By Carley Doktorski BERKELEY – Board of Education members are hoping the implementation of block scheduling at Central Regional Middle and High School this September will mean less hectic school days for students and staff alike. The goal of block scheduling is not only to make learning more enjoyable, but increase a student’s desire to succeed, said Susan Cowdrick, Island Heights representative for the Central Regional Board of Education. Both schools will adopt an A/B, or four-by-four, schedule for the 2019-20 school year, she explained. On each “A” day, students will attend the same four classes. On “B” days, students will go to four different classes. So, for example, every “A” day, a student might go to their history, science, art, and English language arts class. On every “B” day, that student would then have their math, music, foreign language, and

Parking Issues In South Seaside Park
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The small section of South Seaside Park, just north of Island Beach State Park, swells with summertime visitors. This leads to parking issues for residents. There are more cars using on-street
parking, and that will sometimes squeeze out the residents’ vehicles. “Parking in South Seaside Park is a disaster,” Councilman James Byrnes said at a recent Township –Photo by Chris Lundy Council meeting. G i v i n g a n Some of the properties in South Seaside Park have (Park - See Page 4) stone-covered yards where parking becomes cluttered.

Park:
Continued From Page 1 example, he talked about an 80-foot lot, where the entire front yard is stone. There is no designated driveway. So how do people determine where to park? Some residents are even putting up their own ‘no parking’ signs. Township engineer Ernie Peters said a lot of those properties are grandfathered in.
They couldn’t be built that way today. There could be a way to make them conform to the current law if they have work done or if the property changes hands. Business Administrator John Camera said the town hall fields calls complaining about the parking as well. He suggested painting parking spots on the street and enforcing drivers to park in those spots. These painted parking spots would give the properties with stone front yards a desig-
nated driveway. Another plus to this plan would be that it would provide more parking, he said. When people make their own parking spots, they leave a lot of room between their vehicle and the next. With painted spots, people would park in a correctly-sized parking space and more cars would be able to fit in any given spot. One resident brought up that some of the streets are more narrow than normal streets,

so that causes a problem as well. Gary Holsten, of South Seaside Park, said that the 80-foot frontage is not as common as 40-50 feet, or even 25 feet for a duplex. There are public parking spots on Central Avenue but people don’t want to walk. Byrnes reiterated a refrain that he wants the state to turn over a piece of property it owns over there for a parking lot. A Berkeley Shores resident, Bill McGrath, suggested putting in curbs, but Councilman Keith Buscio said that curbs would cause the people who have multiple cars on stone to lose spots.

Continued From Page 1 gym class. Students will alternate between their “A” and “B” classes daily. If they have their “A” classes on a Monday, they would go to their “B” classes that Tuesday. This way, if there are three “A” days one week, there will be three “B” days the next. At the end of the semester, it is then up to the Board to assess how snow days and holidays have affected the schedule. Re-

gardless of the A/B schedule, students do need a certain amount of hours to get credit for a class. While the Berkeley Township Elementary School students have not converted to block scheduling, Cowdrick agreed that having the middle school on an A/B schedule this year will benefit elementary schoolers transitioning to Central. “It’s good they’re coming into the middle school with it… it’s an adjustment,” Cowdrick said. While the middle school integrated
blocked ELA and math periods last year, block scheduling at the high school will be an entirely new addition. Both schools will now have every period blocked, she said. The Board is also hoping the double periods will allow for more flexibility in the classroom. Students will ideally have time for group work and reinforcement in addition to lectures in every class. The idea is to have more time each class for a variety of activities. This new approach to classroom learning may also lead to noticeable increases in standardized test
scores. “[Kids] learn from each other,” Cowdrick said regarding the benefits of longer periods. “Classrooms have to have movement.” Both the middle and high school will have flags and posters hanging in the halls to indicate an “A” versus a “B” day so that students don’t get confused. The school colors will likely be used to differentiate the days. Maroon flags will coordinate with one of the days, and gold ones will coordinate with the other.
last year as well. “We had 13 boys on the team this year, so it was a little tough, trying to figure it out, with only nine positions on the field,” Kim Farruggia, one of the Marlins’ coaches, said. “But they were a great team to work with.” The Marlins were also coached by Pat Williams, Dereck Rizzo, and Mike Bianco. The Cubs are part of the fairly new AAA
division for players ages 9-12, coaches said. It was the League’s first full season with the AAA level after noticing a major decline in boys wanting to move to the Intermediate division. With 46 x 60 field dimensions, players can continue to play in a competitive division on a smaller field. The Cubs became the first AAA championship winners this season. Berkeley Little League is a non-profit,
volunteer-based youth baseball program chartered with Little League International, according to its website. With nearly 400 players, coaches and sponsors are dedicated to providing a space for every child to learn and play baseball in Berkeley Township and Ocean Gate.

Ocean Mental Health Services Helps The Homeless
OCEAN COUNTY – Recently OceanMHS was given the opportunity to talk a bit about their PATH Program. Homelessness is a serious issue in the U.S. Depression, untreated mental illness, and post-traumatic stress disorder, are
major causes of homelessness. With PATH services, OceanMHS’s staff can reach out to people who are homeless and have a mental illness. They then help them to link to resources within the community, mental health
treatment and adequate housing. They teach people how to register for all of these services, so that even when their involvement with PATH services comes to an end, they have learned how to access the resources and programs
they may need to prevent future homelessness and continue to improve their quality of life. For more information about OceanMHS, or how to volunteer, call 732-3495550 or visit OceanMHS.org.

Legislators Applaud Anti-Corruption Law CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
TRENTON – Senator Christopher Connors, Assemblyman Brian Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove praised the recent signing of legislation (A-3766) expanding the scope of state anti-corruption laws.
Any person who holds or has held any public office, position, or employment will forfeit their pension or retirement benefit if convicted of sexual contact, lewdness, or sexual assault when the offense is related directly to
the person’s performance in, or circumstances flowing from, the specific public office or employment held by the person. The law, authored by Assemblyman John Armato (D-2), would also require pension forfeiture if the person is convicted of the crime of corruption of public resources in the first degree. “Unquestionably, the new law upgraded existing state anti-corruption laws to include more criminal acts unbefitting a public office or position.

“The state’s anti-corruption law had already included a host of crimes including, not limited to, criminal coercion, theft by deception, commercial bribery, money laundering, improper influence and official misconduct.
President & Publisher Stewart Swann
“Individuals who commit acts of sexual assault, sexual contact or lewdness have absolutely no place in public service and, certainly, should not be entitled to a public pension on account of the seriousness of their crimes.
and I started this 7 years ago. It allows the public to interact with our public safety agencies. Our award winning DARE Program will also be on hand with games and prizes for the children to enjoy. After National Night Out, the group performing at 7:30 p.m. is The Infernos Band, America’s #1 Show Band and the area’s premier live performance group singing four decades of music. I encourage the entire family to come on out for a great evening of interaction and entertainment and don’t forget to bring a chair! Refreshments are always provided by our local non-profit groups and organizations that use these concerts as their fundraisers. We hope to see you everyone on August 28th.
“With effective enforcement, this strengthening of the state’s anti-corruption laws should serve as a strong deterrent in addition to holding accountable those found guilty of betraying the public trust.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Giant Leap Awaits Next Step In Space Exploration It was with great fanfare and acclai m that Americans recently celebr at ed t he 50 t h A nniversary of the Moon Landing. In1969, it was easy to rally around the dream of putting a man on the Moon when it was part of an intense scientific and innovative race against the Russians, but as the Space Race wound down, so too did widespread interest. The United States went to the moon not because the public demanded it, but because presidents and Congress believed it served a greater political purpose during the Cold War. Un fo r t u n a t el y, t h e public’s enthusiasm and support was short-lived after Apollo 11. The program did not receive the same enthusiastic public and political suppor t. T he levels of fe de r al spending which NASA had received had become u ntenable to a public which had become f inancially wary and disillusioned. The final three missions, Apollos 18,19, and 20, with hardware already built, and crews selected, were abruptly cancelled. Currently, there is a renewed interest in returning to the moon and
beyond, mainly due to the national pride experienced 50 years ago and now revitalized. We must thank Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins, and Buzz A ld r i n for re m i nd i ng us of the importance of science and technology to our civilization. The reasons for visiting the moon and potentially, other planets and bodies in our solar system, are numerous. They would be the greatest scientific endeavors of our exist e nce, al low i ng u s t o further understand the creation of our planet and solar system. Returning to the moon a nd beyond w ill u lt imately help us process and address another issue of great concern: the health of our big blue marble, planet Earth. It is my hope that the current enthusiasm and interest in the space program will not be shortlived once again, but the start of a new space race to the Moon and beyond. As Isaac Newton wrote in the 17th century, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Mike Collins, Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong are those giants. Bruce Miller Jackson

Barnegat’s Democracy In Jeopardy Democracy is in jeopardy here in Barnegat. Two instances occurred causing great concern on the health of our democracy and the willingness of people to have an open mind. First: Our elected representative for CD3, Congressman Andy Kim, was scheduled to speak on Aug. 29 at Mirage, as approved by their Board of Trustees. His agenda was to talk about his activities in Washington and to listen to residents’ comments and concerns. The Mirage Board rescinded their invitation because they received several threatening emails and calls from residents who were outraged, demanding that Rep. Kim not be allowed to speak. The cancellation of this event is disgraceful and those residents should be ashamed of themselves. Congressman Kim is our duly elected representative who is trying to make himself accessible to his constituents, which is the exact opposite of what his predecessor did. Second: On Aug. 6 at the Barnegat Township Committee meeting, Mayor Al Cirulli “preached” a 20-plus minute “sermon” opposing new legislation for middle/ high school curriculums to include instruction on the political/economic/social contributions of people with disabilities and the LGBTQ community. One would have thought we were in church having “fire and brimstone” thrown at us. Cirulli said this law was “…an affront to Almighty God.” At that meeting I reminded him that in this country we have a separation of church and state. The mayor frequently violates that requirement and invokes the name of Jesus Christ in many of his speeches. He is the mayor representing a governmental body and religion has no place in our government. In fact, he has refused to officiate over gay marriages.
Letters To The Editor Officiating at marriages is back any longer by regres- night the 26th, and the two a mayoral function, and if he refuses to perform that function, he should resign. In fact, I would call for his resignation now in view of his complete intolerance of the LGBTQ community. Marianne P. Clemente Barnegat
Why I’m Running For Assembly I’m Wayne Lewis, and I’m running for the General Assembly in New Jersey’s 9th Legislative District. I never thought I’d ever run for a seat in the Legislature, but the social, economic, and ecological crisis facing our state, and planet will not wait. That is why I chose to run. I graduated from Temple University with a bachelor’s in biochemistry/biophysics and went on to earn two graduate degrees from Penn State. I worked as an adjunct professor at Penn State before I fell in love with South Jersey. Since 2008, My wife Diane and I have raised our family in Galloway. For the last 15 years, I have made my living playing poker, an unorthodox background perhaps, but I have long earned a comfortable income making risk/reward decisions. As a professional, I can tell you this, anything less than drastic urgent systemic action on the crises we face is a very bad bet. I’m running one of the most progressive campaigns in the history of New Jersey - a campaign built on a fundamental message: compassion. Compassion for the poor - including those working two...even three jobs - yet forced to choose which meal to skip. Compassion for the sick, the homeless, the marginalized, and the structurally disadvantaged. Compassion for our children - who will live the worst effects of climate change. New Jersey won’t be held
sive politics and special interests. I will advocate for the right to a clean, healthy environment and quality education for our youth. I will fight to make affordable housing a right - and to end the mass exodus from New Jersey. I will push to end the failed war on drugs. To those looking for compassionate, intelligent leadership in Trenton - you deserve better. We deserve better. Our campaign isn’t about parties, it’s about people and what we hold most dear. It’s about providing an equal opportunity to live a life you find meaningful, preservation of nature in all her glorious complexity, and the rights of our great-grandchildren to enjoy these same values. Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or independent, I think we can all agree on what’s really important: resilient local communities, vibrant local economies, and a healthy planet our children can thrive on. We cannot do it alone. To be able to institute radical change in New Jersey will require equally radical participation, collective action undertaken from our campaign all the way through to decision-making throughout the legislative process. I’m asking you, personally, to come out to one of our many campaign events, hear the consistency in my message, and understand that I am not just another bought politician. I will always advocate for the ordinary people who bear the brunt of mismanagement in Trenton. Join us! Wayne Lewis Galloway Township
Manchester Cops To Be Commended From what I can see, Manchester is blessed with a terrific police force! We had to call upon them on Friday
policemen were courteous, helpful and totally above board and professional in every sense of the word. If these two fine men were representative of the entire force (and I believe they are), I cannot imagine any other town or city in New Jersey being more blessed than we are. Police don’t get enough credit for the good they do these days, in some quarters they are even despised, sadly. But in Manchester Township, New Jersey we have an awful lot to appreciate! A sincere thank you to the officers who were so helpful. Chet Jelinski Manchester
Police Have Bigger Problems To Worry About Can I ask a favor of our municipalities (including the town of Lavallette) going forward, can we stop using the term “civil servant” especially when discussing our boys (and girls) in blue? As blatantly mercenary as police work has seemingly become over the last 20 years or so, I think that most of us understand the cops themselves are typically just following orders and most would still do anything they can including putting themselves in “harm’s way” to help a stranger. Most of us also know that it’s our greedy municipal leaders who come up with ways of treating their citizens like ATMs to gather revenue for their respective municipalities via dubious violations, often times through some form of entrapment which has the opposite effect of making us feel safer. It goes beyond mercenary however, into the “mean & heartless” category when two Lavallette police officers have the gall to drive a truck onto a beach on a sunny summer Saturday (Letters - See Page 15)

Hugh Claus Memorial Run
BERKELEY – The Hugh Claus Memorial Run will be held on Sept. 22, 9 a.m.-12 p.m., at the South Seaside Park Basketball Courts on 24th Street. Cost: 5K Run $25; 5K Walk $15; 1 Mile Fun Run $15. Register at chipmiller.org under events. Same day registration starts at 7 a.m. with price increase. Awards given to the top finishers and children under 12. All 5K runners and walkers can join the after party at Bum Rogers in Seaside Park. Hugh Claus, an Army vet and longtime resident of Beachwood, lost his life to a rare disease called Amyloidosis in 2013. His daughter organized this 5K Run to raise money for Amyloidosis.All proceeds to benefit the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation. Each year 3000 cases of Amyloidosis are diagnosed in the United States. Amyloidosis
is generally a disease of middle-aged people and older, although the disease has been seen in individuals in their thirties. Men are more likely to be affected than women by a ratio of about 1.5:1. With early diagnosis, the outlook for patients with Amyloidosis has shifted to hopeful in the last decade. The early diagnosis allows treatment to begin before the amyloid protein build-up in the body becomes too great to overcome. Without treatment, the outlook for patients with AL Amyloidosis is not good, many passing away within 18 to 24 months after diagnosis. Early diagnosis is the key to managing the disease. Funds raised at events like this help researchers in their development of new ways to diagnose and treat this dreaded disease. Any and all types of vendors wanted.

School Supply Drive
BERKELEY – Our Eighth Annual Mayor’s School Supply Drive is underway! Berkeley Township is a very supportive and giving community. We had a record amount of school supplies donated last year. Sadly, some students still go to school on the first day without basic supplies. That’s where our school supply drive comes in. School supplies that are needed: Pens, Markers, Regular and Colored Pencils, Crayons, Rulers, Safety Scissors, Glue Sticks, Paper, Folders & Backpacks. All supplies collected go directly to Berkeley Township Elementary School Children in need. The need gets greater and greater each year. Councilman Angelo Guadagno, who is also an educator, said, “I have seen first-hand when
these supplies are given to our school children. You can see the excitement and appreciation. Please consider making a donation - big or small.” Those interested in donating supplies can drop them at the Mayor’s Office in Berkeley Town Hall, the Township’s Recreation Building on Route 9 in Bayville, the 23rd Ave Lifeguard station in South Seaside Park or at the recreation booth at the Sounds of Summer Concert series. We still have plenty of summer left, but it’s never too early to start collecting school supplies. On behalf of the children of our township, I thank each and every one who has donated and supported the Mayors drive in the past, and I hope you consider donating again!

THROUGH CHILDREN’S EYES
It is crucial for preschoolers to have their eyes examined so certain developmental disorders do not go undiagnosed and untreated. Common problems uncovered during a comprehensive exam are “strabismus” (crossed eyes), in which one or both eyes are unable to align properly, and “amblyopia” (lazy eye), in which one eye fails to process sensory input correctly. These conditions affect two to four percent of children and can usually be corrected if treated early enough. Treatment for amblyopia relies on covering the strong eye with a patch to force the use of the weaker eye and therefore strengthen it. Strabismus remedies include eyeglasses, eye drops, eye patches, and eye exercises in less-than-severe cases. If your child has an eye problem, is having difficulty with a vision screening exam or has difficulty reading or learning, or needs surgery or medical treatment for an illness affecting the eyes, an ophthalmologist has the experience and qualifications to treat your child. One of the reasons so many people trust SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES with their eye care needs is that we make a concerted effort to provide our patients with convenient options. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call 732-349-5622.

By Chris Lundy LAVALLETTE – When writing an obituary, staff at the Timothy E. Ryan Home For Funerals would talk to family members about their loved one. It can be hard to sum up a life like that. It’s even harder when it hits so close to home. Timothy E. Ryan passed away at the age of 68, surrounded by his loving family. What do you include when telling readers about his life? There are the professional designations and honors from his career as a funeral director. The civic groups. The political history. The faith and heritage groups. Those are the facts of his life, but those facts only tell a fraction of who he really was. “He was the best person,” his daughter Erin Ryan said. “He was the funniest guy. He would hold court and he would just tell story after story after story.” He was genuine, and went above and beyond for other people. “He treated every family like they were his own. He was just an amazing man.” Looking at all of his accomplishments, it’s clear to see that he left big shoes to fi ll. She promised that she would uphold his legacy, making it bigger and better, and make him proud. Born in Orange, New Jersey, he had been splitting his time between Lavallette and Siesta Key, Florida. In his youth, he served an internship with his Uncle Jack at the John J. Ryan Home for Funerals in Keansburg. He became manager of the Colonial Funeral Home in Lavallette. Eventually, he purchased that business and spread out to six locations in the county. In addition to his education regarding his chosen industry, he also attended St. Joseph Seminary for Franciscan Friars, O.F.M Pulaski, Wisconsin. Ultimately, his obituary had an impressive list of organizations where he was either a member or held a leadership position. They were all groups dedicated to making peoples’ lives better. Despite having all this on his plate, he always made time for his family, his daughter said. That came fi rst. He and had been battling leukemia for 11
–Photo courtesy Ryan family years. When he passed away, condolences came from all directions, since he touched a lot of lives. Some people came to know him from politics. He had been a councilman in Seaside Park, and he was a candidate for U.S Congress in the Third Congressional District of New Jersey and for an Ocean County Freeholder. Ben Giovine, who is involved in local politics, spoke instead about how Ryan influenced his faith. “Tim and I developed a friendship through his dedication to the Roman Catholic Church,” he said. “Several years ago, I had made the decision to convert to Catholicism at St. Barnabas. During this time, Tim was a constant source of support and guidance. He had an infectious sense of humor and grit but if you wanted to discuss deeper topics about faith or the church - there was no one better than Tim.” Robyn Paciulli-Griffith’s fi rst impression of him was when a young friend had been killed by a drunk driver. Ryan had grief counselors at the viewing to talk to people. “When my father passed away two years ago, that’s where I went. He was one of the good ones, taken way too early.” Later, when she ran for council in Beachwood, she came to learn how his sense of humor lit up a room. “When Timmy was there, everybody was smiling,” she said. After his passing, people spoke of the (Remembers - See Page 15)

Or even the way he filled up the front lawn of his funeral home with little American flags on patriotic holidays. But ultimately, he got the last word. When looking through his papers to write his obituary, Erin found a note from him: “I feel sorry for the poor son of a bitch that has to write this obituary, keep your
smile on your face.” Surviving is his beloved wife Denise (Putlock) Ryan; his loving daughter Erin C. Ryan of Seaside Park, NJ; his sisters Mary E. Ryan of Seaside Park, NJ and Alice M.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Hearing Health Is About Relationships After you get glasses, you keep going to the eye doctor — annual checkups ensure the glasses still fit your needs. Same with dental work — you’re not done with the dentist once a cavity is filled. And so it is with hearing care: Your relationship with us ensures your devices always meet the needs of your listening lifestyle. BEYOND Doing It Yourself…... No matter how well you clean and maintain your devices, wax and debris build up inside the casing, and tiny components wear out. When you come in for your clean and checks, your devices get a deep clean and any worn-out components such as domes and tubing get replaced, so you never miss a moment of what’s most important. NEW SETTINGS The birth of a child, a new job, or a new hobby can affect whether your current settings match your hearing needs. Annual evaluations, or even clean and checks, are a great time to let us know about any changes in your
listening environments, so we can adjust your settings if necessary. HEARING HELP You might continue to lose hearing over time because of aging or other factors. At your annual hearing checkup, your device settings are adjusted to reflect any changes in your hearing needs. TECH TRANSITIONS If your listening lifestyle changes enough, you might need to upgrade your technology. Through the relationship you’ve cultivated with us, we’re in a unique position to match the latest updates in hearing technology to your updated listening lifestyle. Has it been a while since we last saw you? Come on in! We’ll chat, clean your devices, and check how well you’re hearing. Call today to schedule your appointment at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin). Please visit us at www.Gardenstatehearing.com.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
3 Tips To Survive On Hydrocodone And Other Opioids By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Vicodin and Lortab are two brand names of one of the most popular drugs in the entire world! Generically, it is called “hydrocodone with apap” where the “apap” is an abbreviation for acetaminophen (aka Tylenol). When I worked in a busy retail pharmacy in Florida, this medication was on the fast mover shelf because it was dispensed by by the thousands each day. Hydrocodone/apap is a prescription analgesic and in the category of “opioids” which you’ve been hearing a lot about lately. Opioids are man-made drugs intended to look similar to the naturally-produced opiates made in your body. The opioid drug binds to the receptor on your cell’s outer membrane, and unlocks a variety of feel-good, numbing compounds which relax your body, increase pleasurable feelings and suppress pain signals. If you require this medication there are 3 important tips you should know about: 1. Never stop suddenly. If you’ve been supported on this medication for more than 2 weeks, do not stop suddenly. It has to be weaned. Your body has already grown tolerant to the medication and stopping suddenly could produce dangerous withdrawal effects. Step down your dose due to the downregulation of receptors that normally process important neurotransmitters such as serotonin, acetylcholine, glutamate, GABA and dopamine. 2. Reduce side effects. Hydrocodone/apap (Vicodin) is known to cause constipation as its number one side effect. You can and should anticipate it and take a stool softener like docusate. I recommend plenty of water each day, and
a diet that is rich in fiber, fruits like prunes and even oatmeal. This may not help, and in that case, an over-the-counter laxative like Miralax (polyethylene glycol 3350) or a fiber supplement like Metamucil could help. For those of you who have been on this medication or a similar one such as Oxycodone/apap (Percocet) or Oxycontin for a long time, I would like to enlighten you that constipation is the least of your worries! There is a condition termed “Narcotic Bowel Syndrome” or NBS. This condition causes gastrointestinal hypersensitivity. It’s terribly under-recognized! It’s never-ending and you will wind up getting CT scans, abdominal X-rays, MRIs, MRCPs, Ultrasounds, endoscopes down your throat, colonoscopies up through the bottom… and on and on! NBS is characterized by the progressive and somewhat paradoxical increase in abdominal pain despite continued or escalating dosages of narcotics prescribed in an effort to relieve the pain. I have more on this if you sign up for my newsletter at my website. 3. Never Drink Alcohol or Take Sleepers. Opioids are CNS depressant agents which slow everything down, including respiration.Alcohol does that too, so does Benadryl, and a host of benzodiazepine drugs. You should never combine two or more CNS depressants because it could slow your breathing down, or STOP IT completely! This is how unintended deaths occur. By the same token, herbal sedatives are also CNS depressants, so do not combine your opioid medication with magnolia bark, skullcap, lavender, California poppy, lemon balm, valerian root and others.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Title Insurance: Why Every Purchaser Needs It
DIRTY WINDOWS? DIRTY SIDING?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Dina M. Vicari, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, III Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Many people ask their attorneys, “what is a title search and why do I need title insurance?” Next to having the appropriate funding to purchase your new home, ensuring that the home you intend to purchase has clean or clear title is essential. All mortgage companies require clear title. It is important to ensure that you have title insurance in the event a title issue arises after you have purchased the home. Title searchers review old deeds, mortgages and wills at the County Clerk’s office to trace the ownership history of the property. They look for any current or past mortgages, liens or judgments on the property that have not been discharged as well as whether there are any tax liens or unpaid municipal utility bills. The title searchers will also examine the chain of title to confirm that the seller’s ownership rights have not been affected and that the sellers are, in fact, selling you a home without any adverse possessory or equitable interests such as pending litigation or easements. These examples are endless, but the title company performing the search has the expertise to find all relevant concerns prior to the purchase. Once the title company completes its search it will issue an insurance policy after closing which will insure you and your lender should anyone at any time in the future come knocking on your door claiming an ownership or possessory interest in your property. Should this occur, the title company will step- in and provide you with a legal defense and assume the costs of any litigation. This coverage is similar to automobile insurance after you have become involved in an automobile collision. After an automobile collision, your automobile insurer will provide you with legal assistance and take corrective measures in the event you are sued Fortunately,
unlike automobile insurance where you pay Dina M. Vicari Esq. your premium annually, monthly or quarterly, your title insurance premium is paid only once at the time of closing and this one time premium will provide insurance coverage for as long as you own the home. It is also important to note that if you have a mortgage you need to obtain both a Lender’s and Owner’s policy. The Lender’s policy covers the mount of the mortgage that is due at the time any claim is made. An Owner’s policy covers your ownership interest, which is a relatively inexpensive addition to the policy premium. In New Jersey, title insurance is usually paid by the buyer. After closing the buyer’s attorney may need to perform additional legal tasks to complete the conditions of the title policy such as filing additional deeds and discharge of mortgages. The purchaser will receive the final title policy in the mail approximately 6-8 weeks after closing. While all of this may be overwhelming, 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 Wills and Trusts, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate, Medicaid, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning, Powers of Attorney and much more.

Senior:
Continued From Page 1 agencies inside and outside of the department’s 175 Sunset Ave. headquarters. “This is our first event of this type for seniors in Ocean County and its focus is on bringing information about chronic disease, bringing awareness of our services to older residents and having many onsite agencies that will be presenting information to them,” Health Department representative Patricia High said. Anne Brokin of Manchester was enjoying watching “Pixie,” a tiny gray kitten who was among several cats being showcased for adoption at the Ocean County Animal Facilities booth that was strategically placed near the front of the building as entrants came into the fair. “I’m a nurse and I like to pick up information on new medications and I wanted to also pick up some information for my nephew about the animal shelter,” Brokin said. She was among the early arrivals at the event. “We have two facilities, one in Jackson and another in Manahawkin,” said Sean Fitzgerald, a supervisor at Ocean County Animal Facilities. “We currently have 29 cats and five dogs up for adoption and we are here to bring awareness of what we do at our shelters. We are also here to promote our half price adoption day at both our facilities,” Fitzgerald added. “Lots of people are coming by our table already,” Assistant Manager Jackie Strawder said. Ocean County Animal Facilities offers free rabies clinics by appointment on Wednesdays from 11-11:30 a.m. at both its locations. The Jackson facility can be reached at 732-657-8096 while the Manahawkin location can be reached by calling 609-978-0127. “Many seniors benefit from the companionship of pets,” High said. Jessica Nylen, who works as a health education representative for the county Health Department said that while this
–Photo by Bob Vosseller Crowds gather outside 175 Sunset Ave. Toms River, the headquarters for the Ocean County Health Department during a recent health fair aimed at older residents. was the first health fair aimed at senior citizens, the department also offers a Latino Health Fair each September and a health fair for minorities in April. Both are held at the same location. “We worked together as a team to put this on and we are very excited about the turnout. I know we will be doing this again in the future,” Field Representative Lauren Petraglia said. Fel low Field Re pr e se nt at ive Kel ly Larney said that the event which was held from 9 a.m. to noon had “75 to 100 people so far,” and that was before 9:30 a.m. Peter Curatolo, chief of administrative services of the Ocean County Health Department could not have been more pleased with the event’s turnout or the variety of vendors/agencies who came out to make it a success. “We have state offices represented here today. We also have information about diabetes, health care, cholesterol and blood pressure screenings. We have
buses pulling up with residents from all across the county. We are very eager to do this again next year,” Curatolo said. Curatolo said his depar tment recog n i z e s t h e d ive r s e n e s s of O c e a n County. “We want everyone from our 600,000-member community here in Ocean County to feel at home, to have a medical home, and that they have a sympathetic ear and to know that there is someone here to answer their questions about health.” Jackson resident Karen Boyd learned about the event from reading The Jackson Times and was enjoying the event. “I’m waiting to have a free hearing test done. I picked up a lot of information and they had refreshments.” Doug Steffy of Barnegat said, “many times you come to things like this and you learn about so many new medicines and how you can adopt a better healthier lifestyle.” Abby Thompson, a Youth Prevention Ma nager for t he DA RT P revent ion
Coalition which par t ners with RWJ Barnabas Health, was promoting what her agency does. DART is comprised of community leaders including law enforcement and government officials, educators, business owners, treatment providers, clergy and youth to focus on preventing underage drinking, prescription drug misuse, and illegal use of marijuana and tobacco. Her message to seniors at the event was to bring awareness of prescription drug disposal methods for medicines that had expired. “We want seniors to be aware of the safe methods to dispose of their medicines to make sure they don’t end up in the hands of others who may misuse them,” Thompson said. Health Depar t ment representative Claudia Ganopoulos provided attendees with information about Medicare and various senior care issues. For information call 732-929-2091. “We help with everything that touches seniors’ health,” Ganopoulos said.

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – When you live by the water, it is not always beach days and sunshine. Coastal communities such as the Jersey Shore are also at a higher risk for flooding. Ocean County officials say that flood insurance is key to protecting yourself when living in a coastal community. “Flood insurance and mitigation funding from the National Flood Insurance Program was critical to rebuilding Ocean County and other areas of the state affected by Superstorm Sandy which unleashed unprecedented devastation when the storm hit in October of 2012,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, liaison to the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs. “And while we know the importance of flood insurance, we also know that it has to be affordable for our homeowners. On August 7, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders passed a resolution calling on federal leaders to extend the National Flood Insurance Program and provide affordable rates and sensible coverage to property owners. The NFIP is due to expire September 30. Congress has introduced two distinct reauthorization bills that would reauthorize it through Sept. 30, 2024 - HR 3167 sponsored by Rep. Maxine Waters and S 2187 sponsored by Sen. Bob Menendez with a companion bill HR 3872, sponsored by Rep. Frank Pallone. “Changes being considered to the national flood insurance program could increase rates substantially leaving homeowners without proper coverage or struggling to pay the bill,” Vicari said. “We want our
federal leaders to take a closer look at this legislation so that it doesn’t harm our citizens or the citizens across the U.S. who need to have flood insurance.” According to George Kasimo, an advocate with Stop FEMA Now, the Freeholders are not the first to call for change. Many other municipalities are also asking for affordable flood insurance. “The Freeholders are working for property owners in making sure flood insurance is affordable,” he said. “Under a proposed provision in the Flood Insurance Program, rates could rise 18 to 25 percent. This will have a negative effect on property values and will also affect our taxes.” Companion bills S 2187/HR 3872 propose capping annual rate increases to 9 percent. Kasimo noted there are 53,000 flood insurance policies issued to Ocean County property owners insuring $19 billion in property. In March, the Federal Emergency Management Administration, (FEMA) announced a redesigned risk system, Risk Rating 2.0, which the administration states will better ref lect a property’s unique flood risk. “This new rating has the potential to significantly impact homeowners in Ocean County,” Vicari said. “The new rating is also expected to increase the number of properties requiring flood insurance as they expand beyond the current regulated Special Flood Hazard Areas. “It’s important our Congressional representatives hear our concerns and address the issue so flood insurance is affordable and any changes to the program do not have a negative impact on property owners.”

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Officials: Teen Suicide A Big Issue In Ocean County
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – While it may be hard to hear, it is important to be aware of: suicide has become the third leading cause of death among children and young adults aged 10-24. While vape pens and underage drinking are the usual cause for concern, parents and guardians should also keep a close eye on teenagers for other risk factors. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), 14 young people between the ages of 10 and 24 committed suicide from 2013 to 2015 in Ocean County. During the same two year period, there was a whopping 283 cases for the entire state. “Sadly, society is putting more and more pressure on our young people today. Peer pressure, bullying, social media, drugs and alcohol are just some of the social challenges young people are trying to navigate,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little. According to the same AFSP study, from 2013 to 2015, Ocean County had 1 of the 3 highest rates in the state for suicide attempts and self-inf licted injuries among 10 to 24 year olds. “It’s become another public health issue with too many sad endings,” said Daniel E. Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator. “However, research has shown suicide deaths can be preventable. The key is promoting the work of suicide prevention and mental health awareness.
Increased collaboration with state, local and community partners is essential for success.” Prevention efforts begin with educating pediatricians, primary health care providers, school personnel and families on how to recognize the warning signs of suicide and what action to take when intent is disclosed. “Help is available. Young people need to be encouraged to speak with a trusted adult or call a suicide prevention hotline if they feel overwhelmed, depressed or are having suicidal thoughts, said Kimberly Reilly, OCHD Chief of Administrative Services. “Parents that are concerned their child may be suffering from depression or suicidal tendencies need to act quick - do not wait, seek professional help right away.” Symptoms of depression or suicidal tendencies may be hard to detect. Officials note that challenges like divorce, remarriage, relationship problems and social media can be major factors. “Earlier detection means earlier treatment,” Regenye added. “That’s why it is so important for parents, loved ones and educators to keep an eye out for the signs of depression or any other mental health concerns.” For more information, or for links to suicide prevention websites and hotlines, visit the OCHD website at ochd.org or follow us on Twitter@OCpublichealth or Facebook.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Back To School: Drive Safe, Buy Local
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – It’s a parent’s favorite time of year: back to school for the kids. But Ocean County officials are reminding drivers and parents to keep their heads on straight while school buses make their way back onto local roadways. It is important to remember that drivers must stop for a school bus with its red lights flashing. “Yet year after year we still get reports of near tragedies when drivers pass a stopped school bus,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari. “I’ve seen it myself. It has to stop.” As the first day of school approaches, officials are urging caution. “It only takes a moment for tragedy to strike,” Vicari said. “Whether students take the bus, walk, ride a bicycle or are driven to school by their parents, there are safety rules everyone must follow.” Drivers should take note of lower speed limits near schools and be on the lookout for pedestrians in a school zone. “Take a hard look,” Vicari said. “Look, and then look again, for the child hidden by parked cars, shrubbery or high grass, trees, or poles. Even mailboxes can obscure a child, if only for a moment.” Vicari also noted that a driver must be aware before they even leave the driveway. “Even while backing out of your driveway you may encounter inattentive students walking or biking to school,” he said. For students, it is important to check for traffic when stepping off the school bus. “Never trust a vehicle to stop just because the bus is flashing its red warning lights. Always look both ways before crossing the street after
stepping out of the school bus,” Vicari said. Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines provided a few tips for children walking or biking to school: always follow the same route, avoid short cuts, walk in groups and pay attention to any hazards along the way. Officials also remind parents that they can do their part to protect the children by checking up on The Megan’s Law database for information on any convicted sex offenders that may be living nearby. Towns, counties, zip codes and even individual streets can be easily reviewed. “This only takes a few minutes and can make a big difference in keeping a child safe,” said Freeholder Deputy Director John P. Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety. Kelly also suggested periodically checking the Megan’s Law database throughout the year, as it is continuously updated. “It’s important to know what dangers a child may encounter when they travel to and from school,” he said. “It’s also essential that they learn to avoid strangers and how to react if they are approached by an adult they do not know.” You can access the database through the Ocean County Government Homepage at co.ocean.nj.us. Lastly, keep in mind those local businesses when shopping for school supplies this year. “Our local businesses offer everything for school shopping, whether it is that perfect lunchbox for your first grader or a new laptop for a student heading off to college,” Vicari said. “Keep a friend or neighbor working. Buy local.” Shopping local can also protect against fraud, with help from the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of AUG 24 - aug 30 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The possibilities are endless. In the week ahead you might be in your element in more than one area of life. Your quick reactions are relevant at the workplace, and romantic notions receive a warm response at home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can appear attractive and magnetic even while doing basic things like working out, shopping for groceries or washing your car. In the week ahead you may find romance even when engaged in the most mundane tasks. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’re feeling especially creative and poetic - your inner troubadour may sing sonnets celebrating love in the upcoming week, or you might want to pick up a brush or pen. A business meeting may set the scene for a romantic encounter. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be strictly pragmatic and avoid wishful thinking when you handle money or contemplate a new purchase. Be sure to show yourself and your skills to best advantage in order to make a strong impression in the upcoming week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your natural charm and appeal is at a high point and you may have a specific mental picture of how you’d like to put yourself together. A shopping expedition could yield exactly the items you hope to find. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can be both a mover and a shaker in the week ahead. You can move mountains when you decide to work toward something in particular, and you also can shake off any problems that arise like
a dog shaking off water after a bath. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Find a like-minded friend or partner and explore unusual places and wide-open spaces. The two of you can enjoy flights of fancy in the week ahead that could inspire new goals. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have the imagination to see a genuine opportunity, but you’ll need to apply practical skills to make it a success. In the week ahead, consider the pros and cons on many levels before you decide to move ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be a magician and pull a rabbit out of a hat. You’ve got the natural ability to conjure up something truly inspiring as this week unfolds. Use good sense coupled with consistent efforts to make money. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): New and interesting ideas may stimulate your need to make necessary changes in the week to come. Family members may help you come to see that to make progress you must take the first step. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You won’t be left in the dark. In the week ahead, lots of “aha” light bulbs are likely to go off in your head, illuminating any dark corners. Take notes because your new ideas may be worth a future follow-up. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There is a fine line to be drawn between imagination and symbolism that you may encounter in the week ahead. Your job or an important project may involve creative thinking and vision.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Cool Off With Homemade Ice Cream That Captures The Essence Of Summer Fruit By Wolfgang Puck Just as summer’s days begin to feel the hottest, we can enjoy peaches at their best: sweet, incredibly juicy and unbelievably refreshing. They’ve been around, of course, all season. But the late-summer harvest, ripened under the warm sun, always provides the best specimens of all: more intense, even a bit spicy-sweet, and so plump that when you eat one whole you can’t keep its juices from dripping down your chin. Even better, peaches seem especially abundant right now. But what can you do with them all besides just eating them by hand? My team of chefs and I like to add peaches to fruit salads, of course. We chop them up with a little sweet onion, hot fresh chili peppers and cilantro for a fresh salsa or chutney to complement grilled poultry, seafood or meat. We’ll can jars of peach jam, preserving the fruit to enjoy for months to come. Also on the menu: peach shortcake, pies and tarts. It’s possible we’ll even halve, pit and dry peaches to store for use chopped up in granola mixtures baked into holiday fruitcakes. When you get down to the basics, however, for those late-summer days when the heat and humidity are at the most oppressive, there is one peach recipe that seems ideal: ice cream. Of course, it makes perfect sense to combine an iconic fruit of the season with its most iconic dessert. That’s why I’m happy to share one of my favorite versions of such a recipe, dating back to Spago restaurant’s early days, for peach compote ice cream. This recipe offers a textbook lesson in how to distill the very essence of peaches and then infuse it into a frozen dessert. It begins by making a compote of fresh peaches, subtly seasoned with cinnamon and a little lemon juice to heighten its flavor and then enhanced with sugar to help the fruit’s natural sweetness shine through at freezer temperatures. The compote is then combined with a classic ice cream base made with milk, cream, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla bean. Finally, the mixture is sieved to extract every last drop of peach flavor while ensuring that you don’t wind up with hard chunks of frozen fruit. The result is an ice cream that seems to capture the very essence of late summer. Fresh fruit, especially raspberries and sliced fresh peaches, make a perfect complement to each serving; unless, of course, you can’t resist scooping the ice cream into cones! PEACH COMPOTE ICE CREAM Makes about 2 quarts (2 L) PEACH COMPOTE: 3 pounds (1.5 kg) ripe peaches (about 8
large peaches), pitted and cut into thin slices 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) granulated sugar 1 whole cinnamon stick 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice ICE CREAM BASE: 2 cups (500 mL) whole milk 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream 1 vanilla bean pod, cut in half lengthwise, seeds scraped out and reserved along with the bean halves 8 large egg yolks 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar FOR SERVING: Sliced fresh peaches Fresh raspberries (optional) For the peach compote: In a large saucepan, combine the peaches, sugar, cinnamon stick and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are very soft and the mixture starts to thicken, about 30 minutes. During the last 10 minutes, adjust the heat, stir more frequently, and watch carefully to prevent scorching. While the peaches are cooking, make the ice cream base. In a clean large saucepan, combine the milk, cream and vanilla bean halves and seeds. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove the vanilla bean halves. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually whisk in the sugar until thoroughly combined. Whisking continuously, slowly pour in half of the hot cream mixture. Then, while stirring the remaining cream mixture in the saucepan over low heat using a wooden spoon, slowly pour in the egg yolk mixture. Continue stirring continuously over low heat for several minutes, cooking just until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon evenly. Do not overcook. Add the peach compote to the base, removing the cinnamon stick, and stir thoroughly. Set aside to steep for 10 minutes. Then, place a sturdy wire-meshed strainer over a large mixing bowl and pour the mixture through the strainer, pressing down firmly on the solids in the strainer to extract as much flavor as possible. Set the bowl inside a larger bowl half-filled with ice cubes and cold water, and stir the mixture occasionally until well chilled. Freeze the strained mixture in an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer’s directions. Serve immediately, or transfer to a freezer container and store in the freezer. If the ice cream has frozen solid, transfer the container to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before scooping and serving. Scoop the ice cream into individual chilled bowls, and garnish with sliced fresh peaches along with raspberries if you wish.
