NRC: OYSTER CREEK HAD SAFE YEAR

By Chris Lundy STAFFORD – The Nuclear Reg ulator y Commission said that the Oyster Creek Generating Station operated safely in the last year, during an annual meeting to address safety with the public.

T he meeti ng 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 fi ndings 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 fi ndings 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 fi nding.

State: Beaches, Shore, Ready For Summer

By Judy Smestad-Nunn JERSEY SHORE – Tourism contributed some $44 billion to the New Jersey economy i n 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 Je r sey Se a G r a nt 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.”

Officials Study “Dangerous” Rt. 9, Barnegat Blvd.Intersection

–Photos by Chris Lundy Officials are concerned about a high volume of crashes at the intersection of Route 9 and Barnegat Boulevard. There is an open field near the intersection that some officials want to see carved into a dedicated right turn lane.

By Chris Lundy BARNEGAT – Township officials are studying the intersection of Route 9 and Barnegat Boulevard, stating it is dangerous and would like to see it changed.

Committeeman John

Novak asked the police to evaluate the intersection during the a Township Committee meeting. When he did so, several residents in attendance spoke out in agreement that it is dangerous.

“I take that way home every day from Toms River and every single day I see a near-miss there,” he said.

The issue, he said, is regarding the southbound lanes. As vehicles are heading south

past the TD Bank, there is one lane for going right on Barnegat Boulevard, and the other lane is for both straight traffic and those turning left onto Bayshore Drive.

Stafford Cops Can Now Bring Addicts To Rehab

By Sara Grillo STAFFORD – After extensive planning by Stafford Police Chief Thomas Dellane, the Stafford Township Police Department will now join Brick Police and Manchester Police in an important program in the fight against the state opioid epidemic and rising drug use.

Formerly known as HARP, which stands for Heroin Addiction Response Program, the program has also been renamed to “Blue HART,” which translates to Blue Heroin Addiction Recovery & Treatment Program.

The initiative began in early January and was (Rehab - See Page 5)

Beaches:

Continued From Page 1 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

601 Rt. 72 East • Manahawkin 609-549-3146

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.

Dr. Miller said that due to the sea level rise “nuisance flooding” has become more commonplace during high tides and full moons.

“There are studies underway. We’re doing work on back-bay areas and we might need to bolster some projects there,” he said.

Some of the engineering projects would include raising roads, creating berms, building bulkheads, pump stations, and more, he said.

“We have to think and plan long term to minimize impacts,” Miller said. “We can handle sea level rise for the moment. Although if there’s a catastrophe and the ice sheets melt, there would be a whole new scenario.”

Martin said that over the past several years the DEP has partnered with the Army Corps of Engineers on a number of post-Sandy coastal projects, including: $211 million for Union Beach. Phase 1 started in February, which created a new beach and dune system, including two groins. Phase 2 includes building flood walls with a completion date of November 2022. $105 million for Port Monmouth. New flood walls should be completed there by November 2020. $30 million for Sea Bright. A new sea wall is 90 percent completed as of May, and pre-Sandy gaps in the wall were removed. $140 million for ocean beaches in Monmouth

County. The beach and dune replenishment project started three years ago, and should be completed by June 2017. $128 million for the ocean beaches in northern Ocean County. Martin said the project was supposed to start on Sunday May 28 with dredging starting in Ortley Beach. The multiple-phase project should be completed by June 2018, he said. The beach and dune replenishment project would provide 14 miles of coastal protection from Point Pleasant Beach to Island Beach State Park, and it would be the largest project ever done in New Jersey, Martin said. $151 million for Long Beach Island. The dune and beach replenishment project was completed in December 2016. $31 million in Atlantic City for a seawall, and $11 million for boardwalk construction. The completion date is set for March 2018. $64 million for Absecon Island, where a dune and beach replenishment program started two weeks ago. $97 million for multiple projects for Ocean City which would have “full coastal protection” by June 2016. $64 million for Stone Harbor, where rebuilt berms offering full coastal protection would be completed by November 2017. $14 million for Cape May City, where beach nourishment was completed last month.

Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club Jeff Tittel attended the media event and said New Jersey is not responding to the environmental needs of the shore in any real way. For example, they are not planning. mitigating or adapting to sea level rise.

“The sea walls are a false hope, and the dunes (Beaches - See Page 5)

they are building are not real dunes. A berm is not a dune, and the next big nor’easter will wash them all away,” Tittel said after the presentation.

He said the planned dune and beach replenishment project would only make back bay flooding worse.

“They are taking away the sandbars in the ocean, which makes the waves get bigger and pushes more water into the bays,” Tittel said.

“The New Jersey coast is facing some very serious problems,” he said.

In a press release, the Sierra Club said that the testing of beaches on a Monday leaves five days of untested water before the weekend, when most people swim. There is less money for testing, so the water is tested less and the beachgoers are ill-informed.

“Photo ops and press events do not make up for weakening environmental standards and the failure to protect our coasts,” Tittel said in the press release. “New Jersey’s way of dealing with the coast is just pumping more sand on the beach that will wash out in the next storm. They have no real plan to protect our coasts. We want people to go to the shore and not have to worry about the potential for illness. We want coastal communities to be able to be resilient against climate change. We want to have healthy ecosystems in our waterways. We want to make sure we have clean water for the people who use our beaches. We hope we have a very good summer season, but unless we start changing our policies and working to protect our shores, we’re putting New Jersey’s entire coastal environment and economy at risk.”

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 off light for their mistakes.

He said it undermines the NRC’s credibility that they don’t fi ne 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 fi nd 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 fine Oyster Creek when the safety fi ndings were not very serious, particularly because staff responded and got the issues fi xed.

Bill White, another local resident, said he was a chief technical engineer at another plant. He said while he is a fan of the nuclear industry, he is glad to see Oyster Creek shutting down.

“An aging plant is not good for the industry and the country,” he said.

He wanted to know about how the coolant systems worked, and seemed satisfied with the answer he was given.

These two residents were the only ones who commented at the meeting. Interestingly, when they questioned Oyster Creek’s safety, Oyster Creek employees did not respond. NRC answered the questions.

“It’s our meeting,” Neil Sheehan, spokesman for the NRC, said after the meeting.

“They have an option to answer, but we don’t require them to answer.”

“It’s not our intention to defend” Oyster Creek from criticism, he explained. The responses were factual statements as to the safety features and policies observed by inspectors.

“This is the NRC’s meeting and we welcome this kind of forum,” said Suzanne D’Ambrosio, spokesperson for Exelon, the company that owns Oyster Creek.

“It’s an aging plant. Oyster Creek is 47 years old. It’s always been well maintained. The age is strictly a number,” she said.

Stafford Police is teamed up with Ocean Mental Health in Manahawkin and Bayville to provide addiction treatment services to participants in the program. Brick Police works with Preferred Behavioral Health in Lakewood and Manchester Police works with Integrity House in Toms River.

The goal of the Blue HART program is to reduce the influence of heroin and opiate abuse in the community. Although the program is designed for addicted individuals to voluntarily show up to police headquarters and request help, any officer who encounters a person in the community who they believe would benefit from the Blue HART program has the authority to bring that individual into police headquarters, provided they agree to the voluntary screening process.

In a statement, Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato said, “To date, Brick and Manchester Police Departments have accounted for over 160 participants accepted into the program thanks to the generous commitment of Behavioral Health and Integrity House.

Bringing the partnership of Stafford PD and Ocean Mental Health into the program is a great step in expanding options to those in Ocean County seeking addiction help.”

9th District Legislators Sign Onto Superstorm Sandy “Clawback” Bill To Assist Victims CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove

NEW JERSEY – Senator Christopher J. Connors, Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove have all signed onto legislation intended to address circumstances in which Superstorm Sandy victims are required to repay overpay-

NEW JERSEY – Robert Cartwright dedicated a great deal of his life to military service. From 1951 to 1954 he served in the U.S. Marine Corp spending a year in Korea.

Six years after his 1954 discharge, he joined the reserve of the U.S. Marine Corp and was stationed at Naval Airfield Willow Grove, Pennsylvania in charge of the crash crew. He retired in 1999 settling in Lakewood with his wife Rae. But it was an act of heroism four decades ago that was recognized recently by military and Ocean County officials who joined to honor Cartwright with the Navy and Marine Corp Medal given for heroism not involving actual conflict with an armed enemy of the United States.

While Cartwright received a certificate of commendation for his actions in 1978, the medal that was to come with it came to him in the mail in 2015.

“This has been a long time in coming,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “We want to thank you for your actions that day and for your service in active

ments in Sandy assistance aid.

Specifically, the companion legislation, S-3149 and A-4784, concerns adversely impacted homeowners impacted by the “clawback” of Community Disaster Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds

awarded through the Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Elevation and Mitigation Program (RREM) and the Low-to-Moderate Income Homeowner Rebuilding Program (LMI).

The 9th District Delegation issued the following statement regarding its sponsorship of the legislation: “As representatives of a district that was among those hit hardest by Superstorm Sandy, it’s clear to us that demands by the government for repayment of Sandy assistance aid are allowing for persons to be

victimized again. Recently, our Delegation had the opportunity to hear some of the horror stories of ‘clawback’ victims during a recent meeting with the New Jersey Organizing Project.

“Through no fault of their own, certain Sandy victims face the very real prospect of financial ruin. These extreme cases represent government at its worst: a callous bureaucracy that doesn’t hold itself to the same rigorous standards that Sandy victims were held to in the application process to receive assis-

tance. It’s obvious that further protections for Sandy victims need to be enacted.”

Key provisions of S-3149 and A-4784, introduced by Legislative District 15 representatives Senator Shirley Turner (D-15) and Assemblyman Reed Gusciora, respectively, would: • Require the DCA to notify a Sandy-impacted homeowner that has received an overpayment of RREM or LMI funds that must be repaid to the State.

• Provide that a Sandy-impacted homeowner may pay the debt in full in one

lump sum or, if there are insufficient assets, apply for a repayment plan.

• Provide that if a Sandy-impacted homeowner does not have sufficient income, assets, or resources to make payments, the debt, except for any portion that a Sandy-impacted homeowner can pay through disposable assets, will be compromised and considered paid in full.

Permit a Sandy-impacted homeowner to appeal, in writing, the DCA’s determination that they received an over-disbursement of RREM or LMI funds.

Ocean County Man Presented Medal Almost 40 Years After Heroic Action

duty and in the reserve.”

The way he tells the story, the event happened when Cartwright was serving in the reserves in 1977.

“I was a full-time reservist Gunnery Sergeant with the United States Marine Corp. and I was washing my clothes on Aug. 6 1977 at Marine Corp Base, Twentynine Palms, California, when I saw the diesel fuel truck completely engulfed in flames.

“I stood up, grabbed a 50 pound fire extinguisher and headed toward the truck on the airstrip,” said Cartwright.

“I crawled under the truck, put out the fire and went back to washing my clothes.

“I hadn’t given it a second thought,” Cartwright said.

But the men he was stationed with saw the heroism in Cartwright’s actions and requested he be recognized.

In 1978, Cartwright received a Certificate of Commendation from the United States Marine Corp. for outstanding achievement recognizing his actions a year earlier.

The certificate reads: “upon learning that a diesel refueler truck had caught fire on the airstrip, Gunnery Sergeant Cartwright picked up

a chemical fire extinguisher, and without regard for his own safety and fully aware of the personal dangers involved, unhesitatingly ran to the burning truck, crawled underneath it, and put out the fire.

“His courageous and prompt actions in the face of great personal risk averted a massive explosion and fire that could have cost numerous lives and caused considerable damage,” the certificate reads. “Gunnery Sergeant Cartwright’s presence of mind, striking courage, and coolness reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Marine Corp.”

As Cartwright continued up the ranks of the Marine Corps Reserve, he later learned his actions also resulted in him being the recipient of the Navy and Marine Corps Medal. That medal came in the mail in January of 2015.

Recently at the Ocean County Administration Building, Cartwright was joined by Freeholder Director Vicari, John Dorrity, Director of the Ocean County Veterans Services Bureau, Ken Hagemann, State Adjutant of the Veterans of Foreign Wars,

“You have made a significant difference in the lives of our veterans,” Vicari said.

Cartwright retired in 1991 from the U.S. Marine Corp Reserve, as a Chief Warrant Officer 4th Class Airfield Services Officer, Crash Crew and Launch and Recovery

Officer.

“He never gave up his service whether in the reserve or as a civilian,” said David Perez, former Commander of VFW Post 6063. “Up until a few months ago he served as a facilitator for veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.”

Cartwright, who serves as chaplain for the Lakewood Police Department is the father of four and the grandfather of 10. He and his wife Rae recently celebrated their

64th wedding anniversary.

He has worked in the field of emergency response as both a police officer and a firefighter.

“More than 60,000 veterans call Ocean County home,” Vicari said. “My colleagues and I on the Board of Freeholders are proud of the men and women from Ocean County who have served and continued to serve in our armed forces.

“Like Mr. Cartwright, they are all heroes,” he said.

LACEY – The Lacey Township Recreation Department is currently taking registration for its Summer in the Parks summer day camp program. This popular program is scheduled to run for seven weeks once again and is sure to provide the youth of Lacey Township with another summer of fun.

The Summer in the Parks day camp program will continue to provide an exciting summer season for many children as they play sports, create arts & crafts, play games and enjoy the park equipment our parks have to offer. There are also theme and movie days scheduled, in addition to trips off-site to amusement parks and a Pirate-themed adventure along the beautiful waterways of New Jersey. All participants are supervised at each location by our fully trained First Aid and CPR staff.

The Summer Parks Program will once again

be offered at three park locations throughout town: Clune Park, Huffy Wallis Park and Hebrew Park. The program will run Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. starting Monday, June 26. Participants must be five years old by the start of the program and seven years old to attend most of our trips.

Registration is underway and you can register in person at the Recreation Office Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or at the camp site of your choice on June 22 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m.

The cost for this camp experience is just $100 per child for the entire summer if you register by June 22. After June 22, the fee increases to $150 per child.

Roads:

Continued From Page 1 People stop to make a left onto Bayshore Drive.

Drivers a few cars back might not realize that person has stopped, he said. This would lead to a rear-end collision. Additionally, when a car is stopped, attempting to make a left turn, a lot of drivers will veer into the other lane to get around that car. This causes a lot of dangerous

situations as well.

He proposes making the left lane a left-turn only lane. The right lane would be a straight lane. Then, he suggests building a third lane that would be only for right turns onto Barnegat Boulevard. That lane would need to be built through a county-owned field at the northwest corner of the road.

Since Route 9 is a state road, and Barnegat Boulevard is a county road, he said he does not

expect change to come quickly.

Lt. Keith Germain said that the police have been very concerned about that intersection as well.

From April of 2014 until April of 2017, there have been 35 motor vehicle crashes there. This amounts to about one a month.

“That’s clearly indicative of an issue,” he said.

Statistics aside, it is an intersection that locals know is dangerous.

None of the crashes were fatal, thankfully, he

said. Most of the crashes occur when vehicles are traveling at a slow speed. However, because it is a crowded area, it can easily become a three- or four-car fender bender.

Making the problem even worse is that any crash there will tie up traffic on busy Route 9.

This leads to an unsafe situation further down the road, he said.

The traffic safety department will be investigating it further, he said.

County To Use Drones To Locate Missing Persons

By Judy Smestad-Nunn OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Sheriff’s Department has a new tool in its arsenal for helping to locate missing people.

Three officers have become certified as Project Lifesaver Drone Operators that will help to find individuals who have conditions like Alzheimer’s, autism and other mental disabilities that make them prone to wandering.

At-risk individuals could be equipped with a personal transmitter worn on their

ankle or wrist, and the trained officers now have the equipment to track the signal to help find the person.

Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said that the three certified officers were chosen for their skills: Officer Carl Wydrozynski is a pilot who f lies BlackHawk helicopters for the Air National Guard; Lt. Joe Green is a drone hobbyist; and Sgt. David Deleeuw, a former civil engineer and self-described “technology geek” works in the crime scene investigative unit at the Sheriff’s

Department.

They had three days of training online and in a classroom where they learned the software, and then they learned how to f ly the drones by performing mock missions.

The officers f ly the drones up to 400 feet, but they have the ability to reach 18,000 feet, explained lead instructor Chris Gibson, who has 22 years of experience operating, teaching and selling drones through his Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company Sentera LLC.

The Project Lifesaver drone can f ly in any weather and can f ly twice as long as other drones, up to 50 minutes, he said.

Operators use a directional antenna that can turn on a pirouette, Gibson said.

The range of the beacon is seven miles, and most “wanderers” are found within a few miles from wherever they left.

The drone could also carry a camera to help locate people who are not wearing a tracking device.

“They are very easy to f ly,” said helicopter pilot Wydrozynski. “This drone can do a lot of things. You can program a f light plan so it can f ly by itself,” he said as he was doing a practice run at the Ocean County Police Academy on May 19.

Gibson, the instructor, agreed with him.

“For example, you could program it to do a mapping mission or document a forest fire, f lood or traffic accident,” he explained. “The officer is still in control, but he can just watch while he’s doing something else.”

Ocean County has been using drones for law enforcement since 2014 and now the Sheriff’s Department has five drones and one underwater drone that all have different sets of requirements, Gibson said.

Mastronardy said that before the FAA changed the rules, drone operators needed to have a pilot’s license, even for law enforcement use.

Drones can be used by the Office of Emergency Management for before and after coastal storms, Mastronardy said.

They can also be used for search and rescue missions, traffic control, crowd control, and much more.

Project Lifesaver trainer Gary Reynolds said he travels to all 50 states to teach the technology to police officers and firefighters and how to interact with special needs people.

Reynolds, who is a police officer from Lynchburg, VA, said that there are only two police departments in the world utilizing this tech nolog y: Somerset County Sheriff’s Department, and now the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department.

“We hope that within the next year it will become a nationwide,” Reynolds said.

The cost of the Project Lifesaver drone was $48,000 and $7,500 for training. The first drone purchased by the Sheriff’s Department was paid for by the Ocean County Sheriff’s Foundation, and the others were supported by the Sheriff’s Department Budget, approved by the Board of Freeholders, said Mastronardy.

Hearing Aids For Sale

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.

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

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.

Dear Joel

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.

Two Motorcycles Collide With Pickup Truck On Route 9 In Stafford

STAFFORD – On May 17 at approximately 8:50 p.m., the Stafford Township Police Department responded to a motor vehicle accident that involved a pickup truck colliding with two motorcycles. The two motorcyclists were hospitalized with internal injuries.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the pickup truck being driven by 20-yearold Joseph Zargo of Monroe Township was traveling north on Route 9 approaching the Oxycocus Elementary School. As it approached the school, it attempted a left hand turn into the school’s parking lot when two motorcycles - one being driven by 23-year-old Ryan Johnson of Manahawkin and one being driven by 27-year-old Anthony Coon of West Creek - traveling south on Route 9 struck the passenger’s side of the pickup truck.

Coon sustained significant internal injuries

as a result of this crash and was flown to the Atlantic City Trauma Center by Penn STAR 2. Johnson also sustained internal injuries and was transported to the Southern Ocean Medical Center. Zargo did not sustain any injuries as a result of the crash.

As a result of the impact, both motorcycles had to be towed from the scene.

Traffic on Route 9 was stopped and rerouted around the scene for approximately two hours.

Assisting on scene were the Stafford Township Volunteer EMS and the Stafford Township Fire Department.

Zargo received a summons for Careless Driving, but the accident is still under investigation

by Ptl. Jillson of the Stafford Township Police Department.

If anyone witnessed or has additional information regarding this accident, please contact Ptl. Jillson at 609-597-8581, ext. 8446.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

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.

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. Founded in 1985, Bartley Healthcare has long been recognized as an award winning, quality leader with the experience in memory care, skilled nursing, post-acute care, and assisted living.

Program Helps Low Income Ocean County Residents With Home Repairs

OCEAN COUNTY – A unique assistance program called “Hands For All” serves the community by making critically needed emergency repairs on homes owned by low and moderate income families who can’t afford to get the work done by themselves. Leaking roofs, plumbing issues, no heat and accessibility issues are some of the daily issues that this program addresses for those in need.

“We believe that everyone deserves a safe and secure place to live. More and more of our neighbors, friends and family – especially seniors, disabled persons and veterans – are experiencing financial difficulties.

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.
