–Photos by Chris Lundy Survivors took a lap around the course together and ended at the yellow brick road. By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Cancer doesn’t sleep, and neither did they. For the eleventh time, the Berkeley-Lacey Relay For Life filled Veterans Park with hope and camaraderie as the overnight event raised money for the American Cancer Society. “This is a time for hope and healing,” said Roxa n ne Stephens,
event lead. The relay is the signature fundraiser for the organization, she said. Over the 11 years that this particular relay has been held, the money raised has gone to such things as patient care, treatment plans, and equipment. “Every penny raised goes to a good cause and is well spent,” she said.
On Saturday afternoon, it was warm out with a steady wind. The first lap, after an opening ceremony, was for survivors. According to the American Cancer Society, a survivor is someone who is told “You have cancer.”
Caregivers also took a lap around the course. “Caregivers are the unsung heroes,” Stephens said. They are the ones who are keeping doctors’ appointments and holding all the pieces together. But (Hope - See Page 4)
July 4th Fireworks All Set For This Year By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – A year after the fireworks company failed to put on a show, Beachwood officials said that everything is in readiness for this year’s July 4 th Fireworks on the Toms River Last year, the fireworks vendor, Fireworks Extravaganza, was not able to ship the fireworks. They did not have staff available with licenses to transport explosives. They later said they had a problem with a driver, and did not have a good Plan B. It would have been the 78th year that the fireworks would be held. Fireworks Extravaganza, of New Rochelle, was scheduled to put on shows at several other venues on the same day. They were not able to get to Beachwood and Milltown. This year will be different, Cou ncilman Gerald LaCrosse said. “They have guaranteed a special driver, a special truck, and to be on
location on time.” Although local officials are heavily involved in the planning of the fireworks, it’s not paid for by tax dollars. Rather, it relies on donations. “After last year’s unfortunate circumstance I was able to negotiate a free show from Fireworks Extravaganza,” Mayor Ron Roma said. “We still need donations as they are used year after year to continue the shows as well as for providing refreshments for our emergency services personnel and their families while they are working the event.” “Any amount is certainly welcome and appreciated,” LaCrosse said. “It means so much to the thousands of people who come out.” In fact, if every family just gave a few dollars, it would pay for itself. Checks can be made out to Beachwood Fireworks, and mailed to the municipal building at 1600 Pinewald Road, Beachwood, NJ 08722.

Seaside Is For Families…Provided There Is An Adult
By Chris Lundy SEASIDE HEIGHTS – All are welcome to the attractions in Seaside, but this is the first season that the borough has instituted requirements that a legal adult be on site. This goes in several directions. Firstly, hotels
on the island will be required by a relatively new ordinance to have at least one 18-year-old physically staying in the room, said Christopher Vaz, the borough administrator. They can’t have a parent sign for them and then leave. There has to be a legal adult who will take responsibility for
any illegal activities or damage. Further, bars and clubs can’t have teen nights where there is “18 to party, 21 to drink.” This was not too common anymore, he said. Prom season is past, and that was the first test (Seaside - See Page 4)

Hope:
Continued From Page 1 even if you’re not the primary caregiver, there is still a lot to be said for anyone who spends a little time to look out for another person’s wellbeing, even if it’s a coworker calling to check up on them or a child drawing a picture. The relay course was outlined around the main field of Veterans Park, dotted with
signs that gave information or thanked sponsors. Fundraising booths were set up where people held games, raffles and gift auctions. Some cooked barbecue or empanadas. Some sold shirts or scrunchies. All of the booths were fundraisers for the relay. On the edge of the track there was an empty table to recall those who are no longer with us. The table is small, “symbolizing the frailty of a single patient, sometimes alone in the fight against his or her disease.”
The tablecloth is white like a doctor’s coat. The single rose represents the enduring love of families and friends. On the plate, a slice of lemon represents the bitter battle, and the salt sprinkled on the plate is for countless tears that have been shed. The purple ribbon is indicative of those who are supporting work for a cure, and the candle is the light of hope. Over the course of 11 years, this particular relay was close to hitting the $1 million

Seaside:
Continued From Page 1 of this, he said. These regulations further Seaside Heights’ push to market itself as a family-friendly atmosphere. Borough officials clashed with the party promoters when they moved to crack down on some of the illegal revelry. For example, at the club Karma, the restaurant portion of the club announced it would not be returning. Karma announced that it would become a nightclub, with a “hyperglow party” last year. On social media this was described as an ongoing large party of high energy dance music in an ultra violet atmosphere. Police later said there were incidents of drug use and underage drinking. Another case happened when thousands of people arrived on a private beach. The daylong party had been announced on an Instagram page, and partygoers were charged $8 to attend. The property owner was unaware that this was happening. No permits had been applied for the event, so the borough did not know it was happening until people started showing up in droves. There were reports of public drunkenness, drug use, loud music and a few fights. Although known for its party atmosphere viewed on the infamous Jersey Shore show, officials and yearlong residents have been promoting the family friendly culture of Seaside.

By Kimberly Bosco LAKEWOOD – Whether you were leaving from a game at the Lakewood BlueClaws or just passing through, you might have caught a glimpse of the rainbow of people lining the corner of New Hampshire and Cedar Bridge Ave. More than one hundred supporters of the LGBTQ community came out in full force opposing a protest coordinated against local Pride Month celebrations, spearheaded by Lakewood’s Rabbi Yesuda Levin. The protests were on June 6, although the Pride Night held at the stadium was actually on June 8. The rabbi organized the rally on Thursday because Saturday was a holy day. Cars honked in solidarity and cheered through open windows at the high-spirited crowd as they rounded the corner. Supporters decked out in rainbow colors and creative headgear held up signs with messages of pride, facing off against Levin and his supporters on the opposing corner. The Pride side dwarfed Levin’s Pride month protest by a landslide. The celebration/protest was accentuated by the flashing of red and blue lights as Lakewood Police Officers directed traffic and kept order at the intersection. The leader of the anti-pride sentiment in the protest was Rabbi Levin, a staunchly conservative rabbi who has been preaching anti-gay and anti-abortion beliefs for many years, even during his candidacy for New York City mayor in 1985. In the days leading up to the protest, videos of Levin condemning Pride celebrations, calling them an “abomination” and a “homosexualization” of the community, were shared repeatedly over social media. In a first video, which was shared on the First Amendment Activist Facebook page, Levin targets the Ocean County Library’s various Pride-themed events. Various branches of the Ocean County Library take part in Pride by highlighting books, speakers, movies, and more that focus on LGBTQ themes, promoting tolerance and understanding. In the video, Levin preaches “keep your
hands off the minds of our children,” calling those at the Lakewood BlueClaws stadium “lowlife scum” for hosting a gay pride event. A second video followed in which Levin proceeded to denounce the BlueClaws celebration and urged people to come out to the protest. Levin stated that these Pride celebrations were contributed to the “homosexualization” of a community “whose community standards and values are traditional and biblical.” Levin goes on to cite “Pride” celebrations as a “threat to Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike.” The BlueClaws’ Pride celebration includes a BlueClaws Pride Night Hat Giveaway for the first 1,500 fans and fireworks following the game, according to their website. LGBTQ supporters who came out to the protest made it clear that Levin’s sentiments were not universal. Some toted signs with Pride-themed messages such as “I support my LGBTQ friends” and “What’s so bad about a little pride?” Others made signs with more pointed messages for Levin like “Religion is no cause for hate,” “Homophobia is not tolerated in Ocean County,” and “Free hugs for non-bigoted bastards.” All the while, the crowd carried on chants of “Pride Doesn’t Die,” “U.S. of Gay,” and “Love Not Hate.” Many of these supporters made the decision to come out to the protest after seeing Levin’s flyer, which quickly made the rounds on social media prompting members of the community to join the fight against Pride, at the BlueClaws Stadium on June 6. The flyer states: “This abomination must stop!!!…This abomination celebration will victimize young innocent children. No other FAMILY FRIENDLY towns in Ocean County have such outrages (sic) events which are antithetical to our religious sensitivities. Our children are already bombarded in schools/media/entertainment with terrible anti-family brainwashing. Gay Pride (Pride - See Page 14)

Bill Would Help More Americans Save For Retirement From The Desk Of
Congressman Andy Kim WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. House voted to pass a bill co-sponsored by Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) which makes it
easier for Americans to save for retirement. “Every American deserves the peace of mind of a secure retirement, and this
bill is an important step forward towards ensuring that for millions,” said Congressman Kim. “I’m proud to stand with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to pass this legislation, and I’ll continue to work with people from both parties to strengthen retirement benefits for all Americans.” H.R. 1994, the SECURE
Act, is a bipartisan bill that makes it easier for Americans to save for retirement by empowering small businesses to offer retirement plans to employees, helping provide retirement benefits to home care workers and allowing part-time workers to participate in a 401(k) plan. “This bill is a win-win for
our small businesses and the millions they employ in our country,” said Kristi Howell, President and CEO of the Burlington County Regional Chamber of Commerce and Co-Chair of Congressman Kim’s Small Business Advisory Council. “Small business owners work every day to make payroll and invest in their
businesses. This bill will make it more affordable for small business owners to set up retirement plans and help set up thousands of retirement plans.” The bill also provides tax relief to Gold Star families who saw tax rates rise due to provisions in the tax bill passed during the previous Congress.
Bill Would Fund Nature-Based Shoreline Protection
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker joined six other colleagues in introducing the Living Shorelines Act, a piece of legislation that would create a new grant program for nature-based shoreline protection projects known as living shorelines. As sea-level rise and coastal storms continue to threaten thousands of coastal communities and economies, investing in living shorelines can help reduce risk from floods and storms and increase the resiliency of our coasts. Living shorelines are a type of green infrastructure that protect and stabilize coastal edges by using natural materials such as plants, sand, shell, or rock. Unlike a concrete seawall or other artificial structure, which impedes the growth of plants and ani-
mals, living shorelines can grow over time, allowing them to adapt to changing conditions. Using green and natural infrastructure, communities can create a buffer that mitigates the impacts of shoreline flooding by reducing wave energy and decreasing erosion. Green infrastructure is cost-effective and can also provide benefits such as improved local water quality and ecology. “As climate change continues to threaten our environment, we must ensure that our shore communities are prepared in the face of potentially devastating storms that hit our region,” said Sen. Menendez. “After Superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc on our state, I fought hard for federal funding to make our communities stronger and more resilient. This bill will continue aiding New Jersey’s shore
towns in helping protect our families, environment and economy.” “New Jersey communities are increasingly threatened by the effects of sea level r ise a nd ext reme weather events caused by climate change,” said Sen. Booker. “As we saw in the after math of Hur ricane Sandy, investments in natural infrastructure, such as living shorelines, can mitigate flooding, improve public safety, and provide a significant return on investment.” The Living Shorelines Act will: • Establish a grant program to help states, towns, a n d NG O s i m ple m e n t climate resilient living shoreline projects and encourage the use of natural materials in the protection of coastal communities; • Direct NOAA to develop criteria to select grantees

based on the potential of the project to protect the community, and the ecological benefits of the project, among other things; • Prioritize areas that have received a Stafford Act disaster declaration or areas that have a documented history of coastal inundation or erosion; and
• Authorize $50 million a year for these grants. Senators Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Richard Blu menthal (D - Con n.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), and Jef f Me rk ley ( D - O re.) a r e a l so c os p on sor i ng the legislation. Congress-

RESTORING VISION AFTER STROKE
When a stroke occurs in the brain’s “primary visual cortex,” which processes visual information, the resultant lack of oxygenated blood can lead to damage among the neurons in that region. Approximately 60% of people who suffer a stroke experience vision loss. While some patients may spontaneously regain their sight, those who have sustained damage to their “retinal ganglion cells” are not likely to recover sight in the affected area. However, new research reveals that some retinal cells in those with stroke-related vision impairment were still healthy and functional even though sight in that part of the eye was lost. Research shows the next step will involve finding ways to help these healthy cells interpret visual information from the visual cortex. How your vision is affected by stroke depends on several factors. They include what part of the brain was affected, how severe the stroke was, and how long before it was treated. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. To schedule an eye exam, please call 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

Need Help Finding Senior Programs?
By Phyllis Brown This column is written more than a month before it’s published. So, no, I’m not spring cleaning in July. It’s May and I’ve been spring-cleaning for days. I started in the guest room closets and found old tax documents from 2000-2006. Thought my office should be next. We don’t need to keep records for seven years. The government says for most things we only need 3-4 years. The result? Four big garbage bags of shredded paper! Yes, you can bring your shredded paper to the first aid’s recycling center.

Pride:
Continued From Page 6 events at family venues like sporting events, bowling alleys, malls, shopping centers or even Ocean County College. Do not sexualize kids at public events!!” A former Lakewood resident of 30 years, Janet came out to the protest in support of her LGBTQ son. “It’s my turn to start getting out there…It was his [Levin’s] viral things that literally made me sick,” she said. “He was spouting evil.” Janet made a sign specifically for Levin that read: “You are acting like Hitler, with hate in your heart towards others. May God forgive you in your ignorance!” Sporting homemade t-shirts with the slogans “Exceptional Bisexual” and “Born This Gay” on them, Kristyn Holleran and Nicole Spano of Toms River were happy to see such a sizeable turnout in favor of Pride. “I saw the flyer on Facebook…and I didn’t love it,” said Holleran. “It’s a blue state but it’s kind of a red county so I didn’t expect to see this much support.” Holleran joked that last year was known
by many in the LGBTQ community as 20-“gay-teen” (2018), making this year 20-“Bi-teen” (2019). On the opposing corner sat Levin and his supporters, a crowd only a fraction of the size of the Pride side. Members of the Jewish faith, with megaphone in hand, stated: “There is no pride in sin. America teaches you that you can do what you want and get away with it, but guess what? There is a God in this world.” These protesters toted signs preaching “self-control” and “holiness” as America’s principles. Despite the videos and flyers, BlueClaws Pride went on as planned, with a match against Greensboro. “The BlueClaws consider themselves an open and inclusive organization and member of the community,” said BlueClaws Team President Joe Ricciutti. “We want to show the LGBT community that they are welcome at BlueClaws games, and always will be welcome at BlueClaws games.” Even Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer condemned the protest, citing the “Love Thy Neighbor” campaign, claiming there is “no place for hate in Ocean County.”

There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearing Americans who cannot rely on traditional sound-oriented smoke detectors and therefore, are at a disadvantage. Decreased hearing can limit a person’s ability to take quick action and escape during a fire emergency. Those with hearing loss need to take extra precautions to protect themselves from the hazards of home fire. This includes being aware of the availability of f lashing and/or vibrating smoke alarms and having an effective escape plan in place. Have the proper alerting system. Smoke detectors are not doing their job if you cannot hear them. Consider the following statistics: 20 percent of home fires occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., yet these fires account for more than half of all home fire deaths. Something to keep in mind: most smoke detectors produce a relatively high frequency (3000 kHz) sound. Recent studies have revealed that this frequency is not particularly effective in waking up children, heavy sleepers, those taking sleeping pills or other medication and those who have had too much to drin k. In addition, high frequency alarms are almost completely ineffective in alerting people with high frequency hearing loss, accounting for about 90 percent of people with hearing loss and all deaf people. Install a f lashing or vibrating smoke alarm on every level of your home. Test all
smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. People with hear ing loss are at greater risk from night time f ires because their hearing instr uments are typically out of their ears when sleeping. Not all alerting devices meet every need but some do come close. The ideal device would not only sound an alarm but also f lash a light and vibrate the bed. This would alert the three most important senses simultaneously. There are a great number of smoke detectors designed specifically for those with a hearing impairment. Light-tone HL bedside fire alarm and clock alerts you by sounding a loud low frequency and vibrating the bed. The combination of the low frequency alarm sounding and the bed shaking wakes even heavy sleepers. Silent call makes great aler ting systems that work with more than just smoke detectors. Plan you escape: An important tip is not to isolate yourself. Inform family members, the building manager or a neighbor of your fire safety plan and practice it with them. Contact you local fire department on a non-emergency phone number and explain your special needs. They can help with your escape plan, perform a home inspection and offer suggestions about smoke alar m placement. They can also keep your information on file. For more infor mation about f ire safety, visit www.usfa.fema.gov.

Your Medication May Deplete Life-Giving Hormones By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
DHEA is dubbed the “Fountain of Youth” hormone, and it is produced in high quantities during your younger years. After age 30, it slowly begins to decline. It may eventually flat-line, especially if you are under a lot of stress, or you take a popular medication category called a “statin” which is for cholesterol management. DHEA stands for dehydroepiandrosterone and it’s a naturally-made steroid. There are synthetic versions available for supplementation, however I don’t recommend you do that without first speaking to a bio-identical hormone expert. It is what’s known as an “androgen” hormone, think of that as a manly hormone, so it can cause male-pattern hair growth. In women this can be very unsettling, think of facial hair, and loss of scalp hair, or deepening of the voice, acne, missed periods and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). Much of the research is done on higher levels (ie how to reduce elevated DHEA). A glaring omission is low DHEA due to medication use. There are several medications that can deplete levels of DHEA, thus aging you faster. One such category is statin cholesterol medications. If you take a statin, you should definitely speak to your physician about restoring your DHEA, either through supplementation or prescription hormones. Taking statins can deplete DHEA, it’s what I call the ‘drug mugging’ effect, where a drug mugs a nutrient or essential life-giving hormone. With statin use, you become
deficient in DHEA. There are studies to show this. Low DHEA can cause a lot of damage in the body because it is a precursor to your sex hormones. Therefore, low DHEA means low testosterone and low estrogen. DHEA is what turns into those hormones. If you’re a man and run out of testosterone, it’s likely because you have run low on DHEA (the precursor). Low testosterone causes you to feel weak, tired, apathetic, uninterested. It causes a loss in bone mass, meaning higher risk of fractures and broken bones if you trip! The medical term for men is andropause and menopause for women. Also, you may gain some belly weight, and lose muscle mass. Again, this happens to both men and women actually, just look at a picture of yourself at 35 and a picture at 55 and you’ll see the difference. DHEA forms estrogen, so a post-menopausal woman (who would have reduced estrogen) may experience hot flashes, anxiety, weight gain, sadness, depression, fatigue and lack of motivation. Low DHEA might be the result of your medication, and restoring it would be easy, so long as you go slow and start with low doses. Remember, DHEA is sold overthe-counter. Taking it is solely up to you, and your practitioners. The dose is not one-size fits all. If you accidentally take too much DHEA, it could increase risk of hormone-driven cancers and may exacerbate psychiatric problems (mania) so I’m not able to advise you on how much DHEA to take, what form or what type.

Around The Jersey Shore $60M Available In Victims’ Services Grants
By Chris Lundy TRENTON – Agencies are encouraged to apply for grants to help victims of crime, with $60 million being made available through the state. The announcement came from Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal, who stated that new policies have made the application process for the New Jersey Victim Assistance Grant (VAG) Program easier. Agencies can now apply for up to $400,000 for a 24-month grant, which is $100,000 more than the previous limit, he said in a press release. Meanwhile, the application process has been simplified, and can be done online. “While New Jersey strives to reduce violent crime in our communities, we have also increased our efforts to provide services to those who are victims of crime, particularly those who suffer as a result of gun violence,” said Attorney General Grewal. “Even in a state with some of the country’s strongest gun regulations, gun violence continues to take lives and has devastating effects on communities, families and survivors. Today we are increasing the funds available to organizations to provide essential services to victims and making the process to apply for those funds easier. These changes are the result of our efforts to strengthen the state’s handling of
victim services.” New Jersey Victim Assistance Grant Program funds programs that answer the physical as well as emotional needs of crime victims, and help them get stability and safety. They also assist victims navigate the criminal justice system. This year, the priority will be on services to victims of gun violence, including providing the victim with: emotional support, grief counseling, crime scene clean-up services, supportive services that help the victim stabilize their lives after victimization, safety planning and intervention and interruption services that address the psychological impact of the injury. The VAG program does not support activities that prevent future victimization, which are ineligible for funding under federal guidelines. Eligible applicants include private, nonprofit organizations and public agencies that provide crime victim services. Public agencies must provide services to crime victims and cannot be part of a law enforcement agency or a prosecutor’s office. Applications are due on or before 11:59 p.m on June 28th. For more information, consult nj.gov/oag/ grants/FY18-VOCA-VAG_NOAF-Competitive.pdf and nj.gov/oag/grants/01_FY18-VOCA_Program-Guidelines.pdf

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Early Bird Breakfast 6:30am-9am
Inside The Law CALL TO ACTION! TIME IS RUNNING OUT. S-2432/A-5371 Permits recovery of uncompensated medical expenses in civil action that result from motor vehicle accidents This Bill (S-2432/A-5371) is now Governor Murphy’s desk for his consideration. We urge you to call Governor Murphy NOW and tell him to sign this Bill. (609) 292-6000. The New Jersey Association for Justice and R.C. Shea & Associates strongly support S-2432/A-5371, which will allow victims of motor vehicle accidents to seek payment for medical expenses that may exceed insurance coverage they have under Personal Injury Protection coverage (PIP). This bill is needed in light of the New Jersey Supreme Court decision in Haines v. Taft, which limits payments for medical care to the insured’s PIP limits with no regard to the actual extent of the injuries sustained and the cost of treatment and care. In many cases, and especially for those lower-income individuals who followed the law and shopped for an insurance policy they could afford, that PIP limit is as little as $15,000. This decision discriminates against those in New Jersey who do not have the financial resources to buy high levels
of insurance or PIP coverage. As Justice Barry T. Albin said in his dissenting opinion in the case, the decision “will have a catastrophic impact on the right of low-income automobile accident victims to recover their medical costs from the wrongdoers who cause their injuries. The decision leaves innocent automobile accident victims without the legal right to sue negligent and reckless drivers for recovery of their unpaid medical bills – medical bills that will bankrupt some and financially crush others.” The majority decision in Haines invited the Legislature to step in and correct this unjust situation and S-2432/A-5371 does precisely that. This bill would clarify that the Legislative intent is that a victim injured in an auto accident should not be left with crushing medical bills and no legal recourse against the tortfeasor. The public policy of the state of New Jersey simply cannot be that consumers risk potential bankruptcy or financially devastating medical bills in exchange for lower premiums. Injured auto accident victims should not be left to pay for the medical care necessitated by the negligent actions of those who have injured them. TAKE ACTION NOW!

Local Man Drives Into Competitive World Of eSports
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Electronic sports, or competitive video gaming known as “eSports” is a fast-growing international phenomenon that is projected to generate over $1 billion in revenue this year, with over a third of that coming from the North American market. It’s a whole other world familiar to Generations Y and Z, but maybe not as familiar to those who didn’t grow up playing video games in their living rooms every day. Township resident Nick Jobes, 27, was one of those kids who was “highly into video games,” starting from age 6 or 7, until he had to focus on other priorities as a fulltime student at Monmouth University while working a full-time job. Jobes, who recently became a professional gamer in eNascar Heat Pro League for Henrick Motorsports Gaming Club, explained how eSports is helping to increase viewership for sports like NASCAR racing. “NASCAR saw [eSports] as an opportunity to grow the sport, because generally speaking, over the last five to 10 years, there has been a decline in viewership among the younger generation,” he said. “Nearly every young kid plays video games, so NASCAR wanted to come up with a way to connect the two,” he explained. Jobes always watched NASCAR races growing up, but realized early on that those who drove race cars either needed to have money or a connection. “So this was my outlet, playing the video game,” he said. Every year, NASCAR comes out with a
revised and updated video game. In December, they had the first-ever qualifying period to find the best online racers for a new eSports racing league, so for 40 days Jobes played, and got ranked each day on 30 different tracks. Out of 589 races ran, Jobes won 214, and made the cut when it was narrowed down to the top 100 U.S. players. There were 28 players selected - 14, two-person teams - and Jobs was contacted by three racing teams and drafted by Hendrick Motorsport for their team. “Prior to this, I hadn’t played for a couple of years, so during the qualifying period I didn’t know anybody,” he said. “I reached out to the top guys to ask for help because I wanted to be more competitive.” In the realistic video game, each player has to adjust 50 to 75 car settings before the race even begins. The top gamers made suggestions to Jobes as to tire pressure, shock settings, gear ratios and much more, saving him hours in building his car, he said. “My lack of experience really hurt,” he said. “The car settings are very important in this game in order to make the car perform better.” After the qualifying period narrowed the racers down to 100, 25 at a time competed against each other in “showcase” races. Jobes performed in the top five for each race, which he was happy about since he came in as an underdog, he said. Two weeks ago, Jobes flew to Charlotte, N.C. by Hendrick Motorsports for the gamers to compete in the first race of the season on a
stage next to the track where a real-life NASCAR race would take place two hours later. The gamers were streamed live, and it had some 95,700 total views. Jobes came in ninth place, and he got to meet and spend time with some of the drivers after the race. Jobes explained how gaming works and how income can be generated by gaming. A popular video game called Fortnight (a survival game set on modern-day Earth) has about 45 million active players all over the world, and many people tune in just to watch others play on streaming sites like Twitch and YouTube. Viewers get to see the player in real-time, and also see the player’s screen, Jobes said. “Most people ages 10 to 25 either play Fortnight, have played Fortnight, or watch people play Fortnight,” he said. “It’s fun to watch because it is a very skill-driven game.” A well-known Fortnight player, “Ninja,” commonly has 100,000 to 200,000 people watching him at one time, and when the singer Drake came to play with him, there were some 600,000 viewers, Jobes said. “I can’t replicate what ‘Ninja’s doing, and when some people don’t have the skills to replicate the best, they’d rather watch,” he explained. Jobes said there is a personality component involved with some of the more successful gamers. “Ninja” does a funny dance when he wins or when his viewers egg him on, he said. Gamers primarily make money in two different ways, he said. First, through spon-
sorships. “Ninja” is sponsored by Red Bull, and while he’s playing there is always a Red Bull refrigerator in the background. The second way is through advertising revenue where viewers have to watch a 15 or 30-second ad before you see the gamer live. “‘Ninja’ is making stupid money,” Jobes said. “Like $5 to $6 million a year, and he’s only about 25 years old.” People are highly driven to watch eSports, and sports industries are starting to realize the revenue potential by bringing more fans into the industry, he said. Jobes said he is making some money from gaming, but has no plans to quit his day job as a tax accounting supervisor at a CPA firm in Toms River. The gamers in eNascar Heat Pro League aren’t being streamed live yet because the league wants their viewers to watch the official stream on Facebook or Twitch, but they’ll start soon after the initial growth period, Jobes said. “A lot of people wanted to get drafted,” Jobes said. “I saw this opportunity and I put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes. It’s not always visible, but my results have spoken for themselves.” Jobes said he’s had to work hard for everything he has. “I know if I want something, I’m gonna go get it,” he said. There will be a total of 12 eNascar Heat Pro League races, which are held every other Wednesday at 8 p.m. To watch the live stream of the next race on June 26, visit eNASCAR.com or at 704GamesNascarHeat on Facebook.

By Kimberly Bosco WALL – Monmouth County saw 39 new young aviators take their first f light during the Young Eagles Flight Rally over the weekend. Hosted by Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 315 of the North Jersey Shore, 39 boys and girls from 8 to 17 years old got to take a unique airplane ride at the event, held on June 8 at Monmouth Jet Center. Created in 1992, the EAA Young Eagles Program is intended to incite interest in aviation among youth. In the past 27 years, EAA pilots have taken over 2 million kids, from over 90 countries, on flights. Since 2004, Chapter 315 has flown more than 640 kids at local airports in Monmouth, Lakewood, and Old Bridge. The annual event is free to participants. The pilots volunteer their time to take participants on a f light and teach them all they want to know about the air-
planes. The young aviation enthusiasts learned what makes an airplane fly, what it takes to get a pilot’s license, and what career possibilities exist in the world of aviation. They even got a chance to see a WWII L-2 spotter airplane, educational displays from the New Jersey Aviation Education Council, and more. After the f light, each participant received a logbook and a certificate making him or her an official Young Eagle. Their names will then be entered into the “World’s Largest Logbook,” which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. You can also find it online at youngeagles.org. For more information on EAA or the Young Eagles Program, visit eaa.org or youngeagles.org.

Around The Jersey Shore Enter the Pinelands Photo Contest, Win Over $2,500 In Cash Prizes
The Pinelands Preservation Alliance and a volunteer committee composed of professional and amateur photographers will host their annual juried photography exhibit focused on the Pinelands National Reserve. The exhibit will hang in PPA’s newly renovated barn at its headquarters in Southampton from November 10, 2019 to December 14, 2019. The deadline for submissions is September 15, 2019. An opening reception will be held November 9 from 2 to 4 p.m. This year we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Pinelands Protection Act, the landmark state legislation that established the framework for Pinelands protection that we know today. We also celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, established in July 1989 to protect the natural and historic resources of New Jersey’s Pinelands National Reserve. Black and white and color images taken within the boundaries of the National Reserve depicting its landscape, flora, wildlife, communities and people will be eligible for over $2,500 in cash awards. Photographers of all skill levels are welcome to apply – all submissions will be digitally displayed at the opening reception and at the exhibit. The deadline for submissions is September 15, 2019. Registration information is available at PinelandsPhotoExhibit.org. This year we place special emphasis on expanding student participation. Sight is our most powerful sense and images can appeal to emotion without any written word needed. In April, students and teachers from Shawnee, Cherokee, Lenape and Rancocas Valley Regional High Schools participated in a focus group meeting on the topics of photography, the Pinelands and participation in this year’s exhibit. In May, 20 students took a photography walk at the Black Run Preserve in Evesham led by award-winning photographer Richard Lewis. We are very excited to see how these
young people capture and memorialize their experiences, whether it is with a digital camera or a smart phone. Photographers are welcome to submit up to three images for $30 and $5 for each additional image up to a total of six total submissions. Student (18 years of age and under) entries are $10 for three images and $5 for each additional image up to a total of six. This year’s Exhibit Judge is Richard Lewis, photographer and educator. “My love for photography started in 1973 when I met my wife and her 35mm camera. Ever since then I’ve been involved with photography both as a fine art and professional photographer. My mother owned an art gallery in New Hope, Pennsylvania in the 1960’s and 70’s so my earliest exposure to art came from painters,” said Lewis. “My biggest influences are the great American landscape painters, especially the Hudson River School and Andrew Wyeth. As a result, I call my photographic style “Painting with a Camera” which involves equal amounts of time in both creating and editing photographs. While I love to photograph the American landscape, no place is more special to me than the New Jersey Pinelands. The unique beauty hidden in these pine trees and tea colored water is a treasure and a landscape that I especially love to explore, photograph and share.” Learn more about Lewis and view his work at richardlewisphotography.com. Important dates: Submission Deadline: September 15, 2019 Gallery exhibition: November 10, 2019 to December 14, 2019 Opening Reception: November 9, 2019 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. - Awards will be announced at the reception For more information or questions please contact: Steve Sebastian, 609-859-8860 ext. 124 or steve@pinelandsalliance.org.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 15 - june 21 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Beautify your surroundings in the upcoming week. You could have some great decorating ideas or use a creative touch to rearrange things in a more appealing and efficient manner. Whatever you envision you can achieve. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Food prepared with care is always better than instant. In the week to come you may expect instant gratification of some of your desires. You might appreciate whatever you get more though, if you take time to savor the process. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Words are like water and are often better when filtered. You could be so enthused about something or someone that you say whatever pops into your head. In the upcoming week it would be wise to be more mindful and discreet. CANCER (June 21-July 22): It may be difficult to put email or texts into context. You may need to adapt to a variety of responses to avoid misunderstandings. In the week ahead everyone might be a happy-go-lucky mood except for your partner who is focused on getting ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your goals and objectives can become supersized in the upcoming week. You may see unlimited opportunities in every encounter. At the same time, you will easily be able to compartmentalize your job and other responsibilities to keep it all in balance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might suffer from news fatigue. Take a break from depressing headlines and scandal-ridden newsfeeds in the week to come. Instead, fill your
mind with uplifting and inspiring material that deepens your inner peace. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the week ahead, a down-to-earth and highly specific approach works best to counteract sweeping statements and broad generalizations. A partner could be romantic but fickle, so enjoy but keep your eyes open for yellow or red flags. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Dig deep and use your visualization abilities to manifest financial success. It could be difficult to curtail expenditures because your attitude might be that bigger is better. Close companions could act in surprising ways. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As the week unfolds you may experience exhilaration or an epiphany. Even in the best of times, though, you still need to keep up with the maintenance and mundane tasks of daily life. Routine chores help keep you well-grounded. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Someone might not take you seriously in the week ahead. Your strategies and agendas may gain little traction and your attempts to exert control over a situation might fall flat for now. Be patient, all things in time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Overcome adversity by having faith in a positive outcome. You and a partner could frustrate one another in the upcoming week since one of you acts as the brakes and the other one has a foot on the gas pedal. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): This may be a good week to study chaos theory. Although there may be mix-ups and confusion somehow you will emerge into a better place. Your sensitivity and sympathetic concern for others can be overdone.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen
Dessert For Dad By Wolfgang Puck With four sons ranging in age from 12 1/2 to 30, I always look forward to Father’s Day. And even though I often enjoy preparing food at home for my boys and my wife Gelila, I’m happy to say that all of my offspring enjoy cooking themselves - especially my second son, Byron, who completed a culinary degree and has joined the restaurant world. So, chances are that on Father’s Day I’ll be reaping the benefits that so many dads enjoy: being treated to a meal that my kids cook. I hope if you’re a dad yourself, or are planning a special day for your father or husband, that cooking will figure into your family’s plans too. Often, and traditionally, there’s some sort of backyard barbecuing, a natural with grilling season just started. Of course, by default, Dad usually becomes the one who has to mastermind the Father’s Day cookout, since the outdoor grill is traditionally thought of as his responsibility. (Of course, there are also many women who love to grill!) But I’d like to suggest a different sort of cooking activity this year; one that doesn’t require building a fire or Dad getting smoke in his eyes. Instead, how about staying in the kitchen, preheating the oven and baking a pie? It’s hard to find a dad who doesn’t enjoy a slice of homemade pie, especially when it’s one featuring the best produce of the season. At this time of year, that usually means strawberries. Most of the strawberry pies you see, though, are of the fresh, cold variety: a prebaked pie shell filled with whole glazed berries and topped with whipped cream. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, except it’s called a pie primarily because a pastry shell is its serving vehicle. So instead, why not bake a pie that’s filled with bubbling hot berries? One reason you don’t see many strawberry pies with a baked filling is that the berries on their own break down quickly and reduce to something resembling strawberry jam. I prefer doing what my mother and grandmother did: combining the strawberries with chunks of rhubarb. Rhubarb is a reddish stalk resembling celery in shape, but it has a wonderfully tart taste. When sweetened with some sugar, the flavor harmonizes beautifully with the strawberries and gives the finished pie filling wonderful body. In fact, in years past, some cooks referred to rhubarb as “pie plant.” You can find fresh rhubarb in most well-stocked markets. (Just be sure to trim off all traces of the leaves, which contain toxic compounds.) May you enjoy this pie on Father’s Day with your family, as I hope to do with mine. Thank you, Cameron, Byron, Oliver and Alexander! RHUBARB-STRAWBERRY PIE Make 2 pies 1 recipe Pie Dough (recipe follows), or 2 rounds frozen ready-to-use pie dough BROWN SUGAR CRUMBLE WITH OATS AND ALMONDS: 1 pound (500 g) unsalted butter, cut into even cubes and chilled 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) whole-wheat flour 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour 1 1/4 cups (310 mL) packed dark brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) old-fashioned rolled oats 1 cup (250 mL) sliced almonds RHUBARB-STRAWBERRY PIE FILLING: 6 cups (1.5 L) washed, trimmed, and chopped rhubarb stalks, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces 2 cups (500 mL) strawberries, stemmed, left whole if small, halved or quartered if large
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) granulated sugar 5 tablespoons plus L teaspoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Grated zest of 1/2 lemon Juice of 1/2 lemon Prepare the pie dough in advance. When ready to make the pies, preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Meanwhile, on a lightly floured work surface, roll out the two discs of dough to circles large enough to fill the bottom and sides and slightly overlap the rim of two 9-inch (22.5-cm) deep-dish pie plates. Loosely roll up each circle around the rolling pin and then drape and unroll it over a pie plate; gently press into each plate and trim even with the rim. Flute the edges with your thumb and forefinger. Place foil, parchment paper, or paper coffee filters over the raw dough and fill with pie weights, uncooked rice or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes; then, carefully lift out the paper and weights and bake until light golden, about 10 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and leave the oven on. While the shells are baking, make the crumble. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the flours, brown sugar, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Mix on medium speed. Add the chilled butter, and continue mixing until it forms crumbs. Add the oats and almonds, and continue until the mixture looks like granola. Spread the mixture on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool. For the filling, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Add the rhubarb, berries, salt, lemon zest and juice, and stir until evenly coated. Transfer to 1 or 2 large nonreactive skillets and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit begins giving up its juices. Raise the heat to medium-high and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches a boil and the liquid starts thickening. Remove from the heat and ladle directly into the prebaked pie shells. Do not overfill. Cool and refrigerate any extra filling to serve as a cold compote. Sprinkle the crumble over the pies, place on a baking sheet, and transfer to the oven. Bake until the crumble and the edges of the pastry are deep golden brown and the filling is thick and bubbling, about 45 minutes. If the rim appears to be browning too quickly, cover carefully with pie shields or strips of heavy-duty aluminum foil. When the pies are done, remove from the oven to wire racks. Serve warm or at room temperature, with vanilla ice cream or lightly whipped creme fraiche. PIE DOUGH Makes enough for 2 single-crust 9-inch (22.5-cm) pies 4 1/2 cups (1.125 kg) all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 pound (500 g) unsalted butter, cut into even cubes and chilled 1/2 cup (125 mL) plus 2 tablespoons ice-cold water 1 teaspoon Champagne vinegar In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Set aside. Put all the dry ingredients into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Pulse to combine. Add the butter, and pulse until the mixture is broken up to the size of peas. Mix the water and vinegar together, and add the mixture through the feed tube of the food processor. Immediately begin pulsing on and off until the mixture that forms begins to climb the side of the bowl. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and continue kneading gently by hand until a smooth dough forms. Cut the dough in half, pat it into two even discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
