Cops: Speeders Trying To Bypass Rt. 70

Don’t miss what’s happening in your town.

By Jennifer Peacock LAKEHURST – He didn’t have a name, but people complained about him sleeping on the job.

Someone even brought him a box of donuts.

Mayor Harry Robbins and Business Administrator Stephen Childers recalled at a recent Bor-

ough Council meeting how the police department set up a dummy in a marked patrol car - uniform and all - and placed it strategically around Union Avenue to deter speeders.

This happened years ago, well before Eric Higgins became chief.

So, the borough got complaints that this “of f icer ” was r ude when he didn’t waive back to one resident who was trying to be friendly. People called to report that this “officer” was asleep on the job. The dummy had slumped over.

At least no one thought he was dead, or if they did, they didn’t bother reporting it.

One resident was so impressed with this “of f ic e r’s” p e r fo rmance, he or she left a box of a dozen donuts on the car for him. Or, (Cops - See Page 22)

form an accurate count of every individual living in the US. The census will take place next on April 1, 2020.

On August 7, Ocean County officials came together with members of the US Census Bureau and New York Regional Census Center to introduce the 2020 Complete Count Committee and give residents a run-down of how the intake works.

“Participation is critical,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari.

“The results of the Census determine how Congress is apportioned and how federal and state funding is distributed. These two factors are key in us obtaining our fair share of funding for vital programs and services.”

Vicari, who is helping to lead the County’s 2020 Census Count efforts, noted that the decennial census is “extremely important,” serving as the “blueprint of what’s going to take place in Ocean County.”

This is Vicari’s third go-around with Ocean County’s Census Count as a longtime public official.

“We have roughly 600,000 people in Ocean County, we want to make sure that every person is counted,” he said.

The Census Is Safe, Easy, and Important Presenting at the kickoff meeting was Jeff Behler, Director of the New York Regional Census Center. The New York Regional Census Center is one of six census data The General’s

a stranger, thus many might avoid participating altogether for this reason.

Behler emphasized: your information is safe. You will be required only to provide your name, date of birth, race and ethnicity, whether or not you are of Hispanic origin, gender, or whether or not you own or rent a home. No Social Security Numbers are needed.

“Every piece of data we collect…is protected by federal law,” he explained.

“Title XIII states that we cannot release information to anyone that would identify an individual or household. Period.”

No federal agency, not Homeland Security, ICE, or even the Patriot Act, can supersede the protection of census data.

“We take this seriously, the public’s trust is the foundation of everything we do,” said Behler. He also noted that he, or anybody working with census data, faces up to five years in prison should confidentiality be breached.

Behler’s last point was this: the census is important.

“It’s representation. It’s funding,” said Behler. “US House of Representatives, the amount of seats each state has in Congress, is based upon census data.”

Head Start, National School Lunch program, food stamps, Section 8 housing – these are just a few examples of the hundreds of federally funded programs that could be affected by census data.

The federal government distributes more than $675 billion in funding each year to states for services and programs such as these.

“This equates to about $2,548 per New Jersey resident for important infrastructure improvements, senior services, public health, education, transportation, including block grant programs, such as Superstorm Sandy Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Grants,” Vicari said. “Better participation means more funding.”

“States receive funding based upon formulas that use the census data, so we have to get it right,” Behler added.

Who Is Counted Ideally, every single Ocean County resident will be counted in the 2020 Census, with only a few exceptions.

According to Ryan Edwards, Partnership Specialist with the US Census Bureau, you will be counted based on “wherever you are on April 1 [Census Day],” which also includes those in Ocean County without a permanent residence.

In the case of “snowbirds,” locals that migrate south during the winter season, they will also be counted.

“It’s where you reside for most of the year, so if you just go down for the winter,” you will be counted as an Ocean County resident, said Edwards.

“The guiding principal for the Census is “usual residence” which is defi ned as the place where the person lives and sleeps most of the time,” Vicari said. “So with more than 170,000 seniors living in Ocean County, it is important our snowbirds who live in Ocean County most of the year are

collecting agencies in the US, alongside Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, and Atlanta.

Behler provided an overview of what it means to participate.

“A lot of censuses are national but we have to work with people at the local level,” in order to obtain an accurate representation, said Behler.

Some ways that the Census Bureau is doing this is by hiring locally to work within the individual communities to survey and collect census data. The 2020 Census team will be presenting Ocean County residents with anywhere from 1,400-1,500 job openings to help with this.

Not only this, but officials are looking for those who speak other languages to help facilitate the process for those residents who may not speak English as their fi rst language.

Paying $20 per hour, jobs are available for nights and weekends for approximately 6-10 weeks. Interested candidates can fi nd more information at 2020census.gov/jobs.

Behler also used his time to help quell some fears that County residents may have about giving out personal information.

By using members of the local community to work with the government to procure census data, Behler noted that it helps to better foster trust.

“We’re asking our partners to start the census conversation and that conversation is that the census is safe, the census is easy, and the census is important,” said Behler.

It might be uncomfortable or scary for some to provide personal information to

Residents will be asked to vote for this question on the ballot in November.

“This proposal will not increase the open space tax that is currently in place,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines, who serves as liaison to the county’s Natural Lands program. “But what it does provide is more flexibility within the program…It would assist in our efforts to develop further some of our parks like the Barnegat Branch Trail, for example,” she said. “Also it would help in our efforts of historic preservation for such important buildings like the Cox House in Barnegat Township.”

According to Haines, the program’s fi rst priority will always be acquisition of open space in Ocean County.

However, this isn’t the case for college students. Behler explained that college students that typically live at home with their parents during winter breaks and summer months should be counted as residing at their school, wherever that may be.

“Our tagline is count every one, and only

The Manchester Times, August 24, 2019, Page 5 At the August 7 meeting, the Board of Chosen Freeholders approved placing the question on the ballot.

The ballot question will read: “Shall the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust, which was approved and established by referendum in 1997, be expanded to permit use of the Trust Fund not only for open space preservation purposes and farmland preservation purposes, but also allow for the acquisition, development and maintenance for recreational and historic preservation purposes?”

According to Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director John P. Kelly, the Natural Lands Trust currently only allows for Trust Fund money to be used to acquire and maintain land for the purpose of open space preservation or for the preservation of farmland.

“This is a very successful program,” Kelly said. “This proposed change builds on its success by allowing additional uses

for the money specifically for recreational and historic preservation.”

In the past, the program has been useful in saving environmentally sensitive areas, in providing buffers for Joint Base McGuire, Dix Lakehurst and for curbing some development.

Anthony Agliata, Ocean County Planning Director, noted that many counties and municipalities that have open space programs allow for the funds to be used for recreational and historic preservation purposes including almost all 15 municipalities in Ocean County that have an open space program.

“The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund currently allocates 1.2 cents per $100 of assessed land for the open space tax,” Agliata said. “There will be no increase to taxpayers. The question only expands the use of the existing Trust Fund.”

The Ocean County Natural Lands Trust

Fund Advisory Committee was formally established in 1998 at which time general guidelines were developed for considering properties to be preserved. In order to be considered, a property must be formally nominated, purchased only from willing sellers, and the sale must have the approval of the local governing body.

In this way, the program was able to preserve the Forked River Mountains in Lacey Township, allowing it to remain in the public domain and as open space into perpetuity.

“This property totaling almost 8,000 acres is surrounded by thousands of acres of preserved land and was the largest property in single private ownership left in the county,” Haines said. “By expanding the scope of the open space program we can use some of the money to better maintain these properties and provide additional recreational opportunities to our citizens and visitors.”

community leaders, faith-based groups, schools, businesses, media outlets and others.

From now until Census Day, April 1, 2020, officials will be working to mobilize the community, advertise the census campaign, and encourage self-response i.e. response on paper, phone, or online.

Those who wish to learn more about the 2020 Census, how to participate, or how to become involved in the campaign, visit 2020census.gov.

How To Participate Ocean County residents can choose one of four ways to respond to the 2020 Census: on paper, online, over the phone, or through canvassing.

If you choose to respond over the phone, the Census Bureau is now doing so in 13 languages including English.

“These 13 languages make up 99 percent of the population,” said Behler.

Officials have been working on generating information and awareness for the 2020 Census since 2018. It begins with the establishment of Complete Count Committees.

Ocean County established its Committee was established on March 6, which consists of representatives from Ocean County Government Departments, municipalities, non-profits and service organizations,

Anne Brokin of Manchester was enjoying watching “Pixie,” a tiny gray kitten who

was among several cats being showcased for adoption at the Ocean County Animal Facilities booth that was strategically placed near the front of the building as entrants came into the fair.

“I’m a nurse and I like to pick up information on new medications and I wanted to also pick up some information for my nephew about the animal shelter,” Brokin said. She was among the early arrivals at the event.

“We have two facilities, one in Jackson and

another in Manahawkin,” said Sean Fitzgerald, a supervisor at Ocean County Animal Facilities.

“We currently have 29 cats and five dogs up for adoption and we are here to bring awareness of what we do at our shelters. We are also here to promote our half price adoption day at both our facilities,” Fitzgerald added.

Ocean County Animal Facilities offers free rabies clinics by appointment on Wednesdays from 11-11:30 a.m. at both its locations. The Jackson facility can be reached at 732-6578096 while the Manahawkin location can be reached by calling 609-978-0127.

“Many seniors benefit from the companionship of pets,” High said.

Jessica Nylen, who works as a health education representative for the county Health Department said that while this was the first health fair aimed at senior citizens, the department also offers a Latino Health Fair each September and a health fair for minorities in April. Both are held at the same location.

“We worked together as a team to put this on and we are very excited about the turnout. I know we will be doing this again in the future,” Field Representative Lauren Petraglia said.

Fellow Field Representative Kelly Larney said that the event which was held from 9 a.m. to noon had “75 to 100 people so far,” and that was before 9:30 a.m.

Peter Curatolo, chief of administrative services of the Ocean County Health Department could not have been more pleased with the event’s turnout or the variety of vendors/ agencies who came out to make it a success.

“We have state offices represented here today. We also have information about diabetes, health care, cholesterol and blood pressure screenings. We have buses pulling up with residents from all across the county.

We are very eager to do this again next year,” Curatolo said.

Curatolo said his department recognizes the diverseness of Ocean County. “We want everyone from our 600,000-member community here in Ocean County to feel at home, to have a medical home, and that they have a sympathetic ear and to know that there is someone here to answer their questions about health.”

Jackson resident Karen Boyd learned about the event from reading The Jackson Times and was enjoying the event. “I’m waiting to have a free hearing test done. I picked up a lot of information and they had refreshments.”

Doug Steffy of Barnegat said, “many times you come to things like this and you learn about so many new medicines and how you can adopt a better healthier lifestyle.”

Abby Thompson, a Youth Prevention Manager for the DART Prevention Coalition which partners with RWJ Barnabas Health, was promoting what her agency does.

DART is comprised of community leaders including law enforcement and government officials, educators, business owners, treatment providers, clergy and youth to focus on preventing underage drinking, prescription drug misuse, and illegal use of marijuana and tobacco.

Her message to seniors at the event was to bring awareness of prescription drug disposal methods for medicines that had expired. “We want seniors to be aware of the safe methods to dispose of their medicines to make sure they don’t end up in the hands of others who may misuse them,” Thompson said.

Health Department representative Claudia Ganopoulos provided attendees with information about Medicare and various senior care issues. For information call 732-9292091. “We help with everything that touches seniors’ health,” Ganopoulos said.

Residents Warned About Bill That Would Increase Flood Insurance Rates CAPITOL COMMENTS 10th Legislative District Senator Jim Holzapfel • Assemblyman Greg McGuckin • Assemblyman Dave Wolfe

TRENTON – Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Greg McGuckin and Dave Wolfe of the 10th Legislative District are warning residents of a House bill sponsored by U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters,

D-Calif., that would allow flood premiums to increase by as much as 18 percent annually for primary residents and as much as 25 percent for temporary residents.

“Following Hurricane San-

dy, our residents chose to stay, rebuild and reinvest in the Jersey Shore,” said Senator Holzapfel. “Now the Federal Government is punishing these homeowners by attempting to skyrocket f lood insurance rates for both primary and secondary residents. Our fear is that this will force even more residents to leave the state for a more affordable option.”

The House bill comes as a response to reports that New Jersey is facing a warming

climate; however the 10th District Legislators believe projects to protect coastal areas from rising sea levels and flooding are more effective than raising premiums into the double digits.

“It is completely unfair for a lawmaker who represents California to have any impact on the wallets of the residents within our district,” added Assemblyman McGuckin.

“These residents aren’t millionaires, as Maxine Waters would assume, in some

cases they are seniors on fixed incomes who have been deemed by FEMA to be living within a flood zone. They simply cannot afford another increase to their rates.”

Since Hurricane Sandy hit the Jersey Shore in 2012, the Army Corps of Engineers have replenished beaches and reinforced dunes to protect residents and businesses making them less vulnerable to flooding. In addition, revised flood maps provided by FEMA have forced residents

to take action by raising their homes and improving infrastructure.

“Many of our residents have taken the necessary precautions in order to protect their properties such as raising their homes and relying beach replenishments to stop coastal flooding,” stated Wolfe. “Some have spent an exorbitant amount of money to protect their homes and they do not need another bill from the Federal Government.”

NJ Transit Cancellations, Performance Will Be Online From The Desk Of The

Governor Phil Murphy TRENTON - Governor Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No. 80, requiring NJ TRANSIT rail performance metrics to be shared with the public monthly through the agency’s website. This step forward in providing transparency and accountability for commuters follows from a number of the findings in the independent audit of the agency’s operations ordered by the Governor and released in October 2018.

“Improving communication with customers has been among the most important objectives in our efforts to improve NJ TRANSIT performance, safety, and reliability,” said Governor Murphy. “The step we’re taking today requiring performance metrics to be released monthly will give rail commuters the information they need to make informed decisions and provide accountability to the public in

real time.”

“As the Board Chair of NJ TRANSIT, I am a firm believer in transparency and enhanced metrics to measure our progress toward improved service,” said Transportation Commissioner and NJ TRANSIT Board Chair Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti. “Formalizing the reporting requirements through an executive order ensures that NJ Transit will be held accountable for its performance for administrations to come.”

“When I arrived at NJ TRANSIT, I found a hollowed out, severely neglected organization which hampered our ability to deliver the service our customers rightfully expect and de-

our customers are. Increased transparency and improved metrics will hold our organization accountable at all times.”

The key performance metrics contained in the monthly releases will include the total number of cancellations each month and a listing of the specific types of cancellations, on time rail performance and mean distance between failures of each NJ TRANSIT line, and other

information that the Commissioner of Transportation deems appropriate to inform commuters of commuter rail performance.

NJ TRANSIT will provide the public with a uniform progress report beginning with data from October 2019, to be released in November 2019. The release will also include historical month-by-month information dating back to January 2017.

As a result, we are rapidly restoring the depleted ranks of employees and seeing improved performance that indicates we’ve turned a corner.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Giant Leap Awaits Next Step In Space Exploration It was with great fanfare and acclai m that Americans recently celebr at ed t he 50 t h A nniversary of the Moon Landing. In1969, it was easy to rally around the dream of putting a man on the Moon when it was part of an intense scientific and innovative race against the Russians, but as the Space Race wound down, so too did widespread interest.

The United States went to the moon not because the public demanded it, but because presidents and Congress believed it served a greater political purpose during the Cold War. Un fo r t u n a t el y, t h e public’s enthusiasm and support was short-lived after Apollo 11. The program did not receive the same enthusiastic public and political suppor t.

T he levels of fe de r al spending which NASA had received had become u ntenable to a public which had become f inancially wary and disillusioned. The final three missions, Apollos 18,19, and 20, with hardware already built, and crews selected, were abruptly cancelled.

Currently, there is a renewed interest in returning to the moon and

beyond, mainly due to the national pride experienced 50 years ago and now revitalized. We must thank Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins, and Buzz A ld r i n for re m i nd i ng us of the importance of science and technology to our civilization.

The reasons for visiting the moon and potentially, other planets and bodies in our solar system, are numerous. They would be the greatest scientific endeavors of our exist e nce, al low i ng u s t o further understand the creation of our planet and solar system.

Returning to the moon a nd beyond w ill u lt imately help us process and address another issue of great concern: the health of our big blue marble, planet Earth.

It is my hope that the current enthusiasm and interest in the space program will not be shortlived once again, but the start of a new space race to the Moon and beyond.

As Isaac Newton wrote in the 17th century, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Mike Collins, Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong are those giants.

Barnegat’s Democracy In Jeopardy Democracy is in jeopardy here in Barnegat. Two instances occurred causing great concern on the health of our democracy and the willingness of people to have an open mind.

First: Our elected representative for CD3, Congressman Andy Kim, was scheduled to speak on Aug. 29 at Mirage, as approved by their Board of Trustees. His agenda was to talk about his activities in Washington and to listen to residents’ comments and concerns. The Mirage Board rescinded their invitation because they received several threatening emails and calls from residents who were outraged, demanding that Rep. Kim not be allowed to speak. The cancellation of this event is disgraceful and those residents should be ashamed of themselves. Congressman Kim is our duly elected representative who is trying to make himself accessible to his constituents, which is the exact opposite of what his predecessor did.

Second: On Aug. 6 at the Barnegat Township Committee meeting, Mayor Al Cirulli “preached” a 20-plus minute “sermon” opposing new legislation for middle/ high school curriculums to include instruction on the political/economic/social contributions of people with disabilities and the LGBTQ community. One would have thought we were in church having “fire and brimstone” thrown at us. Cirulli said this law was “…an affront to Almighty God.” At that meeting I reminded him that in this country we have a separation of church and state. The mayor frequently violates that requirement and invokes the name of Jesus Christ in many of his speeches. He is the mayor representing a governmental body and religion has no place in our government. In fact, he has refused to officiate over gay marriages.

Letters To The Editor Officiating at marriages is back any longer by regres- night the 26th, and the two a mayoral function, and if he refuses to perform that function, he should resign.

In fact, I would call for his resignation now in view of his complete intolerance of the LGBTQ community.

Why I’m Running For Assembly I’m Wayne Lewis, and I’m running for the General Assembly in New Jersey’s 9th Legislative District. I never thought I’d ever run for a seat in the Legislature, but the social, economic, and ecological crisis facing our state, and planet will not wait. That is why I chose to run.

I graduated from Temple University with a bachelor’s in biochemistry/biophysics and went on to earn two graduate degrees from Penn State. I worked as an adjunct professor at Penn State before I fell in love with South Jersey. Since 2008, My wife Diane and I have raised our family in Galloway. For the last 15 years, I have made my living playing poker, an unorthodox background perhaps, but I have long earned a comfortable income making risk/reward decisions. As a professional, I can tell you this, anything less than drastic urgent systemic action on the crises we face is a very bad bet.

I’m running one of the most progressive campaigns in the history of New Jersey - a campaign built on a fundamental message: compassion.

Compassion for the poor - including those working two...even three jobs - yet forced to choose which meal to skip.

Compassion for the sick, the homeless, the marginalized, and the structurally disadvantaged.

Compassion for our children - who will live the worst effects of climate change.

New Jersey won’t be held

sive politics and special interests.

I will advocate for the right to a clean, healthy environment and quality education for our youth.

I will fight to make affordable housing a right - and to end the mass exodus from New Jersey.

I will push to end the failed war on drugs.

To those looking for compassionate, intelligent leadership in Trenton - you deserve better. We deserve better.

Our campaign isn’t about parties, it’s about people and what we hold most dear. It’s about providing an equal opportunity to live a life you find meaningful, preservation of nature in all her glorious complexity, and the rights of our great-grandchildren to enjoy these same values. Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or independent, I think we can all agree on what’s really important: resilient local communities, vibrant local economies, and a healthy planet our children can thrive on.

We cannot do it alone. To be able to institute radical change in New Jersey will require equally radical participation, collective action undertaken from our campaign all the way through to decision-making throughout the legislative process.

I’m asking you, personally, to come out to one of our many campaign events, hear the consistency in my message, and understand that I am not just another bought politician. I will always advocate for the ordinary people who bear the brunt of mismanagement in Trenton.

Join us!

Manchester Cops To Be Commended From what I can see, Manchester is blessed with a terrific police force! We had to call upon them on Friday

policemen were courteous, helpful and totally above board and professional in every sense of the word.

If these two fine men were representative of the entire force (and I believe they are), I cannot imagine any other town or city in New Jersey being more blessed than we are.

Police don’t get enough credit for the good they do these days, in some quarters they are even despised, sadly. But in Manchester Township, New Jersey we have an awful lot to appreciate! A sincere thank you to the officers who were so helpful.

Chet Jelinski Manchester

Police Have Bigger Problems To Worry About Can I ask a favor of our municipalities (including the town of Lavallette) going forward, can we stop using the term “civil servant” especially when discussing our boys (and girls) in blue?

As blatantly mercenary as police work has seemingly become over the last 20 years or so, I think that most of us understand the cops themselves are typically just following orders and most would still do anything they can including putting themselves in “harm’s way” to help a stranger. Most of us also know that it’s our greedy municipal leaders who come up with ways of treating their citizens like ATMs to gather revenue for their respective municipalities via dubious violations, often times through some form of entrapment which has the opposite effect of making us feel safer.

It goes beyond mercenary however, into the “mean & heartless” category when two Lavallette police officers have the gall to drive a truck onto a beach on a sunny summer Saturday (Letters - See Page 22)

Manchester Reminds Everyone To “Move Over”

MANCHESTER – Just over one year ago, On August 9, 2018, four Manchester Township Police officers were struck by a drunk driver while conducting a motor vehicle stop and search on Route 37. As a result of injuries suffered in the crash, one of the officers involved will never return to full duty despite a year of rehabilitation.

In an effort to stop this from happening to any more first responders, members of the Manchester Township Police Department will be conducting a special Move Over awareness and enforcement detail.

New Jersey’s Move Over law is designed to save lives and prevent injuries. Remember, this law is in effect year round.

In 2009, New Jersey enacted the Move Over law aimed at reducing deaths or injuries to roadside emergency workers such as police officers, firefighters, ambulance drivers, road crews and

tow truck operators. This law requires that the operator of a motor vehicle, upon approaching a stationary emergency vehicle with flashing, blinking or alternating red or blue lights do the following: Approach with caution; Make a lane change into a lane not adjacent to the emergency vehicle, if possible based on the existing safety and traffic conditions; Reduce their speed below the posted speed limit and be prepared to stop if a lane change is impossible, is prohibited by law or is unsafe.

New Jersey is one of 30 states that also requires drivers to use caution, change lanes or reduce speed for parked tow trucks with flashing amber lights and highway maintenance or emergency service vehicles with flashing yellow, amber or red lights.

We also remind motorists to also never get behind the wheel if you have been drinking and to plan for alternate transportation should your Memorial Day plans involve alcohol.

Major roads may be congested this weekend and into the coming summer months, so please be vigilant, patient, and refrain from texting and driving.

For more information about the Move Over law, please visit nj.gov/oag/hts/move-over-law/.

County Remembers Tim Ryan

By Chris Lundy LAVALLETTE – When writing an obituary, staff at the Timothy E. Ryan Home For Funerals would talk to family members about their loved one. It can be hard to sum up a life like that.

It’s even harder when it hits so close to home.

Timothy E. Ryan passed away at the age of 68, surrounded by his loving family.

What do you include when telling readers about his life? There are the professional designations and honors from his career as a funeral director. The civic groups. The political history. The faith and heritage groups.

Those are the facts of his life, but those facts only tell a fraction of who he really was.

“He was the best person,” his daughter Erin Ryan said. “He was the funniest guy. He would hold court and he would just tell story after story after story.”

He was genuine, and went above and beyond for other people. “He treated every family like they were his own. He was just an amazing man.”

Looking at all of his accomplishments, it’s clear to see that he left big shoes to fill. She promised that she would uphold his legacy, making it bigger and better, and make him proud.

Born in Orange, New Jersey, he had been splitting his time between Lavallette and Siesta Key, Florida. In his youth, he served an internship with his Uncle Jack at the John J. Ryan Home for Funerals in Keansburg.

He became manager of the Colonial Funeral Home in Lavallette. Eventually, he purchased that business and spread out to six locations in the county.

In addition to his education regarding his chosen industry, he also attended St. Joseph Seminary for Franciscan Friars, O.F.M Pulaski, Wisconsin.

Ultimately, his obituary had an impressive

Despite having all this on his plate, he always made time for his family, his daughter said.

That came first.

He and had been battling leukemia for 11 years. When he passed away, condolences came from all directions, since he touched a lot of lives.

Some people came to know him from politics.

He had been a councilman in Seaside Park, and he was a candidate for U.S Congress in the Third Congressional District of New Jersey and for an Ocean County Freeholder.

Ben Giovine, who is involved in local politics, spoke instead about how Ryan influenced his faith.

Continued From Page 17 dedication to the Roman Catholic Church,” he said. “Several years ago, I had made the decision to convert to Catholicism at St. Barnabas.

During this time, Tim was a constant source of support and guidance. He had an infectious sense of humor and grit but if you wanted to discuss deeper topics about faith or the church - there was no one better than Tim.” Robyn Paciulli-Griffith’s first impression of him was when a young friend had been killed by a drunk driver. Ryan had grief counselors at the viewing to talk to people. “When my father passed away two years ago, that’s where I went. He was one of the good ones, taken way too early.”

Later, when she ran for council in Beachwood, she came to learn how his sense of humor lit up a room. “When Timmy was there, everybody was smiling,” she said.

After his passing, people spoke of the various ways he had impacted them. The warmth and professionalism of his staff. The various community efforts he helped. Or even the way he filled up the front lawn of his funeral home with little American flags on patriotic holidays.

But ultimately, he got the last word. When looking through his papers to write his obituary, Erin found a note from him: “I feel sorry for the poor son of a bitch that has to write this obituary, keep your smile on your face.”

Surviving is his beloved wife Denise (Putlock) Ryan; his loving daughter Erin C. Ryan of Seaside Park, NJ; his sisters Mary E. Ryan of Seaside Park, NJ and Alice M. Santangelo of Brick, NJ; his many loving nieces, nephews and good friends and his faithful dog Brody.

Hearing Health Is About Relationships After you get glasses, you keep going to the eye doctor — annual checkups ensure the glasses still fit your needs. Same with dental work — you’re not done with the dentist once a cavity is filled. And so it is with hearing care: Your relationship with us ensures your devices always meet the needs of your listening lifestyle.

BEYOND Doing It Yourself…... No matter how well you clean and maintain your devices, wax and debris build up inside the casing, and tiny components wear out. When you come in for your clean and checks, your devices get a deep clean and any worn-out components such as domes and tubing get replaced, so you never miss a moment of what’s most important.

NEW SETTINGS The birth of a child, a new job, or a new hobby can affect whether your current settings match your hearing needs. Annual evaluations, or even clean and checks, are a great time to let us know about any changes in your

listening environments, so we can adjust your settings if necessary.

HEARING HELP You might continue to lose hearing over time because of aging or other factors. At your annual hearing checkup, your device settings are adjusted to reflect any changes in your hearing needs.

TECH TRANSITIONS If your listening lifestyle changes enough, you might need to upgrade your technology.

Through the relationship you’ve cultivated with us, we’re in a unique position to match the latest updates in hearing technology to your updated listening lifestyle.

Has it been a while since we last saw you? Come on in! We’ll chat, clean your devices, and check how well you’re hearing. Call today to schedule your appointment at 732-818-3610 (Toms River/Whiting) or 609-978-8946 (Manahawkin). Please visit us at www.Gardenstatehearing.com.

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

3 Tips To Survive On Hydrocodone And Other Opioids

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Vicodin and Lortab are two brand names of one of the most popular drugs in the entire world!

Generically, it is called “hydrocodone with apap” where the “apap” is an abbreviation for acetaminophen (aka Tylenol).

When I worked in a busy retail pharmacy in Florida, this medication was on the fast mover shelf because it was dispensed by by the thousands each day.

Hydrocodone/apap is a prescription analgesic and in the category of “opioids” which you’ve been hearing a lot about lately. Opioids are man-made drugs intended to look similar to the naturally-produced opiates made in your body. The opioid drug binds to the receptor on your cell’s outer membrane, and unlocks a variety of feel-good, numbing compounds which relax your body, increase pleasurable feelings and suppress pain signals.

If you require this medication there are 3 important tips you should know about: 1. Never stop suddenly. If you’ve been supported on this medication for more than 2 weeks, do not stop suddenly. It has to be weaned. Your body has already grown tolerant to the medication and stopping suddenly could produce dangerous withdrawal effects. Step down your dose due to the downregulation of receptors that normally process important neurotransmitters such as serotonin, acetylcholine, glutamate, GABA and dopamine.

2. Reduce side effects. Hydrocodone/apap (Vicodin) is known to cause constipation as its number one side effect. You can and should anticipate it and take a stool softener like docusate.

I recommend plenty of water each day, and

a diet that is rich in fiber, fruits like prunes and even oatmeal. This may not help, and in that case, an over-the-counter laxative like Miralax (polyethylene glycol 3350) or a fiber supplement like Metamucil could help.

For those of you who have been on this medication or a similar one such as Oxycodone/apap (Percocet) or Oxycontin for a long time, I would like to enlighten you that constipation is the least of your worries! There is a condition termed “Narcotic Bowel Syndrome” or NBS. This condition causes gastrointestinal hypersensitivity. It’s terribly under-recognized!

It’s never-ending and you will wind up getting CT scans, abdominal X-rays, MRIs, MRCPs, Ultrasounds, endoscopes down your throat, colonoscopies up through the bottom… and on and on! NBS is characterized by the progressive and somewhat paradoxical increase in abdominal pain despite continued or escalating dosages of narcotics prescribed in an effort to relieve the pain. I have more on this if you sign up for my newsletter at my website.

3. Never Drink Alcohol or Take Sleepers.

Opioids are CNS depressant agents which slow everything down, including respiration.Alcohol does that too, so does Benadryl, and a host of benzodiazepine drugs.

You should never combine two or more CNS depressants because it could slow your breathing down, or STOP IT completely!

This is how unintended deaths occur. By the same token, herbal sedatives are also CNS depressants, so do not combine your opioid medication with magnolia bark, skullcap, lavender, California poppy, lemon balm, valerian root and others.

Cops:

Continued From Page 1 maybe the resident was just being funny.

There was no empirical data to prove whether the dummy in the patrol car slowed traffic.

A concerned resident approached council at that same meeting to voice concerns over speeding along Union Avenue. His best guess was observing people going

well above the posted 30- and 35-milesper-hour limits, 25 in the school zone during school hours.

Council President Steven Oglesby said he at times purposely drives 20 miles per hour on Union, to send the message to slow down. He is thanked with various hand gestures and car horns.

Higgins said his department is well aware of the speeding problem. It’s been a problem for decades, and likely will remain a

problem, as people use Union to bypass Route 70 and its traffic lights to shave a couple minutes off their drive. Traffic through the borough has more than doubled since he’s been a police officer, now in his 26th year.

“I’ve always said if I wanted to write a bunch of tickets quickly, I can sit at Brown Avenue at the Baptist church and bang out 10 speeding tickets in an hour,” Higgins said.

The department has issued 65 speeding tickets since January. Sixty of those have been issued on Union and Brown avenues.

And it’s not borough residents getting the tickets. “I don’t think it’s ever going to change,” Higgins said about both the speeding and out-of-towners using Union to bypass Route 70.

However, through the borough’s capital improvements fund, the department recently bought a speed monitoring trailer.

The trailer will provide a flashing light to alert drivers they are speeding. It will also collect data that will allow the police department to analyze trends.

Based on that data, Higgins will know if there are certain times of the day that have heavier traffic traveling across Union Avenue, and if there are times when motorists are more likely to exceed the speed limit.

He can then increase police presence, even bring on officers for overtime, to issue warnings and tickets for speeding.

The speed monitoring trailer cost $7,109.

Letters:

Continued From Page 10 and harass people in bathing suits by asking them to open their coolers so that they can inspect them for alcohol and potentially slap an ill-advised and excessive $200 fine on any adults enjoying their legally purchased adult beverages. Do we really need to continue heading in a direction where the people we pay to protect us find new ways to make us suffer on the one or two free days we have off every week? Am I out of line to call this sick and draconian behavior? Really, if you step back for a minute and see how brutally mean and nasty it is to search people’s coolers at one of our most sacred American leisure spots, the Jersey Shore, then I would simply ask that we at least have the decency to cease using the term “civil servant” when describing our police officers.

The behavior I witnessed on a recent Saturday towards countless groups of law-abiding adults from armed officers whether they were enjoying a wine cooler, a beer or a non-alcoholic soda, made me feel very sad about who our so-called authorities think the enemy is in America, because at this point, it’s all of us.

Inside The Law Title Insurance: Why Every Purchaser Needs It

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By: Dina M. Vicari, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, III Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Many people ask their attorneys, “what is a title search and why do I need title insurance?” Next to having the appropriate funding to purchase your new home, ensuring that the home you intend to purchase has clean or clear title is essential. All mortgage companies require clear title. It is important to ensure that you have title insurance in the event a title issue arises after you have purchased the home.

Title searchers review old deeds, mortgages and wills at the County Clerk’s office to trace the ownership history of the property. They look for any current or past mortgages, liens or judgments on the property that have not been discharged as well as whether there are any tax liens or unpaid municipal utility bills. The title searchers will also examine the chain of title to confirm that the seller’s ownership rights have not been affected and that the sellers are, in fact, selling you a home without any adverse possessory or equitable interests such as pending litigation or easements. These examples are endless, but the title company performing the search has the expertise to find all relevant concerns prior to the purchase.

Once the title company completes its search it will issue an insurance policy after closing which will insure you and your lender should anyone at any time in the future come knocking on your door claiming an ownership or possessory interest in your property. Should this occur, the title company will step- in and provide you with a legal defense and assume the costs of any litigation. This coverage is similar to automobile insurance after you have become involved in an automobile collision. After an automobile collision, your automobile insurer will provide you with legal assistance and take corrective measures in the event you are sued Fortunately,

unlike automobile insurance where you pay Dina M. Vicari Esq. your premium annually, monthly or quarterly, your title insurance premium is paid only once at the time of closing and this one time premium will provide insurance coverage for as long as you own the home.

It is also important to note that if you have a mortgage you need to obtain both a Lender’s and Owner’s policy. The Lender’s policy covers the mount of the mortgage that is due at the time any claim is made.

An Owner’s policy covers your ownership interest, which is a relatively inexpensive addition to the policy premium. In New Jersey, title insurance is usually paid by the buyer. After closing the buyer’s attorney may need to perform additional legal tasks to complete the conditions of the title policy such as filing additional deeds and discharge of mortgages. The purchaser will receive the final title policy in the mail approximately 6-8 weeks after closing.

While all of this may be overwhelming, we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Wills and Trusts, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate, Medicaid, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning, Powers of Attorney and much more.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Back To School: Drive Safe, Buy Local

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – It’s a parent’s favorite time of year: back to school for the kids. But Ocean County officials are reminding drivers and parents to keep their heads on straight while school buses make their way back onto local roadways.

It is important to remember that drivers must stop for a school bus with its red lights flashing.

“Yet year after year we still get reports of near tragedies when drivers pass a stopped school bus,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari. “I’ve seen it myself. It has to stop.”

As the first day of school approaches, officials are urging caution.

“It only takes a moment for tragedy to strike,” Vicari said. “Whether students take the bus, walk, ride a bicycle or are driven to school by their parents, there are safety rules everyone must follow.”

Drivers should take note of lower speed limits near schools and be on the lookout for pedestrians in a school zone.

“Take a hard look,” Vicari said. “Look, and then look again, for the child hidden by parked cars, shrubbery or high grass, trees, or poles.

Even mailboxes can obscure a child, if only for a moment.”

Vicari also noted that a driver must be aware before they even leave the driveway.

“Even while backing out of your driveway you may encounter inattentive students walking or biking to school,” he said.

For students, it is important to check for traffic when stepping off the school bus.

“Never trust a vehicle to stop just because the bus is flashing its red warning lights. Always look both ways before crossing the street after

stepping out of the school bus,” Vicari said.

Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines provided a few tips for children walking or biking to school: always follow the same route, avoid short cuts, walk in groups and pay attention to any hazards along the way.

Officials also remind parents that they can do their part to protect the children by checking up on The Megan’s Law database for information on any convicted sex offenders that may be living nearby. Towns, counties, zip codes and even individual streets can be easily reviewed.

“This only takes a few minutes and can make a big difference in keeping a child safe,” said Freeholder Deputy Director John P. Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety.

Kelly also suggested periodically checking the Megan’s Law database throughout the year, as it is continuously updated.

“It’s important to know what dangers a child may encounter when they travel to and from school,” he said. “It’s also essential that they learn to avoid strangers and how to react if they are approached by an adult they do not know.”

You can access the database through the Ocean County Government Homepage at co.ocean.nj.us.

Lastly, keep in mind those local businesses when shopping for school supplies this year.

“Our local businesses offer everything for school shopping, whether it is that perfect lunchbox for your first grader or a new laptop for a student heading off to college,” Vicari said. “Keep a friend or neighbor working.

Buy local.”

Shopping local can also protect against fraud, with help from the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE August Is National Immunization Month

OCEAN COUNTY – Every August, for National Immunization Month, the Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) reminds residents it’s a vitally important time to start vaccinating the whole family from a variety of infectious diseases. However, due to the recent measles outbreaks, the message is more important than ever.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that there have been more than 17,000 cases of measles reported in the United Sates so far in 2019. In Ocean County, there have been a total of 8 confirmed cases and 4 cases in one Monmouth County household that had a direct epidemiologic link to Ocean County.

Protecting your children with the vaccines recommended by the CDC immunization schedule is one of the most important things parents can do to keep them safe not only from measles, but other serious diseases such as whooping cough, chicken pox and mumps.

“August is the perfect time for families to make sure that all of their loved ones have access to the recommended vaccines and are protected for the upcoming year,” explains Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “We must be persistent in raising awareness about the importance of immunizations and timely vaccination for people of all ages.”

Typically we think of children being at high risk, but older adults are the most vulnerable to many infectious diseases and illnesses - especially those that can be deadly like flu and

pneumonia. 36,000 people die from seasonal flu with an alarming 90 percent occurring in people over the age of 65.

“Immunizations really do save lives. While most of us associate this time of year with immunizing children for the start of a new school year, we have to recognize that older adults are often disproportionately at risk from certain infectious diseases. All seniors should speak with their healthcare providers about what immunizations are right for them,” advises Daniel E. Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator.

The Ocean County Health Department is reminding people that vaccines are safe, effective and the best protection against so many diseases - from infancy to early adulthood and into old age. Getting vaccinated is not only protection for ourselves but can keep disease from spreading to our children, families and communities.

“Our goal is to continue to spread awareness about the benefits of immunizations. For vaccines to be most effective, vaccination rates must remain high,” Regenye added.

For more information about National Immunization Month, or a list of immunization schedules, please visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

Also, please check out our new website at phu2.org, to access and learn more about our Public Health is You Too! campaign to help equip you to take simple steps to improve your health.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Freeholders Fight For Affordable Flood Insurance

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – When you live by the water, it is not always beach days and sunshine. Coastal communities such as the Jersey Shore are also at a higher risk for flooding.

Ocean County officials say that flood insurance is key to protecting yourself when living in a coastal community.

“Flood insurance and mitigation funding from the National Flood Insurance Program was critical to rebuilding Ocean County and other areas of the state affected

by Superstorm Sandy which unleashed unprecedented devastation when the storm hit in October of 2012,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, liaison to the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs. “And while we know the importance of flood insurance, we also know that it has to be affordable for our homeowners.

On August 7, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders passed a resolution calling on federal leaders to extend the National Flood Insurance Program and provide affordable rates and sensible coverage to property owners. The NFIP is due to expire September 30.

Congress has introduced two distinct reauthorization bills that would reauthorize it through Sept. 30, 2024 - HR 3167 sponsored by Rep. Maxine Waters and S 2187 sponsored by Sen. Bob Menendez with a companion bill HR 3872, sponsored

by Rep. Frank Pallone.

“Changes being considered to the national flood insurance program could increase rates substantially leaving homeowners without proper coverage or struggling to pay the bill,” Vicari said. “We want our

federal leaders to take a closer look at this legislation so that it doesn’t harm our citizens or the citizens across the U.S. who need to have flood insurance.”

According to George Kasimo, an advocate with Stop FEMA Now, the Freeholders are not the first to call for change. Many other municipalities are also asking for affordable flood insurance.

“The Freeholders are working for property owners in making sure flood insurance is affordable,” he said. “Under a proposed provision in the Flood Insurance Program, rates could rise 18 to 25 percent. This will have a negative effect on property values and will also affect our taxes.”

Companion bills S 2187/HR 3872 propose capping annual rate increases to 9 percent.

Kasimo noted there are 53,000 flood insurance policies issued to Ocean County property owners insuring $19 billion in property.

In March, the Federal Emergency Management Administration, (FEMA) announced a redesigned risk system, Risk Rating 2.0, which the administration states will better ref lect a property’s unique flood risk.

“This new rating has the potential to significantly impact homeowners in Ocean County,” Vicari said. “The new rating is also expected to increase the number of properties requiring flood insurance as they expand beyond the current regulated Special Flood Hazard Areas. “It’s important our Congressional representatives hear our concerns and address the issue so flood insurance is affordable and any changes to the program do not have a negative impact on property owners.”

The Magic of Harry Potter Comes To Ocean County Mall

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Wizards and muggles unite! The Ocean County Mall is hosting a new and improved Harry Potter: Wizards Unite game play experience!

As one of Simon’s 200+ retailers, Ocean County Mall will feature increased rewards, elusive enemies, and multiple sponsored Inns and Fortresses, giving players more XP and more spell energy than any other non-sponsored location in the US! Spend the day shopping around the mall, or dining at one of the various restaurants, while playing Harry Potter: Wizards Unite.

In the future, select Simon properties will also host real-world events and QR assignments for Harry Potter: Wizards Unite.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Officials: Teen Suicide A Big Issue In Ocean County

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – While it may be hard to hear, it is important to be aware of: suicide has become the third leading cause of death among children and young adults aged 10-24.

While vape pens and underage drinking are the usual cause for concern, parents and guardians should also keep a close eye on teenagers for other risk factors.

According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), 14 young people between the ages of 10 and 24 committed suicide from 2013 to 2015 in Ocean County. During the same two year period, there was a whopping 283 cases for the entire state.

“Sadly, society is putting more and more pressure on our young people today. Peer pressure, bullying, social media, drugs and alcohol are just some of the social challenges young people are trying to navigate,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little.

According to the same AFSP study, from 2013 to 2015, Ocean County had 1 of the 3 highest rates in the state for suicide attempts and self-inf licted injuries among 10 to 24 year olds.

“It’s become another public health issue with too many sad endings,” said Daniel E. Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator. “However, research has shown suicide deaths can be preventable. The key is promoting the work of suicide prevention and mental health awareness.

Increased collaboration with state, local and community partners is essential for success.”

Prevention efforts begin with educating pediatricians, primary health care providers, school personnel and families on how to recognize the warning signs of suicide and what action to take when intent is disclosed.

“Help is available. Young people need to be encouraged to speak with a trusted adult or call a suicide prevention hotline if they feel overwhelmed, depressed or are having suicidal thoughts, said Kimberly Reilly, OCHD Chief of Administrative Services. “Parents that are concerned their child may be suffering from depression or suicidal tendencies need to act quick - do not wait, seek professional help right away.”

Symptoms of depression or suicidal tendencies may be hard to detect. Officials note that challenges like divorce, remarriage, relationship problems and social media can be major factors.

“Earlier detection means earlier treatment,” Regenye added. “That’s why it is so important for parents, loved ones and educators to keep an eye out for the signs of depression or any other mental health concerns.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of AUG 24 - aug 30

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The possibilities are endless. In the week ahead you might be in your element in more than one area of life. Your quick reactions are relevant at the workplace, and romantic notions receive a warm response at home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can appear attractive and magnetic even while doing basic things like working out, shopping for groceries or washing your car. In the week ahead you may find romance even when engaged in the most mundane tasks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’re feeling especially creative and poetic - your inner troubadour may sing sonnets celebrating love in the upcoming week, or you might want to pick up a brush or pen. A business meeting may set the scene for a romantic encounter.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be strictly pragmatic and avoid wishful thinking when you handle money or contemplate a new purchase.

Be sure to show yourself and your skills to best advantage in order to make a strong impression in the upcoming week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your natural charm and appeal is at a high point and you may have a specific mental picture of how you’d like to put yourself together. A shopping expedition could yield exactly the items you hope to find.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can be both a mover and a shaker in the week ahead.

You can move mountains when you decide to work toward something in particular, and you also can shake off any problems that arise like

a dog shaking off water after a bath.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Find a like-minded friend or partner and explore unusual places and wide-open spaces. The two of you can enjoy flights of fancy in the week ahead that could inspire new goals.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have the imagination to see a genuine opportunity, but you’ll need to apply practical skills to make it a success. In the week ahead, consider the pros and cons on many levels before you decide to move ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): New and interesting ideas may stimulate your need to make necessary changes in the week to come.

Family members may help you come to see that to make progress you must take the first step.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You won’t be left in the dark. In the week ahead, lots of “aha” light bulbs are likely to go off in your head, illuminating any dark corners. Take notes because your new ideas may be worth a future follow-up.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There is a fine line to be drawn between imagination and symbolism that you may encounter in the week ahead. Your job or an important project may involve creative thinking and vision.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Cool Off With Homemade Ice Cream That Captures The Essence Of Summer Fruit

By Wolfgang Puck Just as summer’s days begin to feel the hottest, we can enjoy peaches at their best: sweet, incredibly juicy and unbelievably refreshing. They’ve been around, of course, all season. But the late-summer harvest, ripened under the warm sun, always provides the best specimens of all: more intense, even a bit spicy-sweet, and so plump that when you eat one whole you can’t keep its juices from dripping down your chin.

Even better, peaches seem especially abundant right now. But what can you do with them all besides just eating them by hand?

My team of chefs and I like to add peaches to fruit salads, of course. We chop them up with a little sweet onion, hot fresh chili peppers and cilantro for a fresh salsa or chutney to complement grilled poultry, seafood or meat. We’ll can jars of peach jam, preserving the fruit to enjoy for months to come. Also on the menu: peach shortcake, pies and tarts. It’s possible we’ll even halve, pit and dry peaches to store for use chopped up in granola mixtures baked into holiday fruitcakes.

When you get down to the basics, however, for those late-summer days when the heat and humidity are at the most oppressive, there is one peach recipe that seems ideal: ice cream. Of course, it makes perfect sense to combine an iconic fruit of the season with its most iconic dessert. That’s why I’m happy to share one of my favorite versions of such a recipe, dating back to Spago restaurant’s early days, for peach compote ice cream.

This recipe offers a textbook lesson in how to distill the very essence of peaches and then infuse it into a frozen dessert.

It begins by making a compote of fresh peaches, subtly seasoned with cinnamon and a little lemon juice to heighten its flavor and then enhanced with sugar to help the fruit’s natural sweetness shine through at freezer temperatures.

The compote is then combined with a classic ice cream base made with milk, cream, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla bean. Finally, the mixture is sieved to extract every last drop of peach flavor while ensuring that you don’t wind up with hard chunks of frozen fruit.

The result is an ice cream that seems to capture the very essence of late summer.

Fresh fruit, especially raspberries and sliced fresh peaches, make a perfect complement to each serving; unless, of course, you can’t resist scooping the ice cream into cones!

PEACH COMPOTE ICE CREAM Makes about 2 quarts (2 L) PEACH COMPOTE: 3 pounds (1.5 kg) ripe peaches (about 8

large peaches), pitted and cut into thin slices 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) granulated sugar 1 whole cinnamon stick 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice ICE CREAM BASE: 2 cups (500 mL) whole milk 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream 1 vanilla bean pod, cut in half lengthwise, seeds scraped out and reserved along with the bean halves 8 large egg yolks 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar FOR SERVING: Sliced fresh peaches Fresh raspberries (optional) For the peach compote: In a large saucepan, combine the peaches, sugar, cinnamon stick and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are very soft and the mixture starts to thicken, about 30 minutes. During the last 10 minutes, adjust the heat, stir more frequently, and watch carefully to prevent scorching.

While the peaches are cooking, make the ice cream base. In a clean large saucepan, combine the milk, cream and vanilla bean halves and seeds. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove the vanilla bean halves.

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually whisk in the sugar until thoroughly combined.

Whisking continuously, slowly pour in half of the hot cream mixture. Then, while stirring the remaining cream mixture in the saucepan over low heat using a wooden spoon, slowly pour in the egg yolk mixture.

Continue stirring continuously over low heat for several minutes, cooking just until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon evenly. Do not overcook.

Add the peach compote to the base, removing the cinnamon stick, and stir thoroughly.

Set aside to steep for 10 minutes. Then, place a sturdy wire-meshed strainer over a large mixing bowl and pour the mixture through the strainer, pressing down firmly on the solids in the strainer to extract as much flavor as possible. Set the bowl inside a larger bowl half-filled with ice cubes and cold water, and stir the mixture occasionally until well chilled.

Freeze the strained mixture in an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer’s directions. Serve immediately, or transfer to a freezer container and store in the freezer.

If the ice cream has frozen solid, transfer the container to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before scooping and serving.

Scoop the ice cream into individual chilled bowls, and garnish with sliced fresh peaches along with raspberries if you wish.
