Jackson Retiree Regales Tales Of Police Life
By Jennifer Peacock Call him White Malik. In his storied 38-year career as a police officer, a “street cop,” he not only earned commendation upon commendation but earned the trust and respect of Newark’s black community that helped him solve dozens upon dozens of murders. Retired for 16 years now, that’s a message he wants to share with law enforcement and the public today. “I’m trying to bring a message out here for the police that are out here now, because it’s a tough job. I don’t know why it’s all about racism,” the policeman said. How did he do it? He was White Malik,
and people would talk, to him alone. But before that, he was simply Louis Portella Jr., the youngest of 4 and only son, “King Louis,” in an Italian American family who grew up in an Irish, Italian, and Polish section of Newark. He lasted nine days at the University of West Virginia on a football scholarship ‑‑ he missed home. (“You have to understand something about Italian culture. I had four mothers,” he said.)

New Spray Park Open Weekends
By Catherine Galioto JACKSON – The newest edition to the township park system welcomes some romping around under its water hoses and sprays, as the Jackson Spray Park will open Ju ne 18 at the Just ice Complex. The township announced the park will only be open on weekends at this time, making the hours of operation Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The reason behind the weekend-only hours was to gauge demand before opening to expanded hours, officials said. “Since this is a new endeavor for Jackson Township, we want to ensure the demand prior to scheduling additional staff,” said township administ rator Helene Schlegel. “Once we determine the spray park’s level of success, we will re-evaluate the hours of operation.” Rules include: the park is open only to children 12 and younger, who must have adult supervision at all times. Bathing suits must be worn when in the Spray Park, and only individuals and families, not groups, are allowed to use the park. Diapers must be covered by swim diapers. Violation of any of the 25 rules should be reported to Department of Recreation. Violators may receive up to a $300 fine and 30 days community service. A complete list of rules is available on the township website and on-site at the park. The park is open to the public, not just Jackson residents. There is no fee to use the park. The sports-themed spray park is unguarded; it contains timed sprays and fountains and no pools or slides.

A PUSH FOR TINY HOMES TO REPLACE TENT CITY
By Shawn Smith OCEAN COUNTY – More than a year after the closing of the Tent City in Lakewood, some residents have begun a smaller community in Howell. While some people are living off the land, one woman is working toward bringing “tiny homes” to New Jersey. Sherry Rubel, a local photographer, documented life at the Tent City in Lakewood for over four years, in an exhibition now on display at the Ocean County Artists Guild. While documenting Tent City, she saw firsthand the effects of homelessness, and that was where the idea for “tiny homes” was born. In 2014, Rubel met with State Sen. Stephen Sweeney and came up with bill S2110, the “Tiny Home” pilot program, which was reintroduced this year. The legislation is part of a larger, three-part program Rubel is hoping to develop, called the Revival Village Project. The first part of the project is to give homeless a place to go. “We want to get them off of the street, out of the woods and out from under the bridges,” Rubel said. “Let them transition back into the broader community.” After an evaluation, the second phase is to move into a small village of “tiny homes.” While there, participants of the program begin to transition into the community through the arts, as well as getting hands on work experience. “A lot of people who hear the legislation think of manufactured homes. I take it a step further by incorporating elements like solar panels and maybe composting toilets,” Rubel
said. “It can be a whole lesson in sustainability. We want these people to build the homes themselves.” The final part of the program is a “tiny home” community, a larger dwelling that could qualify for affordable housing, she said. The issue is finding a location where the homes can be built. “Really what it takes is a municipality with extra land, lots or land, and is willing to allow them to be created,” Rubel said. “But it doesn’t seem like many people are really interested in resolving the problem. If they are … why does the government and municipalities get in their own way?” Rubel said she has reached out to mayors from all over Central New Jersey, and while some took time to speak to her about the program, she said she didn’t receive as warm of a reception from Howell Township Mayor William Gotto. “He basically wanted to hang up on me. He didn’t want to have a conversation with me,” she said. “He was one mayor I didn’t pursue because I got such a negative response from him. The most negative response out of all the mayors I spoke to about this project.” While he did confirm that Rubel reached out to speak about the “tiny homes” project, Gotto says the conversation had a different tone to it. After reaching out to the township, Gotto said Rubel did present a plan for little homes. He explained that a lot of things “need to take place” before a little home could be built because they are considered vehicles. In order to be considered anything other than a vehicle,
they needed to be incorporated in planning and zoning ordinances. “She didn’t really like that answer very much,” he said. “In order for the program to be incorporated in Howell, this is what she would need to do. At that point she became agitated and I thanked her for her time and that was the end of the conversation.” While waiting for the bill to pass, Rubel may
have a found a future home for the tiny home pilot program in Trenton. In the meantime, Rubel will use her photography as a way of raising awareness about homelessness and fighting the stigma surrounding it. Her artwork is on display at the Ocean County Artists Guild in Island Heights. For more information, visit ocartistsguild. org.

It wasn’t for him. “I hated it. I hated it!” Portella said. “At night, I would meet my friends on the corner and they said, ‘We’re going to take the police exam.’ I didn’t say nothing, but I got up that morning, and I remember I told my father, ‘I’ll be back, but I have to do something in the morning.’ ‘What do you got to do in the morning,’ he said. He was a good guy. I took the police exam. They didn’t know about it until I got the letter in the mail, and my mother said, ‘What’s this?’” In 1963 he started with the Newark Police. His fourth year he was promoted to the detective bureau, then saw the Newark Riots, six days of rioting between July 12 and 17 that left 26 dead and hundreds more injured, which was sparked when two white officers arrested a black cab driver who was rumored to have been killed. (He wasn’t.) “When I would go out and talk to these people, they didn’t want to know nothing. You had to break out on your own. It’s difficult to go out there and try to develop information about homicides or robberies if you don’t have people out there that see it,” Portella said. It was all about the street. “I locked up a kid who was 18 years old and he was in possession of a gun, but it was unloaded. It was still a weapon, I brought him in, and he ran a disco in Newark. All the kids all came down there. He says to me, ‘If you can help me out, I can help you out.’ So we spoke with the prosecutor, we went to
the judge, and we got this kid probation. He was with me for 38 years in the street. He probably introduced me to three-quarters of Newark. He was my best. I would get calls at 2 o’clock in the morning and I would call him up and meet him at the Sunoco or some other place and he would meet me there. No other cop, just him. He knew everybody. The main thing was the trust.” He would often observe a drug transaction going down, but rather than make an arrest, he would confront the dealer and the buyer, and let them go, but with a catch. “You owe me brother,” Portella would say, handing them his business card. He would inform Narcotics of big shipments he was alerted to, but Potrella’s focus was on murders and robberies. He was informant building. “This is how I did it all my life in the streets.” And his informants always found him. “But he also made friends with the mothers and the families,” Connie Portella, Louis’ wife, said. “That was one of the most important things. And today’s policemen, getting shot left and right, whether they’re black or white or purple or whatever, and what Louis’s big thing is, is trying to develop a relationship, the police need to develop a relationship with the people in the neighborhood,” she said. “This is what he did for 38 years. They need to earn respect. He had respect on the streets. They knew if he took their sons, nothing would happen.” In Portella’s journals of his police work, filled with newspaper clippings, letters and more in the scrapbook, are notes thanking him for his efforts.
A February 11, 1974 letter from a Newark woman attacked outside her home: “I never thought that Police Detectives would work so hard for me in the city of Newark. I really appreciate their help in giving me a secure feeling in knowing that if anything happens in my neighborhood, I have someone to count on.” Cultivating informants and working hard to crack cases was part of the police work, but it was also a political climate. When Portella backed the losing political candidate for mayor 22 years into his career, as “punishment” he was reassigned, but it was he who got the last laugh. He would show up to his old precinct and have numerous messages from informants who had information on murders and robberies. “I’ll give you the name of the detective. They would say, ‘Malik, I ain’t talking to nobody except you.’ ‘Well, you got to give me the information now, because I have to submit a report.’ They would call me up, the detectives, ‘Can I meet with your guy?’ ‘He won’t meet you.’ This went on two months...the police director called me in after 4 months. ‘We have to bring you back.’ I said, ‘Guess what? I ain’t going back.’” He had taken a job with the Essex County Prosecutor’s office and went right to the homicide unit. He broke 13 murder cases in two months. Despite his reputation, Portella was still white. Still an outsider. Still the law. Why did black mothers turn in their sons to him, why did prostitutes call him to report their boyfriends for robberies and murders? “Because they knew eventually he was
going to get caught or killed. And I had the reputation, if he came in, he wasn’t going to get hurt, he was going to get a fair trial, and that was it. They knew that either way, he has to come in or he’s going to get killed,” Portella said. He could sometimes secure reduced sentences, especially for robbery convictions. Double homicides, never. Connie Portella added: “And Louis, knowing the judges, a lot of times he could get the sentences reduced because he would go directly to the judge and say, ‘He told me this,’ or ‘he helped me solve another case.’ Even with the girls on the streets, that would happen. They would get picked up on a Saturday night, and again on a Sunday night, and he’d go to the judge and say, ‘She helped out,’ so it starts at the bottom and mushrooms to the top, where you can save a lot of people, or get the really bad ones.” He was also known to buy diapers, bring Christmas presents and Thanksgiving dinners, or lend $10 to his informants in need. Another note in Portella’s scrapbook recalls work assisting with a case where a cop was shot. The January 14, 1980 letter from the Hillside Chief of Police was in connection with the investigation into the murder of Patrolman Anthony Lordi. The individuals were apprehended thanks to the work of Portella and others on his team. “Never in my 32 years with the Hillside Police Department have we ever received such cooperation from any one individual or any Police Department in connection with any investigation being conducted by this department,” went the police chief’s (Retiree - See Page 16)

Featured Letter N.J. Parole Board Is No Place For Bigotry As the subject of both an Academy Award winning documentary and a star-studded Hollywood movie, it was among the most stunning stories of inhumanity in 21st-century America: In 2005, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders stood unflinchingly united in their stone-cold-hearted opposition to a dying woman’s repeated pleas for justice. That woman, literally gasping for her last breaths every step of the way in her struggle for equality, was Lt. Laurel Hester of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office who had heroically served New Jersey’s citizens as a police officer for a quarter century. Facing certain death as a result of her terminal illness, Lt. Hester’s last request of the freeholders was simply to be treated equally by allowing her to assign her death benefits to her legal domestic partner, as would automatically be the case with every married heterosexual public employee in New Jersey. Despite the law at the time that permitted such requests, the county’s lawmakers saw fit to stand firm in discriminating against Lt. Hester based on her sexual orientation. In his moral condescension, Freeholder Jack Kelly argued that granting equality to Laurel would “violate the sanctity of marriage.” But Hester would ultimately prevail in her heart-wrenching quest for equal dignity. Four of the five freeholders, guided by compassion and conscience, eventually recognized they were on the wrong side of history and courageously reversed their stance in a hastily-called spe-
cial board meeting just weeks before Laurel’s death. The lone holdout was Freeholder Kelly who, in an almost equally stunning display of cowardice, refused to attend the final meeting to defend his shallow-minded moral principles. Quite frankly, I don’t have much use for anyone, let alone a public official, who uses their religion to justify harming another human being. Whether it’s radical Islam or extremist Christianity, this sort of frequently hypocritical self-righteousness has no place in our government. So why on earth would Governor Christie nominate a man with such a disgraceful record of bigotry for a seat on the New Jersey Parole Board, a position that demands at least some minimal degree of compassion in judging others? According to recent reports, Governor Christie and NJ Senate President Stephen Sweeney have both agreed that Freeholder Kelly has the character and qualifications to serve on the parole board. To reward Kelly with a six-figure pension-padding political plum after the way he has so intolerantly treated others is simply beyond the pale, even by New Jersey standards. It’s a blot on Laurel Hester’s legacy of equal justice for all and a slap in the face to every single decent human being in the state of New Jersey. We shouldn’t stand for it. Dane B. Wells Jackson Wells is the retired detective who served as Laurel Hester’s partner in the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office

From 22 Candidates, Down To Some Sad Choices Facing a growing divide between the “haves and have nots” with the young and middle class squeezed from all sides, 22 candidates vied for the presidential nomination. Sadly, celebrity and bombast prevailed over reality leaving only three standing, all flawed. One is an ego-maniac who shoots from his hip and vulgar mouth but sadly appeals to those who prefer entertainment and disrespectful conduct, even violence. The second, also an ego maniac who would rather destroy his party and a fellow candidate if he can’t win, he convinces naive young people they warrant more government entitlements that will never be approved for they would bankrupt our country further taxing an already endangered middle class. The third, most well known but often disliked, has a history of repeat scandals and deception. Do we toss a coin or do we swallow hard recognizing that only one has the experience, knowledge, maturity and capability of governing in very turbulent times for our nation and world? How sorrowful that we would have to make this unhappy choice. Our voting process is also flawed, as campaigning starts
almost two years before the election, the manner of apportioning delegates is questionable, the need to raise millions of dollars corrupts the best of people and exposing one’s self and family to lies and personality assaults leads the most qualified to stay out of the fray. The best of the lot may have been John Kasich. However neither he nor other serious candidates ever had a chance: often ignored in debates, manipulated by “gotcha” questions, moderators focusing on more well known candidates and a media that promoted a loose cannon who would attract more viewers thus raising the profits of the networks and sponsors. How sad and frightening for our country and world in these perilous times. God help us! Seymour Brotman Manchester
Fair Tax Misnamed This is in response to the recent John O’Rourke’s letter praising the misnamed “Fair Tax” (HR 25/ S 155). Mr. O’Rourke is fond of using the verb “will” in conjunction with his tax plan, as in “will eliminate all federal taxes on income” or “foreign trade will boom.” In fact he uses the word no fewer than 17 times, the penultimate of which predicts that his “FairTax will eliminate the IRS as we know it.”

There is nothing new or innovative in the FairTax; it is no different from the socalled flat tax ideas trotted out semi-annually which invariably favor the wealthy. Who would benefit the most from the eradication of the IRS: the middle class or the top ten percent? Mr O’Rourke also neglects to tell us that flat taxes customarily exclude such popular deductions as medical expenses, local property taxes, and home mortgage interest. No, there is nothing original in the FairTax. Nor is there anything good in it, at least for the working class. Michael J Doherty Berkeley
Letter On Middle East Is Simplistic The writer of “The Puzzle in the Middle East” recent letter holds that the area is a powder keg, it’s about to explode and it is all the fault of President Obama. This simplistic statement completely ignores all the different people, religions, ambitions, animosities and prejudices that have bedeviled this region and all the statesmen and women from many countries who have striven to find a path to peace. Andrew Bacevich, West Point, retired colonel, PhD, specializing in international relations and history, posits the US has been at war in the Middle East since January 1980 - that’s Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush the Elder, Clinton, Bush the Younger and Obama inherited all they did, their successes (few) and shortcomings (plenty, but not for lack of trying). May 14 was the 100th anniversary of the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the secret plan of France, the UK and Russia to divide up the Ottoman Empire after World War I. Why do I mention it? In 2014, ISIL declared in a statement that one of their goals was to undo Sykes-Picot. If one of the major problems in the area is a secret treaty signed long before any of us was born, do not be persuaded that all the failings of a century should or must be laid at the feet of a man only eight years on the job. It’s just not fair. Michael F. Flynn Manahawkin
Sanctuary Cities Funding Bad Idea I consider myself as a conservative/independent voter. Republican or Democrat I will vote for the candidate most closely aligned with my positions. I guess I made a mistake in voting for Tom McArthur for congress. This guy had the gall to vote funding for these “sanctuary cities.” Taking a closer at him he must have thought this was a racial issue. These cities such as Newark and other N.J. cities, as well as across this nation, put illegals and criminals out of the reach of the law. Just look at the crime rate in these cities and the people committing them. Thanks for nothing, McArthur. William McPhail Toms River
Liberty State Park Under Attack
As the weather gets warmer and we begin to spend more time outside again, we are reminded of the value and importance of our parks and open spaces. Yet, over the last few years, we have seen these irreplaceable assets threatened by privatization, commercialization and development. Recently, we have seen Liberty State Park come under attack with a new proposal to build barge docking stations between the coast of the park and Ellis Island. These docking stations would essentially turn this area of the waterfront into a parking lot for commercial barges, not only altering the park’s unrivaled views of New York City, but potentially disrupting ferry service as well. This is only an example of the type of development that continues to threaten our valued open spaces throughout New Jersey. We must come together to remind government officials that open spaces around the state are not for sale, but rather, are priceless community assets that should be protected. Stand with me as we take on this threat to the development of parks and open spaces in New Jersey. Sign a petition that says “No” to the proposed docking stations in Liberty State Park and affirms your commitment to protecting open space in New Jersey. Steven Fulop Mayor, Jersey City

Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer 12th Legislative District
“Lisa’s Law” Protecting Domestic Violence Victims
OCEAN COUNTY – Assemblyman Ron Dancer’s “Lisa’s Law” bill protecting domestic violence victims earned approval from the Judiciary Committee. The bill (A315) establishes a pilot program for electronic monitoring of domestic violence offenders. “We need to do every-
thing in our power to protect these victims from the long-ter m physical and emotional effect of violence,” said Dancer (R—Ocean). “Technology allows us to establish a safe zone around victims that we can monitor. Minimizing the risk is a welcome relief for women
who live with constant fear of attack.” Under the bill, an offender released on bail is requi red to wea r a n electronic ankle bracelet. If the technology detects the offender approaching the victim’s safe zone, an alarm is sounded through her cell phone.
Dancer’s bill is named for Letizia “Lisa” Zindell, a Toms River resident who was strangled to death by her ex-fiance in 2009. Her killer had been released from custody a day earlier, despite his repeated violation of a protective order. “This was a successful young woman who worked
with children, and she did everything she could to protect herself. But the system failed her,” said Dancer. “It is time to start this pilot program, and begin using today’s technology to protect victims and prevent more tragedies tomorrow.” The bill establishes a

four-year pilot program in Ocean County for electronic monitoring of offenders convicted of contempt of a domestic violence order.
From The Desk Of The Ocean County Freeholders: OCEAN COU NTY – Ocean County off icials say that while the state’s criminal justice bail reform may have good intentions, it’s the price tag that will be passed along to taxpayers that has them very concerned. Citing the impact the downturn in the economy a nd Superstor m Sa ndy has had on the county’s finances, officials voiced disappointment that the mandated bail reform program comes with no financial help from the state for implementation. “We can’t print money like the federal government nor should we have to impose upon our taxpayers to fund the state’s criminal justice reform,” said Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who serves as liaison to the Department of Finance. New Jersey voters, in the November 2014 general election, approved an amendment to the state Constitution that allows for bail reform. Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little said however the ballot question didn’t mention it would come with a significant cost to the taxpayer. “The ballot question, unfortunately, seemed to omit several key impacts, but our greatest concern is who will be responsible to pay for its implementation,” Little said. “The
Bail Reform Costs Concerns Freeholders
funding source for bail reform comes from local taxpayers. It should not have to be our taxpayers.” Little strongly emphasized the people of New Jersey approved a state mandate state pay constitutional amendment and it’s the state’s responsibility to fully fund this new mandate. According to the New Jersey Cou r ts website, starting January 1, 2017, the state will shift from a system that relies principally on setting monetary bail as a condition of release to a risk-based system. The statute also sets deadlines for the timely filing of an indictment and the disposition of criminal charges for incarcerated defendants. Pilot programs in three vicinages, Camden, Morr is/Sussex and Passaic counties are all underway and all have noted the heavy price tag associated with the program. “With this legislation, we have to provide more space, more person nel, more overtime pay,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, director of Law and Public Safety. “These costs add up and they add up fast. “Since we are obligated to follow the law and implement this reform in Ocean County, as a Board we are entrusted by the taxpayers
to make certain it is cost effective,” Kelly said. “From what we are hearing, this reform is nothing short of costly for the counties.” Already starting with over-crowded conditions in its court facilities, the county must now find room to accommodate at least the 15 new employees the Ocean County vicinage expects to bring on as part of the bail reform. “And that is just the first number we have received,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to Buildings and Grounds. “Our court facilities are heavily used by the public and space is already at a premium. “We cannot magically erect new buildi ngs to accommodate more employees. These things take time and careful planning and should be fully funded by the state of New Jersey,” Vicari said. And, new sheriff’s officers, assistant prosecutors and associated staff will have to be hired by the county. “A program like this requires a number of new positions,” said Freeholder Virginia E. Haines. “But the question remains how do we pay for them?” While the state is expected to pay the salaries of the Pretrial Services Unit that would be established to run the bail reform program,
millions of dollars in other costs must be borne by the counties. “But, we must pay for the operation, maintenance and capital improvements to the courthouse and we are mandated by the state to fund county sheriff and prosecutor’s offices,” Kelly said. “The additional staff is needed because a lot of this work is expected to take place within 48 hours of an arrest. Almost assuredly this would include weekends when we are not generally operating.” Vicari said the counties were not provided a true picture by the state when it was proposing these reforms. “No one realized the long-term financial ramifications. The state didn’t talk about it,” Vicari said. “The state can’t impose a two percent cap on us and then give us an unpaid state mandate. “Our county has a large population of seniors who live on fixed incomes,” Vicari said. “They shouldn’t have to pay for this.” The New Jersey Asso-
ciation of Counties, an advocacy group for county governments in New Jersey, suggests Boards of Freeholders throughout the state support the proposed “County Government Criminal Justice Refor m Administration Fund,” which if approved by the state legislature, would modestly increase certain criminal and civil court fees and dedicate the increases to county governing bodies to implement the new criminal justice reform law. The proposed legislation has the support of the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders. John Donnadio, president of NJAC, recently told the Freeholders the criminal justice reform legislation does come with significant costs that were not anticipated. He suggested the Freeholders reach out to their state legislative delegations to specifically discuss criminal justice reform. “We have to get some kind of legislative relief,” he said. “We have to let them know these are real
expenses.” Costs to implement the refor m f rom cou nt y to county differ, but in most cases the price tag is in the millions. The total costs for all counties collectively to implement the legislation could be an estimated $50 million in the first year. County off icials have suggested that at the conclusion of the current pilot program, the state should survey the stakeholders i nclud i ng prose cutor s, sheriffs, judiciary and freeholders in order to look at alternatives that will make the new law less burdensome on the taxpayers. “Based on the results of the survey, the law could be amended,” Little said. Meanwhile, the new bail reform is said to possibly result in a reduction of the county jail population, but there is no way to calculate how much savings that would provide, if any. “It all comes back to the costs associated with bail reform,” Bartlett said. “I am hopeful the state will see its clear responsibility and fund the changes.”

–Photo courtesy Rich Hutchinson The Jackson Lacrosse Club won the championship for the second year in a row. JACKSON – The Jackson Lacrosse Club A Division made a return trip to the Coastal Lacrosse League semi-finals on June 4. The club started the day off with a semi-final win over Shore Lacrosse Club by a score of 14 to 6. This moved Jackson into the championship game against Wall lacrosse. Wall had beaten Jackson twice this season, but not in the championship game, which
was touch and go in the first half. Jackson lagged 7 to 5 half time. The second half was a different game. Jackson controlled the game, scoring three more goals to finish the day 10 to 5 over Wall. This is the second year in a row that Jackson has taken home the championship. For information about this program, go to jacksonlax.org.

LRRC Offers Homeownership Seminars LAKEWOOD – Being a first-time homebuyer can be a confusing, complex experience. More than 90 Ocean County first-home buyers recently attended a free evening program sponsored by The LLRC (Lakewood Resource and Referral Center) and STEPS (Solution to End Poverty Soon) at the Public Works Complex to gain a better understanding of what mortgage options are available and how to qualify for them. Lenders and representatives from such local institutions as TD Bank, Investors Savings Bank, Santander, Fulton and FM Home Loans discussed many topics related to the home-buying process, with a special emphasis on lower interest rates and down payment requirements with no MI (Mortgage Insurance). Attendees had the opportunity to discuss and review mortgage products with each lender. Housing counselors from LRRC and STEPS were also available to answer questions. Mayer Hoberman, executive director of social services at the LLRC, said “The LRRC and STEPS sponsored this program because we recognize that first-time and all homebuyers need the understanding and skills to make appropriate and educated decisions during the home buying process.” LRRC offers homeownership seminars twice a month, and counseling on a regular basis, which is required by many lenders to enable clients to take advantage of first-time homebuyer mortgage products. For more information, contact BassiAderet, housing coordinator at the LRRC, at 732-942-9292 ext. 9115.

Do you remember your life before with better hearing? Asking people to repeat themselves, avoiding crowded or noisy restaurants, cranking the television to a level that only you could tolerate – it sounds like a different life, doesn’t it? Every day, audiologists from around the world work closely with hearing device developers to perfect one thing: your listening experience. Nowadays, hearing device wearers have the ability to enhance their living lifestyles with a variety of hearing device features, styles and accessories. These advanced technologies provide more comfort, freedom and choice than ever before. Hearing devices used to come in two sizes: Big and bigger.

AGX’s hearing device developers have taken note of people’s different lifestyles and are creating designs and features based on the way you live. You do not have to conform to the technology – the technology is conforming to you!

Surflink and Medialink. AGX did not just add wireless connectivity to its hearing device lines; they created entire systems to enhance listening people’s lifestyles.

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Peroxide, Necessary But Dangerous In Excess
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
peroxide, you think of those brown bottles from the drugstore. Some people use it like cheap bleach to lighten hair color, but mostly it’s poured on wounds as a disinfectant. Going grey is your sign of too much peroxide, it’s a sign of “rusting,” metabolically speaking. Peroxide sometimes goes by its molecular acronym, H2O2, which means there are two hydrogen and two oxygen atoms. My recent autoimmune video shocked a lot of readers because I said we all make hydrogen peroxide in our own body, all day long. I also said there’s a lot more peroxide happening in you if you have Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune diseases and that it produces pain and flare ups. However, I want to be fair and tell you today that peroxide isn’t bad. Excessive peroxide is bad. First, I’ll tell you why peroxide isn’t bad. Your thyroid gland requires peroxide to make thyroid hormone. Without enough peroxide, you can’t make “Thyroid Peroxidase” enzyme, or TPO. It’s this TPO enzyme that forms thyroid hormone for you, so see it’s not really a bad guy. It’s also a chemical messenger in your body. In a perfect world, and healthy body, the peroxide you create will rapidly turn into water and oxygen with the help of an enzyme called catalase (you make that too). It’s the oxygen coming off the peroxide that makes the bubbles and fizzing associated with peroxide. So we’re clear now right? You get that peroxide isn’t toxic in and of itself, but it’s definitely toxic in high amounts. It’s like
acid. It’s like bleach. It destroys your cell membranes, it causes pain, it makes your hair turn grey and it causes peroxidation in your lipids, which leads to bad cholesterol ratios, diabetes and heart attack. Millions of people have too much peroxide and not enough catalase on board to degrade it in the cells. Remember, the catalase enzyme turns peroxide into water and oxygen. I have more information and a video about catalase and the connection to thyroid disease at my website suzycohen. com just sign up for my newsletter. Controlling peroxide is critical if you have an autoimmune disease of any sort, especially one that affects your thyroid. You’re probably wondering how you get excessive peroxide. Honestly, it’s easy; some of you probably keep creating it all day long. If you eat or drink junk foods, sugar, candy, soda and you know what else you get into… these things are refined and pro-inflammatory, so within seconds you’ve spawned hydrogen peroxide in your body. Let the rusting begin! We can overwhelm our antioxidant systems so easily with alcohol, emotional stress and even physical work outs or all-nighters. One more way, if you supplement with high doses of iodine, you’ll make more peroxide, this is why people with Hashimoto’s react badly to iodine at times. There’s a balance with iodine and selenium that I’ve explained in other articles at my website. Remember, without catalase (and also glutathione) you can’t put out the peroxide flame.

letter. “Words cannot express the gratitude that is extended to your Department and those men who assisted us so ably in this investigation. Their dedication to duty was outstanding. Their knowledge of investigative techniques was of the highest order of the police profession. These individuals cast aside all thoughts of themselves, their families and friends in an effort to bring this case to the satisfactory conclusion that has been accomplished.”
Now retired and living in Jackson, Portella wants to create a platform to address what he sees as a growing problem between police and minorities. He has much wisdom to share, and hopes to gain media attention to get the word out. Portella would start by saying this to new recruits and even veteran offices. “You’ve got to go out and talk to the families, the clergymen, and you can’t be a tough guy. You’ve got to come down a little bit. A lot of cops go out there with a badge and gun and they think they’re God. You can’t do that. You’ve got to come down.”

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
I Wear A Hidden Pouch When I Travel
Dear Readers Vacation fun has finally arrived, and I for one want for you to get the most out of these wonderful months. We in New Jersey are particularly fortunate to have the shore. In fact our beaches are the number one reason that tourists even bother to come to the Garden State. I do however want for you to have a better vacation. If you have to be told not to drink and drive, well don’t even bother reading my column. A drunk driver is beyond my reach in terms of safety. You need help greater than I can offer here. I am speaking of a different way of a vacation being ruined. People falling victims to identity theft is the new rage. Being away from home makes you vulnerable in different ways. Here are a few hints. Take one debit card and one credit card and leave the rest of your plastic friends at home. Do not take your social security card with you, as that is a recipe for disaster in these times. In fact for the most part you shouldn’t need it even when home. If you don’t use passwords for your smart phone and tablets. set one up for each before you leave. The information you have
OCEAN COUNTY
on your phone is the equivalent of your wallet being stolen by thieves. Make a copy of your passport and leave it with someone that you trust at home. Should you lose it, although it won’t be an instant cure, it will save you much aggravation. I will give away my number one secret, as I trust all of my readers. While traveling, I have a pouch which fits under my clothing. I keep some extra cash, credit cards and health insurance card hidden, and I don’t even feel it after the first few minutes. There are several types including the kind that I use which is around the waist. These are available at Amazon, ebay and travel sites; search for travel pouches on the Internet. Pack much less than you need, but make sure to take your common sense with you while away... Have a wonderful summer. Write to preferredcares.com.

Protect Jackson’s Open Space With The Pathfinders JACKSON – Jackson Pathfinders is a group of volunteers whose goals are to preserve open spaces in Jackson, wherever possible, to maintain existing trails in the township’s parks and to contribute to a network of land preservation efforts throughout the country.

The group’s vision is to encourage pride in the community and to gain public support for preserving open space for future generations. Pathfinders is supported by the Jackson Town Coun-
cil and operate under the direction of the Jackson Recreation Department and work closely with the Town Council in discussing future land acquisitions. Pathfinders is also the community advocacy group for the Forest Resource Education Center and has worked with the Jackson Environmental Commission. Meetings are open to the public and held the third Thursday of the month. Meetings are 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the township municipal building, main room (or sometimes in the employee lounge/conf room). Monthly meetings are held at 7:30 p.m. at the Jackson Municipal Building, on June 16, July 21,August 18, September 15, October 20 and November 17.

Lightning Safety Awareness Month
OCEAN COUNTY – The freeholders and county health department are warning about lightning, noting it is Lightning Safety Awareness month. “Lightning strikes the United States about 25 million times a year, and people can get struck any time of year. Lightning kills an average of 49 people in the United States each year and hundreds more are severely injured,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “It’s important to know how to stay safe, whether indoors or outdoors, from lightning. Most lightning deaths and injuries occur during the summer months, when the combination of lighting and outdoor activities reaches a peak. People who are boating, swimming, fishing, bicycling, golfing, walking, camping or working outdoors need to take appropriate actions in a timely manner when thunderstorms approach.” Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department public health coordinator, said there is no place safe outside if there are thunderstorms in the area. “If you can hear thunder, lightning is close enough to strike you and when you do hear thunder, you should immediately move to safe shelter; a building with electricity or plumbing or metal topped vehicle (but keep your hands off the metal sides) with the windows up,”
Pineland Symphonic Band Releases Performance Schedule OCEAN COUNTY – The Pineland Symphonic Band has a series of concert dates. July 17, Community Reform Church in Whiting at 3 p.m. July 24, Toms River Library, Washington Street, 7:30 p.m. September 18, Southern Ocean Congregational Church, Little Egg Harbor at 2:30 p.m. October 16, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Beachwood at 3 p.m. November 20, St. Stephens Episcopal Church in Whiting at 3 p.m. These concerts are open to the public. The band’s repertoire is a refreshing blend of pop, symphonic adaptations, classic marches and Dixieland arrangements, combined with virtuoso instrumentalists and tasteful leadership, according to the organization. The Pineland Sy mphonic Band, a non-profit band of volunteer musicians, always welcomes new members. Visit PinelandSymphonicband.org for more information.

Regenye said. “During a period of thunderstorms, you should stay off corded phones, computers and other electrical equipment that put you in direct contact with electricity. Phone use is the leading cause of indoor lightning injuries in the U.S. Avoid bathing, washing your hands, washing dishes and do not do laundry. Make sure everyone in the house
stays away from windows and doors and stay off porches and you want to avoid contact with concrete walls as they may contain metal reinforcing bars,” said Regenye. It is important to know: Victims of lightning do not retain the charge and are not “electrified.” It is safe to help them. Lightning can – and often does – strike in
the same place twice. An umbrella can increase your chances of being struck if it makes you the tallest object in the area. Avoid being the highest object anywhere. Rubber shoes will not give you any meaningful protection from lightning. Visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org for more information.

Spotlight On Business
Dr. Louis Napolitano DMD
The miracle that dental patients have been waiting for is the Solea dental laser. Solea is a powerful dental laser that replaces the dental drill in the majority of procedures. Solea’s technology offers patients a reliable, anesthesia-free, alternative to the traditional drill for hard and soft tissue procedures. Its unique 9.3 microns wavelength provides a natural anesthetic effect while also affording dentists the ability to cut dental enamel with unprecedented speed and precision. Patients experience a virtually painless procedures that take a fraction of the times of a traditional dental appointment because practitioners do not need to inject anesthetic or control bleeding. Solea is the first CO2 dental laser system cleared by the FDA for hard, soft and osseous tissue procedures. Solea offers a unique wavelength guided by sophisticated computers to deliver virtually painless dental procedures for both teeth and gums from simple cavities to complex surgeries. The experience is so unique that you will find it hard to believe you were just at a dental appointment. Solea delivers a completely different experience than the traditional drill. No more needles. No more jarring noises.
No more soreness. Dr. Napolitano’s patients will be able to receive the oral care they need and immediately jump back into their day. No anesthesia means no risk of patients biting themselves so the traditional limit of working in a single quadrant per visit is a thing of the past. Now patients can get all of their dental needs addressed in a single visit making it easy to return to work or home and avoid missing valuable “up-time.” 732-905-2488

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Make Dad A Breakfast He Can’t Resist This Father’s Day
By Wolfgang Puck
When I wrote about Father’s Day in the past, I usually concentrated on grilled food, assuming that the main Sunday gathering for this forthcoming celebration of dads would center on the backyard. After all, in many homes the grill is Dad’s special territory. And this time of year is all about outdoor cooking. But why shouldn’t Dad get to lounge around in bed a bit later than usual on Father’s Day morning? Then he’ll be the guest of honor at a brunch table he’s sure to love. That said, I am happy to share one of my favorite Sunday brunch recipes, for French toast: Mascarpone-Stuffed French Toast with Mixed Berry Compote. I’ve long loved French toast, one of the best uses I know for slightly stale leftover bread. (The French, in fact, call it pain perdu, meaning “lost bread.” Though it’s certainly “found” again when dipped in a sweetened egg batter and then fried in some butter.) Sometimes I’ll make the basic version I just described. Other times I take a slightly fancier route by coating the dipped bread in sliced almonds or chopped pistachios or other nuts before cooking it. But when I want to make French toast that’s extra special, I’ll prepare a stuffed version. It starts with slightly thicker slices, in which you hollow out pockets by carefully inserting a knife along one side. Into the pocket goes a delicious filling: mascarpone or cream cheese plus jam. Although, I’ve seen others that include sliced bananas, peanut butter, chocolate chips or crispy bacon. You can stuff the bread slices the night before, leaving very little work for you to do the morning of the brunch. After the bread has been battered and fried, it finishes cooking in the oven, which makes it easy for you to serve everyone at the same time. The compote I like to serve with the French toast can also be made an hour ahead and rewarmed gently before serving. Of course, this recipe is wonderful for a formal brunch - or even a very casual one, for that matter - at any time of year. If you plan to make it for Dad, I suggest you also plan to serve along with it his favorite morning meats. Meat eaters and vegetarians alike will appreciate a selection of fresh seasonal fruit too. Dad is sure to enjoy his special feast. I should know, since I’m hoping my wife and sons will prepare this for me! MASCARPONE-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST WITH MIXED BERRY COMPOTE Serves 6 1 large rectangular loaf challah or similar egg bread, ends trimmed, loaf cut into 6 slices 2 inches (5 cm) thick 6 tablespoons mascarpone cheese or softened
cream cheese 12 tablespoons raspberry jam or other fruit jam 1 cup (250 mL) heavy cream, half and half, or milk 5 large eggs Freshly grated nutmeg 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla powder or vanilla extract Pinch kosher salt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 3 cups (750 mL) halved strawberries 3 cups (750 mL) raspberries 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 lemon Pure maple syrup, if desired Confectioners’ sugar, if desired With a small serrated knife, working from the bottom of a bread slice parallel to and in between its cut sides, make a deep, wide pocket in the center of the slice. Repeat with the remaining slices. Stand 1 bread slice with its incision facing up. Gently squeeze the sides to open the incision. Spoon 1 tablespoon mascarpone and 2 tablespoons jam into the pocket. Repeat with the remaining slices and filling. Place on a baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate until cooking time. Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C). Heat a large nonstick countertop electric griddle to 350 F (175 C), or a heavy large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, put the cream, eggs, a little nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until blended into a batter. Melt the butter with the oil on the griddle or skillet. Dip 1 piece of bread into the batter, turning it to coat; transfer to the griddle or skillet. Repeat with the remaining bread and batter, spooning the last of the batter over the bread as it starts cooking. Cook the French toast until the undersides are deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the toast, reduce the griddle temperature to 300 F (150 C) or the stovetop heat slightly, and continue cooking, about 4 minutes longer, adding more butter to the griddle or skillet as you like. As soon as all of the French toast is cooking, combine the berries and sugar in a heavy large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Squeeze in the juice from the lemon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and their juices thicken, about 15 minutes. Transfer the browned French toast to a large baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and the filling begins to ooze out a bit, about 10 minutes longer If you like, use a serrated knife to cut each piece in half, revealing the stuffing. Transfer the French toast to six plates. Serve immediately with the compote and a lemon peel garnish, plus a drizzle of maple syrup and dusting of confectioners’ sugar if Dad desires.
