Council Supports Bill Banning Real Estate Solicitation

By Jennifer Peacock JACKSON – T he Tow n s h i p C o u n c i l threw its support behind a bill introduced in the state senate which would prohibit real estate agencies and brokers from canvassing or soliciting homeowners.

T h e s e n a t e bi l l , S-3276, was introduced

by Senator Brian P. Stack (D-33), the mayor of Union City, on June 1. Union City has a solicitation code, with permits required and set hours allowed for canvassing.

The six-page bill was

referred to the senate commerce committee.

T hen, at its next meeting, the Township Council showed support for the bill with resolution.

“The bill would prohibit any real estate broker, broker salesperson, salesperson, referral agent, or any person who assumes, a dve r t ises, or re p resents the authority to act as or on behalf of a real estate broker, etc., from engaging in any canvassing or solicitation of homeowners,” (Estate - See Page 5)

Vo-Tech:

Continued From Page 1 on campus. Construction is expected to be completed in 2019.

New Jersey will provide 40 percent of the construction cost, or $10.6 million. The Ocean County Freeholders provided $8 million. OCC allocated $2 million to be used to pay down interest costs if necessary. However, Freeholder John Bar tlett said the county would f loat the bond for the construction of the academy, leaving the college with no direct debt.

According to a press release from Ocean County College, the remaining $8 million will come from a donation from the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation. The fou ndation is a pr ivate family philanthropic fund that supports a variety of healthcare, education, and artistic causes.

“On behalf of Linda and myself and Jeremy and the entire Foundation, we are so proud to suppor t this work,” said Jay Grunin, a co-founder of the foundation, in a release. “It is my audacious hope to create a major cultural hub in New Jersey with this cutting edge academy and the theater on the OCC campus.”

The mission of the Performing Arts Academy is to provide an academically challenging education for creatively gifted high school students, according to the vo-tech.

“The curriculum is rigorous and the

st udents are expected to thin k critically and creatively,” said OCVTS Superintendent William Hoey. “This new academy will benefit both the high school and college students. We will be sharing the classroom space and can use the other amenities at the college.”

Students learn more than just the performing arts at the academy, according to Hoey. They take regular curriculum as well, and there are college preparatory, honors, and advanced placement classes offered.

Space was one concern that prompted the move, but not the only one. Security at the base has increased since OCVTS renovated Hangar 1 to house the Performing Arts Academy, he said.

“It’s more difficult to do things on a secure military base,” he said.

High School And College Students Together By having the high school on the college property, students will have access to college courses and facilities, like the librar y and student center, OCC College President Jon Larson said in a press release.

“Once they complete the academy curriculum, students will be awarded OCC’s associate degree and will be half way to a bachelor’s degree – all for a fraction of the tuition cost of a university degree,” Larson said.

In sharing locations and facilities, there would be high school students spending time with college students.

Hoey said that they don’t anticipate

any issues. There has been a high tech high school on the campus of Brookdale Community College since 1991 without any issues regarding the two age groups mingling.

Students will have an option to pursue an Associate’s degree upon graduation.

This means that they would be starting a four-year college as a junior. Would they be emotionally mature enough at

age 17 or 18 to be taking on junior-level courses and interacting with other juniors and seniors?

“It’s certainly a concern,” Hoey said.

He added that the vo-tech has connections with Rutgers University and other schools so that st udents are getting their credits and moving on to those.

They haven’t seen problems with those students when they move on.

Continued From Page 1 Councilman Rob Nixon said. “For many, many months, we’ve been wrestling with the issue of real estate agents going door to door harassing our residents, walking up their driveways even if they’re on our no-knock list. What we’ve said many, many times is, we have certain powers under state law, but we don’t have the power to ban certain activities. This is the legislature taking a step to put a nail in that coffin once and for all.”

Nixon continued: “What the council would be doing now is adopting a resolution urging the legislature to take that up. I know I personally plan on speaking with the sponsor on our issues.”

Jackson Township has its own noknock registry and solicitation code.

There are nearly 2,400 homes on the registry. Clerk Ann Marie Eden said no-

The Jackson Times, June 24, 2017, Page 5 knock applications are now at a trickle, with less than 30 coming in between April and May. Back in May, Nixon said he wanted to look into ways to deter violators of the ordinance.

“Lately I’ve become aware of at least three violations to the no-knock ordinance of people who are on the noknock list. Apparently the [real estate agents] are not getting the message,” Nixon said. “Whatever we can do to get the word out to our residents, that this is an option for them, and try to convince the [real estate] community that we have law they have to follow, I think we should get the word out.”

Nixon said he wants to work with legal counsel to “find more ways to send a message to [real estate agents] that we’re not joking about this, and that it is unacceptable to get on the no-knock list, be given the no-knock list, and the

proceed to walk up somebody’s driveway and ask them if they want to sell their house.

“I don’t know how much more clear we can be about that,” Nixon said.

Councilman Scott Martin had said he will work with Nixon and municipal attorney Jean Cipriani on ways to strengthen penalties for defying the law.

Now, with the senate bill introduced, the township will support that measure in the state to stop real estate agents from harassing homeowners.

Residents can add their addresses to the township’s no-k nock registr y through mail, in person or online. The township then gives the homeowner a decal to place conspicuously on their property, usually on the home’s front door. Once that home is on the list, it stays on until that resident, or new owner of that property, removes the address. The list is updated monthly.

Being on the list prevents commercial solicitors—political and religious canvassers are exempt—from canvassing that home, even if the homeowner is in their driveway or on their front lawn.

The registry cannot prevent solicitors from calling, texting, or sending mail to residents.

Solicitors must register with the township clerk’s office monthly, providing a list of streets where they will canvass.

They are provided the no-knock registry, and can only canvass homes not on that registry. They are permitted to canvass 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and noon to 2 p.m. Sunday.

Anyone on the list who is approached by a solicitor is asked to contact the Jackson Police Department to report the violation. Violators are subject to permit revocation and fines up to $1,250 for the first offense, and possible jail time.

five years.”

According to Investopedia, “a capital improvement is the addition of a permanent structural change or the restoration of some aspect of a property that will either enhance the property’s overall value, increases its useful life or adapts it to a new use.”

State law specifies that such bonds can only be issued for items that have a usefulness that is five years or more.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials

Dancer Resolution Urges Congress To Repeal ‘Widow’s Tax’ On Military Survivors Capitol Comments Assemblyman Ronald Dancer 12th Legislative District, Serving Jackson

NEW JERSEY – Assemblyman Ron Dancer has

introduced a resolution urging Congress to repeal

the widow’s tax forcing thousands of military survivors to forfeit their earned benefits.

Survivors of service members killed on active duty can receive benefits from two sources: dependent compensation from Veterans Affairs, and an annuity through the Department of

Defense.

For survivors receiving benefits from both programs, the gover n ment requires reducing benefits more than $1,200 per month, or $15,000 annually.

“The widow’s tax is an insult to those who have lost loved ones in defense of our freedom,” said Dancer (R—

Ocean). “It’s about time the federal government did the right thing and put an end to this heartless policy. Survivors deserve every dollar of the benefits.”

D a n c e r’s r e s olu t io n (AR245) calls on Congress to enact the Military Surviving Spouses Equity Act, repealing the widow’s tax.

“When a soldier takes the oath to protect the United States, the spouse is also sharing the enormous commitment,” said Dancer. “If the service member makes the ultimate sacrifice, it is our duty as a nation to care for the survivor left behind.

It is part of the cost of our freedom.”

Dancer Bill Protects Families Struggling To Pay For College Tuition

NEW JERSEY – Legislation protecting college students from losing state tuition assistance because their family took an early withdrawal from a retirement account passed the Assembly Higher Educa-

tion Committee today by an 8-0 vote. Sponsored by Assemblymen Ron Dancer and Kevin J. Rooney, the bill (A4763) exempts an early retirement withdrawal from the Higher Education Student Assistance

Authority’s calculation to determine eligibility for TAG grants.

“When the high cost of college is piled on the backs of families already struggling, their only option may be using some money

from a retirement account,” said Dancer (R-Ocean).

“Assistance should not be jeopardized because of the need to tap into a retirement account.”

An early withdrawal from a retirement fund does not

automatically exclude a family from TAG eligibility. All of a family’s income sources are weighted the same in HESAA’s formula.

“TAG grants are needbased, and it is important that the money is used for

those who fit eligibility,” said Rooney (R-Bergen).

“This bill protects the integrity of the program without penalizing families that had no choice but to use their retirement to pay for college-related expenses.”

Senator Thompson Sponsors Bill Aimed At Reducing Food Waste

N E W J E R SE Y – A group of bills sponsored

by Senator Sam Thompson (R-Burlington, Middlesex, Ocean, Monmouth), Senator Diane Allen (R-Burlington) and Senator Christopher “K ip” Batema n ( R-Mercer, Middlesex,

S o m e r s e t , Hu nt e r d o n) aimed at reducing waste were recently passed by the New Jersey Senate.

Bills sponsored by Sen. Sam Thompson, Sen. Diane Allen and Sen. Kip Bateman would help reduce food waste.

Senator Thompson’s legislation, S-3026, expands liability protections for food donations and gleaning activities and clarifies exist i ng law to ensu re potential donators aren’t scared away by the possibility of lawsuits.

“I’m sure a lot of people don’t even k now about these kinds of protections, a nd if t hey’re wor r ied about getting sued, they might think twice before donating food,” Senator Thompson. “As long the food meets a few requirements, it should be going to food banks and to families in need.”

Senator A llen’s bill, S-2360, provides for the establishment of voluntary guidelines to encourage school districts and institutions to donate excess food to local food assistance programs. The guidelines will provide information about what kind of food schools can donate and how to incor porate lessons about the need for food assistance programs

into their curriculum.

“Cutting back on waste at our schools and other institutions is a cr ucial part of getting more food to people who need it,” Senator Allen said. “Every day, so much food is just tossed out. That can’t be acceptable in a state where so many still struggle with food insecurity.”

Bill S-3030, sponsored

by Senator Bateman, is similar but focuses on providing information about how to reduce, recover and recycle food waste in schools.

In addition to feeding hungry families, the bills also look to tackle some of the environmental issues related to food waste.

According to the Food and Ag r icu lt u re O rga n i z a-

tion of the United Nations (FAO), unwanted and disca rded food squ a nders resources, including water, land, energy, labor, and capital. When food waste is dumped in a landfi ll, it rots and creates methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas.

“We have an opportunity to teach kids from a young age about ways to cut back on food waste so they can help feed the hungry and protect the environment,” Senator Bateman said. “If they can learn that early on it will just be second nature to them. Once they u nderstand where food comes from and how badly some people need it, they’ll know better than to just let good food go to waste.”

JACKSON – “Graduation is the most special day at Regional Day,” said Principal Lisa Michallis. “It’s a time to reflect on the past and ponder the future as we honor each of our graduates.” It was indeed a very special day as Regional Day School at Jackson honored five graduating students on June 8.

Angela C., Garrett D., Brandon M., Paul S. and Denzel V. entered the school’s all-purpose room wearing caps and gowns in the colors of their home high schools (Lakewood, Manchester and Morris).

Family, friends, staff and fellow students cheered them on.

The graduates received gifts from the Manchester Township Administrator’s Unit and the Manchester Township Education Association. They also received numerous awards, including awards from school departments, varsity letters from their home schools and achievement awards.

Regional Day School students, accompanied by Ms. Joyce Damen-Petit, provided musical entertainment. The C-Pod Singers performed a medley of patriotic songs, following the flag salute led by Tyler M., Student Council Vice President. Soloist Denzel V. led the RDS Singers in a touching performance of the song Friends.

Family Owned & Operated

After the presentation of diplomas and the changing of the tassels, Ms. Michallis said goodbye to the graduates with this poem: Graduates, Congratulations on your, graduation!

You clearly deserve, a restful vacation.

You’ve worked so hard, we are aware, About your education and future, we truly care.

This is just the beginning, your future is bright, We know you will accomplish, the goals in your sight.

Hoarding Rescue Leads To 17 Puppies At County Animal Facilities

JACKSON – More than 30 cats and dogs were recently rescued from a local hoarding situation, with all the animals ending up under the care of the Ocean County Animal Facilities in Manahawkin and Jackson. But it wasn’t long before that number kept on growing. Faster than you can say, “go fetch,” three of the impounded dogs were discovered to be pregnant and within days gave birth to 3 litters – for a total of 17 adorable puppies.

“Our latest litter arrived late last week and I’m happy to report all the puppies and mothers are doing well and getting the best of care,” said Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health.

Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator added, “This is what happens in many of these hoarder cases, people start out with good intentions but things can get overwhelming real quick. When that happens the animal facilities typically become the only option.”

Fortunately in this case all the dogs were in good health and many have already found good, loving homes. As for the puppies, most are still being weaned and won’t be ready for adoption for several more weeks. However, the two Ocean County Animal Facilities are always busy this time

of year and have no shortage of wonderful dogs to choose from. And for cat lovers, there is always a more than a bundle of adorable kittens available this time of year as well.

“If you’ve been thinking about adopting a pet now is certainly a great time. All of our animals are spayed or neutered, micro chipped and receive age appropriate vaccines,” Little added.

Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, liaison to the Office of Tourism and Business Development included, “Many of our visitors and vacationers to the Jersey Shore and Ocean County adopt from our animal facilities while they are here and we couldn’t be more pleased when they go back home and tell their friends they adopted from us.”

If you’re interested in adopting a dog or cat, the Ocean County Animal Facilities are located at 615 Freemont Street in Jackson and 360 Haywood Road in Manahawkin. Both facilities are open to the public 7 days a week from 1 to 4 p.m. and until 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

Jackson Police Charge Suspect In Horse Theft

JACKSON – On the morning of June 8, Jackson Police Officer Christopher Wasnesky responded to the Crack of Dawn Farm on Grawtown Road to a report of a horse that was stolen from the property sometime during the overnight hours.

The suspect had cut through a fence on a remote part of the property and then stole horse that had recently been the subject of a now settled court dispute. A potential suspect was identified, and during the investigation, the officer learned that a second horse that had previously been owned by the suspect was reported stolen from another property in Howell on the same date.

As the investigation progressed and reports of the incidents circulated on social media, both horses were located and found to be boarding at a stable in Pennsylvania. It was later discovered that the suspect had contracted and paid to have both of the stolen horses boarded there.

On June 12, Officer Wasnesky prepared warrants charging the suspect, identified as 25-year-old Katie Meo with a last known address of Toms River, with burglary and theft (third degree), criminal mischief and criminal trespass. Upon completing the complaints, the officer learned that Meo was currently lodged in the Camden County Jail and a detainer was sent to them for the Jackson charges.

You are not alone. Over 25 million Americans suffer from hearing loss. Hearing loss can be acquired through excessive noise exposure, stroke, head trauma, ototoxic drugs, surgery or aging.

Hearing loss can only be corrected approximately 10 percent of the time with medical intervention (i.e., surgery, medication).

In many cases, hearing loss can be overcome with properly fit hearing instruments.

Warning Signs of Hearing Loss 1. You hear, but you have trouble understanding all the words in a conversation.

2. People seem to mumble more frequently.

3. You often ask people to repeat themselves.

4. Your family complains that you turn the television up too

high.

5. You have trouble hearing on the telephone.

6. You have trouble hearing when your back is turned to the speaker.

7. You have been told that you speak too loudly.

8. You have difficulty understanding conversation when in a large group or crowd.

9. You experience ringing in your ears.

10. You no longer hear normal sounds, such as the dripping of a faucet or the ringing of a doorbell.

If you, or someone close to you, appear to have at least two of these warning signs, you should have your hearing tested by an audiologist. Don’t suffer in silence. Let us help you hear more out of life.

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

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

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

How To Get More Energy Without Coffee

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. We all experience fatigue or low energy at some point in our lives. Sometimes it is temporary like after an all-nighter, or a bout with the flu. Whatever the cause, fatigue is difficult to deal with. Also, one common but overlooked reason for fatigue is a missed diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Today, I’ll share my secrets for natural and effective ways to improve energy without Starbucks (wink): B complex. A deficiency of the B vitamins harms your adrenal glands and is a frequent cause of fatigue and depression.

There’s even a synthetic B vitamin made in very high doses and sold by prescription for depression called Deplin. B Complex is profoundly useful to make neurotransmitters and generate ATP energy production via the Krebs cycle. You need B12 to support thyroid production and get rid of homocysteine.

Licorice Root. This ancient herbal adaptogen doesn’t care how you got fatigued, it only seeks to fix your exhausted adrenal glands by increasing your energy and endurance. Because licorice stimulates the production of cortisol, it also boosts thyroid hormone.

One cup of licorice root tea per day might be all you need. Using it for too long, or taking too much will induce headaches and hypertension.

Ashwagandha. Also known as Indian ginseng, this herb over a few weeks activates T4 to T3 thyroid conversion (good!) which improves energy and fat-burning capabilities. But ashwagandha should be taken at night -at least at first- because it causes drowsiness for

many people.

Tyrosine. Your body uses tyrosine, an amino acid, to make thyroid hormones which improve brain power and energy.

Tyrosine is in many popular energy drinks and thyroid supplements. Dosage varies greatly from person to person, so start with 75 to 100 mg once or twice during daytime hours or it can cause insomnia. You can always increase from there. You’ll know you get too much if you feel shaky or get a racy heartbeat (similar to excessive caffeine).

Oat straw (Avena sativa). Known best as an effective tonic for hemorrhoids, oat straw may gently support thyroid function which in turn provides energy and fat-burning compounds. It has a lot of natural calcium which helps your muscles and bones. In animals, oat straw triggered release of luteinizing hormone (LH) which increases testosterone and impacts ovulation.

Salads and Greens. Eating steamed or sautéed greens is perfect, and of course a salad a day! The green color of romaine lettuce, chard and collards comes from natural chlorophyll. There are also supplements and powdered drink formulas that contain seaweeds or cereal grasses which contain chlorophyll. This rapidly cleans your cells and creates energy.

Still want more energy? There are coffee alternatives such as teas (black or green), coffee berry fruit extract, yerba mate shots and guayusa (gwhy-you-sa) drinks and teas which all act similar to coffee in that they are stimulating, but milder.

These are nice because they have their own specific set of herbal health benefits.

Continued From Page 1 at Ocean County Park to collect rainwater.

All food grown in the garden is donated to local food pantries.

“Last year, they raised and gleaned 15,000 pounds for the foodbanks,” said Master Gardener Mike Miller.

That includes a variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs, including ethno-centered vegetables like hot peppers that are grown to satisfy the rising Hispanic population.

“It really is a labor of love,” said Miller.

Why Rain Barrels?

Rain barrels are a way to trap and store recycled rainwater to use for maintaining a garden. According to the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County, about an inch of rain collected over a 1,000-square foot roof will yield 600 gallons of stored water.

Jillian, who lives in Manchester near Pine Lake, said the idea to create rain barrels came from her past experiences as a nature lover.

“When I was a Junior Naturalist at Cattus Island, every year they entered a rain barrel painting contest and then afterwards the rain barrels would be displayed outside at the nature center and they would actually be used, and that really got me thinking,” said Jillian.

The barrels she used for this project came from Ocean Spray Cranberries, which Jillian and her family picked up at a facility in Pennsylvania.

“Ocean Spray Cranberries uses them to hold their juices, but they don’t reuse them, so if you ask they’ll give them to you.”

One of the reasons they chose them is because they’re already food grade. She said they were blank barrels, but had stickers on them for what kind of juice was inside.

Most of the designs were pre-drawn on the barrels freehand by Jillian and other Girl Scouts who helped with the project.

“The dragonfly almost looks 3D on there,” said Miller, “We get a lot of dragonflies in here.”

Donation Day Jillian’s dad Peter unloaded the rain barrels from a pickup truck at the community garden in Ocean County Park, to a chorus of oohs and ahhs from her friend and fel-

low Girl Scout Alex Jacobs, sister Emily, brother Noah, mom Tasha and grandma Debbie Browning, who made the trip from Wisconsin for the occasion.

Miller and fellow Master Gardener Georgina Price gave the family a tour of the community garden, which was green and sprouting with crops like peas, garlic, beets, carrots, tomatoes, beans, peppers, radishes and blueberries, letting the group pick asparagus and snap peas right off the plants for a taste.

The Master Gardeners tend to the garden about three times a week, and then as the season grows on, bring it to local food pantries and donate it. They just got done harvesting their asparagus, which Miller said is very easy to grow once it gets started.

Herbs are another important crop in the garden, which grows basil, oregano and chives, and others. The amount of herbs has been increasing every year.

“They appreciate them a lot when we drop them off at the food banks because they don’t get herbs,” said Miller.

The ethno-centered vegetables have also been appreciated in the community. “In Lakewood there’s a huge Hispanic population and a lot of them go to the food banks,” said Miller, specifically to Catholic Charities, Mary’s Table in Point Pleasant and St. Anthony Claret Church across the street from Ocean County Park, which suffered a fire to its food pantry a few months ago.

“It’s literally feast or famine. You might come in here one Monday and have 50 or 60 pounds of ripe tomatoes and that goes right out, and another day you may only be picking two or three pounds of herbs,” said Miller, adding that two or three pounds of herbs is still a huge bag of herbs.

What’s Next?

Jillian graduated from Manchester Township Middle School on Tuesday and will attend the Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science in Stafford Township in the fall. Her family is excited to see what projects she will work on next.

“We love lakes and nature and frogs and you name it,” said her mom Tasha.

For her Gold Award, Jillian may explore something a little more close to home, when it comes to sustainability issues with Manchester’s three lakes – Harry Wright, Pine and Lakehurst.

Inside The Law You Can’t Make This Stuff Up – Part II

Robert C. Shea Esq.

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

Usually, this column is reserved for serious articles regarding the law. However, this week I thought we would post an article about the more humorous side of the law. Every attorney has their share of “war stories” most so strange that “you can’t make this stuff up.”

Here is one of my favorites.

“But the judgments are not against me!”

In New Jersey, any judgment automatically becomes a lien against real property. Accordingly, in every real estate transaction, a judgment search is done to make sure that the buyer and seller have no judgments against them that would become liens on the title to the property.

I was representing an older couple buying a house in an adult community and financing the purchase with a mortgage from a local bank. As part of the closing process, the bank required a title search which included a judgment search. When the title search came back it showed several judgments against a person with the same name as the husband. The total amount of the judgments was relatively small, less than $2,500. A quick review showed that they were not against my client but against another person with the same name. I sent the judgment search to the buyer and asked him to confirm that the judgments were not against him. He then called me very upset that someone with the same name as him had these judgments. He was afraid that people would think that the judgments were against him and think that he was a deadbeat. I verified with him that none of the judgments were against him. Because the judgments were not against him, I told him that they would not affect our closing and that he should not worry about them. He seemed to take my advice and dropped the subject…for the time being.

At the closing he again expressed concern about Marc S. Galella Esq. the judgments and what other people would think if they saw them. I again explained that the judgments were not against him and that they should not affect him and he should not worry about them. Again he seemed satisfied with what I told him and I thought the subject was over…or so I thought.

About four weeks after the closing I received call from his wife. She told me that her husband was so upset over the judgments that he could not sleep or eat since the closing. What could I do? I asked to speak to him. When he got on the phone I once again (for the third time) told him that the judgments were not his and he should not worry about them. However, if he was that concerned, he could always pay them off and make them go away. His response was “But the judgments are not against me!” I said he was right and he should not be concerned about them. I guess this time he got the message because he never called me about the judgments again.

You can’t make this stuff up!!

Dear Joel

By Joel Markel

Sunshine State

Dear Joel, I’m sure there are a lot of people out there who feel the same way I feel do. I was born and raised in New Jersey. About seven years ago my parents moved to Florida. At first it was wonderful. They loved their new lifestyle and I loved going for visits, but this last year or so, things are changing. Many of their friends are ill or have died and they’re getting older too. I feel so guilty about not spending more time with them, especially since they seem to be needing more help all the time. I feel like I’m letting them down by not being there more, and I worry about them all the time.

Bert, NJ Dear Sunshine, If you started a support group for guilty adult children with parents in Florida, you’d probably have to hold the meetings in an arena. There are many people in this group, including me and my own mother. This is a very big transition in all

your lives, and it brings with it practically every emotion. I visit multiple times a year, and even though I have done everything I can to keep her safe and happy, I, like you, worry about her all the time. Let’s start by remembering a few things. They were the ones who decided to make that move and hopefully they considered what impact that distance might have on them. Second, technology and travel have made this living condition much easier. Third, the role of the parent is to raise fine adults, as they have with you. I’m sure they understand you have a life too, and that you are doing everything you can. Finally, you must give yourself the credit you deserve for being a loving child. Many parents are not so lucky.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of June 24 - July 1

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Irritating situations can cause you to lose your temper in the week ahead. Remember that an oyster creates pearls from irritations. You, too, can create something of value if you simply clam up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your good taste is at a peak during the first few days of the week. Buy apparel and decorative household items as soon as possible. It is not a good idea to sign contracts or make business deals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Cover up the controversial. A wise man puts a chair over the hole in the carpet before guests arrive. Don’t bring your faults or obvious shortcomings to anyone’s attention in the week ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be challenged to exercise patience in the week to come. You may be ready to spring to action at the slightest provocation. Keep a cool head and avoid taking unnecessary risks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Opposites might attract but find it difficult to coordinate. You may find that your trust is misplaced because someone proves to be somewhat impulsive.

Focus on being careful and shrewd with money.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Share the wealth. Be hospitable and lay out a big spread for visitors as well as family members. Your willingness to be generous and tolerant might win new friends in the week to come.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may appear warm and witty, but someone may question if you are wise. As this week unfolds use your charm and thoughtfulness in the workplace. Avoid jumping to conclusions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Pushing and shoving won’t get you any loving. It may be difficult to keep your finances as well as your love life on an even keel. In the week ahead avoid being too aggressive or competitive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): An arrow is shot by pulling it backwards. If you feel you are going backwards in the week ahead remember that the next step is to move forwards. Take aim at the best target possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sometimes you must lose the battle to win the war.

Your fighting instincts may be aroused as this week unfolds. It isn’t necessary to address every challenge to your authority.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pretty things may attract your eye, but might not fit your hand. In the early part of the week you may be drawn to people and things that don’t quite meet your needs. Sidestep a broken heart.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Focus on making your future as fulfilling as your fantasies. Hurt feelings may result if someone doubts you in the week ahead. The best way to earn someone’s trust is to trust them.

Fire Up The Grill To Make Mouth-Watering Baby Back Ribs

By Wolfgang Puck Having four sons who range in age from 10 to 28 years old, I always look forward to Father’s Day. The holiday is known, among other reasons, for the range of gifts dads traditionally get, including hand-drawn pictures, ties, socks, coffee mugs and aftershave.

One of the most welcome Father’s Day gifts I can think of is food. My sons, for example, know how much I love great chocolate, so there might be some of that for me to unwrap (and share) on Sunday morning. Even more meaningful, however, is when my sons cook for me. It could be something as simple as the panini or waffles my younger boys like to make. Or it might be something much more elaborate, which I’ve come to expect from my second-to-oldest son, Byron, who just graduated from Cornell’s famed restaurant and hotel management program.

With Father’s Day observed just a few days before summer, barbecuing is one of the best ways to celebrate. It also lets Dad take part in the festivities directly, since chances are that he himself will be the one to man the fire. So I’d like to share a treat that almost any father would enjoy: barbecued pork ribs served with a spicy-sweet dipping sauce.

When cooking ribs, I think simple and slow is the best way to go. I like to start with the most tender, succulent ribs: back ribs, also known as baby backs, the term used for that portion of the ribs nearer the spine after the butcher has cut off the loin. (They aren’t, in fact, from an immature animal; “baby” just refers to the ribs’ size.) Be sure to ask the butcher to peel off the tough membrane that covers one side of the ribs; there’s no reason you should have to struggle with this task at home.

The best way to cook ribs outdoors is by using the indirect-heat method of barbecuing, which involves arranging a hot fire under one side of the grill but leaving the ribs to cook, covered, on the cooler side and not directly above the fire. This causes the meat to cook slowly, ensuring that it stays tender and doesn’t dry out. Before cooking, I like to flavor the ribs with a sweet-and-spicy rub, preferably leaving it on them overnight so the flavors penetrate the meat. And I also serve them with a simple sauce for people who like to dip the meaty ribs before eating - though I personally also like the fall-off-the-bonetender meat on its own.

The results are so good that it really doesn’t matter whether you’re being cooked for or you’re the one doing the cooking. I wish you a happy Father’s Day! BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS WITH SWEET-AND-SPICY DIPPING SAUCE Serves 4 to 6 SWEET-AND-SPICY RUB AND RIBS: 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar

4 tablespoons onion powder 4 tablespoons garlic powder 4 tablespoons dried thyme 4 tablespoons dried oregano 2 tablespoons mild paprika 2 tablespoons hot paprika 4 teaspoons cayenne 4 teaspoons ground coriander 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons freshly ground white pepper 2 tablespoons kosher salt 2 racks pork back ribs, membrane removed Extra-virgin olive oil SWEET-AND-SPICY DIPPING SAUCE: 1/4 cup (60 mL) apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons honey 1 red or green jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded and minced 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves Kosher salt To make the sweet-and-spicy rub, stir together the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Place the racks of ribs in 1 or 2 baking pans large enough to hold them in a single layer.

With clean hands, sprinkle them evenly on both sides with 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the rub mixture, rubbing it in well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight. (Reserve the remaining rub mixture for another use, storing it in an airtight container at room temperature.)

Before grilling the ribs, make the sweetand-spicy dipping sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the vinegar, honey, jalapeno and oregano. Season the sauce to taste with salt, and whisk well. Cover and reserve in the refrigerator.

Prepare a fire in a gas or charcoal grill. Meanwhile, remove the ribs from the refrigerator.

When the fire is very hot, turn off one side of the burners for a gas grill or carefully push the coals to one side for a charcoal grill.

Lightly brush the ribs on both sides with the olive oil and place racks side by side, fattier side down, on the cooler side of the grill not directly above the fire or coals; close the lid of the grill or cover the ribs with a large inverted metal baking pan.

Cook the ribs until their undersides are browned, about 20 minutes. Using long grilling tongs, turn the ribs over. Cover and continue to cook until the bones wiggle easily when twisted with the tongs, about 1 1/2 hours, turning the racks over every 20 minutes or so. Meanwhile, remove the dipping sauce from the refrigerator and let it to come to room temperature.

When the ribs are done, remove them from the grill to a cutting board, cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and leave them to rest for 10 minutes. With a large, sharp knife, cut the ribs between the bones. Arrange them on the platter and serve, passing the dipping sauce alongside.
