By Catherine Galioto TOMS RIVER – Accomplished sculptor and Toms River native Brian Hanlon enjoyed the Seward Johnson statue ex-hibit in place around public spaces in downtown Toms River last summer, and wondered if his own pieces could make up a public display of their own. One year later, the township, Community Arts Project, downtown improvement district and Toms River Artists Community would join Hanlon in cutting the ribbon on such an exhibit. About 20 of his bronze statues are prominently installed down-town where they will remain for the public to enjoy all summer.

By Chris Christopher It was a memorable season for the Ocean County College women’s softball team. The Vikings went 26-13 overall. They won the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III Region XIX Tournament. And they finished sixth at the NJCAA Division III Tournament. The program was born in 1977. It was the first time the Vikings won the Region XIX title and the initial time they qualified for the nationals.

Spray Park Set To Open June 18–Photos by Catherine Galioto

The new splash pad in Ocean Gate is set to open June 18, but first the borough council will vote June 15 on its rules and cost of badges.

its hearing June 15 on the list of rules and regulations, and cost of badges, to use the newly built spray park, at Wildwood Avenue by the gazebo and riverfront. The scheduled opening day for the new splash pad is June 18. The proposal: $10 for a resident’s season

badge, $15 for non-resident for the season or $4 for a daily badge. However, the idea is if you already have a beach badge, you can use it to access the splash pad. The hours of operation would be 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day, through the park’s

season opening to Labor Day. The ordinance of all the rules – which list all the do’s and don’ts for using the park – was introduced at the May 26 borough council meeting and will have its hearing and final vote at the June 15 meeting. The ordinance mentions that starting June 15, badges will be on sale at the splash park through Labor Day, and year-round at borough hall. But the rules allow for those who’ve bought a beach badge to also use it as entrance into the splash pad area: “All borough beach badges will be accepted for admission into the splash pad area,” states the ordinance. The cost for a season beach badge is $17 through June 15, then $21, sold at borough hall, or $4 for a daily beach badge, sold by badge checkers at the beach. The splash pad area is intended for chil-dren ages 3 to 12 years old, according to the ordinance. The site is gated, fenced-in, landscaped with rock, grass and plantings and has the main play area of fountains, hoses, sprays and cascades atop a concrete pad. It’s not a water park with slides or pools but a play area that shoots water to romp around in and cool off. Among the other proposed rules for the borough’s newest park: Everyone must wear a beach or splash pad badge while using the facility.

freeholders said. An eight unit t-hangar building would be constructed by the end of this year adjacent to the existing t-hangar buildings, said Free-holder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the facility. The expansion also includes $1.6 million in improvements to the main runway’s lighting system, which Vicari said will improve safety for pilots coming into and leaving the airport. The freeholder said the cost of the project will be paid for through a lease agreement. Ocean Aircraft Storage, a partner with county’s fixed based operator, Ocean Aire, will operate the new t-hangar. “The county developed a land lease with Ocean Aircraft Storage that will allow for the construction of the new t-hangar building…Ocean Aircraft Storage will construct the t-hangar building at its own cost and expense,” Vicari said in a press release. “This new t-han-gar will be of no cost to the county and will answer a growing need at this facility.” The lease is a 10-year term with an option of two additional 10-year terms. The county will annually receive 15 percent of the gross revenue or $5,000, whichever is higher. The construction of the new t-hangar, the fifth at the site, would bring the capacity to 45 individual units at the airport. Currently there are four t-hangar buildings consisting of 36 individual units. “Because of the waiting list we anticipate the new hangar will be filled as soon as work is completed,” Vicari said. Completion of the building is expected in December.

More Improvements The hangar and other improvements are part of a long-term plan for the airport, the Airport Capital Improvement Program, and also consistent with the Pinelands Memoran-dum of Agreement. The site is surrounded by hundreds of acres of Pinelands, in Pinewald and the border with Whiting. The airpark has a 6,000 foot runway, a newer crosswind runway and is used by private air-planes, small corporate jets, the state Forest Fire Service planes, the Civil Air Patrol and Emergency Services aircraft. Since 1990, Ocean County has received more than $23 million in federal and state funding for airport improvements. But the current runway lighting system is more than 20 years old and scheduled for replacement. “We are applying for federal funding for 90 percent of the cost of the replacement project and for state funding for five percent of the to-tal cost,” Vicari said of the $1.6 million project. The design work, funded also by federal and state grants was completed last year. The project includes the installation of high intensity runway/threshold edge lights and high intensity flush mounted runway edge lights. It should take about three months to complete after a bid is awarded, possibly later this month. Last year, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders approved two grant applications to the state Department of Transportation: $788,800 for taxiway and apron crack repairs, and $704,000 for a t-hangar taxi-lane construc-tion project. Around the same time, county crews began a series of safety improvements, most noticeable trimming or removing trees near the main runway to improve visibility.

All children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. No more than five children per parent or legal guardian. Any groups or organized functions, such as a church group, day care facility, sports team, athletic class or similar entity would need to contact the borough in advance of its visit, and have liability insurance. The maximum capacity of the splash pad is 30 people. Patrons must wear “family-orientated swimwear” when in the splash pad area. Slip-resistant footwear is recommended. Flip-flops are prohibited. Much of the rules bar activities such as rough play, smoking, littering, washing/bathing, changing diapers or being sick. Prohibited items include beach and water toys such as water balloons, beach balls and bats, but skateboards, bicycles and strollers are also off-limits. So are pets, glass containers, food, tobacco, alcohol and portable chairs. The facility is used “at your own risk.” There is no lifeguard on duty. The splash pad is the first of its kind in Ocean Gate, with the project construct-ed over the winter. Jackson Township is set to open a spray park of its own at its Justice Complex with a sports theme, and Manchester’s Pine Lake beachfront has a simple one in place for residents to use each summer. The parks are set to timers and have drainage and filtering systems in addition to its pumps and other mechanics.

“Our team was very even keeled,” said Bob Mazanec, OCC’s seventh-year coach. “It never got too high. It never got too low. We rallied to win games a half dozen times. The girls never gave up. They were battlers.” Seven players won postseason honors. Sophomore outfielder Kara Molnar, a Jack-son Memorial High School graduate, and sophomore pitcher Ashley Hussey (Toms River North) captured first-team all-region and first-team All-Garden State Athletic Conference honors. Sophomore first baseman April Szymczyk (Jackson Liberty), freshman second base-man Kurstin Binshedler (Pinelands Region-al) and sophomore shortstop Adelle Hick-man (Jackson Liberty) won second-team all-region and second-team all-conference honors. Named third-team all-region and third-team all-conference were freshman pitcher-outfielder Marissa Stadtmauer and freshman catcher Stephanie Healy (Pinelands). Through the Region XIX Tournament, Molnar hit .548 (63-for-115). She set the school career record for home runs (seven), including six this season. She drove in 44 runs and scored 56. She added 10 doubles and nine triples and sped to eight steals in eight attempts. The former Jaguar is headed to William Paterson University. “She has a lot of our records,” Mazanec said. “She is probably our all-time leader in runs scored and runs batted in. She has a quick bat and can drive the ball to all fields.

She has really good speed on the bases and is an excellent baserunner.” Hussey went 16-4 through the nationals to tie OCC’s single-season wins record. The owner of a 26-9 career record, she leaves with the highest wins total in school history. She was named the Region XIX Pitcher of the Year in 2016. “She is what I consider a true pitcher as she does not throw that hard,” Mazanec said. “She has good movement. I would say her out pitch is her curveball. She moves the ball in and out and up and down and gets the hitters off balance.” Among the greatest women’s athletes in OCC history, Szymczyk also starred in basketball and volleyball. Szymczyk, who will play basketball for Rowan University, batted .545 (61-for-112) through the Region IX Tournament. She plated 52 runs, scored 30 and hit three homers and 15 doubles. Szymczyk and Molnar were among the Division III leaders in batting average. “I consider April a power hitter and a great defensive first baseman,” said Mazanec, who was assisted by Elise Weinberger and Mickey Minnitti. “She was a free swinger – not someone who looked to cut down on her swing. On defense, she has great hands and is aggressive. She is excellent at fielding bunts and she can handle all of the throws from the infielders. She dug a lot of balls out of the dirt. She made three errors in 233 total chances.” Binshedler batted .419 through the Region XIX Tournament. She scored 57 runs and drove in 21. Among her hits were nine dou-bles, two homers and three triples.

“She hit leadoff,” Mazanec said. “She was very steady. She had a lot of responsibility at second base and made all of the plays. She turns the double play as well as anyone I have ever seen. She got on base and got us started. She and Hickman made for a great double play combination.” Hickman stung the ball at a .521 clip (63-for-121) through the Region XIX Tourna-ment. She knocked in 28 runs, scored 52 and hit one homer and seven doubles. She will attend William Paterson. “She moved from second base to shortstop this year for the betterment of the team,” Mazanec said. “She helped set the table for Molnar and Szymczyk.” Stadtmauer was named the Most Valuable Player of the team’s best-of-three series against Cumberland County College in the Region XIX Tournament in which she won both games, allowing one run in seven innings. Prior to displaying her pitching prowess, she was best known for her offense as she hit .434 through the Region XIX Tournament. “She was our third pitcher for most of the year,” Mazanec said. “She started in left field for 95 percent of our games. In the

regions, our top two pitchers had difficulty, but she came in and shut things down in both games. We had one foot in the grave.” Healy hit .462 through the Region XIX Tournament. She drove in 24 runs and scored 20. She hit one homer, three triples and eight doubles. “She was an aggressive baserunner,” Mazanec said. “She was a good defensive catcher who really took charge in the infield.” The Vikings also received contributions from sophomore outfielder Brianna Vafiadis (Central Regional), freshman third base-man-outfielder Bridgette Badalis (Roselle Catholic), freshman infielder Emily Danci-sin (Pinelands), freshman outfielder Kristin Kolisz (Ossining, N.Y.), freshman catch-er-second baseman Mackenzie Darmstatter (Barnegat), freshman outfielder Caitlyn Linstra (Lacey) and freshman pitcher Stephanie Havens (Jackson Memorial). Early in the season, OCC went 6-2 on a trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C. The team raised funds with the aid of the OCC Foundation, local businesses, families and friends. “We knew we could be good when we finished the trip,” Mazanec said. “We saw we had some power, defense and pitching.”

I have lived my life for three-quarters of a century and there’s one thing man-kind can’t achieve. Why? Since the very beginning of mankind, men have been warring with each other. Again, why? It would seem to me that man would want peace. We all know that there are no winners to war, only losers. With money spent on war in my lifetime, if man had spent it on peace rather than war, we would all be living in clover. Everyone would have a roof over their head and food on the table. Instead of spending money on war machine, this money could have gone into medi-cine and research. Instead of man spending his time plotting war, the same time could have been spent on planning peace. At the rate we are going, mankind will end up blowing themselves and the earth into oblivion. Why is it that we find it so hard to befriend our neigh-bor, and instead become jeal-ous of others? Why can’t we love each other? Why should our children be subjected to war and the devastation it brings? We were given a great gift called the Earth. All we seem able to do is destroy it. Why is it so dif-ficult to live in peace? Why don’t we spend our time on love instead of hate? We were given a brain in order to think things out. War brings destruction and need. What kind of people start these wars and why do people pay attention to them? Where are our great leaders and why

I just read a story regarding Toms River, who dropped another $200,000 into its barrier island beaches. A picture shows a truck dump-ing sand in front of a home on the beach. The ocean was lapping at the home. The town had two front-end loaders taking sand from other parts of the beach and filling the hole. When are the politicians and engineers going to learn that you cannot stop beach ero-sion just by dumping sand? This winter the town dumped $500,000 in dune sand which the ocean removed after one nor’easter. They need to build jetties to break the waves off shore and break up the inshore current so the sand is deposited on the beach. Again, I point to Manasquan and Shark River Inlets. When I first moved here 40 years ago there was water on both sides of the south jetties. Today the beach is out to the jetties’ point and the sand is filling in the inlets. Is nature telling you something?Captain Robert M. SilvaToms River

When you discover that property taxation is a form of legal thievery and the government services you need can be done by your-self in cooperation with others who need the same services, you move in that direction. Converting from the prop-erty tax to do-it-yourself government is a gradual movement. The first step is to drop the tax levy each year by at least 2 percent through the use of surplus money, the sale of land, buildings, and goods deemed not necessary by the taxed citizens along with eliminating unneces-sary taxpayer jobs that are currently vacant. And the second step is to fill the needed government jobs that become vacant with your own labor and goods in cooperation with other citizens having the same needs. Paying tax dollars to others to do the job in the form of salaries, fees, and benefits amounts to forced cooperation [so-cialism] or slave labor. The long-held lie that there will always be taxation is dismissed by the truth that we are the property of our creator and not of any government. And from the creator we receive our freedom.Ray KalainikasManalapan

Manchester Township Mayor Kenneth Palmer discussed the township’s redevelopment proposal for the Heritage Minerals Site at a recent council meeting. Ordinance #16-022, which the council introduced with-out discussion on May 9 and initially scheduled for final approval just two weeks later on May 23, would give tremendous power to the developer and, once adopt-ed, cannot be undone. The ordinance would adopt the Manchester Heritage Town

Mankind Can’t Achieve Peace

can’t they put a stop to wars? I know this letter sounds like a fairy tale, but I still believe in fairy tales. I hope we will see the light before it is too late. We would have it all, if we just learned to live in peace. I hope you all join in with my fairy tale, for I believe it! “Peace to all mankind.”Herb Greenberg, Jr. Brick

Center Redevelopment Plan and amend the township’s zoning map to reflect the Redevelopment Plan. This massive development plan is bad for Manchester and bad for the Pinelands. Manchester’s leaders have not given the public enough time to provide input about this proposal which would bring vast changes to the town. If it weren’t for the public outcry, Council would already have ad-opted the Redevelopment Plan only two weeks after disclosing its terms. The Redevelopment Plan is illegal, because it violates a slew of environmental rules and a legal settle-ment agreement reached in 2003 between the Pinelands Commission, the Depart-ment of Environmental Pro-tection and the developer, Hovsons Inc. Hovsons’ prior attempts to develop this site had resulted in years of liti-gation because its plans violated rules that protect environmental resources. The settlement agreement permitted Hovsons to build 2,450 homes on 900 acres, would allow 20,000 square feet of commercial devel-opment and dedicates 6,400 acres as open space. The Redevelopment Plan would vastly expand the development and slash the open space. The Plan would allow development of 4,087 acres. Instead of 20,000 square feet of commercial you get one million square feet. Instead of 2,450 homes you get 6,543. The main positive the mayor sees in the develop-ment is making money to “off-set the increasing costs of running a town” through tax revenues. But there are obvious reasons why no one should rely on this develop-ment making more money than it will cost in increased municipal services. Even if it were legal, this Plan would be still be very bad for Manchester. The fiscal impact analysis produced to justify the plan is profoundly flawed. Here

Although families depend on women’s earnings, those earnings have still not caught up with men’s. The wage gap not only persists at different levels of education but be-comes larger with each level. Women with a graduate degree earn only 70 percent of what similar men earn. Working women of all ages continue to encounter atti-tudes and business practices that arbitrarily limit their employment opportunities and earning power. These practices can jeopardize their financial security, both while working and in re-tirement. A woman who works full-time over a 40-year period loses $435,480 in lifetime income (in today’s dollars) due to the wage gap. The typical woman needs to

The income gap trans-lates directly to lower in-come from Social Security and pensions – since those benefits are determined by wage history, disadvantaging women and their families through retirement. This income gap ham-pers the capacity of women workers to save for retire-ment. And since women typically live longer than men, savings often must be stretched across more years of retirement.

CongressmanTom MacArthur

From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur:

NEW JERSEY – The Fed-eral Emergency Manage-ment Agency (FEMA) an-

nounced that it would over-haul its flood insurance pro-gram following Congress-man MacArthur’s revelation of former FEMA-employ-ees-turned-whistleblowers. After a year of scandal, FEMA was faced with a barrage of bad headlines recently when Congress-man MacArthur exposed

MacArthur Demands Real Reform At FEMAadditional documents and signed affidavits from for-mer FEMA employees, with one such affidavit stating the reason for leaving FEMA was the “elaborate process designed to justify minimal payments to policyholders irrespective of the actual merits of their claims.” “Over the last year we wit-

nessed severe incompetence and systemic failure,” said Congressman MacArthur. “The people of New Jersey have been mistreated by a government that is sup-posed to be there for them when disaster strikes. This is not the first time FEMA has promised ‘reforms,’ but unfortunately they haven’t

followed through with any-thing close to their promis-es. While these ‘reforms’ make for a nice press re-lease in the wake of a storm of damaging headlines, it doesn’t change the fact that bad actors at FEMA were responsible for the systemic lowballing of claims to my constituents, and to date,

not a single person at FEMA has been held accountable.” MacArthur continued, “I am eager to hear more about FEMA’s promised ‘reforms’ – and I pledge to play a leading role in demanding the kind of comprehensive change that will prevent anything like this from happening in the future.”

OCEAN COUNTY – The Pinelands are under assault by crowds of illegal ATV and quad riders who are tearing up the pristine woods, leaving behind mounds of trash and endangering first respond-ers who sometimes have to travel to remote areas to treat injuries. Unfortunately, social media has attracted many more rid-ers into areas of the Pinelands that had previously only been known to small groups of

locals. Now, with word spreading on Facebook and high-reso-lution satellite images avail-able on every phone, riders from around the state and the Northeast are coming here, and in many cases completely disregarding our laws regard-ing all-terrain vehicles. Additionally, police have found that many of these vehicles are unregistered and uninsured. Local police and the me-

dia have reported that large groups of riders arrive with trailers full of dirt bikes, quads and other ATVs. These riders are at risk of serious injury and can be difficult to find and treat in the vast expanse of pine forests. The motorized vehicles on Pinelands trails can also pose a forest fire danger to the sur-rounding woodlands. Police departments from Lacey, Barnegat and Ware-town have already begun a

campaign targeting off-road riders on both private property and conservation tracts. Working together with mu-nicipalities, the State Police and the Department of Envi-ronmental Protection, we can control this growing problem. One suggestion might be the immediate confiscation of motorized off-road vehicles found on private property and restricted public land. Confiscation would send a strong message that people

can’t simply travel to Ocean County and have a good time without obeying the law. Last summer also saw a prob-lem with large parties in some sections of the Pinelands, with partygoers leaving behind huge piles of trash. In one location, we esti-mated that more than 300 young people had gathered one weekend. Having fun is one thing, but large uncontrolled crowds like this threaten the environment

and make it difficult for police and other first responders to respond to an emergency at such an event. We are very fortunate that 60 percent of all the land in Ocean County is preserved open space, unavailable for building. By following the rules and working together, we can ensure that this valuable open space is protected and avail-able for both us, and future generations, to safely enjoy.

OCEAN COUNTY – An energy audit on half a dozen buildings owned and main-tained by Ocean County government outlines energy upgrades that could help save almost $1 million annually in energy costs. “This audit is very import-ant to us as we look at ways to reduce costs and improve our energy efficiency,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Buildings and Grounds. “This audit comes with a number of beneficial suggestions that we will be considering for imple-mentation.” The energy audit was un-dertaken by Ocean County through a program admin-istered by the state Board of Public Utilities. “This is the result of an ex-haustive examination of six

Energy Audit Highlights Savings For Ocean Countyfacilities that receive a lot of traffic both from the public and with our employees,” Vicari said. “That is why they were chosen for this initial review.” The six facilities include the Ocean County Courthouse, the Ocean County Adminis-tration Building, the Ocean County Jail, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, the Ocean County Justice Complex and the parking garage all in down-town Toms River. “These facilities total 1,022,775 square feet,” Vicari said. “They produce an annual energy bill of $2.3 million,” Vicari said. “A proposed $955,000 reduction is a substantial decrease in our energy bills.” Once the audit is approved by the BPU’s Office of Clean Energy, the county can move forward with the recommend-ed cost effective “self-funding” energy efficiency measures

and facility upgrades that are designed to reduce operating expenses, save energy and reduce emissions. “The improvements include upgrades to the lighting sys-tems, automated controls for lighting, upgrades to existing heating and air conditioning systems and some building improvements,” Vicari said. “This audit is another step in the county’s ongoing efforts to conserve energy and to reap the benefits of renewable energy savings.” A combination of different recommendations was made for each building reviewed. For instance, the Ocean Coun-ty Courthouse had the highest number – eight recommenda-tions – including installation of LED lights, installation of an energy management system that would control the heating and air conditioning tempera-

tures, replacement of the boiler, chiller and air handling units, variable frequency drive con-trols for the cooling tower to increase efficiency, installation of a fan cooling unit controller and upgrading the domestic hot water heater. Under the program, Vicari said, costs for the improve-ments would be offset by incen-tives from the state which could total up to $502,000. And, he said, the money saved on energy could be re-allocated to pay for additional energy upgrades. The audit’s recommendations could reap a self-funding potential of $19.3 million and a reserve for mod-ifications and future projects of up to $4 million. “The audit listed at least five energy upgrade suggestions for the majority of the buildings reviewed,” Vicari said. Michael Fiure, director of the

Ocean County Office of Man-agement and Budget, said the BPU’s Clean Energy Program promotes increased energy efficiency and the use of clean, renewable sources of energy.“We began this process in late 2014 to participate in the Local Government Energy Audit to identify cost-justified efficien-cy measures,” he said. “This audit will provide the Board of Freeholders with various energy alternatives that we can implement.” “I applaud Freeholder Vicari for overseeing this energy au-dit,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, director of Law and Public Safety. “As we look at our future building needs, this information will be a help in making certain decisions on our energy needs allowing us to meet environmental standards and our desire to be affordable.” Over the course of several

months, representatives from DCO Energy, Lawrenceville, visited each county location noted in the audit and did a complete review of the build-ings. “They looked at electric and natural gas usage, building architectural and engineering drawings, lighting systems, heating and air conditioning equipment and controls, roofs, windows, doorways, occupan-cy schedules and maintenance practices,” Vicari said. Vicari said the county will review all measures presented for each facility along with funding opportunities made available by the New Jersey Clean Energy Program. Vicari noted the county main-tains about 135 buildings that house government services and programs. “This audit is an important first step,” he said.

BERKELEY – Nancy Seibert has been collect-ing for “Cell Phones for Soldiers” since 2006. She has combined forces with the Berkeley based “Support the Troops” project and Lloyd Mullikin, who has been sending packages oversea since 2004. Over the past six years these projects have worked closely together collecting phones and mailing packages, which include calling cards to troops overseas. Cell phones are collected in any condition and sent to a recycler. The profits from the recycling are sent to the organization headquarters in Massachusetts to purchase 60-minute calling cards for troops overseas, so that they may keep in contact with their families during their deployment.

Donate To Cell Phones For Soldiers To date, there have been over 17,000 phones collected and over 63,000 free 60-minute calling cards donated through the group’s ef-forts to date. The group has various drop sites throughout the area so that donors can drop their phones in them. The phones are collected from the sites for recycling. The group also accepts names of soldiers serving overseas to send them calling cards. Just supply their name, rank and military mailing address in order for them to receive a package along with the calling cards. Participation in the program would be greatly appreciated by the Cell Phones for Soldiers program. For more information, contact Nancy Seibert, project coordinator at 732-606-6040.

LANOKA HARBOR – Ocean County audiences have been enjoying the music of The Island Singers Community Chorus for more than 40 years. The four-part cho-ral group has been under the guidance of Director Polly Moore for much of that time. Membership fluctuates depending on the season. Typically there are a few more people on the role during the spring than for the holiday concert in December. Ap-proximately 40 men and women are singing with the group now. Many singers return every year and have been singing with Moore for over 20 years. They come from all walks of life and are of all ages. Some folks have vocal experience and want to continue performing, but most members simply enjoy singing and want to be part of a choral group. Anyone with a pleasant voice and a desire to learn the music is welcome to join. Rehearsals are held every Tuesday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. at Village Lutheran Church, 701 Western Blvd. The spring concert features an eclectic blend of familiar standards and traditional favorites. The chorus is planning a wa-

LACEY – For more information on Pop-corn Park featured pets, visit ahscares.org. Patty is a 3 year-old Tibetan mastiff that is ready for a fresh start in life. Patty was found abandoned in a park in terrible condition and it’s obvious that she was used by a breeder before being tossed out when she was of no further value. Patty was terribly overgrown and matted beyond belief and her teeth were a disaster. She has a very deep scar going around her muzzle from her mouth being tied shut. Patty has put the whole awful mess behind her and is groomed, healthy and happy now. She is looking for a home with a family

Associated Humane Societies And Popcorn Park Featured Pet

–Photo courtesy Popcorn Parkthat has giant breed experience. She is a very smart dog, but she is dominant, which goes along with the breed. She is not aggressive and loves people, but she will not tolerate people pushing themselves on her, which is why she will need a home with no children under 12. When Patty gets to know you, she is an absolute love. She leans on you, seeks out attention and bonds quickly. Patty will run and play like a puppy and just loves toys and goofing around. She enjoys running and playing in the exercise yard. She will need a home with a fenced yard and no other pets. She may sound like she has lots of require-ments, but Patty is worth it.

OCEAN COUNTY – About 300 people turned out for the 10-year anniversary of the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Ocean Coun-ty for the Dining for a Cause and Wine Tasting recently. The organizers and CASA thank the friends, Board of Directors, sponsors, volunteers and the Wine Academy’s 11 wine vendors for helping to make the event a suc-cess. The fundraising event benefits CASA’s advocacy programs for Ocean County children in foster care. Dining for a Cause was held June 1 at Crystal Point Yacht Club, Point Pleasant. The Wine Academy, hosted 11 wine vendors sampling a selection of fine wines and spirits, amid live music, gift auction and 50/50. Among the large-scale donors was Wells Fargo Bank with a $7,500 donation, and the Grunin Family Foundation $15,000 donation and sponsorship of CASA programs.

County children in foster care. CASA recruits and trains caring adults to be CASA volunteer advocates. The CASA advocate ensures that the judge in the family court system is aware of all the facts to make the best decisions for the child’s future and help that child find a permanent home. In 2015 there were 756 Ocean County children in foster care with 150 served by a CASA vol-unteer advocate with many more on a waiting list for a CASA advocate of their own. CASA’s fundraising events enable CASA to help more Ocean County children waiting

for a CASA advocate to be their voice in the courts. CASA’s next fundraising events will be comedy night on August 12 at the Laurelton Fire House in Brick, and Choc n Roll in October. To find out more about becoming a CASA volunteer or upcoming events please call 732-797-0590 or visit CASA’s website at casaofoceancounty.org.

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean Health Initia-tives (OHI), a federally qualified health center with locations in Ocean County, has been named an eligible provider in The Veterans Choice program. The Veterans Choice pro-gram provides eligible veterans with the option to receive non-VA health care services from approved community health care providers, such as OHI, in their communities. Using this program will not have any impact on existing VA health care or any other VA benefit. Some qualifying situations for veterans include waiting more than 30 days for VA medical care, or having to travel 40 miles or more to a VA medical facility, among others.

Girl Scouts Honors Distinguished

They are dedicated to bettering the com-munity and they embody the leadership qualities represented by the Girl Scout organization. Each honoree is a valuable role model to girls as they become women of courage, confidence and char-acter, who make the world a better place. Each honoree is now on the list of commu-nity leaders and activities honored by the Girl Scouts through this annual event over the past 32 years.

OCEAN COUNTY – Golfers are com-ing back to the two courses operated by Ocean County. “We have been seeing our numbers increase substantially based on a three-year average,” said Ocean County Free-holder John C. Bartlett Jr., who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation. “These courses are well-maintained and are once again growing in popularity.” Ocean County operates two golf cours-es – the Ocean County Golf Course at Atlantis in Little Egg Harbor Township and the Ocean County Golf Course at Forge Pond in Brick Township. At-tendance at the two courses had been negatively affected by the recession and Superstorm Sandy. “I am pleased to see people in large numbers are again using our courses,” Bartlett said. “Each course offers our residents a different golf experience.” Ocean County Golf Course at Atlan-tis, located on Country Club Blvd., is a par-72 championship course designed by George Fazio. Among the more chal-lenging holes is a par-three sixth hole, where the golfer must negotiate a pond in the middle of the fairway in order to reach the green. Ocean County Golf Course at Forge Pond, located in the Northeastern region of Ocean County is a par-60 executive course tucked into a 300-acre conser-vation area. The freeholders said the rates are very reasonable, especially for resident senior citizens. Freeholder Director John P. Kelly said the county-run golf courses fill a niche in the county. “They can be used by everyone,” he said. “And, they are affordable.” Bartlett noted that rounds played at the Forge Pond Golf Course are up more than 43 percent with more than 4,000 rounds played this year. Year to date, deposits have increased about 11 percent. The numbers at Atlantis are even stron-ger as rounds played have increased almost 70 percent to more than 5,000 rounds this year, and deposits are up

almost 17 percent. “We are open and people are playing,” Bartlett said. “We have seen a good spring so far and we expect that to continue.” Bartlett said the Parks and Recreation department staff is always reviewing ways to create more interest in the county’s golf courses. In addition to good weather, other improvements including implementing Golf Now Tee Time Reservations, a global company that allows residents to reserve a tee time whether it is online, or on their phone, has made making reservations easier. “With this reservation system, we are now much more accessible for golfers,” Bartlett said. In addition, some changes to the course at Atlantis are helping to meet the vari-ous levels golfers play at. “Forward tees have created a nicer round of golf for our players,” Bartlett said. “The changes are helping golfers play to their ability while also speeding up play. It’s better for everybody.” In addition, the opening of Cuisine on the Green, a restaurant that serves as the culinary program for the Ocean County Vocational Technical School has been a draw for Atlantis. “This has been a beneficial partner-ship,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the county’s vo-tech school district. “This is good for tourism and it’s good for the quality of life offered here in Ocean County.” At Forge Pond, spring and summer golf leagues have attracted more play as has the golfer appreciation card, which allows for one free round of play upon the completion of nine. “Our parks depar tment staff does an outstanding job in maintaining the greens, the courses and also implement-ing creative ways to attract the public to our courses,” Bartlett said. “Our golf courses are true assets to the county.” More information on the Ocean County operated golf courses and parks can be accessed by visiting co.ocean.nj.us/OCParks.

are just a few of the unrealistic assumptions on which its rosy predictions are based: The analysis looks only at predicted tax revenues 20 years from now – telling us nothing about the impact on the town’s taxes over the next 20 years. It assumes that 100 percent of all the proposed residential, com-mercial and industrial space is always fully occupied. And it assumes Hovsons will build and sell more than 1800 three-bed-room units as age-restricted. Here’s how we know this assumption is not based on real business plans: The first draft of the analysis showed the town taking a bath, even on its other unrealistic assumptions, so they just changed all these three-bedroom units to age restricted in order to artificially eliminate a lot of school children – all with-out any legal or market basis to believe the town can make Hovsons keep these units age-restricted. Most suburban towns in New Jersey will not adopt plans like this anymore because they know the math doesn’t work out. Ex-perience and studies have shown again and

again that in New Jersey, with our heavy re-liance on property taxes, big developments in suburban towns result in a net fiscal loss to municipalities. And the costs of new development, once built, just increase. Commercial development is often touted as the answer to offset the increased costs of services to new residents. But that is also a Trojan horse. Commercial development also brings municipal costs, and towns with lots of commercial usually have higher taxes than those with less. That’s only partly because new commercial ratables often displace ex-isting ones – another point which the fiscal impact analysis completely ignores. If Council adopts Ordinance #16-022, it would give all the power to the developer, and if the town changes its mind in the fu-ture there will be nothing you can do to stop this project. The residents of Manchester Township should demand that Council deny ordinance #16-022. Call Mayor Palmer at 732-657-8121 and tell him how you feel.

Downtown:Continued From Page 1

“It’s official, all the plaques are up, people can wander and learn,” Hanlon said. “The figures are so different, but they have a lot of common with their pursuit of excellence – athletic excel-lence, civic excellence, business excellence.” Whether Yogi Berra, Earl Lloyd, a firefighter memorial or the Binghamton mascot bearcat, the large-scale, bronze sculptures span a va-riety of subjects both well and little known. Each has signage nearby, explaining the piece. The statues are copies of ones Hanlon has made for clients all over the world. He is the official sculptor of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, but has created more than 300 sculptures and statues. Local examples of his work include the prominent “Welcome To Ocean County” monument at the southeast corner of Route 36 and 166 in Toms River, the baseball sculpture in the Ocean County Mall and the “Angel in Anguish” September 11 memorial in Brick. With many of the sculptures focused on sports and athletics, the exhibition is called the Sports, Fitness and Wellness Summer. Hanlon said the exhibition is meant to show

the “possibilities of the human spirit.” It also creates a second summer of interest in the arts in downtown Toms River, which last year hosted the life-like works of Seward John-son, which had statues showing “residents” in daily vignettes such as a police officer issuing a parking ticket, two ladies chatting on a bench, children playing in the grass or a worker wash-ing storefront windows. In contrast, the Hanlon statues feature actual people from history, or even sports mascots. A plaque nearby explains the piece and the Garden Club helped to incorporate planters and other elements to enhance the settings. Helping to bring the second season of sculp-ture are sponsors, volunteers and organizers behind much of the effort to create an arts hub for Toms River and sustain the downtown corridor: the Toms River business improve-ment district, the Community Arts Project, the Grunin Foundation and TRAC. A map of where to find the statues around downtown is available at the downtown Toms River office on Water Street and online. This year’s exhibit would likely feature tie-ins with the library’s summer reading program, walking tours and other special events similar to last summer.

Sound Void? A sound void is most commonly defined as a moment lacking clarity in hearing or understanding; an empty space in one’s life caused by the absence of sound clar-ity. Sound voids usually occur in specific listening situations where an individual’s hearing loss does not permit them to de-tect or understand important sounds and speech cues. Individuals often find that sound voids result in tiring, frustrating and embarrassing situations. However you experience them – whether they happen during precious moments with your loved ones, critical conver-sations in the work place or in common everyday interactions – sound voids can detract from your ability to live your life to its fullest.

Do you often hear people talking but simply have difficulty understanding them? Do you sometimes struggle to hear clearly in background noise? Do you occasionally have trouble fol-lowing the conversation in small groups? Do you find it challenging to explain your hearing situation to others? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be experiencing the perception of “sound void”. The term sound void was created to help explain the gaps that some say that they experience in their day-to-day listening lives. If this sounds like you or someone you love, you should consider contacting your hearing health care professional today.

FREE SCREENING for Detection of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA)

As many as 2.7 million Americans are estimated to have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, but only about half of them have been diagnosed. Approximately 15,000 people die from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States each year. Many patients are not aware of the presence of an AAA. It is more prevalent in patients with history of smoking and family histories of abdominal aortic aneurysms

and hypertension. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms usually do not produce any symptoms until the aneurysm is ready to rupture. It is therefore important that persons over the age of 65, with family history

of AAA and/or history of smoking, should be screened to detect the presence of an aneurysm.If the aneurysm is found and happens to be less than 5 centimeters, the patient should be followed periodically as an outpatient with ultrasound to check for any significant increase in the size of the

aneurysm. If the aneurysm turns out to be greater than 5 centimeters, the patient should consider repair of the aneurysm and discuss treatment options with a Vascular surgeon.

Please call the office at 732-244-4448 to schedule your free screening.

All Of Us Have An Autoimmune Disorder

It’s scary to think that you could have autoimmune dysfunction even though you may not have been diagnosed with a disor-der yet. I think we all have some degree of autoimmunity and if tested properly, we’d see it. Doctors think autoimmune diseases are “rare” and here I’m saying I think all of us have some degree. I’m not crazy. It’s only “rare” because the old-school tests don’t detect it until 90 percent of the tissue or organ is completely destroyed. Tests for autoimmunity are so backwards that until the symptoms are out of control and you’re in terrible pain or finally start-ing to become deformed, the tests don’t come back positive. Most of your tissue has to be destroyed or the autoimmune diagnosis is not given. Take Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease for example. These are both auto-immune diseases where your T cells (im-mune system) destroy your own thyroid gland. But people don’t get cured when they take the “standard of care” medica-tions such as thyroid hormone, or when they undergo surgery or radiation. Why aren’t they cured and why don’t they feel better when their TSH and other thyroid labs look good? The answer is easy. It’s because none of these medications stop the assault caused by the T cells, which are still trying to kill other tissues in the body. There’s a full-body cytokine storm of pro-inflammatory compounds making you miserable, even though your hormone levels are normal. Take any autoimmune disease, the best they tell you to hope for is remission.

When you have one autoimmune disease, you almost always have two or three or four. Your body creates antibodies ev-erywhere it sees an invader. Why would anyone think it stops at your thyroid, your myelin, your adrenals, your joints and cartilage or your skin cells? Here’s why you could have multiple disorders going on. It could be a patho-gen that’s gone undetected. It could be food, that’s a big trigger. Gluten is a hole puncher. You get gluten when you eat traditional bread, pasta and pastries, most notably from foods cooked with wheat, barley and rye. Gluten pokes holes in your gut, whether or not you have Celiac disease. It’s an additive. Gluten makes the “tight junctions” in your gut come loose, so various undigest-ed proteins (corn, egg, coffee, tapioca) leak out of the holes in your gut, into your blood stream. The proteins aren’t supposed to be there, they’re supposed to stay in the tube, meaning your gut. Your immune system tags these innocent foreign proteins, which only leaked out because your gut has holes. These proteins are in organs and your im-mune system is poised to destroy the tissue wherever they lodge. It’s not just gluten, it could be corn, egg, dairy, coffee and so forth. It differs for everyone. I’ve written an ebook, specifically on the topic of food, and what foods to avoid. My ebook per-tains to Hashimoto’s, however if you have any autoimmune disorder, it will help you. Sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and it will come in an email.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

Hanging On The TelephoneDear Joel I ended a relationship with a girl that I had been dating for several years. It started out as a nice relationship when we were both in college. Ever since I broke up with her she has been stalking me. She bombards me with texts, e mails and phone calls. I keep on telling her to leave me alone but she continues to call. Can I hire a lawyer?Answer: You can always hire a lawyer. Finding someone to handle this case seems like a no brainer. Your letter leaves me per-plexed. You don’t mention her following you to school or work. She doesn’t appear

in restaurants or stores that you are in. Ev-erything that you included in her behavior has either a phone number or e mail address. The very fact that you haven’t changed either makes me feel that in some way you are inviting this behavior and per-haps subconsciously enjoying it. Making her go away is probably an easy fix if that’s what you really want. Take the time to analyze why you haven’t slammed the door on this one. It will be a lot cheaper than hiring an attorney who will probably give you the same advice.

A frequently asked question by persons buying houses is whether they need to spend the money to obtain a survey of the property they are buying. A survey is a graphic depiction of the property showing its boundary lines as well as any structures or other improvements on the property. In many cases, the answer is easy, be-cause many mortgage lenders will require a survey as part of the mortgage process to make sure that the property that they are mortgaging has no legal defects. But what about those cases where the mortgage lender does not require a survey or where the buyer is paying cash for the house without needing a mortgage? I believe that considering the price of a house, the cost of a survey, which typically costs between $550 to $700, is money well spent. A survey will show you where are the boundary lines of the property which you are purchasing so that you know whether the property matches the description as it was portrayed in the contract or on the tax map. The survey will also show whether there are any improvements such as buildings, fences, sheds, decks or pools (yes, we have had several instances where pools were built on neighbors’ properties!) on the property you are buying which encroach upon a neighboring property. It will also show whether any such im-provements from neighboring properties encroach upon the property you are buy-ing. If such encroachments are discovered

you can then request that the seller correct them before you close title on the property. In addition, all title insurance policies will contain an exception for any title defects which an accurate survey would have revealed. Having a survey will allow your title insurance company to make sure that the property you are buying matches the legal description on the subdivision map or deed which created the property. If there is a discrepancy, you may not be obligated to close title on the property un-til the discrepancy is resolved. In addition, if, after you close title to the property, a neighbor challenges the location of the property lines between the two proper-ties, your title insurance company will be obligated to defend the challenge and may be obligated to compensate you for any loss that you may incur if your prop-erty is not as it was shown on the survey. Without a survey, you may have to defend an encroachment action out of your own pocket, which would cost far in excess of the cost of the survey. The attorneys of R. C. Shea and Asso-ciates have over 110 years of collective experience representing buyers and we always strongly recommend that the buy-ers obtain a survey before closing title to the property. We also recommend that the buyer review the survey before the closing to make sure that the property as shown on the survey is what they thought they were buying.

OCEAN COUNTY – “It is important to follow food safety guidelines to prevent harmful bacteria from multiplying and causing foodborne illness,” stated Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) public health coordi-nator, pointed out the importance of taking extra precautions and practicing safe food handling when preparing perishable foods, such as meat, poultry, seafood and egg prod-ucts. “When shopping for your barbeque, buy cold foods last, right before checking out. Keep poultry away from other food; grab one of the plastic bags that are handy by the meat and poultry section and put the meat or chicken in the bag. Avoid raw meat or poultry juices dripping on other food. It is important to refrigerate perishable foods within two hours and keep them refriger-ated until ready to use. If food gets packed in a cooler, keep it out of direct sunlight and avoid opening the lid too often. Freeze poultry and ground meat that will not be used in one or two days.” Regenye continued, “We remind people of the importance of hand washing, but it is equally important to keep everything you are using to cook with just as clean. Bacte-ria on raw meat and poultry can be easily spread to other foods by juices dripping from packages, hands and utensils, called cross-contamination. To prevent foodborne illness, do not use the same platter and uten-

LAKEWOOD – Being a f irst-time homebuyer can be a confusing, complex experience. More than 90 Ocean County first-home buyers recently attended a free evening program sponsored by The LLRC (Lakewood Resource and Referral Center) and STEPS (Solution to End Poverty Soon) at the Public Works Complex to gain a bet-ter understanding of what mortgage options are available and how to qualify for them. Lenders and representatives from such local institutions as TD Bank, Investors Savings Bank, Santander, Fulton and FM Home Loans discussed many topics related to the home-buying process, with a special emphasis on lower interest rates and down payment requirements with no Mortgage Insurance. Attendees had the opportunity to discuss

sils for raw or cooked meat and poultry. If you are picnicking away from your home, find out if there is a source of clean water, and if not, bring water for preparation and cleaning. You may choose to pack clean cloths and wet towlettes for cleaning sur-faces and hands. The following steps are offered for safe cooking, more information can also be found at the Ocean County Health Depart-ment website, ochd.org. Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before handling food. Use two cutting boards to keep raw meat, chicken and fish apart from vegetables. Use a food thermometer to check meat, fish and chicken after it is cooked. When taking foods off the grill, put cooked items on a clean plate. Chill food and leftovers in the refrigerator as soon as everyone is done eating. Always wash fruits and vegetables under running water before cutting or eating. Keep eggs in the refrigerator; cook eggs until the yolk is firm Defrost frozen food in the microwave or refrigerator, not the counter. Mayonnaise-based foods need to be kept cold. Bacteria are often present on the rind of melons so it is important to wash the melon thoroughly before cutting. Once cut, refrig-erate the cut pieces of melon. Not sure about quality, expiration, etc. of food, then keep in mind “When in doubt, throw it out.”

and review mortgage products with each lender. Housing counselors from LRRC and STEPS were also available to answer questions. Mayer Hoberman, executive director of social services at the LLRC, said “The LRRC and STEPS sponsored this program because we recognize that first-time and all homebuyers need the understanding and skills to make appropriate and educated decisions during the home buying process.” LRRC offers homeownership seminars twice a month, and counseling on a regular basis, which is required by many lenders to enable clients to take advantage of first-time homebuyer mortgage products. For more information, contact Bassi Ad-eret, housing coordinator at the LRRC, at 732-942-9292 ext. 9115.

ARE YOU ONE OF THE 44 MILLION AMERICANS SUFFERING FROM OSTEOPOROSIS OR OSTEOPENIA?

Through research, the medical community

has discovered methods not only to combat Osteoporosis, but also prevent it. In order to treat this condition, let’s discuss the facts.

• Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become thin and porous, decreasing bone strength and leading to increased risk of breaking a bone. • During their lifetime 50% of all women and 25% of all men over the age of 50 will have an osteoporosis related fracture. • Fractures from osteoporosis are more common than heart attack, stroke and breast cancer combined.• Women and men alike begin to lose bone in their mid-30s. As they approach menopause, women lose bone at a greater rate, from 2-3% per year due to hormonal changes.

RISK FACTORS: Age, sex, tobacco/alcohol use, vertebralcompression fracture, fragility fracture, familyhistory of hip fracture, medical conditions or useof medications that inhibit absorption of nutrients or contribute to bone loss.

HELP IS OUT THERE:Over the past 20 years, treatment and prevention of osteoporosis have come a long way. Solutions can be broken down into 3 categories.

1. Physical Therapy:

By far the most conservative treatment for Osteoporosis is exercise through Physical Therapy. With the correct exercise program, the human body has the ability not only to prevent the loss of bone density, but also increase bone strength via the S.A.I.D. Principle (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands). By effectively increasing the strain or

from Gettysburg College in 1997, majoring in Exercise Science with a focus in Athletic Training. He continued his education at Hahnemann University earning a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy in 1999.

Michael has continued to expand his knowledge through continuing education hours with focus in Orthopedics as well as Geriatric Medicine. He has completed courses in the treatment of osteoporosis and postural changes. In 2005, Michael opened All-Care Physical Therapy Center with focus on personal, one-on-one, hands-on care. Michael has been a member of the American Physical Therapy Association since 1997. Michael’s experience has led him to develop an innovative, pain-free approach to physical therapy.

load on specific bone groups, we are able to facilitate bone mass development. Such activities must be specifically designed to stress bones in a safe manner. These exercises, in conjunction with manual therapy techniques to elongate muscle tissue and reduce compression forces on the bone, can drastically reduce the incidence of fractures. A physical therapist can determine if a simple exercise program can alleviate your symptoms.

2. Nutrition:

Nutrition and lifestyle play a key role in bone loss. Individuals who are not receiving adequate nutrition (low calcium or Vitamin D) or an excessive intake of protein, sodium and caffeine are considered at increased risk. Interventions such as calcium or vitamin supplements have been recommended for many individuals, as research has indicated that 1200-1500mgs of calcium a day along with 7-80 IU of Vitamin D reduced the fracture rate in post-menopausal women by 50%. This is generally a conservative approach and may help in the prevention of Osteoporosis in the post-menopausal female.

Research has shown that the body is better able to utilize calcium consumed in foods such as dairy products, oatmeal, tofu, soy seaweed, dark green vegetables, fish and some types of nuts. For those who are lactose intolerant (meaning they are unable to breakdown calcium into a bone building product) lactase drops may be utilized.

3. Pharmacology:

One of the biggest developments over the past 20 years in the treatment and prevention of Osteoporosis has been in pharmacology. Initially, Hormone Replacement Therapy was the most common intervention. Currently, Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (such as Nolvadex, Evista, Fareston) are more commonly recommended for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women.

Antiresorptive medications or Biophosphates (such as Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel, Reclast, Fortical

and Miacalcin) are now commonly utilized in the treatment of osteoporosis. Biophosphates work by preventing bone destroying osteoclasts from digesting bone.

The final class of pharmacological treatment is a bone forming medication known as Forteo. This is generally prescribed for those osteoporotic patients at high risk for fracture. Currently the FDA only recommends the utilization of this class of drug for 2 years due to potential side effects.

SPECIALIZED TREATMENT

At All-Care Physical Therapy, we specialize in the treatment and prevention of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia. We are one of the only facilities in Ocean County that have been certified in the treatment of Osteoporosis. It is essential that a physical therapist is aware of the risks of treating Osteoporosis and understand the most optimal therapeutic interventions to not only prevent the progression, but combat the disease itself.

Professional Profile

By Joyce Blay Cancer patients have a “breast” friend in Toms River surgical specialist Dr. Barbara P. Schneider, M.D., F.A.C.S., radiation oncology. Dr. Schneider believes in treating the whole patient. “Breast cancer is not just a medical illness, it’s a psy-chological illness,” she tells a visitor. “Patients not only ask themselves, ‘Am I going to live?’ They also ask them-selves, ‘What am I going to look like?’ While Dr. Schneider treats men as well as women, she maintains that women as a group react to a diagnosis of breast cancer differently than men. “Breast cancer is different from any other cancer be-cause breasts are so visible and prominent in a woman,” Dr. Schneider says. “Breast cancer is almost a betrayal of who the patient is as a woman.” A patient undergoing treat-ment for breast cancer may not only suffer the loss of a breast, but the loss of her hair. Dr. Schneider is that patient’s staunch advocate, supported by a network of specialists that work with her to ensure that patients diagnosed with breast cancer receive the

most appropr iate plan of treatment. “I feel very strongly about my patients,” she says. “I give them a treatment plan that addresses all of their needs.” The years have only strength-ened her resolve to continue that practice. Dr. Schneider began her academic career as a biology major at Rensselaer Poly-technic Institute in Troy, NY. In 1977, she graduated from Albany Medical College. She interned at Bronx Municipal Hospital Center in New York City, then completed the rest of her 5-year surgical resi-dency at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. In 1985, Dr. Schneider brought her medical exper-tise to Toms River, NJ, where she opened a private practice. She has hospital pr ivi leg-es with Community Medical Center. Because Dr. Schneider is a woman, she of fers the predominantly female breast cancer patients she treats a uniquely empathetic and com-passionate understanding of their needs. She also offers a range of other surgical procedures in the treatment of various diag-nosed conditions. While Dr. Schneider treats

many different conditions, the majority of her patients are diagnosed with breast cancer. Each breast is as individual as the person being treated, Dr. Schneider maintains. Her goal is to save both patient and breast. As an expert in the technique of oncoplastic surgery, which increases the rate of breast conserva-tion, she has a greater rate of success than many other surgeons nationwide report-ed. Her local recurrence rate following breast conserving surgery is less than 1% com-pared to a nationwide rate of 9.7%. All patients are in good hands as soon as they enter Dr. Schneider’s office, conve-niently located next to Com-munity Medical Center. Dr. Schneider’s two experienced assistants share her philoso-phy, she says. They expertly assess each patient in order to triage their needs prior to seeing Dr. Schneider. Patients praise Dr. Schnei-der’s work and her results in comments posted online. “You and your staff were professional, compassionate and caring,” Gail wrote in her online rating of Dr. Schneider.

“I’d recommend you to anyone.” Another patient expressed gratitude to Dr. Schneider for

the results she achieved. “Thank you for 6 years can-cer free!” Donna exclaimed in her online comment. Still another patient com-mented on Dr. Schneider’s warmth and understanding, as well as the quality of her surgical expertise. “I felt as if you knew me al-though we had just met,” Sue wrote in an online post. “You took all my fears, worries, and concerns put them on a table and tackled them BEFORE I had the chance to verbalize them. You do know the “being” beyond the human and made a scary situation very calm. I had no post- op pain and have never seen such a beautiful incision line.” In 2015, Dr. Schneider re-ceived the Compassionate Doctor Recognition from Vi-tals, a New Jersey organi-zation that annually honors the nation’s favorite doctors based on patient reviews and ratings. For the past 35 years, Dr. Schneider has strived to help

her patients survive, as well as thrive, despite a diagnosis of breast cancer. The odds are increasingly in their favor. “A diagnosis of breast cancer is no longer a death sentence,” Dr. Schneider says. “One of the biggest reasons is the increased use of screen-ing mammograms since the 1980s. Why should anyone check out at age 70 when they may have a good quality of life until they’re 90? At any age, a screening mammogram is the best investment a woman can make in her quality of life.” For further information, visit Dr. Schneider’s Web site at barbaraschneidermd.com. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Schneider’s office, located at 9 Hospital Drive, Suite C210, Toms River, NJ 08755, call 732-244-2060. Office hours are Monday and Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The office is closed on weekends.

Wolfgang Puck’s kitchen

By Wolfgang Puck Summer vacation has arrived for many families across the country. For others, it’s just a few days or weeks away. Par-ents everywhere are facing the challenge of what to do to keep their children in-terested and happy, not to mention well fed, during those long days. Sure, there’s camp to rely on, plus all sorts of sports teams or lessons, family outings, movies, museums, amusement parks and other attractions. But what about that downtime at home, when you want them to do something else other than watch TV or play video games, and they’re tired of reading? That’s the moment, I say, to turn your kitchen into a home cooking school for kids. Summer is an ideal time to teach your children about the pleasures of cooking at home. Tell them that you’re going to make them something they’d love to eat, and you’ll have their complete attention. That’s certainly what my late mother, Maria Puck, used to do when she wanted to get my sisters, my brother and me to settle down. The words “butterscotch pudding” were all she had to speak to get us to behave. Since her recipe for old-fashioned butterscotch pudding involves cooking a hot caramelized sugar syrup to make the butterscotch, it’s definitely not something where you want little helpers to be anywhere near the stove. But even young children can be encouraged to help you measure out the ingredients before the cooking starts, and then sit at-tentively nearby – but safely far enough from the stove – to watch as you explain what you’re doing. There are many good lessons to learn through this recipe. You’ll be able to show them how butter and brown sugar melt together and gradually turn into a rich caramelized butterscotch, how the tiny seeds from inside a split vanilla bean are the source of delicious vanilla flavor, and how cream turns the mixture into a luscious sauce. You can show them how egg yolks, “tempered” with some of the sauce so they’ll stay smooth and not turn into lumps like scrambled egg, not only enrich the sauce but also, together with some cornstarch, thicken it. You can also give them a quick lesson on how to make real whipped cream from scratch, rather than getting it from an aerosol can. And your young audience will also learn an important lesson in patience, since the finished pudding needs to chill in the refrigerator for several hours be-fore serving. But what a reward you’ll have to offer for their good behavior the rest of the afternoon!

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING Serves 4

6 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup (250 mL) loosely packed golden brown sugar 1/4 cup (60 mL) loosely packed dark brown sugar 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise in half, seeds scraped out and reserved1 3/4 cups (435 mL) plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream, divided1 cup (250 mL) plus 2 tablespoons whole milk Pinch of fine sea salt1/4 generous cup (65 mL) cornstarch 6 large cage-free egg yolks In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the butter, both the golden brown and dark brown sugars, and seeds you scraped from the vanilla pod. (Reserve the scraped-out pod, if you like, to put in an airtight sugar canister to make vanilla-scented sugar.) Place the pan over high heat and carefully cook, stirring often, until the mixture turns bubbling and dark brown, 3 to 5 minutes. In a measuring cup or bowl, stir together 1 cup (250 mL) plus 2 tablespoons of the cream and all of the milk. Carefully whisk them into the hot sugar mixture and add the sea salt. Bring the mixture back to a boil, whisking until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat. Put the remaining 3/4 cup (185 mL) cream in the refrigerator to chill. Sift the cornstarch through a fine-meshed sieve into a large heatproof bowl. While whisking continuously, gradually pour the hot cream-sugar mixture into the cornstarch. Return the mixture to the same saucepan and bring to a boil, whisking constantly, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Briskly whisk in a little of the hot butterscotch mixture to temper the eggs. Then, whisk the egg mixture into the re-maining butterscotch in the saucepan; and, while continuing to whisk constantly, bring the mixture almost to a boil, about 1 minute. Pour the custard through a wire-meshed sieve set over a large bowl, pressing it through with a rubber spatula. Ladle the custard into four martini glasses or glass serving bowls. Leave the glasses or bowls at room temperature to cool. Then, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold, up to overnight. Before serving, put the remaining chilled cream in a large bowl. Whisk by hand or with electric beaters until the cream forms soft peaks that droop slightly when the beaters or whisk are lifted out. Remove the plastic wrap from the chilled puddings. Spoon a dollop of whipped cream on top of each pudding. You can even sprin-kle a little brown sugar over the top if you want. Serve immediately.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 11-June 17

OCEAN COUNTY – “Now’s the time to plan ahead for hot and muggy days,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “Heat ranks among the top weather-related killers in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).” Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health De-partment (OCHD) public health coordinator, said, “As summer approaches, forecasters say to expect an increase in temperature and longer and more frequent periods of extreme heat. Our bodies have less chance to recover during hot days and warm nights, placing everyone at risk for heat illness. When temperatures and humidity are high, sweat ceases to evaporate and the body’s natural cooling system slows down or shuts down completely. Very hot weather can cause heat exhaustion, heat stroke and severe respirato-ry conditions, which can be fatal.” Regenye added, “Extreme heat especially endangers seniors, young children, people with disabilities and individuals with breath-ing conditions and other chronic medical conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstruc-tive pulmonary disease and other respiratory

and cardiovascular problems. Those without air-conditioning, fans or access to cooling shelters are also at risk.” Some hot weather tips include: Stay cool, stay hydrated and stay informed. Drink plenty of fluids regardless of your level of activity, even if not thirsty. Drink between two to four cups per hour while working outside. Avoid sugary, caffeinated and alcoholic drinks. Limit sun exposure from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and try to schedule outdoor activities in the early morning. Dress in loose, light-weight, light-colored clothing that covers the skin. Wear sunglass-es and wide-brimmed hat. Apply sunscreen with SPF 15 or more ten minutes before going out; re-apply every two hours. Never leave infants, children or pets in a parked car. Visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org for safety tips during the heat and also information on heat-re-lated illnesses, prevention, symptoms and treatment.
