July 2, 2016
Growing Number Of Seniors Need ESL Skills
By Jennifer Peacock Some Howell seniors will soon be able to gain another form of independence: learning the language. The Howell Senior Center plans to offer English as a Second Language classes to its seniors by the end of the summer. Senior Center Director Melanie Decker said there is an increasing demand for such a service, that the senior population of non-native speakers is growing, and that many lack transportation. “With membership growing By Charles Daye FARMINGDALE – Howell High School’s Class of 2016 featured 587 students graduating at its commencement ceremony June 23.

FUNNY IN 90 SECONDS
By Jennifer Peacock WHITING – Before she even asked if Julia Scotti wanted a table or booth, the waitress at Heritage Restaurant in Whiting told Scotti she killed it. “You were hysterical,” she said. “I don’t watch that show, but I turned it on because you were on there.” Scotti settled at a table in the quiet section, where 60s ballads were blasting overhead. While waiting for her grilled chicken Caesar salad and wheat toast, another patron leaving stopped by the table, touched Scotti’s shoulder and wished her luck. “Oh, wow,” Scotti said. Scotti, who lives in Manchester, appeared on the June 21 episode of America’s Got Talent, hosted by Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel. She had 90 seconds—not including waiting (Funny - See Page 15)

ever y d ay at t he Howell Tow n sh ip Senior Center, we have seen a d ramatic increase in 2015 and 2016 in the amount of members who speak limited to no English,” Decker said. “Couple that with not having adequate or any transportation to an ESL class, this can lead a senior to feel even more isolated and alone.” The senior center already offers a transportation service for its members, so the ESL class par ticipants could avail themselves of that. “Because we already offer free transportation to and from the senior center it makes sense to have the ESL class here,” Decker said. “It would be tailored to the needs of a senior verses a younger person and would benefit the senior tremendously as they would be able to read our newsletter, understand the lectures that we have, and most importantly make friends and develop a support system.” Social worker Ann Albano is spearheading the project. “When I mentioned the possibility of having these courses, faces lit up. Eyes were bright. I got a very positive response from that,” she said. The class includes conversational skills that are the basis of a language course. “My goal for the ESL curriculum is to improve everyday communication
skills and to enhance social interactions in the center and in the community. English speaking skills will promote dignity and independence,” Albano said. Seniors have different communication needs, Albano said. They need to communicate about health needs, but on a more practical level, talk to others in their community and the senior center. “What we see here is if your English is very limited, they’re not able to interact real well with the people they’re sitting with upstairs. It’s harder to the staff to communicate with people,” Albano said. “Sometimes those people who can’t speak English get left behind. We try our best to include them but if you don’t really understand what’s going on, it’s hard.” For now, it’s a small group that will start with the classes. She’s been in contact with the ESL programs in the area and has asked seniors in the center and larger community about their interest. “We have people from all over South Asia. We have a gentleman who speaks Farsi. We have a woman who speaks Por t uguese and Spanish. We have a lot of Spanish speakers. A number of members are Asian, some from Korea, one woman registering from Vietnam. We also have some people from Taiwan, China. It’s quite a broad range,” Albano said. “As I travel around Howell, my eyes go immediately to the older population as I drive along, think if

Celebrate Your Freedom This week Americans celebrate a holiday rooted not in seasonal tradition, not in religious ceremony, and not in recognition of persons or groups. This week Americans celebrate a day, an event, a happening that speaks to the core of what it means to be American. This week America celebrates its independence. Before the Internet connected people across a globe; before aircraft made Earth’s expanse but a short journey by air; before the telephone provided a means to communicate over vast distances; before all of this there was the British Empire. We were part of it. Then 13 loosely affiliated colonies, America was little more than a figurative island under the rule of King George III. But even then Americans were not a people content to live under the thumb of another, sitting idly by while decisions were made for them. So it was that on July 4, 1776, after years of ever-mounting opposition to the King’s rule, America declared its independence. More than any one thing, of greater import than any single ideal, was the belief that people should be free to dictate the direction of their
lives. This lies at the root of America’s founding. “Governments are instituted among Men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,” the Founding Fathers wrote in our nation’s Declaration of Independence. “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” These principles are what we celebrate on July 4. Most of America’s citizens are descended from ancestors who arrived long after America told the world it was a nation that would be free, yet with each new wave of immigrants that spirit lives on. The notion of liberty, of freedom, of opportunity, of having power over one’s own life, these are the ideals that still draw people to America. These are the ideals Independence Day best represents. Remember this as you watch the fireworks. Remember this and celebrate your freedom.

Letters To The Editor We Need Real Action The Barnegat Bay Report that just came out is another alarm bell going off of the failure of the Christie Administration to take action on Barnegat Bay. The Barnegat Bay is enjoyed by thousands of people for recreation and tourism. It is actually one of the most endangered bays in the nation because it has experienced decades of nonpoint source pollution. However, what the report did not mention is what really needs to be done to protect the bay and clean it up. The threats to the Barnegat Bay are immediate, and the failure to deal with land use has actually made it worse. In the last 30 years, urban land use cover has increased from 22 to 32 percent. Once that percentage reached over 30 percent in the watershed it caused irreparable damage. This shows the Governor’s 10-point plan was pointless because it didn’t address land use. The bay will never go back to its pristine state, but we still need to do things that can clean it up. What the report doesn’t mention is that the town of Lakewood alone went from a population of 60,000 to over 100,000 in the past 15 years. This could easily double to 225,000 in 2030. The partnership says indicators such as nutrient loading from pollution are below average and are actually trending upward over the past two decades. This is not a surprise because the Christie Administration bottled up a 2013 report that showed we needed action to save the Bay, but the administration has failed to listen. Bay beaches have contin-
ued to close and fail tests for bacteria, which has put public health at risk. However, the Barnegat Bay Partnership says closures have actually decreased. Less bacteria is only a factor of weather. Last summer, we had a mild summer without a lot of rain, which leads to less stormwater entering the waterways. Only 75 percent of shellfish have been approved conditionally to eat, but harvest has been down 80 percent because most of the shellfish beds are lost. What the report doesn’t even mention the impact of Oyster Creek and the governor’s failure to require cooling towers. This has continued the plant’s 45-year legacy of discharging millions of gallons of super-heated water into the Bay and killing thousands of fish each year. The report also notes that the percentage of base flow has significantly declined in the northern streams, which is a result from over-pumping. We are also losing hundreds of freshwater and Bayshore wetlands that help filter nonpoint source pollution. Instead of strengthening protections for the Barnegat Bay, the governor is actually waiving environmental and rolling back regulations. The changes being made to the Coastal Areas Facilities Review Act (CAFRA) will actually increase land use cover and allow parts of the bay to be paved over. The Administration has also weakened the Flood Hazard and Water Quality Planning Rules, which will increase development in environmentally sensitive areas and add 18,000 acres of additional sewer service areas. This will allow about 400,000 more people to live in the Barnegat Bay Watershed.

What we really need to help the bay is to actually enforce existing legislation to deal with land use, stormwater, impervious cover, as well as set limits on pollution. If we allow the bay to continue to die, we not only lose environmentally, but we will lose over $4 billion per year in tourism. We need policies and actions that will protect the bay now, not more photo-ops. We may have to wait for the next governor to put in any real plans to save the bay.

Our Next President Here is an outline of what the country needs in our next president: We need a president who is honest with himself and the country, is caring and listens to the people the best he can. We need a president who is bright, but doesn’t speak over the people’s heads; is tough, but fair. We need a president who understands the job, as well as the two-party system and how it works, so that he or she can do the job properly. We need a president who understands all people, knows the meaning of compromise and is serious, but has a sense of humor. We need a commander-in-chief that has served time in the armed forces; a president of all the people, regardless of their party and doesn’t let personal ego get in the way of the job. We need a president that knows the importance of our allies and a show respect to them, and also knows the meaning of the Constitution, not how to work around it. These are just a few things that the next president should possess. The question is, is there such a man or woman and do they want the job? Herb Greenberg, Jr. Brick
Christie’s Funding Failures Gov. Chris Christie’s school funding proposal is a transparent attempt to deflect
attention from the abject failure of his education policies. Having never once funded the state’s existing formula, he has no basis for assessing its effectiveness. New Jersey has a progressive school funding formula that acknowledges the need to invest the most resources in students who have the greatest needs. Christie has made a mockery of that formula and the values it represents since he took office. Christie’s failure to fund that formula even once during his administration has done the most damage to students who are the most vulnerable. His choice to favor charter schools has further disadvantaged the vast majority of students who attend district schools. The negative effect on students has been greatest in communities where charters have proliferated most widely, including many districts that would be devastated by the changes he is proposing. It is a blatant attempt to pit New Jersey residents against one another on an issue where we ought to be most united: ensuring a better future for all New Jersey children. Christie’s proposal would result in a huge step backward to the days when poor families in economically challenged communities were left to fend for themselves. By sending equal dollar amounts per pupil to each district, regardless of need, his plan would subsidize those who have the most at the expense of those who have the least. That is the opposite of fair; it’s despicable. Under Christie’s administration, we’ve witnessed terrible neglect of communities struggling with poverty. Childhood poverty has grown worse under the policies his administration has imposed. It takes commitment, hard work and intensive investment to overcome the challenges that poverty creates for families and for children. We will continue to do that work, even as Christie attempts to use his remaining time in office to drive New Jersey backward. Wendell Steinhauer NJEA President

Assemblyman David P. Rible 30th Legislative District
Rible Bill Would Establish Permit Extension Act
MONMOUTH COUNTY – Legislation sponsored by Assembly Republican Conference Leader Dave Rible, which would extend construction permits in areas that were most affected by Superstor m Sandy, was approved by
the Assembly Judiciar y Committee. “Unfor t unately, there a re m a ny pa r t s of ou r state that are still t r ying to recover from the devastation wrought by Superstorm Sandy,” said R i b l e ( R- M o n m o u t h).
“Extend i ng t he Per m it Extension Act will help many important projects move for ward so those areas impacted by Sandy can continue to rebuild and recover.” Under the bill (A-3617) t he “ Pe r m it Ext e n sion
Act,” would be extended for one year in the nine counties most impacted by Su p e r s t or m Sa nd y. Those counties include Atlantic, Bergen, Cape M a y, E s s e x , H u d s o n , Middlesex, Mon mouth, Ocean and Union coun-
ties. “W hen approved perm its expi re, i mpor t a nt construction projects are stalled which negatively a f fe c t s b ot h ou r lo c a l a nd s t at e e c onom ie s ,” said R ible. “This measu re will be a cat alyst

N EW J ER SEY – O n a mission to make New Jersey a better place to live, work and play, housing advocates launched a new initiative to promote greater investment in housing and community development. Over 150 advocates met at the State House as part of the Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey’s (the Network) annual Legislative Day, to encourage current and future lawmakers to “Build a Thriving New Jersey.” “While other states have bounced back, NJ’s economy has languished after Sandy and the economic downtur n,” said Staci Berger, president and chief executive officer of the Network. “We know that the next gover nor, and the next leaders of the legislature, will have impor tant and diff icult choices to ma ke about
the many incidents that have occurred around the country. This bill serves two purposes,” said Bucc o ( R- Mor r i s). “ Fi r s t , and most impor t ant, it provides school officials with a larger pool of experienced retired police officers to hire to protect students on school property, but it will also save taxpayers a lot of money by allowing school districts and municipalities to hire these officers at a
much lower rate and without the need for pension and health benefit contributions. It’s a perfect fit.” Boa rd s of Educat ion are currently authorized to hire law enforcement officers and public school resou rce off icers. This measure implicitly allows the hiring of retired law enforcement officers. “School officials want a police presence in their schools due to the mass shootings that have oc-
curred in recent years,” said Rible (R-Monmouth). “Students and their parent s shou ld n’t have to worry about their safety or their children’s safety while sitting in a classroom. While our schools h ave i mple me nt e d e n hanced security measures, allowing school officials to hire trained, experienced retired officers provide another avenue of protection.” The Bucco-Rible bill (A-
3629) establishes an additional category of special law enforcement officers, specif ically, retired officers who are less than 65 years old. They will be authorized to provide security while on school or college premises during hou rs when the school or college is normally in session, or when occupied by students, their teachers or professors. They will have the same authority and duties as regular, full-

how to make NJ a great place we can all afford to call home. That’s why, today, we are launching our campaign to ‘Build a Thriving NJ,’ so that our current and future elected officials know that they have to do more to make NJ work for everyone.” The “Build a Thriving New Jer sey” i n it iat ive aims to boost the state’s economy through investments that create more affordable homes, address homelessness prevention and ser vices, revitalize neig hb or ho o d s , t a ck le foreclosures and eliminate childhood lead poisoning by promoting safe homes and schools. Citing a recent national study that found New Jersey to be the fifth most expensive state to rent in the county, advocates met with legislators to urge action on proposals that make the investments outlined in “Building a Thriving New
Jersey.” Advocates also called on New Jersey’s next governor commit to those investments. “The backbone of our economy are our friends, families, and neighbors who live and work here,” said Blair Schleicher Bravo, chief executive officer of Morris Habitat for Humanity and Network Board Chair. “If people cannot afford to live here, they’re not going to spend on the activities that stimulate our economy. Investments that create more affordable homes, more jobs, and robust communities produce a high economic and social return.” “Housing is the foundation of a healthy, happy life that allows people to be productive citizens,” said Felicia Alston-Singleton, Newark housing advocate. “I came to Trenton today to tell our legislators to support bills that create opportunities so that peo-
ple having a hard time financially, due to systemic barriers, can have a home they can afford.” During Legislative Day, several Senate and Assembly members spoke to participants during issue-specific sessions about bills they have sponsored. In addition to speaking on her foreclosu re mediation bill, Assemblywoman
Mila Jasey (D-Essex/Morris) presented the Network with a resolution. “Whether it is lack of housing options, the continuing foreclosure crisis or concer ns specif ic to those who are economically disadvantaged or special needs residents, the Network is an invaluable resource in assisting those such as us who address
time police officers while providing school security. There are currently two categories of law enforcement officers. “Class One” special officers are permitted to perform routine traff ic detail, spectator control and similar duties, but are not authorized to carry a firearm while on duty. “Class Two” officers are permanent, regularly appointed full-time police officers. They are authorized to carry a firearm.

The Net work st ands on the front line and I am proud and privileged to stand with it,” said Assemblywoman Jasey.

Community N ews New Soup Kitchen Born Of Inspiration
–Photos by Jennifer Peacock Volunteers at the Bread from Heaven Café and Pantry in Jackson help out every Friday. By Jennifer Peacock Though she says she’s not a terribly religious person, Helen Ludowig of Jackson said she felt a call 10 years ago to open a soup kitchen, a call she squarely ignored. But when her job at Jersey Shore University Medical Center was eliminated, and another position just didn’t work out, the nudge was too overwhelming to not heed that call. When she shared her plans, everyone told her she couldn’t do it. “My boss said to me, ‘You’re crazy.’ I’m an Aries, I’m very determined,” Ludowig said. “If somebody tells me I can’t do it, I do it.” While others praised the idea, she was met with optimistic realism: the legal and bureaucratic wrangling could delay a soup kitchen’s opening for two to four years, she was told. She opened her first in 2 months. “God helped it along,” she said. “I’m not a religious person, but I believe in divine providence.” She started the first soup kitchen, called a community luncheon, from noon to 1 p.m. every Wednesday at the parish hall at Visitation Roman Catholic Church in Brick. With the success there, Ludowig set her sights on Jackson, and reached out to Very Rev. John P. Bambrick of Saint Aloysius in Jackson to establish a soup kitchen there. The logistics didn’t work ‑‑ the church houses an elementary school ‑‑ and he suggested Ludowig contact the Knights of Columbus on Bartley Road. Bread from Heaven Cafe and Pantry opened there at the end of May. Grand Knight Louis McGraw said KOC assists but does not run the cafe. Every Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., anyone can come in and get a cold or hot meal and sit at table and enjoy the food and company. The food is prepared by professional chef
Margo Pennella, who has volunteered with soup kitchens in Asbury Park and Manhattan. The cafe’s only been open for a few weeks, and right now there are more volunteers (40 donate their time so far) than there are clients, but both Ludowig and McGraw know that will change with word-of-mouth and media exposure. “Helen is doing a great job,” McGraw said. “I’m overwhelmed with the response from the volunteers. That is what I love. Not everybody is a cut out to volunteer. It’s about the way you were brought up, if your parents taught you charity.” Nothing is wasted, he added. Anything not used goes to local food banks and pantries. Lance Nibbling and his family attend the luncheon at Visitation each Wednesday. When they heard Ludowig was opening another cafe in Jackson, they made the trip. They live on the bay in Brick and suffe re d mas s ive firs t-floor damage during Superstorm Sandy. Although the house is fixed, they are still behind on bills and struggling. “The soup kitchens help us out. The people are friendly and the food is great,” Nibbling said. Cheryl Mueller, married to Nibbling’s grandfather, said people get to know each other and network, and talk about their problems during the meals. “Helen, she welcomes everybody,” Mueller said. “If it’s helping people, it’s good,” Ludowig said. “First we take care of the stomach, then we feed the soul.” Bread From Heaven Cafe and Pantry is currently seeking donations. Visit their Facebook page: facebook.com/ groups/1037795582981865/ The cafe is open 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Friday at 401 Bartley Road in Jackson.

Community N ews BlueClaws To Have “Biggest” Fireworks Display In Its History LAKEWOOD – The post-game fireworks that follow the BlueClaws game on July 3 will not just be the biggest show of the year, but the biggest fireworks show in the history of FirstEnergy Park, the team announced. The BlueClaws are responding to numerous fan requests for an enhanced show surrounding Independence Day and will have the biggest of the nearly 200 shows in team history after the 7:05 p.m. game on July 3. The July 3 show is presented by Georgian Court University. “Our fans have loved our fireworks shows for the last 15 years, but we did get several requests for an even bigger-than-normal show over Fourth of July weekend,” said BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow. “We’re glad to listen and can’t wait for July 3.” Last year, the BlueClaws were home on July 4 and welcomed a crowd of 8,317, the largest of the season. With the expected large crowd for one of the most anticipated games on the calendar, fans are encouraged to reserve their tickets in advance by calling 732-901-7000 option 2 or online at blueclaws.com. The firework show will be played to a
series of patriotic music. The BlueClaws also has individual picnic tickets available for this game. Tickets come with an all-you-can-eat buffet (including hot dogs, hamburgers, BBQ chicken, pulled pork, mac-and-cheese and more), plus a seat in the picnic area. Typically, picnic tickets are only available for groups of at least 24. Tickets are $26.95 for adults and $18.95 for juniors. To order, call a BlueClaws representative at 732901-7000 option 3. The game is on a Sunday, so kids eat free thanks to ShopRite and kids are able to run the bases after the game. Dogs are welcome to FirstEnergy Park each Sunday and adults can enjoy $2 Coronas until the end of the seventh inning. July 3 is also a Kids Club MVP “Fireworks on the Field” Night, where members of the BlueClaws Kids Club, presented by Jenkinson’s Boardwalk and Applebee’s, can watch the fireworks on the field. Membership in the BlueClaws MVP Kids Club is just $25 and includes four ticket vouchers, a $25 gift card to Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park, a BlueClaws Lunch Bag, access to exclusive events and much more.

Community N ews Be Careful Of Phony Charities Soliciting Donations NEW JERSEY – With many New Jersey residents anxious to show support for the victims of the recent mass shooting in Orlando, the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs has cautioned consumers to beware of phony charity scams. While the outpouring of grief, concern and support for the families affected by this tragedy is enormous, so is the potential for fraud. “In the aftermath of a tragedy such as this one, good people are moved to find ways to help victims start the healing process, often by sending money,” said Acting Attorney General Robert Lougy. “Unfortunately, bad actors are just as motivated to find ways to exploit the situation for their own profit.” “Consumers should apply a critical eye to any emails, websites, door-to-door collections, mailings, or telephone calls soliciting money to help those devastated by the Orlando shooting,” said Steve Lee, acting director of the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. “The best way to provide support for the victims is to make sure the money you donate is going to a legitimate charity that actually benefits them.” To avoid getting taken by phony charity scams, consumers should follow these steps before opening their checkbooks: Try to limit giving by donating to known and trusted charities. Consumers should never give to a charity they know nothing about. If a charity is new, that doesn’t necessarily mean consumers shouldn’t donate – but they should learn as much as possible before they decide to entrust the organization with their money. Learn about the charity’s stated mission, and find out how, exactly it plans to use donated money. Ask for literature and read it. Honest charities encourage consumers to ask questions. Contact the Division’s Charities Hotline at (973) 504-6215 or state.nj.us/ lps/ca2/charities/ to learn about specific charities. Confirm whether a charity is registered or is exempt from registration requirements. Certain religious or educational organizations, and those that raise less than $10,000 in a calendar year, are exempt from the registration requirement. Visit the division’s website to review the
charities most recently reported financial information – including the amount of the charity’s annual expenses that went to actual charitable programs, as opposed to fundraising or management expenses. Be especially cautious when responding to e-mail and telephone solicitations for money for victims of a recent tragedy. These methods of solicitation are more often used by fraudsters seeking to take advantage of a tragedy for their own gain. Delete unsolicited e-mails and don’t open attachments, even if they claim to contain video or photographs. The attachments may contain viruses designed to steal personal financial information from the consumer’s computer. Beware of solicitors that pressure consumers to act quickly or donate on the spot. That’s a telltale sign of a scam. Legitimate organizations will allow consumers time to consider what kind of contribution, if any, they want to make, even if they’ve donated to them in the past. Avoid cash donations if possible. Pay by credit card, or write a check directly to the charity. Do not make checks payable to individuals; make checks payable only those organizations which are found listed as active in the Division database. Be wary of providing personal or financial information, even to charities that have been confirmed as legitimate. Limit the information to what is needed to process the donation. Social media sites can also perpetuate scams. Do not blindly give via these mediums. As with any charity, investigate the groups behind such pleas to ensure that they come from a legitimate organization. Consumers are urged to report suspicious solicitations to their local police and to the Division of Consumer Affairs at 800-242-5846 (toll free within New Jersey) or 973-504- 6200. Consumers who believe they have been cheated or scammed by a business, or suspect any other form of consumer abuse, can file an online complaint with the State Division of Consumer Affairs by visiting its website or by calling one of the numbers referenced above.
Township Earns Blue Certification For Environmental Programs
HOWELL – Howell Township was recently named one of four municipalities in New Jersey to earn Blue Star Certification from Sustainable New Jersey and Clean Ocean Action. There are five main goals of the program: improve and protect the economic and environmental future of the community; reduce costs through green initiatives, while increasing municipal funds through enforcement; promote healthy waters, resilient communities and environmentally sound practices; showcase communities
as statewide role models through Clean Ocean Action media spotlights and finally, increase community pride and participation. Since its inception many municipalities have signed letters of intent to achieve the certification, but only Howell, Galloway, Long Beach and Wall Townships have received the recognition. As part of the program, the township will hold Blue Star Award event at a later date, and will receive a plaque which will recognize the certification.

Realtors Group: NJ Not On List Of Best Places For Home Ownership
NEW JERSEY – Financial obstacles and lifestyle choices are stalling the journey to homeownership for many young adults, but becoming a homeowner is currently more feasible in some less expensive metro areas with steady job growth and lower qualify-
ing incomes needed to buy, according to new research by the National Association of Realtors. NAR analyzed employment gains, population trends, income levels and housing conditions in the largest 100 metropolitan
statistical areas across the country to identify the best purchase markets for millennial homebuyers. Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, says although millennials have made up the largest share of buyers for three consecutive
www.micromediapubs.com
years, sales to first-time buyers and the homeownership rate for young adults under the age of 35 remain depressed at levels not seen in decades. This is despite historically low mortgage rates, escalating rental costs and low unemployment levels among those with a college education. “Even with potentially higher incomes, prospective millennial homebuyers residing in some of the most expensive cities in the country face the onerous task of paying steep rents while trying to save for an adequate down payment,” he said. “However, for those currently living in or looking to move to a more affordable part of the country, there are metro areas right now with solid job growth and that offer a smoother path to homeownership.” The top 10 metro areas NAR identified were chosen for their above-average share of current millennial residents and recent movers, favorable employment opportunities and relatively low qualifying incomes needed to purchase a home. NAR’s study found that the best purchase markets for millennials buyers currently are: Austin, TX; Charleston, SC; Denver, CO; Minneapolis, MN; Ogden, UT; Portland, OR; Raleigh, NC; Salt Lake City, UT; Seattle, WA and Washington, D.C. Other markets NAR identified for having promising potential for millennial homebuyers include: Boston, MA; Dallas, TX; Des Moines, IA; Jacksonville, FL and Nashville, TN. According to Yun, during the early stages of the economic recovery some of the largest metro areas – such as New York and parts of California – were attractive to millennials for their strong job markets, but their higher costs of living made it difficult to buy. Now that many more affordable, middle-tier cities have mostly recovered from the downturn and are once again experiencing robust job growth, millennials moving to some of these cities will likely realize they’re earning enough to purchase their first home. “An overwhelming majority of young renters recently said they eventually want to buy a home,” adds Yun. “As long as new and existing-home supply keeps up to meet demand and holds prices from rising too quickly, these identified areas are poised to lead the way in helping millennials realize their American Dream of becoming a homeowner.”

100 Years Later, NJ Shark Attacks Still Terrify
By Catherine Galioto The nation’s fascination with or fear of sharks – whether the movie “Jaws,” Shark Week television programs or tracking the Mary Lee as she pings offshore – is as popular as ever. But it’s been a century since what many see as the nation’s first deadly shark attack first gripped headlines, and that history is here on the Jersey Shore. That was July 1, 1916, in Beach Haven, a Saturday before the Fourth of July holiday. The story, as detailed in several local history and shark attack books, is that Philadelphian Charles E. Vansant, 23, had gone for a pre-dinner swim near the Engleside Hotel his family had checked into. He suddenly flailed and screamed for help. Lifeguard and beachgoer jumped into the water, reportedly only five feet or so deep, to save Vansant. Pulled from the struggle, Vansant had lost the back of one thigh and had exposed bone and a huge gash in the other leg. He died 90 minutes later after losing so much blood, said the reports at the time, with witnesses calling it “the most horrible thing I ever saw.” That same year, but just five days later, another fatal shark attack left a sea captain dead offshore in Spring Lake. Less than a week later on July 12, Matawan Creek saw two more deaths from shark attack and one person seriously injured, less than an hour apart. The four deaths and one critical injury sparked national headlines. Previously, shark sightings were captain’s tales, but with the fatal news, the triangle fin and the terrifying grin of the carnivore kept the beachgoer on high alert. The “celebration” of all things shark continues after Beach Haven held its Sharkfest Weekend June 17, with more events planned throughout the year. Among them is a presentation by Dr. Richard Fernicola, author of 12 Days of Terror, a book that investigates the 1916 shark attacks. The presentation is at the New Jersey Maritime Museum’s annual fundraiser on September 10.

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Did you know that your medication can damage skin? Most of you don’t even think about that as a side effect. Photosensitivity is a fairly common skin reaction that is sparked by taking medicines that interact with ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. After two hours of sun exposure on a shady trail, it happened to me; luckily the red burning rash and tingling only affected my hands, rendering me out of writing commission for a few days. The big problem is that photosensitivity reactions are highly unpredictable. Nothing may happen the first three times you go swimming, but then the next time it’s dreadful. The reaction can differ with each exposure, and the specific medication you take. For example, a classic reaction is a severe sunburn, but also possible are brown splotches in your skin, redness, pain and tenderness, an actual bumpy rash, hives and any inflammation. Photosensitivity reactions may cause permanent skin damage, while others are reversible in a few days, it is very individual. Finally, just because you do not have a problem with medication now, doesn’t guarantee smooth sailing every time you take it. There are hundreds of offenders, and again my list does not mean you’ll have a reaction at all, it just means the possibility exists. Here goes: Antibiotics: Sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, doxycycline, ciprofloxacin and the UTI drug nitrofurantoin. Psychoactive medications: Amitriptyline, imipramine and other Tri-cyclic antidepressants. Also, sertraline (Zoloft), venlafaxine (Effexor), mirtazapine (Remeron) and alprazolam (Xanax). The blockbuster Aripiprazole (Abilify) is another psyche med that has been associated with skin eruptions
and sensitivity. Accutane and Retin A: These are used to improve skin, so it’s ironic it can have a photosensitivity reaction, but they’re biggies. Allergy meds and antihistamines: Cetirizine, diphenhydramine, loratadine and other blockbusters. Blood pressure medications: Enalapril and amlodipine can sometimes cause “Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus” a painful skin eruption. Diabetic drugs: Glipizide, glyburide, tolbutamide, glimepiride and others. Metformin does not usually cause any problem. Birth control pills or menopausal drugs, any of them, there are hundreds. Patches, pills, all of them can have a ‘photo’ reaction. Statin cholesterol drugs: All of them, atorvastatin, fluvastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin have the ability. Diuretics: Many of them are skin sensitizers, however the popular HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide) can cause a dangerous reaction called “Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus.” Anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs: Ibuprofen, ketoprofen, naproxen and celecoxib. My list is not complete, so ask your pharmacist about your medication. Use natural sunscreens and sunblocks, wide-brimmed hats, as well as clothing that covers you up well. Aloe vera creams are soothing, as is the gel right from the plant. Try putting lavender essential oil (20 drops) and peppermint oil (2 drops) in some cold water, then make a cold compress out of that. It will cool on contact. Compresses with comfrey root, baking soda water or lavender oil are the fastest way to take the sting out of your sunburn or rash.

And to deal with this whole trans situation in a public way, because there’s been so much prejudice out there, and a lot of haters. I wanted to crack the mainstream comedy market.” Scotti laughs. “I guess I did.” Five years ago Scotti had a lunch with a f r iend, Ch r istine R ich, who she’s known for 30 years. Over the course of lunch, the topic of comedy came up. “’So when are you coming back?’ And I said: ‘I’m never coming back. I’m old. I haven’t stood on a stage in 10 years.’ She said, ‘You have to do it.’ So I went to a friend of mine who has a club in Bristol, Penn., called Comedy Works—his name is Mike Kaplan, and he should get some credit for this because he was the first person to give me stage time—and he said, ‘You were f u n ny then. You’re probably f u n ny now.’” She remembers the conversation well. “It was the first time I ever said in public that I was trans, and it was like a deep breath.” Kaplan said, “I knew Julia because I knew Julia as Rick Scotti. As Rick Scotti, Rick was one of the funniest people I knew.” Kaplan added, recalling the decision: “When he dropped out of comedy, and we had heard some stories as to what was going on, and then she came back, and one of the other regular comedians had brought it to my attention that Julia had decided
to come back into comedy, and how would I feel about having her at the club. He was funny as a man, I’m sure she would be funny as a woman. …She made people laugh.” Scotti said it was a liberation. “The best com ics i n the world are those that pull from the tr uth. We’re ver y much about speaking our version of the truth anyway. I always felt like, I knew something was different about me. But I couldn’t put my finger on it. Let’s face it, 16 years ago, hardly any internet, no information about being transgendered. So I kind of lived in shadows, not really wanting to expose my true feelings on stage. Once I realized what the issue was, all of that changed. All of that. It was such a liberating feeling,” she said. Scotti has studied the comic greats— Chaplin, Keaton, Benny: “And of course, Carlin is god in my opinion.” And there is a method to Scotti’s art. She does sit at the computer, always procrastinating, to write her shows. “She is constantly writing. You would think most comedians would be doing that, looking at life and looking at the funny things that happen. That’s what good comedy is about. Julia is great at doing that, at telling stories, and telling the funny side of it. She does a great job,” Kaplan said. For America’s Got Talent, she had to compress her best work into 90 seconds. She was “discovered” by the show after someone visited her website, juliascotti.
com, and asked if she’d be interested in auditioning. Her shtick focuses on her advanced age. “No. What chance do I have in getting on this thing? But my manager said, ‘You’ve got nothing to lose,’” Scotti said. “You are a joy,” Mandel said at the end of Scotti’s set on America’s Got Talent. “You have so much to offer. …Whether you’re a man or a woman, you’re a human. And you’re funny. And you’re talented.” Scotti cannot discuss any more details about the show, but said she is very happy with how things turned out. As for her audience: “I want them to have a smile on their faces. I want them to feel like they saw something meaningful. I hope it impacts them in a positive way. That’s my goal, to have fun. And, nothing is impossible. You have something you dream about, then do it. Are you going to take your last breath and say, ‘I should have done that?’ No. You gotta do that.”

CentraState Performs 1,000th Robotic Surgery
MONMOUTH COUNTY - CentraState Medical Center recently performed its 1,000th robotic surgery procedure using the Da Vinci surgical system, the latest technology in minimally invasive surgery. Board-certified general surgeon Amit Kharod, MD, chief of the Department of Surgery at CentraState Medical Center, performed the single site laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal
of gallbladder) procedure. The robotic surgery system enables specially trained surgeons to offer an alternative to traditional open surgery for procedures considered too complex or delicate to treat using standard minimally invasive technology. The system offers surgeons the control, range of motion and visibility characteristic of open surgery. It simultaneously allows them to
work through tiny incisions typical of minimally invasive surgery, providing patients the benefits of the minimally invasive approach such as reduced blood loss, pain and scarring, decreased risk of infection, fewer complications and faster recovery time. The surgical system includes a console and robotic arms. While seated at the console, the surgeon views a three-dimensional image of
the surgical field and accesses master hand controls to direct the robotic arms to perform the procedure. The system instantaneously translates the surgeon’s hand, wrist and finger movements into precise, real-time movements of tiny surgical instruments inside the patient. The expanded range of motion and excellent visibility afforded by the Da Vinci system makes it much easier to get precise results within a very small space at different angles. The robotic system is used for general, bariatric, urologic (with a focus on prostate) and gynecologic surgical procedures. For more information about robotic surgery at CentraState or all of the services offered, call 866-CENTRA7 or visit centrastate.com.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
A Nice, Quiet Little Beach Community Here
Dear Joel: “Ed” and I are going to be married in six months. This will be a second marriage for both of us. We are both in our 30s, neither one of us ever having had children. We are planning a small, intimate, family and “close friends” wedding only. As we continued to make our plans “Ed “ suddenly decided that our honeymoon to Italy was no longer what he wanted. He decided that the Caribbean is more of a “honeymoon destination.” Joel, we have paid almost half of this trip and although it is refundable for any reason; I refuse to change the destinations and plans that were put into place months ago. As you can imagine, this created a major blow up and we haven’t spoken in nearly two weeks. Perhaps I am being stubborn but it’s the principle of the matter here. I would love your thoughts as to who is right. Should I let him get away with his childish behavior? Answer: I actually take your side here in that plans were in place and they sounded reasonable. He agreed at the time and I think that his changing his mind may be unfair. I must say ahead of time that this is an
advice column. I am neither a physicia n nor trained in marriage counseling. That being said, I don’t think that the trip here is the issue. If at this stage of the relationship you haven’t spoken in the amount of time, I think the honeymoon might have already ended. Time for you to call “Ed” and invite him to dinner. I would stand firm about postponing this marriage as your relationship is more complicated than the honeymoon destination. If you can’t work this detail out I honestly see trouble ahead in the long run. Settling this honeymoon destination problem out now will not change my view off this relationship. Please let me know how it works out. Joel

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of July 2-July 8 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Weeds can spoil your garden if left unchecked. Carelessness or trying to finish a project too quickly could create errors or blemishes that ruin overall progress. Remember to take your time and pay careful attention to the details. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Keep your feet on the ground. A dream or idea may provide benefits in the future but right now you may be lacking essential elements to get the ball rolling. Focus on more tangible short term goals that you can achieve right away. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Expand your areas of expertise. Concentrate on skills or traits which may have proved difficult for you in the past and make an effort to improve your performance. Determination and willpower can help you overcome any obstacle. CANCER (June 21-July 22): If it isn’t broken, don’t try to fix it. Just because someone else may have experienced misfortune doesn’t mean the same thing will happen to you. Don’t take unnecessary steps. There’s no need to make any changes. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t get too set in your ways. The methods and routines that may have served you well in the past may no longer be effective. Open your mind to newer and more innovative techniques and don’t be afraid to make changes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It may all be in your head. Concerns and doubts over an issue may be unfounded and occupy far too much of your time for the next few days. Quickly clear the air with a friend or loved one with whom you may have had a dispute.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): The loudest voice gets the most attention. This does not mean that it is the voice that deserves to be heard. Make sure that the issues and activities that you focus on are relevant and that you aren’t following someone else’s agenda. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Nothing lasts forever. You may have become so comfortable with the status quo that you haven’t noticed a gradual shift in conditions. It may be time to reevaluate your views and positions to more accurately conform to changing times. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Let sleeping dogs lie. Your financial situation may not be quite as rosy as you’d like. It could be a whole lot worse, especially if you make any drastic changes. The sky is not falling, no matter what anyone tells you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Stop, look and listen. Misunderstandings are likely to arise if you aren’t paying close attention to what others are telling you. The safest investments to make are not making any investments at all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t get backed into a corner. Take time to mull over crucial decisions. If someone demands an answer right away then your answer should be “no.” Trying to appease someone could compromise your own interests. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Take things as they come. Deal with problems as they arise. Don’t waste your time thinking about things that cause worry. Adopting a more carefree approach to your endeavors could make obstacles seem much less challenging.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Refresh Your Summertime Entertaining With A Classic Salad
By Wolfgang Puck
On the hottest summer days, sometimes all you feel like eating is something light and refreshing. Salad certainly matches that description; and yet, mixtures of leafy greens and other vegetables aren’t necessarily what comes to mind first when you want to satisfy hunger. That’s why I think Caesar salad makes one of the best choices. The recipe was originally developed almost a century ago in Tijuana, Mexico, just across the border from California, by restaurateur Caesar Cardini, who threw it together one evening from kitchen odds and ends for some hungry partyers. Word quickly spread about how miraculously flavorful and robust it was for a dish so light - the perfect bite to enjoy after a night on the town. I have long offered my own interpretation of Caesar salad in my restaurants, and it’s so popular that when I try taking it off the menu many guests insist on ordering it anyway. They like it, I think, because the combination of crisp romaine leaves, Parmesan, crunchy croutons and a creamy dressing of olive oil, egg yolk, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and anchovies delivers big flavor and great crunch with every bite, filling them up without feeling at all heavy. Many people ask for the salad as an appetizer. Others request that we top it with a portion of grilled chicken, meat or seafood to make a complete one-dish meal. You can easily do this at home, too, whether you cook the protein on your backyard grill, on an indoor grill pan or under the broiler. So how, you may wonder, do I manage to stay true to the classic while also making it my way? For one thing, I streamline the dressing’s preparation. In the original, it’s made with a coddled (barely boiled) egg that is beaten with the other dressing ingredients in the salad bowl. Instead, I use a pasteurized egg yolk (you can find pasteurized eggs in well-stocked markets) to ensure it contains no harmful bacteria, and combine it with the other ingredients using an immersion blender that instantaneously produces a perfect emulsion. I then blend the anchovies into the dressing. They are usually used as a garnish, which some diners don’t like. But, when blended in smoothly, they add a subtle briny flavor to the dressing that everyone seems to enjoy. My other change is to the croutons. Instead of using cubes of bread tossed with the salad leaves, I prefer to use thin slices that you can eat as an accompaniment. I even like to top them with a simply seasoned mixture of cherry tomatoes, which adds a bright complement of both flavor and color. So there you have it: My own take on a very satisfying salad everyone can enjoy throughout the summer.
CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD Serves 4 CROUTONS: 1 small French or sourdough baguette, cut diagonally into slices 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick Extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme CAESAR DRESSING: 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh lemon juice strained 1 pasteurized cage-free egg yolk 1 clove garlic, grated 3 anchovy fillets 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar 1 cup (250 mL) mild-tasting extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon honey CHERRY TOMATO GARNISH: About 2 dozen cherry tomatoes, cut in halves Sherry vinegar 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or other fresh herbs SALAD: 3 hearts romaine lettuce, leaves separated and chilled 1 cup (250 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Hardboiled egg, sliced in half (optional garnish) First, make the croutons. Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Put the slices of bread on a baking sheet. Drizzle lightly but evenly with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme. Bake until deep golden-brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a glass measuring cup or bowl, combine the lemon juice, egg yolk, garlic, anchovies, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, vinegar and oil. With an immersion blender, blend until smooth. Add the honey and blend briefly again. For the garnish, in a mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, a small splash of vinegar and the fresh herbs. Toss well. Set aside. Put the separated romaine leaves in a large bowl. Add 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup (85 mL to 125 mL) of the Parmesan and season lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle with enough of the dressing to coat the leaves lightly. Toss thoroughly. To serve the salad, arrange the dressed romaine leaves on individual large serving plates. Sprinkle more Parmesan over the salad. Arrange the croutons on the side and top them with the cherry tomato mixture. Add hardboiled egg for optional garnish. Serve immediately.
