SOUTHERN RELIABILITY LINK PIPELINE APPROVED

By Chris Lundy TRENTON – The Southern Reliability Link pipeline was approved as far as the Pinelands Commission is concerned, although environmentalists vowed to continue the fight.

This is a pipeline proposed by New Jersey Natural Gas. It would run for 30 miles, starting with a connection to an existing pipeline in Ches-

terfield. The path of the proposed pipeline would travel through North Hanover, Upper Freehold, and Plumsted. Then, it would go through Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and Manchester Township. The line would run through existing rights-of-way.

The Pinelands Commission was judging the

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Ocean County’s Teacher of the Year for the 2017-2018 school year has a familiar face. She’s Manchester Township High School Science and Special Education Teacher Christine Newbury, who has been teaching at the

school since 2011.

County Teachers of the Year are not only recognized for their valuable contributions to their local school communities, but are also given an opportunity to serve as ambassadors of education to officials at the county and state level.

Ms. Newbury’s contributions in the classroom are nothing short of amazing. She teaches all levels of Science classes in replacement, inclusion and alternative school settings, and is chairperson of the Technology Team and coordinator for the (Teacher - See Page 7)

Rain, Rain, Drove Away Shore Summer Crowds

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – The summer of 2017 was a wet one. The rain’s exact impacts on New Jersey’s $40 billion tourism industry won’t be known until next March, but “The greatest challenge in Summer 2017 has been the weather,” Dana Lancellotti, director of Ocean County

Business Development & Tourism, told Jersey Shore Online.

“We had key tourism weekends—Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day—all affected by rain and/or very discouraging forecasts.

Reports vary depending on the town/region of the county and the attractions,” she said.

Continued From Page 1 families in need.

Two years ago, Tim and Janet O’Brien lost their daughter, Emiliana, to osteosarcoma, a cancer that starts in the bones. They started Emiliana’s Hope, and work with the Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

“Everyone shies away from it, family and friends included,” Janet said. “People want to put their head in the sand.”

It can even be the last thing that a doctor thinks about, too.

Her doctor had thought the pain in her shoulder was a pulled muscle, Janet said. They did an X-ray, but not an MRI, thinking it was tendonitis.

Months later, an MRI was finally performed and the cancer was found. By that time it was 11 cm, and had hit her lymph node and lung.

“She had a misdiagnosis for six months and it basically spread throughout her body,” Tim said.

“Two years later, the family is still suffering,” Janet said. Caitlyn is 12, and Connor is almost 2.

“We were a family of 5 for only 7 short weeks,” Janet said at a golf outing fundraiser. “Connor will never remember his sister holding him, singing to him, playing with him. Caitlyn lost her confidant and best friend. They did everything together. It’s not fair that Caitlyn and Connor lost their sister because there isn’t enough funding for childhood cancer research.”

Their organization has helped six other families with their financial needs, sponsored scholarships, and helped out in ways to fill in the blanks of service for families dealing with childhood cancer. Research and funding for childhood cancer is disproportionately small

compared to adult cancers.

Between birth and 19 years, there are approximately 15,800 cancer diagnoses a year nationwide, said Michael B. Harris, a pediatric hematologist-oncologist with Hackensack Meridian Health, quoting the Center for Disease Control.

This equates to about 43 a day, enough to fill two classrooms. This number has been going up in recent years. Part of this is that detection is better, but that doesn’t account for all of the increase.

“It’s such a steady increase. It could be the detection is better, but it could be incidences are going up for other reasons we don’t know,” Harris said.

Of them, acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common, affecting 20 percent. This is followed by 18 percent brain and central nervous system cancers, and 15 percent lymphomas.

Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma make up about 5 percent.

“It’s actually a national tragedy,” he said, speaking of how the impact is felt in a family for generations. “Every time you lose a child you lose a universe.”

The most positive statistic is that 82 percent of children diagnosed with cancer survive it.

“Our goal is to cure 100 percent of children,” he said. That’s why it’s important to raise money for research and support.

Even if a child is cured, their struggle doesn’t end there. Part of spreading awareness is telling patients that they are in this for life. There will be other issues they have to look for as they get older. For example, if someone is irradiated for lung cancer, there is a greater likelihood that they will get breast cancer down the road. As a result of researching these connections, doctors are now using less radiation in treating lung cancer.

Therefore, monitoring the patient is really

both were diagnosed with osteosarcoma.

That kind of coincidence worried local residents.

“Osteosarcoma is diagnosed in 400 kids a year and we have two of them right here,” Tim said.

Tim said he had done some research into the environmental issues in the area. There was some minerals in the water in the 1920s, but no other red flags.

In Dan Fagin’s book, “Toms River,” he traces the history of epidemiology, the study of how disease is contracted, as background for the cancer cluster story in Toms River. At the end, the epidemiologists were unable to prove that drinking water was contaminated

by Ciba-Geigy or Reich Farm, but suggested that there was a correlation. Part of the problem was that epidemiology is a growing field; new technology can prove something today that couldn’t be proven decades ago. Another part of this is that every cancer is a different disease, with potentially different causes, and it might not be appropriate to lump them together.

“Environmentally, it’s very difficult to figure out,” Harris said.

It’s also not caused by one exposure. You don’t drink contaminated water once and then get cancer. The current thought on the subject is that it takes a prolonged exposure that is not likely in very young children.

Certain cancers are tied to workplaces. For example, prolonged exposure to asbestos is a known causality.

“Cancer is common,” Harris said. The Toms River case is a very famous one. Erin Brockovich’s case against an energy company contaminating groundwater is another. So, cancer clusters are on everyone’s mind, even if a cluster is difficult to define.

important. They have to take better care of themselves. The research has told doctors what to look for, and the patients need to keep it in mind.

Approximately 60 percent of survivors have some kind of problem afterward, but that number is starting to go down, Harris said.

“We’ve taken an acute disease and it’s become a chronic disease,” he said.

There’s a psychological problem, though.

After years of cancer treatments, patients and their families are tapped out. They don’t want to see another hospital again for the rest of their lives. They take the all-clear from the doctor as a victory and try to move on.

Only about half of them do the follow-up that they are supposed to do, he said. Some patients will come in and vomit because they have begun to associate hospitals with the nausea-inducing chemotherapy. It becomes psychosomatic.

This is why Hackensack Meridian started the survivorship treatment program in a separate location.

“They don’t have to sit in a clinic that brings back so many memories,” he said.

Insurance companies also don’t see the value in survivorship treatment. Once the expensive cancer treatments are done, the insurance companies don’t want to pay for any follow-up. That’s why a lot of it is supported through philanthropy, Harris said. Organizations like the Sohn Research Foundation and Tomorrows Children’s Fund have been instrumental. “Without their help, we would probably have to close the program.”

Manchester Family Ends Argument In Stabbing

By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – An argument between father and son in the Cedar Glen West section of town escalated into a stabbing in the early morning hours of September 13.

Manchester Police responded to a residence on Robin Street around 5:50 a.m. to reports of a stabbing after 58-year-old John Brescia reported that his father, 85-year-old Victor Brescia, had used a large knife to stab him in the abdomen.

The younger Brescia managed to get the knife away from his father and escape to a safe location until police arrived and located him. He was transported to Community Medical Center in Toms River by

Continued From Page 1 According to data compiled by NJ Weather & Climate Network, part of Rutgers University, it rained all but four summer season weekends, Friday through Sunday, in Seaside Heights, including Memorial and Labor Day weekends. The Fourth of July weekend was spared there.

It rained in Point Pleasant Fourth of July weekend on July 1 and 2, but otherwise was clear the same weekends as Seaside Heights, according to the network’s data.

Jonathan Carr of Weather NJ explained why this summer has been so wet. It was a mix of situations, including jet stream patterns, a weak La Nina system, and low pressures.

“This is why I feel summer of 2017 was wetter than summer of 2016 when we were coming out of an El Niño colder season.”

Carr’s data revealed a wetter-than-average May and August but drier June and July.

“Jenkinson’s Boardwalk and Seaside Heights seemed to suffer significantly from weather forecasts that over-estimated the impact of any dark clouds that may be on the radar,” Lancellotti shared. “Ultimately, scaring people away for the whole weekend when we ended up with rain for only an hour or so. Very difficult science!”

Despite the weather at the Jersey Shore,

members of Quality Medical Transport with help from MONOC paramedics for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Victor Brescia was taken into police custody and charged with one count of Aggregated Assault with a Weapon and one count of Possession of a Weapon for Unlawful Purpose. He was taken to the Ocean County Jail pending his first court appearance.

Patrolman Nicholas Greenwood of Manchester’s Patrol Bureau and Detective David Fusaro of the Investigations Bureau conducted the investigation with assistance from Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit detectives.

Lancellotti said its tourism season was still strong. Hotels in Southern Ocean County saw increases over last year, as did hotels in the northern part of the county, although weekday business was slower than on the weekends.

She added that trends show weekends are expanding in places like Lavallette, where tourists arrived on Thursdays rather than Friday, and on Long Beach Island, which saw tourists arrive Wednesday, a “newer trend.”

Lancellotti added that while the weather kept Blue Claws fans away, Six Flags Great Adventure had a record year with more than 600,000 passes sold.

Summer tourism in Ocean County alone is a $4.7 billion industry, and has seen a steady increase since Super Storm Sandy, which hit New Jersey Oct. 29, 2012. Tourism revenue that year was $4.2 billion, according to figures provided by the state. Even after Sandy, coupled with a cooler Spring and federal government shutdown that year, visitor spending had a 1.3 percent increase in 2013.

Jersey Shore Online reached out to several local businesses, including Jenkinson’s Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach, Fantasy Island in Beach Haven, and a Seaside Heights official for comment on their summer seasons pre- and post-Sandy. They did not respond by press time.

Continued From Page 1 pipeline’s impact on the Pinelands. They voted 8-4 in favor of it. The Commission only has governance over the 12.1 miles that would run through the Pinelands.

The “Yes” votes included Ocean County representative Alan Avery and a governor’s appointee, Gary Quinn from Lacey, as well as William Brown, Giuseppe Chila, Paul Galletta, Jane Jannarone, Edward McGlinchey, and chairman Sean Earlen.

The “No” votes came from Candace McKee Ashmun, Mark Lohbauer, Richard Prickett, and another governor’s appointee, D’Arcy Rohan Green of Bay Head.

Commissioner Edward Lloyd recused himself, and Bob Barr was absent, according to a spokesman. The Commission usually has 15 members, but they are down to 14 because currently there is no federal appointee.

The vote was whether to accept Pinelands Commission executive director Nancy Wittenberg’s recommendation to allow the pipeline under certain conditions. These conditions included making sure the work site is kept clean and that native plants are used for revegetation. Another condition requires having a biologist on hand to notice any Pinelands species that might be impacted, and an engineer on hand to prevent chemical leaks from drilling.

“The Pinelands Commission hereby finds that there is ample evidence in the record that demonstrates that the proposed development with the conditions recommended by the Executive Director conforms to the minimum standards of the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan,” her recommendation read.

Environmentalists had been protesting this pipeline for months, and the fight does not appear to be over.

“Once again, they took the side of pipeline companies over doing their job

“We are very proud to have Christine represent our district and Ocean County as the County Teacher of the Year,” said Superintendent David Trethaway. “Christine possesses all of the qualities of an outstanding teacher but the two qualities that stand out are her passion for her students and her willingness to continually look to improve by challenging herself to fi nd new and innovative instructional methods to provide the best education for all of her students. We are fortunate to have an excellent staff in the Manchester Township School District and Christine is a great example of what it takes to be an outstanding educator.”

What makes this more outrageous is that the court ruled that Nancy Wittenberg’s previous approval of the SJG pipeline exceeded her authority. Now the Commission is rubberstamping her decision instead of acting as an independent body.”

A press release from the New Jersey Sierra Club noted that they are currently suing the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) and the Pinelands Commission on their approval of the SRL pipeline.

“There have been conflicts of interest throughout this whole process. The decision-makers for this pipeline have been tainted from Christie down. He put many of the Commissioners in their positions so they would help him push through these pipelines,” he said.

Director of Communications for New Jersey Natural Gas Michael Kinney said in a press release that the company was pleased with the vote.

“NJNG has worked hard to develop a route for the Southern Reliability Link (SRL) that enhances resiliency, complies with the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan, benefits the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and minimizes the impact to the environment and community,” he said. “The SRL has now been approved by the New Jersey Pinelands Commission, the state Board of Public Utilities and the Department of Environmental Protection. Now we are focused on fi nalizing our outstanding road-opening permits and continuing to work with the Joint Base. Once we have all of the necessary permits, we will begin construction to enhance the resiliency of our system and ensure safe, reliable service for our customers.”

The New Jersey Department of Education is counting on her to take the resources and information she learns back to the Manchester School District.

“I am truly blessed and honored to represent a county full of extraordinary educators who dedicate their lives and passion to bettering our future through our students,” said Newbury. “I am also honored to represent Manchester Township School District. I am so proud to be a Hawk and call Manchester my home away from home.”

County Teachers of the year are fi rst chosen as Teachers of the Year at the school level through the Governor’s Educator of the Year program. But the competition doesn’t end there. The New Jersey State Teacher of the Year will be announced at the State Board of Education’s October meeting, and whomever is named will go on to represent New Jersey at the National Teacher of the Year competition.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER The Importance Of Federally-Qualified Health Centers Federally-Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are facing a severe loss in funding. On September 30, 2017, the Community Health Centers Fund, which accounts for 70% of Federal Funding for our programs and services, will expire.

This potential loss could greatly impact their ability to deliver critical services to the patient populations of not only New Jersey, but the nation.

As Board Chairwoman of the New Jersey Primary Care Association, which represents all 23 Health Centers throughout the state of New Jersey, and President and CEO of Ocean Health Initiatives, Inc. (OHI), an FQHC with nine locations in New Jersey, I am gravely concerned for the future of our health care institutions. We are looking for support to help educate Congress about this dire situation, assuring that Health Centers can overcome this potentially catastrophic funding loss and remain a safety net providers for underinsured and uninsured Americans. We are all part of a mighty voice that can be generated with the aid of patients and supporters, pushing forward our message urging Congress and our leaders to fix this funding cliff before it is too late.

Currently, FQHCs service over 27 million Americans.

In addition, FQHCs help to lower health care costs, create new job opportunities and help to reduce the need for hospital visits. Through this necessary funding, Health

Centers are able to provide primary and preventative care services to the uninsured and underinsured populations of America. Without funding, FQHCs would not be able to administer vaccinations, provide dental care, or offer family care services from infancy through our patient’s senior years.

For FQHCs to remain operational and continue to grow, Congress must extend the Health Center Fund and more and keep current funding levels where they are; if not raise them. If this funding cliff is not addressed, Health Centers across the country are looking at their programs being reduced by potentially 70%.

This would be a devastating hit to the communities that FQHCs serve and could dramatically impact the health of the large patient populations that benefit from Health Center services. This could include the closing of nearly 2,800 Health Center Locations and a loss of more than 50,000 jobs, leaving nearly 9 million patients without the access to the care they desperately need and are currently receiving for their primary care needs.

We implore our leaders to take this message into consideration and provide a solution for this funding cliff. The health of many vulnerable patient communities depends on it.

Theresa Berger President and CEO of Ocean Health Initiatives, Inc. (OHI)

Eruvs In Jackson Township Thank you Jackson Township for fighting to ensure

Letters To The Editor that er uvs do not exist in Jackson. I would only ask that being that there is clear case law in this matter if you can go fi rst to the “pot stir rers” in town and ask them to pay for the costly lawsuit that will be coming. W hile I understand the private eruvs may be problematic I would like to point out two things. Firstly with the private eruvs we only shot ourselves in the foot as the religious community can just move them to the other side of the sidewalk where they will still remain an eyesore. So we removed the ability to have sporting equipment and in all practical terms they still will have the eruvs. WE LOST. Second of all the eruvs on utility poles exist all over the U.S. and let’s be honest, they cause no harm. If the utility company allows them, there is really nothing we can do and to fight it is a waste of time and money as they will build it anyways eventually. Yes many are not happy to see change in a town but guess what, we better get used to it as it is not changing.

In Response To “A Vote For Trump”

Mayor John Ducey Kept His Promises

I wish to reply to a letter from Rosemary Doherty (“A Vote For Trump,” Sept.

2, 2017) Ms. Doherty asks how things are working out for we who voted for Trump. Well in truth, pretty good. Although I’m sure we will disagree on some of his policies, let’s talk about how everyone (including Ms. Doherty) is benefitting from President Trump’s activity: The Trump stock market rally has added $4 trillion to the nation’s economy, something everyone with a retirement account (401K, SEP, etc.) or investments, share in. U.S. small business optimism is the highest it has been in 10 years and money is again being invested.

More than 1.1 million fewer people are on food stamps under President Trump. U.S. unemployment has hit the lowest levels since 2001.

No doubt the 1 million new jobs created since Trump took office has helped and manufacturing is up by over 4% after 10 years of steady decline. The democrats are no longer talking Russia, since there is nothing there and are now saying “racist” yet they refuse to condemn Nazi-like activity by Antifas and Black Separatist/Marxist organizations like Black Lives Matter. Strange that the party that created the Jim Crow Laws, voted against the Equal Rights Amendment and the Federal Anti-Lynching Law (like Al Gore’s father) should be so concerned about racism. By the way, if anyone is mentally unstable it’s Hillary Clinton who has shown multiple positive signs of delusional thinking, projecting and denial. I guess all those years with Bill have caught up to her.

Yea things are looking pretty good for us Trump voters, lucky for Ms. Doherty a rising river lifts all boats, including hers.

John Cardello Little Egg Harbor

John Ducey and his team made a lot of promises when they ran for Brick Mayor and Council and they kept their promises.

Mayor Ducey promised to get rid of red light cameras, and he did. He promised to bring back the Anti-Drug Task force, and he did – along with a program to help opioid addicts get treatment. He promised to stop the tax increases, and he did. This year municipal taxes actually went down!

Promises made, promises kept. Mayor Ducey and his Council running mates deserve our vote this November.

Joe Vicari Is Serious About Education I was very pleased to read about Freeholder Joe Vicari’s efforts to bring more specialized training to Ocean County.

Joe Vicari’s plan to work with local businesses to ensure that the county’s vocational schools provide the kind of training business owners are looking for in their new employees is an outstanding example of his leadership. I understand that Joe Vicari is a lifelong educator and it shows. These kind of creative ideas will help our students complete-and-succeed in a very competitive job market and economy.

Browsing through the Vocational-Technical Schools website, I was amazed by the variety of programs offered. I expected to see plumbing and auto repair, but was surprised by subjects ranging from marine sciences to culinary arts with training at an actual working gourmet restaurant.

Programs like this prove Joe Vicari is serious about education. His efforts deserve our support. Please join with me in re-electing Freeholder Joe Vicari on November 7.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

OCEA N COU NTY – Ocean County’s Vocational-Technical Schools have long prepared students for diverse careers ranging from marine engineering to culinary arts to plumbing, but Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari now wants to add a new facet to the educational programs.

“We are going to talk to local business leaders about the kinds of training they need for a new generation of workers,” Vicari said.

“We will offer the kinds of specialized training both

Freeholder Vicari Announces Specialized Training For Modern Businesses

our students and businesses need to succeed in the 21st Century.”

Vicari envisions a system where students will be trained specifically for jobs that exist in Ocean County.

“While many of our graduates already find employment in Ocean County, our goal is to keep more of this talented workforce employed here within our borders,” Vicari said.

Healthcare for instance is one of the county’s largest and fastest-growing industries, he said.

“Our nursing programs provide graduates for local hospitals, doctors’ offices, nursing homes and other health care businesses throughout the county,” Vicari said.

“Following this successful model, we hope other clean, high-tech industries will be attracted to our homegrown talent.”

A lifelong educator, Vicari is also liaison to the Ocean County Workforce Investment Board and the Department of Business Development and Tourism.

With specialized training,

not only will our graduates find local employment, but businesses will be encouraged to move and expand into Ocean County to take advantage of a highly skilled and talented workforce,” he said.

The Ocean County Vocational Technical School already offers career majors in over 40 areas for students going on to college or directly into the workforce.

Classes are offered at eight different facilities around the county.

The Marine Academy of

Technology and Environmental Science (MATES) in Stafford Township provides some of the county’s topranked high school students specialized honors curriculum focused on marine and environmental science.

Culinary arts students receive on-the-job training at Cuisine on the Green restaurant in Little Egg Harbor Township.

“We’re training our students so Ocean County will be able to compete in the ever-changing global economy,” Vicari said.

Last year Ocean County Vo-Tech graduated 77 certified apprentices in electricity work, plumbing, HVAC and machine trades. Each of those graduates is now working in their specialized field, Vicari said.

The Vo-Tech’s programs are geared not just to high school students, but adults as well.

“We have the facilities and programs to retrain adults who may be working in retail or other declining professions and are looking to improve their career outlook for the future,” Vicari said.

County Distributing Over $250K In Recycling Revenue

OCEA N COU NTY – Ocean County’s 33 municipalities will once again each receive a share of recycling revenue as part of a sharing program that has sent more than $16 million to towns since 1995.

“We are very pleased to announce once again that recycling pays in Ocean County,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little. “For the first half of 2017 we will be returning $252,686 to our municipalities.”

From January thru June of 2017, towns recycled more than 39,606 tons of waste,” said Little, who is also li-

aison to the Department of Solid Waste Management.

“That’s 1,773 tons more than the first half of 2016.”

The payout rate for the first half of the year was $6.38 per ton under a new agreement with Atlantic Coast Recycling.

“Our partnership with our communities continues to keep waste out of the landfill while providing additional revenue to the towns,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “The Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management and Freeholder Little do an outstanding job in making

certain recycling programs are easily accessible to everyone.”

The amount ret ur ned to towns is based on the amount of collected recyclables brought to the County and the current commodity market price.

The first half of 2017 saw a substantial rise in the priceper-ton for most recyclables.

Corrugated paper and cardboard jumped by $88 per ton, newspaper was up $31, tin cans $66, aluminum $123 and PET plastics saw a $126 jump. Only colored HDPE plastics saw a decline, dropping $34 a ton.

Little said towns can use the money as needed although many invest it back into the recycling program.

The largest recycling revenue sharing checks will go to Lakewood, Toms River, Brick, Stafford and Jackson townships.

“And, while these are the county’s largest municipalities, I applaud all of our towns, even the smallest, for their ongoing recycling efforts,” Little said.

The towns and the amounts they are scheduled to receive are: Barnegat Township,

$8,942.49; Barnegat Light, $536.59; Bay Head, $528.01; Beach Haven, $1,778.07; Beachwood, $3,026.67; B e r k e l e y To w n s h i p , $13,655.86; Brick Township, $28,823.40; Eagleswood Township, $762.22; Harvey Cedars, $456.87; Island Heights, $724.35; Jackson Township, $15,936.47; Lacey Township, $11,603.21; Lakehurst, $785.95 and L a k e w o o d To w n s h i p , $48,327.81.

also education, farming tools and seeds to enable them to raise their own food. One quarter of the funds that are collected remain in local food banks and pantries; the remainder is destined to relieve world hunger abroad.

MANCHESTER – Carol Moroz, Library Media Specialist at Manchester Township High School, spent five days in Washington, D.C. this summer learning new skills at the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Summer Teacher Institute.

Moroz was selected from over 300 applicants nationwide to attend one of five available sessions. She was the only participant from New Jersey during the week she attended.

“I learned so much,” she said about the intense sessions that focused on how to teach with and use primary sources. “Primary sources are defined by the Library of Congress as the raw materials of history,” Moroz explained.

“They include documents, maps, photos, artwork, video and audio tape, film, and manuscripts. The Library of Congress specializes in sources from the 1800’s and early 1900’s.

Manchester Branch Library’s October Health Programs

MANCHESTER – During October, the Manchester Branch Library will offer four programs that are part of the library’s “Chapters of Health” series. Chapters of Health programs provide general information on health topics that are of concern to many people. In many cases the presenters are professionals from local health related organizations that have partnered with the library to help educate the public.

October 3 at 2 to 4 p.m. - “Seven Steps to Managing Your Memory.” Using vignettes and character-based stories that provide real-life examples, Dr. Andrew Budson will discuss the issue of memory loss. His book, “Seven Steps to Managing Your Memory” will be available for purchase and signing after the program.

The 340 page book resulted from his team’s desire to provide patients with additional information beyond what they can offer them in the limited amount of time afforded by an office visit. Andrew Budson, MD is Associate Director of the Boston University Alzheimer Disease Center.

October 10 at 6 to 7 p.m. - “Understanding Dyslexia.” Elizabeth Becza will discuss symptoms and treatments for dyslexia. In addition to being a librarian at the Manchester Branch Library, Ms. Becza has specialized training and experience working with students that have dyslexia. She is trained in the Orton-Gillingham tutoring method and is certified as a Wilson Reading System tutor. She is also trained in the Lindamood Bell Visualizing and Verbalizing program. This program is especially helpful to parents of emerging

readers and older readers who have difficulty learning to read.

October 20 at 2 to 4 p.m. - “Calming Coloring.” Coloring is one of the hottest new trends in stress relief for adults! Spend a relaxing afternoon creating, listening to soothing music and relaxing with like-minded adults at the library! Coloring sheets, pencils, markers and crayons will be supplied free of charge.

For even more de-stressing we usually have aroma therapy and a visit from a therapy dog.

October 24 at 6 to 7:45 p.m. - “Film Screening: The Miracle Worker.” Blind and deaf after suffering a terrible fever as a baby, young Helen Keller (Patty Duke) has spent years unable to communicate, leaving her frustrated and occasionally violent. As a last chance before she is institutionalized, her parents (Inga Swenson, Andrew Prine) contact a school for the blind, which sends visually impaired Annie Sullivan (Anne Bancroft) to teach Helen.

Helen is initially resistant, but Annie gradually forms a bond with her and shows Helen ways of interacting with other people. She grew up to become an author, political activist, and lecturer as well as the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. This 1962 biographical film is being shown to honor Disability Employment Month.

Except where otherwise indicated, please register for any of these free programs online at theoceancountylibrary.org or call 732.657.7600. They are all open to adults free of charge. The Manchester Branch of the Ocean County Library is located at 21 Colonial Drive in Manchester Township.

The Ten Commandments Of Hearing Many of you know someone who is hearing impaired. It is quite exhausting for them to continue to listen on a daily basis.

Here are some suggestions to keep in mind: Thou shall not speak from another room.

Thou shall not speak with your back towards the person.

Thou shall not start speaking and turn and walk away.

Thou shall not say “never mind” or “forget it” when asked to repeat.

Thou shall not speak in competition with something else (running water, TV, etc.).

Thou shall get the attention of the person with a hearing problem.

Thou shall try to speak face to face at all times.

Thou shall remove obstructions while speaking (your hand, cigar, etc.).

Thou shall try to speak distinctly and slowly.

Thou shall try to be patient at all times.

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!

Free Cardiac And Concussion Screenings Offered For Children Five Years And Older

TOMS RIVER – The Matthew J. Morahan III Health Assessment Center for Athletes will provide free cardiac and concussion screenings to children ages five and older on October 14 from 8 a.m. to noon at Community Medical Center in Toms River.

Free concussion screenings are for children 5to 18 years old and cardiac screenings are offered for children 6 to 18 years of age.

Pre-registration is required as space is limited. To register for the screening and to schedule an appointment time, please email teamlink@rwjbh.org.

When preliminary testing to identify serious cardiac problems is provided to young athletes, sudden cardiac arrest and tragic deaths may be avoided. Ninety percent of sudden cardiac deaths in young athletes occur during or after athletic activities and hidden heart conditions are often the cause.

This cardiac screening will help to identify children, age six to 18 years of age, who

may require further testing or intervention.

The concussion baseline screening is for children, ages five to 18 years old. Having a concussion baseline study (ImPACT) can help identify issues in the future. Children five to 11 will be tested on an iPad which is much more game-like and makes the testing fun. If a child is believed to have suffered a head injury, this screening test may be used to evaluate the severity of the head injury and determine when it is safe to return to normal activities.

The screenings are being offered at Community Medical Center in collaboration with the Matthew J. Morahan III Health Assessment Center for Athletes, both part of RWJBarnabas Health. The Morahan Center provides education, evaluation and assessment of sports injury and sports-related cardiac and concussion screenings.

Screenings are free of charge and a parent or guardian is asked to be present.

Birthday Cake Is A Health Hazard

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

We’re programmed to blow the candles out on birthday cakes and then enjoy the dessert. How splendid! But you realize people are spitting on it, right? For years I’ve ignored this one gruesome detail at birthday parties. If you’re not the blower, you better wish for a strong immune system and a pack of probiotics!

For goodness sakes, it’s gross but we overlook it don’t we… now there’s a study published in the Journal of Food Research, which has discovered that blowing out birthday candles results in 1,400 percent more disgusting germs on the cake’s frosting, than if you don’t blow those candles out.

I’ll have a slice of birthday cake with a Z-Pak please.

Studies only test regular candles, so don’t get me started on those trick candles which turn your party into the pneumonic plague.

I can see you rolling your eyes from here, worried about how silly or anti-social you will appear for not bonding with the birthday boy and all that splattering spit on the communal cake. Maybe you can make an exception for your adorable toddler, or your spouse, but not for a stranger, yuck!

Here’s my God’s honest truth: If I was at a restaurant and the waiter came over and blew on my food, I’d honestly get up and leave! I wouldn’t even be nice about it. I’d leave a terrible Yelp review.

Are you with me on this? Are we germiphobes or just precautious, dare I say intelligent?

The older you are the worse the phlegm flying!

Forget 8 year-old Johnny, consider 88 year-old Edith. By the time she’s done blowing, you might have to pick her dentures out of the icing!

Yes I’ll take a slice if it’s chocolate, hold the wisdom teeth.

Okay okay, I’m completely out of my mind about this, but just for a moment humor me. You have about 650 different species in your mouth.

Go just 24 hours without brushing, and 20 billion germs becomes 100 billion! Here’s what’s in there (and also on your cake): Rhinovirus - Associated with the common cold Herpes Simplex Type I - This one causes fever blisters, aka “cold sores” Influenza - This is usually the bug behind The Flu Streptococcus - Many diseases including Strep Throat Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans - A mouthful huh? It causes gum disease Clostridium - A very dangerous germ causing severe diarrhea The study was simple. Researchers spread cake frosting onto a Styrofoam base (to mimic cake) and then spread foil over the frosting. They pushed birthday candles through the foil, down into the Styrofoam ‘cake’ base.

Then the scientists rounded up people who were interested in eating pizza.

I am dead serious.

After consuming pizza (and probably beer but I can’t confirm that yet), the test participants blew out the lit candles. Since pizza is my second favorite food behind sushi, I would have gladly volunteered for this research, but no one bothered to ask me. Regardless, frosting samples plated to determine bacterial growth. The contamination level was nothing to celebrate.

Would you like more information as well as safer alternatives for birthday candles? If so, sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll email the extended version of this article to you.

At the risk of sounding ridiculous, I’m going to email Betty Crocker now and ask them to formulate antibacterial cake frosting, and then pay me royalties. This will cut down on the obsessive thoughts of consuming all those germs at your next office birthday party.

Oy! This whole conversation reminds me of the old English proverb, “You can’t have your cake and eat it too.”

Dan Levinson Takes Jazz Back To Its “Jass” Roots At Grunin Center

On the morning of February 26, 1917, while America simmered on the brink of war, the Victor Talking Machine Company brought a band of five musical revolutionaries from New Orleans into its new recording studio at 46 West 38th Street in Manhattan (New York City). The musicians called themselves The Original Dixieland

“Jass” Band, and they played an exciting, fiery kind of music that was unlike anything else on record at that time, and which the New York public had not heard before. On that historic day, The Original Dixieland “Jass” Band made what would become the first jazz phonograph record!

On October 11, one hundred years later, Dan Levinson’s Roof Garden “Jass” Band

will showcase At the “Jass” Band Ball: A Centennial Celebration of Recorded Jazz taking audience members back to that historic moment in time and delighting senses with those very same sounds that exalted a war-weary nation and propelled it into a wild, hypnotic frenzy.

Great Adventure Holds Auditions For The Undead

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Wanted: people who will limp, slither and eat brains in dark scary places at a noted New Jersey theme park.

Well, the eating of brains is probably stretching it a bit, though.

Six Flags Great Adventure recently held a round of auditions for the undead in preparation for its an nual Fr ight

Fest program which takes place each autumn and provides scary hayrides, perfor mances and attractions at the theme park.

It was a dark and scary night, tailor made for zombie auditions. Amid the gray sky, rain and thunder outside, five people ranging in age, background and residency auditioned inside the park’s

employment training center. They provided their best scream and creepy walk for the chance to be hired as a zombie.

Entertainment supervisor Alex Volper asked each candidate to step up and give their best scream, a demonstration of how they might fall down and die, how they would walk around patrons of the park and to showcase a unique skill

they had.

“No one under 16 can audition for this though we do hire people younger for other park positions,” Volper said.

Robbie Zumsteg, entertainment manager at the park, said about 250 performers would be needed to fill various slots for this year’s Fright Fest program.

“We have 50 from last year. The usual day for a zombie performer is 3 p.m. to midnight after they are made up which takes about a half hour depending on their character. We have 11 make-up artists on hand to do that. It can be a pretty long day for our performers.”

Zumsteg headed a panel of staff who interviewed the candidates of the undead during the process. While staff members were reluctant to provide specifics on the pay range for zombies, they did say that it starts at minimum wage and is based on exper ience. Separate f rom those auditioned as zombies, Zumsteg said a dozen dancers were being hired for the Deadman’s Dance Show this year.

Emily Ingenito, 18, of Staten Island, New York, literally bent over backwards to get the job during her audition. She and her fellow candidates were asked to demonstrate her special ability as a Fright Fest performer. She showed she could bend her back nearly to the floor, a skill that could prove handy as a zombie.

The distance factor didn’t bother her, either.

“It only took me about an hour to get here from where I live, given traffic. I think this will be fun. I’ve always wanted to do this,” Ingenito said.

Angela Daurie, 29, of Kenilworth, works as an administrative assistant at a school but said, “A part time job for the season would be a lot of fun. I love to do costuming and play with makeup and special effects so I thought this would be a great way to meld those hobbies.”

“I’m actually more of a Star Trek, Star Wars kind of gal so branching out into horror should be a fun opportunity,” Daurie added.

John Cooper, 38, of Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania came out to the park with his wife Christine who had suggested they both audition.

“I love horror. I love it to death. I’ve always wanted to do Fright Fest. My wife wanted to do this. My favorite movie of all time is Stephen King’s “It” featuring a killer clown and I can’t wait to go see the new version of it...I may have to watch it with eyes closed,” Cooper said.

Six Flags Great Adventure Public Relations Supervisor Kaitlyn Pitts said Fright Fest started in 1992 and has been very popular over the years with different themes and new programs offered each autumn. Pitts said all five applicants who auditioned that night were hired.

“We have clowns, we have zombies, we have some new secrets coming up for 2017,” Pitts said. The park’s new website sixf lags.com/greatadventure/ special-events/fright-fest-night went live on August 21 and features details of this season’s new attractions.

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).

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of september 23 - september 29

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The cosmic seas can change swiftly in the week ahead. Dealing with unpredictable people and situations might make even you seasick. Avoid taking shortcuts that might be deemed less than ethical.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Some people merely muddle through on good looks and mere luck. Contracts and agreements could contain numerous errors so postpone signing important documents. In the week ahead focus on being creative.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You could be brave when caution is a better tactic. It is best to avoid making key changes or crucial decisions until the end of the week when your judgment is better.

Remain patient until conditions improve.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Step nimbly around nagging doubts. You may find yourself swimming against the currents if you pursue a fantasy in the week ahead. It is best to tread water and not choose a definite direction until late in the week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t jump the gun.

Emotional upsets could provoke you or cause you to take an action that will be regretted later. In the week ahead relationship problems need to be handled with care to avoid a break or rupture.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Guard against saying things that will alienate others in the week ahead. Push star 67 to block your number when you feel an uncontrollable urge to speak your mind.

Avoid melodrama and stick to a logical script.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Teamwork may work well until team members are replaced. If

there is a problem at work or on the job ask for advice from a partner or loved one. In the week to come be sure to appear well-groomed in public venues.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Plan out a reasonable schedule as your sense of purpose may waver or energy could falter as this week unfolds. Your work may be held up to scrutiny or you could be called on the carpet to defend it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may need to fend off unnecessary accusations if you engage in speculation. In the week to come it will be wise to maintain a low profile and avoid giving offense. Focus on honoring obligations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The more you do the more is expected. A quota may need to be filled or a high water mark reached, but you have the grit to meet the requirements.

Don’t be distracted by romantic urges until the end of the week.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Anticipate the need to handle upcoming bills and obligations this week. You may need to restrain a partner from spending too freely. Financial incentives may act as carrots that drive you to do your best.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Hold your horses. Avoid giving in to your impulses as you may find yourself in a runaway situation.

In the upcoming week your best bet is to demonstrate your trustworthiness and to be a true blue and loyal friend.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Food Fusion: Asian Flavors And Western Cooking Techniques Join Forces

By Wolfgang Puck T E R I YA K I - G L A Z E D S E A S C A L L O P S WITH WASABI MASHED POTATOES Serves 4 For the wasabi mashed potatoes: 1 pound organic baking potatoes, such as russets, peeled 2 large cloves garlic, peeled Kosher salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1/4 cup (60 mL) heavy cream, heated 1/2 pound (250 g) baby spinach leaves, rinsed and drained, large stems removed 1 1/2 teaspoons wasabi powder Freshly ground white pepper For the teriyaki-glazed sea scallops: 1 pound (500 g) fresh sea scallops, tough connective tissue at their sides peeled off and discarded Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon peanut oil 1/2 cup (125 mL) sake 1/2 cup (125 mL) soy sauce 2 tablespoons minced ginger 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 cup (125 mL) honey 3 tablespoons bottled barbecue sauce 2 tablespoons minced scallions First, prepare the wasabi mashed potatoes: Cut the potatoes into large pieces of equal size. Put them in a medium-sized pot, with the

garlic cloves, add enough cold water to cover, season well with salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.

Cook the potatoes until tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork or skewer, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain thoroughly and return with the garlic cloves to the still-hot pot over very low heat for a few minutes to evaporate excess moisture.

Pass the potatoes and garlic through a ricer or a food mill back into the pot. With a wooden spoon, briskly stir in the butter and hot cream.

Meanwhile, in a clean pot, bring water to a boil; place a mixing bowl filled with ice cubes and water nearby. Add the spinach to the pot, immersing it for 10 seconds; then, drain the spinach and immediately plunge it into the ice water. Drain thoroughly, squeezing out excess liquid from the leaves. Place the spinach in a food processor with the wasabi powder. Pulse until finely chopped; then, continue processing until pureed, stopping as needed to scrape down the side of the work bowl.

Stir the spinach-wasabi puree into the warm mashed potatoes.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

For the teriyaki-glazed scallops, cut each scallop in half horizontally to make 2 round pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil and sear the scallops for 15 to 30 seconds on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside. Pour off and discard any excess oil from the pan. Away from the stove, carefully add the sake; then stir and scrape to deglaze the pan deposits.

Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey and barbecue sauce, and bring to a boil; then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until thickened.

Return the scallops to the pan; stir and turn them in the sauce to coat and heat them through. Remove from the heat.

Serve immediately, mounding the mashed potatoes on heated plates and spooning the scallops over and around them. Garnish with scallions.
