Homer.

New Jersey’s Homer was a floppy-eared sleuth, purchased as a puppy, sight unseen, in 1960 by Island Heights native Tim Cagney. He became fascinated with the breed while in the military.

Cagney’s puppy became the first trained tracking blood-

hound in the state, who was a member of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office, the first in the state to use bloodhounds.

Today the sheriff’s department has a K-9 unit of 16 dogs, supervised by Sgt. Robert Stack. The unit was recently recognized for its service at a pre-board meeting of the Board of Chosen Freeholders.

“All of the dogs in this unit provide a variety of key tasks throughout Ocean County,” Sheriff Michael G. (K-9 - See Page 7)

The Sears building is proposed to be demolished and replaced with a parking lot. Five storefronts will face out from the mall, surrounding a new entrance to the mall. The stores have square footages of 2,840, 2,335, 2,425, 3,100, and 6,248.

On one side of the parking lot will be six new storefronts separate from the main mall building. On the map, they resemble a strip mall with wide, landscaped walkways. The square footages are proposed to be 34,000, 28,000, 6,940 (with the potential to add another 3,930), 10,750, 7,600, and 2,850.

Leading the field: Former Howell Township athlete Stephanie Bock was named the CACC Women’s Field Athlete of the Year for the second straight season after starring for the Lions.

GCU sophomore Alaa Al-Shrouf, another ex-Howell athlete, was honored as the CACC Men’s Field Athlete of the Year.

GCC mentor Michael Murawski was named the BSN Sports CACC Women’s Track & Field Coach of the Year for the fourth straight season.

Bock captured her latest honor after winning the CACC crown in the shot put at 12.27 meters and placing second in the discus (36.59 meters) and the hammer throw (42.59 meters).

Al-Shrouf won the CACC title in the shot put at 14.03 meters and was second in the discus at 40.95 meters.

Murawski led his club to its f ifth st raight CACC outdoor team championship. His men’s team, seeking its fourth straight crown, fell four points short to Bloomfield College to finish in second place.

A few months ago, the planning board approved a BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse at a pad site in the parking lot nearby. This would be a standalone building served by the new parking lot.

The resolution that approved BJ’s stated it would be an 8,000-square-foot standalone building, have 200-230 employees, and have seating for approximately 250 people.

Simon Properties, which runs the mall, was not able to comment by press time.

A press release from April stated that the “transformational redevelopment” would start in 2018 and conclude in 2020.

“We are excited to redevelop the former Sears’s store with uses that will benefit the community and the existing retailers in these properties,” Michael E. McCarty, chief operating officer, Simon Malls, said in the press release.

Continued From Page 1 jerseyshorefilmfestival.com/tickets/august9th-house-of-independents-730pm-blockpass/ “I am so excited to be a small part of this incredible festival. Stevie Doueck and his staff have created a true fi lmmaker experience. They have been very proactive with their communications with us and we look forward to the experience of not only screening our film but watching other films as well. I will be at as many events and venues as I can! I have reached to local filmmakers that are involved and I hope to continue to build the network of local artists that has been blowing up in and around Monmouth and Ocean County. Asbury Park will serve as the perfect backdrop for this festival and I can’t wait to show filmmakers from around the country our cool little arts hub of Asbury Park. I am also so psyched to be able to invite locals to see our film. Many of our films have had distribution or appeared in New York City. Being a local, I plan on having a wide representation of support from high school, college, my time as an ice cream man, our school, my neighborhood, etc.,” Bollinger said.

The story of The Samaritans centers around four coworkers trying to finish a project at their manager’s home. They’re trying to perfect an App they’ve been working on together remotely, and the first time they all meet face-to-face, they realize they have more in common than they thought.

“Their pasts have provoked a vengeful force to show them the errors in their ways. The home they have been summoned to becomes their court and their prison. Can they prove that history doesn’t repeat itself? Can they redeem themselves before time runs out? Will they figure out their fateful bond before

revenge has its way with them?” the teaser reads.

Bollinger wrote the script in several weeks, and the movie was shot in his Neptune City house in four days. Post production lasted about 18 months.

“It was an experience we will never forget. It was a communal four-day period that went smoothly largely because the six people involved collaborated and contributed without ego or controversy. I had to rely on my team since I was doing triple duty as writer/director/actor,” Bollinger said. “We are thrilled with the fi nished product and look forward to the next phase of this journey. We hope to secure worldwide distribution before the year ends.”

The movie stars Bollinger as Eddie, Keith Collins as Frank, Timothy Laurel Harrison as Daisy and Annelise Nielsen as Rosie.

“Scary (or in our case, unsettling) movies remind us that we are okay. It gives the adrenaline rush of something uncomfortable and potential dangerous within the safe confi nes of our theater or home. Watching people watch our film and squirm a little makes us happy!” Bollinger said. “With Samaritans, we also have an element of humor. Quite often films in the thriller/horror genre add comic moments to let us exhale a bit during what is hopefully a tense ride. We felt very strongly about this. I happen to play the ‘funny’ character and we have found that the laughs we get during screenings are genuine stress releases for our audience. I am not sure what is more satisfying as a filmmaker - to hear people gasp or laugh.”

Another locally-shot feature film, Rock, Paper, Scissors, is in post-production and should be making the fall film festival rounds. His film, The Evangelist, has had world-wide distribution and its Portuguese overdub gave it a successful run in Brazil.

Kelly, Sheriff’s Officer Christine Casullo with K-9 Gertrude Penelope, Sheriff’s Officer James Kohout, with K-9 Emmitt, Captain Keith Klements and Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy.

K-9: Continued From Page 1 Mastronardy said. “In addition to the bloodhounds, we have dogs trained specifically in narcotics, explosives, patrol and arson.

Our K9s are well known throughout the county and the state and we are very proud of the dogs and the officers that work and care for them.”

K-9s Gertrude Penelope and K-9 Emmitt, with their partners, officers Christine Casullo and James Kohout respectively, were honored by the Board for their years of service.

Gertrude Penelope was rescued and given to the Sheriff’s Department as a five-monthold puppy. Now 7 years old, she’s nationally certified though the National Police Bloodhound Association. She’s worked with numerous county and state departments, and has many finds under her nose, including a stabbing suspect.

Emmitt, 9, who hails from Canada, was donated to the department by the National Police Bloodhound Association when he was just 12 weeks old. He’s also nationally certified through the same association, and also has many finds under his nose, including a bank robber and Alzheimer’s patient.

“Both Gertrude and Emmitt continue to provide a great service to the citizens of Ocean County and also our visitors,” Mastr-

onardy said. “They will be retired once our newest bloodhounds – Fiona and Clifford have successfully completed their training.”

Mastronardy said bloodhounds assist in finding missing children and dementia patients. They can also track suspects in homicides, burglaries, robberies, assaults, and motor vehicle accidents.

“All of our bloodhounds are nationally certified once a year, and have continuous training every month,” Mastronardy said.

“The bloodhounds also take part in the many K9 demonstrations done by the K9 Unit each year.”

The newest additions are sibling bloodhounds Fiona and Clifford, 11-week-old puppies from a Westport, New York breeder. They were chosen from a litter of 11.

They’ll be in training for 10 months before they are put out on the road.

“As we visited the puppies, Fiona and Clifford exhibited the qualities we look for in a new dog,” Casullo said. “They were the first to reach the gate when we arrived. They are curious and they are already working well with the training.”

“These dogs, as do all of the K9s in the unit, and their partners provide an important service to all of our citizens and visitors,” Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said. “You can see by their temperament that they are well-trained and they love what they do.”

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

School Funding Cuts Will Make Schools, Taxpayers Suffer From The Desk Of

Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHINGTON, D.C. – I have heard from many constituents who are concerned with Governor Murphy’s school funding cuts, which will have a negative impact on our community – particularly in the Toms

River, Brick, and Lenape Regional School Districts.

I am as upset about this as you are.

Two of my grandparents were teachers who became school superintendents, my mother was a librarian, and

I studied to be a teacher. I have a deep respect for our public school system and the educators and support staff that do so much to improve the lives of our children. Governor Murphy’s funding cuts will put our schools in a difficult position and will inevitably lead to higher taxes, less extracurricular opportunities, and cuts in staff. Our students, educators, and support staff deserve better than this.

Unfortunately, as a fed-

eral legislator, I have no recourse to change Governor Murphy’s decision to cut our school funding.

Unlike Governor Murphy and legislators in Trenton, I have been committed to maintaining federal funding for education.

Earlier this year, I supported the bipartisan federal funding package that included an additional $2.6 billion to support the Department of Education, $86 million more to impact aid programs to assist school

districts meet the needs of military families like those who serve at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and a $700 million increase to grant programs to expand school-based mental health services and bullying prevention. We also passed a bipartisan law to help make our schools safer, by offering grants for security improvements.

I also recently opposed an effort to cut funding to the National Endowment for the Arts and National

Endowment for the Humanities. These programs give our students a valuable opportunity to enrich their education and I was proud to stand up to leaders in my own party who wanted to make these cuts.

There is absolutely no justification for Governor Murphy’s decision to cut school funding in some of our district’s largest towns and I will stand with leaders in our community to fight these cuts every step of the way.

Overdraft Charges Fleece People Who Are Already Low On Money Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) have introduced legislation to crack down on exploitative overdraft fees that banks charge consumers when they make a purchase or pay a bill but don’t have sufficient funds in their account.

The Stop Overdraft Profiteering Act of 2018 would ban overdraft fees on debit card transactions and ATM withdrawals, and limit fees placed for checks and recurring payments. It would also mandate that banks post transactions in a manner that minimizes overdraft and nonsufficient fund fees (often times, banks reorder transactions in such a way as to maximize overdraft fees, which can mean, in some cases, that the consumer faces multiple charges).

“For millions of hardworking Americans, every day is a struggle – they find

themselves one late check or unexpected expense away from financial free fall,” Booker said. “I see this in my community in Newark on a daily basis. Wages aren’t going up but the cost of everything else is, from prescription drugs to housing costs to pocketbook pain points like the fees banks charge consumers for overdraft services. These fees generate enormous amounts of revenue for the banks while most customers don’t even know they’ve opted into such charges. Worse yet, overdraft fees fall on those least likely to be able to afford them – individuals for whom a $35 overdraft charge could push them over the brink into financial ruin. Our bill would end these unfair practices many banks use that leave some consumers – especially those that are the most vulnerable – trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty.”

Specifically the Stop Over-

draft Profiteering Act of 2018 would: • Prohibit overdraft fees on debit card transactions and ATM withdrawals.

• Prohibit financial institutions from charging more than one overdraft fee per month and no more than six overdraft fees in any single calendar year for check and recurring bill payment overdrafts.

• Limit check and recurring bill payment overdraft fees to an amount that is reasonable and proportional to the financial institution’s costs in providing the overdraft coverage.

• Mandate a three-day waiting period between when an individual opens a new account and when a financial institution may offer overdraft protection.

• Mandate that depository institutions post transactions in a manner that minimizes overdraft and nonsufficient fund fees.

• Increase other consumer disclosures related to overdraft coverage programs.

Background on Overdraft Fees: Banks offer overdraft services to allow account hold-

ers to make purchases or pay a bill even if they don’t have sufficient funds in their account, while charging a fee for the service – on average $35.

In 2010, the Federal Reserve implemented overdraft regulations that, among other things, required that consumers affirmatively opt-in to overdraft services.

However, survey data and anecdotal evidence suggest that the opt-in requirement

is being sidestepped by financial institutions marketing overdraft coverage in a confusing and deceptive manner. A 2014 study by Pew found that across all banks, more than half of the people who overdrew their checking accounts and paid a fee in the past year could not recall consenting to the overdraft service.

These fees are disproportionately charged to customers who are least able

to afford them, especially workers living paycheck to paycheck.

O verd r af t fees have emerged as a major source of revenue for banks. Last year alone, three of the largest banks in the country collected over $5 billion in overdraft fees. One former bank CEO even named his yacht “Overdraft” in an apparent nod to the importance of such fees to the bank’s bottom line.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Young Environmentalist Welcomes Open Space Buy I am writing to share my thoughts on the article “County Acquires Land

For Open Space” on page 21 of the July 14, 2018 issue of The Jackson Times. I am in

to know that the county had acquired land for the betterment of the environment. I

hope we continue to support the community by preserving open space for future

generations to enjoy.

Letters To The Editor Sorry, Voters, If I Let You Down We did not win, although this campaign carried six counties, nearly tied in two others and got an incredible number of votes (over 158,000). To put this into perspective, the number of votes we garnered was greater than the number of votes cast for all candidates in the 2015 Democratic primary election. We got a lot of votes without spending much money.

If we had pulled this off, I would have gone overnight from being the Invisible Woman to being, if not a household name, at least somewhat famous in political circles. So, I am sorry if you were disappointed by the results and by anything I said or did during the campaign. We made some mistakes but I did try my best. I actually sought someone else to run. This was never about me.

This is about Medicare For All, a $15/hour living wage, climate change, peace and justice - plus a whole lot more. I lost the election but those policies remain within striking distance, and we

Letters To The Editor must remain persistent to We must put education out running for my life, and I get the victories we need.

Keep the faith because we can make miracles happen, as long as we do not give up. I am inspired by Professor Stephen Hawking, who said, “As long as there is life, there is hope” and also, “It matters that you don’t just give up.”

So I will persist, and keep struggling to advance the progressive movement to really make this great nation what it once was: The home of a large and growing prosperous middle class where almost everyone had enough to get real enjoyment from life and ordinary people had control over their society. It is no secret how that may be done.

We must stop obsessing every time Donald Trump issues a tweet or utters something stupid. We must behave as adults who will not be distracted any longer because there are serious matters to which we must attend. We must reunite families broken at our borders, bring peace to the world instead of war, and disarm those in our own country that have no business carr ying f irearms.

front, keep people ahead of profits and never relent on using common sense or holding ourselves to high standards.

We must bring justice and peace to our brothers and sisters, here and all over the world. We must pursue safe, clean energy to power the reconstruction of our infrastructure and the voyages that will take us to the stars. We must protect our children by insuring they have a planet that can sustain life, that they need not fear other people or confront disease we cannot contain.

These and so many other urgent matters demand our attention, we cannot allow ourselves to be distracted.

We cannot be satisfied with the idea that solutions are beyond our ability. We cannot be afraid of sharing an amazing vision. President Kennedy’s 1963 address to American University graduates is a reminder of how much our political discourse has devolved: “Our problems are manmade - therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants.

No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man’s reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable - and we believe they can do it again.”

I believe that with every fiber in my being. I believed an ordinary person could win an election with almost no money, if she appealed to progressive voters with a message of hope and we almost succeeded. Talk of big ideas and grand solutions may be considered the kiss of death for politicians, but I am not concerned with politics for my sake. I was

will keep going as long as there is breath in me.

To the critics, I welcome your advice and will gladly let you do what you can do better if it gets us what we want. To the opposition, I invite you to join us because there are many things we have in common and the best way to vanquish an enemy is by making him a friend. To everyone who believed in, helped and supported me, I am still here.

We must go forward and I hope you stay with me, because I could never have gotten this far without you.

I want to thank you for your generosity, the love and the honesty that you gave me.

We have much more to do and as I said, I cannot do it alone.

Congress Failing To Provide Health Care As a senior American who lives and continues to pay taxes, it is difficult to put into words the incomprehensible deterioration this administration contributes to human hardship of our nation’s people.

Congress in the last 700 d ays has systemat ically worked and achieved, eliminating any hope one may wish for a new generation to contribute to this country’s greatness. As I write this I am surrounded literally by young families suffering and struggling to provide life saving health care to their children. They do not have time on their side as they seek treatment for a multitude of different life threatening childhood

diseases. The costs for treatments is extraordinary. The government web sights are now “dark” and they can no longer look toward the help from my tax dollars to lighten those financial burdens. They will lose their homes. What is wrong with our elected officials? Have they no mercy? Our representatives are in Washington to serve me and those families?

They have created a country of GoFundMe pages, spaghetti dinners and bike runs. What has the Cong ress done? They have systematically taken away decency, civility and prosperit y. Washington has perverted the Constitution and its founders’ fundament al pr i nciples. T he purpose of having elected officials seated in their position is to legislate and govern the land and lead our nation to greatness.

This 115th session alone has failed us. So here is my direction for the next 100 days....

Protect the investigation.

Do not select a Supreme Cou r t Ju st ice. Restore CHIP funding to Americans. Fund SNAP benefits to all citizens.

Jeanine Feaman Toms River

Debunking A Political Ad In a recent fundraising ad, Congressman MacArthur claims “Our opponent, Andy Kim, does not pay property taxes in New Jersey.”

GASP, looks like the secret’s out. To avoid paying property taxes in NJ, just rent!! Who knew?

It saddens me that my

ele c t e d r e p r e s e nt at ive doesn’t understand that ever yone, even renters, pay proper t y taxes. As most people who have rented know, included in your rental fee is the cost that the landlord pays in property tax. According to the State of NJ Department of Treasury website “For tenants, 18% of rent paid during the year is considered property taxes paid.”

I’m unsure how someone in his position could fail to be aware of this.

Sadder still is the implication that somehow renters aren’t good enough to hold elected of f ice.

D o e s To m M a cA r t hu r think renters are lesser citizens than those who own property? Does he k now that over 70% of millennials currently rent rather than own? According to a CNBC ar ticle, Baby Boomers are one of t he fa stest g row i ng g roups of renters. A re these folks lesser citizens because they don’t “own” the home they live in? In a quick search, it appears that almost 20 percent of NJ residents are renters. In fact, most people I know have rented a property at some point in their lives.

From c ol lege st ude nt s living on or off campus, young people setting out on their own, people who don’t wa nt t he cost of home ownership, or retirees looking to downsize and simplif y their lives, renters are a vital and necessary part of our community. Apparently, Congressman MacArthur is out of touch with how many of the people in his district live.

Four New Jersey Students Receive Scholarships From New Jersey Utilities Association TRENTON –The New Jersey Utilities Association (NJUA) has identified four deserving New Jersey high school students as the 2018 recipients of the Association’s James R. Leva Scholarship, Excellence in Diversity Scholarship and Trade and Vocational School Scholarship awards.

“We congratulate this year’s NJUA scholarship recipients,” said Jim Fakult, chairman of NJUA’s Board of Directors and president of Jersey Central Power & Light. “These remarkable students have an inspiring record of academic and personal achievement, and their drive and dedication to their studies is commendable. We’re pleased to help this future generation of leaders pursue their dreams.”

The James R. Leva Scholarship Award is awarded to assist one NJUA member company employee who is employed in New Jersey or a member of their family in pursuing their higher education goals at a New Jersey junior college, college or university.

The scholarship is named in honor of James R. Leva, a former Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) executive and NJUA President from 1990-1991. Leva’s professional achievements serve as a model for those who seek to advance themselves professionally through continuing education.

A one-time award of $4,000 was given to: Kelsi Michele Sanfilippo-Crennan, daughter of Kevin Michael Crennan, an HVAC service technician with NJR Home Services, of Brick, NJ. The Excellence in Diversity Scholarship Award is awarded to two students who are minority, female or have a disability and are pursuing a bachelor’s degree at an accredited college or university in New Jersey.

The scholarship award is valued at $1,500 per academic year per recipient, and was awarded to: Noor Abdelaziz of Toms River, NJ Christine Yuan of Harrison, NJ The Trade and Vocational School Scholarship is awarded to qualified students who will be pursuing a trade or vocational degree at an accredited school in New Jersey. This year’s scholarship, valued at up to a total of $6,000 depending on the total cost of the vocational program, was given to: Steve Clement of Haddon Township, NJ “New Jersey’s investor-owned utility industry understands the value of higher education,” said Andrew Hendry, NJUA president and CEO. “Through the generosity of NJUA member and associate member companies, we are able to support our state’s future workforce by providing fi nancial assistance to some of the

Recipients of NJUA’s 2018 scholarships awards were chosen from among 150 applicants. NJUA’s scholarship review committee selected this year’s scholarship winners based upon a number of criteria, including each student’s high level of academic excellence.

Funding for NJUA’s scholarship awards is made possible through financial support

by NJUA’s member companies. NJUA scholarship applications for 2019 will be made available on NJUA’s website in January.

The Young Dubliners TOMS RIVER – Join The Grunin Center for the Arts on September 29 for The Young Dubliners, 8-10 p.m.

The Young Dubliners are quite possibly Celtic rock’s hardest working band, playing hundreds of shows to thousands of fans across the US and Europe every year. In recent years they have appeared

on Good Morning America and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, had songs featured in TV shows (Sons Of Anarchy, Human Target) and toured extensively as a headliner and as the opener for a diverse list of artists, such as Collective Soul, Jethro Tull, Johnny Lang, Los Lobos, and many more.

Although the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called ‘Celtic Rock,’ that label, as labels often are, is misleading.

The Irish influence is there, certainly, but it’s not the only influence that rears its head on their albums or in live shows.

After all, several of the band members have no Irish roots of any kind.

We’re here to help you. Sneezing and congestion may be the most obvious symptoms of seasonal allergies, but these annual annoyances can also cause lasting damage to your hearing. If you experience seasonal allergies, you’re no doubt familiar with the itching, sneezing and congestion that grows with the new flowers each spring. These are the typical symptoms of a seasonal allergic reaction, but there’s one symptom that you may not be aware of, hearing loss. Less common than other allergy symptoms and often mild, this kind of hearing loss is frequently overshadowed by other debilitating effects like sneezing and itchy eyes. Fortunately, most forms of allergy-related hearing loss are the result of congestion. The eustachian tubes – small vents in the back of the throat that regulate air pressure in the middle ear – can become clogged by mucus or swelling as easily as the sinuses or nasal cavity, producing a feeling of fullness in the ear and causing speech to sound distant or muffled. Once the congestion dissipates, the eustachian tubes usually clear and hearing returns to normal. On rare occasions, though, the

eustachian tubes don’t clear, which can result in a burst eardrum. This happens when fluid gathers in the middle ear. If too much fluid or air builds up too quickly with no drain available, the pressure can cause a rupture. This can result in significant hearing damage, but fortunately, with a bit of vigilance, you can protect your hearing throughout the year. If you experience any of the following symptoms during allergy season, contact us immediately.

1. A sudden change in your hearing abilities 2. Voices sounding muffled or muddied 3. Feeling like you need to “pop” your ears, or that your ears are “full” 4. Dizziness or vertigo 5. Nagging pain within the ear, especially if it is prolonged or seems to be getting worse with time 6. Fluid discharge from the ear While medications are available to reduce the risk of infection and alleviate congestion, and surgical intervention can be prescribed for severe cases, the key to protecting your hearing is detecting potential problems as early as possible.

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!

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

Mangoes Are Magnificent Unless You Are Allergic

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Mangoes are one of the most popular fruits around the world. The first thing I want you to know is that the peel of the fruit is a common cause for dermatitis for some of you. It contains the same compound found in poison ivy, oak and sumac which is called urushiol which the plant uses as its own defense mechanism.

Mango fruit contain many different antioxidants, some of which you might recognize like Vitamin A, Vitamin C, copper, potassium and magnesium. Eating it regularly could provide some protection against a wide range of physiological disorders, infection and pain. Here are some things that mangoes can do to improve your health: 1. Reduce Blood Sugar: Researchers fed mice some freeze-dried mango meal, and gave the other half of the mice a medication for diabetes called Rosiglitazone (Avandia). The mangoes worked as well at reducing blood sugar as the prescription drug!

2. Reduce Pain and Inflammation: Like most other fruits, mango contains a class of compounds called polyphenols. These are known to be hugely beneficial, particularly for their anti-inflammatory properties.

When you reduce inflammation, you naturally reduce pain too.

3. Relieve Constipation: Eating more fiber can make a big difference, and mangoes (like all fruits and vegetables) gives you a jump start on that by providing a lot of natural fiber. But it stands apart from other

fruits due to the way mangiferin and other compounds that reduce intestinal inflammation. A recent study showed that eating one mango each day improved constipation symptoms much more than taking an equivalent amount of dietary fiber.

4. Protect Your GI Tract: Tons of research has focused on the gut microbiome (the mix of bacteria in the gut) in the past few years. We know that probiotics can have a positive influence, but who thinks of mangoes?! The research I read shows that mice fed a diet rich in mango showed dramatic alterations in their gut bacteria.

It helps to normalize your gut flora.

5. Protects Your Brain: Mango leaf extract has even been shown to protect the brain. In mice exposed to cadmium, a toxic heavy metal that causes serious brain damage, mango leaf extract was shown to protect the brain.

If you’re not allergic to mangoes, add them to your salads and smoothies. Please be sure one hundred percent sure you are not allergic to this delicious fruit, because again, the skin/peel, stem and leaves impart urushiol, which is also found in poison ivy. It doesn’t impact everyone, in fact I’m not allergic at all the mangoes, but for some, the reaction can cause your lips and tongue, or the skin around your lips and chin to itch and burn. It can cause fullon anaphylaxis! So I just want you to be warned mangoes like many tropical fruits can cause a problem, and sometimes it’s a new onset allergy. If you’re not sensitive, enjoy them as often as you can.

–Photo by Bob Vosseller A bulldozer sits on a makeshift jetty off 9th Avenue Ortley Beach where a sand restoration project is in process.

By Bob Vosseller ORTLEY BEACH – Residents and visitors to the Ortley Beach section of Toms River Township may have been surprised if not shocked to see that the oceanfront landscape of 7th, 8th and 9th avenues had been completely transformed thanks to ongoing beach replenishment work.

Children and adults were enjoying the new sights during the day and early evening of Aug. 1 which featured a wide pond of water which filled a trench. The nearly block long trench served as an aquatic barrier to cross before you reached the ocean itself.

As you walked the 9th Avenue surf past the lifeguard station based on the boardwalk, you crossed into the actual work site where a bulldozer was poised at an odd angle on an artificial jetty.

If you looked further inland you could spot a temporary orange fence which featured a small sign that states “Danger: construction site unauthorized persons keep out.”

Were you oblivious to the fence, and thus the sign, and simply walking the surf, you would see a larger pond and a mini peninsula. If you remained there to long you’d hear a loud horn.

The horn was sounded off by either a workman or a security officer wearing a blue shirt and orange vest. That was meant to get your attention that you had crossed into the unauthorized zone and to exit.

An elderly couple using metal detectors to scour the beach for treasures seemed intrigued but not deterred to keep on with their treasure hunting.

They did take a closer look at the fence to examine the sign as they looked at the work site which featured sand formations of various elevations.

A pair of young children were delighted with the pond that they got to splash around in and their parents found the new formations an interesting geological oddity.

The new landscape won’t last forever, but for now, it has made for interesting viewing and an extra attraction for badge holders and those that explore it after beach hours end at 5 pm.

It is part of an Army Corps of Engineers project to replenish the beaches from the Manasquan Inlet to the Barnegat Inlet. They’ve been in several shore towns already, and now it’s Ortley’s turn. For up-to-date information on the project, visit nap.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/ Manasquan-Inlet-to-Barnegat-Inlet/.

A SELECTIVE APPROACH TO GLAUCOMA

With the most common form of glaucoma (“open-angle”), eye fluid known as “aqueous humor” has difficulty draining through a structure known as the “trabecular meshwork.” As a result, pressure within the eye builds and threatens to damage the optic nerve. To treat this problem, the mild treatment known as “selective laser trabeculoplasty” (SLT) may be performed. This outpatient procedure involves focusing a laser on the drainage tissue, thereby initiating a chemical and biological change in the tissue that results in better drainage of fluid. Over a period of several weeks, this response promotes improved fluid flow from the eye, resulting in lower intraocular pressure.

The effect, which can last anywhere from one to five years, varies from patient to patient.

SLT is different from LASIK treatment in that it is not used to improve vision or to reduce the need for glasses. It can, however, help save eye sight which might otherwise be lost. It is preventive rather than restorative. 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.

Specialized care for the memory impaired from your home to our home Safe & comfortable care • 24-Hour supervision • Private bedrooms Safe & secure grounds • Activities 7 days a week

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, along with Freehold Joseph Vicari, are urging residents and visitors to exercise water safety when enjoying the outdoors in Ocean County, be it at the beach, the bay, rivers, lakes, or backyard. For the body, it’s important to stay hydrated, especially as the heat continues to grip the region. For safety, it’s important to be aware of dangers water may pose. ““As much fun as we can have enjoying our beaches and water activities, it is important to watch out for mother nature. You want to look out for signs warning that the water you swim in is not clean, as polluted water can make you sick. Teach your kids not to swallow water anytime. You also want to make sure you keep clear of objects in the water like water plants and animals. If you see them, go the other way. We have all heard of the stinging jellyfish, which you want to beware of,” Ocean County Health Department Public

Health Coordinator Daniel E. Regenye said.

Regenye offered these tips: • Do learn to swim.

• Do take a friend along when swimming or boating, you never know when you may need help.

• Do know your limits – watch out for the “toos” – too tired, too cold, too far from safety, too much sun, too much activity.

• Do swim where a lifeguard is present and follow all signs and warnings.

• Do wear a life jacket when boating.

• Do stay alert to the currents. If caught in a current, don’t fight it. Swim parallel to the shore until you have passed through it.

• Do keep an eye on the weather. Summer storms pop up quickly.

• Don’t mess around in the water.

• Don’t dive into shallow water. If you don’t know how deep the water is, don’t dive.

Rabbi William Gershon Joins Congregation B’nai Israel Of Toms River

TOMS RIVER – Creating Jewish Memories at the Jersey Shore is the motto of Congregation B’nai Israel (CBI) of Toms River, New Jersey so it is only fitting that a Jersey Boy returns to his roots as Rabbi of this 68 year old congregation.

CBI is excited to announce the appointment of Rabbi William Gershon as Interim Rabbi and his return to the Jersey Shore in time for the High Holidays. Rabbi Gershon will join Hazzan Steven Walvick, who is in his 10th year at CBI, as they together will lead the congregation’s 240 plus member families and provide Jewish leadership to the greater Toms River Jewish Community.

By his own words upon introduction to CBI, Rabbi Gershon said “My roots come from New Jersey, where I grew up in Ocean Township (Wanamassa) and my family were members of Temple Beth Torah with Rabbi Jacob Friedman z”l. Many members of my extended family still live in the shore area, making Toms River a very appealing location for an interim rabbinic position.”

For 29 years Rabbi Gershon has served pulpits as congregational rabbi in Michigan, Minneapolis and most recently Dallas, at one of the Conservative movement’s flagship congregations.

In the words of Philip Brilliant, President of CBI, “Rabbi Gershon is a rabbi’s rabbi in the world of rabbi’s! I knew the minute I was introduced to him that CBI and Rabbi Gershon met at this time because, as my mother always said, ‘it was meant to be.’ Rabbi Gershon was our destiny.”

Most of Rabbi Gershon’s career has been devoted to education and engagement with a long track record of creating innovative educational models and programs that address the needs and spiritual yearnings of a wide range of ages.

He has built his career on cultivating deep, meaningful and long-lasting relationships, creating and sharing powerful and intimate spiritual moments and going beyond the walls of the synagogue to engage Jews wherever they may be geographically, emotionally and spiritually.

“My style of leadership is one of collaboration and team building with an emphasis on maximizing compelling Jewish experiences, meaningful learning and spiritual growth in both traditional and non-traditional settings,” said Rabbi Gershon.

Rabbi Gershon is a past President of the Rabbinical Assembly, the international organization of Conservative/Masorti Rabbis and continues to serve on its Executive Council.

Rabbi Gershon has served on the Boards of Directors or Advisory Leadership Committees of many major Jewish organizations including National Council of AIPAC, The Jewish Theological Seminary, Council of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations. He has been honored in the past by the State of Israel Bonds with The Israel Freedom Award, the UJA Rabbinic Cabinet with the Rabbinic Leadership Award and been awarded the Solomon Schechter Award in Family Education. Rabbi Gershon is a graduate of the Joint Program of Columbia University and The Jewish Theological Seminary, where he graduated with honors. He also earned a Masters of Arts in Jewish Studies and received his Rabbinic Ordination and most recently an Honorary Doctorate from JTS. Rabbi Gershon will arrive at CBI on August 27, however he is already working with Hazzan Walvick, the staff and Board of CBI to plan for the coming year. “With the arrival of Rabbi Gershon the congregation is poised for an inspirational beginning to the New Year and a bright future.”

Boat Owners Needed To Support Military Families BARNEGAT BAY – Local boat owners who live on or near the Barnegat Bay are needed to provide a fun day on the water for enlisted military families who are stationed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

“Military Family Appreciation Day” is a project developed by Tony Ferrullo of Chadwick Beach and supported by Harry Dews of Lavallette to match military families with host boat owners for a single day of water activities from June 15 to August 30, 2017.

The volunteer boat owners will provide the families with a completely free day on the Barnegat Bay of boating, tubing, swim-

ming, crabbing or any other water related activities the host boat owner can provide.

In addition, the host will provide an end of the day BBQ outing for the family.

The project is supported by the USO and will coordinate the registering of the military families at the Joint Base.

Eligible boat owners must live on or near Barnegat Bay, have a boat 20 ft. or larger, have boat liability insurance, a current boating license and US Coast Guard approved safety equipment aboard their craft.

To submit an online application form or get additional information, please visit the website MilitaryFamilyAppreciationDay.com.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): You won’t need extra vitamins to forge ahead in the week to come.

You might catch the eye of someone who shares fresh and stimulating ideas. Watch your bank account as there could be a mistake or error.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You believe the best of everyone but may believe in the impossible. An inclination to give chase to ephemeral dreams needs to be curbed in the week ahead. Be aware that some promises won’t be kept.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Someone’s optimistic. Glass-half-full view of the world leaves you begging to find an artesian well of never-ending bliss to call your own. You may be distracted by something of doubtful value as this week unfolds.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Those in close connection might be focused and determined to succeed while you prefer to taste for the finer things in life. A subtle shift of opinion occurs this week, which you can use to positively influence results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may go to extremes to attain your dreams. Since your confidence is soaring in the week ahead you may spend your money freely. To keep the peace at any cost you might choose to be less competitive and lose out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might be more concerned with being attractive and liked than making an impression in the business world.

Your loved one may be more romantic than usual and full of fun in the upcoming week.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Go for your goals. You may be stimulated by a desire for financial success so perform superlative work in the week ahead. You could put too much energy into pursuing extravagant and unnecessary expenditures.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Embrace inspiration. You can solidify your hopes and dreams because you are filled with creative imagination.

Boy meets girl chemistry can create an unbreakable alloy or a supportive ally in the week ahead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Write down your ideas so they will be on hand when needed in the future. People who have fought long and hard to achieve a position of prominence might offer you words of wisdom in the week ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Inspire rather than conspire. You will impress others in the week ahead if your financial plans and strategies are transparent and aboveboard. Airing your ideas can unlock a door previously closed to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are flirtatious and friendly this week, so someone may think you are serious about having a relationship.

Don’t follow through on a passing fancy unless you are willing to give it your undivided attention.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are in danger of being too easy-going so that you lose ground in a business matter or on the job.

Being cooperative might get you in the door, but you must focus on upgrading your own future happiness, too.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Summer Pizza Party: Showcase The Heirloom Tomato Harvest On A Grilled Pizza

By Wolfgang Puck

GRILLED HEIRLOOM TOMATO PIZZAS WITH PESTO Makes 4 pizzas, each 8 inches (20 cm) 1 batch Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough (recipe follows), or 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) good-quality store-bought dough, divided into 4 balls Light Pesto (recipe follows) 1/2 cup (125 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra as needed 2 cups (500 mL) freshly shredded mozzarella cheese 2 cups (500 mL) freshly shredded fontina cheese 16 slices medium-sized ripe heirloom tomatoes, each slice about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 1/2 cup (125 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese Fresh basil leaves, cut crosswise into thin julienne strips, for garnish If using Wolfgang’s Pizza Dough, start preparing it at least 3 1/2 hours or up to two days ahead.

Before making the pizzas, preheat an outdoor grill for direct-heat cooking. (If the grill doesn’t have a lid, select a large domed pot lid or a baking pan for inverting over the pizzas.)

Meanwhile, prepare the pesto (see following recipe).

Stretch each dough ball, or roll it out on a lightly floured surface, to a diameter just over 8 inches (20 cm). Brush the dough on both sides with olive oil. Dampen a folded paper towel with more oil and, using long grill tongs, and lightly grease the cooking grid.

Working with as many rounds of dough as fit comfortably on the grid and under the lid, drape the dough on the grid and cover. Grill until the underside is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover and use tongs to flip the dough over.

Using a long-handled spoon or brush, quickly coat each pizza with pesto. Sprinkle with mozzarella and fontina, and distribute 4 tomato slices on top of each pizza. Immediately cover and cook until the cheese has melted and the underside is well browned, about 3 minutes longer.

With a long spatula, remove each pizza to a cutting board, sprinkle each with Parmesan, and cut into wedges. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, garnish with basil, and serve. Repeat with any remaining dough and toppings.

WOLFGANG’S PIZZA DOUGH Makes 4 balls, each about 6 ounces (185 g) 1 package active dry or fresh yeast 1 teaspoon honey 1 cup (250 mL) warm water, 105 F to 115 F (40 C to 46 C) 3 cups (750 mL) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup (60 mL) warm water.

In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the oil, yeast mixture, and remaining water, and process until the mixture forms a ball.

Turn out onto a clean work surface, and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer, until smooth and firm. Cover with a clean, damp towel, and let rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. (When ready, the dough will stretch when lightly pulled).

Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Work each by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom. Repeat four or five times.

Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll each under the palm of your hand until the smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to two days.

LIGHT PESTO Makes about 1/2 cup (125 mL) 1/2 cup (125 mL) loosely packed fresh basil leaves 2 medium garlic cloves, peeled and trimmed 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest 1 tablespoon cold water Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Put the basil, garlic, oil, zest and water in a small food processor or blender. Process until smooth. Pulse in salt and pepper to taste.
