By Kimberly Bosco MANAHAWKIN – St. Mary’s Parish Center held its annual “Nights of Summer” carnival in the church parking lot off of McKinley Avenue from July 17-22. The popular event brings friends and families out for a fun evening of rides, games, food,

and raffles each year.

This year the carnival offered discounted armbands; for $3 attendees could bring non-perishable food donations to the church.

Rides ranged from the big Ferris wheel that lit up the night sky, to bumper cars and the Frog Hopper.

There were also carnival games

where kids could win stuffed animals and special prizes, as well as a Super 50/50 and hourly 50/50 raffles for the parents. The carnival also boasted nightly entertainment.

The St. Mary’s Carnival is sponsored each year by dozens of local establishments to help make the “6 Nights of Family Fun” a success.

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 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; (Hollywood - See Page 13)

municipalities on the shutdown of the nearby Oyster Creek Generating Station, owned by Exelon Generation.

Stafford Approves Partial Ban On Plastic Bags

By Kimberly Bosco STAFFORD – After months of fi ne-tuning, the Stafford Township Council fi nally approved their ordinance to ban single-use plastic bags, after reintroducing the ordinance at last month’s meeting.

The ordinance was first introduced in February of this year. After facing some opposition from residents, the council decided to hold off on introducing it and made plans to discuss the proposal with local businesses. Following about four months of working on the original proposal, the council decided it was time to reintroduce the idea during their June meeting.

“We took great care to contact all the businesses in the town, get feedback from them, (Plastic Bags - See Page 13)

NRC:

Continued From Page 1 at the Lacey Township Community Hall on July 17 where dozens of residents gathered to hear the officials’ reports for the decommissioning of the plant in more detail, as well as field questions from the public.

decommissioning process.

“One of the biggest things I hear is that when the plant shuts down, the NRC goes away,” said Watson. “That can’t be farther from the truth.”

The NRC will be using the inspection manual guidelines to continue expecting the plant until the license is terminated.

Overseeing Decommissioning The presentations started with the NRC’s Bruce Watson, chief of the Reactor Decommissioning Branch. Watson discussed the overall process of overseeing decommissioning activities.

“It’s nothing new to us in how this work is done and we ensure it’s done safely,” said Watson, noting that the NRC has terminated licenses for over 72 complex material sites, power reactors, and research reactors.

Key regulations for the decommissioning process include: license termination, power reactor termination, independent spent fuel storage installation license (ISFSI), and inspection manual chapter 2561 dedicated to reactor decommissioning.

Included in the license termination is the process of fully, radiologically decontaminating the site and meeting the NRC’s criteria for unrestricted use.

“All of the sites that have been decommissioned in the US, including the power reactors, have been released for unrestricted use, meaning the owner can use the property for any purpose they want to after we terminate the license,” said Watson.

The inspection manual governs the reactor

Storing Spent Fuel Later on in the process, ISFSI deals with the storage of spent fuel, which for Oyster Creek, will be at the site for quite a while, according to Watson. Exelon plans to utilize dry cask storage using the SAFSTOR method for the spent fuel at Oyster Creek.

The NRC stated that SAFSTOR allows for natural radioactive decay, produces less waste, exposes workers to less radiation, and is the most efficient option, allowing for dismantlement at any time.

Jeff Dostal, director of decommissioning, noted during his presentation that SAFSTOR allows all structures not supporting spent fuel storage to be “drained, de-energized, and retired in place, ready for removal.”

Dry cask storage involves removing the spent fuel pool and storing fuel on-site in dry cask storage systems. These are metal casks that the spent fuel gets stored in that then gets welded up and placed in concrete casks. NRC officials will come out and inspect these regularly.

The site will transform to include just an ISFSI only site where spent fuel is stored in a protected area and the rest of the site will be dormant.

Cost & Environmental Impact A concern for some residents, such as Jeff Tittel, director of the NJ Sierra Club, was the security of the dry cask storage against situations where severe weather can affect them.

“The plant itself is falling apart and located on a site vulnerable to sea level rise,” said Tittel. “As long as the plant isn’t dismantled, the community remains at risk.”

Tittel used his time at the public hearing to push for a more accelerated decommissioning plan to reduce the risk to the community and reduce the overall cost to taxpayers. According to Tittel, Exelon’s 60-year timeline for decommissioning will cost taxpayers $1.4 billion. “Exelon wants to take longer to close the plant to make more money.”

NRC officials combatted concerns for the lengthy decommissioning process, stating that they must follow federal guidelines for the process and Exelon has up to 60 years to do so. Dostal’s presentation noted that the timeline could be shortened if new technologies for fuel storage are approved, but as of right now, the NRC plans to utilize the full time allotted for decommissioning.

“March of each year [the licensee] is required to send us [the NRC] a status on the decommissioning funds, so every year they are reporting to us what money is left or how much has been grown,” said Watson.

The NRC verifies that amount each year.

Watson also said that the PSDAR calculates the cost of decommissioning to be around $984 million.

Dostal’s presentation focused mainly on

the PSDAR (Post Shutdown Decommissioning Report) which includes a description of decommissioning activities planned for the plant, a “high-level schedule” of decommissioning activities, cost estimates, and environmental impacts.

While NRC officials claimed that environmental safety was one of their priorities during decommissioning, some residents still harbored concerns, such as Katie Smith of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance.

“The generic environmental impact statement that the PSDAR relies on heavily is from 2002, so I’m wondering what the NRC thinks they’re missing,” she stated during the public hearing. Smith inquired to see if the NRC required a more updated environmental impact study off of which to base the PSDAR. Watson noted that the NRC is in the process of updating the environmental impact study currently, however “pretty much the same methods you would use for decommissioning are still good from 20 years ago.”

He explained that the NRC is depending on the updated environmental impact statement and anything new that is discovered through the licensee’s review and the NRC’s own environmental review. All of these factors will be brought together with the PSDAR. Overall Timeline Dostal’s presentation on the PSDAR also incorporated a timeline for the decommissioning of Oyster Creek.

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 The Editor ripped from their mothers’ early 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.

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

Don’t Combine Small Towns: Bigger Is Not Better CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove

TR ENTON – Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Ru mpf, and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove urged residents to reject the false narrative that forced municipal consolidation will produce a windfall of savings for taxpayers.

Forced or coerced municipal consolidation is an issue that rears its head periodically but, nonetheless, should be taken seriously given its severe and wide-ranging implications

for representative government in our state. Residents would be best served by rejecting the false narrative that having Trenton unilaterally redraw the borders of their home towns by one means or another will somehow produce a windfall of savings.

For the most part, tax bills are high because of the broken state school funding formula and Trenton’s misplaced spending priorities.

Smaller government has proven far more effective

in providing services as opposed to cities, and the State, for that matter. So, the question remains: why are smaller and mid-sized municipalities, as a whole, even being labeled as culprits of high taxation?

It’s one thing for Trenton to lecture other government entities about the need to be more fiscally responsible. But it’s an entirely different level of arrogance for Trenton to compel municipalities to operate under the city model largely defi ned by an expansive, cumbersome and costly bureaucracy, as if this somehow represents reform.

Municipal operations comprise only a small portion of property tax bills.

Under the two-percent tax

Bill Would Reauthorize National Flood Insurance Program From The Desk Of

Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHI NGTON, D.C. – C o n g r e s s m a n To m MacArthur (R-3rd), whose district was devastated by Superstorm Sandy, took action to keep the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) from expiring.

With NFIP set to expire on July 31, the House of Representatives passed a five-year reauthorization on Nov 14, 2017. T h is bill included numerous provisions authored by MacArthur to limit premium increases, increase mitigation coverage and require more accountabil-

ity at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Unfortunately, the Senate has failed to act.

Recently, Congressman MacArthur introduced the National Flood Insurance Program Extension Act to keep NFIP authorized th rough hu r r icane season. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise signed on as an original cosponsor to this bill.

“I have met numerous times with House leadership and explained the critical need for NFIP to be reauthorized. This bill

ext e nd s N FI P t h roug h Nov. 30, allowing over 140 million A mer icans living in coastal communities, like Ocean County, to be covered through the entire hurricane season,” Congressman MacArthur said. “I am calling on my colleagues on both sides of the aisle - and from both chambers of Congress - to come together and pass this bill to ensu re that families and communities are not put at risk.

“I will continue to work with House and Senate leadership on a long-term reauthorization that gives homeow ners cer t ai nt y, ensures affordability, increases mitigation funds for shore communities, and instills accountability at FEM A for how they t reat disaster victims,” he said.

levy cap, municipalities have little f lexibility to increase spending, whereas the State has no such limitations on spending and can, essentially, cook up overly-optimistic revenue projections to give the appearance – at least on paper – of a balanced budget.

Forced consolidation advocates fail to see that the imposition of the cap has already compelled municipalities to share services, when practical. But to be effective, shared services agreements should be left to elected local officials who know better than a Trenton bureaucrat how to run their municipality o r, m o r e i m p o r t a n t l y, how residents want their town run.

If Trenton was t r uly committed to curtailing wasteful spending at the local level then it has to look no further than cities that can’t or won’t manage their fi nances responsibly.

Media reports of wastef ul spending occur ring in our cities are not only jaw-dropping but infuriating, especially when it

concerns cities whose budgets are largely subsidized by non-resident taxpayers.

Experience has taught us and common sense shows us that smaller government leads to greater transparency. Corruption and waste is far easier to prevent or root out when you can follow the money as opposed to a multilayer bureaucracy that millions of taxpayer dollars are poured into.

Forced consolidation also disenfranchises voters by denying them the basic right to choose how their town is r un. Voters are highly likely to reject the “Trenton knows best” policy approach just on principle. Generally speaking, there will almost always be winners and losers when municipalities consolidate.

Taxpayers of one municipality are going to take on the debt, mismanaged services and/or expenses of the other municipality.

Residents are already empowered under State law to direct their local elected officials to proceed with the consolidation process.

However, to date, only

two municipalities in the entire state have chosen to consolidate. This is very telling, to say the least.

If the public so favored consolidation and was convinced savings could be achieved, then why haven’t more towns consolidated?

Are the “home rule” advocates who have the audacity to want to preserve their voice in local government and reject ceding more authority to Trenton somehow ruining it for the rest of us? Certainly not.

By and large, most residents prefer their town as it is as opposed to what the Trenton bureaucracy determines is best for them.

Trenton’s policies are generally regarded as the primary culprit of high taxes.

Residents simply don’t trust state bureaucrats to have even more power over municipalities then they already have under current law and regulations.

Let’s call forced consolidation what it really is: a diversion from the real, politically-driven and correctable causes of high taxation.

NRC:

Continued From Page 4 transition/planning stage and 5 individual phases, the Site Decommissioning Phased Approach takes us from January of 2018 to September of 2078, when the NRC hopes to see the license terminated.

Transition Planning: This stage can be anywhere from 2 to 5 years and includes the formation of transition teams, development of staffing plans, development of strategic decisions, and the submission of official reports (like PSDAR). We are currently in this stage right now.

Phase 1: This phase should take less than 30 days and hopes to take off in September of this year (the plant is slated to close Sept.

17, 2018). It includes offloading the core, implementing a permanently defueled e-plan, and implementing a certified fuel handler program.

These first two stages make up the Decommissioning Transition sector of the process, which will take us to October 2018. Next comes the SAFSTOR/DECON stage.

Phase 2: Next is SAFSTOR/DECON, where all the fuel will be removed from the reactor. Phase 2 should take about 10 to 15 months and include: the movement of fuel to ISFSI strategic plan, retirement of structures not supporting spent fuel, and the implementation of defueled license and tech specs.

Phase 3: This phase should take 3-5 years.

Here we can expect to see spent fuel moved to ISFSI and completed preparations for

collapsing the Site Protected Area. We should see all spent fuel in dry cask storage by November 2023, according to the timeline.

Phase 4: This is the last stage of SAFSTRO/DECON, which can take anywhere from 10 to 49 years. Here will see a continuation of any decommissioning activities and the site will become ISFSI only. The NRC anticipates the fuel to be accepted by the Department of Energy by September 2034; however this is a rough estimate, officials stressed.

This last phase makes up the Site Restoration stage.

Phase 5: This stage is for site restoration, which should take 2-4 years. Here the license is terminated and the site will be restored for any future use of the land.

The NRC estimated by December of 2077, the site deconstruction will be complete.

License termination is estimated for September 2078.

In related news, the NRC also recently approved Exelon’s request for changes to the post-shutdown emergency plans at Oyster Creek.

“The requested exemptions would allow Exelon to reduce emergency planning requirements and subsequently revise the OCNGS (Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station) Emergency Plan to ref lect the permanently defueled condition of the station,” according to Exelon’s statement.

The changes to the emergency plans will take effect approximately one year after the plant shuts down on September 17, 2018.

–Photos by Kimberly Bosco (Clockwise) Bruce Watson of the NRC began the meeting with an overview of the decommissioning process. Jeff Tittel of the NJ Sierra Club took the mic to discuss some concerns he has for the plant. Jeff Dostal of the NRC discussed what the PSDAR means for Oyster Creek.

Continued From Page 1 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 staffing 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

and work with them to get the ordinance where we need it to be so it can work for everybody,” said Mayor John Spodofora during the reintroduction.

While residents should prepare to have their reusable canvas bags handy, there are some exceptions to the ban that are worth noting.

The new and improved ordinance does not ban all plastic, but rather, focuses on banning those types that are single-use and avoidable.

Exceptions include plastics such as bags used for medical purposes, bags for produce, meat, fish, poultry, frozen foods, bags used for live fish, bags used to deliver newspapers, dry cleaner or door-hanger

The Southern Ocean Times, July 28, 2018, Page 13 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.

garment bags, garbage can liners, and bags used to deliver food items to customers in a food assistance program.

The essence of the proposal, however, remains the same.

Spodofora and the council members have continually stressed that the ban will be a good step towards protecting our local shore environment, and keeping plastics out of our oceans and bays.

“It’s a big concern…Somebody has to take the responsibility to make this step,” said Spodofora.

Councilman David Taylor stated during a previous meeting, “It has to start somewhere.”

Spodofora noted that he hopes Stafford’s efforts will spark a change in other municipalities, or even counties and states, for the better.

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.

Why A Survey Is Essential For Successful Closing

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 clos-

ing then any disputes, whether it is with the seller, a neighbor or a Dina M. Vicari Esq. 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 those homeowners who, after 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.

Good Fishing Found Between Windy Days

By Jim Hutchinson Sr. BEACH HAVEN – Although currently in the midst of a mid-summer weather disturbance featuring high winds, fishing in Beach Haven has settled down into a typical summer routine for the boats of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association.

On the inshore artificial reefs the main attractions are black sea bass and summer flounder. Captain Jimmy Zavacky had the

Damiano group out on the “Reel Determined” on a day featuring sunny skies and calm seas.

In addition to a large number of throwbacks, the group managed to take home fluke and sea bass fillets for some fish dinners.

Captain Carl Sheppard had a crew of 14 anglers out for an afternoon of fishing last Friday. The water temperature was a warm 72 degrees and the winds were less than 10 knots. About 70 fish were caught with

10 keeper sea bass and 2 fluke being large enough to take home.

Captain Dave Kreines had the Gray family out on the “Byte Me” for some bay and inlet fishing. The inlet produced only sea robins and a short fluke. Captain Dave headed back into the bay for one of his hot spots where a keeper fluke was boated immediately followed by a good number of fluke.

Captain Bob Gerkens continued his suc-

Speechless Star At Brick High School

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Never give up on your dreams, no matter what obstacles or challenges you face in life.

That was the message from Micah Fowler, 20, who grew up in Barnegat and has the featured role in ABC TV’s “Speechless,” which was just picked up for a third season of 22 episodes.

Micah took time out of his shooting schedule in Los Angeles to give a motivational speech at Brick High School to the middle and high school BASE Camp students on self-advocacy and focusing on their abilities, not disability. (BASE –an acronym for Behavioral Academic and Social Education - is a summer camp for special needs students).

Micah is one of the only actors with a disability playing a character with a disability on primetime television. On “Speechless,” he plays JJ DiMeo, a wheelchair-bound teenager with teenage problems, but is non-verbal and NEED AN EMERGENCY HOME REPAIR? WE’RE HERE TO HELP AT NO CHARGE

speaks through an embarrassing full-time aide.

In real life, Micah has less pronounced cerebral palsy than his TV character, and is able to walk using a walker. He spoke from the stage at the Brick High School auditorium with help from his mother and business manager, Tammy.

Micah got his start in community theater as a child, which gave him the experience to become self-confident, Tammy said.

He started his professional acting career around the age of nine when he appeared on Blues Clues, and then he appeared on several episodes of Sesame Street.

At 15, Micah was cast in his first movie, Jason Reitman’s 2013 movie Labor Day, which starred Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin, after auditioning for the role in New York City. The audition was so stressful that he burst into tears afterwards, Tammy recalled.

“Most people go on 150 auditions before they get a role, it’s really a tough business,” she said. “The important thing is, you were seen by that casting director and they might use you for something else.”

She said that her son’s cerebral palsy was the result of a stroke he had in utero while she was pregnant. Speech disorders are common among those with CP, and while it takes time for Micah to speak, he was able to express himself to the audience.

Micah was asked by his agent to submit a

HANDS FOR ALL A Division of HOMES FOR ALL, INC. A Not-For-Profit Affordable Housing Developer 309 Hooper Ave. • Toms River, NJ 08753 Tel: 732.286.7929 • Fax: 732.286.9698

“personality tape” for an untitled project, which was a tape of him talking about himself and joking around. A year later, his agent asked for another personality tape for the project which was now given a name: “Speechless.”

A few days later, the casting director sent six scenes to their home in Barnegat, which his family taped and the agent loved. On his 18th birthday, Micah found out he got the role, Tammy said.

“It had been my dream to be an actor. When I got the opportunity to do this show I was so thankful,” he said.

“I am so honored to be a part of this show. I get social media messages every day. People say ‘You have really changed my perspective, thank you for bringing a smile to my son or my daughter,’” Micah said.

“We get a lot of those messages,” Tammy added. “On Tuesday there was one from a boy who said he never say anyone on TV like himself, who has physical disabilities.”

Speechless has made a big difference to people with disabilities because it is changing society’s perception of people who are disabled, she said.

Some people are condescending to those with disabilities, Tammy said. “People have patted Micah on the head and said ‘good boy.’

They get into your personal space, people would talk down to him and society didn’t believe in his potential, so there are a lot of

cessful trips offshore last week on the “Hot Tuna” with a trip to the 30-Fathom line on a 12-hour charter. The Robertson brothers boated two yellowfi n tuna to 35-pounds along with a nice “gaffer” mahi. “Gaffer” refers to the fact a gaff was necessary to boat the fish due to its large size.

Additional information on the boats of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association can be found at BHCFA.net.

challenges Micah has faced along the way,” she said. “My best advice is speak positive words into these kids’ lives, help them find out who they are.”

“I just want to say, never give up on your dreams, no matter what challenges or obstacles you have,” Micah said.

BASE camp director Brett Novick, who is a school counselor at Osbornville Elementary School, opened the floor to questions from the audience.

One of the children asked if Micah was paralyzed.

Tammy said that her son can feel his limbs, that CP affects motor skills.

Another question was about where the series is shot and how long it takes to shoot an episode. It takes a week to shoot one episode, and every day is different for Micah, Tammy said.

He could have a long day where he is in eight scenes, or sometimes his day can be shorter when he is in fewer scenes. The family spends three weeks a month in Los Angeles and one week at their home in Barnegat.

One of the BASE students asked Micah about his future goals. Micah said he would love to be in a Star Wars movie.

Micah is the ambassador of the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation and was recently named #13 in Forbes “Top 30 under 30 class of 2018,” which acknowledges the inspiring work of young entrepreneurs and game changers today.

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

Here we are in the heart of grilling season, a time when people who love outdoor cooking will look for any excuse to fire up the grill. Enthusiasts happily toss just about any ingredient on the fire, from heads of radicchio or Belgian endive quickly charred for a delicious salad to kabobs, sausages, burgers, fish fillets, steaks and chops to grilled vegetable side dishes and even pizzas.

I’m surprised by one food category, however, that continues to be met by skepticism when it comes to grilling: fresh fruit. People seem to think that sweet things won’t benefit from grilling. But the truth is the same aspects of grilling that make savory ingredients taste so good can benefit sweet things as well - especially fresh fruit.

A few minutes over a hot fire will caramelize the natural sugars in ripe but firm fruit, intensifying the flavor while making it more tender and juicy. Grill pitted nectarine or peach halves, for example, and place them on grill-toasted slices of pound cake, and you have an amazing summer dessert - especially when you add a scoop of your favorite ice cream before serving.

You don’t have to confine grilled fruit to the dessert part of your menu, either. I especially love to make quick salsas based on grilled fresh fruit to serve with any grilled seafood, poultry or meat that might taste even better accompanied by a combination of sweet, tangy and spicy flavors.

For the perfect example of how delicious grilled fruit salsas can be, I’d like to share my recipe here for sea scallops accompanied by a lively, colorful salsa of fresh pineapple (at its peak of season right now) tossed with grilled jalapeno chiles, bell pepper and red onion. The salsa is quick and easy to prepare once your fire is hot, taking just a few minutes on the grill and a few more for cooling, chopping and tossing. All that remains to do is grill the scallops, which take about 2 minutes per side (don’t overcook them), and serve it all on a platter or individual plates.

The salsa goes perfectly with any other main dish you like, from shrimp to salmon to tuna, boneless pork chops or steaks. It’s even great on sausages or burgers. And you can vary the ingredients as you wish, adding some grilled firm pitted nectarine or plum halves or other fresh herbs such as basil, chives or parsley; or using lemon or orange juice instead of the lime.

So you can go on customizing and enjoying it all through the summer grilling season.

GR I LLED SEA SCA LLOPS W I T H 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 12mm) 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.
