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 Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines said. “We want to send a clear message that it’s

Beach:

Continued From Page 1 “We starting looking into doing something at the park in March I would say. We looked at a swing set, but with the safety set back, the swings wouldn’t work,” Stafford Township Councilman Michael Pfancook told Jersey Shore Online.

Instead, the township opted for a more fitting addition, keeping with the maritime theme instilled by the wooden boat structure that used to stand on the beach prior to Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

According to Pfancook, both state and fed-

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.”

Hai nes added that Ocean Cou nt y 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.

“Dr ug 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.

eral environmental protection departments set forth certain requirements and restrictions after Sandy, forcing the township to look into other options for playground equipment.

“The whale fit the area we had available to work with, with the weather and tide over the years, the beach erosion has taken so much of the beach away,” he added.

The renovations were performed by the township buildings and grounds crew, who cleared and leveled the bay beach area. They built a retaining wall around the perimeter of the beach, fencing it in, and then worked on installing Jenny the Whale.

“After the whale was installed, the area

was filled with about 30 tons of fresh beach sand,” Pfancook said.

Jennifer Lane is located off of Morris Boulevard, one of the main access roads into Beach Haven West. If you take Jennifer eastward, you will find yourself at the edge of Beach Haven West with a great view of the Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Bridge which connects the mainland to Long Beach Island. There is a small area for parking adjacent to the new fencing, a picnic table, and Jenny the Whale. Jenny is fenced off from the remainder of the beach on three sides, designating it as a play area for kids.

While the beach is open to residents and

visitors, there is still a bit of work left to be done on the parking area i.e. grading and the addition of new r-blend and rocks.

Overall, the renovations ran the township approximately $25,000, said Pfancook, some of which was funded through Stafford’s park equipment grant.

“There are a lot of families with younger children that visit that park, it’s nice to have something for the children to play on,” he added.

If you want to meet Jenny for yourself, or spend a day in the sun, the Jennifer Lane Bay Beach is located at the intersection of Jennifer Lane and Susan Lane.

Campaign:

Continued From Page 1 instill “street smart” values in township residents.

The Street Smart NJ pedestrian safety campaign kicked off on June 26 outside of the Long Beach Township Police Department. A cloudless sky and summer heat brought out tons of beachgoers traveling along Long Beach Boulevard on foot and in vehicles, accenting the event’s purpose.

“Pedestrian safety is a top priority every day, but it’s especially important during the summer months when we have thousands of people visiting our shore communities,” said Freeholder John P. Kelly, who sits on the NJ Transportation Planning Authority Board of Trustees.

“We’re committed to making our streets safer but we need everyone’s help. If you keep safety in mind when you’re driving and walking, we can make a difference and reduce crashes.”

In New Jersey, pedestrian safety proves a major concern. According to (NJTPA), “the federal government has designated [New Jersey] a pedestrian safety focus state for its high rate of fatalities and injuries.”

Of the total number of individuals killed in crashes in New Jersey in 2017, nearly one third were pedestrians, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). NHTSA counts that number as 183 pedestrian fatalities out of a total 624 total fatalities.

The Southern Ocean Times, July 6, 2019, Page 5 This figure is nearly double the national average of 16 percent, ranking New Jersey as 13th in the nation in pedestrian fatalities per 100,000 people.

Think of it this way: one pedestrian is killed every two days in New Jersey.

Developed in 2013 by NJTPA, Street Smart NJ is an annual campaign that partners with local police departments throughout the Jersey Shore to promote pedestrian safety during the busy summer beach season. Long Beach Township was one of the NJTPA’s first law enforcement partners.

Since its inception, the program has grown to incorporate nearly 100 local communities including Beach Haven, Harvey Cedars, Ship Bottom, Surf City, Asbur y Park, Point Pleasant Beach, Bradley Beach, Brielle, Long Branch, Manasquan, and Sea Girt among others.

On June 26, officials from Ocean County, NJTPA, Long Beach Township Police, and traffic safety organizations came together to commemorate the kick-off of their 2019 season.

“These campaigns make a difference by reminding everyone to follow the laws and be safe,” said Megan Keller, Long Beach Township Police Officer. “Drivers need to slow down, focus on the road and stop for people crossing. And people who are out walking should use crosswalks or cross at corners, wait for the signal and also avoid distractions.”

And Keller is right – these campaigns really do make a difference. Analysis performed on campaigns conducted in

2018 and 2019 found Street Smart NJ contributed to: • A 60 percent reduction in drivers failing to stop before turning right at a red signal or stop sign • A 40 percent reduction in turning vehicles failing to stop for people crossing • A 45 percent reduction in drivers running a red light or stop sign • A 21 percent reduction in people crossing against the signal or outside of a crosswalk.

One of the event’s speakers was Andy Anderson of the NJ Bike & Walk Coalition. Anderson connected the purpose of the Street Smart NJ campaign to reality with a tragic story.

“On Saturday, my wife and I received a phone call from our youngest daughter and she was in tears…[she] lives and works here every summer in the LBI area and she told us that one of her best friends was struck and killed while jogging in Delaware, where she was attending college,” said Anderson. “She had just turned 23 years old and she was supposed to have plans with my daughter on Sunday.

“In that moment it reminded me that none of us…is immune from this.”

Anderson echoed Freeholder Kelly and Officer Keller’s statements, adding that we are the only ones who can make a difference in these tragic statistics; he doesn’t believe in calling them “accidents,” either.

“It’s not an accident, it’s a crash or a collision and ask yourself…was there

anything that someone in this collision could’ve done to avoid it?” he added.

Samantha Rodolico, driver’s education teacher at Burlington City High School, provided another perspective of how safety awareness can save lives.

“Three years ago Antione Timbers, who was a junior at Burlington City High School, was out at night right across from our high school [on Route 130] when he was struck and killed by a speeding vehicle,” she explained. After this tragic loss, the students and staff knew they wanted to make a change.

Using the slogan “25 Saves Lives,” and with the help of the Brain Injury Alliance of NJ, they were able to petition to decrease the speed limit on that road from 50 mph to 25 mph, to reduce the risk of crashes. This is now known as Antione’s Law. During the Street Smart NJ campaign, officers will be working to enforce pedestrian laws as well as educate motorists and pedestrians about the steps they can take to avoid a tragedy or injury on the roadway.

Just as Anderson pointed out, this campaign is meant to remind us of the role we play in making our streets safer.

Stay alert, put down your phones, keep your heads up, use crosswalks, obey speed limits and signals, and stop for pedestrians.

LIFS To Screen Monarch Butterfly Documentary

SHIP BOTTOM – The Lighthouse International Film Society will screen documentary film The Guardians October 13, 2019, 7 p.m., Ship Bottom Volunteer Fire Station 2006 Central Avenue.

A visually dazzling meditation on the balance between human and nature, The Guardians poetically interweaves the lives of the threatened monarch butterfly with an indigenous community fighting to restore the forest they nearly destroyed. Migrating 3,000 miles to hibernate in towering Oyamels, the monarch population faces collapse.

When the directors started filming The Guardians in 2014, the monarch population hit an all-time record low of 33 million, down from 1 billion just twenty years prior.

In the valley below, the people of Donaciano Ojeda struggle to support their families in their ancestral lands now part of the protected Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.

Santos, a charismatic avocado farmer and Aristeo, a philosophical tree caretaker are the storytellers of the community as they confront internal divisions, illegal loggers and their own mortality. Shot over three years, this cinematic journey through the butterfly dense mountaintops of Michoacan tells an intimate story of a unique community at the front lines of conservation.

The film will be followed by Q& A with Garden Club’s Theresa Hagan and artist and master Monarch advocate Judith Johnson.

You can learn more about the film, watch a trailer and purchase tickets at lighthousefilmfestival.org.

Admission is $5 and free for LIFS members and students. This event is co-sponsored by The Garden Club, The Bay Avenue Plant Company, and The Ship Bottom Volunteer Fire Department. This event is open to the public.

Fair:

Continued From Page 1 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, 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.

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 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.

EYE INJURY PREVENTION AT HOME

While most people assume that eye injuries occur at work in factories and at construction sites, nearly half of all eye injuries occur at home. The commission of home repairs, yard work, cleaning, and cooking comprise more than 40% of eye injuries at home, while more than a third of injuries in the home occur in the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, or living or family room. In excess of 40% of yearly eye injuries are related to sports or recreational activities. The most concerning statistic of all is that more than three-quarters (78%) of people were not wearing eyewear at the time of injury. Clearly, the majority of home-related eye injuries can be prevented with the use of protective eyewear.

Safety eyewear must conform to a higher standard of impact resistance than regular eyewear. This higher standard applies to both the lenses and the frames of safety glasses and goggles. Safety glasses may have prescription lenses or non-prescription lenses. SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. offers attentive, thorough eye exams in a comfortable, professional environment. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call 732-349-5622.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

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

TR ENTON – Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove (all R-9 th) praised the final passage of legislation they sponsor to extend the mor tgage forbearance and foreclo-

sure assistance program 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 efforts 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.

Cer tainly, they deser ve 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

to f ight for safer roads for our neighbors and a project that would keep ou r Joi nt Ba se of f t he BRAC (Base Relocation And Closure) list for years to come.”

The amendment would direct the Department of Defense to address road safety issues at and around its facilities. Plagued by frequent accidents, funding for projects such as the Route 539 Interconne c t or wou ld i m p r ove safety for our servicemen and women and the communities surrounding the Joint Base.

The project would also improve militar y readi ne s s by o p e n i ng new

training acres to Ar my Reserve units, allowing additional training missions to come to the Joint Base.

“Our service members should be able to eff iciently and safely train – and civilians passing by bases should not face undue obstacles or hazards.

That’s why we’re working to move this impor tant overpass project forward and improve military efficacy and readiness,” said Congressmen Norcross.

“I look forward to continuing to work with the New Jersey Delegation and my fellow amendment sponsor – Congressman Kim – in supporting our

Joint Base.”

Summer Safety Reminder

SURF CITY – As we head into the busy season, Surf City Police provide a few friendly reminders: • Bicyclists must ride WITH the flow of traffic.

• Bicyclists must obey traffic signals and posted signs (i.e. they are required to stop at red lights, as well as stop signs).

• Pedestrians must walk/run AGAINST the flow of traffic.

• Pedestrians should use marked crosswalks when crossing streets whenever available.

If not in a marked crosswalk or if crossing the road at any point other than in a marked crosswalk, pedestrians must yield the rightof-way to vehicles.

• Pedestrians crossing at intersections controlled by traffic signals MUST obey said signals; pedestrians may only cross with the green light and/or “walk” hand.

• Pedestrians SHALL NOT enter the roadway (step out/walk or run out) when it is unsafe to do so; a pedestrian may not leave the curb or place of safety if a vehicle is so close that it is impossible for the driver to safely stop.

• Vehicles must stop and stay stopped for pedestrians actively crossing within marked crosswalks.

• When a vehicle is stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross, vehicles approaching from the rear shall not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle.

To sum up, we all must be responsible, courteous, and share the roads! Help us keep everyone on the roads safe by being present and paying attention.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding pedestrian/bicycle safety, please call us at 609-494-8121 to speak with an officer.

MOLD REMOVAL & REMEDIATION

Around The Jersey Shore Robert Jackson Nominated To Pinelands Commission

On June 13, Governor Murphy nominated Robert Jackson, of Middle Township, to replace D’Arcy Rohan Green of the Pinelands Commission. Jackson was commissioner from 2008 to 2015 until Governor Christie replaced him after Jackson voted against the South Jersey Gas pipeline. He was also a former mayor of West Cape May. “Robert Jackson brings an important voice to the Pinelands Commission. He is someone who has spent 7 years on the commission and always voted his conscience for what is right for the Pinelands. That is why Chris Christie threw him off. We think Robert is a great appointment to the Pinelands and it important that Governor Murphy nominated him to go back on,” said Jeff Tittel, Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “Robert is Governor Murphy’s fifth nomination to the Pinelands Commission. Together with the new chair, they can move the Pineland’s mission forward and work to protect the Pines from climate change and fossil fuel projects.”

Jackson is the fifth nomination Murphy has made to the commission. He nominated Theresa Lettman in January, Jessica Rittler Sanchez and Jennifer Coffey in May, and reappointed environmental attorney Ed Lloyd in May. “The Governor has now nominated 5 excellent people to serve on the commission. Reappointing Ed Lloyd is good news.

Jessica Sanchez, Theresa Lettman, and Jennifer Coffey are also great additions to the commission. Now we need to get them confirmed as quickly as possible. Senator Sweeney and Senator Scutari need to get the Senate and Judiciary Committee moving on their hearings. Governor Murphy also needs to make sure that it gets done,” said Tittel.

There are two pipelines that would cut through the Pinelands, the SJ Gas and

NJNG’s Southern Reliability Link (SRL).

The Pinelands Commission tabled a vote to rescind their approval for the SJ Gas pipeline and have yet to put SJ Gas back on their agenda. The SRL pipeline has already started construction in Ocean County despite still being in ongoing litigation.

“Now that Governor Murphy will make these appointments, it is critical that he moves their hearings forward. The Commission need to fix the CMP and how to deal with infrastructure. They also need to update the Pineland rules on dealing with climate change,” said Tittel. “The Commission need to rescind their approval for the SJ Gas pineland and put a stay on SRL pipeline. NJNG should be prohibited from beginning any construction on their pipeline until the entire project is approved.”

The Pinelands is the largest open space on the eastern seaboard and recognized for its biodiversity by the United Nations. When the Pinelands Act was passed forty years ago, one of the major reasons was to prevent pipelines coming through to connect offshore oil to refineries in south Jersey.

“By appointing Robert Jackson to the Pinelands, he gets to make up for one of the most outrageous acts of Governor Christie who threw off commissioners who voted against pipelines. These 5 appointments to the Pinelands Commission will make a significant difference when it comes to moving forward with issues of climate change, fossil fuel projects, fixing the CMP and more,” said Tittel. “The Pinelands is the country’s first National Reserve and holds 17 trillion gallons of water in its aquifer.

There is nothing like it in the world. We asked and fought for Governor Murphy to nominate new people for the Pinelands Commission and he has given us those new people. Now we will fight as hard as we can to get them all approved.”

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.

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.

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 that you will have Michael J. Deem 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.

Ocean Ride Makes Application To Transit For 2020 Funding

TOMS RIVER – Having provided eight million trips over the course of 42 years, Ocean Ride is a key component to moving people – especially seniors and the disabled – around Ocean County.

“This service is a key component to the quality of life for many of our residents,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines, during a recent public hearing on NJ Transit funding for the service. “This service benefits countless numbers of people allowing them to access jobs, get to doctor’s appointments, shopping and other every day events.

“It makes a significant difference for our citizens who do not have transportation readily available,” Haines said.

Ocean County anticipates receiving $1,378,526 under the Fiscal Year 2020 Senior Citizen and Disabled Resident Transpor t ation Assist ance Prog ram grant which funds are derived from casino revenues and are distributed by NJ Transit. The 2020 funding is down almost $6,000.

“We have been advised that with the advent of sports betting and its subsequent success, our funding from the casino revenue sharing, will be increasing in future fiscal years,” Haines said. “This is very good news since we have been weathering a downturn in funding for Ocean Ride from the state for several years.”

She noted that the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders provides the greatest share of funding for the service.

“The county’s contribution accounts for more than $3 million, which represents over 54 percent of Ocean Ride’s total budget,” said Ocean County Freeholder Gary Quinn, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Transportation Department. “The Board of Freeholders understands the significance of providing reliable transportation to its citizens and has maintained the considerable financial support in order to continue this service.”

He added that the County will continue to seek creative ways to improve this service.

David L. Fitzgerald, Director of the Ocean County Transportation Depart-

ment, said casino funds used to support Ocean Ride peaked in 2008 and since that time Ocean County has lost about $1.5 million in annual awards, from $2.8 million to approximately $1.3 million.

“This resulted in us thoroughly reviewing all aspects of this service,” Haines said.

“And the Ocean Ride staff has developed smart strategies to keep this transportation system functioning so it continues to be beneficial to our residents.”

Grant funds cover a portion of the operational expenses, repairs and maintenance, minigrant program, reserve a ride program, fixed bus service, veterans’ transportation and other services of Ocean Ride.

In an effort to maximize its funding, Ocean County continues to make important upgrades to its transportation software system, has introduced a newly redesigned website and now has an Mobile App called “Where’s My Bus” which can be downloaded from Google Play and the Apple App Store.

“We continue to make this service more efficient for drivers and more helpful for our ridership,” Quinn said. “In addition the department continues to monitor all service levels for efficiencies.”

Speakers at the June 20 public hearing offered their praise for Ocean Ride noting that it made a difference in the lives of many seniors and the disabled living in Ocean County.

Walter Preston, who serves as chairman of the Ocean County Transportation Advisory Committee for Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities, noted that the professional and dedicated staff at Ocean Ride is key to the program’s success.

“All of you here are a part of something extremely important,” Preston told the staff present at the public hearing. “I commend you all for the service you provide our riders.”

In 2018, Ocean Ride provided 320,075 trips.

“Our Ocean Ride staff works to make certain we are providing the best service possible within the budget,” Freeholder Haines said.

State Ensures Seaside Games Are Fair

By Judy Smestad-Nunn SEASIDE HEIGHTS – How can you be sure that the odds aren’t stacked against you when you play boardwalk games, or that you are getting the full pound of salt water taffy that you paid for?

State Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal came to the Seaside Heights boardwalk on Friday afternoon, June 21, to kick off an initiative to inspire consumer confidence that they won’t be scammed while playing games of chance, or cheated while buying goods on the boardwalk this summer.

“Operation Safe Summer” is led by the State Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA),

whose acting director Paul R. Rodriguez accompanied Grewal.

Other officials present on the boardwalk included Seaside Heights Police Chief Thomas Boyd and Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer, who joined the attorney general in several boardwalk games to demonstrate how officers from the DCA’s Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission (LGCCC) do their inspections.

“The goal of this event is really just to have consumers have confidence that when they come to the boardwalk to spend their hard-earned money and start their summer celebrations, that they can know they’re gonna get a fair deal when they play these games, or that when they go to buy something at one of these stores the signage is accurate, the prices are clearly displayed,” Grewal said.

“If they buy a pound of candy, they’re getting a pound of candy. If they miss a freethrow it’s not because there’s too much air in the basketball, but it’s bePolice Chief Thomas Boyd throws darts at balloons to test a cause they can’t hit a game.

–Photos by Judy Smestad-Nunn Ocean County Consumer Affairs Agent Richard Aubin is using two pound weights to check the scale in a sweet shop. On the left you can see a state seal posted that shows the scale has been certified.

Heading over to a dart game, Grewal said DCA inspectors first make sure that the entity is licensed with the DCA, which must be renewed every year. Then the inspector checks to see if the gaming booth has their prices and rules posted.

The officials checked the distance between the player and a basketball hoop, measured

the throwing distance at Bottle Bust, and made sure a claw could pick up everything in the play field and that items displayed were in the case.

Afterward, inspectors checked the calibration of scales used to weigh candy and fudge in one of the sweet shops on the boardwalk.

Seaside:

Continued From Page 24 Each scale must have a state seal.

Under the Amusement Games Licensing Law, enacted in 1959, the state began licensing and inspecting amusement games under the auspices of the NJ Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), which was transferred to the DCA in 1993.

Asked if inspectors frequently found violations, Rodriguez said that when the games were regulated by the ABC there were many.

“It’s rare to catch violators now, because the first violation - and each vendor could have

multiple games and multiple violations - is $250,” he said. “We are very clear about what we are looking for, so now they are mostly compliant.”

According to Karl Reidel, executive officer at LGCCC, the shore is comprised of 16 municipalities where licenses have been issued at 266 locations.

Police Chief Boyd welcomed the attorney general, and thanked him for coming to Seaside Heights.

“You can never have enough oversight. We work hand-in-hand with the attorney general to make sure the public gets a fair shake,” he said. “We could use all the help we can get.”

Homeland Security Protects And Promotes Religious Freedom Throughout New Jersey

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY! Appointments are available at our St. Francis Community Center locations in Long Beach Island, Manahawkin & Bayville

ROBBINSVILLE – On June 25, Governor Philip D. Murphy and the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP) held their quarterly Interfaith Advisory Council (IAC) meeting at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Temple in Robbinsville, New Jersey. Over 300 IAC members, high-ranking State officials, and law enforcement executives were in attendance.

“The Interfaith Advisory Council is working hard to secure safe places of worship for congregations of all faiths,” said Governor Murphy. “These meetings have led to open communication with law enforcement built on relationships of mutual trust and respect to ensure that, regardless of faith or religion, we can come together as one.”

The meeting consisted of intelligence brief ings on threats and trends that could possibly affect houses of worship throughout the State. NJOHSP also provided information on suspicious activity reports (SARs), particularly as they relate to religious communities. Additionally, the event served as an opportunity for Governor Murphy, as well as NJOHSP’s law enforcement partners, to have senior leadership or command staff available to directly engage with the council.

“Hate has no place in New Jersey,” said Jared M. Maples, Director of the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness. “We speak stronger when we speak together with one unified voice.

The sharing of best practices is key in knowing what threats or issues your community may face down the road.”

“As we see crimes and acts of violence motivated by bias continue to rise across our state and country, it’s absolutely critical that law enforcement and faith communities join together to ensure the safety and well-being of all,” said New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal. “We must send a message that we treat an act of hate against any one of our communities as an act of hate against all of our communities.

By gathering and working together as we are today, we can not only protect all our residents and religious communities, but we can also help identify additional ways to push back against the rising tide of hate and intolerance we are witnessing in this moment.”

Founded in 2012, the IAC encourages

frank dialogue and two-way communication between government and faith-based organizations, helping to strengthen the goodwill that is so critical to the law enforcement and homeland security enterprise. To supplement these key activities, NJOHSP provides security training, at no cost, and facilitates the availability of grant opportunities for nonprofit organizations in these communities to improve facility security and develop their own training programs.

“The IAC has played a critical role in facilitating dialogue between law enforcement and communities of faith before emergency situations happen,” said Evan R. Bernstein, ADL’s New York/ New Jersey Regional Director. “This only strengthens our ability to stand united against all forms of hate in New Jersey.”

Through NJOHSP, eligible houses of worship can also apply for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) and the New Jersey Nonprofit Security Grant Pilot Program (NJ NSGPP). The NSGP provides funding to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that are at a high risk of terrorist attacks and located within designated areas of New Jersey. Funds from this grant program are used to purchase and install security equipment on property owned or leased by the nonprofit organization. Select items that can be purchased include CCTV, card access readers, blast film, lighting, fencing, and bollards. The NJ NSGPP provides a total of $1 million for eligible 501(c) (3) nonprofit organizations determined to be at a high risk of terrorist attack. Funds through this grant program are used to expand existing security personnel or to hire permanent or temporary security personnel for the purpose of preparedness and reduction of vulnerability.

“Hosting the IAC meeting with Gov. Murphy and OHSP Director Maples was a great honor as diverse faiths come together in New Jersey with law enforcement to ensure awareness, preparedness and ultimately the safety our state’s houses of worship,” said Kanu Patel, CEO BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha.

Over the past seven years, the IAC has grown exponentially and now boasts over 3,000 members throughout all 21 counties in New Jersey.

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.
