By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – The township has renewed its contract with Homes Now Inc. to facilitate the implementation of its affordable housing obligation. Homes Now is a non-profit corporation that provides affordable housing and services to communities throughout New Jersey.

The non-profit organization built and operates the Chambers Bridge Residence at

175 Chambers Bridge Road (across from the post office), where some 184 affordable rental units are occupied by low-income senior citizens and disabled residents.

Earlier this summer, the governing body introduced an ordinance to sell the apartment building to Ohio-based National Church Residences (NCR) for $1,650,000, which was questioned by resident (Affordable - See Page 4)

By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – A plan to develop 6.2 acres behind the Pioneer Hose Fire Company #1 on Drum Point Road passed a major hurdle when the Planning Board voted unanimously in favor of a preliminary subdivision with variance during their

About a dozen volunteer firefighters from Pioneer Hose came to the meeting to express their support of the sale of the land, which would provide funds for large-scale improvements to the fire station.

College: Continued From Page 2 The Vikings of coach Bob Mazenec were 17-19 overall, including 7-5 in Region XIX. On the links: OCC’s golf team placed second with a 329 at the Garden State Athletic Conference Championship at the Galloping Hill Golf Course in Kenilworth.

Freshman Patrick Carney (Manchester Township)) and sophomore Michael Spino (Jackson Memorial) paced OCC with rounds of 77. Sophomore David Linthicum (Brick Memorial) carded an 81.

Carney and Spino made the first team.

Linthicum was a second-teamer. Sophomores Ryan Stanley (East) and Kevin Laney (Pinelands Regional) carded rounds of 94 and 99, respectively, for coach Rich Wortman.

At the net: The men’s tennis team placed fourth at the Region XIX Championship at Mercer County Park.

The Vikings’ top players were sophomore first singles player Isaiah Hill (Manchester), freshman fourth singles player Anthony Mazzone (Brick Memorial) and freshman fifth singles player Ryan Patterson (Point Pleasant Boro).

The team was 3-6 overall. Its coach was Wayne Ruhl.

On target: The Vikings’ men’s basketball team featured five players who averaged in double figures in points per game.

Freshman forward Alfred Demby (Lakewood) led the team in scoring at 22.0 points per game for first-year coach Patrick Boylan.

Sophomore guard Damien Singleton (Toms River North) was second on the club at 15.4 points per game.

Affordable: Continued From Page 1 George Scott during the July 24 council meeting.

Scott asked why the property was being sold for only $1,650,000 when it was assessed at over $11 million.

Council Attorney Kevin Starkey said the township only owns the land, not the buildings themselves.

“The township entered an agreement a number of years ago with the predecessor of Homes Now, Inc. where Homes Now would build those buildings and own and operate affordable housing on that site,” he said.

Starkey said it is true that the assessed value is roughly $11 million including the buildings, but the land is assessed at about $2 million.

NCR is the largest non-profit affordable housing owner and operator in the country, so they would be buying the property as a package, and the 184 units would continue as affordable housing units, he said.

“Since around 1992, the township has been getting rent of $1 per year, and when the sale is taking place, NCR wanted to continue that at $1 a year, they wanted to get the lease,” Starkey explained.

“We decided rather than rent it for $1 a year for the next 50 years, we would sell it for $1.65 million, which I think makes very good

Third in scoring was freshman guard Patrick Marinaccio (Toms River North) at 13.3 points per outing.

Sophomore guard-forward R.J. Laing (Toms River South) averaged 12.6 points per game for fourth on the team.

Fifth on the club in scoring was freshman guard Sean O’Donnell (Toms River North). The former Mariner averaged 11.7 points per game.

The Vikings were 9-16 overall, including 6-14 in Region XIX. More on the hardwood: Sophomore guard Sydney Ulrich (Brick Memorial) paced the Vikings’ women’s team in scoring at 17.8 points per game.

Tied for second on the team in scoring were Brignola, a guard, and Iyanla Donaldson, a freshman forward from Lakewood, at 6.1 points per outing.

The Vikings were 2-21 overall, including 1-15 in Region XIX, under first-year coach Tom Westen. Taking over in 2018-19 is former Southern athlete Avery Hodgson-Walters, an assistant under Westen.

Smart and swift: The Vikings’ men’s cross country team was named the 2017-18 Academic Team of the Year in Division III by the National Junior College Athletic Association.

The Vikings of coach Jen Nelson, the former Barnegat and Monmouth University distance standout, posted a 3.49 grade point average.

Team members were freshmen Dylan Antonelli (Lacey), Kyle Sarno (Barnegat) and Grant Tokarski (a Brick resident and a Calvary Academy graduate) and sophomores Zachary Piscopo (Southern), Xavier Ramirez (Brick Township High School) and Noah Reilly (Toms River North).

economic sense for the township and for the residents of the town,” the attorney said.

The affordable housing restrictions were set to expire in 2044, and NCR is bound to that by the lease. Starkey said the township has negotiated in the deed to extend the affordable housing restrictions for at least 40 more years.

“They are bound to that by recorded document. We wanted to do that to make sure they weren’t going to do anything else with that property, and they’re not,” Starkey said. “So, it’s an extension of the original timeframe by about 15 years.”

The contract hasn’t been approved yet, and it would be on the council agenda sometime within the next several meetings, where the public would have the opportunity to comment before it is put up for a fi nal vote.

Other affordable Brick properties provided by Homes Now include Dottie’s House for survivors of domestic violence; 12 apartments in Tudor Village for the intellectually disabled and for veterans; and about 35 single family homes scattered throughout the township.

Carol Wolfe is the founder and CEO of Homes Now Inc. and is married to NJ Assemblyman David W. Wolfe of the 10th Legislative District.

The next council meeting will be on Tuesday August 14 at 7 p.m.

Houses: Continued From Page 1 do with this land - it conforms with the Master Plan,” Doyle said. “The only questions are about does the subdivision and drainage meet all ordinances?”

The 2,700-square-foot homes would be built in a style that is typical of the area with four bedrooms, two and a half baths and would sell for about $425,000, he said.

The homes would have basements and two-car garages and all utilities would be underground.

“Zoning allows for three to five units an acre. We could have far more houses than we propose,” Doyle said.

The cul-de-sac, Law-Win Road, would be connected to the Pioneer Hose Fire Company with an access road in the rear, and is flanked by Firehouse Road to the north, and Church Road to the south.

There would be a 50-foot wooded buffer between the new homes and the row of houses on Church Road, Doyle said. The

Lawyer:

Continued From Page 1 laundering that money through various bank accounts, his attorney trust, and business accounts.

Robert Novy, 66, of Brick, pleaded guilty to first-degree money laundering in Ocean County Superior Court, before Judge Michael T. Collins.

The Brick Times, August 4, 2018, Page 7 buffer totals about one-sixth of the property.

The proposal has been before the township’s architectural review board, who approved the development, he said.

Multiple meetings have been held between the fi re company, engineers, the builder and others to discuss improvements to the project, such as drainage issues, the attorney said.

Doyle said the firehouse has been in its present location since the 1940s. Between 1958-1975, deeds were conveyed to the fire company with no restrictions, and into 1985 the property was consolidated into one parcel.

In 2005, there was a minor subdivision of the fire house and the surrounding property, he said.

“Legally, we believe we own the property and the title company believes it, and the records will sustain what I say,” Doyle said.

“That is not the issue with this board.”

The engineer for Arya Properties, Mat Wilder of Morgan Engineering, testified that the property would have two stormwa-

ter basins and that “no water would be able to get from the basin into any basement.”

He said that more material would be excavated than they need, so they would “raise everything” and there would be no trucks bringing material onto the property or removing material from the property.

During public comment, Church Road resident Linda Dirienzo said she was concerned about one of the stormwater basins.

“It wraps around the back of my house.

I don’t mean to demean [Wilder’s] expertise, but will there be standing water?” she asked.

The engineer cited completed soil borings and infiltration tests and said that the basin is legally required to drain within 72 hours, but due to the “beach sand” at the site, even when the basin is full, the water would drain out within 24 hours.

“There would be no horizontal migration because of the speed of the vertical migration,” Wilder said.

Another member of the audience, Glenn Tilton, said he came up from where he lives

in Florida to attend the meeting.

“My grandmother gave this land to the fi re company to be used for as a training ground for the fi re department, not to sell off,” he said. Tilton asked if the application could be delayed until he could retain an attorney.

Planning Board Attorney Harold Hensel asked if Tilton owns any property in Brick.

“My attorney will answer that,” Tilton responded.

Hensel said that when the deed was conveyed in 1968 there was no condition about fi re training.

“I’m just trying to uphold the will of my grandparents,” Tilton said.

Hensel said that Tilton could have had counsel at the meeting. “It wouldn’t be appropriate to wait for him to hire counsel, it doesn’t qualify as an objection,” he said. “This is a preliminary hearing...final approval will be required.”

Doyle said he hoped the builder would get final approvals for the development within a year.

The state will seek 10 years in state prison, including three years and four months parole ineligibility, as part of the plea ag reement for f irst- deg ree money laundering. Novy will be sentenced Sept. 28.

Novy admitted to stealing millions - the state believes nearly $3 million from at least two dozen victims - from law firm clients, many of whom didn’t

have close relat ives to g u a rd t hei r interests, or suffered from dementia.

Novy must pay $4 million restitution to victims. He must also surrender his license to practice law in New Jersey and pay the state an anti-money lau nde r i ng prof it e e r i ng pe nalt y of $500,000.

Novy hosted “Inside the Law,” which focused on topics of interest to senior

citizens.

He was arrested Oct. 18, 2016.

Anyone who believes they or someone they know is a victim of Novy’s is asked to write to Deputy Attorney General Kara R. Webster in the State Off ice of Victim Witness Advocacy at WebsterK@njdcj.org, or if they do not have email access, phone 609-3762444.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Blood Donations Saved My Life My name is Evelyn and when I was able to, I donated blood because I knew how vital it was and still is for people who need it.

Years ago, unfortunately, I was told I could no longer donate due to being diagnosed with an extremely rare form of blood cancer, which now requires that I receive blood transfusions almost every week due to very severe anemia.

I just want to thank everybody who makes the sacrifice to donate for people like me, and I praise the efforts, especially now that I know firsthand how important blood donation is.

There is truth in the state that “when you donate blood, you donate life.”

Please Volunteer To Help Lacey Schools On Feb 24, 2018, the Lacey Education Foundation Inc. was born. The purpose of the foundation is to supplement programs and items that the ordinary school budget can not afford. Due to reductions in state funding and caps on property taxes, the Education Foundation will fund items that will bring direct benefit to the students/student achievement.

The five founding Trustees are: Robert Paladino, Domenick Biava, Donna McAvoy, Cyndi Sabatelli and Regina Discenza.

The Lacey Education Foundation is seeking volunteers to form the Development Committee that will screen grants and write donation letters to large nationwide corporations.

We will train all volunteers.

In order to be successful, the foundation plans to operate solely on volunteer power. We thank those that contributed to our start-up funding. Please see our website at laceyeducationfoundation.org for more details or email us at LaceyEF2018@gmail.com.

Letters To the The Editor nation, I am requesting Move VA Clinic To Sears Property I just read your article on the proposed site for the Veterans Administration clinic in Toms River (“Toms River Continues Push For New VA Clinic” in the July 21 edition).

Last week I had suggested to a councilman that the old Sears store should be looked at instead of knocking down more trees and causing more congestion on Hooper Avenue. Using the mall would provide a tremendous amount of parking already there, bus transportation already there, and the ability to go into the mall to shop or eat.

Not only that, the building is up, water and electric are there and it is all on one level.

Move the VA office into the Sears building too. One stop easy access and all of the services a veteran may need.

No running from one shop to another.

Even the outside services, like eyeglasses or shoes, can be located in the area.

It would be less money to establish an existing building than it would be to build a new one.

Hopefully, others would agree with me.

Is Taxation A Form Of Legal Thievery?

Because New Jersey has the highest property tax in

every municipal and county governing body to place the following non-binding referendum question “Is taxation a form of legal thievery?” on the ballot before the deadline of Aug. 17.

This question will bring out every registered voter to the ballot box and it will generate the kind of vital discussion needed for a dramatic change of course.

Simply put, because we are the property of the Creator, and not of the State, taxation is legal thievery.

The alternative to forced cooperation [socialism] in the form of taxation is voluntary cooperation [co-operativism] predicated on the law of equal return [payment for services rendered and accepted]. Co-operativism is not volunterism, whereby you act without expecting anything in return. For the government services you want, you supply your labor, or goods, or money in cooperation with others seeking the same services in the context of the law of equal return.

On July 11, I asked my own municipal governing body to move on the ballot question.

On July 12, I asked my own county governing body to act on the question. They have until Aug. 17 to place it on the November ballot. It is now the time for every citizen to do the same with respect to their own municipal and county governing bodies.

Bay Avenue Intersections Too Crowded

I am happy to see that left turn lanes will be installed near the Target and the Michael’s shopping areas. I would like officials to look at 2 other intersections which could use properly timed left turn signals.

First is the intersection of Bay Avenue and Vaughn Avenue.

There is a left turn onto Vaughn arrow for the people driving west on Bay Avenue while oncoming traffic is still stopped. For people driving east on Bay wanting to make a left onto Vaughn, there is a left turn arrow but it corresponds to the green light for oncoming traffic. So drivers have to wait until the oncoming traffic stops before they can make their left.

I think the left turn arrows in both directions should allow for turns at the same time.

Second is the intersection of Bay Avenue and Cedar Grove Road.

If traveling west on Bay Avenue, drivers are able to make a left turn, based on a left turn signal, onto Cedar Grove before oncoming traffic starts.

For travelers traveling east on Bay, there is no left turn arrow for drivers wanting to make a left onto Cedar Grove. They have to wait until all the oncoming traffic stops in order to make the left.

These 2 issues create bottlenecks and I can’t understand why they weren’t done properly to start with.

A SELECTIVE APPROACH TO GLAUCOMA

With the most common form of glaucoma (“open-angle”), eye fluid known as “aqueous humor” has difficulty draining through a structure known as the “trabecular meshwork.” As a result, pressure within the eye builds and threatens to damage the optic nerve. To treat this problem, the mild treatment known as “selective laser trabeculoplasty” (SLT) may be performed. This outpatient procedure involves focusing a laser on the drainage tissue, thereby initiating a chemical and biological change in the tissue that results in better drainage of fluid. Over a period of several weeks, this response promotes improved fluid flow from the eye, resulting in lower intraocular pressure.

The effect, which can last anywhere from one to five years, varies from patient to patient.

SLT is different from LASIK treatment in that it is not used to improve vision or to reduce the need for glasses. It can, however, help save eye sight which might otherwise be lost. It is preventive rather than restorative. To schedule an eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

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

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

Healthy Hearing With Folic Acid In a world where the word “healthy” is tossed around like a salad, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by information about your well-being. To make things simpler for you, we’ve served up some easy-to-digest facts about diet and hearing health. Folate is naturally found in food, whereas folic acid is manmade from folate. This B vitamin is proven to help prevent high-frequency hearing loss, which is the varying inability to perceive high-pitched sounds and consonants. Folic acid decreases the amount of the amino acid homocysteine in your blood by increasing the creation of red blood cells. Too much homocysteine causes hearing difficulty by reducing blood flow to the inner ear. Folic acid is also useful in preventing heart disease, stroke, and dementia.

Older adults need 400 micrograms of

folic acid every day for good health. It is easy to increase your daily intake of the nutrient by eating more of foods like beans, citrus fruits, enriched grains, and dark leafy vegetables. To make it easier, in January 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began requiring manufacturers to add folic acid to food that is labeled as “enriched.” Increasing your intake can be as simple as rolling out of bed and grabbing a quick breakfast.

Just a cup of enriched breakfast cereal with one cup of 1 percent milk, plus three-quarters of a cup of OJ on the side, will put you at 32 percent of your daily requirement of folic acid in one meal.

Talk about starting your day off right!

Folic acid-rich foods like spinach, avocado, strawberries, broccoli, and cantaloupe are hearing helpful foods.

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!

AMI Foundation 10th Annual Tools For Schools Drive

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

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

The supply drive will run from July 23-August 20 at all of AMI’s locations in Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean and Monmouth counties.

There will be blue collection baskets in each reception area. You can find the office closest to you at atlanticmedicalimaging.com.

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

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

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

The AMI Foundation also purchases back packs in addition to the school supply donations. Following the supply drive, the supplies and book bags will be delivered to elementary schools throughout the area. To date, the AMI Foundation has donated 2,500 back packs to area school children in need.

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

St. John’s Wort, Serotonin And Depression

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. St. John’s wort is a beautiful plant with yellow flowers known to ease depression. It’s banned in some countries though.

For a long time, “hypericin,” a compound in the plant was thought to help with the blues, however scientists are noting that another compound in the plant called “hyperforin” plays an even bigger role.

St. John’s wort increases the activity of serotonin. But serotonin isn’t the be-all, end-all of happy brain chemicals. Some research suggests that depression is really tied to dopamine deficiency. If you’d like to understand more about that brain chemical, read my other article posted at my website. It’s called, Have You Stopped Enjoying Life? It Could be Low Dopamine.

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors are dubbed “SSRIs” and these medications increase serotonin activity in your brain. You know them as Prozac, Lexapro, Zoloft and others. Taking SSRI antidepressants along with St. John’s wort is dangerous and the combination should be avoided.

It’s fascinating that St. John’s wort has anti-inflammatory properties similar to a popular drug called Celebrex! This is fascinating. Research has demonstrated that inflammatory chemicals in the brain are high in depressed patients. In fact, some researchers even believe that brain inflammation is the primary cause of depression, with the neurotransmitter changes coming later. It’s possible that this anti-inflammatory action of St. John’s wort could help with depression in addition to its ability to increase serotonin activity. Which reminds me of a warning…

If you combine prescription antidepressants with St. John’s wort, it can be dangerous and may lead to “Serotonin Syndrome,” which is

a medical crisis. Serotonin has to be in balance with other brain chemicals, so the message here is “more is not always better.” Symptoms of the syndrome include increased heart rate and blood pressure, fever, diarrhea, and muscle rigidity. When severe, serotonin syndrome causes seizures, irregular heartbeat, faintness or unconsciousness, and even death.

There are allergies associated with any herb including this one. Finally, due to changes in your liver enzymes, be extremely careful with this herb (or preferably avoid it) if you take any of the following: • Oral Contraceptives • Warfarin • Digoxin • Theophylline • Indinavir • Cyclosporine Treatment for severe depression is not as easy as popping a single pill, or an herbal remedy.

St. John’s wort doesn’t even work well for severe cases.

If you’re feeling depressed, please make sure that you get professional help and make lifestyle or relationship changes if necessary. Depression can lead to fatal consequences and should be taken seriously by everyone in the family. It is fleeting for some of you, and life-long for others. Anhedonia and suicide are linked to severe depression. A friend of a friend committed suicide this past month, and I knew and liked him. I’m sad about this, and so I’m prompted to write this article today. Be sure to tell your loved ones and friends just how much you need them in your life. Treat everyone, even new acquaintances with kindness, you have no idea what they’re suffering with. One kind word, or special text can make all the difference to a person who is empty inside.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Peaceful Lunch

Dear Joel, My buddy and I decided to go to lunch at our favorite serve yourself buffet.

Kathy, a coworker invited herself along.

Once we got a plate she started right in, “We’ll sit at that table, the napkins are over there, you don’t need any salt, it’s not good for you.” All this before I even had my fi rst bite. Can you think of something snappy I could say to put her in her place?

Answer Her behavior is certainly unsavory.

I would remind her that you picked a buffet for lunch because you and your buddy like to make choices. Tell her lunch is your downtime; a peaceful hour in the day when you don’t have to do

any thing but pick what you want and enjoy it. You might be polite and thank her for her concern, but remind her that you are an adult.

Adults know that cookies for dinner are bad, but having them for dinner is a perk of being a grown-up. Tell her that being stressed out over lunch is just as bad as adding salt, then tell her you didn’t order “being bossed around” as a side dish.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

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

Robert C. Shea Esq.

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

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

The FAA has adopted the following UAS Safety Guidelines: •Fly at or below 400 feet •Be aware of airspace requirements and restrictions •Stay away from surrounding obstacles •Keep your UAS within sight •Never fly near other aircraft, especially near airports •Never fly over groups of people •Never fly over stadiums or sports events •Never fly near emergency response efforts such as fires •Never fly under the influence of drugs or alcohol Flying under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft The Special Rule for Model Aircraft (P.L. 112-95, Section 336) provides the definition and operating rules for flying a model aircraft.

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

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

UAS Registration.

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

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

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Vacation Fire Safety

LAKEWOOD – With the Summer vacation season upon us, the Lakewood Board of Fire Commissioners in conjunction with Fire Chief Mike D’Elia Jr., Fire Prevention Coordinator Jacob Woolf, and the members of the Lakewood Fire Department provide you with important Fire Safety information to keep you and your family safe.

If you are planning a vacation and your home will be empty, you can go away with less worry if you check your home prior to leaving. Make sure that all stoves and electrical appliances have been turned off or disconnected. Unplug all televisions and electronic devices since lightning storms or sudden electrical surges could cause a fire in this equipment while you are away. When you return from vacation, check your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms to make sure they are functioning properly.

If you are staying in a motel or hotel, it is important to know survival actions in case there is a fire. Select one that, at a minimum, has a fire detection system – smoke detectors as well as carbon monoxide alarms.

However, it is preferable to select lodging that also has a fire sprinkler system in place.

If you must stay in a facility without smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms or fire sprinklers, request a room on the first or second floor and bring your own battery-operated smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm with you.

When you first enter your room, read the fire safety information provided. It is usually posted near or on the back of the entry door. As is the case in your home, you need to plan your escape ahead of time. Locate two exits nearest your room. Make sure the fire exit doors work and are unlocked.

Locate the nearest fire alarm and read the operating instructions.

In a real fire, the hallway may become dark with smoke so count the number of doors from your room to each exit. By doing this, you will know where you are in case you are caught in a dark hallway.

Keep your room key and a flashlight near your bed and upon exiting your room, take these with you. Having your room key with you is imperative in the event you need to re-enter your room.

Should the fire alarm sound, follow the posted fi re safety emergency guidelines.

Do not ignore fire alarms. Prior to exiting your room, feel the door with the back of your hand. If the door is warm, do not open it. If the door feels cool, open it carefully and be ready to slam it shut if smoke or heat rushes in.

Should you need to remain in your room, notify the fire department and tell them your specific location including the floor level and room number. If able to exit, proceed to the nearest fire exit. If possible and without straying from you path of egress, pull the fire alarm as you exit. Remember to crawl low if met with smoke.

Should a fire start in your room, leave immediately and close doors behind you to confine the fire and prevent it from spreading. Once again, if possible and without straying from your path of egress, pull the fire alarm as you exit. If this is not possible,

notify the fire department once you exit the building and are safely out of danger. Never use an elevator in a fire, always take the stairs. Elevators can malfunction and many are heat-activated and have been known to travel to the fire floor and stay at that level.

If camping, it is imperative to use a tent that is flame retardant and remember, flame retardant does not mean fireproof. In addition, sleeping bags and clothing inside a tent can easily catch fire. A tent should be placed upwind from any campfi res or cooking fi res. Create a three-foot clearing around the tent and use only battery operated lights near or inside it. Always refuel any heat-producing appliance such as lanterns and stoves outside a tent and always store f lammable liquids outside the tent. Do not cook inside a tent. When preparing a campfire, a site should be selected that is away from grass, trees and tents. An area of 10 feet around the campfire should be cleared of ground litter, twigs, leaves, etc. The site should also be downwind from the sleeping area to prevent catching a tent or sleeping bag on fire from a spark or ember. Rocks should be placed directly around the campfire pit.

Before planning for a f ire, secure per mits f rom the proper authorities i f r e q u i r e d . I f we at he r c ond it ion s a re e spe cial ly d r y, che ck w it h t he proper authorities to determine if an open-burning ban has been placed into effect. If you really do not need a fi re for cooking, do not build one. A small spark is all it takes to ignite dry grass and leaves. Be sure to pay close attention to forest conditions and warnings from authorities.

Never use gasoline to light a fi re, it is extremely explosive. A fi re should be lit using kindling or a lighter stick. Keep a fi re extinguisher, pail of sand or water nearby in the event they are needed to control the fi re or extinguish it. Wear tight-fitting cotton clothing while working near the campfire. Always keep a careful eye on fires, never leave them unattended and make sure children do play near them. Teach ever yone the stop, drop and roll concept.

Before you go to sleep at night or if you leave the campsite for a while, be sure to extinguish the fire. Many forest fires are started each year from unattended campf ires or from those that were not completely extinguished.

Douse the f i re with water or sand, break up the coals, add more water or sand, stir it with a stick and cover the dead embers with dir t. Once again, make sure the fire is completely out before bedding down or leaving the campsite.

If you are using a gas or liquid fuel c a m p s t ove or l a nt e r n , fol low t he manufacturer’s directions. Make sure all connections are tight to avoid leaks.

Check for leaks with a soapy water solution. If the mixture bubbles, gas is seeping out and the appliance must not (Fire - See Page 21)

jerseyshoreonline.com

Fire: Continued From Page 20 be used until repaired by a professional.

Never use a lighted match to check for leaking gas. When using a camp stove or lantern, always fill it before each use.

Do not refuel a hot stove or lantern. Wait until it cools and use a funnel to fill the appliance, wiping up all spills before re-lighting.

When traveling with a camper or recreational vehicle, use only electrically operated or battery operated lights inside. Maintain all appliances in a safe working order and check them before use. Keep a fire extinguisher on board and install at least one smoke detector

The Brick Times, August 4, 2018, Page 21 and one carbon monoxide alarm. When the vehicle is traveling down the road, shut down gas to stoves and water heaters by closing fuel supply valves at the gas cylinders. Never operate combustion type heaters inside closed campers or recreational vehicles since this could result in asphyxiation from fumes as well as oxygen depletion. Do not cook while the vehicle is underway. Always fuel stoves or lanterns outside and avoid accumulating and storing combustibles.

Six Establishments Adopt Policies Against Drunk Driving, Other Issues LAKEWOOD – The DART Prevention Coalition of Ocean County has helped six Ocean County businesses implement its TIPS initiative to prevent intoxication, underage drinking and drunk driving through “responsible beverage serving.”

TIPS policies were implemented at The Clarion Hotel in Toms River, Tuckers Tavern and Plantation Restaurant in Long Beach Island, Breezes Bar and Grill in New Gretna, Oyster Creek Brewery in Waretown, and River Rock Restaurant and Marina Bar in 2018.

All staff are trained in recognizing signs of intoxication, preventing the sale of al-

cohol to minors, handling alcohol-related situations, and using proven strategies to prevent alcohol-related problems. DART provides the training.

“By implementing a TIPS policy, establishments help minimize the risks associated with alcohol service, protecting both patrons and staff,” Michele Buldo, Coordinator of the DART Prevention Coalition, said. “It’s important to have local establishments engaged in responsible beverage serving efforts right here in Ocean County.”

The land is currently pristine woods.

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

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

“It adjoins a 210-acre township-of-Jacksonowned Francis Mills Park. This will adjoin their park site,” Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. said. “It will keep this land from being developed.”

The site was nominated to the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee, which then made the recommendation for purchase to the freeholders. The county will go ahead with the purchase only if Jackson Township agrees to that acquisition.

The county will purchase the land for $450,000 plus up to $1,066.00 for property tax adjustments. The county gets two appraisals from two independent assessors to value the

–Photo by Jennifer Peacock properties, and never offers to pay more than that highest appraised value, Bartlett added.

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

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

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

–Photo by Jackie Abbott David Iserson with actress Kate McKinnon during the filming of “The Spy Who Dumped Me.”

By Jennifer Peacock FREEHOLD – How do you get from Springsteen’s hometown to the City of Angels? Freehold Township High School graduate David Iserson, television writer and author, knows. Film was always his goal. His new movie, “The Spy Who Dumped Me,” starring Mila Kunis, Kate McKinnon, Justin Theroux and Sam Heughan had its Los Angeles premiere July 25 and opens nationwide Aug. 3.

Kunis and McKinnon star as Audrey and Morgan, Los Angeles-based best f r iends who f ind themselves in the middle of an international conspiracy thanks to Audrey’s ex-boyfriend, who has a team of assassins following him.

It somehow falls on these two to save the world.

In between promotions and getting ready for the premiere, he answered a few questions f rom Jerse y Shore Online.

Jersey Shore Online: The 11-yearold David had head shots, one you described as “Child Don Henley on the Cover of End of the Innocence Album.”

What were your creative aspirations growing up in Freehold?

David Iserson: I acted in school plays and small community theater productions and I went to weekly drawing and painting classes for much of my childhood. Growing up, I wanted to one day have my own comic strip. Something like Bloom County or Calvin and Hobbes. This dream didn’t happen.

JSO: You graduated Freehold Township High School, then Northwestern University. Did you always have your sights set on Saturday Night Live? How did you land that writing gig (and when did you decide that you were more a writer than actor?)? What did you learn

about the craft, and about yourself, during that time on SNL? DI: I did not have my sights set on SNL. I moved to Los Angeles to write.

Film or television. I took a bunch of improv classes in Hollywood and did a little bit of stand-up, but I was never great at it. I ended up working as an assist ant (get ting lu nches, fetching coffee) on some short-lived TV shows and a coworker put me in touch with someone who I could submit jokes to for Weekend Update. I got some jokes on the air and it led to a job there. So, I moved to New York.

I didn’t work very long at SNL, but it was exciting. There was a great creative energy and that place is f illed with mind-blowing talent. I learned a ton about how to write a joke, how to write fast and that, sometimes, your best ideas fall f lat on their face - sometimes on national television.

JSO: You seemingly went from “Live, f r om New Yor k…” t o Ti n s elt ow n .

You’ve written for both critically acclaimed and viewer-beloved television shows such as “United States of Tara,” “Mad Men,” and “New Girl.” What was the transition like not only from New York to L.A., but sketch comedy to serial dramas and the 30-minute comedy?

DI: I lived in LA before I worked in New York so moving back wasn’t really a transition. I loved working on so many shows and very different shows. I love writing all sorts of characters and the challenge of doing different things with different tones. But mostly, I love telling different kinds of stories and what all of those shows have in common is that working there meant sitting in a room with a ton of smart, talented people writing stories together.

Writer: Continued From Page 23 JSO: You also wrote a young adult novel while writing on your television gigs, Firecracker, about a protagonist Astrid Krieger who lives in a rocket ship in her backyard and plots revenge against those allegedly conspiring to get her kicked out of prep school while she must suffer in public school. What did you decide about Astrid? Any more books on the horizon?

DI: Astrid Krieger is a character I’ve long loved and I was searching for the right way to tell a story about her. I had written a series of short stories about her life and when I got the opportunity to write a whole novel, I was very excited. I’m incredibly proud of that book.

But, writing books take forever and it’s hard to balance that and my other work. So, yes, more books in my future, but it’s moving slow.

JSO: You said in an L.A. Times interview, where you were talking about Firecracker, that you like writing female characters. You wrote the screenplay for “The Spy Who Dumped Me” with Susanna Fogel, who also directed the f ilm. How did you and Susanna come up with the story of Audrey and Morgan, and was it always going to be “Audrey and Morgan” (female leads)?

Did you write them with Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon in mind?

DI: Yes, I have spent a lot of my career writing strong female characters, as has Susanna, so writing about these great friends felt natural for both of us.

Very shortly after we came up with the idea for the movie, the characters were almost fully formed in our heads and writing them was a lot of fun.

The Brick Times, August 4, 2018, Page 27 No, we didn’t write them specifically for Mila and Kate but the characters expanded and adapted once we spent more time with Mila and Kate and we shaped them to those actors.

JSO: W hat project s do you have lined up?

DI: I’m working on a bunch of fun things… but they’re all secret.

JSO: Neither you nor your wife are from Los Angeles. (David is married to award-win ning taxider mist Allis Markham, originally from Madison, Indiana.) What fond memories do you hold of growing up in Freehold, and do you ever get back here to visit? What are your thoughts of the township, and the area in in general, now that you live elsewhere?

DI: Morgan, Kate’s character in The Spy Who Dumped Me, is actually from Freehold as we discover in one scene that I will not spoil. My parents, sister, brother-in-law, nephew and niece all live in Manalapan, so I try to visit them at least once a year. My great-grandfather moved to Freehold in the 1920s so my roots in central Jersey run deep. It’s very much a part of my identity, though I’ve unlearned my accent (“wuh-ter,” “cawfee.”)

When I visit I venture almost immediately to Chinese food at Szechuan Star on Route 9 and then, for my next meal, pizza at Federici’s.

When you live in LA and are from New Jersey, you get a lot of “Oh, you’re from New Jersey, do you know [some town I’ve never heard of ]?” and then you say, “No,” and then there’s not much to talk about after that.

Brick Police: Cars Are Too Hot For Dogs

BRICK – Many people don’t realize how quickly the interior of a car can heat up, even when a window is cracked or the car is parked in the shade.

On a 70-degree day, a car’s interior temperature can climb to 90 degrees. On an 85-degree day, it takes less than 10 minutes for a car’s interior to top 100 degrees; in 30 minutes, the temperature can jump to 120 degrees.

Dogs don’t perspire like humans, so being trapped in extreme heat can quickly cause difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rates, seizures, and severe harm to vital organs that may result in permanent injury or death. As time passes and temperatures rise, a trapped animal’s chances for survival decline exponentially.

Don’t leave your animals in the car this summer!

Partnership For A Drug-Free New Jersey Encourages Family Fun With Online Fishing Tournament MILLBURN — The Partnership for a Dr ug-Free New Jersey (PDFNJ) is asking families to cast their lines and reel in some quality time this summer as part of the fourth annual Don’t Get Hooked on Dr ugs Online NJ Family Fishing Tournament.

The competition will be held from July 27 to August 5 as a way to encou rage fam ilies to enjoy a d ay of fishing, while giving family members an opportunity to talk with each other more about their daily activities.

Children who communicate regularly with their parents about daily activities are 67 percent less likely to be involved in substance use than children who have little or no communication, according to PDFNJ research. Summer provides many opportunities for families to create lasting memories that help to st rengthen relationships bet ween children and parents and guardians.

“The Don’t Get Hooked on Drugs Online NJ Family Fishing Tournament is a great opportunity for families to bond

and have fun together,” PDFNJ Executive Director Angelo Valente said.

“Spending more time with family is the best way to prevent children from using alcohol and other substances and help them continue living drug-free.”

To participate in the contest, entrants must be 18 years old or younger, New Jersey residents, and be accompanied by a parent or guardian while f ishing. Participants then have to snap a photo of their family enjoying a fishing trip and post it with the hashtag

#drugfreenj on Facebook, Twitter or I nst ag ram. T he photo must include the youth participant and a parent or guardian.

Winners will be selected at random on Aug ust 7 a nd w ill receive cash prizes. Participants can follow PDFNJ on Facebook (@PartnershipForADrugFr e e Ne wJe r s e y), Tw i t t e r (@ d r u gfreeNJ) and Instagram (@drugfreenj) to see contest submissions.

Where’s My Headache Coming From?

By: Craig Michaels, PT, DPT, for All-Care Physical Therapy Center’s Manchester Location Although there are many culprits of headaches, did you know that one specific kind can be treated with Physical Therapy? There are many factors that can contribute to that nagging pain; such as stress and tension, allergies, posture, medication and even migraines. Although chronic headaches often tend to have more than one causative factor, this article will specifically look at the link between the musculoskeletal system and headaches. Many patients walk into All-Care Physical Therapy with complaints of occasional headaches, and the reason for this could be their posture.

excessive muscle tension in the neck, face, shoulders and upper back. Our muscles are made up of muscle fibers that are bundled closely together. When the muscle fibers contract together, a muscle is shortened. When we are under stress, we commonly tense and shorten the muscles of the shoulders, upper back, face, and neck which can lead to a tension headache. This can be further exacerbated by the buildup of chemicals that flood the area in response to irritation, causing what is known as a “trigger point.” These trigger points can refer pain along nerves of a nearby area, or into the head. These types of headaches tend to improve once the underlying problem is addressed.

HOW ARE HEADACHES CAUSED BY THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM?

WHY DOES OUR POSTURE CHANGE?

Research has found that irritated or inflamed nerves or muscles in the neck can refer pain over the scalp, and into the face and forehead, causing headaches. Common neck problems that can cause or contribute to these irritated nerves/muscles are trauma, whiplash, or normal wear and tear such as arthritis. Whiplash is often present in Motor Vehicle Accidents when the head and neck “whips” backward and forward quickly, commonly experienced in rear-ended collisions. The muscles and ligaments in the front and the back of the neck are strained. Secondly, trauma, such as a fall or sporting accident can result in ligaments or bones being affected. Lastly, and most commonly, normal wear and tear of the vertebrae in the neck due to the ageing process can lead to a progressive degeneration of the cervical spine (neck), which can in turn affect the muscles. This is often exacerbated by forward head posture, in which the head crosses too far forward from the midline. This often puts strain and tightens certain muscles of the neck, leading to what is known as a postural related headache.

There are several culprits that can lead to changes in our posture over time. We typically spend a majority of our day slouching forward, spending too much time sitting down, or even looking down at our phones or computers. Over time, this can alter our posture and put added strain on the neck. This can specifically lead to tightness of the suboccipital muscles, which sit at the base of your skull. When these muscles tighten, pain can be referred deep in the head from the occiput (skull) to the eyes.

The skeleton and muscles of the neck and upper back must work together to allow movement. If there is a disconnect between this movement, such as forward head posture, a problem can occur. This can contribute to headaches. For example, a tension headache is almost always caused by

At All-Care Physical Therapy, we have the knowledgeable staff and tools to reduce musculoskeletal headaches and improve your quality of life. We will develop treatment programs for your individual symptoms and help to prevent the repeat of those nagging headaches in the future.

HOW CAN WE HELP THE HEADACHES?

WHAT ARE POSTURAL RELATED HEADACHES?

stimulation, Ultrasound, or Phonphoresis (Ultrasound with hydrocortisone cream). Your therapist will determine the most appropriate modality for your symptoms. In addition, your therapist will “release” muscles in your neck that have become inflamed or in spasm over time. This can be performed through a treatment known as a suboccipital release, in which the muscles at the base of the skull are released to offer headache reduction. Another treatment is known as trigger point release, to soften and align spasms in muscles of the neck. Your therapist will also guide you in exercises to correct postural changes that have occurred over time. You can often notice a reduction of symptoms within 1 visit, however changes in posture and muscular control can take several weeks. Therefore, it is important to follow the specific exercises your therapist has created for you.

By the time headaches are being experienced by the patient, there are already significant postural changes that are causing inflammation and spasms in the neck musculature.

Your therapist will perform a detailed Initial Examination to ensure your headaches are coming from a musculoskeletal origin. This includes extensive postural analysis, range of motion and flexibility. In addition, the therapist will feel around the numerous neck muscles and locate spasms or inflammation. This will allow for your therapist to pinpoint the specific cause related to your headache. Once this is performed, it is important to calm down this inflammation and relax the muscles using a variety of modalities we offer at AllCare Physical Therapy. This includes moist heat, ice, electric-

Roadway Changes Expected In Northern Part Of County

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Freeholders went out to bid on a project that will rework an intersection on Hooper Avenue to install left turn lanes out of two popular shopping centers. It was one of several anticipated changes that officials said will make the county’s roadways safer.

Currently, anyone leaving the Target shopping center can’t make a left turn.

They have to go right and take the next jughandle (or make a quick and possibly illegal turnaround in front of Michael’s).

Similarly, anyone coming out of the shopping center where Michael’s is can’t turn left, either. They would have to go right and turn around when possible.

The changes will open up the intersection to both directions of egress, the freeholders said in a press release.

“This is a heavily traveled area of the Hooper Avenue corridor. We believe this modification will have a positive outcome with traffic safety and accessibility,” Freeholder John Kelly said. “We will be improving traffic signals along Hooper Avenue from Toms River into Brick Township. This project is part of the numerous recommendations made in the updated County transportation master plan that focuses on upgrades in

the four municipalities in the transportation plan.”

The plan looks at the growing population in the northern sections of the county, particularly in Toms River, Brick, Jack son a nd L a kewo o d t ow n sh ips.

In making this study, the consultant, St a nt e c Con su lt i ng Se r v ice s, Wal l Township, developed forecasts out to 2025 based on information such as socioeconomic data, zoning information, planned developments, approved developments, and certificates of occupancy.

“This plan takes a broader look at our northern roads,” said Freeholder Deputy Director John C. Bartlett Jr., “This is a tool that helps us plan into the future.

There are many other projects we will be looking to implement over time.”

Other recent projects include upgrading traffic signals on East County Line Road i n La kewood , and desig ns to improve Cross Street.

The traffic signal on Hooper was just the latest part of the plan. The county engineer was instructed to seek bids for its redesign at a recent Freeholder meeting.

Work is expected to begin this fall. A press release from last year anticipated that the project would have been done by the spring of 2018.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of Aug 4 - Aug 10

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It may be challenging to appear cooperative as this week unfolds. You might be tempted to express your rebelliousness by spending money impulsively.

Someone might see you as the answer to their fantasies.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There would be no butterflies if nothing ever changed.

Once you make your bed you must lie in it, but the truth is that once you have rested you will have to make the bed again. Learn to be flexible in the week ahead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You hope everyone thinks you are intelligent, but a scholar’s mortarboard or diploma isn’t a prerequisite. You won’t need to go too far out of your way to appear bright, sharp, and capable in the week to come.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It could be difficult to compromise your principles and ethics in the week ahead. You might not agree with everyone in your circle or community, but you will do the right thing when it is solely a personal choice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Use your gift for gab and originality of thought to convince others of the value of your ideas. Lighthearted teasing and sharing whimsical experiences can be acceptable in some of the most businesslike settings this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your home is a haven of happiness. Workplace emergencies are easily handled. Don’t let passing power struggles get under your skin this week. Escape to a soft couch and home cooked meal, surrounded by loved ones.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may be mesmerized by mysteries. In the upcoming week you may be attracted to someone or something because you are fascinated by intrigue. Dig up the facts to reveal every secret so that you are completely informed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have the power to design your own attitudes, beliefs and choices. Although the news may be negative, and the tone may be pessimistic you have the ability to be a positive force in the world in the week ahead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may dance to the rhythm of romance in the week to come. Every opportunity to bask in admiration will make your life a little brighter. New friends and contacts may help you realize your dreams.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can’t control what happens in your life, but you can always control what you do with what happens in your life. Honor the rules and remain aboveboard in the week ahead. Steer clear of anything of questionable integrity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep a toothbrush and toothpaste handy if you are going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Accept whatever comes your way with good grace, and scrutinize it, but don’t push your luck too far in the week ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pay it forward. Offering a little kindness won’t detract from your own forward progress and might even make you feel more confident about your own selfworth. Do something nice for someone this week.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Can’t Stand The (Outdoor) Heat?

Get Back In The Kitchen

By Wolfgang Puck Just about everybody is familiar with some variation on that old expression, “If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.”

It has been attributed to plain-speaking President Harry Truman, who used it to explain his attitude about the need to handle the pressure of important government work.

Nowadays, I often hear people using the saying more literally. They’ll tell me that they love to cook outdoors at this time of year because their kitchens get too hot to prepare a meal comfortably indoors.

Honestly, I don’t always think that’s true.

First of all, anyone who has spent any time at all attending to a well-heated grill will confi rm that cooking that way can feel like uncomfortably hot work. Add the fact that most kitchens nowadays are usually well ventilated to whisk heat away and, more often than not, air-conditioned, and you have a fairly convincing argument for staying indoors at times when the weather outside is just too hot for grilling - as I suspect it is right now in many parts of the country.

Still, I don’t mean to suggest that anybody should spend more time than they need to in the kitchen during summer.

That is why I would like you to consider steaming your dinner for a change.

As you read this, you might find that your eyebrows have risen at the mention of steaming.

That’s a perfectly natural response, because most people associate the word “steam” with hot and humid weather. In fact, however, steaming doesn’t really heat up your home kitchen all that much.

To prepare a main dish like my steamed fish fillets with lemon pepper and mixed vegetables, all you have to do is bring water to a boil in a single saute pan, and then steam the ingredients for little more than 10 minutes.

(You might also want to steam some rice in another saucepan to go with your meal; or choose the even less heat-producing option of using an automatic electric rice cooker on your countertop.)

Cooking a meal this way isn’t likely to work up much of a sweat at all. And, contrary to the belief that steamed food is bland, the results are surprisingly delicious, scented by fresh herbs, peppercorns, salt, lemon zest and pepper. I also add another delicious note by drizzling each cooked fillet with a little olive oil at serving time, which releases a wonderful aroma on contact with the steaming-hot fish.

Try this once and I know you’ll be tempted to make it again, experimenting with your own favorite combinations of seafood, vegetables, and seasonings!

STEAMED FISH FILLETS W/ LEMON PEPPER AND MIXED VEGETABLES Serves 4 8 fresh chervil or parsley sprigs 2 lemons, cut crosswise into thin slices, seeds removed 1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns Kosher salt 4 skinless fillets fresh firm white fish, such as halibut or cod, each 4 to 6 ounces (125 to 285 g) 4 medium-sized carrots, peeled, trimmed, and cut into long matchsticks about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick 2 cups (500 mL) bite-sized broccoli florets 8 medium-sized mushrooms, wiped clean with a damp paper towel, stems trimmed Freshly ground black pepper 4 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest Extra-virgin olive oil, for serving Fresh lemon wedges, for serving Select a large, wide saute pan with straight sides, plus a steaming basket large enough to sit securely on top of it, clear of the water.

Add 2 to 3 inches of cold water to the pan, and add to the water 4 of the chervil or parsley sprigs, a couple of lemon slices, the whole black peppercorns, and a generous pinch of kosher salt. Without yet placing the steamer basket on top of the pan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Meanwhile, arrange the remaining lemon slices in the middle of the steamer basket, forming a surface large enough to hold the fish fillets in a single layer. Place the fish on top of the lemon slices. Arrange the carrots, broccoli and mushrooms evenly around the perimeter of the basket alongside the fish. Sprinkle the fillets evenly with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper, and then sprinkle them evenly with the lemon zest.

As soon as the water is boiling, reduce the heat to maintain an even simmer, carefully place the steamer on top of the pan, and cover the steamer with its lid. Steam the fish until the fillets look opaque, the tip of a thin knife can be inserted evenly into one, and the fillet can be separated into firm but moist flakes, about 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets. (When lifting off the steamer lid to check, be especially careful to lift the lid away from you, keeping your hands, arms and face clear of the hot steam as it escapes.)

To serve, turn off the heat and carefully remove the basket from the pan, then carefully lift off the lid. With a spatula, gently lift each fillet and transfer it to a heated serving plate. With a large serving spoon or tongs, distribute the vegetables evenly among the plates. Lightly drizzle a little olive oil over each fillet. Garnish each plate with lemon wedges and the remaining parsley or chervil sprigs, and serve immediately.
