Ordinance Paves Way For Rt. 9 Development In Mayetta
By Daniel Nee STAFFORD – The township council has introduced an ordinance correcting the zoning of a lot on Route 9 that will allow for the development of a commercial parcel in the Mayetta section. The lot line of Block 3, Lot 134, which is located across from the Meridian Health and Fitness building, was incorrectly mapped on a former zoning chart, said Mayor John Spodofora, who said a developer is now planning to build a retail liquor
store on the property. The news drew concerns from several residents, who worried the new establishment would bring more traffic to an area where turning onto the highway is already tricky, especially during the summer months. “I’m surprised with the way some of these people pull out that somebody hasn’t been killed,” said Ann Estelle, of South Main Street, the local name for Route 9 in the area. “You’re probably going to have to put a light there somewhere.”
Spodofora said the township will require a traffic study before the liquor store can be built. The store owner has already applied for variances with the Board of Adjustment, which will likely hear the application this summer, he said. Meanwhile, the township has already been looking at the traffic situation. “The traffic engineers have already studied the site, and we’ll go by whatever recommendations they make on the application,” (Ordinance - See Page 4)
Local Candlelight Vigil Honors Orlando Shooting Victims
By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – The emotional wounds of the recent mass shooting that left 49 people dead at a gay nightclub in Orlando Florida were still fresh for those who attended a candlelight vigil on June 20. The event was held in Toms River’s downtown area and was organized by Ali Longo of Toms River and Chris Rockwell of Brick. Largo said the message they wanted to express was simple: “love conquers (Vigil - See Page 4)

fear.” She tearfully read the names and ages of each victim at the close of the vigil. The vigil began at the MeanBean Cafe and proceeded with a walk to the riverfront area. The event was a tribute to the victims of the June 12 shooting, but was also a pledge of courage. “There have been a number of vigils held since the shooting in places like Asbury Park, Philadelphia and New York but I felt Toms River shouldn’t be left out as the community is really feeling this,” Longo said. “It was important that we did something here.” The vigil served to unite members of the LGBTQ community and others. Rockwell, who runs the open mic nights at MeanBean Cafe, said that the township’s downtown area has an active artistic community and that there was a need for

said Spodofora. Spodofora said there will be no “major commercial” development at the site, which backs up to wetlands on which structures cannot be built. At one time, he said, the zoning of the parcel was “highway commercial,” which would have allowed larger buildings, such as a big box store. The council, in the past, changed the zoning to “neighborhood com-
people to come together and express their outrage and sorrow at what had happened but more importantly to unite people as a community. Attendees brought flowers, poetry, letters and words of encouragement along with coming out stories. Tyler Hastie, Kyan Wayman and Tom Early brought a large sign to the event that included the names of the Orlando victims. “I wanted to come here to join other people who are hurting,” said Jay Laubauskas of Brick. “What happened in Orlando reminded us all that there are still people out there who hate us. We shouldn’t be afraid to exist.” Ann Marie McGinley of Jackson spoke out on behalf of the straight community saying “we are here in support of you and your struggle for equality.” Teenager Kristin Canneto of Brick wore a rainbow shawl to the vigil. She spoke about her struggle with bigotry and bullying at
her school saying that her sexual orientation should not define her as a person. She said that in response to being teased and harassed she chose to take action and is the leader of the Umbrella Club at her school that supports the issues of LGBTQ students. Lauren Josephsen of Toms River said the Orlando shooting triggered fears in the LGBTQ community that had just started to fade. “There are millions of people like me who are afraid of living their lives. I don’t want to be afraid and I won’t hide anymore,” Josephsen said. “Just when we were starting to feel that some progress was being made this happened. If we give up they win. Nothing will change if we hide. We have to stick together that is how change happens. Love is the only thing that will conquer hate,” Josephsen added. Brielle Sophia of Asbury Park said she is transgender and spoke about three vigils
that took place in the Asbury Park area within days of the shooting. Sophia said she helped organize one of those vigils. “We came together and helped raise more than $20,000 for the families of those in Orlando who were killed and those who were also injured in the attack. We are not powerless to make change.” Largo spoke about the needs of the individuals and the importance of nightclubs that serve the LGBTQ community. “This is where we feel safe, to be who we are, and to express ourselves with those we love. This attack could have been us. It could have been at our sanctuary. It made us all feel unsafe and angry that all these lives were taken for no reason.” Attendees each had the chance to speak, sing or read poetry. One young woman chose to sing “Thank You for Being a Friend” while another sang “Somewhere over the Rainbow.” The rainbow is a symbol of hope for the LGBTQ community.
mercial” to prevent that scenario. “It’s one store – it is a liquor store – it’s a retail establishment,” said Spodofora. “We will make sure it’s done right.” A liquor store is a permitted use of the land, officials said. Township Administrator James Moran said the township building code requires lighting from businesses which neighbor residential properties – which the liquor store would – angle light away from homes. Further, he said, if the parking lot is arranged where vehicles’
lights would shine at homes, shrubbery would be planted to act as a buffer and block the light from being transmitted across property lines. Still, neighbors mainly raised concerns over traffic, to which officials replied that they will do everything possible to mitigate impacts. Due to the zoning of the parcel, it is legal for a business to build in the space. “I don’t think this particular use will generate a tremendous amount of traffic, by any means, but we’ll keep our eye on it,” said Spodofora.

This Month In History: Ford-Reagan Primary Heats Up State
By J. Mark Mutter orty years ago this month, New Jersey faced hotly contested Presidential primary elections in both the Democratic and Republican parties. In 1976, both political parties had sea saw battles for their nomination. For the Republicans, the incumbent President Gerald Ford was challenged by the former Governor of California, Ronald Reagan. Ford had come to the Presidency by appointment and resignation. In 1973, President Richard Nixon selected him to serve as vice president after Spiro Agnew’s resignation. When Nixon resigned in 1974, Ford became President. Reagan – who had left office as governor in 1975, after two terms, had briefly considered running for President in 1968 and by 1976 was the leading spokesman for Republican conservatives. The Democrats saw a wide open primary contest between United States Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson of Washington, Congressman Morris Udall of Arizona, Alabama Governor George C. Wallace, and former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter. Like today, the Presidential contest in both parties started in the winter with a party caucus in Iowa and a primary election in New Hampshire – but ending with June primaries in California, Ohio and New Jersey. In 2016, Ohio’s primary was in March. Throughout the winter and spring of 1976, the candidates battled it out, from week to week and month to month.
For the Democrats, by late spring, Jimmy Carter had emerged as the front runner. For the Republicans, it remained a toss up. The New Jersey Primary – 40 Years Ago Both political parties in New Jersey put together election slates – delegates and alternate delegates – in support of their presidential candidates. For the Democrats in New Jersey, on the Carter statewide slate was Assemblyman John Paul Doyle, from Brick; Udall had Bill Bradley on his team – still, then, a New York Knicks basketball player; and an “Un-Committed” slate was led by United States Senator Harrison A. Williams. For the Republicans, Ford’s statewide slate was led by United States Senator Clifford P. Case, Congresswoman Millicent Fenwick, and Assemblyman (and later Governor) Thomas H. Kean. Reagan’s name was not on the GOP primary ballot in New Jersey as he chose to marshal his resources for the Ohio and California primaries held the same day as New Jersey’s. Instead, those New Jersey Republicans supporting Reagan simply ran under the slogan “Former Calif. Governor for President” ‑‑ and pledged to vote for him at the GOP convention if elected. In 1976, Dover Township (now Toms River) was part of the Sixth Congressional District (today, Toms River is the Third District). The Democrats ran slates based on the state legislative districts in 1976. For the Republicans, in the Sixth Congressional District, Ford’s delegate slate was led
by the district’s sitting Congressman, Edwin B. Forsythe. The Ford slate was challenged by a Reagan group led by Brick Councilman Edward Musgrave. The June 8, 1976 voting for the Democrats in Dover Township was close. The at-large vote for uncommitted won 822 to 797 over Carter, but the local 9th legislative district candidates split with one delegate candidate for Carter receiving the most votes and one for uncommitted receiving the second highest out of a field of 12 candidates. For the Republicans, Ford trounced the Reagan upstarts by a margin of almost 3-1. In the Sixth District, Congressman Forsythe received the most votes – 21,867. An 18 year-old Ocean County College student and
Reagan alternate delegate candidate, J. Mark Mutter, came in next to last with 8,128 votes. The Aftermath Carter would go on to secure his party’s nomination at the Democratic Convention in a first ballot vote of almost 75 percent. Ford would not have it so easy. He narrowly defeated Reagan in delegate votes – 1187 to 1070. In the November 1976 election, Carter narrowly defeated Ford and would serve one term as President. He was defeated for re-election by Reagan in 1980 in a landslide. –Sources: Dover Township 1976 election file; New Jersey Secretary of State “Records of the Primary Election-1976”; Wikipedia. J.

Featured Letter Chronic Lyme Disease Needs To Be Addressed Last month was Lyme D i s e a s e Aw a r e n e s s Month. There were many articles concerning prevention and how to look for ticks. Where were the articles about treatment and local doctors who can treat long term Lyme disease? Where in the shore area can you find a medical team specializing in the treatment of Lyme disease. Try calling Southern Ocean Medical Center and ask for an LLMD (Lyme Literate Medical Doctor). None are available. I am 89 years old and was infected with Lyme disease 25 years ago. I had no visible signs of a tick bite. One morning I could not get out of bed. A blood test from Igenex Lab in California confirmed I had Lyme disease. O n ly a n LLM D is
knowledgeable enough to treat this effectively. If diagnosed early enough, antibiotics administered by local doctors usually give satisfactory results. Because I was not diagnosed early enough, I am now suffering, along with many others, a condition called PTLS, Post Treatment Lyme Syndrome, as identified by Columbia University Lyme Research Center. Symptoms of PTLS include chronic fatigue syndrome, neuropathy, hand tremors, brain fog, extreme muscle weakness, joint pain, tinnitus, and other debilitating conditions. As of today, there is no known cure for Lyme disease. For further information, please visit lymedisease.org/ lyme-basics/lymedisease/chronic-lyme. H.J. Magierski Little Egg Harbor

Letters To The Editor Fort Monmouth Not Jersey’s The Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority is a fraudulent colonial entity that views the former U.S. Army base as part of the State of New Jersey. In 1778, during the Revolutionary War the U.S. government promised the Lenape that if they helped fight to end British rule, the Lenape would be given sovereign statehood in New Jersey. As of 2016, the U.S. government has yet to hold up their end of the deal there is not a single reservation even here. Fort Monmouth is Native American land, the rightful property of the Lenape Nation, and the FMERA lacks clear title. The Lenapes were subject to broken promises, coupled with forced exile to the Mid-western U.S. and Canada. Bring the Lenape home. Eric Hafner Toms River
Where Is True Leadership? Have you ever seen a time when journalists have been so obviously biased? CNN is obviously to the left and FOX is to the right – isn’t there room for some middle ground here? Their opinions are what should be in Letter to the Editor. Just the facts ma’am, just the facts. Actually, I think that the American people are not too crazy about either of these candidates. One with a history that has too much history to it, and the other is bullying other people. So it’s no wonder other candidates dropped out. Mr. John Kasich is a good and decent God-fearing man who was simply over-
whelmed by the whole thing. Obviously he was my choice. Nonetheless, I think we are all sick of the political nonsense going on, and the rest of the world thinks we are the laughing stock because of it and we are. Where is true leadership? We are hungry for it – real, true leadership, not promises not to be kept! Promises are easy in politics because very few people remember after the election what they were... God help us one and all, and may God bless America. We all need to pray for the right person to lead this nation forward, out of debt and into respect once again. Bette Kooreman Whiting
“Roots” Remake Ill-Timed
I was saddened and disturbed to see that The History Channel decided to begin airing its remake of the slavery saga “Roots” on Memorial Day. I was a big fan of the original “Roots” (in 1977), more on that later, but let’s talk about the “roots” of Memorial Day for a minute. Originally, Memorial Day was called Decoration Day and was a time to honor the fallen of the Civil War, a war fought to end slavery. If The History Channel is really about history, they would not desecrate Memorial Day by airing the beginning of the remake of a miniseries about the origins of slavery, itself. It totally negates the very rationale for the holiday! As you yourself said in your May 28 Editorial, Memorial Day is to “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.” I would add that it is a day when

men of all races who died to get and keep us free are honored, not a day to dwell on those who were sinfully enslaved, but later freed. The History Channel, however, appears to suddenly believe that Memorial Day is an apropos time. The 1977 version of “Roots” was not only (pardon the pun) groundbreaking, but it was eye-opening, edifying and needful at the time. I loved it, and it had a terrific cast which cannot be outdone by the one announced for the remake. Here’s why I feel a “do-over” is a very bad idea (in addition to the disrespecting of Memorial Day): This version comes as President Obama, whose very election was supposed to move race relations forward and help us heal from our tragic past, is soon to leave office. For The History Channel to take us back to slavery in the 1700s at this time, then, is almost an admission that his “history making” Presidency was a complete and total failure. We are not only going backward almost 40 years to “dig up” America’s “Roots,” but we are going hundreds of years backward to pick at old wounds that Obama’s election was supposed to heal once and for all. We are advertising to the entire world (again) that America is headed in the wrong direction. “Actions speak louder than words,” the “Roots” remake admits visually what “we” won’t admit verbally because of Political Correctness. But is this what we want the world to see? Very sadly, we live in a time of extremely strained race relations. Not only is Memorial Day the day when we are supposed to remember, and honor, those who died in the service of our country but it is also considered “The First Day of Summer.” Strained race relations, warm summer weather and the careless reopening of the wounds of slavery could easily see “Roots” turning into “Riots.” The original “Roots,” in 1977, was first aired in January. The History Channel should have put this new version on in Black History Month, (February), frankly. Does President Obama want to see more riots before he leaves office? Does The History Channel want this? In 1977, race relations were relatively tranquil. They are not tranquil, here in 2016. Do we wish to provoke more anger this summer, doesn’t America have enough? Airing the “Roots” remake on Memorial Day is just as disre-
spectful to those (of all colors) who died in the service of our great nation as it would be disrespectful of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to debut a World War II marathon on his birthday. Perhaps The History Channel (and Lifetime, and A & E, concurrent partners in this “Roots” fiasco) wish they could rename Memorial Day.......”Desecration Day”? That’s what they’ve done, either knowingly or unknowingly... they’ve desecrated the holiday. Chet Jelinski Whiting
Gag Rule Would Cause Suffering America is known for the good it does in the world. We export aid, medicine and technology to undeveloped countries as well as providing better healthcare, education and better working conditions. Our Congressman, Chris Smith, is attempting to undermine all the good we do by imposing a permanent and cruel “Gag rule” on women’s health in developing countries. The Gag rule causes unimaginable suffering of women in these countries. Access to contraception and family planning reduces unintended pregnancy, reduces maternal and child deaths, HIV/ AIDS and unsafe abortion. The World Health Organization data shows that 800 women in developing nations die each day from pregnancy or childbirth related causes. An estimated 50,000 adolescent mothers and more than 1 million infants die yearly because the girls are not physically ready for childbearing. The Gag Rule withdraws American Funding for Contraceptives if the clinic also provides information about abortion, even if medically needed and paid for with their own non-U.S money. The Gag Rule forced clinic closures and interferes with the health and safety of 215 million women needing access to contraception. American aid should not be accompanied with unfair rules that control women causing them to suffer and die. Congressman Smith can help reduce unintended pregnancy, save the lives of women and babies, reduce abortion and help suffering women by supporting women’s health and by dropping the “Gag rule.” Congressman Smith leads the Anti Choice Movement in Congress as Chair of the Pro Life Caucus.

Bill Would Require Turnpike Meetings In South Jersey
NEW JERSEY – Legislation sponsored by Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove that would require at least two regular meetings each year of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority to be held on a rotating basis in Ocean
County, Atlantic County and Cape May County was released by the Senate Transportation Committee. The 9th District delegation issued the following remarks regarding the legislation’s (S-1675) advancement: “Regular meetings of the Authority are currently held on a monthly basis in the
Authority’s Administration Offices located in Woodbridge. To many, this is seen as a slight given the amount of tolls residents living in South Jersey pay on the Garden State Parkway and Atlantic City Expressway. “The legislation is a bipartisan collaborative effort that we have undertaken
with Senator Jeff Van Drew and the First District Assembly delegation with the intent that residents would be better served by having the opportunity to attend locally-held Turnpike Authority meetings and participate in the decision making process regarding projects affecting their communities
and commutes. “Understandably, this is an issue of interest to residents living in an area that has been severely under-resourced in terms of transportation dollars for decades. Holding meetings in south Jersey would be even more appropriate given the number of projects
that are finally in the works to address the inadequacy of the area’s infrastructure.” The legislation would also require one regular meeting of the authority be held in Bergen County and at least one meeting be held in Salem, Gloucester and Camden counties on a rotating basis.
From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur: Reform For Military Families’ Adoption Leave
Congressman Tom MacArthur NEW JERSEY – Congressman Tom MacArthur and Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-CA) have announced a meaningful partnership to protect military families by expanding the adoption leave policy that was recently in-
cluded in the FY17 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). There are approximately 84,000 dual military couples in the United States, most of whom do not serve in the same locales. Some of these couples have chosen to adopt children into their families, but only one parent is currently allowed adoption leave. The adoption provision would allow the second parent of a dual military couple the benefit of adoption leave. This will allow both parents time to properly bond with their new
family member. This will also bring adoption leave in line with the current fourteen day paternity leave period, which is allowed after the birth of a child. MacArthur and Davis brought unique perspectives to the table to accomplish this goal. As an adoptive father, the son of a U.S. Army veteran and the representative of 65,000 veterans, Congressman MacArthur used his position as the vice chairman on the Subcommittee on Military Personnel to advocate for the flexibility this would provide
military families. Congresswoman Davis brought her own experiences as the daughter of a WWII veteran, military spouse and ranking Democratic member on the subcommittee to reach across party lines and draw on personal experiences to provide meaningful reform for military families. “Our military prospers when experienced people continue to serve,” said Congresswoman Susan Davis. “These benefits provide our men and women in uniform the flexibility that will help us
retain quality personnel. Allowing servicemembers the opportunity to spend time with a new addition to the family – whether newly born or newly adopted – says that we value them and their families. It also provides a chance to bond with a new family member and prepare for the challenges of raising a family. I appreciate Congressman MacArthur’s leadership on this issue and look forward to working with him to secure these benefits for our servicemembers.” “I have been blessed with
both natural born and adopted children, and I know how important it is to have that period to bond,” said Congressman MacArthur. “Through adoption, couples come to understand that parenting is not about biological origins, but the profound relationship between a mother or father and their child. I want our military families to have this experience with a smooth transition. Thank you to Congresswoman Davis for working together to support the military families that have already sacrificed so much.”
State Extends Property Tax Reimbursement Deadline OCEA N COU NT Y – Ocean County seniors who are eligible for a property tax reimbursement from the state of New Jersey now have until October 17 to file an application. “On behalf of the 160,000 seniors living in Ocean County, I had strongly encouraged the state to extend the deadline, so I am pleased the state has done so,” said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, chairman of Senior Services. “I also encourage our seniors to apply now however, and not
wait until October deadline. “This is a beneficial program for our seniors, providing some property tax relief,” he said. In order to receive a reimbursement for the difference between the amount of property taxes paid for 2014 and 2015 applicants must meet the following requirements: They must have been 65 or older as of December 31, 2014, or, if under age 65, they were actually receiving Federal Social Security disability benefit payments
on or before December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2015. They must have lived in New Jersey continuously since December 31, 2004, or earlier, as either a homeowner or a renter; and have owned and lived in their own home (or have leased a site in a mobile home park for a manufactured or mobile home that they own) since December 31, 2011, or earlier. They must have paid the full amount of the property taxes due on the home for
2014 by June 1, 2015, and for 2015 by June 1, 2016 (if a mobile home owner, have paid the full amount of mobile home park site fees for 2014 by December 31, 2014, and for 2015 by December 31, 2015). And their total annual income for 2014 did not exceed $85,553 and for 2015 did not exceed $87,007. With very few exceptions, all income received during
the year must be taken into account to determine eligibility (including social security, pension income, etc.). Vicari said property tax reimbursement payments can be affected by the State Budget appropriation. Vicari said that first time filers can contact the Ocean County Office of Senior Services at 732-929-2091 and request an application or additional information
on the program. Seniors who have applied in the past receive a preprinted application from the state. “We want to make certain all of our seniors are aware of this important program and take the time to file an application for it,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly. “Our senior services staff can assist with this and the many other services available.”

officers and the youth of the community. Ralph’s Italian Ice (349 Route 9 North) and PBA Local 238 are sponsoring this program. The program will continue through Labor Day.

DO YOU SEE GHOSTS?
While “blurred vision” is characterized by a loss of sharp vision and an inability to see fine details, “double vision” involves seeing two images (or “ghost images”). “Diplopia,” as double vision is known medically, may occur by itself or it may be present with other symptoms such as misalignment of one or both eyes, painful eye movements, or droopy eyelids. These symptoms should prompt an immediate comprehensive eye exam. Double vision may also be prompted by a refractive error, cataracts, or failure of both eyes to point at the object being viewed (“ocular misalignment”). The most important step in treating this problem is identifying its cause. If double vision cannot be reversed, treatments can help individuals live with diplopia. Are you suffering with double vision? If you demand nothing less than excellent care and results, then choose SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. You’ll be in great hands since we have been setting the highest standards in eye health for many years. You’ll get experience and the latest technology, which allow us to confidently provide you, as our patient, with expert vision correction. Our entire staff is extremely qualified and experienced in eye care. For further information, or to schedule an appointment, please call 732-349-5622.

Health Dept. Offers Water Safety Tips OCEAN COUNTY – Week two of National Safety Month focuses on staying healthy. One of the best ways to stay safe and healthy is to choose to swim safely and healthy. “It is important to remember that we share the water we swim in and we all need to do our part to keep everyone healthy and safe in the water,” said Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) public health coordinator. “There are steps that all swimmers can take each time we swim. First of all, in a public area, whether a pool or beach, you should check to see there is a lifeguard on duty. Most drownings occur where there is no lifeguard.” Regenye said, “Well maintained pools are less likely to spread germs. Injuries and drownings are less likely in pools that have trained staff and adequate safety equipment. Some other pool tips are: Stay out of the water if sick, especially with any type of diarrheal illness. Those with open wounds not covered with a waterproof bandage should stay out of the water.
Shower before getting in the water. Rinsing off in the shower for just one minute removes most of the dirt or anything else on a person’s body. Use life jackets appropriately.” He said, “Teach your children to not swallow water and make sure you take them on bathroom breaks. Keep an eye on kids at all times; kids can drown in shallow water in seconds. Make sure you change diapers in a diaper changing area and if there is not one, move away from the pool so no germs can get into the pool. “Don’t forget sun safety. Protect against sunburn by using a sunscreen with at least a sun protective factor (SPF) of 15 and reapply after swimming. Make sure you stay hydrated with plenty of water to drink while outside and make sure children’s ears are dried after swimming.” Visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org or follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth or like the Health Department on Facebook.

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Chinese Golden Thread Is Tough On Germs By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Sometimes I come across the weirdest things that are amazingly helpful, like Coptis chinensis. This herb is used frequently in Chinese medicine (Huang Lian), especially to treat diabetes. It has a lengthy list of medicinal properties that I’d like to share with you. Apparently the compounds in Coptis can help with H. pylori, pseudomonas, salmonella, shigella, trichomonas, giardia, influenza and more. I came across Coptis, also called “Golden Thread,” while researching plant-based antimicrobials that could get rid of MARCoNS short for “Multiple Antibiotic Resistant Coagulase Negative Staph.” Think of MARCoNS like you would MRSA, only worse. MARCoNS is an opportunistic staph infection that can reside in your jawbone, hip and nasal cavities, and it’s often cultured in people who have low MSH (Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone). Low MSH correlates with severe insomnia and depression by the way, and if you have those symptoms you should test your blood levels of MSH. If low, you’re next step is to test for MARCoNS, which entails a deep nasal swab into the nose. It’s usually cultured in people who have taken a lot of antibiotics (like Lymies), also those with compromised immunity, biotoxin illness, mold exposure from water damaged buildings or cancer. MARCoNS is tough to eradicate, it lives in slimy biofilm communities and it’s very resistant to today’s arsenal of antibiotics. A compounded prescription nasal spray called “BEG spray” is often used. BEG spray consists of Bactroban, EDTA and Gentamycin, hence the name
“BEG” spray. Coptis herb tastes strong and bitter. It’s bright yellow, and could be used to dye fabrics. The yellow color comes from berberine, which is also sold as a stand-alone supplement. Berberine has been studied extensively for its ability to positively impact blood sugar, and also because it helps prevent arterial wall thickening (atherosclerosis). Here I got all excited that Coptis could hit MARCoNS, which is tough to do (that is one resistant bug) and then I learned that it protects against neuronal degeneration (in animals) and it could help with IBS too. In 2004, researchers found something out that is rather astounding. They tested the anti-cancer activity of Coptis against human liver cancer cells, and those with leukemia. They learned that the berberine and coptisin (found in Coptis) blocked growth of the cancer cells. In the May 2016 journal, Oncology Report, scientists published an interesting article that mentioned Coptis. They said the berberine (found in Coptis and other herbs) worked synergistically with the chemo drug Cisplatin to suppress breast cancer growth. Just as an aside, Cisplatin is a medication from the category of “platinum” salts, which is a heavy metal, not exactly the same as the platinum wedding band though. Coptis contains many compounds, some even attack Lyme pathogens. It’s probably most famous for it’s berberine, which was shown in a 2016 study (Journal of Food and Medicine) to prevent formation of Advanced Glycation End (AGE) products which basically age you.

New East Bay Avenue Bridge In Barnegat Opens To Traffic
BARNEGAT – With construction completed by Ocean County, the new East Bay Avenue Bridge in the township opened for traffic on June 17. “We are pleased to complete the replacement of this span prior to the summer season,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Depar tment of Engineering. “This new span will make for improved and safer travel for our residents and visitors.” The replacement project started in mid-September and was completed within the scheduled nine months. “The original plan was to leave a lane of travel available throughout the project, but after receiving the approval of Barnegat Township officials we closed the bridge and detoured traffic away from the project,” said Ocean County Engineer John Ernst. “We agreed to have the project substantially completed prior to July 4.” The contractor, Marbro Inc., of West End, replaced the 154 foot long timber bridge built almost 50 years ago with a new three-span 135 foot long galvanized steel plate girder bridge with a cast-inplace reinforced concrete deck. “The original bridge was functionally obsolete,” Kelly said. “The new bridge will serve our motorists for years to come.”
The bridge foundation consists of concrete filled steel pipe piles and cast-inplace reinforced concrete pile caps, with new steel sheet bulk heading and composite fenders. The work also included minor approach roadway reconstruction adjacent to the bridge along with new guide rail and new marine navigation lights. “While some incidental items still need to be completed by the contractor, the new bridge is constructed and is open to motorists,” Kelly said. “I am very pleased to make this announcement in advance of the July 4 deadline.” The span, which consists of a lane traveling east and one west, crosses over Double Creek, an environmentally protected marshland. The new bridge maintains the same under clearance as the one it replaced. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders awarded a $3.7 million contract to Marbro Inc. to demolish the old bridge and construct the new one. The county used $1 million from the state Department of Transportation to construct the span. “The new span meets all state and federal requirements,” Kelly said. “With more than 250 bridges and culverts throughout the county, it’s a priority of the Board of Freeholders to make sure they are properly maintained.”

Lectures At The Lake Series To Kick Off BASS RIVER – The Bass River State Forest’s “Lectures at the Lake” series will kick off on July 2 at 8 p.m. with a free history program about the Civilian Conservation Corps camp that existed at the forest from 1933-1941. Seasonal Historian Sean Kane will present “Life as an enrollee of a CCC Camp.” Kane will use information found in the forest’s files and archives to describe what life was like at Camp S-55 such as daily tasks and duties, what they ate and what they did for rest and relaxation. The Civilian Conservation Corps was a federal program started by Franklin D. Roosevelt to help families during the Depression. The young men enlisted in these camps received $5 per month,
while $25 went home to assist their families. Even though Bass River State Forest was established in 1905, well before the CCC began, the CCC “boys” were involved in several projects that can still be seen and used at the forest today such as shelters, cabins, Lake Absegami, picnic pavilions, tree plantations and the seasonal Interpretive Center to name a few. Insect repellent, a flashlight and something to sit on is recommended. The venue is ADA accessible. The program is free, but donations to the Bass River State Forest Interpretive Program are welcome. For a 2016 summer program schedule or for more information, contact the Forest Office at 609-296-1114 or njparksandforests.org.

TARGETING SEA NETTLES’ EXPLOSIVE GROWTH
By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY – Can anything be done to curtail the explosive growth of stinging Sea Nettles in Barnegat Bay? That was the focus in of four Barnegat Bay Bulkhead Blitz workshops held recently in lagoon-front neighborhoods of Curtis Point in Mantoloking; Berkeley Shores and Good Luck Point in Berkeley Township; and Shore Acres in Brick. Dr. Paul Bologna, director of Marine Biology at Montclair State University, and staffers from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection used power washers and scrub brushes to dislodge Sea Nettle polyps from floating docks and vinyl bulkheads in those neighborhoods. The speck-sized polyps attach to these hard surfaces over the winter before becoming adult Sea Nettles the following summer. On May 19, Bologna, about 15 site remediation crews and field operations employees from the DEP, and a few volunteers met at Shore Acres Yacht Club in Brick and used two power boats to reach interior lagoons where Sea Nettles are concentrated. In many areas of northern Barnegat Bay there are so many of the stinging jellyfish the water has become unswimmable, he said. “The Sea Nettles are stealing the food from fish; they are voracious predators,” Bolo-
gna said. “They eat numerous species of fish and invertebrates, especially in earlier life forms, and many of these species, like clams and oysters, are of commercial and recreational importance,” he said. There is not a lot of flushing in the back lagoons where there is low oxygen, which is a good habitat for Sea Nettles since they don’t need a lot of oxygen, he said. The Sea Nettle population in Barnegat Bay has a dividing line at the Barnegat Inlet where the bay is flushed out by the ocean, but now they are being seen south of the inlet in Beach Haven West, he said. Sea Nettles might have migrated north from the Chesapeake Bay, where they are a big problem, and they have a range that goes as far north as Massachusetts and as far south as the Gulf of Mexico, Bologna said. NJDEP Research Scientist Lynette Lurig said her department funded a $283,000 study, led by Bologna from 2012-2014, to study Sea Nettle dynamics in Barnegat Bay. The Bulkhead Blitz began last fall in Toms River after the DEP reviewed the results of his study as part of Governor Chris Christie’s administration’s plan to address the bay’s ecological health. Bologna’s research concluded that the high-density population of Sea Nettles in northern Barnegat Bay threatened to mi-
grate southward into estuaries and coastal waters there. The DEP is providing more funding to Montclair State University to research potential natural predators of Sea Nettle Polyps, Lurig said. “There can be hundreds of thousands of polyps on one floating dock,” she said. “We know that scrubbing the polyps off can’t hurt, but the question is, will it help enough?” “We found that polyps need places to attach over the winter, and the good news is that all you have to do is scrub the surfaces to remove the polyps; you dislodge them and they don’t reattach,” she said from the parking lot of the yacht club. The Blitz was also a chance to show residents what effort it takes to help out against the Sea Nettles. “This is an educational effort to show people how to do it. You don’t need special equipment,” Lurig added. In a prepared statement, DEP Commissioner Bob Martin said that the research conducted with Bologna shows that “we can all make an impact on controlling Sea Nettles by taking a few simple, but effective steps in the spring or fall.” Property owners who live in lagoon-front communities are encouraged to remove
their floating docks during the winter and/ or scrub them below the water line in the spring to remove the Sea Nettle polyps, Lurig said. Detergents or soap is not necessary, she added. For more information, visit nj.gov/dep/ barnegatbay.

NJFOG Files Lawsuit Against Little Egg Harbor Fire Co.
LITTLE EGG HARBOR – The New Jersey Foundation for Open Government (NJFOG) secured a court consent order on May 31 against the Little Egg Harbor Fire District 3 that requires the Board of Fire Commissioners to follow provisions of the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA). NJFOG filed an Open Public Records Act (OPRA) lawsuit against the fire district in February after the district failed to respond to an OPRA request for closed session meeting minutes and resolutions authorizing the closed sessions. The OPRA request was made as part of NJFOG’s follow-up to assess OPRA and OPMA compliance by Ocean County agencies after the organization’s successful lawsuit in that county against the Island Heights Board of Education in 2014. After filing its Records Act lawsuit, NJFOG discovered various Meetings Act violations by the board and was success-
ful in obtaining a consent order that also addressed Meetings Act compliance. The consent order provides a route for citizens to seek enforcement of the law if there is future non-compliance by the district with the terms of the order. The consent order, signed by Ocean County Assignment Judge Marlene Lynch Ford, requires the Board of Fire Commissioners to pass a resolution that describes each topic that will be privately discussed in closed session and to announce those descriptions to the public, including stating the specific litigation, contract and personnel matters to be discussed. The Board of Fire Commissioners is also required to keep reasonably comprehensible closed session minutes that shall include the beginning time, ending time, members present and location of each meeting. The fire district also agreed to pay NJFOG’s attorney fees in the amount of
$1,700. NJFOG was represented by Anthony H. Ogozalek, Jr. of Voorhees. The lawsuit is one of two filed by NJFOG this year to bring a public agency into compliance with OPRA and OPMA (the Sunshine Law) and to help strengthen these laws statewide. In March, shortly after filing against the Little Egg Harbor Fire District, NJFOG filed litigation against another Ocean County agency, the Long Beach Island Board of Education, alleging both OPRA and OPMA violations. NJFOG also filed successful lawsuits against the Island Heights Board of Education in 2014 and against the Trenton Board of Education last year. The Little Egg Harbor case is the first time NJFOG has filed an OPRA-only complaint and obtained a court order that addresses both OPRA and OPMA compliance. “Our goal is to put local governments
on notice that they need to obey the laws designed to guarantee citizens’ access to public meetings and records. When multiple agencies are taken to court for similar violations, it should be a wake-up call that encourages good behavior by other public agencies,” said NJFOG president Walter Luers. OPMA enforcement is lacking in the state because citizens who bring an OPMA lawsuit typically do so at their own expense. There is currently no provision in the Meetings Act that allows citizens to recover their attorney fees in successful cases, so few cases are brought. NJFOG is seeking to remedy that by bringing enforcement actions such as the ones noted above. New Jersey bills S1045 and S1046 (S781 and S782 in the last legislative session) aim to reform and increase enforcement of the state’s open public meetings and records laws.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
A Taste Of Honey
Dear Readers: We have all had our days where anger seems to take over. We lash out at the ones we love and feel guilty afterward. They don’t happen too often, here’s hoping, and we usually apologize and forgive (the alternative is to hold a grudge, and feel sad and depressed). It is important to recognize that if this is persistent it could be a disorder of some kind. That being said there are foods that can actually help us in staying calm. I loved this and wanted to share: Kiwis - Kiwis are filled with Vitamin C and actually contain more Vitamin C per fruit than oranges. (Who would a thunk?) Pumpkin Seeds - Thought that they were only popular during the Halloween season? Think again, pumpkin seeds are eaten by Americans all year through. They are filled with Magnesium. They also reduce the effects of anxiety, a known killer to our health. Leafy Vegetables - Another goody loaded with magnesium. Americans enjoy eating iceberg lettuce but there are so many more leafy vegetables now available that are loaded in healthy stuff.
Finally, chamomile tea is almost as good as a kiss good night. It is a great and healthy way to end the day (it is related to the Daisy family) and a nightly cupful can reduce the day’s stress. And for my male readers I am not sure of the nutritional benefits to women but Brazil nuts have a reputation of raising the libido. Now that sounds simple. You can find them in better supermarkets throughout the entire year. They are available without the shell. I especially enjoyed sharing this information in that it is an inexpensive way of reducing stress and anxiety .It is important to remember that if allergies or medications are of concern, please consult your doctor. Wishing you a great week with less stress. Joel Write to preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 25-July 1 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be all you can be. In the week to come your work ethic may impress the boss or your business dealings will upgrade your reputation. Beneficial relationships can be forged with those who share your sense of values. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Wear your white hat and do your best. You may even be able to ride off into the sunset with a sweetheart if you make a pretty apology and mend the fences. Your creative talents are in high gear during the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gentle persuasion is a powerful palliative. You won’t need to force your ideas on others in the week to come in order to get results. Your wisdom about family matters is better than average; make crucial decisions now. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Fate and fortune favor the freehanded. You may have an occasional impulse to dwell on fantasies or to blindly swallow an advertising ploy indulge in the week ahead. Yet you will never fail if you are generous to others. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Go along with the crowd and offer the gift of giving. What you gain from being generous can be more fulfilling and satisfying than being miserly. Butter someone up with some form of flattery in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take pride in having integrity. If you prove your trustworthiness, by fulfilling promises and honoring contracts, people will develop faith in you. This is a good week to demonstrate your leadership abilities and wisdom.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Chasing your tail can be fun, but impractical. You could have some delightful ideas but not the levelheadedness to put them into action. Rely upon good financial advice from more grounded advisors in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some people dig in their heels and get the job done, but others are mere dreamers. If you are a heel digger this may be the best possible week to start any project that relies upon making smart and wise financial decisions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may reach down and find the bottom of the well. Gauge the depth of your feelings as well as the solidity of your financial security. In the week head you should focus on ways to replenish your resources. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your glass ceiling may be equipped with a skylight. Your potential for making giant leaps forward with career and finances may have few limits in the week to come. Accept any opportunity for advancement that comes along. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You won’t be fooled by fate if you focus on fulfilling your fantasies. Be extra nice to the new person in the office and be optimistic about starting a new project. The stars smile on romance and relationships this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Too many choices can be confusing. Remain precise and concise in the week ahead to dispel confusion. You may be torn in two directions but can make the right choice if you do your best to live up to someone’s expectations.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Grill Marks: Try This Asian Beef Appetizer For Your Next Backyard Barbecue By Wolfgang Puck
What are you serving as appetizers when you entertain outdoors this summer? Too often, grill cooks think only about their main courses and maybe side dishes like grilled vegetables and old standbys like potato salad or coleslaw. When it comes to f i rst cou rses, t houg h, most default to dishes like guacamole or other dips, prepared away from the grill, accompanied by the inevitable chips. I’d like to propose another approach. As long as you’re making the effort to heat up your backyard grill, why not be fuel-efficient (as well as conserving your own energy) and cook an appetizer on the grill too? The point, of course, is to be creative while also making less work for yourself, not more. Most importantly, you want a recipe that will be fairly quick and easy to prepare and serve, so you have time to get the larger main dishes cooking while everyone is enjoying your appetizer. One appetizer recipe that meets those requirements is the slender Asian kabob k nown as a satay. These are basically small, thin, pieces of meat, poultry or seafood threaded onto skewers, designed to cook almost instantly over an open fire for less than 5 minutes. And the individual skewers make passing and serving them both easy for you, the cook and host, and fun for your guests. As a great example, I’m happy to share my recipe for a beef satay I’ve served from time to time over the years in my restaurants. For a special-occasion, you can prepare it with good-quality, tender New York strip or fillet; but it’s just as good made with less costly skirt or f lank steak, which is the traditional choice in Asian kitchens. For convenience and authenticity, I suggest preparing the satays on individual bamboo or wooden skewers, which you’ll need to soak br ief ly in water so they won’t scorch or catch fire on the outdoor grill. You can also cook them indoors on a countertop grill, under the broiler, or in half the time with an electric panini grill or hinged contact grill that cooks the meat from both sides at once. The satays are so easy that they also allow you time to prepare a delicious dipping sauce to go with them. My recipe takes only a few minutes to make, yet it delivers big f lavor. Once you’ve tried this dish, feel free to vary it with different seasons or by substit uti ng other protei ns li ke pork, chicken or shrimp. You can also serve the skewers as a main dish, accompanied by rice and vegetables. Have creative fun with your grilling this summer! HONEY-MARINATED BEEF SATAYS WITH SPICY BUTTER SAUCE Makes 24 skewers, serves 8 to 12 BEEF SATAYS: 3/4 pound (374 g) New York strip or fillet
steak, trimmed 1/2 cup (125 mL) soy sauce 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper f lakes 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or peanut oil SPICY BUTTER SAUCE: 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger 1 green onion, finely chopped 1 cup (250 mL) organic chicken broth 1/4 cup (60 mL) soy sauce 1 teaspoon honey 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce or bottled barbecue sauce 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper f lakes Soak 2 dozen 6-inch (15-cm) bamboo or wooden skewers in water for 30 to 60 minutes. Drain and pat dry. With a sharp knife, cut the steak into 24 long, thin strips. Thread 1 strip onto each skewer, weaving the skewer back and forth along the length of each steak strip. Arrange the skewers on a large platter or baking tray. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed. Until 30 minutes before you plan to grill the skewers, combine the soy sauce, honey, red pepper f lakes, cumin, turmeric and oil in a small bowl. Pou r this mar inade over the steak skewers, t u r ning to coat the meat evenly. Leave the skewers to marinate at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Preheat an outdoor grill, stovetop grill, broiler, panini grill or hinged grill. Meanwhile, make the sauce: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the garlic cloves and blanch them in the boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds. Drain well, pat dry with paper towels, and chop finely. In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and green onion; saute just until they begin to soften and smell fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, soy sauce, honey, hoisin or barbecue sauce, and red pepper f lakes and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Pour the sauce through a strainer into a clean pan and, over medium heat, whisk in the remaining butter a little bit at a time. Keep warm. Grill the skewers, in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding, until cooked through and nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side on the outdoor grill or in the grill pan or broiler, or 2 minutes total in the panini grill or hinged grill - or 1 minute total for rare. (Take care that the skewers don’t prevent the panini grill or hinged grill from closing properly.) Transfer to a platter, pour on the sauce, and serve; or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
