Parks To See ADA Upgrades: New Paths, Ramps Come To Howell
Among the parks slated for upgrades are Glen Park, right. HOWELL – Thanks to the funding from a Community Development Block Grant the Mayor and Council announced recently that funding will be used to upgrade several local park and recreation facilities to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. “We are making improvements and increasing access to our outdoor recreation facilities, hoping to raise awareness and

improve the appreciation of our natural resources for our residents,” said Mayor Bill Gotto. The grant will help with improvements to Deerwood Park, Soldier Memorial Park, the Howell Central Little League Park, the township’s Pop Warner field, Oak Glen Park, Hoffman Field, and the North Howell Little League Park. Work will include new
paths with ADA compliant striping and signage, paving, and wheelchair ramps. Deputy Mayor Rob Nicastro said the projects will help make the parks more (Parks - See Page 5)
State Won’t Investigate Jackson Blockbusting Report
By Jennifer Peacock NEW JERSEY – The State has said it won’t investigate alleged blockbusting in Jackson due to technical issues, Council President Robert Nixon updated a packed house at the August 9 Jackson Township Council meeting. “For the time being, the State has deferred an investigation on technical grounds based on their interpretation of the State discrimination law. Our lawyers have been in
touch with the federal authorities and their discussions will be continuing,” Nixon said. The State’s Office of the Attorney General outlines the intent of the antidiscrimination law: “makes it unlawful to subject people to differential treatment based on race, creed, color, national origin, nationality, ancestry, age, sex (including pregnancy), familial status, marital status, domestic partnership or civil union status, affectional or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression,
atypical hereditary cellular or blood trait, genetic information, liability for military service, and mental or physical disability, perceived disability, and AIDS and HIV status. The LAD prohibits unlawful discrimination in employment, housing, places of public accommodation, credit and business contracts. Not all of the foregoing prohibited bases for discrimination are protected in all of these areas of activity. For (State - See Page 5)

PUBLIC HEARING ON FREEWOOD ACRES SEWER PROJECT
By Charles Daye and Catherine Galioto HOWELL – A $13.95 million project to install sewers in Freewood Acres and along Route 9 will have its public hearing September 12, as part of approvals with the state Department of Environmental Protection. The Township will host the Public Hearing on September 12 at 5 p.m. to hear public comments on the Freewood Acres and Route 9 North Sanitary Sewer Extension Project. Township officials have said previously that this project will address ongoing issues that involve failing septic systems and sewer problems in those areas, but the project will provide a new sanitary sewer system for most of Freewood Acres, portions of Route 9 and some Township properties associated with the Land O’Pines School. The estimated cost of the proposed project is $13,955,084.94 and the Township is seeking loan funds through the New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust. The public hearing is required by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, who has reviewed the proposed project and concluded that a Level 2 Environmental Review is necessary in order to qualify for any financial assistance from the NJEIT. Regarding an estimated projection for the entire project to be done, Herrman said the township estimates18 to 24 months for design and permitting and another 12-18 months for construction, which would mean completion in 2018 or 2019. However, he emphasized that the timeframes are “rough projections” subject to change. The project includes all portions of Freewood Acres on the east and west (Sewer - See Page 4)

side of Route 9. As for residential, the project map shows the east side will include Wilentz Avenue, the portion of Windeler Road between Georgia Tavern Road and the Board of Education property, Georgia Tavern Road from just east of Helen Avenue to Route 9 and all interior portions of the Acres. The west side will include Hulses Corner Road from Route 9 to Smith Street and all interior portions of the Acres. As for commercial, this project has conceptually included all commercial and residential properties on Route 9 north and south between Georgia Tavern Road/Hulses Corner Road and White Street. Gravity sewer already exists on Route 9 north between White Street and the White Castle. A combination of gravity sewer and a force main exist on Route 9 south between Ideal Plaza and White Street. Gravity sewer is proposed on Route 9 north from Suburban Propane to Casino Drive. The remaining portions of Route 9 are within the New Jersey American Water company franchise area and are not part of this project. The section of Route 9 that is not connected to sewer within the New Jersey American Water sewer service area includes Route 9
southbound between the Freehold Township border and Strickland Road along with the area between Bergerville Road and West Farms Road (with the exception of Home Depot), township officials said previously. The project was approved by township council last year and initial survey work done that spring to summer. Maser Consulting, P.A. of Red Bank, is being paid $731,500 for “design and permitting services.” Though at the time the plans were conceptual, James R. Herrman, Howell Township Director of Community Development, said as the council discussed the proposal that completion could be late 2018 to 2019 for sewers. Freewood Acres West portion would include 12,569 linear feet of 8-inch pipe installed; Freewood Acres East, 14,233 linear feet of 8-inch and 1,085 linear feet of 10-inch pipe installed; Georgia Tavern Road and streets south would have 4,915 linear feet of 8-inch and 2,287 linear feet of 12-inch pipe. In addition, a force main and its linear pipe will be installed on Route 9 North and the easement near Casino Drive. The complete plans can be viewed at town hall, and though comments can be received in person as part of the public hearing, they can also be submitted to the township clerk at the clerks office, 4567 Route 9 North, PO Box 580, Howell, NJ 07731.

example, familial status is only protected with respect to housing…” “They made the determination that the subject area is not one within the current view their jurisdiction,” municipal attorney Jean Cipriani said. The township filed complaints with the U.S. Department of Justice and the state Division of Civil Rights after viewing online videos from a November 2015 Agudah Convention at Crowne Plaza in Stamford, Conn. Three rabbi speakers presented talks titled “Growing Pains: Responding to challenges of the explosive expansion of our communities.” Two presenters spoke mostly in English mixed with Yiddish but a third was asked to give his talk about the “Jersey City Initiative” in Yiddish. “Our presentation to them is not based on whether we properly translated a few words

The Howell Times, August 20, 2016, Page 5 from a speech,” Nixon said. “There are a lot more facts to share and if you have specific details of harassment or discrimination I urge you to please put it in writing to us ASAP.” In the November talks, one rabbi, Shmuel Lefkowitz, said Chareidi families should be a “little bit of shtickle pioneer in order to go into areas that…to keep expanding the envelope within Brooklyn, within Lakewood, and the other areas.” He told the Jewish newspaper Hamodia that his comments were misrepresented, saying a shtickle pioneer is one who is a “small pioneer and is adverse to risk.” Young families priced out of Lakewood have been urged to settle in surrounding townships: Toms River, Brick, Jackson, and Howell. Both Lefkowitz and Rabbi Avi Schnall, Agudah’s New Jersey director, told Hamodia that there is no blockbusting happening. “The Department of Justice has not rejected
our complaint in the way the State has. That Department of course has different laws and has traditionally been one of the departments that investigates allegations of blockbusting,” Cipriani said. According to FairHousingRights.org, blockbusting, also known as “panic selling,” is “a discriminatory practice characterized by using tactics to induce a person to sell their home by persuading them that the entry of persons of a particular race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin or disability into their neighborhoods will negatively affect the community and decrease the value of their homes.” Blockbusting is illegal under Title 24, Housing and Urban Development. “It shall be unlawful, for profit, to induce or attempt to induce a person to sell or rent a dwelling by representations regarding the entry or prospective entry into the neighborhood of a person or persons of a particular race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin
or with a handicap.” The law clarifies that a profit doesn’t have to be made, only intended. The code also prohibits: “Encouraging, for profit, any person to sell or rent a dwelling through assertions that the entry or prospective entry of persons of a particular race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin, or with handicaps, can or will result in undesirable consequences for the project, neighborhood or community, such as a lowering of property values, an increase in criminal or antisocial behavior, or a decline in the quality of schools or other services or facilities.” The practice also violates the Fair Housing Act. The Department of Justice often does file lawsuits based on referrals it receives from HUD. Nixon told residents that because the federal investigation is ongoing, he and Jackson Township Council can offer only general comments about alleged blockbusting and investigation.

Featured Letter Respect Those In Uniform, And Each Other Have you had enough murders in this country? I take that to be a Yes! We’re all sick and tired of bad behavior wherever it may be found, people hating each other and now killing each other for no good reason at all except they want to. What is that anyway? Two men who were black were murdered by policemen in two different states. The reason is yet to be explained or understood by the public. Then, we had the massacre in Dallas committed by a black man who apparently hated white people especially those in a uniform. When I was being raised by my parents, I was taught
to respect my neighbors and especially those in uniform. Whatever happened to that kind of respect – one for another? Are we all doomed because we’ve done this to ourselves, and more importantly can we recover from our own doing? With an upcoming election, do we really believe that either candidate can solve this internal problem when, in fact, they themselves, may be a part of the problem. May God help us. And God please, though we don’t deserve it, please bless America. Bette Kooreman Whiting

Letters To The Editor Don’t Vote For Trump I have refrained from posting my contempt for Donald Trump, because who cares what I think anyway. However, for my own satisfaction I am going to express my disgust with his disrespect of Gold Star Parents Mr. and Mrs. Khan whose son, Captain Kahn, died in Iraq protecting our country in 2004. This is personal for me because as Mayor of Toms River in 2004 through 2007, on many occasions, I was called to our National Guard Armory and other events to send off our troops to war, many of whom I knew personally, e.g. my son’s football coach. I’ve seen firsthand the families saying goodbye to their Mom or Dad, not know if they were coming back. As mayor, the best I could do was be there for them on behalf of our community and show support, prayers and encouragement. I am offended by Trump’s latest callous disregard for our military, but to disparage the parents of a fallen soldier is over the line. While I was mayor, on two occasions I accompanied our Chief of Police to the home of a fallen Toms River Marine. I felt helpless, but they were so grateful that we cared. It was the least we could do. Our town has planted trees and dedicated memorials to these fallen soldiers, but it doesn’t bring them back. I can’t imagine the pain these families suffer every single day of their lives. Trump insinuated that Mrs. Khan didn’t speak because she probably wasn’t allowed to. What was he thinking when he made such a state-
ment? The problem is he can’t take a punch; he must fight back regardless of what was said. This is his worst character flaw – of many – and I can tell you from experience that if you are going into public office, you have to be able to take a punch and move on. His disrespect of Mr. and Mrs. Kahn is unforgivable and this one time that I will ask you to please do not cast a vote for him in November. Paul C. Brush Toms River
As for me, as to the existence of a “soul” I think a 19th century humanist put it best: “I neither assert nor deny. I simply admit I don’t know. On that subject I am without evidence. There may be spirits, but I have never met one, nor do I know anybody who has.” Borden Applegate Jackson
While attending a funeral recently, the reverend talked about the immortality of the soul, which got me thinking. What do we really know – not just think or believe or imagine, but actually know about a soul? I haven’t the slightest idea how a soul looks, what shape it is, whether it walks or flies. Where does it reside in the body? How tall is it? Does it eat or sleep, wear socks – does it have a pulse? Is the soul implanted or activated at conception or does it enter the body at birth? If the dead person used a cane, wore glasses or dentures, will his soul? The clergy tell us the soul cannot be seen, heard, touched, smelled or tasted. Nor does it have magnetic, electrical, gravitation, or any other measurable properties. I think it would trouble anybody to find a better definition of nothing! That describes a vacuum – that is to say, it describes the absence of everything. The fact that I cannot conceive of a thing does not necessarily prove that a thing does not exist; however, I cannot prove unicorns don’t exist either.
Consider the things that make New Jersey a magnet for businesses and employers: A highly educated workforce, easy access to the financial and technology centers in New York, an outstanding education system and desirable lifestyle - and outstanding transportation infrastructure. We have the largest statewide transit system in the country, able to connect people to jobs both in New Jersey and beyond. Our road network has made the business of moving freight a major contributor to our economic growth, and allows goods shipped to our ports to reach almost half the U.S. population within a day. Yes, economic development incentives and tax breaks are appealing to employers, and those incentives have become a part of any state’s economic-development strategy. But incentives most often make the difference when the playing field is otherwise level, and when all the necessary durable assets, including transportation infrastructure, are in place. And right now in New Jersey, investments in our transportation infrastructure are at real risk. All the incentives and tax breaks in the world cannot overcome the inability of a business to rely on a durable asset that is key to its success. Transportation infrastructure lasts a long time, and is an important economic signal. When the state makes a commitment to invest in its transportation network, it is in effect promising businesses and residents that the system will be there into the future to serve them. This commitment spurs additional investment raise a bridge so the nearby port can welcome larger

ships, and new warehouses spring up. Build a light-rail line and businesses build or expand locations near it. (In fact, these additional investments sometimes get made before the transportation projects themselves are finalized.) Make transit access and travel easier, and nearby property values go up. But right now New Jersey appears unwilling to keep its promise of sustained investment in its transportation network. Our failure to break the current impasse over funding the Transportation Trust Fund - a financial repository established expressly to ensure that our transportation infrastructure can be kept up to date - is beginning to send a clear signal to the business community that it will no longer be able to rely on a key piece of New Jersey’s economic infrastructure. Businesses that may be evaluating their relocation or expansion options right now must be looking askance at New Jersey. When employers make long-term expansion or relocation decisions, they give significant weight to the extent and condition of the nearby transportation network. Our inability to promise that they’ll be able to rely on our roads and rails is putting New Jersey’s continued economic growth at real risk. The suspension of many important road and transit projects will have immediate economic effects. But at a more strategic level, the impasse over funding the Transportation Trust Fund presents a very real threat to New Jersey’s long-term economic-growth. Every business that decides to look elsewhere because it can’t rely on New Jersey’s transportation network represents lost opportunity. And perhaps even more important, every day this impasse continues serves to erode the trust the business community has in the state as a desirable place to locate or do business. If Governor Christie is as business-friendly as he says he is, he will take immediate steps to end this stalemate. The negative effects of not doing so will hurt us for years into the future.

I hope you are taking in all that we offer in this beautiful county – from the boardwalk full of rides in Keansburg to the acres of vineyards in Cream Ridge.

MONMOUTH COUNTY – In 2010, Governor Chris Christie signed into law the Fort Monmouth Revitalization Authority Act therefore, evolving into the Fort Monmouth Revitalization Authority, FMERA. As stated in their annual report, FMERA is to “provide investment continuity and economic growth to the communities impacted by the federal government’s decision to close Fort Monmouth”. The original plan addressed the 1126 acres in Eatontown, Oceanport, and Tinton Falls. The Monmouth County Improvement Authority will be sanctioned by the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders to bond $33 million for the Phase II redevelopment effort at Fort Monmouth. This bonding will provide for a direct purchase (transfer) of the remaining 560 acres in the Borough of Oceanport and the Borough of Eatontown, from the Department of the Army to a state created entity, the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority, FMERA. The State is abandoning any financial support of

Beginning this fall, 15 Asbury Park High School freshmen will supplement their traditional coursework with college-level courses taught by Brookdale faculty in Asbury Park. In their junior year, Dream Academy students will begin taking courses at Brookdale’s Higher Education Center in Wall, before becoming full-time Brookdale students and completing their senior year on the college’s

FMERA, leaving the authority void of operating capital; inclusive of the salaries of the ten FMERA employees. Monmouth County is stepping in to ensure the real estate transfer by backing bonding through the highly touted County Triple AAA Bond Rating, placing any potential default on the shoulders of the taxpayers of all 53 municipalities. Should a default take place, this would put the taxpayers in the precarious position of co-signers, land-holders, and bankers. The Government should never put the taxpayers in harm’s way. This proposal has been labeled as “unprecedented” by the members of the Mon mouth Count y Improvement authority because never before has the County backed a bonding proposal that is not secured by tax dollars as the source of funding. Municipalities and School Boards back their bonding obligations through taxation. FMERA has no taxing authority, but is totally dependent on the sale of the 560 acres to raise revenue to meet their operating expenses and bond repayments. The financial structure of
the deal should be revised to include the participating municipalities ensuring equity of financial obligation, and the ultimate say in the decision making process. The stake holders (municipalities) should have the ultimate say in the land use of their communities as designed in their respective master plan. New Jersey is a home rule state, but the existing FMER A str ucture does not reflect such. FMERA is presently governed by a thirteen member board. The board includes nine voting members consisting of three public members appointed by the Governor, one ex-officio member of the Executive Branch appointed by the Governor, the mayors of Eatontown, Tinton Falls and Oceanport, one member of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, and the Chair of the Economic Development Authority. The Commissioners of the New Jersey Departments of Labor and Workforce Development, Environmental Protection, Community Affairs and Transportation serves as ex-officio, non-voting members of the
board. This board is not structured as a home rule panel, but is dominated by Trenton-gubernatorial appointments- who will no longer provide financial support. It is time to transfer voting power to the County of Monmouth. With the County now backing the bonds, having only one vote on the FMERA Board, County interests have been more difficult to achieve. The proposed County Route 537 extension will be a key component of circulation with the Fort Monmouth Main Post re-use. It will be a collective roadway which
all local roads within the area will connect. These roads include: State Highway 35 and 71, County Route 537, Route 13A, and County Route 11. It will provide an alternate route to all destinations. Environmental concerns have an enormous impact on the marketability of the remaining 560 acres. The Department of the Army has stated that it will stand behind any necessary remediation when FMERA takes possession. Once ownership is exchanged, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection takes precedence in all
than $85,000 to Monmouth County businesses. And as a final message, I would like to thank our residents and fishing community for trusting me and the process regarding the Shark River Dredging project. I was happy to announce recently, that after it was discovered that we were in jeopardy of losing federal funding and timing to the project was imminent, State officials agreed to let the dredging will begin again. This was great team effort between local, county and state working together. Thank you for your continued support!
environmental matters. The NJDEP holds landowners to a much higher standard than does the Department of the Army. With the state stepping aside from any financial com mit ment and Monmouth County assuming the mantle of financial responsibility, legislation is mandatory to assure the financial stakeholders, Monmouth County, have the ultimate say in the decision making process. The State of New Jersey has a role at the table; however, Monmouth County and the local municipalities should have the ultimate say.

To minimize long lines and to drastically reduce the wait time, preferred dates and times have been established for students to pick up the laptop based on school and position in the alphabet. If the preferred date/time is not convenient, students may come any time during the deployment, as long as it is during one of
the two dates that the deployment team will be at the child’s attending school location distributing the laptops. Evening distributions can be lengthy; therefore, it is suggested that students come during their assigned day time slot. Middle School South Students’ deployment day is August 24. Middle School North Students’ deployment day is August 25. Appointments are based on last name, alphabetically, for more information visit Howell.k12.nj.us. For questions regarding the laptop distribution, contact the Office of Digital Learning and Innovation at 732-751-2480 ext. 3807 or laptopdistribution@howell.k12.nj.us.

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The Drug That Causes Gambling By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
I was in Las Vegas recently and spent four nights there. I stayed at The Palazzo and checked out the hotels Paris, The Venetian, MGM Grand, Aria, Caesars Palace and probably two others that I walked by. With that many hotels, guess how much I spent on gambling? Five dollars. No kidding. It just doesn’t interest me. I look at big green trash cans and think, “Those were the original slot machines, before casinos figured out they could get more money out of us if they put fancy noises and lights on them.” All kidding aside, gambling is no joke, it’s a hobby for some and an illness for others. And interestingly, we know that some drugs can enhance that gambling state of mind. A few months ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned physicians about Abilify (aripiprazole) and how it could cause impulsive behavior. If you are one of my fans, you’ll know that I said this in 2006 when Abilify was released, and I also mentioned how it could cause rapid weight gain. Abilify is one of the world’s top prescribed drugs. It raked in $6.4 billion in 2013. It’s classified as an antipsychotic medication, but unfortunately physicians dispense it like it’s some kind of Tic Tac for every emotional and mental disorder a patient walks in with. The gambling problems have led to divorces. A quick Google search will reveal anxious lawyers who want to represent patients because they feel like the drug companies knew and kept it hush hush. One patient reportedly played the slots occasionally but never lost more than $50 and then he started Abilify. “After
I ploughed through my bank account, I obtained cash advances on my credit cards and soon maxed them out,” says the patient whose wife now wants a divorce. It’s not just gambling, people who take this drug may feel unnatural cravings to binge eat, have sex or go shopping. When people get these urges (and I mean in an unnatural, unhealthy way), it means that their dopamine level is off. It leads to fighting, infidelities, obesity, bankruptcy and divorce. Funny, I never noticed anything alarming in the TV commercials, everyone looked happy. In 2015, American doctors wrote 1.5 million prescriptions to treat not only schizophrenia, but also depression, bipolar disorder and autism-induced mood problems. We don’t really need studies to prove what Abilify and other drugs do because those drugs work on dopamine. When dopamine is raised excessively, it messes with the chemicals in the brain. Three studies concluded that discontinuation of Abilify could help patients get control of the pathological gambling. These can be easily found in “The British Medical Journal” from 2011, “JAMA” from 2014 and “Addictive Behaviors” from 2014. If you feel like you’ve been shopping excessively, binging on food or anything or experiencing unhealthy urges while taking Abilify, I recommend you speak to your doctor to either reduce your dosage, wean off altogether or try something natural to address brain chemistry and get it healthy again. Healing dopamine receptors takes time and while this side effect is unusual, I want you to know it can happen, because the FDA decided they only needed to warn doctors.

Advanced Prostate Cancer Cases Skyrocket, Research Finds
MONMOUTH COUNTY – Recently, a report came out announcing that the number of cases of aggressive, advanced-stage prostate cancer appears to be on the rise, with the largest increase of metastatic cancer to be among men 55 to 69 years of age. CentraState has stated that researchers hypothesize two reasons behind this significant spike. The fi rst is that, despite better technology, the screening guidelines have become more lax, and therefore when men
eventually do get screened and diagnosed, it’s already at a later stage. The second is possibly the disease itself has changed and become more aggressive. Whatever the reason, men now, more so than ever, should be diligent about speaking with their physician and getting screened, especially if there is a family history of the disease or they have risk factors or are experiencing symptoms of the disease.

New Survey Finds CPAs Believe Clients Will Pay More In Taxes
NEW JERSEY – New Jersey Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) believe their clients will pay more taxes in 2017 than they did this year and also expressed concerns about a slowdown in the state’s economy. In a recent survey conducted of New Jersey-based CPAs by Capital One Bank and the New Jersey Society of CPAs (NJCPA), 43 percent of respondents said they expect their clients will pay more in taxes this year, with just four percent believing they will pay less. In addition, 40 percent of respondents believe the New Jersey economy is lagging behind the national economy,
compared to just 10 percent who see New Jersey as outperforming the nation overall. Despite their perceptions of the challenging economic conditions in the state, many of those surveyed shared a positive view of the accounting industry’s prospects. Fifty-five percent of New Jersey CPAs reported that their company’s fi nancial performance has improved from last year, and more than 80 percent anticipate that their business will grow in the upcoming year. In fact, the challenge of hiring talented and skilled accountants was the most commonly expressed concern, by more than half of those surveyed.
“CPAs are a valuable asset in any environment, but their advice and counsel can be even more important as potential economic challenges emerge,” said Bill Gascoigne, senior vice president in the Professional Services Group at Capital One. “CPAs are familiar with the issues that arise as market environments evolve, and I know that our clients remain focused on improving their businesses and delivering the highest level of service.” “It’s encouraging that New Jersey CPAs anticipate their businesses will continue to prosper,” said NJCPA CEO and Executive Director Ralph Albert Thomas. “But a
lot of work still needs to be done to make New Jersey’s economic environment more attractive and keep businesses and retirees in the state.” The CPAs surveyed also weighed in on the top issue that could most impact their businesses in 2017. Twenty-five percent were most concerned about regulatory requirements, while 22 percent said the New Jersey tax climate would have the greatest impact and 18 percent felt complying with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act would be most significant.

Association Of Realtors Give Advice On Open Houses
NEW JERSEY – According to the National Association of Realtors, more than 40 percent of all homes sold last year were between the months of May and August. There are so many reasons why summer may be the perfect time to put a home on the market – families are trying to settle into a new place before the school year starts and buyers have their tax refunds firmly in hand. But with so many others reaching the same conclusion, how does one make their home stand out? “A well planned open house allows potential buyers to picture how life in this home would be, and in the summer people tend to be more relaxed; it’s the time of vacations and lazy days,” Ken Freeman, 2016 Ocean County Board of Realtors president. “So
making an open house a haven from the heat is the best way to help them visualize that this is the house is where they’ll want to spend all of their summers.” Here are a few tips to help make an open house stand out this summer: Pump the A/C: It’s easy for a house to become stuffy and warm during the summer, especially with exterior doors frequently opening and closing, so make sure that the air conditioning is running whenever there are potential buyers. Ken Freeman said, “Just make sure to keep the temperature cool and inviting, not set to a deep freeze.” Curb Appeal: A home’s curb appeal is its first impression, and the summer months can be harsh on a home’s front lawn. “Un-
like in winter, where fresh snow in the front yard can appear romantic and enticing to buyers, there is nothing attractive about the dry, dead lawns of summer,” said Ken Freeman. “Water frequently or update the home’s landscaping to something grassfree.” Outdoor Living: If the home has a pool, a large deck or an outdoor kitchen, the summer months are the perfect time to highlight them. “Put some lemonade out for buyers to enjoy on the patio and keep the pool crystal clean,” said Freeman. “Remember, however, that summer means kids are out of school, and they may be joining their parents on open house tours, so make sure that pool gates are kept locked tight for safety.”
Embrace the Season: “Potential buyers may be hot and thirsty when they arrive, so prepare for it,” said Freeman. “Have a cooler with ice-cold bottled water ready and waiting for them the moment they walk in the house, and have refreshing snacks, like watermelon or popsicles, available in the kitchen or on the patio. This will help home buyers picture the home as their oasis in the heat.” Following a few easy open house tips can help sellers quickly find the right buyer this summer. If interested in selling or buying a home this summer, contact Ocean County Board of Realtors or visit oceancountyrealtors.org to find a realtor.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
You Don’t Go Out Looking For A Job Dressed Like That? On A Weekday? Dear Joel I am very troubled by what I am witnessing with my 17 year old daughter. She has that horrible thing that enlarges the holes in her ears. She has green hair and a ring through her nostrils. I don’t particularly like her friends and feel that she is just heading for trouble. Answer I will say to you what I would say to any mother of a 17 year old. At the age of 17, a young woman is filled with uncertainty. Being that you are writing to me in 2016, it is probably triple the unsettled feeling that many teenagers experience 30, 40, 50 years ago. There is however no way to generalize and please keep in mind that she is an individual. I have no magic for you. If it were my daughter I’d be concerned too. I have, however, made this observation. Although I am somewhat concerned by what she is doing to herself, there is nothing in your description of her that is alarming. You don’t speak of drugs, stealing or
anything else that many mothers are currently dealing with. In as much as seeing this through, and the green hair may be difficult, if I am correct, I’d like for you to hold onto the following comforting words: Try and visualize her with no piercings and natural hair. My hunch is that she will turn out to be that way. What I tell many parents that write to me is to make certain that their children are fully occupied. What I mean by that is making certain that she is devoting a lot of hours to school and homework. Additionally, she isn’t too young to be working alongside her school work. At 17 she is at your mercy of continuing to live at home. That is a big card to hold over a 17 year old head. Remember that you have that power, it is healthy for both of you.

Inside The Law When Should I Change My Will?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
One of the most frequently asked questions in estate planning is “When should I change my Last Will and Testament?” There is no easy answer to this question. A Will does not get stale or need to be changed just because it is old. An old Will that still says what you want it to say may not need to be changed. So long as the persons named in the Will as benefi ciaries are those you want, and those persons named as executors, guardians and trustees are still capable of acting, the Will is still valid. So when should you change your Will? You should change your Will whenever the Will does not say what you want the Will to say. As an example, one of the persons you named as a beneficiary under the Will has passed away or is no longer deserving of your inheritance, or the distribution scheme in your Will is no longer what you may want. Or when a person named as an executor, trustee or guardian under the Will is no longer capable of acting as such. I recommend that you read your Will once a year to make sure that it says what you still want it to say. You should also read your Will whenever there is a major event in your life, such as a birth, death, marriage, divorce, change in fi nancial status or change in competency of any of the persons named in your Will. Does your Will still say what you want in light of that
major event? Another reason why I suggest you read your Will at Marc S. Galella Esq. least once a year is to make sure that you remember what your Will says. I have seen a number of instances where a person tell me what they think their Wills says, only to read the Will and see that it is different than what they thought it said. If you fi nd that your Will needs to be changed, what should you do? The fi rst thing I recommend is to see an attorney. In many cases, an attorney has drafted a Will to be flexible and to take into account that there may be changes in your life. Often the Will already anticipates the changes in your life and already has alternate provisions that address those events. In other cases, the Will needs to be changed and of course I always recommend that you retain an attorney to prepare a new Will for you. A Will is the most important legal document that most people will ever sign. Everyone should have a Will. But, as important as it is to have a Will, it is equally important that you have a Will that is up to date with what you want your Will to say. That is why I recommend that you review your Will to make sure it says what you want it to say. Read your Will today!

“Sunita Mann, MD Treats the Patient First... Not the Disease”
Sunita Mann, MD - Functional Medicine Specialist Functional Medicine is a fundamentally new way of thinking about health and disease and puts the power of being healthy back in the patient’s hands, in a partnership with their doctor. Dr. Sunita Mann has a favorite quote that embodies her philosophy of medicine: As Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” As a doctor that practices a relatively new field of medicine known as Functional Medicine, Dr. Mann places a heavy emphasis on eating healthy foods. This brand of medicine seeks to reveal the root cause of chronic health issues by looking at the patient’s entire body and their environment. “The key to this approach is to look beyond a group of symptoms and instead, treat the underlying cause of the condition. Many chronic diseases like Diabetes, Neurological disorders, Menopause and other hormonal imbalances cause significant problems for people and prevents them from living a healthy life. It can also result in a dependence on prescription drugs,” she says. However, there is much more
to healing than drugs. Functional Medicine is a fundamentally new way of thinking about health and disease. Conventional Medicine (which is what she was taught in Medical School) treats the signs and symptoms of disease, often individually. She adds, “We were taught to look at the body as systems rather than the whole being, in which so many health issues are interconnected.” How did you become involved in this area of medicine? Dr. Mann: I’ve found that many functional medicine doctors become involved in the field through their own health journey. The same is true for me. My Conventional Medicine training was in Diagnostic Radiology and Neuroradiology which gave me a great background in diagnosing medical problems. I practiced Radiology for 13 years until 2013 when I developed a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction to the contrast dye I routinely
used in my radiology procedures. As a result of the reaction, I was unable to walk more than 50 feet without feeling shortness of breath, had difficulty climbing steps, and was not able to drive. After many months of recovery, during which I realized I could not continue to practice in my chosen field of medicine, I knew it was time to take care of my health. That journey led me to uncover a whole new world of medicine, which combines the medical principles that are thousands of years old with the cutting edge technology of modern laboratory diagnosis. Because of my background, I needed to see the evidence of what was going on in my own body and from there, discover that health is a continuum: from optimal health, through problems such as weight gain, to high cholesterol, to high blood pressure and high blood sugar, to fatigue, all the way to disease. As I began a journey towards wellness, I realized that my newfound knowledge could help others dealing with illness. I then began my formal certification in Functional Medicine so I could offer these techniques to my patients. What is the main difference between Conventional medical care and Functional medicine? Dr. Mann: Conventional medicine is great at treating acute problems, such as pneumonia, heart attack, infections, and trauma. In fact, without this type of medicine I would not be alive today. After such a severe anaphylactic reaction, the only reason I am here is because of the amazing medical personnel who reacted so quickly to save my life. However, once a person is out of immediate health danger, conventional doctors are not trained to keep people in optimal health. A conventional doctor may counsel patients on eating a healthy diet and getting exercise but they lack the time and tools to help the patient with their specific health concerns. Functional medicine is Personalized Medicine and allows the doctor and patient to work together to look at the specific genetics, environment, laboratory findings and risk factors to formulate a specific plan to achieve the goal of optimal health. What are the benefits of this type of medicine? Dr. Mann: Personalized Functional Medicine treats the whole person rather than parts of the person. By looking at a combination of genetic predispositions, family history, and lifestyle factors (such as nutritional status, exercise, and stress levels) we use targeted
diagnostic tests to see what is going on inside the body. I can then provide an individualized plan to get a patient to optimal health. The goal is to locate and reverse physiological imbalances that may have been present for years before a person manifests disease, and in someone who already has a disease, to use those same tools to reverse the process. What is the most rewarding part about your profession? Dr. Mann:I love to help people who have been to many different conventional doctors looking for help, often bewildered by how they got to this point and then finally come to the realization that they can achieve optimal health. What is the most challenging? Dr. Mann: The field requires a real commitment from the patient to become my partner in getting healthy. There are those who hope for a “magic pill” to solve their chronic health problems and the simple truth is, there is no such thing. Like anything worth having
status, and the health of the gut. All of these factors can be tested for and if a person is found to have problems in any of these areas, they can be treated with a highly personalized plan to reverse these changes. Do you treat a lot of women with hormonal issues? Dr. Mann: Yes I see many patients with hormonal concerns who are afraid to take hormones because they’ve heard that it can increase the risk of cancers and other problems. I like to educate my patients about Bio-identical Hormones, which are very different from the commonly prescribed hormones, derived from horse urine that many women have used in the past. Bio identical hormones are a natural replacement for the hormones we all lose as we age and in fact, are crucial for good health. You could say that Dr. Mann practices what she preaches. After a long day at the office she draws on the relaxation techniques she
in life, optimal health takes commitment and true desire to change the habits that lead the patient down the path to illness. Another challenge is the cost of some of the testing. Unfortunately, many of the tests that assist in functional medicine diagnosis are not covered by insurance. The patient and I have to make a decision about which testing is the most critical to start with. I try to work within their cost constraints but as I explain to patients who have already seen so many other doctors, sometimes paying for the testing themselves makes all the difference in getting healthy. What are the most common issues you see in your profession? Dr. Mann: What I treat mirrors the common health concerns present in America today. Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer – these are the main drivers of the common killers. Conventional medicine waits until the onset of these conditions to start treatment. Functional medicine uses testing to find the earliest signs that a patient is at risk for a specific disease. I look at the body’s response to certain foods or the presence of food sensitivities, level of inflammation in the body, the hormone
has learned over her years of being in the field. She adds, “One of the most powerful tools available to all of us is the practice of breathing techniques to actually change our physiology.” She uses yoga-breathing exercises in the morning to get ready for the day and ends her day with meditation to help her unwind. By practicing these techniques regularly she is able to reduce stress and directly reduce inflammation in her body, which she believes is the main cause of chronic disease. Dr. Mann grew up in Edison and after obtaining her undergraduate degree in Biology at Rutgers University; she went on to Medical School at UMDNJ-Rutgers. After an internship in Internal Medicine, she obtained a degree in Radiology from UMDNJ- University Hospital and then received advanced fellowship training in Neuroradiology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She and her husband, who is also a physician have three children and reside in Marlboro. Her office is located at 100 State Route 36, Suite 2G, West Long Branch.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen ‘What’s In A Name?’ Whatever You Call It, This Dish Satisfies By Wolfgang Puck
Shakespeare penned the famous question that Ms. Capulet poses in “Romeo and Juliet.” And that question often applies to food as much as it does to romance. Just like other lovers of good cooking, I’ve found in my travels across America and around the world that very similar dishes can go by very different names in different places. Take the Denver omelet. Or is it the Western omelet? Depending on where you order it, the name may vary. The constants will almost always be some sort of ham, chopped onion and green bell pepper. And it seems that the closer a Western omelet gets to Colorado’s Mile High City, cheese seems to be added and the name changes to Denver omelet. But that’s not always true, and you’ll sometimes find fierce arguments between food lovers over what to put into it or call it. Paraphrasing the Bard, I would simply suggest that whichever name we use, it will taste just as delicious. The same goes with terms used for omelets themselves. Some people still like to use the French spelling, omelette. Cross the border from France to Spain, and cook the omelet flat like a thin pancake instead of folded. And it’s called a tortilla, the same term used in Mexico for their thin, round f latbreads made with flour or corn. Across the Ligurian Sea in Italy, a similar egg dish becomes a frittata. I certainly believe in respecting culinary traditions. Even more, however, I respect ingredients, always trying to select the best, freshest, seasonal, local, organic ones, cooking them in ways that respect their integrity. And as a chef who loves to be creative, I also enjoy coming up with fresh variations on classics. That’s how I came up with the smoked salmon pizza, still an in-demand favorite at Spago and my other restaurants. In a similar spirit, I would like to offer a new creation that I’ll call a Western or Denver frittata. It includes the onion and bell pepper you’d expect. But I use red instead of green pepper, replace the usual ham with pieces of bacon, add a little chopped chile pepper, plus pieces of scallion and cherry tomato, and include Parmesan instead of the Denver version’s customary cheddar or American cheese. As my own changes might suggest, you should feel free to swap out or add your own favorite ingredients. Finally, I cook the omelet flat, in the style of a frittata or tortilla, starting it
on the stovetop and finishing it under the broiler. The result makes a great main dish for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. And I’m sure that, whatever name you might choose to call it by, it’s a versatile dish you are sure to fall in love with. WESTERN OR DENVER FRITTATA Serves 2 to 4 2 thick slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch (6-mm) pieces 1/4 yellow onion, coarsely chopped 1/4 large red bell pepper, diced 1/4 poblano chile, diced 2 medium red potatoes, cooked and sliced, slices cut crosswise in half Freshly ground black pepper Kosher salt 5 large cage-free eggs 4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed 2 scallions, cut diagonally into thin slices 4 cherry tomatoes, quartered Fresh basil leaves, for garnish Preheat the broiler. Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet over high heat, saute the bacon until it starts to brown. Pour off excess fat. Add the onion, bell pepper and poblano, and saute until they start to soften slightly; then, add the potato. Continue cooking until the edges of the vegetables are golden brown. Season with pepper and a little salt. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the eggs, Parmesan, cream, and salt and pepper to taste. With a fork, beat until well blended. Drizzle the 1 tablespoon of olive oil around the bacon and vegetables. Pour in the eggs. Over medium heat, stir the eggs briskly with the back of a fork until they begin to set but are still very moist. Scatter the tomatoes and scallions evenly over the top. Place the pan under the preheated broiler. Cook another 1 to 3 minutes, until the eggs are set on top to your liking. Return the pan to medium heat, drizzle the edge and top of the frittata with a little more oil, and continue cooking until the bottom is fully set and golden brown. With the help of a spatula, if necessary, slide the omelet from the pan onto a large serving plate. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. To serve, cut in half or into wedges.
