—Photo provided by the Jackson School District McAuliffe Middle School teacher Jen Conley celebrates the publication of her first novel during a special event at her school.

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON - Many people have thought that the experiences of their work place would make for the mater ial for a f i ne book. A tea cher at the Christa McAuliffe Middle School took that idea and made it a reality.

Jen Conley, who appropriately serves as a

literacy teacher at the school, utilized her years understanding the needs and mindset of young adults to become a published author.

Conley’s first young adult novel, “Seven Way s t o K i l l H a rry” was recently published by Down & Out P ublish i ng. Con ley said that the central

message of her book is “that you can grow strong enough to survive a bad situation.”

“I am hoping young adult readers can really relate to the situations and lessons that our character experiences,” Conley said.

Her accomplishment was recognized with a celebration this month at her school where

she had the chance to talk about her novel with her co-workers and students.

Her novel is set in 1983 Ne w Je r s e y and centers on a boy named Danny Zelko, who is 13-going-on-14 and who is trying to find a way to get rid of his mother’s new boyfriend, Harry.

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 (Opioid - See Page 6)

Jackson Keeps Attorney, But Not Gilmore’s Firm

By Bob Vosseller JACKSON - She may work for a different law firm but the township’s attorney will be staying on the job.

In recent weeks township attorney Jean Cipriani advised the governing body that she had resigned from Jackson’s appointed law firm of Gilmore & Monahan, Toms River.

One of the principals of that firm, George Gilmore, was recently convicted of three charges relating to tax evasion connected to his firm. The firm does a lot of business with municipalities. He is also the former head of the county Republicans.

For about a dozen years, Cipriani has advised the governing body concerning various legal issues ranging from proclamations to development related litigation and in the last several years, legal challenges by Agudath Israel of America.

Within the last few weeks Cipriani advised the governing body concerning a group of residents suing the township over the Adventure Crossings sports complex project.

What’s New At The Ocean County 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.

“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, (Fair - See Page 2)

Fair:

Continued From Page 1 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 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 Friday, July 12, 11 a.m.-11 p.m.

• Jackson Pines, a local folk band. They will perform on stage and then walk around with instruments, bringing their music through the fair.

• After the Reign (country) 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.

“People always ask for them to come back,” Adams said.

• Clarizio Music Rock Band • Horse show.

• Cowboy Larry western show 2-6 p.m.

Saturday, July 13, 11 a.m.-11 p.m.

• Scott DeCarlo (Jersey bred country) • R&B Express, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.

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.

Sunday, July 14, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

• $18 wristbands for unlimited rides • Sketchy Medicine • Kaotic Control There will be some entertainment that will be throughout the fair. These are mostly return visitors who the fairgoers like to see. They are: Marvelous Mutts dog show Dinosaurs Rock Exhibit and activities Pig Races Chainsaw Carver ​(not available on Sunday) Marshall Stevens Pony Rides Rides, Games and Food The fair will have the same ride vendor as they had last year, Adams said. This outfit is a family-run operation out of Englishtown, New Jersey.

On Thursday and Sunday, there will be $18 wristbands for unlimited rides.

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

Teacher:

Continued From Page 1 Harry is described in reviews as “a creep, drinks too much, locks Danny out of the house and calls Danny Danielle.”

Conley said that her book is “an authentic look at the friends, enemies and “frenemies’’ that sometimes comprise a teenager’s inner circle, and the humor and heartbreak that sometimes come with adolescence. I drew from my first-hand knowledge of how kids this age feel.”

She added that Danny “is going through a very difficult time, and because I’m around kids all day and because we often read stories and novels about kids in tough situations, I have gotten to know not only how my students feel, but about how they would react.’’

The new author has already garnered some good reviews beyond the presentation she made to several groups of students at her school on June 13 and June 19.

Author Lee Matthew Goldberg who wrote “The Mentor and the Desire Card” series described her book saying it was “a poignant nostalgia trip to being 13 in the 80s that also has a sharp bite. It tugs at your heart-strings while making you laugh out loud. Never has the attempt to get rid of your mom’s evil boyfriend been so charmingly portrayed. A must read!”

“Jen Conley brought me back to my childhood with this gripping debut. Sometimes harrowing, often funny, this is a great and necessary read for anyone who wants to understand what it’s like for boys in that

The Jackson Times, July 6, 2019, Page 5 liminal stage, when faced with the challenge of a bad role model,” said Thomas Pluck author of “Bad Boy Boogie.”

Conley said that young adult novel readers love to read about the experiences of their peers, so she was excited to create a fictional world she thought would speak to teen readers.

“As a teacher I’ve been privy to the many disputes and reconciliations kids experience, so writing about Danny’s disputes and reconciliations came easily,” Conley said.

Conley said she added a generous helping of humor into her book “because I know kids love to laugh. Just like a little humor in the classroom gives kids a break, humor in a novel also gives the reader a break.”

McAuliffe School Principal Debra Phillips said that Conley “is an amazing teacher. She develops highly engaging lessons, develops positive and meaningful relationships with her students and leads by example. Her knowledge and passion for literature is unparalleled.

She is an asset to our Literacy Department and a role model to our students.”

Med ia Specialist Lisa Cr ate said Conley’s book, “is the perfect depiction of how being 13 can be awkward, challengi ng, f u n ny, and somet i mes heartbreaking. I know my students will love this book.”

This summer will feature some time for Conley to be creative again.

“I am finishing writing up another book this summer,” she said. “I am finishing up the final edits.”

Opioid:

Continued From Page 1 is another step we are taking in the fight against drug overdoses,” Ocean County 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 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.

Openings Still Available in Jackson School District Pre-School Program JACKSON - Parents of pre-school aged children who would like to enroll in the Jackson School District’s Pre-School Program are encouraged to contact the district as soon as possible to secure a spot.

“We have had great interest, and we do have spots remaining in both our full-day and half-day programs,’’ said Tracy Decker, who supervises the program. “We need to finalize our rosters, so anyone who is thinking about applying is encouraged to do so as soon as possible.’’

The district’s Pre-School Program provides 3- and 4-year old children a developmentally appropriate early learning experience within the Jackson School District. In this tuition-based program, special needs and typically developing pre-schoolers come together in an inclusive classroom where language, academic and social skills will be developed in a nurturing environment. Classes are taught by certified teachers.

Lakewood Airport Awarded $242K FAA Grant to Design New Aircraft Apron From The Desk Of

Congressman

Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Chris Smith (R-4) said the awarding of a Federal Aviation A d m i n i s t r a t i o n ( FA A ) grant to Lakewood Airport is another solid step to modernize the Lakewood Township facility.

Recent infrastructure improvements to the airport have helped enhance air operations, leading to a shortage in aircraft tie-down apron spots and

hangar space. The airport, which first foresaw the need following a study more than a decade ago, has been hard-pressed to meet the need of both locally-based and transient aircraft.

The $242,640 grant will be used for the design pha se of i m prove m e n ts that will feature a 12,000 square yard (SY) apron to securely park planes.

When completed, the

project will upgrade existing aircraft parking areas with a 9,200 SY transient apron adjacent to the Taxiway A, a 13,700 SY apron by the terminal building and maintenance area, and a 3,300 SY apron between the airport’s storage hangar and the northwest side of Runway 6/24. The need for the project was cited in the 2006 Airport Master Plan that determined improvements were necessary that would bring sufficient paved parking spaces for local-based and visiting aircraft, and it recommended a 12,000 S.Y. of apron should be constructed.

“This funding was approved by the FAA and

will be used to design operational upgrades to Lakewood Airport facilities,” Smith said. “The Lakewood Airport is an important component to the Lakewood Office Industrial Park and helps boost economic activity in Lakewood and in the surrounding Ocean County area.”

The airport, located in L a k e w o o d To w n s h i p ’s Office Industrial Park, is less than 40 minutes flying time from numerous East Coast metropoli-

tan international airports.

Lakewood Airport is classified as a general aviation facility by the FAA. This latest grant to keep Lakewood Airport modern and operational follows other grants including a $ 4 0 5 , 0 0 0 FAA g r a n t i n 2015 for the final phase of improvements to runway 6/24, a 2014 FAA $84,000 grant used to design a new taxiway intended to increase safety, and a 2013 FAA grant for $220,500 used for the removal of obstructions both on and

off airport property that interfered with runway 6/24.

“This project will ultimately enable us to meet more demand and to pursue other expanded services with this new capacity on hand,” said Steve Reinman Director of Economic & Industrial Development for Lakewood Township. “We appreciate all the help from Congressman Smith and the federal government to serve the people of Lakewood better.”

At first it was uncertain whether she would be retained or replaced by another member of Gilmore & Monahan.

During a June 25 council meeting she was approved to continue on in her position under the name of the new firm she is associated with: Rothstein, Mandell, Strohm & Halm, P.A. for the period of July 1, 2019 through Dec. 31, 2019.

Council President Robert Nixon, Vice Council President Barry Calogero and Councilmen Ken Bressi and Andrew Kern each approved resolutions that retained Cipriani for her appointment as township attorney as well as the township’s affordable housing attorney for the same period. Councilman Alex Sauickie was absent from the meeting.

Cipriani has publicly stated that while her decision to leave the law firm she had long been associated with was a difficult one, it was a move she had to make. “I am grateful for my time there (her former law firm) but an opportunity came up and I felt it was my time to move forward.”

“It is my honor to vote for this,” Bressi said of the resolution.

Calogero said it “is my pleasure to vote yes on this resolution.”

Kern provided a strong yes vote.

“Absolutely,” Nixon added.

“I am very grateful to the council for this,” Cipriani said after the meeting.

Cipriani said she will also remain as borough attorney of Seaside Heights which she has represented for the last 23 years.

She acknowledged that the township has faced some interesting challenges but said “it is a well-run town and I have grown very attached to it. I am very grateful and it is an honor that they are sticking with me.”

In other business the council introduced an ordinance which authorized the acceptance of a land donation on property in the rear of Frank Applegate Road.

Kern also commended those First Aid Squad members in the township as the council approved the certified lists for the length of service award program.

“They are a fantastic group of people,” Kern said.

“I’d like to thank everyone in the First Aid Squad for their service,” Nixon added.

Kern also noted the township’s planned July 6 fireworks program and Independence Day celebration.

The Orchards at Bartley Achieves Advanced Standing

JACKSON – The Orchards at Bartley Assisted Living, located on the Bartley Healthcare campus at 100 North County Line Road in Jackson, NJ, has once again received the Advanced Standing designation from the New Jersey Department of Health. The Orchards at Bartley has received Advanced Standing recognition every year since the inception of the program in 2012.

Advanced Standing is a voluntary program that assisted living communities choose to participate in to demonstrate their commitment to excellence. The designation is confirmation of successful compliance with all state, federal and local regulations that pertain to licensed assisted living facilities in the state of New Jersey.

Additionally, the organizations that achieve Advanced Standing, prove their dedication to quality by participating in the National Center for Assisted Living’s Quality Performance Measures Survey and meet the benchmarks for certain prescribed quality indicators as chosen by the Peer Review Panel of the Health Care Association of the New Jersey Foundation.

Noel Peters, the Executive Director of the

Orchards at Bartley, praised his team for the care and services that they provide every day to meet the needs of the residents and enhance the quality of their lives.

This high level of quality care with a focus on constant improvement and innovation is the reason that Bartley is a leader of health and eldercare services and has maintained an excellent reputation for over 34 years.

Bartley Healthcare is family owned and operated and has been repeatedly recognized for superior healthcare and eldercare services. Both Bartley Healthcare Nursing and Rehabilitation and The Orchards at Bartley Assisted Living have been honored with awards on the local, state and national levels and have received the AHCA/NCAL (American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living) Silver Quality Awards, as well as the Joint Commission accreditation for their Sub-Acute Rehabilitation and Memory Care units.

Anyone needing information about assisted living, independent living, respite care, memory care, skilled nursing or rehabilitation can contact Bartley Healthcare at 732-370-4700 or visit their website bartleyhealthcare.com.

OCEAN COUNTY – As the holiday season approaches, are you one of those people who feel left out of the festivities? You are not alone. Many of us who deal with mood disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, feel the same way. You do not have to suffer alone.

There are two mental health support groups that meet in Ocean County that can provide support for you during this time, and throughout the year.

The Jackson group meets at the Brighter Days Community Wellness Center (CWC) located at 268 Bennetts Mills Road, Jackson, NJ 08527 on Wednesday afternoons, year-round, at 12:30 to 2:00 p.m.

The Toms River group meets at the Community Medical Center, 99 Route 37 and Hospital Drive, Auditorium C, Toms River, NJ 08755 on Wednesday and Friday eve-

nings, year-round, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.

DBSA is a national and NJ state-wide, non-profit, tax-free, 501(c)3 charitable corporation, whose mission is to help, support, educate, and improve the lives of people who have mood disorders.

If you suffer from mood disorders, we welcome you to attend our group. Those who have a family member or friend with these issues are also welcome. It is an entirely voluntary group with no registration required, or payment of dues or fees, but we do accept a small voluntary donation.

For more information, call Maureen at 732-536-5826.

DBSA Jackson is led by its members, who have similar mental health issues; and have had special training on how to lead groups.

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.

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.

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The carbon monoxide detector isn’t blaring from a malfunction.

Ocean County Health Department officials are urging residents to take those alarms seriously. It could save a life.

When a CO alarm sounds off, leave the home immediately and call for help.

“It’s called the silent killer because carbon monoxide is a gas that gives no warning - you can’t see it, taste it or smell it. Never gamble with your family’s health and safety by assuming it just may be the batteries or some other unknown reason that triggered the device,” Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health said.

Heating and cooking appliances, tools, vehicles, and other household devices can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, leading to more than 400 deaths each year in the United States.

Residents should have CO detectors on every level in their homes and near every sleeping area. Batteries should be replaced twice a year for daylights savings. Suspected malfunctioning batteries should be replaced immediately.

“During cold and inf luenza season, symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can easily be confused with symptoms of viral illness like the common cold or flu.

If symptoms come on shortly after turning on a device in a certain room and go away after leaving the area or more than one person gets sick at the same time, then these are clues to help identify CO poisoning,” Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator, said.

Prevention is also key.

• Keep all heating and dryer vents clear of snow, leaves and other debris.

• Keep open flues when using a fireplace. Have chimneys inspected for blockage.

• Don’t use the stove to heat the home/ apartment.

• Generators are for outdoor use only.

Keep them at least 20 feet from buildings, doors and windows.

• Keep generators, pressure washers, grills, camp stoves, or other gasoline, propane, natural gas or

charcoal-burning devices out of the house (including a basement, garage, carport, camper, boat cabin, or tent) and away from open windows and doors.

Do not idle vehicles in a closed ga-

rage.

“If someone is unresponsive or unconscious and you suspect them being exposed to CO poisoning, get them out of the house and call 9-1-1 without delay.

Trying to open windows is only a waste

of time and will only cause you to breathe in more of the dangerous fumes. However, it’s ok to leave the door open after you exit so fresh air can seep in,” Regenye said.

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.

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.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Dr. Louis Napolitano Offers State-Of-The-Art Dental Care

By Robert Verderese Smile and the whole world will smile with you is a saying that you have probably heard before. It’s incredible how simply smiling can make such a dramatic difference in your outlook—and those around you. For those who are not confident with their smiles they might hesitate or avoid smiling altogether, which is truly unfortunate. This is where Dr. Louis Napolitano, DMD, in Jackson, NJ could really make a huge difference in a person’s life. Along with his associate Dr. llan Gamburg, office manager Laurie Abramowitz, and his wonderful staff, Dr. Napolitano offers a one-stop shop for state-of-the-art dental care for you and your family.

Louis Napolitano was born and raised in Union City and now lives in Howell with his wife. He completed his undergraduate studies in chemistry from Georgetown University and subsequently attended dental school at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, where he graduated as a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon—a national honor society for dental schools.

When asked why he chose to

become a dentist, Dr. Napolitano replied: “I always had an interest in, and aptitude for, the natural sciences so I decided to major in chemistry as an undergraduate. While in College, I realized that I wanted to work in a field where I could use my abilities to positively impact the lives of others. As I considered my options, I discovered that dentistry would be the perfect occupation for me—allowing me to use my skills to optimize a patient’s oral health which contributes to their overall general health and well-being.”

As someone who believes it is important to keep abreast of the most recent technological advances in dentistry, Dr. Napolitano is an avid member of many professional organizations where he studies the latest techniques and technology in the profession.

One bit of technology that Dr. Napolitano is particularly excited about is the state-ofthe-art Solea—the only FDA approved C02 laser used for hard tissue (teeth) and soft tissue (gums) procedures.

This incredible laser technology possesses a unique wavelength which functions as an alternate to the tradi-

tional drill in the majority of dental procedures.

“The Solea laser technology is wonderful in that it totally takes the anxiety out of dentistry. Everybody knows someone who is petrified of needles—perhaps your children or even yourself—and as such avoids receiving treatment they desperately need. For these people, Solea is the obvious solution to their dental woes. By not having to administer needles, I am able to deliver virtually painless procedures to my patients, invariably bringing a smile to their faces and to mine!” Dr. Napolitano says.

Another benef it of this breakthrough laser technology is that it allows for a more efficient dental experience for patients. With Solea, you can have a cavity or filling done in a flash, which allows patients to resume their daily activities—go back to work or out to lunch—without any discomfort. Also, given that Solea is less invasive than traditional dental procedures, healing is much quicker.

And as an added bonus, there are no fee increases or additional charge for performing the Solea laser restoration for a patient. In a word, Dr. Napolitano aptly explains this new laser technology in the following way: “Solea provides an overall wonderful experience for my patients and is changing the way we practice dentistry while changing the lives of the people we care about most—our patients!”

In addition to the Solea, Dr. Napolitano’s practice offers a full-range of dental services, including general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery and implant dentistry. “In the past you were sent somewhere else,” Dr. Napolitano explains. “My vision was to create a state-of-the-art facility where all of a patient’s treatment could be provided in one practice.”

Did you know there is a link between oral health and overall health? Indeed, the latest medical research clearly confirms this connection: “We’re not just interested in teeth and cavities,” Dr. Napolitano says. “We’re interested in the whole person—everything about our patient’s health.”

Dr. Napolitano notes that those who have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes are more likely to develop gum disease. “Many diabetics have a decreased ability to fight

Dr. Louis Napolitano, DMD bacterial infections, including those that occur in the mouth.”

A lot of chronic pain can also be traced to underlying dental issues, such as migraines—even heart disease!

So what can you do to protect your oral—and overall— health? Well, for starters, Dr. Napolitano stresses the importance of regular oral hygiene at home: “You should brush your teeth three times a day, use dental floss on a consistent basis, and use a mouth rinse with fluoride daily.”

Although good preventive oral health begins at home, it doesn’t end there. To be

sure, the full spectrum of preventive dental care must always include routine cleanings by dental professionals.

Patients should come in for a professional cleaning and oral cancer screening exams at least twice a year. This dental practice is crucial in that not only will you be able to have plaque and tartar removed from your teeth, but you will also be given a thorough examination of your whole mouth.

Dr. Napolitano and his team are committed to making patients feel as comfortable as possible and to develop relationships with each patient: “Every member of our team takes tremendous

pride in providing the most compassionate care to all of our patients and to make them feel as comfortable as humanly possible,” Dr. Napolitano says. “We make every one of our patients feel like they are part of our family.”

To get more information about Dr. Napolitano’s practice, you can call his office at 732-905-2488 or visit his website at louisnapolitanodmd.com. The office hours are Monday 9:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Tuesday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Wednesday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Thursday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Dr. Napolitano’s office is conveniently located at 2046 West County Line Road, Suite 2 in Jackson, NJ.

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.
