Police Dept. Eliminates Crossing Guards
By Catherine Galioto HOWELL – Citing a decreasing demand due to courtesy busing, Police Chief Andrew Kudrick said the five crossing guard positions within the police department would be eliminated. In an announcement last week, Kudrick explained the move, saying the positions were part-time ones, for shifts of about three hours long each school day. Four of the five crossing guards were designated to the areas around Taunton and Newbury Schools, said the police chief, with the fifth moved to the high school a few years ago to assist with bus traffic and did not engage in the movement of pedestrian students. “Most residents, outside of the Candlewood development, may have not even realized we had crossing guards,” Kudrick said in his public message through the police department Facebook page August 18. “The positions were created in the early 198’s for the construction of the Candlewood development. Although the township was growing, this was basically the only large-scale residential area at the time. Two (Crossing - See Page 5)

By Catherine Galioto HOWELL – After an extensive detour, Kent Road was scheduled to be reopened August 26, freeing up a corridor between Howell and Jackson. The municipal road project first created a detour for road closure back in July. But in a recent update of township road and capital projects, Township Manager Jeffrey Mayfield announced the scheduled reopening. The August 15 update said the project was on schedule, with final paving for August 22 and 23. “Final cleanup will occur after paving and the road is expected to be open by August 26,” Mayfield said.
The pavement through the S-curve along Kent Road just north and south of Brown Road had deteriorated over the years, Mayfield said previously, and required full reconstruction. The cross slope of the road was replaced with a super elevated curve to meet DOT design standards, with the project including elements such as slight curve realignment, superelevation, drainage installation, partial curb work and full pavement reconstruction. Detours began at Lanes Mill Road and Kent, with traffic sent either down Lanes Mills or to Church Road as part of the detour.

There are so many wonderful memories of great times had at this home,” said Club President Wanda Nebiolo, in a message to followers on Facebook. The two lots purchased are located on Lanes Mill Road right across from Lowe’s Garden Center. Block 25, lots 70 and 71, had been owned by Lakewood Maennerchor Inc since 1930. The plan is to build a 23,500 square foot retail building which includes a 7,500 square foot Texas Roadhouse restaurant. This would be the second restaurant the chain opens in Monmouth County, the first being in Holmdel. The retail plaza and Texas Roadhouse will become the newest addition to the commercial development in the area around Route 9 North and Lanes Mill known as Greenleaf Plaza, which is home to BJ’s and the Xscape Theater.

The next scheduled event for the club is a summer picnic at the American Legion in Toms River on September 11. “For our dinner dances we have been at various establishments such as the American Legion on Church Road in Toms River and our Christmas Party will be held at the Crystal Point,” she said. “We are currently looking for property that would accommodate approximately 60 to 70 members for our membership meetings.” On August 15, the Howell Town Council authorized a renewal of the Alcohol Beverage Control liquor license for Lakewood Maennerchor, for the period of July 1 to June 30, 2017, as a pocket license. The official documentation still reads the club’s address on Lanes Mill but the pocket license cannot be transferred to another entity, in this case Texas Roadhouse, without a sale of the license and place transfer approval.

schools were built within this development specifically for these residents. With the influx of children walking to both schools, the police department saw a need to place crossing guards at certain intersections.” Though Howell’s population certainly grew since then, the number of crossing guards did not, instead serving the Candlewood area mostly, said the chief. Police would be used when crossing guards were not there, a move which he said was costly. As Kudrick assumed the chief spot about a year ago, he reviewed all department operations for cost and effectiveness, including the crossing guards. “Since then, the township has grown significantly with other major residential developments being established throughout. Yet, no other crossing guards were assigned to these areas and all four positions remained in Candlewood. In the absence of the crossing guards, police officers were assigned to their posts. This proved to be an ineffective and expensive use of our officers as they continually reported the lack of student traffic. This took an officer away from his patrol duties within that sector for a considerable amount of time,” he said. Kudrick said the move might open the department up to criticism, but the decision was based in officer reports, traffic safety, interviews and more. “Beginning last July when I became Chief, a reorganization study of the department was conducted. All positions and processes with-

However, with the implementation of 100 percent courtesy busing, the need to have someone posted at a limited amount of intersections with barely any pedestrian is no longer needed. The very limited amount of walking students did not justify for a crossing guard or an officer to be present. The justification to maintain these positions would be the equivalent of placing a crossing guard or officer at every ‘major’ intersection in every other development throughout the township. That is just not economically feasible, practical, or necessary.” “The very limited amount Kudrick said the township managof walking students did not er, Jeffrey Mayfield, agrees to the justify for a crossing guard or an recommendation to eliminate the police department crossing guards. officer to be present.” He did not say what the financial – Howell Township Police Chief impact of the move would be or Andrew Kudrick when it would begin.
VA Requests Participation In Burn Pit Registry
NEW JERSEY – The Veterans Affairs Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry is asking eligible veterans and service members to join their registry. In doing so, participants will document their exposures and report health concerns through an online questionnaire. This is also printable for individuals to take to their medical appointments where they can discuss concerns with their healthcare providers. Currently, only two percent of eligible personnel with burn pit exposure are registered. Those who are eligible include individuals who served in Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom, O p e r at ion New D aw n , O p e r at ion s Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Djibouti (after Sept. 11, 2001) and Southwest Asia (after Aug. 2, 1990). The questionnaire takes approximately 40 minutes to complete and can be completed in one sit ting, or can be saved and returned at a later time. Members can check eligibility and take the survey at publichealth.va.gov/ exposures/burnpits/registry.asp.

E�������� A Left Turn Lane For Route 9? The latest plan to bring relief to congestion and dangerous conditions on Route 9 between Route 571 in Toms River and Cross Street in Lakewood suggests adding a center turning lane along a stretch of the state highway. A similar lane exists on much of Fischer Boulevard for example, and traffic hoping to make a left turn into a plaza can use the center lane to wait to make their turn safely. On Fischer, both sides of that county road are lined with so many entrances to businesses, strip malls and local roads. That, and the busy nature of Fischer Boulevard, is similar to conditions on Route 9. But that’s where the similarities stop. For much of Fischer, traffic has multiple lanes traveling north and south, unlike this stretch of Route 9, which for decades has one lane in each direction. Fischer has a tremendous capacity to keep traffic moving with its current set-up, while Route 9 backs up and stalls its traffic. Adding that turning lane could help, but in our view, not much. It would make it
easier for those turning onto Route 9 from local roads or driveways to get up to speed or queue into traffic, certainly. But instead of adding another much-needed lane for traffic, creating one just for turning doesn’t completely solve the problem of all the extra traffic heading north or south – it still is the same amount of lanes as before. It may even complicate traffic. A northbound driver trying to turn left into a strip mall would use the same lane space as a southbound driver making a left turn into a business on their side of the road, which means one driver is the oncoming traffic of the other driver. We’re glad to see – finally – some focus on improving Route 9 and recognizing what the future holds, given all the proposed development and population growth the corridor is seeing in this area. Plans for new traffic signals, right turn lanes and better placement of bus stops are encouraging proposals. The targeted focus on this six-mile stretch is needed.

L������ T� T�� E����� Patriotism More Than Actions On Memorial Day Regarding Mr. Shedaker’s recent letter opining that the Orthodox community in Lakewood is disrespectful of Memorial Day due to their failure to attend parades or display flags and their choice to attend school thereby forcing bus drivers to work. I wonder if Mr. Shedaker holds the same opinion of Jehovah’s Witnesses who neither display flags nor celebrate the holiday nor will they enter the armed forces in defense of this country, or are his feelings reserved strictly for the residents of Lakewood? How does he feel about every retail store, restaurant or movie theater that failed to close on that day in the name of profit thereby forcing employees to work? Is that also disrespectful of our very precious holiday? To be sure, the issues in Lakewood are deep and plentiful, but one’s patriotism and respect for this country is not determined by flag waving or parade attendance. Pinning a flag to one’s lapel doesn’t make you a patriot any more than driving into your garage makes you a car. Kathleen Brooks Jackson
Candidates Must Commit To Social Security Funding One way for the candidates to demonstrate they have what it takes to be president is to tell voters how they’ll
keep Social Security strong for our kids and grandkids. Millions of Garden State residents are paying into Social Security, but the program is out of date. If our nation’s leaders don’t act, future retirees could lose up to $10,000 a year in benefits. With a volatile stock market and fewer jobs offering pensions, today’s workers and future generations will likely have an even greater need for Social Security. Before we decide who to vote for, we deserve to know if the presidential candidates will commit to taking action to update Social Security for us, our kids and grandkids. Douglas Johnston Manager of Governmental Affairs & Advocacy AARP State Office, New Jersey
No To “There’s Always Next Year” Sen. Stephen Sweeney made a promise to our members that the pension amendment would happen this year. Next year isn’t good enough. He needs to decide whether he’s going to lead or just roll over and be part of the problem. New Jersey has too many politicians who have broken pension promises. We need a leader who will keep the promise. We will not accept anything less than the amendment he promised this year. Wendell Steinhauer NJEA President

Hillary’s Your Answer Now that we have fi nished watching the Olympics of presidential conventions, there can be no comparison as to the victor -- Hillary Clinton! To see the caliber of her spokespersons was truly amazing, from the Muslim father whose son was killed in Afghanistan, to the young lady with cerebral palsy who is now an advocate for those with disabilities, to the retired general who led the war in Afghanistan, to disaffected Republican spokespeople, along with so many others, and the nominee herself who is actually intelligent, sane and experienced. The other presidential nominee has such thin skin and can be taunted so easily to tweet non-presidential tantrums along with name calling. I am amazed that the race is even close. You seniors, do you like your Medicare and Social Security? Do you want these “entitlements” (per the Republicans) changed and lessened? You young people, do you want your and future generations to continue to be saddled with astronomical student loan debt? You middle class, do you want to work and work and hardly make ends meet while those at the top take the lion’s share? You earth people, do you love this planet and want it abused by climate change deniers? Do you want a person with questionable judgment to have his hand on the nuclear button? If not, Hillary’s your answer! I know some of you want an “outsider,” but be very careful what you wish for. Our nation and our world depends on it. Rosemary Doherty Berkeley
Condolences I would like to send my deepest heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends of the woman who was struck and killed while walking along Ridgeway Road in Barnegat on August 8. According to the reports, as she was walking her dog and speaking with her husband on her cell phone, she was hit by a speeding Silverado truck and left to die on the road. She passed away in the hospital. The driver left the scene, prompting a police manhunt which resulted in the driver’s arrest at her home. I can’t imagine how her husband felt when he spotted her lying on that lonely road, but apparently there was a witness. Although, unfortunately, there has been a number of people who have been killed or badly injured on our local roads, I’m very saddened by this incident because I’ve walked on this road many times and I may have passed her and exchanged greetings. Let this tragedy remind us all when walking or jogging to be aware of the vehicles whizzing by us. There’s just not enough room i n some areas to walk. I’ve noticed that most drivers are careful near pedestrians, but I’ve also seen motorists who like to play ‘ch icken’ w it h you, are on cell phones, are screaming out their windows at you or racing through crosswalks. Due to these experiences, I prefer to walk facing the traffic flow, so I can watch what the drivers are doing. People at both ends really need to be careful. Rest in peace, dear fellow walker.

Freeholders Advance Ft. Monmouth Bond Plan
FREEHOLD – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders have advanced a plan to guarantee up to $35 million in notes and bonds through t he Mon mout h Cou nt y I m p r ove m e n t Au t h o rity (MCIA) to aid with the revitalization of the now-shuttered Fort Monmouth property. The bond plan progressed at a recent public hearing setting the stage for final approval later this month. “The best option for county taxpayers is for the county to assume the leadership role in regard to the Fort Monmouth Reuse Plan. We have a responsibility to ensure the property is returned to its once vital place in the economy of our county, and by guaranteeing the sale of these bonds we take an active role in the future successes for the site,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone. T h roug h t he c ou nt y author ization, the For t Mon mouth Economic Revitalization Authority (FM ER A) will acquire 560 acres from the United States Army as part of the Phase II redevelopment efforts at the former military installation. The large parcel encompasses land within the boroughs of Eatontown and Oceanport, and is expected to deliver
a much-needed economic boost to the region. “The potential impact of this tremendous redevelopment on the quality of life, tax revenue, amenities and overall living standard for the three boroughs, the county and our residents is enormous, and its many benefits will be enjoyed for decades to come,” said Freehold Lillian G. Burry, who serves as the county freeholder representative on the FMERA board. The $35 million bond guaranty takes advantage of the county’s prestigious triple-A rating from all three major national fi nancial rating agencies over the past 17 years. The AAA rating allows the county to enjoy the lowest possible interest rate on the loans. The AAA ratings ref lect Monmouth County’s consistently sound financial management, stable growth and low debt burden, according to reports released by the three bond-rating agencies. Mon mouth is the only county in New Jersey and one of less than three dozen counties in the nation that can claim to have received the highest score from the three rating agencies. But Freeholder John P. Curley, who was the lone dissenting vote for the bond authorization, has argued
he wants to see the local municipalities who will benefit the most from the project to be involved in guarantying the bonds. “The financial structure of the deal should be revised to include the participating municipalities ensuring equity of fi nancial obligation, and the ultimate say in the decision-making process. The municipalities should have the ultimate say in the land use of their communities as designed in their respective master plan,” said Curley. When the Department of Defense announced the closing of Fort Monmouth in 2005, the economic impact was expected to be severe. That fear became reality when more than 5,600 jobs were lost or t ransfer red out of New Jersey. Several years after the base closed, there are signs of an economic t ur naround in business relocations, housing and mixed use development at the former base. The entire Fort Monmouth property is spread over 1,126 acres in the boroughs of Eatontown, Oceanport and Tinton Falls. “This is the right decision for Monmouth County. By guaranteeing these bonds we are helping to support the three boroughs and ever yone in Monmouth
County. With an estimated market value of more than $90 million for the project, and a total improvement value estimated at about $1 billion over the next ten years, this is a good investment,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Serena DiMaso, liaison to the MCIA. “The closure of Fort Monmouth brought the ancillary loss of nearly 15,000 jobs. The Fort Monmouth Revitalization Authority has already delivered new jobs on the property, and the sale and potential projects for the site can only enhance those gains exponentially. That alone makes this a good move for Monmouth County,” said Freeholder Gary J. Rich, Sr. During the public comment portion of the Freeholder meeting, mayors from the three towns directly impacted by the base closu re expressed their appreciation for the backing the fi nancing and continuing to support efforts to revitalize the Fort. Comments were made by Eatontown Mayor Dennis J. Con nolly, Oceanpor t Mayor John F. Coffey and Tinton Falls Mayor Gerald M. Turning. Mayor Coffey explained that just over a third of the acreage in the Borough of Oceanport was not under control of the town. “Com-
bined, Fort Monmouth and Monmouth Park make up about 690 acres of a town that is only 2,400 acres. This financing takes a player out of the equation. It is essentially addition by subtraction. We are removing a bureaucracy that has slowed things down and taking it completely out of play. We will have one less approval to gain and one less hurdle to jump,” said Coffey. FMERA’s goal is to develop 1,585 housing units; 300,000 square-feet of non-prof it, civ ic, government and educational space; 500,000 square-feet for retail and 2 million square-feet devoted to offices, research and other commercial uses. The key to success is targeting fi rms that specialize in cutting-edge information and communications technologies. FMERA is hoping to capitalize on the area’s high income level, its educated workforce, the convenience to public transportation and the Garden State Parkway and the fact that young college graduates favor living and working in the area. FMERA anticipates constructing housing and retail first, followed by small tech companies and business incubators before attempting to secure corporate anchors. The J.F. Kiley Group
will lease office space to other fi rms and is negotiating to buy and upgrade additional facilities. FMERA’s biggest success to date is the relocation of CommVault and its data management operation. More than 900 workers are currently employed at the 650,000 square foot facility, which is now CommVault’s new world headquarters. When finished, more than 2,500 employees will work at the Tinton Falls facility. The Lennare fi rm has an agreement to convert 50 acres next to CommVault into housing units and a fitness center. Trinity Hall, an all-girls college preparatory high school, will open its doors in September on the Tinton Falls section of the former Fort. Monmouth County also has several facilities on the former base. In August 2013, the Monmouth County Park System began operating its popular public recreation center with an outdoor pool at the for mer For t Mon mouth Teen Center. The county has a public works yard on the Eatontown section of the for mer base and plans a re i n mot ion to extend County Route 537 through the former Fort’s front gate in Eatontown to Oceanport.

First Financial Foundation Names Scholarship Winners FREEHOLD – The First Financial Federal Credit Union Foundation awarded a $500 scholarship to Dylan Wisniewski of Howell, a senior who recently graduated from Howell High School’s Vocational Educational Program and Kelsey Quinn of Howell, a senior who recently graduated from Freehold High School. In order to qualify for this year’s scholarship, high school seniors attending school in Monmouth or Ocean Counties were given the option to submit a written essay or create a 60 second video clip. The students must also be attending an accredited two or four year college or university in the fall of 2016. Wisniewski submitted an essay where he began with the financial freedom that comes from
having a few dollars and the pitfalls that come with easy spending combined with no savings. He related how he received an “A” in his Financial Literacy class, but nearly flunked in his real life spending habits. Quinn wrote an essay, beginning with the importance of having a good credit score, the need for having the basic knowledge for creating a good score and the commitment to be responsible with credit. She included ways to build credit with a secured credit card, a credit builder loan or to have a co-signer for an unsecured credit card. “We are thrilled to be able to aid these admirable and bright young students in their journey of success and education,” said First Financial President and CEO Issa Stephan.

By Catherine Galioto HOWELL – The Monmouth County Mosquito Control Division will use a portion of Soldiers Memorial Park field as a landing and loading site for its helicopter, for a period possibly lasting now through September. The helicopter is part of the division’s aerial mosquito control program. In a letter to the township, the superintendent to the county mosquito control division explained that site was chosen due to its proximity to 15 airspray sites within 1 to
2 miles away from the township park. The helicopter would use that spot about twice a month, with the aerial operations starting around sunset and lasting about 45 minutes to one hour, said the superintendent. Ground crew remain in radio contact with the helicopter pilot, to ensure no landing is attempted when people are present. But before any pesticide operation begins, the township police are notified of the county activity, said the superintendent.

Diocese Discusses Merger Of Two Jackson Parishes
By Shawn Smith JACKSON – A plan to merge two parishes in Jackson has patrons of the smaller of the two churches expressing concerns, saying it will negatively impact them financially and create a void in the community. St. Monica’s held a town hall meeting in front of about 150 people on August 9 to address the Faith in Our Future initiative. The program calls for the possible merger of St. Monica’s parish with St. Aloysius parish, possibly creating a 7,000 family congregation. Along with the church clergy, Msgr. Leonard F. Troiano of the Diocese in Trenton was present to discuss the details of the initiative. The meeting, led by Troiano, the chair of planning for the Diocese, explained the plan to the town hall, saying that it was still in its preliminary stages and the extent of the details were still being worked out. Despite pushback from the church, the Diocese current recommendation of Cohort 23 (St. Monica’s, St. Aloysius – both in Jackson) is to merge the two parishes no later than July 2018. As a secondary site, St. Monica’s would be evaluated every two years depending on finances and usage. The Diocese of Trenton declined to comment on matters still in the preliminary stages. At the meeting, Deacons Mike Principato and Christian Knoebel addressed the crowd with the concerns they have that they felt they shared with the church. These included a loss of identity for St. Monica’s, taking on the financial burden of the current upgrade at St. Aloysius and the increased
distance that may determine if a person goes to mass. “Jackson is a big place,” Knoebel said. “It’s 100 square miles. It’s one of the largest townships in New Jersey and I’m very, very concerned that it will be difficult for some people to go across town to go to mass.” Along with the distance, Knoebel also spoke of St. Monica’s taking on the current financial burden of St. Aloysius. Despite having no say on the decision of the upgrades, St. Monica’s would have to split the costs. “Personally, I think the new architecture of the new building up there is beautiful,” Knoebel said. “But it was an expensive endeavor and there is quite a bit of money still owed on that building. If we merge, some of us, to some degree, will be taking on the financial responsibility of that burden.” Knoebel explained the current finances of St. Monica’s, saying the church is “in the black and financially in sound condition,” and the merger could set the church back. “I understand that the size of our group would be sort of a drop in the bucket over there at St. Al’s [sic] and might get lost in a lot of different ways: socially, possibly spiritually, definitely financially.” A representative of St. Aloysius referred comment to Very Reverend John Bambrick, who is away on vacation. One of the biggest concerns that made the church consider merging the two parishes is the lack of priests, not just in Ocean County, but all over the world, according to Principato. There are more
priests retiring than there are being hired into the church. The mass populations are also being affected by changes in population, as well as affluent growth. Principato said the church can look at the history of St. Monica’s, but should also look at how the church stands now. Under the guidance of Father Alex Enriquez, the church has become more active now than it was a year ago, unlike most other churches that are seeing a decline. “We need to allow the powers that be to know that St. Monica in Jackson goes against the grain,” Principato said. “We are the exception. We are growing. We are more active now than we were last year. We give more now than we did last year.” He said the church can affect the decision and the upcoming changes by becoming more active within the church and by giving more to the church. “We need to do our very best to show whoever it is that needs to be shown that St. Monica can make it on its own,” Principato said. “We can affect this process.” Troiano allowed time for comments and concerns, as well as answering any questions that may have come up. He felt pushback from the church when someone asked him for the address of Bishop David O’Connell, so they could send him their concerns. “It tends to be frowned upon to send letters directly to the Bishop,” one member of the clergy said. “If we do this letter thing, bring them to the core group, and they will pass them to the planning commission.” One resident said that was not good enough, and
she wanted her letter to go directly to the Bishop. “I want the Bishop to know how I feel. I have a voice,” the resident said. While stressing the plan to merge the two churches was still in its preliminary stage, Troiano said the implementation of the merger could begin as soon as July 2017. Any decisions of the planning commission would then go to the Bishop, who will make his final decision on the matter in January of next year.

App Gives Patrons More Access To Library
MANALAPAN – It’s music and reading as all branches of the Monmouth County Library continue a unique package of entertainment, education and recreation available through technology. “The $10,000 grant we received from LibraryLinkNJ two years ago went a long way towards continuing the Library Commission’s dedication to keep all the resources in our library system literally in the palm of the hand of all our users,” said Renee Swartz, commission chairperson. The commission launched a six month campaign last month titled, “Monmouth County Library in the Palm of Your Hand,” to keep residents aware of the availability of resources not only within the walls of the 13 branch and 14 member libraries, but also through their webbased services and information. The app, provided partially by the grant, enables users to search a catalog for books, DVDs, reference, audio and eBooks and more, including foreign language streaming video and online courses.

CentraState Becomes Only Memory Screening Site In Monmouth County
FREEHOLD – CentraState Medical Center has been selected by the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America to be one of only 11 memory screening sites in New Jersey, and the only site in Monmouth County. As part of the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s National Memory Screening Program, CentraState was chosen to administer memory screenings and provide educational materials about memor y concerns, brain health and successful aging to anyone who is concerned about memory loss or experiencing warning signs of Alzheimer’s or dementia, or who want to see how their memory is now and for future comparisons. The memory screenings are non-invasive and quick, taking about 10 to 15 minutes. These screenings consist of a series of questions and tasks designed to gauge memory, language and thinking skills. CentraState will offer the confidential screenings for a fee of $5 at CentraState’s St a r a nd Ba r r y Tobias A mbulator y Campus by appointment only. For more information or to schedule a memory screening, email mabraham@centrastate. com or call 732-637-6303. Warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease include: forgetting people’s names and events, asking repetitive questions, loss of verbal or written skills, confusion and personality changes. Memory screeners, who are specially trained rehabilitation therapists and nurses, emphasize that the results of a screening are not a diagnosis, and encourage individuals to see their primary care physician for a thorough evaluation. Memory screenings, however, are an important part of successful aging and

Ingredients similar to aspirin were extracted from meadowsweet and willow bark centuries ago, but in 1899, salicin was altered into a patentable drug called aspirin. Aspirin was approved for the treatment of gout and rheumatic fever, but today we know it as an anti-clotting agent and pain reliever. Around 100 billion aspirin tablets are produced every year. Aspirin is a “salicylate” compound and millions of people are unknowingly allergic to salicylates, mainly because the foods that it occurs in naturally are not very similar. For example, broccoli, olives, Coca cola, breath mints, pistachios, mushrooms and coffee have nothing obvious in common, so you’d never trace a salicylate allergy to these foods. Yet, they all contain salicylates, similar to aspirin. So if you’re reactive to any of those foods, it’s a clue you might have a salicylate allergy. Salicylate are found in dozens of foods that aren’t similar. Symptoms that may occur include headaches, asthma, wheezing, nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, itching, rash, swelling of your hands, feet or your face or sinus symptoms. Your throat may get itchy, painful or swollen, or your lips may swell. If you experience these or other symptoms, it could very well be the “aspirin” in your food, termed a salicylate allergy. People who know they are allergic to aspirin know to avoid other over-the-counter medications which may contain aspirin such as cold or flu remedies, antacids,
menstrual cycle pain-relievers, certain fizzy antacids, teething gel or toothache remedies. Some who are allergic to aspirin can actually eat some salicylate-rich foods without a problem. And then there’s a subset of people who eat foods and suffer, and don’t know why. And finally, there are some of you who need the benefits of aspirin, and want to eat salicylates through natural sources. So the following list of foods high in salicylate will serve a different purpose for all of you, depending on what category you fall into. Natural aspirin is found in the following: apples, apricots, avocados, blackberries, blueberries, broccoli, cantaloupe, cauliflower, cherries, chili peppers, cucumbers, currants, dates, dried herbs/spices, eggplant, figs, grapefruit, grapes, green peppers, guava, kiwi, licorice herb (candy is okay), meadowsweet, mint (gum, breath mints, toothpaste), all kinds of nuts, paprika, peaches, plums, prunes, radishes, raspberries, spinach, strawberries, turmeric, wine and .zucchini Fruits and vegetables are higher in salicylates when not fully ripe. You might be wondering why a handful of you can eat salicylate-rich foods when you are allergic to aspirin. It’s because aspirin contains an “acetyl” molecule on the compound because that acetyl group was attached to it in order to turn the natural herb into a drug. Naturally-occurring salicylates do not have this acetyl group and that’s what usually triggers the reaction.

New Jersey Volunteers Deploy To Louisiana To Help With Relief Efforts
NEW JERSEY – The American Red Cross is helping thousands of people in Louisiana after unprecedented flooding has left many rivers in record flood stage. More than 10,600 people sought refuge in nearly 50 Red Cross and community shelters in Louisiana August 14. “This is an extremely chaotic situation right now, with life-threatening f lood waters, power outages and road closures complicating relief efforts – as many local volunteers have also been directly affected by the flooding,” said Brad Kieserman, vice president, Disaster Services Operations and Logistics for the Red Cross. “This is by far our largest sheltering effort in Louisiana since Hurricane Isaac, and the bulk of this staggering devastation is in areas that typically don’t experience flooding. The Red Cross is mobilizing a massive relief effort which could be our largest since Hurricane Sandy.”
NEW JERSEY – The 2016 Tour de Pines, sponsored by Pinelands Preservation Alliance (PPA), celebrates Pinelands Month in October with five consecutive single day bicycle tours of the New Jersey Pinelands. This year the tour will run from September 28 to October 2. Proceeds benefit the Pinelands Preservation
Thousands of people have been forced from their homes with little but the clothes on their backs. Red Cross disaster volunteers are providing shelter, food and comfort. Additional volunteers, relief supplies and emergency response vehicles are moving toward Louisiana now to bolster response efforts. Red Cross volunteers from New Jersey are among those assisting with relief efforts in Louisiana. Kathy Wong of Florham Park has deployed to serve as a shelter supervisor, Mary Sterling of Freehold and Linda Kolman of Ventnor City are also working at shelters and Lynn Paul of Voorhees and Barry Verbel of Somerset are helping with feeding services. “Many volunteers with the Red Cross in Louisiana came to New Jersey to help following Superstorm Sandy and I am grateful to our New Jersey volunteers who are now providing help and hope to those
affected by massive flooding in Louisiana,” said Ana Montero, regional CEO, American Red Cross New Jersey Region. “The Red Cross will be on the ground for weeks helping Louisiana families who have lost their homes and everything they own. Please join the Red Cross in supporting Louisiana by making a much needed fi nancial donation today.” The Red Cross has also mobilized 60 disaster response vehicles, 40,000 readyto-eat meals and more than two dozen trailer loads of shelter and kitchen supplies. Flooding is expected to continue for several days, and once waters recede it will take some time to fully uncover the extent of the devastation. The Red Cross will be working closely with partners in the days ahead to ensure people receive the help they need as quickly as possible.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
The Nature Of The Beast
Dear Joel My husband and I are fighting over a dog. I love animals and cannot live without one. My dream is to rescue two this year. We have a large yard and can afford to feed them. At this time I have no children except for my husband’s children from a previous marriage. I need this in my life right now as there is a feeling of emptiness. The problem is that my husband says that I am selfish because he has bad allergies, especially to dogs. I see him as the selfish one for depriving me of this. Answer People are selfish beings. It is the nature of the beast. I see both sides here. There is however a possible solution. While there are few things as beautiful as rescuing an animal at a shelter, it may not be the best choice for your home. Although there is really no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog, some breeds are better than others. I would sug-
gest that you do some online research and have your husband see if he reacts by visiting some litters. A reputable breeder may suggest the following, referred to as the t-shirt test. Your husband will send or deliver a t-shirt to the breeder. The breeder will let the mother and new born pups play with the t-shirt. It is then returned to you and your husband can wear it for a day or so. If reacts, chances are the outcome will be that he will be allergic to that dog. Although it isn’t fool proof it has helped many families. I wish you luck. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Inside The Law An Overview Of “Death Taxes” In New Jersey
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Persons passing away as residents of New Jersey may have their estates subject to potentially three “death taxes.” These taxes are the Federal Estate Tax (FET); the New Jersey Estate Tax (NJET) and the New Jersey Inheritance Tax (IT). This article will provide a brief overview of these death taxes. The Federal Estate Tax is an estate tax imposed by federal law. The bad news is that the FET tax rate is very high at 40 percent. However, the good news is that as part of the continuation of the Bush Tax cuts, the FET threshold has been raised and in this year (2016) the FET applies only to estates in excess of $5,450,000. The better news is that for a married couple, the threshold can be as high as $10,900,000 under certain circumstances. For the majority of persons reading this article, the FET is not a concern. The New Jersey Estate Tax was referred to as a “sponge tax.” This meant that a percentage of the FET was paid to the State of New Jersey. After the FET threshold was raised in 2002, the State clarified that the NJET would remain in effect for estates in excess of $675,000, no matter how high the threshold for the FET would become. There is no NJET for assets passing to a surviving spouse. Many individuals in the Ocean County area find that their estates are in excess of the NJET threshold. The good news is that the tax rate for the NJET is relatively low. For example, a $675,000 estate would be taxed at the rate of 3 percent. An estate of $1,000,000 would be taxed at the rate of
4.6 percent. As of the time of this article, there are numerous legislaMarc S. Galella Esq. tive bills in Trenton that would either eliminate the NJET or raise the threshold into the $2-3 million range. However, given the State’s ongoing budget crisis, it is uncertain whether this legislation will be passed. The final death tax is the New Jersey Inheritance Tax. This is a tax imposed upon the beneficiaries of the estate based upon the class of person inheriting. As of the mid1980s, spouses and lineal descendants of the decedent have been totally exempt from the IT. Siblings of the decedents are entitled to a $25,000 exemption and then are taxed at the rate of 11 percent up to $1,000,000 and the tax rate increases after that. All other beneficiaries are taxed at the rate of 15 percent up to $700,000 and 16 percent in excess of that amount. There is no tax on inheritances of less than $500. There is no tax in bequests to recognized charities. The topic of death taxes in New Jersey is complicated and subject to many regulations and exceptions. There are ways to avoid or reduce some of these taxes. This article is intended only as an overview and is not intended to provide tax planning advice. For more information an attorney or accountant experienced with these taxes should be consulted.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Garden State Radiation Oncology
Toms River Radiation Oncologist Dr. Bryan Eggert Fights The Good Fight For Patient Lives And Liberties By Joyce Blay Toms River radiation oncology specialist Dr. Bryan Eggert is not running for public office, but that hasn’t stopped him from advocating for his patients’ rights to government services. “I fight for my patients to get what they deserve,” he tells a visitor to his office. “I advocate for treatment and medical coverage.”
Dr. Eggert is an affiliate physician of Garden State Medical Center, a unique multi-specialty, out-patient medical facility serving the tri-state area. He also fights for the health and well-being of patients engaged in a personal battle with an implacable foe – cancer. For this staunch medical warrior, there is no retreat and no quarter given. “The general outlook for a cancer diagnosis is quite ominous,” Dr. Egger t says. “I think people need to understand and overcome that psychological barrier. A diagnosis of cancer is no longer the end of the world.” Many of Dr. Eggert’s patients are diagnosed with breast cancer. The West f ield, NJ native views their lives and their self-esteem his personal responsibility to rescue. “Isn’t empathy a doctor’s personal responsibility?” he asks rhetorically. “I provide emotional support, empathy, counseling.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of aUGUST 27-September 2
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your overconfidence can backfire. As this week unfolds your business sense and people skills might periodically abandon you. Avoid making impulse purchases and pass up a chance for a passing fling or one night stand. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A steady hand at the rudder is needed. You may need to fight off the urge to do something slightly impetuous. Wait until the second half of the week when your business sense is stronger to make crucial decisions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When inspiration calls, answer the phone. You may gather ideas that can make your work easier or your wallet fatter. The first half of the week might not be the best time to negotiate or to deal with partners. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Fulfill your fantasies by focusing on a friendly face. A companion could seem to have a crystal ball that helps you visualize how to accomplish a worthy goal. Put business and financial ideas into action during the second half of the week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A budget designed for beer might not support a taste for champagne. You may be attracted to fads or quickly fading fashions early in the week. If you are patient you will find a shrewd way to obtain what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The best way to stay within a budget is to limit spending. Money can easily slip through your fingers in the week ahead so avoid impulsive spending sprees. A partner or loved one might do something you did not expect.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you start comparing notes on who has what, a competition may begin. As this week unfolds you can use your people skills to widen your network of supporters. Focus on being true blue, honest and completely sincere. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Mind your own business. You will mind your business best in the last half of the week. Until then remain alert for situations where your cash could be at risk. A loved one could be slightly unpredictable for a day or two. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t let fears get the best of you. In the week to come you must avoid arguments and misunderstandings at all costs. If you focus on being a real friend, even with family members, you can bypass a potential rift. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can only control the part of the world that is under your control. A family member may have a different idea about what constitutes sound financial practices. In the week ahead put a muzzle on your control freak side. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Money is green but doesn’t grow on trees or even bushes. Restrain the urge to buy something on an impulse. A sudden change in a family situation might motivate you to be more businesslike in the week ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Good friends are far and few between. Share your wants and needs with a trusted buddy to put things in perspective. In the week ahead avoid misunderstandings with loved ones. Wait until the dust settles to make your move.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Make This Classic Italian Dinner With Less Than 10 Minutes Of Stove Time By Wolfgang Puck
Even people who love to cook may find themselves shying away from the stove in August. When temperatures soar, and humidity isn’t far behind, who wants to put up with the heat of the kitchen? But you’ve still got to put dinner on the table most evenings. And I don’t consider ready-to-serve, store-bought of fast foods an acceptable option. There are, however, so many options you can cook from scratch in almost no time. The secret is to make a rapid saute, searing small pieces of seafood, poultry or meat over high heat and then turning the glaze of pan juices into a delicious sauce. One of my favorite such sautes is the Italian restaurant classic known as Shrimp Scampi, which became popular in the U.S. after World War II when GIs back from Italy headed to neighborhood trattorias and asked for the shrimp cooked in the style of scampi (the Italian word for shrimp) they’d enjoyed in Europe. Beyond starting with fresh shrimp, just a few basic ingredients add up to a proper version of the dish: a little flour to coat the shrimp and thicken the sauce; olive oil and butter for sauteing them and enriching the sauce; garlic (to which I also like to add some shallots); and white wine and lemon juice to deglaze the pan and contribute a sharp, bright flavor. I also like to add some red pepper flakes to spark up the sauce, plus a garnish of parsley for its own fresh color and taste. Once you’ve completed the small amount of prep work, the entire dish will take you no more than 10 minutes to cook on the stovetop. Before I even start cooking, though, I’ll get some rice steaming so I can soak up every last drop of the sauce. You could also choose to serve the shrimp on top of pasta or mashed potatoes, or simply offer good bread on the side. Once you’ve mastered the basics of my recipe, you can use the techniques involved to prepare all sorts of other dishes. Add your own favorite fresh herbs, such as basil, chives, or oregano, on their own or in combination. Try stirring a spoonful of pesto into the sauce. Throw in a handful of frozen baby peas, small diced red bell pepper or another quick-cooking vegetable. Or, if you like, use a different protein: thin, quick-cooking, bite-sized pieces of boneless chicken or turkey, tender beef, pork or lamb; strips of fish fillet such as salmon or sea bass; or fresh bay or sea scallops. With almost no effort at all, you’ll soon
gain a reputation among your family and friends as having the best Italian kitchen in town! CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI Serves 4 1 1/4 pounds (625 g) large shrimp, about 20 per pound (.5 kg), peeled with tail fins left intact, and deveined Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter 4 large cloves garlic, finely chopped 3 shallots, finely chopped 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry white wine 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 to 3 pinches crushed red pepper flakes 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley 3 cups (750 mL) cooked white or brown rice Pat the shrimp dry. Arrange them on a platter or tray. Season all over with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle evenly with flour and toss to coat. Heat a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and heat until it just starts to smoke. Add the shrimp. Cook until they turn pink on the bottom, about 1 1/2 minutes. Using tongs and working quickly, turn the shrimp over. Cook until uniformly pink, about 1 minute longer. Transfer the shrimp to a plate. Add 1 tablespoon each of the olive oil and the butter to the skillet; stir over medium-high heat until the butter melts. Add the garlic and shallots; saute for 2 minutes, stirring and scraping to dislodge the pan deposits. Add the wine and bring to a boil, stirring and scraping to deglaze, until the sauce begins to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and remaining tablespoons of butter. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Add the shrimp and parsley to the sauce. Toss to warm the shrimp through and coat them with the sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, stir in a little water to thin. Transfer the rice to 4 serving plates, quickly molding it first in lightly oiled ramekins or custard cups if you like. Or simply spoon and mound it. Arrange the shrimp around and on top of the rice on each plate. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp. Serve immediately.
