Spray Park Now Open Daily
By Catherine Galioto JACKSON – The new township spray park has already switched its hours, and will be open daily, weather permitting. Before the township held its grand opening June 18, the park was scheduled to only be open weekends. Officials said they wanted to gauge interest and demand before committing to a seven-day schedule. Starting July 1, the Spray Park has kept daily hours. Weather permitting, the spray park at the Justice Complex will be open Sunday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The township announced on June 22 that the demand and community response lead to the change in hours to a seven-day schedule starting July. There was a brief outage on June 25 as the pump house underwent repairs that day but the spray park reopened later. (Park - See Page 5)

Jackson Memorial Alumnus Matt Thaiss, who previously played at the University of Virginia, has signed with the Los Angeles Angels with a $2.15 million signing bonus. By Chris Christopher It didn’t take Matt Thaiss long to become a multi-millionaire. The former Jackson Memorial High School standout has accepted a $2.15 million signing bonus from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Thaiss, who concluded his junior season as a catcher at the University of Virginia, was drafted 16th on the first round by the American League club. The slot was valued at $2,660,800. The Angels assigned Thaiss to the Orem Owlz (Utah) of the Pioneer League, a rookie
level circuit. “Officially a member of the Angels organization,” Thaiss, 21, said on Twitter. “Excited to start the journey!” Now a first baseman, Thaiss said he was happy to be selected by the American (Alum - See Page 4)
Funny In 90 Seconds
By Jennifer Peacock WHITING – Before she even asked if Julia Scotti wanted a table or booth, the waitress at Heritage Restaurant in Whiting told Scotti she killed it. “You were hysterical,” she said. “I don’t watch that show, but I turned it on because you were on there.” Scotti settled at a table in the quiet section, where 60s ballads were blasting overhead. While waiting for her grilled chicken Caesar salad and wheat toast, another patron leaving stopped by the table, touched Scot-
ti’s shoulder and wished her luck. “Oh, wow,” Scotti said. Scotti, who lives in Manchester, appeared on the June 21 episode of America’s Got Talent, hosted by Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel. She had 90 seconds—not including waiting for the laughter to die down—to impress the judges and pass the audition. She mentions that her Twitter feed went from 600 followers to more than 3,000 almost overnight, and her Facebook feed is clogged with well wishes. She wants to
answer each person, but even her agent said she can’t possibly do that. Scotti wishes she could. But she is hardly an overnight success. A jazz drummer turned stand-up comedian, Scotti worked the clubs with names you know: Piscopo. Murphy. Seinfeld. “I always wanted to do stand-up. In 1980, I did it for the first time in Paramus in a Chinese restaurant,” Scotti said. She was “Rick Scotti” then, and while very open about being transgender, does not want that (Funny - See Page 5)
Putting The Brakes On An Issue
By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – One resident wants noisy “Jake braking” prohibited in Jackson Township. “Any time of the day, early in the morning, during rush hour, late afternoon, all you hear are these trucks going down the road,” said Donald Walker of Evergreen Court at the recent Jackson Council meeting. He mimicked the loud noise the brakes make, a sound he hears regularly as the trucks brake for a traffic light. “Can we get an ordinance passed or something to get that to stop? I know they use these engine brakes to slow down because they’re going too fast,” he said. Evergreen Court lies between two busy county roads, Routes 527 and 528, that turn into East and West Veterans Highway, Cedar Swamp Road and Bennetts Mills Road. (Brakes - See Page 4)

League club. “It’s an honor to be drafted by the Angels, can’t thank my family, UVA baseball, and my teammates enough for getting me here,” he said on Twitter. Thaiss, who could not be reached for further comment, was chosen in the 2016 First-Year Player Draft. MLB.com outlined Thaiss’ stats and backstory: Thaiss got off to a fast start with three hits in his first nine at-bats (.333) through two games. He hit one homer and two doubles, drove in four runs and scored two. He put up an .889 slugging percentage and a 1.222 OPS (on base plus slugging) percentage. “We thought he was one of the top bats in the draft,” Los Angeles Director of Scouting Ric Wilson said. “Obviously, we took a catcher last year but we are looking

Council Vice President Kenneth Bressi said the Jacobs Braking system was designed to slow vehicles going down a steep grade, or used in emergency situations. The use of that braking within many municipalities is often prohibited because of the loud, unpleasant noise it makes. Bressi said he supports looking into an ordinance to curb the brakes’ use in town. “I have looked into it, I haven’t finished it
to acquire as many assets as we can and it’s exciting to get one of the best bats in the draft. We feel he has an above average power bat with power potential and some defensive versatility.” Thaiss is the second New Jersey native to be selected in the first round by the Angels, joining current star outfielder Mike Trout (25th on the first round in 2009). Trout played for Millville. The Angels chose a catcher with their first selection for the second consecutive season. Taylor Ward, drafted 26th on the first round out of Fresno State, was chosen last year. Thaiss is the eighth catcher in franchise history selected in the first round of the draft. The Angels’ 40-man roster features 12 players who were first-round selections, including seven who were opening-round picks. Thaiss as a junior led the Cavaliers in bat-
ting average (.375, 87-for-232), home runs (10), runs batted in (59), total bases (134) slugging percentage (.578) and on-base percentage (.473). He added 13 doubles and two triples in 60 games. The 6-foot, 195-pounder finished the season tied for fourth place in the Atlantic Coast Conference in base hits, sixth in batting average, sixth in runs batted in, seventh in slugging percentage and total bases and eighth in on-base percentage. In three seasons with Virginia, Thaiss combined to hit .338 (187-for-554) with 115 runs scored, 36 doubles, two triples, 20 homers and 130 runs batted in. He was named a second-team All-American by Baseball America in 2016, his second straight season with All-America honors. He was a semifinalist for both the Dick Howser Trophy (College Baseball Player of the Year) and the Johnny Bench Award (top collegiate catcher).
He helped lead Virginia to the College World Series Finals in both 2014 and 2015 with the Cavaliers winning their first national championship in school history in 2015. As a sophomore, Thaiss batted .323 (82-for-254). He hit 10 homers and 18 doubles, drove in 64 runs and scored 49 runs. He slugged .512 and put up a .413 on-base percentage. He appeared in and started 67 games and stole four bases in four attempts. In 2013, Thaiss was chosen by the Boston Red Sox on the 32nd round out of Jackson where he batted .343 with 17 homers and 70 runs batted in during his career. He was named to the High Honor Roll all four years. He was a recipient of the Principal’s Leadership Award and a member of the National Science Honor Society. He also played for the Tri State Arsenal, a travel team.
yet. Many states and separate cities do have ordinances restricting it within the city limits. I have looked at it and hope to have an answer by next week to see what we can do with it,” Bressi said. “To have to just come up to a light on [Route] 528, to use that, doesn’t seem realistic. I understand it’s a safety feature in the vehicles. But it’s made really for a certain grade. …They weren’t really created for use like they’re using around here.” He continued: “I think if they really controlled their speed a little more, they may not have to rely on them. Yet, in an emergency they may
have to use them, and I understand that.” Walker said county roads with 50-mile-perhour speed limits are not the place for trucks to use these brakes, even with an extra load. “I understand that, but every red light isn’t an emergency,” Walker said. Business Administrator Helene Schlegel said she has met with Walker once before on this matter. “Because it’s a county road, the county would need for the township to institute an ordinance and then we would be allowed to post signs,” Schlegel said. “If you come down the road you’ll
see there’s no engine braking in Freehold until you hit that Jackson border.” Walker said Freehold and Manchester prohibit engine braking. Though Manchester does make exceptions which are outlined in its code, engine braking is prohibited in town. There’s a firsttime fine of $100, second-time fine of $200, and fines can go up to $500 for violations. “We don’t want to be the one not playing the same game as they are,” Walker said. At press time, Council was slated to discuss their research to create an ordinance at the regular June 28 meeting.

to be the focus of her career. “I began working at The Improv. I did stand-up for 20 years, traveled around the country, was a national headliner.” But Scotti got tired. At age 40, she went back to college to get her teaching certification. She worked for seven years in the Freehold Borough School District as a language arts teacher. While she loved her job, she couldn’t give up on comedy. She came back to stand-up in 2011. “It’s been remarkable. It’s not even been five years now, and I don’t know what happened,” Scotti said. “I think I just became a more honest comic. That was my goal when I came back, to be honest and fearless. And to deal with this whole trans situation in a public way, because there’s been so much prejudice out there, and a lot of haters. I wanted to crack the mainstream comedy market.” Scotti laughs. “I guess I did.” Five years ago Scotti had a lunch with a friend, Christine Rich, who she’s known for 30 years. Over the course of lunch, the topic of comedy came up. “’So when are you coming back?’ And I said: ‘I’m never coming back. I’m old. I haven’t stood on a stage in 10 years.’ She said, ‘You have to do it.’ So I went to a friend of mine who has a club in Bristol, Penn., called Comedy Works—his name is Mike Kaplan, and he should get some credit for this because he was the first person to give me stage time—and
he said, ‘You were funny then. You’re probably funny now.’” She remembers the conversation well. “It was the first time I ever said in public that I was trans, and it was like a deep breath.” Kaplan said, “I knew Julia because I knew Julia as Rick Scotti. As Rick Scotti, Rick was one of the funniest people I knew.” Kaplan added, recalling the decision: “When he dropped out of comedy, and we had heard some stories as to what was going on, and then she came back, and one of the other regular comedians had brought it to my attention that Julia had decided to come back into comedy, and how would I feel about having her at the club. He was funny as a man, I’m sure she would be funny as a woman. … She made people laugh.” Scotti said it was a liberation. “The best comics in the world are those that pull from the truth. We’re very much about speaking our version of the truth anyway. I always felt like, I knew something was different about me. But I couldn’t put my finger on it. Let’s face it, 16 years ago, hardly any internet, no information about being transgendered. So I kind of lived in shadows, not really wanting to expose my true feelings on stage. Once I realized what the issue was, all of that changed. All of that. It was such a liberating feeling,” she said. Scotti has studied the comic greats— Chaplin, Keaton, Benny: “And of course, Carlin is god in my opinion.” And there is a method to Scotti’s art. She does sit at the computer, always pro-
crastinating, to write her shows. “She is constantly writing. You would think most comedians would be doing that, looking at life and looking at the funny things that happen. That’s what good comedy is about. Julia is great at doing that, at telling stories, and telling the funny side of it. She does a great job,” Kaplan said. For America’s Got Talent, she had to compress her best work into 90 seconds. She was “discovered” by the show after someone visited her website, juliascotti. com, and asked if she’d be interested in auditioning. Her shtick focuses on her advanced age. “No. What chance do I have in getting on this thing? But my manager said, ‘You’ve got nothing to lose,’” Scotti said. “You are a joy,” Mandel said at the end of Scotti’s set on America’s Got Talent. “You have so much to offer. …Whether you’re a man or a woman, you’re a human. And you’re funny. And you’re talented.” Scotti cannot discuss any more details about the show, but said she is very happy with how things turned out. As for her audience: “I want them to have a smile on their faces. I want them to feel like they saw something meaningful. I hope it impacts them in a positive way. That’s my goal, to have fun. And, nothing is impossible. You have something you dream about, then do it. Are you going to take your last breath and say, ‘I should have done that?’ No. You gotta do that.”

Featured Letter Celebrate Your Freedom This week Americans celebrate a holiday rooted not in seasonal tradition, not in religious ceremony, and not in recognition of persons or groups. This week Americans celebrate a day, an event, a happening that speaks to the core of what it means to be American. This week America celebrates its independence. Before the Internet connected people across a globe; before aircraft made Earth’s expanse but a short journey by air; before the telephone provided a means to communicate over vast distances; before all of this there was the British Empire. We were part of it. Then 13 loosely affiliated colonies, America was little more than a figurative island under the rule of King George III. But even then Americans were not a people content to live under the thumb of another, sitting idly by while decisions were made for them. So it was that on July 4, 1776, after years of ever-mounting opposition to the King’s rule, America declared its independence. More than any one thing, of greater import than any single ideal, was the belief that people should be free to dictate the direction of their
lives. This lies at the root of America’s founding. “Governments are instituted among Men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,” the Founding Fathers wrote in our nation’s Declaration of Independence. “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” These principles are what we celebrate on July 4. Most of America’s citizens are descended from ancestors who arrived long after America told the world it was a nation that would be free, yet with each new wave of immigrants that spirit lives on. The notion of liberty, of freedom, of opportunity, of having power over one’s own life, these are the ideals that still draw people to America. These are the ideals Independence Day best represents. Remember this as you watch the fireworks. Remember this and celebrate your freedom.

Letters To The Editor We Need Real Action
The Barnegat Bay Report that just came out is another alarm bell going off of the failure of the Christie Administration to take action on Barnegat Bay. The Barnegat Bay is enjoyed by thousands of people for recreation and tourism. It is actually one of the most endangered bays in the nation because it has experienced decades of nonpoint source pollution. However, what the report did not mention is what really needs to be done to protect the bay and clean it up. The threats to the Barnegat Bay are immediate, and the failure to deal with land use has actually made it worse. In the last 30 years, urban land use cover has increased from 22 to 32 percent. Once that percentage reached over 30 percent in the watershed it caused irreparable damage. This shows the Governor’s 10-point plan was pointless because it didn’t address land use. The bay will never go back to its pristine state, but we still need to do things that can clean it up. What the report doesn’t mention is that the town of Lakewood alone went from a population of 60,000 to over 100,000 in the past 15 years. This could easily double to 225,000 in 2030. The partnership says indicators such as nutrient loading from pollution are below average and are actually trending upward over the past two decades. This is not a surprise because the Christie Administration bottled up a 2013 report that showed we needed action to save the Bay, but the administration has failed to listen. Bay beaches have contin-
ued to close and fail tests for bacteria, which has put public health at risk. However, the Barnegat Bay Partnership says closures have actually decreased. Less bacteria is only a factor of weather. Last summer, we had a mild summer without a lot of rain, which leads to less stormwater entering the waterways. Only 75 percent of shellfish have been approved conditionally to eat, but harvest has been down 80 percent because most of the shellfish beds are lost. What the report doesn’t even mention the impact of Oyster Creek and the governor’s failure to require cooling towers. This has continued the plant’s 45-year legacy of discharging millions of gallons of super-heated water into the Bay and killing thousands of fish each year. The report also notes that the percentage of base flow has significantly declined in the northern streams, which is a result from over-pumping. We are also losing hundreds of freshwater and Bayshore wetlands that help filter nonpoint source pollution. Instead of strengthening protections for the Barnegat Bay, the governor is actually waiving environmental and rolling back regulations. The changes being made to the Coastal Areas Facilities Review Act (CAFRA) will actually increase land use cover and allow parts of the bay to be paved over. The Administration has also weakened the Flood Hazard and Water Quality Planning Rules, which will increase development in environmentally sensitive areas and add 18,000 acres of additional sewer service areas. This will allow about 400,000 more people to live in the Barnegat Bay Watershed.

What we really need to help the bay is to actually enforce existing legislation to deal with land use, stormwater, impervious cover, as well as set limits on pollution. If we allow the bay to continue to die, we not only lose environmentally, but we will lose over $4 billion per year in tourism. We need policies and actions that will protect the bay now, not more photo-ops. We may have to wait for the next governor to put in any real plans to save the bay. Jeff Tittel Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club
Our Next President Here is an outline of what the country needs in our next president: We need a president who is honest with himself and the country, is caring and listens to the people the best he can. We need a president who is bright, but doesn’t speak over the people’s heads; is tough, but fair. We need a president who understands the job, as well as the two-party system and how it works, so that he or she can do the job properly. We need a president who understands all people, knows the meaning of compromise and is serious, but has a sense of humor. We need a commander-in-chief that has served time in the armed forces; a president of all the people, regardless of their party and doesn’t let personal ego get in the way of the job. We need a president that knows the importance of our allies and a show respect to them, and also knows the meaning of the Constitution, not how to work around it. These are just a few things that the next president should possess. The question is, is there such a man or woman and do they want the job? Herb Greenberg, Jr. Brick
Christie’s Funding Failures Gov. Chris Christie’s school funding proposal is a transparent attempt to deflect
attention from the abject failure of his education policies. Having never once funded the state’s existing formula, he has no basis for assessing its effectiveness. New Jersey has a progressive school funding formula that acknowledges the need to invest the most resources in students who have the greatest needs. Christie has made a mockery of that formula and the values it represents since he took office. Christie’s failure to fund that formula even once during his administration has done the most damage to students who are the most vulnerable. His choice to favor charter schools has further disadvantaged the vast majority of students who attend district schools. The negative effect on students has been greatest in communities where charters have proliferated most widely, including many districts that would be devastated by the changes he is proposing. It is a blatant attempt to pit New Jersey residents against one another on an issue where we ought to be most united: ensuring a better future for all New Jersey children. Christie’s proposal would result in a huge step backward to the days when poor families in economically challenged communities were left to fend for themselves. By sending equal dollar amounts per pupil to each district, regardless of need, his plan would subsidize those who have the most at the expense of those who have the least. That is the opposite of fair; it’s despicable. Under Christie’s administration, we’ve witnessed terrible neglect of communities struggling with poverty. Childhood poverty has grown worse under the policies his administration has imposed. It takes commitment, hard work and intensive investment to overcome the challenges that poverty creates for families and for children. We will continue to do that work, even as Christie attempts to use his remaining time in office to drive New Jersey backward. Wendell Steinhauer NJEA President

From The Desk Of The Ocean County Freeholders: Freeholders Again Push For Refunds In Comcast-YES Feud
OCEA N COU N T Y – Wit h t he major leag ue baseball season nea rly h a l f ove r a n d s t i l l n o progress being made to ret u r n Ya n ke e s ga me s a nd t he Y ES Ne t wor k to Comcast, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders is again calling on the cable company to issue refunds in return for keeping the channel black. “This has gone on long enough. Comcast needs to credit each customer’s bill for the lack of the YES Network,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vi-
ca r i. “ Subsc r ib e r s a r e still paying Comcast for the channel, but getting nothing in return.” Vicari, who is also liaison to the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs, pointed to published reports saying the Y ES Ne t wor k ch a rge s Comcast $5.36 per month per subscriber to car r y the channel. “By not paying the fee, Comcast is saving more t h a n $ 4. 8 m i l l io n p e r month, or more than $33. 6 million since they took the channel off the air last November. That money
needs to be returned to subscribers,” Vicari said. Freeholder Gerry P. Little agreed, saying sports fa n s a re caug ht i n t he st ale mat e bet we e n t he two corporations. “Comcast is pocketing t h i s m o n e y. T h e y a r e cha rg i ng for a ser v ice that they are not providing,” Vicari said. Fr e e h old e r Vi r g i n i a E. Haines said not only have Yan kees fans had to suffer through half a season without watching their favorite team, but they are paying for the pr ivilege of not seeing
the games. “Either reach an agreement with the YES Network or credit customers for the months already lost,” Haines said. The Freeholders penned another letter to the state Board of Public Utilities asking the board to take any action it can to either r e solve t he d is put e or require Comcast to issue customer credits. “Our spor ts fans in Ocean Count y have spoken loud and clear, they want the YES Network, they want Yankees games,” the Freeholders
said in the letter. “If the games aren’t broadcasted, we demand Comcast issue a credit to each and every one of its customers.” Little said he’s heard eve n mor e c om pl a i nt s since the summer tourism season began and New York residents have come to their vacation homes and realized they can’t watch the games. “Watching sports is a q u a l it y of l i fe i s s u e ,” Lit t le s a id . “ Bot h ou r f ull-time residents and our seasonal visitors want to see the games.”
This is not the first time the Freeholders have demanded that Comcast and the YES Network settle their differences. The Freeholders called for the two sides to settle their differences back in the f irst days of spring training. They also made an early plea to the BPU to intervene and passed a formal resolution in April calling on both sides to reach an agreement. T h e r e s ol u t i o n a l s o asked that Comcast issue a c u st ome r r ef u nd for the loss the of the sports channel.
Housing Advocates: “Build A Thriving NJ” NEW JERSEY – On a mission to make New Jersey a better place to live, work and play, housing advocates launched a new initiative to promote greater investment in housing and community development. Over 150 advocates met at the State House as part of the Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey’s (the Network) annual Legislative Day, to encourage current and future lawmakers to “Build a Thriving New Jersey.” “While other states have bounced back, NJ’s economy has languished after Sandy and the econom-
ic downturn,” said Staci Berger, president and chief executive officer of the Network. “We know that the next governor, and the next leaders of the legislature, will have important and diff icult choices to make about how to make NJ a great place we can all afford to call home. That’s why, today, we are launching our campaign to ‘Build a Thriving NJ,’ so that our current and future elected officials know that they have to do more to make NJ work for everyone.” The “Build a Thriving New Jer sey” i n it iat ive aims to boost the state’s economy through invest-
ments that create more affordable homes, address homelessness prevention and ser vices, revitalize neig hb or ho o d s , t a ck le foreclosures and eliminate childhood lead poisoning by promoting safe homes and schools. Citing a recent national study that found New Jersey to be the fifth most expensive state to rent in the count y, advocates met with legislators to urge action on proposals that make the investments outlined in “Building a Thriving New Jersey.” Advocates also called on New Jersey’s next governor commit to those investments.
“The backbone of our economy are our friends, families, and neighbors who live and work here,” said Blair Schleicher Bravo, chief executive officer of Morris Habitat for Humanity and Network Board Chair. “If people cannot afford to live here, they’re not going to spend on the activities that stimulate our economy. Investments that create more affordable homes, more jobs, and robust communities produce a high economic and social return.” “Housing is the foundation of a healthy, happy life that allows people to be productive citizens,” said
Felicia Alston-Singleton, Newark housing advocate. “I came to Trenton today to tell our legislators to support bills that create opportunities so that people having a hard time financially, due to systemic barriers, can have a home they can afford.” During Legislative Day, several Senate and Assembly members spoke to participants during issue-specific sessions about bills they have sponsored. In addition to speaking on her foreclosure mediation bill, Assemblywoman Mila Jasey (D-Essex/Morris) presented the Network with a resolution.
“Whether it is lack of housing options, the continuing foreclosure crisis or concer ns specif ic to those who are economically disadvantaged or special needs residents, the Network is an invaluable resource in assisting those such as us who address these concerns in crafting policies and resolving difficult issues,” said Jasey. “Safe housing that people can afford is essential to all of our health, safety, quality of life and our sense of community. The Network stands on the front line and I am proud and privileged to stand with it,” said Assemblywoman Jasey.

100 Years Later, NJ Shark Attacks Still Terrify
By Catherine Galioto The nation’s fascination with or fear of sharks – whether the movie “Jaws,” Shark Week television programs or tracking the Mary Lee as she pings offshore – is as popular as ever. But it’s been a century since what many see as the nation’s first deadly shark attack first gripped headlines, and that history is here on the Jersey Shore. That was July 1, 1916, in Beach Haven, a Saturday before the Fourth of July holiday. The story, as detailed in several local history and shark attack books, is that Philadelphian Charles E. Vansant, 23, had gone for a pre-dinner swim near the Engleside Hotel his family had checked into. He suddenly flailed and screamed for help. Lifeguard and beachgoer jumped into the water, reportedly only five feet or so deep, to save Vansant. Pulled from the struggle, Vansant had lost the back of one thigh and had exposed bone and a huge gash in the other leg. He died 90 minutes later after losing so much blood,

said the reports at the time, with witnesses calling it “the most horrible thing I ever saw.” That same year, but just five days later, another fatal shark attack left a sea captain dead offshore in Spring Lake. Less than a week later on July 12, Matawan Creek saw two more deaths from shark attack and one person seriously injured, less than an hour apart. The four deaths and one critical injury sparked national headlines. Previously, shark sightings were captain’s tales, but with the fatal news, the triangle fin and the terrifying grin of the carnivore kept the beachgoer on high alert. The “celebration” of all things shark continues after Beach Haven held its Sharkfest Weekend June 17, with more events planned throughout the year. Among them is a presentation by Dr. Richard Fernicola, author of 12 Days of Terror, a book that investigates the 1916 shark attacks. The presentation is at the New Jersey Maritime Museum’s annual fundraiser on September 10.

BlueClaws To Have “Biggest” Fireworks Display In Its History
LAKEWOOD – The post-game fireworks that follow the BlueClaws game on July 3 will not just be the biggest show of the year, but the biggest fireworks show in the history of FirstEnergy Park, the team announced. The BlueClaws are responding to numerous fan requests for an enhanced show surrounding Independence Day and will have the biggest of the nearly 200 shows in team history after the 7:05 p.m. game on July 3. The July 3 show is presented by Georgian Court University. “Our fans have loved our fireworks shows for the last 15 years, but we did get several requests for an even bigger-than-normal show over Fourth of July weekend,” said BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow. “We’re glad to listen and can’t wait for July 3.” Last year, the BlueClaws were home on July 4 and welcomed a crowd of 8,317, the largest of the season. With the expected large crowd for one of the most anticipated games on the calendar, fans are encouraged to reserve their tickets in advance by calling 732-901-7000 option 2 or online at blueclaws.com. The firework show will be played to a series of patriotic music.
The BlueClaws also has individual picnic tickets available for this game. Tickets come with an all-you-can-eat buffet (including hot dogs, hamburgers, BBQ chicken, pulled pork, mac-and-cheese and more), plus a seat in the picnic area. Typically, picnic tickets are only available for groups of at least 24. Tickets are $26.95 for adults and $18.95 for juniors. To order, call a BlueClaws representative at 732901-7000 option 3. The game is on a Sunday, so kids eat free thanks to ShopRite and kids are able to run the bases after the game. Dogs are welcome to FirstEnergy Park each Sunday and adults can enjoy $2 Coronas until the end of the seventh inning. July 3 is also a Kids Club MVP “Fireworks on the Field” Night, where members of the BlueClaws Kids Club, presented by Jenkinson’s Boardwalk and Applebee’s, can watch the fireworks on the field. Membership in the BlueClaws MVP Kids Club is just $25 and includes four ticket vouchers, a $25 gift card to Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park, a BlueClaws Lunch Bag, access to exclusive events and much more. For information or to sign up, call Patrick Prendergast at 732-901-7000 ext 171.

Art Star Craft Bazaar Coming Soon
ASBURY PARK – The Art Star Craft Bazaar is coming back to Asbury Park for the second time. The bazaar will be held at Bradley Park on Ocean Avenue across from Convention Hall and the Boardwalk on July 30 from 10 a.m. to 7 p. m. and July 31 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. About 50 area and national artists will be on display at the bazaar in a show organized by Philadelphia indie craft shop and gallery, Art Star. Makers from across the region (and beyond) will set up 10 x 10 shops to sell their wares in the park. Shoppers can expect high quality handmade goods that reflect Art Star’s unique and quirky aesthetic. Erin Waxman and Megan Brewster of Art Star have hand selected a diverse collection of artists that create anything and everything, including housewares, paper goods, jewelry, prints, ceramics, clothing, accessories, paintings/ drawings, sculpture and many other oneof-a-kind curiosities. All items have been handmade from a variety of mediums that include fabric, clay, glass, wood, paper and much more. The show will also include artists who will be selling select works (t-shirts, prints, cards, etc) that have been reproduced in small batches, if not locally, within the US. The Art Star Craft Bazaar aims to offer something for everyone at a range of prices to accommodate all budgets. The bazaar will benefit Move for Hunger,
a nonprofit founded to transform moving into an opportunity to reduce food waste and help feed the hungry. There will also be fresh food vendors and live acoustic music. Former sound engineer Dan Knoll of Audio Tree will be showing his handmade wood iPhone amplifiers and phone cases. Art Star was also sure to include some local favorites – like Corey Hudson’s mosaic style wall art made from wood pieces salvaged from super storm Sandy. And local Asbury Photographer Claudia Chloe, who captures summer scenes by taking aerial shots that feature bright, colorful clusters of umbrellas and towels dotting sweeping landscapes of sand and surf. Art Star always welcomes four legged friends to the bazaar. Swing by Adornables’ booth to pick up a dapper bow tie for the pup. While visiting the bazaar, Art Star encourages guests to explore all that Asbury Park has to offer. There is a variety of great independent shops and restaurants along the boardwalk, as well as a thriving shopping district along Cookman Avenue and connecting side streets. This event is free to attend and will occur rain or shine. The Art Star Craft Bazaar is a “no glue gun” gathering. Visit artstarcraftbazaar.com for more information.

Here’s To Your Health Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Secondhand Smoke – It Is Bad For Your Hearing Health, Too We all know that smoking is bad for our health. Typically, we think of lung cancer, heart disease or asthma as the closely associated effects of long-term tobacco smoking, but a new study conducted by New York University School of Medicine found that, “Teenagers exposed to tobacco smoke may also have significant hearing loss – and not even know it.” The study participants – ages 12 to 19 – were tested for two specific things: The amount of a tobacco related chemical in their blood called Cotinine and for severity of hearing loss in the low, mid and high frequencies. The Results; They May Surprise You What the researches discovered was astounding. The children who lived in a smoking household were twice as likely to develop hearing difficulty compared to a child from a non-smoking home. The higher the level of the Cotinine found in their blood, the higher the child’s risk of developing a hearing loss. Some children with especially high levels of Cotinine were at three times the risk for
hearing loss. Many of the teens in the study were found to have a measurable hearing loss, yet none of them were aware of it. Their youth and the gradual nature of hearing loss made their experiences almost undetectable. This inability to communicate effectively can lead to social problems at school and poor performance in the classroom, making regular hearing screenings for young people as necessary as regular dental checks.

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Drugs That Can Harm Your Skin By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Did you know that your medication can damage skin? Most of you don’t even think about that as a side effect. Photosensitivity is a fairly common skin reaction that is sparked by taking medicines that interact with ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. After two hours of sun exposure on a shady trail, it happened to me; luckily the red burning rash and tingling only affected my hands, rendering me out of writing commission for a few days. The big problem is that photosensitivity reactions are highly unpredictable. Nothing may happen the first three times you go swimming, but then the next time it’s dreadful. The reaction can differ with each exposure, and the specific medication you take. For example, a classic reaction is a severe sunburn, but also possible are brown splotches in your skin, redness, pain and tenderness, an actual bumpy rash, hives and any inflammation. Photosensitivity reactions may cause permanent skin damage, while others are reversible in a few days, it is very individual. Finally, just because you do not have a problem with medication now, doesn’t guarantee smooth sailing every time you take it. There are hundreds of offenders, and again my list does not mean you’ll have a reaction at all, it just means the possibility exists. Here goes: Antibiotics: Sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, doxycycline, ciprofloxacin and the UTI drug nitrofurantoin. Psychoactive medications: Amitriptyline, imipramine and other Tri-cyclic antidepressants. Also, sertraline (Zoloft), venlafaxine (Effexor), mirtazapine (Remeron) and alprazolam (Xanax). The blockbuster Aripiprazole (Abilify) is another psyche med that has been associated with skin eruptions
and sensitivity. Accutane and Retin A: These are used to improve skin, so it’s ironic it can have a photosensitivity reaction, but they’re biggies. Allergy meds and antihistamines: Cetirizine, diphenhydramine, loratadine and other blockbusters. Blood pressure medications: Enalapril and amlodipine can sometimes cause “Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus” a painful skin eruption. Diabetic drugs: Glipizide, glyburide, tolbutamide, glimepiride and others. Metformin does not usually cause any problem. Birth control pills or menopausal drugs, any of them, there are hundreds. Patches, pills, all of them can have a ‘photo’ reaction. Statin cholesterol drugs: All of them, atorvastatin, fluvastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin have the ability. Diuretics: Many of them are skin sensitizers, however the popular HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide) can cause a dangerous reaction called “Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus.” Anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs: Ibuprofen, ketoprofen, naproxen and celecoxib. My list is not complete, so ask your pharmacist about your medication. Use natural sunscreens and sunblocks, wide-brimmed hats, as well as clothing that covers you up well. Aloe vera creams are soothing, as is the gel right from the plant. Try putting lavender essential oil (20 drops) and peppermint oil (2 drops) in some cold water, then make a cold compress out of that. It will cool on contact. Compresses with comfrey root, baking soda water or lavender oil are the fastest way to take the sting out of your sunburn or rash.

Be Careful Of Phony Charities Soliciting Donations
NEW JERSEY – With many New Jersey residents anxious to show support for the victims of the recent mass shooting in Orlando, the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs has cautioned consumers to beware of phony charity scams. While the outpouring of grief, concern and support for the families affected by this tragedy is enormous, so is the potential for fraud.
“In the aftermath of a tragedy such as this one, good people are moved to find ways to help victims start the healing process, often by sending money,” said Acting Attorney General Robert Lougy. “Unfortunately, bad actors are just as motivated to find ways to exploit the situation for their own profit.” “Consumers should apply a critical eye to any emails, websites, door-to-door collec-
tions, mailings, or telephone calls soliciting money to help those devastated by the Orlando shooting,” said Steve Lee, acting director of the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. “The best way to provide support for the victims is to make sure the money you donate is going to a legitimate charity that actually benefits them.” To avoid getting taken by phony charity
scams, consumers should follow these steps before opening their checkbooks: Try to limit giving by donating to known and trusted charities. Consumers should never give to a charity they know nothing about. If a charity is new, that doesn’t necessarily mean consumers shouldn’t donate – but they should learn as much as possible before they decide to entrust the organization with their money. Learn about the charity’s stated mission, and find out how, exactly it plans to use donated money. Ask for literature and read it. Honest charities encourage consumers to ask questions. Contact the Division’s Charities Hotline at (973) 504-6215 or state.nj.us/lps/ca2/charities/ to learn about specific charities. Confirm whether a charity is registered or is exempt from registration requirements. Certain religious or educational organizations, and those that raise less than $10,000 in a calendar year, are exempt from the registration requirement. Visit the division’s website to review the charities most recently reported financial information – including the amount of the charity’s annual expenses that went to actual charitable programs, as opposed to fundraising or management expenses. Be especially cautious when responding to e-mail and telephone solicitations for money for victims of a recent tragedy. These methods of solicitation are more often used by fraudsters seeking to take advantage of a tragedy for their own gain. Delete unsolicited e-mails and don’t open attachments, even if they claim to contain video or photographs. The attachments may contain viruses designed to steal personal financial information from the consumer’s computer. Beware of solicitors that pressure consumers to act quickly or donate on the spot. That’s a telltale sign of a scam. Legitimate organizations will allow consumers time to consider what kind of contribution, if any, they want to make, even if they’ve donated to them in the past. Avoid cash donations if possible. Pay by credit card, or write a check directly to the charity. Do not make checks payable to individuals; make checks payable only those organizations which are found listed as active in the Division database. Be wary of providing personal or financial information, even to charities that have been confirmed as legitimate. Limit the information to what is needed to process the donation. Social media sites can also perpetuate scams. Do not blindly give via these mediums. As with any charity, investigate the groups behind such pleas to ensure that they come from a legitimate organization. Consumers are urged to report suspicious solicitations to their local police and to the Division of Consumer Affairs at 800-2425846 (toll free within New Jersey) or 973504- 6200. Consumers who believe they have been cheated or scammed by a business, or suspect any other form of consumer abuse, can file an online complaint with the State Division of Consumer Affairs by visiting its website or by calling one of the numbers referenced above.

Inside The Law R.C. Shea & Associates Win Victory for Oliverie Funeral Home
We are pleased to announce that the law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates has won a major victory for Geri Oliverie and Mike Hoennicke, owners of Oliverie Funeral Home, to allow the construction of their beautiful new facility to be located in Jackson Township, New Jersey. It will be the first funeral home in the State of New Jersey to include the
concept to house a banquet facility that will permit repasses to take place at the same location as the funeral home. The New Jersey Superior Court, after a full trial of the matter, affirmed the decision of the Jackson Township Planning Board to allow the construction of this facility. Construction is slated to begin in the Fall.

CentraState Performs 1,000th Robotic Surgery
MONMOUTH COUNTY – CentraState Medical Center recently performed its 1,000th robotic surgery procedure using the Da Vinci surgical system, the latest technology in minimally invasive surgery. Board-certified general surgeon Amit Kharod, MD, chief of the Department of Surgery at CentraState Medical Center, performed the single site laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of gallbladder) procedure. The robotic surgery system enables specially trained surgeons to offer an alternative to traditional open surgery for procedures considered too complex or delicate to treat using standard minimally invasive technology. The system offers surgeons the control, range of motion and visibility characteristic of open surgery. It simultaneously allows them to work through tiny incisions typical of minimally invasive surgery, providing patients the benefits of the minimally invasive approach such as reduced blood
loss, pain and scarring, decreased risk of infection, fewer complications and faster recovery time. The surgical system includes a console and robotic arms. While seated at the console, the surgeon views a three-dimensional image of the surgical field and accesses master hand controls to direct the robotic arms to perform the procedure. The system instantaneously translates the surgeon’s hand, wrist and finger movements into precise, real-time movements of tiny surgical instruments inside the patient. The expanded range of motion and excellent visibility afforded by the Da Vinci system makes it much easier to get precise results within a very small space at different angles. The robotic system is used for general, bariatric, urologic (with a focus on prostate) and gynecologic surgical procedures. For more information about robotic surgery at CentraState or all of the services offered, call 866-CENTRA7 or visit centrastate.com.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
A Nice, Quiet Little Beach Community Here
Dear Joel: “Ed” and I are going to be married in six months. This will be a second marriage for both of us. We are both in our 30s, neither one of us ever having had children. We are planning a small, intimate, family and “close friends” wedding only. As we continued to make our plans “Ed “ suddenly decided that our honeymoon to Italy was no longer what he wanted. He decided that the Caribbean is more of a “honeymoon destination.” Joel, we have paid almost half of this trip and although it is refundable for any reason; I refuse to change the destinations and plans that were put into place months ago. As you can imagine, this created a major blow up and we haven’t spoken in nearly two weeks. Perhaps I am being stubborn but it’s the principle of the matter here. I would love your thoughts as to who is right. Should I let him get away with his childish behavior? Answer: I actually take your side here in that plans were in place and they sounded reasonable. He agreed at the time and I think that his changing his mind may be unfair. I
must say ahead of time that this is an advice column. I am neither a physician nor trained in marriage counseling. That being said, I don’t think that the trip here is the issue. If at this stage of the relationship you haven’t spoken in the amount of time, I think the honeymoon might have already ended. Time for you to call “Ed” and invite him to dinner. I would stand firm about postponing this marriage as your relationship is more complicated than the honeymoon destination. If you can’t work this detail out I honestly see trouble ahead in the long run. Settling this honeymoon destination problem out now will not change my view off this relationship. Please let me know how it works out. Joel Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

Interactive Maps Of Water Access Points Now Available
NEW JERSEY – Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin announced a new, interactive public access map for visitors to locate more than 2,900 coastal, bay and river access points in four counties. “To help residents and visitors get the most out of their summer season, we are also pleased to make available this interactive map, which will provide useful information on beach, bay and river access points in Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic and Cape May counties. This versatile tool will help longtime New Jersey residents and newer tourists locate the wide range of access points to our tidal waters for all forms of recreation,” said Martin. The interactive map, which can be found at nj.gov/dep/cmp/access/ uses Geographic Information System technology to locate the 2,900 points and allows users to get a glimpse of a particular access point via aerial or street view. Additionally, every point features a pop-up window that provides a street address and amenities available at the location, including parking, handicap accessibility, restrooms, boardwalks and forms of recreation permitted. The information for each spot was compiled by DEP staff. Later this year, DEP will expand the maps to include all public access points in the northeast region of the state and the Delaware Bay and Delaware River. “We take great pride in the public access for families, boaters, the fishing community and everyone who enjoys the shore,” Commissioner Martin added. “With this great coastal access and our partnerships built through the state’s Cooperative Coastal Monitoring program to ensure excellent water quality, we look forward to another great summer in New Jersey.” The DEP spearheads the Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program (CCMP), a joint state, federal and local partnership that routinely tests water quality at 215 ocean and bay beaches across the state. In 2015, monitored ocean beaches were open more than 99.9 percent of the time. Just two ocean beaches were closed all season as a result of exceeding the recreational bathing beach bacteria standard. The DEP, working in partnership with local and county health agencies, moni-

tors water quality at recreational bathing beaches from mid-May to the week after Labor Day. Water quality sampling results so far have shown that New Jersey’s beach water quality is outstanding. Coastal surveillance f lights are also under way, taking place six days per week from midMay to mid-September. These f lights
carefully watch for issues such as algae blooms or debris that might affect water quality. The DEP has worked with Rutgers University to develop an interactive website and map to show real-time status of monitored beaches at njbeaches.org. The website allows the public to easily view and download water quality
data, notifies the public of any alerts at beaches and shows the daily f light path and the chlorophyll data collected during the f lights. It also includes access to a variety of reports, information about recent research and shore-related links.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of July 2-July 8 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Weeds can spoil your garden if left unchecked. Carelessness or trying to finish a project too quickly could create errors or blemishes that ruin overall progress. Remember to take your time and pay careful attention to the details. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Keep your feet on the ground. A dream or idea may provide benefits in the future but right now you may be lacking essential elements to get the ball rolling. Focus on more tangible short term goals that you can achieve right away. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Expand your areas of expertise. Concentrate on skills or traits which may have proved difficult for you in the past and make an effort to improve your performance. Determination and willpower can help you overcome any obstacle. CANCER (June 21-July 22): If it isn’t broken, don’t try to fix it. Just because someone else may have experienced misfortune doesn’t mean the same thing will happen to you. Don’t take unnecessary steps. There’s no need to make any changes. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t get too set in your ways. The methods and routines that may have served you well in the past may no longer be effective. Open your mind to newer and more innovative techniques and don’t be afraid to make changes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It may all be in your head. Concerns and doubts over an issue may be unfounded and occupy far too much of your time for the next few days. Quickly clear the air with a friend or loved one with whom you may have had a dispute.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): The loudest voice gets the most attention. This does not mean that it is the voice that deserves to be heard. Make sure that the issues and activities that you focus on are relevant and that you aren’t following someone else’s agenda. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Nothing lasts forever. You may have become so comfortable with the status quo that you haven’t noticed a gradual shift in conditions. It may be time to reevaluate your views and positions to more accurately conform to changing times. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Let sleeping dogs lie. Your financial situation may not be quite as rosy as you’d like. It could be a whole lot worse, especially if you make any drastic changes. The sky is not falling, no matter what anyone tells you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Stop, look and listen. Misunderstandings are likely to arise if you aren’t paying close attention to what others are telling you. The safest investments to make are not making any investments at all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t get backed into a corner. Take time to mull over crucial decisions. If someone demands an answer right away then your answer should be “no.” Trying to appease someone could compromise your own interests. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Take things as they come. Deal with problems as they arise. Don’t waste your time thinking about things that cause worry. Adopting a more carefree approach to your endeavors could make obstacles seem much less challenging.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Refresh Your Summertime Entertaining With A Classic Salad
By Wolfgang Puck
On the hottest summer days, sometimes all you feel like eating is something light and refreshing. Salad certainly matches that description; and yet, mixtures of leafy greens and other vegetables aren’t necessarily what comes to mind first when you want to satisfy hunger. That’s why I think Caesar salad makes one of the best choices. The recipe was originally developed almost a century ago in Tijuana, Mexico, just across the border from California, by restaurateur Caesar Cardini, who threw it together one evening from kitchen odds and ends for some hungry partyers. Word quickly spread about how miraculously flavorful and robust it was for a dish so light - the perfect bite to enjoy after a night on the town. I have long offered my own interpretation of Caesar salad in my restaurants, and it’s so popular that when I try taking it off the menu many guests insist on ordering it anyway. They like it, I think, because the combination of crisp romaine leaves, Parmesan, crunchy croutons and a creamy dressing of olive oil, egg yolk, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and anchovies delivers big flavor and great crunch with every bite, filling them up without feeling at all heavy. Many people ask for the salad as an appetizer. Others request that we top it with a portion of grilled chicken, meat or seafood to make a complete one-dish meal. You can easily do this at home, too, whether you cook the protein on your backyard grill, on an indoor grill pan or under the broiler. So how, you may wonder, do I manage to stay true to the classic while also making it my way? For one thing, I streamline the dressing’s preparation. In the original, it’s made with a coddled (barely boiled) egg that is beaten with the other dressing ingredients in the salad bowl. Instead, I use a pasteurized egg yolk (you can find pasteurized eggs in well-stocked markets) to ensure it contains no harmful bacteria, and combine it with the other ingredients using an immersion blender that instantaneously produces a perfect emulsion. I then blend the anchovies into the dressing. They are usually used as a garnish, which some diners don’t like. But, when blended in smoothly, they add a subtle briny flavor to the dressing that everyone seems to enjoy. My other change is to the croutons. Instead of using cubes of bread tossed with the salad leaves, I prefer to use thin slices that you can eat as an accompaniment. I even like to top them with a simply seasoned mixture of cherry tomatoes, which adds a bright complement of both flavor and color. So there you have it: My own take on a very satisfying salad everyone can enjoy throughout the summer.
CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD Serves 4 CROUTONS: 1 small French or sourdough baguette, cut diagonally into slices 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick Extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme CAESAR DRESSING: 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lemon juice strained 1 pasteurized cage-free egg yolk 1 clove garlic, grated 3 anchovy fillets 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar 1 cup (250 mL) mild-tasting extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon honey CHERRY TOMATO GARNISH: About 2 dozen cherry tomatoes, cut in halves Sherry vinegar 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or other fresh herbs SALAD: 3 hearts romaine lettuce, leaves separated and chilled 1 cup (250 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Hardboiled egg, sliced in half (optional garnish) First, make the croutons. Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Put the slices of bread on a baking sheet. Drizzle lightly but evenly with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme. Bake until deep golden-brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a glass measuring cup or bowl, combine the lemon juice, egg yolk, garlic, anchovies, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, vinegar and oil. With an immersion blender, blend until smooth. Add the honey and blend briefly again. For the garnish, in a mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, a small splash of vinegar and the fresh herbs. Toss well. Set aside. Put the separated romaine leaves in a large bowl. Add 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup (85 mL to 125 mL) of the Parmesan and season lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle with enough of the dressing to coat the leaves lightly. Toss thoroughly. To serve the salad, arrange the dressed romaine leaves on individual large serving plates. Sprinkle more Parmesan over the salad. Arrange the croutons on the side and top them with the cherry tomato mixture. Add hardboiled egg for optional garnish. Serve immediately.
