It’s A Scholarship Program
By Sara Grillo Maybe you remember the scene from the movie Miss Congeniality where Candice Bergen, who plays the Miss United States pageant director, tells the cop that it’s not a beauty pageant, “It’s a scholarship program.” Well, it is. Until two years ago, Ocean County was not represented in either the Miss New Jersey pageant held in Ocean City for nearly three decades, or the Miss New Jersey’s Outstanding Teen pageant, which started up about 10 years ago. Directors Geralyn and Chuck Watson have the sinking feeling that people don’t know the pageant has come back to the county, and that young women and teens have no idea how much money could be up for grabs to help finance their college education or pay off their student loans. For the past two years, the competition has been an open one, meaning girls from anywhere in the state were allowed to compete. This year, the hope is to crown a Miss Ocean County from within the state’s sixth (Beauty - See Page 4)

Council Updates On Library, Water Tower, Affordable Housing
By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Although the Manchester Library is only one of 21 branches in the Ocean County Library System, it’s considered one of the largest, according to librarian Erin DeLucia. Over 18,000 readers in Manchester have library cards, and in 2016, the library had nearly 190,000 visitors. “I am going to say we had the highest children’s numbers throughout the summer,” said DeLucia of
the kids’ summer reading program. She said that 939 kids were signed up for summer reading, and 605 kids read at least 5 books. Many people might not know that Manchester Library also has an adult summer reading program that offers prizes, which 276 adults took advantage of this summer. “We are used quite a bit,” said DeLucia, who said that over 2,000 people showed up for 52 unique programs this summer.

Three New Vikings Lead OCC Teams
By Chris Christopher It’s an often used saying. “You can’t tell the players without a scorecard.” At Ocean County College, the motto could be, “You can’t tell the coaches without a scorecard.” There are three new coaches, including one who leads two teams. The Vikings’ head women’s soccer coach is Jennifer Ritter. Coaching their men’s and women’s cross country team is former Barnegat High School, OCC
and Monmouth University standout Jen Nelson. At the helm of the men’s basketball team is Patrick Boylan, a Brick Township native. Ritter Returns To College Coaching Ritter, an assistant women’s soccer coach at Lafayette College in 2000 and 2001, is happy to return to the college level. “I feel like I am whole again,” she said. “I missed coaching at the college level. This job opened up and I can still teach and coach (Ritter teaches health and physical education (Teams - See Page 26)
By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Two new performing arts electives are coming to Manchester Township Middle School, along with a Genius Hour Lab. MTMS Principal Nancy Driber and Vice Principal Steven Ninivaggi talked about the new courses at a recent Board of Education meeting, explaining that the reason behind the new electives is to give students who are not interested in joining band or chorus other options to appreciate music and the arts. Contemporary Music, which was a course in the district a few years ago, has been brought back and revised. It will be a very hands-on course that introduces students to different music styles that they can research and study. They will also create, edit and record their own songs using music editing software. A Drama/Theatre Arts course is brand new and will be a performance-based acting class where students (Courses - See Page 5)

Continued From Page 1 most populous county. At a time when it’s estimated that nearly 44 million Americans owe over $1.45 trillion in student loan debt, the word scholarship goes a long way. Through support from the local Ocean County community, the Watsons hope to be able to give away more money to contestants. The county pageant is also a window to the larger Miss New Jersey and Miss America competitions, which have more established sponsorships. Last year alone, the Miss America Organization said it gave away millions in cash, scholarship assistance and tuition waivers. Although it began with a group of Atlantic City businessmen as a way to prolong the summer tourism season, the nonprofit has grown to become one of the nation’s leading advocates for women’s education and the largest provider of scholarship support to young women in the country. “It’s not the pageant of yesterday,” said Geralyn Watson, who goes by Geri. Bright Women, Bright Futures North Dakota’s Cara Mund was crowned as Miss America 2018 in this year’s competition on September 9. Yes, there were gowns, swimsuits even. But Mund is also an Honors Graduate from Brown University and plans to enter law school when her year-long campaigning as Miss
America and for Children’s Miracle Network is up. She even hopes to become the first woman-elected governor of North Dakota. The current Miss Ocean County, Olivia Suarez, is also a scholar. She graduated from Widener University in Pennsylvania with a degree focused in business management and hospitality and now works at Harrah’s Philadelphia, where she began as an intern three years ago. She now manages a restaurant and a Starbucks, and also juggles some parttime work in graphic design and makes promotional videos for artists who come to town, such as Iggy Azalea. She loves her job, of course, and can still see her old college stomping grounds from the Harrah’s parking deck. Olivia has been volunteering since the age of 4 and said she got involved with Miss America because she wanted to volunteer, not because she wanted to be in a pageant. She was the first girl in New Jersey to take her volunteering platform international by traveling to Honduras to work with underprivileged youth – working on projects to build a library, water well and kitchen so kids there could have clean food and drinking water. “It’s sad to see,” she said, adding that many people who live there are malnourished and have very different sanitation standards than we do. She also started a birthday book program there, which she said was the platform of former Miss New Jersey Cara
Olivia said it really is a sisterhood. She has competed in the Miss New Jersey pageant four times so far, and keeps in touch with girls at both the county and state level. Although she will be aging out of this year’s Miss Ocean County competition, local teens and young women are invited to take the stage at the Surflight Theatre on Long Beach Island, which was generously offered as a venue for the November 5 Miss Ocean County Outstanding Teen pageant and December 3 Miss Ocean County pageant. Through working with the American Legion, the first-ever Miss Veterans Day and Miss Veterans Day’s Outstanding Teen pageants will also be held. Those two competitions will still be open to girls and young women outside of Ocean County. Orientations will be held at 1:30 p.m. at the Starlight Dance Studio in Manahawkin on Sunday, October 15 for Miss Ocean County Outstanding Teen and Miss Veteran’s Day Outstanding Teen, and on Sunday, November 12 for Miss Ocean County and Miss Veteran’s Day. To become a contestant, please contact 732-998-0052 or missoceancounty@ gmail.com or PO Box 283, Forked River, NJ 08731. Local businesses should also reach out for information on how their financial assistance can help provide scholarships, or in regards to purchasing advertising in the pageant program book.
Taking The Stage So what are pageants really like? There are a lot less rules than you think, at least at the county level. Besides age, that is. For Miss Ocean County Outstanding Teen, it’s 13 to 17 years without being a graduating senior. For Miss Ocean County, it’s 17 to 24 years without turning the age of 25 before December 31, 2018. Olivia’s evening gown, which was a one-shouldered vision in white, came from her own creative mind. She likes designing, so she often creates the designs for her dresses. “You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to get a gown and it shouldn’t be financially hard on a family,” said Suarez. Geri and Olivia said it’s nice to see girls come out of their shells during the pageant process as they figure out what’s working and what’s not working, and tweak things like changing their outfit, or deciding to get healthier. Fortunately, the claws do not come out, as girls help each other and work with each other behind the scenes, especially during the teen pageant, which is more about mentoring and getting girls ready for college.

Continued From Page 1 Renovations there started a couple weeks ago, and although the library won’t get any bigger, the meeting room will increase in size and you’ll see fresh carpets and paint. Departments within the library will be shifted around as well. There’s no word yet whether any closures are needed, but the work should be completed before next summer. How Much Does A Water Tower Cost? Councilman Charles Frattini shared some insight that has no doubt been on everyone’s mind when it comes to the water tower by Town Hall, which the township began repainting during the month of September. “People in my village where the tower is situated have been asking me these questions,” said Frattini, who in turn asked business administrator Donna Markulic to do some research. So how much would it cost to build a new water tower? According to Frattini, an estimated $3.5 million, compared to the $1.5 million in bonds that was set aside to paint

Both electives will be offered to sixth, seventh and eighth grade students in the fourth marking period. Genius Hour Lab is a student-driven learning initiative that’s becoming popular in area schools. It was funded through the help of a $15,000 grant from the Manchester Township Educational Foundation. “Genius Hour is something that is based on the Google 20 percent rule that they allow their employees 20 percent of their time to follow passion projects and interests,” said Ninivaggi. Once students choose a topic they are passionate about, they come up with a driving question, research it, refi ne it and
The Manchester Times, September 30, 2017, Page 5 the water tower that was visibly rusted. He also noted that it would take 8 to 10 months to build a new tower, as opposed to the 12 weeks it takes to repaint it. Affordable Housing Council President Samuel Fusaro also shared some good news on the affordable housing front after Manchester submitted its affordable housing plan to the state. “The courts ruled that our plan was sufficient and what that does for the township is it limits the ability for developers to basically go to the courts and say we want to build a development of this size to provide affordable housing.” Fusaro added that back in the early 2000s, specifically 2004, the township had about six builders’ remedy lawsuits and were faced with building 4,000 to 5,000 new homes. Because of the economic downturn, fortunately very few of them were actually built. Without putting an affordable housing plan in place, townships can be forced to build housing they are not in favor of, so Manchester should not see that happen for the next few years.
turn it into a project that includes weekly blogging, even vlogging – video blogging – of their progress. It all culminates in a classroom presentation where their project is showcased and their grade is dependent on their process, not on success or failure. Ninivaggi said it opens up a world of opportunities for students. “It’s about motivating students to want to learn, to really enjoy school, and to enjoy this idea of independent learning.” Fourth and fifth grade students at nearby Howell Township’s Newbury Elementary School explored what passion meant to them in their Genius Hour Lab last spring, exploring everything from gymnastics demonstrations, to splatter paint tutorials, to how to build a computer. The Genius Hour Lab will begin as a pilot program with social studies and science teachers, who will train once a month beginning in October. Students are expected to start the program in January.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Columbus Enslaved Natives, Don’t Honor Him With A Holiday I think it’s about time we stop celebrating Columbus Day with marche s d ow n m a i n s t r e e t U.S.A. every October. As any grade schooler will tell you, Columbus didn’t discover America. What Columbus did discover when he finally came ashore, were a culturally rich and diverse people. He would w r it e i n h is jou r n a l: “They are the best people…and the gentlest,” then noted; “They will make f ine ser vants… with 50 men we could s u bj u g a t e t h e m a l l .” True to his word, Colu mbu s enslaved 50 0 men, women and children and shipped them off to Spain, many being auctioned off like cattle upon their arrival. Should a man responsible for the murder of i n no c e nt p e o ple, t he raping of women and the systematic destruction of a c u lt u r e b e hon ored with a special day?
Should we ennoble and pay tribute to a man who h el p e d “ i nt e r n a t io n alize” the slave trade each fall? Concerning the recent Confederate statue/slaver y issue, the Asbur y Park Press in an editorial, “Don’t Consecrate Con federacy” opi ned that these statues represent an affirmation of slavery and should not be com memorated or be allowed to remain in any public square. Should n’t the same logic and opinion expre sse d by t he P re ss with respect to the Confe d e r at e s t at ue /sl ave question, be applied to Columbus and for the same reason? From my perspective, freedom loving Americans should not set aside a day to honor and celebrate a slave trader and murderer, regardless of his supposed discovery. Borden Applegate Jackson

The Choice For Brick Mayor Is Easy I may be a Republican, but I voted for Democrat John Ducey for Brick Mayor 4 years ago, and I’m planning to vote for him again. I voted for him the first time because I like what he said – he talked about getting taxes under control, reducing the size of government, and getting rid of patronage employees who got their jobs because of who they know, not what they know. He sounded like a fiscal conservative, and that’s how he has governed. This year, the choice for Brick Mayor is easy. Mayor Ducey did just what he said he would do. He cut spending, got rid of the political hacks, and he reduced Brick’s debt by $17 million. That’s why he was able to reduce municipal taxes this year. I’m voting for John Ducey and his team and you should too. Bruce Marshall Brick

Pro-Trump Rally Remembers History Incorrectly A spring pro-Trump rally in Seaside Heights was a real eye opener. It showed just how misguided and uninformed some people can be. According to that article the time and place was kept secret by rally organizers in an effort to keep protesters away. It appears these supposedly constitution-loving patriots have no problem with suppressing the free speech of those who don’t share their world view. Of course suppressing opposing voices shows weakness rather than strength. It shows uncertainty about whether the vague promises and angry Trump rhetoric can withstand the challenge of critical assessment and the test of scrutiny. Especially baffling were the comments of a gubernatorial candidate who hoped Trump could take the country back to a time 50 years ago when opportunities were equitable for all. Like many Trump
through rose colored glasses and the world of today as in disarray for which they blame liberals in general and President Obama specifically. But let’s take a look back 50 years. Far from the golden age he suggests 1967 was a time of turmoil and unrest. Citizens were polarized on a divisive war and rallies to both support and oppose continued involvement in Vietnam were common. Racial tensions were high and riots broke out in cities across the country for, ironically, lack of equitable opportunities for all citizens. We were reeling in the wake of two political assassinations and soon to suffer two more. It was a time of great social upheaval with forces committed to change at constant odds with those opposed to it. Hardly the time of harmony and stability the candidate’s words imply. Of course this inaccurate look back is nothing new to conservatives who view the Reagan years as halcyon days for America. Somehow they forget the Iran-Contra Affair, the Savings and Loan Crisis brought on by his “laissez-faire” economics, the double digit interest rates faced by new mortgage holders and other less than ideal circumstances that were also part of Reagan’s legacy. Should the candidate still choose to see those times as better, it bears noting that 50 years ago our president was Lyndon Johnson, one of the most liberal leaders in recent history. Ironic considering the vitriol directed at liberals by Trump supporters. It has been wisely said that those who do not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it. Perhaps what these would-be patriots need is to see the past for what it was, remarkably similar to the world of today. It would also help to remember history in an accurate manner before using it as a point of reference in the political debate. Bill Pane Farmingdale

MANCHESTER – Officers from the Manchester Township Police Department and Mayor Kenneth Palmer assisted with the bagging of groceries this week to “Help Bag Hunger” as part of a month-long hunger awareness campaign at the Manchester ShopRite. September is “National Hunger Action Month,” a time when organizations and businesses across the country are doing their part to help fight hunger in their communities. When ShopRite asked the Manchester Township Police Department for assistance with their event on September 20, Chief Lisa Parker was eager to have her officers participate. “Hunger is a very important issue, even in
Manchester Township. Too many families, including our neighbors, go hungry each day,” said Chief Parker. “I’m glad that we were able to partner with Shop-Rite to help raise awareness of those in need.” Manchester Police Officers who participated were Cpl. Doug Higgins, Ptl. John Decker, Ptl. Michael Terranova, Ptl. Gavin Reilly, Ptl. Brian Collins, Sgt. Bryan Vidovich, Sgt. Sal Ventre and Ptl. Thomas Dill. The Manchester Township Police Department has a long history of outreach and is always looking for ways to help our community, participating in several fundraisers and civic activities each year.

WWII vet Frank McCloud travels to a run-down hotel on Key Largo to honor the memory of a friend in his unit who died. His friend’s widow, Nora Temple and wheelchair bound father, James Temple manage the hotel and receive him warmly. However, the three of them soon find themselves virtual prisoners when the hotel is taken over by a mob of gangsters led by Johnny Rocco who hole up there to await the passing of a hurricane. Mr. Temple strongly reviles Rocco but due to his infirmities can only confront him verbally. Having become disillusioned by the violence of war, Frank is reluctant to act, but Rocco’s demeaning treatment of his alcoholic moll,
Gaye Dawn, and his complicity in the deaths of some innocent Seminole Indians and a deputy sheriff start to motivate McCloud to overcome his Hamlet-like inaction. The cast includes: Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, and Lauren Bacall. This action/ crime/drama film is 100 minutes long and is not rated. No registration.

Possible Prevention Of Hearing Loss Through Better Nutrition
Research seems to confirm a relationship between a healthy cardiovascular system and hearing health. As most of you know, optimal nutrition should be based around “whole foods” - fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts, vegetable juices and virgin olive oil. The jury is still out in regard to meat and dairy products, but it is quite clear that meats in general should be free of hormones and antibiotics. “Dead” foods (anything preheated, refined/processed), all processed vegetable oils, margarine, genetically modified products and aspartame (Equal, Nutrasweet) should also be avoided, particularly if microwaving. Although I am not a nutritionist, nutritional supplements are probably appropriate for most people. Even though supplements alone cannot provide a complete range of micronutrients that our bodies need to function optimally, they are necessary to counteract basic nutritional deficiencies
due to poor eating habits, to treat current health problems, to enhance the immune system and to counteract any nutritional losses due to prescription medications. Possible supplements might include Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B Complex, Folic Acid, Magnesium, Zinc, Ginkgo Biloba, garlic and fish oil. Other substances such as coenzyme Q10, DHEA, Melatonin and Alpha-Lipoic Acid might be appropriate also. Regular exercise is vital for both cardiovascular fitness and better hearing health. Research clearly confirms that if we eat right and exercise daily, our overall health will be improved. Although prevention of hearing loss as a function of aging cannot be completely stopped, there are certainly ways to “slow down” the process. The combination of a nutritionally optimal diet, exercise and appropriate hearing aids will lead to a more active lifestyle and improve quality of life.
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!
Local Heart Disease Survivor Shares Story Ahead Of Shoreline Heart Walk
ASBURY PARK – “I had no symptoms whatsoever. I felt no chest pain, and was fit and healthy. It was like someone hit me on the side of the head with a 2x4 when I found out,” sextuplet bypass survivor Howard Schoor shares his story this year as the Survivor Ambassador for the 2017 Shoreline Heart Walk. Howard Schoor, 78 years young, of Asbury Park never expected to battle heart disease. Although his father had a valve replacement at age 88, Schoor had no other family history of heart disease. Despite this, he had a nuclear stress test done every five years, just to be sure. In October of last year, his test showed some irregularities and his cardiologist requested a catherization. In mid-December, Schoor underwent the catherization as planned, “expecting the worst-case scenario would be a stent or two.” But afterwards, he received the news that he would need bypass surgery to open six arteries in his heart. On January 24, Schoor received sextuple bypass surgery by Dr. Craig R. Smith, a leading cardiovascular surgeon and an American Heart Association Board Mem-
ber. The good news was that his recovery went smoothly and now he’s back to what he really loves doing: making retirement busy with painting, philanthropy and overseeing several businesses. Many people take for granted that they can take a walk with little trouble. For others, taking a walk means more than just lacing up your sneakers and hitting the streets – it means life. “Nothing has really changed since my bypass surgery, but I do try to eat more fruits and veggies, and I walk the boardwalk every day,” continued Schoor. “I’m asking my friends and family to please join my team ‘Howard Schoor Art’ and walk with us on Sunday, October 1st along the same path I’ve taken for my recovery since my sextuple bypass.” Schoor will be sharing his story along with two other local heart disease and stroke survivors at the American Heart Association Shoreline Heart Walk on Sunday, October 1 at 9 a.m. at Bradley Park across from Convention Hall at the Asbury Park Boardwalk. To learn how you can join Howard at the American Heart Association Shoreline Heart Walk, visit shorelineheartwalk.org, call 609-223-3711 or email lena.siddiqi@ heart.org.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Reality Check – Do B Vitamins Cause Cancer? By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. There was a new study published in August 2017 in Journal of Clinical Oncology regarding B vitamins and it has produced some uneasiness. B Complex is thought to boost energy reserve, support metabolism and adrenal function and protect your nerves from fraying. The August study suggests that two B vitamins from the whole “B Complex” family are potentially harmful, but let’s take a closer look before we hang B6 and B12: The study was conducted in men who smoke. These scary findings don’t even apply to non-smoking men or women. The researchers tried to level the playing field. They asked questions to each participant about their smoking history, body size, alcohol use, history of cancer and use of anti-inflammatory medications. How many questionnaires have you filled out in your life and underestimated your weight, or smoking and drinking habits? The dietary supplements taken were more than likely synthetic and/or not biologically active because that’s what’s sold in 99 percent of dietary supplements. You may not realize this but Vitamin B6 as “pyridoxine” is not even biologically active when you take it. Vitamin B12 sold as “cyanocobalamin” isn’t biologically active either, not until it breaks down in your body. It begs the question, “Do you think taking synthetic or inactive chemicals while inhaling toxic nicotine will promote your health?” Nicotine and related compounds are known to be carcinogenic. It doesn’t mat-
ter a whole lot what else you’re doing to promote health if you continue to smoke. It’s best to eat green leafy vegetables and lean meats to get B6 and B12 respectively. But if you are going to take a dietary supplement take the biologically active (body-ready) forms of nutrients. For example, Methylcobalamin is the cell-loving form of B12. And Adenosylcobalamin (adeno B12) is the mito-loving form of B12 and both of those are more biologically active in the body than synthesized Cyanocobalamin. Folic acid is synthetic, whereas Methylfolate (5-MTHF) is natural and you can get this from eating salads and sautéed greens. It’s the methylated form of folate which is biologically active and understood by the body, especially your methylation cycle. This is all confusing, isn’t it. In summary: Don’t trust headlines, they are intended to be sensational in order to get you to read! Don’t trust the interpretation of scientists who use synthetic, potentially harmful compounds in their studies. B6 and B12 sold in most dietary supplements are unfortunately synthetic, and could essentially be useless, or harmful. Buy high-quality vitamins or don’t buy them at all. Don’t smoke, it will hasten your demise even if you’re taking a multivitamin or a high-quality B Complex. Smoking is a ‘drug mugger’ of Vitamin C. So if you are trying to improve your health (while chewing or smoking) then take a high quality C, or eat citrus fruits. That is more of a ‘friend’ to your body than a B vitamin.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Thanks, For Nothing! Dear Joel, Recently, a client gave me a several small figurines as a gift. They were chipped and missing some paint. I graciously said “thank you” while trying to hide my displeasure, but why would someone give anyone such an awful gift? Wouldn’t it be better not to give a gift at all? Gift Challenged in Brick Dear Challenged, Wow, that must have been a hard thank you for you to say. The worst part is you can’t even re-gift them. Did the figurines have some significance? Did they fit into something you collected or were they special to her? Perhaps antiques? If they weren’t, and it sounds like they weren’t, then you are right to be displeased. A gift should celebrate the recipient. I’ll admit some people are much better at choosing gifts. My wife has great
taste and always f inds a wo n d e r f u l item. I stick closer to the traditional, often sending f lowers to wish someone well, but cleaning out the closet is no way to show respect. You could just put them in the trash and try not to take it as a snub, or you might just want to return them to her, saying they just don’t fit your décor and maybe someone else might appreciate them more. As we move closer to the holiday season, I would suggest our readers take a little more time than this person to choose a gift, or take the easy path and put a little cash in an envelope. That gift is always appreciated. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

Continued From Page 1 at Point Pleasant Borough High School). I really wanted to get back into college coaching again. I really enjoyed my first experience. I am confident I can do this. I have made a real good decision.” Ritter fi nds recruiting more relaxed at OCC than it was at Lafayette. “It is different,” she said. “At Lafayette, it was a little more intense because it is an NCAA Division I program. I had to constantly travel, see the players and go to tournaments. Here, it is more word of mouth. I have been reaching out to the area’s high school coaches. I want to build an atmosphere where this is a comfortable place to play. “I want players who genuinely love to play soccer. Soccer is a passion of mine. I am looking for players who are passionate and are willing to work hard.” The team’s captains are Leena Keghlian, a sophomore midfielder from Toms River East; sophomore defender Allison Krebs, a Brick Township graduate, and Brielle Morella, a sophomore midfielder who resides in the Whiting section of Manchester Township and played at Delsea Regional. Ritter chose each captain. Keghlian banged home two goals in a win over Nassau County Community College. “She is a natural born leader on the field,” Ritter said. “She takes control of the game and makes some really good plays happen. She makes something out of nothing. She is very good at creating scoring opportunities. She has a good way of carrying the ball and taking the chance when she sees an opportunity. She always wants the ball at her feet.” Krebs leads the defense. “She is the silent leader,” Ritter said. “She does not have to say much. She outworks everyone. A lot of her teammates want to be like her. She wants to try new things. She has a great way of listening, taking things in and adapting.” Morella played Division II soccer at Davis and Elkins in West Virginia as a freshman before becoming a member of the United States Navy for two years. “She constantly talks,” Ritter said. “She constantly directs and she is like having a coach on the field. She sees things happening and anticipates things happening.

She is a Godsend. She works and works and works. She plays in the middle and is involved in every single play.” Other players on the team are freshman keeper Fiona Borrelli (East), freshman midfielder Emily Molitor (Central Regional), sophomore midfielder Rosa Maria Galindo-Avila (Lakewood), sophomore midfielder Crystal Caruso (Toms River South), sophomore forward Lexi Urban (Southern Regional), freshman defender Kristyn Adams (Island Heights, Bordentown Regional), freshman midfielder Crystal Guthrie (East), sophomore forward Danielle Harter (Point Pleasant Borough), freshman midfielder Alexis Novotny (Jackson Liberty), sophomore forward Maria Rojas (Jackson Memorial), sophomore midfielder Robin Fiorentino (Point Pleasant Boro), freshman defender Genna Palumbo (Berkeley Township, Woodbridge), sophomore defender Allison Oberg (Toms River, Cherokee), freshman midfielder Jenna Andujar (Point Pleasant Borough) and freshman defender Alexandria Brow (Brick Township). “I would like all of our players to be big scorers,” said Ritter, assisted by former Georgian Court University player Tori Capestro. “It’s just a matter of them coming into their own and believing in themselves. I want to see us build the ball out of the back and play the ball wide. I am teaching our players how to move without the ball. We want to play possession soccer for most of the time as opposed to driving the ball down the field and running after it.” Ritter is a graduate of Wayne Valley where she was an all-state player. She starred at East Stroudsburg University, setting school career records for points and assists. She helped ESU win its first Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference title in program history. She is a two-time inductee in the ESU Hall of Fame in 2008 and 2012. Ritter studied for one semester in Leeds of the United Kingdom where she played on a women’s football team. She coached Point Pleasant Borough to an NJSIAA sectional title. She coaches an under-12 travel team in the Brick Township Soccer Club.

Continued From Page 26 some of her knowledge to her teams, watch out. A member of Barnegat High School’s fi rst graduating class, she competed in soccer and indoor and outdoor track for the Bengals. She attended OCC for two years in the New Jersey Stars program and was a member of the Vikings’ 2009 National Junior College Athletic Association Division III championship team in women’s cross country under then-coach Ed Baynes, the former South distance standout she replaced as the Vikings’ men’s and women’s coach. Nelson won All-America, Academic All-America and Female Athlete of the Year honors at OCC. Nelson, 27, earned a scholarship to Monmouth University where she starred in cross country and track, competing in the 5,000 and 10,000-meter runs. She graduated with school records in the 5,000 and 10,000 and won numerous athletic and academic honors. She graduated in 2012 with a bachelor of science degree in biology with a concentration in molecular cell physiology and dual minors in chemistry and health studies. Nelson earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2015 from Stockton University and served as an assistant coach in cross country for the Ospreys. She was an NJSIAA track and field official for four years and directed the Shore Athletic Club’s cross country program for five seasons. She has completed two marathons, including the Boston Marathon, and two sprint triathlons. She was inducted into the Ocean County College Hall of Fame in 2016. “I take bits and pieces from every coach I have had,” said Nelson, a physical therapist at the Kessler Institute for Rehab in Toms River. “This is my fi rst real coaching gig and it is awesome. I have been involved in track and field for so long and have always been an athlete. This role is something I have always wanted to do. Now, I am on the other side of the sport instead of being a competitor and it is so interesting to have that different perspective. It brings me back to what my coaches have done for me.” Nelson puts in long hours leading the

It’s a ton of work, but it is fun.” Which does Nelson prefer? Coaching or competing? “That’s a hard question,” she said with a laugh. “They are so different. It is hard to compare them. Competitive-wise, my philosophy was to always listen to what my coach said and do what the coach said. Now, I have taken on the responsibility of being the coach the athletes listen to.” Nelson said she feels pressure to produce winning teams. “It would be fun to come back and win the nationals as a coach,” she said. “There is a little pressure on that end. I did not get much of a chance to recruit as I was hired during the summer. I am looking for anyone who is willing to give a full effort. Entering college, I was a soccer player and did not have any experience running cross country. On a whim, I went out for cross country and did well. Coach Baynes helped me reach my full potential and I wound up going to Monmouth. “I am not even looking for someone who has running experience. I am looking for someone who is willing to work and try their best, someone who wants to reach their full potential.” Heading the men’s team is sophomore Noah Reilly, who sped to NJCAA Division III All-America honors last season. He’s a Toms River North graduate. “He has a fantastic work ethic,” Nelson said. “I can tell you he put in a ton of work during the summer. That is where the battle is, getting in the miles and the base training. A lot of kids don’t put in the work. He is ready to run fast and is so easy to coach. I can tell he has been well coached. He knows his body and his fitness level. He knows how to race.” Nelson also helps for contributions from freshman Kyle Sarno (Barnegat), sophomore Xavier Ramirez (Brick Township), sophomore Zachary Ramirez (Brick Township), freshman Grant Tokarski (Calvary Academy in Lakewood) and freshman Dylan Antonelli (Lacey). Meanwhile, Jessica Reis is the classic example of a one-woman team - because she is the lone member of the Vikings’
women’s team. The former North cross country runner and ex-Rowan University swimmer has turned to conquering hill and dale instead of ruling the waves in the wake of a shoulder injury suffered while competing for the Profs. “She trains with our men’s team and is pushed each day,” Nelson said. “It is hard for her, but when all is said and done, she is really going to benefit from it.” Baynes also coached the Vikings’ men’s team to numerous successes. “I am just excited to be coming back to where I competed,” Nelson said. “I have a ton of respect for coach Baynes and I have big shoes to fill. I am willing to take on that challenge. I am excited. I am really excited.” Boylan Promises Excitement Boylan, a former associate head men’s coach at Montgomery County College in Pennsylvania, said his Vikings will be far from boring to watch. “We’re recruiting an athletic type of player and we want to have a fast paced offense and defense,” he said. “We want intense players whose ultimate goal is to play at the NCAA level. We are looking for players who are hungry and dedicated, players who treat the sport like it is a business. I believe we’re building an exciting team that the fans are going to be proud of.” Boylan, assisted by former Toms River East player James Stockton, faces a rebuilding process as the Vikings graduated three sophomore players from last year’s team, which went 19-12 overall, including

Gone are guards Mike Golden, who starred at Brick Memorial, ex-Toms River North player Ted Thelemaque and former Neptune standout Corey Thomas. Golden, who scored more than 1,000 career points for the Vikings, now plays guard as a junior for the University of Hawaii at Hilo. Thomas, who paced OCC in scoring (20.9 points per game) and assists (5.1 per showing) is a junior guard at Warner Pacific College in Portland, Oregon. Thelemaque was third on the team in scoring at 17.8 points per game, helping OCC to an 11-4 overall home record. OCC’s returner is 6-foot-4 sophomore guard Randy Laing, an ex-South player. He averaged 4.8 points and 18.9 minutes per game as an OCC freshman, appearing in 31 games and starting 14. “We lost our three big workhorses and it will be an adjustment for us this season,” said Boylan, a former Pennsbury High School (Pa.), Bucks County College (Pa.) and Delaware Valley University player. “We will have either 10 or 11 freshmen so there will be a learning curve, but we are excited to get after it. “This is a good program that is heading in the right direction. I am happy to be hack here as I have always loved the area and the shore. It made sense to me to return here basketball wise and quality of life wise as well. OCC is a good fit for me.”

How Physical Therapy Can Calm Your Nerves About A Peripheral Nerve Injury By: Erin Sullivan, DPT, Freehold Physical Therapist WHAT IS A PERIPHERAL NERVE? Anatomically, the human nervous system is xcomprised of two main parts: the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (peripheral nerves). The peripheral nervous system arises from extensions of the spinal cord. Each nerve that extends from the spinal cord transmits motor signals from the spinal cord to the rest of the body and/or transmits sensory information from the body to the spinal cord. Think of your brain as an electric company and your spinal cord as an outlet. Your brain sends motor or sensory information to the spinal cord just as an electric company controls the electrical signals that come to your outlets. Peripheral nerves are, therefore, similar to individual wires leaving the outlet. Each wire connects to a different appliance just as each peripheral nerve connects a muscle and/or an area of the skin. For instance, the femoral nerve extends from the spinal cord and connects to the muscles which bend your hip and straighten your knee. If the femoral nerve is injured, you may be unable to bend your hip and straighten your knee. Similar to a lamp that will not turn on because it is unplugged. WILL MY NERVE INJURY HEAL? Common peripheral nerve injuries include: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome which affects the median nerve at the wrist, “Sciatica” which affects the sciatic nerve in the leg, “Foot Drop” which affects the common peroneal nerve (a branch of the sciatic nerve), and “neuropathy” which generally refers to impaired sensation from the lower leg to the foot or from the wrist to the hand. A peripheral nerve can be injured through various mechanisms like compression, crushing or cutting. The mechanism of injury is directly related to the prognosis of recovery. Compressive forces on a nerve generally result in an injury termed “nerurapraxia” and are typically reversible. The prognosis with this type of injury is considered good and recovery can occur within weeks or months. Prolonged compressive or crushing forces result in an “axonotmesis” injury where recovery
is less favorable and may require months. Lastly, “neurotmesis” is the most severe type of peripheral nerve injury and is generally due to a laceration through the nerve. The prognosis of a neurotmesis is poor. When a nerve is cut, the fibers furthest from the spinal cord slowly die off. In order for recovery to occur, the nerve must regrow from the site of the injury. This regrowth occurs at a rate of 1 mm per day. To put this in perspective, that equates to about 1 inch a month, or 1 foot a year. It is important to remain patient during this time and while full recovery is not guaranteed, it is possible. ARE MY SYMPTOMS NORMAL? A peripheral nerve injury may result in any number of symptoms. Impaired strength and sensation to the muscles and areas of the skin, which are connected by that specific nerve, are the most obvious symptoms. The next most common, and perhaps most debilitating, is nerve or “neuropathic” pain. Nerve pain is typically characterized by burning, tingling, stabbing, or abnormal sensations and can range from minor to severe. Secondary complications due to decreased sensation and motion include skin breakdown and pressure sores, atrophy or “muscle wasting”, impaired mobility (difficulty walking, standing, running), joint pain due to compensatory movement strategies, bowel and bladder abnormalities, decreased bone density, and emotional distress or depression due to the above symptoms. It is important to remember that no two nerve injuries will present the same way and that no two patients will experience the same symptoms. CAN THERAPY HELP? Physical or occupational therapy throughout the recovery process of a peripheral nerve injury is very
beneficial. It is important to prevent atrophy that may occur and to frequently reassess any improvements in strength or sensation. Physical and occupational therapists may also assist in teaching compensatory strategies to allow you to maximize your function while recovering from this injury. Assistive devices, like canes, braces, and wide gripped utensils, can make difficult tasks easier and allow you to maintain your independence. Strength gains can be made through a personalized exercise program created by your therapist and can be enhanced through use of manual resistive exercise and electric stimulation. Pain may also be managed by your therapist through modalities like, heat, ice, or electric stimulation, or through a desensitization process for hypersensitive areas. Secondary complications can also be minimized through patient education on skin care and pressure relief and therapeutic weight bearing exercises to enhance bowel/bladder function, circulation, bone density, and emotional health. ERIN SULLIVAN, DPT Erin graduated from the Richard Stockton College of NJ with her Bachelors of Science in Biology in 2011 and her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2013. Erin completed her clinical affiliations in a variety of settings, one of which was in our Toms River facility. In additional to her clinical rotation at All-Care, Erin completed affiliations in school-based pediatric, acute care, and hospital affiliated out-patient settings. Her clinical experiences dealt with post-surgical orthopedics, musculoskeletal injuries, adult neurological conditions (stroke, spinal cord injury, Guillan-Barre syndrome, and Multiple Sclerosis) and pediatric neurological conditions (Cerebral Palsy, seizure disorders, and muscular dystrophy). Erin also has experience with patients with cardiopulmonary complications and other comorbidities. Erin’s treatment approach is very hands on and focuses on keeping her patients as involved as possible during their physical therapy experience.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of september 16 - september 22
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Avoid taking action on a passing distraction. A temptation to follow misplaced sympathies could stir you this week. It is not a good idea to be taken in by those who would like to enlist you in their intrigues. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Nick negativity in the bud. You can be a realist without being a pessimist. In the week ahead you may be called upon to participate in group activities or make new contacts within the workplace environment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Turn on the low beams. You may feel somewhat mystified by a situation, or feel that others do not understand you, but this temporary fog will dissipate. In the week to come new friends could uplift your spirits. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your focus may be on hocus pocus in the week ahead. Hold onto your money if a spin doctor tries to sell you something. You may feel that someone is not being truthful or think someone is better than they are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Focus on friendliness. Relationships will run smoothly if you use your best manners in the week to come. You may be surprised to receive help from the least expected sources, but might only hear what you want to hear. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be in collusion with your own delusion. Don’t make any crucial decisions or start a new enterprise until after the middle of the week. Use keen powers of observation to avoid making a monetary mistake. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be
able to see improvements that are needed in the week ahead. At the same time you must fight off the urge to be argumentative. Set a good example rather than forcing others to accept your views. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get the best bang for your buck. In the upcoming week be creative about finding ways to ensure your long term security. Steer clear of get rich schemes. Focus on thrift, conserving resources and economical thinking. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tricks are for kids. Steer clear of tricky situations this week. You are usually alert to fraudulent people and situations but could be suckered in by a sob story or caught up in the problems of others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Some ideas may seem plausible but simply aren’t possible. In the week ahead you may be ambitious to get ahead and may easily be attracted to a get-rich scheme. Steer clear of anything that seems too good to be true. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The truth may be obscured. Don’t trust your intuitions in the week ahead when money is concerned. There may be opportunities to reflect deeply upon your dreams and to join others for inspirational discussions. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Miscommunications could cause hurt feelings. Don’t let them turn into a stumbling block as this week unfolds. Speak with a little more warmth to reassure others and show respect for your partner.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Fall Into Apple Season:Welcome Autumn With My Recipe For Individual Apple Pies By Wolfgang Puck We’re just days away from the beginning of autumn on the calendar. (Even though the warm days of Indian summer that arrive with it and often stay through October can sometimes make us feel like the season hasn’t changed yet.) Still, I don’t usually rely on the calendar or the weather to tell me what season it is. One stroll through the farmers’ market, and I know that fall is here. Apples are beginning to fill the stalls. And that means my chefs and I start thinking about all the many delicious ways we’re going to use the signature fruit of the season. I like to feature apples in every course of the meal. They’re delicious in salads, whether shredded with cabbage in a slaw or cut into bite-sized pieces and tossed with spinach and crumbled blue cheese. I also like to saute apples as an enhancement to other savory dishes, using them to garnish butternut squash soup, for example, or serving them alongside pork chops. Of course, I can never resist using apples in desserts. I love baked apples, and I also include the fruit in all kinds of cobblers, crisps, cakes and bread puddings. My favorite recipe of all, however, is apple pie. To me, that dessert captures the very essence of autumn apples: sweet and tart, crisp and tender, earthy and deliciously perfumed. My chefs and I will be making all sorts of pies over the next three months, culminating with my traditional Christmas apple pies abounding in dried fruits and sweet spices. At the start of the season, however, I like something simpler; a recipe that captures the essence of the fruit at its finest. My individual apple pies, as we served them for many years at my flagship Spago restaurant in Beverly Hills. As you’ll see from the recipe, the apples themselves are definitely the stars here, highlighted in the filling only by butter, caramelized sugar, and the smallest splash (just 1/2 tablespoon per serving) of Calvados or cognac. (If you can’t resist, you could also add a touch of ground cinnamon.) For the crust that lines individual tartlet tins or flan rings (which you can find in any wellstocked kitchenware shop), I use my easy sugar dough recipe, a version of a classic pie crust. But, to top each pie, I prefer lighter, flakier puff pastry, easily found in the freezer case of supermarkets, which lets the flavor and texture of the apples beneath really shine.

Sugar dough (recipe follows) 8 small cooking apples, such as Pippin, Granny Smith or Golden Delicious 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 4 tablespoons Calvados or cognac 1/2 pound (250 g) store-bought frozen puff pastry, thawed following package instructions 1 cage-free egg beaten lightly with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Prepare the sugar dough. Divide it into 2 equal pieces and, on a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each piece into an 11-inch (27.5-cm) square. Place on a parchment paper-lined tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes. On 1 or 2 baking sheets, place 8 individual tartlet tins or flan rings measuring 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter by 1/2 inch (12 mm) high. Using a 5-inch (12.5-cm) diameter plate as a guide, cut out 8 circles of the dough and fit them into the tins or rings, trimming away any excess dough. Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator to chill the pastry. Core and peel the apples, and cut into slices 1/4inch (6-mm) thick. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter. Add the apples and sprinkle with the sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar caramelizes slightly but the apples remain slightly crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Very carefully pour the Calvados or cognac over the apples, and let the alcohol cook off for a few seconds. Remove from the heat and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the puff pastry to a 1/8-inch (3-mm) thickness. With a 4-inch (10-cm) cookie cutter, cut out 8 circles, gathering and rerolling the scraps if necessary. With the tip of a small, sharp knife, score a design in the centers of the puff pastry circles, taking care not to cut all the way through. Refrigerate until needed. Divide the cooled cooked apples among the tart shells. Divide the remaining butter among the centers of the tarts. Top with puff pastry circles, leaving the sides unsealed. Brush the top of each pie with a bit of egg wash before putting the pies in the oven. Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving. With a spatula, transfer each pie to an individual serving plate. Remove the tins or rings, if necessary using the tip of a small, sharp knife to separate the pastry. Place a scoop of ice cream on the side. Serve immediately. SUGAR DOUGH Makes about 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) 2 1/3 cups (585 mL) cake flour or pastry flour 1/3 cup (85 mL) granulated sugar 1/2 pound (250 g) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces 2 large cage-free egg yolks 1 or 2 tablespoons heavy cream In a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, combine the flour and sugar. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles fine meal. In a small bowl, whisk together the yolks and 1 tablespoon of the cream. Scrape into the machine and process until a ball begins to form, adding the additional cream if necessary to help the dough come together. Remove the dough from the processor bowl, handling the blade carefully, and transfer to a lightly floured surface. With clean hands, press the dough down into a circle. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before use.
