Residents: No Left Turn On Harding Ave.
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Ortley Beach residents said the intersection of Route 35 and Harding Avenue is dangerous, and urged the Township Council to make it illegal to make a left turn onto it. The problem, resident Guiseppe Padovano explained, is that people leaving Seaside Heights use Harding to turn around so they can head back to the bridge. He wanted there to be no more left turns onto Harding from Route 35. “There were 142 accidents in five years,” Padovano said. He told the Township Council that he received that figure from the police department. Toms River police information officer Ralph Stocco said the following day that the records were being migrated from one computer system to another, so he could not confirm the figure of 142 accidents. Only very recent crashes were available, of which there was one since the third week in June. (Residents - See Page 8)
Ocean County Fair To Mix New And Old Favorites
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The Ocean County Fair remains a place where everyone in Ocean County is welcome to a day or evening out to enjoy some old-fashioned fun. While some of it has changed over the years, 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 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 fill 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, (Fair - See Page 22)

Land Cleared For Dealership
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The large swath of land that is being cleared on Route 37 will be a car dealership. The land, located between St. Catherine Boulevard and Bananier Drive, on the eastbound side of 37, has been worked on for a few months. It won’t be a new dealership, per se. It will be the new home of Lester Glenn Chrysler, which has outgrown its current location, also on Route 37. There are a number of car dealerships on Route 37 already, including: Suburu, Dodge, Nissan, Porsche, Audi, Toyota, Chevy, Hyundai, Ford, Honda, Volkswagon, Mitsubishi, (Dealership - See Page 8)

This Month In History: Not All Of NJ Wanted Independence
By J. Mark Mutter TOMS RIVER – As we celebrate our nation’s independence this month, all was not so certain here about that independence in July, 1776. New Jersey was a dangerous place to be in the days before and after independence was declared, including our tiny patriot village of Toms River. While Toms River was a patriot stronghold throughout the struggle for independence, some of our neighboring towns were not. Just two weeks before independence would
be declared by the Continental Congress sitting in Philadelphia, New Jersey’s Provincial Congress received a petition from “sundry inhabitants from the Township of Shrewsbury praying that no new mode of government may be established; that the present may continue; and that no measures may be adopted that tend to separate this Colony from Great Britain.” Our town, which was then called Dover Township, was once part of Shrewsbury Township, having been carved out of it in (Independence - See Page 5)

Novel To Inspire Superstorm Sandy Reflection Five Years Later
By Sara Grillo TOMS RIVER – The Toms River Regional School District will be remembering the 5th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy in an interesting way this year – through a book. Despite ongoing decreases in state aid and drops in funding due to Superstorm Sandy, Toms River is one of only two school districts nationwide to receive a $14,000 grant to support NEA Big Read, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts. The program, which is designed to broaden our understanding of our world, our communities and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book, will take place over the course of the 2017-2018 school year. This is the first year the National Endowment for the Arts has opened the program up to school districts. During the grant application process, the district was tasked with choosing from a pool of 28 NEA-approved contemporary books, and then had to mold that choice around a literacy program that included book discussions, special events and theme
projects. Toms River students will be reading Station Eleven, a post-apocalyptic novel by Emily St. John Mandel that centers on a chaos-inducing flu pandemic and an attempt to keep humanity alive through the arts. The corresponding, month-long NEA Big Read program will take place in October and relate back to Superstorm Sandy through discussions and reflections about its effect on Toms River, on the five year anniversary of the storm. “The elements of Station Eleven that link to Superstorm Sandy will provide a unique opportunity for reflection and catharsis for Toms River,” said Rivera. “That this program will take place exactly five years after the storm is seamless, an ideal time to consider its impact on all of us. Besides that, the book is an enjoyable, engaging, and suspenseful novel that I think our students and community will be eager to discuss.” The grant application process, novel selection and program development concepts were led by high school English supervisor Tonya Rivera and grant writer Mike Kenny,
along with other district educators, curriculum directors and administrators. The Toms River Board of Education supported the district’s pursuit of NEA Big Read, as literacy was identified as a core goal for the upcoming school year. The book itself is also in line with many school initiatives beyond literacy – including the science of pandemic disease, performing arts, literature, psychology, celebrity culture and graphic arts. School officials hope the combination of these topics will help students express a maker mindset and inspire them to create art and projects, or write poems and essays. Station Eleven will be assigned as summer reading for the roughly 5,000 high school students starting or returning to school this fall, and the book will be spread throughout schools and the community in creative ways. The Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Library will stock hundreds of copies of Station Eleven, and serve as host for the NEA Big Read kick-off event on October 2. “NEA Big Read will be an extraordinary,
emotional, and fun way for our students, families, and community to connect through a single book,” said Superintendent David Healy. “We are thrilled to have earned the opportunity to host a literacy campaign on this scale. Our vision is to bring all of Toms River together for programs and events that we’ll be talking about for years to come.” Superintendent Healy also penned an open letter to the Toms River community inviting them to participate in NEA Big Read. Upcoming events also include Congressman Tom MacArthur speaking at High School North’s theatre on October 19, a panel discussion at Ocean County College with Station Eleven author Emily St. John Mandel on October 26 and a collaboration with the town’s annual Halloween Parade. Any Toms River students, staff, parents, families and residents who are interested in signing up to participate in NEA Big Read can sign up at eventbrite.com/e/tomrivers-nea-big-read-tickets-35242779101 or visit trschools.com/community/BigRead for more information.
County Aims To Make Road Curves Safer
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – High friction curve treatments are going to be instituted at several busy roads to improve safety, Ocean County engineer John Ernst said. High friction curve treatments help tires grip the roadway better and lead to fewer crashes.
They will be installed on curves on the following roads: • Lacey and Waretown: Route 532 - Waretown Road and Wells Mills Road • Manchester and Lacey: Route 614 Lacey Road and Lacey Road East • Berkeley: Route 618 Dover Road
• Plumsted: Long Swamp Road and Brindletown Road • Toms River: Dock Street • Point Pleasant: River Road and Arnold Avenue • Jackson: Freehold Road The ordinance to install these treatments,
which would be paid for with $5 million in bonds, was brought up at the most recent Ocean County Freeholders meeting. However, since there were only three Freeholders in attendance, they could not vote on the measure because four members are needed. Therefore, it was held off until the next meeting, on July 19 at 4 p.m.

Independence: Continued From Page 1 1767 when our legal charter was granted. Uncertain Times June and July 1776 were uncertain times in New Jersey as the minutes of the “Provincial Congress” reveal. This Congress – an unofficial body that challenged the royal “General Assembly” – acted as a “shadow” or alternative government to the King’s government, then headed by Governor William Franklin, the last royal governor of New Jersey. Franklin – Benjamin’s son – appointed in 1763, remained loyal to the British to the bitter end. New Jersey would have none of that and the Provincial Congress took the following action: On June 14, 1776, it voted 38-11 that Franklin’s order that the General Assembly meet to stave off talk of independence “ought not to be obeyed.” In so doing, it referred to him as “William Franklin, Esquire, and late Governor of New Jersey.” If this wasn’t treason to the British cause, nothing was. On June 16, 1776, another petition from Shrewsbury, along with one from Perth Amboy, was received “praying that the government of the Province of New Jersey may not be changed.” They were read and filed. The Provincial Congress then voted 41-10 that Franklin was “in contempt” of the Continental Congress and it voted 42-10 that “William Franklin, Esquire, has discovered himself to be an enemy to the liberties of this country, and that
The Toms River Times, July 15, 2017, Page 5 measures ought to be immediately taken for securing the person of the said William Franklin, Esquire.” Our governor - or former governor, depending on whose side you were on – was under arrest. Last, it voted that “all payments of money on account of salary, or otherwise, to the said William Franklin, Esquire, as Governor, ought from henceforth to cease.” This vote was 47-3. On June 18, 1776, the Provincial Congress read a letter from Nathaniel Heard who it had commissioned to see Franklin and request that he sign a written “parole” as to where Franklin would agree to move to – as the former governor. Heard reported that as to this parole that Franklin “absolutely refused” to sign it - whereupon 60 men were immediately placed on guard around his house. Franklin was effectively under arrest. On June 22, 1776, the final New Jersey stroke for independence was given, as instructions were given to our five delegates to the Continental Congress. It said: “The Congress, empower and direct you, in the name of this Colony, to join with the delegates of the other Colonies in Continental Congress, in the most vigorous measures for supporting the just rights and liberties of America. And, if you should judge it necessary and expedient for this purpose, we empower you to join with them in declaring the United States independent of Great Britain.” July, 1776 Ten days later – on July 2, 1776 – they would vote for independence which was
announced, publicly, on July 4th. But, it would require more than just words to gain independence. It would require action – military action – and soon action there would be. On July 17, 1776, the Provincial Congress received a letter from John Hancock on behalf of the Continental Congress “requiring an addition of two thousand of the militia” to which “we, the deputies of New Jersey, in Provincial Congress assembled, do resolve and declare, that we will support the freedom and independence of the said States with our lives and fortunes and with the whole force of New Jersey.” And the next day, July 18, 1776, it was voted that “instead of the style and title of the Provincial Congress of New Jersey, we do adopt and assume the style and title of
the Convention of the State of New Jersey.” Let Us Remember More than 200 years later, sometimes we might take our independence for granted, but as those days in June and July 1776 demonstrate, all was not so certain. Let us remember this in the peace and comfort in our lives this July 4th. Source: Journal of the Votes and Proceedings of the Convention of New Jersey, 1776, published in 1831 by J. Justice, Printer. J. Mark Mutter is the Toms River Township Clerk and Historian. He is Chairman of the Semiquincentennial Committee that is celebrating the township’s 250th anniversary in 2017.

In the article titled “Toms River Celebrates Its First 250 Years,” the first initial of the township clerk was incorrect. It is J. Mark Mutter. The Toms River Times apologizes for the error.

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.

Residents: Continued From Page 1 The Toms River police has crossing guards at intersections along Route 35 for eight hours a day, he said. They are aware of the problem and are working on it. Another Ortley resident, Rosemary Durnan, said she lives near that intersection and agreed with Padovano. She suggested that the traffic be rerouted to intersections with a traffic signal.
“That is the most dangerous intersection on the barrier island – bar none,” said another Ortley resident, Ken Langdon. Township engineer Robert Chankalian said that Eisenhower Avenue used to be the first street people could turn around in. When that was made a one-way street by the state Department of Transportation, it shifted the problem to Harding. Harding became the first street to turn around. And that’s the problem with making it illegal
to make a left turn onto Harding. It would, in turn, shift the problem to another street, he said. “There’s always going to be a first street,” he said. “We have to be respectful of other residents.” The Township Council asked the engineer, police, and DOT to look into it. In related news, Langdon questioned the absence of signs and traffic barrels that he had advocated for 10 years ago. He suggested that the town removed them because the signs
cost money. Township officials responded that they were in violation of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, published by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration. If the town was in violation, they could be held liable if, for example, a motorcyclist hit one of the barrels. Township officials and Langdon disagreed on this, and it quickly became an argument where more than one person was talking over the other. The council directed the traffic issues over to the police department.
Dealership: Continued From Page 1 Buick, and Kia. Some of them are owned by a few companies. There are also stores for used vehicles, like Candor Auto Sales and Eppy’s Classy Cars. Route 37 and Route 88 are two of the busiest roads in the county for car dealerships. According to Planning Board documents, the land encompasses approximately 5.69 acres in the rural highway business zone. The property used to be home to a landscaping/ nursery business and four commercial buildings. These were all torn down. Only the sign will remain, although obviously it will list the new business instead. Lester Glenn’s development of the property would include parking, curbing, driveways, sidewalk landscape lighting, and drainage basins. The business would be open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., but closed on Sunday. It is expected to support 60 employees. The Planning Board granted a variance to the dealership regarding the signage. The property only allows for seven “items of information” per business, and the dealership wanted 17. The Planning Board ruled that the additional signage would not negatively impact other businesses in the Route 37 corridor. The development was approved in 2016, and put in writing certain provisions for the dealership to follow: tractor trailer deliveries of vehicles can only take place in the parking lot, behind the building, not on Route 37 and not in the fire lanes; the dealership must make a contribution to the town’s sidewalk fund in lieu of constructing sidewalks on 37; and no outside speakers pointed toward the residential zone behind it. Representatives from Lester Glenn didn’t return comment for this story. NEED AN EMERGENCY HOME REPAIR? WE’RE HERE TO HELP AT NO CHARGE

SUN, SAND, SURF, AND EYE GROWTHS
You don’t necessarily have to be a surfer to develop an eye condition known as “surfer’s eye.” Swimmers, fishermen, and boaters may also develop a pink growth of fleshy tissue on their conjunctivas (the clear tissue that lines the eyelids and covers the eyeball) known as “pterygium.” As obvious and unattractive as this growth can be, it is not cancerous and usually does not cause problems or require treatment. However, it can be surgically removed when it interferes with vision. As far as prevention is concerned, the exact cause is not known, but it is generally thought that too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light and prolonged contact with wind, smoke, and sand likely trigger pterygium development. Pterygia usually occur on the side of the eye closer to the nose, but they can also develop on the side closer to the ear and can affect one eye or both eyes. Having light skin and light eyes may put you at increased risk of getting a pterygium. To schedule an appointment, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., at 732-3495622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

Volunteer Opportunities Available
TOMS RIVER – The Presbyterian Church of Toms River has several programs and groups within its organization that are currently looking for volunteers and support. If you have any questions about one of these opportunities, or would like to volunteer for one, please contact the Church Office at 732-349-1331 unless otherwise noted. Homework Helpers & Tutors Needed We’re looking to start a new after-school academic support program for our friends at Walnut St. Elementary. If you have an afternoon a week (starting in September), we invite you to join our team of tutors and homework helpers. We’ll be meeting with students after school (about 3 p.m.) to help one or more students at a time with assignments. School Supply Collection We’re collecting school supply items until August 13 for House of Hope and Urban Promise. There will be boxes near all main church entrances where you can deposit your donations, including backpacks, folders, pencils, pens, loose leaf binders, filler paper, file folders, dividers, markers, erasers, book covers, notebooks, calculators, highlighters and pencil sharpeners. Food Pantry Volunteer Opportunity Every month 250 – 300 families in our community are served by The Food Pantry at The HOPE Center. The pantry is seeking volunteers willing to spend time each week sorting donations, stocking shelves and assisting clients. Can you help? You can call the HOPE Center at 732-341-4447 for more information or you can contact the Church Office and we’ll help get you in touch with someone who can get you started. Like to Sing? Join Summer Choir Whether you’re already singing in the choir loft regularly or not, Summer Choir is the perfect opportunity for you to raise your voice in praise to God. Come see what choir membership is about with no long-term commitment. We welcome all singers, whether you read music or not. Join us for one rehearsal on Wednesday, July 27 at 7 p.m. and then sing the following three weekends. For more informa-
tion, pick up a Summer Music Opportunities flier outside the Sanctuary or see Josh Melson. Summer Church School Volunteers If you have an hour to spare this summer, we have the perfect volunteer opportunity for you. Our summer church school needs volunteers. You can help for one service, one weekend during the summer, or as many times as you wish. We do the planning, you come and work with the kids. Please speak with Jane Kahnt, Linda Fashauer or Michael Barozzie. Piano Players Needed We’re looking for people to play piano at for our Nursing Home Services, as well as for the Communion Services we do at Harrogate and Crestwood Manor. Each time several classic hymns are chosen for the residents to sing. Anyone who can play the piano at a very basic level and above is encouraged to participate. If you have an hour to join us 2 to 3 times a year, or you’d like to get more information, please contact Vivian Burns or the Church Office. Green Thumbs If you have an hour a week to spare, The HOPE Center could use your green thumb. Volunteers are needed to water, weed and eventually harvest the vegetable garden. Produce from this garden will be added to the food pantry. If you can help, contact the HOPE Center office. Sound Booth Volunteers We’re blessed with a fantastic group of volunteers that run the slides and LiveStream feed during worship, but we can always use a few more team members. If you’re interested in joining our team, contact Scott Slawson. We’ll train you and get you on the schedule. Ushering Guild When you arrive for worship each weekend, you’re greeted with a smile by one of our ushers. That hearty good morning as you receive your bulletin is a wonderful way to begin the service, isn’t it? If you’d like to be part of offering that service to others, consider joining our Ushering Guild. Contact the office to find out how you can help. We’re looking for individuals who are seeking an occasional or regular commitment to serve the congregation.

Ongoing Alleged Fraud In Lakewood Reaches $2.4 Million
By Sara Grillo LAKEWOOD – As Ocean County and Federal law enforcement officials continue their investigation into the recent defrauding of Medicaid and other government assistance programs, 12 additional Lakewood residents have been served complaint summonses for allegedly collecting thousands of dollars in fraudulent benefits. As of last week, 14 people had been arrested between June 26 and 27 for collecting roughly $2 million in government assistance benefits they were allegedly not entitled to. A total of 26 people have now been arrested, with the total alleged fraud reaching nearly $2.4 million. The following couples were most recently served complaint summonses for 3rd Degree Theft by Deception by Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office detectives and collaborating agencies: • Eliezer and Elkie Sorotzkin of West Spruce Street allegedly wrongfully collected approximately $74,960 in Medicaid benefits between January 2011 and December 2013. • Samuel and Esther Serhofer of Whispering Pines Lane allegedly wrongfully collected approximately $72,685 in Medicaid benefits between January 2009 and December 2013. • Yisroel and Rachel Merkin of Hermosa Drive allegedly wrongfully collected approximately $70,557.51 in Medicaid,
SNAP and HEAP benefits between January 2011 and December 2014. • Jerome Menchel and Mottel Friedman of Pressburg Lane allegedly wrongfully collected $63,839 in Medicaid and SNAP benefits between January 2011 and July 2014. • Tzvi and Estee Braun of Ridge Avenue allegedly wrongfully collected $62,746.74 in Medicaid, HEAP and CICRF benefits between January 2009 and December 2013. • Moshe and Nechama Hirschmann of Emmanuel Drive allegedly wrongfully collected $53,418.39 in Medicaid and SNAP benefits between January 2011 and December 2015. It is alleged that the charged individuals misrepresented their incomes by claiming amounts that were low enough to benefit from the government programs, when their actual incomes were too high for them to quality. They also failed to disclose on the applications additional income they were receiving from other sources. As a result, the individuals were able to receive government benefits that they and their families were not entitled to. Additional arrests and charges may result as the cases move through the legal process. If anyone has information about these incidents, they should contact Sergeant Mark Malinowski of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027.

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.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist 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.”

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Basics
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea and Associates
In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered. In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to 70 percent of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner. Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury. This process progresses after your physician has returned you to gainful employment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you may be entitled to total disability benefits.
The questions often arises, “What happens 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. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use, Wills, Trusts and Powers of Attorney.

Fair: Continued From Page 1 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 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 What’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.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
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. She has plenty of gardening tips and is always telling me what I should do and what I’m doing wrong. One time she even came over and pulled my weeds when I was out. Please help me from digging a hole and pushing her in it? Weeded Out in Toms River
garden. They describe it as a spiritual experience, being around nature and watching living things grow leaf by leaf and inch by inch. 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

BUSINESS PROFILE DISCOUNT TIRE CENTER By Robert Verderese Tires are one of the most important components of your car. They are responsible for how your vehicle handles various road conditions that come your way. You might not truly appreciate your tires until you fi nd yourself getting a fl at or a blow out, but that’s where Discount Tire Center of Tom River comes in. Operated by Rich, alongside master technicians with over 40 years combined experience, Discount Tire has been offering the best quality tires at the lowest prices since 1985 and will always treat you with courtesy and professionalism. Are you one of those people who never pay attention to your tires? If so, you are not alone. But did you know ignoring your tires can potentially bring about a major safety issue. Why? Because tires are your vehicle’s only contact with the road. It doesn’t matter how good of an engine your vehicle has, how well it is built, what speed and acceleration it has, in the end it all comes down to tires and how they can alter your automobile’s performance on the road. Not only should you pay attention to your tires, but you should learn the difference between good tires and bad tires— between cheap tires and quality tires! Yo u r automobile tires can
literally make or break your driving experience and your family’s safety, so it is critical that you choose your tires wisely! At Discount Tire, Rich and his team will see to it that your tires are the right fi t for you, your vehicle and your budget: “We house an inventory of over 2000 tires at all times, which means you can count on us to almost always have exactly the right tires for you at any given time,” Rich explains. And unlike other tire chains, Discount Tire doesn’t stock off-brands or seconds: “Our tire rack is only fi lled with world class tire brands, such as Michelin, Good Year, BF Goodrich and Pirelli,” says Rich. Additionally, by virtue of the high volume of tires that they sell, Discount Tire is able to maintain lower prices than their competitors. So therein lies the simple formula to Discount Tires phenomenal success—to provide the highest quality tires to their customers at the lowest price. Given their success, it is no wonder that many other tire and auto shop establishments have desperately tried to imitate Discount Tire, even going so far as to use their name. But Rich and his team don’t let that bother them. They believe in that old adage that ‘imitation is the highest form of flattery’ and therefore feel complimented by their competitors—while all along knowing that though others have used their name and practices—there is only one Discount Tire Center! For many of us, our knowledge of tires begins and ends with the fact that they are black, round and have a hole in the middle. But the reality is
that tire technology has really gained traction in recent years. The professionals at Discount tires are acutely aware of this and that is why they research tire ratings exhaustively to ensure that they are equipped with the knowledge to best serve their customers. Rich sheds light on the subject in the following way: “The tires they are making today go way beyond what season it is or what type of vehicle you are driving. You can think of today’s tires as multitaskers—responsible for transmitting the forces of grip, driving, steering and braking to the surface of the road.” Knowing that your automobile and your time are very important, Discount Tire can install a set of 4 tires on your vehicle in approximately 30 minutes. “We are proud to be Home of the 30-Minute Tire Exchange. We
want our customer ’s tire buying and maintenance experience to be as seamless and enjoyable as possible,” says Rich. By providing speedy, exc e l l e nt s e r v i c e coupled with the lowest prices in tow n, D i sc o unt Tire always strives to meet and surpass their customer’s expectations. When it comes to tires, routine maintenance is also extremely important. This includes proper inflation so your tires don’t wear prematurely; regular rotation to ensure maximum longevity for your tires; proper alignment for enhanced performance, and other tried and tested techniques. As an added bonus, proper maintenance of your tires will also improve your gas mileage and most importantly!—provide optimal safety for you and your family. Plus, when you purchase tires from Discount Tires, you will receive free mounting, balancing, valve stems and tire disposal. Moreover, they offer coupons and discounts on a regular basis as a way to say thank you to their customers. Rich says of his customers in this way: “We really value our customers, many of whom we know on a first name basis. We treat all of our customers like our own family members. We enjoy building longstanding relationships with them.” A commitment to serve the
needs of their customers and the community at large is perhaps most aptly illustrated by Discount Tire Center’s insistence on opening their doors the morning after Super Storm Sandy hit our area: “We were ready for the storm and had all of our equipment operating on generators. We felt compelled to help and serve our community in its time of greatest need. By getting their vehicles back on the road, we took great pride in providing support and comfort for our neighbors in such a trying time,” Rich recalls. Discount Tire Center is also a full-service auto repair shop, offering a variety of automotive repair services, including prevent at ive maintenanc e, brakes, shocks, exhaust systems, wheel alignments and more. So come into Discount Tire Center for a quote on an automotive repair service, or schedule an appointment with them today! You can reach them at 732-270-6700 or via their website at DiscountTireNJ.com. They are conveniently located at 1406 Route 37 East in Toms River next to the Taco Bell.

Go Nuts! Cashew ‘Cream’ Sauce Is The Highlight Of This Vegan Dish By Wolfgang Puck 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.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of July 15 - July 21 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Don’t throw caution to the wind. You may be less careful than usual as you could be in a hurry or simply too focused on what you’re doing to pay attention to what’s going on around you. Stay on your guard no matter the circumstances. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Go along to get along. Someone’s assertiveness may rub you the wrong way but you’ll get farther by looking for compromise rather than trying to butt heads. The lights will be all green for romantic pursuits this evening. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let the cat out of the bag. Show your maturity by not revealing privileged information that you have been trusted with. Sharing someone else’s secrets will give you little to gain and a whole lot to lose. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There’s always room for improvement. You’ve done well so far but there’s no reason why you can’t do better in the future. Seek out innovative new methods and routines which could improve your productivity, health or attitude. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): When it’s your turn to bat, swing for the fences. You’ll only gain from an opportunity in the spotlight and showing definitive results, so don’t hold back. Your prospects for romance could be higher than usual throughout the day. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Live and let live. Making mistakes are part of life. Allow others to learn from their experiences and don’t be so quick to jump into the affairs of friends or loved ones. If solving a problem seems impossible, try again later.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): There doesn’t have to be winners and losers. Resolving an argument by finding common ground upon which to build could be more beneficial than simply trying to get in the last word. Avoid trying to push someone’s buttons. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Test the waters before you dive in. Get a feel for the general mood before making jokes or offhand comments or others may take it personally. Focus on projects that tap into your creative side to get the most out of it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Don’t make assumptions. While you may feel someone knows exactly what you are thinking, they may actually be on a completely different wavelength. Go out of your way to do something to please your significant other. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): Don’t fret over what you don’t have. The green-eyed monster could rear its ugly head when a friend shows off a shiny new toy. This should really have little impact on your life. Constructive projects keep your mind busy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Refocus your priorities. Too much information and mental clutter may divert you from the correct path but employing some self-discipline and some planning could quickly have you back on the right track. PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): There’s always a chance. The odds of winning or losing could be equal, just make sure that you can afford the cost if you lose. Put creativity and originality on display and before too long others will admire and respect you for it.
