Pride “Protests” Light Up Ocean County With Color

By Kimberly Bosco LAKEWOOD – Whether you were leaving from a game at the Lakewood BlueClaws or just passing through, you might have caught a glimpse of the rainbow of people lining the corner of New Hampshire and Cedar Bridge Ave.

More than one hundred supporters of the LGBTQ community came out in full force opposing a protest coordinated against local Pride Month celebrations, spearheaded by Lakewood’s Rabbi Yesuda Levin.

The protests were on June 6, although the (Pride - See Page 4)

Local Man Drives Into Competitive World Of eSports

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - Electronic sports, or competitive video gaming known as “eSports” is a fast-growing international phenomenon that is projected to generate over $1 billion in revenue this year, with over a third of that coming from the North American market.

It’s a whole other world familiar to Generations Y and Z, but maybe not as familiar to those who didn’t grow up playing video games in their living rooms every day.

Township resident Nick Jobes, 27, was one of those kids who was “highly into video games,” starting from age 6 or 7, until he had to focus on other priorities as a full-time student at Monmouth University while working a full-time job.

Jobes, who recently became a professional gamer in eNascar Heat Pro League for Henrick Motorsports Gaming Club, explained how eSports is helping to increase viewership for sports like NASCAR racing.

“NASCAR saw [eSports] as an opportunity to grow the sport, because generally speaking, over the last five to 10 years, there has been a decline in viewership among the younger generation,” he said.

“Nearly every young kid plays video games, so NASCAR wanted to come up with a way to connect the two,” he explained.

Jobes always watched NASCAR races growing up, but realized early on that those who drove race cars either needed to have money or a connection.

“So this was my outlet, playing the video game,” he said.

Every year, NASCAR comes out with a revised and updated video game. In December, they had the first-ever qualifying period to find the best online racers for a new eSports racing league, so for 40 days Jobes played, and got ranked each day on 30 different tracks.

Out of 589 races ran, Jobes won 214, and made the cut when it was narrowed down to the top 100 U.S. players.

There were 28 players selected - 14, two-person teams - and Jobs was contacted by three racing teams and drafted by Hendrick (Drive - See Page 5)

Continued From Page 1 and trips - which fill quickly - and lots of requests to work,” Mangold joked.

According to four-time past president Jane Fabach, the yard sale began years ago during Octoberfest when the Historical Society had a white elephant table.

“We made $200, and then the next year we made $300,” Fabach recalled. “Then we moved to it spring and just made it a giant yard sale.” Profits are now in the four figures, she said.

The membership starts collecting items in June for the following year.

“We want household items, collectables, toys, lamps, and accent furniture,” she said. “We don’t want mugs, plastics, clothes or piles and piles of books.”

Historical Society members can contribute to a baked goods table at the yard sale, which resulted in four tables laden with breads, pies, cookies, pastries and more.

Society member Patty Wilder of Lake Riviera brought her sister-in-law Anne Emerson to the yard sale.

“I love it. It’s a beautiful day and the baked goods are fantastic,” said Emerson, who bought a Historical Society t-shirt.

“It’s always interesting,” she added.

Township Historian Gene Donatello was giving tours of the Havens Homestead and was telling the history of Brick to yard sale attendees.

Donatello said the organization got its start when the township formed a Bicentennial Committee in 1976, which morphed into the Historical Society. Donatello

Pride:

Continued From Page 1 Pride Night held at the stadium was actually on June 8. The rabbi organized the rally on Thursday because Saturday was a holy day.

Cars honked in solidarity and cheered through open windows at the high-spirited crowd as they rounded the corner.

Supporters decked out in rainbow colors and creative headgear held up signs with messages of pride, facing off against Levin and his supporters on the opposing corner. The Pride side dwarfed Levin’s Pride month protest by a landslide.

The celebration/protest was accentuated by the flashing of red and blue lights as Lakewood Police Officers directed traffic and kept order at the intersection.

The leader of the anti-pride sentiment in the protest was Rabbi Levin, a staunchly conservative rabbi who has been preaching anti-gay and anti-abortion beliefs for many years, even during his candidacy for New York City mayor in 1985.

In the days leading up to the protest, videos of Levin condemning Pride celebrations, calling them an “abomination” and a “homosexualization” of the community, were shared repeatedly over social media.

In a first video, which was shared on the First Amendment Activist Facebook page, Levin targets the Ocean County Library’s

was appointed Township Historian by then-Mayor Joseph Scarpelli.

“I have no duties. I’m a volunteer who promotes the history of the town,” Donatello said between museum tours. “It took a long time to become an expert,” he said.

Donatello is on the township Preservation Committee, which recently hosted a soldout bus tour that featured two historical stops in Brick. One was a historical log cabin off Mantoloking Road, and the second stop was the Old Woolley Cemetery (AKA the Gravely Graveyard) off Princeton Ave. The Brick Township Historical Society will be sponsoring the 61st New York Regiment at the Havens Homestead property for a Civil War Encampment on the first weekend in August.

The soldiers wear wool uniforms and demonstrate what life was like in camp.

They cook their meals on a fire pit, march, fire guns and invite the public to share experiences with them. Admission is free but donations are welcome to help defray expenses, Fabach said.

Visiting hours for the encampment will be 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Saturday, August 3 and from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Sunday, August 4.

The Havens Homestead Museum, located at 521 Herbertsville Road, will be open for tours during the encampment. There will also be a large bake sale in the building.

The Lizzie Herbert Gift Shop will feature specials, including Civil War hankie dolls.

various Pride-themed events. Various branches of the Ocean County Library take part in Pride by highlighting books, speakers, movies, and more that focus on LGBTQ themes, promoting tolerance and understanding.

In the video, Levin preaches “keep your hands off the minds of our children,” calling those at the Lakewood BlueClaws stadium “lowlife scum” for hosting a gay pride event.

A second video followed in which Levin proceeded to denounce the BlueClaws celebration and urged people to come out to the protest. Levin stated that these Pride celebrations were contributed to the “homosexualization” of a community “whose community standards and values are traditional and biblical.”

Levin goes on to cite “Pride” celebrations as a “threat to Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike.”

The BlueClaws’ Pr ide celebration includes a BlueClaws Pride Night Hat Giveaway for the first 1,500 fans and fireworks following the game, according to their website.

LGBTQ supporters who came out to the protest made it clear that Levin’s sentiments were not universal. Some toted signs with Pride-themed messages such as “I support my LGBTQ friends” and “What’s so bad about a little pride?”

“Prior to this, I hadn’t played for a couple of years, so during the qualifying period I didn’t know anybody,” he said. “I reached out to the top guys to ask for help because I wanted to be more competitive.”

In the realistic video game, each player has to adjust 50 to 75 car settings before the race even begins. The top gamers made suggestions to Jobes as to tire pressure, shock settings, gear ratios and much more, saving him hours in building his car, he said.

“My lack of experience really hurt,” he said. “The car settings are very important in this game in order to make the car perform better.”

After the qualifying period narrowed the racers down to 100, 25 at a time competed against each other in “showcase” races.

Jobes performed in the top five for each race, which he was happy about since he came in as an underdog, he said.

Two weeks ago, Jobes flew to Charlotte, N.C. by Hendrick Motorsports for the gamers to compete in the first race of the season on a stage next to the track where a real-life NASCAR race would take place two hours later.

The gamers were streamed live, and it had some 95,700 total views.

Jobes came in ninth place, and he got to meet and spend time with some of the drivers after the race.

Jobes explained how gaming works and how income can be generated by gaming.

The Brick Times, June 15, 2019, Page 5 A popular video game called Fortnight (a survival game set on modern-day Earth) has about 45 million active players all over the world, and many people tune in just to watch others play on streaming sites like Twitch and YouTube. Viewers get to see the player in real-time, and also see the player’s screen, Jobes said.

“Most people ages 10 to 25 either play Fortnight, have played Fortnight, or watch people play Fortnight,” he said. “It’s fun to watch because it is a very skill-driven game.”

A well-known Fortnight player, “Ninja,” commonly has 100,000 to 200,000 people watching him at one time, and when the singer Drake came to play with him, there were some 600,000 viewers, Jobes said.

“I can’t replicate what ‘Ninja’s doing, and when some people don’t have the skills to replicate the best, they’d rather watch,” he explained.

Jobes said there is a personality component involved with some of the more successful gamers. “Ninja” does a funny dance when he wins or when his viewers egg him on, he said.

Gamers primarily make money in two different ways, he said. First, through sponsorships. “Ninja” is sponsored by Red Bull, and while he’s playing there is always a Red Bull refrigerator in the background.

The second way is through advertising revenue where viewers have to watch a 15 or 30-second ad before you see the gamer live. “‘Ninja’ is making stupid money,” Jobes said. “Like $5 to $6 million a year, and he’s only about 25 years old.”

—Photo by Judy Smestad-Nunn Nick Jobes waves to the camera during the first eNASCAR Heat Pro League race at Charlotte Motor Speedway People are highly driven to watch eSports, and sports industries are starting to realize the revenue potential by bringing more fans into the industry, he said.

Jobes said he is making some money from gaming, but has no plans to quit his day job as a tax accounting supervisor at a CPA firm in Toms River.

The gamers in eNascar Heat Pro League aren’t being streamed live yet because the league wants their viewers to watch the official stream on Facebook or Twitch, but they’ll start soon after the initial growth period, Jobes said.

“A lot of people wanted to get drafted,” Jobes said. “I saw this opportunity and I put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes.

It’s not always visible, but my results have spoken for themselves.”

Jobes said he’s had to work hard for everything he has. “I know if I want something, I’m gonna go get it,” he said.

There will be a total of 12 eNascar Heat Pro League races, which are held every other Wednesday at 8 p.m. To watch the live stream of the next race on June 26, visit eNASCAR.com or at 704GamesNascarHeat on Facebook.

Pride:

Continued From Page 4 Others made signs with more pointed messages for Levin like “Religion is no cause for hate,” “Homophobia is not tolerated in Ocean County,” and “Free hugs for non-bigoted bastards.”

All the while, the crowd carried on chants of “Pride Doesn’t Die,” “U.S. of Gay,” and “Love Not Hate.”

Many of these supporters made the decision to come out to the protest after seeing Levin’s flyer, which quickly made the rounds on social media prompting members of the community to join the fight against Pride, at the BlueClaws Stadium on June 6. The flyer states: “This abomination must stop!!!…This abomination celebration will victimize young innocent children. No other FAMILY FRIENDLY towns in Ocean County have such outrages (sic) events which are antithetical to our religious sensitivities.

Our children are already bombarded in schools/media/entertainment with terrible anti-family brainwashing. Gay Pride events at family venues like sporting events, bowling alleys, malls, shopping centers or even Ocean County College.

Do not sexualize kids at public events!!”

A former Lakewood resident of 30 years, Janet came out to the protest in support of her LGBTQ son.

“It’s my turn to start getting out there…

It was his [Levin’s] viral things that literally made me sick,” she said. “He was spouting evil.”

Janet made a sign specifically for Levin that read: “You are acting like Hitler, with hate in your heart towards others.

May God forgive you in your ignorance!”

Sporting homemade t-shirts with the slogans “Exceptional Bisexual” and “Born This Gay” on them, Kristyn Holleran and Nicole Spano of Toms River were happy to see such a sizeable turnout in favor of Pride.

“I saw the flyer on Facebook…and I didn’t love it,” said Holleran. “It’s a blue state but it’s kind of a red county so I didn’t expect to see this much support.”

Holleran joked that last year was known by many in the LGBTQ community as 20-“gay-teen” (2018), making this year 20-“Bi-teen” (2019).

On the opposing corner sat Levin and his supporters, a crowd only a fraction of the size of the Pride side. Members of the Jewish faith, with megaphone in hand, stated: “There is no pride in sin. America teaches you that you can do what you want and get away with it, but guess what?

There is a God in this world.”

These protesters toted signs preaching “self-control” and “holiness” as America’s principles.

Despite the videos and flyers, BlueClaws Pride went on as planned, with a match against Greensboro.

“The BlueClaws consider themselves an open and inclusive organization and member of the community,” said BlueClaws Team President Joe Ricciutti. “We want to show the LGBT community that they are welcome at BlueClaws games, and always will be welcome at BlueClaws games.”

Even Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer condemned the protest, citing the “Love Thy Neighbor” campaign, claiming there is “no place for hate in Ocean County.”

Bill Would Help More Americans Save For Retirement From The Desk Of

Congressman Andy Kim WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. House voted to pass a bill co-sponsored by

Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) which makes it easier for Americans to save for

retirement.

“Every American deserves the peace of mind of a secure retirement, and this bill is an important step forward towards ensuring that for millions,” said Congressman Kim. “I’m proud to stand with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to pass this legislation, and I’ll continue to work with people from both parties

to strengthen retirement benefits for all Americans.”

H.R. 1994, the SECURE Act, is a bipartisan bill that makes it easier for Americans to save for retirement by empowering small businesses to offer retirement plans to employees, helping provide retirement benefits to home care workers and allowing part-time workers to participate in a

401(k) plan.

“This bill is a win-win for our small businesses and the millions they employ in our country,” said Kristi Howell, President and CEO of the Burlington County Regional Chamber of Commerce and Co-Chair of Congressman Kim’s Small Business Advisory Council. “Small business owners work every day

Smith Honored For His Bipartisan Leadership In Fighting Anti-Semitism From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) was honored by the Anti-Defamation League with the America’s Democratic Legacy Award the organization’s highest honor - for his bipartisan leadership in Congress in fighting anti-Semitism around the world.

“It is a distinct honor to be here

with such great members of Congress who care deeply. Bipartisanship is not dead, as you can see,” said Smith, a founding co-chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism who was recognized with the award along with the seven other Task Force co-chairs. The Task Force

was recognized collectively, and each co-chair received an award individually from ADL’s Senior Vice President for Policy Eileen Hershenov.

Smith commended the hundreds of ADL members from across the country in attendance at the organization’s National Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., for their work in helping fight anti-Semitism.

“Your presence here today, your leadership makes all the difference in the world,” Smith said. “It inspires everyone to do more, to work across the aisle, to make sure

we combat anti-Semitism every time and everywhere it manifests its ugly face.”

“Combating anti-Semitism is a fundamental part of all basic human rights standards and international protocols,” said Smith, a lawmaker known for his leadership on international human rights. “Regrettably, I have to tell you, anti-Semitism is getting worse. The statistics clearly show a rise in anti-Semitic incidents in the Middle East, in Europe, and all over the world. So we need to raise our voices, and pass legislation that will put wholly an end to it.”

The America’s Democratic

Legacy Award was created 50 years ago to honor “those precious few individuals who have helped make our nation a place where freedom, equality and democracy are cherished rights forever.”

After receiving the award, Smith discussed a recent manifestation of anti-Semitism, illegitimate criticism of Israel.

He referenced former Soviet refusenik Natan Sharansky’s classification of anti-Semitic criticism of the State of Israel - the “three D’s” standard of “demonization, delegitimization, and double-standard.”

“We see the double-standard

Efforts Would Strengthen ‘Code Blue’ & Help NJ’s Homeless Get Support From The Desk Of

Senator Robert Singer TRENTON – The New Jersey Senate has passed legislation sponsored by Senator Robert Singer and Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean to ensure at-risk individuals who turn to a warming center for shelter during a Code Blue alert have access to lifesaving services during their stay.

The bill, S-3511, passed the

Senate on May 30, 2019.

“Although shelters often experience a higher demand during Code Blue season, more often than not, a person in crisis will show up during a snowstorm, and leave without knowing where to go next. We may not get another chance to help that person. That’s unacceptable,”

Singer said.

“People should have access to the support they need, when and where they need it. This bill will solve that problem, by ensuring the right personnel are on the ground, ready and willing to answer any questions and provide quality care to those in need, before the storm ends,” Singer added.

The passage of S-3511 represents another step forward in the Senators’ ongoing efforts to strengthen New Jersey’s Code Blue regulations, which were signed into law in 2017 by Governor Christie.

Just last February, Singer

and Kean answered local calls for action by introducing related legislation, S-3422, to change New Jersey’s Code Blue standards so that an alert is triggered at 32 degrees, regardless of precipitation.

Currently, a Code Blue is triggered when temperatures drop to 32 degrees with precipitation, or 25 degrees with no precipitation. That standard became especially problematic last December, when homeless people were turned away from warming centers in Toms River even though it was 27 degrees, because conditions were

freezing, but dry. Those stories, and the calls for action by local officials, prompted Senators Singer and Kean to introduce legislation to improve Code Blue.

The current Code Blue law also requires county offices of emergency management to coordinate with municipalities with a documented homeless population of at least 10 people to develop consistent Code Blue alert plans throughout the county.

After a county emergency management coordinator declares a Code Blue, local law enforcement officers are notified so they can go out

to make payroll and invest in their businesses. This bill will make it more affordable for small business owners to set up retirement plans and help set up thousands of retirement plans.”

The bill also provides tax relief to Gold Star families who saw tax rates rise due to provisions in the tax bill passed during the previous Congress.

all over the world, particularly at the United Nations where the Israelis are picked out when other countries like Sudan and the People’s Republic of China get a slap on the wrist, Israel is always in the cross-hairs and subject to demonization and delegitimization is ever-present,” Smith said.

The co-chairs of the Task Force, who were also honored, are Rep. Smith, Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY), Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY), Rep. Kay Granger (RTX), Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL), Rep. Marc Veasey (D-TX), Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA).

on patrols and locate at-risk individuals.

Senator Singer and Kean’s S-3511, as passed by the State Senate, would take Code Blue to the next level, by authorizing the New Jersey Commissioner of Health to establish guidelines for offering certain healthcare and social services to at-risk individuals at a warming center.

Under the bill, these services could include vaccinations, physical and mental health screenings, and referrals for substance abuse treatment and various social services.

S-3511 would also authorize a coordinator to create

K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital & Ocean Medical Center Recognized for Excellence in Lactation Care

NEPTUNE – Hackensack Meridian Health K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital and Ocean Medical Center were recently recognized for excellence in lactation care by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE) and International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA).

K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital and Ocean Medical Center received the IBCLC Care Award in recognition of staffing professionals who hold the prestigious International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) certification and providing a lactation program for breastfeeding families. In addition, both Hackensack Meridian Health hospitals demonstrated that they have recently completed activities that help protect, promote and support breastfeeding.

“As a Baby-Friendly Hospital, our team is committed to promoting and supporting breastfeeding,” said Cassandra Leahy, MSN, BA, RN, LCCE, IBCLC, clinical program manager, BFHI, director of Clinical Services, Center for Breastfeeding, Lactation Services, K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital. “Our families have access to breastfeeding education classes, lactation consultants, support groups and care at our Center for Breastfeeding. We want to help all families in New Jersey meet their infant feeding goals and achieve breastfeeding success.”

Roberto Issler, IBCLC chair of the Board of IBLCE, recently stated, “Agencies that are awarded the IBCLC Care Award have dedicated their efforts to promote and provide a lactation program that makes expert assistance available when the breastfeeding family needs it. This is achieved through encouraging and informing breastfeeding families about the benefits and management of breastfeeding as well as training health care professionals to assist families achieve their breastfeeding goals.”

“Breastfeeding is not only incredibly important for babies, but also for moms.

Babies receive the right nutrients to help them grow and develop, fight off infection, and improve digestion,” said Joanne Simonetti, RN, nurse manager, Maternal Child Services, Ocean Medical Center. “Moms benefit from stress reduction and increased bonding with their newborn, faster recovery from giving birth and it may even help in lowering moms’ risk of diabetes, breast and ovarian cancers.”

IBCLCs focus on preventive care, so they are available during pregnancy to assess and provide information on how to successfully initiate breastfeeding. They continue that assistance after the baby is born by helping families overcome breastfeeding challenges, providing accurate information, and continuing to support them as their baby grows. They assist families returning to work or school, help families in more unusual situations such as breastfeeding more than one baby or nursing a sick or premature infant, and help train nursing staff to manage basic breastfeeding care.

According to Mudiwah A. Kadeshe, president of ILCA, “IBCLCs work tirelessly in all corners of the globe to help parents provide optimal nutrition to their children.

We are proud to recognize some of these IBCLCs through the IBCLC Care Award, which highlights the significant contributions of IBCLCs to improving global health outcomes at the local level.”

In addition to finding IBCLC professionals at K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital and Ocean Medical Center, families can also find an IBCLC near them by visiting ilca.org. Follow the “Find a Lactation Consultant” link and search for an IBCLC by postal code, city and state, or country.

Scholarship Funds Available For OCC Students In Addiction Recovery

TOMS RIVER — In a move to directly impact students in addiction recovery attending Ocean County College, the Ammon Foundation has partnered with the OCC Foundation to make available $2,500 in scholarship awards for two students in recovery for the Fall 2019 semester. Scholarship applications can be submitted through August 16.

The funding for the scholarship has been made available via The Ammon Foundation’s Core Value Partnership Initiative, which strives to create intentional, mutually-beneficial and long-term partnerships to strategically support individuals in recovery. As an Education Partner, OCC joins with The Ammon Foundation in a one-to-one matching scholarship to remove financial barriers in place for an individual in recovery pursuing education.

The Ammon Foundation has allocated a minimum of $100,000 annually for scholarships to support individuals in recovery pursuing education via various pathways. Scholarship recipients become A m mon Recover y Scholars and are connected to a community of students in recovery, and offered free Peer Recovery Coaching and Professional Mentoring via the Foundations’ Community Engagement Initiative. The Foundation subscribes to the belief that when individuals in recovery are holistically supported to build purposeful lives, the likelihood of them maintaining their recovery substantially increases.

“As a woman in long-term recovery, Execut ive Di rector of T he A m mon Foundation, an Ocean County College alum, and a Trustee on the Ocean County College Foundation Board, I could not be more ecstatic about a partnership,” said Mariel Hufnagel. “All individuals

deserve access to education. Through innovative partnerships like this, we are able to better serve the marginalized and disenfranchised – not only removing barriers to education but providing hope by opening doors to a brighter future.”

In recent years, the OCC Foundation has expanded its outreach to partner with community leaders in business, industry, education, and government to reach a common goal to provide quality, affordable education to the students and to prepare them to assume their roles in our society. The accomplishments of the Foundation are a tribute to an unwavering belief in its mission by all who have participated to provide academic excellence that is accessible to all Ocean County residents.

“The Ocean County College Foundation is proud to participate in the Ammon Partnership for Recovery through Education Program,” remarked Kenneth Malagiere, Executive Director of the OCC Foundation. “With this scholarship, students can begin or make a fresh start on the road to higher education right here in Ocean County. Our Foundation has long been committed to the success of all of our scholarship recipients and we are looking forward to the witnessing the positive effect of this partnership on our student body.”

Beyond the matching scholarship, Ammon and OCC are also exploring various ways to work together and bring education and awareness about addiction and recovery to the campus and the community at large, and support to those in, or seeking, recovery.

OCC students in addiction recovery can visit ocean.academicworks.com/opportunities/2037 to apply for the scholarship funding.

—Photo courtesy EAA Young Eagles

By Kimberly Bosco WALL —Monmouth County saw 39 new young aviators take their first flight during the Young Eagles Flight Rally over the weekend.

Hosted by Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 315 of the North Jersey Shore, 39 boys and girls from 8 to 17 years old got to take a unique airplane ride at the event, held on June 8 at Monmouth Jet Center.

Created in 1992, the EAA Young Eagles Program is intended to incite interest in aviation among youth. In the past 27 years, EAA pilots have taken over 2 million kids, from over 90 countries, on flights. Since 2004, Chapter 315 has flown more than 640 kids at local airports in Monmouth, Lakewood, and Old Bridge.

The annual event is free to participants. The pilots volunteer their time to take participants on a flight and teach them all they want to know

about the airplanes. The young aviation enthusiasts learned what makes an airplane fly, what it takes to get a pilot’s license, and what career possibilities exist in the world of aviation. They even got a chance to see a WWII L-2 spotter airplane, educational displays from the New Jersey Aviation Education Council, and more.

After the flight, each participant received a logbook and a certificate making him or her an official Young Eagle. Their names will then be entered into the “World’s Largest Logbook,” which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. You can also find it online at youngeagles.org.

For more information on EAA or the Young Eagles Program, visit eaa.org or youngeagles. org. Follow the local Chapter 315 page at facebook.com/EAAChapter315.

Fire Safety For Those With Hearing Loss

There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearing Americans who cannot rely on traditional sound-oriented smoke detectors and therefore, are at a disadvantage. Decreased hearing can limit a person’s ability to take quick action and escape during a fire emergency. Those with hearing loss need to take extra precautions to protect themselves from the hazards of home fire. This includes being aware of the availability of f lashing and/or vibrating smoke alarms and having an effective escape plan in place.

Have the proper alerting system.

Smoke detectors are not doing their job if you cannot hear them. Consider the following statistics: 20 percent of home fires occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., yet these fires account for more than half of all home fire deaths. Something to keep in mind: most smoke detectors produce a relatively high frequency (3000 kHz) sound. Recent studies have revealed that this frequency is not particularly effective in waking up children, heavy sleepers, those taking sleeping pills or other medication and those who have had too much to drin k.

In addition, high frequency alarms are almost completely ineffective in alerting people with high frequency hearing loss, accounting for about 90 percent of people with hearing loss and all deaf people. Install a f lashing or vibrating smoke alarm on every level of your home. Test all

smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries at least once a year.

People with hear ing loss are at greater risk from night time f ires because their hearing instr uments are typically out of their ears when sleeping. Not all alerting devices meet every need but some do come close.

The ideal device would not only sound an alarm but also f lash a light and vibrate the bed. This would alert the three most important senses simultaneously. There are a great number of smoke detectors designed specifically for those with a hearing impairment.

Light-tone HL bedside fire alarm and clock alerts you by sounding a loud low frequency and vibrating the bed.

The combination of the low frequency alarm sounding and the bed shaking wakes even heavy sleepers. Silent call makes great aler ting systems that work with more than just smoke detectors.

Plan you escape: An important tip is not to isolate yourself. Inform family members, the building manager or a neighbor of your fire safety plan and practice it with them. Contact you local fire department on a non-emergency phone number and explain your special needs. They can help with your escape plan, perform a home inspection and offer suggestions about smoke alar m placement. They can also keep your information on file.

For more infor mation about f ire safety, visit www.usfa.fema.gov.

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Your Medication May Deplete Life-Giving Hormones

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

DHEA is dubbed the “Fountain of Youth” hormone, and it is produced in high quantities during your younger years. After age 30, it slowly begins to decline. It may eventually flat-line, especially if you are under a lot of stress, or you take a popular medication category called a “statin” which is for cholesterol management.

DHEA stands for dehydroepiandrosterone and it’s a naturally-made steroid. There are synthetic versions available for supplementation, however I don’t recommend you do that without first speaking to a bio-identical hormone expert.

It is what’s known as an “androgen” hormone, think of that as a manly hormone, so it can cause male-pattern hair growth. In women this can be very unsettling, think of facial hair, and loss of scalp hair, or deepening of the voice, acne, missed periods and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome).

Much of the research is done on higher levels (ie how to reduce elevated DHEA).

A glaring omission is low DHEA due to medication use. There are several medications that can deplete levels of DHEA, thus aging you faster. One such category is statin cholesterol medications. If you take a statin, you should definitely speak to your physician about restoring your DHEA, either through supplementation or prescription hormones.

Taking statins can deplete DHEA, it’s what I call the ‘drug mugging’ effect, where a drug mugs a nutrient or essential life-giving hormone. With statin use, you become

deficient in DHEA. There are studies to show this.

Low DHEA can cause a lot of damage in the body because it is a precursor to your sex hormones. Therefore, low DHEA means low testosterone and low estrogen.

DHEA is what turns into those hormones.

If you’re a man and run out of testosterone, it’s likely because you have run low on DHEA (the precursor). Low testosterone causes you to feel weak, tired, apathetic, uninterested. It causes a loss in bone mass, meaning higher risk of fractures and broken bones if you trip! The medical term for men is andropause and menopause for women.

Also, you may gain some belly weight, and lose muscle mass. Again, this happens to both men and women actually, just look at a picture of yourself at 35 and a picture at 55 and you’ll see the difference.

DHEA forms estrogen, so a post-menopausal woman (who would have reduced estrogen) may experience hot flashes, anxiety, weight gain, sadness, depression, fatigue and lack of motivation.

Low DHEA might be the result of your medication, and restoring it would be easy, so long as you go slow and start with low doses. Remember, DHEA is sold overthe-counter. Taking it is solely up to you, and your practitioners. The dose is not one-size fits all. If you accidentally take too much DHEA, it could increase risk of hormone-driven cancers and may exacerbate psychiatric problems (mania) so I’m not able to advise you on how much DHEA to take, what form or what type.

Elks Planning for 25th Annual Fishing Tournament

POINT PLEASANT – Point Pleasant Elks Lodge’s Fluke Tournament Committee have begun making plans for the 25th Annual Fluke Tournament to be held this year on Saturday, July 27, 2019. Over the past 24 years, this tournament has received outstanding recognition from anglers throughout the Tri-State area and has grown to be the largest single port fluke fishing Tournament in the State of New Jersey.

For the 12th year, in addition to our regular power boat tournament, we are having a Kayak fishing division. This Division will have separate prizes. Prizes for this division will be announced at a later date. The entry fee is $50 per kayak which will also include one ticket to the awards picnic.

This year John Veprek will again be chairing the event, and he and his committee are hoping to make this year’s event the biggest and best ever. It is planned that the total prize money for the Power Boat division will again this year will be $10,000 with $4,500 for the first place fish based on 250 entries. There will also be a prize for the largest fish caught by an Elk member who is in good standing. They must show their membership card at weight in, and an award

for a child 14 years old or younger.

There is a boat registration fee of $145 for 4 anglers: $25 for each additional angler. All registered anglers will receive free Awards Picnic food coupons.

The Captain’s Meeting which will be held on Friday night, July 26. There will be picnic food available for purchase on the night of this meeting also. The Awards picnic will be held on the Lodge grounds following the Tournament on the 27. Family and friends of the anglers are welcome to attend the picnic at a nominal fee.

The business community in Point Pleasant, Point Pleasant Beach and the surrounding area has been very generous every year in its support of this Tournament. The Elks would welcome any Corporations or Businesses that wish to become new sponsors by donating prizes or services to this worthwhile project to raise funds to support our Lodge and our charities so that we can continue carrying on with our charitable work with the special needs children, our veterans, our youth programs and out scholarship programs.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law CALL TO ACTION! TIME IS RUNNING OUT. S-2432/A-5371 Permits recovery of uncompensated medical expenses in civil action that result from motor vehicle accidents This Bill (S-2432/A-5371) is now Governor Murphy’s desk for his consideration. We urge you to call Governor Murphy NOW and tell him to sign this Bill.

(609) 292-6000.

The New Jersey Association for Justice and R.C. Shea & Associates strongly support S-2432/A-5371, which will allow victims of motor vehicle accidents to seek payment for medical expenses that may exceed insurance coverage they have under Personal Injury Protection coverage (PIP).

This bill is needed in light of the New Jersey Supreme Court decision in Haines v. Taft, which limits payments for medical care to the insured’s PIP limits with no regard to the actual extent of the injuries sustained and the cost of treatment and care. In many cases, and especially for those lower-income individuals who followed the law and shopped for an insurance policy they could afford, that PIP limit is as little as $15,000.

This decision discriminates against those in New Jersey who do not have the financial resources to buy high levels of insurance or PIP coverage.

Robert C. Shea Esq.

As Justice Barry T. Albin said in his dissenting opinion in the case, the decision “will have a catastrophic impact on the right of low-income automobile accident victims to recover their medical costs from the wrongdoers who cause their injuries. The decision leaves innocent automobile accident victims without the legal right to sue negligent and reckless drivers for recovery of their unpaid medical bills – medical bills that will bankrupt some and financially crush others.”

The majority decision in Haines invited the Legislature to step in and correct this unjust situation and S-2432/A-5371 does precisely that. This bill would clarify that the Legislative intent is that a victim injured in an auto accident should not be left with crushing medical bills and no legal recourse against the tortfeasor.

The public policy of the state of New Jersey simply cannot be that consumers risk potential bankruptcy or financially devastating medical bills in exchange for lower premiums.

Injured auto accident victims should not be left to pay for the medical care necessitated by the negligent actions of those who have injured them.

Around The Jersey Shore Three New Shows Added To Grunin Center Summer Lineup

TOMS RIVER — Summer is heating up at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts! Tickets are on sale now for three new shows just added to the summertime lineup: The Boomer Boys, Basement Musicians: A Walk Down Memory Lane, and OCC Repertory Theatre Company Presents “Into the Woods.”

The Grunin Center is located on the OCC Main Campus, on College Drive in Toms River.

The Boomer Boys: June 22 at 5 p.m. Tickets: $22–$27 Meet The Boomer Boys! In this hilarious musical revue, a fun-loving “fat pack” of middle age men realize that the best way to deal with getting older is to laugh about it with your friends. That’s exactly what these guys do as they navigate everything from the depths of expanding waistlines to the heights of Viagra. Ladies, now is your chance to find out what men are really thinking as this hilarious evening of songs covers everything from snoring and hair loss to weight gain and lost car keys. If a hysterical night of songs, jokes and stories is on your to-do list, spend a night with The Boomer Boys!

Basement Musicians: A Walk Down Memory Lane: June 29 at 8 p.m. Tickets: $25. The Basement Musicians are lead singer Tony Pileggi and a group of central and southern NJ family men, including Joe Stamboni on lead guitar and Bill Doerge on base guitar and upright bass. They perform the best of the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s classic rock, country, and folk music. They perform the music of great artists like Neil Diamond, The Mon-

kees, Gordon Lightfoot, Bee Gees, Roy Orbison, Elvis, Beatles, Jim Croce, John Denver, Johnny Cash, Everly Brothers, and many more. The Basement Musicians play the music they love and do it very well. They have been performing at the Grunin Center since 2013.

OCC Repertory Theatre Company Presents “Into the Woods”: July 11–21. Tickets: Adults $26, Seniors $17. The OCC Repertory Theatre Company takes the stage for their summer musical with an epic fairytale about wishes, family, and the choices we make. “Into the Woods” tells the story of a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Directed by Paul Chalakani.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 15 - june 21

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Beautify your surroundings in the upcoming week. You could have some great decorating ideas or use a creative touch to rearrange things in a more appealing and efficient manner. Whatever you envision you can achieve.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Food prepared with care is always better than instant.

In the week to come you may expect instant gratification of some of your desires. You might appreciate whatever you get more though, if you take time to savor the process.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Words are like water and are often better when filtered.

You could be so enthused about something or someone that you say whatever pops into your head. In the upcoming week it would be wise to be more mindful and discreet.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It may be difficult to put email or texts into context. You may need to adapt to a variety of responses to avoid misunderstandings. In the week ahead everyone might be a happy-go-lucky mood except for your partner who is focused on getting ahead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your goals and objectives can become supersized in the upcoming week. You may see unlimited opportunities in every encounter. At the same time, you will easily be able to compartmentalize your job and other responsibilities to keep it all in balance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might suffer from news fatigue. Take a break from depressing headlines and scandal-ridden newsfeeds in the week to come. Instead, fill your

mind with uplifting and inspiring material that deepens your inner peace.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the week ahead, a down-to-earth and highly specific approach works best to counteract sweeping statements and broad generalizations. A partner could be romantic but fickle, so enjoy but keep your eyes open for yellow or red flags.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Dig deep and use your visualization abilities to manifest financial success. It could be difficult to curtail expenditures because your attitude might be that bigger is better.

Close companions could act in surprising ways.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As the week unfolds you may experience exhilaration or an epiphany. Even in the best of times, though, you still need to keep up with the maintenance and mundane tasks of daily life. Routine chores help keep you well-grounded.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Someone might not take you seriously in the week ahead.

Your strategies and agendas may gain little traction and your attempts to exert control over a situation might fall flat for now. Be patient, all things in time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Overcome adversity by having faith in a positive outcome.

You and a partner could frustrate one another in the upcoming week since one of you acts as the brakes and the other one has a foot on the gas pedal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): This may be a good week to study chaos theory. Although there may be mix-ups and confusion somehow you will emerge into a better place. Your sensitivity and sympathetic concern for others can be overdone.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen

Dessert For Dad

By Wolfgang Puck With four sons ranging in age from 12 1/2 to 30, I always look forward to Father’s Day. And even though I often enjoy preparing food at home for my boys and my wife Gelila, I’m happy to say that all of my offspring enjoy cooking themselves - especially my second son, Byron, who completed a culinary degree and has joined the restaurant world.

So, chances are that on Father’s Day I’ll be reaping the benefits that so many dads enjoy: being treated to a meal that my kids cook. I hope if you’re a dad yourself, or are planning a special day for your father or husband, that cooking will figure into your family’s plans too.

Often, and traditionally, there’s some sort of backyard barbecuing, a natural with grilling season just started. Of course, by default, Dad usually becomes the one who has to mastermind the Father’s Day cookout, since the outdoor grill is traditionally thought of as his responsibility. (Of course, there are also many women who love to grill!)

But I’d like to suggest a different sort of cooking activity this year; one that doesn’t require building a fire or Dad getting smoke in his eyes. Instead, how about staying in the kitchen, preheating the oven and baking a pie?

It’s hard to find a dad who doesn’t enjoy a slice of homemade pie, especially when it’s one featuring the best produce of the season. At this time of year, that usually means strawberries.

Most of the strawberry pies you see, though, are of the fresh, cold variety: a prebaked pie shell filled with whole glazed berries and topped with whipped cream. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, except it’s called a pie primarily because a pastry shell is its serving vehicle.

So instead, why not bake a pie that’s filled with bubbling hot berries?

One reason you don’t see many strawberry pies with a baked filling is that the berries on their own break down quickly and reduce to something resembling strawberry jam. I prefer doing what my mother and grandmother did: combining the strawberries with chunks of rhubarb.

Rhubarb is a reddish stalk resembling celery in shape, but it has a wonderfully tart taste. When sweetened with some sugar, the flavor harmonizes beautifully with the strawberries and gives the finished pie filling wonderful body. In fact, in years past, some cooks referred to rhubarb as “pie plant.” You can find fresh rhubarb in most well-stocked markets. (Just be sure to trim off all traces of the leaves, which contain toxic compounds.)

May you enjoy this pie on Father’s Day with your family, as I hope to do with mine. Thank you, Cameron, Byron, Oliver and Alexander!

RHUBARB-STRAWBERRY PIE Make 2 pies 1 recipe Pie Dough (recipe follows), or 2 rounds frozen ready-to-use pie dough BROWN SUGAR CRUMBLE WITH OATS AND ALMONDS: 1 pound (500 g) unsalted butter, cut into even cubes and chilled 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) whole-wheat flour 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour 1 1/4 cups (310 mL) packed dark brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) old-fashioned rolled oats 1 cup (250 mL) sliced almonds RHUBARB-STRAWBERRY PIE FILLING: 6 cups (1.5 L) washed, trimmed, and chopped rhubarb stalks, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces 2 cups (500 mL) strawberries, stemmed, left whole if small, halved or quartered if large

1 1/2 cups (375 mL) granulated sugar 5 tablespoons plus L teaspoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Grated zest of 1/2 lemon Juice of 1/2 lemon Prepare the pie dough in advance.

When ready to make the pies, preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Meanwhile, on a lightly floured work surface, roll out the two discs of dough to circles large enough to fill the bottom and sides and slightly overlap the rim of two 9-inch (22.5-cm) deep-dish pie plates.

Loosely roll up each circle around the rolling pin and then drape and unroll it over a pie plate; gently press into each plate and trim even with the rim. Flute the edges with your thumb and forefinger.

Place foil, parchment paper, or paper coffee filters over the raw dough and fill with pie weights, uncooked rice or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes; then, carefully lift out the paper and weights and bake until light golden, about 10 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and leave the oven on.

While the shells are baking, make the crumble. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the flours, brown sugar, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Mix on medium speed. Add the chilled butter, and continue mixing until it forms crumbs.

Add the oats and almonds, and continue until the mixture looks like granola. Spread the mixture on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.

For the filling, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Add the rhubarb, berries, salt, lemon zest and juice, and stir until evenly coated. Transfer to 1 or 2 large nonreactive skillets and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit begins giving up its juices.

Raise the heat to medium-high and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches a boil and the liquid starts thickening. Remove from the heat and ladle directly into the prebaked pie shells. Do not overfill. Cool and refrigerate any extra filling to serve as a cold compote.

Sprinkle the crumble over the pies, place on a baking sheet, and transfer to the oven. Bake until the crumble and the edges of the pastry are deep golden brown and the filling is thick and bubbling, about 45 minutes. If the rim appears to be browning too quickly, cover carefully with pie shields or strips of heavy-duty aluminum foil.

When the pies are done, remove from the oven to wire racks. Serve warm or at room temperature, with vanilla ice cream or lightly whipped creme fraiche.

PIE DOUGH Makes enough for 2 single-crust 9-inch (22.5-cm) pies 4 1/2 cups (1.125 kg) all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 pound (500 g) unsalted butter, cut into even cubes and chilled 1/2 cup (125 mL) plus 2 tablespoons ice-cold water 1 teaspoon Champagne vinegar In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Set aside.

Put all the dry ingredients into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Pulse to combine. Add the butter, and pulse until the mixture is broken up to the size of peas.

Mix the water and vinegar together, and add the mixture through the feed tube of the food processor. Immediately begin pulsing on and off until the mixture that forms begins to climb the side of the bowl.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and continue kneading gently by hand until a smooth dough forms. Cut the dough in half, pat it into two even discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
