By Chris Christopher BARNEGAT – Jason Groome did not have to wait long to hear his named called in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. The Barnegat High School senior left-hander was selected 12th on the first round by the Boston Red Sox – his favorite team – at night June 9 in Secaucus. “Unreal right now,” Groome said on Twit-ter. “This feeling is priceless.” The slot is worth $3,192,800, according to overthemonster.com. “He has a lot of upside,” Al Leiter, a

Barnegat High School senior Jason Groome was selected 12th on the first round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft by the Boston Red Sox.

Barnegat Senior Drafted By Boston Red Soxsecond-round pick by the New York Yan-kees in 1984 out of Central Regional and a retired major-league pitcher, said on the Major League Baseball Network. “He has a fastball and curveball combination that is as good as any high school pitcher I have ever seen. I can see why he was drafted as high as he was He’s a 17-year-old senior.” Groome’s name was called by Rob Man-fred, the Commissioner of Baseball. Should Groome sign a professional contract with Boston, he will most likely begin his career in the low minor leagues. A possible destination is Greenville, S.C.,

home of the Greenville Drive of the South Atlantic League, a low Class A circuit. The Lakewood BlueClaws, a Philadelphia Phillies farm team, will visit Greenville from June 23 to 26. Boston has until July 15 to sign Groome – the highest professional baseball draft pick out of high school in Shore Conference history. Other possibilities are the Lowell (Mass.) Spinners and the Gulf Coast League Red Sox. Lowell is a member of the New York-Penn League, a short-season Class A circuit. The GCL Red Sox are based

By Daniel Nee BARNEGAT – After refining the township budget, officials in Barnegat Township have approved an operating budget for 2016 that comes in with a slightly smaller tax hike than previously proposed. The municipal tax increase will rise by 7.1 cents per $100 of assessed real estate value this year for township residents, down from 7.2 cents as proposed in April by the governing body. For the resident of a home worth $237,548, there will still be a tax increase this year, though it will be slightly short of the $171 as originally proposed. Barnegat’s $24,106,606 spending plan for 2016 will be supported by a tax levy of $19,449,995.

By Shawn Smith OCEAN COUNTY – More than a year after the closing of the Tent City in Lakewood, some residents have begun a smaller commu-nity in Howell. While some people are living off the land, one woman is working towards bringing “tiny homes” to New Jersey. Sherry Rubel, a local photographer, docu-mented life at the Tent City in Lakewood for over four years, in an exhibition now on display at the Ocean County Artists Guild. 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. The first part of the project is to give homeless a place to go.

ACTIVISTS HOPE TINY HOMES CAN REPLACE TENT CITY “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 toi-lets,” Rubel said. “It can be a whole lesson in sustainability. 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.

in Florida. The 6-foot-5, 225-pound Groome was once considered the top prospect in the draft. However, he was the fifth high school pitch-er taken because of rumors about maturity issues and high financial demands. He was a near unanimous choice to be the first player chosen. He was projected to go as high as third in mock drafts. Two of the high school pitchers selected ahead of Groome were lefties. Two other college hurlers were also chosen ahead of Groome. “It was kind of hectic seeing myself slide,” Groome said. “I was waiting to hear my name called. I had high expectations going in. When I heard my name called, especially by Boston, my whole family was ecstatic. I just couldn’t believe it. I was not expecting that at all. It was just the best experience of my life. My stomach dropped. It was a crazy experience. They’re my favorite team. It was just a great experience for that to happen. I was just soaking it in. I couldn’t believe it. My parents came running to me. My sisters are hugging me. It was just unreal.” “There are other issues with this young man causing him to slide,” MLB Network analyst Dan O’Dowd, former general man-ager of the Colorado Rockies, said during the draft coverage. “He has the chance to be an all-star year in and year out. His curveball is the best in the draft. He has a clean and balanced delivery. For the Red Sox, I think he was the best player on their board. I don’t think there is a deal in place.

I think they will try to sign him after the pick.” A high-level scout from a team picking in the top 10 said there were “too many unknowns” with Groome, Groome’s family and his advisor, Jeff Randazzo, the scout said, were looking for top-thee pick money--that’s close to $7 million--which also may have contributed to his slide. Groome initially was expected to attend the draft at the MLB Studios in Secaucus, but changed plans On June 7, Groome de-committed from Vanderbilt University and committed to Florida’s Chipola College, which would allow him to re-enter the draft next year if he doesn’t sign with the Red Sox instead of having to spend three years at Vanderbilt. Chipola is a junior college. The owner of a fastball between 92-97 mph, changeup and curveball, Groome went 2-3 as a senior for the Bengals. His first two starts were wiped off the books as he missed a portion of the season after being declared ineligible by the NJSIAA. The governing body ruled Groome violated its transfer rule when he left the IMG Academy in Braden-ton, Fl., to return to Barnegat. As a senior, Groome struck out 90 and walked 14 through 39 2/3 innings. He posted a 0.77 earned run average. He surrendered five earned runs. He allowed 10 runs over-all. Clocked at 97 mph last summer when he slayed some of the nation’s best hitters, Groome never got above 94 mph as a senior. He fanned 19 in a no-hitter against Cen-tral Regional in April. However, the gem was wiped off the books by the NJSIAA. Groome as a sophomore was 6-2 with a 0.57

earned run average through 61 1/3 innings. As a junior, Groome was 5-0 with a 1.22 earned run average at the IMG Academy. He blazed his way to 81 strikeouts through 43 innings. He walked nine. Groome joined an elite list of players with New Jersey ties who have been chosen in the first round. Mark Leiter, a former Central hurler and a retired major-league pitcher, warned Groome of tough times. “What he will discover is the competition is insane,” said Leiter, a brother of Al Leiter. “Only 30 percent of first-round draft choices make it to the majors. The only good thing as as a number one pick he will be given time to prove himself. He needs to have his head on straight. If he goes in thinking he has it all figured out, then he’ll be in trouble. He needs to have the idea that nobody will outwork him.” Such players as Willie Wilson (Summit High School), Rick Cerone (Essex Cath-olic, Seton Hall), Dale Berra (Montclair), Willie Banks (St. Anthony), Craig Biggio

(Seton Hall), Mo Vaughn (Seton Hall), Rick Porcello (Seton Hall Prep), Eric Duncan (Seton Hall Prep), Todd Frazier (Toms River South), Sean Doolittle (Shawnee) and Mike Trout (Millville) are 11 of the 33 players with Garden State connections who have been selected in the first round of the draft since it began in 1965, according to Bob Behre, Diamond Nation’s director of publications. Former Middletown South and Rider Uni-versity player Jeff Kunkel and Banks were the highest New Jersey players selected as they were chosen third. Kunkel went to the Texas Rangers in 1983 while Banks wound up with the Minnesota Twins in 1987. Kunkel, Jack Armstrong of Neptune and the University of Oklahoma, the No. 18 overall pick in 1987; J.M. Gold of Toms River North, the No. 13 overall pick in 1998; Frazier, the No. 34 overall pick in 2007, and Pat Light of Christian Brothers Academy and Monmouth University, the No. 37 overall pick in 2012, are the only players with Shore Conference ties to be chosen on the first round.

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

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

OCEAN COUNTY – With Barnegat Bay as its backdrop, Ocean County officials joined with lo-cal representatives from the northern barrier island and Lavallette Elementary School students to unveil a new pumpout boat bring-ing the number of boats to seven. “This is a wonderful day for Ocean County,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vi-cari, who serves as liaison to the pumpout boat pro-gram. “We make every effort to protect our bay here in Ocean County and this is yet another step in preserving this environ-mental jewel.” Vicari, along with Free-holder Virginia E. Haines, recognized seventh grade science students from La-vallette Elementary School who helped in creating a name for the boat – The Pollution Solution. “We have asked school students to help name all of our boats,” Vicari said.

“This makes them part of the process and helps to raise awareness of the im-portance of Barnegat Bay.” Haines also acknowl-edged teacher Jill Lorenz in helping the students with creating a name. “We appreciate her for incorporating this into her class work,” said Haines, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Planning Department, which over-sees the pumpout program. “While I believe all of us who live by or on the bay are well aware of its value, this helps to emphasize that it needs constant care. One of the best places to start that discussion is with our children.” Ocean County’s pum-pout boats are specially equipped vessels capable of emptying the on-board toilets and tanks of other boats, thus keeping waste from entering the bay. The boats cover different ar-eas of the bay throughout Ocean County. The pum-

pout boats can be accessed by contacting the captains on VHF Radio Channel 9. The seven boats were all purchased by Ocean Coun-ty with the costs being re-imbursed through the Clean Vessel Act Grant and the NJ Shore-to-Please license plate program. “I am very pleased to have sponsored the legislation that created the ‘Shore-to-Please’ license plate pro-gram, which helps provide funding for the pumpout boat program,” said Haines, who served in the state Leg-islature. “I am happy to see these funds resulted in such a successful program that helps to preserve Barnegat Bay and our environment.” As it enters its 19th boating season, the Ocean County Pumpout Boat program – now the largest in the state – provides environmental benefits and some extra eyes for safety on county waterways. “Since the program be-gan in 1997, more than

65,000 recreational boats have used the free service and more than 1.3 million gallons of eff luent have been disposed of properly,” Vicari said. “This program has been extremely popular and extremely successful and I am happy that we are expanding it with this new boat.” The new boat will be op-erated by Seaside Park and will be working in the area of the Central Barnegat Bay. Seaside Park also op-erates this first pumpout boats in the state, the Cir-cle of Life and the Waste Warrior. “This program has been a great partnership with the state, our municipalities, Seaside Park and Brick Township, the Ocean Coun-ty Utilities Authority and the Tuckerton Seaport,” Haines said.The costs to operate all the boats are split between the county and the Ocean County Utilities Authority. “The $120,000 budget cov-

ers the boat captains, fuel, maintenance, insurance and other incidental costs,” Vicari said. “This allows the service to be provided free of charge to boaters.” The state Department of Environmental Protection also provides some funds to offset the operational costs. Vicari said the pumpout boat program is essential for a county like Ocean County which relies on tourism for its economic base.“When boaters are un-able to use the many pum-pouts based at the marinas throughout the county, they should be using the pum-pout boats,” he said. “We now operate seven pumpout boats that are helping us do our part to keep Bar-negat Bay and its tributaries clean. We encourage all of our boaters who are out enjoying the bay and our rivers to use this free ser-vice and stop waste water pollutants from entering our waterways.”

“We are home to the great-est number of marinas in the state. We want people to use our bays and our rivers for recreational boating,” Vicari said. “But we also want everyone to enjoy these wonderful natural habitats responsibly and to be mindful of the envi-ronment that needs to be protected and preserved.” The Pollution Solution is a 23-foot boat with a 420 gallon holding tank. The boats operate Memo-rial Day weekend through October each year, includ-ing major holidays such as July 4th, and have steadily expanded their operations. For more information on the pumpout boat program, visit the Ocean County Plan-ning Department’s website at planning.co.ocean.nj.us/coastal.htm.

County Adds New Pumpout Boat, Seven Now In Use

OCEAN COUNTY – The Pinelands are under assault by crowds of illegal ATV and quad riders who are tear-ing up the pristine woods, leaving behind mounds of trash and endangering first responders who sometimes have to travel to remote areas to treat injuries. Unfortunately, social media has attracted many more riders into areas of the Pine-lands that had previously only been known to small groups of locals. Now, with word spreading on Facebook and high-reso-lution satellite images avail-able on every phone, riders from around the state and the Northeast are coming here, and in many cases

completely disregarding our laws regarding all-terrain vehicles. Additionally, police have found that many of these vehicles are unregistered and uninsured. Local police and the media have reported that large groups of riders arrive with trailers full of dirt bikes, quads and other ATVs. These riders are at risk of serious injury and can be difficult to find and treat in the vast expanse of pine forests. The motorized vehicles on Pinelands trails can also pose a forest fire danger to the surrounding woodlands. Police departments from Lacey, Barnegat and Ware-

town have already begun a campaign targeting off-road riders on both private prop-erty and conservation tracts. Working together with municipalities, the State Po-lice and the Department of Environmental Protection, we can control this growing problem. One suggestion might be the immediate confiscation of motorized off-road vehi-cles found on private proper-ty and restricted public land. Confiscation would send a strong message that peo-ple can’t simply travel to Ocean County and have a good time without obeying the law. Last summer also saw a problem with large par-

ties in some sections of the Pinelands, with partygoers leaving behind huge piles of trash. In one location, we esti-mated that more than 300 young people had gathered one weekend. Having fun is one thing, but

large uncontrolled crowds like this threaten the envi-ronment and make it diffi-cult for police and other first responders to respond to an emergency at such an event. We are very fortunate that 60 percent of all the land in Ocean County is preserved

open space, unavailable for building. By following the rules and working together, we can ensure that this valuable open space is protected and available for both us, and future generations, to safely enjoy.

Tax Rate:Continued From Page 1

Tax increases this year are driven by a number of factors, including increased contributions to employee health insur-ance premiums that rose from $1,947,170 in 2015 to $2,424,358 this year, officials said. Additionally, Barnegat – whose tax base is still affected by reductions caused by Superstorm Sandy – is still waiting for $400,000 in reimbursements from FEMA over expenses related to Superstorm Sandy. There was also a more practical reason for raising taxes this year, said Com-mitteewoman Susan McCabe. A former township mayor, McCabe said the com-mittee had held off on raising taxes in previous years because the school board decided to raise taxes on their end. “This past year, the Barnegat school system did not increase their tax rate,” McCabe said. “Unfortunately, but nec-essarily, we must take advantage of that opportunity and catch up.” John Novak, the current mayor, con-f irmed Barnegat is playing catch-up after years of little-to-no municipal tax increases, which he linked to annual elections and the aversion committee members had to proposing tax increases when they faced an election year. “During their election cycle, they don’t

want to vote to raise taxes,” he said of elected officials. “Year after year, you go by and you just never seem to catch up.” All members of the committee but Dep-uty Mayor Albert Bille voted in favor of the budget. Bille decided against voting in favor of adopting the spending plan due to the FEMA issue. “FEMA has short-changed Barnegat by almost a half-million dollars, causing our local taxes to increase to that extent,” he said, telling members of the public gath-ered at a recent committee meeting that he has met with U.S. Rep Tom MacArthur (R-3) along with other Ocean County officials over the issue. MacArthur has called on FEMA to review all of the claims submitted after Superstorm Sandy and for reforms at the federal agency. “I will work with the congressman to try to get Barnegat all that money that was never given to us,” said Bille. “Perhaps relief will come – I will work my tail off to get it – but right now I’m voting no.” Novak said the budget allows the town-ship to maintain facilities, including parks that have deteriorated and vehicles that need replacement. “All of that takes money,” he said. “It takes courage to say, ‘this takes money,’ and to deliver on the municipal process and on the municipal mission.”

Festival:Continued From Page 1

–Photo by Catherine GaliotoFilmmaker Bat-Sheva Guez was among the participants in Write By The Sea, a writ-er’s retreat for selected filmmakers that preceded opening night of the Lighthouse International Film Festival. “There is such great energy here,” Guez said. “This was a wonderful caring community.”

The festival, which spanned several days, featured international topics and intimate vignettes in its offerings, whether fea-ture-length documentaries of filmmakers embedded in the Syrian refugee crisis or a comedy short from New Jersey high schoolers. “It’s a packed house,” said LIFF Managing Director Christine Rooney Rooney said on opening night, as the question-and-answer portion with Kirsten Johnson, director of Cameraperson, the opening night film, was about to begin. “We are so proud of the festival…Independent films make the films that tell the stories that matter. We are so thrilled to again bring this to Long Beach Island. We have over a hundred filmmakers or film personnel here.” The festival was also a chance for social-izing, networking and discussion between filmmakers and festivalgoers, as LIFF pro-vided parties, panel discussions and more for All Access pass holders. “I think that’s the difference between this and simply going to the movies,” Rooney said. “This is about community. It’s about learning from one another, of making con-nections, of interacting… This is in depth, a really vibrant experience.” New this year was a program focusing on women filmmakers and screenwriters, a retreat offering a setting to develop their writing, called Write By The Sea. Rooney said the backdrop of LBI is peaceful and inspiring, allowing participants to focus and work with each other. Bat-Sheva Guez of Brooklyn, said it was an honor to be chosen among the participants for the retreat. “It made my summer,” she said. “It’s been peaceful, very quiet, very productive. We are all very focused, very driven filmmakers and we came here with an agenda and tried to achieve that.” The project she is developing is a fantasy story in a realistic setting, and she spent her time on LBI working on the story arc for one of the characters, as part of the final draft. “There’s so much energy here,” Guez said. “We were able to come together and whether it was the clacking of the keyboards or going off to contemplate on the beach, it was great…This was a wonderful caring community.” Guez had a film in the festival, part of a

block of short films that were screened June 11 at the Long Beach Island Historical Mu-seum. “Behind The Wall,” made in 2015, is a magical realism tale about 17 minutes in length. An injured young dancer flees her old life and moves into a strange dilapidated apartment -- an apartment with a view into a world that moves to its own distinct rhythm. In the eight years since its inception, the LIFF has grown to include more than 70 films, including 25 feature films, screened at locations such as the museum, Long Beach Island Foundation for the Arts and Sciences and Surf City Firehouse. In previous years, the Surflight Theater was among the locales, but the facility again declared bankruptcy last fall; auctions of the property were held this winter. Still, with signs throughout the island and promotional advertising as far away as New York, the festival drew strong crowds who came out to experience film in its many genres and formats. Among the awardees, for the Grand Jury Awards: Colby for best narrative feature, The Duke for best narrative short film, Joe’s Violin for best documentary short film, Perception for best student film. For the full list of film awards, or to join the society and participate in its year-round events, visit lighthousefilmfestival.org.

Stay Connected With Better Hearing Do you remember your life before with better hearing? Asking people to repeat themselves, avoiding crowded or noisy restaurants, cranking the television to a level that only you could tolerate – it sounds like a different life, doesn’t it? Every day, audiologists from around the world work closely with hearing device developers to perfect one thing: your listening experience. Nowadays, hearing device wearers have the ability to en-hance their living lifestyles with a variety of hearing device features, styles and accessories. These advanced technolo-gies provide more comfort, freedom and choice than ever before. Hearing devices used to come in two sizes: Big and bigger. Today, a person’s technology set can be as distinct as their hearing difficulties and as unique as the life they lead. AGX’s hearing device developers have taken note of people’s different lifestyles and are creating designs and features based on the way you live.

Here’s To Your Health

Dear Pharmacist

Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

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.

Busy Bee LACEY – This young man is C-lion, a one year old long-haired cat that would love to snuggle up in a lap and never leave. C-lion is actually short for Cowardly Lion, because this darling boy was such a scaredy cat when he arrived. He was a lost and lonely stray looking for something to eat, who found himself in a trap one day. He was brought in and was happy to be safe and sound, but was still a little scared. Even though he is nervous in new situation, C-lion does not act with aggression, he is very sweet. He gets along with other cats and would love a home where he will be pampered and cared for, just as he should be. For more information on Popcorn Park featured pets, visit ahscares.org.

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 vacation 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

e a c h b e f o r e you leave. The i n f o r m a t i o n 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 travel-ing, 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.

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 dynamics may be disturbed by dustups. In the week ahead someone could make an attempt to appear mys-terious 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 help.LEO (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 enthusiasm. 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.

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

MASCARPONE-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST WITH MIXED

BERRY COMPOTEServes 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 incision. 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 continue 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.
