By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The Ocean County Fair remains a place where everyone in Ocean County is welcome to a day or evening out to enjoy some old-fashioned fun. While some of it has changed over the years, it still retains the feel of a neighborhood event of wholesome entertainment, said fair manager Jeff Adams. Volunteers are always hard at work reinvesting in their community. The board putting it together is all volunteers. The ticket gates are run by the Toms River Mariners Marching Band as a fundraiser for them. Explorer youth cadets from the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department and surrounding towns will serve as parking attendants. Inside, it hearkens back to the kind of fairs that you visited as a kid. Boardwalk-style games of chance and skill will fill the midway. The sound of carnival rides – and people on them – echo from the tree line. Lines of community groups and small businesses set up in booths, mixed in with food vendors. It all still has a classic feel to it. “We trace our lineage back to 1947,” Adams said. It was an agriculture day, back then, when farmers would show off their crops that year. It was called the “4-H Achievement and Agricultural Ocean County Field Day.” Held on September 6, there were contests for entries like (Fair - See Page 4)
Ocean, Monmouth All-Stars Face Off
By Chris Christopher WEST LONG BRANCH – Chase Stephensen, clutching an award, was surrounded by family and friends. The recent Lacey Township High School graduate received hugs, handshakes and kisses at midfield after being named the Defensive Most Valuable Player of the game for the Ocean County All-Stars after
their 17-8 loss to the Monmouth County AllStars in the 40th annual All-Shore Gridiron Classic at Shore Regional. “The award means I hopefully will have a lot of success when I play in college,” said Stephensen, who will play for Kutztown University. “The rest of the defense helped me a lot. My coaches put me in (All-Stars - See Page 5)

Public Hearing Near On Gas Pipeline Proposed Line To Run Through Plumsted, Manchester
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – A public hearing on whether to allow a 30-mile natural gas pipeline through Manchester and Plumsted townships will be held in Toms River on July 26 at the Pine Belt Arena. This venue is located on the premises of Toms River High School North, 1245 Old Freehold Road. The doors will open at 9 a.m. and the hearing is expected to begin at around 9:30 a.m. New Jersey Natural Gas is proposing this pipeline in order to guarantee quality of service for 1 million customers, while environmentalists are challenging it because they are concerned that spills could damage the Pinelands and the water supply for the area. The Southern Reliability Link, as NJNG is calling it, (Pipeline - See Page 16)
HOWELL WOMAN STEALS CAR WITH DOG INSIDE By Sara Grillo JACKSON – Jackson Police arrested a 29-year-old Howell woman on July 5 after she stole a vehicle with a dog inside outside the Quick Chek on Leesville Road. The woman who had her car stolen left her 2011 Hyundai unlocked with the keys in the ignition while she went inside the convenience store, and when she came out, her car was missing, along with her Shih Tzu dog and iPhone that were left inside. She told responding Officers Sean Greenberger and Stephen Cilento that she saw a woman leaning against a post in front of the Quick Chek as she went inside, and that both the woman and her car were gone when she came back out. A good Samaritan lent the victim their phone so she could use the Find My iPhone app to track down (Woman - See Page 4)

highest yield or largest corn. You could also attend seminars to get information from seed companies. There were an estimated 500 attendees. It was originally held at Ocean County Park in Lakewood, but in 1982 it was moved to its current location, at the Robert J. Miller Air Park in Berkeley. This allowed more room for amusements, horse riding, and more. While the venue has changed, and the audience is mostly not farmers, there are certain things that have not. There are still awards and expositions for agriculture. This comes from the still-intact connection to the 4-H after all these decades. Amusements of America will be bringing the rides. They are the same outfit that has come the last few years, Adams said. Like everything else in the fair, their rides will be a balance of favorites and new things. Unfortunately, they retired the Ferris wheel they had. That was a crowd pleaser. Performances There are several acts that are performing throughout the fair, often more than once. “Some of these people are sought after” and are hard to book, Adams said. Scott DeCarlo, in particular, couldn’t be fit into the schedule last year. “This year, we had to fight to get him because he’s in demand.” The Amish Outlaws, the fair’s headliner, are performing in the main tent on Wednesday, at 7 and 9 p.m. Doc Swan’s Magical Comedy Act is on Thursday, at 7 and 9 p.m. He was a staple of the fair for a few years, and has now returned. Country band After the Reign is performing on Friday, at 7 and 9 p.m. Cowboy Larry’s Wild, Wild West Show will be on Friday and Saturday nights as well. R&B Express, performing Doo-Wop and oldies, will be on the stage at 2 p.m. on Saturday. Country singer Scott DeCarlo will be performing on Saturday at 7 and 9 p.m. Kaotic Control will be performing at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Rock N Roll Chorus, from Long Branch, will also be performing.

The app showed that the phone was traveling westbound on Interstate 195, which allowed Officer Greenberger to contact the State Police and update dispatch with the phone’s location. The suspect, Jaclyn Rose, was stopped on Route 129 in Trenton and identified as the same woman standing in front of the Quick Chek. Jackson Police took the victim to the location to retrieve her car, dog and iPhone.
These shows are being done at various times from Wednesday to Sunday: RC Car demonstrations, and a Chainsaw Carver. The carver has won awards internationally. He will be doing demonstrations, where he takes a block of wood and gives it new life in about 20-30 minutes. Animal Shows What’s a county fair without animal shows? There are several going on throughout the week. A western gaming horse show will be in the horse show ring at 5 p.m. on Friday. At 5 p.m. on Saturday, there will be the Team Sorting Horse Event. Marvelous Mutts, Commerford Zoo, and the Pig Races will be scheduled throughout the fair, from Wednesday to Sunday. Marvelous Mutts has trained dogs perform such feats as races and swimming pool acrobatics. Commerford features an exotic petting zoo, with creatures such as lemurs and yaks. They have an elephant and camel ride. The pig races are just what you imagine they would be, a track with packs of piglets running through them, all given ridiculous names. Fair Food And of course there must be fair food. Corn dogs and funnel cake as far as the eye can see. But wait, there’s more! Just as the other festivities are a mix of classics and new, the food selections will be a mix of traditional fair food and new selections. You’ll see kettle corn on the traditional side, and falafel on the nontraditional side. With the popularity of food trucks, there will be more of them making appearances. Schedule The Ocean County Fair will be from July 12 through 16 at the Robert J. Miller Air Park on Route 530 in Berkeley Township. The hours are as follows: Thursday, July 13, 5 to 11 p.m. Friday, July 14, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, July 15, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday, July 16, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fair admission is $8. Children younger than 10 are free.
Troopers from the State Police processed and signed complaints against Rose at Hamilton Barracks. She was charged with two counts of theft – one for the vehicle and one for the dog – and also with driving on a suspended license. Rose also had an outstanding warrant for her arrest out of Ewing and Hamilton Townships and was eventually lodged in the Ocean County Jail. Jackson Police have responded to similar incidents in the past, and remind all residents to lock their vehicles and not to leave keys in the ignition while their vehicles are unattended.

Continued From Page 1 the right spots. The biggest things were to play in my last high school game in front of my family and friends, put on big hits and do my job.” Stephensen played strong safety for Ocean. “I had to cover the other team’s tight end,” he said. With 3:14 left in the first half, Stephensen recovered a fumble at the Ocean 1-yard line. “Nick Page (of Toms River South) knocked the ball loose and it was on the ground,” Stephensen said. “I saw it on the ground. A couple of guys dove for the ball and I pounced on it.” Stephensen pounced on his chance to play for Kutztown. “I talked to a couple of guys and they enjoyed it there,” he said. “They won their conference last year. When I visited the school, it felt like home to me. I went to a couple of camps there and I felt it was what college should feel like.” Stephensen, a 6-foot, 215-pounder, played three years of varsity ball for the Lions under coach Lou Vircillo. “It’s definitely sad to wear the Lacey helmet for the last time,” he said. “I have played football in Lacey since the age of seven, beginning in Pop Warner. I am excited for what’s ahead – college football. It was a privilege for me to play for Lacey and to play in this game.” Ocean coach L.J. Clark, the Lakewood Piners’ mentor, said he enjoyed working with Stephensen, recruited as a hybrid linebacker-safety. “He’s tough,” Clark said. “He brings it in every game. I saw him play in (Shore Conference) Class B South during the regular season last
The Jackson Times, July 15, 2017, Page 5 fall and he brings his hard hat to work. It was a pleasure to coach him this week. He’s a great kid. He’s a super competitor.” Adi Palmer, who starred for Lakewood, was named Ocean’s Offensive Most Valuable Player after catching five passes for 55 yards. Marlboro running back Cameron Caorsi was honored as Monmouth’s Offensive Most Valuable Player after rushing for a Classic single-game record 179 yards and one touchdown on 26 carries, turning the artificial surface of Robert E. Feeney Field into a greyhound track. Caorsi will attend Brookdale Community College, which does not have a football team. Keyport player Zach Frick was named Monmouth’s Defensive Most Valuable Player. Monmouth, which led the game from start to finish, took a 6-0 lead with 1:49 left in the first quarter when running back Paul Reed of Asbury Park caught a 5-yard screen pass on the left sideline from St. John Vianney’s Matt DeGennaro. Freehold Township’s Tyler Schulman kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead after Monmouth drove 60 yards on 12 plays. Schulman pushed the lead to 10-0 with a 29yard field goal with 8:59 to go in the first half. Caorsi made it 16-0 with 10:44 left in the third quarter, scoring on a 3-yard touchdown run; Schulman’s PAT put Monmouth up 17-0. Ocean sliced its deficit to 17-6 with 4:12 to go in the game when Anthony Costanza of Brick Township tossed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Hayden Frey of Point Pleasant Boro. Costanza connected on a pass to Central Regional’s Mike Bickford for the two-point conversion, producing the final score. GRID GOSSIP: Caorsi broke the record of 161 yards set by Joe (The Jet) Henderson of
Freehold in 1986. Monmouth, which leads the series 21-18-1, snapped Ocean’s three-game winning streak. Former Brick Township assistant coach Bob Spada and ex-Matawan mentor Butch Britton were inducted into the Shore Coaches Football Foundation Hall of Fame during a halftime ceremony. Spada was a part of 18 Brick championships. The SCFC presented the game. The game’s public address announcer was Tommy Farrell, a former Monsignor Donovan (now Donovan Catholic) player. “I can’t believe it’s been four years since I played in the same game and served as a captain for Ocean County,” the former Griffin said on his Facebook page. Farrell’s father, Tom, is the superintendent of the Shore Regional High School District. He played and coached football for the Griffins. He coached football at New Egypt where he served as principal before becoming a Shore administrator. Young Farrell played football for the Griffins. Carol Frank Brown and her husband, Donovan Brown, hosted a fettuccine dinner at their Brick home during the several days of practice prior to the game. It was for Brick players and their Ocean County teammates. “It was so much fun to see them together as friends and not as foes!” Frank Brown said on her Facebook page. “Lots of laughs!! Go Ocean!!!” Ocean assistant coach Len Zdanowicz Jr., the Brick Green Dragons’ mentor, participated in his sixth Classic with six of his players. Zdanowicz Jr. played center for Ocean, representing the Green Dragons in 1990. “I look back on the numerous friendships that I
made with my ‘sworn enemies’ from neighboring towns and feel so grateful for the opportunity given to me by my coaches,” he said. “Thank you coach Wolf (Warren Wolf, then Brick’s head coach), Jim Calabro and Kevin Campbell (Brick assistant coaches).” SCORING SUMMARY Monmouth: Reed 5 pass from DeGennaro (Schulman kick) Monmouth: Schulman 29 field goal Monmouth: Caorsi 3 run (Schulmann kick) Ocean: Frey 12 pass from Costanza (Bickford from Costanza) STATISTICS First downs: Ocean 9, Monmouth 13 Yards rushing: Ocean 26-54, Monmouth 48-218 Passes attempted: Ocean 15, Monmouth 19 Passes completed: Ocean 10, Monmouth 11 Passing yardage: Ocean 119, Monmouth 85 Intercepted by, return yardage: Ocean 0-0, Monmouth Hazard 2-0 Punts: Ocean 3-32, Monmouth 0-0 Penalties: Ocean 2-30, Monmouth 0-0 Fumbles: Ocean 2, Monmouth 1 Fumbles lost: Ocean 1, Monmouth 1 Individual rushing: Ocean: Costanza 15-48, Bickford 6-8, McCall 2-(-1),Cammarata 3-(-1).

Ongoing Alleged Fraud In Lakewood Reaches $2.4 Million
By Sara Grillo LAKEWOOD – As Ocean County and Federal law enforcement officials continue their investigation into the recent defrauding of Medicaid and other government assistance programs, 12 additional Lakewood residents have been served complaint summonses for allegedly collecting thousands of dollars in fraudulent benefits.
As of last week, 14 people had been arrested between June 26 and 27 for collecting roughly $2 million in government assistance benefits they were allegedly not entitled to. A total of 26 people have now been arrested, with the total alleged fraud reaching nearly $2.4 million. The following couples were most recently served complaint summonses for 3rd Degree
Theft by Deception by Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office detectives and collaborating agencies: • Eliezer and Elkie Sorotzkin of West Spruce Street allegedly wrongfully collected approximately $74,960 in Medicaid benefits between January 2011 and December 2013. • Samuel and Esther Serhofer of Whispering Pines Lane allegedly wrongfully collected
approximately $72,685 in Medicaid benefits between January 2009 and December 2013. • Yisroel and Rachel Merkin of Hermosa Drive allegedly wrongfully collected approximately $70,557.51 in Medicaid, SNAP and HEAP benefits between January 2011 and December 2014. • Jerome Menchel and Mottel Friedman of Pressburg Lane allegedly wrongfully collected $63,839 in Medicaid and SNAP benefits between January 2011 and July 2014. • Tzvi and Estee Braun of Ridge Avenue allegedly wrongfully collected $62,746.74 in Medicaid, HEAP and CICRF benefits between January 2009 and December 2013. • Moshe and Nechama Hirschmann of Emmanuel Drive allegedly wrongfully collected $53,418.39 in Medicaid and SNAP benefits between January 2011 and December 2015. It is alleged that the charged individuals misrepresented their incomes by claiming amounts that were low enough to benefit from the government programs, when their actual incomes were too high for them to quality. They also failed to disclose on the applications additional income they were receiving from other sources. As a result, the individuals were able to receive government benefits that they and their families were not entitled to. Additional arrests and charges may result as the cases move through the legal process. If anyone has information about these incidents, they should contact Sergeant Mark Malinowski of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027.
21-Gun Salute Shell Donated
By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – A shell from a 21gun salute fired at a funeral for a local soldier whose remains were recently identified was donated to the county historical society. First Class Machinist’s Mate Earl R. Melton, Lakewood, was serving on the USS Oklahoma, when it was sank during the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. He was 24. The bodies were placed in a mass grave after they were recovered, because there was no way, in 1941, to identify them all, Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari explained at the most recent Ocean County Freeholder’s meeting. Since then, technology has advanced to the point where forensic scientists could identify people’s remains. So, the grave was opened. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia on June 28. Ed McBride, a Marine who works in the consumer affairs department and works with POW/MIA causes, and John Dorrity, director of the county’s Veterans Service Bureau, attended the ceremony on behalf of the county. A relative of Melton’s collected one of the shells from his 21-gun salute and gave it to Dorrity. Dorrity said he decided that it belonged to the county, and donated it to the historical society.

Dancer Bill Using Excess Food From School Cafeterias To Feed The Hungry Passes Assembly Capitol Comments Assemblyman Ronald Dancer 12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson
NEW JERSEY – Legislation sponsored by Assemblymen Ron Dancer and Parker Space making more
food available to soup kitchens and food banks won Assembly approval. The bill (A3056) encour-
ages schools and colleges to donate excess food to feed the poor through nonprofit organizations. “It’s shameful to throw good food in the dumpster when people who are hungry need a good meal,” said Dancer (R-Ocean). “This is an effort to get schools to donate surplus food so that people who cannot afford it because
they have fallen on hard times or are on a f ixed income can feed their families. This is basic common sense.” The measure requires the Depar t ment of Environmental Protection, working with other state agencies, to develop guidelines to encourage school districts and colleges to contribute surplus food,
and to partner with nonprofit organizations to facilitate the cost-effective, safe, sanitary means for donation. It also expands the Food Bank Good Samaritan Act, providing legal immunity to school districts that donate food. “Often, school cafeterias have considerable amounts of good, nutritious food left over every day which
is thrown out because there is no other viable option,” said Space (R-Sussex). “We can help people from going hungry and, at the same time, help the environment by reducing the amount of trash generated by schools. This bill creates a process for packing and shipping this food to centers where it will feed families.”
Filing Deadline For School Board Candidates Nearing
NEW JERSEY – Candidates seeking school board seats have until 4 p.m. on Monday, July 31 to file their nominating petitions at the Ocean County Clerk’s Office in order to have their name placed on the November 7 General Election Ballot, according to Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella. Nominating petitions for School Board can be obtained in person at either the Ocean County Clerk’s Main Office, at the Ocean County Courthouse, Election Services, Room 107 at 118 Washington Street in Toms
River, or at the Ocean County Southern Service Center, 179 South Main Street in Manahawkin. The offices are staffed from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. “The Ocean County Clerk’s Office makes every effort to inform potential candidates of approaching filing deadlines,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, who serves as liaison to the County Clerk. “Through the office’s website, social media, and other avenues, County Clerk Colabella provides the information need-
ed by both candidates and voters.” Colabella noted it was important that candidates get their paperwork in on time. “This is what guarantees their place on the ballot,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. Colabella noted that all Ocean County school districts now hold their Board of Education elections in November. “A law signed by the Governor in 2014 moved the petition filing deadline for school board candidates from June to the last Monday in July

Jackson Police Department Patrol Blotter
JACKSON – The following is a sample of incidents that Jackson Patrol Officers recently responded to or were involved with. This does not represent all of the calls for service that were responded to during this time period. Monday, June 26: OVERDOSE/WARRANT ARREST: At 4:46 a.m., officers and first aid responded to a residence on Goldweber Avenue on the report of an overdose.

–Photo courtesy Plumsted Township Plumsted Township Committeeman is sworn in beside his wife Melissa, daughter Aubrey, 7, and son Landon, 5, during a special committee meeting. PLUMSTED – Township officials swore in Republican Larry Jones to fill a vacant committee spot during a special June 21 committee meeting. Jones will fill the vacant position of Michael H. Wysong, who resigned from office on June 8. Wysong was present during the meeting to watch Jones take the oath of office, which was administered by 12th District Assemblyman Ron Dancer. “It has been my honor and privilege to serve the residents of Plumsted Township on the governing body these past five and a half years. My recreational pursuits in retirement are conflicting with my responsibilities as a committeeman; thereby, not affording me the time that is needed to adequately perform and fulfill my duties. It is in the best interest of the township that I step aside at this time,” Wysong said in a June 5 letter to the governing body. Deputy Mayor Eric A. Sorchik, who also serves as the Republican Party Municipal Chairman, said that since Wysong is a Repub-
lican, it was up to the Plumsted Republican Committee to present the governing body with three names for consideration, one of which could be selected, or the party could be asked to submit other nominations. “Any of the three would have made a good fit,” Mayor Jack A. Trotta said. “I am very pleased and honored to have been chosen and I look forward to working for the betterment of the community as a member of the committee,” Jones said. He was joined by his wife Melissa, his daughter Aubrey, 7, and his son Landon, 5, as he took the oath of office surrounded by Mayor Jack A. Trotta, Committeeman Herb Marinari and Deputy Mayor Sorchik. “I’ve known Larry Jones for many years and he will do well,” Committeeman Marinari said. Wysong’s term of office ends on December 31 of this year. Jones said he plans to run for a full term of office this fall. If successful, his term would start during the Plumsted Township reorganization meeting of January 2018.

People with perfectly normal hearing are able to hear and understand much of the sound around them automatically. They do not have to get help from lip reading. They do not have to concentrate. They do not have to stop what they are doing. They just hear. Someone with a hearing loss does not have the luxury of automatic hearing. If you have a hearing loss, you have to pay close attention, use lip reading when you can and concentrate. Hearing and understanding do not happen automatically. Hearing takes attention and energy and you just can’t do it 12 or 14 hours a day. Hearing aids allow you to hear better and that is great. But it may be just as important that hearing aids allow you to hear with less effort and energy. They allow you to be more relaxed as you communicate with the people around you. Of course, you cannot listen carefully fulltime and there will be times when you do not hear as well as other times. You may not hear as well if you are tired, under stress or
you are thinking about something else. That is why we suggest that anyone speaking to you gets your attention before speaking. On the other hand, if you are ready and if you are paying attention, you can hear better than you really want to. You just can not do it full time. Actually, many people with hearing loss are able to hear and communicate surprisingly well in spite of hearing only 50 or 60 percent of the speech sounds. But, we live in a very demanding hearing world and sometimes anything less than 80 to 90 percent is just not good enough. If someone tells you, “Okay, I will see you on the 15th,” and you hear “Okay, I will see you on the 16th,” it was not enough to hear most of the message. So the next time someone says “you can hear me when you really want to,” you can correct them: “No, you mean I can hear you when I really work at it.” Remember, if have hearing loss, hearing takes attention and energy. You can do it 12 to 14 hours a day.

JACKSON – Bartley Healthcare Nursing and Rehabilitation’s latest recognition is the accreditation in Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI). With that accreditation, Bartley has received the Embracing Quality Award for 2016. Bartley has partnered with quality care leader Providigm, a developer and champion of quality assessment methods and measures for post-acute and long-term care facilities that tracks outstanding performances in those areas. The Providigm Embracing Quality Awards for 2016 reflect excellence based on three performance measures during the calendar year of 2016. Bartley Healthcare has received an award in at least one of three categories, which include: Deficiency-Free Survey, Readmission Prevention and Customer Satisfaction. The Providigm philosophy of Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) is integral to the Embracing Quality Awards. Only organizations that have achieved Basic or Advanced QAPI Accreditation are eligible for an award to ensure that systems are in place to continue providing the same caliber
of care. QAPI is essential for sustained high performance. Embracing Quality Awardees are determined based on absolute criteria for extremely high performance. Providigm believes that an extremely high bar can be defined for all to strive to achieve. Given how few organizations were able to meet the Embracing Quality award criteria, there is no question that as award winners, Bartley is a leading group. For over 31 years, Bartley Healthcare has provided quality individual focused skilled nursing, rehabilitation and assisted living services for residents on its 25-acre campus in Jackson.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Some Pharmacists Are Losers And Some Are Heroes By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. About 100 years ago, during Prohibition, apothecaries were the place to hang out since the neighborhood bars had closed. The corner drugstore was where people traded “hard” liquor in for “soft” drinks and it was also a time when pharmacists were actual chemists blending herbals and medicinals all day long. Did you know Coca Cola syrup was invented by pharmacist John Pemberton back in 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia? Fast forward to today where Coca Cola is a global smash, and medications are commercially prepared by multi-billion dollar corporations, not people. Some have said the pharmacist’s role is more along the lines of “lick, stick and pour.” Ah, but that’s just a saying. Oregon and New Mexico just signed into law a bill that allows pharmacists to prescribe and dispense birth control pills to women straight out of the pharmacy, without an on-site physical exam or lab work. This may sound weird to you, but the precedent was set years ago when pharmacists were granted prescribing rights to administer certain flu vaccines. The ability for pharmacists to prescribe contraception saves valuable time and money for all parties involved, but it does beg the question: Which prescription drugs are going to one day be put on the “allowed to be prescribed” formulary? And in regard to birth control pills, are the pharmacists (or any prescriber) advising women to supplement with what their medication will deplete? ‘The Pill’ reduces your magnesium, selenium and crucial B vitamins which can contribute to you feeling depressed, overweight, hypothyroid
and tired. I suggest you put back what the “Drug Mugger” stole. Pharmacists have once more been distinguished as one of the most honest, ethical professionals in the United States. But some pharmacists give the practice a bad name. For example, this past June Massachusetts pharmacist Barry Cadden was sentenced to nine years in prison because he compounded injectable steroids that were contaminated, which led to the deaths of 76 people in 2012. Contrast that with the quick-thinking pharmacist who just saved 57-year-old Mark Davey’s life. Mark was eating lunch, and out of the blue, his tongue started to swell up. He drove himself to CVS Pharmacy to buy Benadryl, but when he arrived he began gasping. Pharmacist Bhavini Patel was working that day, and she called paramedics, and then injected Mark with the drug EpiPen (epinephrine) from her pharmacy in an attempt to save his life. It worked! Mark was experiencing an “anaphylactic” allergy to his food and she knew it. I applaud Pharmacist Patel, she is a true hero. Even though it may have possibly gone against store policy to administer the shot, she did what she felt was right and compassionate to save this man’s life. How awesome?! Mark is alive because pharmacists are not just there to lick, stick and pour. We are healers by nature and interested in getting you well. I wish I could go back in time and own one of those apothecaries where I could create amazing custom-blended natural remedies, as well as fizzy soft drinks around my “neighborhood bar.”

Pipeline:
Continued From Page 1 would begin in Chesterfield, linking to the Transco transmission line. The path of the pipeline would travel through North Hanover, Upper Freehold, and Plumsted. Then, it would go through Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and Manchester Township. The line would run through existing rights-of-way. The roads listed are: • Bordentown Chesterfield Road and New Jersey Turnpike (start) • Bordentown Chesterfield Road (Route 528) • Arneytown Chesterfield Road (Route 528/664) • Province Line Road • Monmouth Road (Route 537) • Hornerstown Road (Route 26) • Pinehurst Road (Route 539) • Lakewood Road (Route 528) • Fischer Road (Route 24) • West Colliers Mills Road (Route 640) • Pinehurst Road (Route 539) • Easement with i n Joi nt Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst • Easement along Route 70 • Route 70 and Colonial Drive (end) The purpose of the public hearing is just to record comments from residents. No action would be taking place. It is being held by the Pinelands Commission, an independent state agency that oversees such projects. The commission has already stated that the pipeline is consistent with the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan, a document that governs economic and recreational activity within the Pinelands. This will be the only opportunity for oral comments to be entered into the record. The written comment period would close at 5 p.m. on Aug. 2. Written comments can be sent to the New Jersey Pinelands Commission at P.O. Box 359, New Lisbon, NJ 08064. The Commission can be contacted via email at njngcomment@njpines.state. nj.us, but emails will not be entered into the official record. Anyone wishing to view files in relation to the gas company’s application can do so by appointment, by calling 609-894-7300. After the public comment period is over, the Commission will prepare a recommendation to state whether they still believe that the pipeline is appropriate. The recommendation will be posted on its website 10 days prior to the Commission meeting where it will be discussed. A Need For The Pipeline The pipeline was approved by the state Board of Public Utilities and Department of Environmental Protection, said Mike Kinney, a spokesman for New Jersey Natural Gas. “Eighty-five percent of the natural gas in Monmouth, Ocean, and Burlington counties come from one feed on the northern end of the system,” he said. This is where the system hooks up to Texas Eastern. This is a 9,096-mile line from Texas and the gulf coast to the tri-state area. Any disruption of the NJNG system to the north, or Texas Eastern, would seriously threaten gas usage for 1 million customers in 83 municipalities, he said. Additionally, when there are major disasters, like there
–Map courtesy NJ Natural Gas This map details the route that the Southern Reliability Pipeline would take. was in Superstorm Sandy, the customers on the southern end of the map have less of a chance of having gas. “That experience made us look at our system,” he said. This is why “Reliability” is in the pipeline’s name. The goal is to make sure that, even in an emergency, there is a back-up that can still supply the area with natural gas when it’s needed, he said. Environmental Concerns Environmentalists are concerned over building a pipeline through the Pinelands, saying that the Pinelands are supposed to be protected from this kind of encroachment. Two residents questioned the Southern Reliability Link pipeline at the latest Ocean County Freeholders meeting. Raven Potosky, of Manchester, said the pipeline going through town was “very concerning.” She was worried that the pipe, going through the Pinelands, would endanger the aquifer below it, either when it was being installed or through any future spillage. “It’s a direct threat to our water supply,” she said. Peggy Middaugh, another Manchester resident, echoed those comments. “We don’t see any need for it where we are,” she said. The residents asked the Freeholders to speak out on behalf of the county to oppose the pipeline. About five months ago, Potosky had also asked the Freeholders to oppose the South Jersey Gas Cape Atlantic Reliability Project. Ocean County has three representatives on the Pinelands Commission, but only one that was placed there by county officials. This is Alan Avery, the chairman of the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Advisory Committee, which suggests land to be purchased for open space. The other two representatives are appointed by the governor: Lacey Committeeman Gary Quinn, a builder, and Bay Head Councilwoman D’Arcy Rohan Green, who is on the board of directors of Save Barnegat Bay. Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari said that the freeholders do not get involved in Pinelands Commission issues. Any attempt by them to try to influence the members could be seen as illegal tampering. Instead, he said that the two residents’ comments will be forwarded to the members so they can read them. However, Vicari said that personally, he is in favor of this pipeline because of a few reasons. One of which is that leaders at the Joint Base Dix-McGuire-Lakehurst have said the pipeline is vital to them. Another is that in times of emergencies, natural gas is usually one of the utilities that is still functioning.

Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea of R.C. Shea and Associates
In New Jersey, if you sustain an injury arising out of or in the course of your employment, you are entitled to certain benefits under the law. This is more specifically set forth in the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act. Primarily, should your injury require medical attention, the Workers’ Compensation carrier for your employer is to provide this to you. The insurance carrier pays for reasonable and necessary medical care until you reach a medical plateau. In turn, however, the insurance carrier does have the right to direct your medical care. In other words, the insurance carrier has the opportunity to choose the physicians with whom you treat, as well as the facilities where any treatment or therapy is administered. In the event that your injury is such that you are medically unable to work for more than seven days, the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act provides that the insurance company is to pay temporary disability benefits. This entitles you to 70 percent of your wages, up to the statutory maximum for the year in which you sustained the injury. These payments continue until the authorized physician permits you to return to work or until you reach a medical plateau, whichever is sooner. Should permanent effects of your injury remain after achieving a medical plateau, you may be entitled to benefits to compensate for those permanent effects. This is based on a statutory value determined according to the part of your body which was injured and the permanent residuals of your treatment and injury. This process progresses after your physician has returned you to gainful employment. In the event that you are deemed medically unable to return to work, you may be entitled to total disability benefits.
The questions often arises, “What happens if I am injured during Christopher R. Shea Esq. the course of my duties as a volunteer for a municipality?” It has been determined that volunteer firefighters, first aid or rescue squad workers, ambulance drivers, forest fire wardens or firefighters, board of education members and auxiliary or special reserve police officers are provided for within the Workers’ Compensation Act in New Jersey. Although, as a volunteer as listed above one would not have been compensated for the acts performed within the scope of that position, if injured while performing those duties, and medically unable to work, you would be entitled to compensation at the maximum rate for the year of that injury. Furthermore, the injured volunteer is entitled to reasonable and necessary medical treatment as if an employee. In the event that the volunteer suffers permanent residuals from the injury in question, the volunteer would also have the right to seek payment for those residuals, the same as if a paid employee.

First Annual Putting For Pooches
CREAM RIDGE – Pitties & Pals Rescue, Inc. will hold its first annual Putting For Pooches golf classic to raise money for its rescue efforts on October 6 at Gambler’s Ridge Golf Club in Cream Ridge. Pitties & Pals Rescue, Inc. is a New Jersey based 501c3, whose mission is to rescue dogs that are in danger of being euthanized from local animal shelters and to educate the public. Although their main focus is the bully breed, they are committed to all dogs in need. They do not have a facility so their dogs are either in foster homes or boarding which requires much needed funds. Registration and check-in will begin at 11:30 a.m. The driving range will be open prior to the start of the shotgun tournament at 1 p.m. The entry fee for each golfer for the October 6 event is $125, which includes both lunch and dinner. Hole Sponsorships are available for $100 each, as well as lunch dinner and beverage sponsorships. Individuals who do not wish to golf may make a $35 donation and attend a buffet dinner at 6 p.m. There will also be a 50/50 raffle, prizes and other raffles. At this time, Pitties and Pals is also seeking qualified fosters and adopters for dogs of all breeds. All costs associated with the care of the dog are paid for by Pitties & Pals during the fostering process, including, food, vet care, etc. We are also in need of volunteers to help us achieve our goals. As a volunteer, there are many things you can do and there is something for everyone! Also, if you are willing to make a donation, Pitties and Pals relies strictly on donations from the public. They are instrumental in helping our rescue grow and all amounts are welcome. We encourage you to help save a life by fostering or adopting a dog in need. For more information and for online registration for the golf outing and sponsorships, or to learn more about Pitties & Pals Rescue, Inc., please visit pittiesandpals.com. For questions regarding the golf outing, please contact Bonnie Barrington at 732-814-9889. If you are interested in fostering or adopting, please email us at PittiesAndPalsRescue@yahoo.com. You can also check out our website at PittiesandPals.com or Facebook @PittiesandPalsRescue where you can view the dogs available for foster/adoption and our upcoming fundraising events.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of July 15 - July 21 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Don’t throw caution to the wind. You may be less careful than usual as you could be in a hurry or simply too focused on what you’re doing to pay attention to what’s going on around you. Stay on your guard no matter the circumstances. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Go along to get along. Someone’s assertiveness may rub you the wrong way but you’ll get farther by looking for compromise rather than trying to butt heads. The lights will be all green for romantic pursuits this evening. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let the cat out of the bag. Show your maturity by not revealing privileged information that you have been trusted with. Sharing someone else’s secrets will give you little to gain and a whole lot to lose. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There’s always room for improvement. You’ve done well so far but there’s no reason why you can’t do better in the future. Seek out innovative new methods and routines which could improve your productivity, health or attitude. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): When it’s your turn to bat, swing for the fences. You’ll only gain from an opportunity in the spotlight and showing definitive results, so don’t hold back. Your prospects for romance could be higher than usual throughout the day. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Live and let live. Making mistakes are part of life. Allow others to learn from their experiences and don’t be so quick to jump into the affairs of friends or loved ones. If solving a problem seems impossible, try again later.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): There doesn’t have to be winners and losers. Resolving an argument by finding common ground upon which to build could be more beneficial than simply trying to get in the last word. Avoid trying to push someone’s buttons. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Test the waters before you dive in. Get a feel for the general mood before making jokes or offhand comments or others may take it personally. Focus on projects that tap into your creative side to get the most out of it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Don’t make assumptions. While you may feel someone knows exactly what you are thinking, they may actually be on a completely different wavelength. Go out of your way to do something to please your significant other. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): Don’t fret over what you don’t have. The green-eyed monster could rear its ugly head when a friend shows off a shiny new toy. This should really have little impact on your life. Constructive projects keep your mind busy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Refocus your priorities. Too much information and mental clutter may divert you from the correct path but employing some self-discipline and some planning could quickly have you back on the right track. PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): There’s always a chance. The odds of winning or losing could be equal, just make sure that you can afford the cost if you lose. Put creativity and originality on display and before too long others will admire and respect you for it.

A Pesky Neighbor In The Garden
Dear Joel, I love gardening and take great pride in my yard. It’s a peaceful time and I look forward to working in the yard, but I have a neighbor who thinks she is a judge in the county fair. She has plenty of gardening tips and is always telling me what I should do and what I’m doing wrong. One time she even came over and pulled my weeds when I was out. Please help me from digging a hole and pushing her in it? Weeded Out in Toms River
garden. They describe it as a spiritual experience, being around nature and watching living things grow leaf by leaf and inch by inch. It’s their time away from the stresses and interruptions of the day. I would tell your neighbor that you appreciate her advice, but that you really want to figure things out on your own. Tell her you don’t care about having the biggest and the best garden; you just want to learn from every experience.
Dear Weeded, What a shame. I don’t have a green thumb, but I have several friends who are serious gardeners and they tell me how much they enjoy their time alone in the

Go Nuts! Cashew ‘Cream’ Sauce Is The Highlight Of This Vegan Dish By Wolfgang Puck Most people today understand what it means to be vegetarian, avoiding meats, poultry or seafood in their diets. In fact, the ever-rising popularity of farmers’ markets makes it possible for more and more food lovers to consider themselves at least part-time vegetarians, enjoying the pleasures and health benefits of meals without animal proteins at least several times a week. Widespread familiarity with vegetarianism has, in turn, led to more particular choices when it comes to the foods we eat. There are lacto-vegetarians, who include dairy products in plant-based diets; ovo-vegetarians, who eat eggs; and, of course, lacto-ovo-vegetarians. Pescatarians - fish-eaters won’t eat any other animals - deserve a mention, too. Then there’s the most observant vegetarian category of all: vegans, who avoid any animal products whatsoever. That means no butter, no cheese, no milk, no eggs - nothing at all derived from animals. And you find that more and more people interested in healthy eating today follow strictly vegan diets, with celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow, New England Patriots superstar quarterback Tom Brady, and Brady’s supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen all touting the health benefits of strictly plant-based nutrition. With veganism gaining an ever-higher profile, it’s only natural that my chefs and I get more and more frequent requests for vegan dishes. Now, you might think that we’d find it challenging to prepare delicious, even luxurious-tasting food following such restrictions. But, in fact, more and more products are widely available that make vegan cooking not only possible but actually a pleasure. You can find vegan “cheeses” and even vegan cultured “butter” spreads made from nuts and oils, for example. And it’s also possible in your own kitchen to prepare “cream” sauces based on nuts, which turn wonderfully smooth and rich when pureed in a blender, leading many people who sample the results to doubt that a dish made in this way doesn’t include dairy. Don’t just take my word for it, either. Instead, try the following authentic-tasting Italian recipe, which was developed by my team at Wolfgang Puck Catering. It features fresh gnocchi, the traditional bite-sized potato-and-flour pasta dumplings, which you can find vacuum-packaged and ready to cook in the refrigerated section of many well-stocked supermarkets and in Italian delis. If you want to make sure you’re being strictly vegan, check the ingredients listed on the package and select a brand that doesn’t include eggs. You’ll also want to look for a store-bought, dairy-free Parmesan cheese. Roasted cashew nuts, pureed in a food processor, are the source of the rich-tasting, garlicky “cream” sauce. You and your family and friends may find it hard to believe this easy, delicious recipe is actually vegan. And you may realize you’re
one step closer to following a plant-based diet yourselves! VEGAN GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOMS, GARLIC AND CASHEW CREAM SAUCE Serves 4 For the gnocchi: 1 12- to-16-ounce (380-500g) package fresh gnocchi 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 quarts (3 L) cultivated mushrooms, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) slices 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 sprig fresh thyme For the cashew cream sauce: 1/2 cup (125 mL) raw cashews, roasted in a 350 F (175 C) oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes 1 1/4 cups (310 mL) water 1/2 cup (125 mL) good-quality canned vegetable stock or broth To assemble: Nonstick cooking spray 3 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 cup (60 mL) store-bought grated vegan Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon salt Chopped fresh chives, for serving Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi following manufacturer’s instructions. Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic and thyme, and saute, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms begin to turn golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the thyme sprig and set the mushrooms aside. Put the cashews and water in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Process until the nuts form a smooth paste, stopping as necessary to scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add half of the sauteed mushrooms and process again until smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed. Transfer the puree to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook until thick and creamy, about 1 minute, adding a little of the vegetable stock if necessary to thin it to coating consistency. To prepare the gnocchi for serving, heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the cashew cream sauce, gnocchi, remaining sauteed mushrooms, grated Parmesan, pepper and salt; cook until thoroughly heated through. Spoon the gnocchi, mushrooms and sauce into individual heated serving bowls or plates. Garnish with chives and more Parmesan and serve immediately.
