Remembering The Fallen On Memorial Day

By Catherine Galioto HOWELL ‑‑ The Memorial Day cal‑ endar is filled with parades, wreath-lay‑ ings and ceremonies to remember the stories of those who fought in each of the conflicts of American history. Locally, those stories are also recent, as two Howell natives are among those who gave their life while serving in the military, in conflicts of the Global War on Terror. Michael Curtin Ar my Cpl. Mi‑ chael Curtin, 23, was killed by one of the first suicide bombings reported in the war in Iraq after the attacks of September 11. Michael Curtin Curtin was killed when a taxi carrying a car bomb drove up to an Army checkpoint in central Iraq. According to the Associated Press report at the time, in his last letter home, Michael E. Curtin told his family that he had been promoted to corporal. Cur‑ tin, based at Fort Stewart, died March 29, 2003 in a suicide bomb attack at an Army checkpoint. Curtin joined the Army in May 2001 after high school graduation. Howell High School has a memorial garden and plaque dedicated to Curtin and believes Curtin was the first Howell High School graduate to lose his life in the line of military service to the nation.

Zilinski, whose family moved to Howell from Middletown, was a Christian Broth‑ ers Academy and West Point graduate. As part of the memorial for Ziliniski, a stretch of road in Middletown bears his name, and every November, his family, military comrades and local supporters come together in a Run for Dennis in Holmdel, a charity event that raises tens of thousands of dollars annually. His fellow alumni from those schools come to the annual r un from points around the country, said his mother, Mar‑ ion Zilinski. “It’s tremendous, the West Point Swim Team leads the run. Dennis was the swim team captain,” she said. The Run for Dennis and the Dennis Ziliniski Memorial Fund has donated to various causes: wounded servicemen who’ve received hand-crank bicycles, a charity that trains service dogs to assist service men and women with post-trau‑

MAYOR AND COUNCIL FOR A DAY

By Shawn Smith HOWELL – The town council seemed a bit shorter than usual at the May meeting. Standing in for Mayor William Gotto and the council was the student government from Middle Schools North and South. The students, who had spent the morning learning about government, ran the first half of the township council meeting. They read proclamations and took comments from township residents. Student council members Cacey Russo, Morgan Burger, Caitlyn Dolan, Abby Schnappauf, as well as Mayor Mark Becker‑ le sat at the front of the room as one resident, Dan Cardellichio, asked the members what they would do to improve the township. Suggestions from the students included encouraging residents to be more active and adding a township pool. “I would add a township pool,” Beckerle said. “Many communities have these and it’s a good way to bring people together for the summer. It’s a good way for everyone to get their exercise and a good way for everyone to spend their time.” Earlier in the day, about 40 students from the middle schools visited town hall for a tour, as well as demonstrations from differ‑ ent city departments. Their day concluded with a question and answer session with Mayor Gotto. “I love these sit-down sessions with the students,” Gotto said. “When kids ask questions, it’s because they have a general curiosity about the subject.” (Council - See Page 4)

Decoration Day What began as Decoration Day in 1868, the day was a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with f lowers. According to the Veterans Adminis‑ tration history: “It was not until after World War I, however, that the day was expanded to honor those who have died in all American wars. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, though it is still often called Decoration Day. It was then also placed on the last Monday in May, as were some other federal holidays.” Memorial Day is now seen as a day to honor those who lost their lives in any era of military service, not just WWI. There are several databases that reveal the stories of the men and women who died in service, most are organized by the combat. For example, the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Holmdel maintain a list of the 1,563 people from New Jer‑ sey who were killed or listed as missing during the Vietnam War (search online at njvvmf.org.)

The kids morning began with speeches from various members of government, including state Assemblyman David R i bl e , M o n m o u t h C o u n t y S h e r i f f Shau n Golden and Freeholder Joh n Curley. While introducing the guest speakers, Gotto told the students he considered himself lucky because he is able to go to the various members of government when he has a problem and together they come up with solutions. During his speech, Curley called upon the students to take action and become involved in their community. “You are the leaders,” he said. “You’re the leaders within your realm, within your group right now. As you age, that group will expand and you will be sit‑ ting in public offices, like myself, the assemblyman and the mayor.” After the speeches, the students were allowed outside, where cit y depar t‑ ments had set up displays to get the students engaged. They included the department of public works, the town‑ ship police department, the Associated Humane Society and the Southard Fire Department.

While speaking to the police depart‑ ment, students were allowed to try on a tactical gear, including a bullet proof vest and helmet, and they were given the opportunity to hold a rif le. After visiting the departments, the Howell K-9 u nit was on hand for a demon st r at ion. Led by K-9 of f icer Nicholas Bondarew and Jago, the stu‑ dents watched as Jago circled a vehicle with drugs hidden in it, and found them within seconds of searching. Then, as a special treat, Howell Town‑ sh ip Police Ch ief A nd rew Kud r ick donned an insulated arm while Jago attacked. The students watched in awe as the chief swung Jago around and even lifted him off the ground. During the question and answer ses‑ sion, the students asked Gotto about various town issues, from the county parks system, to the city’s high tax rate. Gotto never turned down a question, and answered them all. He told the kids about why he made the decision to move his family to Howell, and why he chose to run for mayor and why the township is lacking some departments other towns have. “Howell is a big town, and for whatev‑ er reason, we don’t have a lot of issues with animals,” he said. “So for us, it’s cheaper to contract that work out when it is needed.” After the student-run part of the agen‑ da, the mayor and council posed with the students for photos from communi‑ ty members who attended the meeting.

–Photos by Shawn Smith Chief Andy Kudrick, volunteering as a target, shows students how the canine officers can attack a suspect.

The members of student government became members of the township government for the day, leading a portion of that night’s council meeting.

Editorial Remember What Memorial Day Is Really About Each passing year, holidays get more and more commer‑ cial. And it seems Memorial Day has become one of them. Stores try to one-up each other and offer the best deals in order to bring in the customers. And it works. Most of us can admit to searching the sales fliers, comparing prices of hamburg‑ ers and hotdogs, and all of the other “essential” items for our annual get-together to kick off the summer season. After we return home from our trip to the supermarket, we have to begin preparing. There are so many things on the to-do list. Clean the house, mow the lawn, open the pool, decorate, and finally, we must don our aprons and get to work on the tasty barbeque fare that will blanket our counters and tables. With all the planning and shopping, and of course, the celebrating, it’s fairly easy to forget why we have off from work and why the kids are home from school that day. Well, prepare to be reminded. It’s Memorial Day. A day that was meant to honor the brave members of the United States military who gave their lives for this country. Every day, every hour, every minute, and every second, there are men and women who put their lives on the line. Not only do they keep us from physical harm, they fight to ensure that the rights given to us by our forefathers remain intact. Rights that grant us freedom and rights that sometimes get taken for granted. Freedom certainly is not free. We receive a grim reminder of that fact every time the news reports that the lives of yet more American troops have

been lost. Memorial Day is a special day set aside to give us the opportunity to honor those heroes from our nation’s past and present. This weekend, citizens across the country will have the chance to participate in Memorial Day ceremonies in their own communities. But the reality is, most will not attend. We get preoccupied with the festivities of the week‑ end. But we need to make it priority. Make time to attend a ceremony. Take a few minutes to step away from the party and reflect. Reserve a seat at the ta‑ ble for a serviceman or woman who was killed in action, a ges‑ ture that serves as a constant reminder to party guests that there’s more meaning to the weekend than just celebrating the unofficial start of summer. For some families, though, that void at the table is very personal. That empty spot is an outward expression of the hole in their hearts from the loss of someone they have dearly loved. A father, mother, sister, brother, a friend. In any case, a member of the United States Armed Forces who gave everything for love of country. So this Memorial Day, pay tribute to those who have been killed in the line of duty, to the sons and daughters of America who fought and died for our independence. Ameri‑ can troops have and continue to battle on the front lines EVERY DAY to protect our freedom. We need to make it our mission to recognize their sacrifice this ONE DAY. One day. One day a year for the ultimate sacrifices of millions of Americans throughout our country’s history. It’s the very least we can do.

Letters To The Editor Mind The Flagpoles For two to three months now, the huge flagpole at the intersection of Lake and Station Roads in Whit‑ ing, the one across from Veterans Park, has been missing something: the huge American flag which once adorned it. It is my sincere hope that, with Memorial Day coming fast and Independence Day not far behind, our beautiful f lag will be f lying again there soon! I’ve been wait‑ ing patiently for its replace‑ ment, but it really shouldn’t wait much longer because these patriotic holidays demand a rapid resolution. And, such a huge flagpole so prominently displayed looks especially offensive without the flag, itself. Thank you for helping me bring this to the attention of “to whom it may concern.” Chet Jelinski Whiting

Remember Potentials For Lyme Gardening and hiking sea‑ son is in full swing, which means I have Lyme disease on my mind. May is Lyme Disease Aware‑

ness Month, but “Lyme sea‑ son” depends heavily on the weather and climate. Weather and climate also help restrict most Lyme cases to the Mid‑ west and Northeast. New Jersey is one of just 14 states that accounted for 96 percent of confirmed cases in 2014 (per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). I’ve had the tick-borne illness twice since 2012. Both times, I endured months of mysterious and painful symptoms before I was successfully treated. My doctor counseled me to stay quiet about the disease to avoid bad treatment advice, but I consider my story a public service announcement. That’s because Lyme disease, which already infects tens of thousands of Americans each year, could sicken even more people as our climate changes. An assessment of the lat‑ est science about the health impacts of climate change recently was released by 13 federal agencies and de‑ partments, and one of its key findings is that rising temperatures and changing seasonal patterns will likely allow Lyme-carrying ticks to march northward and to higher elevations. Also, cli‑ mate change likely will lead to higher tick survival during the winter and an earlier Lyme disease season. Dr. Rick Ostfeld, a disease ecol‑

A History Lesson For Conservatives I take this opportunity to re‑ ply to the gentlemen who has cherry-picked history to make his argument in the letter “A History Lesson For Liberals.” Yes, President Carter promot‑ ed private home ownership, as social scientists have proven time and again that home ownership results in good neighborhoods when people feel invested in them. Some people will have reversals in fortune, and entire towns and cities are effected when indus‑ tries downsize, lay-off, close and move away, and these citizens should not be vilified or President Carter blamed for these circumstances. Plans and hopes were made, and in many cases succeeded; it is reckless and dishonest to say it was all a waste of tax dollars. Really, who could say the Edsel, Betamax tapes, and Blockbuster would all fail? President Clinton did not repeal a 1933 banking law – Republican majorities in the House and the Senate fulfilled the wishes of their friends on Wall Street and repealed the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. Yes, President Clinton signed it, and some

Democrats voted for it, but it was the big banks who wanted it repealed, for they wanted the wall removed be‑ tween their commercial and very risky investment oper‑ ations, they wanted reduced capitol cash-on-deposit re‑ quirements and reduced reg‑ ulations, and the very notion that President Clinton forced this on them is laughable. No one ever forced a banker, any banker, to do anything they didn’t want to do and make a profit at it. Picture, if you will, a desk at a bank or mortgage loan company: on one side a couple with papers summing up all their financial history and hope, and across from them a loan officer with a multi-million or multi-billion dollar orga‑ nization behind him. Who do you think has the power to make a loan, good or bad? Too many loans were made on inflated figures of salaries, savings and employment, and is documented that loan officers perpetrated those frauds with the approval of their financial institutions. The banks share much of the responsibility. The writer states President Bush foresaw this problem but was stymied by a Demo‑ cratic Congress. Republicans controlled Congress from the 1994 elections until the 2006 elections, covering six of his eight years in office. And the writer may be the only one who credits President Bush with foresight; what specific action did he take or propose to head off the great recession, not just stop the bleeding from 2007 onward, when the crisis was upon the nation? If the writer wishes to warn us about short-sight‑ ed politicians, include the names Newt Gingrich, Den‑ nis Hastert, Trent Lott and Phil Gramm. If you want foresight, remember By‑ ron Dorgan, Democrat from North Dakota, who stood in the Senate in 1999 and ques‑ tioned whether we should be repealing a law which had protected the nation from violent financial disruptions. Vote wisely. Michael F. Flynn Manahawkin

From The Desk Of Congressman Chris Smith: Smith Supports Legislation Addressing Drug Abuse

Congressman Chris Smith NEW JERSEY – U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04) announced his support for a package of bills mov‑ ing through the House of Representatives recently to address prescription

drug abuse and equip lo‑ cal communities with the tools needed to combat the national opioid epidemic. “Communities across the country are struggling to address this public health and safety crisis and assist those in need of t reat‑ ments,” said Smith cit‑ ing federal statistics that show t hat deat hs f rom unintentional overdose of prescription painkillers al‑ most quadrupled between

1999 and 2013 and that every day 44 Americans die from an overdose. It is estimated that nearly 4.5 million Americans are using prescription painkill‑ ers without a valid medical need.

broad in scope as well as some that target distinctive populations. The broader bills include HR 5046, which autho‑ rizes $515 million over five years for opioid abuse reduction, prevention and treatment programs, and HR 4641, which is meant to establish a Pain Man‑ agement Best Practices Inter-Agency Task Force made up of medical experts and patients and designed

to update best practices and prevent prescribed ad‑ diction. HR 4982 requires a review of our nation’s substance abuse treatment availability and infrastruc‑ ture needs, including the capacity of inpatient and outpatient treatment facil‑ ities. HR 4981 will allow for greater access to less addictive drugs that can help the individual to quit or reduce their use of opi‑ oids.

30th Legislative District

Assemblyman David P. Rible

Panel Advances Rible’s ‘Blue Alert System’ Bill NEW JERSEY – Legisla‑ tion that Assemblyman Da‑ vid Rible sponsors to help apprehend individuals who have killed or seriously in‑ jured law enforcement offi‑ cers was approved recently by the Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee. The bill (A2674) estab‑

lishes an emergency “Blue Alert System” that allows the media to quickly dis‑ seminate information to the public when a police officer is missing, killed or seriously hurt in an effort to capture the suspect. “Law enforcement can u se a s ma ny ‘eyes’ a s

possible in helping track dow n t he se su sp e ct s,” said Rible (R-Monmouth). “With news today being instantaneous via Twitter, Facebook and other social media, there’s no reason not to use these tools to alert the public in the hope that someone may come

forward with information that leads to an arrest. “We ask for the public’s help by issuing A mber alerts for abducted chil‑ dren and Silver alerts for missing seniors with suc‑ cess,” Rible continued. “With the number of police officers being murdered or

shot on the rise, it’s only com mon sense that we implement Blue alerts for cop killers.” The bill calls for a vol‑ untary, cooperative effort between state and local law enforcement agencies and the media. It requires the state attorney general

to notify the media that a Blue Alert system has been established and invite their voluntary participation. The alerts will inform the public, who has informa‑ tion relating to the missing officer or suspect and how to contact the lead law en‑ forcement agency.

–Photo courtesy Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders The Freehold First Aid and Emergency Squad was presented with a proclamation by the board as it celebrates 75 years of serving the public. FREEHOLD – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders has issued a proclama‑ tion acknowledging the week of May 15 to 21 as National Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week. The Freehold First Aid and Emergency Squad was presented with a proclamation by the board as it celebrates 75 years of serving the public. The organization is the busiest of all volunteer first aid squads in Monmouth Coun‑ ty, responding to nearly 5,000 calls for help in Freehold Borough and Freehold Township. “Enough cannot be said to express our appreciation and thanks to the selfless EMS individuals who save lives because of their dedication to a special component of public service,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Serena DiMaso, liaison to the Office of Emer‑ gency Management. “The Freehold First Aid and Emergency Squad exemplifies the total commitment and dedication responders have for their job. EMS practitioners demonstrate care and compassion to their patients in their most difficult moments. Honoring them for a week is one way to acknowledge their work, but we should really express our appreciation every day. “EMS Week brings together local commu‑ nities and medical personnel to honor the dedication of those who provide the day-today lifesaving services,” continued DiMaso, who is an EMS responder with the Holmdel

First Aid Squad. “Many EMS responders are volunteers who give of their own time. Their self-sacrifice can’t be understated nor their responsiveness taken for granted.” National Emergency Medical Services Week started in 1973 in order to celebrate EMS practitioners and the important work they do in our nation’s communities. At that time, EMS was a new profession, and practitioners had only started receiving recognition as a critical component of emergency medicine and its role as a public health safety net. The role of EMS responders and EMS Week is an opportunity to become more familiar with their services. EMS is now firmly established as an essen‑ tial public function and a vital component of medical care. On any given day, EMS practitioners help save lives by responding to medical emergencies, including heart at‑ tacks, breathing difficulties, falls or accidents, drowning incidents, cardiac arrests, strokes, drug overdoses or acute illnesses. EMS may provide both basic and advanced medical care at the scene of an emergency and traveling to a hospital. EMS Week brings together local commu‑ nities and medical personnel to honor the dedication of those who are on the “front line” of providing lifesaving services. This is the perfect time to recognize EMS and all its prac‑ titioners for what they do for communities.

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

How to Calm Down Quickly

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

GRAND

OPENING & RIBBON CUTTING June 4th • 11:30am-3:30pm

It’s natural to get stressed out, or go into a state of mild shock if you hear bad news. Maybe you get sweaty palms a lot, or slip into panic attacks frequently (and over nothing serious). If you’re prone to anxiety, today’s article is intended to offer you help before you take prescriptions. Millions of prescriptions are written annually for anxiolytic drugs like alpra‑ zolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin) and lorazepam (Ativan). These drugs are all in the category of benzodiaze‑ pines, and they have severe withdrawal symptoms. I bet some of you suffer on a daily basis because you don’t want to get on a benzodiazepine. Now I’m going to offer you five ways to calm down quickly: Breathe – You might think this is silly to lis,t but it’s number one on my list. When you are anxious, your breathing becomes shallow. Be conscious about breathing and make sure you inhale longer than you exhale during times of stress. The inhalation is a gift to yourself, hold it a second or two, then exhale. Do it five times, preferably with your eyes closed since that instantly puts you into an alpha brain wave state. Lavender – They make pure lavender roll-ons, and if you can’t find that just keep a tiny bottle of the essential oil nearby, or in your purse. Take a whiff and put some on your wrists and tem‑ ples for immediate action. You can use this to sleep too. And you can find commercial preparations of lavender tea as well. Rescue Remedy – Rescue Remedy is

a combination of five flower extracts including Star of Bethlehem, which is known to help with trauma and shock. You can carry the tiny bottle in your purse and put drops in your mouth (or in your water bottle) all day long if you want. California Poppy Extract – It’s a great herbal anxiolytic, and sometimes also used for kids with Attention Deficit, or bedwetting problems. You can buy it in dropper form at any health food store and online. One of the active compounds is Eschscholzia californi‑ ca, which has been shown to promote higher catecholamines in the brain, thus a happier mood over time. Some can make you sleepy. Magnesium – This is a natural mineral abundant in leafy greens and edible seaweeds. Numerous studies show a correlation to low magnesium and depression and/or anxiety. It works pretty quickly, especially the magne‑ sium “threonate” form which has been clinically shown to penetrate brain tissue quickly. A double-blind place‑ bo-controlled study tested women with PMS-induced anxiety, mood swings and nervous tension. The researchers combined 200 mg of magnesium with 50mg of vitamin B6 and gave it to the women for one month. It helped some of the women, but not all. I have a few other options, however I am out of space here. Sign up for my newsletter at my site (suzycohen.com) and I will email a longer version of this. Please make sure your physician approves of any supplements you want to try.

Dear Joel, My wife has an awful habit which really irks me. When we go out to casual (and sometimes expensive) restaurants, she puts everything that she can into her pocketbook. Our kitchen cabinets have more packets of sugar and sugar substitutes than a supermarket shelf. No matter how much I tell her not to, she keeps on doing it. Answer: Although it doesn’t sound that way, your wife may be a kleptomaniac. I am not a mental health expert, and even if I was I couldn’t offer a diagnosis from your short letter. Although this isn’t a guarantee, I believe that you have more control over this story than you think. You can tell her that if she continues this behavior you will not go out to

eat with her. I f you se e her put these items into her pocketbook simply walk away and don’t pay for her meal. You can set the record straight by not going into a restaurant with her. My guess is if you hold out she will start listening. There is something psychological about her behavior, but once again you are only giving me a glimpse in your letter. By continuing to join her at meals outside, I see you as enabling the behavior. You may have to dine alone if it really bothers you until she stops. Hopefully she will change when you do.

Wound Program Earns Joint Commission Reaccreditation

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP – The Cen‑ tral Jersey Wound Treatment Center at CentraState Medical Center has once again earned The Joint Commission’s Disease-Specific Care Certification. Cen‑ traState earned the two-year certification by demonstrating compliance with the commission’s national standards for health care quality and safety in wound care. The Central Jersey Wound Treatment Center at CentraState provides a multi‑ disciplinary approach to the diagnosis

and treatment of non-healing (chronic) wounds, using the most advanced technol‑ ogy and procedures, including hyperbaric therapy. In addition to treating the wound itself, the program is focused on preven‑ tion—educating patients and their care‑ takers on methods of proper wound care as well as changes in nutrition or exercise that could accelerate the healing process and prevent recurrences. The wound care team includes an advanced practice nurse, physical therapists and board-certified

physicians from a variety of specialties, such as podiatry, general, vascular and plastic surgery, to diagnose and treat multiple types of wounds depending on their cause. The Joint Commission recognition was earned only after CentraState underwent an on-site review by the commission’s surveyor and assessment of compliance with national standards of care, including program and clinical information manage‑ ment, optimization of care and collection

and analysis of performance data to drive future improvement activities. Achieving Joint Commission certification means that CentraState has demonstrated a commitment to the highest level of care for its patients, and is a major step toward maintaining excellence and continually improving the care it provides. For more information about The Central Jersey Wound Treatment Center at Cen‑ traState or to make an appointment, call 866-NJWOUND.

R.C. Shea & Assoc. Inside The Law

Robert C. Shea Esq. Christopher R. Shea Esq.

Homebuilder Beware By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Any homeowner looking to build or modify a home should note that a new trend in New Jersey law now holds property owners lia‑ ble for workplace injuries where the injury occurred on site, and the property owner as‑ sumed responsibilities normally reserved for a general contractor. This trend was solidified by the New Jersey Appellate Division case of Costa v. Gaccione, 408 N.J. Super. 362 (App. Div. 2009) where the Appellate Court held that since there was evidence to demonstrate a property owner on a construction project where Plaintiff was injured acted as the de facto general contractor, a genuine issues of material fact existed to warrant a trial on the property owner’s liability for the Plaintiff’s injuries. In Costa, an employee of a framing subcon‑ tractor fell and sustained serious injury when climbing makeshift scaffolding used on the construction project. The employee claimed that the property owner, Salvatore Gaccione (“Gaccione”), acted as the project general con‑ tractor, and that Gaccione’s failure to ensure worksite safety constituted negligence and a violation of OSHA. Regarding Gaccione’s role as the general contractor, the employee demonstrated that Gaccione obtained building permits as the project owner, but indicated on the permit form that he considered himself the “person responsible for the work.” In addition, Gaccione performed many of the general contractor functions on the project,

such as hiring an architect and various sub‑ contractors, scheduling subcontractors’ work and purchasing building materials. Gaccione also frequented the jobsite, oversaw the work and performed some managerial tasks. Nevertheless, the trial court granted Gac‑ cione’s motion for summary judgment dismissing all claims against him. The trial court held that Gaccione did not have a duty to ascertain whether the scaffolding posed a risk of injury and, instead, was entitled to rely on the subcontractor to oversee its employee’s work. The employee then appealed to the Appellate Division. On appeal, the Appellate Division reversed the trial court’s holding, and found the facts of the case established that the homeowner had acted as the de facto con‑ tractor. Significantly, the homeowner visited the site daily, oversaw operations, purchased materials requested by builders and actively discussed building plans with workers that he hired. The Appellate Division concluded that this evidence was sufficient to create genuine issues of material facts and ordered a trial to determine the issue of damages. The important lesson to be learned from the Costa case for perspective homebuilders is that taking on the responsibilities normally assumed of a general contractor, even in the absence of the official designation of such, may give rise to a duty of care to ensure worksite safety and expose you to liability.

NJNG To Host Annual Energy-Saving Lighting Fair NEW JERSEY – New Jersey Natural Gas (NJ NG) will host another Ener‑ gy-Saving Lighting Fair on June 9, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at NJNG’s headquar‑ ters located at 1415 Wyckoff Road, Wall Township. Created by ENERGY STAR partner TechniArt, and made possible by New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program ( NJCEP), this f ree event is open to New Jersey residents and offers Energy Star-qualified products at deeply dis‑ counted prices. Due to the popularity of this event, there may be wait times throughout the day. In addition to LED bulbs, advanced power strips, lighting fixtures and other energy-efficient products, TechniArt will offer the popular LED six-pack combo special, which includes six, 10w usage bulbs (equivalent to 60w output) for just $10 – a retail value of approx‑ imately $48. When it comes to saving energy and money, small changes can

add up. According to the United States Department of Energy, replacing your home’s five most frequently used light fixtures or bulbs with models that have earned the ENERGY STAR label can save homeowners $75 each year.

Business Profile

SUPERIOR UPHOLSTERY Bringing unique creations to life every day!

What comes to mind when you think of “upholstery”? Most people assume it entails nothing more than throwing fabric over a couch. These people have obviously been misinformed! Tom White, owner and operator of Superior Upholstery in Toms River, is the very definition of a craftsman, delivering works of art to his loyal customers every day. Tom always had a passion for creating beautiful things out of limited resources. At a very young age, he found himself to possess a natural eye for balance and symmetry, two key aspects to the trade. At the age of 14, these attributes were recognized by Master Craftsman John Jacopec, who was a ver y dear friend. John took Tom under his wing and introduced him to the trade. Playing on his strengths and his desire

to learn everything there is to know, John ap prenticed him and over time, Tom discovered that he had found not only a livelihood, but a passion… a calling to create what has not yet been created. So how does an upholstery craftsman apply these gifts to the real world, to real customers, to you? He takes the

temporar y to antique, Superior Upholstery can revitalize any piece that you feel is in need of improvement and make it a prominent display of art in your home. Even if you have something that looks great now, take it to Tom and he will provide you with a new perspective the moment you arrive at his store. With these gifts, Tom is able to show his customers that any room of your h o m e c an be brightened with the right furniture upgrades. He will show you that upholstery is more than just “ fabric covering:” it ’s about design, quality and capturing your vision into a masterpiece. Even better, if you just have an idea of what you want but no piece of furniture to start with, Tom and his team will work with you to build that special piece and make your dreams come true.

When the task seems impossible, I don’t give up until it is perfect! - Tom White, owner

physical item in front of you (be it a chair, a couch, whatever) and fuses it with the unique image in your mind of what you want it to become. He takes into consideration functionality and needs when choosing fabrics, opting for the ones that will work best for your purpose, taste and lifestyle. From con-

AFTER

When you walk into Superior Upholstery, you are not walking into a bigbox furniture store that cannot bend from the status-quo. Tom’s skill of applying superior materials and unprecedented craftsmanship will add value to your furniture rather than the typical depreciation that buyers experience with previous purchases. It’s not about the purchase price with Superior Upholstery: it’s about excellence and meeting the customer’s needs. All projects are unique, meaning no one will ever walk into your h o m e a n d s ay, “ O h, I’ve seen that before.” Tom never creates the same object twice, giving comfort to the customer that they are treated as unique and with top priority when these services are performed. Countless services are offered at Superior Upholstery that you may not expect. In addition to custom furniture and covering, solutions for many other parts of your

home are options as well. Superior is your one-stop answer for all slipcovers, window treatments, drapes, valences, blinds and shutters. Free consultation and design help are always provided and they do all the measuring and installing. Pick-up and delivery options are available for any customer in need of this help. In fact, Tom’s customer base spans not only those who are local, but customers as far away as New York (that includes pick-up and delivery)! That just shows the loyalty that customers have to Tom and his business once they’ve come and seen what showpieces he can create! If you are unsure about the solution needed to illuminate a room in your home, come in and see Tom for a free consultation and he will provide knowledge and guidance on what solutions are best for you. At Superior Upholstery, you will find a family-oriented environment, rooted in the strong values and c o nvic t i o ns t hat John Jacopec himself

held in the highest regard. The staff of five, including Toms’ nephew, Michael, work as a true team to provide the highest quality with the friendliest service. All striving toward the same goal of finding functional beauty in unexpected places, each employee har nes ses t heir ow n individual strengths to complement each other and f low seamles sly through each project. It is that combination of talent, experience and proficiency that makes Superior Upholstery the best option for home furnishing upgrades and repairs in Ocean County! Come here first before even thinking about your common furniture or department store and you will not be disappointed! Superior Upholstery is located at 1594 Route 9, Suite 7 in the Victoria Plaza in Toms River. Their phone number is 732-929-0044 or you can email them at Tomw1752@msn.com. The business hours are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of May 28-June 3 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Enthusi‑ asm and the ability to stand up for yourself are your best attributes. Even so, you might offend if you forget to say “please” and “thank you.” Focus on being more consid‑ erate in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Teach others what you know and learn something from others in the process. In the week ahead you can easily join forces and make progress by sharing knowledge, ideas, and expertise. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Think before you act. You may be challenged to exert your authority in the early part of the week. Ask for advice from family members or wiser souls before you deliver ultimatums. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You value dependability and reliability above all things. Someone close may prove his or her true worth this week. Pursue important goals but remember to be appreciative of loyal partners. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Jumping into action is fine as long as you don’t jump in over your head. You may be challenged to perform physical activities but must remember to measure twice and cut once in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know more than you think you do. Your good judgment and sound assessment of circum‑ stances will help you make wise decisions in the week to come. You can see the writing on the wall.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Follow the lead of a model of industry. Discussions with intimate companions can become heated if you assert yourself. A “go-getter” can achieve positive results in the second half of the week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Nail down networking skills. You may open up some new avenues to travel upon and do business in the week to come. Opinions voiced in the outer world may persuade you to take important steps. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your boundless enthusiasm can breathe life into humdrum routines but don’t get carried away. Wait until at least mid-week to start new projects or spend large amounts of money. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are truly quick on the uptake this week, easily absorbing information and making astute observations. File these away for future reference. Maintain perfect manners when dealing with the public. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may change your mind later, so don’t be too eager to jump on the bandwagon. Powerful and ambitious ideas could develop during the week ahead. Sit on your hands until the time is ripe for success. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Follow your first instinct after checking in with your closest friend. You’ll make the right choice when faced with tough decisions in the week ahead if you follow the lead of wiser souls.

Featured Pet Adoptions Hi, I’m Cody and I’m a big fluffy mushball. I’m a 10 year old loverboy, who is sweet and affectionate. I am friendly and am always the first one to run over and greet humans when they walk through the door. I’m also a lap cat; I like to climb onto your lap and nuzzle my forehead against yours. I know you’ll enjoy petting my long, luxurious fur as much as I will. I did live with another kitty cat in my previous home, and I would be happy to do it again as long as the cat was easygoing and independent like me. I would also be content as your only feline.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Shape Up! Start The Morning Right With A Healthy, Delicious ‘Green Drink’ By Wolfgang Puck

With Memorial Day, summer’s un‑ official start and real summer arriving a few weeks later, shaping up for the coming season’s outdoor activities is on a lot of people’s minds. So you probably wouldn’t be surprised by how often I get requests in my restaurants for “something light.” Of course, there are so many ways our regular menus oblige our guests, with items ranging from fresh vegetable salads (dressing on the side, of course) to grilled fish or skinless chicken to all kinds of desserts featuring wonderful fresh fruit. The bigger challenge for many people, however, concerns not what they eat for lunch or dinner but how they start the day. And, especially at this time of year when morning appetites become lighter as the weather grows warmer, the talk lately seems to be turning to so-called “green drinks.” Green drinks generally feature not only fruits like apples, but also vege‑ tables such as cucumber, celery and, especially, dark-green bitter leaves like kale or spinach (sources of much-prized nutrients like B vitamins and vitamin C). The first secret to creating a morning drink that delivers the benefits of those green ingredients without causing a grimace at the first sip is to combine the leaves in the right proportions with the other healthful vegetables and fruits. I make sure to include enough apple for sweetness (along with a touch of honey sometimes), and even an orange; mild cucumber and celery also go a long way toward creating a more gentle, well-rounded flavor profile. I like to spice things up with some fresh ginger root and even, sometimes, a pinch of cayenne. My other key to success is to use the right equipment. The first recipe, my own version of a green smoothie, depends on a professional-quality highspeed blender, which will help you achieve a perfectly smooth consistency quickly. Or, if you prefer what is some‑ times referred to as a green juice “power shot” like those I often serve to guests at big Hollywood parties, you can achieve that powerful essence with the help of a good juice extractor. Both appliances are widely available these days at sur‑ prisingly affordable prices. So, as the season of sunshine approach‑ es, try one of these fresh new starts to your day. Here’s to your good health!

WOLFGANG PUCK’S GREEN SMOOTHIE Serves 2 1/2 medium English cucumber, peel left on, cut into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces 1 navel orange, peeled and separated into sections 1 green-skinned apple such as Granny Smith, peel left on, cored and cut into wedges 3-inch (7.5-cm) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and cut into 3 pieces 1 cup (250 mL) almond milk, chilled 1 teaspoon honey 4 large leaves green kale, tough ribs removed, leaves very coarsely chopped 1 pinch cayenne pepper 2 sprigs fresh mint, leaves separated, stems discarded In the container of a professional-qual‑ ity high-speed blender, combine the cucumber pieces, orange sections, apple wedges, ginger pieces, almond milk and honey. Add the kale leaves, cayenne and mint leaves. Securely place the lid on the blender. Fol‑ lowing the manufacturer’s instructions, blend the ingredients until smooth, stop‑ ping once or twice if necessary to scrape down the sides of the blender container. Pour the smoothie into two tall chilled glasses. Serve immediately. WOLFGANG’S GREEN JUICE POWER SHOTS Serves 3 6 large leaves green kale, tough ribs removed, leaves very coarsely chopped 4 large stalks celery, leaves trimmed, stalks cut into several pieces each 2 green-skinned apples such as Granny Smith, peel left on, cored and cut into wedges 1 medium English cucumber, trimmed and cut into large chunks 1 cup packed baby spinach leaves 2-inch (5-cm) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into 2 pieces Just before serving, prepare all the ingredients as directed. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, pass all of the ingredients a few pieces at a time through a juice extractor into the extrac‑ tor’s container or a nonreactive pitcher. With a long spoon, stir the juice mixture well. Serve immediately, pouring the juice into chilled 2-ounce (60-mL) shot glasses.
