By Chris Lundy LACEY – After rumors of the drama program’s closure at the Lacey Township High School spread over social media, school officials spoke out to assure people that this was not the case. Discussion over Facebook suggested that students were being dissuaded from signing up for the drama program, and that a teacher was being let go. Superintendent Craig Wigley said in a phone interview that this was not the case, and that no (Program - See Page 4)

A Special Presentation For A Grad
By Chris Lundy STAFFORD – A senior was presented a special gift during her graduation practice, school officials reported. Daniella Cote was presented with roses from two soldiers who were serving with
her father, who was not able to attend graduation due to being deployed. The soldiers made a brief speech to her when they presented the flowers: “Daniella, as you know your father Peter is currently deployed overseas with
the Air Force and was unable to be here to share this moment with you tonight. Tech Sgt. Dominic Francesco and Staff Sgt. Darrell Jackson serve with your father at the 177th Fighter Wing, New Jersey Air National Guard and your
father reached out to them to present these f lowers from him since he was unable to be here. He sends his love and wanted you to know he’ll be home soon, but until then misses you very much and is beyond proud of you.”
Airport:
EMS and fire departments. The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are now investigating the cause of that crash. But even before the two crashes, the airport has had a proposal in play with the Department of State to designate itself as a transportation node under the Coastal Area Facility Review Act (CAFRA), whose regulations currently prohibit any future expansion. The proposal argues that the Eagles Nest Airport helps support both the community and local businesses – even during times of crisis like Superstorm Sandy – and provides indirect economic support amounting to 17 million dollars annually to Eagleswood and surrounding areas. Its facilities are also used for emergency and training purposes by several government entities. According to the Eagles Nest Airport’s website, a 1,600-foot taxiway and run up pad was recently added, and another 1,000-foot taxiway was said to be built on the east end of a runway this spring. Many enhancements have been made over the last five years, including new hangars, runway lights and a beacon. The airport currently employs 70 people.
Eagles Nest Airport owner Peter Weidhorn said the airport does not have any current plans to expand. “It’s not about expansion of the airport, it’s about the CAFRA issues,” he said, adding that current regulations make it difficult for him to perform simple maintenance like repaving or adding new run up pads. He said it’s merely a matter of clean up between several state agencies – the Department of Transportation, the Department of Environmental Protection and the State Planning Commission. “It benefits the town locally because the property that’s part of this node includes the town property as well as the other commercial spaces alongside the airport,” said Weidhorn. A public hearing is scheduled for June 28 at 7 p.m. at the Eagleswood Township Municipal Building for residents to voice their comments and concerns on the creation of the transportation node. The meeting is between the New Jersey Department of Transportation and the Eagles Nest Airport, and Eagleswood Township is not involved. The township clerk has advised that no questions about the two plane crashes will be addressed.

A Cessna C206 plane went down around 10:55 p.m. in a wooded area just outside the Eagles Nest Airport as it was approaching a runway, according to a preliminary report released by the National Transportation Safety Board. The pilot had taken off about an hour earlier from Danbury Municipal Airport, but according to the report, started to experience mechanical difficulties when it came close to landing. The engine began to sputter and then stopped, and the propeller also quit. The pilot tried to restart the engine, but failed, ultimately landing in the trees about a quarter mile before the runway. The pilot suffered minor injuries, but was not taken to the hospital. State Troopers from the Tuckerton Station were part of the emergency personnel that responded, along with Berkeley Township Hazmat and other local

However, the drama program has had a smaller number of students recently, and enrollment dictates whether faculty are full time. The issue regarding this is a private personnel matter that has not even been decided yet, Wigley said. It got leaked onto Facebook anyway.

It is currently housed at the Joint Base, but county officials said they have no interest in continuing the lease when it expires. Freeholder Joseph Vicari said the 50,000-squarefoot 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.
The Southern Ocean Times, June 24, 2017, Page 5 According to a press release from Ocean County College, the remaining $8 million will come from a donation from the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation. The foundation is a private family philanthropic fund that supports a variety of healthcare, education, and artistic causes. “On behalf of Linda and myself and Jeremy and the entire Foundation, we are so proud to support this work,” said Jay Grunin, a co-founder of the foundation, in a release. “It is my audacious hope to create a major cultural hub in New Jersey with this cutting edge academy and the theater on the OCC campus.” The mission of the Performing Arts Academy is to provide an academically challenging education for creatively gifted high school students, according to the vo-tech. “The curriculum is rigorous and the students are expected to think critically and creatively,” said OCVTS Superintendent William Hoey. “This new academy will benefit both the high school and college students. We will 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 college property, students will have access to college courses and facilities, like the library 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 students are getting their credits and moving on to those. They haven’t seen problems with those students when they move on.

Congressman MacArthur Applauds EPA Grants For Barnegat Bay From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur
NEW JERSEY – The Environment Protection Agency announced that Ocean County College will receive a grant of $101,352 to implement the strategic plan for the Barnegat Bay Partnership. The partner-
ship works to improve water quality, protect the natural habitat and living resources, and support sustainable human uses of the Barnegat Bay estuary. “As an Ocean County resident and active boater, I’ve
seen firsthand the value that the bay provides to Ocean County and I understand the issues Barnegat Bay faces,” said Congressman MacArthur. “Since taking office, I’ve been a strong protector of the bay and have con-
sistently supported fully funding the National Estuaries Program, as well as reauthorizing the program. I’m thankful that the EPA has provided these grants that will help preserve the bay for future generations.”
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 professional 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 normally 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.

OPTIC NERVE INTERFERENCE
In effect, the optic nerve is a bundle of nerve fibers that transmits nerve impulses from the eye to the brain. When these impulses are impeded, it spells trouble for vision. It is a concern, therefore, when a condition known as “optic atrophy” develops. While this condition gives rise to symptoms including blurred vision, difficulty with peripheral (side) vision and color vision, and reduced acuity, it is not a disease. Instead, optic atrophy is a sign of a potentially more serious underlying condition such as glaucoma, a tumor, inflammation, stroke of the optic nerve, or a hereditary condition known as Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy. Treatment of these conditions begins with seeing the ophthalmologist when the symptoms mentioned above are experienced. A comprehensive eye exam can determine the cause of optic atrophy. This includes a complete medical history, assessment of visual acuity, color vision, side vision, and pupil reaction. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family.

–Photo courtesy Southern Ocean Medical Center Students at George J. Mitchell Elementary School in Little Egg Harbor coordinated a book drive to donate children’s books to the Martin Truex Jr. Pediatric Care Center. By Sara Grillo MANAHAWKIN – Students at the George J. Mitchell Elementary School in Little Egg Harbor decided to dedicate their yearly community service project to making a donation of children’s books to the Martin Truex Jr. Pediatric Care Center, located in the Emergency Department at Southern Ocean Medical Center. Every year, 4th, 5th and 6th grade Student Government members are faced with the difficult decision of choosing a project that benefits their community. After much brainstorming, and one student’s own personal experience in the Emergency Department at Southern Medical Center, they decided that giving away
their own story books and games might bring comfort and joy to children in need of care and their families. A book drive, which was appropriately named “A Book Opens Happiness,” was held at the school from April 17 to 28 and 14 boxes of all types of books were collected from students and staff and then donated to the hospital. The Martin Truex Jr. Pediatric Care Center at Southern Ocean Medical Center offers children a special, family-friendly area with six private rooms for families to comfort and console their children, as well as an overnight observation room for children needing overnight care.

Stafford Police Win Fittest Police Department In Annual Charity Challenge
–Photo courtesy Manchester Police Stafford Township Police earn the title of Fittest Police Department. By Sara Grillo WHITING – Stafford 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 hosted by Manchester Police and held at Harry Wright Lake in Whiting, where over $6,300 was raised for Ocean of Love to support Ocean County children with cancer. “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 made up of four officers each. One exercise even included dragging a cell door, as well as a 200-yard swim, dumbbell bear crawl and atlas stone throw. 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.”

SCOUTS DONATE RA IN BARRELS
By Sara Grillo LAKEWOOD – Girl Scout Jillian Peslak recently earned her Silver Award by donating 11 rain barrels she designed with fellow troops to the Ocean County Master Gardeners. The barrels, which are painted bright blue and carefully designed with flowers, butterflies, tomatoes, dragonflies, rainbows, caterpillars and suns, will be 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 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 dragonf ly 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 fi re 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 –Photo by Sara Grillo three pounds Girl Scout Jillian Peslak and several other troops designed rain of h e r b s i s barrels for the Ocean County Master Gardeners to use in their st i l l a huge community gardens. bag of herbs. “We love lakes and nature and frogs and What’s Next? Jillian graduated from Manchester Town- you name it,” said her mom Tasha. For her Gold Award, Jillian may explore ship Middle School on Tuesday and will attend the Marine Academy of Technology something a little more close to home, and Environmental Science in Stafford when it comes to sustainability issues with Township in the fall. Her family is excited Manchester’s three lakes – Harry Wright, to see what projects she will work on next. Pine and Lakehurst.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Warning Signs Of Hearing Loss 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. 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!

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.

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. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Inside The Law You Can’t Make This Stuff Up – Part II
Robert C. Shea Esq.
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!! The law firm of R.C.

Hoarding Rescue Leads To 17 Puppies At County Animal Facilities
MANAHAWKIN – More than 30 cats and dogs were recently rescued from a local hoarding situation, with all the animals ending up under the care of the Ocean County Animal Facilities in Manahawkin and Jackson. But it wasn’t long before that number kept on growing. Faster than you can say, “go fetch,” three of the impounded dogs were discovered to be pregnant and within days gave birth to 3 litters – for a total of 17 adorable puppies. “Our latest litter arrived late last week and I’m happy to report all the puppies and mothers are doing well and getting the best of care,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator added, “This is what happens in many of these hoarder cases, people start out with good intentions but things can get overwhelming real quick. When that happens the animal facilities typically become the only option.” Fortunately in this case all the dogs were in good health and many have already found good, loving homes. As for the puppies, most are still being weaned and won’t be ready for adoption for several more weeks. However, the two Ocean County Animal Facilities are always busy
this time of year and have no shortage of wonderful dogs to choose from. And for cat lovers, there is always a more than a bundle of adorable kittens available this time of year as well. “If you’ve been thinking about adopting a pet now is certainly a great time. All of our animals are spayed or neutered, micro chipped and receive age appropriate vaccines,” Little added. Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, liaison to the Office of Tourism and Business Development included, “Many of our visitors and vacationers to the Jersey Shore and Ocean County adopt from our animal facilities while they are here and we couldn’t be more pleased when they go back home and tell their friends they adopted from us.” If you’re interested in adopting a dog or cat, the Ocean County Animal Facilities are located at 615 Freemont Street in Jackson and 360 Haywood Road in Manahawkin. Both facilities are open to the public 7 days a week from 1 to 4 p.m. and until 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. For more information, please call 732-6578086 or 609-978-0127. You can also visit the Health Department website at ochd.org or follow the Health Department on Twitter @OCpublichealth or like us on Facebook.

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.

Fire Up The Grill To Make Mouth-Watering Baby Back Ribs By Wolfgang Puck BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS Serves 4 to 6 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar 4 tablespoons onion powder 4 tablespoons garlic powder 4 tablespoons dried thyme 4 tablespoons dried oregano 2 tablespoons mild paprika 2 tablespoons hot paprika 4 teaspoons cayenne 4 teaspoons ground coriander 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons freshly ground white pepper 2 tablespoons kosher salt 2 racks pork back ribs, membrane removed Extra-virgin oli To make the sweet-and-spicy rub, stir together the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. 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. Arrange them on the platter and serve,
