By Sara Grillo HOWELL – Seventh grade science teacher Josh Langenberger was full of pride at a recent Board of Education meeting while recognizing several students who became finalists in a recent STEAM Tank competition. ST EA M – wh ich st ands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math – is more fun than traditional learning styles,
and makes more sense to all types of learners because it’s based on the natural ways that children learn and are interested in things. “Tonight is a wonderful opportunity to recognize some of our ama zi ng st udents,” said Langenberger, although he added that they almost didn’t make it to the meeting.

Freeholders Open New Fire Training Facility On Route 33
HOWELL – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders recently cut the ribbon to open a new Fire Training Facility at the County’s Fire Academy on Route 33 in Freehold. “Our new 4,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art training facility will serve the needs of thousands of firefighting personnel who participate in handson drills at the Academy annually,” said Freeholder Deputy Director John P. Curley. “The building provides 360 degree access for fire personnel, ladders and fire trucks. I have no doubt that the 10,000 men and women who utilize this facility annually will be able to meet the increasing requirements of firefighter training.” Located at the rear of the Fire Academy property, the primary structure

includes a four-story training tower, a two-story section designed to mimic a retail and residential building layout, and a single-story annex with flat and sloped roof sections to allow for simulation of various fire conditions. The building’s interior includes burn rooms and props to simulate actual fire situations. The building has several rooms specifically designed for burning materials which will produce smoke for the training exercises. Each burn room is lined with panels specifically designed to withstand high temperatures. “Movable interior partitions make customized training scenarios (Facility - See Page 17)

Continued From Page 1 he said. “As important as ‘foodbank’ is to the organization’s history, it was getting in the way of us telling that story.” It doesn’t mean the nonprofit is shelling out less food, it just means their mission is now more targeted toward specific needs – such as those of children and seniors – and more accurately ref lects all of its programs, not just those that involve emergency food. So what exactly are the other programs Fulfill offers the community? • Nutritious food distribution • Kids’ feeding programs • Mobile and pediatric pantries • Free tax preparation • SNA P and healthcare en roll ment assistance • Culinary job training and placement Rodriguez said the tax program had a phe nome nal sea son. T he se r v ice provides free, electronic tax filing for low- and moderate-income individuals and families through the help of IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers. Another program that’s thriving is the culinary skills training program, which has so far helped nearly 300 adults gain permanent employment in the hospitality industry. The program provides 13 weeks of onsite food training by an executive chef, job shadowing at local restaurants and an opportunity to receive industry certifications. Classes
are held at both Fulfill in Neptune and the B.E.A.T. Center in Toms River, where their sauté skills often translate into meals served at the JBJ Soul Kitchen, which is also located in the Center. Rodriguez said it’s still about filling the plate and making bellies full, but it’s also about looking beyond that, to what we can do to get families back on their feet. Most people are aware that Fulfill has two facilities in Neptune and Toms River, but the organization is also teamed up with 300 feeding partners throughout Ocean and Monmouth Counties, such as churches and senior centers, that serve as local food pantries or soup kitchens. To locate one, visit fulfillnj. org/get-help/locate-a-pantry. “Our vision is to really grow,” said Rodriguez. Together with these feeding partners, Fulfill reaches 10 percent of the population in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, which adds up to over 130,000 people. This is a f igure of pride for Rodriguez, but he still wonders what else can be done, especially in such a suburban community, where people don’t necessarily expect hunger to be an issue. “We’re doing more programing that gets at the question of why people in this community can’t access the food that’s all around us,” he said. To learn about programs at Fulfill or find out ways to volunteer, visit fulfill nj.org or call 732-918-2600.

Lighthouse International Film Festival Now Playing In Virtual Reality
By Sara Grillo LONG BEACH ISLAND – Why just go see a movie, when you can experience it in virtual reality? The Lighthouse International Film Festival (LIFF) runs from June 8 to 11 on Long Beach Island, and for the first time ever, is showing five of its over 85 films in virtual reality. Films being shown in VR Include: • Chasing Coral: The VR Experience (Jeff Orlowski) • Old Friend (Tyler Hurd) • Mio Garden VR Experience (Tom Westerlin) • The Night Cafe (Mac Cauley) • The Rose and I (Penrose Studios) If you’ve ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes of a movie or in the audition room, there will also be a special casting panel “How To Cast A Hit: Q&A Panel With Film & TV’s Top Casting Directors.” Attendees can ask questions to a panel of TV and film’s lead casting directors, including Allison Estrin (Still Alice, Billions), Henry Russel Bergstein (How To Talk To Girls At Parties, Mozart In The Jungle) and Paul Schnee (Spotlight, Winters Bone). The LIFF will show 27 features and 55 short films in its 9th year, starting
with a kick-off screening of King of Peking on June 8 at the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts & Sciences, which LIFF Executive Director Eric Johnson describes as a “fun, funny, sweet” film. Set in 1990s Beijing, China, Johnson said, “It’s about a father who thinks the best way to bond with his 10-year-old son is to bring him into the family DVD bootlegging business.” The film’s director Sam Voutas will also be at the screening for a Q&A. Another event to be on the lookout for is Breakfast with the Filmmakers on Saturday and Sunday, where many LIFF pass holders decide on which films to go see based on how directors talk about their movies and what piques their interest. Created in 2008 by a group of filmmakers, film critics and film industry professionals, the Lighthouse International Film Festival celebrates three days of features, shorts, documentaries and family films from around the world in honor of Long Beach Island’s historic Barnegat Lighthouse. An All Access Pass is needed to attend the virtual reality film screenings and casting panel. To purchase one, visit lighthousefilmfestival.org.

HOWELL – On May 24, two Howell police officers graduated from the Monmouth County Police Academy. Patrolwoman Stephanie Regina was a trooper for three years with the Maryland State Police. She had to complete the entire police academy to become certified in New Jersey. This shows how dedicated she is to returning back home to be a police officer in Howell.
Officer Matt Niebling is the first part-time officer sent to the academy in over 15 years. He joins the ranks of Howell’s other Special Law Enforcement Officers II. He will have full police powers while on the job. Matt will now begin his three month field training. Due to her experience, Stephanie will be in a modified field training to understand Howell’s policies and procedures.
Freehold Township High School Raised Over $1,600 For CentraState’s Pediatric Ward

FREEHOLD – The Freehold Township High School community recently surpassed last year’s “Coins for Kids” fundraising efforts to benefit the pediatric wing of CentraState Medical Center. Starting in January and ending the day before spring break, buckets brought around by Peer Leaders were available in the school’s cafeteria for anyone to drop in their spare change. All that spare change added up, resulting in $1,638.30 raised for the CentraState Healthcare Foundation. This year’s funds, $331 over last year’s
total, will be used to purchase new televisions for the pediatric ward. The CentraState Healthcare Foundation rewarded the top collecting Peer Leadership teams with “Coins for Kids” t-shirts designed by one of Freehold Township’s students. They also presented school officials with a plaque to be displayed at the school. The “Coins for Kids” initiative was created by Health & Physical Education teacher Frank Gualtieri and coordinated through the Peer Leadership program, led by advisor Sean Leahy.

Monmouth County Family Donates Service Dog To Wounded Warrior
Finally, An Original Musical
–Photo courtesy Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund Wounded warrior Justin with his new service dog Scout. HOLMDEL – Thanks to the generous support of an anonymous donor in Monmouth County, the Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund was instrumental in providing a specially trained service dog named Scout to wounded warrior Justin to help him move forward with his life after suffering a traumatic brain injury. Scout was trained at K9s for Warriors in Ponte Vedre, Florida for six months and spent three weeks at the school living with his new partner Justin. They will take their last test prior to graduation, and Scout will be officially certified under the American Disabilities Act. Scout and his warrior will graduate on May 18. “This donation is possible thanks to the generous support we received from a very caring family in Monmouth County, who wish to remain anonymous,” said Marion Zilinski, co-founder of the Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial Fund. “We wish Scout and Justin success, health and much happiness together,” said Zilinski. “The continued support of the public is critical to the continuance of our success in aiding our wounded warriors.” The organization’s next big fundraising event is the K9 Sgt. Denny Dog Walk on June 3 at the NJ Army National Guard Training Center in Sea Girt. To join, visit runwithdennis.org or request a personal invitation by emailing runwithdennis@yahoo. com. The Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski Memorial Fund
provides care and support for those serving our country and their families. The Sgt. Denny Project has sponsored 43 service dogs to date, at a cost of approximately $15,000 per dog. The program is named for Sgt. Denny, a twoyear-old German shepherd who was stationed in Afghanistan with his handler. For those returning home from combat, the transition back into society can be overwhelming. The hyper-vigilance and hyper-reactivity to situations, sensations, sounds and smells that kept them alive in the war zone often continues despite the peace of civilian life. Service dogs are trained to help wounded warriors with many of the fight or flight reactions and health issues they face upon returning home from combat. The Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski, II Memorial was created and founded in 2006 to honor Lt. Zilinski’s memory and spirit for life. The Fund sponsors programs for injured soldiers and scholarships to Lt. Zilinski’s alma mater, Christian Brothers Academy. The Fund provides support to improve the morale and welfare of members of the United States Armed Forces and their families. Additionally, by providing scholarships, the Fund invests in the future of high school students who embody the leadership qualities and community spirit of Lt. Zilinski. Additional donations may be sent to: Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski Memorial Fund, PO Box 35, Holmdel, NJ 07733.

Stockton Student Spending 8 Weeks In South Africa On State Department Scholarship
NEW JERSEY – Stockton University student Mahalia Bazile will be staying with a family for part of the eight weeks she is spending this summer, nearly 8,000 miles from her New Jersey home. Bazile won the U.S. Department of State’s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship
and left her hometown of Newark for Cape Town, South Africa earlier this month. “I love it here!” she said in a recent email. “I wanted to travel to South Africa to learn indigenous languages and culture, because, as a black person in predominantly white institutions, I want to understand the history and
cultural value that lies in Cape Town,” she said. “In times of increased cultural misunderstandings and racial tensions, I am deeply interested in learning about South African social culture after apartheid, to build and gain through interpersonal experience a more inclusive and global perspective of the world and its agents.”
Bazile, a Communications major with math and political science minors, will be a senior in the fall. “I set myself out to be well rounded in my academic career, but most importantly, my way of thinking,” she said “This is in the hope of one day becoming a news executive producer, or possibly a commentator, to take charge of the narrative and relay facts to the people that represent them and their interests.” At Stockton, she served as a student senator in her freshman and sophomore years. She joined the Unified Black Students Society (UBSS) as a freshman, subsequently becoming secretary, then vice president and now president. She is also active in Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. “My chapter - Phi Mu, has meant so much to me and has played such an incredible role in my time here at Stockton,” she said. She plans to learn some of the indigenous languages such as Afrikaans or Xhosa, and to play traditional instruments including the uhadi, a mouth bow. She is looking forward to learning cultural dances such as the Isicathulo, in which dancers stamp the ground wearing “gumboots,” or wellingtons, all in one of the world’s most multicultural cities. “Stockton has provided me with unique opportunities to shine and grow in my abilities as a student and soon to be working professional,” Bazile said. She started as an Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) student and now works mentoring other students in the Coordinated Actions to Retain and Educate (CARE) program. “In my time here I have gotten to know the diverse stories of students and faculty that continue to motivate me to seek adventure as well as knowledge. I have gotten the opportunity to be on Student Senate, a Residential Assistant, and now president of UBSS, and these positions have made me cherish Stockton all the more,” Bazile said. This trip is another step on her journey. “I care dearly about developing connections with people through valuing our differences,” she said. “I encourage myself and others to learn more about how to value and appreciate people for their identity. I believe we cannot limit ourselves to the social norms or pressures that seem so commonplace in our society. This goes for racial differences, cultural differences, differences in sexual orientations or religion – the list goes on. “What matters is for us to learn from our history in how poorly we’ve handled difference, reconcile with it, and learn from it to ensure we move forward in a positive direction.” Bazile is working on developing a blog, so check later for posts about her trip on: onestepfromtheheart.tumblr.com The U.S. Department of State’s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship is a grant program enabling students of limited means to study or intern abroad and gain skills that support the nation’s security and economic competitiveness. Gilman, a Republican congressman from New York who died in 2016, focused on foreign policy throughout his 30 years of service. For more information about Stockton University, visit stockton.edu.

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Should The Government Control Your Latte? By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. It’s so sad, and breaks my heart that a 16-year-old boy died from an arrhythmia that occurred from ingesting too many caffeinated stimulants. According to the news, the lethal combination included a large Mountain Dew, a latte from McDonald’s and an energy drink, all within two hours. Just FYI, most energy shots contain guarana and ginseng or other stimulants. The tragedy has increased awareness for many families as well as regulatory agencies. Should health agencies regulate the amount of caffeine put into coffee and energy drinks, in the same manner that they do tobacco? They are even considering restrictions and a ban. I don’t want the Establishment having any say-so about the amount of caffeine in my caramel macchiato or Red Bull. It’s understood when I drink one of these or take a Vivarin, or whatever my choice is, that I’m going to feel a jolt. Last week, I tried pure Coffeeberry Fruit extract and consumed what amounted to at least 800mg all at once. My head buzzed for a few hours, and I was nauseous but I am used to caffeine, so I knew I would be okay. I think it’s horrible that certain companies have marketing campaigns aimed directly at children. I also think the manufacturers of these beverages should take some blame and they should stop increasing caffeine levels just to get a jump on their competitor and come up with their next marketing shtick. And there is some personal accountability just as there is with alcohol. When

you drink too much alcohol, there is a natural consequence of feeling sick and hungover. Perhaps the consequence is not so obvious with caffeine. One challenge that parents face is that cappuccinos, energy shots, Mountain Dew and others are all legal substances (and they should be) so abuse of them is uncomplicated due to easy access. How Do You Feel? 1. Is caffeine a strong and potentially dangerous stimulant or not? 2. Does caffeine impact certain people worse than another, such as children or the elderly, or those with vascular compromise (known or unknown). Would you like to share your opini o n ? Wr i t e m e a t s u z y c o h e n . c o m , as I’d love to know your thoughts. I have a pharmacist’s perspective so for me, #1 is “no” because pure caffeine doesn’t even come close to prescription ADHD stimulants such as methylphenidate or the famous combo drug, which consists of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. Amphetamine is known on the street as “speed” or “whizz.” These drugs are dispensed to children by the millions on a daily basis and suddenly a Monster’s a problem?! Or a Mocha Latte? Do you truly get what I’m saying here? The answer to #2 is “yes,” caffeine is metabolized more slowly by all the above groups and will raise blood pressure and cause arrhythmias more frequently. Have open conversations with your kids about this, because their peers are encouraging abuse of these drinks in order to increase alertness and ‘smartness’ before exams. It’s sad but true.

MIDDLETOWN – Husband and father Alexander John Goldenberg did not die from colon cancer – he lived it, painting prolifically throughout illness. After his diagnosis in May 2014, Alex took to his studio to do what he loved most – create. Painting was a vital force for the Red Bank artist; as for him, it meant “a life worth living.” It has been one year since his passing, and now his family is celebrating his life and work with an art exhibit on view June 1 through June 24 at the Middletown Public Library, 55 New Monmouth Road. A reception, open to the public, will be held on June 24 from 12 to 1:30 p.m. “Alex’s story is extraordinary,” said his wife Donna Panarello. “He truly owned being an artist and followed his dream to paint bigger, bolder, brighter. And he did it because he had cancer, he used cancer as a turning point to create a life he loved.” Followi ng many hospit alizat ions, including three ICU visits, he always returned to painting, amassing a large collection of work that tells the story of a man who lived his passion, not cancer. Alex found strength and endurance after 12 to 13 months of chemo, transporting his most acclaimed piece, entitled “Bad Girl,” a seven-foot by four-foot painting on wooden panel, 1,600 miles by car in torrential rain, only stopping to rest and sleep for a few hours on his way to Grand
Rapids, Michigan where the work was on display at ArtPrize. T he painting “Bad Gi rl” outlines his healing journey. In the painting’s description for ArtPrize, Alex wrote, “’Bad Girl’ started out as a dysfunctional relationship metaphor for chemotherapy, but as I worked on it, I realized that it was really about the transformation and healing that I’ve been going through for the past year.” He went on to say, “Cancer has been and is a part of my life. I am very close to moving on from this disease. It’s possible to come out of an experience with cancer stronger than when you began. I hope this painting will convey that belief.” “This was a man who was vibrant, loving, thoughtful and kind,” said Donna. “Alex once told me, exuberantly, that it was through his painting that he brought his love into the world. The plants surrounded by his paintings are lush and growing as if they can feel that love and vibrant energy coming off his paintings.” Alex’s original paintings range in size and price and prints will be available for purchase during the exhibit. Alex’s wife Donna Panarello can also arrange viewings before the exhibit. For more information, contact Donna at ptdonna@gmail.com. A r t work is also available on l i ne at imagek ind .com/art/stunning/ale x goldenberg/artwork-on/fine-art-prints.

Additionally, the facility provides the Academy with the option of conducting several outdoor firefighting exercises simultaneously. The new facility replaces a two-story concrete block building previously used for fire training. The previous structure was placed out of commission after decades of use and

He told the kids, “get off the bus,” and to text their parents to meet them at North, where the BOE meeting was being held. “I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to recognize these amazing students here tonight.” STEAM Tank is modeled after the popular TV show Shark Tank, where students create innovative projects and present them before a judging panel of entrepreneurs, business leaders and inventors. Langenberger said he offered the opportunity to 24 students in class and formed five teams, three of which were selected to compete in the regional competition in Trenton. Here’s three of the STEAM Tank projects students created: • Flex Ring – Students integrated metal with a polymer that allows a jewelry ring to have a metallic appearance and be flexible enough to come off in an emergency situation.
• Smart Brush Plus – Students used 3D printers to create a prototype and microprocessor that detects how much bacteria is in your mouth while brushing your teeth. It is then synced back to an app accessible by mom or dad to let them know if their children are brushing their teeth properly. • Your Path – What do you want to be when you grow up? What jobs will be left when this generation graduates and enters the workforce? Students created an app that answers these questions, taking data and information based on keywords, searches and interests to help youngsters focus on different career paths and give them idea of where they might want to focus their time and activities. It helps place them in environments and towards opportunities that will lead to success. One of the STEAM Tank judges recommended that the students take their Your Path creation to the Verizon Innovative Learning App Challenge next year. “This is what’s coming out of 7th grade students,” added Langenberger. “I look forward to taking them in October to Atlantic City to give their fi nal presentations, and I’m sure we have a few winners among them.”
Bone is a living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced. When the body loses more bone tissue than it replaces, the result is a disease called osteoporosis. People with osteoporosis have weakened bones, which can increase the risk of serious fractures. Since osteoporosis is not painful in its early stages, many people are unaware that they even have this condition. A simple, non-invasive ultrasound scan of the ankle may be used to measure the amount of calcium and bone minerals present in that area. Low bone density scan results indicate that bone health is not good. The earlier low bone density is detected, the sooner remedial treatments to strengthen bones can begin. People often think of osteoporosis in relation to the spine and hips, but it can also affect your feet. In fact, seemingly unexplained foot fractures may be an early sign of osteoporosis. If you experience unexplained foot pain or fractures from what seems like a harmless event, you should see a podiatrist and your doctor. To schedule an appointment, please call FAMILY FOOT HEALTH CENTER at (732) 370-1100 or see us at 4527 US Highway 9. HINT: Supplements of calcium and vitamin D as well as regular weight-bearing exercise may be recommended for improving bone density.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Michael Deem, Esq. and Robert Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea And Associates
In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act (AICRA) to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices: you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the collision is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide compensation to you and your family if you/they are injured. The Standard Policy does provide medical expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the
collision then you and your family are covered Michael J. Deem for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “ limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: Death, Dismemberment; Significant scarring or disfigurement; Displaced Fractures; Loss of Fetus or a Permanent Injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
What’s In A Name?
Dear Joel, My 14-year-old daughter Lisa is a beautiful child in every way. She’s artistic, loves animals, and is very bright, but recently she announced to the family that she wants to be called “Lavender.” She says it truly expresses who she is. Next month her grandma and grandpa are paying us a visit. Should I tell her to lay off this Lavender thing, or do I prepare her grandparents in advance for this new name? Color Me Confused in Freehold Dear Confused, Oh those artists, they really do see things differently. I’m married to one myself. My wife has never changed her name, but I understand and respect the way she expresses her creativity. I think, as long as your daughter has no self-destructive habits, that you
le t he r b e Lavender. I wou ld t el l her grandparents what’s going on, but I would tell them to play dumb, so she can explain it to them, as I think she wants validation and to talk about what she’s feeling. I would also be sure to call her Lisa or Lisa Lavender from time to time. This way, if she wants to go back to her birth name, she won’t feel awkward doing so; you can just gradually transition back. The teenage years aren’t easy on anyone, and who knows, your daughter may be developing a future persona as an artist or designer. 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

County Clerk: Cover Sheet Needed For Property Filings
FREEHOLD – County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon is warning of a change in the State recording law for all property filings. In compliance with N.J.S.A. 46:26A-5, the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office must require a cover sheet with each individual land document submitted for recording. This change was effective May 1. If an individual submits land documents to the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office for recording via U.S. Mail, Express Mail, Courier Service or in person over the counter, or electronically through our e-recording vendor, a cover sheet is required. The new cover sheet contains mandatory indexing fields, which are to be completed by the submitter. “Due to this change in the law, our office has made the new cover sheet easily accessible on our website, visitmonmouth.com/countyclerk, under “forms and services,” said Clerk Hanlon. “The cover sheet is a PDF form, which can be easily filled in on a personal computer
to be printed out.” Please be advised that the cover sheet is a part of the submitted land record and is included in the calculation of recording fees for documents with booking and paging fees only. There is no additional fee when recording f lat fee instruments. If an individual fails to provide a cover sheet when submitting a land document, a $20 fee for the cost of indexing the document will result, per N.J.S.A. 46:26A-5. If an individual submits a land document without a cover sheet, and does not include an additional $20 for the indexing fee, the document will be rejected and returned. The individual can then resubmit the document with the cover sheet and an additional $10 page fee or with a $20 indexing fee. “We greatly appreciate your cooperation in complying with this new State law,” said Hanlon. If you have any questions, please contact the Monmouth County Clerk’s Recording Division at 732-431-7324, option 4.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 10 - June 16
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Creative energy is at a high point. The practical application of your imaginative ideas, however, could escape your notice in the early part of the week. Focus on fulfilling your dreams. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Tie your timing to the tides of progress. Remember that any low tide is always followed by a high tide. Hold off making key financial decisions in the first few days of the week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Let your business schemes simmer for a few days before putting them into action. The week might begin with a certain amount of confusion but you will quickly get a clear picture. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do less talking and more listening in the week ahead. Pay attention to trusted friends and advisors as you are likely to hear the truth. It is a good week for gathering knowledge and wisdom. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t pretend to be a wallflower if you meet some new friends. The more enthusiasm you show the more enjoyment you will experience this week. Problems at home may tax your ingenuity VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Details may be in the dark until the light dawns later in the week. Someone’s remarks could negatively influence your business sense. Wait a few days before making crucial decisions or taking action.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take another whack at the piñata despite a blindfold. You may be willing to take risks without the benefit of clear vision in the week ahead. There is something good waiting if you can find it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can be fierce about fulfilling your fantasies as this week unfolds. Hold off on making major business and financial decision until midweek when better opportunities may arise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can be matchless or merely mediocre. If something “works” there may still be room for improvement. Make sure all facets of a project are optimized in the week ahead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be inspired by powerful ideas in the week ahead. Bow to traditions and honor conventions in order to achieve your dreams. Don’t step out of line during the next few days. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may struggle to get to the bottom of a confusing financial problem. Once you discover the truth it will be easy to overcome. Get plenty of sleep in the week ahead to offset nervous energy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Disarray and unsightly appearances could undo the aura of harmony that you hope to achieve this week. Keep your affairs organized; make an extra effort to make a good impression.

Work Of Art:Turn Mac And Cheese Into A Canvas For Your Own Culinary Creativity
By Wolfgang Puck With many schools across the country now letting out for summer vacation, family weeknight suppers can sometimes seem as if they’re even more challenging than during the rest of the year. Main dishes call for extra flexibility; after all, you never know how many people, kids or grownups, may show up around the table. Yet you, the cook in charge, also need reliable mainstays you can put together easily, even routinely; dishes everybody loves, yet recipes that are also versatile enough that one never tires of them. With all those requirements in mind, I’m happy to recommend one of my all-time favorites into your weekly menu rotation this summer: macaroni and cheese. As you may know, I’ve gained some fame for the macaroni and cheese I serve to Hollywood’s stars every year at the Governors Ball following the Oscars ceremony. I’ve even shared a basic version of that recipe with readers. And it certainly meets the popularity requirement of your summer rotation. When it comes to versatility, macaroni and cheese is one of the most flexible dishes I know. Just as I like to think of pizzas as blank canvases on which you can paint all kinds of original pictures with different sauces, cheeses and other toppings, so does mac and cheese encourage creativity. Take, for example, the following recipe for macaroni and cheese with wild mushrooms and bacon. In this case, before baking the mixture of al dente pasta and creamy cheese sauce, I fold in crispy applewood-smoked bacon and sauteed wild or cultivated mushrooms, simple additions that dramatically transform the results, creating a robust-tasting casserole. And that’s only the beginning. Instead of the bacon and mushrooms, add chunks of cooked shrimp or lobster or crabmeat, for example, on their own or complemented with strips of roasted bell pepper or slivers of sun-dried tomato. Or stir in bite-sized pieces of leftovers from the previous night’s grilled meal, whether it’s salmon fillet or chicken breast, gourmet sausage or even grilled steak or pork tenderloin. You could also go vegetarian, adding a colorful variety of fresh vegetables that you’ve steamed, sauteed or grilled until al dente. Of course, you could stir in chopped fresh herbs such as basil, chives, parsley or dill; whatever you think best complements the other additions. Or try different combinations of cheese, such as crumbled blue cheese or shredded Gruyere. You don’t even have to use macaroni; instead, substitute other bite-sized pastas such as penne, radiatori or fusilli. In place of the panko breadcrumbs on top, I’ve even see people crumble good-quality potato chips. The possibilities for creativity are almost endless. And the results will always be delightfully different and reliably delicious.
MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH WILD MUSHROOMS AND BACON Serves 8 to 12 8 tablespoons unsalted butter 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 4 cups (1 L) whole milk, heated almost to a boil Kosher salt Freshly ground white pepper Freshly grated nutmeg 2 large egg yolks 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) packed freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1 cup (250 mL) freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 pound (500 g) dried macaroni 3 or 4 thick slices applewood-smoked bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch (6-mm) pieces 2 large shallots, finely chopped 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped 12 to 16 ounces (375 to 500 g) wild mushrooms such as portobellos, chanterelles, shiitakes, creminis or oyster mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed, then cut or torn into 1/2-inch (12-mm) slices or pieces 3/4 cup (185 mL) freshly shredded mozzarella cheese 3/4 cup (185 mL) panko or other coarse dry breadcrumbs Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, make the cheese sauce: In a heavy large saucepan over high heat, melt 6 tablespoons of the butter. Whisking continuously, sprinkle in the flour. Reduce the heat and continue whisking for 1 to 2 minutes, without browning. Still whisking continuously, gradually pour in the milk. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper and a hint of nutmeg. Briskly whisk in the egg yolks. Whisk in 1 cup (250 mL) of the cheddar. Simmer, whisking often, until thick enough to coat a spoon. Whisk in 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the Parmesan. Set aside and keep warm. Add the macaroni to the pot of boiling water and cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. Drain the pasta, rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking, and drain again. Set aside. In a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the bacon until it begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic; saute until the shallots are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until tender, about 6 minutes, adding a little water as necessary. Transfer the pasta to a large mixing bowl. Stir in the bacon-mushroom mixture. Stir in enough sauce to coat the pasta generously. Fold in the remaining Parmesan. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 F (230 C). Butter a 10-to-12-cup (2.5-to-3-l) baking dish. Spread the mixture in the dish. Top with the remaining cheddar, the mozzarella and the panko. Dot with the remaining butter. Bake until bubbling and golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
