By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – The aftershocks of the deadliest day for law enforcement in the United States since the September 11, 2001 attacks continue to be felt locally, as messages of support have flooded police departments. Responding to the July 7 attacks at a pro-test in Dallas were sentiments throughout Ocean County, many in prominent locations such as firehouse message display boards. In Barnegat, the township committee is-sued a Nixle alert saying ribbons of support were now being distributed. “We are devas-tated and appalled at the wanton slaughter of Police Officers in Dallas, Texas. It is blight on the very fabric of America. Please join

AFTER DALLAS, “WE GOT YOUR BACKS”the Township Committee members in offer-ing prayers for our fallen Heroes and their families,” said the committee in its public message. “Anyone choosing to join with us by displaying a Blue Ribbon as a symbol of our support and mourning for these fallen knights can contact the Mayor directly and you will be supplied with one at no charge. They can be worn on clothing, hung from car antennas, mailboxes, doors, etc.” Those interested can receive a ribbon the town clerk’s office in town hall, or by sending a self-addressed, stamped enve-lope, to Mayor John J. Novak/Blue Ribbon, Barnegat Township, 900 West Bay Avenue, Barnegat, NJ 08005. In Manchester, Ridgeway Vol. Fire. Co.’s

new programmable message board bore words of support for police and anyone who drove by the busy corridor of Route 571: “Brothers in Blue, We have your backs” A blue line, the symbol for a recent death, was part of the sign. Cassville Fire Company in Jackson had a similar message, “Jackson Police – We have your backs!” on its board. The Dallas shooting, which was at an otherwise peaceful protest of recent deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile by police in separate incidents, had one likely sniper who shot 12 police, five of whom died from the attack, and several others injured, according to reports. On July 11, Freehold hosted a candlelight

vigil to mourn, inviting the public to join the show of support. Toms River Police had an incident of their own recently. At 11:32 p.m. July 7, after responding to a suspicious vehicle on Cedar and Haines drives, the driver pulled a gun on the officers as he exited the vehicle. Po-lice spokesperson Ralph Stocco said police fired on the 29-year-old suspect as a result, as the man jumped over the nearby cement bulkhead on the dead-end street and fled. He was found an hour later with a gunshot wound, and transported by Toms River EMS for treatment. Stocco did not release the name of the suspect, any charges, or the names of the responding officers.

was ongoing. The comments stem from the escape of Arthur Buckel from the Ancora unit of Bayside State Prison in May. Buckel was spotted in Barnegat after breaking out of jail, prompting a massive, days-long search that eventually ended with his capture near the Forked River rest area on the Garden State Parkway. “Arthur Buckel was a state prisoner who escaped from a state prison, and the state Department of Corrections came here,” said Novak. “We opened up

our doors to them, whatever they need-ed – food, water, radio communications, telephones – Marty [Lisella] and I said, ‘If you need court records, tax records, our building is your building.’” Beyond that level of support, Novak said, resources began to become over-whelmed when school officials decided to keep schools open during the search. Novak and Police Chief Arthur Drexler became concerned about the safety of children who were walking home from school. They requested troopers to fol-low school buses under cover and man walking posts at intersections which students would be crossing after schools

let out. Police officials drew up maps outlining roads and walking routes, but by the time the school day was ending, no troopers had arrived. “Then we saw the troopers arrive – all two of them,” said Novak. Between the search itself and the ex-tra resources dedicated to protecting the students, Barnegat racked up an overtime bill of about $28,000. Novak requested the state Department of Corrections cover the cost, but in a letter to the township, the request was refused by an attorney who works for the department. “We said, ‘$28,000 doesn’t mean much

to you, but for us it means a lot of money. Help,’” said Novak. “We gave them every available police officer, every available unit.” Novak said the request was denied because, during the search, Barnegat en-tered into a mutual aid agreement with the state, effectively putting into place a measure where no party would hold the other responsible for costs incurred during the investigation. “When mutual aid is the reason why we have to eat $28,000, how about some mutual aid to protect the school children of Barnegat Township while a convicted child killer is on the loose,” Novak said.

part of today’s festivities. Adams said the focus is still on those tradi-tional 4-H fair activities, and in fact, many of those pursuits are seeing renewed interest. “We have gotten calls, asking if some of the years’ past elements would be coming back,” Adams said. Next year, when the fair turns 70, would be a great opportunity to incorporate much more fair history into the line-up. While the number of participants in the farm and animal demonstrations remain steady, Adams said this year the number of vendors has grown. “I think that’s a sign of the recovering economy.” In 1965, the fair was still at Ocean County Park in Lakewood, and was held over two days -- August 4 and 5 – compared to the five-day festival now at Miller Airpark in Berkeley. Adams shared the fair program book from 1965, on loan from the Ocean County Histor-ical Society in Toms River. The booster ads showcase many legacy and now long-gone businesses, or feature faces from Ocean County history – such as a message from Freeholder Robert J. Miller, now namesake of the airpark where the fair is held. “Tomorrow’s Leaders, Today” was the theme then. In its welcome message, the fair committee mentions the free admission and parking. Today, the parking is free but a $7 general admission is required each day of the fair, which spans July 13 to 17 this year. Adams said that the old programs now only show the fair’s history, but the fair’s own com-mitment to history. It’s a bit of a time capsule

showing the demonstrations and activities that were allowed then that just aren’t today. For example, there was once a division for folks who raised quail to exhibit their animals. These days, quail farming is a regulated activ-ity, which lead to that fair division becoming extinct. Same with the live animal auctions, such as the “fat lamb” auction or Blue Ribbon prized lamb auction, where 4-H members could auction off their prized stock. Or there’s the use of “Queen of the Fair” or “Princess” contests, when there is now the annual Fair Ambassador, for example. The 1965 program also mentioned the many other fair activities, such as the pie-eating contest and milk-drinking contest. On the first day of the fair, you could find a barbershop quartet contest or join the big square dance on the second day. Check out the fair’s chicken dinner for $1.50 and afterward enjoy the Ocean County String Band’s concert, billed as “The Happiest Music In The World.” “When you get into conversation with people about the fair, the memories come out of the person you are talking with. I hear so many stories of memories of the fair, many things I share, but always something unique that was important to that person,” said Adams. “Obviously it was a significant time while growing up. I want to be a part of that kid’s memory 20, 30 years from now. They don’t need to know me, they just need to remember the good time that was had.” He said a significant number of people ask if the fair would ever go back to its original location, in Ocean County Park, Lakewood. But he said the logistics are better at Miller Airpark, where the traffic lanes allow for less

gridlock and there is more access and ground to add rides that wouldn’t be possible at the Lakewood county park. Adams helps take the reins of the fair as a co-manager through the auspices of the county board of agriculture as the Meyer Family retires from the role as organizers. The Meyers, who ran the fair for more than 30 years through several generations, helped to bring their expertise as festival and carnival operators to that chapter of the fair’s history. Adams said the fair marries the 4-H exhibits with the carnival. There’s thrill rides and cot-ton candy but also prized rabbits and chickens. You can find a rock concert or a horse show going on at this year’s fair. “I think the goals over the years for the fair have been to make sure 4-H kids have a platform to showcase their work, provide fun and entertainment for all fair goers, represent the county, create an event that parents can share with their kids and also be a financially successful event for the Ocean County Board of Agriculture,” he said. Growing up enjoying the fair himself, what was Adams’ favorite things to do? “I am an animal person. I enjoy seeing the animals that the kids have raised and cared for during the year. You will always see a chicken, duck or rabbit breed that you have never seen before,” he said. On July 11, the tent displays were already up and the buzz of activity was well under-way as Adams and the planning committee was zipping around the yet-to-be-assembled fairgrounds via golf cart, tending to all the chores. Rides would arrive that evening, and vendors would set up the final touches on their

displays July 13 afternoon. “We have some old entertainment that is returning that has been popular, new acts like bull riding that I think will be well received. We made some changes in the ride area that will allow the ride vendor to bring in several more rides, some bigger and more variety,” he added. Special entertainment includes After the Reign and the Amish Outlaws musical acts, as well as a comedy hypnotist/magician. For a full schedule, see the fair’s website at oceancountyfair.com.

Summer has arrived! Whether you’re spending time by the Jersey Shore or by the local pool, the American Heart Associa-tion encourages families to be prepared for summer safety by learning cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, or CPR. Accidents, choking and drowning are leading causes of death in children. Every day, about 10 people die from unintentional drowning, according to the Centers for Disease Con-trol (CDC). Of these, two of the 10 are children aged 14 or younger. Learning CPR can help save lives in cases of drowning. CPR is also vital when sudden cardiac arrest – a leading cause of death in America – strikes without warning. Nearly 350,000 out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests occur an-nually, and 90 percent of people who suffer cardiac arrests outside a hospital

holidays on which it shall be mandatory to excuse a student,” includes the Hindu festivals of Guru Purnima, Naga Pancha-m i , Ra k sha Ba nd ha n , K r ishna Janmashtami, Ganesha Chaturthi, Onam, Navaratri, Duserra, Di-wali,Goverdhan Puja, Ma-kar Sankrant i, Pongal, Vasant Panchami, Maha Shivaratri, Holi, Chandra-mana Yugadi, Souramana Yugadi, Ramnavami and Hanuman Jayanti. We urged the Board in the past to add five festivals on the list, which are included on the list. This “List” is a step in the positive direction and we thank NJSBE and its President Mark W. Bierdon for being inclusive. We urge other 49 US states and District of Columbia to include all these 19 Hindu festivals on their lists of religious holidays permitting student absence from school. Hinduism is rich in festi-vals and festivals are very dear to Hindu families. Since families want to celebrate these festivals together along with their school going children, we do not want our children to be deprived of any privi-leges at the school because of thus resulting absences on these days. According to the NJSBE resolution: “Any student absent from school because of a religious holiday may not be deprived of any award or of eligibility or opportunity to compete for any award because of such absence,” “Students who miss a test or examination because of absence on a re-ligious holiday must be giv-en the right to take an alter-nate test or examination,” “Boards of education, at their discretion, may add other days to the list for the schools of their districts,” and “Any absence because of a religious holiday must be recorded…as an excused absence.”Rajan ZedPresident, Universal Society of Hinduism

If drones are used improp-erly, it could be a hazard and invasion of privacy. Nowhere in the June 4 let-ter, “Let Drones Fly,” is the word “responsibility” used. Flying over public events could be an invitation to in-juries and possible fatalities if a malfunction to the craft occurs and flying over res-idential areas has the same potential for disaster. The Academy of Mod-el Aeronautics’ National Model Aircraft Safety Code states “all pilots shall avoid f lying directly over un-protected people, vessels, vehicles or structures, and shall avoid endangerment of life and property of others.” Recently a drone flying over Leisure Village West crashed into a house. For-tunately there were no in-juries, but in violation of the safety code, no visible name, address or AMA number of the owner was affixed to the outside of the drone. The question that must be asked, why was it f lying over a residen-tial area? The drone was equipped with a camera and a GPS system leaving much room for conjecture as to the reason for being overhead. Accepted is the fact that drones may have a positive effect for some local compa-nies, but if used for profes-sional reasons, there should be insurance coverage, giv-en the fact the majority of drones are flown by ama-teurs who are flying without training, or insurance for if a minor flies the drone with-

Since Christie cut funding for these ser-vices in 2010, six women’s health clinics have closed and over a dozen others have cut hours, including Saturday hours which al-low working women to access affordable repro-ductive healthcare if they cannot take off work. FQHCs, or Federally Qualified Health Centers, are intended to provide healthcare to all regardless of income, yet they alone are not enough to support NJ women’s health needs, and sometimes refer wom-en to Planned Parenthood. I support Planned Parent-hood in their efforts to re-store funding to benefit NJ citizens’ health; in Ocean County alone, STI rates have risen nearly 50 per-cent since 2010’s funding was cut. In May, I called the of-f ice of Senator Samuel Thompson, the NJ District 12 Senator, asking to leave a message for the Senator to indicate constituent sup-port of the bill. I was hung up on by a staff member who claimed not to know a lot about the issue; he did not take my message.

Spotlight On Government

OCEAN COU NTY – Congressman Tom MacAr-thur announced that the Third Congressional Dis-trict will now be accepting applications for the U.S. House of Representative’s Wounded Warrior fellow-

CongressmanTom MacArthur

From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur: MacArthur Announces House

Wounded Warrior Fellowship Programship program. The position to be filled is a field representative for the Office of Congressman MacArthur. This individual would be responsible for fa-cilitating and coordinating responses to a wide range of requests from constituents, outreach to community organizations and working with existing staff on a wide range of issues. “As a representative of

over 65,000 veterans, I am excited about adding an-other veteran to my dis-trict staff. This is a great opportunity for one of our nation’s heroes to join our team and continue in their proud tradition of public service,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur. “I look forward to working with this Wounded Warrior to provide our district with the best possible constituent

services and I am grateful that our district was se-lected for this prestigious program.” The Wounded Warrior Program was established to create fellowships that provide employment oppor-tunities within the House of Representatives. The fellowships will provide veterans with experience and exposure to ultimately broaden their scope of tran-

sition opportunities. According to the Wounded Warrior Program, appli-cants must have served on active duty since September 11, 2001, and have a 30 per-cent or greater service-con-nected disability rating and less than 20 years of service. In addition to a current re-sume, applicants must sub-mit a copy of their DD214 and a VA letter confirming that they have at least a 30

percent service-connected disability rating. Applicants in New Jersey’s Third Congressional Dis-trict should visit cao.house.gov for more information. Submit a resume, a copy of the last DD214 issued (page 4) and a letter from the VA indicating a 30 percent or greater rating (not neces-sary if medically retired) to [email protected].

OCEAN COU NTY – An energy audit on half a dozen buildings owned and maintained by Ocean County government out-lines energy upgrades that could help save almost $1 million annually in energy costs. “This audit is very import-ant to us as we look at ways to reduce costs and improve our energy eff iciency,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liai-son to the Ocean County Department of Buildings and Grounds. “This audit comes with a number of beneficial suggestions that we will be considering for implementation.” The energy audit was un-dertaken by Ocean County through a program admin-istered by the state Board of Public Utilities. “This is the result of an exhaustive examination of six facilities that receive a lot of traffic both from the public and with our em-ployees,” Vicari said. “That is why they were chosen for this initial review.” The six facilities include the Ocean County Court-house, the Ocean County Administration Building, the Ocean County Jail, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, the Ocean County Justice Complex and the parking garage all in down-town Toms River.

County Hopes To Save $995G On 6 Buildings’ Energy Bills “These facilities total 1,022,775 square feet,” Vicari said. “They produce an annual energy bill of $2.3 million,” Vicari said. “A proposed $955,000 re-duction is a substantial de-crease in our energy bills.” Once the audit is approved by the BPU’s Off ice of Clean Energy, the county can move forward with the recommended cost effec-tive “self-funding” energy efficiency measures and facility upgrades that are designed to reduce operat-ing expenses, save energy and reduce emissions. “The improvements in-clude upgrades to the light-ing systems, automated controls for lighting, up-grades to existing heating and air conditioning sys-tems and some building im-provements,” Vicari said. “This audit is another step in the county’s ongoing efforts to conserve energy and to reap the benefits of renewable energy savings.” A combination of differ-ent recommendations was made for each building reviewed. For instance, the Ocean County Courthouse had the highest number – eight rec-ommendations – including installation of LED lights, installation of an energy management system that would control the heating and air conditioning tem-

peratures, replacement of the boiler, chiller and air handling units, variable frequency drive controls for the cooling tower to increase efficiency, instal-lation of a fan cooling unit controller and upgrading the domestic hot water heater. Under the program, Vicari said, costs for the improve-ments would be offset by incentives from the state which could total up to $502,000. And, he said, the money saved on energy could be reallocated to pay for addi-tional energy upgrades. The audit’s recommendations could reap a self-funding potential of $19.3 million and a reserve for modifica-tions and future projects of up to $4 million. “The audit listed at least five energy upgrade sug-gestions for the majority of the buildings reviewed,” Vicari said. Michael Fiure, director of the Ocean County Office of Management and Bud-get, said the BPU’s Clean Energy Program promotes increased energy efficiency and the use of clean, renew-able sources of energy.“We began this process in late 2014 to participate in the Local Government Energy Audit to identify cost-justif ied eff iciency measures,” he said. “This

audit wil l provide the Board of Freeholders with various energy alternatives that we can implement.” “I applaud Freeholder Vi-cari for overseeing this en-ergy audit,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, director of Law and Public Safety. “As we look at our future building needs, this information will be a help in making certain decisions on our energy needs allow-ing us to meet environmen-tal standards and our desire

to be affordable.” Over the course of several months, representatives from DCO Energy, Law-renceville, visited each county location noted in the audit and did a complete review of the buildings. “They looked at elec-tric and natural gas us-age, building architectural and engineering drawings, l ighting systems, heat-ing and air conditioning equipment and controls, roofs, windows, doorways,

occupancy schedules and maintenance practices,” Vicari said. Vicari said the county will review all measures presented for each facility along with funding oppor-tunities made available by the New Jersey Clean Energy Program. Vicari noted the county maintains about 135 build-ings that house government services and programs. “This audit is an important first step,” he said.

Vandalism:Continued From Page 1

Oyster Creek:Continued From Page 1

The vandalism-plagued playground, which has fallen into disrepair after it was built by volunteers working with grant funding, is due to a more formal upgrade project this year, when equipment will be replaced. When that project is carried out, it may include the addition of security cameras that will be linked to the police department.

company’s root-cause evaluation of the problem, any corrective actions and its assessment of whether the issue could have implications for any other aspects of plant operations,” said NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan. The finding stems from the failure of a 3-inch hose during a regular test on January 4, 2016. The hose supplies water from a storage tank to a pump and, in turn, to one of the plant’s two identical emergency diesel generators, Sheehan said in an e-mail. The water cools the generator when it is in operation. “The emergency diesel generators serve an important safety function by providing power to key plant safety systems in the event that electricity to the plant from the grid is interrupted,” Sheehan said.

“If you had cameras there, I think you would know who was going in there to vandalize,” said Committeewoman Susan McCabe. McCabe said security cameras had been discussed for parks and playgrounds in the past, but have never been installed due to their cost. “We have not really ever had the resourc-es to be able to afford them in the past, although we’ve long-since realized that it’s almost impossible to patrol that area 24-7,”

said McCabe, referring specifically to the Project Playground site, which is located in a wooded area adjacent to Barnegat Town-ship High School. “Once we rebuild Project Playground in the fall, it’s my hope there will be enough left in the funds to be able to install security cameras in the location so police would have access to that data to keep a closer eye on the property.” McCabe said the preference of township officials would be cameras linked live to the police department, however if the

funding is not available to install such an advanced system, cameras that record to a hard drive would be used. “We will try to control some of the vandal-ism that’s going on there,” she said. According to Township Administrator Martin Lisella, all of the township’s parks will receive some upgrades this fall, mainly landscaping maintenance, the removal of weeds, and a sprucing up of equipment, such as removing rust and sanding wooden surfaces.

According to a report, an NRC probe into the incident found Exelon “did not have appropriate work instructions to replace the emergency diesel generator cooling flexible coupling hoses every 12 years as specified by the company’s procedures and vendor information.” As a result, the hose that failed had been in service for approximately 22 years and subjected to thermal degradation and aging that eventually led to its failure, the report said. The emergency diesel genera-tor to which it supplied cooling water was determined to be inoperable for a period greater than the seven day period allowed in technical specifications. Exelon accepted the inspection finding without requesting a Regulatory Confer-ence to provide further information and without submitting a written response. The NRC report said the agency would conduct a supplemental inspection of the plant in the future.

Smart Phone Connectivity Technology offers all of us the op-portunity to do amazing things every day that would have been unimag-inable even 10 years ago. The advent and popularity of smartphones, such as the iPhone, has made our lives more convenient to the world around us than it has ever been. Our goal is to allow us an opportu-nity to connect people to the world around them in ways they may have forgotten, or never known in the first place; using the most advanced hearing technology available. Sev-eral hearing aid manufacturers including GN Resound and Starkey have developed hearing instruments which are iPhone compatible. What do patients like the most about this interactive breakthrough in hearing technology? Here’s what we’ve gathered: The ability to stream phone calls,

music, videos, FaceTime calls, and Siri from you cell phone straight to your hearing aids. The ability to make subtle adjust-ments for environmental changes with the touch of a finger, and that your iPhone remembers those set-tings, so the next time you return to your favorite places, you won’t need to make the same adjustments. The ability to use your iPhone as an additional microphone during conversations-place it on a table at a busy restaurant and connect with friends, family, and other loved ones more clearly. The ability to use your iPhone as a detector to find lost or misplaced hearing aids…GPS The convenience of all of these features in one handheld, easy-to-use device that you already carry with you.

OCEAN COUNTY – Water activities are an enjoyable way to stay cool during the hot weather over the summer. It’s important for the public to use common water safety guide-lines in order to stay safe while in the water. Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, liaison to the Ocean County Department of Business De-velopment and Tourism, said water-related activities are a key part of the county’s $4.6 billion tourism industry. “People come to Ocean County because of our beautiful ocean, bays, rivers and lakes,” Vicari said. “We encourage everyone to enjoy the water, but please follow these simple tips to ensure a safe and fun summer season.” Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health De-partment (OCHD) public health coordinator, said, “As much fun as we can have enjoying our beaches and water activities, it is import-ant to watch out for Mother Nature. You want to look out for signs warning that the water you swim in is not clean as polluted water can make you sick. Teach kids not to swallow water; anytime. Also make sure to keep clear of objects in the water like water plants and animals. We have all heard of the “stinging” jellyfish, which you want to beware of. The

Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org, offers tips, right on its home page, on what to do if stung by this type of jellyfish.” Regenye offers some tips for water enthu-siasts: Those planning on entering the water should learn to swim. Make sure to take a friend along when swimming or boating. Watch out for the “too’s” – too tired, too cold, too far from safety, too much sun and too much activity. Make sure to swim where a lifeguard is present and follow all signs and warnings. Be sure to wear a life jacket when boating. Stay alert to the currents. If caught in a cur-rent, don’t fight it. Swim parallel to the shore until the current has been cleared. Keep an eye on the weather. Summer storms pop up quickly. Don’t mess around in the water. Don’t dive into shallow water. Know the depth before diving in. Visit the Ocean County Health Department’s website at ochd.org or follow the Health De-partment on Twitter@OCpublichealth.

Why You Shouldn’t Eat Leftovers Or Fermented Foods

Many of you are eating fermented foods and drinking kombucha under the advice of well-meaning practitioners, bloggers or magazine articles you’ve read. If you have any autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s, Graves’ disease), or have hypothyroidism, insomnia, gastrointesti-nal disorders, chronic pain, panic attacks, fatigue, depression, anxiety, chronic headaches, skin rashes or brain fog, your miserable symptoms could be coming from what’s on your plate. Fermented foods are, by definition, a food that is undergoing the process of turning into alcohol through the use of yeast, bac-teria, fungus (mold) or enzymes that break down the food. It’s food that’s starting to rot a little, right? For example, it’s milk that’s starting to rot and turn into cheese. Tofu is fermented soy and sauerkraut is fermented cabbage. Grapes become alcohol.. Ferment a sausage and you’ll get salami. As you read this today, I want you to ask yourself:Do I react well or badly after eating cheese, cold cuts, yogurt or any fermented food, including tofu and leftovers. Do I react well after drinking wine, soy milk or kombucha? Did you know one of the top reasons for migraines is fermented foods? The logic in recommendations to restore friendly gut bacteria to your microbiome is important, it’s essential. I’m all for a healthy gut. I’ve been an advocate for probiotic supplemen-tation for two decades, before it became vogue. But the tight junctions in your gut

aren’t really closing up after you eat tofu or drink vinegar (kombucha), and if it is happening, your zonulin levels should come down. Feel free to send me a study that proves that. Fermented foods may cause uncom-fortable side effects for some of you like bloating, flatulence, belching, headaches, palpitations, itchiness and rashes. Fer-mented foods and drinks are very high in histamine. Eating high-histamine foods can cause histamine levels to skyrocket within minutes and it will accumulate to a sickening level if you cannot break it down fast enough and it accumulates. Throw out leftovers because they are high in histamine. The Internet is a black hole of bad information. So because fermented foods are high in histamine, I say to avoid them if you have an autoimmune disorder. Now, I’m not trying to take all your fun away. I know you love some of those foods. I’m not saying they are bad for all of you. But all of you who eat fermented foods or drink fermented drinks know who you are…you are still the ones who are miserable with plaguing symptoms, and if you trace it back in your mind, there may be a correlation to what you are eating and drinking. This is what I want you to think about and if you have the mind clarity, keep a food diary and see if you can track flare-ups to fermented foods. If you sign up for my free newsletter, I’ll send you an email with a longer version of this article, and a list of foods that are high in histamine.

TOMS RIVER – Two Ocean County Vocational Technical School students were named the inaugural recipients of the Hard Hat Hunter Scholarship at recent OCVTS graduation ceremonies. Ryan T. Simoes, an OCVTS welding student from New Egypt, and Robert Conway, an OCVTS new home construction student from Brick, were rec-ognized for their outstanding work ethic and

Hard Hat Hunter Presents Scholarships To OCVTS Graduatesaccomplishments while completing their programs of study. Hard Hat Hunter is an online platform specifically geared to those who work within the trades and construction sectors. It allows companies and members of the industry to profile skillsets, highlight accomplishments and connect with other professionals. It focuses on facilitating the connection of

skilled labor with industry. Additionally, it provides access to safety resources, articles and sector-related news. Based in Canada, Hard Hat Hunters launched their presence in New Jersey in May when key members of the team visited several Ocean County Vocational Technical School campuses that offer construction trade-related programs. A meeting with

the construction trade instructors provided valuable learning tools on the website, which can be integrated into curriculum. OCVTS students and graduates can create a profile on the Hard Hat Hunters website, hardhathunters.com, which includes edu-cation, training and skills; work experience; photos of projects as well as personal inter-ests. Hard Hat Hunters members can connect with other professionals, companies and in-dustry leaders for employment opportunities, sharing of information and continuous feed of construction-related articles and news. Ocean County Vocational Technical School strives to incorporate partnerships and networking opportunities that provide students with valuable resources well beyond graduation.

WEST CREEK – Interfaith Health & Sup-port Services, in collaboration with South-ern Ocean Medical Center, will sponsor a monthly support group titled “Working Caregivers: Taking Care of Yourself and Others.” This group is for people who have a loved one suffering with early dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, MS, cancer or other disabling diseases. Learn about coping skills, talk with some-one who knows what it’s like and find out community resources that are available to help out. The support group also provides a light dinner and meets on the third Thurs-day of each month from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The group will meet at the Family Resource Center at Meridian Fitness and Wellness, 700 Route 9 South. For more information and to register, call 609-978-3839.

BEACH HAVEN – Dr. Amy Williams is presenting “Dunes and Surges” at the Beach Haven public library on July 20, starting at 1 p.m. The presentation will focus on the impor-tance of dune design for coastal resiliency. The New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium and its partners invite coastal community mem-bers to attend this program on the importance of ecologically functioning dune systems to mitigate the impacts of coastal storms. By un-derstanding the concept of surge, sea level rise and resiliency, individuals can better prepare for the future, and also have more ability to act when coast threats occur. The presentation is available online at njseagrant.org.

We Can Assist You With Your Land Use Application After

You Have Received Approval

R.C. Shea & Assoc. Inside The Law

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.732-505-1212 ● RCSHEA.COM

Previous articles reviewed the land use appli-cation submission and presentation process; this article will review what is required to be performed after an approval is obtained. The memorialized approval is placed in written form called a Resolution. Part of the Resolution out-lines the Condition of Approval, which acts as a checklist of the items that must be submitted to zoning and engineering prior to obtaining con-struction permits. Satisfying those conditions is called Resolution Compliance. Once an applicant receives the Resolution of approval, the first requirement is to prepare and publish a Notice of Decision. This provides a general notice in the official newspaper as to the details of the approval received. Proof of this publication must be provided to the board secretary. Contained within the Resolution may also be requirements for various legal documents. Examples of these documents are: Lot Consol-idation Deeds, which consolidate various lots owned by the applicant under one lot number; Cross-Access Agreements, which will allow neighboring businesses or residents to utilize a common driveway or parking area; and Ease-ments, which earmark certain portions of the property for access by other agencies to maintain or service utility structures or equipment which may be on the property, or may identify portions of the property that are to be undeveloped to preserve the environment or ensure visibility at an intersection. Of course, this is not a comprehensive list, and what is required depends on the specific reliefs granted in the applicant’s approval. What is con-sistent throughout the process is that these are le-gal documents requiring the attachment of legal descriptions and reduced plans, requiring review

and approval of the Board professionals and, in some cases, the documents must be recorded with the County Clerk. Cer-tainly, the preparation of these documents is best performed by a qualified land use attorney. Additionally, the Resolution may require plan revisions, payment of additional fees and escrows and approvals from outside agencies. Those agencies may be other local agencies, such as local sewerage, utility and municipal authorities; County agencies, such as Planning Board and Soil Conservation; and/or state agencies, such as NJDOT and NJDEP. Again, each applicant requires a combination of vary-ing approvals. This office can coordinate the receipt of those approvals and prepare a final submission to the local land use board to successfully complete Resolu-tion Compliance. Receiving Resolution Compliance approval will then allow the applicant to construct their proposed project. As can be seen from the information above, the perfection of a land use appli-cation approval before a Land Use Board requires an understanding of the MLUL and legal experience. The attorneys at the Law Office of R.C. Shea and Associates can assist to make this process stress free. Look for future articles on the Land Use Process which will review the compo-nents of a resolution and the post-approval compliance procedures.

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County residents who need to get rid of household hazardous waste, like pool chemicals and pesticides, can do so at any of the next five collection dates announced by the Board of Freeholders. “We will have five additional collection dates beginning with July 16 in Plumsted Township,” said Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management. “Our residents can attend any of the five collection sites. Making the program accessible and conve-nient makes it successful.” Last year, the county collected 271,842 pounds of household hazardous waste at a cost of $107,921. The program is funded in part by State Recycling Enhancement Act Tax Fund. “This free program, which got started in 1989, provides an avenue to get rid of items like paints, paint thinner and cleaners, prop-erly and safely, keeping the material from entering our waterways and our preserved lands,” Little said. The program runs about once a month beginning in April until October and is held at different collection sites throughout the county. Three collections were already held earlier in the year. “Collections are held in towns, both large and small, and citizens in any Ocean County town can attend any site,” Little said. The dates, times and locations for the five upcoming collections are: July 16, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Plumsted Township Municipal Building, 121 New Egypt Al-lentown Road; August 13, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Brick Township Public Works Yard, 836 Ridge Road; August 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Lacey Township Recycling Center, 820 Municipal Lane; September 24, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Beachwood Municipal Complex,

1600 Pinewald Road and October 8, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Ship Bottom Municipal Boat Ramp, Shore Avenue and 10th Street. While the program is free, registration is required. To register for the collection sites in Plumsted and Brick townships, call 732-367-0802; for the Lacey Township and Beachwood site, call 732-506-5047 and for Ship Bottom, call 609-978-0913. “This continues to be a very popular pro-gram with Ocean County residents,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly. “I am happy we continue to offer this program on an annual basis. It provides benefits to not just our citizens, but also the environment.” Municipal recycling centers and the coun-ty’s recycling centers also allow for the drop off of a host of materials including used paint, motor oil and car batteries. “Our residents should check with us or their local recycling center to determine what is accepted year-round eliminating the need to store these products in their home for extended periods of time,” Little said. Residents can drop off a maximum of 200 pounds of dry material and 20 gallons of liquid at the county’s household hazardous waste collection sites. No containers over five gallons will be accepted. Materials accepted at the household haz-ardous waste collection sites are: paints, thinners, boat paints, solvents, pool chemi-cals, pesticides and herbicides, aerosol cans, auto products, toilet and drain cleaners, silver polishes, oven cleaners, photographic chem-icals, rug and upholstery cleaners, polishes and bleaches, waste oil and used gasoline. The five collection dates will be serviced by Radiac Environmental Services at a cost of 45 cents a pound. Additional recycling information can be found on the county website at co.ocean.nj.us or by calling 800-55-RECYCLE.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566. “Home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nurs-ing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”

Dear Joel I am seriously overweight. As a 43 year-old woman, I can’t believe what I have done to myself. When I was younger I had a beautiful body and now look like an inf lated balloon. My husband doesn’t seem to mind but I walk around feeling embar rassed with the way I look. I no longer look good in anything; new clothes that I buy do nothing to change my situa-tion. What can I do?

Answer: When we are in situations such as yours, we have a tendency to feel sorry for ourselves rather than do anything about it. You have choices to make. You can either go on feeling badly about yourself or take control of your situation. I must remind you that when I write this column I am simply a friend to my readers. I am neither a doctor or have formal train-ing in mental health. That being said it is important to me that you see a physician about your condition. You may be at risk for heart disease and diabetes. Both are at epidemic pro-portions in our country. As you may know, most diets fail. I do, however, have faith in two orga-nizations for people such as yourself

and so many o t h e r s w h o s u f fe r w i t h you. Weight Watchers (of which I am a member) does a fantastic job of helping people who have weight challenges. Another organization is Overeaters Anony-mous. These are inexpensive ways of working toward having a happier life. You may want to visit either as a guest. Weight Watchers has a philos-ophy of changing one’s lifestyle with a benefit of weight reduction. I am not a believer in starting exer-cise and diet at the same time. I feel that your chances of sticking with both are greater if you start either one a month or two apart. Lastly, as I’m sure you are aware, this is a chicken-and-egg story. It may be that you are unhappy or de-pressed and use your obesity as a way of expressing it. In other words, it is the opposite of what you describe. I wish you well.

Professional ProfileBy Robert D. Verderese

The first thing you will notice upon meeting Joel Markel, President and owner of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services, a home health care agency, is his friendly and soothing demeanor. The cadence of his voice reveals a compassion that is as genuine as it is heart-felt. In a business which con-cerns itself with traumatic family sit-uations, Joel’s caring bedside man-ner seems all-the-more important. Indeed, the company motto, “Home Health Care with Feeling,” is not just a catchy sales pitch but rather the core of the business ethos—born out of a series of family tragedies which ultimately manifested in Joel a profound and compelling empathy. Joel’s misfortunes commenced when he was about 35 years old with the news that his widowed sis-ter Helen had been diagnosed with terminal skin cancer. Consequently, Markel and his wife Stephanie took Helen and her two young sons into their home. “We could not find a home health care agency that pro-vided the full-time care my sister required’’, Markel recollected. “On top of that, my sister lamented over never seeing the same person twice. This did not comfort her.” A short time after this cancer reared its ugly head again when their son Ryan was born with pedi-atric cancer. “Nurses who were pediat-ric specialists and willing to care for Ryan at home were extremely hard to come by,” Markel recalls. “And all of the nurses were reluctant to treat Ryan by virtue of how sick he was.” During this trying time, Markel learned a lot about home health care agencies. He learned that most were very limited in terms of the care that was provided. Most only provided services for geriatric care; with very few providing care for children and fewer still for both the old and the young. He also discovered that there were almost no nurses who were qualified to care for patients who were severely sick. “The care that was available at this time was not adequate for us,” Markel recounts. “My wife and I realized that virtually all health care agencies were defi-cient both from a professional and emotional standpoint.” Tragically, Joel Markel’s sister Hel-en died shortly after his son Ryan was born and Ryan—who had acute complications from birth—passed at 11 months of age. As a result of these tribulations, Markel’s heart—although filled with grief— began to orient itself in a more empathetic sphere. “I longed to talk with parents

Preferred Home Healthcare & Nursing Services

who lost children. I wanted to help them with their pain and in turn for them to help me. I wanted to comfort them and for them to comfort me—I needed some kind of support!” Markel reminisced with unbridled passion. Teeming with empathy, Markel resolved to start a support group for fathers who lost children. This under-

taking, however, quickly revealed itself to be one of futility insofar as fathers had no desire communicat-ing their losses to one another. This harrowing time in Markel’s life he aptly described as his ‘Book of Job’ time. Nevertheless, it was this dark period which shed light on the significance of quality home health care in people’s lives. “I started re-ally contemplating the possibility of running a home health care agency,” Markel reflected. This contempla-tion became a reality when—after reading in The New York Times that a home health care agency in central New Jersey was for sale—Markel shortly after bought the company with the intent of dedicating all his efforts to providing comprehensive home health care ‘with feeling’ to people in the greatest need. Servicing New Jersey and Penn-sylvania, Markel’s vision of providing superior home health care with an emotional touch has been fully actualized by Preferred: “We foster a culture of emotional connectivity here. It is essential for our caregiv-ers to assume a familial role for the people they take care of,” Markel

explains. To be sure, at Preferred, caregivers provide an important social connection for their patients as well as an outlet to social activi-ties—with transportation to adult day care or simply having company or professional assistance for a walk in the neighborhood. Preferred Home Health Care’s success Markel attributes almost

exclusively to its ten-et: “Home Health Care with Feeling.” He believes it’s that emphasis on com-passion for others which has sustained the agency for more than 25 years. “We care for people and are committed to helping as many

people in need of quality home health care as possible” says Markel. Preferred services include care for infants, babies, adults and seniors, tailored to meet each pa-tient’s specific needs. The agency provides around-the-clock or hour-ly service, with either medical or non-medical assistance available. Whether it is 24 hour service from a registered nurse or 3 hour a day care from a home health aide, the com-pany’s underlying mission remains sin-gular—to treat each patient like family in the comfort of their home, (rather than living in a hospital) promoting indepen-dence and dignity for an optimal quality of life. “Every caregiver at Preferred must have a bona fide passion for the work they do,” Markel expresses. “It’s not just a preference,

it’s a prerequisite,” he continues. Although hiring caregivers who are passionate is paramount at Preferred, other more tangible qualifications are important as well. For instance, all of the caregivers that work for the agency are fully licensed, bonded and insured, and are subject to a thorough screening and vetting process. Indeed, it is this fusion of ‘passion’ and ‘quality’ which really distinguishes Preferred from its competitors and serves as the principal impetus for the company’s long-standing success. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses also figure promi-nently within Preferred Home Health Care’s family of professionals. For more than 20 years, these highly skilled caregivers provide state-of-the-art services and technology to their patients. In addition, the clinical professionals at Preferred teach patients and their families how to manage their illnesses or injuries and explain post-treat-ment home care needs, such as: diet, nutrition, exercise programs and self-administration of medication. The RNs

and LPNs at Preferred are also instrumental in establishing a care plan or contribute to an existing plan developed by the patient’s doctor. When Joel Markel bought Pre-ferred, over 20 years ago, he could never have envisioned the compa-ny’s current status as a multi-facet-ed, premiere health care agency. By surrounding himself with good, smart, highly qualified people who shared his ‘philosophy of care,’ Markel set out to create a health care agency that went far beyond its tra-ditional confines. For instance, more than half of the agency’s patients are children who have serious medical conditions. These children are cared for by RNs with specialized pediatric expertise which is second-to-none, who provide the most advanced, integrated and extensive services available. Preferred also provides individual care for children while at school, assisting with bus trans-portation, fieldtrips and providing a clinical eye that is as vigilant as it is consequential. To say that Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services was born out of tragedy is as true as the changing seasons. The idea to start the business began with Markel’s difficulty of not being able to find quality home health care for both his terminally sick sister and seriously ill son, and tragically culminating with their respective deaths. But it was this dark experience which made Markel aware of the importance of compre-hensive home health care and which ultimately motivated him to create Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services—home health care ‘with feeling.’ You can reach Preferred anytime via preferredcares.com or by calling 800-603-CARE (2273).

Wolfgang Puck’s kitchen

By Wolfgang Puck Exactly 22 years ago, I was invited to create the food for the premiere party of a blockbuster summer film unlike anything the movie-going public had ever seen. No, it didn’t feature spaceships flying through the galaxy or dinosaurs run amok. It was just the story of a simple man who lived an extraordinary life - a life he summed up by comparing it to a box of chocolates. Yes, that movie was “Forrest Gump.” And the extraordinary lead performance by Tom Hanks went on to win him his second Oscar, after taking one home the year before for “Philadelphia.” For that event, the studio asked me to make a special seafood dish with South-east Asian influences. I’m not sure what led them to such a request, though I do know that the first Thai restaurants had begun opening in Los Angeles only two decades before, and they were still con-sidered something new and hip. Whatev-er the reason, I decided to come up with a Thai-style preparation for mussels, a dish full of exciting flavors that my chefs and I could prepare quickly and easily so we could send out fresh batch after batch to the large gathering. Considering how exotic Thai seasonings seem to most people, even today, though the cuisine is certainly almost as familiar now as Chinese, you might have stopped and wondered when I described that dish as being quick and easy. It really is. The real barrier people have to preparing Thai Curried Mussels, the recipe I made for the premiere and share here, is not that it requires any special equipment or tech-niques; it’s simply that the ingredients aren’t commonly found in the pantries of most home kitchens in America. That doesn’t have to be the case any-more. In almost any good-sized city, and many small towns as well, you can now find ethnic Southeast Asian markets. Many well-stocked supermarkets every-where also carry a surprising number of ingredients from the Thai kitchen, including those I call for in this recipe, including bright, zesty-tasting kaffir lime leaves and fresh lemongrass, spicy Thai chiles and Thai curry powder. And you can also find and purchase them online. Add fresh mussels that you buy the same day you’ll cook them, and keep them fresh and cold in your refrigerator. Scrub thoroughly under cold running water, pull off the “beards” at their hinges, and you’re ready to have this dish ready to serve (as an appetizer for four people or a main dish for two) in well under half an hour of cooking time. And who knows? Your new dish may win you a special award from your family and friends!

8 scallions, root ends trimmed, 4 left whole, 4 finely chopped1/4 cup (60 mL) peanut oil, plus extra for serving1 large kaffir lime leaf, crushed, or 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest1-inch (2.5-m) piece fresh ginger, pref-erably young, finely chopped, about 1 1/2 tablespoons1 stalk fresh lemongrass, bottom 4 inch-es (10 cm) smashed and split lengthwise2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped3 fresh Thai green chiles, or other small hot fresh green or red chiles1 heaping teaspoon Thai red curry powder 1 heaping teaspoon ground turmeric 1/3 cup (85 mL) unseasoned rice vinegar 1/2 cup (125 mL) good-quality canned tomato sauce2 pounds (1 kg) large, fresh mussels, such as green-lipped variety (about 16 large mussels), thoroughly scrubbed and debearded1/2 cup (125 mL) water, plus more as needed2 to 3 teaspoons granulated sugar About 2 1/4 cups (560 mL) steamed rice4 small sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish Fill a large bowl with water and ice. Cut off the tops of 4 of the scallions to get pieces about 5 inches long. Cut through the green tops lengthwise 2 or 3 times to form strips attached to the base. Place in the ice water and refrigerate. Heat the oil in a large wide pan over high heat. Add the chopped scallion, kaffir lime leaf (or lime zest), ginger, lemongrass, garlic and chiles. Saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the curry powder and turmeric; stir to combine. Immediately stir in the vinegar to deglaze the pan. Add the tomato sauce, and stir well to combine it with the other ingredients. Add the mussels and stir well to combine them with the sauce. Stir in the water to bring the sauce to a consistency that coats the mussels even-ly. Sprinkle in the sugar, cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cook 8 to 10 minutes until all the mussels have opened, adding more water as necessary to keep them steaming. Discard any unopened mussels. Pull open the shells a bit more and arrange the cooked mussels on a plat-ter or in a large, shallow bowl. Spoon some sauce over them. Garnish with the drained scallion brushes. Drizzle with peanut oil. Serve with steamed rice, top with the remaining sauce and garnish with cilantro.

Be mindful of the feelings of others. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Intelligence has impact. Your ideas and words can incite a heated discussion or comfortable conversation as this week unfolds. Social situations might cause you some confusion when you are pulled two ways. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Place business and pleasure at opposite ends of the spectrum in the week to come. Attempts to gain the upper hand in business through social maneuvering could backfire. Focus your energy on creative outlets. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get ahead of the game.
