off light for their mistakes. He said it undermines the NRC’s credibility that they don’t fine nuclear plants for even the most mundane issues. He said that technology like a nuclear reactor functions on a “bathtub curve” when it comes to problems. There are a lot in the beginning, then once the plant is operating, there are a low amount of problems, and then it spikes again at the end of its life. Now, the plant is at the end of its life, or “the countdown to the shutdown,” so he expects to see issues pile up. Additionally, the spent fuel that is stored at the plant needs to find somewhere else to go, he said. No one wants to store this nuclear waste, least of all so close to homes. Particularly, with a terrorist attack happening in Seaside Heights (when someone made a dirty bomb at a 5K run), it would make Oyster Creek a target. “This is not theoretical. We’re vulnerable,” he said. Silas Kennedy, the branch chief of the division of reactor projects for the NRC, reiterated that the plant is operating safely. “A few failures here and there does not make a plant unsafe,” he said. David Pelton, deputy director of the division of reactor projects for the NRC, said that there was no reason to fi ne Oyster Creek when the safety findings were not very serious, particularly because staff responded and got the issues fixed.

New Jersey Way

By Chris Lundy STAFFORD – The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said that the Oyster Creek Generating Station operated safely in the last year, during an annual meeting to address safety with the public. The meeting was held by the NRC at the Holiday Inn on Route 72 in Stafford. There were about 30 people in attendance, but only a handful were not members of the NRC, Oyster Creek staff, or media. During the course of the very short presentation, the NRC staff mentioned three green findings and two white ones over the course of the year. They did not go into detail on what these issues were, except for the most recent white finding. Washers were not installed and an electromatic valve did not operate correctly. The plant has five, and three are to be running at any given time. The color-coded findings are created by the NRC to give people an idea of how serious a problem is. Green is the lowest, and signifies a low finding. White is the next highest, which indicates a low-to-moderate finding. Jeff Brown, who identified himself as a Brick resident and a member of GRAMMES (Grandmothers, Mothers and More for Energy Safety) compared the NRC to an enabler or a “permissive parent” letting the Oyster Creek staff get

Garden:

Continued From Page 1 use for organic gardening this summer season. Those beds will be watered by a hydrant that sits nearby. They will be divided by lots, or by first-come, firstserve, Councilman James Davis said. They’ll cordon off the plots and assign numbers to residents. “Residents can grow f lowers, vegetables, whatever they’re inclined,” Davis said. The gardens will be organic, with no chemical pesticides or growers permitted. The idea for a community garden was raised by Davis, who saw the idea online. “I saw it on social media where a small town had what they called their victory garden, their community garden, and the excess food went to food pantries. The school was involved in teaching kids sustainable processes and growing your own food,” Davis said. He put that idea out to council last year, and said the idea came to fruition this year. They “found the money” to make it happen. The fencing was put up at the same time the borough’s new impound

yard was fenced. The borough used as much found material, and only spent money on the lumber to make the beds. The topsoil came from the county. Davis said he wasn’t sure how much it cost, but it was a minimal outlay. “It seemed like a no-brainer to try to get this off the ground,” he said. Residents are responsible for tending their plot of the beds—seeds and seedlings, weeding, and harvesting—and returning them to their original state at the end of the season, likely the end of September. There’s no cost to join the community garden, and no obligation to donate anything grown. Plot sizes will be dependent upon how many residents sign up to use the garden. Davis hopes to have some residents ready to plant in June. Davis would like residents to take an active role in managing the garden. He urged residents to contact borough hall to not only sign up to use the garden, but to help form a citizen committee to carry out the garden’s mission, problem solve, and manage the garden. For more information, call borough hall at 732-657-4141.

Hunger:

Continued From Page 1 of giving,” the organization is only limited by its resources. When it comes to food, Latif gets regular calls from case workers about men and women in the community who haven’t eaten in days. She can then arrange immediate food delivery through one of OC Hunger Relief’s 26 food pantries, located in churches around the county. Homeless people in the community will also come in to the center either alone or with case workers. Latif said the first thing she’ll do is get them a glass of water and ask what their favorite thing is to eat. She said her goal is to help those who might be going through temporary hardships, for example, someone who lost their job and housing at the same time, and people who want to get out of their homeless situation. In nutshell – helping those who want to be helped. One advantage Latif has is a track record. She’s been serving the needy in Ocean County for over 36 years, and with that comes relationships – with local churches, veterans’ clinics, mental health groups, case workers and government services. High school students from Donovan Catholic High School in Toms River were in the massive OC Hunger Relief thrift shop recently, donating canned goods, dusting furniture and helping a customer load a couch they purchased into their car. “Last time we actually spent the whole day here because all of us were just having so much fun and we wanted to get the whole room clear,” said student volunteer Kaitlyn

The Manchester Times, June 3, 2017, Page 7 Annecchino. “We finished one whole entire room, separated and organized it, and everyone else was in the food pantry sorting everything.” The thrift shop is neatly separated into sections that are maintained daily by volunteers. Furniture – dressers, kitchen tables, chairs, end tables and desks – takes up almost half the room, with a line of couches and pictures down the middle, and food, clothes, toys and bikes filling out the rest of the warehouse. Most clothes are sold for $1, although wedding dresses are a bit more. Volunteer Alicia also helped show customers around the shop and rung up their purchases that day. Items sold help buy more food to feed Ocean County. Latif’s vision for OC Hunger Relief is to help motivate those who want to get out of their homeless situation, and say to them: “let’s start working this thing out.” She said that often, the homeless and less fortunate are treated with disrespect, and that if you keep allowing yourself to be treated like dirt, you start losing your confidence. “There’s a lot of people out here that have had unforeseen circumstances hit them,” she said, adding that it’s all about treating people with dignity “Who we really are is who we are inside.” She said she gets a lot of veterans who come in every day, and recently helped an elderly veteran who went from sleeping on a floor to being booked to a veteran’s clinic and in a hospital bed. Part of the problem, she added, is that people look at the homeless situation like it’s too big to look at, so then nobody wants to deal with it. “It’s too much to deal with it, so

then nobody does anything.” non-perishable food and money.

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 first 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.” T he par t ners include Brick Township, the Tuckerton Seaport and Baymen’s Museum, Seaside Park, and the Ocean County Utilities Authority. The state Department of Environ mental 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 Ves-

sel 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

–Photo courtesy Ocean County Freeholders Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari recently met with captains for the Ocean County Pumpout Boat Program during a boating season kickoff meeting. 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 this free service and prevent waste water pollutants from entering our waterways.”

The boats operate Memorial Day weekend through October each year, including major holidays like July 4, and have steadily expanded their operations. Vicari again credited the boat captains for being “our eyes and ears on the water.” “They can quickly notify us of any problems,” Vicari said. “They serve as our ambassadors on the water.” For more information on the pumpout boat program visit the Ocean County Plan ning Depar t ment’s website at planning.co. ocean.nj.us/coastal.htm.

Jeep Strikes 7-Year-Old Manchester Boy

MANCHESTER – On May 20 at approximately 3:42 p.m., members of the Manchester Township Police responded to 1st Street in the Pine Lake Park section of town to investigate a motor vehicle crash involving an SUV that struck a 7-year-old boy. Upon arrival, officers learned that a 2012 Jeep Wrangler being operated by 31-year-old Lauren Flanagan of Manchester struck the juvenile while she was traveling westbound on 1st Street. The investigation revealed that Flanagan was driving on 1st Street and observing the posted speed limit when she saw several juveniles in the roadway playing basketball. Flanagan came to a complete stop and proceeded forward after she believed that all juveniles were

clear from the roadway. As Flanagan began to accelerate forward, a 7-year-old boy re-reentered the roadway, apparently to retrieve a ball. It was at this time that the juvenile was struck by the driver’s side fender of the Jeep. The Jeep did not sustain any visible damage in the crash and the juvenile was transported to Community Medical Center in Toms River by his parents with a complaint of pain to his right ankle. Flanagan was uninjured in the crash. The Manchester Township Police would like to remind all residents to always supervise their children when they are outside and to never allow them to play in the street. This crash is currently under investigation by Patrolman Anderson of the Manchester Township Traffic Safety Unit.

The program, made possible by funding from the Lakehurst Education Association, invited visitors to tour the school and observe the many positive changes that are occurring within school walls. Special guests, who braved the torrential rain, were greeted at the door by fifth grade tour guides and provided a small token of appreciation for attending the event. After a warm welcome by Assistant Superintendent Dr. Clifford Barneman, the guests

were invited to tour the school, sit in on various classroom activities, mingle with the students, visit the Student Art Show, shop at the Scholastic BOGO Book Fair and then relax at a luncheon that was provided by the Lakehurst Education Association. Throughout the day, teachers mingled with the seniors, shared ideas and reminisced about their school days. Many of the seniors commented that it was great spending time with the students during their visit. Considering how wet the weather was, the day was a true success inside Lakehurst Elementary School.

Ocean County Health Department Beach Safety Tips

OCEAN COUNTY – One of the nation’s longest running and most comprehensive beach testing programs will once again monitor Ocean County’s ocean, bay, river and lake beaches this summer season. “The Ocean County Health Department will be back inspecting the water quality every week at 52 public bathing beaches throughout the county from mid-May through Labor Day 2017,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Each week the OCHD tests water samples from the county’s salt and freshwater swimming beaches. The water is tested for two types of bacteria – enterococcus and fecal coliform. If the results come back with higher than acceptable levels, the water is immediately retested. After the second high reading, the beach is closed and tested daily until bacteria levels return to normal. “We can all help to keep our waterways and beaches clean by picking up after our pets and not throwing trash or cigarette butts onto the streets,” said Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari, who is also liaison to the Office of Tourism and Business Development. “This waste eventually washes into lakes, rivers and the bay and contributes to our beach closings.” You can help to protect your health while swimming at the beach by taking these simple steps: Observe Swimming Advisories – do not enter the water at a beach under a swimming advisory. Avoid swallowing water when swimming – natural waters may contain disease-causing

organisms that can cause gastrointestinal illness if swallowed. Avoid swimming for a few days after heavy rainfall – bacteria levels are likely to be high and disease-causing organisms are more likely to be present after rainfall due to pollution from land runoff and other sources. Prevent direct contact of cuts and open wounds – natural waters may contain disease-causing organisms that may cause skin infections. Do not swim if you are ill or have a weakened immune system – some organisms are opportunistic and may only cause illness when you are already ill or your immune system is weakened. Shower with soap after swimming – showering helps remove potential disease-causing organisms. Swim away from fishing piers, pipes, drains and water flowing from storm drains onto a beach. Do not dispose of trash, pet waste, or dirty diapers on the beach. Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator, advises, “The Ocean County Health Department posts on its website a list of all 52 beaches within the monitoring program, the weekly water quality reports and any closures so residents and visitors can have up to date information before hitting the beach this summer.” For more information regarding the OCHD water-monitoring program, please call 732341-9700, ext. 7471 or follow the Health Department on Twitter @OCpublichealth or like us on Facebook.

TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Library’s Brick Branch is now offering an in-house laptop lending program. “Keeping pace with the rapid technology changes and needs of the community is essential in providing the level of service that our customers have come to expect from the Ocean County Library,” states Dave Evans, Manager of the Ocean County Library’s Technology Department. This kiosk includes six Dell e5470s and six MacBook Air 13s that are available for daily use anywhere in the branch with your library card.

Foundation Chairwoman Mary Malagiere, Brick Branch Manager Susan Gardiner, and Library Liaison Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari led the ribbon cutting ceremony for the kiosk’s grand opening on May 18, 2017. “It’s so exciting to see the new and innovative ways that the library is using technology,” stated Malagiere. “It’s amazing what they do for our community.”

There is absolutely nothing wrong with giving the consumer better value for their dollar. As we all know, the economy is really not thriving and our retirement nest egg is half empty. The real question that you have to ask yourself is - what is the purpose of advertising lower priced hearing instruments? I offer you some of my own insights: 1. Lower priced hearing aids attract the consumer to possibly make an appointment. 2. Lower priced hearing aids may be more affordable to those on a fixed budget. 3. Lower priced hearing aids may be all the consumer needs in order to communicate better. If you decide to take the next step and have your hearing evaluated, you need to ask yourself the following questions: 1. Did the hearing health care professional recommend the lower priced

product? 2. Did the hearing health care professional recommend a higher priced product? If so, what was his/her rationale for selecting this hearing instrument? In choosing the best product for your listening needs, you need to be aware of the technology - Is it a low, mid or a high level digital product? How many channels does it have? What type of warranty does it have? Does the product have dual-microphones? Do I have a trial period to evaluate the product? Do I have scheduled follow-up services? Do I have a written contract? Becoming an educated consumer will create a more positive outlook on improving your hearing and making the right decision. Remember, your lifestyle should help dictate the best technology for your listening needs. Hearing the sweet sounds of your grandchildren again will put a smile on your face and those who love you.

NEW JERSEY – Despite popular belief, teens, children and even babies can have high blood pressure, also called HBP or hypertension. It’s not just a disease for the middle-aged and elderly. As with adults, early diagnosis and treatment can reduce or prevent the harmful consequences of this disease, including heart and kidney disease. This May, National High Blood Pressure Awareness Month and American Stroke Month, the American Stroke Association wants you to check your child’s health. When it comes to blood pressure in children, “normal” is relative. It depends on three factors: gender, age and height. Your child’s doctor can tell you what’s right for your child, because “normal” is a complicated calculation based on these factors. What leads to HBP in children? There may be many factors that can include: Diseases including heart and kidney disease Some medications Family history Excess weight or obesity

Race, particularly African-Americans are at an increased risk Visiting your pediatrician to discuss treatment options is vital in controlling HBP. As in adults, HBP in children is typically managed with lifestyle changes, including: Enjoying a heart-healthy diet Participating in regular physical activity Managing weight The doctor may also prescribe medication if an appropriate diet and regular physical activity don’t bring the high blood pressure under control. Children and teens should also be taught the dangers of tobacco use and protected from secondhand smoke. While cigarettes aren’t directly related to high blood pressure, they do cause a number of health risks. Parents should set a good example by not smoking and educating their children about the hazards of smoking. Give your kids the best possible start by helping them develop heart-healthy habits early. Learn more about raising heart-healthy kids at heart.org/kids.

Burn Fat With Five Thermogenic Foods By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

The fastest way to lose weight is to exercise more, and shrink your portions at each meal. But there are some shortcuts you can take. One of them is thyroid hormone, because it turns on your fat-burning pathways. Another short-cut is to eat and drink more of the foods (and beverages) that increase calorie-burning, termed thermogenesis. Here are the specific items I think can help, so try integrating what you like here, and do it on a daily basis: Green tea Drinking green tea, even once or twice daily (iced or hot) can be integrated very easily. Make sure it’s organic, the flavor doesn’t matter but if you put sugar in it, you’re defeating the purpose. Even if you keep your regular diet steady, you could lose as much as 2.9 pounds over 12 weeks, according to a 2013 article I read in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The researchers theorize that it’s a combination of the caffeine content and the polyphenols present in green tea that produce a thermogenic effect. Hot peppers Mmm, I love spicy food! It helps you burn calories due to the heat-forming compound called capsaicin. Taken internally in the form of spice, it can turn on thermogenesis. So next time you eat hot chili or salsa, or green curry, and feel yourself starting to get hot under the collar, remind yourself that you’re not being socially awkward, you’re being metabolically upregulated!

Cinnamon Cinnamon is thought to help balance blood sugar, which by the way is a short-cut to losing weight, discussed fully in my book, Diabetes Without Drugs. Cinnamon is also thermogenic. Sprinkle it over a bowl of fresh berries with a splash of your favorite milk or cream, put some on top of your morning oatmeal, or into a protein shake or smoothie. Cinnamon is great on top of coffee too. Apple cider vinegar In 2009, researchers found that acetic acid, the main ingredient in apple cider vinegar, promotes the production of fat-burning enzymes in the livers of mice. Don’t drink it straight because it is very acidic and can damage your tooth enamel and esophagus. It always has to be diluted in something so use it to make salad dressing, or dilute a teaspoon in a cup of water and boom… down the hatch! My ‘bookface’ mom drinks it that exact way, to this day. Coconut oil Coconut oil’s molecular structure makes it uniquely able to bypass the digestive process (where its calories could be stored as fat) and sent straight to the liver where it can be used for fuel. So coconut oil isn’t thermogenic because it increases calorie-burning, per se, but rather because it doesn’t contribute to fat, and it could replace bad fats in your diet. In addition to being thermogenic, these five foods are extremely healthy for you in so many ways, so integrating them in to your healthy diet is a wonderful idea just for the health of it.

Memory Changes As We Age: How To Remember The Things That We Forget

JACKSON – Have you ever lost your keys, misplaced your wallet or forgotten someone’s name? These are all common experiences, but for people nearing or over age 65, such memory lapses can be frightening. Join us on June 19 at The Orchards At Bartley Assisted Living to learn about how memory works, why it changes and

what we can do about. Memory can be defined as the registration, retention and recollection of experiences, thoughts, feelings, sensations, ideas and knowledge. Some declines in cognition and memory with age are normal, but sometimes they can signal problems. The number of people living with dementia

worldwide is currently estimated at 47 million and is projected to increase to 75 million by 2030. The number of cases of dementia are estimated to almost triple by 2050. The Orchards at Bartley Assisted Living is partnering with Centrastate Medical Center to host an educational seminar on Memory Changes As We

Age on June 19 at 4:30 p.m. at 100 North County Line Road. Come join us for a light dinner from 4:30 to 5 p.m. before the seminar. The presenter will be Marilyn Abrahamson, MA, CCC-SLP, Speech Pathologist and Brain Health Educator from Centrastate Medical Center. Marilyn will better educate you on how to make lifestyle and strategic adjustments that can help you to compensate for attention and memory loss right now. Changing your lifestyle habits can help you to delay the symptoms of age related cognitive decline, even if a diagnosis of dementia is in the future. Seating is limited, so anyone interested in attending the “Memory Changes As We Age: How To Remember The Things That We Forget” educational seminar, please call Centrastate Health Awareness Center at 732-308-0570, or visit centrastate.com and click on Classes and Events to register. For over 31 years, Bartley Healthcare has provided quality individual focused memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation and assisted living services for residents on its 25-acre campus in Jackson.

Inside The Law Reporting An Accident

Robert C. Shea Esq.

By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Dina M. Vicari, Esq. of R.C. Shea and Associates

Why is it so important to report an accident? It is so important that the failure to report an accident can result in high fines and even the suspension of your driver’s license for up to one year. An accident is not only between vehicles driving on the road, but also includes a collision between a moving vehicle and a parked vehicle. No matter how gentle the collision or how slow the vehicles were moving, the involved parties should never leave the scene. Even the most minor accident which may be deemed “just a tap” can result in the issuance of a summons. No matter how minor the accident, it is best for all parties to exchange information and, if necessary, contact the police for assistance. First, all vehicles involved should pull off the road to a safe area in order to protect themselves and other drivers on the road. Next, exchange insurance information and, if an insurance claim has to be made, it is important to have the necessary insurance information so the damaged vehicle can be repaired and the insurance companies can make the appropriate payments. Of course, in many cases the parties agree that the damage is minor, no repairs are necessary and, therefore, no claims have to be made. Further, it may be determined that the police do not need to be called in to make an accident report. However, all the parties involved should make that decision. In the unlucky event of an accident where the vehicle that caused the accident leaves the scene, the process is quite serious. If the driver of the damaged vehicle or an eyewitness is able to take down the license plate number and/or a description of the vehicle, the person leaving the scene can assume that he/she will receive a summons in the mail or even a visit from the local police department.

If that occurs, it is more than likely that two summonses will be issued. The first summons will be for failure to report an Dina M. Vicari Esq. accident and the second summons will be for leaving the scene of an accident. The latter summons is more serious and carries a mandatory loss of license for one year. The former carries a fine which can range in amount, but will more than likely cost more than $150. Moreover, this summons requires a mandatory court appearance. It is important to remember that the victim in the accident will also be noticed of the court date. That person will probably be looking for restitution and/or payment for the damages to the vehicle and any other costs incurred. So, if you are the cause of a motor vehicle accident don’t leave the scene! Sometimes people get nervous and think that if they leave the scene they don’t have to pay for any damages. In reality, leaving the scene can be even more expensive. You could be risking court fines and the need of a taxi service for the upcoming year that your driving privileges are suspended.

By Joel Markel

It’s Time To Th row Th ings Away

Dear Joel, I have a problem with letting things go. My closets, drawers, cupboards and cabinets are full of things, not to mention the garage and attic. Even things I know I won’t use, I have trouble parting with. How can I let things go? On Overload in Manchester Dear Overload, You’re fighting a very common problem. I don’t know how old you are, but many children of parents who lived through the depression and WWII picked up those habits from their parents. That generation dealt with real unavailability of products and rationing, so they saved everything from old rags to hand-me-down toys and clothing, and everything in between. I remember my own mother saving used wrapping paper. But here’s the good news. We live in the greatest country in the world.

The shelves of every store are overcrowded with fresh new wonderful items and you deserve them. Learning to let go of things is hard, but tell yourself you’re making room for things you really want instead of settling for things you have. Another good way to ease the pain of letting go is to give it away to a charity. Finally, try emptying out two or three cabinets (you can just move the items to another place in your home). See what it feels like to have a little space. Then, after a couple weeks, put back the items you removed. You may just fi nd you really don’t want to overcrowd things again. Write to joel@preferredcares.com. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio. com and 1160 & 1310 WOBM-AM

State: Beaches, Shore, Ready For Summer

By Judy Smestad-Nunn JERSEY SHORE – Tourism contributed some $44 billion to the New Jersey economy in 2016, and about half of that amount is generated at the Shore, said Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin at an annual media event, “New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium’s State of the Shore.” It was the 15th annual event advertised as “an annual tradition, kicking off the Memorial Day weekend’s unofficial start to the summer beach season.” Martin gave updates on New Jersey’s water quality and beach projects during a PowerPoint presentation held at Tim McLoone’s Pier House in Long Branch. He was followed by Professor Jon K. Miller, a coastal expert from the Stevens Institute of Technology, and then the men answered questions from members of the press. “The beaches are going to be beautiful, they’re in great shape, the water quality is excellent, so we’re now in a great position as we move forward into the summer,” Martin said. The DEP administers the Coastal Cooperative Monitoring Program along with the state Department of Health and local health agencies, utilizing two components: water quality monitoring and aerial surveillance. Ocean water monitoring began on May 15, and would continue through Labor Day, he said. Martin said that the DEP collects data on 216 ocean and bay beaches every Monday and the results are posted on their webpage by Tuesday. Water samples are collected from primary stations located in Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May Counties, he said. The DEP conducts aerial surveillance to look for floatables, debris, algae blooms and anything else that might affect bathing water quality. Six weekly coastal surveillance flights that run up and down the coast would begin this week, Martin said, and run through the entire summer until mid-September. In 2016, beaches were open 99.9 percent of the time, and bay beaches were open 99.6 percent of the time. Most closures were due to pollution caused by stormwater runoffs after rainfall, when fertilizer and animal waste gets into the sewers, he said. Dr. Miller said that New Jersey beaches are in good shape since the shore had a relatively mild winter. “We got lucky, we only had two major storms,” he said. The three contributors to beach erosion is the water level, the size of the waves, and the duration of the storm, Miller explained. The nor’easter in late January resulted in moderate to severe ocean erosion, but it peaked and subsided quickly, he said. He said the tropical storm forecast for the upcoming summer is higher than expected, with experts predicting 11 named storms, four hurricanes and two major hurricanes. “We need to be prepared,” said Dr. Miller. “It only takes one storm, so we have to maintain vigilance,” he said. After their presentations, Martin and Miller took questions from the press.

Several reporters asked about the proposed federal budget which would cut the EPA budget by about a third. The NJDEP relies on federal funds for many of its projects and programs. “We have all the money we need this year - it’s too premature to talk about the Federal government,” Martin said. “We have to wait to see how it plays out. I’m confident that cooler heads will prevail. We have representatives who understand our problems.” The Brick Times asked Martin how he would respond to the opinion of some coastal experts who say that with rising sea level some seaside communities might have to be vacated. “We are not retreating from the shore, it’s a $20 billion industry in New Jersey,” Martin responded. “I want to be crystal clear about that.” In response to a reporter’s question about the cost to NJ for post-Sandy coastal protection projects, Martin said that the vast majority were paid for with federal dollars because of Sandy legislation. He said the state portion, which was less than 10 percent, is being paid for with a long-term interest-free, federal loan.

The Club also recognizes individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary bravery, professionalism or meritorious service to the citizens of Ocean County. This year, nine public servants are being honored for their bravery at the 29th Annual Awards Reception being held on Friday, June 9 at 6 p.m. at the Woodlake Country Club in Lakewood.

• Meritorious Service Awards are being given to Lieutenant David Yusko, Detective Sergeant James Abbes, Detective I Stephen Christinzio, and Detective I Brett Beyer of the New Jersey State Police, and Detective Chris Bonner of the Seaside Park Police Department for their brave roles during the explosion that occurred during the Semper Five Marine Corp Charity 5K Run.

Boy Scouts Explore STEM Activities During Annual Camporee

By Bob Vosseller SEA GIRT – 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.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast

For the week of June 10 - June 16 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Your emotions are likely to get the best of you in spirited discussions. Avoid confrontations in the week ahead. Try to enjoy the world as it is. Don’t worry what others think. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Agree to disagree. There’s little point in trying to get the last word in as you’re not going to change anyone’s opinion and they aren’t going to change yours. Build upon common interests rather than focusing on differences. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t try to swat a fly with a sledgehammer. There may be a tendency for you to make a minor problem out to be a bigger deal than it actually is. Keep your priorities in order and don’t act as if a minor setback is the end of the world. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Step back and count to 10. Take care when dealing with those who may get under your skin as you could be quick to lose your cool. If tried and true methods aren’t working for you, thinking outside the box could provide the answer. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Slow and steady wins the race. Not that you’re in a race, but pacing yourself and taking your time will yield a far better result that if you try to rush. Others have come to rely on your efficiency and dependability, don’t let them down. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t believe everything that you hear. You may get showered with information today but not all of it is likely to be true. Do your own homework before using any facts and determine whether sources are valid or just blowing hot air.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Actions speak louder than words. Others are likely to respond better to what you do rather than what you say as deeds will leave no questions about your sincerity. Get all the facts before making judgments or reaching conclusions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Live and let live. There will always be people who see the world differently than you do so simply try to respect their opinions as you would have them respect your own. Adversity will be easy to overcome if you just keep your cool. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t get too big for your britches. Overconfidence could come back to haunt you as this week unfolds. You should always be prepared for even the slightest chance that you could fail and have a backup plan. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Expand your horizons. Reading up on a subject could provide valuable insights for business or life in general. Keep an open mind if a companion wants to try something different as the experience could be worthwhile. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. A knee-jerk reaction could land you right in the middle of a messy situation that would be best to avoid. Break up the monotony by doing something original this week. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Don’t let them drag you down to their level. Certain people may just be itching for a fight and you won’t need to do much to pull their trigger. Diffuse tense situations with humor or just walk away in the week ahead.

Get Grilling! Follow These Tips For The Perfect Steak

By Wolfgang Puck Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of the summertime grilling season. With that in mind, I’d like to share my tips for getting the best results when grilling one of my favorite dishes: steak. All of my chefs at my CUT steakhouses (in Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, London, Bahrain, Singapore and New York City) follow these lessons. First and most important, find the best butcher shop in your area and get to know the people working there. You want butchers who hand-select their meat and help you choose the best cut. If you don’t start with good-quality, tender, flavorful meat, you and your guests won’t be happy with the results no matter how you cook it. Next, get to know your cuts of steak and varieties of beef available. The options are too many to detail here, but you can talk with your butcher about the relative merits of different choices, and you can read about them online. For example, I personally like to use dry-aged beef, which has a more concentrated flavor, for a rich, fat-laced bone-in rib-eye steak, also known by the French term cote de boeuf. Some people favor a boneless filet mignon, prized for its exceptional tenderness and juiciness, while others prefer a finer-textured and slightly firmer New York strip steak, also known as top sirloin. For the best of both worlds, I often like to prepare large bone-in steaks like the porterhouse, also known as a T-bone, which has juicy tenderloin on one side of the bone and firmer filet on the other. Another key to great grilled steak is to let it come to room temperature before putting it on the fire, for even cooking. Then, just before it goes on the grill, I rub it with some olive oil to help keep it moist, promote browning and prevent sticking; and I season it just before cooking, so the salt won’t have time to draw out the meat’s juices. I cook the meat just to the medium-rare stage, still deep pink in the middle; to me, doing this maximizes the flavor, texture and juiciness. And I always let the steak rest 10 minutes before cutting into it, allowing time for the meat’s fibers to reabsorb the hot, bubbling juices. Finally, I steer clear of complicated sauces. In the following recipe, for example, I simply spoon a little garlic-thyme butter over the meat just before serving, and sprinkle on a little fleur de sel, delicate little petals of sea salt you can find in well-stocked supermarkets. Please try this recipe for yourself, and you’ll enjoy great steak all summer long, whatever cut you choose. Happy grilling!

GRILLED PORTERHOUSE STEAKS WITH GARLIC-THYME BUTTER Serves 4 2 porterhouse steaks, each about 34 ounces (960 g) 1/4 cup (60 mL) extra-virgin olive oil 4 tablespoons kosher salt 4 tablespoons coarsely cracked black peppercorns 8 tablespoons unsalted butter 8 garlic cloves, crushed and peeled 6 sprigs fresh thyme 2 tablespoons fleur de sel Freshly ground black pepper Build a fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill for direct-heat cooking. Meanwhile, remove the steaks from the refrigerator, place them on a platter or tray, and leave them to rest at room temperature for at least 25 minutes. When the grill is hot, if using charcoals, arrange the coals in an even bed and set the grill grid over the coals. Rub the steaks on both sides with the olive oil. Holding the salt about 10 inches (25 cm) above the steaks, season them evenly on both sides. Then, season them the same way with the cracked peppercorns. As soon as you have seasoned the steaks, place them on the cooking grid and grill until evenly, deeply browned, 10 to 12 minutes on each side for medium-rare; to give them a diamond-shaped pattern of grill marks, rotate them once a quarter turn halfway through the cooking time on each side. To test the meat for doneness, use an instant-read grilling thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest part not touching bone. The temperature should read about 145 F (63 C). As soon as the steaks are done, transfer them to a clean platter, cover with aluminum foil, and leave to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. While the steaks rest, in a saucepan on the cooler edge of the grill or a burner on the stovetop over medium heat, melt the butter with the garlic cloves and thyme. Remove from the heat, cover, and keep warm. Set aside. To carve the steaks, transfer them to a carving board. Use a sharp knife to cut the meat in a single piece from both sides of the bone. Then, perpendicular to the bone edge of each piece, cut it vertically into slices about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Evenly divide the meat from both sides of the steaks evenly among four heated serving plates. Spoon the garlic-thyme butter over the meat and sprinkle lightly but evenly with the fleur de sel and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
