First Aid Squad Fundraising For Equipment

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Christine Bennett-Fary wants the best for the Howell-Farmingdale Volunteer First Aid Squad, and she won’t rest until they get it.

Through a Facebook fundraiser, Bennett-Fary, the current vice president of the squad, is trying to raise $5,000 for up-to-date equipment for the squad, which is the oldest in town.

“We have the oldest Squad in town created in 1947, and in those 70 years we’ve seen many changes, but up until the last 15 or 20 it’s been a struggle to keep up,” she explained. “Especially now a lot of what we do is state monitored and mandated.”

As a part of the Howell Township EMS billing system, Bennett-Fary noted that the volunteer squad receives a small percentage of income from the one rig that is used to bill patients’ insurance.

Of four total rigs, this is the only rig that is used for billing; the other three are non-billing, she said.

“Unfortunately, what we do get from billing barely covers every day running expenses,” she

23 Acres Preserved In Jackson

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – The county is adding 23 more acres to its open space collection.

The Board of Chosen Freeholders approved the acquisition of 22.9 acres on Anderson Road in Jackson.

“It adjoins a 210-acre township-ofJackson-owned Francis Mills Park.

T his will adjoi n thei r park site,” Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. said.

“It will keep this land from being developed.”

The site was nominated to the Ocean County Natural Lands Tr ust Fund Advisor y Com mit tee, which then made the recommendation for purchase to the freeholders. The county will go ahead with the purchase only if Jackson Township agrees to that acquisition.

The county will purchase the land for $450,000 plus up to $1,066.00 for property tax adjustments.

Shore:

Continued From Page 1 potential hurricane damage, it will reduce it greatly, as far as direct ocean damage. Mitigating back bay f looding is a challenge that still needs addressing.

If Superstorm Sandy hit today, exactly how it hit in 2012, the outcome where the work is complete would be different. Mantoloking had the ocean attacking its homes directly, causing those homes to collapse. The back-bay flooding, which occurred in surrounding areas, f looded homes but didn’t knock them down.

“In the areas that it’s complete, like Mantoloking where that breach occurred, that was one of the first jobs we did…that [breach] won’t occur in those areas,” USACE Project Manager, Philadelphia, Keith Watson said.

“Again, these are storm damage reduction projects. So, I can confidently say the damages in Mantoloking would be greatly reduced from what occurred during Sandy if the same storm hit there again…Our projects take care of more energetic damages from the ocean side.

There’s other studies going on now on a regional basis about what can be done to reduce bay f looding.”

Ortley Beach, which had no dunes and “was probably one of the most vulnerable beaches,” also devastated by Sandy, will be in a similarly more-protected state as is Mantoloking now. The project should be completed there by the end of the year, Watson said.

(The work would likely have been completed before the summer shore season if not for the lawsuits, Watson had to add.)

Watson was one of three guests to speak at Stockton University’s “Jersey Shore Beach Report” down in Atlantic City recently. Dr. Stewart Farrell, e xe c u t ive d i r e c t o r of t h e C o a s t a l

Created on July 10, the fundraiser has only raised $355 of its total goal as of July 12.

“There’s even been weekends, rain or shine, they [the squad] were doing coin tosses at the Collingwood f lea market just to give us some better supplies and equipment,” said Bennett-Fary.

The funds, if raised, will be used to purchase two “tough tablets” to help facilitate the billing process, portable suction units for the rigs, and AED units.

The tablets can cost anywhere from $3,000-$5,000 each.

“The biggest issue we run into is…the supplies are costly! For example, pediatric AED pads, one set is approximately $100 and we need to have at least two sets for each of our 8 AED units. So you see some of the most important items put a big dent in our budget,” she said.

Research Center at Stockton University, and David Rosenblatt, assistant c om m is sione r of c on st r uc t ion a nd engineering for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, also spoke during a moderated talk by Dr. Michael Klein, the interim executive director of Stockton’s Hughes Center.

“The challenge now is to meet expectations for the future,” Rosenblatt said.

“We will also be focused more on the back bay and how to address concerns there.” The goal is to plan regionally and get away from “spot to spot” projects.

Not only does the squad require these costly pieces of equipment to function, but there is also the added cost of basic items like blood pressure cuffs, pulse oximeter, stethoscopes, and bandages that need to be accounted for as well.

Ideally, Bennett-Fary noted that the squad would like to invest in some mechanical upgrades and improvements to their communication systems as well.

Keeping all of this equipment up-to-date is essential to facilitate the work they do.

“I could go on forever with what we really need to do to continue running our squad but my biggest concern is having up-to-date and functional equipment so we can give the best possible service to our communities,” said Bennett-Fary.

The fundraiser is still ongoing via Facebook, administered by Bennett-Fary. If you would like to donate, you can do so at facebook.com/dote/1759339277483874 /10157025691093274/.

The squad is always looking for more volunteers as well.

Local Lawmakers: Trump Needs To Be Tougher On Putin

By Chris Lundy

OCEAN COUNTY – Local leaders stated that President Donald Trump needs to be tough on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Our nation’s Department of Justice indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers for meddling in the 2016 election. Clean and fair elections are the bedrock of our more than 200-year-old democracy. The United States, especially the President, should take any foreign government’s attempt to influence election results as a threat to our democracy itself,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd).

“I take issue with President Trump blaming the state of our relationship on our supposed ‘foolishness and stupidity.’ Our relationship with Russia is strained because of Vladimir Putin’s actions. He has invaded his neighbors, attacked America’s allies, and interfered with our elections and the elections of our closest allies. Putin is a corrupt, murderous thug and cannot be trusted. He is a threat to global security, and we need to remind our friends and our foes that the United States stands strongly opposed to this autocratic

kleptocrat,” MacArthur continued.

Speaking on Fox News, Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th) described how foreign powers are often trying to hack into government computers.

“I do think we have to be very aggressive with the Russians, and say ‘We want full accountability,’” he said.

He suggested that the 12 officers should be “red noticed,” so that any time they travel, they would be flagged and would be intercepted.

Smith said he and other American lawmakers met with Russian leaders, and “pressed hard” on Russia’s crimes in relation to Crimea, the Ukraine, and human trafficking.

When he asked about meddling in the elections, the Russians denied it. However, Pyotr Tolstoy, the vice speaker of the Duma (Russian Congress), talked about the chaos that 13 hackers can do. Interestingly, he said 13 instead of 12, Smith noted. Tolstoy reportedly told him: “What happens if we had 26 hackers?”

Smith said he thinks Trump will heed warnings to be strong on Russia.

AMI Foundation 10th Annual Tools For Schools Drive

By Kimberly Bosco

NEW JERSEY – The AMI Foundation will be collecting school supplies at all their locations to benefit students in need until August 20.

AMI’s “Tools for Schools” event intends to collect the necessary school supplies for those students who might not be able to get them.

The supply drive will run from July 23-August 20 at all of AMI’s locations in Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean and Monmouth counties. There will be blue collection baskets in each reception area. You can find the office closest to you at atlanticmedicalimaging.com.

“There are many children right here in our own communities who are not properly prepared for their return to school, simply because they lack the basic supplies like pencils and paper,” said Dr. Peggy Avagliano, President of the AMI Foundation Board of Directors. “We invite the community to join our physicians

and employees in donating much-needed school supplies, and thus help provide these children with an equal opportunity at a quality education.”

If you wish to donate, the supplies needed include: • Pencils • Erasers • Spiral notebooks • Pocket folders • Crayons • Colored markers • Colored pencils • Glue sticks • Highlighters, and • Soft pencil cases.

The AMI Foundation also purchases back packs in addition to the school supply donations. Following the supply drive, the supplies and book bags will be delivered to elementary schools throughout the area.

To date, the AMI Foundation has donated 2,500 back packs to area school children in need.

New Jersey Vows Zero Tolerance On Hate Crimes

By Jennifer Peacock

TRENTON – Government and law enforcement officials met at State Police Headquarters in Trenton Monday for their annual meeting with religious leaders to discuss concerns including bias crimes, houses-of-worship security, and general well-being to all who live in and travel to the Garden State.

New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal stressed his office’s stance against hate crimes, that such acts of bias will not be tolerated in New Jersey. Religious leaders honored Grewal with an appreciation award for his commitment to the state’s interfaith communities.

Among the officials in attendance were

Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato and OCPO Public Affairs Director Al Della Fave.

Lakewood Committeeman Meir Lichtenstein and Rabbi Avi Richler, who represented 58 Chabad centers around the state, also spoke.

“With summer upon us and rising temperatures, we in law enforcement must be reminded to exercise tolerance, understanding and compassion,” Coronato said. “This annual meeting helps tremendously in educating front line officers to the many diverse cultural differences they will encounter in the coming months during the course of their daily patrols.”

Amendments To Combat Anti-Semitism Adopted By International Assembly From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith BERLIN – Amendments sponsored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) that condemn increasing incidents of anti-Semitism, and call on countries to clearly define anti-Semitism and more effectively prosecute hate crimes, were adopted by an international assembly of lawmakers.

“Jewish communities and their members are fearful of verbal harassment and physical attacks. I call on participating States to adopt the working definition of anti-Semitism at the upcoming

Milan Ministerial Council in December,” Smith said.

Smith, in his leadership role as co-chair of the U.S. Helsinki Commission, headed the U.S. delegation of 13 Members of Congress to the 2018 Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE-PA) in Berlin.

More than 300 parliamentarians from 57 member countries in North America, Europe, and Asia attended the assembly, to discuss human rights, economic and security issues and adopt resolutions

to help shape and influence national and international policies on these matters. The countries collectively represent over one billion people.

Smith’s two amendments on anti-Semitism both emphasize the continuing problem of anti-Semitic threats and violence in OSCE member countries, and call on member countries to adopt the working definition of anti-Semitism at the Milan Ministerial Council in December.

The “working definition” of anti-Semitism was adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance in 2016, of which the U.S. is one of 31 member countries.

It states that “Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifes-

tations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/ or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”

Smith noted in his statement during the debate that “A clear definition of anti-Semitism enables a country’s judiciary and law enforcement to more effectively identify and prosecute threats and acts of violence against Jewish communities.” In the U.S., at a March 22, 2017 Congressional hearing that Smith chaired on “Anti-Semitism Across Borders,” Rabbi Andy Baker, the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office on Combating Anti-Semitism and Director of International Jewish Affairs for the American Jewish Committee, testified that without the guidance

of a working definition of anti-Semitism, “we have seen how real attacks on Jewish targets are still dismissed as politically-motivated incidents.”

Smith is the Co-Chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Taskforce for Combating Anti-Semitism. In Congress, he authored the provisions of the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act of 2004 that created the position of Special Envoy and the Office to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism within the U.S. State Department, and introduced the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism Act (H.R. 1911) to elevate and strengthen the position of the Envoy; the bill passed out of the House Foreign Affairs Committee in May. At a May hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Com-

Investors Meet On How To Reinvigorate Areas Of Ocean And Monmouth From The Desk Of Governor Phil Murphy NEWARK – Over 200 investors, economic developers and business and community leaders joined Governor Phil Murphy and U.S. Senator Cory Booker for an Investors Symposium on the new federal Economic Opportunity Zone Program. The event, hosted by Choose New Jersey at Rutgers University – Newark, is the first of many forums to ensure the State’s business community is aware of the new and innovative tools available to spur investment in the Garden State.

Opportunity Zones were sections of land chosen based on census data. They were located throughout the

state. Locally, they were chosen in Berkeley, Manchester, Lakewood, Freehold, Neptune, Asbury Park and Long Branch.

“Creating a stronger, fairer New Jersey begins with expanding oppor t u nit y equally across all communities,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “The Opportunity Zone Program will be a vital resource in stimulating long-term economic growth and investment in cities and towns that need it most, and more importantly, in generating economic opportunities for our residents.”

“Every community should have access to the resources needed to realize its

full entrepreneurial potential,” said U.S. Senator Cory Booker. “But barriers stand between too many of our communities and the capital needed to generate economic growth and opportunity.”

In December 2017, legislation authored by U.S. Senators Cory A. Booker (D-NJ) and Tim Scott (RSC) was passed into law after being incorporated into the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The “Opportunity Zones Program” is designed to spur economic development and job creation in designated Opportunity Zones.

Oppor t unit y Zones are low-income census tracts nominated by governors and certified by the U.S. Department of the Treasury allowing investors to direct capital into new projects and enterprises in exchange for certain federal capital gains tax advantages.

Governor Phil Murphy worked directly with U.S. Senator Cory Booker’s office, convened meetings and round tables with mayors throughout the state to receive feedback and input, and met with the New Jersey Congressional delegation to ensure a fair and transparent selection process. New Jersey Opportunity Zones are located in 75 municipalities, representing every county.

The Opportunity Zone initiative will be housed at the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs.

“Innovative new tools like the Opportunity Zone Program are the catalysts New Jersey needs to bring new investment to our communities in need,” said Jose Lozano, President and CEO of Choose New Jersey.

Opportunity Funds are private sector investment vehicles that invest at least 90 percent of their capital in

Opportunity Zones. Opportunity Funds provide investors the chance to put that capital to work rebuilding the nation’s low-income rural and urban communities.

Investment Incentives include: A temporary tax deferral for capital gains reinvested in an Opportunity Fund.

The deferred gain must be recognized on the earlier of the date on which the opportunity zone investment is sold or December 31, 2026.

A step-up in basis for capital gains reinvested in an Opportunity Fund. The basis of the original investment is increased by 10 percent if the investment in the qualified opportunity zone fund is held by the taxpayer for at least 5 years, and by an additional 5 percent if held for at least 7 years, excluding up to 15 percent of the original gain from taxation.

A per manent exclusion

mittee, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo promised Rep. Smith that he would move quickly to appoint a new Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism after Smith asked him to act to fill the vacant position.

Also at the OSCE-PA, Smith’s comprehensive resolution to create trafficking-free communities was adopted by the assembly.

It would encourage the 57 member countries to draw upon effective best practices for fighting trafficking developed in the U.S., including the creation of joint task forces, a unified trafficking hotline throughout Europe, and the training of employees who are likely to be in contact with trafficking victims to recognize possible trafficking cases and respond appropriately.

from taxable income of capital gains from the sale or exchange of an investment in a qualified opportunity zone fund, if the investment is held for at least 10 years.

(Note: this exclusion applies to the gains accrued from an investment in an Opportunity Fund, not the original gains).

The forum, moderated by Steve Adubato, included a panel of experts, including Margaret Anadu, Managing Director and Head of Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group; Christopher A. Coes, Vice President for Real Estate Policy and External Affairs, Smart Growth America and Director, LOCUS: Responsible Real Estate Developers and Investors; Steve Glickman, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Economic Innovation Group, and Evan S.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

E DITORIAL You Can Tell A Person’s Worth

By How They Drive I’ve noticed something recently, that nice people tend to be better drivers.

They are more likely to let someone pull in front of them. More likely to be cautious. More likely to drive slowly in residential areas. More likely to expect that there are kids at play.

The opposite is also true.

Aggressive people drive aggressively. Passive aggressive people are the worst – they’ll cut you off in a gentle motion, pretending not to even notice you.

People who multitask too much are checking their texts – or even playing a game – on their phones.

What are these people like once they step out of their car? Probably the same.

Look at the people who

are calm behind the wheel.

They’re not in a hurry.

They are not distracted.

Drivers who see the big picture are much safer. They see all the cars and prepare ahead for where everyone’s headed.

They’re not throwing trash out the window. They also expect that there are a few aggressive drivers and nutjobs on the road. They hope for the best and expect the worst.

So, if you’re always in a rush, speeding down the road and cutting people off, while talking on the phone and tossing cigarettes out the window, what does that say about you?

Tips On Being A Safe Driver I know summer is almost over and I should have written about this in June. Better late than never.

There was an interesting article in USA Today titled “Bike deaths spike in summer.” Although this was an article about motorcycle deaths, it applies to bicycles and other smaller vehicles as well.

“There are 300,000 motorcycle endorsements in NJ, and countless folks riding around with no endorsement.” That’s a lot of motorcycles. Now, add the number of bicycles, scooters and here, in the 55 plus communities, we can add a few motorized wheelchairs and walkers. That’s an awful lot of moving things on the road that happen to be smaller than our cars. If you drive a big car or an SUV they may be even harder to see.

Those of you who know me, know I ride a motorcycle. That makes me a little more aware of the traffic that’s bigger than me. Look for me. And what about bicycles? And those pesky pedestrians…they hardly make a decent speed bump if we run them over. I taught for the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Safety is in their name and it was always my biggest concern. It still is. Ask anyone on my EMS Squad. I am always saying that the first rule of being a first responder is Safety! Safety! Safety! I can’t say it enough. Be safe yourself and then watch out for others.

Most personal accidents occur in the home and many road accidents occur around the corner, maybe in your driveway. Our EMS has responded to many at stop signs, and even the ones in driveways and on front lawns. Take safety seriously. We don’t have anywhere to go that can’t wait a few extra minutes.

On the road, we tend to see only things our size or bigger.

So, “Officer, I never saw the bike (or pedestrian).” is a very common response after a car hits a bike (or pedestrian).

Many of these “non-sightings” account for the 81 motorcyclists’ deaths in NJ occurring in 2017. 49 of those happened

Letters To toThe Editor between June and Septemcome to the July 26 Farmers for many years. ber. Summer brings out the fair weather drivers and an increase in traffic to our beautiful Jersey shores. It is more congested and as our patience grows shorter, we become less observant. More people walk in the summer as well. Be on the lookout for things smaller than your car. It may be your neighbor. If you are a walker, a bicyclist, a motorcyclist or ride in anything smaller than a car, be on the lookout for your own safety. Although the car driver is legally at “fault” if he/she hits you, you are responsible for your own safety as well… you are the one who is injured or dead. Watch where you are walking. Parking lots can be dangerous. No matter what you drive or ride or where you walk be observant and courteous.

The craziest thing happens to me is when I drive a car, I find all smaller things are “stupid” like the person in a parking lot who comes out of my blind spot and keeps walking past the back of my car as I’m backing out. And when I’m walking that “stupid” car driver didn’t stop backing out of a parking spot as I’m walking behind his car. Isn’t it so funny how it all seems to makes sense? It is so clearly the other person’s fault, when you aren’t the other guy.

Please be careful, observant and courteous.

We need more volunteers.

There is no free EMS without volunteers. Consider joining one of our EMS squads for a year or 2, maybe 5. No experience necessary! You’ll be CPR certified, regular training, get a uniform, experience, and new friends. HCBEMS needs you.

Fire Inspections Changing For Farms There is much concern about the fire inspections scheduled by the township Fire Chief Robert Lewis.

As chairwoman of the Howell Farmers Advisory Committee, I have invited Chief Lewis

Advisory Meeting at 7:30 to explain to the farmers about the situation.

I sat down with Chief Lewis in a meeting and he went over some details with me about the inspections. I think it is better for everyone to come to the meeting, listen to what Chief Lewis has to say and ask their questions directly.

Basically, what he told me is that he and his assistants will be checking for: • Fire extinguisher present and with a current date of operational use. The fire extinguishers have to be available for use in a 75-foot radius of where a fire may break out.

If a building is 100 feet long, it would need 2 fire extinguishers.

• Exit lights operating if the buildings were built after 1977. Up to code.

• Any electrical issues, use of extension cords, and or unsafe situations.

• Hay storage with adequate circulation and proper storage.

The fee for the inspection will be $75 for the first building and Chief Lewis is requesting from the mayor and council a reduction to $25 for each additional building.

The chief told me that this inspection has become a statewide mandate as a result of a death of a worker living in an illegal dwelling on a farm in south Jersey.

Please come to the Farmers Advisory meeting and hear what Chief Lewis has to say and ask questions as well.

I heard my son speak passionately, as well as other residents on his block, about the many concerns they had with regard to environmental issues, truck and road safety issues, noise levels and other concerns that were apparent since this huge project of 48 acres would be turned into a “junk yard.”

All trees would be cut down and heavy equipment would be stored on this property as well as taken apart to sell off for parts. All that’s involved in draining oil and crushing metal using special machines and claws to compact these vehicles was presented as testimony by the company and their representatives. They refer to it as a “recycling center” which really is another term for a “junk yard.”

Whether you believe that this business would be good for Jackson Township or not, is certainly up for debate.

What I found most shocking was how the Zoning Board chairman and others treated the hard-working, tax paying residents of Jackson as if they were a nuisance and any worries that they had about their neighborhood and their home investments were inconsequential.

They listened attentively for hours to A & A Truck Parts’ presentation but only gave 5 minutes to residents and in many cases cut them off with snide remarks and limiting their inquiries to specific aspects of the project.

My husband was a previous member and chairman of the Jackson Zoning Board.

I remember him telling me that their job was to make certain that whatever business or project that wanted to come to Jackson had to be for the good and welfare of its citizens.

There are many Jackson citizens who are wondering why this township needs or wants another “junk yard?” How can we justify cutting down trees on 48 acres of property and destroying the quality of life of all the residents who live nearby and will be impacted by such a project?

Howell Corporal Retires After 28 Years

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Howell Township Police held a last call ceremony for Cpl. Kevin Steinard #172 upon his retirement from the force after 28 years. The last call ceremony was held on June 28 in preparation for Cpl. Steinard’s official retirement on July 1.

Fellow officers, administrative assistants, and other law enforcement personnel were present for his last call ceremony, where Cpl. Steinard gave an individual salute to each member, followed by a round of hugs.

Howell police posted a video of the ceremony to their Facebook page where you can see Cpl. Steinard’s last moments in uniform.

Beginning his law enforcement career in Manchester in 1989, Steinard then transferred to Howell where he served the next 28 years “with professionalism and pride,”

according to Howell police.

Not only was he an officer, but he also supported the Police Athletic League and Explorer Program, and acted as a field training officer, member of the Howell SWAT team, Honor Guard and a school resource officer.

“As a police explorer, I had the opportunity to go on ride-alongs with then Patrolman Steinard. His calm demeanor, professional conduct and knowledge of the job was always remarkable. He is the perfect example of a police officer. Being able to thank him and be part of his last day will always be a highlight in my tenure as chief,” stated Chief Andrew Kudrick in a social media post.

The members of the Howell Police Department wished Cpl. Steinard a happy and healthy retirement.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Stop Counting Carbs, Eat Kaempferol

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Sometimes a word annoys me, such as flavonoid and all the related words like it including bioflavonoid, bioflavones, flavonol, polyphenol, phytonutrient and oh my gosh you can see how confusing it is to say all those and they all basically mean the same thing: Antioxidant from a plant!

One amazing antioxidant, or flavonoid, or whatever you’d like to call it is kaempferol, pronounced “camp-fur-all.” This is what you’re eating when you bite into raspberries, apples, grapes or tomatoes. It’s also found in spinach, potatoes, onions, kale, endive, lettuce, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cucumbers, lettuce, green beans, peaches, blackberries, cranberries and green tea. One food with a lot of kaempferol is capers!

By now, you’re wondering why I’m talking about kaempferol. I’m tired of everyone talking about carbs, proteins and fats. None of us want to count calories or evaluate ratios of carbs, proteins and fats!

It’s much easier to just eat food that is bright and colorful and full of life-giving nutrients such as kaempferol. My vote is to stop counting carbs, just eat kaempferol. It’s a very promising and innocuous strategy to help with many disorders you’re suffering with: Colon Cancer There was a study in 2014 that proved some benefits from kaempferol in human colon cancer cells.

Food Poisoning This is gross but let’s face it, 50 million people worldwide get infected with Entamoeba histolytica. Transmission is pretty easy, it occurs by eating or drinking food or beverages contaminated with the organ-

ism, which comes from feces. Kaempferol (and quercetin) was shown to destroy the parasite.

Heart Disease A study found that women who have high intakes of kaempferol might be less likely to die of a heart attack. It works in part by preventing the oxidation, as in “rusting” of low-density lipoproteins.

Breast Cancer Breast cancer spreads with the assistance of some compounds in your own body called Matrix metalloproteinases, which we call MMPs for short. Kaempferol slows down cancer cell invasion into other cells (metastasis) by blocking MMPs, specifically MMP-9 expression. So eating foods rich in kaempferol would be a natural consideration for breast health.

Prostate Cancer In Biomedical Reports 2015, we saw that kaempferol could block prostate cell growth to some degree. Kaempferol has many chemopreventative characateristics, both in vivo and in vitro. Epidemiological studies suggest the more kaempferol you consume, the lower your risk of developing cancer.

Alzheimer’s disease.

Granted it’s a fruit fly study, but it still shows promise. The flies ate a diet rich in kaempferol for a month, and then they were evaluated for their ability to climb. You can guess the ones who consumed the diet highest in kaempferol had the best climbing ability, memory (however they figured that out!), and acetylcholine levels.

If you’d like to increase kaempferol in your diet, I’ve posted some recipes at my website including one for a Kaempferol Smoothie, and another for a kaempferol salad.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

HIC #13VH06729000

Dear Joel, My wife is really driven in her career.

She’s in real estate and is quite successful. I would love it if she’d slow down a little and take time to enjoy our lives together too. I know her work hours are all over the place but life shouldn’t be all about work, should it? What can I do to show her the slower side of life and encourage her to smell the roses?

Answer Summer is a great time to show her all the ways people enjoy themselves. Ask her to show you some of her properties, but tell her you’ll do the driving. Then, take the scenic routes pointing out things like boats on the water, the beach, the parks, etc. Stop for lunch at a waterfront

spot, all t he while remindi ng her how nice it is to spend time together. Then ask her for some of her time. Successful, driven people often need to be reminded of how they spend their time. You might also suggest a screen-free day. It’s a new growing trend in schools where families spend a day with no phones or tablets. Be direct. Tell her that her success is important but so is her personal life.

WORKING FEET

Working people whose professions require them to spend most of their time on their feet either standing or walking often develop a variety of foot complaints. Shoes that are worn during working hours should be designed to protect the feet from workplace hazards such as sharp objects and wet or slippery surfaces. Many companies suggest that workers wear particular types of protective footwear on the job. Purchasing appropriate and wellfitting footwear can help eliminate common podiatric complaints such as ingrown toenails, calluses, blisters, and foot fatigue. Studies show that workers whose feet are protected and comfortable tend to have fewer occupational injuries. These workers remain more attentive to their jobs because they are not constantly dealing with uncomfortable foot pain.

When your work activities leave your feet hurting, seek advice and treatment from professional foot care specialists. Whatever is causing pain in your every step, we’re here at FAMILY FOOT HEALTH CENTER, 4527 US Highway 9, to help. If you are new to the area and don’t have a podiatrist yet, we’d like to take on the responsibility of your family’s foot care, from overuse problems; sports injuries; inherited deformities; and just plain tired, achy feet. Call us for comprehensive, compassionate foot care at (732) 370-1100.

HINT: Wear new work shoes at home to be sure that they fit well before wearing them on the job.

Inside The Law What Are The Rules When Flying Drones For Fun?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Michael J. Deem of R.C. Shea and Associates Fly for Fun under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft!

You don’t need permission from the FAA to fly your UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, but you must always fly safely. You may elect to register your UAS to help in the recovery of lost equipment, but this is not required.

The FAA has adopted the following UAS Safety Guidelines: • Fly at or below 400 feet • Be aware of airspace requirements and restrictions • Stay away from surrounding obstacles • Keep your UAS within sight • Never fly near other aircraft, especially near airports • Never fly over groups of people • Never fly over stadiums or sports events • Never fly near emergency response efforts such as fires • Never fly under the influence of drugs or alcohol • Flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft.

The Special Rule for Model Aircraft (P.L. 112-95, Section 336) provides the definition and operating rules for flying a model aircraft. Model aircraft operators that comply with all of these operational requirements during flight do not have to register their UAS with the FAA. Model aircraft operators must follow these rules to fly under this Rule: • The aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or recreational use (once you start earning money from the use of the drone you have removed yourself from this exception); • The aircraft is operated in accordance with a community-based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization; • The aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds unless otherwise certified through a design, construction, inspection, flight test, and operational safety program administered

by a community-based organization; • The aircraft is operated Michael J. Deem in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft; and • When flown within 5 miles of an airport, the operator of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at the airport) with prior notice of the operation (model aircraft operators flying from a permanent location within 5 miles of an airport should establish a mutually-agreed upon operating procedure with the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower [when an air traffic facility is located at the airport]) A model aircraft is defined as an unmanned aircraft that is capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere, flown within visual line of sight of the person operating the aircraft and flown for hobby or recreational purposes.

UAS Registration.

If you do not operate exclusively under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, you must: • Register your UAS if it weighs more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds • Label your UAS (PDF) with your registration number and Read and understand all safety guidelines Registration costs $5 and is valid for 3 years. If you are flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft and you wish to register voluntarily, you should register as a “modeler.” If you are flying under part 107, Section 333, part 91, a public COA, or for non-recreational purposes in general, you should register as a “non-modeler.”

In order to register, you must be: • 13 years of age or older (if the owner is less than 13 years of age, a person 13 years of age or older must register the small unmanned aircraft) • A U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Be Wary Of Turtle Crossings During This Nesting Season

By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – When you take to the road, it is always important to be vigilant and safe; now more than ever, as nesting season is underway for turtles in New Jersey.

The Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) reminds drivers to be cautious and on the lookout for turtles that may be crossing the roadway to lay their eggs.

Turtles can sometimes travel long distances to fi nd the perfect spot in which to lay eggs. This means crossing roadways, which puts the turtles at risk of being struck by passing vehicles. The summer shore traffic also increases this risk. Turtles are particularly vulnerable because they are slow moving and their defense mechanism is usually to stop and withdraw into their shell when feeling threatened, according to the NJDEP. “With summer approaching, New Jersey’s turtles are on the move looking for nesting sites to lay eggs,” DEP Acting Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe said.

“This puts them in great danger as they frequently have to cross roadways to fi nd the right location. We encourage motorists to drive cautiously so the turtles can cross roads and arrive to their nesting destination safely.”

Turtle species that are currently on the move include: Eastern box, Eastern painted, wood and snapping turtles, and the Diamondback terrapin.

The diamondback terrapin is particularly at risk as NJ’s only saltmarsh turtle. The terrapin is at risk now due to habitat loss, drowning in crab traps, and vehicle strikes,

according to NJDEP. The loss of coastal habitat has increased mortality risk as diamondback terrapins search for these nesting areas, often located along roadsides, increasing the risk of vehicle strikes.

To protect the turtles during this nesting season, drivers should: • Keep a safe distance and an eye out for turtles in the roadway.

• Use caution when avoiding a turtle, don’t swerve or veer from the lane.

• Use proper signaling when pulling over to assist turtles crossing. Allow turtles to safely cross roads unaided if a lack of oncoming traffic allows them to do so.

• Avoid handling turtles, but if it is necessary, handle gently and not excessively. Most turtles can be picked up by the side of their shells near the mid-point of the body. Do not pick up a turtle by its tail, as doing so may frighten or injure the reptile. Wear gloves or wash your hands after handling.

• Move the turtle in the direction that it is heading. A turtle will turn around if it is put in the wrong direction.

• The safest way to assist snapping turtles is to use branches or similar objects to prod them along from behind.

• Never take a turtle into your personal possession.

• Do not disturb a nesting turtle and keep children and pets away from it.

Most turtle eggs will hatch in 60 to 80 days. A small cage can be placed around the nest to offer some additional protection for the fi rst 30 to 45 days, but it must be removed before the hatchlings emerge.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Savor The Summer: Enjoy The Season’s Tasty Tomatoes Thanks To These Easy Recipes

By Wolfgang Puck

We’re entering the height of summer’s tomato season. Right now, when I visit my favorite organic farmers, any friend’s home garden or a farmers’ market, I am thrilled to see an abundance of sun-ripened tomatoes of every size, shape and color.

I can’t get enough of tomatoes, and I’m sure you feel the same way. Whether they’re tiny grape tomatoes or jumbo beefsteaks, golden or orange, red or black, solid-hued or striped or blushing with multiple colors, tomatoes offer a robust meatiness, a refreshing juiciness and an unmatched combination of sweetness and bright acidity.

Of course, I like to eat sun-ripened tomatoes fresh in salads, such as an Italian caprese, overlapping sliced tomatoes with mozzarella and basil leaves, or a panzanella in which chunks of tomato are tossed with rustic crispy croutons and fresh herbs. Right now I also make lots of gazpacho, the refreshing cold soup of pureed tomatoes, olive oil, bread, garlic and herbs. Sometimes I’ll even pick up a big, firm (but ripe) tomato and eat it right out of my hand like an apple.

But, let’s be honest: The time may come when you start to feel like you’ve had too much of a good thing. That’s when I make my favorite tomato sauce to refrigerate or freeze. A basic sauce like this helps you make the most of a good harvest for days or months to come, using it in pasta sauces, soups, stews or braises or to add bright summery flavor and color to risotto, the popular Italian dish of creamy, al dente short-grained rice.

Whenever I cook with any fresh tomatoes larger than the bite-sized cherry variety, I usually remove their indigestible peels, slightly bitter seeds and watery seed sacs first to help me capture the purest essence of the tomato. It’s an easy step to accomplish.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and, nearby, place a mixing bowl filled with ice and water. With a small, sharp knife, score a shallow X in the flower end of each tomato and immerse the tomatoes in the water for about 20 seconds. Using tongs, a slotted spoon or a wire skimmer, immediately transfer them to the ice water. Drain them. Use your fingertips or the knife to peel off the skins starting at the X; cut out the cores; and cut each tomato in half, squeezing out the seeds or scooping them out with a fingertip or small spoon.

Now you’re ready to make my tomato sauce. The recipe that follows yields enough for my risotto and one or two more uses to help get you into the swing of enjoying summer’s bounty.

FRESH SUMMER TOMATO RISOTTO WITH SAUTEED SHRIMP Serves 2 6 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon shallot, minced 2 teaspoons garlic, minced 1 cup (250 mL) Arborio rice 1/4 cup (60 mL) dry white wine 2 cups (500 mL) chicken stock or good-quality canned chicken broth, brought to a boil and kept at a simmer 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) Fresh Summer Tomato Sauce (recipe follows) 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper 8 fresh jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined and

butterflied, tails left on 1/4 cup (60 mL) frozen green petite peas, thawed 1 large sun-ripened tomato, peeled, seeded, and diced 5 fresh basil leaves, cut into thin julienne strips 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley For the risotto, in a medium skillet heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and saute until soft but not yet brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice, and stir until well-coated with the oil. Stir in the wine and cook, stirring, until the pan is almost dry.

Using a 4-ounce (125-mL) ladle, add one ladle of the hot stock or broth to the rice. Stir until the stock has been absorbed and the rice looks almost dry. Continue adding more stock 1 ladle at a time, stirring after each addition, until the rice is tender but still firm and looks moist and creamy but not runny.

Stir in the fresh summer tomato sauce until thoroughly combined. Remove the risotto from the heat, and stir in the butter and the Parmesan cheese.

Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.

Immediately heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

Add the remaining teaspoon of minced garlic and the shrimp, and season to taste with salt and white pepper. Add the peas and cook, stirring continuously, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, 4 to 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, toss together the large diced tomato and the julienned basil, seasoning to taste with salt and white pepper.

Remove the shrimp from the heat, and stir in the parsley. Divide the risotto between two warm serving plates, and mound the tomato-basil mixture in the center of each. Arrange the shrimp and peas on top of the rice around the tomato. Serve immediately.

FRESH SUMMER TOMATO SAUCE Makes about 5 cups (1.25 L) 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 small yellow onions, minced 6 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons tomato paste 4 pounds (1 kg) fresh vine-ripened tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped 2 cups (500 mL) chicken or vegetable stock or good-quality canned broth, heated 4 tablespoons thinly julienned fresh basil Kosher salt, to taste Freshly ground black pepper Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat.

Add the olive oil and, as soon as it flows freely when the pan is tilted, add the onion and saute, stirring frequently until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, and stir for about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, and cook until they begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the stock and simmer briskly, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes.

If you want a finer-textured sauce (as preferred for the recipe above), place a fine-meshed sieve over a heatproof bowl, pour in the sauce, and press it through with a rubber spatula.

Stir in the basil, season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside. Store any unused sauce in an airtight nonreactive container in the refrigerator for two to three days or in the freezer for three to four months.
