Writer Brings A Taste Of Jersey To Hollywood For “The Spy Who Dumped Me”

Increased Radium Levels Found In Manchester Well

Pages 11-15.

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Township officials are assuring area residents that their drinking water is safe, even after a round of regular state testing found elevated levels of a naturally occurring radioactive metal in one well.

The township’s eastern side had wells 8, where the elevated levels of radium was found, and 7, near Well 8, shut down after the most recent round of state testing. Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal found in trace amounts in rocks, soil and groundwater.

Residents will be getting a letter notifying them of this in the mail.

“Manchester Township residents can rest assured that an issue regarding an elevated presence of radium, a naturally-occurring element in our geographical area, in one of our wells has been immediately resolved without concern to public health. All water in Manchester Township is and has been safe to drink,” Manchester Mayor Kenneth Palmer said in a statement.

Well 8 has tested within state limits for the last decade. However, the state testing July 10 found that Well 8’s rolling annual average exceeded what the state allows. The township immediately closed Well 8, and decided that because Well

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 from Jersey Shore Online.

Jersey Shore Online: The 11-year-old 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 standup, but I was never great at it. I ended up working as an assistant (getting lunches, fetching coffee) on some short-lived TV The General’s

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 film. 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.

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: What projects 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.

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 filled 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 flat on their face - sometimes on national television.

JSO: You seemingly went from “Live, from New York…” to Tinseltown. 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.

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

The township has one year to remedy the situation, but did decide to close the wells as a precaution.

“Please rest assured, our drinking water is safe and has been safe. Certainly, if there was an immediate concern, the State would not allow the Township to continue to use the well for one year while we fix the issue,” Palmer said. “Based on scientific studies, one person out of 10,000 would suffer health risks if they consumed two liters of water

The township also has an elevated, 1 million gallon water tower.

Township officials also wanted residents to know that their water needs will be met.

The township has an emergency connection with Suez Water’s system if needed.

“Fortunately, over the past few years, we have made steady improvements to our aging water infrastructure. The fi rst major step was refurbishing the elevated water storage tank last fall and creating the inter-connection with Suez,” Palmer said.

“We have also been refurbishing wells and pumps throughout the town.”

The next step, the mayor said, is to construct a second elevated water storage tank and interconnection with Lakehurst. Details on those projects should be released late summer.

Palmer said anyone with concerns should visit the United States Geological Society’s frequently asked questions about radium at water.usgs.gov/nawqa/trace/radium/ Ra_FAQ.html or the State of Massachusetts website at mass.gov/service-details/health-effects-of-radium-radiationexposure.

School Aid Shouldn’t Be Cut While Recovering From Sandy CAPITOL COMMENTS 10th Legislative District Senator Jim Holzapfel • Assemblyman Greg McGuckin • Assemblyman Dave Wolfe

TRENTON – Senator Jim Holzapfel, Assemblyman Dave Wolfe, and Assemblyman Greg McGuckin (all R-10 th) will introduce legislation to protect Sandy-impacted towns like Brick and Toms River from massive State school aid

cuts planned by Trenton.

“Brick and Toms River took a big hit from Sandy, with homes destroyed, families displaced, and our tax base severely impacted,” said Holzapfel. “Now, while the rebuilding is still underway, Democrats in Trenton

are trying to knock us back down again by slashing our school aid. Their proposed school funding cuts are absolutely despicable and need to be stopped.”

Legislative Democrats advanced a bill in Trenton that would redistribute more than $41 million in State school aid from Brick and Toms River to other school districts throughout New Jersey.

In response, Holzapfel, Wolfe, and McGuckin will introduce legislation to prevent reductions in State

aid from 2017-2018 school year levels to districts that experienced an erosion of their tax base following Superstorm Sandy.

“Many of ou r Ocean County communities have struggled through a yearslong rebuilding process that has been difficult on our families, schools, businesses, and property taxpayers,” said Wolfe. “With so much devastation, a lot of unusable or uninhabitable property was reduced in value greatly, shifting a greater tax burden to few-

er residents. For Trenton Democrats to come along at this difficult time and slash our State school aid is absolutely devastating.

We’re going to fight their new formula, but we’re also going to push our new bill just in case.”

Under the new legislation proposed by Holzapfel, Wolfe, and McGuck i n, any such reductions in aid would be prohibited until the equalized valuation of a district in a county impacted by Superstorm Sandy returns to pre-Sandy levels.

“We’re not asking for special treatment for Brick and Toms River, we’re just asking to not be kicked while we’re down by Trenton Democrats,” said McGuckin. “We took the brunt of the worst natural disaster in New Jersey’s history. Our homeowners, who have already been through so much, can’t afford to see their proper ty tax bills skyrocket. Our legislation will offer our property taxpayer the protections they need until our rebuilding is complete.”

Increase In Military Pay, Equipment Was Needed From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASH I NGTON D.C. – The House passed the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act which provides Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst personnel with the largest pay raise in nine years and also authorizes $10.2 million in projects specifically for JB-MDL. Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), who voted for the bill, said “It is critical that this legislation authorizes a pay raise

and new equipment for the men and women serving in our nation’s armed forces.

For too long their needs have been ignored, and now is the time to ensure they have all the resources and equipment they require to get the job done.”

The FY 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) has a topline of $717 billion, and not only includes an across-theboard 2.6 percent pay raise

for all military personnel, building upon the 2.4 percent raise from FY 2018, but it also leaves out Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), the federal process to realign and/or close military bases.

The $10.2 million authorized for Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst will be used to replace the Hot Cargo Hydrant System, for aircraft that require hazardous cargo parking.

The project is needed in preparation for the highly-anticipated arrival of the KC-46A refueling tankers, which are expected to begin arriving in FY 2021.

“These authorizations will provide an essential boost to the employees at

JB-MDL, continuing to upgrade the base and making it the premier refueling hub on the East Coast,” Smith said. “I am also glad we were able to keep a new round of Base Realignment and Closure out of this legislation.”

U.S. military readiness receives another significant boost in the bill, which authorizes: • $40.8 billion for new

aircraft • $36.3 billion for new ships and the maintenance of existing ships • $23.5 billion for repairs and rebuilding of military buildings and infrastructure • $17.7 billion for rehabilitation and replacement of worn out Army equipment Earlier this year, Smith supp or t e d t he F Y2018 NDAA (P.L. 115-91), which

i ncluded a 2.4 percent across-the-board pay raise for military personnel and authorized over $146.5 million for JB-MDL for construction projects related to the arrival of the KC-46A refueling tanker anticipated for 2021. It also authorized $11.6 million for Nav y Reserve and Marine Corps Reserve projects at the base for aircraft apron, taxiway, and support facilities.

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.

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!

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.

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.”

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!

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.

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.

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: (Safety - See Page 25)

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 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.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

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.

County Buys Open Space In Berkeley

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

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

The county is set to pay up to $1.025 million plus up to $2,200 for property tax adjustments.

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

The larger lot, 21.13 acres, is situated by Hickory Lane/Segal Avenue in Bayville, where a lot of development has been taking place. The parcel the county wants to acquire is approved for two homes and some industrial uses. It’s near an 812-acre tract that was purchased from the NJ Pulverizing Co. in December 2016, that is now the Florence T. Allen Conservation Area and where the Barnegat Bay Trail is near.

The second parcel totaling 3.10 acres is off Route 9 and fronts along Cedar Creek.

There are two billboards on the property, which of course will come down once the county owns the land, Villinger said.

That property is close to the township’s Dudley Park, but not anything owned by the county.

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

A nine-member advisory committee, established in 1998, nominates properties for the Freeholders to consider.

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

NEW JERSEY – Anyone considering donating to a charity should research that charity before donating, the Federal Trade Commission said.

These days, charities and fundraisers (groups that solicit funds on behalf of organizations) use the phone, face-to-face contact, email, the internet (including social networking sites), and mobile devices to solicit and obtain donations. Naturally, scammers use these same methods to take advantage of persons’ goodwill. Regardless of how they reach someone, avoid any charity or fundraiser that refuses to provide detailed information about its identity, mission, costs, and how the donation will be used; won’t provide proof that a contribution is tax deductible; uses a name that closely resembles that of a better-known, reputable organization; gives thanks for pledges that weren’t made; uses high-pressure tactics like trying a person to donate immediately, without giving that person time to think about it and do their research; asks for donations in cash or asks persons to wire money; offers to send a courier or overnight delivery service to collect the donation immediately; guarantees sweepstakes winnings in exchange for a

Advice Before Giving To A Charity contribution. By law, a person never has to give a donation to be eligible to win a sweepstakes.

Donators should ask for detailed information about the charity, including name, address, and telephone number. They should get the exact name of the organization and do some research. Searching the name of the organization online — especially with the word “complaint(s)” or “scam”— is one way to learn about its reputation. Call the charity. Find out if the organization is aware of the solicitation and has authorized the use of its name. The organization’s development staff should be able to help. Find out if the charity or fundraiser must be registered in the state by contacting the National Association of State Charity Officials.

Check if the charity is trustworthy by contacting the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance, Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, or GuideStar. And ask if the caller is a paid fundraiser. If so, ask the name of the charity they represent, the percentage of the donation that will go to the charity, how much will go to the actual cause to which you’re donating, and how much will go to the fundraiser.

Donators should keep records of donations

and make an annual donation plan to stick with. Visit this Internal Revenue Service (IRS) webpage to find out which organizations are eligible to receive tax deductible contributions.

Know the difference between “tax exempt” and “tax deductible.” Tax exempt means the organization doesn’t have to pay taxes. Tax deductible means donators can deduct their contribution on their federal income tax return.

Never send cash donations. For security and tax purposes, it’s best to pay by check — made payable to the charity — or by credit card.

Never wire money to someone claiming to be a charity. Scammers often request donations to be wired because wiring money is like sending cash: once sent, it can’t be gotten back.

Do not provide a credit or check card number, bank account number or any personal information until the donator has thoroughly researched the charity.

Be wary of charities that spring up too suddenly in response to current events and natural disasters. Even if they are legitimate, they probably don’t have the infrastructure to get the donations to the

affected area or people.

If a donation request comes from a group claiming to help the community (for example, local police or firefighters), ask the local agency if they have heard of the group and are getting financial support.

What about texting? The charge will show up on the mobile phone bill. If the donator has asked his mobile phone provider to block premium text messages — texts that cost extra — then he won’t be able to donate this way.

The National Do Not Call Registry gives persons a way to reduce telemarketing calls, but it exempts charities and political groups. However, if a fundraiser is calling on behalf of a charity, persons may ask not to get any more calls from, or on behalf of, that specific charity. If those calls continue, the fundraiser may be subject to a fine.

Anyone who thinks they’ve been the victim of a charity scam or if a fundraiser has violated Do Not Call rules, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.

These complaints can help detect patterns of wrong-doing and lead to investigations and prosecutions.

Complaints can be filed at ftccomplaintassistant.gov.

File The Trade Name With The Ocean County Clerk

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County residents interested in starting a new business can file the Trade Name with the Ocean County Clerk’s office. “...We want to encourage Ocean County residents who are starting a business to visit either our Toms River or Stafford Township locations,” said Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella. “We see people daily filing for Trade Names. I applaud them for wanting to invest in their future here in Ocean County.”

Last year more than 500 individuals from Ocean County had their trade name certificate recorded at the County Clerk’s Office as they joined thousands of Americans across the nation in starting a new business.

Individuals conducting or transacting business under any assumed name or designation are required to file a business trade name certificate with the County Clerk’s Office.

Applicants simply complete a registration form, which states the name, nature,

address of the business and the names/ residence addresses of the business owners.

The registration form must be notarized and the fee is $50. Banks or financial institutions require a Trade Name Certificate when opening business accounts.

“The staff at the County Clerk’s Office can help you with this process,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Clerk.

If you are thinking about starting a new

business, go to the County Clerk website at clerk.co.ocean.nj.us/tradenames.htm or visit the Clerk’s Toms River Office at 118 Washington St., or the Manahawkin office at 179 South Main St. You can also call the offices at 732-506-5198 or 609-597-1500 for further information.

“So much goes into starting a new business,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little. “The Ocean County Clerk and his staff are there to help with this important step.”

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. This includes moist heat, ice, electric-

PHYSICAL THERAPIST & FACILITY MANAGER Craig Michaels received his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Rutgers/ UMDNJ Graduate School. 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. In the near future, he looks forward to furthering his manual skills and supplementing his education with continuing education courses in Maitland and myofascial release. Craig has an ultimate goal to become a Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist.

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.
