Recent Arrest Shows Heroin’s Reach Into Neighborhood, Police Say
By Charles Daye HOWELL – Recent arrests for heroin distribution are showing the police depar tment’s success in apprehending offenders but the incidents also show the continued problem with the drug, seen as an epidemic by local authorities. In June, Howell Police busted a drug operation in the neighborhood of Oak Glen, where heroin was being sold out of a private residence on Starlight Road. All involved were apprehended. “We knew this wasn’t going to be the bust of the century as far as the quantity but we were more insulted at the audacity of people to set up shop
right there smack dab in the middle of starlight,” said Lieutenant Tom Rizzo of the Howell Police Department. Howell Police set up surveillance on several occasions to gather the necessary intelligence for a distribution of heroin charge. Lt. Rizzo led what he called “expeditious investigation” before obtaining a search warrant through the Monmouth County Superior Court. There was a noticeable increase in vehicle and pedestrian traffic which was considered “out of sorts” for the Oak Glen neighborhood. This led to complaints by neighbors, who described the Starlight house as an eye sore. “The house just looked dilapidated
like they weren’t even caring for it anymore, which also bothered us because it’s a nice development and people deserve better,” said Rizzo. The Starlight home is being foreclosed and has multiple code violations. Lt. Rizzo believes this is “one of the more well-rounded jobs” done by the Howell PD and praised his team’s level of commitment but admittedly, does not believe the heroin epidemic in the state is getting better. The Lieutenant likened the state of the epidemic to the Serenity Prayer and personally takes pride in Howell’s current situation locally. “I can guarantee with a certainty (Arrest - See Page 12)

(Left and middle) A June arrest was the result of surveillances in the Oak Glen neighborhood, but last August, a traffic stop resulted in the confiscation of another large quantity of heroin and cash from the drug sales.
Remembering Howell’s Settlers
By Charles Daye and Judy Smestad-Nunn he reach of the American Revolution across the colonies was far and wide, but while the Howell area had no major skirmishes, there are still plenty of contributions to note from that era. During the American Revolution, both American and British soldiers were occasionally stationed at Mariner’s Tavern, which would later become Our House Tavern in Farmingdale.
T
At this point, Howell and Farmingdale were not towns. The present-day Howell was still part of the town of Shrewsbury, as Howell would not be carved out until 1801. Archaeologists believe ancient Native Americans settled around the Manasquan watershed around 9000 BC, making the site south of Squankum Yellowbrook Road one of the oldest settlement areas in eastern North America. Colonial settlements heavily revolved around agriculture, settling in locations with high-quality soil. A Methodist Church
was one of the first European settlements in Howell, holding their meetings in a barn in the 1760s and was the first of their kind in Monmouth County. Many of theearly settlement areas would later become suburban neighborhoods including Bethel (which would later become Southard), Adelphia, Freewood Acres, Squankum and Ramtown. Early roads were built to connect farms to the Manasquan River and help transport goods between farms while also giving people access to the mills and churches. Roads that would even-

tually become major highways like Route 33 and Route 9 were based off old Lenape trails while other roads were named after the settlements they connected, such as Lakewood-Farmingdale Road. Brick Township Historian Gene Donatiello shared the story of John Chamberlain with The Times. Chamberlain, who lived in the Village of Cedar Bridge, served in the militia to fight for American independence and ended up being captured twice. Chamberlain was born in the Village of (Settlers - See Page 12)

BlueClaws Capture Large Crowds For Fireworks
–Photos courtesy Lakewood BlueClaws LAKEWOOD – The popular Lakewood BlueClaws minor league games showed how popular they were on a sunny summer’s night that promised the largest fireworks display in the stadium’s history. Crowds, estimated at 10,011 attendees, packed the stands and picnic area to enjoy the day, another high attendance day for the Philadelphia Phillies minor league team. Promotions besides the fireworks were meant to celebrate the Fourth of July, as mascot Buster riled up crowds.

Featured Letter State Needs To Quit Smoking, Start Prevention As a former smoker and survivor of heart disease, I am very concerned about the lack of state funding for tobacco prevention programs and other services that help smokers quit. While smoking rates have decreased dramatically in the past 20 years, smoking is still the leading preventable cause of death and New Jersey is the only state that dedicates no state resources to the fight against this deadly addiction. Programs to prevent children from picking up the habit and to help smokers quit have disappeared. NJ generates approximately $700 million from the tobacco tax, yet we spend nothing on combating nicotine addiction. This is wrong. The NJ Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee recently approved a bill that would reinstate funding for tobacco prevention. Although it would dedicate only five percent of
what is generated from tobacco taxes, it would still provide $33 million to fund programs to curb and prevent tobacco use. This is a great start. New Jersey has made progress in lowering the smoking rates across the state, but there is more work to be done. Disparities in smoking rates exist according to income, mental health status and other factors. In addition, e-cigarette and hookah use among children and young adults is skyrocketing, which increases the chances that a whole new generation will struggle with nicotine addiction as adults. On behalf of the American Heart Association, I urge the state legislature to continue the passage of this legislation to help create a culture of health in the Garden State.

Letters To The Editor The Complaints Are Economic After reading the article about the recent presentation, “Heart of the Stranger: A Portrait of Lakewood’s Or thodox Community,” given at the Lakewood Library, I felt compelled to “set the record straight” regarding the presumed “growing prejudice” against Orthodox Jews in Lakewood. In my opinion (knowing many people who live in Lakewood, and myself working in the area), the issue is not that the people of Lakewood are anti-Semitic. The “prejudice” is not against the Jewish person. It is against the behavior of people who are not taking care of their property (toys, bicycles laying around outside, yards that are unkempt, houses in disrepair, etc.). Living in the same neighborhood as someone who does not take care of his property lessens the value of any owner’s land. The “prejudice” is against the idea that “I have to pay taxes, but my neighbors don’t.” I believe almost anyone would have a hard time being gracious about that! I don’t believe most people in Lakewood object to how their neighbors dress, what they eat or how they worship. However, when certain behaviors or religious principles make life difficult for their neighbors’ economic welfare, there is bound to be some negative backlash. Many of my customers are Orthodox Jewish peo-
ple, and they are very nice people, but if my land lost value because my neighbor wasn’t taking care of his, or if my tax bill was higher than it should be, because my neighbor’s religious beliefs gave him the privilege of not paying any taxes, I would be upset and not too neighborly either! I don’t know what the solution to the problem is, but please don’t label the problem as “Anti-Semitism.” It is about the concern of many for the beautification and economy of Lakewood.

Benefits, Salaries Exorbitant Despite the fact that Freeholder Jack Kelly has withdrawn from consideration for the state parole board, this newspaper published retired detective Dane Wells’ melancholy and self-righteous letter regarding Laurel’s Hester’s “last gasp” wish, not to recover from her illness, but to bequeath her lifelong benefits to Stacie Andree, her 30-year old partner with a full time job. I agreed then and still do with Freeholder Kelly’s decision to abstain from voting on the matter. First, Hester was not permitted to pass benefits to Andree according to the standards at that time. That’s what all the push was about. Second, at age 49, I doubt she was able to claim benefits at all. This should have been one of those rare occasions

when the taxpayers got a break, considering that the typical public school teacher in this state collects $2.4 million in retirement, having contributed less than $200,000. Same is true of the police, as was documented in a cover story about the Toms River police force which ran in the Asbury Park Press. The public sector unions are strangling New Jersey. Their exorbitant salaries and benefits which we read about every day impact the cost of living of everyone else in the state. According to recent articles in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, the state’s condition has become so perilous that a failure to honor its debts, similar to what happened in Detroit and is taking place in Puerto Rico, is the most likely case going forward. Meanwhile, Wells and Andree will collect millions as long as they can fog a mirror. Bad things happen when good people fail to confront them, as it did in this case. C. Crowley Toms River
Demand Barrier To Parkway The poor air quality, loss of quality of life and substantial health issues because of the poor planning and lack of concern for the residents Brick Township by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority ( NJTA) Commissioners continues. The bureaucrats of the NJTA seem to have had purchased the extremely short and young trees in the Evergreen Woods Park Condominium area either from some cohort as a political payback or benefactor because the trees are a sham. The NJTA knows that over 30 percent of those trees are dead already and should have been replaced by more mature 7 to 10 foot trees. If those Commissioners along with the council members just take a walk through the North Loop of Evergreen Woods they will
see inadequacy of these so called trees. The NJTA has already wasted tens of thousands of taxpayer and toll-payers monies on a publicity ploy that was inadequate and doomed to failure. Anyone walking through the North Loop will see that these trees do not meet the needs of the people and were never going to provide reasonable benefit. As they walk through the development and view these horrid looking dead brown plantings all can see the esthetic appearance caused by the ghastly dead and dying plants. On the walk they can breathe in the toxins of the diesel trucks passing by, view the tens of thousands of cars racing along and maybe even get to hear the blast from one of those trucks or motorcycles that pass by the houses each evening. During their walk they can enjoy for a few minutes the lives of the 2,000 residents of the area. These trees are not a shield to the toxins that flow over the ballfields, the high schools and elementary schools, the playgrounds and the homes of Brick Township residents. The noise has an impact on the residents that live within a few hundred yards of the Garden State Parkway but the toxins associated with diesel trucks and 300,000 cars passing each day impact every child, senior and the everyday citizen that lives within a half mile of the roadway. The Commissioners are killing New Jersey’s citizens. The long-term impact will be the same as what happened with cigarettes. Years from now it will become more evident and there will be deadly health implications. Heart attacks and lung disease will increase and movies will be made of how politicians and bureaucrats ignored the problem, just like with Ciba-Geigy. But the Brick and Ocean County residents don’t want movies, lawsuits and financial settlements (Letters - See Page 16)

Summer Is Back And So Are Tourists
Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone MONMOUTH COUNTY – Summer has returned. I hope ever yone is enjoying the recent weather, and enjoying all that Mon mouth Cou nt y has to offer – beaches, parks, lakes, rivers, boardwalks, lig ht houses, museu ms, theaters, historical sites, restau rants and much more. The tourist season is in full swing, and according to early estimates, we are paced to match or
exceed last year’s numbers, providing economic stability here in our region. Speaking of tourist season, I am happy to report that the dredging of the Shark River is set to restart in the next few weeks, getting us closer to increasing the recreational side of the Shark River corridor, as well as restoring the cha n nels for ou r commercial fishing industry. As you may k now, the dredging had started late last fall and was halted on January 1, due to state regulations in place to protect spawning and the early life stages of winter flounder
and anadromous fish. The dredging project is moving along nicely due to a coalition of state, county and local leaders that effectively advocated for the project, including Senator Jen Beck, Committeeman Randy Bishop, the County of Monmouth, the Board of Chosen Freeholders, the New Jersey Department of Transportation, the Office of Maritime Resources, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the governing bodies of the par ticipating municipalities including Neptune City, Neptune, Belmar and Wall.
NJ DOT identified viable solut ion s t hat i ncluded using innovative technologies to remove approximately 102,000 cubic yards of sediment comprised of sand and silt from the river. The sediment will be hydraulically dredged and piped via a secure welded pipeline to the selected dewatering locations. The dewatered material will then be trucked to the Monmouth County Reclamation Center for beneficial use. The county is extremely pleased with the progress of the project thus far, and on behalf of my project
partners and my fellow freeholders, I would like to thank our contractor Mobile Dredging and Pumping Co., of Chester, PA. I have heard from many constituents recently regarding their valid and realistic concer ns on JCP&L’s Monmouth County Reliable Project. We hear you and have been in constant contact with the governing bodies of the affected communities. Fellow members of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and I, share the same concerns that the mayors and governing bodies have with
the installation of these large monopoles on New Jersey Transit proper ty and the potential impacts they may have on these communities. We believe the lines would be much better served if they were buried, and urge Assemblywoman Handlin to use her authority over NJ Transit and the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to see that this is resolved in the best interest of our residents and affected communities. Feel free to continue to contact my off ice with concerns on these important issues or any others concerning the county.
From The Desk Of The Monmouth County Freeholders -Lillian G. Burry, Gary J. Rich, Sr., John P. Curley, Thomas A. Arnone and Serena DiMaso.
MONMOUTH COU NTY – Earlier this year, the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders approved the 2016 county budget, which was $18.2 million lower than the previous year. But those savings could be reduced by an estimated $1 million to implement the new statewide Criminal Justice Reform set to take effect on January 1. “We are committed to effectively implementing and administering the new
State Must Fund Criminal Justice Reform
law as good public policy, but there are going to be substantial costs associated with implementing the reforms, and those additional costs will impact the delivery of other critical services and ultimately the taxpayers,” said Monmouth County Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone. A conservative estimate puts the additional costs at no less than $700,000, but there are many potential unknown factors about implementing
the new reforms that will only become clear once staffing requirements to meet the need are revealed following implementation. “The state’s efforts to streamline ser vices are laudable, but county governments do not have the financial resources to provide for additional salaries, wages and benefits, while also assuming additional operations and maintenance expenses, and providing court security enhancements
and other capital expenses all required by Criminal Justice Reform,” said Monmouth County Freeholder Deputy Director Serena DiMaso. The Freeholders unanimously passed a resolution urging Governor Chris Christie and the State Legislature to dedicate a funding mechanism for county governing bodies to offset the costs associated with implementing and administering Criminal Justice Reform. The resolution urges the passage of Assembly
Bill A-3491, sponsored by Assemblyman Benjie E. Wimberly, of the 35th Legislative District, to establish the “County Government Criminal Justice Reform Administration Fund.” The Assembly Bill would increase fees and assessments levied on defendants in Superior Court or municipal courts. The fees would be paid into a dedicated fund set aside to specifically offset the costs of implementing the new Criminal
Justice Reform. “The Freeholders worked diligently to find the $18.2 million savings we passed along to county taxpayers. A continuous source of funding is necessary to assist us in executing the Criminal Justice Reform plan, and that funding source needs to come from the State,” said Monmouth County Freeholder Gary J. Rich, Sr., who oversees the county’s Department of Finance.

Declaration Of Independence Rare Reprint On Display
SHREWSBURY – The first formal showing of an 1880 reprint of the Declaration of Independence was on display at the Monmouth County Historical Association’s Allen House during the reading of the Declaration on July 4. It will be on permanent display at either the Eastern branch Library on Route 35 or the Headquarters Library, 125 Symmes Drive, Manalapan. Renee Swartz, chairman of the Monmouth County Library Commission, said the commission is pleased to partner with not only the Historical Association but the Shrewsbury Boy Scout Troop, Christ Church and Mayor Donald Barden in presenting a Fourth of July celebration at the Four Corners Historic District at Route 35 and Shrewsbury Avenue to celebrate the 240th anniversary of the signing the Declaration at Philadelphia. The reprint was a gift to the library from F. Neal Warner of Freehold, who donated it to the library several months ago. The library consulted with Monmouth County archivist Gary Saretzky and following his recommendations, had the work restored to archival
quality standards by Daniel Fenski of Windsor Gallery, Route 34, Colts Neck. “We are so very grateful to Mr. Fenski for his generous donation of his talent and work in restoring the reprint to such high standards,” said Swartz. “We were honored with Mr. Warner’s generosity in selecting us for this valuable piece, and are happy to be able to display it for the first time at a Fourth of July ceremony.” The work, entitled, “The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America in Congress” is a reprint of Benjamin Owen Tyler’s 1818 version reproduced by Durham and New York: The Giles Lithographic and Liberty Printing Co. for Mess. W. Duke, Sons & Company. Tyler’s documents were the first to produce the Declaration in script and included facsimile signatures of the signers. Reportedly, the publisher designed the ornamental writing, retaining the same punctuation and copying each capital letter as in the original document. Professionals have said the facsimile signatures are so exact, it is difficult to tell them from the actual signatures of the original signers.

Cedar Bridge, of what was then-Monmouth County on June 6, 1742. When he was 34, he enlisted as a private in the Monmouth Militia where he served several short enlistments during the war. He served in the Battle of Long Island and the capture of a refugee boat at the Manasquan Inlet. Chamberlain was taken prisoner by the British, twice, and escaped each time, Donatiello wrote. He received a government pension for his service. In 1776 he married Ann Sylvester of Long Island and they lived in (what is now) Brick at the Metedeconk Bridge. After 1812 it was known as Chamberlain’s Bridge after the landowner and Revolutionary War soldier. When mapmakers redrew the maps that formed Ocean County, they changed the name from Chamberlain’s Bridge to Chambers Bridge, so his name remains with us today, Donatiello wrote as part of his research on the township. Brick Township was not formed until 1850 as part of a State legislative act that created

Ocean County, but this area was the site of activity during the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) when the township was part of Monmouth County, Shrewsbury Township, and then part of Howell. Eleanor Angott in her book, The History of Brick Township, wrote that in the early stages of the Revolutionary War, inhabitants in this area were oblivious to the war, and they were focused on making a living with agricultural endeavors or from the ocean, she wrote. While this part in the Revolution was far away from its larger operations, residents here still had strong reasons for fighting, mainly to protect their saltworks, which the British were ordered to destroy. Salt was needed for the preservation of meat and fish, and later, the patriot army needed salt for both food and gunpowder, and it is said that the saltworks at Union Landing on the Manasquan River made the gunpowder for Washington’s army, wrote Angott. In New Jersey, there was a call for continental troops in October 1775 when the Continental Congress recommended that NJ raise two battalions, each containing eight companies, each company to consist
of 68 privates. They were to enlist for a year and paid $5 a month. Each enlistee was allowed one felt hat, a pair of yarn stockings and shoes. Healthy, sound and able-bodied men ages 16 to 50 were allowed to enlist, Angott wrote, and men from all stations of life began to join military companies. It wasn’t until the winter and spring of 1776 that people of the New Jersey Province began to realize the immediate danger of actual invasion, she wrote. By then, many men who lived in nowOcean and Monmouth Counties and enlisted in the militia, including such familiar local names as Havens, Longstreet, Forman, Allen and Osborn. “This wilderness had suddenly become alive with activity and action with the Toms River, Metedeconk and Kettle Creek areas as centers of brief skirmishes,” Angott wrote. After cutting off imported salt from New England and foreign sources, the British Army was trying to destroy the colonist’s efforts at supplying their own. In the spring of 1778 a British force destroyed the saltworks at Toms River by entering through Cranberry Inlet, which

is the present-day site of the now-Acme in Ortley Beach. Settlers in New Jersey, as well as the other colonies, were a mix of Tories--also known as Loyalists, who sided with England; and Whigs--also known as Patriots, who were against anything the crown wanted, Angott wrote. There was also a neutral third party, “Society of Friends,” whose religion forbade them to fight. “They felt that all good Christians should willingly pay taxes,” she wrote. Meanwhile, NJ Governor William Franklin (Benjamin Franklin’s son) believed in a diplomatic solution, despite implorations from his father to favor the Americans, but he refused. To the north, the Battle of Monmouth would rage on June 28, 1778, when the Continental Army attacked the British Army column in modern Freehold Borough. The battle, reenacted each year, is not a historic site, said to be one of the best preserved ones of the war. The state park interpretive center hosts a variety of artifacts and displays for visitors to learn more about New Jersey’s part in the American Revolution.

7 Cool Things to Do with Cucumbers By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Once summer rolls around there’s always one or two cucumbers in my fridge. Cucumbers have a lot of health benefits, and they’re actually a fruit, not a vegetable. They’re in the same family as melons, zucchini and pumpkin. Cucumbers have many active components, among them is an anti-inflammatory flavonol called “fisetin,” which supports brain health. Cucumbers offer compounds that are antioxidants, so they help prevent systemic rusting. Here’s some fresh ways to use cucumbers: 1. Soothe itchy eyes. Cut two slices off and lay upon your eyes. This feels especially comfy if you have red, itchy eyes from whatever’s blooming. You can also cut slices and put in a jar of water and infuse the water for an hour (refrigerate), then make a compress out of the cucumber water. Squeeze it and lay that upon your eyes. 2. Juice them. They contain lariciresinol, pinoresinol and secoisolariciresinol which are three important compounds when it comes to reducing risk of reproductive cancers (ovarian, breast, uterine, prostate). Secoisolariciresinol is also found in flax. 3. Heal burns. Cut the slices lengthwise and apply to areas of sunburn, or use the compress idea from above. 4. Drink them. Cut cucumbers into 1/2 slices along with 1/4 slices of lemon and put into a beautiful glass decanter or ca-
rafe with some ice. Let it marinate for an hour and then drink all day. Among the many health benefits, you may notice a mild diuretic effect that could help with blood pressure and weight loss. 5. Eat them. The profound medicinal benefits of cucumbers are not apparent to you. I bet you walk right past them in the produce section all the time. These guys can block COX2 enzymes (similar to Celebrex, a popular medication) dampening down pain-causing cytokines. While cucumbers are not as strong as drugs, I’d still chop some into your salad along with fresh tomatoes and basil leaves. Finish with cilantro-lime vinaigrette. This salad adds fiber, which in turn helps you manage weight. 6. Treat acne with it. Cucumbers have the ability to remove dirt, dead skin cells, bacteria and left over make-up residue. It naturally calms and cools a red or inflamed area. Put a quarter of an unpeeled cucumber in your food grinder along with a tablespoon of witch hazel and 2 drops of tea tree oil and 5 drops lavender. Grind to a smooth consistency and apply as a ‘mask’ or dab on an area. 7. Make a toner for your face. Slice cucumbers into two cups pure distilled water. Strain out the cucumbers so you are left with cucumber water. Add one tablespoon of organic aloe vera leaf juice, 10 drops essential oil of lavender and five drops of jasmine. For oily skin add five drops of helichrysum. If you have dry skin, use rose oil.

Rock The Farm To Benefit Recovery Community Center LINCROFT – Rock The Farm is a premier Music and Food Truck Festival located in Central New Jersey. This family friendly event with a kid zone, pony rides, petting zoo, face painting and much more will take place on August 27 from 1 to 10 p.m. at Brookdale Community College. Tickets are $50 in advance, $60 at the gate. Kids 10 and under are free. The event is in its third consecutive year and all proceeds from the festival benefit New Jersey’s Recovery Community Center, an organization that promotes positive life choices by aiding drug recovery efforts and inspiring a healthy lifestyle. The drug epidemic, heroin in particular, has been on the rise in the state of New Jersey since
2010, and in 2014, it claimed a record 781 lives due to overdoses. Former addict Daniel Regan, who has developed a system with an 85 percent success rate, founded the Recovery Community center, with his mother Lynn Regan. Regan traveled all across the United States and found that most programs don’t include aftercare, a vital part to the recovering addict. His foundation focuses on getting the user clean and helping them stay. The organization forms a close-knit family bond, which ensures each individual has a strong support group. Rock The Farm is one of the main events the organization holds to bring that family bond full circle.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
The Wealth Was All Mother’s Dear Joel My husband and I keep our monies separated. We decided this because this is a second marriage for each of us. I want to leave my money to my children and none to my husband. He is upset with me and it has become a big bone of contention between us. I feel like my first husband earned it and that my kids should inherit it. Who is right? Answer: If you are a regular reader of my column. You already know that I prefer not to deal with right and wrong. If I were to do that it would only add to suffering. Additionally I am not an attorney. There are certain
states where a s p ou s e i s automatically eligible to receive part of the estate. Not knowing what state you live in, I can’t answer that part of this accurately. I suggest that you have a consultation with an attorney. I want to add that this is your “will.” It is yours to do as you wish. I wish you a long healthy life. Joel Write to preferredcares.com.

County Combats West Nile Virus Appearance In Wall MONMOUTH COUNTY – Evidence of West Nile Virus (WNV) activity in the West Belmar section of Wall Township and northern Spring Lake Heights required that the Monmouth County Mosquito Control Division conduct mosquito control operations from 9:30 p.m. until midnight on June 28. The mosquito control staff conducted a ground spray operation on residential streets south of Belmar Boulevard between Route 35 and Route 71 in Wall Township and on residential streets north of Allaire Road between Old Mill Road and Route 71 in Spring Lake Heights. “The goal of the ground spray program is to reduce the public health risk from WNV in the area,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Serena DiMaso, liaison to the Mosquito Control division. “It is also important to remember to always wear insect repellant when outdoors, even if it is only for a few minutes.” T he applicat ion was made usi ng truck-mounted ultra-low volume equipment dispensing a very fine mist of the pesticide Duet. Duet is a d-phenothrin/prallethrin and piperonyl butoxide based pesticide product that is used to control mosquitoes in outdoor residential and recreational areas. More information about Duet can also be found on the Mosquito Control webpage at VisitMonmouth.com. People who become infected with WNV are most often bitten by an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected with WNV when they feed on infected birds. Infected mosquitoes can then spread the virus to humans and other animals. “It is important to learn the ways to reduce your risk of being bitten by a mosquito,”
said DiMaso. “There are many insect-borne diseases and taking steps to reduce your risk of getting bitten could save your life. We are reminding people to ‘Fight the Bite’ by wearing protectant and removing standing water from their properties.” The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says people can reduce the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes and, as a result, lower their exposure to insect-borne diseases by following some simple steps: When outdoors, apply insect repellent, following the label instructions – especially for use on children. Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants whenever possible. Avoid outdoor activity at peak mosquito times – dusk and dawn. When enjoying the outdoors, whether at home or while traveling, make sure to always wear insect repellent. Repellents that contain DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus will help protect everyone from both ticks and mosquitoes. Removing all areas of standing water in and around homes and businesses will stop mosquitoes from breeding. Prior to removal, standing water can be treated with pesticides to kill mosquito larvae. “Seven days plus standing water equals mosquitos,” said DiMaso. “Mosquitos breed where there is standing water. So, turnover any unused flower pots and outdoor toys. If you have old tires on your property, they need to be emptied of any standing water, too.” To help residents identify ways to help reduce the mosquito population, Monmouth County has created a mosquito habitat checklist, which is available on visitmonmouth.com/mosquito.

because their health is more important. With increases in lung ailments, autism and asthma something must be done and done soon. Although not a perfect solution to the devastation, a 14-foot pollution, noise and safety wall needs to be constructed in many areas of Brick Township, and tens of thousands of trees need to be replanted to correct some of the destruction caused by the NJTA. I am hopeful that the Commissioners of the NJTA are just short sighted, incompetent individuals who think that 3 to 5 foot trees will cure the ills caused by their authorization of the illegal and immoral destruction of the environment surrounding the Garden State Parkway in the Brick Township area. I am hoping that they are just ignorant individuals who don’t know the harm they are causing to the health of tens of thousands of Brick residents. I am not of the belief

that they NJTA Commissioners are truly evil people who only care about their own pocketbooks at the expense of the health of thousands of New Jersey’s citizens, but something needs to change. As seen in election results, the people are fighting back against the big government-spawned bureaucracies, and our local representatives need to stand with them and demand action now. Bureaucracies use delaying tactics, lies, and misstatements to overwhelm the citizens but the citizens and their representatives must demand immediate. The people’s representatives, must stand with the residents and not the big bureaucracies like the NJTA Commissioners. These Commissioners have shown they don’t care about the residents of Brick or the opinions of the citizens’ representatives so we all must stand strong and defeat these lies, tactics and deception. We must stop the abuse. Hopefully this is still a country of the people, by the people and for the people! Jack Sluka Brick

Aside from a laugh or two, attendees will walk away with steps to downsize or clear out with ease. It is perfect for savers and sen-
timentalists. Novak is the author of five best sellers, including “Keep This, Toss That.” She has been seen on HGTV and QVC and most recently served as a home blogger for Martha Stewart’s Whole Living.

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.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Swift Saute: Chicken Marsala A Quick Fix For Summer Dinner
By Wolfgang Puck
Apart from the holiday season, of course, summer seems to be the busiest time of the year. But unlike food-centered fall and winter celebrations, from June through August people want to get out of the kitchen as much as possible. Many memorable summer meals are cooked outdoors. Those prepared in the kitchen tend to be quicker. Not only are we dashing around to various warm weather activities; but we also simply don’t want to spend more time than we need to in the warmest room of the house. That’s why I like to saute during summer. Put a pan on the stove, heat up a little oil or butter, add small or thin pieces of food that cook quickly, finish it all off with an easy pan sauce, and you’ve got a delicious one-burner meal ready to serve in less than 30 minutes. One of my favorite sautes at any time of year is a recipe commonly known as Chicken Marsala, named for the fruity-tasting fortified wine from the Sicilian city of the same name. You’ll find it in many Italian restaurants, but the dish is surprisingly easy to make in your own kitchen. Part of the dish’s quick cooking time relies on using thinly pounded pieces, or scaloppini, of boneless, skinless chicken breast. (You can also substitute turkey breast, pork or veal scaloppini.) It’s quick and easy to flatten the scaloppini yourself, but many supermarkets also sell them already prepped and ready to cook. The only other element of the dish many people find challenging is the Marsala wine itself. After all, you may decide at the last minute to cook this dish, but may not want to make a special trip to a wine shop to buy the Marsala. I’ve come up with a solution for you, though. As you’ll see in the recipe, I create a flavor similar to Marsala by steeping raisins in white wine; and you can even add the raisins to the dish, too, for an extra tangysweet surprise. The only other thing you need to complete the meal is a quick side dish or two to serve with the scaloppini. I like rice or mashed potatoes to help soak up the delicious sauce. And baby spinach leaves rapidly sauteed with garlic in a little olive oil makes a perfect vegetable accompaniment. The results are casual enough to serve for a weeknight family meal, yet so beautiful and flavorful that dinner party guests will rave too. And you don’t have to tell anyone how little time you spent in the kitchen! CHICKEN SCALOPPINI MARSALA WITH MUSHROOMS Serves 4 1 cup (250 mL) dry white wine 1 cup (250 mL) seedless raisins 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, each 5 to 6 ounces (150 to 185 g), cut cross-
wise and diagonally into 2 equal pieces Extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped shallots 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic 3/4 pound (750 g) cultivated mushrooms, stems trimmed, caps thinly sliced 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed 3 large fresh sage leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried sage 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce or good-quality bottled barbecue sauce 3/4 cup (185 mL) heavy cream Chopped fresh Italian parsley, for garnish Good-quality canned chicken broth, or water, if needed In a small saute pan or saucepan, combine the white wine and raisins. Bring to a boil over high heat; then, turn off the heat and set aside to steep. Meanwhile, coat the chicken breasts with a little oil. Place 2 halves, spaced apart, in a large heavy-duty plastic bag. With a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy small saucepan, gently flatten the pieces to scaloppini 1/4 to 1/3 inch (6 to 8 mm) thick. Repeat with the remaining halves. Arrange the scaloppini on parchment paper. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Dust very lightly but evenly on both sides with flour. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add the scaloppini, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once and adding a little butter. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with more oil as needed and the chicken. Spoon excess fat from the skillet, leaving a thin glaze. Add the shallots and garlic. Saute until the shallots begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper, and the sage. Saute until the mushrooms are browned and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the reserved white wine and, if you like, raisins. Otherwise, strain the wine through a sieve and discard the raisins. Cook, stirring and scraping to deglaze the pan deposits, until the liquid reduces by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the sage. Stir in the hoisin or barbecue sauce and simmer to thicken slightly. Stir in the cream and bring to a simmer. Return the scaloppini to the pan. Simmer about 1 minute to rewarm them while stirring with a spoon to coat them with the sauce. Sprinkle with some parsley. If the sauce looks too thick, thin with a little broth or water. Divide the chicken scaloppini among serving plates. Spoon the sauce over and around the chicken. Sprinkle with more parsley. Serve immediately.
