By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – The librar y transfor med from a place to borrow books to a place to buy books, just for the night. But books to purchase from Star Wars to narwhals was just one part of Lakehurst Elementary School’s book fair March 6. Through the library’s back door and down the corridor, a few turns and students and their fa m ilies were welcomed to the school’s second annual Literacy
Fair, no longer just a gymnasium but a colorful maze of tri-fold boards and accompanying artwork, books and displays. A showcase of learned literature. With all the STEM s u b j e c t s — s c ie n c e , technology, engineering and math—getting all the attention, it’s easy to remember that if one cannot read, if
one possesses a stunted imagination that comes from lack of reading, then the roots wither and the STEM weakens. The admonition that “reading is fundamental” is hardly an overstatement. Students and teachers from all grade levels, K-8, displayed books they had read or projects they had worked
on. Teachers Kaitlyn Cook and Dawn Jauch facilitated the fair. “The concept is to promote reading, to promote a love of reading, and to make sure the parents are involved,” Jauch said. Indeed, there were multiple generations strolling the fair, looking not only at their own students’ (Fair - See Page 5)
its admirers snapped pictures. They were full of cheer that night, their last big win of the season. Freshman forward Destiny Adams, whose name is on the lips of NCAA Division I schools, and sophomore guard Kemari Reynolds paced the Hawks with 17 points each.

Continued From Page 1 guard Serenity Anderson added seven points each. Junior forward Dakota Adams contributed six points. The 6-foot-3 Destiny Adams added 11 rebounds, four blocks, three assists and three steals. Dakota Adams picked off eight rebounds. The Hawks seized control of the game in the first quarter, snapping a 3-3 tie with a 12-0 run as they ended third-seeded Bulldogs’ eight-game winning streak. The winners slayed the Bulldogs (23-6) with a suffocating man-to-man defense. “We wanted to come out with our foot on the gas pedal and not let up,” said Harper, who will continue her career at Kean University. “Our plan was to just get at them early.” “We work on our defense most of the time during practice as it is the number one factor in our game,” Destiny Adams said. “We want it to be top notch in order to win. It’s our most dominant factor on the court. We had to work together, play very good defense, pass it (the ball
around) and make sure everyone knew what they were doing.” Manchester seized control of the game, bur ying the Bulldogs under an 18-0 avalanche that spanned the first and second quarters as the Hawks Nest, the team’s student cheering section, roared its approval. Destiny Adams put the Hawks in front to stay 6-3 with 4:20 to play in the first quarter when she bombed home a trey from the right wing. A Harper three-pointer from over the middle pushed the lead to 9-3 with 3:54 to go. Dakota Adams buried a jumper from the right corner for an 11-3 lead with 3:14 remaining. Destiny Adams swatted a Haddonfield shot into submission, leading to a Reynolds layup and a 13-3 advantage with 1:52 to go. Reynolds capped the surge with a layup with 36 seconds to play for a 15-3 lead. “The girls came out to play tonight,” seventh-year Manchester coach Dave Beauchemin said. “It was unbelievable. Anyone we put out there can hit (score) in the double digits. Everyone shares the basketball from post to post. We share the load. We don’t rely on explosive scorers.

I am real proud of the girls.” The Hawks continued to roll in the second quarter to cap the outburst. Reynolds drove for a layup. Destiny Adams bucketed two free throws and Harper netted a layup to end the outburst. Destiny Adams paced the Hawks in the first half with 11 points, including eight in the second quarter. Harper and Reynolds netted seven and six points respectively, in the opening 16 minutes. “The girls know they will distribute the ball to each other,” Beauchemin said. “We are at our best when we do that.” Not even the halftime intermission could slow the Hawks as they unleashed another avalanche – a 17-0 r un that resulted in a 46-10 third-quarter lead. Reynolds, who was seven of 11 from the f loor on the night, led the spree with seven points. “The moment of this game is too important,” Beauchemin said. “We understood we had a lead, but our main focus was that there were still 16 minutes to play. We turned it up. We closed the third really well. I was really happy with the other girls coming on in the fourth quarter as well.” Destiny Adams, who converted seven of 15 attempts from the field, said she is being recruited by numerous schools, including Louisville, Seton Hall, Maryland, Dayton and Villanova. “I can’t think of them all,” she said. “I don’t want to go real far from home where my folks won’t be able to see me play. Louisville is a good destination as they
can hop on a plane and see my games. I want to stick close to home.” “Destiny gives us size and versatility,” Beauchemin said. Manchester athletics director Keith Lister estimated the standing room only crowd at 770 fans. “The Hawks Nest provides us with so much energy,” Destiny Adams said. “They make us play even harder. They make us more mentally ready.” “They give us confidence,” Harper said. “They have our backs all of the time. It’s good to win it at home. Our fans and our community came together for us to do this. They are worth 60 percent of our points.” The Hawks ultimately fell to Manasquan in the Central Jersey Group II finale, in a Group II state semifinal on March 8.

Continued From Page 1 works, but others. “We want them to see a snapshot of their children’s reading. Reading is fun. Reading is important.” Cook’s favorite book is Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban. Even if literature isn’t based in reality, it tells us about real life. “We read to connect ourselves with universal themes. Literature teaches us that there are others out there like ourselves, that we’re not alone. It teaches us the difference between right and wrong, about human connection,” Cook said. “There are so many different reasons to read.” And one piece of advice aspiring writers get is to read, read, read. The lesson paid off for Lakehurst Elementary School alum Cedric Derecho, now an honors and advanced placement senior at Manchester Township High School. He was at the fair to sell his novelization of a long-time Lakehurst resident, called A Small Town Life. It’s based on research Cedric did about a man who lived between the Civil War and World War II, who lived in the house Cedric
Generators:
Continued From Page 1 and the township public works garage will be getting the generators. Abline said the township hoped to get those installed starting in the next couple of weeks. “This is all an action report from Super Storm Sandy back in 2012. We were told we would be able to get hazard mitigation grant money for generators based on things we had submitted to the state and the federal government. As it turned out, we were only able to get the grant for the generator for the municipal complex,” Abline said. “So the township decided we would go out to capital spending and put the other four locations in capital and that’s how we got it.” During Sandy, the emergency services buildings weren’t heated. Without power, opening the some of the garage doors was a problem. Abline said, thankfully, none of that impacted service to residents. They did eventually open those doors, and they left the trucks outside if they knew they would need them.
Get Ready For The 2018 Baseball Season
MANCHESTER – Are Judge and Stanton the new murderer’s row? Will the Mets surprise everyone and win the division? Will Adrian Beltre be traded? Is Ohtani a better hitter than a pitcher? Can Carlos Santana revive the Phillies lineup? Meet with fellow baseball fans as we discuss our predictions for the 2018 season AT THE Manchester Branch of the Ocean County Library on March 27. This event will be held from 1:30-3:30 p.m. You will have a chance to win prizes.

Cedric stumbled upon some of Foulks’ story in the Lakehurst Historical Museum, and took his research further to the state archives. “Everybody knows about the Hindenburg,” Cedric said. “But there are so many more fascinating stories.” The stories, told through Foulks’ eyes, lent themselves better to a novel rather than, perhaps, a dry nonfiction account. But Cedric did provide a second book, Fact or Fiction? A Small Town Life Revealed, which does delve into the history behind some of the stories in the novel. Both books are available at thebookpatch. com. Superintendent Loren Fuhring gave her impression of fair. “The Literacy Fair is a fabulous event to showcase student work and the efforts and progress of students throughout the year. The fair facilitated a tremendous amount of thought-provoking discussions related to the expression and interpretation of the students’ literary work. This is a collaborative event between the Lakehurst Education

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
E DITORIAL Why We Publish Politicians’ Press Releases The first letter to the editor that we’re printing this week had some pointed things to say about how we publish the press releases of Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd). We had been talking internally about publicly addressing how and why we publish press releases from elected officials, and this seems like a good time to do so. Most weeks, we have a “Government Page,” that has one to three press releases from elected officials. Mayors and council members use this space as a way to directly reach residents. If you want Howell residents to know about something, for example, you don’t get a better local source than The Howell Times. More often than not, this page is full of state or federal lawmakers. Every week, I scour through politicians’ press releases. Some of them get sent to us. Some of them we have to find. I choose what to run based on what is the most timely and what would impact our readers the most. This has been a long-time policy of Micromedia Publications since it was founded in 1995. It’s not really a service for politicians, but a service for readers. Elected officials do a lot of work that never makes it to the front page, but still impacts your lives. You need to know what politicians are doing, even if it doesn’t warrant a full news
story. We publish press releases from politicians regardless of their political stripe. It just happens that almost all of them around here are Republicans. We welcome releases from Toms River’s Republican Mayor Thomas Kelaher as much as Brick’s Mayor John Ducey, a Democrat. Occasionally, I will look at Robert Menendez and Cory Booker’s websites, both state Democrats, but those releases are not usually relevant to our area. As for MacArthur, we have the same relationship with him that we did with his predecessors: Jon Runyan, a Republican, and John Adler, a Democrat. We publish him frequently because he frequently sends us stuff. There certainly have been more this year, an election year, but looking at his web site, you can see one or more releases a week last year as well. We also welcome letters that are either for or against him. If you look at the letters pages, you’ll see that there are quite a few readers who strongly dislike him. We have no official position on any of our elected officials. As a policy, we don’t endorse candidates. So, in closing, don’t mistake the publication of a press release as an endorsement of a candidate. We are just letting you know what they’re up to and what they’re thinking. Chris Lundy News Editor

Stop Publishing MacArthur’s Statements Your publication should stop giving preference to one political party’s candidate over the other’s. By enabling him to distort reality for your readers in his campaign to get re-elected in District 3, the Times, Micromedia Publications and Jersey Shore Online are providing an unfair advantage to Rep. Tom MacArthur. Every time you distribute his defensive “spin” on his shameful record in Congress for the past three years, you are helping him deceive voters. You never present the facts that belie his 93% allegiance to dangerous NRA policies that can result in mass shootings. You repeatedly give MacArthur a free platform to try to downplay his extreme record on guns. Off the top of my head, I can think of 14 ways MacArthur has stood with his campaign contributor, the NRA, and stood against public safety. Despite the weekly columns that his PR flack wrote, the record shows that he was (1) against strengthening the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, (2) voting against the bipartisan “Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act” and (3) refusing to co-sponsor the bill when it was updated last year. MacArthur’s belated interest in mental health has no credibility, because he (4) voted against a Social Security rule that would have kept guns from individuals with mental impairments, and he (5) voted against having the Veterans Administration report mentally incompetent vets to the Background Check System. The NRA must be so proud of its puppet! He’s not representing the wishes of nine out of ten of his constituents who are in favor of better background checks. To add insult to injury, MacArthur wants (6) to cut billions of dollars out of Medicaid, which supports mental health programs. He (7) voted against funding Centers for Disease Control research on firearm injury prevention. He (8) won’t even allow the CDC to have a database that can search names when it traces the sources of firearms. MacArthur also (9) voted against funding gun safety research at Health and Human Services, and even 10) voted against designating gun research
Letters To The Editor a priority at the National Science I am grateful that Congressman of New Jersey in a federal staFoundation. He’s obviously the best politician the NRA can buy. Just after the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, in Las Vegas, MacArthur (11) co-sponsored the bill that would allow firearm enthusiasts to carry concealed guns across state lines. Hidden “heat” is banned in New Jersey. What about states’ rights, Tom? He has also (12) voted against the “no fly, no buy” bills that would deny firearm purchases to known or suspected terrorists. That’s just ridiculous! In the space your publications give for MacArthur’s propaganda week after week, he’s (13) avoided mentioning anything at all about assault rifles or (14) raising the minimum age to buy guns. Clearly, this NRA lackey doesn’t represent the vast majority of Ocean County voters. Instead MacArthur thinks domestic abusers, felons, terror suspects, the mentally ill, bar patrons, church-goers, students and teachers should be armed no matter what. He’s neglecting public safety as more people are being slaughtered. It’s time for Micromedia Publications to stop enabling MacArthur to do the bidding of the NRA without giving the same amount of space to the common-sense views of most of your readers. Nancy J. Richman Toms River
A Thank You For Dune Replenishment Approximately five years have passed since Superstorm Sandy and the south end boardwalk fire, and Seaside Heights is continuing to rebuild and recover. As mayor, I can’t help but look at our new amusement rides and see an image of the Star Jet roller coaster in the ocean. We have come a long way, but have a long way to go. I have been working around the clock to plan for future storms and encourage everyone in our community to do the same. Part of this preparation has been working with agencies across every level of government on our dune and beach re-nourishment project, which is essential to our region. I have been adamant that I will do whatever I can to help this project to completion, but the Borough Council and I remain firm that the project must not impact our beach and boardwalk operations this summer. Our local economy simply cannot afford it.
Tom MacArthur is standing with Seaside Heights in urging the Army Corp of Engineers to finish the project before Memorial Day weekend, or to postpone the Seaside Heights piece of the project until after the core summer season. We received good news that indicates the Army Corp of Engineers is listening and working to address our concerns. We are fortunate that Congressman MacArthur is a friend that recognizes the importance of the summer economy and is responsive to the needs of our small coastal town. Anthony Vaz Seaside Heights Mayor
A New Tax Deduction For Vets It is income tax season, and there is a new law (saves money) that changes New Jersey tax law that Governor Christie signed that probably has been forgotten, and did not get much publicity. Starting in tax year 2017, New Jersey residents who were “honorable discharged veterans” can take a $3,000 personal deduction from their New Jersey state taxes. They can do that every year, which is fantastic, and this must be shared with over 500,000 people who could qualify in New Jersey. I bet 99.9 percent of the people who qualify do not know about this. Will their accountants tell them? Who knows. Will their friends tell them? Who knows. Can they find out about this at a county Freeholders meeting? Who knows. Also, even if they were in the reserves, not necessarily full time active duty, they can use this new deduction. A lot of the time, reservists were excluded from getting benefits, like a V.A. Loan for example. The law applies to any New Jersey taxpayer who is “a veteran honorable discharged or released under honorable circumstances from active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States, a reserve component thereof, or the National Guard
tus.” Veteran is defined under NJSA 38A. But, and here is one big “But.” The taxpayer must send in a “honorable separation form DD214 as proof of active duty.” So, if they don’t have that form, they have to write away and get it from the federal government. Here is the 2nd big “But:” If you have to write away for the DD214 form, note this please, because it is not as easy as just making a simple request: Your request must contain certain basic information for them to locate your service records. This information includes: • The veteran’s complete name used while in service • Service number • Social security number • Branch of service • Dates of service • Date and place of birth (especially if the service number is not known). • If you suspect your records may have been involved in the 1973 fire, also include: • Place of discharge • Last unit of assignment • Place of entry into the service, if known. • All requests must be signed and dated by the veteran or next-of-kin. • If you are the next of kin of a deceased veteran, you must provide proof of death of the veteran such as a copy of death certificate, letter from funeral home, or published obituary. You will need to write to: National Personnel Records Center Military Personnel Records 1 Archives Drive St. Louis, MO 63138 314-801-0800 This form need only to be supplied in the first year you claim the deduction, and the NJ tax department will have it on record for years to follow. The last big “But” is that you have to check a box on the NJ tax return that shows you want this deduction. Good Luck. This will save 500,000 New Jerseyans a little over $100 bucks annually. David F. Lipton Toms River
C ORRECTION The writer of the March 10 letter named “Plastic Bag Ban Won’t Solve Problems” asked to correct a statement he wrote. The statement was “this dead tree contains roughly 10 cubic feet” in reference to how much paper can come from a tree of a certain size. The correct amount of yield is 100 cubic feet.

Holzapfel, Wolfe And Mcguckin Oppose Right To Vote For Prisoners And Those Serving Parole Or Probation CAPITOL COMMENTS 10th Legislative District Senator Jim Holzapfel • Assemblyman Greg McGuckin • Assemblyman Dave Wolfe
TRENTON – Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen
Greg McGuckin and Dave Wolfe of the 10th Legislative
District are opposing recently introduced legislation that would allow incarcerated prisoners as well as those on parole and probation to vote. “Convicted felons serving prison sentences have breached social contracts and should not be allowed to influence elections and public policies,” stated Hol-
zapfel. “Withholding their right to vote is a penalty for the breach of that contract.” Under the measure, inmates would be allowed to vote absentee in their home district. “Can you imagine someone serving a twenty-year sentence in state prison for murder, rape, or child abuse, having the right to cast an ab-
sentee ballot on who serves on your local school board or town council,” added Assemblyman McGuckin. “Our current system is reasonable and effective. Those who have been convicted of felony offenses in the past are not forever barred from voting and may restore their right to vote once they have

and expressed their concerns about—and opposition to— the administration’s offshore drilling proposal. “The members of our New Jersey Congressional delegation are united in our opposition to this proposal, and the people of New Jersey have made their concerns about offshore drilling clear—they do not want oil rigs off shore and our pristine beaches and waters at risk from oil spills,” Smith stated. “If we really support an energy policy that serves the pub-
lic, state and local concerns about offshore drilling must be heard,” said Smith, who participated in the alternate forum hosted by the group Clean Ocean Action. “The citizens of New Jersey stepped up and held their own public forum when the Department of the Interior failed to offer a proper venue. The transcript from that forum will now be part of the official comment period and the people’s opposition to the drilling proposal is clear and now on the record,” he said. In the letter to Secretary Zinke, the members expressed their strong opposition to the offshore drilling proposal and noted how they had invited the Interior Secretary to personally hear from concerned citizens in New Jersey. “We have each unequivocal-

ly stated our disapproval,” the members stated in the letter. “This has included joining together as a delegation in a January 9 letter asking you to reconsider the proposal, as well as a January 11 letter inviting you to visit New Jersey prior to the issuance of a finalized proposal and requesting that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) hold a public hearing, allowing participants to voice their concerns to BOEM officials.”
Recently, Rep. Smith (R-4th) and other Republican Members of the delegation including Reps. Tom Macarthur (R-3rd), Leonard Lance (R-7th), and Frank LoBiondo (R-2nd), met with Secretary Zinke and stated their strong opposition to New Jersey’s inclusion in the administration’s proposal to open over 90 percent of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf to oil and gas exploration and drilling, as part of the five-year plan for the National OCS Program.

County Budget Up Again; Taxes Expected To Decrease
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Ocean County taxpayers will see a slight decrease in their county taxes in 2018. For at least the second year in a row, taxes will decrease: even a half-cent decrease is going in the right direction, Ocean County Freeholder John Bartlett said. While no services saw an expansion, no services were cut. With Winter Storm Quinn raging outside, the Freeholders introduced their $416.1 million budget March 7. A public hearing will be held 4 p.m. April 4 at the county administration building. “This board is following through on our commitment to lower the county property tax rate as we recover from the losses of the great recession and Superstorm Sandy,” Bartlett said. “Last year we decreased the tax rate by 1/10th of a cent and this year we will decrease it by half a cent to 34.7 cents per $100 of equalized value. “This is the direction we would like to follow,” he said in presenting the proposed budget to the board on Feb. 28. “As our ratables rise we will gradually reduce the tax rate.” The budget comes in $6 million under the 2 percent cap (The state requires that budgets do not increase more than this). The overall budget is up $8.1 million. The amount raised by

taxation is up 1.29 percent, to $346.5 million. County property values increased almost three percent, to $99.8 billion. “And while we are seeing those values gradually increase, we are still $9 billion below the 2009 values when the economy took a downturn,” Bartlett said. “Coupling that with Superstorm Sandy three years later, we saw a major loss in the county. That is now beginning to turn around.” Bartlett said the county’s surplus in 2018 is $55.4 million. The proposed budget includes about $22 million from surplus. “In order to maintain our AAA bond rating, it’s imperative we keep a surplus balance that is equal to about 10 percent of the budget,” Bartlett said. “Having the highest bond rating possible helps us tremendously when we need to bond for capital projects. “In addition a strong surplus balance is necessary in times of natural disasters and emergencies as we all saw after Superstorm Sandy,” Bartlett said. “We have to build one year’s budget with an eye toward what it means for the future,” Bartlett said. This year’s budget will use more cash – $25 million – for capital expenditures so the county doesn’t have to bond for items such as trucks or heavy equipment.

–Photo by Bob Vosseller The Sweeney family gather prior to the start of the 34th annual Ocean County St. Patrick’s Day Parade. By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – The Ocean County St. Patrick’s Day Parade honored its founder John Sweeney of Lavallette in grand style during its 34th parade held on March 10. Sweeney, who was the driving force of the parade for 27 years, died of lung cancer on Dec. 12, 2017. He was honored with a special float during the parade sponsored by Timothy E. Ryan Funeral Homes with design input from his family. The float was filled with family and his many friends and drew cheers during the breezy March day. Thousands of families lined up on the borough’s emerald lined Boulevard to watch pipe and drums, mummers, bands, various organizations, marchers and more. Borough Mayor Anthony Vaz remarked prior to the parade that “it has been 34 years and I was in the very first one as a young councilman. The parade has grown over the years and John Sweeney created it and made it better each year. It has become a very big day for Seaside Heights and the county.” Vaz noted that the parade involved many pre- and post-parade event activities over the years that serve as fundraisers for it and have added to its fun. “John was always a true gentleman with a great sense of humor which he shared from the starting phases of each year’s parade planning to the final day of the parade.” As per tradition, the day began with a traditional Irish Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church on the Boulevard and Grant Avenue. The parade itself started at noon and ran for 90 minutes. The route started on the Seaside Park border. It ended at Sampson Avenue (stretching one and a quarter mile long). Sweeney had been quoted more than once over the many years concerning the parade’s running time. He said that it was vital that it be kept under two-hours as it always packed a great deal of entertainment. “We want everyone to have time to get out and enjoy the boardwalk afterward,” Sweeney often said. The parade organizer was well known for his gold and green attire
and pointed ears which he wore during the early years of the parade and at a pre-parade event known as “The Little Leprechaun” contest which was held for many years at the Casino Arcade on the borough’s boardwalk. Sweeney not only assembled a committed committee of volunteers, made up of members of various ethnic backgrounds, to run the many facets of the parade each year, he also provided a lot of enthusiasm when it came to gaining major sponsors for each year’s parade. During his last year as chairman in 2011 he was proud to say that the parade had not experienced “one single bad incident in 27 years.” He always noted that his most devoted committee member was his wife Patricia. Patricia Sweeney said among the many memories she has of her late husband’s long association with the parade that he always wore “his father’s top hat (Hugh J. Sweeney) who wore it in the Newark Saint Patrick’s Day parade which his father founded.” She added that she and her husband used to go to the shore’s other notable St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Belmar before the Ocean Count Parade was founded. “There was no place for the children to go after the parade and that’s when John said let’s start a family parade here in the Ocean County. He talked to Bill King Sr. about the parade and asked if he would help and Bill King, being the Scotsman, that he was, said ‘I will but I’ll stay in the background’... which of course he never did....that was the shamrock and thistle bagpipe band in the first parade,” Pat Sweeney joked. Her sons John Jr. and Bob were among the many family members on the float. “We heard after he died from so many people who told us how instrumental he was to them,” Bob Sweeney said. “He never did it for himself, he did it for Irish heritage and to help out others and get them involved in something enjoyable,” John Sweeney Jr. said. The committee, headed by Tom King, named Toms River Mayor Thomas F. (Parade - See Page 17)

Continued From Page 16 Kelaher as this year’s parade grand marshal. Kelaher wore a traditional white Irish cardigan for the occasion as he waved to the crowd in a convertible. Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines met up with Pat Sweeney before the parade began on L Street Seaside Park. Haines was honored as its fi rst Irish Woman of the Year. “My great grandfather John Shannon came to the United States in the 1800s and I am so proud of my family’s history,” Haines said. “Now, there are almost 130,000 Ocean County residents that are of Irish descent. It’s an honor to represent them and to be a part of this wonderful event.” This marked the fi rst time for Dan and Jean Erbeck of Howell to enjoy the parade. They brought their young daughter Makayla to the parade an hour early and bundled up for the day. “We’re excited about this it will be a lot of fun,” Dan Erbeck said. A little further up, Nidessa Cook of Toms River, her mother Kimberly Antonucci of Seaside Heights and their friend Shawn Pizzichillo of Toms River took up spectator spots on the Boulevard. Cook and Antonucci make this parade a St. Patrick’s Day season tradition. “This is the fi rst time we dressed up though,” Cook said. She and her mom had matching green bows in their hair. Pizzichillo said “this is my fi rst time for this parade. I usually go to Belmar.”
One of the parade’s fi xtures is the cart peddlers who make sure spectators have the option to purchase inflatable leprechauns, hats, green sunglasses, hats and other items for the parade. Jerry Payne and Chuck Imbursio, who reside in northern New Jersey, said they’ve been part of this parade for the last decade. “It’s a good parade with good people,” Imbursio said adding that he dyed his beard green for the occasion. Nikki Esposito of Character Parties and Live Mermaids drew attention from spectators before the parade even began, since she was dressed in a mermaid costume, which consisted of a bikini top and her fish tail. “I’m freezing, its really cold but I’m marching today (actually she was wheeled in during the parade) with the members of Save Barnegat Bay who are a wonderful bunch of volunteers.” By 11 a.m. the crowds were at full capacity at several Boulevard taverns including The Shore Thing Pub, Bamboo Bar and Klees Bar and Grill. The Bamboo posted a “Thank You John Sweeney” message on their building marquee. The sounds of Irish music could be heard at each of these establishments. Various girl scouts such as Lavallette’s Troop 293 and Plumsted Troop 50018 were out in force selling their cookies at tables along the parade route. Many residents and visitors see the annual parade as the kick-off of the spring season at the Shore. “This parade is a tradition linked with the county and the tourist season,” Vaz said.

22nd Annual Chef’s Night Out Celebrates Food, Fun, And OCVTS Students
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Senor Sangria of Maplewood, New Jersey was the big winner of the night at the 22nd Annual Chef’s Night Out & Gift Auction on Tuesday, March 12. Over 40 New Jersey restaurants, bakeries, breweries, and vineyards came together at the RWJ Barnabas Health Arena in Toms River for a night brimming with food, fun, and prizes. This was the 22nd year of the Ocean County Foundation for Vocational Education’s largest fundraiser. The Foundation is part of the Ocean County Vocational Technical Schools. “All of the money goes toward scholarships for students coming into vocational school or equipment for the classrooms, something above and beyond what our regular budget would purchase,” said Nancy Weber-Loeffert, assistant superintendent at OCVTS. Weber-Loeffert estimated that the event would see over 1,000 people. Tickets to the event cost $60, or $75 at the door. She noted that most people buy their tickets ahead of time for $60 and that the event was expected to bring in a total of about $40,000 this year. Last year’s fundraiser raised about $32,000, and Weber-Loeffert added that, “we expect that it’s going to be bigger and better,” this year. Various popular, local restaurants came
out, such as Bahama Breeze in Toms River, Cuisine on the Green in Little Egg Harbor, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Milton, The Olive Garden, and Yellow Brick Road Ice Cream Carousel in Toms River, among many others. In addition to the dozens of renowned establishments involved in the evening’s competition for the “People’s Choice” award, the OCVTS students also whipped up some treats to serve. The OCVTS students were not involved in the competition for a prize, but they were able to show off their culinary prowess learned and practiced in vocational school by serving handmade seafood dishes and desserts alongside the vendors. “Vocational education has been underrated, and fi nally now it’s coming back and we’re getting some notoriety,” said Weber-Loeffert. She explained that vocational education produces the HVAC guy, the plumber, the electrician, or the woman or man that styles your hair, among many other professions by teaching students in these specialized skill areas. “It’s a school of choice,” she said. “Students are with us because they want to be and because they have a career view.” The OCVTS students’ table was mobbed with people throughout the entire event, looking to taste their creations. Some students provided an array of desserts, including tarts, macaroons, and chocolate
–Photo by Jason Allentoff Students from OCVTS’ culinary program cook up delectable dishes. treats, while others prepared small servings of a special octopus dish. One OCVTS student, 16-year old Sage, said that the evening was great experience and, “it took a lot of prep work.” He said that some of the prep took place at the school and then they had to transport materials over to the arena for serving. In addition to the abundance of food and drink, the evening also included a 50/50 raffle with winnings totaling up to over $5,000. There were door prizes and tons of items for the gift auction. Attendees could
win anything from a Dunkin Donuts gift card to a trip to Aruba in a five-star resort. At the end of the evening, the winners were announced: • First Place for beverages: “People’s Choice”: Senor Sangria, Maplewood, NJ • First Place: Breezes, New Gretna, NJ • Second Place: Eagle Ridge Golf Club, Lakewood, NJ • Third Place: Office Restaurant & Lounge/The Villa, Toms River, NJ • Sweet Treat: Sweet Marie’s Bakery, Point Pleasant Beach, NJ

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
A Magical Voyage Through Your Ear
Imagine yourself miniaturized and given the opportunity to take a grand tour through your hearing mechanism. For the purpose of illustration, your trip is being booked with Eartrak, a subsidiary of Amtrak. Eartrak departs from your ear canal and is scheduled to make stops at the tympanic membrane, ossicular chain, oval window, cochlea and auditory nerve. The trip begins now! Eartrak slowly moves through your ear canal ... with most of you noticing that your ear canal is composed of cartilage and bone, as well as glands, which produce earwax and help maintain the temperature within that space. Eartrak enters your tympanic membrane or eardrum, which vibrates in response to sound. The tympanic membrane is composed of three layers of skin and attached to the membrane are three tiny bones (malleus, incus, stapes), which make up the ossicular chain. The ossicular chain vibrates in response to eardrum vibration and sends Eart-
rak through the middle ear space into the inner ear space (i.e., cochlea) through the oval window. The cochlea is snail shaped and is composed of many labyrinths and hair cells, which move in response to sound vibration. Eartrak slowly moves through the hearing mechanism until it reaches the auditory nerve (i.e., the 8th cranial nerve), which takes the auditory impulses and sends it up to the brain for interpretation. Your hearing mechanism is quite complicated. Although hearing aids will help compensate for your hearing loss (to some degree), you will never hear like you were 20 years old. That’s why it is important to have realistic expectations about the benefits of amplification. Before purchasing a hearing aid, it is important that you discuss (with your audiologist or dispenser) all the benefits and all the limitations of wearing a hearing aid. Being prepared (particularly if you are a first time hearing aid user) will significantly increase your satisfaction with your hearing instrument.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

WHITING FOOT CARE
DR. B. MEYERBERG Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Don’t Ignore Bloating, It Could be Ovarian Cancer By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Cancer, named by Hippocrates as “karkinos” actually refers to a giant red crab in Greek mythology. Eating crab legs (something I haven’t done in years) will never be the same now that you know this useless fact but anyway… cancer means that there is uncontrolled cell growth in a tissue, and it’s termed “proliferation.” Cancer strikes fear into the heart of millions of people each year. Once diagnosed, people are often motivated to alter the number of chemicals in their life, change their diet and lifestyle and sometimes end toxic relationships. 20/20 hindsight occurs, like with my dear brother Danny, who had chronic low back pain and dismissed it. Sadly, it was one of several plaguing symptoms that was connected to colon cancer and he realized this after his diagnosis. “My brother was a secret,” and he really was. If you’d like to read more about us, our relationship and his ultimate passing go to my website and search that phrase. Momentarily, I am going to tell you about a common symptom that you might have which could be tied to ovarian cancer. No one is immune from hearing the word if they live long enough, especially in a day and age where environmental and food pollutants abound. And then there’s cosmetic ingredients as well, such as talc. There was a woman who passed away from ovarian cancer in 2015, and her family was awarded $72 million dollars as a result of this talcum powder lawsuit! New clinical trials and scientific articles have been popping up over the past year about medications and their benefit to ovarian cancer. For exam-
ple, the medication class of statins (used for cholesterol management) have been investigated for their chemoprotective role, which is good. And recently, a study cleared metformin concluding that it does not raise risk for ovarian cancer, which is also good! Here’s more interesting news. You might be able to detect it sooner if you don’t ignore this common symptom. Bloating. The bloating is not the typical kind of bloating that you might get now and then with your menstrual cycle, or after eating beans. The type of bloating is chronic. Additionally, other signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer include pelvic pain, frequent urination, quick satiety, feeling queasy and chronic fatigue. There are six natural remedies that I’d like to share with you today. I will list them all here for you, so you can research on your own. If by chance, you want me to elaborate on the benefits of all of these, please sign up for my free newsletter (suzycohen.com) and I’ll email you a longer version of this article that contains that information. In no particular order, here are the six holistic options to consider for healthy reproductive structure and function: Medicinal mushrooms 2.Chia and Flax seeds 3. Turmeric 4. Resveratrol 5. Green Tea Extract 6. Iodine If you’re struggling with ovarian problems, do personal research because new compelling treatments, natural remedies and anti-cancer therapies are constantly being evaluated and released. There is always hope.

Dear Joel Time For A Pet
Dear Joel, My wife and I have decided it’s time for our children to get a pet. We anticipated that this would be a happy day but our two girls can’t agree on what kind of pet to get. One wants a dog and the other insists it be a cat; a black cat to be specific. What do you suggest we do? ANSWER: Many people know I own a huge Irish Wolfhound, but either choice is great. Pets teach kids great lessons about responsibility and companionship. If you adopt from a shelter, they can often recommend a dog who gets along with cats and visa versa – if you decide to get one of each. The bottom line
is that they’re still kids, which means you’ll probably have to decide what you would prefer to do…walk a dog or clean a litter box. Whatever you choose, I’m sure your new pet(s) will become a cherished part of the family. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law How To Prove Your Home Was “Substantially Damaged” By Sandy
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, many homes have suffered tremendous amounts of damage. Some homes have even been deemed to be considered “Substantially Damaged” as a result of such a natural disaster. Substantially Damaged is a term that applies to a damaged structure in a Special Flood Hazard Area or floodplain where the cost total cost of repair is 50 percent or more than the structure’s market value before the flood occurred. For example, if the value before the event was $250,000 and the repairs cost $130,000, the structure is “substantially damaged.” The land value is excluded from the calculation. The decision about whether a structure is substantially damaged is made at the local government level, generally by building inspectors, zoning administrators, and other permit officials that enforce the flood-plain management requirements of a community participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”). Since floodplain ordinances are established at the local level, local and state officials may use different substantial damage percentages and different valuations as long as they are not below NFIP standards. A “substantial damage” determination is important because the determination will dictate whether additional work will be needed to comply with local codes and ordinances, such as elevating a house. However, such a “substantially damaged” determination by a local government, is not final and absolute in nature. All local authorities are required to have some form of procedure to challenge such a ruling that your home is more than 50% damaged. Every local authority has its own rules and processes for making such a challenge, so it is very important
to contact the local government office that is responsible for these determinations in the area where your property resides. Therefore, every local government is unique in their appeal procedure, and the individual filing requirements for such a challenge. Some examples of appealing such a Substantially Damaged determination by a local government, may include, but are not limited to: a.) Providing evidence of estimates from two (2) certified NJ licensed contractors/ public adjustors; (and/or) b.) Providing a copy of Proof of Loss and Final Report (from an insurance company) for all flood claims made for Superstorm Sandy; (and/or) c.) Provide evidence of a pre-storm appraisal, by a New Jersey Licensed Real-estate Appraiser, showing that the value of the structure, is more than the 2012 tax assessed value referenced on the letter you received, and that your damage is less than 50% of this new amount Once the required appeal evidence is provided to the local authority, then the local government must re-evaluate their “substantially damaged” determination. The above items may be overwhelming and we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Lakewood Man Arrested After Threatening To Shoot Up “March For Our Lives” Rally
By Kimberly Bosco LAKEWOOD – A Lakewood man has been arrested and charged with one count of Terroristic Threats after he made reference to a mass shooting in a Facebook post, according to Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato. Detective Raymond Coles of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s High Tech Crime Unit (HTCU) arrested 42-year old Shane Steele of Lakewood on March 9. The investigation into Steele began after a report that suggested he had written and posted on social media a message conveying intent to shoot up the “March For Our Lives” rally, which is meant to draw attention to the need for stricter gun laws. A civilian reported this alleged threat to
the Manalapan Police Department back on February 19. The investigation included a search of Steele’s home which found no fi rearms in his possession. Senior Assistant Prosecutor Kristin Pressman of the OCPO reviewed the evidence from the investiga-
tion, approving the charge of Terroristic Threats against Steele. Steele has since been released on a summons to answer the charge at a future date. Assisting in the investigation were personnel from The Lakewood Police De-
Eating Right For National Nutritional Month
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County WIC Program wants its clients to “Go Further With Food” in honor of National Nutrition Month in March. The County Connection, located by the JC Penney in Ocean County Mall, will have information all month on the WIC program and healthy eating. “Put Your Best Fork Forward,” a program designed to showcase the benefits of breastfeeding and participation in WIC, will happen 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 22 and 23. “WIC allows for the provision of vital services within Ocean County to the residents most in need of our attention, compassion, and guidance. It is our hope that as many eligible people as possible avail themselves of WIC as nothing is of greater importance than the health of mothers and children in Ocean County,” freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, said. WIC—Women, Infants and Children— helps low-income pregnant and postpartum women, and children ages birth-5, helps par ticipants get supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education, and screening for referrals to other county and state services. “Feeding a family a healthy meal on a budget can be challenging but there are solutions. Our nutrition experts will be available during this two-day event to educate and offer guidance to get you on the path to a healthier diet and lifestyle,” Meg McCarthy-Klein, OCHD Nutrition Program Coordinator said. For more information, call 732-3419700 or visit ochd.org.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE A Reason To Smile When was the last time you visited a dentist? If you are like most adults, the last time you went to the dentist was when that recurring toothache became so unbearable you had no choice but to go in for a visit. Millions of Americans have fear or anxiety when it comes to visiting the dentist, and this is a fact that the dentists at Lakehurst Dental, Dr. Brian Klohn and Associates, keep in mind when treating their patients. At Lakehurst Dental, located in Lakehurst at 19 Union Ave., care is personalized and comfortable, giving even the most petrified patients a reason to smile. In his 26 years of dental experience, Dr. Klohn has always strived to bring patients the best dental care and the latest procedures and technology. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in the top 10 of his class in 1991, after which he began his residency at Monmouth Medical Center. In 1992, he began working for Dr. Kantor at the current downtown Lakehurst lo-
Dr. Brian Klohn cation, becoming a partner in 1996 and then sole proprietor in 1999 when Dr. Kantor retired. Dr. Klohn has remodeled the entire building, and the result is an office with a clean and relaxing ambiance. As you sit in the waiting room, you might watch the flat screen TV or take a gander through a binder that is filled with information on oral health and dental procedures. Despite the coziness and charm of the waiting room, however, you won’t find yourself there for too long. A s D r. K l o h n says, “ We don’t over book, so you’re not waiting
The atmosphere at Lakehurst Dental is relaxed and cozy.
Lakehurst Dental, located at 19 Union Ave, brings comfort to the dental experience.
in the waiting room because that automatically raises your anxiety level.” At Lakehurst Dental, you’ll find a unique breed of doctor that perhaps you have yet to encounter; dentists who are genuinely sympathetic and considerate of the fact that you’re not exactly thrilled about your impending root canal. It is this understanding of patient concerns and a valiant effort to, as their Web site, lakehurstdentist.com says, “bring comfort to your dental experience” that sets Lakehurst Dental apart from its competitors. Unlike some dental clinics, where patients might idle a preposterously long time in the waiting room, see a dif ferent doctor on each visit and feel rushed during the appointment, Lakehurst Dental is a private practice that gives patients a more personal experience. Patients see the same doctor on each visit, a routine that facilitates a trusting doctor/patient relationship and helps to alleviate any nervousness. Patients can rest assured that their dentist is familiar with their dental history, because the same dentist has been treating them all along. As a full-ser vice dental facility, Lakehurst Dental takes their commitment to their patients a step further by offering a multitude of services and minimizing the chance of sending patients out for certain procedures. All your dental needs can be met at Lakehurst Dental, in a calm atmosphere, with a familiar dentist with whom you are comfortable. Dr. Klohn explains that, “We block enough time out for our patients so we can explain what they need and really make sure they understand what they’re getting and what they’re paying for and why.” Dr. Klohn wants his patients to be relaxed, educated and healthy. Education is a priority, not just for patients at Lakehurst Dental, but also
for himself. Dr. Klohn is a member of the Advanced Dental Seminar Team through which they participate in ongoing education to stay up to date on the latest technologies in the dental industry. He also lectures on dentistry at Monmouth Medical Center. Dr. Klohn’s commitment to education has enabled him to keep current with advancements in the field and offer his patients the best that the science of dentistry has to offer. Lakehurst Dental offers dental implant restorations, dentures, porcelain veneers, cosmetic dentistry, root canal therapy and oral surgery. They practice stringent infection control procedures and their sterilization procedures meet CDC guidelines. Lakehurst Dent al also makes dental care more affordable by accepting credit cards, offering a no-interest payment plan and participating with the Delta Dental Premier Plan of NJ. Although new techniques and procedures are always being introduced, the age-old basics still apply when it comes to taking care of those pearly whites. You should brush at least twice a day and floss daily. And whether you’re 3 or 103, it’s paramount that you visit Dr. Klohn at least once every six months to avoid problems caused by neglect. You might think that going to the dentist is a tedious and agonizing chore, but after an appointment with Dr. Klohn, your opinion might change. To experience the personalized approach and the emphasis on comfort that Lakehurst Dental provides, you can call the office at 732-657-7400 to schedule an appointment. The office is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Beware, however, that an appointment at Lakehurst Dental might cause some side-effects - like a smile, and a newfound enjoyment in a visit to the dentist!

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Paddy’s Day Pie:Versatility Of Shepherd’s Pie Is Perfect For St Patrick’s Day And Beyond By Wolfgang Puck
With Saint Patrick’s Day falling on a Saturday this year, the annual celebrations honoring Ireland’s patron saint are likely to be livelier than usual, as people of all nationalities and all walks of life have the opportunity to feel Irish for at least a day. In restaurants and at home parties, there will be plenty of Irish stew, corned beef and cabbage, and soda bread being cooked and served, all washed down with Irish beer or stout and very likely Irish whiskey. (Please take care to drink responsibly!) There’s no doubt that we’ll be serving a few Irish-inspired specials in my restaurants. One of my favorites, however, is a home-style dish you can easily make at home for yourself. And - even though I grew up in a small town in Austria, about 1,300 miles southeast of Dublin - it’s a recipe I’ve loved since childhood: shepherd’s pie. The name of course, comes from the fact that this dish traditionally features lamb. And, befitting the humble means of most shepherds or other country folk, wherever they might live, it’s an economical recipe that extends a small amount of fresh or leftover meat by combining it with generous quantities of vegetables and thick gravy, then baking the mixture with a thick topping of mashed potatoes. Once you understand these basics, you can vary the recipe in so many different ways. In place of the ground lamb, which you can find in the meat department of most well-stocked markets, you could substitute ground beef, pork, turkey or chicken; you can also use well-trimmed, chopped up scraps of leftover roasted, grilled, braised or stewed meat or poultry. Other vegetables you like could take the place of those I call for in the recipe. And if you’re watching your carbs, you could even replace some or all of the mashed potatoes with mashed cauliflower or make the topping a mixed-vegetable mash-up by including some carrots, parsnips, turnips or rutabaga. There are still more ways to be creative with the recipe. You’ll see, for example, that I flavor the topping with some garlic cloves that I boil along with the potatoes, as well as with some grated horseradish added after mashing. You could, instead, give the potatoes an Irish-green color by including a small amount of powdered dry wasabi, the Japanese horseradish served as a seasoning paste with sushi. And I top the potatoes with some fresh breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese to help give it a golden-brown crust during baking although any other cheese you like, including Irish cheddar, would be a perfect substitute. With all these options, you can see it’s a perfect recipe to enjoy year round. Here’s to a happy St. Patrick’s Day! INDIVIDUAL SHEPHERD’S PIES Serves 8 1 3/4 cups (440 mL) good-quality canned lowsodium beef broth or stock 1 sprig fresh thyme 1 sprig fresh Italian parsley 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) ground lamb 3 carrots, scrubbed, trimmed, and cut into 1/4 inch (6-mm) dice 2 leeks, halved, thoroughly washed, trimmed, and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch (6-mm) slices 1/2 pound (250 g) Swiss chard, leaves cut from ribs, both cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces 1 cup (250 mL) frozen peas 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch (5-cm) chunks 3 garlic cloves, peeled 1/4 cup (60 mL) milk 2 tablespoons freshly grated or bottled prepared horseradish 2 slices country white bread 2 ounces (60 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese First, prepare a simple beef gravy: Put the broth or stock in a saucepan with the thyme and parsley, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, knead together 2 tablespoons of the butter with the flour until they form a soft, smooth paste. When the broth boils, remove the thyme and parsley, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, and whisk in the butter-flour mixture. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until thickened to a gravy consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper, remove from the heat, and set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lamb and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the meat, until evenly browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a mixing bowl and set aside. In the same skillet over medium heat, add the remaining oil, carrots and leeks and sauté, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Swiss chard, and cook for 2 minutes longer. Stir in the peas, gravy and lamb. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until thoroughly heated, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside. In a large pot over high heat, bring the potatoes and enough salted water to cover to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until potatoes the potatoes are tender enough to pierce easily with the tip of a sharp knife, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return the potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add 3 tablespoons of the butter and mash the potatoes. Stir in the milk and season to taste with salt. If the potatoes seem too stiff, add up to 2 tablespoons more milk. Stir in the horseradish. Transfer the lamb mixture to eight 4-inch (10cm) ramekins, arranging them on a sturdy baking sheet, or to an 11-inch (27.5-cm) deep-dish pie plate. Spread the mashed potatoes over the lamb mixture. In a food processor, pulse the bread to form medium-fine crumbs. Sprinkle the crumbs and the Parmesan over the potatoes and dot with the remaining butter. Bake until the topping is lightly browned, about 45 minutes. Serve immediately.
