By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Revenues from Brick beaches this summer was at an all-time high this year, surpassing even the years preceding Superstorm Sandy. “Last year was the best year ever, before this year, in total sales,” said Director of Recreation Dan Santaniello just after Labor Day. Total revenues were $417,460, as compared to 2016 total revenues of $411,705. Revenues include the sale of daily badges, season and pre-season badges, daily and season parking, senior citizen parking and beach lockers. Twenty-nine people drowned at the Jersey Shore this summer, the most ever, Santaniello said, but Brick had a very safe season. “Our lifeguards did an amazing job. The water was very rough (Beaches - See Page 6)

Three:
Continued From Page 1 were asked to tell about their backgrounds, including how long they have lived in Brick; their education; their job history; if they have children who attend/attended township schools; and what they think are the most important issues facing the Brick school district. These are their answers in alphabetical order: Long-time Board member Sharon Cantillo is not running for re-election, but John Barton, 59, is running for his second three-year term. Barton was born in Rahway, but moved to Brick when he was 7 years old. He has his B.A. in psychology from St o ck t on Un ive r sit y, a nd at t e nde d Georgian Court University to earn an additional 20 credits to earn his Teacher of Handicapped degree, which certified him as a teacher. While he was earning these credits, Barton worked as a substitute teacher in Brick schools. He has taught eighth grade science in Jackson for 31 years. Barton’s classes are inclusionary classes, which include special education students. His wife, Tracy, teaches kindergarten at Emma Havens Young Elementary School. His two children attended Brick schools and graduated from Brick High School. While ser ving on the Brick Board of Education, Barton had been on the Facilities Committee, and he said continuing improvements on the schools is
one of his priorities. “We have to keep [facilities] in mind when the budget is created, because we have to do what we can within the financial means that we have,” Barton said. He said he would like school programs continue to grow to meet the academic needs of the community, such as the new high school STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) academies and the use of technology in the classrooms. Barton said that safety is a big concern to him since he is on the Safety Committee at his school in Jackson. “I’d like to see enhanced security drills, like lockdown drills and evacuation drills, which is like a fire drill,” he said. “I would like to look into the possibility of staying current with safety needs in the district.” Jessica Clayton, 38, is a NJ certified teacher in both preschool through 3rd grade, and K-5th grade. She taught in bilingual public preschool programs in New Br u nswick and Trenton for six years before opening up her state licensed home daycare in Brick. Clayton was raised in Dumont, NJ, and has lived in Brick about 10 years, but grew up spending her summers at her grandmother’s house on the Metedeconk River. She earned her degree in history and English from Rutgers University and has graduate credits from Montclair State University in early childhood ed-
ucation and has a P-3 certificate. Clayton has two children ages 5 and 7, and has home-schooled them for kindergarten. Her 7-year-old attends Voyagers’ Community School in Eatontown. “I want to bring play back. I send my daughter to Voyagers’ School because they don’t have play in Brick schools, and they don’t spend enough time outside,” Clayton said in a phone interview. “We have to work within the budget and the changes I want to make have nothing to do with the budget,” she said. “[The Brick school district] doesn’t follow the children’s interests, they have a blanket curriculum for all the kids. Voyagers’ School has individualized learning based on their interests. I’d like to bring that to Brick schools,” Clayton said. She said she believes in mandatory recess that could not be taken away as punishment or to be used as time to finish classwork. “I don’t think that’s fair. We all need a break to socialize, to regroup and to get rejuvenated and ready to learn,” she said. Maria E. Foster, 40, was born and raised in Williamstown, South Jersey, and moved to Brick two years ago from Margate. She has an Associate’s Degree from Mount West University, and is the Director of Government and Community Affairs for the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades. Before that, she worked as a commercial painter for
10 years. Foster said she relocated for her job and moved to Brick because the school district had good ratings, which was a concern because she has a 15-year-old son. “The school system in Margate was excellent, so I was looking for a place to live and I wanted to find a good school system,” she said. Foster said she is frustrated that only three people are running for the Board of Education. “I want to be involved. I own a house here so we’ll probably be here forever,” she said. “With the school budget cuts and everything else going on, I thought I could help.” She said she wants to make sure that tax dollars are being spent properly, and with her background she said she could bring oversight and logic to the budget process. “I want to make sure the children have what they need in the classroom to be successful in their lives,” Foster said. Foster said that when she moved to Brick she was looking for different opportunities to get involved in the community, so she submitted her resume for a position as a commissioner on the Brick Municipal Utilities Authority. She was appointed to the position by the township council. Maria Foster and John Barton are running as a team because they both said they have the same goals. The election will be on Tuesday, November 7, 2017.

Champs:
Continued From Page 1 It’s a great honor to be placed in that kind of a class.” Albano, who played for Monmouth’s Hawks from 1994-97, was a two-time first-team All-Northeast Conference selection. He scored 1,599 career points for the Hawks and graduated as their career rebounds leader with 779. He finished his career as their fourth leading scorer. The forward led Monmouth to its first NCAA Tournament berth in 1996. During the 1996-97 season, the former Indian scored 559 points. He twice scored 33 points against Long Island University in 1997. He averaged 19.3 points per game in 1996-97, a top-five season average in program history. Albano said teammates Mustafa Barksdale, John Giraldo, Jeff Franklin, Jack Gordon, Josh Peters, Steve Barnes and Glenn Stokes played large roles in his success. “I had a good group of teammates and I feel we jelled together,” he said. “We worked hard as a group and it was a group I grew with.” Now an account executive with Princeton IMG in sports marketing at Princeton University, Albano fell upon hard times as a freshman with the Hawks. “It was definitely a little struggle,” said Albano, who graduated on time from Monmouth with a degree in business management. “I went in at 190 pounds and 6-7. I left at 6-9 and 235. I needed to put on some weight and become stronger. I had to learn the pace and physicality of the college game. “I had to find my identity, my position and where I was going to fit in at the college level. The main things were to become bigger and stronger. I knew I had to put on some muscle to be able to bang with the big boys.” Albano chose Monmouth over Rider, Vermont and Maine. He also was recruited by Patriot League teams. “The level of play was pretty much the same across the board,” he said. “I had a great time on my visit to Monmouth and loved the guys on the team. I felt comfortable with them right away and said, ‘I can see myself playing with these guys.’ They made me fit in with them right away. Being close to home was a great advantage as my family and friends could see me play. I felt Monmouth was a local school where I could grow and take it to the next level. “I felt it would be a fun place to go as it would give me the chance to maximize my college experience. I also wanted to take the school to the next level.” Now 42 years of age, Albano played professionally overseas from ages 21-34. He competed in Italy for eight years, two years in Greece, one year in France, one season in Portugal and one year in Colombia. While in Portugal, he made the league’s all-star team, averaging 23 points and 11 rebounds per game in his second season overseas and first campaign in Europe. “We had a good team and a run and gun coach,” he said. “I had the green light to shoot. It was a fun year to grow into the European game. The defenders were very physical. The referees were fair. They let you use your hands on defense. “The coaches teach defense a lot. They want guys to help their teammates on defense. You will get pushed and you will be picked off and pushed. When you are in the lane, people will go over your back in their bid for the ball. You just have to be ready for everything.”
The Brick Times, September 16, 2017, Page 5 Fans were enthusiastic. “They were crazy, absolutely crazy, but not to the level of soccer,” Albano said. “In Greece, they threw fireworks and firecrackers at us and threw rocks at our buses. When we played for Verona against Milan, it was a city pride thing. It was real cool for a whole town to get behind you. If you lost, they were not too happy with you. If you won, it was great. My South-(Toms River) North experience prepared me for that.” Albano said he enjoyed competing abroad. “I had a fine career,” he said. “It’s your job so that takes it to a new level. Now, you are a pro and there is a little more pressure. It was a great experience for me as I got to see cities and countries that I had never seen before. I met some great teammates and coaches. The foreign game really fit my style. Friends and family came to visit me and we got to see as many cool things as we could. You have a job to do, but you also want to take advantage of where you are.” Playing overseas was financially rewarding for Albano. “Each team paid its own level of money,” he said. “There was more money in Italy than there was in Portugal. There was more money in France than there was in Colombia. You can definitely make a living as the teams pay for your car and all of your expenses. The teams pay the fees for your agent to a certain point. It is like anything else. You just have to work your way up.” Two knee injuries suffered abroad derailed Albano’s career. “That is kind of why I stopped,” he said. “When I look back, I feel it was sad to get hurt, but I also feel very lucky when I look back. They were the lone major injuries I had. For the most part, I had a nice, healthy career until the end. I guess it was just time.” Albano played for his dad, Greg, at South where he scored a school career record 1,726 points and graduated as the top rebounder in Indians history, picking off 854 career misfires. He erupted for a school single-game scoring record of 52 points. “Looking back, I loved it,” young Albano said. “It was great. Dad was there to help coach me and we had great guys - Chris Pagano, D.J. Unger, Anthony Kapp, Randy Laing, Mike Mueller, Graig Fantuzzi, Jeff Devlin and Sean Williamson - on our team. “It could have been difficult. The guys could have said, ‘He’s only playing because of his dad. He’s not getting yelled at because of his dad.’ The guys realized my dad was going to be fair and that I was going to get yelled at like everyone else. “We had a good group with good athletes and I appreciated the guys who played with me. I don’t want to say it was easy, but when I was in the games, my dad was my coach. When the games and practices were over and we were driving home, he was my dad. The guys on the team could have made it difficult, but it was a good experience for me. I could not imagine playing for (Toms River) East when my dad was at South.” Albano wound up playing more than one style of ball. “It’s funny, as when I was in high school I began my career shooting threes as a guard,” he said. “At Monmouth, I turned into a big guy in the low post. In Europe, there was a stretch where I played pick and pop and set the pick. I wound up shooting threes again so it was back and forth. I always tell kids, ‘Practice everything as you never know what you will need.’ “ Like Holmes, Albano belongs in more than one (Champs - See Page 8)

Beaches:
Continued From Page 1 this summer, and they always kept our patrons out of the dangerous areas,” he said. Every morning during their drills, Brick lifeguard would assess the shifting sandbars because the worst rip currents are between the sandbars. “The sandbars can change in a day. They can shift 50 to 60 feet pretty quickly,” said Santaniello, who was a township lifeguard for 20 years. One of the biggest challenges this summer was during the last two weeks of August when many of the lifeguards had to return to high school or college for spring sports. “It puts us with a low number of lifeguards – we only had 16 when we would normally have 35 – so we had to pay overtime, but lifeguards who are younger than 18 aren’t allowed to work overtime, so it was tricky,” he said. Another challenge was the August absence of long-time beach captain Donovan Brown, who fell and broke his kneecap after slipping on a nylon beach flag while exiting his truck at the end of July. He will need a six to eight month recovery, Santaniello said. Assistant beach captain Meredith Hudson, and lifeguard supervisors Tim Brennan and F.J. Lucchetti (all Brick high school teachers) stepped up and ran the beaches without a hiccup, Santaniello said. One of Brown’s duties was to switch off with Santaniello for daily 4 a.m. beach raking, but Santaniello trained Hudson and Brennan, who took over the job. “This year we handed out reviews for the public to fill out at the end of the summer, and
we got over 1,000 back, and they were all very good. The public feels like they have a say, and we take their suggestions into consideration,” he said. For example, one suggestion was for an additional foot spigot on the Brick Beach 3 shower platform, he said. Brick employed 70 lifeguards this summer, 16 badge checkers and 12 maintenance people, who maintained the ocean beaches and Windward Park beach. The steel wall was fully exposed during March and April, but the Department of Public Works covered most of it in time for Memorial Day. “They just had to do some minor maintenance throughout the summer, but the wall was covered except for a small stretch near Camp Osborn where it was a little exposed,” Santaniello said. For the 2017 season, the township sold: 21,737 daily beach badges; 1,423 season badges; 4,788 pre-season badges; 11,357 daily parking passes; 2,384 season parking passes; 1,226 senior season parking passes; and all 12 beach lockers were rented out (Santaniello said he hopes to increase the number of rental lockers in the future). The lifeguards performed 8 water rescues; 6 water assists; 68 instances for medical aid; one instance of administering oxygen; there were 2 calls for EMTs; 3 calls for Brick Police; 3 lost persons (children, who were found); and 1 disorderly persons report. Santaniello said the Recreation Department would be hiring about 20 lifeguards for next season. If you are interested, call 732-262-1073 after January 1, 2018.

Nothing Changed In Central Ruling On behalf of the Central Regional School District and at the request of the Board of Education, I am writing to clarify some misunderstandings that have resulted f rom the Asbury Park Press article entitled “Court: Seaside Park kids can keep going to Toms River schools.” (August 11, 2017). In short, the court’s ruling clarified the existing practice that Seaside Park students ONLY in grades K-6 students have the option of attending either the Toms River Regional School District or the Lavallette Elementary School District. In addition, those students also have the option of applying as a School Choice student to attend the Hugh J. Boyd Jr. Elementary School in Seaside Heights. The Central Regional School District, of which Seaside Park has been and remains a par t of, is a limited purpose regional school district for grades 7-12. Accord i ngly, t he Central Regional School District continues to be the assigned public school dist r ict for st udents in grades 7-12 that reside in Seaside Park. Should parents of those Se a side Pa rk st u de nt s choose to send their children to the Toms River Regional School District or from Lavallette Element a r y School to t he Point Pleasant Beach High School, they will be responsible to pay tuition to attend those school districts. Accordingly, nothing has changed as a result of the recent ruling. If you have any questions, please feel free contact me at 732-269-1100 ext. 206 or via email at tparlapanides@ centralreg.k12.nj.us.

Letters To but The Editor that the main issues recreation is dangerous. I Let Brick Voices Be Heard
At a recent Council meeting, the issue was brought up that some areas in town do not have a representative on the council. In Brick, the Council is made up of seven members who are elected “at-large” or f rom any geog raphical area in town. There are some tow nsh ips where they are voted “by ward” or voting district. This can be especially challenging when making decisions for the town because each area has different needs. Maple Leaf has a different set of issues than Princeton Ave. would, and both have different needs than Drum Point would. How can each of these areas be treated fairly in the decision-making process of the Council? Why don’t we reshape the council to include 4 ‘By-ward’ Council people and 3 ‘at-large’? The idea seems simple enough, but how will it work? The first step is to divide the town into 4 wards. Each ward will elect one council person from that ward. The other 3 members of the Council can be from any part of town. There are many ways this can be done. Frequent the local coffee or pizza shops. Get a volu nteer team together and do a se r v ice proje ct once a quarter. Get the people in the community together for a block party or other event. Make yourself someone that the people can go to, to get things done. If I was not r unning for office, I would probably not know who the members of council were. I would n’t k now them if they walked right past me at a store. The idea here would be that people know you, and know they have an advocate on the Township Council. T he pu r p o s e b eh i nd this is NOT that each and ever y issue that comes up will be brought up,
of the area are addressed a nd p e ople h ave mor e of a say in the decisions that will affect them. It will also help disseminate i n for mat ion more effectively and be one way that the township can be more transparent with the people of Brick. The four “by-ward” members will have more insight into the needs of their area, and the other three will be able to bring an “overall” view to the Council. These “at-large” will also help to keep a check on the “byward” so a person does not get elected and stay in the position for life. More det ails w ill be worked out after election and after hearing more feedback from the people of Brick, but before this would be put into place. To implement this, it would take about two years. Rob Canfield Candidate for Mayor
Abolishing Basketball Hoops Is A Mistake The Jackson Township Council is proposing an ordinance that would prohibit one from having a basketball hoop in front of his house and those in violation would be subject to a fi ne of $2,000 or possible imprisonment. While there may be a need to update laws to fit with the current form of government, it is a mistake to abolish the ability of having basketball hoops. T his will hu r t Jackson residents including our children. As one resident explained by the last Council meeting, “Playing ball and other outdoor activities is a healt hy a nd wonder f ul outlet for our youth.” In a time where drugs and obesity are so prevalent, this action would be wrong and tragic. Taking away a primary source of
am quite sure no one wants such responsibility. I urge our Town Council to reconsider this new ordinance that would be so harmful to our community. Moshe Heiman, Jackson
It’s Time For Some Mutual Understanding W hy do people move and sell their homes? The amount of homes sold in Jackson over the last two years is astonishing and qu it e shock i ng. W h ile many were home to seniors looking to downsize or people who got offered much above market value there is another surprising factor to keep in mind. People do not like living in a town struck with strife fear and division. With hundreds of Orthodox families moving in yearly, people do not want to raise their children here any longer, and for many it’s not for what you may believe. It is not because the new neighbors are disrespectful, or rude, rather it is because of the division it has caused. Many people do not want to raise their children to hear negative things about their new neighbors. To open every Jackson Facebook page and to hear endless stories about ‘’the new neighbors’’ and their religious practices, all painted as if they are terrorists, is depressing and sad. The latest action by the Mayor to force every resident with a basketball hoop to remove it plays right into that hysteria. Instead of letting ever y Jewish practice to turn into WWIII maybe it is time for some mutual understanding and dialogue, for if it doesn’t happen soon there will be more young people leaving Jackson and the blame will forever be at this administration’s feet.

PREVENTING EYE INJURIES
Many people take a careless approach to eye protection when performing potentially dangerous chores and activities around the house. This cavalier attitude invites eye injuries that can range from mild annoyances to catastrophic vision loss. With this in mind, the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Ocular Trauma recommend that every household have at least one pair of ANSI-approved protective eyewear that should be worn when doing projects or activities that could create a risk for eye injuries at home. Eyewear with “ANSI Z87.1” marked on the lens or frame means that the glasses, goggles, or face shield meets the American National Standards Institute’s safety standard. Anything less (regular glasses/wraparound sunglasses) does not offer full protection. Most safety eyewear manufacturers now provide packaging and product information revolving around how products meet these standards. Protective glasses or goggles with UV protection should be worn when snow or water skiing. They will help shield the eyes from sunburn and glare. To learn more about protective eyewear, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., at 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

hall of fame. He’s also a member of the Toms River Regional Schools Athletic Hall of Fame and the Monmouth University Athletics Hall of Fame. “Monmouth’s Hall of Fame means a lot to me,” he said. “Monmouth has become a bigger presence in basketball and it’s kind of cool to be attached to the school and its hall of fame as the school gets better and better. It’s kind of cool to be associated with Monmouth at that level.” Holmes scored 1,022 career points for the Peacocks in three seasons. He netted a school career record 35 straight free throws and tied the season record with an .853 free throw percentage in 1994-95. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the 1995 MAAC Tournament after scoring 24 points in a win over Manhattan in the championship game, leading the Peacocks to their second NCAA Tournament berth in program history. In that same season, he was a second-team All-MAAC selection after averaging 15 points per game. The next year, he averaged 14 points per outing, spicing his season with 27 in a win over the University of Alabama in the Cessna Classic at Wichita State. Holmes led the Peacocks to the Classic title and won MVP honors. Holmes is a hall of famer’s hall of famer as he is in four halls. He is a member of the Lakewood High School Athletics Hall of Fame. He’s in the St. Peter’s College Athletic Hall of Fame. Holmes and his buddies are in the St. Peter’s Athletic Hall of Fame. And, Holmes and his 1995 teammates have been enshrined in the MAAC Hall of Fame. “They all have special meaning for me and they all have a special place in my heart,” Holmes said. “Lakewood’s Hall is home for me. It is very dear for me. My time at Lakewood helped me get to where I am. St. Peter’s is also in my heart as I played at a higher level to succeed. I had success at the collegiate level and there is something to be said for that. We won the MAAC title together. Some special players and schools go many years without making the NCAA tournament along with winning the conference title. We still talk to each other on a frequent basis. “The MAAC Hall of Fame is the next one on my list and that is pretty big. The MAAC has had a lot of great players and to be recognized in it is pretty special. I was fortunate enough to put the work in. A lot of people got overlooked for it. The MAAC Hall of Fame is the most memorable. There is a little section in it and my name is etched in stone among the greatest players to ever play the game. When I take my grandkids there… the biggest accomplishment is getting into the MAAC Hall of Fame.” Holmes, a 6-foot-2 190-pound guard, chose St. Peter’s over St. John’s, Virginia, George Mason, Villanova, Coppin State, Fairfield and Manhattan. He signed with Manhattan to play for then-coach Steve Lappas. However, Lappas three days later wound up coaching Villanova. Influenced by the success of former Lakewood players Marvin Andrews and Tony Walker enjoyed at St. Peter’s, Holmes ended up in the Peacocks’ uniform. “Coach Lappas wanted to take me to Villanova with him,” Holmes said. “I felt Manhattan would be a better fit. I was 175 pounds soaking wet. In my first year, I probably could have put on a couple of pounds, but I wanted to play right away
and I felt I could have done that at Manhattan and St. Peter’s.” Holmes was recruited to St. Peter’s by thencoach Ted Fiore. “He was at all of my games and practices when I was at Lakewood,” Holmes said. “I became very familiar and comfortable with him. Tony and Marvin were already there and that kind of tipped the scales for me as they were successful not only on the court but also in academics.” Holmes graduated Lakewood in second place on its career scoring list with 1,936 points and won numerous individual honors. He led the Piners of then-coach John Richardson (for whom their gym was named) to two Shore Conference Tournament titles and two Holiday Jubilee crowns. Holmes is the head boys coach at Lakewood where his 11-year record is 229-65. He has coached the Piners to three NJSIAA sectional titles, one SCT crown and nine divisional championships. He has produced 20 college athletes (NCAA Division I, II and III). He has twice been named the Division Coach of the Year. He was honored as the Shore Conference Coach of the Year in 2012-13. He teaches algebra and geometry and works with a disciplinary program, In School Intervention, at Lakewood. For several seasons, Holmes has run the Coach Randy Holmes Basketball Camp for youths during the summer at Lakewood. He coaches a Jackson Township-based traveling team of fifth graders in the Mid-Monmouth League. He also coaches Team Swish, a boys Amateur Athletic Union 15-under team which attracts players from around the state. Also involved with Team Swish is former Lakewood and St. Benedict’s Prep of Newark star J.R. Smith, now a key member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. “I am a coach by nature so I am happy coaching at any level,” Holmes said. “It is the most rewarding to coach the younger guys as they are not jaded by anything. They want to learn. Nobody as of yet has told them how good they are. Nobody thinks they are LeBron James (of Cleveland) or Kevin Durant (of the Golden State Warriors). We can make them into what we want them to be and that is very refreshing. “They look you in the eye. They say, ‘Yes coach,’ and ‘No coach,’ and they don’t complain about playing time. The parents know the abilities of their kids and for a lot of the kids the expectations are not very high. Once a parent sees their son dribble, shoot and pass better, their self-esteem rises. That is what is the most rewarding for me. They are more like sponges. They soak up the knowledge and the information that you give them.” Holmes took a leave of absence from teaching and coaching in 2004 to mentor Smith after he was drafted on the first round out of St. Benedict’s by the New Orleans Hornets. “J.R.’s parents trusted me to be his mentor for his whole rookie season,” Holmes said. “It was a great experience. I had never had an experience like that before. I saw the inner circles of the daily operations of professional basketball. I was in every league arena and met (former NBA players and coaches) Willis Reed and Byron Scott. I went to the ESPYs with J.R. I tip my hat to the NBA players. They are on the road in three different time zones in five days. “J.R. handled it well. He could not go to any clubs at the age of 18 so we sat in hotels playing X Box and Play Station.”

man “Doc” Hart of Brick. Reuniting after playing opposite each other in the same roles 30 years ago are Windber R. Brandt (Toms River) as Charlie Brown and Renee S. Tompkins (Wall Township) as Lucy Van Pelt. Corey Crawford (Beachwood), as Linus, will be familiar to many from his roles in Guild Theatreworks productions. Rounding out the cast are Maria D’Amato (Long Branch) as Sally Brown; Windber’s son, Windber R. Brandt (Ocean Gate), as Schroeder; and Madison Starr Wicker (Brick) as Snoopy. There will be two performances: Saturday, October 14 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, October 15 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door at Greenbriar II Clubhouse, 1 Greenbriar Boulevard.

Anglers:
Continued From Page 1 discussion from Council and audience members about what to do with the ever-shortening fishing season and its negative impact on commercial fishermen throughout the state and beyond. Jim Hutchinson Jr.’s Sept. 8 article at TheFisherman.com quoted boat captain Adam Nowalsky that cuts felt in fish seasons and quotas for 2017 will be mild compared to what’s expected for 2018, based on the early returns from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries surveys. Those quotas and seasons are set annually. Captain Victor Hartley III of Miss Ocean City explained to Jersey Shore Online that although regulations dictate what size fish may be kept, anglers must count all fish caught toward quotas. “We don’t have enough quotas is one issue, and the other issue is we don’t have enough days,” Hartley explained. “We don’t have the time to catch anything.” The quotas and seasons were cut because the powers-that-be determined that New Jersey overfished in previous years. Three fish are most caught in the state: flounder, sea bass and scup. The cuts are hurting charter boats’ and saltwater anglers’ bottom lines, the anglers said. Ed Yates, president of United Boatman of NJ, told Council he and his members need black sea bass season opened on an emergency basis, as this year’s season was cut short. Although some fisherman have permits to fish in federal waters, those fish cannot be landed in New Jersey. “This has led to two things: unemployment for not only my crew, people at our dock, and now I’m getting people telling me that they’re going to lose their help,” Yates said. “So now we’re really in a dilemma. We’re sending people to the unemployment office early because of this.” He added that the fishermen of New Jersey are “fed up” with the “nonsense” of the Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Council and Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, the bodies that determine recreational harvest limits. The MAFMC was created as one of eight regional fishery management councils under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976. That is the primary federal law regulating marine fishing in federal waters. The law was overhauled in 1996 and again in 2007, and is up for reauthorization. Some saltwater anglers support the Modernizing Recreational Fisheries Management Act of 2017, introduced back in April. The sponsors say Magnuson has created unnecessary restrictions and seeks to have the fisheries management overhauled and modernized. The ASMFC dates back to the 1940s and comprises three commissioners from each state: Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. This commission also deals in fishery management. NOAA Fisheries, part of the Federal Commerce Department, monitors the fishing of waters, and according to its mission statement, under the authority of Magnuson, works with the
The Brick Times, September 16, 2017, Page 15 regional fishery councils “to assess and predict the status of fish stocks, set catch limits, ensure compliance with fisheries regulations, and reduce bycatch.” Locally, the NJDEP’s Division of Fish and Wildlife holds to ASMFC seasons and limits, which are approved by the Marine Fisheries Council each March. Council chairman Dick Herb said New Jersey was the first state ever to challenge the ASMFC and win a reversal, specifically
about fluke. A coordinated effort by all fishermen—commercial, recreational, private— can pressure those decision-making bodies to adopt more favorable regulations for New Jersey. “At least we broke that mold,” Herb said about the decision reversal. “We’ve got to build on it. We can’t just say, ‘Hey, we won. Now we’re going home.’” In the meantime, audience members called for an organized, formal protest

of the Dec. 11-14 joint meeting of the MAFMC and ASMFC in Annapolis. It’s at that meeting when recreational harvest limits for 2018 will be proposed and adopted. Hartley has offered to arrange a charter bus so fishermen will make the trip to Maryland. A show in numbers may help sway things in New Jersey’s favor. A Facebook group, NJFFFR New Jersey Fishermen Fight For Fishermen’s Rights, has more information about the planned trip.

How To Increase The Longevity Of Your Hearing Aid
Statistically, hearing-impaired patients replace their hearing aids about every four years. Additionally, during that four-year period, your hearing aid may have to go back to the manufacturer for repair at least three to five times … Why? The most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is wax build up in the receiver port. Those metal picks that your dispenser provides you with (for cleaning purposes) are problematic. In my opinion, you should clean your hearing aid with a soft toothbrush while holding the receiver port of your hearing aid down towards the floor (so the wax will not fall back into your hearing aid). The second most common cause of hearing aid breakdown is moisture build up, which can cause your hearing aid to work intermittently. In this case, a dry aid kit is very useful in removing moisture from your hearing instrument (particularly during the more humid summer months). A third reason for hearing aid malfunction
is that most patients do not receive routine follow-up services. In my own practice, patients return to the office at either threemonth or six-month intervals for cleaning and adjustment of their instruments. Just like your car needs an oil change every 3,000 miles, your hearing aid needs to be checked at least twice a year by your hearing health care professional. In summary, if you follow these steps, you will increase the life of your hearing aid: 1. Clean your hearing aid every day with a soft toothbrush. 2. Open the battery door at night to prolong the life of your battery. 3. Ask your hearing health care professional for a dry aid kit to alleviate moisture build up in your hearing aid. 4. Schedule routine follow-up visits with your hearing health care professional at least two or three times per year. 5.

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
How To Prepare A First Aid Kit During Severe Weather By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. We just saw the devastation by Hurricane Harvey and then Monster Irma! It’s not just rain, wind and flooding that leads to a disaster, it’s also earthquakes, landslides and fires. You just never know when severe weather will strike, you never know when you’ll have to jump in your car and evacuate… or rush down into the basement for a tornado! It’s important to have a plan but I can’t say everything here in 500 words, so read the complete version which is 3 times longer (it’s posted on my website live right now): suzycohen.com In the meantime, this will get you started: 1. Medications - Keep a handwritten list in your wallet. Even better (if you have the time) is to stick the prescription label onto a piece of paper so all your dosing information is shown. I’d also keep the list on your smart phone. When the power goes out, pharmacies can’t access your medication profile on the computer anymore. Your list allows paramedics to give you the correct pills or shots. 2. Ziploc with Water - Fill a Ziploc bag about 75 percent full with some fresh water, then freeze it. Keep several frozen at all times. If you need to leave in a hurry grab them. While frozen, it can protect insulin, food or liquid antibiotics. As it melts, you’ll have pure water which you can drink in an emergency. 3. Portable Charger - Buy a portable cell phone charger (aka power bank) and a transistor radio, it can be hand-crank, battery operated, or even solar-powered. 4. Dishwasher Storage - Your dishwasher
is waterproof so if floods are anticipated, store photo albums and documents inside the dishwasher. When the water recedes, they should be perfect. 5. Loved One List - If a rescuer wants to call your loved one or spouse to assure them of your safety and rescue, having a handwritten “Loved One List” is invaluable. Let’s face it, nobody knows phone numbers by heart anymore. 6. Children - I lived in Florida for 35 years, and when the hurricanes barreled through, I always made sure that my kids were pleasantly distracted with puzzles, painting, beading or “camping” in the (safer) hallway. 7. Emergency kit - You can buy some very nice ones on Amazon or Costco, or you can create your own like this: DIY First Aid Kit • Analgesics like ibuprofen or acetaminophen • Hydrocortisone and antibiotic ointment • A little blanket and a pair of socks • Toothpaste/brushes and deodorant • Small salt shaker to replenish electrolytes • Spare undies if you’re evacuating to a shelter • Eyeglasses or contacts • A whistle to call for help • Spare keys to your house/car • A multi-purpose knife • Flashlights/batteries • N95 or N100 mask • Ziplock bags and toilet paper 8. Map - If you have to drive because of an immediate evacuation, and you can’t use GPS in your car, or your smart phone, then an actual map is a blessing. Just get in the car and drive to safety!

weekend, so that gives the high schools more time to adapt to the changes. The changes haven’t been made public yet. “It was very disappointing to see this behavior,” he said. Both student bodies will be addressed as well. They need to be encouraged that if you “see something, say something” to prevent f ut u re incidences like this. “There were 10 kids involved in the actual issue but there were hundreds who saw what happened,” he said. Those involved were disciplined by the school, he said. A video surfaced online showing a portion of the fight, which led to news of the incident being known throughout town. Sgt. Neal Pedersen said that the detective bureau is handling the case. They will determine if charges will be given or if school discipline will be enough. “Someone happened to record a small snippet” of the fight, he said. So, investigators need to find out more about what happened before and after what was filmed.

Beth Am Shalom To Honor Dr. Richard And Diane Gaines
LAKEWOOD – Beth Am Shalom will be hosting a special Tribute and Dinner for Dr. Richard (Dick) and Diane Gaines for their service to the Temple, The Ocean County Jewish Federation, the State of Israel and the worldwide Jewish community on Friday, October 27 at 6 p.m. The dinner will be followed by a short Shabbat service in the beautiful sanctuary and a program that will include a musical performance by Cantor Arlene Unger, the B’Nai Ruach Junior Choir and speakers who will pay tribute to Dick and Diane. Dr. Richard Gaines is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who practiced in Lakewood for many years. Richard, better known as Dick, is a past president of The Jewish Federation of Ocean County. He is also the past president of Solomon Schechter Academy of Monmouth/Ocean County. As a long-time member of Beth Am Shalom, Dick’s beautiful voice enhanced the adult choir for over 25 years. During his service to the Jewish Com-
munity for over four decades, Dick made approximately 100 trips to Israel and other countries where Jews lived under perilous conditions. A founder of The Jewish Federation of Ocean County described Dr. Gaines as a man “who wants to heal a fractured world.” Diane Gaines, who like Dick, was born and raised in Lakewood, has been by his side in many of his endeavors. Diane has owned Chateau Hair Designs in Lakewood for nearly 40 years. She is also a real estate agent for the ERA Byrne Agency in Point Pleasant. Diane and Dick are members of Beth Am Shalom, and she currently serves on The Federation’s Board of Trustees. In addition to the dinner, Beth Am Shalom will be publishing an ad journal that will be distributed to all ad purchasers and members of the Temple. In order to obtain an order form and/or make reservations for the dinner, please call Beth Am Shalom at 732-363-2800.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Preferred Home Healthcare & Nursing Services By Robert D. Verderese The first thing you will notice upon meeting Joel Markel, President and owner of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services, a home health care agency, is his friendly and soothing demeanor. The cadence of his voice reveals a compassion that is as genuine as it is heart-felt. In a business which concerns itself with traumatic family situations, Joel’s caring bedside manner seems all-the-more important. Indeed, the company motto, “Home Health Care with Feeling,” is not just a catchy sales pitch but rather the core of the business ethos—born out of a series of family tragedies which ultimately manifested in Joel a profound and compelling empathy. Joel’s misfortunes commenced when he was about 35 years old with the news that his widowed sister Helen had been diagnosed with terminal skin cancer. Consequently, Markel and his wife Stephanie took Helen and her two young sons into their home. “We could not find a home health care agency that provided the full-time care my sister required’’, Markel recollected. “On top of that, my sister lamented over never seeing the same person twice. This did not comfort her.” A short time after this cancer reared its ugly head again when their son Ryan was born with pediatric cancer. “Nurses who were pediatric specialists and willing to care for Ryan at home were extremely hard to come by,” Markel recalls. “And all of the nurses were reluctant to treat Ryan by virtue of how sick he was.” During this trying time, Markel learned a lot about home health care agencies. He learned that most were very limited in terms of the care that was provided. Most only provided services for geriatric care; with very few providing care for children and fewer still for both the old and the young. He also discovered that there were almost no nurses who were qualified to care for patients who were severely sick. “The care that was available at this time was not adequate for us,” Markel recounts. “My wife and I realized that virtually all health care agencies were deficient both from a professional and emotional standpoint.” Tragically, Joel Markel’s sister Helen died shortly after his son Ryan was born and Ryan—who had acute complications from birth—passed at 11 months of age. As a result of these tribulations, Markel’s heart—although filled with grief— began to orient itself in a more empathetic sphere. “I longed to talk with parents who lost
children. I wanted to help them with their pain and in turn for them to help me. I wanted to comfort them and for them to comfort me—I needed some kind of support!” Markel reminisced with unbridled passion. Teeming with empathy, Markel resolved to start a support group for fathers who lost children. This undertaking, however, quickly revealed
at Preferred, caregivers provide an important social connection for their patients as well as an outlet to social activities—with transportation to adult day care or simply having company or professional assistance for a walk in the neighborhood. Preferred Home Health Care’s success Markel attributes almost exclusively to its tenet: “Home Health Care with Feeling.” He believes it’s that emphasis on compassion for others which has sustained the agency for more than 25 years. “We care for people and are committed to helping as many people in need of quality home health care as possible” says Markel. Preferred services include care for infants, babies, adults and seniors, tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs. The agency provides around-theclock or hourly service, with either medical or non-medical assistance available. Whether it is 24 hour service from a registered nurse or 3 hour a day care from a home health aide, the company’s underlying mission remains singular—to treat each patient like family in the comfort of their home, (rather than living in a hospital) promoting independence and dignity for an optimal quality of life. “Every caregiver at Preferred must have a bona fide passion for the work they do,” Markel expresses. “It’s not just a preference, it’s a prerequisite,” he continues. Although
“We care for people and are committed to helping as many people in need of quality home health care as possible” – Joel Markel itself to be one of futility insofar as fathers had no desire communicating their losses to one another. This harrowing time in Markel’s life he aptly described as his ‘Book of Job’ time. Nevertheless, it was this dark period which shed light on the significance of quality home health care in people’s lives. “I started really contemplating the possibility of running a home health care agency,” Markel reflected. This contemplation became a reality when—after reading in The New York Times that a home health care agency in central New Jersey was for sale—Markel shortly after bought the company with the intent of dedicating all his efforts to providing comprehensive home health care ‘with feeling’ to people in the greatest need. Servicing New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Markel’s vision of providing superior home health care with an emotional touch has been fully actualized by Preferred: “We foster a culture of emotional connectivity here. It is essential for our caregivers to assume a familial role for the people they take care of,” Markel explains. To be sure,
hiring caregivers who are passionate is paramount at Preferred, other more tangible qualifications are important as well. For instance, all of the caregivers that work for the agency are fully licensed, bonded and insured, and are subject to a thorough screening and vetting process. Indeed, it is this fusion of ‘passion’ and ‘quality’ which really distinguishes Preferred from its competitors and serves as the principal impetus for the company’s long-standing success. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses also figure prominently within Preferred Home Health Care’s family of professionals. For more than 20 years, these highly skilled caregivers provide state-ofthe-art services and technology to their patients. In addition, the clinical professionals at Preferred teach patients and their families how to manage their illnesses or injuries and explain post-treatment home care needs, such as: diet, nutrition, exercise programs and self-administration of medication. The RNs and LPNs at Preferred are also instrumental in
establishing a care plan or contribute to an existing plan developed by the patient’s doctor. When Joel Markel bought Preferred, over 20 years ago, he could never have envisioned the company’s current status as a multi-faceted, premiere health care agency. By surrounding himself with good, smart, highly qualified people who shared his ‘philosophy of care,’ Markel set out to create a health care agency that went far beyond its traditional confines. For instance, more than half of the agency’s patients are children who have serious medical conditions. These children are cared for by RNs with specialized pediatric expertise which is second-to-none, who provide the most advanced, integrated and extensive services available. Preferred also provides individual care for children while at school, assisting with bus transportation, fieldtrips and providing a clinical eye that is as vigilant as it is consequential. To say that Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services was born out of tragedy is as true as the changing seasons. The idea to start the business began with Markel’s difficulty of not being able to find quality home health care for both his terminally sick sister and seriously ill son, and tragically culminating with their respective deaths. But it was this dark experience which made Markel aware of the importance of comprehensive home health care and which ultimately motivated him to create Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services—home health care ‘with feeling.’ You can reach Preferred anytime via preferredcares.com or by calling 800-603-CARE (2273).

Dear Joel, My wife Susan can’t ever make up her mind. If I ask, “Would you like to go out for dinner?” she says, “If you want to.” If I ask “Chinese or Italian?” she says “Oh, it doesn’t matter” Hot coffee or iced? Chocolate or vanilla? Paper or plastic? I think you get the picture. It’s maddening. Why does she do this and how can I get her to make a decision… any decision? Bob, Toms River Dear Bob, It’s been my experience that people who have a hard time with decisions do it for two main reasons. Either they are afraid to face the consequences of their choice (everyone hated the movie you picked) or they are real pleasers. They would rather forfeit their preferences to keep you or the group happy. Which is she? If she lacks confidence then make if fun. Say, “Tuesday is Susan day. Whatever Su-
san picks will b e t he r ig ht choice,” a nd make her stick to it. The pleaser type may require a little acting, because they REALLY want you to be happy. Show them that even if their selection was a dud, you enjoyed trying something new, and that you’re looking forward to doing it again. And end the day with a sweet word. There is a third group that truly doesn’t care about anything, but I’m sure that’s not Susan. Remind Susan we all make hundreds of choices a week, and no one ever gets them all right. You picked Susan and her picks will be fine with you. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Inside The Law Injured At Work? Know Your Rights To Critical Benefits!
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage. In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits. Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment. Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment, even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization. Further, it is important to note another critical benefit of the Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit was upheld by the
New Jersey Appellate Christopher R. Shea Esq. Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation. The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care. If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case.

Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of september 16 - september 22
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your energy levels will improve faster than you can say zip-adee-do-dah. You have an imaginative viewpoint that helps you perform creative projects, as well as your job, with enthusiasm in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Swear on it. Ambition may be your life, your whole life and nothing but your life, at least during the first half of the week. Your logical approach to financial matters can be helpful to your handling of joint asserts. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your words may be more impactful on others than you realize. Just be sure that you tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth as this week unfolds. Someone may be somewhat suspicious of your motives. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mark your place. Final decisions should be put on hold until the end of the week. You will be better off if you suspend a crucial decision until the timing is better. If you decide that it is best to wait others will agree. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You prefer to be seen as a paragon of political correctness. Because you are too busy examining other people’s faults, however, you may overlook your own. Honor your obligations and act responsibly this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Start the week off by getting your closets organized or the receipts filed away. You could be more concerned with thrift and economy than sharing off your assets. Treat family members with respect in the week to come.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Pay attention to what other people do, but do your own thing. In the week ahead you could have better things to do to fill up your time than to tag along. Be sure to answer emails and phone calls in a timely manner. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your inspiring ideas could bring people together and break a stalemate. Someone close may be riveted on financial security and material success in the week ahead. Look the other way if people seem quarrelsome. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Plan your work and work your plan. Take responsibility for your own actions, since a busy schedule leaves little time to oversee others. Don’t begin any major new undertaking until the end of the week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You could be challenged to discuss something that you prefer to keep under your hat. You must share information to preserve someone’s trust in the week ahead, but may find that this creates a serious conflict. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Control yourself and avoid controversies. In the week to come someone might offer to take some responsibilities off your hands. Don’t consider this to be an affront to your abilities or doubts about your competence. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may feel the boss is looking over your shoulder or that the rules are difficult to comply with in the coming week. If you exert some effort your work will be seen in the best light and things will turn out favorably.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen BackToTheTable: A Sweet,Tangy Stir-Fry Is Easy OnThe Budget And Brings EveryoneTogether By Wolfgang Puck SWEET-AND-TANGY PORK-AND-VEGETABLE STIR-FRY Serves 4 to 6 12 ounces (375 g) well-trimmed center-cut boneless pork chops, about 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick 1 green bell pepper, halved, stemmed, and seeded 1 medium-sized yellow onion, peeled 1 medium carrot, trimmed and peeled 3 tablespoons soy sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 1/2 tablespoons Asian-style toasted sesame oil 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Steamed white rice, for serving 2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, for garnish With a sharp knife, cut the pork chops into
1/2-inch (12-mm) dice. Set the meat aside in a medium mixing bowl. Cut the bell pepper, onion and carrot into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice, combining them in a separate bowl. Pour the soy sauce into a small mixing bowl. Add the cornstarch and stir with a fork until the cornstarch has dissolved completely. Stir in the garlic, sesame oil, vinegar, red pepper flakes and brown sugar. Add the seasonings mixture to the bowl of diced pork and toss well. Set aside at room temperature to marinate for about 15 minutes. Wash your hands thoroughly. Heat the peanut oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add the pork mixture and stir-fry with a long-handled spoon or spatula, keeping the pork cubes moving continuously around the pan, until they have turned lightly golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add all the diced vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Continue stir-frying over high heat until the pork is cooked through and nicely browned and the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 2 minutes longer. Spoon the steamed rice into individual serving bowls or onto serving plates. Spoon the stirfried pork and vegetables on top of the rice. Garnish with scallions and serve immediately.
