy needs to get evaluated or assessed and have a treatment plan created speciﬁcally for them, including the correct application of Kinesio Tape. Kinesio Taping can be applied to decrease pain, muscle spasm or weakness, to promote lymphatic drainage to decrease swelling, increase scar mobility and joint stability, to correct ligaments or tendons, or to help correct joints that are not moving the way they are suppose to. In physical therapy, Kinesio Taping is considered a form of manual treatment. The therapist applies this tape to different muscles or target tissues to increase efﬁcacy of treatment while you are at home. For example, if you have targeted muscle weakness and are doing the exercises and working hands on with the physical therapist to address this issue to increase strength in those particular muscles, the Kinesio Tape can be applied to facilitate, or promote muscle contraction to these weak muscles for 3-5 days after your physical therapy session. This works because the tape creates a sensory stimulus

Just like facilitating the muscles, pain can be addressed as well. To decrease pain in targeted locations, Kinesio Taping very minimally lifts the skin with convolutions which increases blood and lymph flow through that area which then causes decreased pressure on the area of pain. This allows relief for up to the 3-5 days that the tape remains effective. This technique can be used on multiple locations on the body that cause you pain. So, If you are someone that has any diagnosis including but not limited to joint replacements, low to mid back or neck pain, plantar fasciitis, joint pain, increased swelling in specific locations, muscle spasms, muscle weakness or other upper or lower extremity injuries, Kinesio Tape may be beneficial for you. Here at All-Care, many therapists expertly utilize Kinesio Taping and can assess the right taping technique for you! SANDRA MACEJAK, PTA Sandra graduated with her Associates degree in Applied Science upon completion of the Physical Therapist Assistant Program, where she was the president of her class, at Mercer County Community College. She then obtained her license in 2015. Sandra completed three clinical affiliations, two of which were in outpatient facilities, one specializing in manual therapy and soft tissue mobilizations and the other in pre and post-surgical interventions, as well as a third affiliation in an inpatient rehabilitation setting. She has worked in an outpatient orthopedic setting for years before obtaining her license and is very passionate about helping her patients achieve their goals in therapy. Sandra strongly believes that with one on one patient care and an individualized treatment plan each patient can work to achieve those goals!

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 10 - June 16

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Creative energy is at a high point. The practical application of your imaginative ideas, however, could escape your notice in the early part of the week. Focus on fulfilling your dreams. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Tie your timing to the tides of progress. Remember that any low tide is always followed by a high tide. Hold off making key financial decisions in the first few days of the week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Let your business schemes simmer for a few days before putting them into action. The week might begin with a certain amount of confusion but you will quickly get a clear picture. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do less talking and more listening in the week ahead. Pay attention to trusted friends and advisors as you are likely to hear the truth. It is a good week for gathering knowledge and wisdom. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t pretend to be a wallflower if you meet some new friends. The more enthusiasm you show the more enjoyment you will experience this week. Problems at home may tax your ingenuity VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Details may be in the dark until the light dawns later in the week. Someone’s remarks could negatively influence your business sense. Wait a few days before making crucial decisions or taking action.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take another whack at the piñata despite a blindfold. You may be willing to take risks without the benefit of clear vision in the week ahead. There is something good waiting if you can find it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can be fierce about fulfilling your fantasies as this week unfolds. Hold off on making major business and financial decision until midweek when better opportunities may arise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can be matchless or merely mediocre. If something “works” there may still be room for improvement. Make sure all facets of a project are optimized in the week ahead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be inspired by powerful ideas in the week ahead. Bow to traditions and honor conventions in order to achieve your dreams. Don’t step out of line during the next few days. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may struggle to get to the bottom of a confusing financial problem. Once you discover the truth it will be easy to overcome. Get plenty of sleep in the week ahead to offset nervous energy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Disarray and unsightly appearances could undo the aura of harmony that you hope to achieve this week. Keep your affairs organized; make an extra effort to make a good impression.

Follow These Tips For The Perfect Steak

By Wolfgang Puck MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH WILD MUSHROOMS AND BACON Serves 8 to 12

8 tablespoons unsalted butter 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 4 cups (1 L) whole milk, heated almost to a boil Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper Freshly grated nutmeg 2 large egg yolks 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) packed freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1 cup (250 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 pound (500 g) dried macaroni 3 or 4 thick slices applewood-smoked bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch (6-mm) pieces 2 large shallots, finely chopped 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 12 to 16 ounces (375 to 500 g) wild mushrooms such as portobellos, chanterelles, shiitakes, creminis or oyster mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed, then cut or torn into 1/2-inch (12-mm) slices or pieces 3/4 cup (185 mL) freshly shredded mozzarella cheese 3/4 cup (185 mL) panko or other coarse dry breadcrumbs Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, make the cheese sauce: In a heavy large saucepan over high heat, melt 6 tablespoons of the

butter. Whisking continuously, sprinkle in the flour. Reduce the heat and continue whisking for 1 to 2 minutes, without browning. Still whisking continuously, gradually pour in the milk. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper and a hint of nutmeg. Briskly whisk in the egg yolks. Whisk in 1 cup (250 mL) of the cheddar. Simmer, whisking often, until thick enough to coat a spoon. Whisk in 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the Parmesan. Set aside and keep warm. Add the macaroni to the pot of boiling water and cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. Drain the pasta, rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking, and drain again. Set aside. In a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the bacon until it begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic; saute until the shallots are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until tender, about 6 minutes, adding a little water as necessary. Transfer the pasta to a large mixing bowl. Stir in the bacon-mushroom mixture. Stir in enough sauce to coat the pasta generously. Fold in the remaining Parmesan. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 F (230 C). Butter a 10-to-12-cup (2.5-to-3-l) baking dish. Spread the mixture in the dish. Top with the remaining cheddar, the mozzarella and the panko. Dot with the remaining butter. Bake until bubbling and golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
