Weather with Nor'easter Nick

By Nick Pittman

When we look at where we've been weather-wise over the past few weeks, I don't have many complaints. Sure there were several severe weather events but they yielded no property damage or loss of life so it's a non-issue. I like the pattern we are in and going forward we will see a little of everything or ever yone's taste. All eyes are on the all important Father's Day weekend, right? I've got good news for ya: No issues. Friday

is beautiful, Saturday is great and Sunday will be nice - albeit a bit warmer. We will be rather comfor table through early Sunday and then the heat begins to build back in for next week as high pressure situates itself in a way where we star t getting the southwest winds to pump up the dew points. Enjoy the weekend and time with the family!

Happy Father's Day Letter from the editor

s Father’s Day rolls around each year, I half jokingly remind my kids that they should thank me for getting them a good one. Bob was young by today’s standards when our son Jamie was born, becoming a father at 25 years old. It’s amazing that another 25 years have since passed and our babies are all grown up. I often wish I could relive those first few blissful days after our son was born when we thought we had a healthy baby boy. It was only a matter of time before the cascade of health problems began to fall in our laps as Jamie was faced with a hole in his heart, elevated white blood cell counts, and food allergies, just to name a few. These were challenging, however the one that changed everything was when we learned that our first born had autism. Everyone has their own idea of what fatherhood will be like based on their own unique life experiences. When a child is

diagnosed with a disability or serious illness though, all of those plans and expectations fly right out the window. You’re faced with tough decisions and a lifetime of challenges. Bob took it all in stride, though, attending countless doctor and therapy appointments. Our twin girls came along shortly after and we began lovingly calling them our “Irish triplets.” Our twin daughters were bundles of healthy joy as well as two perfect companions for Jamie. They loved to play with Jamie and direct him around every chance they could. As the years passed, the girls surpassed our son developmentally by early grade school. Each year, the gap continued to widen as sports and group activities were not options for our son. He did not have the language or skills to participate and unfortunately, this was before special needs programs were readily available in our area. Throughout this time, Bob continued to work hard for our family, dedicating every evening to spending time with his children. He did his best to attend every dance recital or school play and tried to divide his time equally between our three children. However, it became in-

creasingly difficult as our son’s behavior became harder to manage. Jamie had an increasingly harder time following directions and regulating his emotions. Meltdowns began to plague many of our family outings and would upset everyone.. Nothing could have prepared us for the challenges that this would bring yet no matter how hard it got, Bob showed up day and night giving his all to his children. He sacrificed quite a bit and hardly complained.

This is our version of “hard” and we know that every family has their own story. We admire the fathers who continue to show up day in and day out, who work hard to provide for their families, and who never back down from life’s fair share of challenges. We see you, love you and appreciate you. Happy Father’s Day!

Peace & Love, Cindy

A Blooming Good Time at the Linwood Arboretum

By Tammy Thornton

appy New Jersey Public Gardens and Arboretum Day! You may have missed this “holiday”, but the Linwood Arboretum celebrated with an open house, held on Sunday, June 9th. Attendees could sample refreshments, chat with fellow gardeners, or take a chance to win a large pot of beautiful plants and flowers sure to attract pollinators. If you missed the open house, you can visit the ever-changing arboretum 365 days Yarrow a year between dawn and dusk. Take a leisurely stroll through the

winding paths to learn more about native trees and shrubs as well as numerous uncommon and rare plants. The arboretum is enjoyable and interesting year-round. One of its newest collections is a raised stonework bed that simulates a peat bog, similar to those found in the Pinelands and is home North American pitcher plants. These intriguing plants are carnivorous digesting flies, beetles, mosquitoes, and wasps for nutrition. This small but beautiful arboretum was created to preserve open space that had formerly been an electrical substation. The building was retained and now serves as a work space and has also been visited by Santa during the holiday season. Some of the trees are really out of this world. Especially the Eastern White Pine, which as a seed, went to outer space with the United States Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997. Later, it was planted as a sapling at the Linwood Arboretum.

Volunteers and Friends of Linwood: (standing) Sally Pietrofitta, (sitting L-R) Ellen Kelly, Lori Butrus, Hella Lacy, Judy Collins. Curator George Butrus affectionately refers to it as the “Space Station Tree”. The arboretum has plans to expand to the adjacent area currently referred to as the “Annex”. Fenwick Architects, who designed the arboretum, have also drawn up plans for the annex. According Carnivorous Plants to Butrus, “the annex will be an example of low maintenance, drought tolerant landscaping. It will also be an example of passive open space we are promoting city wide.” Friends of the Linwood Arboretum’s mission is to: “provide the community with educational and social events in an effort to give an

And, of course, they provide a natural habitat for butterflies, birds, and other wildlife. Vo l u n t e e r s meet e ve r y Thursday, as the weather allows, to weed and maintain the arboretum.

3 Local Dads Share Fatherhood Advice By Raymond Tyler

and want them to show that kind of devotion to their children.

ormally around Father’s Day I start thinking about what new angles I can use to pay tribute to my father, the late Raymond Tyler Sr. (My friends that knew him referred to him as “the original;” they called me “the remix.”) This year I decided I would take time to discuss fatherhood with three successful local dads. Here’s what they had to say on their experience, advice to new fathers, and what they hope their children have learned about fatherhood from having them as fathers.

Faheem Davis / DJ Fah D

Ben Rose

Podcaster, one of Atlantic City’s top ambassadors. Two Children: daughters ages 36 and 38. I was not prepared for diaper changing. Advice for new fathers. Hug your kids for life, starting the day they are born so they always feel cherished and loved. What I hope my kids learn from me about fatherhood. This father supported his daughters and helped to instill confidence so they believe in themselves that they can achieve whatever they set their minds to do. So there you have it from three great dads that get it and got it right. Father’s Day is this coming Sunday, June 16. Happy Father’s Day to one and all!

Director of Marketing and Public Relations The Greater Wildwoods Tourism Authority Wildwood Three Children: a boy and two girls, and grandfather of four I was not prepared for the total commitment of your time and also sleep deprivation. Advice for new fathers. Just relax and enjoy the entire experience. Many first-time fathers get caught up in their work and making a living for their family. But the most important thing to a child is the time you spend with them. That’s what they will remember. What I hope my kids learn from me about fatherhood. I tried to instill in my children the sense of unconditional love and that I will always be there for them. That no matter what, I support them and love them,

Atlantic City’s top DJ. Four Children I was not prepared for getting emotional. When I first saw my daughter’s ultrasound, one tear came down my face and I have been emotional ever since. I never cried before for that. Now I cry at movies and weddings. Advice for new fathers. Presence over Presents What I hope my kids learn from me about fatherhood. Set high goals and be OK with the outcome.

How to Create Interesting Salads besides fresh ingredients is having a good dressing. I don’t mean you should scour the dressing aisle of

By Marci Lutsky

y farm share at B&B Farms began two weeks ago. This is my third year of having a farm share there and it seems to get better and better each year. Early in the season, my weekly pickup is very heavy on the greens. Last week I received arugula, kale, chard and spinach. Luckily my family and I never tire of salads. If you find yourself with an abundance of greens in your garden or farm share, here are some helpful tips for making salads interesting so that you don’t get sick of greens by July. When it comes to salad, the key

of salad dressing a week and reach for it whenever I have greens that need a topping. A favorite with kids is buttermilk ranch dressing which you can make very quickly using buttermilk, mayonnaise, g a r li c and fresh herbs from you r garden. Another favorite in my house is a simple herb vinaigrette. I will add fresh basil from my garden to olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Give it a quick whisk or whirl in the blender for an easy and delicious dressing. Occasionally I will add Dijon mustard and some honey for a little change in taste. Miso (soybean paste), tahini and rice vinegar are some other ingredients I like to play around with in my dressings. Next you need to decide what to add to your salad. If you are serving the salad to kids, I highly recommend investing in a spiralizer because kids love veggie noodles. When I put spiralized beets, squash, carrots, cucumbers or sweet potatoes in my salads, my kids will not only eat it, but most of the time will ask for seconds. What else can you add to your salads to make them interesting? The options are endless. I almost always add avocado because my daughter runs on avocados. Since we don’t eat meat in our house, I usually add beans to our salads for extra protein. I always have garbanzo beans and edamame on hand. I like some crunch in my salads and usually I get

this from sunflower seeds (roasted chickpeas are always great for crunch too). If you like a little sweetness to your salads, add fruit! Orange segments or chopped apples are great as are dried fruits like cranberries. Crumbled cheese is a great addition too, with feta being my favorite. Salad should be anything but boring. If you find yourself with an abundance of local greens this summer, you are so lucky! Make a great salad dressing and enjoy a bowl of freshness.

KALE SALAD WITH BLUEBERRY VINAIGRETTE

Once you pick your own blueberries it is difficult to go back to buying them in a store. When I moved to the Jersey shore I fell in love with blueberry picking. Nothing beats the taste of freshly picked blueberries. The kids love going blueberry picking and I love creating recipes with our bounty. Our favorite place to go is DiMeo Fruit Farms & Berry Plants Garden Center in Hammonton, NJ. We were one of the first ones who picked last week for the season and as always, we had so much fun. On the way home from the

farm the kids and I discussed what to make. They voted for popsicles which got made but I had my heart set on a salad. First, I created the vinaigrette by combining blueberries, rice vinegar, oil, mustard, a scallion, garlic, salt and pepper. I gave that a good blend in my Cuisinart Smart Stick. If you joined a CSA you are probably getting a lot of greens right about now. My green of choice is kale but you can substitute whatever greens you have. If you are using kale, give it a good massage until it starts to soften and deepen in color. Add the toasted pecans, feta and blueberries and toss that with the

salad dressing. This salad is bursting with flavor from the blueberries. The sweetness is balanced perfectly with the saltiness of the feta and the pecans give it just the right amount of crunch. This is going to be my go to salad for the summer, especially while blueberries are in season!

Hydration at every Age

By Nancy Adler

oday, more than 50 percent of all children and adolescents in the U.S. are not getting the hydration they

need . Summer is prime time for outdoor sports, family vacations, BBQs, festivals and long days in the sun. While you are enjoying those activities and the hot weather, it’s easy to be hit by dehydration—and most people don’t see it coming. Summer is also prime time for dehydration, electrolyte imbalances and even heat stroke—all of which are more common than you might think. Your food (not just beverage!) choices can account for approximately 20 percent of your daily fluid intake, and are therefore a major contributor to you and your family’s overall hydration status. Luckily, many foods that are in season in the hot summer months – such as melon, tomatoes and strawberries – are naturally rich in water, carbohydrates and minerals, including those all-important electrolytes.

In addition to dishing out juicy produce as a pre- and post-workout snack (orange slices, anyone?), infusing water with fresh fruit and vegetables like cucumber can give your ordinary bottle of water an extraordinary flavor. To stay hydrated, you and your family often need more than water. You also need electrolytes and carbohydrates. While both nutrients can help your body absorb whatever fluids you drink, electrolytes – sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium and calcium – are especially important because they are critical to healthy nerve and muscle function. And, all of these electrolytes can be lost through sweat. Fortunately, electrolyte drinks like pedialyte contain both electrolytes and carbohydrates, which consuming when exercising for longer than 60 minutes or during any activity performed in extreme temperatures. Without getting too vivid, your urine color can function as a simple indicator of your hydration status. Before, during and after outdoor activities, take a quick look at your urine output. If your urine

is a light lemonade color, it’s likely that you are properly hydrated. Dark yellow urine (as in dark or darker than apple juice) typically signals dehydration and need for immediate rehydration. Sweating is a major contributor to dehydration during summer sports. This goes for adults and children both. Sweat quickly evaporates off of the skin, especially when you are in extreme temps. To gauge your sweat losses and consequent hydration needs, I recommend weighing yourself naked both before and after exercising. Every pound lost between the beginning and end of an exercise routine represents 16 ounces of water – gone. Losing less than 1 percent of your body weight during the course of your workout is optimal. Once you lose 1 percent of your body weight in water (so if you weigh 180 pounds, 1.8 pounds), exercise performance begins to suffer and fatigue can set in. You might be running an 8-minute mile, but it will feel like you are pushing a 6-minute pace. It's essential for children to stay hydrated. Add some orange and lemon slices to their water. Even blueberries and strawberries add a welcoming change . That flavor boost may be your secret weapon in getting your children to drink up – which is vital since children are at an increased risk of dehydration and heat stroke due to their body composition. When kids

are provided with beverages that contain flavor, carbs and the electrolyte sodium chloride, young boys voluntarily drink up to 90 percent more fluid than they do otherwise. Parenting for the win! To stay one step ahead of the disastrous effects of dehydration, it’s important that everyone starts their day and or workout hydrated, drink during activity and rehydrate when it’s over. If you or your kids have a morning workout on the agenda (summer camps and tournaments, anyone?), you need to prioritize hydration the night before. That’s because, after spending eight hours in bed not drinking anything, it’s easy to wake up in a dehydrated state, and that’s even before you factor in exercise. Try to drink plenty of water a couple of hours before bed and upon waking. Try water and healthy juices at breakfast to get the kids to drink up. Happy Safe Hydrated Summer!

Extra Points with Pete

Hit Movies. Eagles Fans, LPGA Classic among June’s Big Winners

By PETE THOMPSON

he arrival of the first full week of June brings the end to the hockey season, the NBA season, and the completion of another ShopRite LPGA Classic. In hindsight, I should have written at least a little about the annual event that comes to Seaview Hotel and Golf Club in Galloway each year. If you haven’t been, the Classic is worth the trip. Since I last wrote, the Eagles have signed their franchise quarterback to a long-term extension. The Phillies have returned home still winning, mostly, but with flaws. The Sixers continue to plan for an uncertain future. The Flyers are preparing for the NHL draft and the Atlantic City Blackjacks arena football team

missed out on an opportunity to win on the road. From the entertainment world, I still have to see “Rocketman,” but it’s a sequel (“Secret Lives of Pets 2”) that’s winning at the box office. Also, the HBO miniseries “Chernobyl” goes out a winner, but I have another summer show to recommend. As always, though, we begin with sports, and my thoughts for the week that was: • I’d like to start with the ShopRite LPGA Classic, which was won this year by Lexi Thompson. The weather was beautiful for the three-day event, and if you’ve never been, put this one on next year’s “must attend” list. Tickets are readily available and easy to get. You can even score a pair

for free with your ShopRite Price Plus card. If you have a daughter, take her out to watch. You'll see her face light up when she sees first hand that “girls rock.” You can also get close to the golfers as the LPGA does such a great job with “Autograph Alley” where the girls sign after they are done their rounds. I saw several big name golfers stopping to pose for pictures, none warmer than Morgan Pressel, perhaps, as she took the time to make each girl feel special. Great job Morgan. • Now a few words about Lexi Thompson, who made her pro debut at the ShopRite LPGA Classic as a 15-yearold back in 2010. I was there when she arrived at Seaview (loudly) in a Red Bull wrapped NASCAR vehicle.

She wasn’t even old enough to drive. It’s been a real pleasure to see her mature into the top American player on the tour these days. She’s had some personal battles to overcome, too, as her mother was struck by uterine cancer a while back. Kudos to Lexi for bravely soldiering on. I know she will be a great champion for the area. • I don’t know how he does it, but Eagles GM Howie Roseman has posted another “win” with the Carson Wentz contact extension. Wentz already was guaranteed $31.3 million over the next two seasons on his rookie deal, so it’s basically only costing the Eagles another $35 million to keep him in Philadelphia for the next four years. It's a major win for Roseman and the Eagles. • A major loss though is the departure of Eagles executive Joe Douglas who is leaving to take the New York Jets GM job. Douglas, 42, has been part of the magic that has allowed Roseman to make all the right moves. Douglas has shown a knack for finding talent and his departure is bound to have an impact on the Eagles moving forward. How much of

JUNE 13, 2019

an impact, we shall see. • Last week I wrote about Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera and his off-the-field troubles. Before the Phillies returned from a West Coast road trip, the team removed all signage of Herrera from Citizens Bank Park, signaling that they intend to move on from him when they can. • Over in the NBA, local products Eric Paschall and Phil Booth out of Villanova have both worked out for the Sixers. So has Shizz Alston out of Temple. Here’s hoping one of them lands with the hometown team. Last year the Sixers had two firstround picks. This year they have one (No. 24), but four second rounders, so "The Process" is a bit different. • There will be a Game 7 between the Boston Bruins and the St. Louis Blues (8 p.m. Wednesday, June 12, after this newspaper's deadline) for the Stanley Cup in the NHL. To me, there’s no better saying in sports than “Game 7.”

• I had the opportunity to talk with Flyers winger James Van Riemsdyk on the radio on 97.3 ESPN the other day. You get the feeling he was

frustrated with how his first season back in Philadelphia went and is hungry to do better in year two. His play at the World Hockey Championships in Slovakia certainly makes it appear he’s turned the corner. • The Atlantic City Blackjacks missed out on a golden opportunity to win one on the road at the Columbus Destroyers. Not only did they lose 54-50, but now they must play the Soul next in Philadelphia. Let’s see if AC can “right the ship” at the Wells Fargo Center. They’re not back home

at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall until Saturday, July 6 against the Soul. • I have few items from entertainment as I still need to get to the theater to see “Rocketman.” I can’t wait to see Taron Egerton basically become Elton John. • "The Secret Life of Pets 2" was the box office leader last week. I have to go back and watch the first movie again. Embarrassing moment; I actually fell asleep in the theater watching the first one. • I’m still wrapping my head around how good the five-episode “Chernobyl” was on HBO. Who would have thunk that a bleak, panicky drama about a nuclear disaster would be the success that it was. Thanks to HBO Go and on-demand, you still have time to watch this. • Finally, another show I highly recommend is “Yellowstone” on the Paramount Network. Oscar and Emmy winner Kevin Costner headlines an outstanding cast as the patriarch of a powerful, complicated family of ranchers. Season 2 kicks off on June

19, so you still have time to catch up on Season 1 before the new episodes begin. At the start of the column, I began by writing about the ShopRite LPGA Classic. Did you know that ShopRite donated more than $1.4 million to local charities through its tournament sponsorship? More than 45 nonprofit groups benefit from the annual event. The tournament not only hosts one of the strongest fields in women’s professional golf, it also annually creates more than $19 million in economic activity in the region. To me, that’s a HUGE win…! Pete has been the local "sports guy" at the Jersey Shore since 2004. After a decade with TV 40, he joined 97.3 ESPN radio to talk Eagles, Phillies, Sixers & Flyers with Mike Gill on "The SportsBash" each day from 2-6 p.m. Pete is proud to be a "voice" for the annual ShopRite LPGA Classic each June, and does emcee work for groups like the National Football Foundation, The Old Grad Awards, and The 200 Club of Atlantic County. You can hear Pete each Tuesday on 97.3 ESPN at 5:30p, and if you see him out & about in the community, he requests that you please say "Hi". Send comments to PBrooksT@aol.com

Dean Randazzo Brings ‘Won’t Quit’ Attitude To Paddle Race

Finishes First 22.5-mile Paddle For A Cause In Eight Hours

TLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY – On Saturday local surf legend and cancer survivor Dean Randazzo joined paddlers from around the world in a 22.5-mile race around Absecon Island. The 12th annual Dean Randazzo Cancer Foundation Paddle For A Cause presented by Seashore Construction brought competitors and spectators to the Frank S. Farley State Marina at Golden Nugget Atlantic City for 22.5-mile and 8-mile races, and a 4-mile social paddle in kayaks, paddleboards, outrigger canoes and surfskis on Saturday, June 8. Randazzo of Ventnor was recovering from a bout with Hodgkins Lymphoma when the inaugural event was conceived. The course was designed by Mike May in 2001 to challenge racers as a reminder that they are helping people struggling with cancer. Randazzo said that’s exactly what kept him motivated in the water. “It was really tough out there,” said Randazzo, “I just kept telling myself that I couldn’t quit, because if I quit then it’s OK for people with cancer to quit I couldn’t let them down.” Randazzo completed the 22.5-mile stand-up paddleboard race in 8:06:51.81.

Up until now a series of health issues had kept him off of the signature long distance course for the past 11 years and he accomplished a major goal by completing the race. “It was truly inspiring,” said foundation President Mark Zappone who extended the time limitation on the race to allow Randazzo to finish, “that guy just has no quit in him.” In the men’s divisions, Sean Brennan of Robbinsville Township, New Jersey finished the 22.5-mile race first and won the surfski category with a time of 2:49:37.61. Kevin Kahikina of Point Pleasant, New Jersey won the OC-1 division with a time of 4:04:57.64. Fielding Pagel of Annapolis, Maryland finished won the stand-up paddleboard category with a time of 4:04:35.94 and Ryan Matthews of Ocean Township, New Jersey won the prone category with a finishing time of 4:06:40.94. Andy Giordano of Ocean View, New Jersey won the master’s 14-foot stand-up category with a time of 5:22:56.05 and 14-year-old Hugh Shields won the prone 17-year-old and younger category with a time of 5:20:37.69 In the women’s stand-up paddleboard division Stephanie Shideler of Long Beach, New York won first place and
