Congrats, Class of 2016Toms River South, North and East

High Schoolers Celebrate Graduation

–Photos courtesy Toms River Regional SchoolsTOMS RIVER – Toms River Regional’s three high schools graduated 1,234 students with its June 20 commencement ceremonies. East and South were held outside at the schools’ respective football fields while North was in the Pine Belt Arena. The Class of 2016 was all smiles as diplomas were handed out by present school officials or those from its history, such as former superintendent Al Dietrich and East’s First Principal Richard Piscal. The Class of 2016 had 396 Raiders, 549 Mariners and 316 Indians participating at commencement. For more photos, see page 4.

By Catherine Galioto TOMS RIVER – A plan to build a public boat ramp on Dillon’s Creek in Gilford Park is facing opposition from a private marina, a non-profit yacht club, several residents and the Borough Council of Island Heights. Each have sent le t te rs say ing they think the plans are a bad idea, on grounds such as the chan-nel width and navigability, the unmanned nature of the proposed site, the encroachment into wet-lands and other environmental and neighborhood concerns. Toms River Township is planning to take an old parking lot, once a baseball diamond and then a bas-ketball court, and construct a boat ramp near where Dillon’s Creek meets the Toms River. Officials said there is no municipal boat ramp in the parks department and the site at the end of Garfield Avenue would allow vehicles

and trailers to park while boaters launch into the creek. Currently the waterfront is vegetation, and the neighboring parcels are res-idential, with the Gilford Park Yacht Club across the street.

The idea is to have a publ ic boat ramp for vessels to launch from, and also a type of f loating dock or board-wa l k-p ie r fo r boats to hitch to as the trucks are backed out and

the boat launched, said Township Engineer Robert Chankalian. A parking lot would be configured with spots big enough for trucks with boat trailers attached to park in. “We think it’s going to be a definite asset for the boaters and there are so many of them. It will be a free service,” said the township engineer. The township is in the process of getting state Department of

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – The emo-tional wounds of the recent mass shooting that left 49 people dead at a gay nightclub in Orlando Florida were still fresh for those who attended a candlelight vigil on June 20. The event was held in Toms Riv-er’s downtown area and was orga-nized by Ali Longo of Toms River and Chris Rockwell of Brick.

SHOOTING VICTIMS Largo said the message they wanted to express was simple: “love conquers fear.” She tearfully

read the names and ages of each victim at the close of the vigil. The vigil began at the

MeanBean Cafe and pro-ceeded with a walk to the

riverfront area. The event was a tribute to the victims of the June 12 shooting, but was also a pledge

of courage. “There have been a number of vigils held since the shooting in places like Asbury Park, Philadelphia and New York but I felt Toms River shouldn’t be left out as the community is really feeling this,” Longo said. “It was important that we did some‑thing here.” The vigil served to unite members of the LGBTQ community and others. Rockwell, who runs the open mic nights at MeanBean Cafe, said that the township’s downtown area has an active artistic com‑munity and that there was a need for people to come together and express their outrage and sorrow at what had happened but more importantly to unite people as a community. Attendees brought flowers, poetry, letters and words of encouragement along with coming out stories. Tyler Hastie, Kyan Wayman and Tom Early brought a large sign to the event that included the names of the Orlando victims. “I wanted to come here to join other people who are hurting,” said Jay Laubauskas of Brick. “What happened in Orlando re‑minded us all that there are still people out there who hate us. We shouldn’t be afraid to exist.” Ann Marie McGinley of Jackson spoke out on behalf of the straight community saying “we are here in support of you and your struggle for equality.” Teenager Kristin Canneto of Brick wore a rainbow shawl to the vigil. She spoke about

her struggle with bigotry and bullying at her school saying that her sexual orien‑tation should not define her as a person. She said that in response to being teased and harassed she chose to take action and is the leader of the Umbrella Club at her school that supports the issues of LGBTQ students. Lauren Josephsen of Toms River said the Orlando shooting triggered fears in the LGBTQ commu‑nity that had just started to fade. “There are millions of people like me who are afraid of living their lives. I don’t want to be afraid and I won’t hide anymore,” Josephsen said. “Just when we were starting to feel that some progress was being made this happened. If we give up they win. Nothing will change if we hide. We have to stick together that is how change happens. Love is the only thing that will con‑quer hate,” Josephsen added. Brielle Sophia of Asbury Park said she is transgender and spoke about three vigils that took place in the Asbury Park area within days of the shooting. Sophia said she helped orga‑nize one of those vigils. “We came together and helped raise more than $20,000 for the families of those in Or‑

lando who were killed and those who were also injured in the attack. We are not powerless to make change.” Largo spoke about the needs of the indi‑viduals and the importance of nightclubs that serve the LGBTQ community. “This is where we feel safe, to be who we are, and to express ourselves with those we love. This attack could have been us. It could

have been at our sanctuary. It made us all feel unsafe and angry that all these lives were taken for no reason.” Attendees each had the chance to speak, sing or read poetry. One young woman chose to sing “Thank You for Being a Friend” while another sang “Somewhere over the Rainbow.” The rainbow is a sym‑bol of hope for the LGBTQ community.

Have you ever seen a time when journalists have been so obviously biased? CNN is ob‑viously to the left and FOX is to the right – isn’t there room for some middle ground here? Their opinions are what should be in Letter to the Editor. Just the facts ma’am, just the facts. Actually, I think that the American people are not too crazy about either of these candidates. One with a history that has too much history to it, and the other is bullying other people. So it’s no wonder other candidates dropped out. Mr. John Kasich is a good and decent God‑fearing man who was simply over‑

The Fort Monmouth Econom‑ic Revitalization Authority is a fraudulent colonial entity that views the former U.S. Army base as part of the State of New Jersey. In 1778, during the Revolu‑tionary War the U.S. govern‑ment promised the Lenape that if they helped fight to end British rule, the Lenape would be given sovereign statehood in New Jersey. As of 2016, the U.S. government has yet to hold up their end of the deal - there is not a single reservation even here. Fort Monmouth is Native American land, the rightful property of the Lenape Na‑tion, and the FMERA lacks clear title. The Lenapes were subject to broken promises, coupled with forced exile to the Mid-western U.S. and Canada. Bring the Lenape home.Eric HafnerToms River

I was saddened and disturbed to see that The History Chan‑nel decided to begin airing its remake of the slavery saga “Roots” on Memorial Day. I was a big fan of the original “Roots” (in 1977), more on that later, but let’s talk about the “roots” of Memorial Day for a minute. Originally, Memorial Day was called Decoration Day and was a time to honor the fallen of the Civil War, a war fought to end slavery. If The History Channel is really about history, they would not desecrate Memorial Day by airing the beginning of the remake of a miniseries about the origins of slavery, itself. It totally negates the very rationale for the holiday! As you yourself said in your May 28 Editorial, Memorial Day is to “pay tribute to those who have been killed in the line of duty, to the sons and daugh‑ters of America who fought and died for our independence.” I would add that it is a day when

America is known for the good it does in the world. We export aid, medicine and technology to undeveloped countries as well as providing better healthcare, education and better working conditions. Our Congressman, Chris Smith, is attempting to undermine all the good we do by imposing a permanent and cruel “Gag rule” on women’s health in developing countries. The Gag rule causes unimaginable suffer‑ing of women in these countries. Access to contraception and family planning reduces un‑intended pregnancy, reduces maternal and child deaths, HIV/AIDS and unsafe abortion. The World Health Organization data shows that 800 women in devel‑oping nations die each day from pregnancy or childbirth related causes. An estimated 50,000 adolescent mothers and more than 1 million infants die yearly because the girls are not phys‑ically ready for childbearing. The Gag Rule withdraws American Funding for Con‑traceptives if the clinic also provides information about abortion, even if medically needed and paid for with their own non-U.S money. The Gag Rule forced clinic closures and interferes with the health and safety of 215 million women needing access to contraception. American aid should not be accompanied with unfair rules that control women causing them to suffer and die. Con‑gressman Smith can help reduce unintended pregnancy, save the lives of women and babies, re‑duce abortion and help suffering women by supporting women’s health and by dropping the “Gag rule.” Congressman Smith leads the Anti Choice Movement in Congress as Chair of the Pro Life Caucus.

Last month was Lyme D i s e a s e Aw a r e n e s s Month. There were many articles concerning pre‑vention and how to look for ticks. Where were the articles about treatment and local doctors who can treat long term Lyme disease? Where in the shore area can you find a medical team specializing in the treatment of Lyme dis‑ease. Try calling South‑ern Ocean Medical Cen‑ter and ask for an LLMD (Lyme Literate Medical Doctor). None are avail‑able. I am 89 years old and was infected with Lyme disease 25 years ago. I had no visible signs of a tick bite. One morning I could not get out of bed. A blood test from Ig‑enex Lab in California confirmed I had Lyme disease. Only an LLMD is

men of all races who died to get and keep us free are honored, not a day to dwell on those who were sinfully enslaved, but later freed. The History Channel, however, appears to suddenly believe that Memorial Day is an apropos time. The 1977 version of “Roots” was not only (pardon the pun) groundbreaking, but it was eye-opening, edifying and need‑ful at the time. I loved it, and it had a terrific cast which cannot be outdone by the one an‑nounced for the remake. Here’s why I feel a “do-over” is a very bad idea (in addition to the dis‑respecting of Memorial Day): This version comes as Presi‑dent Obama, whose very elec‑tion was supposed to move race relations forward and help us heal from our tragic past, is soon to leave office. For The History Channel to take us back to slavery in the 1700s at this time, then, is almost an admission that his “history making” Presidency was a complete and total failure. We are not only going backward almost 40 years to “dig up” America’s “Roots,” but we are going hundreds of years back‑ward to pick at old wounds that Obama’s election was supposed to heal once and for all. We are advertising to the entire world (again) that America is headed in the wrong direction. “Actions speak louder than words,” the “Roots” remake admits visually what “we” won’t admit verbally because of Political Correctness. But is this what we want the world to see? Very sadly, we live in a time of extremely strained race rela‑tions. Not only is Memorial Day the day when we are supposed to remember, and honor, those who died in the service of our country but it is also considered “The First Day of Summer.” Strained race relations, warm summer weather and the care‑less reopening of the wounds of slavery could easily see “Roots” turning into “Riots.” The original “Roots,” in 1977, was first aired in January. The History Channel should have put this new version on in Black History Month, (February), frankly. Does President Obama want to see more riots before he leaves office? Does The History Channel want this? In 1977, race relations were relatively tranquil. They are not tranquil, here in 2016. Do we wish to pro‑voke more anger this summer, doesn’t America have enough? Airing the “Roots” remake on Memorial Day is just as disre‑

whelmed by the whole thing. Obviously he was my choice. Nonetheless, I think we are all sick of the political non‑sense going on, and the rest of the world thinks we are the laughing stock because of it and we are. Where is true leadership? We are hungry for it – real, true leadership, not promises not to be kept! Promises are easy in politics because very few people remember after the election what they were... God help us one and all, and may God bless America. We all need to pray for the right person to lead this nation forward, out of debt and into respect once again.Bette KooremanWhiting

spectful to those (of all colors) who died in the service of our great nation as it would be dis‑respectful of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to debut a World War II marathon on his birthday.

TOMS RIVER ‑‑ Summer is here and with it comes fun! Heeding some basic safety tips this summer could help to keep you and your companions in the game and out of the emer‑gency room.

Kevin M. Geoghegan

From The Desk Of The Township Council - Ward 2 Councilman Kevin M. Geoghegan

Summer Safety Tips Here are some safety tips to keep your summer fun. The first and best line of defense against the sun’s harmful rays is to wear a hat, put on sunglasses, and use sunscreen with an SPF no lower than 15. Make sure to reapply the sunscreen every two hours. Babies under six months of age should be kept out of the sun entirely.

Heat stress can occur quickly in hot and humid weather. Limit intense activities to 15 minutes and drink plenty of wa‑ter. Clothing should be light-colored and light‑weight. Never leave children alone in or near a pool. Learn CPR. If your family will be boating, make sure that all

children wear life jackets and that there is a life jacket available for all adults. Remember that inflatable water rings and toys are not considered life saving devices. If your family will be outdoors, don’t use scent‑ed soaps, per fumes or hair sprays as they tend to attract insects. Use re‑pellents, but be careful

not to use products with more than 10 percent DEET on children. Avoid areas where insects nest, such as stagnant pools of water, uncovered foods or plac‑es with concentrations of flowers. When traveling, make sure that everybody is buckled up. Have snacks and water available in the vehicle. Make sure to have a first

aid kit along. Arrange for fr iends or neighbors to pick up newspapers, mail, and packages. Tell your neighbors you’ll be gone. Arrange to have the lawn maintained. If you follow these tips, there’s no reason you can’t have an enjoyable and fun-filled and most importantly, safe summer. I wish every‑one a wonderful summer!

OCEAN COUNTY – With an eye toward smart growth and future savings, Ocean County officials have been provided a comprehensive blueprint of what buildings county government may need to accommodate its workforce into the future. “Buildings cost money and take a lot of time to con‑struct,” said Ocean Coun‑ty Administrator Carl W. Block, who presented the study to the Board of Free‑holders. “This study was done to help us accomplish several things as we look at our future needs and consid‑er a possible plan of action.” Ocean County government maintains about 135 build‑ings situated throughout the 620 square miles that make up the county. The study looks at consolidation of Superior Court functions, moving programs to better and more cost effective lo‑cations and creating a more efficient campus for govern‑ment functions. “This is all about smart growth, enhanced security in some areas like the court‑house, increasing efficiency and saving dollars,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, director of Law and Public Safety. “We provide numerous programs and services to our 600,000 res‑idents and its imperative of‑fices and locations all make

sense for accessibility and efficiencies.” Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who is liaison to the Ocean County Finance De‑partment, said looking at the overall building needs of the county provided the entire Board with a better idea of the direction it may want to take in the future. “It’s a very good idea to look at the whole picture now so that we can later prioritize based on our needs and af‑fordability,” he said. “It’s a very smart thing to do.” The plan presented during the June 8 pre-board meeting of the Board of Freeholders, provides a number of sug‑gestions that would result in a domino effect by mov‑ing government functions to proposed new facilities opening up space in current buildings. It would also al‑low the county to not renew leases once they end, which would provide substantial cost savings. Among the recommenda‑tions outlined in the facili‑ties plan was the construc‑tion of the Ocean County Road Department Garage in the Ridgeway section of Manchester Township. The county has already received the approvals and permits for the project but delayed construction because of the downturn in the economy followed by Superstorm

Sandy. The site in Manches‑ter Township would provide a new space for the Ocean County Transportation De‑partment currently located on Route 9 in Toms River and a warehouse that is now located on Chestnut Street also in Toms River. “Moving transportation would provide more space, longer bays and a greater ease in maintaining buses and vehicles that are part of the county’s public trans‑portation system,” said Free‑holder Virginia E. Haines, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Transporta‑tion Department. “The new facility would also provide a more efficient way to service our buses and vehicles by the Vehicle Services staff. “These suggestions are key to a better functioning coun‑ty government and its related agencies,” Haines said. In addition, by relocating the warehouse to the Man‑chester location, it would free up space to move the Ocean County Office of Emergency Management to the Chestnut Street location bringing it closer to other functions of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department, like its 911 Op‑erations Center. Emergency Management is currently located at the Ocean County Airport, Berkeley Township. “It makes sense to place similar functions together,”

Kelly said. “Our current locations are choppy. We can plan smarter for the future.” The plan also focused on the consolidation of courtroom space, which is currently spread around several sites in the downtown Toms River area including the Ocean County Courthouse at 118 Washington St., Toms River and the Ocean County Jus‑tice Complex at 120 Hooper Ave., Toms River. “More than 100 employees have been added to the court system in Ocean County in the last 10 years,” Block said. “And, we anticipate those numbers will increase once bail reform is implemented in 2017.” The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, how‑ever, said the state of New Jersey should be footing the bill for new courtrooms and the expansion of court offices specifically related to bail reform. “We need to maximize the utilization of the court space we have now,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, liaison to the De‑partment of Buildings and Grounds. “I think we need to take an even closer look at current use in the buildings that now house courtrooms and see what else can be done. “If we have to provide new space to accommodate

state‑mandated programs we are talking about spending a lot of money,” he said. “That’s not a fair position to put our taxpayers in.” The plan’s focus is to reduce the number of locations in the downtown complex used by the courts in order to re‑duce the need for security at those buildings. “When we can move ev‑ery court function into one building then we can have one entry and that allows us to reduce the manpower currently provided,” Kelly said. “This will provide for a more secure courthouse for both staff and the public and those officers can serve our residents in other functions.” Ocean County Sheriff’s officers are tasked with pro‑viding security at each entry of a building that has court functions in it. Currently there are about 10 entries secured by the officers. Block noted construction of an addition for the courts, which would be linked to the justice complex, would be several years away even if work began now. “From selecting an archi‑tect to final design it would be about two years before we broke ground on a new building,” he said. Vicari suggested the Free‑holders prioritize the recom‑mendations of the study. “Since this has been in the

works for several years and we have already secured the site and approvals, the priority should be the new garage, transportation center and warehouse on our site in Manchester Township,” Vicari said. “We are already looking for a new location and building replacement for the Ocean County Northern Resource Center in Lake‑wood so we can find a more convenient location for our constituents. “It’s important we also review space for the Ocean County Board of Social Services,” said Freeholder Haines, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Board of Social Services. “With its lease at 1027 Hooper Ave. ending in 2022, we need to begin preparations now to determine what will be done in the future.” Block noted Ocean County will receive federal reim‑bursement to partially offset the cost of a new building for social services. Freeholder Bartlett empha‑sized the county will not build or plan anything that cannot be accommodated in the county’s annual budget or would have a negative effect on its debt service. “We keep very tight con‑trols over what we spend,” Bartlett said. “If it doesn’t fit within the budget we don’t do it.”

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The land is cleared and the project is moving ahead. Autumn Ridge, the 82-unit, two-story town‑home development situated between Routes 70 and 571, is being built by Homes For All, a nonprofit affordable housing developer based in Toms River. Homes For All recently opened another Autumn Ridge in Toms River, a community of two- and three-bedroom townhomes off Route 9 in North Dover. The community has sold out, and interested buyers are being pointed to the Manchester site. Seventeen of the 82 units are designated affordable housing. The site is near the Quick Check and the land was recently cleared, with promotional signs springing up denoting the development. Homes For All describes itself as a nonprof‑it that “seeks to advance the principle that people at all income levels have a right to decent, safe, suitable and affordable housing and to the sense of security, dignity, and stability that such housing provides,” the corporation’s promotional material states. Homes For All has been in business for 30 years. Council Vice President Samuel Fusaro toured the Toms River townhomes. “I personally toured their facility and unit in Toms River and was quite impressed with the size and craftsmanship of the project. The Manchester model will have additional improvements and details then the Toms River models including 9-foot ceilings on the first floor and enhanced exterior architectural features,” Fusaro said. He wanted to stress that while there are some affordable housing units, the entire project is not affordable housing. “Some people may hear the builder is Homes For All and think is going to be low-afford‑able housing…Only 17 will be designated “affordable housing” and this number is in accordance with township and State require‑ments for new construction. Since Homes For

Land Cleared For Affordable Housing, Townhouses

First Autumn Ridge Development Already Sold Out

All is nonprofit, they may be able to obtain reduced financing and other benefits from various state programs in effect. The project has received all required State and county permits which is why they were able to start site clearing,” he added. Debbie Buragina, the sales director for the project, said all the units will be available below market because of state grants. The non‑income‑based units are called “emerging market units,” and will be ideal for first-time homebuyers who usually have less income to work with than established homeowners. Autumn Ridge will have its opening in a couple weeks, when units will be available to purchase. She expects construction, based on sales, to be completed by October. The township decided to go with townho‑mes rather than single-family dwellings for a very practical, cost-savings reason, said the councilman. “Townhouses statistically have a significant lower number of school-age children than do other forms of single family housing, and given the limited amount of our school taxes provided for by the state, this should be a significant positive result for the town and its residents,” Fusaro said. The project was challenged last year by the Pinelands Preservation Alliance when the zoning was changed to accommodate multi-dwelling units. “The PA-5 designation was put into place to protect the entire Stream Corridor, both the wetlands and the wetlands buffers. Tak‑ing one oddly shaped piece out of the PA-5 (Environmentally sensitive area) to allow for the high density development will have impacts to the entire stream corridor. It is poor planning on the part of Manchester Township and the state,” PPA director Theresa Lettman said last year. However, as Fusaro said, the project re‑ceived all the necessary permits to move forward. For more information about Homes For All, visit homesforallnj.org.

By Bob Vosseller BERKELEY – Usually registration for a sports program means standing in line and filling out paperwork. The process isn’t as‑sociated with a good time. Registration for the township’s Summer Basketball League program however is much different. Since 1998 the league has hosted a commu‑nity barbeque at Manitou Park to kick off its summer season. The league’s coordinator, Robert Taylor, said the event has proven highly successful and brings together many residents of the community beyond those who sign up for the league to use the basketball courts in the park. It’s become a true community event, to celebrate summer and bringing folks from the neighborhood and beyond together. That means a good time but also the mentorship of coaches and players. Taylor said that while the league started back in 1992, the addition of a new court a few years back was what led to the annual barbeque event. He said the social occasion helped bring people together beyond the league and has become a nice social gathering in the township.“We held a dedication for the new court back in 1998 and that became a tradition each year for our registration,” Taylor said. He added that the dedication and ribbon-cutting cere‑mony of the basketball court also served to introduce the community to the coaches that were involved in the program. “We had more than 100 people this year at the park for the barbeque and most of them were kids from the community,” Taylor said. “We also had parents and other community members. Members of our police department cooked the burgers. It was great,” League coach Will Jacobs said. Jacobs is Taylor’s brother and both are teachers at Central Re‑gional. Khaleel Greene, 19 signed up during the reg‑

istration barbeque for his 15th season with the league. “I started when I was five years old so it has been a nice journey. I’ve learned a lot.” Taylor said he was pleased with the turnout at the June 8 barbeque. “We had 66 kids signed up for the league on that day and now that number has grown to 88,” Taylor said. The league is for players 7 to 19 years old. “We are very proud of our Summer Basket‑ball League that is held at out Manitou Park Basketball Courts every summer. The league is open to all children of Berkeley Township,” Mayor Carmen Amato said. The mayor added that Taylor has been coordinating the program for the township for many years. “The league gets larger each year,” Amato said. Andrew Kelly, 17, of Bayville is a junior at Central Regional High School. “I’ve been playing here for years. I soon as I learned about the league I wanted to play and a lot of my friends are here to. It is a summer tradition,” Kelly said. The league has grown to 16 teams playing on three courts in Manitou Park. Taylor said the program has gained incredible support from the mayor and council of Berkeley. “Many mayors would object to our having young people from beyond the township but we have kids here from Lakewood, Toms Riv‑er and other towns in Ocean County,” Taylor said. “We want to see them come out and play and meet other kids.” The league isn’t just for young men. Madelyn Roth, 14, of Ortley Beach, was among several young ladies who came out for practice on June 13. This season marks her second year with the league. Taylor said the league has been fortunate to receive financial aid from different sources over the years. He said the league received a $25,000 donation from Alois “Al” Terry Leiter, a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the New York Yankees, Toron‑to Blue Jays, Florida Marlins and New York Mets. “We also received a Green Acres grant a few years ago,” Taylor said. He said the program has now spanned gen‑erations, bringing them together. “A lot of those who are now coaches actually played here as members of the league. In some cases their kids are now playing on the league so we have several generations here now,” Taylor said. Taylor’s 13-year-old son, Alijah, is a part of the newest generation of players on the league. He added that the league will be holding a number of drills and that will lead to a draft pick. He said it is hard but despite the expan‑sion of the program a limit on players is part of the process. “Last year we had to turn 70 kids away and that was hard,” Taylor said. Taylor said that the league helped bring more diversity to the township’s basketball program. “Originally we had a lot of African American youth but now we have kids from all different backgrounds. That is what it really is all about. Bringing people together.” The league will wrap up its season on August 12 with a championship game and awards program.

Chinese Golden Thread Is Tough On Germs

Sometimes I come across the weirdest things that are amazingly helpful, like Cop‑tis chinensis. This herb is used frequently in Chinese medicine (Huang Lian), especially to treat diabetes. It has a lengthy list of me‑dicinal properties that I’d like to share with you. Apparently the compounds in Coptis can help with H. pylori, pseudomonas, salmonella, shigella, trichomonas, giardia, influenza and more. I came across Coptis, also called “Golden Thread,” while researching plant-based antimicrobials that could get rid of MAR‑CoNS short for “Multiple Antibiotic Resis‑tant Coagulase Negative Staph.” Think of MARCoNS like you would MRSA, only worse. MARCoNS is an op‑portunistic staph infection that can reside in your jawbone, hip and nasal cavities, and it’s often cultured in people who have low MSH (Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone). Low MSH correlates with severe insomnia and depression by the way, and if you have those symptoms you should test your blood levels of MSH. If low, you’re next step is to test for MARCoNS, which entails a deep nasal swab into the nose. It’s usually cultured in people who have taken a lot of antibiotics (like Lymies), also those with compromised immunity, biotoxin illness, mold exposure from water damaged build‑ings or cancer. MARCoNS is tough to erad‑icate, it lives in slimy biofilm communities and it’s very resistant to today’s arsenal of antibiotics. A compounded prescription nasal spray called “BEG spray” is often used. BEG spray consists of Bactroban, EDTA and Gentamycin, hence the name

“BEG” spray. Coptis herb tastes strong and bitter. It’s bright yellow, and could be used to dye fabrics. The yellow color comes from ber‑berine, which is also sold as a stand-alone supplement. Berberine has been studied extensively for its ability to positively im‑pact blood sugar, and also because it helps prevent arterial wall thickening (athero‑sclerosis). Here I got all excited that Coptis could hit MARCoNS, which is tough to do (that is one resistant bug) and then I learned that it protects against neuronal degeneration (in animals) and it could help with IBS too. In 2004, researchers found something out that is rather astounding. They tested the anti-cancer activity of Coptis against human liver cancer cells, and those with leukemia. They learned that the berberine and coptisin (found in Coptis) blocked growth of the cancer cells. In the May 2016 journal, Oncology Report, scientists pub‑lished an interesting article that mentioned Coptis. They said the berberine (found in Coptis and other herbs) worked synergis‑tically with the chemo drug Cisplatin to suppress breast cancer growth. Just as an aside, Cisplatin is a medication from the category of “platinum” salts, which is a heavy metal, not exactly the same as the platinum wedding band though. Coptis contains many compounds, some even attack Lyme pathogens. It’s probably most famous for it’s berberine, which was shown in a 2016 study (Journal of Food and Medicine) to prevent formation of Advanced Glycation End (AGE) products which basically age you.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

A Taste Of Honey Dear Readers: We have all had our days where anger seems to take over. We lash out at the ones we love and feel guilty afterward. They don’t happen too often, here’s hoping, and we usually apologize and forgive (the alternative is to hold a grudge, and feel sad and depressed). It is important to recognize that if this is persistent it could be a disorder of some kind. That being said there are foods that can actually help us in staying calm. I loved this and wanted to share: Kiwis - Kiwis are filled with Vitamin C and actually contain more Vitamin C per fruit than oranges. (Who would a thunk?) Pumpkin Seeds - Thought that they were only popular during the Halloween season? Think again, pumpkin seeds are eaten by Americans all year through. They are filled with Magnesium. They also reduce the ef‑fects of anxiety, a known killer to our health. Leafy Vegetables - Another goody loaded with magnesium. Americans enjoy eating iceberg lettuce but there are so many more leafy vegetables now available that are loaded in healthy stuff.

Finally, cham‑omile tea is al‑most as good as a kiss good night. It is a great and healthy way to end the day (it is related to the Daisy family) and a nightly cupful can reduce the day’s stress. And for my male readers I am not sure of the nutritional benefits to women but Brazil nuts have a reputation of raising the libido. Now that sounds simple. You can find them in better supermarkets throughout the entire year. They are available without the shell. I especially enjoyed sharing this infor‑mation in that it is an inexpensive way of reducing stress and anxiety .It is important to remember that if allergies or medications are of concern, please consult your doctor. Wishing you a great week with less stress.Joel

Environmental Protection permits under fresh water wetlands, waterfront develop‑ment and CAFRA guidelines. But several groups opposed to the plans have retained Attorney Harvey York as counsel, and York has corresponded with the township and DEP to say a boat ramp there would disturb the natural environment, create hard-to-navigate marine travel, end up with litter and other quality-of-life issues and is a low priority project with zero economic benefit. York writes that the plans call for a finger pier that would be 83 feet, to create the portion of the pier in the water as long as 25 feet. That is in state-owned an public trust land, but also eats into the already narrow channel there. Dillon’s Creek separates Toms River from Island Heights there, and several homeowners have docks, plus Dillon’s Marina operates upstream on the Island Heights side, along the waterfront. The fear is that the area is already busy with marine traffic, and adding a boat ramp with a pier extending into the limited wa‑terway will create a hazardous situation. Chankalian said the channel can certainly support the boat traffic, as it already sees use from the 200 boats, some 50 footers, out of the private marina of Dillon’s Mari‑na. “The argument that the channel is not navigable, frankly, doesn’t hold water, if that marina can have that traffic already,” he said. The difference, Dillon’s Marina Owner

Ramp:Continued From Page 1

Brian Hall said, is that the boat ramp plans show it will take up a portion of the channel, which means some of that width is gone. York writes in his opposition comments that the creek at best has 50 feet of navigable waterway currently. Standing near the site of the proposed ramp, Hall pointed as a yacht carefully floated by the spot where the pier would end, and said it would not be able to get by. “It’s a recipe for disaster,” said Hall. That also means boats will be backed in from their trailers and have to make a maneuver all while sitting in a potentially blind spot where the creek bends and boats come back in from the Toms River, Hall said. It would create a bottleneck for traffic from the river into the creek, and for those upstream trying to make it to the river. The marina owner joined the Gilford Park Yacht Club president in what both said could be a nightmare for boat traffic but could also spell disaster. Both the marina and the yacht club have trained staff to help boaters get in and out of the water and assist in navigation. They said the maneuvers required to get in the water, then do a k-turn in the water to head downstream, would be very difficult, and the ramp would be unmanned without any staff to assist. “And half of boats break down in the water,” Hall said. “Who is going to deal with that?” Chankalian said the opposition is mainly because a free municipal boat ramp would be in direct competition with the private operations of Dillon’s Marina and the GPYC. But the two men said that while it certainly would impact their business, the concern is

mainly for safety and environmental impact. Plus, GPYC launches small vessels such as canoes and kayaks for free, is a nonprofit, and has had to completely rebuild after Su‑perstorm Sandy, working with the township to improve the queue it has for boats waiting their turn to use the GPYC boat ramp, said the president. Chankalian said a free, municipal boat ramp is in keeping with open access that the DEP endorses, to provide the public with more opportunities to enjoy natural re‑sources. But the opposition feels it removes the natural wetlands environment and could create further negative impact. York writes there is the potential for signif‑icant environmental damage, beyond remov‑ing the wetlands, specifically the potential oil and gasoline spills from motorized boats, and Hall said the area could see litter and other nuisances in the likelihood it becomes a late-night party area. “You have a beautiful bit of wetlands,” Hall said. “Why is Toms River spending beaucoup bucks on this, right here, when there are other things to do, and other places to put it?” Chankalian said with so much of Toms River already developed, there isn’t another spot. “This is not going to be a big operation,” said the engineer, adding it would be similar to Bay Head’s municipal boat ramp, a quiet spot that would allow boaters to come and go as they please without being bound by the hours of operation a private facility has. “Other towns provide those services, free. This is not the first and only boat ramp of

its kind in Ocean County,” Chankalian said. “The town is not going to operate a marina. It’s not meant as that. With at most 20 spots, it’s not a huge facility. It will be open 24-7. Fishermen can leave early. Or someone with their jet ski, it’s nice to always have access, and not be at the will of the marina. … It’s just a gravel parking lot and a ramp, not a lot of maintenance.” The Island Heights Borough Council passed a resolution at its March meeting that urged Toms River to find an alternative to its plans, sharing the safety concerns: “there is a high volume of boat traffic within the narrow channel of the Dillon’s Creek waterway…the boat ramp will add to the existing volume creating an unsafe navigational condition for the public.” Chankalian said the Island Heights resolu‑tion was made before permits were sought, and that the opposition letters the township received were mostly “form letters” that were very similar while there were many of them. But Hall said his customers, along with the members of the GPYC and those that live around the site, are very concerned. Now, the permits before the DEP are in their 30-day comment period. Chankalian said the applications were ap‑plied for, the consultants and Army Corps of Engineers have all visited the site already as part of the process. “We hope to have a permit and not too long,” said the township engineer, adding from there it would be to finalize the con‑struction plan, and be a year or more to fund it, design, bid and construct it. “Now it is still in its infancy.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be all you can be. In the week to come your work ethic may impress the boss or your business dealings will upgrade your reputation. Beneficial relationships can be forged with those who share your sense of values.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Wear your white hat and do your best. You may even be able to ride off into the sunset with a sweetheart if you make a pretty apology and mend the fences. Your creative talents are in high gear during the week ahead.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gentle persua‑sion is a powerful palliative. You won’t need to force your ideas on others in the week to come in order to get results. Your wisdom about fam‑ily matters is better than average; make crucial decisions now.CANCER (June 21-July 22): Fate and fortune favor the freehanded. You may have an occasional impulse to dwell on fantasies or to blindly swallow an advertising ploy indulge in the week ahead. Yet you will never fail if you are generous to others.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Go along with the crowd and offer the gift of giving. What you gain from being generous can be more fulfilling and satisfying than being miserly. Butter someone up with some form of flattery in the week ahead.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take pride in having integrity. If you prove your trustwor‑thiness, by fulfilling promises and honoring contracts, people will develop faith in you. This is a good week to demonstrate your leadership abilities and wisdom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Chasing your tail can be fun, but impractical. You could have some delightful ideas but not the levelheadedness to put them into action. Rely upon good financial advice from more grounded advisors in the week ahead.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some people dig in their heels and get the job done, but others are mere dreamers. If you are a heel digger this may be the best possible week to start any project that relies upon making smart and wise financial decisions.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may reach down and find the bottom of the well. Gauge the depth of your feelings as well as the solidity of your financial security. In the week head you should focus on ways to replenish your resources.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your glass ceiling may be equipped with a skylight. Your po‑tential for making giant leaps forward with career and finances may have few limits in the week to come. Accept any opportunity for advancement that comes along.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You won’t be fooled by fate if you focus on fulfilling your fantasies. Be extra nice to the new person in the office and be optimistic about starting a new proj‑ect. The stars smile on romance and relationships this week.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Too many choices can be confusing. Remain precise and concise in the week ahead to dispel confusion. You may be torn in two directions but can make the right choice if you do your best to live up to someone’s expectations.

Wolfgang PuCk’s kitChen

By Wolfgang Puck What are you serving as appetizers when you entertain outdoors this summer? Too often, grill cooks think only about their main courses and maybe side dishes like grilled vegetables and old standbys like potato salad or coleslaw. When it comes to f i rst courses, though, most default to dishes like guacamole or other dips, prepared away from the grill, ac‑companied by the inevitable chips. I’d like to propose another approach. As long as you’re making the effort to heat up your backyard grill, why not be fuel-efficient (as well as conserving your own energy) and cook an appetizer on the grill too? The point, of course, is to be creative while also making less work for yourself, not more. Most importantly, you want a recipe that will be fairly quick and easy to prepare and serve, so you have time to get the larger main dishes cooking while everyone is enjoying your appetizer. One appetizer recipe that meets those requirements is the slender Asian kabob known as a satay. These are basically small, thin, pieces of meat, poultry or seafood threaded onto skewers, designed to cook almost instantly over an open fire for less than 5 minutes. And the individ‑ual skewers make passing and serving them both easy for you, the cook and host, and fun for your guests. As a great example, I’m happy to share my recipe for a beef satay I’ve served from time to time over the years in my restaurants. For a special-occasion, you can prepare it with good-quality, tender New York strip or f illet; but it’s just as good made with less costly skirt or f lank steak, which is the traditional choice in Asian kitchens. For convenience and authenticity, I sug‑gest preparing the satays on individual bamboo or wooden skewers, which you’ll need to soak br ief ly in water so they won’t scorch or catch f ire on the outdoor grill. You can also cook them indoors on a countertop grill, under the broiler, or in half the time with an electric panini grill or hinged contact grill that cooks the meat from both sides at once. The satays are so easy that they also allow you time to prepare a delicious dipping sauce to go with them. My recipe takes only a few minutes to make, yet it delivers big f lavor. Once you’ve tried this dish, feel free to vary it with different seasons or by subst itut ing other proteins l ike pork, chicken or shrimp. You can also serve the skewers as a main dish, accompanied by rice and vegetables. Have creative fun with your grilling this summer!

HONEY-MARINATED BEEF SATAYS WITH SPICY BUTTER

SAUCE Makes 24 skewers, serves 8 to 12

BEEF SATAYS:

3/4 pound (374 g) New York strip or fillet

steak, trimmed1/2 cup (125 mL) soy sauce1 tablespoon honey1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper f lakes1/2 teaspoon ground cumin1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric2 tablespoons vegetable oil or peanut oil

SPICY BUTTER SAUCE:2 garlic cloves, finely chopped4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger1 green onion, finely chopped1 cup (250 mL) organic chicken broth1/4 cup (60 mL) soy sauce1 teaspoon honey2 tablespoons hoisin sauce or bottled barbecue sauce1 teaspoon crushed red pepper f lakes Soak 2 dozen 6-inch (15-cm) bamboo or wooden skewers in water for 30 to 60 minutes. Drain and pat dry. With a sharp knife, cut the steak into 24 long, thin strips. Thread 1 strip onto each skewer, weaving the skewer back and forth along the length of each steak strip. Arrange the skewers on a large platter or baking tray. Cover with plas‑tic wrap and refrigerate until needed. Until 30 minutes before you plan to grill the skewers, combine the soy sauce, honey, red pepper f lakes, cum‑in, turmeric and oil in a small bowl. Pour this marinade over the steak skewers, turning to coat the meat evenly. Leave the skewers to mari‑nate at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Preheat an outdoor grill, stovetop grill, broiler, panini grill or hinged grill. Meanwhile, make the sauce: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the garlic cloves and blanch them in the boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds. Drain well, pat dry with paper towels, and chop finely. In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and green onion; saute just until they begin to soften and smell fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, soy sauce, honey, hoisin or barbecue sauce, and red pepper f lakes and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Pour the sauce through a strainer into a clean pan and, over medium heat, whisk in the remaining butter a little bit at a time. Keep warm. Grill the skewers, in batches if nec‑essary to prevent overcrowding, until cooked through and nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side on the out‑door grill or in the grill pan or broiler, or 2 minutes total in the panini grill or hinged grill - or 1 minute total for rare. (Take care that the skewers don’t prevent the panini grill or hinged grill from closing properly.) Transfer to a platter, pour on the sauce, and serve; or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
