Cutting The Ribbon On Kent Road

–Photo courtesy Howell Township HOWELL – Township officials and road department personnel helped cut the ribbon to reopen Kent Road recently, after more than a month of closure for the road’s reconstruction and realignment. The project totaled $600,000 to repair 2,100 feet of road, add 4,400 feet of sidewalk and install two super elevated curves.

Police Discover Swastikas At Echo Lake

By Catherine Galioto HOWELL – A township park often visited by members of the Jewish community is the site of a bias incident, with vandalism such as swastikas spray painted in locations in the park. Howell Township Police are seeking the public’s help in these incidents, which were reported August 29. That day, a concerned citizen called police and provided photos of the vandalism, police said. “It appears the vandalism happened sometime within the past week,” said Detective Sergeant Christian Antunez, in a police statement. Police responded, and found nine swastikas spray painted in white, on benches, and on the backboards of the horseshoe pit area. “The horseshoes area is approximately three hundred feet from the roadway and parking lot making the vandalism partially visible but hard to distinguish from the road/parking lot,” said Antunez. The park, located at 1205 Maxim Southard Rd. attracts many people every day and is often visited by members of the Jewish community, said the detective sergeant. Also part of the vandalism were random, non-distinct spray painting on the gazebo floor. The Howell Township Department of Public Works painted over the vandalism that same day to remove it.

By Bob Vosseller and Catherine Galioto With a push to open additional stores in the area, Quick Chek has recently demolished a vacant bank, leveled land and bought out homeowners. The convenience store chain has opened five stores to date in its current fiscal year, bringing the total number of stores to 144, and Quick Chek has three more stores planned for Ocean County.

Those sites include the spot of the former Crown bank at Route 70 and Brick Boulevard in Brick, demolished about a month ago. There’s also several parcels along the intersection of Fischer Boulevard, Route 37 and Adams Avenue in Toms River, for a store there. The lots where Quick Chek will go were the old candle shop, a furniture store and several single-family homes, which

now sit behind chain link fence awaiting demolition. With multiple planned or just-opened locations in the Ocean-Monmouth county area, Quick Chek’s continued growth and expansion isn’t county specific but part of the company’s stategy to fill a need for quality food and fuel at value prices, said Russ Mensch, of the public relations firm representing Quick Chek.

Founded in 1967, Quick Chek is privately held. Its first location was Dunellen. The convenience store recently opened stores in Howell, Lakewood and Beachwood. The latest plan calls for expansion to Toms River, Brick and Jackson. The chain follows a similar business model to Wawa with electronic kiosks to order fully-customizable subs, salads, soups, sandwiches (Expansion - See Page 4)

and beverages plus dairy and grocery items. Mensch said that each store creates 40 to 50 new local jobs and generates approximately $1 million in tax revenues. The three new locations – Lakewood, Howell and Beachwood – have created 135 jobs including 24 management positions and will generate approximately $3 million in tax revenue. “That is a positive impact on the local economies,” he said. The latest store to open is a new Beachwood store, the fi rst to offer pharmacy and fuel. The site opened July 18 and employs 45 team members. The previous location just south on Route 9 was closed prior to the opening of the new facility. A Berkeley Quick Chek farther south on Route 9 has the store plus gas station model. Quick Chek opened 34 stores in the past eight years, including five stores to date in their current fiscal year, bringing the total number of stores to 144. Coming Soon Under “Coming Soon” section of Quick Chek’s website, a Jackson location, 281 South New Prospect Road, is slated for a Fall 2016 opening. Jackson also has a Quick Chek at Leesville Road. The South New Prospect Road store, which will also have a gas station, is nearing completion with the framework of the store, its signage and a hiring notification sign in place. Also under “Coming Soon” is the Brick location, Route 70, for a summer 2017

opening date, with land there recently cleared and construction equipment and infrastructure materials on site. Ten more locations are listed as opening in New Jersey between fall 2016 and summer 2017, at Quick Chek.com/ ComingSoon. The Toms River site at the Fischer-Adams-Route 37 location is not yet listed as a “Coming Soon” store. Township Planner Jay Lynch said the northeast corner of Route 37 and Fischer Blvd is now owned by Quick Chek, who gained site plan approvals for a store and gas station there. “It was approved by the Planning Board a while back and they resubmitted for a plan amendment in order to increase the size of the site,” said Lynch, adding the area enclosed by the chain link fence includes the entire site of the proposed Quick Chek. “The site plan has been approved by the Planning Board and the applicant is in the process of addressing the conditions of approval.” Recently Opened Patrick Jeffery, the Engineer of Record for Beachwood Borough, said the new Quick Check store there on Route 9 is approximately 6,520 square feet and includes outdoor seating areas for approximately 16 people. The new store also includes four fueling islands with two dispensers per island. Each dispenser provides fuel pumps on each side. In total, approximately 16 vehicles can be refueled at one time. The site also contains vacuums and air compressors for vehicle maintenance.

Jeffery said the site design contains provisions for the management of stormwater including a basin with an oil/water separator to minimize any spilled petroleum product from entering the basin. There are sidewalks primarily along the Route 9 frontage. “Route 9 was widened to provide for turning lanes and a shoulder to improve traffic flow into and out of the site along Route 9. A permit from NJDOT was required for this work,” Jeffery said. Several overnights of road construction detoured Route 9 traffic through the adjacent grid of residential streets in Beachwood. Jeffery said the application before the borough’s Land Use Board received multiple approvals as the property was located within multiple zoning districts and a resolution was required that permitted the zoning provisions to be applicable to the entire site. One resolution provided conditional use approval for the service station while another provided preliminary and fi nal major site plan approval with variances and provided amended preliminary and fi nal site plan approval. For the Howell location, which also opened this year, the land was cleared to also make way for a CVS and an Investors Bank. New sidewalks and a stormwater basin were part of the improvements to the site. Quick Chek Execs In recent statements, several executives at Quick Chek explained their business model has changed from the smaller, strip-mall

storefronts to standalone spots that hope to become the “go-to place” for customers. “Everything we do is to satisfy our customers, and our business has evolved as our customer’s needs have evolved…from being the go-to place for fill in groceries, milk, bread, and cold cuts in our market to our position today as the leading fresh convenience food market in the NY/NJ Metro area,” said John Schaninger, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Quick Chek. One of its competitors, Wawa, has grown to 720 locations across an area larger than where Quick Chek covers, into Florida, Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Wawa continues to renovate its older stores with upgraded features, and build new locations in Edison, Hamilton and Somerdale in New Jersey. 7-11 has thousands of locations, most of which are a convenience store and not added gas station. There are 1,200 7-11s in California alone, in comparison to its competitors’ numbers. “Our mission is to be a ‘Great Place to Work, a Great Place to Shop, and a Great Place to Invest,’’ said Quick Chek chief executive officer Dean Durling, whose family-owned company has locations throughout New Jersey, New York’s Hudson Valley and Long Island. In addition to the above locations, other nearby Quick Cheks include the convenience storefront in Point Pleasant, gas and convenience stores in Manchester, and more locations in Farmingdale and Wall. No locations exist south of the Bayville one, at Central Parkway and Route 9.

Osprey Numbers Soar Amid Volunteer Efforts

By Judy Smestad-Nunn The North American Osprey population has rebounded from the days when the number of nests sank to 50 in New Jersey, down from about 500 nests in 1974. The osprey population plummeted then due to DDT pesticide in the food chain and a loss of their habitat due to development along the shore. But that was 40 years ago, and after DDT was banned in 1968, and ospreys were listed as endangered in 1974, their population began to recover through the efforts of biologists who relocated the eggs and chicks and installed manmade nesting platforms. Now there are an estimated 100 pairs of ospreys that nest on Barnegat Bay alone, said Ben Wurst, habitat program manager for Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ. He and a small group of volunteers have been monitoring the osprey population here and maintaining the nesting platforms since 2004, when there were only 20 active nests and 34 surviving young ospreys on Barnegat Bay. Most of the Barnegat Bay osprey nests have been built on the man-made platforms that can be seen from boats, which biologists and volunteers first installed in the 1970s, he said. Wurst and his volunteers have installed 150 nesting platforms in the past 12 years, many on Barnegat Bay, he said. Ospreys are highly migratory and they spend their winters in South America, with the largest concentration in Columbia,

Ecuador and Brazil, which biologists have learned through a federal USGS bird banding program and aerial studies. The females migrate south first, usually sometime in August, and in September the males and juveniles leave New Jersey, Wurst said. “Cold temperatures and ice prevents them from getting food, so maybe it’s because of global warming, but every year some birds stick around longer and longer because there is no pressure to leave,” he said from his field office in Tuckahoe. Now, platforms and nests can be found in such places as Cattus Island in Toms River, the back bays of Brick, near the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences waterfront, at the Manasquan Reservoir in Howell and Bay Boulevard along Bayville. There’s also an “Osprey Cam” that the Friends of Island Beach State Park have trained on a platform there, for live streaming. Ospreys have a high level of fidelity, and pairs mate for life, although they do not spent their winters together. The male returns to New Jersey first--usually in mid- to late- March, and when the female returns the male performs a “sky dance,” or a mating ritual where he flies above their nest in a courtship display, Wurst said. “He might carry a fish, which shows a successful hunt, or he might be holding onto nesting material; it’s interesting to observe this behavior, it’s unique to see,” he said. The male also emits a high whistle-like

call during mating season when the ospreys spruce up their existing nests, making they larger and thicker. The female gestates from late April to early May, and she does about 70 percent of the incubation during the average 36-day brooding period, Wurst said. From April until August the female hardly leaves the nest at all. The female Osprey can produce three to four eggs a year with an average of two surviving per nest, he said. “The male has a specific duty as the provider. He does 100 percent of the foraging,” Wurst said. “After a successful hunt he comes back to the nest. He holds the fish, head first, then he feeds himself the head, and after he’s had his fill there is an incubation exchange and the female takes a break to eat, preen, and maybe stretch her wings.” Once the young are able to fly in August, the females get to rest and leave the nest to forage. The juveniles are still somewhat dependent on the adults for food until they can forage on their own which they learn to do before migrating south in September. The juveniles use geo-magnetic fields to fi nd their way to South America, where they spend two years before returning to New Jersey. When they return in 2018, it will be to look for foraging areas but they won’t breed that year, Wurst said. “They’re setting the stage for future breeding in the same watershed, but not necessarily next door to their parents,” he said. Project RedBand, started in 2014, is fo-

cused on banding junior ospreys that nest in the Barnegat Bay watershed in order to learn about their dispersal, foraging habits, site fidelity, migration routes and their life span. Wurst said another goal of the project is to engage the public in osprey management and conservation along the Jersey Shore. This is the fi rst year thatone of the 63 red-banded birds from 2014 have returned, and Wurst urges the public to report the alpha-numeric code on the band (readable with binoculars), and when and where the bird was seen. To report a red-banded osprey visit conservewildlifenj.org/redband. The osprey diet varies throughout the season, but 99 percent of their diet is live fish--any type of fish--but they will occasionally eat a small rodent or bird, he said. They can live for 20 years, and they can reproduce every year, but they have a high mortality rate, primarily before they leave the nest. If the nest is in a salt marsh, raccoons and mink can climb into the osprey nest and eat the eggs or the very young--as do aerial predators, such as the Great Horned Owl, Bald Eagle, gulls and crows. If the adult male is gone because of an injury, the female has to abandon the nest, leaving the eggs exposed. “Another threat to adult ospreys is electrocution; there is utility infrastructure everywhere that is not designed to be bird-friendly, and the birds don’t know it (Osprey - See Page 17)

We Love Them To Death Today’s highest grossing box office releases are about animals. They include: “Finding Dory,” “The Jungle Book,” “Zootopia,” “The Secret Life of Pets,” and “Kung Fu Panda.” Nearly half of our households include a dog and nearly 40 percent have a cat. Two thirds of us view them as family members and cherish them accordingly. We love our animals to death. Literally... For every cat, dog or other animal that we love and cherish, we put 500 through months of caging, crowding, deprivation, mutilation, and starvation, before we take their very lives, cut their dead bodies into little pieces, and shove

those into our mouths. And that doesn’t even include Dory and billions of her little friends, because we haven’t figured out how to count individual aquatic animals that we grind up for human or animal feed. The good news is that we have a choice every time we visit a restaurant or grocery store. We can choose live foods - yellow and green vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, grains, as well as a rich variety of grain and nut-based meats and dairy products. Or, we can choose dead animals, their body parts, and other products of their abuse. What will it be? Henry Traconi Toms River

L�� T� T�� E�� Dangerous Language

Once again Donald Trump has put his foot in his mouth causing voters, even Republicans, to seriously question whether it is just a businessman not accustomed to political speech, as his supporters argue, or a reflection of a serious, maybe even mental, character flaw that clearly disqualifies him for the presidency. While I do not believe he really meant to encourage the assassination of Hillary Clinton when he referred to what Second Amendment supporters might do if she is President, his words are again inflammatory and dangerous. We live in turbulent times with many angry, often disturbed, people who have more guns than any person needs for legitimate self defense. In their warped minds they could conceivably interpret his remarks as license to actually kill Clinton before she can appoint Supreme Court justices that would be contrary to their interests. It also wrongly suggests that all advocates of the Second Amendment are prone to possible violence. For those who argue we need a good businessman, despite his multiple bankruptcies and law suits against him, or a tough leader in our troubled world, his negatives are greater as they threaten our American way of life that still stresses civility and dignity for all people. Seymour Brotman Manchester

Letter Was Biased The recent “Don’t Vote For Tr ump” letter (August 20 issue) really highlights the reason the public simply doesn’t trust politicians anymore, as the writer of this blatantly dishonest piece (a former Toms River Mayor) presents a totally biased viewpoint, without any attempt at checking out the facts -- quite easy to do with today’s internet sources. While we all certainly honor and respect a Gold Star mother and the unforgettable heroism of her son, blindly chastising Mr. Trump for his comments after Mr. K han’s appearance at the Democratic convention is really out there! Didn’t he eve n b ot he r t o rev iew Mr. Khan’s background at all? Again, we all respect the great sacrifice of Mr. Khan’s son several years ago along with the many American heroes of that war. However, Mr. Khan (the “guest” speaker at the Democratic convention) has an interesting “resume:” An immigration attorney specializing in obt aining American Visas for wealthy mid-east clients; co-founder of “Journal of Shiria Law” in the U.S.; worked for the law firm which represents Saudi Arabian Government in affairs with the U.S. It is simply shocking that a former mayor of a wellknown N.J. town could

Editorial Make Yourself Heard

The people of Howell face an array of issues – taxes, traffic, the environment, education. Issues that will impact Howell for years to come. And no doubt you have something to say about them. So what can you do to ensure that your voice gets heard? First and foremost, town council meetings. Let your officials know you’re

watching. You can also write letters to the editor to papers like ours. People follow their local papers and by writing about important issues, you spark vital discussion on topics that affect your life. Don’t allow yours to be a lone voice in the wilderness. Make yourself heard.

write such a one-sided, un-researched, biased letter. You would think that after years in the political arena, he would recognize a political “plant” for what it is! Doesn’t take a genius to see this one! Such as shame -- again, a prime example why no-one trusts politicians anymore. Tom Flynn Barnegat

Yes, Vote For Trump The author of “Don’t Vot e for Tr u mp” (Aug ust 20) is w rong. Mr. Trump did not disparage M rs. K a h n! He made an observation that she never said a word, which is a culturally ingrained instinct. In fact, didn’t anyone observe that Mrs. Kahn never, but never, looked directly into the camera? Capt ai n K a h n m ig ht be alive today, if vetting was in practice du r ing his time. And have we forgotten the 3,000 Americans lost on 9/11? The words out of Donald Trump’s mouth are nothing compared to the lies out of Hillary Clinton’s mouth. Also, isn’t Hillary Clinton’s reckless handling of E -m ai ls p ot e nt ial ly making her a target for black mail? Someone in cyb e r s p a c e s u r ely h a s those e-mails. M. Pellicano Manchester Twp.

Don’t Vote For Hillary

In response to the August 20 letter writer of “Don’t Vote For Trump,” I can’t believe how one-sided you are. If you have so much compassion, I ask you as a mother, where is your rage, and what opinion do you have about Hillary Clinton lying to the mothers of Benghazi right to their face in front of their deceased son’s coffins. Yes, I have compassion, empathy, and my prayers and support go to all parents of those serving our count r y and those who died for our count r y. I know first-hand what war can do, I am the daughter of a WWII veteran who suffered PTSD all his life. G row i ng up w it h t hat, I thin k it’s disgracef ul for anyone to pick and choose who should get the respect of those defending our beautiful country for political reasons. That being said, that’s what t he let t e r “Don’t Vote For Trump” is, it’s political. Happy to say, I am voting for Donald Tr ump so we can make A mer ica g reat again. What a way to honor those fallen and those still in battle. H i l la r y Cl i nt on i s a danger to America and Americans. She doesn’t know fact from fiction. She’s a pathological liar and I say don’t vote for Hillary. Angela Dipilla Manchester

From The Desk Of Congressman Chris Smith: Smith’s Sudan Trip Comes With Zero-Tolerance Policy

Congressman Chris Smith NEW JERSEY -- Just back from South Sudan, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), Chairman of the House A f r ic a Su b c om m it t e e, obtained a personal pledge f rom South Sudanese President Salva Kiir and a separate commitment f rom Defense Minister Kuol Manyang Juu k to is s ue a z e ro -t ole r a nce policy for all armed forces against rape, sexual violence and human trafficking. The commitment came in meetings with Kiir and Smith on August 27 in Kiir’s presidential compound in Juba, and in a separate meeting with the defense minister and his top generals. Per vasive sexual violence by South Sudanese soldiers recently victimized American and international aid workers at the Terrain compound in the capital city of Juba. One

of the rape victims—who asked for anonymity—is from Smith’s congressional district. “All victims of violence deser ve protection and assistance,” said Smith, author of four laws designed to combat human t r af f ick i ng— i nclud i ng the landmark Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, which, among other things, created the Office to Monitor and Combat Traf f ick i ng i n Persons at the U.S. State Department, mandates the annual Trafficking in Persons report and provides for up to life imprisonment for human trafficking. “Although South Sudanese law currently prohibits rape and sexual abuse, a presidential decree on zero-tolerance for such abuse would send a strong message that such violations will carry immediate consequences—arrest and jail—whether committed by gover nment soldiers or security forces, armed opposition fighters, militias allied to the gove r n me nt or opp osit ion or rival ethnic forces,” Smith explained. “The ze-

ro-tolerance decree can be issued and implemented immediately—as promised by the president himself—and could reduce pervasive sexual violence against women and children. These war crimes must stop and the perpetrators held to account.” Smith also pressed for unfettered access of hum a n it a r ia n worke r s t o the estimated 4.8 million people in South Sudan – well over one-third of the population – who are facing severe food shortages. The most recent State Department human rights repor t, as well as similar repor ts from internat ional orga n i z at ion s and South Sudanese civil society groups, cites widespread human rights violations throughout the count r y. These include ethnic-based extrajudicial killings, mass displacement of civilians, rape and sexual slaver y th rough u n r e s t r a i n e d t r a f f icking in persons, arbitrary ar rests and detentions, kidnappings and the recruitment and use of child soldiers. Smith praised the U.S.

Emba s s y t e a m he a d e d by A mba s s a dor Mol ly McPhee for their efforts to thwart famine and bloodshed. A U.N. resolution on South Sudan considered this month includes an arms embargo; it would be voted on by mid-Sep-

tember with a separate subsequent vote on the timetable for implementation. While in South Sudan, Smith had meetings with Ellen Loej, head of the U.N. Mission i n South Sudan, Juba Archbishop Pau l i no L oko d u L oro,

Public Hearing For $13M Sewer Project

HOWELL – A $13.95 million project to install sewers in Freewood Acres and along Route 9 will have its public hearing September 12, as part of approvals with the state Department of Environmental Protection. The Township will host the public hearing on September 12 at 5 p.m. to hear public comments on the Freewood Acres and Route 9 North Sanitary Sewer Extension Project. Township officials have said previously that this project will address ongoing issues that involve failing septic systems and sewer problems in those areas, but the project

will provide a new sanitary sewer system for most of Freewood Acres, portions of Route 9 and some Township properties associated with the Land O’Pines School.

BlueClaws, Phillies Extend Player Development Contract

LAKEWOOD – The BlueClaws and Philadelphia Phillies secured a four-year extension of their Player Development Contract. With the four-year extension, the BlueClaws will remain the South Atlantic League affiliate of the Phillies through at least the 2020 season. “The Phillies are pleased to extend our partnership with the BlueClaws,” said Steve

Noworyta, Phillies Assistant Director of Player Development. “This is a top-class facility with outstanding fan support in a great community. It’s a tremendous place for our players to continue their development and we’re excited to continue the relationship.” Noworyta and BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow formally signed the papers on the field in a ceremony pri-

or to the August 23 BlueClaws game. The BlueClaws have been a Phillies affiliate since their 2001 inception. In that time, the team has won three South Atlantic League championships (2006, 2009, & 2010) and, in 2010, became the first South Atlantic League team since 1993-1994 (Savannah) to win back-to-back league titles. This year, the BlueClaws are in first

place with less than t wo weeks remaining in the season as Lakewood tries to get back to the post-season for fourth time in franchise histor y. Sixty-nine former BlueClaws have gone on to play in the Major Leagues, with 42 of those players debuting with the Phillies. Ryan Howard was the first to debut, on September 1, 2004, with his 2002 BlueClaws teammate Gavin Floyd debuting two days later. Current Phillies that played with Lakewood include Howard (2002), Carlos Ruiz (2001), Maikel Franco (2011-12), Cameron Rupp (2011), Severino Gonzalez (2013), Hector Neris (2011), Freddy Galvis (2008), and Aaron Altherr (2011-12). Former Phillies first-round pick JP Crawford, now with Triple-A Lehigh Valley and considered one of the top prospects in all of baseball, played for Lakewood in 2013-14, while Double-A Reading teammates Dylan Cozens (2015) and Rhys Hoskins (2014), who are 1-2 in Minor League Baseball in home runs, are both former BlueClaws as well. “The partnership between the BlueClaws and Phillies has been tremendous for the BlueClaws and the entire Jersey Shore. Many future Phillies and big league stars have played here, and we look forward to the next great wave of future Phillies over the next several seasons,” said BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow. “We are excited to extend our agreement with the Phillies.” Ryan Howard (#29) and Cole Hamels (#19) are the only two former BlueClaws players to have their numbers retired by the team. The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment. They have led the South Atlantic League and New Jersey in attendance in all 15 years of existence.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

“Consumer Reports” Is Frightening People Needlessly By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

FREEHOLD YOGA CENTER’S 17TH ANNUAL, 200-HOUR TEACHER TRAINING COURSE

BEGINS OCTOBER 4TH!

Our program follows in the tradition of Swami Sivananda and Swami Vishnudevananda and the following 5 POINTS OF YOGA: Asana - Proper Exercise • Pranayama - Proper Breathing Savasana - Deep Relaxation • Proper Diet - Vegetarian Vedanta - Meditation & Mantra See our Website Teacher Training Page for more detailed course information

30 YEARS IN THE SAME LOCATION!

I was aghast after reading the Consumer Reports post that just revealed 15 herbs which they feel are dangerous for you. Their headline reads “15 Supplement Ingredients to Always Avoid” and goes on to say “These supplement ingredients can cause organ damage, cardiac arrest and cancer.” Man, that just scares the bejeebers out of you, doesn’t it? Success – that is their goal. It’s intent is to spark anxiety about natural remedies. It is so superbly crafted that it will terrify the public into the arms of white coat professionals who can prescribe medications, which are obviously safer because they are FDA-approved. (Yes, I’m being sarcastic again, don’t you know me by now?!) As an example, Consumer Reports includes green tea (Camellia sinensis) on their “dangerous” list because it is found in weight loss aids. They say green tea powder may cause you to experience “dizziness, ringing in the ears…glaucoma…elevated blood pressure/heart rate, liver damage and possibly death.” That is green tea, you realize right? I’m not suggesting that these potentials don’t exist, or that you don’t have to worry about side effects at all (because you do), but I’m convinced that the weight loss medications are more dangerous. Maybe that’s just me, I’m a pharmacist remember? I have access to those long and boring package inserts that come folded up and when you unfold them and read them, you’ll need a magnifying

glass to read all the potential disasters that could occur. So they’re telling you that green tea is dangerous, and they list “possibly death” as a risk. Nowhere in this article did they mention that in 1997, one of the most horrific drug recalls ever to occur happened with weight loss drugs. Google “fen-phen” and you’ll learn that fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were yanked because they destroyed heart valves and led to strokes and heart attacks. This problem unfortunately could occur in people years after stopping. Yet, they list green tea as causing “possibly death.” Comfrey root was another one on their list where the benefits claimed were “relieves cough” and “treats cancer.” Comfrey has been used for centuries, and is considered very safe by herbalists, yet Consumer Reports posted “possibly death” for herb too. Chemotherapy is the medication alternative to treating cancer. If you are interested in the 15 supplements they named, and you’d like to know the drug(s) that could be used instead of these “dangerous ingredients,” sign up for my newsletter and I’ll send an brilliant piece I wrote that includes medications which work in place of 15 herbs so you can see what is supposedly safer. No matter how bad herbal ingredients are painted with scary warnings that are scrounged up, some medications carry the same exact warnings. It’s not my opinion, a quick look at their patient package insert will prove it.

CentraState Earns ACR Lung Cancer Screening Center Designation

FREEHOLD – The American College of Radiology, a national organization that sets quality standards for imaging technologies, has designated CentraState a Lung Cancer Screening Center. The ACR Lung Cancer Screening Center designation is a voluntary prog ram that recog nizes facilities that are committed to practicing safe, effective diagnostic care for individuals at the highest risk for lung cancer. The Comprehensive Lung Care Program at CentraState, in conjunction with Freehold MR Assoc., offers low-dose CT screenings, using state-of-the-art 64 and 128 slice CT scans, to those individuals considered at high risk for developing lung cancer and who meet certain criteria. For more information about the lung cancer screenings offered at CentraState, call 855- 411-CANCER or visit c e n t r a s t a t e .c o m / l u n g s c r e e n i n g. CentraState received this elite distinction because it is accredited by the ACR in computed tomography in the chest module, as well as successfully underwent a rigorous, third-party peer review and assessment of its lung cancer screening protocol and infrastructure. CentraState also demon-

strated that it has procedures in place for follow-up patient care, including counseling and smoking cessation programs. “We are honored to have been given this designation by the ACR,” said Barry Asch, assistant vice president, Cancer Care Services, CentraState Healthcare System. “It represents independent verification by a nationally recognized standards-setting organization of our commitment to providing our patients the best possible cancer care—from diagnostics to treatment.” The Comprehensive Lung Care Program housed within the Statesir Cancer Center at CentraState Medical Center is accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer and is staffed by an outstanding group of diagnostic radiologists and board-certified physicians specializing in thoracic surgery, pulmonology, radiation oncology and medical oncology, and a lung navigator/designated nurse practitioner for the lung program. For more information on the lung cancer screenings, the Lung Care Program and all of the cancer services provided at The Statesir Cancer Center at CentraState, call 855-411-CANCER or visit centrastate. com/cancercenter.

Dear Joel I was hoping that you can help me with a sensitive issue. My mother is 88 years old and lives in an adult community in Lakewood. All of her life she has been a wonderful cook and an amazing baker as well. My mother has never done any of her cooking or baking from recipe books or anything that is handwritten. It has all been in her head and done by heart. I want to take these recipes and write them down, so when she is gone I can keep her delicious foods alive and pass it on for generations. I don’t want to hurt her feelings but am concerned that she will think that I am being insensitive.

Answer I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself when reading your question. Your mom is 88 years old and realizes, as do we all, that one day she will pass on. You are paying her a very big compliment

yet are afraid of hurting her feelings. Tell her exactly what you want and I am 100 percent sure she would love to share with you all that she can. You can also go to her home once a week and observe her cooking and write it down while watching. I would then transfer it to a computer fi le. There is also recipe software that is available at the major retailers. May I also suggest going to Carole Walter baking school online. It is a fantastic web site that is inexpensive and chock full of recipes. Have fun! I enjoyed your email. Joel Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

Correction

In the August 27 Howell Times article, “Diocese Discusses Merging Two Parishes,” a speaker was misidentified. Msgr. Leonard F. Troiano was named as leading the meeting, but the monsignor leads the Diocese in planning for

its Cohorts. It was Mike Hintenach, a trustee and member of the core group for St. Monica’s, who lead the meeting. The Howell Times regrets the error and any inconvenience it may have caused.

can hurt them,” Wurst said. Good Luck Point in Berkeley is the site of a former telecommunications facility and the location of some 16 osprey nests that the birds have built on some of the old telephone poles. U.S. Fish and Wildlife is planning to remove the poles, which number about 50, Wurst said, and while the details have not been worked out, the contractor working for the federal government would either leave enough poles for the osprey nests or build new nesting platforms. The nesting material used by the ospreys also contributes to their mortality rate--material like ribbons from released balloons, plastic, and marine debris that can cause the birds to become entangled in their nests, Wurst said. Part of what Wurst and the volunteers do is clean up the decomposing material in the nests and maintain them so they don’t get blown off in the winter, he said. Nests can weigh up to 200 pounds and decay quickly in the salt air. “Most of our work with ospreys actually

occurs when they are not here, so starting now we are beginning to schedule repairs to nesting platforms throughout the state,” he said. “No one else is doing it–except for some areas or parks like Cattus Island who maintain their platforms and record activity at them in the summer months– we’re going out and making sure these nests are good.” Volunteers are an integral part of helping to maintain the platforms which are critical to the long-term survival of ospreys in New Jersey. For more information on symbolically adopting an osprey nesting platform visit conservewildlifenj.org/protecting/ projects/osprey/adopt-a-platform/. Conserve Wildlife Foundation is a non-profit organization that works in a close partnership with the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program. “One of the problems is our lack of funding, because we’d like to be able to construct more osprey platforms,” Wurst said. “It is a challenge to raise the money to carry out the work.” To donate, volunteer, or for more information visit conservewildlifenj.org/ protecting/projects/osprey/.

Early Voters Can Skip The Election Day Line

MON MOUTH COU NT Y – Cou nty Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon is reminding residents that early voting is possible in Monmouth County. Early voters can vote by mail, an option available for all registered voters. “The right to vote is the foundation of our freedom and has been hard-fought for by our military veterans and citizens throughout our history,” said Hanlon. “In Monmouth County, we want to make sure that all of our citizens have

the ability to vote, even if they are unable to go to the polls on Election Day.” “For any reason, a registered voter can vote by mail,” said Hanlon. “There is no reason to forget, to get too busy or to have to deal with inclement weather. Most importantly, every valid vote cast by mail will be included in the election results. Voters do not have to worry that their vote will not be counted.” To vote by mail, a voter must first complete a Vote by Mail application. This application can be downloaded from the

Monmouth County Clerk’s website or monmouthcountyvotes.com, by visiting one of the Monmouth County Clerk’s Offices, or the municipal clerk in the voter’s hometown. Simple instructions for completing and returning vote by mail ballots are included in the ballot package. Applications to Vote by Mail may be sent by U.S. Mail and must be received in the County Clerk’s Office seven days before an election. For the November 8 general election, the date is November 1.

www.micromediapubs.com

Voters may also apply to vote by mail in person at the County Clerk’s election office at 300 Halls Mill Rd. in Freehold Township until 3 p.m. the day before the election. For the November. 8 general election, the date is November 7. “Voting has never been easier,” said Hanlon. “So vote early; Vote by Mail and make sure that your vote is counted.” Voters with additional questions about voting by mail should call the County Clerk’s Election Division at 732-431-7790.

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert Shea and Michael Deem, R.C. Shea

A significant percentage of the motor vehicles that travel though our community are either uninsured or underinsured. To protect against the harms and losses caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists, automobile insurance companies are obligated by law to provide uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to those motorists who purchase Standard policies. Although underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage is not mandatory, typically they are sold hand-in-hand with UM endorsements and are found in virtually all Standard automobile insurance policies in New Jersey. As the name suggests, UM /UIM coverage is that element of an insured’s own policy of insurance under which he or his family may be compensated for injuries and losses suffered at the hands of an uninsured or underinsured motorist. This coverage also applies when you are injured as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle. UM/UIM insurance is very inexpensive yet very important. It is designed to protect you and your family. For instance, you are sitting at a red light minding

DEGRAFF CREMATION SERVICES

your business when Michael J. Deem Esq. all of the sudden a drunk runs a red light, crashes into your vehicle and causes you to spend the next week in the hospital with multiple permanent, internal injuries. Your only source of compensation for pain, suffering and unpaid medical bills may come from your UM/UIM insurance policy if the drunk was uninsured or underinsured. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. And although the failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment many people deliberately do not carry insurance or do not realize that their insurance policy has expired or been cancelled. Never rely upon a stranger to protect you and your family. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is your responsibility. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of September 3-September 10

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Breathe new life into old routines. Paying close attention to the tiniest things and adding a unique touch could ensure your future is better than average. Make necessary changes in the earliest part of the week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Being selfish is necessary sometimes. Do what is in your best interests, not what will be profitable or expedient for other people. Use your diplomatic skills within the confines of business situations as this week unfolds. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Sound strategies include knowing when to keep quiet. Although you may be flattered to be given an opportunity to voice an opinion it may not be in your best interests to do so. Play it close to your chest in the week ahead. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The next few days are the best ones for networking and making new contacts. Avoid making major purchases or commitments in the last half of the week. The week ahead can bring benefits if you sidestep confrontations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Budget-conscious attitudes are broken down by compassion. No matter how strict you are about spending someone could wheedle a few dollars out of your pocket in the week ahead. Launch new projects as soon as possible. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Enjoy the fruits of your labors. In the week ahead you might receive applause for your generosity, leadership abilities or wisdom. Make commitments, promises and agreements as early in the week as possible to avoid disputes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep the best and highest in mind. Your wants and needs might be well under control and used to good purpose in the week ahead. A generous spirit will help you survive when people are difficult to deal with. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Focus on setting reasonable goals this week. Put something away for a rainy day this week. You will learn that it is better to save your pennies than to waste them on passing whims. Loved ones may share your ambitions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Give in with good grace. You may need to compromise to achieve harmony with others. Favors may be asked. Even the most devoted followers need an incentive or a reward for their loyalty this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Exercise good taste. Ask for the opinion of a friend when shopping for decorator items or house wares and you won’t go wrong. Enjoy mental challenges or focus on receiving a valuable learning experience this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It may be wiser to wait. Reassess sensitive financial situations or lay out the framework for future plans. There may be an opportune time to seek professional advice but it is not a good week to act on it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Bolster the confidence of others by being sympathetic and kind. Knowledgeable people are available and willing to provide a helping hand. Valuable information can come your way in the first part of the week.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Saucy Summer: Recipes For The Height Of Tomato Season By Wolfgang Puck

Now is the time of summer when, everywhere you turn, it seems that fresh sun-ripened tomatoes are plentifully in sight. Farmers’ market stands are piled high with them, from big beefsteak tomatoes to all sizes, shapes and colors of heirloom varieties to tiny cherry tomatoes. Home gardens, too, are filled with tomato plants supported by cages or trellises and heavily weighted down with crops just begging to be picked. So, what do you do with all those tomatoes? Of course, I’m eating them in lots of salads right now. I’m also slicing them to go in sandwiches or on top of pizzas and pureeing them coarsely for warm tomato soups and cold gazpachos. I’m using either chopped tomatoes or halved cherry varieties to cook with and garnish all kinds of main dishes. And that’s not to mention the tomatoes I chop up along with chile peppers, onions and cilantro or basil to make spicy salsas as a condiment. Even with all those possibilities, though, there always seems to be more tomatoes than I can use right away. That’s why one of my mainstay recipes at this time of year is a basic, all-purpose homemade tomato sauce. I like to make a big pot of this sauce, which takes just a couple of hours or so to simmer gently on the stove. Some of it I may use right away. The rest can be easily stored in small containers that provide just the right amount for an individual recipe. Some I may keep in the refrigerator to use within a few days. The rest I’ll put in the freezer, where the sauce will keep reliably well for several months, to be thawed overnight in the refrigerator or, depending on the recipe, added directly to other ingredients simmering away. One of my favorite ways to use this kitchen staple is in my recipe for angel hair with tomato-basil-garlic sauce, which combines the basic tomato sauce with more seasonings and fresh tomatoes to make a quick, flavorful pasta that’s one of the most popular dishes in my restaurants. In the following recipe I use cherry tomatoes, which I fi nd offer reliably satisfying sweetness and texture at any time of year. They also look beautiful on the plate. For an especially attractive presentation, look for a variety of these little bite-sized tomatoes in different colors, including golden-yellow and bright orange, as well as tiny pear shapes to complement the round ones. So go ahead and welcome your own bumper crop of tomatoes. And get ready to enjoy the rich, sweet-savory f lavor of summer sunshine. HOMEMADE TOMATO SAUCE Makes 6 to 8 cups (1.5 to 2 L) 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium red onions, chopped 4 large garlic cloves, peeled, trimmed and smashed 1 large sprig fresh oregano 4 to 5 pounds sun-ripened red tomatoes 2 to 3 teaspoons granulated sugar, if necessary Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the onions, garlic and

oregano and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender but not yet browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the tomatoes. With a small, sharp knife, carefully cut out the stem end of each. Cut the tomatoes in halves and squeeze out the seeds into a bowl. Coarsely chop the tomatoes and set aside. Stir the tomatoes into the pan with the onion mixture. Hold a fi ne-meshed sieve over the pan and pour in the seeds, letting their juices fall into the pan; discard the seeds. Reduce the heat to very low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 hours. Using a food mill, insert its coarse disc and position the mill on top of a large mixing bowl. Taste the tomatoes and, if necessary, stir in some of the sugar to enhance their sweetness. Ladle the tomato mixture in batches into the food mill and turn the handle to puree. Discard the skins and fibers left inside the mill. To store any sauce you aren’t using right away, ladle it into small storage containers. Let the sauce cool, and then refrigerate or freeze. ANGEL HAIR WITH TOMATO-BASIL-GARLIC SAUCE Serves 4 1/2 cup (125 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for serving 4 garlic cloves, peeled, trimmed and smashed 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 24 cherry tomatoes, cut in half, plus extra for garnish 3 1/2 cups (875 mL) homemade tomato sauce 4 small sprigs fresh basil, plus 1/4 cup (60 mL) julienned fresh basil, for garnish Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Granulated sugar, optional 12 ounces (375 g) dried angel hair pasta 1/2 cup (125 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, garlic, pepper flakes and cherry tomatoes. Saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and the basil sprigs. Reduce the heat. Season with salt and pepper, and add a little sugar, if necessary. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. Drain, reserving about 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the cooking water. Remove and discard the basil sprigs. Add the pasta to the sauce in the skillet and toss to coat, adding a little reserved cooking liquid if necessary. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) Parmesan and toss again. Drizzle with a little olive oil and toss once more. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, use tongs to lift and twirl neat mounds of pasta onto serving plates. Distribute tomatoes over and around the pasta. Garnish with more grated Parmesan and basil julienne. Serve immediately.
