Jersey Shore Farmers’ Markets Going Beyond The Blueberries

By Sara Grillo BARNEGAT – Quite a crowd showed up to the corner of Route 9 and East Bay Avenue for opening day of the Barnegat Farmers’ Market on June 22, so much so that the space reserved for parking was filled up shortly after the market opened at 11 a.m. Many people opted to park in a nearby shopping plaza instead, some armed with reusable shopping bags to store fruit, vegetables, flowers or whatever else caught their eye.

The market of course had the typical farm stands filled with corn, cantaloupe, yellow squash, blueberries, peaches, garlic and kale, but more and more farmers’ markets around the Jersey Shore are starting to spice up their neighborhood bazaars with a unique variety of vendors.

The Barnegat Farmers’ Market had a little bit of everything for residents to try –from pickles to pierogis to pound cake – wedged nicely in front of the Barnegat Food Pantry & Thrift Shop.

Daisy Smith and Jaconda Bell of Momma’s Home Made were dishing out samples of their scratch made apple sauce, apple garlic hot wing sauce and sweet potato syrup, which they told (Market - See Page 4)

Hoarding Rescue Leads To 17 Shelter Puppies

By Sara Grillo STAFFORD – A recent animal hoarding situation that led to over 30 cats and dogs being rescued from a home led to even more wagging tails – when it was discovered that three of the rescued dogs were pregnant.

“This is what happens in many of these hoarder cases, people start out with good intentions but things can get overwhelming real quick,” said Daniel E. Regenye, Coordinator

for the Ocean County Health Department.

“When that happens, the animal facilities typically become the only option.”

Ocean County Animal Facilities took in the animals and said that the three dogs have since given birth to three litters, which produced 17 loveable puppies in all shades of black, brown and white. While many of these puppies are still being weaned and aren’t ready for adoption just yet, this is a busy time of year for the

shelter and they encourage residents to come down and check out the other dogs – and kittens – that are ready for their forever homes.

Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Office of Tourism and Business Development, said, “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.”

Vicari recently visited the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter at 360 Haywood Road to meet some of the county’s newest puppy residents in person. The shelter is open seven days a week, from 1 to 4 p.m. and until 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays.

Market:

Broadbent said the reason there’s so many non-farmer vendors around is because the farmers asked for it. She said there was a big push for farmers’ markets around nine years ago. But as time went on and surrounding communities like Lacey and Stafford joined in, they became less unique, and more hooks were needed to draw people back into their charm.

Sensing the stagnancy, two years ago the farmers came to her and said they wanted more people to come, but that they didn’t necessarily want to compete with any more farmers. They asked her to look for other, more specialty vendors, such as crafters and people selling products like candles, honey and coffee.

“If it’s inclement weather or hot, they can always come to get fresh produce, but the coffee guy might not be there,” she said.

Additions like food trucks help as well.

Oss Ome Bowls dished out Acai fruit

bowls and smoothies, while Dags Dippers served up French toast skewers, chocolate covered strawberries and grilled pineapple. Truck owners are often trying to get the word out about their businesses as well, so it’s a win-win for everyone.

Broadbent said 13 vendors are signed up for the farmers’ market this year, a total that includes only four farms. One was absent for opening day, Eckert’s, which she said mostly grows corn, and will be around starting the first week in July.

The Barnegat Farmers’ Market runs until October 26, rain or shine, Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Municipal Parking Lot. A special Thanksgiving Farmers’ Market will also take place on November 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Vendors can still sign up – farms or specialty – by calling or emailing Jeanne Broadbent at Barnegat Township Recreation at 609-698-0080, ext. 122 or jbroadbent@barnegat.net.

Clam Bake For A Cause

Continued From Page 1 market-goers to drizzle on anything from salmon to apples to sweet potatoes themselves. The mother -daughter team has been selling their sweet goods at farmers’ markets all across the shore, including the Brick Farmers’ Market at Windward Beach Park every Saturday.

Another popular vendor was Steve’s Pound Cakes, named after Steve Aquilino of Ocean Gate. His all natural, handmade buttery cakes come in varieties of lemon vanilla, brown sugar cinnamon, old-fashioned chocolate, pumpkin bread, coconut and plain, as well as his “secret weapon,” a cream cheese pastry cake with a sugary walnut topping named Girl Food, a creation he said increased his sales by 30 percent. It also comes in a chocolate version, appropriately named Dirty Girl.

FORKED RIVER – The Ocean Cares Foundation’s Clam Bake For A Cause is on July 22 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Latitudes, 361 East Lacey Road.

School:

Continued From Page 1 The plan was crafted by Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-3) and Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto (D-32).

Toms River would face a cut of approximately $3.3 million. (Its total budget, including all taxes and funding, is $240 million.) Brick could see a loss of $2.1 million. Manchester Township is slated to lose $177,000.

“We are not recommending taking state aid from other districts in any way,” said Toms River Superintendent David Healy at a press conference held at High School South. They just want the same aid they received last year. “We remain optimistic that the governor will respond to our plea.”

Resetting state aid at the lower number for upcoming years “will no doubt devastate this community. There is no way the district can absorb this plan and continue to provide a thorough and efficient education.”

He warned that staff could be cut, parents could be charged for athletics, and activities could be reduced.

The district’s business administrator, William Doering, said that the funding formula is flawed. It’s based on a town’s ability to pay, but Toms River is calculated to be more wealthy than it really is. Similarly, other towns are calculated to be less wealthy than they really are.

He also argued that Toms River has one of the lowest cost per pupil, and the funding is going toward towns with some of the highest.

The Southern Ocean Times, July 1, 2017, Page 5 Senators James Holzapfel and Greg McGuckin and Assemblyman David Wolfe (all R-10th) also spoke out against the measure at the press conference.

The lawmakers also took issue with $25 million in funding to pre-kindergarten schools in those districts. Although educators support pre-k as a building block for future education, it is not mandated by the state.

“How is it that people who, by law, have to be educated,” are losing money to pre-k students who, by law, don’t have to be educated, Holzapfel said.

McGuckin asked what districts are getting that pre-kindergarten money.

Wolfe said “It’s not a Republican and Democratic standoff. It’s an issue of fairness.”

The Toms River district organized a protest in Trenton, but this was ultimately cancelled as they did not receive approval to hold the protest.

In an interview by phone, Dan Leonard, Beachwood’s representative on the Toms River Board of Education, said that the district has met with state officials for months. They tried every avenue, so they now have to attempt grand statements like press conferences and protests. “The district did everything procedurally that they could.

We can’t do it without the public.”

“This district has stretched every penny.

We have the lowest per pupil cost,” he said.

Instead of being praised for being frugal, they are being penalized.

Brick Mayor John Ducey said at the press conference that the town lost $341 million in residential ratables from Superstorm

Sandy, and is still trying to recover from it.

“It’s not fair that a smaller group of people are paying a higher amount of taxes,” he said. “Every single community should be treated the same.”

Brick Board of Education President John Lamela said in a press release that possible state aid budget cuts would have a “devastating impact” to the district.

“The budget numbers were given to our district back in February,” Lamela said in a June 19 press release. “The Board, in collaboration with the Administration, worked hard to keep our tax rate low, prepare a budget that provides an excellent opportunity for our students, and makes some much needed capital improvements.”

The proposed $2.2 million loss would result in deep cuts to the budget, which Lamela said was not only unfair but would hurt the students of Brick Township.

Brick has been one of the lowest spending districts in the state while still providing a high quality of education for its students, Lamela said, and “instead of celebrating our successes we are being punished for our staff and students hard work.”

Lamela urged the residents of Brick, and the surrounding districts that are still recovering from the effects of Superstorm Sandy, to contact their legislators “to do the right thing and fight this unfair and hurtful proposal.”

Aid Based On Enrollment Attempts to contact Sweeney and Prieto were not successful as of press time. However, Mark Magyar, policy director for the

New Jersey Senate Democrats returned the call and spoke on their behalf. He said that the funding formula is more in line with what it is supposed to be. Extra aid was stripped away in order to make it fair to everyone.

The reason that some towns are losing aid is because their student enrollment is going down, he said. The funding formula dates back to 2008, and was still using those enrollment figures. Things have changed.

“It’s a 15-year-old formula based on what districts looked like 15 years ago,” he said.

Toms River had 17,169 students in the 2008-2009 school year. They were down to 15,620 in 2016-2017. This is a reduction of 9 percent.

Brick had 10,283 students in 2008-2009.

They were down to 8,753 in 2016-2017. This is a reduction of 14.9 percent.

Manchester had 3,334 students in 20082009. They were down to 2,945 in 20162017. This is a reduction of 11.7 percent.

In New Jersey, 73 percent of students attend districts that are underfunded, Magyar said. There are 27 percent of students that are receiving more aid than they should.

He countered the argument that these cuts are politically motivated, citing several Republican territories that would be receiving more aid.

Indeed, some of them are in Ocean County.

Central Regional and Southern Regional are both seeing increases in aid. Stafford Township and Tuckerton’s aid will be flat.

Ocean Gate and Long Beach Island will see slight increases.

9th District Legislators Set Aside U.S. Constitution Week In September CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove

NEW JERSEY – The State General Assembly passed legislation sponsored and supported by the 9th District Legislative Delegation that would designate the week of Septem-

ber 17 through September 23 of each year as “Constitution Week” in order to remember and honor the signing of the Constitution of the United States of America on September 17,

1787. This would correlate with the national week as established by Congress in 1956.

The joint resolution (AJR72) supported by Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Ru mpf a nd A sse mblywoman DiAnne C. Gove passed the Senate in November of last year. Having passed both Houses of the Legislat u re, the measure heads to the Governor’s desk.

The 9th District Delegation issued the following statement subsequent to their initiative having passed both Houses of the Legislature: “Raising public awareness, especially among younger persons, about the important role the U.S. Constitution plays in the lives of American citizens is incredibly important.

It’s timely that the Assembly took up this measure as our country, unfortunately,

f inds itself in a highly partisan environment in which our differences too often eclipse our common values as Americans.

“Celebrating the U.S. Constitution can serve as a conf ir ming reminder of how America became exceptional by not only establishing but preserving liberty, justice, and opportunity. Residents can also take greater pride in the contributions of New Jersey’s sig ners of the

U.S. Constitution, namely William Livingston, David Brearly, Jonathan Dayton and William Paterson.”

Designating the week of September 17 through the 23rd is an ongoing initiative of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Assemblywoman Gove is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and taught American History and Government at Southern Regional High School for 32 years.

MacArthur Reacts To Study Showing Increase In Emergency Room Visits, Inpatient Stays For Opioid-Related Issues From The Desk Of

Congressman Tom MacArthur NEW JERSEY – As a leader of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, Representative Tom MacArthur (R-NJ) released the follow-

ing statement on the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality study, which shows a national increase in opioid-related inpatient stays

and emergency department visits. According to the study, between 2005 and 2014 there was a 64 percent increase for inpatient care and a 99 percent jump for emergency room treatment for opioid-related issues.

“This study shows that the opioid crisis is running rampant across America and we must continue to do more to combat it,” said Congressman MacArthur. “It’s

my belief that we have to show compassion for those suffering from drug abuse by providing treatment and prevention services, and also balance that with stricter drug sentences for dealers who are selling poison to vulnerable Americans to feed their own greed. Our communities need our help

and I remain committed to working with my colleagues from both parties in this fight.”

The 85-member Bipartisan Heroin Task Force has been a force for action to address the opioid epidemic. Last year, the Task Force successfully pushed for the passage of 18 bills in one week

which became part of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA).

The Task Force has also held numerous hearings and briefings, both in Washington and communities impacted by addiction, to educate lawmakers about effective means to curb the crisis.

Law Enforcement Agencies Team Up To Nab Manchester Meth Dealer

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Multiple law enforcement agencies teamed up to nab a 58-year-old Manchester man who was allegedly using his Hyundai Santa Fe to deal and distribute methamphetamine throughout Southern Ocean County.

Detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Special Operations Group, Southern Enforcement Unit, Lacey Township Police Narcotics Unit and the Manchester Township Police Narcotics Unit were acting agencies in the investigation.

On June 16, detectives spotted David Dixon’s

blue SUV in a strip mall located at 1015 Lacey Road in Forked River. With the help of Lacey Township Police Patrol Division, a motor vehicle stop was conducted and it was learned that Dixon was inside the vehicle. Detectives initiated a search of the Hyundai and found 75 grams of methamphetamine, which was seized, along with the vehicle itself.

Dixon was subsequently charged with Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance (Methamphetamine) and Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance over a half ounce with Intent to Distribute. He was lodged in the Ocean County Jail and awaits a court date.

members were charged with serving Philadelphia style soft pretzels, sandwiches and beverages during the four-hour ocean trip, while others returned to the Lodge to get ready for the BBQ that followed the fishing trip.

There were 62 guests on this year’s trip, all of whom beamed with happiness for the great weather, the relaxing trip and their catch of the day. All of the participants returned to the Manahawkin Elks Lodge #2340 Grove for a two-hour BBQ dinner.

Pine Shores Art Patron Show Open House

MANAHAWKIN— On Sunday, July 16 from 1 to 4 p.m., Pine Shores Art Association is hosting an Art Patron Show Open House and Reception at the Pine Shores Gallery, 94 Stafford Avenue. Admission is free.

The Open House presents a first look at the juried show of over 50 original works donated by area artists for this year’s fundraising event at the end of the month. A $75 contribution to the art association makes someone an Art Patron who can select one of these beautiful framed works for their own at the Art Patron Gala. Becoming an Art Patron is a first-come chance for all, and a few openings still remain, though the opportunity will close before the Open House.

A sign-up form can be downloaded through the website pineshoresartassocation.org.

This 6th annual fundraising event includes an exceptional collection of fine art by talented artists that include prominent names on the national art scene like Tom Rutledge, Bob Heyer, Carol Freas, Pat Morgan, Diane Tomash and others. Every work of art in the juried show has a retail value far exceeding the $75 each patron pays to participate. Examples of the art work in the show can be seen at pineshoresartassociation.org.

The Art Patron Gala where the paintings go

home with participating patrons will be held across the street in the Stafford Fire House on July 30. Each patron will make their selection in an order determined by random drawings. The July 16 open house provides a preview opportunity where patrons can make a wish list of their favorites from which to choose. The final patron name drawn at the gala will not only receive a beautiful painting, they will also receive a free entry in the 2018 Art Patron Show.

All proceeds raised further Pine Shores’ efforts to involve Southern Ocean County in year-round fine arts events and classes for all ages. For more Art Patron event information, contact Mary Walker-Baptiste at 609-242-0799 or mcbap@mac.com.

Pine Shores’ programs are supported in part by Stafford Township, New Jersey State Council on the Arts, Cultural and Heritage Commission of Ocean County, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, OceanFirst Foundation and WalMart of Manahawkin. This program has been made possible in part through a grant by the NJ State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts through funds administered by the Ocean County Cultural and Heritage Commission.

Experience LYRIC Hearing

LYRIC is the only 24/7, 100 percent invisible, extended wear hearing device. It is comfortably placed in the ear canal by a trained LYRIC hearing professional. No surgery or anesthesia is required. LYRIC can be worn 24 hours a day, seven days a week for up to three months at a time.

One hundred percent invisible - No one will know why you are hearing better except you! Unlike many other hearing devices, LYRIC’s small size and placement in the ear canal can make it 100 percent invisible and allows you to enjoy the benefits of better hearing without anyone ever knowing that you are using a hearing device.

Natural sound quality – LYRIC is designed to closely mimic the way you hear naturally. LYRIC is place deep in your ear canal and uses your outer ear to naturally direct sound into the ear canal.

Eighty-six percent of users surveyed

report that LYRIC provides more natural sound quality than their traditional hearing aid.

Hearing with no daily hassle 24/7 – With LYRIC, you can forget the daily hassles of traditional hearing aids. Use LYRIC during your daily activities, such as sleeping, showering, exercising, using external headphone and talking on the phone. There are no batteries to change, no maintenance needed and no daily insertion or removal is required.

Doctors say LYRIC “is one of the best advances they have seen in hearing aids.

Like extended wear contact lenses… the same concept is helping people with hearing loss.” (WPVI-TV), ABC News May 12, 2009.

For more information about LYRIC, please feel free to contact Dr. Izzy at 732818-3610 or go to www.LYRIChearing. com.

Eating More Fiber May Lower Risk Of First-Time Stroke

NEW JERSEY - Eating more fiber may decrease your risk of first-time stroke, according to new research in the American Heart Association journal, Stroke.

Dietary fiber is the part of the plant that the body doesn’t absorb during digestion. Fiber can be soluble, which means it dissolves in water, or insoluble.

Previous research has shown that dietary fiber may help reduce risk factors for stroke, including high blood pressure and high blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) “bad” cholesterol.

In the new study, researchers found that each seven gram increase in total daily fiber intake was associated with a seven percent decrease in first-time stroke risk. One serving of whole wheat pasta, plus two servings of fruits or vegetables, provides about 7 grams of fiber, researchers said.

“Greater intake of fiber-rich foods - such as whole-grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts - are important for everyone, and especially for those with stroke risk factors like being overweight, smoking and having high blood pressure,” Diane Threapleton, M.Sc., and Ph.D. candidate at the University of Leeds’ School of Food Science and Nutrition in Leeds, United Kingdom.

Researchers analyzed eight studies published between 1990-2012. Studies reported on all types of stroke with four specifically examining the risk of ischemic stroke, which occurs when a clot blocks a blood vessel to the brain.

Three assessed hemorrhagic stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel bleeds into the brain or on its surface.

Findings from the observational studies were combined and accounted for other stroke risk factors like age and smoking.

The results were based on total dietary fiber. Researchers did not find an association with soluble fiber and stroke risk, and lacked enough data on insoluble fiber to make any conclusions.

The average daily fiber intake among U.S. adults is lower than the American Heart Association’s recommendation of at least 25 grams per day. Six to eight servings of grains and eight to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables can provide the recommended amount.

“Most people do not get the recommended level of fiber, and increasing fiber may contribute to lower risk for strokes,” Threapleton said.

“We must educate consumers on the continued importance of increasing fiber intake and help them learn how to increase fiber in their diet.”

In the United States, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death, killing more than 137,000 people annually. Among survivors, the disease is a leading cause of disability.

In addition to following a nutritious diet, the American Heart Association recommends being physically active and avoiding tobacco to help prevent stroke and other heart and blood vessel diseases.

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Chronic sleep deprivation causes you to crave more junk food, skip your exercise routine and deflate your mood. The only real way to cure insomnia is to find out why it’s occurring in the first place.

Don’t just take sleeping pills to knock yourself out, consider the impediments to sleeping like a baby and fix those. Here are 7 reasons you don’t sleep like a baby: 1. Timing: If you’re accidentally taking stimulating medication at night instead of the morning, you will not sleep well.

A fellow gym-rat told me she takes her Synthroid at 7 p.m. and my neighbor uses his Albuterol (ashtma inhaler) at bedtime. Both of these medications are ideally taken in the morning because they will keep you up at night. That said, if you wake up some nights coughing, or with chest tightness, you could certainly use your inhaler at night, but bronchodilators that are prescribed for general maintenance are best used during daytime hours.

2. Medical Conditions: What if you have Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease? Both of these conditions cause erratic changes in thyroid hormone which can block sleep.

Untreated acid reflux is another common cause for poor, unrefreshing sleep. Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease cause disruptions in the natural sleep-wake cycle and if you are in the beginning stages, you may not even realize you have these conditions brewing. Type 2 diabetes will disturb your sleep due to the frequent urges to urinate.

3. Allergies. You might think I’m simply referring to hay fever, and while that

certainly will keep you up at night, I’m thinking bigger. When I say allergies, I mean everything that could possibly annoy your immune system from the warm milk you drank before bedtime, to the goose down duvet, to the flannel sheets, and the polyester rug under your bed, to the dust on your fan blades, to dust mites in general… to cat or dog fur and so on. Histamine release will keep you up at night, not to mention the miserable symptoms.

4. Temperature: Personally if it’s too hot, I can’t sleep. I like the bedroom cold, but Sam likes it warm and cozy, so on cold, snowy Colorado nights I leave our window open but I give Sam a microwaveable hot pack.

5. Chronic pain: Only 36 percent of chronic pain sufferers enjoy regular, good sleep according to the National Sleep Foundation.

6. Green Tea: It makes some people alert due to the minor caffeine content.

It doesn’t make everyone sleep like you may have thought.

7. Drinking coffee: Most of you know not to drink coffee at night for obvious reasons (the caffeine), but what you don’t know is that coffee is a drug mugger of magnesium. This mineral is a natural chill pill, and it helps your muscles relax. Magnesium is thought to be a calming mineral so coffee drinkers are up against potential mag deficiency, and therefore more prone to migraines, insomnia and sadness. Drinking decaf doesn’t matter because decaf coffee still contains chlorogenic acid, which is the compound that mugs the magnesium.

Inside The Law Your Attorney Can Assist Your Mortgage Approval Process

By Robert C. Shea and Dine Vicari, Esq. of R.C. Shea and Associates

The very necessary but intensive part of your quest to close on your new home will be providing your mortgage representative with all of the financial records and additional information they require. Equally, during a re-finance of your existing home, many of the financial records will be required. In either of these situations, the process is started by the application process and moves through the underwriting process until the loan is clear to close.

During this time period which may span from 30 days to several months, depending on the complexity of the loan program, there are several things to remember as to not hinder a smooth closing, which your Attorney can assist with.

First, as an applicant, you never want to open new credit cards, switch credit card balances to new credit cards, or make large purchases on existing credit cards.

Even the smallest of purchases on a new card may open up a much larger available line of credit. This is important to remember when you are paying for movers or looking to purchase new appliances and/ or furniture for your new home. All of these actions can disrupt your income to debt ratio which can be a major obstacle in getting to that clear to close position.

Make sure prior to utilizing any credit that it is discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to avoid delays in obtaining clearance to close your loan.

Second, in a situation where you may be re-fi nancing your existing home or purchasing a home that requires repairs prior to closing, make sure all home improvements/repairs that may be on going are complete prior to the appraisal being performed. One of the steps of any loan is to have a formal appraisal complet-

ed. To avoid a delay, make sure you properly plan the timing of your appraisal. Timing of the appraisal should be discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to ensure that there are no on-going improvements within the property that would require a re-appraisal that will cost an additional fee.

Third, it is important to make sure you are prepared for closing and have enough money saved to bring to the closing table.

At the time of closing there are lender costs and third party costs, such as payments to insurance companies, surveyors, title companies, home owner associations, tax office, municipal utilities, and many more, which must be paid at closing. It is important to communicate with your Attorney and mortgage lender to review all of your closing costs that you will be responsible for at the time of closing.

Galaxy Gal Pal

Dear Joel, My friend is very superstitious. If the stars aren’t “right” she will cancel our plans. Once we were late for our dinner reservation because we had to turn back home when she realized she forgot her charm bag. She’s a loyal friend and we share a great many belly laughs when we can get together, but I feel like I’m second fiddle to an astrology chart. How can I get her to put this mumbo jumbo aside?

Irene, Waretown Dear Wishful, This is a dilly. Personally, I don’t let the planets plan my projects, but I know there are some people who really put a lot of stock in those things. The most important thing you said is that she is

a loyal, joyful friend whose company you enjoy. That is worth a lot. It’s certainly worth more than being frustrated over her star worship. Some people have kids or spouses or pets who affect their plans; your friend has the zodiac. I think you’ll have to accept her fascination and be patient with her. I doubt you’ll be able to talk her out of it, so wait until the stars align and enjoy the good times with your galaxy gal pal.

OCC Receives Multiple Grants, Donations To Fund Veterans Storytelling Project

By Sara Grillo TOMS RIVER – Ocean County College just received a series of grants and donations to help fund StoryCorps and The Telling Project, which together will tell the stories of Ocean County’s veterans in an effort to engage OCC students and community members in topics that explore the human spirit.

StoryCorps is a national oral history project that began in 2003 and now boasts over 60,000 interviews and 100,000 participants nationwide, who talk openly about their experiences with topics like 9/11 and being LGBT or Latino. All recordings are archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, so that stories can be preserved for future generations.

With the help of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, StoryCorps will visit the OCC campus in July to record interviews with veterans at local VFW

groups, American Legions and local senior communities, as well as through OCC’s Oral History Project and advertising. A high percentage of local veterans are expected to be contacted.

Once their stories are collected, The Telling Project, a performing arts non-profit that uses theater help explain veterans’ experiences, will create a play that showcases those stories. That play will be performed by the Ocean County College Repertory Theatre Company in November, lining up with Veterans Day. The recent grants and donations include: $10,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts – Arts Engagement in American Communities • $10,000 donation from The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation • $2,000 donation from the New Jersey Historical Commission • $1,250 grant from the Ocean County Tourism Advisory Council • $1,000 grant from the Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission “It is important that our veterans’ stories be heard, archived, and told for future generations,” explained Mark Wilson, OCC Director of Cultural Affairs. “By combining an oral history of StoryCorps with the play-writing of The Telling Project, we will be able to accomplish our goal of letting members of the community understand the history of our veterans. The oral histories and play will be an additional resource for teachers to share with their students and a resource for communities across New Jersey.”

Classes For Families Affected By Mental Illness Starting In September

OCEAN COUNTY – The National Alliance on Mental Illness Ocean County offers a free, six-session educational program for family, significant others and friends of people living with mental illness. It is a designated, evidenced based program. Research shows that the program significantly improves the coping and problem-solving abilities of the people closest to an individual living with a mental health condition.

The NAMI Family-to-Family Class is taught by NAMI- trained family members who have been there, and includes presentations, discussion and interactive exercises.

It not only provides critical information and strategies for taking care of the person you love, but you will also find out that you’re not alone. Recovery is a journey, and there is hope.

The group setting of the NAMI Family-to-Family Class provides mutual support and shared positive impact – you can experience compassion and reinforcement from people who understand your situation.

You can also help others through your own

experience. In the program, you will learn about: How to manage crises, solve problems and communicate effectively.

Taking care of yourself and managing your stress.

Developing the confidence and stamina to provide support with compassion.

Finding and using local supports and services.

Up-to-date information on mental health conditions and how they affect the brain.

Cur rent treatments, including evidence-based therapies, medications and side effects.

The impact of mental illness on the entire family.

Please contact NAMI Ocean County to learn more about the class and sign up. A Fall 2017 class will begin on September 9 and run in a convenient location depending on the enrollment.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of July 1 - July 7

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Flashes of genius are like a genie in a bottle. You may need to rub a little harder to get the wish granted. Mental restlessness may send you chasing rainbows down dead end alleys this week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It is easy to be sidetracked by social gatherings. Slacking off in the week ahead will cause you to lose momentum. Keep your opinions to yourself and rely on trusted companions rather than strangers.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There are some cross currents going on behind the scenes. Although you are forging forward, others may secretly resent your freedom. Be polite and considerate toward others in the week ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Employ your energy to be excellent. In the week ahead your creativity is energized and you can get more accomplished than usual. However, be cautious about spending and using credit cards.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Face up to your fantasies. In the week to come you might be misled by your imagination or see only what you wish to see. You might feel out of place in group activities or social events.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep a smile on your face as the week goes by. People may wonder just what you have been up to. An air of mystery will help you impress others and may pay off financially, as well as romantically.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): People may jockey for position and set their sights on lofty goals but you remain balanced this week.

Ruthless ambition may not appeal to you, but be aware it is a sweet attraction for associates.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The week ahead may offer opportunities for amusing yourself with hobbies or playtime activities.

Even if there is no time for a hand’s on approach you can read or study your favorite subject.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Walk the straight and narrow path. Ignore the wild geese and refuse to chase after them. Don’t waste money on things that do not come with a written guarantee in the week ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Focus on the facts rather than your fantasies. As this week unfolds you might not be at your best in one-on-one negotiations. Be cautious about the fine print if you must sign a contract.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Rest on your laurels. Confidential situations could come to light that can be used to your advantage in the week ahead. Don’t take important steps as surface appearances could be misleading.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Work to make long range plans a reality as this week unfolds. Tap into the energy of a creative muse and you will find yourself making some powerful moves, and enjoying it as well.

Pizza Party: Welcome Summer With A New Approach To Barbecue

By Wolfgang Puck WOLFGANG’S BARBECUE CHICKEN PIZZA Makes 4 pizzas, each 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 cm) 1 pound (500 g) leftover or store-bought boneless, skinless grilled or roasted chicken, cut into bite-sized chunks 4 tablespoons minced jalapeno chile 1 cup (250 mL) bottled barbecue sauce Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough (recipe follows) Extra-virgin olive oil 2 cups (500 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese 2 cups (500 mL) shredded fontina cheese 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced 2 ounces (60 g) fresh goat cheese 1 bunch fresh cilantro or parsley, leaves coarsely chopped 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese Preheat the oven to 450 F (230 C). Put a baking stone in the oven at least 30 minutes before making the pizza.

In a bowl, toss the chicken with the jalapeno and barbecue sauce. Set aside.

Shape each pizza as directed in the dough recipe. Brush with olive oil and evenly sprinkle with mozzarella and fontina. Top with chicken, red onions and tomatoes; dot with goat cheese.

Using a lightly floured baker’s peel or rimless baking sheet, slide a pizza onto the baking stone and bake until nicely browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully transfer to a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining 3 pizzas.

Brush each pizza’s crust with olive oil. Garnish with cilantro or parsley and Parmesan. Cut into slices with a pizza cutter or large, sharp knife. Serve immediately.

WOLFGANG’S PIZZA DOUGH Makes enough for 4 pizzas

1 packet active dry yeast 1 1/2 cups warm water, 105 to 115 F (40 to 46 C) 1 tablespoon honey Extra-virgin olive oil 3 to 4 cups (750 mL to 1 L) all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast in the water.

Stir in the honey. Leave until cloudy, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons oil.

Combine 3 cups (750 mL) flour with the salt and add all at once to the yeast mixture. Mix at low speed using the paddle attachment. When the dough forms, change to the dough hook; knead at low speed for 2 minutes, then at medium speed until the dough comes away cleanly from the side of the bowl and clusters around the hook, 5 to 7 minutes.

Turn out the dough onto a clean work surface. Knead by hand 2 to 3 minutes, adding flour as needed, until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and leave at warm room temperature to rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour. When ready, the dough will stretch without tearing when gently pulled.

Divide the dough into four equal balls. Shape each by gently pulling the sides and tucking them under the bottom, working around the ball four or five times. On a smooth, unfloured surface, roll each ball under your palm until smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Put the balls on a tray or platter, cover with oiled plastic wrap or a damp towel, and leave to rest for at least 30 minutes. At this point, the balls can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for one to two days; they will need to be punched down when you are ready to roll them out.

To shape a pizza, place a dough ball on a lightly floured surface. Turn the dough as you press down on the center with the heel of your hand, gradually spreading it out to an 8-to-10-inch (20-to-25-cm) circle; or use a rolling pin. Pinch a slightly thicker raised rim. Transfer to a lightly oiled pizza pan, or bake directly on the stone.
