Award Offered In Church Graffiti Case
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Police are investigating an incident where someone sprayed painted graffiti on the front sign of the Woodland Road entrance to the Saint Barnabas Roman Catholic Church.
Local residents offered an award for any information that leads to an arrest. The graffiti had been washed away by the next morning. According to published reports, (Graffiti - See Page 6)
Short Term Rentals Examined
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – In an effort to make sure that people are taking care of their neighborhoods while renting out their homes, the Township Council introduced a new ordinance that would affect short term rentals throughout the town. Several properties have been listed on websites for rent for as little as one night, officials reported. This kind of arrangement benefits travelers who don’t want to stay in a hotel, and homeowners who want to make some money off their property. However, if someone rents the property and makes a lot of noise and garbage, then neighbors complain. One would expect the beach communities to have summer and short term rentals.

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

Boats:
Continued From Page 1 It was very hot that day, so people were cooling off with ices from the beachfront concession stand if they couldn’t go in the water. Booths sold crafts, make-up, toys, and other items. Community groups also handed out information and engaged passersby in activities. The centerpiece of the event was the cardboard boat challenge. Sailors had to craft a boat out of cardboard and duct tape. Run by the local EMS, there were lifeguards
and people on waverunners keeping an eye on everyone. Some of the boats were themed after famous characters, like Moana. Some of the riders dressed up as characters, like Batman in a bat-boat or Bert and Ernie in a bathtub. Some of them had clever names, like “The Sinker.” Indeed, at least a few sinking ships is expected and even celebrated. Some kids gave up and just swam or walked their boat through. The rules state that you have to remain inside the boat the entire time. See more pictures and video of the race on JerseyShoreOnline.com.

Past Little League Winners Have Advice For Holbrook
I
By Chris Christopher t’s an event that will result in a lifetime of memories – win or lose – for the Holbrook Little League All-Stars. The team made it to the 71st Little League Baseball World Series in South Williamsport, PA. They are in good company. Two other teams from Ocean County have gone all the way in the past. The Toms River East American All-Stars, led by the sparkling all-around play of Todd Frazier (now the New York Yankees’ starting third baseman after starring at Toms River High School South, Rutgers University and two other major league clubs) prevailed in 1998. The Lakewood Little League All-Stars won the national title in 1975 when foreign teams were banned from play because of eligibility issues. One person who knows a thing or two about pressure and memories is Dion Lowe, whose power hitting and blazing fastball propelled Lakewood to immortality. “Enjoy the journey,” he advised Holbrook, located in Jackson Township. “Have fun. When it is all said and done, you are winners. I love this tournament. The kids get to have fun. There is their innocence. There is pressure, but they don’t really feel it as it is all fun. There is more pressure on the parents than there is on the kids. The parents feel more pressure because every parent wants their child to succeed and get a hit. They don’t want their child to be the reason their team lost the game.” Lowe watched Holbrook advance to the LLBWS with a win over the Maryland state champion in the Mid-Atlantic Regional Tournament final on ESPN that cemented their placement in the World Series. “I love Holbrook’s team spirit,” he said. “I just think they are winners. Go out there and play ball. They took the sting out of that Maryland team. They understood once Holbrook put that seven spot - that crooked number - on the board that it was it. I am really pulling for them and I can’t wait to watch.” Lowe credited Lakewood co-managers Dick Work and Butch Belitrand and Coach Alex Edwards for keeping the team mentally sharp. “We did not feel any pressure,” said Lowe, who pitched and played third base and shortstop. “They did a good job of keeping us on an even keel. They prepared us and worked our behinds off. We had no time to worry about pressure.” Lowe, who resides in Atlanta where he works in the behavioral health field, said the coaching staff read the team telegrams to loosen it up. “They expressed well wishes from all over the place whether they were from people from either Lakewood or Jackson,” he said. “They read them to us before we went to bed and that is why I don’t think anyone felt anything. The telegrams arrived on yellow pieces of paper. Our coaches had them in a stack. Everyone congratulated us for getting that far. It was best of luck stuff. It
was really cool how our coaches tempered the pressure.” Ken Kondek, an East American coach, offered advice for Holbrook. “Just have fun,” he said. “For most of the kids, this is a once in a lifetime experience. When I was in Williamsport, it was probably the best vacation I ever had. Enjoy it. You will have memories that you will never forget. This group created a bond and that bond is still there. All of the boys still talk to one another. Todd texts his friends and they text him back. They are still in touch like it was yesterday.” East American was managed by Mike Gaynor. Another coach was Joe Franceschini, whose son, Joe, was a team member. “Our job as coaches was to keep the boys loose,” Kondek said. “Have fun, Holbrook, and enjoy the experience. You can only be 12 years old once in your life. How many times will you go to Williamsport as a player?” East American’s starting catcher was Brad Frank, whose father, Bill, enjoyed a highly successful coaching career at Toms River High School East where he piloted the Raiders’ baseball team. The elder Frank said 10 family members attended each game in Williamsport where East American was 5-0. “The key is for the coaches to keep it fun for the boys, especially at that age,” the elder Frank said. “Have fun, keep the pressure off and they will produce. I think Mike Gaynor did a good job with that. It was like it was magical. It was like something you see in the movies. Everything fell into place.” “Coach Franceschini did a great job with the kids,” Kondek said. “He kept them loose. We jumped into the pool with them and played ping pong. Todd (the winning pitcher in the championship game) was our ping pong champion as he took on everyone. We played chicken in the pool. One reporter said, ‘You guys are in the pool and Japan (which lost to East American in the championship game) is out there practicing.’ We said, ‘OK.’ “ Rich Cunningham, an avid East American fan, also kept the team loose, donning a gorilla outfit. His attire resulted in the team being known as the Beast of the East. “Casey Gaynor (a team member and a son of Gaynor’s) won a beast doll at the Eastern Regionals in Connecticut and it became our mascot,” Kondek said. “Rich was just a parent who was interested in the team. He did not even have a child on the team. All I know is that our kids had a lot of fun. Some kids got homesick and some did not, but that’s par for the course. The boys all bonded and it is still like one big happy family.” Lakewood’s winning pitcher was Bobby DelConte, who offered Holbrook advice. “Don’t lose and if you lose don’t cry,” he said. “Don’t be intimidated by what the other teams do or how big they are or whatever. We played against teams that had (Little League - See Page 6)

a grand knight in the Bayville Knights. Additionally, two members each pledged $100 to encourage people to come forward with information. “Everybody’s pretty upset because that church does nothing but help the community,” Huhn said. “Why would they want to do that to our church?” There are scores of outreach programs that come from that church, whether it is the Knights or some other group, he said. Between food and clothing collections or youth leadership, Saint Barnabas is a focal point for Bayville and even surrounding towns. When the police catch those responsible, Huhn suggested that part of their punishment should include community service out of the church.
Central:
months ago so they could fix the problems. “Schools around us are doing it. Central needs to be on board. We owe it to the staff to figure out how to make it work,” she said. Parlapanides said it will be integrated next year. “I’m as frustrated as all of you,” he said. At the last minute, he had to make the choice of either giving the kids a normal schedule, or giving them a schedule that didn’t work. “It looked good on paper, but in the computer it didn’t work,” he said. The teachers’ contract had three, 90-minute classes, plus a 45-minute class. Other schools that have block scheduling have four, 90-minute classes. Central was left with a sixth period that didn’t work in the mix. “We were at the point of no return. The kids have to come and have a schedule,” he said. “I wish they had told us earlier.”
Rentals:
compliance, Camera said. In order to get that, they need to have their property inspected every year. This would make people have to do this even in mainland areas. According to the ordinance, the cost for an inspection is $55. A re-inspection would cost $25, and the transfer of title would be $45. “Short term rentals” are defi ned as less than 90 days, per the ordinance. A rental cannot happen in the retirement communities unless the homeowners association signs off on it.
Little League:
Schulman, George Starr, Jay Teitelbaum, Richard Work and Paul Zabarsky. The teams received numerous honors from the sports, entertainment, business and political arenas. Teitelbaum, an outfielder, urged Holbrook to enjoy the tournament. “Enjoy every minute of it,” he said. “When you are between the lines on the field take it seriously and just realize you are going to remember this for the rest of your lives. They certainly should enjoy the surroundings of Williamsport and take it all in. Don’t let that pass you by. It was an incredible experience.”
Continued From Page 1 there were upside-down crosses, the phrase “Satan rules” and an expletive. A church representative declined to comment, and directed questions to the police department. The Berkeley Township Police Detective Bureau is conducting the investigation to determine suspects and a motive, police said. Anyone with information relating to this incident can give it anonymously at 732-341-1132, ext. 611 or detective@ btpdnj.org. The Knights of Columbus use Saint Barnabas as their home. Therefore, they offered a $500 reward for information that leads to a conviction in this case, said Allan Huhn,
Continued From Page 1 officials were upset that it wasn’t going to happen. “I’m really frustrated about the whole thing,” said Susan Cowdrick, who represents Island Heights on the board. “I do feel like a part of me needs more answers,” she said. “We had an ample amount of time to do this.” Superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides said that the representative from Realtime, the company that was assisting Central in accomplishing this, would be asked to come to a future closed door Education Committee meeting to explain what went wrong. Board members and professionals worked hard on it for years, Cowdrick said. If there was any inclination that more work was needed, they should have been told about it

Continued From Page 1 “Sometimes, these happen elsewhere,” business administrator John Camera said. They had been spotted at mainland areas, or lagoon properties like in Glen Cove.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
NEW JERSEY – Attorney General Christopher S. Porrino and the Division of Consumer Affairs are urging seniors to avoid becoming the victims of phone fraud schemes and are providing a number of educational tools to help with the effort. The Division offers brochures online to help consu mers ident if y scams and avoid them. Its latest brochure, Fighting Phone Fraud, also gives information on the federal Do Not Call Registry and how to sign up, along with ways to block robocallers. The message of the brochures is simple: If you think the call you are receiving is a scam, it probably is.
Attorney General Warns Senior Citizens About Rampant Phone Scams
“Technology has made it easier for disreputable companies and criminals to prey on senior citizens with a simple phone call, often bullying or cajoling people to part with their money. These types of scams are despicable,” said Attorney General Porrino. “We want to arm seniors with information to help them avoid becoming victims and also aid regulatory agencies and law enforcement to stop illegal activity before others are hurt.” New Jersey law also prohibits telemarketers who have not registered with the Division of Consumer Affairs from calling any New Jersey resident, regardless of whether the resident is
on the national Do Not Call Registry or not. Violations of that law can lead to a $10,000 fine for a first offense and up to $20,000 for each subsequent offense. “There are ways to punish scam autodialer calls in New Jersey, and we urge people who are being subjected to repeated calls to report these efforts to the Division of Consumer Affairs, said Steve Lee, Director of the Division. “Consumers should not engage these callers, but they should make sure to report the phone numbers.” Those who wish to file a complaint can submit it online. The scams outlined by the Division in its materials are
varied, but all seek either personal information or money. Here are some examples: A person posing as an agent of the Internal Revenue Service demands money for back taxes. A person posing as a relative calls, saying he or she is in serious trouble and asks you to send money in order to help. A person posing as a representative of your electric, gas or water service says that you owe it money and that if it’s not paid now, your service will be shut off. A caller says he or she is getting in touch on behalf of Medicare or Medicaid and is seeking personal information because you need
a new card. The advice for all of these is the same. Do not give money. Do not give personal information. Hang up immediately. In order to limit robocalling and scam calling, consumers first should make sure their phone numbers, both land line and cell, are on the federal Do Not Call Registry, which can be done by phone at 888-382-1222 or online at donotcall.gov. Unwanted sales calls also can be reported at this line. Unfortunately, robocallers and scammers will still call. Third-party services may be able to limit these calls. Information on those services can be obtained at fcc.gov/ consumers/guides/stop-un-
wanted-calls-texts-and-faxes#call-blocking-resources. Consumers should also know that spam and autodialer text messages are illegal as well. If you are getting unsolicited offers for free merchandise or services via text, do not respond. Instead, report these messages by filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (complaints.donotcall. gov) or the Federal Communications Commission (consumercomplaints.fcc. gov). In addition, if your wireless provider is AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint or Bell, you can report offending texts by copying and pasting the original text and forwarding it to 7726, free of charge.
Ocean County Offers End-Of-Summer Activities, Rain Or Shine
OCEA N COU NT Y – This area offers an array of intriguing and exciting indoor activities that make it easy to continue a great day of fun regardless of the weather. “Ocean County is a destination that includes entertainment, history, educational activities and playful venues that will keep the dark clouds from disrupting your fun,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, the liaison to Ocean County Tourism. For instance, Jenkinson’s Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach features oceanfront dining, arcades, a fun house and the spectacular Jenkinson’s Aquarium with its abundant sea life, penguins, tropical birds and more, providing an enriching indoor experience that is open all year long. Additionally, on Arnold Avenue in Point Pleasant Beach, shoppers can enjoy classic “Main Street” boutiques, antiques and specialty shops, as well as cafés and various dining options.
“This is a great area to shop local and enjoy some of the vibrant small businesses that Ocean County has to offer,” Vicari added. In Seaside Heights, indoor arcades are plentiful, and so are the restaurants and bars, both on the boardwalk and on the Boulevard. Many of these venues offer live entertainment depending on the day of the week and the time. There are also many museums around Ocean County to satisfy the history buffs. Two of the largest are the Tuckerton Seaport & Baymen’s Museum in Tuckerton, and the New Jersey Maritime Museum in Beach Haven. As for the unusual, check out Insectropolis in Toms River. This unique ‘bugseum’ is home to thousands of insects to keep your kids dazzled and engaged when outdoor conditions are not the best. For those who love nature and wildlife, Ocean County is an eco-tourism wonderland with classes
and programs for adults and children available at many of the 20 county parks. “Although the county parks are wonderful in the sunshine, Cattus Island’s Cooper Envi ron ment al Center and the Jakes Branch Nature Center are both outstanding choices rain or shine,” Vicari said. In addition, Double Trouble State Park features the Village Interpretive Center in Berkeley Township, which takes visitors back in time with a look at the history and village-life of the Pine Barrens. Other options include the Nature and Interpretive Center at Island Beach State Park, the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve in Tuckerton, The Lighthouse Center for Natural Resource Education in Waretown and the Barnegat Lighthouse Inter pretive Center in Barnegat Light. Of course, theater lovers can also fulfill their craving for live performances at one of the many performing arts venues throughout the
county. The Strand Theatre in Lakewood, The Grunin Center for the Arts on the Ocean County College campus in Toms River and the newly re-opened Surflight Theatre in Beach Haven all have events for all ages
during the summer. “There are plenty of activities available in Ocean County that move the fun indoors,” Vicari said. “Taking advantage of those days to explore all there is to offer here shows you can
never be bored at the Jersey Shore, even in the rain!” To find links on all of the above, and other things to do in Ocean County, visit OceanCountyTourism.com or facebook.com/tourism oceancounty.

–Photo courtesy Lloyd Mullikin Children in Djibouti enjoy donations from children in Bayville. By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A 9-year-old girl was thanked for her donation of flip flops and a soccer ball which made it all the way to Djibouti. Using her own money, she bought the items and sent them along to a military base, said Lloyd Mullikin, a Bayville man who collects items for soldiers and mails them overseas – sometimes at his own expense. One of his connections is a military chaplain in Djibouti, in the northern part of Africa. The chaplain takes care of troops, and also refugee camps in the area. “It is wonderful to see the difference one young person can make to the lives of children half a world away,” he said. The thank you letter from Capt. Donald
Mooney read as follows: “On behalf of the Religious Affairs office here at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, I would like to personally thank you Karissa, for taking the time and effort to take up donations to send to our office. The donations that we receive we take to a local nonprofit organization, Caritas, run by the Catholic Church. They take on the responsibility of feeding, clothing, and cleaning up the refugee street children here. They will definitely use the flip flops, and they just love playing soccer. Once again you have touched the lives of numerous children here in Africa.” Arrangements can also be made to pick up donations dropped off at businesses, organizations, or from individuals. Please call 732-2691397 for more information.

ten antiques, often tossed aside in people’s sheds or garages, new meaning, while learning about America’s past along the way. American Pickers is looking for people to be featured in the show and would love to explore the hidden treasures of local New Jerseyans.

Mah Jongg Lessons At Berkeley Library
BERKELEY – In 2012 the Friends of the Berkeley Library began a weekly gathering of people interested in playing the game of Mah Jongg. There was a great turnout and many of those in that first group return each Thursday from 1 to 3:30 p.m. to enjoy the game in the meeting room of the Berkeley Library, 30 Station Road in Bayville.
Beginning Thursday, September 14 and for the next six Thursdays, the Friends will give lessons to new players. No prior experience is needed and there is no charge for the lessons. You must register to join by going online to TheOceanCountyLibrary.org or by calling the Berkeley Library at 732-269-2144. Experienced players are invited to join at any time.

Free KI Tablets, Health Screenings At Lacey High School
LANKOA HARBOR – The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) is hosting a free potassium iodide (KI) distribution clinic on August 29 at Lacey Township High School, 73 Haines Street, from 12 to 4 p.m. Residents that live and work in the following towns can pick up pills or exchange expired pills. Barnegat Light, Barnegat Township, Beachwood, Beach Haven, Berkeley Township, Toms River, Harvey Cedars, Island Heights, Lacey Township, Long Beach Township, Pine Beach, Ocean Township (Waretown), Ocean Gate, Seaside Park, Ship Bottom, South Toms River, Stafford and Surf City. KI tablets are for residents that live in the 10 mile radius of the Oyster Creek Power Plant. The health department is distributing more than just KI tablets – they will also be dishing out a variety of free health screening and educational services at this special event. Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, said, “Our last free KI clinic was such a huge success with more than 820 people coming out and close to 6,000 tablets distributed. Because of the significant turnout, we decided it would be a great opportunity to expand the event by including several other health and educational programs in an effort to promote the many services the Ocean County Health Department provides for its residents.” Visitors can take advantage of free blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol screenings. Health department employees will also be on hand to offer free stroke risk assessments and medication management. Daniel E. Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator, added, “We want everyone to take advantage of this event, not just the people in need of KI tablets. This is just part of our on-going commitment to keeping our community healthy and safe and this event is the perfect one-stop opportunity for us to showcase the many vital services and resources we provide.” Experts in the field of alcohol and drug prevention, intoxicated driver resources, environmental health, emergency preparedness and communicable disease will also be available to answer your questions, offer tips and have plenty of take home literature that will assist

you and your family. A prescription drop-off box is also being made available for residents to discard unwanted medicine. Brian Lippai, OCHD Public Information Officer included, “We want to remind people that the distribution of KI tablets are for residents in need of pills or to exchange expired ones – not in response to any imminent danger or threat but as an emergency preparedness measure. The KI clinic is one of many types of clinics the health department provides throughout the year. Many people may be unaware that we provide these clinics and the many other valuable resources and services. That is why we are holding this special event.” For more information on the KI Special Event, please contact 732-341-9700, ext 7735 or follow Twitter@OCpublichealth or like the Ocean County Health Department on Facebook.
PROTECTING YOUNG ATHLETES’ EYES
According to a study involving 900 hospital emergency rooms, 30,000 patients are treated for eye injuries annually. Among those with sports-related injuries, 60% of the males and 67% of the females were aged 18 years or younger. With this in mind, parents should encourage their children to wear safety glasses, sports eye protectors, and goggles designed to protect the eyes from flying objects and errant elbows. Constructed of the same plastic (polycarbonate) used to make windshields in jet planes, sports eyewear is virtually shatterproof. When purchasing protective eyewear, look for “ASTM F803-88” and “ANSI Z87.1” on the label, which ensures the equipment meets tough safety standards established by the American Society for Testing Materials and the American National Standards Institute. Initially, there was some resistance by children to wearing protective eyewear. Today, sports goggles are an accepted part of daily life, much the way bike helmets have become the norm. To learn more about athletic eyewear, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., at 732-349-5622. We are dedicated to providing you with the best in patient care, focusing on Lasik, cataract surgery, glaucoma treatment, dry eye syndrome, macular degeneration, pediatric ophthalmology, and total eye care.

Technology offers all of us the opportunity to do amazing things every day that would have been unimaginable even 10 years ago. The advent and popularity of smartphones, such as the iPhone, has made our lives more convenient to the world around us than it has ever been. Our goal is to allow us an opportunity to connect people to the world around them in ways they may have forgotten, or never known in the first place; using the most advanced hearing technology available. Several hearing aid manufacturers including GN Resound and Starkey have developed hearing instruments which are iPhone compatible. What do patients like the most about this interactive breakthrough in hearing technology? Here’s what we’ve gathered:
The ability to stream phone calls, music, videos, FaceTime calls, and Siri from you cell phone straight to your hearing aids. The ability to make subtle adjustments for environmental changes with the touch of a finger, and that your iPhone remembers those settings, so the next time you return to your favorite places, you won’t need to make the same adjustments. The ability to use your iPhone as an additional microphone during conversations-place it on a table at a busy restaurant and connect with friends, family, and other loved ones more clearly. The ability to use your iPhone as a detector to find lost or misplaced hearing aids…GPS The convenience of all of these features in one handheld, easy-to-use device that you already carry with you
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!
Back-To-School Health Checklist
TOMS RIVER – It is the time of year when parents trek to the store to stock up on notebooks, pencils, backpacks, lunchboxes and many other things on their back-to-school checklist. It should also be the time parents take a moment to assure their children’s health is in order, before heading back to school. Community Medical Center, an RWJBarnabas Health facility, urges parents to make children’s health just as important as those school supplies or new outfit for the first day of school, and offers the following health checklist with important questions. Has your child completed a back-to-school physical? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, schools often require physicals to ensure students’ vaccinations are upto-date. These exams also provide an opportunity to monitor your child’s health on a year-to-year basis to ensure he or she is hitting milestone benchmarks. In addition to going over questions about lifestyle behaviors and personal and family medical history, your health care provider will also check vital signs, and perform heart, lung, abdominal, head, neck and neurological exams. Have you scheduled a vision screening for your child recently? A visit to the eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam is an important part of overall health. If your child is having a problem seeing the blackboard, it can affect their academic success. Also check with your child’s ophthalmologist for the proper glasses to wear when playing contact sports. Are your child’s immunizations up-to-date? Be sure to review any missed or new immunizations at your child’s check up. If you have recently moved from another state, check with your pediatrician to make sure your child meets the state’s immunization regulations. New Jersey schools require specific immunizations based on the age of your child. For a full list of vaccinations
required for preschool/child care, school and college entry in New Jersey, visit nj.gov/health/ cd/imm_requirements/. Does your child receive medication on a regular basis for a chronic problem? Any health problems should be made known to the school. School nurses and teachers should be informed, especially if they are the ones to administer the medicine. Speak with them before school begins and work out an emergency action plan. Has your child had a hearing test recently? If your child is listening to the television or music at a loud volume, or tends to favor one ear over the other when listening, it may be a sign of hearing loss. Have you updated your emergency contacts? Make sure your child’s emergency contacts on file with their school are accurate and current. If you move or change a number, correct it the next day. The child’s physician and dentist need to be listed. Does your child play sports? Consider scheduling cardiac and concussion screenings. Cardiac screenings can help detect underlying cardiac issues in young athletes and confirm that your child is healthy and ready to play. With a reported increase in concussions in sports like youth soccer, cheerleading, football and hockey, and even playground injuries, it’s important to have a cognitive baseline in case of a concussion. The RWJBarnabas Health Matthew J. Morahan III Health Assessment Center for Athletes provides statewide education, evaluation and assessment of sports injury and sports-related cardiac and concussion screenings. For information about upcoming screenings, call 973-322-7913. To find a pediatrician or specialist affiliated with Community Medical Center, visit rwjbh. org/community and click on “Our Doctors”, or call our free physician referral service at 1-888724-7123.

What’s In Your Meatball?
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Imagine a large white bowl where you toss in the ingredients to make meatballs. You expect them to be delicious and juicy if you put in the following ingredients right? Ground beef Bread crumbs An egg Chopped onion Parsley and garlic Salt and pepper That is the basic recipe. You mash that together with your hands, forming meatballs and then simmer them in spaghetti sauce. Does it turn out tasty every time? Perhaps in your kitchen it does. Now let’s consider your health, and you are the meatball. I’ll show you the pharmaceutical equivalent of all these classic “ingredients” designed to get you healthy. Here goes: Ground beef = Sleeping pills Bread crumbs = Antidepressants An egg = Statin cholesterol drugs Chopped onion = Pain killers Parsley and garlic = Acid reducers Salt and pepper = Blood sugar pills What’s in your meatball? The average “meatball recipe” consists of 13 medications per day. Does this recipe sound good? Many of you have agreed to it, whether or not it resonates with your personal health convictions. Do you feel foolish for wanting to use natural remedies? Do you worry that herbal extracts and vitamins are not approved by the FDA? There are many reasons you have become this meatball. Probably because 80 drug ads are aired every hour of every day, on American TV. One out of every three people asks their doctor
about drug commercials seen on TV. “My recipe above is slim, when you consider that the average person takes 13 medications per day.” It’s not always due to careless prescribing practices. No fingers are being pointed here. In fact, many innocent mistakes happen because your medication list is not complete, or current at each doctor ’s office. Regardless, the mistake affects you and only you. Mistakes are dangerous. Because we, as a nation, are so heavily medicated, I am confident this meatball recipe needs revisions. It needs a complete make-over immediately! Everyone’s so worried about heroin and other illicit drugs but do you realize that there are 10 times more deaths per year from improperly administered prescription medications? Some people experience a sudden adverse reaction and get rushed to the Emergency Room. 106,000 people never get to go back home to finish what they were doing. You take it for granted that your pills are safe don’t you? Prescriptions are handed to you super-fast. Picture money shooting out of an ATM super-fast like that. The intention of my blog is to force you to face reality and think about your future. I’m very aware as a pharmacist for almost 30 years, that some meds are necessary, but some are not. It’s my responsibility to make sure you understand there’s a risk to taking every pill you take, just like a potential advantage. Your risk is understated at the time the prescription is placed in your hand. Your true risk may not even come to your awareness until it is too late. Make sure your meatball recipe is right for you.

How Do I Shake Off The Blues?
Dear Joel, Every now and then I get “The Blues.” Nothing bad has happened and I’m still the same person today that I was yesterday – but sometimes I just feel blue. What can you suggest I do when I’m down about nothing? Feeling Blue in Lakewood
Dear Blue, That question has been pondered by the great minds throughout the ages. There are lots of suggestions, but you really hold the key to finding your happiness. Some people keep lists of the things they’re grateful for. Some people drown their sorrows with sad movies and songs, followed by a good cry, while others use exercise or physical activity like housework, and some turn to comedy. The thing you don’t want to do is indulge in destructive behavior, and turn to drinking, overspending or binging on any-
thing. You’ll only regret it later. Getting the blues is a perfectly normal thing. Some people, like writers and artists, even welcome them, because they bring up a whole different set of feelings. One good way to beat the blues is to have a routine in your life, so that no matter what mood you’re in, you still walk the dog, spend a set time in prayer, housework, etc. Tackling these routinely scheduled tasks can both lift your spirits and remind you that tomorrow is another day. Now, if the blues linger you may want to seek professional help. But for most of us, they are just like storms that pass quickly to bring a beautiful tomorrow. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Inside The Law How Much Automobile Insurance Should I Purchase By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
The State of New Jersey has a comprehensive system of laws with respect to compulsory automobile insurance. The statutes require the owners of every automobile registered and garaged in this state to purchase an insurance policy that includes bodily injury liability coverage in the event someone makes a claim against them; uninsured motorist coverage should they become involved in an accident with an uninsured driver; and personal injury protection (PIP/No-Fault) coverage should they incur medical expenses following an automobile collision, loss of income or loss of essential services. The two primary purposes of compulsory insurance are to provide prompt compensation to persons injured in automobile collisions and to ensure the existence of financially responsible persons to satisfy those claims. Thus, the law permits the owners of automobiles to purchase insurance to protect their own assets if they are sued by a person who is injured because of the negligent operation of their automobile (a “third party” liability claim) and to provide coverage to them, to resident family members and to occupants of their automobiles if they are injured in an accident caused by a person who is uninsured or underinsured (a “first party” UM/UIM claim). Our insurance laws provide the owner of an automobile with a choice of three different types of policies: 1). A “standard” policy includes all of the liability, UM/UIM and PIP coverage required by New Jersey law; 2). A “basic” policy provides no liability or UM/UIM coverage and only limited PIP; and 3). A “special” policy is available only to persons who qualify for Medicaid and provides only limited emergency PIP benefits. I recommend that you purchase a standard policy. A standard policy provides liability and uninsured motorist coverage with minimum limits of $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident; however, a policyholder has the option to purchase additional uninsured and underinsured
Robert C. Shea Esq.
Michael J. Deem
motorist coverage up to $250,000/500,000 split limits or $500,000 single limit. I recommend that you purchase automobile insurance with liability and UM/UIM coverage in the amount of $500,000 single limit. In addition, you should purchase a personal catastrophe umbrella with liability limits of $1,000,000. Some insurance companies offer an “umbrella” with UM/UIM coverage of $1 million. If your company does not offer this coverage, I suggest that you increase the liability and UM/UIM limits on your automobile policy to $1,000,000. These recommendations are more than the minimum limits required by New Jersey law and more that the average policyholder; however, they will provide you with the maximum insurance protection if you are sued by another person or if you are injured in an automobile accident. In addition to liability and UM/UIM coverage, standard policies provide PIP benefits with medical expenses up to $250,000 and a deductible of $250. The law provides a policyholder with the option to reduce the amount of medical expenses to as low as $15,000 and to increase the deductible to as high as $2,500. The amount of savings for either of these options does not justify the loss in benefits. Thus, I recommend that you reject all of the options and purchase the full PIP coverage provided by the standard policy. The ownership of an automobile is a serious undertaking with serious risks and obligations. If you own a car, you must accept the responsibility to purchase an insurance policy that will provide you and your family with adequate coverage if you or they are injured in an accident and that will protect your assets if someone else is injured. Choose your insurance coverage wisely. Please feel free to contact the attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free review of your automobile insurance policy.

BUSINESS PROFILE DeGRAFF FUNERAL HOME Compassionate • Respectful • Flexible
DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home, Inc. 119 Union Avenue, Lakehurst, N.J. 08733 732-657-7868 Sherry T. DeGraff, Mgr. N.J. No. 3921 degrafffuneralhome@msn.com
DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home is family owned and operated. Founded by Donald & Wanda DeGraff in 1979 in historic downtown Lakehurst. The building itself has a funeral history dating back to the early 1900’s. “Our father was the type of person who was so very compassionate and caring,” said Sherry DeGraff, Manager. “He was an entrepreneur, involved in a number of businesses, but his love was always for the funeral industry.” DeGraff’s mother Wanda is still alive and “still our boss, even if she won’t admit it,” said DeGraff, and her father, Donald passed away in 2004. Growing up with the funeral business surrounding her, DeGraff said she learned from an early age how to treat customers in their time of need. “You handle people in the same way you would want your own family handled, “said DeGraff. “You have to be a good listener, have a lot of compassion and be very flexible. While the core values – compassion, respect and flexibility – have not changed for the DeGraff family, the trends in the funeral business have. Years back, cremations were rare and some religious affiliations did not hold them in high favor. In 1990 the DeGraff family saw the future trends were leaning toward cremation, as a result, their daughter Sherry opened DeGraff Cremation Service offering a wide variety of cremation service options. The move towards more cremation represents the largest shift in the funeral industry. In fact, many consumers believe the cremation
itself is performed at the individual funeral home or cremation service they hired. This is not correct. Crematories are owned by cemeteries. Most people are surprised when they hear that. Many people are unaware that cremation must be authorized by a spouse or blood kin under New Jersey State Law. This can cause undue stress for people who do not have a spouse or family. In 2004, New Jersey law provides for the des- DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home has been family-owned and operated at 119 Union Avenue, ignation of an individual Lakehurst since 1979.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of august 26 - september 1 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Don’t make things more difficult than they need to be. There’s no need to tire yourself out trying to swim when floating with the current will get you where you need to go. It won’t take much effort to gain momentum this week. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): You can get farther with honey than with vinegar. A soft, tender approach may be what it takes to get a loved one to open up about their troubles this week. Don’t let rust set in; find constructive ways to utilize free moments. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It may be possible to take complete advantage of a situation but others may not appreciate it. In the week ahead find a solution in which everyone involved benefits. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cooperation is key. Finding someone who shares your enthusiasm and passion for a project will make the task that much easier. Making a minor sacrifice could create goodwill and help ease a stalemate this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Pace yourself. Take your time when tackling tough jobs as chipping away at the task a little bit at a time could preserve your stamina. Being in too much of a hurry to get things done this week leaves the door open for silly mistakes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Tag along for the ride. Pay attention when others offer advice and follow their lead when they take you into new and unexplored territory. Allow someone else to do the driving and you may gain valuable knowledge this week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Rise to the occasion. Approach the tasks on your checklist with enthusiasm and your slate will be wiped clean before you know it. Don’t be apprehensive if a loved one tries something different to get your attention this week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t let dog days get you down. Plan a poolside barbeque with friends or take in an air conditioned movie to beat the summer heat. Ask for advice when faced with decisions regarding business and finances this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):Accentuate the positive. You’ll never progress if you focus on the negatives of an issue. Put your energy into what you know will work as the week unfolds. Keep in mind that others are monitoring your performance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t beat around the bush. Being hesitant or over thinking could work against you, so just follow your gut instinct and go for it. Maintain an open mind about a romance this week and you could be pleasantly surprised. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Follow your whims. Do what feels right or pleasing to you this week even if it may not be practical. A friend or loved one may provide encouragement if you your imagination run wild and conjure an artistic creation. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Winning isn’t everything. In the week ahead remember that the most important thing about competition is to have fun and enjoy yourself. If it could, your body would thank you for some quality time out in the fresh air.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Berry Well: Enjoy The Final Days Of Strawberry Season Making This Classic Shortcake Recipe By Wolfgang Puck We professional chefs can sometimes feel the pressure of having to come up with new, delicious dishes that will get people talking and make them excited about returning to our restaurants. After all, if we served just the same old familiar recipes, their attention might turn elsewhere. But sometimes, as the saying goes, the oldies are the goodies. Especially when you want to show off a main ingredient that is at its peak of season, the simplest, most classic treatment can be the best way of all to prepare it - and your guests will rave about the results. Take strawberries, for example. We’ve entered the last few weeks of strawberry season, when the heart-shaped red fruit is full of unbelievably sweet juice that tastes like it has soaked up every drop of summer sunshine. What should you do with berries like that, beyond just eating them straight out of the box as you walk or drive home from the farmers’ market? Do you make strawberry ice cream, compote, souffles or preserves? Those all sound delicious, of course, but anything that involves crushing strawberries can seem like an insult to perfect specimens right now. The best answer to me is to showcase the berries in a classic dessert that’s almost synonymous with the fruit: strawberry shortcake. Freshly baked, tender, sweet biscuits made with butter, cream and eggs provide a perfect canvas for the berries, highlighting their flavor and soaking up every drop of their juices. Add a dollop of cold, softly whipped cream and you’ve got a dessert that’s perfectly balanced in its tastes and textures, and utterly beautiful in its contrasts of colors and shapes. You may wonder, though, how a well-known chef and his culinary team make their version of strawberry shortcake different than the rest. What’s our twist on the classic in the version from my Wolfgang Puck Catering team? The truth is, our twist is simply that there isn’t any. We don’t add any special ingredients to the shortbread mixture; it’s as straightforward as those made by home cooks a century or more ago. We don’t add little strips of citrus zest or a splash of aged balsamic vinegar to the strawberries (though, if they aren’t at their sweetest, you could be forgiven for adding just a touch of sugar). We don’t even sweeten the whipped cream, because that would compete with the berries. You might say it’s a minimalist dessert. But it’s elegant; the culinary equivalent of a man wearing nicely cut tuxedo or a woman in an exquisitely simple black dress. I hope you’ll try this classic yourself soon, while fresh strawberries are still around. (Or try it with sliced peaches, nectarines or plums!) CLASSIC STR AWBERRIES -AND CREAM SHORTCAKE Serves 4
SHORTCAKE: 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 large cage-free egg 1/3 cup (85 mL) heavy cream 4 ounces (125 g) unsalted butter, well-chilled, cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) pieces, kept cold Milk, for brushing the shortcakes STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM: 1 cup (250 mL) heavy cream, chilled 1 pint organic, ripe strawberries, hulled and cut lengthwise into halves or quarters depending on size 4 fresh mint sprigs, for garnish, optional Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Meanwhile, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg and cream. Set aside. Add the chilled butter pieces to the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until the butter resembles flattened walnuts, about 2 minutes. Turn off the machine and add the wet ingredients; then, mix on low speed again just until the dough comes together. Dust a clean work surface with flour and scoop out the dough onto the floured surface. With clean hands, fold and flatten the dough over itself to form a uniform square. Dust the dough with more flour and, with a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a uniformly thick square slightly larger than 6 by 6 inches (15 by 15 cm). Using a 3-inch (7.5-cm) cookie cutter or biscuit cutter, cut the dough into rounds, placing them on a nonstick baking sheet. Brush their tops with some milk and sprinkle generously with sugar. Bake the shortcakes in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; then, rotate the pan back to front in the oven and continue baking until the shortcakes are deep golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and leave to cool to room temperature. To assemble, whip the cream in the stand mixer or with a hand-held mixer until it forms soft peaks that droop when the beaters are lifted out. Do not overmix. With a sharp, serrated knife, carefully cut each shortcake horizontally in half. Place each bottom half on a serving plate. Generously spoon whipped cream over the four bottom halves of shortcake. Divide the strawberries evenly over the whipped cream. Place the top halves of the shortcake on top. Serve immediately, garnished with mint sprigs if you like.
