By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Township officials said they would support and join a lawsuit the county will file against the state regarding how police officers interact with suspected undocumented immigrants.

Local officials said that the state’s new rules are preventing them from doing their jobs and leave them open to retaliation from the state if they break the new rules. The state has responded that the local officials don’t need to change what they are doing and that the lawsuit is unneeded.

The State Attorney General issued an Immigrant Trust 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 - See Page 4)

SEASIDE PARK – Dogs, pets, horses, and other animals are prohibited from the beach and boardwalk at all times.

Borough Ordinances state no animals are allowed on the beach or boardwalk at any time, in all seasons. Violators may be summoned and fined. The only exception to this is for registered service animals

At a recent meeting, the Ocean County Freeholders authorized the county attorney to move forward on a federal suit against the state, an official said. If successful, the lawsuit would enable the county to continue following federal guidelines. There is no timeline yet on the lawsuit, as the attorney still needs to prepare the complaint.

The Berkeley Township Council passed a resolution authorizing the township attorney to join in this lawsuit.

“Under the Directive, local, county and state law enforcement personnel are ordered not to stop, search or detain immigrants

at the request of ICE, except in cases of serious or violent crimes, or final deportation orders,” the resolution reads. “Several local Ocean County departments, such as the Ocean County Jail, have continued to provide information to ICE despite the Directive, leaving them susceptible to reprimand from the State.”

Currently, when an inmate is brought into the Ocean County Jail, they are interviewed about their country of origin and where they are born. If there are any red flags, 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.

Continued From Page 1 “But I’m smarter than your average broom pusher. Well, smarter than most of the teachers and administrators in this dump, let’s put it that way. If I’ve learned anything from years toiling away in this place, it’s that each decision you make affects your future. Or rather, make sure you think three or four moves ahead of everybody.”

But this boss, Mr. Sanders, is just one of many. As the narrator tells us, when you’re the school janitor, everyone is your boss. In the evolutionary pool of the public school system, janitors are the pond scum - no, no, lower than pond scum - on the chain.

It’s the microcosmic dystopian satire in “The Day I Clean My Last Toilet,” the first novel-length work from author and Toms River native J.R. Warnet. Warnet, 37, a graduate of Stockton University, has degrees in creative writing, general education and marine environmental science. Its setting and nameless narrator, “The Janitor” (no relation to the Scrubs character*, whose name was eventually revealed in the season eight finale), point to bigger realities outside institutional bureaucracy. “[The story] is about what can happen in a job that you work at for so many years and you need to spice things up a bit,” Warnet said.

Writing the book was medicine for him. He started it back in the early aughts, not aiming for a book per se, but a way to release his creativity while struggling through health problems, college, a full-time and second job.

“I needed a creative outlet, to try to put

The Berkeley Times, July 27, 2019, Page 5 things down on paper. An artist will paint.

A musician will write songs. I needed a way to put things out there, so I started writing satire, fiction. I needed to put something on paper so I didn’t go stir crazy.”

His fictional janitor graduated college and found there were no jobs waiting for him. The promises attached to the degree evaporated.

So he stayed in a job, and stayed in a job, and stayed in a job he hated, to make ends meet.

Two of Warnet’s writerly heroes - novelist Stephen King and memoirist David Sedaris - started their work lives as janitors. Warnet has also worked in the custodial arts for more than 20 years. Does anyone really know the school janitor? They emerge at the end of things: end of lunch, end of the assembly, end of the day, and end of the school year.

What is their point of view of jobs and life and messes?

“Nobody really knows the school janitor.

They go unseen. You might see them but you don’t interact with them. There’s a nostalgia in that, in society, that you’re not supposed to interact with the janitor. Or, this person is obviously doing this for a reason. They can’t work anywhere else. So I thought it would be interesting to see things from that point of view.”

The novel started as vignettes, little glimpses in time of a janitor’s day interacting with staff and students at some nondescript Ocean County school. The reader sees The Janitor’s compassionate side with down-on-their-luck underlings; his taking down Mr. Sanders’ right-hand man that involves Ancestry.com and Guinness; his receiving sage advice from a jaded union lifer who told him not to be a

“dumbass loser.” He might be a loser, but he’s a three-steps-ahead loser.

Warnet never had one particular job on his Curriculum Vitae that birthed The Janitor, or the book.

“A lot of people have to go to school or go to trade school. They’re ready to take on the world. And when they leave college or trade school, there are 10,000 people waiting for one job. So people have to take odds-andends jobs to get by. People work jobs they’re severely overqualified for, but they still have to do it. Everybody’s got health insurance they need. You get to a point where you have to make certain sacrifices to get by, and you do it,” Warnet said. “Some people wake up every day loving their job, other people don’t.

But both still have to do their jobs.”

In a 2014 interview with Maclean’s, comedian and author Martin Short said this about comedy: “Comedy is so subjective.

If you trip and fall down, some people will laugh and some people will say ‘Oh, physical comedy is so pedestrian.’ Some people look at Three Stooges as lowbrow; some people consider them artists. No one is wrong. It’s just a personal take.”

Warnet let his own sense of humor guide his writing, although The Janitor thinks himself a tragic figure.

“If it makes me laugh and I can’t stop laughing, I know it’s going to be good. For the longest time I’ve watched stand-up comedians.

I’ve always had a bit of a dark sense of humor.

When I would write and read it out loud, I would try to get the character’s voice. I would read it aloud and if it sounded funny, I would work with it. If it didn’t, I would scratch it and

edit it and try something else.”

His book has gotten solid reviews on Amazon.com. “I couldn’t put this book down. The first few chapters I laughed my butt off and the last few chapters, I was captured by the crazy characters and couldn’t wait to see how it was going to end. Pick up this book if you are looking to laugh! Such a page turner!” one reader praised.

Warnet has been giving readings at Barnes & Noble bookstores. His next book signing is at the Menlo Park store July 27. Details aren’t solid yet but he has a radio interview in the work with a New York City station in early August. He’s also recording an audio version of his book, and a second book told through The Janitor’s eyes.

“A lot of people find a lot of humor in the book, and it’s a different angle that they’re very receptive to,” Warnet said. And his audience he meets encompasses all sorts, not just disillusioned college grads with mortgage-sized student loans living in their childhood bedrooms. He agrees that not everyone will find “The Day I Clean My Last Toilet” funny or appreciate and understand its often rough language. That’s okay. He wants people struggling to find work or find fulfilling, full-time work to laugh at the absurdities.

“The days of working your dream job are over. You always have to make money somehow. We’ll just hit the lottery, which is what I’ve been trying as well.”

Or, you could buy his book. It’s available online on Amazon.com and BN.com. Check with local brick and mortar bookstores for availability. *Glenn Matthews

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

Lawmakers: School Cuts In Adopted State Budget Are Unconscionable CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove

TRENTON – Senator Christopher Connors, Assemblyman Brian Rumpf, and Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove lambasted the deep and painful school funding cuts to local

school districts in the recently adopted FY 2020 State Budget that was passed by the Legislature and signed by Governor Murphy.

The 9th District delegation is-

sued the following statement: “Students, education professionals, parents and taxpayers in our area will pay a heavy price for Trenton’s unwillingness to admit that the state’s school funding formula is fundamentally flawed and politicized.

“For all the empty rhetoric and grandstanding about fairness and fully funding public education, the State Budget passed by the Legislature and signed by Governor Murphy cuts funding to school dis-

tricts in our area, including Superstorm Sandy-impacted districts. Like many of our constituents, we found this to be unconscionable. That’s why we voted against the State Budget and legislation appropriating millions of dollars to cover the legal costs for illegal aliens facing deportation.

“Unquestionably, it’s a continuation and expansion of the longstanding but failed education policy that treats suburban and rural areas disparately in terms of school funding. As

urban areas continue to receive a windfall of funding teachers, parents and taxpayers in school districts that had their funding cut will be lectured by a tone-deaf Trenton on how to do more with less.

“The rolling impact of a second consecutive year of school funding cuts is already being felt by virtue of the fact that school districts are laying off teachers and other positions.

As always, we stand with our constituents in demanding reform that takes politics out

of how our schools are funded by the state.”

In an effort to build a coalition of concerned citizens who are demanding that the State’s school funding formula be reformed to more effectively serve the needs of residents, our delegation has started an online “Save our Schools” petition which allows persons to actively engage in this critical policy debate.

The online petition can be signed at: senatenj.com/saveourschools/.

Murphy: State Sues IRS Over Deduction Limit Imposed On Charity

TRENTON – Acting to protect state taxpayers from the Trump Administration’s repeated efforts to unfairly target them, Governor Phil Murphy and Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal announced that New Jersey has filed a federal lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the U.S. Treasury Department.

Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the lawsuit seeks to strike down a new IRS rule that would prevent New Jersey residents from obtaining a full federal charitable deduction whenever they contribute to local governments and other qualifying institutions and receive tax credits in return.

The federal government began targeting states like New Jersey two years ago when it enacted a 2017 tax overhaul that placed, for the first time, a $10,000 cap on the federal deduction for state and local taxes (SALT). The SALT cap disproportionately harmed taxpayers in New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York.

At the time, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin – named as a defendant in the lawsuit – confirmed that the SALT deduction cap was intended to “send a message” to states like New Jersey that they would need to change their tax policies.

To ease the burden of New Jersey taxpayers, Governor Murphy signed S1893/A3499 into law, which allowed residents to make charitable contributions to qualifying local institutions, and to receive

partial tax credits of up to 90 percent against their local property tax bills when they did so.

At least 33 states have developed over 100 charitable contributions programs, similar to the one established by S1893/ A3499, that provide a state or local tax benefit in return for a charitable contribution to a qualifying entity under Section 170(c). These programs incentivize individuals to donate to causes ranging from natural resource preservation and aid for higher education to domestic violence shelters.

The IRS consistently treated charitable contributions made pursuant to these programs as fully deductible under federal tax law.

But when New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut decided to establish such programs, the IRS changed its mind, and issued a new rule aimed at nullifying the tax benefit New Jersey was making available to charitable givers. The Final Rule requires taxpayers to subtract the value of any state and local tax credits they receive for charitable giving from their federal charitable contribution deduction.

The requirement is unprecedented in the 101-year history of the charitable deduction, and flies in the face of prior IRS policy statements and tax court rulings on the issue.

The New Jersey-led lawsuit describes IRS’s action as a “radical break” from historic precedent, and describes the rule as arbitrary, outside the agency’s statutory authority,

and a violation of the federal Administrative Procedures Act. In addition to being unlawful, the complaint asserts, the rule threatens economic harm to New Jersey and other states by discouraging charitable giving, and by depriving such local entities as school districts, municipalities, and counties of important funding. Indeed, because the law signed by Governor Murphy does not provide dollar-for-dollar tax credits, contributions made pursuant to that program would yield a net increase in local revenues, which local governments could use on vital services like education.

“This is another unfair attack on our states coming out of Washington,” said Attorney General Grewal. “These tax credit programs were fine when 33 states had them. But when New Jersey, New York and Connecticut followed suit, the IRS adopted brand new rules to shut them down.

As I promised when the IRS first proposed this rule, we’re taking the IRS to court to fight back.”

The states of New York and Connecticut joined the lawsuit, which Governor Murphy and Attorney General Grewal announced at the South Orange Fire Department.

“This is not a fight we asked for, but it is one we are proud to wage - on behalf of our taxpayers, and the countless others in our fellow states who are realizing now that they are financial collateral damage to the Trump administration’s rank politicization of the tax

code,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “We are committed to fighting Washington to end this unfair and unconstitutional tax on New Jersey’s taxpayers.”

“The Trump administration and the IRS are trying to undermine states’ efforts to protect our taxpayers against the unprecedented, unlawful and politically motivated capping of the SALT deduction,” said Governor Andrew Cuomo.

“The final IRS rule flies in the face of a century of federal tax law that says state choices to provide tax incentives for charitable donations do not

President & Publisher Stewart Swann

affect the federal deductibility of those gifts. Our message to Mr. Trump and the IRS is simple: we look forward to seeing you in court.”

“The federal tax reforms approved by Congress were promoted as a tax cut, but in reality they’ve resulted in a tax hike for millions of citizens, including thousands here in Connecticut,” said Governor Ned Lamont. “This was a purely partisan bill and – let’s be frank – aimed directly at blue states like Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey.

It’s unfair, discriminatory, and

unconstitutional.”

“Our message to the IRS today is simple. No matter how many times you change your rules - from capping the SALT deduction to reversing your longstanding approach to charitable donations - we will challenge you in court,” said New Jersey Attorney General Grewal. “Our residents already pay more to the federal government than we get in return. That is why I remain committed to standing up for New Jersey taxpayers in the face of this onslaught coming out of Washington.”

EYELIDS LIKE LOWERED WINDOW SHADES

The condition called “ptosis” is characterized by a drooping eyelid, which occurs when the nerve that works the levator muscle (which raises the eyelid) becomes damaged.

This can happen as the result of a stroke or by normal aging. When ptosis of the eyelid interferes with vision or dramatically affects appearance, surgical repair may be undertaken.

The procedure involves shortening the levator muscle and removing some of the overlying skin or some of the conjunctiva (the thin, slippery membrane that covers the inner aspect of the eyelids). Care must be taken to remove just the right amount of tissue so that the eyes will close fully. Otherwise, the eyes will be vulnerable to dryness and irritation from exposure to air.

Prior to a treatment plan, your doctor will complete a comprehensive eye exam along with some other tests to determine the cause of the ptosis. While the treatment does depend on the cause of the condition, surgery to repair the eyelid function is the most common treatment.

We know there are a lot of options for eye care services in and out of New Jersey, and to help you make the right choices, SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES offers a unique combination of experience, skill sets, flexibility and convenience starting with our physicians whose main focus is making sure our patients are informed and educated about all of their vision needs. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call 732-349-5622.

–Photo by Jennifer Peacock Robert McKinley and his wife, center, were honored by (from left) Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines, Freeholder John P. Kelly, Michael T. Mangum, Director of the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation, and Mary Jane Bavais, Assistant Director of the Department.

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – We’re not sure how Mrs. McKinley feels about this, but her husband Robert said the happiest day of his life is when he got a phone call about a job.

That job was with the Ocean County Parks department. The phone call was from Aubrey Clayton. And Robert McKinley has been on the job for 60 years as of July 1.

While the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders was celebrating July as its “parks and recreation” month, they also presented a proclamation to McKinley for his years of service in the parks department since July 1, 1959.

The parks system has grown to encompass 27 active and passive parks and conservation areas.

“I’ve known Bobby my whole life. Besides his family, we went to the same church. I’d also babysat for his sister’s children when I was in high school,” Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines. “He is a dedicated worker. He also worked for my father. My father worked for the parks department for more than 30 years. …I am proud of the [Ocean County Parks System], and most definitely to Bobby for the dedication you have done. You really have been there. Any time they’ve needed you, you’ve always been there.”

McKinley is a laborer with the department still,

and has no immediate plans to retire.

The proclamation reads, in part: “Whether it’s running the front end loader for endless projects, setting up the county mobile stage for special events, operating specialized equipment to improve facilities, or extending his wisdom and knowledge to new employees, Bobby makes a positive impact for everyone to enjoy.”

Sixty years ago, simply put, McKinley needed a job.

“I really didn’t know what I was going to do with my future back in the ’50s when I got out of school. …I had applications in all over the place. Lily Clayton, Aubrey’s wife, is the one that started the ball rolling. She was visiting my mother…and she was on the sun porch when I came home one day, and my mother asked me how I was going with the applications, and I said I got them in there, but I can’t guarantee anything. That very night, Lily told Aubrey, and he calls me that very night and says, ‘How would you like to work in the park?’ And I thought he was kidding me. He said he wanted to see me at the shop the following day. I couldn’t sleep that night because…I knew the guys working there.

So I went down and he started the paperwork going and, here I am.”

There you are Bobby. No kidding.

PROMPT & PROFESSIONAL REPRESENTATION

www.sfhlaw.com

By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Toms River police, corroborated with witness accounts, state that a Board of Education member accidentally ran his truck off the road after pursuing someone who cut him off.

Daniel Leonard, 42, of Beachwood, was charged with reckless driving and failing to maintain a lane on July 6, police reported.

Leonard has since disputed these charges, and has hired an attorney to represent him.

According to a police report, Leonard was driving north on Hooper Avenue. When traffic merged near Edken Lane, his truck was cut off by a white Audi. This led to a pursuit where Leonard allegedly chased the car, lost control of his own vehicle, and wound up totaling it against a tree in an embankment off the intersection with Bay Avenue.

Three independent witnesses at the scene told the responding officer that Leonard’s truck was speeding and appeared to be chasing the Audi.

It left the roadway when it was going too fast to safely negotiate an offramp.

Police said that Leonard’s version of the story was that he was cut off by the Audi near the intersection with Edkin Avenue. He said he was following behind the Audi after that at a normal rate of speed but was then cut off again when the Audi went east on Bay Avenue.

“Driver #1’s (Leonard) statement changed multiple times from his original statement,” the officer wrote in the report. “Driver #1 was observed to be agitated and uncooperative with police during the crash investigation.”

Meanwhile, the driver of the Audi, Robert Mason, had gone to the police department to report the incident.

His version was that he was in the middle lane going northbound on Hooper, stopped at the intersection at Edkin. When the lanes merged, his Audi was in front of Leonard’s truck. The truck’s driver, Leonard, began honking and tailgating, according to Mason’s description on the police report.

At one point, Mason said he turned off into the TD Bank near Caudina Avenue but claimed that the truck followed, so he got back onto Hooper, where the chase continued on the shoulder.

“As Mason approached the exit ramp for eastbound Bay Avenue, he suddenly entered the ramp at a high rate of speed. In doing so, vehicle #1 attempted to follow, but was unsuccessful,” the

police report stated. “Mason added that he was fearful of his life as vehicle #1 was following him.”

The officer writing the report stated that Leonard was at fault due to his conflicting statements, his demeanor when speaking with police, and that the distance his truck travelled into the embankment was indicative of a high rate of speed.

Leonard and his passenger, Christopher McGuire of Bayville, suffered minor injuries at the scene.

They refused medical attention and informed police that they would go to Community Medical Center in Toms River on their own.

On social media, Leonard disputed the charges and said he will be represented by attorney S. Karl Mohel. He also criticized online articles about the incident.

He noted that the police report does not say “road rage” and that it doesn’t mention the road conditions. He said it was raining that day and there was gravel on the turn.

“I nearly died and was not arrested, had seat belt on, not drinking, full insurance and registration and damaged no property, people or vehicles,” he said. “I held the steering wheel steady and tried to brake numerous times as you can see…but 9,000 pounds on wet grass and a gravely turn won.”

He said the driver of the Audi hit the brakes just before the crash, which contributed to his loss of control. He asserted that the driver fabricated the story to the police to cover himself once he saw the truck behind him go off the road.

He said he was agitated at the scene for obvious reasons, having a totaled truck and being in a serious crash.

Leonard noted that the only reason a relatively minor crash would get media coverage is because of his position as an elected official.

The legal goings-on of elected officials do tend to make the news.

Former Board of Education member Robert Onofrietti had accused him of stalking two years ago after seeing him driving by his house. This issue made the news in several venues. Police responded to the scene but saw no criminal activity.

After that, Onofrietti said he and Leonard sat down and discussed it like adults.

“We were always friends before and we discovered there were people who had a vested interest in having us fight,” he said. “It has been dropped and I consider Dan a friend.”

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

Do You Get What You Pay For?

We have become more and more health conscious. Visits to the dentist, eye doctor and family doctor have increased dramatically. Unfortunately, visits to the audiologist for suspicion of hearing loss have decreased. Most people are so busy visiting their doctors they have a tendency to put off seeking hearing health care for at least several years. As a general guideline, if you are asking your family or friends to repeat information on a daily basis, you should seek the services of an audiologist and have your hearing completely evaluated.

Technology in the hearing aid world has dramatically blossomed. More and more individuals with hearing loss are interested in digital technology as opposed to conventional hearing aids, which are a thing of the past. A digital system incorporates listening from both ears through a computer which monitors speech sounds over a million times a second. Satisfaction studies clearly support the use of digital systems over conventional analog hearing aids. In my opinion, you get what you pay for.

Digital hearing systems incorporating multiple microphone technology, enhanced noise reduction capabilities, data

logging and/or artificial intelligence are strongly recommended over those first generation digital hearing systems. The smaller completely-in-the-canal digital hearing systems (i.e. almost invisible hearing aids) should not increase the cost of hearing instruments. The technology within the hearing instrument determines the cost. As a general rule of thumb, in my opinion, the smaller the hearing aid, the more problems you will have with it.

As a reminder, insist on a 30- to 75day trial period with all digital hearing systems. Since you have a greater investment, your expectations regarding communication improvement should be higher. In my opinion, some of the more advanced digital hearing systems are manufactured by Phonak, Siemens, Sonic Innovations, GN Resound and Oticon.

If you are asking people to repeat, turning the TV or radio louder than normal or if your family or friends are complaining that you have a hearing problem, I would strongly encourage you to have your hearing evaluated by an audiologist. If you are in need of amplification, remember that you always get what you pay for.

Protect Yourself With Fruit

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Some people eat nothing but fruit. They are called fruitarians. While I do not advocate this diet for everyone, I do see the virtues in fruits! I highly recommend you include fruits in your diet. The primary reason is they taste great, give you natural fiber and contain natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. This will tamp down some of the pain cytokines that your body has run amok with. Here are some fruits of the season, and the primary reason I recommend them.

Apricots Apricots are yellow-orange and the color comes from beta carotene which is a precursor to vitamin A. They also contain lutein and zeaxanthin. These are all useful for vision. Apricots have been studied for their beneficial role in fatty liver.

Pomegranates These fruits contain compounds that naturally lower your blood pressure. If you drink more than say a shot glass per day, and you’re also taking blood pressure medications, your numbers may go too low. Pomegranate juice has another helpful effect on the body in that is a natural, mild blood thinner.

Fig fruit.

Figs are now being studied for their ability to help with diabetes, as well as hypertension. They are high in potassium (and low in sodium) which means they can reduce blood pressure. Figs contain abscisic acid, which has been studied for its ability to help with carbohydrate metabolism and blood sugar.

This fruit extract is in GlucoScript Max. Strawberries Strawberries are red from the anthocyanins. These gorgeous fruits contain ferulic acid have been shown to have a remarkably high scavenging activity toward chemically

generated radicals, thus making them effective in inhibiting oxidation of human LDLs Blackberries These contain antibacterial compounds that are thought to help with gum disease.

They also contain lot of quercetin and ellagic acid which taken together act as very strong free-radical scavengers and protect your cells from DNA damage. This could be helpful if you have a history of cancer.

Grapefruits This fruit can help with appetite suppression and may be useful as an adjunctive to your weight loss program and exercise regimen.

It can spark more production of cholecystokinin which is a ‘stop sign’ for eating.

Grapefruit rind (and orange rind) contain a lot of naringen, a compound that causes a bitter taste in the fruit. This compound is the one that interacts with some antihistamines and statins. That said, naringen is also known for its cough-suppressant action, and ability to help out with asthma.

Apples These could help reduce stroke, compliments of the high amount of quercetin.

This effect was even confirmed by a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition which evaluated 9,208 men and women, concluding, “The intake of apples is related to a decreased risk of thrombotic stroke.”

Raspberries The fruit itself contains vitamin C, quercetin and ellagic acid. These are all strong antioxidants and fight cancer and inflammation. The leaves of raspberries have been used to create commercial teas which are widely available.

The leaves contain fragarine, which is a strong inhibitor of uterine contractions. In other words, a cup of raspberry leaf tea can help with PMS.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right AutomobileRobert C. Shea Esq. Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates

In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself.

Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment.

When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices; you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy.

We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy.

The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries.

The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets.

We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured.

The Standard Policy does provide med-

ical expense benefits (PIP) coverage which Michael J. Deem includes medical expenses up to $250,000.00 per person per accident.

The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the collision then you and your family are covered for your losses.

When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.”

By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing.

Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets.

–Photo by Jennifer Peacock Ocean County Sheriff’s officers Christine Farrell and Christopher Jarin pose with some of the Ocean County Chiefs of Police Public Safety Cadets after they were recognized by the freeholders for their win at the state youth law enforcement competition at Stockton University.

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. The county-side program was started to fi ll in the gaps for those towns that don’t have a program, but have students ages 14-21 who are interested in exploring law enforcement careers.

This year at the competition, the cadets placed • Second, drill team • Second, burglary in progress response • First, shoot/don’t shoot • Second, arrest, search and seizure response • Third, arrest, search and seizure

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Summer Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days Set

OCEAN COU NTY – The summer is a great time to dispose of old paint, pesticides and a host of other household chemicals that may be collecting in closets, garages and basements.

The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management is again scheduling a series of Household Hazardous Waste collection days later this summer.

“This is the perfect opportunity to clean out those old products that can pose a threat to the environment and should not be thrown away with everyday trash,” said Freeholder Gary Quinn, liaison to the Department of Solid Waste Management.

Waste can be brought to three locations on three separate dates. The program is free, but space is limited and preregistration is strongly suggested.

Collection days are set for: • August 10 at the Jackson Municipal Building parking lot, 95 West Veterans Highway, Jackson. Register by calling 732-367-0802.

• September 7 at the Long Beach Township Department of Public Works, 7910 Long Beach Boulevard. Please call 609978-0913 to register.

The drop off locations will be open from 9 am to 3 pm. County residents may bring their waste to the closest or most convenient drop off.

Materials accepted at the household hazardous waste collection sites include: paints, thinners, boat paints, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides and herbi-

cides, aerosol cans, auto products, toilet and drain cleaners, silver polishes, oven cleaners, photographic chemicals, rug and upholstery cleaners, polishes and bleaches, waste oil and used gasoline.

Materials not accepted include oxygen tanks and boat flares.

Residents can drop off a maximum of 200 pounds of dry material and 20 gallons of liquid at the County’s household hazardous waste collection sites. No containers over five gallons will be accepted.

Waste will be accepted only from county residents and farmers. Businesses and government agencies are not eligible.

Program information is also on the county website at www.co.ocean.nj.us/recycle.

“I’m proud to say that this is the 30th year that the county has run these collections and over the past 3 decades our residents have helped to safely dispose of more than 15 million pounds of hazardous materials,” said Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines.

Household hazardous waste collection dates earlier this spring saw 232,965 pounds of material collected.

Quinn said residents who miss a date should contact their municipal recycling centers and the county’s recycling centers, which allow for year-round drop off of a host of materials including used paint, motor oil and car batteries.

“Our residents should check with us or their local recycling center to determine what is accepted year-round, eliminating the need to store potentially hazardous items in their home,” Quinn said.

Beach Ball A Palooza

TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Parks host Beach Ball A Palooza on August 2!

This event is a fun, free night on the Silver

Bay featuring a live band, Jimmy & the Parrots, food trucks, pontoon boat ride, crafts and more. Bring a blanket or chairs.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Lighten Up Your Summer Dessert With Seasonal Stone Fruit

By Wolfgang Puck When I walk through my local farmers market right now, I couldn’t be happier. Why? We’re right in the middle of summer stone fruit season. Peaches.

Nectarines. Apricots. Plums. Cherries. Some of the most succulent fruits imaginable are at their peak right now. I could make a meal for myself by just strolling past the stalls and enjoying all the samples!

Nothing quite matches the simple pleasure of eating these juicy fruits by hand. But eventually, people who love to cook want to try creating something with them in the kitchen. Because stone fruit are so juicy and sweet, along with a wonderful touch of acidity, they find their way happily into not only sweet recipes but also savory ones. I’ve enjoyed spicy barbecue sauces and chutneys made from them, as well as chunks of the fresh fruit tossed into chicken or seafood salads.

Naturally, though, you’ll get around to making a summer fruit dessert. There are delicious peach, apricot or cherry ice creams, and pies beyond description; not to mention cakes and sweet quick breads studded with juicy, jewel-like nuggets.

For me, however, the ultimate summer desserts have got to be cobblers. Compotes of cooked fruit topped with thin, rustic-looking layers of pastry or biscuit dough and then baked in the oven until golden-brown on top and bubbling underneath. The name alone is so much fun, suggesting something homespun that has been “cobbled” together. (Some food historians will also tell you that rough pieces of cobbler dough placed on top of the filling resemble an old-fashioned cobblestone street.)

I must admit, though, that I do sometimes have one problem with cobblers: Their dough toppings can feel a bit heavy on the stomach, especially at the end of a generous meal on a hot summer evening.

So, what can you do?

Many years ago, at Spago, we came up with an ingenious solution: replacing the traditional heavier topping with one of the lightest forms of pastry imaginable. Phyllo, the ultra-thin sheets of dough popular in the Middle East, is readily available.

(You can find premade packaged phyllo dough in the freezer case of well-stocked supermarkets, or buy it online. Thaw the dough before use, following the manufacturer’s instructions.)

As described in the following recipe, the phyllo dough is easily cut into thin strips that are arranged into nest-like ring shapes, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and briefly baked. Then, once the fruit mixture (here, a combination of nectarines, cherries, apricots ad blackberries) has been cooked in the oven in individual ramekins, each serving is topped with its own “nest” of crispy, flavorful, golden phyllo.

It’s all so simple, and sure to earn the delighted admiration of your summertime dinner guests.

1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup (60 mL) all-purpose flour 1 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise, seeds scraped out and reserved with the pod 1 cinnamon stick Pinch freshly grated nutmeg 4 cups (1 L) fresh blackberries 1/3 cup (85 mL) Streusel (recipe follows) Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 360 F (175 C). With nonstick spray, coat the insides of 8 ramekins, each 4 1/2 inches (11.4 cm) wide by 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep. Set aside.

For the phyllo nests: Unwrap the phyllo, but leave the sheets rolled up together. On a clean cutting board, use a sharp knife to cut the roll crosswise into 1/4-inch (6-mm) slices. Gently toss to separate into loose strips. You should have about 8 cups (2 L).

In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure 1 cup of loosely packed phyllo strips, and arrange in a 4-inch (10-cm) ring on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo for a total of 8 rings.

Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, spray lightly with nonstick spray, and bake until golden brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Bring a kettle of water to a boil.

For the cobbler filling, in a medium saucepan combine the nectarines, cherries, apricots, sugar, lemon juice, flour, vanilla seeds and pod, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, just until the juices start to thicken but the fruit is still firm, about 5 minutes.

Remove the vanilla pod and cinnamon stick. Stir in the blackberries. Divide the mixture evenly among the ramekins. Sprinkle streusel on top.

Place the ramekins in a baking pan. Pull out the oven rack partway and place the pan on it. Then, carefully pour boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Carefully slide the rack into the oven. Bake until the juices are thick, about 30 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and set the ramekins aside to cool for a few minutes.

Transfer each ramekin to a serving plate. Place a phyllo nest on top. Serve immediately.

STREUSEL Makes about 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) 1/4 cup (60 g) unblanched whole shelled almonds 1/3 cup (85 mL) all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg Pinch of ground cardamom 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces 1/2 cup (125 mL) quick-cooking rolled oats Position the rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).

Spread the almonds on a baking sheet, and toast until fragrant and slightly darkened, 15 to 18 minutes, turning occasionally with a metal spatula. Cool to room temperature. Coarsely chop by pulsing briefly in a food processor with the stainless-steel blade. Set aside.

In the processor, combine the flour, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. Pulse several times to combine. Add the butter, and process just until the mixture comes together.

Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the oats and almonds, and stir well. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
