You get off in Good Luck, and settle into a little bungalow. Every day, you watch the waves as the kids go up and down the slide, into the water.
Water Filtration Project Begins
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Construction is underway to build three iron removal treatment facilities in Bayville. The $12 million project, funded by Aqua New Jersey, will treat 1.4 million gallons of water a day, from a new well as well as three existing wells, according to a press release from the company. Residents had been complaining about the water quality at recent Township Council meetings. They said that the water is discolored, smells bad, and stains toilets if left too long. One resident had his water tested, and it was found to have high levels of iron and aluminum. It also had radionuclides, a naturally occurring radioactive substance. Aqua had responded, stating that the radionuclides were within state and federal standards. The iron and aluminum, at those levels, would be more of an aesthetic concern, rather than a health concern. Aqua representatives had stated that the water undergoes “rigorous” treatments, including volatile organic compound removal, iron sequestration, pH control, and chlorine addition. It was explained

flock there in the summer. Louis Purcaro, president of the borough’s Historical Society, said that there are about 2,400 year-round residents, and this doubles in the summer. According to Pauline Miller’s book “Ocean County: Four Centuries In The Making,” the area was formerly known as Good Luck. The story goes like this: In 1778, Loyalist Robert McMullen was being chased by militiamen in Island Heights. He forced his horse into the Toms River, and it swam (100 Years - See Page 4)

100 Years:
Continued From Page 1 across. When he got to the south shore, he shouted back “Good Luck!” These days, there are still some areas nearby associated with the name Good Luck Point. The borough started out as a farm in the 1800s. In 1909, it was purchased by the Great Eastern Building Corporation. They were the ones who named it Ocean Gate. It was a catchy name, symbolizing a way to get to the Atlantic. Hence, a gateway to the ocean. People took the Pennsylvania-Long Branch railroad across a trestle bridge to Seaside Park. It was a busy resort town, quickly populating with summer cottages, a yacht club, and various stores and places to stay. The Pennsylvania Railroad and Route 9 brought them here, the river and amenities encouraged them to stay. Eventually, more and more people stayed year round. During all this time, Ocean Gate was still part of Berkeley Township. (Berkeley had split off from Toms River [Dover Township] in 1875.) NEED AN EMERGENCY HOME REPAIR? WE’RE HERE TO HELP AT NO CHARGE
As was the case in those days, it was easier to split off into a new town. A vote was held on March 26, 1918. The vote was just 26-4 to secede. Yes, 26 people decided the outcome of that election. Berkeley lost a lot of real estate in those days. Seaside Park had left in 1898. Seaside Heights left in 1913. Beachwood left in 1917. Pine Beach would leave in 1925. Island Beach would become its own town in 1933, but then returned in 1965. Good luck, Ocean Gate, on your next 100 years. Celebrating Ocean Gate’s 100th Anniversary Many events have already been held this year to commemorate the borough’s fi rst 100 years. Many more are on the way. Most of these are on Aug. 11, with the rain date being Aug. 18.

New School Funding Law Should Never Have Been Signed 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 (all R-9 th) lambasted the signing of S-2/A-2, a school funding bill that will mandate funding cuts for 14 school districts in the 9th Legislative District. “Governor Murphy’s misdirected decision to sign
this bill means funding cuts for more than half of the school districts in our legislative district. “For ver y compelling reasons, we voted against the school funding bill that should not have passed the Legislature and wrote the Governor directly calling on him to veto it. In our let ter to the Gover nor, we cited the fact that a
number of our constituent school districts that will lose f unding were still recovering from the catastrophic damage caused by Superstorm Sandy. “Spending increases under the new state budget by $2.7 billion, including more than $350 million school f unding. A nd yet local schools are having their funding cut while Trenton managed to fi nd $2.1 million in the budget to pay the legal costs of illegal aliens facing deportation. This is completely outrageous and indefensible. “Rather than reform the state’s fundamentally broken school funding formula
enacted under the Corzine Administration, the situation will only get worse for taxpayers, students, parents, teachers, and all education professionals living and working in communities that will see their school funding cut. “At no point did we ever buy into the empty rhetoric that the school funding bill is about fairness. Not unlike past school funding policies, the law signed by the Governor is politically calculated with clear-cut winners and losers. Yes, in Trenton politics are at play even when it concerns how we educate our children. “Reversing this policy
will not be easy, given the political dimensions involved. Targeted school districts will be lectured by Trenton to do more with less, while Abbott districts continue to receive a windfall of state funding with far less expectation of accountability. Controlling proper t y t a xes w ill be far more difficult. School boards will have even less resources to work with causing a ripple effect on programs and services as well as collective bargaining negotiations. “School district officials, educators, pa rents a nd taxpayers on the losing side of the school funding
cuts should not hesitate to send a clear message to Trenton about the real-life consequences of this harsh policy. Like our constituents we, too, are tired of Trenton’s neglect and indifference shown to our area of the state.” School districts in the 9th Legislative District which will see state school funding cuts are as follows: Bass River, Beach Haven, Lacey, Lenape Regional, Little Egg Harbor, Ocean (Waretown), Pinelands, Port Republic, Stafford, Seaside Park, Taber nacle, Toms River Regional, Tuckerton, and Washington Township.

WASH I NGTON D.C. – New Jersey members of Congress, led by U.S. Congressman Frank LoBiondo (R-2nd) along with U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Bob Menendez, introduced legislation to reauthorize the New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail which has attracted millions of tourists and residents to the area since its inception in 1988. “The New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail incorporates some of the state’s most popular destinations, providing additional support to local businesses and communities that rely on tour-

Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019: “We must never forget the sacrifices made by our servicemembers and their families. Today is an important day for them as Congress overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan bill that provides assistance, funding, and support for their missions and beyond. The
NDAA restores our military’s strength, increases funding for training and readiness preparation, and gives our servicemembers the largest pay raise in nine years. This bipartisan effort provides our military with the resources needed to successfully combat today’s threats and challenges. “The NDAA also supports

ism dollars. This Trail has also helped our residents develop greater pride and awareness of our shared history,” said Representative LoBiondo. “By extending the federal authorization for the New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail, we allow additional public and private support to be identified and pursued.” “The New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail showcases all the beautiful natural and historic landmarks that the Garden State has to offer along the coastline,” said Sen. Menendez. “Tourists from across the nation and
around the world visit the Jersey shore, which boosts businesses and stimulates the local economy. Reauthorizing the Trail would allow us to use federal dollars to better manage and preserve the area’s rich heritage, including its landmarks and wildlife.” “New Jersey’s coastline is one of our state’s greatest environmental and economic treasures. This bill will help ensure that both New Jerseyans and out of state visitors have the opportunity to experience our rich coastal heritage firsthand,” said Sen. Booker.
Stretching some 300 miles from Perth Amboy in the north to Cape May in the South and across to Carneys Point in the west, the Coastal Heritage Trail connects numerous places of historic, environmental, maritime and recreational interests. These areas include three National Wildlife Refuges, four tributaries of the Maurice River which has been designated a Wild and Scenic River, several lighthouses, a Civil War fort and national cemetery as well as numerous historic sights related to the rich heritage of New Jersey. Eco-tourism in
the area has been especially significant due to the Trail’s attractiveness to a wide range of wildlife. Whale and dolphin watching is extremely popular along the shore and bird watchers from around the world are drawn to the area to see migratory species such as plovers, ospreys and bald eagles. Established in 1988, the previous authorization for the New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail was led by LoBiondo and the late New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg and expired in September, 2011. Today’s bill would reauthorize the Trail

until 2025 and make it eligible for federal funding. It would also create a strategic plan to explore opportunities to increase participation by national, local, private and public interests, as well as organizational options for sustaining the Trail. The legislation is cosponsored by fellow New Jersey Representatives Donald Norcross (01), Chris Smith (04), Josh Gottheimer (05), Frank Pallone (06), Leonard Lance (07), Albio Sires (08), Bill Pascrell Jr (09), Donald Payne Jr (10), Rodney Frelinghuysen (11) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (12).

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY 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.” Evelyn Varhegyi Toms River

Letters To The Editor 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. The Lacey Education Foundation will have a table set up at National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 7 at Gille Park. Please come visit us and sign up to volunteer with the foundation! Your help will make our school district rock! Regina Discenza Founding Trustee Lacey Education Foundation
Letters To The Editor 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. Capt. R.M. Silva Toms River
Is Taxation A Form Of Legal Thievery? Because New Jersey has the highest property tax in
the nation, I am requesting 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. Walter Kretiv Toms River

Community Garden Fundraiser
By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – A fundraiser for the Wrangle Brook Community Garden will be held on Aug. 4. The garden is located in a little, overlooked area off Southhampton Road. This is a small road that links Silver Ridge Park to the neighborhood south of Lakehurst Drive in Toms River. A branch of the brook runs along the garden. The garden will host a party starting at 1 p.m. It’s free to attend, but donations and the purchase of raffle tickets are how they are going to raise funds for the garden, said Bonney
Parker, coordinator for the garden. There will be music, tours of the garden, and giveaways. This is the third year the garden has been in operation. It is split between individuals’ personal gardens and areas that are there to grow for donations. Wrangle Brook donates 3,000 pounds of fresh produce a year, primarily to the People’s Pantry. Recently, the garden had been broken into and several dozen plants were stolen. Police have not made any arrests yet. The theft didn’t slow them down long. They recently donated another 130 pounds of fresh produce to the People’s Pantry.

Frederick Drive Light Up, But Not On Yet By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – The traffic light and pedestrian crossing was installed at the intersection of Route 9 and Frederick Drive, but has not yet been finished. A New Jersey Department of Transportation spokesman said that they are waiting for the electricity to be connected by Jersey Central
Power and Light. Once that’s completed, then the light will be tested for a few days before becoming fully operational. That intersection has seen three fatalities – and multiple other crashes – since 1999. As a state road, the township had to petition the DOT to make changes, which they eventually did.

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 alcohol 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.” To learn more, write to Michele Buldo at michele.buldo@rwjbh.org.

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!

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. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

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.

–Photos by Jennifer Peacock The county, whose board of social services occupies six buildings now, will purchase four buildings to demolish and build one structure that will house all its social services offices. By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The county plans to build a “replacement building” on the same spot that its current social services offices sit at 1027 Hooper Ave. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders approved in the beginning of July a $7 million appropriation for the land acquisition, design, engineering and permitting of that property in Toms River. The county currently leases six buildings on that 14-acre lot from Grunin Properties, paying $4.25 million annually for rent and other charges, like utilities. The county has leased those buildings for more than 30 years, County Business Administrator Carl Block told The Toms River Times.
The buildings have aged beyond their usefulness, and the county desires to not only upgrade its facilities, but have everything in one building rather than six. The current lease expires June 20, 2022. The county plans to purchase 10 acres and four buildings. The new building will be constructed where the current parking lot is. The plan is to seamlessly move offices from their old locations into the new building as it’s completed, so no services are interrupted during the construction and demolition. Block said there are approximately 400 employees on that campus. An estimate of the new building’s cost won’t be available until an architect is approved and hired to design the new building.

Drone Rules: What Are The Rules When Flying Drones For Fun?
• Community Information • Restaurant Listings • Local Businesses AND MUCH MORE...
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 ad-
ministered by a commu- Michael J. Deem nity-based 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.

Bringing Suicide Out Of The Darkness
By Bob Vosseller PLUMSTED – Making a difference, providing awareness and raising money were the goals of a unique fundraiser held at the Laurita Winery recently. The fundraiser was hosted by Jennifer Hansen, founder of Mettamade Yoga Events as a benefit for the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention. Hansen’s Out of the Darkness Suicide Prevention yoga event was planned prior to the shocking suicide deaths of designer Kate Spade and TV chef Anthony Bourdain. Their deaths once again brought to the forefront the topic of mental illness. Around 50 people took part in the $30 a ticket event and all proceeds went to the AFSP. Hansen said “this is my first fundraising event for this specific cause, but I also host charity events for dog adoption agencies through the organization Doggy Noses and Yoga Poses. I hosted this event because a client of mine reached out to me with her story and how she wanted to raise money and awareness.” Hansen’s client, Arielle Disick of Millstone Township, had a personal reason for attending the benefit. “I lost a friend to suicide. I think about him every day. I think about the time we spent together and the happy memories we shared. What was he going through in those times? What didn’t I see? How could I have helped? “There are so many times I wish he was here to give advice, to celebrate with, or to console me. Am I doing him justice by sharing his story like this? Would he want it told at all? I don’t know the answer. And that’s okay - because if the money we raise means one more friend will
not have to say goodbye, one less sister will not have to go on without her older brother looking out for her, one less parent will not have to plan a funeral for their child, then we will have made a difference.” She added that she did not want to see her late friend’s legacy be linked with suicide. “He was so much more. I think of how much pain he must have been grappling with. It was not his choice. You don’t wear mental illness as you do physical diseases. He was so selfless. He had all that pain going on and was always willing to help others. “That is why having this fundraiser was important but it wasn’t just about raising money but bringing about awareness. I’d rather have 100 people donate a dollar than one person donate $100.” Disick said after the event that “the event raised $1,040. Jen and I first started talking and planning about this event in January and I am very happy with the result.” She added that mixing the message of suicide prevention awareness and yoga was a natural according to the philosophy of Mettamade. “Jennifer has been an absolute angel with this event. Advocacy for mental health is so important.” “We need to have the difficult conversations, we need to raise awareness, and we need to end the stigma around mental health issues,” Disick said. While Disick’s story inspired the local event, it was only her first effort to help AFSP. She will be training this summer for the Chicago Marathon and run its 26.2 miles course for the organization. To help Disick reach her fundraising goal,
which are 100 percent tax deductible and will be fully matched, you can donate online. “The more awareness we raise, the stronger our impact,” Disick said. The link to her donation page is afsp.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=1515378. AFSP New Jersey Director Elizabeth Roithmayr-Clemens recently attended AFSP’s annual Advocacy Forum in Washington D.C. Suicide Prevention Programs and Initiatives. “I traveled to Washington, D.C. along with more than 225 AFSP advocates from all 50 states to educate Congress on priority areas to help improve mental health and prevent suicide,” Clemens said. “We provided information to all 535 Congressional offices urging them to support legislation in five key areas that would play a vital role in preventing suicide and improving mental health across the country,” Clemens said. The five key areas include increased funding for suicide prevention research, insurance coverage for mental health and substance use conditions, military and veteran suicide prevention, preservation of funding for suicide prevention programs and increased funding for the National Suicide Prevention (800-273-8255 [TALK]) and Crisis Centers. Suicide Prevention Programs and Initiatives • In 2004, the New Jersey legislature established the Youth Suicide Prevention Advisory Council (“Council”) to advise and make recommendations to the Department of Children and Families (DCF) for youth suicide reporting, prevention and intervention. DCF is the lead
agency for youth suicide prevention in the state and provides staff support to the Council. • New Jersey Law charges DCF with developing and adopting a statewide youth suicide prevention plan, in consultation with the Council and the Department of Human Services; see the New Jersey Strategy for Youth Suicide Prevention (2015), bit.ly/2FGp64R. • Funded by DCF, the Traumatic Loss Coalitions for Youth Program at Rutgers-University Behavioral HealthCare offers support to professionals working with school-age youth and provides suicide prevention and trauma response assistance to schools after a loss. • The NJ Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services’ Suicide Prevention Committee developed the state’s Adult Suicide Prevention Plan 2014-2017, bit.ly/2DwSJj7. The Suicide Prevention Committee has overall responsibility for implementing, monitoring, and evaluating the plan. • New Jersey law requires that public school teaching staff members complete at least 2 hours of suicide prevention instruction per professional development period; instruction must be provided by a licensed health care professional with training/experience in mental health issues. The law also requires educators to report when they believe that a student has attempted or completed suicide; requires that suicide prevention be included within elementary, middle, and high school curriculum); and that institutions of higher education have health care professionals available 24 hours a day who focus on reducing student suicides and attempted suicide.

What Drivers, Bicyclists, And Pedestrians Need To Know For Safety
By Kimberly Bosco BEACH HAVEN – With the summer season come lots of crowds, activities, and events outdoors. While the sun is out, people might take to walking along the boulevard or heading to popular tourist destinations, such as Fantasy Island, with family and friends. While we may be nearing the end of the summer season, local township officials and police departments continue to urge pedestrian safety and safe driving practices at all times, especially in heavy traffic areas. On July 25, members of the Beach Haven Borough Council, Beach Haven Police Department, and the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) held a press conference to kick start the Street Smart NJ pedestrian safety campaign in Beach Haven and other shore towns. The campaign is “aimed at saving lives, preventing injuries, and helping the state of New Jersey reach its goal of eliminating pedestrian fatalities, because after all, zero deaths is really the only acceptable number there is,” said David Behrend, Director of Communications & Government Affairs for the NJTPA. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that the pedestrian fatality rate in NJ is nearly double the national average, with 824 pedestrians killed statewide between 2013 and 2017. In this time, pedestrian deaths made up nearly 29 percent of all crash-related deaths. These statistics ranked New Jersey 16th in the nation for pedestrian fatalities in 2016. Zenobia Fields, Director of Planning for the NJTPA, stated that these statistics can be narrowed down to show one death every two days in New Jersey. The campaign boasts not only hopes to keep pedestrians safe, but also change those behaviors in motorists that can cause pedestrian fatalities, like distracted driving. Another major slogan for the Street Smart NJ campaign is “heads up, phones down,” something local police departments have been preaching for years. Members from the Surf City, Harvey Cedars, Long Beach, and Beach Haven Police Departments were present at the press conference to show their support of the campaign, which they all take part in. Council President S. James White noted that in the summer months, “we go from 1,000 people to maybe some 20,000 people, just in Beach Haven.” With the influx of people, police have a big task of patrolling the tourist areas where pedestrian numbers spike during the summer months. White explained that, while the council tries to remain tourist-minded for the benefit of the Beach Haven area, they know it is impossible to make the streets inaccessible just to protect pedestrians. The Street Smart NJ signage tells pedestrians to “Check Your Vitals”: • Cross at corners, intersections, and
marked crosswalks • Look both directions before crossing • Use pedestrian buttons and only cross when “Walk” signal shows • Use sidewalks or walk facing traffic where there are no sidewalks • Be wary of motorists making a right on red • Be visible at night • Walk sober • Eliminate distractions. According to White, Street Smart’s signage will be posted on local buildings to keep pedestrians and motorists aware of their surroundings. Beach Haven Police Chief James Markoski also demonstrated that street safety is always significant, sharing the tragic tale of a local Beach Haven resident who was hit by a distracted driver, while crossing in an unmarked area in 1995. “I can’t help but think if she was in a pedestrian crosswalk and if the driver hadn’t been distracted, that one of our local families would not have had suffered this tragic loss,” said Markoski. Capt. Tom Medel provided these tips for drivers: • Drivers should always stop for pedestrians • Look for pedestrians before turning • Obey the speed limit • Do not block or park in crosswalks • Eliminate distractions (no talking, texting) Sgt. Lisa Schmied advised bicyclists: • Bicyclists must obey all traffic signs and signals • Look for pedestrians before turning • Ride with vehicle traffic or use bicycle lanes where assigned • No riding on the sidewalks • Wear a helmet • Eliminate distractions Officers plan to reward positive behaviors, such as using crosswalks and wearing a helmet, as part of the program. Beach Haven officers will distribute coupons for free 7-11 Slurpees to pedestrians and bicyclists who are seen obeying traffic laws. Fields stated that the implementation of this program in other areas of the state has already yielded great results. “We’re looking for transportation investment, and what better transportation improvement then one that saves lives,” said Fields. “We’re actually seeing a difference.” NJTPA reports that the program has seen a 40 percent reduction in drivers failing to stop for pedestrians and a 28 percent reduction in pedestrians crossing in marked areas as opposed to mid-block. The Street Smart NJ program has made its way to over 70 communities like Long Beach Island, including Avon-by-theSea, Bay Head, Belmar, Long Branch, Manasquan, Point Pleasant Beach, and Toms River, among many others.

Marijuana Not Decriminalized, But Cases Put On Hold
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY –The New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal has asked municipal prosecutors to hold off prosecuting marijuana-related criminal cases until at least Sept. 4. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, which does act in a supervisory role to municipal courts, said the local courts will honor the attorney general’s request. Spokesman Al Della Fave told Jersey Shore Online that the prosecutor’s office didn’t have any further comments on the directive at this time. “Not much to say other than the [Attorney General] has asked that the municipal court matters related to marijuana be put on hold to Sept. 4…OCPO will honor his request,” Della Fave said in a July 24 email. Grewal’s action came in response to Jersey City’s move last week to decriminalize some marijuana charges, have prosecutors seek dismissal in low-level marijuana charges, and move some defendants - those with criminal records and signs of addiction - to the city’s community court. The attorney general’s July 24 letter to municipal and county prosecutors said that they do not have the authority to make those decisions on how to prosecute marijuana cases, but that he would form a working group to study and clarify how prosecutors can and should proceed. He asked that they adjourn all marijuana-related offenses until Sept. 4, which will give his office time to formulate guidelines. His director of communications, Sharon Lauchaire, issued a strong clarification that same day. “…the Attorney General did not commit to
the final outcome of the working group or the content of the forthcoming directive. The Attorney General also reiterated that municipal prosecutors do not have the authority to unilaterally decriminalize marijuana-related offenses,” Lauchaire wrote. Toms River attorney Michael B. Cooke told Jersey Shore Online the attorney general was put “in a tough position” by what Jersey City did. Cooke agrees with Grewal that it’s not within the power of the municipal prosecutors to do what they did in Jersey City. Municipal courts aren’t allowed to have widely varying outcomes for the same kind of case. It can’t be legal in Jersey City but then you in trouble for it in Hoboken, Cooke said. Grewal’s directive applies only to municipal court cases - disorderly person offenses - for personal use amounts of marijuana, and likely paraphernalia associated with that. People will still be arrested, charged and tried for DUIs, as well as those who possess amounts larger than for personal use. “It is interesting because it seems like the [State] legislature is moving in the direction of some form of either decriminalization or legalization,” Cooke said. “There are individual arguments that I think could be successful in getting a dismissal. But I don’t think anything Earth-shattering has changed in the last 48 hours,” Cooke said. The county and a growing number of municipalities have it made it clear where they stand on the issue. Even if the day arrives that recreational marijuana is legalized, numerous municipalities around the county have banned the sale of it.

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

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.

Craig graduated at the top of his class, and received the Program Excellence Award for clinical experience, academic excellence and professionalism. He completed a series of rigorous clinical affiliations that prepared him for a wide variety of patients. These vary from orthopedic conditions, where he studied at All-Care in Toms River, to spinal cord injuries at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in West Orange. These experiences led to his interest in a population ranging from Orthopedic to Neurologic rehabilitation, as well as a focus on gait disorders. Craig believes that flexibility is the key to mobility, and in a whole body approach to wellness. His focus is on a one on one approach and to remain very hands on with every patient.

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.
