The Garden of Hope, near Vista Fields, is a sanctuary dedicated to the memory of local children. By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – Families drive by on their way to the soccer fields, either for practice or a game. They’re curious as they wind
around the dirt road at Vista Fields at the Jackson Mills Soccer Complex, past the gazebos and lighthouses and flagpoles on their left. They might stop to read the sign
out front, and most of the time, they keep moving. “You are entering a sanctuary dedicated (Garden - See Page 18)

Jackson Heads Back To School With Updated Curriculum, Safety Projects
–Photo by Jackson School District Teachers ready their classrooms in anticipation of the fi rst day of school, September 6. By Courtney McCann JACKSON – While most students have been spending more time on the beach than hitting the books over the past few months, Jackson School District officials have spent this summer focusing on little else. With students set to start back to school on September 6, the district has spent the summer preparing to welcome them with an updated curriculum, new course offerings and more plans for the future. The highlights of the curriculum updates include the launch of the new EnVisionMATH Common Core curriculum by Pearson at the elementary school level. The series, already in use by other schools in the state, is designed to help parents and students who have experienced frustration with Common Core math by using a common sense approach to math. “It is fully aligned with the New Jersey standards, said Jackson Superintendent Dr. Stephen Genco. “But it’s a common sense approach that we think both our students and our parents will appreciate.” As part of the district’s five-year curriculum review plan, the science curriculum for grades 6 through 12 has been upgraded to align with the Next Generation Science

Standards adopted by the state of New Jersey. The upgrades include new textbooks, online resources and physical updates to the Jackson Middle School’s science labs. At the high school level, the district continues to support its three specialized academies, which provide regimented schedule tracks for students interested in business, digital media and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) respectively. The school is working with area businesses to create internship opportunities for the existing academies to help student get more real world experience in their areas of study. Jackson is also putting plans in motion for a fourth academy focused on arts and humanities that would launch in 2017. Genco sited interest by the students as well as the Jackson community’s strong base in the fine and performing arts as the reasons behind the choice of topic for the new academy. “We have something for high performing math and science students. Something for technology driven students,” Genco said.
“Why wouldn’t you do the same thing for the humanities?” Future projects for the district are also in the works on the facilities side. Genco and school officials have begun work on a plan to install safety vestibules in all buildings. While all school entrances are currently secure, this project would create a second “lobby area” that visitors would need to be buzzed through before they could enter the main building. The project is still in the planning stages and is being balanced with existing facility maintenance as the district works to complete necessary facility improvements within its budget. “Budgets are tight everywhere,” Genco said. “We have to prioritize our projects and how we are using our funds.” With all of the changes and future projects in the works, Genco said communication with the students, parents and community has been key. To that end, the district has launched a new website as well as a phone app that parents can use to have alerts pushed to their smart phones. “In a community like Jackson, the schools are the hub,” Genco said. “The better relationship and communication you have with the community, the stronger school system you have.”
Correction
In the August 20 Jackson Times article, “Diocese Discusses Merging Two Parishes,” a speaker was misidentified. Msgr. Leonard F. Troiano was named as leading the meeting, but the monsignor leads the Diocese in planning for its Cohorts. It was Mike Hintenach, a trustee and member of the core group for St. Monica’s, who lead the meeting. The Jackson Times regrets the error and any inconvenience it may have caused.

Manchester Comic Stopped At Quarter�inals By Jennifer Peacock It sounds like one of those jokes about a bar: jugglers, dancers, a contortionist, singer and comedian walked. Five out of 12 contestants were eliminated on the most recent America’s Got Talent quarterfi nals held August 23 and 24. Unfortunately, one of them was Manchester’s Julia Scotti. “Thank you all for your support and votes for Julia on AGT this year! Although she didn’t advance it was a fantastic experience and we appreciate every one of you,” Cathy Caldwell, Scotti’s agent, said in Facebook post to fans. “We love you guys and will never forget the support and love you showed us back. Thank you!” But Scotti doesn’t have too much time to mourn what might have been. Her schedule is booked solid with comedy shows in New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, and of course, New Jersey. Scotti took to her social media outlets after her AGT stint to thank fans. “I am so happy to of had this experience. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all of your support I love you all!” Scotti wrote Aug. 26, safe and sound in the Garden State.
Scotti emerged from backstage to George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone” and performed a three-minute set about still being single despite her looks. But she loves the single life. “I was married. I suck at it,” she told the audience. “And if I ever get married again it’s going to be to a 90-year-old, chain-smoking billionaire who’s about two cheeseburgers away from ‘til death do us part.” She said she might, however, consider a prisoner in Minnesota she only has to visit once a year. Scotti spoke with The Manchester Times before her August appearances on AGT and expressed gratitude for the support she has received locally. “It’s been an incredible couple of months. The support I’ve received from all over the country, actually the world, is amazing. The best part, though, is walking into the supermarket and having people from right here in Manchester Township walk up and tell me that they are pulling for me,” Scotti told The Times. “Thanks to all of you!” For more information about upcoming performances, visit juliascotti.com.

37 and Adams Avenue in Toms River, for a store there. The lots where Quick Chek will go were the old candle shop, a furniture store and several single-family homes, which now sit behind chain link fence awaiting demolition. With multiple planned or just-opened locations in the Ocean-Monmouth county area, Quick Chek’s continued growth and expansion isn’t county specific but part of the company’s strategy to fill a need for quality food and fuel at value prices, said Russ Mensch, of the public relations firm representing Quick Chek. Founded in 1967, Quick Chek is privately held. Its first location was Dunellen. The convenience store recently opened stores in Howell, Lakewood and Beachwood. The latest plan calls for expansion to Toms River, Brick and Jackson. The chain follows a similar business model to Wawa with electronic kiosks to order fully-customizable subs, salads, soups, sandwiches and beverages plus dairy and grocery items. Mensch said that each store creates 40 to 50 new local jobs and generates approximately $1 million in tax revenues. The three new locations – Lakewood, Howell and Beachwood -- have created 135 jobs including 24 management positions and will generate approximately $3 million in tax revenue. “That is a positive impact on the local economies,” he said. The latest store to open is a new Beachwood store, the first to offer pharmacy and fuel. The site opened July 18 and employs 45 team members. The previous location just south on Route 9 was closed prior to the opening of the new facility. A
The Jackson Times, September 3, 2016, Page 5 Berkeley Quick Chek farther south on Route 9 has the store plus gas station model. Quick Chek opened 34 stores in the past eight years, including five stores to date in their current fiscal year, bringing the total number of stores to 144. Coming Soon Under “Coming Soon” section of Quick Chek’s website, a Jackson location, 281 South New Prospect Road, is slated for a Fall 2016 opening. Jackson also has a Quick Chek at Leesville Road. The South New Prospect Road store, which will also have a gas station, is nearing completion with the framework of the store, its signage and a hiring notification sign in place. Also under “Coming Soon” is the Brick location, Route 70, for a summer 2017 opening date, with land there recently cleared and construction equipment and infrastructure materials on site. Ten more locations are listed as opening in New Jersey between fall 2016 and summer 2017, at Quick Chek.com/ComingSoon. The Toms River site at the Fischer-Adams-Route 37 location is not yet listed as a “Coming Soon” store. Township Planner Jay Lynch said the northeast corner of Route 37 and Fischer Blvd is now owned by Quick Chek, who gained site plan approvals for a store and gas station there. “It was approved by the Planning Board a while back and they resubmitted for a plan amendment in order to increase the size of the site,” said Lynch, adding the area enclosed by the chain link fence includes the entire site of the proposed Quick Chek. “The site plan has been approved by the Planning Board and the applicant is in the process of addressing the conditions of approval.” Recently Opened Patrick Jeffery, the Engineer of Record for
Beachwood Borough, said the new Quick Check store there on Route 9 is approximately 6,520 square feet and includes outdoor seating areas for approximately 16 people. The new store also includes four fueling islands with two dispensers per island. Each dispenser provides fuel pumps on each side. In total, approximately 16 vehicles can be refueled at one time. The site also contains vacuums and air compressors for vehicle maintenance. Jeffery said the site design contains provisions for the management of stormwater including a basin with an oil/water separator to minimize any spilled petroleum product from entering the basin. There are sidewalks primarily along the Route 9 frontage. “Route 9 was widened to provide for turning lanes and a shoulder to improve traffic flow into and out of the site along Route 9. A permit from NJDOT was required for this work,” Jeffery said. Several overnights of road construction detoured Route 9 traffic through the adjacent grid of residential streets in Beachwood. Jeffery said the application before the borough’s Land Use Board received multiple approvals as the property was located within multiple zoning districts and a resolution was required that permitted the zoning provisions to be applicable to the entire site. One resolution provided conditional use approval for the service station while another provided preliminary and final major site plan approval with variances and provided amended preliminary and final site plan approval. For the Howell location, which also opened this year, the land was cleared to also make way for a CVS and an Investors Bank. New sidewalks and a stormwater basin were part of the improvements
to the site.
Quick Chek Execs In recent statements, several executives at Quick Chek explained their business model has changed from the smaller, strip-mall storefronts to standalone spots that hope to become the “go-to place” for customers. “Everything we do is to satisfy our customers, and our business has evolved as our customer’s needs have evolved…from being the go-to place for fill in groceries, milk, bread, and cold cuts in our market to our position today as the leading fresh convenience food market in the NY/NJ Metro area,” said John Schaninger, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Quick Chek. One of its competitors, Wawa, has grown to 720 locations across an area larger than where Quick Chek covers, into Florida, Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Wawa continues to renovate its older stores with upgraded features, and build new locations in Edison, Hamilton and Somerdale in New Jersey. 7-11 has thousands of locations, most of which are a convenience store and not added gas station. There are 1,200 7-11s in California alone, in comparison to its competitors’ numbers. “Our mission is to be a ‘Great Place to Work, a Great Place to Shop, and a Great Place to Invest,’’ said Quick Chek chief executive officer Dean Durling, whose family-owned company has locations throughout New Jersey, New York’s Hudson Valley and Long Island. In addition to the above locations, other nearby Quick Cheks include the convenience storefront in Point Pleasant, gas and convenience stores in Manchester, and more locations in Farmingdale and Wall. No locations exist south of the Bayville one, at Central Parkway and Route 9.

We Love Them To Death Today’s highest grossing box office releases are about animals. They include: “Finding Dory,” “The Jungle Book,” “Zootopia,” “The Secret Life of Pets,” and “Kung Fu Panda.” Nearly half of our households include a dog and nearly 40 percent have a cat. Two thirds of us view them as family members and cherish them accordingly. We love our animals to death. Literally... For every cat, dog or other animal that we love and cherish, we put 500 through months of caging, crowding, deprivation, mutilation, and starvation, before we take their very lives, cut their dead bodies into little pieces, and shove
those into our mouths. And that doesn’t even include Dory and billions of her little friends, because we haven’t figured out how to count individual aquatic animals that we grind up for human or animal feed. The good news is that we have a choice every time we visit a restaurant or grocery store. We can choose live foods - yellow and green vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, grains, as well as a rich variety of grain and nut-based meats and dairy products. Or, we can choose dead animals, their body parts, and other products of their abuse. What will it be? Henry Traconi Toms River

L������ T� T�� E����� Dangerous Language
Once again Donald Trump has put his foot in his mouth causing voters, even Republicans, to seriously question whether it is just a businessman not accustomed to political speech, as his supporters argue, or a reflection of a serious, maybe even mental, character flaw that clearly disqualifies him for the presidency. While I do not believe he really meant to encourage the assassination of Hillary Clinton when he referred to what Second Amendment supporters might do if she is President, his words are again inflammatory and dangerous. We live in turbulent times with many angry, often disturbed, people who have more guns than any person needs for legitimate self defense. In their warped minds they could conceivably interpret his remarks as license to actually kill Clinton before she can appoint Supreme Court justices that would be contrary to their interests. It also wrongly suggests that all advocates of the Second Amendment are prone to possible violence. For those who argue we need a good businessman, despite his multiple bankruptcies and law suits against him, or a tough leader in our troubled world, his negatives are greater as they threaten our American way of life that still stresses civility and dignity for all people. Seymour Brotman Manchester
Letter Was Biased The recent “Don’t Vote For Tr ump” letter (August 20 issue) really highlights the reason the public simply doesn’t trust politicians anymore, as the writer of this blatantly dishonest piece (a former Toms River Mayor) presents a totally biased viewpoint, without any attempt at checking out the facts -- quite easy to do with today’s internet sources. While we all certainly honor and respect a Gold Star mother and the unforgettable heroism of her son, blindly chastising Mr. Trump for his comments after Mr. K han’s appearance at the Democratic convention is really out there! Didn’t he eve n b ot he r t o rev iew Mr. Khan’s background at all? Again, we all respect the great sacrifice of Mr. Khan’s son several years ago along with the many American heroes of that war. However, Mr. Khan (the “guest” speaker at the Democratic convention) has an interesting “resume:” An immigration attorney specializing in obt aining American Visas for wealthy mid-east clients; co-founder of “Journal of Shiria Law” in the U.S.; worked for the law firm which represents Saudi Arabian Government in affairs with the U.S. It is simply shocking that a former mayor of a wellknown N.J. town could
Editorial Make Yourself Heard
The people of Jackson face an array of issues – taxes, traffic, the environment, education. Issues that will impact Jackson for years to come. And no doubt you have something to say about them. So what can you do to ensure that your voice gets heard? First and foremost, town council meetings. Let your officials know you’re
watching. You can also write letters to the editor to papers like ours. People follow their local papers and by writing about important issues, you spark vital discussion on topics that affect your life. Don’t allow yours to be a lone voice in the wilderness. Make yourself heard.
write such a one-sided, un-researched, biased letter. You would think that after years in the political arena, he would recognize a political “plant” for what it is! Doesn’t take a genius to see this one! Such as shame -- again, a prime example why no-one trusts politicians anymore. Tom Flynn Barnegat
Yes, Vote For Trump The author of “Don’t Vot e for Tr u mp” (Aug ust 20) is w rong. Mr. Trump did not disparage M rs. K a h n! He made an observation that she never said a word, which is a culturally ingrained instinct. In fact, didn’t anyone observe that Mrs. Kahn never, but never, looked directly into the camera? Capt ai n K a h n m ig ht be alive today, if vetting was in practice du r ing his time. And have we forgotten the 3,000 Americans lost on 9/11? The words out of Donald Trump’s mouth are nothing compared to the lies out of Hillary Clinton’s mouth. Also, isn’t Hillary Clinton’s reckless handling of E -m ai ls p ot e nt ial ly making her a target for black mail? Someone in cyb e r s p a c e s u r ely h a s those e-mails. M. Pellicano Manchester Twp.
Don’t Vote For Hillary
In response to the August 20 letter writer of “Don’t Vote For Trump,” I can’t believe how one-sided you are. If you have so much compassion, I ask you as a mother, where is your rage, and what opinion do you have about Hillary Clinton lying to the mothers of Benghazi right to their face in front of their deceased son’s coffins. Yes, I have compassion, empathy, and my prayers and support go to all parents of those serving our count r y and those who died for our count r y. I know first-hand what war can do, I am the daughter of a WWII veteran who suffered PTSD all his life. G row i ng up w it h t hat, I thin k it’s disgracef ul for anyone to pick and choose who should get the respect of those defending our beautiful country for political reasons. That being said, that’s what t he let t e r “Don’t Vote For Trump” is, it’s political. Happy to say, I am voting for Donald Tr ump so we can make A mer ica g reat again. What a way to honor those fallen and those still in battle. H i l la r y Cl i nt on i s a danger to America and Americans. She doesn’t know fact from fiction. She’s a pathological liar and I say don’t vote for Hillary. Angela Dipilla Manchester

From The Desk Of Congressman Chris Smith Smith’s Sudan Trip Comes With Zero-Tolerance Policy
Congressman Chris Smith NEW JERSEY -- Just back from South Sudan, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), Chairman of the House Africa Subcommittee, obtained a personal pledge from South Sudanese President Salva Kiir and a separate commitment from Defense Minister Kuol Manyang Juuk to issue a zero-tolerance policy for all armed forces against rape, sexual violence and human trafficking. The commitment came in meetings with Kiir and Smith on August 27 in Kiir’s presidential compound in Juba, and in a
separate meeting with the defense minister and his top generals. Pervasive sexual violence by South Sudanese soldiers recently victimized American and international aid workers at the Terrain compound in the capital city of Juba. One of the rape victims—who asked for anonymity—is from Smith’s congressional district. “All victims of violence deser ve protection and assistance,” said Smith, author of four laws designed to combat human trafficking—including the landmark Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, which, among other things, created the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons at the U.S. State Department, mandates the annual Trafficking in Per-
sons report and provides for up to life imprisonment for human trafficking. “Although South Sudanese law currently prohibits rape and sexual abuse, a presidential decree on zero-tolerance for such abuse would send a strong message that such violations will carry immediate consequences—arrest and jail—whether committed by gover nment soldiers or security forces, armed opposition fighters, militias allied to the government or opposition or rival ethnic forces,” Smith explained. “The zero-tolerance decree can be issued and implemented immediately—as promised by the president himself—and could reduce pervasive sexual violence against women and children. These war crimes
Realty Fee Revenue Outpacing Last Year OCEAN COUNTY – Realty Transfer Tax collected from real estate transactions for the fi rst half of the year resulted in New Jersey receiving $16,760,371 in revenue while Ocean County realized a revenue total of $6,760,755 from Realty Transfer fees. Ocean County’s first half revenue total (from January to June) was higher compared to last year’s amount of $5,855,799 for the same six-month period. In the fi rst six months,
the Ocean County Clerk’s Off ice recorded 11,485 deeds and 11,059 mortgages, as compared to 11,107 deeds and 10,987 mortgages in the fi rst half of 2015. The County Clerk’s Office placed on record 41,311 other documents such as notices of settlements and assignments of mortgages for a total of 63,855 documents recorded in the initial six months of this year. For the same period last year, 42,180 various documents were placed on
record for a total of 64,274. While Ocean County’s first half recording revenue was $904,956 higher than last year’s, New Jersey’s receipts increased by $3,583,228 rising from $13,177,143 i n 2015 to $16,760,371 for the first six months of 2016. The County Clerk’s Recording Division collected a total of $23,521,126 in revenue for documents placed on record for the first half of 2016 as compared to $19,032,942 last year.
must stop and the perpetrators held to account.” Smith also pressed for unfettered access of humanitarian workers to the estimated 4.8 million people in South Sudan – well over one-third of the population – who are facing severe food shortages. The most recent State Department human rights report, as well as similar reports from international organizations and South Sud a nese civil societ y groups, cites widespread human rights violations throughout the country.
These include ethnic-based extrajudicial killings, mass displacement of civilians, rape and sexual slavery through unrestrained trafficking in persons, arbitrary arrests and detentions, k id nappings and the recruitment and use of child soldiers. Smith praised the U.S. Embassy team headed by Ambassador Molly McPhee for their efforts to thwart famine and bloodshed. A U.N. resolution on South Sudan considered this month includes an arms embargo; it would be
voted on by mid-September with a separate subsequent vote on the timetable for implementation. While in South Sudan, Smith had meetings with Ellen Loej, head of the U.N. Mission in South Sudan, Juba Archbishop Paulino Lokodu Loro, U.S. Ambassador Mary Catherine McPhee, Hafeez Wani from the NGL forum, Minister of Defense Kuol Manyanh Juuk, President Salva Kiir Mayardiit, 1st Vice President Taban Deng Gai and Minister of Finance Stephen Dhieru Dau.

Pirates Day Coming Back To Barnegat
BARNEGAT – Pirates, pirates and more pirates will follow the treasure map to downtown Barnegat on September 10 for the free family festivities that are expanded this year at Pirates Day. Pirates Day in Barnegat runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on East Bay Avenue with an all-day schedule of entertainment for all ages, and continues at 7 p.m. with an outdoor concert at the public dock. The event includes pirate-themed re-enactors, a huge vendor-craft fair, live music on two bandstands, an enlarged kids’ entertainment area, a farmers market, a car show, food and more. Parking for Pirates Day is made easy with shuttle buses running a continuous loop from remote lots at the Barnegat Township Municipal Complex and the rear of St. Mary’s Church, both located on West Bay Avenue just off Garden State Parkway Exit 67. The annual event is sponsored by Barnegat Township, the Barnegat-Waretown Chamber of Commerce and Manahawkin Kia Jeep Ram Dodge. Chamber President Jerry Thompson, of The Van Dyk Group, said there will be more pirates than ever at this year’s event. Back this year is the nationally known magician David Engel. Additional pirate troupes and entertainers are being added to the already-lively scenario that has made Pirates Day a popular draw every year. The event attracts 12,000 to 14,000 people not only from town, but regionally and as far away as the major metropolitan areas. An opening ceremony starts at 9:30 a.m. with color guard observances and singer Jim Kelley presenting the patriotic songs that were recently received with a standing
ovation at the Lakewood Blue Claws stadium. Dressing like a pirate is encouraged, and rewarded with prizes in several age categories. All the better when encountering the swarthy teams of professional pirate re-enactors, including Valhalla’s Pirates, Ye Pirate Brotherhood and the Sea Dogs. Register for the contest at the Pirates Cove section of the festivities. The lineup of bands is: Jersey Sure Cats from 10 a.m. to noon; 40 North Band from noon to 2 p.m., September’s Brew from 2 to 4 p.m. Then at 7 p.m. evening entertainment moves to the public dock on East Bay Avenue, starting with crowd favorite Tommy Edwards as Sir Rod. The addition of a Kids Zone last year, said Thompson, was a huge success made possible by a donation from Manahawkin Kia Jeep Ram Dodge. The Kids Zone brings gaming trailers, inflatable bounce houses, obstacle course, trackless train and more to the field across from the fire company. Dealership General Manager Blaise Scibetta said that this year, they are also bringing 20 to 30 cars, trucks, mini-vans and sport utility vehicles. Giveaways, gift cards and coupons will also be part of the excitement. Say “arrgh” and chomp down on festival food whose sales benefit community organizations. For instance, St. Mary and St. Paul Coptic Church will be selling Mediterranean specialties again this year, as well as local favorites from the community organizations and the restaurants on East Bay Avenue.

BlueClaws, Phillies Extend Player Development Contract
LAKEWOOD – The BlueClaws and Philadelphia Phillies secured a four-year extension of their Player Development Contract. With the four-year extension, the BlueClaws will remain the South Atlantic League affiliate of the Phillies through at least the 2020 season. “The Phillies are pleased to extend our partnership with the BlueClaws,” said Steve Noworyta, Phillies Assistant Director of Player Development. “This is a top-class facility with outstanding fan support in a great community. It’s a tremendous place for our players to continue their development and we’re excited to continue the relationship.” Noworyta and BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow formally signed the papers on the field in a ceremony prior to the August 23 BlueClaws game. The BlueClaws have been a Phillies affiliate since their 2001 inception. In that time, the team has won three South Atlantic League championships (2006, 2009, & 2010) and, in 2010, became the first South Atlantic League team since 1993-1994 (Savannah) to win back-to-back league titles. This year, the BlueClaws are in first place with less than two weeks remaining in the season as Lakewood tries to get back to the post-season for fourth time in franchise history. Sixty-nine former BlueClaws have gone on to play in the Major Leagues, with 42 of those players debuting with the Phillies. Ryan Howard was the first to debut, on September

Current Phillies that played with Lakewood include Howard (2002), Carlos Ruiz (2001), Maikel Franco (2011-12), Cameron Rupp (2011), Severino Gonzalez (2013), Hector Neris (2011), Freddy Galvis (2008), and Aaron Altherr (2011-12). Former Phillies first-round pick JP Crawford, now with Triple-A Lehigh Valley and considered one of the top prospects in all of baseball, played for Lakewood in 2013-14, while Double-A Reading teammates Dylan Cozens (2015) and Rhys Hoskins (2014), who are 1-2 in Minor League Baseball in home runs, are both former BlueClaws as well. “The partnership between the BlueClaws and Phillies has been tremendous for the BlueClaws and the entire Jersey Shore. Many future Phillies and big league stars have played here, and we look forward to the next great wave of future Phillies over the next several seasons,” said BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow. “We are excited to extend our agreement with the Phillies.” Ryan Howard (#29) and Cole Hamels (#19) are the only two former BlueClaws players to have their numbers retired by the team. The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment. They have led the South Atlantic League and New Jersey in attendance in all 15 years of existence.

Library System Expands ESL Program
OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Library is making a difference in the lives of residents seeking to make English their second (or third, fourth or fifth) language through a grant that began last fall. Thanks to a $25,000 multi-year grant presented to the Ocean County Library Foundation from the OceanFirst Foundation, the English as a Second Language
program was started at two library branches. “We have been very happy to provide this opportunity to serve our customers who may be new to Ocean County and may not speak English as their first language,” Rita Oakes, Ocean County Library Chief Librarian said. The Upper Shores Branch, 112 Jersey City Ave., Lavallette, coordinated the program from October 2015 through May 2016 while
the Lakewood Branch, 301 Lexington Ave., Lakewood, began its classes in January and will run through the end of the year. The classes facilitated by the Upper Shores Branch were held at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Seaside Heights. An average of five students attended the class on a weekly basis. The program will expand to a third branch starting September 10. The Lacey Branch, 10
www.micromediapubs.com
East Lacey Road, Forked River will offer free classes every Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. Lacey Branch Manager Nancy Bonta Voitko said “We have successfully hosted English conversation classes here at the Lacey branch with our OCL library literacy volunteer, Joan Finn, for the past three years, and are looking forward to hosting ESL classes in Lacey in September.” “Joan has been leading conversation classes since 2013 and her classes have included patrons from China, Mexico, Peru, Costa Rica, Poland and the Republic of Georgia. One young man from Peru came here in 2014 with his grandparents. He attended Joan’s weekly conversation class and was tutored for eight months; within one year he qualified, tested for the Army National Guard, and passed. He is now a member of the U.S. Army National Guard. This is but one of many stories of people who have come through our English conversation programs; and we hope to help many more by continuing with ESL classes,” Voitko said. Cathi Sheridan, Branch Manager of the Lakewood Branch, said classes are offered in Lakewood every Saturday morning. “Our classes began with over 30 students and a waiting list of 20 plus. We have been averaging around 12 students during the summer months as many adult students work on the weekends during this time. Most students are from Mexico, but we also have had students from Peru, Chile, Egypt, Ukraine, Honduras and more,” said Sheridan. In describing the background of students attending the class, Sheridan said a student named Judith had “just received her green card and she is planning to stop working as a housekeeper and to apply for a job in a factory in order to get benefits.” Others have also found confidence in themselves by being able to communicate in English. “There are so many success stories seen through this program which is assisting people to learn English and providing them access to more opportunities. Some of our English language learners have gone on to become citizens, get their GEDs, take real estate and accounting exams and find better jobs. It is gratifying to see the change in their lives,” Sheridan said. For more information about the Ocean County Library’s English as a Second Language program call 732-363-1435 ext. 2620 or 609-693-8566.

Smart Phone Connectivity Technology offers all of us the opportunity to do amazing things every day that would have been unimaginable even 10 years ago. The advent and popularity of smartphones, such as the iPhone, has made our lives more convenient to the world around us than it has ever been. Our goal is to allow us an opportunity to connect people to the world around them in ways they may have forgotten, or never known in the first place; using the most advanced hearing technology available. Several hearing aid manufacturers including GN Resound and Starkey have developed hearing instruments which are iPhone compatible. What do patients like the most about this interactive breakthrough in hearing technology? Here’s what we’ve gathered: The ability to stream phone calls,
music, videos, FaceTime calls, and Siri from you cell phone straight to your hearing aids. The ability to make subtle adjustments for environmental changes with the touch of a finger, and that your iPhone remembers those settings, so the next time you return to your favorite places, you won’t need to make the same adjustments. The ability to use your iPhone as an additional microphone during conversations-place it on a table at a busy restaurant and connect with friends, family, and other loved ones more clearly. The ability to use your iPhone as a detector to find lost or misplaced hearing aids…GPS. The convenience of all of these features in one handheld, easy-to-use device that you already carry with you.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
“Consumer Reports” Is Frightening People Needlessly By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I was aghast after reading the Consumer Reports post that just revealed 15 herbs which they feel are dangerous for you. Their headline reads “15 Supplement Ingredients to Always Avoid” and goes on to say “These supplement ingredients can cause organ damage, cardiac arrest and cancer.” Man, that just scares the bejeebers out of you, doesn’t it? Success – that is their goal. It’s intent is to spark anxiety about natural remedies. It is so superbly crafted that it will terrify the public into the arms of white coat professionals who can prescribe medications, which are obviously safer because they are FDA-approved. (Yes, I’m being sarcastic again, don’t you know me by now?!) As an example, Consumer Reports includes green tea (Camellia sinensis) on their “dangerous” list because it is found in weight loss aids. They say green tea powder may cause you to experience “dizziness, ringing in the ears…glaucoma…elevated blood pressure/heart rate, liver damage and possibly death.” That is green tea, you realize right? I’m not suggesting that these potentials don’t exist, or that you don’t have to worry about side effects at all (because you do), but I’m convinced that the weight loss medications are more dangerous. Maybe that’s just me, I’m a pharmacist remember? I have access to those long and boring package inserts that come folded up and when you unfold them and read them, you’ll need a magnifying
glass to read all the potential disasters that could occur. So they’re telling you that green tea is dangerous, and they list “possibly death” as a risk. Nowhere in this article did they mention that in 1997, one of the most horrific drug recalls ever to occur happened with weight loss drugs. Google “fen-phen” and you’ll learn that fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were yanked because they destroyed heart valves and led to strokes and heart attacks. This problem unfortunately could occur in people years after stopping. Yet, they list green tea as causing “possibly death.” Comfrey root was another one on their list where the benefits claimed were “relieves cough” and “treats cancer.” Comfrey has been used for centuries, and is considered very safe by herbalists, yet Consumer Reports posted “possibly death” for herb too. Chemotherapy is the medication alternative to treating cancer. If you are interested in the 15 supplements they named, and you’d like to know the drug(s) that could be used instead of these “dangerous ingredients,” sign up for my newsletter and I’ll send an brilliant piece I wrote that includes medications which work in place of 15 herbs so you can see what is supposedly safer. No matter how bad herbal ingredients are painted with scary warnings that are scrounged up, some medications carry the same exact warnings. It’s not my opinion, a quick look at their patient package insert will prove it.

Garden:
Continued From Page 1
to the memory of our beloved children who have gone too soon,” the sign reads. “Please honor this peaceful place and our children with respect and care.” It’s like turning to a page in the newspaper or flipping the channel to a news report about a child dying, Bill Valentine said. You don’t want to know about it. You don’t want to think about it. It can never happen to your family. Until it does. But the gazebos and lighthouses and flagpoles are a quiet place to reflect, to mourn, to love, for those who have lost a child. Jackson’s Garden of Hope was completed and dedicated last summer. Families and friends gathered to light candles and remember the “angels” that left too soon. Each gazebo has a paver floor, and the pavers are engraved with names and birthdates and the dates of passing. Some children whose names are etched lived into adulthood; others, the day they died is the day they were born. Valentine said he doesn’t focus on negative dates, but on birthdates and other happy anniversaries. He’s not sure when his parents passed, and tries not to think of the date his 21-year-old daughter, Christina, died. She’s been gone two years this August. Her birthday is October 21. Valentine built the garden for her, as evidenced by its nautical theme, which Christina loved, and built it for others, who joined “a club no one wants to be in.
The dues are too high to be in,” he said last year. The pavers that were laid last year show some signs of wear. The names are legible but faded. Others look newly laid, the names and dates still black. Some have candles or knickknacks or even favorite toys laid near them. Christina’s is covered with petals. All of them have families and friends who mourn for them. There were 87 engraved pavers when the Garden was dedicated last year. Today there are 111 such pavers. Only Jackson families can request the pavers. Some are for children just lost. Others are new to the Garden, but only because the families just found out about it or didn’t know how to get in touch with Valentine immediately. “The families have shown overwhelming support, I think [the garden] has done a lot of good for a lot of people. When I go there I always see signs that people have been there,” Valentine said. “The public, when they hear about it, they love it. It’s just that, because it is what it is, people don’t want to know about it. If you haven’t lost a child, you don’t really want to know that this exists.” The Garden was built by volunteers and paid for by donors and continues because of volunteers and donors. Those who maintain the Garden are hoping someone will donate a shed where volunteers can keep tools that maintain the Garden. The website, jacksonsgardenofhope.org, will take you the group’s active Facebook page.

Chronic Ankle Instability by Rebecca Kashdan, DPT, Jackson Location
With every step you take, your feet are the only connection between your body and the ground. Your feet support you and transmit the force from each step through your ankles, through your lower leg, and to the rest of your body. Many people have, or will have, a sprained ankle at some point throughout their lifetime. An ankle sprain can impact the way you move whether you are a competitive athlete or simply walking around the grocery store and can lead to a chronic condition called ankle instability. WHAT IS A SPRAINED ANKLE AND WHY IS CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITY A BIG DEAL? Your ankle is made up of several bones that not only allow you to point and flex your ankle, but also allow you to tilt your foot inward (inversion) and outward (eversion) so that you can adjust to uneven surfaces such as cobblestones, a sandy beach, or divots in your back yard. The bones in your ankle are connected by several ligaments, a type of connective tissue, on both the inside and outside to increase the stability of the joint. When you experience a sprained ankle, usually the ankle rolls inward resulting in over-stretching the ligaments on the outside of the ankle. Occasionally the ankle is forced outward resulting in over-stretching of the ligaments on the inside of the ankle; how-
mild to moderate tear, and grade III meaning there is a significant tear in the ligaments. Symptoms may also include swelling, pain, bruising, and difficulty putting weight on the affected foot. If you have experience a sprained ankle with any of these symptoms you should see your doctor.
therapy will not repair a torn ligament; however, the therapists at All-Care are trained to develop a program that will promote healing as well as maximize the stability in your ankle by strengthening the surrounding musculature.
Chronic ankle instability is the result of several factors causing a person to sprain their ankle repeatedly. The first factor is over-stretched or torn ligaments resulting in decreased ankle stability. The second factor is muscle imbalance. When the ligaments are stretched or torn, the muscles and tendons surrounding the ankle may also be stretched and irritated, resulting in muscle weakness. The third factor is impaired proprioception. Proprioceptors are tiny nerve receptors located in soft tissue throughout the body that sense your position in space (these receptors allow you to touch your pointer finger to your nose with your eyes closed). The proprioceptors in the ankle are extremely important when it comes to balance and the ability to adjust your ankle on uneven surfaces to prevent falling. When the tissues surrounding the ankle are disrupted the proprioceptors do not collect the information that they need to help you adjust. All of these factors combined make up an ugly recipe for repeated ankle sprains as well as increasing the risk for falling. An unstable ankle can change the way the forces are transmitted from the foot through the rest of your body causing problems beyond your foot and ankle.
While proper footwear can provide excellent support for a person with chronic ankle instability, exercising barefoot in a controlled environment helps build natural stability. Often patients with ankle instability perform physical therapy exercises without shoes to increase reliance on the natural stabilizing muscles instead of relying on support from your shoes. You may notice that if you stand on one foot with a supportive sneaker and compare it to standing on one foot without shoes, you tend to “wobble” more without the shoes. That is exactly why we focus on barefoot stability. While barefoot exercise in a controlled environment can be beneficial, high impact barefoot training such as running or jumping without proper conditioning can lead to many other injuries. Make sure to speak with your doctor or physical therapist before beginning your own barefoot program.
PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP!
ever, that is much less common. Ankle sprains are often graded based on the severity of over-stretching with grade I meaning the ligaments are overstretched but not torn, grade II meaning there is a
Physical therapy can help to break the cycle of chronic ankle instability by preventing future ankle sprains. We use exercises that focus on normalizing muscle imbalances, restoring normal motion, and improving ankle proprioception. Your physical therapist will evaluate your imbalances in order to create a program specifically designed for you. For instance, if you feel fine while standing on flat stable surfaces but you have difficulty on a plush carpet or an uneven sidewalk, your therapist may have you practice standing and walking on unstable surfaces to functionally strengthen your ankle stabilizing muscles.

A significant percentage of the motor vehicles that travel though our community are either uninsured or underinsured. To protect against the harms and losses caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists, automobile insurance companies are obligated by law to provide uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to those motorists who purchase Standard policies. Although underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage is not mandatory, typically they are sold hand-inhand with UM endorsements and are found in virtually all Standard automobile insurance policies in New Jersey. As the name suggests, UM /UIM coverage is that element of an insured’s own policy of insurance under which he or his family may be compensated for injuries and losses suffered at the hands of an uninsured or underinsured motorist. This coverage also applies when you are injured as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle. UM/UIM insurance is very inexpensive yet very important. It is designed to protect you and your fam-
ily. For instance, Michael J. Deem Esq. you are sitting at a red light minding your business when all of the sudden a dr unk r uns a red light, crashes into your vehicle and causes you to spend the next week in the hospital with multiple permanent, internal injuries. Your only source of compensation for pain, suffering and unpaid medical bills may come from your UM/UIM insurance policy if the drunk was uninsured or underinsured. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. And although the failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment many people deliberately do not carry insurance or do not realize that their insurance policy has expired or been cancelled. Never rely upon a stranger to protect you and your family. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is your responsibility. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Cooking Up Family Recipes
Dear Joel I was hoping that you can help me with a sensitive issue. My mother is 88 years old and lives in an adult community in Lakewood. All of her life she has been a wonderful cook and an amazing baker as well. My mother has never done any of her cooking or baking from recipe books or anything that is handwritten. It has all been in her head and done by heart. I want to take these recipes and write them down, so when she is gone I can keep her delicious foods alive and pass it on for generations. I don’t want to hurt her feelings but am concerned that she will think that I am being insensitive.
Answer I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself when reading your question. Your mom is 88 years old and realizes, as do we all, that one day she will pass on. You are paying her a very big compliment
yet are afraid of hurting her feelings. Tell her exactly what you want and I am 100 percent sure she would love to share with you all that she can. You can also go to her home once a week and observe her cooking and write it down while watching. I would then transfer it to a computer fi le. There is also recipe software that is available at the major retailers. May I also suggest going to Carole Walter baking school online. It is a fantastic web site that is inexpensive and chock full of recipes. Have fun! I enjoyed your email. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of September 3-September 10
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Breathe new life into old routines. Paying close attention to the tiniest things and adding a unique touch could ensure your future is better than average. Make necessary changes in the earliest part of the week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Being selfish is necessary sometimes. Do what is in your best interests, not what will be profitable or expedient for other people. Use your diplomatic skills within the confines of business situations as this week unfolds. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Sound strategies include knowing when to keep quiet. Although you may be flattered to be given an opportunity to voice an opinion it may not be in your best interests to do so. Play it close to your chest in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The next few days are the best ones for networking and making new contacts. Avoid making major purchases or commitments in the last half of the week. The week ahead can bring benefits if you sidestep confrontations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Budget-conscious attitudes are broken down by compassion. No matter how strict you are about spending someone could wheedle a few dollars out of your pocket in the week ahead. Launch new projects as soon as possible. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Enjoy the fruits of your labors. In the week ahead you might receive applause for your generosity, leadership abilities or wisdom. Make commitments, promises and agreements as early in the week as possible to avoid disputes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep the best and highest in mind. Your wants and needs might be well under control and used to good purpose in the week ahead. A generous spirit will help you survive when people are difficult to deal with. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Focus on setting reasonable goals this week. Put something away for a rainy day this week. You will learn that it is better to save your pennies than to waste them on passing whims. Loved ones may share your ambitions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Give in with good grace. You may need to compromise to achieve harmony with others. Favors may be asked. Even the most devoted followers need an incentive or a reward for their loyalty this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Exercise good taste. Ask for the opinion of a friend when shopping for decorator items or house wares and you won’t go wrong. Enjoy mental challenges or focus on receiving a valuable learning experience this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It may be wiser to wait. Reassess sensitive financial situations or lay out the framework for future plans. There may be an opportune time to seek professional advice but it is not a good week to act on it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Bolster the confidence of others by being sympathetic and kind. Knowledgeable people are available and willing to provide a helping hand. Valuable information can come your way in the first part of the week.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Saucy Summer: Recipes For The Height Of Tomato Season By Wolfgang Puck
Now is the time of summer when, everywhere you turn, it seems that fresh sun-ripened tomatoes are plentifully in sight. Farmers’ market stands are piled high with them, from big beefsteak tomatoes to all sizes, shapes and colors of heirloom varieties to tiny cherry tomatoes. Home gardens, too, are filled with tomato plants supported by cages or trellises and heavily weighted down with crops just begging to be picked. So, what do you do with all those tomatoes? Of course, I’m eating them in lots of salads right now. I’m also slicing them to go in sandwiches or on top of pizzas and pureeing them coarsely for warm tomato soups and cold gazpachos. I’m using either chopped tomatoes or halved cherry varieties to cook with and garnish all kinds of main dishes. And that’s not to mention the tomatoes I chop up along with chile peppers, onions and cilantro or basil to make spicy salsas as a condiment. Even with all those possibilities, though, there always seems to be more tomatoes than I can use right away. That’s why one of my mainstay recipes at this time of year is a basic, all-purpose homemade tomato sauce. I like to make a big pot of this sauce, which takes just a couple of hours or so to simmer gently on the stove. Some of it I may use right away. The rest can be easily stored in small containers that provide just the right amount for an individual recipe. Some I may keep in the refrigerator to use within a few days. The rest I’ll put in the freezer, where the sauce will keep reliably well for several months, to be thawed overnight in the refrigerator or, depending on the recipe, added directly to other ingredients simmering away. One of my favorite ways to use this kitchen staple is in my recipe for angel hair with tomato-basil-garlic sauce, which combines the basic tomato sauce with more seasonings and fresh tomatoes to make a quick, flavorful pasta that’s one of the most popular dishes in my restaurants. In the following recipe I use cherry tomatoes, which I fi nd offer reliably satisfying sweetness and texture at any time of year. They also look beautiful on the plate. For an especially attractive presentation, look for a variety of these little bite-sized tomatoes in different colors, including golden-yellow and bright orange, as well as tiny pear shapes to complement the round ones. So go ahead and welcome your own bumper crop of tomatoes. And get ready to enjoy the rich, sweet-savory f lavor of summer sunshine. HOMEMADE TOMATO SAUCE Makes 6 to 8 cups (1.5 to 2 L) 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium red onions, chopped 4 large garlic cloves, peeled, trimmed and smashed 1 large sprig fresh oregano 4 to 5 pounds sun-ripened red tomatoes 2 to 3 teaspoons granulated sugar, if necessary Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the onions, garlic and
oregano and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender but not yet browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the tomatoes. With a small, sharp knife, carefully cut out the stem end of each. Cut the tomatoes in halves and squeeze out the seeds into a bowl. Coarsely chop the tomatoes and set aside. Stir the tomatoes into the pan with the onion mixture. Hold a fi ne-meshed sieve over the pan and pour in the seeds, letting their juices fall into the pan; discard the seeds. Reduce the heat to very low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 hours. Using a food mill, insert its coarse disc and position the mill on top of a large mixing bowl. Taste the tomatoes and, if necessary, stir in some of the sugar to enhance their sweetness. Ladle the tomato mixture in batches into the food mill and turn the handle to puree. Discard the skins and fibers left inside the mill. To store any sauce you aren’t using right away, ladle it into small storage containers. Let the sauce cool, and then refrigerate or freeze. ANGEL HAIR WITH TOMATO-BASIL-GARLIC SAUCE Serves 4 1/2 cup (125 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for serving 4 garlic cloves, peeled, trimmed and smashed 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 24 cherry tomatoes, cut in half, plus extra for garnish 3 1/2 cups (875 mL) homemade tomato sauce 4 small sprigs fresh basil, plus 1/4 cup (60 mL) julienned fresh basil, for garnish Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Granulated sugar, optional 12 ounces (375 g) dried angel hair pasta 1/2 cup (125 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, garlic, pepper flakes and cherry tomatoes. Saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and the basil sprigs. Reduce the heat. Season with salt and pepper, and add a little sugar, if necessary. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. Drain, reserving about 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the cooking water. Remove and discard the basil sprigs. Add the pasta to the sauce in the skillet and toss to coat, adding a little reserved cooking liquid if necessary. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) Parmesan and toss again. Drizzle with a little olive oil and toss once more. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, use tongs to lift and twirl neat mounds of pasta onto serving plates. Distribute tomatoes over and around the pasta. Garnish with more grated Parmesan and basil julienne. Serve immediately.
