Casino Pier Begins Expansion Northward
October 1, 2016
Growth Promising For Berkeley Farmer’s Market By Catherine Galioto BERKELEY – As the farmer’s market season winds down, next year’s is winding up: Councilman Angelo Guadagno announced nearly all the vendors have signed up to participate next year. Guadagno said the first year at its new spot on Route 9 in the Recreation Building and Historical Society parking lot helped, but many come to the market each Tuesday and say they were unaware it existed. “This is in spite of all the advertising, signs, publicity we did,” Guadagno said. “I think we just need to get more word of mouth so people can fi nd out and support it.” It’s a change over its first year, last year, (Market - See Page 5)
A Focus On Nesting Birds, Turtles In Ocean County
–Photos by Catherine Galioto Pilings mark the outline of the northern expansion of Casino Pier, to allow for thrill rides and more space lost after the eastern portion of the pier’s destruction from Superstorm Sandy. Seaside Heights swapped 1.36 acres of beach for a parking lot farther north. By Catherine Galioto SEASIDE HEIGHTS – New pilings stand erect on the beachfront, marking the next step in expanding Casino Pier northward. The amusement pier will grow more than an acre to make way for additional rides, the result of a controversial land swap that pitted environmentalist and public access advocates against those in support of the expansion, who said it would
increase tourism and sustain the economy of Seaside Heights. Now, the project is underway, with the temporary dunes recognizable in the off season pushed aside at Sherman Avenue to mark off where the new footprint of the pier would go. Nearby in the Casino Pier’s maintenance lot across the street of Ocean Terrace, the parts of a new blue and green roller coaster sat unassembled.
T The activity comes after several months of public hearings and awaiting approvals between all parties, for a plan that would take 1.36 acres of Seaside Heights beachfront and give it to Casino Pier so the owners could build the pier northward with more amusements.
The pier hasn’t rebuilt to its pre-Sandy size, and instead of rebuilding back out over the ocean, the Storino Family who owns Casino Pier is pursuing beach land for its $30 million project to add rides such as a giant Ferris Wheel. (Expansion - See Page 5)

By Daniel Nee here’s both good news and reason for concern when it comes to wildlife in southern Ocean County. It has been an “excellent” breeding year for beach nesting birds, but increased traffic have put terrapins at risk on a local roadway. The birds and terrapins are both the subjects of projects for the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, which has had success with preservation programs statewide, and is adding more local partners in Ocean County. Its nesting bird program, which often focuses on Long Beach Island beaches, has seen a banner year, according to Todd Pover, Beach Nesting Bird Project Manager for the organization.

In exchange for giving a parcel of beach to the north of the Casino Pier to the Storino Family for its project, the borough of Seaside Heights would get one of the Storino-owned parking lots in town, between Carteret and Sampson Avenues. That lot could possibly become the home of a museum that would house the historic carousel, transferring ownership of the landmark, hand-carved ride for preservation by the town.

Originally, Casino Pier sought to build its pier south, buying land south, but a deal could not be reached between the owners. Rebuilding the pier to its length over the ocean is cost-prohibitive, its representatives said. That back part of the pier famously fell into the Atlantic Ocean as a result of Superstorm Sandy, the Jet Star roller coaster sitting in the water. This week, construction crews arrived for the initial work, temporarily closing the portion of the boardwalk near the Aztec to move in equipment.

based products and even food trucks. Plus, pairing the market with the museum allowed that building to be open and encourage its use, so that residents could enjoy the historical society exhibits there, he said. The farmers market is held 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through fall. For more information, visit facebook.com/berkeleytownshipfarmersmarket.

“The trends are clear,” he said, pointing to figures that are up from a year ago. For the 2016 nesting season, which peaked in August, there were 115 pairs of piping plovers statewide, up from 108 last year – the second consecutive increase after a record low 92 pairs were tracked in 2014. “The really good news is our productivity this year – close to a statewide record at 1.37 chicks fledged per pairs – puts us in the position to continue our population increase,” said Pover. The increased numbers mean the plover population could produce new breeding pairs in the next few years, Pover said. The population of Least terns and black

skimmers were good this year in Holgate, one of the largest colonies of the species in the state, and made up for a downturn in population in Monmouth County. Though the numbers are difficult to track due to their tendency to nest deep in marshlands, signs indicate the American oystercatcher population is also doing well, Pover said. While the nesting bird population is increasing, the foundation is also working on protecting the northern diamondback terrapin population along Great Bay Boulevard – also known as Seven Bridges Road – in Tuckerton. “Unfortunately, Great Bay Boulevard lacks a formal speed limit and mortality rates as a result of vehicle collisions are just one of the dangers the terrapin face,” said Corrine Henn, communications coordinator for Conserve Wildlife.
Hundreds of terrapins cross the road each year looking for suitable nesting sites in the marshes on either side, Henn said. “From what I’ve seen and experienced from the beginning of this project is that many more people are more aware of terrapins on the road,” said Habitat Program Manager, Ben Wurst. “It is critical to have the support of the local community as they are the ones who frequent the area the most and can really play a huge role in their long term conservation.” In recent months, the Great Bay Terrapin Project has seen success in combatting kill rates along the road. The organization has started tracking and “notching” terrapins so they can be recaptured to ensure their health. The project has also led to new signs being posted along the road and fencing installed on busy sections to prevent the terrapins from crossing. There has also
been an effort by volunteers to physically look after the species. “Our volunteers conduct road patrols to collect data on terrapins that are encountered on road and also help ensure that they cross safely,” said Henn. This summer, the project received a boost from Absolutely Fish, an aquarium maintenance company that also has an education and conservation mission. The company donated $5,000 to keep the preservation effort alive. The money was raised after the company hosted a live terrapin in their store. “People come into the store specifically to see her and are generally much more willing to help, donate, or take information when we have a terrapin in store,” said Jennifer Ruivo of Absolutely Fish. The full tally of the area’s terrapin population is expected to be announced this fall.
Ocean Ride Recognized As Outstanding System Of The Year
OCEAN COU NTY – Ocean Ride, Ocean County’s public transportation system, has been recognized as the 2016 Outstanding System of the Year by the New Jersey Council on Special Transportation (NJ COST) a statewide advocacy association formed in 1981 to provide information and support for community based transit services. Director David Fitzgerald noted that Ocean Ride is on the forefront of County transportation services in New Jersey. “Ocean Ride’s ability to serve older adults and individuals with disabilities
by providing critical services in assisting residents seeking to remain independent is unmatched statewide,” Fitzgerald said. In 2015, Ocean Ride provided 313,167 trips. Ocean Ride is funded in part by a grant from NJ Transit under the Senior Citizen and Disabled Resident Transportation Assistance Program, which revenues are derived from casino revenues. In an effort to maximize its funding, Ocea n Cou nt y has made i mpor t a nt upgrades to its transportation software system, including new on board tablets
in the vehicles making it more efficient for drivers and more helpf ul for its ridership. In addition the department continues to monitor all service levels for efficiencies. The county’s contribution for the service accounts for roughly $2.9 million, which represents more than 53 percent of Ocean Ride’s total budget. Ocean Ride began in 1977 with four vehicles and four drivers. Ocean Ride system has expanded to include a transit f leet of 72 vehicles and 62 full-time and part-time drivers.

Featured Letter Be A Candle That Lights The Way The last line of the first parag raph of the St ar Bangled Banner, “O’er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave” should be the motivation for paying respect to our Flag. Some may question their freedom because of the actions of a few, but we are all bound by laws and judicial powers that prevail. Tr ue, we may have some rogue police, but should we turn our back on all those who do ser ve a nd protect, both military and civil, in all t y pes of st r ife? Isn’t it the braver y of ou r m i l it a r y t h at h a s kept ou r cou nt r y f ree from oppressors? Police departments throughout the nation are on call 24 hours a day. Police of any color are a welcome sight when the call for h el p i s s o u n d e d . L e t us not judge all by the mistakes, and prejudice, of a few. All society has some inequity in the way laws are enforced. Some see enforcement of laws as b ei ng t he fo ot of t yrants on their back, but i n many com mu n it ies
it is law en forcement that protects the most vulnerable. Should society blame all police for the transgressions of a few? Should we blame e nt i r e bl a ck c o m mu nities for the sins of a few? Or, should we all stand up and try to right perceived wrongs? The K n ig ht s of Colu mbu s have as their motto, “It is bet t e r t o l ig ht one ca nd le, t ha n to cu r se the darkness.” Let all of us be the “candle that lights the way,” by working within the system without denigrating the work done by those who do a difficult job, under trying conditions, both military and civil. Rather than stok ing the fires of discontent, b e c o m e a n a d vo c a t e for prioritizing family and civil values to all you may touch or reach. Blatantly showing disrespect for our nation’s symbols will not only tarnish your name, but also besmirch our nation’s icons. Charles L. Frattini Manchester Twp. Councilman

Letters To The Editor Shouldn’t Be Too Proud It’s taken me over a month to get past the shock of reading just part of your article entitled “Local Comic Back on America’s Got Talent” on the front of your August 13th issue. So, this comedian “dropped the f-bomb on stage,” representing Whiting, and a letter is written on behalf of the Mayor saying “we are thrilled,” and “we are proud,” and “we are behind you every step of the way,” to this individual? Your article goes on to have the Mayor encouraging our local comic just as he would “one of our graduating high school students off to tackle the world.” Having thought about this a lot, it makes me wonder if the Mayor would write a letter of praise to any high school student who dropped the f-bomb while giving a speech during his or her graduation, or while applying for a job? While happy to see someone local on national TV, I’m disappointed in the Mayor for giving his blessing to this behavior. As for “America’s Got Talent,” I never watched it before and I certainly don’t intend to start watching it when Whiting is represented in this way. Chet Jelinski Whiting
Refused To Serve Last night, I watched Donald Tr ump tell why he thought he should be Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.
As I watched, I could not help but contrast his military experience with my ow n. Don ny a nd I graduated high school in the same month. He spent that summer having a good time, getting his first deferment. I spent that summer, like thousands of others, in basic training. While Donny was enjoying his second semester of college, my brother in law was killed in Vietnam. I was in Georgia, learning to be an operating room assistant. When Donny received his second deferment, I was at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, helping to deal with the hundreds of casualties of the war our country was fighting. When Donny got his third deferment, I was overseas. When he got his fourth deferment, I was just out of the Army and looking for a job, and struggling with PTSD. Donny graduated college that year. With his degree, if he had accepted his fifth call to serve his country, would likely have been put in the Finance Corps, and would have served his entire term of service at Fort Benjamin Harris, signing checks. Donny, instead, wrangled a fifth deferment. So, my question is, should the Commander in Chief be a coward who thought he was too good to serve, even as a payroll clerk? A man who calls those who did serve, “losers,” a man whose military service is less than that of a WAC, – should this man, who re-

Support Hagler For Commissioner A lifelong resident of Long Beach Island, I am thrilled to learn that Danielle Hagler, a young woman who I’ve known for over 30 years, is now a candidate running for Commissioner of Long Beach Township. In the many years I’ve known Danielle, I have found her to be an intelligent, highly motivated, honest, ethical, successful, kind and allaround great person. Danielle has an abundance of experience in leadership and in years of bringing people together to improve their lives. She is a graduate of Southern Regional, Coastal Carolina University and holds a Master’s Degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Danielle’s success in all areas of employment (Hagler’s Marina, several positions in the Fulbright Commission) as well as her community involvement (Coastal Volunteers in Medicine), show that Danielle has the spirit and attitude that it takes to represent the residents of Long Beach Township both impartially and successfully. Knowing that she is one of very few women to run for the Board of Commissioners for Long Beach Township, I couldn’t be more hopeful or excited for my friends/ neighbors who live in the Township and who have the opportunity to elect Danielle. While we all are aware of the high concentration of women business owners/operators in the Township, having Danielle on the Board of commissioners will provide an impartial, yet highly experienced voice for the men and women of Long Beach Township. Danielle and her husband have a vested interest in keeping Long Beach Township a hometown commu-
nity, one in which to reside and raise their newborn daughter. Although I reside in Barnegat Light, I take an interest in what is happening in each of the towns of the Island as one aspect or another will surely impact me. It’s my belief that Danielle Hagler will serve the residents of Long Beach Township well, and that she is the type of person needed to lead the Township community in the right direction. I fully support Danielle and her team because they represent what our Island community needs most. Becky Tarditi Barnegat Light
Lenape Homeland We’ve all heard place names like Man hattan, Hoboken, Rumson, Navesink and Manasquan. What few know is that these are all Lenape words, the language of the native people of New Jersey, along with Delaware, and the NYC-Philly metro areas. But in the region, there isn’t a single federally recognized Lenape reservation. Looking deeper into the history reveals broken treaties, broken promises, genocide, and forced exile. Lenape survivors were forced under duress to Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. The maltreatment and murder of Lenape is the dirty secret of New Jersey history. One that most ignore entirely, or heavily whitewash. The Lenape were promised their own sovereign state in New Jersey for fighting the British during the American Revolution. The government lied. They proceeded to kick out the survivors from their land, with a mere $1,000 Spanish Dollar payment under duress. End this genocide, fraud, and apartheid. Give Lenapehoking back to the Lenape, stop the fraud of New Jersey, and tell Chris Christie the Governor isn’t wearing any clothes. Eric Hafner Toms River

Department Of Health Hosts First Population Health Summit
TRENTON – Eight state departments—including six Christie Administration cabinet members—joined community partners in nutrition, health and wellness, social services, education, housing, transportation and the environment at New Jersey’s first Population Health Summit to address health in all policies. “Given the diversity of issues that influence health, it is critical that we partner to build on each other’s efforts and the work of our stakeholders,” said Health Commissioner Cathleen D. Bennett, who convened the summit. “Together we have identified nutrition and fitness and lead exposure in children as two key improvement areas.” The Agriculture Secretary and the Commissioners of Children and Families, Community Affairs, Environmental Protection (DEP) and Human Services, along with the Assistant Commissioners of Education and Transportation, joined 150 leaders from academia, private foundations, health care, public health and community groups at the Middlesex County Fire Academy in Sayreville to discuss strategies to improve the health of residents and communities. A population health video played during the summit explains the concept of keeping the well healthy, supporting those at risk for health problems and preventing those with chronic conditions from getting sicker. Population health promotes prevention, wellness and equity in all environments, resulting in a healthy New Jersey. It refocuses healthcare not only on the sick, but also on the well and aims to reduce personal, educational, social and economic costs associated with disease. A broad array of programs contribute to population health including state parks and recreation areas, Complete Streets, Safe Routes to School, Breakfast in the Classroom, farmer’s markets and supplemental nutrition program such as WIC and SNAP. Among those participating in the summit were the Advocates for Children of NJ, the Partnership for Healthy Kids, New Jersey Environmental Health Association, the NJ State School Nurses Association, New Jersey Future, the Food Trust, the Nicholson Foundation, the March of Dimes, the NJ Alliance of YMCAs, Rutgers Center for State Health Policy and Sustainable New Jersey at the College of New Jersey. Trenton Mayor Eric Jackson; Robert C. Garrett, co-CEO of Hackensack Meridian Health; and Dr. Vincent Calamia, chief medical officer for United Healthcare Community Plan of New Jersey, participated in a roundtable on population health moderated by Commissioner Bennett. Panels focused on “Partnering to Improve Population Health,” “No Safe Level of Lead in Children” and “Making the Healthy Choice the Easy Choice,” a nutrition and fitness strategy emphasizing access to healthy foods and physical activity in schools and communities. This summer, members of the Governor’s cabinet formed the Population Health Action Team to work on creating and advancing policies that build healthy communities and improve health outcomes.
“DEP will continue to support schools and other facilities to reduce levels of lead in the environment because there is no safe level in children,” DEP Commissioner Bob Martin said. “In addition, DEP continues to utilize multiple programs and facilities, including parks and open space, to get children and families outdoors for healthier lifestyles.” “The New Jersey Population Health Summit provides the various departments within State government an opportunity to coordinate responses to health issues with an excellent array of policy-makers, service providers, and health professionals, and to develop a cohesive approach to the health of all New Jerseyans,” said Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher. “Agriculture’s role administering healthy school and community food programs, as well as our efforts to promote the consumption of more fresh fruits and vegetables, we look forward to working as part of this group toward those ends.” “[Participants] in the Population Health Conference, show just how focused this Administration is in advancing wellness – through awareness – for the state’s residents,” said Elizabeth Connolly, acting Commissioner for the Department of Human Services (DHS), which administers Medicaid and various programs and supports for people who are low-income, aging and/or living with visible or invisible disabilities. “Our physical and emotional health can directly be tied to what we eat and how much. Awareness of that, alone, can make a great impact on people’s food and nutrition choices.” Children and Families Commissioner Alison Blake noted the Department’s Family Success Centers “help people lead healthy and vigorous lives. The centers provide free nutrition, cooking, Zumba, and yoga classes. By stepping into any one of more than 50 Family Success Centers throughout the state, residents can learn about health, wellness, and other important resources that can make a difference in their lives,” Blake pointed out. “The Department of Community Affairs is already working to address two areas relevant to the Population Health Action Team including the launch of the Housing First Initiative. It provides housing to homeless, high-risk populations to ensure that along with rental assistance, program participants also get regular medical checkups and counseling,” said DCA Commissioner Charles A. Richman. “The Department has integrated supportive services, direct benefits, education and counseling into a number of the Department’s programs that benefit children and families. Through a new state-funded pilot program, the DCA will address the threat of childhood lead poisoning by funding public-private partnerships to identify and remediate lead-based paint hazards to prevent elevated blood lead levels in children and pregnant women.” To learn more, visit the Department’s population health website at state.nj.us/health/ populationhealth.

How To Make 911 Calls More Efficient
By Phyllis Brown, Holiday City at Berkeley EMS BERKELEY – What slows us down once we get to you? Usually it is lack of available information. Even if you don’t think you will need 911 in the near future, it is best to be prepared. If you just need help getting up after a fall or you need a little first aid, like a bandage, we probably don’t need too much information from you. I consider myself to be healthy, however, I have this information magnetically attached to the side of my refrigerator in case of emergency. Everyone should do this. Have the names & numbers of your doctor and your emergency contact; if your contact is not local, you may want a second contact. Have a list of your medical history. A list of medical conditions can make the number of questions we need to as go from a zillion to maybe only 100. When you feel poorly, it seems like that. Have a list of all drugs and dosages, including vitamins. The list of medications is very important. The hospital does not want us to bring your meds. They will not give you your own meds because the bottles are open and there is no way to know if you have the correct drugs in the bottles. Also remember vitamins are drugs and can react badly with other drugs. Have a list of allergies to foods and medications; important so that the hospital or the paramedics won’t give them to you making you feel worst instead of better.
Have a medical Power of Attorney. Hopefully you will never need it. If you do it means you can’t tell us what you need or want. You may need to have someone you trust to help make a decision for you until you are better. If we cannot read this we must assume it doesn’t exist no matter what anyone says. I hate to bring this up but, if you are suffering from a fatal illness, you may want your doctor to sign a Do Not Resuscitate form. If there is no DNR or we can’t find it, we will perform CPR until a doctor pronounces you dead even if someone tells us “it’s here somewhere.” The last two documents must be available or we have to assume they do not exist. It is important to put all this information in one place where it is easily accessible. I suggest that place be your refrigerator, as we will look there if you can’t tell us where it is. This will insure that the EMS team will have everything needed in case I can’t tell them. If you can’t get to the door and it is locked, it is not a bad idea to have a key somewhere or a lock box so EMS can get in without calling the Police to break down your door. It saves time and your property. Most of us never think about that until we call 911 and can’t get to the door. Volunteer one day a week. You’ll be CPR certified. We train you. Want some action? Join HCBEMS at 100 Port Royal Dr. Now you can recycle magazines, phone books and aluminum cans at HCBEMS.

Love Them To Life: A Support Group For Mothers Of Addicts WHITING – Mothers are on the front lines of dealing with sons or daughters who are in addiction, but most are not equipped to know what to do or not to do. They are so accustomed to nurturing our children (even as adults) that they often end up enabling addictive behavior. They also need the love and support of other moms who are going through the same deep waters of seeing their children destroy themselves and ripping out their hearts in the process. Love Them To Life is a group designed to support, encourage, and educate mothers of addicts. The purpose of the group is to let moms know that they are not alone, to help them get healthy in their bodies, souls, and spirits, to help them understand that Jesus
Christ is the only true bondage breaker, and to equip them to deal with their sons or daughters as they struggle with addiction. The curriculum covers topics such as enabling, codependency, denial, stealing, guilt, legal issues, how to recognize addictive behaviors, and many more. The group meets 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Monday nights at America’s Keswick, 601 Route 530. The curriculum is Beside Still Waters - Discovering Peace in the Midst of Your Child’s Addiction. The cost is $20. The group is facilitated by Cherri Freeman, the founder of Love Them To Life and author of Beside Still Waters. For more information, call 800-453-7942.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Elbow Up
For some folks, inserting your hearing aid into your ear can be a real struggle. Sometimes you twist and turn the hearing aid which eventually creates a sore ear. Here are a few tricks you can utilize to properly insert your hearing instrument into your ear canal. First, for custom, non-behind-the-ear products, the “red” writing on the aid is for the right ear and the “blue” writing is for the left ear. Second, when you are inserting the aid, the “vent hole” is usually on the bottom of the aid facing outside.
Third, as you are trying to insert the instrument, make sure your elbow is “up” in line with your ear and push toward your nose. If your elbow is down, you may not insert the aid in the right direction. Thus, the aid may “stick” out of your ear and constantly ring. Remember, if you are struggling with hearing aid insertion, keep your elbow up while inserting the aid. This will make life a lot simpler and alleviate potential ear soreness and feedback. Finally, make sure you keep in close contact with your hearing healthcare professional who is there for guidance.

OCEAN COUNTY – “About 1 of every 5 children in the United States is obese or overweight and certain groups of children are more affected than others,” stated Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “We realize there is no simple solution; National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month provides an opportunity for learning about ways to prevent and address this serious health concern.” Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator, said, “Children who are overweight or obese as preschoolers are 5 times more likely as normal-weight children to be overweight or obese as adults. This can lead to lifelong physical and mental health problems, including diabetes and increased risk of certain cancers.” Regenye continued, “Childhood obesity is influenced by many factors. For some children and families, factors include too much time spent in sedentary activities such as television viewing; a lack of bedtime routine leading to too little sleep; a lack of community places to get adequate physical activity; easy access to inexpensive, high calorie snacks and beverages; and/or a lack of access to affordable, healthier foods. An-
other issue obese children face is bullying and the stigma of being obese.” Some ways parents can help prevent obesity and support healthy growth in their children are: Make sure children get adequate sleep, follow recommendations on daily screen (TV, computers) time, and eat the right amount of calories. Parents can substitute higher nutrient, lower calorie foods such as fruit and vegetables in place of foods with higher-calorie ingredients, such as added sugars and solid fats. Parents can ensure access to water as a no-calorie alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages. Parents can help children get the recommended amount of physical activity each day by encouraging them to participate in activities that are age-appropriate and enjoyable. There are a variety of age appropriate aerobic and muscle and bone strengthening activities that kids can do. The Ocean County Health Department offers programs on obesity, nutrition and physical activity for schools, parents and the community.

HERE’S TO YOUR HEALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
This is How you Feed your Brain By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
The biggest fear that older people face is Alzheimer’s disease, where memory and cognition begin to fade. I recently reviewed a client’s list of medications and he was taking two drugs to preserve brain function, Aricept and Namenda. These drugs are useful to some degree, but I feel that there are foods, spices and herbs in your own kitchen that go a long way to preserve cognitive function, stabilize mood and lower levels of anxiety. I absolutely love spices that heal, so much so that I have a free ebook “Spices that Heal” which you can download right now at my website suzycohen.com. This ebook talks about spices that heal all kinds of conditions. Now, here is how you properly feed your brain: Put hemp seeds in your salad. Hulled hemp seeds put healthy fats into your body, and offset the bad fats typical of an American diet. Hemp seeds have practically no THC, the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. They have a perfect 3:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids. Put a tablespoon (daily) on your salad, scrambled eggs or roasted vegetables. Sprinkle my recipe for Brainpower Season Salt. Mix together the following 6 seasonings in equal amounts and put into an empty salt shaker. Sprinkle as desired: Rosemary, powdered gotu kola (get from an apothecary), himalayan salt, onion powder, powdered garlic (not garlic salt) and powdered turmeric. Eat mushrooms. I’m not talking Portabellos, I’m referring to Lion’s Mane
which gives us the active ingredient of Hericium erinaceus. Lion’s Mane is sold as a dietary supplement, and known for its potent neuroregenerative powers. I buy the real mushrooms in the fresh produce section and butter sauté them with Brussels sprouts and garlic. Lion’s Mane is a neurotrophic so my pick for you if you have any kind of brain damage from anything (trauma, benzos, mold, etc). Drink Juice. We all think of antioxidants as a dietary supplement, like Vitamin C, for example. Citrus juice is a great source of natural vitamin C so a few ounces of orange juice would provide natural C which helps you make dopamine, serotonin and other neurotransmitters that a healthy brain requires. Eat Foliage. By foilage, I mean salads and greens to give you folate, the natural form of the synthetic vitamin “folic acid.” Leafy greens like kale, spinach, broccoli, Swiss chard and lettuce have a lot of folate. Greens also provide powerful antioxidants so eat something green every day. I recommend you cook cruciferous vegetables in order to reduce goitrogens. Obviously you don’t cook the lettuce. Say yes when they offer black pepper. The servers will often ask if you want black pepper on your salad at restaurants. Say yes next time because piperine, the primary component of black pepper slows the breakdown of serotoin and raises other feel-good endorphins. Studies are ongoing for black pepper’s role in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

FREE SCREENING for Detection of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA)
As many as 2.7 million Americans are estimated to have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, but only about half of them have been diagnosed. Approximately 15,000 people die from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in the United States each year. Many patients are not aware of the presence of an AAA. It is more prevalent in patients with history of smoking and family histories of abdominal aortic aneurysms and hypertension. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms usually do not produce any symptoms until the aneurysm is ready to rupture. It is therefore important that persons over the age of 65, with family history of AAA and/or history of smoking, should be screened to detect the presence of an aneurysm. If the aneurysm is found and happens to be less than 5 centimeters, the patient should be followed periodically as an outpatient with ultrasound to check for any significant increase in the size of the aneurysm. If the aneurysm turns out to be greater than 5 centimeters, the patient should consider repair of the aneurysm and discuss treatment options with a Vascular surgeon.
Please call the office at 732-244-4448 to schedule your free screening.

Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Robert Shea and Michael Deem of R.C. Shea & Associates
Strictly speaking, a lessee–you–is not required to pay the rental company additional money to insure their rented vehicle in the event the lessee is involved in a collision. New Jersey requires that all rental agencies provide liability coverage for lessees in the sum of $15,000.00 per person for bodily injury or death, $30,000.00 for bodily injury or death of all persons in one accident and $5,000.00 for property damage arising out of the negligent maintenance, use or operation of the rental vehicle upon public highways. In New Jersey, every owner or registrant of a vehicle must maintain certain statutorily minimum coverage for bodily injury, death and property damage. A lessor, such as Avis or Enterprise, is the owner of the rental vehicle(s), therefore they are legally responsible for maintaining the statutorily minimum insurance on their vehicles. An insurer’s policy that attempts to exclude
you (the lessee) from coverage is not enforceable. A rental company cannot take away your statutory rights. Michael J. Deem Esq. In addition, your personal automobile insurance policy will act as excess insurance in the event you injure someone or damage their property as a result of the negligent maintenance, use or operation of the rental vehicle upon public highways. If you choose to pay the rental company extra money for their insurance then ask them what it is you are purchasing? If they are legally required to provide you with basic liability coverage are you then purchasing excess insurance? If so how much additional insurance are you purchasing?

Dear Joel My wife and I are both retired. I am writing because she may see this and realize that it’s her that I am referring to. Our house is filthy and disgusting. I can no longer look in the refrigerator. Our stove hasn’t been cleaned in months and the bathroom equally as dirty. Any suggestions as to how to change her? Answer: My suggestion is (as always) stop trying to change her and work on yourself. I see nothing in your letter that makes me feel that you are incapable of doing some housework. Too often people can help
situations but find it easier to blame others. Perhaps if your wife sees that you care enough to do the cleaning, she will follow suit. If my suggestion doesn’t fit, many people hire people to do the cleaning for them. If that is all that’s wrong in your home, consider yourself lucky. It’s not a heavy lift.

State Police Seeking Public’s Assistance With Identifying Cop Impersonator
NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey State Police are seeking the public’s assistance with identifying a man suspected of impersonating a police officer. The victim, a 24-year-old woman, stopped her car on eastbound County Road 681 in Southampton Township, because she thought a police officer was pulling her over. The suspect was driving behind the victim in a dark-colored, older model Chevrolet Malibu (pre-2000) when he activated flashing red and blue lights positioned in the upper section of front windshield. When the victim pulled over, the suspect approached her vehicle and identified himself
as a police officer. After a brief exchange, she became suspicious and asked him for identification. When he refused, she asked him again, but instead of answering her, the suspect attempted to open her door, which was locked. At this time, the victim sped away, possibly running over the imposter’s foot. The suspect is described as a white male, age 25-29, thin build, short brown hair, with a “peach fuzz” beard, and wearing an all navy blue uniform with no name tag and a police patch on one of the pockets. Anyone with information is asked to contact NJSP Red Lion Station at 609-859-2282. Anonymous tips are welcome.
Parenting Wisely Course OCEAN COUNTY – Parenting Wisely is a highly interactive online parenting course designed by family and social scientists to equip parents with the tools necessary to engage their children in difficult family scenarios. Parents would learn constructive skills proven to lessen drug and alcohol abuse in youth, school and homework problems, delinquency and other problem behaviors, family conflict, and more. It holds the distinction of being the only online parent education course for families that is currently listed on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Registry for Evidence-based Programs and Practices. The program, also available in Spanish, is 3 to 5 hours long. Each parent has six months to complete the course. Parents are taken through the course one question at a time. The participant watches a video with a common family scenario and is given choices on how they would handle that situation. At the end of
each chapter there is a small quiz. The site includes parent forums as well as a take home guide for future reference. The goal of Parenting Wisely is to equip parents with the skills they need to improve family interactions. Parenting Wisely is evidence-based and has been proven to reduce teen alcohol and drug use, aggressive behaviors, and improve overall family communication. Each chapter explores scenarios to improve parenting skills in all situations. Some of the chapters include helping children to do housework; loud music, chores incomplete; helping children do better in school; sharing the computer; curfew; sibling conflict; step parenting; getting up on time; school, homework, friends; and fi nding drugs. For more information, contact Lindsay Prewitt at the Ocean County Health Department at 732-341-9700 ext. 7282. For more information about the class, visit parentingwisely.com.

Project Proposes Breaching Dikes In Good Luck Point, Forked River
NEW JERSEY – Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge has announced the availability of a draft Environmental Assessment for public review and comment regarding proposed marsh enhancement projects. The Environmental Assessment for the project is available for review at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge website, fws.gov/refuge/edwin_b_ forsythe/, and at the refuge’s Visitor Information Center located at 800 Great Creek Rd., Oceanville. A public meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on October 4 in the Galloway Township Municipal Building, 300 E. Jimmie Leeds Rd. Proposed marsh enhancement project plans will be presented and will be followed by a question and answer period. The proposed project will improve approximately 500 acres of estuarine salt marsh habitat in Ocean County by enhancing and
restoring currently degraded areas that have been negatively impacted by activities such as grid-ditching, salt hay farming, erosion, and sea level rise. The Refuge is proposing sediment enrichment at three project areas in Brick and Berkeley Townships. The work will also include replacing or the addition of a culvert in Berkeley Township (Good Luck Point) and the decommissioning (i.e., breaching of dikes) of three nonfunctioning impoundments at three project areas (Stouts Creek, Forked River, and Barnegat). Written comments should be submitted to Amy Drohan, Edwin B. Forsythe NWR, P.O. Box 72, Oceanville, NJ 08231 or via email to forsythe@fws.gov. The public comment period for the EA will close on October 21. For more information, contact Refuge Manager Virginia Rettig at 609-652-1665 or visit fws.gov/refuge/edwin_b_ forsythe/.
New Guidebook Spells Out New Jersey’s Right to Farm Act NEW JERSEY – The State Agriculture Development Committee (SADC) has published a Right to Farm guidebook to help farmers, their neighbors and municipalities understand the role of the Right to Farm Act in resolving disputes involving commercial farms. “New Jersey’s farmers depend on the Right to Farm Act to protect them from complaints and sometimes overly restrictive local regulations that can be a financial drain on farming operations and drive them out of business,” said Agriculture Secretary Douglas H. Fisher. “Therefore, it is important that all farmers, as well as their neighbors and municipalities, understand the process that must be followed to resolve conflicts and the
standards that must be met in order to qualify for the protections of the Act.” The guidebook explains the basics of the Right to Farm Act, including eligibility criteria, protected activities, the formal complaint process and procedures, and commonly asked questions. The publication also discusses agricultural mediation as an alternative to the formal Right to Farm dispute resolution process. To obtain a printed copy of the Right to Farm guidebook or the SADC’s previously published agricultural mediation handbook, contact the SADC at609-984-2504 or sadc@ag.state.nj.us. The publications also are available on the SADC’s website at nj.gov/agriculture/sadc/publications/.

NEW JERSEY – Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) forestry contractors are scheduled to trim trees in more than 60 municipalities over the next two months as part of the company’s ongoing efforts to maintain proper clearances around electrical equipment to help protect against tree-related outages. Since the beginning of the year, work has
JCP&L Continues Tree Trimming been completed on more than 2,000 circuit miles as part of JCP&L’s approximately $28 million tree trimming program for 2016. An additional 1,400 miles are expected to be completed by year-end. JCP&L’s tree trimming program is conducted by certified forestry experts under the company’s direction. In Ocean County, the work will be taking
place in Brick, Jackson, Lakehurst, Lakewood, Manchester and Toms River. In Monmouth County, the work will be taking place in Howell, as well as Aberdeen, Allenhurst, Asbury Park, Englishtown, Freehold Borough and Township, Hazlet, Holmdel, Interlaken, Keansburg, Keyport, Manalapan, Matawan, Middletown, Neptune City and Township, Ocean, Tinton

Falls, Union Beach and Wall. JCP&L regularly trims or removes trees and conducts other vegetation management work along its electric distribution lines on a four-year cycle to help reduce tree-related outages. The company’s certified forestry experts inspect vegetation near the lines to ensure trees are pruned in a manner that helps preserve the health of the tree, while also maintaining safety near electric facilities. Trees that present a danger or are diseased may also be removed. As part of the process, JCP&L works with municipalities to inform them of tree trimming schedules. In addition, customers living in areas along company rights-of-way also are notified before work begins.

What Is The Link Between Being Over-Weight and Joint Pain? By Joseph Moscogiuri, DPT, Forked River Location
M
any times patients come through the door at All-Care with complaints of pain and discomfort in their hips and knees and have prescriptions for osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis (OA) is defined as degeneration of joint cartilage and bone, which in turn leads to pain and stiffness. OA can be due to many causes, but one cause that is often over looked is a patient’s weight. Many of our joints in our body, such as our hips and knees, act as weight bearing structures, and are designed to withstand normal stressors placed on them such as walking. However, research has shown that the stress placed on these weight bearing joints is increased with every extra pound you may weigh. Let’s take the knee for example, it has been shown that for every extra pound someone weighs, the stress on their knees is increased by about 4 pounds. So if something is just 10 pounds over-weight that increases the stress on the knees by about 40 extra pounds. For someone that is 100 pounds over-weight, the stress is increased to about
considered healthy, while a BMI of 25-29.9 is considered overweight, and a BMI of >30 is considered obese. You can refer to the chart provided to get an estimate of your current BMI.
HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
400 pounds! All that increased pressure can lead to rapid break down of the joint, thus causing pain and stiffness and restricting you from doing the things you love.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU’RE OVER-WEIGHT?
An easy way to check whether you are over-weight is to calculate your BMI. Your BMI stands for Body Mass Index, and is a quick screening tool which is a measure of body fat, based on your weight in relation to your height. Typically a BMI that is < 18.5 is underweight, BMI ranging from 18.5-24.9 is
One of the best ways to lose weight is through diet and exercise. It is recommended that you get at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per day, as well as cut back on dietary fats and total calories. However, it is difficult to exercise when pain and stiffness within your joints may restrict you. Physical therapist can use a number of manual therapy and soft tissue techniques in conjunction with modalities such as ice, heat, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound to help alleviate joint point. Once pain has subsided, a physical therapist can instruct you on appropriate and safe physical exercises which help combat the effects of OA. Stop in today at one of our nearest All-Care facilities to see what our knowledgeable and well trained therapist can do for you, and experience the All-Care difference.

For the week of October 1-OCTOBER 7
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take your medicine even if you don’t like the taste. Someone may be right, but this might not win your affection. Keep accurate financial records this week as they may come in handy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may meet those who display kindness and warmth when you’re feeling as cold as ice. In the week to come you may find it difficult to avoid being reserved during social occasions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You could be confused by conflicting causes this week. Put a puzzling problem aside until you can get advice from a wise friend. Get caught up with a backlog of essential tasks. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might be better off staying put than taking off. In the week ahead spend time on organization. This will help you achieve a closer rapport with family or improve your surroundings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take it for granted that your wishes will be granted.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Pan-Roasted Chicken Shows How Recipes Can Evolve With Time By Wolfgang Puck
It seems to me sometimes that too many people treat recipes like scientific formulas to be followed precisely. But that isn’t how I love to cook, or how I hope fans of my cookbooks or online cooking school will treat my recipes. Great recipes are living things. Most of them can be changed in an instant, based on what’s in season or good in the market, how ingredients are responding as you cook them, and whatever whim might strike you. That’s certainly how I like to cook, especially at home. And I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately while looking at my recipe for pan-roasted chicken with a sauce of port and whole-grain mustard, and seeing how it has evolved over the years. When I fi rst started making and serving this recipe more than two decades ago, it featured butterflied chicken - that is a whole bird from which the backbone was cut out before the chicken was spread out and f lattened. I browned the chicken skin-down in an ovenproof skillet, fi nished cooking it skin-up in the oven, and prepared a pan sauce with port wine, cream, two kinds of mustard, and fresh herbs. Today, however, the dish as I make it is noticeably different. First of all, I take the extra step of removing most of the bones from the chicken - a fairly simple process I describe in the recipe that follows, though you could also ask the poultry department of a good supermarket to do it for you. The result is poultry that is easier and neater to eat, which I know the guests in my restaurants prefer. As for the recipe’s popular sauce, I’ve also made significant changes. Most noticeably, I use a higher proportion of port and chicken stock, reducing them more to intensify the sauce’s overall fl avor before I add the two kinds of mustard. More importantly, I also use proportionately less cream than I used to, a reflection of the fact to health-conscious eaters everywhere are trying to cut back on the fat they consume. And, a favorite secret of mine when cooking at home, I stir into the sauce a touch of bottled barbecue sauce or Chinese hoisin sauce, which enhances the results in the same way that glace de viande (literally, “meat glaze”), a greatly concentrated veal stock, often does in classic French restaurants. All of those small changes add up to a big difference in a recipe that I hope will become one of your own standbys, as it is mine. And I hope you, like I still do, will continue to consider this and many other recipes delicious works in progress.
BONELESS PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PORT & WHOLE-GRAIN MUSTARD SAUCE Serves 4 2 whole organic chickens, 2 1/2 to 3 pounds (1.25 to 1.5 kg) each Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cups (500 mL) port wine 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality canned chicken stock or broth 2 tablespoons bottled tomato-based barbecue sauce or hoisin sauce 4 tablespoons heavy cream 1 heaping teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 heaping teaspoon Meaux (whole-grain) mustard 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives Starting alongside each chicken’s breastbone and following the ribcage, use a sharp knife to cut the meat away from the bones on each side; cut through the leg joints. Trim off the wings, leaving the drumettes attached. Cut out the leg bones to produce 2 boned halves from each chicken. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Over high heat, heat the oil in a heavy ovenproof frying pan large enough to hold the chicken. Carefully add the chicken skin-down. Sear undisturbed until the skin is golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer to the oven and roast skin down until the skin is deep golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Return the pan to the stovetop, turn the chicken skin up, and sear over high heat 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a platter and keep warm. Pour off the fat from the skillet. Add the port and swirl over high heat, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon as needed, to deglaze the pan. Add the stock. Simmer briskly until reduced by about two thirds. Stir in the barbecue sauce or hoisin. Stir in the cream, bring back to a boil, and continue simmering briskly, stirring, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the mustards. Return the chicken to the pan along with any juices that have collected. Over low heat, turn the chicken to coat with the sauce and warm it brief ly. Serve with your choice of sides, garnishing the chicken with fresh herbs and the port/ mustard sauce.
