Memorial Day Mission: Stand Up Against Hate

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – At mosques, synagogues, and churches this weekend, there will be a common refrain: “Love Thy Neighbor.”

They will be urging their congregations to stand up against hatred, racism and anti-Semitism. This is a joint effort between more than 30 faith-based leaders spanning every denomination in Ocean County and the County Prosecutor’s Office.

On Fridays, mosques will spread the message. On Saturday, temples.

And on Sunday, churches.

The movement is trying to make people take a step forward and get to know someone who is different from you, whether that difference is based on faith, race, or culture.

And hopefully that will “bring back our humanity,” Prosecutor Joseph

Coronato said.

There have been instances of bias crimes in the county, he said. There is also defamatory talk among residents, ridiculing various groups either in person or online. There wasn’t any incident that spurred this on, but rather this initiative has grown out of regular meetings with religious leaders.

“Once you understand the culture, you understand the person that much more,” he said. “Whether you’re Muslim, Jewish, or Christian, we’re all human. We need to get along, and sometimes the reason we don’t is we don’t understand enough about each other’s culture.”

This might be the start of a regular series, he said. It was tied to Memorial Day for a few reasons. During (Stand Up - See Page 4)

Liberty Gets New Principal

–Photo courtesy Jackson School District Geoffrey Brignola will assume the role of principal of Jackson Liberty High School on July 1.

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON - Board of Education members unanimously approved the hiring of Geoffrey Brignola as the new principal for Jackson Liberty High School during a recent meeting.

Current principal, Maureen Butler, is retiring on July 1. That is the date that Brignola will start. Brignola was present at the meeting and heard high praise by board members and Superintendent Stephen Genco who recommended his hiring.

Brignola has worked in the Jackson School District as the assistant principal of Jackson Liberty High School for 11 years. Prior to holding that position, he was a supervisor of math and science, teacher of biology, anatomy/physiology, chemistry, and self-contained classroom science and a basketball, soccer and lacrosse coach in the Red Bank Regional school district.

“I feel Mr. Brignola will bring Liberty to the next level,” Genco said.

Board Vice President Vicki Grasso and board member Sharon Dey both expressed a need for change at the high school though neither explained (Principal - See Page 2)

“I have a lot of concerns about Liberty which I have discussed. We have a changing town. I’m looking forward to some changes,” Dey said, adding that she had confidence in Brignola’s ability to provide those changes.

“I will echo Ms. Dey’s concerns. I do trust that Mr. Brignola is the man for the job. I’d like to see some changes moving forward,” Grasso said.

“Congratulations, Mr. Brignola, I know you will do an outstanding job,” Genco said following the vote.

Board President Scott Sargent also wished Brignola well with his new posting.

JACKSON – Join us at Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area on Sept. 8 and 9, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., for the 2018 WILD Outdoor Expo!

This free family event celebrates outdoor recreation in New Jersey and allows visitors to learn about, explore, experience and enjoy

Sargent said “the beauty I see of this board is when they see concerns they go to Dr. Genco about them. He is their direct contact. He is in place to make those decisions. I trust Dr. Genco in making those decisions and the recommendations he makes.”

“My confidence in this superintendent is raised every month,” Sargent said. Sargent also noted that Genco had been named Ocean County Superintendent of the year.

Brignola made no formal comments to the board following his hiring and no one spoke during either public comment period during the meeting.

Advanced Placement Program Discussed During the meeting Assistant Superintendent Nicole Pormilli gave a presentation to the board

concerning the district’s advanced placement course program.

Pormilli said that program had received a year in review that involved five volunteer meetings by teachers and administrators. That meeting examined various aspects of the program including philosophy, requirements, a teacher survey, criteria and dual credits.

“Mental health of the student was also looked at. High school students suffer pressures of hearing GPA, GPA, GPA and while we want them to know the commitment involved we don’t want to have them overload themselves,” Pormilli said.

Pormilli talked about the district’s relationship with Ocean County College where certain courses were being accepted for transferable

“This is the first step. We are looking to expand this to more students. Over the summer we’ll be looking to expand this beyond AP courses.

We are building a plan for students in 2020,” Pormilli said.

“More options will come up to students for this,” Genco added.

“We’ll keep an eye on the mental health part,” Grasso said.

Genco gave praise to the district’s sports and music programs during the session. “I commend all our students involved with our bands, choir and who participated in our art expo. We have the two best baseball teams around.”

Dave O’Hare, one of the two founders of the event said “last year’s event had close to 4,000 attendees in the park.

We have around 60 vendors and we have activities involving some of our artist guests to teach kids how to draw comics.”

Danielle Pierson, Newton, donned the familiar black, red and white costume of the villainous Harley Quinn who originated in the Batman Animated series of the 1990s.

“Most of our members live in northern New Jersey. We make our own costumes from materials we buy and modify and alter,” Pierson said.

M i ke He m m ig of Re d Lio n , Pa . marched outside the Hall of Justice attraction in his Robot Superman costume which he said took two weeks to construct and was made for this event.

“Dave asked me to come out so I wanted to make something special.”

Attendees could have their photos taken with any of the cosplayers (literally “costumed players”) along with Super man and Wonder Woman who were provided by the amusement park.

For independent comic book artists like Woodbridge resident Angel Santiago, it was a chance to showcase his art,

sell some prints and promote his own forthcoming self-published comic book.

“I love the superhero genre. My book though has a focus on the protagonist and the antagonist. You get to see the good and the bad guy and why they do what they do. Everyone thinks what they are doing is the right thing.”

T he Flet che r fa m i ly of Wi n slow enjoyed their time at the show. Chris Fletcher, 11, spor ted a Joker T-shir t while his 8-year-old brother Shaw n donned a Captain America T-shirt for the event.

“We came out to meet Dean Cain and have our photo taken with him,” Chris said.

Their mother Jamie said she was also looking forward to meeting Cain. “I watched the show when I was growing up.” Her mother Lau ra Dat tilo also watched the show. “I came along to see him too,” Dattilo said.

It wouldn’t be a comic book show without vendors selling comics and East Side Mags of Montclair was doing a brisk business. The interest generated in comic books is far from waning according to store managers Jeff Beck and Mike Valle.

“DC Comics is outselling Marvel at least at our store. They seem to be more solid in their content and stories,” Beck said.

“Marvel is focusing more on their movies,” Valle added.

Cain remarked during his question and answer session, that despite his love and

association with Superman, he also enjoyed the Marvel Comics film franchise.

“They are really doing well with their films. I enjoyed seeing Deadpool 2 last week with my son though I didn’t feel it was as good as the f irst one,” Cain said.

Cain was slated for a spot playing professional football with the Buffalo Bills but a knee injur y sidelined him and redirected him to an acting career.

Before his time as Clark Kent/Superman, Cain had roles in TV shows like Beverly Hills 90210.

“I was the guy who broke up Brenda and Dillion on the show. It was a pretty popular series with young people back then.”

Cain said he felt his co -st ar Ter i Hatcher who played Lois Lane was his favorite. “Margot Kidder was great in the f irst series of Superman f ilms, may she rest in peace, but Teri was the best Lois ever.”

When asked if he felt stepping into the costume and donning the cape of the iconic character celebrating his 8 0 t h a n n ive r s a r y t h i s ye a r, m ig ht lead to typecasting, Cain said “I was 26 -years old at the time. It was the perfect job for me. It was a wonderful role.”

“Superman embodies all that is good and is always tr ying to help people.

That is why I feel the more moder n version of him (in the recent f ilms) which is darker is something I can’t

relate to. Superman is about what is right and hope. There isn’t much of that in the new version. I think though that at 180 he’ll still be great.”

More recently Cain played the recurring role of Dr. Jerimiah Danvers in the CW series “Supergirl,” playing that character’s adopted Earth father. He said that he hopes that he will be asked back to appear in more episodes next season.

At the conclusion of Cain’s session, several law enforcement officers were brought on stage to be recognized for their vocation. “These are the real heroes,” Cain said.

Among the police officers present were Mike Basso and Cherrick Daniels of the Jackson Police Department. “I watched him in the show as a kid,” Basso said.

JACKSON – New Jersey’s greatest danger of wildfires occurs during the spring months of March, April and May and the autumn months of October and November. Because trees are bare during these months, sunlight is allowed to reach the ground and dry the leaf litter on the forest floor. Winds during the spring and fall can be strong and dry, thus creating a deep, fluffy layer

Outdoor Fire Safety Tips

of hazardous forest fuels. An ignition source can spark these fuels, creating a devastating wildfire.

A large percentage of wildfires in New Jersey can be prevented by being careful with the use of fire. Several times during late winter and early spring, the skies over New Jersey fill with smoke. While this often causes concern for our residents, it is common for them to be informed

that the NJ State Forest Fire Service is merely conducting a “prescribed burn”. They do this by setting fires under exacting conditions to reduce the underbrush, “fuel” for a fire, in areas that are prone to fire.

Prescribed burns aids in the prevention of wildfires, reduces the intensity of the fires, and also provides a foundation for safer, more effective

fire suppression and protection operations The use of fire in this way requires a level of skill and competence through NJ Forest Fire Service ongoing extensive training. Since 1928, the NJ Fire Service has used this tool to protect the lives and property of our residents living near the forestlands of New Jersey.

The following tips can help you enjoy fire safely in the outdoors: • Bonfires and campfires: All bonfires and campfires require a permit. Check with your local Fire Warden or Fire Official regarding specific rules and regulations.

• Recreational fires: Recreational fires are only allowed to be burned at 1 and 2 family homes without a fire permit. These are fires that are shielded with a grill or cover described as charcoal or propane grills, elevated outdoor fire places and chimaeras. None of these devises or fire types may be used on the decks or balconies of multi-family residences, including town houses, condominiums and apartment buildings. These type fires are also subject to weather conditions such as wind and humidity where conditions ban all outside fire burning by NJ Forest Fire Service.

For more information contact the Fire Bureau for an informational flyer.

• Lanterns, stoves, and heaters: Cool all lanterns, stoves, and heaters before refueling them. They should be refueled on the ground in a cleared area; if any fuel spills, move the appliance to a new area before lighting it. Store flammable liquid fuel containers in a safe place. Never light lanterns and stoves inside a tent, trailer, or camper. If you use a lantern or stove inside a tent or trailer, be sure to have adequate ventilation. Always read and follow instructions provided by the manufacturer.

• Smoking: When smoking outdoors, safe practices require proper disposal of smoking materials and matches. Grind out your cigarette, cigar, or pipe tobacco in mineral soil and ensure that match heads are cold before disposing. Be careful when smoking while riding a horse or trail bike.

• Charcoal briquettes: After using burning charcoal briquettes, “dunk ‘em!” Don’t sprinkle. Soak the coals with lots of water; stir them and soak again. Be sure they are out cold! Carefully feel the coals with your bare hands to be sure.

For more information about fire safety in New Jersey’s outdoors and recreational fires, contact Fire Official Frank McDonnell of the Jackson Bureau of Fire Safety District No.3 at fmcdonnell@ jacksonfiredist3.org, by phone at 732-928-1666 ext. 14, or NJ Forest Fire Warden at 609-726-9010 for agricultural or camp fire permits.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials From The Desk Of

Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Tom MacArthur chaired the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force roundtable on effective addiction treatment and recovery.

During the roundtable, members received an update from Christopher M. Jones, PharmD., M.P.H, of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services

Administration (SAMHSA); John Brogan, the Chief Recovery Specialist for Lifeline Recovery Support Services in the Ocean County Prosecutors Office Blue Hart Program; and Chief Brian Rhodes of the Nashua (NH) Fire and Rescue Department. Director Jones gave remarks on the national state of the opioid crisis and the federal response. Mr. Brogan and

Opioid Treatment and Recovery Discussed Nationwide

Chief Rhodes described the innovative programs they have led in their communities, which have successfully connected individuals to much-needed treatment and reduced local overdose deaths.

“We are losing 174 Americans every day to the opioid crisis,” Congressman MacArthur said.

“They aren’t just numbers. These are people whose lives were stolen from them and cut short. They were someone’s son or daughter, brother or sister, soulmate or friend. If we lost 174 people from

a plane crash two days in a row, we would ground every plane and do whatever is necessary to keep people safe. We need that intensity of effort to overcome this crisis. It may be bigger than any of us, but it isn’t bigger than all of us together.”

Ocean County is considered to be the epicenter of the fight against opioid addiction in New Jersey and the county was recently designated as a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) after collaborative efforts by U.S.

Senator Cory Booker, Congressman MacArthur and County Prosecutor, Joseph Coronato.

“Our nation needs to take a comprehensive approach to treating addiction, which impacts the mind, body, and soul,” Brogan said. “The work of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force in Congress is crucial to bring people together to develop comprehensive solutions that will help us treat this disease. Thanks to Congressman MacArthur and Congresswoman Kuster, for inviting me to discuss

the successful treatment efforts we are seeing on the ground in Ocean County.”

“South Jersey has been hit particularly hard and I’m grateful for the commitment of our first responders, recovery specialists and healthcare community,” MacArthur continued. “The Bipartisan Heroin Task Force has made progress and we will stand with our local communities in providing the resources and initiatives to help us overcome this together.”

House Defense Authorization Bill Gives Raises To Military, Supports Programs

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The defense funding authorization bill for the 2019 Fiscal Year (FY) that has Rep. Chris Smith’s (R-4th) support includes $10.2 million for Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, authorizes the largest pay raise for military personnel in nine years, and leaves out the federal process to realign and/or close military bases.

“I am committed to ensuring that the men and women who

serve our country in the armed forces have as much support as possible,” Rep. Smith stated.

“For too long they have been in dire need of a boost but have not received one - financially, through troop support, and by modernizing our equipment. The last defense spending bill provided much-needed upgrades to our combat readiness and military equipment, and this bill would continue that support.”

The FY 2019 National Defense

Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) called on Facebook to enact a number of additional reforms on the heels of its recent announcement that it would undergo a civil rights audit and political bias review. Specifically, Booker pushed Facebook to use its data as a source for good by creating a public data trust and establishing industry-wide ethical frameworks.

“Announcing plans for a civil rights and safety audit is an important and significant step,” Booker wrote in a letter sent to Facebook Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. “However, the audit is one action among many Facebook should take to provide its users a more inclusive, equitable, and safe platform. I urge Facebook to partner with outside stakeholders to use Facebook’s vast trove of data as a force for positive change.

“I also strongly suggest that

Facebook work with organizers, activists, technologists and data ethicists to establish industry-wide ethical frameworks and implement a Data Code of Ethics,” Booker added.

Booker also called on the tech giant to improve diversity within its ranks, citing unacceptable statistics such as the fact that only one percent of the firm’s U.S. technical employees identify as black.

“If Facebook is truly committed to eliminating harassment and discrimination on its platform and understanding how social media and big data affects underserved communities, then recruiting, hiring, and retaining diverse researchers and data scientists must be an imperative,” Booker wrote.

The letter follows similar questions Booker asked of Zuckerberg during a hearing in the Senate last month. In response to Booker’s questions, Zuckerberg indicated openness to auditing the firm’s

Authorization Act (NDAA) has a topline of $717 billion, $17.4 billion more than the FY2018 NDAA. It authorizes a pay increase for servicewomen and men of 2.6 percent, more than the 2.4 percent raise in the previous NDAA and the largest in nine years.

This includes $10.2 million for Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to replace the Hot Cargo Hydrant System, used for aircraft that require hazardous cargo

parking.

“As the current refueling system is broken, the aircraft with hazardous cargo must be refueled by tanker trucks - a time-and-labor intensive process that is costly, inefficient and increases the risk of fuel spills,” Smith said. “This necessary replacement of the hydrant system would upgrade the safety and efficiency of the tanker refueling at the base.”

Also, U.S. military readiness receives another significant boost

in the bill, which authorizes: $39.5 billion for new aircraft $36 billion for new ships and the maintenance of existing ships $23.3 billion for repairs and rebuilding of military buildings and infrastructure $18.6 billion for rehabilitation and replacement of worn out Army equipment “It’s very important to note that the current legislation rejects authorization for the military’s Base Realignment and Closure

(BRAC) process,” Smith said.

Smith supported the FY2018 NDAA, which provided support to the men and women serving in the armed forces and authorized over $146.5 million for JB-MDL for construction projects related to the arrival of the KC-46A refueling tanker anticipated for 2021, as well as $11.6 million for Navy Reserve and Marine Corps Reserve projects at the base for aircraft apron, taxiway, and support facilities.

Facebook Has The Power To Be Used Ethically practices and policies as it relates to discrimination on the platform.

The full text of the letter is as follows: Dear Mr. Zuckerberg: I am encouraged by the announcement that Facebook will facilitate an independent civil rights and safety audit of Facebook’s products and policies in order to respond to the rampant hate speech, discriminatory practices, censorship, and surveillance occurring on the platform. In response to questions I posed to you during last month’s Senate hearing into Facebook’s data malpractice, you stated such an audit was a “very good idea.” I am heartened this idea is being bolstered with real action. A thorough, open assessment of Facebook’s operations is a necessary step to better understanding how Facebook’s products and policies failed to protect vulnerable communities.

Yet, there is more to be done.

Building communities and truly bringing the world closer together will require more than mitigating the harm caused by Facebook’s missteps. Rather, Facebook must

commit to harnessing its data to positively affect those communities. This is not a task that Facebook should endeavor upon on its own.

Therefore, I urge Facebook to partner with outside stakeholders to use Facebook’s vast trove of data as a force for positive change.

Advocates have suggested that Facebook create a public data trust - a clearinghouse where students, community leaders, organizers, scientists and developers can access anonymized Facebook data for research in service of the public interest.

Indeed there are already notable examples of Facebook using its internal researchers and technology to serve the public good by: proactively detecting suicidal posts before they’re reported; increasing our understanding of housing prices; and helping relief organizations around the world respond to natural disasters. The possibilities for Facebook’s user data are endless and, accordingly, its usage should not be restricted to internal Facebook researchers and scientists. Partnering with community-led organizations in a data trust could help to scale their

work in racial justice, women’s health, affordable housing, violence reduction, and many other fields in ways simply not possible outside of Facebook.

To be sure, even the most well-intentioned research demands oversight and accountability and Facebook has not always conducted its experiments in ways that were forthcoming and transparent. Given the sensitivity of the research data and potential for abuse, I also strongly suggest that Facebook work with organizers, activists, technologists and data ethicists to establish industry-wide ethical frameworks and implement a Data Code of Ethics. Additionally, just as the civil rights and safety audit will subject Facebook’s practices and policies to external review, Facebook’s research efforts should also be rigorously reviewed and analyzed by an outside entity.

Finally, as I mentioned during the hearing, Facebook must improve its diversity numbers. Silicon Valley remains disturbingly behind in matters of inclusion. You recently announced that by the end of the year Facebook will create 5,000 new positions, for, among other

functions, reviewing content.

However, only 1 percent of Facebook’s U.S. technical employees identify as black.

If Facebook is truly committed to eliminating harassment and discrimination on its platform and understanding how social media and big data affects underserved communities, then recruiting, hiring, and retaining diverse researchers and data scientists must be an imperative.

Announcing plans for a civil rights and safety audit is an important and significant step.

However, the audit is one action among many Facebook should take to provide its users a more inclusive, equitable, and safe platform. Facebook’s mission statement is “Give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.” Giving people the power means exactly that. I urge you to make your decision to work with outside entities on an audit the genesis of a larger commitment by Facebook to share information and resources with the community that makes Facebook what it is.

OCVTS Celebrates Apprenticeship Training Graduates

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Vocational Technical School (OCVTS) recently held a ceremony at Mancini Hall at the Ocean County Library to celebrate the completion of apprenticeship training for students in certain trades. The Apprenticeship Trades Certificate Awards recognized those who completed the Electricity; Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC-R); Plumbing; Automotive Mechanic and Maintenance Mechanic programs.

The arduous, four-year apprenticeship programs demand a lot of time and effort.

Students are required to take 576 hours of trade-related classroom instruction as well as log 8,000 hours of on-the-job training with an employer who sponsors the student. All of this, in just four years.

During the ceremony, led by OCVTS Adult Education Principal and Apprenticeship Coordinator Mary Beatty-Sharisky, graduates were given certificates of completion from OCVTS. Students received various awards for their hard work and dedication through the years.

Presented by Assistant Superintendent Nancy Weber-Loeffert, the recipients of the Outstanding Student Awards were: • Maintenance Mechanic graduate Andrew Crawford, of Brick • HVAC-R graduate Michael Peter, Jr., of Manahawkin • Automotive Mechanic graduate Michael DeCrescenzo, of Lanoka Harbor • Plumbing Graduate Gregory Frachette, of Manahawkin.

In addition to these students, Electricity graduate Glenn Spiedel of Brick, received an Outstanding Student Award and the Vocational Educational Commitment Award, in honor of Bruce B. Beatty, Professional Engineer.

Plumbing Graduate Kevin Koehler, of Forked River, received honors for Perfect Attendance throughout the four year program, sponsored

by Sidney Finkelstein, P.A. HVAC-R graduate Al Raimi, of Woodbridge, received the Striving for Success Outstanding Student Award, also sponsored by Sidney Finkelstein, P.A. For more information about the OCVTS Apprenticeship Programs visit ocvts.org.

Keeping You Informed: Over-the-Counter Devices

With last summer’s passage of the Overthe-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017, you may wonder how it affects your health care. As an AudigyCertified™ practice, we consider patient education an important part of delivering excellent service, so count on us for timely news to support your hearing wellness.

What does the law do? The legislation, part of the Food and Drug Administration Reauthorization Act, will allow the retail sale of hearing aids for adults with self-perceived mild to moderate hearing loss — without the crucial involvement of an audiologist or medical doctor.

When will I see its impact? Over-thecounter (OTC) hearing technology is at most a few years from being publicly available until federal regulations for safety, labeling, and manufacturing are developed.

What are the pros of this change? The law could help expand consumer access to hearing technology, motivate even more people to seek hearing help, and inspire more technical innovations that benefit patients.

What are the cons? Access to hearing health care is vital, but the law unfortunately will enable self-treatment for a serious physical condition that trained, licensed professionals are more suited to evaluate, diagnose, and treat.

Aren’t OTC hearing devices already available? You may be thinking of personal sound amplification products (PSAPs), which are wearable electronic devices used for activities such as bird-watching or TV-viewing to make a sound louder — not to take the place of properly fit hearing aids.

What’s the difference between OTC devices and PSAPs? Currently available

PSAPs are neither FDA-approved nor recommended to treat actual hearing loss. OTC hearing technology will be FDA-regulated but won’t be available for a while.

Once available on the market, will OTCs address my hearing needs? Hearing loss is often an inner-ear problem, but sometimes it’s a different issue such as earwax buildup, a foreign object in the ear canal, or an ear infection that may cause temporary hearing difficulty. A PSAP or OTC won’t tackle these types of underlying problems.

What else should I know about OTCs? OTCs will address only mild to moderate hearing loss, and even then, noise processing will be far less than a traditional hearing aid. They won’t always offer a successful fit and may be less specific for your situation.

What’s the benefit of choosing provider-fit hearing aids instead? Unlike OTCs and PSAPs, provider-fit hearing aids can address the full spectrum of hearing impairment from mild to profound. They’re already FDA-approved, are recommended to treat hearing loss, and can adjust to environmental variables such as background noise as well as help your brain process sound.

Self-treating hearing loss might seem convenient, but it can do more harm than good. Professional care — including testing, programming, fitting, and follow-up — helps you get to the bottom of your hearing difficulties and secure the right solution for your communication needs.

If you have questions about OTC hearing technology, signs and symptoms of hearing loss, or the dangers of self-treating hearing problems, call us today at 732-818-3610 we’re here to help!

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Aloe Vera Has 10 Impressive Uses

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Aloe vera made a couple of headlines recently. The fi rst was when the actress Drew Barrymore dabbed some on a facial sore and it instantly took out the redness. The second was when Prop 65 regulations in California called out a known carcinogen in aloe vera called “aloin.”

Don’t worry, aloe will never get banned!

Not to be morbid from the get-go, but extracted compounds from this spiky succulent were used in the Middle East during ancient times to clean dead bodies and prepare them for burial.

Plants of aloe very give us two different substances, one is called “gel” and the other is called “latex. Both have medicinal value. The gel is the clear part that comes from the center of the leaf. You know it well… it looks like jelly and it’s what you put on the skin for cuts and minor burns. The aloe latex is visible just beneath the plant’s outer skin, and it’s yellow in color. This has a laxative effect on the body.

Aloe is very useful for psoriasis, food sensitivities, diabetes, gastritis and gingivitis. If these topics interest you, I have a way longer version of this article which I’ll email to you next week if you sign up to receive my free health newsletter at suzycohen.

Right now, here are 10 things you can use your aloe plant for: 1. Moisturize Yourself: Mix some into your favorite lotion and put on your face or arms.

2. Heal Bug Bites: Dab aloe gel directly

onto painful or itchy but bites, or combine the aloe in the palm of your hand with some hydrocortisone cream.

3. Cool off burns: Squeeze a dab of aloe vera into traditional burn ointment and use on superficial burns.

4. Soothe eczema itch: You can buy any salt or sugar scrub that feels good to you and just mix in aloe vera gel.

5. Ease dandruff: Find a selenium sulfide-based shampoo and add some aloe vera gel to the shampoo then massage to your scalp.

6. Fix gingivitis: Squeeze some aloe vera gel onto your toothbrush and brush like normal.

7. Shave your legs: Instead of using expensive, perfumed shaving cream on your legs, use aloe vera gel.

8. Get moving: There are commercially prepared products used as dietary supplements which might help constipation. Some people like this, others react poorly.

9. Succulent Facial: Do you want softer skin and more radiance without spending a fortune on fancy creams? Apply the gel to your cheeks and forehead, and rest for 15 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.

10. Soothe a sunburn: Snap off a stalk from your aloe plant and apply the clear gel onto the sunburned area for a natural cooling balm. It helps with redness and inflammation.

These sound great and they are for most people. Occasionally with aloe, you hear of unexpected problems such as diarrhea, skin or eye irritation and possibly dehydration from the laxative effect.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets By: Michael Deem of R.C. Shea & Associates

In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family.

Protect yourself.

Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment.

When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy.

We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy.

The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries.

The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets.

We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/ they are injured.

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Michael J. Deem

The Standard Policy does provide medical expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses.

When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.”

By choosing the “limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing.

Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets.

Tourism Revenue Continues To Grow In Ocean County

TOMS RIVER – Ocean County saw its tourism dollars grow 1.8 percent in 2017 bringing the amount tourism injects into the local economy to $4.76 billion.

“I am happy to see our numbers continue to increase when it comes to tourism in Ocean County,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to tourism and business development. “We always say Ocean County is the best vacation spot offering premier boardwalks, beaches, amusement parks, and recreational activities that collectively draw hundreds of thousands of people annually to our shores.

“These numbers provided by the state of New Jersey confi rm what we have been saying,” Vicari said. “This almost 2 percent increase is what helps out our mom and pop businesses, our high school and college students and a host of other businesses and individuals. Tourism means jobs and it helps our economy.”

Vicari noted Ocean County continues to see an increase in tourism industry sales.

“That is good news for Ocean County,” he said.

Vicari noted the positive trend is especially impor tant since the County had growing concerns about potential damages to tourism as a result of Superstorm Sandy, which hit its coast on Oct. 29, 2012.

“We are happy that tourism is stronger than ever,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little said. “This is a true testimony to the business communities and owners of hotels and rental properties in working to keep Ocean County the premier destination spot it has always been.”

Vicari said people choose Ocean County to vacation because it is affordable and family friendly.

“You can come to Ocean County and pick and choose from the many activities that are going on or you can fi nd that quiet spot and just take it easy and relax,” Vicari said. “We have something for everyone.”

A report issued by the state Division of Travel and Tourism recently released the tourism numbers for the state.

Ocean County continues to account for more than 10 percent of all tourism dollars generated in the state.

“Ocean County’s tourism dollars have increased by almost 10 percent over the last three years,” Vicari said. “These dollars support our local economy year round and for our residents, this means a stronger economic outlook, employment and a more stable tax base.”

According to the State, on average, spending from 310 travelers, supports one New Jersey job and, one out of every 14.5 workers in New Jersey is supported by tourism.

In addition, $1,515 in tax revenue per household in New Jersey was supported by tourism in 2017.

“Tourism is an economic engine in Ocean County,” Vicari said. “Its success is a collaborative effort of marketing strategies, working with the state, working with

Chambers of Commerce all getting the word out on all the great things that make Ocean County a great vacation spot.”

According to the State, the tourism sector generated $38.7 billion of state Gross Domestic Product in 2017, representing 6.7 percent of the entire state economy.

The tourism industry statewide accounted for $45.4 billion in economic impact – an

increase of more than 2.9 percent over the previous year.

“Every tourism dollar recirculates seven times,” Vicari said.

Including indirect and induced impacts, tourism in New Jersey generated $10.5 billion in government revenues last year, including $4.8 billion in state and local tax revenues, according to the State.

In Ocean County, lodging brought in $1.47 billion, food and beverage sales totaled $1.16 billion and almost $1 billion in retail sales.

“Ocean County has a lot to offer,” Vicari said. “We want people to come back year after year and we make every effort to keep Ocean County inviting and welcoming.”

“The Situation” Talks Addiction, Recovery And Hope

By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino shared his experiences with addiction at the Finding HOPE for Life Support Group Meeting recently at Holy Cross Lutheran Church.

The discussion was moderated by Steve Willis, co-founder of HOPE Sheds Light, a local nonprofit dedicated to educating families on the disease of addiction by creating awareness.

“We want to do our part to remove the fear and the stigma of this disease by offering a loving and safe environment that leads families to wellness, and the community as well,” said Willis.

Finding HOPE is a support group that meets the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at the Holy Cross Lutheran Church, where anyone can go to get or give support to those dealing with the disease of addiction.

At the meeting, Sorrentino, accompanied by his fiancée Lauren Pesce, shared their journey through addiction and recovery, which transformed “The Situation” into somewhat of “The Inspiration.”

You may remember Sorrentino from his infamous rise to fame on MTV’s Jersey Shore, where his character “The Situation” was known for partying hard. What you may not have known was that he also battled with addiction to prescription painkillers for five years following the end of the show.

Now clean, Sorrentino credits the Discovery Institute for Addictive Disorders and Pesce for his accomplishment. Discovery encouraged him to “put all hands on deck” and do whatever it takes to be clean.

“I’ll be honest, I hated everything about it [rehab],” joked Sorrentino. “But…I wanted better for myself and I was going to do whatever it takes to get there.”

“I am responsible and accountable for my decisions in life, and no one is coming to save me,” he added.

Sorrentino went through about a full year of treatment with Discovery, a combination of inpatient, outpatient, and one-on-one counseling. He said that he stuck to it and gave it his all, which helped him come out the other side.

One thing that treatment helped Sorrentino to do was face “the wreckage of his past,” and all

of the bad decisions he may have made while using. He remarked that someone who has suffered with addiction, who wants to recover, is eventually going to have to face his/her past, just as he did, so they can move forward.

“I had to humble myself, I had to educate myself, I had to understand that I didn’t know everything,” said Sorrentino on the start of his recovery.

His first step to fight some of the negativity during the beginning stages of recovery, he said, was to be a better person. “It costs zero dollars to be a kind person.”

Sorrentino also noted that his “obsessive personality” made it difficult to stay on the road to recovery. “I had to get to the root of it [the problem],” he said.

A popular theme of Jersey Shore was their schedule of GTL or Gym, Tan, and Laundry.

Sorrentino remarked that during his recovery he altered that schedule to GTM: Gym, Tan, and (recovery) Meeting.

Sorrentino’s fiancée also spoke about how their relationship also contributed to his recovery. Pesce and Sorrentino dated during college around 2004. After going their separate ways for some time, they came back together in 2013.

Pesce said she knew Sorrentino “while he was actively using.”

She explained that Sorrentino would go through stages of doing great and then relapsing while he was using. “He would relapse, and he would relapse hard, and it would be devastating; I stuck by him through that, it was not easy,” she said.

Pesce shared her own experiences with addiction, having a younger brother succumb to an overdose four years ago. This experience helped her to work on herself and embolden her to be a contributing factor to Sorrentino’s recovery.

She accompanies Sorrentino to his recovery meetings and work events, noting “I try to be a layer of support for him.”

“I live right now with new purpose, peace, and integrity,” said Sorrentino. “I don’t lie, I don’t cheat, I don’t steal, I don’t drink, I don’t drug…I don’t even speed,” he joked.

Sorrentino remarked that he wouldn’t have dreamed that he has become the person he sees himself as today and he is grateful.

By Jennifer Peacock POINT PLEASANT – A Point Pleasant contractor has been charged with theft.

Salvatore Mattiaccio, who owns Level and Square Construction and Remodeling LLC, 3105 Bridge Ave., was charged with third-deg ree thef t for keeping $40,000 after a woman cancelled her contract with him within the mandated three-day cancellation period.

Authorities said the woman became skeptical of Mattiaccio, with whom she signed a contract to raise her f loodzone located home. She hand delivered a cancellation notice to the Br idge

Avenue location after she reviewed the contract with her attorney. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Off ice reported that the contract stipulated that the deposit would be returned within 30 days of cancellation. The unnamed woman never got her deposit back.

Mattiaccio was out on probation for an unrelated matter, in which he was convicted of two counts for violating the Contractor Regisration Act in February.

The prosecutor’s office is asking anyone with information on Mattiaccio to contact Detective Stephen Shadiack at the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027, ext. 2618.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUNE 2 - JUNE 9

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): You may need a factual transfusion to offset fantasies and confusion. As this week unfolds you can avoid conflicts by communicating clearly. You instinctively gravitate toward those who have your best interests at heart.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make the Memorial Day weekend memorable. It isn’t necessary to spend a lot of money to have a good time as fellowship is the key ingredient.

A partner’s romantic ideas can make your time together heavenly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Accept compliments and the generosity of others with good grace in the week ahead. Remain alert for unexpected assistance from a co-worker.

Focus on ways to make improvements or solve a long-standing problem.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Win brownie points by being diplomatic and tactful. Someone close may be preoccupied with a project. Be prudent with your pennies because you might need more money than anticipated in the week to come.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may feel driven to make your goals a reality in the week to come. Take some time out to relax during the holiday weekend. Once the work week begins again you may be pressured to perform at a high level of efficiency.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Minor criticisms can help you make major improvements.

In the week ahead, you should listen to the advice of others since they may see flaws you don’t notice. Count on enthusiastic support from family members.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Speak up for yourself. If you are too bashful to ask for your fair share, it will most likely go to someone else who is. Family dynamics may involve intense issues in the week ahead, creating the need for a united front.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Lay out the red carpet for visitors and treat co-workers like family in the week ahead. Your willingness to be generous and congenial, even when placed under a great deal of pressure, is likely to win approval.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It may not pay to focus on mere material success.

Some money-making ideas may seem enticing in the week ahead, but paying the bills comes first. Pass up anything that involves cleaning out your piggy bank.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Loved ones might not share your intense ambitions as this week unfolds, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t cherished and respected. Remember to appreciate those who support you, no matter how busy you may be.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pull a few strings behind the scenes. Use your people skills in the week ahead to ensure that group activities run smoothly. Check your accounts so you have a clear picture of exactly where your dollars are going.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t fall for the delusion that you can pull off an illusion. You might bask in a rosy world of fantasy this week, but the world expects you to attend to business as usual. Enjoy holiday outings then get back to work.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Making Memories: Set A New Standard For Creative Summer Grilling

By Wolfgang Puck GRILLED SZECHUAN-MARINATED FLATIRON STEAKS WITH CHILI-GARLIC GLAZED VEGETABLES Serves 4 SZECHUAN-MARINATED STEAKS: 1 cup (250 mL) soy sauce 3/4 cups (185 mL) honey 1/2 cup (125 mL) Worcestershire sauce 1/2 cup (125 mL) mirin or sweet sake 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped garlic 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped shallots 1/4 cup (60 mL) tomato ketchup 1/4 cup (60 mL) lemon juice 1/4 cup (60 mL) sambal (bottled chili-garlic paste) 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning 2 thick slices ginger root, smashed 4 flat iron steaks, or skirt or flank steaks, each 8 ounces (250 g) Kosher salt CHILI-GARLIC GLAZED VEGETABLES: 1/4 cup (60 mL) good-quality low-sodium chicken stock or broth 3 tablespoons bottled oyster sauce 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine or pale dry sherry 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon sambal (bottled chili-garlic paste) 2 tablespoons peanut oil 8 fresh shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and quartered 8 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) pieces

2 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) pieces) 4 small heads baby bok choy, trimmed and quartered lengthwise 1/2 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) slices Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish Chopped fresh scallions, for garnish For the Szechuan-marinated steaks, in a large nonreactive bowl combine the soy sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mirin or sake, garlic, shallots, ketchup, lemon juice, sambal, black pepper and ginger, and whisk thoroughly. Transfer to a nonreactive container just large enough to hold the steaks flat, side by side. Add the steaks, and turn them in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours, turning the steaks two or three times.

Build a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high.

Remove the steaks from the marinade and season on both sides with a little salt and pepper. Grill until medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set aside on a platter, covered with foil, to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

While the steaks are resting, cook the chili-garlic glazed vegetables: In a small mixing bowl, prepare a glaze by stirring together the chicken stock or broth, oyster sauce, rice wine or sherry, sugar, minced garlic and sambal. Set aside.

Heat the peanut oil in a wok or a large saute pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms, asparagus, scallions, bok choy and red onion; cook, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are shiny and brightly colored, about 2 minutes. Add the glaze mixture and continue stir-frying over high heat until the vegetables are tender-crisp and evenly coated, 1 to 2 minutes longer.

To serve, arrange the vegetables on 4 heated serving plates.

Cut each steak crosswise and at a 45-degree angle into thin slices and fan them on top of the vegetables. Garnish with cilantro and scallions, and serve immediately.
