–Photo by Chris Lundy This patch of land, across from the municipal building, will be purchased. By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The township will finalize plans to purchase land for an eventual municipal complex expansion at its next council meeting. A second hearing and adoption for the purchase of land at 20 Colonial Drive (Block 30, Lot 20) will take place 6 p.m. Aug. 27 at town hall. The township plans to purchase the lot from Rockwoodpio, LLC, of Point Pleasant. It is a 1.24-
acre parcel, according to public records. It had been purchased back in 1988 by Rockwoodpio. “The property did receive planning board approvals in 1987 for a three-story, 18,000-foot professional office building that was obviously never built,” Manchester business administrator Donna Markulic said. Many community buildings are on one stretch (Needs - See Page 8)

Ocean County Acquires Open Space
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders approved the purchase price of three parcels to add to the county’s natural lands trust program at a recent meeting. Two of the properties are in Jackson Township. The other is in Berkeley. The first lot, 4.55 acres (Block 18904, Lot 4) on Toms River Road in Jackson, is $32,000, plus up to $665 for property tax adjustments. Freeholder Director Gerry Little, filling in for Freeholder John Bartlett, who was absent and usually handles discussions on open land purchases, said this par ticular lot is wooded and vacant. Located in the Pinelands, the lot is along the Ridgeway branch of the Toms
River, a category one water stream that requires preservation. This property is also considered a pr iorit y area for preservation for the Pinelands Commission and U.S. Depar tment of Defense, Little said. It’s in the fl ight path for Joint Base Maguire-Dix-Lakehurst. “They have encouraged us to do everything we can to preserve this area as a buffer to the base,” Little said. This parcel is eligible for 50 percent cost sharing through the federal government. The second lot in Jackson is located near Ogden Lane (Block 18905, L ot 1). T he county plans to purchase the 5.63-acre lot for $33,000, plus up to $150 for property tax adjustments. This is a heavily wooded (Space - See Page 16)
Police Explorers Honored For Their Service
By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Freeholders John Kelly and Gerry Little recently honored the members of Ocean County Chiefs of Police Law Enforcement Explorer Post No. 1. All the Freeholders were joined by Ocean County Sheriff Mike Mastronardy and Christine Farrell, an officer with the sheriff’s
department who has run the Explorer program for almost three years. The program, open to students ages 14-20 (applicants must have graduated eighth grade to join), gives students an opportunity to explore careers in law –Photos by Jennifer Peacock enforcement, in towns that don’t necessarily have their (Left) Ocean County Sheriff Mike Mastronardy.

The students are mentored by law enforcement officers, and not only complete community service projects, but compete in regional and national law enforcement competitions. “They learn everything that we learn,” Farrell said of the Post’s members. “Firearms, how to do motor vehicle stops, burglary in progress. We also do community service projects. We give back to our towns and our communities.” Explorer Post No. 1 walked away with numerous awards this past competition season: • First Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, drill team • First Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, burglary-in-progress response • First Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, motor vehicle stops • First Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, arrest, search and seizure response • Second Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, motor vehicle stops • Second Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, domestic violence response • Second Place, 2018 Stockton State Competition, female physical fitness

Continued From Page 1 of Colonial Drive, including Town Hall, the Manchester branch of the Ocean County Library, and the First Aid building. This would be located across the street. It is on the side of the jughandle opposite from TD Bank. “Both the police side and the municipal side of the municipal building are filled to capacity,” Markulic said. “We looked at going up with a third story but the building was not built to support the increased load. We have no more space on the grounds of the municipal complex to place additional
buildings or offices.” The township will purchase the lot for the assessed value of $135,000. Mayor Kenneth Palmer told The Manchester Times there are no immediate plans to develop that land. However, as the township continues to grow, the need to expand town hall will only grow with it. Since they can no longer build up, they have to build out, he said. It’s likely the Manchester Township Police Department will eventually call that address home, or at least house some of its operations there, although again, the mayor said there are no immediate plans for an expansion.

DOT Should Investigate Link Between Parkway Exit 91 Project And Local Flooding
Capitol Comments Senator Jim Holzapfel 10th Legislative District, Serving Toms River
TRENTON - Senator Jim Holzapfel, Assemblyman Dave Wolfe, and Assemblyman Greg McGuckin (all R-10 th ) called on the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) to investigate if massive flooding that occurred in the Greenbriar I senior community in Brick is
related to the recently completed interchange construction at Exit 91 of the Garden State Parkway. “The flooding that occurred yesterday along Burrsville Road and in Greenbriar is unlike anyt hing t he a re a ha s previously experienced, including during Sandy,”
Congressman
Chris Smith “This flooding requires all hands on deck to help victims recover, and I look forward to Gov. Murphy requesting federal disaster assistance so that these residents can receive the aid they need right now,” Smith said. According to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief Act, the governor of an affected state must formally ask the President to issue an emergency or major disaster declaration for a state to receive federal assistance. Currently, local, state, federal, and volunteer organizations are working hard to complete the Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) to determine loss and

recovery needs. Based on these findings, the governor will then submit a request for federal assistance to the president. “I am ready to work with our state officials and our entire Congressional delegation in support of the anticipated request and to ensure the federal government provides needed and appropriate assistance,” Smith said. In trips to flood damage sites in Wall and Howell, Smith met with local officials including Wall Township Mayor Tim Farrell, deputy Mayor Kevin Orender, Committeeman Carl Braun, township administrator Jeffrey Bertrand, and members of Wall Police; Monmouth County Director of Public Works and Engineering John Tobia, assistant Director of Public Works James Cerreta, Supervisor of Bridge Repair

uation of residents. “It’s a little suspicious that Greenbriar can go five decades without this kind of flooding, including during Superstorm Sandy, but it’s suddenly underwater a year after the adjacent Exit 91 project was completed,” said Wolfe. “We need to know if changes to the grading or drainage in the area led to this flooding, and we need a plan to prevent it from happening
again.” The 10th District legislators sent a letter to NJDOT Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti requesting that the Department examine whether the recently completed interchange at Exit 91 contributed to the flooding, and to develop an action plan to remedy any issues that are identified. “Residents who lived through years of disruptive
construction as Exit 91 was completed now live in fear that the next storm might flood them out of their homes again,” added McGuckin. “We need to determine if this was a freak event that’s unlikely to happen again, or if it’s a direct result of the engineering of the interchange. If there’s something we can fix, we need to find out, and we need to do it immediately.”
Federal Funds Needed For Flood Recovery
From The Desk Of
HOWELL - Rep. Chris Smith (R-4 th) surveyed extensive flood damage in Wall and Howell Townships, meeting with local officials, residents, and law enforcement, and was briefed on the extent of flood damage in Monmouth County after record rainfalls in the area. “The recent flooding has created a disaster for residents in Monmouth and Ocean counties, plain and simple,” Smith said. “I saw roads and bridges washed out - that may take weeks to repair - and met with homeowners who have suffered nightmarish damage to their properties.”
s a i d H o l z a p f e l . “ We ’ r e concerned that the recent reconfiguration of Exit 91 has impacted the area to make it susceptible to flooding. The NJDOT needs to investigate and undertake improvements if that’s the case.” More than 100 homes in and around the Greenbriar I senior community were flooded during a torrential d o w n p o u r o n M o n d a y, Aug. 13, forcing the evac-

David Yegelwel, and numerous public works employees who are working to repair bridge W18A and re-open Allenwood Road; as well as homeowner Zac Nickl. Smith also met with Howell Deputy Mayor Rob Nicastro, deputy Manager/Director of Community Development Jim Herman, Office of Emergency Management coordinator Victor Cook; Howell resident Bob Salomon and residents Anthony and Eileen Sosa, all of Pine Needle Street. Among the damage Smith
inspected was the damaged county bridge W18A on Allenwood Road in Wall, a damaged bridge on Ramtown-Greenville Rd. in Howell, and damaged residences on Pine Needle Street in Howell. Smith met with homeowners and their neighbors, and promised to work to ensure that local disaster victims who are without flood insurance coverage because their homes are not in flood zones are included in Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Individual Assistance Program.
Tobia informed Rep. Smith that the initial flooding cost to Monmouth County’s infrastructure was $665,000 and that 14 county bridges had been damaged. The total cost of infrastructure repair is expected to rise, he said. Gov. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency for flash flood damage in several New Jersey counties, including Monmouth and Ocean counties. The other counties included in the declaration were Bergen, Essex, and Passaic counties.

First Aid Squads, Friends For Life
This column is dedicated to those who volunteer, helping their communities in many ways. In particular it is dedicated to the former members of the Holiday City at Berkeley First Aid Squad, without whom there would be no free EMS. Thank you. Some of them pop into the squad to say “Hi.” We are pleased to see them. Most, we don’t get to see unless they come to a function. If you are a former member, or know one, please let the Squad know if you move, are sick, getting better or if you need a ride to one of the annual Squad functions. For a little over a year I have volunteered to call the retired members of the HCBEMS squad. I extend an invitation to them for our annual Memorial, which is the third Sunday in May. Also to the squad Christmas Party in December and picnic in July. They are always happy to hear from me and to know that their squad hasn’t forgot them. We haven’t forgotten them. They are the reason we have a volunteer EMS squad in the first place. Many of them are gone. Some live out of state with children or in nursing homes. Some of them still live in our community. Some can’t come to the functions because they are no longer able to get around by themselves. One retiree is 93 and “will try to get to the picnic if possible.” We were looking forward to see her. Some retirees have new phone numbers, which we didn’t have. They are important, so this year, I went to the addresses and found some of them. Guess what? Some of them made it to the picnic and they wouldn’t have known about it. We were so happy to see them. They were all glad to hear from us and they all said they enjoyed their time on the squad – the work and the people. Come work with us. You would too. Many of them have lost touch, and asked about old friends who worked with them. Sometimes I could give them information. Other times, I didn’t have any. Some
even came to the picnic. I hope they all had a good time. I enjoyed hearing the retired members talk about how it was when they were on the squad. I was sorry to have to tell them that is so hard to get volunteers to serve today, that we have had to cut back our hours. Some of them were on the squad when it served the community 24/7. Even when I joined the squad, almost 7 years ago, we still worked 7 days a week but only a 12-hour day shift. We did not have enough people for a day shift and a night shift. Next year it would be nice to tell them, we have more volunteers. Won’t you consider volunteering for a while? HCBEMS works from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. Your shift would only be 1 day a week. You get education, CPR certified, a uniform, and a lot of time on an ambulance, comradeship of other volunteers and the gratitude of your neighbors as well as the rest of the squad. You want some action - join HCBFAS at 100 Port Royal Drive. We are one of the busiest squads. We’d love to show around and tell you what you can do. We have interesting calls, real emergencies and even some funny calls. Come down and ask about working with us. You “want to see the world join the Navy.” We learn like kids, work like dogs, get stroked like cats, eat like the fire department and laugh like it’s on sale and we need you. All the volunteer squads need more volunteers. We cover an area that includes 1,765 homes. In a 5-day workweek, from January 1 until July 1, we have responded to over 1,000 9-1-1 calls. HC Berkeley has 3,236. HC Carefree has 1,612 homes. HC South has 2,359 homes. HC West has 1,812 homes. Silver Ridge Park East & West has 1,746. You would think we could get more than 38 volunteers. Stay Well! Volunteer if you can. Phyllis Brown Holiday City at Berkeley First Aid Squad
Church’s Child Abuse Is Business As Usual On Aug. 16, the Press published (again), another clergy sexual child abuse story. Should anyone be shocked or surprised? “Child abuse” is really a pathetic euphemism for what has been going on in the Roman Catholic Church for decades, and still is! We’re talking about the systematic rape and molesting of thousands of children by Catholic priests, and the churches’ complicity in covering up and protecting the child-rapists among us. Just this month alone, a Pennsylvania grand jury report asserted that church leaders protected hu ndreds of accused priests at the expense of more than 1,000 abuse victims. The Archdiocese of Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Spokane, San Diego, to name just a few, all have paid out millions of dollars to victims of its own church. What has been taking pla ce i n t he chu rch is not an aber ration or an anomaly, or the result of a few rogue priests as some church apologists contend. The truth is, it has been “open-season” on children in the Catholic church for centuries. As for pedophile priests and the Catholic Church that covers up and protect them, I humbly apologize for my inability to pay them both the proper disrespect they deserve! Borden Applegate Jackson
Trump Has Proven Why He Should Be Impeached Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution calls for i mpeach ment for t reason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors by the president, the vice
president and all civil officials of the United States. Observing the officials of this Executive Branch from top down sent me scurrying to my Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary looking up the word “treason.” The entry on “treason” is long so I’ll “trim and select” various elements, and occasionally insert an accusation or comment (in parentheses). “Treason” is the offense of acting to over th row one’s government (FBI, D OJ,C I A , NSA , H L S , EPA, HUD, DOE, etc). It’s a violation of allegiance to one’s sovereign (in this case the Constitution of the United States) or to one’s state (the USA). It’s the crime of giving aid or comfor t to the enemies (Putin’s Russia) of one’s government. My d ict ion a r y l i n k s “treason” and “sedition” in a nuanced manner. Both mean disloyalty or treachery toward one’s country or its government. “Sedition” is any act (disbelieving and demeani ng A mer ica n secu r it y experts), writing (tell-all tweets to friends and foes), speech (accepting the word of Vladimir Putin while rejecting all evidence, and condemning the American press) directed unlawfully against state authorit y, the government, or constitution, or calculated to bring it into contempt or to incite others to hostility, ill will or disaffection (every speech at ever y Tr ump rally). “Sedit ion” does not amount to treason and therefore is not a capital offense. Question 1: Do not both sedition and treason qualif y as high cr imes and misdemeanors? Question 2: How can an entire political party (Tr ump’s loyalists and/ or Stormtroopers) be impeached for the crimes of sedition and treason? Suggestions please! Nicholas Molinari Brick

“a way of giving back to our community by providing an opportunity to connect together and celebrate life with our neighbors. God has created people with the gift of joy and happiness so we should enable one another to do just that, together as God’s family. Scripture says to ‘rejoice in the Lord always’ and we intend doing just that with the community through this fun-filled evening.” In the recent past, Redeemer has supported missionaries in the Dominican Republic and is now extending outreach farther into our own community. After the Retirement of Debt celebration recently, Redeemer has begun seeking other ways of increasing stewardship to one another. Oktoberfest is but one avenue. Redeemer aspires to be a small part in giving back to our community as God has richly blessed us, by virtue of its’ operation of the Vacation Bible School (VBS); the Redeemer Lutheran Nursery School, which is a non-profit Christian school for which all the tuition is used for the program for the benefit of all enrolled children; a food pantry for those in need, and participation in Manchester Day. Redeemer offers spiritual growth through the worship experience, music and youth ministries, spiritual education for children, preschoolers through 6th grade in the Sunday School program, as well as adult bible studies three times per week. All visitors are welcome at Redeemer Lutheran Church of Manchester.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE The Atlantic City Seafood Festival ATLANTIC CITY – The people of the South Jersey area spoke and we listened! In 2018, The Atlantic City Seafood Festival is returning to its home on Bader Field where the acres of uninhabited, water front land will once again be transformed into a seafood lover’s dream! With the famous Atlantic City skyline as its backdrop, The Atlantic City Seafood Festival will feature over 40 different local and regional seafood restaurants and vendors who will be serving up their favorite seafaring dishes. With the majority of the restaurants attending being brick and mortar Atlantic City restaurants, The Atlantic City Seafood festival will continue to give attendees the opportunity to experience this seaside city as a culinary destination. It is also a great opportunity for foodies and food seekers to meet some of Atlantic City’s most unique chefs and restaurateurs all while eating their tasty creations. From clams to calamari, oysters to ahi, and even alligator too, The Atlantic City Seafood Festival has it all! The goal of the Festival producers is to give event attendees a reason to spend the day in Atlantic City by highlighting the fantastic dining options this coastal town has to offer. Whether it’s trying the vast selection of local restaurants, sipping Jersey made craft beers and wines, cooking with local chefs, shopping unique vendors, playing in the sand, feeding butterflies, you will find yourself immersed in The Atlantic City Seafood Festival and all that it has to offer. The Atlantic City Seafood Festival happens to fall every year during National Hunger Action Month, a nationwide Feeding America campaign that challenges the public to take action to help solve the issue of hunger in America! In honor of National Hunger Action Month, The Atlantic City Seafood Festival will once
again support the Community Food Bank of New Jersey by donating a portion of the proceeds to this important organization as well back by popular demand, is the 2018 Chowder Cook-Off! This cook-off will allow participants to sample chowder from some of the finest restaurants Atlantic City has to offer as they stroll the festival and decide what they are going to feast on! In 2017, through the Chowder CookOff, the Festival and restaurants, we were able to raise close to $16,000 which is the equivalent of $160,000 in food distributed throughout the Garden State! This year we plan on increasing that donation with the support of our participating restaurants and festival attendees, one cup of chowder at a time! Returning to the Seafood Festival is the 3rdAnnual Pet Costume Contest benefiting the Humane Society of Atlantic County and their loveable residents! Festival goers are encouraged to dress their pets in their Sunday’s Best and show-off their four-legged friends!

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Teen Hit By Car Has A Long Road Ahead To Recovery
By Jason Allentoff POINT PLEASANT BOROUGH – It’s been 12 days of intensive care and medical treatments for a 14-year-old girl who was hit by a speeding car in Point Pleasant while she was out riding a bicycle with her friends. Although Emma-Mae is making progress, she has a long road ahead for recovery. Stephanie Gnolfo, Emma-Mae’s mother, tells Jersey Shore Online that her daughter has been transferred to another hospital which specializes in brain traumas. She had been at Jersey Shore University Medical Center ever since the August 9th accident on Route 88 but was transferred to a new medical center over the weekend. Gnolfo said “Emma-Mae is having severe migraines due to the concussion as well as the bleed on the brain and fractured skull. But she is the strongest kid I know and one hell of a fighter.” A GoFundMe page started by Kristen Cutrona of Toms River has raised a total of $25,876 so far. The goal was originally set at $10,000 but due to the additional medical expenses for the extensive treatments, it is now set at $50,000. The Point Pleasant Chamber of Commerce has announced they will have a special fundraiser for Emma-Mae on August 25th during the Point Pleasant Give Back Day. Gnolfo adds “I am forever grateful for all of the well wishes and prayers. It means so much to us.” Emma and two friends were riding their bicycles at 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 9th when they attempted to cross Route 88 at Sunset Avenue. They looked all ways, and believing it was clear, the two friends started to cross. However, Emma was hit by what was described as a dark sedan. Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Al Della Fave said “the teen was thrown onto the windshield over the hood, where she was carried on the car for a time before being thrown off.” Della Fave adds “the vehicle’s driver callously continued driving after the impact, carrying the victim on the vehicle hood for a distance before she was thrown free of the vehicle.” 26-year-old Brittany Keifer was arrested later that night on charges of assault by auto and leaving the scene of an accident that caused serious bodily injury. Officers found her car, which suffered extensive front end damage, hidden under a tarp outside of her home. Due to changes in bail reform laws, Keifer was released NEED AN EMERGENCY HOME REPAIR? WE’RE HERE TO HELP AT NO CHARGE
–Photo courtesy Stephanie Gnolfo on a summons. This didn’t sit well with many on Facebook who voiced their displeasure with her release. According to sources Jersey Shore Online cannot disclose, Keifer has a lawyer working on her case and all attempts to reach out for a comment have turned up dry. Emma, an accomplished cheerleader, is supposed to start Point Pleasant Boro High School as a freshman this September. Her mother says “Emma’s ultimate goal is to get better and get out of the hospital. She hopes to start her journey of high school and hopes to be able to cheer again. For now, we need to concentrate on getting her better so we can try and make those things possible.” Emma’s mother, who is a single mom, said “that phone call is the worst call any parent can ever get. Today, for the first time, I was able to finally bring myself to look at the GoFundMe page. I am just so overwhelmed by the love and support we have had. Also, how the community has come together tremendously to help a little girl that they didn’t even know. It just fills my heart knowing how loved Emma is and it means so much to us. There are no words for me to even come close to expressing my gratitude.” Jennifer Peacock Contributed To This Report

Continued From Page 1 parcel, also located in the Pinelands, Little said. It too is along the Ridgway branch of the Toms River, a priority area for state and federal agencies as already mentioned, is in the flight path for JBMDL, and likely contains endangered species, although what specific species was not clear. This parcel is also eligible for 50 percent cost sharing through a federal program. The third parcel, this one located in Berkeley Township on Roberts Avenue (Block 1689.03, Lot 24), is a .07-acre lot. “As Freeholder Bartlett is so fond of saying, this is the best deal because it is a donation to our program,” Little said. This lot is part of what the county calls the Roberts Avenue preservation area in the South Seaside Park section of Berkeley, just north of Island Beach State Park.
The county acquired the Roberts Avenue tract back in 1999. This one lot was retained by the owner, probably to have built a house upon, but the owner now decided to donate the property. The Natural Lands Trust program is dedicated to protecting open space in Ocean County. The fund was approved by Ocean County voters in 1997, and established a 1.2-cent tax to fund land acquisitions. The program generates about $8 million per year. A nine-member advisory committee, established in 1998, nominates properties for the Freeholders to consider. Freeholder director Gerry Little has said that in a county that’s 408,000 acres, about 60 percent of it is permanently protected against development through Pinelands, state parks and 21,000 acres preserved through the natural lands and farmlands programs.

Defense Bill, Saving Joint Base, Signed Into Law
By Chris Lundy FORT DRUM, JEFFERSON, NY – President Donald Tr ump signed into law a $716 billion defense bill which removed the Base Realig n ment and Closure provisions for the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Local congressmen supported the bill for what it would mean for the Joint Base. According to press releases sent by Tom MacArthur (R-3rd) and Chris Smith (R-10 th) after they sent the budget to the president’s desk, the act leaves out Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), the federal process to realign and/or close military bases. It would also authorize $10.2 million for Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to replace the Hot Cargo Hydrant System, for aircraft that require hazardous cargo parking, according to Smith. The project is needed in preparation for the arrival of the KC-46A refueling tankers, which are expected to begin arriving in FY 2021. “These authorizations will provide an essential boost to the employees at JBMDL, continuing to upgrade the base and making it the premier refueling hub on the East Coast,” Smith had said. “I am also glad we were able to keep a new round of Base Realignment and Closure out of this legislation.” The president and vice president ad-
dressed the bill, known as the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019, at Fort Drum in New York. According to the White House, the NDAA does several things, including: • Adds 15,600 troops across the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps • Procures 77 F-35 fighter jets and funds the construction of 13 new battle force ships and accelerates funding for several future ships • Increases pay by 2.6 percent There were, however, several aspects that Trump challenged as “unconstitutional.” They are related to the powers and authority of the office of the president. For example, a White House press release said the act purports “to restrict the President’s authority to control the personnel and materiel (sic) the President believes to be necessary or advisable for the successful conduct of military missions. While I share the objectives of the Congress with respect to maintaining the strength and security of the United States, my Administration will implement these provisions consistent with the President’s authority as Commander in Chief.” A full list of challenges is available at whitehouse.gov/brief ings-statements/ statement-president-donald-j-trumph-r-5515

Resolve To Hear Better: 12 Things You Don’t Want To Miss
Keeping better-hearing resolutions is easier with lighthearted encouragement, so we’re offering some whimsy on your road to stronger connections. Sweet Nothings: You spouse whispering “Sleep well, Honey” before bed, just like they have for years. Compliments: Hearing just how delicious your home cooking is or how festive your house looks this season “I Do.”: You, your child, or your grandchild beginning a life together with that special someone. Firsts: A toddler saying their first words – or, better yet, that first time a child or grandchild says, “I love you.” Reading Aloud: A child thrilling to all your imagination, expressions, enthusiasm, and silly accents. Important Information: Signals such as
“You dropped this, “Your Plane is now boarding,” or “STOP!” Music: Children’s recitals, the nuances in your favorite Beethoven symphony, a beloved album on those amazing new speakers. Jokes: Inside jokes, punch lines, the giggles of your family members (caused, or course, by your very clever quip). White Noise: The subtle crunch of snow under your feet, the rain on your bedroom window, or the light pencil taps of your spouse deep in thought. Pet Sounds: Your cat purring, your dog panting her appreciation after a long walk, your horse clip-clopping to the barn at the sound of feed being poured. Kick-start a better-hearing journey – yours or a loved one’s – this year with a complimentary hearing consultation!
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!
Partnership for a Drug-Free NJ Seeks Volunteers For Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day Initiative
MILLBURN — The Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey is looking for volunteers throughout the state to help spread awareness of the dangers of prescription opioids and actions that can be taken to protect families and communities from addiction as part of the third annual Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day on Saturday, Oct. 6. In 2016 — the most recent year with complete data — more than 42,000 people in the United States and 2,000 people in New Jersey lost their lives from an opioid overdose. The final death total for 2017 is expected to be even higher, and New Jersey is on pace to have more than 3,000 drug overdose deaths in 2018. Through this statewide single-day initiative, volunteers will spread the message about the potential for dependency on prescribed pain medicine and its link to heroin use rates in our state. The effort will involve a two-pronged approach: informing prescribers and raising awareness among New Jersey residents and families. More than 5,000 volunteers participated in last year’s Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day, distributing crucial information on safe prescribing practices to healthcare providers, as well door hangers with information on the link between prescribed pain
medications and heroin abuse throughout communities. Each county will have volunteer coordinators who can help interested volunteers obtain materials and help them plan their outreach. Volunteers will be asked to devote the amount of time they can give, whether it’s a few hours delivering door hanger tags to homes in their community or 20 minutes during their lunch break distributing materials in their office. Anyone can volunteer: school clubs, scouts, religious groups, businesses. Coordinators for each county can provide more information on how to get involved. Residents interested in volunteering can sign up at drugfreenj.org/knockoutvolunteers. The website also includes a toolkit, which provides electronic methods for spreading the message of Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day. Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day is a project of the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey, in cooperation with the Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse; the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Addiction Services; and the Community Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Morris, with help from thousands of volunteers across the state.

Unique Ways To Reduce Dangerous Homocysteine
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Most of you understand that homocysteine is a toxin that, when elevated, increases your risk for heart attack and stroke. This is well-documented, but what is shocking is how dangerous a neurotoxin this compound is! It has been implicated as a contributing factor in neurological and psychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorder, aggression, schizophrenia, bipolar, psychosis, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. The other shocking surprise is that homocysteine can increase in your blood stream if you have mild kidney disease. Your first clue to this might be unexplained itching, or mild swelling in your feet after a shower or prolonged sitting. Excessive homocysteine can destroy your life and cause you to get diagnosed with multiple conditions that require expensive medications! If you’d like the extended article I’ve written, I’ll send it via email if you sign up for my free newsletter. Now, here are some ways to reduce homocysteine: Minimize Meat: Methionine is the primary building block for homocysteine, so one quick way to reduce the formation of homocysteine, is to cut back on red meat which is high in methionine. Just think of it as “meat-thionine” and reduce intake for a few weeks. B Complex Vitamins: These include B6, B12 and B9 (methyl folate). This is what’s needed to break down homocysteine. It works for some people, but it triggers other people causing them to over-methylate. It’s not my favorite approach because it’s very hard to find the perfect ratios of each B vitamin (which is
different for everyone). I prefer throwing a “wet blanket” on top of the fire so continue reading. Bifidobacterium: Intestinal flora that has healthy amounts of Bifidobacterium longum can help reduce homocysteine. It works because the probiotic goes on to produce folate in the gut, and folate is needed to break down the homocysteine. Prunes: In last year’s issue of Food and Chemical Toxicology, researchers noted that homocysteine responded to antioxidant compounds found in prune extract. Granted, this was not a human study, but still the prune extract was given by injection and it significantly decreased homocysteine levels. We can joke about it all day long, but you need to know that the prunes have a beneficial effect on homocysteine. Pomegranate Powder: Brand new research in Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy was published in June 2018 and showed how “punicalagin” from pomegranates can protect neuronal DNA in the brain of rodents with high homocysteine. Drinking pomegranate juice might help humans, it’s certainly not going to hurt. Even better, you can buy a concentrated pomegranate powder in a bag, and just mix some in water each day. Catalase: High homocysteine is associated with a reduction in catalase enzyme activity all over the body. So if your homocysteine is high, your peroxide is too. Catalase is the liver enzyme humans make and it’s required to break down peroxide and turn it into water and oxygen. There are supplements of Catalase available online.

By Chris Christopher Tymere Berry, the former Toms River High School South standout now starring for the Monmouth University football team, has earned a berth on the All-Big South Conference first team as a defensive back. Berry, a redshirt junior and a two-year starter at cornerback, was a second team all-conference selection last season after
Monmouth Gearing Up For Season leading the Big South in passes defended with 16 passes defended, including 14 breakups, for the Hawks. He ranked fifth in the NCAA in passes defended and posted 43 total tackles, including 33 solo stops. He played in 11 games, picked off two passes and made 4 1/2 tackles for 11 yards lost. He blocked one kick. Other local players on the Hawks’ roster
are Freehold resident Ryan Wetzel, a senior offensive lineman and a first team selection out of Colts Neck; graduate student Vinny Grasso, a wide receiver from Donovan Catholic, senior wide receiver Matt Castronuova (Jackson Memorial), sophomore running back Mike Gawlik (Jackson Memorial), freshman offensive lineman Scott Prendergast (Howell),
sophomore defensive back Brady Watson (Brick Memorial), sophomore offensive lineman Justin Szuba (Brick Memorial), junior defensive lineman Adam Kakar (Toms River North) and freshman wide receiver Eddie Morales (Howell). Berry, Wetzel, named an all-conference fi rst team offensive lineman, and others were honored at the annual Big South Conference Football Media Day at the Renaissance Suites Hotel in Charlotte, N.C. The honorees were chosen in a vote of the league’s head coaches and a media panel. “It means a lot to be recognized by my peers and the other coaches,” Berry said on the Hawks’ Facebook page at the event. Grasso was second on the Hawks in reception last year with 29 for 315 yards. He blazed 66 yards with a punt return for a touchdown. He rushed for 79 yards and one touchdown on three carries. He returned two kickoffs for 23 yards. He appeared in 12 games. Castronuova hauled in six passes for 34 yards in 2017 and returned five kickoffs for 98 yards. He returned one punt for four yards. He plated in 12 games. Kakar made six tackles, including three solos, in 10 games. The Hawks were selected to finish second in the 2018 Big South Preseason Poll, their highest predicted finish since joining the league in 2014. Monmouth, which finished second a season ago in the conference at 4-1, earned 82 total points and one first place vote. Defending Big South champion Kennesaw State received 17 of a possible 18 first place votes and garnered 107 points. The poll’s voters were the league’s head coaches and a media panel. The Hawks return 16 starters, including 10 on offense, from last year’s NCAA Playoff team, which was 9-3 overall. Kevin Callahan, who is in his 26th season as the lone head coach in program history, ranks 10th among active NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision coaches with 144 wins - all at the West Long Branch school. “Our mentality is that we have to be better than we were last season,” Berry said. “We want to get over that hump.” Berry hopes to fill the void created by the loss of standout defensive back Mike Basile (Brick Memorial) and others to graduation. Berry said taking on the team’s high-powered offense in practice will improve his play. “Going against our offensive players will make me better,” he said. “When it is game time, they will make me better. We have a lot of young guys taking a lot of reps (repetitions) in the defensive backfield. They are stepping up and trying to fill the void that we lost.” Berry said he enjoys playing for the Hawks. “From the improved facilities to the players to what we do to get ready for the season the only way to go is up,” he said. “Go Hawks.” Monmouth will open its regular season Saturday, Aug. 31, at Eastern Michigan University at 6:30 p.m. The game will air on ESPN+. The Hawks will host Hampton (Season - See Page 24)

Inside The Law Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Counsel Fees
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, III Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates
The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved one’s passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a dispute arises, it is important to understand how legal fees could impact the assets of the Estate. Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed and the Will is challenged, the Executor may use Estate assets to defend the challenge as long as the contesting party challenges the Will’s validity, interpretation, distribution, or a specific clause. The estate assets may be used to hire an attorney to defend the challenge of the Will. Legal fees incurred in defending the challenged Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution are not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, the legal fees are payable from the Estate. However, when an Executor has to defend claims against non-probate assets, then the circumstances change and certain limitations apply. Probate assets consist of any asset that is owned solely by the decedent and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets may include real property that is titled solely in the decedent’s name or held as a tenant in common; Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles; bank accounts that are solely in the decedent’s name; an interest in a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company; any life insurance policy or brokerage account that lists either the decedent or the estate as the beneficiary. A non-probate asset is as an asset
which does not “pass” through the decedent’s Estate, and bypasses the court process by transferring directly to the beneficiaries. Non-probate assets include property that is held in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety; bank or brokerage accounts held in joint tenancy or with payable on death (POD) or transfer on death (TOD) beneficiaries; property held in a trust; life insurance or brokerage accounts that list someone other than the decedent as the beneficiary; retirement accounts. If a party to a Will challenges the transfer of a non-probate asset, an Executor may be forbidden from utilizing Estate assets to defend against such a claim. When a transfer of non-probate assets benefits the Executor of the Estate to the exclusion of other beneficiaries, then the Executor will not be allowed to use the Estates assets to pay legal fees in defense of such a dispute. Should an Executor use the assets of the Estate to make such payments, then these assets may be payable back to the Estate by the Executor. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Season:
Continued From Page 22 University in their home opener Saturday, Sept. 8, at Kessler Stadium. Beverette signs: Former Lakewood standout Tyrice Beverette has signed a contract with the Cincinnati Bengals. The safety tried out for the team as an undrafted free agent in rookie minicamp. He also tried out for the New York Jets.
Beverette, a former Stony Brook University defensive back, is on the Bengals’ 90-man roster. The team cut a player to make room for Beverette, a 6-foot, 210-pound safety. He is one of eight defensive backs, including rookie second round draft pick Jessie Bates, in camp. Beverette, who hopes to be on the Bengals’ regular season roster, clocked a 4.26 in the short shuttle, which would have placed him fifth among all safeties invited to the NFL
Combine. Beverette was a three-year starter at Stony Brook where he earned third team All-Colonial Athletic Association honors last season as a senior. He was a second team All-CAA selection as a junior. Thor in NFL: Ira Thor, a Howell Township Board of Education member, has been named the New York Jets’ new crew chief and head statistician. “The Jets called me and asked if I would
consider taking a gameday role on their staff,” said Thor, who is in his first year of a three-year term. “Four years ago, my Sundays changed forever and I got to live a dream when I became the permanent internal public address announcer for the New York Giants. Now, I will work on gamedays for both teams. It’s cool to work for both teams.” Thor, a Fair Lawn graduate, is the Director of Athletic Communications and Marketing at New Jersey City University. “I have been truly blessed with great opportunities in my career,” he said, “and am extremely grateful for yet another one. My Sundays will be busy from August through December and hopefully into January, but I wouldn’t change a thing.” Thor played on the boys soccer and boys volleyball teams at Fair Lawn High School. He was on the Cutters’ volleyball team which won the first NJSIAA state title in 1995. He played club volleyball in college. “I just know the game (football) and have a broadcasting background,” Thor said. Thor coaches recreational soccer and basketball teams in Howell and coaches traveling soccer in Colts Neck. Off to college: Senior tight end-defensive end Sean Morris of the Barnegat Bengals has committed to Holy Cross of NCAA Division I-AA. Morris fielded three Division I-A and 14 Division I-AA offers before choosing the New England school. Papcun packs pop: Brick resident Pete Papcun finished the season in a two-way tie for second on the Hawks’ baseball team in home runs with eight. The former Christian Brothers Academy player wound up in a two-way tie for first on the club in doubles with 12 and had the slugging percentage (.503) on the club among the regulars. He was third on the club in runs batted in with 36 and hit one triple. He scored 20 runs. The ex-Colt batted .258 (40-for-155). He played in 44 games and started 41 as the Hawks were 30-25 overall, including 16-7 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Teammate Chris Hawryluk, a sophomore from Jackson Memorial, saw limited action in relief. Monmouth’s director of Baseball Operations was former Toms River South standout Jeff Barbalinardo, who starred for the Hawks. He has also served as a Monmouth assistant coach. Fall a winner: Former Toms River South player Justin Fall finished in a three-way tie for first place in wins (7-2) at Brookdale Community College. The freshman paced the Jersey Blues in innings pitched (64 1/3), strikeouts (72) and complete games (five). The owner of a 5.74 earned run average, Fall pitched in 12 games and started a team-high 11. Other local players on the Jersey Blues’ roster were freshman pitcher Mike Soldo (Brick Township), sophomore pitcher Alec Merritt (Brick Memorial), freshman infielder Ryan O’Sullivan (Lacey Township), freshman pitcher Jayden Tisseker (Brick Township), sophomore outfielder Marco Meleo (Freehold), freshman outfielder Andrew Serrino (Brick Township) (Season - See Page 26)

Don’t Get Scammed On Home Improvement, Call Consumer Affairs
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Was your home damaged by the recent flooding? Maybe you’re simply looking into some home improvement projects? If either is the case, Ocean County officials urge you to reach out to the Department of Consumer Affairs first, before signing any contracts with contractors. “Residents recently affected by the flooding from unprecedented amounts of rain that damaged homes should reach out to our Consumer Affairs Department before signing any contracts with home improvement contractors,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, Chairman of the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs. “While natural disasters like storms and hurricanes bring out the best in people they also attract the most unscrupulous con artists and frauds. Unfortunately we saw that following Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc on the Jersey Shore, but it also brought about numerous incidents of fraudulent home repair contractors. Officials are reminding residents to check with the Department of Consumer Affairs first, to make sure any work you have done is legitimate. “Ocean County Consumer Affairs is here to help with information and helpful tips to walk you through the process of hiring a legitimate
contractor,” Vicari said. “It is our job to keep our residents safe from fly-by-night unregistered home improvement contractors that may take your money and disappear, leaving unfinished work and unsafe homes.” Some steps to follow to protect yourself from these scams: • Call the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs to check that the contractor is registered with the state before hiring someone. • Check for complaints filed against a potential contractor. • Get a copy of the contractor’s liability insurance policy and make sure it is still valid. • Don’t sign anything unless you understand and agree to all of the terms and conditions, including the fine print. • Carefully review the list of materials that will be used. • Never pay the full price up-front. • Always pay with a check, never with cash. This is nothing new to the Department of Consumer Affairs. Complaints against home improvement contractors rank number one in this department annually, according to Vicari. “It may take a little extra time but it’s imperative to do your homework prior to signing a contract,” he said. The Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs is located at 1027 Hooper Ave., Building #2, 732-929-2105.

This organization will use the funds to expand services for residents living in affordable housing that require their services. “Our Aging Innovation Fund at CFSJ allows us to continue the work Cascade was originally set up to do,” said Don A mbrose, CEO of Cascade’s parent
company Del Mar Healthcare. “We are now in our third year, and we’re very excited that South Jersey has eagerly embraced the opportunity to innovate and lead in this field.” According to CFSJ Executive Director Andy Fraizer, senior residents of South Jersey are an asset to local places, making important contributions. “Our partnership with Cascade allows CFSJ to create a better public understanding of aging-related opportunities and challenges for seniors and South Jersey communities,” said Fraizer.

BUSINESS DIRECTORY ADVANCED FOOT & ANKLE SPECIALISTS, PC To drag one’s feet is to proceed slowly, reluctantly or without enthusiasm. To sweep someone off their feet is to overwhelm with charm. And to stand on one’s own feet is to be independent and self-supporting. These are just a few examples of the many sayings that refer to the feet. But some may ask, why feet? Simply put, because the feet are the foundation of the body and just like any other structure, the body without a strong foundation will begin to suffer possible serious problems, making proper foot care of the utmost importance. Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, conveniently located in the Whiting Stop & Shop Shopping Center at 40 0 Lacey Road, Suite 9B, offers patients the exceptional care they deserve in the latest state-of-the-art facility by highly experienced and caring professionals. Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists was originally founded by Dr. Scott Amoss in 2000 and was formerly located in Toms River. In 2005, seeing there was a great need for his ser vices in the area, Dr. Amoss relocated his practice to
Whiting. In February of 2014, with the need for more space to accommodate his expanding practice and to house newer, more technically advanced equipment, Advanced Foot & Ankle relocated to its present beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and spacious facility. The personable Dr. Amoss is a highly-educated professional who is a lifelong resident of the Jersey Shore. The happily married father of three studied and received an undergraduate degree in chemistry at Cook College at Rutgers University. He became a member of a National Chemistry Honor Society and worked for several years as a chemist before he decided to pursue a career in medicine. Dr. Amoss attended the New York College of Podiatric Medicine where he finished fourth in his class of over 100 graduates and subsequently graduated cum laude in 2000. He is also the recipient of many honors and accolades, including Deans List recognition during all four years while attending the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. After completing a twoyear surgical residency at
William B. Kessler Memorial Hospital in Hammonton, New Jersey, Dr. Amoss received extensive training in fields such as orthopedics, vascular, plastic and reconstructive surgery, emergency medicine, dermatology and radiology. Dr. Amoss was also on staff at the South Jersey Wound Care Center, the largest facility in South Jersey. His expertise and training has led him to be a Board Qualified Foot Surgeon by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. He is also a Diplomat American Board of Podiatric Medicine as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Dr. Amoss is currently on staff at Community Medical Center in Toms River and the Manchester Surgery Center, where he performs inpatient and outpatient surgery. He is also a member of the New Jersey Podiatric Medical Society and American Podiatric Medical Association. The impressive qualifications at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists are not limited to Dr. Amoss. Those on his staff are all Certified Podiatric Medical Assistants through the American Society of Podiatric Medical Assistants. Dr. Amoss and
his team of professionals treat all of the common foot ailments including hammertoes, bunions, athletes’ foot, ingrown nails and heel pain. “We treat all ages and everything from the knee down,” said Dr. Amoss, including P.A.D., or peripheral arterial disease, a common circulatory problem which narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow, causing symptoms such as leg pain when walking. This condition can also reduce blood flow to your heart and brain, as well as your legs. Treatment for Achilles tendon, ankle instability, ankle sprains and sports injuries of the ankle and foot are also addressed. The new facility also offers o n - site surger y, X-rays and biopsies, often finding sk in c anc e r that others may have missed. “With diabetes being on the rise, proper foot care for those with diabetes is a major concern,” continued Dr. Amoss. “With a diabetic foot, a small wound can be slow to heal, lead to
infection and sometimes severe consequences including amputation. However, at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, surgery is always a last resort.” Although prestigious qualifications are always important when choosing a physician, impressive qualifications in the compassion department are of equal importance. From the pleasant voice that answers your call to the smile that greets you as you walk through the door of Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, there is a genuine feeling of caring, concern and compassion. You are never just a number at Advanced Foot & Ankle. Dr. Amoss and his dedicated team all agree that the most important and best part of their job is making a positive impact
on people’s lives. In short, their mission is “Making people feel better,” said Podiatric Assistant Kristen Valentino. All of your foot care needs are taken care of at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, which also offers a large and stylish selection and expert fitting of orthopedic and diabetic shoes and sandals. They even carry specially formulated nail polish for those suffering from fungal infections. Extras and details such as these are what makes Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists stand out from the rest. Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists PC is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call 732-350-0100 or visit them online at AdvFootandAnkle.com.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Back-To-School Blondies Put A Sweet Spin On The End Of Summer Vacation By Wolfgang Puck
As the father of four sons - two grown and graduated from university, two more still in school - I know that right around now children may be deep in the doldrums. Depending on where in the country you live, summer vacation is drawing to a close or school has already started. Either way, desperate measures are necessary to help those children who are still at home feel active, interested and happy, or to help cheer up those who have already returned to the classroom. Baking sweet treats has always done the trick for me, going back all the way to those days when I was an unhappy schoolboy in Austria dreading the end of my own summer break. That is why I’d like to share a recipe for a delicious baked confection everyone will enjoy: blondies with walnuts and chocolate chips. I first encountered these popular American bar cookies - along with brownies, their even better-known chocolate-flavored cousins - after I came to America back in 1973, and I fell in love with them immediately. Like rich, dense, slightly chewy little pieces of cake you can pick up and eat from your hand, they have always seemed to me even more fun, indulgent and satisfying than cookies - and I love cookies! Not only that, but blondies are easy to make. In fact, they’re even easier than most brownie recipes, since there’s no need to melt chocolate fi rst. Mixed with a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer, the batter comes together in just minutes. After 45 minutes or so of baking, and maybe another half hour to an hour of cooling before you cut them into squares, you have a treat that will bring joy to children and parents alike. Under parental supervision, kids can join in the fun of preparing the blondies. If you like, let them come up with different variations from the walnuts and chocolate chips in the following recipe. I’ve seen blondies that contain other kinds of nuts, white chocolate or butterscotch chips, chopped pieces of toffee or other candy, raisins or chopped dried fruit of other kinds, miniature marshmallows, and even broken pieces of salted pretzel. The fun doesn’t have to end there, either. One of my favorite ways to enjoy blondies is to make them the base for sundaes. Place a square in a shallow serving bowl, and top it with a scoop of whatever ice cream you like. Then a drizzle of your favorite sweet sauce, a dollop of whipped cream and some sprinkles top it off. Set up a blondie sundae bar, and the children may - at least for a moment - be so distracted they’ll forget that summer’s almost over or school’s already back in session. BLON DIES W ITH WA LNUTS A N D CHOCOLATE CHIPS Makes 9 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) all-purpose flour, plus
extra for dusting 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 6 ounces (185 g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature 1 cup (250 mL) packed light brown sugar 2 large eggs 1/2 cup (125 mL) sour cream 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2/3 cup (165 mL) coarsely chopped walnuts 2/3 cup (165 mL) semisweet chocolate chips Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting, optional Position the oven rack in the center and preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Evenly coat the inside of an 8-inch (20-cm) square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; then, with a spoon, sprinkle some flour over the bottom and sides of the pan to coat it evenly, tapping out the excess. Set the pan aside. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Put the butter and brown sugar in the large bowl of an electric stand mixer, or in a large mixing bowl if using a hand-held electric mixer. Beat at low speed until the sugar is incorporated; then, raise the speed to high and continue beating until fluffy, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beaters with a rubber spatula. Reduce the speed to medium and, one at a time, add the eggs. Beat in the sour cream and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture, beating just until incorporated. Add the walnuts and chocolate chips, beating at low speed just until mixed in evenly. With the spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared pan and level its surface. Bake in the preheated oven until the top feels fi rm to a quick touch and a long wooden toothpick or cake tester gently inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool. Line another rack with aluminum foil. When the blondies are completely cool, run a sharp knife around the inside edges of the pan. Invert the foil-lined rack over the pan and then, holding the pan and rack together, quickly but carefully invert and lift off the pan to unmold the blondies. To leave the blondies right-side up, place a large, flat platter or plate over the blondies and flip the foiled rack. Then remove the foil. With the knife, carefully trim away the hard outside edges of the blondies; then, cut into nine equal square pieces, each about 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm). If not serving immediately, store in an airtight container at a cool room temperature. If you like, decorate the blondies with a light dusting of confectioners’ sugar before serving. Hold a small wire-meshed sieve over them, spoon a little confectioners’ sugar into the sieve and tap the side of the sieve while moving it over the blondies.
