–Photo by Chris Lundy The V-shaped intersection will be changed in the future. The River Pointe development is one of the causes of the change in the intersection, so the developer will be paying for it. By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – The intersection of Ridgeway Boulevard and Route 547 will be changing, as a new lighted intersection will help with the additional traffic from a new senior community. At a recent meeting, the Ocean County Freeholders voted to execute an easement agreement with the Department of the Air Force to realign Ridgeway Boulevard and to construct a traffic signal at Route 547.
What this means is that they had to acquire a strip of land from the base in order for the developer to rework the intersection, county engineer John Ernst said. Currently, Ridgeway Boulevard and Route 547 connect in a V-shape near Alba’s Pub, on the border of Lakehurst. Drivers heading north can head either way. If you are driving south on Ridgeway, and want to turn north on 547, you have to navigate (Ridgeway - See Page 5)
By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – Manchester Schools will add a new tool to its arsenal to combat a growing crisis – the opioid epidemic. A policy up for first reading at its most recent Board of Education meeting addressed guidelines for administering an opioid antidote in its six schools. The policy cites New Jersey’s Overdose Prevention Act, which Governor Chris Christie signed into law in May 2013. It calls to protect people who reach out for medical help in the event of a drug overdose. During situations where illegal drugs are found at a scene after a call is made to save someone’s life, “these witnesses and victims should be protected from arrest, charge, prosecution, conviction, and revocation of parole or probation for possession or use of illegal drugs,” the legislation reads. The Overdose Prevention Act also mentions naloxone, commonly known by its brand name Narcan, as a cheap and easy-to-administer antidote for drug overdose victims that would greatly reduce the number of overdose deaths in the state.

The Future Of Performing Arts In Ocean County
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – When the chorus took the stage, dozens of their peers in the crowd burst out in applause and shouting. There was an excitement among

Financing And Naming Rights The state will fund $10.6 million toward the funding of the construction. Ocean County and the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation will each contribute $8 million. OCC will provide $2 million. However, there would still be the cost of programming and expansion of education that is currently done. This would cost an estimated $5 million, said Jeremy Grunin, president of his parents’ foundation. So, the foundation is kicking off a fundraising drive for this. “We are willing to forego the naming rights” of the building, he said. A donor who would contribute $2.5 out of the total $5 million would secure the naming rights of the building. “It is not an act of vanity but an act of leadership,” he said. Sponsoring an educational endeavor like this is meant to inspire giving in others.

distinguish a community from the sameness that permeates so much of our national landscape,” said Jay Grunin, co-founder and co-chair of the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation. The school will be a place for creative students to develop their own unique needs, and explore new subject matters and cultures, he said. It will also provide the skills and mindset to succeed in the 21st century job market. “Arts education not only enhances students’ understanding of the world around them, but it also broadens their perspective on traditional academics. The arts give us the creativity to express ourselves while challenging our intellect. The arts integrate life and learning for all students, and are essential for the development of the whole person,” he said. The goal is to be completed in December of 2019, so students could start in January of 2020, Hoey said. However, if there are construction delays, the first classes would be held in September of 2020. There would be high school students on the same campus as adult college students, but Hoey said every precaution will be made to keep the students safe. There will be chaperones for common areas like lunch

Performing Arts Academy on the grounds of Ocean County College. Their songs and dance number was just a preview of what was to come when the school finally finds a home there. Currently, the academy is stationed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. The school is distant from everything else, and difficult to travel to and from. The new school would be built in front of the current Jay and Linda Grunin Center. Ocean County Vocational Technical School Superintendent William P. Hoey Jr. said that the grounds between the center and parking lot will be extended, taking up some of the parking, for the building. The building will be used by college classes at night. The academy will allow performing arts Vo-Tech students to earn both a high school diploma and an Associate’s Degree at the same time. Hoey told a story of walking through the halls of the current performing arts academy. When classes let out, kids poured into the halls. Many of them were singing. This is just something that happens when creative kids are given a chance to express themselves.
“It’s a tribute to the kind of education that they’ve chosen,” he said. And “chosen” might be the most important part of that. When kids have a hand in their own education, they are driven to excel. It’s that kind of excitement, on display on stage at the event, that will prompt them to succeed, he said. The Performing Arts Academy, as well as the county’s Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science, are federally recognized Blue Ribbon schools, he said. Placing the academy in a state-of-the-art building will give it even more potential. OCC President Jon Larson said this will be a transformative experience for both schools, “making us the envy of other counties.” Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari touted the cooperation between the vo-tech, OCC, county government, and the Grunin Foundation. Students that will graduate from the future academy will look back at the opportunities that were given here, he said. It will provide them the training for future careers – some of which don’t even exist yet. “Towns and cities aspire to be places where people want to live and visit. A vibrant and flourishing arts culture is certainly a way to

Lakehurst Traffic Stop Leads To Drug Arrests
By Sara Grillo LAKEHURST – A recent routine traffic stop by Lakehurst Police led to drug charges for three people from Pennsylvania who were driving around town with marijuana, methamphetamine and hypodermic needles. Officer Jonathan Papernik pulled over a 2002 Buick Regal around 4:35 p.m. for a traffic violation, which led to an on scene investigation and search of the vehicle, as well as the discovery of the illegal drugs. The driver, 34-year-old James Ainsworth of Levittown, Pennsylvania was charged with possession of marijuana, possession
of drug paraphernalia, driving with a suspended license, possession of CDS in a motor vehicle and failure to signal a turn. A passenger, 34 -year- old Desi ree Bleistein of Levittown, Pennsylvania was charged with possession of methamphetamine and failure to wear a seatbelt, and a third passenger, 30-year-old Jonathon Stec of Morrisville, Pennsylvania was charged with possession of a hypodermic syringe. The three out-of-towners were taken to Lakehurst Police Headquarters, processed and released on summonses pending court appearances.
Naloxone:
nurse being called. The school nurse can then administer naloxone if he/she feels the person is experiencing an opioid overdose. The student will be kept comfortable until emergency medical service members arrive and they are transported to the nearest hospital by a school staff member. Parents or family members will be notified as soon as possible. The Overdose Prevention Act does have its limits, though. It shies away from protecting individuals from arrest, prosecution or conviction for criminal offenses like drug trafficking. The Manchester Police has a special Narcotics Enforcement Team (NET) that pursues narcotic-related criminal offenders through aggressive highway exclusion, neighborhood tips and complaints. NET also plays an investigative role in the community by identifying, locating and arresting narcotic suspects and remanding cases to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office for criminal prosecution.
Continued From Page 1 has also given the green light to school districts to adopt policies and procedures to administer opioid antidotes to students, school personnel or anyone who may be experiencing an opioid overdose during school hours or on-site school-sponsored activities. Based on Manchester Schools’ policy, the school district physician will provide all necessary information, including: opioid overdose prevention and recognition, antidote dosage and administration, instructions on how to perform rescue breathing and resuscitation, importance of calling 911 during an opioid overdose, and appropriate care of an overdose victim after administration of the opioid antidote. After receiving a report of a possible opioid overdose during school hours or a school-sponsored activity, 911 will immediately be called, followed by the school
Ridgeway:
Continued From Page 1 a tight turn on that V, into oncoming traffic. Under the new plan, Ridgeway would veer west and form a perpendicular intersection at 547, Ernst said. There will be a traffic signal there. The new intersection will be just north of the Cathedral of the Air. The existing intersection, where Ridgeway forms a V with 547, will also be changed, he said. A driver heading south on Ridgeway will follow the road to the new intersection. From there, they can either go north or south on 547. The existing southbound lane on Ridgeway will be “cul-de-saced.” No drivers will be allowed to go south into that V. A small strip of southbound roadway will continue
to exist only to serve the few businesses on that section of Ridgeway, he said. Drivers heading north will have to go to the new intersection and turn right. River Pointe by Del Webb is under construction up the street on Ridgeway. According to its web site, it’s an active adult community with houses starting at $269,990. Building this intersection was one of the conditions that were required of the developer before the neighborhood was approved, Ernst said. Currently there is a sign stating that commercial real estate is available on that site. The developer has the option to use the extra land created for commercial use, Ernst said. Any commercial property would have access from the new part of Ridgeway.

Father, Son Arrested For Growing Pot Plants In Backyard
By Sara Grillo MANCHESTER – A father and son were recently arrested by the Manchester Police Department’s Narcotics Enforcement Team after the duo was caught growing 29 marijuana plants in their backyard. Officers from the Narcotics Enforcement Team (N.E.T.) received a tip that someone in the home was growing marijuana there, and after an investigation launched and surveillance was set up in the area, the team secured a search warrant that ultimately led to the arrests of 37-year-old Michael Ponsiek and his 63-year-old father Richard Ponsiek. During an early morning search of the Weldon Road home, N.E.T. and Ocean County Regional SWAT team officers found the 5- to 6-foot marijuana plants growing in the backyard, as well as 711 additional grams of marijuana, drug packaging and distribution materials, hypodermic syringes, crack cocaine, a stun gun and a .22 caliber revolver. The Ponsiek son was charged with one count each of Maintaining a CDS Manufacturing
Facility, Possession of and Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana, Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana within 500 Feet of a Park, Possession of a Stun Gun, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Possession of Hypodermic Syringes. Ponsiek’s father Richard was charged with one count each of Conspiracy to Commit Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana, Conspiracy to Commit Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana within 500 Feet of a Park, Conspiracy to Commit Possession of Marijuana over 50 grams and Possession of Prohibited Weapons. Officers from the Manchester Police Department’s Investigations, Patrol Bureau and K-9 Unit assisted in the investigation, along with detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Financial Crimes Unit. Residents can report drug related tips to the Manchester Police anonymously at 732657-6111, or online via the Department’s website manchesterpolicenj.com by clicking the “Tip Line” link.

Officials: Oyster Creek Drill Successful
By Chris Lundy LACEY – The scenario is pretty frightening: a plume of radiation has escaped Oyster Creek Generating Station. Fortunately, it was only a drill, and according to the people grading the test, local officials passed with flying colors, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Nuclear Regulatory Committee. There was a three-day “Full Scale Plume/Ingestion Pathway Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise” throughout local towns recently. The plume was imagined to stretch 10 miles from the plant, than 50 miles. At that point, the “Ingestion” par t of the d r ill came –Photo by Chris Lundy in.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Traffic Nightmare On Princeton Ave. For the past seven or eight years, the traffic on Princeton Ave. in Brick has become a nightmare. The speed limit says 40 miles an hour while there are times the cars are doing 46 to 50 miles an hour. Princeton Ave. is a residential area. The volume of the traffic is because the people are using Princeton Ave. to avoid Route 88 which is 35 miles an hour (and is a commercial road) while trying to get to Point Pleasant. The majority of the people do not live on or off Princeton Ave. The cars come in caravans of 7 to 19 or more all day, every day seven days a week. Trying to cross Princeton Ave. is at your own risk because the caravan of cars is coming both ways. Then there are people driving in the bike lane while trying to get around a car that is trying to make a turn off Princeton Ave. These people don’t even slow down – they continue their same speed. These drivers are sometimes very abusive to the people walking or riding their bikes in the bike lane. There are fewer people walking, jogging or riding their bikes anymore because they don’t feel safe. Princeton Ave. has very few sidewalks – hence walking or jogging in the bike lane.
Then we have the problem of trying to get out of our development. First there are the cars speeding through a red light. I live on Princeton Pines Place. When trying to go straight across Princeton Ave. to Post Road, that’s another nightmare. We have to fight the people making a right turn onto Post Road even though they have a red light but they continue to speed around the corner. They need a “No Turn On Red” sign at this corner. Sometimes we have to slam on our brakes to avoid an accident even though we have the light. But these people just keep going. I addressed these concerns with the town over two years ago but nothing has changed. If anything, the situation has only gotten worse. There are more cars, trucks, and even big commercial trailers. The summer months always bring more traffic and then there is the Farmers’ Market on Saturdays at Windward Beach during the four summer months. The traffic is horrible on Saturdays during the summer. This issue needs to be addressed before a major causality occurs. Elizabeth Schuckman Brick

Not A Vote For Trump In reference to John Cardello’s recent letter, I feel I must respond even though his “facts” are questionable at best. About his reference to the great job Trump is doing; we learn from the Gallup. com poll: Trump’s most recent weekly average approval rating is 38 (from Sept. 11-17, 2017) From Newsweek: “Trump’s approval rating is bad – like, historically bad. The weighted average from data-focused website FiveThirtyEight pegged it at just 37 percent on Friday – Day 197 of his presidency. No other president in the history of modern polling has had an approval rating so dismal on Day 197.” President Trump regularly boasts about the stock market’s strong performance since his inauguration. What Trump hasn’t noted, however, is that Barack Obama and George H.W. Bush oversaw greater stock market expansion during their first six months in office, as judged by percentage growth of the S&P 500. As for the Russian investigation being over, Mr. Cardello, surely you must have been sipping the Kool-Aid or taking a page from Trump’s “alternative facts.” The New York Times three days ago, headlined “Mueller Seeks White House Documents Related to Trump’s Actions
Letters To The Editorthey will no longer take fullas President.” The article Vicari goes on to say, “The document requests provide the most details to date about the breadth of Mr. Mueller’s investigation, and show that several aspects of his inquiry are focused squarely on Mr. Trump’s behavior in the White House.” This article is dated Sept. 20, 2017, so the investigation is certainly not over even though Trump and Mr. Cardello wish it to be so. About food stamps (SNAP) you boasted that there are fewer people on food stamps. One can certainly state that there could be less people on food stamps because Trump cut the budget for eligible recipients. Nearly half of SNAP recipients are children. That’s 20 million kids – about 1 in 4 Americans under the age of 18. The 42 million Americans – 13 percent of the population – who currently receive SNAP benefits, which include low income families, the elderly (about 11 percent of SNAP recipients are seniors) people with disabilities, and those who have lost a job. They receive an average of about $4.17 per day, or $1.39 per meal. (from modernfarmer. com) Surely you cannot be proud of taking food out of their mouths. All in all, Mr. Cardello, I do not wish to be in your rising boat that purportedly lifts us all. Neither do I wish to be in the Trump one that is sinking. Rosemary Doherty Berkeley

Barnegat Meeting A Farce In case you missed the Barnegat Township Committee Meeting on Sept. 5, here’s some details. It was a complete farce…nothing more than a campaign-style “rally” meeting, a la Trump, where each of the committee members gave a stump speech promoting their “greatness.” I would, however, like to give them some credit on two issues which we in the township had been strongly and vociferously advocating for over the last 10-15 years. They finally listened to us and made some renovations to our public parks and, after all these years, the committee members announced that
time health benefits. On this last issue of the health benefits, I would like to highlight two relevant, somewhat hypocritical and misplaced comments made by our committee members at the meeting last Tuesday. Mr. Novak had the audacity to state that he is a “true public servant” because he is generously refusing to take these health benefits. Why didn’t he refuse them the last three years and also when he was on the committee several years ago? Mr. Bille, from the dais of our Township Committee meeting as mayor, inappropriately “thanked” their two candidates for refusing to take these health benefits. This ploy is purely a campaign strategy and should be seen as such. Campaign matters have no place at a Township Committee meeting. The last issue I wanted to discuss in this letter is one about which, our entire town is up-in-arms….the huge municipal tax increases we have experienced over the last 10-15 years – years in which both Mr. Cirulli and Mr. Novak served as mayor and/or Township Committee members and voted on all the budgets during their tenures. If we just take 2016 vs 2015 municipal taxes – they increased by $2.2 Million (10% year-over-year). Looking back on previous years we see the same irresponsible spending. Every year residents stand up and ask for answers to these unacceptable spending patterns and the Township Committee continues to dance around the issue. Well, I think it’s time for new voices in Barnegat and the only way we’ll get them is if you go to the ballot box and make it happen. We have had a one-party Township Committee in Barnegat for far too long and it’s time to make some changes. Vote on November 7. That’s the only way we can begin to affect change in Barnegat.

McGuckin Seeking Input From Sandy Damaged Homeowners Capitol Comments Assemblyman Gregory McGuckin 10th Legislative District, Serving Toms River
NEW JERSEY – Assemblyman McGuckin of the 10 th Legislative District, will be introducing a bill to provide a tax break to homeow ners who have
TOMS RIVER – Ocean County Air port located off Route 530 in Berkeley Township has undergone numerous improvements si nc e f i r st b ei ng c on structed in the 1960s. However, its focus remains the same, according to Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “The Ocean County Airport helps meet the aviation needs of the County and also serves as a hub for public safety providing a location at various times for aircraft for agencies like the state Forest Fire Service, the military, and state police to name a few. “We continue to make improvements to this facility because it’s a valuable asset to our County and our residents,” said Vicari, who serves as liaison to the airport. While the County completes work on a new eightunit t-hanger building at the airport, it is already reviewing the future needs of the airport unveiling improvement plans during a meeting of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Recently completed improvements include the second phase of obstruct io n r e m ov a l , h el i p a d
paid JCP&L a nd Ver izon for utility pole modifications resulting from post-Sandy home elevations. The 10 th Legislative District Office wants to
hear f rom homeow ners who have elevated their homes and subsequently paid utility companies for these pole modifications. As a result of Superstorm Sandy, homeowners have been forced to elevate their homes to prevent future f looding and damage to their property. These newly raised homes require utility poles to be modified and raised as well. This has resulted in homeowners
having to pay out of pocket to both JCP&L and Verizon for these alterations. In some cases the cost of these alterations has exceeded $20,000. “A number of our constituents have contacted us stating that, after they have elevated their homes, they are now being required to foot the bill for JCP&L to raise their utility poles to correspond with the newly raised homes,”
said McGuckin. “We have witnessed cases where the homeowner is responsible for a bill ranging from $6000 -$20,000. These numbers are astronomical and an immense burden on individual homeowners.” “With this legislation we would provide a tax break for people who have paid JCP&L and Verizon for these pole modifications after raising their homes,” c o n t i n u e d Mc G u c k i n .
Ocean County Airport Plans For Future; Meeting Aviation And Safety Needs
lighting, and runway lighting. In addition, future projects include another 12-bay t-hanger building, apron expansion and rehabilitation and replacement of the rotating beacon. “This is part of an Airport Capital Improvement Program that extends to 2024,” Vicari said. He noted that an upcoming project includes rehabilitating most of the length of the main runway which is about 1 mile long. The project, expected to begin next spring and take 31 days to complete, costs about $3.2 million and the County has been approved for grants totaling $3 million. “The Federal Aviation Ad mi nist ration recommends resurfacing r unways eve r y 20 yea r s,” Vicari said. Vicari noted that most of the work done at the airport is done with Federal Aviation Administration and state Department of Transportation grants. “Since 1990, the total cost of upgrades and improvement projects at the airport was $33,342,450,” Vicari said. “We received $27,199,133 in FAA and state Department of Transportation Grants, reducing the county’s contribution
to $6.1 million.” Another example, the County recently completed improvements to the main r unway’s lighting system with mostly grant money. “We applied for federal funding for 90 percent of the cost of the replacement project and for state funding for five percent of the total cost,” Vicari said. The project cost was about $810,0 0 a nd t he design work, funded also by federal and state grants was completed earlier in June. “The lighting improvements for the main runway improves safety for pilots com i ng i nt o a nd leaving the air port,” Vicari said. “W hether it’s for public safety or to help our economic efforts, the Ocean County Airport is an important facility providing an integral service in Ocean County.” Vicari noted the new r unway lighting system replaced a system that was more than 20 years old and had been scheduled for replacement. The project included the installation of high intensity r u nway/t h reshold edge lights and high intensity f lush mou nted r u nway edge lights.
Ocean County also completed in 2014 the Crosswind Runway at the airport – the fi rst runway built in New Jersey in 30 years. T he Cou nt y received more than $7.7 million in grants from the FAA and the New Jersey Department of Transportation to construct the project. That project brought significant improvements to the airpark at a minimal cost to the County. “The crosswind runway which is about 3,400 feet provides a safer landing alternative for smaller aircraft during adverse wind conditions,” Vicari said. “The safety of the pilots using the airpark is of the utmost importance to this
Board.” “All of the improvements, whet he r it be t he new hangers, lighting upgrades or the crosswind runway, all of these are consistent with the Airport Capital I mprove me nt P rog r a m and the Pinelands Memorandum of Agreement,” Vicari said. “There are restrictions on development and land use by virtue of the airport’s location within a Pinelands Preservation Area and a Pinelands Forest Area. “It’s important to the County that we act as a good neighbor and make certain whatever we do at the airport is consistent with its location,” he said. “We are working in
“JCP&L and Verizon have an obligation to provide reliable and safe service to their customers and as a result of changing regulations, upgrades are needed to provide adequate ser vices on the bar r ier island.” Have you paid JCP&L or Verizon for pole modifi cations as a result of elevating your home? Please contact our District Office at 732-840-9028.
partnership with the fixed base operator and a host of other agencies to make su re the facilit y meets all regulations, is up to date and serves the public properly.” The Ocean County Airport covers 822 acres of t he 955 acre Rober t J. Miller Airpark in Berkeley Township. Its fixed base operator Ocean Aire offers complete support services for general and corporate aircraft. “The airport helps with our tourism efforts providing a premiere space for smaller planes for our visitors and residents,” Vicari said. “It also provides a central location for a host of public safety services.”

Keeping Your Ears In Good Shape
We all know that exercise is good for keeping our bodies in good shape. There is more and more evidence that exercising our ears is also good for keeping our hearing in good shape. A number of studies in the United States and abroad have demonstrated that individuals with hearing loss in both ears, who only use one hearing aid, tend to maintain or improve their ability to understand words in the ear with the hearing aid. The ear without the hearing aid tends to decline in word recognition ability. This decline is not a change in hearing sensitivity, but rather is a decline in the ability to process the complex speech signal simply through the lack of use. In my opinion, there are several reasons for this phenomenon: 1. The ear without the hearing aid is not being “exercised” very much and 2. The area of the brain involved in hearing is not being used and becomes less effective at
processing speech information. This gradual decline in speech recognition ability usually reverses itself once the ear gets more stimulation (normally through the use of a hearing aid). Research in England suggests this process of gradual improvement in speech understanding may take four to six weeks after the hearing aid fitting, and may continue for up to 12 weeks. What does this mean to someone with hearing loss? Over the past 10 years, the results of a number of studies suggests the following: 1. The longer a hearing loss is ignored, the greater effect. 2. The sooner a hearing loss is treated, the easier the adjustment. 3. In almost all cases, two hearing aids are better than one. Two hearing aids will keep both ears and both sides of the brain actively involved in hearing. 4. Improved hearing may take a little time and patience.
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!

How Magnesium Helps You Breathe And Be Happy
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Magnesium participates as a cofactor in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in your body which comes as a surprise to people who think that FDA-approved medications hold a clinical edge over nutrients. Medications tend to steal the show, but I can’t name one drug that functions in 300 metabolic processes in your body. Not one! Even the National Institutes of Health says magnesium is necessary to help maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keep your heart rhythm steady, support a healthy immune and bronchial system and keep your bones strong so your hip doesn’t give out. According to a survey by the U.S. government 75 percent of American adults have a magnesium-deficient diet. That’s three out of four of you. It’s getting worse due to the massive coffee consumption because compounds in coffee are ‘drug muggers’ of magnesium. Human deficiencies occur more often because the soil is very deficient in magnesium, so the salad that grows in the soil isn’t soaking up as much mag as it used to back in the day! When you eat it, it’s not as nutritious. Magnesium levels impact one hugely important organ in your body, your heart! Everyone is so afraid of a heart attack and yet, I bet you don’t know that a low level of magnesium is associated with an increased level of C-reactive protein (CRP). CRP is a marker for type of inflammation and it’s a silent killer. High CRP levels are associated with heart disease.
Has anyone ever tested your RBC magnesium levels if you have asthma? The reason I ask is because low magnesium levels have long been associated with several adverse, dangerous lung conditions. Even a recent study confirmed how low levels of magnesium and vitamin D are associated with an increased incidence of severe breathing difficulties! Sadly, most patients are put on inhalers for their entire lifetime, without ever getting tested to see if low mag is contributing. A low magnesium level can damage your brain and mood. In my book, Headache Free, I provided research to show how magnesium can reduce headache frequency, while improving mood and restorative sleep. No surprise there… magnesium is needed to create dopamine, serotonin and other happy brain chemicals. But a very common mistake is taking the wrong form. You will need the kind of magnesium that actually gets into your brain, like the “threonate” form, as opposed to the laxative form of magnesium like “citrate” which slides through your colon. I have much more to share with you about magnesium’s role in women’s health, bone integrity and cardiovascular disease so I’m inviting you to my website (suzycohen.com) to sign up for my newsletter. When you do that, I’ll email the longer version of this article. You do need to read it because three out of four American’s are magnesium deficient, so if it’s not you, then three of your relatives are deficient and that means their heart and brain are at risk.

Folk/Country/Rock Acts Perform At Grunin Center
TOMS RIVER – Joan Osborne heads a list of who’s who when a variety of folk, country, and rock singer/songwriters perform at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College. The 2017-2018 season features, Osborne, legendary Arlo Guthrie and Peter Yarrow, John Gorka/Amilia K. Spicer, and Tom Chapin and the Chapin Sisters. Performances take place on the Main Stage, Grunin Center, OCC Main Campus, College Drive, Toms River. Please use Parking Lot #2. Tickets are on sale now. Joan Osborne Sings the Songs of Bob Dylan –October 14, 8 p.m., Main Stage, $35. Dinner Add-On Available: $25 Dinner at Caneda’s White Rooster. Joan Osborne has rightfully earned a reputation as one of the great voices of her generation – both a commanding, passionate performer and a frank, emotionally evocative songwriter. A multi-platinum selling recording artist and seven-time Grammy Award® nominee, the soulful vocalist is a highly sought-after collaborator and guest artist who has performed alongside many notables, including Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Luciano Pavarotti, Emmylou Harris, Taj Mahal, and Mavis Staples, to name a few. Her two residencies at Cafe Carlyle at The Carlyle Hotel in New York City (2016-2017), titled “Joan Osborne Sings the Songs of Bob Dylan” and “Joan Osborne Sings the Songs of Bob Dylan II,” received critical acclaim from media outlets such as The New York Times, “At every point in the evening, you had a sense of Ms. Osborne as an artist who knew exactly what she was doing.” Osborne felt this would be a great chance to work out an idea she had of doing a “Songbook Series” of albums with the songs of recent writers. Dylan was an obvious choice. Osborne’s new album, The Songs of Bob Dylan, Vol. 1, was released July 2017. Purchase Tickets online grunincenter.org, call 732-255-0500, or visit the Box Office, Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Prices, dates, times, performers, and shows are subject to change. Upcoming Folk Performances at the Grunin Center Arlo Guthrie Re: Generation Tour –November 9, 7:30 p.m., Main Stage, $59-$50. Dinner Add-On Available: $30 Dinner in the Grunin Center Gallery catered by Prime 13. The father of the American protest song, Woody Guthrie hoped one day to have enough kids to form a family band to travel the country and sing songs to the people. John Gorka with special guest Amilia K. Spicer –January 20, 8 p.m., Main Stage, $25. Rising from a milieu of lovelorn singer-songwriters, John Gorka illuminates instead with his trademark wordplay, twisting and trying words and phrases, in a way a balloon artist creates complex creatures from simple balloons. Few contemporary songwriters coax language a deftly as Gorka. For over two decades, Gorka’s keen ear has picked up the stories of those along his path, folding them into poetry and song. As the lyric from her song “Shotgun” implies, singer-songwriter Amilia K. Spicer has a thing for wide-open spaces and mystical places. Even her record label name, Free Range Records, reflects her vagabond spirit, which has carried her from the green hills of her native Pennsylvania, through the hill country of central Texas, to the mountain monasteries of Tibet. Based in Los Angeles and Austin, she might tell you she feels most rooted when she’s heading toward a distant horizon. Tom Chapin & Chapin Sisters –April 21, 8
p.m., Main Stage, $35-$30. In the long rich history of Family Groups in American Roots Music, the Chapin Family has a special place. When these singers, songwriters and extraordinary live performers come together, magic happens. Join Tom Chapin and the Chapin Sisters (Tom’s daughters Abigail and Lily) for an evening full of warmth, song, beautiful harmony, and transcendent music. Tom Chapin and The Chapin Sisters are powerful musical
artists who have active careers and multiple recordings, who just happen to be related, and who love making music together. This concert will feature each group performing original and traditional songs, as well as a few songs by the late, great Harry Chapin. Peter Yarrow –May 11, 8 p.m., Main Stage, $35-$30. Dinner Add-On Available: $25 Dinner at Caneda’s White Rooster. Legendary musician Peter Yarrow weaves a narrative of
his life in music and politics, punctuating the major events with renditions of the iconic songs we all know and love. From his life in Greenwich Village in the 1960s, his connections to Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger, and his career as part of the trio Peter, Paul & Mary. Yarrow shares a part of American history influenced heavily by music. Yarrow creates community within his audiences through his reflections in both words and music.

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 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 finds 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. Nelson Features Impressive Background Nelson brings a well-rounded background to the Vikings. If she can impart at least some of her knowledge to her teams, watch out. A member of Barnegat High School’s first 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 (Teams - See Page 27)

Teams:
Continued From Page 26 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 first 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 Vikings. “Coaching is a lot more demanding than I felt it would be,” she said. “I plan all of the workouts and do the behind the scenes things like eligibility and recruiting. 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
The Manchester Times, October 7, 2017, Page 27 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 1912 overall, including 12-8 in the Garden State Athletic Conference, under coach Andy Smith, who competed for Brick Memorial. Smith is now an assistant men’s coach at Northwest Christian University in Eugene, Oregon. 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.”

Stafford To Be Main Hub For Meals On Wheels
By Chris Lundy STAFFORD – The county’s Meals on Wheels location in Lakewood will be moved to Stafford after the Southern Service Center will be renovated to accommodate the entire program. Already, the southern center, located on Route 9 just south of Route 72, holds a lot of other services. Adult day care, senior services, for example. There are offices for the county clerk, surrogate, and Veterans Service Bureau, and the State Housing and Rental Assistance Program (SHRAP). The St. Francis Center on Long Beach Island also operates a satellite out of the building. Despite all this going on, there will be more. The county is investing into the center to expand the kitchen in order to have it provide meals for everyone who needs assistance in Ocean County. In doing so, the county will be taking Meals on Wheels out of the Lakewood facility off of Clifton Avenue. The southern site is five times the size of the northern one in Lakewood. Residents can still come and pick up meals in Lakewood, county administrator Carl Block said. There just won’t be deliveries from that location. “Traffic is terrible. The kitchen is smaller. Parking is almost non-existent,” Block said. It’s also in such a densely-built area that it can’t expand. Whereas Stafford is on wide open acreage. “There’s enough room for a whole production center there,” he said. Although having Stafford be the hub of the entire operation would add some time to meal deliveries in the northern end of the county, it’s not as much is you consider the amount of time Lakewood drivers spend in traffic and looking for parking, he said. The ceiling will be lowered so that a fi re suppression system can be installed. The lower ceiling will also make acoustics better for speaking events. There will be room for storage, including storage of meals that can be kept at room temperature, given out over extended holidays or in emergencies. Additional refrigeration and a loading dock will also be included. There will be updated communication technology for when it is used as a headquarters during an emergency. There will also be more administrative space for clients. During the upgrades, the meals will still be produced, mostly out of Lakewood, but also out of Stafford. Jackie Rohan, director of the office of senior services, said that the county provides about 1,000-1,100 meals a day. The nice thing about the Stafford location is that there’s a large area for people to “meet to eat.” It’s important to address people’s social needs as well as their nutritional ones. They could be living in a senior community of hundreds or thousands of people and still not have any connections to anyone else. They’ll also often have a presentation or activity for
them when they come in. Some get transportation to arrive and some are independent enough to drive. Social services set up tables so people can talk to them, such as the health department, ombudsman, consumer affairs, Interfaith and RWJ Barnabas Health. Meals on Wheels is more than just delivering food, Rohan said. When delivery people go out to homes, they might be the only person who comes into that home on a regular basis. This provides a needed social element for homebound seniors. It also provides an early warning system. These delivery people know to look for red flags that would indicate that the homeowner needs help. They get to know the people, and therefore can tell if something is wrong. The drivers might be the fi rst to notice if a senior has memory issues or other health problems. If they are having issues with independence, providing a free meal means they don’t have to cook, she added. It might not be safe to have some of them operating stoves. They provide one meal a day, but some seniors split it up, and have half for dinner. They run Monday through Friday, but there are also many who get meals on the weekend. The goal of senior services is to look at the whole person, and make sure they are physically and psychologically able to do what they need to do, and have socialization, she said. The Stafford center goes a long way in meeting those needs. According to the 2010 census, there were 121,104 people 65 and older living in Ocean County. Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari said it’s a prime location, close to Route 9, Route 72, and the Garden State Parkway. That makes it relatively easy to get to and for delivery drivers to get to other spots in the county. Since there are two generators on site, it can be used as a shelter, he said. In fact, the National Guard was stationed there during Superstorm Sandy. State police helicopters can land on the property to evacuate seriously injured people. “It is less expensive to provide food for one-year for a senior then it is to cover the cost of a day in an emergency room,” Vicari said. Vicari also responded to people’s fears that the federal funding for a lot of health or senior programs could be cut off. “The people in Ocean County are not going to starve. We will always protect the frail, elderly, and disabled.” The county opened the center in 2011. It used to be St. Mary’s Parish. The senior nutrition site came two years later. The county will bond $1 million to upgrade it, he said. Yezzi Associates are doing the architectural work. Staff from that group took input from the cooks and other employees at the facility to make their plans. The work is expected to be completed next year.

Ocean Medical Center Unveils New Medical Suite
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BR ICK – Ocean Medical Center in Brick now has an $18.5 million stateof-the-art medical-surgical suite, which is the latest addition to a master facility plan developed five years ago. This expansion comes on the heels of an expansion of the Emergency Care Center in 2014 and the construction of
a new Cancer Care Center in 2016. A ceremony and ribbon-cutting was held for the new 36,000-square-foot “Southwest Pavilion” on Tuesday September 12, which was held under an outdoor tent and attended by nearly 200 stakeholders, including Hackensack Meridian Health leadership, hospital employees, lea der sh ip f rom Ocea n

Medical Center Foundation, and elected officials. In his opening remarks, President of Ocean Medical Center Dean Q. Lin said that the new medical-surgical f loor is uniquely designed to bring “humanity to healthcare.” The f loor has 36 private patient rooms dedicated to elective surgeries, such as
joint and hip replacements and bariatric and GI procedures. The new suite is divided into three “neighborhoods” that feature distinctive colors and a curved nurses’ station that enhances nurses’ line of sight into patient rooms. Each room has modern amenities, such as in-room speaker systems, pull-out couches for family members to stay overnight, oversized windows to bring in more natural light, noise-reducing design features, computers that face the patients to increase transparency, and much more. “We want to change the perception of what healthcare means,” Lin said. “The Southwest Pavilion will bring a culture of love and compassion, and we hope to instill a sense of humanity in future physicians,” he said. Next year Hackensack Meridian Health Ocean Medical Center will host the first group of medical school residents who are studying to be internists, family practitioners and psychiatrists, he said. Robert C. Garrett and John K. Lloyd, who are the Co-Chief Executive officers of Hackensack Meridian Health, also attended the grand opening ceremony. Gar rett said that the Cancer Care Center has a partnership with Sloan Kettering and it has adapted 100 of their clinical protocols. “Patients no longer have to travel to the city to get the very best cancer care,” he said. Lloyd said the expansion of the Emergency Care Center was made possible by a $5 million donation by the Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Foundation. “That $5 million was very important for us, and it speaks volumes about what the community thinks about the new facility here,” he said. Lin said the decision to expand was a big one, since hospitals are closing and beds are shrinking nationwide. “Now we’re in a position to serve this community, which has grown in leaps and bounds over the years,” he said. An average of 175 people show up at the emergency room each day, he added. T he f i nal spea ker was Rober t G. Har ms, Chair of the Ocean Medical Center Foundation, a tax-exempt nonprofit group of volunteers who provide philanthropic support for the hospital. Har ms said that the foundation has raised some $116 million for the three additions. The Foundation would be spending some $5 million to renovate 80 of the 300 existing rooms at the hospital in the near future, Harms said. After the ribbon-cutting, Lin said that next on the master facility plan is a cardiovascular institute to be housed on the second f loor, which is currently empty. “We’d like to have an integrated heart and vascular program with interventional radiology and a cath lab, and three or four hybrid operating rooms,” he said. “But it’s still in the planning stages.”

RUNNERS RETURN FOR SEMPER FIVE RUN
By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Around 2,000 runners participated in the Sept. 16 Semper Five Run, a 5 kilometer race to benefit a U.S. Marine Corps charity which saw tremendous security precautions and a change of locale in the wake of last year’s terrorist bombing incident. That Sept. 17, 2016 incident involved a pipe bomb which exploded in a trash container in Seaside Park along the course route. Later that day, a homemade pressure cooker bomb went off in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. A second pressure cooker bomb was found four blocks away. The Semper Five website featured the following post: “The motto of the Marine Raiders is “Spiritus Invictus” meaning Unconquerable Spirit. It is with this unyielding fortitude that the 4th Annual Seaside Semper Five returns following last year’s terrorist bombing. Undeterred and committed to serving those who serve our country, this year’s race will be bigger and better than ever. The new course in Seaside Heights has been designed to accommodate the significantly greater anticipated number of runners.” This year’s event saw increased security personnel in the form of Seaside Heights police, members of the Ocean County Sheriff’ Department, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, NJ State Police and Ocean County Sheriff’s Department K9 Units, Office of Homeland Security Divi-
sion of the New Jersey State Police, FBI, NJ State Police Marines and NJ State Police Aviation Drone officers. “It is incredible how much security we have here on land, sea and air,” Seaside Heights Police Chief Thomas Boyd said prior to the start of the race. Seaside Heights Mayor Anthony Vaz said that the event went without a hitch. “It was excellent. There were approximately 2,000 runners and security was at its highest level. We like hosting this event as we support the mission of the event. We are not afraid of terrorists and we will not let them stop us.” The route ran in an “L” formation from Dupont Avenue to Hiering Avenue and back again according to one Ocean County Sheriff’s Department officer. The course included about nine blocks of the borough and was carefully monitored by police that observed the activity from the air in the form of helicopters and drones, officers on the beach and at various points along the course. The race started at 9 a.m. but the borough was also hosting another event, the annual “Barbeque At Sea,” which was located off the boardwalk. That event was also subject to a security check according to a member of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department. “This was a great race and it went very well,” said Jen Allen from Mount Holly. This marked her first time running in the Semper Five Run. “I knew it would be safe and I really had no concerns. We weren’t given the route until just before it started.”
“I’ve been running at events like this before and I really enjoyed this experience. I don’t know my time yet but I know I didn’t win a medal but it was a good time,” Allen said. Randy Faiges, Bayville, took second place. This also marked his first year running in the Semper Five. The 26-year-old runner said he often runs in area events like this and was pleased how it was coordinated. “I think it went very well and while I was aware of what happened last year I felt there was a so much security around that I’d be safe. I saw cops everywhere throughout the run. It was pretty crowded on the boardwalk as we ran and there were also a lot of runners in the event,” Faiges said. The big winner of the day was Brick resident Dianne DeOlivera, whose fast pace is well known in runner circles. “It didn’t matter if I won or lost; it really is about the cause,” she said prior to the event. DeOlivera came in first place. She had also been present at last year’s event. Walter Hrycenko, Toms River, was involved in the coordination of the event. He was busy assisting with registration. “We had just a little under 2,000 runners and it went very good. We had a great amount of cooperation with the town, county and they really helped us out.” Hrycenko added that planning of the event involved a 20-member committee headed by Tom Costello. He said the planning involved several meetings held throughout the year where security concerns and other lo-
gistics were addressed. He said this marked the fourth year for the event, which benefits the MARSOC Foundation that supports U.S. Marines who have been injured and assists families of Marines. U.S. Marine Colonel Nick Vavich of the command office of the Marine Support Group at MARSOC was present at the event and was very pleased with the outcome. “My overall feeling is amazement at the support of the community and the level of genuine patriotism and community spirit. It was not just flag waving but a real sense of care for one’s neighbors and their support,” Vavich said. “I met with many veterans who served in Vietnam and World War II today,” Vavich said as he was periodically stopped by people stopping to thank him for his service to the nation and shaking his hand. “It really was a great day.”

BlueClaws Home Runs Equal Cash For Veterans
By Sara Grillo TOMS RIVER – Thirteen local charities will receive $43,000 in grants thanks to Home Runs for Heroes, a program between OceanFirst Foundation of Toms River, Townsquare Media and the Lakewood BlueClaws. Grants from Home Runs for Heroes offer fi nancial support to charities that meet emergency basic needs of veterans and local service men and women who are active or retired, as well as their families, during difficult times. During baseball season, each charity partner is tied to an inning at a BlueClaws game at FirstEnergy Park, and every home run hit by a player earns them a $1,000 donation. Now in its 9th year, the Home Runs for Heroes program has awarded local charities over $260,000. “The 2017 season was a great success and we’re delighted that the BlueClaws hit lots of home runs resulting in a $43,000 donation by OceanFirst Foundation. We thank the BlueClaws organization and Townsquare Media for giving us the opportunity to work together to bring much needed relief to local military families
with special needs,” said Katherine Durante, Executive Director of OceanFirst Foundation. On September 29 OceanFirst Foundation executives were at FirstEnergy Park to personally hand out grants to the following Home Runs for Heroes charity partners: American Recreational Military Services (A.R.M.S.) – $1,000 American Red Cross – $8,000 Army Emergency Relief – $1,000 Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton (Emergency Services) – $5,000 Chariot Riders (Horses for Heroes) – $4,000 Citizens Veterans Advisory Committee – $1,000 GI Go Fund – $4,000 Jewish Federation/Take the Wheel – $4,000 Lt.

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

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of september 30 - October 6
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Put several irons into the fire. There’s no reason to limit your progress when you are capable of handling multiple tasks this week. Your creative ideas may come to the forefront but you may need someone else’s aid to make it work. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Stick with what works. Don’t waste time worrying over areas and aspects that you find difficult when you can excel by simply doing what you do well. Be aware you will be the center of attention in the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Speak from the heart. If you just say what you feel and don’t try to over think an issue, you’ll have no problem making a good impression in the week to come. Devote extra time to a hobby to provide a much-needed escape. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can’t have it both ways. This week both business and family may demand your attention and you’ll need to decide which has the greater priority. A close friend could be counted on to come through for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t get emotionally involved. Someone’s irrational behavior may have you ready to lose your cool this week, but if you can keep your temper in check the solution should become clear. Maintain an objective view of everything. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A good chess player anticipates his next move. Make decisions carefully in the week ahead, keeping in mind future events could have an impact on whatever choice
you make. Create a pleasant environment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Build it to last. As this week unfolds, when you make a commitment to something your word should be as good as gold. Avoid just telling someone what they want to hear as no one will benefit in the long run. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Conventional wisdom may not apply. You may not get to the bottom of a problem unless you come up with a creative solution. Put good ideas to work this week, as they’ll do little good stuck in your head. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Share your thoughts. You may find satisfaction by expressing yourself through creative or artistic outlets this week. Others may gain insight into what makes you tick when you engage them in deep, meaningful discussions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put your own spin on it. While someone else’s methods may not work for you, there may be certain aspects of their ideas that you can put to good use. Don’t be too quick to make a final judgment this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Give a loved one a long leash. Give someone near and dear the space to do what they want in the week ahead. Making too many demands could result in a rebellion. A dream may not be too far-fetched. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): March to your own beat. What works for everyone else may not work for you this week. Follow your instincts and intuition. Others may mean well, but the advice you receive could steer you in the wrong direction.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen When Is A Schnitzel Not A Wiener Schnitzel? When You Make It Holstein-Style! By Wolfgang Puck
Food lovers talk a lot about “secret menus” at their favorite restaurants (usually fast-food places) that clue people in on all sorts of special variations they order - only if they know about them. But even at fi ne restaurants, like my original Spago in Beverly Hills, there are secret items that anyone with the inside knowledge can ask for. One of the biggest secrets is the fact that, whether it happens to be on the day’s menu or not, you can get a Wiener schnitzel, the thin, crisply breaded and deep-fried veal cutlet that’s a specialty of Austria’s capital, Vienna (or Wien in my native language). I find it interesting, though, when people refer to the dish simply as a schnitzel, because that word is too broad to refer to the Viennese favorite alone. When translated, schnitzel means “little slice.” And in meaning it’s no different from the most common English equivalent: “cutlet.” Like cutlets, schnitzels can be made from a wide variety of meats beyond veal, including pork, chicken and turkey; in fact, growing up, my mother and grandmother usually made them for us with pork, far less expensive than veal. The variety doesn’t end there, either. There are also so many different styles of schnitzel recipes across Austria and Germany. Depending on the restaurant and the region, you might find dishes like zigeuner (gypsy-style) schnitzel sauteed with tomatoes, peppers, and onions; Munchner (Munich-style) schnitzel lightly spread with horseradish or mustard underneath its breadcrumb coating; Jager (hunter-style) schnitzel, smaller slices sauteed and served with a woodland mushroom sauce; and so many more. One of my favorite schnitzels, however, is a Holsteiner version. It was first created in a Berlin restaurant in the late 19th century for an important customer, German statesman Friedrich von Holstein. It appears he liked rich, piquant flavors, for his schnitzel was first lightly floured and then sauteed in both butter and oil; then, the pan drippings were transformed into a sauce with chicken stock, concentrated veal stock (for which I substitute a little barbecue sauce), lemon juice and capers; and fi nally served topped with a fried egg and garnish of anchovy fillets (which you can certainly omit if you aren’t a fan). I know this may all seem unusual at first. But think about it and you might suddenly realize that your mouth begins to water. Mine does. It’s a delicious combination of flavors. It’s also much easier to make than a Wiener schnitzel, requiring no deep frying. I haven’t yet added it to any secret menus in my restaurants. But you never know... HOLSTEI N ER SCH N ITZEL W ITH FRIED EGG Serves 4 4 boneless slices veal or pork cut from the leg
or loin, each 6 to 7 ounces (185 to 215 g) 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper About 3/4 cup (185 mL) vegetable oil 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter 4 large eggs 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality low-sodium store-bought chicken stock or broth 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 1/2 tablespoons good-quality bottled barbecue sauce 2 tablespoons drained capers 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh Italian parsley 16 anchovy fillets, patted dry with paper towels, optional First, pound and flatten the meat: Place a veal or pork slice in a large, heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Close the bag loosely. With the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the meat to a thin, even cutlet about 1/8-inch (3-mm) thick. Repeat with the remaining meat. Spread the flour on a large plate. Working with one cutlet at a time, season on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge both sides of each cutlet in flour, coating completely and then tapping off excess flour. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300 F (150 C). Place a rack on a large rimmed baking sheet. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter. With tongs, add a cutlet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook the other side. Transfer to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Cook the remaining 3 cutlets the same way, using a little more oil and butter as needed. When you’ve finished cooking the meat, fry the eggs. Heat the remaining oil and all but 4 tablespoons of the remaining butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, swirling to blend. Sprinkle in some salt and pepper. When the butter foams, break each egg one at a time into a bowl and then slide it into the pan, spacing them apart. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft, 2 to 3 minutes, basting the tops of the eggs with the hot butter and oil as they cook. Meanwhile, pour off and discard the fat from the skillet in which you cooked the cutlets. Return the skillet to the stove over medium-high heat and add the chicken stock, lemon juice and barbecue sauce, whisking to deglaze the pan deposits. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the capers and season to taste with pepper. Swirl in the parsley. Remove the skillet from the heat. To serve, transfer the cutlets to individual serving plates. Top each with a fried egg, including some butter from the pan. Spoon the pan sauce and capers over and around each serving. Arrange the anchovies on top. Serve immediately.
