By Sara Grillo M A NCH EST ER – The town of Manchester is home to this year’s Ms. New Jersey Senior America, Carolyn Slade Harden, who recently competed for the crown in the “Age of Elegance” pageant at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City.

Ms. Senior America honors the achievements and inner beauty of women 60 years of age and older and encourages them to share their positive outlook on life with others. To

win the pageant, which included categories of talent, philosophy of life, gown and a private interview, Harden sang the song “For Once In My Life.”

Harden grew up in Newark, New Jersey alongside eight sibli ngs. To enter t ai n themselves at night, they would all sing. She sang during the day, too, and studied opera at Arts High School, the first public high school in the nation to specialize in visual and

Russo Remembered As A Senator For The People

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – John Russo, Sr. was remembered as a politician for the people, and an “icon” of the kind of bipartisan politics that is rare to find anymore.

Russo succumbed to cancer at the age of 84. He had been elected to the state senate in 1973, and was Senate President from 1986 to

1990. He served as acting governor, and ran for that office as well.

Additionally he had a career as an attorney and as assistant prosecutor in Ocean County.

Continued From Page 1 on the ballot together in 1983. She ran for Assembly that year, besting Warren Wolf.

“His loss is a public loss, but also a profound personal loss to those of us who knew him,” she said.

“Although our political relationship ended a long time ago when we stopped getting elected,” their personal relationship continued, she said.

They were just on the beach together a few weeks ago.

“Even in his very weakened state, his daughter made sure he got his beach time in,” she said.

She said Russo was the personification of the American Dream. Here was a poor kid from Asbury Park, selling clothing out of the back of his car to make money, but he wanted to go to Notre Dame. An alumnus arranged to get him an interview to try to get into the prestigious school. “He was too proud to admit he couldn’t afford the trip,” so he hitchhiked to the interview.

From then, he went on to Columbia Law School.

“From very humble beginnings, he overcame that and became a very critical figure in New Jersey government,” she said.

Former Ocean County Freeholder and mayor of Toms River, Paul Brush, said his influence is still being felt today.

“He was an icon in Ocean County politics and also in the state,” he said. Russo worked bipartisanly, under a Republican governor, Tom Kean Sr., and Brush stated that the two worked well together.

“They just did what they thought was right,” he said.

Russo On The Death Penalty One of Russo’s more public fights was over the

deciding.

“That was his mantra: the people should be heard,” he said.

That has since fallen by the wayside.

Another trait that seems to belong to a bygone era was his disdain for dirty campaigning. He used to scream at any local politicians who went negative in their campaigning, he said.

Another piece of his legacy belongs to the caps law, which limited a municipality’s spending, a precursor to the one that governs towns now.

“It was innovative. It set the tone to put the reins on political spending,” Brush said.

Russo, the late Daniel Newman (former Assemblyman and mayor of Brick), and John Paul Doyle (former Assemblyman) opened up a joint legislative committee, with former Pine Beach mayor Russell Corby heading the staff. Their job was to hear from constituents and fix problems.

“It became a model for across the state,” Brush said. “It’s become an accepted practice.”

Prior to that, every legislative office had a different system, Corby explained.

Theirs was different because it “stressed constituent services and community outreach, he said. “It allowed them, as a team, to focus on legislation.”

As a result, Russo sponsored or enacted more than 200 bills.

A lot of ink has also been used to describe his ban on assault weapons. The governor wanted it done, and he rose to the challenge, Brush said.

“It was not very popular but he thought it was the right thing to do and New Jersey has had a ban on assault weapons for the last 25 years or so,” he said.

“He was an icon and I don’t think we’ll see someone like him again,” Brush said. “We sure

miss him.”

About twenty years ago, Russo, as an attorney, represented Berkeley Township to fight a program that would allow sending districts to sever ties with a regional school district. The issue involved towns leaving Central Regional.

Dale Florio, who heads up the Princeton Public Affairs Group, which Russo worked for as an attorney since 1992, wrote on the company’s web site that Russo was a friend and mentor to his colleagues.

“We hesitate to call John a ‘throwback’ when partisanship stayed in the statehouse and you could ‘break bread’ together after the day’s work.

To us, John was and will always be an example of how those of us who engage in the science of politics should practice our craft,” he wrote.

Senator and former Governor Richard J. Codey said he valued Russo’s friendship.

“John used his political skills, his breadth of knowledge and his strength of character to address the issues that defined an era and that continue to shape the quality of life in New Jersey,” Codey said in a press release. “He put progress ahead of politics, teamwork ahead of partisanship and shared success ahead of personal achievement. John’s primary goal was always to get things done. As a result, he was both well liked and highly respected.”

Tom Kean Jr., son of the former governor and head of the Senate Republicans, offered his condolences.

“On behalf of the Senate Republicans, I would like to offer our condolences to Bob, Caryl, and their entire family on the passing of Senate President Russo,” he said. “He was a dedicated public servant, a loving father, and a leader committed to improving New Jersey for all its residents.”

death penalty.

In 1982, Russo helped reinstate the death penalty. In 2007, it was being argued before the Senate budget panel on whether to keep it or do away with it.

“If you’re going to have a society that follows law and order, people have to feel that the punishment fits the crime,’’ he told the Ocean County Observer in 2007. At the time, New Jersey had eight men on death row and hadn’t executed anyone since 1963.

“I don’t look for an execution. I get no satisfaction to see someone’s execution. I just want the penalty to be available,’’ he said, for the “most unusual and grievous’’ cases.

Although his father was murdered in Asbury Park by a robber on New Year’s Day in 1970, he had said this did not influence his feelings.

The robber would not have fit the criteria for the penalty, he said. The robber didn’t go there intending to murder.

Ultimately, there was much more opposition to the death penalty, and the punishment was changed to life without parole. People arguing against the death penalty stated that since New Jersey hadn’t actually executed anyone recently, it was essentially life without parole anyway.

Additionally, there provided some small measure of closure for the family of the victims, in that they did not have to be dragged into the ongoing appeal process as the accused convict perennially tried to fight their pending execution.

Russo’s Legacy Although much has been written about Russo’s fight for the death penalty, his legacy was larger than that, Brush said. He started a movement that made all Senate bills be posted. That way, the public would know what lawmakers were

Continued From Page 1 performing arts. Leading roles in Madame Butterfly, Aida and Carmen led to a career down the road in music, where she sang with Dionne Warwick, Dee Dee Warwick and Cissy Houston in several gospel groups.

Harden produced three music records during the 1960s that topped the charts in multiple U.S. cities. Her debut songs were “I Saw You With My Best Friend” and “Eavesdropping,” followed by “I Wanna Know Right Now,” which was written by Van McCoy. Harden also served as choir director at churches throughout New Jersey, including the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, where she conducted Whitney Houston in her first solo performance.

“Growing up with family of singers as well, it kind of came natural to want to do that and to pursue that,” she said.

These days, Harden spends her time at the Renaissance at Manchester, and was one of the first 300 people to move in back when the community was built. She is of course involved with directing the Renaissance Adult Community Chorus.

While singing came naturally, competing was a first for Ms. Harden, who said she joined the pageant in order to give back.

“They’ve got a gracious group of women,” she said, adding, “I wanted to be a part of it.”

It turned out that the only way to be a part of it was to participate in the pageant.

The fi rst time that women from the Ms. Senior America organization came to the Renaissance to recruit for the pageant, she said no, as she was caring for her husband at the time. But the second time they came, she said yes.

One of those Ms. Senior America women, who became a mentor during the pageant, was someone Harden went to high school with and who, like her, sang opera.

School:

Continued From Page 1 so happy the timing is finally right,” said Principal Lisa Michallis. “A tremendous amount of research went into developing a dynamic program that will utilize the Creative Curriculum and modify the classroom to accommodate students who may require constant medical care. We are very excited to be expanding our RDS family to include the preschool population.”

In order to join the program, children must be between the ages of three and five and eligible to receive special education under state guidelines. Preschool special

The Manchester Times, August 19, 2017, Page 5 Harden said that while she has a great support system at the Renaissance and is very involved with activities there, she still had too much time on her hands. She liked what the Ms. America group was doing, working in the community and with seniors.

As Ms. Senior America, she will travel throughout the state as the featured performer in all New Jersey Cameo Club Showcases, performing in 55 and over communities, clubs, veterans’ hospitals, assisted living facilities and nursing homes. Her duties also include promoting the positive aspects of aging.

Ms. America duties aside, Harden is someone who doesn’t stop at just one skill set. She received a Bachelor’s degree in Management Science with a major in Finance from Kean University, and just closed her business OfficeXperts, LLC last year.

She currently runs the Harden Institute for Financial Independence, also known as the HIFI Club, where she helps teach youth the importance of managing their money, planning for the future and getting financially ready for college.

Part of the HIFI Club is members of her own family. Harden has family members spread across 36 states, and she serves as family mentor, accompanying the parents of young cousins, nieces and nephews to the bank, or with setting up trust funds and investments.

Perhaps due to her sound financial skills and advice, she has a daughter and son who are both successful entrepreneurs, as well as a granddaughter, grandson and great-granddaughter who no doubt have bright futures ahead.

Harden will now go on to compete against women from other states in the Ms. Senior America National Pageant at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City in October.

“I think Nationals offers an even greater challenge to get involved and I’m looking forward to doing that too,” she said.

education services designate that a child must have a 33 percent delay in one area or a 25 percent delay in two or more of the following areas: physical, cognitive, communication, social/emotional and adaptive.

The program is designed to target the needs of children who have moderate to significant disabilities, and offers occupational, speech, physical and feeding therapies.

Continued From Page 1 about the community and really try to move the community forward,” said Chief Parker,” adding, “I know from talking with other chiefs that those relationships aren’t always there, so we’re a fortunate community. We get a lot of things done because we have a common goal.”

Parker also mentioned welcoming two new police officers to the force this past May, including new female patrolwoman Victoria Raub, who has a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and previously served as a police officer in Long Beach and Evesham Townships. Also sworn in alongside Raub was Manchester Class II Special Officer Gavin Reilly.

“You can’t argue that our police force is the best,” said Council President Samuel Fusaro. “From command staff to our most recent recruits, all of them go beyond the call of duty.”

Financial Review & Growth The township took a look back at last year’s finances and passed a resolution certifying the 2016 Municipal Audit.

Outside auditors reported that Manchester is in a very good fi nancial position.

All available funds have either a small or modest increases in their balances, which is a positive sign, as opposed to seeing dwindling balances.

Fusaro said that for the last two years, the township has averaged $130,000 in overpayments from the bank, as they tend to send extra money. Township CFO Diane Lapp said this is not always the bank’s fault, as the surplus can sometimes be because of rebates or money going into escrow.

Fusaro also reported that the township tax collector collected $91 million last year, which he was quick to point out was not all from municipal taxes. That number also includes county, school and all four utility fees: western, eastern, water and sewer.

“That’s a lot of dollars going through a very small number of people,” he said.

Also up last year were Uniform Construction Code permits and fees, by nearly half a million more than the township anticipated. Fusaro said that this signals growth

The Manchester Times, August 19, 2017, Page 7 and progress in the town. Connection fees for the eastern water and sewer both saw about $150,000 each, which he said shows that homes and businesses are coming into town and hooking up their sewer and water.

Projects On The Horizon Due to water storage and pressure issues that hit Manchester residents particularly hard in the summertime, a water main extension will now allow water to be automatically pumped from the Toms River line into the Manchester line if pressure gets below the fire safety level, officials said. Water is already pumped from the Toms River line, but it has to be manually done.

“They have more than enough capacity to service us if we ever need it,” said Fusaro.

Ocean County officials came to a recent Manchester planning board meeting to discuss their progress on building the Western Facilities Transportation Garage on Ridgeway Blvd.

The site is 55 acres, but Fusaro said the area they will need to clear is only about 18 acres, which is less than a third. There will be a 200 foot buffer from Ridgeway Blvd. and a 500 foot buffer from the back end of Leisure Knoll.

Fusaro said that clearing will begin in September and the actual building will likely not start until January 2018.

“They’re really doing a nice job with keeping it to the rural habitat that it is currently,” said Fusaro.

Multiple buildings would be on site, including an administration building, communications tower and 5,000-square-foot salt building. Trucks are anticipated to roll out around 7 or 7:30 a.m. and return back to the garage around 3 p.m.

The garage would replace two county buildings that currently exist elsewhere and do not have the bandwidth to expand as they need to. Ocean County has owned the property for years, and initiated plans to build the county garage eight years ago.

Painting and repairing of the township’s water tower will also take off in the near future, and the township set aside $1.5 million in bonds to take care of it. Fusaro said this is something that is done on a fairly regular basis, and something that the township plans ahead for.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Where’s The Free Tolls In NJ? According to TV ads, toll roads in New York are going cashless: E-Z Pa ss on ly. Nex t it is New Jersey.

I am one of those holdouts that refuse to pay ransom in N.J. (one dollar a month just to get the monitor.) I still pay cash only.

Where are the union reps complaining about the loss of revenue of laid-off union members (toll collectors)? Since the state will be saving money f rom salar ies,

pension and fringe benefits, does anyone dare to say now “Reduce the tolls and give us drivers a break?” The sound of silence is deafening!

Remember, years ago, we were told that the Parkway would be toll free after constr uct ion cost s we re covered. That was 65 years ago and the tolls were raised ever since. Just another Garden State fairy tale!

Teachers And Respect In some areas, the new school year has already begun. In my area, school will commence shortly.

I retired June 30, 2016. I had the pleasure of working with numerous teachers as a media assistant and paraprofessional for 21 years. In 1996, when I began working in the educational field, teaching was regarded as a respectable profession. I was proud to say I worked in the middle school where I was employed as I witnessed, firsthand, teachers around me doing what they love with immense passion.

As a media assistant in our school’s computer lab, I was fortunate to assist almost every teacher and their students in all subject areas. I was impressed by the many lessons teachers would come prepared with for their students.

Throughout the late 90s and early 2000s, students appreciated having a computer lab where they were able to broaden the scope of their assignments. Along with that appreciation, students exhibited respect for their teachers, computer equipment, their peers, and themselves. In 2010, due to cutbacks, my media assistant position was dissolved, and I became a paraprofessional working with teachers and their students in a classroom setting.

It was there I observed, even more closely, the daily routines of numerous teach-

Letters To ers. Wow! The definition of itThe Also ignored by the writer, became so Editor unbalanced; I this 3-letter word does not even come close to its meaning of “expressing astonishment or admiration” for the teachers I worked with.

If you have not had the opportunity to do what I have done, you cannot possibly fathom what a teacher’s day is truly like. Even if I were to put into words all that I have experienced, you still would be unable to realize what it entails.

For those of you who have the mindset that a teacher’s day only exists within the time period between the first and last bells, you are vastly mistaken. The preparation for a day’s classes, not to mention a year’s syllabus, begins much sooner than that first bell, and continues far longer than the last.

Along with striving to be an innovative educator, teachers must also contend with incessant parent emails, phone calls, and meetings.

There is much more, but I won’t bore you, as the real purpose of my letter is to express how the prestige of teaching has diminished drastically. That fact is disheartening!

I attribute it to the total lack of respect for teachers.

People not in the education field would be surprised if they could see what really goes on today in the life of too many teachers. It is unacceptable when teachers must regularly grapple with blatant disrespect, foul language, and, at times, volatile behavior, rather than focus on educating their students.

I cannot say exactly when

can only confirm that with each passing year, it gets continually worse.

When I attended school as a child, and even when my own children were in school, there was collective admiration for teachers. Without that, educating students is impeded, and obstructing education benefits nobody (students, teachers, parents).

Therefore, I urge all to please bring back much-needed recognition for teachers. I especially request parents to teach your children to respect their teachers (and all adults, in general). Your children spend a large portion of their day with their teachers.

It would be advantageous for everyone if respect was incorporated into the teaching profession once again.

It would result in a win-win situation for everybody!

I also want to take this opportunity to respectfully thank all of my teachers, my children’s teachers, and all the amazing teachers and paraeducators I worked with.

Always remember, you truly have made, and you continue to make, a difference in the most positive ways!

Safe Immigrants Should Be Welcomed The August 5th letter blaming immigrants for stealing American jobs is shameful as it ignores our proud historic tradition of welcoming the stranger.

Forgotten were the words of Emma Lazarus on the Statue of Liberty that greets newcomers with hope and assurance they will no longer be outcasts and downtrodden: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Mr. Van Arsdale, is that except for Native American Indians we are all descendants of immigrants who fled from poverty and persecution only to be confronted by the same resentment expressed in his letter as well as torment because of race, religion or ethnic background. They were crowded into walkup tenements without bathrooms, 12-hour work days in dangerous sweat shops, forced to have their children engage in child labor and worked for pennies without any safety, security or health care. Yet, these determined people raised generations that became industrialists, businessmen, merchants, religious leaders, professionals, political leaders and service men and women many of whom died so that we can live in freedom and proudly sing, “God Bless America.”

His charge that our new immigrants, who I acknowledge must in these dangerous times be extremely vetted, steal jobs and accept lower wages ignores the reality these jobs were available to Americans but immigrants had to be recruited because many Americans did not see fit to work in the undesirable conditions found in those occupations. Immigrants, however, have no choice but to take them if hired as did their forefathers. Unknown to many is that our government as well as other democracies have programs that actually recruit foreign workers for high level jobs because of their training and intellect. While injustices do occur (a perfect example is the discrepancy between wages for men and women who are not immigrants but born in America) overall we have become better and stronger because of the skills, willingness to work hard, determination to make better lives for themselves and their families and desire to serve their new country in our many wars in the pursuit of freedom for Mr. Van Arsdale and all Americans.

How Holbrook Came To Williamsport A Little League Team Takes A Long Journey

By Chris Christopher BRISTOL, CONN – The enormity of the accomplishment is hard to grasp.

Here it is: The Holbrook Little League All-Stars have earned a berth in the Little League Baseball World Series.

“I don’t know if the boys really fathom what is about to happen to them,” said manager Rob Grano, prior to the first round of the United States Bracket at the Howard J. Lamade Stadium in Williamsport, PA. They’ll be facing off against Fairfield American (CT).

“Once they pull in and see the layout, I think it will hit them,” Grano said via telephone while en route to Williamsport from Bristol on the team’s bus. “They will say, ‘Wow. We are actually here.’ It’s like a dream come true. It’s a little bit of a shock for me and a joy for me. This is the Disney World of baseball and these kids love baseball. For them, this is the highest of highs and the biggest of achievements. The boys are talented. They have been thinking about this since they were seven years old.”

“In the Mid-Atlantic Region, there were 1,800 teams. It’s down to one in the region and it is us. It is still hard to believe.”

The size of the feat has not escaped Jim Osmond, a Holbrook assistant coach.

“It is unbelievable,” he said. “I don’t know if it has really sunk in yet.”

Holbrook, located in Jackson Township, took time to mesh, to hear Grano tell it.

“It took us a couple of weeks to bond and really get going,” he said. “Once we bonded, we seemed to become more consistent and get better and better. It took us either two or three weeks to start playing better baseball.

It was always our goal to get here and we talked about it as coaches. When we lost Manchester (in the double elimination District 18 Tournament), this was the last thing

we were thinking about. They played well in the game and we started off kind of slow.”

Best known for its power laden attack and high octane offense, Holbrook has also shown the ability to make the plays in the field.

Take the fateful night, for example, when it bested Maryland champion Thurmont 8-3 in the Mid-Atlantic Regional Tournament championship game at the Leon J. Breen Field at the A. Bartlett Giamatti Little League Complex in Bristol on ESPN. Chris Cartnick, whose solo homer put Holbrook up 1-0 in the top of the first inning, ignited a pair of 6-4-3 double plays over the first two innings.

“We stress defense as a coaching staff because a lot of teams don’t stress it,” Grano said. “Hitting comes and goes. If you pitch and play defense at this level, you can beat anyone. We spend close to 90 minutes per practice on defense. Our outfield defense is some of the best you will ever see. Most of our players are interchangeable. Our boys practice at all of the positions all of the time.

“If I have to put a player somewhere, I am pretty confident he will make a play as it is not the first time he is been at that position. Our defense has really been paying off for us.”

Osmond said Holbrook has no weak players.

“I would say the depth of our team is why we are so successful,” he said. “From roster slots one through 13, every player on this team is a player who would be a starter for any other team. One of the hardest things is finding enough playing time for all of the boys as they all deserve to be out there on the field all of the time.

“Am I surprised we are here? I would not say I am surprised. I would say I am proud to see the boys continue to come through.

We have known we have a very talented group. To go this far, you have to persevere through a lot of difficult times. You have to be lucky. You have to get breaks. And you have to work hard to achieve this type of success.”

Holbrook also has solid pitching. Lefty Tai Mann was the winner that night, allowing two runs – both earned – in 3 2/3 innings.

He needed just 26 pitches to make it through the fi rst two innings. He slugged a tworun homer in the second, keying a six-run outburst that staked Holbrook to a 7-0 lead.

“Our kids don’t throw 75 miles per hour,” Grano said, “But they do throw change ups and curve balls and hit their spots. I am not yet sure who will start on the mound. We have either five, six or seven kids we can run with. We will see how they feel. We will utilize either two or three pitchers per game.

We will make sure we have enough pitchers available so that we are comfortable with whomever we put on the mound.”

Fairfield, the Connecticut state champion, secured its berth with a 10-0 thrashing of (Little League - See Page 29)

Book Study For Baby Boomers – Born Between 1946 & 1964

WHITING – The Whiting United Methodist Church will host a book study for Boomers!

We will be discussing the demographic changes that come with a timeline that gives Boomers a past, the present and a presumed future of the generation. “Boomer Spirituality” written by Craig Kennet Miller is a guide to how the Baby Boomer generation has had an impact on every phase of life.

Boomers are now in the second half of life because of longer life spans. But the reality is our society is ill-prepared for the wave that is coming. As the Boomer generation navigates dramatic change as it ages, it will be informed by a unique spirituality that was forged in the tumultuous years of the 1960’s

Refugee Plans Memorial For Vietnam Vets

By Chris Lundy BARNEGAT – For many veterans, the war in Vietnam was so brutal they have difficulty even talking about it.

Thy Cavagnaro doesn’t have many memories of it anymore. She just has stories her family told her. She was only 1 and a half years old.

She was part of a family of five fleeing a warzone on a single motorcycle. She was the only one facing behind them. So she was the only one who watched as her house exploded.

Her parents told her later that she was yelling “The fire is chasing us! The fire is chasing us!”

Her family settled in New Jersey. For a year afterward, she experienced night terrors.

Those horrible details she has forgotten, but she knows there are many out there who can’t forget.

“Vietnam vets didn’t get the proper reception when they got home,” she said.

She always wanted to give thanks, but didn’t know how. Because of the way they were treated upon their return, a lot of Vietnam veterans didn’t talk about their experiences.

Only in the last five years or so, did she start seeing hats or stickers.

“They had been living with that for decades,” she said. “If you were told what you did was not honorable, you wouldn’t share it except in certain company.”

A few years back, she did meet a Vietnam vet, and was able to thank him. On a whim, she asked if she could give him a hug. “Something happened. I got emotional.” It kick started a need in her to do more.

She started to ask parents of friends about what they would want to hear, as a way of thanks, and the consensus was “Welcome Home.” This was a statement they didn’t get when they did return from deployment.

So now she has a sign in her car that says “Welcome Home,” for whenever she sees a car with a Vietnam bumper sticker.

But she wanted to do more. And the best way to do more is to act locally. So, she and her husband, James, are building a monument for Vietnam veterans at Gazebo Park. This has two headstones marking other veteran contributions. It’s at the corner of Route 9 and Bay Avenue.

It would be a headstone-sized memorial, like

–Photo by Chris Lundy Thy Cavagnaro is working toward building a monument to Vietnam veterans at Gazebo Park. the others. It would be facing the street so that drivers and pedestrians can see it.

They worked to get consensus with veterans as to what they would want on the memorial, even down to the color of the stone. The plan is to have it finished for Veteran’s Day, November 11.

“We wanted to make sure we won’t overshadow” the current memorials, James said. “We didn’t want to ruffle any feathers.”

Hopefully, their actions will set off a spark, Thy said. Maybe other people will start doing things for veterans. Maybe people will talk to their grandparents about what they went through.

She doesn’t want the veterans and their accomplishments to be forgotten.

The couple is funding the monument themselves. They didn’t want to ask for any contributions. If someone wants to donate to a good cause, they suggest starting with their local veterans organizations.

What Does Hearing Loss Look Like Across the Age Spectrum?

More than 36 million American adults report that they have hearing loss. Although many people assume hearing loss only affects those around retirement age, about two-thirds of all cases of hearing loss occur in people under the age of 65. So how can hearing aids benefit the entire age spectrum, children, teens, the American workforce, and retirees? Let’s take a look at some rather revealing data regarding hearing loss and hearing aids.

In children and teens: At least 1.8 million U.S. children have trouble hearing.

Nearly 1.5 million are school age.

Nine of every 10 children born deaf are born to parents who can hear normally.

In-utero ear infections can lead to deafness.

Three continuous months of ear infections can lead to deafness.

Children exposed to secondhand smoke have twice the risk of hearing loss.

One in five teens now suffers from at least a mild hearing loss due to excessive volume when using iPods and other listening devices.

In the American workforce: About 26 million Americans between the prime employment ages of 20 and 69 have high-frequency hearing loss.

One in four workers exposed to high levels of noise experience hearing loss later in life.

Those with untreated hearing loss lose about $30,000 a year due to underemployment.

Police, firefighters, factory workers, farmers, construction workers, musicians, heavy-industry workers, the military and professional hunters are at the highest risk of experiencing hearing loss.

In retirees: About 30 percent of adults ages 65 to 74 have hearing loss.

About 47 percent of adults over the age of 75 have hearing loss.

Hearing loss in retirees leads to more hospitalization and poorer health overall.

Dementia, depression and brain shrinkage are all strongly correlated to untreated hearing loss, which is likely partially responsible for those diseases occurring.

Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are also associated with untreated hearing loss.

Fortunately, hearing aids are a huge benefit to 90 percent of those with hearing loss, regardless of age group or severity. For those with mild hearing loss, hearing aids greatly reduce or eliminate the risk of income loss, and people with hearing aids are nearly twice as likely to be employed as those with untreated hearing loss or those who simply don’t wear their hearing aids. If you want to make sure you’re getting all you can out of your current set, bring them in and we’ll take a look at how the technology is working for you. And if you decide there’s an upgrade option that you’d like to pursue, we’ll give you $500 toward any new set of AGX Hearing aids.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

Your Skin Reveals Your True State Of Health

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Your skin reveals a secret about your health. It will expose you, even if you say you’re feeling “okay” to everyone.

I’m not referring to a tan, I’m referring to skin tone, texture and color.

If you are pale, you may be anemic and deficient in iron. It shows up on your skin even if you mask the accompanying fatigue with NoDoz or coffee. Pale skin that is also dry may be a clue to your hypothyroidism, which also causes fatigue and hair loss.

Healthy folks have a good supply of blood flow and oxygen throughout their body, so skin appears rosy and pink, as opposed to people with heart disease, high cholesterol or circulatory disorder.

People with cancer sometimes have grey or blue-tinged skin or lips due to the lack of oxygenated blood.

Asthma requires the use of steroids (i.e. prednisone) which can cause easy bruising; this problem also occurs from aspirin, ginkgo, fish oil and prescription anticoagulants to prevent a stroke or heart attack.

If you are alcohol or nicotine-dependent, you will look older than you should, and have saggy skin because these lifestyle factors attack your collagen and elastin.

Drinking and smoking age you inside and out.

Sun worshippers and smokers often have age spots and an uneven skin tone, which is from the ultraviolet light. But

this oxidation isn’t happening on your skin surface, it’s also happening to every single organ of your body, including your brain, heart, blood vessels and reproductive organs.

People who suddenly take on a yellow tone may have liver compromise from a drug they’re taking, or from alcohol use.

If severe, it’s called jaundice and requires medical attention.

Perhaps you think beauty is only skin deep, but as I’ve shown you, it clearly isn’t. It is a reflection of your body’s general physical health. Radiant youthful-looking skin, hair and nails are actually an inside job.

Reducing your exposure to free radicals can help you obtain gorgeous skin, but of course you need to make sure that you eat right and drink enough water to nourish your body. You’ll also want to minimize the amount of synthetic chemicals (including prescriptions) that you take.

There are only a handful of supplements that I recommend to help with cell protection, collagen formation and general good health. Among the best we have biotin, collagen (but only high quality), silica, hyaluronic acid and/or lipoic acid. What you’re going for is a healthy glow to your skin, which – at the end of day – translates to a healthy body. I have a more comprehensive version of this article available at my website.

Freeholder Haines To Represent New Jersey Women Legislators

By Sara Grillo OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Freeholder and Toms River resident Virginia E. Haines is now the New Jersey State Director for the National Foundation for Women Legislators.

Haines was recently selected to lead the nation’s oldest non-partisan organization that addresses the needs of elected women

officials within all areas of government.

“It’s a privilege to serve as the 2017 New Jersey State Director for the National Foundation for Women Legislators,” said Haines, who has been an Ocean County Freeholder since January 2016. “I am so proud of the many accomplishments women have made and continue to make at all levels of government.”

“I look forward to working with the members of this organization in order to advance the status of women in government and to come together to share views and experiences that will help create an ongoing dialogue that will make a difference for not just our respective constituents but nationally,” she said.

Haines is only the second woman in the his-

tory of Ocean County to serve on the Freeholder Board, the first being Hazel Gluck of Lakewood. Prior to becoming a Freeholder, she also served in the State Assembly, as New Jersey Lottery Director and on the Dover Township (Toms River) Committee.

As part of her new role, Haines, along with other elected women across the country, will travel to Minneapolis, Minnesota from November 14 to 18 for the National Foundation of Women Legislators’ (NFWL) 2017 Annual Conference to discuss effective solutions to some of the country’s most pressing issues.

“Fostering a non-partisan environment that encourages dialogue and the sharing of information and experiences, women leaders are able to build coalitions, share the concerns of their constituents, and identify out-of-the-box solutions to the most pressing issues facing their communities today,” Haines said.

“We are so proud Freeholder Haines has accepted a leadership position in our Foundation,” stated Minnesota State Senator Carrie Ruud, NFWL’s 2017 Chair. “NFWL’s theme for 2017 is leadership, and Haines exemplifies this theme. She will play a key role in aiding elected women in New Jersey, as we continue to grow as an organization.”

Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari mirrored the sentiments of Sen. Ruud, saying that Freeholder Haines was a great choice for the role.

“She brings a great deal of knowledge and perspective to the table,” Vicari said. “She is a hard worker and will be a true benefit to the NFWL.” Haines will carry the title of New Jersey State Director for the NFWL through the end of 2018.

National Foundation for Women Legislators supports elected women from all levels of governance. As a non-profit, non-partisan organization, NFWL does not take ideological positions on public policy issues, but instead serves as a forum for women legislators to be empowered through information and experience.

Inside The Law Do I Need An Expungement?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Assisted Living for the Memory Impaired

By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Dina M. Vicari, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Some may look back over the years and regret certain events or situations that may have occurred involving law enforcement and the criminal legal system. If you wish that they could erase that event and begin anew with a clear criminal record, then you should look into the process of the Law of Expungement. This process is very helpful for people who are seeking to enter the military or beginning a new profession to seek to expunge a portion of their criminal history.

An expungement is a legal process with the Court to remove criminal records on file with any court or law enforcement agency regarding a person’s history or record within the criminal justice system. If an expungement is granted for an offense, arrest, or conviction, one’s criminal history will indicate that the event never occurred.

However, not everyone is eligible for an expungement and there are specific guidelines to follow according to N.J.S.A. 2C:52-1. In order to properly request an expungement, a person must file a Petition for Expungement with the Superior Court in the county where the underlying offense took place.

Final determination of whether a person is entitled to the granting of an expungement must be made by a Superior Court Judge.

There is specific information that you will have to provide in the Petition for Expungement, including the date of arrest, the offenses that you were charged with, the original warrant or summons, the date of final disposition and the specific sentence of punishment. Some of this information may need to be attained by contacting the Court or the New Jersey State Police. The Court will also require an Order for Hearing and Expungement Order to be prepared and for-

warded to the Court. The Petition must be submitted with a cover letter Dina M. Vicari Esq. to describe to the Court the contents for the filing and the exact filing fee must be included to have the matter listed before a Judge for consideration.

Additionally, it is required that various governmental agencies are noticed of the Petition of Expungement and the date of hearing by certified mail, return receipt requested, including the Attorney General of New Jersey, New Jersey State Police, County Prosecutor, the Clerk of Municipal Court, Chief of Police, County Probation Department and the Division of Criminal Justice, Records and Identification Unit.

Only upon the filing of Proof of Notice to these agencies will the Court schedule the hearing before the Judge.

An appearance in Court may be required, especially if any agency files an objection to the Petition for Expungement. At the hearing, the Judge may ask additional questions to determine if the Petition should be granted. If an Expungement is granted, the Order must also be mailed via certified mail, return receipt requested, to the above governmental agencies to notify them of the conclusion of the matter.

Although the expungement process is controlled by statute, the process can be confusing and must be followed exactly or the Court can dismiss your request. If you believe that you may be eligible and would benefit from an expungement, please contact our office, R.C. Shea & Associates, at 732505-1212, to schedule an appointment.

BUSINESS PROFILE M������’� G��� B�����

In today’s difficult, often turbulent economic times, few things have retained their value as well as gold.

And there’s no better place to trade your gold for cash than Michele’s Gold Buyers in Brick.

“Selling at Michele’s is an easy and simple process. My clients are always saying that it’s a very pleasurable experience” says Michele DeGeorge, owner of Michele’s Gold Buyers.

But don’t let the name fool you. Gold is just one of the many items that c an be tur ned into immediate cash at Michele’s. “The purchase of diamonds has become a major part of our business” states Michele. “We have become one of the largest diamond buyers in the state, c onst antly seeking

fine quality diamonds from ½ carat to 7, 8 or 9 carats to buy”. Michele’s also buys silver jewelry, platinum, precious stones and coins. Sterling Silver fl atware and serving pieces are also very salable items. Sol id gold watches and brand name watches like Rolex, Breitling, O mega, etc. are a large part of Michele’s purchases.

The formula for success at Michele’s is simple, straight forward and highly effective. Honesty, professionalism, a vast knowledge of the industry and top dollar pai d fo r yo ur m e rchandise. “I tell people to shop and get your best price and then come to me and I will beat any price.”

She says.

Their high volume of business makes

it possible to pay the highest prices in the area and their a p p r o ac h i s direct and st r ai ght fo rward. “No gimmicks, no coupons, just the best prices paid period.” Michele says with confidence.

Stability is another reason for choosing Michele’s Gold Buyers.

W h i l e m a ny others operate out of a hotel or seasonal rental they have ow n e d t h e i r Brick Blvd. building for over 20 years. Additionally they have a long family history in the jewelry and diamond business.

Security is also part of what sets Michele’s apar t. Unlike many similar businesses, their office offers a safe and secure environment for their customers. It features an extensive on-site security system that protects you from the moment you walk in until you are safely back in your car with the cash you received.

They are lic ensed, bonded and fully insured. All scales that weigh your merchandise are certified and registered with the New Jersey Department of Weights and Measures and are inspected periodically for continued accuracy.

One unique service

offered at Michele’s is the separation of jewelry into individual components. A service not provided by many gold merchants.

They will safely and professionally remove a diamond or precious stone from your ring or piece of jewelry and return it to you should you wish to sell only the gold rather than the entire item.

Or sell it in its entirety and M i c h e l e’s will pay you for both the full weight of your gold and the full value of you diamonds or precious stones.

An area of particular expertise at Michele’s is estate sales. Their staff is fully trained in

handling all aspects and legalities related to estate sales and they are ready to work with both you and you attorney to ensure a fair and equitable liquidation of assets.

Michele’s attorney references are available upon request.

With a proven track record of outstanding customer service, industry knowledge, professional integrity and highest prices paid, Michele’s Gold Buyers is a great choice for turning your old jewelry into instant cash.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Why Do Some People Overshare?

Dear Joel, I have a client who wanted to show me a photo on her iPhone. She couldn’t fi nd it, but she treated me to about 1,000 other pictures while she searched. With each one I heard, “that’s my friend from bridge,” or “that was taken at a party,” or “here’s my neighbor wearing her new blouse” and so on. Do people really think it’s interesting to look at pictures of complete strangers? Why can’t they just say “sorry, I can’t fi nd what I was looking for.” How can I escape this situation when it happens?

TMI in Tuckerton Dear TMI, That one took me back to many long nights I spent at friends’ homes as they clicked their way through tray after tray of vacation slides. A few times I even dozed off, so I know how hard it is to stay focused, especially when you don’t

k now any of the people or places. Nowadays I also think it is funny how many pictures people post on social media, many of which are repetitive or even compromising. It’s tough, but try to remember that the things she’s sharing are important to her, and that by sharing them with you, she is saying you’re important too. She is inviting you into her world. You might suggest she create photo albums, so that she can easily reference the shots she wants to share. You might thank her for trying so hard and offer her a coffee or a treat so that you can step away from the picture show.

Lacey Students Star In Anti-Drinking PSA

By Chris Lundy LACEY – The Ocean County Intoxicated Driver Resource Center partnered with Lacey High School students to produce a video showing the negative effects of teen drinking.

In the video, “Dr in king Dest roys Dreams,” a high school senior decides to have a drink on her way to her prom, and winds up getting pulled over.

“My whole life was ahead of me, until I decided to have a drink…” she says in narration.

The video flashes between what could have been: footage of teenagers getting ready for prom, and what happened: getting arrested, her car towed, put in jail, and appearing before the judge. It also shows how much one night of excess cost her fi nancially.

The video is one part of a larger effort to educate youths against drinking, to prevent issues before they happen, said Peter Curatolo, chief of administrative services for the Ocean County Health Department and the mayor of Lacey. The video will be shown in driver education classes.

“We wanted to illustrate the legal process from arrest and conviction to the mandatory Intoxicated Driver Resource Center class that takes place when a person makes one bad decision and doesn’t plan ahead,” he said. “The goal is to save a life and secondly, to avoid a conviction for a DUI.” He credited the creativity and talent of the high school students who produced the video, as well as the police, judge, and towing company that appeared in it.

It can be viewed online at https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=Q-Eve8i5R1s.

Local Athlete Represents U.S.

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Mayor John Ducey proclaimed July 26 “Jake Lakatos Day” after the Brick teen participated in the Maccabiah Games in Jerusalem, Israel, and whose team brought home the gold medal in ice hockey.

“The township of Brick has produced a number of ice hockey players who have competed at the highest levels of the sport, and one such player is goaltender Jake Lakatos, who played high school hockey for Brick Township High School and and junior league hockey with the Philadelphia Junior Flyers elite team Eastern Hockey League,” he said.

Lakatos, 18, was selected to represent the United States this summer at the Maccabiah

Little League:

Fairfield, 18-0 in tournament play, erupted for four fourth-inning runs on two-run doubles by Sean O’Neil and Michael Iannazzo.

Winner Ethan Righter pitched 4 1/3 innings, striking out nine, walking one and allowing four hits. Fairfield stroked 13 hits. Matthew Vivona stroked three hits in four at-bats.

Fairfield’s victory was sweet as its players and coaches were treated to free ice cream from Saugatuck Sweets.

“Many of these players are regular customers at our shop,” the ice cream and candy mecca announced on its Facebook page.

“WIN FAIRFIELD AMERICAN WIN!!!!”

“Congrats to the #Fairfield American team, New England #LLWS champs,” Connecticut Gov. Daniel Malloy said on

Games, which is an international multisport event for Jewish athletes that takes place every four years like the Olympics.

Over 10,000 athletes competed in 43 different sports, which makes the Maccabiah games the third-largest international sporting event in the entire world, Ducey said.

“Thanks in a large part to Jake, Team USA was undefeated, beat Team Canada three times and became the first ice hockey team from the United States to ever bring home the gold medal from the games,” he said.

Not only was Jake chosen for the team, but he was a starter, and he was named MVP for the gold medal game, the mayor said.

“So it’s an unbelievable athlete we have here in our midst,” Ducey said.

Twitter. “We’re cheering for you on your way to the @Little League World Series!”

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie tweeted, “Congratulations to Holbrook Little League of Jackson, NJ on their 8-3 win and Mid-Atlantic Regional championship. Now on to Williamsport!”

Holbrook and Fairfield are far from strangers.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE ADVANCED FOOT & ANKLE SPECIALISTS, PC To drag one’s feet is to proceed slowly, reluctantly or without enthusiasm. To sweep someone off their feet is to overwhelm with charm. And to stand on one’s own feet is to be independent and self-supporting. These are just a few examples of the many sayings that refer to the feet. But some may ask, why feet?

Simply put, because the feet are the foundation of the body and just like any other structure, the body without a strong foundation will begin to suffer possible serious problems, making proper foot care of the utmost importance.

Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, conveniently located in the Whiting Stop & Shop Shopping Center at 40 0 Lacey Road, Suite 9B, offers patients the exceptional care they deserve in the latest state-of-the-art facility by highly experienced and caring professionals.

Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists was originally founded by Dr. Scott Amoss in 2000 and was formerly located in Toms River. In 2005, seeing there was a great need for his ser vices in the area, Dr. Amoss relocated his practice to

Whiting. In February of 2014, with the need for more space to accommodate his expanding practice and to house newer, more technically advanced equipment, Advanced Foot & Ankle relocated to its present beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and spacious facility.

The personable Dr. Amoss is a highly-educated professional who is a lifelong resident of the Jersey Shore. The happily married father of three studied and received an undergraduate degree in chemistry at Cook College at Rutgers University. He became a member of a National Chemistry Honor Society and worked for several years as a chemist before he decided to pursue a career in medicine. Dr. Amoss attended the New York College of Podiatric Medicine where he finished fourth in his class of over 100 graduates and subsequently graduated cum laude in 2000. He is also the recipient of many honors and accolades, including Deans List recognition during all four years while attending the New York College of Podiatric Medicine.

After completing a twoyear surgical residency at

William B. Kessler Memorial Hospital in Hammonton, New Jersey, Dr. Amoss received extensive training in fields such as orthopedics, vascular, plastic and reconstructive surgery, emergency medicine, dermatology and radiology.

Dr. Amoss was also on staff at the South Jersey Wound Care Center, the largest facility in South Jersey. His expertise and training has led him to be a Board Qualified Foot Surgeon by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. He is also a Diplomat American Board of Podiatric Medicine as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Dr. Amoss is currently on staff at Community Medical Center in Toms River and the Manchester Surgery Center, where he performs inpatient and outpatient surgery. He is also a member of the New Jersey Podiatric Medical Society and American Podiatric Medical Association.

The impressive qualifications at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists are not limited to Dr. Amoss.

Those on his staff are all Certified Podiatric Medical Assistants through the American Society of Podiatric Medical Assistants. Dr. Amoss and

his team of professionals treat all of the common foot ailments including hammertoes, bunions, athletes’ foot, ingrown nails and heel pain. “We treat all ages and everything from the knee down,” said Dr. Amoss, including P.A.D., or peripheral arterial disease, a common circulatory problem which narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow, causing symptoms such as leg pain when walking. This condition can also reduce blood flow to your heart and brain, as well as your legs. Treatment for Achilles tendon, ankle instability, ankle sprains and sports injuries of the ankle and foot are also addressed.

The new facility also offers o n - site surger y, X-rays and biopsies, often finding sk in c anc e r that others may have missed.

“With diabetes being on the rise, proper foot care for those with diabetes is a major concern,” continued Dr. Amoss. “With a diabetic foot, a small wound can be slow to heal, lead to

infection and sometimes severe consequences including amputation.

However, at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, surgery is always a last resort.”

Although prestigious qualifications are always important when choosing a physician, impressive qualifications in the compassion department are of equal importance.

From the pleasant voice that answers your call to the smile that greets you as you walk through the door of Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, there is a genuine feeling of caring, concern and compassion. You are never just a number at Advanced Foot & Ankle.

Dr. Amoss and his dedicated team all agree that the most important and best part of their job is making a positive impact

on people’s lives. In short, their mission is “Making people feel better,” said Podiatric Assistant Kristen Valentino.

All of your foot care needs are taken care of at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, which also offers a large and stylish selection and expert fitting of orthopedic and diabetic shoes and sandals. They even carry specially formulated nail polish for those suffering from fungal infections. Extras and details such as these are what makes Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists stand out from the rest.

Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists PC is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call 732-350-0100 or visit them online at AdvFootandAnkle.com.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of august 19 - august 25

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be cautious that your warmth and enthusiasm does not inadvertently lead someone on. Take the easiest path where your money is concerned in the week ahead. Don’t append too much or spend too little.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be a great advisor and mentor in the week to come. You may receive extra social invitations. Your certain someone may be caught up in a wild goose chase that could prove costly, but your wisdom can prevent a loss.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Fly straight as an arrow. There is no financial opportunity or risk that is worth losing your good name. Refuse to sign documents that you haven’t read this week and anything you have read but don’t understand.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Like Humpty Dumpty even the mighty can fall. Follow ethical behavior in the week to come when financial matters are in question. If you try to please someone else you may be secretly influenced by their maneuverings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take the bit between your teeth. You may have plenty of determination and stamina to make your projects a success.

Passing disagreements may only spur you to more ambitious accomplishments in the week ahead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be discriminative. When faced with a choice between two evils in the week ahead make the most morally acceptable choice. Your loved ones or friends might not agree because they cannot see the fine line you walk.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t voice your suspicions in the week ahead, but adopt a wait and see attitude. Unconditional love delivered in daily doses can even melt a heart made of stone. Your gentle ways can move mountains, even in the workplace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Soul mates seem to be on the same wavelength. Business contacts, however, may be tuned to a different station.

As this week unfolds focus on family, hobbies and home based activities for the very best success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Listen to the boss who dictates your daily chores rather than following the dictates of your heart. A certain someone may think your friendship holds more promise for intimacy than you intend in the week ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Aesop’s turtle knew that slow and steady wins the race.

Caution and dedication to duty will pay off during the week ahead. If you are thrifty about the pennies, the dollars will begin to roll in.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Toe the mark. Those in authority may expect perfection as this week unfurls. You have plenty of enthusiasm and eagerness to get something accomplished, but might feel that your efforts are restrained by necessity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you can’t escape the truth sit back and enjoy it. Somewhere deep inside you might feel you do not deserve the rewards or opportunities you receive as this week unfolds. Be grateful that someone recognizes your worth.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Building Blocks: A ‘High-Rise’ Approach To A Summertime Favorite

By Wolfgang Puck

As I often like to say, we eat with our eyes fi rst. Food that looks beautiful without being too fussy starts your mouth watering in anticipation. And, by contrast, if good ingredients have been well prepared only to be presented in a way that looks unexciting, you may get less pleasure from the whole experience.

That explains why I’ve been taking a different approach to a summertime seasonal classic: the tomato, mozzarella and basil salad, also known in Italy as the Caprese, after the island of Capri, or the Tricolore, because its red, white and green colors mimic those of the Italian flag. Most often, the salad’s three main ingredients are simply arranged overlapping each other on a plate or platter, with a vinaigrette dressing drizzled over them. That’s certainly how you’ll probably see it on most antipasto displays in Italian restaurants or when you order an individual one off the menu.

Even though sun-ripened tomatoes are wonderfully flavorful in August, and go so well with the rich-tasting fresh mozzarella you can find so easily in well-stocked supermarkets today, such a presentation doesn’t do much anymore to get people excited about this wonderful seasonal specialty. And that’s a shame. So I’d like to share the simple solution my chefs and I like to use in our restaurants: We go vertical instead of horizontal.

In other words, we’ve taken to stacking the ingredients, alternating slices of tomato with equally sized slices of the cheese and individual basil leaves. The result instantly catches the eye, making people see this now familiar combination in a fresh new light.

Though that may sound like architectural or engineering skills are called for in creating such a presentation, it’s surprisingly easy. Just make sure when you’re shopping that you buy ripe yet firm tomatoes that are approximately the same diameter as the balls of fresh mozzarella you’ll be using.

(Head for the market’s cheese department first so you’ll have the package of mozzarella in your cart to serve as a guide.)

With a similar sensibility, I’ve simplified the dressing for the salad as well. Instead of making a vinaigrette, I first sprinkle each slice of tomato individually with a little salt and pepper, to make sure that every bite taken is properly seasoned. Then I drizzle each stack with good-quality balsamic vinegar that I’ve first reduced to a syrupy consistency to concentrate its sweet-tart flavor; I also add a drizzle of good, fruity-tasting extra-virgin olive oil.

The result is an appetizer that will make everyone at your table feel as if they’re seeing and tasting this combination for the first time. What a perfect way to showcase some of summer’s finest produce.

STAC K E D TOM ATO -A N D MOZ Z A R EL L A SA L A D W I T H FR ESH BASIL , BA LSA MIC REDUCTION AND EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL Serves 4 1 cup (250 mL) good-quality balsamic vinegar 4 medium-to-large sun-ripened organic tomatoes 8 ounces (250 g) fresh mozzarella 12 leaves fresh basil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Several hours before serving, prepare the balsamic reduction. Put the vinegar in a small nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer until its volume reduces by a third to a half. Set aside to cool to room temperature; transfer to a covered glass container and refrigerate until ready to use.

For the salad, use the tip of a small, sharp knife to core the tomatoes. Trim and discard a thin slice from the bottom of each tomato before cutting each one horizontally into slices about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Drain the mozzarella, patting it dry with paper towels, and cut crosswise into slices about 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick.

Stack the basil leaves and, starting at the side of the stack, roll them up tightly into a tube shape. Cut the roll crosswise into thin slices, separating them with your fingertips into julienne strips.

To assemble the salads on a platter or individual serving plates, alternate the slices from each tomato with slices of the mozzarella, stacking the tomato slices in the order you cut them starting with the trimmed slice from the bottom, and sprinkling each tomato slice with a little salt and pepper before placing the mozzarella on it.

End each stack with a tomato slice, sprinkling it with salt, pepper and basil julienne.

Just before serving, drizzle each stack with about 1 teaspoon of the balsamic reduction.

(Reserve the remainder in the refrigerator, where it will keep for several months.)

Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over each stack; serve immediately.
