Barnegat Cracks Down On Overgrown Properties

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The Ocean County Fair, in its 71st year, still continues to amaze.

Rides, games, animals, and other excitement drew large crowds to the fair grounds.

It was scheduled for July 11 through July 15 at Robert J. Miller Airpark, Route 530 in Berkeley.

The 4-H continued to be a huge part of the fair. Families showed off the goats, ducks, rabbits, and other animals that they cared for in the months and years leading up to the fair.

Many were brought out by the family members and people were allowed to pet them (as long as they cleaned

How Police Use Social Media

By Jennifer Peacock Everyone old enough can remember walking into a post office and seeing those blackand-white, often deranged-looking eyes staring down at us from FBI Most Wanted posters. You could also see mug shots of wanted criminals flash across the TV screen or stare up from the pile of daily newspapers.

As those audiences and consumers dimin-

ish, the brick and mortar walls or black dots and white spaces that make newsprint have been for some time giving way to virtual walls of zeroes and ones.

Today, law enforcement agencies can use those IRL spaces but they can also speak directly to the public through Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and Instagram stories. It’s both cheap and effective.

By Kimberly Bosco BARNEGAT – Barnegat Township Committee members passed an ordinance that will impose fines on landlords and property owners who fail to comply with the township’s code for property maintenance.

According to Deputy Mayor Al Cirulli, the township has received multiple complaints about properties not being maintained.

The ordinance outlines that “All structures and land shall be maintained in a clean, safe, secure and sanitary condition as provided herein so as not to cause a blighting problem or adversely affect the public health or safety.”

The ordinance and its fines do not apply to mobile home communities in the township, which are privately owned.

Little Egg Harbor Prepares For Its Own Veterans Park

By Kimberly Bosco LITTLE EGG HARBOR – Township officials and VFW members came together recently to designate with a sign, the spot where the new Veterans Park will be built.

The site for the future park is located on four vacant lots, which are bordered by Radio Road, West Calabreeze Way, Falcon Drive and Grace Drive.

Continued From Page 1 A recent CNN.com report said that of those agencies that use social media, four out of 5 law enforcement officials use those connections to investigate crimes and collect data.

“It’s a home run for us,” Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Al Della Fave told Jersey Shore Online. Some days, his office’s Facebook posts reach 100,000 unique users. (You can be one of them by following facebook.com/OCProsecutor/) “What more could you ask for?”

Anyone who belongs to a local Facebook group knows all too well how people complain about speeding cars, a code enforcement visit, or an unkempt yard. The human need to gossip and belong to a group is too big a pull for people to resist, although there are always a few naysaying curmudgeons in the mix, and the lurkers who read everything but say nothing.

“You’ve already got a great amount of connectivity, and people do pick up the phone if they see somebody they know.

They’ll do it in a heartbeat. We found that out,” Della Fave said. Five years ago, there was no Facebook page for the Prosecutor’s Office. Today, that page has close to 22,000 followers, many of whom share information that he posts to that page. Local media outlets (including this one) follow that page, and rush to rewrite and post their own take on press releases from his office, to share far and wide.

“It keeps growing. We love it that it helps us engage the public,” Della Fave said.

601 Rt. 72 East • Manahawkin 609-549-3146

Manchester Township Police Department has Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts. Those are curated by Officer Joseph Fastige.

“Posts are primarily made to either request assistance from the public for various investigations, alert the public about any recent incidents, and let the public know of any upcoming traffic enforcement details. I also use social media to ‘share’ information from other departments,” Fastige wrote in an email to Jersey Shore Online. “I also found that it does not hurt to post funny police related memes or photographs of community landmarks to give people a break from the seriousness that usually comes with police work. The best thing we can do is be transparent with the community we serve and social media is the best way to achieve that goal.”

For instance, in their neighboring department in Lakehurst, that borough’s police foundation could have simply asked people to attend its annual golf outing, the foundation’s single fundraiser for the year. Instead, the department poked at fun at Sgt. Matt Kline’s two left hands.

“If you want to see Sergeant Kline attempt to play some golf, come on out to the Lakehurst Police Foundation’s annual golf outing. Maybe bring a helmet and some protective gear as well. We’ve seen him try to hit the ball and let’s just say, he thinks he’s better then he really is...” #KlineCantGolf It’s obvious the technology has changed the speed with which everyone can share information, police not excluded.

“We are able to get information out faster,

which means we’re are solving cases faster,” Fastige said. Smart phones keep their users connected throughout the day. “The second we post something regarding an investigation or incident, everyone who follows our social media accounts will know about it and starts spreading the word. This means that we are sharing more information now than we ever had in the past.”

For instance, the Toms River Police Department posted a photo of a man burglarizing a vehicle near Walnut Street. At press time, that post was shared from that Facebook page 753 times, and possibly hundreds more by local news outlets that write about and share that story on their web and social media pages, as well as groups on Facebook.

Barnegat Police Chief Keith Germain said that they’ve used social media to identify people or vehicles more than 25 times since they started to do it in 2011. They would post information and ask for the public’s help in cases of burglaries and thefts, as well as more serious crimes.

“Our social media following - especially Facebook - has allowed us to directly and efficiently communicate with our service population,” he said. “We now have nearly 10,000 likes on Facebook. It is not unusual for one of our posts to reach 10,000-20,000 people.”

But the department uses social media in other ways, too, for example, when they wanted to hire new officers.

“By boosting our post to New Jersey residents between the ages of 18-35 with an interest in law enforcement, we were able

to generate the most applications we’ve ever received as well as the highest number of applicants from underrepresented demographics in the available workforce,” he said. “This is critically important as we continue to pursue our goal of having a police department that is representative of our available workforce.”

Law enforcement can work actively or passively with other groups that don’t fall into traditional media. While Lakehurst and Manchester police departments said they don’t actively work with other groups to share information, the prosecutor’s office does see an ally in pages like Ocean County Scanner News (ocscanner.news), which has more than 16,000 followers on Facebook. That page, among others, recently shared another group of photos, this time two women wanted in a theft by Little Egg Harbor Police. OCSN commentary is sometimes, ah, colorful, but the page keeps its followers abreast of emergency and police activity and does share law enforcement information.

Dave Lansing, who with several other assistants runs OCSN, is on Della Fave’s media contact list.

“The public needs to see the value in all this social media sharing,” Lansing told Jersey Shore Online. Lansing’s page not only shares crime-related information, but practical information as well. His team was the first to report the standoff in South Toms River on May 31. They reported in real time on their Facebook thread what was being reported via scanners before (Police - See Page 14)

Continued From Page 1 According to Committeewoman Lisa Stevens, the park has not broken ground yet, the spot has just been marked.

“The township expects to move forward as soon as possible, hopefully by late summer, early fall. There are many factors involved,” said Stevens.

She added that she has met with various local veteran groups, such as the local American Legion Chapter, Local VFW members, the Cranberry Creek Veterans Group and

The 4-H is more than just animal raising, though. Kids showed off their projects on agriculture, sewing, science, and art.

People weaved through the 4-H tents, and made their way to tents set up by county offices as well as vendors. Shops sold candles, clothes, and jewelry.

Popcorn, funnel cake, empanadas, and other treats were for sale, or people could cool off with root beer and Italian ice.

Rides spun, looped, and raised into the sky. There was a truck ride where kids could pretend they were driving. And then there was the bumper car ride where they had total control.

others to discuss the park project.

The land that the park is to be built on is part of the Open Space/Green Acres fund, which has monies set aside for passive recreation. There is not an exact cost estimate yet as to how much the project will run the township, but Stevens noted that it will be partially funded via the Open Space fund as well as through fundraising.

“Since the township cannot do fundraising, it will be up to the local Veterans Organizations to support the project,” she added.

While the project is still in the works, residents can expect to see a reflection area

honoring all branches of our Armed Forces, flag poles, plaques, walkways, sitting areas, and ‘green space’ for events when complete.

“The idea of a Veterans Park goes back at least 10-15 years ago. I have personally been working on it for 4-plus years now,” she said.

Stevens has a personal connection to the project, noting that before she moved to Little Egg Harbor some 17 years ago, every town she had lived in had its own Veterans Park.

“It’s just been a part of my life,” she said.

Another aspect of the project is to pro-

vide the veterans with “their own space” rather than just a memorial spot. With a population of over 2,000 veterans, it is well deserved.

While there is a small section at the Township’s Recreation Field that is already dedicated to veterans, officials and local veterans alike agree that the township needs a more appropriate space to this purpose.

The township does hold an annual Memorial Day Parade; however, it doesn’t even reach this section of the field. Since it does begin at Radio Road, a Veterans Park at this location would remedy that.

Games of skill and chance surrounded the rides. Darts, fishing, and rifle games were played to earn inflatable and stuffed toys. A barker would challenge people to guess their age.

The Sheriff’s Department had an inflatable device that released cool mist. On Thursday, the weather was sunny without being too warm, though. A quick flash of rain had hit in the mid-afternoon, hours before the fair opened.

That was just enough rain to hold the dust down, said John Horning, the yard manager. It took the edge off the heat and actually made the rest of the evening quite enjoyable.

“When the weather is good, we do good,” he said. Last year, he recalled losing at least one day to rain. That really hurts an outside activity that is so dependent on the weather.

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

Trenton’s Taxes Making New Jersey Unaffordable CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove

TRENTON – Following the conclusion of State budget deliberations which centered on how much to raise taxes, Sen-

ator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove reemphasized the

pressing need to control government spending and oppose extreme taxation policies that drive residents out of the state.

“While we certainly had our disagreements with Governor Christie, the bipartisan conversation with Democrats almost always centered on cutting taxes with the understanding that New Jersey is unaffordable for far too many taxpayers and businesses.

“Now, with one-party control of Trenton, a circus-like atmosphere took hold over budget deliberations as new tax and fee increases were proposed on a daily basis with no discussion or consideration, whatsoever, given to actually cutting state spending. It would be almost comical if the stakes weren’t so high for our state.

“Governor Murphy and the majority party legislative lead-

ership brought the state to the brink of another shutdown, not over if taxes should be increased but what taxes should be increased. Not only was this a disservice to residents whose lives would have been disrupted by a shutdown, but it demonstrated a failure to learn from past mistakes.

“Based on what we saw over the last month, it’s highly doubtful that tax increases in

the recently signed State budget will be the last. With no apparent interest in fiscal restraint, it’s a good bet that Trenton is going to look for even more revenue in the coming years to pay for more government spending.

“Should that be the case, our delegation, as always, will stand with our constituents and vote in the best interest of the 9th Legislative District.”

Bill Would Lower Postage On Military Care Packages From The Desk Of

Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd) introduced the Care Packages for Our Heroes Act to reverse unexpected postal rate hikes that have negatively affected nonprofit

organizations that send care packages to our servicemembers deployed overseas.

These rate changes are the result of the United States Postal Service (USPS) consolidating centers that pro-

cess APO/FPO military mail.

Previously, five of these centers were located throughout the country, but have now been consolidated into a single facility located in Chicago, Illinois. As a result, nonprofits and others wishing to send care packages to servicemembers must now pay the domestic postage rate from their location to Chicago, instead of the much more conveniently located centers they previously used.

“Nonprofits play a major

role in helping families and friends stay connected with loved ones deployed overseas,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur. “Because of rate hikes, some nonprofits will see a drastic increase in postage costs that will severely limit the number of packages they can afford to ship. This bill will reverse the rate increases and force the Postal Service to institute a flat rate for mail sent to an overseas military installation.”

“Care packages provide

much needed basic comforts and a morale boost to our servicemembers,” MacArthur continued. “I see letters all the time from men and women in the Armed Services thanking us for the packages and the continued support.

We owe it to our troops to reverse this unexpected decision and continue to allow nonprofits to provide these services.”

Local nonprofit Operation Yellow Ribbon of South Jersey applauded Congressman

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 opportunity 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. Opportunity Zones are low-income census tracts nominated by governors and certifi ed 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 permanent exclusion

MacArthur’s legislation.

“We’re grateful to see this legislation introduced to reverse additional expenses on mail being sent to our servicemembers overseas. This legislation will ensure that loved ones, family members, and military support groups and non-profits are not impacted by a logistics change to military mail service to overseas military bases,” Dave Silver of Operation Yellow Ribbon of South Jersey said.

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.

Elaine Taylor Howell Township Farmers Advisory Chairwoman

Jackson Doesn’t Need “Junk Yard” I was an observer at a recent Zoning Board meeting where a case was being heard regarding a proposed recycling site that would impact residents on Wright-Debow Road. My son presently owns a home off of this road and my husband and I lived close by in Millstone Township for 25 years and in Jackson Township prior to that

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?

AMI AtlantiCare Opens New Manahawkin Office

By Kimberly Bosco MANAHAWKIN – Manahawkin residents will now have a new state-of-the-art heath care facility with the opening of the newest AMI AtlantiCare office at the AtlantiCare Health Park on Route 72.

Alongside a full range of diagnostic imaging services in this new office, you can also find: • High-Field Anti-Claustrophobic MRI • Ultra 64-Slice CT Scanner with SafeCT • 3D Mammography • Ultrasound with Color Doppler • DEXA Scan • Digital X-ray “We are proud and excited to bring this partnership to the residents of southern Ocean County,” said AMI President/CEO Dr. David Levi. “Our goal is to provide patients and their referring physicians with unmatched technology, diagnostic imaging expertise, compassion and the highest quality care.

The new facility will be a part of the 60,000 square-foot building that was opened June of 2017. It also includes primary and specialty care services, a lab, a community pharmacy, a café, and an outdoor garden area.

“We are thrilled to welcome our AMI colleagues,” said Vice President of AtlantiCare Physician Group and Regional Network Jatin Motiwal. “Having AMI in the Health Park will make it more convenient for patients to access the quality radiology services they need and deserve.”

FINE-TUNING REPLACEMENT LENSES While cataract surgery is a very quick, safe, and effective way to replace a patient’s clouded lens with a clear, man-made lens, it does not guarantee 20/20 vision. In some cases, cataract-surgery patients will require eyeglasses or contact lenses to improve their eyesight.

However, a new FDA-approved intraocular lens can overcome this potential shortcoming. This new replacement lens can be adjusted within 17 to 21 days after cataract surgery in an in-office procedure that only requires that the ophthalmologist deliver ultraviolet (UV) therapy to the new lens. Depending on the amount of adjustment needed, patients receive three to four light treatments (each lasting 40 to 150 seconds) over a period of one to two weeks.

Clouded vision caused by cataracts can make it more difficult to read, drive a car, especially at night, or see the expression on a friend’s face. Most cataracts develop slowly and don’t disturb your eyesight early on. With time, cataracts will eventually interfere with your vision, but the condition is easy to correct. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE World Hepatitis Day: Officials Urge Testing

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County recognizes World Hepatitis Day on July 28 this year; acknowledging the disease that affects approximately 4.4 million Americans right now, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver, commonly caused by a viral infection. Those 4.4 million Americans affected have either hepatitis B or C. Some others don’t even know that they have hepatitis.

Ocean County offi cials remind residents that it is important to get tested if you are concerned about this disease.

“Testing, which starts with a doctor’s exam and often a simple blood test, has the potential to save many lives,” said Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little. “Accordingly, the Ocean County Health Department offers free hepatitis C testing and also provides clinic services for hepatitis B to insure our Ocean County residents have the resources to confront this disease.”

Little also noted that chronic hepatitis B or C can lead to more serious health problems and could put you at risk for chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

“Treatment options vary depending on which type of hepatitis you have. You can prevent some forms of hepatitis through

immunizations and lifestyle precautions,” said Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator Daniel E. Regenye.

Hepatitis B is transmitted through contact with infectious body fluids containing the hepatitis B virus (HBV). You can contract this disease through injecting drugs, having intercourse or sharing razors with an infected person, officials said.

“It is estimated by the CDC that 1.2 million people in the United States and 350 million people worldwide live with this chronic disease,” said Regenye.

Hepatitis C comes from the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which can be transmitted through direct contact with infected body fluids, such as through injection drug use and sexual contact.

“HCV is among the most common blood borne viral infections in the United States.

Approximately 2.7 to 3.9 million Americans are currently living with a chronic form of this infection, pursuant to statistics provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” Regenye added.

The Ocean County Health Department provides clinic services that emphasize active treatment and management of the disease to prevent worsening outcomes.

For more information about hepatitis, visit the OCHD website at ochd.org.

Attitude and Motivation: Facilitating Addiction Recovery Through Exercise

By Constance Ray Motivation and a healthy attitude can be powerful allies for someone who’s trying to recover from addiction. Exercise and an allaround healthy routine activate endorphins that make you feel good and contribute to a general sense of well-being, producing the attitude and motivation necessary to battle drug and alcohol addiction.

Regular exercise helps the body recover from the physical and emotional effects of withdrawal, and eases the painful process of addiction recovery. A positive attitude can make the difference between staying true to your treatment program and lapsing into negative tendencies.

Fortunately, you don’t need a personal trainer or an elaborate personal gym to get the exercise you need. Sixty minutes of physical activity three or four times a week will produce positive effects that leave you feeling successful in your recovery plan and motivated to keep it up.

Consistent effort Regular, consistent effort, a commitment to making progress and a desire to feel better motivate people in recovery to exercise.

Exercise leaves less time for self-destructive activity and lessens the likelihood of a relapse. It also gives many people in recovery the structure they need to focus on positive activities and what they need to do to turn their lives around. Organization and a sense of purpose can facilitate psychological and physical healing.

Positive thoughts People suffering from addiction often haven’t experienced the personal satisfaction that comes from achieving goals and taking positive steps toward a better life.

Exercise instills a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that can make a big difference for someone struggling to avoid giving in to temptation. Exercise helps you better manage stressors, triggers and cravings. Studies have shown that positive expectations and good feelings helps ward off negative urges and contributes to positive treatment outcomes. If you exercise as part of a group, the social interaction also contributes to positive treatment outcomes by providing an emotional support system that’s often lacking.

Effective exercises You can realize positive results without having to commit to a regimen of high-impact exercises. Starting out with a routine that’s too strenuous may cause you to quit and leave you vulnerable to negative thoughts, feeling as though you failed. Begin with simple cardio exercises that you can easily do for 30 to 60 minutes a day.

Remember, steady, regular progress is the key to long-term success. Walking, jogging, cycling and swimming can produce the positive feelings you need to maintain a positive attitude about your recovery, enhance self-esteem and reduce cravings.

When you’re feeling confident about your exercise routine, consider trying something more vigorous like running or strength training. It can take a little time to get your body accustomed to running but once it is, you can expect to experience what’s commonly known as the “runner’s high,” in which your brain releases dopamine, serotonin and other pleasure-inducing chemicals. It’s also an effective way to

repair the damage that addiction does to the brain’s pleasure centers.

Strength training Exercising with weights, resistance bands and kettlebells is also beneficial because it can help you overcome insomnia, a frequent problem among people recovering from

substance abuse. Push-ups and sit-ups can also produce the same effect. Team sports can also be helpful by supplying you with a strong sense of camaraderie and belonging.

These are powerfully reaffirming sensations that make you feel supported in your efforts to stay clean.

Addiction recovery is a physical and emotional ordeal and many people don’t succeed. Exercise gives you confidence and boosts bodily healing, which are important factors that help you stay with your recovery program. Besides, it can be fun and personally rewarding.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Possible Prevention Of Hearing Loss Through Better Nutrition

Research seems to confirm a relationship between a healthy cardiovascular system and hearing health. As most of you know, optimal nutrition should be based around “whole foods” - fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts, vegetable juices and virgin olive oil. The jury is still out in regard to meat and dairy products, but it is quite clear that meats in general should be free of hormones and antibiotics. “Dead” foods (anything preheated, refined/processed), all processed vegetable oils, margarine, genetically modified products and aspartame (Equal, Nutrasweet) should also be avoided, particularly if microwaving.

Although I am not a nutritionist, nutritional supplements are probably appropriate for most people. Even though supplements alone cannot provide a complete range of micronutrients that our bodies need to function optimally, they are necessary to counteract basic nutritional deficiencies

due to poor eating habits, to treat current health problems, to enhance the immune system and to counteract any nutritional losses due to prescription medications.

Possible supplements might include Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B Complex, Folic Acid, Magnesium, Zinc, Ginkgo Biloba, garlic and fish oil. Other substances such as coenzyme Q10, DHEA, Melatonin and Alpha-Lipoic Acid might be appropriate also. Regular exercise is vital for both cardiovascular fitness and better hearing health.

Research clearly confirms that if we eat right and exercise daily, our overall health will be improved. Although prevention of hearing loss as a function of aging cannot be completely stopped, there are certainly ways to “slow down” the process. The combination of a nutritionally optimal diet, exercise and appropriate hearing aids will lead to a more active lifestyle and improve quality of life.

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!

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

Wife Has No Time For Me 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.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

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

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Little Egg Harbor Location

NOW OPEN!

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.

Bringing Suicide Out Of The Darkness

By Bob Vosseller PLUMSTED – Making a difference, providing awareness and raising money were the goals of a unique fundraiser held at the Laurita Winery recently. The fundraiser was hosted by Jennifer Hansen, founder of Mettamade Yoga Events as a benefit for the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention.

Hansen’s Out of the Darkness Suicide Prevention yoga event was planned prior to the shocking suicide deaths of designer Kate Spade and TV chef Anthony Bourdain. Their deaths once again brought to the forefront the topic of mental illness.

Around 50 people took part in the $30 a ticket event and all proceeds went to the AFSP. Hansen said “this is my fi rst fundraising event for this specific cause, but I also host charity events for dog adoption agencies through the organization Doggy Noses and Yoga Poses. I hosted this event because a client of mine reached out to me with her story and how she wanted to raise money and awareness.”

Hansen’s client, Arielle Disick of Millstone Township, had a personal reason for attending the benefit. “I lost a friend to suicide. I think about him every day. I think about the time we spent together and the happy memories we shared. What was he going through in those times? What didn’t I see? How could I have helped?

“There are so many times I wish he was here to give advice, to celebrate with, or to console me. Am I doing him justice by sharing his story like this? Would he want it told at all? I don’t know the answer. And that’s okay - because if the money we raise means one more friend will not have to

say goodbye, one less sister will not have to go on without her older brother looking out for her, one less parent will not have to plan a funeral for their child, then we will have made a difference.”

She added that she did not want to see her late friend’s legacy be linked with suicide. “He was so much more. I think of how much pain he must have been grappling with. It was not his choice.

You don’t wear mental illness as you do physical diseases. He was so selfless. He had all that pain going on and was always willing to help others.

“That is why having this fundraiser was important but it wasn’t just about raising money but bringing about awareness. I’d rather have 100 people donate a dollar than one person donate $100.”

Disick said after the event that “the event raised $1,040. Jen and I fi rst started talking and planning about this event in January and I am very happy with the result.”

She added that mixing the message of suicide prevention awareness and yoga was a natural according to the philosophy of Mettamade. “Jennifer has been an absolute angel with this event. Advocacy for mental health is so important.”

“We need to have the difficult conversations, we need to raise awareness, and we need to end the stigma around mental health issues,” Disick said.

While Disick’s story inspired the local event, it was only her fi rst effort to help AFSP. She will be training this summer for the Chicago Marathon and run its 26.2 miles course for the organization.

To help Disick reach her fundraising goal, which are 100 percent tax deductible

and will be fully matched, you can donate online. “The more awareness we raise, the stronger our impact,” Disick said. The link to her donation page is afsp.donordrive. com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive. participant&participantID=1515378.

AFSP New Jersey Director Elizabeth Roithmayr-Clemens recently attended AFSP’s annual Advocacy Forum in Washington D.C. Suicide Prevention Programs and Initiatives.

“I traveled to Washington, D.C. along with more than 225 AFSP advocates from all 50 states to educate Congress on priority areas to help improve mental health and prevent suicide,” Clemens said.

“We provided information to all 535 Congressional offices urging them to support legislation in five key areas that would play a vital role in preventing suicide and improving mental health across the country,” Clemens said.

The five key areas include increased funding for suicide prevention research, insurance coverage for mental health and substance use conditions, military and veteran suicide prevention, preservation of funding for suicide prevention programs and increased funding for the National Suicide Prevention (800-2738255 [TALK]) and Crisis Centers.

Suicide Prevention Programs And Initiatives • In 2004, the New Jersey legislature established the Youth Suicide Prevention Advisory Council (“Council”) to advise and make recommendations to the Department of Children and Families (DCF) for youth suicide reporting, prevention and intervention. DCF is the lead agency

for youth suicide prevention in the state and provides staff support to the Council.

• New Jersey Law charges DCF with developing and adopting a statewide youth suicide prevention plan, in consultation with the Council and the Department of Human Services; see the New Jersey Strategy for Youth Suicide Prevention (2015), bit.ly/2FGp64R. • Funded by DCF, the Traumatic Loss Coalitions for Youth Program at Rutgers-University Behavioral HealthCare offers support to professionals working with school-age youth and provides suicide prevention and trauma response assistance to schools after a loss.

• The NJ Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services’ Suicide Prevention Committee developed the state’s Adult Suicide Prevention Plan 2014-2017, bit. ly/2DwSJj7. The Suicide Prevention Committee has overall responsibility for implementing, monitoring, and evaluating the plan.

• New Jersey law requires that public school teaching staff members complete at least 2 hours of suicide prevention instruction per professional development period; instruction must be provided by a licensed health care professional with training/experience in mental health issues. The law also requires educators to report when they believe that a student has attempted or completed suicide; requires that suicide prevention be included within elementary, middle, and high school curriculum); and that institutions of higher education have health care professionals available 24 hours a day who focus on reducing student suicides and attempted suicide.

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 fi nd 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.

–Map courtesy Ocean County The yellow land on this map is the property being preserved. Anderson Road is at the top of it. The orange parts are land that is already preserved.

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-of-Jacksonowned Francis Mills Park. This will adjoin their 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 Trust Fund Advisory Committee, 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. The county gets two appraisals from two independent assessors

to value the properties, and never offers to pay more than that highest appraised value, Bartlett added.

Freeholder Director Gerry Little said in May that in a county that’s 408,000 acres, about 60 percent of it is permanently protected against development through Pinelands regulations, state parks and 21,000 acres preserved through the natural lands and farmlands programs.

“Approximately 60 percent of the county is permanently preserved, which is protecting our watershed, which is protecting our quality of life,” Little said. “We will never become an urban area. That’s our goal, to preserve our quality of life for all of us here today, and for our children and generations to come.”

All 33 county municipalities approved the creation of the Natural Lands Trust Fund back in the late 1980s. A cent-and-a-half is taken from every $100 property valuation and put into the trust fund.

How To Recognize Subtle Signs Of Domestic Abuse

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Every minute some 20 people are physically abused by an intimate partner in this country, and one in three women and one in four men have been victims of some form of physical violence in their lifetime, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).

Intimate partner violence accounts for 15 percent of all violent crime, and women between the ages of 18 and 24 are most at risk.

Not all abusers are men, said Debbie Galletta, a licensed clinical social worker and program director at Dottie’s House, a transitional housing facility in Brick designed to aid women and children who have survived domestic violence.

“It’s not always a partner - sometimes it could be a mother or a brother, but the majority are intimate partners,” she said.

Abuse isn’t always physical, oftentimes it’s emotional or financial, and women don’t realize it’s abusive behavior, but coercive control is the underlying motive.

Emotional abusers humiliate, insult, put down, threaten, rebuke and control the victim, and keeps them on a short leash, that affects the victim’s self-esteem, which the abuser hopes will make the victim more dependent on them.

Over time, emotional abuse can erode the victim’s joy, sense of well-being and mental health.

Financial abuse is not always obvious to an outsider, but there is shame attached for the woman who has to account for every penny she spends, or ask for money to purchase basic necessities, even if she is the breadwinner in the relationship.

“Physical abuse is obvious, but if it’s emotional or financial abuse it might not feel like it’s abuse, especially if they grew up with it,” Galletta said.

It’s only through education, such as marriage counseling, that a woman might realize that her partner’s controlling behavior is a form of abuse, she said.

According to Karen Kirton, who is a case manager at Dottie’s House, many women say, “I know he was controlling with money, and he would put me down and call me names,” but they didn’t identify that behavior as abuse.

While each case is unique and each victim has varying amounts of support, Kirton said, it’s important to reach out to any resources she has.

If a woman is in an abusive relationship, she could first seek support from friends, family NEED AN EMERGENCY HOME REPAIR? WE’RE HERE TO HELP AT NO CHARGE

and professionals, Galletta said.

When there’s no housing available with family or friends, an abuse victim could reach out to social services, who might put the victim up in a motel for a period of time until she can find an affordable apartment, Kirton said.

Victims could call a national hotline at 800-799-HELP (7233) where highly-trained advocates are available 24/7 and have information on available resources.

“Oftentimes, a woman might return to her abuser because she has no means to take care of herself. She has no vehicle, no money, no job skills, and she might think, ‘Maybe he’ll change,’ ” Kirton said. “It’s better than living in the street.”

If there are children involved, they have their own issues, Galletta said. Many have experienced some kind of trauma and children as young as two can mimic the abuser’s behavior. Children need counseling to break the cycle and educate them, and sometimes child protective services gets involved.

If the abuser is the victim’s mother, the victim made need help in managing that relationship on her terms, and to step away when she needs to step away, Galletta said.

Emotional, spiritual, physical and financial recovery takes a long time. Women can live at Dottie’s House for two years. During the first year the women are getting over the crisis before working on themselves, she said.

Even when they have been away from their abuser for years, there is a danger they could go back, Galletta said.

“Abuse can be a form of addiction. In NA (Narcotics Anonymous) and AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), you learn how to stay away from the bar or a needle, it’s challenging for us,” she said. “A woman could go back and forth [into the abusive relationship] because she misses the companionship, especially if they have children together. Sometimes she’ll go into the dating world and she’ll get drawn back in to the same type of relationship.”

It’s difficult for loved ones to see a woman go back and forth to the same abuser, especially from someone who has offered the victim emotional and financial support.

Oftentimes those people shut the door for helping the victim in the future.

“It doesn’t matter to us, as professionals, but [family and friends] should try to listen and not judge because you don’t understand why she’s making the choices she’s making.

They may not understand. This is her life.

Always listen and be supportive, no matter what,” Galletta said.

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.
