ed to keep the traffic flowing smoothly in and out of the parking lot there, while locals can be seen walking along Princeton Ave-nue, headed to the market with their reus-able grocery bags tucked under their arms. Recreation Department Coordinator Christine Hessenkemper said some 37 vendors, including seven farmers, have booths at the market, and the township has received numerous applications for space from additional vendors. “People want to be here. We haven’t had to turn [vendors] away, but we’re going to max

it out and cap it at about 40 vendors,” she said as she eyed her clipboard at the market on Saturday morning. “We’re going through the approval process now.” This is the second year the market has been open after the township applied for and received a two-year $40,000 U.S. De-partment of Agriculture Farmers’ Market start-up grant that paid to establish the market, solicit vendors, signage, recycling bags for shoppers, advertising and more, said Township Business Administrator

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Two teens from Brick were among 30 Girl Scouts who were honored at a June 2 ceremony for earning the Gold Award, the highest honor a Girl Scout can earn. Casey L. Earl, 18, and Elizabeth Dlu-gosz, 16, attended the celebratory dinner at The Mill in Spring Lake, which also commemorated the 100th Anniversary of the Gold Award, equivalent to the Boy Scouts’ Eagle Award but is more difficult to achieve, said Erick Rommel, Chief Communications Officer for Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore. Less than five percent of Girl Scouts earn the Gold Award, and to eligible, she must have earned a Silver Award and completed one journey (a coordinated series of activities grouped around a theme), or they must have completed two journeys, he said. Then they have to present a service project to a volunteer board who can approve it, suggest revisions or reject it. Earning the Gold Award requires 80 hours of planning and implementing a challenging, large-scale project that is innovative, engages others and has a lasting impact on its targeted commu-nity with an emphasis on sustainability,

By Chris Christopher It was a memorable season for the Ocean County College women’s softball team. The Vikings went 26-13 overall. They won the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III Region XIX Tournament. And they finished sixth at the NJCAA Division III Tournament. The program was born in 1977. It was the first time the Vikings won the Region XIX

OCC Softball Finishes Sixth In Nationtitle and the initial time they qualified for the nationals. “Our team was very even keeled,” said Bob Mazanec, OCC’s seventh-year coach. “It never got too high. It never got too low. We rallied to win games a half dozen times. The girls never gave up. They were battlers.” Seven players won postseason honors. Sophomore outfielder Kara Molnar, a Jack-son Memorial High School graduate, and

Joanne Bergin. “We have a good system in place and the market continues to grow,” she said. “The plan for next year is to continue to build on the success...it is self-sustain-ing for the most part. Our recreation staff and parks department do a great job keeping things running smoothly,” Bergin said. Vendors who are not Brick residents pay $40 for space, while township residents pay $20, she added. Township Administrative Assistant and Public Information Officer Keith Rella said the location of the Farmer’s Market drives its success because there is ample parking, it is conveniently located for Brick residents and surrounding towns, there is plenty of room for vendors, there are bathrooms and the beach and play-ground are nearby. “People are surprised at the variety. There are fruits and vegetables, and this time of year there are also seedlings, plus artisan things like soaps, candles and

jewelry,” he said. There are different offerings from week to week, based on what fruits and vege-tables are in season, he said. “We are f lexible with our vendors. We would like them to come every week. Once they’re here there’s a very good likelihood they’ll come back,” Rella said. That’s true, said Laura O’Prandy, owner of LaLa’s Gourmet Cookies on Route 88 in Brick, who was selling cookie bites and brownie bits in cups and bags at the market. “People love it that we’re here, business has been absolutely wonderful, and every week we have to increase the inventory,” she said from her booth. “I started out this year with 150 piec-es, and I’ve increased it to 200,” said O’Prandy, who has expanded her inven-tory to include gluten-free items. Brick resident Linda Elhoushi brought her granddaughter Amber, 4, to the Farmer’s Market. “We will be coming every week like we did last year,” Elhoushi said. “There are a lot more vendors this year. I come mostly for the produce, and today I

bought corn and grapes,” she said. “Now Amber wants to go to the playground.” Midstreams residents Greg and Sherri Hall brought their two daughters Lon-dyn, 8, and Jovie, 5 to the market. “Everybody is so friendly,” Sherri said. “We mostly come for the vegetables and we’re getting to know the vendors. They change it every week. We buy whatever is growing and whatever is fresh, and right now we’re going to buy the kids some treats at LaLa’s Cookies,” she said. Brick Council President Paul Mummolo was shopping at the market on Saturday with his wife, Kathy. “We started the market later this year so there was more produce in season, and it will be ending later, on October 1,” he said. “The market is open from 9 a.m. until noon, but people come early. Many are here at 8:30, and so are the vendors,” he said. In addition to the offerings already mentioned, additional items for sale at the market include bread and baked goods, empanadas, kielbasa, woodworks, dog biscuits, tabletop planters, food trucks and much more.

Rommel said. Casey, a competitive swimmer who is a senior at Brick Memorial High School, joined Girl Scout Troop 1479 when she was in fourth grade. Her Gold Award project, “Water Safety: Not Just Another Day at the Beach,” educated children about the dangers of the water and how to be safe near bodies of water. “We live close to the shore and there are not many close by or affordable programs for children to be water aware,” she said before dinner was served at The Mill. She created and implemented a five-day wa-ter safety program that was held last July. The first three days were at the beach where Casey enlisted the help of Brick lifeguards to teach 16 children, ages 7-14, about undertows and rip currents, stand-up paddleboard/surfing safety and ocean safety. Day four of the program was spent at the Atlantic Club pool where the children learned about pool and diving safety, and with the help of Jersey Paddlers, the children were taught kayak, canoe and lifejacket safety. The last day was at Windward Beach, and with the help of her father Steve who is a volunteer firefighter in town, the kids learned about river and lake safety using jet skis and boats. Casey will be attending Stevenson Universi-ty in Baltimore in September where she will be studying applied mathematics. Elizabeth is a sophomore at Brick Memorial High School, and she became a Brownie in troop 1306 when she was in first grade. “My grandmother, Dorothy Clark, was a leader, and my mother Heather, my aunt Tamara Clark were in her troop, and then my mother and my grandmother ran the troop together,” Elizabeth said. Elizabeth’s Gold Award project, “Sketch It! BMHS Art Club,” inspired creativity at the high school with the creation of an art club. Forty people came to the first meeting, she said. “We started with the Mustangs theme. The art club did collaborative Mustangs murals, and then we starting painting other murals around the school,” she said. Individuals painted numerous other murals, and it became a way for graduating seniors to leave their mark behind, Elizabeth said. “Wherever there is a big blank wall there is going to be a mural in the future,” she said. “The original idea came to me because I want-ed to leave my mark on the school,” she said. Elizabeth hopes to attend Georgian Court or Rutgers University with an eye on becoming an art teacher. Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore CEO Sue H. McClure said that each year some 30 to 60 girls earn their Gold Star Award. “This is very special because of the 100th anniversary; to see what these young women have achieved, and the confidence and cour-age each exemplify is a testament to what Girl Scouts stands for; many have been with us since they were Daisies when they were 5 and 6 years old, and watching them grow is priceless,” she said. There are some 11,500 Girl Scouts in the Jersey Shore chapter with about 4,000 adult volunteers, McClure said.

all-region and second-team all-conference honors. Named third-team all-region and third-team all-conference were freshman pitcher-outfielder Marissa Stadtmauer and freshman catcher Stephanie Healy (Pine-lands). Through the Region XIX Tournament, Molnar hit .548 (63-for-115). She set the school career record for home runs (seven), including six this season. She drove in 44 runs and scored 56. She added 10 doubles and nine triples and sped to eight steals in eight attempts. The former Jaguar is headed to William Paterson University. “She has a lot of our records,” Mazanec said. “She is probably our all-time leader in runs scored and runs batted in. She has a quick bat and can drive the ball to all fields. She has really good speed on the bases and is an excellent baserunner.” Hussey went 16-4 through the nationals to tie OCC’s single-season wins record. The owner of a 26-9 career record, she leaves with the highest wins total in school history. She was named the Region XIX Pitcher of the Year in 2016. “She is what I consider a true pitcher as she does not throw that hard,” Mazanec said. “She has good movement. I would say her out pitch is her curveball. She moves the ball in and out and up and down and gets the hitters off balance.” Among the greatest women’s athletes in OCC history, Szymczyk also starred in basketball and volleyball. Szymczyk, who will play basketball for Rowan University, batted .545

Softball:Continued From Page 1

(61-for-112) through the Region IX Tourna-ment. She plated 52 runs, scored 30 and hit three homers and 15 doubles. Szymczyk and Molnar were among the Division III leaders in batting average. “I consider April a power hitter and a great defensive first baseman,” said Mazanec, who was assisted by Elise Weinberger and Mickey Minnitti. “She was a free swinger -- not some-one who looked to cut down on her swing. On defense, she has great hands and is aggressive. She is excellent at fielding bunts and she can handle all of the throws from the infielders. She dug a lot of balls out of the dirt. She made three errors in 233 total chances.” Binshedler batted .419 through the Region XIX Tournament. She scored 57 runs and drove in 21. Among her hits were nine doubles, two homers and three triples. “She hit leadoff,” Mazanec said. “She was very steady. She had a lot of responsibility at second base and made all of the plays. She turns the double play as well as anyone I have ever seen. She got on base and got us started. She and Hickman made for a great double play combination.” Hickman stung the ball at a .521 clip (63-for-121) through the Region XIX Tournament. She knocked in 28 runs, scored 52 and hit one homer and seven doubles. She will attend William Paterson. “She moved from second base to shortstop this year for the betterment of the team,” Mazanec said. “She helped set the table for Molnar and Szymczyk.” Stadtmauer was named the Most Valuable Player of the team’s best-of-three series against Cumberland County College in the Region

XIX Tournament in which she won both games, allowing one run in seven innings. Prior to displaying her pitching prowess, she was best known for her offense as she hit .434 through the Region XIX Tournament. “She was our third pitcher for most of the year,” Mazanec said. “She started in left field for 95 percent of our games. In the regions, our top two pitchers had difficulty, but she came in and shut things down in both games. We had one foot in the grave.” Healy hit .462 through the Region XIX Tournament. She drove in 24 runs and scored 20. She hit one homer, three triples and eight doubles. “She was an aggressive baserunner,” Mazan-ec said. “She was a good defensive catcher who really took charge in the infield.”

The Vikings also received contributions from sophomore outfielder Brianna Vafiadis (Central Regional), freshman third base-man-outfielder Bridgette Badalis (Roselle Catholic), freshman infielder Emily Dancisin (Pinelands), freshman outfielder Kristin Ko-lisz (Ossining, N.Y.), freshman catcher-second baseman Mackenzie Darmstatter (Barnegat), freshman outfielder Caitlyn Linstra (Lacey) and freshman pitcher Stephanie Havens (Jackson Memorial). Early in the season, OCC went 6-2 on a trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C. The team raised funds with the aid of the OCC Foundation, local businesses, families and friends. “We knew we could be good when we fin-ished the trip,” Mazanec said. “We saw we had some power, defense and pitching.”

OFFICE CLOSED: Saturday and Sunday

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

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

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

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

can’t they put a stop to wars? I know this letter sounds like a fairy tale, but I still believe in fairy tales. I hope we will see the light before it is too late. We would have it all, if we just learned to live in peace. I hope you all join in with my fairy tale, for I believe it! “Peace to all mankind.”Herb Greenberg, Jr. Brick

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

overregulation and intro-duce accountability into Washington’s regulatory system.

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

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

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

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

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

TWITCHING EYELIDS

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

www.oceancountyeye.com

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

LAKEWOOD – Georgian Court University graduates should remember that receiving a degree does not mean that they are finished learning. During the graduate commencement ceremony on May 19 and the Undergraduate Commence-ment Ceremony on May 20, the nearly 200 graduate students receiving their master’s de-grees were reminded that change was inevitable, and that they must continue to grow, simply to keep pace, and that education remains a lifelong process. “Never stop learning. Throughout my career, I’ve never stopped learning, and I’m always ea-ger to learn more,” said John K. Lloyd, president and CEO of Meridian Health, who delivered the commencement address at the graduate ceremony. Lloyd, who received an honorary Doctorate of Health at the ceremony, reminded the graduates to adapt in response to change, and to “never

accept ‘good enough’ as good enough because the world is going to keep changing, and so should you.” Miriam Felicia Hunte ’16, president of the Stu-dent Government Association Executive Board, who spoke on behalf of more than 275 students at the undergraduate ceremony, also encouraged her fellow graduates to continue to learn. “As we celebrate today, it is important to un-derstand that life is, in fact, a journey, and not a destination,” said Miriam, who reminded her class that the theme for their GCU Orientation in 2012 was “Make Your Mark.” “So I charge each of you – never stop learning, never stop improving and never stop inspir-ing others. This is how we will maintain our excellence and make our mark in this world,” added Miriam, who was awarded the Julia Blake Alumni Award as the senior who best displayed outstanding loyalty and service during her GCU years.

ARE YOU ONE OF THE 44 MILLION AMERICANS SUFFERING FROM OSTEOPOROSIS OR OSTEOPENIA?

Through research, the medical community

has discovered methods not only to combat Osteoporosis, but also prevent it. In order to treat this condition, let’s discuss the facts.

• Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become thin and porous, decreasing bone strength and leading to increased risk of breaking a bone. • During their lifetime 50% of all women and 25% of all men over the age of 50 will have an osteoporosis related fracture. • Fractures from osteoporosis are more common than heart attack, stroke and breast cancer combined.• Women and men alike begin to lose bone in their mid-30s. As they approach menopause, women lose bone at a greater rate, from 2-3% per year due to hormonal changes.

RISK FACTORS: Age, sex, tobacco/alcohol use, vertebralcompression fracture, fragility fracture, familyhistory of hip fracture, medical conditions or useof medications that inhibit absorption of nutrients or contribute to bone loss.

HELP IS OUT THERE:Over the past 20 years, treatment and prevention of osteoporosis have come a long way. Solutions can be broken down into 3 categories.

1. Physical Therapy:

By far the most conservative treatment for Osteoporosis is exercise through Physical Therapy. With the correct exercise program, the human body has the ability not only to prevent the loss of bone density, but also increase bone strength via the S.A.I.D. Principle (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands). By effectively increasing the strain or

MICHAEL YORKEMichael graduated with honors

from Gettysburg College in 1997, majoring in Exercise Science with a focus in Athletic Training. He continued his education at Hahnemann University earning a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy in 1999.

Michael has continued to expand his knowledge through continuing education hours with focus in Orthopedics as well as Geriatric Medicine. He has completed courses in the treatment of osteoporosis and postural changes. In 2005, Michael opened All-Care Physical Therapy Center with focus on personal, one-on-one, hands-on care. Michael has been a member of the American Physical Therapy Association since 1997. Michael’s experience has led him to develop an innovative, pain-free approach to physical therapy.

load on specific bone groups, we are able to facilitate bone mass development. Such activities must be specifically designed to stress bones in a safe manner. These exercises, in conjunction with manual therapy techniques to elongate muscle tissue and reduce compression forces on the bone, can drastically reduce the incidence of fractures. A physical therapist can determine if a simple exercise program can alleviate your symptoms.

2. Nutrition:

Nutrition and lifestyle play a key role in bone loss. Individuals who are not receiving adequate nutrition (low calcium or Vitamin D) or an excessive intake of protein, sodium and caffeine are considered at increased risk. Interventions such as calcium or vitamin supplements have been recommended for many individuals, as research has indicated that 1200-1500mgs of calcium a day along with 7-80 IU of Vitamin D reduced the fracture rate in post-menopausal women by 50%. This is generally a conservative approach and may help in the prevention of Osteoporosis in the post-menopausal female.

Research has shown that the body is better able to utilize calcium consumed in foods such as dairy products, oatmeal, tofu, soy seaweed, dark green vegetables, fish and some types of nuts. For those who are lactose intolerant (meaning they are unable to breakdown calcium into a bone building product) lactase drops may be utilized.

3. Pharmacology:

One of the biggest developments over the past 20 years in the treatment and prevention of Osteoporosis has been in pharmacology. Initially, Hormone Replacement Therapy was the most common intervention. Currently, Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (such as Nolvadex, Evista, Fareston) are more commonly recommended for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women.

Antiresorptive medications or Biophosphates (such as Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel, Reclast, Fortical

and Miacalcin) are now commonly utilized in the treatment of osteoporosis. Biophosphates work by preventing bone destroying osteoclasts from digesting bone.

The final class of pharmacological treatment is a bone forming medication known as Forteo. This is generally prescribed for those osteoporotic patients at high risk for fracture. Currently the FDA only recommends the utilization of this class of drug for 2 years due to potential side effects.

SPECIALIZED TREATMENT

At All-Care Physical Therapy, we specialize in the treatment and prevention of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia. We are one of the only facilities in Ocean County that have been certified in the treatment of Osteoporosis. It is essential that a physical therapist is aware of the risks of treating Osteoporosis and understand the most optimal therapeutic interventions to not only prevent the progression, but combat the disease itself.

LAKEWOOD – The Atlantic Baseball Confederat ion Collegiate League’s Intensity Baseball, a second year fran-chise with the ABCCL, is looking to make their mark under the leadership of General Manager Rich Zingaro, with new Head Coach Brett Hardie and returning Assistant Coach Jon Book. Coach Book, a f ield scout for the Bal-timore Orioles, explained the coaching staff ’s primary goal is to help their athletes continue to grow and develop their skills as baseball players. The Intensity Baseball team will use the John Patrick Sports Complex in Lakewood as its main home f ield throughout the summer. This year, Intensity Baseball will uti-lize a group of seasoned college base-ball players from all across New Jersey representing colleges and universities including: NJIT, Kean University, St Peter’s University, Fai rleigh Dick-inson University, Ramapo College, Ocean Cou nt y Col lege, Montcla i r State University, Burlington County College, New Jersey City University and Stockton University. Gettysburg College, Wilkes, Bloomsburg and Neu-mann Universities in Pennsylvania, St. Mary’s College and Salisbury Univer-sity in Maryland and Babson College in Massachusetts also have players on the Intensity. Intensity Baseball’s players to watch include: Adam Ayala (Babson Col-lege, MA), Ryan Shiffer (Bloomsburg University, PA) and Richard Power (Gettysburg College, PA). Ayala is a returning Intensity player who burst onto the scene at Babson this spring collecting 41 hits in 112 at bats for a .366 batting average for the Beavers. Ayala’s line included three doubles and four triples with 10 walks. He was also a danger on the base paths stealing 25 bases for the Beavers and

Intensity Baseball Begins Seasonscoring 35 runs. Shiffer of Bloomsburg is another potent bat to watch. He sported a .309 batting average, while collecting 29 hits over 94 at bats, including f ive doubles. Shiffer also scored ten runs on the season and drove in 14 runs. As for the team’s pitching staff, Inten-sity Baseball will be led by lefty Rich

Power. Power was one of the Gettys-burg Bullets prime time pitchers this past season. He worked a total of 62.2 innings pitched while posting a 6 to 4 record, striking out 50 batters over the course of the season. Power also showed his dominance on the mound by walking only 14 batters and recording two complete games this past season,

one being a complete game shut-out. The ABCCL is a nonprofit organiza-tion that uses community support and volunteers for its continued operation. To donate or support the team, contact the General Manager Rich Zingaro at [email protected], or ABCCL president, Monique Koehler at either [email protected] or 732-671-7009.

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

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

All Of Us Have An Autoimmune Disorder

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

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

OCEAN COUNTY – About 300 people turned out for the 10-year anniversary of the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Ocean County for the Dining for a Cause and Wine Tasting recently. The organizers and CASA thanks the friends, Board of Directors, sponsors, vol-unteers and the Wine Academy’s 11 wine vendors for helping to make the event a success. The fundraising event benefits CASA’s advocacy programs for Ocean County children in foster care. Dining for a Cause was held June 1 at Crys-tal Point Yacht Club, Point Pleasant. The Wine Academy, hosted 11 wine vendors sampling a selection of fine wines and spir-its, amid live music, gift auction and 50/50. Among the large-scale donors was Wells Fargo Bank with a $7,500 donation, and the Grunin Family Foundation $15,000 dona-tion and sponsorship of CASA programs. For 10 years, CASA of Ocean County, an independent non-profit, has served as

CASA Anniversary EventRaises More Than $20K

a voice in the courtroom for abused and neglected Ocean County children in fos-ter care. CASA recruits and trains caring adults to be CASA volunteer advocates. The CASA advocate ensures that the judge in the family court system is aware of all the facts to make the best decisions for the child’s future and help that child find a permanent home. In 2015 there were 756 Ocean County chil-dren in foster care with 150 served by a CASA volunteer advocate with many more on a waiting list for a CASA advocate of their own. CASA’s fundraising events enable CASA to help more Ocean County children waiting for a CASA advocate to be their voice in the courts. CASA’s next fundraising events will be comedy night on August 12 at the Laurelton Fire House in Brick, and Choc n Roll in October. To find out more about becoming a CASA volunteer or upcoming events please call 732-797-0590 or visit CASA’s website at casaofoceancounty.org.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

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

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

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 Nursing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”

Thanks to the support of our musicians, volunteers, sponsors and host towns, we’re able to keep jazz and blues music alive on the Jersey Shore.” The Point Pleasant Borough Jazz and Blues Festival headliner is the Billy Hector Expe-rience featuring the Midnight Horns. Billy Hector, known for his soulful style, will take the stage with the Midnight Horn, for a classic blues set sure to get the audience on its feet. The Billy Hector Experience is the winner of the Asbury Park Music Awards “Best Guitarist,” “Best Blues Band” and “Living Legend” awards, as well as the two-time winner of the East Coast Rocker’s “Best Guitarist” award.

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

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

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

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

Professional Profile

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

Toms River Surgeon Dr. Barbara Schneider Saves Lives, One Breast At A TimeGarden State Pain & Radiology Center

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

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

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

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

her patients survive, as well as thrive, despite a diagnosis of breast cancer. The odds are increasingly in their favor. “A diagnosis of breast cancer is no longer a death sentence,” Dr. Schneider says. “One of the biggest reasons is the increased use of screen-ing mammograms since the 1980s. Why should anyone check out at age 70 when they may have a good quality of life until they’re 90? At any age, a screening mammogram is the best investment a woman can make in her quality of life.” For further information, visit Dr. Schneider’s Web site at barbaraschneidermd.com. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Schneider’s office, located at 9 Hospital Drive, Suite C210, Toms River, NJ 08755, call 732-244-2060. Office hours are Monday and Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The office is closed on weekends.

Wolfgang Puck’s kitchen

By Wolfgang Puck Summer vacation has arrived for many families across the country. For others, it’s just a few days or weeks away. Par-ents everywhere are facing the challenge of what to do to keep their children in-terested and happy, not to mention well fed, during those long days. Sure, there’s camp to rely on, plus all sorts of sports teams or lessons, family outings, movies, museums, amusement parks and other attractions. But what about that downtime at home, when you want them to do something else other than watch TV or play video games, and they’re tired of reading? That’s the moment, I say, to turn your kitchen into a home cooking school for kids. Summer is an ideal time to teach your children about the pleasures of cooking at home. Tell them that you’re going to make them something they’d love to eat, and you’ll have their complete attention. That’s certainly what my late mother, Maria Puck, used to do when she wanted to get my sisters, my brother and me to settle down. The words “butterscotch pudding” were all she had to speak to get us to behave. Since her recipe for old-fashioned butterscotch pudding involves cooking a hot caramelized sugar syrup to make the butterscotch, it’s definitely not something where you want little helpers to be anywhere near the stove. But even young children can be encouraged to help you measure out the ingredients before the cooking starts, and then sit at-tentively nearby - but safely far enough from the stove - to watch as you explain what you’re doing. There are many good lessons to learn through this recipe. You’ll be able to show them how butter and brown sugar melt together and gradually turn into a rich caramelized butterscotch, how the tiny seeds from inside a split vanilla bean are the source of delicious vanilla flavor, and how cream turns the mixture into a luscious sauce. You can show them how egg yolks, “tempered” with some of the sauce so they’ll stay smooth and not turn into lumps like scrambled egg, not only enrich the sauce but also, together with some cornstarch, thicken it. You can also give them a quick lesson on how to make real whipped cream from scratch, rather than getting it from an aerosol can. And your young audience will also learn an important lesson in patience, since the finished pudding needs to chill in the refrigerator for several hours be-fore serving. But what a reward you’ll have to offer for their good behavior the rest of the afternoon!

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING Serves 4

6 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 cup (250 mL) loosely packed golden brown sugar 1/4 cup (60 mL) loosely packed dark brown sugar 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise in half, seeds scraped out and reserved1 3/4 cups (435 mL) plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream, divided1 cup (250 mL) plus 2 tablespoons whole milk Pinch of fine sea salt1/4 generous cup (65 mL) cornstarch 6 large cage-free egg yolks In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the butter, both the golden brown and dark brown sugars, and seeds you scraped from the vanilla pod. (Reserve the scraped-out pod, if you like, to put in an airtight sugar canister to make vanilla-scented sugar.) Place the pan over high heat and carefully cook, stirring often, until the mixture turns bubbling and dark brown, 3 to 5 minutes. In a measuring cup or bowl, stir together 1 cup (250 mL) plus 2 tablespoons of the cream and all of the milk. Carefully whisk them into the hot sugar mixture and add the sea salt. Bring the mixture back to a boil, whisking until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat. Put the remaining 3/4 cup (185 mL) cream in the refrigerator to chill. Sift the cornstarch through a fine-meshed sieve into a large heatproof bowl. While whisking continuously, gradually pour the hot cream-sugar mixture into the cornstarch. Return the mixture to the same saucepan and bring to a boil, whisking constantly, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Briskly whisk in a little of the hot butterscotch mixture to temper the eggs. Then, whisk the egg mixture into the re-maining butterscotch in the saucepan; and, while continuing to whisk constantly, bring the mixture almost to a boil, about 1 minute. Pour the custard through a wire-meshed sieve set over a large bowl, pressing it through with a rubber spatula. Ladle the custard into four martini glasses or glass serving bowls. Leave the glasses or bowls at room temperature to cool. Then, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold, up to overnight. Before serving, put the remaining chilled cream in a large bowl. Whisk by hand or with electric beaters until the cream forms soft peaks that droop slightly when the beaters or whisk are lifted out. Remove the plastic wrap from the chilled puddings. Spoon a dollop of whipped cream on top of each pudding. You can even sprin-kle a little brown sugar over the top if you want. Serve immediately.

A family member or loved one could briefly block your desires this week.CANCER (June 21-July 22): Bide your time before taking a side. The workplace could become a hotbed of unhappiness in the week ahead.
