TOMS R IVER – The 1027 Hooper Ave. The Ocean County Board The buildings have aged county plans to build a “replacement building” on the of Chosen Freeholders ap- beyond their usefulness, same spot that its current proved in the beginning of and the county desires to not

only upgrade its facilities, but have everything in one building rather than six.

The current lease expires June 20, 2022.

The county plans to purchase 10 acres and four buildings. The new building will be constructed where the current parking lot is. The plan is to seamlessly move offices from their old locations into the new building as it’s completed, so no services are interrupted during the construction and demolition.

Block said there are approximately 400 employees on that campus.

An estimate of the new building’s cost won’t be available until an architect is approved and hired to design the new building.

School Board Discusses Diversity, Vaping

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – School officials discussed diversity, a well-publicized racial incident, and vaping on school property during a recent Board of Education meeting.

District security director Cliff Menafra gave two reports which covered a variety of topics including vandalism, violence and bullying during the period of July through December 2017. This period of time included an incident at the Jackson Liberty High School where several students had posed for a photo that was posted to social media and which involved a racial slur. Although it had been stated that the students who had posed for the photo were attempting to demonstrate racial unity, the incident became a point of controversy among students, staff and parents.

The incident, which took place last fall, generated a student protest and a special board meeting that focused on race relations

within the district. Board members heard criticism about how it was handled at the time.

Recycling Center Challenged In Jackson

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – Will a proposed recycling facility negatively impact township roads when vehicles enter and exit the site on Wright-Debow Road?

That is the question that zoning board members, residents and representatives of the applicant, A and A Truck Parts has been trying to determine since May. Some residents feel the proposed 48-acre project will also cause a noise problem.

Among those opposed to it is Leon D. Thatcher Jr., a former member and chairman of township Zoning Board of Adjustment.

County Buys Open Space In Berkeley

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The county will be adding more open space to its acquisitions, pending the usual approvals.

The Ocean County Freeholders accepted the recommendation from the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee to acquire two parcels of land in Berkeley Township, totaling a little more than 24 acres total.

The county is set to pay up to $1.025 million plus up to (Open Space - See Page 2)

$2,200 for property tax adjustments.

Mark Villinger, the supervising planner with the county’s planning department, said even though the parcels are not adjacent, it’s one purchase because both lots belong to the same owner.

The larger lot, 21.13 acres, is situated by Hickory Lane/Segal Avenue in Bayville, where a lot of development has been taking place. The parcel the county wants to

acquire is approved for two homes and some industrial uses. It’s near an 812acre tract that was purchased from the NJ Pulverizing Co. in December 2016, that is now the Florence T. Allen Conservation Area and where the Barnegat Bay Trail is near.

The second parcel totaling 3.10 acres is off Route 9 and fronts along Cedar Creek. There are two billboards on the property, which of course will come down once the county owns the land, Villinger said. That property is close

County voters back in 1997 approved a 1.2-cent tax that goes into an Ocean County Natural Lands Trust. The program generates about $8 million a year.

A nine-member advisory committee, established in 1998, nominates properties

for the Freeholders to consider.

Freeholder Director Gerry Little has said that in a county that’s 408,000 acres, about 60 percent of it is permanently protected against development th roug h Pi nelands, st ate pa rks and 21,000 acres preser ved th rough the natural lands and farmlands programs.

School: Continued From Page 1 Superintendent Stephen Genco said following Menafra’s presentation that “we do talk about diversity at the student luncheon with the student council representatives from across the entire town whether it’s Goetz and McAuliffe or Memorial and Liberty.

“The same concerns are on both sides of town. We may not have seen it as much but the concerns are there and these all need to be district initiatives. We are seeing the same things and the Board needs to hear that because whether an issue happened at one particular location doesn’t mean it only happens there,” Genco said.

Board members and staff discussed the plan for district guidance counselors to serve as student mentors due to the nature of their job. They would seek students out who are struggling academically or socially.

The guidance counselors are already certified in anti-bullying and related training. It was noted that the administration is planning to split up the current anti-bullying specialists a bit. Several will be moved around. One specialist will be assigned to the Goetz school.

“There is a lot of dialogue within these investigations. We follow the letter of the law and do what is best for the students,” Genco said.

Board member Sharon Dey asked about the issue of vaping (electronic cigarettes) by students in district schools that was referenced in the report.

Genco said that when students test positive after vaping, “it is not just for tobacco, it is what they are taking in that involve other substances.”

Genco added that in speaking with other superintendents at a recent round table meeting where mutual issues are discussed, “unless they’re reporting it inaccurately, everybody is having the same issues with it.”

Dey asked if vaping is considered to be a controlled substance.

Menafra responded that “it’s everything.

We speculate what it could be and talk with the school resource officers about it.

It’s become a way of life with both college students and high school students. It was initially seen as a way to help people that smoked to stop smoking but the kids look at it as a way of smoking thinking it’s cool.”

Genco said “we had a decrease in smoking cigarettes when we started signing complaints and that is something we’ll be talking about this summer with trying to combat the vaping and obviously you see why we will be having that conversation

this summer to change the policy.”

Menafra responded vaping that is not allowed in school “but they’re ridiculously small and not easy to spot. The up side is while there are students that are doing it, there are students who will not tolerate it and report it to an administrator or security guard.”

Moving to incidents of conflict among students, board member Scott Sargent asked when the state provides the information for doing an investigation with guidelines, “how often do we find the language is ambiguous, in other words, when you’re looking at a case, it could go one way or the other and how do you determine whether you’re correct or whether the person is not guilty.”

“There are things that are not always clearcut,” Menafra said. “You have to ask what is being said. There’s a trigger word that you base on the characteristics of the situation; such as – was the conflict motivated by the words that were said or was it motivated by a fight with boy A and boy B. The same for the girls, too, noting sometimes the words that come out can prove to be more troublesome.”

Board member Michael Walsh noted in the report that “I see that it says Jackson Police Department, does that mean there is a tipster where we are sharing data with them?”

Genco clarified this saying “no, but only if there is a criminal offense noting the M.O.A. (Memorandum of Agreement) is clear on that. If there is something we believe where someone is breaking the law, we are sharing that with the police department.”

“I’m pleased to see the efforts in the anti-bullying program. The state takes this very seriously and I can say the Jackson School District obviously does as well.

Thank you Mr. Menafra for all your services, you’ve done an amazing job,” Sargent said.

This was Menafra’s last report, as he retired this summer. Genco praised Menafra during the meeting saying he has “done his job tremendously in light the expanding role of security. Anything I asked of Cliff, he carried out; if he was needed to be here at midnight Saturday night, he was here midnight Saturday night.”

“We looked to create stability and going forward we were making some big decisions on how to move forward in better securing our schools,” Genco said.

Menafra said he had enjoyed his last five years with the district. “I am excited about retiring but I will miss what I do and will miss everybody here. I liked coming together as a group in solving problems and accomplished a lot, I’ll miss the interaction.”

Recycling: Continued From Page 1 Thatcher stated in an e-mail to The Jackson Times that “this is a junkyard. It does not belong, permitted or conform to the Jackson Township Master Plan. This zone is a LM (light manufacturing) Zone which is designated to be offices and other compatible uses, not a junk yard.

“Not only is it not permitted but requires no fewer than seven other variances. This junk yard will also contaminate the goals of the Jackson Master Plan. No one else would want develop their property next to or near a junk yard,” Thatcher said.

For the last four years, Hurley Road resident Charles Baker has been trying to stop this proposed development. In 2014, the zoning board granted approval to A&A Truck Parts’ project.

Thatcher noted that zoning laws require development in the light industrial zone to be no more than three acres. The A&A Truck Parts proposal calls for a 48-acre development.

Baker filed a lawsuit arguing that there was misleading testimony. A Superior Court judge upheld the zoning board ruling, but in 2017, the appellate court overruled the board - vacating the prior approval and requiring a new hearing to be held.

Testimony was heard during the last board meeting. The application involves a use variance from the board to operate the recycling center for used truck parts and trailer parts.

Currently, recycling is not a permitted use in the Commercial Off ice/Light Industrial zone on Wright-Debow Road.

Traffic engineer John Rea testified on behalf of the applicant. Rea discussed the condition of the pavement on Wright-Debow Road and whether the road could handle the traffic f low.

Read said he conducted traffic studies during the summer of 2017. He admitted he was not an expert on pavement but as a traffic engineer is familiar with capacity and safety issues and if there was a safety issue there would have been a posted truck restriction on Wright-Debow Road.

He added that there were existing businesses in the vicinity that also generate truck traffic.

Rea said he conducted follow up traffic counts in October of that year and turning movement counts were performed at the intersection of Patterson and Wright-Debow roads. He added that he did not feel there were any issues with traffic counts.

Attorney Ray Shea and Ian Borden

The Jackson Times, July 28, 2018, Page 7 represented the applicant, A&A Truck Parts, Inc., during the most recent meeting. Borden said the facility was not a junkyard and the distinction is a recycling licensed Class A center. Shea added that it could be both.

Thatcher spoke du r ing the public comment period and said that the State Department of Transportation had a regulation that a junkyard could not be within 300 feet of a highway.

Noise level complaints were also addressed during the session and it was noted that diesel loaders and excavators would be operating in an enclosed building that would prevent anyone from hearing any noise. The hours of operation would be Monday - Saturday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Shea said the applicant would comply concerning noise level restrictions. He referred to a document presented by Thatcher which is a 1970 law that states you can comply within 1,000 feet.

Denise Garner, of Evergreen Court, lives 1,000 feet from the proposed facility. She said a brick and mortar building enclosure would be better to contain noise and that clearing 48 acres will amplify the noise.

Shea responded that noise is a quality of life issue in a residential area and felt it’s not a big deal to record noise.

Mike Testa, of Ernest Way, said there were too many homes to pass to get to that property and the hours of operation are a problem. He also suggested the applicant move this business to another end of town.

Thatcher said he felt the plan doesn’t meet the objectives of the Master Plan and needs no fewer than eight variances.

He added that the junkyard definition states more than one abandoned vehicle shall be deemed a junkyard and it doesn’t belong in the LM Zone.

Katherine Testa, of Ernest Way, expressed concer ns with f ire hazards through the woods and was advised there was a storm water basin for fire suppression.

Others expressed concerns about fencing, theft, and vandalism Thom Kirwan, the chief operating officer of A&A Trucking said the fi rm chooses to be closed on Sundays at their Freehold facility and can operate to 6 p.m. He said there would be no stacking or vehicles waiting to come in. He said the company buys vehicles from auctions and trucking outfits which are purchased on site.

The application hearing is scheduled to continue during the board’s Sept. 5 meeting.

Jackson Police Tip Line JACKSON – The Jackson Police Department has established a Confidential Tip Line to receive crime or suspicious activity information from concerned citizens: 732-833-3032.

The Tip Line will be answered by a voice mail system and reviewed by a detective. All contact information will be kept confidential and you will receive a return call if requested.

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

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th) introduced legislation, with Rep. Donald Payne, Jr. (D-10th) as the lead cosponsor, that would promptly set up a common local broadcast channel specifically for citizens of New Jersey, so they can receive potentially life-saving news, information, and emergency programming.

“New Jersey is one of only two states without a common broadcast channel specific to the state. This means that in times of emergency - like we saw in Superstorm Sandy - many residents may not be receiving potentially life-saving news and information,” Smith said. “This legislation - the Local Television Service and Emergency Preparedness

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

Bill Would Create NJ Broadcast Channel For Emergency Alerts

Act - aims to correct this long-standing problem.”

Among other actions, Smith’s bill would: • Provide a consistent local channel that the citizens of New Jersey could turn to for important and potentially life-saving news and information, such as alerts from the Emergency Alert System (EAS), updates from the National Weather Center, and AMBER alerts • Designate the channel as

an LP-1 EAS station, so it could better disseminate EAS warnings to TV and radio stations around the state.

• Ensure that the channel would provide local and state news and a nightly newscast specific to the state.

• Require that a New Jersey commercial newscast would begin within 90 days of passage.

While many New Jersey residents are served by New

York and Philadelphia broadcast stations for daily news, during times of crisis and emergencies those stations will provide information relevant to those specific geographic regions.

For example, when Superstorm Sandy ravaged the Northeast region in October, 2012, New York broadcast stations concentrated coverage on Long Island, Queens, Brooklyn, the subways and City Hall with limited mention of New Jersey areas.

The New Jersey Broadcasters Association has expressed its unanimous support for Smith’s legislation. “The Smith/Payne bill would remedy a problematic situation in New Jersey,” the association stated in a letter. “H.R. 6416 provides for an elegantly simple solution to New Jersey’s lack of local television coverage, while simultaneously augmenting the EAS. As the most densely populated state in the nation, New Jersey’s residents deserve this relief.”

Studying High Numbers Of Cancer In Firefighters and 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-ofduty 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 reintroduced 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.), Bernie 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.

Anna Diaz-White Executive Director 180 Turning Lives Around, Inc.

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

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.

Be Wary Of Turtle Crossings During This Nesting Season

SUPERIOR IOR SERVICES

WOW!

HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING PLUMBING ELECTRICAL

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

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

Turtles can sometimes travel long distances to find the perfect spot in which to lay eggs. This means crossing roadways, which puts the turtles at risk of being struck by passing vehicles. The summer shore traffic also increases this risk.

Turtles are particularly vulnerable because they are slow moving and their defense mechanism is usually to stop and withdraw into their shell when feeling threatened, according to the NJDEP. “With summer approaching, New Jersey’s turtles are on the move looking for nesting sites to lay eggs,” DEP Acting Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe said. “This puts them in great danger as they frequently have to cross roadways to find the right location. We encourage motorists to drive cautiously so the turtles can cross roads and arrive to their nesting destination safely.”

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

The diamondback terrapin is particularly at risk as NJ’s only saltmarsh turtle. The terrapin is at risk now due to habitat loss, drowning in crab traps, and vehicle strikes, according to NJDEP. The loss of coastal habitat has increased mortality risk as diamondback terrapins search for these

nesting areas, often located along roadsides, increasing the risk of vehicle strikes.

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

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

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

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

Move the turtle in the direction that it is heading.

A turtle will turn around if it is put in the wrong direction.

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

Never take a turtle into your personal possession.

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

Most turtle eggs will hatch in 60 to 80 days.

A small cage can be placed around the nest to offer some additional protection for the first 30 to 45 days, but it must be removed before the hatchlings emerge.

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

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!

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.

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.

County Warns Of Rabies Risk

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department urges pet owners especially those whose pets spend time outside during the summer months - to get their pets’ rabies vaccinations updated. Pets can encounter wild or stray animals that carry the disease; Ocean County has three reported cases so far involving a raccoon, a skunk and a cat.

“There are some very serious health risks associated with being bitten by a rabid animal,” said Daniel E. Regenye, the health department’s public health coordinator.

“While many stray animals and wildlife may look adorable, any stray animal may pose the risk of being positive for rabies and should not be approached due to the unpredictability of a rabid animal. With the season upon us for the birth of many kittens, it is important to remember that stray kittens are also not always harmless. Our residents and visitors are urged to take appropriate precautions for their own safety and contact their local animal control should they notice stray animals and wildlife in their neighborhood acting strangely, foaming from the mouth, dragging rear legs or being aggressive.”

Rabies is transmitted through bites from infected animals’ saliva. Laboratory tests

can determine if a human or animal is rabid.

Testing can save people from unnecessary medical treatment if the animal was, in fact, not rabid.

“If a person is bit by a cat or dog it is very important that animal control authorities are made aware in order to capture the animal to commence a 10-day observation period to determine the potential for rabies. But if the animal is suspected to be rabid and is not captured, medical attention should immediately be sought to determine the need for treatment,” Regenye said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said rabies is 100 percent preventable in humans with proper medical care.

However, if allowed to develop, there is no known cure and rabies is fatal.

Anyone who encounters a suspected infected animal should contact local animal control immediately to report what was observed. If bitten, seek medical attention immediately.

The county’s animal shelters offer rabies clinics. The Northern Ocean County Animal Facilities in Jackson holds clinics the first and third weeks each month.

The Southern Ocean County Animal Facilities in Stafford holds its clinics the second and fourth weeks of the month.

For more information on rabies and its prevention, visit phu2.org.

Children of OCEAN, Inc. Head Start Receive Grant From United Way 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 development 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.

Butterflies and Hummingbirds: Extraordinary Pollinators

JACKSON – Join us for a Free Lecture on Aug. 2, 2018 at 2–3:30 p.m. at the Forest Resource Education Center, 495 Don Connor Blvd, Jackson.

Pollinators are integral to our eco-system from the food we eat and the beautiful flowers that we grow. In fact, they are key to the production of nearly 75 percent of crops and almost 80 percent of all flowering plants.

FREC and the Ocean County Master Gardeners will offer a lecture program to discuss how to increase the survival opportunities for pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds. Creating pollinator habitat includes choosing native flowers and host plants for insects.

Join us to discuss ways how to make your garden a haven for these beautiful and useful creatures.

New Jersey Vows Zero Tolerance On Hate Crimes

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

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

Among the officials in attendance were Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato and OCPO Public Affairs Director Al Della Fave.

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

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

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.
