Lawsuit Questions When County Can Share Public Records

By Jennifer Peacock Can the government deny public records to a requestor because they don’t want that information automatically posted to a third-party website that anyone can access?

A Monmouth County Superior Court Judge is set to decide Nov. 26.

Gavin Rozzi, creator of OPRAmachine.com, and two others - Jennifer Coombs, who operates ASK NJ Media Co. and Time to Change - Jersey Style, and independent journalist and site administrator Jeff Epstein - have filed suit against various Monmouth County government officials for denying (Lawsuit - See Page 2)

Howell Resident Spins Wheel Of Fortune

By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Howell residents and game show enthusiasts everywhere got to see Howell native Jessica Amsterdam fulfill a lifelong dream of hers as she appeared as a contestant on Wheel of Fortune.

Amsterdam competed for the grand prize on the October 16 episode of the show.

She noted that she has “been a big fan of it [Wheel of Fortune] since I was a little girl.”

It was only a matter of time before she went (Wheel Of Fortune - See Page 5)

Lawsuit:

Continued From Page 1 requests filed through that website.

The county, which fulfills its Open Public Records Act requests through the law offices Cleary Giacobbe Alfieri Jacobs, LLC, in Matawan, had asked that requests be made with a “secondary” or “alternative” email address, not through OPRAmachine.

OPRAmachine.com allows the public to file records requests. The website describes it this way: “You choose the public authority that you would like information from, then write a brief note describing what you want to know. We then send your request to the public authority. Any response they make is automatically published on the website for you and anyone else to find and read.”

Email exchanges between attorney Catherine Kim and Rozzi, Coombs and Epstein show that requests were denied when alternative emails were not supplied, as per the county’s policy, adopted at some point over the summer, of not releasing records that automatically post those records to a website.

Up to sometime in the early summer, it appears Monmouth County government agencies had honored requests made through OPRAmachine.

The policy to reject OPRAmachine-filed requests happened after county employees didn’t redact bank account numbers and other personal information about Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher Grammicioni and First Assistant Lori Linskey, Rozzi said. (The records, published to the site, were redacted by Rozzi.)

“The only reason the Defendants have given

Plaintiffs for why they are not providing OPRA responses to OPRAmachine is that they are worried about unauthorized disclosure of records,” Walter Luers, Esq., wrote in the court filing.

The Clinton, New Jersey-based attorney is representing Rozzi, Coombs and Epstein. He’s also the president of The New Jersey Foundation for Open Government. “First, that is not Plaintiffs’ problem, that is Defendants’ problem.”

An undated policy from Monmouth County Clerk Marion Masnick, provided by Kim to Jersey Shore Online Oct. 2 through an OPRA request, stated that “Due to the demand and volume of the requests and records, the county recognizes that it is possible to inadvertently release records with confidential and/or privileged information.

Regardless of our diligent efforts to review and adequately redact confidential or privileged information, the county, like any organization, is susceptible to human error.

It continued: “We respectfully request that all OPRA requestors provide an address or e-mail address that permits the county to correspond directly with the requestor and securely provide access to the records. The county will deny any requests for records if the responses, including attachments, are automatically posted on any websites.”

In his brief, Luers pointed out that the county needing to redact documents does not give them the authority to deny releasing records to the OPRAmachine address.

Nothing prevents those records, redacted or not, from being shared online. The county’s policy “punishes” OPRAmachine users.

“This does not restrict the requestor from

retaining, disseminating, distributing, or copying the records after receipt. However, the requestor may be liable for any unlawful disclosure of confidential and/or privileged information. The county does not waive any privilege or confidentiality within its message or the released records,” the county policy stated. “The county wishes to work alongside the requestor to provide the records requested and also prevent any inadvertent disclosure of confidential and/ or privileged information. We appreciate your courtesies and future cooperation.”

Since announcing the lawsuit at the end of September, Rozzi has been working on changes to OPRAmachine. In an Oct. 9 email to Jersey Shore Online, he explained he’s been working to address privacy concerns raised by Monmouth County.

“By the end of the month, we anticipate that our changes will allow OPRAmachine to detect and automatically redact social security numbers to protect privacy interests, something that no other proprietary public records solution (that we are aware of in NJ) does,” Rozzi wrote.

In a separate email the same day, Rozzi explained exactly why he filed suit.

“We want the court to order Monmouth County to do as they have previously done and honor the legally valid public records requests submitted to them by our users. We hope that the lawsuit will stop the county from treating public records requests differently because they originate from the OPRAmachine service. To remedy the county’s obstruction of the public records request process, we are urging the court to strike down the county’s unprecedented and overreaching

policy that limits access to public information and find them in violation of the law.”

A follow-up email to Kim, and her associate Sean Kean, was not answered by press time.

OPRA is the law that gives citizens access to most public records, with some exceptions.

According to “A Citizen’s Guide to the Open Public Records Act,” written by the New Jersey Government Records Council, “a public record under the common law is one required by law to be kept, or necessary to be kept in the discharge of a duty imposed by law, or directed by law to serve as a memorial and evidence of something written, said, or done, or a written memorial made by a public officer authorized to perform that function, or a writing filed in a public office. The elements essential to constitute a public record are that it be a written memorial, that it be made by a public officer, and that the officer be authorized by law to make it.”

In its broadest sense, a requestor must submit in writing the request for an existing document or file or recording. While most government agencies ask that the requestor use their OPRA form, it’s not required, although the request must state that it’s an OPRA request.

The government agency has seven business days to provide the item, or ask for an extension. Requests can be denied if the item in question does not exist, or is not covered under OPRA. Jersey Shore Online reached out to the Government Records Council for comment on OPRA, and how the law’s framers didn’t anticipate 21st Century technologies. They did not respond by press time.

Last week, I lost Alice, the love of my life for 35 years, following a four and a half year battle against ovarian cancer with truly inspiring grace and courage.

But beyond all the things we shared together during these years, when we married, as her gift to me I became part of her wonderful and caring family, which sustains me and offers me encouragement now during this difficult time. It is during times like this that we come to realize what a blessing it is to have such people in your life, something which we can easily forget in the course of our day-to-day lives. It is this blessing that I cherish with all my heart, and something of which I will never lose sight.

after a coveted spot on the show.

The process began with an online video application. Two weeks after she submitted her video, Amsterdam received a letter in the mail notifying her that she was chosen for contestant auditions in New York City.

“It was very exciting,” she said about the NYC auditions. In a room f illed with hundreds of people, Amsterdam and other potential contestants played to solve puzzles projected on a big screen.

As the number of contestants dwindled, Amsterdam found herself one of the finalists.

It was two weeks later that she found

The Howell Times, October 27, 2018, Page 5 out she was officially chosen for a live taping of the popular game show. Amsterdam f lew out to California, bringing her boyfriend and son along for the ride.

Being on the set “was nerve racking but it was so exciting,” she said.

Not only did she get her shot at being on television, but she also got to meet Vanna White, one half of Wheel of Fortune’s famous duo. Amsterdam said that Vanna White gave the contestants a few pointers prior to filming.

“Words couldn’t even describe it,” said Amsterdam about the entire experience.

Although she did not win the grand prize, she did make it to the final round coming out with over $17,000. She noted that she would use the money to take a big family vacation.

Monmouth County 2018 Paper Shredding Day FREEHOLD – Monmouth County has scheduled eleven 2018 Paper Shredding events in local communities so that Monmouth County residents have opportunities to get rid of old documents and confidential files safely.

“By providing our residents opportunities to shred their sensitive documents we are helping them protect thei r personal i nfor mat ion and ou r e nv i ron me nt ,” said Fre eholde r Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the County’s recycling efforts. “We encourage residents to do their par t by making use of these events and all other County services for proper waste disposal.”

All shredding events will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. as follows: • Saturday, November 17 – Bradley Beach; Ocean Avenue off Main Street, Lake Terrace

County residents may bring up to 100 lbs. to be shredded. The shredding event will stop once the sh reddi ng truck is full. All papers will be shredded on location in the mobile truck.

Docu ments should be f ree of large binder clips; staples and paper clips may be left on documents.

This is a project of the Monmouth Cou nt y Board of Chosen Freeholders and 2018 par t ner municipalities of Aberdeen, Asbur y Park, Atlantic Highlands, Bradley Beach, Freehold Twp., Keyport, Manasquan, Marlboro, Middletown, Spring Lake Heights and Upper Freehold.

Information about these paper shredding events, recycling and removing other items from the County’s waste stream may be obtained from the County’s website at visitmonmouth.com or by calling 732-683-8686, ext. 6721.

Acclaimed Chorus Presents Free Concert to Honor Nation’s Veterans

MONMOUTH COUNTY – On the exact 100th anniversary of the Armistice of World War I, Monmouth Civic Chorus will pay tribute to our nation’s veterans with an emotional and stirring presentation of wartime-inspired music.

Artistic Director Dr. Ryan James Brandau will lead the award-winning Chorus in Dona Nobis Pacem: A Salute to Veterans on Sunday, November 11, 2018 at 4 p.m. The concert kicks off the Chorus’ milestone 70th anniversary season. To thank the community for 70 years of support and to honor our vets, this will be a free performance for the public.

Ralph Vaughan Williams’ moving Dona Nobis Pacem will anchor the concert. Written in 1936, as the world was slowly awakening to the possibility of a second world conflict, Vaughan Williams selected three poems by Walt Whitman, texts from the Latin Mass, quotes from the bible, and a political speech

by British Parliamentarian John Bright for use in this impassioned plea for peace.

Also being sung during the concert, will be Paul Moravec’s lush and profound Songs of Love and War, which features settings of texts from the Civil War, World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War. Rounding out the program will be a performance by orchestra of Barber’s hauntingly beautiful and evocative Adagio for Strings. The Chorus will be joined by soprano and baritone soloists and orchestra.

Fittingly, the concert will take place on the Fort Monmouth property at Triumphant Life Church, 500 Malterer Avenue, Oceanport, NJ. As a special tribute to all of our nation’s veterans and to honor the entire community which has supported the Chorus for the past 70 years, tickets to the concert will be free. Because tickets are expected to go quickly, reservations are required. To order your free tickets, visit monmouthcivicchours.org or call 732-9339333. Orders will be limited to 4 tickets per reservation.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER A Plea To Voters Across The Aisle An earlier career with its frequent task of reconciliation between opponents, or a married couple in crisis, taught me the crucial need for empathy in all human relationships. I admit I’ve not always been totally consistent in providing this gift of empathy, but I do try quite diligently.

Allow me to give empathy for others some breathing room and a small voice. Although a registered democrat, I’ve occasionally crossed the aisle by voting for a republican, when I considered him or her the better candidate.

In that earlier long-past career, I had fervently believed the vast majority of human beings are people of good will who generally act in good faith. I’d like to believe that again, particularly with regard to my fellow Americans. True, these presumptions of good faith and of good will are very difficult to perceive in these times.

The political zeitgeist feels more like the Civil War-continued!

Nonetheless, citizens of good will and of good faith should come to the realization that the current President is leading the nation into the darkness of autocratic r ule. The Republican majorities in Congress have closed ran ks to

protect, praise and put tot al power i nto t he hands of this one man, who displays ment al aberrations in making compulsive decisions generally aligned with the enhancement of his ego, and not for the good of the hu man beings whom he ought to be leading towards a more perfect union.

If you clear away the smoke and mirrors of polit ical propagand a machines, my sisters a nd brot her s, you’re likely to acknowledge the absolute necessity of checks and balances in national government.

Congress is supposed to be a branch of government equal to the Executive and to the Judicial, not a subsidiary of the Oval Office.

I’m asking voting citizens who happen to be registered Republicans to abandon automatic support for their party this time, and to vote for the good of the nation a nd for t he com mon good.

Because, lacking check s a nd bala nces within Congress and between our three branches of government, we’re inadvertently clearing the road to autocratic rule and the revocation of our Constitution.

Histor y at tests it’s happened before!

I Found An Answer In Stafford Township My heart and my head both ache from the divisiveness and ugliness I am seeing around me. What happened to working together for the greater good?

Well, I am glad to report that I found a small glimmer of hope right here in Stafford Township. Joe Mangino is running for mayor.

According to Joe, this election is not about Democrat or Republican. It’s about doing what’s right for St afford Tow nship.

Building community and getting residents involved is a top priority. A few other priorities include stabilizing our property taxes, cleaning up abandoned properties in town and preparing for extreme weather. I already see Joe everywhere in town supporting Stafford events.

As mayor, he plans to be visible and available to all residents, so he can learn about our ideas and concerns.

Joe and his team have my vote and I invite you to learn more about him and the “Focus On Stafford” team by going to their webpage and Facebook page before going to the polls. And… VOTE. Barbara Reynolds Manahawkin

Anti-Kavanaugh Protesters As someone who has attended the March for Life in Washington for many years, I am shocked at the protests that took place at the Judge Brett Kavanaugh vote. Every year in January thousands upon thousands of people from as far away as Washington State march peacefully from the Washington Monument to the Supreme Court in support of unborn babies. At the March for Life, I’ve never seen the kind of aggression that was exhibited (at the Kavanaugh vote).

People who believe in the sanctity of life from conception to natural death have been frustrated in our efforts to protect the lives of the innocent babies who are murdered in the womb since 1973, but we would never behave like the unhinged lunatics I heard disrupt the vote.

The left will apparently stop at nothing to throw tantrums and cause disruptions when they don’t get their way. I question the mental stability of these folks and fear that this behavior will become the norm for people who don’t agree with decisions they don’t like. Free speech only applies to them all others should have no voice.

The rule of law and innocent until proven guilty only applies to them. It is a shame what has happened in this country, and I fear we’re on the brink of anarchy.

Marion Gillespie Brick

Smith Silent On Human Rights Violations When my mother came here from Co. Kerry just before the start of the Great Depres-

she was really 16. Her brother jumped ship and slipped across the border from Canada into New York where he married a Native American woman. Both my mother and her brother became citizens but they would be deported if they tried this in today’s United States of America.

They came to escape political oppression and to build a better life. Just one generation later, their descendants hold advanced degrees in physics, and are doctors, college professors, air line pilots, teachers, artists and even a Hollywood movie star. However, our family’s story is not unique, (except maybe for the Hollywood movie star).

As a first generation American and a bilingual clinical social worker, I am writing to raise my voice for so many current New Jersey residents who I know and who have come here to work, just like my mother and her brother.

They are not criminals and they are not gang members; rather, they are hard-working heads of families who deserve equal protection under the Constitution, the law of our land.

MY current congressman has been silent about the 58,010 non-criminal immigrants who have been detained by the president in his first fourteen months in office. Moreover, even though my Congressman sits on the Committee for Global Human Rights, he has said nothing about the 13,000 children who have been separated from their families and are still being held in detention centers.

We need an involved representative, someone to take the reins that remain slack in the hands of the current legislators who have failed to provide these residents with a path to citizenship. That I why I will make my voice heard on November 6th and vote for Josh Welle who will be a voice for those hitherto voiceless residents of our great State of New Jersey.

WASHI NGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J), a senior me mb e r of t he Se n at e Finance Committee, was joined by Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Senate Finance Committee member Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) in sending a letter to U.S. Treasu r y Se c ret a r y St eve n Mnuchin demanding his

for mal, written recusal from any matters before the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) related to Sea r s Holding Company. Recently, Sears filed for chapter 11 ba n k r upt cy prot e ct ion following the closure of hund reds of stores and layoffs of thousands of e m ploye e s i n t h e l a s t several years.

WII Veteran Honored For Dash To Save Injured French Civilian bestowed on a militar y policeman (MP) by the Military Police Regiment al Associat ion. Sm it h presented an American f lag f lown over the U.S. Capitol.

The ceremony was held at Pr uiksma’s longtime church, the Manasquan Presby terian Church on Vi rgi n ia Avenue i n Ma na squ a n , hosted by Pastor Jim Dunson and

his congregation.

The mission was so perilous that his lieutenant wouldn’t order anyone to do it, but instead asked for volunteers. He volunteered, and another man, the late Cecil Morris of Un ion Cit y, NJ joi ne d him.

“When I landed, I vowed to myself ‘Walter, don’t get killed, wou nded or capt u red to make you r

mother grieve,’” Pruiksma said. “Three nights later I volunteered for a very dangerous mission!”

T he 24 -m ile m ission was in the dead of night. “ We we nt t h roug h t he front lines into no man’s land, saw bodies of the dead Germans and Americans.” They reached the hospital successfully and t hey ret u r ne d t h roug h e ne my l i ne s a nd b a ck

Secretary Mnuchin Should Recuse From Sears Bankruptcy Secretary Mnuchin was previously a Director at Sears and ow ned valuable i nterests i n Sea rs stock. He also held int e re st s i n Se r it age - a company that owns Sears’ property - and ESL Partners, a hedge fund that has a cont rolling stake in Sears. Fu r ther more, h i s c ol l e g e r o o m m a t e and close friend, Eddie Lamper t, is the for mer Chief Executive Officer and current Chairman of the Board of Sears. These ties create an unavoidable

and clear conf lict of interest between Secretary Mnuchin and Sears. The Senators’ letter follows up on questions that Sen. Menendez pressed Secretary Mnuchin during this nomination hearing.

“During your confirmation hearing in January 2017, you committed to recusing you rself f rom any proceedings before the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) regarding Sears as it relates to your position as a member of the Board

of the PBGC,” wrote the Se nator s. “G ive n you r statement before the Finance Committee, we are concerned that anything short of full recusal will present a significant conf lict of interest and risk bias in any PBGC decisions and actions taken pursuant to Sears defined benefit plans.”

The Senators continued: “As Secretary of the Treasury, you are a member of the PBGC’s Board of Directors. This places you in a position of inf luence

over decision-making at the PBGC related to the possible ter mination of Sea r s’ def i ned benef it pension plans during any bankruptcy proceedings.”

The Senators also asked for financial information on Secretary Mnuchin’s holdings from last year.

S e c r e t a r y M n u c h i n’s 2017 financial disclosure - which was submit ted earlier this year to the Of f ice of Gove r n me nt Ethics (OGE) - has not yet been cer t if ied by OGE.

FREEHOLD – On Saturday, November 17, 2018 at 7:30 p.m., the Neave Trio (Anna Williams, violin; Mikhail Veselov, cello; Eri Nakamura, piano) performs on the Downtown Concert Series, which is committed to bringing high quality musical artists to central New Jersey. The concerts are presented at St. Peter’s Church (33 Throckmorton Street), which provides excellent acoustics in an intimate space.

Neave Trio’s program features the only known piano trios by Debussy, Fauré, and Roussel, which they recorded and recently released on their sophomore album, French Moments (Chandos Records). According to BBC Music Magazine, “The performances balance passion with sensitivity and grace,” while The Strad praises the trio’s “eloquent phrasing and deft control of textures.” Neave’s 2016 debut album, American Moments, was released to critical acclaim on Chandos Records, and features works by Korngold, Foote, and Bernstein.

On November 16, 2018, Neave Trio releases their next album, honoring the music of Astor Piazzolla. Celebrating Piazzolla (Azica Records) includes Las Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas and new arrangements by Leonardo Suárez Paz for piano trio and mezzo-soprano Carla Jablonski.

Since forming in 2010, Neave Trio – violinist Anna Williams, cellist Mikhail Veselov, and pianist Eri Nakamura – has earned enormous praise for its engaging, cutting-edge performances. WQXR explains, “’Neave’ is actually a Gaelic name meaning ‘bright’ and ‘radiant’, both of which certainly apply to this trio’s music making.” The Boston Musical Intelligencer included Neave in its “Best of 2014” and “Best of 2016” roundups, claiming, “their unanimity, communication, variety of touch, and expressive sensibility rate first tier.

Neave has performed at many esteemed concert series and at festivals worldwide, including Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital

Hall, 92nd Street Y, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center/La Jolla Music Society, Rockport Chamber Music Festival, Norfolk and Norwich Chamber Music Series (United Kingdom), and the Samoylov and Rimsky Korsakow Museums’ Chamber Music Series in St. Petersburg (Russia). The trio has also appeared frequently as soloists for Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with orchestras across the country and held residency positions at Brown University, ArtsAhimsa Chamber Music Festival, San Diego State University as the first ever Fisch/Axelrod Trio-¬in-¬Residence, and the Banff Centre (Canada), among many other institutions. In the fall of 2017, the Trio joined the faculty of the Longy School of Music of Bard College as an Alumni Artists, Faculty Ensemble-¬in-¬Residence.

Neave Trio strives to champion new works by living composers and reach wider audiences through innovative concert presentations, regularly collaborating with artists of all mediums. These collaborations include performances with the Blythe Barton Dance Company; projection artist Ryan Brady; the interactive concert series “STEIN2.0,” with composer Amanuel Zarzowski; Klee Musings by acclaimed American composer Augusta Read Thomas, which was premiered by Neave; and an upcoming short film based on the tango music of Astor Piazzolla.

Highlights for the 2018-19 season include residencies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Virginia, and concerts at Chamber Music Corvallis, Valley Classical Concerts, Fort Bragg Center for the Arts Music Series, Northeastern Illinois University’s Jewel Box Series, Rochester Institute of Technology’s Performing Artists Concert Series, Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert Series, Friends of Music of Stamford, and Leaf Peeper Concert Series, among many others.

Monmouth County Officials Seek To Clarify Brookdale Community College Situation FREEHOLD —A recent article in the Asbury Park Press states that Brookdale Community College’s accreditation status is at risk and Monmouth County officials are seeking to clarify any misunderstandings regarding this situation.

“It is important that the public, and especially the Brookdale students, know the facts. The fact is that Brookdale Community College’s accreditation and students’ eligibility for financial aid have not been changed in any way,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone. “Another fact is that the College ranks second in the State and in the top five percent in the country out of more than 1,100 community colleges and is well-equipped to make any necessary adjustments.”

Evaluators from the Middle States Commission, the accrediting body for Brookdale Community College, assessed the College in March 2018. The evaluators only found that there were issues with two of seven areas reviewed every eight years.

“We are fully engaged in addressing the matters cited by Middle States and are confident that our next status report, due in March 2019, will fully satisfy any concerns,” said David Stout, Ph.D., President of Brookdale Community College. “Rest assured, the entire college staff and I are fully committed our students. Our emphasis is on ensuring that Brookdale continues

its mission as a gateway for thousands to obtain a degree, acquire training for career advancement and provide lifelong learning opportunities.”

Since the Commission’s evaluation, Brookdale Community College has worked diligently to implement changes based on the input of the Commission, including an appointment of a permanent president after a national search. In addition, the College will institute ongoing surveys with various constituent groups to assess attitudes and experiences at Brookdale Community College.

According to information on the Middle State’s website, the accrediting body issues, what they refer to as, a warning when it believes the institution has the capacity to make appropriate improvements within a reasonable amount of time and the institution has capacity to sustain itself in the long term.

“The Board of Chosen Freeholders has been fully briefed by Dr. Stout on the steps he and the administration are taking to move the college forward,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry.

“We stand in full support of the Brookdale Community College administration and are proud of the work they do every day.”

6 Surprising Benefits Of Dandelion Weeds

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Dandelion greens might be considered a weed, but this potent plant contains an impressive arsenal of nutritious compounds that you may want to your diet. I’m referring to dandelions as in Taraxacum officinale.

This notoriously bitter weed is packed with protein, minerals, and more vitamin C than spinach. The entire plant is actually edible, though I’ve never eaten the whole thing, just the leaves. Some people literally harvest the yellow flowers before they open and fry them up in a pan with garlic, butter and other seasonings.

Dandelion is very easy to harvest, remember it’s kind of like a weed, it grows everywhere! And interestingly, this inexpensive plant is also sold at health food stores, especially in the produce section where it’s usually near the collard greens and kale. Here are 7 reasons to take dandelion: Aids the digestive system: The plant is a mild diuretic, making you urinate more than normal. It can improve the functioning of the pancreas, stomach, kidneys, and spleen without depleting your body’s potassium stores. Diuretics are known to reduce blood pressure. With dandelions, the two compounds that work in this capacity are chicoric and chlorogenic acid.

Good source of antioxidants: You can thank the dandelion’s bitter taste for its antioxidant properties which clean your blood. If you can get used to more bitter foods (and less sugary ones), then your detox pathways that operate in your liver will thank you with better health.

Can Aid Weight Loss: Though the facts are still forthcoming, there is evidence today

that consuming dandelions can support weight loss by improving your fat-burning rate and metabolism, and simultaneously reducing fat absorption. It’s due to the presence of chlorogenic acid- a compound also found in coffee.

Helps Fight Inflammation: Could eating flowers help you with arthritis? Probably not, but its fun to think that way. I like herbal remedies that reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF alpha.

Dandelion does this very thing, helping you reduce risk for heart attack, cancer and diabetes.

Can help control blood sugar: Two biologically active phytochemicals in dandelions (specifically, the chicoric and chlorogenic acid) show evidence of controlling blood sugar by regulating your pancreas’s insulin production.

Useful as a skin treatment: Applying a leaf and flower extract immediately before or after intense sun exposure seems to reduce overall skin damage. Dandelion-containing creams or poultices reduce skin irritation and may help with acne.

Fresh dandelion greens can be used in fresh salads, sandwiches, smoothies, and teas. If they’re too bitter, make a fifty-fifty mix of dandelions with a subtler green like spinach or Swiss chard.

You could make a tea, or buy a commercially prepared teabag. You could also sauté the dandelion greens with some sweet fruits like pineapple. While dandelions are considered a safe plant for most people, there are a few reported incidences of adverse reactions. People with ragweed allergies are sensitive to dandelions, so please avoid if that’s the case.

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

Robert C. Shea Esq.

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

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

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

The Special Rule for Model Aircraft (P.L. 112-95, Section 336) provides the definition and operating rules for flying a model aircraft. Model aircraft operators that comply with all of these operational requirements during flight do not have to register their UAS with the FAA. Model aircraft operators must follow these rules to fly under this Rule: •the aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or recreational use (once you start earning money from the use of the drone you have removed yourself from this exception); •the aircraft is operated in accordance with a community-based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization; •the aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds unless otherwise certified through a design, construction, inspection, flight test, and operational safety program administered

by a community-based Michael J. Deem organization; •the aircraft is operated in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft; and •when flown 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.

LONG BRANCH – Monmouth Medical Center (MMC), an RWJBarnabas Health facility, recently held a dedication ceremony to honor and memorialize the leadership legacy of long-time benefactor, the late Judith W. Dawkins. The dedication of The Judith W. Dawkins Executive Board Room commemorates her legacy as a tireless advocate and leader in promoting and advancing women’s health services.

“Judi spent over two decades, and countless hours – many of which took place in that board room – making decisions that helped lead the path to success for Monmouth Medical Center,” said her husband Pete Dawkins. “It’s only fitting, therefore, that the Executive Board Room should bear her name. Our hope is that Judi’s spirit of advocacy and leadership will live on.

And that it will continue to inspire others to share that vision, and make decisions which truly help those in our communities.”

The new Executive Board Room will feature a striking portrait of Judi, a memorial plaque that celebrates her service, and increased seating.

“Judi always wanted to make sure that everyone could have a seat at the table,” added Pete. “She encouraged a spirit where ideas were openly exchanged so that the needs of the community would be met in the best way possible.”

Doing everything possible to make sure the community’s health care needs were being met, and advancing women’s health care services overall, were the primary focus of Judi’s more than 20 years of service at MMC. To ensure that this focus would live on, the Dawkins Family generously made a $4 million transformational leadership gift to support its Women’s Services program.

In honor of Judi, MMC named the program The Judith W. Dawkins Women’s Health Program.

Services offered through this Women’s Health Program include: primary care and health maintenance for women, obstetrics, breast health, cancer prevention, autoimmune disease care, nutrition and sports medicine, gynecology, cardiovascular

health, mental health, radiology, as well as assembling leading researchers, educators and clinicians.

“Through the Dawkins Family’s generous donation, we are able to honor Judi’s vision and legacy in the best possible way by being able to grow our women’s health services and further our commitment to women and the community,” said Bill Arnold, President and CEO of Monmouth Medical Center.

“Judi Dawkins was passionate about helping others and addressing all of the unique challenges commonly faced by women, ”said Barry H. Ostrowsky, President and Chief Executive Officer of RWJBarnabas Health.

“I had the great pleasure of getting to know Judi through her tireless work on the Board, where she helped make decisions that have led to success for the Women’s Health Program at Monmouth Medical Center and I am honored to be here today to commemorate her legacy.”

The Women’s Health Program in Judi’s name will expand the current array of highly specialized services, providing comprehensive community-based services to women at any age.

“By building on the shared insights and synergies of MMC’s medical staff and administration”, Pete said, “the program will look to continually expand the frontier of women’s care.”

Judi had a lasting influence on MMC during her 20+ years of service as a trustee, board chair, nominating chair and leader. Her legacy at MMC extends to almost every area of the institution. Especially noteworthy was her time as chair of the MMC Foundation’s board from 2000 to 2003, where she helped launch the “Redefining Health Care Capital Campaign.” The campaign included oversight of $15 million in upgrades for the Leon Hess Cancer Center and the expansion of the Jacqueline M. Wilentz Comprehensive Breast Center.

“This gift celebrates Judi’s quest to empower women to lead stronger, healthier lives,” said Pete. “I can’t think of a more fitting way to honor my wonderful wife, and her incredible legacy of leadership and helping others.”

County Clerk Advisory About Pre-Filled Vote

By Mail Applications

FREEHOLD – Many residents across the state, and in Monmouth County, are receiving pre-filled Vote by Mail applications at their doorsteps or in their mailboxes. The applications contain voter information including name and address. This situation has led many to question why they received these applications, how their information was obtained, and who sent the applications to them.

“We have received many calls and inquires in our office and have seen many posts on social media by residents concerned about these applications,” said Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon. “Some have even questioned whether the County Clerk’s Office sent them.”

These mailings and hand delivered applications are from political candidates and political action organizations. They are not being delivered to voters from County Clerks.

This type of political campaign effort is not a new phenomenon. Political campaigns, organizations, and candidates have been doing this type of voter outreach campaign for years.

Voter data is obtained from the Statewide Voter Registration System, which is under the direction of the New Jersey Division of Elections. Certain voter data, like name and address, is considered to be an open public record according to New Jersey law.

Voters who receive this type of pre-filled Vote by Mail application can choose to discard it, or to sign the application and submit it to the County Clerk’s Office in order to obtain a Mail in Ballot for the November general election. If the application is properly completed, and the signature on the application matches the voter signature on file in the Statewide Voter Registration System, the Mail in Ballot will be issued.

Note that when completing the application, a voter has the option of checking the box at the top of the application for one election or for all future elections.

Voters who have questions about this or any other election related matter, may contact the County Clerk’s Elections Office at 732431-7790.

Rise Against Hunger Packing Event

MANASQUAN – For Samarah Joacchim, a 7th-grader in Haiti, school means life and hope for a future. But not just because of the education she will get there. For Samarah and millions of children around the world, attending school also means she will eat that day.

No gift is too small--every donation makes a difference in the lives of children and families around the world.

The First Baptist Church of Manasquan is located at 47 South Street in Manasquan.

Arneystown-Hornerstown Bridge In Upper Freehold Is Open UPPER FR EEHOLD –T he A r neystown-Hornerstown Bridge (U-45) over Crosswicks Creek reopened to traffic on Oct. 18 after three years of closure.

The bridge was replaced due to the deterioration of the original wooden substructure, built in 1958. The new concrete bridge retains two lanes of traffic with upgraded guide rail, drainage and approach roadways.

County Clerk Reminds Residents To Apply For Passports Well In Advance

FREEHOLD – Although a cold winter is upon us in Monmouth County, now is the time to plan for spring travel. With spring break just a few months away, County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon reminds everyone to check their passports.

“It’s time to apply for or renew your passport, if you are planning spring travel out of the country. Many countries require six months validity on a U.S. passport, so it is critical to check the expiration date in advance if you already have a passport,” said Hanlon, who is in charge of the passport offices in Neptune and Freehold.

Spring break is one of the most popular times of year to travel. By applying for a passport now, travelers will save themselves the aggravation of rushing to get a passport, and will also save money by not having to expedite service.

In addition, to take advantage of travel deals, it is essential to have a valid passport. Hanlon reminds residents that some airlines require a valid passport number when booking international fl ights.

Passport applications are accepted at the County Clerk’s two Passport Offices in both Freehold, located in the Market

Yard (south of Main Street), and Neptune, at 3544 Route 66. Passport services are also available at the Mobile County Connection at the Monmouth Mall, located on the upper level of the Monmouth Mall, adjacent to Boscov’s.

To obtain a passport, it is necessary to have a certified birth certificate with a raised seal, social security number, a passport photo 2x2 inches in size, and current identification such as a driver’s license or government identification.

Passport photos are available for a fee of $10 at both locations.

Parents who are making a passport application for a child under the age of 16 are required to appear together or submit additional documentation.

“Make sure to contact the Passport Offi ce prior to appearing at a County passport office to be sure that you have the proper documentation and payments,” said Hanlon.

For more information go to the County Clerk’s webpage at monmouthcountyclerk.com, contact the Freehold passport office at 732-431-7324, or Neptune at 732-303-2828.

Balance and Physical Therapy

B

By: Jennifer Vadas, DPT, Jackson Facility Manager

alance plays a key role in the vast majority of typical activities we perform throughout our day. Whether it is reaching for a dish, standing while talking to a neighbor, or swinging a golf club; the importance of maintaining the highest functional level of balance cannot be understated.

Balance tends to decline as we age; which puts older adults at an increased risk for falls, and subsequent injury. However, difficulties with varying levels of balance can affect people at all ages. Impairments in balance can often be a secondary effect of many other conditions, including stroke, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and neuropathy; just to name a few.

There are multiple systems of the body that impact balance; they include the visual, somatosensory, vestibular, and musculoskeletal systems. The visual system plays a role in balance by allowing you to see any obstacles in your path, and react accordingly. The brain also receives visual signals to help perceive how the body is oriented in regards to its surroundings. The somatosensory system includes tactile sensation (touch), and proprioception (positional awareness).

Tactile sensation in our feet allows us to feel them on the ground below us. This allows us to be aware of any changes in the surface we are walking on. Our proprioceptive system allows us to understand the position of our joints, this is particularly important in our ankles in order to be aware of any postural sway and react accordingly to correct balance.

The vestibular system is located in the inner ear; it functions in balance by detecting movements of the head. This allows for clear vision with motion, and maintaining upright positioning. The musculoskeletal system involves our muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments. It is important to maintain good flexibility and strength in our muscles; as they help to stabilize in balance tasks.

If muscles are overly tight, they will be unable

to allow for motion required to move correctly, or to compensate if you are losing your balance.

Maintaining good muscular strength is important throughout the body. Our postural muscles (i.e. those in the shoulder, back, and abdominals) help to sustain optimal positioning for good balance.

Lower extremity strength, from the hips down to the ankles, is important to preserve stability in both static (standing still) and dynamic (moving) tasks. Should one of these systems become compromised, it is important that the remaining function at the highest possible level to overcome that deficit.

Physical therapy can be utilized to rehabilitate areas that have been weakened or injured and to increase the functional level of the others. For example, in a patient with visual impairments, physical therapy can be utilized to improve the function of the vestibular system; as well as increase muscular strength and flexibility. Physical therapy allows you to challenge your balance and perform activities that are difficult, while in a safe setting with professionals who can properly cue you for methods to better perform these activities. Your therapist will perform a comprehensive examination to determine where your particular deficits lie, and will then establish a program focusing on your individual needs. Programs tend to encompass all areas that impact balance; including stretching muscles that are overly tight, strengthening those that are weak, using varied surfaces/directions of movement, performing tasks with eyes closed, and decreasing base of support. There is also a focus on incorporating functional tasks into therapy treatments. A common complaint we hear from people who are coming to therapy for balance is they find they have increased difficulty maintaining their balance while walking in crowds, or in grocery stores when trying to look for objects. Therapy will mimic these scenarios by providing patient

with perturbations (similar to being jostled in a crowd), and teaching appropriate reaction strategies.

Another common exercise is having a patient walk while both nodding and turning their heads, similar to what we do in a grocery store to look for the box of cereal we want while still moving down the aisle. These are just a few examples of the many activities a patient may perform in therapy as part of a balance training program.

It is extremely important to feel safe and confident with functional mobility to uphold a high quality of life. Having feelings of limitations in balance will decrease the possibility of this. Fortunately, there are treatment options available to improve balance and mobility, to uphold your personal lifestyle goals.

JENNIFER VADAS, DPT Jennifer graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Rider University in 2006. She continued at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ in Stratford; where she received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2009.

Since graduating in 2009, Jen’s primary professional focus has been in the outpatient setting; though she also has experience in acute care and subacute rehabilitation. Jen’s areas of interest include geriatrics, non-operative and post-surgical rehab, and balance impairments. She has taken continuing education courses in vestibular rehabilitation. Jen strives to provide each patient with individualized care, focusing on their primary concerns and goals.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of OCT 27 - NOV 2

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let distractions develop into a debate. Focus your attention on your own important projects in the week ahead despite interruptions and attention-seeking companions. Enjoy being a team leader, not just a player.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be as flexible as a pretzel but use a light hand with the salt. An idea that seems worthwhile may seem impractical by the end of the week. Take time to re-evaluate your situation and adapt long-term objectives as necessary.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can never stand in the same river twice. The more you try to stop progress the more likely it will rush past you this week. Focus your efforts on reaching tangible, realistic goals rather than floating away on flights of fancy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):Apositive attitude uplifts relationships. While romantic moments may not be perfect, you’ll be in far too good of a mood in the week to come to notice the imperfections. Write down impressive ideas, lest they be lost forever.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Test the waters one toe at a time. Experiment only if it is expedient.

Find common ground with others as you share new and exciting experiences in the week ahead. Take good advice to heart as it may provide the answers you need.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are in your comfort zone when you think outside the box and approach problems from an unorthodox perspective.

There’s no obstacle you can’t conquer if you simply think the problem though or share your ideas with others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A rolling stone gathers no moss. Keep the moss away by pursuing unique and creative activities this week. You may be able to turn an imaginative idea into a profitable enterprise if you can avoid being waylaid by interruptions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Putting out minimum effort will yield huge rewards. Take advantage of any inside information you hear about by acting on it right away. You can get ahead this week by simply keeping your eyes and ears open for valuable information.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take advantage of times when life is good, and people are kind.

Family members appreciate your wisdom and may come to you for advice this week. Your insights may encourage others to take the most appropriate steps.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make sure everyone gets their fair share in the week to come.

Remain equitable when dividing the spoils and you’ll keep everyone happy. A new study or interest can prompt you to change your long-term goals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The week ahead may offer you many opportunities to mend fences and engage in heartfelt apologies. Rethink how you’re dealing with personal or financial situation as that could offer a clue as how to set things right.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The more the merrier is your motto. A close friend or loved one may require your support to see their plans through.

Offer your services to the well-deserving in the week ahead and tag along for the ride whenever possible.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Keep Summer Memories Alive With An Ice Cream Version Of An Old Soda Shop Favorite

By Wolfgang Puck WHITE CHOCOLATE MALTED MILK ICE CREAM Makes about 1 1/2 quarts (1.5 L) 2 cups (500 mL) whole milk 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream 8 large egg yolks 10 ounces (300 g) good-quality white chocolate, broken or cut into small chunks 1/2 cup (125 mL) malted milk powder Combine the milk and cream in a large, heavy saucepan. Place the pan over medium-high heat and, as soon as the liquid comes to a boil, remove the pan from the heat.

Put the egg yolks in a large stainless-steel mixing bowl and stir them briskly with a wire whisk until smooth. While whisking the yolks continuously and briskly, slowly and carefully pour in the hot milk-cream mixture. Once all the milk and cream have been incorporated, return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally

and making sure that the whisk makes contact with the bottom and sides of the pan, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.

Put the white chocolate in a microwave-proof bowl. Cover the bowl with a paper towel, put it in the microwave, and cook for 30 seconds.

Remove the bowl, and stir the mixture. Repeat the process one to three times more, just until the chocolate is smoothly melted.

Whisk the melted chocolate into the hot ice cream mixture. Pour 1 cup (250 mL) of the liquid into a heatproof measuring cup, sprinkle in the malted milk powder, and stir until it is completely dissolved. Return the malted mixture to the saucepan, and stir well.

Pour the mixture through a fi ne-meshed strainer into a large heatproof mixing bowl.

Set the bowl inside a larger bowl containing ice and water and chill it, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is completely cooled.

Transfer the mixture to an ice cream machine, and freeze it following the manufacturer’s directions.
