Kid Collecting Comics For Soldiers
By Chris Lundy JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST – In a comic book, every issue has the hero challenged by an enemy and trying to rise above the challenge. They don’t just stop after one issue. So it is with Carl Scheckel. The 10-yearold has made it his mission to send his favorite form of literature - comic books - to soldiers overseas. He’s already been successful once, donating 3,000 books. Now, he’s trying to beat that record. “One of my readers on my website suggested I donate comics to people overseas and to vets in hospitals,” Carl said. Yes, he has a website. On CarlsComix.com, he talks about his favorite stories, reviews comics, and interviews

A few years ago, he went to comic book camp to make his own comic, called Heammer Head. Part of that project was to create business cards. He put CarlsComix down as

“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 star ted 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 th rough, 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,” Bren ner said. “I believe ever ybody 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 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

Free Singing Lessons Mark Oceanaire’s 60th Anniversary By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – There’s a lot of enjoyment to be had from singing – whether it is for yourself or for an audience. Why not learn from a group with six decades of experience? The Oceanaires are celebrating their 60th anniversary this year. In recognition of that, they are providing free singing lessons every Tuesday at the New Life Church in Toms River. Their style is uniquely American, in the form of barbershop harmony, which dates back to the late 19th century. You’ve probably seen them performing at local events. Even if you haven’t, you know what barbershop sounds like. It’s a cappella (which means without accompaniment), with four-part harmony. There’s a lead singer, a tenor, a baritone, and a bass. While the Oceanaires sing traditional songs and 1950s and 1960s classics like “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” and “Under the Boardwalk,” they also stretch their talent into other songs as well. Despite the classics that they perform, they have members of all ages, including a few in their 20s. The Oceanaires is the Ocean County chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, which is nationwide. The classes, called Ready, Set, Sing!, provide a series of lessons. One class might focus on voice fundamentals, another on harmony. However, anyone can attend any number that they wish. Any ability level is
welcome, from beginner to expert. “If someone likes to sing and carry a tune if they can sing Happy Birthday reasonably well – we can teach them how to sing,” says Joe Mack, of Long Beach Island, a retired advertising executive and longtime member of The Oceanaires. “It’s fun to sing. We take people at every level - from those who have only sung in the shower to people who have performed on stage. Give us six Tuesday evenings, and you’ll have all the skills you need.” The Oceanaires is more than just about the appreciation of the arts – it’s also about sharing that appreciation with others through performances. They appear frequently at a variety of venues, including nursing homes, hospitals, libraries, fundraisers, and other community events. “Our mission is to enrich lives through singing,” Mack said. “We try to sing songs that people know and like. Last year, we focused on Sinatra songs to celebrate his 100th birthday. This year, we are focusing on songs of Broadway.” Meetings are Tuesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. at the New Life Church, located at 700 Main Street in Toms River. To sign up for Ready, Set, Sing!, email lessons@oceanaires.com or call 732-503-8611. For further information about the group, visit oceanaires. com or Facebook.com/OceanairesNJ. You can also watch a video here: youtube.com/ watch?v=Ve16SQWgGyA.

The initial donation was at the end of February, said Jennifer Myers, who retired from the Air Force and now works with veterans affairs. The initial run of 500 comics were very well received by the hospital, she said. Then, another batch of 3,000 went to deployed personnel. At the base, they took in the donation and gave Carl and his family a tour. “Carl is a unique child,” said Master Sgt. Dominick Griego of the military and family support center. His department is in charge of taking in donations and organizing support services for active soldiers. “His actions are already making a difference,” he said. “It’s a taste of home.” Griego said he hopes that it goes viral

and others get involved. He’s been telling the service members on the receiving end that if they enjoyed the books, to let Carl know. “I’m calling it Operation Carl,” he said. While it certainly uplifted the spirits of others, it also had a positive effect on Carl. “It made me feel really helpful. People overseas and veterans didn’t get to read comics like I do,” he said. He mostly reads super hero books, and loves Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Superboy, Justice League, and Cyborg. “I’m really looking forward to the Justice League movie,” he added. Like the Justice League, he’s looking for a group of like-minded people to join in his quest. To donate books, reach out to him at Carl@carlscomix.com. The store East Side Mags, 7 S. Fullerton Ave., Montclair, NJ 07042 has agreed to be a drop-off location as well.

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.”

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? John O’Donnell Nejecho Beach Dredging Committee

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.

provided Fox News, so we were pretty surprised when our request to have Fox News at our local Planet Fitness in Jackson was denied. I’m personally tired of watching CNN while working out. 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. In fact we surveyed seven other local Planet Fitness locations in our area and all of them carry Fox News on their TVs. So what happened to our right of choice? Raymond Cattonar Jackson, NJ

“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.

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.

MERKEL CELL CARCINOMA
M
erkel cell carcinoma is also called neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. It tends to grow fast and to spread quickly to other parts of your body. SYMPTOMS
The first sign of Merkel cell carcinoma is a fastgrowing, painless red, blue or purple nodule on your skin, most commonly seen on the face, scalp or neck.
WHEN TO SEE A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER
If you notice a mole, freckle or bump that is changing in size, shape or color, growing rapidly, or bleeding easily after minor trauma, such as washing your skin or shaving, make an appointment with a dermatologist.
RISK FACTORS Factors that may increase risk of Merkel cell carcinoma include:
Beautiful Skin at Any Age Medical Dermatology (Pediatric & Adult): • Abnormal Moles Comprehensive Skin Cancer • Pre-cancer Growths • Skin Cancer Screenings Available - Call Today! • Pimples • Scars • Viral & Fungal Infections • Itchy Flaky Scalp/Face • Eczema • Cracked Lips & Dry Skin • Itching, Sunburns & Blisters • Diaper Rash & Allergic Reactions • Rosacea • Skin Tags • Benign Growths...and many others! Renata Flaks, DNP 707 Main Street • Toms River 732-244-2666 www.qualityderm.com Open Monday - Friday
QUALITY DERMATOLOGY Accepting Most Insurance Plans Accepting New Patients Same Day Emergency Appointments
• Excessive exposure to sun or tanning beds. • A weakened immune system including those with HIV infection, those taking drugs that suppress the immune response or those with chronic leukemia. • History of other skin cancers such as basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma. • Increasing age. This cancer is most common in people older than age 50, though it can occur at any age. • Light skin color. Merkel cell carcinoma usually arises in people who have light-colored skin.
COMPLICATIONS
Even with treatment, Merkel cell carcinoma commonly spreads (metastasizes) beyond the skin. Merkel cell carcinoma tends to travel first to nearby lymph nodes. Later it may spread to your brain, bones, liver or lungs, where it can interfere with the functioning of these organs. Cancer that has metastasized is more dicult to treat and can be fatal.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Two Ears Are Better Than One I was giving a seminar at Community Medical Center on hearing loss and I asked the question, “How many people are wearing hearing aids?” I was astonished that only 10 out of 100 people were wearing hearing aids and most were over the age of 70 years. I then asked the question, “How many people feel that they have hearing difficulty?” Answer: 70/100 or 70 percent. It is a fact that 60-70 percent of all seniors experience hearing difficulty, particularly in noisy group situations. Most of the folks that were wearing hearing aids at the seminar could not hear properly in groups and most were only wearing one hearing aid. Our hearing mechanism is bin-
aural; that is, we process speech through both ears and the brain interprets the information that it receives. Balanced hearing helps the brain interpret speech information, particularly if there is noise in the environment. Anybody with hearing loss in two ears should be wearing two hearing aids for “binaural balance.” If you have a loved one or friend wearing only one hearing aid, I can guarantee you he/she is not satisfied with the hearing instrument. In fact, the satisfaction rate is 20 percent higher with two hearing aids. Remember, we have two ears for a reason. You will always hear more naturally and clearly if you use them together.
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!
Manage Your High Blood Pressure To Add Five Years To Your Life Expectancy
NEW JERSEY – At age 50, total life expectancy is about five years longer for people with normal blood pressure than for people with hypertension, or high blood pressure. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association encourages everyone to know their blood pressure levels and reduce their numbers and risk, to help live healthier and stronger for an extra five summers, or more. “High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a disease and can have deadly health consequences if not treated,” asserts Dr. Perry Weinstock, member of the Southern NJ American Heart Association and American Stroke Association Regional Board of Directors and Chief of Cardiology at Cooper University Hospital. “It’s sometimes called ‘the silent killer’ because high blood pressure has no symptoms, so you may not be aware that it’s damaging your arteries, heart and other organs.” About 80 million U.S. adults have been diagnosed with high blood pressure. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association encourages everyone to check their blood pressure, which takes just a few minutes at your doctor’s office, at a blood pressure machine located at many local pharmacies or by using a home monitoring device. By knowing your numbers, gauging and
managing your risk for high blood pressure, you can help get those extra summers. The American Heart Association’s High Blood Pressure Health Risk Calculator helps gauge your risk of having a heart attack or stroke and developing heart failure and kidney disease. You’ll also learn how a few lifestyle changes can lower your blood pressure and your health risks, then print your risk report to discuss with your healthcare professional. It’s available online at heart.org/HBPRiskCalc. Science has identified several factors that can increase your risk of developing high blood pressure and thus your risk for heart attack, heart disease and stroke. Risks among certain groups is higher, including African Americans and women, who, starting at age 65, are more likely to have HBP than men. Note that high blood pressure can happen at any age– in fact, children can develop high blood pressure, too. Risk factors for developing high blood pressure, or hypertension, include family history, advanced age, gender-related risk patterns, sedentary lifestyle, poor diet/high-sodium diet, being overweight or obese and drinking too much alcohol. High blood pressure is just one condition that increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. Learn about other heart disease and stroke risk factors at heart.org/risk.

WHITING FOOT CARE
DR. B. MEYERBERG 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.

Businessman Joel Markel To Screen Film At Toms River Library
TOMS RIVER – What was the experience of Roman Jews living in Nazi occupied Rome? The public is invited to a free screening of the award-winning documentary film Oro Macht Frei (Gold Will Set You Free) on Thursday, June 29 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Library, 101 Washington Street. Oro Macht Frei won the Best International Documentary award out of 15 submissions
at the 2015 Garden State Film Festival. Joel Markel, founder and president of Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services in Eatontown and host of Preferred Company’s radio show on WOBM–AM, is the executive producer and founder of Ottimo Films, which created the 70-minute documentary that tells the story of the Roman Jewish experience during the Nazi occupation of Rome from September 1943 through June 1944.
The film seeks to create a personal reflection of the Holocaust in Italy by weaving testimony from Roman Jews who lived there with the historical research of Susan Zuccotti, Alexander Stille and Liliana Picciotto. “I made this film not only to tell of the Holocaust in Italy but as a way of eradicating hatred and bigotry throughout the world,” said Markel. “My wish would be for it to be shown in schools and institutions worldwide.
It is our responsibility as adults to point young minds to healthy and free directions in a world of peace.” Joel Markel, the son of a Hungarian Auschwitz survivor, wanted to honor the experience of his mother and the millions of victims of the Jewish genocide by contributing to the field of Holocaust memory. In 2004, during a tour of the Roman Ghetto, Markel first heard the story of Kappler’s Gold, an extortion plot perpetrated by Herbert Kappler, the head of the SS, who demanded 50 kilos of gold within 36 hours or 200 Jewish family heads would be deported. Markel immediately felt connected to this story because for generations his family had worked as jewelers.

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.
The questions often arises, “What happens Christopher R. Shea Esq. 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.

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
If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566. “Home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”

Manchester Couple Took FiveYear-Old Daughter On Drug Deal By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Four Manchester residents were recently ar rested on multiple drug charges after their vehicles were stopped by police because of suspicious activity. Two of those adults had their 5-year-old daughter in the car with them among 21 bags of heroin. On May 31, members of the Manchester Police Department’s Narcotics Enforcement Team noticed suspicious activity from two vehicles the Summit Park section of town. The vehicles were stopped separately, but it was discovered during the investigation that they were meeting up for a drug transaction. Joseph Alex Jr., 67, of Harrison Place, was in the first vehicle stopped and was found to be in possession of Oxycodone and drug paraphernalia. He also had an outstanding warrant and was taken into custody without incident. Priest Taylor, 36, and Diane Carle, 36, both of Housen Street, were in the second vehicle and had their 5-year-old daughter with them in the car. Priest
had four bags of heroin, a transdermal fentanyl patch and drug paraphernalia on him, while Carle was found with 17 bags of heroin and drug paraphernalia and also had outstanding warrants. The parents were arrested and the 5-yearold was left with a family member. The Division of Child Protection and Per manency was also notif ied for a referral. During the investigation, Narcotics off icers also identif ied a third, unrelated vehicle driven by 38-year-old Leander Harper of Housen Street to be in possession of marijuana. Harper and Tayler have been released on su m monses, but Alex and Carle were lodged in the Ocean County Jail because of their outstanding warrants. Members of the Manchester Township Department’s Patrol Bureau and K-9 Unit also assisted with the investigation. Residents can report drug tips to the Manchester Police anonymously at 732-657-6111 or via the Tip Line link at manchestertownshipolicenj.com.
New Book Documents Early Churches Of The Jersey Shore
A major study of the old and historic religious architecture of the Jersey Shore communities was recently released— Churchscapes of the Jersey Shore —which covers the 18th- and 19th-century churches, meetinghouses and synagogues of Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean and Monmouth Counties. The 423-page book is illustrated with more than 300 current photographs by author/photographer Frank L. Greenagel. In a series of two-page spreads, Greenagel calls attention to architectural elements, styles and often fascinating facts about the original congregation. He unearths evidence and explores the reasons why the buildings are located where they are and why they look the way they do. This comprehensive work is part architectural history and part social, cultural economic and liturgical analysis. More than 150 churches, three Quaker meetinghouses and two synagogues can be found in the Shore communities and in the Pine Barrens. More than half were erected by Methodist and Baptist cong regations and most are modest wooden-frame buildings, much like a rural schoolhouse. However, congregations largely made up of wealthy
families from Philadelphia sought architects from home who could build a church consistent with their standing in the community and f inancial resources. Their building committees or major benefactors allowed the architect more latitude to express or innovate with forms and materials, especially those that found favor in other wealthy enclaves. Dr. Greenagel is an established regional historian and photographer. He is the author of 17 books and articles on New Jersey’s old chu rches — not ably T he New Jersey Churchscape (Rutgers University Press, 2000), Steeple Envy (Mor ris, 2012), A Mighty Architectural Shout (Essex, 2012), A Plausible Expression of Piety (Hudson, 2014) and An Architectural Stew (Middlesex, 2016). He has photographed more than 1,450 old churches, meetinghouses and synagogues in New Jersey. Churchscapes of the Jersey Shore is an excellent resource for local libraries and historians because it provides a culturally-rich analysis of the past and how social and economic factors shaped and were in t u r n shaped by the religious architecture. The book is available at Amazon.com and will not be available in bookstores.

Lighthouse International Film Festival Closes The Curtain On Its 9th Year
By Sara Grillo LONG BEACH ISLAND – After four days, 85 films, 40 filmmakers, three parties, breakfasts and panels with filmmakers, five virtual reality shorts and unforgettable memories – the Lighthouse International Film Festival (LIFF) has finally closed the curtain on its 9th year in production. “I really feel like this edition of the lineup is kind of like the peak of the ideal of what we really want. We have local films that touch on global concerns, we have fantastic documentaries, we have international films, an incredible short film lineup and we’re bringing virtual reality,” said LIFF Executive Director Eric Johnson at the festival’s kick-off screening on Thursday, June 8. “We’re incredibly, incredibly excited for you to see all these movies.” The festival kicked off on Thursday night with a screening of a 90s throwback film King of Peking at the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts & Sciences. People showed up early for the premiere, as volunteers were forced to keep adding more rows of chairs in front of the projection screen. The movie, which was set in Beijing, China and had English subtitles, tells the story of a father who, desperate to both provide for and bond with his 10-year-old son, takes a job at a movie theatre and starts stealing movie reels in an effort to make money in the newly emerging DVD bootlegging business. “This is very much about a man who makes the wrong choice but makes it for the right reason,” said the film’s director Sam Voutas. Voutas, who is actually Australian but speaks fluent Mandarin, held a Q&A session after the screening, and said his inspiration for the movie was becoming a dad himself two and a half years ago, something that forever changed his life as he knew it. He said that often, you can tell a movie was
made to look like a different time period, but that he wanted King of Peking to feel like it could have been made in the 90s. LIFF workers and volunteers said the buzz was sizzling around a locally made film called The Oyster Farmers, directed by Corinne Gray Ruff and Angela Anderson, which is a documentary about Barnegat baymen and baywomen throughout the last four centuries. It also explores the growing sustainable seafood movement both locally and globally, at a time when 90 percent of seafood eaten in the U.S. is imported. Anderson and Ruff were also at the festival’s kick-off party back in May, when they found out only the night before that their movie had made it into the lineup. The two female filmmakers, along with filmmaker Brendan Walsh who helped edit the movie, also hosted a NJ Filmmaking Panel Friday morning to discuss why the Jersey Shore is the perfect place for moviemaking and movie inspiration. The Oyster Farmers was screened at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 10 at the LBI Foundation of the Arts & Sciences. Another local documentary creating buzz, and also a festival audience award winner, was Swim Team, which tells the tale of the Jersey Hammerheads, a competitive swim team made up of autistic teenagers. Director Lara Stolman follows three teammates in their journey to fit in and to find their independence both in and out of the pool. The film was screened at 8 p.m. on Saturday, June 10 at the Surf City Firehouse. The festival also featured eight blocks of shorts, where several short films were shown at once, and for the first time ever, a virtual reality experience that LIFF Managing Director Christine Rooney described as “absolutely an amazing experience.” This year’s Audience and Jury Award Winners were announced on Sunday,
June 11 during a 6 p.m. party at Joe Pop’s Shore Bar: Audience Award Winners: • Documentary: “Swim Team” (Lara Stolman) • Audience Award Short Film: “Break In” (Christopher Cox) • Spotlight: “Black Magic for White Boys” (Onur Tukel) • Narrative: “Our Father” (Meni Yaish) Jury Award Winners: • HS Student Film Jury Award: The Getaway Drivers (Graham Burrell) • Documentary Short Film Grand Jury Award: Refugee (Emily Moore and Joyce Chen)
• Special Jury Award Short Film: Fry Day (Laura Moss and Valerie Steinberg) • Narrative Short Film Grand Jury Award: • Do No Harm (Roseanne Liang) • Documentar y Feature Grand Jur y Award: Santoalla (Andrew Becker and Daniel Mehrer) • Narrative Feature Grand Jury Award: Our Father (Meni Yaish) Created in 2008 by a group of filmmakers, film critics and film industry professionals, the Lighthouse International Film Festival celebrates four days of features, shorts, documentaries and family films from around the world in honor of Long Beach Island’s historic Barnegat Lighthouse.

Mylar Balloons Pose Threat To Power Lines, Wildlife This Summer
OCEAN COUNTY – Mylar balloons, those metallic covered novelty decorations that come in a host of shapes and sizes, may be fine for parties or graduation celebrations, but they can be deadly to wildlife that thrive in Ocean County’s bays and other waterways. “We are getting more and more reports of deflated or shredded Mylar balloons found floating in the bay and in the ocean,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “Some wildlife can mistake the balloons for food and try to consume them.” While all balloons can pose a threat to fish, birds, reptiles and mammals, Vicari said the popularity of the Mylar balloons is adding to the problem. “People like them because of the bright colors and various designs. You can find a Mylar balloon to celebrate just about any occasion,” he said. Vicari asked that anyone using Mylar balloons keep them carefully tethered and do not let the helium-filled balloons escape. Afterwards, they should be disposed of properly in the trash. Loose balloons that rise high enough and are caught in the wind can travel for hundreds of miles. “Part of the problem we are seeing is the prevailing winds are bringing these balloons in from other states,” Vicari said. “Let’s set an example in Ocean County and not release balloons.” According to reports from across the nation,

Mylar balloons also pose another threat. “If these metallic-covered balloons strike power cables, they can cause widespread electrical outages,” he said. California utility companies reported that Mylar balloons were responsible for more than 1,900 outages in that state in 2015. “For everyone’s safety, please keep all balloons tethered,” he said. Vicari said he discussed the Mylar balloon problem with representatives from the state Department of Environmental Protection and local environmentalists at Wednesday’s Barnegat Bay Blitz at the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation Administrative Offices in Toms River. “We spoke of the importance of educating people about unseen dangers of these balloons,” he said. Vicari said plastics, including plastic bags and ringed six-pack can holders are also a growing problem in the bay. “We ask everyone to please properly dispose of their plastics so they don’t threaten our wildlife,” he said. Many supermarkets accept old plastic bags for recycling, Vicari added. “The bags are used to make composite plastic decking for boardwalks and backyard decks,” he said. “Park benches are also made from the material.”

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 Two Classic Toppings
By Wolfgang Puck June 7 was National Chocolate Ice Cream Day, or so the people who keep records of such days will tell you. And while there doesn’t seem to be any official explanation for why that particular frozen dessert should be assigned that particular day, it certainly makes sense that the holiday should come around this time of year. After all, summer is only days away. So why not celebrate America’s favorite ice cream flavor right now? One thing I won’t do here, however, is give you a chocolate ice cream recipe. After all, there are more people who don’t have home ice cream-making equipment to do that job. And besides, every supermarket today seems to have a wide variety of great, ready-to-eat chocolate ice creams for you to choose from. So go ahead and pick your own. What I would like to do, though, is help make the pleasure you get from eating chocolate ice cream even greater by sharing recipes for two easy ice cream sauces you can make easily at home: bittersweet chocolate sauce and caramel sauce. It always surprises me that chocolate lovers will buy chocolate sauce in jars or bottles when it’s so easy to make your own sauce at home in just minutes using ingredients that are probably better quality than those used in commercial brands. For the best flavor, be sure to start with good chocolate that contains 65 percent to 70 percent cacao, which you should see indicated on the labels of the many excellent brands sold in good supermarkets and specialty foods stores today. If you like, you can even flavor the sauce to your own tastes, like I do in the following recipe with touches of espresso coffee and cinnamon. One of the most popular trends in dessert toppings today is caramel sauce, a mixture of caramelized sugar, cream and a touch of butter. You’ll find it surprisingly easy to make at home too. Even though the recipe is simple, it is absolutely essential that you remain cautious at all times to avoid coming into contact with the hot sugar syrup. Be sure, also, to use a heavy saucepan so that the syrup will caramelize evenly. While both of these sauces can be prepared in a matter of minutes, they also can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator to be reheated gently just before serving. That leaves you free to add any other embellishments you might like - whipped cream, toasted nuts, rainbow sprinkles and even a cherry on top - to your chocolate ice cream. (Or any other flavor. I promise I won’t tell!) BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE SAUCE Makes about 3 cups (750 mL) 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream 10 ounces (300 g) good-quality bittersweet chocolate, 65 percent to 70 percent cacao,
chopped 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly brewed espresso coffee or very strong brewed coffee (optional) 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) Pour the cream into a large saucepan and bring just to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently and taking care not to let the cream boil over. Put the chocolate in a medium glass or stainless-steel bowl. If you’d like extra flavor, add the espresso or cinnamon, separately or together, to the bowl. Pour the boiling cream over the chocolate. Let stand so the hot cream softens the chocolate, about 1 minute. Whisk to blend the sauce, carefully scraping down the bowl sides occasionally. Taste and whisk in more cinnamon, if desired. Use the sauce immediately. Transfer any leftover sauce (or all of it if you don’t use right away) to a covered container and refrigerate for up to several days. Rewarm gently in a double boiler or in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over very low heat. 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.
