False Forecasts Hurt Shore Area Businesses

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY - For most seasonal businesses who depend on day trippers to provide their service, a weather forecast of gloom and doom can be devastating and many said that is precisely what happened this summer season.

Shore:

Continued From Page 1 “the weather is always important and this year we had a non-trend of sunny days followed by some rainy weather. It was not consistent.”

“Generally we had a good season but if anything it was wet and we would have done a little better,” Petruzel added.

Nearby is one of four Kohr’s Ice Cream locations (the others being in Seaside Heights, Seaside Park and Lavallette). Owner Greg Kohr said that forecasts by northern Jersey and New York radio and television stations hurt his business and others with forecasts predicting rain storms that never came.

“We are a big day trip customer business and a lot of those forecasts reported storms that were taking place up north but didn’t occur here. It would have been nice if they put a better spin on it,” Kohr said.

“We had 10 weekends of rain in the spring and five during the summer. The weather people said we had a 60 percent chance of rain this weekend and that really hurt our Friday and Saturday business. I’d say most businesses this season aren’t doing what we should be,” Kohr added.

The Starlight Motel in Ortley Beach has catered to vacationers for decades. Manager Michele McGarry said the false forecasts had hurt her business. “They kept reporting about storms happening up north but there was not a cloud in the sky here.”

Angelo Nucci, the motel’s assistant manager said “News 12 was reporting all season about storms that we didn’t get.”

“That really hurt us a lot and we had the added problem of the beach replenishment project going on here in Ortley Beach which has caused most of the beach blocks to be closed. Shame on the governor for not seeing that this was not done earlier in the year instead of the peak summer season. That hurt a lot of businesses here,” McGarry said.

Further north on Route 35, the owners of Lava Golf, a miniature golf business which features a barrier island theme for its 18 hole course, retaliated with some humor posting on several social media sites that better weather forecasting could be made by fictional characters like Aunt Clara of the 1960s Bewitched TV show and the late psychic, Kreskin not to mention a character from the cartoon SpongeBob Square Pants.

Kathy Misdea and her husband Dan own and operate the attraction which started three years ago. “We only had to close a few times this summer due to rain but our weekend business was hurt by the forecasts which generally didn’t reflect what was happening on this end of the state,” Kathy Misdea said.

“They said it was going to rain every day this weekend and there isn’t a cloud in the sky,” her husband added.

“It was so wrong. The forecasts were so different to what was going on here,” Kathy Misdea said. “We did have some people play in some drizzle but generally it wasn’t bad.”

The Beach Authority in Lavallette features bicycle rentals along with a beach supply store. Owner Maytol Manor said the weather forecasts definitely had a negative impact at her Lavallette and Ocean Beach locations.

“It started on Wednesday when they were

predicting rain all weekend,” Manor said.

Customer Susan Bialasz of Somerset said she didn’t mind the lack of traffic but “I felt bad for the businesses here. One day it was a report of rain and then it quickly changed to a heat advisory. I have children and you don’t want to plan something when you think rain is going to ruin it. My family has been coming down here all our lives and the weather predictions really stink.”

“We have a baby season to work with and as business owners we put our blood, sweat and tears into this. I just hope they don’t shoot down the weekends we have in September,” Manor said. “There are times when Toms River has rain but we don’t get a drop here on the island.”

“I do understand how you would weigh in weather as a factor. It would be better if they simply said there was a slight chance of rain and not say it was definitely going to happen,” Manor added.

Leah Steriti, manager of the Island Gypsy, a clothes store next to the Beach Authority, had a flurry of business on Labor Day. She noted a different situation than most.

“I do know that when it is nicer out we aren’t as busy. We are busy today but Friday was slower than last year’s Labor Day weekend. We do better when it rains. Many of our customers have learned not to rely on the weather reports,” Steriti said.

For one business, the day’s heat played a factor in delaying the start of their operation. A miniature golf course on West Atlantic Way in Chadwick Beach posted a sign stating that due to the heat, it would open at 4 pm on Labor Day. Stewart’s Root Beer in Seaside Heights features car port service and outside seating so weather plays a factor for their business.

Manager Tysheena Osborne said “we had a lot of rain this summer and did impact us. We also had forecasts of rain that we never did get.

We did well overall though.”

Maria Mastoris, marketing manager for the Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach water park in Seaside Heights, said that “unfortunately it wasn’t the best summer for us here on the Jersey Shore.

“Casino Pier and Breakwater Beach, along with other Jersey Shore destinations, rely on good weather so people will flock to the shore.

We had many hot and humid days this summer but that kept people indoors. The weather reporters even told people to stay inside, don’t go to the beach.”

She added that this “hurts our property, along with every other boardwalk along the coast. We had cloudy, rainy weekends as well. However many times when it is raining in Toms River or across the bridge, it is sunny and nice in Seaside Heights. Usually the ocean breeze keeps the rain clouds away.

However, our guests are watching New York news where it is saying it is raining outside, don’t go to the beach, so we lose all of those guests for that day,” Mastoris said.

Mastoris noted that “even this Labor Day Weekend, the weather app on my phone was calling for rain, clouds and a crappy weekend. But it turned out to be perfect.

Saturday was sunny, Sunday was sunny, today (Labor Day) was sunny. Our business is only open for three short months so we need to make the most of those months.

Unfortunately, the weather and the weather forecasts didn’t help us this year”.

Mold:

Continued From Page 5 Trethaway said there is no f inancial impact to Manchester taxpayers.

Lakehurst school will reimburse the Manchester school district for the bus routes. Both districts use mostly the same curriculum, so there will be sharing. Manchester staff are free to donate supplies to Lakehurst teachers, he added.

And while the two districts will remain distinct, Trethaway said there will be some shared time, such as lunch at Whiting and possibly gym classes at Ridgeway, but Lakehurst teachers will teach Lakehurst students, Manchester teachers teach Manchester students.

Mold was found in the Lakehurst Elementary School toward the end of August after summer school had fi nished. TTI Environmental was brought in to assess the damages.

Timothy Popp of TTI Environmental also spoke at that Aug. 29 meeting, and said they found penicillium, aspergillus, and cladosporium molds in air samples inside the school. All are common molds, always present in indoor and outdoor air. (None are the black mold type.) However, too much mold can cause physical damage to items and irritate those with allergies and compromised immune systems.

Popp said they collected 57 air samples and found mold ranges from low to high.

His team could also see the mold growing on items throughout the school.

“It was pretty visible to us that there was a major issue there,” Popp said.

Every inch of the inside of the school will be vacuumed with the HEPA vacuum. A mild detergent will be used to wipe down

Land:

Continued From Page 1 is twofold. First for future expansion of the old Crestwood water facility, which is now owned by the township. The property includes a ground storage tank for water, a treatment facility and offsite well. This provides water to the west side of town,” Manchester Township Business Administrator Donna Markulic said.

“The second reason is to ensure residential

surfaces. After a wet wipe, the areas will be HEPA vacuumed again. They will use isolation barriers and air scrubbers during the cleaning.

While there is no government standard for mold, Popp said, they will follow industry standards, which says indoor levels should be lower than outdoor levels.

August brought with it rains and humidity, a perfect combination for mold growth.

The school ventilation and dehumidifying system has been running nonstop, even when no one was in the building, but the brutality of this August weather was just too much, Popp said. And schools are the perfect breeding ground for it, with their paper dust and other dust for mold to feed on. Lakehurst wasn’t alone in this mold problem: schools in Brick and Stafford townships also had mold issues from the August weather.

“Servepro said it best to me: pretend it was a fi re,” Fuhring said. “‘You lost everything.’ They will salvage what they can salvage.”

Teachers have reached out to businesses and other organizations, seeking donations. Several community members asked about donating directly to the school, but Fuhring asked that they hold off on that for now. Everyone is working out of the tiny Board of Education building, and there’s just nowhere to store anything yet.

The remediation and associated costs will likely reach $1 million, officials said. The school district does not have a surplus to take from, and the borough said they are not able to provide any money for the cleanup. Fuhring said the district has reached out to county and state officials for help.

homes are not directly next to our facility. We wouldn’t want to worry about being considered bad neighbors to new residential homes built close to the facility.”

If the properties were sold to other buyers, the township wouldn’t be able to expand the water facility, Markulic said. However, there are no immediate plans to expand the facility.

The township purchased the water system from the Crestwood Village Water Company in February 2010.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Sea Turtles Released Into Wild

By Jennifer Peacock POINT PLEASANT BEACH – Four sea turtles were released back into the wild 7 a.m. Sept. 5 at Water Street.

The turtles were rehabilitated at Sea Turtle Recovery, a nonprofit hospital located inside the Essex County Turtle Back Zoo. Twenty-three turtles have been rehabbed and released since the hospital opened in December 2016.

Tammie, an adult Loggerhead, and three juvenile Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles, will be released Sept. 5.

Tammie was found off the coast of Cape May by the crew of the United States Coast Guard Cutter Lawrence Lawson. The turtle appeared to have injuries received from propeller strikes across her carapace, top shell. But she is now ready to return to the ocean.

“Watching Tammie return to the ocean will be highly rewarding. After over a year in rehabilitation, this turtle and all of the turtles getting released take a piece of my heart with them on their journey,” co-executive officer of STR Brandi Biehl said.

Also scheduled for release was Glacier, recovered

from a broken flipper; Shellbie, healed of fungal pneumonia; and Junior, who had a respiratory infection. Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles are endangered, “which makes their return home vital in the effort to save their species,” STR officials said.

“To see the fight to survive in these sea turtle’s eyes, it makes you realize how fragile our oceans are and how it is our responsibility to keep it safe for the animals that call it home.” Biehl said.

The release can also be watched at facebook.com/ SeaTurtleRecovery.

9 Tips To Help Detect Hearing Loss

It is often hard to recognize hearing loss.

Simply put, it can be sneaky. As someone who experiences hearing loss, you have an advantage in helping loved ones recognize it in themselves. Here are some signs that can help you start the conversation…

Balance Blues. Are they less sure footed than they once were? The inner ear is important to both hearing and stability – the cause of a balance problem could be affecting their hearing as well.

The Lean. Do they consistently lean into the conversations on the same side?

They could have greater hearing loss on one side, causing them to attempt to use their “good ear.”

“Library, Anyone?” Are they not doing some of the things that make them happy?

With a hearing loss, it’s difficult to hear in public places with lots of background sounds – they could be avoiding noisy areas altogether.

Lots of laughter. Are they laughing more often? It might not mean you’ve hit your comedic stride. If they can’t hear what’s going on they might be responding inappropriately to social cues to feel more

engaged.

Odd Responses. Do their replies seem out of place or not make sense? It might not be because they’re distracted – they might not be able to follow the conversation.

Isolation. Are they begging off social situations entirely, even at home? It can be difficult to admit to hearing loss, which can lead to social anxiety.

The Blame Game. Are they blaming misunderstandings on noises or other people? Rather than admit to hearing loss, sometimes it’s easier to act like outside factors are the issue.

What?” Do you feel like you’re repeating yourself more often? Maybe you are mumbling sometimes- but odds are their hearing loss is the problem.

Turning up the Volume. This is self explanatory: If your family member or friend can’t hear, they are going to adjust devices so they can.

If more than a couple of these hit home, consider starting that conversation with your loved one. We’d be glad to give them a complimentary consultation.

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!

Amazing Health Benefits Of Prunes

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Almost everyone knows what prunes are for, they help you get going! Your parents probably kept them in the cabinet, and offered them to you when you were a kid.

Prunes are actually just dried plums, and they’re fruits of the tree species Prunus domestica, hence the name. Speaking of names, which would you rather eat?

Prunes which help with bowel function, or “dried plums?” Honestly, which sound more palatable?! For purely marketing reasons, the name was changed which offer mass appeal.

What they couldn’t change was how shriveled up and sticky these guys are when you eat them! But don’t let that hinder you because prunes have been scientifically proven to help soften stools and induce a laxative type effect due to their sorbitol content. Prune juice will not work because the actual fruit provides the fiber, juice does not. Do prunes have other medicinal benefits? Yes, surprisingly important ones too!

Bones Prunes have been shown in multiple studies to prevent, and even reverse, bone loss in post-menopausal women. They’re good for osteoporosis! Prunes work by suppressing the rate of bone turnover.

In fact, prominent researchers wrote an article in the British Journal of Nutrition and after studying the fruits, they have come to conclusion that prunes are “the most effective fruit in both preventing and reversing bone loss.”

Blood vessels A placebo-controlled trial out of Pakistan showed that eating just one serving of

prunes each day could significantly lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients.

Those who ate the prunes had a reduction in both their systolic and diastolic blood pressure (top and bottom numbers).

Brain Eating prunes might preserve your brain.

In an animal model study, feeding rodents an extract of plums helped to maintain their cognitive function. Not only was their memory recall improved, there was less formation of Beta amyloid plaques, which are the same damaging protein found in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

Even if everything is ‘moving right along’ in your life, consider adding prunes to your diet if only to help you with blood pressure regulation, bone health and memory. It’s mind-blowing to think such a simple thing could help so much. As a pharmacist, I see no risk to this, and only benefit. But of course, don’t eat too many prunes or you’ll get diarrhea!

If you’re constipation is due to opiate usage (such as oxycodone or hydrocodone) then this would require an OTC medication such as MiraLAX. The prunes are fine, but will not be enough! If your constipation is secondary to hypothyroidism, prunes will not be enough. You will need thyroid medication. I have written about this extensively at my website.

Prunes would be fantastic on a salad!

Or just eat them whole. Recipes exist everywhere including my website where I also have a longer version of this article posted. If you simply can’t stand prunes, then plums are a great alternative! Plums contain the same anthocyanins that prunes do, and they are even juicier!

Toms River Little League Champs Look Back 20 Years Later

By Chris Christopher Their names will never be forgotten.

Shortstop-pitcher Todd Frazier. Pitcher Casey Gaynor. Pitcher-first baseman Scott Fisher. Second baseman Joey Franceschini Jr. Third baseman Gabe Gardner. Catcher Brad Frank. Outfielder Chris Cardone. Outfielder R.J. Johansen. Outfielder Chris Crawford.

Outfielder Mike Belostock. Outfielder Eric Campesi. Outfielder Tom Gannon. Manager

Mike Gaynor. Coach Ken Kondek. Coach Joe Franceschini Sr. And what the group - the Toms River East American Little League All-Star team - accomplished 20 years ago will also never be forgotten.

The club captured the 1998 Little League World Series title, besting Kashima, Ibarak, Japan, 12-9, on Aug. 29 in front of some 40,000 fans and an ABC Television audience

at Howard J. Lamade Stadium in South Williamsport, Pa. “I don’t think it ever really sunk in on me when we won the world championship,” said Cardone, who went 2-for-2 in the finale. “To be honest, I don’t think I will ever really comprehend what we did. I was a little kid and all of my feelings and experiences are filtered through that little boy’s 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, (Champs - See Page 24)

By Chris Shea, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. If you have suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers’ compensation coverage.

In some instances, an aggressive compensation carrier may deny an injured worker’s legitimate workers’ compensation claims. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. If this is the case, you may stand to lose critical benefits.

Most important among these critical benefits is the right to medical treatment.

Medical benefits are mandated by the New Jersey Worker’s Compensation Act, and require the employer to furnish the injured worker with medical, surgical, and other treatment as are necessary “to cure and relieve the worker of the effects of the injury and to restore the functions of the injured member or organ” if possible. Moreover, in those instances where the employer has refused or neglected to provide medical treatment in accordance with the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, the employer will be held responsible for the cost of treatment; even if the employee receives treatment prior to the carrier’s authorization.

Further, it is important to note another

critical benefit of the Christopher R. Shea Esq. Workers Compensation Act. This benefit protects employees from collections law suits when the employee obtains medical treatment that has been wrongfully or negligently withheld by an employer. This benefit, was upheld by the New Jersey Appellate Court in Kinley Physical Therapy Services, Inc. v. Kramer, and unequivocally states that a medical service provider is prohibited from filing an action against the employee until a determination has been made by the Division of Workers’ Compensation.

The Court reasoned that a medical provider is normally not permitted to pursue collection actions in court until it resolves all administrative remedies, thus, the employee must be shielded from all actions by the medical provider until the Court determines whether or not the employer is responsible for the cost of medical care.

If you feel your legitimate benefits have been denied and you live in the New Jersey, our workers compensation lawyers would like to talk to you to see if we can assist you with your case. Please call for a free consultation. R.C. Shea & Associates, 244 Main Street, Toms River, N.J. \ (732) 505-1212.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Champs:

Continued From Page 22 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 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 all-stars 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.

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 (Champs - See Page 25)

Champs:

Continued From Page 24 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 NEED AN EMERGENCY HOME REPAIR? WE’RE HERE TO HELP AT NO CHARGE

The Manchester Times, September 8, 2018, Page 25 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.”

Eating More Fiber May Lower Risk Of First-Time Stroke NEW JERSEY - Eating more fiber may decrease your risk of first-time stroke, according to new research in the American Heart Association journal, Stroke.

Dietary fiber is the part of the plant that the body doesn’t absorb during digestion. Fiber can be soluble, which means it dissolves in water, or insoluble.

Previous research has shown that dietary fiber may help reduce risk factors for stroke, including high blood pressure and high blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) “bad” cholesterol.

In the new study, researchers found that each seven gram increase in total daily fiber intake was associated with a seven percent decrease in first-time stroke risk. One serving of whole wheat pasta, plus two servings of fruits or vegetables, provides about 7 grams of fiber, researchers said.

“Greater intake of fiber-rich foods such as whole-grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts - are important for everyone, and especially for those with stroke risk factors like being overweight, smoking and having high blood pressure,” Diane Threapleton, M.Sc., and Ph.D. candidate at the University of Leeds’ School of Food Science and Nutrition in Leeds, United Kingdom.

Researchers analyzed eight studies published between 1990-2012. Studies reported on all types of stroke with four specifically examining the risk of ischemic stroke, which occurs when a clot blocks a blood vessel to the brain.

Th ree assessed hemor rhagic st roke,

which occurs when a blood vessel bleeds into the brain or on its surface.

Findings from the observational studies were combined and accounted for other stroke risk factors like age and smoking.

The results were based on total dietary fiber. Researchers did not find an association with soluble fiber and stroke risk, and lacked enough data on insoluble fiber to make any conclusions.

The average daily fiber intake among U.S. adults is lower than the American Heart Association’s recommendation of at least 25 grams per day. Six to eight servings of grains and eight to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables can provide the recommended amount.

“Most people do not get the recommended level of fiber, and increasing fiber may contribute to lower risk for strokes,” Threapleton said. “We must educate consumers on the continued importance of increasing fiber intake and help them learn how to increase fiber in their diet.”

In the United States, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death, killing more than 137,000 people annually.

A mong su r v ivor s, t he d isea se is a leading cause of disability.

In addition to following a nutritious diet, the American Heart Association recommends being physically active and avoiding tobacco to help prevent stroke and other heart and blood vessel diseases.

Tree Planting Perfect Way To Honor Environmentalist

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – A who’s who of environmental leadership came out to honor one of their own during a tree-planting memorial service at Traders Cove Marina for Greg Auriemma, 63, a Brick resident who died in July last year while on a hiking trip in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire.

Auriemma had been battling cancer and took off on the 10-day, 30 mile hiking trip after getting news that his condition had improved, said Jeff Tittel, Director of the NJ Sierra Club, at the time.

Tittel came to Traders Cove to pay his respects and speak about the passion Auriemma had for protecting the environment.

“I was always getting a phone call from Greg on Friday afternoons to give me words of encouragement for whatever we were doing,” Tittel said to the gathering of Auriemma’s family, friends and fellow environmentalists.

Auriemma, who was an attorney, helped to restart the Ocean County Chapter of the Sierra Club some 20 years ago, and as its chair, worked tirelessly on ocean issues, climate change, preserving open space, organizing beach clean-ups and much more, Tittel said.

“It’s appropriate that we have planted this tree at Traders Cove because Greg spent a lot of years here with Save Barnegat Bay to protect and preserve it as open space,” Tittel said.

The last environmental issue the men worked on together for the Sierra Club was to fight a proposed restaurant to be built at the marina and park, Tittel said.

Even when Auriemma was feeling sick, he showed up at the Sierra Club meetings, and Tittel said that his friend had a big part in “Barnegat Bay finally getting cleaned up.”

“In the Jewish religion, a tree stands for life,” Tittel said. “It is fitting to plant a tree because it is a symbol of life moving for-

ward. Plus, we’re tree huggers,” he joked.

“The price of stewardship is vigilance, keep doing what’s right, and that’s what Greg did,” he said.

Willie deCamp, president of Save Barnegat Bay, said that one of the joys of his career was working with Auriemma.

“We first met when he was in the front row of a Save Barnegat Bay meeting to save Traders Cove,” he said. “He was in the front row and wouldn’t stop asking questions and giving his opinion, but his questions and his opinions were very strong.”

He said their friendship benefitted deCamp since Auriemma convinced him to attend the climate marches in New York City and in Washington D.C. “It was a revelation how much you learn at these marches,” deCamp said. Auriemma cared about environmental issues everywhere, not just those that affected Ocean County or New Jersey, he said.

After deCamp’s comments, Tittel came back to speak about Auriemma’s visit to the White House after Superstorm Sandy.

Ocean County was devastated, Tittel recalled, and Auriemma’s lagoon-front home in Brick had also been damaged, but Auriemma worked tirelessly to help raise money for people who needed a place to stay or furniture for their house.

“I got a call from the White House and they asked me of all the people I knew who were impacted by Sandy, who was the biggest influence? There was no question, it was Greg, so he went to the White House and met the president,” Tittel said.

President Obama recognized Auriemma as a “Champion of Change” for his efforts, Tittel said.

Auriemma’s long-time partner, Joyce Isaza, said the memorial service would have meant everything to him.

“It is a really big honor for him to have everyone around him that he loved,” she said.

Protest Over Supreme Court Pick Brings Both Sides

By Bob Vosseller TOMS R IVER – Fou r teen count y residents came together on Washington Street despite confusion regarding whether a rally to oppose the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh by President Donald Trump, was actually taking place or not.

Of the 14 present, 10 shared their views with Jersey Shore Online, opposing the nomination while four others explained their view of why Kavanaugh’s nomination should be allowed its due course. The gathering held provided an impromptu forum of civil discourse between both sides.

Kavanaugh is being considered for the opening on the United States Supreme Court and a series of nationwide rallies called “Unite For Justice,” took place on Aug. 26. The downtown Toms River rally was one of three in the state that had been scheduled by MoveOn.org with support from partnering agencies that are involved in healthcare and environmental causes but the organizing website dropped the Toms River location the day before.

Those who came out to oppose Kavanaugh were not aware of the event’s apparent cancellation. Likewise, those who came out to support the president’s nominee were expecting a bigger turnout by the opposition.

The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to begin confirmation hearings on Kavanaugh on Sept. 4.

Those who oppose Kavanaugh such as Ocean County Green Party Chairman Thomas Cannavo of Beachwood say he will rule against reproductive freedom, health care, the environment, voting rights, workers’ rights, LGBTQ rights, and immigrant rights, and are calling on U.S. senators to block the appointment.

Cannavo was also promoting his organization’s rally set for 1 to 4 p.m. on Sept. 15 in downtown Toms River called a “March for Peace: End Wars.” That event will include a march followed by a rally with live music and speakers advocating for peace. “We need to express our views,” Cannavo said.

Beachwood resident Bill Trulby said “I have no problem with him (Kavanaugh) as a person but I don’t think the president should have the ability to put in a person who is 50 something and is a person who will have a lot of inf luence on the supreme court for the next 30 years. We will remember in November.”

Trulby said he researched Kavanaugh and he had concerns about the president’s nomination given the circumstances of recent legal issues that could lead to Trump’s indictment or possible impeachment.

Sandford Josephson, Manchester, noted similar concerns. “He should not be allowed to have his nominee heard in the Senate at this time. Republicans will be complicit with this if it goes forward.”

Josephson is hopeful the nomination

might not pass. “All you need is one (Republican) to f lip it.”

Waretow n resident Rosean ne DePasquale has been at tending recent rallies opposing the president’s policies and was present to lend her voice on two fronts, one sharing her view opposing the nomination and leading supporters in a protest song or two.

“I don’t see how this president can nominate anyone right now when he may be being brought up on criminal charges.

I think this should wait until after the midterm election,” DePasquale said.

Tom Ferreri of Bayville felt differently.

He attended the rally to find out why there would be opposition to the nomination process.

“How can you be against this? How do you know how he will vote on a given issue? He will vote according to an interpretation of law. He is a constitutionalist,” Ferreri said of Kavanaugh.

Mark Sisler, his wife Tara, and Mike Rosell, each of Bayville, came out to share their view which was in support of the president’s nomination.

“I think everyone is entitled to their opinion but this is a legal process. I didn’t like it when Obama was president but once he was elected I accepted it. I think this nomination stands for itself. I don’t see him as mean spirited. For those afraid he will reverse Roe Vs. Wade, he can’t change that. He is only one person on the bench,” Sisler said.

Sitting off to the side of the morning activity, typing on his laptop was Steve Monvay who was unaware of the planned rally and who had come out to sit on the steps and do some writing. The township resident who moved to the United States decades ago from Hungary was pleased to see the civil conversation between the two sides. He also lamented on the passing of Sen. John McCain.

“Trump is ignorant and a racist. You see a lot in the people he has picked to be around him,” Monvay said. “I’m Hungarian and I moved here when I was 14. The president of Hungry was a fascist. Trump will be meeting with the prime minister of Hungary soon. I am glad to see people come out and speak their views.”

Rep. Thomas McArthur (R-3rd District) provided a prepared statement prior to the rally in support of the nominee. His office is a short distance away from the rally point within the Toms River Township municipal building.

“Brett Kavanaugh is exactly the type of judge who would be a great asset to our nation’s highest bench. He was confirmed to his current post with bipartisan support and I expect him to be confirmed to the Supreme Court with support from both parties. I would encourage Democrats to give him a fair and open hearing, rather than obstructing him at every turn, simply because he was nominated

by President Trump.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 8 - sept 14

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Don’t rush to judgment. It may be better to hold off on drawing any conclusions as you may not yet have all the facts at your disposal. Remain calm in the face of adversity as things will quickly improve in the week ahead.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Maintain a united front. Petty squabbles with those who are on your side may leave you as a solo act if you’re not careful. Don’t assume that your concerns are more important than anyone else’s this week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Just because they offer you Kool-Aid doesn’t mean you have to drink it. Keep in mind that those who are overly optimistic may make foolish or reckless decisions. Let common sense be your guide in the week ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let them accept you as you are in the upcoming week. Someone who makes you bend over backwards to please is taking advantage so draw the line. Your generosity should be your choice, not someone else’s.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Maintain a modicum of moderation. Getting too passionate or excited over a new interest may cause you to go overboard so try to keep your wits about you. You may be attracted to gaudy or tasteless items this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Look before you leap. Stay anchored in reality when discussing future plans as you may agree to do something that is not possible. Use logic and common sense this week to avoid wandering into uncharted waters.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Grin and bear

it. Giving into your adventurous side may result in a neglect of responsibilities. Stick to your routines this week. Making waves when dealing with the status quo could leave you struggling to stay afloat.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take the high road. You may find that a short-cut takes you the exact same place as doing it the hard way. Don’t be afraid to question established norms in the week ahead as there may indeed be an easier way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Bring your A game. Don’t be so overconfident this week that you neglect to make necessary preparations for your latest endeavor. Assuming that you know what someone is thinking is asking for trouble.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let them down easy. Employ a little tact when trying to show a loved one the error of their ways.

Being too blunt could hurt feelings this week.

Show them that you’re on their side by being helpful and kind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It may not be worth the risk. Successfully taking a chance may yield vast rewards but there’s no certainty that you won’t fail. Play it safe this week and indulge in the many joys of life that cost you nothing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Don’t be a rebel without a cause. Being argumentative or defiant simply for the sake of stirring things up will get you nowhere. Focus extra energy on being creative rather than trying to tear things down this week.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Summer Finale: Easy Recipe Provides Seamless Transition To Fall Grilling

By Wolfgang Puck

What are you grilling for Labor Day? That question is being asked more and more as the unofficial end of summer draws near.

It’s an odd time of year to be thin king about what you might grill. The actual end of summer is fast approaching, after which the days grow shorter and shorter as fall begins to close in. We’re also on the verge of facing so-called Indian summer, when temperatures can sometimes be as warm as the hottest summer days, or even hotter.

So my suggestion to you is to cook something that feels special yet easy for the end of vacation time but also feels slightly autumnal.

A dish with a hint of f lavors that will feel robust and comforting for the cooler days that will ultimately come after Indian summer passes.

With all that in mind, pork chops seem to me like an ideal main ingredient choice. They cook quickly and easily on the grill, providing tender, f lavorful results. They’re impressive, substantial and satisfying.

You can also go on cooking the recipe as summer gives way to autumn. And, once the weather turns a bit colder, feel free to adapt it simply by cooking the chops on the stovetop in a little bit of peanut oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat instead of on the grill. Voila! You have a perfectly delicious autumn dish that will make you think back to happy summer days.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH VINEGAR BUTTER AND BABY ARUGULA Serves 4 4 well-trimmed pork chops, each about 8 ounces (250 g) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 large shallot, minced 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3 tablespoons cut into small pieces 1/4 cup (60 mL) Zinfandel vinegar

or other good-quality, strongf lavored red wine vinegar 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry red wine 1/2 cup (125 mL) good-quality chicken broth or stock, boiled in a small saucepan until reduced to about 1/4 cup (60 mL) 2 bunches baby arugula, tough stems removed, leaves rinsed under cold running water and patted dry Preheat a grill for direct-heat cooking, with the fire directly under the cooking grid.

When the fire is hot, season the pork chops to taste on both sides with salt and pepper. G r ill the chops until well-seared on both sides and cooked through but still juicy, 5 to 7 minutes per side, turning them only once; an instant read grilling thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read about 145 F (63 C). Remove the chops to a heated platter, cover with aluminum foil, and keep warm.

As soon as the pork chops start grilling, prepare the sauce. Put the shallot and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a nonreactive saucepan over medium heat and saute until the shallot begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the vinegar, stir and scrape with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan deposits, raise the heat to high, and cook until the vinegar reduces by half its volume, about 1 minute.

Stir in the wine and continue boiling until it reduces by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the reduce broth or stock and continue simmering the sauce until it is thick enough to lightly coat the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Reduce the heat to low and whisk the sauce continuously while adding the remaining butter pieces a little at a time, only adding more when those you’ve added are fully incorporated. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.

Arrange a bed of arugula leaves on each of four warmed dinner plates.

Place a pork chop on top of each bed of arugula. Spoon the sauce over the chops, and serve immediately.
