Community Donations Fund New Police K-9 Kennel

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Manchester Township Police K-9s Storm and Lynk now have a new home at police headquarters, thanks to donations made to the Police Foundation by local residents, businesses and community organizations.

A brand new K-9 kennel was delivered in early June and will offer the two police dogs a safe and comfortable space to rest their paws when their handlers Patrolman Marc Micciulla and Patrolman Steven Wendruff are carrying out

have no interest in continuing the lease when it expires. Freeholder Joseph Vicari said the 50,000-square-foot building would provide more room than the school currently has, allowing for more students.

The $26.7 million building will likely be built near or adjacent to the Fine Arts Building on campus. Construction is expected to be completed in 2019.

New Jersey will provide 40 percent of the construction cost, or $10.6 million.

The Ocean County Freeholders provided $8 million. OCC allocated $2 million to be used to pay down interest costs if necessary. However, Freeholder John Bartlett said the county would float the bond for the construction of the academy, leaving the college with no direct debt.

Ac c o r d i n g t o a press release f rom Ocean County College, the remaining $8 million will come from a donation from the Jay and Li nda Grunin Foundation.

Rain:

Continued From Page 1 used in the Master Gardeners’ community garden at Ocean County Park to collect rainwater. All food grown in the garden is donated to local food pantries.

“Last year, they raised and gleaned 15,000 pounds for the foodbanks,” said Master Gardener Mike Miller.

That includes a variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs, including ethno-centered vegetables like hot peppers that are grown to satisfy the rising Hispanic population.

“It really is a labor of love,” said Miller.

Why Rain Barrels?

Rain barrels are a way to trap and store recycled rainwater to use for maintaining a garden. According to the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County, about an inch of rain collected over a 1,000-square foot roof will yield 600 gallons of stored water.

Jillian, who lives in Manchester near Pine Lake, said the idea to create rain barrels came from her past experiences as a nature lover.

“When I was a Junior Naturalist at Cattus Island, every year they entered a rain barrel painting contest and then afterwards the rain barrels would be displayed outside at the nature center and they would actually be used, and that really got me thinking,” said Jillian.

The barrels she used for this project came from Ocean Spray Cranberries, which Jillian and her family picked up at a facility

The Manchester Times, June 24, 2017, Page 5 in Pennsylvania.

“Ocean Spray Cranberries uses them to hold their juices, but they don’t reuse them, so if you ask they’ll give them to you.”

One of the reasons they chose them is because they’re already food grade. She said they were blank barrels, but had stickers on them for what kind of juice was inside.

Most of the designs were pre-drawn on the barrels freehand by Jillian and other Girl Scouts who helped with the project.

“The dragonfly almost looks 3D on there,” said Miller, “We get a lot of dragonflies in here.”

Donation Day Jillian’s dad Peter unloaded the rain barrels from a pickup truck at the community garden in Ocean County Park, to a chorus of oohs and ahhs from her friend and fellow Girl Scout Alex Jacobs, sister Emily, brother Noah, mom Tasha and grandma Debbie Browning, who made the trip from Wisconsin for the occasion.

Miller and fellow Master Gardener Georgina Price gave the family a tour of the community garden, which was green and sprouting with crops like peas, garlic, beets, carrots, tomatoes, beans, peppers, radishes and blueberries, letting the group pick asparagus and snap peas right off the plants for a taste.

The Master Gardeners tend to the garden about three times a week, and then as the season grows on, bring it to local food pantries and donate it. They just got done harvesting their asparagus, which Miller said is very easy to grow once it gets started.

Herbs are another important crop in the garden, which grows basil, oregano and chives, and others. The amount of herbs has been increasing every year.

“They appreciate them a lot when we drop them off at the food banks because they don’t get herbs,” said Miller.

The ethno-centered vegetables have also been appreciated in the community. “In Lakewood there’s a huge Hispanic population and a lot of them go to the food banks,” said Miller, specifically to Catholic Charities, Mary’s Table in Point Pleasant and St. Anthony Claret Church across the street from Ocean County Park, which suffered a fire to its food pantry a few months ago.

“It’s literally feast or famine. You might come in here one Monday and have 50 or 60 pounds of ripe tomatoes and that goes

right out, and another day you may only be picking two or three pounds of herbs,” said Miller, adding that two or three pounds of herbs is still a huge bag of herbs.

What’s Next?

Jillian graduated from Manchester Township Middle School on Tuesday and will attend the Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science in Stafford Township in the fall. Her family is excited to see what projects she will work on next.

“We love lakes and nature and frogs and you name it,” said her mom Tasha.

For her Gold Award, Jillian may explore something a little more close to home, when it comes to sustainability issues with Manchester’s three lakes – Harry Wright, Pine and Lakehurst.

Continued From Page 1 into Cedar Glen Lakes. The main entrance into this 1,300-resident senior citizen community is at that intersection, just west of the intersection at Route 539.

The resolution states Route 70 is a twolane, heavily traveled road, with most Cedar Glen Lakes residents returning home via Route 70. There have been a number of rear-end collisions in both directions.

Donations made to the Police Foundation that benefit the K-9 Unit help cover the cost of equipment, care and maintenance, training for both the dogs and their handlers, and minimize the use of township resources.

The Manchester Times, June 24, 2017, Page 7 address the issue. In turn, the resolution passed at the most recent meeting will be forwarded to Gov. Chris Christie, the 9th, 10th, and 30th legislative districts, the New Jersey Department of Transportation and the Ocean County Freeholders.

Route 70 is a 60-mile main east-west road stretching from Wall Township in Monmouth County to Pennsauken Township in Camden County. Because it spans multiple towns and counties, it is a state road. Any improvements must be approved and completed by the state.

“Over the past few years there have been a number of accidents at the intersection

mind as they support local worthy causes.

The public support our K-9s continue to receive is very impressive and greatly appreciated,” said Lieutenant James Sharkey, who supervises the K-9 Unit.

The Manchester Township Police Foundation offers resources and funding for youth and community outreach programs, police charities, investment in advanced education and training and funding for specialized equipment and technology that help police officers perform their job to the best of their abilities.

of Route 70 and Roosevelt City Road in Whiting. Roosevelt City Road is the main entrance into Cedar Glen Lakes, one of our larger retirement communities in the western part of the town,” council president Sam Fusaro explained. “The majority of traffic entering County Glen Lakes comes from the east, heading west of 70 just past the 70/539 intersection.”

Route 70 in all of Manchester is a twolane highway.

“A number of residents waiting to make the left-hand tur n into County Glen Lakes have been rear ended as they waited for east bound traffic to pass. Some of

these cars were pushed into the oncoming traffic, worsening the magnitude of the collision,” Fusaro said.

He continued: “The trustees at County Glen Lakes contacted council informing us they have contacted state officials seeking a left turn lane be included at the intersection and asking if we would support the effort. Given the past events the council believes this improvement is clearly needed and passed the resolution to help achieve the needed improvement.”

Council members said they will keep the public appraised of the progress on this request to the state.

Capitol Comments

Senator Jim Holzapfel • Assemblyman Gregory McGuckin Assemblyman David Wolfe 10th Legislative District

Manchester Would Lose $177K Under Democrats’ Plan To Cut Local School Funding

NEW JERSEY – Senator Jim Holzapfel, Assemblyman Dave Wolfe and Assemblyman Greg McGuckin (all R-10) blasted a back-room deal negotiated by Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester) and Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto (D-Hudson) that would redirect millions of dollars of state education aid from

school districts like Toms River and Brick that are still struggling to recover from Superstorm Sandy.

“We have a property tax crisis that is about to explode as a result of this backroom deal negotiated in secret by Democrats who control the New Jersey Legislature,” said Holzapfel. “First, we were devastated by huge ratable

losses resulting from Superstorm Sandy, and now we’ll be devastated by massive cuts to our schools thanks to New Jersey Democrats.”

The Sweeney/Prieto plan would slash $3.3 million in state school aid to Toms River, cut $2.1 million to Brick and reduce Manchester’s aid by $177,000. Other local school districts, including

Lakehurst, Seaside Heights, Lavallette and Island Heights would lose funding as well.

Under the Democrats’ proposal, additional cuts would be enacted in each of the next several years to Toms River and Brick.

“Our schools will lose millions of dollars of funding this year, followed by additional cuts next year and

more the year after that,” said Wolfe. “As a long-time educator, it’s nauseating to see New Jersey Democrats gutting education funding and hurting our school children.”

McGuckin called the Democrats’ plan a slap in the face to Ocean County property taxpayers who are struggling to recover from Sandy.

“We have a natural disaster that’s being followed up with a political disaster that’s being foisted upon us by the Democratic leaders of the Senate and General Assembly,” McGuckin added.

“This is a slap in the face to our hardworking residents and communities still struggling to rebuild. Enough is enough.”

Freeholders: Leave Fourth Of July Fireworks To The Pros

OCEAN COUNTY – As Ocean County’s communities prepare for the traditional Fourth of July celebrations, fireworks are once again a hot topic for the upcoming holiday weekend that celebrates the founding of our nation.

However, to safely enjoy the noise and kaleidoscope of colors, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders reminds residents to leave the fireworks to the professionals.

“Do not travel out of state and buy fireworks,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari.

“Many types of fireworks look like toys and are marketed towards children, when they are anything but for kids.”

Possession of fireworks by anyone but a licensed pro-

fessional is a disorderly person’s offense, but possession with the intent to sell is a fourth-degree offense, with a possible maximum penalty of 18 months imprisonment and fines up to $10,000.

“Every year we hear reports about people being injured by illegal fireworks,” Vicari said. “There is no reason anyone should risk setting off illegal fireworks with so many professional shows scheduled around the county.”

A list of holiday fireworks shows is posted on the Ocean County Homepage at co.ocean.nj.us and the Ocean County Tourism website at www.oceancountytourism.com.

According to federal statistics, fireworks injure nearly 10,000 people every year throughout the United

States. The vast majority of those injuries occur during the two weeks leading up to and following July 4.

“We have seen reports across the country of people who have seriously injured themselves because the seemingly harmless firecracker they were holding suddenly exploded in their hand or near their face,” Vicari said.

With many towns in Ocean County hosting shows during the holiday weekend, Vicari warned that residents should leave their pets at home.

“Many dogs and other animals are terrified of the loud noises made by fireworks,” Vicari said.

The Humane Society of the United States has released guidelines on how to protect animals during the holiday

weekend: • Resist the urge to take your pet to fireworks displays.

• Do not leave your pet in the car. With only hot air to breathe inside a car, your pet can suffer serious health effects – even death – in a few short minutes. Partially opened windows do not provide sufficient air, but they do provide an opportunity for your pet to be stolen.

• Keep your pets inside at home in a sheltered, quiet area. Some animals can become destructive when frightened, so be sure that you have removed any items that your pet could destroy

or that would be harmful to your pet if chewed. Leave a television or radio playing at a normal volume to keep them company while you are attending Fourth of July picnics, parades, and other celebrations.

• If you know that your pet is seriously distressed by loud noises like thunder, consult with your veterinarian before July 4 for ways to help alleviate the fear and anxiety he or she will experience during fireworks displays.

• Never leave pets outside unattended, even in a fenced yard or on a chain. In their fear, pets who normal-

ly would not leave the yard may escape and become lost, or become entangled in their chain risking injury or death.

• Make sure your pets are wearing identification tags so that if they do become lost, they can be returned promptly. Animals found running at-large should be taken to the local animal shelter, where they will have the best chance of being reunited with their owners.

“By following these simple rules, we make sure the holiday is enjoyable for both our family and our pets,” Vicari said.

–Photo courtesy Manchester Police Manchester Police take part in the 3rd Annual Elite Law Enforcement Fitness Challenge at Harry Wright Lake.

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Manchester Police recently flexed their muscles and flipped tires, climbed ropes and fences, pushed cars, carried sandbags, rolled barrels and ran five miles as part of the 3rd Annual Elite Law Enforcement Fitness Challenge, where police departments from all over the state compete to win the title of Fittest Police Department.

The grueling physical exercise challenge was held earlier this month at Harry Wright Lake in Whiting, where Manchester Police raised over $6,300 for Ocean of Love to support Ocean County children with cancer, as well as for the Manchester Township Police Foundation.

“The officers that competed on Wednesday showed excellent perseverance, determination, and pushed their physical fitness abilities to their limits. Their respective departments should be proud of their accomplishment and sincere dedication to fitness,” said Manchester Police Chief Lisa Parker.

Taking home the coveted title of Fittest Police Department was Stafford Township Police, followed up by two teams from the West Windsor Police. Overall, 15 police teams competed in the challenge, which were

Manchester Police Detective David Fusaro and Patrolman Charles Gatnarek organized the Elite Law Enforcement Fitness Challenge, and look forward to continuing the event next year.

“This event gives officers the chance to push their physical abilities and mental toughness to the limit,” said Detective Fusaro. “It is an honor to help raise funds for these two great charities who support the communities we as officers strive to protect and serve.”

“Let Our Family Serve Your Family” FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED

JACKSON – “Graduation is the most special day at Regional Day,” said Principal Lisa Michallis. “It’s a time to reflect on the past and ponder the future as we honor each of our graduates.” It was indeed a very special day as Regional Day School at Jackson honored five graduating students on June 8.

Angela C., Garrett D., Brandon M., Paul S. and Denzel V. entered the school’s all-purpose room wearing caps and gowns in the colors of their home high schools (Lakewood, Manchester and Morris). Family, friends, staff and fellow students cheered them on.

The graduates received gifts from the Manchester Township Administrator’s Unit and the Manchester Township Education Association.

They also received numerous awards, including awards from school departments, varsity letters from their home schools and achievement awards.

Regional Day School students, accompanied

by Ms. Joyce Damen-Petit, provided musical

entertainment. The C-Pod Singers performed a medley of patriotic songs, following the flag salute led by Tyler M., Student Council Vice President. Soloist Denzel V. led the RDS Singers in a touching performance of the song Friends.

After the presentation of diplomas and the changing of the tassels, Ms. Michallis said goodbye to the graduates with this poem: Graduates, Congratulations on your, graduation! You clearly deserve, a restful vacation.

You’ve worked so hard, we are aware, About your education and future, we truly care. This is just the beginning, your future is bright, We know you will accomplish, the goals in your sight. Today, as we look at you, we are exceptionally proud, We are your supporters, we are your crowd. Happy graduation, it’s frozen in time. We admire and cheer at your memorable climb. On behalf of the RDS family, we want to wish you and your families the very best, Good health, happiness and knowledge forever, be a part of your quest.

You are not alone. Over 25 million Americans suffer from hearing loss. Hearing loss can be acquired through excessive noise exposure, stroke, head trauma, ototoxic drugs, surgery or aging.

Hearing loss can only be corrected approximately 10 percent of the time with medical intervention (i.e., surgery, medication).

In many cases, hearing loss can be overcome with properly fit hearing instruments.

Warning Signs of Hearing Loss 1. You hear, but you have trouble understanding all the words in a conversation.

2. People seem to mumble more frequently.

3. You often ask people to repeat themselves.

4. Your family complains that you turn the television up too

high.

5. You have trouble hearing on the telephone.

6. You have trouble hearing when your back is turned to the speaker.

7. You have been told that you speak too loudly.

8. You have difficulty understanding conversation when in a large group or crowd.

9. You experience ringing in your ears.

10. You no longer hear normal sounds, such as the dripping of a faucet or the ringing of a doorbell.

If you, or someone close to you, appear to have at least two of these warning signs, you should have your hearing tested by an audiologist. Don’t suffer in silence. Let us help you hear more out of life.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

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

How To Get More Energy Without Coffee

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. We all experience fatigue or low energy at some point in our lives. Sometimes it is temporary like after an all-nighter, or a bout with the flu. Whatever the cause, fatigue is difficult to deal with. Also, one common but overlooked reason for fatigue is a missed diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Today, I’ll share my secrets for natural and effective ways to improve energy without Starbucks (wink): B complex. A deficiency of the B vitamins harms your adrenal glands and is a frequent cause of fatigue and depression.

There’s even a synthetic B vitamin made in very high doses and sold by prescription for depression called Deplin. B Complex is profoundly useful to make neurotransmitters and generate ATP energy production via the Krebs cycle. You need B12 to support thyroid production and get rid of homocysteine.

Licorice Root. This ancient herbal adaptogen doesn’t care how you got fatigued, it only seeks to fix your exhausted adrenal glands by increasing your energy and endurance. Because licorice stimulates the production of cortisol, it also boosts thyroid hormone.

One cup of licorice root tea per day might be all you need. Using it for too long, or taking too much will induce headaches and hypertension.

Ashwagandha. Also known as Indian ginseng, this herb over a few weeks activates T4 to T3 thyroid conversion (good!) which improves energy and fat-burning capabilities. But ashwagandha should be taken at night -at least at first- because it causes drowsiness for

many people.

Tyrosine. Your body uses tyrosine, an amino acid, to make thyroid hormones which improve brain power and energy.

Tyrosine is in many popular energy drinks and thyroid supplements. Dosage varies greatly from person to person, so start with 75 to 100 mg once or twice during daytime hours or it can cause insomnia. You can always increase from there. You’ll know you get too much if you feel shaky or get a racy heartbeat (similar to excessive caffeine).

Oat straw (Avena sativa). Known best as an effective tonic for hemorrhoids, oat straw may gently support thyroid function which in turn provides energy and fat-burning compounds. It has a lot of natural calcium which helps your muscles and bones. In animals, oat straw triggered release of luteinizing hormone (LH) which increases testosterone and impacts ovulation.

Salads and Greens. Eating steamed or sautéed greens is perfect, and of course a salad a day! The green color of romaine lettuce, chard and collards comes from natural chlorophyll. There are also supplements and powdered drink formulas that contain seaweeds or cereal grasses which contain chlorophyll. This rapidly cleans your cells and creates energy.

Still want more energy? There are coffee alternatives such as teas (black or green), coffee berry fruit extract, yerba mate shots and guayusa (gwhy-you-sa) drinks and teas which all act similar to coffee in that they are stimulating, but milder.

These are nice because they have their own specific set of herbal health benefits.

OCC:

Continued From Page 4 be sharing the classroom space and can use the other amenities at the college.”

Students learn more than just the performing arts at the academy, according to Hoey. They take regular curriculum as well, and there are college preparatory, honors, and advanced placement classes offered.

Space was one concern that prompted the move, but not the only one. Security at the base has increased since OCVTS renovated Hangar 1 to house the Performing Arts Academy, he said.

“It’s more difficult to do things on a secure military base,” he said.

High School And College Students Together By having the high school on the col-

lege property, students will have access to college courses and facilities, like the librar y and student center, OCC College President Jon Larson said in a press release.

“Once they complete the academy curriculum, students will be awarded OCC’s associate degree and will be half way to a bachelor’s degree – all for a fraction of the tuition cost of a university degree,” Larson said.

In sharing locations and facilities, there would be high school students spending time with college students.

Hoey said that they don’t anticipate any issues. There has been a high tech high school on the campus of Brookdale Community College since 1991 without any issues regarding the two age groups mingling.

Students will have an option to pursue an Associate’s degree upon graduation.

This means that they would be starting a four-year college as a junior. Would they be emotionally mature enough at age 17 or 18 to be taking on junior-level courses and interacting with other juniors and seniors?

“It’s certainly a concern,” Hoey said.

He added that the vo-tech has connections with Rutgers University and other schools so that st udents are getting their credits and moving on to those.

They haven’t seen problems with those students when they move on.

“The Jay and Linda Gr unin Found a t io n i s d e d ic a t e d t o s u p p o r t i n g Ocean and Monmouth county-based initiatives that include the ar ts, huma n ser v ices, a nd educat ion. T he Foundation has in recent years made a considerable impact in the areas of health care and education. We see the u nt apped potent ial i n t he f i ne a nd performing arts here in Ocean County and know that Ocean County College is the perfect vehicle for unleashing that potential, specifically through our young people,” added Jeremy Gr unin, Foundation President.

Ocean County Health Department Beach Safety Tips

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

Each week the OCHD tests water samples from the county’s salt and freshwater swimming beaches. The water is tested for two types of bacteria – enterococcus and fecal coliform.

If the results come back with higher than acceptable levels, the water is immediately retested. After the second high reading, the beach is closed and tested daily until bacteria levels return to normal. “We can all help to keep our waterways and beaches clean by picking up after our pets and not throwing trash or cigarette butts onto the streets,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who is also liaison to the Office of Tourism and Business Development. “This waste eventually washes into lakes, rivers and the bay and contributes to our beach closings.”

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

Avoid swallowing water when swimming – natural waters may contain disease-causing organisms that can cause gastrointestinal

illness if swallowed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Manchester Township Educational Foundation Awards $19K In Scholarships

–Photo courtesy Manchester Township Educational Foundation The 14 students awarded MTEF Scholarship Awards for 2017 with MTEF members Rick Campana and Jim Gant.

MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township Educational Foundation (MTEF) was honored to present Scholarship Awards to 14 Manchester graduates at the Manchester Township High School’s Senior Awards Night on June 1, totaling $19,000. This brings the total amount of scholarship awards presented by MTEF to over $120,000 over the past nine years.

MTEF’s Scholarship Award program is administered by a Scholarship Committee.

Applications are screened anonymously, and finalists are selected after review of application packets and essays. Most awards are funded by local businesses, individuals and local organization sponsors.

The MTEF/Charles J. Hesse III Memorial Scholarship Award, an annual award of $2,500, renewable up to $10,000 by meeting select criteria, was awarded to Zach Kennedy.

The Hesse Family funds this award each year, and to date has funded $90,000 for Manchester students. Zach’s award was announced at Senior Awards Night, and Mr. N. Britt Raynor and Martin Ryan, spokesmen for the Hesse Family, presented the original check to Zachary during the MTEF’s Golf Outing Awards Dinner on June 5. Mr. Charles J. Hesse III was the president and owner of the Ocean County Landfill Corporation and other family-owned businesses. He is fondly remembered as a driving force behind the construction of the Manchester Little League Complex and longtime supporter of local children’s charities.

The MTEF/Dr. William DeFeo Scholarship Award was presented on behalf of Manchester’s former Schools Superintendent. Dr. DeFeo was instrumental in creating the Educational Foundation in 2006, and in recognition

of MTEF’s 10th year, the Scholarship Award was put in place last year to honor the MTEF founder. The 2017 MTEF/Dr. William DeFeo scholarship was awarded to Christina Batista.

The MTEF/Nicole Denise Romanelli Memorial Scholarship was presented to a female student pursuing a degree in the medical field.

Ms. Romanelli was a graduate of Manchester Township High School, and was involved in numerous clubs and sports throughout her years in Manchester. Nicole’s family sponsors this award in her memory. This year’s award was presented to Brooke Leiser.

The MTEF/Senior Citizens Club of Crestwood IV’s four awards were presented to Ed Hudak, Kalynn Hanily, Diane Lacuarta and Joseph Felipe. The MTEF/Lakehurst-Manchester Lions Club Award was presented to Kaitlyn Eletto. The MTEF/WWII Veteran Walter A. Moderack Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Sierra Snead, a four year member of the NJ ROTC. The Vietnam Veteran Walter B. Moderack Memorial Scholarship was awarded to John Davern. The MTEF/River Pointe Community Men’s Club provided awards to Olusola Fakinlede and Nick Pellicano. The River Pointe Women’s Club provided awards to Kaylee Shepard and John Dolan.

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 fi rst 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 732367-0802.

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.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Sunshine State

Dear Joel, I’m sure there are a lot of people out there who feel the same way I feel do.

I was born and raised in New Jersey.

About seven years ago my parents moved to Florida. At fi rst it was wonderful. They loved their new lifestyle and I loved going for visits, but this last year or so, things are changing. Many of their friends are ill or have died and they’re getting older too. I feel so guilty about not spending more time with them, especially since they seem to be needing more help all the time. I feel like I’m letting them down by not being there more, and I worry about them all the time.

Bert, NJ Dear Sunshine, If you started a support group for guilty adult children with parents in Florida, you’d probably have to hold the meetings in an arena. There are many people in this group, including me and my own mother. This is a very big transition in all

your lives, and it brings with it practically every emotion. I visit multiple times a year, and even though I have done everything I can to keep her safe and happy, I, like you, worry about her all the time. Let’s start by remembering a few things. They were the ones who decided to make that move and hopefully they considered what impact that distance might have on them.

Second, technology and travel have made this living condition much easier. Third, the role of the parent is to raise fine adults, as they have with you. I’m sure they understand you have a life too, and that you are doing everything you can. Finally, you must give yourself the credit you deserve for being a loving child. Many parents are not so lucky.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law You Can’t Make This Stuff Up – Part II

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Providing Home Care Services in NJ and PA for Over 20 Years.

PreferredCares.com

By Robert C. Shea and Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea and Associates

Usually, this column is reserved for serious articles regarding the law. However, this week I thought we would post an article about the more humorous side of the law. Every attorney has their share of “war stories” most so strange that “you can’t make this stuff up.”

Here is one of my favorites.

“But the judgments are not against me!”

In New Jersey, any judgment automatically becomes a lien against real property. Accordingly, in every real estate transaction, a judgment search is done to make sure that the buyer and seller have no judgments against them that would become liens on the title to the property.

I was representing an older couple buying a house in an adult community and financing the purchase with a mortgage from a local bank. As part of the closing process, the bank required a title search which included a judgment search. When the title search came back it showed several judgments against a person with the same name as the husband. The total amount of the judgments was relatively small, less than $2,500. A quick review showed that they were not against my client but against another person with the same name. I sent the judgment search to the buyer and asked him to confirm that the judgments were not against him. He then called me very upset that someone with the same name as him had these judgments. He was afraid that people would think that the judgments were against him and think that he was a deadbeat. I verified with him that none of the judgments were against him. Because the judgments were not against him, I told him that they would not affect our closing and that he should not worry about them. He seemed to take my advice and dropped the subject…for the time being.

At the closing he again expressed concern about Marc S. Galella Esq. the judgments and what other people would think if they saw them. I again explained that the judgments were not against him and that they should not affect him and he should not worry about them. Again he seemed satisfied with what I told him and I thought the subject was over…or so I thought.

About four weeks after the closing I received call from his wife. She told me that her husband was so upset over the judgments that he could not sleep or eat since the closing. What could I do? I asked to speak to him. When he got on the phone I once again (for the third time) told him that the judgments were not his and he should not worry about them. However, if he was that concerned, he could always pay them off and make them go away. His response was “But the judgments are not against me!” I said he was right and he should not be concerned about them. I guess this time he got the message because he never called me about the judgments again.

You can’t make this stuff up!!

Parents Should Check Megan’s Law Website For Sex Offenders Before Summer Begins

OCEAN COUNTY – The end of the school year is a good time to check the state’s Megan’s Law website for updates on any convicted sex offenders that may be living nearby, Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said.

“Children are home from school and will be spending more time playing outdoors and in their neighborhoods,” Vicari said. “The Megan’s Law website has up-to-date information on sex offenders living in Ocean County and in

the entire state.”

Towns, counties, zip codes and even individual streets can be easily reviewed.

More advanced checks allow users to input the names of convicted sex offenders or check only newer records.

“This only takes a few minutes and can make a big difference in keeping a child safe,” Vicari said.

While periodically checking the Megan’s Law database is a good idea, Vicari said the effort should become an annual start-of-the summer habit.

The database can be accessed through a link on the Ocean County Government Homepage at www.co.ocean.nj.us. The page can also be accessed directly at njsp.org/sex-offender-registry.

Vicari also recommends that parents check the website prior to trick-or-treat night at Halloween.

Megan’s Law is named after sevenyear-old Megan Kanka of Hamilton who was raped and killed by a convicted sex offender living nearby.

New Jersey was the first state to pass the law, which later became a model for federal legislation.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 24 - July 1

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Irritating situations can cause you to lose your temper in the week ahead. Remember that an oyster creates pearls from irritations. You, too, can create something of value if you simply clam up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your good taste is at a peak during the first few days of the week. Buy apparel and decorative household items as soon as possible. It is not a good idea to sign contracts or make business deals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Cover up the controversial. A wise man puts a chair over the hole in the carpet before guests arrive. Don’t bring your faults or obvious shortcomings to anyone’s attention in the week ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be challenged to exercise patience in the week to come. You may be ready to spring to action at the slightest provocation. Keep a cool head and avoid taking unnecessary risks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Opposites might attract but find it difficult to coordinate. You may find that your trust is misplaced because someone proves to be somewhat impulsive.

Focus on being careful and shrewd with money.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Share the wealth. Be hospitable and lay out a big spread for visitors as well as family members. Your willingness to be generous and tolerant might win new friends in the week to come.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may appear warm and witty, but someone may question if you are wise. As this week unfolds use your charm and thoughtfulness in the workplace. Avoid jumping to conclusions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Pushing and shoving won’t get you any loving. It may be difficult to keep your finances as well as your love life on an even keel. In the week ahead avoid being too aggressive or competitive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): An arrow is shot by pulling it backwards. If you feel you are going backwards in the week ahead remember that the next step is to move forwards. Take aim at the best target possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sometimes you must lose the battle to win the war.

Your fighting instincts may be aroused as this week unfolds. It isn’t necessary to address every challenge to your authority.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pretty things may attract your eye, but might not fit your hand. In the early part of the week you may be drawn to people and things that don’t quite meet your needs. Sidestep a broken heart.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Focus on making your future as fulfilling as your fantasies. Hurt feelings may result if someone doubts you in the week ahead. The best way to earn someone’s trust is to trust them.

Place the racks of ribs in 1 or 2 baking pans large enough to hold them in a single layer. With clean hands, sprinkle them evenly on both sides with 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the rub mixture, rubbing it in well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight.

(Reserve the remaining rub mixture for another use, storing it in an airtight container at room temperature.)

Before grilling the ribs, make the sweet-and-spicy dipping sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the vinegar, honey, jalapeno and oregano. Season the sauce to taste with salt, and whisk well. Cover and reserve in the refrigerator.

Prepare a fire in a gas or charcoal grill. Meanwhile, remove the ribs from the refrigerator.

When the fire is very hot, turn off one side of the burners for a gas grill or carefully push the coals to one side for a charcoal grill. Lightly brush the ribs on both sides with the olive oil and place racks side by side, fattier side down, on the cooler side of the grill not directly above the fire or coals; close the lid of the grill or cover the ribs with a large inverted metal baking pan.

Cook the ribs until their undersides are browned, about 20 minutes. Using long grilling tongs, turn the ribs over. Cover and continue to cook until the bones wiggle easily when twisted with the tongs, about 1 1/2 hours, turning the racks over every 20 minutes or so. Meanwhile, remove the dipping sauce from the refrigerator and let it to come to room temperature.

When the ribs are done, remove them from the grill to a cutting board, cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and leave them to rest for 10 minutes. With a large, sharp knife, cut the ribs between the bones.
