By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Few people in the audience at the last Zoning Board meeting wanted a 7-Eleven to be built across from the Central Regional School District. Even the board members didn’t want it. But they said they were powerless to stop it.

The 7-Eleven will be built at the intersection of Forest Hills and Grand Central parkways.

What makes this application unusual is that it is a commercial building being put onto a residential lot with residential neighbors all around it.

7-Eleven:

Continued From Page 1 Residents spoke about traffic, fear of kids being struck by cars, and the crime that a convenience store would bring. But now was not the time for that. The board attorney, Alexander Pavliv, told the audience that the store was already approved in December. The meeting was just to hammer out the details.

Some people said they only heard about the 7-Eleven a week or two ago.

At the public portion of the meeting, residents were angry at the board for having approved this, and questioning if the board had been paid off. Board members responded to their concerns, saying that it’s a volunteer board and none of them are benefitting from this.

“I voted ‘no’ on it (in December),” said board member John MacMoyle, who lives one mile away from the development. If the board as a whole shot it down, then 7-Eleven would go over their heads. They would take it to the Superior Court, and eventually win. “We couldn’t stop this if we wanted to. The best we can do is make it fit into the neighborhood. If (a developer) doesn’t like what happens here, (they) go to court and get a decision (they) want.”

Board member Jerome Bollettieri echoed MacMoyle’s statements. If the board denied it, it could go up to the Superior Court and all the safety and security stipulations Berkeley wants would be thrown out.

Therefore, the board set a number of stipulations that 7-Eleven would have to agree to.

At various times, the applicant’s attorney, H. Alton Neff, would look back into the audience to get a nod of approval of something that 7-Eleven was OK with. There was also a break at one point, where the applicant’s professionals talked things over with 7-Eleven officials to make sure the store would accept the board’s regulations and that there wasn’t going to be a dealbreaker.

Some of the rules that the board imposed: Sound reducing fencing at a higher height than is normally allowed in the area.

A monument sign like the 7-Eleven in downtown Toms River, instead of a freestanding sign that would be on a highway.

As board engineer Jack Mallon said, the store doesn’t need a huge sign to advertise.

People are going to know it’s there. “It cuts down on the commercialization, although that’s hard to do with a 7-Eleven.”

Tractor trailer deliveries would only be between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. A window of 2-4 p.m. would also be off limits because that’s when Central students would be getting out of school.

A rubber mat under the trash so that it makes less noise when the garbage truck lowers the can back down.

Some of the lights would be shut off at night, but there would be enough for the safety of the property.

These were in addition to other changes 7-Eleven agreed to prior to the meeting.

There were several stipulations that 7-Eleven would not agree to. Principal among them was that the board wanted it not to be a 24-hour establishment.

Seaside attempted to limit the hours of a

7-Eleven and it was struck down, said the attorney, Pavliv.

Additionally, they were not able to regulate the delivery schedule of box trucks, because they are not employees of 7-Eleven.

James Henry, the engineer and planner for the development, said there would be two employees on at a time, three shifts a day over a 24-hour period. He expected two box truck deliveries a week, two a day for soft drinks, and one a day for newspapers.

Tractor trailers from the 7-Eleven company would come one or two a week.

The board and 7-Eleven’s professionals discussed details like landscaping and the number of handicapped parking spaces.

The real discussions were about traffic and safety.

Nicholas Verderese, traffic engineer, said the traffic study was done at various times, to record the peak hours of the school, peak summer hours, and for a week in February.

Half of the customers going to a 7-Eleven are on the way to somewhere already, and the 7-Eleven just happens to be there, he said. So, half of the customers wouldn’t add traffic to the neighborhood because they were going to be driving down the road anyway.

“It does not have a significant impact on roadways,” he said. “It will not overburden the adjacent roads.”

Board members were concerned that the picture painted by 7-Eleven was if everything went according to plan. What if the delivery driver doesn’t follow the prescribed route and goes through the neighborhood? What if overflow parking is

needed and people fill up the nearby streets?

There are 280 cars leaving Central Regional High School when it dismisses, said board member Lou Tuminaro, who is also the president of Central’s Board of Education. Then, 45 minutes later, the Middle School lets out another 120 cars. The high school kids are beginning drivers. He asked if any of that was factored.

“I don’t think it’s safe enough for the students,” he said. “So, if something happens to a child in the neighborhood, you’re liable?”

Verderese said that 7-Elevens have been built near schools before but didn’t address the questions specifically.

Board members also didn’t believe that there were only seven pedestrians noted at the intersection during the entire week in February that the traffic study was performed.

When it was time for the public to comment, they asked that the application be denied due to safety and quality of life issues. At one point, a resident asked, by a show of hands, how many people in the audience were against it. Most of the three dozen in the audience raised their hands.

Adele Berardi, a high school teacher in another town, said she lives in the curve of the road down the way from the development.

When she tells people where she lives, people say ‘oh, the house with the accidents.’

She said this store would add more traffic to an already unsafe road.

Additionally, she asked why there should be a commercial property built in a residential (7-Eleven - See Page 20)

OCC:

Continued From Page 1 According to Kenneth Malagiere, Executive Director of the Ocean County College Foundation, $2.5 million of that has been given as an endowment to grant scholarships to attendees of the College’s health sciences programs. The remaining $1.25 million has been approved for healthcare programs at Ocean County College.

The total cost of constructing the Health Sciences Building was approximately $18,550,000. The majority of the project was funded by Chapter 12 which is supported 50 percent by the state and 50 percent by the county.

“The College is grateful to the County of Ocean for its unwavering support of OCC’s campus,” said Sara Winchester, Executive Vice President of Finance & Administration.

“It has been underwritten by not only our [Ocean County] freeholders and our college [OCC] but also the H. Hovnanian Foundation,” said Malagiere.

The Hirair and Anna Hovnanian Foundation is a nonprofit organization that aims to “provide funding for charitable, educational, religious, scientific, literary, or testing for public safety purposes,” according to a press release by OCC. Present at the ribbon cutting was “guest of honor” Edele Hovnanian, daughter of Hirair and Anna Hovnanian and president of the foundation, who said a few words on her family’s behalf.

“Ocean County College has always been a part of our family’s life…I was raised on North Maple Avenue in Toms River so a good part of my memories and childhood is tied to Ocean County,” said Edele. “This gift from my parents is just the beginning.”

“He [Hirair Hovnanian] had great memories with all the men whose names are now on all the buildings in the campus and it was about time that I had dad’s name here too,” she added.

Edele remarked that she was proud to have her father’s name on such a beautiful building.

The new H. Hovnanian Health Sciences Building is a 47,000 square foot, three-story building that was constructed for the nursing and health sciences programs, some of the largest programs in the college. It will provide anywhere from 600 to 800 students per day with various upgraded facilities, new resources and equipment, and more room, to facilitate a much more conducive and accessible learning environment.

“We needed a building that justified what we are doing here,” said Malagiere.

Some of the unique features in the building include Nursing Skills Labs with 30 hospital beds and training equipment, Simulation Labs with programmable mannequins that react to students’ actions, a CPR Training Room, a Phlebotomy Lab and Medical Coding Computer Lab, Continuing and Professional Education Lab with Exam Rooms, a Fitness Room, and a Public Wellness Center/Clinic with Reception/Waiting Area and Exam Rooms.

A particularly cool feature of the new building is the Simulation Labs. These are four rooms set up like patient rooms with a control center in the middle, where students “can practice their skills in a safe environment,”

The Berkeley Times, May 19, 2018, Page 5 according to Teresa Walsh, Dean of Nursing and Health Sciences, while being observed by faculty through a two-way mirror.

“Faculty can become the voice of the patient, they can change the scenario to see if they [the students] are meeting all the skills,” she added.

The simulation labs encompass ER, Pediatrics/OB, ICU, and other areas of medicine for a more well-rounded skill level. Whereas the program only has one sim lab and one control room in the current building, according to Walsh, they will now have four.

Another beneficial aspect of the new sim labs is a conference room located right next door where students can go to see a video recording of how they handled the patient situation in the simulation for better feedback.

The new area provides students with more space and better equipment to work with so that they are better prepared when it comes time to work on real patients. Not only this, but the expanded facilities allow OCC to expand its student population within the nursing program.

“We’re going to be able to open up courses that were closed down because of space; lack of classrooms, lack of faculty, so we’re excited about that,” said Malagiere.

Walsh called the ribbon cutting a wonderful day for the nursing program. “We kind of outgrew our building…it was built in the 70s, it’s very small,” said Walsh.

She noted that the new building provides the students with more collaborative space so that nursing students, who she said tend to gravitate towards each other, can work together comfortably for studying.

“We’re also going to have continuing education related to health sciences in the building too,” she said. “That involves point of care technicians, medical technicians, that work with nurses in the hospitals,” to create an interaction between the career side and the continuing education side of the program.

Walsh added that in addition to these titles, they will also have Phlebotomists and EKG technicians available.

“Generations of students will benefit from this beautiful building,” said Dr. Jon Larson, President of Ocean County College, in his opening remarks.

Among many thanks, Larson thanked the Ocean County Freeholders who “together with the state of New Jersey, bonded this project to the tune of $13.6 million.”

Present at the ribbon cutting were Free-

holder John C. Bartlett, liaison to OCC, and Freeholder Virginia Haines, the honoree of the OCC Foundation’s upcoming Fellowship Gala on June 15.

Bartlett joked that “it’s only through the miracles of modern medicine that I’m standing here today, and so it is entirely appropriate and a great honor for me, to be in this health science building.” Bartlett deeply thanked the Hovnanian Foundation for contributing to this project to further health science education, remarking that in the time he knew Hirair Hovnanian, he knew him as “a great man.”

“Here at OCC, our student body and our education ambitions both continue to grow, and our college campus follows suit. We regularly undertake capital projects knowing full well, the quality of our surroundings is directly proportional to the quality of the daily lives of our students and is also a tribute to the citizen taxpayers of Ocean County,” said Larson.

Malagiere remarked that anyone can become a “Major Donor” by dedicating one of the classrooms or labs in the new building. Donor opportunities range from the first to the third floor and from $25-200,000. All donations will go towards supporting scholarships and health science programs.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER The Right To Die With Dignity Empathy is a feeling.

Different than sympathy.

Empathy is the ability to understand another person’s experiences.

“The right to die with dignity” is a choice. If your religion forbids it, then do not do it. However, I choose to die with dignity, to die without pain and suffering or the loss of all my hard earned assets. At the end of life all is lost to doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and more.

We put our pets down when they are terminal and suffering, why should we deny humans the same right and choice? Please vote in your state for this bill to pass “the right to die with dignity.” You do not have to choose this for yourself but please vote for it for those like me who do need and choose this right at the time when it is necessary.

Letters To The Editor Emotional Ties At The Albert Music Hall

The seasons change, and with each, come many new visitors to Albert Music Hall.

Upon witnessing a program, most newcomers will take it at face value as being just another music show. The general ambiance of the building and stage may also give a misleading first impression that this is a professional production.

They may wonder at the low admission price, after seeing an almost four hour live concert performed by typically 30 or more talented musicians.

Most do not even remotely consider the possibility that this is a 100 percent volunteer preservation organization.

However, the novices may notice an uncommon degree of friendliness, familiarity, and interaction between musicians, staff and audience members. They may be intrigued by the impromptu musical gatherings in the Pickin’ Shed, on the porch, and occasionally in the parking lot.

They may also be somewhat annoyed at the multiplicity of discussions abounding in the lobby, snack and gift booth areas. It seems that chatter and music is everywhere.

Sadly, many may fail to comprehend one of the most unique and traditional characteristics of the Saturday night shows. This is the deep emotional tie that runs between the audience, the staff, and the performers.

Professional music shows that I have seen, invariably offer well-trained performers, executing a carefully planned, technically excellent, well-rehearsed presentation in a very quiet theatre. At the same time, such professional shows always leave some (usually a lot) of emotional distance between those who perform and the audience. Spontaneity and basic sincerity are also often found lacking. They do their job, they do it well, they earn their pay, and then leave.

At Albert Music Hall, the musicians form bands with friends, and arrange their own programs. While the groups often play together and always rehearse in the practice rooms before their set, the end result is often fairly spontaneous, reflecting the mood at the time. There are no formal stage rehearsals. The

Letters The musicians constantly To travel does occur atEditor younger ages newspapers and magazines, through and mingle with audience members going to and from the stage. Indeed, a large percentage of the audience consists of friends, fellow musicians, relatives and family. Consequently, there are many inherently strong intermingled emotional ties.

At Albert Music Hall, the newcomer has certainly stumbled upon something unexpected and unique. Some will dislike it and never come again. Others will be intrigued, visit again and again and, in doing so, find they too have become emotionally involved. It can be a very strong bond, with new kindred friends listening, playing and learning together.

People care about each other, and it shows. There is a sense that there is something here indicative of another, less complicated time. Something that is worth saving for others, something for them to discover for themselves.

I know. I was a newcomer in 1985.

Signs Of Dementia And Alzheimer’s Here I am sitting in front of my computer, wondering, “Why am I at my computer?

Oh, yeah… an EMS article!

What was I going to write?”

Sometimes I just have those days. You too? I decided to look up some questions on dementia and Alzheimer’s.

The following quoted is plagiarized from reliable sources on the Internet. I don’t get graded, or paid, and I admit the plagiarism up front so I think that makes it okay.

“Is there a difference between dementia and Alzheimer ’s? Dementia is a syndrome, not a disease. ... Dementia is a group of symptoms that affects mental cognitive tasks such as memory and reasoning. Dementia is an umbrella term that Alzheimer’s disease can fall under. It can occur due to a variety of conditions, the most common of which is Alzheimer’s disease.

Who usually gets dementia?

It is rare for someone under 65 to have dementia, but it

and we call this ‘younger onset dementia’. People often wonder whether dementia is inherited. The answer for most of us is, no. The common forms of dementia are likely caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Can dementia be brought on by stress? Too much stress in your life can ultimately lead to depression and dementia, scientists have warned. A major review of published research suggests that chronic stress and anxiety can damage areas of the brain involved in emotional responses, thinking and memory, leading to depression and even Alzheimer’s disease.

Common early symptoms of dementia include: memory problems, particularly remembering recent events, increasing confusion, reduced concentration, personality or behavior changes, apathy and withdrawal or depression, or a loss of ability to do everyday tasks.

How do you test for dementia? Diagnosis of dementia: There is no one test to determine if someone has dementia. Doctors diagnose Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia based on a careful medical history, a physical examination, laboratory tests, and the characteristic changes in thinking, day-today function and behavior associated with each type.

Can you reverse dementia?

It was thought ‘no’ for quite a while. We now know otherwise. Similarly, dementia can be reversed if caught early enough and by attending to all the factors that affect brain function – including diet, exercise, stress, nutritional defi ciencies, toxins, hormonal imbalances, and inflammation. To do this is, in fact, quite simple.”

There’s a lot more specific information online. Just type your question in your browser and it will pop up.

HCBEMS is the busiest squad in Ocean County.

There is no free EMS without volunteers. Consider joining our EMS squad for a year or 2, maybe 5. No experience necessary! You’ll be CPR certified, get regular training, a uniform, experience, and new friends. We need you!

Don’t forget to recycle

phone books and aluminum cans at the recycling center behind HCBEMS building.

Stay Well!

A Sarcastic Suggestion For Death Penalty Death penalty proponents are becoming increasingly concerned (especially in Texas), that because lethal injections have proved unreliable in dispatching the condemned, it will be used as an excuse by some for doing away with capital punishment.

Former Texas Governor Rick Perry, an ardent death penalty supporter and “Pro-Life” advocate, feels executions are necessary if we are to weed out society’s misfits and keep the folks safe.

Ever since “old sparky” was replaced by pharmaceuticals, things just haven’t been the same. To relieve the good people’s anxiety from the Lone Star state over this potential problem, permit me to offer a “modest proposal”: Bring back public hangings, or at least the firing squad.

Better yet, how about beheadings!

I think re-establishing these tried and true forms of punishment would go a long way in restoring people’s confidence in this conservative state make ‘em feel right at home.

And I’d go one step further.

To ensure the folks the job was done right, I recommend televising all executions in between NASCAR pit-stop races.

In addition, I urge capital punishment events be viewed complete with slow-motion, stop-action and instant replay coverage, along with in-depth color commentary analysis.

All of which I’m sure would exponentially add to the day’s festivities. Just think of the T.V. ratings!

I sincerely hope death penalty backers will assiduously consider these most reasonable and constructive proposals that I believe will effectively end the lethal injection controversy once and for all.

Important Community Events Coming Up In Berkeley From The Desk Of

The Mayor - By Berkeley Mayor

Carmen F. Amato, Jr. Armed Forces Day Ar med Forces Day is Saturday, May 19. Armed Forces Day is a national observance in the United States on the third Saturday of May each year. It is a day to pay tribute to men and women who serve the United States Armed Forces. Armed Forces Day is also part of Armed Forces Week, which begins on the second Saturday of May.

On August 31, 1949, Louis Johnson, who was the United States Secretary of Defense, announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy and Air Force days. The event stemmed from the armed forces unification under one department, The Department of Defense. The fi rst Armed Forces Day was celebrated on Saturday, May 20, 1950.

The theme for that day was Teamed for Defense, expressing the unification of all military forces under one government department. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, the day was designed to expand public understanding of what type of job was performed and the role of the military in civilian life.

At the inaugural Armed Forces Day, parades, open houses, receptions and air shows were held to honor and acknowledge Americans in the armed forces.

Events across the United States take place on Armed Forces Day to honor Americans in uniform who served their country

in times of war and peace.

On Saturday, May 19, at 10 a.m. the Holiday City at Berkeley First Aid Squad is holding their Ar med Forces Day and Memorial Day Ceremony at the squad building on 100 Port Royal Drive behind Holiday City at Berkeley Clubhouse 2.

The Holiday City/Silver Ridge Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10185 Color Guard will be on hand.

All residents are invited to attend.

Residential Document Shredding Program I’m pleased to announce the Ocean County Residential Document Shredding Program is coming

to Berkeley Township, on Saturday, June 2, at the Berkeley Township Recycling Center, 630 Pinewald Keswick Road, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Residential Document Shredding program has provided residents and taxpayers the opportunity to recycle their old documents and files safely and securely. The shredding unit features an automatic feeding and dumping system, eliminating human contact with your documents and forms.

The service representatives are uniformed, bonded and insured.

The program is for all paper documents and paper forms. Paper clips and

staples DO NOT have to be removed. Unacceptable items are: X-Rays, CDs, f loppy disks, micro film and file folders. Each vehicle is limited to six boxes or bags of documents.

Commercial and business documents are not accepted. I encourage all residents to use this service to recycle important documents.

Especially because scams and identify thefts are now at an all time high.

This is a free service sponsored by the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. If you have any questions call the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management at 732-5065047.

MacArthur Legislation To Help Veterans Passes Out Of Committee From The Desk Of

Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman MacArthur, whose father served during the Korean War, announced that bipartisan legislation he introduced to help vet-

erans who are suffering from Agent Orange or other herbicide-related conditions has passed out of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs.

The Fairness for Korea n DM Z Vetera ns Act (H.R.3605) expands the time frame of eligibility for disability compensation for veterans who served at or near the Korean DMZ and are suffering from herbicide-related conditions.

Currently, that time frame is between April 1, 1968 and August 3rd, 1971. This legislation will change the eligibility date to September 1, 1967 for these veterans,

allowing them to receive the health care they have earned.

This bill received bipartisan support from 39 members of Congress and was endorsed by both the VFW and the American Legion.

The text of this legislation was included in an amendment to the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act that was offered by Chairman Phil Roe, M.D., of Tennessee.

“The inclusion of the Fair-

ness for Korean DMZ Veterans Act in the bill which passed committee today, is a major victory for our Korean War veterans. I started working on this issue thanks to a meeting with Garfield Harper, a Korean War Veteran who lives in Burlington County. This is a major step in righting a wrong that far too many veterans have lived with for too long,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur.

“I’m grateful for the com-

mittee’s work on this important package of bills and I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to see this bill approved by the full House of Representatives. Our district is home to over 50,000 veterans and I believe we have an absolute obligation to provide quality care for them. They have sacrificed so much for our freedoms and now it’s up to us to fight for them.”

Freeholders Call On Murphy To Restore Full Funding For Homestead Property Tax Rebate Program

OCEAN COUNTY – After the State slashed in half this year’s Homestead Property Tax rebates for seniors and low-income families, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders is asking Gov. Phil Murphy to restore full funding for the program.

“Our county has the largest percentage of senior citizens in the state so this cut has really taken its toll on many of our residents,” said Freeholder Joseph H.

Vicari, liaison to the Ocean County Department of Senior Services.

Last year former Gov. Chris Christie and the state Legislature slashed the rebate for seniors from $516 to $267. Low-income families saw their rebate drop from $403 annually to $202.

While state leaders are still wrestling with the proposed 2019 budget, press reports say Murphy’s office has indicated that he favors maintaining the rebates at

the lower level.

Vicari, in a May 8 letter to the governor, asked him to reconsider.

“Social Security cost of living increases have not kept pace with rising medical, utility and other costs borne by our senior citizens,” Vicari said in the letter. “A $249 annual cut in property tax rebates, or about $20 per month, may not seem like much on the surface, but for seniors, some of whom cannot afford

the $2 charge for meals-onwheels, this is a significant loss.”

Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said that while he understands the fiscal difficulties faced by the state, tax breaks for seniors and the needy should be a priority for both the governor and the legislature.

“Let’s not balance the budget on the backs of our

seniors,” Little said.

Vicari agreed, saying many of the county’s older residents are living on fixed incomes.

“Caring for the needy and less fortunate among us has been a priority of your administration, as it has been a priority of our county government. I ask you to please support our senior citizens and restore the Homestead

Property Tax Rebate to its full level of funding,” Vicari said in the letter.

According to the state, about 600,000 residents received a Homestead Property Tax rebate this year.

Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers in the Senate and Assembly have also expressed support for returning the tax rebates to 2017 levels.

2018 Sounds Of Summer Concert Series Sponsorship

DIABETES AND SLEEP APNEA ENDANGER VISION

Individuals who suffer from diabetes in combination with “obstructive sleep apnea” (OSA) have a greater risk of losing their vision to “diabetic retinopathy.” For those unfamiliar with OSA, it is a condition in which the walls of the throat relax and narrow during sleep. As a result, OSA sufferers snore and experience interrupted breathing, which jeopardizes their health. Many people who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea are unaware that they do. If so, it is important to treat a condition that not only could eventually lead to heart problems, but that also threatens their vision. With this in mind, those with type 2 diabetes who have not been evaluated for OSA should do so.

Just as it’s important for ophthalmologists to be alert to hypertension or mild diabetic retinopathy, it’s also important to recognize visual conditions that might be associated with sleep apnea. To schedule an eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

Continued From Page 1 Sophomore catcher Todd Bates, a former Brick Memorial player now with Montclair State University, was an honorable mention selection.

Each player was honored after the regular season.

Serreino was 3-2 with a 0.47 earned run average in NJAC play. He struck out 44 batters in 38 2/3 innings and tossed two shutouts. He led the NJAC in ERA and opposing batting average (.095), tied for first in strikeouts, ranked fourth in innings pitched and tied for seventh in victories.

He was 6-2 overall with a 1.03 ERA and 71 strikeouts in 61 1/3 innings for the Profs.

In the NJAC, DiPiazza compiled a 4-1 record, a 1.45 ERA and 36 strikeouts in 31 innings. He tied for second in wins, tied for fourth in strikeouts and ranked fifth in opposing batting average (.156) and seventh in ERA. He was 6-1 with a 1.34 ERA on the season. He whiffed 62 batters in 47 innings.

He pitched for Mercer County Community College during the 2016 and 2017 seasons, putting up a 20-3 record and pitching five complete games en route to a 2.39 earned run average. He blazed his way to 193 strikeouts in 154 2/3 innings.

He was named the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II Pitcher of the Year and a first-team All-American in 2016.

DiPiazza, a 6-foot-7, 243-pounder, tied the school record with 15 strikeouts in a win against Ripon College Bates, who batted .261, scored 19 runs and drove in 14 runs. He fielded .984 and cut down 10 baserunners.

Naif perfect: Felician University senior righty Dan Naif (Jackson Liberty) combined with a teammate on a three-hitter in the team’s 4-0 win over Goldey Beacom College.

Naif hurled a perfect seventh inning in relief.

The former Lion set Felician’s all-time appearances record (92) for a pitcher, working a scoreless bottom of the ninth in relief in a 15-5

win over Bloomfield College. Naif posted his Felician career record 32nd save in a 5-3 win over Post University.

Corsi, McCabe aid win: New Jersey City University junior third baseman Matt Corsi (Toms River East) and junior lefty Kyle McCabe (Brick Memorial) helped the Gothics past Lehman College 15-3.

Corsi went 1-for-3, singled home one run and scored one run. McCabe pitched 2 1/3 shutout innings, allowing four hits and tossing 26 pitches.

Martone, Santoro contribute: Graduate student Mike Martone (Brick Memorial) and junior Freehold resident Anthony Santoro (St. John Vianney) helped Felician past the University of the Sciences 15-1.

Martone pinch hit a two-run homer in the ninth. He tucked the drive inside the right-field foul pole to cap the game’s scoring. It was his first career homer for Felician. It came in his 109th career game.

Santoro, a junior catcher, hit a run-scoring single in the third for a 6-0 lead.

Feehan connects: New Jersey City University sophomore left fielder Bill Feehan (Point Pleasant Boro) stroked two hits in a 12-5 loss to host Montclair under the lights at Yogi Berra Stadium.

Hughes hot on hill: Stockton University junior righty Ray Hughes (Lacey) was named the Osprey of the Week after tossing his first career shutout in a 7-0 win over New Jersey City University.

Hughes struck out 10 and allowed four hits.

He pushed his record to 3-2 and lowered his earned run average to 1.95 for fifth in the NJAC. He raised his team-high strikeouts total to 47.

No catching Molloy: Former Toms River North speedster Zack Molloy helped the Rider University men’s swimming and diving team win the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship Meet for the seventh straight time.

He captured the event’s Men’s Most Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet for the third (Ballplayers - See Page 15)

Continued From Page 14 consecutive year.

On the first day of the meet, the former Mariner helped the Broncs win the 800-yard freestyle relay in a meet-record 6:30.52, shattering the old record by almost four seconds.

On the second day, Molloy sprinted to first place in the 50 freestyle in an MAAC and Rider record 19.66.

Molloy swam the anchor leg on the 200 freestyle relay team, which won the even in an MAAC record 1:20.06. On the third day, Molloy swam the second leg on the second-place 400 medley relay team (3:16.62) and won the 200 freestyle in 1:35.33.

On the final day of action, Molloy swam the opening leg on the winning 400 freestyle relay team. It set an MAAC record in 2:58.58. He broke the MAAC record earlier, winning the 100 freestyle in 43.10.

Molloy owns the MAAC record in the 50, 100, 200 and 500 freestyles.

Rider senior Ben Smith (Lacey) helped the Broncs to the team title, placing eighth in the 200 butterfly.

Barnes among the best: Former Manchester player Kashaun Barnes, a Stockton University junior guard, made the All-NJAC second-team after starring for the Ospreys in men’s basketball during the regular season.

Barnes placed third in the NJAC in scoring, averaging 18.0 points per game. The Toms River resident averaged 4.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per outing. He averaged 34.3 minutes per game for third in the NJAC and was 10th in the league in both free-throw percentage (.793 percent) and three-pointers made (2.0) per showing.

Barnes scored in double figures in 17 of his 20 games, including seven games with at least 20 points. He erupted for a career-high 37 points in an 89-81 win over Montclair State University, blazing away at a 14 of 23 clip from the field, including five of nine from downtown, in 40 minutes. He added six rebounds and four assists.

Scott, Schleifer cited: Brick Township graduates Drew Scott and Matt Schleifer earned football honors at McDaniel College after starring for the Green Terror last fall.

Scott, a senior linebacker, was named the Defensive Most Valuable Player. Schleifer, a return specialist-wide receiver, was named the Special Teams Most Valuable Player.

Tinnitus Research: Hope For The Future, Solutions Today

Residential Dementia & Alzheimer’s Community

Tinnitus — that buzzing, ringing, whistling, or clicking in the ear that no one else seems to hear — might not yet be curable, but science isn’t taking that lying down!

With some 50 million Americans alone and others worldwide experiencing this sometimes-debilitating condition, researchers are determined to uncover its secrets and create new ways of fighting back.

Check out these three exciting developments: The Hearing Health Foundation, a U.S. nonprofit that aims in part “to prevent and cure hearing loss and tinnitus through groundbreaking research,” awarded a 2017 Emerging Research Grant to Timothy Balmer, Ph.D., for a closer look at potential causes and approaches to tinnitus. Balmer aims “to investigate whether chronic transmitter exposure in nerve cells of the cochlear nucleus may be a cause of tinnitus, which eventually may lead to clinical tinnitus treatments.”

The American Tinnitus Foundation, supporting its “decades-long dedication to funding innovative research and initiatives toward finding cures for tinnitus,” approved more than $156,000 last fall for four research projects. One of the projects, led by Sarah Theodoroff, Ph.D., of the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research at the Portland VA Medical Center in Oregon, involves a new approach to diagnosing hyperacusis, or sound sensitivity, in tinnitus patients.

Horizon 2020, a European Union program dedicated to funding research and innovations, has awarded $12 million to a trio of training networks whose collective projects — Tinnitus Assessment Causes and Treatments, the European School for Interdisciplinary Tinnitus Research, and Liaison in Scientific Training for European Auditory Neuroscience — will engage tens of Ph.D. candidates from across Europe, expanding

academic exposure to a public-health issue that demands attention.

If you have tinnitus, don’t let it get in the way of your ability to work, sleep, lead an active life, or even think! There’s help and hope. Call our experienced team at 732-818-3610 to start enjoying relief from tinnitus today.

P.S. DID YOU KNOW? Scientists may be working on a cure, but you can successfully manage your tinnitus now with solutions ranging from medical treatments to little changes at home. Possible causes of tinnitus can include hearing loss, ear blockage, sinus pressure, thyroid problems, medications, sinus pressure, or head and neck trauma — but the first step toward solving it is to come in for an evaluation.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Support Your Thyroid With Supplements

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Hopefully you realize that in order to look, feel, and function your best as you age, it’s imperative that you take good care of your thyroid gland because it plays a role in many plaguing symptoms from head to toe including hair loss, chronic fatigue, skin problems, insomnia and weight gain. The trouble is that lab tests lie, and don’t usually confirm what you’re feeling.

I had to find that out myself the hard way, and that’s why I wrote, Thyroid Healthy.

Ever since I dealt with a bout of hypothyroidism years ago, and healed myself completely, I’ve been a big advocate of supplements for thyroid support.

One quick thing, your T4 has to lose one iodine atom to form T3, that’s what the numbers stand for. It’s the T3 that works, and helps energize you, burn off fat, grow pretty hair beautiful and improve memory.

Converting that T4 to T3 is a big deal. All the T4 in the world won’t cure hypothyroidism if you don’t activate it to T3 and to do that, you need certain cofactors and nutrients like the following: Probiotics: You need probiotics to convert the T4 hormone you make (or take in the form of medication). As much as 20% of your inactive T4 is converted to T3 in your gut, if your digestion is working well.

Unfortunately, many of us have woefully inadequate gut health because we are lacking friendly bacteria.

Zinc: Zinc is critical for activating T4 to T3 in the liver and kidneys and it improves the function of specific enzymes

(deiodinase) which activate thyroid hormone. Remember, you want to activate it by converting the T4 your gland spits out, into T3.

Selenium: Like zinc, this mineral is also needed for certain deiodinase enzymes which convert T4 to T3. Selenium is also needed to balance excess thyroid activity that may be caused by internal or external stressors.

Catalase: Hydrogen peroxide is sometimes high in people with thyroid disorders, so neutralizing it is important, especially if you have Hashimoto’s. Catalase is as an antioxidant to reduce hydrogen peroxide that you make in your liver. It’s extremely beneficial to your blood stream, to your thyroid and to all your organs.

By the way catalase helps break down alcohol, that’s why some people take it for hangovers, lol! Hydrogen peroxide is a free radical that can take your body over.

Hydrogen peroxide has been studied and it’s implicated in oxidative stress disorders and many chronic illnesses.

Ashwagandha: This incredible herb stimulates production of both T4 and T3 in your body. It also nourishes your adrenal glands, so if you feel like you can’t cope with stress, this is a wonderful botanical to consider. There’s a longer version of this article waiting for you, after you sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen. com You can heal yourself. Truth is, I used to be a human doing, and I had to train myself to become a human being.

Continued From Page 1 her 101st birthday on June 1, 2018.

When asked what her plans were for the big day she said “I already celebrated last year,” when she reached the incredible milestone of turning 100 years old. So, it seems 101 is no big deal to Dominica.

However, CVCJ, RWJBarnabas Health, and Community Medical Center think otherwise.

To the hosts of the luncheon for Older Americans Month, the large senior citizen population of Ocean County is important and deserves to be celebrated.

The luncheon, held at Community Medical Center on May 14, had nearly 40 Ocean County residents ages 95 to 102 in attendance to celebrate their lives and support Community Medical Center’s commitment to keeping people healthy and active through every stage of life.

“It was reported that people over the age of 95 represent only .1 percent of the population,” said Jean Flaherty of Community Medical Center.

“You’re a member of a very exclusive club and we’re really happy that you came today,” she said to the attendees.

“Older Americans Month is a fairly new month

of recognition established by a presidential proclamation in 2015, to celebrate the accomplishments and sacrifices of our elders,” said Michael Mimoso, President and Chief Executive Officer of Community Medical Center. “Among our special guests, there are more than 2,000 years of life experiences in this room; you’ve been a part of historic moments and seen the world change and accomplished incredible things.”

Mimoso also emphasized that it is Community Medical Center’s mission to keep seniors healthy and out of the hospital.

Lynette Whiteman, MS, Executive Director of Caregivers said, “All of us at (Caregivers) consider it such an honor to be a part of your life…you have inspired us and shared with your volunteers your wisdom and your advice.”

Caregivers is “an interfaith nonprofit agency dedicated to providing free supportive services to the frail elderly and the homebound, enabling them to live independently and with dignity in their own homes,” according to their website.

Whiteman remarked that some research led her to discover that three particular factors contribute to a long life: good nutrition, exercise, and staying connected to others. She said that she finds this to be true in many of Caregivers’ senior members.

So, what is the secret to a long life?

For Dominica, it is keeping active and busy, according to her Caregivers volunteer Joann.

Dominica said she loves to bake, cook, and clean. Joann takes her to her doctor’s appointments, to the store, and even accompanies her to family events.

Dominica is native to New Jersey, born in Elizabeth. Her parents came over to the States from Italy. Dominica said that she also speaks Italian.

“I had to, my parents didn’t speak English.”

For Art Edler, the secret is keeping himself surrounded with people. Art used to be a volunteer for Caregivers, where he volunteered to drive care receivers where they needed to go.

He is now a Caregivers care receiver. “I run the whole gamut,” he joked.

Art is a lively 95-year old who is active in church and is also a member of an “OB” group, short for “Old Bachelor’s.” Art loves people and is a friend to everybody, which has been a contributing factor to his wonderfully long life thus far, according to his volunteer.

Also continuing to stay active is 96-year old Anita Maynard, who has been volunteering at Community Medical Center since 1988. She has provided over 7,300 hours of service and still drives herself to and from the hospital.

Anita still volunteers every once and a while at the hospital gift shop, noting that it keeps her busy and she meets some interesting people there. She also swims every day, doing exercise water aerobics that helps to keep her young. “I don’t feel pain,” she said.

Anita is from Poland with a slight Polish accent, and still feels very strongly about her heritage after all these years. She noted that she comes from the eastern part of Poland that is now considered the Ukraine but still thinks of it as home. Anita lived through World War II before she came over to the states nearly 70 years ago.

The room was full of not just senior citizens but also deep and varied histories. According to Community Medical Center, our senior citizen population in Ocean County is the largest in the state of NJ. “We hope to see all of you back next year,” said Flaherty to attendees.

Ocean County Airport Temporary Home To Air Tanker Fighting Brush Fires

BERKELEY TOWN–Photo courtesy Ocean County Freeholders SHIP – As forest fire season continues in Ocean County, the Ocean County Airport, here, is again the temporary home to a single engine air tanker operated by the New Jersey State Forest Fire Service.

Continued From Page 4 zone when there are a number of empty storefronts on Route 9. “Why put a new store in a town that can’t support it?” She worried that this would lead to a strip of stores on that road.

Jason Mahr is a neighbor and is also a police officer. He said people would be surprised at the amount of crime seen at convenience stores in the middle of the night.

Several people agreed with him. They were worried that people would come off the Garden State Parkway, rob the place, and then jump back on the parkway. Or, they would deliver drugs to a local dealer waiting there.

Kate Rizzo, who lives next door, said it takes her five to eight minutes to make a right turn out of her driveway in the morning. She moved there three years ago, knowing it was busy, but expecting that it would always be residential. Now, she’ll have to deal with the noise, the lights, and the trash blowing into her yard.

Denise Ledoux lives immediately behind the property. The store will be 10 feet from her property line. She asked what would happen if there are six cars heading south at the light, trying to make a left, which is common. And then people are coming out of Central, trying to make a left into the

7-Eleven, and everyone gets stuck.

Neighbor Jan Zimmerman said he’s lived on that corner for more than 30 years.

“You guys pushed something through that you shouldn’t have pushed through,” he said. “You’re gonna kill somebody. You can live with that?”

Forest Hills and Grand Central parkways are both county roads, so the county would need to approve any changes to the actual roadway, said John Ernst, the county engineer, in a phone interview after the meeting.

The county planning board provided conditional approval to the plan in April. The county put nine conditions for approval on the developer, he said. These were things that the 7-Eleven needed to change in their plan. Most of them were minor, such as providing more information. For example, they were required to provide traffic estimates going up to the year 2028.

A more significant one was to extend the concrete island on Forest Hills that is between Central Regional and the site of the proposed store, he said. This would extend it past the Forest Hills entrance to the store. This would block any driver from trying to make a left out of the store onto that road. Additionally, there would be a sign on the island telling drivers that left turns are illegal.

It is expected to be built in 2019.

By Kimberly Bosco BRICK – Calling all runners, walkers, sponsors, and volunteers! Join us for the 4th Annual Jogging for John 5K on May 19 to help raise funds for local cancer patients at the Brick Township Reservoir.

This event is meant to bring the local community together in honor of Point Pleasant Beach native John J. Dooros. John was also a Vietnam veteran, a teacher in the Brick Township School System for over 37 years, and a devoted husband and father to his wife Regina and kids, James and Demetra.

John was diagnosed with head and neck cancer in 2008 and then developed lung cancer due to Agent Orange exposure during his time in Vietnam.

John was treated at Mount Sinai, Hackensack Medical Center, and Ocean Medical Center. The Jogging for John fund raiser was later created by the Ocean Medical Center Association, a local non-profit organization.

“During his fight, it felt like our family spent more time at Ocean Medical Center than anywhere else,” said his wife, Regina.

There will be prizes and refreshments donated by local businesses, and all proceeds will benefit Ocean Medical Center for the Mother Hen Fund, to support local oncology patients with various needs during treatment.

Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. until 8:45 a.m. The 5K starts at 9 a.m. and the Kids’ Fun Run starts at 9:30 a.m.

You can pre-register or donate online at runsignup.com/Race/NJ/Wall/joggingforjohn5k. Pre-registration is $25 and the Kids’ Fun Run is $10 plus a small processing fee.

Race-day registration is $30 cash only and $15 for the fun run.

Donations can also be made by check to the Ocean Medical Center Association designating, “Jogging for John” to P.O. Box 904, Brick NJ 08723.

NEW JERSEY – May is Military Appreciation month and Crossroads Realty is proud to announce that we participate in U.S. Military on the Move, a program offered exclusively by Leading Real Estate Companies of the World.

When buying or selling a home, we have a program designed to reward America’s fighting men and women for their service to our country.

U.S. Military on the Move is a free real estate rebate and information program that allows you to earn cash back when you buy or sell a home. When you buy or sell a home through U.S. Military on the Move, you receive a cash rebate on the actual sales price – not a fixed

amount based on a range of values – and you’ll receive your rebate at closing!

Crossroads has been assisting veterans and civilians reach their home ownership dreams since 1966. Byron Kotzas, founder of Crossroads Realty, was a veteran of the Air Force, piloting missions from 1942 to 1945 in WWII. He also has been an avid supporter of the ongoing efforts of the USO. Byron was legendary for his philanthropic endeavors with many charities but the USO was very dear to home.

We thank you for your service. To find out more about this program, please call Tina Orth at 732-674-7913.

Prosecutors Office Recognizes “Unsung Heroes”

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato and President of the Ocean County School Administrators Loren B. Fuhring recently announced the recipients of the 2018 school year Ocean County Prosecutor/Ocean County Association of School Administrators “Unsung Hero” Student Recognition Awards.

The recognition awards program, in its’ fourth year, gives every Ocean County school the opportunity to submit one student from the highest graduating class as the school’s “Unsung Hero”. This is not an academic award. The award criteria cite that the student has overcome some type of major adversity, challenge (physical or emotional) and/or has shown immense improvement.

On May 2, in a ceremony held at the Frog Pond Elementary School in Little Egg Harbor, recipients from across Ocean County received their award certificate in a “You Make A Difference” decorative folder frame pictured below. They will also receive a commemorative DVD. The video link to the DVD can be found at youtu.be/AxAJXmP3vfM. As in years past Prosecutor Coronato delivered a congratulatory address to those in attendance stating, “This is a good day – this is your day – a day you will always remember.

An award represents recognition for something very special that you and you alone were able to accomplish. We should never underestimate the importance of recognizing someone even for the smallest achievement or accomplishment. Always remember, life is what you make it – and as the recipients of these awards, you have already shown us that whatever you put your mind to you can accomplish. It is not always the monumental accomplishments that make people notice us, sometimes it is the tiny little things that make you shine and be recognized.”

The 2018 award recipients include: • Alexis Mackiewicz, Tuckerton Elementary School • Seth Edwards, Toms River High School South • Leslie Yupa, Toms River High School North • Samantha Convery, Toms River High School East • Madelyn Beirne, Stafford Intermediate

School • Danielle Shepherd, Point Pleasant Borough High School • Hunter Clark, Point Pleasant Beach High School • Jillian Williams, Pinelands Regional High School • Andres J.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of May 19 - May 25

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): The first half of the week is a poor time to launch crucial projects as there could be unexpected changes to your plans. It might be best to consider your future financial needs and lay the groundwork for stability.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Develop an archive of accurate assumptions. You and a special someone share the same tastes and passions. You can take this to a logical conclusion in the week ahead when there is time for private, intimate moments.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You deserve to only have the best and highest. Maybe you will need to be patient or to economize to gratify your desires as the week unfolds, but you will find it worth every penny and the wait in the long run.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be in a negative frame of mind about job or career prospects. Rather than making impulsive changes in the week ahead, in the hopes that they will change your luck, focus on being reliable and steady.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It is wise to be discreet about a financial matter or career objective. Office politics can be tricky to handle as this week unfolds, so remain inconspicuous.

Use good business sense to handle unexpected changes in plan.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Remember that good fences make good neighbors. In the week to come you may be challenged to defend your territory so it is wise to offer well-defined limits. Being too inquisitive or intrusive could stir up animosity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the week to come you may find it difficult to predict how others may react to your ideas. Wait a few days before you exert persuasive tactics. Your energies could easily get scattered if you are subjected to repeated interruptions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The week ahead can offer you opportunities to explore your creative side. Use your vision and foresight to plan a better financial future. You might even recognize money making potential in a hobby or sideline.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Temper friendliness with common sense. Not everyone who gives you advice will be reliable in the week ahead. You must remain respectful of the rights of others especially if personal possessions are involved.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Push and shove” tactics can cause you to lose traction in the week ahead. Be considerate and gentle with people who are unpredictable.

You may be too greedy for your own good or succumb to wishful thinking.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can’t ignore any doubts and concerns that haunt you.

Although you might not have the funds to buy your heart’s desire, or may find there are strings attached, you could receive a boost in pay later in the week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You could be torn two ways. As this week begins you may be suspicion and distrustful about a financial matter on one hand. On the other hand, your generous nature is willing to give others the benefit of the doubt.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Take Mom On A Healthy Trip To Italy Without Leaving The House

By Wolfgang Puck ITALIAN STRATA WITH TOMATOES, BELL PEPPER, AND SWISS CHEESE Serves 8 1/2 pound (250 g) stale country-style whole wheat or multigrain bread 1 garlic clove, halved Olive oil-flavored nonstick cooking spray 1 cup (250 mL) fi nely shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese 1 large red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, seed -ed and torn into thin strips (or the equivalent water-packed bottled roasted red bell pepper) 2 large ripe tomatoes, cored and thinly sliced 3 large eggs 3 large egg whites 2 cups (500 mL) buttermilk 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Fresh basil leaves, cut into thin julienne strips, for garnish Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).

With a sharp bread knife, cut the bread into slices 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick. Rub one or both

sides of each bread slice with the cut sides of the garlic clove halves, using more or less depending on how garlicky you want the strata to be. Then, cut the bread into 3/4-inch (2-cm) cubes.

Lightly coat the inside of a 12-by-10-inch (30-by-25-cm) baking dish, gratin dish, or a heavy nonstick 10-inch (25-cm) skillet with the nonstick cooking spray.

Spread the bread cubes in the dish in a single, even layer. Evenly sprinkle half of the cheese over the bread. Evenly layer the bell pepper strips and tomato slices on top, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the peppers and tomatoes.

Put the eggs and egg whites in a mixing bowl, and beat them lightly with a fork. Add the buttermilk, red pepper flakes, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste, and beat until thoroughly combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ingredients in the baking dish.

Bake the strata until it looks slightly puffed up and the top is golden brown, 45 minutes to an hour. Remove the dish from the oven, and let it set at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before using a large serving spoon to scoop it onto individual serving plates.

Garnish with fresh basil, if you like.
