at 2 p.m. and concluded at 6 a.m.

Coming after a very hot spell, that Saturday was actually overcast and a bit windy. The cool weather helped out the walkers who were

taking to the field to raise money.

A path was marked off with signs around Veterans Park in front

of the bandshell. On the outskirts of the event, there were booths selling toys, games, and

Scouts Explore STEM Activities During Annual Camporee

By Bob Vosseller SEAGIRT – Around 10,000 Boy Scouts explored STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education activities during their annual state Camporee held during the weekend of May 19-21 at the New Jersey State Police and New Jersey State Police Training Center.

The weekend began Friday, May 19 when the scouts arrived and set up camp in 1,000plus tents covering several fields. After their 9 a.m. opening ceremony on May 20, the Scouts spent much of their day examining a wide variety of STEM-themed demonstrations and exhibits.

Sponsored by the New Jersey State Police and the New Jersey National Guard, this marked the fifth camporee held at the center.

The scouts joined adult leaders and special guests such as Boy Scouts of America Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh, Adjutant General of New Jersey National Guard Brig. Gen. Michael L. Cunniff and New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Rick Fuentes.

The scouts embraced this year’s STEM theme which featured fingerprinting, welding, robotics, insect identification, and demonstrations of the equipment and operations of the State Police and National Guard. During opening remarks, Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno spoke directly to Scout parents. “For the parents here today, understand that what they are learning is not just how cool all the toys are that they get to see, like how neat it was to see the Blackhawk fly over. What they are learning is how to behave when you’re not around.

And what choices to make when you’re not around. Whether they are 10, or 16 or 25 years old or 50 years old, what they’re learning in scouting today and throughout their lifetime is the moral compass that you can take some solace in when you’re not around.”

“The New Jersey National Guard and State Police Camporee provides an amazing opportunity for 10,000 Scouts to show support and gratitude for the servant leadership shown by members of the law enforcement and defense community,” said Boy Scouts of America Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh, who was attending the event.

“Fostering a strong STEM education is our best opportunity to boost the spirit of innovation and to help all Scouts be prepared for life,” said Jim Gillick, Scout Executive and Chief Executive Officer of the Jersey Shore Council of the Boy Scouts of America, the host council of the event.

Gillick added that “showing scouts that STEM is fun, we can encourage them to enter STEM fields and achieve success.”

Sean Fotarty, 15, Brick, Troop 17 was among the scouts who enjoyed the weekend of excitement that featured camping, watching police and Guard demonstrations, participating in interactive displays and working toward their Fingerprinting, Wilderness Survival, Crime Prevention and Personal Fitness merit badges.

“I have been in scouting for four years,” he said. The scout said he was mostly interested in the engineering and technology programs but also enjoyed the National Guard and state

police programs. “I may be looking at a career in those areas. What I enjoy most about scouting is that we are like a family and we work like a team.”

Scouts received firsthand experience with fingerprinting with ink, constructing an emergency shelter, using a visual impairment device to simulate the experience of navigating a walking course under the influence of alcohol, acted out a scenario in which they reported a crime and performed a strength test.

Troop 17 Scoutmaster Wayne Bauer, Brick, could not have agreed more with Sean. He joined scouting when he was 10 years old and has been with it for 50 years having made Eagle Scout along the way. “I really enjoyed the way they put this together and the programs that they offered were amazing.

We had nothing like this when I was a scout.

This is the Boy Scouts for the 21st century. As scout leaders we’re having a good time, too, climbing on the wall with the scouts.”

Bauer said that around 100 troops across the state came out for the event, which takes place every three years. “We love coming here to Sea Girt. This is my fourth Camporee. It is great to see so many scouts involved.”

New Jersey State Police Lieutenant Archer Jones, who serves as president of the New Jersey State Troopers Eagle Scout Association, was among those present at the event.

He said the “Camporee is a great way for the scouts to meet and speak with New Jersey State Troopers to see what it is we do on a daily basis.”

Jones said that the event showcased “how STEM is put to use each and every day during the performance of our duties.”

Scouts witnessed science coming to life through demonstrations such as a “vortex cannon” – using a trash can, fog machine and some engineering, and creating smoke rings that traveled the length of a small ball field. Some of the scouts toured the facility’s forensic lab where crime scene evidence is processed, and watched a K-9 unit demonstration. Scouts also had the opportunity to see a Howitzer, MK19 grenade launcher and sniper rifle during the weekend.

Another highlight was their observation of helicopters flying over the center and speaking with members of the Marine Police.

That was something that Austin Pierce, 14, of Howell enjoyed. “I was looking forward to the helicopter drop off and it was exciting.

I’ve been a scout since I was in first grade as a Cub Scout. I am working toward becoming an Eagle Scout. I’m working on my citizenship and world badges.” Austin was among 14 members of Troop 515 present at the Camporee. “I’m also interested in engineering so this was very interesting.”

The State Police showed off a variety of vehicles that were on display including an underwater operations truck, and an Arson Unit truck that included robots. Interactive displays included equipment used by the State Police Crime Scene Investigation Unit, Composite Artist Unit and Electronic Surveillance Unit.

Saturday night concluded with a stage show and laser light display while Sunday primarily involved a closing ceremony and breaking down their camp.

LACEY RESIDENT KILLED IN BOAT RACE

By Chris Lundy POINT PLEASANT BEACH – Police are still investigating the fatal boat collision that took place during the Point Pleasant Beach Offshore Grand Prix.

According to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, the two vehicles were racing when one boat crossed directly in front of the other on the afternoon of May 21.

During the first turn, the vessel “Repeat Offender,” operated by James Byrne of Nutley and David Raabe of Forked River, pulled in front of the other vessel “Smith Brothers,” operated by Peter Smith of Riverton, N.J., and Richard Smith of Souderton, P.A. As a result, Raabe, 38, and Byrne, 35,

sustained serious injuries. Raabe was pronounced dead shortly thereafter, and Byrne was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, where he was placed in critical condition. Both were wearing helmets at the time of the crash.

The Smith brothers, aged 53 and 50, were ejected from their boat, which sank. They refused medical attention. However, they were transported to Ocean Care Center for blood testing.

Detective Michael Proto of the O.C. Prosecutor’s Office is leading the investigation.

The O.C. Sheriff’s Department, Point Pleasant Beach Police, and the U.S. Coast Guard also responded.

Caroline Marucci lives four houses from the airport’s landing strip. She works as a f light attendant at Newark Airport and was trying to catch some slee p before a 12:45 a.m. wa ke up call when she heard a loud crashing sound and saw something red through the trees. “I thought it was a car that crashed,” she said.

Marucci said she saw a man walk up her driveway and ring the doorbell, which she later realized was Miess looking for help, but said she was home alone and afraid to answer the door.

When she opened her window, she was g reeted with an over whel ming

fuel smell, but says she still thought it was a car crash. Her home is in a culde-sac and she thought someone might have overshot the turn. After running outside to join her curious neighbors, she started to hear a crackling sound, but didn’t see f lames. “The fuel smell was very intense, it hit you right in the face,” she said. “How he walked out, he is extremely blessed.”

Marucci and her neighbors are certainly used to plane traffic, but worry about being in the airport’s line of fire. She said when her family built their home back in 2003, the airport was little more than a dirt runway. Now, she said they’re in what’s considered a crash zone.

The New Jersey State Police contacted the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board for further investigation. Paul Basilotto, who is an aviation inspector with the FAA, arrived on scene to take a statement from Meiss.

Also assisting on the scene was the Eagleswood Fire Company. The Department of Environmental Protection has also been notif ied and the FAA will be now working on their end of the investigation.

MacArthur Leads Letter Urging Funding For KC-46 Hangars From The Desk Of

Congressman Tom MacArthur NEW JERSEY – Congressman MacArthur today urged Secretary of Defense James Mattis to include funding in the fiscal year 2018 budget for new hangars to house the KC-46 tankers at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, as well as any other

construction that would help ease the KC-46 transition. MacArthur was joined

by Representatives Chris Smith, Frank LoBiondo and Donald Norcross in this request.

“The placement of the KC46 tankers is critical for our

national defense, for Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and for the over 42,000 New Jersey residents who are employed at the base,” said Congressman MacArthur. “Now, it is vital that new hangars for the KC-46 are funded as soon as possible so they are completed in time for the arrival of the tankers. Preparing for new KC-46 refueling tankers with new hangars will ensure no interruption in our vital air mobility mission and will help save lives.”

“Joi nt Ba se Mc-

Guire-Dix-Lakehurst has an outstanding record of supporting crucial missions that have been at the forefront of U.S. national security and defense. The basing of the next generation of refueling tankers at the Joint Base is a natural fit for the Air Force and a win for our Joint Base and local communities,” said Congressman Chris Smith. “Ensuring timely funding for the hangars where the KC-46As will be based is not only good for the tens of thousands who are employed at the Joint

Base—it is good for the safety and power projection of our nation.”

“Ensuring the readiness of our military assets at the Joint Base is critical for our national security. New hangars for the KC-46 fleet should be a priority for the upcoming Defense Department funding and I appreciate the bipartisan effort of the New Jersey delegation in advocating for its inclusion,” said Congressman Frank LoBiondo, a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee.

“The next generation of air refueling tankers at New Jersey’s Joint Base provides certainty for future generations of New Jerseyans and we are working together to ensure there are no preventable delays for that new fleet,” said Congressman Donald Norcross. “As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I will continue to fight to protect Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and its strategic importance to our state and country’s national security.”

Ocean County Pumpout Boats Ready For The Season

Freeholder Forum

by Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari TOMS RIVER – Now in its 20th year, Ocean County’s pumpout boats will take to the Barnegat Bay Memorial Day weekend making certain boat wastewater is managed properly and boaters are enjoying the bay safely.

“I recently met with all of our boat captains and the other partners in this program and it was unanimous – we are expecting a great summer season here in Ocean County,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to tourism. “Barnegat Bay is an environmental jewel and our pumpout boats help in our continuing effort to protect and preserve it.

“Our captains also provide additional eyes for recreational boaters making certain they are safe on the water,” he said.

Ocean County operates the largest pumpout boat program in the state including the fi rst pumpout in New Jersey, The Circle of Life,

which started service 20 years ago.

“I want to acknowledge all of our partners that make this program so successful,” Vicari said. “We have grown from operating one boat that focused on the area of the northern barrier island to six that allows us to cover the entire bay and its tributaries.”

The partners include Brick Township, the Tuckerton Seaport and Baymen’s Museum, Seaside Park, and the Ocean County Utilities Authority. The state Department of Environmental Protection also provides some funds to offset the operational costs. And, the boats, with the exception of the Circle of Life, were all purchased by Ocean County with the costs being reimbursed through the Clean Vessel Act Grant and the NJ Shore-to-Please license plate program. The Circle of Life was purchased by Seaside Park.

“With the ongoing cooperation of all these groups

and agencies, this program has been recognized statewide and nationally for its outstanding performance in protecting the environment,” Vicari said.

Since the program began in 1997, more than 70,000 recreational boats have used the free service and over 1.4 million gallons of effluent have been disposed of properly.

Ocean County’s pumpout boats are specially equipped vessels capable of emptying the on-board toilets and tanks of other boats, thus keeping waste from entering the bay. The boats cover different areas of the bay throughout Ocean County. The pumpout boats can be accessed by contacting the captains on VHF Radio Channel 9. In addition, cell phone numbers for the captains are listed on the program’s website and in promotional materials.

The costs to operate all the boats are split between the county and the Ocean County Utilities Authority.

“The $120,000 budget covers the boat captains, fuel, maintenance, insurance and other incidental costs,” Vicari said. “This allows the service to be provided free of charge to boaters.”

Six of the boats operate

regularly in the greater Barnegat Bay area while the Circle of Life, is currently used as a backup for busy weekends.

Vicari said the pumpout boat program is essential for a county like Ocean County which relies on tourism for its economic base.

“When boaters are unable to use the many pumpouts based at the marinas throughout the County, they should be using the pumpout boats,” he said.

“We now operate six pumpout boats regularly that are helping us do our part to keep Barnegat Bay and its tributaries clean. We encourage all of our boaters who are out enjoying the bay and our rivers to use

MANAHAWKIN – A trip to the Student Television Network (STN) Convention and Competition in Anaheim California sounds like a dream to any TV/Film student. That dream became a reality this year for eight Southern Regional Television Production students and their teacher, Mr. John Kaszuba. On March 27, they boarded a plane to LAX from Newark airport to proudly represent Southern Regional High School in the yearly competition.

“We arrived with much confidence and enthusiasm, ready to experience one of the most memorable weeks of our lives” said Joe Mannarino, one of the five seniors on the trip.

The STN schedule offered a week long full of educational seminars and competitions.

Each day brought a new challenge for the students to overcome, but with the guidance and motivation of Mr. Kaszuba, the students stayed focused on the task at hand. The students attended seminars such as shooting with a pro, an audition audio workshop and even a

demonstration on how to incorporate drones in filmmaking. The team participated in the Crazy 8’s Competition, where they had eight hours to write, cast, film and edit a three-minute documentary on a prompt provided by STN. Not only did this experience create memories and friendship between the Southern students, but it also encouraged them to work with new people from other schools, states and around the world.

This trip was paid for by the students, their families and people that bought pop sockets and sweatshirts during the fast and furious fundraising. The trip itself would not have been possible without the Southern Regional Board of Education and Superintendent Craig Henry. Also playing a big role in the financial support of the trip was the Southern Regional Home and School Association, The Lorenzi Fund and several alumni.

Plans are already in the works to compete again in March 2018 in Nashville, Tennessee.

A FISH-EYE VIEW

One distinct advantage that fish have over humans is their ability to regenerate their eyes after suffering damage or injury. This is of particular interest to researchers who are looking for ways to treat degenerative eye conditions such as presbyopia, agerelated macular degeneration (AMD), and retinitis pigmentosa. New research into fish eyes’ ability to recover from damage and restore sight within a few weeks reveals that a neurotransmitter (called GABA) controls the activity of some retinal stem cells that play a crucial role in regeneration. By intervening in the production of GABA in zebra fish, researchers were able to control and observe the regenerative process. If these findings can be replicated in humans, it would amount to a monumental breakthrough.

At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices. Please call 732-349-5622 to schedule an appointment.

PRHS Moves Graduation, Project Graduation Dates Because Of Snow

LITTLE EGG HARBOR – The late spring snowstorm in March has changed the graduation schedule for Pinelands Regional High School (PRHS). Graduation now will be held on Monday, June 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the PRHS stadium, weather permitting. The change also impacted the much-anticipated Project Graduation.

“We had to add a day to the calendar,” explained Maryann Banks, Pinelands Regional School District Interim Superintendent. “We were too close to our spring recess to change the schedule, so we added a day at the end of the year.”

But when that happened, the venue for Project Graduation was not available. Other locations, although considered, were cost-prohibitive.

Knowing how disappointed students would be, the date for graduation was moved to Monday.

Project Graduation will be held on June 19, from 10 p.m. until 4 a.m., at the St. Francis Center on Long Beach Island.

“PRHS has been holding Project Graduation at the St. Francis Center for a number of years,” said Principal Shaun Banin. “The overall goal is to entertain the students – after graduation – in a positive and healthy environment. Plus, it gives the kids one last celebration as a group before they move on to the next chapter of their lives.”

Sponsored by both the school district and the Pinelands Education Association (PEA), Project Graduation has become an annual tradition that the seniors look forward to each year. In addition to good food, provided through the PEA sponsorship, the night features a range of activities, including swimming, volleyball,

basketball and other games. Through generous corporation and individual donations, students also have opportunities to earn prizes and enter to win auction items. In past years, students have taken home iPads, mini refrigerators, laptops, microwaves, PlayStations, bicycles, kayaks, televisions and more.

Math teacher and Project Graduation co-advisor Jennifer Shrader hopes that the local community will once again help make Project Graduation a success. “We always call on our staff, parents, local businesses and civic organizations to help us, whether it’s through volunteering or donations. Such contributions help us create a true party atmosphere – a place where students want to be to celebrate their graduation in a safe way.”

“We are truly grateful for any donation of cash and prizes,” explained Lee Anne LeCouter, graphics arts teacher and the other co-advisor for Project Graduation. “Donations of gift cards, and frankly cash, enable us to buy prizes, or to secure entertainment for the kids. One year, through donations, we were able to rent Sumo suits – the kids had a blast.”

Individuals who would like to make a donation to help give the 2017 Graduating Class at PRHS a spectacular send-off should contact Lee Anne LeCouter at llecouter@prsdnj.org or Jennifer Shrader at jshrader@prsdnj.org. Donors may also send contributions to the attention of Lee Anne LeCouter and Jennifer Shrader at 565 Nugentown Road, Little Egg Harbor, NJ 08087.

All checks should be payable to PRHS Project Graduation.

Two New Yorkers Arrested For Fraud At Stafford Dick’s Sporting Goods

STAFFORD TOWNSHIP – On May 13 at approximately 10 p.m., Stafford Township Police received a call from Dick’s Sporting Goods regarding two female subjects who were suspected by store management to be involved in credit card fraud and theft by deception.

Store management at the Dick’s Sporting Goods store in Stafford Township noticed that the two females in the store and their vehicle matched reports they had received of similar thefts from other Dick’s stores throughout New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.

Upon arrival at the scene, Ptl. Povlosky and Ptl. Eiker identified the two female suspects

as 27-year-old Demytra Gibbs and 24-yearold Khadijah Greene, both from Brooklyn, New York. An investigation revealed that both Gibbs and Greene were in possession of numerous fraudulent Dick’s Sporting Goods Store gift cards and merchandise.

They were charged with multiple Fraud and Theft charges and subsequently lodged in the Ocean County Jail. Additional charges are pending and this incident is being actively investigated by the Stafford Township Police Department’s Detective Bureau.

If anyone can provide any information regarding these two subjects, please contact Det. Levi McVey at 609-597-8581, ext. 8441.

Continued From Page 1 raffle prizes. Many of the booths were selling food. They all seemed to be selling them for a particular team.

Event coordinator Roxanne Stephens said that the event is not just for those who were lost, but those who are fighting right now, and those who can learn to prevent cancer and get tested to spot it in the earliest stages.

She detailed some of the research that the fundraising is going toward, including learning how cancer cells work. The funding is also going toward education, to have people screened early while the disease is most curable. The funding also helps offer immediate care, providing wigs, support groups, and rides to treatment.

After the event, Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato said that there were 35 teams in the event, and officials said that $52,000 was raised at the last count.

Continued From Page 1 at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.

“From the opening frames of King of Peking, I knew that it was special and a fi lm that the LIFF audience will love,” says Lighthouse International Film Festival’s Eric Johnson. “Sam Voutas has made a fi lm that speaks to cinephiles in a unique way, filled with moments that show film’s ability to act as a universal bond, while also telling a terrifi c story with a ton of heart and laughs. It is punctuated by pitch-perfect turns from his actors and it all comes together to form a sublime way to kick off the 2017 festival. We are thrilled to champion the emergence of one of the most exciting young directors working today by opening with King of Peking.”

LIFF will again present both Documentary and Narrative Centerpiece Films, including Jonathan Olshefski’s Quest as Documentary Centerpiece. A vérité portrait of a North Philadelphia family that was fi lmed over the course of a decade, it is a tender depiction of an American family whose journey is a profound testament to love, healing and hope. Quest will screen at The Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts & Sciences on June 10.

The Festival’s Narrative Centerpiece film is Fits and Starts, an acclaimed comedy that stars The Daily Show’s Wyatt Cenac as a struggling writer who has been toiling away at the same novel for years. His wife (Jennifer Greta Lee) is a hot young literary figure who has just released a new masterpiece. Fits and Starts will screen on June 9 at The Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts & Sciences, with Laura Terruso in attendance for a Q&A after the fi lm.

Closing the 2017 Festival will be Missing in Europe, director Tamar Halpern’s tense new thriller about a cybersecurity expert visiting Serbia under the guise of attending a conference for work, but is really there to check in on her daughter, Karissa, who has been studying abroad.

Their happy reunion is cut short when Karissa and her classmate Lara go clubbing and seemingly disappear into thin air. Missing in Europe will screen at The Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts & Sciences on June 11.

YOUR AD COULD BE HERE!

The Southern Ocean Times, May 27, 2017, Page 13 The festival will also be bringing back its immensely successful “Write By the Beach,” last year’s debut writers’ retreat program for female f ilmmakers and screenwriters. Designed with a simple mission to foster female voices in independent film, the program will bring four female fi lmmakers and screenwriters to Long Beach Island for a week leading up to and including the Festival with no obligation except to work on projects they are currently developing.

Inspired by the historic Barnegat Lighthouse, which has beckoned travelers to LBI since 1859, the LIFF has emerged as New Jersey’s leading international fi lm festival. The festival will feature award-winning f ilms from countries around the world, as well as nightly parties and panel discussions.

Get More Life From Your Batteries

Getting maximum life and value from your hearing aid batteries is easy if you follow a few simple tips from Dr. Izzy.

Buy the right batteries. Make sure that your batteries have an expiration date on them. Popular brands include Rayovac, Power One and Energizer.

Remove tabs when you’re ready to use. When you remove the colored tab, you activate the battery. Wait about one minute before inserting the battery in the battery door. Oxygen has to charge up the battery. As long as you leave the tab in place, the battery air hole is sealed and the battery freshness is preserved. Once the tab is removed, replacing it will not

extend battery life.

Store unused batteries properly. Keep batteries in the original card, stored at room temperature until needed. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat and never put them in the refrigerator. Also, contact with metal objects, such as keys or coins, can cause a battery to short circuit.

Bid your batteries a proper “good night.”

Switching off your hearing aid when not in use prolongs battery life. To make sure the hearing aid is off, simply open the battery door. This also helps dissipate moisture, which is a top enemy of hearing aids and batteries.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health.

His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!

Not To Freak You Out, But We’re Kind Of Dirty

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Most of us don’t allow our home get filthy and disgusting, we clean it up from time to time, right? We throw out trash, do dishes, dust and vacuum. So how come some people let toxins build up and get nasty inside the body?

We have so many antioxidants and natural chelating supplements that ‘vacuum and dust’ our bodies. Sweating is actually the easiest and fastest way to clear toxins, plus, by moving lymph, you filter out the sticky poisons.

If you think you’re ‘clean’ don’t be so quick to dismiss me because if you eat and drink (by drink, I mean anything including water, but you can certainly insert soda, alcohol or coffee) you should continue reading. Many of the things we naively ingest stick to our colon and spawn free radicals, raising risk of stomach and colon cancer (all cancers for that matter), as well as heart disease.

Our planet is a mess. Google Kamilo Beach in Hawaii to see. Chemicals and pesticides routinely flow through our bodies. Babies are born with over 200 chemicals according to umbilical cord studies! Then some idiot panel decided that newborns should get ‘stuck’ with about 36 immunizations comprised of more chemicals, metals or half-dead viruses within weeks of their first breath. Since their liver isn’t even completely operational, multiple shots with different chemicals could stockpile or collide. My point is cellular garbage accumulates.

One tuna fish sandwich contains so much mercury, nutritional guidelines recommend limiting tuna. It’s in the water, and injected into some amalgams. We can’t get away from toxins, so I recommend becoming proactive

before disabilities set in, before we’ve had an opportunity to skydive, visit Paris, or ride in a hot air balloon.

The brain is made of fat so that’s where toxins accumulate, causing neurological symptoms of an unexplained nature, what your doctor calls “idiopathic.” Vague symptoms of toxic overload include fatigue, diarrhea, brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, obesity, DNA damage (cancer), menstrual irregularities and blood sugar problems. I’ve written a longer version of this article, now posted at my website if you’re interested in more ‘red alert’ symptoms, as well as more solutions.

Today let’s all unite and do some exercise (do anything!) and eat some organic fruit, cook up veggies tonight and skip the soda. That last one is not only fattening, but expensive. Soda makes me burp, is that TMI? As for natural ‘chelating’ detoxification supplements, one of many to consider is chlorella.

This tiny microalgae acts like a wet sponge and soaks up dirt stuck inside your gut. Some theorize it can bind to heavy metals, medications, pesticides and plasticizers that might be hiding inside the folds of your intestines. Chlorella is an awesome superfood, getting its green color from the chlorophyll (which tints leaves green).

You can buy chlorella supplements or (superfood green powdered drink mixes that contain chlorella) at any health food store or online store. Since it’s a breath freshener, you might notice that it improves your kiss-ability. Start with the lowest dose possible because a big dose could trigger a detoxification response, especially if you have been exposed to a moldy house in the past.

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

You’re Not Invisible – You’re On Vacation

Dear Joel, My wife and I have a near perfect marriage. We enjoy the same things and do almost everything together, except when her mother visits. She’s a nice enough lady, but when she’s here it’s like I don’t even exist.

The Invisible Man in Toms River Dear Invisible, You folks sound like a super family. You are very lucky to have a great relationship with your wife that you enjoy every day. Additionally, it is wonderful that your wife and your mother get along so well.

If you saw all the situations and family dynamics that I have, you would know how truly blessed you are. Still, I do understand. It’s hard to feel like the odd man out, but try not to take it personally. Your wife knew your mother-in-law her whole life. It’s a sacred bond, and your

wife probably loves you more for giving her time with her mother. Don’t let it get to you, and instead, use that time to do all the things you need or want to do. When you start to view your mother-inlaw’s visits as a gift to your wife and as your own personal time, you’ll all enjoy it and you’ll get a lot more accomplished. Read that book you always wanted to read, organize the garage, treat yourself to a nice meal out, take a bike ride or review all your papers and insurance policies.

You may even find a little extra savings. Remember, you’re not invisible, you’re on vacation.

Inside The Law Insurance For Homeowners

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Marc S. Galella, Esq., of R. C. Shea and Associates

When buying a house, you should know about the different types of insurance you may need to protect your new home. The purchase of a house is probably the biggest investment most people will ever make so you should consider the various insurances available to protect your investment.

Here are some of the forms of insurance that you should consider: Homeowners/Fire Insurance Often called “hazard” insurance by most mortgage lenders, this type of insurance will protect you in the event of a fire or other such casualty loss. There are several components to this kind of insurance.

Casualty covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding your house in the event of a fire, wind damage, etc. You should also have coverage for the contents, i.e. your personal property located in the house.

In addition, your homeowners policy will usually provide you with liability coverage to reimburse third parties for personal injury or property damage which you may cause to them. It is a good idea to make a list of all the items in your home and/ or take photos of them in the event that you need to make a claim. If you have homeowners insurance, make sure that you have guaranteed replacement cost.

Your homeowners policy may also give you coverage to allow you to stay in alternate housing in the event that you cannot occupy your house for a period of time due to covered damage.

Flood Insurance As many people found out after Superstorm Sandy, homeowners insurance does not cover you for damage resulting from flooding. Homeowners insurance may cover damage resulting from a broken pipe or other such causes, but it provides no coverage for any water that enters your house from the exterior. In addition to providing coverage for the repair/replacement of the structure of your house, you should also

consider getting flood insurance coverage Marc S. Galella Esq. for the contents of your house.

Earthquake Insurance Most standard homeowners insurance policies will exclude coverage for damage caused by earthquakes or other such ground movement. Although earthquakes are not common in New Jersey, they are not unheard of. Remember the Northeast earthquake of August 2011?

Although this widely felt earthquake did relatively little damage in New Jersey, most people do not realize that they may have had no coverage if they did experience damage.

Personal Umbrella Policy This is an inexpensive form of liability insurance coverage for when liability to a third party exceeds the coverages afforded by your standard insurance policies (homeowners or automobile). In most cases a policy with $1,000,000 of coverage will cost less than $200 per year. Coverages are available for up to $5,000,000. The drawback is that you may have to increase the limits on your automobile coverage.

You should consult a licensed insurance agent to help you decide what types of insurances and the limits of coverages you need to protect yourself and your home.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of May 27 - June 3

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may find yourself plagued by uncertainty or pressured by your peers. Focus on necessary tasks in the week ahead and do not be distracted by your own inner feelings of insecurity. Your perseverance will be rewarded.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t back down. In the upcoming week you may find yourself in a situation where someone wants you to cater to his or her selfish needs. Trust that you have shown others will be reciprocated in full.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can’t please everyone, but you can please yourself.

The ambition on your mind this week is entirely achievable. There are plenty of people, in your own home or nearby, eager to help you achieve your goals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): New people or contacts in your life may be fascinating. You may be enamored by a new flame as this week unfolds, but need to wait to see if this latest passion lasts longer than the TV show you are watching this evening.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take the right turn on your career path. In the week ahead you might experience improved working conditions or find satisfaction in a special job.

Promises should be kept and obligations should be honored.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Every quid comes with a quo. The attitude of give and take always has to begin with giving on both sides.

You can exercise your enormous charm in the week ahead to smooth ruffled feathers and set the record straight.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your passion can become a pendulum in the week ahead.

Your emotions may swing to furthest extremes when challenged to prove your affection. Keep a tight grip on your piggy bank and don’t put your pennies in peril.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t sell yourself short in the week ahead. Fostering a positive attitude can uplift the members of your household and help them make dreams come true.

Be firm and stand up for yourself and loved ones.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be mindful of your manners in the week ahead. Your careful consideration of others will give you the advantage when you are involved in delicate discussions. Ask questions rather than being told what to think.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Build bridges that connect your goals with those of others. This week you can use your charm to impress people and may even seem more skilled than usual. Be sure to remain discreet if a new lover enters the picture.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Overcome bashfulness and be direct. Warmth and enthusiasm are tools best used to take charge of the social scene or even business activities in the week to come. A new face may be just the one you want to see.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It may be tempting to bring down the hammer on someone who is in error as this week unfolds. However, if you show leniency your kindnesses will be repaid in kind. Double check your addition and subtraction.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Cool Summer Quiche

By Wolfgang Puck I recently received one of the great honors of my career with the unveiling of my very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The best part of that day was that it took place in the presence of the people who make everything I do possible: the many chefs and other team members who work in my restaurants and catering company; and, most important, my family, especially my wife Gelila and my sons Cameron, Byron, Oliver and Alexander.

The occasion made me reflect on how much has changed since I arrived in Los Angeles back in 1975. Back then, not many people considered the city’s restaurant scene worthy of praise. I’m happy to say I played some part in changing people’s attitudes; and, of course, today LA is considered an exciting place to dine, with so many brilliant chefs and an incredible melting pot of culinary influences from Latin America, Asia and other parts of the globe.

I found a good example of how much everyone’s attitudes toward dining and cooking have changed while looking over my first cookbook, “Modern French Cooking for the American Kitchen,” published in 1981. Right there on page 40 is a recipe for quiche, which at the time was a staple on restaurant lunch menus everywhere.

Today, that savory tart of egg, bacon or ham, and cheese in a puff-pastry crust seems almost quaint; a retro dish sophisticated foodies might be tempted to joke about. Back then, however, food lovers were only recently discovering how good that specialty of northeastern France’s Lorraine region could be. It certainly made sense to include it in my book.

Since that time, quiche has never really gone away. You’ll find it in some casual cafes, often with imaginative variations including vegetarian versions that might offer a wide variety of different vegetables in place of the traditional cured pork.

I believe quiche still deserves a place on the tables of sophisticated cooks.

So, with that in mind, I’d like to share a fresh-tasting take on the classic: my recipe for smoked salmon quiche.

In place of the bacon or ham, I’ve substituted smoked salmon, which you’ll find in good supermarkets everywhere.

To make the relatively simple recipe even easier, I suggest you base your quiche’s crust on good-quality puff pastry, widely available in supermarket freezer cases, following the recipe’s instructions for partially baking the shell before filling it.

Serve the quiche for lunch, brunch, or even a light springtime or summer supper. One taste and I believe you’ll understand why quiche still deserves

to be considered a classic rather than a passing trend; it’s a star of the kitchen in its own right.

SMOKED SALMON QUICHE Serves 6 1 pound store-bought frozen puff pastry, thawed following manufacturer’s instructions 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon melted, remainder at room temperature 1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten, for egg wash 1/2 medium yellow onion, cut into 1/4inch (6-mm) dice 3/4 pound (360 g) good-quality thinly sliced smoked salmon, cut into strips about 1/4 by 1 inch (6 by 24 mm) 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill 3 ounces (90 g) Gruyere cheese, coarsely shredded 7 large eggs 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) heavy cream 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) milk 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).

With the 1 tablespoon melted butter, grease the inside of a 10- or 11-inch (25- or 27.5-cm) quiche pan. Line the pan with the puff pastry, but do not trim the edges. Line the pastry with a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper and fill with ceramic or aluminum baking beans, or dried beans; bake for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and lift out the foil or paper and the beans.

Brush the bottom of the crust with the egg wash and return the pan to the oven for 10 minutes more.

Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat.

Add the diced onion and saute, stirring frequently, until the onion is tender and translucent but not yet browning, 7 to 10 minutes.

Remove the baked quiche shell from the oven. Evenly sprinkle the sauteed onion inside the shell along with the smoked salmon, chives, dill and cheese.

In a large bowl, use a whisk to beat together the eggs, cream, milk, pepper and nutmeg until well blended. Pour the mixture into the shell. With a small sharp knife or kitchen shears, trim the edges of the quiche shell.

Carefully return the filled quiche shell to the 350 F (175 C) oven. Bake until the quiche filling has puffed up and turned golden brown, about 50 minutes.

To serve, use a sharp, serrated knife to cut the warm quiche into wedges.

With a pie server, transfer the slices to individual heated serving plates.
