–Photos by Jennifer Peacock The amenities at Summit Park will see improvements. By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Summit Park is getting a makeover. The park, off Alexander Avenue, had been in need of improvements for years. “It’s as dilapidated as you can get,” Mayor Ken Palmer said. The courts and fencing have already been done. The playground will be replaced. Manchester’s director of public works, Al Yodakis, said for the most part, the township is replacing what is already there
with newer, nicer amenities. The two new changes would be improvements to make the park
more accessible to people with disabilities, and a 30-by-40-foot (Park - See Page 4)

Manchester Council Sounds Off On Heritage
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Members of the governing body gave their opinion of the proposed development plan for the Heritage Minerals site, and it wasn’t a very positive one. To be clear, the township agreed to a settlement with Hovsons, the Pinelands Commission, and the DEP in 2004 for 2,200 homes. The township’s open space plan includes 6,179.7 acres in that land that would be preser ved (The other 995.4 would be developed). However, Hovsons has a new plan for 4,000 homes with recreation, a clubhouse,

Flu Cases Increase
By Jennifer Peacock NEW JERSEY – This is the usual time of year for influenza to take its grip on everyone, from those with robust health to those with weakened immune systems. And whether it’s because of our hyperconnected world, or because this year’s virus really is worse, there is the perception that this season is one for the record books.
“Every season is a bad flu season, generally. That’s something we echo from CDC (Centers for Disease Control). Specifically, this year we are experiencing higher flu-like illness activity in comparison to previous flu seasons, specifically in the areas of emergency department and long-term care facilities,” said Dr. Tina (Flu - See Page 5)
and 40,000 square feet of commercial space. Since it’s a new plan, the developer has to go through the same environmental hearings that it went to before the 2004 settlement. The State Department of Environmental Protection held a hearing, and offered a chance for any local government officials to speak before the residents. Council members were at the hearing, but did not speak before the residents. At the following Township Council meeting, they gave their opinions. “I heard the people’s voices loud and clear,” (Council - See Page 4)
Meeting To Keep Homes Safe From Wildfi res
By Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Is your neighborhood safe from a wildfire? That’s the question that will be asked at a meeting on March 6 at the Whiting Volunteer Fire Company, 120 Lacey Road. There will be two sessions, at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Art Abline, emergency management coordinator, said the goal is to create 100 feet of defensible space around homes. This means cutting out highly flammable brush, and making other efforts to prevent the fire from having any fuel to continue. There are two hotspots in Whiting that they would like to address, he said. Representatives (Wildfires - See Page 4)

have a more strict environmental position than the previous administration. “Based on what I’ve heard about the new commissioner, I think it’s going to be a long, uphill battle” for the developer, he said. Council President Craig Wallis said that the residents wanted answers from the DEP, but that was not the forum for a question and answer period. The DEP was just there to field comments. He said the builder has the right to ask for anything, but there are controls in place. The DEP is a very significant hurdle, but it’s not the only one. Even if the DEP approves the proposal, the final decider is the township’s own land use board.

court were to be redone. Last year, the town revamped another park for approximately $200,000, so the township is prepared to spend that much this time, Palmer said. They will be using money from the open space fund and expect to be reimbursed with Green Acres funding. “We want to get to a point where all of our parks are in pretty good shape, and can just be maintained,” Palmer said.

Flu:
Continued From Page 1 Tan, state department of health assistant commissioner and state epidemiologist. While it’s announced on a Google or print calendar, flu season is usually recognized as starting in October or November, and stretching through to May. While it’s not impossible to catch the flu in the spring and summer months, the warm weather that draws people outside is a killer for the bug. This flu season has been dominated by the AH3N2 strain, which is associated with more severe seasons. The virus poses the greatest threat to young children and those 65 and older, but as Tan said, it sends persons of all ages to the ER. “This season there has been a large number of influenza outbreaks in long term care facilities with more than half of newly report outbreaks for this season have occurred in the last three weeks. We have surpassed the number of outbreaks reported for the last three influenza seasons including the 2014-2015 season,” said Dawn Thomas from the Department of Health’s Office of Communications. Only pediatric influenza deaths are reportable. So far, there have been three deaths reported. In the last five years, the 2012-13 flu season saw the most pediatric flu-related deaths, with seven reported. Last season, there were no reported pediatric flu deaths. Predicting what virus will dominate a season or why some years are seemingly worse than others is fool’s errand, officials said. “Flu in general is pretty unpredictable, so we can’t really predict why one strain might predominate one season over another,” Tan said. Ocean County Influenza throughout Ocean County has been widespread since early December, the county department of health reported. OCHD’s Brian Rumpf confirmed that it’s the H3N2 strain that is hitting the county hardest. “It’s not necessarily worse, the worst that we have seen by any stretch. It’s a bad strain of the flu, and its hit everywhere at once,” Rumpf said. “And this year has had a few other anomalies that have truly caused the flu to be a lot more concerning to a lot of people. Among those anomalies are that this year, the flu is found to be very widespread virtually everywhere in the United States. So we are seeing wide-scale reporting of the flu everywhere from Florida to Alaska and all points in between. That’s somewhat atypical, as usually we’ll see flu hit different pockets of the country at different times of the flu season. That makes it more noticeable, and it’s caught our attention for that reason,” he said. Rumpf continued: “Also this year, most authorities would agree that the flu seems to have started somewhat earlier. There were reports of widespread flu activity as early as November. What that means is that it really had the opportunity to spread during the social holiday season and that simply compounded the number of people who were affected as they traveled back home from the holidays.” With all the cold weather, people have stayed indoors, which makes them more likely to share and spread any illness. Rumpf said vaccinations are still available. The fee is being waived. For the schedule, visit bit.ly/2CtS1m0.
The Manchester Times, February 24, 2018, Page 5 Monmouth County “According to the Centers for Disease Control - All U.S. states but Hawaii and Oregon continue to report widespread flu activity and the number of states experiencing high influenza-like illness (ILI) activity increased from 42 states plus New York City and the District of Columbia to 43 states plus New York City,” Christopher P. Merkel, Public Health Coordinator for the Monmouth County Department of Health, said. “Locally, New Jersey is currently experiencing widespread influenza activity throughout the entire state. Monmouth County is also experiencing high flu activity at this time.” The county’s department of health staff has been working diligently to provide information to its citizens about the severity of this flu season, as well as tips to reduce the risk of exposure, Freeholder Patrick Impreveduto said. He’s liaison to the Monmouth County Health Department. “The Monmouth County Health Department would like to remind residents to wash their hands, cover their cough and stay home from work or school if they are sick,” Impreveduto said.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Kids Hit Home Run In Helping Others Since its inception in the early 1970s, Berkeley Little League has never turned a child away. As long as a true hardship could be verified, any child who wanted to play was welcomed and the fees were adjusted, waived and at times even board members chipped in to cover the cost. In 2016, Berkeley Little League was gifted a scholarship fund in memory of Anthony Marchese, the pop of one of their own players. Several deserving players have already been assisted through the scholarship fund, with several scholarships currently being awarded for the 2018 spring season. Last year, Berkeley Little League experienced a bit of a movement by our teen players. Inspiring each other, it suddenly became cool to give back and volunteer. All over the beautiful Moorage complex on any given day, you could find teenage players coaching a Tee Ball team, being a buddy for a player in the Challenger Division, or helping to maintain the fields. A league that was built upon and thrives on volunteerism enjoyed this new phenomenon - and delighted in the youth of the league’s dedication to
not only the sport, but the community and to each other. And if you thought that Berkeley would stop there, think again. When a few of our teen volunteers found out that one of our scholarship applicants not only needed fees covered, but due to circumstances as a result of family violence, he had left behind all of his treasured baseball gear, they knew what needed to be done. With a grant from the scholarship fund, they took the player on a dream shopping spree. Helmet, glove, bat, cleats, pants, jersey, and bag - all chosen by this young player with help from his new “baseball big brothers.” Then they took him out to lunch, where the topic of conversation was, of course, all things baseball. And before a single pitch is thrown in this 2018 spring season, Berkeley Little League just hit one heck of a dinger.

Letters To The Editor Don’t Arm Teachers If you have never worked in a school or qualified with a firearm please stop advocating that teachers should be armed. First, most of my colleagues have zero interest in carrying. Second, there is a much greater chance of having a negligent discharge or a misplaced weapon or a bad guy getting hold of that weapon than there is of that teacher using it to neutralize a threat. Third, when law enforcement makes entry how would they know that said teacher is not one of the bad guys? Fourth, even sworn law enforcement officers know that it is always a bad idea to be carrying in a crowd. When I was an MP and there was a fight at a bar and we responded, we were ordered to wait outside and handle it there. Running into a crowd poses weapons retention issues. Corrections Officers don’t carry inside a jail for the same reason. Fifth, school budgets are scarce as it is. Expecting them to pay for weapons, ammunition, range time and a stipend is simply not going to happen. Most schools don’t even arm their school safety personnel. Finally, the idea that more guns will make people more safe flies in the face of what the rest of the world is showing us. Schools should have multiple levels of security and be difficult to access. If an intruder tries to get in, these measures will buy time as the authorities respond. We also need to do a better job of enforcing the ‘see something say something’ mindset. Looking at other incidences of school shootings there are always indicators which weren’t appropriately reported or (in the case of Parkland) not appropriately handled once reported. I served four years in the Marine Corps and am a qualified expert with both rifle and pistol. If I wanted to still be a gunslinger I’d be a gunslinger, but I’m a teacher so these days I’ll stick to my compass, protractor,

Pumping Gas Is No Problem Your reader Bill McPhail in the Feb. 3 Jackson Times thinks that a Pump Your Own Gas Bill is “stupid” and suggests that older or infirm people would have a difficult time filling up because it would be hard to learn how to start the pump and then would spill gasoline on their clothes. Really? Are there no senior citizens in the other 49 states? Are the citizens of the rest of the country so much smarter than New Jerseyans in figuring out how to use the pump? And please, Mr. McPhail, let us know the numbers of all the “gas pumping accidents” occurring in other states. I have no problem if there are full service islands available at gas stations, but I should have the right to pump my own if I so choose. Robert Brooks Jackson
The Dems “Free Speech” Is To Censor I am FED UP with Democratic H & R. The rule of each day for these PC non-specific gender people is to ‘search and destroy.’ Their weapons: Hypocrisy and Ridicule. Their targets: Anyone whose disagrees with them or has a different opinion then they share. Since the sixties they have managed to take control of all forms of media, education, and are now advancing toward complete control by launching their final attack against society and the political theater. They have sufficiently indoctrinated enough children
logic. They have mastered the art of hypocrisy claiming free speech as their right while denying it to anyone who dares to disagree. They have taught their followers to voice their opinions while having no facts or information other then any distortion of reality they can conceive of, and when all else fails, attack them physically. Their predecessors, Adolf, Stalin, Chairman Mao, and let us not forget, Kim Jong-il, have set the stage and shown the way for the Democrats. They have taught them to indoctrinate the youth of America, to condemn others of doing what they themselves have done, to stifle any resistance by any means necessary, to attack on a daily basis and pound opposing thought into the ground until it has been wiped from the face of the earth, and to show false empathy for those they want to use for their own ends. From Chuck Schumer’s disingenuous tears to Nancy Pelosi’s grandchild’s birthday wish, their perverted distortions of reality make me sick! Racist, Xenophobe, Deplorable, no matter what is said or done by one who opposes them they label them with constant name calling. Their big one is: Racist. Everyone is a racist, well, the true racists are the Democrats because they use people of different races to gain power and control over them to advance their own agenda. They have forsaken the citizens of America for ‘Immigration Reform.’ “Why, the country was built by immigrants,” they spout, negating their illegal status while classifying them as ‘undocumented.’ Ask yourself a few questions: How many families would be left whole if the “undocumented” had been vetted and entered legally into the US? Do the “undocumented” live where Chuck Schumer lives? Are they at home in Nancy Pelosi’s neighborhood? Am I a “racist” because I support law and order and disdain those who cruelly take advantage of others only to advance their own ends? Bill Miele Whiting
Democratic Congressional Challenger Runs Right of Republicans
Monmouth County Democrats recently held a debate for their three potential challengers to 18-term incumbent Rep. Chris Smith. It was a great event which spotlighted the differences between the candidates, ensuring that voters could make an informed decision in the primary. To my surprise, one of the candidates, Josh Welle, consistently sided with the most conservative Republicans on many issues. On retirement, he took a position on the far right of the aisle, blaming Americans’ retirement problems on a lack of personal fiscal responsibility. He ignored the systemic issues that drive inequality, blaming those who don’t have money for not saving. He took an even more conservative position the Trump tax plan as well, stating we “had to” eliminate the SALT deduction. Rep. Smith himself voted against the tax plan, speaking out strongly against elimination of the SALT deduction which disproportionately hurts New Jersey residents. Welle supported ballooning defense spending — at a time when the country’s defense budget is larger than the next eight biggest nations’ combined — and went on to describe our military as “hollowed out.” The recent increase is historically enormous and is widely seen as a handout to defense contractors. Coincidentally, Welle co-founded a tech company, Severn Pacific, which contracts with the Department of Defense. Previously, in an essay for Harvard Business Review, he explained his view that war is a business opportunity. Welle expresses frustration at being labeled “Republican Light.” I suggest a solution to this problem would be to stop taking such strongly conservative positions. Jim Silverman Holmdel

Smith Partakes in Capitol Hill Ceremony Honoring Monmouth From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, DC Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) participated in the Capitol Hill presentation of the “Outstanding 9-1-1 Call Center Award” to Monmouth County’s 911 Center for its “overall excellence in serving the public.” “At some point in our lives, each of us has or will turn to our first responders
in emergency cases,” Rep. Smith said. “It is paramount that the response be prompt and diligent. I am so proud of Monmouth County’s 911 call center for being a top center in the country for serving our communities with excellence in their moments of greatest need.” Monmouth County 911 Center was honored in
Washington, D.C. at the 15th annual 9-1-1 Honor Awards Ceremony hosted by the NG911 Institute, for its “overall excellence” in its emergency response and its use of technology. The center was one of only two local centers nationwide to be honored with the “Outstanding 9-1-1 Call Center/ Program” award, manifesting its outstanding response time and efficient use of technology in emergencies. Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden was on hand for the presentation of the award, along with Undersheriff Bob Dawson. The call center provides critical services for not only
the citizens of Monmouth County, but also the hundreds of thousands of tourists who vacation on its beaches in the summer. The Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office Communications Division processes over 750,000 emergency calls per year. The call center serves as a dispatch for 56 fire departments, 30 first aid squads, and 20 police squads, as well as Brookdale Community College, Monmouth University, Gateway National Park-Sandy Hook, and Naval Weapons Station Earle. Its primary center is a 45,000 square foot facility with 110 full-time staff
members in Freehold, in Smith’s district, and its backup center is in Neptune, also in Smith’s district; the facilities were upgraded after Superstorm Sandy to prepare for future extreme weather conditions, and they can now operate in a category 5 hurricane. The center was also recognized for its scaling of its IT systems in a fee-for-service model to assist local communities whose response systems may be antiquated and who may not have the resources to upgrade their own systems. By operating as a central command center, the call center also allows local communities to com-
municate with each other during a large-scale crisis. The ceremony also marked the 50th anniversary of 9-11, which began with the first 911 emergency call on February 16, 1968. “With many local communities unable to afford much-needed upgrades to their emergency response systems, Monmouth County’s Sheriff’s Office is providing a way forward for local and regional response centers to adapt to future crises,” Smith said. “I am looking to the center to continue providing firstclass service to local residents. This award is well deserved.”
Menendez, Booker: $110M In Federal Tax Credits To Spur Economic Development
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez, a senior member of the Senate Banking Committee, and Cory Booker announced that the Community Loan Fund of New Jersey, Inc. and the Reinvestment Fund, Inc. have been awarded a total of $110 million through the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) New Markets Tax Credit Program (NMTC) to attract private investment and spur economic activity in low income communities throughout the state. This federal tax credit builds public-private development partnerships by helping to leverage greater private-sector investments than would otherwise be possible. President Donald Trump had proposed a budget that eliminates funding for the CDFI Fund’s discretionary grant and direct loan programs, a cut of $234 million dollars. “New Markets Tax Credits are designed to attract private sector investment in our distressed communities and act as the seed money for growth and prosperity by creating a mutual benefit for both the investor and the commu-
nity,” said Sen. Menendez. “With millions of Americans living in communities with high unemployment, vacant properties, and stagnant incomes, CDFIs provide these communities with real investments that allow them to start small businesses, create jobs, and purchase homes. It is irresponsible for the Trump Administration to slash the CDFI Fund, which has proven to work and succeed in encouraging investment across New Jersey and the nation.” “By unlocking capital for small businesses and bringing investment to distressed economies, New Market Tax Credits play an important role in strengthening local communities, generating economic growth, and creating jobs,” said Sen. Booker. “Since my time as mayor, I’ve been committed to supporting federal programs like this that help lift up some of our most underserved communities while creating pathways of opportunities for all New Jerseyans.” The specific awards to community development organizations making significant investments in New Jersey are:
Community Loan Fund of New Jersey, Inc., New Brunswick: $40 million Reinvestment Fund, Inc., Philadelphia: $70 million “The New Markets Tax Credit program remains an essential tool for attracting much-needed private investment into low-income communities across the state,” said Wayne T.

ital, created jobs, and provided mortgage credit, small business loans, and banking services to spur economic growth in lower-income, distressed communities. In 2016 alone, CDFIs made over 39,000 loans and investments totaling more than $3.6 billion, financed over 11,000 small businesses and over 33,000 affordable housing units. This year, the CDFI Fund is awarding $3.5 billion in NMTCs to 73 organizations in 29 different states and the District of Columbia to support investments across the nation. According to the U.S. Treasury Department, for every dollar invested by
the federal government, the NMTC program generates over $8 of private investment. Investments through the NMTC program, established by Congress in December 2000, have created hundreds of thousands of new jobs, and supported the construction of 178 million square feet of manufacturing, office, and retail space. As the communities benefitting from these investments develop, they become more attractive to investors, creating a ripple effect that spurs more investment. The NMTC program allows individual and corporate taxpayers to receive a

non-refundable tax credit against federal income taxes for making equity investments in vehicles known as Community Development Entities (CDEs). The CDEs in turn use the capital raised to make investments in low-income communities. CDEs that receive the tax credit allocation authority under the program are domestic corporations or partnerships that provide loans, investments, or financial counseling in low-income urban and rural communities. The tax credit provided to the investor totals 39 percent of the cost of the investment and is claimed over a seven-year period.

Gun Regulation Rally Draws Crowd To Downtown Toms River
By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – A student organized rally held Feb. 19 drew a crowd and featured loud voices with a clear message calling for gun restrictions in the wake of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida. The rally was held in the township’s downtown area. After years of incidents involving violent shootings at schools, the latest being at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School where 17 people were killed, students of Toms River High School North decided it was time for students from their schools and others in Ocean County to speak out on the subject. The rally gathered around 60 people. Toms River High School North junior Zach Dougherty, a member of the Young Ocean County Democrats organization, organized the Washington Street based rally along with several fellow students who also served as speakers. Dougherty had organized a similar rally of students last September to add a young voice to the plight of DACA regulations which was threatened to end through a policy change by the president. “It was a grassroots effort and we used Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat to get people involved, which helps bridge the gap to reach the political groups. Students typically get a back seat when it comes to policies but we want to have a voice and be involved in making a change,” Dougherty said prior to the start of the noon rally. The purpose of the rally was to call on President Donald Trump and members of Congress to take action to restrict access to firearms and other actions to prevent additional mass shootings. Among those who gathered early for the event were Susan Cummings and Arlene Marcoe, both of the Cedar Run section of Stafford Township. “We support the students here and their message. We remember the Columbine shooting,” Cummings said. Marcoe said that she and Cummings were members of the Barnegat Friends Quakers who have strong views on gun control. Both women had doubts that positive action to restrict automatic and semi-automatic weapons could be curtailed through legislation on the federal level. “We are concerned for the kids. These are Democrat kids and Republican kids. This is a moral issue. At least if we could get them to abandon assault rifles that would be a step forward. No one is fighting gun ownership but there is a distinction here about what type of guns should be permitted and to whom,” Marcoe said. “I hope the state will make a change as the federal government does not seem to be up to it,” Cummings added. Toms River resident Shirl Giles, a retired teacher from the Toms River School District, said “if children and adults come together they can get things done with the help of parents. Hopefully this will help get something done.” Sherry Derr, also of Toms River, brought signs to the event to protest. She said “I came out as I feel very strongly about what is
happening and the stupidity that is happening. The NRA (National Rifle Association) spent $21 million on presidential election alone and that is alarming.” Derr added that “the 2nd Amendment came about at a time when we were fighting the redcoats and it was never meant to morph into something like this, allowing for everyone to have military weapons like this is beyond my comprehension. Something has to change.” Roseann De Pasquale joined friends from her community of Waretown for the rally. “No one needs to buy assault weapons, for now at least, let’s work to stop assault weapons.” Social activist Emma Mammano of Brick read the names of each of the 17 students and high school staff who were slain during last week’s shooting. Following a moment of silence, Dougherty, Toms River High School sophomore Andreas Psillos, and senior Evelyn Nazario spoke. “For six years there have been debates about this subject but the majority of those in Congress have done nothing. We should be worrying about taking our algebra tests. We shouldn’t have to worry about what exits we need to find in case there is a lockdown at the school,” Dougherty said. “Let’s stop this. We need to elect people who care,” Dougherty said, adding that while mental health issues and added school security are part of the issue “we wouldn’t need more security in schools if it didn’t come to this. This debate is killing our students.” “Our gun laws are almost non-existent due to the NRA,” Psillos said. “Does it make sense that those who are on the no-fly list should not be allowed to own guns?” he asked noting that such a policy plan had been struck down last year. “It is time for a change. We want the right of protection for all students,” Nazario said. Theresa Turner of the organization Mothers Demand Action commended the students who coordinated the rally. “You will be the force for change in our country. If a public official is known to be doing nothing about this problem, vote them out.” That theme and a chant from the crowd reverberated several times with those speakers who followed Turner. Congressman Thomas MacArthur, whose office based in the Toms River Township Hall mere steps away from the rally, was the target of criticism regarding legislation that he put forward concerning carrying concealed weapons. Turner said that the representative’s legislation would have allowed the shooter responsible for last week’s shooting to have brought his weapon to New Jersey. Two 4th District Democratic congressional candidates, Josh Welle, Rumson, and Jim Keady, Spring Lake, who hope to unseat longtime Republican incumbent Chris Smith next November, echoed the call for residents to vote out those who have ignored taking action on the gun regulation issue.

New Interactive Math Program In Manchester Schools
By Kimberly Bosco MANCHESTER – Manchester students from Kindergarten to fifth grade are now able to use interactive tools to help them learn math. The McGraw Hill MyMath ConnectEd Student Edition supports mathematics instruction by allowing students to use virtual tools to practice and apply skills, according to Michelle Nichol, Elementary Supervisor of Instruction. The new instructive tool also allows students and their parents to access the eBook from home, so students aren’t just learning in the classroom. “Personal tutors and homework help
videos provide students and parents with visual representation of math concepts taught in the classroom, learning games allow for additional practice, and the virtual manipulatives assist students in developing a strong understanding of concepts,” said Nichol. “Parents can access these wonderful online materials through the student login credentials distributed by classroom teachers.” These new learning tools were debuted at a recent Superintendent’s Advisory Committee meeting.

AAUW & Girl Scouts Present The Be A Friend First Workshop
LAKEWOOD – The Northern Ocean County Branch of AAUW partnered with the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore once again to present to 34 fourth, fifth, and sixth grade girl scouts the “Be a Friend First” workshop. This workshop focuses on teaching young girls to be better friends which in turn will make them better leaders for the future. Being a friend first includes discussions and activities about conflict resolution, stereotypes, peer pressure, and bullying (relational aggression and cyber). This year, we brought back the Tom Letson materials on how to stand up to a bully as a supplement to the BFF program. This included learning how to have a “poker face” and how to use “self-talk” skills while delivering a comeback line to a bully. After morning activities, which included making a friendship tile craft, the girls were broken into four groups and led to breakout sessions facilitated by seven student ambassadors from Point Pleasant Borough High School. These young women attended previous trainings led by Pamela Saavedra and Diane Becza of AAUW-NOCB. For their participation, the high school students received 25 hours of community service from AAUW-NOCB. The breakout sessions were closely monitored
by six members of AAUW-NOCB. During the breakout sessions, the facilitators engaged the young girls by playing ice-breaker games and encouraged them to participate in discussions and roleplays about standing up to bullying, stereotypes, how to be a good friend, conflict resolution and the creation of “I” statements. In the afternoon, Gail Poverman-Kave, a professional counselor, spoke to the young girl scouts about speaking up, using those “I” statements to avoid conflict, and how to be a good person/friend in general. After the question and answer period, the day was wrapped up by the girl scouts presenting a “Take Action” project that encompassed all that they had learned from that whole day. Each Girl Scout received a beautiful “Be a Friend First” patch for their participation in the workshop. “I thoroughly enjoyed the Bullying program. It far exceeded my expectations. The high school girls were extremely prepared and presented beautifully. The Girl Scouts were very engaged. The content of the program was great. I would highly recommend this to other branches,” said Carol Cohen, President of AAUW-NJ. Thank you to all the Monitors and Facilitators, without you the workshop would not be possible.

By Chris Christopher Zack Molloy, the former Toms River High School North boys swimming standout, continues to win honors as a member of the Rider University Broncs. Molloy was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Men’s Swimmer of the Week for the third time this season. He captured the award for the third straight week. He won his latest honor after starring at the Big Al Invitational at Princeton University. He racked up four top-eight performances at the three-day event. In the individual events, the ex-Mariner was fifth in the 50-yard freestyle in 20.56, seventh in the 100 free in 44.95 and eighth in the 200 free in 1:40.97. He was also a member of the 400 medley team that finished in 3:19.44. He split 48.15 in the 100 butterfly. His split would have placed him third in the 100 fly individual event at the meet. Molloy’s best effort in the 200 free came in the preliminaries in 1:38.00. All three of his times in the freestyle events are the best in the
Ex-Mariner Swims To Victory MAAC so far this season. “Zack sprinted well this weekend and he competed hard in spite of being sick,” Rider coach Steve Fletcher said on the Broncs’ website. “He fought through an extensive meet program, including relays on which he supported Rider in recording seed times for the MAAC Championships that will put us in the middle of the pool in the finals.” Molloy enjoyed an honors-filled 2016-17 season. He was named Rider’s Co-Male Athlete of the Year for the second year in a row. He was named the MAAC Swimmer of the Meet at the conference championships for the second straight year. He set two Eastern College Athletic Conference records, five MAAC records and four Rider records at major events and championships during the season. He won six gold medals and one silver at the MAAC Championships, powering the Broncs to their sixth straight conference team title. As a sophomore, Molloy was named the MAAC Swimmer of the Meet at the conference championships and made the MAAC All-Academic team. As a freshman, he sped to gold medals in two events at the MAAC Championships. Molloy is an accounting and information systems major Burke a champion: Senior Amanda Burke,

Burke was second in the 100-yard backstroke (1:02.87) and third in the 200 backstroke (2:15.07). The Profs were 5-0 in the NJAC. Burke was second in the 100 backstroke in 1:02.81 in a 193-68 win over the Stevens Institute of Technology. Another local athlete on the Profs’ roster is Polina Dineva, a senior out of Central Regional. She swam the anchor leg as Rowan placed second in the 200 freestyle relay in 1:38.45 at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute Gompei Invitational. Burke (2:19.56) and Dineva (2:32.25) went 2-3, respectively, in the 200 backstroke in a 146-106 win over the University of Bridgeport. .

You Do Not Have To Be Tech Savvy, Just Social
Once you get the hang of it, social networking is really quite simple. All you need is a computer or mobile advice (like a Smartphone or a Tablet) and a functioning on-line signal. You may want a decent photo of yourself for your profile, but it is up to you. Depicted below are the major social media sites that are most popular with older adults. *Blogging – Many older adults are getting big into blogging. They are reading – and – writing – blogs about all kinds of subjects from sewing to sports to health and wellness. Audigy Certified providers even have their own blog – called HearingCareBlog. com – to keep all of our patients informed about the latest news in health, technology and tips for living full lives with better hearing. You can even leave comments, so it is a great way for us to stay engaged between appointments – visit Hearing Care Blog today to join the conversation. *Social Networking – EONS.com, facebook.com and twitter.com EONS is the social networking site designed for “boomers” age 50 and over. Similar to facebook, it allows you to post messages and photos, join interest groups and discuss boomer issues and keep in touch with family and friends. Facebook.com is by far the most popular social networking site used by 41 percent of the population in the U.S. You can create a personal profile for yourself and ask others to “become friends” and link with you. Many people will also ask you to be their friend as well. It is up to you how many people that you want to connect with. You and all of your contacts can share messages, photos videos and links. Additionally, many businesses have profiles where you can find out about up to the minute news and Facebook-only discounts when you like “like” them.
Twitter is a free social networking site designed for quick, short messages that are shared among your network of contacts. The messages, known as “tweets” must be no longer than 140 characters and can include links to other messages or online sites. Once you set up a profile, you can follow the “tweets” of others. They can follow your “tweets” as well if you allow them. Twitter is a great way to stay in touch with family, friends, business and interest groups.

6 Cosmetic Secrets To Get Gorgeous Fast
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
No matter what your age, you always want to look your absolute best. Throughout my life, I’ve learned all kinds of beauty tips and tricks from reading, talking to friends, and getting to know a few make-up artists when I appeared as a guest on TV shows. I always ‘pumped’ these girls to get their secret beauty tips while sitting in their chair and getting made up. I recall one lady who made me look amazing even though I hadn’t slept in 2 nights! She brought me to life with a few tricks, which I’ll share today. 1. Get Rid of Red If you put an ice cube into a paper towel and apply it under your eyes for 5 minutes, the red puffiness of ‘bedroom eyes’ will vanish for a little bit. Then you can apply your eye cream and concealer and look fresh and happy. 2. Curl Your Lashes Like the Pros I don’t use eyelash curlers ever, they freak me out, but I know a lot of you do! A makeup artist once told me her secret. She said to warm up your eye lash curler for a few seconds with the hair dryer. It needs to be warm not hot or you’ll burn yourself, and I feel bad telling you something that is obviously common sense. So anyway, be careful… the point is that a slightly warmed eyelash curler works better. She said its effect is akin to a curling iron on your hair. 3. Hide Insomnia After a 20-something hour flight from South Africa I had to land, get through customs, get over to the Dr. Oz studio and tape a segment. I looked rough. She made me
up and luckily I had my best tool, a white eyeliner pencil. Just be careful putting it on because it goes in an awkward area called the waterline. So, first apply your normal darker eyeliner where it goes, then apply the white eye-liner in the waterline. It’s across your top rim on your lower eyelid. Google waterline if necessary. 4. Fresh Eyes Homemade gel under eye masks are one of my favorite treatments for puffy eyes. You make these yourself with gelatin, which is rich in collagen. Here is a DIY recipe for a de-puffing eye mask. The green tea imparts a touch of caffeine which helps remove dark circles: Mix together one tablespoon chilled Manuka honey with one tablespoon prepared green tea. Add unflavored gelatin powder to desired consistency. Spoon onto a cucumber (sliced in half) and apply under your eyes for 10 minutes. 5. Shiny Hair You can take 10 years off your age by making your hair soft and shiny again. Whisk one banana and one egg together and apply to wet hair after shampooing. Leave on for about 3 to 5 minutes then rinse. 6. Glowing Skin Soak a clean face cloth in a cup of cold milk that has 3 drops of essential oil of lavender. Wring out and drape the cloth over your face. Relax with it for 10 minutes then rinse your face, tone and moisturize like normal. This brightens and moisturizes your skin, giving you a luminous glow and relaxed sensation.

Ocean County Golf Courses Enjoyed A Banner 2017
OCEAN COUNTY – Warm temperatures and inviting fairways equaled a great 2017 season at the county’s two public golf courses. “We’ve seen higher attendance and higher revenue at both Forge Pond in Brick Township and Atlantis in Little Egg Harbor,” said Freeholder Deputy Director John C. Bartlett Jr.
Atlantis, an 18-hole traditional course, saw golfers play 27,244 rounds in 2017, a 5 percent increase over 2016. Likewise, revenue at Atlantis was up 14 percent, finishing at $715,548. At Forge Pond, an 18-hole executive course, attendance was up 8.3 percent, with 25,168 rounds played. Revenue jumped nearly 5 percent to $465,913.
“Not only are more people enjoying our beautiful golf courses, but revenue generated allows both courses to pay for themselves,” said Bartlett, who also serves as Chairman of Parks and Recreation for the county. Pro shop sales, tournaments, cart rentals and season passes generate additional revenue.
“Our staffs at both courses also put a new emphasis on league play, which helped attract new golfers,” Bartlett said. A portion of the revenue generated at the golf courses is reinvested back into the facilities. Improvements to Atlantis now allow play of all 18 holes from the forward tees, resulting in a reduction of more than 1,000 yards over the entire course. “This upgrade alone opens up the course to younger golfers, seniors and others who are looking for a less intimidating round of golf,” Bartlett said. Irrigation improvements also resulted in greener, healthier turf while using less water. Whenever possible, the county uses its own in-house work crews at the golf courses. For example, county paving crews paved new cart paths at several locations at Atlantis. New equipment was also purchased at Forge Pond to both reduce maintenance times and eliminate the need to share equipment with Atlantis at the far southern end of the county. Bartlett also thanked Ocean County Jail Warden Sandra J. Mueller and Corrections Officer Frank Gordon for the use of inmate work crews to perform routine maintenance and cleanups at the golf courses. “This really is a county-wide effort,” Bartlett said. “We save as much money as possible by utilizing the resources we have.” And the county will soon have two new, professional resources to call upon. Two employees have completed half of a twoyear course at the Rutgers Professional Golf Turf Management School and are already applying their expertise at Forge Pond and Atlantis. Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said the golf courses are a credit to the county and its Department of Parks and Recreation. “We are happy to provide the recreation that so many of our residents enjoy,” Little said.

Inside The Law Drone Rules
Robert C. Shea Esq.
What Are The Rules When Flying Drones For Fun? By Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Fly for Fun under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft! You don’t need permission from the FA A to f ly your UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, but you must always f ly safely. You may elect to register your UAS to help in the recovery of lost equipment, but this is not required. The FAA has adopted the following UAS Safety Guidelines: •Fly at or below 400 feet •Be aware of airspace requirements and restrictions •Stay away from surrounding obstacles •Keep your UAS within sight •Never f ly near other aircraft, especially near airports •Never f ly over groups of people •Never f ly over stadiums or sports events •Never f ly near emergency response efforts such as fires •Never f ly under the inf luence of drugs or alcohol Flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft. The Special Rule for Model Aircraft (P.L. 112-95, Section 336) provides the definition and operating rules for f lying a model aircraft. Model aircraft operators that comply with all of these operational requirements during flight do not have to register their UAS with the FAA. Model aircraft operators must follow these rules to f ly under this Rule: •The aircraft is f lown strictly for hobby or recreational use (once you start earning money from the use of the drone you have removed yourself from this exception); •The aircraft is operated in accordance with a community-based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization; •The aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds unless otherwise certified through a design, construction, inspection, f light test, and operational safety program administered by
a com mu n it y-based Michael J. Deem organization; •The aircraft is operated in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft; and •When f lown within 5 miles of an airport, the operator of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at the airport) with prior notice of the operation (model aircraft operators flying from a permanent location within 5 miles of an airport should establish a mutually-agreed upon operating procedure with the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower [when an air traffic facility is located at the airport]) A model aircraft is defined as an unmanned aircraft that is capable of sustained f light in the atmosphere, f lown within visual line of sight of the person operating the aircraft and flown for hobby or recreational purposes. UAS Registration. If you do not operate exclusively under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, you must: •Register your UAS if it weighs more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds •Label your UAS (PDF) with your registration number and •Read and understand all safet y guidelines Registration costs $5 and is valid for 3 years. If you are f lying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft and you wish to register voluntarily, you should register as a “modeler.” If you are f lying under part 107, Section 333, part 91, a public COA, or for non-recreational purposes in general, you should register as a “non-modeler.” In order to register, you must be: •13 years of age or older (if the owner is less than 13 years of age, a person 13 years of age or older must register the small unmanned aircraft) •A U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.

Keady said that “it is time we amplify the voice of the students and do something to provide common sense gun reform now. There are many gun owners and non-gun owners who agree on this.

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 february 24 - march 2
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): You are like the little train that could. Just continue to think positively and even an uphill climb will be possible. In the week ahead focus on networking and making new friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your best qualities could be on display in the week ahead, so don’t miss a chance to charm someone who can help your career. You may have some good ideas to increase your net worth. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Accept minor irritations with good grace. A friend may push you off your couch to persuade you to do something physical. Focus on accepting challenges with poise and tact in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Drum up support and promote your dreams. People are likely to provide the helping hand you need to get projects off the ground in the week ahead. A partner may be especially thrifty. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take baby steps. It might not be a lack of ambition, but feeling the weight of responsibilities that prevents you from trying to get ahead. Be a perfectionist about ethics in the week to come. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It may not be fun, but it will be dependable. Rather than being restless for thrills be grateful for a steady diet of the same-same-old that you can rely upon as the upcoming week unfurls.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may receive more attention than you deserve. Your flirtatious mannerisms may interfere with a partner’s plans. Enjoy new contacts and plenty of social activities in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use your imagination. Conceive of ways to put a positive spin on situations so that you come out on top. As this week unfolds you may be given an opportunity to make beneficial changes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Find a budget buddy. In the week ahead you might spend time analyzing your expenses and resources. The pennies you often spend here and there on little things could mount up. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It is difficult to be carefree when locked into a serious mood. Give in to sentiment and put family pictures in order. Make your home a pleasant, restful haven as the week progresses. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It pays to discriminate, especially about romantic hookups. In the week ahead, you may be tempted to accept the first offer that comes your way. Remember there will be no doubts with true love. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep the faith. Sleep on major questions and concerns, and wake with the perfect answer. Important decisions may be made with little effort if you are patient in the upcoming week.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Double The Fun: Celebrate Chinese New Year With Some ‘Fireworks’ By Wolfgang Puck
I love it when two unrelated holidays just happen to fall close to each other. It more than doubles the fun - and the possibilities for cooking enjoyable food to celebrate. And that’s what’s happening right now. This year, the Chinese New Year - a holiday that, based on a lunar calendar, can fall any time between Jan. 21 and Feb. 20 - comes right after Valentine’s Day, with its official first day on Feb. 16 and celebrations beginning the evening before. This recipe is a great example of a dish ideally suited to elegant yet easy entertaining. Virtually all of the preparation can and should be done ahead of time, and it’s simple. It starts with finely dicing a few vegetables and combining them with a little peanut-oil, vinegar, citrus juice, and soy sauce to make a pretty, flavorful Asian-inflected salsa. Then cutting and chilling some vegetable threads for a garnish. With those tasks done and the sauce chilling in the refrigerator, the only cooking left consists of briefly sauteing a few aromatics, seasoning the scallops, and then searing them in a hot pan for barely more than a minute at most. (It’s important not to cook them any longer than that, or the delicate seafood will quickly turn from moist and tender to rubbery and dry.) Finally, assembling the plates for serving takes no more time than it took to cook the scallops. I’ve always found that light, bright, spicy Asian flavors like the ones this preparation features are ideal for a romantic meal. The scallops delight the senses and satisfy you without weighing you down. As a result, I find that they inspire the kind of lively, happy conversation that could easily turn romantic, especially when you accompany the dish with a dry but fruity sparkling wine or white wine whose characteristics beautifully complement a preparation like this. What to serve for the rest of your Chinese New Year meal? A medley of vegetables quickly stir-fried with ginger, garlic and soy sauce - prepared moments before you sear the scallops and served over steamed jasmine rice - would make an excellent accompaniment. I wish you a happy Chinese New Year! CHINOIS SEARED SCALLOPS WITH JALAPENO-TOMATO SALSA Serves 2 For the jalapeno-tomato salsa: 2 shallots 6 to 8 small yellow tomatoes or small red
tomatoes 1 red or green jalapeno chile, stemmed and seeded 2-inch (5-cm) piece slender English cucumber, peeled 1-inch (2.5-cm) piece carrot, peeled 1-inch (2.5-cm) piece daikon 1-inch (2.5-cm) square piece red bell pepper 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro leaves 1/4 cup (60 mL) peanut oil 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or lime juice 1 tablespoon soy sauce 2 tablespoons sake For the seared scallops: 10 or 12 sea scallops 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root 1 teaspoon minced onion 1/2 teaspoon minced jalapeño chile Peanut oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup (60 mL) mixed fine strips of daikon, carrot, and red bell pepper, soaked in ice water
First, prepare the salsa: Cut the shallots, tomatoes, jalapeno, cucumber, carrot, daikon and bell pepper into very small cubes, 1/8 inch (3 mm) or smaller. In a small nonreactive bowl, combine the vegetables and cilantro with the peanut oil, vinegar and lemon or lime juice. Stir in the soy sauce and sake. Cover and refrigerate until serving time. For the scallops, if necessary, use a small, sharp knife to trim off the any tough white connective tissue on their sides. Heat a small saute pan over high heat. Add a little peanut oil and saute the garlic, ginger, onion and jalapeno for a few seconds until fragrant. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle the scallops with a little salt and pepper. Use a teaspoon to spread a little of the sauteed mixture on top of each scallop. Over high heat, heat a medium-sized saute pan large enough to hold the scallops in a single layer. Add enough peanut oil to coat the bottom. When the oil is hot enough to shimmer, add the scallops and saute just until they are seared golden and feel springy to a light touch, no more than 30 to 40 seconds per side. Spoon the salsa onto two serving plates. Arrange the scallops on top. Drain the mixed vegetable strips, shaking off excess moisture, and arrange attractively on the plates as a garnish. Serve immediately.
