By Chris Christopher ne of the world’s shortest athletes at 5-foot-5, Frank Molinaro will compete on his sport’s biggest stage this summer.

The former Southern Regional High School standout will wrestle at 65kg for Team USA at the Olympics in Barra da Tijuca, Brazil ons August 21.

“It feels really good to be an Olympian--like a dream come true,” Molinaro said. “Being an Olympian wants me to do more as well. I have become an Olympian because of a mix of consistency, discipline and focus along with my faith in God. Molinaro, who starred at Penn State University, is a Christian.

“My faith plays a huge part in

my success,” he said. “Everything happens for a reason and God has a plan for me. I had faith that I could do it. My faith helped me reach my full potential. My faith freed me up to take more risks and make more gains by trusting in God. I have a real strong faith. Everything happens for a reason--good or bad. My faith has enabled me to excel

enough to get to this point.”

To win the gold medal, Molinaro must come out on top in several matches. He said he may have to win as many as four. There are 15-20 minutes of rest between each match. Barring a pin, each match consists of two three-minute periods with a 30-second break between each period.

Ocean Takes All-Star Win In Gridiron Classic

By Chris Christopher Mike Miserendino made the most of his final game on his home field.

The recent Central Regional High School graduate threw the winning touchdown pass for the Ocean County All-Stars in their 14-7 victory over the Monmouth County All-Stars in the 39th annual U.S.Army All-Shore Gridiron Classic on June 30.

Miserendino completed a 4-yarder to former Southern Regional player Pat Walker with 8:30 left in the game for a 13-7 lead. Ex-

Point Pleasant Boro player Collin Ansbach kicked the extra point to push the lead to 14-7.

“This was definitely a night to remember,” said Miserendino, who will play either defensive back or wide receiver at Rowan University. “I loved playing with all of these kids. It’s a great way to come out with a win in my last game on this field. This is real emotional. I am blessed and honored to have played in an all-star (All-Star - See Page 5)

Barnegat Scraps Plan For Police Substation At Settlers Landing

By Daniel Nee BARNEGAT – A condominium unit purchased by Barnegat Township in the troubled Settlers Landing section with the intent of turning it into a police substation is up for sale, officials confirmed, with the substation plan having been scuttled.

Mayor John Novak said the unit, purchased last year for $60,000, has been renovated by township public works employees but was never fully converted to the layout needed for it to be operated as a substation.

“They remodeled the inside to the point where it is now a splendid residence, but they have not turned that expensive corner to turn the residence into a police station,” Novak said.

The township committee recently voted in favor of selling the unit, located on Lexington Avenue, for a minimum of $65,000.

Olympics:

Continued From Page 1

“Before you know it, you are back out there,” Molinaro said. “I try to make my training similar to the competition. I have a plan to cool down and get something in my stomach between the matches. The biggest thing is to focus as the time between matches is limited.”

Molinaro said he will learn the identity of his first-round opponent when he weighs in at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 20 at the Olympic Training Center.

“The selection process is random,” he said. “I feel my chances for a gold medal are as good as anyone else’s. I have gone against some of the best and have beaten some of the best. I really believe I can beat anyone in the world.

It’s a matter of staying on the same path, being consistent and putting myself in the best position to win August 21. The rest of the things will take care of themselves.”

Molinaro, 27, was a Rutgers University assistant coach from 2012-14 under former Jackson Memorial mentor Scott Goodale. Molinaro became a Penn State assistant coach in 2015.

“After I coached at Rutgers, I felt I had a little bit left,” Molinaro said. “When wrestling was reinstated as an Olympic sport, it became a wake up call for me. I felt I had a place in my heart to go for it. I felt passionate about it and trusted in myself that I was doing the right thing. I felt I had a lot left and took the risk.

My wife, Kera, an assistant gymnastics coach at Penn State, supported me.”

So has the community.

The Manahawkin Moose Lodge was the scene of a $50 per person Pig Roast on Saturday, June 25. Sponsored by the Nittany Lion Wrestling

Club and Nike, Molinaro figures about a dozen family members will make the trip to Brazil to watch him compete. Molinaro will receive a stipend to go muscle to muscle against the world’s top wrestlers.

“Competing takes a lot of time, discipline and focus,” he said. “I give up a lot of time with my family to travel around the word to compete (Molinaro has hit the mat in more than a dozen nations) and attend training camps, but this is what I love to do. The hardest part is being away from my family.”

Molinaro’s route to Team USA was not easy.

He became an Olympian after two Europeans--one from Poland and one from the Ukraine–were banned from the Games for blood doping violations. Molinaro, who competes in freestyle, won his weight class at the U.S. Olympic Trials, ambushing opponents as the ninth seed. However, because of past results, the United States hadn’t qualified the weight in the Olympics. He had to finish in the top three in either a qualifier in Mongolia or top two in a qualifier in Turkey to earn a berth on Team USA. He went 1-1 in Mongolia and lost in the quarterfinals of the Turkey qualifier.

He earned a bronze medal in Turkey.The bronze appeared to deny Molinaro a berth, but the adjustments landed him in the Olympics.

Bulgaria’s Boris Novachkov, who bested Molinaro at the Turkey qualifier and won gold, received his license as a result of the first qualifier in Mongolia after the adjustment.

Georgia’s Zurabi Iakobishvil was awarded one of the automatic berths after the ban. Therefore, Novachkov received his bid through the first qualifier and Molinaro through the second. It meant Novachkov’s spot from Turkey went to

the third-place qualifier in Turkey--Molinaro.

The former Rams star sparkled at the Trials in Iowa City, Iowa. He was 3-0 in the challenge bracket. He downed Kellen Russell 14-1 in the first round and ousted the top-seeded Brent Metcalf 3-3 on criteria in the second round. Molinaro followed with a 5-5 criteria win over Logan Stieber in the semifinals, setting up a best-of-three championship series with Aaron Pico.

Molinaro lost the first bout 4-2 and won the second 4-3. Using a four-point move, Molinaro downed Pico 4-4 on criteria in the championship bout.

Molinaro captured international gold at 65kg at the 2016 Freestyle World Cup in Los Angeles.

He topped India’s Rajnesh Rajneesh 5-0 in his first match. Molinaro followed with a victory over Magomed Muslimov of Azerbaijan in the second round. Molinaro downed 2015 World bronze medalist Sayed Mohammadi of Iran 4-3.

Mohammadi entered the match ranked seventh in the world at 65kg. Molinaro concluded the tournament with a 4-4 win on criteria over Georgia’s Zurab Iakobishvilli, rated ninth in the world.

Molinaro was a four-time All-American for the Nittany Lions and a three-time state champion at Southern at 125 and 140. He went 33-0 as a Penn State senior, capturing the 149-pound NCAA title. He left Penn State as its fifth-four time All-American, finishing with a 121-29 career record.

Molinaro said competing in freestyle differs from the collegiate wars.

“Going from collegiate to freestyle wrestling was like learning another sport,” he said. “There are different tactics, different rules, different strategies, different conditions and different

scoring. I had to escape my comfort zone to get to where I am today. International wrestlers use a different style and I had to acclimate to it.

They use a more tactical style. They use more counter attacks.”

Molinaro is not afraid to attempt to take control of a bout at the outset.

“I would probably say I am a fighter,” said Molinaro, who earned a criminal justice degree from in 2012 from Penn State where he minored in kinesiology. “I am also a very disciplined wrestler who does not come out of position. I stay with my game plan. I don’t get too emotional out there. I would say my strong points are my mental toughness and my will to win. I never count myself out of a match.”

As a youngster, Molinaro also competed in football, baseball and cross country before opting to focus on wrestling.

“I liked the competitiveness of wrestling,” he said. “It’s a really tough sport that demands a lot mentally and physically--more than any other sport I have ever played. I like the culture of the sport and the lessons it teaches--the one on one aspect and the team aspect.”

Molinaro said he is analytical in defeat.

“A lot of my success comes from learning a lot in my losses and not being discouraged,” he said. “I use a loss as an opportunity to improve.

I have always had the attitude of constant improvement. I take time from the initial blow of a loss to cool off. Losing is difficult, but I have always tried to work on my weaknesses and evolve my game so that it does not happen again. I try to find a positive in each loss “I love competing. I love the feeling of vulnerability. The uncertainty of it all is very exhilarating.”

game at home.”

The drive began at the Ocean County 16-yard line with 13:07 left. Miserendino opened the series with a 4-yard burst to the 20 and a personal foul penalty on Monmouth on the play gave Ocean County the ball at its 35 and a first down. Miserendino followed with a 22-yard dash to the Monmouth 43 and was tackled while out of bounds on the play, putting the ball at the 22 and giving Ocean another first down.

Jackson Memorial’s Vinny Lee ripped off a 10-yard gain up the middle for a first down to the 12 and followed with a 1-yard burst to the 11. Miserendino muscled for five yards to the six. Lee gained five yards up the middle to the one on third and four for a first down. Lee was thrown for 3-yard loss to the four. Miserendino was stopped

by then-mayor Susan McCabe, was aimed at having a permanent police presence in the community, which has been plagued by crime and drug activity in recent years.

Those in neighboring sections of the township have frequently voiced concern that the negative impact of Settlers Landing has reduced property values.

“You either have to buy them our or you have to scare them out,” McCabe said at

The Southern Ocean Times, July 9, 2016, Page 5 for no gain on the following play and tossed the game-winner on third and four.

Named Ocean’s Most Valuable Offensive Most Valuable Player, Miserendino faked a handoff and tossed the ball to Walker, who caught the ball about one yard from the goal line on the right side of the field, Walker muscled through a defender and into the end zone, sending the Ocean County fans into a frenzy at the Joseph J.Boyd Memorial Field.

“I usually hit the tight end with the pass, but Pat was open right away,” Miserendino said. “The play was a 90 boot right. We practiced it a lot during the week and we had it down pretty good. Our coaches said I should definitely fake before throwing the ball. My fake caught their defender off guard. I am very honored. I never felt I would be the MVP of this game. This is a night to remember. I am very blessed to receive this award.”

Honored as Ocean’s Most Valuable Defen-

sive Player was former Jackson Memorial standout Tyler Towns. Bound for Wagner College where he will play defensive end and outside linebacker, the defensive end tipped a pass, resulting in an interception

by Brick Memorial’s Chris Hayes with 4:59 to go in the fourth quarter.

“My dad (Hollis, who took pictures of his son after the game) told me I would have to walk home to Jackson if I did not come away with one of these,” Towns said while holding his plaque. “It’s a long walk from here (Berkeley Township) to Jackson. When I got my hand on the ball, I had feelings of elation and excitement. It’s a statement.

You’re telling the quarterback, ‘You can’t throw on us. You can’t run on us.’ “ “This was old school football, a brotherhood. We have been knocking each other around since we were in the first and second grade,” Towns said. “It’s all about the love of football. It’s about wanting to have fun

and wanting to put on a good show.”

With eight seconds remaining in the game, a Monmouth pass was broken up in the end zone by Point Pleasant Boro’s Devin Connelly on fourth and two, giving Ocean County the ball. Ocean County ran out the clock.

Ocean County took a 6-0 lead with 2:05 left in the first quarter on a 55-yard touchdown pass from Noah Husak (Point Pleasant Boro) to Matt Schliefer (Brick Township). Ansbach kicked the extra point.

Monmouth cut its deficitto 7-6 with 13:21 to go in the game on a 17-yard touchdown pass from Matt Mosquera (Middletown South) to Nick Pasquin (Raritan). Jack O’Connor (Red Bank Regional) kicked the extra point and Ocean County answered with the winning touchdown.

Monmouth leads the series 20-18-1 with one tie. Ocean County has won the game three straight years.

the time, deciding that using eminent domain to purchase the entire neighborhood would be too costly.

Now, it appears the township will take a different approach in its attempt to tackle crime there.

“Some of us, certainly myself, came to the decision that having a mobile task force that can be timed and placed with specificity and the element of surprise, would be a better use of police assets and resources, contrary to a fixed-base operation,” said Novak, acknowledging

that financial issues, including higher personnel costs and lagging reimbursements from FEMA led to the township to reevaluate the plan.

Barnegat has, in the past, tried numerous approaches to stemming the tide of trouble in the neighborhood, including mounting video cameras fed live to the police headquarters on utility poles.

“An unfortunate byproduct of this has been that the negative element was forced to conduct its illegalities on adjacent streets to avoid surveillance detection,”

McCabe said last year. “That caused it to spread.”

Novak said the real estate market is positioned in such a way that the taxpayers will not lose money on the change of approach.

“They say now’s a good time to sell,” he told a resident who questioned the market at a recent committee meeting. “I don’t know about your values, but we’re fairly confident we’ve got it right … we’re certainly going to recoup our cost and maybe make a few dollars.”

Featured Letter State Needs To Quit Smoking, Start Prevention As a former smoker and survivor of heart disease, I am very concerned about the lack of state funding for tobacco prevention programs and other services that help smokers quit. While smoking rates have decreased dramatically in the past 20 years, smoking is still the leading preventable cause of death and New Jersey is the only state that dedicates no state resources to the fight against this deadly addiction.

Programs to prevent children from picking up the habit and to help smokers quit have disappeared. NJ generates approximately $700 million from the tobacco tax, yet we spend nothing on combating nicotine addiction. This is wrong.

The NJ Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee recently approved a bill that would reinstate funding for tobacco prevention.

Although it would dedicate only five percent of

what is generated from tobacco taxes, it would still provide $33 million to fund programs to curb and prevent tobacco use.

This is a great start.

New Jersey has made progress in lowering the smoking rates across the state, but there is more work to be done. Disparities in smoking rates exist according to income, mental health status and other factors. In addition, e-cigarette and hookah use among children and young adults is skyrocketing, which increases the chances that a whole new generation will struggle with nicotine addiction as adults.

On behalf of the American Heart Association, I urge the state legislature to continue the passage of this legislation to help create a culture of health in the Garden State.

Letters To The Editor The Complaints Are Economic After reading the article about the recent presentation, “Heart of the Stranger: A Portrait of Lakewood’s Or thodox Community,” given at the Lakewood Library, I felt compelled to “set the record straight” regarding the presumed “growing prejudice” against Orthodox Jews in Lakewood.

In my opinion (knowing many people who live in Lakewood, and myself working in the area), the issue is not that the people of Lakewood are anti-Semitic.

The “prejudice” is not against the Jewish person.

It is against the behavior of people who are not taking care of their property (toys, bicycles laying around outside, yards that are unkempt, houses in disrepair, etc.). Living in the same neighborhood as someone who does not take care of his property lessens the value of any owner’s land.

The “prejudice” is against the idea that “I have to pay taxes, but my neighbors don’t.” I believe almost anyone would have a hard time being gracious about that!

I don’t believe most people in Lakewood object to how their neighbors dress, what they eat or how they worship. However, when certain behaviors or religious principles make life difficult for their neighbors’ economic welfare, there is bound to be some negative backlash.

Many of my customers are Orthodox Jewish peo-

ple, and they are very nice people, but if my land lost value because my neighbor wasn’t taking care of his, or if my tax bill was higher than it should be, because my neighbor’s religious beliefs gave him the privilege of not paying any taxes, I would be upset and not too neighborly either!

I don’t know what the solution to the problem is, but please don’t label the problem as “Anti-Semitism.”

It is about the concern of many for the beautification and economy of Lakewood.

Benefits, Salaries Exorbitant Despite the fact that Freeholder Jack Kelly has withdrawn from consideration for the state parole board, this newspaper published retired detective Dane Wells’ melancholy and self-righteous letter regarding Laurel’s Hester’s “last gasp” wish, not to recover from her illness, but to bequeath her lifelong benefits to Stacie Andree, her 30-year old partner with a full time job. I agreed then and still do with Freeholder Kelly’s decision to abstain from voting on the matter.

First, Hester was not permitted to pass benefits to Andree according to the standards at that time.

That’s what all the push was about. Second, at age 49, I doubt she was able to claim benefits at all.

This should have been one of those rare occasions

when the taxpayers got a break, considering that the typical public school teacher in this state collects $2.4 million in retirement, having contributed less than $200,000. Same is true of the police, as was documented in a cover story about the Toms River police force which ran in the Asbury Park Press.

The public sector unions are strangling New Jersey.

Their exorbitant salaries and benefits which we read about every day impact the cost of living of everyone else in the state. According to recent articles in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, the state’s condition has become so perilous that a failure to honor its debts, similar to what happened in Detroit and is taking place in Puerto Rico, is the most likely case going forward. Meanwhile, Wells and Andree will collect millions as long as they can fog a mirror.

Bad things happen when good people fail to confront them, as it did in this case.

Demand Barrier To Parkway The poor air quality, loss of quality of life and substantial health issues because of the poor planning and lack of concern for the residents Brick Township by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority ( NJTA) Commissioners continues. The bureaucrats of the NJTA seem to have had purchased the extremely short and young trees in the Evergreen Woods Park Condominium area either from some cohort as a political payback or benefactor because the trees are a sham.

The NJTA knows that over 30 percent of those trees are dead already and should have been replaced by more mature 7 to 10 foot trees. If those Commissioners along with the council members just take a walk through the North Loop of Evergreen Woods they will

see inadequacy of these so called trees.

The NJTA has already wasted tens of thousands of taxpayer and toll-payers monies on a publicity ploy that was inadequate and doomed to failure. Anyone walking through the North Loop will see that these trees do not meet the needs of the people and were never going to provide reasonable benefit. As they walk through the development and view these horrid looking dead brown plantings all can see the esthetic appearance caused by the ghastly dead and dying plants. On the walk they can breathe in the toxins of the diesel trucks passing by, view the tens of thousands of cars racing along and maybe even get to hear the blast from one of those trucks or motorcycles that pass by the houses each evening.

During their walk they can enjoy for a few minutes the lives of the 2,000 residents of the area. These trees are not a shield to the toxins that flow over the ballfields, the high schools and elementary schools, the playgrounds and the homes of Brick Township residents. The noise has an impact on the residents that live within a few hundred yards of the Garden State Parkway but the toxins associated with diesel trucks and 300,000 cars passing each day impact every child, senior and the everyday citizen that lives within a half mile of the roadway.

The Commissioners are killing New Jersey’s citizens. The long-term impact will be the same as what happened with cigarettes.

Years from now it will become more evident and there will be deadly health implications. Heart attacks and lung disease will increase and movies will be made of how politicians and bureaucrats ignored the problem, just like with Ciba-Geigy. But the Brick and Ocean County residents don’t want movies, lawsuits and financial settlements (Letters - See Page 17)

Spotlight On Government Capitol Comments 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove

NEW JERSEY – The Senate overwhelmingly passed legislation sponsored by Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove which would grant priority in registering for courses at a public institution of higher education to military service members and veterans living in the state.

Senator Christopher J. Connors

Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf

Senate Passes “Combat To College Act”

Connors, Rumpf and Gove’s legislation would grant military service members and veterans living in the state priority in registering for courses at a public institution of higher education.

Connors, Rumpf and Gove have joined with the 1st Legislative District in this bipartisan veterans’ legislative initiative (S-1672 and A-2950) entitled the “Combat

to College Act.” The 9th District delegation issued the following statement following the Senate passage of the veterans’ legislative initiative.

“Veterans’ deserve every opportunity to pursue their higher education goals. Higher education policies should be in place to provide special accommodations for veterans’ due to the significant

demands associated with military service, including long-term deployments.

“Under the ‘Combat to College Act,’ priority registration would apply to both current military service members serving on active duty and to veterans who were honorably discharged or released under honorable circumstances from active service.

“Certainly, we recognize

that there are higher education institutions in New Jersey that voluntarily establish extensive services to assist veteran students. Consistent with those efforts, we believe that state law should require priority registration benefits for veterans.”

Members of the 9th District delegation serve on both the Senate and Assembly Military and Veterans’ Af-

fairs Committees. Assemblywoman Gove serves on the Assembly Higher Education Committee.

The delegation proudly sponsored the VeTeach law, enacted in 2012, that established a pilot teacher preparation program at Stockton University for veterans who served in the Armed Forces on or after September 11, 2001.

Lighting Improvements & New Hangars Coming To OC Airport

OCEA N COU N T Y – Improvements to the main runway’s lighting system and the constr uction of an additional t-hangar to house planes already on a waiting list are planned for the Ocean County Airport off Route 530 in Berkeley Township.

“The lighting improvements for the main runway will improve safety for pilots coming into and leaving the airport,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the facilit y. “And, a new eight unit t-hangar building to be constructed by the end of this year will help us reduce the current waiting list allowing more pilots to store their planes at the airport.

“Whether it’s for public safety or to help our economic efforts, the Ocean County Airport is an important service in Ocean C o u n t y,” Vic a r i s a id .

“This new t-hangar will be of no cost to the county and will answer a growing need at this facility.”

Ocean Aircraft Storage, a partner with county’s fixed ba sed oper ator, Ocea n Aire, will operate the new t-hangar, which will consist of a eight unit building located adjacent to the existing t-hangar buildings.

“The county developed a land lease with Ocean Aircraft Storage that will allow for the construction of the new t-hangar building,” Vicari said. “Ocean Aircraft Storage will construct the t-hangar building at its own cost and expense.”

A lease agreement for the t-hangar construction was signed May 18 with Ocean Aircraft Storage.

Under the agreement, the lease will be for a 10-year term with an option of two additional 10-year terms.

In addition, the county will receive annually 15 percent of the gross revenue or $5,000, whichever is higher.

“We are working in partnership with the fixed base operator to minimize any cost to the county,” Vicari said. “Ocean Aircraft Storage is paying for the construction and we will derive a revenue as a result of this new building.”

T he cou nt y ha s fou r t-hangar buildings consisting of 36 individual units currently located at the airport.

“Because of the waiting list we anticipate the new hangar will be filled as soon as work is completed,” Vicar i said. Completion of the building is expected in December.

Vicari added the new hangar is consistent with the Airport Capital Improvement P rog r a m a nd t he Pinelands Memorandum of Agreement.

“These hangars are very important to the airport,” Vicari said. “Many visitors to Ocean County own second homes here and are looking for a place to keep their private planes.

“This helps with our tourism efforts,” Vicari said.

Vicari added the airport, located on 420 acres in Berkeley Township, about five miles west of Toms River, provides a central location for a host of public safety services.

The precision approach facility features a 6,000 foot runway, a crosswind r u nway and accom mo dates various aircraft, including private airplanes, small corporate jets, the state Forest Fire Service planes, the Civil Air Patrol and Emergency Services aircraft.

Since 1990, Ocean County has received more than $23 million in federal and state funding for airport improvements.

“This airpark is an impor t a nt element of t he county’s transpor tation program,” said Vicari. “It’s essential the facilities be

kept current and at up-todate standards.”

Vicari noted the current runway lighting system is more than 20 years old and scheduled for replacement.

“We are applying for federal funding for 90 percent of the cost of the replacement project and for state funding for five percent of the total cost,” Vicari said.

The project cost is esti-

mated at about $1.6 million and the design work, funded also by federal and state grants was completed last year.

The project includes the installation of high intensity runway/threshold edge lights and high intensity f lush mou nted r u nway edge lights.

The county expects to go out to bid on the project

sometime in June and the work will take about three months to complete.

“This is yet another important safety upgrade to the airport,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who serves as director of Law and Public Safety.

“We want to make sure the pilots using our facility are accessing an airport that is well-maintained and safe.”

Learn How An American Pilot Helped Israel

MANAHAWKIN – The little-known story of how American pilot Al Schwimmer led a secret, illegal operation to give the newborn Jewish state a chance to survive is told in “A Wing and a Prayer,” a film to be screened at Stockton University’s Manahawkin Instructional Site on July 12.

The 2015 PBS documentary by Boaz Dvir shows how Schwimmer helped establish the Israel Air Force by covertly bringing aircrafts and guns to the nascent nation. Schwimmer worked for TWA and assisted the Air Transport Command in World War II. He used his many military and airplane industry contacts to help him transport the planes. He also created false companies to get around the United States’ prohibition against sending military aid to Israel to

avoid antagonizing Arab countries during the Cold War. Schwimmer, who later founded Israel Aircraft Industries, died in 2011. He was pardoned by outgoing President Bill Clinton in 2001 in relation to his 1950 conviction for violating the Neutrality Act during Israel’s 1948 War of Independence.

He had not asked for the pardon, because he believed his actions were moral.

The public is invited to this free screening and to discuss the documentary, which features firsthand accounts of daring escapes and heart-pounding action. The event will be held at 11 a.m. on the July 12 at the Manahawkin Instructional Site, 712 E. Bay Ave. Call 609626-3883 to RSVP.

POOLING TEARS

When the small chamber (lacrimal sac) into which the tears drain from the eye becomes infected, tears become trapped and form a pool. This condition (known as “dacryocystitis”) blocks tears from flowing from the inner corners of the eyes, along the nose, and out through the nasal passages. As bacteria grow in the pool of blocked tears, infection sets in and reddening, tenderness, and swelling develop at the inside corner of the eye. This most commonly occurs in infants and older adults. Treatment may begin with warm compresses and gentle massage, followed by probing of the nasolacrimal duct (tear duct) and a course of oral antibiotics. If the probing proves ineffective, “dacryocystorhinostomy” (DCR) surgery may be recommended.

This informative column on dacryocystitis has been brought to you as a public service in the interest of better eye health. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., we can detect early stages of disease during a medical eye examination. At our office we have state-of-the-art equipment and procedures to ensure that you receive the best possible eye health care. We are medical doctors specializing in disease and surgery of the eye. Please call 732-349-5622 to schedule an eye examination. You can trust your eyes to our experience.

Photographer Sheldon Nadelman’s Work On Display During August

WARETOWN – Although Sheldon Nadelman’s subjects were often overlooked, as well as, stepped over, his photographs often got much attention. An acclaimed book, “Terminal Bar – A Photographic Record of New York’s Most Notorious Watering Hole” and a Sundance award winning short film documentary award, “The Terminal Bar,” have both resulted from his works. Even Martin Scorcese used the Terminal Bar in his film, “Taxi Driver.”

From Nadelman’s vantage point as a bartender at the Terminal Bar at the corner of Eighth Avenue and West 41st Street, he shot 2600

photographs with his $85 Pentax. His works have been the subject of a New York Times article, whose headquarters, ironically, now stands on the former site of the bar. Taken from 1962 until 1981, his photographs have long been recognized as historically significant.

Along with the “sooty, sticky-floored life” images taken off the streets in front of the Terminal Bar, Nadelman is also displaying sensitive images of the World Trade Center, pre-9/11.

A reception will be held at the Waretown branch Library on August 8 at 7:30 p.m. and it is open to the public.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Fast Facts About Hearing Loss Despite the national prevalence of hearing loss, many do not have awareness as to how widespread hearing difficulties are. Below are some quick facts about hearing loss in the United States and how it impacts the way we live.

Many are affected…one in five Americans experiences some form of hearing loss.

Yet many do not act…80 percent of those with hearing loss do nothing to treat it.

But when they do…it takes the average person five to seven years to seek professional diagnosis for a hearing problem.

Hearing loss is typically caused by – Aging, ototoxic medication,

exposure to noise and heredity.

There’s no need to wait. We emphasize the importance of good dental hygiene and vision health yet ignore our crucial sense of hearing.

Getting in the habit of receiving annual hearing evaluations can help you maintain better hearing, learn better hearing techniques, and set a positive example for those close to you. There is hope – solutions are available.

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.

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, cautioned beachgoers to be mindful of swimming conditions.

He said, “Any beach can be dangerous, and you to need exercise caution, especially if children are with you. Swimmers always need to be careful. One of the biggest dangers ocean swimmers have is a rip current. Many times when we hear of drownings at local beaches it is due to someone getting caught in a rip current.”

A rip current is created when the back-rushing of water from the beach is channeled in a direction away from the shore,” explained Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) public health coordinator.

“Some of these can be strong enough to pull you far away from the beach. In studies done by the U.S. Lifesaving Association, it was found that 80 percent of the rescues done by ocean lifeguards involve persons caught in rip currents. Many of these currents are often near man-made objects, such as piers and jetties, which tend to funnel the current offshore, which can pull against a swimmer.”

Regenye continued, “If you feel a rip current or think you might be in one, NEVER swim against it. Try to stay calm, float or tread water and then swim perpendicular to the current, which usually means parallel to the shore.”

Another dangerous item beachgoers face has nothing to do with water. It’s alcohol – and too much of it. Alcohol is one of the biggest factors in drownings on recreational beaches, and studies show that 50 percent of all drowning victims over the age of 13 had significantly high blood-alcohol content.

Here are some tips to have a safe time at the beach: Never swim alone and if possible use a “buddy” system to check on each other.

Swim near a lifeguard and always make sure the lifeguard is visible. Also check out the conditions of the water from the lifeguards.

Most drownings occur where no lifeguard is present.

Wear a Coast-Guard approved lifejacket and avoid cheap plastic rafts, especially when a person is a weak swimmer. Be aware that currents and offshore wind may move floating objects quickly away from the beach.

Stay close to kids. Don’t let children swim near permanent structures because there is a much higher chance of a rip current there.

Keep a close eye on kids as they tend to wander off by themselves at a crowded beach.

Point out the lifeguard stand to them in case they cannot find you.

7 Cool Things to Do with Cucumbers

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Once summer rolls around there’s always one or t wo cucu mbe r s i n my fridge. Cucumbers have a lot of health benefits, and they’re actually a fruit, not a vegetable. They’re in the same family as melons, zucchini and pumpkin.

Cucumbers have many active components, among them is an anti-inf lammatory f lavonol called “fisetin,” which supports brain health. Cucumbers offer compounds that are antioxidants, so they help prevent systemic rusting. Here’s some fresh ways to use cucumbers: 1. Soothe itchy eyes. Cut two slices off and lay upon your eyes. This feels especially comfy if you have red, itchy eyes from whatever’s blooming. You can also cut slices and put in a jar of water and infuse the water for an hour (refrigerate), then make a compress out of the cucumber water. Squeeze it and lay that upon your eyes.

2. Juice them. They contain lariciresinol, pinoresinol and secoisolariciresinol which are three important compounds when it comes to reducing risk of reproductive cancers (ovarian, breast, uterine, prostate). Secoisolariciresinol is also found in f lax.

3. Heal burns. Cut the slices lengthwise and apply to areas of sunburn, or use the compress idea from above.

4. Drink them. Cut cucumbers into 1/2 slices along with 1/4 slices of lemon and put into a beautiful glass decanter or carafe with some ice. Let it

marinate for an hour and then drink all day. Among the many health benefits, you may notice a mild diuretic effect that could help with blood pressure and weight loss.

5. Eat them. The profound medicinal benefits of cucumbers are not apparent to you. I bet you walk right past them in the produce section all the time.

These guys can block COX2 enzymes (similar to Celebrex, a popular medication) dampening down pain-causing cytokines. While cucumbers are not as strong as drugs, I’d still chop some into your salad along with fresh tomatoes and basil leaves. Finish with cilantro-lime vinaigrette. This salad adds fiber, which in turn helps you manage weight.

6. Treat acne with it. Cucumbers have the ability to remove dirt, dead skin cells, bacteria and left over make-up residue. It naturally calms and cools a red or inf lamed area. Put a quarter of an unpeeled cucumber in your food grinder along with a tablespoon of witch hazel and 2 drops of tea tree oil and 5 drops lavender. Grind to a smooth consistency and apply as a ‘mask’ or dab on an area.

7. Make a toner for your face. Slice cucumbers into two cups pure distilled water. Strain out the cucumbers so you are left with cucumber water. Add one tablespoon of organic aloe vera leaf juice, 10 drops essential oil of lavender and five drops of jasmine. For oily skin add five drops of helichrysum. If you have dry skin, use rose oil.

Physical Therapy and the Treatment of Vertigo

by Alyssa Pillco, DPT

A question I am often asked when people are diagnosed with positional vertigo is, “Can physical therapy really help my dizziness?” They are usually surprised to find out that physical therapy has been shown to effectively treat positional vertigo and that many of our patients are now symptom free after one treatment session.

WHAT IS POSITIONAL VERTIGO? The type of vertigo I am referring to is called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and it is the most common form of vertigo in both men and women age 60 and older. BPPV is an inner ear disorder that begins when the sensory receptors of the ear known as the Otoconia, made up of calcium-carbonate crystals, break away from their normal home in the utricle (see figure 1) and begin floating around in one of the ear’s three canals. The most common canal these crystals get dislodged into is called the posterior canal. This canal is responsible for telling the brain which direction (up or down) your head is moving in when you move it. The canals play an important part in balance because they send signals to your brain to let it know exactly which position your head is in at every given moment in time. This enables you to have clear vision and helps you maintain balance.

WHY DO THE CRYSTALS FLOAT OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE? Normal aging is the most common reason the crystals break away and float out of the utricle. As the inner ear ages, some of the crystals can “loosen” spontaneously and float into the posterior canal. Other reasons the crystals of the ear loosen can be attributed to head trauma, viruses that affect the ear, migraines, and, sometimes prolonged periods of inactivity.

Figure 1

SYMPTOMS OF BPPV Once dislodged crystals get into the ear’s posterior canal, head movements such as looking up or down, bending forward or rolling onto the affected ear can trigger an onset of symptoms. These symptoms may include vertigo (a room-spinning sensation), dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, unsteadiness and/ or loss of balance. The vertigo symptoms usually come on suddenly and can last up to 60 seconds until the dislodged crystals stop floating around and settle in again at the bottom of the posterior canal. The onset of symptoms usually occurs again each time the person initiates a head movement into one of the provoking head positions; hence the term “positional vertigo”. The condition will cease only when the crystals are out of the posterior canal.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF BPPV BPPV can easily be diagnosed by using the Dix-Hallpike Maneuver (See Figure 2). This is where we position the patient in an upright seated position and then passively move them into a lying position where the head is extended off of the treatment table and rotated right or left to a 45 degree angle. This position usually provokes the patient’s symptoms. The patient is also asked to keep their eyes open during the maneuver so we can detect if “nystagmus” (eye beating) is present. If nystagmus is present, we are able to figure out which canal is affected based on the direction the eyes beat toward. This maneuver is considered the gold-standard for diagnosing BPPV and also indicates to us which of the two ears are affected.

After the maneuver is performed, our next goal is to try to get the dislodged crystals out of the posterior

Figure 2

canal and back into the Utricle where they belong.

We do this by using a sequence of head positions called the Canalith Repositioning Treatment (CRT).

The CRT moves the crystals out of the canal and repositions them back into the Utricle where they either settle or get reabsorbed. Studies show the CRT is effective 80% of the time and helps rid patients of their symptoms in one week. Yes! – I said one week! Patients are always amazed that their symptoms can be relieved in one week with only one simple head treatment – but it’s true and I’ve seen great results with the patients we have treated throughout the years at All-Care.

After the CRT is performed, patients are given a protocol they have to follow for one week after their treatment. This consists of avoiding activities that require them to bend forward, tilt their head upwards, or turn their head quickly to the left or right. They must also avoid sleeping on the affected ear. Patients are advised to sleep propped up or on their backs to ensure the crystals don’t float back into the posterior canal. One week after treatment and appropriately following the protocol, the patient should notice a complete cessation of symptoms and should be able to return to life as normal, making their physical therapy treatment a complete success!

because their health is more important.

With increases in lung ailments, autism and asthma something must be done and done soon.

Although not a perfect solution to the devastation, a 14-foot pollution, noise and safety wall needs to be constructed in many areas of Brick Township, and tens of thousands of trees need to be replanted to correct some of the destruction caused by the NJTA. I am hopeful that the Commissioners of the NJTA are just short sighted, incompetent individuals who think that 3 to 5 foot trees will cure the ills caused by their authorization of the illegal and immoral destruction of the environment surrounding the Garden State Parkway in the Brick Township area.

I am hoping that they are just ignorant individuals who don’t know the harm they are causing to the health of tens of thousands of Brick residents. I am not of the belief

that they NJTA Commissioners are truly evil people who only care about their own pocketbooks at the expense of the health of thousands of New Jersey’s citizens, but something needs to change.

As seen in election results, the people are fighting back against the big government-spawned bureaucracies, and our local representatives need to stand with them and demand action now. Bureaucracies use delaying tactics, lies, and misstatements to overwhelm the citizens but the citizens and their representatives must demand immediate. The people’s representatives, must stand with the residents and not the big bureaucracies like the NJTA Commissioners. These Commissioners have shown they don’t care about the residents of Brick or the opinions of the citizens’ representatives so we all must stand strong and defeat these lies, tactics and deception. We must stop the abuse. Hopefully this is still a country of the people, by the people and for the people!

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

The Wealth Was All Mother’s Dear Joel My husband and I keep our monies separated. We decided this because this is a second marriage for each of us.

I want to leave my money to my children and none to my husband. He is upset with me and it has become a big bone of contention between us.

I feel like my first husband earned it and that my kids should inherit it. Who is right?

Answer: If you are a regular reader of my column.

You already know that I prefer not to deal with right and wrong. If I were to do that it would only add to suffering. Additionally I am not an attorney. There are certain

states where a spouse is automatically eligible to receive part of the estate. Not knowing what state you live in, I can’t answer that part of this accurately. I suggest that you have a consultation with an attorney.

I want to add that this is your “will.” It is yours to do as you wish. I wish you a long healthy life.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Cooking With The Kids: Old-Fashioned Pudding Recipe Is A Timeless Classic

By Wolfgang Puck

CHICKEN SCALOPPINI MARSALA WITH MUSHROOMS Serves 4 1 cup (250 mL) dry white wine 1 cup (250 mL) seedless raisins 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, each 5 to 6 ounces (150 to 185 g), cut crosswise and diagonally into 2 equal pieces Extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped shallots 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic 3/4 pound (750 g) cultivated mushrooms, stems trimmed, caps thinly sliced 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed 3 large fresh sage leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried sage 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce or good-quality bottled barbecue sauce 3/4 cup (185 mL) heavy cream Chopped fresh Italian parsley, for garnish Good-quality canned chicken broth, or water, if needed In a small saute pan or saucepan, combine the white wine and raisins. Bring to a boil over high heat; then, turn off the heat and set aside to steep.

Meanwhile, coat the chicken breasts with a little oil.

Place 2 halves, spaced apart, in a large heavy-duty plastic bag. With a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy small saucepan, gently flatten the pieces to scaloppini 1/4 to 1/3 inch (6 to 8 mm) thick. Repeat with the remaining halves.

Arrange the scaloppini on parchment paper. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Dust very lightly but evenly on both sides with flour.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add the scaloppini, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once and adding a little butter. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with more oil as needed and the chicken.

Spoon excess fat from the skillet, leaving a thin glaze.

Add the shallots and garlic. Saute until the shallots begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper, and the sage. Saute until the mushrooms are browned and tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the reserved white wine and, if you like, raisins.

Otherwise, strain the wine through a sieve and discard the raisins. Cook, stirring and scraping to deglaze the pan deposits, until the liquid reduces by half, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove the sage. Stir in the hoisin or barbecue sauce and simmer to thicken slightly. Stir in the cream and bring to a simmer.

Return the scaloppini to the pan. Simmer about 1 minute to rewarm them while stirring with a spoon to coat them with the sauce. Sprinkle with some parsley. If the sauce looks too thick, thin with a little broth or water.

Divide the chicken scaloppini among serving plates.

Spoon the sauce over and around the chicken. Sprinkle with more parsley. Serve immediately.
