Lakehurst Is Rocking Out This Summer
Second Mailing For Energy Aggregation Program
By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – As residents are beginning to see their first savings from the township’s energy aggregation program that began on June 1, Council President Samuel Fusaro said that not all residents were included in the initial mailing about the cost saving program. He said that initially, it was thought that some residents assumed the letter they received in the mail was marketing spam and not information from the township, so they threw it away by accident. That turned out not to be the case. “A number of Manchester residents did not get the initial letter that talked about the energy aggregation program,” said Fusaro at a recent (Energy - See Page 5)

Sierra Club Leader Remembered

Auriemma had gone m issi ng week s ago wh ile h i k i ng alone in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. He was found dead, apparently of natural
causes. There had been reports of a powerful storm that had blown through there while he was camping. He was credited for restarting the Ocean Cou nt y chapt e r 20

Continued From Page 1 The Manchester Recreation Facebook page posted a st at us update on the mor ning of July 23 (a Sunday) that Harry Wright Lake would be closed for swimming until further notice. “With the high temperatures and lack of rain the water testing results are above the limits allowed for swimming. Hopefully this rain will help raise the water level and get the water moving. Feel free to call the Recreation office at any time for the status of the lake,” explained the Recreation Department around 10 a.m. According to Councilman Charles Frattini, Sr., the Ocean County Health Department did an inspection on July 18 and then closed the lake the day after. On the following Thursday it was checked again, and then checked every day after, but remained closed to residents. “It’s not the geese that closed it, it was the lack of rain and the heat, no water f low and the fecal count came up very high,” said Frattini.

issue. Council President Samuel Fusaro said they could look into the option of putting an aerator in, but added that it might not help that much. Councilman Frattini said that Mayor Kenneth Palmer and Tracey Lynch, who runs the town’s Recreation Department, were going down to the lake to that day to inspect it themselves. “Hopefully with the rain we received last night (on July 23) there’s a chance it could be opened within the next day or two – we hope it will be,” said Frattini. Last summer, on August 22, the beaches were also closed. Back then, geese feces and low rain fall were named as culprits. The lake had also been closed on July 22 that summer. Councilman Frattini said this week that a company called Geese Chasers LLC, which was contracted by the township, has been patrolling the lakes using dogs that chase the geese from away from water on the banks. He noted that geese, at least, are no longer the problem that they used to be. The county maintains the results of its testing and any current advisories on its website, ochd.org/WaterReports.

Stavalo, who also shared her disappointment on the Manchester Recreation Facebook page after their update, took the opportunity to speak at a recent council meeting, saying she was upset that nothing was posted about the lake’s closure until Sunday. She had driven to the lake on Friday only to find out that it was not open. “There were numerous people who went there without even k nowing it was closed,” said Stavalo, adding what a hassle it is to pack up the family for the trip, then go home and unpack, just to be left with disappointed kids. In the Facebook status update, the Recreation Department advised residents to call the Recreation Office to find out if the lakes are open, which prompted her to question what the point of having social media is. She said part of the problem is the parents, as she has seen some allow their children to use the bathroom in the lake on numerous occasions. “Everyone blames the seagulls. It’s not the seagulls – it’s the human beings,” she said. Stavalo recommended adding some kind of filtration system to combat the

Lakehurst Presbyterian Church To Host VBS
–Photo by Sara Grillo The Lakehurst Presbyterian Church is hosting a Vacation Bible School. By Chris Lundy LAKEHURST – The Lakehurst Presbyterian Church will be hosting a “Blast Into The Past Vacation Bible School” on August 14 and 15, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event is appropriate for children entering kindergarten through 5th grade. Kids will “travel through time” to Biblical times,
sharing stories, experiments, crafts and snacks. The underlying theme is to show the difference God’s love makes every day. Parents are encouraged to register before Aug. 9 so that the church has a head count for snacks and materials. If not, registration begins at 5 p.m. on Aug. 14. Please register by calling 732-657-5211.

the program. Previously, the program was on an “opt out” basis, where residents were automatically signed up and only needed to take action if they did not wish to join the program. The energy aggregation program means that residents receive electricity from a third party company rather than Jersey Central Power and Light. JCP&L still transmits the electricity and maintains the lines, but TriEagle Energy supplies the electricity. Township officials said that the overall cost savings from JCP&L is 15.6 percent. For more information on the energy aggregation program, visit manchestertwp. com/energy.
Continued From Page 1 council meeting. Fusaro said that Jersey Central Power and Light apparently had some overlaps between Manchester and other towns, which led to 400 to 500 residences not being included in the initial mailing. Many are in the Renaissance at Manchester, and some are in the Ridgeway area. JCP&L is now working to put a new list together and the township will be sending out a second batch of letters soon. Because it is not the initial letter, it will now be an “opt in” process and residents will need to call a phone number if they wish to join

There were smaller issues, too, such as beach clean-ups and hikes that he was a part of. When Brick was deciding on purchasing Trader’s Cove, Auriemma was on the fore-
front of that, and continued to be involved when developers wanted to put a restaurant there, Tittel recalled. He also helped the Metedeconk River be classified as Category One by the state. This protects the river from “any measurable changes in water quality” because of the river’s importance in local ecology, water use, fishing, or recreation. He also spoke out against the Eagle Ridge development plan that could put as many as 1,800 homes on a former golf course in Lakewood. “When you drive around Ocean County and you see open space and see the shimmer on the water, that’s his legacy,” Tittel said.

Summer:
Continued From Page 1 movement created by one woman who, as a hobby, started painting and dropping rocks on the beach in Cape Cod. After she started getting messages from strangers about how happy finding the rocks made them, she encouraged them to join her. The rest is history. Debby Pease is responsible for bringing The Kindness Rocks Project to Lakehurst. A few months ago, a friend added her to the Toms River Rocks Facebook page, where the movement has really kicked off. When she and her family were recently in Downtown Toms River for the Summer in the Street festival, they found out that a painted rock had been hidden nearby. She asked her nine-year-old daughter Molly if she wanted to look for it. Pease said that when Molly found it, her face lit up, and she immediately wanted to look for more rocks. In just over a week, the Lakehurst Rocks Facebook page already has over 100 followers. Although still in its early stages, Pease and her daughter Molly painted 20 rocks last weekend alone and hid them around the lakes, ballfields, firehouses, local businesses, the post office and borough hall in town. And she’s not alone. Heather Cramer from Lakehurst florist Colonial Bouquet and her sons Tommy, 11, and Hayden, 7, have been painting their share of rocks, too. Cramer said they put one on the steps of borough hall, which is now gone, and another, painted to look like video game controller, on the ledge of Mrs. Walkers Ice Cream Parlor. “It gives them something to do – it’s different,” she said, adding that her kids were really into
The Manchester Times, July 29, 2017, Page 7 the Pokémon GO craze last year, but it fizzled out since they don’t have their own phones yet. This is something where the kids can just go out in the neighborhood and have fun looking around. She said her son Hayden is the creative one in the family who loves painting and drawing, and is really spearheading the whole project. It’s not just about the convenience of location, either. “I feel that Lakehurst has a lot of untapped potential,” said Pease, who is a 10-year resident of the town and very active in the community. “We have so much to offer people. So many people don’t know that we have a lake, ice cream parlor, fudge store, countless pizza parlors, really great restaurants,” she added. Pease plans to have a table set up at Lakehurst’s National Night Out event on August 1 to talk about the Lakehurst Rocks project and get more people in the community involved. As a Girl Scout leader for Molly’s troop, she said rock decorating will definitely be an activity when the 4th graders go back to school in September. Her dream is for Lakehurst Rocks to go social and to run into other families, even from neighboring towns, who are out “rock hunting.” Pease also hopes to catch up to some of what Toms River Rocks is doing, such as scavenger hunts and incentives like free guitar lessons to the first person who finds a particular hidden rock. Until then, join the Lakehurst Rocks Fa c e b o o k p a g e a t f a c e b o o k .c o m / groups/1485600368168786 and keep your eyes peeled for colorful rocks.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Holzapfel Sponsors Expansion To “Joan’s Law” Capitol Comments Senator Jim Holzapfel 10th Legislative District, Serving Toms River
NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Senate and General Assembly have passed an expansion of “Joan’s Law”
sponsored by Senator Jim Holzapfel of the 10th Legislative District, to mandate life without parole for murdering
a minor, of any age, during the course of a sex crime. The bill now heads to Governor Christie’s Desk for final approval. Joan’s mother, Rosemarie D’Alessandro, spearheaded efforts for a law mandating life in prison without parole for the killing of children under the age of 14 during a sex crime. “Joan’s Law” has mandated “no release” in cases involving a minor under age 14. The new
bill, S-607, increases the age limit from 14 to 18 years old. “I have been fighting for this bill for years to protect all minors from these dangerous predators,” said Senator Holzapfel. “I am pleased the legislature has passed this expansion to include children of all ages.” Signed by Governor Christie Whitman in 1997, “Joan’s Law” was named for Joan
D’Alessandro, a 7-year-old who disappeared in April 1973 while she was delivering boxes of Girl Scout cookies to a neighbor. Joseph McGowan, a 26-yearold chemistry teacher, pleaded guilty to first-degree felony murder and was sentenced to life in prison for abducting, raping and strangling Joan. In the years since, McGowan, who is still in prison, has
had parole hearings on four occasions. “Families of the victims should not be subjected to more suffering during the course of a parole board hearing,” said Senator Holzapfel. “There is no justification for ever releasing anyone who brutally rapes and murders an innocent child and that person should never see the light of day.”
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 mosquitoes 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 preadult 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 609-698-8271, 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.

Book Study For Baby Boomers – Born Between 1946 & 1964
WHITING – The Whiting United Methodist Church will host a book study for Boomers! We will be discussing the demographic changes that come with a timeline that gives Boomers a past, the present and a presumed future of the generation. “Boomer Spirituality” written by Craig Kennet Miller is a guide to how the Baby Boomer generation has had an impact on every phase of life. Boomers are now in the second half of life because of longer life spans. But the reality is our society is ill-prepared for the wave that is coming. As the Boomer generation navigates dramatic change as it ages, it will be informed by a unique spirituality that was forged in the tumultuous years of the 1960’s
and 1970’s. This book study will guide you to the way Boomers view the world and look to the future. If you are struggling to find your path, this book study is for you! It provides a thread of conviction that God still loves us! The book study will be on successive Wednesday evenings at the church beginning on September 13 at 7 p.m. We will explore each chapter of the book for seven weeks. You do not need to be present for all sessions, but it is encouraged. If you have any questions, or to sign up for this book study, please call the church office at 732-350-6878. We are located at 55 Lacey Road.
Bi-Monthly Bereavement Support Group
JACKSON – Bartley Healthcare is partnering with Holisticare Hospice to host a Bereavement Support Group every other month, beginning on August 16. We are all affected by grief and loss at some point in our lives, and everyone grieves in his or her own way. There are many different forms of grief, but you may want to consider a support group, where everyone gives and takes, and you are not alone. Many grieving people wonder if they would benefit from joining a support group. Support groups offer a few gifts: they provide hope, they can help a griever find new empathy, new understandings, and renewed strengths, and they can reaffirm that one is not alone. Grief is experienced in so many different ways – physical, emotional, and spiritual, and one needs a place to recognize that these reactions are part of the journey of grief. Anyone can attend this support group. You may have anticipatory grief, you may be grieving the loss of a loved one, or you may be a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. This Bereavement Support Group
has been created for anyone who would like a listening ear, or would like to listen to others share their feelings and emotions. The first Bereavement Support Group meeting will be hosted by Holisticare Hospice at Bartley Healthcare, 175 Bartley Road, on August 16 at 4 p.m. There will be light refreshments served. Seating is limited, so please RSVP to Lindsay, Marketing Coordinator, at 732-370-4700, ext. 1368 or lconstantino@ bartleyhealthcare.com. For over 31 years, Bartley Healthcare has provided quality individual focused memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation and assisted living services for residents on its 25-acre campus in Jackson, New Jersey. Founded in 1985, Bartley Healthcare has long been recognized as an award winning, quality leader with the experience in memory care, skilled nursing, post-acute care and assisted living. Bartley Healthcare is Joint Commission accredited, with special certification for their Memory Care and Post-Acute Programs.

Two Arrested On Drug Charges After Route 37 Traffic Stop
By Sara Grillo LAKEHURST – A recent traffic stop led Lakehurst Police to arrest two Ocean County individuals on drug charges. In their possession were 25 bags of heroin and marijuana. Around 9 p.m. on July 17, Officer Jason Guide stopped a 2004 Volvo for failing to stay inside a lane on Route 37. During an on-scene investigation by Officer Guide, the front seat passenger, 21-year-old Lacey resident Luis Garcia, was found to be under the influence of a controlled dangerous substance and was in possession of heroin and a hypodermic needle. Officer Guide also found the backseat passenger, 21-year-old Gabriele Tyrrell of Ocean Gate, to be in possession 25 bags of heroin and marijuana. Both individuals were
arrested. The vehicle’s driver was issued a summons for failing to maintain a traffic lane and was released at the scene. Garcia became violent during his processing at Lakehurst Police Headquarters and started punching the booking room walls, leaving holes in the sheetrock. He was eventually charged with Possession of Heroin, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of a Hypodermic Needle, being under the influence of a Controlled Dangerous Substance and Criminal Mischief. Tyrrell was charged with Possession of Heroin, Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Garcia was taken to the Ocean County Jail on a warrant and Tyrrell was released on a summons.
Manchester Branch Library August French Club Meetings
MANCHESTER – Manchester Branch Library’s adult French Club will hold two meetings in August. The beginner/intermediate group will meet on Tuesday, August 8 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Together we study the basics of the French Language – including vocabulary, grammar and basic conversation. Our Franco-Americaine librarian coaches participants with vocabulary, grammar and accent. The August meeting will focus on reviewing the past tense using both regular and irregular verbs. The meeting for those who are advanced speakers will take place on Tuesday, August 8 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. This is primarily a conversation group in which we discuss topical
events in French, read and discuss French texts and engage in other French-oriented activities. It is geared toward individuals who are more fluent in the language. Both programs offer participants the opportunity to meet and speak with others who are trying to brush up on or improve their French, discuss the French language and learn about French-speaking cultures. Regular practice is fun and can make a world of difference in your skills! Call 732-657-7600 or go online to theocean countylibrary.org for more information or to register.

Fire Safety For Those With Hearing Loss
There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearing Americans who cannot rely on traditional sound-oriented smoke detectors and therefore are at a disadvantage. Decreased hearing can limit a person’s ability to take quick action and escape during a fire emergency. Those with hearing loss need to take extra precautions to protect themselves from the hazards of home fire. This includes being aware of the availability of flashing and/or vibrating smoke alarms and having an effective escape plan in place. Have the proper alerting system: Smoke detectors are not doing their job if you can not hear them. Consider the following statistics: 20 percent of home fires occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., yet these fires account for more than half of all home fire deaths. Something to keep in mind: most smoke detectors produce a relatively high frequency (3000 kHz) sound. Recent studies have revealed that this frequency is not particularly effective in waking up children, heavy sleepers, those taking sleeping pills or other medication and those who have had too much to drink. In addition, high frequency alarms are almost completely ineffective in alerting people with high frequency hearing loss, accounting for about 90 percent of people with hearing loss and all deaf people. Install a flashing or vibrating smoke alarm on every level of your home.

Test all smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. People with hearing loss are at greater risk from night time fires because their hearing instruments are typically out of their ears when sleeping. Not all alerting devices meet every need but some do come close. The ideal device would not only sound an alarm but also flash a light and vibrate the bed. This would alert the three most important senses simultaneously. There are a great number of smoke detectors designed specifically for those with a hearing impairment. Light-tone HL bedside fire alarm and clock alerts you by sounding a loud low frequency and vibrating the bed. The combination of the low frequency alarm sounding and the bed shaking wakes even heavy sleepers. Silent call makes great alerting systems that work with more than just smoke detectors. Plan you escape: An important tip is not to isolate yourself. Inform family members, the building manager or a neighbor of your fire safety plan and practice it with them. Contact you local fire department on a non-emergency phone number and explain your special needs. They can help with your escape plan, perform a home inspection and offer suggestions about smoke alarm placement. They can also keep your information on file.

My Brother Was A Secret
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
My oldest brother just passed away; he was an alcoholic for decades. He smoked too. He died with his Chihuahua and wife beside him. It was colon cancer that had metastasized everywhere. So with a heavy heart I beg you to try one more time, to taper off and stop drinking. This is the best way to honor Danny’s lifelong struggles. I want him to have a legacy. By a million miles, he was my favorite brother of the two. In his twenties, Danny was handsome and charming, witty, intelligent and strong. He always had a joke to share and he loved music. He played it very loud on the vintage hi-fi console, which especially annoyed my ‘book face mom’ who would holler at him as if she could obtain higher decibels than Stairway to Heaven, “Daniel turn the noise off!” Growing up, he was like most guys, had a job, a girlfriend and many skills. He was a very hard worker. Then he fell on hard times in his 30’s and began drinking heavily. He became withdrawn, pessimistic, and more irritable with time. I still loved him, but more from a distance. I spoke to him last week, he said to me, “Suzy I don’t want to die.” Confused, I did not ask him this question out loud, but wondered, “Then why did you slowly commit suicide all these years?” Because alcohol is encouraged in our society, we get the idea that it isn’t dangerous, but it is. It’s psychoactive, addictive and potentially lethal when misused. My brother was a secret. Not because we made him one. He simply
felt shame. Today, I want him to stand for something far greater than what he could conceive during his life. Maybe you’ll be inspired to heal yourself. Here are considerations for when you’re ready to taper. Denial. Looking in our mirror and accepting who you see is difficult if not painful. Supplements. These can bridge you from addiction to recovery. Gotu kola, L-theanine and magnesium help balance glutamate to GABA. Withdrawal. Quitting cold-turkey is dangerous. A slow taper is best because it allows for GABA receptor down-regulation in the brain to correct itself. Cheerleader. There needs to be at least one person rooting for you, if only by phone, text or physical presence. These people are scared, alone, afraid and in pain, they just need thought seeds of hope. Be that for someone. Recovery Centers. Becoming and staying sober is difficult so look to established clinics and organizations that can help, as long as they are not too aggressive to medicate you with some other drug, and boot you out the door. AA sets the standard: 800-615-3851. Recovery is the bridge between who you were and who you are. I believe you can, and yes I know it’s hard. It’s hell, but if you’re going through hell, do not stop! Danny Gurvich is no longer a secret. He gave me an incredible 23-year-old nephew. Today I am celebrating the life of a very good man, and mourning his passing with you. With love… November 29, 1958 to July 10, 2017.

Ocean County Schedules Free Document Shredding Days
OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders is offering residents 22 different opportunities to get rid of their residential documents in a secure and safe way. “Ocean County’s Residential Document Shredding Program kicked off on April 8 at the Berkeley Township Recycling Center in Berkeley Township,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liai-
son to the county’s award-winning recycling program. “That is the first of 22 different dates for the popular program that is held throughout the County. We have added four more dates this year. “This program provides a great service to our residents by shredding personal documents and information that otherwise may wind up in regular trash,” Little said. “With identity theft on the rise, this offers security
to our residents and also keeps all of this paper out of the Ocean County Landfill. It’s a win, win.” In 2016, a total of 102 tons or 204,000 pounds of documents were collected and shredded during the 18 collection dates. The amount collected is up 16,000 pounds. “Ocean County is a large county and we make every effort to make this program easily accessible to all our citizens,” said Freeholder
Director Joseph H. Vicari. “This program has been embraced by all of our residents who want to rid their homes of personal papers without worrying about them falling into the hands of people who may use it for the wrong reasons.” “This program was first started in 2008 and has grown in popularity,” Little said. The work is being performed by Autoshred of Toms River. Residents are not required to register for this free program and can bring six boxes or bags each day. The program is for all paper documents and paper forms. Paperclips and staples do not have to be removed. Little noted the shredding unit features an automatic feeding and dumping system, eliminating the need for human contact with a resident’s documents. Events will run their complete scheduled time or until the truck is full. The truck capacity is 8,000 pounds. Little said that for residents who prefer to shred their documents at home, Ocean County offers drop-off boxes at both County recycling centers for shredded office papers. “Shredded office paper should not be placed with curbside recyclables and instead should be brought to the drop-off boxes at the county recycling centers,” Little said. “The shredded paper cannot be effectively sorted by the County’s recyclable materials processing facility. I encourage our residents to recycle it separately which allows us to produce a viable, marketable commodity.” Drop-off boxes can be accessed by Building 105 at the Ocean County Southern Recycling Center, 379 Haywood Road, Stafford Township or Building 68 at the Ocean County Northern Recycling Center at 601 New Hampshire Ave., Lakewood. Little also suggested residents contact their municipal recycling centers to learn whether there is a local drop-off box for shredded office papers. The following is a list of dates, times and locations for the Residential Document Shredding Program: August 5 at the Jackson Township Municipal Building, 95 West Veterans Highway, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. August 12, Lacey Township Recycling Center, 820 Municipal Lane, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. August 19, Jackson Township Rear Municipal Building Lot, 95 West Veterans Highway, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. August 25, Toms River Township, Riverwood Park, 250 Riverwood Drive, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. August 27 at Lakewood Public Works Yard, 1 America Avenue, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. September 16, Long Beach Township Recycling Center, 7910 Long Beach Blvd., 9 to 11 a.m. September 23, Island Heights Public Works Garage, Lake and Laurel Aves., 9 to 11 a.m. September 23, Long Beach Township Public Works Garage, 7910 Long Beach Boulevard, Beach Haven Crest, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. September 30, Point Pleasant Beach Public Works Yard, 301 Cooks Road, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. October 7, Point Pleasant Municipal Building, 2233 Bridge Avenue, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. October 14, Manchester Township Public Works Yard, 1360 Route 70, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. October 21, Eaglewood Township Municipal Complex, 146 Division St., 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. October 28, Beachwood Municipal Complex, 1600 Pinewald Road, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information on the program, contact the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management at 732-506-5047.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Your Attorney Can Assist Your Mortgage Approval Process
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Dina Vicari, Esq. at R.C. Shea And Associates The very necessary but intensive part of your quest to close on your new home will be providing your mortgage representative with all of the financial records and additional information they require. Equally, during a re-finance of your existing home, many of the financial records will be required. In either of these situations, the process is started by the application process and moves through the underwriting process until the loan is clear to close. During this time period which may span from 30 days to several months, depending on the complexity of the loan program, there are several things to remember as to not hinder a smooth closing, which your Attorney can assist with. First, as an applicant, you never want to open new credit cards, switch credit card balances to new credit cards, or make large purchases on existing credit cards. Even the smallest of purchases on a new card may open up a much larger available line of credit. This is important to remember when you are paying for movers or looking to purchase new appliances and/or furniture for your new home. All of these actions can disrupt your income to debt ratio which can be a major obstacle in getting to that clear to close position. Make sure prior to utilizing any credit that it is discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to avoid delays in obtaining clearance to close your loan. Second, in a situation where you may be re-financing your existing home or purchasing a home that requires repairs prior to closing, make sure all home improvements/ repairs that may be on going are complete prior to the appraisal being performed. One of the steps of any loan is to have a formal
appraisal completed. To Dina M. Vicari Esq. avoid a delay, make sure you properly plan the timing of your appraisal. Timing of the appraisal should be discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to ensure that there are no on-going improvements within the property that would require a re-appraisal that will cost an additional fee. Third, it is important to make sure you are prepared for closing and have enough money saved to bring to the closing table. At the time of closing there are lender costs and third party costs, such as payments to insurance companies, surveyors, title companies, home owner associations, tax office, municipal utilities, and many more, which must be paid at closing. It is important to communicate with your Attorney and mortgage lender to review all of your closing costs that you will be responsible for at the time of closing. The above items may be overwhelming and we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, 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 and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney and much more.

Dear Joel, My little grandchildren are coming for a visit. They are adorable kids and I love almost every minute with them, except when it comes time for bed. They swear there are monsters in the bedroom. I don’t really think they are scared, I think it’s more of a game. I’m not as young as I used to be and can’t stay up all night chasing “monsters.” What can you suggest I do? Monster Chaser in Barnegat Dear Chaser, The answer may be in the stars. I’m not suggesting a horoscope. I am suggesting these charming little glow-in-the-dark stars that you can place on the ceiling. They’re inexpensive and available in lots of places
like toy and hobby shops, even hardware stores. I would have your grandchildren make a list of all the places where the monsters live, and then I would have them join you in a ‘monster check’ before bed. You can literally place a checkmark on a list. Then when they get into bed I would tell them to look up and make a wish on each star; one for each person or thing they hold dear. They’ll go to bed with sweet thoughts and you may just get your wish of a peaceful evening. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Mylar Balloons Pose Threat To Power Lines, Wildlife This Summer
OCEAN COUNTY – Mylar balloons, those metallic covered novelty decorations that come in a host of shapes and sizes, may be fi ne for parties or graduation celebrations, but they can be deadly to wildlife that thrive in Ocean County’s bays and other waterways. “We are getting more and more reports of deflated or shredded Mylar balloons found floating in the bay and in the ocean,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “Some wildlife can mistake the balloons for food and try to consume them.” While all balloons can pose a threat to fish, birds, reptiles and mammals, Vicari said the popularity of the Mylar balloons is adding to the problem. “People like them because of the bright colors and various designs. You can fi nd a Mylar balloon to celebrate just about any occasion,” he said. Vicari asked that anyone using Mylar balloons keep them carefully tethered and do not let the helium-filled balloons escape. Afterwards, they should be disposed of properly in the trash. Loose balloons that rise high enough and are caught in the wind can travel for hundreds of miles. “Part of the problem we are seeing is the prevailing winds are bringing these balloons in from other states,” Vicari said. “Let’s set an example in Ocean County and not release balloons.”
According to reports from across the nation, Mylar balloons also pose another threat. “If these metallic-covered balloons strike power cables, they can cause widespread electrical outages,” he said. California utility companies reported that Mylar balloons were responsible for more than 1,900 outages in that state in 2015. “For everyone’s safety, please keep all balloons tethered,” he said. Vicari said he discussed the Mylar balloon problem with representatives from the state Department of Environmental Protection and local environmentalists at Wednesday’s Barnegat Bay Blitz at the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation Administrative Offices in Toms River. “We spoke of the importance of educating people about unseen dangers of these balloons,” he said. Vicari said plastics, including plastic bags and ringed six-pack can holders are also a growing problem in the bay. “We ask everyone to please properly dispose of their plastics so they don’t threaten our wildlife,” he said. Many supermarkets accept old plastic bags for recycling, Vicari added. “The bags are used to make composite plastic decking for boardwalks and backyard decks,” he said. “Park benches are also made from the material.”

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 Mon-
mouth’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).”

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE One Stop Shop Orthopedics At Northeast Spine And Sports Medicine
By Michael Vandenberg If you’re experiencing pain, the last thing you want to do is travel all over to try and find the best treatment. Would acupuncture be the best route? Physical therapy? Or perhaps you may need to see a surgeon? At NorthEast Spine and Sports Medicine, started by brothers Dr. Lambros Lambrou and Dr. Dimitrios Lambrou, you can find those treatments and many more under one roof, at any one of their locations. I spoke with Dr. Lambros Lambrou about them and their one stop shop facilities. The story of NorthEast Spine and Sports Medicine began when the brothers were both in high school. “We knew that we wanted to do something big together,” said Dr. Lambros Lambrou. They wanted to help people while owning their own business. The brothers thought about being pharmacists or perhaps dentists, but eventually decided on their original idea of being chiropractors. After all the necessary licensing and schooling, they worked together for a year at a large chiropractic practice in Red Bank to polish their skills. In April 2001, when Dr. Lambrou was just 24 years old, they opened their fi rst practice together in Pt. Pleasant. Next came the Jackson office (pictured) in March 2004, and others soon followed. Today, NorthEast has five offices total, including Aberdeen, Manchester, and Barnegat. On
staff are four sports medicine specialists, one orthopedic surgeon, 13 chiropractors, 14 physical therapists, five acupuncturists, one athletic trainer, and many more, making a total of 82 employees throughout the five facilities. They even plan on opening an ambulatory surgery center in Lakewood in August. Such a diversified staff of professionals allows NorthEast to have quite a large variety of treatment options for its patients. If you’ve got back pain, for instance, don’t go to three or four different doctors trying to find the best remedy. At NorthEast, if they don’t have an answer, it doesn’t exist. What’s more, all of their offices carry the same specialties, so you won’t have to drive too far for the care you need. Specifi cally, NorthEast provides orthopedic surgery, interventional pain management, physical therapy, sports medicine, chiropractic, acupuncture, cold laser, interventional pain management, and much, much more. “We are the only fully integrated brand that offers complete or thopedic care, from all conservative methods to surgery for the extreme cases,” said Dr. Lambrou. “No one else in New Jersey does this.” At NorthEast, being able to offer all of these services is just part of doing whatever it takes to help patients get their lives back. “The vicious cycle of pain hinders all activities of one’s life, from being
able to get to work and pay bills, spending time with loved ones, recreation, exercise, and even household chores,” said Dr. Lambrou. Using all the medical tools in the field to erase the burden of pain and change these people’s lives is the most rewarding part of his job. Dr. Lambrou cited countless examples, like the patient that can finally exercise again to maintain a healthy weight, “or their cardiologist is happy because their blood pressure is down to normal since they were able to star t walking again,” or they didn’t have to cancel that family vacation because they can finally sit on a plane for a long amount of time. Perhaps the most memorable case in particular to Dr. Lambrou was a sister of a patient who came all the way from South Korea to get interventional pain management, epidurals from Dr. Hsu and Dr. Franz. “She stayed here for some time and then went back to her home country a different person,” remembers Dr. Lambrou. “You could clearly see how all of humanity, regardless of race, color, and creed is exposed to suffering in the same way,” and, by the same token, can get life-changing treatment. The overall experience getting such treatment with NorthEast Spine and Sports is made as convenient as possible. Since most patients need to visit the office three times a week, they
Dr. Lambros Lambrou make sure to manipulate the schedule so there are virtually zero wait times. Rehabilitation is a commitment, but it shouldn’t be burdensome. Also, if a patient is upset with, for example, a bill, they will personally get a phone call from a doctor. “The patient must always know and realize the doctor is willing to help in any capacity,” he assures us.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of July 29 - august 4 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The competitive spirit is cranked up in the week ahead, but that doesn’t mean you must be cranky. Remain objective and don’t let your emotions rule your head as the week progresses. Focus on using your creative flair. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put social outings and purchases on hold the first half of the week. You are always delighted to have someone else along for the ride, but might find that breaking the ice to make new friends is an uphill battle. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Polished manners and etiquette will conquer a lack of enthusiasm from others. An air of formality may permeate social activities this week, but you will shine in a crowd when you discuss new concepts and trendy ideas. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your heart is bigger than your wallet. As this New Moon unfolds a heartrending story may tug on your conscience but it isn’t wise to be too generous. Don’t be cornered into making a financial commitment this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The New Moon in your sign may motivate you to begin something new. You may feel more competitive than usual as this week unfolds. A partner may encourage you to lead the way, but others may resent your take charge attitude. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When you are upfront about wants and needs, you can strike a suitable compromise. In the week to come new horizons may appear that you can aim for with simple changes in the way you communicate with others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may have
your head in the clouds, daydreaming of what could be. Today’s New Moon could very easily mark the beginning of a month in which you are more determined to achieve your goals. Avoid extravagant spending. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Today’s New Moon could mark a new start in your pursuit of career objectives. In the week ahead you may sort through impressions and insights gathered from numerous personal contacts. It is who you know that counts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might be caught between a rock and a hard place in the week ahead. Be on your best behavior and give no one a reason to criticize your work or performance. You can’t spend money to make more money. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It is best to keep your mouth shut when the fur is flying. Unsettling frictions could put you on your guard in the week ahead. A whisper of doubt might make you suspect that someone is not completely on the up and up. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The New Moon in your opposite sign might illuminate relationship issues. The ability to communicate clearly is at its best during the next few days. Present your ideas and clear up ongoing issues as the week goes by. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It isn’t necessary to compete on the job to command respect. In the week to come you may gradually grow to understand that the people you work with or meet in a group setting are all squares connected in the same quilt.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Summer’s Bounty: When Tomatoes Ripen Past Their Prime, Try Drying Them In The Oven By Wolfgang Puck
Yes, I have to admit it: I played a part in the great sun-dried tomato craze of the 1980s. Guests at my original Spago location above Hollywood’s Sunset Strip could enjoy sun-dried tomatoes on pizzas, in pastas and salads, and as part of the sauces or garnishes for grilled or sauteed foods. From their gemlike, deepred color to their chewy texture to their almost candy-sweet f lavor, they were irresistible. But while sun-dried tomatoes continue to be every bit as popular today, far fewer food lovers now consider them a novelty. You might wonder, however, why I would be so enthusiastic about dried tomatoes at a time of year when so many people are enjoying fresh sun-ripened tomatoes. But that’s exactly the point. Right now, even if you have just a few tomato plants in your garden or on your terrace, or you visit the farmers’ market weekly and give in to the temptation to buy an assortment of the beautiful heirloom tomatoes you see on display, you may fi nd it hard to use them all before they ripen past their prime. That’s when it makes sense to start drying them. But few people have the terracotta tile roofs on which tomatoes were originally sun-dried centuries ago in Italy - let alone the reliably sunny, dry climate you would need to ensure that the tomatoes don’t go bad before they dry. That’s why I would like to share my favorite method for preparing dried tomatoes in the oven. I must admit that I like my oven-dried tomatoes even more than many packaged sun-dried products. Why? The simple reason is you can’t always be certain of the quality you’ll get when you buy them in a package, while oven-drying ensures that you control the quality from the moment you select and buy the fresh tomatoes, through the drying process, to the point at which you use them. Oven-dried tomatoes also tend to be a bit more moist and plump than most sundried ones - though that also means that they should be stored in the refrigerator and used within two to three days. Oven-drying also gives you the opportunity to season the tomatoes to taste before the drying begins, enhancing their flavor even more. As you’ll see in the recipe, I like to sprinkle them with a little fresh thyme along with salt, pepper and a small touch of sugar to highlight their natural sweetness. If you like, use a different herb such as oregano or rose-
mary, and feel free to add a touch of spicy red pepper flakes. Keep making new batches through the rest of the season, extending your enjoyment of summer’s tomato bounty while it lasts! OVEN-DRIED TOMATOES Makes about 1 1/4 cups (310 mL) 12 medium organic sun-ripened Roma tomatoes, about 2 pounds (1 kg) total weight 3/4 cup (185 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra as needed 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves 6 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon sugar Preheat the oven to 250 F (120 C). Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Fill a large mixing bowl with ice and water and place it near the stove. With a small, sharp knife, score a shallow X in the flower end of each tomato. Carefully add the tomatoes to the boiling water and blanch them until the skin begins to wrinkle and peel back from the score marks, 15 to 30 seconds. With a wire skimmer or slotted spoon, immediately transfer the tomatoes from the boiling water to the bowl of ice water. Drain the tomatoes and, starting at the scored X, peel them, using your fi ngertips and, if necessary, the knife. With the knife tip, cut out the cores. Cut the tomatoes lengthwise into quarters and, with your fi ngertip, remove the seeds. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the tomato quarters on top, cut side down. Drizzle the 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the oil, sprinkle the thyme, and scatter the crushed garlic cloves over the tomatoes. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, pepper and sugar, and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the tomatoes. Bake the tomatoes until they begin to shrivel and have darkened to a deep red color, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside. When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a nonreactive container. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup (125 ml) of olive oil over the tomatoes, adding more as needed to cover them completely. Cover the container airtight with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate and use as needed within two to three days.
