By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – There was a lot to see at the Ocean County Fair – and a lot to learn, touch, and talk about, too.

The fair, which runs for five days at the Robert J. Miller Airpark

in Berkeley, expanded offerings to be more hands-on this year.

Sure, there was still the usual rides and boardwalk-style games.

And fair food like popcorn, roasted peanuts, Italian sausage, cotton

candy and ice cream.

Vendors were selling clothing and jewelry, and booths were set up for government services, politicians, and political hopefuls.

But this year, there was more of an inter-

active feel to it.

The 4-H Club, which has long had a close association with the fair, had made some changes. While there had always been a horse demonst ration, this (Fair - See Page 5)

Future Officers Win Awards

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – For the third year in a row, the Ocean County Chiefs of Police Public Safety Cadet Unit No. 1 has been named the top over unit at the fourth annual New Jersey State Youth Law Enforcement Competition held at Stockton University May 31 to June 2. More than 100 cadets and explorers from numerous units participated.

Some of those cadets and explorers from Unit No. 1 were on hand to be recognized at the July 2 Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders meeting.

“I want to thank you all for recognizing how hard these kids are working, but also want to thank the families and friends who put the time in driving

them to all our events and following up and making sure their uniforms are ready. We couldn’t do this without the families,” Ocean County Sheriff’s Officer Christine Farrell said. “These kids have worked tremendously hard.”

Several of the program members have already been picked up as full-time police officers, SLEO I and II officers, and dispatchers.

“So the success of this program isn’t just the competitions and the community service projects, it’s the actual success that these kids are doing in their lives,” Farrell added.

Some municipalities run their own cadet programs.

Marking 40 Years As The Voice Of Ocean County Sports

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Success in radio is based, in large part, on using your time wisely.

Three minute songs. Two minute segments.

Commercial breaks.

For 40 years, Kevin Williams has used his time wisely. Signing on for the first time in July of 1979, he was WOBM’s first full time sports director. In an office decorated with, unsurprisingly, sports memorabilia, he talked about how things have changed – and how they haven’t – over four decades in the business.

Back then, WOBM’s slogan “We’re Ocean County” was more than just talk. When the station began in 1968, 92.7 FM was the only commercial station in Ocean County. There was a lot of room to grow, and to forge their identity.

As for sports, the station ran a highlight reel of the big national games, but 90 percent of it was high school athletics.

Williams gave a five-minute sports segment at 5:35 a.m. Steve Paul would start his show right after. As they made a transition, the two would have a little on-air banter. Over time, a minute of conversation became two, two (Voice - See Page 4)

County May Sue State Over Immigration, State Says Not Necessary

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – While the federal government issues one rule on how to deal with undocumented residents, the state has issued another. The county is looking to sue the state in federal court to enable them to continue following federal guidelines.

However, the state says they don’t need to stop doing anything they are already doing.

Voice:

Continued From Page 1 became three. Eventually, their banter got longer than Williams’ entire segment.

This transitioned into “Coffee With Kevin” from 5 a.m. To 6 a.m. It was an hour of two guys talking about whatever interested them. This grew into co-hosting the morning show from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. with Paul until 1996.

He still has an on-air presence with the Hometown View, where he sounds off on whatever’s on his mind for 2-2.5 minutes.

“I’ve never been censored but I’ve probably irked a person or two,” he said, laughing.

Throughout his career, he’s always had his finger on the pulse of the local sports community. Even if the way he reports on it is different.

When he began, the DJs used records.

Then, there were 8-tracks. Eventually, there were CDs. Now, there’s just a computer with everything installed on it.

Some of the character of those old days are lost in the sterile, digital environment. He admits he’s “technology challenged,” but does what he needs to do.

There’s still a hunger for local sports coverage in the area, but the method people get it has expanded.

This fall, they will be streaming video on Shore Sports Network, one of their websites. You can listen to content on your radio, of course. Or you can listen through your computer. You can get a free app on your mobile device.

People want information immediately, and if you can’t provide it, they’re going to find it somewhere else. Radio stations have to be f lexible to meet customers wherever they may be, whether it’s in their car or on their tablet, he said.

He called this the ‘ATM mentality.’

Convenience is key.

The station had been sold a few times, most recently to Townsquare. Thankfully, through it all, ultra-local coverage, and sports, were a priority.

“I’ve been really lucky to work for different companies, and had superiors who let me do what I do well,” he said.

Williams had always been involved in sports, and has always been with WOBM. There were times he thought about going for a bigger audience. He had sent tapes to ESPN, when that started, for example. But if he had been got that job, he would have lost out on a lot of opportunities.

“I never missed anything. I walked my daughter to school. I went to 3 p.m. baseball games” for his kids, he said. “I met a lot of people, and they’ve become lifelong friends.”

There are some things that WOBM will always be known for. Snow closures, for example. These used to be compiled by someone answering phones, and DJs reading the list over the air. Now, school officials log in and enter the info directly to the station’s website. Most schools robo-call parents, too.

Local sports is another thing they will always be known for. They have become

“the go-to source or high school sports in the shore area.” The hunger for local sports content is still strong, reaching 1 million views a month.

They crafted a partnership with the Shore Conference, working events with them and streaming football games.

The station took on the WOBM Christmas Classic in 1984. The huge basketball tournament was hosted at Ocean County College over winter break for many years until moving to High School North’s arena. Williams had pitched the idea of WOBM taking it over after Southern Regional School District was considering dropping it.

They also just held the 42 nd annual AllShore Gridiron Classic, with football teams from all over the region.

He’s met the Todd Fraziers of the Jersey shore area, watching them come up in the ranks and knowing “This kid is going somewhere.”

The media has to be careful how they cover these stand-outs. “It’s not fair to create a 17-year-old superstar,” he said.

What’s amazing about these stars is that they are really decent people, he said.

They were good kids who grew up to be wonderful adults.

There’s also more pressure on kids these days, and it’s hard for them to be under scrutiny like this. Social media has made bashing them a lot easier, and he’s not just talking about kids bullying each other. There are parents who are ripping on some of these kids when they

have a bad day.

“They’re 16! People who make millions of dollars have bad days,” he said.

People have changed, too. “A lot of people are very connected to where they came from,” he said. There are a lot of retirees who don’t have the same emotional link to the local high schools. “There’s always a part of them left back home.”

There are also a lot more people in general. Back in the day, there were just a handful of high schools. If you grew up in Toms River, you went to Toms River High School. Now, there are three.

Someone who went to South might not care about how well East did in a game.

Although his voice is so recognizable as a stalwart of local coverage, he hates the sound of it. Others don’t share that (Voice - See Page 5)

Fair:

Continued From Page 1 time there was a fenced in area closer to where people could see them. A child talked about the horses and answered questions.

There were activities about horses nearby.

All of the 4-H exhibits were under one huge tent. Instead of specific squares where the rabbits or fowl are, for example, the cages now snaked along one side, creating a natural flow of traffic. The seeing eye dog demonstrations also told visitors about their training.

These moments were not lost on the fairgoers.

Deen Dougherty of Manahawkin shared what she learned from the seeing eye demo, and happily was able to pet one of the dogs.

She was able to take time with the trainer, and speak one-on-one with her about the animals. She was there with her sister, Joyce Sullivan of Manahawkin.

One event was a little too interactive except for the most brave.

This was the High Flying Pages thrill show. This featured acrobats and two motorcyclists riding inside a metal sphere.

“It took a long time for me to learn to say ‘no,’” he joked.

The Jackson Times, July 20, 2019, Page 5 In one instance, they brought an audience member into the sphere. A staff member kept her safe while the motorcyclist ran circles around her.

“We come every year. It’s a nice family tradition,” said Bernie Meyer of Berkeley.

His family was at a booth where people could walk through a butterfly garden. They had sponges soaked with sugar water and were taught how to interact safely with the delicate creatures.

The butterfly show was the most commented about attraction this year, reported Jeff Adams, fair manager.

“We lost Thursday with the rain,” he said.

“But even with the heat, people came out” on the other days. He estimated there were at least 50,000 guests coming through the fair over the five days.

The chainsaw carver, Dennis Beach, provided several pieces to the fair and people were able to watch him work. As people bought the pieces at the fair’s main table, several said they had looked him up online to see what kind of work he does, Adams said. He won an international competition in 2017. So, even with this rustic hobby, people are using the internet to learn more.

But good things have come from when he’s said ‘yes.’

All of this is tiring, since he’s 63, but it doesn’t mean he’s retiring. “I don’t know that I’d like to be bored.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor

F EATURED L ETTER Everyone Should Be Able To Vote In Primaries Last month, 7.7 percent of New Jersey voters went to the polls to vote in party primaries that were, for the most part, noncompetitive. That was hailed as an increase from the 3 percent that voted four years ago.

Americans are deeply concerned about our country - just look at the level of volunteering and charitable giving in New Jersey and nationally. We care what happens. So why is voter participation so low? Not apathy. It’s failed political system that lacks transparency, is divisive, controlled by party insiders and overly reliant on campaign contributions.

We represent the 2.4 million independent voters that were locked out of the primaries. There are more voters registered as unaffiliated in NJ than in either of the major political parties. It’s hypocritical to bemoan participation

rates when you exclude 40 percent of the registered voters in the state.

As leaders of New Jersey Independent Voters (Sue Davies) and No Labels New Jersey (Steve Barratt), we are advocating for the New Jersey Democratic and Republican Parties to Open the 2020 Presidential Primaries to all New Jersey independents.

Independents across our state want to participate in the presidential primary process without having to compromise their independence. Our tax dollars pay for these elections and we deserve to be heard. The parties have the opportunity to broaden the conversation and participation in 2020.

It is time for a democracy experiment.

Read The Mueller Report The Mueller Report, issued April 18, 2019, by the Department of Justice consists of 2 Volumes, with a Table of Contents preceding each volume. It is more or less 448 pages in length (an exact count difficult to determine due to varying paginations). Table of Contents for Volume One consists of 5 pages; the TOC for Volume Two consists of 4 pages. Appendixes A, B, C and D run some 53 pages (395-448).

The cover is black, appropriately, because this report signals the demise of our democratic republic. The title coloring is appropriate in that The Mueller Report is rendered in gold, Trump’s favorite decorative choice in his properties.

Reading the report seems boring due to its dry, lawyerly and/or unimaginative recitation of facts implicating Trump and his posse in many illegal activities. It is somewhat frustrating too because of its reluctance to draw definitive legal conclusions as to the president’s guilt.

Most ordinary citizens who read the Report or at least a portion of it will be forced by logic and common sense to the conclusion of Trump’s personal guilt, based simply on the facts enumerated within

Letters To The Editor the Repor t. The reader would so state. Based on anyone anywhere near the will also find the report fascinating - despite its blandness of language in its descriptions of so many instances of Donald Tr ump’s obst r uction of justice as President!

Ever y concer ned citizen must read the 2 tables of contents, minimally.

A n imaginative citizen will readily connect the dots between Trump, his cronies, and Russian operatives attempting/succeeding in perverting our national election, with a careful reading of the rather descriptive Tables of Contents. All citizens should read and reread three times The Conclusion of the Report (designated page 394 at top & page 182 at bottom), immediately prior to Appendix A. Here it is for those without the report at hand.

“Because we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment, we did not draw ultimate c on clu sion s ab o u t the President’s conduct. The e v i d e n c e we o b t a i n e d about the President’s actions and intent presents difficult issues that would need to be resolved if we were making a traditional prosecutorial judgment.

At the same time, if we had conf idence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we

the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

Like other rational Americans, Robert Mueller expected Congress to use his report for the good of the nation and for the preservation of our Constitution.

But, granted the lack of moral fiber and/or backbone within the Republican Cong ressional Caucus, Rober t Mueller is now himself in the crosshairs of Trump and his toadies, led by William Barr.

Had something like this happened in Nazi Germany, the hy pothetical “special counsel” looking into Hitler’s actions would be summarily ar rested, tortured and executed! It would not surprise me if Donald Trump longs for such extrajudicial power for himself.

Long fearful of and much appalled by America’s inexorable march towards autocracy - aided and abetted by a mutated Christianity - I cannot expect Trump supporters to read a single word of The Mueller Report. Truth doesn’t matter to them, alas!

However, in the interest of saving our Constitution, I hope every rational citizen will come to its rescue.

Donald Tr ump is our Constitution’s most potent opponent i n A mer ica’s history!

9/11 Responders Shouldn’t Get “Handout” From Feds It galls me to see Jon Stewart yet again harassing Congress for yet another large handout from the taxpayers at the same time several tort law fi rms are advertising on television for

site to make a claim. I have a neighbor who was a carpenter for the NY subway system and claimed to be at ground zero who collected $500k. This same person tried unsuccessfully years ago to get a reduction on the tax assessment for his house simply because it was 20 miles from the Oyster Creek nuclear power station.

Almost eighteen years after 9/11, do you expect us to believe that anyone who has contracted a respiratory or other serious illness have not been affected by their occupations or lifestyle?

Fi remen enter bu r n i ng buildings with little or no facial protection. Likewise, don’t they have comprehensive medical plans of their own, or does it taste better if the taxpayers pay for it? And what happened to the $9 billion Congress sent to the Zadroga fund in December of 2017?

This subject is ripe for an investigative report. It should start from the beginning and include cash awards, tax breaks, medical costs, etc. so that everyone should be informed to make their own decisions without being stampeded by a talk-show host with a sharp political tilt.

Andy Kim Has Been Keeping His Promises As a Congressional candidate, Andy Kim ran on a platform that included monthly town halls in his district.

In the first five months of his term, Andy has held six town halls and attended 7 events in the district. His town hall on the opioid crisis, held in Toms River, was something our district has been needing for years.

It’s fantastic to have a representative so available to his constituency.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Bill Would Legislate Treatment Of Migrant Children In U.S. Care WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker (both D-N.J.) joined Senators Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) in introducing the Stop Cruelty to Migrant Children Act. This new legislation, supported by more than three dozen Senators, would put an end to the Trump administration’s cruel and neglectful treatment of children at the U.S.-Mexico border and reform how children fleeing persecution are treated between the moment at which they arrive at our borders to claim asylum and the ultimate resolution of their asylum case.

“As the Administration continues to implement their anti-immigrant agenda by incarcerating asylum-seeking families, shutting ports of entry, forcing children to stay in filthy conditions as a way to deter immigrants from coming to our country, it’s our re-

sponsibility to demand accountability, protect these individuals and ensure government funds are not used to further traumatize or harm asylum seekers,” said Menendez. “This critical legislation will first and foremost protect children and families at the border, provide real solutions to the growing humanitarian crisis including alternatives to detention, stopping family separation and ensuring migrants are treated humanely and afforded the due process they deserve.”

“All of the recent reports of abuse and neglect of children by this administration are horrifying the American people, but are the predictable byproduct of the racism and discrimination that drive the policies of this president and his appointees,” said Merkley. “No moral or religious tradition in the world condones hurting children to send a political message - but that is exactly what the Trump administration has done. We need a strong response to stop the cruelty

at the border and ensure that our nation treats these vulnerable children as we should, with respect, dignity, and compassion.”

“Democrats continue to propose real solutions to the same immigration problems the president complains about,” said Schumer. “We have legislation ready to go that would strengthen our asylum system, allowing immigrants to apply in their home countries; would hire more judges, to reduce the backlog of cases; and provide the security assistance Central American countries need to crack down on the drug cartels and gangs that send so many of their citizens fleeing. This new legislation will establish clear mandatory guardrails for the appropriate and humane treatment of children and families - it’s a necessary step to restore America’s moral credibility and an example of how we can deal with our immigration issues with dignity and common sense and we will fight to make it a reality.”

“As a former teacher, a

mother, and as a grandmother I am appalled by the heartbreaking reports coming from our southern border, and firmly believe we cannot allow this administration to continue to harm children and run roughshod over our shared values,” Murray said. “This legislation is just a step toward mitigating the harm done to these kids and holding those responsible accountable, but it’s a critical one we must take immediately before the kids in our care are even further hurt and traumatized. For the sake of the children, I urge all of our colleagues to join us in this effort to protect the kids in our care, because we will not stop fighting until this is made right.”

The Stop Cruelty to Migrant Children Act would create clear, non-negotiable standards for the treatment of children in America’s care, including: Ending family separations except when authorized by a state court or child welfare agency, or when Customs and Border Protection

President & Publisher Stewart Swann

and an independent child welfare specialist agree that a child is a trafficking victim, is not the child of an accompanying adult, or is in danger of abuse or neglect; Setting minimum health and safety standards for children and families in Border Patrol Stations.

The bill requires access to hygiene products including toothbrushes, diapers, soap and showers, regular nutritious meals, and a prompt medical assessment by trained medical providers.

Requiring children receive three meals a day that meet USDA nutrition standards.

Ending for-profit contractors from operating new Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) standard shelters or influx facilities.

The bill ensures that temporary influx facilities are state-licensed, meet Flores standards, and are not used to house children indefinitely.

Expanding alternatives to detention and the successful Family Case Management Program.

Removing roadblocks to placing unaccompanied children with sponsors by lower ing case manager caseloads, mandating lower staffing ratios, and ending the information sharing agreement between ORR and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

These provisions would ensure that children are moved out of detention centers and into community-based settings - usually, sponsored by family members - as soon as possible.

Ensuring unaccompanied children have access to legal counsel and continue to be placed in a non-adversarial setting for their initial asylum case review.

Additionally, the legislation would provide resources to non-profit centers that are helping to provide humanitarian assistance, and improve public oversight of the conditions children are being held in by allowing members of Congress and their staff, along with credentialed press (without cameras), to visit any facility with 24 hours notice.

Police Congratulate Longtime Employee On Retirement

—Photo courtesy Jackson Police JACKSON – On Monday, July 1, the members of the Jackson Police Department bid farewell to Telecommunications Officer Margaret “Peggy” Bollentin #919 wishing her congratulations on her retirement from the police department after serving the township and its residents for over 26 years.

TCO Bollentin was hired by the police department as a dispatcher in March 1993. She was always known for her calming voice and nurturing demeanor. Bollentin was very well respected by her peers and supervisors for her

professional behavior even during the most stressful calls for service.

During her tenue with the Jackson Twp. Police Department, Bollentin received a Letter of Commendation, a Command Citation Letter as well as being named the Telecommunications Officer of the Year in 2014.

As sad as we all are because “Peggy” is leaving us, the members of the police department wish her the best in moving on to the next phase of her life and hope she enjoys retirement.

County Prepared To Service Pets with Disaster Relief

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY — According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, over a third of US households are also home to a furry companion. In Ocean County, many local families have dogs or cats they consider part of the family.

In an effort to service both humans and animals in the event of an emergency, Ocean County has become the newest member of the AKC Pet Disaster Relief program.

AKC Reunite is the largest non-profit pet identification and recovery service provider in the United States. Their national program, AKC Pet Disaster Relief, is dedicated to keeping pets and their owners safe in response to natural or civil disasters.

In collaboration with local American Kennel Club dog clubs and dog lovers, AKC Reunite presented an emergency trailer to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office. The AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailer will be available to dispatch to any disaster scene that needs assistance sheltering pets.

“We are beyond grateful to AKC Reunite and the Kennel Club of Philadelphia for providing us with this life-saving tool for our community,” said Kevin Cooney of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office. “Our department is now better equipped to help pets and pet owners in the case of a disaster.”

In the event of an emergency, the AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailers create a safe, temporary home for at least 65 pets during the first 72 hours after a disaster is declared. Inside the trailers you will find essential animal care

items including crates and carriers, AKC Reunite microchips, an AKC Reunite universal microchip scanner, bowls, collars, leashes, fans, lighting and a generator, cleaning supplies and maintenance items. These supplies can be used as co-location shelters, where people can evacuate with their pets, as well as emergency animal shelters for displaced animals.

“This is the 76th trailer donated through the AKC Pet Disaster Relief program. The trailer will provide critical resources to help the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office quickly assist its community when responding to natural disasters,” said Tom Sharp, AKC Reunite CEO. “Safe, effective pet sheltering solutions are important following a disaster, and we are pleased that an AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailer will be available to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office as a vital tool.”

A generous donation of $100,000, courtesy of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, funded the purchase of the OCSD’s new trailer. While Ocean County was the first, the donations funds will continue to provide trailers to eight other counties throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

“Our association is thrilled to be able to bring such an important resource like the AKC Pet Disaster Relief Trailer to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office,” said Wayne Ferguson, President of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia. “The trailer will help the organization assist their community in times of disaster”.

Swim Safe With The Health Department’s “Rip Tips” For Rip Currents

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – As the saying goes: it’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt.

According to the National Weather Service, 30,000 people are rescued from rip currents and high surf zones in the US each year. According to the US Lifesaving Association (USLA), more than 100 bathers will lose their lives this year due to rip current drowning.

While the beach is a great place to relax and enjoy the waves, the Ocean County Health Department is reminding residents to practice caution when in the ocean.

“With the water getting warmer as the dog days of summer approach, more and more people will flock to the ocean to swim and recreate. That is why it’s extremely important to be aware of any known rip currents where you’re swimming and to only swim when a lifeguard is on duty,” advises Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

It is always a good idea to swim only when a lifeguard is on duty. The USLA calculates that a person’s chance of drowning is 1 in a million while swimming at a protected beach.

While lifeguards do a great job of keeping watch to ensure safety, it is important for everyone to know how to avoid a rip current in the first place, or what to do if pulled into one.

“If you ever find yourself caught in a rip current, do not fight it,” said Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator. “The best thing to do is to swim parallel to the shore and swim back to the beach at an angle. Try to stay calm - rip currents only pull you out, not under.”

Some may refer to them as “undertow” or “rip tides,” but these silent dangers are actually rip currents. Rip currents are powerful, narrow channels of fast moving water moving at speeds of 8 feet per second.

“Drowning deaths occur when people pulled offshore are unable to keep themselves afloat and swim back to shore. This is due to any combination of exhaustion, fear, panic or lack of swimming skills, “Regenye added.

The OCHD provides some tips to remember in the event you get pulled into a rip current: Don’t swim against the current.

Swim out of the current, then to shore.

Try to escape by floating or treading water if the current circulates back toward the beach.

If you feel you will be unable to reach the shore, draw attention to yourself by yelling or waving for assistance.

How can we identify if a rip current is present? The OCHD noted that they can present as a narrow gap of darker, seemingly calmer water between areas of breaking waves and whitewater, or a channel of churning, choppy water. There is also a difference in water color or perhaps a line of foam, seaweed or debris moving seaward.

If you see someone struggling in a rip current, get help from a lifeguard. If you attempt to rescue the person, you may end up in the same situation. If possible, throw the struggling swimmer something that floats. If a lifeguard isn’t available call 9-1-1.

For more information on rip currents and a complete list of “rip tips,” visit the Health Department website at ochd.org.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Filing Deadline For School Board Candidates Is July 29

By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Nominating petitions for board of education seats are due by 4 p.m. July 29 to the Ocean County Clerk’s Office.

Those petitions are available in person at the clerk’s office in the Ocean County Courthouse, Election Services, room 107, 118 Washington St. in Toms River, or at the Ocean County Southern Service Center at 179 Main St. in Manahawkin.

Board of Education members are elected during the general election, which this year is Nov. 5. There are 66 open seats this election cycle.

Candidates running on the same slate can file one petition, Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella said. They may also choose a

three-word slogan which, if used, must be part of the petition and will appear under their names on the ballot.

“Simply, more than one candidate can appear and circulate the same petition for the same office and term,” he said. “In the past, petitions had to be filed separately, even if all the candidates were running on one slate.”

Petitions must be filed with disclosure statements, which declare a candidate has not been convicted of a disqualifying crime.

Candidates who need more information can call the election office at 732-929-2153.

A list of candidates will be available after July 29 at oceancountyclerk.com or facebook.com/oceancountyclerk.

With over 10,000 members nationwide, the NFLA has a large membership base right here at home in New Jersey, some of which require special medical attention.

According to statistics compiled by the NFLA, football retirees over 50 years old have a 13.5 percent rate of coronary heart disease, 46 percent rate of high blood pressure and a 44 percent rate of high cholesterol. These former players also exceed the national averages for poor leg circulation and other heart conditions. A high percentage of NFLA members also suffer from sleep apnea, asthma and diabetes.

“NFL Alumni is proud to partner with Deborah Heart and Lung Center,” says NFL Alumni CEO Beasley Reece. “This partnership will grant our former players access to world class medical services across the country while supporting our mission to better the quality of life for our former NFL athletes.”

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE EPA Proposes Cleanup Plan to Address Lead Contamination in Soil at Superfund Site WEST DEPTFORD – On July 3, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a cleanup plan to address lead and other contamination on a portion of the Matteo & Sons, Inc. Superfund Site in West Deptford, New Jersey. The portion of the Matteo site includes the Matteo facility at 1692 Crown Point Road as well as a property across the street formerly occupied by Mira Trucking. Former operations in this area of the Matteo site included crushing batteries, recycling batteries and landfilling, which contaminated the soil, sediment and groundwater with lead, antimony and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

“EPA’s cleanup plan removes the main source of contamination within the Matteo site to address the potential exposure pathways,” said EPA Regional Administrator Pete Lopez. “As part of our ongoing work at the Matteo & Sons, Inc. Superfund Site, EPA has already removed more than 1,250 cubic yards of lead-contaminated material from nearby properties, and we are now proposing to excavate an estimated 92,000 cubic yards of additional material. This plan reflects EPA’s commitment to prioritize the Superfund program and ensure that these sites are cleaned up as quickly and safely as possible.”

The EPA is proposing to dig up and properly dispose of battery casing waste and contaminated soil within the Matteo facility and the property formerly occupied

by Mira Trucking that poses a potential risk to people’s health. The plan requires that excavated areas then be backfilled with clean fill and that contaminated soil

within an approximately 10-acre active scrapyard area be covered with asphalt or similar material. EPA will sample the soil during the cleanup to ensure that the cleanup work is effective. EPA will conduct a review of the cleanup every 5 years to ensure its effectiveness. EPA will further assess options for addressing the sediment and groundwater after the completion of the soil cleanup. The estimated cost of the cleanup is $72,245,000.

EPA will hold a public meeting on July 17, 2019, to explain the proposed cleanup plan for the Matteo facility and the property formerly occupied by Mira Trucking and to take public comments. The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at the RiverWinds Community Center, 1000 RiverWinds Drive in West Deptford, New Jersey.

Comments will be accepted until August 2, 2019.

Written comments may be mailed or emailed to: Lawrence A. Granite, Remedial Project Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 290 Broadway, 19th Floor, New York, NY 10007. Email: granite.larry@epa.gov. Phone: 212-637-4423 To read EPA’s proposed plan, visit epa. gov/superfund/matteo-and-sons.

The Superfund program is a top priority for EPA under President Trump, and the agency is making great strides in accelerating sites through remediation and back to productive use by implementing the Superfund Task Force Recommendations.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Possible Prevention Of Hearing Loss Through Better Nutrition Research seems to confirm a relationship between a healthy cardiovascular system and hearing health. As most of you know, optimal nutrition should be based around “whole foods” - fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts, vegetable juices and virgin olive oil. The jury is still out in regard to meat and dairy products, but it is quite clear that meats in general should be free of hormones and antibiotics. “Dead” foods (anything preheated, refined/processed), all processed vegetable oils, margarine, genetically modified products and aspartame (Equal, Nutrasweet) should also be avoided, particularly if microwaving.

Although I am not a nutritionist, nutritional supplements are probably appropriate for most people. Even though supplements alone cannot provide a complete range of micronutrients that our bodies need to function optimally, they are necessary to counteract basic nutritional defi-

ciencies due to poor eating habits, to treat current health problems, to enhance the immune system and to counteract any nutritional losses due to prescription medications. Possible supplements might include Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B Complex, Folic Acid, Magnesium, Zinc, Ginkgo Biloba, garlic and fish oil. Other substances such as coenzyme Q10, DHEA, Melatonin and Alpha-Lipoic Acid might be appropriate also.

Regular exercise is vital for both cardiovascular fitness and better hearing health.

Research clearly confirms that if we eat right and exercise daily, our overall health will be improved.

Although prevention of hearing loss as a function of aging cannot be completely stopped, there are certainly ways to “slow down” the process.

The combination of a nutritionally optimal diet, exercise and appropriate hearing aids will lead to a more active lifestyle and improve quality of life.

Grilling Lettuce Might Make You Sleepy

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. This summer, lots of people are barbecuing.

You probably think the word “grill” and “lettuce” shouldn’t be in the same sentence should they? Why not?

It wouldn’t be the first time a vegetable was grilled. Just think of zucchini, peppers and corn on the cob.

Wild lettuce, known as Lactusa virosa is a species from the lettuce family that is most interesting. It grows all over the world. It contains “lactucarium” a milky substance that can cause sedation and psychoactive effects like hallucinations. It should NOT be grilled.

Wild lettuce has bright green leaves which secrete the lactucarium. This compound resembles opium, a mild analgesic. In the early 1900’s, extracts of this species was used for whooping cough.

But you’re probably wondering about Iceberg lettuce, or Romaine aren’t you? To answer your first question (because I can read your mind), NO, these foods are not psychoactive.

Food Science and Biotechnology has an article entitled, “Sleep-inducing effect of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) varieties on pentobarbital-induced sleep.”

The scientists investigated the sleep-inducing effect of Romaine lettuce on mice who were put to sleep by pentobarbital, an anesthetic and anti-seizure drug. Because Romaine lettuce has a higher content of a compound called “lactucin,” it made people sleep longer than they would have normally. They tested the seed extract and the leaves themselves, seeds were stronger.

FYI, lactucin is part of the bigger compound lactucarium, which I mentioned earlier, so Romaine does actually have some sedating characteristics.

Iceberg didn’t make anyone snooze although

it’s fabulous for lettuce wraps!

Of the two lettuces, Romaine is what I recommend. Not because it causes drowsiness, trust me it’s not even remotely close to an Ambien! But because Romaine lettuce is full of antioxidants and chlorophyll which clean your internal biochemical gears. It also contains a lot of vitamin K and natural folate (methylation), plus what better way to consume delicious fiber?!

It’s also very high in potassium which normalizes blood pressure.

So this summer, try grilling lettuce along with your burgers and dogs. Here’s a recipe for you: Grilled Lettuce with Parmesan Ingredients 4 small Romaine hearts, rinsed 1 tablespoon of olive oil 2 TBLS favorite salad dressing 2 tea chopped fresh parsley Salt and Pepper to taste Optional: 1/2 cup fresh Parmesan or Goat Cheese Directions Cut an inch off of the top part of the Romaine leaves off, leaving the bottom core intact.

This allows you to grill the lettuce without it falling apart. Brush the lettuce with olive oil and place on your heated grill or skillet. Turn frequently to brown/char all sides. (They will slightly soften but they should not wilt or turn black). You want them crisp tender, and slightly charred. Once done, you can drizzle your favorite dressing on top. I like creamy Caesar dressing personally. Then sprinkle fresh parsley on top, and salt/pepper. Optionally, sprinkle Parmesan or fresh goat cheese.

Serve while warm.

Dear Joel Umbrella Thief Dear Joel, They say ‘Save it for a rainy day’, and at least that’s what I thought I did. We have an umbrella thief at work. When I went to use my umbrella yesterday, the one I just brought to work that morning, it was gone.

This is not the first time this has happened.

Why do people think nothing of taking someone’s umbrella? Have you ever done this? Has it ever happened to you? Do I have to buy a safe for my umbrella?

Answer I think umbrellas fall into their own category of items like scissors, tape and pens, even jackets and sweaters which have all have been a ‘quick borrow’ by many. The problem is returning it, which is especially hard with an umbrella, because you need it when you arrive at your

Ye s , I h a ve ‘borrowed’ an umbrella, but guilt and responsibility made me return it the same day. We have a big group in my office, so we keep a little area stocked with often ‘borrowed’ items, some even donated by co-workers. We have umbrellas, cloth grocery bags, sweatshirts, jumper cables and many more things. The rule is you must return anything you use. It has saved us lots of grief.

Where parents have minor children, they often want to establish trusts in their Wills for the benefit of the minor children in the event that both parents should pass away. In such a case, the money is held in the trust for the benefit of the children. A person called the “trustee” is appointed by the Will to manage the trust on behalf of the children.

Most trusts for the benefit of minor children allow the money to be used for their health, education, maintenance and support. The term “education” usually also refers to college education. There are several ways to go about doing this. The most common ways are the (1) common trust or (2) the separate trust.

In the common trust, all of the money is held until the youngest child reaches an age specified in the Will. Upon the youngest child reaching the specified age, the monies remaining in the trust are then distributed to all of the children. In a separate trust, the assets are divided among the children and a separate trust is created for each child and each child receives their trust when the each reach the specified age.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? The advantage of the common trust is that the money is held until the youngest child reaches the specified age. In this way, the trustee can use the money in the trust and if necessary spend more of the money in the trust on one child as opposed to the others. As a parent, most people would be

willing to spend everything they had on one child at the expense of the other children if that child required greater care than the other chil- Marc S. Galella Esq. dren. By using a common trust you give the trustee the flexibility to do this. The drawback to the common trust is that the older children will have to wait a longer period of time to receive their share of the inheritance depending upon the age of the youngest child. This could be a disadvantage if there is a significant age difference between the youngest and oldest child.

The advantage of the separate trust is that each child will receive their share of the estate when they reach the specified age.

This means that the older children do not have to wait for their inheritance until the youngest child reaches the specified age.

The drawback to the separate trust is the trustee can only use the money in that individual child’s trust for the care of that child.

If one child requires significantly more care than the other children, the trustee is limited to the amount of money in that child’s trust and cannot use the money in the other trusts.

Which trust is better for you for your is something to be discussed with your estate planning attorney when making up your Will.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Lawsuit:

Continued From Page 1 At a recent meeting of the Ocean County Freeholders, they authorized the county attorney to move forward on a federal suit against the state, assistant county administrator Michael Fiure said. There is no timeline yet on the lawsuit, as the attorney still needs to prepare the complaint.

Currently, when an inmate is brought into the Ocean County Jail, they are interviewed about their country of origin and where they are born, Fiure said. If there are any red f lags, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is notified.

It is then up to the discretion of ICE whether they want to interview the suspect about their residency status.

The State Attorney General issued a Directive at the end of last year that law enforcement agencies must not ask about residency status unless it is relevant to the crime being investigated.

The reason for this Directive is that, in order for police to do their jobs properly, they have to be trusted by the public. An undocumented immigrant who witnessed a crime or is the victim of a crime is less likely to report it to police if they fear deportation, according to the Attorney General’s office.

“This fear makes it more difficult for officers to solve crimes and bring suspects to justice, putting all New Jerseyans at risk,” Attorney General Gurbir Grewal wrote in the directive. “To be clear, nothing in this new Directive limits New Jersey law enforcement agencies or officers from enforcing state law – and nothing in this Directive should be read to imply that New Jersey provides “sanctuary” to those who commit crimes in this state. Any person who violates New Jersey’s criminal laws can and will be held accountable for their actions, no matter their immigration

status. Similarly, nothing in this Directive restricts New Jersey law enforcement agencies or officers from complying with the requirements of Federal law or valid court orders, including judicially-issued arrest warrants for individuals, regardless of immigration status.”

Basically, the directive states that local law enforcement shouldn’t be asking about residency or helping ICE just for the purposes of immigration enforcement.

They must work with ICE, however, for violent or sexual crimes such as: Any fi rst or second degree offense, as defi ned in N.J.S.A 2C:43-1; • Any indictable domestic violence offense defi ned in N.J.S.A. 2C:25-19; • A list of other crimes such as assault, endangering the welfare of children, burglary, witness tampering, eluding, stalking, and more.

The directive also states that law enforcement can no longer keep an office for ICE, and the county is complying with that, Fiure said. The ICE officer has worked remotely in the past, so there is really little difference.

The county will continue to operate as they have been until the lawsuit comes to fruition, he said. They will still question suspects about their nation of origin and report suspicions to ICE. State: No Lawsuit Needed The State Attorney General’s office, when reached for comment by this newspaper, stated that there is nothing in the directive that says the county cannot continue working with ICE in the way that it has been.

“Nothing in the Directive restricts officers from complying with the requirements of federal law, including 8 U.S.C. § 1373,” read a statement from Peter Aseltine, spokesman for the Attorney General’s office.

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.

Learn To Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

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 fi replace. 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 garage.

“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.

For more information on CO poisoning, visit the poison center at njpies.org.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 20 - july 26

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When you are filled with enthusiasm you can achieve everything you can imagine. You may realize that it is necessary to take steps to make your dreams come true. Friends will offer advice and encouragement this week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone may offer ideas that capture your imagination and lure you away from dull chores. Enjoy pleasant escapes from the ordinary but don’t let them cause misunderstandings or disrupt your schedule this week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Strike a balance between income and outflow. In the week ahead you might notice that you often spend money spontaneously or purchase items on a whim. This might be a good time to develop a savings strategy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Greener pastures might grow more attractive. You may sometimes feel limited or frustrated by the necessities of modern life. Ambitious people may influence your outlook and impact daily routines as the week unfolds.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your ideas and actions can spark joy as well as passion in the week to come. Sidestep a workplace struggle for dominance and focus your energies on making a valuable vision come true. Embrace wise business strategies.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Plant the seeds and success will sprout. Home fires may burn brightly, and you may benefit from harmonious family dynamics and team spirit. Your negotiation skills are in top form as the week begins.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A loved one may seem changeable or distant right now, but in the end, true love conquers all. In the week ahead your social life could have ups and downs as you may be challenged to deal with various people with differing agendas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your past kindnesses and generosity will be rewarded. If you have a powerful financial need it is quite possible that your prayers will be answered this week. An acquaintance could give you a valuable tip.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might hit the lottery of love in the week ahead.

The bonds of friendships can grow tighter and your social life could be buzzing. You may find it easier than usual to act on inspiring and romantic notions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Tap into the creative energy and use your imagination to follow an idea to a satisfactory conclusion. You can launch something important in the week ahead if you are willing to put ego and control issues aside.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): All’s well that ends well. Your home or the workplace could seem like a hotbed of intrigue or crossed signals for short periods as this week unfolds, but issues will be resolved easily if you take a partner’s advice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the week ahead, partners and friends may often be more willing to discuss finance than romance. If you wait for the right opening, however, you will have a chance to express your enduring affections.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Try This Quick, Light Dish When It’s Just Too Hot To Cook Outdoors

By Wolfgang Puck What can a food lover do in summertime when it’s too hot to go outside and grill? The answer is easy: Return to the stove with a recipe that’s so quick, satisfying and light that you’ll forget all about cooking outdoors.

The classic technique of sauteing is incomparably easy and so fast that you may sit down to your meal and blink your eyes in astonishment that something so delicious has almost magically appeared on your table.

As you may know, the word “saute” comes to us from the French word for “jump,” and in the kitchen it refers to cooking relatively small pieces of food over high heat in a wide, shallow pan - known as a saute pan, of course - with curving sides that help the food stay in the pan as you briskly stir or toss them. Once the food has cooked through in minutes, you add some flavorful liquid and stir and scrape to deglaze the pan deposits, producing a delicious sauce that completes the dish.

For a perfect example of this technique, look no further than my recipe for shrimp with pink peppercorn sauce. The medium-sized shrimp called for here take only a few minutes to cook through once you’ve started tossing them in the saute pan; any longer, and they would go from tender and juicy to rubbery and dry.

Once the shrimp have been sauteed and set aside to keep warm, the sauce comes together almost as quickly. First you deglaze the pan with a splash of dry vermouth (plus some minced shallot for extra flavor); then reduce some fish stock and enrich it with a little butter.

To add an extra dimension of flavor, I also like to include a tablespoon of whole pink peppercorns (available in well-stocked markets, in gourmet food shops or online), which have a bright, sharp, slightly sweet flavor. Named because they’re the same general size and shape as black and white peppercorns, though not related to them, these dried, rose-colored berries come from the Peruvian peppertree. (Since that tree is a member of the cashew family, anyone with tree nut allergies would be well advised to avoid the peppercorns. But you could add another sharp-tasting accent to the sauce such as a squeeze of lemon juice or some drained capers.)

To complete this quick indoor dish - which works well either as an appetizer or, in larger portions, as a light main course - I like to serve it on a bed of baby spinach. And what’s the easiest way to cook that spinach? You guessed it: sauteing!

SHRIMP WITH PINK PEPPERCORN SAUCE Serves 4 to 6 24 medium-sized plump fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left attached if you like Kosher salt Coarsely ground black pepper 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 shallot, minced 3 tablespoons dry white vermouth 1 cup (250 mL) homemade fish stock (recipe follows) or good-quality store-bought fish stock 1 tablespoon pink peppercorns 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1/2 pound (500 g) baby spinach leaves, thoroughly rinsed and dried, stems removed

Season the shrimp lightly all over with salt and pepper.

Heat a large saute pan over high heat until very hot.

Drizzle in the oil, add the shrimp, and saute, stirring them frequently and turning them over to make sure they cook on both sides, until uniformly pink and opaque white, about 4 minutes total. Remove them to a covered dish, and keep warm.

Add the minced shallot to the pan, saute briefly just until fragrant, and then add the vermouth; quickly stir and scrape with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan deposits. Immediately add the stock and pink peppercorns; boil, stirring frequently, until the liquid has reduced by about a third, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a wire whisk, add 4 tablespoons of the butter a few pieces at a time, whisking until fully incorporated before adding each of the few pieces, to form a creamy sauce. Set aside, cover, and keep warm.

In another saute pan over medium-high heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook, watching carefully, just until it begins to turn light brown. Immediately add the spinach, reduce the heat to medium, sprinkle lightly with salt, and stir the spinach just until it has uniformly wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.

To serve, divide the spinach among the centers of heated serving plates. Divide the shrimp among the plates, placing them neatly around and slightly overlapping the spinach. Drizzle the sauce and pink peppercorns over and around the shrimp. Serve immediately.

FISH STOCK Makes about 1 quart (1 L) 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 pounds fish bones, cut or broken into pieces, from any saltwater fish except salmon 1 carrot, peeled and sliced 1/2 yellow onion, peeled and sliced 1 shallot, peeled and sliced 1/2 stalk celery, sliced, leaves reserved 2 cups (500 mL) dry white wine 1 sprig Italian parsley 1 sprig fresh thyme 1 bay leaf 1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns Water In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over moderate heat. Add the fish bones, carrot, onion, shallot and celery; saute, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the vegetables start to soften, about 10 minutes.

Add the wine, and stir and scrape to deglaze the pan deposits. Add the reserved celery leaves, parsley, thyme, bay leaf and peppercorns. Add enough water to cover all the ingredients.

Raise the heat slightly, and bring the liquid to a boil; then, reduce the heat to maintain a brisk simmer.

Cook, uncovered, for 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, line a strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth and place it above a heatproof bowl.

When the stock is done simmering, remove it from the heat and pour it through the strainer. Use immediately, letting any unused stock to cool to room temperature before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days or in the freezer for up to four months.
