Petition Started To Restore Toms River School Funding
By Chris Lundy T OM S R I V E R – A local resident started a Change.org petition to urge state politicians to repeal the law that will reduce state funding by a total of $70 million over the course of several years. The reduction in f u ndi ng, promulgated by Senate President Stephen Sweeney and signed into law by Gov. Phil Murphy, ties funding to enrollment. Since To m s R i v e r ’s p u b l i c school en rollment has b e e n d e cl i n i n g , t h e y would be receiving less aid. According to district records, the state aid for the most recent years has been as follows: • 2009-2010: $71,972,480 • 2010-2011: $62,185,013 • 2011-2012: $66,104,704 • 2012-2013: $67,278,259 • 2013-2014: $67,712,061

2014-2015: $68,023,721 2015-2016: $68,023,721 2016-2017: $68,342,239 2017-2018: $68,342,239 Unless things change, f ut u re f u nd i ng is expected to be: • 2018-19: $65,984,284 • 2019-20: $64,402,399 • 2020-21: $62,425,042 • 2021-22: $59,656,742 • 2022-23: $56,097,500 • 2023-24: $51,945,051 • 2024-25: $47,199,395 Accord i ng to t h is s ch e d u le , t h e a id fo r 2024-25 would be $21 m illion, or one th i rd , less than it currently is. If all of the cuts were added together, it would be a loss of $70,685,260 over the course of seven school years. The petition demands that the gover nor and state legislators return the funding and repeal the law that created the issue. (Funding - See Page 4)

–Photos by Chris Lundy Left: The main spot for tennis in town is Bey Lea Park, a lighted area with many courts. Right: There are cracks on the courts at Bey Lea Park
By Chris Lundy TOMS R I V ER - The Township Council awarded a contract to resurface the town’s tennis courts, and will be meeting with interested parties on how to make sure tennis and pickleball players all have a place to play. The council passed a resolution awarding Nickolaus
Construction Company as the lowest responsible bidder, in a price not to exceed $291,600 for resurfacing 26 tennis courts and six basketball courts. Joseph Grippaldi, the president of the Ocean Tennis Association (which also ser ves Mon mouth), expressed concern during the (Courts - See Page 4)

council meeting that the pickleball players wouldn’t have a place to play. The courts are different for the two sports. Council President Brian Kubiel, while discussing the issue with other township officials, said that the contract has to be awarded now so the work can be done before the weather gets cold. Meanwhile, Grippaldi and other interested parties can meet to discuss the exact needs of the pickleball players. The courts can be resurfaced now, and striped according to the needs of each sport. Grippaldi said he will be meeting with members of the township administration, and the school district, since school teams use the courts as well. After the meeting, Grippaldi said that his organization would like it if three of the courts at Shelter Cove would be converted permanently to pickleball courts. They are under-utilized at that spot. He wants to one day incorporate the pickleball players into the organization, and wants to make sure everyone has a place to play. The main place for tennis in town is Bey Lea Park, off Indian Head Road, near the abandoned Toys R Us building. There are many courts together. They are lit at night, and at some times in the morning, there is shade from the trees. Bey Lea is centrally located, while Shelter Cove is far for anyone living on the western end of town. Grippaldi noted that there is no way to get to the Bey Lea Park except by car. So, players would have to drive no matter where the pickleball courts wind up. Having Bey Lea courts be striped for both sports doesn’t help the pickleball players, since they won’t be playing on a regulation sized court, and the net is a
different height, he said. “They will not get used the way they are envisioning them to be used,” said Irma DeMarzo, who organizes tennis for the Senior Olympics. The members of the organization were pleased that the courts were being resurfaced, but concerned that the change was being made without consulting the people who use the courts all the time. Or, as member Bob Johnson said, “measure twice, cut once.” The project can be awarded now, and performed in the spring. Jared Tate, the township’s director of the Recreation Department, said they looked at multiple ways to address the resurfacing. One is to put up permanent nets for pickleball players. However, if this is done, then tennis players can’t use the courts. There are no plans to do that at this time. Another is to have temporary pickleball nets so that players can switch the courts depending on what sport they want to play. This is not advisable since these nets could get damaged or stolen, he said. That leaves the option to put lines in existing tennis courts for pickleball. The township still has to determine what courts would be dual striped, said Craig Ambrosio, the director of Parks, Buildings, and Grounds Department. Some pickleball players will tape and stripe tennis courts themselves, and then pick up the tape when they’re done, he said. So, they’re already being used that way. Dual striping four courts in a well-lit area is probably in the best interest of everyone, he said. It’s a similar principal to a turf field; it can be used for multiple sports. The striping can be done after the resurfacing, so there’s no need to put off the resurfacing, he said. A meeting between all interested parties is yet to be held.

Bridget Maillard, a resident who created the petition, warned that future cuts could include athletics, clubs, and of course teaching staff and paraprofessionals. “Without these vital programs available to our students, gaining acceptance to a college, the military, or the transitional
career is almost impossible. And without these social interactions, the personal development and the reinforcement of life skills will become neglected for our students, making it extremely challenging for our students to stay involved. With that, the concern over drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and vaping becomes even more paramount, especially with Ocean County’s growing opioid epidemic,” she said.

Champs: Continued From Page 1 perspective. I was obviously excited, but I don’t remember having a grip on the scope of what we accomplished.” “It was a very overwhelming feeling when we won the championship - something that I never thought was possible - especially in front of thousands of fans,” Gannon said. The team’s leader was Frazier, who went on to star for Toms River High School South, Rutgers University, the Cincinnati Reds, the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees and is now the New York Mets’ starting third baseman. Frazier was 4-for-4, including a lead-off home run, in the championship game and notched the win on the pitcher’s mound. He’s in the first season of a two-year $17 million contract with the Mets. East American was honored at the second annual MLB Little League Classic on Sunday, Aug. 19 at Bowman Field in Williamsport, Pa., site of the Mets-Philadelphia Phillies clash. “It was a fun time,” Frazier said of his Little League experiences on littleleague.org prior to the Classic. “I had a blast. It was a time in my life that I’ll never forget. I remember trading pins, sliding down the hill on cardboard and meeting all the other kids from all over the world, which was really cool and probably the highlight. It was just a tremendous two weeks. We had a great time on and off the field.” Frazier was scheduled to greet the winners of the 2018 Canon Little League Photo Contest in Williamsport prior to the game. “I can’t wait to be back,” he told the website prior to the event. “I’m going to bring my two trading books full of pins from back in the day to trade with the kids. I’m going to watch the games going on. It’s going to be an unbelievable experience.” It was an experience that began at the local level. East American won the District 18 Tournament. It followed with championships at the Section III, New Jersey and East Regional tournaments. East American lost five games before reaching the LLWS, falling in the District, section and state tournaments and twice succumbing in the East Regional Tournament. It won the United States title in Pool Play at 3-0 before capturing the world crown. The team was known as The Beast of the East. Rich Cunningham served as the club’s mascot, inciting cheers from fans while dressed in a gorilla costume. “I would say as we went farther the pressure became a little more,” Gannon said. “It was a good pressure because we had so much fun playing together that we didn’t want it to end. “I think we dealt with it by leaning on each other,” he said. “We would always make sure to pick each other up whether we had a good game or a bad game. At the end of the day, we were still kids and this exposure was new to most of us. Our coaches did a great job of making sure we didn’t forget that it was just a game and to just give it our best effort no matter what happened.” “I can honestly say that I do not remember feeling any pressure,” Cardone said. “That may sound a bit cliché or exaggerated, but I never remember any of us looking any farther than our next game. Now I’m sure we wanted to win and as it got more and more real we were not completely naive to the increased stakes. However, I never remember the team feeling any
The Toms River Times, August 25, 2018, Page 5 pressure. It obviously helps to have Scott Fisher, Casey Gaynor (whose dad was the manager) and Todd Frazier on your team, too.” The team coped with the greatness of the task as just that - a team. Consistency in routine helped the team deal with the pressure. “I would attribute our team’s coping skills to routine and relationships,” Cardone said. “We had a routine in practice. Every day was the same practice. It didn’t matter if we were practicing in Toms River or Williamsport in front of our parents or news cameras. Our relationships with each other were the other coping mechanisms that we had. “We all got along and that is a harder task than you would expect seeing as we were all the allstars from our own teams. Everyone deserved to be there, but no one expected to be bigger than the team.” Cardone said Fisher and Gaynor were key pitchers. “I believe a major part of the success of our team was the pitching of Scott Fisher and Casey Gaynor,” Cardone said. “The toughness and resilience that they showed through the summer was pretty incredible. When they were on the mound, we felt we could compete with anyone. Also, having Todd Frazier didn’t hurt.” There was plenty of team spirit. “We all got along so well,” Cardone said. “We never let ourselves get too anxious or too nervous. We made sure we lived in the moment and took it one game at a time.” “We had a combination of great coaching and talented players,” Gannon said. “We were able to mesh well as a team. The experience started out as 12 kids having fun playing ball together. We continued to win games and we wanted to keep winning to see how far we could take this team. The deeper we went into the tournament, we started to really believe we had something special.” Manager Gaynor excelled. “Mike Gaynor was a calm coach who was very calculating in his decisions,” Cardone said. “I always thought he was old school, but we did things back then that are major parts of the new school game now like batting your best hitters at the top of the lineup.” Gannon played under manager Gaynor on the local Little League team prior to being chosen to the all-star team. “I had the luxury of playing for Mr. Gaynor for three years before becoming an all-star,” Gannon said. “He was most likely the best coach I ever had. He knew exactly how to treat his players and how to get the best out of us. As competitive as he was, he never lost sight that it was all about having fun while trying to win. He would always be calm no matter what the situation was. That calmness gave us the confidence to never panic no matter what the situation was.” Gannon said the team gave winning the World Series little thought as it began play. “I don’t think it was something that was on our minds at all,” he said. “We were playing together as a team for the first time. We knew we had talented players, but winning the title was not something we set out to do from the start. As time went on, we began to realize how special of a team we had.” “I don’t think we let it creep into our minds until we actually crossed the Pennsylvania border,” Cardone said.

Protect Yourself From West Nile Virus With These Tips
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – Now up to three human cases of West Nile Virus (WNV) in New Jersey, officials of the Murphy administration are urging residents to practice caution and safeguard themselves against the mosquito-borne disease. Department of Health and Department of Environmental Protection officials remind residents that keeping the insects out of their residences and off their skin are most effective. “Residents should protect themselves by using repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants and avoiding the outdoors during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active,” said New Jersey Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal. “WNV causes mild symptoms, such as fever, headache, body aches or a rash for healthy individuals, but it can cause severe illness in the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.” Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe recommends that eliminating standing water from your property, securing win-
dow screens and using air conditioning as other good ways to protect yourself from mosquitos. Pay special attention to flower pots, birdbaths, clogged rain gutters, plastic wading pools, wheelbarrows, and trash containers, as these areas can draw mosquitos. The three cases of WNV affected elderly residents; a 74-year old Hunterdon County resident, a 76-year old Essex County resident, and an 80-year old Hudson County resident. All three were hospitalized and later discharged. Those over 50 and those with weak immune systems are more at risk to develop the more sever form of WNV. This includes added symptoms such as severe headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness and paralysis.

Partnership For A Drug-Free NJ Seeks Volunteers For Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day Initiative MILLBURN — The Partnership for a Dr ug-Free New Jersey is look ing for volunteers throughout the state to help spread awareness of the dangers of prescr iption opioids and actions that can be taken to protect families and communities from addiction as part of the third annual Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day on Saturday, Oct. 6. In 2016 — the most recent year with complete data — more than 42,000 people in the United States and 2,000 people in New Jersey lost their lives from an opioid overdose. The final death total for 2017 is expected to be even higher, and New Jersey is on pace to have more than 3,000 drug overdose deaths in 2018. Through this statewide single-day initiative, volunteers will spread the message about the potential for dependency on prescribed pain medicine and its link to heroin use rates in our state. The effort will involve a two-pronged approach: informing prescribers and raising awareness among New Jersey residents and families. More than 5,000 volunteers participated in last year’s Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day, distributing crucial information on safe prescribing practices to healthcare providers, as well door hangers with information on the link between prescribed pain medications and heroin abuse throughout communities. Each county will have volunteer coordinators who can help interested volunteers obtain materials and help them plan their outreach. Volunteers will be asked to devote the amount of time they can give, whether it’s a few hours delivering door hanger tags to homes in their community or 20 minutes during their lunch break distributing materials in their office. Anyone can volunteer: school clubs, scouts, religious groups, bu si ne s s e s. C o ord i n at or s for e a ch

Capitol Comments Senator Jim Holzapfel 10th Legislative District, Serving Toms River
TRENTON - Senator Jim Holzapfel, Assemblyman Dave Wolfe, and Assemblyman Greg McGuckin (all R-10 th ) called on the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) to investigate if massive flooding that occurred in the Greenbriar I senior community in Brick is
related to the recently completed interchange construction at Exit 91 of the Garden State Parkway. “The flooding that occurred yesterday along Burrsville Road and in Greenbriar is unlike anyt hing t he a re a ha s previously experienced, including during Sandy,”
From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur BRICK - Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd) urged FEMA Administrator Brock Long to deploy every available resource to assist the recovery efforts in the Township of Brick, New Jersey. On Monday, Aug. 13, 2018, flooding destroyed over 100
homes in a senior community. “The seniors who were blindsided by this flood on Monday are hurting and they need our help. While the damage is being assessed, I want to ensure that FEMA is doing everything possible,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur. “Additional
From The Desk Of Secretary of State
Tanesha Way TRENTON - New Jersey has finalized a spending plan utilizing $10.2 million in federal and state election security funds. The plan will fund programs into 2023 and will address critical election infrastructure, such as cybersecurity, database improvements, and election auditing. The New Jersey Department of State, through its Division of Elections, and the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, through its New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell, released the following statement regarding the continued confidence in the security of the State’s election systems: “Our citizens deserve a secure election system that fulfills their unalienable right to participate in
their government free from interference. Improving New Jersey’s current election infrastructure has been an ongoing process, which has included planned database upgrades and increased cybersecurity partnerships. But this infusion of funding can help set the foundation for what we hope can be one of the most advanced and secure election systems in the nation,” said New Jersey Secretary of State Tahesha Way. “I have had one priority since assuming leadership over the Division of Elections, which is to protect each citizen’s vote like it were my own. That is what I’ll continue to do as we take the necessary steps to upgrade our election infrastructure.” “The cybersecurity assistance that we provide to state and local
DOT Should Investigate Link Between Parkway Exit 91 Project And Local Flooding s a i d H o l z a p f e l . “ We ’ r e concerned that the recent reconfiguration of Exit 91 has impacted the area to make it susceptible to flooding. The NJDOT needs to investigate and undertake improvements if that’s the case.” More than 100 homes in and around the Greenbriar I senior community were flooded during a torrential d o w n p o u r o n M o n d a y, Aug. 13, forcing the evac-
uation of residents. “It’s a little suspicious that Greenbriar can go five decades without this kind of flooding, including during Superstorm Sandy, but it’s suddenly underwater a year after the adjacent Exit 91 project was completed,” said Wolfe. “We need to know if changes to the grading or drainage in the area led to this flooding, and we need a plan to prevent it from happening
again.” The 10th District legislators sent a letter to NJDOT Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti requesting that the Department examine whether the recently completed interchange at Exit 91 contributed to the flooding, and to develop an action plan to remedy any issues that are identified. “Residents who lived through years of disruptive
construction as Exit 91 was completed now live in fear that the next storm might flood them out of their homes again,” added McGuckin. “We need to determine if this was a freak event that’s unlikely to happen again, or if it’s a direct result of the engineering of the interchange. If there’s something we can fix, we need to find out, and we need to do it immediately.”
MacArthur Urges FEMA Assistance for Brick staff, rental assistance, and clean-up resources are critically important right now, not just in Brick, but in several areas across the State of New Jersey. In Brick particularly, the fact that most of the victims of this storm are seniors, makes the need for assistance that much more dire.” Below is the letter to Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Brock Long: Dear Administrator Long,
As you are aware, a severe rain storm struck New Jersey on Aug. 13, 2018. I am urging you to deploy all available federal resources to respond to this devastating storm to ensure a full recovery as quickly as possible. The National Weather Service reported that nearly 8 inches of rain fell in the Township of Brick on Monday, which is what the area experiences over two months, in less than three hours. Over 100 residents were forced
to evacuate and New Jersey declared a state of emergency in five counties, including Ocean County, which I represent. This is particularly harmful because this community is largely populated by senior citizens on fixed incomes, creating unique challenges for these residents to relocate. Since this community is outside of the flood zone, residents are not required to purchase flood insurance, leaving many of these seniors without
any financial support. While the immediate response by state and local emergency responders was professional and strong, the scope of this storm has created a significant burden on a community that is not accustomed to dealing with this severity of flood damage. To put it simply, our community needs federal assistance immediately and I look forward to discussing this with you directly in the very near future.
New Jersey Announces $10.2 Million In Election Security Initiatives
officials in the form of vulnerability assessments of polling places, warehouses, and ballot storage areas will continue throughout this election cycle,” said New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness Director Jared Maples. “We are working with municipal, county, and state election officials to offer services to ensure the security and integrity of the Statewide Voter Registration System. To that end, the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell will continue to provide real-time monitoring of cyber threats, tailored analysis, and share information on resilience and risk mitigation strategies.” State officials are increasing deterrence, detection, and response resources and making relevant upgrades to the State’s election systems. Of the total funding, $9.7 million was awarded to New Jersey following congressional appro-
priation and the state provided nearly half a million dollars in matching funds. Secretary Way, in consultation with Director Maples, county election officials, and other state officials, developed
the spending plan to include the following spending categories (details below): • Cybersecurity • Physical Security • Training

First Aid Squads, Friends For Life
This column is dedicated to those who volunteer, helping their communities in many ways. In particular it is dedicated to the former members of the Holiday City at Berkeley First Aid Squad, without whom there would be no free EMS. Thank you. Some of them pop into the squad to say “Hi.” We are pleased to see them. Most, we don’t get to see unless they come to a function. If you are a former member, or know one, please let the Squad know if you move, are sick, getting better or if you need a ride to one of the annual Squad functions. For a little over a year I have volunteered to call the retired members of the HCBEMS squad. I extend an invitation to them for our annual Memorial, which is the third Sunday in May. Also to the squad Christmas Party in December and picnic in July. They are always happy to hear from me and to know that their squad hasn’t forgot them. We haven’t forgotten them. They are the reason we have a volunteer EMS squad in the first place. Many of them are gone. Some live out of state with children or in nursing homes. Some of them still live in our community. Some can’t come to the functions because they are no longer able to get around by themselves. One retiree is 93 and “will try to get to the picnic if possible.” We were looking forward to see her. Some retirees have new phone numbers, which we didn’t have. They are important, so this year, I went to the addresses and found some of them. Guess what? Some of them made it to the picnic and they wouldn’t have known about it. We were so happy to see them. They were all glad to hear from us and they all said they enjoyed their time on the squad – the work and the people. Come work with us. You would too. Many of them have lost touch, and asked about old friends who worked with them. Sometimes I could give them information. Other times, I didn’t have any. Some
even came to the picnic. I hope they all had a good time. I enjoyed hearing the retired members talk about how it was when they were on the squad. I was sorry to have to tell them that is so hard to get volunteers to serve today, that we have had to cut back our hours. Some of them were on the squad when it served the community 24/7. Even when I joined the squad, almost 7 years ago, we still worked 7 days a week but only a 12-hour day shift. We did not have enough people for a day shift and a night shift. Next year it would be nice to tell them, we have more volunteers. Won’t you consider volunteering for a while? HCBEMS works from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. Your shift would only be 1 day a week. You get education, CPR certified, a uniform, and a lot of time on an ambulance, comradeship of other volunteers and the gratitude of your neighbors as well as the rest of the squad. You want some action - join HCBFAS at 100 Port Royal Drive. We are one of the busiest squads. We’d love to show around and tell you what you can do. We have interesting calls, real emergencies and even some funny calls. Come down and ask about working with us. You “want to see the world join the Navy.” We learn like kids, work like dogs, get stroked like cats, eat like the fire department and laugh like it’s on sale and we need you. All the volunteer squads need more volunteers. We cover an area that includes 1,765 homes. In a 5-day workweek, from January 1 until July 1, we have responded to over 1,000 9-1-1 calls. HC Berkeley has 3,236. HC Carefree has 1,612 homes. HC South has 2,359 homes. HC West has 1,812 homes. Silver Ridge Park East & West has 1,746. You would think we could get more than 38 volunteers. Stay Well! Volunteer if you can. Phyllis Brown Holiday City at Berkeley First Aid Squad
Church’s Child Abuse Is Business As Usual On Aug. 16, the Press published (again), another clergy sexual child abuse story. Should anyone be shocked or surprised? “Child abuse” is really a pathetic euphemism for what has been going on in the Roman Catholic Church for decades, and still is! We’re talking about the systematic rape and molesting of thousands of children by Catholic priests, and the churches’ complicity in covering up and protecting the child-rapists among us. Just this month alone, a Pennsylvania grand jury report asserted that church leaders protected hu ndreds of accused priests at the expense of more than 1,000 abuse victims. The Archdiocese of Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Spokane, San Diego, to name just a few, all have paid out millions of dollars to victims of its own church. What has been taking pla ce i n t he chu rch is not an aber ration or an anomaly, or the result of a few rogue priests as some church apologists contend. The truth is, it has been “open-season” on children in the Catholic church for centuries. As for pedophile priests and the Catholic Church that covers up and protect them, I humbly apologize for my inability to pay them both the proper disrespect they deserve! Borden Applegate Jackson
Trump Has Proven Why He Should Be Impeached Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution calls for i mpeach ment for t reason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors by the president, the vice
president and all civil officials of the United States. Observing the officials of this Executive Branch from top down sent me scurrying to my Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary looking up the word “treason.” The entry on “treason” is long so I’ll “trim and select” various elements, and occasionally insert an accusation or comment (in parentheses). “Treason” is the offense of acting to over th row one’s government (FBI, D OJ,C I A , NSA , H L S , EPA, HUD, DOE, etc). It’s a violation of allegiance to one’s sovereign (in this case the Constitution of the United States) or to one’s state (the USA). It’s the crime of giving aid or comfor t to the enemies (Putin’s Russia) of one’s government. My d ict ion a r y l i n k s “treason” and “sedition” in a nuanced manner. Both mean disloyalty or treachery toward one’s country or its government. “Sedition” is any act (disbelieving and demeani ng A mer ica n secu r it y experts), writing (tell-all tweets to friends and foes), speech (accepting the word of Vladimir Putin while rejecting all evidence, and condemning the American press) directed unlawfully against state authorit y, the government, or constitution, or calculated to bring it into contempt or to incite others to hostility, ill will or disaffection (every speech at ever y Tr ump rally). “Sedit ion” does not amount to treason and therefore is not a capital offense. Question 1: Do not both sedition and treason qualif y as high cr imes and misdemeanors? Question 2: How can an entire political party (Tr ump’s loyalists and/ or Stormtroopers) be impeached for the crimes of sedition and treason? Suggestions please! Nicholas Molinari Brick

TOMS RIVER – This summer, Christine Mooney, Director of Instructional Technology, traveled to Berlin, Germany where history came to life and she also attended the Global Leadership Summit hosted by EF (Education First). Students from around the world gathered to collaborate and ideate about “The Influence of Technology on Society” and its impact on the areas of the environment, communication, economy, culture and health and wellness. Students were assigned groups where they were introduced to students with different cultures and experiences, and sometimes even different languages. Together, they were taught and used Design Thinking, a creative problem-solving process for identifying a problem in our daily lives and developing a new solution for how technology can help to improve it. Mooney worked with a team of educators in listening to the three-minute presen-
tations of different groups where they identified the problem, and presented a prototype for a technological solution to it. There she contributed her constructive thoughts of “I like”, “I wish” and “I wonder” about the presentations in order to help the student groups before their presentations to the judges. The winning group’s presentation will be displayed at the Nobel Museum, right along other Nobel Prize winners in Stockholm, Sweden. Ms. “It was incredibly inspiring and hopeful to see the work of these teens. The power of the student groups’ empathy and teamwork and the solutions they came up with amazed me. I am so thankful I had this opportunity. As a lifelong learner, I want to incorporate some of the strategies in use at the summit and the history I saw in the vibrant mix of old and new in the city into my classes,” said Mooney.

Resolve To Hear Better: 12 Things You Don’t Want To Miss
Keeping better-hearing resolutions is easier with lighthearted encouragement, so we’re offering some whimsy on your road to stronger connections. Sweet Nothings: You spouse whispering “Sleep well, Honey” before bed, just like they have for years. Compliments: Hearing just how delicious your home cooking is or how festive your house looks this season “I Do.”: You, your child, or your grandchild beginning a life together with that special someone. Firsts: A toddler saying their first words – or, better yet, that first time a child or grandchild says, “I love you.” Reading Aloud: A child thrilling to all your imagination, expressions, enthusiasm, and silly accents. Important Information: Signals such as
“You dropped this, “Your Plane is now boarding,” or “STOP!” Music: Children’s recitals, the nuances in your favorite Beethoven symphony, a beloved album on those amazing new speakers. Jokes: Inside jokes, punch lines, the giggles of your family members (caused, or course, by your very clever quip). White Noise: The subtle crunch of snow under your feet, the rain on your bedroom window, or the light pencil taps of your spouse deep in thought. Pet Sounds: Your cat purring, your dog panting her appreciation after a long walk, your horse clip-clopping to the barn at the sound of feed being poured. Kick-start a better-hearing journey – yours or a loved one’s – this year with a complimentary hearing consultation!

Unique Ways To Reduce Dangerous Homocysteine
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Most of you understand that homocysteine is a toxin that, when elevated, increases your risk for heart attack and stroke. This is well-documented, but what is shocking is how dangerous a neurotoxin this compound is! It has been implicated as a contributing factor in neurological and psychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorder, aggression, schizophrenia, bipolar, psychosis, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. The other shocking surprise is that homocysteine can increase in your blood stream if you have mild kidney disease. Your first clue to this might be unexplained itching, or mild swelling in your feet after a shower or prolonged sitting. Excessive homocysteine can destroy your life and cause you to get diagnosed with multiple conditions that require expensive medications! If you’d like the extended article I’ve written, I’ll send it via email if you sign up for my free newsletter. Now, here are some ways to reduce homocysteine: Minimize Meat: Methionine is the primary building block for homocysteine, so one quick way to reduce the formation of homocysteine, is to cut back on red meat which is high in methionine. Just think of it as “meat-thionine” and reduce intake for a few weeks. B Complex Vitamins: These include B6, B12 and B9 (methyl folate). This is what’s needed to break down homocysteine. It works for some people, but it triggers other people causing them to over-methylate. It’s not my favorite approach because it’s very hard to find the perfect ratios of each B vitamin (which is
different for everyone). I prefer throwing a “wet blanket” on top of the fire so continue reading. Bifidobacterium: Intestinal flora that has healthy amounts of Bifidobacterium longum can help reduce homocysteine. It works because the probiotic goes on to produce folate in the gut, and folate is needed to break down the homocysteine. Prunes: In last year’s issue of Food and Chemical Toxicology, researchers noted that homocysteine responded to antioxidant compounds found in prune extract. Granted, this was not a human study, but still the prune extract was given by injection and it significantly decreased homocysteine levels. We can joke about it all day long, but you need to know that the prunes have a beneficial effect on homocysteine. Pomegranate Powder: Brand new research in Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy was published in June 2018 and showed how “punicalagin” from pomegranates can protect neuronal DNA in the brain of rodents with high homocysteine. Drinking pomegranate juice might help humans, it’s certainly not going to hurt. Even better, you can buy a concentrated pomegranate powder in a bag, and just mix some in water each day. Catalase: High homocysteine is associated with a reduction in catalase enzyme activity all over the body. So if your homocysteine is high, your peroxide is too. Catalase is the liver enzyme humans make and it’s required to break down peroxide and turn it into water and oxygen. There are supplements of Catalase available online.

Teen Hit By Car Has A Long Road Ahead To Recovery
By Jason Allentoff POINT PLEASANT BOROUGH – It’s been 12 days of intensive care and medical treatments for a 14-year-old girl who was hit by a speeding car in Point Pleasant while she was out riding a bicycle with her friends. Although Emma-Mae is making progress, she has a long road ahead for recovery. Stephanie Gnolfo, Emma-Mae’s mother, tells Jersey Shore Online that her daughter has been transferred to another hospital which specializes in brain traumas. She had been at Jersey Shore University Medical Center ever since the August 9th accident on Route 88 but was transferred to a new medical center over the weekend. Gnolfo said “Emma-Mae is having severe migraines due to the concussion as well as the bleed on the brain and fractured skull. But she is the strongest kid I know and one hell of a fighter.” A GoFundMe page started by Kristen Cutrona of Toms River has raised a total of $25,876 so far. The goal was originally set at $10,000 but due to the additional medical expenses for the extensive treatments, it is now set at $50,000. The Point Pleasant Chamber of Commerce has announced they will have a special fundraiser for Emma-Mae on August 25th during the Point Pleasant Give Back Day. Gnolfo adds “I am forever grateful for all of the well wishes and prayers. It means so much to us.” Emma and two friends were riding their bicycles at 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 9th when they attempted to cross Route 88 at Sunset Avenue. They looked all ways, and believing it was clear, the two friends started to cross. However, Emma was hit by what was described as a dark sedan. Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Al Della Fave said “the teen was thrown onto the windshield over the hood, where she was carried on the car for a time before being thrown off.” Della Fave adds “the vehicle’s driver callously continued driving after the impact, carrying the victim on the vehicle hood for a distance before she was thrown free of the vehicle.” 26-year-old Brittany Keifer was arrested later that night on charges of assault by auto and leaving the scene of an accident that caused serious bodily injury. Officers found her car, which suffered extensive front end damage,
hidden under a tarp outside of her home. Due to changes in bail reform laws, Keifer was released on a summons. This didn’t sit well with many on Facebook who voiced their displeasure with her release. According to sources Jersey Shore Online cannot disclose, Keifer has a lawyer working on her case and all attempts to reach out for a comment have turned up dry. Emma, an accomplished cheerleader, is supposed to start Point Pleasant Boro High School as a freshman this September. Her mother says “Emma’s ultimate goal is to get better and get out of the hospital. She hopes to start her journey of high school and hopes to be able to cheer again. For now, we need to concentrate on getting her better so we can try and make those things possible.” Emma’s mother, who is a single mom, said “that phone call is the worst call any parent can ever get. Today, for the first time, I was able to finally bring myself to look at the GoFundMe page. I am just so overwhelmed by the love and support we have had. Also, how the community has come together tremendously to help a little girl that they didn’t even know. It just fills my heart knowing how loved Emma is and it means so much to us. There are no words for me to even come close to expressing my gratitude.” Jennifer Peacock Contributed To This Report

Don’t Get Scammed On Home Improvement, Call Consumer Affairs
By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Was your home damaged by the recent flooding? Maybe you’re simply looking into some home improvement projects? If either is the case, Ocean County officials urge you to reach out to the Department of Consumer Affairs first, before signing any contracts with contractors. “Residents recently affected by the flooding from unprecedented amounts of rain that damaged homes should reach out to our Consumer Affairs Department before signing any contracts with home improvement contractors,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, Chairman of the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs. “While natural disasters like storms and hurricanes bring out the best in people they also attract the most unscrupulous con artists and frauds. Unfortunately we saw that following Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc on the Jersey Shore, but it also brought about numerous incidents of fraudulent home repair contractors. Officials are reminding residents to check with the Department of Consumer Affairs first, to make sure any work you have done is legitimate. “Ocean County Consumer Affairs is here to help with information and helpful tips to walk you through the process of hiring a legitimate contractor,” Vicari said. “It is our job to keep
our residents safe from fly-by-night unregistered home improvement contractors that may take your money and disappear, leaving unfinished work and unsafe homes.” Some steps to follow to protect yourself from these scams: • Call the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs to check that the contractor is registered with the state before hiring someone. • Check for complaints filed against a potential contractor. • Get a copy of the contractor’s liability insurance policy and make sure it is still valid. • Don’t sign anything unless you understand and agree to all of the terms and conditions, including the fine print. • Carefully review the list of materials that will be used. • Never pay the full price up-front. • Always pay with a check, never with cash. This is nothing new to the Department of Consumer Affairs. Complaints against home improvement contractors rank number one in this department annually, according to Vicari. “It may take a little extra time but it’s imperative to do your homework prior to signing a contract,” he said. The Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs is located at 1027 Hooper Ave., Building #2, 732-929-2105.

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Soroptimist International of the Central Jersey Coast (SICJC) is partnering with local nonprofit, The HOPE Center, to provide much needed hygiene products to local girls and women throughout the following year. These two organizations will be putting together bags of grooming and feminine hygiene products for local girls in “immediate crisis,” according to Deborah Weingroff of Soroptimist International. “Our objective is to lessen the amount of time missed from work and/or school by women, most likely heads of households, and school-aged girls due to the unavailability of these products,” said Weingroff. The local Central Jersey Cost chapter of
Soroptimist International of the Americas has received a $2,000 grant for this project. “Our organization was among the 23 SI groups across the United States to receive this grant,” Weingroff added. While this is only the first phase of the project, SICJC and The HOPE Center hope to successfully foster “dignity and hope for women and girls experiencing difficult times” with these items. “The first step in empowering women and young girls is building self- esteem and offering encouragement to strive to be better,” said Weingroff. Soroptimist International of the Central Jersey Coast and The HOPE Center are 501c3 organizations.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Counsel Fees
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, III Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates
The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved one’s passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a dispute arises, it is important to understand how legal fees could impact the assets of the Estate. Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed and the Will is challenged, the Executor may use Estate assets to defend the challenge as long as the contesting party challenges the Will’s validity, interpretation, distribution, or a specific clause. The estate assets may be used to hire an attorney to defend the challenge of the Will. Legal fees incurred in defending the challenged Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution are not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, the legal fees are payable from the Estate. However, when an Executor has to defend claims against non-probate assets, then the circumstances change and certain limitations apply. Probate assets consist of any asset that is owned solely by the decedent and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets may include real property that is titled solely in the decedent’s name or held as a tenant in common; Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles; bank accounts that are solely in the decedent’s name; an interest in a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company; any life insurance policy or brokerage account that lists either the decedent or the estate as the beneficiary. A non-probate asset is as an asset
which does not “pass” through the decedent’s Estate, and bypasses the court process by transferring directly to the beneficiaries. Non-probate assets include property that is held in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety; bank or brokerage accounts held in joint tenancy or with payable on death (POD) or transfer on death (TOD) beneficiaries; property held in a trust; life insurance or brokerage accounts that list someone other than the decedent as the beneficiary; retirement accounts. If a party to a Will challenges the transfer of a non-probate asset, an Executor may be forbidden from utilizing Estate assets to defend against such a claim. When a transfer of non-probate assets benefits the Executor of the Estate to the exclusion of other beneficiaries, then the Executor will not be allowed to use the Estates assets to pay legal fees in defense of such a dispute. Should an Executor use the assets of the Estate to make such payments, then these assets may be payable back to the Estate by the Executor. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

Gannon and Cardone enjoyed competing in the World Series. “Every team that played in it was already a champion in their own right,” Gannon said. “Each team was treated to the best experience possible.” “Little League Baseball and the people with the (Little League World Series) treated us wonderfully throughout the entire experience,” Cardone said. “It was all of our first experience with being in such high demand and I don’t remember once feeling overwhelmed by the attention. Our ‘uncles’ (chaperones) and coaches did a wonderful job of insulating us from all of the media hype that was building.” Cardone thoroughly enjoyed the Little League experience. “I can say I have nothing but fond memories about the Little League experience,” he said. “No matter what was happening off the field, playing baseball was my favorite thing to do back then. What Little League did was give us the opportunity to play competitively against some truly amazing talent from around the world, some of which I can say to this day was from our own town and state. Little League provided me with memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.” Celebrity status engulfed East American after it won the LLWS. There was a visit to the White House where they met Vice President Al Gore. The team was honored at Yankee Stadium. Cardone was a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman. Other politicians showered the club with praise and honors. “I’m not sure I could pick one thing over the other, but I would have to selfishly say my biggest thrill was my ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ appearance,” Cardone said. “It’s just not something that many people can say they did.” “I would have to say it’s a toss-up between going to Yankee Stadium and meeting the players, being able to go on the field during the national anthem and getting a chance to visit the White House,” Gannon said. “They are two things many people never get a chance to do.” Still residing in Toms River, Gannon has found the team’s memory lives. “I always get the same reaction when I tell people where I live,” he said. “I think it’s awesome that people still remember our team and it’s cool to have a story to go along with it. Besides getting married and having kids, this was probably the most amazing thing to ever happen in my life. The 12 of us have a special bond that we will have
with us for the rest of our lives. Making it to Williamsport is hard enough and we were fortunate to take advantage of the opportunity and bring a world title back to Toms River.” “I honestly don’t think about it too often,” Cardone said. “I am reminded about it by coworkers and friends. However, it is not something I usually reflect upon. I am very fortunate to have so many more blessings in my life like my wife and children. I still live in Toms River and enjoy being close to my family and friends.” Cardone and his wife, Kaelin, are the parents of two children Robinson, who is three, and Chloe, who turned two in June. Cardone is employed by the United States Navy and Department of Defense as the lead mechanical design and installation engineer on a shipboard aviation data management and control network that handles launch and recovery data on aircraft carriers. Cardone said he has benefited off the field from his Little League experience. “It has helped me tremendously in life by not only providing me with lifelong friendships and memories but by also providing me with confidence in myself,” he said. “Little League has taught me that certain trials in life are worth the effort. I have learned to find the fun in the day-to-day because that is all we are guaranteed. “As silly as it sounds to say in an interview about winning a world championship, winning is not the point of all of this. Getting better every day and learning to be a better person or baseball player is the real skill because the only people who lose are the people who stop improving.” A police officer with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Gannon and his wife, Kristen, are the parents of three-year-old Skylar and four-month-old Tripp Gannon. “This experience has given me the confidence to be able to accomplish anything I put my mind to,” Gannon said. “I also know that nothing is given to you and that you have to earn everything in life. I also know that what we accomplished was extremely hard and that more people fail at it than achieve it. You have to keep that in the back of your mind. You may fail from time to time, but you must learn from that experience and try again until you succeed. “I just feel fortunate to be a part of such a special team. I gained memories that will live with me forever. I am very happy to be able to share this experience with my wife and kids.” Gardner, a sales manager for a Denver area convenience store company, said on littleleague. org, “The team has always meant a lot to me. We shared a life experience that few in this world will ever have a chance to understand.”

DEA Establishes New Monmouth/Ocean Task Force
By Jennifer Peacock NEW JERSEY – The opioid epidemic is so bad locally that Monmouth and Ocean counties will have a “Post of Duty” task force run by the Drug Enforcement Administration New Jersey Division. The increase of heroin and prescription opioid threats to these counties led to the creation of this new DEA office, according to a press release. The DEA will work with other area agencies in enforcement operations, intelligence sharing, community outreach, as well as prevention measures. “The creation of this new office means the permanent assignment of DEA special agents and task force officers. The office will aim to disrupt the trafficking of nar-
cotics throughout Monmouth and Ocean County,” DEA Special Agent Valerie A. Nickerson said. “It will also allow for the increased use of federal resources to combat the current heroin, fentanyl and prescription painkiller epidemic that has taken a toll on the area resulting in an unprecedented number of drug overdose fatalities.” There was no word on where this office’s physical location would be. Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni, Senator Cory Booker, Rep. Tom MacArthur, and NY/ NJ HIDTA Executive Director Chauncey Parker helped bring this office to the region.

Little Shop Of Horrors
TOMS RIVER – Come see Little Shop of Horrors at Exit 82 Studio Theater on October 12-28. A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop Of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatre goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world. The meek floral assistant Seymour Krel-
born stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it blood. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out of this world origins and intent towards global domination! Little Shop of Horrors was one of the longest running Off-Broadway productions, and for good reason! You will be sure to enjoy this tongue and check musical.

The “eye socket,” the bony cup surrounding the eye, contains the eye, the muscles that move it, tear glands, cranial nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, and other nerves. Not only can a strong blow to the eye fracture any (or all) of the seven bones that compose the eye socket, but an estimated 28 percent of people with eye socket fractures also have injuries that affect vision. Parents and coaches of children and teenagers, therefore, should stress the importance of wearing protective eyewear. Without it, young athletes and active children are susceptible to eye-socket fractures and related eyelid swelling/drooping, bleeding in the white of the eye, double vision, blurred vision, difficulty seeing, light sensitivity, and a sunken or bulging eye. If you suffer a blow to your eye, apply cold packs to the injured area for at least 15 minutes to help reduce pain, swelling and discoloration. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of symptoms of an eye socket fracture. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call 732-349-5622.

Gabrielle Stravelli At The Grunin Center TOMS RIVER – The Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College will present Gabrielle Stravelli at 8 p.m. on Saturday, September 15. The award-winning vocalist and songwriter will perform “I Walk With Music,” a show dedicated to the classic music of Johnny Mercer and Hoagy Carmichael. Stravelli’s rich sound, original compositions and unique take on an array of material – from the Great American Songbook, as well as by contemporary artists – has garnered her critical acclaim and a loyal following. A trained actor who began singing professionally at age 15, Stravelli has a soulful sensitivity for the story in the lyric, and was called “a powerhouse of individual expression” by The Village Voice. In 2017, she released her third album, “Dream Ago.” Also in recent years she has toured the world as a U.S. Department of State “Jazz Ambassador,” headlined the 2018 WBGO Jazz on the Mountain Festival, and toured the country with Wynton
Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of aug 25 - aug 31
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Inspiring ideas will fill up your tanks. You can’t make headway if you are running on empty. In the upcoming week you may be more comfortable working behind the scenes. You may receive a whiff of true love. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might enjoy the center of attention, even if it is only within the confines of your home. If you have developed good habits you can let your daily business routines run on autopilot in the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be the bandleader who directs your own life. Don’t let the passing whims of the world around you dictate how you spend your time this week. Use your charm and sincerity to impress people who wield the most influence. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can improve your reputation and career standing this week by starting new projects and aligning yourself with key people. When you notice money-making opportunities, you must strike while the iron is hot. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the week ahead, you may question whether your actions are bringing you the happiness you deserve. You may become more competitive at the workplace or more willing to tackle physically challenging projects. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Go the distance. Some of life’s challenges require a mere sprint but you will really showcase your talents if you follow through on a long-term project. In the week ahead your most thoughtful words will receive attention. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the week to
come you may form ties and alliances that are mutually beneficial. Your lack of adventurousness may seem dull and unexciting to some, but they know they can count on you when the chips are down. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your insights may be valuable especially where money is concerned. You may receive some type of secret knowledge that you can parlay into personal profit. Love can become a priority in the week ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Strive to start something meaningful for future success. You may consider making a change on impulse in the week ahead but will be happier with something that you have deliberated upon and prepared for. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Past experiences should refine you not define you. In the week ahead, you may find ways to become more efficient so that you can meet the demands of daily life head-on. Experiment with the latest technology. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Improve your financial standing while the going is good. Take steps to build an emergency fund, improve your job skills or widen your networks in the week ahead. Tact and kindness will produce the best results. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your aura of inner peace is soothing and attractive to others. You can buy new clothing that will enhance your appearance. Friends or co-workers might be erratic or eccentric and try your patience in the upcoming week.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Back-To-School Blondies Put A Sweet Spin On The End Of Summer Vacation By Wolfgang Puck
As the father of four sons - two grown and graduated from university, two more still in school - I know that right around now children may be deep in the doldrums. Depending on where in the country you live, summer vacation is drawing to a close or school has already started. Either way, desperate measures are necessary to help those children who are still at home feel active, interested and happy, or to help cheer up those who have already returned to the classroom. Baking sweet treats has always done the trick for me, going back all the way to those days when I was an unhappy schoolboy in Austria dreading the end of my own summer break. That is why I’d like to share a recipe for a delicious baked confection everyone will enjoy: blondies with walnuts and chocolate chips. I first encountered these popular American bar cookies - along with brownies, their even better-known chocolate-flavored cousins - after I came to America back in 1973, and I fell in love with them immediately. Like rich, dense, slightly chewy little pieces of cake you can pick up and eat from your hand, they have always seemed to me even more fun, indulgent and satisfying than cookies - and I love cookies! Not only that, but blondies are easy to make. In fact, they’re even easier than most brownie recipes, since there’s no need to melt chocolate first. Mixed with a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer, the batter comes together in just minutes. After 45 minutes or so of baking, and maybe another half hour to an hour of cooling before you cut them into squares, you have a treat that will bring joy to children and parents alike. Under parental supervision, kids can join in the fun of preparing the blondies. If you like, let them come up with different variations from the walnuts and chocolate chips in the following recipe. I’ve seen blondies that contain other kinds of nuts, white chocolate or butterscotch chips, chopped pieces of toffee or other candy, raisins or chopped dried fruit of other kinds, miniature marshmallows, and even broken pieces of salted pretzel. The fun doesn’t have to end there, either. One of my favorite ways to enjoy blondies is to make them the base for sundaes. Place a square in a shallow serving bowl, and top it with a scoop of whatever ice cream you like. Then a drizzle of your favorite sweet sauce, a dollop of whipped cream and some sprinkles top it off. Set up a blondie sundae bar, and the children may - at least for a moment - be so distracted they’ll forget that summer’s almost over or school’s already back in session. BLON DIES W ITH WA LNUTS A N D CHOCOLATE CHIPS Makes 9 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) all-purpose flour, plus
extra for dusting 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 6 ounces (185 g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature 1 cup (250 mL) packed light brown sugar 2 large eggs 1/2 cup (125 mL) sour cream 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2/3 cup (165 mL) coarsely chopped walnuts 2/3 cup (165 mL) semisweet chocolate chips Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting, optional Position the oven rack in the center and preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Evenly coat the inside of an 8-inch (20-cm) square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; then, with a spoon, sprinkle some flour over the bottom and sides of the pan to coat it evenly, tapping out the excess. Set the pan aside. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Put the butter and brown sugar in the large bowl of an electric stand mixer, or in a large mixing bowl if using a hand-held electric mixer. Beat at low speed until the sugar is incorporated; then, raise the speed to high and continue beating until fluffy, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beaters with a rubber spatula. Reduce the speed to medium and, one at a time, add the eggs. Beat in the sour cream and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture, beating just until incorporated. Add the walnuts and chocolate chips, beating at low speed just until mixed in evenly. With the spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared pan and level its surface. Bake in the preheated oven until the top feels firm to a quick touch and a long wooden toothpick or cake tester gently inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool. Line another rack with aluminum foil. When the blondies are completely cool, run a sharp knife around the inside edges of the pan. Invert the foil-lined rack over the pan and then, holding the pan and rack together, quickly but carefully invert and lift off the pan to unmold the blondies. To leave the blondies right-side up, place a large, flat platter or plate over the blondies and flip the foiled rack. Then remove the foil. With the knife, carefully trim away the hard outside edges of the blondies; then, cut into nine equal square pieces, each about 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm). If not serving immediately, store in an airtight container at a cool room temperature. If you like, decorate the blondies with a light dusting of confectioners’ sugar before serving. Hold a small wire-meshed sieve over them, spoon a little confectioners’ sugar into the sieve and tap the side of the sieve while moving it over the blondies.
