By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Central Regional students Charles Tice and Nikolas DeVoe were honored at a recent Board of Education meeting for their selfless bravery. Both of them are cadets in the Junior ROTC program. Master Sgt. Sherlock Grant, who supervises the cadets, presented these Certificates of Heroism to the boys.

“These medals of heroism are not easily won,” he said, explaining how the request for them go through several stations, making its way up to the Pentagon. “Every individual cadet would have done the

same thing if they were in their place,” he said. Cha rles Tice explained how he happened upon a fight in the high school. “A nother st udent brought two steel balls in a sock in order to

By Chris Christopher TOMS RIVER – At an age where most former coaches are content to watch highlights of their teams, Tom Westen continues to coach. “I live basketball,” said Westen, 64, the firstyear head coach of the Ocean County College women’s team. “I like teaching it. I love coaching it. I am still young enough. Rollie Massimino was 71 and still coaching. Jim Calhoun is still coaching. The old guys like Calhoun are still doing it. It was kind of a no-brainer when they (school officials) offered it to me.” Turns out school officials did not have to look far to find a new coach. Westen spent 2015-2017 serving as an OCC assistant coach under former Brick Memorial High School and Montclair State University player Kathryn Lamastra, now the second assistant (Coach - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 coach at West Virginia Wesleyan. The Vikings enjoyed success with Lamastra and Westen running the team. In Lamastra’s second season as their head coach, the Vikings were 25-6 and placed seventh in the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III Tournament at Brookdale Community College in Middletown. They won the Region XIX Tournament to qualify for the event. The team was 17-11 last season. Lamastra’s three-year overall record at OCC was 50-29. Westen has been around the block more than once. The former St. Joseph of Toms River (now Donovan Catholic) player has also served as the head women’s coach at Georgian Court College (now Georgian Court University), the head boys coach at Donovan, the head girls and boys coach at Wall and the head girls coach at Mater Dei Prep. He took Georgian Court’s Lions to a 79-39 record and was a two-time conference and district Coach of the Year. He led Donovan’s Griffins to a 12-12 record. Wall’s Crimson Knights were 63-127 in boys play under Westen and their girls team was 87-62. Mater Dei was 10-14 with Westen at the helm. Westen also coached St. Joseph’s junior varsity boys team and was the Griffi ns’ assistant athletic director and assistant boys coach. He retired as a health and physical education teacher at Wall. “I get up in the morning, walk on the boardwalk and get ready for practice,” said Westen, a graduate of the University of Rio Grande in Ohio. “It is kind of cool.” The Vikings figure to sorely miss the graduated Courtney Hagaman. The former Manasquan player last year led NJCAA Divisions I, II and III (OCC competes in the latter group) in scoring, averaging 30.3 points per game. The Toms River resident was named a Division III third-team all-american. Hagaman, a guard, is a junior member of the Winthrop University team. The lone returnee from last season’s team is 5-foot-6 sophomore point guard Sydney Ulrich, a former Brick Memorial player. She averaged 9.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. The ex-Mustang was a shooting guard and small forward last year. “I am hoping she can up her scoring average from last season,” Westen said. “She is our captain. I have convinced her to put her

She won’t have to worry about her teammates passing her the ball. She is our best player so moving her to point guard was a no-brainer on my part. She is an outside threat. “Courtney drove to the basket. I want Sydney to take the ball to the hole if she can. I want her to shoot and score first and pass second.” OCC appears strong up front where Westen expects production from 6-foot-2 freshman center Jessica Toplawski, a Monsignor Donovan graduate, and 6-foot-2 freshman power forward Lyanla Donaldson, who played for Lakewood. “We have two good inside players who I am kind of excited about,” Westen said. “They are very good options for Sydney. Jessica is very good around the basket. She has great hands and a nice, soft shooting touch. We need her to score inside. Lyanla rebounds, throws the outlet pass and runs the floor. I am excited about her. She can be very, very good. They will give us more size than we have ever had before.” Another ex-Lakewood player who hopes to make a positive impact on the team is 5-foot freshman guard Ashely Vargas. “She and Donaldson played together so that is a big plus,” Westen said. “They are used to each other. Vargas is our spark plug. She brings us a lot of energy and hustle. She is constantly on the go and constantly talking. She likes to play the game.” Vargas’ sister, Carolay Vargas, a 5-foot freshman guard from Lakewood, is another high energy player. “She is similar to her sister as she is always moving and always talking,” Westen said. “She could be our first guard off the bench.” Natalie Wowkanyn, a 5-foot-10 sophomore out of Brick Memorial, gives the Vikings versatility. “She can play either small forward or power forward,” Westen said. “She is trying to learn both positions. She is the glue we need. She is able to do a lot of different things. She knows we don’t need her as a scorer per se. She likes to play defense. She will help us on our three-quarter and half court presses. She is a very good athlete who will hold us all together.” The team’s oldest player is freshman Melissa Lewis, 27, a 5-foot-8 forward who hails from Tennessee and resides in Jackson (Coach - See Page 5)

Continued From Page 4 Township. A former member of the United States Armed Forces, Lewis attended Middle Tennessee State. “Much like Natalie, she is learning the small forward and power forward positions,” Westen said. “She has size and runs the floor well.” Also hoping to make contributions are 5-foot-5 freshman guard Cassie Gravelle, a Wisconson native and a Toms River resident, and former Central player Victoria Britton, a 5-foot-4 freshman guard. Gravelle also plays softball for the Vikings. “She is an athlete who runs the floor,” Westen said. “She is helping us out. We needed bodies so we recruited her off the softball team. She is learning as she goes. You can tell she is an athlete. “Victoria, who had never played basketball, made our team on her hustle. She is learning. She is really enjoying herself. As she learns the system, she will play better.” OCC will have a diversified style of play. “We want to mix it up,” Westen said. “We want to press, be able to move the chess pieces and give our opponents something to think about. We want to constantly change our defenses and our players are picking up on that concept. We want to run a transition offense before we get into our set offense. “The players have picked up the two offenses we have installed. If we hold teams in the 50s, we should have enough offense to beat people. I really believe our inside game will surprise people as we did not have that last year.” Westen is optimistic of success for the Vikings. “Our goal is just to be competitive,” he said. “I think we will be OK. We can finish maybe third or fourth in our conference (the Garden State Athletic Conference) and still have a pretty good year. We lost 30 points per game with Courtney graduating and people know it. They may look past us and say, ‘You have a bunch of freshmen.’ We might sneak up on people.” The Vikings’ first-year assistant coach is

The Berkeley Times, November 11, 2017, Page 5 former Southern Regional and Kutztown University player Avery Hodgson, who competes in practice. “She is a great addition for me,” Westen said. “We hit it off from day one. Because we have only nine players on the team, we do a lot of four-on-four and dummy stuff. Avery fills in and is still young enough to get up and down the court. I coached against her team when I was at Wall. We had only six girls on the team last season.” Westen hopes to attract all-around athletes to future teams. “We want to have multi-sport athletes and for years OCC has done that,” he said. “We will take anyone if they are interested and want to keep playing basketball. Height is important, but it does not have to be. “OCC is a well-kept secret. All OCC needs is dorms and it is a major college. I will stay in Ocean County for recruiting. Students can go here and work on their skills.” Westen said former OCC players April Szymczyk (Jackson Liberty) and Lauren Lamastra (coach Lamastra’s sister and a Brick Memorial graduate) are on the rosters of Rowan University and Stockton University, respectively.

She also leaves behind two children, Harrison, 2, and Henry, 4, and two stepchildren, Cole, 11, and Reagan, 15. Police Chief Karin DiMichele said Wray began her career in 2008, being assigned to the Patrol Division. It didn’t take long for her to be promoted to sergeant in 2015. “Sgt. Wray was known for her intelligence, compassion and dedication to her officers whom she considered family,” DiMichele said in a message from the department. “Please keep Sgt.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL How To Turn An Election Loss Into A Win If the candidate you backed has lost, or if you were the candidate who lost, you can’t let that stop you from making your community better. Take something that you care about and volunteer. Do you want to improve the environment or open space? There are plenty of local groups with those same goals. Do you want more recreation in your town? Volunteer to help out for a team or club. Do you want to decrease taxes? Of course you do. Get a copy of your town’s budget, educate yourself, and make suggestions for change (They might fall on deaf ears, but at least you will have tried). Every town is in need of volunteers. Sometimes, all you have to do is ask who needs help. There are always boards and commit-

tees that need dedicated people. Often, they are so low profile, that the usual politically-involved people don’t want to be on them. So, there might be an opening. Religious groups and nonprofits are always eager to find people with the right motivation to help. Now that the election results are in, the winning candidates are setting their goals for the upcoming years. The losing candidates are not. Why is that? If you believed strongly enough in something to run for office, why not continue to do good in your community? There are other ways – and often better ways - to affect change than politics.

Letters To The Editor New Jersey Carries Other States President Trump administration officials and members of Congress are implying that high tax states are getting an unfair advantage because taxpayers in those states are able to deduct their high property taxes and state income taxes from their federal tax returns. The irony is that those states get the least return of federal funds of tax dollars sent to Washington, D.C. According to the most recent studies, one year the variation ranged from 61 cents to 2.02 dollars and another year the variation ranged from 50 cents to 3.33 dollars returned to the states. New Jersey was listed as the lowest at 61 cents and 48th out of 50 in the other year. To put it in prospective, to make New Jersey even, the federal government would have to send New Jersey an additional $15 billion or more. New Jersey’s budget for 2018 is $36 billion. If the federal government sent an additional $15 billion, the state could eliminate the state income tax or eliminate the sales tax and cut the income tax by 33 percent. According to the studies, approximately 17 states subsidize the other 33 states. The reason New Jersey is the highest taxed state is not necessarily because the state and local governments are doing anything wrong, it is because New Jersey is carrying the heaviest burden of federal expenditures. A segment of Texas residents has been talking about secession and their state is for all intents, even. Ironically there

Just Say No To Xenu’s Fraud Many New Jerseyans are in need of a treatment program, to help break free from the grasp of addiction to drugs like heroin/opiates or a drinking problem. Families have often sent loved ones to multiple programs in the hopes of sobriety. But let’s not make a bad situation worse, and lose your money to a scam. In an internet search for drug treatment programs, a group called “Narconon” will likely be a result. At times the group will operate treatment referral pages that mask their true operator. On their websites, they falsely claim 75 percent success rates. These rates are bogus. Narconon is operated by the Church of Scientology, and bases their programs on brainwashing persons into the ideas of L. Ron Hubbard, and have attracted allegations of fraud, in addition to negligence when deaths have occurred in their sci-fi quack programs. Narconon is not a medical program. Its staff has no bona fide medical qualifications. Sales staff are trained to manipulate the dynamics of a family in crisis, and are paid thousands of dollars per patient enrolled. Despite a similar name, Narconon has no links to Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous whatsoever. Communities, elected officials, schools, and even

NFL Players Should Stand For Something Greater A current phase of “Black Power” assertion is being played out on football fields throughout the nation. Players denigrating our flag by kneeling or sitting when our National Anthem is played. This has now transgressed to seven and eight year old children who play Pee Wee football taking a knee during playing of the National Anthem. The NFL players who are aiming to call attention to their plight of suffering under the yoke of police brutality should stop, and recall the actions of a frail lady, Rosa Parks, who by sitting on a bus, without the glare of cameras, PR agents, reporters or thousands of people viewing her courageous action, stood taller by sitting, than these behemoth football players who kneel, but do nothing to aid communities

assistance or presence. Her actions created more change than the combined actions of all the NFL teams and their allied spokespersons. At present there are reports the football commissioner may present an edict that players must stand for the Anthem or remain off field during its playing. On the battle field our soldiers, sailors or Marines do not have that option, they are on the field, “the battle” field, facing an enemy whose only desire is to kill them. When they are on their knees, it is to pray that they are not maimed or killed, but this does not deter them from fulfilling their military duties. After battle they are not able to return their sumptuous homes, kiss their wives or hug their children as football players do. Military men give thanks, on their knees; they are praying to see another day. Those who were never on foreign soil to watch old glory go up the flag pole at morning colors, or stood at attention during evening retreat when colors were lowered, or when the band sounded off and played the “Star Spangled Banner,” and your spine tingled with pride. We as Americans do not march in lock step to any one thought or ideology, we are free to speak our minds, free to join any church or any political group, but with that freedom comes a responsibility. As Supreme Court Justice Frankfurter wrote, “free speech does not give you the right to shout “fire” in a crowded assembly.” I believe many activists - liberal, Democrat, conservative or Republican, black or white have come close to breaching that decree. Whatever fault you may find in our society, rather than shouting fire, look for the water hose, put out the fire, then work to correct what inequity you may find. The motto used by the Knights of Columbus is “It is better to light one candle, then to curse the darkness.” In our own way, let us light that one candle, that will perhaps bring light to our divided country and world.

Ocean County Authorities I.D. Body Found In The Toms River

By Jason Allentoff SOUTH TOMS RIVER - The body of a homeless man who fell into the Toms River while apparently intoxicated was pulled out by law enforcement officials. According to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, 51-year-old Edward Kosar had been seen drinking alcohol earlier in the day and was seen stumbling on surveillance video. Eyewitnesses at the scene say Kosar lost his balance and fell into the river around

2:48 p.m. Nov. 2. They immediately phoned 911. Several local units were dispatched. Kosar’s body was found floating facedown in the water, with help from an Ocean County Sheriff’s Department drone. The New Jersey State Police Marine Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, Ocean County Sheriff’s Department, Toms River PD and several surrounding area fire departments had responded. At press time, an investigation is ongoing.

However, on Sept. 25, he rescued another woman who was caught in a rip current. “I came home from school, and walked to the beach to check the waves because I surf. I saw a man and a woman swimming. I figured they were too far out, so I stood and watched,” he said. He estimated that they were about 90 feet out, and were trying to make their way in, but seemed to be having trouble. When the man got to shore, he started waving for help. DeVoe said he then dropped off his shirt, socks and shoes by a beachgoer, and told him to watch his stuff and call 911. He then swam out and brought the woman back in.

Red Cross Issues Winter Weather Safety Tips

NEW JERSEY – As winter approaches, the American Red Cross encourages people to ready themselves for the colder weather and winter storms. “The time to prepare for inclement weather is before it threatens our area,” said Ana Montero, regional CEO, American Red Cross New Jersey Region. “We encourage everyone in New Jersey to take steps to prepare for any winter weather that may come our way.” Get vehicles ready for winter: Have a mechanic check the tires, battery, brakes and antifreeze levels. Make sure vehicles are ready for winter with a window scraper, shovel, kitty litter or sand in case wheels get stuck, and a disaster supplies kit in the trunk. Suggested supplies include high-protein snacks, water, first aid kit, flashlight, phone charger, small battery-operated radio, an emergency contact card with names and phone numbers, blankets and extra clothes including socks, hats and gloves. Check emergency kits: Don’t wait for a winter storm. Now is a good time for people to check the contents of the emergency kit in their home should a storm require them to shelter in place. Restock missing items and replace items that may have expired. The emergency kit should include: a three-day supply of water per person, generally one gallon per person per day; a three-day supply of nonperishable food; flashlights; battery powered or hand-crank radio; extra batteries; first aid kit; seven-day supply of medicines; multipurpose tools; sanitation and personal hygiene items; copies of personal documents such as medication list and pertinent medical information, proof of

Heat safety tips: The Red Cross urges everyone to follow these safety steps when using alternate heat sources. Maintain heating equipment and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected every year. Space heaters should sit on a level, hard surface and anything flammable should be kept at least three feet away. If using a fireplace, use a glass or metal fire screen large enough to catch sparks and rolling logs. Do not use a stove or oven to heat the home. Turn off space heaters and make sure fireplace embers are out before leaving the room or going to bed. Weather alerts and first aid tips: People can download the free Red Cross Emergency App for instant access to winter storm tips and weather alerts for their area and where loved-ones live. Expert medical guidance and a hospital locator are included in the free First Aid App in case travelers encounter any mishaps. Both apps are available to download in app stores or at redcross.org/apps.

Water Main Installation May Interrupt Service

BERKELEY – SUEZ will begin installation of new water mains and renewing water services in neighborhoods of Bedivere Court, Brussels Court, Burlington Court, Dupont Court, Hampshire Court, Pala Street, St. Andrew’s Court, Walesa Court and Wiltshire Court, now through Dec. 31, with an anticipated restoration phase by Spring 2018. Construction procedures have been developed to minimize disruption of service, and SUEZ will be working in conjunction with its contractor, J.F. Kiely Construction Company. The project comprises the replacement of approximately 4,550 feet of 8-inch ductile iron water pipe and 750 feet of 6-inch ductile iron water pipe. Anticipated work schedules are weekdays from 7 a.m. through 5 p.m., daily and Saturdays from 9 a.m. through 4 p.m. The construction work for each cul-de-sac includes

connection of water mains on the following streets: Cabrillo Boulevard, Encinitas Drive, Hampshire Road, Millbrook Drive, Oakfield Road, Ramona Drive, and Westport Drive. SUEZ recognizes that temporary water service shutdowns are inconvenient, and we apologize, but please understand that this project enables SUEZ to enhance water quality, service and sustainably manage its water systems. Please rest assured that specific dates and times for temporary water shutdowns will be communicated, in advance, to each resident affected by the project. Please note that to allow for safe movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic during the project, appropriate local law enforcement will be assisting at the work sites to ensure the safety of residents and workers. In preparation for each temporary shutdown and to minimize the disruption, SUEZ recommends that customers fill containers with water for drinking and cooking. Customers can also fill sinks or bathtubs and use that water for washing and flushing the toilet. Customers may experience discolored water during and shortly after the shutdown. These are harmless minerals that have accumulated in the mains, and while the water is safe to drink, customers should run their cold water tap for approximately five minutes or until the water is clear. For more information, call SUEZ at 732349-0227.

Grunin Center To Host Yankee’s Todd Frazier

OCEAN COUNTY – New York Yankee Todd Frazier comes home to Toms River for An Evening with Todd Frazier on Jan. 19 at 8 p.m. at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College. This moderated lecture will take place on the Main Stage, Grunin Center, OCC Main Campus, College Drive in Toms River. Hometown baseball hero Todd Frazier will join fans from his native Toms River for an evening of baseball talk. Along with moderator veteran sports anchor Russ Salzberg, Frazier will discuss his experiences playing baseball and growing up in Toms River all the way through his current Major League Baseball success. Known just as much for his down-to-earth personality and perpetually sunny disposition as his All-Star play, Frazier is no stranger to the public eye. He first gained international fame at age 12 when he led Toms River to the 1998 Little League World Series title by going 4 for 4 with a home run in the championship game. A first-round draft pick of the Cincinnati Reds in 2007, Frazier quickly endeared himself to fans. He became known for his walk-up music (Frank Sinatra, in a nod to his Jersey roots), rescuing a choking stranger with the Heimlich maneuver, and following through on a promise to “homer” for Teddy Kremer, an adult with Down syndrome. Frazier was traded to the Chicago White

Sox after the 2015 season and proceeded to steal the hearts of Chicago fans. Then, before the 2017 trade deadline, the White Sox dealt Frazier to the New York Yankees. In New York, Frazier has established himself as a positive clubhouse presence and a key player in the Yankees’ push to the playoffs and, against the odds, journey to the seventh game of the AL Championship Series. Frazier was behind the calling card of the 2017 Yankees when a Mets fan reacted to his home run at Citi Field with a “thumbs down” gesture, Frazier started repeating it after every hit, and the entire team soon followed. Cincinnati manager Bryan Price told ESPN, “Todd is … just a regular guy. He’s not the big Johnny Ballplayer [who says], ‘I’m important and I don’t do XYZ anymore because I’m an All-Star.’ He comes across as a much more original, genuine, normal human being than a lot of players turn into when they start to get some acclaim.” Grunin Center Subscriber Tickets: $25, on sale now through Nov 12. Subscribers must call or visit the Box Office. (General Admission Tickets: $35, on sale Nov 13. General Admission tickets available online or via phone/box office.) Purchase Tickets online grunincenter.org, call 732-255-0500, or visit the Box Office, Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A Pre-Show Meet & Greet will take place for Event Sponsors.

We’re here to help you. Sneezing and congestion may be the most obvious symptoms of seasonal allergies, but these annual annoyances can also cause lasting damage to your hearing. If you experience seasonal allergies, you’re no doubt familiar with the itching, sneezing and congestion that grows with the new flowers each spring. These are the typical symptoms of a seasonal allergic reaction, but there’s one symptom that you may not be aware of, hearing loss. Less common than other allergy symptoms and often mild, this kind of hearing loss is frequently overshadowed by other debilitating effects like sneezing and itchy eyes. Fortunately, most forms of allergy-related hearing loss are the result of congestion. The eustachian tubes – small vents in the back of the throat that regulate air pressure in the middle ear – can become clogged by mucus or swelling as easily as the sinuses or nasal cavity, producing a feeling of fullness in the ear and causing speech to sound distant or muffled. Once the congestion dissipates, the eustachian tubes usually clear and hearing returns to normal. On rare occasions, though, the eustachian tubes don’t clear, which can result in a burst eardrum.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Build A Better Brain With DHA By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. I bet you feel like you used to be smarter and quick at making decisions. I hear you and at 52, I feel like my brain is still fairly sharp but not like it was at 30. Let me ask you some personal questions: Do you forget things easily? Do you get derailed from a task easily or distracted by sounds and noises? What about your IQ? When my now 24-year-old son was just 9, a doctor thought he had ADHD, and I came this close to putting him on a stimulant. Even though I declined the medicine, I used natural fish oils high in DHA. He turned out to be naturally brilliant without any of those prescribed stimulants. I’m not trying to alarm you about medications, but you should be informed so you can choose the best option for your loved ones. DHA fish oils are known to support a healthy brain and attention span in all people, young and old. Studies have involved children and teenagers who had low levels of DHA and they, not surprisingly, had poor reading scores as well as behavioral problems. Could these children benefit from omega 3 supplementation? Low DHA in children aged 7 through 9 were associated with reading and comprehension that was below average, as well as behavioral issues. Why aren’t physicians considering DHA supplementation as a first-line treatment? Probably because the pharmaceutical sales people aren’t hyping those up. Some studies point to DHA supplementation as a method of increasing overall intelligence as you get older.

Can you imagine?! They based this finding on kids between the ages of 3 and 5 years old who had received omega 3 fat supplements as infants. Those kids outscored children who were in the placebo group who did not get the omega fats. By “outscored” I mean they had better results across the board on bot vocabulary and intelligence tests. Omega-3 fatty acids seem to boost and balance your brain function. Basically, I’m saying we’re all fatheads and need good fats for our brain which consists of lipophilic cells. About 60 percent or slightly more brain material is comprised of fat. Of the total fat, DHA makes up approximately 20 percent of your brain’s cerebral cortex. That’s the part of your brain that helps you think, learn a language, correctly perceive things, reason and comprehend. It is involved in voluntary movement so when you think I need to pick up that pen, your arm automatically does that for you, compliments of your cerebral cortex. DHA plays an undeniable role for your cerebral cortex and your nerves. It’s found in unusually high levels in your neurons (the cells of your brain and spinal cord). That’s why patients with a TBI (traumatic brain injury) are told to take omega 3 fatty acids that are high in DHA content. When you combine DHA fish oil with vitamin D or the calming mineral magnesium, the result can be even more astonishing, especially if you have other signs of cognitive decline such as memory loss, senior moments and problems making decisions.

Inside The Law Why Do I Need A Power Of Attorney?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, II Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

In the past you may have made an appointment with your attorney to prepare a Last Will and Testament and Living Will, however, you may not realize the importance and convenience of a Power of Attorney. A Power of Attorney can be crucial during a time of disability. Additionally, a Power of Attorney can be useful if you are on vacation and unable to perform simple everyday decisions. A Power of Attorney can be useful for people of all ages. A Power of Attorney enables you to identify a trusted family member or close friend as Attorney-in-Fact. The power of the Attorney-in-Fact is determined by the type of Power of Attorney that you execute. A Durable Power of Attorney grants another person the ability to act on your behalf, regardless of illness. The scope of the Durable Power of Attorney can be very broad encompassing all fi nancial, banking and personal decisions. For example, this Power of Attorney allows the Attorney-in-Fact to pay bills, borrow money, complete tax, medical and other forms for you. In addition, you may name an Alternate Attorney-in-Fact, if your fi rst choice is unable or unavailable to act on your behalf. In contrast, a Limited Power of Attorney is very narrow in scope. This would limit the Attorney-in-Fact’s authority to act on your behalf only if you become disabled. While this document is executed prior to the onset of a disability, it can only be used if and when, but not before you become disabled. In order for the Limited Power of Attorney

to become effective, you may need a physician’s written report to confi rm you are disabled and unable to manage your personal and fi nancial affairs. You may need a Power of Attorney if you are out-of-state or country on vacation, and require someone to act on your behalf. For instance, you may appoint a family member, close friend or your attor ney as Attorney-in-Fact to complete a real estate closing. In this case the Power of Attorney would specifically outline the purpose, time period and extent of the Attorney-in-Fact’s authority. This power would be only for the purpose of closing or selling and expire after the closing is complete. In addition, the specific property would be identified in the Power of Attorney, therefore, limiting the closing power to only the specific property. Whether you are traveling away from home, planning for the future or have a loved one with disabilities, a Power of Attorney can be the best way to ensure the appropriate decisions and duties are carried out for you or your loved ones.

Shea & Associates is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation & Wills, Trust & Powers of Attorney.

Prosecutor Wants Life Term For Armed Robber

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – An armed robbery defendant was found guilty on numerous charges in late October. Toms River resident Michael Allan Guerino, 53, was found guilty of first degree armed robbery, third degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, third degree aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, fourth degree unlawful possession of a weapon, and fourth degree theft on Oct. 25 before Superior Court judge Therese A. Cunningham, J.S.C. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 15. Guerino, who has more than 30 prior convictions, may face a life term, which the State is seeking. On Jan. 29, 2016, Guerino entered the Dollar Tree on Hooper Avenue at about 9:40 p.m, clothed in a hooded sweatshirt and gloves. The prosecutor’s office said he approached the 24-year-old female cashier, pretending that he would purchase a candy bar, but instead walked behind the counter and drew a knife, pressing it into the cashier’s back. Guerino demanded she open the register and “threatened to “stick” her if she tried to call for help. When the cashier was unable to open the register, Guerino ripped the cash drawer from the register. He fled with $234.96 and the cash register drawer. After investigating, the Toms River Police executed a search of 48 Gower Court, where

Guerino lived. Police found the clothing worn by Guerino the night of the robbery. He was identified by the cashier as well. The jury of nine women and three men only took three hours to indict Guerino on all five counts. Ocean County Senior Assistant Prosecutor Michael Abatemarco prosecuted this case. Toms River Police Detectives Steven Bucci, Patrick Jacques and Louis Santora all testified at the trial. Toms River Police officers Matthew Broderick and Anthony Claps, along with Ocean County Sheriff’s Officer Ralph Laudicina, also testified.

JCP&L Warns Customers Of Scam

By Jennifer Peacock NEW JERSEY – Jersey Central Power & Light is warning its customers of yet another scam making its way through communities.

No JCP&L representative will demand payment using a prepaid debit card. Customers who receive such calls should contact JCP&L at 800-662-3115.

WE AIN’T JUST GAS...

My Kids Won’t Share

Dear Joel, My wife and I are the proud parents of two little boys ages 5 and 6. We try to provide everything they need and want. We even throw in some extras whenever we can, but they won’t share anything. My wife and I have their futures and our own to plan. It’s such a waste to buy two of everything, when that money could be invested in our futures or even spent on a fun family outing. Is this just a phase? Btw, you only need to answer once, my wife and I will share. Double Trouble, Toms River Dear Trouble, Sounds like you and your wife a practical, fun-loving, generous parents and I’m sure the examples you’re setting will have a very positive impact on your boys. Many children, especially ones so close in age, go through a phase like this. Often, they are each trying to prove that you

like them each equally. They may also be demonstrating their early character development. Watch how they behave. Is one responsible with his toys while the other breaks or loses them? Is one a bully at playtime? Does one think everything they have or do is better? I would incorporate activities like art where they each create a unique item. Also, play family time games where they work together. You can use this phase to show them how much fun sharing is, and then have them share their outgrown toys with others. I think your family will be just fine. 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

PREVENTING DIABETIC ULCERS

Dr. Evan Kelner

For people with diabetes, one of the scariest risks they face is the prospect of diabetic ulcers. These ulcers may quickly become infected and lead to serious complications. In too many cases, this could lead to amputation and impact life expectancy. Diabetic ulcers result from friction to a particular area of the foot. Most people have sufficient feeling in their feet to address the problem as it begins. Unfortunately, many diabetes suffer from neuropathy, or loss of pain sensation. That, in conjunction of insufficient circulation, can cause the breakdown of skin that results in an ulcer. Healing is generally impaired with diabetes. These ulcers easily become infected, and serious complications can occur. The good news is most diabetic ulcers can be prevented. Education of the diabetic patient is the first step. Proper glycemic control, smoking cessation, and general awareness are critical in preventing diabetic ulcers. Reducing the risk may not be enough. Studies have found that prescription therapeutic shoes do, indeed, prevent foot ulcers compared with non-prescription shoes. The patients, of course, need to wear these shoes for most steps during the day. Regular visits to the podiatrist for routine foot care is a critical action needed to prevent diabetic ulcers. Aside from cutting and reducing thick toenail fungus, corns and callouses, a podiatrist will examine the feet and detect signs of impending problems. The old saying, “ an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is more than appropriate in preventing diabetic ulcers. It may save your life. Our office stresses preventive foot care and strives to be part of your healthcare team. We are located at 191 Highway 37 W, Toms River. We can be reached at (732) 286-9200.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of november 11 - november 17

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Someone might appreciate your romantic side in the week ahead. A romantic partner may command your attention and spark your creativity. A friend or social group, however, could distract you from duties. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Good intentions and helpfulness might not be enough, as accuracy and precision are needed to keep all the wheels turning smoothly. Initiate important financial and business projects in the second half of the week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Work out details that are sticky by being analytical rather than picky. In the week ahead you might find that someone close vacillates between being generous and economical. You should learn to roll with the punches. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You never appreciate the highs until you get low. It is possible that you see only what you want to see and become disillusioned in the week ahead. Use that energy constructively to put misconceptions to rest. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A brief period of misunderstanding could put you at odds with someone important in the week to come. Romantic yearnings could cause you to ignore wisdom and act against your better judgment, so be discreet. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You understand the value of being practical as well as imaginative. Whatever challenges you encounter in the week ahead can be put into better perspective by getting more information and being more understanding.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Group events and activities might have a pointed agenda. In the week ahead it might be in your best interest to find ways to have a good time with friends. You can plan a shopping spree or a night out with buddies. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may receive pleasant reminders that you are loved and valued as this week unfolds. Focus on making a partnership stronger and enjoy supportive relationships. Your smallest efforts may add up to large achievements. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): All things come to those who wait. This week you can adjust your viewpoint if you focus on being patient. Rather than rehashing the past you can dream about ways you can achieve a better future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Whatever you can imagine can become reality. You may be inspired to do something important in the week ahead. You can count on having the stamina to follow through on a project close to your heart. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Frivolous fantasies could develop in the week ahead. You may have your heart riveted on the wrong person or thing. Your more serious friends could keep you on the right path and misplaced enthusiasms in check. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are able to form a sharp image of a fuzzy concept. Since you have the ability to put your ideas into action your week ahead can be highly productive. Use your creativity and imagination in constructive ways.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Get A Jump On Thanksgiving And Put This Classic Pie Recipe On Your Menu Now By Wolfgang Puck

The fourth Thursday in November comes early this year. With only three weeks to get ready for Thanksgiving, that can put a lot of pressure on those who rightly consider the holiday their biggest home cooking occasion of the year. Let me help you take a major step in your planning by solving the question of what to serve for dessert by sharing this classic Spago version of an all-time holiday favorite: pecan pie. Many people who have tried this version tell me it’s the best pecan pie they’ve ever tasted. But, when you bake it and take a bite yourself, you will probably note that there’s nothing too outof-the-ordinary about it. No chocolate chunks or drizzle, no added spices, not even any of the flecks of bacon that seem to find their way into even sweet recipes these days. It’s a straightforward pecan pie. So, what makes the pie so memorable? Like any really good cooking, it is quality results from an accumulation of small details that all add up to a big, noticeable difference. Let’s start with the pie pastry. I start by making my own rather than using something store-bought. I like to use what the French call pate sucree, which translates simply as “sugar dough,” a very basic pastry that takes just minutes to prepare in a food processor and bakes up especially sweet and crisp. Then there’s the filling. Instead of using vanilla extract to flavor the syrupy mixture that typically binds the pecans together, I start with a whole vanilla bean, scraping its tiny seeds into butter that I melt and brown to enhance the nutty flavor. For the same reason, I also like to add a spoonful of Frangelico, a widely available hazelnut liqueur, which also emphasizes the nuttiness. And I’m proud to say I include just about as many nuts as can fit into the pastry shell; a full pound of them - both a base of chopped pecans and then concentric circles of pecan halves. You won’t find a thin layer of nuts sitting atop a thick layer of syrup in this pecan pie! You’ll also notice that I bake the pie in a tart pan with a removable bottom, available in any wellstocked kitchen supply store or online, rather than a pie pan. That ensures that the filling has an even thickness right up to the edges, for more uniform baking. You may be tempted to give the recipe a try now, three weeks before Thanksgiving. Go ahead! You’ll probably want to make it again and again, all the way through the holiday season.

Position the rack in the center of the oven. Preheat to 375 F (190 C). Meanwhile, lightly but evenly rub the inside of a 9-inch (22.5-cm) tart pan with removable bottom with some butter, or coat with nonstick spray. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the sugar dough into a circle 11 inches (27.5-cm) in diameter. Loosely roll it up on the rolling pin, then unroll over the tart pan, pressing the dough into the pan. With the tip of a knife, carefully trim the edges. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For the filling, put 3 tablespoons butter in a small skillet. With the back edge of a knife, carefully scrape the seeds from each vanilla bean half; add the pod halves and scrapings to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 5 minutes, taking care not to let the butter burn. Scrape the melted butter into a medium mixing bowl; remove and discard the vanilla pod. Add the corn syrup, sugar, whole egg and yolks, and liqueur. Whisk until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until needed. To assemble the pie, place the prepared shell on a baking tray. Spread the chopped pecans over the bottom. Carefully arrange the pecan halves on top, rounded sides up, in concentric circles, starting along the outer edge. Evenly ladle the filling over the nuts, to reach the top of the shell. Place the baking tray in the oven and bake until the filling feels firm when lightly, quickly touched and the edges of the pastry are deep golden brown, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool for about 20 minutes. To unmold, use the back of a spoon or a knife to tap all around the side of the tart pan. Place the pan on top of a wide-mouthed jar or can narrower than the pan. Gently free the outer ring, letting it slip down the side of the jar. Return the pie to the rack to cool completely. Use a sharp knife to cut into wedges. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

PECAN PIE Makes one 9-inch (22.5-cm) pie, serves 8

In a food processor with the stainless-steel blade, combine the flour and sugar, and pulse on and off once or twice. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles fine meal. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of cream. Scrape into the processor bowl and process until a ball begins to form, adding additional cream as necessary to bring the dough together. Carefully remove from the processor bowl and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours. Store any unused dough wrapped airtight in the freezer, thawing overnight in the refrigerator before use.

1 pound (500 g) sugar dough (recipe follows) 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus extra for coating the tart pan 1 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise 1 1/3 cups (335 mL) light corn syrup 2/3 cup (185 mL) packed light brown sugar 1 large egg 3 large egg yolks 1 tablespoon Frangelico or brandy 1/4 pound (125 g) chopped pecans 3/4 pound (375 g) pecan halves Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving
