State Cuts $111K From Manchester Schools

Public Hearing Longtime BOE On PinelandsMember Based Gas Pipeline Steps Down

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – After multiple Ocean County school districts were set to lose millions in state aid due to declining enrollment, the final cuts turned out to be smaller than expected.

In Manchester, the school district was originally slated to lose $177,000, but ended up with a

“With this newest reduction... we’re now under 10 percent again and it’s just ridiculous.”

– Board Member Donald Webster, Jr. decrease of $111,232. The school system will now receive a total of $5,450,389 from the state.

Although the decrease was smaller, its timing could not have been worse, off icials said. The state budget was approved on July 4 by Governor (Schools - See Page 5)

By Sara Grillo TOMS RIVER – The bleachers of Pine Belt Arena were filled on July 26 with protesters and supporters of the Southern Reliability Link (SRL), a proposed 30-mile natural gas pipeline that would run through 12.1 miles of the Pinelands.

New Jersey Natural Gas is proposing the

pipeline in order to ensure quality of service for roughly 1 million customers. But the scheduled public hearing brought up many concerns – such as potential spills that could endanger water supply and wipe out native plants and animals.

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – At a recent Board of Education meeting, longtime Board of Education member Mary Walter announced she would be stepping down and embarking on a new position at the New Jersey School Boards Association.

Walter served on the school board for a total of 21 years, 10 of them as Board President. She noted that her time spent on the board was a very rewarding experience that has immensely prepared her to take on the challenges of her new position.

“Mrs. Walter is one of the best board members I have ever worked with,” said Superintendent David Trethaway in a statement.

“She signifies what a board member should be.”

According to Board President Donald Webster, Jr., Walter joined the school board at a time when the (BOE - See Page 5)

How Will BlueClaws Sale Affect Fans?

By Chris Christopher LAKEWOOD – With the announcement that the Lakewood BlueClaws will be under new ownership, fans wondered how the purchase would change the experience.

Shore Town Baseball, a newly formed group headed by minor league baseball veteran Art Matin, has reached an

agreement to acquire the operating interest in the BlueClaws. The group includes local investors Bob Tamashunas and Bill Luby.

Lakewood is the Philadelphia Phillies’ low Class A affiliate which competes in the South Atlantic League.

The BlueClaws, who began play in 2001 and came to Lakewood from Cape Fear, N.C.,

in January of 2000, had one previous ownership group, American Baseball Ventures. The public face of the ABV was Joseph Finley, whose organization owns the Trenton Thunder, the New York Yankees’ Double A farm team which plays in the Eastern League.

“This opportunity with the BlueClaws is certainly very exciting for all of us,” Matin, 60, a Brooklyn, (BlueClaws - See Page 7)

from various organizations spanning the state, including the New Jersey Sierra Club, Pinelands Preservation Alliance, Clean Water Action New Jersey, Green Party of New Jersey and ReThink Energy NJ. There were concerned residents, too, including Jacqueline Cardini and Dom Stockton-Rossini.

Officials from the Pinelands Commission filled the dais. The Commission has previously said the pipeline is consistent with the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan – a set of regulations and standards that safeguard the area’s unique natural resources – although several speakers at the hearing questioned that throughout the morning.

A common theme brought up by speakers at the hearing was how the public portion of the application was being handled, which some referred to as a “made up process” and “a sham.”

Speakers were limited to only three minutes of public comment before a buzzer sounded, signaling their time was up. Commenters who spoke over their allotted time were booed by audience members wearing SRL pins. Some of them also yelled, “time’s up!”

Another frequent thread was that the pipeline would serve no real military purpose, despite officials from the Pinelands Commission citing that Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst would be a primary beneficiary.

Jeff Tittel from the New Jersey Sierra Club kicked things off around 10 a.m. as the day’s first speaker, reminding the dais, “You’re the Pinelands Commission – not the Pipeline Commission.” He cited concern for the 17

but was also representing his parents, residents of Long Beach Island. He quoted the figure of $9.2 million dollars, the estimated net profit New Jersey Natural Gas would make from the pipeline, according to a 2016 report on the Southern Reliability Link. “$9.2 million dollars in corporate profits and the unnecessary risk on our properties, our environment and the future of our state,” he said. “It’s not a question of if there will be spills, it is when. Spills will happen and our environment will be threatened.”

A former New Jersey Natural Gas employee surprisingly spoke, sharing “8 fatal flaws” of the SRL application, which all centered around the pipeline serving no genuine military purpose.

“The pipeline will not directly deliver any dedicated gas to the base itself,” he said.

Toms River resident Jacqueline Cardini said she was representing babies, which took the audience some time to register, until she began to tell her story. Her sister Jessica contracted leukemia during the Toms River cancer cluster; her mother one of the major organizers of Ocean of Love, a nonprofit that helps Ocean County children with cancer.

Although her sister survived, she described the horrific experience of witnessing many children in the same situation who did not.

“For those of you who want to tell me this is clean energy simply on the basis that it’s cleaner than coal, I tempt you to sit in your car while it’s running with the garage door closed,” she said.

Public comment was closed on August 2.

It is now up to the Pinelands Commission to review the comments received and make a decision to approve or deny the application from New Jersey Natural Gas.

tive Director Nancy Wittenberg – “You say it is under your standards, and your standards are to preserve, protect and enhance the Pinelands and the Comprehensive Management Plan,” she asked.

“A key element of the Comprehensive Management Plan, which also highlights the cornerstone of Clean Water Action, is water protection. The proposed pipeline would run through two superfund sites that require specific remediation by the EPA. And I can assure you that remediation does not include blasting and laying a 30-inch high pressure gas pipeline that can spread contaminants and threaten water supplies.”

Tauro said the SRL is also not being welcomed by the communities it is affecting.

“Neither has this pipeline being welcomed with open arms by host communities. It has formally been opposed through resolutions by seven townships, one city and a county.”

Those townships, she said, include Plumsted and Upper Freehold.

Heather Warburton from the Green Party of New Jersey told the dais she had a show for them to watch called “Views from the Pipeline.” She explained that it’s 15 to 20 images showcasing the beauty of the route that the proposed pipeline would take, “so you can see what’s really being put at stake here,” she said.

In a stretch of creativity, Warburton used the last minute and a half of her allotted three minutes to let the dais reflect on a simple question – “Why are you here, and what do you want to do?” During the moment of silence, protesters of the pipeline pushed their signs farther into the air and Warburton stared directly at officials on the dais, who seemed unfazed.

trillion gallons of drinking water at stake, as well as plant species found nowhere else around the world. Tittel said that there are plenty of other ways to get gas down the shore, and that the proposed pipeline is really about bringing more development to the shore area.

The “excuse” about the Joint Base, he said, is “made up,” and just a way to rationalize building the pipeline. “The damage that you do will last for a very long time,” he said, adding that if it gets built, “We sued you once, we’ll have to go back to court again.”

Carleton Montgomery represented the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, a private, nonprofit group devoted to preserving the Pinelands, sharing, “It won’t even help the base, it’s so badly designed for the scenario for which it’s supposed to be justified.”

Janet Tauro, Board Chair of Clean Water Action New Jersey, spoke out strongly against the three-minute time restriction. “You hinder public participation when you limit this to three minutes. It really is a sham. It prevents us from bringing in our experts and giving expert testimony.” She added that if officials really cared about the public’s concerns, they would have scheduled the hearing after hours when people could come after work.

Tauro said Clean Water Action is opposed to the SRL pipeline.

“The Joint Base would not even be able to tap into it without major infrastructure work that New Jersey Natural Gas has no intention of doing,” she added.

She said the Pinelands are home to many threatened and endangered species, and that the pipeline poses a high risk to aquifers. She also directly questioned Commission Execu-

Board member Jackie Bermudez said, “Mary has been a great role model and I respect her and everything she has done for me and for the district.”

Walter was presented with a plaque honoring her for the 21 years of service and commitment to the Manchester school district.

Gayle Mount was sworn in at the July 26 Board of Education meeting to fill the seat

The Manchester Times, August 5, 2017, Page 5 left open by Walter.

Mount is a special education teacher in the Brick school system and a graduate of Manchester’s Class of 1995. She said she is proud to be raising her three children in the same town that she and her husband grew up in.

“As not only a parent but a full-time special education teacher I have a very invested interest in education. I take pride in my community and I look forward to working with the other members of the Board of Education, the community, teachers and administration to continue to keep the Manchester schools the great place they are,” she said.

Schools:

Continued From Page 1 Christie, but the Manchester Board of Education had already passed their school budget back in May, securing all the necessary programs and staff for the new 20172018 school year.

“To get a cut this late in the game just starting the new fiscal school year made it a challenge to figure out how we were going to reduce our budget without affecting programs, without affecting staff,” said Business Administrator Craig Lorentzen.

Although late in the game, school state aid cuts are nothing new to School Board President Donald Webster, Jr., who said he has been around over 20 years and seen when the district was down in state aid at around 10 percent, then up again around 16 or 17 percent.

“With this newest reduction – and they’re talking about additional reductions in state aid for districts like ours next year – we’re now under 10 percent again and it’s just ridiculous,” he said, adding that Manchester would deal with the $111K cut without disrupting school or changing staff assignments.

Lorentzen expanded on where the budget difference would come from, which he said would be made up through attrition and revenue.

“We’re going to be reducing elementary and high school salaries through attrition. These would be staff members that retired last year.

We’re not going to replace those positions,” he said.

He said they also plan to bump up their budget number for another state aid they receive through special education, based on the amount they receive this year. Between the two, they will make up for the $111,232.

Lorentzen also noted that what’s unique about Manchester is the funding formula used by the state to dole out the aid, a formula based on the property value and income of the town, compared to the number of kids being sent to district schools. He said Manchester’s high volume of age-restricted communities that don’t send children to the schools creates a false sense of wealth.

“So the funding formula perceives us as wealthy, and based on that they feel our taxpayers can afford to support more of the school budget, which is why our state aid is so small,” he said.

Manchester schools only get about 8.5 percent of their entire budget from the state, which he said is by far one of the lowest percentages in the area.

“The only other school district that’s similar to us in the area is Central Regional, but they’re in a similar situation. All the other school districts around us are typically in the 30 to 40 percent range in state aid,” he said.

The Central Regional School District saw a slight increase in state aid this year of $60,610, and will receive a total of $4,117,751 in state funding.

School officials still have some concerns going forward when it comes to future state aid reductions, but said they will have to wait and see what happens.

BlueClaws:

Continued From Page 1 N.Y., resident said prior to the group’s first game as the team’s owners. “Our ownership group is made up of people who love the game of baseball, have extensive experience in owning minor league baseball franchises and bring local knowledge and commitment to the table. We look forward to continuing the tradition of providing fun, family entertainment and exciting professional baseball for decades to come here on the Jersey Shore. I have always admired the previous BlueClaws ownership group. I thank them for working with us on this opportunity and congratulate them on 17 terrific seasons with the team.

“The BlueClaws are an established and successful franchise with a talented and committed staff. We look forward to working together to identify ways we can make an already excellent fan base even better. We also look forward to continuing the BlueClaws’ tradition of being a strong partner in the community. We’re excited to hear from our fans and learn what they like most about coming to BlueClaws games.”

Tamashunas, a Rumson resident, said he has attended approximately 15-20 Lakewood games.

“We are local,” he said. “We have a good understanding of the importance of this franchise to the community,” he said. “My family and I have always wanted to come back. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Art is one of the more respected executives in all of minor league baseball

and it has all come together. This is an opportunity we really could not pass up.”

Asked how much Shore Town Baseball paid for the BlueClaws, Matin said, “We can’t disclose that.”

Matin said there are several reasons for the purchase of Lakewood, a 6-2 loser to the Hickory (N.C) Crawdads, a Texas Rangers affiliate, in front of an announced crowd of 6,645 fans.

“We know a lot about the BlueClaws,” he said “They are very appealing to us. The fan support is tremendous. And there is the opportunity to partner with the Phillies.

There is a good strategic location from the marketing and player development standpoints.”

“I am especially excited as a Jersey Shore resident and lifelong Phillies fan to be a part of this ownership group with the BlueClaws,” Tamashunas said. “I know full well that the BlueClaws are a great asset for the Jersey Shore community and look forward to our fans and partners enjoying the BlueClaws experience in the coming years.”

“Our nearly two decades with the BlueClaws were gratifying and enjoyable in every way,” said Finley, a New Hope, Pa. resident and an attorney. “I’ve known Art Matin for a decade and with the new ownership group and the talented team of people on the staff the BlueClaws are in very capable hands. We wish the team, fans and sponsors nothing but the best.”

The BlueClaws will remain in the Phillies’ system. The two signed a new Player Development Contract last year. It will run through at least the 2020 season.

“We are thrilled to welcome Art, Bob, Bill and Shore Town Baseball to the Phillies’ family,” Philadelphia president Andy MacPhail said. “Their passion for the game is outstanding and we know they will do a great job leading the BlueClaws and supporting the Phillies, our young players and coaches. I’d also like to thank Joe Finley and the rest of the outgoing ownership group for 17 great years together in Lakewood. We would also like to express our appreciation to all the fans who have supported the team over the years.”

Chris Tafrow, a Toms River High School East graduate who began this season as Lakewood’s general manager, is employed in the marketing department at Rutgers University. Lakewood is in search of a general manager.

“We hope to have an announcement before the end of this season,” Matin said. “We’re looking for someone who has meaningful experience in minor league baseball. We want someone who is very good with fans and sponsors and is dedicated to driving a great experience for fans and sponsors.”

There is a chance that Lakewood’s home games will be televised live.

“I don’t know,” Matin said. “It’s something we are going to look into. We will learn what it takes to make that happen.”

Matin said the ownership group will be based in Lakewood.

“We won’t have a special office,” he said.

“We will use the park.”

Matin said he met with the team’s ushers Thursday night.

“I received a great vibe,” he said. “I met

with as many ushers as I could and thanked them for what they do and for being a part of the team.”

Matin was previously the Chief Executive Officer of Mandaly Baseball Properties, which owned and operated nine separate franchises over its existence, including the Dayton, Oh., Dragons (Cincinnati Reds Class A), the Oklahoma City RedHawks (Houston Astros Triple A), Frisco Rough Riders (Frisco, Tx., Texas Rangers Double A), the Scranton (Pa.) Wilkes-Barre Rail Riders (Triple A), the Hagerstown, Md., Suns (Washington Nationals, South Atlantic League), the Las Vegas 51s (Los Angeles Dodgers Triple A) and the Staten Island, N.Y., Yankees (short-season Class A).

This followed a successful career in the technology industry that included senior positions at IBM, McAfee Security, and Veritas. He also served as chairman of MiLB’s Baseball Internet Rights Company from 2010-14.

“I have been in baseball for 20 years,” Matin said. “When I got into professional baseball, my wife said, ‘Finally a product you can understand.’ “ Luby, a Fair Haven resident, and Tamashunas are partners at Seaport Capital, a private equity firm that has a history of investing in minor league baseball through its majority ownership of Mandalay Baseball Properties.

“Not lost on us is minor league baseball’s perfect combination of affordable family entertainment and terrific professional baseball,” Matin said. “It’s a ton of fun. We (BlueClaws - See Page 9)

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER State Should Fix Bus Shelters

(This letter was sent to the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Transportation.)

On behalf of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the residents of Ocean County, I am requesting immediate attention to the deplorable condition of numerous bus shelters throughout the county.

As you are aware, Ocean County has one of the highest commuter populations in New Jersey.

The purpose of the bus shelter is to provide our hard working citizens protection against the weather and a safe space to assemble while waiting for their bus. Many of the shelters in Ocean County are in poor condition, creating both a safety hazard and blight upon

the community in which they are located.

Ocean County is also a premier destination for tourists. Our boardwalks, beaches, amusement parks, and recreational activities have collectively drawn hundreds of thousands of people to Ocean County during the summer season. It is unconscionable that residents and tourists alike must see these unsightly shelters.

I urge your office to perform an inventory of the shelters in Ocean County and fix those shelters that have fallen into disrepair.

I thank you for your courtesies in this matter and for your anticipated cooperation.

Joseph Vicari Ocean County Freeholder Director

Treat The Whole Patient, Mind And Body In testimony submitted to a joint legislative committee this week, I outlined the Christie Administration’s goal to create a patient-centered system of care that would treat the “whole person” in the same setting and no longer cordon off mental and behavioral services from the rest of medical care.

Mental and substance use disorder health care should not be treated any differently than chronic diseases like diabetes or heart disease although, at times, the health care providers may be different.

Helping healthy New Jerseyans stay well, preventing those individuals at risk from getting sick, and keeping those individuals with chronic health conditions from becoming sicker—what we call Population Health—is a key focus not only for the New Jersey Department of Health, but also for our health care and community partners around the State.

Considering one of the main missions of the department is Population Health, it is impossible to meet the needs of all New Jerseyans by focusing only on their physical health. Mental illness and addictions can influence the onset, progression, and outcome of other illnesses and often correlates with health risk behaviors. The CDC estimates that half of American adults will develop a mental illness during their lifetime, that in any given year, 25% of

Letters To physical, Themental Editor American adults experience and addic- will benefit from having their a mental disorder, and that 1 in 17 American adults lives with a serious mental illness.

A CDC report found chronic diseases including diabetes, obesity, and cardiac disease, are associated with mental illness.

Similarly, people who suffer from addiction also tend to have one or more co-occurring health issues - chronic diseases; infectious diseases; or mental disorders. A public health crisis in Indiana serves as a recent example of how addiction can lead to further illness. An increase in injection of opioids caused HIV and hepatitis outbreaks in rural Indiana in 2015—leading their governor to declare a public health emergency. Health experts predict the lifetime cost of treatment for those individuals impacted could reach $58 million. Likewise, ensuring that pregnant women who use substances find the help they need to deliver a healthy baby is another critical area where physical and behavioral health care intersect.

Many frequent users of Emergency Departments have behavioral health conditions. Appropriate community-based care of their total health needs can reduce reliance on expensive hospital-based care, according to a 2016 study by Seton Hall Law School.

The transition to designate the Department of Health as the single state agency to perform the administrative and operational functions of mental health and addiction services will expedite the important integration of

tions health management.

As the state’s public health agency, the Department can identify risk factors, increase awareness about behavioral health and the effectiveness of treatment, reduce health disparities, and remove the stigma that prevents people from seeking and receiving the care they need.

In rural Tennessee, Cherokee Health Systems has become a national model for integrating primary care and behavioral health services at 22 Federally Qualified Health Care Center sites. A behavioral health care team is embedded in its primary care practice, and its success has been recognized by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. A study of Cherokee’s interdisciplinary team approach by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Tennessee found a 68% decrease in emergency room visits, a 32% decrease in referrals to specialists, and an overall 22% reduction in cost.

Recognizing the need for better integration, we have already granted a waiver allowing community health centers licensed by the Department to add behavioral health in shared clinical space.

This reorganization will allow us to take the next steps to ensure the on-going integration of care.

There is no question that the task ahead is challenging, and we understand the concerns that have been articulated.

But this reorganization is the first step in advancing a new system of integrated care.

As part of this transition, the Department will gain the expertise of the management team and staff who work in and supervise the psychiatric hospitals and oversee hundreds of mental health and substance use disorder contracts. This expertise will add to the Department’s long history of distributing $1.5 billion in community grants annually.

Creating a more efficient and coordinated system that treats the whole person is the right move for New Jersey and especially for patients who

behavioral and physical needs met in the same hospital clinic or community health center.

Cathleen D. Bennett Commissioner of the NJ Department of Health

Where Are Stories About Immigrants Stealing Jobs?

Why is the media bombarding us with heart wrenching stories of illegal immigrants facing deportation? On the hardships they and their families are facing? Where were and are the stories of the American families who were affected by them coming here long ago?

Americans lost jobs or had to work for lower wages because they were competing with these people who were willing to work for less. Some of these American families probably couldn’t make ends meet, couldn’t send their children to college, couldn’t pay medical bills, lost homes, and some probably broke up or couldn’t even get started.

Where I lived the illegals hung in front of Home Depot stealing construction and other labor intensive jobs. Then the town built a muster zone where they could wait for contractors to pick them up. Then the town started bus routes to pick them up around town and take them to the muster zone and industrial park. I guess you can work cheap when you live in overcrowded housing and get free transportation.

I know these events were replicated in other New Jersey towns and I would guess in other states as well. They took construction, cleaning, landscaping, factory and kitchen jobs. Then started families and the media only focuses on them. Many Americans would have done these jobs for a living wage. They knew the risk, they caused hardships for Americans.

Now that the laws are being enforced the media is only focusing on their families and completely ignoring the rest of the story.

BlueClaws:

Continued From Page 7 want to make sure people have a lot of fun and a terrific experience.”

Matin is a graduate of Albany, N.Y., High School where he played baseball.

“My baseball career was appropriately short,” said Matin, who graduated from the University of Rochester and the University of Chicago. “I was not very good. I played third base. I had no range and an erratic arm. I had a decent bat. I love the game. I am a lifelong fan. I have seen games in all 30 major league stadiums and my wife went with me to many of them. I have been to countless minor league stadiums.”

Matin said he has attended 5-10 Lakewood games at FirstEnergy Park.

“It is in great shape,” he said. “It has all of the amenities that parks built in the last couple of years don’t have. We want to make investments and make it better. We are looking at certain aspects of the stadium and the fan experience. We have a long laundry list of ideas to enhance the fan experience.

“We have a lot of connecting projects. We have the opportunity to learn more from the fan base and stakeholders of the team.

Some fans may say we need new picnic tables. Other fans might say we need a new Kids Zone.”

Tamashunas graduated from Holmdel High School, competing in baseball and boys soccer for the Hornets. He resided in Middletown and worked in New York City.

“Holmdel is where my baseball career ended,” he said with a smile.

The SAL, which utilizes a split-season format, marks the first full professional season for the majority of its players. The Phillies supply Lakewood with its players, manager, coaches, strength and conditioning staff and the medical staff. Philadelphia pays their salaries. Lakewood won the league title in 2006, 2009 and 2010.

Numerous major league players have come through Lakewood. They include former Philadelphia stars Cole Hamels and Ryan Howard, former Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz, New York Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ.

The BlueClaws entered the game with a 1418 record during the second half the season.

They were 54-48 overall. They narrowly missed out on a playoff berth during the first half of the season.

Matin said the ownership group’s top priority is providing top entertainment in a family oriented atmosphere.

“Winning is an added bonus,” he said.

“We don’t have one iota of control in terms of whether the team wins. Dayton holds the record for consecutive sellouts in all of professional sports. It set the record of 815 in 2011 and the streak is still alive. It set the record despite not being very good on the field. It’s much more about the family atmosphere, the food, the fan experience, the parents, the grandparents and the kids.

There is something for everyone in minor league baseball.”

7 Million Tickets Sold Rob Merten, 17, of Clark, saw Lakewood play at the stadium for the first time on July

The Manchester Times, August 5, 2017, Page 9 27. His visit was more than just a memory for him. It was an entry into the team’s history books. He was named the team’s seven millionth fan.

“It’s pretty cool, pretty exciting,” said Merten, the 222nd fan to enter the stadium at FirstEnergy Park. It was for a regular-season home game. “I was walking in and I had no idea it was happening. All of a sudden, everyone is yelling and cheering and taking my picture. Plus, it’s a milestone for the team and it’s pretty cool to be a part of that.”

Merten’s father, Robert, said the family attended the game for a corporate event with Service Corporation International.

The family viewed the game from a private box behind home plate and from a picnic area. Other family members on hand were Rob Merten’s sister, Amanda, and Robert Merten’s wife, Donna.

“We see them (team workers) with a megaphone and we have no clue what’s going on,” Robert Merten said. “I see them counting down the fans and I said, ‘This could be us.’ I was only here one other time when a nephew, Tom LaTorre, played in a game involving his traveling team.”

“I did not really know what was happening until I walked through,” Rob Merten said.

“My father was sure it was going to be him, but it ended up being me.”

Rob Merten, a rising senior at Arthur L. Johnson High School in Clark, received Lakewood tickets and a personal parking spot for the 2018 home season, a team item signed by Lakewood players, a seven-millionth fan Lakewood jersey and waiter-waitress service Thursday night. He threw out the ceremonial first pitch Thursday night.

He wore the jersey and a smile Thursday night.

“I kept hearing someone shouting, ‘30 (seconds left), 25 (seconds) left,’ “ he said. “I walked through the gate and everyone was asking me my name and taking my picture.

I have never won anything big in my life.”

Rob Merten, a New York Yankees fan, said he enjoyed the game and the experience.

“It looks like they are doing pretty well in terms of them playing,” said Rob Merten, who competes in boys lacrosse, boys swimming, cross country and track in high school. “Nothing really needs to change.

I had the classic feeling of sitting down, watching the game and eating hot dogs.

There is nothing that I would want the ownership to change.”

Lakewood is the fastest team in New Jersey and SAL history to attract seven millions fans to regular-season home games. The team has attracted 228,392 fans to FirstEnergy Park this year. The team has attracted 7,006,423 fans since coming to Lakewood, which has led New Jersey and the SAL in attendance each year since its 2001 inception.

“Seven million is very exciting,” Matin said. “I feel it’s very cool. It’s a big number.

The team is extremely well run. It was real exciting to watch that young man come through the gate.”

FirstEnergy Park has played host to numerous community, entertainment and youth baseball events.

“We will continue to use the stadium as fully as we can for community organizations,” Matin said. “We want to provide entertainment and youth baseball events.”

Prizes were donated by Sandy’s Cozy Corner and the Lakehurst Diner.

Closest to the pin on the 8th hole winner was Mary Nothnagel.

Longest drive on hole #1 for flight A/B was won by Brenda Bingaman.

Longest drive on hole #1 for flight C/D was won by Val Marchinetti.

Low gross for flight A was won by Laura Dickinson, and flight B was won by Judy Jones.

Author & Healing Medium Anysia Marcell Kiel Visits OCL

OCEAN COUNTY – Published author and Ocean County resident Anysia Marcell Kiel will be visiting 14 branches of the Ocean County Library to promote her new book, “Discovering the Healer Within.”

While many people are likely familiar with psychic mediums who do readings, few know about healing mediums who teach you how to clear illnesses and ailments in a noninvasive, peaceful way.

–Map courtesy Ocean County The area in yellow is being purchased by the county. It will join the portion in green, that is already owned by the county.

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – The Freeholders voted to purchase several tracts of land to preserve it as open space. One patch of land straddles Manchester and Jackson. The other is in the Bamber Lake section of Lacey.

The Manchester and Jackson property is 182 acres that was previously mined by Stavola, Freeholder John Bartlett said. It could have been only about 20 homes built on the property. There are about 200 acres to the north of it that the county already owns. These 182 acres would join that area of undeveloped land.

The property was described as Block 22501, Lot 1 in Jackson, and Block 62, Lot 31 in Manchester. The purchase price was not to exceed $2,415,000, plus up to $9,000 for property tax adjustments. It is across from the Pine Barrens Golf Club on South Hope Chapel Road.

The price was very attractive to the county, Bartlett said. Additionally, the purchase is eligible for a reimbursement for half of that by the U.S. Department of Defense. This is because the land helps provide a buffer for the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

The Lacey properties are described as Block

4029, Lots 2, 4, 5, and 10. The total cost was not to exceed $51,000, plus $400 for property tax adjustments.

They are made up of several privately owned lots that became available, Bartlett said. The total area of the new lots is 2.4 acres. This adds up to 1,700 acres in the area that is already preserved.

The money comes from the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund. This is money generated by an open space tax residents voted for two decades ago.

A municipality has to approve of the purchase before the county buys it, Bartlett said, in case they had other plans for the land. Often, the purchases are used to create contiguous open space to protect resources, such as drinking water.

“When an opportunity comes about that looks good, we jump on it,” he said.

In related news, Jackson gave the county a lot of property described as Block 16901, Lot 23. This is land along Route 571. It was acquired by Jackson during a tax foreclosure.

They had no use for the land except to widen the road if it needed to be widened in the future. So, the township gave it to the county.

Resident Reminder: No Knock Registry Available

MANCHESTER – Residents who no longer wish to receive door-to-door visits from vendors are invited to sign up for Manchester Township’s newly created “No Knock Registry.” The registry permits all residents to register with the Township Clerk indicating that they do not want hawkers, peddlers, solicitors or canvassers to approach their homes and/or seek contact with the occupants of the registered home. Registration can be completed through a form made available in the Township Clerk’s office or on the link below.

Once registered, the Clerk’s Office will provide a self-adhering sticker, free of charge, if picked up at the Clerk’s Office during normal business hours. Residents may elect to apply by mail and have their sticker delivered for a $1 processing and mailing fee (checks can

be made payable to Manchester Township).

The Clerk’s Office will maintain the “No Knock” registry. Vendors must inspect the list and cannot approach any residence on the list, or face a fine of up to $1,000, 90 days in prison or 90 days community service.

The registry will be provided to any licensee who is issued a license to conduct door to door sales pursuant to Manchester Township Code #301-21. It should be noted that registration upon the “No Knock” Registry does not prohibit door to door solicitation by non-profit, charitable, religious or political organizations, as these types of solicitations are protected by the First Amendment.

An application for the No Knock Registry can be downloaded at manchestertwp.com/ wp-content/uploads/2016/04/No-KnockApplication-Form1.pdf.

“I Need A Hearing Aid, But My Finances Are Tight”

You know that you may need hearing aids, the kids are yelling at you to do something and your spouse keeps telling you to turn the television down. You are not alone in feeling that hearing aids may not be an option due to the upfront expense. Hearing aids are a great rehabilitative tool when you have the funds accessible but what if you don’t? We never want to ask our children for help because we know that they have very busy lives. So, what is your next move?

Here are some options that you may or may not have been aware of. Did you know that hearing aids are a tax deduction? Hearing aids are a medical device used for aural rehabilitation and can be claimed on your income taxes.

Do you have a work f lex plan? A flex plan is a plan that can be elected through your health insurance at the new year open enrollment, which is usually in November/December, for health expenses that you know you

will be incurring such as hearing aids.

You elect the amount needed and it is available to you thereafter. You can elect this option and have the funds taken out of your paycheck or even have a credit card that is tied to your plan depending on your health care carrier. To fi nd out more information on flex plans, contact your health care provider and ask about enrollment options. Flex plans also have certain pre tax advantages.

What about finance plans? Here at Garden State Hearing and Balance Center we offer a 12-month zero percent interest fi nancing option to all patients who would like improved hearing without any significant upfront cost. Let’s face it, sometimes the peace of mind knowing that the extra cash that you have can now be used for a true emergency is price less. Your hearing is a precious gift, so let’s not waste it.

Dr. Izzy would like to thank Dr. Tiffany Berth for contributing to this article.

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!

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

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

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

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

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

The Healthy For Good movement is based on four pillars: Eat Smart. Add Color. Move More.

Be Well. According to the American Heart Association, less than 1 percent of Americans meet the association’s definition of ideal cardiovascular health, primarily due to poor diet. In the U.S., about two in three adults and one in three children are overweight or obese. Around 45 percent of adults are not sufficiently active to receive health benefits and about one in three adults participate in NO leisure time physical activity.

Nominations for the Lifestyle Change Award can be submitted by friends, co-workers or relatives or individuals can nominate themselves.

Please note that in order to be considered, individuals must be non-smokers or smoke-free for a minimum of six months. Nomination forms are available at ShorelineHeartWalk.org or by calling the American Heart Association at 609223-3711.

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

Alzheimer’s Is A Guessing Game

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. There are a few words that terrify people as soon as their uttered by a physician. One of them is Alzheimer’s disease. When you hear that word, it’s like time stops.

A new report has considered the fear that we have when it comes to Alzheimer’s.

Researchers evaluated 1,641 adults over the age of 50 and found that certain factors are known to increase our fear of developing Alzheimer’s, not the disease itself, but fear of getting it.

What are the three factors?

1. Stress 2. Genetics 3. Self-determined faulty memory Stewing about these factors doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going down the rabbit hole.

I worry more about you getting diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, when you don’t have it!

That’s the sad reality that happens every day! How do I know? People get smacked with labels constantly, and dropped into the sinking ship called the “medical system” that is frequently too quick to cut, poison and burn. There’s a difference between an ailing memory and Alzheimer’s disease. It’s common sense.

According to preliminary results from a new study presented recently in London, diagnosing Alzheimer’s is a guessing game.

Doctors evaluated 4,000 Medicare patients who had mild cognitive impairment or dementia, and discovered that that many of them definitively do not have Alzheimer’s!

Could you be one of those elderly people that have reduced memory function, but not actually Alzheimer’s disease? The treatment differs, you know.

The average retail price for a month supply of a popular Alzheimer’s medication is $497 of cold, hard cash. One challenge we have is that well-meaning doctors don’t even think twice about prescribing Alzheimer’s medications. Adding to the challenge, pharmaceutical companies promote the glories of said-drug, adding to the indiscriminate prescribing problem, which in my honest opinion, is already haphazard.

So unfortunately, Alzheimer’s is a guessing game. We know patients tend to have sticky clumps of beta-amyloid in their brains. You can see these using PET-scans (often not reimbursed), or via painful spinal taps. So obviously, most people do not endure these expensive or invasive procedures. They are told they have Alzehimer’s anyway, without a definitive diagnosis, often based on their poor memory recall or recent personality changes. Down the rabbit hole you go.

Some practitioners don’t think with enough compassion or they wouldn’t toss the name “Alzheimer’s” out so fast. I’ve been on the other side of this (not personally) but close enough to see how families get ruined, how lives and finances become catastrophic due to one word, perhaps mold, or Lyme, or Alzheimer’s, or “insert your disease here.”

What can be measured? Quinolinic acid (from the substrate L-tryptophan). It can be evaluated and while having high levels doesn’t equate to Alzheimer’s, it’s better than diagnosing on symptoms. We do know this compound is generated in excess in people with Alzheimer’s disease. If you’d like to read a more detailed version sign up for my newsletter at SuzyCohen.com and I’ll email it to you.

United Way Of Monmouth & Ocean Counties Raised $55K In Spring Tee-Off

FAR MINGDALE – United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties (UWMOC) hosted its 20th annual Spring TeeOff on June 26 at the Hollywood Golf Club in Deal. Over 100 golfers enjoyed a round of golf at one of New Jersey’s premier courses, as well as lunch, dinner,

a 50/50 raff le, awards and the chance to win over 35 silent auction items. Thanks to the attendees and top sponsors of the event, UWMOC raised over $55,000.

Those sponsors included Enter prise Rent-A-Car, Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation, New Jersey Natural Gas, Asbury

Park Press, Deloitte, OceanFirst Bank, Tait Weller and Hackensack Meridian Health. Proceeds from the event, one of the organization’s largest fundraisers, will benefit United Way’s work in education, health and financial stability – the building blocks for a good life and the

foundation for a thriving, prosperous community.

“This was the organization’s first Spring Tee-Off as a combined agency serving both Monmouth and Ocean counties, and we were happy to attract companies and individuals from our newly expanded region to participate,” says George Destafney of OceanFirst Bank, a United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties board member and Chair of the Spring Tee-Off Committee. “These funds will go a long way in furthering the important work we’re doing in our community.”

Currently, United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ work in education focuses on early g rade reading and summer literacy, out-of-school time, kindergarten readiness and preparing high school students to transition to college or career. The financial stability work includes supported employment for people with disabilities, food insecurity and housing instability, and the Financial Success Center in the Freehold Raceway Mall. In health, UWMOC focuses on safer kids and families, high-risk behaviors, residential support for people with disabilities, senior services, addiction and mental health and programs for adults with impaired mobility.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Summer Tourists Should Treat The Shore Like Home Dear Joel, I would just like to weigh in on summer visitors to the shore. I live near the beach and I love it. Every year, the locals complain about crowded restaurants, traffic, noise and bad behavior. I appreciate their visits and the business they bring to our area’s merchants who depend on them, but I admit, I’ve thought some pretty unkind things too. I wish people would realize that this area is our home. Maybe if you said something, they would act like guests in our home instead of invaders.

Your thoughts?

Kelly, Point Pleasant Beach Dear Kelly, I agree. Summer tourists are an essential part of the economy, and their visits always mean more traffic and fewer parking spaces and tables in restaurants. They can’t help that. That being said, visitors should remember

that people do live here. Hopefully now that TV shows like Jersey Shore are off the air people will remember their manners. There are plenty of places to go if you want to make some noise – like the amusement parks, racetrack and nightclubs, but blasting radios at the beach, talking loudly in the streets after 11 p.m., leaving trash around or being rude to service people just because you’ll never see them again is unacceptable. The shore people look forward to your visits and get ready to welcome you. Please treat the shore as a place you want to visit, not a place you want to get away from.

Happy summer to all.

Inside The Law Workers’ Compensation Checklist

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Providing Home Care Services in NJ and PA for Over 20 Years.

PreferredCares.com

Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea & Associates

The New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act allows for numerous benefits should you sustain an injury out of and in the course of your employment. Please allow this article to provide you with a checklist to determine whether you are receiving the appropriate benefits under the law.

Did you report your accident or injury to your employer? By statute you are provided a short period of time to actually notify your employer of the injury.

The most restrictive notice requirement is applied when a hernia is alleged, as you have only forty-eight (48) hours to report this. Although other accidents and injuries allow for more leniency, as you may be entitled to medical treatment, all injuries should be reported as soon as possible.

Have you sought medical treatment? After providing notice to your employer that you have sustained an injury, you should seek medical attention immediately, should same be necessary. The longer that one waits to request medical treatment, the harder it will be to causally connect the injury to the incident at work. In addition, injuries often respond better to appropriate medical treatment provided in a reasonable time, rather than allowing the injury to worsen before attempting treatment.

Has your employer notified the workers’ compensation insurance carrier? This is important so that you are provided with a claim number to provide to medical providers to insure payment on your behalf.

Also, although you provide notice to your employer, future endeavors relative to the claim will be more efficiently completed if the carrier is immediately put on notice.

Has your employer or its workers’ compensation insurance carrier provided you with a medical professional with whom to seek medical treatment? On some occasions, the employer may indicate that you should seek treatment and bring the employer any outstanding medical bills. This is contrary to the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act and usually signifies that the carrier has not yet been notified. It is important that you understand that the employer, through its carrier, has the right to choose the physicians from whom you receive medical treatment for compensable injuries. A physician you choose, with the intention of providing bills to the employer, is not authorized and may not be recognized by the carrier in the future.

Is the physician with whom you are treating providing you with reasonable and necessary medical treatment? Christopher R. Shea Esq. It is important that you provide the authorized medical professional with all of your medical complaints that are related to the compensable injury, and that all of those complaints are addressed by that physician.

Are you receiving temporary disability benefits through the workers’ compensation carrier for 70 % of your standard average weekly wage? This is required in the event that the authorized physician indicates that you are temporary totally disabled, or able to return to modified duty which can not be accommodated by your employer. Temporary disability through your employer is not the same as disability through the State and need not be applied for. In the event that you are instructed to apply for disability through the State, you are not getting the benefit as provided by Statute.

After completion of your medical treatment and temporary disability benefits, have you received compensation for the permanent disability arising out of your compensable injury? If you have received benefits, have you contacted an attorney to determine whether these benefits are consistent with the injury and disability you sustained?

Although this checklist may not be comprehensive, it is a starting point to determine whether you are receiving the appropriate benefits under the law. Should any of the above not be consistent with the benefits you are receiving, there are actions that may be taken by an attorney to bring your matter before the court so that the issues may be resolved.

Understanding Shoulder Replacement Surgery By: Kimberly Salvato, DPT, Manchester Physical Therapist

TOTAL SHOULDER REPLACEMENT The total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) was first performed in the United States in the 1950’s. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, about 53,000 people in the U.S. have their shoulder replaced each year. This compares to more than 900,000 Americans a year who have knee and hip replacements. The main goal of shoulder replacement surgery is to decrease pain, while also increasing mobility, strength, and function in order to help the patient return to normal life.

ANATOMY OF THE SHOULDER (GLENOHUMERAL JOINT) The shoulder is made up of three bones: the humerus (upper arm bone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the clavicle (collar bone). Much like a ball and socket joint, the head of the humerus (the ball) fits into the socket of the scapula, called the glenoid cavity; this makes up the glenohumeral joint. The second portion of the shoulder is called the rotator cuff, and is made up of four muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis). These muscles aid in holding the head of the humerus into the glenoid cavity during shoulder elevation, so partial dislocation (subluxation) does not occur.

WHO NEEDS A TOTAL SHOULDER REPLACEMENT? Increased shoulder pain can be debilitating, and can significantly impact one’s quality of life. Patients with progressing shoulder pathology, persistent pain, and loss of function, benefit from a total shoulder replacement.

These pathologies include: • Advanced osteoarthritis (OA) • Rheumatoid arthritis • Disease of the rotator cuff • Osteonecrosis • Fractures of the humeral head Advanced OA, is the most common reason to have surgery. Patients frequently hear the term “bone on bone” which means there has been a significant deterioration of the normal smooth cartilage that lines the joint. Smooth cartilage is important because it allows the ball and socket to glide against one another during movement. Surgical management is considered

when conservative treatment, such as rehabilitation, corticosteroid injection, anti-inflammatory medication, and pain medication (analgesics) fail to provide relief.

IS A TOTAL SHOULDER REPLACEMENT RIGHT FOR YOU? The decision to have shoulder replacement surgery should be a mutual decision between you, your family, your family physician, and your orthopedic surgeon. As mentioned above, if conservative treatment was performed without relief of symptoms, then shoulder replacement surgery can be a great option to help increase your functional independence, and regain your quality of life.

SHOULDER REPLACEMENT OPTIONS: TOTAL V. REVERSE SHOULDER REPLACEMENT • Total shoulder replacement: TSA is a surgical procedure that replaces the damaged glenohumeral joint with artificial components called prosthesis.

Typically, the head of the humerus, and the glenoid cavity are both replaced. The damaged humeral head is replaced with a metal ball and stem, which is placed into the shaft of the humerus. The glenoid cavity is replaced with a new smooth plastic surface.

• Reverse shoulder replacement: If you have severe rotator cuff damage or a complete rotator cuff tear then a reverse total shoulder replacement might be better for you as a total shoulder replacement could still leave you with pain, and the inability to lift your arm above shoulder level.

In a reverse total shoulder replacement, the socket and metal ball are switched. The metal ball replaces the shoulder socket and a plastic socket is attached where the head of the humerus was. In addition, due to the irreparable damage to the rotator cuff, the deltoid muscle now becomes the primary mover during shoulder elevation.

HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP AFTER SURGERY Although results of a TSA vary from patient to patient depending upon the underlying diagnosis, the results of having TSA are very satisfactory. Physical therapy after a TSA has a large success rate because the procedure involves soft tissue reconstruction of ligaments, muscles, and tendons.

Physical therapists are well educated in the precautions and post-surgical care following a TSA in order to increase overall functional activity. The primary goal of shoulder replacement surgery is pain relief, with along with the benefit of restoring motion and strength in order to return to sport or other recreational activities. Patients are permitted to use their hand, and wrist soon after surgery, and their elbow and shoulder approximately six weeks after surgery for light activity. Unrestricted, active use of the arm may begin as early as eight weeks after surgery. It is important to realize that patients typically will not be pain free until about 6-12 months after surgery. After one year, 95% of TSA patients enjoy pain-free function, which enables them to exercise the shoulder and return to the activities they enjoy.

KIMBERLY SALVATO, DPT Kimberly Salvato received her Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and minor in Behavioral Neuroscience at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in 2012. Following the completion of her undergraduate degree, Kimberly attended graduate school at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia and received her Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2015. As a student, Kimberly received extensive training treating patients post-stroke in an acute setting and patient post-surgical in an outpatient orthopedic setting. Kimberly then spent four months on her last affiliation in orthopedics and sports medicine, where she studied under renowned sports physical therapists, athletic trainers, and strength and conditions specialists.

Kimberly learned valuable knowledge working with high school and college athletes, predominately with ACL and meniscal injuries.

Kimberly believes in using evidenced based practice (EBP) in order to provide high-quality care to her patients. She has even participated in a group research project examining the efficacy of Thera-Band elastic bands versus free weights when performing external rotation of the shoulder, which she hopes will become published.

Kimberly’s approach to treatment utilizes various techniques she has learned including: Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), Kinesio Taping Method, and manual therapy techniques including Maitland, Mulligan, and McKenzie approaches.

United Way Hosts Annual “Stuff The Bus” Drive For School Supplies

NEW JERSEY – United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties is holding its annual “Stuff the Bus” school supply drive at five locations throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties to meet the growing demand for school supplies needed by children throughout the community. Sponsored by J.F. Kiely Construction Co. and New Jersey Natural Gas, the drive is designed to help ensure that all children begin the school year with the tools they need to succeed.

“Providing these educational supplies helps support a child’s ability to learn while removing some of the financial burden from both parents and teachers,” says Timothy Hearne, President & CEO of United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. “Donations from the Stuff the Bus drive allow children from low-income households to focus on their assignments instead of worrying about whether they have the tools to complete them.”

Stuff the Bus events will be held at five local stores, all from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., where shoppers are invited to donate new school supplies to the drive:

August 5 at Walmart in Brick and Walmart in Freehold.

August 12 at Wegmans in Ocean Township, Walmart in Manahawkin and Walmart in Neptune.

In addition to providing an opportunity to donate school supplies, United Way offers volunteers a way to give their time to the drive. Volunteers ages 12 and up are needed at the community events. Interested volunteers can register by contacting Jackie Liguori at 848-206-2037 or jliguori@uwmoc.org.

For more information about the Stuff the Bus drive and United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, please visit uwmoc.org.

United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties fights for the education, health and financial stability of residents in Monmouth and Ocean counties. The organization partners with area nonprofits, businesses, schools, governments, individuals and volunteers to build initiatives that create lasting change while encouraging others to give, advocate and volunteer for the benefit of our community.

BUSINESS PROFILE If you’ve ever waited for your computer to download a song, pictures from family, or a video of the last family reunion, you know the wait can seem to take an eternity. If your web surfing has ever slowed to a web crawl, you know the frustration. If your computer has ever mysteriously shut itself down in the middle of the project that you forgot to save, you the know anger.

What you may not know is, the InnerNet Computer Store v.2 in Toms River can solve those problems and more. In fact, they’ve been helping Ocean County residents rekindle their relationship with their computers for over 10 years. It’s a job that store manager and lead technician Anthony Bozich enjoys, “For me, it’s all about the challenge. Most computers don’t require a complex repair, but some do test my knowledge and expertise. When I can repair it without having to tell the customer they need to buy a new, more expensive machine, it’s always gratifying.”

Sadly, most computer manufacturers’ idea of customer support is a central phone number that gets answered by someone halfway around the world. Costing you time and eroding your already thinned patience. At the InnerNet Computer Store v.2, it’s all about local customer service. When you come to the store, you’re greeted by the qualified technicians who will be working on your components. They’ll compile detailed information regarding the issues you’re experiencing, while offering advice and answering all your questions. A stop at the InnerNet Computer Store v.2 is like meeting with your own personal IT professional. Bozich explains, “When we take in a repair, we make sure to get as much information as possible from the customer. We take the time and really listen to their issues and concerns. The

The InnerNet Computer Store

more we know about how the machine is acting when in use, the easier we’ll be able to root out the issues. It really helps ensure a successful repair.”

Co-owners Kevin and Tara Oliver are life-long Ocean and Atlantic County residents and know the meaning of helping out their neighbors. “At the InnerNet Computer Store, we proudly offer discounts to area seniors, military personnel and first responders.

It’s only right that we treat these men and women with the respect that they deserve. It’s our way of giving a little something back to them.” Says Bozich. This has made the InnerNet Computer Store v.2 a hit among the local senior population. The store’s customer base is largely made up of seniors who use their computers and laptops to stay in touch with family and friends. Anthony Bozich explains, “Our customer base consists of about 85% seniors. Most have been with us since we first opened our doors.

They rely on their computers to communicate with their family members each day. That means they rely on us to keep their computers up and running. Our customers are always at ease when they recognize the same technicians that are here each time they stop in.” Perhaps the most attractive benefit the store

offers is their convenient pick- up and delivery service. It’s a popular option with any paid service at the store.

In addition to computer repairs and service, the store also handles data recovery and transfer, virus clean-up, hardware and software upgrades, virtualization, and customer windows 10 operating systems. They also service iMac, MacBook, and other Apple devices. They can even save the day should you ever crack the screen on your phone or tablet as they offer expert screen replacement for both devices, as well as, battery replacements.

If your computer system is operating just fine, you can keep it running that way with a maintenance plan from the InnerNet Computer Store v.2. Their technicians will do quarterly clean-ups and routine service at a reasonable rate. Advanced packages are also available. Customers enjoy the convenience of having their computer’s health monitored remotely to avoid costly unforeseen repairs. The InnerNet Computer Store v.2 keeps them updated on scheduled service and any early warning signs of system trouble.

These days, video gaming popularity is at an all-time high.

Many gamers take their systems and equipment very seriously.

Video game players now have

a place to have custom gaming systems designed and created.

The InnerNet Computer Store v.2 has designed one of a kind systems for some very happy gamers. “Our gaming systems can be customized to the meet the needs of the novice gamer, all the way up to the serious gamer.

We offer such upgrades as solid state hard drives with large storage drives, high end CPU’s with water cooling systems and more,” explains Bozich.

The InnerNet Computer Store v.2 isn’t just a place for computer repair and service. They also sell new computers and accessories.

For those on a tight budget, the InnerNet Computer Store v.2 even has refurbished machines that their specialists have evaluated and repaired to complete working order. It’s a great way to get the system you’ve been looking for, at a price that fits. Anthony explains, “Often, reconditioned machines are the perfect fit for our customers. Most of the reconditioned machines we have are bought from small business or companies that are selling their office grade PCs. These are nice machines that no longer fit their needs. We swap all hard drives with new solid state drives to allow them to perform at their top performance. We’ll then diagnose them, replace the outdated parts and technology, and

install a custom Windows 10 OS created by one of our technicians to assist with a transition from your XP, Win7 or Win8 experience into Windows 10.” Bozich adds “The Windows 7/10 Edition is a very popular choice among our customers. Windows 7 is no longer available for purchase and was very popular for the last decade.

We at The InnerNet Computer store has have created a Windows 10 operating system that looks and feels exactly like Windows 7.” “I Guarantee you will not notice the difference,” Anthony stated.

The store’s newest offering is a do it yourself smart home kit from JAQX. The system allows the user to control their home’s lighting, thermostat, appliances and security from their smart phone. It represents the newest technology in the home security and automation industry. It can either be purchased right from the store’s website at innernetstore. com, or in the store. Stop in for a hands-on demonstration of the JAQX system.

In addition to store manager, Anthony Bozich, the InnerNet Computer Store is staffed with several additional technicians who are qualified to meet the needs of their customers, both on the retail side and commercial side. The recently renovated showroom area features a clean and comfortable seating for those customers whose computer issues can be fixed while they wait. The store is open Monday through Friday from 10am to 7pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm. The store is located at 1451 Route 37 West, Suite 3, next to Lester Glenn Subaru in Toms River.

Walk-ins are welcome or you can call them at 732-281-3133.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen In The Raw: Try A Dish That Highlights Fresh Fish At Its Finest

By Wolfgang Puck

In my early years as a chef, one of the most basic, and best, lessons I learned was to taste ingredients raw. Experiencing even a little bit of food in its uncooked state is a perfect way to get a sense of its flavors and textures, so you’ll always keep in mind the inherent qualities you want to highlight in the finished dish.

Sometimes, taking that initial raw taste might also inspire you not to cook a particular ingredient at all, or to cook it only briefly. That is certainly the case with many kinds of seafood, which over the past couple of decades many people have learned to enjoy raw or very lightly seared.

Just a few decades ago, food lovers in western countries might still have been wary of eating raw seafood - apart, of course, from longtime traditional specialties like raw oysters and cold-smoked salmon or lox. But the rising popularity of sushi dramatically changed people’s attitudes and also made people more receptive to other styles of raw or barely cooked premium fresh seafood, such as the citrus-marinated ceviche served in Latin American countries or the crudo (literally, “raw”) of Italy.

Such raw seafood specialties make wonderful summertime appetizers. Cool, light and refreshing, they’re perfect to serve as a first course or light lunchtime main dish.

Take, for example, my recipe for seared salmon and sea bass crudo with avocado.

Inspired by casual dishes I observed and prepared myself as a young chef working in the South of France and Monaco, this recipe relies upon the freshest, finest raw fish fillets you can find. Fortunately, many markets today sell such seafood labeled as “sushi grade” to indicate that it’s of the highest standard suitable for serving and eating raw. Of course, you should also let your eyes and nose confirm that the fillets are in perfect condition, looking firm and bright in color with no aromas other than a fresh clean scent of the sea.

My recipe gives you the option of preparing the fish either in its most pristine raw state or, if you or your guests might prefer just a hint of cooking, searing the fillets lightly first. Either way, the fish is then cut into thin slices that are briefly marinated with a simple dressing of olive oil and citrus juice or vinegar, the acidity of which firms it up a bit just as light cooking would. Draped over thin wedges of avocado and garnished with fresh herbs, the crudo makes a beautiful presentation

as refreshing to look at as it is to eat.

I hope you’ll try this recipe soon, and discover for yourself the pleasures of the freshest seafood in its most pristine state.

SEARED SALMON AND SEA BASS CRUDO WITH AVOCADO Serves 6 9 ounces (280 g) absolutely fresh sushi-grade salmon fillet, skin removed 9 ounces (280 g) absolutely fresh sushi-grade sea bass fillet, skin removed 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra if searing the fish 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, lemon juice or good-quality Champagne vinegar Fine sea salt Freshly ground black pepper 3 ripe but slightly firm Hass-style avocados 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives or tarragon 3 lemons, thinly sliced, seeds removed If you plan to sear the fish, first heat a nonstick skillet large enough to hold both pieces of fish over high heat. Drizzle in a very thin coating of olive oil and, when the oil is hot enough to flow freely in the pan and just beginning to give off the slightly wisps of smoke, add the 2 fish fillets and cook them on both large sides for about 1 minute per side, just until seared brown, turn them carefully with tongs.

Transfer the fish fillets, whether seared or raw, to a clean cutting board. With a very sharp chef’s knife, cut each fillet diagonally at a 45-degree angle into 6 paper-thin slices, as you would slice smoked salmon.

Arrange the fish slices without overlapping on a large platter.

In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Drizzle this dressing over the fish. Loosely cover the platter and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Halve and pit the avocados. With a large metal spoon, keeping its edge against the inside of an avocado half’s skin, carefully scoop out the flesh in a single piece from each avocado half. Place the avocado halves cut side down on a clean cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut each half lengthwise into 8 thin, crescent-shaped wedges.

Arrange 4 avocado slices on each of 4 chilled serving plates. Drape a slice each of salmon and sea bass on top of the avocado on each plate. Sprinkle with chives or tarragon, garnish with lemon slices, and serve immediately.
