By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – In a town as old as Toms River, things are going to change, sometimes qu ite qu ick ly. O ne change is that township clerk Mark Mutter
is retiring on July 31. He said that his legacy would be the preservation of the things that make Toms River great: history, memories, people, and open space. “The highest calling

for anyone in public office is the preservation of human life,” he said. He recalled a meeting when he was the mayor. A distraught young woman whose young child was struck while trying to cross Route 37 approached the governing body and pleaded: “Mayor, don’t let another mother go through the same thing as me.” That’s why there’s a pedestrian fence there, now. He’d like to think that there’s at least one child alive today because of that fence. “I pushed some papers around,” to get it done and save lives. “As unglamorous as it
is, it’s the best thing I ever did.” At the most recent Tow n s h i p C o u n c i l meeting, he gave a speech about his time in government. It was couched in a historical sense, like mentioning how nine people died at the end of the Revolutionary War just outside where the clerk’s office currently is. This was the Battle of the Block House, a fort that protected early villagers of Toms River before America had won its independence. He began with apologizing and asking for forgiveness for any
By Chris Christopher NEW YORK CITY – Hundreds of members of the Todd Frazier Fan Club visited Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night. The object of their affection was the former Toms River High School South and Little League standout who was traded to the New
York Yankees from the Chicago White Sox on July 18. “There are 600 fans here for me. ... 500-600 are coming,” he said at a press conference at Yankee Stadium prior to a game against the Cincinnati Reds – the team that drafted the ex-Toms River East (Yankee - See Page 4)
2 Investigations In Toms River Schools
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Two investigations have begun in the school district’s administration. The first is into complaints of sexual harassment from the superintendent. The other is into how that information got leaked to the media. The first part involves a complaint against Superintendent David Healy. The Asbury Park Press reported that Healy was accused of making “inappropriate” comments about an employee’s clothing and legs. “We’re taking the allegations seriously,” said

Free Art Festival Returns To Huddy Park
By Sara Grillo TOMS RIVER – Downtown Toms River is preparing for its 5th Annual “Art in the Park” Festival on Saturday, August 19 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the newly renovated Huddy Park. Due to the park undergoing renovations last year, the annual art festival was held on the lawn of the Ocean County Parking Garage last August. This year, Art in the Park visitors will be treated to a wide array of original visual art, music, poetry and dance, and artists at the event will be offering their unique and creative items for sale. Interactive exhibits will add to the fun, and there will also be food vendors on site. Best of all, the festival is free to attend. The public is invited to come down and see some incredible local, creative talent right in their backyards.
All art on display will also be judged by a professional panel with several prizes being awarded – $1,000 for 1st Place, $500 for 2nd Place and $250 for 3rd Place. Artists who wish to participate in the festival should visit trartistcommunity.org/2017-art-in-the-park to apply, no later than August 4. The event is being presented by the Toms River Artist Community, which holds Downtown Toms River Art Strolls on the first Thursday of the month. During these strolls, local artists showcase their work for free on the sidewalks of downtown Toms River. Art in the Park is also sponsored by the Jay & Linda Grunin Foundation, Merrill Lynch and Downtown Toms River. Additional grants were provided by the Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission and by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.

Playing in the first home game of his career in the Yankees’ famed pinstripes, Frazier started at third base in a 4-2 New York win. Frazier, who grounded into a triple play, was 1-for-2, drew one walk and stranded two runners. He’s hitting .205 with 16 homers, 44 runs batted in 43 runs scored, four steals and a .742 OPS (on base plus slugging) on the season. Frazier received a first-inning roll call from the New York fans and acknowledged the gesture with a wave of a hand. He retired the game’s initial hitter, fielding a grounder in front of an announced crowd of 44,268
patrons. “Huge, huge,” Frazier said after the game. “To play in front of these fans is awesome. The roll call was very exciting. This is very exciting for me and my family. Hopefully, I will keep it rolling. I love it.” Frazier’s first at-bat in the pinstripes was one for the books as he banged into a 6-35-6 triple play with the bases loaded in the second inning. Despite the triple play, the Yankees took a 1-0 lead on his grounder to shortstop. He hit seventh in the order. “I had a big opportunity,” he said. “I will keep plugging away.”
American Little League star. “A couple of busloads of fans and two of my Little League coaches are coming. I left 22 tickets for family and friends. They get a little more expensive over here. Just to have my family here to cheer me on... “I am very excited. It’s a homecoming something you can only dream of. There were 15-20 texts on my phone when I woke up this morning. I can’t be happier. I felt like a little kid last night.”
With the Yankees up 1-0, Frazier led off the fifth and ripped a 1-1 pitch between third and shortstop for a single in his second atbat of the game. He was erased on a force play for the first out of the inning. With New York in front 3-1 in the sixth, Frazier walked on a 3-2 pitch with two out and moved to second on a passed ball. The inning ended as Tyler Wade grounded out. Frazier starred on the East American allstar team that won the 1998 Little League World Series. He went 4-for-4, including a (Yankee - See Page 22)

BOARD OF ED FEUD INTENSIFIES
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The conflict between two board of education members is escalating, with each one calling the other unfit to serve. Toms River representative Robert Onofrietti and Beachwood representative Dan Leonard have been at odds for months, which has now culminated in one filing a civic harassment complaint. The short version is that Onofrietti is accusing Leonard of stalking him, and Leonard is accusing Onofrietti of fabricating stories to discredit him because he’s criticizing Onofrietti’s financial decisions. Onofrietti said he saw Leonard’s truck outside his home at 5:30 p.m. on July 15, and then heard it speeding away a half hour later when his wife was outside walking the dog. After that, Leonard texted him “Cute dog” and an emoji of a winking smiley face, which Onofrietti took as a threat. Five officers responded to this call, but no charges were made. He was told he could file a civic complaint, which he has. “This gentleman’s had a problem with me for a year and a half now. I don’t understand why. We used to be friends,” Onofrietti said. “I don’t know what this gentleman is capable of.” He said that video from a neighbor’s security camera and audio from a recent board meeting might prove him right. Leonard said this entire issue is being fabricated by Onofrietti to discredit him. Leonard has been making public statements about Onofrietti’s finances. “I’ve seen him make some very poor financial decisions on the board,” he said. “He’s spending money like it’s his.” Specifically, he voted to spend $20,000 more on an auditor for the district over others that were less expensive and just as qualified. This comes from some digging Leonard did, learning that Onofrietti’s house was in foreclosure. Leonard’s opinion is that someone in charge of public spending needs to be able to manage his own fi-
nances. He took a drive to see Onofrietti’s home, because he wanted to see what he had been writing about on Facebook. “I heard he had a million dollar house,” he said. When he was spotted by Onofrietti’s family members, he knew it was going to look bad. He drove past, and then had to turn around and drive past again, because he didn’t realize that Onofrietti lived on a cul-de-sac. He said he was never parked. This part of the issue is fabricated to make it look worse than it really is. He said he is offering his cell phone to police, so that presumably they would be able to learn where he traveled. The next Board of Education meeting after this incident made the issue even worse. According to Onofrietti, Leonard called him a profanity and threatened him along the lines of “Next time I come to your house, you’ll be sorry.” Onofrietti said that Leonard had called him a vulgar word. Leonard said he had called him a “snitch.” This particular issue stemmed from Leonard’s wife’s SoulSational event in Berkeley. The district had approved SoulSational fliers to be put up. So he said he had dropped them off on the table at the board meeting. Leonard said Onofrietti called over the district business administrator in the middle of the public comment period to ask who had approved them. The two got into an argument which interrupted the public hearing. Other school officials are staying out of the feud. Board President Ben Giovine said that he cannot comment officially about the matter. “It is important however, that our Board of Education remains focused on its mission to support our schools, students and staff,” he said. Board attorney Stephen Leone said he is not up-to-date with all the facts in the case. “The board, as a whole, does not encourage these things to occur. It’s strictly a private matter between them,” he said.

newspaper. “I don’t think the complainant is happy about it. It should not be in the public right now,” Leone said. Once the investigation is complete, then it can be spoken about. “Personnel issues are confidential. The consequences can be public.” An independent investigation is therefore looking into who spilled the information to newspapers, he said. Steve Baker, director of communications for the NJEA, agreed that they are not happy with the issue being made public. In fact, they declined sharing the complaint with The Toms River Times. “I can confirm that neither the association nor the complainant wanted the letter to be leaked,” Baker said. He added that the NJEA is not investigating how it was leaked, since the district is handling that.
board attorney Stephen Leone. Retired Superior Court judge Vincent Grasso was assigned to meet with all parties and conduct an investigation. He is employed through Leone’s fi rm Carluccio, Leone, Dimon, Doyle & Sacks. The investigation was made public by news sources last week, which surprised those involved. The problem with investigations being made public before being concluded is that the public automatically assumes that the investigated party is guilty. The article said that the complaint had been given to the Toms River Board of Education and district business administrator William Doering. It was originally sent by the New Jersey Education Association. A copy of the complaint was provided to the

–Photo courtesy Helen Henderson Greg Auriemma (holding Sierra Club sign) and several others at Hands Across the Sand opposing offshore drilling, several years ago at Island Beach State Park. By Chris Lundy BRICK – Greg Auriemma, the chair of the Ocean County chapter of the Sierra Club, was remembered by friends and colleagues. Auriemma had gone missing weeks ago while hiking 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 County chapter of the Sierra Club 20 years ago. “He brought a lot of people together,” said Helen Henderson, a member of the Sierra Club and the American Littoral Society. He energized people, inspiring them to take on the challenges inherent in protecting the environment. “He made people feel like anything is possible.” First encountering Auriemma in her struggle against development on the Lacey rail trail, she said he never wavered in his support of the natural environment and the need to keep the trail open space. He was well versed in the law, and made himself available to help others in their own local causes, she said. “He will be missed,” she said. “I don’t know who could possibly fi ll his shoes.”
“He was involved in pretty much every environmental issue in Ocean County in the last 20 years,” Jeff Tittel, the director of the New Jersey Sierra Club, said about his actions. “Whatever the issue was, Greg was a part of it.” He listed campaigns Auriemma had been involved in, from fighting sprawl, to closing Oyster Creek Generating Station, to keeping an eye on Ciba Geigy, to the health of the Barnegat Bay. There were smaller issues, too, such as beach cleanups and hikes that he was a part of. When Brick was deciding on purchasing Trader’s Cove, Auriemma was on the forefront 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.

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. Jose ph McGowa n , a 26-year-old 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.”

County Southern Service Center, 179 South Main Street in Manahawkin. The offices are staffed from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. “The Ocean County Clerk’s Office makes every effort to inform potential candidates of approaching filing deadlines,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, who serves as liaison to the County Clerk. “Through the office’s website, social media, and other avenues, County Clerk Colabella provides the information needed by both candidates and voters.”
Colabella noted it was important that candidates get their paperwork in on time. “This is what guarantees their place on the ballot,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. Colabella noted that all Ocean County school districts now hold their Board of Education elections in November. “A law signed by the Governor in 2014 moved the petition filing deadline for school board candidates from June to the last Monday in July to provide candidates with more time
to submit their petitions,” Colabella said. A total of 68 school board seats will appear on the November ballot in various school districts throughout Ocean County. A complete listing of all candidates who file petitions for school board will be available shortly after the July 31 deadline at oceancountyclerk.com or facebook.com/ oceancountyclerk. School board candidates seeking additional information on the petition filing process can contact the Ocean County Clerk’s Election Office at 732-929-2153.

FALSE APPEARANCE OF STRABISMUS
A baby’s eyes often appear crossed due to a wide nasal bridge and noticeable skin folds at the inner corners of the eyes, which give rise to a condition known as “pseudostrabismus.” By four months of age, the nasal bridge becomes more prominent, revealing evenly matched eyes. However, misaligned eyes in a child over four months could be due to true strabismus. In this condition, one or both eyes turn in (crossed eyes) or out (walleyes), down, or up, which may be caused by a lack of muscle coordination between the eyes that prevents them from focusing together. Treatment usually involves the use of an eye patch, glasses, or some combination to force the weak eye to work harder. The earlier strabismus is detected and treated following a child’s eye exam, the more successful the outcome. Without treatment, your child may develop double vision, amblyopia, or visual symptoms that could interfere with reading and classroom learning.

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.

Land O’ Make Believe By Sharon O’Brien Huey
TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Library is pleased to announce that it will host Land O’ Make Believe by Sharon O’Brien Huey during the month of August in the Toms River Branch’s McConnell Gallery. This exhibit features magical realism art created from photographs using a variety of software programs and techniques. Sharon is a completely self-taught artist with no formal training. Her work has been shown in Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey. Sharon says, “People don’t slow down enough to look around and see the magical world they live in, I capture my photographs by taking long, aimless drives on endless beautiful back roads. But I am forever
pulling over to let speeding cars pass me. They’re going too fast to notice the beauty all around that I’m seeing and I think that’s sad. I needed to find a way to make people see and feel again…to make them slow down, to pause for just a minute. That’s where the fairytale – or magical realism – look to my artwork came from. By making things look a little bit wonky or whimsical…this gets their attention. This reminds them. This makes them see.” Land O’ Make Believe is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact the Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Library at 732-349-6200, ext. 5100 or visit theoceancountylibrary.org.

Ortley Residents Love Replenished Beach
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Now that Ortley Beach has had some time to be utilized after being fi lled in with new sand, residents are saying they are very happy with the work that was done. According to the state Department of Environmental Protection, Ortley received approximately 267,000 cubic yards of sand, creating an approximately 225-foot-wide beach. The sand was dredged from the ocean floor about 1.5 miles from shore, according to an official from the Army Corps of Engineers. Looking at the chips of shells mixed in with the sand on the new beach, one can tell that the sand was churned up from the ocean floor. They will return in the fall to replenish 11 million cubic yards of sand along approximately 14 miles of coastline, from Point Pleasant Beach through Seaside Park. The total project costs about $128 million. The work will be done by Weeks Marine. “They did a magnificent job and being on

that beach today, takes me back 50 years or more,” said Ken Langdon, chairman of the Ortley Beach Liaison Committee. When the project began, he was skeptical of how it was going to be fi nished on time. “Living in the beach block, I hear commentary all day and it is all positive,” he said. “Our only hopes are that the fi nal phase of this project in October or November, when they create the dunes, is as magnificent as the fi rst phase. As an engineer, my respect for the Army Corps and their contractor, Weeks Marine, has risen immensely.” Anthony L. Colucci, president of the Ortley Beach Voters and Taxpayers Association, agreed. “The beach is looking great and will look even better when the dunes are completed in the fall,” he said. For the time being, the work they did is making summer enjoyable for Toms River residents. “The expanded beach will provide protection from storms until the dunes are completed in the fall,” he said.

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. Lighttone 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. For more information about fire safety, visit usfa.fema.gov.
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!
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.

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
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.

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.

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-fi nancing 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
avoid a delay, make sure Dina M. Vicari Esq. 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.

wrongs he might have committed. In an emotional goodbye, he spoke about his heroes, like Normandy Beach veteran Bud Lomell, and his parents, who have passed on. He also thanked his staff and every member of the governing body, attributing personal thanks to what each of them have done for him and for the people of town. “Forty-three years ago, I entered our Town Hall for the fi rst time. I saw the world in black and white. I leave next week for the last time, and I see the world in shades of grey.” He said the job was a learning process, and sometimes very difficult. “Our job is to do good deeds here.” With that, he said goodbye to township gover nment and hello to family and friends that he will now have more spare time for. He symbolically handed over the township seal to Alison Carlisle, who he then swore in as township clerk. Carlisle was the deputy clerk prior to this. In turn, she then swore in Destiny Reynolds as deputy clerk. Carlisle thanked her family for their inspiration and support, and her friend Mutter, who taught her how to “hold the fort.” Mayor Thomas Kelaher said his name is synonymous with Toms River history. Indeed, as the township celebrated its 250th, Mutter was front and center, guiding the historical events. It was for this reason that the governing body named the records center after him, the J. Mark Mutter Records Center. When the Township Council voted for this, he, as the clerk, had to take roll call on the vote. Taken completely by surprise, words failed him as he accepted their thanks. He said that the records center was more than just him, even though it will have his name on it. It was the work of scores of dedicated people. Before the building was constructed, every department in town had its own system in storing documents, he said. There were 18 different locations. If someone needed a particular fi le, they might have to go into the boiler room, or the attic above the business administrator’s office, or any number of places. The office that now houses Rep. Tom MacArthur was floor to ceiling boxes. “Twenty-five years ago, when I was on the committee, you would have staff members looking for a record disappear, sometimes for days,” Mutter said. In 2006, there was a grant from the Public Archive and Records Infrastructures Support. The township won that grant, and over the course of a few years, they began to solve the problem. First, they had to come up with a plan, then they hired Greg Horback as the records manager. He was joined by part time records assistants. Thankfully, after the state stopped the PARIS funding after a few years, the township officials saw the need for the project and continued funding it. There needed to be a central location for all documents. Away from bodies of water in case of flooding. Confidential, so that
not everyone had easy access to it. It was fi nished in 2015 on Church Road. It’s a modern building to house the past. The building is essentially a warehouse. Unlike other warehouses, there’s no musty smell. That’s because the interior is climate controlled to keep the documents from deteriorating. The lighting is designed so that the papers won’t fade. The building has a loading dock, because documents come in by the truckload. This is because each department has a few years of the most recent documents handy in their offices in case someone needs something recent. There are racks of documents, and each rack has a different category, such as Law, Planning, or Board of Adjustment. The building can hold 13,000 Bankers boxes. They are organized like a library. Each record is computerized. So, if someone is looking for something, the computer entry will tell them about the row, shelf, and even location on the shelf. The rows are longer than many people’s houses, and are moved by turning an oversized wheel on the front, which lets the rows glide over tracks in the floor. After so many years, certain documents can be destroyed. However, the township has to get approval from the state to do so, he said. There’s an industrial paper shredder in one room for this. Documents referring to the Coastal Area Facilities Review Act, which governs construction near bodies of water, are permanent and will never be destroyed. Documents relating to the contamination at Ciba-Geigy also will never be destroyed, Mutter said. They technically could be, but the township thinks it’s important enough to save them. Ciba has almost its own rack, shared with United Water and the Dover Landfill. The fi re departments in town also store their documents here. “More and more records are digital, but you will never be fully paperless,” he said. Also stored here are some unusual historical items, like World War I helmets of Toms River soldiers. Some artifacts have not come here, like the minute books from ancient meetings. All the minutes from 1783 and on are in a vault in town hall, he said. They have kept all the records that have existed since the British burned down the town at the end of the Revolutionary War. There’s also room on the property to expand, if needed. “It’s a lot of work for a lot of people,” he said. “It truly is a state-of-the-art facility.” He credited Greg Horback as the day-today person who “put the puzzle together.” He also praised Cindy Asay, the assistant records keeper, who figured out how to sort it. Paul Shives, the current business administrator, used to be the administrator at Stafford Township, which also has a records building, so he was able to provide input. “It’s a nice legacy to leave for the next generation of record keepers. Public records are the public trust,” he said, adding that he was humbled by naming the building after him. “I couldn’t have done it without the help of a lot of people who deserve as much credit as I do.”

Yankee: Continued From Page 4 leadoff home run, notched the game-winning strikeout and was the winning pitcher in a 12-9 win over a team from Japan that was the Far East and International champion in the fi nal game of the Series. To celebrate its title, East American was invited by the Yankees to Yankee Stadium on Sept. 1, 1998 when New York faced the Oakland Athletics. Each Toms River player was introduced to the fans and invited to stand next to his Yankee position counterpart during The National Anthem. Frazier, a shortstop, wound up standing next to Derek Jeter. Frazier played for the National League against Jeter in the 2014 All-Star Game – the first for Frazier and the final for Jeter. A few days later, Frazier helped the Reds honor the Yankee captain’s final year in baseball in a special pre-game tribute. “It’s gonna be great,” Frazier said. “I will be taking batting practice where all of the greats played, especially Derek Jeter.” Frazier said he benefited from his Little League days. “We were not the biggest team, but we were scrappy,” he said. “We hit more home runs than anyone else. The memories are the friends I made. I still have two bags of pins at home. Playing in front of 40,000 people can only help. We had a home run derby and infield competitions each day in practice. I try to bring that fun on the field even though I am being paid a lot of money.” A Toms River resident, Frazier said he and his family plan to reside in North Jersey during the season. “We will live in the Fort Lee area,” he said. “Right now, I will commute until I find a place. I will be stuck in traffic yelling at the steering wheel.” Frazier’s part of the press conference lasted 13 minutes. Teammate Dave Robertson, a relief pitcher, followed. Frazier, 31, is among the team’s leaders in major-league experience. “I was traded here for a reason,” he said. “I’ve gotta step it up and hopefully I will do that. I won’t step on anyone’s toes.” Frazier said he has spoken with the Yankees’ Aaron Judge, the team’s slugging right fielder. “I have a great dialogue with him about hitting,” Frazier said. The game was telecast live on Channel
11, WPIX. One of the broadcasters was Al Leiter, the former Central Regional standout who pitched for the Yankees. Leiter, who graduated in 1984 when he led the Golden Eagles to an NJSIAA Group state title, spoke of the intense rivalry between South and Central. Upon his arrival in New York, Frazier changed his jersey number from No. 21 to No. 29, as No. 21 is unofficially retired by the Yankees for outfielder Paul O’Neill. Frazier had worn No. 21 throughout his entire career in honor of O’Neill as he had grown up as a fan of the Yankees. Frazier said he hoped to speak to O’Neill to gain permission to wear the number. However, clubhouse manager Rob Cucuzza told Frazier that it would not happen. Frazier will receive $12 million to play major league baseball this season, according to Spotrac, which reports on athletic contracts. He will likely become a free agent after the end of this season. South coach Ken Frank said he sees Frazier flourishing with the Yankees. “They are a great fit for him,” Frank said. “He brings them another winning attitude in the locker room and is surrounded by big time players. He is sort of the older guy now and one thing he knows how to do is win. He finds a way to get it done. He is a good team person. Everyone gets along with Todd. They need a little spark and the Yankees will be a spark for Todd, too. “Todd loves the competition. He plays the game hard and that does not happen with a lot of the young kids. His attitude is the extra tool that makes him better than most.” On Dec. 16, 2015, Frazier was traded to the White Sox from the Reds. During the 2016 season, he placed second in the MLB Home Run Derby. In his first full year with the White Sox, he finished with career highs in home runs, runs batted in and walks. However, he hit a career-low .225 in 158 games. At the time he was traded to the Yankees, Frazier slugged 16 homers and knocked in 44 runs while batting .207 through 81 games. Frazier through July 22 slugged 164 career homers, had a career batting average of .246, drove in 466 career runs and sped to 62 career stolen bases. Frank, who nurtured Frazier while he was with the Indians, said he has seen his protégé play in the stadiums of the Yankees, the New York Mets, the Philadel-
phia Phillies, the Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles. “My favorite stadium is in Philadelphia (Citizens Bank Park),” Frank said. “After the game, they set up food and beverages for those who visited the players and you sit around and chat with the other players. They treat you very well and they were kind enough to let me into the locker room after the game. It is great to spend time with Todd and the other players. Todd also took me to the dugout where I had baseballs signed.” Frank said he is not surprised at Frazier’s success. “I always felt he would be a star or at least get a shot at it,” he said. “He had all of the tools and the personality to go with it. When my dad attended the Little League World Series (in 1998), he said Todd would make it in either Hollywood or professional baseball as he had a great personality and was a good young man.” The 6-foot-3 Frazier has not forgotten his roots. “He is one of those guys who will be the first one to come to your side and help you out,” Frank said. “He is a gentleman when he has to be and an athlete when he has to be. Todd does not forget the people who were little parts of his life. I am proud to say I have coached him. I love watching him play and meeting the other players through Todd. The only thing he has not done in the majors is be with a winner.” Frazier played on the Indians’ Group III state championship teams in 2002 and 2003. “When Todd was in high school, we always used the word ‘composure,’ “ Frank said. “He has kept his composure through good and bad. When he was in a batting slump, he made a positive out of it as he did not let things bother him.” Frank said he saw Frazier, who also starred in basketball for the Indians, play baseball for the first time as a Little Leaguer. “He played the game with passion and was happy and competitive,” Frank said. “He was always happy and always competitive. When he was at South, he would turn it up a notch during batting practice when the (professional) scouts were watching. The more pressure you put on Todd, the better he gets. He likes pressure.” Frazier was selected 34th overall by the Reds in June of 2007 out of Rutgers University. His first major-league season
with the Reds was 2011. He came up big off the field with the Reds in 2012, saving the life of a man choking on a piece of steak by administering the Heimlich maneuver. Frazier was named the National League’s Outstanding Rookie by the Major League Baseball Players Association in 2012 while with the Reds. During the 2013 season, Frazier hit a homer for the Reds’ honorary batboy Teddy Kremer, an adult with Down syndrome. Frazier was a National League AllStar in 2014 and 2015. He was the 2015 Major League Baseball All-Star Game spokesperson. He won the Home Run Derby in Cincinnati in 2015 when he was with the Reds and captured the Heart and Hustle Award last season with the White Sox. Frazier sparkled at Rutgers where he was named the 2007 Big East Conference Player of the Year after batting .377, posting a .502 on-base percentage and notching a .757 slugging percentage. His 42 homers and 210 runs scored are career records at Rutgers where he played from 2005-07. “Rutgers was great,” Frazier said. “It was a privilege to play with (coach) Fred Hill Sr. We had a good bunch of guys. We were scrappy. We gave guys a battle. We fought hard. That makes you a better athlete and a better person. Seven guys were drafted with me.” During 2012, Frazier married his longtime girlfriend, Jackie Verdon, a former Rutgers gymnast. In March of 2014, the couple had their first child, a son named Blake. Their daughter, Kylie Kimberly, was born in December of 2015. Frazier’s name graces the Little League field called Frazier Field House. The 220-pound Frazier is a fan of Frank Sinatra, who hailed from Hoboken. He often chooses Sinatra’s songs when he steps to the batter’s box prior to an atbat. Sinatra music played over the public address system as Frazier stepped into the batter’s box Tuesday night. Frazier’s brother, Jeff, starred at South and Rutgers and played for the Detroit Tigers. Another brother, Charles, excelled at South and was a Florida Marlins farmhand. Charles Frazier pitched to Todd Frazier during the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Home Run Derbys. “Jeff and Charles are here,” Frazier said. “I hope to get my son in our locker room.”

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 first 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. Specifically, 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. And those forms you’re used to seeing as a new patient? You can fill them out online ahead
of time and avoid the hassle of doing it at the office. With convenience like that, why not make an appointment with NorthEast Spine and Sports Medicine? Check out their website, northeastspineandsports. com today for all of their offices’ phone numbers, as well as lots of information on services and treatments. “It’s the positive change that we have in a person’s life that makes us proud to do what we do on a daily basis, consistently,” said Dr. Lambrou.

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.

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.

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.
