LEGENDARY COACH WOLF Aﬀordable Homes Contracts TO BE HONORED Renewed

By Chris Christopher BRICK – Mr. Brick Township will be honored Saturday, August 5 at noon at Windward Beach Park. The 90th birthday of Warren Wolf, who retired as New Jersey’s career wins leader in football after a legendary coaching career at Brick Township High School, will be celebrated with a gathering. Wolf will turn 90 on August 1. “It is always nice personally to be honored,” Wolf said. “I worked with so many wonderful people. It’s the people who make the people. That’s how I look at it. Nobody can do anything alone unless they are Johnny Weissmuller (who starred for the United States as an Olympic swimmer).” Wolf guided the Green Dragons to a 361-12211 record in 51 seasons. He was the first football coach in the history of the school, which opened in 1958. Wolf, (Coach - See Page 4)

Ocean County Fair To Mix New And Old Favorites

it still retains the feel of a neighborhood event of wholesome entertainment, said fair manager Jeff Adams. Volunteers are always hard at work reinvesting in their community. The board putting it together (Fair - See Page 17)

who also served as the town’s mayor and deputy superintendent of schools, led Brick to numerous New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association sectional and Shore Conference divisional championships. An educational facility in town, the Warren H. Wolf Elementary School, and an athletics venue, the Warren H. Wolf Sports Complex at the high school, were named in his honor. A feature of the event will be a silent auction to be run by his son, Warren Charles Wolf, who played and coached under his dad. The proceeds will go to the Warren Wolf Scholarship Foundation. “We want to auction off my dad’s memorabilia – footballs and trophies and whatever else we come across,” he said. “It will be fun. We hope to see friends and former players who we have not seen in a long time.” Admission to the bring your own bottle event is $20. Proceeds will benefit the Green Dragons. Wolf, who retired as coach December 1, 2008, said his health is strong. “My health is good,” he said. “My wife (Peggy) takes care of me.” Brick won 13 sectional crowns – seven of which were awarded before the playoffs began – and either captured outright or shared 24 divisional titles. The Green Dragons were unbeaten in eight seasons and suffered just three losing campaigns. “We had a lot of success and it takes good players and good coaches to have success,” the elder Wolf said. “We had a lot of boys who liked to play football. We were one high school at the time I came down here.” There was a time when Brick was known as the University of Brick because of its prowess on the gridiron and its large number of players. It was said it was impossible to get a haircut in town as all of the barbershops were closed because the workers attended the Green Dragons’ games. “During one season, we had 102 players on our varsity team,” the elder Wolf said. “We are proud of that. More and more boys came out and played. We were fortunate as we had wonderful players. You can’t make success unless you have good players. We were always blessed with good players. Brick now has two high schools and we still have good players. Brick exudes success.” Wolf finished his career in 2010 as the head coach of the Lakewood Piners. Lakewood snapped a Shore Conference-record 33-game losing streak and won four of its final five games. “I missed coaching and the people of Lakewood were very nice to me,” he said. “I missed the locker rooms and the boys. I missed checking up on how they were doing in school. We had some good players, but Lakewood did not have the long range plan I had in mind.” The Green Dragons were known for their ball control Delaware Wing T formation and stingy defenses. “We were fundamentalists,” the elder Wolf said. “I had to learn the basic fundamentals before I could confuse our players. We had close to 20 assistant coaches, including volunteers. You had to learn how to play

different defenses and how to attack different defenses, the 7-1 or the 5-3, on the fly. If the other team managed to confuse you, you were in for a long day or a long night.” Wolf is a disciple of the late, legendary Joe Coviello, having coached under his idol from 1948-57 at Memorial of West New York “We lost maybe two or three games during that time,” Wolf said. Wolf broke Coviello’s career wins record of 252 in 1992. Coviello attended Wolf’s record-breaking win on a Friday night at Southern Regional and praised Wolf to the heavens in a postgame speech to the Green Dragons in their locker room. One of Wolf’s wins was over a North Bergen team coached by Coviello in 1970 at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City. Another big victory was in 1966 when Brick won by two touchdowns on the road over traditional state power Phillipsburg. Brick sent 22 school buses to the game to support its beloved Green Dragons. When Wolf arrived at Brick, it had a rural character. It grew in population as parents wanted their sons to play under the Silver Fox and is now one of New Jersey’s most heavily populated communities. Wolf worked lots of Coviello’s strategy and training techniques into his methods. “He was a master coach and he knew what he wanted to do,” the he said. “He never followed the same pattern.” Wolf attended numerous clinics during off seasons to avoid being stereotyped by opponents. He soaked up knowledge at such places as Penn State, Texas A&M, Arkansas, West Point, Houston, Air Force, Nebraska and Pacific Lutheran. “You find out how nice the people are,” he said. “They immensely helped me. I went each spring to learn how they do things. I would always ask myself, ‘Can I do it at the high school level?’ I tried not to teach over my head. The more you go to different schools, the better you get. You have to learn what you can do with your players and you learn it in a hurry.” “He was always learning,” young Wolf said. “He never took anything for granted. He always knew there was something else that would make a difference. Learning kept him sharp. He always wanted to learn something new. If he went somewhere and learned one thing, it would be worthwhile. We instituted a magnetic board on our sidelines, an idea we got from Pacific Lutheran, an NCAA Division III school.” A classmate of the elder Wolf at Memorial was the woman who was to become his wife of 67 years. “She was very understanding,” he said. “She knew when we won. She knew when we lost. She knew when the boys would come to our house to look at tapes of our games. She was my right hand. She missed two games in my first season at Brick and one in my second year at Brick. She was the most important person. She learned the game. She was always my girl. My claim to fame is that I married a cheerleader.” “If we lost, I would say, ‘Sorry about that,’ “ said Mrs. Wolf, who was a Memorial cheerleader.” If we won, I would say, ‘Congratulations.’” (Coach - See Page 5)

The young women are volunteer puppy raisers for Canine Companions for Independence (CCI), a national non-profit organization that provides assistance dogs for children, adults and veterans with disabilities. The puppy raisers bring a puppy into their home when it is eight weeks old and raise it, teaching it 40 basic commands and socialization skills before returning it to CCI for additional training. Meanwhile, “Traveler,” a three-month-old male Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever mix, will be spending the summer at the shore with Braswell and her mother, Marion, at their home in the Sandy Point section of Brick. Ayanna always had dogs, and she talked Precious into joining the Puppy Club at St. Peter’s University. The club’s moderator, Dr. Patricia Redden, had raised several puppies for CCI and told the students about

Dr. Redden was trying to get some of the commuting students to become volunteer puppy raisers, and Precious and Ayanna were interested, but they live on campus. “We thought it would be a good idea to try out, to see if we could raise a puppy on campus,” Precious said from her Brick home recently. Dr. Redden worked with the dean of admissions at St. Peter’s University, and at the end of May the school contacted Precious and Ayanna to let them know they had gotten permission for the pilot program, and assigned them a room. “We were waiting a long time. We were unsure whether it would happen,” Precious said. “We were more excited than surprised.” Once they got the green light from school officials, they applied for a puppy online, and shortly afterwards, CCI got in touch with the girls for a phone interview. “They told us what CCI is, and then they sent emails to us that had training videos that demonstrate how to correctly raise the

puppy, including tips we could refer back to,” Precious said. The puppies are on a time schedule. Between the ages of two and four months they learn 10 basic commands, such as “sit,” “stay,” “kennel,” and “let’s go.” Between the ages of four to six months they learn 10 more complex commands, and 10 more between the ages of six and ten months. “I never had a pet before,” Precious said. “It’s definitely a lot of responsibility, especially how often I have to walk him. But he’s very intelligent, especially when he wants something.” When Traveler is about a year and a half old, he will be returned to CCI regional headquarters in Medford, NY where they will begin six months of training with professional instructors before being matched with a disabled child or adult. “It’s going to be a sad process. I heard that there is a lot of crying at puppy graduation, but it’s also a good thing,” Precious said. She said she hopes to stay in touch with Traveler’s owner to see how he’s doing.

“I think about who the dog will help when the time comes, and how he will help them,” she said. Precious’s mother, Marion, who owned poodles when she was younger, agreed. “It’s going to be a sad day for both of us. The dogs are like family members,” she said. “I try to help with Traveler, but I get scolded,” Marion joked. “He has to be trained a certain way, so Precious corrects me all the time. I appreciate that it’s a lot of responsibility, but she and Ayanna are up for the task without a doubt,” said Marion, who is a middle school teacher in East Orange. Canine Companions for Independence is the largest non-profit provider of trained assistance dogs with six regional training centers across the country. Established in 1975, CCI provides highly trained assistance dogs to children and adults with disabilities and is recognized worldwide for the quality of its dogs, and quality and longevity of the matches it makes between dogs and people. There is no charge for the dog, its training, and ongoing follow-up services. For more information, visit cci.org or call 1-800-572-BARK.

the elder Wolf, whose son, Warren Charles, started at offensive tackle in the game. “It set the tone. Our boys realized that by working together they can come up with a championship. You don’t win it on the drawing board. You win it on the field. As coaches, we made the practices harder than the games. “I learned that from Joe (Coviello). He felt you had to train to be good enough to

play and our practices were harder than our games by design. We had a large number of boys on our teams. Some never got to play much in the games, but they enjoyed our practices.” Wolf served as the town’s mayor from 1971-75. He was a member of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders from 1975-81 He was a member of the New Jersey

General Assembly from 1981-83 and a Brick Township Council member from 1982-93. He was elected to the New Jersey Sports Writers Association Hall of Fame in 2008. “Football is a great sport,” Wolf said, “But it is either hit or get hit. The choice is yours. It doesn’t matter how big you are. If you can run like a scat back ...You can’t teach running, but you can teach blocking.”

Homes:

Continued From Page 1 meeting. The township pays Homes Now, Inc. a consulting fee of $9,880 monthly. In December 2016, Brick entered into a settlement agreement with the Fair Share Housing Center that says Brick has met all of its affordable housing obligations and does not have to build any additional units of affordable housing. Originally Brick was told

that 3,000 units (which equates to about 1,500 units) were required. In March 2016 the township had hired a new affordable housing attorney and appointed a new firm to fight state the requirements for the additional units. At the time, Mayor John G. Ducey said the township wanted credit for existing affordable housing already built in the form of senior citizen housing and housing for the developmentally disabled.

A formula capped the amount of credit Brick could receive for those at about 22 percent because the township had too many of each. In the 1990s, the township started to integrate its affordable housing obligations within neighborhoods instead of having all the units concentrated into large apartment complexes. While the houses looked the same as the surrounding houses, families who purchased the affordable housing units paid less for their homes, and the homes came with a 20-year

deed restriction. The deed restriction said that the owners of the affordable homes could only charge 10 percent more than they paid for the house if they sold it, and the house could only be sold to someone who qualifies for affordable housing so that it remains in township inventory. Since property taxes are based on the home value, the affordable units pay less in taxes, so the home is assessed lower than the surrounding houses. During the same June 11 council meeting, the governing body authorized an extension of the deed restriction for an additional 30 years on the homes that had expiring deeds. “Homes Now, Inc. brought this to our attention,” said Business Administrator Joanne Bergin. “We had some due diligence to do to see what our number was going to be with Fair Share Housing to be sure that the units were essential to the plan, which they are, and we took the proper time to reach out to these folks and have them come in, meet with us, understand what we were doing, why we were doing it, give them a chance to do some research, because like many of us, who are not familiar with the deed we signed when we bought houses 20 years ago.” Additionally, any repairs or renovations completed by the homeowners over the last 20 years factors into the formula in terms of what they would be eligible to recoup if they were to sell their home, so many of the homeowners wanted to go back and gather up receipts to see how much they spent and to make individual appointments with Homes Now, Inc to go over the numbers, Bergin said. “It was to educate them on what this meant and what it would mean to them if they sold the property,” she said. “I’m glad to say we took the proper time to work with these residents so they didn’t feel blindsided by the council meeting.” The next council meeting will be on July 25 at 7 p.m. in Town Hall.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Congressman MacArthur Introduces Legislation To Help Sandy Victims

NEW JERSEY – Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-NJ) and Congresswoman Kathleen Rice (D-NY) recently introduced the Disaster Assistance Fairness and Accountability Act of 2017. This bill sets a statute of limitations of

three years for disaster recoupment preventing FEMA from trying to “recoup” money from innocent taxpayers. “Since I first came to Congress, fighting for natural disaster victims, who have been treated unfairly

by FEMA, has always been a top priority of mine,” said Congressman MacArthur. “This bipartisan bill will bring common sense reform to FEMA by protecting victims from recoupment years after their claims have been received.

As South Jersey continues to recover f rom Superstorm Sandy, Jersey Shore families shouldn’t have to pay for FEMA’s mistakes.” “Victims of disasters like Sandy use whatever assistance they receive to rebuild their homes and put

their lives back together, and it’s not fair for FEMA to try and claw back that money years later because they think they noticed a mistake,” said Congresswoman Rice. “While we keep working to waive all debts for homeowners who

may have been overpaid through no fault of their own, this bipartisan legislation will impose a threeyear statute of limitations on at t e mpt s t o re coup funds from individuals, as is already the case for states and municipalities.”

Filing Deadline For School Board Candidates Nearing

NEW JERSEY – Candidates seeking school board seats have until 4 p.m. on Monday, July 31 to file their nominating petitions at the Ocean County Clerk’s Office in order to have their name placed on the November 7 General Election Ballot, according to Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella. Nominating petitions for School Board can be obtained in person at either the Ocean County Clerk’s

Main Office, at the Ocean County Courthouse, Election Services, Room 107 at 118 Washington Street in Toms River, or at the Ocean County Southern Service Center, 179 South Main Street in Manahawkin. The offices are staffed from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. “The Ocean County Clerk’s Office makes every effort to inform potential candidates of approaching filing deadlines,” said Ocean County

Freeholder John P. Kelly, who serves as liaison to the County Clerk. “Through the office’s website, social media, and other avenues, County Clerk Colabella provides the information needed by both candidates and voters.” Colabella noted it was important that candidates get their paperwork in on time. “This is what guarantees their place on the ballot,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H.

Vicari. Colabella noted that all Ocean County school districts now hold their Board of Education elections in November. “A law signed by the Governor in 2014 moved the petition filing deadline for school board candidates from June to the last Mon-

day in July to provide candidates with more time to submit their petitions,” Colabella said. A total of 68 school board seats will appear on the November ballot in various school districts throughout Ocean County. A complete listing of all candidates who file petitions for school

board will be available shortly after the July 31 deadline at oceancountyclerk.com or facebook.com/ oceancountyclerk. School board candidates seeking additional information on the petition filing process can contact the Ocean County Clerk’s Election Office at 732-929-2153.

–Photo courtesy BCCT “Broadway Ray” Soehngen surrounded by cast members at the BCCT Studio located in Brick after presenting a check for $8,333 for the “Loud & Clear” campaign. BRICK – “Broadway Ray” Soehngen has done it again! When Brick Children’s Community Theatre (BCCT) set out to raise $25,000 to expand their wireless microphone system in hopes that their entire cast could be heard “Loud & Clear” for all future performances, Broadway Ray could not resist the urge to get involved, changing those hopes into reality. As part of the OceanFirst Charity Challenge run April 18 – May 16, where NJ non-profits were invited to compete to raise money for their respective organizations, BCCT launched the “Loud & Clear” Campaign to raise $25,000 in honor of the organization’s 25th Anniversary. Broadway Ray, a longtime benefactor of BCCT and one of its 25th Anniversary Season Sponsors, quickly jumped in to set up Broadway Ray’s Triple Play. Through Broadway Ray’s Triple Play challenge, BCCT supporters’ donations of $8,333 were generously matched by Soehngen, and then matched again by Soehngen’s former employer GE’s matching funds program through the GE Foundation. Because of Soehngen,

BCCT raised the $25,000 needed to equip each child with a microphone so every voice can be heard. Soehngen resides in Brick and shares his love of theater by organizing bus trips to Broadway shows in New York City. A proud supporter of the Arts and Theater in our community, Broadway Ray generously supports not only BCCT, but also the Algonquin Arts Theater, Ocean County Vocational/Technical Performing Arts Academy and Exit 82 Theatre Company, to name a few. You can hear BCCT’s cast “Loud & Clear” at their next performance of Peter Pan at the Historic Strand Theater from July 28-30. Ticket prices are $14 for children 12 and under, $16 for students and seniors, and $18 for adults, plus a $1.50 service fee per ticket. The show runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, with intermission. Per the Strand’s ticket policy, all attendees need a ticket regardless of age. No strollers or carriages will be allowed inside the theater. Tickets are on sale now at bcct.booktix.com or by calling 732-920-9041.

Are You Tired Of Hearing?

People with perfectly normal hearing are able to hear and understand much of the sound around them automatically. They do not have to get help from lip reading. They do not have to concentrate. They do not have to stop what they are doing. They just hear. Someone with a hearing loss does not have the luxury of automatic hearing. If you have a hearing loss, you have to pay close attention, use lip reading when you can and concentrate. Hearing and understanding do not happen automatically. Hearing takes attention and energy and you just can’t do it 12 or 14 hours a day. Hearing aids allow you to hear better and that is great. But it may be just as important that hearing aids allow you to hear with less effort and energy. They allow you to be more relaxed as you communicate with the people around you. Of course, you cannot listen carefully fulltime and there will be times when you do not hear as well as other times. You may not hear as well if you are tired, under stress or

you are thinking about something else. That is why we suggest that anyone speaking to you gets your attention before speaking. On the other hand, if you are ready and if you are paying attention, you can hear better than you really want to. You just can not do it full time. Actually, many people with hearing loss are able to hear and communicate surprisingly well in spite of hearing only 50 or 60 percent of the speech sounds. But, we live in a very demanding hearing world and sometimes anything less than 80 to 90 percent is just not good enough. If someone tells you, “Okay, I will see you on the 15th,” and you hear “Okay, I will see you on the 16th,” it was not enough to hear most of the message. So the next time someone says “you can hear me when you really want to,” you can correct them: “No, you mean I can hear you when I really work at it.” Remember, if have hearing loss, hearing takes attention and energy. You can do it 12 to 14 hours a day.

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!

Bartley Healthcare Earns The Embracing Quality Award

JACKSON – Bartley Healthcare Nursing and Rehabilitation’s latest recognition is the accreditation in Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI). With that accreditation, Bartley has received the Embracing Quality Award for 2016. Bartley has partnered with quality care leader Providigm, a developer and champion of quality assessment methods and measures for post-acute and long-term care facilities that tracks outstanding performances in those areas. The Providigm Embracing Quality Awards for 2016 reflect excellence based on three performance measures during the calendar year of 2016. Bartley Healthcare has received an award in at least one of three categories, which include: Deficiency-Free Survey, Readmission Prevention and Customer Satisfaction. The Providigm philosophy of Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) is integral to the Embracing Quality Awards. Only organizations that have achieved Basic or Advanced QAPI Accreditation are eligible for an award to ensure that systems are in place to continue providing the same caliber

of care. QAPI is essential for sustained high performance. Embracing Quality Awardees are determined based on absolute criteria for extremely high performance. Providigm believes that an extremely high bar can be defined for all to strive to achieve. Given how few organizations were able to meet the Embracing Quality award criteria, there is no question that as award winners, Bartley is a leading group. For over 31 years, Bartley Healthcare has provided quality individual focused skilled nursing, rehabilitation and assisted living services for residents on its 25-acre campus in Jackson. Founded in 1985, Bartley Healthcare has long been recognized as an award winning, quality leader with the experience in skilled nursing, post-acute care and assisted living, having been listed by U.S. News & World Report as one of America’s Best Nursing Homes. Bartley Healthcare is Joint Commission accredited with special certification for their Memory Care and PostAcute Programs.

Dear Pharmacist

Search: @JSHOREONLINE

Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Some Pharmacists Are Losers And Some Are Heroes By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. About 100 years ago, during Prohibition, apothecaries were the place to hang out since the neighborhood bars had closed. The corner drugstore was where people traded “hard” liquor in for “soft” drinks and it was also a time when pharmacists were actual chemists blending herbals and medicinals all day long. Did you know Coca Cola syrup was invented by pharmacist John Pemberton back in 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia? Fast forward to today where Coca Cola is a global smash, and medications are commercially prepared by multi-billion dollar corporations, not people. Some have said the pharmacist’s role is more along the lines of “lick, stick and pour.” Ah, but that’s just a saying. Oregon and New Mexico just signed into law a bill that allows pharmacists to prescribe and dispense birth control pills to women straight out of the pharmacy, without an on-site physical exam or lab work. This may sound weird to you, but the precedent was set years ago when pharmacists were granted prescribing rights to administer certain flu vaccines. The ability for pharmacists to prescribe contraception saves valuable time and money for all parties involved, but it does beg the question: Which prescription drugs are going to one day be put on the “allowed to be prescribed” formulary? And in regard to birth control pills, are the pharmacists (or any prescriber) advising women to supplement with what their medication will deplete? ‘The Pill’ reduces your magnesium, selenium and crucial B vitamins which can contribute to you feeling depressed, overweight, hypothyroid

and tired. I suggest you put back what the “Drug Mugger” stole. Pharmacists have once more been distinguished as one of the most honest, ethical professionals in the United States. But some pharmacists give the practice a bad name. For example, this past June Massachusetts pharmacist Barry Cadden was sentenced to nine years in prison because he compounded injectable steroids that were contaminated, which led to the deaths of 76 people in 2012. Contrast that with the quick-thinking pharmacist who just saved 57-year-old Mark Davey’s life. Mark was eating lunch, and out of the blue, his tongue started to swell up. He drove himself to CVS Pharmacy to buy Benadryl, but when he arrived he began gasping. Pharmacist Bhavini Patel was working that day, and she called paramedics, and then injected Mark with the drug EpiPen (epinephrine) from her pharmacy in an attempt to save his life. It worked! Mark was experiencing an “anaphylactic” allergy to his food and she knew it. I applaud Pharmacist Patel, she is a true hero. Even though it may have possibly gone against store policy to administer the shot, she did what she felt was right and compassionate to save this man’s life. How awesome?! Mark is alive because pharmacists are not just there to lick, stick and pour. We are healers by nature and interested in getting you well. I wish I could go back in time and own one of those apothecaries where I could create amazing custom-blended natural remedies, as well as fizzy soft drinks around my “neighborhood bar.”

Vet Suicide Prevention Walk Planned

By Chris Lundy BRICK - Citing statistics that 22 veterans a day commit suicide, a 22K Walk/Ruck/ Hump is planned for July 22. Warhorse SCUBA and Ma Ma Deuce is organizing the event, Operation Ruck It, which will kick off at Brick and lead to Seaside. The 22 kilometer hike is referred to as a “ruck march” by members of the Army or Air Force, or a “hump” by members of the Marines and Navy. Hikers have the option of carrying a 22-pound pack, symbolic of the burdens soldiers carry home with them. They can also carry flags that they bring themselves. Military standards from each branch of service will also be available. Hikers do not have to be veterans to join the march. The entry fee is $22. “Unfortunately, 22 veterans will choose

to end their lives today,” read a statement from Warhorse. “This is a terrible trend that has hit too close to home with the recent death of Purple Heart recipient, Marine combat veteran Cpl Gary Bell from Brick.” The “pre-Hump safety brief” begins at 7:30 a.m. at Trader’s Cove in Brick. All hikers must be present. There will be a small refreshments table there with bagels, donuts, coffee and juice. There will be several spots for hikers to stop and rest, hydrate, change socks, and adjust gear. People can also be picked up here by friends and family if they can’t make it the entire trip. The march is also looking for sponsors to sponsor each kilometer. To register, sponsor, or for more infor mation, visitwarhorsescuba.com/ join-the-march.html

In the July 8, 2017 article “Howell Native Turns Movie Maker,” actor Brian O’Halloran was incorrectly identified as Kevin O’Halloran.

Fair:

Continued From Page 1 is all volunteers. The ticket gates are run by the Toms River Mariners Marching Band as a fundraiser for them. Explorer youth cadets from the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department and surrounding towns will serve as parking attendants. Inside, it hearkens back to the kind of fairs that you visited as a kid. Boardwalk-style games of chance and skill will fi ll the midway. The sound of carnival rides – and people on them – echo from the tree line. Lines of community groups and small businesses set up in booths, mixed in with food vendors. It all still has a classic feel to it. “We trace our lineage back to 1947,” Adams said. It was an agriculture day, back then, when farmers would show off their crops that year. It was called the “4-H Achievement and Agricultural Ocean County Field Day.” Held on September 6, there were contests for entries like highest yield or largest corn. You could also attend seminars to get information from seed companies. There were an estimated 500 attendees. It was originally held at Ocean County Park in Lakewood, but in 1982 it was moved to its current location, at the Robert J. Miller Air Park in Berkeley. This allowed more room for amusements, horse riding, and more. While the venue has changed, and the audience is mostly not farmers, there are certain things that have not. There are still awards and expositions for agriculture. This comes from the still-intact connection to the 4-H after all these decades. Amusements of America will be bringing the rides. They are the same outfit that has come the last few years, Adams said. Like everything else in the fair, their rides will be a balance of favorites and new things. Unfortunately, they retired the Ferris wheel they had. That was a crowd pleaser. Performances There are several acts that are performing throughout the fair, often more than once. “Some of these people are sought after” and are hard to book, Adams said. Scott DeCarlo, in particular, couldn’t be fit into the schedule last year. “This year, we had to fight to get him because he’s in demand.” The Amish Outlaws, the fair’s headliner, are performing in the main tent on Wednesday, at 7 and 9 p.m. Doc Swan’s Magical Comedy Act is on Thursday, at 7 and 9 p.m. He was a staple of the fair for a few years, and has now returned. Country band After the Reign is performing on Friday, at 7 and 9 p.m. Cowboy Larry’s Wild, Wild West Show

Lawn Care & Supply, LLC –Photos courtesy Micromedia will be on Friday and Saturday nights as well. R&B Express, performing Doo-Wop and oldies, will be on the stage at 2 p.m. on Saturday. Country singer Scott DeCarlo will be performing on Saturday at 7 and 9 p.m. Kaotic Control will be performing at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Rock N Roll Chorus, from Long Branch, will also be performing. These shows are being done at various times from Wednesday to Sunday: RC Car demonstrations, and a Chainsaw Carver. The carver has won awards internationally. He will be doing demonstrations, where he takes a block of wood and gives it new life in about 20-30 minutes. Animal Shows W hat’s a county fair without animal shows? There are several going on throughout the week. A western gaming horse show will be in the horse show ring at 5 p.m. on Friday. At 5 p.m. on Saturday, there will be the Team Sorting Horse Event. Marvelous Mutts, Commerford Zoo, and the Pig Races will be scheduled throughout the fair, from Wednesday to Sunday. Marvelous Mutts has trained dogs perform such feats as races and swimming pool acrobatics. Commerford features an exotic petting zoo, with creatures such as lemurs and yaks. They have an elephant and camel ride. The pig races are just what you imagine they would be, a track with packs of piglets running through them, all given ridiculous names. Fair Food And of course there must be fair food. Corn dogs and funnel cake as far as the eye can see. But wait, there’s more! Just as the other festivities are a mix of classics and new, the food selections will be a mix of traditional fair food and new selections. You’ll see kettle corn on the traditional side, and falafel on the nontraditional side. With the popularity of food trucks, there will be more of them making appearances. Schedule The Ocean County Fair will be from July 12 through 16 at the Robert J. Miller Air Park on Route 530 in Berkeley Township. The hours are as follows: Thursday, July 13, 5 to 11 p.m. Friday, July 14, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, July 15, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday, July 16, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fair admission is $8. Children younger than 10 are free.

In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered. In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to 70 percent of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner. Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury. This process progresses after your physician has returned you to gainful employment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you may be entitled to total disability benefits.

The questions often arises, “What happens if I am injured during Christopher R. Shea Esq. the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Jersey. Although, as a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury. Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment as if an employee. In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee.

A Pesky Neighbor In The Garden

Dear Joel, I love gardening and take great pride in my yard. It’s a peaceful time and I look forward to working in the yard, but I have a neighbor who thinks she is a judge in the county fair.

It’s their time away from the stresses and interruptions of the day. I would tell your neighbor that you appreciate her advice, but that you really want to figure things out on your own. Tell her you don’t care about having the biggest and the best garden; you just want to learn from every experience.

Dear Weeded, What a shame. I don’t have a green thumb, but I have several friends who are serious gardeners and they tell me how much they enjoy their time alone in the

Go Nuts! Cashew ‘Cream’ Sauce Is The Highlight Of This Vegan Dish By Wolfgang Puck Most people today understand what it means to be vegetarian, avoiding meats, poultry or seafood in their diets. In fact, the ever-rising popularity of farmers’ markets makes it possible for more and more food lovers to consider themselves at least part-time vegetarians, enjoying the pleasures and health benefits of meals without animal proteins at least several times a week. Widespread familiarity with vegetarianism has, in turn, led to more particular choices when it comes to the foods we eat. There are lacto-vegetarians, who include dairy products in plant-based diets; ovo-vegetarians, who eat eggs; and, of course, lacto-ovo-vegetarians. Pescatarians - fish-eaters won’t eat any other animals - deserve a mention, too. Then there’s the most observant vegetarian category of all: vegans, who avoid any animal products whatsoever. That means no butter, no cheese, no milk, no eggs - nothing at all derived from animals. And you find that more and more people interested in healthy eating today follow strictly vegan diets, with celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow, New England Patriots superstar quarterback Tom Brady, and Brady’s supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen all touting the health benefits of strictly plant-based nutrition. With veganism gaining an ever-higher profile, it’s only natural that my chefs and I get more and more frequent requests for vegan dishes. Now, you might think that we’d find it challenging to prepare delicious, even luxurious-tasting food following such restrictions. But, in fact, more and more products are widely available that make vegan cooking not only possible but actually a pleasure. You can find vegan “cheeses” and even vegan cultured “butter” spreads made from nuts and oils, for example. And it’s also possible in your own kitchen to prepare “cream” sauces based on nuts, which turn wonderfully smooth and rich when pureed in a blender, leading many people who sample the results to doubt that a dish made in this way doesn’t include dairy. Don’t just take my word for it, either. Instead, try the following authentic-tasting Italian recipe, which was developed by my team at Wolfgang Puck Catering. It features fresh gnocchi, the traditional bite-sized potato-and-flour pasta dumplings, which you can find vacuum-packaged and ready to cook in the refrigerated section of many well-stocked supermarkets and in Italian delis. If you want to make sure you’re being strictly vegan, check the ingredients listed on the package and select a brand that doesn’t include eggs. You’ll also want to look for a store-bought, dairy-free Parmesan cheese. Roasted cashew nuts, pureed in a food processor, are the source of the rich-tasting, garlicky “cream” sauce. You and your family and friends may find it hard to believe this easy, delicious recipe is actually vegan. And you may realize you’re

one step closer to following a plant-based diet yourselves! VEGAN GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOMS, GARLIC AND CASHEW CREAM SAUCE Serves 4 For the gnocchi: 1 12- to-16-ounce (380-500g) package fresh gnocchi 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 quarts (3 L) cultivated mushrooms, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) slices 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 sprig fresh thyme For the cashew cream sauce: 1/2 cup (125 mL) raw cashews, roasted in a 350 F (175 C) oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes 1 1/4 cups (310 mL) water 1/2 cup (125 mL) good-quality canned vegetable stock or broth To assemble: Nonstick cooking spray 3 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 cup (60 mL) store-bought grated vegan Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon salt Chopped fresh chives, for serving Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi following manufacturer’s instructions. Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic and thyme, and saute, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms begin to turn golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the thyme sprig and set the mushrooms aside. Put the cashews and water in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Process until the nuts form a smooth paste, stopping as necessary to scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add half of the sauteed mushrooms and process again until smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed. Transfer the puree to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook until thick and creamy, about 1 minute, adding a little of the vegetable stock if necessary to thin it to coating consistency. To prepare the gnocchi for serving, heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the cashew cream sauce, gnocchi, remaining sauteed mushrooms, grated Parmesan, pepper and salt; cook until thoroughly heated through. Spoon the gnocchi, mushrooms and sauce into individual heated serving bowls or plates. Garnish with chives and more Parmesan and serve immediately.
