Hankins Island: The Story Of One Family’s Private Island In The Barnegat Bay

By Judy Smestad-Nunn MIDDLE SEDGE ISLAND – Anyone who has ever been on a boat between the Mantoloking Bridge and the Seaside bridge in Barnegat Bay has probably noticed “The House on the Island” lo cat e d of f C h a dw ick Be a ch Island in Toms River Township, and visible from the mainland in Brick.

The program consists of boardwalk inspections to all establishments to make sure that retailers are operating stores and games safely and fairly. In order to promote a family-friendly environment, the Division of Consumer Affairs enforces game and price checks to keep business transparent and honest.

Hooray For Hollywood! In Ocean County

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Former Gov. Chris Christie yelled “cut” on movie industry tax incentives back in 2010 and let an attempted reauthorization die back in 2016. Variety, the entertainment business industry magazine, reported back in October that it was the governor’s dislike of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” that prompted the dropping of many industry-related tax incentives. (Recently, the show did return to Seaside Heights for a two-day filming stint, and was apparently filming scenes for an upcoming season in Atlantic City.

Brick Township rejected the shows bid to film there.)

But Gov. Phil Murphy signed (Hollywood - See Page 2)

Hollywood: Continued From Page 1 those incentives back into law with the Garden State Film and Digital Media Jobs Act on July 3, the benefits of which Ocean County fully plans to use.

The county approved members for its newly formed film and television advisory commission at a recent Freeholder meeting. Those members are: Tim Hart, Ocean County Historian; Toby Wolf, director of marketing, Jenkinson’s Boardwalk; Michael Redpath, executive director of Seaside Heights Business Improvement District; Liz Santoro, director of sales at Mainland Holiday Inn, Manahawkin, and Dana Lancellotti, division director, Ocean County Tourism and Business Development.

The county had established a film advisory committee in 1979. This commission replaces that.

Ocean County offers creative people miles of pristine beaches and boardwalks to the east, the Pine Barrens to the west, and a variety of exteriors in between.

Freeholder Joseph Vicari, who oversees tourism and business development in the county, sees a bright future for film and television here.

“Film crews, producers, and all the staffi ng that goes with this would fill hotels and restaurants. They would tap into and support local services and attractions and elevate the visibility of our tourism destinations,” Vicari said. “This is a great opportunity to present our diverse culture and landscape and showcase our attributes on a county website that is specifically designed to target and attract filmmakers.”

Despite its poor portrayal at times of life at the beach, “Jersey Shore” was an economic force in Seaside Heights during its filming in the borough. Again, Variety reported that the borough parking meter collection jumped from $807,000 prior to the show in 2007 to $1.3 million in 2010.

Area hotels, restaurants, car rental agencies, caterers, hardware stores, and dry cleaners cashed in from the show.

“The film and digital media industry is poised to become a dynamic part of New Jersey’s economy, one that will create good-paying union jobs and countless residual benefits to the economy,” Murphy said July 3. “By signing this legislation, we are allowing these companies to take advantage of New Jersey’s unique culture, location, and geography. I look forward to seeing the many projects that will come out of our great state thanks to the Garden State Film and Digital Media Jobs Act.” “The Ocean County Film and Television Advisory Commission will advise, serve as liaison and collaborate with the current New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Development Commission to effectively promote and proactively pursue film industry projects to take place in Ocean County,” Vicari said. “This would contribute to economic growth, create job opportunities and elevate the visibility of Ocean County.”

The New Jersey Department of State Motion Picture and Television Commission lists locations in each county that might interest productions.

In 2018 thus far, two feature films and 20 television productions have filmed in the state. At least one, “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation,” filmed in Ocean County.

Donate Tickets To Veterans Through Vets Night Out

LAKEWOOD - The BlueClaws and OceanFirst Bank have partnered on Vets Night Out, a program through which fans can donate tickets that will be given directly to veterans to enjoy a BlueClaws game on August 21 this year.

There are four levels of donation: Red, White, Blue, and Eagle, with each level including varying degrees of benefits.

Red - A $100 donation includes 10 tickets for veterans. Each donor receives on-field recognition and two tickets to the games on August 21.

• White - A $250 donation includes 25 tickets for veterans. Each donor receives on-field and website recognition plus four tickets to the games on August 21.

• Blue - A $500 donation includes 50 tickets for veterans. Each donor receives on-field and website recognition, an exclusive Field Day (date TBD), and eight tickets to the games on August 21.

• Eagle - A $1,000 donation gives 100 tickets for veterans. Each donor receives on-field and website recognition, an exclusive Field Day (date TBD), and a BlueClaws Luxury Suite outing (for 20) Labor Day Weekend.

“The BlueClaws are proud to work with the area business community to support veterans and active military personnel,” said Joe Ricciutti, BlueClaws President and General Manager.

“We also recognize that while their loved ones are serving on active duty, there is often a family stationed at one of our great military bases, worried and waiting for them to safely return. We wanted to also give them an opportunity to enjoy a night with the BlueClaws. We want to be a place where families can go to put the real world on the back burner, even for just a few hours, and enjoy some baseball, mini golf, boardwalk games, ice cream and family time.”

All tickets for veterans will be donated through certified programs and directly through Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

To participate in Vets Night Out, contact Tyler Odle by calling 732-901-7000 ext. 124.

Tuesday, August 21st is the lone 2018 appearance from the Phillie Phanatic, presented by OceanFirst Bank.

Tickets for all 2018 home games are available by calling 732-901-7000 option 2 or online at BlueClaws.com.

Games: Continued From Page 1 operators who aren’t playing by the rules are held accountable so they don’t spoil the fun for everyone,” said Paul R. Rodríguez, Acting Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs.

Attorney General Grewal noted that the boardwalk is the quintessential place for summer, family-time fun. “The reason we do this every year is because the boardwalk, Seaside Heights, its iconic of our summers here in New Jersey…of family and friends getting together and trying to have a good time and establish memories,” he said.

The inspections encourage and maintain safety, transparency, and fairness in boardwalk retail, according to Grewal.

“As a father, I want to be able to lose those games based on my own abilities, or inabilities,” Grewal joked. “We don’t want anyone walking away from what should be an enjoyable trip feeling like they, or worse, their children, were taken advantage of by rigged games or deceptive sales practices.”

Not only does Operations Safe Summer 2018 focus on keeping boardwalk games fair to consumers, but it also investigates the way stores price their products and handle their return policies.

Grewal said that part of the process is making sure that product prices and return policies are clearly labeled.

“We don’t want anyone’s experience to be ruined when you get to that cash register and you realize [a product]…is nearly twice as much as you thought it would be,” he explained.

Since the program began last month, the initial inspections have found 12 establishments in two seaside towns that have allegedly violated state consumer protection laws and regulations, accord-

–Photos by Kimberly Bosco Officials from the Division of Consumer Affairs and Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office will be inspecting the games and retail stores along the boardwalk for violations during Operation Safe Summer 2018. ing to the Attorney General’s office.

Investigators from the Division’s Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission (LGCCC) unit and its Office of Consumer Protection (OCP) visit the boardwalk to perform the inspections.

These investigators are looking for violations in the gameplay such as a prize that is too heavy for the crane machine to pick up, a game that makes it impossible to win the top prize, or an incorrectly labeled prize.

So far, out of 8 arcades and 27 individual amusement games, investigators found 5 locations with alleged violations like these.

From the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, investigators took to the boardwalk to check the

retail stores. Of 25 stores already inspected, the OCPO investigators found 7 with alleged violations. Violations in retail can be anything from an unmarked or not clearly marked item to the lack of a visible refund policy.

“In addition to inspecting for consumer protection violations, investigators also check for sales of prohibited items, such as novelty lighters, and test toys and prizes for excessive levels of lead. The Division also hands out educational materials to consumers to empower them as their own best advocates against fraud and deceit in the marketplace,” according to the Attorney General’s office.

Rodriguez added that the division is only about halfway through total inspections right now.

Following a brief presentation on the program

with some statistics, officials took it upon themselves to test the games for transparency.

They first stopped at a game that requires you to hit a bottle with a baseball for a prize. Rodriguez successfully smashed a bottle on his first throw, to which Grewal joked, “It can’t be rigged.”

Officials also measured the distance from the boardwalk to the target of the game. Using a tape measure, they found it met the required 22 feet.

The group then moved on to the crane machine games inside Lucky Leo’s arcade where Joseph Chessere, an investigator with the LGCCC, discussed how the investigators go about checking the machine for violations.

Chessere explained that they first need to verify that the game can be won, and then they open the machine up and take a look at how it works. He demonstrated this on a machine that offers up small bags with hidden coin credits inside.

Chessere tested the crane’s ability to pick up the bag, and then verified that it actually contained the correct amount.

“If it’s not there, that’s a violation,” he said. “Its fraudulent deceptive practice.”

Investigators also open up the machine to see the mechanics inside and make sure that they are NJ certified, which is a requirement.

Officials then gave the football game a whirl, where they again measured the distance and Gurbir and Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato tossed the ball hoping to hit the target.

Neither made it, but at least they determined that the game was not rigged.

Operation Safe Summer began back in 2014 and has since issued 183 citations for one or more violations of amusement games licenses on the boardwalk. Game operators can be fined for violations, up to $500.

Hankins: Continued From Page 1 in 2006 for $8.5 million.

Now in foreclosure, the home is a shadow of its former self since Superstor m Sandy hit, which f looded the island, uprooted the built-in pool and damaged the house. Ever y window is broken, the roof is covered in bird droppings and even the bulkhead is giving way.

L ong-t i me locals cal l t he isla nd “Han k ins Island” af ter Charles Hankins, who inherited his father’s boat-building business. It was established in 1912 in Lavallette, and was located on Reese Avenue fronting the bay, but later moved to Grand Central Avenue.

The Hankins family boat-building business produced award-winning Jersey Sea Skiffs - also called Sea Bright Sk if fs - and other small craf ts for almost a century. Two Hankins boats are on permanent display at the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut.

Ocean Cou nt y Histor ical Societ y President Br ian Bovasso, 68, g rew up in Silver Beach next to Chadwick Be a ch , a nd he r e me mb e r s M id d le Sedge Island from his youth.

“As kids we had prams with 2- to 3-horsepower engines and we explored all the sedge islands,” he said from the Historical Society building on Hadley Avenue in Toms River.

Hankins built every lifeguard boat along the Jersey Shore, Bovasso recalled.

Sometime in the late 1960s, Hankins bought the acreage on Middle Sedge Isla nd , a nd he also pu rch a se d t he most westerly residential lot on the mainland where he could park his car.

His boat was there so he would leave his car and motor to the island with his wife, Anna Ohlau Hankins, on the weekends.

“After he built the house on the island, t he federal gover n ment passed t he Wetlands Act which said no one would be allowed to build anything else on the sedge islands,” Bovasso said.

“So they would be out there by themselves, which Charles liked. He had a generator and his own well,” he said.

“Somewhere along the line, he sold the house and the people who bought it immediately moved the two-stor y colonial house off the island by barge.”

That’s true, said Patsy Tomlinson, whose bayfront home in Brick faces Middle Sedge Island. Tomlinson has lived in her Seawood Harbor home si nc e 1973 a nd r e me mb e r s se ei ng lights go on in the Hankins home every Friday night.

“One day I was laying on my couch, look i ng out the f ront door and the house on the island didn’t look right,” she recalled.

The Brick Times, July 28, 2018, Page 7 The house had been displaced to the edge of the island because it was being moved onto a barge.

“Next thing I know, the house was moving downbay on a boat, and then we were told that they were installing underground utilit y lines for a new house, but it was all just chit chat.”

The new home was built in 1991 and was owned by Dell Construction. In 2006 it was sold to Zero Barnegat Bay, LLC. Foreclosure documents were filed in 2012.

“The new owners built a complex, an elaborate house. They had the utilities run down there, they had all the luxuries of life out there,” Bovasso said.

“Prior to Sandy, it was for sale and urban legend says that Robert De Niro was looking at it.”

The utilities were run out to the island from the end of Strickland Street in Chadwick Beach. When the township of Toms River replaced the bulkhead there, they had to make allowances for the utility lines, which run out about 3,000 feet to the house, said township engineer Robert Chankalian.

In 2015, Middle Sedge Island was listed for sale on PrivateIslands.com (an online pr ivate island brokerage website) for $6.5 million.

The ad read, “Although it sits in the middle of a highly-populated beach community, Middle Sedge Island offers complete peace and seclusion from its next door neighbors who are at least a quarter mile away.”

The property included 14.4 acres of a 25-acre island, accessible only by boat.

Two Parker launches were included in the asking price, and secondary access by helicopter was possible since the island had a licensed helicopter pad.

T he 4,866 squ a re -foot house had a pool room, rec room, wet bar, sun porch, built-in heated pool, a bocce court, a 1,200-square foot guest house and much more.

According to the Toms River Tax Assessor’s office, bankruptcy was filed on August 8, 2016 in Towaco, NJ. The land value for 2018 is $2,053,700 and the house value is listed as $46,800.

T he mor tgage compa ny ha s paid taxes in full since the foreclosure. In 2017 they paid $49,025.68, and they paid f irst quar ter taxes this year of $24,512.84, according to the Tax Assessor’s office.

The Hankins family was prominent in Lavallette. Charles’ father was mayor of Lavallette from 1927 to 1930, and a bay front park in the borough bears his name.

Charles’ brother James was also mayor of Lavallette from 1961 to 1964; and Charles’ wife, Anna, worked for the borough from 1956-1985, and Route 35 South in Lavallette is named after her.

Charles Hankins died in 2003 and Anna Ohlau Hankins died in 2006.

Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez

ENGLEWOOD - U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-9th), the prime sponsors of landmark legislation to protect firefighters from cancer risks, recently joined dozens of firefighters from across New Jersey to celebrate final passage of their Firefighter Cancer Registry Act. The bill creates a national cancer registry for firefighters diagnosed with the deadly disease and calls on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to monitor and study the relationship between career-long exposure to dangerous fumes and toxins and the incidence of cancer in firefighters to determine if there is a link, and to develop better protective gear and prevention techniques.

“This is a huge win for our firefighters, who risk so much every time they answer the bell. Taking care of those who risk their lives and health to protect us is the least we can do,” said Sen. Menendez. “Firefighters not only encounter smoke and flames when they run into burning buildings, but also dangerous fumes, toxins, and known carcinogens released during a fire that pose additional

health risks. The ultimate goal of the Firefighter Cancer Registry is to prevent cancer in firefighters by developing better ways of protecting them through study and greater understanding of their cancer risks.”

“Today is a big day. I can’t think of many priorities more important than protecting the health of America’s firefighters. The Firefighter Cancer Registry will bring together information on firefighters’ history to help doctors and researchers find any connections between firefighters’ work and increased risk for cancer,” said Rep. Pascrell, co-chair of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus. “This will strengthen the safety of the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every single day. This legislation has long enjoyed bipartisan support because having the backs of those protecting our families is a cause we all support. I want to thank Representatives Chris Collins and Frank Pallone, and Senators Menendez and Lisa Murkowski for all their efforts to get this bill through Congress. After the legislation is signed, I look forward to working with the CDC and

Bill Would Reauthorize National Flood Insurance Program more accou nt abilit y at the Federal Emergency M a n a g e m e n t A g e n c y.

Unfortunately, the Senate has failed to act.

Recently, Congressman Ma cA r t hu r i nt roduce d the National Flood I nsurance Program Extension Act to keep N FIP authorized through hurr icane season. House Major it y W h ip Steve

Scalise signed on as an o r ig i n a l c o s p o n s o r t o this bill.

“I have met numerous times with House leadership and explai ned the cr it ical need for NFIP to be reauthorized. This bill extends NFIP through Nov. 30, allowing over 140 mill ion A me r ica n s l iv i ng in coastal communities,

like Ocean County, to be covered through the entire hu r r icane season,” C o n g r e s s m a n M a c A rthur said. “I am calling on my colleag ues on both sides of the aisle and from both chambers of Cong ress - to come t oget he r a nd pa ss t h is bill to ensure that families and communities are not put at risk.

“I will continue to work with House and Senate l e a d e r s h i p o n a lo n gter m reauthor ization t hat g ives homeow ne r s c e r t a i nt y, e n s u r e s a f ford abi l it y, i nc r e a s es mitigation funds for shore communities, and i n st i l l s a c c ou nt abi l it y at FEM A for how they t reat disaster victims,” he said.

Studying High Numbers Of Cancer In Firefighters members of the firefighting community to see that the new registry is implemented to its fullest use.”

A 2015 study by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found that firefighters had a greater number of cancer diagnoses and cancer-related deaths for certain types of cancer when compared to the general U.S. population, specifically digestive, oral, respiratory and urinary cancers, and malignant mesothelioma. The study confirmed that firefighters have an increased risk of cancer because of occupational exposure. To bolster the efforts led by researchers at NIOSH, the firefighter cancer registry will improve collection capabilities and activities related to the nationwide monitoring of cancer incidence among all firefighters – both career and volunteer.

Specifically, the Firefighter Cancer Registry Act will authorize $2.5 million in federal funds to the CDC from FY2018 to FY2022. Additionally, the legislation will: Develop a firefighter registry of available cancer incidence data collected by existing State Cancer Registries and a strategy to maximize participation; Create a registry that will contain relevant history, such as other occupational information, years of service,

number of fire incidents responded to, and additional risk factors; • Make de-identified data available to public health researchers to provide them with robust and comprehensive datasets to expand groundbreaking research; and • Improve our understanding of cancer incidences by requiring administrators to consult regularly with public health experts, clinicians, and firefighters.

Among those who joined the senator and congressman at Englewood Fire Department Headquarters were: Bergen County Executive James Tedesco, a longtime volunteer firefighter; Englewood Fire Chief Erik Enersen; James Slevin of the International Assoc. of Firefighters (IAFF); Dominick Marino of the Professional Firefighters Assoc. of N.J., IAFF; Wayne Wolk of the N.J. State Firefighters’ Mutual Benevolent Assoc.; and George Heflich of the National Volunteer Fire Council.

The legislation has support from several major fire organizations, including the National Volunteer Fire Council, the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), the Congressional Fire Services Institute, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, New

Jersey Firefighters’ Mutual Benevolent Association (FMBA) and the International Fire Services Training Association.

“On behalf of all our brothers and sisters in the fire service, I want to thank Senator Menendez and Congressman Pascrell for standing strong with us from the very beginning in our fight for the fire fighter cancer registry,” said Harold Schaitberger, general president of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). “They know what we know, that cancer is a scourge of our industry and the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths.

The cancer registry will give us the data we need to fight cancer head on and save fire fighter lives.”

Sen. Menendez and Rep. Pascrell first announced introduction of the Firefighter Cancer Registry Act in May 2016 during a news conference in Clifton, at Fire Station 5, where they were joined by dozens of firefighters, including retired Haddon Heights Fire Chief Gene Dannenfelster, who since lost his battle with cancer. The bipartisan legislation was originally cosponsored

by Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) in the House.

The bill, which was unanimously approved by the Senate this May, was reintro-

duced in February 2017, with 49 bipartisan Senate cosponsors: Murkowski, Klobuchar, Rubio, Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Tom Carper (D-Del.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Angus King (I-Maine), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Claire McCaskill (DMo.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Jack Reed (D -R.I.), Ber nie Sanders (I-Vt.), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Tina Smith (D-Minn.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), and Todd Young (R-Ind.).

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Link Between Domestic Violence And Gun Violence 180 Turning Lives Around is mourning the loss of life in the recent mass shooting.

It is without hesitation that I am compelled to share with you two simple facts: When abusers have guns, people are at a high risk of homicide.

Mass shooters often have a history of domestic violence - in fact nearly 60 percent of recent incidents.

The threads of domestic violence in the lives of these perpetrators are important to note: Santa Fe High School, Texas - where eight students and two teachers were killed, and where according to the mother of one of the victims, her daughter had rejected the killer’s advances for months.

Orlando Nightclub - where 49 were killed and 53 injured, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, the perpetrator cruelly abused his former wife, isolating her from friends and family.

Parkland, Florida - before the mass shooter killed 17 students and teachers, he was abusive to his girlfriend, stalked her, abused animals, owned guns and was expelled from high school for fighting with his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend.

Planned Parenthood, Colorado Springs - where three individuals were shot to death, the killer beat and raped his wife and had been previously arrested.

Boston Marathon - before

planting the bombs that killed three people and injured more than 260, the killer was arrested for beating his girlfriend.

Kansas - an hour and a half after receiving a restraining order stemming from a domestic violence complaint filed by his ex-girlfriend the murderer equipped with assault rifle and pistol killed three and injured 14.

And the list goes on. The statistics regarding domestic violence and gun access are staggering. When an abusive partner has access to firearms, statistics show that domestic violence is more likely to turn deadly. According to research published in the American Journal of Public Health, the presence of a gun in domestic violence situations increases the risk of homicide for women by 500 percent. More than half of women murdered with guns are killed by family members or intimate partners.

Our commitment to empowering survivors of domestic violence to turn their life around is paramount. However, in light of the link we see between mass shooters and domestic violence, we also remain steadfast to advocating for laws that prohibit domestic abusers access to guns and we implore the community to immediately hold abusers accountable for their behavior.

Also Disappointed With The Path This Great Country Has Taken I just wanted to let Myrna Arnold of Whiting (letter in your July 14 issue “Remembering Different Good Old Days”) that I agree with all she wrote!

For the first few paragraphs, I felt she was reading my mind /thoughts.

Then, since she said she was 72, and I ‘m the same age, I realized we are from the same generation, and obviously, we just might think alike.

I was always proud to be an American, and still am, even though it is hard and at times embarrassing in today’s world!

Thanks, Myrna, there are lots of us who think as you do and can relate to your feelings.

Judy Ricca Howell

Those Good Old Days Never Happened It was clever of Myrna Arnold to start off her letter (“Remembering Different Good Old Days”) in your July 14 edition with her remembrances of pleasant American memories that many of us share before switching into her anti-Trump screed.

But when you combine her simply incorrect statements (example: “I remember when a president of the United States was elected by a majority of the people, instead of the electoral college.” No, you don’t, because no American president has ever been elected based purely on the popular vote.) with the clinically hysterical (example: “I remember when infants were not ripped from their mothers’ arms...” But seemingly you don’t remember the millions who’ve been

Letters To early The Editor ripped from their mothers’ deaths. The problem of have come before the NJTA wombs, never mind their arms.) and add to them silly politicized moans (among other examples: “I remember when a Supreme Court nominee was allowed a hearing, even when he was not a right-wing republican.” I remember that too, and here’s what it got us: libleft ideologues like Ginsburg and Breyer, willing to ignore the Constitution to stick the country with their perverse schemes.) and top it off with the strictly maudlin (example: “I remember when I was proud to be an American and proud to wear the uniform of the U.S. Army….”)

Well, I remember when I was proud be an American and proud to wear the uniform of the United States Marine Corps, but I’m beginning to wonder how long national pride can be maintained in a country under administrations (unlike the current one) that won’t defend the borders from alien invaders and are willing to burden their own citizens with the cost of harboring those invaders. And maybe everybody is wondering how long it will be before the countries those invaders come from will be forced by their own peoples to become worth staying in.

Parkway Wall Would Protect Neighbors A 14-foot noise, pollution and safety wall is needed where the Garden State Parkway enters Brick near Evergreen Woods and continues southbound through the town and on the northbound side past Brick High School and town hall and up to Primrose Gardens and the reservoir.

This will not stop all the toxins from f lowing into everyone’s lungs from vehicles on the Garden State Parkway but it would at least assist in the prevention of autism, asthma, COPD and

the environmental destruction that causes lung and heart ailments among many of our residents has not gone away. It will not go away on its own and each passing day puts our citizens further at risk. Each and every one of our citizens faces the toxins forced upon them by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority Commissioners and their powerful profiteering cohorts.

The citizens are being harmed each day and no politician will stand up to the Commissioners who were appointed to their highly powerful positions because of their support of the political class in all of New Jersey. Republican nor Democrat will not stand with the working class people because the regular everyday citizen does not have the power to control the state’s leaders. The bureaucracy runs amuck in New Jersey’s government so politicians will not speak out and stand up for the citizens in any kind of defense from the bureaucrats and ruling class that run every aspect of the government.

More and more money is taken from the middle class citizen to support programs and agencies controlled by the profiteering bureaucrats.

Small and large businesses and everyday citizens are faced with financial doom if they stay in New Jersey, so many move out and leave the state to the bureaucrats that inf luence every part of the residents’ lives. Just about every politician is afraid to speak up for the people because the rich and powerful bureaucrats will not financially support them in future political endeavors. The Turnpike Authority, which controls the Garden State Parkway, ignores the pleas of the people for a fair and just settlement in the matter concerning the health and well-being of the residents. So many people are noticeably impacted by the destruction of the Garden State Parkway and although various people

Commissioners with their concerns, nothing is done except to dismiss the citizens. The commissioners don’t care about the people and only care about what kind of payoff they can get for themselves, their cohorts and the politicians they control.

Elected officials do not speak up against the abuse of power of various institutions like the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and let the bureaucrats do unto their citizens whatever they please. It seems hard to understand why the political class does not stand with their citizens unless they are so beholding to the bureaucrats in the state that they fear losing financial and political support. Local officials will not sue the bureaucracy or even try to coerce the state and county officials into helping the citizens lead normal healthy lives. The bureaucracies are powerful and therefore local elected officials and even news agencies seem to be afraid to publicly address the problem despite over whelming evidence published in national and international publications.

As mentioned previously a combination of additional shrubbery and forestation as well as a 14-foot pollution, noise and safety wall to curtail some of the damage brought about by the illegal actions of the Commissioners of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority is necessary in Evergreen Woods and other areas of Brick Township. Someday, maybe in the near future, one or more politicians will stand up for the citizens and fight the government bureaucracy, stand up for the residents and take the fight for the lives of their people before the courts but for now the citizens will just have to suffer the health impacts of the toxins from the Garden State Parkway.

Thank you.

Principal: Continued From Page 1 Dr. Richard Caldes, who is retiring.

Ferrara has been a school administrator since 2007, and was most recently vice principal at Manchester Township High School.

She has 18 years of educational experience and has held positions in Freehold Regional School District as academic supervisor and science teacher.

According to a press release issued by the Brick Township School District, Ferrara increased advanced placement course enrollment, addressed chronic absenteeism and served on many committees while serving as vice principal in Manchester.

She developed a “Summer Institute” for at-risk incoming high school freshmen.

Dr. Ferrara has also participated in District Strategic Planning and is a great supporter of technology in the classroom, says the press release.

Her educational background includes a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from The College of New Jersey; a Master of Arts in Administration, Supervision and Curriculum Development from Georgian Court University; and a Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership from Saint Peter’s University in Jersey City.

As a resident of the Jersey Shore, Ferrara is the creator of a monthly #coffeeEDU chat in Belmar for educators to meet in a casual environment to discuss education topics.

Dr. Ferrara’s contract starts on September 1 and her annual salary will be $144,725.

In other news, the administration announced that the College Experience would be expanded from two to seven courses in each high school.

The College Experience allows students in grades 10 through 12 to earn credits at Ocean County College (OCC) while still earning high school credits.

OCC Coordinator of College Readiness Now Program Dr. Henry Jackson attended

the Board of Education meeting to explain the program and take questions from Board members and the audience.

“We are bringing the experience to Brick public schools in a partnership,” he said.

“We are hoping to grow the number of courses to 30 credits, that is our ultimate goal, but we’ll start slow...because we want the students to have a successful experience.”

Students would receive five credits on their high school transcript as well as three credits on their college transcript for each college course they earn a grade of C or better.

The courses currently available include English IV, Public Speaking, Survey of Mathematics, Art History, Introduction to Sociology, Introduction to Business, General Psychology and Western Civilization.

Students must pay OCC directly for the college credits and are not eligible for fi nancial aid due to the reduced tuition of $92.50 per credit. (A three-credit course would cost $277.50) Also, business administrator James Edwards said he has no new information about the reversal of state aid to certain districts that are considered to be over-funded, including Brick.

Governor Phil Murphy signed the new school spending plan proposed by NJ Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney that would eliminate adjustment aid to those districts. Brick stands to lose $1.8 million for the 2018-19 school year, and a total of $25 million over seven years.

There could be a 2 percent tax increase to make up for the cuts, Edwards said.

And fi nally, Osbornville Elementary School Counselor Brett Novick was named as a NJ State Governor’s Jefferson Award, the nation’s most prestigious and longest-standing organization dedicated to celebrating public service.

Novick is the director of the Brick Township School District’s BASE (Behavioral Academic and Social Education) summer camp for special needs students.

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.

wonderful quality of life. The ‘Pick up Brick’ campaign will help encourage us all to take steps to ensure trash and debris end up in the appropriate place and not along our roadsides or in our waterways.”

Residents are encouraged to email pickupbrick@bricktownship.net to report areas that are in need of attention as a result of trash and

debris. Individuals and groups can also email to volunteer for community clean-ups led by the Township Environmental Commission and Clean Communities Coordinator.

According to information from the National Homebuilder’s Association litter in a community can reduce home values by as much as 7 percent. Additionally,

litter can have a detrimental impact on economic development, on tourism and can strain municipal resources such as Public Works, Code Enforcement and Parks Department staff.

“Best Year Ever” For Brick Morning Rotary

MICHELE’S

GOLD BUYERS, LLC BRICK – The Brick Morning Rotary Club never ceases to amaze. With a growing membership base, one truly amazing annual event, and a whole host of hands-on efforts, the Club continues to fill their schedule with successful, worthy and fun projects benefitting their local and world communities.

The Brick Morning Rotary Club, serving the Brick Community since 1994, began the year with donations of dictionaries to several local Parochial schools, sponsored two extraordinary students in the Rotary Youth Leadership Academy, and awarded FIVE $1000 scholarships to students from the Brick High Schools and the Ocean County Vocational Technical School.

With the help of Family, Friends, and members of the community, the club coordinated three well-organized and highly successful town-wide food drives in October, November and April. These drives helped to stock local food banks and support multiple families for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. In excess of $25,000 of food was collected in addition to monetary donations. In March, the Club planted trees at Brick Schools in support of the Rotary International 2018 “Tree Challenge.”

The annual Comedy night in February was simply the best ever, with almost 500 in attendance. The profits from this event helped to support the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, Boy Scouts Jersey Shore Council, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ocean County,

Catholic Charities, The ACS, Fulfill, Rotary Shelter Box USA, the Wounded Warrior Project, the Play Hook-E Vet Fishing Program, Brick American Baseball League, A Time 2 Share, Operation Beachhead, Caregivers Volunteers, Circles of Love, Ney Ney Cat Charities, OceanCares Foundation, Toms River Field of Dreams, Semillas de Fe Hogar Ninos Foundation, Please Leave Only Your Footprints, the Bobby Buecker Foundation, and Special Olympics NJ. Internationally, the club supported Rotary Programs with two Paul Harris Fellow donations that will benefit the eradication of polio, supported the Gift of Life Foundation benefitting children in need of life-saving medical services, helped to assemble meals in support of Rotary’s Rise Against Hunger Project, and contributed to finance the distribution of disaster relief materials through ShelterBox. New club President, Dr. Fred Nirschl DDS., looks forward to leading the club in its 25th year.

“These Rotarians dedicate themselves to good works all year long. They are my Dear Friends and I couldn’t be prouder of them. I am truly privileged to work alongside them, and look forward to another fantastic year, supporting the needs of our local and international communities.,” said Dr. Nirschl.

The club meets each Wednesday morning at the Brick Diner at 7:30 a.m. and welcomes guests and prospective members for fellowship and breakfast.

Elbow Up For some folks, inserting your hearing aid into your ear can be a real struggle. Sometimes you twist and turn the hearing aid which eventually creates a sore ear.

Here are a few tricks you can utilize to properly insert your hearing instrument into your ear canal.

First, for custom, non-behind-the-ear products, the “red” writing on the aid is for the right ear and the “blue” writing is for the left ear.

Second, when you are inserting the aid, the “vent hole” is usually on the bottom of the aid facing outside.

Third, as you are trying to insert the instrument, make sure your elbow is “up” in line with your ear and push toward your nose. If your elbow is down, you may not insert the aid in the right direction. Thus, the aid may “stick” out of your ear and constantly ring.

Remember, if you are struggling with hearing aid insertion, keep your elbow up while inserting the aid. This will make life a lot simpler and alleviate potential ear soreness and feedback.

Finally, make sure you keep in close contact with your hearing healthcare professional who is there for guidance.

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!

County & Health Dept. Making Sure Swimming Water Is Clean

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County officials announced that the Ocean County Health Department’s water sampling program has officially begun.

“Each year the Ocean County Health Department has a full team of water samplers who visit 72 recreational swimming beaches on the ocean, bay and rivers and lakes throughout the county to take samples of water for testing to the lab located at the Ocean County Utilities Authority facility in Bayville,” according to Freeholder Director Gerry Little.

Individual testing results are compiled and then sent to the State lab for review and publication. You can fi nd results at ochd.org.

“The residents of Ocean County and all our visitors should be aware that we are vigorous in ensuring that our swimming beaches are clean and safe,” stated Free-

holder Director Little. “Reports of beach closures elsewhere in the State naturally raise concern but Ocean County has for many years tested our swimming areas throughout the County continuously from before Memorial Day weekend to after Labor Day weekend so our residents and visitors can feel safe going into the water.”

Public Health Coordinator Daniel Regenye also noted that excessive rainfall can impact water quality due to runoff into local lakes and rivers. If testing results ever show less than acceptable results, that swimming area would be temporarily closed and tested daily until results demonstrate safer water quality, according to Regenye.

“Last year over 450 inspections were conducted throughout Ocean County to insure safe swimming can be enjoyed by all residents and visitors,” added Regenye.

Lion’s Mane Helps Your Brain

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Lion’s mane mushroom, scientifically known as Hericium erinaceus, is a hairy-looking mushroom with a name that conjures up visions from the wild kingdom. It literally looks like a white Lion’s Mane!

Lion’s Mane has some interesting beneficial effects on your body. It contains many active ingredients, among them beta-glucan and some antioxidants.

You can take it in supplemental form, or you can cook with it, like you do Portobello’s!

Lion’s mane helps your brain and keeps you sane. It can help to boost cognitive performance, improve mood, and protect neurons from damage. But how can a shroom protect your mind?

It’s a valid question, one that scientists have wondered too. Studies prove that compounds in Lion’s Mane increase Nerve Growth Factor, or NGF. This is a critical protein in your nervous system.

It plays a variety of roles actually, including the most important which is to grow new brain cells.

Lion’s Mane increases NGF and since you can’t supplement directly with NGF, Lion’s Mane could be a consideration.

It’s a nootrope, and nootropes support brain function, memory, focus and learning.

This next part is fascinating. Lion’s Mane can suppress certain pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in neurolgical diseases. Given that excessive inflammation is believed to be involved in many different disease processes, including

some of the most common brain diseases (from depression to Alzheimer’s disease), this effect can help lion’s mane to protect the brain. It’s also been shown to increase levels of acetylcholine, your memory molecule.

There was a great study that suggests that Lion’s Mane can help reduce symptoms of both anxiety and depression after just four weeks. Unlike traditional SSRIs and other anti-depressants or psychoactive drugs, there is no risk of addiction, tolerance withdrawal or receptor down-regulation. Side effects are minimal, unless you have allergies to the mushroom.

In people with mild cognitive impairment (the precursor to full-blown dementia), taking Lion’s Mane significantly improved cognitive performance, with the positive benefits increasing over the duration of the 16-week trial.

More research is needed, and being conducted. I’m not suggesting that we throw away important prescribed pills or disregard your physician’s orders over this body of research. But of course, it is enticing, and exciting to think a shroom could have this much power on brain-boosting chemicals. It certainly gets my attention. You can cook with it, or take it in supplemental forms. I have more information about this, a longer version of this article, as well as recipes.

If you’d like all this, just sign up for my free newsletter which connects you to my online community. You can sign up at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you on Tuesday.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Why A Survey Is Essential For Successful Closing

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Dina Vicari of R.C. Shea and Associates During the process of purchasing a home, many buyers are concerned with the bottom line and look for ways to cut costs. One of the first items they may choose to forego to save money is to opt out of ordering a survey. This article is intended to provide information which will assist the purchaser in making a well informed decision whether to obtain or forego a survey.

Many purchasers are not aware of all the various important components that a survey can disclose. A survey is not just a simple drawing showing boundary lines and location of the dwelling, but it also delineates right of ways, easements, encroachments, and/ or gaps between property lines. The survey can also confirm the location of a water way, an existing improvement and determine whether all the structures on the property you are looking to purchase are within the property boundary lines such as sheds, pools, retaining walls and fences. Perhaps the most important pieces of information a survey will provide are the property’s zoning classification, dimension and size, which will allow you to determine if the property conforms to the local lot size requirements.

Once the survey is obtained your attorney will forward it to the title company, who will also research the information contained therein. If the survey accurately shows that there are no property line encroachments then the title company will not require any exceptions in its policy, which will allow the title company to provide coverage and defend against anyone who, in the future, challenges the accuracy of the property lines. If you do not have an

accurate and current survey prior to closing then any disputes, Dina M. Vicari Esq. whether it is with the seller, a neighbor or a governmental agency, as to the location of a fence, shed, or any larger structure such as a pool, deck or an addition will become yours to resolve.

These disputes can be costly and you possibly may be precluded from seeking recourse from the previous owner.

The basic survey cost is around $650800 and of course the cost may be more if the property is very large or has irregular shape. If you chose to have metal stakes installed at the corners then that may increase the cost of the survey. These markers are important for t hose homeow ner s who, af ter making the purchase, want to install a fence, pool, shed, or an addition to the dwelling.

The purchase of a home or lot may be overwhelming but the attorneys at R.C. Shea and Associates can assist you through that process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

New Jersey Vows Zero Tolerance On Hate Crimes

By Jennifer Peacock TRENTON – Gover nment 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.

L a ke wo o d C o m m i t t e e m a n M e i r 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.”

Summer is about...

OCEAN COUNTY – Children at OCEAN, Inc. Head Start Centers will become Kindergarten ready thanks to recent funding totaling $35,000 from United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

The grant award will fund the OCEAN, Inc. Summer Literacy Program, which provides summer learning and enrichment activities for children from disadvantaged families who are entering kindergarten in fall of 2018.

The goal of the program is to reach students from disadvantaged families who would not otherwise have access to these summer learning and enrichment opportunities without this funding and program.

The Literacy Program will focus on enhancing the reading readiness and literacy skills of 35 children who have been identified as having an economic and academic need. The family literacy-focused summer reading program will enable OCEAN, Inc. to meet important child de-

velopment needs, while providing a safe and nurturing environment for children to grow and will minimize the risk of school failure for participants by assisting them in developing positive, healthy attitudes towards reading and learning.

“It is the mission of this agency to provide quality, comprehensive services that assist our disadvantaged residents (children),” said OCEAN, Inc. president/ CEO Channell Wilkins. “We are extremely thankful to United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties for the funding they provided, which helps us raise the quality of life for the children in our community.”

United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties mobilizes donors, volunteers, and community partners to improve the lives of youth and their families. They strive to ensure that every child is successful, every family is financially stable and every community is strong.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUly 28 - aug 3

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Make sure goals are worth your while. An excess of energy may have you ready to take on monumental tasks but be wary of taking on fruitless pursuits. Don’t let someone else’s agenda supersede your own.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): All is not as it appears. Take care not to make snap judgments or reach conclusions as the facts that you have received may be distorted. It may be wise to hold off on starting anything important for a few days.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keep expectations reasonable. A hobby or project may help pass the time, but you shouldn’t anticipate gaining much out of it. Stay among close friends or loved ones as they know how to encourage you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Know the difference between right and wrong. Drifting into gray areas may provide an easy shortcut but also may come close to breaking the rules. There’s no shame in asking for advice to solve a problem.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Speak from the heart or don’t speak at all. Telling someone what they want to hear may be the wrong thing to do, especially if it goes against what you believe in. A disagreement does not mean you have to be enemies.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Loosen up a little. It may be a case of you wanting to get down to business while everyone else just wants to sit back and relax. Be mindful of the feelings of those around you and try

not to be pushy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Have it your way. You don’t have to answer to anyone if you’re a solo act so go out and do the things you want to do. It may be difficult to get cooperation or assistance from others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t put the cart before the horse. You should clear your slate of existing responsibilities and tasks before taking on anything new. Keep an eye out for bargains and sales but only on essential items.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Regardless of the source, if someone gives you sound advice you would be wise to take it to heart. The simplest solution often works the best.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Dig yourself out of the rut. Instead of lamenting over your dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs, resolve to do something about it. A positive attitude can make a world of difference.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Slow and steady wins the race. Don’t rush through tasks as you are likely to make silly mistakes in your haste. Be sure to relate your ideas clearly and concisely as other may easily become confused.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Keep your emotions in check. Even when you are in the right, speaking out in anger may lead to nothing but trouble. Follow the lead of a cooler-headed friend or loved one to guide you on the right path.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Pump Up The Spice: Grilled, Chile-Spiked Fruit Salsa Brings The Sweet Heat

By Wolfgang Puck GRILLED SEA SCALLOPS WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE, JALAPENO AND BELL PEPPER SALSA Serves 4 to 6 as an appetizer, 2 to 3 as a main course For the grilled pineapple, jalapeno and bell pepper salsa: 1 small to medium ripe pineapple, peeled and cut into slices 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick 2 red onions, peeled and cut into slices 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick 3 green jalapeno chiles 2 red jalapeno chiles, or 2 more green ones 1 red, orange or green bell pepper, quartered, stemmed, and seeded Extra-virgin olive oil, for coating 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves 1 lime, juiced Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper For the grilled sea scallops: 12 large sea scallops 2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint leaves 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil leaves Extra-virgin olive oil Freshly ground black pepper Kosher salt Bottled teriyaki or barbecue sauce (optional) If using wooden or bamboo skewers (you’ll need 8 total), soak them in water for 30 minutes to help prevent scorching during grilling.

Meanwhile, prepare the salsa: Build a fire in a charcoal grill, or preheat a gas or electric grill. When the fire is hot,

carefully oil the grill’s cooking grid. Place the pineapple slices on the grill, and cook until seared golden brown, about 4 minutes per side, turning once with grilling tongs or a grilling spatula. Set aside on a platter once you’re done grilling the pineapple.

While the pineapple is grilling, put the onion slices, jalapenos and bell pepper in a mixing bowl, and gently toss with enough olive oil to coat. Arrange on the hot grill and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside on another platter.

When the jalapenos are cool enough to handle, use paper towels to help you peel off the skin. Stem, seed and mince the jalapenos.

Cut the pineapple into 1/4- to 1/2-inch (6- to 12-mm) cubes, removing and discarding the tough core from each slice.

Cut up the onions and bell pepper the same size.

In the mixing bowl, combine the pineapple, onion, jalapenos, bell pepper and cilantro, add the lime juice, drizzle with olive oil, and toss well, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside while you prepare the scallops.

For the scallops, place them on paper towels and lightly blot them dry. Thread 2 skewers parallel through 3 scallops; repeat with the remaining scallops. Place the skewered scallops in a single layer on a shallow tray or pan. Sprinkle evenly with mint and basil, then drizzle generously with olive oil. Season to taste with black pepper, then drizzle with more oil. Loosely cover and leave for about 15 minutes.

Brush the grill’s cooking grid with oil. Season the scallops lightly on both sides with salt, and place the skewers over high heat. Grill until just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side, turning the skewers once. If you like, after turning them, brush lightly with teriyaki or barbecue sauce.

Mound some of the salsa on individual serving plates or on a platter. (Reserve any extra in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for another meal.) Pushing with a fork, carefully slide the scallops off the skewers and arrange on top of the salsa. Serve immediately.
