Mastronardy, Sheriff’s Officer Robert Mazur was just completing his security detail around noon in Courtroom 214 on the third floor of 213 Washington St., when he glanced out the window toward the Harbor Front Condominiums at 215 Washington Street.Mazur observed a suspicious male in the back of the apartment complex standing in the backyard near a kitchen window located on the ground floor. After the subject looked around he then opened the window and entered the residence, according to the report.Mazur left the courtroom and headed to the building where the suspicious male gained entry. Mazur observed the male walking around the apartment carrying a white plastic bag that he allegedly did not have with him when he entered, according to the report.Mazur was joined by Sheriff’s Officer John Morano but an effort to gain entry into the apartment to apprehend the suspect resulted in

Through the efforts of Rob Larson, vice president of Larson Ford, Inc., and Lynette Whiteman, executive director of Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey, Toms River, N.J., the Larson Ford showroom is literally going to the dogs – the Caregiver Canines® therapy dogs, that is — from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., some Saturdays and Mondays, including August 13, 15, 27, and 29; September 17 and 19.

During that time, Caregiver Canine certified therapy dogs and their handlers will visit the dealership to provide their own special brand of therapy to Larson Ford customers and visitors. Larson Ford will also donate

$5.00 to the nonprofit Caregiver Canines® program for every vehicle sold during the Caregivers, Canines, and Cars event.

Larson Ford, a longtime advocate of therapy dog programs throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties and a supporter of the services therapy dogs provide, is showcasing local therapy dogs as well as their cars in their Lakewood showroom to make everyone aware of the benefits of therapy dogs.

Larson said, “Larson Ford is very happy to partner with this wonderful nonprofit agency. We are always looking for opportunities to give back to our community; and since Caregiver Canines brings such joy to people, we jumped at this chance.”Whiteman added, “We are so grateful to Larson Ford for

BERKELEY - Mayor Carmen F. Amato, Jr., is pleased to announce the fifth installment of our 2016 Sounds of Summer Concert Series will continue on August 3rd. “This is also our 5th Annual National Night out against Crime which begins at 5pm. The Berkeley Township Police Department will be on hand along with our Township First Aid Squads, Township Fire Departments, HAZMAT Unit, NJ State Police, Ocean County Security, Ocean County Sheriff Department K-9 Unit, Mounted Patrol and SWAT team.

The Sheriff’s Department will also be providing free child ID’s. Weather permitting; we will have a NJ State Police helicopter on hand so residents can get an up-close look and flight demonstration.” Mayor Amato said. “The Ocean County Security Department and the Berkeley Township Police Bike Patrol will host a bike rodeo where children

will learn bike safety and practice their skills in a course designed by the Ocean County Security Dept. All children who arrive with bicycles and helmets can participate and each child will receive a coupon to a local ice cream shop as part of the summer long “Get Caught Being Good” program.” Mayor Amato said. “Our DARE Program will also be on hand with games and prizes for the children to enjoy. The Berkeley Township PBA Local 237 has generously sponsored inflatable slides, sumo wrestling suits and a rockwall for all to enjoy free of charge.” Mayor Amato said.

“I would like to thank all of our police, fire and first responders for their participation once again.” Mayor Amato said. “Special thanks to Chief DiMichele for embracing the idea I brought forth to start the Night out Against Crime in Berkeley four years ago and Lieutenant Ryan Roth for organizing the event on behalf of our community.” Mayor Amato said. “The entertainment for the evening will feature YEEHAW, a modern Country Band that will begin at 7:30pm. Please come on out for a great evening and bring a chair. Refreshments are always provided by our area non-profit groups that use these concerts as fundraisers for

their organizations.” Mayor Amato said. “I am also pleased to announce that evening, in conjunction with the Berkeley Municipal Alliance, the Berkeley Police Department and County and State Agencies; we will have a prescription drug collection tent. Mayor Amato said.

“We have been very proactive in our efforts to provide our residents the opportunity to clean out their medicine cabinets and safely dispose of their unused, unwanted and expired prescription medications. For the last few years, our Township has participated in “Project Medicine Drop” were we collected unused, unwanted and expired medications at a convenient drop off location twice a year.” Mayor Amato said.

“In 2014, Berkeley Township became the sixth township in Ocean County to have a prescription drop off box to provide the proper disposal of unused, unwanted and expired medications.” Mayor Amato said. “The prescription drug drop box is installed at our police station where citizens can dispose their unused, unwanted and expired prescription medications safely and securely 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Mayor Amato said.

“As a reminder The Berkeley Township Police Department has an anonymous tip line (732) 341-1132, Ext. 611. This tip line is only for matters that do not require an immediate police response. Some examples for using the tip line are suspicious vehicles coming and going to a residence. You suspect some type of illegal activity and just want to let us know. However, if you think you observed a crime in progress, please call 9-1-1 immediately.” Mayor Amato said.

In an unprecedented action, the Millburn School District, Millburn, N.J., agreed to pay Omari George, a 2014 graduate of Millburn High School, $435,000 to settle his lawsuit in which he claimed he was a long term victim of bullying. The George lawsuit alleged that, though the multiple acts of bullying were reported to school officials, those claims were ignored and that the school officials failed to take action to address the physical and emotional bullying.The settlement was reached on the first day of the trial, heard in the New Jersey federal court as the George Complaint claimed his civil rights were violated and that Millburn failed to comply with the New Jersey law on bullying.The law requires that when school officials are made aware that a student is being bullied, they must conduct an investigation and take effective action to address the harmful behavior.“During my freshman and sophomore years at Millburn I was tormented by other students both physically and emotionally. I was the victim of frequent racial slurs and physical abuse and though I reported these, the school administrators ignored me,” said Omari.Since Omari’s Millburn High School experience, the New Jersey law was changed to put more teeth into what school administrators must do to address bullying. The new law places responsibility directly on the school to take affirmative action to address allegations of bullying, including cyberbullying.Millburn High School is frequently recognized as one of the finest schools in New Jersey. George’s lawyer, Harry Levin of the law firm of LevinCyphers, Toms River, said, “Millburn’s handling of the complaints of bullying was abysmal. They failed to recognize that bullying was a huge problem in their student population. Omari and other minority students routinely faced racist statements and physical intimidation.”Prior to the George lawsuit, Millburn contracted for a Diversity Study to be performed. The Study disclosed pervasive evidence of a lack of sensitivity to minorities, including that there was not a single African American or Latino teacher at the school.Levin said, “Our children need to be safe while they are in school and free from harassing behavior, especially when it’s based on race, gender or sexual preference. Teaching children the importance of tolerance and acceptance is as important as the three R’s.”Omari George, the son of Reverend Daryl and Brenda Barnes-George, a reading teacher, is now a sophomore at Morehouse College in Atlanta. He plans

on a career in education and has created his own school for marshal arts. “I want to teach my students the skills necessary to protect themselves if they become a victim,” Omari noted.Levin commented, “Hopefully the real benefits of this case will be that parents make sure their children are not terrorized by other students, and that effective programs to address bullying must be implemented for New Jersey schools.”For further information or inquiries please contact Harry Jay Levin, Esq., at LevinCyphers, 700 Hooper Avenue, New Jersey.

ARIES: 21st March & 20th AprilYou will begin to gain clearer vision of long-term aims. In part this can be connected to a release of pressure from the desires of somebody else. The big picture will need to be filled in with all the small details to early October. Failure to do this will result in blockages that will hold back progress and become frustrating.

TAURUS: 21st April & 20th MayPut the finishing touches on whatever you feel you need to get established to create a good foundation with any situation moving forward. Something new is likely to be part of the process. You need to be firm about what suits you best as someone else will have no qualms putting pressure on you to change things to suit them more.

GEMINI: 21st May & 20th June Activity with others will certainly step up a notch. Things that weren’t fully sorted out in March, April and May involving others, can now become settled by late September. Simply speaking about new directions is not enough – this will take detailed and persistent follow up from you to get things settled and in place.

CANCER: 21st June & 22nd JulyNow is the time to put some new habits in place when it comes to money matters, which more than likely relates most to spending. You can be exceptionally clear headed on many issues to early October. There is no need for quick decisions. What is more important are the details and awareness of obligations attached.

LEO: 23rd July & 22nd August The New Moon occurs this week in your sign, providing the opportunity to set new directions in place with anything on a personal level. It’s easy-going link to Saturn brings an added bonus of being able to deal with obligations more easily than usual. Focus moves to your finances to early October. Impulsiveness here won’t be rewarded.

VIRGO: 23rd August & 22nd September You will have an extra long period with Mercury, the planet of thought and communication now in your sign until 7th October. It will provide opportunity to come to terms with all things important. You should think over what has happened since your last birthday while Jupiter has been in your sign – it has been a turning point. Decide on actions that need to be taken for getting things in place.

LIBRA: 23rd September & 22nd October From now to early October you will need to find time to yourself to contemplate what really needs to be let go of in life, based on what you have experienced since August. New priorities can take shape this week and it won’t be difficult to either find the information you need or to realize the practical decisions you should make.

SCORPIO: 23rd October & 21st November July especially has been an important time for you to realize where you stand or what you are about as your new 2-year cycle finally crystallized. New obligations can now arise. This can require you to become more detailed when it comes to priorities from now to early October. Expect to change your mind in this time.

SAGITTARIUS: 22nd November & 21st DecemberWith Mars now moving back into your sign where it will remain until the 27th September, you can now expect your new 2-year agenda to become more solid after it didn’t fully engage in March, April & May. New horizons are beckoning. You must deal with commitments in a most fine tuned manner for ultimate long-term success.

CAPRICORN: 22nd December & 19th January There is a lot going on under the radar, particularly where other people are concerned. You just need to be patient, let time take its course and allow details to emerge, as they will. Meanwhile focus on your own goals in detail to early October, especially in relation to surprising options that may have presented in the last year.

FOR AQUARIUS: 20th January & 18th FebruaryNew directions involving other people can have a surprisingly stable result when it comes to things important to your own life. Amongst this could be the establishment of new friendships. There can still be mystery and mind changing with others to early October so ensure you act in your own best interests, always.

PISCES: 19th February & 20th MarchIf somebody else questions your level of commitment don’t be too quick to react. This could be the start of a conversation that will go on to early October. It will test you to consider your obligations carefully, as well as deciding what you believe is worthwhile to act on. Mainly you will want to feel appreciated for your efforts.

Five Nights in Maine is a story about worlds colliding at the kitchen sink. It is about loneliness, frailty and connection and ultimately it is about one man’s fight for his humanity – his struggle to remember and show us his worth. The film gives a glimpse into the inner life of an American family in a time of great loss, a family that reflects its culture in becoming more multicultural and multiracial. After his wife dies in a tragic car accident, young Sherwin (David Oyelowo) is called to Maine by his terminally ill and estranged mother-in-law Lucinda (Dianne Wiest). Grappling with a lifetime of disagreements, Lucinda and Sherwin find themselves forced to cope with their failings and grief in a quiet journey of empathy, compassion and healing. Admission: $5.00 at door LIFS Members -FREE

SEND YOUR CHILDREN BACK TO SCHOOL PROTECTED FROM

SERIOUS DISEASES“Before you know it, kids will be heading back to school. Not only is it time to do the school shopping but it is the perfect time to make sure your children are up-to-date on their vaccines, stated Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator, said that August’s National Immunization Awareness Month celebrates the importance of immunizations for people of all ages – and make sure children are protected with all the vaccines they need as they go back to school.

Regenye added, “Getting children all the vaccines recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) immunization schedule is one of the most important things parents can do to protect their children from serious diseases. As school time is right around the corner, now is the time to check with your child’s health care provider to find out if any vaccines are needed. Remember, vaccines protect against a number of serious and potentially life-threatening diseases.”

When children are not vaccinated, they are at increased risk for diseases and can also spread diseases to others in their classrooms and community; including babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated and people with weakened immune systems due to cancer or other health conditions. You can visit the Ocean County Health Department’s website at www.ochd.org to view immunization schedules for young children, adolescents and adults.

UNITED WAY OF MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES

HOLDS ANNUAL “STUFF THE BUS” DRIVE FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES

Farmingdale, NJ – United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties is now holding its annual “Stuff the Bus” school supply drive at eight locations throughout Monmouth and Ocean County to meet the growing demand for school supplies needed by children throughout the community. The drive is designed to help ensure that all children begin the school year with the tools they will need to succeed. “Providing these educational supplies helps support a child’s ability to learn while removing some of the financial burden from both parents and teachers,” says Timothy C. Hearne, President & CEO of United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. “Donations from the Stuff the Bus drive allow children to focus on their assignments instead of worrying about whether they have the tools to complete them.”

Stuff the Bus events will be held at eight local stores, all from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., where shoppers are invited to donate new school supplies to the drive:Saturday, July 30 – Walmart in Lanoka HarborFriday, August 5 – Walmart in Neptune Saturday, August 6 – Walmart in Freehold and Walmart in Manahawkin Friday, August 12 – Boscov’s at the Monmouth Mall in Eatontown Saturday, August 13 – Walmart in Howell and Walmart in BrickSunday, August 14 – Wegmans in Ocean Township

School supplies can also be donated to the drive online through a convenient website called Roonga. Any items purchased through Roonga will be shipped directly to United Way, and most of the needed items can be found on the site. The online drive can be accessed here through August 1 at https://www.roonga.com/uwmocstb/.

In addition to providing an opportunity to donate school supplies, United Way offers volunteers a way to give their time to the drive. Volunteers ages 12 and up are needed at the community events, and also to help count and sort donations through the month of August. Interested volunteers can register by contacting Jackie Liguori at 848-206-2037 or [email protected].

Stuff the Bus will be one of the first joint initiatives for United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, which was recently formed through a merger of United Way of Monmouth County and United Way of Ocean County. For more information about United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties or the Stuff the Bus drive, please contact Kaarina Romero at 848-206-2042 or visit uwmoc.org.# # #

Fife & Drum Taptoe Concert Series Returns to Trenton’s Old Barracks Museum Trenton, NJ—The Old Barracks Museum celebrates history, music, and warm summer evenings with the fourth annual Taptoe Concert Series on July 29. The gates open at 7 PM and the music starts at dusk to magically and musically transport you to the 18th century. Reserved seating is available on our balconies or bring a lawn chair and enjoy the performance from the ground. The Taptoe recreates a summer evening in 18th century Trenton, when the musick and the guard would march through a garrison town signaling the time for the taverns to close their taps and for the soldiers to return to their barracks. Beginning at dusk, the evening will be illuminated with dramatic lighting by torches, candles, and spotlights. The Old Barracks Band of Musick will perform a production of The Battle of Trenton, a military sonata dedicated to George Washington, composed by James Hewitt (1770-1827) coupled with dramatic vignettes by Richard Bales circa 1950. John Burkhalter from the Practitioners of Musick will perform on the small flute, and dance master Sue Dupre will lead dancers through colonial steps to live music. Advanced tickets available for purchase online at www.barracks.org or visiting the Old Barracks Museum Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM. Ticket prices are as follows: $25 reserved balcony seating with included light refreshments; $10 lawn seating; $20 reserved balcony seating for Old Barracks Museum members.

Sponsored by Jeffrey J. Schrader, CPA, P.C. Proceeds from the event benefit the Old Barracks Museum, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Sunday, September 18, 10:30-12:30pm Assessing Your Soil’s HealthIt’s important to have a healthy foundation on which to build your garden. Soil is that foundation - it provides your plants with mineral nutrients, air, water and a place to grow. But, how do you know if your soil is healthy? A “soil health assessment” can provide you with valuable information about the physical, chemical and biological properties of your soil, and offer solutions to common problems such as compaction, erosion, lack of nutrients, and pH that is too acidic or too alkaline. Eileen Miller, Soil Health Specialist of Healthy Landscapes, will show you how to assess your own soil, determine its health, and amend your soil to create a healthier garden. Rain or shine, dress appropriately for indoor and outdoor learning. FREE! Location: Jakes Branch County Park. Pre-registration required, seating is limited. To register, please contact Becky Laboy, Education Outreach Specialist, Ocean County Soil Conservation District, (609) 971-7002 ext. 114 or [email protected] Saturday, October 8, 12:30-2:30pm Soil Food Web Gardening Cont.. next page....

Lakewood Museum to Open September 7 with Ceremonies and Toastamonial

The Lakewood Historical Society and the Lakewood Heritage Commission are celebrating the opening of the Sheldon Wolpin Lakewood Historical Museum in Pine Park with preliminary ceremonies at the museum at 5:30 p.m. and a Toastamonial honoring Robert Kirschner at the Lakewood Country Club, Country Club Lane, at 7:00 p.m., on Wednesday September 7, 2016.Senator Robert Singer, Assemblyman Sean Kean, Lakewood Mayor Menashe Miller, and officials of the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce are among dignitaries participating in the opening ceremony at Kuser Hall, the newly refurbished 15,000-square-foot building that houses Lakewood antiquities.Kuser Hall, the last remaining building of five that made up the Newman School, an exclusive preparatory boarding school for boys, closed in 1942. The building, which the township acquired in 1964 through Green Acres Funding, was the math and science center of the school. Through the volunteer efforts of members in the Historical Society and the Heritage Commission, Kuser Hall has been transformed into a showcase, featuring Lakewood memorabilia and artifacts. The Township gave both groups a long-term lease in 2012 and it has taken four years to create six galleries on the first floor and a main hallway, depicting scenes of “old” Lakewood.Some of the renovations include power washing and painting the building; installing handicap ramps, interior and exterior lighting, a security system, and restroom facilities; and replacing 550 plus panes of glass. A fountain from 1881 originally commissioned by a group of Lakewood residents was moved from Clifton Avenue to the front of the museum. The museum also boasts a mono-wing airplane in the southeastern outside corner of the building as part of some hands-on exhibits. The Ocean County Society of Model Railroaders has relocated from downtown Lakewood to the lower level of the museum where members are building two exhibits, one for O Gauge and the other of HO Gauge model trains. The Township Committee, Lakewood publics works, and the Inspection Department have been especially supportive. Many present and former Lakewood residents have given financial support as well as goods and services.

Toms River Regional Schools Creates Title I Summer MakerCamp

District addresses summer learning loss with grant funding.

For some students, coming back to the classroom in September is as hard as readjusting to the early morning wakeup; it can take weeks to get back into the school mindset. Many families do not have the means to provide enriching opportunities for their children over the summer. The Toms River Regional School District is addressing this “summer learning loss” through a $100,000 New Jersey Department of Education innovateNJ grant targeting Title I schools. According to Superintendent David Healy, the district has been in a curricular and mindset makeover over the past two years to address new state standards in technology, careers, and the core subject areas, and to bring more creative control back to teachers. “From kindergarten to 12th grade, lesson plans are shifting increasingly to hands on, problem-based learning, with real world applications and a wider variety of tools and materials,” says Healy. Last October, the district created the Jersey Shore Makerfest, which drew over 100 presenters and more than 4000 participants from all over the east coast. Starting in January, it partnered with Office Depot to create a $60,000 Innovation Station with high tech displays, furniture, and 3D printers. It went to a full day kindergarten model with multisensory learning centers at its core. And on NJ Makers Day in March, it played host to twelve districts from across the state, both live and virtually, in joint projects involving programming, cardboard constructions, and digital badging. Says Healy, “In challenging financial times, in a district with almost 16,000 students and learning programs in 19 buildings, it can be difficult to implement initiatives across every school simultaneously. Finding grants that match our mission creates opportunities to research and test innovations in individual locations while having little impact on the budget.” In the past year alone, the district has worked with nearly half a million dollars in grants, including awards from the Grunin Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Department of Education. The MakerCamp grant was written by Assistant Superintendent Marc Natanagara with support from district staff. “Our cross-disciplinary teacher team has pushed us to look at learning as an organic whole, rather than divided up into discrete periods of separate subjects. That’s not how we approach problems in real life, and our educators are finding ways to use more holistic strategies in their classrooms.” The program runs for six weeks, Monday through Friday. Each week is thematic, includes a field trip, and focuses on one or more real world problems. The themes are: The Jersey Shore, Robotics, Art and Society, Weather and Climate, Food and Health, and Manufacturing and Design. Supervisor of Educational Technology Tiffany Lucey will be the site director. According to Lucey, “This program promotes career-ready and maker practices, with skills, concepts and projects spilling over from week to week so students have a sense of the interconnectedness of learning.” Says Natanagara, “What is unique about MakerCamp is its nearly complete departure from a traditional classroom model. The program allows time schedules and student groupings to vary as needed. Activities are designed to appeal to diverse interests, abilities, and age levels. There will be no lectures, slide shows, or desks in rows. Physical activity and mindfulness breaks occur with regular frequency. And each week culminates with students presenting a project that addresses a real world problem that they have worked on and gained knowledge of during the week.” Advisors from the schools and community have had input on the program design and will mentor students on their project prototypes. “Local artists, NAVAIR, Ocean County College, Scouts, the Toms River Chamber of Commerce, and many others have embraced the concepts and pledged support,” according to Natanagara. “Our kids are going to have experiences in and with the community that they may never have had otherwise.” For example, during the “Art and Society” week, students will practice visual, performing and digital arts techniques, tour downtown Toms River art works and galleries, and build individual creative pieces to share with the community. Superintendent Healy concludes, “Innovation isn’t just about putting technology in teacher and student hands. It’s about getting them to engage in ways they haven’t before using tools in new and creative ways. It’s about connecting with the larger world.”

PRESS RELEASEWaretown branch Library

Month of AugustNew York City Unfiltered – Sheldon

Nadelman

Although Sheldon Nadelman’s subjects were often overlooked, as well as, stepped over, his photographs often got much attention. An acclaimed book, Terminal Bar – A Photographic Record of New York’s Most Notorious Watering Hole and a Sundance award winning short film documentary award, The Terminal Bar, have both resulted from his works. Even Martin Scorcese used the Terminal Bar in his film, Taxi Driver. From Nadelman’s vantage point as a bartender at the Terminal Bar at the corner of Eighth Avenue and West 41st. Street, he shot 2600 photographs with his $85 Pentax. His works have been the subject of a New York Times article, whose headquarters, ironically, now stands on the former site of the bar. Taken from 1962 until 1981, his photographs have long been recognized as historically significant. Along with the “sooty, sticky-floored life” images taken off the streets in front of the Terminal Bar, Nadelman is also displaying sensitive images of the World Trade Center, pre-9/11. A reception will be held at the Waretown Branch Library on Monday, August 8 at 7:30 pm and it is open to the public. These programs are free and open to the public. Please register online at www.theoceancountylibrary.org or by calling 609 693-5133

English Conversation Group Proves Popular At Ocean County LibraryTOMS RIVER – Joao Domingos came to the United States from Portugal three decades ago but his desire to improve speaking English and his knowledge of America brings him to the Ocean County Library on a weekly basis.

Domingos, of Beachwood has been a part of the Ocean County Library’s English Conversation Group for the past five years. He said that the program held at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the Hometown Dairy room at the library’s Toms River Branch, 101 Washington St., is an important part of his life. The program also takes place at the library’s Jackson, Lakewood, Beachwood, Little Egg Harbor and Point Pleasant Beach branches.

“Joao is one of our regulars. He is always here,” Christine Becauccio, of Toms River said. Becauccio coordinates the Wednesday sessions and is one of three volunteers who oversee the hour long program. Graham Bright co-leads the program with Becauccio during the year. The Tuesday session is coordinated during the summer months by former police officer, Natalie Barlista.

Becauccio said that she enjoys helping people improve their English speaking skills and helping them understand the nuances of American culture.

“Even after living here for so long my English is still not as good as I would like it to be. It is important to me to be able to speak it better and this class is one of the things I do to keep busy. I have learned a lot,” Domingos said.

Becauccio, who also works at the Toms River Branch as a monitor, said becoming part of the English Conversation program was a natural extension of her devotion to the library. “I retired four years ago as an executive assistant at Bay Shore Hospital. I always loved the library and wanted to be a part of the wonderful atmosphere here. I have been part of the program for the last four years.”

Chunmei Chen works with Becauccio at the library. Chen attends the English Conversation classes to improve her English conversation skills and her knowledge of America. “I have learned a lot from Christine and the other volunteer instructors who coordinate the group,” Chen said.

Becauccio discussed historic American landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge during her June 29 program.

Alexandra Wong was among four young women who attended the day’s session and who recently traveled to America from the Guangdon and Jiangzi provinces of China.

“We came here as part of a work study program. We arrived on June 4 and stayed a week in New York City and then came to Toms River on June 14,” Wong said. She and her fellow travelers will soon experience working as volunteers at the library.

“We are very excited about this and helping people. We will learn even more by becoming volunteers,” Wong said.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

Man Injured in Animal AttackContact: Captain Todd Malland

Manchester Police Department (732) 657 – 2009 extension 4103Manchester Twp. NJ – On July 27, 2016 at approximately 5 PM, a 53 year old Johnson Avenue man, encountered, and was bitten several times by an aggressive animal believed to be a dog or a coyote in a wooded area near his residence while walking his German Shepard.

The encounter was reported to the Manchester Township Police by the Emergency Department of Ocean Medical Center in Brick approximately four hours after the incident occurred, when the victim was at the facility receiving treatment. The investigation revealed that the victim received several bites, cuts and lacerations to both arms from what he described as “a large brown aggressive dog” which he came upon in the woods. The victim reported that he was surprised by the presence of the animal and was attacked without any provocation. He was treated and released by the Emergency Department staff that night after receiving numerous stitches on both arms. There were no witnesses to the incident and although an extensive neighborhood canvas was conducted by members of the police department, no one reported seeing an animal matching the description in the area. A few residents, however, reported hearing what they believed to be coyote calls off in the distance in the past.

The incident is currently being investigated by Ptl. Kyle Rickvalsky along with the Manchester Township Animal Control Officer and representatives from the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife.

Because the investigation has not been able to definitively determine whether the victim was attacked by a dog or a coyote, the following public service announcement is being issued by the Manchester Township Police.

• Coyotes are now raising their pups and can be more territorial as they guard their mates, dens, pups and food sources. Here are some coyote safety tips to keep your family safe in the outdoors:

• Coyotes can be found in any open space, parks, neighborhoods and even commercial areas. As people and their pets spend more time outdoors, the possibility of a coyote encounter increases.

• Coyotes may try to escort you out of an area to protect their pups or food sources when you encounter them on a trail. Humans may perceive this behavior as stalking, which is usually not the case.

• They may also view your pet as prey.

• To let coyotes be wild while keeping yourself and pets safe, please follow these pointers:

Never feed coyotes—it is illegal to feed coyotes in most places. Feeding endangers your family and neighbors as it lures coyotes into neighborhoods. Keep unattended cats and dogs indoors or in completely enclosed runs, especially at night, and do not assume that a fence will keep a coyote out of your back yard. Accompany your leashed pet outside. Make sure you turn on lights if it is dark to check your back yard for unexpected wildlife. Keep dogs on short leashes while walking outside; the Division of Wildlife recommends a leash no longer than 6 feet. Leave noisemakers on hand to scare away coyotes that may enter your yard, such as whistles and horns. Don’t run away or turn your back on a coyote. Do not allow a coyote to get in between you and your pet or child—keep children close to you. Yell, clap hands, blow a whistle and try to make yourself look larger if you have a close encounter with a coyote.

Note where and when you have an encounter with a coyote. Coyotes often follow routines. Avoid this area in the future if the encounter was negative.
