New Sculptures In Place Through Downtown

‑‑Photos by Catherine GaliotoThe diverse subjects of the statues newly installed in downtown Toms River public spots are all by local Brian Hanlon, whose sculptures are in place worldwide. The exhibit runs through the summer.

Arts Project, downtown improvement dis-trict and Toms River Artists Community would join Hanlon in cutting the ribbon on such an exhibit. About 20 of his bronze statues are promi-nently installed downtown where they will remain for the public to enjoy all summer. “It’s official, all the plaques are up, people can wander and learn,” Hanlon said. “The

figures are so different, but they have a lot of common with their pursuit of excellence – athletic excellence, civic excellence, busi-ness excellence.” Whether Yogi Berra, Earl Lloyd, a fire-fighter memorial or the Binghamton mascot bearcat, the large-scale, bronze sculptures span a variety of subjects both well and By Catherine Galioto

TOMS RIVER – Michael Schwartz, founder and president of the nonprofit Hometown Heroes, woke up to a phone full of notifications. “I thought it was that Facebook feature that reminds you of anniversaries, peo-ple responding, things like that,” said Schwartz, as two years ago to the month marked the anniversary of a damaging fire to the downtown building that housed several offices, including Hometown He-roes. The charity would be left homeless. And now, the organization finds itself in an identical situation, but from a sec-ond fire. The 4 a.m., May 31 fire destroyed the historic Birdsall building at 236 Wash-ington Street, in a blaze that started on the first floor and quickly destroyed the

By Chris Christophert was a memorable season for the Ocean County College women’s softball team. The Vikings went 26-13 overall. They

won the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III Region XIX Tournament. And they finished sixth at the NJCAA Division III Tournament. The program was born in 1977. It was the first time the Vikings won the Region XIX title and the initial time they qualified for the nationals. “Our team was very even keeled,” said Bob Mazanec, OCC’s seventh-year coach. “It never got too high. It never got too low. We

Sophomore outfielder Kara Molnar, a Jack-son Memorial High School graduate, and sophomore pitcher Ashley Hussey (Toms River North) captured first-team all-region and first-team All-Garden State Athletic Conference honors. Sophomore first baseman April Szymczyk (Jackson Liber ty), f reshman second baseman Kurstin Binshedler (Pinelands Regional) and sophomore shor tstop Adelle Hickman (Jackson Liberty) won second-team all-region and second-team

all-conference honors. Named third-team all-region and third-team all-conference were freshman pitcher-outfielder Marissa Stadtmauer and freshman catcher Steph-anie Healy (Pinelands). Through the Region XIX Tournament, Molnar hit .548 (63-for-115). She set the school career record for home runs (seven), including six this season. She drove in 44 runs and scored 56. She added 10 doubles and nine triples and sped to eight steals in eight attempts. The former Jaguar is headed to William Paterson University. “She has a lot of our records,” Mazanec

said. “She is probably our all-time leader in runs scored and runs batted in. She has a quick bat and can drive the ball to all fields. She has really good speed on the bases and is an excellent baserunner.” Hussey went 16-4 through the nationals to tie OCC’s single-season wins record. The owner of a 26-9 career record, she leaves with the highest wins total in school histo-ry. She was named the Region XIX Pitcher of the Year in 2016. “She is what I consider a true pitcher as she does not throw that hard,” Mazanec said. “She has good movement. I would say her out pitch is her curveball. She moves the ball in and out and up and down and gets the hitters off balance.” Among the greatest women’s athletes in OCC history, Szymczyk also starred in basketball and volleyball. Szymczyk, who will play basketball for Rowan University, batted .545 (61-for-112) through the Region IX Tournament. She plated 52 runs, scored 30 and hit three homers and 15 doubles. Szymczyk and Molnar were among the Division III leaders in batting average. “I consider April a power hitter and a great defensive first baseman,” said Mazanec, who was assisted by Elise Wein-berger and Mickey Minnitti. “She was a free swinger -- not someone who looked to cut down on her swing. On defense, she has great hands and is aggressive. She is excellent at fielding bunts and she can handle all of the throws from the infielders.

Softball:Continued From Page 1

She dug a lot of balls out of the dirt. She made three errors in 233 total chances.” Binshedler batted .419 through the Region XIX Tournament. She scored 57 runs and drove in 21. Among her hits were nine doubles, two homers and three triples. “She hit leadoff,” Mazanec said. “She was very steady. She had a lot of responsibility at second base and made all of the plays. She turns the double play as well as anyone I have ever seen. She got on base and got us started. She and Hickman made for a great double play combination.” Hickman stung the ball at a .521 clip (63-for-121) through the Region XIX Tourna-ment. She knocked in 28 runs, scored 52 and hit one homer and seven doubles. She will attend William Paterson. “She moved from second base to short-stop this year for the betterment of the team,” Mazanec said. “She helped set the table for Molnar and Szymczyk.” Stadtmauer was named the Most Valuable Player of the team’s best-of-three series against Cumberland County College in the Region XIX Tournament in which she won both games, allowing one run in seven innings. Prior to displaying her pitching prowess, she was best known for her of-fense as she hit .434 through the Region XIX Tournament. “She was our third pitcher for most of the year,” Mazanec said. “She started in left field for 95 percent of our games. In the regions, our top two pitchers had difficulty, but she came in and shut things down in both games. We had one foot in the grave.” Healy hit .462 through the Region XIX

Tournament. She drove in 24 runs and scored 20. She hit one homer, three triples and eight doubles. “She was an aggressive baserunner,” Mazanec said. “She was a good defensive catcher who really took charge in the infield.” The Vikings also received contributions from sophomore outfielder Brianna Va-fiadis (Central Regional), freshman third baseman-outfielder Bridgette Badalis (Roselle Catholic), freshman infielder Emily Dancisin (Pinelands), freshman

outfielder Kristin Kolisz (Ossining, N.Y.), freshman catcher-second baseman Mack-enzie Darmstatter (Barnegat), freshman outfielder Caitlyn Linstra (Lacey) and freshman pitcher Stephanie Havens (Jack-son Memorial). Early in the season, OCC went 6-2 on a trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C. The team raised funds with the aid of the OCC Foundation, local businesses, families and friends. “We knew we could be good when we finished the trip,” Mazanec said. “We saw we had some power, defense and pitching.”

little known. Each has signage nearby, explaining the piece. The statues are copies of ones Han-lon has made for clients all over the world. He is the official sculptor of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, but has created more than 300 sculptures and statues. Local examples of his work include the prominent “Wel-come To Ocean County” monument at the southeast corner of Route 36 and 166 in Toms River, the baseball sculpture in the Ocean County Mall and the “Angel in Anguish” September 11 memorial in Brick. With many of the sculptures focused on sports and athletics, the exhibition is called the Sports, Fitness and Wellness Summer. Hanlon said the exhibition is meant to show the “possibilities of the human spirit.” It also creates a second summer of interest in the arts in downtown Toms River, which last year hosted the life-

like works of Seward Johnson, which had statues showing “residents” in daily vignettes such as a police officer issuing a parking ticket, two ladies chatting on a bench, children playing in the grass or a worker washing storefront windows. In contrast, the Hanlon statues fea-ture actual people f rom history, or even sports mascots. A plaque nearby explains the piece and the Garden Club helped to incorporate planters and other elements to enhance the settings. Helping to bring the second season of sculpture are sponsors, volunteers and organizers behind much of the effort to create an arts hub for Toms River and sustain the downtown corridor: the Toms River business improvement district, the Community Arts Project, the Grunin Foundation and TRAC. A map of where to find the statues around downtown is available at the downtown Toms River office on Water Street and online. This year’s exhibit would likely feature tie-ins with the l ibrary’s summer reading program, walking tours and other special events similar to last summer.

I have lived my life for three-quarters of a century and there’s one thing man-kind can’t achieve. Why? Since the very beginning of mankind, men have been warring with each other. Again, why? It would seem to me that man would want peace. We all know that there are no winners to war, only losers. With money spent on war in my lifetime, if man had spent it on peace rather than war, we would all be living in clover. Everyone would have a roof over their head and food on the table. Instead of spending money on war machine, this money could have gone into medi-cine and research. Instead of man spending his time plotting war, the same time could have been spent on planning peace. At the rate we are going, mankind will end up blowing themselves and the earth into oblivion. Why is it that we find it so hard to befriend our neigh-bor, and instead become jeal-ous of others? Why can’t we love each other? Why should our children be subjected to war and the devastation it brings? We were given a great gift called the Earth. All we seem able to do is destroy it. Why is it so dif-ficult to live in peace? Why don’t we spend our time on love instead of hate? We were given a brain in order to think things out. War brings destruction and need. What kind of people start these wars and why do people pay attention to them? Where are our great leaders and why

I just read a story regarding Toms River, who dropped another $200,000 into its barrier island beaches. A picture shows a truck dump-ing sand in front of a home on the beach. The ocean was lapping at the home. The town had two front-end loaders taking sand from other parts of the beach and filling the hole. When are the politicians and engineers going to learn that you cannot stop beach ero-sion just by dumping sand? This winter the town dumped $500,000 in dune sand which the ocean removed after one nor’easter. They need to build jetties to break the waves off shore and break up the inshore current so the sand is deposited on the beach. Again, I point to Manasquan and Shark River Inlets. When I first moved here 40 years ago there was water on both sides of the south jetties. Today the beach is out to the jetties’ point and the sand is filling in the inlets. Is nature telling you something?Captain Robert M. SilvaToms River

When you discover that property taxation is a form of legal thievery and the government services you need can be done by your-self in cooperation with others who need the same services, you move in that direction. Converting from the prop-erty tax to do-it-yourself government is a gradual movement. The first step is to drop the tax levy each year by at least 2 percent through the use of surplus money, the sale of land, buildings, and goods deemed not necessary by the taxed citizens along with eliminating unneces-sary taxpayer jobs that are currently vacant. And the second step is to fill the needed government jobs that become vacant with your own labor and goods in cooperation with other citizens having the same needs. Paying tax dollars to others to do the job in the form of salaries, fees, and benefits amounts to forced cooperation [so-cialism] or slave labor. The long-held lie that there will always be taxation is dismissed by the truth that we are the property of our creator and not of any government. And from the creator we receive our freedom.Ray KalainikasManalapan

Manchester Township Mayor Kenneth Palmer discussed the township’s redevelopment proposal for the Heritage Minerals Site at a recent council meeting. Ordinance #16-022, which the council introduced with-out discussion on May 9 and initially scheduled for final approval just two weeks later on May 23, would give tremendous power to the developer and, once adopt-ed, cannot be undone. The ordinance would adopt the Manchester Heritage Town

can’t they put a stop to wars? I know this letter sounds like a fairy tale, but I still believe in fairy tales. I hope we will see the light before it is too late.

Center Redevelopment Plan and amend the township’s zoning map to reflect the Redevelopment Plan. This massive development plan is bad for Manchester and bad for the Pinelands. Manchester’s leaders have not given the public enough time to provide input about this proposal which would bring vast changes to the town. If it weren’t for the public outcry, Council would already have ad-opted the Redevelopment Plan only two weeks after disclosing its terms. The Redevelopment Plan is illegal, because it violates a slew of environmental rules and a legal settle-ment agreement reached in 2003 between the Pinelands Commission, the Depart-ment of Environmental Pro-tection and the developer, Hovsons Inc. Hovsons’ prior attempts to develop this site had resulted in years of liti-gation because its plans violated rules that protect environmental resources. The settlement agreement permitted Hovsons to build 2,450 homes on 900 acres, would allow 20,000 square feet of commercial devel-opment and dedicates 6,400 acres as open space. The Redevelopment Plan would vastly expand the development and slash the open space. The Plan would allow development of 4,087 acres. Instead of 20,000 square feet of commercial you get one million square feet. Instead of 2,450 homes you get 6,543. The main positive the mayor sees in the develop-ment is making money to “off-set the increasing costs of running a town” through tax revenues. But there are obvious reasons why no one should rely on this develop-ment making more money than it will cost in increased municipal services. Even if it were legal, this Plan would be still be very bad for Manchester. The fiscal impact analysis produced to justify the plan is profoundly flawed. Here

Although families depend on women’s earnings, those earnings have still not caught up with men’s. The wage gap not only persists at different levels of education but be-comes larger with each level. Women with a graduate degree earn only 70 percent of what similar men earn. Working women of all ages continue to encounter atti-tudes and business practices that arbitrarily limit their employment opportunities and earning power. These practices can jeopardize their financial security, both while working and in re-tirement. A woman who works full-time over a 40-year period loses $435,480 in lifetime income (in today’s dollars) due to the wage gap. The typical woman needs to

The income gap trans-lates directly to lower in-come from Social Security and pensions – since those benefits are determined by wage history, disadvantaging women and their families through retirement. This income gap ham-pers the capacity of women workers to save for retire-ment. And since women typically live longer than men, savings often must be stretched across more years of retirement.

OCEAN COU NTY – Golfers are coming back to the two courses operated by Ocean County. “We have been seeing our numbers increase sub-stantially based on a three-year average,” said Ocean County Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who serves as liaison to the Ocean Coun-ty Department of Parks and Recreation. “These courses are well-main-tained and are once again growing in popularity.” Ocean County operates two golf courses – the Ocean County Golf Course at Atlantis in Little Egg Harbor Township and the Ocean County Golf Course at Forge Pond in Brick Township. Attendance at the two courses had been negatively affected by the recession and Superstorm

Sandy. “I am pleased to see peo-ple in large numbers are again using our courses,” Bartlett said. “Each course offers our residents a dif-ferent golf experience.” Ocean Cou nt y Gol f Course at Atlantis, locat-ed on Country Club Blvd., is a par-72 championship course designed by George Fazio. Among the more challenging holes is a par-three sixth hole, where the golfer must negotiate a pond in the middle of the fairway in order to reach the green. Ocean Cou nt y Gol f Course at Forge Pond, lo-cated in the Northeastern region of Ocean County is a par-60 executive course tucked into a 300-acre conservation area. The freeholders said the rates

are very reasonable, espe-cially for resident senior citizens. Freeholder Director John P. Kelly said the coun-ty-run golf courses fill a niche in the county. “They can be used by everyone,” he said. “And, they are affordable.” Bartlett noted that rounds played at the Forge Pond Golf Course are up more than 43 percent with more than 4,000 rounds played this year. Year to date, de-posits have increased about 11 percent. The numbers at Atlantis are even stronger as rounds played have increased al-most 70 percent to more than 5,000 rounds this year, and deposits are up almost 17 percent. “We are open and people are playing,” Bartlett said.

“We have seen a good spring so far and we expect that to continue.” Bartlett said the Parks and Recreation department staff is always reviewing ways to create more in-terest in the county’s golf courses. In addition to good weath-er, other improvements including implementing Golf Now Tee Time Reser-vations, a global company that allows residents to reserve a tee time whether it is online, or on their phone, has made making reservations easier. “With this reservation system, we are now much more accessible for golf-ers,” Bartlett said. In addition, some changes to the course at Atlantis are helping to meet the various levels golfers play at.

“Forward tees have creat-ed a nicer round of golf for our players,” Bartlett said. “The changes are helping golfers play to their abili-ty while also speeding up play. It’s better for every-body.” In addition, the opening of Cuisine on the Green, a restaurant that serves as the culinary program for the Ocean County Voca-tional Technical School has been a draw for Atlantis. “This has been a bene-ficial partnership,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vi-cari, who serves as liaison to the county’s vo-tech school district. “This is good for tourism and it’s good for the quality of life offered here in Ocean County.” At Forge Pond, spring and summer golf leagues

have attracted more play as has the golfer appreciation card, which allows for one free round of play upon the completion of nine. “Our parks department staff does an outstanding job in maintaining the greens, the courses and also implementing creative ways to attract the public to our courses,” Bartlett said. “Our golf courses are true assets to the county.” More information on the Ocean County operated golf courses and parks can be accessed by visiting co.ocean.nj.us/OCParks.

CongressmanTom MacArthur

From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur: NRF Names MacArthur “Hero of Main Street”

small business community and American entrepre-neurs across New Jersey and the United States. “Cong ressma n Tom MacAr thur has shown, through his support, that he cares about retailers big and small, and values the role these businesses play in communities across the country,” NRF Pres-ident and CEO Matthew Shay said. “Congressman MacArthur is an advo-

cate for his thriving Main Street and to the long-term growth the retail industry – our nation’s largest job creators and the catalyst for continued growth and op-portunity for our nation’s economy.” “Main Street is where you find both the heart of America and the engine that drives our economy,” said Congressman MacAr-thur. “Washington needs to be reminded that bu-

reaucrats don’t create jobs – small businesses do. Our job in Congress is to rein in the costly and often unnec-essary regulations that are crushing our job creators, and ensure government serves as a catalyst – not a bar r ier – to business growth.” The “Hero of Main Street” award recognizes Mem-bers of Congress who demonstrate a consistent commitment to econom-

ic growth and pro-small business policy initiatives, through their votes on key issues including t rade, tax reform and health-care reform. Congressman MacAr thur has ser ved as an outspoken advo-cate for small businesses and entrepreneurs across the country, supporting key legislation such as the REINS Act (H.R. 427) and SCRUB Act (H.R. 1155), to protect businesses from

overregulation and intro-duce accountability into Washington’s regulatory system. NRF is the world’s largest retail trade association, representing discount and department stores, home goods, and specialty stores, Main Street merchants, grocers, wholesalers, chain restaurants and Internet retailers from the United States and more than 45 countries.

MacArthur Demands Real Reform At FEMAFEMA was faced with a barrage of bad headlines recently when Congress-man MacArthur exposed additional documents and signed aff idavits f rom former FEMA employ-ees, with one such affi-davit stating the reason for leaving FEMA was the “elaborate process designed to justify min-

imal payments to poli-cyholders irrespective of the actual merits of their claims.” “Over the last year we witnessed severe incom-petence and systemic fail-ure,” said Congressman MacArthur. “The people of New Jersey have been mistreated by a govern-ment that is supposed to

be there for them when disaster strikes. This is not the first time FEMA has promised ‘reforms,’ but unfor tunately they haven’t followed through with anything close to thei r promises. W hi le these ‘reforms’ make for a nice press release in

the wake of a storm of damaging headlines, it doesn’t change the fact that bad actors at FEMA were responsible for the systemic lowballing of claims to my constituents, and to date, not a single person at FEMA has been held accountable.”

MacArthur continued, “I am eager to hear more about FEMA’s promised ‘reforms’ – and I pledge to play a leading role in demanding the kind of comprehensive change that will prevent anything like this from happening in the future.”

SOUTH TOMS RIVER – South Toms River EMS (STREMS) was visited by Donna Se-taro, the mother of late NJSP Trooper Marc Castellano. Setaro presented information about her campaign for awareness of the “Move Over Law.” She goes around to dif-ferent meetings and public events to bring awareness of this law following the passing of her son after his patrol vehicle was struck on the parkway by another motorist. The “Move Over Law” requires motorists in the presence of emergency vehicles, such as police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, tow trucks and any other vehicle that displays emergency warning lights, to either safely

move over one lane and reduce their speed or remain in their lane of travel because it is unsafe to move over and significantly reduce their speed below the posted speed limit for the roadway. During her presentation, Setaro provided STREMS with fliers about the law as well as information about larger signs that can be posted on the side of the road. The officers and members of STREMS felt this would be a great way to bring awareness to those traveling in town and purchased two large signs and a banner.

POINT PLEASANT – The Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation’s Summer Series of Festivals kicks off with the Point Pleasant Borough Jazz and Blues Festival on June 18 from noon to 8 p.m. at Riverfront Park, located on the corner of Maxon Avenue and River Road. Thousands are anticipated to turn out for a day of live performances by talented jazz

Summer Series Of Festivals Kicks Off Music-Filled Summerand blues musicians. There will also be food, crafters and sponsor exhibits, a beer and wine garden and activities for the entire family. The festival is rain or shine, free to the public, dog friendly and all ages are welcome to attend. Other festivals in the series will be held in Asbury Park at Bradley Park on July 23 from noon to 8 p.m. and in Long Branch on

August 27 from noon to 9:30 p.m. at The Great Lawn on the boardwalk, located on Cooper Avenue. Each year, sponsor dona-tions from the Summer Series of Festivals raise essential funds for the nonprofit Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation’s opera-tional expenses. Sponsors this year include Comcast, Lagunitas, Hunterdon Distributors and 95.8 FM the WRAT.

“Our award-winning summer festival has been entertaining jazz and blues fans on the Jersey Shore for more than 25 years,” said festival organizer Dennis Eschbach. “We at-tract thousands of visitors of all ages, and in recent years the festival series has introduced new generations to the genre. Thanks to the support of our musicians, volunteers, spon-sors and host towns, we’re able to keep jazz and blues music alive on the Jersey Shore.” The Point Pleasant Borough Jazz and Blues Festival headliner is the Billy Hector Expe-rience featuring the Midnight Horns. Billy Hector, known for his soulful style, will take the stage with the Midnight Horn, for a classic blues set sure to get the audience on its feet. The Billy Hector Experience is the winner of the Asbury Park Music Awards “Best Guitarist,” “Best Blues Band” and “Living Legend” awards, as well as the two-time winner of the East Coast Rocker’s “Best Guitarist” award. Billy’s style is old school blues mixed with a little bit of rock and roll, and performances are always pas-sionate, engaging and dedicated to making the audience move. He reflects the true soul and origins of the blues. Visit jsjbf.org for more information. Con-nect with the JSJBF on Facebook at Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Festival and Twitter @JSJazzBluesFest. For information on be-coming a festival sponsor or crafter, contact Doris Lazur at 732-933-1984 or [email protected].

Sound Void? A sound void is most commonly defined as a moment lacking clarity in hearing or understanding; an empty space in one’s life caused by the absence of sound clar-ity. Sound voids usually occur in specific listening situations where an individual’s hearing loss does not permit them to de-tect or understand important sounds and speech cues. Individuals often find that sound voids result in tiring, frustrating and embarrassing situations. However you experience them – whether they happen during precious moments with your loved ones, critical conver-sations in the work place or in common everyday interactions – sound voids can detract from your ability to live your life to its fullest.

Do you often hear people talking but simply have difficulty understanding them? Do you sometimes struggle to hear clearly in background noise? Do you occasionally have trouble fol-lowing the conversation in small groups? Do you find it challenging to explain your hearing situation to others? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be experiencing the perception of “sound void”. The term sound void was created to help explain the gaps that some say that they experience in their day-to-day listening lives. If this sounds like you or someone you love, you should consider contacting your hearing health care professional today.

All Of Us Have An Autoimmune Disorder

It’s scary to think that you could have autoimmune dysfunction even though you may not have been diagnosed with a disor-der yet. I think we all have some degree of autoimmunity and if tested properly, we’d see it. Doctors think autoimmune diseases are “rare” and here I’m saying I think all of us have some degree. I’m not crazy. It’s only “rare” because the old-school tests don’t detect it until 90 percent of the tissue or organ is completely destroyed. Tests for autoimmunity are so backwards that until the symptoms are out of control and you’re in terrible pain or finally start-ing to become deformed, the tests don’t come back positive. Most of your tissue has to be destroyed or the autoimmune diagnosis is not given. Take Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease for example. These are both auto-immune diseases where your T cells (im-mune system) destroy your own thyroid gland. But people don’t get cured when they take the “standard of care” medica-tions such as thyroid hormone, or when they undergo surgery or radiation. Why aren’t they cured and why don’t they feel better when their TSH and other thyroid labs look good? The answer is easy. It’s because none of these medications stop the assault caused by the T cells, which are still trying to kill other tissues in the body. There’s a full-body cytokine storm of pro-inflammatory compounds making you miserable, even though your hormone levels are normal. Take any autoimmune disease, the best they tell you to hope for is remission.

When you have one autoimmune disease, you almost always have two or three or four. Your body creates antibodies ev-erywhere it sees an invader. Why would anyone think it stops at your thyroid, your myelin, your adrenals, your joints and cartilage or your skin cells? Here’s why you could have multiple disorders going on. It could be a patho-gen that’s gone undetected. It could be food, that’s a big trigger. Gluten is a hole puncher. You get gluten when you eat traditional bread, pasta and pastries, most notably from foods cooked with wheat, barley and rye. Gluten pokes holes in your gut, whether or not you have Celiac disease. It’s an additive. Gluten makes the “tight junctions” in your gut come loose, so various undigest-ed proteins (corn, egg, coffee, tapioca) leak out of the holes in your gut, into your blood stream. The proteins aren’t supposed to be there, they’re supposed to stay in the tube, meaning your gut. Your immune system tags these innocent foreign proteins, which only leaked out because your gut has holes. These proteins are in organs and your im-mune system is poised to destroy the tissue wherever they lodge. It’s not just gluten, it could be corn, egg, dairy, coffee and so forth. It differs for everyone. I’ve written an ebook, specifically on the topic of food, and what foods to avoid. My ebook per-tains to Hashimoto’s, however if you have any autoimmune disorder, it will help you. Sign up for my newsletter at suzycohen.com and it will come in an email.

OCEAN COUNTY – About 300 people turned out for the 10-year anniversary of the Court Appointed Special Advo-cates of Ocean County for the Dining for a Cause and Wine Tasting recently. The organizers and CASA thanks the friends, Board of Directors, sponsors, volunteers and the Wine Academy’s 11 wine vendors for helping to make the event a success. The fundraising event benefits CASA’s advocacy programs for Ocean County children in foster care. Dining for a Cause was held June 1 at Crystal Point Yacht Club, Point Pleasant. The Wine Academy, hosted 11 wine vendors sampling a selec-tion of f ine wines and spirits, amid l ive music, gif t auct ion and 50/50. Among the large-scale donors was Wel l s Fa rgo Ba n k w i t h a $7, 50 0 donat ion , a nd t he G r u n i n Fa m i ly Fou nd at ion $15,0 0 0 donat ion a nd s p on s o r sh ip of CA SA p r og r a m s .

advocates. The CASA advocate ensures that the judge in the family court system is aware of all the facts to make the best decisions for the child’s future and help that child find a permanent home. In 2015 there were 756 Ocean Coun-ty children in foster care with 150 served by a CASA volunteer advocate with many more on a wait ing l is t for a CASA advocate of their own.

OCEAN COUNTY – Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity is seeking volunteers to help construct a 55-foot tall sandcastle near the Laurita Winery. Volunteer labor in this effort will result in donations to NOHFH which will help the or-ganization build a new home in Toms River. Visit nohfh.com/hands-v-machines. Vol-unteer opportunities at Castle Laurita West are almost unlimited through the summer. For more information on volunteer registra-tion and scheduling, call and leave a voice-mail with NOHFH at 732-228-7962 ext. 108.

–Photo courtesy Hometown HeroesThe extensive damage following a May 31 fire at a historic building in downtown Toms River, where Hometown Heroes’ and other offices were operating. The building is now razed, leaving the charity homeless again.

building. It would be torn down within days, the contents from several businesses operating there were now rubble. “We have nothing. Nothing was saved,” said Schwartz in a phone interview the day after the fire. The charity Hometown Heroes has helped several thousand local residents through their own tragedies – whether Superstorm Sandy, medical and health issues, or even fire. The nonprofit has provided specific services for those in immense need, wheth-er helping with medical bills or simply distributing blankets. “We might be the charity that assists the family who is left homeless from a house fire,” Schwartz said. “Now, again, we are in that situation ourselves.” This is the second time the Hometown Heroes offices have burned down in the last two years, when the building at Robbins and Washington streets burned. Many businesses there lost all of their contents. Moving to the historic building down the street later, Hometown Heroes slowly recovered, but had yet to return to the pre-fire status quo, before the second fire struck. “We were still recovering from the 2014 fire,” Schwartz said. “We still have not recovered fully from the loss we suffered two years ago.” He described the whole experience as sur-real. “It’s hard to find the words, really,” he said. “It’s shocking. We are all speechless.” Not just a local operation, Hometown He-roes, established in 2008, has served more than 10,000 people and 2,500 families in Ocean County but also Florida and else-where through satellite offices. The Toms River office was its headquarters and local chapter operations. The tough efforts of rebuilding will begin anew after this tragedy, Schwartz said, but the organization will take its time in figuring out a new home and how to best proceed.

Fire:Continued From Page 1

“The last fire, we were still assisting families from Sandy, and needed to more quickly begin to operate to continue that mission,” he said. In the days since the fire, the nonprofit has launched a fundraising campaign to help it rebuild again. “The communities we serve were an in-strumental help in getting us back on our feet in 2014. I can only hope we will see the same generosity come forward as we can use all the help we can get at this time,” Schwartz said. To make a donation, visit USAHome-TownHeroes.org or send a check to Hometown Heroes, 236 Washington

Street, Toms River, N.J., 08753. Do-nations are tax deductible. For more information, contact Mike Schwartz at 732-567-4236. The symbolism of the incidents weighs heavy, Schwartz said. One of the items saved in the first fire was an original, large-scale painting called “Hope,” by Mike Ciccotello. The inspiring painting managed to lean in such a way during the 2014 fire that it survived destruction. It was of the few items that survived that blaze. When Hometown Heroes moved into its new offices, the “Hope” painting proudly hung, a symbol of its own hope and that

of the mission of the nonprofit. “I would meet clients and guests, and point out to them, this painting survived the fire, the painting that symbolizes hope,” Schwartz said. “Sadly, that painting is gone too now,” he said. “There were so many irreplace-able things.” Those irreplaceable things include all the time, all donated, the organization gives to run its operations, and that document its history. “To go through that, give up your life, to volunteer,” said Schwartz. “To somehow come up from the ashes with hope, but now you are back to being homeless.”

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

Hanging On The TelephoneDear Joel I ended a relationship with a girl that I had been dating for several years. It started out as a nice relationship when we were both in college. Ever since I broke up with her she has been stalking me. She bombards me with texts, e mails and phone calls. I keep on telling her to leave me alone but she continues to call. Can I hire a lawyer?Answer: You can always hire a lawyer. Find-ing someone to handle this case seems like a no brainer. Your letter leaves me perplexed. You don’t ment ion her following you to school or work. She doesn’t appear in restaurants

or stores that you a r e i n . Eve r y t h i n g that you in-cluded in her behavior has either a phone number or e mail address. The ver y fact that you haven’t changed either makes me feel that in some way you are inviting this behavior and perhaps subconsciously enjoying it. Making her go away is probably an easy fix if that’s what you really want. Take the time to analyze why you haven’t slammed the door on this one. It will be a lot cheaper than hiring an attorney who will probably give you the same advice.

A frequently asked question by per-sons buying houses is whether they need to spend the money to obtain a survey of the property they are buying. A survey is a graphic depiction of the property showing its boundary lines as well as any structures or other im-provements on the property. In many cases, the answer is easy, because many mortgage lenders will require a survey as part of the mortgage process to make sure that the property that they are mortgaging has no legal defects. But what about those cases where the mortgage lender does not require a survey or where the buyer is paying cash for the house without needing a mortgage? I believe that con-sidering the price of a house, the cost of a survey, which typically costs between $550 to $700, is money well spent. A survey will show you where are the boundary lines of the property which you are purchasing so that you know whether the property matches the description as it was portrayed in the contract or on the tax map. The sur-vey will also show whether there are any improvements such as buildings, fences, sheds, decks or pools (yes, we have had several instances where pools were built on neighbors’ properties!) on the property you are buying which encroach upon a neighboring prop-erty. It will also show whether any such improvements from neighboring properties encroach upon the property you are buying. If such encroachments

are discovered you can then request that the seller correct them before you close title on the property. In addition, all title insurance pol-icies will contain an exception for any title defects which an accurate survey would have revealed. Having a survey will allow your title insurance company to make sure that the prop-erty you are buying matches the legal description on the subdivision map or deed which created the property. If there is a discrepancy, you may not be obligated to close title on the property until the discrepancy is resolved. In addition, if, after you close title to the property, a neighbor challenges the location of the property lines between the two properties, your title insurance company will be obligated to defend the challenge and may be obligated to compensate you for any loss that you may incur if your property is not as it was shown on the survey. Without a survey, you may have to defend an encroachment action out of your own pocket, which would cost far in excess of the cost of the survey. The attorneys of R. C. Shea and Asso-ciates have over 110 years of collective experience representing buyers and we always strongly recommend that the buyers obtain a survey before closing title to the property. We also recom-mend that the buyer review the survey before the closing to make sure that the property as shown on the survey is what they thought they were buying.

are just a few of the unrealistic assump-tions on which its rosy predictions are based: The analysis looks only at predicted tax revenues 20 years from now – telling us nothing about the impact on the town’s taxes over the next 20 years. It assumes that 100 percent of all the proposed resi-dential, commercial and industrial space is always fully occupied. And it assumes Hovsons will build and sell more than 1800 three-bedroom units as age-restrict-ed. Here’s how we know this assumption is not based on real business plans: The first draft of the analysis showed the town taking a bath, even on its other unrealis-tic assumptions, so they just changed all these three-bedroom units to age restricted in order to artificially eliminate a lot of school children – all without any legal or market basis to believe the town can make Hovsons keep these units age-restricted. Most suburban towns in New Jersey will not adopt plans like this anymore because they know the math doesn’t work out. Experience and studies have shown again and again that in New Jersey, with

our heavy reliance on property taxes, big developments in suburban towns result in a net fiscal loss to municipalities. And the costs of new development, once built, just increase. Commercial development is often touted as the answer to offset the increased costs of services to new residents. But that is also a Trojan horse. Commercial development also brings municipal costs, and towns with lots of commercial usually have high-er taxes than those with less. That’s only partly because new commercial ratables often displace existing ones – another point which the fiscal impact analysis completely ignores. If Council adopts Ordinance #16-022, it would give all the power to the devel-oper, and if the town changes its mind in the future there will be nothing you can do to stop this project. The residents of Manchester Township should demand that Council deny ordinance #16-022. Call Mayor Palmer at 732-657-8121 and tell him how you feel.

TOMS RIVER – Ocean County plans to install three treatment devices in Toms River Township that help stop floatables and sediments from entering the Toms River and ultimately Barnegat Bay. “The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freehold-ers made a commitment to protect Barnegat Bay and these treatment devices are among the ways we are preserving this waterway,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Engineer-ing Department. “We have installed several of these devices around Ocean County and know they are a help in keeping pollutants out of our bay and its tributaries.” The Board of Freeholders expects to award a contract to Underground Utilities Corp., Linden, in the amount of $508,421 to perform the work, which is scheduled to begin this summer. The Manufactured treatment devices will be installed at existing drainage outfalls on East Wa-ter Street, Caldwell Lane and Lakehurst Road. The concrete device works to force particles or sediment to drop to the bottom of it. The Ocean County Road Department’s stormwater manage-ment crews can easily remove the sediment from the treatment device and properly dispose of it. “These projects are very important because we are treating areas that have not been treated before,” said Kelly, who also serves as director of Law and Public Safety. “In the 1970s, basins were designed for flood control. In the 1990s, we began addressing water quality like removing trash and sediments from stormwater. Now we continue to remove sediment and also nutrients.” The focus of the installation of the manufactured treatment devices has been the Toms River watershed. “The Toms River watershed feeds into the bay,” Kelly said. “By stopping sediments from entering the river we are curtailing floatables from entering the bay.”

Treatment Devices To Help Protect Barnegat Bay

Ocean County’s commitment to protecting and preserving one of its most treasured resources – Barnegat Bay – stems back decades to the creation of the Ocean County Utilities Authority in 1976. “The creation of the OCUA brought a halt to discharging sewage into the bay and implement-ed a state-of-the-art treatment system in order to protect the environment,” said Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who serves as liaison to the OCUA. “Over the years, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders has implemented a series of steps to keep pollution from entering local waterways and today it continues to expand its scope of managing stormwater and runoff.” Funding from the New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust will be used to pay for a portion of the construction cost. “We have been working in partnership with the state to help protect the bay,” Kelly said. “The trust has helped to fund the installation of many of these treatment devices.”


Professional Profile

By Joyce Blay Cancer patients have a “breast” friend in Toms River surgical specialist Dr. Barbara P. Schneider, M.D., F.A.C.S., radiation oncology. Dr. Schneider believes in treating the whole patient. “Breast cancer is not just a medical illness, it’s a psy-chological illness,” she tells a visitor. “Patients not only ask themselves, ‘Am I going to live?’ They also ask them-selves, ‘What am I going to look like?’ While Dr. Schneider treats men as well as women, she maintains that women as a group react to a diagnosis of breast cancer differently than men. “Breast cancer is different from any other cancer be-cause breasts are so visible and prominent in a woman,” Dr. Schneider says. “Breast cancer is almost a betrayal of who the patient is as a woman.” A patient undergoing treat-ment for breast cancer may not only suffer the loss of a breast, but the loss of her hair. Dr. Schneider is that patient’s staunch advocate, supported by a network of specialists that work with her to ensure that patients diagnosed with breast cancer receive the

most appropr iate plan of treatment. “I feel very strongly about my patients,” she says. “I give them a treatment plan that addresses all of their needs.” The years have only strength-ened her resolve to continue that practice. Dr. Schneider began her academic career as a biology major at Rensselaer Poly-technic Institute in Troy, NY. In 1977, she graduated from Albany Medical College. She interned at Bronx Municipal Hospital Center in New York City, then completed the rest of her 5-year surgical resi-dency at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. In 1985, Dr. Schneider brought her medical exper-tise to Toms River, NJ, where she opened a private practice. She has hospital pr ivi leg-es with Community Medical Center. Because Dr. Schneider is a woman, she of fers the predominantly female breast cancer patients she treats a uniquely empathetic and com-passionate understanding of their needs. She also offers a range of other surgical procedures in the treatment of various diag-nosed conditions. While Dr. Schneider treats

many different conditions, the majority of her patients are diagnosed with breast cancer. Each breast is as individual as the person being treated, Dr. Schneider maintains. Her goal is to save both patient and breast. As an expert in the technique of oncoplastic surgery, which increases the rate of breast conserva-tion, she has a greater rate of success than many other surgeons nationwide report-ed. Her local recurrence rate following breast conserving surgery is less than 1% com-pared to a nationwide rate of 9.7%. All patients are in good hands as soon as they enter Dr. Schneider’s office, conve-niently located next to Com-munity Medical Center. Dr. Schneider’s two experienced assistants share her philoso-phy, she says. They expertly assess each patient in order to triage their needs prior to seeing Dr. Schneider. Patients praise Dr. Schnei-der’s work and her results in comments posted online. “You and your staff were professional, compassionate and caring,” Gail wrote in her online rating of Dr. Schneider.

“I’d recommend you to anyone.” Another patient expressed gratitude to Dr. Schneider for

the results she achieved. “Thank you for 6 years can-cer free!” Donna exclaimed in her online comment. Still another patient com-mented on Dr. Schneider’s warmth and understanding, as well as the quality of her surgical expertise. “I felt as if you knew me al-though we had just met,” Sue wrote in an online post. “You took all my fears, worries, and concerns put them on a table and tackled them BEFORE I had the chance to verbalize them. You do know the “being” beyond the human and made a scary situation very calm. I had no post- op pain and have never seen such a beautiful incision line.” In 2015, Dr. Schneider re-ceived the Compassionate Doctor Recognition from Vi-tals, a New Jersey organi-zation that annually honors the nation’s favorite doctors based on patient reviews and ratings. For the past 35 years, Dr. Schneider has strived to help

her patients survive, as well as thrive, despite a diagnosis of breast cancer. The odds are increasingly in their favor. “A diagnosis of breast cancer is no longer a death sentence,” Dr. Schneider says. “One of the biggest reasons is the increased use of screen -ing mammograms since the 1980s. Why should anyone check out at age 70 when they may have a good quality of life until they’re 90? At any age, a screening mammogram is the best investment a woman can make in her quality of life.” For further information, visit Dr. Schneider’s Web site at barbaraschneidermd.com.

Office hours are Monday and Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The office is closed on weekends.

Cooking With The Kids: Old-Fashioned Pudding Recipe Is A Timeless Classic

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING Serves 4

6 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup (250 mL) loosely packed golden brown sugar 1/4 cup (60 mL) loosely packed dark brown sugar 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise in half, seeds scraped out and reserved1 3/4 cups (435 mL) plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream, divided1 cup (250 mL) plus 2 tablespoons whole milk Pinch of fine sea salt1/4 generous cup (65 mL) cornstarch 6 large cage-free egg yolks In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the butter, both the golden brown and dark brown sugars, and seeds you scraped from the vanilla pod. (Reserve the scraped-out pod, if you like, to put in an airtight sugar canister to make vanilla-scented sugar.) Place the pan over high heat and carefully cook, stirring often, until the mixture turns bubbling and dark brown, 3 to 5 minutes. In a measuring cup or bowl, stir together 1 cup (250 mL) plus 2 tablespoons of the cream and all of the milk. Carefully whisk them into the hot sugar mixture and add the sea salt. Bring the mixture back to a boil, whisking until smooth.

Remove the pan from the heat. Put the remaining 3/4 cup (185 mL) cream in the refrigerator to chill. Sift the cornstarch through a fine-meshed sieve into a large heatproof bowl. While whisking continuously, grad-ually pour the hot cream-sugar mixture into the cornstarch. Return the mixture to the same saucepan and bring to a boil, whisking constantly, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Briskly whisk in a little of the hot butterscotch mixture to temper the eggs. Then, whisk the egg mixture into the remaining butterscotch in the saucepan; and, while continuing to whisk constantly, bring the mixture almost to a boil, about 1 minute. Pour the custard through a wire-meshed sieve set over a large bowl, pressing it through with a rubber spatula. Ladle the custard into four martini glasses or glass serving bowls. Leave the glasses or bowls at room temperature to cool. Then, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold, up to overnight. Before serving, put the remaining chilled cream in a large bowl. Whisk by hand or with electric beaters until the cream forms soft peaks that droop slightly when the beaters or whisk are lifted out. Remove the plastic wrap from the chilled puddings. Spoon a dollop of whipped cream on top of each pudding. You can even sprinkle a little brown sugar over the top if you want. Serve immediately.
