By Chris Lundy BRICK — Cleaning up the waterfront is one part of the problem, environmentalists said. The other part is cleaning up the areas that drain to the waterfront.

Former Councilmen And A Newcomer Face Ducey In Mayoral Race

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BR ICK — Voters will have four mayoral candidates to choose from on Election Day t h i s y e a r : Fo r m e r cou ncil ma n Dome nick Brando, who is the Brick Republican Club’s nominee, will face off against Democratic Mayor John G. Ducey, who is running for re-election.

Also r u n ning are two Independent candidates: former Brick councilman Anthony Matthews and newcomer Rob Canfield, who has never held public office. In phone interviews last week, the four candidates were asked “W hat is the message you’re trying to get out to voters?”

John G. Ducey, 47, is an attorney who is seek i ng his second four-year mayoral term.

He said he wants the opportunity to continue on the course he has set over the past three and a half years since he has been mayor.

“We want to continue to stabilize taxes and keep that trend going. In years before, there were large tax increases, but as a result of our debt reduction program, we are down $18 million in reducing debt over three and a

half years,” Ducey said.

“I don’t want to go back to the days of lavish spending of $22 million on a park,” he said, referring to Trader’s Cove Park & Marina.

Ducey said he wants to keep the police drug unit and special enforcement unit fully staffed. “I don’t want to go back to the days when they were disbanded because we didn’t have enough officers,” he said.

“We have new parks, the Farmer’s Market, recreation programs, a community garden, and we’re continuing to fill empty storefronts to make Brick a friendly place to open new businesses,” he said.

“We want to maintain the course that makes Brick a great place to live and to raise a family,” said Ducey.

Domenick Brando, 49, is a retired police officer who served as a Brick councilman from 2010 until 2013.

“In the coming weeks and months I’m going to be laying out plans for my vision for Brick Township,” he said.

He said Brick has gone downhill in terms of crime. “We have become weak and vulner(Race - See Page 6)

are allowed in the township under certain circumstances, which includes the pre-existing, age-restricted Laurelton Mobile Home Park.

At one time there were over 100 homes there, but now only about 36 are occupied as residents have either moved or died.

The occupied mobile homes would be allowed to remain onsite, but any of the homes affected by the development would be relocated from the front of the property towards the back, said Ron Aulenbach, Director of Engineering for Edgewood Properties.

“We may have to buy new trailers if they can’t be moved,” said Aulenbach. “That’s the position the owner has taken.”

He said the land, which is a little over 12 acres, is comprised of two parcels: the 9.2 acre mobile home park, purchased by JSM in 2005 from Phillip Baratta, and an adjacent 3-acre site, which was previously a doctor’s office and purchased in 2011.

Michael Gallagher from Maser Consulting is a Wawa consultant and expert in operations of Wawa. He said that some 400 to 700 cars would visit the convenience store and gas station a day, which he said “is not a tremendous amount of traffic.”

During public comment, Louis Beato of Lillian Street said he was concerned about runoff from the site. “It’s one big parking lot over there because of Walmart, and in that geographic area the property slopes down.

Clean-Up:

Continued From Page 1 Barnegat Bay watershed, including wooded areas that drain into the bay.

There were more than 100 clean-up sites in 33 municipalities, said Katie Ribsin, principal environmental specialist for the DEP, and co-chair of the Barnegat Bay Blitz. This goal was to reach the entire 660 square miles of the watershed.

To do this, the DEP partnered with 20 corporations and nonprofits, coordinated with the towns and the New Jersey Clean Communities Council. The “blitz” part is when approximately 5,000 volunteers descended on the area to pick up trash and recyclables.

She estimated that the group will have picked up close to 600 cubic yards of trash from the watershed. Over the course of eight years of blitzes, the total will be about 32,000 volunteers and 5,000 cubic yards.

Often, the groups include school children. “We get to educate them now” in how important the environment is, she

It’s going to create environmental problems once the project is completed,” he said.

Bradford Aller, an engineer specializing in drainage, explained that there would be an onsite pipe system that would lead to several infiltration basins, which takes runoff and allows it to go into the ground.

“We will satisfy all the DEP rules and requirements,” he said.

Another expert hired by JSM was Gary Dean, a consulting engineer who presented a traffic overview for the site.

He said that a traffic impact assessment was filed with NJ DOT in November 2013 and a supplemental assessment was filed in April 2016.

The developer would be required to widen Route 88 along the frontage of the commercial development for bypass or turning movements, and would have to make curbing, shoulder and drainage improvements there, Dean said.

“The most interesting element of Wawa is 85 percent of the people who use it are already driving past the site. They capture traffic that is already there,” he said. “Being at a corner is advantageous.”

Between 2013 and 2016 traffic has “stagnated” in that area of Route 88, or gone down a little bit, but it is estimated that between 180 and 220 vehicles could visit the site an hour, primarily to get gas at Wawa, he said.

The testimony for the JSM application would continue at the August 16 Board of Adjustment meeting, which will be at 7 p.m. in Town Hall.

said.

Brick was just one of many towns participating. Also included were Barnegat, Manchester, Howell, Jackson, and Berkeley. In Toms River, DEP Commissioner Scott Martin gave a short talk to the crowd before they began their work.

In Barnegat, a group met by the municipal dock on East Bay Avenue, an area that manages to have deer crossing signs near the dock.

Lauren Keltos was the captain of the clean-up for the DEP. She said that ordinarily, there would be a group of people on kayaks and canoes out in the water, cleaning areas that are otherwise inaccessible. However, the wind was so strong, and the air so cold, that it wouldn’t be safe to do so.

Instead, she split the 20 workers along two paths. She gave them instructions on how to sort what was being picked up (trash versus recyclables) and what not to pick up (medical waste, wildlife).

“We’re having a hard time finding trash,” she said hopefully. “The historic trash is gone. We’re picking up new stuff lately.”

CASA:

Continued From Page 1 decision.

“Between our advocates, our supervisors…if you met her, you wouldn’t even ask that question,” CASA executive director Ariane Yazdan said.

Barone added that Brenner leads with her heart while maintaining some dispassion, to care and get the job done. “She does everything with a smile. You can’t not be around her and not just want to hug her and be happy.”

Brenner started volunteering with children about 35 years ago when her own son grew up and moved away. She has worked almost exclusively with teenagers.

“I just like teenagers. And I was just going through, looking for a job in Ocean County, and up popped CASA volunteers. And it mentioned children and I said, ‘That’s where I’m going.’”

Brenner said a “CASA kid” has told her she changed his life.

“When I first met him, he was 16 years old.

He was a young man who had contemplated suicide. And in September he’s starting Ocean County College,” Brenner said. “I believe everybody should give back. Nobody is an ornament on the face of the earth here. Do something.”

CASA is always looking for volunteers.

“The CASA volunteer is the one and only person that stays with the child the entire time they’re in the system. We are their voice,” Yazdan said. CASA volunteers ensure children are getting all services they are entitled to, and that their needs are being met. “They

The Brick Times, June 17, 2017, Page 5 let them know they’re not alone, the most important thing.”

“It’s not instant gratification. Some volunteers come into it, or potential volunteers, thinking it’s like Big Brother Big Sister where you have instant gratification. This is a commitment. A volunteer’s gratification is usually at the end when some kind of resolution is brought about,” Barone said.

Vicari was honored for his work supporting CASA and youth in general.

“He’s done so much for the children and for the residents of Ocean County over the years,” CASA board president Heather

Barone said. “He was an educator, a superintendent of schools. He is somebody who does a lot with Ocean County library system. He really promotes Ocean County the way it should be promoted.”

“I’ve been an educator for 39 years, and I realize the importance of children. That’s one of the reasons why I went into education many years ago,” Vicari said. “One reason why I got involved in politics, especially being a county freeholder for 36 years, is we help protect our greatest natural resource in Ocean County, and that’s our children. One of the things I’ve been sensitive about is the

protection of children.

“One reason I’m involved [in CASA] and why it’s so important is, is it does more.

Children get into trouble. But it’s not forever. We pick them up, we help them out,” Vicari said. “A troubled child, if you don’t take care of them, will be a broken child, and they wind up eventually in our jails.”

He said children should never get that far.

That’s where CASA steps in.

“They speak for those who can’t speak for themselves,” the freeholder said.

I want to make Brick one of the safest cities in America again,” Brando said.

“I know [Ducey] is going to go after me about the tax increase, but I want to expose him sitting on a huge surplus that is well over $10 million. I’m going to give a huge part of the surplus back to the taxpayers and

give them relief,” he said.

“I want to get rid of the gimmicks he’s got going, the smoke screens for the people and the professionals he’s hired, giving patronage jobs to family and friends,” Brando said.

“I’m going to expose why that is.”

Brando said he believes the mayor “gave away” Trader’s Cove by agreeing to lease out a section for a proposed restaurant.

“And now with the Foodtown deal, the town will lose $7 million,” he said.

Anthony Matthews, 55, works in retail management and served as a Brick councilman from 2004 until 2011.

“I will be an elected official for the people, not for the party,” he said.

Matthews said he was an Independent from 1979 until 2002, but when he ran for office he was told it was better to run as part of a political party.

“At that time, in 2003, there was a Democratic mayor and six Democratic council

members, and I thought there were a lot of bad things going on, so I decided to run as a Republican,” he said.

He said he recently met with a mix of people who asked him to come back and run for mayor.

“They’re sick of Brick politics. They knew when I was there I did the right thing,” Matthews said. “I never hired my kids or my family members. I did the work of the people.”

Matthews said he has concerns about lead found in Brick’s drinking water, and why someone who was known to be a convicted felon was hired as the Executive Director of the Housing Authority.

“My decisions as mayor would be based solely on what is best for the taxpayers and residents of Brick, not for personal or party gain,” Matthews said.

Rob Canfield, 26, works as a patient care representative for a dental company in Toms River. He is also a volunteer minister in Tinton Falls, has a bachelor’s degree in pastoral ministry and is working towards a master’s degree in divinity.

“One thing that is driving me to run for mayor, the thrust of the campaign, is to help the people of Brick,” he said.

He said two of the main issues in the township are the drug problem and high taxes. He also said he wants government to be more open “so people know what’s going on.”

“People need to be more aware and have more of a voice in the operation of the town,” Canfield said.

As an example, he said he recently spoke to a resident who said that in addition to the council meetings there used to be workshop meetings where people could talk to the council and mayor about contracts coming up for a vote.

“Now it’s on the consent agenda for the vote without public opinion,” he said. “It’s not as open as it used to be. People ought to be able to give their input and ask more questions before the council meeting,” he said.

All four candidates said they would welcome the opportunity to debate each other.

Three council seats are also up for grabs in November: incumbent Democrats Heather deJong, Paul Mummolo, and Marianna Pontoriero are seeking reelection, and will face off against Republican candidates Marilyn Lago, John Ciocco, and Lois Turner.

The general election will be on Tuesday, November 7.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F eatured L etter Dredge The Nejecho Beach Lagoon Per Hurricane Sandy, the mouth of the Nejecho Beach lagoon in Brick shoaled up creating a hazard to navigation. In the fall of 2015, our boat hit bottom and spun into the nearby bulkhead causing a minor injury as well as property damage. Other incidents have followed.

Shoaling has only gotten worse, and many boats are now landlocked. While we are paying higher taxes consistent with property on a navigable waterway, it is now too dangerous to navigate.

We were informed that the mouths of the lagoons were under the auspices of the State of New Jersey (DEP, Coastal Management Office). I have sent multiple inquires and complaints to DEP Commissioner Bob Martin (on behalf of the Nejecho Beach Dredging Committee). However, he has not even had the courtesy to respond (cavalier behavior considering we are paying his salary).

We have likewise met with the mayor’s office, which agreed to have the lagoon surveyed, and their

survey confirmed that the lagoon mouth was in dire need of dredging.

Furthermore, the mayor’s office agreed to pay for a dredging permit from the state (at a cost of over $30K), but would not pay for the actual dredging. To make matters worse, multiple homes are in need of new bulkheads. In one case, this is causing the house to sink. However, the shoaling is preventing the contractors from getting their barges and equipment into the lagoon to do the work. Thus, this situation is likewise having a negative impact on local businesses.

The state has received a fortune in federal aid in conjunction with Sandy, but has done not absolutely nothing to rectify this situation. All levels of government (state, county, municipal) benefit from taxes, and all levels of government should be responsive to the taxpayers.

Perhaps they are waiting until these dangerous conditions result in a fatality?

Pinelands: No Profit From Development Credits The June 6, 2017 article (“Jackson Ordinance To Regulate Pinelands Payments”) that appeared on Micromedia.com contained several inaccuracies that warrant correction.

Contrary to the article, the New Jersey Pinelands Commission does not fund itself through Pinelands Development Credits (PDCs).

The Commission receives no money from the PDC Program, nor does it own, buy or sell PDCs. The Pinelands Development Credit (PDC) Program is a regional transfer of development rights program that preser ves important agricultural and ecological land. PDCs are allocated by the Commission to landowners in the Preser vation Area District, Special Agricultural Production Area and Agricultural Production Area, which are the sending areas. These credits can be purchased by property owners and developers who are interested in developing land in Pinelands Regional Growth Areas, which serve as the receiving areas. Typically, PDCs are used to increase residential densities in Regional Growth Areas.

The money that is gained from Regional Growth Areas is not used to purchase other lands for preservation. The money from the sale of PDCs goes directly to the seller, which in all

Letters To The EditorEach of us has the power cases is a landowner in the other Planet Fitness gyms Preservation Area District, Agricultural Production Area or Special Agricultural Production Area.

Currently, the average sales price for PDCs is $8,843 per development right. The price of PDCs is based on what the private market will bear. The Commission does not establish the selling price and is not involved in any of the sales transactions.

Developers do not pay the Pinelands Commission anything for PDCs. They pay the private owners of PDCs who have deed-restricted their properties and have credits to sell.

We found the managers excuse that the Planet Fitness home office set the stations completely inaccurate.

After checking, the home office stated the local franchisee made that decision.

“Bail Reform” In New Jersey Has Been A Complete Disaster Previously, those who could not afford to post bail on their own would hire a bail bondsman or ma ke bail t h roug h t he assistance of friends and family, who ensure the defendant would appear in court, as their money wa s r id i ng on it. Now law enforcement is overburdened and unable to locate such fugitives, because they have been released without any surety and there isn’t any bounty hunter looking for them.

Innocent people accused of com m it t i ng se r iou s crimes are now stuck behind bars awaiting trial.

In the past, they could have been released, even w it h a ve r y h ig h b a i l and conditions such as house arrest as possible cond it ion s. Now t he re is no chance of pre-trial release.

“Bail Refor m” was sold on the basis that it would get poor people who would come to court released f rom jail. But even previously, a judge had the option of waiving any cash bond, and releasing the defendant on their own recognizance or conditions like house arrest.

After reading, discussion and practice, the students competed on four teams, in front of their parents and classmates, to determine a winner. Each

team was asked questions about the books and received points for giving the correct title and author. It was a heated competition over two rounds. Teams worked together to determine the correct answer. Overall winners received trophies and second place finishers received ribbons.

BRICK – As high school seniors get ready for highly anticipated prom and graduation, they stopped to take part in a preventative program called “Project Crash.”

At Brick Township Memorial High School, members of the Brick Township Police Department, Brick Township Police Emergency Medical Service, the Ocean County Prosecutors Office, MONOC Paramedics, Herbertsville Fire Department and the Weatherhead and Young Funeral Home participated in “Project Crash.” Nina Rettino, the Student Assistance Coordinator,

organized the event with students and the above agencies.

The program helps high school students understand the potential horrors and dangers that occur when people drink and drive. The reenactment was of a tragic crash that occurred while students were travelling to an after party from the prom and the driver was under the influence of alcohol. The event also addressed the dangers of distracted/texting and driving. Brick Recycling donated the vehicles and Joe’s Service Center towed the vehicles to and from the event.

Point Pleasant Library Celebrates “A Century Of Dean Martin”

POINT PLEASANT – The life of singer, actor and comic Dean Martin will be celebrated at 11 a.m. on Friday, June 23 at the Point Pleasant Branch of the Ocean County Library, 834 Beaver Dam Road.

Dean Martin would have been 100 years old on June 7, 2017. He was one of the most popular and enduring American performers of the mid-20th century. Martin was nicknamed the “King of Cool” for his seemingly effortless charisma and self-assuredness.

In his one-man show, “That’s Amore: A

Century of Dean Martin,” entertainer Dave DeLuca imitates Martin’s relaxed, warbling crooning voice as he performs signature songs such as “Memories are Made of This,” “Everybody Loves Somebody,” “You’re Nobody Til Somebody Loves You,” “Volare,” and “That’s Amore.”

Attendees are asked to register for this adult program sponsored by the Friends of the Point Pleasant Borough Library by calling 732-295-1555 or visiting theoceancounty library.org.

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Walking Can Be A Real Balancing Act: Identifying And Managing Falls 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.

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!

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Quick, What’s Red, Salty, Chewy And Tastes Like Bacon?

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I’m actually talking about dulse (rhymes with pulse), which is a kind of seaweed, or technical-ly a form of algae that grows attached to rocks near the shore of the Northern Atlantic and Pa-cific oceans.

Its leaves are roughly the same shape as bacon, which is ironic because when you pan fry dulse, it actually tastes kind of like bacon… especially if you’re drunk!

Nah, I’m just kidding about being drunk, it really does taste a little bit like bacon.

Don’t roll your eyes at me, I’m totally serious.

Unlike bacon, dulse is a superfood.

The high content of minerals makes it particularly useful for the production of ‘thyroxine’ thyroid hormone.

Dulse comes in many forms, even powder. Think of that like you would salt, and just sprinkle it on soups, chicken, salads, popcorn and stir frys. It might also replace some of the salt in your food.

But my favorite way to eat it is pan-fried, which is when it comes close to tasting like bacon. I have a simple recipe posted there for a DLT (Dulse, Lettuce and Tomato) sandwich, and a comprehensive version of this article with precautions.

Sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen. com and I’ll email it. If you’re al-ready a subscriber, you will automatically receive your copy. Dulse has powerful antioxidant properties and can inhibit runaway cell proliferation, plus it provides the following nutrients plus several others not listed here: Carotenoids.

These are potent antioxidants, like alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lutein and

zeaxanthin, all of which are known to be good for healthy eyesight, reducing free radical damage, and decreasing the risk or dura-tion of chronic illness.

Iodine.

Iodine is essential for your thyroid to be able to produce enough thyroid hormone and iodine deficiency is very common.

But it’s not just for your thyroid, it’s needed in all your cells espe-cially your reproductive organs and immune function.

Iron.

This mineral is necessary to make a protein called hemoglobin, which acts like a tow truck and lugs oxygen all over your body. It supports the health of your blood, helping to prevent anemia. Iron is also vital to carry out dozens of life-sustaining chemical reactions throughout your body.

Potassium.

Potassium is a vasodilator and functions as an electrolyte to help balance sodium; this regulates fluid balance in your cells so it supports healthy blood pressure.

Potassium provides for an alka-line environment which counters common acidosis caused by a fast-food Western diet.

Vitamin A. This skin and vision-loving nutrient can also boost immunity by keeping your mucous mem-branes ‘wet’ and strong, meaning that they are empowered to filter particles and pathogens be-fore they enter your body.

Free Glutamate.

Dulse has a lot of glutamic acid, as does most shellfish and seaweed. It is not the same as the food additive MSG but it can sometimes behave that way in a small percentage of people.

Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Basics

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. and Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea and Associates

In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau.

In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered.

In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to 70 percent of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner.

Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury. This process progresses after your physician has returned you to gainful employment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you may be

entitled to total disability benefits.

Christopher R. Shea Esq. The questions often arises, “What happens if I am injured during the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Jersey.

Although, as a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury. Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment as if an employee.

In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee.

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.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Should The Customer Get The Last Laugh?

Dear Joel, I’m a waitress in a diner. I have a good customer who I enjoy serving, but every time he comes by, he tells one corny joke after another.

It’s nothing offensive, but I have to pretend to laugh and then once he’s on a roll, he continues his comedy routine for everyone else in earshot. I don’t want to hurt his feelings, or put the knock on the comedy show, but how can I tell him I need to get back to work?

Curtain Call in Toms River

Dear Curtain Call, That is no laughing matter. You’re in a business where you have to be welcoming but efficient. You have many customers to serve and he should respect that. I think I would give him a little clue that it’s time for the show to close. Say “just one more and I have to go back

to work.” Or give him a little round of applause when you’ve reached your limit.

If that doesn’t work, you’ll just have to tell him you wish he was appearing at a comedy club where you could sit and enjoy, but that this is your place of business. You might also suggest that he take his comedy show on the road. There are dozens of senior residences that would enjoy having a comedian put on a little performance. In the end, you have to worry about your living. He visits often because you’re a good audience. Maybe once he knows the show can only be five or ten jokes long, he’ll finish his lunch and take the show on the road.

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

Low Maintenance Landscaping Guide Available In Spanish

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Soil Conservation District (OSCSD) is pleased to announce that its publication “Low Maintenance Landscaping for the Barnegat Bay Watershed” (in its fifth printing) is now available for the first time in Spanish, in electronic format.

Gisselle Meza, a highly motivated student at Georgian Court University, dedicated over 200 hours translating the literature as part of her Service Learning course requirement. Efforts to coordinate the project were accomplished by Brick Township Municipal Utilities Authority (BTMUA). The

Low Maintenance Landscaping guide is a comprehensive, yet user-friendly booklet that offers an 8-step process to designing a low maintenance and environmentally friendly landscape appropriate for Ocean County’s sandy soils and unique conditions.

8 Simple Steps:

1. Proper Soil Preparation – Soil is the foundation of any landscape 2. Careful Plant Selection – Use native plants adapted to local conditions ( jerseyyards.org) 3. Reduced Lawn Size- A small lawn is easier and less expensive to maintain 4. Minimal Watering – Water lawns and gardens only when needed 5. Mulching – Conserve water, reduce weeds, add organic matter to your soil 6. Limited Fertilization - Get your soil tested; follow the New Jersey Fertilizer Law 7. Proper Pruning – Pruning keeps plants healthy 8. Environmentally Friendly Pest Control – Invite “good” bugs into your landscape By thoughtfully managing our landscapes, we can all become stewards of Barnegat Bay and our local environment. Our landscaping and lawn care choices have a direct impact on our water quality and quantity, and our enjoyment of the natural resources of the area.

If you would like more information on the resources of the Ocean County Soil Conservation District, please visit our website at soildistrict.org. To access the Spanish version of the Low Maintenance Landscaping guide, please visit: soildistrict.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/ Spanish-Translation-of-Low-Maintenance-Landscaping-Guide-2017.pdf.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of June 17 - June 23

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Cut to the chase. Be candid and honest as a means of achieving your own ends. Parlay information to your advantage in the week to come. Indecision could make a problem even worse.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Steer clear of touchy people in the week ahead.

You can hook up with a creative-minded person who makes the wheels turn much more smoothly. Look for opportunities to make money.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be in the mood to be shrewd. As this week unfolds you can use your business skills to upgrade your financial situation. Stay right on top of things by making executive decisions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Set reasonable goals. In the week ahead you may be challenged to honor financial commitments and promises to partners. Stay within the budget as you look for ways to grow investments.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Find a balance unless you actually own the palace. You may expect others to quickly obey your every wish and command. You may feel the need to take charge in the upcoming week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Hard work won’t hurt you. Exert some effort this week.

Keep in mind that you are working to achieve a valuable goal. There will be time to relax and enjoy free time when you reach it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can get ahead by using your charm in the week ahead, but don’t forget to work hard, too.

Your attention to the job at hand will have long lasting benefits and may give your career a boost.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When you possess drive and energy you can go somewhere. As this week unfolds focus on material success and sharing it with others.

Stay abreast of bills, obligations and responsibilities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): No man is an island. If you feel isolated you may be challenged by the perception you must do everything yourself. Put important projects into action in the first part of the week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): People don’t always say what they mean. Confusion is possible so nail down an important deal or have a heart-to-heart discussion with a loved one as soon as possible this week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Fuzzy thinking can foul you up. Adding up columns of numbers is not your forte right now. In the week ahead express yourself clearly and make an effort to clear up misunderstandings.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take pride in your passions. Some things will fall in place this week and by pushing yourself to the limits you can make a dream a reality.

A little effort can pay off in big ways.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen

Celebrate National Chocolate Ice Cream Day With A Classic Topping

By Wolfgang Puck CARAMEL SAUCE Makes about 1 cup (250 mL)

1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar 1/4 cup (60 mL) water 3/4 cup (185 mL) heavy cream 1 tablespoon unsalted butter Sprinkle the sugar over the bottom of a deep, heavy medium saucepan. Pour the water evenly over the sugar. Over medium-high heat, cook without stirring, tilting the pan gently once or twice to insure that all the sugar is dissolved, until the syrup begins to bubble, 2 to 3 minutes.

Cook at a vigorous boil, watching attentively, until the syrup just begins to turn golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Gently and carefully move the pan from side to side, without stirring, so the syrup continues to color evenly. Reduce the

heat to medium.

Watching diligently, continue to cook the syrup, reducing the heat slightly, until the color becomes a very dark amber and the syrup gives off slight wisps of smoke and smells almost burnt, 1 to 2 minutes longer.

Immediately and carefully pour in the cream to stop the cooking. The caramel will bubble up vigorously, so keep your hands clear but do not be alarmed.

Immediately reduce the heat to low.

Whisk the sauce to blend it evenly. Add the butter and simmer a minute or so longer, whisking until smooth.

Pour the caramel into a heatproof container. Use immediately or cover and store for up to several days in the refrigerator, where the sauce will thicken as it cools. Reheat gently in a double boiler, in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over very low heat, or in the microwave.

(Chef Wolfgang Puck’s TV series,“Wolfgang Puck’s Cooking Class,” airs Sundays on the Food Network. Also, his latest cookbook, “Wolfgang Puck Makes It Easy,” is now available in bookstores.
