Todd Frazier Now A New York Yankee
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Local star Todd Frazier will be moving closer to his hometown as a New York Yankee. Frazier, 31, who was playing for the Chicago White Sox, was acquired by the team this week, according to a press release from the Yankees. He was part of an exchange that carried teammates David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle to New York, and Chicago received Tyler Clippard, Ian Clarkin, Blake Rutherford and Tito Polo. Frazier was part of the internationally famous Toms River team that won the 1998 Little League Series. The Toms River South graduate was the No. 34 overall pick in the 2007 draft, heading to the Cincinnati Reds. He was traded to the White Sox in 2015. “It has been fun in Chicago, but I’m also excited to see what’s in store for me in New York,” Frazier said in an interview on ESPN.com. On his Twitter account, he wrote “Just want to thank the White Sox organization and the fans for making my family and me feel so welcomed. We truly appreciate it. What a great city. Now it’s on to the concrete jungle. Can’t wait. Definitely a dream come true. Let’s goooooo #yankeenation”

Kites Take Flight In Ortley
–Photos by Chris Lundy The wind was perfect for flying kites, and a few dozen people had their kites in the air at once. By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Kites swarmed in the sky over the Kites and Cones event in Ortley Beach. Organizers were optimistically referring to it as the “first annual” event, with the hopes of
bringing it back in future years. It was hosted by the Friends of Ortley Beach, a newly formed nonprofit civic organization with the goal of enriching the area with recreational, historical and cultural events.
“We believe in rebuilding houses but also rebuilding community,” said Gail D’A mico, vice president of the organization.

Wooden Boat Festival Sets Sail
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Sailors who love wooden boats know they have to do quite a lot of work to restore them. It was no different with the Wooden Boat Festival, which was smaller because it is a rebuilding year. The festival is usually moored at Huddy Park in downtown Toms River. Huddy Park was closed last year, so they had a smaller version of the event at de Rouville’s Boat Shop in Berkeley, on the other side of the Toms River. It is usually a judged contest, but not this year. The judge was recently in-

He is a trustee with the Toms River Seaport Society, which also operates a Maritime Museum near the intersection of Hooper Avenue and Water Street. Still, there were more than a dozen interesting boats on display. Everything from a tiny tug boat to a pirate ship replica (complete with pirates). There were also beautifully restored cruisers dating back as far as about 90 years. “We’ve got some of the best of the well restored sailboats and power boats on (Boat - See Page 5)

MERKEL CELL CARCINOMA
M
erkel cell carcinoma is also called neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. It tends to grow fast and to spread quickly to other parts of your body. SYMPTOMS
The first sign of Merkel cell carcinoma is a fastgrowing, painless red, blue or purple nodule on your skin, most commonly seen on the face, scalp or neck.
WHEN TO SEE A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER
If you notice a mole, freckle or bump that is changing in size, shape or color, growing rapidly, or bleeding easily after minor trauma, such as washing your skin or shaving, make an appointment with your healthcare provider.
RISK FACTORS Factors that may increase risk of Merkel cell carcinoma include:
Beautiful Skin at Any Age Medical Dermatology (Pediatric & Adult): • Abnormal Moles Comprehensive Skin Cancer • Pre-cancer Growths • Skin Cancer Screenings Available - Call Today! • Pimples • Scars • Viral & Fungal Infections • Itchy Flaky Scalp/Face • Eczema • Cracked Lips & Dry Skin • Itching, Sunburns & Blisters • Diaper Rash & Allergic Reactions • Rosacea • Skin Tags • Benign Growths...and and many others! Renata Flaks, DNP 707 Main Street • Toms River 732-244-2666 www.qualityderm.com Open Monday - Friday
QUALITY DERMATOLOGY Accepting Most Insurance Plans Accepting New Patients Same Day Emergency Appointments
• Excessive exposure to sun or tanning beds. • A weakened immune system including those with HIV infection, those taking drugs that suppress the immune response or those with chronic leukemia. • History of other skin cancers such as basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma. • Increasing age. This cancer is most common in people older than age 50, though it can occur at any age. • Light skin color. Merkel cell carcinoma usually arises in people who have light-colored skin.
COMPLICATIONS
Even with treatment, Merkel cell carcinoma commonly spreads (metastasizes) beyond the skin. Merkel cell carcinoma tends to travel first to nearby lymph nodes. Later it may spread to your brain, bones, liver or lungs, where it can interfere with the functioning of these organs. Cancer that has metastasized is more dicult to treat and can be fatal.

There were a number of high flying (and low spinning) rides this year. By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – Despite a patch of rough weather, the Ocean County Fair finished strongly, organizers said, as the sun came out on the weekend – the fair’s most important days. Fair manager Jeff Adams said that the weather didn’t keep people home entirely, it just changed what day they came.
Wednesday and Thursday had threatening thunderstorms and a heat advisory. Friday had rain 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 on the weekend. 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 (Fair - See Page 5)

Boat: Continued From Page 1 the east coast right here,” he said. There were other kinds of boats there, too. The Scale Ship Modelers Association of North America had a booth. In another area, kids were encouraged to race their own toy boats down a short strip of water. There were vendors setting up shop, selling boat parts and nautical themed decorations. Food vendors, artists, and crafts filled out the rest of the area.
The Toms River Times, July 22, 2017, Page 5 It was a place where enthusiasts could share their appreciation for their boats, and maybe get tips. There was discussion like “One side of the hull is disintegrating. How do I get that fixed?” The overcast weather, coming after days of rain, looked threatening although it stayed dry. Deeper into downtown Toms River was a concurrent festival, Summer In The Street. Starting in the afternoon, Washington Street would be filled with tents of people selling their wares, government offices looking to make connections, music and inflatable rides.

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 kettle corn, lemonade, cotton candy and deep fried anything.

From The Desk Of The Ocean County Freeholders: County Waiving Tire Recycling Fees To Combat Mosquitos
TOMS RIVER – Ocean County will temporarily waive its tire recycling fee in order to encourage old tire recycling and assist in the effort to curtail mosquito breeding grounds. “This is a program that is brought about by a partnership with the Ocean County Mosquito Extermination Commission and the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, who serves as liaison to the Mosquito Commission. “This will be particularly helpful now and throughout the summer as we move into the height of mosquito season in Ocean County.” The County, under an agreement with the Ocean County Mosquito Extermination Commission, will use $23,082 in funding from the 2017 Center for Disease Control ELC Capacity Building Efforts federal grant distributed through the state Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Mosquito Control Coordination, to waive the $2 tire recycling fee. The free tire recycling program will begin August 1 and will continue until the funds
are depleted. Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the county’s recycling program, said residents can drop off old tires at either of the county’s regional recycling centers. Tires can be brought to the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center, New Hampshire Avenue in Lakewood, or the Ocean County Southern Recycling Center, Recovery Road in Stafford Township, from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Residents will be limited to dropping off no more than five tires per day. “This program will help our efforts to be good environmental stewards and to reduce the risks of mosquito vectors known to transmit the Zika virus,” said Little, who also serves as liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “We need to be vigilant especially this time of year and raise awareness to help control the mosquito population for the health and safety of our residents.” The Ocean County Mosquito Extermination Commission was awarded the grant to support its activities in identifying and controlling mos-
quitoes with a particular emphasis on activities designed to monitor for and control any identified populations of exotic invasive mosquito vectors known to transmit Zika virus. “We are hopeful this program will help encourage our residents to clear their property of old tires and bring them to our recycling centers where they will be discarded properly, said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. Ocean County collects about 3,000 tires a year for recycling and anticipates that number to increase with the waiving of the fee. “The Ocean County Mosquito Extermination Commission maintains vigilance year-round in order to keep down the mosquito population,” said Freeholder Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety. “Successful mosquito extermination comes from a combined effort on the part of the County and also its citizens.” The Mosquito Extermination Commission employs an extensive surveillance program using light traps and landing rate counts that are collected around the County daily during the mosquito season
which typically runs from May 1 to September 30. Once locations are identified, there are several measures that can be used to control the mosquito population, depending upon the situation. The method is known as Integrated Pest Management. According to Michael Romanowski, commission superintendent, chemical application is one method with the main concentration on larvicide applications to control the pre-adult mosquito. There also are biological controls, such as mosquito predaceous fish or the use of copepods. Another possibility is source reduction whereby the habitat can be altered to prevent future mosquito production, he said. The commission uses its ground spray trucks, each equipped with power sprayers to apply larvicides. If the areas are very large, the commission has two helicopters to treat the areas aerially. However, most of the aerial applications are made on the county’s extensive salt marshes.
“Ocean County has long been known for its large numbers of salt marsh mosquitoes,” Romanowski said. “Through a process known as Open Marsh Water Management, the problematic salt marsh areas can be managed through the use of amphibious equipment, to eliminate the mosquito production without the use of pesticides. Once completed, the areas become more useful to other members of the tidal food web, and remain in that state indefinitely.” While Ocean County looks at the bigger picture in controlling the mosquito population, the Freeholders strongly urge residents to get involved with helping to reduce the population especially by eliminating areas that can act as breeding grounds on private property. “Since many breeds of mosquitoes use containers like discarded tires that are commonly found around populated areas, eliminating the sources of water is often the best approach to controlling this mosquito population,” said Kelly, who also serves
as a commissioner on the Mosquito Extermination Commission. “Extermination commission workers often pickup tires as they treat areas for mosquitoes. These mosquitoes can often be found in water amounts as small as that of a bottle cap.” Other common problematic areas are planter bases, tarps, garbage pails, and the many other water containers found around the home or business. “Most of our residents do not realize just how extensive our mosquito extermination program is,” said Kelly. “We take this threat very seriously and work to make certain our residents and visitors are safe from mosquitoes and the ongoing threat they may pose.” Residents who have questions about mosquitoes and concerns can contact the commission by calling 609698-8271, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 pm. For additional tips, visit the commission website at oceancountymosquito.org. For more information on the tire recycling program, call 1-800-55-RECYCLE.

21-Gun Salute Shell Donated
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – A shell from a 21-gun salute fired at a funeral for a local soldier whose remains were recently identified was donated to the county historical society. First Class Machinist’s Mate Earl R. Melton, Lakewood, was serving on the USS Oklahoma, when it was sank during the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. He was 24. The bodies were placed in a mass grave after they were recovered, because there was no way, in 1941, to identify them all, Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari explained at the most recent Ocean County Freeholder’s meeting.
Since then, technology has advanced to the point where forensic scientists could identify people’s remains. So, the grave was opened. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia on June 28. Ed McBride, a Marine who works in the consumer affairs department and works with POW/ MIA causes, and John Dorrity, director of the county’s Veterans Service Bureau, attended the ceremony on behalf of the county. A relative of Melton’s collected one of the shells from his 21-gun salute and gave it to Dorrity. Dorrity said he decided that it belonged to the county, and donated it to the historical society.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
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 noise, distortion and feedback commonly experienced with hearing aids are greatly reduced. With Esteem you hear more naturally, without any uncomfortable blockages of the ear canal. Early patients are reporting positive results with Esteem and are greatly enjoying more natural, improved hearing, not to mention freedom from the daily routine of wearing hearing aids. With nothing to wear, nothing to lose and the benefit of low-maintenance, waterproof hearing assistance, people are living their active lives with better hearing more fully than they have in years. Call Dr. Izzy to find out if the Esteem Hearing Implant is right for you. Not all patients are candidates for Esteem, so call today to find out if this amazing technology might be an option for you! Please keep in mind that not all patients are candidates for the Esteem. Please go to esteemhearing.com for important safety information on the Esteem.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
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. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Educating Our Community On Nursing Home Abuse 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

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 law firm of R.C.

OCEAN, MONMOUTH ALL-STARS FACE OFF
By Chris Christopher WEST LONG BRANCH – Chase Stephensen, clutching an award, was surrounded by family and friends. The recent Lacey Township High School graduate received hugs, handshakes and kisses at midfield after being named the Defensive Most Valuable Player of the game for the Ocean County All-Stars after their 17-8 loss to the Monmouth County All-Stars in the 40th annual All-Shore Gridiron Classic at Shore Regional. “The award means I hopefully will have a lot of success when I play in college,” said Stephensen, who will play for Kutztown University. “The rest of the defense helped me a lot. My coaches put me in the right spots. The biggest things were to play in my last high school game in front of my family and friends, put on big hits and do my job.” Stephensen played strong safety for Ocean. “I had to cover the other team’s tight end,” he said. With 3:14 left in the first half, Stephensen recovered a fumble at the Ocean 1-yard line. “Nick Page (of Toms River South) knocked the ball loose and it was on the ground,” Stephensen said. “I saw it on the ground. A couple of guys dove for the ball and I pounced on it.” Stephensen pounced on his chance to play for Kutztown. “I talked to a couple of guys and they enjoyed it there,” he said. “They won their conference last year. When I visited the school, it felt like home to me. I went to a couple of camps there and I felt it was what college should feel like.” Stephensen, a 6-foot, 215-pounder, played three years of varsity ball for the Lions under coach Lou Vircillo. “It’s definitely sad to wear the Lacey helmet for the last time,” he said. “I have played football in Lacey since the age of seven, beginning in Pop Warner. I am excited for
what’s ahead – college football. It was a privilege for me to play for Lacey and to play in this game.” Ocean coach L.J. Clark, the Lakewood Piners’ mentor, said he enjoyed working with Stephensen, recruited as a hybrid linebacker-safety. “He’s tough,” Clark said. “He brings it in every game. I saw him play in (Shore Conference) Class B South during the regular season last fall and he brings his hard hat to work. It was a pleasure to coach him this week. He’s a great kid. He’s a super competitor.” Adi Palmer, who starred for Lakewood, was named Ocean’s Offensive Most Valuable Player after catching five passes for 55 yards. Marlboro running back Cameron Caorsi was honored as Monmouth’s Offensive Most Valuable Player after rushing for a Classic single-game record 179 yards and one touchdown on 26 carries, turning the artificial surface of Robert E. Feeney Field into a greyhound track. Caorsi will attend Brookdale Community College, which does not have a football team. Keyport player Zach Frick was named Monmouth’s Defensive Most Valuable Player. Monmouth, which led the game from start to finish, took a 6-0 lead with 1:49 left in the first quarter when running back Paul Reed of Asbury Park caught a 5-yard screen pass on the left sideline from St. John Vianney’s Matt DeGennaro. Freehold Township’s Tyler Schulman kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead after Monmouth drove 60 yards on 12 plays. Schulman pushed the lead to 10-0 with a 29-yard field goal with 8:59 to go in the first half. Caorsi made it 16-0 with 10:44 left in the third quarter, scoring on a 3-yard touchdown run; Schulman’s PAT put Monmouth up 17-0. Ocean sliced its deficit to 17-6 with 4:12 to
go in the game when Anthony Costanza of Brick Township tossed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Hayden Frey of Point Pleasant Boro. Costanza connected on a pass to Central Regional’s Mike Bickford for the two-point conversion, producing the final score. GRID GOSSIP: Caorsi broke the record of 161 yards set by Joe (The Jet) Henderson of Freehold in 1986. Monmouth, which leads the series 21-181, snapped Ocean’s three-game winning streak. Former Brick Township assistant coach Bob Spada and ex-Matawan mentor Butch Britton were inducted into the Shore Coaches Football Foundation Hall of Fame during a halftime ceremony. Spada was a part of 18 Brick championships. The SCFC presented the game. The game’s public address announcer was Tommy Farrell, a former Monsignor Donovan (now Donovan Catholic) player. “I can’t believe it’s been four years since I played in the same game and served as a captain for Ocean County,” the former Griffin said on his Facebook page. Farrell’s father, Tom, is the superintendent of the Shore Regional High School District. He played and coached football for the Griffins. He coached football at New Egypt where he served as principal before becoming a Shore administrator. Young Farrell played football for the Griffins. Carol Frank Brown and her husband, Donovan Brown, hosted a fettuccine dinner at their Brick home during the several days of practice prior to the game. It was for Brick players and their Ocean County teammates. “It was so much fun to see them together as friends and not as foes!” Frank Brown said on her Facebook page. “Lots of laughs!! Go Ocean!!!” Ocean assistant coach Len Zdanowicz Jr., the Brick Green Dragons’ mentor, participated in his sixth Classic with six of his
players. Zdanowicz Jr. played center for Ocean, representing the Green Dragons in 1990. “I look back on the numerous friendships that I made with my ‘sworn enemies’ from neighboring towns and feel so grateful for the opportunity given to me by my coaches,” he said. “Thank you coach Wolf (Warren Wolf, then Brick’s head coach), Jim Calabro and Kevin Campbell (Brick assistant coaches).” SCORING SUMMARY Monmouth: Reed 5 pass from DeGennaro (Schulman kick) Monmouth: Schulman 29 field goal Monmouth: Caorsi 3 run (Schulmann kick) Ocean: Frey 12 pass from Costanza (Bickford from Costanza) STATISTICS First downs: Ocean 9, Monmouth 13 Yards rushing: Ocean 26-54, Monmouth 48-218 Passes attempted: Ocean 15, Monmouth 19 Passes completed: Ocean 10, Monmouth 11 Passing yardage: Ocean 119, Monmouth 85 Intercepted by, return yardage: Ocean 0-0, Monmouth Hazard 2-0 Punts: Ocean 3-32, Monmouth 0-0 Penalties: Ocean 2-30, Monmouth 0-0 Fumbles: Ocean 2, Monmouth 1 Fumbles lost: Ocean 1, Monmouth 1 Individual rushing: Ocean: Costanza 1548, Bickford 6-8, McCall 2-(-1),Cammarata 3-(-1).

Jersey Native Turns Movie Maker
By Sara Grillo HOWELL – From Jersey to L.A. and back again, Kevin Interdonato is a local movie star about to release his newest hit, which he stars in alongside Hollywood veteran Tom Sizemore, former boxing champion Ray “Boom-Boom” Mancini and Brian O’Halloran of Clerks fame. Interdonato said he always knew he wanted to act. “Growing up in Howell I always wanted to be an actor, I just wasn’t ready yet. I had to get a lot out of my system.” That meant growing up working in the family construction business, which his dad still runs, joining the Army National Guard his senior year at Howell High School and taking a couple semesters at Brookdale Community College. He started to study acting when he was 20, but had to hit the brakes in 2004 when he was called to a year-long tour of duty in Iraq. He served in a unit nicknamed “The Sadr City Dogs,” named for Sadr City, the worst ghetto of Baghdad, where he saw heavy combat. After returning home safely, he said he wasn’t sure he still wanted to act. “It took some time, but I found my stride again, and eventually found my way back into the film business,” he said. Aside from many independent films, he also appeared in shows such as The Sopranos, Law & Order, CSI: NY and How To Get Away With Murder. After that, Interdonato said he had to make a choice and decided set out for Los Angeles in 2010 to continue acting and also start writing and producing, among what he described as an endless sea of other actors. “You’re surrounded by nothing but actors. It’s like people come from all over the world to go to L.A. to succeed,” he said. Ironically, his latest film Bad Frank, which he starred in, co-wrote and produced, was filmed in New Jersey near Morristown. The film tells the story of Frank Pierce, who at first seems to lead a calm and normal life. But when past memories come to the surface and something very valuable to him is taken, he is faced with the urge to be violent once again. Interdonato said he got the offer to play the role first, and then helped rewrite the script and produce the project, before bringing some friends on board as actors and production people. He said what started out as a low budget film has been really blowing up. It’s the first movie he’s both written and produced, although certainly not the last.
–Photo courtesy Kevin Interdonato Kevin Interdonato grew up in Howell, but moved out to L.A. to pursue his passion for acting and the movie business. Bad Frank won 20 Best Actor awards and nominations at various film festivals throughout the U.S. and Europe, and also won big in London, which grabbed the attention of another filmmaker and landed him a role in the film False Witness, which just wrapped up in April. The movie trailer for Bad Frank was released July 7 on Amazon and iTunes. It will also hit Redbox soon. What’s Next? Interdonato has another film, Dirty Dead Con Men, coming out this fall, which he also wrote and produced, alongside his wife. He’s also recently been cast in the film Asbury Park, which is being filmed this fall in – you guessed it – Asbury Park. As for any writing projects? He’s working on Brusco, which he hopes to be shooting next year in Howell and the surrounding area. “I’m attracted to the work more than any specific genre,” he said, adding that he tends to get pegged for more “edgier” roles than anything else. “For the most part, this business is based on how you look.” While he said there’s still a lot of work to be had out in L.A., he and his wife, who he met there, will be splitting their time between the best of both worlds – La La Land and New Jersey.

–Photos courtesy Jackson Elks Motorcyclists took a scenic ride to the William C. Doyle Memorial Cemetery. By Sara Grillo JACKSON – Motorcyclists braved tornado warnings and early morning rain, but ended up with a great turnout for this year’s Motorcycle Ride & BBQ. The Jackson Elks hosted this year’s event, but it’s a collaboration between many local Elks – including Brick, Bayville, Toms River, Freehold, Lacey and Manahawkin – who are all part of the New Jersey State Elks Veterans Committee. The event is a yearly one, offering more than just great food, live music and camaraderie, but a fundraiser that goes toward helping local homeless veterans. For the fi rst three years of the ride, the group was able to raise $7,000. Last year, that number was blown out of the water as riders and BBQ-goers raised a whopping $18,000. Although there were fewer motorcycles this year due to the rain, Joe LaMonica with the Jackson Elks said “preliminary accounting” shows it’s possible that number could still be beat. Motorcyclists took a scenic ride to the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Memorial Cemetery, which is about a 20 minute ride from Jackson. A quick ceremony was done in honor of veterans, “Taps” was played and then the group

rode back to the lodge for the BBQ. “We don’t care whether you ride, take a car, it doesn’t matter to us,” said LaMonica. Another part of the day set a more emotional tone. LaMonica said that if you walk into an Elks Lodge, you might fi nd a small table set in the corner neatly, with one chair and one plate, set up for one person. It’s meant to symbolize the soldiers who never made it back. “There’s a whole ceremony to it. It’s very moving,” he said. The Missing Man Ceremony was performed by Jackson Am-Vets Commander Roy Mallot, to the tune of a bagpiper, as he explained what each item on the table was and what it meant. A BBQ followed at the Jackson Elks Lodge that brought out a huge crowd to enjoy ribs and chicken, hot dogs and hamburgers, drinks, vendors and classic rock music by the Mangos. Next year will be the 6th year the event raises money for local homeless veterans.

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.
