—Photos by Chris Lundy The chainsaw carver had his work for sale during last year’s fair. By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Fair has been a mainstay for more than seven decades, but there are still new things to see and do. There is a balancing act between bringing new things in to keep it fresh, and maintain favorites that people want to see, said fair manager Jeff Adams.
The same ride vendor will return this year.
“There are a couple of entertainers that people always want to see, like the carvers and the racers,” he said. Speaking of balancing acts, a new show will be put on by a troupe doing high-wire walks, trapeze, and catapulting around. The butterfly encounter will be another new feature. There will be a place for people to go inside,
feed butterflies, and get up close to them. This encounter is only open during daylight hours, as the butterflies don’t eat after dark. The Curiosity Zone is an inflatable planetarium that will put on shows. There will be a different pony ride vendor. Instead of the ponies being led around a carousel, they will be (Fair - See Page 18)
County Joins Suit Against Opioid Manufacturers By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – Ocean County is joining litigation against opioid manufacturers and marketers. The Board of Chosen Freeholders adopted a resolution that authorized Sanders Phillips Grossman, Garden City, New York, to file a complaint joining 200 other complainants in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation. The complainants were originally all political subdivisions but now include individuals, consumers, hospitals, third-party payers and Native American tribes.
The complaints allege companies improperly marketed and inappropriately distributed various prescribed opiates in cities, states and towns across the country. “While we have implemented programs through our Prosecutor’s Office and our Corrections Department and Juvenile Services and a host of other agencies to help our residents suffering from addiction, this action is another step we are taking in the fight against drug overdoses,” Ocean County

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A long-sought widening of Route 9 is slated to begin in the spring of 2022. It aims to alleviate congestion in several difficult intersections. The plan encompasses a length of the state highway starting just north of Indian Head Road in Toms River to just beyond 2nd Street in Lakewood. The project is in the final design phase now, and letters are expected to go out in the fall to property owners for the state to acquire some property to make the road changes. For the most part, the state would be buying a sliver of land in order to widen it, said officials from Arora and Associates, the consulting engineers on the project. In some cases, entire lots would need to be purchased in order to put in stormwater retention basins. The project is expected to cost $50 million, said David Hutchinson, project manager with Arora, who gave a presentation recently in Lakewood. Any time a lane has to be closed for construction, it will be done at night, according to paperwork provided by the State Department of Transportation. It is expected to be finished in 2024. Generally speaking, the project will be adding a two traffic signals in Lakewood, and address safety and traffic issues by adding turn lanes in key spots. There will also be milling and paving work done. Wider sidewalks compliant with the Americans (Route 9 - See Page 4)

Continued From Page 1 with Disabilities Act would also be installed. Access points to and from properties on Route 9 would be improved to be made safer. “We expect reductions in travel time,” Hutchinson said. There is a prediction of a decrease in travel times from 15 percent to 45 percent during peak hours. There are a lot of intersections where the traffic pattern won’t change, such as on Cox Cro Road. However, throughout Route 9 there would be improvements in terms of such things as paving, drainage, curbs and sidewalks. Eight intersections would be widened, for example. There will also be two miles of sidewalks added. The plans are still in the final design stage, and as it stands now, these are some of the changes proposed: Whitty Road Route 9 northbound would be widened for the existing designated right turn lane onto Whitty Road. Southbound Route 9 would be widened for the existing left turn lane onto Whitty Road. Whitty Road’s westbound lane would be split into left and right turn lanes. Church Road On northbound Route 9, there would be a right turn only lane added for drivers going east on Church Road. On southbound Route 9, there would be a left turn only lane added for drivers going east on Church Road. On Church Road, drivers heading west would have two lanes: a left turn only lane and a right turn only lane. Locust/Honey Locust Locust Street (which links Route 70 to Route 9, passing the bowling alley) would be widened near the intersection with Route 9. One lane would go through and left. The other would go right (north on 9). Honey Locust street, which meets Route 9 from the other direction, would be widened as well. A right turn only lane for people going south on 9 would be added. Chestnut Street Westbound on Chestnut would become three lanes: left, straight, and right. Eastbound on Chestnut would become three lanes: left, straight, and right. Chateau/Broadway There would be significant changes near this area, where the big “Center of Town” shopping center is (formerly Chateau Grand and Winkelmann’s Restaurant). Chateau Drive would be realigned with a little curve to the south, so that it can meet Broadway at a new traffic signal there. Chateau would have a left turn only lane at the intersection. So would Broadway. Route 9 would be widened to have left turn only lanes for drivers going north and south. Oak Street Oak Street would get a new traffic signal. Northbound Route 9 would be widened into three lanes: left, through, and right. Southbound Route 9 would be widened to add a left turn only lane. Oak Street westbound would have two lanes: right turn only, and left/through. Just north of that, there is an intersection that is called River Avenue (even though Route 9 is also called River Avenue). That intersection
would have left and right turn lanes coming out of the development. Again, just north of that is Hadassah Lane. There would be a left turn only lane from Route 9 north into that development. Spruce Street Left turn lanes would be added to Route 9 in both directions, so that drivers can make lefts onto Spruce from the north or south. Spruce is just south of the hospital. Pine Street/James Street Pine Street would be realigned to meet James Street at a safer angle. James Street would get a designated left turn lane onto Route 9 north. Hurley Avenue/Central Avenue This is the intersection by the lakes. The southbound left turn lane would be eliminated. Instead, there would be a second northbound lane. The two remaining southbound lanes would be one through lane and one right turn only onto Central. Where Central and South Lake Drive meet, there would also be changes. Driving west on Central, drivers can make a right onto South Lake. If you are driving on South Lake, you will only be able to make a right onto Central. You won’t be able to merge onto Central and then head to 9. Similarly, people on Caranetta Drive will only be able to make right turns onto Central. They won’t be able to go left on Central. Route 88 On Route 9, the southbound left turning lane leading to Route 88 would be extended by 400 feet. 1st Street A concrete island would be installed on Route 9 at the intersection with 1st Street that would prevent anyone from making left turns onto Route 9 from either direction. Reception Despite people complaining about Route 9 for decades, these plans were presented at a meeting in the Lakewood Municipal Building which was attended by about a dozen people. Those who did attend said it was a long time coming. “We’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” said Larry Grone, owner of Grone’s Wrecker and Recovery, on Route 9. He said that there is a very high accident rate, especially drivers hitting pedestrians, and he hoped that these changes would help. Bill Braden, chairman of the Ocean County Transportation Advisory Board, said he liked the changes overall. He still had some suggestions to make, and the representatives at the meeting were receptive to his ideas, such as looking at how some intersections might not give enough turn radius for big tractor trailers. “There’s not only heavy traffic, but there’s heavy trucks,” so the road must be reinforced to give it a long lifespan, he said. For years, he had suggested that the state buy up land for future expansion of Route 9, but the suggestion fell on deaf ears, he said. Now, the land is more expensive. The state should buy up some land in places like Stafford where there will be more growth in the future, and the land prices haven’t boomed yet, he said. Future Widening A spokesman with the DOT said there is another project in a very early stage right now. This project would look at further widening and how to do it.

Opioid:
Continued From Page 1 Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines said. “We want to send a clear message that it’s time for everyone to get on board and work to solve this issue including those companies that manufacture and those who market these drugs.” Ocean County lost 187 residents to drug overdose deaths last year. From 1999 to 2014, more than 165,000 persons have died from opioid overdoses nationwide, according to court filings. In 2013, almost 2 million persons abused or were dependent on prescribed opiates. The county cited the Legal Executive Institute, which said the common allegations in the consolidate cases are: manufacturers of prescription opioid medications overstated the benefits and downplayed the risks of the use of their opioids and aggressively marketed (directly and through key opinion leaders) these drugs to physicians; and/or distributors failed to monitor, detect, investigate, refuse, and report suspicious orders of prescription opiates. “We are joining several other counties in New Jersey along with the state itself in this litigation,” Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director John P. Kelly said. He serves as Director of Law and Public Safety. “The number of litigants has ballooned to well over 1,000 and continues to grow. This action is about saving lives. Ocean County has experienced far too many deaths from drug overdoses. This is another avenue we are taking to remedy this.” Haines added that Ocean County absolutely wants to see those numbers decrease. Should the litigation prove successful, she would like
The Berkeley Times, July 6, 2019, Page 5 to see the county use a portion of the settlement go toward rehabilitation, including extending times people are in rehab. The New York law firm will take a percentage of any winnings as payment, so there are no out-of-pocket costs to the county. “Drug addiction does not go away overnight and those who are sick need far more time in treatment than currently provided,” Haines said. The named defendants include: Actavis, Allergan, Cephalon, Endo, Janssen, Johnson & Johnson, Purdue Pharma, Teva, Watson, AmerisouceBergen, McKesson Corp., and Cardinal Health, all of which allegedly distributed more than 80 percent of the opiates involved. The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office said the county is looking into the lawsuit but can’t offer further comment at this time.

Getting to the Core of Lower Back Pain By: Katie Groome, PTA
WHAT IS A “CORE?” Your abdominals or “core” as some people like to call them are actually a group of muscles known as the rectus abdominis, external and internal obliques, transverse abdominis, multifidi, diaphragm, and pelvic floor muscles. The easiest way to think of your “core” is to think of a box: the roof is the diaphragm, the walls are multifidi and transverse abdominis and the floor is the pelvic floor muscles. WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT? Without having a strong base of support or “core,” the body must rely more heavily on other muscles due to imbalances. For this reason these muscles are often known as your stabilizers as they allow the rest of your body to move properly. Simple everyday activities such as walking, lifting, bending over to tie your shoes or playing sports may become painful to complete. I HAVE A SIX PACK SO DOESN’T THAT MEAN I HAVE A STRONG CORE? Not exactly. A six pack looks aesthetically pleasing, however, unless you train your inner abdominal muscles, it is only a matter of time before you end up with an injury; in fact the six pack does not involve the entire “core” it is mostly comprised of the rectus abdominis. The rectus is unable to support itself without assistance from other muscles located in your abdominal cavity. It can even compress your spine and cause pain if over worked. I SUFFER FROM BACK PAIN, CAN I STILL WORK ON MY CORE? Yes, you can. If you suffer from back pain, your doctor may recommend you see a physical
therapist. Physical therapists are licensed professionals who are medically trained to help patients decrease pain, improve strength, increase mobility, and improve function. A physical therapist can evaluate your symptoms and design a program for you, which will allow you to strengthen your “core” without causing back pain, while preventing injury. I WANT TO START A CORE EXERCISE PROGRAM, BUT I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START? It is recommended that you consult a professional before beginning any exercise program. If you would like to strengthen your “core” or inner abdominal stabilizers, let’s first start with the basics by strengthening two important muscles: the transverse abdominis (TA) and diaphragm. Lying down on your back with your knees bent, gently tighten your stomach in towards your belly button. Hold for 5 seconds without holding your breath. You can repeat this 10 times. This exercise isn’t easy however it is extremely important as these muscles are being contracted when we lift or move. You should be able to hold a conversation and contract your abdomen at the same time. Another exercise is called diaphragmatic breathing. As with the exercise mentioned above it is designed to strengthen your inner stabilizers. To start the exercise you can either lie down or sit upright in a chair with your feet planted firmly on the floor. Place one hand on your abdomen and the other on your chest. Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose and allow your stomach to rise, then blow the air out of your mouth as if you are blowing out a candle. Do NOT hold your breath. Diaphragmatic breathing is very relaxing, and
easy to complete with practice. In conclusion, back pain can result from weakness of the abdominals and back muscles. This weakness causes the back to work harder which results in back pain. As a result of “core” strengthening, the back is able to increase its flexibility which it needs to support the spine.

Sounds Of Summer Concert Schedule And More From The Desk Of
The Mayor - By Berkeley Mayor
Carmen F. Amato, Jr. I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Independence Day weekend. It’s important as we gather with family and friends to BBQ this summer, we take a moment to keep in mind our nation’s veterans and those currently
serving in the Armed Forces. We must remain vigilant in remembering those brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom. May God continue to bless them and their families.
The Sounds of Summer Concert Series Continues On July 10 The Sounds of Summer Concert Series will continue THIS Wednesday, July 10 with a night with two headliners. Starting the evening at 6 p.m., we will feature Atlantic City Headliner Gerard Esposito, who will give you a Centennial Celebration of the music of the Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra, along with the music of Paul Anka, Bobby Darin
to see you at the show! New Jersey Veterans’ Benefits Guide Available Berkeley Township is home to one of the largest veteran populations in the state of New Jersey. Many veterans may not be aware of certain benefits, entitlements and services they may be entitled to. The New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs have assembled a guide which is full of this valuable information. I have made the New Jersey
and more. The crowd will be entertained by the songs of these iconic figures. From Vegas to Broadway, Gerard can do it all. The second act of the evening will be The Duprees, one of the alltime favorite golden oldies recording groups. Please come on out for a great night of entertainment and don’t forget to bring a chair.

I am extremely grateful for all of our military service personnel and our veterans who have served our country. I want to make sure every veteran is aware and receiving the benefits and services they are entitled to.
Passage Of Superstorm Sandy Foreclosure Assistance Bill Praised CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
TRENTON – Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove (all R-9th) praised the final passage of legislation they sponsor to extend the mortgage forbearance and foreclosure assistance pro-
gram for Superstorm Sandy victims. The deadline for reauthorization was set for July 1, which meant that without legislative action, the program would have expired. As the deadline drew near, Connors, Rumpf and Gove wrote a letter urging
Legislative leaders to immediately post A-5096 and S-3582 for a vote, stressing the urgent need to ensure that Superstorm Sandy victims would continue receiving this critical form of assistance. The Senate passed the Senate version of their bill, S-3582, on June 20. The identical Assembly version of the bill passed the Assembly on March 25. The Delegation has worked in conjunction with representatives of the New Jersey Organizing Project (NJOP) to advocate for this legislation, as well as a number of other ef-
forts to aid Superstorm Sandy victims. “As representatives of an area that was among the hardest hit by Sandy, we continue to work closely with constituents who are still coping with the catastrophic damage caused by the storm. Therefore, we completely understand how critical the mortgage forbearance and foreclosure assistance program is to Sandy victims, as well as to the overall rebuilding and recovery process.
“Our ultimate goal is to ensure everyone who was impacted by the storm regains a sense of normalcy in their lives. This doesn’t just mean living in your home again - it also means putting an end to the constant battles with mortgage companies, insurance companies, contractors, and the bureaucracy as a whole. “Far too many Sandy victims are still in the process of putting the pieces of their lives back together. They shouldn’t have to worry if the
state is going to let a program they rely on, or may need in the immediate future, expire due to bureaucratic inaction. Certainly, they deserve better, and that’s why our Delegation co-sponsored this legislation to extend the program and represent the best interests of the constituents we serve.” The legislation, A-5096/S-3582, has passed both houses of the Legislature and now heads to the Governor’s desk for final consideration

5 Natural Ways To Treat A Diaper Rash
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Diaper rashes generate misery and sleepless nights for all involved! When my children were babies, I would prioritize this condition so that we could all sleep in peace. I would mix different things like essential oils or clay into the commercial creams, working tirelessly to find the perfect, soothing balm for my children. A rash can be caused by a pathogen like yeast/fungus or bacterial organisms. Sometimes the rash can result from sensitivities to fragrances, alcohol and artificial chemicals found in diapers or wet wipes. In fact, some popular diaper rash balms happen to contain petrolatum, but unfortunately, is could be contaminated with toxic chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Baby powder is no longer recommended due to the lung-related health issues that talcum powder is now associated with. What’s a parent to do?! Today I will share 5 natural ways to treat a rash: 1. Use as few chemicals as possible. There are hundreds of potentially harmful chemicals in some baby products, even those advertised as “gentle.” As for laundry detergents, use unscented versions. You might also look for preservative or chlorine-free disposable diapers. Some parents opt to protect the environment and their baby all at once by using cloth (washable) diapers. As for cleaning up, there are unscented, alcohol-free baby wipes too! 2. Make homemade cream. Here’s a DIY cream you can try. Mix together two table-
spoons shea butter, one tablespoon coconut oil, two tablespoons zinc oxide, 2 teaspoons bentonite clay and 3 drops each of lavender, frankincense and Roman chamomile essential oil. Combine this mixture well and apply to baby’s diaper rash twice daily. 3. Try Epsom Salts. Also known as magnesium sulfate, there are many anecdotal reports of this soothing a rash within minutes. Just pour about one cup of epsom salt into a tub of lukewarm water and let your child soak for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. This is not a daily thing, just do it once, or twice during the week because the magnesium is absorbed into your baby’s body transdermally. 4. Apply Breast Milk. If you’re nursing your baby, then this tip could be a fast, easy way to soothe a rash. Express some milk and apply directly to the diaper rash. It’s strange, I know! Breast milk is high in vitamin D, and other healing compounds, and according to one study, it performed as well as 1% hydrocortisone cream. 5. Baking Soda Soothes. Combine 1 tablespoon baking soda with 3 tablespoons cool water and stir it in a bowl. It should make a thin paste which you can use directly on the skin. You may need to adjust the amounts to make it the consistency that you want. Apply to skin and let it settle on and ‘dry’ for about 5 minutes. Do not rub it off aggressively, but rather rinse it very gently with cool water. Baking soda change the painful acidic pH, and makes its more alkaline, thus easing the pain. If these tips don’t help your baby, please seek the advice of your local pediatrician.

Fair:
Continued From Page 1 free to walk around a specific area. The 4-H is of course still a very large part of the fair. This time, they are trying to have guests be more hands-on, with more doing than looking, he said. For example, the ATV club will show you how to work on an ATV. The goal is to get more people interested in joining once they get a taste of some of the cool things that kids are doing. This will be under one large tent instead of several tents. A general schedule of events has been published online: Wednesday, July 10, 5-11 p.m. • Simply Three Band (locals playing classic rock) • 6 p.m.: Toms River K-9 demonstration Thursday, July 11, 5-11 p.m. • $18 wristbands for unlimited rides • Dr. Steven Michaels (comedy hypnosis, from Ocean County) • Chariot Riders Therapeutic Horse Riding Demo

The carnival-style food and games will also be throughout the ride area. There will also be new food trucks on site. Location: Robert J. Miller Airpark, Route 530 in Berkeley. “The county goes out of their way to accommodate us there,” Adams said. Cost: Admission is $8. Children under 10 are free. Parking is free. For more information, visit OceanCountyFair.com. Fair History The fair is in its 72nd year. It started at the Ocean County Park in Lakewood, but outgrew it in the 1980s. It was then relocated to Berkeley Township where it resides today. It used to be an agricultural show, for local farmers to show off their crops, Adams said. However, as farming gave way to housing and commercial development, there are very few farms left locally. The 4-H has taken on the agricultural aspect of the fair, showing off what families have grown and nurtured.

Inside The Law Who is Josh Haines?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Josh Haines was injured in a car crash. His medical treatment left him with more than $25,000 in unpaid medical bills. He sued the person who caused the crash for the cost of his medical treatment. In March 2019, the NJ Supreme Court decided his case. The court ruled that car accident victims have to pay their own medical bills, even if they didn’t cause the accident. The Court ruled that ANY person whose auto policy has less than the “standard” medical benefits limit has to pay for their medical treatment up to $250,000. The court’s ruling has a devastating impact on low-income people who cannot afford to buy auto policies with higher coverage limits. If you are involved in an auto accident, you could be stuck with thousands of dollars in medical expenses, leading to credit problems, bankruptcy, or worse. The insurance industry is thrilled about this decision. And don’t think you are safe if you have health insurance. If your private health insurer pays your medical
bills and you obtain a recovery for your injuries then there is a substantial likelihood Michael J. Deem that you will have to reimburse your health insurer with the monies you received from your award or settlement. Too often this reimbursement scheme leaves the victim with nothing. The NJ Assembly and Senate have passed a bill to fix the Haines decision. It is on Gov. Murphy’s desk. All he has to do is sign it. PLEASE HELP. Call Governor Murphy now at 609-292-6000. CALL GOV. MURPHY Tell the representative who answers the telephone: I AM CALLING TO URGE GOVERNOR MURPHY TO SIGN THE BILL TO FIX HAINES http://starledger.nj.newsmemory.com/ ?publink=087cad7f9 www.whoisjoshhaines.com.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Caught In The Middle? Dear Joel I recently made my son a high school graduation party. My problem is that I refused to allow my ex-husband to join us in the restaurant. My son has been so angry with me that he hardly communicates. I am heartbroken and have been asking myself if I did the wrong thing. Answer: This isn’t a right or wrong story. You made the party and you paid for it. My hunch is that your son has been exposed to this for a long time. His anger may have peaked as he reached this milestone. Your ex could have made him a separate dinner and had his own
guests or invited your son by himself. St op fe el i ng guilty because it is truly worthless. You made an adult decision and often times being an adult is unpleasant. Your son is sensing your guilt and the two of you are suffering for it...It is time for you to graduate to a healthier emotional self. The two of you will enjoy the new you.

Holiday City At Berkeley EMS: History Of Emergency Medical Service System
By Phyllis Brown BERKELEY – I found that how the EMS system came to be was very interesting so I thought you might too. Because of the early use of motor vehicles, volunteer ambulances and people were organized and trained and sent overseas in WWI and WWII to provide care and get wounded to doctors and nurses. The military further trained special corpsmen to provide care in the field. In the Korean War they evolved into field medics, rapid helicopter evacuation and mobile surgical units. Advances were made in trauma care during the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. However, in 1960 the care at home had not advanced at the same rate. In some places there were well staffed and well equipped ambulances or a hospital based staff of interns and using prehistoric equipment ambulances and yet in many cases emergency service was provided by the local funeral home using a hearse that could be converted to carry a cot. Police or fire departments with converted station wagons to carry a cot, a first aid kit and personal with basic first aid training were EMS in other places and other places had nothing for emergencies. In areas with a commercial ambulance, the personal usually had little training and were there primarily to transport. “The White Paper” published in 1966, actually called Accidental Death and Disability: The Neglected Disease of Modern Society was the beginning of modern EMS. As a result, congress passed The Health and Safety Act of 1966, mandating NHTSA (the National Highway & Transportation
Safety Assoc.) of DOT (Dept. of Transportation) and the Dept. of Human Services to create funding for sources and programs to improve the prehospital care system. That is why EMS is federal and under DOT and not the Dept. of Health. Interesting, right? The HCB First Aid Squad (Squad 20) was started in 1974 with approximately 68 members and this was our ambulance. The Squad worked 24/7 in 24 hour shifts. In the winter they slept on cots at the squad house. They eventually had two ambulances with four members on each. When we bought more modern ambulances we gave this one to Silverton to start a First Aid Squad. They still have it at their squad house. When I started on the Squad we had so few members that we could only provide 3-4 people on two ambulances, 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Now we do not work weekends. Now, some of us work more than one shift and struggle to keep two ambulances running on all shifts. The Heights and Silver Ridge squads are having the same trouble. We need more help to keep us going. HCBEMS services over 11,000 homes. Some of you still work and some are not physically or emotionally able to volunteer for this sort of work but some of you who can, might want to see what 35 volunteers find so rewarding. Find something to fill one day a week. Volunteer. HCBEMS needs volunteers. No experience necessary. You’ll be CPR certified and we train. I say, “Want to see the world, join the navy. Want to see some action, join HCBEMS at 100 Port Royal Drive.” Please stay healthy & safe.

Summer Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days Set
OCEAN COU NTY – The summer is a great time to dispose of old paint, pesticides and a host of other household chemicals that may be collecting in closets, garages and basements. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management is again scheduling a series of Household Hazardous Waste collection days later this summer. “This is the perfect opportunity to clean out those old products that can pose a threat to the environment and should not be thrown away with everyday trash,” said Freeholder Gary Quinn, liaison to the Department of Solid Waste Management. Waste can be brought to three locations on three separate dates. The program is free, but space is limited and preregistration is strongly suggested. Collection days are set for: • July 13 at the Manchester Department of Public Works Garage, 1360 Route 70, Manchester. Please call 732-506-5047 to register. • August 10 at the Jackson Municipal Building parking lot, 95 West Veterans Highway, Jackson. Register by calling 732-367-0802. • September 7 at the Long Beach Township Department of Public Works, 7910 Long Beach Boulevard. Please call 609978-0913 to register. The drop off locations will be open from 9 am to 3 pm. County residents may bring their waste to the closest or most convenient drop off. Materials accepted at the household hazardous waste collection sites include:
paints, thinners, boat paints, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, aerosol cans, auto products, toilet and drain cleaners, silver polishes, oven cleaners, photographic chemicals, rug and upholstery cleaners, polishes and bleaches, waste oil and used gasoline. Materials not accepted include oxygen tanks and boat flares. Residents can drop off a maximum of 200 pounds of dry material and 20 gallons of liquid at the County’s household hazardous waste collection sites. No containers over five gallons will be accepted. Waste will be accepted only from county residents and farmers. Businesses and government agencies are not eligible. Program information is also on the county website at www.co.ocean.nj.us/recycle. “I’m proud to say that this is the 30th year that the county has run these collections and over the past 3 decades our residents have helped to safely dispose of more than 15 million pounds of hazardous materials,” said Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines. Household hazardous waste collection dates earlier this spring saw 232,965 pounds of material collected. Quinn said residents who miss a date should contact their municipal recycling centers and the county’s recycling centers, which allow for year-round drop off of a host of materials including used paint, motor oil and car batteries. “Our residents should check with us or their local recycling center to determine what is accepted year-round, eliminating the need to store potentially hazardous items in their home,” Quinn said.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 6 - july 12
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Postpone what you can; it would be wise to put some things on hold until next week when you can give them your complete attention. You are savvy about finances but remember that a salesperson may have their own agenda. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do the needed self-care to get through the week. It may be difficult to negotiate a better deal or to make money as an entrepreneur right now. Look forward to Independence Day when you can relax. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can sweet talk your way through every change in plans. However, in the early part of the week you might not hear many sweet words from loved ones who could be too wrapped up in business to be very attentive. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your best ideas take flight when you are flying under the radar. Avoid making major purchases or decisions about investments in the week ahead. Some wishful thinking could be inspiring but make decisions based on facts. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Crush it like a boss. If you must make a presentation or speak in public people will hang on to your every word. It may be wise to wait until after the Fourth of July holiday to put your creative ideas into action. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When the wind is at your back it is easier to move forward. You may meet little resistance to your ideas in the week ahead, but it may be wise not to rush into implementation. Give people time to absorb data. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It is all a
matter of perspective. Be empathetic enough to see things from the other side and act accordingly. Whenever you are in the work environment this week it will be necessary to give people credit for their assistance. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Making more money from your current job may be difficult at this time, and there may be little wiggle room for negotiations. You may choose to work harder than usual in the week ahead so that you are able to take time off. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your business instincts are in fine form, but you may hesitate to push your own agenda this week. Your sympathies may be stirred to the point that you fear offending anyone with crass discussions of money. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Often in life when you reach a peak another mountain appears. You may feel like it’s difficult to stay abreast of continuing education courses or required qualifications. Remain optimistic in the week ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Money mix-ups could provide some comic relief in the week to come but remain on your toes so that muddles and foul-ups don’t cause losses. Keep your cash in your pocket and count your change at the checkout. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Being creative or spending time developing concepts may be right up your alley. Unfortunately, the world demands that you focus on concrete contributions. Don’t be vague about details in the upcoming week.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Sweet Celebration: My Gluten-Free, Vegan Cupcakes By Wolfgang Puck When celebrating holidays, many of us pay just as much attention to the food as we do the fireworks. But what should we serve? Hot dogs, hamburgers, ribs or chicken? Why not all four? Baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw? They all sound good! What about dessert? Of course, there will be ice cream. But it almost goes without saying that you’ll also need some sort of baked good as well. More and more, though, when I mention baked goods to friends or restaurant guests, a pair of issues comes up that I used to never hear about. First is the increasing number of people who are trying to follow vegan diets free of any animal products, including dairy. On top of that, it seems that every day somebody tells me they’ve switched to a gluten-free diet; whether they’re dealing with celiac disease or eliminating gluten for other health-related reasons, they no longer eat wheat, the main source of gluten, or other of the many ingredients or processed foods that may contain traces of the substance. So, holiday, I’d like to propose making a dessert that will help your friends - and you- declare your independence from animal products and gluten alike. My catering team and I originally developed the following gluten-free, vegan cupcake recipe to serve at the Governors Ball reception following the Academy Awards ceremony; but it’s a treat that anyone can enjoy year-round. And by “anyone,” I also mean people who may not be following vegan or gluten-free diets. These cupcakes are absolutely delicious in their own right, featuring a tender, moist cake with a rich chocolate flavor made all the more intense with the help of some freshly brewed coffee. The luscious frosting gets its creaminess from a combination of coconut oil, almond milk and soy milk powder. You can find all the ingredients you’ll need - including gluten-free baking flour, potato starch, and arrowroot and xanthan gum powders - in the baking aisle of any well-stocked supermarket today; or online, with most suppliers able to ship them to you within just a few days. If you’re packing the cupcakes to take to an at-home party or picnic, be sure to put them in a rigid, airtight container and keep them someplace cool so that the frosting doesn’t melt. Just one more word of caution: Keep looking up in the sky for the fireworks, because otherwise your attention may be focused on dessert alone! GLUTEN-FREE VEGAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH ALMOND-COCONUT CREAM FROSTING Makes 2 dozen FROSTING: 1 1/2 cups plain or vanilla-flavored almond milk 3/4 cup soy milk powder
1/4 cup agave nectar 1 tablespoon coconut extract 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups coconut oil 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice CUPCAKES: 1 3/4 cups all-purpose gluten-free baking flour 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup potato starch 1/4 cup arrowroot powder 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum powder 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 1/3 cups agave nectar 1 cup hot brewed dark-roast coffee 1 cup coconut oil 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce 3 tablespoons pure vanilla extract Prepare the frosting at least 6 hours ahead. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, combine the almond milk, soy milk powder, agave nectar, coconut extract and vanilla. Process for 2 minutes. With the machine running, slowly pour in half of the coconut oil through the feed tube; then half of the lemon juice; and then the remaining half of each. Continue processing until thoroughly blended. Pour the frosting into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until it has firmed up enough to spread, about 6 hours. For the cupcakes, position the oven rack in the middle level and preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins or four standard-sized 6-cup muffin tins with paper cupcake liners. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, potato starch, arrowroot, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt. Stir well with a wire whisk until thoroughly blended. In a separate bowl, combine the agave nectar, hot coffee, coconut oil, applesauce and vanilla. Stir with a whisk until thoroughly blended. Add this wet mixture all at once to the dry ingredients. Stir with a whisk until a smooth batter forms. Transfer the batter to a large measuring cup, or use a ladle, and pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups until each is nearly full. Transfer to the middle rack of the preheated oven. After 15 minutes, rotate the tins front to back and continue baking until the cupcakes rise nicely, look firm and spring back when gently pressed at their centers, about 7 minutes longer. Remove the tins from the oven, and leave the cupcakes to rest in the tins at room temperature for 20 minutes. Then, remove the cupcakes from the tins and leave on wire racks to cool completely. When the cupcakes have cooled completely, use an icing spatula to spread the frosting on top of each one. Serve immediately, or store in a single layer in an airtight container at cool room temperature.
