By Shawn Smith OCEAN COUNTY – More than a year after the closing of the Tent City in Lakewood, some residents have begun a smaller community in Howell. While some people are living off the land, one woman is working toward bringing “tiny homes” to New Jersey. Sherry Rubel, a local photographer, documented life at the Tent City in Lakewood for over four years, in an exhibition now on display at the Ocean County Artists Guild.

A Push For Tiny Homes To Replace Tent City While documenting Tent City, she saw first-hand the effects of homelessness, and that was where the idea for “tiny homes” was born. In 2014, Rubel met with State Sen. Stephen Sweeney and came up with bill S2110, the “Tiny Home” pilot program, which was reintroduced this year. The legislation is part of a larger, three-part program Rubel is hoping to develop, called the Revival Village Project.

History:Continued From Page 1

1974, Ford became President. Reagan – who had left office as governor in 1975, after two terms, had briefly con-sidered running for President in 1968 and by 1976 was the leading spokesman for Republican conservatives. The Democrats saw a wide open primary contest between United States Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson of Washington, Congressman Morris Udall of Arizona, Alabama Governor George C. Wallace, and former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter. Like today, the Presidential contest in both parties started in the winter with a party caucus in Iowa and a primary election in New Hampshire – but ending with June primaries in California, Ohio and New Jer-sey. In 2016, Ohio’s primary was in March. Throughout the winter and spring of 1976, the candidates battled it out, from week to week and month to month. For the Democrats, by late spring, Jimmy Carter had emerged as the front runner. For the Republicans, it remained a toss up.The New Jersey Primary – 40 Years Ago Both political parties in New Jersey put together election slates – delegates and alternate delegates – in support of their presidential candidates. For the Democrats in New Jersey, on the Carter statewide slate was Assemblyman John Paul Doyle, from Brick; Udall had Bill Bradley on his team – still, then, a New York Knicks basketball player; and an “Un-Committed” slate was led by United States Senator Harrison A. Williams. For the Republicans, Ford’s statewide slate was led by United States Senator Clifford P. Case, Congresswoman Millicent Fenwick, and Assemblyman (and later Governor) Thomas H. Kean. Reagan’s name was not on the GOP primary ballot in New Jersey as he chose to marshal his resources for the Ohio and California primaries held the same day as New Jersey’s. Instead, those New Jersey

Republicans supporting Reagan simply ran under the slogan “Former Calif. Governor for President” – and pledged to vote for him at the GOP convention if elected. In 1976, Dover Township (now Toms River) was part of the Sixth Congressional District (today, Toms River is the Third District). The Democrats ran slates based on the state legislative districts in 1976. For the Republicans, in the Sixth Congres-sional District, Ford’s delegate slate was led by the district’s sitting Congressman, Edwin B. Forsythe. The Ford slate was challenged by a Reagan group led by Brick Councilman Edward Musgrave. The June 8, 1976 voting for the Democrats in Dover Township was close. The at-large vote for uncommitted won 822 to 797 over Carter, but the local 9th legislative district candidates split with one delegate candidate for Carter receiving the most votes and one for uncommitted receiving the second high-est out of a field of 12 candidates. For the Republicans, Ford trounced the Reagan upstarts by a margin of almost 3-1. In the Sixth District, Congressman Forsythe received the most votes – 21,867. An 18 year-old Ocean County College student and Reagan alternate delegate candidate, J. Mark Mutter, came in next to last with 8,128 votes.

The Aftermath Carter would go on to secure his party’s nomination at the Democratic Convention in a first ballot vote of almost 75 percent. Ford would not have it so easy. He narrowly defeat-ed Reagan in delegate votes – 1187 to 1070. In the November 1976 election, Carter narrowly defeated Ford and would serve one term as President. He was defeated for re-election by Reagan in 1980 in a landslide. –Sources: Dover Township 1976 election file; New Jersey Secretary of State “Records of the Primary Election-1976”; Wikipedia. J. Mark Mutter is the Toms River Township Clerk and Historian. He is Chairman of the Semiquincentennial Committee that is planning the Township’s 250th anniversary in 2017.

director for the plays of Toms River High School South, but she also inspired so many of the students she worked with. Kline was remembered in a special event May 21 at First Presbyterian Church, and at the spring Encore! event that showcases the thespian accomplishments of that year’s pro-ductions in the Toms River Regional School System. Kline, 77, passed away March 24, about a week after the High School South Indians had their production for “The Drowsy Chap-erone.” South Toms River High School English teacher Kristine Perry, who serves as director of school musicals and thespian co-advisor remembered Kline with fondness. “I have known Faith for nearly 30 years when she was giving voice lessons in Island Heights to many of my high school friends. She quickly became my voice teacher and from there, my friend, godmother to one of my daughters, vocal and piano instructor to my daughters, my musical director at South for countless musicals, cabarets and vocal events,” Perry said. Kline worked in countless theater and music efforts locally, whether through teaching, through the high schools, or at Ocean County College, and in each place she was a fixture. “I often would refer to her as my guardian angel,” Perry said. “She was a very special person who touched the lives of so many students and adults throughout the com-munity. Her death has been devastating for

me personally and the students at South are heartbroken over it.” “She gave tremendously of her time and gift of music to our productions,” Perry said. “Faith is a member of the musical community and has been for many years.” Though Kline was not a teacher in Toms River at the time of her death, she was a public school music teacher years ago, according to Perry. Kline had also worked in New Jersey and California. After Kline retired in 2001, she helped Per-ry by being a vocal director for the South’s musicals. Perry said that Kline’s community work included various churches in Forked River, Toms River and Brick where she generously volunteered enormous amounts of time, often filling in as the minister of music when needed, working with both children’s and adult choirs. Toms River High School South senior Matt Sycle is among the many music students impacted by Kline. The senior performed at the Encore program held at Toms River High School North which featured scenes from musicals performed at High School North, High School South and High School East along with each intermediate school. It was decided that as a more fitting tribute to their late teacher, Sycle would perform a monologue as part of the musical “Drowsey Chaperone.” Sycle said he was honored to take part in the program and described Kline as “a ball of sunshine. She was always energetic and happy. I met her in my freshman year and she also taught me during my sophomore and

senior years,” he said. Her efforts went beyond the work in the high school, as Kline also shared her musical skills at church. “She put her heart into teaching and music. She also played organist for two churches and gave private lessons. She was always working,” Sycle said. She was an organist for such churches and Pinelands Reformed Church in Toms River and Forked River Presbyterian. Kline truly cared, he said. One special touch that Kline provided that Sycle said he will al-ways cherish was “that after every production ended she would always sent all of us involved a private card of congratulations. It meant a lot to us and made it personal.” According to her obituary, the impact Kline had on students was personal, but also im-pacted their careers tremendously, as many of her students went on to college and then found their own success in musical fields including Broadway. Possessing a solo soprano voice herself, she sang both here and abroad including London, England in such works as Handel’s Messiah. She served for many years as the Music Director of “Three Story Players Theatre Company” at Ocean County College, all while serving as Music Director for the Toms River High School South’s musical productions since 2001. The cast of her last production, “The Drowsy Chaperone” at South, was a 49 student cast and full orchestra. This year, Toms River Councilman Brian Kubiel asked all the staff and students from all three high schools’ theater productions attend

a council meeting and accept a proclamation of thanks from the council for their efforts in bringing the plays to life. Perry, speaking at the meeting alongside her students, shared comments on Kline and what this year’s production meant. “The musicals in Toms River are so special and we have such support from the commu-nity,” Perry said. “The students embraced the show and they did such a tremendous job.” She explained the plot of “The Drowsy Chaperone” is set in the 1920s and now: “It is really a play within a play,” she said. “It is a love letter to musical theater.” That made this year more poignant. “I have to say it was a very special experience this year. Tragically, we lost our music director in an accident a week after the show. I’m sorry she can’t be here with me to share this nice honor. But I appreciate it, thank you very much.” The May 21 event at First Presbyterian in Toms River was a celebration of Kline’s life, where many of her students and colleagues came to perform and sing in her honor. Mes-sages and remembrances were shared in the special event. Kline requested money donations be made to benefit her favorite animal shelters as well as the music program at Toms River High School South “with the ultimate goal of replacing the Performance Piano at the High School in her honor,” read her obituary. Donations can be sent to Kristine Perry (Theater Arts Director at the High School) 114 Brick Avenue Lanoka Harbor, New Jersey 08734, with checks made to Kristine Perry with a notation in the memo area if you have a specific request.

Letters To The EditorFeatured Letter

This is in response to the recent John O’Rourke’s letter praising the misnamed “Fair Tax” (HR 25/ S 155). Mr. O’Rourke is fond of using the verb “will” in con-junction with his tax plan, as in “will eliminate all federal taxes on income” or “foreign trade will boom.” In fact he uses the word no fewer than 17 times, the penultimate of which predicts that his “FairTax will elimi-nate the IRS as we know it.”

Sanctuary Cities Funding Bad Idea I consider myself as a con-servative/independent voter. Republican or Democrat I will vote for the candidate most closely aligned with my posi-tions. I guess I made a mistake in voting for Tom McArthur for congress. This guy had the gall to vote funding for these “sanctuary cities.” Taking a closer at him he must have thought this was a racial issue. These cities such as Newark and other N.J. cities, as well as across this nation, put illegals and criminals out of the reach of the law. Just look at the crime rate in these cities and the people committing them. Thanks for nothing, McArthur.William McPhailToms River

Facing a growing divide between the “haves and have nots” with the young and mid-dle class squeezed from all sides, 22 candidates vied for the presidential nomination. Sadly, celebrity and bombast prevailed over reality leav-ing only three standing, all flawed. One is an ego-maniac who shoots from his hip and vul-gar mouth but sadly appeals to those who prefer enter-tainment and disrespectful conduct, even violence. The second, also an ego maniac who would rather destroy his party and a fellow candidate if he can’t win, he convinces naive young people they warrant more government entitlements that will never be approved for they would bankrupt our country further taxing an already endangered middle class. The third, most well known but often dis-liked, has a history of repeat scandals and deception. Do we toss a coin or do we swallow hard recognizing that only one has the experience, knowledge, maturity and ca-pability of governing in very turbulent times for our nation and world? How sorrowful that we would have to make this unhappy choice. Our voting process is also flawed, as campaigning starts

Fair Tax Misnamed

The writer of “The Puzzle in the Middle East” recent letter holds that the area is a powder keg, it’s about to explode and it is all the fault of President Obama. This simplistic state-ment completely ignores all the different people, religions, ambitions, animosities and prejudices that have bedev-iled this region and all the statesmen and women from many countries who have striven to find a path to peace. Andrew Bacevich, West Point, retired colonel, PhD, specializing in international relations and history, posits the US has been at war in the Middle East since January 1980 - that’s Presidents Car-ter, Reagan, Bush the Elder, Clinton, Bush the Younger and Obama inherited all they did, their successes (few) and shortcomings (plenty, but not for lack of trying). May 14 was the 100th an-niversary of the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the secret plan of France, the UK and Russia to divide up the Ottoman Empire after World War I. Why do I mention it? In 2014, ISIL declared in a statement that one of their goals was to undo Sykes-Picot. If one of the major problems in the area is a secret treaty signed long before any of us was born, do not be per-suaded that all the failings of a century should or must be laid at the feet of a man only eight years on the job. It’s just not fair.Michael F. FlynnManahawkin

As the weather gets warmer and we begin to spend more time outside again, we are reminded of the value and importance of our parks and open spaces. Yet, over the last few years, we have seen these irreplaceable assets threatened by privatization, commercialization and de-velopment. Recently, we have seen Lib-erty State Park come under attack with a new proposal to build barge docking stations between the coast of the park and Ellis Island. These dock-ing stations would essentially turn this area of the water-front into a parking lot for commercial barges, not only altering the park’s unrivaled views of New York City, but potentially disrupting ferry service as well. This is only an example of the type of development that continues to threaten our val-ued open spaces throughout New Jersey. We must come together to remind govern-ment officials that open spac-es around the state are not for sale, but rather, are priceless community assets that should be protected. Stand with me as we take on this threat to the development of parks and open spaces in New Jersey. Sign a petition that says “No” to the proposed docking stations in Liberty State Park and affirms your commitment to protecting open space in New Jersey. Steven FulopMayor, Jersey City

As the subject of both an Academy Award winning documentary and a star-stud-ded Hollywood movie, it was among the most stun-ning stories of inhumani-ty in 21st-century America: In 2005, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders stood unflinchingly united in their stone-cold-hearted op-position to a dying woman’s repeated pleas for justice. That woman, literally gasping for her last breaths every step of the way in her struggle for equality, was Lt. Laurel Hester of the Ocean Coun-ty Prosecutor’s Office who had heroically served New Jersey’s citizens as a police officer for a quarter century. Facing certain death as a result of her terminal illness, Lt. Hester’s last request of the freeholders was simply to be treated equally by allowing her to assign her death ben-efits to her legal domestic partner, as would automati-cally be the case with every married heterosexual public employee in New Jersey. De-spite the law at the time that permitted such requests, the county’s lawmakers saw fit to stand firm in discriminating against Lt. Hester based on her sexual orientation. In his moral condescension, Free-holder Jack Kelly argued that granting equality to Laurel would “violate the sanctity of marriage.” But Hester would ultimately prevail in her heart-wrench-ing quest for equal dignity. Four of the five freeholders, guided by compassion and conscience, eventually rec-ognized they were on the wrong side of history and courageously reversed their stance in a hastily-called spe-

cial board meeting just weeks before Laurel’s death. The lone holdout was Freehold-er Kelly who, in an almost equally stunning display of cowardice, refused to attend the final meeting to defend his shallow-minded moral principles. Quite frankly, I don’t have much use for anyone, let alone a public official, who uses their religion to justi-fy harming another human being. Whether it’s radical Islam or extremist Christi-anity, this sort of frequently hypocritical self-righteous-ness has no place in our government. So why on earth would Governor Christie nominate a man with such a disgraceful record of bigotry for a seat on the New Jersey Parole Board, a position that demands at least some mini-mal degree of compassion in judging others? According to recent reports, Governor Christie and NJ Senate President Stephen Sweeney have both agreed that Freeholder Kelly has the character and qualifica-tions to serve on the parole board. To reward Kelly with a six-figure pension-padding political plum after the way he has so intolerantly treated others is simply beyond the pale, even by New Jersey standards. It’s a blot on Lau-rel Hester’s legacy of equal justice for all and a slap in the face to every single decent human being in the state of New Jersey. We shouldn’t stand for it.Dane B. WellsJacksonWells is the retired detective who served as Laurel Hes-ter’s partner in the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office

There is nothing new or innovative in the FairTax; it is no different from the so-called flat tax ideas trotted out semi-annually which invari-ably favor the wealthy. Who would benefit the most from the eradication of the IRS: the middle class or the top ten percent? Mr O’Rourke also neglects to tell us that flat tax-es customarily exclude such popular deductions as medi-cal expenses, local property taxes, and home mortgage interest. No, there is nothing original in the FairTax. Nor is there anything good in it, at least for the working class.Michael J DohertyBerkeley

almost two years before the election, the manner of appor-tioning delegates is question-able, the need to raise millions of dollars corrupts the best of people and exposing one’s self and family to lies and person-ality assaults leads the most qualified to stay out of the fray. The best of the lot may have been John Kasich. However neither he nor other serious candidates ever had a chance: often ignored in debates, manipulated by “gotcha” questions, moderators fo-cusing on more well known candidates and a media that promoted a loose cannon who would attract more viewers thus raising the profits of the networks and sponsors. How sad and frightening for our country and world in these perilous times. God help us!Seymour BrotmanManchester

TOMS RIVER – For nearly 230 years, Toms River Town-ship has stored thousands of containers of records. Records are a basic tool of government administration. Records provide information for planning, government accountability and are often subject to legal requirements. Records management is an

essential part of governmen-tal record keeping. Records management is the prac-tice of managing records throughout their life cycle, from the time they are creat-ed to their eventual disposal. This includes identifying, classifying, storing, secur-ing, retrieving, tracking and destroying or permanently preserving records. Records such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, building plans, maps, contracts and

minutes must be properly maintained. To further enhance our Township Records Depart-ment, the governing body approved a resolution in December for the purchase of new records management software for the Clerk’s of-fice. Under New Jersey law, it is the legal mandate of the municipal clerk to act as the legal custodian of all municipal records. With the implementation of Records

Mine, a records information management system from Sunrise Systems, the Town-ship now has a central syn-ergistic approach to records management. All files are tracked on a computer database and orga-nized by department, such as Finance, Law, Engineering, etc. Records that require disposition can be sent to the state electronically for im-mediate approval to destroy. The new program will cut

down on time spent search-ing for records requests for various departments and the public. Toms River is one of many towns across New Jersey that has invested in this pro-gram. The state also uses Records Mine to keep track of thousands of containers of records at the State House in Trenton. Our Township Records staff is currently training on this new system and we anticipate going live

within the next month or so. Records are one of the Township’s most valuable assets. Good records man-agement not only helps pro-tect records and preserve the Township’s history, but it also enhances the Township’s operational efficiency. Some of the Township’s earliest records date back to 1783. To tell future generations about our Township’s story means properly archiving these doc-uments of our treasured past.

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County officials say that while the state’s criminal justice bail reform may have good intentions, it’s the price tag that will be passed along to taxpayers that has them very concerned. Citing the impact the down-turn in the economy and Superstorm Sandy has had on the county’s finances, officials voiced disappoint-ment that the mandated bail reform program comes with no financial help from the state for implementation. “We can’t print money like the federal government nor should we have to impose upon our taxpayers to fund the state’s criminal justice re-form,” said Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who serves as liaison to the Department of Finance. New Jersey voters, in the November 2014 general elec-tion, approved an amend-ment to the state Constitution that allows for bail reform. Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little said however the ballot question didn’t mention it would come with a significant cost to the tax-payer. “The ballot question, un-fortunately, seemed to omit

From The Desk Of The Ocean County Freeholders:Bail Reform Costs Concerns Freeholders

several key impacts, but our greatest concern is who will be responsible to pay for its implementation,” Little said. “The funding source for bail reform comes from local taxpayers. It should not have to be our taxpayers.” Little strongly emphasized the people of New Jersey ap-proved a state mandate state pay constitutional amend-ment and it’s the state’s re-sponsibility to fully fund this new mandate. According to the New Jer-sey Courts website, starting January 1, 2017, the state will shift from a system that relies principally on setting monetary bail as a condition of release to a risk-based system. The statute also sets deadlines for the timely filing of an indictment and the dis-position of criminal charges for incarcerated defendants.Pilot programs in three vic-inages, Camden, Morris/Sussex and Passaic counties are all underway and all have noted the heavy price tag associated with the program. “With this legislation, we have to provide more space, more personnel, more over-time pay,” said Ocean Coun-ty Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, director of Law and

Public Safety. “These costs add up and they add up fast. “Since we are obligated to follow the law and implement this reform in Ocean County, as a board we are entrusted by the taxpayers to make certain it is cost effective,” Kelly said. “From what we are hearing, this reform is nothing short of costly for the counties.” Already starting with over-crowded conditions in its court facilities, the county must now find room to accommodate at least the 15 new employees the Ocean County vicinage expects to bring on as part of the bail reform. “And that is just the first number we have received,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to Buildings and Grounds. “Our court facilities are heavily used by the public and space is already at a premium. “We cannot magically erect new buildings to accommo-date more employees. These things take time and careful planning and should be fully funded by the state of New Jersey,” Vicari said. And, new sheriff’s officers, assistant prosecutors and

associated staff will have to be hired by the county.“A program like this requires a number of new positions,” said Freeholder Virginia E. Haines. “But the question remains how do we pay for them?” While the state is expected to pay the salaries of the Pre-trial Services Unit that would be established to run the bail reform program, millions of dollars in other costs must be borne by the counties. “But, we must pay for the operation, maintenance and capital improvements to the courthouse and we are mandated by the state to fund county sheriff and prosecutor’s offices,” Kelly said. “The additional staff is needed because a lot of this work is expected to take place within 48 hours of an arrest. Almost assuredly this would include weekends when we are not generally operating.” Vicari said the counties were not provided a true picture by the state when it was proposing these reforms.“No one realized the long-term financial ramifications. The state didn’t talk about it,” Vicari said. “The state can’t impose a two percent cap on

us and then give us an unpaid state mandate. “Our county has a large population of seniors who live on fixed incomes,” Vi-cari said. “They shouldn’t have to pay for this.” The New Jersey Association of Counties, an advocacy group for county govern-ments in New Jersey, sug-gests Boards of Freeholders throughout the state sup-port the proposed “County Government Criminal Jus-tice Reform Administration Fund,” which if approved by the state legislature, would modestly increase certain criminal and civil court fees and dedicate the increases to county governing bod-ies to implement the new criminal justice reform law. The proposed legislation has the support of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. John Donnadio, president of NJAC, recently told the Free-holders the criminal justice reform legislation does come with significant costs that were not anticipated. He suggested the Freehold-ers reach out to their state legislative delegations to specifically discuss criminal justice reform.

“We have to get some kind of legislative relief,” he said. “We have to let them know these are real expenses.” Costs to implement the re-form from county to county differ, but in most cases the price tag is in the millions. The total costs for all coun-ties collectively to implement the legislation could be an estimated $50 million in the first year. County officials have sug-gested that at the conclusion of the current pilot program, the state should survey the stakeholders including prose-cutors, sheriffs, judiciary and freeholders in order to look at alternatives that will make the new law less burdensome on the taxpayers. “Based on the results of the survey, the law could be amended,” Little said. Meanwhile, the new bail reform is said to possibly result in a reduction of the county jail population, but there is no way to calculate how much savings that would provide, if any. “It all comes back to the costs associated with bail reform,” Bartlett said. “I am hopeful the state will see its clear responsibility and fund the changes.”

TOMS RIVER – The Toms River Police Department has partnered with 7-Eleven to help police officers recognize outstanding citizens, especially the youth throughout the community. For over 20 years, 7-Eleven has partnered with law enforcement agencies across the country to distribute free Slurpee drink coupons through Operation Chill, its popular community-service program. Nationwide, the use of Slurpee coupons has proven to enhance relations with the residents of their cities by rewarding them for good deeds, positive activities and acts of kindness. Operation Chill was devel-oped by 7-Eleven to positively reward and encourage good behavior by kids during the hot summer months, when communi-ties may experience increases in loitering, shoplifting and graffiti, and to support law enforcement agencies’ community relations projects. Since the program’s inception in 1995, more than 15 million Operation Chill cou-pons have been distributed to hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the coun-

Police Department To Issue Free Slurpee Coupons

try in areas where 7-Eleven operates stores. During 2016, up to 1.28 million coupons will be issued nationally, with hundreds of them being distributed by Toms River Police Officers, most during the summer months and back-to-school season. Operation Chill began in Philadelphia to give law enforcement officers a positive reason to interact with children and teens and has since expanded to cities across the country. Through Operation Chill, law enforcement officers from participating local police and sheriff’s departments can “ticket” citizens caught in the act of doing good with Slurpee beverage coupons. Ap-propriate “offenses” might include helping another person, deterring crime, practicing good traffic and pedestrian safety habits or participating in a positive activity in the community. Each coupon can be redeemed for a small Slurpee drink at participating 7-Eleven stores. Information on this community relations program can be directed to Sgt. Gene Bachonski at [email protected].

TWITCHING EYELIDS

P.S. While eyelid spasms may occur without any identifiable cause and are rarely a sign of a serious problem, they may be caused by lack of sleep, eye irritation, stress, medical side effects, or alcohol/tobacco/caffeine use.

www.oceancountyeye.com

The term “blepharospasm” refers to the repetitive, involuntary spasm of the eyelid that most often occurs in the upper eyelid, although it can occur in the lower lid. When twitching becomes persistent and/or annoying, it’s time to schedule an appointment with the eye doctor. Some people experience spasms that are mild and feel like a gentle tug on the eyelid, while others suffer from spasms that are so strong that they force them to close their eyes. The spasms may occur every few seconds for a minute or two, or the twitch can occur on and off over a period of days. In the rare cases that the problem does not resolve, Botox injections can help stop the muscle contractions. In most cases, eyelid twitch goes away on its own with rest or removal of irritating factors. If you have persistent eyelid twitch, contact SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. to determine the underlying cause and to obtain any treatment that may be needed. Regular eye examinations by your ophthalmologist are the best way to detect eye diseases, and annual testing is the only sure path to early detection. Trust your eyes to our vast experience and knowledge. Please call 732-349-5622 to schedule an appointment.

By Catherine Galioto BERKELEY – Plans for a new t-hangar for the Ocean County Airport off Route 530 are advancing, with a land-lease contract signed and design work complete by the county. Formerly known as Miller Airpark, the facil-ity has a waiting list to house planes, showing the demand for an additional t-hangar at the 822-acre site, county freeholders said. An eight unit t-hangar building would be constructed by the end of this year adjacent to the existing t-hangar buildings, said Free-holder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the facility. The expansion also includes $1.6 million in improvements to the main runway’s lighting system, which Vicari said will improve safety for pilots coming into and leaving the airport. The freeholder said the cost of the project will be paid for through a lease agreement. Ocean Aircraft Storage, a partner with county’s fixed based operator, Ocean Aire, will operate the new t-hangar. “The county developed a land lease with Ocean Aircraft Storage that will allow for the construction of the new t-hangar building…Ocean Aircraft Storage will construct the t-hangar building at its own cost and expense,” Vicari said in a press release. “This new t-han-gar will be of no cost to the county and will answer a growing need at this facility.” The lease is a 10-year term with an option of two additional 10-year terms. The county will annually receive 15 percent of the gross revenue or $5,000, whichever is higher. The construction of the new t-hangar, the fifth at the site, would bring the capacity to 45 individual units at the airport. Currently there are four t-hangar buildings consisting of 36 individual units. “Because of the waiting list we anticipate the new hangar will be filled as soon as work is completed,” Vicari said. Completion of the building is expected in December.More Improvements The hangar and other improvements are part of a long-term plan for the airport, the Airport Capital Improvement Program, and also consistent with the Pinelands Memoran-dum of Agreement. The site is surrounded by hundreds of acres of Pinelands, in Pinewald and the border with Whiting.

The airpark has a 6,000 foot runway, a newer crosswind runway and is used by private air-planes, small corporate jets, the state Forest Fire Service planes, the Civil Air Patrol and Emergency Services aircraft. Since 1990, Ocean County has received more than $23 million in federal and state funding for airport improvements. But the current runway lighting system is more than 20 years old and scheduled for replacement. “We are applying for federal funding for 90 percent of the cost of the replacement project and for state funding for five percent of the to-tal cost,” Vicari said of the $1.6 million project. The design work, funded also by federal and state grants was completed last year. The project includes the installation of high intensity runway/threshold edge lights and high intensity flush mounted runway edge lights. It should take about three months to complete after a bid is awarded, possibly later this month. Last year, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders approved two grant applications to the state Department of Transportation: $788,800 for taxiway and apron crack repairs, and $704,000 for a t-hangar taxi-lane construc-tion project. Around the same time, county crews began a series of safety improvements, most noticeable trimming or removing trees near the main runway to improve visibility.

County Airpark New Hangar Expected To Open December

Cruisin’ Downtown Schedule

NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey State Elks Association National Veteran’s Service Commission (NVSC) of the Southeast District (SED) held the “Jerry MacIntyre M*A*S*H Picnic” in conjunction with the SED Army of Hope (AOH) Bocce tournament on May 14. Over 125 people attended the combined picnic, including nearly 40 veterans from local nursing homes. The event featured a barbeque style picnic, Bocci tournament and entertainment by DJ Chuck Crerand. The Bocce tournament raised over $350 for the Army of Hope Committee. The AOH Committee runs fundraisers throughout the year to raise funds for Wounded Warriors and the families of Fallen Heroes from the state of New Jersey. Both the NVSC and the AOH Committees help veterans and or their families. The tournament was held on the grounds of

Elks Association Holds Successful Picnic

Brick Elks Lodge 2151. Lodges from within the SED competed in the Bocce tournament. Eight rounds of tournament play left two teams competing for the title of champion. Team members from Manahawkin Lodge 2340 outscored Point Pleasant Elks Lodge 1698 to take first place in the battle, boasting a final score of 11 to 5. The winning team received the honor to present their donation to the Army of Hope Committee on September 11, during the AOH major fundraiser to be held at Lacey Elks Lodge 2518. The Chairman of the NVSC SED, Rosemary Hein, thanked all of the attendees and team participants for their support. She went on to say, “This picnic was successful because of all of you who supported this combined event. The SED NVSC is amazing. Their support will help our local Veterans and the families of our Fallen Heroes and our Wounded Warriors.”

By Catherine Galioto TOMS RIVER – A charity left homeless for the second time in two years is seeking help after a May 31 fire destroyed the historic building that nonprofit Hometown Heroes shared with other businesses. The charity Hometown Heroes has helped sev-eral 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, whether helping with medical bills or simply distributing blankets. Now, Hometown Heroes is again asking for help, fundraising after 236 Washington Street caught fire. This is the second time the Hometown Heroes offices have burned down in the last two years,

The Toms River office was its headquarters and local chapter operations. In the days since the fire, the nonprofit has launched a fundraising campaign to help it rebuild again. To make a donation, visit USAHomeTown-Heroes.org or send a check to Hometown Heroes, 236 Washington Street, Toms River, NJ, 08753. Donations are tax deductible.

Peroxide, Necessary But Dangerous In Excess

peroxide, you think of those brown bottles from the drugstore. Some people use it like cheap bleach to lighten hair color, but mostly it’s poured on wounds as a disinfectant. Going grey is your sign of too much peroxide, it’s a sign of “rusting,” metabolically speaking. Peroxide sometimes goes by its molec-ular acronym, H2O2, which means there are two hydrogen and two oxygen atoms. My recent autoimmune video shocked a lot of readers because I said we all make hydrogen peroxide in our own body, all day long. I also said there’s a lot more peroxide happening in you if you have Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune diseases and that it produces pain and flare ups. However, I want to be fair and tell you today that per-oxide isn’t bad. Excessive peroxide is bad. First, I’ll tell you why peroxide isn’t bad. Your thyroid gland requires peroxide to make thyroid hormone. Without enough peroxide, you can’t make “Thyroid Per-oxidase” enzyme, or TPO. It’s this TPO enzyme that forms thyroid hormone for you, so see it’s not really a bad guy. It’s also a chemical messenger in your body. In a perfect world, and healthy body, the peroxide you create will rapidly turn into water and oxygen with the help of an en-zyme called catalase (you make that too). It’s the oxygen coming off the peroxide that makes the bubbles and fizzing associated with peroxide. So we’re clear now right? You get that peroxide isn’t toxic in and of itself, but it’s definitely toxic in high amounts. It’s like

acid. It’s like bleach. It destroys your cell membranes, it causes pain, it makes your hair turn grey and it causes peroxidation in your lipids, which leads to bad cholesterol ratios, diabetes and heart attack. Millions of people have too much per-oxide and not enough catalase on board to degrade it in the cells. Remember, the catalase enzyme turns peroxide into water and oxygen. I have more information and a video about catalase and the connection to thyroid disease at my website suzycohen.com just sign up for my newsletter. Controlling peroxide is critical if you have an autoimmune disease of any sort, especially one that affects your thyroid. You’re probably wondering how you get excessive peroxide. Honestly, it’s easy; some of you probably keep creating it all day long. If you eat or drink junk foods, sugar, candy, soda and you know what else you get into… these things are refined and pro-inflammatory, so within seconds you’ve spawned hydrogen peroxide in your body. Let the rusting begin! We can overwhelm our antioxidant systems so easily with alcohol, emotional stress and even physical work outs or all-nighters. One more way, if you supplement with high doses of iodine, you’ll make more peroxide, this is why people with Hashimoto’s react badly to iodine at times. There’s a balance with iodine and seleni-um that I’ve explained in other articles at my website. Remember, without catalase (and also glutathione) you can’t put out the peroxide flame.

Walter was born in Lancaster, PA on March 31, 1914. He has two chil-dren, four grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. During the war he worked in a defense plant as a foreman. The plant produced ammu-nition and parts for guns. After the war, he went into the automobile

business and owned his own car dealership, Rittenhouse Auto in Shrewsbury. Walter worked until he was 92 years old,

then his family took over the business. He enjoyed his retirement, spending time with his family, and was always visiting the car dealership. Walter is now en-joying his millennium years as a resident at the Rose Garden Nursing and Rehabilitation. He celebrated his 102nd birthday on March 31.

At The Rose Garden

TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County College Repertory Theatre Company will present “Guys and Dolls” from July 14 to 24 in the Grunin Center Main Theatre, on OCC’s Main Campus, College Drive. Tickets are on sale now. “Guys and Dolls” is a romantic musical comedy. It revolves around two unlikely pairs: a high-rolling gambler and a puritan-ical missionary, and a showgirl dreaming of the straight-and-narrow and a crap game manager, who is anything but. Set in the Manhattan of Damon Runyon’s short stories, “Guys and Dolls” tells the ac-count of con-man Nathan Detroit’s efforts to find new life and a new home for his illegal, but notorious crap game. But without the financial means he is at a loss. Enter Sky Masterson, a high-rolling gambler willing

to take on any honest bet. From the bustle of Times Square to the dance clubs of Harlem and the sewers of New York City, “Guys and Dolls” features some of Frank Loesser’s most memorable tunes, including “Adelaide’s Lament,” “I’ve Never Been In Love Before,” “If I Were a Bell” and “Luck Be a Lady.” It is directed by Paul Chalakani. Performances will be given on July 14, 15, 16, 22 and 23 at 7:30 p.m. and July 17 and 24 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, $15 for OCC alumni. Free for high school students with an adult admission and valid student ID. For information, call the Grunin Center Box Office at Ocean County College, 732-255-0500 or visit grunincenter.org.

Tent City:Continued From Page 1

The first part of the project is to give homeless a place to go. “We want to get them off of the street, out of the woods and out from under the bridges,” Rubel said. “Let them transition back into the broader community.” After an evaluation, the second phase is to move into a small village of “tiny homes.” While there, participants of the program begin to transition into the community through the arts, as well as getting hands on work experience. “A lot of people who hear the legislation think of manufactured homes. I take it a step further by incorporating elements like solar panels and maybe composting toilets,” Rubel said. “It can be a whole lesson in sus-tainability. We want these people to build the homes themselves.” The final part of the program is a “tiny home” community, a larger dwelling that could qualify for affordable housing, she said. The issue is finding a location where the homes can be built. “Really what it takes is a municipality with extra land, lots or land, and is willing to allow them to be created,” Rubel said. “But it doesn’t seem like many people are really interested in resolving the problem. If they are … why does the government and municipalities get in their own way?” Rubel said she has reached out to mayors from all over Central New Jersey, and while some took time to speak to her about the program, she said she didn’t receive as

warm of a reception from Howell Township Mayor William Gotto. “He basically wanted to hang up on me. He didn’t want to have a conversation with me,” she said. “He was one mayor I didn’t pursue because I got such a negative response from him. The most negative response out of all the mayors I spoke to about this project.” While he did confirm that Rubel reached out to speak about the “tiny homes” project, Gotto says the conversation had a different tone to it. After reaching out to the township, Got-to said Rubel did present a plan for little homes. He explained that a lot of things “need to take place” before a little home could be built because they are considered vehicles. In order to be considered any-thing other than a vehicle, they needed to be incorporated in planning and zoning ordinances. “She didn’t really like that answer very much,” he said. “In order for the program to be incorporated in Howell, this is what she would need to do. At that point she became agitated and I thanked her for her time and that was the end of the conversation.” While waiting for the bill to pass, Rubel may have a found a future home for the tiny home pilot program in Trenton. In the meantime, Rubel will use her pho-tography as a way of raising awareness about homelessness and fighting the stigma surrounding it. Her artwork is on display at the Ocean County Artists Guild in Island Heights. For more information, visit ocartistsguild.org.

Park:Continued From Page 1

renovated was 25 years ago at the last major anniversary celebration for the township, but has suffered wear and tear from hosting popular festivals, and also saw damage from Superstorm Sandy when it was underwater. With the project estimated at $1 million, plans include replacing all of the bulkheads at the park, upgrades to the park’s facilities such as landscaping, lighting, new side-walks and upgrades to the gazebo roofs. Huddy Park, at Water and Main streets downtown, is also the site of the replica Block House that marks an American Rev-olution skirmish. That will also be spruced up as part of these renovations. The replace-ment of the Huddy monument is based on concepts prepared by three students from Toms River High School North. Among those student-led designs: Life-size silhouette cutout figures of Revolution soldiers will be placed around the Block House entrance to help bring history alive. A “Town Crier” board, featuring a cut-out of a bell-ringing historical town crier figure, will flank the new sign.

New benches will come to the park, bear-ing the names of Toms River’s nine soldiers who died during the Revolutionary War. Some surrounding area street-scape im-provements are also proposed along Water Street and Robbins Parkway. Once known as Gowdy’s Island, the park was bought after a special referendum question was put to voters whether to buy it. Residents voted 191 to 12 in favor of the township spending $3,000 to buy the land and turn the marsh in to a park. The Block House replica of a Revolution-ary War fort placed there memorialized the township’s salt works past. In 1782, Captain Joshua Huddy’s had unsuccessfully defended the Patriot fort in Toms River in March, was captured, and hung in April. The wood fort burned to the ground in the British attack. The first replica fort on the riverfront was constructed in 1967 and dedicated as part of a movement to honor the histori-cal significance of Toms River. It’s been rebuilt and re-dedicated at the township’s 225th anniversary in 1992.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566. “Home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nurs-ing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”

Dear Readers Vacation fun has finally arrived, and I for one want for you to get the most out of these wonderful months. We in New Jersey are particularly fortunate to have the shore. In fact our beaches are the number one reason that tourists even bother to come to the Garden State. I do however want for you to have a better vacation. If you have to be told not to drink and drive, well don’t even bother reading my column. A drunk driver is beyond my reach in terms of safety. You need help greater than I can offer here. I am speaking of a different way of a va-cation being ruined. People falling victims to identity theft is the new rage. Being away from home makes you vulnerable in different ways. Here are a few hints. Take one debit card and one credit card and leave the rest of your plastic friends at home. Do not take your social security card with you, as that is a recipe for disaster in these times. In fact for the most part you shouldn’t need it even when home. If you don’t use passwords for your smart phone and tablets. set one up for each be-fore you leave. The information you have

on your phone is the equivalent of your wallet being stolen by thieves. Make a copy of your passport and leave it with someone that you trust at home. Should you lose it, although it won’t be an instant cure, it will save you much aggravation. I will give away my number one secret, as I trust all of my readers. While traveling, I have a pouch which fits under my clothing. I keep some extra cash, credit cards and health insurance card hidden, and I don’t even feel it after the first few minutes. There are several types including the kind that I use which is around the waist. These are available at Amazon, ebay and travel sites; search for travel pouches on the Internet. Pack much less than you need, but make sure to take your common sense with you while away... Have a wonderful summer.

NEW JERSEY – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) kicked off National Homeownership Month by recognizing how homeown-ership enhances lives and contributes to thriving communities. “Dare to Own the Dream” is the theme of this month-long recognition, reinforcing the long-held belief that owning a home remains one of

the cornerstones of the American Dream. Nearly eight years ago, the nation’s hous-ing market was in free-fall, unemployment was rising and many families were left feeling trapped and anxious about their mortgages. The administration immediate-ly took action to address these issues and to protect the middle class. The steps took helped millions of Americans stay in their

homes, save money on their mortgages and turn their communities around. “Homeownership Month is a good time to ref lect on the progress the Obama Administration has made to ensure that owning a home is always within the grasp of the average American family. A home is the place where we raise our children, establish roots in a community and plan

our future,” said HUD Secretary Julián Castro. “The opportunity to be a home-owner should be open to those ready and able to buy a home. As the housing market continues its recovery we must ensure that responsible homeowners have access to credit to make their dreams of homeown-ership a reality.” Over the course of its 82-year history, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) stimulated nearly $4 trillion in mortgage capital into the economy and helped more than 44 million Americans to become homeowners. Today, FHA continues to build the middle class and open doors for underserved families. Since its roots during the Great Depres-sion, FHA is leveling the playing field for all Americans who can reasonably purchase a home by ensuring affordable access to credit for underserved borrowers. In January 2015, FHA lowered its mort-gage insurance premiums (MIP) because too many families were priced out of homeownership. As of March 31, FHA has endorsed approximately 1.3 million loans under the new reduced MIP. This price reduction is projected to save more than two million FHA homeowners an average of $900 annually and spur 250,000 new homebuyers to purchase their first home. Throughout the month of June, HUD will host a series of Twitter chats to dis-cuss three important topics surrounding homeownership and FHA. Follow these chats with #OwntheDream.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Pay your dues. Every new skill or study requires practice before it is possible to become proficient. You may be challenged to learn a new subject or to perform routine work in the week ahead. Having a buddy will help.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This week you won’t be able to please all of the people all of the time. If you sense tension in the air it may be because someone is trying to overcompensate to address your needs. You may be trying too hard to be agreeable.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Group dy-namics may be disturbed by dustups. In the week ahead someone could make an attempt to appear mysterious or pretend to be your friend. A partner or loved one could be forced to adhere to a tight schedule.CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will find yourself in good company. You aren’t the only per-son with a tight deadline to meet or a bill to pay in the week to come. A significant other with shrewd common sense and business acumen can helpLEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Never complain, never explain may be a good motto this week. You may have concerns that revolve around finances, but wise advice or counsel from co-workers or family members could help you find a perfect solution.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Grab the low hanging fruit. What you need is right there for the taking and little effort is necessary. In the upcoming week you may be tempted to reach too high. Don’t act impulsively with your money or loved ones.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Calm down. Your need for romance and attention could distract you from focusing on concrete accomplishments in the week ahead. Too much socializing on the job can make you fall behind or create some awkward moments.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Crucial com-mitments need to be handled with kid gloves in the week ahead. Take your time about making important changes. An innocent flirtation can give your ego a boost and lighten the load of a serious subject.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Pull in the sails and keep a steady hand on the rudder. There may be some rough seas in the week ahead. The demands of your career may keep you on a tight schedule just when family or a loved one needs attention.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are powerfully tethered to the achievement of a goal. Some co-workers may experience difficulties but that won’t dampen your enthu-siasm. As this week unfolds you may find that communications go awry.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can play musical chairs with your money until the music stops. Make sure you aren’t indulging in fads or fancies this week. A significant other will give you added support to face up to your responsibilities.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The truth may come out at the most inopportune time. In the upcoming week you may make a stand at the wrong time. Someone who expresses doubt about your trustworthiness can put you into a defensive position.

Wolfgang Puck’s kitchen

By Wolfgang Puck When I wrote about Father’s Day in the past, I usually concentrated on grilled food, assuming that the main Sunday gathering for this forthcoming celebration of dads would center on the backyard. After all, in many homes the grill is Dad’s special territory. And this time of year is all about outdoor cooking. But why shouldn’t Dad get to lounge around in bed a bit later than usual on Father’s Day morning? Then he’ll be the guest of honor at a brunch table he’s sure to love. That said, I am happy to share one of my favorite Sunday brunch recipes, for French toast: Mascar-pone-Stuffed French Toast with Mixed Berry Compote. I’ve long loved French toast, one of the best uses I know for slightly stale leftover bread. (The French, in fact, call it pain perdu, meaning “lost bread.” Though it’s certainly “found” again when dipped in a sweetened egg batter and then fried in some butter.) Sometimes I’ll make the basic version I just described. Other times I take a slightly fancier route by coating the dipped bread in sliced almonds or chopped pistachios or other nuts before cooking it. But when I want to make French toast that’s extra special, I’ll prepare a stuffed version. It starts with slightly thicker slices, in which you hollow out pockets by carefully inserting a knife along one side. Into the pocket goes a delicious filling: mascarpone or cream cheese plus jam. Although, I’ve seen others that include sliced bananas, peanut butter, chocolate chips or crispy bacon. You can stuff the bread slices the night before, leaving very little work for you to do the morning of the brunch. After the bread has been battered and fried, it finishes cooking in the oven, which makes it easy for you to serve everyone at the same time. The compote I like to serve with the French toast can also be made an hour ahead and rewarmed gently before serving. Of course, this recipe is wonderful for a formal brunch - or even a very casual one, for that matter - at any time of year. If you plan to make it for Dad, I suggest you also plan to serve along with it his favorite morning meats. Meat eaters and vegetarians alike will appreciate a selection of fresh seasonal fruit too. Dad is sure to enjoy his special feast. I should know, since I’m hoping my wife and sons will prepare this for me!

MASCARPONE-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST WITH MIXED

BERRY COMPOTE Serves 6

1 large rectangular loaf challah or similar egg bread, ends trimmed, loaf cut into 6 slices 2 inches (5 cm) thick6 tablespoons mascarpone cheese or softened

cream cheese12 tablespoons raspberry jam or other fruit jam1 cup (250 mL) heavy cream, half and half, or milk5 large eggsFreshly grated nutmeg 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla powder or vanilla extractPinch kosher salt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed2 teaspoons vegetable oil 3 cups (750 mL) halved strawberries 3 cups (750 mL) raspberries 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 lemonPure maple syrup, if desiredConfectioners’ sugar, if desired With a small serrated knife, working from the bottom of a bread slice parallel to and in between its cut sides, make a deep, wide pocket in the center of the slice. Repeat with the remaining slices. Stand 1 bread slice with its incision facing up. Gently squeeze the sides to open the in-cision. Spoon 1 tablespoon mascarpone and 2 tablespoons jam into the pocket. Repeat with the remaining slices and filling. Place on a baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate until cooking time. Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C). Heat a large nonstick countertop electric griddle to 350 F (175 C), or a heavy large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, put the cream, eggs, a little nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until blended into a batter. Melt the butter with the oil on the griddle or skillet. Dip 1 piece of bread into the batter, turning it to coat; transfer to the griddle or skillet. Repeat with the remaining bread and batter, spooning the last of the batter over the bread as it starts cooking. Cook the French toast until the undersides are deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the toast, reduce the griddle temperature to 300 F (150 C) or the stovetop heat slightly, and con-tinue cooking, about 4 minutes longer, adding more butter to the griddle or skillet as you like. As soon as all of the French toast is cooking, combine the berries and sugar in a heavy large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Squeeze in the juice from the lemon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and their juices thicken, about 15 minutes. Transfer the browned French toast to a large baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and the filling begins to ooze out a bit, about 10 minutes longer If you like, use a serrated knife to cut each piece in half, revealing the stuffing. Transfer the French toast to six plates. Serve immediately with the compote and a lemon peel garnish, plus a drizzle of maple syrup and dusting of confectioners’ sugar if Dad desires.
