By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The Township Council recognized Gun Violence Awareness Day at a recent meeting. Members of Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action were invited to the meeting, wearing orange to bring awareness to the epidemic of gun violence in America. “Through this proclamation, the Township of Toms River recognizes the need to develop scientifically sound solutions to this important national public health crisis,” Councilwoman Laurie Huryk said.
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Most people don’t thin k about traffic on the way to Seaside except for the way it affects them. If there are a lot of other cars on the road, they complain about how it might slow down their trip to the beach. But there are little neighborhood areas that are affected by the traffic in much worse ways. Pelican Island is a small patch of land that the Mathis-Tunney br idges touch down on when you’re heading toward Seaside. During the offpeak months, the island is pretty quiet. But during the summer, residents are very concerned about the traffic. (Traffic - See Page 5)
School Board Will File Complaint Against Member By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The Toms River Board of Education approved one member to file a complaint against another to the School Ethics Commission. The board member in question was not named publicly. A special meeting was held just for a private discussion among board members. Then the board voted 6-1 to allow board President Russell Corby to bring up “ethical violations” of the unnamed member to the School Ethics Commission. The resolution states that Corby has “personal knowledge of the complaint and believes it is (Complaint - See Page 5)
How To Protect Yourself From Ticks By Jennifer Peacock M A NC H E ST E R – You won’t be fashionable, but dressing right is an i mpor t ant step to prevent tick-bor ne diseases.

Ticks: Continued From Page 1 populations and associated diseases. “Over the years, every year, the number of ticks has risen,” Goldberg said. “This is mostly due to the fact that animals are being driven out of their environment and into our environment.” It’s up to individuals to stay out of the ticks’ ways, she added. “You are going into their environment. It’s their home that you are stepping into. Therefore, you have to be aware that ticks are in mostly all tall grasses, uncut grass, tall weeds, and in dead leaf litter,” Goldberg said. Ticks hang onto blades of grass and don’t care about bicycles or strollers or cars. They are waiting for that signature scent that means mealtime: carbon dioxide. And you can’t hold your breath running through the fields; your body, your pet’s body, gives off CO2 as long as you live. Ticks typically work from the bottom up. The lazy ones will latch onto a toe or ankle. The blood-thirsty connoisseurs will find dark, moist spots further north: under the arms, in or around the ears, inside belly buttons, on the back of the knee, in and around hair, between the legs, around the waist or on the scalp. If you’re out walking, you should stay in the center of marked trails. If you can’t avoid grassy areas, you should wear long, light pants with the legs tucked into white socks. Light-colored shirts
Most illnesses can take three days (Lyme disease, a bacteria) to up to 63 days (Babesiosis, a parasite) to show symptoms. Most illnesses can be treated effectively with antibiotics if caught early. Three tick species call New Jersey home, and a fourth invasive species that hasn’t been found in Ocean County… yet. The black-legged “deer” tick, the American dog tick, and Lone Star tick all carry diseases that are transmittable to humans and pets. The deer tick carries Lyme disease; the dog tick, Rocky Mountain spotted fever; the Lone Star tick, Ehrlichiosis, which as with so many diseases, presents flu-like symptoms. That’s also the infection that’s made the rounds, possibly causing those infected –Photo by Jennifer Peacock to become “allergic” to meat and dairy.

Traffic: Continued From Page 1 Resident Sue Kosakowski said there have been four deaths by the light at Catalina Avenue and Route 37. “Anyone on the island knows not to go when it turns green” because there’s a good chance that someone will still blow through their red light, she said. According to police statistics that residents of the neighborhood have accumulated, there were indeed four fatal crashes in the area between the years of 2008 and 2015. Two of them were pedestrians. There were 411 crashes resulting in 152 injuries. Unsurprisingly, the number of crashes increased in the summer and on weekends. Kosakowski said that the Berkeley police department has been in touch with her to also gather crash statistics. It’s always been bad, but in the last five years it’s become worse, she said. Now, there’s added construction vehicles coming over because of repairing homes from Superstorm Sandy. She would like to see a sign on the Mathis-Tunney bridges heading to Seaside to let people know that there is a light coming. She’d also like to see a more prominent traffic signal like the ones that Seaside installed. The lights are bigger, with a black background, so the lights could be more
Complaint: Continued From Page 1 necessary to bring this Board member’s ethical violations to the attention of the School Ethics Commission.” The resolution mentions statute N.J.S.A. 18A:12-24, which is in reference to conflicts of interest. The resolution authorizes a special counsel to prosecute a complaint against the board member on behalf of Corby, and to represent him in the complaint. In a phone interview following the meeting,

The state recently completed a major reconstruction project of the Mathis bridge, but improvements to this intersection were not part of it. Daniel Triana, public information officer for the New Jersey Department of Transportation, said that there are no plans to make changes to this intersection. If a local official wants to request an investigation to determine what changes would help, they would need to send a signed township letter to the DOT’s executive manager of traffic engineering, agreeing to 25 percent of the cost of changes, he said. The border between Toms River and Berkeley actually runs through Pelican Island. The traffic light in question is on the Berkeley side. Berkeley Township used to incorporate a much larger portion of the county, but many years ago, sections of town seceded, leaving remote areas still part of Berkeley. Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato said that he would be willing to advocate on behalf of residents in the area if there was a specific plan. “Any type of safety enhancement - we are in favor of,” he said.
Corby said that putting this in the hands of an independent body, the School Ethics Commission, will leave the board with more time to focus on more important issues. The district is facing a possible loss in state aid, and they are on the cusp of a rebuilding strategy that would make improvements to every school in the district. According to its web site, the School Ethics Commission is a nine-member body appointed by the governor. They review and investigate complaints. Usually, the nature of the complaint is kept private until the investigation is complete. Then, they render an opinion on the case, which is then made public.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY
F EATURED L ETTER Dinosaur And Its Artist Have History Together Af ter t wo y ears of waiting in the wings for approvals and permits it looks as though the g reen light has been given to me to start restoring the Bayville Dinosaur. I will start at the end of June and hope for a grand unveiling in early September. My sponsor, PPG Paints, has graciously come aboard with some fascinating new products that consist of an “environmentally green base.” Along with today’s standards, we are defi nitely on the same page in keeping the environment as safe as possible. I lived across the street from the Dinosaur when I was in my single digits. While attending St Joseph’s in Toms River my bus stop was right across the street. My Dad would take me and my siblings Joel and Dona, to visit the dinosaur constantly. My youngest brother Jay was just born so his visitation rights didn’t kick in until later on in life. It fascinated us when we were young. It seemed bigger than life! When my grandfather was running for mayor of Bayville we would give out matches with his face
on the cover. Folks at the IGA and Bayville Laundromat were big fans of his. After we gave out all the matches, as a treat, we headed over to visit the Dinosaur. As you can see…this “stone age statue” is no stranger to me. I can even remember when his eyes and mouth lit up with color. Sure, it was a simpler time - but the memories I have of this great monument must be one of thousands shared by others that once came to visit the coolest dinosaur in the world. Getting the chance to restore the friendly beast has been a dream for many years. For anyone that has grown up “Bayville” I know you have watched the dinosaur go through many changes, many colors and many decapitations. I hope this new change suits all of you and takes you back to your own memories of a far younger and simpler Bayville… when the innocence of simply visiting a man-made dinosaur was more than enough to put a smile on your face. Thanks for having me. Shannon MacDonald Artist Chosen To Restore The Roar To The Bayville Dinosaur

Letters To The Editor Beloved Teacher Remembered
The Donovan Catholic and St. Joseph’s Grade School family mourn the loss of our beloved teacher, Karin Krenek. Karin passed away suddenly on May 18 doing what she loved…sharing her love for theatre with students. Karin has been a part of our school communities for over two decades as a teacher and a parent of four children who graduated from our schools. Karin was not only a theatre teacher, a drama director, and an ESL teacher, she was an inspiration to all who knew her. Karin had the unique ability to invite a community that spanned generations to create productions that breathed “LOVE.” Karin knew the power of the arts, and she used the arts to honor people, to heal people and to build community. EVERYONE was welcome in Karin’s productions because she truly believed that every child of God had something unique and important to contribute. Karin’s home in the learning commons was a haven for young and old alike who needed a listening ear and an open heart. “Mama K,” as the students called her, always had time to laugh with, to cry with and to pray with students in need. Karin’s faith was the foundation of her life and she gathered students in prayer before every practice and performance. Her Donovan Arts memos often included requests for prayer for those in need of healing or help. Karin initiated the idea of “theatre retreats” and invited Donovan’s pastor/ director Father Scott Shaffer and Campus Minister, MaryBeth DeBlasio, to take her cast and crew away for two or three days to Maris Stella Retreat House in LBI where they participated in retreats based on gospel themes present in their particular show. Karin is probably the only director who, with two weeks left until show time, would say, “We
Letters To The Editor Lacey Students’ are not practicing for two of anti-Semitism to bully or three days, instead we are going on retreat to pray together, to play together and to be nourished by Fr. Scott’s amazing cooking.” JoAnn D’Anton, marketing director for Donovan and Madeline Kinloch, St. Joseph’s Grade School principal, also participated as “sous chefs” and chaperones on these retreats. “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Mary Poppins,” “Guys and Dolls,” “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” and “The Lion King” were some of the shows that were enriched by these retreats. Karin felt that as Catholic educators we have the obligation to incorporate our faith into every aspect of our students’ life. Karin was a community builder who taught the high school students to pass their love of theatre and of God on to the students in St. Joseph’s Grade School. Cast and crew from the high school worked as small group leaders on the grade’s school’s “Lion King” retreat this past February. Dress rehearsals of her musicals were open to St. Joseph’s Parish religious education students and the interaction between the cast and these young students ref lected the love that Mrs. Krenek shared with them. Karin was someone who never had an unkind word to say and who always brought light and joy and hope to those who crossed her path. She will be deeply missed by our community. Donovan Catholic Staff
Toms River Council Not Anti-Semitic Toms R iver Republican Cou ncil members responded ang r ily to repeated accusations of anti-Semitism being espoused publicly, both directly and indirectly, by local pro - developme nt attorney Harvey York. The Republicans said that York is using accusations
the township into approvi ng addit ional housi ng units that it cannot afford. “Trying to chill legitimate debate about development decisions by labeling elected officials and residents as anti-Semitic if they voice opposition is offensive” said Councilwoman Maria Maruca. “Mr. York needs to know that our local elected officials will not be bullied or intimidated into approving more development by him falsely accusing us of anti-Semitism. We want to cu r t ail development because our town can’t afford it and our residents don’t want it,” said Council President Brian Kubiel. “Is Mr. York’s contention that every Toms River resident who wants to slow development is a racist? That’s a despicable attack against our residents and we won’t stand for it now or ever.” “Mr. York’s conduct in furthering this ugly narrative is a poorly veiled attempt to secure favorable outcomes for his client’s project s - wh ich mea n more development, additional traffic and higher taxes,” said Councilman Mo Hill, “trying to label elected officials and residents as Anti-Semitic if they try to reduce density in Toms River is offensive.” Toms River Republican Off icials point to published newspaper accounts of Mr. York’s comments regarding a rezoning ordinance put forth at a recent Council Meeting. “The Taxpayers of Toms R iver w ill not be held hostage to reckless development interests and high-priced legal mercenaries to shame or intimidate our town into making planning decisions at odds with the interests of our t a x p aye r s ,” c onclu d e d Councilman George Wittmann.

Gun Training Is Wrong
On May 20, Lacey High School students attended a training event, during which they were given firearms, from handguns to AR-15s. The trainers said it was to teach the students gun safety. However, that’s not what actually happened. The students were handed guns which they’re too young to buy, then were trained to use them. The definition of “gun safety” taught to underage children was that in order to be safe, you need a gun. The problem is that this “lesson” is factually incorrect. A study done by the Rutgers School of Nursing showed that children taught this kind of “gun safety” are no less likely to handle guns unsupervised. When you consider another conclusion of the study, that 85 percent of gun-owning parents don’t practice safe gun storage, the effect of the training was simply kids getting excited about guns, which many already had access to. The event was supposed focus on safety. Yet, the event’s Chief Training Officer said himself, “One of the goals I wanted to set was to show people, ‘This is fun. I feel good.’” June 2 was National Gun Violence Awareness Day, during Wear Orange Weekend from June 1-3. I used to think awareness wasn’t the issue, but that’s clearly not the case. If guns meant safety, America would 2.5 times as safe as any other country. Yet, we’re 25 times more likely to be killed by guns than people in other developed nations. But most people aren’t aware of that, in part, because people like the hosts of this event say that kids one day “collecting guns…would be a win for us.” When children’s lives are on the line, the stakes are too high not to act. And so, on June 2nd, I wore orange, and marched, and fought to actually make New Jersey’s kids safe. Eytan Stern Weber NJ Communications Lead Moms Demand Action

2019, issuing the following statement: “The passage of NDAA is an important step toward providing our troops with the tools and
Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker cosponsored legislation that would protect the safety and well-being of minor children who have been left alone and vulnerable after their parents have been arrested or detained by U.S. immigration authorities. The lawmakers said the Humane Enforcement and Legal Protections (HELP) for Separated Children Act is necessary because in the past children have been abandoned at home or at school after their parents’ detention, often without information about their parents’ location and without adequate arrangements for
their care. They said that with the Trump Administration seeking to step up enforcement operations targeting immigrant families, and planning to separate children from their parents during enforcement operations, action is needed to protect children impacted by the administration’s actions. The HELP Separated Children Act’s protections for these children include: Allowing parents to make calls to arrange for the care of their children and ensuring that children can call and visit their parents while they are detained; Allowing parents to participate in family court proceed-

resources they need to defend our country both at home and abroad, while also strengthening the future of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and thousands of New Jersey jobs. “The NDAA will reaffirm our commitment to our men and women in uniform by fully funding the largest pay raise
for our troops in nine years. Our servicemen and women, and their families sacrifice so much for our freedom and we have a moral obligation to care for them. “Importantly, this bipartisan NDAA does not authorize a Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission protect-
ing the Joint Base and the vital role it plays in our national security and local economy. This bill also maintains funding for construction at the Joint Base that will support the new KC-46 refueling tankers. The placement of these tankers will ensure that JB MDL continues to be our
nation’s premier air mobility installation and home to over 42,000 jobs. “Supporting our military and protecting our country should never be a partisan issue and I’m glad members of both parties were able to come together and support this vital legislation.”
Bill Would Protect Minors Left Alone When Parents Are Detained By Immigration Officials
ings affecting their children; Protecting children from being compelled to serve as translators for their parents in immigration enforcement actions; Ensuring that parents can coordinate their departures with their children, including allowing parents to say goodbye to their children prior to being taken into custody; and Requiring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to consider the best interests of children in detention, release, and transfer decisions affecting their parents. According to a 2011 study, there are more than five million children in the United States living with at least one unauthorized immigrant parent. The vast majority of these children are U.S. citi-
zens. These children are vulnerable when their parents are the subjects of immigration enforcement, detention, and removal actions. When parents facing detention are not given the opportunity to make arrangements for the care of their children, this not only results in serious, avoidable trauma to children and families, but also unnecessary expenses for the state. Children of detained parents have been needlessly taken into the custody of state or local child welfare agencies. In the most extreme cases, because of their parents’ inability to participate in family court hearings, these children have been adopted or placed into foster care with well-meaning American families. Even when the outcome is not termination of parental rights, enforcement
can lead to de facto permanent separation of children from their parents and cause tremendous harm to children, undermining their sense of security and even inflicting symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In 2013, during the Senate Judiciary Committee’s markup of the comprehensive immigration reform bill, the previous version of the HELP Separated Children Act was the only amendment - out of nearly 200 amendments - to pass by a unanimous roll call vote. Joining Sens. Menendez and Booker on the legislation are Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Richard Durbin (D-Ill.),
Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Jeff Merkley (D - Ore.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Tom Udall (D-N.M.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.). Congresswoman Roybal-Allard (Calif.-40) introduced the HELP Separated Children Act in the House of Representatives, where its cosponsors include Congressmembers Adriano Espaillat (N.Y.-13), Ruben Gallego (Ariz.-07), Pramila Jayapal (Wash.-07), Grace Napolitano (Calif.-32), Darren Soto (Fla.-09), and Filemon Vela (Texas-34).

Ocean County Officials: Get Ready For Hurricane Season By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Ocean County officials remind residents to be prepared for hurricane season, beginning June 1 and lasting through the end of November. The height of hurricane season typically lands around late August and September, however tropical systems can develop any time, so it is important to be prepared. “We have learned many valuable lessons from Superstorm Sandy which devastated the area in October of 2012,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety. “We know that being prepared is the key to our safety and taking the time to make sure you have a plan in case of an emergency could be lifesaving if disaster strikes.” The National Weather Service lists surge flooding, inland flooding from heavy rains, destructive winds, tornadoes, and high surf and rip currents as the biggest hurricane hazards. Officials urge residents to prepare by having a portable Disaster Supplies Kit at all times. The kit should be updated every six months and include a gallon of drinking water a day for each person, prescription drugs and special dietary foods, a supply of non-perishable foods, a first aid kit, a battery powered radio, flashlights, and extra batteries “As a coastal area, it is imperative that residents and visitors of Ocean County are aware of the risks that are faced during a hurricane, tropical storm or a nor’easter,” said Ocean County Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy. “Knowing how to prepare before a storm, how to take action as the storm approaches and even knowing what to do during a storm are all types of questions to think about to be better prepared in case of danger.” When preparing for a storm, don’t forget about your pets. It is also important to have Animal Supply Kits and Take-Along Bags for service animals and pets. These include a two-week supply of water and food, non-spill food and water dishes, cage/carrier labeled with contact information, favorite toys and treats, leash,
collar and harness, litter, litter pan, paper towels and plastic baggies, and pet medication. Pets should also have current ID tags and vaccinations, according to officials. Make sure to have a plan as to how your pets will be cared for if you have to evacuate. Officials also urge residents with disabilities or special needs to sign up for Register Ready, New Jersey’s Special Needs registry for disasters which helps emergency responders better plan to serve them in disaster or emergency situations. “Register Ready is a free, voluntary program that allows for extra preparation in the case of a major emergency,” Kelly said. “It will not only help our residents who may need assistance but it will also provide information to emergency responders so that residents could be checked on during weather events.” To register online, go to ready.nj.gov. “The Ocean County Office of Emergency Management under the direction of Sheriff Mastronardy does a great job providing resources during an emergency,” Kelly said. “Residents should also keep up on the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for information as the hurricane risk heightens.” Advisories to stay alert for are a “hurricane watch” and a “hurricane warning.” For a list of hurricane-related resources, visit ochd.org. An Emergency Preparedness Disaster Tips pamphlet is also available throughout the county including the Health Department located at 175 Sunset Ave. and the County Connection at the Ocean County Mall. “Residents can use the Health Department’s Emergency Preparedness Disaster Tips pamphlet as a guideline for their own preparations,” Little said. “It is a great starting point to make sure your family is aware of the steps to take in case of an emergency.” For more information on emergency preparedness, visit the Ocean County Government webpage at co.ocean.nj.us and by clicking on the ‘Be Prepared’ link.

TOMS RIVER – In honor of their life-saving work on behalf of pets, 27 volunteers were recognized at the last Council Meeting on May 22. The Proclamation expressed our town’s appreciation and recognition for our Animal Shelter Volunteers, who promote animal care improving the lives of cats and dogs and make a positive impact in our community. The Animal Control Officers were also recognized at the same meeting where they received their badges. The Toms River Animal Shelter Animal Control Officers are responsible for all daily operations including administrative, cleaning / feeding all animals, adoptions, reclaims, owner relinquishment’s and animal control. Animal Control Officers are a special type of person. They have a reverence for animals, all types, shapes and sizes. And one of the hardest things they do, as an animal-lover is to watch animals
suffer. But even when their everyday experiences are harsh they persist in the difficult mission of doing what is best for the animals and instructing the public on proper care and treatment of our furry friends. Our Animal Control Officers provide outstanding care for the animals at the shelter as well as in the community. The Proclamation expressed our town’s gratitude and acknowledgment for our Animal Control Officers who are the soul of this organization: • Richard Barbosa ACO & Animal Cruelty Investigator - Badge 799 • Tom Manolio - Animal Control Officer - Badge 787 • Dave Matthews - Animal Control Officer - Badge 779 • Sean Whalen - Animal Control Officer - Badge 798 Thank you to the volunteers and ACO’s for all that you do!

Ocean County Justice Complex Receiving A Facelift
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Ocean County officials announced that construction on two separate improvement projects in the plaza of the Ocean County Justice Complex will begin on June 4. The complex, located at 120 Hooper Avenue, will be receiving a high-efficiency heating and cooling system as well as upgrades to the stairs, handicapped access ramp and doors. “We want to make sure our visitors and staff are aware of this ongoing work,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Buildings and Grounds. “Access to the buildings may be affected from time to time by the work but the buildings will remain open throughout the construction.” The county plans to complete the work in phases to avoid interrupting county functions within the Justice Complex or in nearby buildings. “The phase-in plan has been reviewed by the contractors, Ocean County Courthouse officials, Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy and Township building inspectors,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety. “The safety of our visitors and staff and security of the building is of the utmost importance during these construction projects.” The new 600 kW CHP heating and cooling system will generate electricity while capturing and using waste heat
for space heating, cooling, and water heating. For the system, the electrical work needs to be worked on first underneath the plaza, according to officials, which will take about eight months. The electrical work will be done by Kubiak and Sons. “One of the first steps to installing the Combined Heat and Power & Fuel Cell (CHP) at the Justice Complex is the consolidation of the exterior electric service,” said Assistant Administrator Michael Fiure. “This work will require the removal of the existing concrete from the plaza at the Justice Complex. “It’s key the public is aware that some changes will take place in order to access the building safely,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little. “We are doing all we can to make sure notification is made to the public prior to work beginning.” While this is also going on, the upgrades to the stairs, handicapped access ramp and doors leading will be worked on by A Plus Glass and Metal, Hasbrook Heights, which should take approximately 120 days. “These upgrades including new automatic doors, and improvements to the stairs and handicapped ramp will allow for better and safer access into the building by all of our visitors,” Vicari said. “Once it’s all back together, the public will enjoy a new plaza area by the Justice Complex.”

Taking Charge: 7 Tips For Longer-Lasting Hearing Aid Batteries
The dinner was delicious, the dishes are done, and you’re settling in for a double feature on Netflix only to hear the “beep, beep” of your nonrechargeable hearing aid batteries going dead. Argh! How can you make the next set of nonrechargeables last longer? Take control with these seven tips: Find the Right Match: Batteries are available in various sizes, types, and performance levels, so it’s important to find the right fit for your hearing aids. Count on your hearing-care specialist, who can help ensure your hearing devices are matched up with the appropriate battery products. Prepare Before You Pull: Hearing aid batteries come with a stay-fresh colored tab that helps keep them from discharging prematurely. Once the tab’s pulled and the batteries activate, however, they can’t be deactivated, so first be sure you’re ready to use ’em. Wait 3-5 minutes before closing the battery door or the voltage of the battery would get to 1.45 volts. Acquire Only What You Need: It might seem like a good idea to stockpile lots of batteries, but even those that remain unopened in their packaging can lose power over time. Limit your supply to what you’ll reasonably put into service in a year, and use those with the earliest sell-by dates first. Power Down: Just as turning off lights conserves energy and saves bulb life, powering down your devices when not using them helps batteries last. Turn off your hearing aids — including completely opening the battery door — when they’re not in use.
Keep Water Out: Moisture — practically kryptonite to hearing aids — can damage batteries, too. Protect your devices from water sources including sweat, and help further reduce moisture by leaving the battery door open to dry out after removing the batteries at night. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Hot cars and super-cold spaces aren’t great places for your hearing aid batteries. Extreme temperatures can do a number on battery life, so store them at room temperature whenever possible and not in the refrigerator. Rein Them In: Loose change in your pockets or purse always comes in handy, but loose batteries are a no-no. Batteries can react negatively with metals such as keys and coins, so consider storing them separately in their own packaging or another container. Getting the most out of your batteries helps you get the most from your hearing technology — and save money, too! For more tips and tricks on making your batteries last longer, call us today at 732-818-3610. Remember at Garden State Hearing when you purchase hearing aids the batteries are FREE. Dead Batteries? Consider Recycling Most newer household batteries no longer contain mercury, but they still have toxic elements that can pollute waterways and impact air quality. When getting rid of old batteries, recycling may be an option. Check with your city, county, or state household hazardous waste management program for proper recycling or disposal options.
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!

7 Medical Benefits Of Kiwi Fruit By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Kiwi is among my favorite fruits of all time. It’s also known as “Chinese Gooseberry.” The little black seeds in kiwi do more than just get stuck in your teeth. They give you a small amount of healthy omega 3 fatty acids. An average kiwi has about 30 milligrams of alpha-linolenic acid. Kiwi is a great source of natural vitamin C and A. It is a good source of natural folate, thiamin and riboflavin. Kiwi also offers some vitamin K (phylloquinone) and minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. In this regard, it’s great for blood pressure and bones! The fleshy part green part gives you an added bonus of fiber which promotes smooth traffic through your colon (regularity) and simulate healthy probiotic growth. 1. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Kiwi has compounds in it that reduce activation of intestinal cells which ruin your gut. This reduces inflammation in the gut. 2. Asthma and Wheezing - Kiwi is rich in all kinds of antioxidants especially vitamin C which promotes collagen, and that promotes healthy breathing. There was a study published in Thorax that evaluated children and asthma symptoms. The kiwi-consuming group had less wheezing and noticed fewer nocturnal coughing fits. 3. Depression and PMS Melancholy - Some foods are naturally high in serotonin and tomatoes are one of them. Kiwis have twice as much serotonin as tomatoes. Serotonin is a “happy” brain
chemical that lifts mood, induces relaxation and boosts self-esteem. People who are aggressive or hostile, or live in “fight” mode might be low in serotonin. I have a longer version of this article at my website in case you want more details. Eating kiwis can essentially make a person feel more content because it acts as a natural fruit anti-depressant! 4. Sleep - Serotonin converts in the body to melatonin, a sleep hormone. So eating kiwis should help you fall asleep faster, and sleep a little bit longer. Eat one or two right after dinner. 5. Your eyes - Natural antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin are needed to support vision. Kiwi contains these special eye-loving nutrients. If you’re suffering with glaucoma or cataracts, why not eat a kiwi today each day as part of your diet. 6. Respiratory Infections - There was some research published in Advances in Food and Nutrition Research in 2013. Compounds in kiwi were found to modulate the immune response making it a great fruit to eat if you have suppressed immunity or chronic sinus/lung infections. 7. Anemia - If you’re iron deficient and supplementing with iron tablets, you can boost the amount of iron your body takes up with vitamin C containing fruits such as kiwi or orange juice. Kiwi is a refreshing fruit that has many medical benefits. Just be aware that you might be allergic to kiwi if you’re allergic to peanuts. There is a cross-sensitivity with tree nuts and kiwi. If you’ve never had it before, be sure to peel the fuzzy skin off before eating it.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Father’s Day Gift
Dear Joel, My husband is an amazing father to our three children ages 8, 10, and 14. He goes to their school events, reviews their homework and spends time with them on the weekends. When I asked them what ideas they had concerning Father’s Day all I got was a few grunts followed by “I don’t know.” Their lack of interest really disappoints me. What can you suggest I do to make this Father’s Day a memorable one? Answer I’ll admit buying gifts for dad isn’t always easy, so rather than a gift, why not have them participate in an activity that will remind them just how lucky they are to have such a special father. How about putting together a video with
pictures from their favorite times together or have them write a song using dad’s favorite expressions and hobbies which they would perform on Father’s Day. Be sure to record the whole thing. They might be kicking and screaming at the start and that’s o.k. They’ll learn that being grateful and appreciative is cool and by the end I’m sure they will have really had fun while they count their blessings. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Time To Review Your Will

By Marc S. Galella, Esq, of R.C. Shea and Associates
Anytime is a good time to review your estate planning documents. Let’s start with your Last Will and Testament. Have you reviewed it in the last year? If not, now is a good time. First, look at the persons who you have appointed as your executor, guardian and trustee. Are those persons still capable of acting in that capacity? Are they still willing to act? Is there any reason why you would not want them to act under your Will? Review the specific bequests and devises in your Will. This is the part of the Will where you leave specific items, real estate or money to specific persons. Are those persons still worthy of receiving those assets? Are there additional persons that you want add to your Will? Do you still own the items identified in your Will? Are there any other items that you want to leave to specific persons? Review the persons named in your Will who are receiving the remainder of your estate. Are those persons still deserving of your assets? If you are leaving your estate in different percentages to your beneficiaries, are those percentages still what you want? Are they any other persons who you want to add to your Will? Are any of the persons named in your Will incapacitated or receiving governmental benefits? Perhaps the assets left to those persons are best left in a trust.
Review your Power of Attorney. Are the persons you appointed in that document still capable of acting for Marc S. Galella Esq. you? Do they still want to act on your behalf? Are there other persons who you want to name to act for you? Is there any reason why a person that you named should no longer act for you? Do you have a Power of Attorney? Maybe you did not need one the last time you prepared a Will, but maybe you should consider preparing one now. Review your Living Will. Ask yourself the same questions as your Power of Attorney. Has there been any changes in your medical conditions that would change the medical directives in your current Living Will? If after reviewing your current estate planning documents you feel that they should be changed, now is the time to discuss your concerns with an estate planning attorney. The attorneys at R. C. Shea and Associates have over 100 combined years of preparing estate planning documents. Call us to schedule an appointment to review your documents with you.

Toms River Artist Community Hosting Art Show For Manchester Students
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Manchester Township High School students are getting a chance to have their work on display at the Toms River Artist Community Gallery (TRAC) in Downtown Toms River. The TRAC has organized an art show for the students where TRAC artists will judge and choose winners. Winners will be presented at a gallery reception on June 13, 5-7 p.m. “We are truly excited to be exhibiting our students’ work at TRAC,” said MTHS art teachers Teena Spinelli-O’Connell and Ashley Gawlik. Spinelli-O’Connell and Gawlik are coordinating the student entries for the show. The art show is expected to consist of about 40-50 pieces of work ranging from 2D to 3D mediums, including: painting, charcoal, drawing, clay, papier mache, and mixed media. The TRAC is a group of creators looking to improve and enhance creativity and facilitate opportunities within the art world, in the greater Toms River area. TRAC also has an art gallery inside the Downtown Shops@53 Main St., public shows, and events that are open to the public year-round. “Community outreach is very important to us and the art show for the students of Manchester Township High School is an example of that,” said Travis Applegate, TRAC president. Earlier this spring, the organization hosted a similar show for arts students at Toms River South High School.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 9 - JUne 15 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Luck has little to do with it. Hold off until the end of the week to test your luck on games of chance. Those in charge may expect you to be efficient and proficient so it is a good idea to get your priorities straight. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It is always darkest before the dawn. A family problem will have a simple solution. Your brilliant ideas won’t get much airplay now, but you could organize them and present them later in the week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Remain optimistic and repeat positive mantras to ward off suspicions and mistrust. Tell a few jokes and find ways to put people at ease. Avoid misunderstandings by being open minded and forgiving as this week unfolds. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Money comes in and money goes out. It is in your best interest to remain philosophical about holding on to it. You might be spurred to achieve greater financial stability by partners in the upcoming week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be wise when you make your buys. Wait until late in the week to make key purchases or financial decisions. The desire for more luxurious furnishings or the need to provide for family members may egg you on. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t join the band of people who refuse to understand. Gossip can drive a wedge between you and a friend. In the week to come you would be wise to sidestep controversies and to choose your companions wisely.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): First things first. This might be a good week to make improvements or fixes in the household, but you must focus on fulfilling your obligations toward others before you will have the time to handle your own. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The possibilities are endless. Because you are cooperative and optimistic you are apt to hook up with helpful people this week. Determined effort will create positive results if you are cautious about cash outlays. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may have a blind spot. You might be unaware that someone has done you a favor behind the scenes. Remain thrifty in the upcoming week even if it doesn’t make sense to do so in some situations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sometimes rules seem illogical. Your complaints and suggestions will probably fall on deaf ears, so you should keep your own counsel in the upcoming week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There is no reason to conceal your net worth, talents or abilities. Your partner or significant other might have a valuable idea and need your input or resources to make it a reality. The second half of the week is best. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It may be sunny by the pool but there may still be shadows behind the hedge. Exert your charm to soothe ruffled feathers. Even healthy relationships can fall prey to temporary misgivings or doubts in the week ahead.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Berry Sweet: Create The Perfect Showcase For Fresh Berries With This Rice Tart By Wolfgang Puck We’re all used to the fact that modern shipping now makes it possible for us to enjoy most varieties of fresh berries year round. Whether it is blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or something more exotic, we can walk into any supermarket and usually find those plump, juicy, sweet jewels whenever we crave them. But berry lovers also know another simple truth: Nothing beats the texture, taste or beauty of berries that are absolutely fresh, locally grown, and in season. No better possible proof of that fact is when they flood the farmers’ market stands from mid-spring through late summer. One of my favorite ways to eat berries is just as they come from nature, popping them into my mouth like candy. It’s not unusual for half a carton or more to disappear during my short drive home from the farmers’ market! Why try to improve upon perfection? So when I’m thinking of recipes for them, I don’t want to do anything that transforms them too much. Instead, I like to come up with beautiful, delicious ways to showcase them in all their glory. That’s the goal of my recipe for a rice tart with fresh berries. Just imagine: a crisp, freshly bake pastry shell, filled with a cool, custardy rice pudding and topped with beautiful ripe whole blackberries, blueberries or raspberries, or sliced strawberries. Even better, each slice reveals a delightful surprise: another layer of fresh berries, concealed beneath the filling! Not only does the presentation look amazing but it also provides the perfect combination of flavors and textures, with the relatively mild, creamy texture and pale color of the rice mixture perfectly highlighting the fruit the same way an artist’s canvas showcases a painting. For the best possible results, I don’t use just any rice for the filling. Instead, I start with Arborio rice, the same variety of plump, short grains traditionally used in Italian risotto. With a generous amount of surface starch that dissolves into the cooking liquid, and the chewy-yet-tender al dente consistency, the rice adds enjoyable body and texture to the pudding. I also add fresh vanilla bean, grated orange zest and a splash of Grand Marnier liqueur to spark the flavor and subtly complement the berries. You’ll find the recipe surprisingly easy to make. In fact, if you’re pressed for time, you don’t even have to prepare the pastry yourself. You could instead use frozen pastry for a single-crust pie shell from the supermarket, thawed following the manufacturer’s instructions. Once your homemade or store-bought crust is done, in little more than an hour and a half you and your family and friends will be enjoying a beautiful, delicious way to celebrate the seasonal harvest. RICE TART WITH FRESH BERRIES Serves 6 to 8 For the sugar dough: 2/3 pound (335 g) unsalted butter, slightly softened 2 1/4 cups (560 mL) pastry flour 2 1/4 cups (560 mL) all-purpose flour Pinch kosher salt 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 2 large egg yolks 4 teaspoons heavy cream
1 to 2 tablespoons ice water, if needed For the tart filling: 1/2 cup (125 mL) Arborio rice 2 cups (500 mL) whole milk Zest of 2 oranges 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise with a sharp knife, seeds carefully scraped out and reserved 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 4 large egg yolks 1/2 cup Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream, lightly whipped About 2 cups (500 mL) fresh raspberries, blue berries, blackberries, or sliced strawberries, plus extra for garnish At least several hours ahead, prepare the sugar dough: Cut the butter into large pieces, and place in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Add the flours, salt and sugar. Pulse the machine on and off until the butter is evenly distributed. Add the egg yolks and cream. Mix continuously just until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl, adding a little ice water if needed; do not overmix. Remove the dough and, on a lightly floured surface, flatten into a round. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight. For the tart, preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Roll the dough to a thickness of about 3/8 inch (9 mm). Use it to line an 8-inch (25-cm) pie tin or tart tin. Place the tin on a baking sheet, line it with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights. Bake until golden brown. Remove from the oven, leaving the oven on, and leave the tart shell at room temperature to cool. Remove the pie weights. For the tart filling: Put the rice in a saucepan, and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Drain in a wiremeshed sieve. Put the milk, orange zest, vanilla bean seeds and pod, and sugar in an ovenproof saucepan. Add the rice and bring to a boil. Cover, place in the 350 F (175 C) oven, and cook until the rice is tender-chewy and the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, put the softened butter in a mixing bowl and stir vigorously with a sturdy wooden spoon until smooth and creamy. One at a time, add the egg yolks, beating each into the butter with the wooden spoon until thoroughly incorporated before adding the next. The mixture should look smooth and satiny. When the rice is done, transfer the saucepan to the stovetop over very low heat, remove and discard the vanilla pod, and whisk in the butter-egg mixture, stirring until thickened. Stir in the Grand Marnier, remove from the heat and leave at room temperature to cool. Transfer the rice mixture to a mixing bowl. With a sturdy rubber spatula, fold in the lightly whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate until nearly set. Line the bottom of the tart shell with about half of the berries in an even layer. Pour in the rice mixture, smooth it out and refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Decorate the top with most of the remaining berries. To serve, use a sharp knife to cut into wedges, transfer to serving plates, and garnish the plates with a few more berries.
