NEW WATER MAIN ON LEESVILLE

By Catherine Galioto JACKSON – Construction of a new water main for the Leesville area should take about five weeks to complete, the township announced.

Whittendale Excavating will install a new water main on Leesville Road and West Pleasant Grove Road, starting this week.

As a result, drivers should expect delays in this area during 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In addition, a second traffic alert was issued for September 6. This alert is for North New Prospect Road and Bennetts (Leesville - See Page 5)

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – This place honors all veterans.

The place is the vision of two Vietnam Veterans who, when they returned home from their duties, were warned not to wear their uniforms in public. Today they can

freely don their respective veterans’ caps— one Army, the other Marines—and stand outside local Wawas and supermarkets collecting donations for their vision. They greet their fellow Vietnam veterans with a “welcome home,” something none of them

got nearly 50 years ago.

Army veteran Charles Garofano came home May 12, 1967, from Vietnam to McGuire Air Force Base. He was discharged two days later. “I had gone back to (Veterans - See Page 4)

college at nights in the summer of ‘67.

That was very tough, because all the professors at that time had remarks to make, negative remarks to make, about the Vietnam War, and especially the Vietnam veterans. And same with the students and protests and things. I didn’t say anything. I just sat there in the class, did my work, do what I have to do, and that was it. That was probably the toughest thing. …That’s why we’re happy now, when we see most people really respecting veterans. They’re being treated fairly now. We really don’t want to go back to the ‘60s and ‘70s again.”

This place sits on a piece of land between Commodore Boulevard and Jackson Mills Road, overlooking Jackson Mills Lake. It was most famously where Rac’s Hut sat, a popular country western club from 1949 to 1962. It’s now The Jackson Veterans Memorial Garden, the vision Garofano is building with fellow Vietnam veteran, Marine Kenneth Bressi, to honor all those who served and will serve from all over, not just Jackson Township.

“We saw what happened during the Vietnam War. We’re both Vietnam vets.

Charlie came to me with this idea. It was his thought. He felt, and I felt when he came to me, that a memorial for all veterans that served, no matter when, where, or how, this is what it’s for. Everybody of course thinks first of those who gave

the supreme sacrifice, those who have combat wounds that they’re living with and their families.” Bressi said. “You go back to the ‘50s and the ‘60s, we only had peace because there was a strong armed forces. And they had sacrifices during peacetime, traveling around the world with their families every six months.

People got killed in training. People gave up livelihoods. So there were sacrifices given by all veterans. And that’s what this memorial is about, to honor all veterans that served.”

T he t wo men, who fou nded thei r nonprofit back in 2007, fund their vision completely through donations and in-kind contributions, which are tax deductible.

Their first donation for $77.10 came from the first grade class at Switlik Elementary School that year. Since then, they’ve raised more than $300,000, all of which goes directly to the memorial.

That money, and donations of work from local businesses, has enabled them to raise f lag poles, monuments, benches, and irrigation system and pond, and pavers which persons can purchase and have engraved.

Garofano and Bressi, guided by their Board of Trustees, don’t let money sit in the bank. Though they have plans drawn up, they tackle pieces of the project as funds allow. The latest project was the pouring of a concrete footing for a 53ton monument for which they hope to woo corporate sponsors.

“The reason we’re doing it like that

is, one, the granite people want to do it like that, and two, it will show Fortune 500 companies and such that it’s not a dream, or something that’s not going to happen, but it’s already started, and then get the rest of the funds,” Bressi said.

The project is unique, they said, in that it honors everyone who has served.

“Veterans all signed one piece of paper.

We all said we’ll serve up to our death if we have to. So whether a veteran goes to combat or not, they are a veteran. A veteran is a veteran. Our freedoms have been secured, and will stay secured, by veterans,” Bressi said.

“We have spoken to other combat veterans, and they all agreed with us.

‘What do you think of the idea of having a memorial, not for a specific war but for all veterans?’ All those combat veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, all agreed with it.” Garofano added. The pavers speak to that support: all branches, all modern wars, from all over the country.

“They all said the same thing: A veteran is a veteran. They served in combat to protect our freedoms. Others served not knowing if they’d have to go to combat, others served during combat eras and did not go to combat. It doesn’t make a difference. Every veteran that serves his country is serving to protect the freedoms and rights that we have.”

Bressi said.

Bressi said he stops by the memorial several times a day at different times.

While it is the location of the annual Veterans Day service, each November 11 at 11 a.m., the site gets other visitors throughout the year, something that pleases both Bressi and Garofano.

“You come about 8 o’clock in the morning and you’ll see people here having their coffee, Wawa coffee and bagels.

At lunchtime you’ll see people come out here. Usually one kid comes from over there with his dog and they’ll sit here.

“And that Pokémon thing is out here also,” Garofano said.

Bressi smiled. “Yeah, this is a Pokémon stop, but I have nothing to do with that.”

In addition to the car burglaries and stolen items, police response over the weekend included several incidents of crisis intervention as well as drug overdose.

Those included a 21 year-old male who was in distress and contemplating hurting himself. Officers located the male who had attempted purposely walking into traffic until a concerned citizen removed him from the roadway near St. Aloysius. The male was transported to

Around 2 a.m. August 20, officers and first aid responded to a residence in the township on the report of a 29 year old male suffering from an overdose. Narcan, an overdose treatment, was used to counteract the effects of the drug, and the male was transported to an area hospital for further treatment, police said.

In a separate incident on August 21 around 6 p.m., officers responded to a home on the report of an unresponsive 35 year old that had been discovered there. Police said the initial investigation revealed signs of narcotics use prior to the death. The investigation is ongoing.

In all, officers also responded to 12 motor vehicle crashes throughout the township on August 21.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

From The Desk Of Robert Nixon, Jackson Township Council President: Council President Discusses Township Property Issues

JACKSON – Since our last meeting, my fellow C ou n ci l me mb e r s a nd I have had a significant number of conversations with our neighbors and friends to reinforce a simple message that we should not fear the intimidation tactics of a few realtors and LLCs. A number of realtors and real est ate speculators

hiding behind LLCs are attempting to harass some in the town. The council has taken several actions to stand up to them, and residents have done their part to separate myth from reality by reporting the problems that they see.

The township’s no knock registry prohibits realtors and others from entering a property. It now has nearly

2,000 homes registered, 559 new homes since the tax bills hit on July 20.

The administration has also begun enforcing the township’s landlord and property registration law by contacting around 600 owners, including LLCs, that they must get into compliance with the law or face the penalties.

That raises another seri-

ous point. The use of LLCs to buy property in town not only masks the actual owners of a home, but it complicates enforcement when there is a problem at an address. And, more importantly, residents have a right to know who owns the house next door to them.

A faceless corporation should not be allowed to

hide behind lawyer’s offices and P.O. Boxes.

I get that a corporation can own property in the United States. But if you want to own a house here, then become an actual part of the community and sign your real name on the dotted line for all to see.

As a result of problems caused by this practice, I have met with our state

legislators and can confi rm that legislation is currently being drafted that will lift this veil of secrecy and force an LLC to disclose its actual owners before a deed can be recorded.

If an LLC has nothing to hide then they should have no problems listing its actual owner’s names and addresses in compliance with this proposal.

Council President Comments On Social Media Rumors JACKSON – I want to encourage residents to reach out to the mayor and administrator to report their everyday concerns and get the right answers before allowing a social media rumor to cause unnecessary

problems and conflict.

Take the spray park for example. There was a social media rumor making the rounds over the last few days that the township’s recreation department was “kicked off” the park be-

cause it was being used by “other groups.”

I want to make it clear, and the administrator has all the facts to discuss if needed, that this simply never happened.

For starters, the spray

Capitol Comments

park does not permit any “organized groups” from reserving the park and that applies to the recreation programs.

The spray park has been a nice attraction for the people that have used it and

the moms and dads that the council has talked to have told us how much their kids have enjoyed it. In order to keep it enjoyable, the council will be enforcing the rules of conduct, and violations will not be tol-

erated.

As I’ve said before social media is great, except for when it allows for the rapid spread of r umors and downright falsehoods.

If you have a question or concern, just ask.

Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer 12th Legislative District

Schools Losing Federal Funding For Same-Sex Restrooms

NEW JERSEY – Assemblyman Ron Dancer introduced legislation committing the legal assistance of the attorney general to New Jersey schools threated with the loss of federal funding for failing to meet the Obama administration’s new guidelines for transgender students provided the schools are fully compliant with New Jersey’s Law Against

Discrimination.

“We are witnessing an unprecedented overreach by the federal government,” said Dancer (R—Ocean).

“Schools in New Jersey have educated students of all races, religions and genders, without discrimination, for decades. In 2006, New Jersey amended the Law Against Discrimination to specifically provide that

Gender Identity or Expression is now a protected class against discrimination.”

Last month, in a letter to more than 16,000 school districts that receive some form of federal funding, the Federal Department of Education declared that requiring transgender students to use same-sex restroom facilities violates Title IX, the 1972 law prohibiting

discrimination based on sex.

The guidance letter suggests that schools failing to follow the guidelines risk losing federal money.

Under Dancer’s bill (A3976), should the State’s Attorney General find that the policy of a school on the treatment of transgender students is in compliance with New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination, then the state’s

top legal talents from the attorney general’s office will be ready to defend the schools from having its’ federal aid reduced or eliminated.

“This legislation will not only further New Jersey’s public policy on protecting all students against discrimination, but at the same time, recognize and protect the privacy rights of all students as well,” said Dancer. “No

Assemblyman Ronald S. Dancer

student should be accessing same-sex facilities, such as, bath rooms, showers and locker rooms as a thrill seeker for the sole purpose of violating the privacy rights of another student.”

By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – Whether you are stuck on the bridge itself or the traffic caused by it, local officials hope some meetings coordinating police and state efforts will mean fewer headaches if and when the Mathis Route 37 drawbridge gets stuck upright.

A plan would be to better mobilize traffic officers to cone off a lane of the Tunney bridge, the westbound span, to make a lane for eastbound traffic and divert it there instead, said Toms River Councilwoman Maria Maruca.

For severl hours over three consecutive summer weekends, the Mathis bridge was stuck open, halting eastbound traffic until the drawbridge could be lowered for a time ranging from a half hour to several hours. For July 30, the latest incident created traffic backups throughout the entire area, not just the lead-up to the bridge but on Fischer Boulevard and toward Brick as the Mantoloking Bridge became the next way to access the barrier island communities of Ortley Beach, Lavallette, Seaside Heights and Seaside Park.

“We’ve had that bridge get stuck open and it was a parking lot on Route 37, on Fischer Boulevard, all the way into Brick with people trying to get over the Mantoloking Bridge,” Maruca said. “From now on they will notify our department, along with Seaside Heights and Berkeley Township police departments, within 15 minutes of any anticipated problems if they can not lower the span.”

Maruca said progress was made with a contractor who would be called out to position cones to turn the Tunney bridge to host traffic in both directions if need be.

The Tunney span was set up all winter for both directions of traffic, due to the winter closure of the Mathis bridge, as part of a $56.4-million project to repair the bridge’s deck and substructure.

The construction cycle requiring a full closure of the Mathis Bridge will be limited to November 1 to April 30 each year. During each of these construction cycles, summer traffic from approximately May 15 to September 15 will not be affected and all three current lanes on each bridge would be open to traffic.

But in the off-season, the Mathis Bridge closes, and eastbound lanes are diverted onto the Tunney Bridge.

The major NJDOT project will shutter the Mathis span for three consecutive winters as crews completely replace the decking and drawbridge. The bridge will remain its same height, but when the project is complete will have new lanes and paving, an upgraded construction and new mechanism in its drawbridge.

The traffic shift and construction will take place in the off-season months of November through April, and conclude in April 2018.

Normally, there are three eastbound travel lanes on the Mathis Bridge and three westbound lanes on the adjacent Tunney Bridge open, but traffic will compress entirely onto the three lanes of the Tunney Bridge during the next three off-seasons.

One lane will be eastbound, and two will be for westbound traffic.

All six lanes of the two bridges will be open as normal from mid-May through October of

2016 and 2017.

If construction continues as planned, the NJDOT expects the project to be completed by the spring of 2018.

Maruca wants the township to draft a resolution to support its state legislators in moving the project forward faster, so fewer inconveniences would result.

Toms River Police Sposkeperson Ralph Stocco said the last efforts to counter the traffic emergency of the bridge stuck up involved shifting the lanes on the Tunney bridge to allow eastbound traffic there.

“We had 10 to 12 units on scene. I believe this is third time it was stuck. First thing was to detour people off Route 37 away from approaching the bridge. Second was to back all cars off bridge and clear them out so they didn’t have to sit for the duration. Next was to take the three one-way west lanes on the other bridge and divide them so we could move traffic in both directions,” Stocco said. “We coordinated with Berkeley and Seaside police on the eastern side. We also used our park security and auxiliary volunteer officers. The N.J. State DOT arrived for the repairs as well as providing detour barricades and cones.”

Daniel Triana, spokesperson for the DOT, said the Mathis Bridge, which is a double-leaf bascule bridge, had a barrier gate malfunction which prevented the bridge from closing on July 30.

“Due to regular boat traffic there are frequent bridge openings,” Triana said. “The bridge is being inspected frequently while the project is ongoing in an attempt to avoid future malfunctions.”

On August 4, the Ocean County Freeholders released a statement of their own, saying they were “joining the chorus of concerned elected officials that are asking the state to help fix problems and possibly provide an alternative traffic pattern” should the Mathis bridge malfunction again.

“Certainly we understand an aging span like this can have its problems but the bridge has already malfunctioned three times this summer season causing extensive traffic backups and safety concerns throughout many areas of Ocean County,” said Freeholder Joseph Vicari, who serves as liaison to tourism, in a prepared statement. “We need to quickly create an alternate traffic plan in order to keep traffic and emergency vehicles moving on and off that island.”

Vicari said they would join the 10th District Legislators in seeking a solution, in a letter to Department of Transportation Commissioner Richard T. Hammer.

“No one needs to be reminded that this is the heaviest travel period on a summer weekend.

People sat for hours in traffic,” Vicari said. “This is not how we want to present our County to our visitors and our residents.”

Freeholder Virginia E. Haines said the Route 37 bridges both serve as vital arteries in Ocean County moving thousands and thousands of people on and off the northern barrier islands.

“I agree with our 10th District legislators that the breakdowns are ‘unacceptable’ and the DOT needs to fix whatever is causing the malfunction as quickly as possible,” she said. “With tourists doubling our population, keeping this bridge in good working order is imperative to public safety.”

Air National Guard Receives New Commander

GUARANTEED BEST PRICE PAID PERIOD!

– Photo courtesy Master Sgt. Mark C. Olsen, U.S. Air National Guard Brig. Gen. Michael L. Cunniff, left, the Adjutant General of New Jersey, presents Brig. Gen. Kevin J. Keehn, deputy commander New Jersey Air National Guard, the NJANG guidon during a Change of Command Ceremony at the 108th Wing, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst on August 13.

JOINT BASE – The New Jersey Air National Guard has a new commander. Brig. Gen. Kevin J. Keehn, of Bayville, assumed command of the state’s 2,400 Airmen at a ceremony on August 13 at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

He replaced Brig. Gen. Robert C. Bolton, of Rumson, who is retiring.

Keehn, a native of Jackson, enlisted in the active duty Air Force in 1975 as an in-flight refueling operator and joined the New Jersey Air National Guard’s 108th Wing four years later.

In 1984, Keehn was commissioned as a second lieutenant through the Academy of Military Science at McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base in Knoxville, TN. After completing pilot training at Columbus Air Force Base in MS, Keehn rejoined New Jersey’s 108th Wing as a KC-135 pilot.

Keehn went on to hold many key roles in the 108th Wing, including serving as both the 150th and 141st Air Refueling Squadron’s operations director and, ultimately, the wing commander. He also served as the principal advisor to the Adjutant General for plans and requirements on matters pertaining to Military Support to Civilian Authorities.

Keehn has deployed multiple times in support of global contingency operations to include Operations Desert Storm I and II, Northern Watch, Joint Forge, Allied Force, Noble Eagle, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.

As commander of the New Jersey Air National Guard, Keehn will oversee both the 108th Wing and the 177th Fighter Wing, which is based at the Atlantic City Air National Guard base, Egg Harbor Township.

NEW JERSEY – According to the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association, heart disease and stroke remain the first and fifth causes of death in the U.S., yet 80 percent of these diseases are preventable with simple lifest yle modif ications, such as healt hy eat i ng a nd reg ula r exercise.

“Summer is the perfect time to enjoy hear t-healthy seasonal produce and to add physical activity to your daily routine,” said Aliya Frances Browne, board certified clinical cardiologist and spokesperson for the American Heart Association. “But remember to take precautions when spending time by the water and when exercising in the heat.”

Here are the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association’s top 10 tips for a heart-healthy summer: 1. Learn Hands-Only CPR. Days by the pool and ocean can be fun, but always be prepared for the unthinkable.

Hands-Only CPR has only two steps:

Summer Tips For A Healthy Heart call 9-1-1 and press hard and fast in the center of the chest. View a short video by visiting heart.org/handsonlycpr.

2. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of f luids (preferably water) throughout the day and before, during and after working out to maintain salt-water balance. Avoid caffeine and alcoholic beverages.

3. Exercise smarter, not harder. Plan workouts for the cooler parts of the day – either early morning or early evening when the sun’s radiation is at its least.

If exercising during the hottest part of the day or in high humidity, decrease exercise intensity and duration. And remember, great workouts include indoor activities like going to a gym or walking at the mall.

4. D ress t he pa r t. Wea r m i n i mal amounts of clothing that allow for quick evaporation of sweat. Choose lightweight, light-colored and breathable fabrics, such as cotton.

5. Choose fresh veggies. Take advantage of fresh seasonal veggies from the

Garden State. Load up skewers with mush rooms, peppers, cher r y tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash or other veggies. Spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray and grill until lightly blackened.

6. Pack to play. When taking a family road trip, plan to incorporate regular physical activity into the daily routine.

Pack a football, soccer ball, Frisbee or paddle ball so that the family can be physically active while away.

7. Enjoy fruit pops. Homemade freezer pops are an easy, fun treat for kids to make and enjoy. Mash up fruit like peaches, grapes, berries or watermelon and put into paper cups, insert a popsicle stick and freeze overnight.

8. Use sunscreen. Wear wide-brimmed hats, always apply water-resistant sunscreen with at least SPF 15 and reapply sunscreen every two hours to protect against the sunlight.

9. Head indoors. When the heat gets unbearable, try indoor activities at the

local YMCA or rec center like basketball, swimming, yoga or racquetball.

10. Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

The symptoms of heat exhaustion include: headaches , heavy sweating, cold, moist skin, chills, dizziness or fainting, a weak and rapid pulse, muscle cramps, fast, shallow breathing and nausea, vomiting or both. If experiencing these symptoms, move to a cooler place, stop exercising and cool down immediately by dousing yourself with cold water and rehydrating. Medical attention may be required.

Sy mptoms of heat st roke include: warm, dry skin with no sweating, strong and rapid pulse, confusion and/or unconsciousness, high fever, throbbing headaches and nausea, vomiting or both.

If experiencing these symptoms, seek medical attention right away.

36 Foods That Contain Aspirin

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

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.

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 fi nd 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 Marc S. Galella Esq. numerous legislative 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 fi nal 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 mid-1980s, 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.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

Rutgers Master Gardeners Donate Produce To Local Charities OCEAN COU NTY – The Rutgers Master Gardeners of Ocean County volunteers, in conjunction with the Farmers Against Hunger organization, pick the imperfect produce grown during the local farmers’ growing season.

Farmers Against Hunger advertises when the produce is ready to be gathered by volunteers, who then come out to gather, clean and then donate the produce to local organizations, such as Catholic Charities, Peoples Pantry, Visitation Relief Center and various church soup kitchens and local food banks.

The group also runs a garden in which produce is grown, harvested and donated to local food banks and charities. This garden is under the chair of Noreen Baris, Kathy D’Antonio, Rick Marine and Sue Priolo. These chairs also organize the pickings with Farmers Against Hunger.

Last year, harvested, gleaned and distributed over 9,000 pounds of produce such as corn, cucumbers, eggplant, apples, butternut squash, cheese pumpkins, sweet potatoes, white potatoes and cabbage to local Ocean County food banks.

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 suggest 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.

Celebrate National Dog Day At OC Animal Facilities

OCEAN COUNTY – “There’s no better way to celebrate National Dog Day than adopting a puppy or a dog from one of the two Ocean County Animal Facilities,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

“We continue to discourage people from buying dogs from puppy mills and backyard breeders when shelters are full of wonderful dogs available for adoption.”

Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department public health coordinator, said, “All the dogs available for adoption at the Ocean County Animal Facilities are spayed/ neutered, micro-chipped, receive a behavioral evaluation and are up to date on age appropriate vaccines.”

People that adopt a dog from one of the animal facilities on National Dog Day will receive a free “Goodie Bag” filled with treats for their new canine companion.

The Northern Ocean County Animal Facility

is located at 615 Freemont Avenue in Jackson and the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility is located at 360 Haywood Road, Manahawkin.

Both facilities are open to the public daily from 1 to 4 p.m. and 1 to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

“Adopting a pet from one of our facilities can be one of the most rewarding and compassionate things you can do if you’re an animal lover,” said Brian Lippai, shelter manager.

“These pets are full of love, eager to please and are now just waiting for a second chance in finding that permanent loving home.”

Call the Northern Ocean County Animal Facility at 732-657-8086 and the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility at 609-9780127 for more information about pets available for adoption and more about National Dog Day. Visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org for more information.

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 de serve,” 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. A patient diagnosed with cancer that comes here for radiological treatment will

In addition to his professional responsibilities, Dr. Eggert also may arrange for delivery of social services, such as Meals On Wheels, or service calls from the Visiting Nurse Association.

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 mid-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.
