By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Township officials held a special meeting on Sept. 4, to hear the public’s thoughts on the 2018 Monmouth County Municipal Open Space Grant Program project for Howell Township.

The application proposes to revamp Soldier Memorial Park by constructing a multi-use building on the property.

The new, multi-use facility would include permanent restrooms, a storage area, a concession stand with a kitchen, utility services (i.e. sewer, water, electric), an overhang to provide shade, and additional seating to supplement the benches already in place.

The Monmouth County Municipal Open Space Grant

Program aims to “develop or redevelop land to expand recreational opportunities,” according to Kelsey Howard, grants and funding coordinator for Maser Consulting.

Howard presented the project application at the meeting on behalf on the Open Space Grant program.

Howard explained that the total construction cost will be $750,000, $250,000 of which would be covered by the grant.

Soldier Memorial Park, located at 579 Lakewood-Farmingdale Road, right now consists of five baseball diamonds, nine soccer fields, three “tot lots,” four picnic areas, portable restrooms and storage space.

Locals Lead Monmouth’s Opening Win

By Chris Christopher WEST LONG BRANCH - Ex-local high school players contributed to the Monmouth University football team’s 56-28 victory over Hampton University on Saturday at Kessler Stadium.

Wide receiver Vinny Grasso, a graduate student out of Monsignor Donovan (now Donovan Catholic), scored one touchdown in the Sept. 8 game in front of an announced crowd of 3,092

fans.

Tymere Berry, a redshirt junior defensive back from Toms River South, intercepted one pass and added three solo tackles and one assist as the Hawks evened their record at 1-1 with the non-conference win.

Senior defensive back Matt Castronuova, a former Jackson Memorial player competing on special teams, turned in a touchdown saving

tackle. Freshman wide receiver Eddie Morales, of Howell, seeing action as a utility player, made two solo tackles and broke up one pass.

Monmouth:

Continued From Page 1 three touchdowns on 21 carries.

The Hawks, who won their sixth straight home game dating back to last season at their one-year-old $35 million venue, rallied from a 14-0 fi rst-quarter deficit, burying the Pirates under a 28-0 avalanche for a 28-14 halftime lead.

“It wasn’t exactly the way we wanted to start it,” Monmouth coach Kevin Callahan said. “I felt we handled that adversity very well and had the game in control. There was tremendous explosiveness on the part of our offense. When we were down 14-0, we said, ‘Hey, we’ve gotta keep playing.

Settle down and do your job. Then we clicked on offense and regained confidence that transcended to the defense. The next thing we knew, we were up 42-14.”

“Once we get rolling, we get clicking,” said Guerriero, a 5-foot-10, 190-pounder.

Devell Jones, a 6-foot, 235-pound senior running back, opened the assault with a 4-yard touchdown run over the right side with 2:42 left in the fi rst quarter. Matt Mosquera followed with his fi rst of four extra point kicks to cut the deficit to 14-7.

Jones’ touchdown capped an 8-play, 73yard drive that consumed 4:29. Guerriero pulled the Hawks to within 14-14 with 14:06 to go in the first half, racing 28 yards.

Jones, breaking several tackles, bulled over the left side for a touchdown from 2 yards to send the winners in front to stay 21-14 with 4:01 remaining in the fi rst half.

Guerriero, a 5-foot-10, 190-pounder,

pushed the lead to 28-14 when he ripped through a huge hole over the right side of the Hawks’ line and sped 67 yards.

“I saw green,” Guerriero said. “I have no other answer for that question. My line and my tight end did a good job of blocking inside the box.”

The onslaught continued in the second

35-14 lead with 13:41 to play in the third quarter. Grasso set up the score with an 8-yard run on a reverse around right end to the Pirates’ 37.

Monmouth extended its lead to 42-14 when Powell hauled in a 10-yard scoring pass from Bahar with 8:59 to go in the third quarter.

Displaying shifty moves as he faked out five defenders, Grasso caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from Bahar to widen the Hawks’ lead to 55-28 with 8:53 to play in the game.

“It was a quick hitting play on third and

five,” said Grasso, a 5-foot-7, 175-pounder.

“I beat their mike linebacker and made people miss. Bahar did a good job of getting me the ball. It was a good call by (coach Callahan).”

Grasso set up a touchdown with a 19-yard dash on a reverse to the left side for a fi rst down, putting the ball on the Hawks’ 47.

Guerriero followed with a 1-yard run for a 49-21 lead on the fi nal play from scrimmage of the third quarter.

Grasso fi nished the game with two catches for 33 yards.

“Vinny has been with us for five years,” Callahan said. “He has made a lot of contributions to our program. He has been a dynamic player for us. He has made contributions as a receiver and as a ball carrier.

He has the ability to make big plays with the ball in his hands.

“Vinny is a great leader. He is well respected. The other players respect him and emulate him. They want to be like Vinny Grasso.”

Berry picked off a pass in the end zone with Monmouth ahead 56-28 with 5:26 to play in the game.

Berry and Wetzel are the Hawks’ captains. They are joined by two game captains selected during the week. Berry, a 6-foot-1 175-pounder, was a first-team AllBig South Conference fi rst team selection prior to this season.

“I couldn’t believe it when I heard,” Berry said. “I am just blessed with the opportunity. I just want to live up to the standard as captain. I’ve been working hard and trying (Monmouth- See Page 4)

I am just glad that they see that in me and they want to follow my lead.”

Guerriero shredded the Pirates (1-1) for 145 yards on 12 carries in the fi rst half.

Monmouth junior quar terback Kenji Bahar completed seven of 13 passes for 185 fi rst-half yards. His favorite receiver was senior wideout Reggie White Jr., who caught four passes for 103 yards. Bahar completed passes to four receivers in the fi rst half on Military and First Responders Appreciation Day. Castronuova temporarily saved a fi rsthalf touchdown when he tackled Hampton redshirt junior Ronald Bell at the Pirates’ 40-yard line on the opening kickoff.

Hampton, which scored on two of its fi rst three possessions, answered with a 32-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Delmon Williams to Bell with 13:05 left in the opening quarter. Freshman Evan Lomax kicked his fi rst of two extra points in the opening half for a 7-0 lead.

The Pirates stretched their lead to 14-0 with 7:19 to play in the fi rst quarter when Williams tossed a screen pass to the left side to sophomore wide receiver Antonio Graham, resulting in a 70-yard touchdown.

Bahar connected on 15 of 26 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns on the day. White Jr. caught five passes for 145 yards.

“We were very balanced on our offensive attack,” Callahan said. “It was far from a perfect game. We have to pay attention to the details and to the fi ner points of the game. An awful lot occurred today that we can build upon. Winning today was important. We’re taking it one win at a time. We have to keep moving forward.”

Wetzel, a 6-foot-4 285-pounder, was a preseason all-conference selection.

“It is incredible,” he said. “This is my fifth year and now I get to be a captain. It’s a credit to our program. I’m here to take on this leadership role the best way I can.”

Howard noted that the project addresses the needs of the township by providing additional recreation opportunities but also by adding permanent restrooms to the area.

The Soldier Memorial Park project was also included in the original park concept and the township’s Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan Element.

Mayor Theresa Berger inquired during the meeting where the rest of the funds for the project would come from. With the grant, the township would still be required to pay a minimum of $500,000.

According to Director of Community Development Jim Herrman, the township does have approximately $3 million in an Open Space Trust Fund for projects such as this one.

Both Councilwoman Evelyn O’Donnell and deputy Mayor Robert Nicastro called the project “ambitious.”

“Like everything else you have to catch up and update amenities,” stated Nicastro. “This is a perfect project for this area, and quite frankly, it’s needed.”

The application deadline for the grant program is 4 p.m. on Sept. 20, 2018.

Kreskin should not be referred to as “the late.” Kreskin has not passed away. We regret the error.

China Must Be Held Accountable For Production Of Deadly Fentanyl

From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. – “Chinese-made fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, is killing Americans - more than 29,000 in 2017 alone.

We must hold the Chinese government accountable,” Congressman Chris Smith (R-4th) said during a hearing about how deadly fentanyl is contributing to the opioid epidemic.

A leading prosecutor from Smith’s Congressional dis-

trict, Joseph Coronato, of Ocean County, called China-made fentanyl into the U.S. a “synthetic storm” that is “devastating,” but highlighted his program that allows drug abusers to voluntarily turn themselves in to a police station—more than 800 since 2017—without being prosecuted. Smith said the program has “almost certainly reduced deaths.” In 2017, there was a 20 percent reduction in

Governor Phil Murphy $15 minimum wage.

“Adjusted for cost of living, New Jersey’s minimum wage is the 5th-most insufficient in the nation,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “That is unacceptable. New Jersey-

Continued From Page 1 on the position of vice principal and supervisor of the K-5 gifted and talented program. Howroyd is moving to the Howell district following 15 years with the Monroe Township School District as a third grade teacher, according to Howell schools.

“Mr. Howroyd views a collaborative school environment as the key to creating successful teachers and students. He believes partnerships with parents and community partners are essential to enriching the experience at Newbury,” stated the district.

Alongside this new addition, a 14-year veteran of the Howell district, Raymond Gredder, is now moving up from his position as vice principal of the Newbury School to the principal of the Memorial School.

Gredder spent the past three years working as vice principal and supervisor of the gifted and talented program at Newbury. Prior to this, he was a teacher of special education, fifth grade, and gifted and talented. Gredder’s roots have grown in Monmouth County, as a Howell resident and graduate of Monmouth University.

Gredder described the change as “one of the

over the internet.”

Smith pressed both the State Department and DEA to do more to hold China accountable for fentanyl in the U.S., asking them, “Are we using existing tools to hold bad actors in China accountable? We have tools, such as the Global Magnitsky Act, which targets corrupt officials and human rights abusers. Perhaps it is time we start thinking outside the box and use something like Global Magnitsky to ensure that corrupt Chinese officials and narco-traffickers

are held to account.”

Smith also said he voted for the House-passed “Synthetics and Overdose Prevention Act, to require the U.S. Postal Service (as private carriers like UPS and Fed-Ex are currently required to do) to obtain advance electronic data (AED) - detailed info on the shipper and addressee and other data - empowering Customs and Border Protection to target fentanyl and other illegal drug shipments.”

Bryce Pardo of the RAND Corporation testified that the potency of fentanyl has sharp-

ly increased the number of opioid overdoses. “The crisis was initially fueled by oversupply of prescription painkillers, such as oxycodone and hydrocodone. Yet, in 2017, synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, were involved in approximately 60 percent of all opioid overdose deaths,” Pardo stated in his testimony.

“Today’s drug overdose crisis now surpasses major public health epidemics of prior generations, including the HIV/AIDS epidemic,” Pardo stated.

Minimum Wage Of $15 Needed In NJ

NEW BRUNSWICK - Recognizing the need for working families to receive livable wages, Governor Phil Murphy and Speaker Craig Coughlin toured Elijah’s Promise and expressed their support for a

overdose deaths—174—in Ocean County, down from 217 deaths in 2016.

Still, based on his medical examiner toxicology analysis, Coronato said “that in 2014, 10 percent of overdose deaths had fentanyl in their systems.

In 2018, fentanyl-related deaths have jumped to 80 percent.”

Coronato also said “synthetics will become the predominate type of illegal drugs abused within the next 5 years” and that “in many instances” it is being sold “right

ans should not have to live paycheck to paycheck, in some cases deciding between whether to put food on the table or keep the lights on. The path to a stronger and fairer New Jersey includes raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour and ensuring fairness and opportunity for everyone in our state.”

“Anyone working hard at a full-time job should, at the

proudest moments of his career.”

Another long-time member of the district is Brooke Napoli. Most recently, Napoli acted as Vice Principal for the Greenville and Ramtown schools from 2014 to 2018. Now, she is taking on the new challenge of Principal at the Taunton School.

Napoli has been in the district since 2002, teaching second, fourth, and seventh grades. She called the new position a “dream job come true.”

“Brooke’s heart has been won over by the elementary school child. And now, recognizing the significance of the formative elementary school years, she works tirelessly to be sure her ‘children’ are given every opportunity to succeed,” stated the district.

Also at Taunton, Natalie Nigro will be taking on the position of vice principal. Nigro moved up in the ranks from student teacher in 2003, to first and second grade teacher, to instructional coach.

Middle School North will also be seeing a new vice principal with the addition of Kathleen Stigliano. One of the newer members of the district, Stigliano has been working as a Learning Disabilities Teacher Consultant in Howell for just the past four years. Prior to this, she was special education teacher.

least, be able to provide their family with the basics - a roof over their family’s head, food on the table and clothes on their back,” said Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin. “I am committed to ramping up the minimum wage to $15 and will continue to work with my caucus, Senate President Sweeney and Governor Murphy on a responsible path towards raising the wages

and standard of living for working, middle class New Jerseyans.”

“I am looking forward to working with Governor Murphy and Speaker Coughlin to see that New Jersey increases the minimum wage to $15 an hour,” said Senate President Steve Sweeney. “It is the right thing to do for working people and the smart thing to do for the economy.”

By raising the minimum wage to $15, Governor Murphy believes we can grow and protect the middle class and working families. These efforts to empower workers in our state will boost productivity and grow the economy.

Elijah’s Promise is committed to ending hunger, providing education and jobs in the food industry, and offering social services to those in need.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY E DITORIAL A Letter To The Editor Is One Person’s Opinion For 23 years, Micromedia Publications has been a source for news in the community. Ever since the first edition of The Manchester Times, dated April 18, 1995, we’ve published letters to the editor on a variety of topics ranging from local issues to international affairs.

For clarification purposes, Wikipedia defines a letter to the editor as “a letter written to a newspaper, magazine or other periodical about issues of concern to readers, usually intended to be published in the paper/ periodical.”

Everything from nose hair to politics - no subject is off limits and we get a wide array of submissions. Sometimes we make the decision not to run a letter that may be riddled with hate speech, racist, homophobic or blasphemous ramblings. But the company has always run letters as a common practice. In fact, our whole mission statement is based on the importance of the community and serving as a voice to our readers. Part of that service is to allow for opinions to be expressed and then discussed either through additional letters or online social media posts.

You can imagine my surprise when I saw some of the colorful comments posted on our social media pages after we ran a letter in which the AUTHOR called for President Donald Trump’s impeachment. Did we agree with the letter? Maybe, maybe not. We are journalists first and don’t take sides (despite many major media outlets today doing so). Was the letter the opinion of the writer? Yes. Was there a disclaimer stating that the letter was the opinion of the writer? Absolutely. Did people read that disclaimer?

Obviously not.

Do we run positive letters regarding President Trump?

Yes, yes we do. Do we get a lot of submissions? Frankly, no, we don’t. That is certainly surprising to us in the newsroom as we do live in

a Republican county. If we received more, we would certainly run them.

A monk from England named John Lydgate is k nown for this famous phrase: “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.”

I will say this once again - this time both in the printed papers and online: we welcome ALL letters from all sides of the political aisle. Our newspapers are fair and balanced. We don’t take sides. We don’t play favorites.

It seems that ever since the 2016 election, the amount of negativity from people is stronger than ever. Regardless of your political views and ideology and who you support to lead this great country, remember that we are all human beings with a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

There’s certainly a way you can express yourself without name calling and being utterly hurtful. Someone’s political view doesn’t say everything about that person’s character. I’ve seen a lot of hate speech from all sides and it’s really a shame. We should all want our country to be great and for us to remember all of the liberties we have thanks to our founding fathers and the brave men and women who have served our nation.

We welcome a difference of opinion without fear of retribution or blowback - just try and be civil and know the letters to the editor will continue to be a permanent staple of the Micromedia newspapers and Jersey Shore Online.

So with that, if you would like to send a letter, email it to news@jerseyshoreonline.com Thank you as always, Jason Allentoff Vice President/COO Micromedia Publications, Inc.

Letters To The Editor MacArthur A Leader For NJ During the last midterm election, four years ago, the nation was experiencing a wave of voter discontent. It was at this time that Congressman MacArthur was elected to the New Jersey 3rd Congressional seat. It was also when Republicans expanded their majority in the House, gained control of the Senate for the first time in eight years, and total control of Congress.

With the 2016 election of President Donald Trump, Congressman MacArthur and the Republicans finally had the opportunity to make a real difference for our country.

During Congressman MacArthur’s time in office, his years of previous experience in the business world, his unquestioned support and dedication to the men and women in the military and our national defense and his commitment to tackling the Opioid epidemic, have made him a valued member in the House. One need only look at his record of reforming FEMA in wake of Superstorm Sandy and his efforts to save Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, to see how valuable his leadership has been. This is what I like most about Congressman MacArthur. He is a trailblazer and a leader, not a follower.

Under the leadership of Congressman MacArthur and the Republican-led Government, you can see for yourself that

Letters To The Editor the economic engine of the United States is booming, and the unemployment rate among all Americans stands at record lows. Companies and jobs are coming back to America, like never before.

Thank you Tom MacArthur, for your important contributions to the improving of conditions in our country.

When A Politician Lies When considering candidates this November, it’s important to look past disinformation and fear mongering pushed forth by some candidates and their surrogates. When a candidate uses lies to stoke the fears of voters, it should make one question why that candidate resorts to disinformation instead of outlining their ideas for the community they will represent. The tired, old tactic of lying about your opponent does not speak to today’s voters because today’s voters are very savvy.

Many of my friends and I prefer candidates like Andy Kim, candidate for Representative of NJ-03, who have a positive message, who look to the future with a well-

Free Will, And Government Oppression What is the meaning of life?

Like our DNA, it is different for each of us as we utilize our talents, we leave our fingerprints on the future. God bestowed us with the gift of free will and the dominion over all other living things.

This free will is unconditional, including whether to believe or not. Many believe man has evolved beyond the belief in God. The truth is, in all of recorded history we have not evolved at all, being of the same flesh easily swayed by evil. Men have chosen to have dominion over other men, denying them their right to free will and choice. This is the greatest evil of all. In the 20th century alone at least 160 million people were murdered by their own governments ruled by evil men.

Free will is meant to be used within the realm of the Ten Commandments or the Golden Rule. Believers living by the Golden Rule know their first obligation is to sustain oneself. Once accomplished, you should be fruitful and multiply within your ability to support a family and participate in a community. Your final obligation is charity for those unable to support themselves. Forced charity through government taxation is not charity at all. It is the usurpation of free will.

We’ve a long way to go.

Welle Insulted Local Residents

Democrat Josh Welle is running for a seat in the House of Representatives against Republican Cong re ssm a n C h r is Sm it h in New Jersey’s Four th Congressional Dist rict.

The election is on Nov. 6.

Mr. Welle is a veteran and I thank him for his militar y ser vice. Can’t thank him enough. Now his comments mentioned online on Aug. 2 regarding residents of the 4th Dist r ict are insulting and misleading. He says he wants to end racism and discrimination in the district.

“But as you go to Howell and Jackson and Allentown and Millstone, a nd p e ople who vot e d for Ch r is Smith for 37 years,” he said. “They’re n o t t h e r e.” M r. Wel le sure has a funny way of trying to get votes.

I lived and ser ved in Howell and now live in Ja ck son . A nd ju st b e cau se a good m a ny of us in the 4th District are conservatives or lean Republican does not make u s r a c i s t . M r. Wel le’s “progressive” ways have failed ever ywhere they’ve been applied and will only place more of a burden on people and businesses already f leeing our state in droves.

Nino Borrelli Jackson Ed note: the full quote was: “I want to move this district forward. I want to fight against discrimination in this district.

I want to f ight against racism in this district. I want to bring new jobs to this district in the green economy. But as you go to Howell and Jack son and Allentown and Millstone, and people who v ote d fo r Ch r i s S mith for 37 years. They’re not there yet.”

Bringing Suicide Out Of The Darkness

–Photo courtesy Arielle Disick Arielle Disick helped organize this fundraiser to bring awareness to suicide, which claimed the life of her friend in this photo.

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.” ( Suicide - See Page 10)

AMI Foundation Donates 270 Backpacks To Local Schools

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The Atlantic Medical Imaging (AMI) Foundation recently lent a helping hand to those local students who might not have school supplies for the start of the new school year.

said Dr. Peggy Avagliano, President of the AMI Foundation Board of Directors.

The drive took place before the start of the new school year. Donations were collected in blue baskets placed in all 12 of AMI’s locations throughout Atlantic, Cape May, Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The AMI Foundation even purchased the backpacks to carry the school supplies.

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 ( Suicicde - See Page 17)

7 Natural Remedies For Bug Bites And Stings

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Bugs are not my favorite thing. Even after living in Florida for 35 years, I never grew accustomed to them. If you’re like me and would rather not admit defeat in the summer by staying indoors, then go ahead and enjoy the outdoors. You can always soothe your bug bites with my tips below.

Just FYI, the B vitamin trick doesn’t really work. Some people assume that taking B vitamins repels mosquitos and prevents bug bites, but that’s simply not true. You’re still going to get attacked because mosquitoes are more attracted by carbon dioxide and heat, which all of us put off. So forget the B vitamin trick. Here are 6 soothing ways to deal with bug bites: 1. Ice Cubes - Ice is a foolproof method for relieving irritation from insect bites on contact. Not only does ice temporarily numb the pain, it also reduces swelling and inf lammation so that your injury heals faster.

2. Tea Bags - While you might typically turn to tea to soothe your emotional state, this potent brew can aid sensitive skin as well. The tannins in green and black tea are natural astringents, working quickly to ease discomfort.

3. Garl ic - Eating garlic the day before you go for a hike is a good idea. As you sweat, you waft a sulfur compound, and bugs hate it. Alternatively, cut a clove in half and apply it to your skin.

Be careful though, it occasionally

exacerbates your irritation, especially if it’s not diluted with coconut or olive oil.

4. Essential Oils - Tea tree oil and lavender are stellar options for bug bites.

Put a wad of lotion in your palm and then 1 drop of Tea Tree, and 5 drops of Lavender essential oil. Dab this onto your wound and it’s instantly soothing.

5. Aloe Vera - Just slice open a fresh aloe leaf and apply the succulent’s gooey gel to the sting. Allow it to dry in place on your skin. The aloe plant’s anti-inf lammatory properties make it valuable for healing minor wounds and reducing risk of infection.

6. Basil - Basil isn’t just for pesto! for basil. This fragrant herb contains a chemical compound called eugenol, which relieves itchy, irritated skin. You can steep a tablespoon of dried herb (or 6 fresh leaves) in about 2 cups of water.

Let it cool, then apply the basil-infused water to your skin with a compress.

7. Meat Tenderizer - Mix it with water to make a paste, then apply to the sting.

It works on contact.

Now you know the best ways to take care of yourself if you happen to get bit. Of course, it’s ideal to stay out of bug infested areas. Antihistamines and analgesics can be used for relief if necessary too. It’s smart to avoid wearing yellow in bee territory. Also, lighting a citronella candle (or using citronella bug spray) will keep insects away from your patio space.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

My Husband Is Addicted To Football!

Dear Joel, My husband and I had a really great summer. We took a nice vacation at the beach and made the most out of every weekend but now that the summer sun is fading away, I have to face a lonely life.

See my wonderful husband is an extreme football fan. Once September arrives it’s nothing but JETS, JETS, JETS. I don’t like football, what can I do?

Answer: I know you don’t like football, but you do like your husband so why not let him have his time in front of the TV. I know it cuts into your weekend time, but that can be a plus. Football season is a great time

to try out new recipes, catch up some of your favorite shows, slip out for some holiday shopping, clean out the garage, and lots more activities, like crafts.

Why not make a scrap book of your wonderful summer together? He gave you lots of his time and focus in the summer. Let him take some time for himself and you may just find a great gift in your stocking.

Inside The Law Congratulations!

You Have Just Won The Lottery...Or Have You?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Michael J. Deem, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates Today’s world is filled with scams. It’s becoming harder and harder to trust anyone.

A new assault on victims is in the form of Lottery and Sweepstake scams. These scams are becoming more and more common. They may come to you from social media, phone calls, mailings, e-mail and text messages-all saying that you have won money or prizes. The scammers may even try to impersonate public figures, police, FBI, Lottery and Officials. To make matters worse, they have also mastered the art of cloning otherwise legitimate web sites and social media profiles. So how do you know if your winnings are legitimate?

Scammers like to ask for up-front payment, such as taxes, processing fees, delivery fees, legal fees or customer fees to collect your “winnings.” Any payment requested in advance should be a red flag!

The most common up-front payment request is a monetary transfer, because these are like cash. Other up-front payment schemes that are becoming popular include prepaid cards and iTunes gift cards because the scammers can access your balance if you give them the number from the back of the card or a PIN over the phone. Scammers may also ask that you send cash in the mail. Once you give them cash they are likely to ask for more and more. One trick the scammers use to

entice victims to send Michael J. Deem more money is to claim that there is a larger jackpot at stake or that there was some error or problem that can only be solved with more money. The scammers may even threaten violence.

Never give these strangers your personal information. Don’t give them your banking information or credit card information.

The scammers will use this information to make unauthorized charges to your credit card or access your bank account.

The scammers can also sell your private information to other scammers. Some victims are asked to deposit fake checks and if that check bounces the victim will be responsible for the bounced check fee.

If you have fallen victim to a scam you may be able to stop the damage. Report the matter to your financial institution, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, Local Police, the State Attorney General, The Federal Trade Commission and the US Postal Inspection Service.

The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle most consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. A contingency means if there is no recovery, there is no fee. Call us for a free consultation: 732-505-1212.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of sept 15 - sept 21

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): To prove you can stand on your own two feet you might step on someone else’s. In the week ahead, you may be bored by the mundane. You could be too eager to take risks or to demonstrate your independence.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): While other people are hard at work you may be preoccupied by disruptive influences in your social life. You might let flattery go to your head as the week rolls by and tempted to break off a relationship.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You like to be in the know so you are likely to investigate details that are sealed with a stamp of confidentiality.

Concentrate on being a busy bee as this week unfolds and your efforts will lead you to the honeycomb.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be prepared for anything in the week to come. If you leave home without an umbrella you can’t blame the sky for raining. Today’s New Moon may spur new ideas and a more ambitious attitude towards a partner.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Parlay your passions into improving your pay check. You might be entirely focused on a business project or powerful workplace startup in the week ahead. A chance conversation can light a fire under your money-making abilities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Power up your personality. In the week ahead, you might be more ambitious and more able to wield influence among the movers and shakers. The New Moon in your sign presages a refreshing new viewpoint and attitude.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The more you see the more you want. Don’t spend money on things that won’t stand up to scrutiny once your feeding frenzy passes. Loved ones may be unpredictable or try your patience as this week unfolds.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the week ahead, you may need to offer encouragement and advice to a companion who is penny wise and pound foolish. You know that those who make decisions based on fear are sure to fail.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When it rains it pours. To enjoy financial security, it might be necessary to find temporary shelter when the winds blow against you. Remain steady in the week ahead when tempted to try a different direction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Persevere despite obstacles. You might enjoy taking a walk on the wild side in the week ahead. Something daring might break up the monotony, but don’t take risks with your money or your business relationships.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Dig deep.

Investigating the secrets of life may rivet your attention this week. Experimenting with something new is good for the soul. But you may unleash complications by following through on an impulsive desire.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Spend your pennies wisely. You may be up-to-date with the latest gadgets and trends but your desire to be in the swim can sink your bank account. Use your pleasant personality to win people over to your side..

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Chicken Dinner Winner: Try A Time-Honored Method For Cooking Juicy Roast Chicken

By Wolfgang Puck

ROAST TARRAGON-SCENTED CHICKEN IN A SALT CRUST WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE Serves 6 to 8 2 whole chickens, each about 3 pounds (1.5 kg) 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 4 sprigs fresh tarragon 3 pounds (1.5 kg) coarse sea salt or kosher salt 3 pounds (1.5 kg) all-purpose flour About 3 cups (750 mL) water 2 large eggs, lightly beaten, for egg wash Mustard vinaigrette (recipe follows) Season the insides of the chickens with pepper. Gently inserting your clean fingers through the neck opening of each bird, gently loosen the skin covering the breast meat, taking care not to tear the skin. Carefully insert a fresh tarragon sprig between the skin and meat of each breast half.

Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the salt and flour.

Stir in enough of the water to form a stiff dough. Divide the dough into two equal pieces.

For each chicken, divide the dough half into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. With a rolling pin, roll out the smaller piece of dough to form a circle slightly larger than the chicken and about 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick.

Place the dough on one half of a large roasting pan and set a chicken on top.

Roll out the larger piece of dough to a circle large enough to generously cover the chicken and about 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick, and drape it over the chicken. Brush the edges of the dough with some water and pinch the edges together

to seal them well so no air can escape. Repeat with the other chicken and remaining dough.

With the egg wash, evenly brush the tops of the dough-covered chickens. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and roast until the crust is deep golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Remove the chickens from the oven and, with large, sturdy spatulas, carefully transfer them to a large serving platter or two smaller platters. At the table, use a meat mallet and tongs to break and remove the crusts, taking care to avoid the hot steam. Transfer the chickens to a cutting board, and cut into quarters.

Spoon some of the vinaigrette onto serving plates and place the chicken on top. Serve immediately, passing the remaining vinaigrette for guests to help themselves.

MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE Makes about 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon 2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar or other good-quality wine vinegar 2 large egg yolks 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 large pinch freshly ground black pepper 2 cups (500 mL) safflower oil Put the mustard, tarragon, vinegar, egg yolks, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. With a wire whisk, briskly stir together the ingredients until thoroughly blended.

While whisking briskly and continuously, slowly drizzle in the oil until it is fully incorporated and the dressing has formed a thick, smooth emulsion. Set aside until serving.
