School Board President Stepping Down

By Sara Grillo JACKSON – Jackson Board of Education President Barbara Fiero is resigning from her position and moving out of the area. According to Board Secretary Michelle Richardson, remaining board members will fill the vacant spot with an appointment at the August 15 meeting, which begins at 5:30 p.m. in the Administration Building.

Fellow board members and Superintendent Stephen Genco had kind words to share about Fiero and her 14-year tenure with the board during the meeting where she announced her departure.

Her colleagues described her as someone who is consistent, always getting things done and

who really understands how to work with people for the benefit of the district.

Board member Michael Hanlon remembered fi rst meeting Fiero and walking through all the district schools with her. He said she “always looked for what was best for the district – not what was best for Barbara.”

Superintendent Genco described her as a rock, and someone he could always count on, and who will be truly missed.

Fiero said she began her career in public education volunteering for the PTO back when her children began school in 1986. She said she always felt it was very important (School - See Page 5)

for most of the day. That pushed everyone over to Saturday and Sunday.

Although actual head counts weren’t available, he said the attendance was well into the thousands (Fair - See Page 5)

Jackson Officer Shaves Head For Cancer

By Sara Grillo JACKSON – Police officers, by nature, help people in their communities every day. But Jackson Police Officer Mike Grochowski went over the top recently when he cut off eight inches of his hair and donated it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, which will use the hair to make wigs for patients suffering from cancer.

Officer Grochowski, who has been with the Jackson Police for 19 years and in law enforcement even longer, said he has been shaving (Officer - See Page 5)

–Photo courtesy Jackson Schools Students read to the “Bright and Beautiful” therapy dogs who were visiting during a recent “Check it Out!’’ session at Johnson Elementary School.

By Sara Grillo JACKSON – School is definitely out for the summer, but the Jackson School District is making a special exception and keeping libraries open at its elementary schools this summer as part of an exciting new reading program.

The “Check it Out!” reading program kicked off earlier this month and encourages students to come back into their elementary schools and find a book they can get hooked on this summer.

“This program helps us combat the effects of ‘summer slide,’ by keeping them interested in reading and helping them to build their reading stamina,’’ said Johnson Elementary School Media Specialist Carrie Hogan. “We are strengthening that connection between home and school and in the process we get to watch our students discover the joy of reading in a relaxed and fun environment.’’

Students are invited to come into their elementary schools and look for books that jump out and excite them, or have a school

media specialist help them find a fun and interesting book. Each elementary school will be open twice in July and twice in August as part of the program. Kids can even read to therapy dogs that will be on site visiting some of the schools.

The sessions held earlier this month have so far been a success among both students and parents. The first session brought out over 60 people and checked out 122 books to Jackson elementary schoolers.

“Summer is a great time to try out different kinds of books to see what might spark a child’s interest,’’ said Assistant Superintendent of Schools Dan Baginski. “We are hoping that having our school libraries available year-round will encourage students to stop in and find something they will love to read.’’

Remaining dates and times for the “Check it Out!” program can be found on the Jackson School District Summer Assignments website at jacksonsd.org/page/7466. Parents may also have received the information via email or automated telephone call.

“When I became a board member it is something that I have always taken very, very seriously,” she said, adding, “I felt that my first job was to the children and the district and then to the taxpayers.”

She also noted, as a show of pride, that in 14 years, the school board has never had a time where a meeting was almost canceled because there were not enough board members for a quorum.

“I hope that whoever sits in my chair remembers just how important this position is,” said Fiero.

Any Jackson residents who are interested in filling the vacant role left by Fiero should submit a resume and cover letter outlining

“From a young age, I always loved to help people – that’s why I became a cop,” he said.

With him at the Supercuts in the Bennetts Mills Plaza were his two daughters, Bella and Chloe, who he hopes to set a good example for and teach to help others. Bella will also be in the salon chair soon, as she wants to donate her hair, too. She needs to

During the closed session portion of the August 15 business meeting, applicants will be asked to make a five minute statement about their qualifications and reasons for wanting to serve, and board members will be allowed to ask follow up questions. A candidate will be appointed during the public session portion of the meeting, and will then take their oath of office. The appointed candidate will serve on the school board until its reorganization meeting in early January 2018 and has the opportunity to run for reelection in November.

wait another two months so she has a solid eight inches to cut off and donate.

But it certainly doesn’t stop at hair cutting for Officer Grochowski. He is extremely active through fundraisers and charity events with the Jackson PBA #168, such as hosting yearly coat drives and installing wheelchair ramps. The ongoing heroin problem also strikes a chord, and after hearing about individuals who are suffering, he goes to their houses and tries to talk to them and offer resources that might help, in hopes that they might turn their lives around. He said it’s a problem that touches not just the addict, but the whole family.

“Teach others to do for others,” is his motto, and a very good one at that.

Fair:

As usual, animal attractions made up a great deal of the entertainment. There were pig races, trained dogs showing off their skills, and horsemanship shows. A petting zoo featured some animals not often seen in Berkeley Township, such as camels, an elephant, and a kangaroo. The 4-H kids showed off the barnyard and home-raised animals they had nurtured.

The 4-H display, still a large portion of the festivities, also displayed projects the kids worked on throughout the year. There were works of art, reports on environmental causes, and even a hamster obstacle course.

A chainsaw carver left behind some work for sale. A local tree removal company would supply him with the logs. Sometimes,

Kids had the opportunity to race remote control cars. Then, they could see the real thing, with some off-road vehicles.

As usual, the interior of the fair was full of tents set up with people selling things like caricatures, t-shirts, arts and crafts. There were also home improvement companies and government offices.

Some rides rose up into the air, overhead of the tents. Some were firmly on the ground, for smaller children to go around a track. There were playhouses for different ability levels or theme: Spongebob to Disney to horror movies.

Mixed in around the rides were a majority of the food vendors. Fair mainstays dominated the choices, including Hayden, 6, pets ducklings raised by Jess and kettle corn, lemonade, cotton candy Emily from Wise Quackers in Lanoka Harbor. and deep fried anything.

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

Dancer Bill Designating Eastern Bumble Bee As NJ’s Native Pollinator Advances Capitol Comments Assemblyman Ronald Dancer 12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson

NEW JERSEY – Legislation (A3403) sponsored by

Assemblymen Ron Dancer and Parker Space designat-

ing the common eastern bumble bee as the state native pollinator received Assembly approval.

“The common eastern bumble bee is native to the Garden State and an important general pollinator for a wide range of crops our state is known for, including

blueberries, cranberries, tomatoes and peppers,” said Dancer (R-Ocean).

“It’s considered one of the most important species of pollinator bees in North America.”

“These bees are extremely adaptable,” said Space, whose family is well-known

for its long-standing agricultural commitment in Sussex County that spans eight generations. “They can live in the country, suburbs, and urban cities, making them the perfect species to be named New Jersey’s native pollinator.”

Dancer and Space said

the key to a successful agriculture industry in New Jersey is a healthy bee industry. The state’s 20,000 bee colonies represent a $7 million honey bee industry that contributes to the production of nearly $200 million worth of fruits and vegetables annually.

New Hangar On The Horizon For Ocean County Airport

BERKELEY – With the steel framework substantially completed, a new eight-unit t-hangar building at the Ocean County Airport should be ready to house planes by late summer.

“This new t-hangar will be of no cost to the county and will answer a growing need at this facility,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the airport located at the Robert J. Miller Airpark, off Route 530. “It will help us reduce the current waiting list allowing more pilots to store their planes at the airport.”

Vicari noted the new hangar is expected to be completed in late August and following the f inal inspection will be ready to house planes.

“This is just a part of ongoing upgrades to the facility,” Vicari said.

In addition, improvements to the main runway’s lighting system recently were completed.

“The lighting improvements for the main runway will improve safety for pilots coming into and leaving the airport,” Vicari said. “Whether it’s for public safety or to help our economic efforts, the Ocean County Airport is

an important facility providing an integral service in Ocean County.”

Vicari noted the new r unway lighting system replaced a system that was more than 20 years old and had been scheduled for replacement.

“We applied for federal funding for 90 percent of the cost of the replacement project and for state funding for five percent of the total cost,” Vicari said.

The project cost was about $810,000 and the design work, funded also by federal and state grants was completed earlier this month.

The project included the installation of high inten-

sity runway/threshold edge lights and high intensity flush mounted runway edge lights.

“This airpark is an important element of the county’s transportation program,” said Vicari. “It’s essential the facilities be kept current and at up-to-date standards.”

Ocean Aircraft Storage, a partner with the county’s fixed based operator, Ocean Aire, is expected to operate the new t-hangar which will consist of a eight unit building located adjacent to the existing t-hangar buildings.

“The county developed a land lease with Ocean Aircraft Storage that will allow for the construction of the new t-hangar building,” Vicari said. “Ocean Aircraft Storage is constructing the t-hangar building at its own cost and expense.”

A lease agreement for the t-hangar construction has

been signed with Ocean Aircraft Storage. Under the agreement, the lease will be for a 10-year term with an option of two additional 10-year terms. In addition, the County will receive annually 15 percent of the gross revenue or $5,000, whichever is higher.

“We are working in partnership with the fixed base operator to minimize any cost to the County,” Vicari said. “Ocean Aircraft Storage is paying for the construction and we will derive a revenue as a result of this new building.”

The County has four t-hangar buildings consisting of 36 individual units currently located at the airport.

Vicari added the new hangar is consistent with the Airport Capital Improvement Program and the Pinelands Memorandum of Agreement.

“These hangars are im-

por tant to the air por t,” Vicari said. “Many visitors to the County own second homes here and are looking for a place to keep their private planes.

“This helps with our tourism efforts,” Vicari said.

Vicari added the airport, located on 420 acres in Berkeley Township about five miles west of Toms River, provides a central location for a host of public safety services.

The precision approach facility features a 6,000foot runway, a crosswind runway, and accommodates various aircraft, including private airplanes, small corporate jets, the state Forest Fire Service planes, the Civil Air Patrol and Emergency Services aircraft.

Since 1990, Ocean County has received more than $23 million in federal and state funding for airport improvements.

By Chase Temple Even on the darkest and gloomiest of days, every cloud has a silver lining. While the State of New Jersey has been utterly plagued by the evil forces of addiction in recent years, the Garden State has shown glimmering signs of hope in the battle against addiction.

It is easy to be blinded by all the negativity that is encompassed in the term “addiction.”

From the horror stories you read in the newspaper of teen overdoses, celebrity relapses, or even the illogical disregard for the drug epidemic by our federal government officials, there are signs everywhere of the havoc that addiction wreaks on families.

What’s important to acknowledge right now is that it is the utterly complex nature of the mental/physical illness of addiction that suffocates the lives of those affected and makes it so difficult for them to escape. But although it is challenging, it is by no means impossible to beat the disease. There is a way out.

Metaphorically speaking, drug addiction in people works similarly to how gardeners tend to weeds that grow on their property. If the root of the weed isn’t fully removed from the soil, the weed will continue to keep growing back. The same theory applies to addicts, for if individuals do not address the underlying root of the issue, the symptoms will always be present and the addict will continue to be at risk of chronic relapse.

Like addiction, recovery is also a complex, multi-layered process. There are many programs, steps, and principles that an addict can follow and use as tools to lead them out of the painful life that results from drug addiction. Some of these approaches to the recovery process can actually make it more incomprehensible than it truly needs to be.

The Alcoholics Anonymous program, with its twelve steps, and the various treatment programs and facilities that base themselves around these specific philosophies is one well known avenue. What you may not have heard of though, is a route to recovery with multiple vehicles, pathways, and navigation tools unlike any before.

Enter SMART Recovery and CFC Loud N’ Clear Foundation 501(c)(3). The program, which I like to refer to as the “Siri” of recovery organizations, knows exactly how to fill in the blanks, cross the T’s, and dot the I’s when it comes to post-treatment care for clients.

For them, it is simple. Address the underlying root, and pull the weed. Through various life skills building workshops, SMART Recovery meetings, career building programs, educational presentations, meditation/yoga classes, community volunteerism, family recovery planning, and even recovery coach certification courses, CFC Loud N’ Clear offers its members numerous outlets in order for them to thrive as people in recovery and equips them with the necessary tools to address the

underlying causes of their addiction.

Not only does the Foundation offer two sober living homes for its members to continue their recovery in a safe environment, but its program also incorporates sober activities into its weekly agenda in order to create a fun and fresh outlook of the drug-free social experience. With over 2,500 people placed into treatment, 350+ members placed into recovery, 300+ Narcan trained community members, and 145+ certified recovery coaches, CFC Loud N’ Clear Foundation is addiction’s latest kryptonite.

With a correlated force of camaraderie, combined with a potent sense of hope, this organization is undoubtedly distinct. Because of its unique perspective and philosophy, sober individuals who are linked to CFC Loud N’ Clear Foundation immediately gain an advantage in becoming successful in their recovery. When immersed into the CFC culture, members are provided with mindfulness, self-care, and addiction education tools in order to create a balanced, drug-free existence.

This group also firmly believes in ‘real life exposure, clean and sober.’ Because a large part of recovery is reintegrating into society and dealing with the public norm, the directors of the program emphasize the importance of fully engaging in social situations with other people in recovery where alcoholic beverages are served in order to teach them how to deal with these situations in a safe, secure, and responsible way. On September 16, members will get a chance to be exposed to this type of situation as they help support the Foundation’s “Rock the Farm: Faux-Chella” music festival fundraiser in Seaside Heights.

Although alcoholic beverages will be served, sober members will stand strong and proud in recovery while still being able to enjoy everything the festival has to offer, including food trucks, street vendors, yoga, meditation, and drum circles. All proceeds from the sale of alcoholic beverages at Rock The Farm will be donated to the Seaside Heights Business Association.

The foundation’s philosophy is “power with purpose, stand in your truth and give back.”

They echo this in all that they do. By creating an environment that provides many roads to recovery, without judgment of opinion, identity, or choice, it allows members the freedom to annihilate their addiction in a unique and individualistic approach.

Although recovery may be a complicated process, it is never unattainable for an addict, no matter how hopeless the situation may seem. And although we may never find an absolute cure for the illness of addiction, one thing is evident. Recovery works, and so does CFC Loud N’ Clear Foundation.

Esteem Hearing Implant If you’ve been looking for a long-term solution for your hearing loss– one that bypasses the maintenance and inconvenience of daily hearing aid wear– we like to educate you about the revolutionary Esteem® Hearing Implant. Look and feel your best with the confidence of hearing assistance that’s invisible, that’s with you 24/7 and that works in all conditions – even underwater. All with no fragile, external instruments to wear like the BAHA or Cochlear Implant.

Esteem is the only FDA-approved, fully implanted, active middle-ear hearing device. It works by electronically sensing sound at the eardrum, processing and amplifying that sound to suit your specific needs, then directing the sound to the cochlea through the chain of tiny bones in the inner ear.

Because Esteem works with your ears’ natural mechanism for receiving sound, it does not use a speaker or an artificial microphone. As a result, the background

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

I Bet I Can Make You Yawn

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Last week I forced myself to stay up two nights in a row to work. I certainly had work to do, but I also wanted to evaluate my brain function after sleep deprivation.

The following morning, I was yawning quite a bit while sharing the story with Sam. He jokingly snapped, “Hey, stop that! You’re making me yawn!”

I thought that was hilarious and kept my eye on him for several minutes, and sure enough, when I yawned, he yawned. Yawns are known to be “contagious,” especially if you are emotionally connected with one another. Did I get you to yawn just yet?

Saying the word out loud or reading “yawn” triggers a yawn. They’re usually satisfying in nature, and if they’re not, it is thought to be your subconscious inability to let go. One yawn lasts about 6 seconds and during that time, your heart probably beats faster.

A yawn does not really happen just because you’re bored or tired. I mean it could, but it doesn’t have to. For decades, doctors said it was your brain’s attempt to pull more oxygen in for the tissues. Research on animals published in The International Journal of Applied Basic Medical Research in June 2017 points to yawning as a way to drain lymph from around the brain. That’s interesting because we are only now realizing the brain actually has a lymphatic system.

We, meaning humans, yawn in the womb, and yes, it’s boring in there for sure, but around 11 to 20 weeks post-conception, it can be seen on ultrasound. Another interesting fact about yawning is that medica-

tions can cause it. For example, one of the biggest offenders is the category of antidepressants, especially the SSRIs and SNRIs like Prozac and Cymbalta, respectively.

Benzodiazepines (clonazepam, alprazolam) and opiate analgesics (hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine) will often trigger yawning attacks – it’s a well-documented side effect during normal treatment. It’s more apt to happen during ‘interdose withdrawal’ (the hours in-between your scheduled doses of the day), or more likely when you quit taking these drugs, which requires a long tapering process.

Yawning attacks induced from antidepressants, benzos and opiates are almost always annoying and uncomfortable.

Anesthetics used to sedate you before surgery can cause yawning. And a big yawn-inducing category are the dopaminergic used in Parkinson’s such as L-dopa or Levodopa (Sinemet contains that) or Apokyn (Apomorphine).

Did you know that the complete disappearance of yawns could indicate damage to your hypothalamus? It’s specifically damage to the dopaminergic (dopamine-producing) neurons. This is why Parkinson’s patients yawn less frequently.

Likewise, the effectiveness of Parkinson’s drug therapy can actually be gauged if the patient begins to yawn again.

Some researchers think you yawn more if you are depressed. I’m not really convinced of that. Confirming this is difficult because depressed folks often have insomnia, so they are going to naturally be more fatigued during the day, and probably yawn more too.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Overly Friendly Neighbors

Dear Joel, My wife and I have lived in our home for 45 years and love our neighbors, but they recently moved to a senior living community. The new family that bought their house seem like very nice people, except that they belong to a different faith that they always want to “share” with me. I want to be a good neighbor, but how can I get along with them when I feel like screaming “shut up” when they start trying to convert me?

Dennis, Forked River Dear Dennis, In the big picture of all the bad things that could have happened with new neighbors, this may not be the worst one. Can you imagine if they threw crazy parties every weekend, blasting music and slamming car doors? What if they left garbage and litter all around, or started doing big renovations with saws

and hammers going all day? I know someone trying to convert you may make you want to run and hide, but tell them simply that you have lived in your home for 45 years and that you and your previous neighbor agreed to never talk about politics or religion. Remind them that the best expression of any religion lies in the actions taken by its faithful followers. Tell them too that you appreciate their consideration and that you will be sure to reach out to them if you are ever curious. Then practice what you preach by sharing a friendly smile whenever you see them.

They are probably nice folks who will get the message in just a little while.

American Heart Association Seeks Nominations For Shoreline Heart Walk Lifestyle Change Awards

www.thebluedagger.com

www.TheBlueDagger.com

NEW JERSEY – All across Monmouth and Ocean Counties, individuals, families and groups are deciding to live Healthy For GoodTM by making changes to their lifestyle. Starting an exercise program, reducing stress levels, incorporating better eating habits, quitting smoking and managing blood pressure and cholesterol are just a few examples of the many ways that people are getting healthy.

The American Heart Association is seeking nominations for the Shoreline Heart Walk Lifestyle Change Award, which is locally sponsored by New Jersey Natural Gas. The award recognizes people or groups who have made changes that have impacted their quality of life and improved their health. Nominations will be accepted through Friday, August 4 and winners will be recognized at the Shoreline Heart Walk on Sunday, October 1 at the Asbury Park Boardwalk.

Heart Walk, locally sponsored by Hackensack Meridian Health, Coral Harbor, Mid-Atlantic Surgical Associates, RWJ Barnabas Health and VNA Health Group, is part of the American Heart Association’s new Healthy For Good movement which encourages Americans to lead healthier lives by delivering science-based recom-

mendations, tools, tips and motivation to build healthier behaviors. Held in more than 305 communities throughout the U.S., the Heart Walk is designed to promote healthy lifestyles while raising funds to save lives from this country’s No. 1 and No. 5 killers – heart disease and stroke.

The Healthy For Good movement is based on four pillars: Eat Smart. Add Color. Move More. Be Well. According to the American Heart Association, less than 1 percent of Americans meet the association’s definition of ideal cardiovascular health, primarily due to poor diet. In the U.S., about two in three adults and one in three children are overweight or obese. Around 45 percent of adults are not sufficiently active to receive health benefits and about one in three adults participate in NO leisure time physical activity.

Nominations for the Lifestyle Change Award can be submitted by friends, co-workers or relatives or individuals can nominate themselves. Please note that in order to be considered, individuals must be non-smokers or smoke-free for a minimum of six months. Nomination forms are available at ShorelineHeartWalk.org or by calling the American Heart Association at 609-223-3711.

By Michael Deem, Esq. at R.C. Shea And Associates

People put their elderly parent or grandparent in a nursing home so that they can be safely taken care of, so that someone can properly look after them in their old age.

No one expects that these nursing home residents should get anything less than the proper care and respect that they deserve, but with the horrifying rise in nursing care abuse, this is not always the case. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse in the United States, more than 30 percent of all nursing homes in America indulge in some form of resident abuse.

Statistics show that nearly 50 percent of all nursing homes are short staffed. The staff people who do work in these facilities are underpaid, overworked, and all too often overburdened, which in turn leads to elder neglect and abuse.

Even more alarming is the prediction that the problem will only worsen in the near future. More than 91 percent of nursing homes lack adequate staff to properly care for patients. A Health and Human Services Department report found patients in understaffed nursing homes were more likely to suffer from a variety of problems, such as bed sores, malnutrition, weight loss, dehydration, pneumonia, and serious blood born infections. It’s a serious concern that will only increase with time, given that the population of people aged 85 or older is expected to double to 8.9 million by the year 2030.

Signs of abuse and neglect may be (but are not limited to) evidence such as patterns of bruising, unexplained injuries, frequent infections, bedsores, questionable hygiene, appearance of malnutrition, emotional distress, and unsanitary living conditions. Document any such evidence you observe, and

OIL & PROPANE

bring it to the attention of your attorney. Neglect can be just as harmful in the long run as abuse, leading to additional health problems and possibly death.

Nursing home abuse isn’t limited to physical abuse; there can also be emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse, where an elder is demeaned or humiliated in other ways.

Many elders needlessly suffer from nursing home abuse in which they are manipulated, humiliated, or physically harmed by the very people entrusted with providing them with loving and tender care. Instances of physical, sexual and verbal abuse have taken place at the very nursing homes where elders are actually supposed to be well taken care of; unfortunately, cases of nursing home abuse in America and also in New Jersey are rising rather than falling.

If you think a loved one is the victim of Nursing Home Abuse call the trial attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free consultation to discuss their rights.

The Jackson Times, July 22, 2017, Page 21

BUSINESS PROFILE DISCOUNT TIRE CENTER 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.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of July 22 - July 28

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep your finger off the trigger in the week ahead. You could be tempted to put too many irons in the fire or to take unnecessary risks. Focus instead on spending your money wisely and on things of lasting beauty.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): People are willing to forgive and forget in the week to come.

Use your time wisely and focus on making loved ones feel comfortable, cherished, and desirable.

Demonstrate your good taste when making key purchases.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Reiterate important commitments. In the upcoming week you may be thrown into contact with someone who seems to wear a halo or acts like an angel where you are concerned. You will have divine help when needed.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Touch your nose while you rub your tummy. Work on becoming better coordinated this week. The foot that seems to be caught in your mouth could be a sign that an apology to a significant someone will be needed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take pains to use powers of perception. Pushy people may want their way in the week ahead, but might lack the ability to explain their needs. To avoid confusion set up a powwow and you can discuss a comfortable compromise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Defend and protect what you own and what you believe in. Unless you guard an important thing someone may take it away from you. In the week ahead enjoy having some extra spending money to use for lovely items.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone loves you a bushel and a peck. In the week to come you might find that you are more popular than usual.

You efforts could be appreciated in the workplace, so may find it easy to make progress with your career.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Learn something valuable from those who are older and wiser. Be careful not to create misunderstandings with family members or loved ones who are an integral part of your life. Be thrifty in the week to come.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Solve the puzzle. A maze doesn’t necessarily lead to a dead end, although you might hit a few walls. In the week ahead ask for assistance or advice from experienced people who have traveled the same route.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Ignorance is bliss. Think about this carefully as you stroll through the week with a heavenly smile on your face. Being on cloud nine does not guarantee that the promise made today will be kept tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Everything has a price tag. This week you may be prodded by your conscience to show you are polite and return favors. A generous donation, reciprocal dinner date, or paying a commission can knock your budget on its ear.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may think it is in vogue to be vague. In the week ahead you may be challenged to present your views in a straightforward manner. Control an urge to spend money rashly or to take unnecessary risks.

Easy Does It: There’s No Sufferin’ Over This Simple Succotash Recipe

By Wolfgang Puck

Cooking with the seasons has become a big catchphrase these days. And it’s easy to understand why. When you plan meals around what’s freshest in the farmers’ market, you almost always ensure that the food you put on your table will have the best flavor and texture while also offering the most nutritional benefits - and all at the greatest savings.

Many people think of cooking with the seasons, though, as if those words also promise endless variety, as if each trip to the market will reveal wonderful new produce to bring fresh excitement to your meals. And, yes, often that does happen, as new items gradually come into season.

More often, however, in the midst of any given season, each new visit to the farmers’ market is just as likely to present you with the same ingredients over and over again. That can, of course, excite your imagination, encouraging you to look for new ways to cook the same ingredients. Just as often, however, it can make you wish for a perfect “go-to” recipe, something easy that you simply won’t grow tired of no matter how many times you prepare it.

That’s how I feel about succotash, the old-fashioned summertime vegetable mixture whose name comes from “boiled corn kernels” in the language of the Narragansett tribe, whose lands became part of Rhode Island. In colonial days, settlers began using that term to describe mixtures of cooked corn with other summer/early autumn vegetables. The dish’s popularity has endured to this day, despite any negative connotations from the often repeated, exasperated exclamation of Sylvester the Cat in the old Looney Tunes cartoons: “Sufferin’ succotash!”

Succotash is, in fact, a recipe not likely to cause you much suffering. It starts with fresh ears of corn, from which you cut the raw kernels off the cob with the help of a sharp knife and a slip-resistant cutting board. Then you saute the corn and combine it with equal-sized pieces of other summer vegetables such as zucchini and bell pepper, plus onion, garlic, celery, fresh herbs and spices.

It’s an incredible, simple dish to make, and one you and your family aren’t likely to tire of, especially since you can switch up the recipe with other vegetables such as lima beans or yellow summer squash, hot chiles and different herbs or spices.

Serve your succotash as a side for grilled or roasted food; or treat it as a sort of

chunky sauce, presenting the main dish on top of it. It’s even fun to toss the succotash with freshly cooked pasta for a vegetarian main dish. You may be surprised by how often you wind up cooking it - without a moment of sufferin’!

SUMMER VEGETABLE SUCCOTASH Serves 4 3 large ears white or yellow sweet corn, shucked, all corn silk removed 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice 2 celery stalks, darker green leafy ends trimmed, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice 1 medium white onion, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1/2 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves 1 bay leaf Juice of 1/2 lime Pinch cayenne Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley, for garnish First, cut the kernels from the shucked ears of corn: Steadying one end of an ear of corn on a slip-resistant cutting board, with the corn at an angle away from you, carefully use a sharp knife to cut off the kernels several rows at a time, cutting downward from the nearest end to the other, parallel to the cob. Transfer the kernels to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining ears of corn.

In a heavy cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough to flow easily, add the corn kernels and saute them, stirring frequently, until they begin turning golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes.

Transfer the corn to a bowl and set aside.

Carefully wipe out the skillet with paper towels.

Return the skillet to the heat. Heat the remaining olive oil and, when it is hot, add the zucchini, celery, bell pepper, onion and garlic.

Saute, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but not yet browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the thyme, bay leaf, lime juice, cayenne, salt and black pepper to taste, and continue to cook for 3 minutes more. Stir in the reserved sauteed corn kernels and cook for another 3 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with the parsley.
