Pookie Pookie is a 7 1/2 yr old shih tzu who was recently surrendered to our shelter when his owners were moving and could not take him along. Unfortunately, there was a language barrier and we could not get much information from Pookies owners. He seems fine with other small dogs, unsure about cats thus far. He keeps his kennel quite clean so he does appear housebroken, though we cannot guarantee it. We did manage to find out he is not good with children so we are looking for an adult only home. He is a happy little guy who we know will be scooped up soon so please hurry in!

Rita Rita is a beautiful 5 year old tortie who is initially shy with strangers but she responds to a soft approach. Once she feels secure with you she will show you her true self, a sweet but timid little lady who wants and needs quiet reassurance and affection. With some gentle coaxing, she will be your friend for life. We have found Rita to be uncomfortable around other cats so she would do best as an only pet. If sweet and gentle sounds good to you, come in to meet Rita today. She’s waiting patiently for her own forever family.

June 10th, 2016 The Ocean County Gazette - www.ocgazette.news 9 DO YOU HAVE YOUR HEAT-WAVE PLAN READY?

“Now’s the time to plan ahead for hot and muggy days,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “Heat ranks among the top weather-related killers in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).” Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator, said, “As summer approaches, forecasters say to expect an increase in temperature and longer and more frequent periods of extreme heat. Our bodies have less chance to recover during hot days and warm nights, placing everyone at risk for heat illness. When temperatures and humidity are high, sweat ceases to evaporate and the body’s natural cooling system slows down or shuts down completely. Very hot weather can cause heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and severe respiratory conditions, which can be fatal.” Regenye added, “Extreme heat especially endangers seniors, young children, people with disabilities, and individuals with breathing conditions and other chronic medical conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and other respiratory and cardiovascular problems. Those without air-conditioning, fans, or access to cooling shelters are also at risk.”

Some hot weather tips include: • Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay informed. • Drink plenty of fluids regardless of your level of activity even if you are not thirsty. Drink between 2-4 cups per hour while working outside. Avoid sugary, caffeinated, and alcoholic drinks. • Limit sun exposure from 11 a.m.- 5 p.m., and try to schedule outdoor activities in the early morning. • Dress yourself and your children in loose, light-weight, THREE-YEAR ACCREDITATION light-colored clothing that covers the skin.

Dr. Norman D. Hungerford to Be Honored at 41st Annual Garden Party RUMSON - Monmouth County Historical Association’s 41st Annual Garden Party will be held from 5-8pm on Sunday, June 26 at a private Rumson residence. It is with pleasure that we announce that Trustee Dr. Norman D. Hungerford will be our honoree this year for his support of historic preservation throughout Monmouth County. Norman has served on the Board of Trustees for the past 8 years and has been an active member, to say the least, of its Buildings and Grounds committee. Norman has not only had vision for each of the properties, but has then gone on to oversee the projects to their completion, often using many of his own resources. Norman’s commitment to assisting charitable organizations in Monmouth County is impressive. He has been involved with each of the Visiting Nurse Association of Central New Jersey’s “Stately Homes By-The-Sea” show house events. The Quaker Meeting House, the Borough of Shrewsbury, the Shrewsbury Garden Club, the Monmouth Reform Temple, Rumson Country Day School and Isles are just a few of the beneficiaries of Norman’s expertise and services over the years.

In announcing the honoree, President Linda Bricker stated “we are grateful Dr. Hungerford’s tireless work on behalf of the Association and his support has made our historic properties flourish. His dedication, generosity and commitment to history and historic preservation are truly deserving of this honor.”

Tickets start at $125 with additional underwriting and sponsorship available. To purchase tickets or for more information, visit www.monmouthhistory.org or call 732-462-1466 x.19.

Hello all! I am sending this out because some of you expressed interest in my upcoming show that I and my brother Paul (both SAL members) are involved in – the historical musical “1776” which covers the approximate two months leading up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the mistrials of the cause John Adams took to get it ratified. We open a week from Friday and run three weekends. Please follow the link below to http://www.playhouse22.org for tickets. The dates are June 10th-26th...Friday, Saturday evenings at 8pm and Sunday afternoons at 3pm (the Sunday dates are almost sold out, so if you were thinking a Sunday, you should get your tickets soon!)

I am very proud of this production and am delighted to perform on stage with my brother Paul. I play the Scottish Delegate from Delaware, Col. Thomas McKean and Paul plays Thomas Jefferson.

I hope you can come see us! If you have any questions or need simple directions to the theater, you can direct them to me via email here or by phone: 609-273-1409.
