We Remember Dallas
–Photos by Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office A vigil held July 11 at Monmouth County Police Academy honored the five officers slain in Dallas. By Catherine Galioto FR EEHOLD – Emergency responders, police, elected officials and residents throughout Monmouth County were moved by a poignant vigil July 11 that remembered those slain in the recent Dallas attacks that left five police there dead and several others injured.

and police benevolent associations joined a vigil held at the Monmouth County Police Academy just before dusk. The event began with a memorial parade featuring honor and color guard and pipes and drum brigades. At the academy, the vigil began with speeches and proceeded to a wreath-laying of red, white and blue flowers with messages such as We Support Dallas. Each participant was given the chance to light a candle as the sun
set, basking the photos of the five officers in candlelight. The aftershocks of the deadliest day for law enforcement in the (Dallas - See Page 5)
Kent Road Detour Continues
–Photo by Catherine Galioto The detour signage in place at Kent and Lanes Mills roads in Howell. By Catherine Galioto HOWELL – Kent Road remains closed with detours in place for a reconstruction project by the township. Detours begin at Lanes Mill Road and Kent, with traffic sent either down Lanes Mills or to Church Road as part of the detour. The left turn lane from Lanes Mills is closed to divert traffic northbound to the Church Road detour, and the straight-through
lane on Kent Road is closed to divert traffic onto Lanes Mills toward Route 9. The closed portion stretches to Kent Road’s border with Jackson, meaning traffic would be diverted onto Bethel Church, Ford Road or Route 9 instead of Kent. The closures began July 5 and were planned for eight weeks, to complete drainage improvements, pavement repair, resurfacing and restoration.
Rescued Dogs Doing Well
–Photo courtesy MCSPCA More than 270 dogs were rescued from a Bennett Road home in Howell, considered one of the largest number of dogs hoarded in one residence. The Monmouth County SPCA is seeking help in caring, fostering and adopting the dogs.
By Charles Daye HOWELL – Several dozen of the more than 275 dogs rescued from a Howell home hoarding case are already adopted, with official saying the hundreds of dogs are doing well and socializing in area shelters. In early June more 276 dogs were rescued from a home on Bennett Road in Howell. This was considered one of the largest hoarding cases reported in Monmouth County. The dogs were mixed breeds and small terriers. Lieutenant Thomas Nuccio of the

Monmouth Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) said all the dogs are “doing pretty well.” Between 50 and 60 dogs have already been adopted. Healthwise, most of the dogs were in good shape. A few of them had parasite issues which have since been taken care of. As officials and animal shelter staff converged on the home to assist the rescue, several dogs were discovered pregnant while another set had given birth. Since the rescue, none of the dogs have died or needed to be
euthanized, officials said. As a result of behavioral issues, approximately 20 dogs were sent to foster homes, Nuccio said. None were aggressive or violent but they were nervous, scared and emotionally shut down. “Just trying to bring them out of their shell” said Nuccio, regarding the dogs in foster care. Between 30 and 40 dogs still remain with the Monmouth SPCA and are still seeking new homes. Meanwhile, the homeowners face more than 500 counts of (Dogs - See Page 5)

Nearly 7 Decades Of Ocean County Fair
By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – For nearly 70 years the Ocean County Fair has created family memories, whether showcasing the 4-H achievements of local students and farms, or with its festival atmosphere. But the history of the fair is one that has showcased the trends of the time, now incorporating food trucks where in decades past there’d be baking contests or exhibitions on who had the best jam. Jeff Adams, president of the Ocean County Board of Agriculture who oversees the fair, shared several historical programs and articles from the fair’s past, which dates back
to 1947, when it was more of an agricultural field day than the rides, concerts and food vendors that are a part of today’s festivities. Adams said the focus is still on those traditional 4-H fair activities, and in fact, many of those pursuits are seeing renewed interest. “We have gotten calls, asking if some of the years’ past elements would be coming back,” Adams said. Next year, when the fair turns 70, would be a great opportunity to incorporate much more fair history into the line-up. While the number of participants in the farm and animal demonstrations remain steady, Adams said this year the number of

vendors has grown. “I think that’s a sign of the recovering economy.” In 1965, the fair was still at Ocean County Park in Lakewood, and was held over two days ‑‑ August 4 and 5 – compared to the five-day festival now at Miller Airpark in Berkeley. Adams shared the fair program book from 1965, on loan from the Ocean County Historical Society in Toms River. The booster ads showcase many legacy and now long-gone businesses, or feature faces from Ocean County history – such as a message from Freeholder Robert J. Miller, now namesake of the airpark where the fair is held. “Tomorrow’s Leaders, Today” was the theme then. In its welcome message, the fair committee mentions the free admission and parking. Today, the parking is free but a $7 general admission is required each day of the fair, which spans July 13 to 17 this year. Adams said that the old programs now only show the fair’s history, but the fair’s own commitment to history. It’s a bit of a time capsule showing the demonstrations and activities that were allowed then that just aren’t today. For example, there was once a division for folks who raised quail to exhibit their animals. These days, quail farming is a regulated activity, which lead to that fair division becoming extinct. Same with the live animal auctions, such as the “fat lamb” auction or Blue Ribbon prized lamb auction, where 4-H members could auction off their

Or there’s the use of “Queen of the Fair” or “Princess” contests, when there is now the annual Fair Ambassador, for example. The 1965 program also mentioned the many other fair activities, such as the pie-eating contest and milk-drinking contest. On the first day of the fair, you could find a barbershop quartet contest or join the big square dance on the second day. Check out the fair’s chicken dinner for $1.50 and (Fair - See Page 5)

afterward enjoy the Ocean County String Band’s concert, billed as “The Happiest Music In The World.” “When you get into conversation with people about the fair, the memories come out of the person you are talking with. I hear so many stories of memories of the fair, many things I share, but always something unique that was important to that person,” said Adams. “Obviously it was a significant time while growing up. I want to be a part of that kid’s memory 20, 30 years from now. They don’t need to know me, they just need to remember the good time that was had.” He said a significant number of people ask if the fair would ever go back to its original location, in Ocean County Park, Lakewood. But he said the logistics are better at Miller Airpark, where the traffic lanes allow for less gridlock and there is more access and ground to add rides that wouldn’t be possible at the Lakewood county park. Adams helps take the reins of the fair as a co-manager through the auspices of the county board of agriculture as the Meyer Family retires from the role as organizers. The Meyers, who ran the fair for more than 30 years through several generations, helped to bring their expertise as festival and carnival operators to that chapter of the fair’s history. Adams said the fair marries the 4-H exhibits with the carnival. There’s thrill rides and cotton candy but also prized rabbits
The Howell Times, July 16, 2016, Page 5 and chickens. You can find a rock concert or a horse show going on at this year’s fair. “I think the goals over the years for the fair have been to make sure 4-H kids have a platform to showcase their work, provide fun and entertainment for all fair goers, represent the county, create an event that parents can share with their kids and also be a financially successful event for the Ocean County Board of Agriculture,” he said. Growing up enjoying the fair himself, what was Adams’ favorite things to do? “I am an animal person. I enjoy seeing the animals that the kids have raised and cared for during the year. You will always see a chicken, duck or rabbit breed that you have never seen before,” he said. On July 11, the tent displays were already up and the buzz of activity was well underway as Adams and the planning committee was zipping around the yet-to-be-assembled fairgrounds via golf cart, tending to all the chores. Rides would arrive that evening, and vendors would set up the final touches on their displays July 13 afternoon. “We have some old entertainment that is returning that has been popular, new acts like bull riding that I think will be well received. We made some changes in the ride area that will allow the ride vendor to bring in several more rides, some bigger and more variety,” he added. Special entertainment includes After the Reign and the Amish Outlaws musical acts, as well as a comedy hypnotist/magician. For a full schedule, see the fair’s website at oceancountyfair.com.

Nuccio said the maximum fines is not a likely scenario, but that restitution could be pursued alongside community service or even jail time up to six months.

United States since the September 11, 2001 attacks continue to be felt locally, as messages of support have flooded police departments, many in prominent locations such as firehouse message display boards. In Manchester, Ridgeway Vol. Fire.

with the disorderly persons offense. The several organizations that have assisted in the response and care of the dogs has sought donations to help fund the cost of the influx of animals in need of care and adoption services. The House of Independents in Asbury Park will hold a special concert fundraiser to benefit the rescued dogs on July 22. The event features performances by Quincy Mumford & the Reason Why, Garden State Line, WYLAND and Lyons. There will also be a silent auction where all the proceeds will go to the Monmouth County SPCA. For more information on that event, visit houseofindependents.com.
Cassville Fire Company in Jackson had a similar message, “Jackson Police – We have your backs!” on its board. The Dallas shooting, which was at an otherwise peaceful protest of recent deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile by police in separate incidents, had one likely sniper who shot 12 police, five of whom died from the attack, and several others injured, according to reports. The five officers are Dallas Area Rapid Transit Officer Brent Thompson, Dallas Police Officer Patrick Zamarripa, Senior Cpl. Lorne Ahrens, Sgt. Michael Smith and Officer Michael Krol.

Featured Letter Summer Safety Means CPR Summer has arrived! Whether you’re spending time by the Jersey Shore or by the local pool, the A mer ican Heart Association encourages families to be prepared for summer safety by learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR. Accidents, choking and drowning are leading causes of death in children. Every day, about 10 people die from unintentional drowning, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Of these, two of the 10 are children aged 14 or younger. Learning CPR can help save lives in cases of drowning. CPR is also vital when sudden cardiac arrest – a leading cause of death in America – strikes without warning. Nearly 350,000 out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests occur annually, and 90 percent of people who suffer cardiac arrests outside a hospital die. But CPR, especially
if performed immediately, can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival. Since 2008, the American Heart Association has recommended Hands-Only CPR when you witness an adult or teen suddenly collapse. Ha nd s- O n ly CPR teaches basic steps: First, call 9-1-1 and then push hard and fast on the center of the chest until professional help or an AED arrives. By using Hands-Only CPR, bystanders can still act to improve the odds of su r vival, whether they are trained in conventional CPR or not. T he A mer ica n He a r t A s s o c i a t i o n encourages everyone to view a one-minute Hands-Only CPR video at heart.org/ handsonlycpr. Al Rundio Chair, NJ American Heart Association ECC Committee

Letters To The Editor Drones Require Responsibility If drones are used improperly, it could be a hazard and invasion of privacy. Nowhere in the June 4 letter, “Let Drones Fly,” was the word “responsibility” used. Flying over public events could be an invitation to injuries and possible fatalities if a malfunction to the craft occurs and flying over residential areas has the same potential for disaster. The Academy of Model Aeronautics’ National Model Aircraft Safety Code states “all pilots shall avoid f lying directly over unprotected people, vessels, vehicles or structures, and shall avoid endangerment of life and property of others.” Recently a drone flying over Leisure Village West crashed into a house. Fortunately there were no injuries, but in violation of the safety code, no visible name, address or AMA number of the owner was affixed to the outside of the drone. The question that must be asked, why was it f lying over a residential area? The drone was equipped with a camera and a GPS system leaving much room for conjecture as to the reason for being overhead. Accepted is the fact that drones may have a positive effect for some local companies, but if used for professional reasons, there should be insurance coverage, given the fact the majority of drones are flown by amateurs who are flying without training, or insurance for if
a minor flies the drone without mature guidance. Rules are put into place, not to prohibit these activities, but to ensure safety and protect the general public at large. It is the power of the town council to enact ordinances that protect citizens of the township from rogue occurrences. This being the reason we were elected. Charles L. Frattini, Sr. Manchester Township Councilman
Disregard For Memorial Day No parade attendance, no display of American flags, shopping as usual, schools open, bus drivers required to work; completely oblivious to the importance of this holiday. This is the conduct of our friends, the local Orthodox Jewish community. Watch and see that ancient play of “anti-semitism” is directed at this writer. This was complete disrespect for a very precious national holiday. Thomas Shedaker Howell

centers. These centers provide essential services such as cancer screenings, STI testing, and contraceptives to NJ women and men who need care. Since Christie cut funding for these services in 2010, six women’s health clinics have closed and over a dozen others have cut hours, including Saturday hours which allow working women to access affordable reproductive healthcare if they cannot take off work. FQHCs, or Federally Qualified Health Centers, are intended to provide healthcare to everyone regardless of income, yet they alone are not enough to support NJ women’s health needs, and sometimes refer women to Planned Parenthood. I support Planned Parenthood in their efforts to restore funding to benefit NJ citizens’ health; in Ocean County alone, STI rates have risen nearly 50 percent since 2010’s funding was cut. In May, I called the off ice of Senator Samuel Thompson, the NJ District 12 Senator, asking to leave a message for the Senator to indicate constituent support of the bill. I was hung up on by a staff member who claimed not to know a lot about the issue; he did not take my message. Our legislature needs to pass this bill and, in the case of a veto by Governor Christie, override the veto to provide New Jersians with the healthcare they need. E. Rosie Driscoll Jackson
Thanks For Hindu Festivals In Holidays List In its recently adopted resolution—”The List of Religious Holidays Permitting Student Absence from School”—New Jersey State Board of Education (NJSBE) listed 19 Hindu festivals. It included four festivals in October itself, including Navaratri, which alone is
listed for 10 days. This “list of religious holidays on which it shall be mandatory to excuse a student,” includes the Hindu festivals of Guru Purnima, Naga Panchami, Raksha Bandhan, Krishna Janmashtami, Ganesha Chaturthi, Onam, Navaratri, Duserra, Diwali Goverdhan Puja, Makar Sankranti, Pongal, Vasant Panchami, Maha Shivaratri, Holi, Chandramana Yugadi, Souramana Yugadi, Ramnavami and Hanuman Jayanti. We urged the board in the past to add five festivals on the list, which are included on the list. This “list” is a step in the positive direction and we thank NJSBE and its President Mark W. Bierdon for being inclusive. We urge theother 49 US states and District of Columbia to include all these 19 Hindu festivals on their lists of religious holidays permitting student absence from school. Hinduism is rich in festivals and festivals are very dear to Hindu families. Since families want to celebrate these festivals together along with their school going children, we do not want our children to be deprived of any privileges at the school because of thus resulting absences on these days. According to the NJSBE resolution: “Any student absent from school because of a religious holiday may not be deprived of any award or of eligibility or opportunity to compete for any award because of such absence,” “Students who miss a test or examination because of absence on a religious holiday must be given the right to take an alternate test or examination,” “Boards of education, at their discretion, may add other days to the list for the schools of their districts,” and “Any absence because of a religious holiday must be recorded…as an excused absence.” Rajan Zed President, Universal Society of Hinduism

Capitol Comments NEW JERSEY – Legislation sponsored by Assembly Republicans Anthony M. Bucco and Dave Rible that will allow public and non-public schools and county colleges to hire retired law enforcement officers to provide secur it y on school g rou nds received approval from both the Assembly Education Committee and the General Assembly. “Protecting our children and young adults is paramount today in light of

the many incidents that have occurred around the country. This bill serves two purposes,” said Bucc o ( R- Mo r 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 with-
out the need for pension and health benefit contributions. It’s a perfect fit.” Boa rd s of E ducat 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 occurred 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 h a n c e d s e c u r it y m e a su res, allow i ng school officials to hire trained, experienced retired off ice r s prov ide a not he r avenue of protection.” The Bucco-Rible bill (A3629) establishes an additional category of special law enforcement officers,
specifically, 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, fulltime police officers while providing school security. There are currently two categories of law enforce-

State To Offer Grants To Employers Who Install Electric-Car Charging Stations NEW JERSEY – Department of Environ mental Protection Commissioner Bob Mar tin and Board of Public Utilities (BPU) President Richard S. Mroz announced a new grant program that can help employers offset the installation cost for electric vehicle charging stations across the state, and a new website portal to educate the public about electric vehicles. The goal is this new grant program is to improve New Jersey’s air quality. The DEP and BPU have teamed together to launch t he g r a nt p rog r a m “ It Pays To Plug In.” The first phase of the program offers $725,000 in reimbursement g rants to employers to offset some of the costs to purchase and install the stations, while also encouraging employees to ultimately purchase and drive electric vehicles to work. In turn, the use of more electric vehicles on New Jersey’s roads will reduce the amount of tailpipe emissions that affect air quality. The new “Drive Green New Jersey” initiative and website provide information about the different types of electric vehicles available, how to charge
them, affordability and impact on air quality, as well as a variety of useful links for consumers. “Electric vehicles can play a critical role in helping to improve our air quality,” Commissioner Martin said. “This new grant program, in addition to the current incentives available in our state, can help improve the affordability of this innovative and proven technology that benefits all New Jersey residents.” Reimbursement grants a re of fered on a f i rstcome, first-serve basis of up to $250 for each Level 1 charging station installed, and up to $5,000 for each Level 2 charging station installed. Level 2 stations p r ov id e mor e m i le a ge range for electric vehicles than Level 1 stations. Eligible employers include public, private, for-profit, nonprofit, educational and governmental entities. Owners of parking facilities used by commuters or employees of other companies are also eligible. “The announced joint effort to incentivize workpl a c e ele c t r ic ve h icle charging stations is yet another step in the implementation of Governor Christie’s State Energy
Master Plan and recognizes its stated goal of encouraging greater use of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles by improving and expanding the infrastructure needed to support the use of alternative-fueled vehicles throughout New Jersey,” said BPU President Mroz. “We are also happy that those who are interested in learning more about alternative-fueled vehicles can access the ‘Drive Green New Jersey’ website as part of the state’s efforts to fulfill the Energy Master Plan’s call for increased education of consumers regarding energy conservation, renewable energy and technology advancements that they can implement to save on energy expenses, reduce energy costs for all ratepayers and contribute to a cleaner environment,” BPU President Mroz said. The DEP worked closely with the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs to streamline the permitting process so that homeowners can easily install charging stations. “If you can charge your electric vehicle at home and you can charge it at work, that goes a long way to relieving range anxiety,
which is a well-k now n barrier to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles,” said John Giordano, DEP’s Assistant Commissioner for Air Qualit y, Energy and Sustainability. “The state recognizes that a key to the success of any new technology is public buy-in, and to gain that, the public needs to be well-informed. Our new
‘Drive Green New Jersey’ initiative does just that, and presents the information in an easily relatable for mat that t argets the questions the public needs answers to about electric vehicles.” Emissions from vehicles are a primar y cause of ground-level ozone – also known as smog – during summer months.

With the help of NJ American Water, Howell Department of Public Works, Zig Panek of Green Touch Landscaping, Water Works, Atlantic Irrigation and the Howell Town Council, an onsite water source was recently installed at the gardens. The use of chemicals in the form of pesticides, fertilizers and growth hormones are not used. This garden only uses organic methods. All levels of gardeners are welcome. Plots are available in sizes of 4 by 4 and 4 by10 feet for an annual membership fee of $50 and
$40 respectively during the first year. The price decreases to $35 and $30 respectively for future years. All members must help with the upkeep of the common areas and the pathways. A monthly meeting occurs on the first Wednesday of every month at the Howell Library. Specific areas are set aside for Plant a Row, which is intended for growing produce specifically for charitable donations. The goal of the garden is to have community outreach to youth groups to educate them on the benefits of gardening organically. If interested in more information, call Dana Vargo at 732-740-9927 or contact the organization at facebook.com/HowellCommunityGardens.

CentraState Makes “Most Wired” List
FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP – “Hospitals and Health Networks,” the journal of the American Hospital Association, has once again recognized CentraState Medical Center as one of the nation’s “Most Wired” health care organizations for the seventh year in a row, according to the results of the magazine’s annual survey. The distinction recognizes healthcare organizations that have successfully adopted information technology (IT) in four critical areas: infrastructure; business and administrative management; clinical quality and safety and clinical integration. CentraState has invested nearly $50 million in health IT over the past 10 years as part of its ongoing commitment to enhance patient engagement and health data security. CentraState’s participation in the “Most Wired” process was a significant factor in being one of the first hospitals in the country to be recognized as a “Meaningful User of Technology by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services” (CMS) since 2013. “We are extremely proud of this recognition by the AHA,” said John Ulett, vice president and chief information officer, CentraState Healthcare System. ‘Most Wired’ status is a testament to our commitment of delivering better patient care with the use of well-designed and implemented computer software systems. Effective communication between caregivers and clinical decision support systems help to prevent complication, reduce errors, eliminate duplication and improve patient safety – all which creates a better patient experience overall.” Health IT initiatives implemented at CentraState include Cerner Soarian Clinicals, the hospital’s primary clinical inpatient documentation system. Soarian allows physicians and other clinicians to immediately access electronic health records, patient test results and other medical information in real time. Other initiatives include computerized physician order entry, electronic medical records, medication bar-coding and medication reconciliation. The Most Wired Survey and Benchmarking Study, conducted annually, is a joint project of the American Hospital Association, Hospital and Health Networks and the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) and is sponsored by VMware.

Gradations of color in the underpainting interact with similar changes in the top layer of marks, allowing the mind’s perceptual apparatus to create a sense of depth, movement, and luminosity. The title of this show “Morphogen-

Many of you are eating fermented foods and drinking kombucha under the advice of well-meaning practitioners, bloggers or magazine articles you’ve read. If you have any autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s, Graves’ disease), or have hypothyroidism, insomnia, gastrointestinal disorders, chronic pain, panic attacks, fatigue, depression, anxiety, chronic headaches, skin rashes or brain fog, your miserable symptoms could be coming from what’s on your plate. Fermented foods are, by definition, a food that is undergoing the process of turning into alcohol through the use of yeast, bacteria, fungus (mold) or enzymes that break down the food. It’s food that’s starting to rot a little, right? For example, it’s milk that’s starting to rot and turn into cheese. Tofu is fermented soy and sauerkraut is fermented cabbage. Grapes become alcohol.. Ferment a sausage and you’ll get salami. As you read this today, I want you to ask yourself: Do I react well or badly after eating cheese, cold cuts, yogurt or any fermented food, including tofu and leftovers? Do I react well after drinking wine, soy milk or kombucha? Did you know one of the top reasons for migraines is fermented foods? The logic in recommendations to restore friendly gut bacteria to your microbiome is important, it’s essential. I’m all for a healthy gut. I’ve been an advocate for probiotic supplementation for two decades, before it became vogue. But the tight junctions in your gut
aren’t really closing up after you eat tofu or drink vinegar (kombucha), and if it is happening, your zonulin levels should come down. Feel free to send me a study that proves that. Fermented foods may cause uncomfortable side effects for some of you like bloating, flatulence, belching, headaches, palpitations, itchiness and rashes. Fermented foods and drinks are very high in histamine. Eating high-histamine foods can cause histamine levels to skyrocket within minutes and it will accumulate to a sickening level if you cannot break it down fast enough and it accumulates. Throw out leftovers because they are high in histamine. The Internet is a black hole of bad information. So because fermented foods are high in histamine, I say to avoid them if you have an autoimmune disorder. Now, I’m not trying to take all your fun away. I know you love some of those foods. I’m not saying they are bad for all of you. But all of you who eat fermented foods or drink fermented drinks know who you are…you are still the ones who are miserable with plaguing symptoms, and if you trace it back in your mind, there may be a correlation to what you are eating and drinking. This is what I want you to think about and if you have the mind clarity, keep a food diary and see if you can track flare-ups to fermented foods. If you sign up for my free newsletter, I’ll send you an email with a longer version of this article, and a list of foods that are high in histamine.

Monmouth County Fair To Offer Family Fun
FREEHOLD – From opening night fireworks to pie-eating contests, the Monmouth County Fair offers old-fashioned county fair excitement with a modern flair. This annual event, held from July 27 to 31 at East Freehold Showgrounds, Kozloski Road, will be celebrating its 42nd year of providing family fun. Organized and presented by the Monmouth County Park System in cooperation with the Monmouth County 4-H, the fair maintains the agricultural nature of a traditional county fair with its ‘Home and Garden Competition’ and 4-H animal shows and exhibits, including High Flying Pages, Mutts Gone Nuts and Hilby the Skinny German Juggle Boy acts. Returning favorites include the Firefighter’s Competition, Robinson’s Racing Pigs and Bwana Jim’s Wildlife Show. At the heart of the fair is the Home and Garden tent, which will house local baked goods, vegetables, flowers and arts and craft pieces as residents compete for the honor of calling theirs the best. Inside the tent, fairgoers will also encounter ongoing beekeeping, gardening and pottery demonstrations. The Future Farmers of America (FFA) of Monmouth County will run a farm stand. Fairgoers can purchase Jersey Fresh fruits, vegetables and cut flowers. Proceeds will be used for FFA student activities. “The Monmouth County Fair is a wonderful mid-summer tradition that showcases our deep roots in agriculture and continues the traditions of the past,” said Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Park System and 4-H Association. “Families bake, grow and create blue ribbon entries and memories that will last a lifetime. Generations of families and visitors to the Jersey Shore
can stay connected to a simpler time by attending this late July event.” Those looking to learn more about the county’s agricultural heritage should stop by the Living History tent and meet with staff from the park system’s Historic Walnford in Upper Freehold and Historic Longstreet Farm in Holmdel. Each year, the Living History tent highlights an aspect of life as it was in Monmouth County years ago. This year’s tent focuses on leisure and recreation activities that were popular during the Victorian era. Fairgoers will have the chance to hear music from the 1890s and play old-fashioned lawn games and board games. Activities include croquet, baseball and horseshoes. The entertainment line-up at the fair includes: The Amish Outlaws on Wednesday, Dr. Cheeko on Thursday, Rockit! Count Basie Live on Friday, Jet Weston and His Atomic Ranch Hands on Saturday and The Chuck Lambert Band on Sunday. The fair rides are provided by Reithoffer Shows and will feature a separate Kids Zone Ride Area for younger children. Ride wristbands will be available on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday for $25 per person. These wristbands allow fairgoers to enjoy unlimited rides during their session. Tickets for the rides will be available daily. Rides are weather permitting. Fair hours are 5 to 11 p.m. on July 27 to 29; 3 to 11 p.m. on July 30 and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on July 31. Admission is $8 per person; children 12 and under are free. Upcoming fair contests will be announced on its Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages, offering an opportunity to win admission tickets and more.

Inside The Law We Can Assist You With Your Land Use Application After You Have Received Approval
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Dina M. Vicari, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Previous articles reviewed the land use application submission and presentation process; this article will review what is required to be performed after an approval is obtained. The memorialized approval is placed in written form called a Resolution. Part of the Resolution outlines the Condition of Approval, which acts as a checklist of the items that must be submitted to zoning and engineering prior to obtaining construction permits. Satisfying those conditions is called Resolution Compliance. Once an applicant receives the Resolution of Approval, the first requirement is to prepare and publish a Notice of Decision. This provides a general notice in the official newspaper as to the details of the approval received. Proof of this publication must be provided to the board secretary. Contained within the Resolution may also be requirements for various legal documents. Examples of these documents are: Lot Consolidation Deeds, which consolidate various lots owned by the applicant under one lot number; Cross-Access Agreements, which will allow neighboring businesses or residents to utilize a common driveway or parking area; and Easements, which earmark certain portions of the property for access by other agencies to maintain or service utility structures or equipment which may be on the property, or may identify portions of the property that are to be undeveloped to preserve the environment or ensure visibility at an intersection. Of course, this is not a comprehensive list, and what is required depends on the specific reliefs granted in the applicant’s approval. What is consistent throughout the process
is that these are legal documents requiring Dina M. Vicari Esq. the attachment of legal descriptions and reduced plans, requiring review and approval of the Board professionals and, in some cases, the documents must be recorded with the County Clerk. Certainly, the preparation of these documents is best performed by a qualified land use attorney. Additionally, the Resolution may require plan revisions, payment of additional fees and escrows and approvals from outside agencies. Those agencies may be other local agencies, such as local sewerage, utility and municipal authorities; County agencies, such as Planning Board and Soil Conservation; and/or state agencies, such as NJDOT and NJDEP. Again, each applicant requires a combination of varying approvals. This office can coordinate the receipt of those approvals and prepare a final submission to the local land use board to successfully complete Resolution Compliance. Receiving Resolution Compliance approval will then allow the applicant to construct their proposed project. As can be seen from the information above, the perfection of a land use application approval before a Land Use Board requires an understanding of the MLUL and legal experience. The attorneys at the Law Office of R.C. Shea and Associates can assist to make this process stress free. Look for future articles on the Land Use Process which will review the components of a resolution and the post-approval compliance procedures.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Taking Action Against Obesity Dear Joel I am seriously overweight. As a 43 year-old woman, I can’t believe what I have done to myself. When I was younger I had a beautiful body and now look like an inflated balloon. My husband doesn’t seem to mind but I walk around feeling embarrassed with the way I look. I no longer look good in anything; new clothes that I buy do nothing to change my situation. What can I do? Answer: When we are in situations such as yours, we have a tendency to feel sor r y for ourselves rather than do anything about it. You have choices to make. You can either go on feeling badly about yourself or take control of your situation. I must remind you that when I write this column I am simply a friend to my readers. I am neither a doctor or have formal training in mental health. That being said it is important to me that you see a physician about your condition. You may be at risk for heart disease and diabetes. Both are at epidemic proportions in our country. As you may know, most diets fail. I do, however, have faith in two organizations for people such as yourself and
so many others who suf fer wit h you. Weight Watchers (of which I am a member) does a fantastic job of helping people who have weight challenges. Another organization is Overeaters Anonymous.

Caregivers Of New Jersey To Present Caregiver Youth Award NEW JERSEY – Caregivers of New Jersey is launching the Caregiver Youth Award in the amount of $1,000, which will be presented to one eligible applicant between the ages of 8 and 18. According to the National Alliance for Caregiving, there are at least 1.3 million youth caregivers between the ages of 8 and 18 in the United States. It is important to remember that youth caregivers are children who reverse roles with their family members who become ill or disabled to provide care for them. Being a youth caregiver isn’t an easy task and requires personal sacrifices in the form of education, personal time and well-being.
With this award, Caregivers of New Jersey would like to recognize the hard work of youth caregivers in the state of New Jersey. To download the application, go to njcaregivers.org. All applicants must fill out the application and write an essay explaining their role as a caregiver. The application deadline is September 1. When all parts of the application have been completed, applicants must send documents to: Attn: Award Application, Caregivers of New Jersey Foundation, 35 Beaverson Blvd., Building 11, Brick, NJ 08723. For questions, call Mikaela Saunders at 732-262-8020 ext. 233.

Historical Association Now Renting Out Taylor-Butler House
MONMOUTH COUNTY – Monmouth County Historical Association is now offering historic Taylor-Butler House, one of the five historic house museums owned by the association, for wedding receptions and private parties. “We have had several beautiful weddings, parties and gatherings at this historic home in Middletown,” Association Director Evelyn C. Murphy said. “We also recently renovated the outdoor patio area and have completed interior re-painting and other improvements, making the home even more special and unique for
private gatherings.” The grand home has a full front porch, a Dutch door leading to the central foyer and several high ceilinged rooms with large windows on the first floor. There are several rooms for smaller gatherings along with a bridal changing room on the second floor, as well as another central foyer, along with bathrooms on both main floors. The front porch opens to a sweeping yard with large hollies and shade trees and a rear door leads to a recently renovated patio making for two wonderful settings for outdoor entertaining. There
is also a speaker system which allows for sound throughout the residence. Taylor-Butler House is a restored Victorian mansion located on five wooded acres in the heart of the Middletown Village Historic District. It was built in 1853 by Joseph Dorset Taylor and his bride, Mary Holmes Taylor. It reflected the wealth and status the Taylors enjoyed from his business in New York’s China trade. The house stayed in the family for more than 100 years. In the 1940s, architect Henry Ludwig Kramer restored the mansion, making it one of the finest examples of the
Victorian Italianate style or architecture. Monmouth County Historical Association acquired the property from the estate of George W. Butler in the 1950s and continues to maintain it as a historic house museum. Those interested in touring the space for an upcoming event or to make a reservation can contact Christine Ciccosanti at the association by calling 732-4621466 ext.19 or e-mailing cciccosanti@ monmouthhistory.org. Further information is also available by visiting the association’s website at monmouthhistory.org.

Professional Profile Preferred Home Healthcare & Nursing Services
By Robert D. Verderese The first thing you will notice upon meeting Joel Markel, President and owner of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services, a home health care agency, is his friendly and soothing demeanor. The cadence of his voice reveals a compassion that is as genuine as it is heart-felt. In a business which concerns itself with traumatic family situations, Joel’s caring bedside manner seems all-the-more important. Indeed, the company motto, “Home Health Care with Feeling,” is not just a catchy sales pitch but rather the core of the business ethos—born out of a series of family tragedies which ultimately manifested in Joel a profound and compelling empathy. Joel’s misfortunes commenced when he was about 35 years old with the news that his widowed sister Helen had been diagnosed with terminal skin cancer. Consequently, Markel and his wife Stephanie took Helen and her two young sons into their home. “We could not find a home health care agency that provided the full-time care my sister required’’, Markel recollected. “On top of that, my sister lamented over never seeing the same person twice. This did not comfort her.” A short time after this cancer reared its ugly head again when their son Ryan was born with pediatric cancer. “Nurses who were pediatric specialists and willing to care for Ryan at home were extremely hard to come by,” Markel recalls. “And all of the nurses were reluctant to treat Ryan by virtue of how sick he was.” During this trying time, Markel learned a lot about home health care agencies. He learned that most were very limited in terms of the care that was provided. Most only provided services for geriatric care; with very few providing care for children and fewer still for both the old and the young. He also discovered that there were almost no nurses who were qualified to care for patients who were severely sick. “The care that was available at this time was not adequate for us,” Markel recounts. “My wife and I realized that virtually all health care agencies were deficient both from a professional and emotional standpoint.” Tragically, Joel Markel’s sister Helen died shortly after his son Ryan was born and Ryan—who had acute complications from birth—passed at 11 months of age. As a result of these tribulations, Markel’s heart— although filled with grief— began to orient itself in a more empathetic sphere. “I longed to talk with parents
who lost children. I wanted to help them with their pain and in turn for them to help me. I wanted to comfort them and for them to comfort me—I needed some kind of support!” Markel reminisced with unbridled passion. Teeming with empathy, Markel resolved to start a support group for fathers who lost children. This under-
explains. To be sure, at Preferred, caregivers provide an important social connection for their patients as well as an outlet to social activities—with transportation to adult day care or simply having company or professional assistance for a walk in the neighborhood. Preferred Home Health Care’s success Markel attributes almost exclusively to its tenet: “Home Health Care with Feeling.” He believes it’s that emphasis on compassion for others which has sustained the agency for more than 25 years. “We care for people and are committed to helping as many people in need of quality home health care as possible” says Markel. Preferred services include care for infants, babies, adults and seniors, tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs. The agency provides around-the-clock or hourly service, with either medical or non-medical assistance available. Whether it is 24 hour service from a registered nurse or 3 hour a day care from a home health aide, the company’s underlying mission remains singular—to treat each patient like family in the comfort of their home, (rather than living in a hospital) promoting independence and dignity for an optimal quality of life. “Every caregiver at Preferred must have a bona fide passion for the work they do,” Markel expresses. “It’s not just a preference,
“We care for people and are committed to helping as many people in need of quality home health care as possible” – Joel Markel taking, however, quickly revealed itself to be one of futility insofar as fathers had no desire communicating their losses to one another. This harrowing time in Markel’s life he aptly described as his ‘Book of Job’ time. Nevertheless, it was this dark period which shed light on the significance of quality home health care in people’s lives. “I started really contemplating the possibility of running a home health care agency,” Markel reflected. This contemplation became a reality when—after reading in The New York Times that a home health care agency in central New Jersey was for sale—Markel shortly after bought the company with the intent of dedicating all his efforts to providing comprehensive home health care ‘with feeling’ to people in the greatest need. Servicing New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Markel’s vision of providing superior home health care with an emotional touch has been fully actualized by Preferred: “We foster a culture of emotional connectivity here. It is essential for our caregivers to assume a familial role for the people they take care of,” Markel
it’s a prerequisite,” he continues. Although hiring caregivers who are passionate is paramount at Preferred, other more tangible qualifications are important as well. For instance, all of the caregivers that work for the agency are fully licensed, bonded and insured, and are subject to a thorough screening and vetting process. Indeed, it is this fusion of ‘passion’ and ‘quality’ which really distinguishes Preferred from its competitors and serves as the principal impetus for the company’s long-standing success. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses also figure prominently within Preferred Home Health Care’s family of professionals. For more than 20 years, these highly skilled caregivers provide stateof-the-art services and technology to their patients. In addition, the clinical professionals at Preferred teach patients and their families how to manage their illnesses or injuries and explain post-treatment home care needs, such as: diet, nutrition, exercise programs and self-administration of medication. The RNs
and LPNs at Preferred are also instrumental in establishing a care plan or contribute to an existing plan developed by the patient’s doctor. When Joel Markel bought Preferred, over 20 years ago, he could never have envisioned the company’s current status as a multi-faceted, premiere health care agency. By surrounding himself with good, smart, highly qualified people who shared his ‘philosophy of care,’ Markel set out to create a health care agency that went far beyond its traditional confines. For instance, more than half of the agency’s patients are children who have serious medical conditions. These children are cared for by RNs with specialized pediatric expertise which is second-to-none, who provide the most advanced, integrated and extensive services available. Preferred also provides individual care for children while at school, assisting with bus transportation, fieldtrips and providing a clinical eye that is as vigilant as it is consequential. To say that Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services was born out of tragedy is as true as the changing seasons. The idea to start the business began with Markel’s difficulty of not being able to find quality home health care for both his terminally sick sister and seriously ill son, and tragically culminating with their respective deaths. But it was this dark experience which made Markel aware of the importance of comprehensive home health care and which ultimately motivated him to create Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services—home health care ‘with feeling.’ You can reach Preferred anytime via preferredcares.com or by calling 800-603-CARE (2273).

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Master The Secrets Behind An Award-Worthy Asian Seafood Dish By Wolfgang Puck
Exactly 22 years ago, I was invited to create the food for the premiere party of a blockbuster summer film unlike anything the movie-going public had ever seen. No, it didn’t feature spaceships flying through the galaxy or dinosaurs run amok. It was just the story of a simple man who lived an extraordinary life - a life he summed up by comparing it to a box of chocolates. Yes, that movie was “Forrest Gump.” And the extraordinary lead performance by Tom Hanks went on to win him his second Oscar, after taking one home the year before for “Philadelphia.” For that event, the studio asked me to make a special seafood dish with Southeast Asian influences. I’m not sure what led them to such a request, though I do know that the first Thai restaurants had begun opening in Los Angeles only two decades before, and they were still considered something new and hip. Whatever the reason, I decided to come up with a Thai-style preparation for mussels, a dish full of exciting flavors that my chefs and I could prepare quickly and easily so we could send out fresh batch after batch to the large gathering. Considering how exotic Thai seasonings seem to most people, even today, though the cuisine is certainly almost as familiar now as Chinese, you might have stopped and wondered when I described that dish as being quick and easy. It really is. The real barrier people have to preparing Thai Curried Mussels, the recipe I made for the premiere and share here, is not that it requires any special equipment or techniques; it’s simply that the ingredients aren’t commonly found in the pantries of most home kitchens in America. That doesn’t have to be the case anymore. In almost any good-sized city, and many small towns as well, you can now find ethnic Southeast Asian markets. Many well-stocked supermarkets everywhere also carry a surprising number of ingredients from the Thai kitchen, including those I call for in this recipe, including bright, zesty-tasting kaffir lime leaves and fresh lemongrass, spicy Thai chiles and Thai curry powder. And you can also find and purchase them online. Add fresh mussels that you buy the same day you’ll cook them, and keep them fresh and cold in your refrigerator. Scrub thoroughly under cold running water, pull off the “beards” at their hinges, and you’re ready to have this dish ready to serve (as an appetizer for four people or a main dish for two) in well under half an hour of cooking time. And who knows? Your new dish may win you a special award from your family and friends!
THAI CURRIED MUSSELS Serves 2 to 4 8 scallions, root ends trimmed, 4 left whole, 4 finely chopped 1/4 cup (60 mL) peanut oil, plus extra for serving 1 large kaffir lime leaf, crushed, or 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest 1-inch (2.5-m) piece fresh ginger, preferably young, finely chopped, about 1 1/2 tablespoons 1 stalk fresh lemongrass, bottom 4 inches (10 cm) smashed and split lengthwise 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped 3 fresh Thai green chiles, or other small hot fresh green or red chiles 1 heaping teaspoon Thai red cur r y powder 1 heaping teaspoon ground turmeric 1/3 cup (85 mL) unseasoned rice vinegar 1/2 cup (125 mL) good-quality canned tomato sauce 2 pounds (1 kg) large, fresh mussels, such as green-lipped variety (about 16 large mussels), thoroughly scrubbed and debearded 1/2 cup (125 mL) water, plus more as needed 2 to 3 teaspoons granulated sugar About 2 1/4 cups (560 mL) steamed rice 4 small sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish Fill a large bowl with water and ice. Cut off the tops of 4 of the scallions to get pieces about 5 inches long. Cut through the green tops lengthwise 2 or 3 times to form strips attached to the base. Place in the ice water and refrigerate. Heat the oil in a large wide pan over high heat. Add the chopped scallion, kaffir lime leaf (or lime zest), ginger, lemongrass, garlic and chiles. Saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the curry powder and turmeric; stir to combine. Immediately stir in the vinegar to deglaze the pan. Add the tomato sauce, and stir well to combine it with the other ingredients. Add the mussels and stir well to combine them with the sauce. Stir in the water to bring the sauce to a consistency that coats the mussels evenly. Sprinkle in the sugar, cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cook 8 to 10 minutes until all the mussels have opened, adding more water as necessary to keep them steaming. Discard any unopened mussels. Pull open the shells a bit more and arrange the cooked mussels on a platter or in a large, shallow bowl. Spoon some sauce over them. Garnish with the drained scallion brushes. Drizzle with peanut oil. Serve with steamed rice, top with the remaining sauce and garnish with cilantro.
