By Chris Lundy LACEY – One thing that sets Bayfront Park apart from other parks – it’s got a one-ofa-kind view.

Most parks are surrounded by woods, or in the middle of

a housing project. This park is tucked away off Beach Boulevard. The entrance pops up out of nowhere between houses in a lagoon neighborhood. It juts off on a little nub of land overlooking Barnegat Bay and the

mouth of the Forked River. The Barnegat Lighthouse is visible across the water.

And because it was on a picturesque location surrounded by water, it got totally decimated by (Park - See Page 4)

Russo Remembered As A Senator For The People

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – John Russo, Sr. was remembered as a politician for the people, and an “icon” of the kind of bipartisan politics that is rare to find anymore.

Russo succumbed to cancer at the age of 84. He had been elected to the state senate in 1973, and was Senate President from 1986 to

1990. He served as acting governor, and ran for that office as well.

Additionally he had a career as an attorney and as assistant prosecutor in Ocean County.

Bandits Steal Title

By Chris Lundy BARNEGAT – The Barnegat Bandits 14U softball bested the Holmdel Hornets in the AllShore Summer League, bringing home the win.

The game capped a season of amazing play, team staff reported. “The Bandits have scored 77 times and only allowed 15 runs to score on them this summer season,” the club president John Fratianni said.

Park:

Continued From Page 1 Superstorm Sandy.

Casey Parker, the director of public works, had said that the area had been so damaged that the gazebo had been carried a quarter of a mile into a neighbor’s backyard. Some of the rocks that formed a barrier from the water had been uprooted and carried off.

Today, it looks a lot different. The gazebo stands in the middle, overlooking a picnic area. Two playgrounds are there, based on

different age groups. The playground areas are nautical themed, with a pirate ship adorned with a lion, the school’s mascot.

There is an infant swing, in which a parent and child can swing together, facing each other.

The park was designed to capitalize on the view. There are walkways to the shoreline, with binoculars for people to look out.

There is also opportunity for people in wheelchairs to look out. Exercise equipment lines the shore, giving people a nice view while they work out.

From left: Public works director Casey Parker, councilmen Timothy McDonald and Steven Kennis, Mayor Peter Curatolo, councilmen Nicholas Juliano and Gary Quinn, and business administrator Veronica Laureigh.

Gabion cages – metal fencing linking together all the rocks – are wrapped around the outside to keep the rocks in place and withstand erosion. Parker said these are designed to protect the park in the future.

The total cost was $1.4 million, business administrator Veronica Laureigh said.

Senator:

Continued From Page 1 on the ballot together in 1983. She ran for Assembly that year, besting Warren Wolf.

“His loss is a public loss, but also a profound personal loss to those of us who knew him,” she said.

“Although our political relationship ended a long time ago when we stopped getting elected,” their personal relationship continued, she said. They were just on the beach together a few weeks ago.

“Even in his very weakened state, his daughter made sure he got his beach time in,” she said.

She said Russo was the personification of the American Dream. Here was a poor kid from Asbury Park, selling clothing out of the back of his car to make money, but he wanted to go to Notre Dame. An alumnus arranged to get him an interview to try to get into the prestigious school. “He was too proud to admit he couldn’t afford the trip,” so he hitchhiked to the interview. From then, he went on to Columbia Law School.

“From very humble beginnings, he overcame that and became a very critical figure in New Jersey government,” she said.

Former Ocean County Freeholder and mayor of Toms River, Paul Brush, said his influence is still being felt today.

“He was an icon in Ocean County politics and also in the state,” he said. Russo worked bipartisanly, under a Republican governor, Tom Kean Sr., and Brush stated that the two worked well together.

“They just did what they thought was right,” he said.

Russo On The Death Penalty One of Russo’s more public fights was over the death penalty.

In 1982, Russo helped reinstate the death penalty. In 2007, it was being argued before the Senate budget panel on whether to keep it or do away with it.

“If you’re going to have a society that follows law and order, people have to feel that the punishment fits the crime,’’ he told the Ocean County Observer in 2007. At the time, New Jersey had eight men on death row and hadn’t executed anyone since 1963.

“I don’t look for an execution. I get no satisfaction to see someone’s execution. I just want the penalty to be available,’’ he said, for the “most unusual and grievous’’ cases.

Although his father was murdered in Asbury Park by a robber on New Year’s Day in 1970, he had said this did not influence his feelings.

The robber would not have fit the criteria for the penalty, he said. The robber didn’t go there intending to murder.

Ultimately, there was much more opposition to the death penalty, and the punishment was changed to life without parole. People arguing against the death penalty stated that since New Jersey hadn’t actually executed anyone recently, it was essentially life without parole anyway. Additionally, there provided some small measure of closure for the family of the victims, in that they did not have to be dragged into the ongoing appeal process as the accused convict perennially tried to fight their pending execution.

Russo’s Legacy Although much has been written about Russo’s fight for the death penalty, his legacy

was larger than that, Brush said. He started a movement that made all Senate bills be posted.

That way, the public would know what lawmakers were deciding.

“That was his mantra: the people should be heard,” he said.

That has since fallen by the wayside.

Another trait that seems to belong to a bygone era was his disdain for dirty campaigning. He used to scream at any local politicians who went negative in their campaigning, he said.

Another piece of his legacy belongs to the caps law, which limited a municipality’s spending, a precursor to the one that governs towns now.

“It was innovative. It set the tone to put the reins on political spending,” Brush said.

Russo, the late Daniel Newman (former Assemblyman and mayor of Brick), and John Paul Doyle (former Assemblyman) opened up a joint legislative committee, with former Pine Beach mayor Russell Corby heading the staff. Their job was to hear from constituents and fix problems.

“It became a model for across the state,” Brush said. “It’s become an accepted practice.”

A lot of ink has also been used to describe his ban on assault weapons. The governor wanted it done, and he rose to the challenge.

“It was not very popular but he thought it was the right thing to do and New Jersey has had a ban on assault weapons for the last 25 years or so,” he said.

“He was an icon and I don’t think we’ll see someone like him again,” Brush said. “We sure miss him.”

About twenty years ago, Russo, as an attorney, represented Berkeley Township to fight a

program that would allow sending districts to sever ties with a regional school district. The issue involved towns leaving Central Regional.

Dale Florio, who heads up the Princeton Public Affairs Group, which Russo worked for as an attorney since 1992, wrote on the company’s web site that Russo was a friend and mentor to his colleagues.

“We hesitate to call John a ‘throwback’ when partisanship stayed in the statehouse and you could ‘break bread’ together after the day’s work. To us, John was and will always be an example of how those of us who engage in the science of politics should practice our craft,” he wrote.

Senator and former Governor Richard J. Codey said he valued Russo’s friendship.

“John used his political skills, his breadth of knowledge and his strength of character to address the issues that defined an era and that continue to shape the quality of life in New Jersey,” Codey said in a press release.

“He put progress ahead of politics, teamwork ahead of partisanship and shared success ahead of personal achievement. John’s primary goal was always to get things done. As a result, he was both well liked and highly respected.”

Tom Kean Jr., son of the former governor and head of the Senate Republicans, offered his condolences.

“On behalf of the Senate Republicans, I would like to offer our condolences to Bob, Caryl, and their entire family on the passing of Senate President Russo,” he said. “He was a dedicated public servant, a loving father, and a leader committed to improving New Jersey for all its residents.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Where’s The Free Tolls In NJ? According to TV ads, toll roads in New York are going cashless: E-Z Pa ss on ly. Nex t it is New Jersey.

I am one of those holdouts that refuse to pay ransom in N.J. (one dollar a month just to get the monitor.) I still pay cash only.

Where are the union reps complaining about the loss of revenue of laid-off union members (toll collectors)? Since the state will be saving money f rom salar ies,

pension and fringe benefits, does anyone dare to say now “Reduce the tolls and give us drivers a break?” The sound of silence is deafening!

Remember, years ago, we were told that the Parkway would be toll free after constr uct ion cost s we re covered. That was 65 years ago and the tolls were raised ever since. Just another Garden State fairy tale!

Teachers And Respect In some areas, the new school year has already begun. In my area, school will commence shortly.

I retired June 30, 2016. I had the pleasure of working with numerous teachers as a media assistant and paraprofessional for 21 years. In 1996, when I began working in the educational field, teaching was regarded as a respectable profession. I was proud to say I worked in the middle school where I was employed as I witnessed, firsthand, teachers around me doing what they love with immense passion.

As a media assistant in our school’s computer lab, I was fortunate to assist almost every teacher and their students in all subject areas. I was impressed by the many lessons teachers would come prepared with for their students.

Throughout the late 90s and early 2000s, students appreciated having a computer lab where they were able to broaden the scope of their assignments. Along with that appreciation, students exhibited respect for their teachers, computer equipment, their peers, and themselves. In 2010, due to cutbacks, my media assistant position was dissolved, and I became a paraprofessional working with teachers and their students in a classroom setting.

It was there I observed, even more closely, the daily routines of numerous teach-

Letters To ers. Wow! The definition of itThe Also ignored by the writer, became so Editor unbalanced; I this 3-letter word does not even come close to its meaning of “expressing astonishment or admiration” for the teachers I worked with.

If you have not had the opportunity to do what I have done, you cannot possibly fathom what a teacher’s day is truly like. Even if I were to put into words all that I have experienced, you still would be unable to realize what it entails.

For those of you who have the mindset that a teacher’s day only exists within the time period between the first and last bells, you are vastly mistaken. The preparation for a day’s classes, not to mention a year’s syllabus, begins much sooner than that first bell, and continues far longer than the last.

Along with striving to be an innovative educator, teachers must also contend with incessant parent emails, phone calls, and meetings.

There is much more, but I won’t bore you, as the real purpose of my letter is to express how the prestige of teaching has diminished drastically. That fact is disheartening!

I attribute it to the total lack of respect for teachers.

People not in the education field would be surprised if they could see what really goes on today in the life of too many teachers. It is unacceptable when teachers must regularly grapple with blatant disrespect, foul language, and, at times, volatile behavior, rather than focus on educating their students.

I cannot say exactly when

can only confirm that with each passing year, it gets continually worse.

When I attended school as a child, and even when my own children were in school, there was collective admiration for teachers. Without that, educating students is impeded, and obstructing education benefits nobody (students, teachers, parents).

Therefore, I urge all to please bring back much-needed recognition for teachers. I especially request parents to teach your children to respect their teachers (and all adults, in general). Your children spend a large portion of their day with their teachers.

It would be advantageous for everyone if respect was incorporated into the teaching profession once again.

It would result in a win-win situation for everybody!

I also want to take this opportunity to respectfully thank all of my teachers, my children’s teachers, and all the amazing teachers and paraeducators I worked with.

Always remember, you truly have made, and you continue to make, a difference in the most positive ways!

Safe Immigrants Should Be Welcomed The August 5th letter blaming immigrants for stealing American jobs is shameful as it ignores our proud historic tradition of welcoming the stranger.

Forgotten were the words of Emma Lazarus on the Statue of Liberty that greets newcomers with hope and assurance they will no longer be outcasts and downtrodden: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Mr. Van Arsdale, is that except for Native American Indians we are all descendants of immigrants who fled from poverty and persecution only to be confronted by the same resentment expressed in his letter as well as torment because of race, religion or ethnic background. They were crowded into walkup tenements without bathrooms, 12-hour work days in dangerous sweat shops, forced to have their children engage in child labor and worked for pennies without any safety, security or health care. Yet, these determined people raised generations that became industrialists, businessmen, merchants, religious leaders, professionals, political leaders and service men and women many of whom died so that we can live in freedom and proudly sing, “God Bless America.”

His charge that our new immigrants, who I acknowledge must in these dangerous times be extremely vetted, steal jobs and accept lower wages ignores the reality these jobs were available to Americans but immigrants had to be recruited because many Americans did not see fit to work in the undesirable conditions found in those occupations. Immigrants, however, have no choice but to take them if hired as did their forefathers. Unknown to many is that our government as well as other democracies have programs that actually recruit foreign workers for high level jobs because of their training and intellect. While injustices do occur (a perfect example is the discrepancy between wages for men and women who are not immigrants but born in America) overall we have become better and stronger because of the skills, willingness to work hard, determination to make better lives for themselves and their families and desire to serve their new country in our many wars in the pursuit of freedom for Mr. Van Arsdale and all Americans.

Bandits:

Continued From Page 1 Both teams kept the other from scoring throughout the first inning, but Barnegat had a one-run lead at the end of the second. The fourth inning was key. Barnegat had runners on bases, and kept pushing to get them home, even against a double play by the Hornets.

Ultimately, the girls’ teamwork brought two runners home, giving them a 3-1 lead.

The Hornets managed to get another run

off Barnegat errors to bring it up to 3-2 in the fifth inning. However, the Bandits’ defense kept them from getting any more.

The pitcher kept Holmdel’s batters in place in the sixth inning. In the seventh, Holmdel managed to get runners on base, but their batter shot the ball out to the pitcher, who threw the runner out at first to end the inning and the game.

“Great timely hitting combined with small ball and great pitching gets the win,” Fratianni said.

Annual Social Raises Nearly $200K For Southern Ocean Medical Center Programs

By Sara Grillo MANAHAWKIN – Nearly $200,000 was raised at the Hackensack Meridian Health Southern Ocean Medical Center Foundation’s 3rd Annual Signature Social on July 28. The money will be used to support various programs and services at Southern Ocean Medical Center.

The cocktail reception was held at Bonnet Island Estate on Long Beach Island, where over 200 guests showed up to learn about the hospital’s recent achievements. Attendees also enjoyed live music, gourmet food and dancing.

“Over the past few years, we have seen remarkable growth at Southern Ocean Medical Center,” explained Thomas Yu, M.D., diagnostic radiology specialist and reception co-chair. “Philanthropy contributes greatly to the hospital’s advancements, so we are grateful for everyone who came out to this event and expressed interest in becoming further involved.”

Guests at the social learned about recent developments at Southern Ocean Medical Center. Those developments include a brand new Emergency Department and Cancer Care Center, renovations to the main lobby and outpatient care areas, and a partnership between Hackensack Meridian Health and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which will allow patients to benefit from world-class cancer

care procedures.

Emergency Department nurse at Bayshore Medical Center Linda Poling served as a guest speaker at the social, sharing a heartwarming story about the life-saving care that her mother, Dolores Lydakis, received from Dr. Yu and other medical staff at Southern Ocean Medical Center.

“We are fortunate that a very engaged and energized group attended this year’s Signature Social,” said Robert H. Adams, Jr., FACHE, President of Southern Ocean Medical Center.

“Seeing the community come together for such a wonderful cause is truly inspirational and shows promise that we will only continue to excel in years to come.”

The social reception was co-chaired by Joseph Lattanzi, M.D., Kimberly Hogan, M.D., Dr. Thomas Yu and Jane Yu, and supported by Celebration Sponsor, Southern Ocean Medical Center Medical Staff and Reception Sponsors, Coastal Radiology, Dr. Lattanzi, Dr. Hogan and Phoenix Medical Construction.

PROTECTING YOUNG ATHLETES’ EYES

According to a study involving 900 hospital emergency rooms, 30,000 patients are treated for eye injuries annually. Among those with sports-related injuries, 60% of the males and 67% of the females were aged 18 years or younger. With this in mind, parents should encourage their children to wear safety glasses, sports eye protectors, and goggles designed to protect the eyes from flying objects and errant elbows. Constructed of the same plastic (polycarbonate) used to make windshields in jet planes, sports eyewear is virtually shatterproof. When purchasing protective eyewear, look for “ASTM F803-88” and “ANSI Z87.1” on the label, which ensures the equipment meets tough safety standards established by the American Society for Testing Materials and the American National Standards Institute.

Initially, there was some resistance by children to wearing protective eyewear. Today, sports goggles are an accepted part of daily life, much the way bike helmets have become the norm.

To learn more about athletic eyewear, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., at 732-349-5622. We are dedicated to providing you with the best in patient care, focusing on Lasik, cataract surgery, glaucoma treatment, dry eye syndrome, macular degeneration, pediatric ophthalmology, and total eye care.

What Does Hearing Loss Look Like Across The Age Spectrum?

More than 36 million American adults report that they have hearing loss. Although many people assume hearing loss only affects those around retirement age, about two-thirds of all cases of hearing loss occur in people under the age of 65. So how can hearing aids benefit the entire age spectrum, children, teens, the American workforce, and retirees? Let’s take a look at some rather revealing data regarding hearing loss and hearing aids.

In children and teens: At least 1.8 million U.S. children have trouble hearing.

Nearly 1.5 million are school age.

Nine of every 10 children born deaf are born to parents who can hear normally.

In-utero ear infections can lead to deafness.

Three continuous months of ear infections can lead to deafness.

Children exposed to secondhand smoke have twice the risk of hearing loss.

One in five teens now suffers from at least a mild hearing loss due to excessive volume when using iPods and other listening devices.

In the American workforce: About 26 million Americans between the prime employment ages of 20 and 69 have high-frequency hearing loss.

One in four workers exposed to high levels of noise experience hearing loss later in life.

Those with untreated hearing loss lose about $30,000 a year due to underemployment.

Police, firefighters, factory workers, farmers, construction workers, musicians, heavy-industry workers, the military and professional hunters are at the highest risk of experiencing hearing loss.

In retirees: About 30 percent of adults ages 65 to 74 have hearing loss.

About 47 percent of adults over the age of 75 have hearing loss.

Hearing loss in retirees leads to more hospitalization and poorer health overall.

Dementia, depression and brain shrinkage are all strongly correlated to untreated hearing loss, which is likely partially responsible for those diseases occurring.

Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are also associated with untreated hearing loss.

Fortunately, hearing aids are a huge benefit to 90 percent of those with hearing loss, regardless of age group or severity. For those with mild hearing loss, hearing aids greatly reduce or eliminate the risk of income loss, and people with hearing aids are nearly twice as likely to be employed as those with untreated hearing loss or those who simply don’t wear their hearing aids. If you want to make sure you’re getting all you can out of your current set, bring them in and we’ll take a look at how the technology is working for you. And if you decide there’s an upgrade option that you’d like to pursue, we’ll give you $500 toward any new set of AGX Hearing aids.

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. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Your Skin Reveals Your True State Of Health

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Your skin reveals a secret about your health. It will expose you, even if you say you’re feeling “okay” to everyone.

I’m not referring to a tan, I’m referring to skin tone, texture and color.

If you are pale, you may be anemic and deficient in iron. It shows up on your skin even if you mask the accompanying fatigue with NoDoz or coffee. Pale skin that is also dry may be a clue to your hypothyroidism, which also causes fatigue and hair loss.

Healthy folks have a good supply of blood flow and oxygen throughout their body, so skin appears rosy and pink, as opposed to people with heart disease, high cholesterol or circulatory disorder.

People with cancer sometimes have grey or blue-tinged skin or lips due to the lack of oxygenated blood.

Asthma requires the use of steroids (i.e. prednisone) which can cause easy bruising; this problem also occurs from aspirin, ginkgo, fish oil and prescription anticoagulants to prevent a stroke or heart attack.

If you are alcohol or nicotine-dependent, you will look older than you should, and have saggy skin because these lifestyle factors attack your collagen and elastin.

Drinking and smoking age you inside and out.

Sun worshippers and smokers often have age spots and an uneven skin tone, which is from the ultraviolet light. But

this oxidation isn’t happening on your skin surface, it’s also happening to every single organ of your body, including your brain, heart, blood vessels and reproductive organs.

People who suddenly take on a yellow tone may have liver compromise from a drug they’re taking, or from alcohol use.

If severe, it’s called jaundice and requires medical attention.

Perhaps you think beauty is only skin deep, but as I’ve shown you, it clearly isn’t. It is a reflection of your body’s general physical health. Radiant youthful-looking skin, hair and nails are actually an inside job.

Reducing your exposure to free radicals can help you obtain gorgeous skin, but of course you need to make sure that you eat right and drink enough water to nourish your body. You’ll also want to minimize the amount of synthetic chemicals (including prescriptions) that you take.

There are only a handful of supplements that I recommend to help with cell protection, collagen formation and general good health. Among the best we have biotin, collagen (but only high quality), silica, hyaluronic acid and/or lipoic acid. What you’re going for is a healthy glow to your skin, which – at the end of day – translates to a healthy body. I have a more comprehensive version of this article available at my website.

Public Hearing On Pinelands-Based Gas Pipeline

By Sara Grillo TOMS RIVER – The bleachers of Pine Belt Arena were filled recently with protesters and supporters of the Southern Reliability Link (SRL), a proposed 30-mile natural gas pipeline that would run through 12.1 miles of the Pinelands.

New Jersey Natural Gas is proposing the pipeline in order to ensure quality of service for roughly 1 million customers. But the scheduled public hearing brought up many concerns – such as potential spills that could endanger water supply and wipe out native plants and animals.

Representatives approached the microphone from various organizations spanning the state, including the New Jersey Sierra Club, Pinelands Preservation Alliance, Clean Water Action New Jersey, Green Party of New Jersey and ReThink Energy NJ. There were concerned residents, too, including Jacqueline Cardini and Dom Stockton-Rossini.

Officials from the Pinelands Commission filled the dais. The Commission has previously said the pipeline is consistent with the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan – a set of regulations and standards that safeguard the area’s unique natural resources – although several speakers at the hearing questioned that throughout the morning.

A common theme brought up by speakers at the hearing was how the public portion of the application was being handled, which some referred to as a “made up process” and “a sham.” Speakers were limited to only three minutes of public comment before a buzzer sounded, signaling their time was up. Commenters who spoke over their allotted time were booed by audience members wearing SRL pins. Some of them also yelled, “time’s up!”

Another frequent thread was that the pipeline would serve no real military purpose, despite officials from the Pinelands Commission citing

that Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst would be a primary beneficiary.

Jeff Tittel from the New Jersey Sierra Club kicked things off around 10 a.m. as the day’s first speaker, reminding the dais, “You’re the Pinelands Commission – not the Pipeline Commission.”

He cited concern for the 17 trillion gallons of drinking water at stake, as well as plant species found nowhere else around the world. Tittel said that there are plenty of other ways to get gas down the shore, and that the proposed pipeline is really about bringing more development to the shore area. The “excuse” about the Joint Base, he said, is “made up,” and just a way to rationalize building the pipeline. “The damage that you do will last for a very long time,” he said, adding that if it gets built, “We sued you once, we’ll have to go back to court again.”

Carleton Montgomery represented the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, a private, nonprofit group devoted to preserving the Pinelands, sharing, “It won’t even help the base, it’s so badly designed for the scenario for which it’s supposed to be justified.”

Janet Tauro, Board Chair of Clean Water Action New Jersey, spoke out strongly against the three-minute time restriction. “You hinder public participation when you limit this to three minutes.

It really is a sham. It prevents us from bringing in our experts and giving expert testimony.” She added that if officials really cared about the public’s concerns, they would have scheduled the hearing after hours when people could come after work.

Tauro said Clean Water Action is opposed to the SRL pipeline.

“The Joint Base would not even be able to tap into it without major infrastructure work that New Jersey Natural Gas has no intention of doing,” she added.

She said the Pinelands are home to many threatened and endangered species, and that the pipeline poses a high risk to aquifers. She also directly questioned Commission Executive Director Nancy Wittenberg – “You say it is under your standards, and your standards are to preserve, protect and enhance the Pinelands and the Comprehensive Management Plan,” she asked.

“A key element of the Comprehensive Management Plan, which also highlights the cornerstone of Clean Water Action, is water protection. The proposed pipeline would run through two superfund sites that require specific remediation by the EPA. And I can assure you that remediation does not include blasting and laying a 30-inch high pressure gas pipeline that can spread contaminants and threaten water supplies.”

Tauro said the SRL is also not being welcomed by the communities it is affecting.

“Neither has this pipeline being welcomed with open arms by host communities. It has formally been opposed through resolutions by seven townships, one city and a county.”

Those townships, she said, include Plumsted and Upper Freehold.

Heather Warburton from the Green Party of New Jersey told the dais she had a show for them to watch called “Views from the Pipeline.” She explained that it’s 15 to 20 images showcasing the beauty of the route that the proposed pipeline would take, “so you can see what’s really being put at stake here,” she said.

In a stretch of creativity, Warburton used the last minute and a half of her allotted three minutes to let the dais reflect on a simple question – “Why are you here, and what do you want to do?”

During the moment of silence, protesters of the pipeline pushed their signs farther into the air and Warburton stared directly at officials on the dais,

THE SOUTHERN OCEAN TIMES

who seemed unfazed.

Dom Stockton-Rossini is from Pemberton, but was also representing his parents, residents of Long Beach Island. He quoted the figure of $9.2 million dollars, the estimated net profit New Jersey Natural Gas would make from the pipeline, according to a 2016 report on the Southern Reliability Link. “$9.2 million dollars in corporate profits and the unnecessary risk on our properties, our environment and the future of our state,” he said. “It’s not a question of if there will be spills, it is when.

Spills will happen and our environment will be threatened.”

A former New Jersey Natural Gas employee surprisingly spoke, sharing “8 fatal flaws” of the SRL application, which all centered around the pipeline serving no genuine military purpose.

“The pipeline will not directly deliver any dedicated gas to the base itself,” he said.

Toms River resident Jacqueline Cardini said she was representing babies, which took the audience some time to register, until she began to tell her story. Her sister Jessica contracted leukemia during the Toms River cancer cluster; her mother one of the major organizers of Ocean of Love, a nonprofit that helps Ocean County children with cancer. Although her sister survived, she described the horrific experience of witnessing many children in the same situation who did not.

“For those of you who want to tell me this is clean energy simply on the basis that it’s cleaner than coal, I tempt you to sit in your car while it’s running with the garage door closed,” she said.

Public comment was closed on August 2. It is now up to the Pinelands Commission to review the comments received and make a decision to approve or deny the application from New Jersey Natural Gas.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Inside The Law

Why Do Some People Overshare?

Dear Joel, I have a client who wanted to show me a photo on her iPhone. She couldn’t find it, but she treated me to about 1,000 other pictures while she searched. With each one I heard, “that’s my friend from bridge,” or “that was taken at a party,” or “here’s my neighbor wearing her new blouse” and so on. Do people really think it’s interesting to look at pictures of complete strangers?

Why can’t they just say “sorry, I can’t find what I was looking for.” How can I escape this situation when it happens?

TMI in Tuckerton

Dear TMI, That one took me back to many long nights I spent at friends’ homes as they clicked their way through tray after tray of vacation slides. A few times I even dozed off, so I know how hard it is to stay focused, especially when you don’t

k now any of the people or places. Nowadays I also think it is funny how many pictures people post on social media, many of which are repetitive or even compromising. It’s tough, but try to remember that the things she’s sharing are important to her, and that by sharing them with you, she is saying you’re important too. She is inviting you into her world. You might suggest she create photo albums, so that she can easily reference the shots she wants to share. You might thank her for trying so hard and offer her a coffee or a treat so that you can step away from the picture show.

Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Central Regional Alumni Association Awards Three Scholarships

BAYVILLE – Central Regional Alumni Association’s 10th Annual Golf Outing was held on May 25 at Cedar Creek Golf Course. Even though Mother Nature did not cooperate, over 120 golfers came out to support the annual scholarship fundraiser. The luncheon was held at Yesterday’s Restaurant in Bayville directly after the morning registration and breakfast. The event garnered much local sponsorship. Please take the time to view the entire list of sponsors on the new website: crhsaa.org.

The Central Regional Alumni Association raises funds throughout the year, which allows the organization to help JROTC, Central Eagles Special Olympic Team, Eagles Sailing Program, John Lyons 5K Run, Central Regional TV Production, Central Regional Drama and Band, as well as fulfill many other teachers’ requests.

The Central Regional Alumni Association is honored to announce this year’s scholarship award winners: Sara Kendall – $2,500; Hannah Donner – $1,500; and Maksymilian Gruszecki – $1,000.

These students are the latest in a long line of awardees beginning in 2004, which represent the very best Central Regional has to offer.

The Central Regional Alumni Association has awarded over $33,000 in scholarships to date. The Association wishes their most recent alumnus the very best of luck in their futures.

The big cash 50/50 winner was also drawn at the golf outing. Congratulations to Mrs. Rosemarie Keslink who won $5,000. Big cash 50/50 tickets are $100 each, with only 100 tickets sold.

Do I Need An Expungement?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Dina M. Vicari, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

Some may look back over the years and regret certain events or situations that may have occurred involving law enforcement and the criminal legal system. If you wish that they could erase that event and begin anew with a clear criminal record, then you should look into the process of the Law of Expungement. This process is very helpful for people who are seeking to enter the military or beginning a new profession to seek to expunge a portion of their criminal history.

An expungement is a legal process with the Court to remove criminal records on file with any court or law enforcement agency regarding a person’s history or record within the criminal justice system. If an expungement is granted for an offense, arrest, or conviction, one’s criminal history will indicate that the event never occurred.

However, not everyone is eligible for an expungement and there are specific guidelines to follow according to N.J.S.A. 2C:52-1. In order to properly request an expungement, a person must file a Petition for Expungement with the Superior Court in the county where the underlying offense took place.

Final determination of whether a person is entitled to the granting of an expungement must be made by a Superior Court Judge.

There is specific information that you will have to provide in the Petition for Expungement, including the date of arrest, the offenses that you were charged with, the original warrant or summons, the date of final disposition and the specific sentence of punishment. Some of this information may need to be attained by contacting the Court or the New Jersey State Police.

The Court will also require an Order for Hearing and Expungement Order to be pre-

pared and forwarded to the Court. The Petition must be submitted with Dina M. Vicari Esq. a cover letter to describe to the Court the contents for the filing and the exact filing fee must be included to have the matter listed before a Judge for consideration.

Additionally, it is required that various governmental agencies are noticed of the Petition of Expungement and the date of hearing by certified mail, return receipt requested, including the Attorney General of New Jersey, New Jersey State Police, County Prosecutor, the Clerk of Municipal Court, Chief of Police, County Probation Department and the Division of Criminal Justice, Records and Identification Unit.

Only upon the filing of Proof of Notice to these agencies will the Court schedule the hearing before the Judge.

An appearance in Court may be required, especially if any agency files an objection to the Petition for Expungement. At the hearing, the Judge may ask additional questions to determine if the Petition should be granted. If an Expungement is granted, the Order must also be mailed via certified mail, return receipt requested, to the above governmental agencies to notify them of the conclusion of the matter.

Although the expungement process is controlled by statute, the process can be confusing and must be followed exactly or the Court can dismiss your request. If you believe that you may be eligible and would benefit from an expungement, please contact our office, R.C. Shea & Associates, at 732-505-1212, to schedule an appointment.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of august 19 - august 25

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be cautious that your warmth and enthusiasm does not inadvertently lead someone on. Take the easiest path where your money is concerned in the week ahead. Don’t append too much or spend too little.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be a great advisor and mentor in the week to come. You may receive extra social invitations. Your certain someone may be caught up in a wild goose chase that could prove costly, but your wisdom can prevent a loss.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Fly straight as an arrow. There is no financial opportunity or risk that is worth losing your good name. Refuse to sign documents that you haven’t read this week and anything you have read but don’t understand.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Like Humpty Dumpty even the mighty can fall. Follow ethical behavior in the week to come when financial matters are in question. If you try to please someone else you may be secretly influenced by their maneuverings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take the bit between your teeth. You may have plenty of determination and stamina to make your projects a success.

Passing disagreements may only spur you to more ambitious accomplishments in the week ahead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be discriminative. When faced with a choice between two evils in the week ahead make the most morally acceptable choice. Your loved ones or friends might not agree because they cannot see the fine line you walk.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t voice your suspicions in the week ahead, but adopt a wait and see attitude. Unconditional love delivered in daily doses can even melt a heart made of stone. Your gentle ways can move mountains, even in the workplace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Soul mates seem to be on the same wavelength. Business contacts, however, may be tuned to a different station.

As this week unfolds focus on family, hobbies and home based activities for the very best success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Listen to the boss who dictates your daily chores rather than following the dictates of your heart. A certain someone may think your friendship holds more promise for intimacy than you intend in the week ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Aesop’s turtle knew that slow and steady wins the race.

Caution and dedication to duty will pay off during the week ahead. If you are thrifty about the pennies, the dollars will begin to roll in.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Toe the mark. Those in authority may expect perfection as this week unfurls. You have plenty of enthusiasm and eagerness to get something accomplished, but might feel that your efforts are restrained by necessity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you can’t escape the truth sit back and enjoy it. Somewhere deep inside you might feel you do not deserve the rewards or opportunities you receive as this week unfolds. Be grateful that someone recognizes your worth.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Building Blocks: A ‘High-Rise’ Approach To A Summertime Favorite

By Wolfgang Puck

As I often like to say, we eat with our eyes fi rst. Food that looks beautiful without being too fussy starts your mouth watering in anticipation. And, by contrast, if good ingredients have been well prepared only to be presented in a way that looks unexciting, you may get less pleasure from the whole experience.

That explains why I’ve been taking a different approach to a summertime seasonal classic: the tomato, mozzarella and basil salad, also known in Italy as the Caprese, after the island of Capri, or the Tricolore, because its red, white and green colors mimic those of the Italian flag. Most often, the salad’s three main ingredients are simply arranged overlapping each other on a plate or platter, with a vinaigrette dressing drizzled over them. That’s certainly how you’ll probably see it on most antipasto displays in Italian restaurants or when you order an individual one off the menu.

Even though sun-ripened tomatoes are wonderfully flavorful in August, and go so well with the rich-tasting fresh mozzarella you can find so easily in well-stocked supermarkets today, such a presentation doesn’t do much anymore to get people excited about this wonderful seasonal specialty. And that’s a shame. So I’d like to share the simple solution my chefs and I like to use in our restaurants: We go vertical instead of horizontal.

In other words, we’ve taken to stacking the ingredients, alternating slices of tomato with equally sized slices of the cheese and individual basil leaves. The result instantly catches the eye, making people see this now familiar combination in a fresh new light.

Though that may sound like architectural or engineering skills are called for in creating such a presentation, it’s surprisingly easy. Just make sure when you’re shopping that you buy ripe yet firm tomatoes that are approximately the same diameter as the balls of fresh mozzarella you’ll be using.

(Head for the market’s cheese department first so you’ll have the package of mozzarella in your cart to serve as a guide.)

With a similar sensibility, I’ve simplified the dressing for the salad as well. Instead of making a vinaigrette, I first sprinkle each slice of tomato individually with a little salt and pepper, to make sure that every bite taken is properly seasoned. Then I drizzle each stack with good-quality balsamic vinegar that I’ve first reduced to a syrupy consistency to concentrate its sweet-tart flavor; I also add a drizzle of good, fruity-tasting extra-virgin olive oil.

The result is an appetizer that will make everyone at your table feel as if they’re seeing and tasting this combination for the first time. What a perfect way to showcase some of summer’s finest produce.

STAC K E D TOM ATO -A N D MOZ Z A R EL L A SA L A D W I T H FR ESH BASIL , BA LSA MIC REDUCTION AND EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL Serves 4 1 cup (250 mL) good-quality balsamic vinegar 4 medium-to-large sun-ripened organic tomatoes 8 ounces (250 g) fresh mozzarella 12 leaves fresh basil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Several hours before serving, prepare the balsamic reduction. Put the vinegar in a small nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer until its volume reduces by a third to a half. Set aside to cool to room temperature; transfer to a covered glass container and refrigerate until ready to use.

For the salad, use the tip of a small, sharp knife to core the tomatoes. Trim and discard a thin slice from the bottom of each tomato before cutting each one horizontally into slices about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Drain the mozzarella, patting it dry with paper towels, and cut crosswise into slices about 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick.

Stack the basil leaves and, starting at the side of the stack, roll them up tightly into a tube shape. Cut the roll crosswise into thin slices, separating them with your fingertips into julienne strips.

To assemble the salads on a platter or individual serving plates, alternate the slices from each tomato with slices of the mozzarella, stacking the tomato slices in the order you cut them starting with the trimmed slice from the bottom, and sprinkling each tomato slice with a little salt and pepper before placing the mozzarella on it.

End each stack with a tomato slice, sprinkling it with salt, pepper and basil julienne.

Just before serving, drizzle each stack with about 1 teaspoon of the balsamic reduction.

(Reserve the remainder in the refrigerator, where it will keep for several months.)

Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over each stack; serve immediately.
