By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The township will be creating a new in-house position in the hopes of saving taxpayer dollars.
The Manchester Township Council approved on first reading an ordinance to create a “utilities electrician.” Final approval is sched-
uled for 6 p.m. Aug. 13 at the next township council meeting. The proposed salary range is $100,000 to $110,000 to start, which
is a savings, Business Administrator Donna Markulic said. He or she will be part of the OPEIU Local 32: White Collar Bargaining Unit.
“We will save approximately $150,000 a year as a safe estimate for now, but do expect the savings to increase in the coming years
with the increased work on the water systems,” M a r k u l ic t old T h e Manchester Times. The township spent (Money - See Page 5)

–Photo by Jennifer Peacock The newly renovated instructional building, one of five original buildings on the OCC campus. By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Ocean County College officials unveiled the newly renovated instructional building recently. The ribbon cutting to celebrate the reopening of the building was held July 26, with OCC President Jon H. Larson, Board of Trustees Chair Carl Van Thulin, and Buildings and Grounds Chair Linda L. Novak offering comments. Freeholder John C. Bartlett, who is liaison to the college, was scheduled but unable to attend. Constructed in 1965, the original three-story 62,000-square-foot instructional building was one of the fi rst five buildings on the campus, holding 18 classrooms, 20 labs and office space for 34. (The other original campus buildings are
the library, the gymnasium, the college center, and the lecture hall.) It was the only classroom building on campus at that time, when it opened to students in 1967. The heating plant for the entire campus was housed in that original building. “When I first came to town, my first meeting with John Bartlett, we discussed renovating this building,” Larson said. “That was in 2000. It only took us 18 years to get here, but by gosh, we are here now.” Renovation plans for the building were initiated in 2013. Renovations took 16 months to complete. The building will be open for use for the fall 2018 semester. Classes begin Sept. 5. The interior was stripped down to the walls, (OCC - See Page 9)
By Jennifer Peacock oug Bollinger was such a jock in high school, he didn’t realize the correct term was “audition” when trying out for a part in his school’s musical. He played soccer and baseball, but didn’t play winter sports. At his parents’ urging, and his public speaking teacher’s encouragement, he “tried out” for a part and got it, and loved the audience reactions to his time acting on stage. When not playing sports, he occupied his afternoons practicing his roles in “Scrooge,” “Grease,” and “West Side Story.” Fast forward: after playing soccer at Ithaca
College, and transferring to Montclair State University to pursue acting, Bollinger was a working actor who completed his certification in Theater Education. He’s done work in and around New York City in both film and theater, and now teaches full time at the OCVTS Performing Arts Academy. When he has extra t i me (t hat’s a joke teachers will get), he writes and acts in projects. His thriller film, The Samaritans, played at the 11th Annual Jersey Shore Film Festival, which ran Aug. 1-12. The Samaritans will show 7:30 p.m. Aug. 9 at the House of Independents, 572 Cookman (Film - See Page 4)

Stevie Doueck and his staff have created a true filmmaker experience. They have been very proactive with their communications with us and we look forward to the experience of not only screening our film but watching other films as well. I will be at as many events and venues as I can! I have reached to local filmmakers that are involved and I hope to continue to build the network of local artists that has been blowing up in and around Monmouth and Ocean County. Asbury Park will serve as the perfect backdrop for this festival and I can’t wait to show filmmakers from around the country our cool little arts
Money:
Continued From Page 1 $829,453 in electrician costs, which includes buildings and grounds and utility department charges, from 2013-2017, and has already spent $125,734 so far in 2018. A surge to upgrade the township’s
hub of Asbury Park. I am also so psyched to be able to invite locals to see our film. Many of our films have had distribution or appeared in New York City. Being a local, I plan on having a wide representation of support from high school, college, my time as an ice cream man, our school, my neighborhood, etc.,” Bollinger said. The story of The Samaritans centers around four coworkers trying to finish a project at their manager’s home. They’re trying to perfect an App they’ve been working on together remotely, and the first time they all meet face-to-face, they realize they have more in common than they thought. “Their pasts have provoked a vengeful force to show them the errors in their ways. The home they have been summoned to becomes their court and their prison. Can they prove that history doesn’t repeat itself? Can they redeem themselves before time runs out? Will they figure out their fateful bond before revenge has its way with them?” the
teaser reads. Bollinger wrote the script in several weeks, and the movie was shot in his Neptune City house in four days. Post production lasted about 18 months. “It was an experience we will never forget. It was a communal four-day period that went smoothly largely because the six people involved collaborated and contributed without ego or controversy. I had to rely on my team since I was doing triple duty as writer/director/actor,” Bollinger said. “We are thrilled with the finished product and look forward to the next phase of this journey. We hope to secure worldwide distribution before the year ends.” The movie stars Bollinger as Eddie, Keith Collins as Frank, Timothy Laurel Harrison as Daisy and Annelise Nielsen as Rosie. “Scary (or in our case, unsettling) movies remind us that we are okay. It gives the adrenaline rush of something uncomfortable and potential dangerous within the safe
confines of our theater or home. Watching people watch our film and squirm a little makes us happy!” Bollinger said. “With Samaritans, we also have an element of humor. Quite often films in the thriller/ horror genre add comic moments to let us exhale a bit during what is hopefully a tense ride. We felt very strongly about this. I happen to play the ‘funny’ character and we have found that the laughs we get during screenings are genuine stress releases for our audience. I am not sure what is more satisfying as a filmmaker - to hear people gasp or laugh.” Another locally-shot feature film, Rock, Paper, Scissors, is in post-production and should be making the fall film festival rounds. His film, The Evangelist, has had world-wide distribution and its Portuguese overdub gave it a successful run in Brazil. For more information about The Samaritans, visit imdb.com/title/tt5486552/.
water systems started in 2016 and will continue due to aging infrastructure, “so we expect these higher costs in the area of utilities electrical work to continue,” Markulic said. The township does not currently employ anyone in-house who is a licensed electrician who meets the qualifications. If
the creation of this position is ultimately approved, the township will be posting the position publicly to fill it. Manchester will be looking for a New Jersey licensed electrician with at least five years’ experience to install, inspect, repair, service and maintain the township’s electrical and HVAC equipment. That person will likely
work out of the utilities building, housed on Route 571. “We will need to have a contract for an electrician in case of vacations/illness of employee or if the job is so large we may need assistance of a second utilities electrician. It will be a pay only when you use them contract,” Markulic added.

Georgian Court’s History-Making Season
By Chris Christopher LAKEWOOD – The Georgian Court University women’s lacrosse team has made history. The Lions became the first team in history to win the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament title four times. The top-seeded Lions captured their latest title with a 22-12 win over third-ranked Chestnut Hill College at the GCU Track and Field Complex in front of 286 fans in Lakewood. Georgian Court, which closed its schedule with nine straight wins, also won the crown in 2010, 2011 and last season. The CACC debuted the sport in 2009. This year’s team was 13-6 overall, including 11-0 against CACC opponents. The Lions are 22-0 against CACC foes over the last two years. The Griffi ns closed their season at 12-7. Junior attack Samantha Fernandez, a former Toms River High School South player, led the Lions with eight goals in the final and was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. Freshman midfielder Madison Heck (Donovan Catholic) added 16 draw controls. Junior goalie Amber Neumann (Brick Memorial) contributed 10 saves to push her record to 13-6. Fernandez made the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Association Atlantic Region second team. She put home 65 goals and added 17 assists for a GCU-best 82 points. She was third in the CACC in goals. She also was named to the All-CACC first team for the second straight year. GCU senior midfielder Taylor Bauerband (Toms River North) and Neumann made the All-CACC first team after starring during the regular season. Heck was a second-team selection. Bauerband scored 40 goals and added three assists in 14 games. She scored a
season-high six goals on two separate occasions. She scored more than 100 career goals. She added 35 ground balls and 50 draws this year. Neumann was 9-0 in CACC play. She was second in the CACC with an 11.96 goals against average and third overall with a .444 save percentage. She collected 135 saves on the year. Heck put home 14 goals and added nine assists in 16 games (15 starts). She added 40 ground balls and 44 draw controls Other local players on the team were sophomore midfielder Lauren Onnembo (Point Pleasant Boro), freshman attack Emily Zuccarelli (Freehold Township), freshman attack Caroline Keller (a Freehold resident who played for Colts Neck), freshman attack Morgan Dinse (Brick Memorial) and senior defender Tiffani Kipila (Jackson Memorial). Onnembo, who played in 14 games and started eight, scored eight goals and added 14 ground balls, three draw controls and five caused turnovers. Zuccarelli finished with three goals, five ground balls and one caused turnovers in five games (one start). Keller wound up with four goals, nine ground balls and five caused turnovers in 11 games as a reserve. Dinse finished with one goal in seven games off the bench. Kipila, who appeared in and started 18 games, netted two goals and added one assist, 14 ground balls and 12 caused turnovers. Bauerband and Neumann were the local athletes who earned berths on the 20188 CACC Women’s Lacrosse All-Academic Team. Bauerband, who made the team for the third time, topped the CACC Tournament champions with a 3.88 grade point average as a business administration major. Neumann, the owner of a 3.80 grade point average as a mathematics/education major, made the team for the second time.

The renovation includes: new heating, cooling and electrical systems; modern bathrooms; new elevator; new security system; new 3,000-square-foot atrium; 24 new classrooms with modernized AV systems; three new engineering labs; new 110-seat lecture hall; three new student lounges; and office space for 38. Sara Winchester, OCC executive vice president of Finance & Administration, said via email the total cost of the renovation of the instructional building was approximately $14 million. Funding was provided by the New Jersey State Higher Education Capital Facilities Fund (GO Bond) and the County of Ocean. The heating system has been relocated to a new, centralized plant. “It’s been converted into a beautiful and very high-tech building,” Larson said.

In partnership with OCC, the new building will allow the Ocean County Vocational Technical School to offer an Early College Program. PAA high school students will have the opportunity to graduate with a high school diploma and an associate’s degree at the same time. Ocean County College students will have the benefit of using the unique facility and the PAA students will have access to the entire campus. This project was made possible through a unique funding model that includes support from the County of Ocean, the State of New Jersey, and The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation.”

They will lose their homes. What is wrong with our elected officials? Have they no mercy? Our representatives are in Washington to serve me and those families? They have created a country of GoFundMe pages, spaghetti dinners and bike runs. What has the Cong ress done? They have systematically taken away decency, civility and prosperit y. Washington has perverted the Constitution and its founders’ fundament al pr i nciples. T he purpose of having elected officials seated in their position is to legislate and govern the land and lead our nation to greatness. This 115th session alone has failed us. So here is my direction for the next 100 days.... Protect the investigation. Do not select a Supreme Cou r t Ju st ice. Restore CHIP funding to Americans. Fund SNAP benefits to all citizens.
ele c t e d r e p r e s e nt at ive doesn’t understand that ever yone, even renters, pay proper t y taxes. As most people who have rented know, included in your rental fee is the cost that the landlord pays in property tax. According to the State of NJ Department of Treasury website “For tenants, 18% of rent paid during the year is considered property taxes paid.” I’m unsure how someone in his position could fail to be aware of this. Sadder still is the implication that somehow renters aren’t good enough to hold elected of f ice. D o e s To m M a cA r t hu r think renters are lesser citizens than those who own property? Does he k now that over 70% of millennials currently rent rather than own? According to a CNBC ar ticle, Baby Boomers are one of t he fa stest g row i ng g roups of renters. A re these folks lesser citizens because they don’t “own” the home they live in? In a quick search, it appears that almost 20 percent of NJ residents are renters. In fact, most people I know have rented a property at some point in their lives. From c ol lege st ude nt s living on or off campus, young people setting out on their own, people who don’t wa nt t he cost of home ownership, or retirees looking to downsize and simplif y their lives, renters are a vital and necessary part of our community. Apparently, Congressman MacArthur is out of touch with how many of the people in his district live.
Letters To The Editor Sorry, Voters, If I Let You Down We did not win, although this campaign carried six counties, nearly tied in two others and got an incredible number of votes (over 158,000). To put this into perspective, the number of votes we garnered was greater than the number of votes cast for all candidates in the 2015 Democratic primary election. We got a lot of votes without spending much money. If we had pulled this off, I would have gone overnight from being the Invisible Woman to being, if not a household name, at least somewhat famous in political circles. So, I am sorry if you were disappointed by the results and by anything I said or did during the campaign. We made some mistakes but I did try my best. I actually sought someone else to run. This was never about me. This is about Medicare For All, a $15/hour living wage, climate change, peace and justice - plus a whole lot more. I lost the election but those policies remain within striking distance, and we
Letters To The must remain persistent to We must put Editor education out running for my life, and I get the victories we need. Keep the faith because we can make miracles happen, as long as we do not give up. I am inspired by Professor Stephen Hawking, who said, “As long as there is life, there is hope” and also, “It matters that you don’t just give up.” So I will persist, and keep struggling to advance the progressive movement to really make this great nation what it once was: The home of a large and growing prosperous middle class where almost everyone had enough to get real enjoyment from life and ordinary people had control over their society. It is no secret how that may be done. We must stop obsessing every time Donald Trump issues a tweet or utters something stupid. We must behave as adults who will not be distracted any longer because there are serious matters to which we must attend. We must reunite families broken at our borders, bring peace to the world instead of war, and disarm those in our own country that have no business carr ying f irearms.

front, keep people ahead of profits and never relent on using common sense or holding ourselves to high standards. We must bring justice and peace to our brothers and sisters, here and all over the world. We must pursue safe, clean energy to power the reconstruction of our infrastructure and the voyages that will take us to the stars. We must protect our children by insuring they have a planet that can sustain life, that they need not fear other people or confront disease we cannot contain. These and so many other urgent matters demand our attention, we cannot allow ourselves to be distracted. We cannot be satisfied with the idea that solutions are beyond our ability. We cannot be afraid of sharing an amazing vision. President Kennedy’s 1963 address to American University graduates is a reminder of how much our political discourse has devolved: “Our problems are manmade - therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man’s reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable - and we believe they can do it again.” I believe that with every fiber in my being. I believed an ordinary person could win an election with almost no money, if she appealed to progressive voters with a message of hope and we almost succeeded. Talk of big ideas and grand solutions may be considered the kiss of death for politicians, but I am not concerned with politics for my sake. I was
will keep going as long as there is breath in me. To the critics, I welcome your advice and will gladly let you do what you can do better if it gets us what we want. To the opposition, I invite you to join us because there are many things we have in common and the best way to vanquish an enemy is by making him a friend. To everyone who believed in, helped and supported me, I am still here. We must go forward and I hope you stay with me, because I could never have gotten this far without you. I want to thank you for your generosity, the love and the honesty that you gave me. We have much more to do and as I said, I cannot do it alone. Lisa McCormick Rahway
Congress Failing To Provide Health Care As a senior American who lives and continues to pay taxes, it is difficult to put into words the incomprehensible deterioration this administration contributes to human hardship of our nation’s people. Congress in the last 700 d ays has systemat ically worked and achieved, eliminating any hope one may wish for a new generation to contribute to this country’s greatness. As I write this I am surrounded literally by young families suffering and struggling to provide life saving health care to their children. They do not have time on their side as they seek treatment for a multitude of different life threatening childhood

Take Control Of Your Health Workshop
MANCHESTER – The Take Control of Your Health Workshop will be offered at the Manchester Library beginning Thursday August 16 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for 6 consecutive weeks In the past eight years the Office of Senior Services has given over 2,000 seniors the opportunity to participate in the Chronic Disease and Diabetes Self-Management workshop. These participants have learned how to make healthier food choices, create an exercise program to meet their needs, manage their emotions and stress, think more positively about their life, communicate clearly with their family, friends and health care providers, experience less pain and fatigue, and have a better overall quality of life. The six-week program, created by Stanford University, provides the tools to manage your health along with a safe environment to share feelings and solutions to problems. Participants motivate and support each other to set new goals and try new ways to adjust to the changes brought about by their health
conditions. There are six to eight topics each week. Snacks are provided during the break of the 2 and ½ hour class, providing examples of portions and healthy choices for participants to follow. The classes are interactive; giving an opportunity to practice new skills and to help others by sharing what has worked for them. The sessions are focused on finding solutions to the problems, rather than the problem itself. Participants learn that by managing their symptoms and utilizing the newly learned skills, they can enjoy an active life with chronic conditions. Breaking down tasks into small steps and succeeding in the goals they set out to accomplish empowers their belief in themselves. The participants receive a resource book “Living a healthy Life with Chronic Conditions” to augment the workshop information and can be used as a continuing reference. If you are looking for a way to manage your health register at the Manchester Library 732657-7600 or contact Louanne at 732-281-8391 for more information.

By Jennifer Peacock SEASIDE HEIGHTS – A Seaside Heights man has been arrested in connection with Superstorm Sandy fraud. Robert William Brower, 45, was charged in two separate cases, with money laundering, theft by failure to make required disposition, and theft by deception, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office announced. The charges come after an 18-month investigation by multiple county, state and federal agencies. Officials allege Brower acted as a home contractor who defrauded a Toms River victim of more than $1 million to renovate a Sandy-damaged home. During that initial investigation, officials learned over a second separate incident where Brower allegedly received more than $200,000 in public disaster relief he applied for, and deposited into bank accounts rather than rehabilitating property as required. Officials allege he used fraudulent information to open those accounts to avoid detection. He’s being lodged at Ocean County Jail pending a detention hearing.

Rabbi William Gershon Joins Congregation B’nai Israel Of Toms River
& RESTAURANT
TOMS RIVER – Creating Jewish Memories at the Jersey Shore is the motto of Congregation B’nai Israel (CBI) of Toms River, New Jersey so it is only fitting that a Jersey Boy returns to his roots as Rabbi of this 68 year old congregation. CBI is excited to announce the appointment of Rabbi William Gershon as Interim Rabbi and his return to the Jersey Shore in time for the High Holidays. Rabbi Gershon will join Hazzan Steven Walvick, who is in his 10th year at CBI, as they together will lead the congregation’s 240 plus member families and provide Jewish leadership to the greater Toms River Jewish Community. By his own words upon introduction to CBI, Rabbi Gershon said “My roots come from New Jersey, where I grew up in Ocean Township (Wanamassa) and my family were members of Temple Beth Torah with Rabbi Jacob Friedman z”l. Many members of my extended family still live in the shore area, making Toms River a very appealing location for an interim rabbinic position.” For 29 years Rabbi Gershon has served pulpits as congregational rabbi in Michigan, Minneapolis and most recently Dallas, at one of the Conservative movement’s flagship congregations. In the words of Philip Brilliant, President of CBI, “Rabbi Gershon is a rabbi’s rabbi in the world of rabbi’s! I knew the minute I was introduced to him that CBI and Rabbi Gershon met at this time because, as my mother always said, ‘it was meant to be.’ Rabbi Gershon was our destiny.” Most of Rabbi Gershon’s career has been devoted to education and engagement with a long track record of creating innovative educational models and programs that address the needs and spiritual yearnings of a wide range of ages. He has built his career on cultivating deep, meaningful and long-lasting relationships, creating and sharing powerful and intimate spiritual moments and going beyond the walls of the synagogue to engage Jews wherever they may be geographically, emotionally and spiritually. “My style of leadership is one of collaboration and team building with an emphasis on maximizing compelling Jewish experiences,

meaningful learning and spiritual growth in both traditional and non-traditional settings,” said Rabbi Gershon. Rabbi Gershon is a past President of the Rabbinical Assembly, the international organization of Conservative/Masorti Rabbis and continues to serve on its Executive Council. Rabbi Gershon has served on the Boards of Directors or Advisory Leadership Committees of many major Jewish organizations including National Council of AIPAC, The Jewish Theological Seminary, Council of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations. He has been honored in the past by the State of Israel Bonds with The Israel Freedom Award, the UJA Rabbinic Cabinet with the Rabbinic Leadership Award and been awarded the Solomon Schechter Award in Family Education. Rabbi Gershon is a graduate of the Joint Program of Columbia University and The Jewish Theological Seminary, where he graduated with honors. He also earned a Masters of Arts in Jewish Studies and received his Rabbinic Ordination and most recently an Honorary Doctorate from JTS. Rabbi Gershon will arrive at CBI on August 27, however he is already working with Hazzan Walvick, the staff and Board of CBI to plan for the coming year. “With the arrival of Rabbi Gershon the congregation is poised for an inspirational beginning to the New Year and a bright future.”

The Connection Between Allergies And Hearing Loss
We’re here to help you. Sneezing and congestion may be the most obvious symptoms of seasonal allergies, but these annual annoyances can also cause lasting damage to your hearing. If you experience seasonal allergies, you’re no doubt familiar with the itching, sneezing and congestion that grows with the new flowers each spring. These are the typical symptoms of a seasonal allergic reaction, but there’s one symptom that you may not be aware of, hearing loss. Less common than other allergy symptoms and often mild, this kind of hearing loss is frequently overshadowed by other debilitating effects like sneezing and itchy eyes. Fortunately, most forms of allergy-related hearing loss are the result of congestion. The eustachian tubes – small vents in the back of the throat that regulate air pressure in the middle ear – can become clogged by mucus or swelling as easily as the sinuses or nasal cavity, producing a feeling of fullness in the ear and causing speech to sound distant or muffled. Once the congestion dissipates, the eustachian tubes usually clear and hearing returns to normal. On rare occasions, though, the
eustachian tubes don’t clear, which can result in a burst eardrum. This happens when fluid gathers in the middle ear. If too much fluid or air builds up too quickly with no drain available, the pressure can cause a rupture. This can result in significant hearing damage, but fortunately, with a bit of vigilance, you can protect your hearing throughout the year. If you experience any of the following symptoms during allergy season, contact us immediately. 1. A sudden change in your hearing abilities 2. Voices sounding muffled or muddied 3. Feeling like you need to “pop” your ears, or that your ears are “full” 4. Dizziness or vertigo 5. Nagging pain within the ear, especially if it is prolonged or seems to be getting worse with time 6. Fluid discharge from the ear While medications are available to reduce the risk of infection and alleviate congestion, and surgical intervention can be prescribed for severe cases, the key to protecting your hearing is detecting potential problems as early as possible.
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!

Mangoes Are Magnificent Unless You Are Allergic
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Mangoes are one of the most popular fruits around the world. The first thing I want you to know is that the peel of the fruit is a common cause for dermatitis for some of you. It contains the same compound found in poison ivy, oak and sumac which is called urushiol which the plant uses as its own defense mechanism. Mango fruit contain many different antioxidants, some of which you might recognize like Vitamin A, Vitamin C, copper, potassium and magnesium. Eating it regularly could provide some protection against a wide range of physiological disorders, infection and pain. Here are some things that mangoes can do to improve your health: 1. Reduce Blood Sugar: Researchers fed mice some freeze-dried mango meal, and gave the other half of the mice a medication for diabetes called Rosiglitazone (Avandia). The mangoes worked as well at reducing blood sugar as the prescription drug! 2. Reduce Pain and Inflammation: Like most other fruits, mango contains a class of compounds called polyphenols. These are known to be hugely beneficial, particularly for their anti-inflammatory properties. When you reduce inflammation, you naturally reduce pain too. 3. Relieve Constipation: Eating more fiber can make a big difference, and mangoes (like all fruits and vegetables) gives you a jump start on that by providing a lot of natural fiber. But it stands apart from other
fruits due to the way mangiferin and other compounds that reduce intestinal inflammation. A recent study showed that eating one mango each day improved constipation symptoms much more than taking an equivalent amount of dietary fiber. 4. Protect Your GI Tract: Tons of research has focused on the gut microbiome (the mix of bacteria in the gut) in the past few years. We know that probiotics can have a positive influence, but who thinks of mangoes?! The research I read shows that mice fed a diet rich in mango showed dramatic alterations in their gut bacteria. It helps to normalize your gut flora. 5. Protects Your Brain: Mango leaf extract has even been shown to protect the brain. In mice exposed to cadmium, a toxic heavy metal that causes serious brain damage, mango leaf extract was shown to protect the brain. If you’re not allergic to mangoes, add them to your salads and smoothies. Please be sure one hundred percent sure you are not allergic to this delicious fruit, because again, the skin/peel, stem and leaves impart urushiol, which is also found in poison ivy. It doesn’t impact everyone, in fact I’m not allergic at all the mangoes, but for some, the reaction can cause your lips and tongue, or the skin around your lips and chin to itch and burn. It can cause fullon anaphylaxis! So I just want you to be warned mangoes like many tropical fruits can cause a problem, and sometimes it’s a new onset allergy. If you’re not sensitive, enjoy them as often as you can.

Oyster Creek Decommissioning Could Be Complete In 8 Years
By Kimberly Bosco LACEY – On July 31, Exelon Generation, owner of the Oyster Creek Generating Station, signed a purchase agreement with a New Jersey company for the ownership of the nuclear power plant, which could significantly speed up decommissioning. Holtec International of Camden wants to purchase Oyster Creek, which officials claim will hasten the decommissioning process by
nearly half a century. Holtec is a global leader in used nuclear fuel management technologies, according to Exelon. The company also plans to take over spent fuel storage and the decommissioning trust fund, should the deal become official. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Holtec will take over the decommissioning process, decreasing the decommissioning timeline from Exelon’s estimated 60 years to just 8 years.
“As the new owner of the plant, Holtec will contract with Comprehensive Decommissioning International, LLC (CDI) to perform the decontamination and decommissioning of the plant,” stated Holtec President and CEO, Dr. Kris Singh in a press release. “With its experience and state-of-the-art technologies, CDI is well equipped to decommission Oyster Creek within eight years, more than 50 years ahead of the industry-allowed 60-year timeline.”
Jeff Tittel, Director of the NJ Sierra Club, has been outspoken in the past about his belief that the plant can be decommissioned in less than 60 years. “The positives of this purchase are that they plan on decommissioning and cleaning up the plant within eight years instead of 60. This is what the Sierra Club has called for and will be safer for the community and better for the environment,” said Tittel. However, he also labels transparency and oversight issues as outstanding problems with the purchase. “Our major concern with Holtec taking over the clean-up is that they may cut corners due to the limited funding,” he added. He stated that the change of hands is cause for concern, but continues to emphasize the benefits of closing Oyster Creek down early. “The sooner they decommission the site, the better off we’ll be. The faster they clean it up, the safer we will be…but we want to know more about the goals of Holtec and their own clean-up proposal,” said Tittel. The purchase agreement must first be finalized by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Holtec must submit a new decommissioning plan for the plant. The community will again have opportunities for review and comments on the decommissioning plan while the NRC and other regulators evaluate. Exelon also noted that the transaction will not impact the scheduled shutdown of Oyster Creek, emphasizing that Holtec will speed up the decommissioning process “with the highest standard of safety, quality and environmental stewardship.” Oyster Creek is scheduled to close down September 17, 2018; a decade earlier than originally planned. Exelon’s Chief Nuclear Officer Bryan Hanson called it a “landmark agreement.” “With three decades of experience in nuclear fuel technologies and a partnership with global decommissioning leader SNC-Lavalin, Holtec is ideally positioned to complete the decommissioning of Oyster Creek safely and swiftly,” stated Hanson in the release. Hanson also noted that Holtec will provide work for employees facing relocation. CDI, Holtec’s contracted decommissioning experts, will be required to employ Oyster Creek decommissioning employees as part of the purchasing agreement. Further, nuclear spent fuel from Oyster Creek could potentially be sent to an autonomous consolidated interim storage facility (CISF) in New Mexico, pending the approval of Holtec’s license application, according to Exelon. Should Holtec become licensed, it would allow the Oyster Creek site to be viable for unrestricted use sooner, since spent fuel will not be stored on site. Once the purchasing agreement is finalized and the transaction closed, the decommissioning funds, an upwards of $890 million, will be transferred to Holtec. In response to the news of the potential sale of Oyster Creek, Lacey Township Mayor Nick Juliano told Jersey Shore Online that he plans to do his research on Holtec International. Having reached out to the mayor of Camden, where Holtec is based, Juliano is looking to know more about the potential future partner to make sure that the corporate/township relationship remains a strong, beneficial one for residents. “I’m hoping these people [Holtec] could be the same thing,” as Exelon was to the township - a good partner – he said. Juliano also noted that in early discussions Holtec officials have already discussed various plans for redeveloping and utilizing the land.

Freeholders Remember The Forgotten War
TOMS RIVER – Sixty-five years after the end of the Korean War the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders remembers the men and women who served during what historians termed the “Forgotten War.” “More than 7,500 Korean War veterans live in Ocean County,” said Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little. “On the anniversary of the end of this conflict we honor those who were called to that faraway land to fight for freedom.” According to federal statistics, more than 5.7 million Americans served during the Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953 and took the lives of more than 36,500 United States men and women. Little said the Board of Freeholders will honor Korean War veterans with a moment of silence at its August 1 meeting. “In Ocean County we never forget our veterans,” Little said. The fighting ended when a truce was signed

on July 27, 1953. A formal peace treaty between the belligerents was never signed. Deputy Freeholder Director John C. Bartlett Jr. said Ocean County has a proud history of sending soldiers to fight in America’s wars. On the recent occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the county honored its residents who fought in that conflict. Later this year, the county will remember its World War I veterans during a November 11
ceremony at the Ocean County Courthouse. November 11 marks 100 years since the end of the so-called War to End all Wars. “Historians may call Korea the forgotten war, but we remember it here in Ocean County and pay tribute to those who fought,” Bartlett said. Little also thanked President Donald Trump for his efforts to improve relations with the North Korean government and especially for a recent agreement with the North to return the
remains of American war casualties. Published reports say it may take months to positively identify the remains and confirm they are indeed Americans. “Ocean County thanks the President and appreciates his hard work that will hopefully bring our fallen heroes home,” Little said. “We are hopeful this will finally bring closure to many families who lost a loved one during this war.”

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Visitors to Ocean County are a vital part of the economic health. They can be a part of its environmental health as well, by recycling. “Ocean County sees its year-round population double in the summer as we host thousands of visitors here to enjoy boating, beaches, backyard barbecues and numerous recreational activities found throughout the county,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the county’s recycling program. “While we want visitors to enjoy their time here we also ask that they be mindful of the importance of recycling while on vacation. “Whether you are here for the day, the week or the entire summer, recycling while you are in Ocean County is just as important as it is in your own hometown,” Little said. “The county and its municipalities all offer a host of convenient recycling programs that can be accessed by summer visitors.” More than 33,000 tons were recycled in the county last summer. That saved municipalities more than $2.3 million. “Recycling comes with many benefits,” Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. said. “It saves landfill space, it protects the environment and it helps out economically.” Visitors can help their tourist destination towns by looking into local recycling rules and programs. Some towns have single-stream recycling: all recyclables go into one container at the curb. It’s important to not put recyclables in plastic bags, as those can damage equipment. Big green igloos are placed around beaches and marinas for recycling after visits as well. “When you are leaving an area we encourage you to deposit your recyclables in the igloo. It is much more convenient than taking them home with you or back to where you may be staying,” Little said. “The goal of our recycling
–Photo courtesy Ocean County Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little is pictured with an igloo provided by the County for proper disposal of recyclables. program in Ocean County is to make it easy and convenient so people want to recycle.” Recyclables can also be dropped off at recycling centers. Drop-off venues are located at the Northern Ocean County Recycling Center off New Hampshire Avenue in Lakewood and at the Southern Ocean County Recycling Center off Haywood Road in Stafford Township. “These sites are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Little said. “We are also running our household hazardous waste collection program during the summer months to assist homeowners who own vacation homes in the county and need to dispose of items that cannot be tossed out in the regular trash.” The county began recycling in 1991. More than 1.6 million tons has been processed, saving towns more than $114 million by avoiding the landfill, according to county reports.

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS R I V ER – Blind epic poet. Bumbling father from Springfield. First trained tracking bloodhound in New Jersey. Homer. New Jersey’s Homer was a floppy-eared sleuth, purchased as a puppy, sight unseen, in 1960 by Island Heights native Tim Cagney. He became fascinated with the breed while in the military. Cagney’s puppy became the first trained tracking bloodhound in the state, who was a member of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office, the first in the state to use bloodhounds. Today the sheriff’s department has a K-9 unit of 16 dogs, supervised by Sgt. Robert Stack. The unit was recently recognized for its service at a pre-board meeting of the Board of Chosen Freeholders. “All of the dogs in this unit provide a variety of key tasks throughout Ocean County,” Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy said. “In addition to the bloodhounds, we have dogs trained specifically in narcotics, explosives, patrol and arson. Our K9s are well known throughout the county and the state and we are very proud of the dogs and the officers that work and care for them.” K-9s Ger t r ude Penelope a nd K-9 Emmitt, with their partners, officers Christine Casullo and James Kohout respectively, were honored by the Board for their years of service. Gertrude Penelope was rescued and given to the Sheriff’s Department as a fivemonth-old puppy. Now 7 years old, she’s nationally certified though the National Police Bloodhound Association. She’s worked with numerous county and state departments, and has many finds under her nose, including a stabbing suspect.
K-9s Celebrated In Ocean County
Emmitt, 9, who hails from Canada, was donated to the department by the National Police Blood hound Association when he was just 12 weeks old. He’s also nationally cer tif ied th rough the same association, and also has many f inds under his nose, including a bank robber and Alzheimer’s patient. “Both Gertr ude and Emmitt continue to provide a great service to the citizens of Ocean Cou nt y a nd also ou r visitors,” Mastronardy said. “They will be retired once our newest blood hou nds – Fiona and Clifford - have succ e s sf u l l y c o m pl e t e d their training.” Mast ronardy said bloodhounds assist in f inding missing chil–Photo courtesy Ocean County dren and dementia pa- K-9s and their officers were honored for their work.

Drug Addiction In Seniors And Schools
WHITING – On Friday August 24 at 7 pm, Whiting Assembly of God will host a forum on the epidemic opioid drug problem in our country, and specifically what’s happening in Manchester. Come for education and for encouragement. Learn how to help, and where to get help. Nobody should have their life destroyed by addiction, controlled by drugs.
Opioid addiction is not limited to young people. Many seniors fi nd themselves addicted to prescription medicine as well. Moreover, medicine cabinets are no longer the safest place to store potent prescriptions when tradesmen or visitors enter the home. Sgt. Richard Mazza of the Manchester Police Narcotics Team will center his
presentation on their “Not Even Once” program given in township schools. The presentation will cover not only the dimensions of the problem but will address what we can do as a community to help bring it under control. Teen Challenge, a Christian addiction recovery organization, will be on hand to answer questions and offer a pathway to
freedom from addiction. Local business leaders are also offering their support, making this a community-wide effort. The church is located at 83 Lacey Road (Rte. 539), across from the Whiting First Aid building. If you have any questions, please call Whiting Assembly of God at 732-350-4000.

Demo Shows How Fast A Fire Can Spread
–Photo by Judy Smestad-Nunn Children watch as fire spreads through a mock room in a trailer. By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The fire started in a trashcan, and within a matter of seconds it spread to nearby curtains and to the ceiling. The room would have been completely engulfed in flames if not for the sprinkler system, which extinguished the fire immediately. Luckily, the room wasn’t in a home but rather in a burn trailer demonstration held at the Laurelton Firehouse and hosted by The New Jersey Fire Sprinkler Advisory Board (NJFSB), who come to Brick every year and teach the children who attend Brick Police Youth Camp about fire safety.
The campers watched through a large picture window at the mock room furnished with a filled trash can and curtains. They saw how quickly the fire spread and the overall effectiveness of fire sprinklers. “The sprinkler system doesn’t always fully extinguish the fire, but it saves lives because the system contains the fire and buys time for the occupants to safely exit or escape the structure,” said NJFSB state coordinator Frank Ellis, who divided the 51 campers into groups of four for the demonstration and fire safety talk.

Fire:
Continued From Page 32 “A smoke alarm alone does not provide enough protection in the event of a fire,” he added. According to the National Fire Protection Association, in 2016 (the most recent year available) there were 1,342,000 fires reported in the country which resulted in 3,390 deaths. Ellis said the NJFSB would like to see sprinkler systems installed in all homes, but in New Jersey it is only required in commercial structures. “Right now, Maryland and California are the only states that require sprinkler systems are installed in new construction,” he said. “We’re trying to get that changed in New Jersey.” The cost is about the same as a new granite countertop - about $2 per square foot in New Jersey, with a national average of $1.37 a square foot - or about $5,000, Ellis said. Brick Fire Bureau Marshall and volunteer firefighter at the Laurelton Fire Company Dave Bahrenburg said very few homes in the township have sprinkler systems.
“We love it when [NJFSBB] come here because it’s great for the public to understand how sprinklers can help with fire safety,” he said. “It would be nice to have them in every home.” Ellis conducts the burn house demonstration about 60 times a year, and has come to various fire stations in Brick and to National Night Out in Windward Beach Park. Nitalia Booker, 13, attends the Police Camp and was in the first group to see the burn trailer demonstration. “It was cool. I didn’t know that different sprinklers have different colors and that means they go off at different heats,” she said. She also learned that sprinklers are heat not smoke - activated, and they create steam after the water hits the fire. The mission of the NJFSAB is to save lives and protect property by educating the public about fire safety, demonstrating the benefits and effectiveness of fire sprinklers, and supporting fire-safe building codes and legislation.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of aug 11 - aug 17
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): You won’t need extra vitamins to forge ahead in the week to come. You might catch the eye of someone who shares fresh and stimulating ideas. Watch your bank account as there could be a mistake or error. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You believe the best of everyone but may believe in the impossible. An inclination to give chase to ephemeral dreams needs to be curbed in the week ahead. Be aware that some promises won’t be kept. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Someone’s optimistic. Glass-half-full view of the world leaves you begging to find an artesian well of never-ending bliss to call your own. You may be distracted by something of doubtful value as this week unfolds. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Those in close connection might be focused and determined to succeed while you prefer to taste for the finer things in life. A subtle shift of opinion occurs this week, which you can use to positively influence results. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may go to extremes to attain your dreams. Since your confidence is soaring in the week ahead you may spend your money freely. To keep the peace at any cost you might choose to be less competitive and lose out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might be more concerned with being attractive and liked than making an impression in the business world. Your loved one may be more romantic than usual and full of fun in the upcoming week.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Go for your goals. You may be stimulated by a desire for financial success so perform superlative work in the week ahead. You could put too much energy into pursuing extravagant and unnecessary expenditures. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Embrace inspiration. You can solidify your hopes and dreams because you are filled with creative imagination. Boy meets girl chemistry can create an unbreakable alloy or a supportive ally in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Write down your ideas so they will be on hand when needed in the future. People who have fought long and hard to achieve a position of prominence might offer you words of wisdom in the week ahead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Inspire rather than conspire. You will impress others in the week ahead if your financial plans and strategies are transparent and aboveboard. Airing your ideas can unlock a door previously closed to you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are flirtatious and friendly this week, so someone may think you are serious about having a relationship. Don’t follow through on a passing fancy unless you are willing to give it your undivided attention. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are in danger of being too easy-going so that you lose ground in a business matter or on the job. Being cooperative might get you in the door, but you must focus on upgrading your own future happiness, too.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Summer Pizza Party: Showcase The Heirloom Tomato Harvest On A Grilled Pizza By Wolfgang Puck
If you asked many food lovers to sum up August in two words, I would bet that right near the top of the list of responses you’d find “tomatoes” and “grilling.” We’re now at the peak of tomato season. Home gardens and farmers’ markets stalls are bringing us a special delight with their wide assortment of heirloom tomatoes - old-fashioned varieties prized for their wonderfully varied colors, patterns and flavors. But how do you combine tomatoes and grilling? Sure, you’ll find cherry tomatoes speared on kabobs, despite the fact that they usually soften too much on the grill, becoming difficult to eat. Similar results also happen for many cooks who try to slice and grill a tomato like they would an onion. I think, however, that I’ve found a perfect way to grill heirloom tomatoes: on top of a pizza! That suggestion may cause some eyebrows to rise, I’m sure. Grilled pizza? Is that even possible? Others who have enjoyed grilled pizza at enterprising restaurants know that the specialty makes perfect sense. After all, an outdoor grill isn’t all that different from a pizza oven fueled by wood, charcoal or gas. A grill’s fire bed throws off heat that’s intense enough to firm up a lightly oiled piece of rolled-out pizza dough in a matter of seconds, so there’s no danger of it drooping through the grid and into the fire. After you flip over that dough with long-handled grill tongs or a spatula, quickly spread some sauce, toppings and cheese on top, and cover the grill; it takes a few minutes more for the cheese to melt and the crust to finish cooking to deeply browned crispiness. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it? And it’s so easy to do! So why not top your grilled pizza with some slices of firm-but-juicy heirloom tomatoes, perfectly complemented by my light pesto sauce? I also share my recipe for homemade pizza dough, which takes only minutes to mix up in a food processor; then you wait a few hours for it to rise. Or, simply look for packages of ready-to-use pizza dough in the refrigerated case of a well-stocked market. You can heat up the grill to make the pizzas on their own; or, for a larger gathering, prepare and serve them as an appetizer to enjoy while your main dish is grilling. Either way, I hope my grilled pizza recipe will become a regular feature when you cook outdoors - especially now, when heirloom tomatoes are so abundant and delicious. GR I L L E D H E I R L O OM TOM ATO PIZZAS WITH PESTO Makes 4 pizzas, each 8 inches (20 cm) 1 batch Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough (recipe follows), or 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) good-quality store-bought dough, divided into 4 balls Light Pesto (recipe follows) 1/2 cup (125 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra as needed 2 cups (500 mL) freshly shredded mozzarella cheese 2 cups (500 mL) freshly shredded fontina cheese 16 slices medium-sized ripe heirloom tomatoes, each slice about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1/2 cup (125 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese Fresh basil leaves, cut crosswise into thin julienne strips, for garnish If using Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough, start preparing it at least 3 1/2 hours or up to two days ahead.
Before making the pizzas, preheat an outdoor grill for direct-heat cooking. (If the grill doesn’t have a lid, select a large domed pot lid or a baking pan for inverting over the pizzas.) Meanwhile, prepare the pesto (see following recipe). Stretch each dough ball, or roll it out on a lightly floured surface, to a diameter just over 8 inches (20 cm). Brush the dough on both sides with olive oil. Dampen a folded paper towel with more oil and, using long grill tongs, and lightly grease the cooking grid. Working with as many rounds of dough as fit comfortably on the grid and under the lid, drape the dough on the grid and cover. Grill until the underside is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover and use tongs to flip the dough over. Using a long-handled spoon or brush, quickly coat each pizza with pesto. Sprinkle with mozzarella and fontina, and distribute 4 tomato slices on top of each pizza. Immediately cover and cook until the cheese has melted and the underside is well browned, about 3 minutes longer. With a long spatula, remove each pizza to a cutting board, sprinkle each with Parmesan, and cut into wedges. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, garnish with basil, and serve. Repeat with any remaining dough and toppings. WOLFGANG’S PIZZA DOUGH Makes 4 balls, each about 6 ounces (185 g) 1 package active dry or fresh yeast 1 teaspoon honey 1 cup (250 mL) warm water, 105 F to 115 F (40 C to 46 C) 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup (60 mL) warm water. In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the oil, yeast mixture, and remaining water, and process until the mixture forms a ball. Turn out onto a clean work surface, and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer, until smooth and firm. Cover with a clean, damp towel, and let rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. (When ready, the dough will stretch when lightly pulled). Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Work each by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom. Repeat four or five times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll each under the palm of your hand until the smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to two days. LIGHT PESTO Makes about 1/2 cup (125 mL) 1/2 cup (125 mL) loosely packed fresh basil leaves 2 medium garlic cloves, peeled and trimmed 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest 1 tablespoon cold water Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Put the basil, garlic, oil, zest and water in a small food processor or blender. Process until smooth. Pulse in salt and pepper to taste.
