Pre-Emptive Marijuana Bans Have A Cost By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Municipalities across the state have preemptively banned the sale of recreational marijuana within their borders before state officials have even agreed on the terms of legalization. But in Manchester, the topic hasn’t been addressed. Resident Hank Glenn recently approached the Manchester Township Council and asked why. “I want to preface with, where the state legislation is now, we cannot pass an ordinance. The state has said that any ordinances passed - this was before the last vote that ended up not happening - we did talk about it. I’ve drafted an ordinance,” municipal attorney Angela Koutsouris Zografos said. “If we had passed the ordinance, it would have been invalid.” The pending law, sponsored by Nicholas Scutari (D-22) in the state senate, has gone through numerous changes since it was introduced in 2017. As written at press time, S830 would allow local governments to prohibit “the operation of marijuana cultivation facilities, marijuana product manufacturing facilities, marijuana testing facilities, or marijuana retailers through the enactment of an ordinance.” (Cost - See Page 4)
La Bove Grande Opening Next Chapter
By Jennifer Peacock L A K E H U R ST – There’s been no official, public word on what the fate of the La Bove Grande property is. But there is finally an answer to who bought it, sort of. A member of the Lakehurst New Jersey Facebook group posted a
deed recorded March 14 from the Ocean County Clerk’s Office showing the property was sold to two limited liability companies, 800 Route 70 LLC and RT 70 Holdings LLC, both listed at P.O. Box 869 in Lakewood. They hold two-thirds interest and one-third interest in the
property, respectively. The paperwork on behalf of the buyer is Daniel Czermak, a “nonmember manager of the grantee.” He was a member of the Lakewood Development Corporation and is the chairman and founder of Beacon Health and Social Services in
Oceanport, which provides all-inclusive care for elderly patients on Medicare and Medicaid. The Manchester Times has been in contact with the borough clerk’s office since news of the banquet hall’s closing started circulating last summer. At press time, (Chapter - See Page 4)

the clerk’s office has received no applications pertaining to the former La Bove Grande property at Union Avenue and Route 70. An ordinance had been floated around but ultimately tabled that would have allowed for assisted living residences, continuing care communities, residential medical detoxification centers, and behavioral health care facilities on lots at least two acres in size. The zoning would be amended “west of Center Street and front of Route 70.” The facility could only house up to 50

Continued From Page 1 Local governments that fail to enact such an ordinance within one year of the passage of legal recreational marijuana by default permit “the operation of a marijuana retail establishment within the local governmental entity for a period of five years, at the end of which five year period, and every five year period thereafter, the local governmental entity shall again be permitted to prohibit the operation of a marijuana establishment.” An identical companion bill was introduced in the State Assembly by Jamel C. Holley (D-20), Angela V. McKnight (D-31) and Britnee N. Timberlake (D-34). “They wrote it in that if you made an The General’s
into the 21st Century. La Bove Grande operated for more than 30 years in Lakehurst. It was started by brothers Jerry and Luigi Bove. As chatter increased in the borough that the brothers were shuttering their banquet hall, Jerry Bove for months refused to comment. The family finally offered a statement March 14, the date of the building’s real estate closing. “We have officially closed our doors and we couldn’t have made it such a success without all of your loyalty and memories that we have created with you. As this bittersweet moment has come to an end we will never forget the fun times, all of the families that
became our friends, the weddings we have celebrated, holidays spent with you, New Years we rang in, and children we have seen grow up. This may be the end of La Bove Grande but the memories will last a lifetime as we close the doors to the laughter, tears and relationships these walls will hold and instill in our hearts forever. Not only did we have the best clients but we have held an incredibly hard working and dedicated staff who we have greatly appreciated every day! May you all continue to share your memories for years to come that we have helped to create, and we humbly THANK YOU. God Bless, and for the last time …Thank you for joining us at La Bove Grande.”
ordinance against this, it would be null and void,” Councilman Craig Wallis said. “This was part of the governor’s plan to get everybody on board again, I guess. But, they’re going to have to reintroduce all their ordinances, all the towns that have passed it, after the state votes it in, approves it or not. Anything they’ve done at this point is a waste of time.” It costs municipalities money to advertise ordinances, as is legally required. So it’s not only been a waste of time, but taxpayer money, for local governments to have adopted anything regarding recreational marijuana before the state even enacted anything, Wallis added. The 65-page bill as written now would legalize marijuana in small amounts for recreational use for anyone 21 years old
and older. It’s sets up parameters for consumption, licensing and taxing, as well as an application process through Superior Court for expungement of possession of marijuana charges. It would become law 360 days after it’s enacted. That’s its language for now, anyway, and that’s subject to change. “My concern is, when the [state] law is passed, we don’t have anything in place that prohibits it,” Glenn said. “I don’t want it to
fall through the cracks.” “We won’t allow it to fall through the cracks,” Council Vice President Samuel Fusaro said. It’s premature to have any discussion about recreational marijuana since the state hasn’t finalized anything, Mayor Kenneth Palmer reiterated in a May 10 email to The Manchester Times. “It’s not legal and does not look like it will be anytime soon,” he said.

Educators:
Continued From Page 1 ‘Go To Expert’ on a number of topics,” said Principal Nikki Mazur. “If you need a suggestion about how to best support a student, or use data to drive instruction, or arrange your room in a way that will best support multiple learning styles, you go to Mrs. Schaefer. She is one of the few people I know who can be a creative and completely out-of-the box thinker, while still being detail-oriented, logical, and accurate. She is an innovator and a problem solver and is truly an insightful and intelligent educator. “In the classroom, Mrs. Schaefer works hand in hand with her co-teachers to create one creative and authentic lesson after the other. In her role as ABS, Mrs. Schaefer has proven time and time again that she is an active listener, an advocate for kids, and someone they trust. If you’ve seen any student interact with Mrs. Schaefer, it is so evident that the rapport she has with them is nothing short of magical. “I know that Mrs. Schaefer recently heard a quote that stated: ‘Engineers make bridges. Artists make paintings. Scientists make rockets. But teachers make them all.’ This resonated with her because it brought to light the importance of the job of an elementary school teacher and the profound impact of teachers each and every day,” Mazur remarked. “On behalf of our students, families, and staff, thank you Mrs. Schaefer for making that profound impact.” “I always knew I wanted to work with kids so when deciding on a career teacher was the natural choice for me, and it is why being recognized this year is extra special to me,” Mrs. Schaefer remarked. “This job is rewarding in many ways but on occasion it can get stressful. We all lean on our colleagues and I’m lucky enough to have had many of them become great friends and I appreciate every single one of you.” Ridgeway Elementary School ESP of the Year Ellen Kurilla has been employed by Ridgeway for nine years, and in that time, she has worked as a paraprofessional in kindergarten, first grade, the self-contained classrooms, and in preschool. She is currently in the K-2 self-contained classroom. “On a daily basis, Mrs. Kurilla will be seen working one to one with an autistic student, as well as students who have behavior challenges, communication difficulties, learning disabilities, and developmental disabilities,” said Principal Nikki Mazur. “She is professional and compassionate, always putting the students first and supporting their academic needs as well as their social emotional needs. “Mrs. Kurilla is self-motivated and spends time researching ideas that benefit students. She is truly a role model for other paraprofessionals and often will work closely with behaviorists, teachers and administrators to develop and implement strategies that make a huge difference in the success of our students. “One of our Ridgeway teachers said it best when describing Mrs. Kurilla’s professionalism in the classroom. She said, ‘Ellen can be counted on to make sure the students stay on their routine and she takes the lead in
The Manchester Times, May 18, 2019, Page 5 many situations because she simply knows what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.’ She is a model of kindness, growth mindset, and truly an advocate for students.” “Working with such professionals has inspired me,” said Mrs. Kurilla. “There is no greater joy than to witness a child persevere to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.” Manchester Township Middle School Teacher of the Year Amanda Moore is a graduate of Rowan University and has taught at the Middle School for 17 years. She teaches 8th grade math, coordinates the 8th grade graduation ceremony, and participates in Kevin’s Kids. “Mrs. Moore has built a career around helping students and being a leader amongst her colleagues,” said Principal Nancy Driber. “As a teacher of 17 years, she established herself as an accomplished teacher who has earned the respect of parents and colleagues. Her teaching style reflects her own life. She demands a lot from her students, while promoting a caring environment where all students thrive. Mrs. Moore is a driving force behind promoting a positive culture in the eighth grade. She embraces Spirit week, PI Day, Pep Rallies and various school activities; these activities motivate her students to succeed. She has established herself as an outstanding teacher. She has approached this role the way she has always approached every aspect of her life, with an exemplary work ethic and a positive attitude. “It is not surprising that Mrs. Moore has found success teaching math. She not only brings a demand for a high level of performance from her students, but she has expanded their experiences while preparing them for the rigors of high school.” “Being recognized by my colleagues comes with great pride and gratitude and I am honored to represent such a dedicated staff,” Mrs. Moore remarked. “I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by some of the greatest teachers during my 17 years at the middle school...I would like to recognize the entire middle school math department which has some of the most talented, hard working, and dedicated staff members in our building...Our department is truly second to none and I am proud and grateful to be a part of our Math Family.” Manchester Township Middle School ESP of the Year Mrs. Sandy Maloney is a paraprofessional at Manchester Middle School. “Sandy Maloney is a leader in our school, in the district and in the community,” said Vice Principal Steven Ninivaggi. “Sandy comes in each day with a positive spirit and a caring heart. She is a skillful and experienced professional who can quickly evaluate a situation and provide exactly the right degree of help needed to lead a child to the right answer. She is enthusiastic in her efforts during Spirit Week, at Pep Rallies and in decorating for the Eighth Grade Dinner Dance. She loves to see our students dressed up, celebrating the culmination of their Middle School experience. “Community involvement is important to Sandy. She has been an active member of Relay for Life since it started and is energetic in coming up with ways to raise
money. One year she even purchased Disney Wristbands with her own money to sell as a fundraiser. She is member of the Manchester Booster Club. For years, she worked the concession stand, even after her daughter graduated. She is an active supporter of the Municipal Alliance and especially looks forward to participating in the MTEF’s annual golf outing and dinner. Suffice it to say she is very generous in her support of any organization seeking to improve the Manchester community and its schools. “On behalf of her Manchester Middle School family, I want to thank her for all she does for our students and our community.” Mrs. Maloney said it is truly a joy and honor to be recognized by her colleagues and to work with such wonderful people. Whiting Elementary School Teacher of the Year Mrs. Cori Ruiz is a 2005 graduate of Manchester High School. Cori has been at Whiting for the last five years, first as a kindergarten long term substitute and now as a kindergarten teacher. “During her tenure, she has proven to be an excellent teacher and a wonderful asset to the school,” said MTES Vice Principal Jill Moore, who was filling in for Whiting Principal Evelyn Swift. “Mrs. Ruiz is a reflective professional who is constantly refining her practices to best meet the needs of her students. She continues to show her dedication to education through professional development and being an active participant in district wide committees. “Even though times are hectic and personal
lives can take over, Mrs. Ruiz continues to inspire and stay on top of her teaching. In my short time at Whiting School, I have already noticed Mrs. Ruiz always wants to learn and become a better teacher. She is willing to sit down with her colleagues, building principal, and her supervisor in order to make sure she is meeting the needs of the students in her class. One thing extremely special about Mrs. Ruiz, it is the way she fights for the best education for her students and involves the children’s parents from the very beginning of this process. With each year under her belt, she feels more confident, more reflective, and more innovative. “Mrs. Ruiz has found her calling as a kindergarten teacher and is a respected staff member. She is in constant pursuit of opportunities to improve her craft and enrich learning for her students.” Mrs. Ruiz spoke about her time as a student in Manchester, thanking the teachers who influenced her. She said that after struggling for several years as a young mother, going to college and working night jobs, she was thrilled when she was hired at Whiting School. “I finally felt like all I had ever dreamed of was happening! The struggles were finally taking me somewhere, the very somewhere I dreamed of as a little girl. I wanted to be like all of those memorable teachers that taught me - to make a difference in my student’s lives as they did mine.” Whiting Elementary School ESP of the Year Mrs. Susan Acquisto has worked with (Educators - See Page 8)

Continued From Page 5 special needs children for 27 years. She came to Whiting School in 1989. “Humble: having or showing a modest of one’s own importance. Each person I have spoken to states Mrs. Susan Acquisto is the exact definition of humble,” said Vice Principal Jill Moore. “Throughout her twenty-seven years of experience working with special needs children she has gone above and beyond but unless you really know her or pay close attention, you would never know. “Sue has consistently been an asset to the classroom. She has helped to introduce our youngest special education students to school. Her assistance with academics as well as life skills has allowed our students to succeed. Whether it be lifting a student to help them go up and down a slide or pushing them tirelessly on a swing, her goal has always been to make each child, no matter their disability, feel just like everyone else.” Moore said that Mrs. Acquisto is dedicated to her students and to the staff at Whiting. “She takes the time to continue her education through attending various workshops, which allow her to implement strategies and skills into her current position working with the self-contained class. “Watching Sue with the students is really amazing. Her peaceful words and ways are mirrored by students. This results in calm and respectful interactions...Mrs. Susan Acquisto is kind, caring, and compassionate towards everyone.” Mrs. Acquisto thanked all of her colleagues who helped and inspired her throughout her nearly 30 years at Whiting School. Manchester Township Elementar y School Teacher of the Year Jessica DeRiggi currently teaches third grade at MTES. She has taught first, second and third grades since coming to MTES in 2009. She is the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) school leader, a member of the District Math Committee, a member of the Science and Assessment Committees at MTES, and Co-Leader of the MTES Spirit committee. She also teaches the Title One Discovery Program. “This highly qualified educator is a valued member of our third grade team at MTES and one of the most positive, happy and compassionate individuals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting,” said Principal Linda Waldron. “As an exceptionally skilled and dedicated educator, Jessica plans lessons with her colleagues to meet the needs of all her learners and digs deep into her bag of tricks to inspire students of all backgrounds and abilities. Jessica works hard to find ways to help struggling learners succeed, creates social and emotional supports for all students and knows how to engage and challenge her more advanced learners to think outside the box. She believes that all students can learn and perseveres in making sure they do. Student growth is seen in her classroom year after year. “Mrs. DeRiggi demonstrates leadership and innovation in and outside the classroom, as an active member of our school and community. She is constantly providing
resources, advice, suggestions or expertise to teachers and staff due to her many involvements.” Mrs. Waldron said that Mrs. DeRiggi is a lifelong learner, earning a graduate degree in English as a Second Language. “She believes strongly in closing the achievement gap between ELL and non-ELL students and staff often seek her advice and guidance in this area.” “We are honored to have such a positive, professional, dedicated, innovative teacher to represent us at MTES.” Mrs. DeRiggi remarked, “Becoming a teacher was always a dream of mine and 10 years later, I still feel grateful to come to ‘work’ everyday, feeling like I am never working, just doing what I am meant to do...I feel as though I can’t thank specific colleagues because you all have played such an important role in my 10 years of teaching. I thank each and every one of you for your support, guidance, and setting the bar high. I share this honor with you!” Manchester Township Elementar y School ESP of the Year Cynthia Goldsberry started in the district in the HS Cafeteria in 2005, but then came to MTES in September 2007 as a paraprofessional. “For the last 7 years she has been the classroom paraprofessional in a self contained special education classroom with Liz Hahn as her mentor, friend and teacher,” said Principal Linda Waldron. “She wears many hats in this role and over the years she has touched many lives with her warmth, her compassion and her sense of humor. She is positive and willing to give you the shirt off her back, literally and figuratively. She will do anything for her students or our staff. Her students look to her for support and guidance with loving eyes. She has made connections over the years that have helped our students through some difficult times. “She is a role model for our newer instructional aides and shares her knowledge with our staff turn keying information to help everyone learn something new. Cindy is a firm believer in positive reinforcement and building a child’s self esteem...Knowing when to back off and when to step in is a trait of a good paraprofessional, which she possesses. She is truly a team player. What stands out in my mind is that you will NEVER hear a negative thing coming from Ms. Goldberry’s mouth. She is always thinking of ways to nurture her students in a calm and non judgemental way. Her care and concern is unconditional and she is one of the most patient people I have ever met. “She can make a student who faces challenges in life realize that they can accomplish anything because she embraces each situation in life with a special power and Can Do attitude.” Mrs. Goldsberry said that, having started in the cafeteria, she has great appreciation for the contributions of all of the district staff. “It’s like we are all individual puzzle pieces, coming together to form one giant puzzle of the Manchester Township School District...We are a team. How could the puzzle pieces fit together if we weren’t, right? I thank you for recognizing me as a piece of this amazing puzzle.” (Educators - See Page 28)

May Is Older Americans Month; Let’s Celebrate Our Seniors
Freeholder Forum by Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari Ocean County is home to 173,000 older Americans who enrich our communities through their diverse life experiences. So many seniors living in the county have brought with them expertise and skills that they are happy to share with the rest of us. While seniors provide so much to the quality of life here, we are committed to
strengthening our community by connecting with and supporting older adults, their families, and caregivers and acknowledging their many valuable contributions to society. Ocean County recognizes the importance of bringing together all generations and engaging in activities that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being
for the benefit of all. Ocean County enhances the lives of older Americans and all of their caregivers, from family members to community assistance and agencies by: • Promoting home and community based services that support independent living • Involving older adults in community events and other activities • Providing opportunities for older adults to work, volunteer, learn, lead, and mentor A robust county library system, a county park system second to none, Ocean County College, Ocean
County Vocational-Technical Schools, are just a few of the county programs seniors can access for leisure and recreational activities or to hone their skills in specific areas. On May 14, I joined with many of our senior providers to mark the grand opening of a new senior nutrition site and our home delivered meals production kitchen all conveniently located at the Southern Ocean County Service Center in Manahawkin. Ocean County provides more than 1,100 home-delivered meals a day to seniors, allowing them to maintain their independence and dignity. This program also
serves as a lifeline for the homebound. With each meal delivered comes a wellness check, someone to talk to, someone who can determine if all is ok in the absence of a family member or full-time caregiver. We are an aging nation. According to the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging, every day, 10,000 baby boomers turn age 65, or nearly 10 million over the next three years. By 2030, 73 million - or one in five - people in America will be age 65 or older. By 2035, all communities must be prepared to address these realities when, for the first time in our nation’s history,
the population of adults age 60 and older will outnumber people younger than 20. Ocean County through its Office of Senior Services and other affiliated agencies makes every effort to provide the best services and programs for our seniors. Whether you are someone new to retirement or someone that is approaching 100, while your needs differ, we recognize the importance of being able to access assistance when needed. The steps we take today will serve as the foundation for how our seniors are treated in the years to come and the quality of life they will enjoy in their golden years.
Law Would Require Methadone Testing For Commercial Drivers From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) introduced legislation to require drug testing for methadone for commercial drivers. “Despite clear evidence and existing law - showing that those using the painkiller methadone should not drive or operate heavy machinery, the DOT does not require testing commercial licensed drivers for the drug,” Smith said. “This omission can allow for these vital tests to miss what is a serious impairment for drivers and a threat on our roadways.” “My legislation would require this testing for meth-
adone, to more effectively prevent threats of deadly car and truck crashes in the name of public safety.” Smith’s bill is supported by the group Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). “MADD commends Rep. Chris Smith for his leadership on the issue of drugged driving and truck safety,” said MADD National President Helen Witty. “We know that dr ugs are an emerging issue and this legislation seeks to protect our roadways from this danger.” Heidi Bennett, a constituent of Smith’s for whom the bill is named, was a victim killed in a car accident on March 31, 2014 in Freehold
when a commercial truck driver - operating the truck while on Xanax and methadone - slammed into the back of her car. “My family and I would like to thank Congressman Chris Smith and his staff for submitting this bill,” said Paul Bennett, husband of Heidi Bennett. “This bill is being introduced as ‘Heidi’s Law.’ My late wife, mother to my two daughters, sister, aunt, friend and nurse to so many people was a special person. She is remembered as a person who always cared and helped everyone. She was killed by someone who was only thinking of himself. This bill would allow her to help and protect so many others - again and always.” The use of methadone is banned by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration of the Department of Transportation for any holders of commercial

driver’s licenses, because of its side effects. The HHS, however, does not list methadone on its five-panel drug test as part of its Mandatory Guidelines on drug testing, which is used by the DOT. The HHS five-panel test currently lists marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines,
opiates, and Phencyclidine/ PCP, and Smith’s bill would require that methadone be added to the “opiate” category. Once methadone is added to the list, the DOT and transportation companies would have to test for it. “Heidi’s tragic death could have been prevented had a

drug test for methadone been in place to keep the truck driver off the road,” Smith said. “We have to close this loophole make sure our tests are in line with our laws laws that are designed to save lives, and protect families from tragedies like that of Heidi Bennett.”

Bring Your Child To Work Day
–Manchester Twp. Police MANCHESTER – On May 2, Manchester Township held Bring Your Child to Work Day, a memorable event for our staff, parents and their kids. The township saw another great turnout this year, as little helpers were able to shadow their parents, learn about their jobs, and tour the Municipal Building, Police
Headquarters, and Municipal Court. While on the tour, the children saw a SWAT and K-9 demonstration, learned about fire trucks and DPW equipment, ran a relay race, and played a game of trivia in the Courtroom. And of course, no day of hard work is complete without pizza and ice cream.

Girl Scout Aims To Increase ‘Hawks Pride’
MANCHESTER – “We need more pride in our school,” said Rory Dunckley, a junior at Manchester Township High School, to the Manchester Board of Education. Rory appeared at the April 17, 2019 meeting to explain her Girl Scout Gold Award project, dubbed ‘Hawks Pride’, which aims to increase school pride with some major updates to the MTHS football stadium area and the renaming of Colonial Drive to Hawks Way. Rory plans to install a paver patio/walkway at the main gate to the football field with ‘Hawks’ spelled out in the pavers. This is where the football players enter the field for games. She also plans to install a Hawk mascot statue and create a new patio around the snack stand with landscaping and space for
vending tables for clubs to use during games. She has been fundraising for the project, which she estimates will cost $9,000, and said she has already raised $4,000. She is now selling sponsor signs for local businesses that will be placed around the field. Rory said she must complete the project before she graduates in 2020, but told the board that she anticipates getting the majority of it done this summer, in time for the start of school in September. For the street name change, she said she is well into the process of getting the necessary township approvals. Rory has been coordinating with Athletic Director Keith Lister, who said, “We are excited about the project and looking forward to the end result. We are also looking at whatever we can do to help.”

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER — Have you received a call from someone claiming to be from the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department recently? The Ocean County Sheriff’s Department is warning residents against scam callers on the rise once again, advising all to be wary of callers requesting money. A May 8 post from the department stated: “We are letting the public know that there once again is a large increase in phone scams. We urge you not to agree on any solicitations over the phone and report any illegal activity to your local law enforcement. Any concerns can be addressed to our office at 732 929 2044 or 732 349 2010.” Not only are these scam callers soliciting money, but they are also claiming to be calling

Phone Scams On The Rise Again
from the Sheriff’s Office. “Anyone that receives a phone call from a Lieutenant Alexander, he does not work for our office and do not accept any offers over the phone,” stated the department. A similar scam call incident occurred back in January 2019 where the scam callers were requesting residents pay fines for missing jury duty. This scam yielded over $250,000 from victims.
To avoid becoming a victim of a scam call: • Don’t answer calls from numbers you don’t recognize. • Don’t call back numbers you don’t recognize. • Don’t confirm any personal information over the phone. • Don’t return calls that claim to be from the IRS, the Social Security Administration, your bank or a local police or sheriff’s department.
If you are worried, look up the phone number for the agency. Do not call back a number left on voicemail. • Be wary about anyone calling on the phone about any emergency involving a family member or friend. Get a phone number to call back, then verify the whereabouts and safety of the person the call is about. • Change your voicemail message to withhold your name or other personal information.

5 Fascinating Facts: Hearing Edition Did you know your ears NEVER stop hearing? During sleep, your brain simply ignores incoming sounds. Here are four more facts to show just how intriguing the world of hearing can be. Some people have SUPER HEARING — sort of. True super hearing would make you miserable: Loud sounds would be even louder, and you could hear all the noises in your neighbors’ houses at once. But some people are sensitive to certain aspects of hearing: Some hear very quiet sounds, others very high pitches, and some can tell whether sound arrives at each ear at a different time. The WAX MOTH has the best hearing of any animal (including humans). Galleria mellonella, also known as the wax moth, can hear frequencies up to 300 kHz. For comparison, bats — the wax moth’s main predators — can hear their own sonar at 212 kHz, a dog can hear 45 kHz, and a human with unusually good hearing can hear 20 kHz. Tinnitus can be MUSICAL. Some
people experience what’s called musical ear syndrome (MES). As with tinnitus, it’s a sound perception with no external source. But unlike the simple sounds of tinnitus, such as ringing or buzzing, MES can include perception of entire songs, such as “Silent Night” or Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries.” In fact, a common name for MES is musical tinnitus. The longest anyone has endured the quietest place on Earth is 55 MINUTES. The anechoic (echo-free) chamber at Microsoft in Redmond, Wash., is the quietest place on earth. Any sound waves that hit the walls, floor, or ceiling are instantly absorbed. For a human sitting in it alone, the chamber is unsettling — you can hear noises that happen inside your body. Garden State Hearing & Balance Center has been providing hearing care services for almost 30 years. They can be reached at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin) or visit us at www.gardenstatehearing.com

9 Ways You Ruin Your Teeth By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
You may unknowingly be hurting your teeth with everyday things, for example drinking kombucha. Enamel is the protective hard coating on the outside of your teeth and when it comes off, tooth erosion occurs and cavities form. Several health articles have come out recently, warning about kombucha and its potentially detrimental effects on teeth. The same enamel damage can be done by eating citrus fruits, drinking fruit juice, drinking coffee, carbonated water or soda. Protect your teeth if you love these drinks: Drink water afterwards to rinse and neutralize all the acid. Find unsweetened brands and don’t sip it all day. Drink your kombucha (or other acidic drink) very quickly. Wait 30 minutes to brush your teeth because your enamel is most vulnerable when it has just been exposed to acidic beverages and brushing it may aggravate the enamel at its weakest moment. So rinse with water immediately after drinking, and then brush your teeth 30 minutes later. These 9 Factors Can Also Ruin Your Teeth: 1. Antihistamines. They have anti-cholinergic side effects which cause dry mouth through the reduction of saliva production. But it’s the saliva that helps control bacterial growth in your mouth and saliva contains compounds that allow for re-mineralization (strengthening) of your teeth. 2. Biting Fingernails. This can crack or splinter enamel, especially if it’s been primed by acidic drinks, and therefore weak to begin with. 3. Brushing Your Teeth Immediately.
Scrubbing your dental enamel right after drinking anything acidic can hurt the enamel. 4. Drinking Coffee or Wine. It stains your teeth and makes you look older. The trouble is that routinely whitening them with peroxide strips isn’t so great either. 5. Osteoporosis Medications. Some of these drugs have been shown to have a detrimental impact on jaw bone, especially in patients who have had their teeth pulled. 6. Fruit drinks and juice boxes. The kids love these things, but again, the fruit juices are very acidic, and full of sugar so it’s a twofold blow upon their developing teeth! 7. Xerostomia. This is the term for dry mouth and low salivary flow, which can be caused by medications as well as some disorders. This can be caused by a multitude of conditions among them, pre-diabetes, diabetes, stroke, thrush, Candida, Alzheimer’s disease, Sjogren’s syndrome or hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone). 8. Snoring or Sleep Apnea. It causes you to sleep with your mouth open and this leads to dry mouth, and this can cause your enamel to suffer from the lack of saliva. 9. Reflux. Your stomach acid is way more corrosive than soda, kombucha, fruit juice and sparkling water! When you have reflux, the stomach acid which has a pH of 2 flows up your esophagus and may get into your mouth and hurt your teeth. It probably goes without saying, but see your dentist routinely and eat a healthy balanced diet. Consider foods that are high in minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and selenium. Vitamin D and CoQ10 are also useful for general dental health.

A necessary but intensive task during your journey to purchase your new home will be providing your mortgage representative with all of the financial records and additional information they may require during the home buying process. Equally, during a re-finance of your existing home many of the same financial records will be required. In either case, the process is started with an application and then moves through the underwriting process until the loan is clear to close. This time period may span from 30 days to several months, depending on the complexity of the loan program. There are several tips to remember which will help achieve a smooth closing. First, as an applicant, you never want to open new credit cards, switch credit card balances to new credit cards or make large purchases on existing credit cards. Even the smallest of purchases on a new card may lead to a much larger available line of credit. This is important to remember when you are paying for movers or looking to purchase new appliances and/or furniture for your new home. All of these actions can disrupt your income to debt ratio which can be a major obstacle in getting to that clear to close position. Make sure prior to utilizing any credit that it is discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to avoid delays in obtaining clearance to close your loan. Second, in a situation where you are either re-financing your existing home or purchasing a home that requires repairs prior to closing, make sure all home improvements/ repairs are completed prior to the home appraisal. Nearly all loans require an appraisal. Therefore, in order to avoid any delays with
your closing, make sure you properly plan the Dina M. Vicari Esq. timing of your appraisal. Timing of the appraisal should be discussed with your Attorney and mortgage representative to ensure that there are no on-going improvements within the property that would require a re-appraisal, which will delay the process and cost an additional fee. Third, it is important to make sure you are prepared for closing and have enough money saved-up to bring to the closing table. At the time of closing there are lender costs and third party costs, such as payments to insurance companies, surveyors, title companies, home owner associations, tax office, municipal utilities and many more, which must be paid at closing. It is important to communicate with your Attorney and mortgage lender to review all of the closing costs that you will be responsible for at the time of closing. The above items may be overwhelming but we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Educators:
Continued From Page 8 Regional Day School Teacher Of The Year Maria Brucato-Wilson is a special education preschool teacher at Regional Day School. She also organizes many special programs for students and assists staff with her tech expertise. Principal Lisa Michallis said she first met Maria when she interviewed for an autism program teaching position in the fall of 2016. “Afterwards we sat in my office and I shared my vision for starting a preschool disabilities program at our school. Maria cried and shared her passion for the preschool population. A few days after she joined the RDS family, I approached Maria and inquired, ‘What do you think about starting the preschool?’ She was beyond thrilled. She immediately began her research and planned a comprehensive program. In the fall of 2017 we had a program and no students.” “A little over a year later, we have eleven students in our preschool program and the growth they made is incredible. One student spoke his first words, ‘I did it.’ Another student is graduating to kindergarten at his home school and we are expanding and developing a second program to meet the needs of Ocean County. “Maria has been instrumental in developing a vibrant, literature rich, multi-sensory, multi-modality program for three to five year old students with moderate to significant disabilities. The classroom environment is so inviting and supportive for our youngest learners. She collaborates with the speech, occupational and physical therapists to develop activities based upon each child’s unique needs. “Maria is a well-respected member of our faculty and has the trust of the families that send their little ones to our school. She keeps parents informed and shares videos and pictures of the many activities their children
are engaged in. Maria is very dedicated, innovative and compassionate. She truly is a shining example of excellence.” “I love love love what I do. I wake up every single day excited about going to work, even on the crazy days…I am so so so truly blessed!” Mrs. Brucato-Wilson remarked. “Thank you to my entire RDS family, since day one every single person at RDS has been so supportive of me and excited about the preschool program.” Regional Day School ESP of the Year Diane Mangold has been a paraprofessional at Regional Day School for 38 years. She currently works with high school aged students with multiple disabilities. Principal Lisa Michallis said that Mrs. Mangold is the only current employee that came with the building. “She has worked for six principals and made a significant impact on the lives of hundreds. “Diane is a creative thinker and planner. She is always looking ahead to the next trip or event. Diane believes strongly in inclusion for all students, teaching children life-skills, and community service. This year she was instrumental in developing a partnership with the senior residents at Spring Oaks Assisted Living residence located on Whitesville Road. Several times a year our student meet with their ‘grandfriends’ for a snack, craft, sing-along, camaraderie, and a game of good old Bingo. Friendships have been built. To see the students and seniors smiling faces when they greet each other or the hugs when they depart is very moving.” “Diane has a heart of gold and great pride for our students. She will always ask, ‘What can I do?’ and she will never shy away from a challenge...Tonight we celebrate you and all that you have done for the Regional Day School family and community. It is so rewarding to watch you embrace students and shape them into young adults that are prepared for their future.” Ms. Mangold said that after 38 years, she is still excited to go to work each day and
spoke about how rewarding it is to teach special needs children. “They complete me and I hope I complete them,” she remarked. Manchester Township High School Teacher of the Year Paul DeSilva is a Social Studies Teacher at Manchester Township High School. He serves on the school’s 504/I&RS committee, is advisor of the Bible Club, and also serves as a teacher mentor for new teachers. He is a graduate of MTHS. “He is an outstanding educator on our teaching staff,” said Principal Dennis Adams. “His authentic teaching strategies not only engage students, but allows them to critically think how history plays a vital role in today’s society. “The quality of his work is demonstrated through a unique skill set that is seen on a daily basis. He is compassionate, organized, a tireless worker, energetic, and establishes positive relationships with students. He represents the 1percent who are always willing to go above and beyond. “This accomplishment is indicative of what Mr. DeSilva does behind closed doors as a teacher, counselor, and motivator to many students. He takes great pride in leading, guiding, and assisting students in preparing them for the future. He understands setbacks and hurdles that come with being a teacher but yet remains a rock for students to share their concerns, learn life lessons, and discover how learning develops the mind. “Mr. DeSilva has a strong presence in our high school. He comes to work every day with a passionate conviction and integrity to make a difference in his student’s lives. I am proud to be working with an individual that displays such humbleness while having such a large impact on many students.” Mr. DeSilva spoke about all of the teachers who influenced him as a student in Manchester and said it reminded him of what a great school district it is. “In the end, the students are the best part of teaching. The time that we as teachers spend with students is a privilege
and a responsibility, but the impact goes both ways. We have a chance to positively impact young people, but they also leave their mark on us, and often change us for the better.” Manchester Township High School ESP of the Year Theresa Zacchia is a School Psychologist and part of the Child Study Team at Manchester Township High School. She also coordinates SAT Testing, is advisor for Key Club, and serves on the School Safety Team and I&RS committee. “She comes to work every day with a smile ready to advocate for her students and tackle any challenge,” remarked Principal Dennis Adams. “She is compassionate, organized, a tireless worker, and energetic, but yet very calm. She remains cool as a cucumber when dealing with parents, students or even a crisis situation...She is extremely knowledgeable in special ed law and performs her duties with integrity and enthusiasm. In addition, she has an outstanding rapport with students and staff, and remains dedicated to fulfilling her case manager responsibilities. “From the countless number of hours, we have spent working together this year, it is evident that she is a motivator, a cheerleader, and at times the child whisperer. She takes great pride in leading, guiding, and assisting students in preparing them for their future. She understands student setbacks and hurdles that come with her position yet remains a calming force for students to share their concerns...Every day her smile and genuine concern make a difference at MTHS.” “They say that if you find what you love to do, you will never have to work a day in your life,” Mrs. Zacchia remarked. “I have been so lucky to be one of those few people and to be able to look forward to coming to work each day, because for me, this is not just a job, this is about being a piece of something larger; to be a piece of a special community such as ours, and to inspire our young adults each day while they prepare to transition into the next chapter of their lives.”

Organizations Applaud Plastic Bans In Coastal Communities
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – Statewide organizations are commending municipalities that have pledged to ban single-use plastic waste in order to combat plastic pollution. The American Littoral Society and The Association of NJ Environmental Commissions (ANJEC) came together on May 8 with state and municipal leaders from across New Jersey to celebrate these local townships that have taken a stand on this issue. “The American Littoral Society is especially grateful to the more than 20 municipalities that have adopted ordinances banning the intentional release of balloons,” said Helen Henderson, Ocean Program Manager for the Littoral Society. “Soft plastics, like balloons, are the type of pollution most likely to cause death in birds and turtles who ingest them, and animals can also become entangled in the attached balloon ribbons.” There are numerous types of plastics that prove dangerous to marine life, including balloons. Balloons are especially dangerous because animals like sea turtles or birds often mistake them for food and or can get entangled in the attached ribbons. Balloons are high on the list of items collected at beach cleanups. According to the American Littoral Society, awareness of plastic pollution is growing in NJ and beyond. Even places like Long Island, NY have prohibited balloon releases and coastal towns in Delaware are preparing similar ordinances. Numerous states have already have made releases illegal, States such as California, Connecticut, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia and others have already made balloon releases illegal. New Jersey is one of many states – including Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Rhode Island – that is considering the ban as well. According to the Society, approximately 82 percent of the trash picked up during Clean Ocean Action’s beach cleanups in 2018 was plastic and Styrofoam waste. Preventing plastic pollution is essential for the health of coastal communities, such as the Jersey Shore. Local towns have already begun taking steps including: Asbury Park, NJ has introduced a ban on intentional balloon releases and plans to introduce a plastic bag ban and fee structure ordinance The Borough of Bradley Beach has passed ordinances banning both plastic bags and mass balloon releases. Ocean Gate, NJ passed an ordinance regulating plastic bags, food containers and straws that will go into effect in September. “We are so proud of the work local communities are doing to cut back on the amount of plastic waste that eventually ends up polluting our streams and rivers,” said ANJEC Executive Director Jennifer Coffey. “As part of our mission to support local environmental action throughout the state, ANJEC has been working for the past
four years with municipal environmental commissions and other organizations to educate communities and state officials on the importance of plastics legislation and the dire need to reduce plastic consumption.” Long Beach Township is a great example of the successful plastic bag ban, which was enacted there in November 2017. “The bag ban has been a success,” said Long Beach Mayor Joseph Mancini. ”The business owners came on board quickly and public engagement was successful through our reusable bag giveaway program. We made it through the first tourism season strong.” Many shore communities, like Point Pleasant Beach, have banned mass balloon releases, not only because of the litter they cause but the harm they cause to marine life. “As a popular seaside community with a good number of ocean-side weddings, parties and celebrations, balloon releases of all sizes and shapes were occurring regularly in Point Pleasant Beach,” said Point Pleasant Beach Councilman Paul Kanitra. “At beach cleanup after beach cleanup, we were continually finding the deflated remnants on our beaches and in our waters. Our balloon release ban and the accompanying penalties have significantly curbed this practice in town and we’re seeing the effects already in the short time since its enactment.” According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), of all trash, plastic waste has the greatest potential to harm the environment, wildlife and humans. It can be found in almost all water bodies and is transported by rivers to the ocean. There it moves with the currents, and is often eaten by birds and fish, concentrating toxic chemicals in their tissues, and filling their stomachs, causing them to starve. “NJEL urges municipalities: Don’t wait for the State! The State is waiting for you,” said Noemi de la Puente of NJ Environmental Lobby. “The faster townships deal with disposable plastic, the better off they will be in the future as landfill space in the northeast diminishes, and the cleaner the township will be because litter will diminish. We can’t recycle our way out of this disposable plastic problem. We generate bags by the billions. Recycling will never, ever catch up with our plastic waste, especially with China closing its doors to American recycling streams. We owe it to our children and grandchildren -- don’t leave them stuck with our tons and tons of plastic waste.” “New Jersey can and must soon adopt legislation banning the needless and harmful practice of balloon releases and also take up the issue of single use plastic bags once again” added Henderson. “Until that time, we will continue to encourage and celebrate our local champions who are making a difference now” she concluded.

First launched by the Barnegat Bay Partnership in 2015, “Paddle for the Edge” has become an annual event. So far, volunteers have collected more than 3,600 data points with their smartphones, while enjoying a great time out on the water. The data provides important information about the state of the bay’s marshes and will help guide future research and restoration projects.
This summer’s “Paddle for the Edge” event will take place from June 29 through July 21. Volunteer paddlers can spend just a few hours on the water anytime during these dates to record some basic information for this shoreline study. Interested? The first step is to attend one of the following training sessions to learn how to collect the data: June 8, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., at the Toms River Library; June 10, 6 -8 p.m., at the Lacey Library; June 11, 6 -8 p.m., at the Toms River Library; and June 15, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., at the Tuckerton Seaport. Visit barnegatbaypartnership.org for more information and to register for a 2019 training session. Questions? Email Paddle4TheEdge@gmail.com.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists, PC: Treating Everything Below The Knee
By Michael Vandenberg Dr. Scott Amoss, DPM, CWS is a lot more than a “foot doctor,” as people often mistake podiatrists for. In reality, “we provide comprehensive lower extremity care,” he said. So yes, if your foot hurts, Dr. Amoss will be happy to help. However, that barely scratches the surface of all the conditions he sees and the treatments he provides. Dr. Amoss (pronounced like “famous Amoss”) grew up in nearby Ocean Township and has been connected to the Jersey Shore community and greater New Jersey area his entire life. Originally, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Rutgers and spent a few years in the chemical industry. However, that feeling of wanting to make a difference in people’s lives that drives all physicians caught hold of Dr. Amoss. He liked podiatry in particular because of its ability to help people really quickly. “You can immediately have a positive impact on someone’s life. They come in pain, and can leave virtually pain free.” Scott Amoss became Doctor Scott Amoss when he graduated fourth in his class with numerous honors from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. He then completed a two year residency focusing on orthopedic, vascular, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, in
addition to training in internal and emergency medicine, dermatology, and radiology. After that, Dr. Amoss knew it was time to go out on his own, so he opened Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists in Whiting. 17 years later, the practice is going strong and recently opened a new location in Toms River to be closer to Community Medical Center, where he’s a surgeon on staff. Critically, this new foothold also allows him, as a specialist in diabetic foot care, to help the growing diabetic community in the area. While expanding served a logistically necessary purpose, Advanced Foot & Ankle has never lost its personal touch. You’ll never just be passed off to whichever doctor is on the clock that day, because Dr. Amoss is proud to be a solo practitioner. “The patients see me and only me,” he said. “It’s good continuity of care.” His tight-knit support staff of seven ensures that you get the streamlined care you deserve. That’s crucial in the field of Podiatry because, after all, things can get serious when it comes to Diabetes and foot complications. Luckily, Dr. Amoss is an Amputation Prevention Specialist as well as a Certified Wound Specialist. Less serious conditions like hammertoes, ingrown nails, bunions, and athlete’s foot can be treated in the office,

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of may 18 - may 24
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep a cool head. The things that are making you angry may ultimately prove to be of no importance. Stay focused on your own life and avoid being overly critical of others. Focus on securing your financial situation in the week ahead. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Carve out your own niche in the world. In the upcoming week you feel your best when you have the freedom to do what pleases you when you feel the urge. Take care of yourself and enjoy your life. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): All knowledge is useful. There’s no telling when a valuable bit of information could come in handy so keep your mind open to new experiences. Take the time to listen to the ideas of others in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Good things come to those who wait. Be patient and save your funds until you can afford the best quality when it comes to something you really need. Small sacrifices could help balance the budget this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sometimes it’s best to keep comments to yourself. Differing opinions are what make the world interesting so stay open to the views of others. Maintain harmony by trying to see things from someone else’s perspective this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be tactful and sympathetic as this week unfolds. Be considerate of someone’s feelings, pointing out shortcomings could make you seem harsh or overly critical. Just a few kind words could boost someone’s confidence.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Know when it’s best to back down. Resentment may be created if you continuously push someone to disclose information that is too personal. Agree to disagree when it comes to differences of opinion in the week to come. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Never say never. While a current partnership may not go as planned, don’t close the door on working together in the future. Turn a negative situation into a positive learning experience during the upcoming week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Take your time to do the best work you can rather than simply rushing to be finished. Stand on the merit of your own achievements instead of competing with others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There’s no diploma given for common sense. If you feel that offering your knowledge to someone in the upcoming week could help them, then do it. If you prevent them from making a mistake, they may thank you later. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your time may not feel like your own. You may be so busy with obligations and responsibilities this week that there will be little chance of doing what you enjoy. Write down your best ideas for future reference. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): There’s no shame in taking a breath. Sit back and recharge your batteries to prepare for the long work week ahead. However, there’s no reason why you can’t think about the future and make plans while you relax.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen
A Cooking Lesson From My Mom By Wolfgang Puck KAISERSCHMARREN WITH FRESH CHERRY COMPOTE Serves 6 to 8 For the Kaiserschmarren: 1/2 cup (125 mL) seedless raisins 6 tablespoons dark rum 2 cups (500 mL) creme fraiche 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) granulated sugar, divided, plus extra for coating 8 large eggs, separated 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar Pinch kosher salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, for coating For the cherry compote: 4 cups (1 L) pitted fresh cherries 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly squeezed orange juice 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest 1/4 cup (60 ml) granulated sugar 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Confectioners’ sugar, for serving Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 F (220 C). Meanwhile, put the raisins and rum in a small bowl and leave the raisins to plump for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain off excess rum, reserving 1 tablespoon of rum. Put the creme fraiche, 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the sugar, the egg yolks, plumped raisins, the 1 tablespoon rum and the
vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Whisk until blended. Sprinkle in the flour, stir, and set aside. Put the egg whites in a large, clean mixing bowl. Add the cream of tartar and salt. With a hand-held electric mixer on medium speed and clean beaters, beat the whites until thick and foamy. Then, still beating, gradually sprinkle in the remaining 1 cup (250 mL) sugar. Continue beating until soft peaks form when the beaters are lifted out. With a large spoon, drop a generous dollop of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk batter. With a flexible rubber spatula, gently fold the whites into the batter to lighten it. Spoon the remaining meringue over the batter and gently but thoroughly fold it in. With a brush or clean fingers, spread the butter inside a medium-sized ovenproof skillet to coat it evenly. Evenly sprinkle in enough additional granulated sugar to coat the butter, turning the pan for even distribution; then, gently tap out any excess sugar. With the spatula, gently scrape the batter into the prepared skillet and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven until the mixture puffs up and turns golden brown on top, and it feels springy when very gently and quickly touched at its center, 10 to 12 minutes. While the souffle bakes, make the cherry compote: In a nonreactive skillet, stir together the pitted cherries, orange juice and zest, granulated sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Cook over medium-low heat just until heated through and the cherries have begun to give up some of their juices, stirring to help the sugar dissolve and mashing a few of the cherries to help thicken the sauce, about 5 minutes. Keep warm. To serve, divide the compote among 6 to 8 serving plates. With a large serving spoon, scoop up large dollops of the souffle, distributing it evenly on top of the compote. Dust generously with confectioners’ sugar. Serve immediately.
