By Jennifer Peacock BERKELEY – May 23 was Berkeley Mayor Carmen Amato’s 50th birthday. The Ocean County Freeholders gifted him with a park re-opening. “Carmen has been no slouch in pestering us either about (completing the park),” Freeholder director Gerry Little jested. “(Councilman) Jimmy Byrnes was number one but Carmen has been right behind him the whole time, pestering about this park, this wonderful park,” With a literal lock and symbolic wooden key, Freeholder John Bartlett re-opened Berkeley Island County Park, which suffered catastrophic damage

By Chris Lundy OCEAN COUNTY – At mosques, synagogues, and churches this weekend, there will be a common refrain: “Love Thy Neighbor.” They will be urging their congregations to stand up against hatred, racism and anti-Semitism. This is a joint effort between more than 30 faith-based leaders spanning every denomination in Ocean County and the County Prosecutor’s Office. On Fridays, mosques will spread the message. On Saturday, temples. And on Sunday, churches. The movement is trying to make people take a step forward and get to know someone who is different from you, whether that difference is based on faith, race, or culture. And hopefully (Mission - See Page 5)

Alan Dittenhofer from Remington & Vernick Engineers, who completed the design work, stated that there will be a construction camera on site that will photograph the job site every five minutes. The camera will be placed on the scoreboard so residents can see the work in progress. The project cost $804,000, but $750,000 of that came from the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Green Acres Program. The remainder is the township’s responsibility. The estimated completion is Aug. 1, officials said.

Continued From Page 1 that will “bring back our humanity,” Prosecutor Joseph Coronato said. There have been instances of bias crimes in the county, he said. There is also defamatory talk among residents, ridiculing various groups either in person or online. There wasn’t any incident that spurred this on, but rather this initiative has grown out of regular meetings with religious leaders. “Once you understand the culture, you understand the person that much more,” he said. “Whether you’re Muslim, Jewish, or Christian, we’re all human. We need to get
along, and sometimes the reason we don’t is we don’t understand enough about each other’s culture.” This might be the start of a regular series, he said. It was tied to Memorial Day for a few reasons. During the summer, the county’s population swells to 1.2 million, he said. The best time to reach the largest audience was the kick-off of the summer season. Also, on Memorial Day, we remember those who fought for our freedom, and it’s important to reflect on what those soldiers fought for. Religious leaders have put together two videos to drive home the message. They can be found here: youtu.be/41Pofib48i4 and youtu.be/VeQdAKSMxdo.

Opioid Treatment and Recovery Discussed Nationwide From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHI NGTON, D.C. - C o n g r e s s m a n To m MacA r thu r chaired the Bipar tisan Heroin Task Force roundtable on effective addiction treatment and recovery. During the roundtable, members received an update from Christopher M. Jones, PharmD., M.P.H, of
the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Ad m i n ist r at ion (SA MHSA); John Brogan, the Chief Recovery Specialist for Lifeline Recovery Support Services in the Ocean County Prosecutors Office Blue Hart Program; and Chief Brian Rhodes of the Nashua (NH) Fire and Res-
cue Department. Director Jones gave remarks on the national state of the opioid crisis and the federal response. Mr. Brogan and Chief Rhodes described the innovative programs t hey h ave le d i n t hei r communities, which have successf ully con nected individuals to much-needed treatment and reduced local overdose deaths. “We are losing 174 Americans every day to the opioid crisis,” Congressman MacAr thur said. “They aren’t just numbers. These are people whose lives were stolen f rom them
and cut short. They were someone’s son or daughter, brother or sister, soulmate or friend. If we lost 174 people from a plane crash t wo d ays i n a row, we would ground every plane and do whatever is necessary to keep people safe. We need that intensity of effort to overcome this crisis. It may be bigger than any of us, but it isn’t bigger than all of us together.” Ocean County is considered to be the epicenter of the fight against opioid addiction in New Jersey and the county was recently designated as a High
Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) after collaborative efforts by U.S. Senator Cory Booker, Congressman MacArthur and County Prosecutor, Joseph Coronato. “Our nation needs to take a comprehensive approach t o t r e a t i n g a d d ic t io n , which impacts the mind, body, and soul,” Brogan said. “The work of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force in Congress is crucial to bring people together to develop comprehensive solutions that will help us treat this disease. Thanks to Congressman MacAr-
Facebook Has The Power To Be Used Ethically Capitol Comments Senator Cory Booker
WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) called on Facebook to enact a number of additional reforms on the heels of its recent announcement that it would undergo a civil rights audit and political bias review. Specifically, Booker pushed Facebook to use its data as a source for good by creating a public data trust and establishing industry-wide ethical frameworks. “Announcing plans for a civil rights and safety audit is an important and significant step,” Booker wrote in a letter sent to Facebook Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. “However, the audit is one action among many Facebook should take to provide its users a more inclusive, equitable, and safe platform. I urge Facebook to partner with outside stakeholders to use Facebook’s vast trove of data as a force for positive change. “I also strongly suggest that Facebook work with
organizers, activists, technologists and data ethicists to establish industry-wide ethical frameworks and implement a Data Code of Ethics,” Booker added. Booker also called on the tech giant to improve diversity within its ranks, citing unacceptable statistics such as the fact that only one percent of the fi rm’s U.S. technical employees identify as black. “If Facebook is truly committed to eliminating harassment and discrimination on its platform and understanding how social media and big data affects underserved communities, then recruiting, hiring, and retaining diverse researchers and data scientists must be an imperative,” Booker wrote. The letter follows similar questions Booker asked of Zuckerberg during a hearing in the Senate last month. In response to Booker’s questions, Zuckerberg indicated openness to au-
diting the fi rm’s practices and policies as it relates to discrimination on the platform. The full text of the letter is as follows:
Dear Mr. Zuckerberg: I am encouraged by the announcement that Facebook will facilitate an independent civil rights and safety audit of Facebook’s products and policies in order to respond to the rampant hate speech, discriminatory practices, censorship, and surveillance occurring on the platform. In response to questions I posed to you during last month’s Senate hearing into Facebook’s data malpractice, you stated such an audit was a “very good idea.” I am heartened this idea is being bolstered with real action. A thorough, open assessment of Facebook’s operations is a necessary step to better understanding how Facebook’s products and policies failed to protect vulnerable communities. Yet, there is more to be done. Building communities and truly bringing the world closer together will require more than mitigating the harm caused by Facebook’s missteps. Rath-
er, Facebook must commit to harnessing its data to positively affect those communities. This is not a task that Facebook should endeavor upon on its own. Therefore, I urge Facebook to partner with outside stakeholders to use Facebook’s vast trove of data as a force for positive change. Advocates have suggested that Facebook create a public data trust - a clearinghouse where students, community leaders, organizers, scientists and developers can access anonymized Facebook data for research in service of the public interest. Indeed there are already notable examples of Facebook using its internal researchers and technology to serve the public good by: proactively detecting suicidal posts before they’re reported; increasing our understanding of housing prices; and helping relief organizations around the world respond to natural disasters. The possibilities for Facebook’s user data are endless and, accordingly, its usage should not be restricted to internal Facebook researchers and scientists. Partnering with community-led organizations in a data trust could
help to scale their work in racial justice, women’s health, affordable housing, violence reduction, and many other fields in ways simply not possible outside of Facebook. To be sure, even the most well-intentioned research demands oversight and accountability and Facebook has not always conducted its experiments in ways that were forthcoming and transparent. Given the sensitivity of the research data and potential for abuse, I also strongly suggest that Facebook work with organizers, activists, technologists and data ethicists to establish industry-wide ethical frameworks and implement a Data Code of Ethics. Additionally, just as the civil rights and safety audit will subject Facebook’s practices and policies to external review, Facebook’s research efforts should also be rigorously reviewed and analyzed by an outside entity. Finally, as I mentioned during the hearing, Facebook must improve its diversity numbers. Silicon Valley remains disturbingly behind in matters of inclusion. You recently announced that by the end
thur and Congresswoman Kuster, for inviting me to discuss the successful treatment efforts we are seeing on the ground in Ocean County.” “South Jersey has been hit particularly hard and I’m grateful for the commitment of our first responders, recovery specialists and healthcare community,” MacArthur continued. “The Bipartisan Heroin Task Force has made progress and we will stand with our local communities in providing the resources and initiatives to help us overcome this together.”
of the year Facebook will create 5,000 new positions, for, among other f unctions, reviewing content. However, only 1 percent of Facebook’s U.S. technical employees identify as black. If Facebook is truly committed to eliminating harassment and discrimination on its platform and understanding how social media and big data affects underserved communities, then recruiting, hiring, and retaining diverse researchers and data scientists must be an imperative. Announcing plans for a civil rights and safety audit is an important and significant step. However, the audit is one action among many Facebook should take to provide its users a more inclusive, equitable, and safe platform. Facebook’s mission statement is “Give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.” Giving people the power means exactly that. I urge you to make your decision to work with outside entities on an audit the genesis of a larger commitment by Facebook to share information and resources with the community that makes Facebook what it is.

Continued From Page 1 from Superstorm Sandy back in 2012. The aging park was the first one Bartlett oversaw building as a new freeholder in 1982. “It’s amazing how many different things went into building this park,” County Parks and Recreation Director Michael Mangum said. “There’s a lot of things you don’t see here today when you walk in that went into building this park. But we got here today. I know there’s no person happier to see this than Freeholder John Bartlett.” “In many ways, it’s been my baby. There’s no question that when Hurricane Sandy hit, this park was starting to feel its age. It was in need of some renovation, more than some,” Bartlett told the audience, filled with members of the public, as well as county employees and county and local officials. “So quite frankly, when the storm did major damage to it, I wasn’t terribly unhappy, because it needed major renovations anyway.” The project cost $8 million and although now open to the public, still has cosmetic work being done. The project took 5-plus years to complete, because as Bartlett said, the county couldn’t come in with their own equipment and get to work immediately. “We needed permits,” Bartlett said. The bureaucratic red tape included confirming how much the Federal Emergency Management Agency would reimburse the county for the damage and rebuilding a living shoreline (“when you lose land into the state’s water, it’s not your land anymore, it’s theirs”) so the park could have parking for guests. Ultimately, the state was good to work with, the freeholder added. The park retained much of its original character with some upgrades. It has a fishing pier picnic area with pavilion. The new feature is the county’s first splash park, inspired by a splash park Bartlett visited in Philadelphia. “One of the things that was always done in Berkeley Township that is very, very important: we always worry about our families and our children,” said Freeholder Joseph Vicari, who also used to be superintendent of Berkeley’s elementary school district. “And that’s what it’s all about with our parks system, of all 27 parks we have in Ocean County. It’s affordable because, it’s free!” The living shoreline was constructed on the park’s south side. Shoreline protection lines the north side. The park’s infrastruc-

tures are all new: a parking lot with improved lighting that is compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act. The landscaping includes all native seaside plants. A “living shoreline” is man-made to mimic a naturally occurring conditions that attracts native fauna and flora. Eagle Construction, Burlington, was awarded the redevelopment contract. The park and building were designed by both T& Associates and Barlo & Associates. The county worked with the State Department of Environmental Protection, Barnegat Bay Partnership and Stevens Institute of Technology to design and implement a sustainable and environmentally friendly project. “All of this has been under the inspiration of Freeholder John Bartlett and this will be a legacy that John leaves for generations to come,” Little said. Freeholder Virginia Haines worked for Bartlett back in 1982 and remembers the construction of Berkeley Island County Park well. “I’m just so glad they were able to make it even better, and I’m sure that the people of especially Berkeley but Ocean County will enjoy the park for many years to come,” Haines said. “And I hope we will never have another Hurricane Sandy.” Amato asked for a more passionate audience response to his greeting, saying the township waited 5 years for this day. Oct. 29, 2012 is a day that will live in infamy for the mayor, he said. “I want to thank the Board of Chosen Freeholders for their commitment to not only fix and repair this park, but to rebuild it,” Amato said. He walked the devastated park with Bartlett after the hurricane. At that time, Bartlett promised to not just repair, but to rebuild the park. “To make an $8 million commitment to rebuild Berkeley Island Park, it’s something that should never go unnoticed. On behalf of the township, we appreciate the freeholders,” Amato said. Alexa Palmieri, on behalf of Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-3rd), presented the freeholders a certificate to commemorate the reopening of the park. “It’s quite an honor for me because I grew up in this town, so it’s great to see the park finally finished,” Palmieri said. Berkeley Island County Park sits on a 25-acre peninsula that juts into Barnegat Bay and Cedar Creek. It’s located at 399 Brennan Concourse in Berkeley.

“Knocking Out” Opioid Addiction One Town At A Time
By Kimberly Bosco LITTLE EGG HARBOR – Ocean County officials, experts, and nearly 100 concerned residents gathered at the Cavalry Baptist Church in Little Egg Harbor to create a deeper dialogue around the ever-growing opioid epidemic in New Jersey. The program, called “Knock Out Opioid Abuse: A Town Hall Series” was the 18th out of 20 town hall discussions to be held throughout New Jersey. It generated conversation around the devastating statistics associated with the epidemic, prevention tactics, and various resources for recovery to try and provide a new way of looking at the issue. Rebecca Alfaro, deputy director of the Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse and moderator at the event, noted that the purpose of the panel was to brainstorm on “how can we heal as a community and how can we prevent this from continuing to happen?” “There is not a day that goes by without hearing or seeing a story in our neighborhood or in the media on the impact of the misuse of prescription medication or heroin abuse,” said Alfaro. “Ocean County is not immune. No family or community is immune.” The discussion brought to light some alarming statistics and heart-wrenching personal encounters with opioid addiction as the series’ five panelists each took a turn at the mic to share their perspectives. Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato remarked that his usual approach to the opioid crisis is comprised of three “pillars.” These are education and prevention, strong law enforcement, and most importantly, breaking the cycle of addiction. “We were the first county in the state of New Jersey to use Narcan,” said Coronato, in reference to the chemical nasal spray that can potentially reverse an overdose and save a life. “We had 129 deployments in 2014, in 2015 we had 272, in 2016 we went up to 502, and then…went down from 502 to 341 in 2017 and as of this date we’re at about 135.” From 2014 to 2016, overdose deaths went up from 112 to 216. However in 2017, the number went down to 166. “I’m very proud of that” 25 percent reduction in overdose deaths, said Coronato. Not only this, but Coronato drew attention to the serious rise in fentanyl use noting that by 2017, 65 percent of overdose victims had fentanyl in their systems. “Fentanyl is a game changer.” As we can see from these statistics, the opioid crisis is not going away any time soon. Coronato explained that breaking the cycle of addiction is the number one priority now when it comes to tackling the epidemic. Programs like the Opioid Overdose Response program, established in 2016, and Blue HART, established in 2017, have made strides in helping addicts recover and heal before an overdose takes place. Blue HART (Heroin, Addiction Response Team) allows addicts to walk into their local participating police station and turn in their drugs in exchange for recovery assistance. Ocean County towns including Lacey, Ocean Gate, Stafford, Little Egg Harbor, Point Pleasant Borough, Manchester and
Brick all participate in the Blue HART program. Coronato noted that Surf City on Long Beach Island is the newest addition to the program. “It’s not just impacting the patient,” said Dr. Muhammad Abbas, Chief of Addiction Medicine and Medical Director of Partial Hospital Program at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. Abbas provided the panel of experts with a public health perspective, remarking that opioid abuse not only affects the patient but also the family, and society as a whole. Abbas said that the problem has a significant impact on the medical sector, when you think about the amount of hospital beds or emergency room resources addicts require in an overdose situation, saying “this is the time to be dealing with this.” Michael Capko, DART Coalition Manager echoed these sentiments when he discussed some of the barriers people face when attempting to get treatment. Capko explained that, across the board, it is usually insurance issues and cost that became a barrier for many seeking treatment. The gap between those who are uninsured or have Medicaid, and those facilities that will treat them is significant, which is a huge issue that still needs fixing when it comes to improving the way we help addicts. “I think the one of the biggest things that we can do in this field is to advocate and support all aspects of the continuum, so from prevention to treatment and recovery support services,” he added. “This is a disease that we’re talking about, and sometimes diseases are treated with medication and sometimes they are treated with other preventative measures,” said Alfaro. As Alfaro said, one way to deal with opioid abuse is prevention. This is the most important step in handling opioid abuse, according to Liza DeJesus, director of prevention services at Prevention First. “Prevention is the first stop to addressing this epidemic,” said DeJesus. “We plant the seed of hope…we let the children know what it is that they can do to prevent them from growing up to be addicted.” The way this is done is through evidence based curriculum and prevention strategies within schools and communities. DeJesus noted that Prevention First starts teaching kids about prevention as young as pre-kindergarten. “Self-esteem, showing them how to make healthy decisions, helping them through the process of decision making, making them confident children, believing in themselves; all of these things lead up to a resilient child,” she said. DeJesus emphasized that it is important to have a continuous conversation with children as they grow up. “The younger we start, the more they get the message.” Another important aspect that makes prevention an ideal alternative is that prevention strategies are less expensive than recover treatment, according to DeJesus. “For every dollar that’s spent in prevention, there are up to $20 spent in treatment,” said DeJesus. “It affects all of us.” Another panelist, Pastor Mike Dellaperute
of the Cavalry Baptist Church, discussed what he considers to be the biggest barriers to dealing with addiction. “There are many barriers to getting help… drugs are an idol and they require a sacrifice,” he said. Dellaperute’s first barrier is that it is impossible to trust an addict, and the second is that sometimes we are the barrier when we act as enablers. “The most loving thing you can do for them [addicts] is make it as difficult as possible for them to continue in their lifestyle,” he explained. The town hall program brought forth a lot of new information and provided some hope
to the public that Ocean County officials are working tirelessly to fight the opioid epidemic every day. Officials emphasized that the goal is to nip the problem in the bud so that we can prevent people from becoming addicts and eradicate the problem before it even starts. Coronato noted that frequently used medications for treatment such as methadone, vivtrol, and suboxone, are not cures, but rather “just cure the craving.” This is what Coronato believes we need to avoid and we can start by helping addicts with law enforcement systems, as opposed to through them. This, and sustainable recovery, are the goals, according to officials.

DRY EYES AND SJÖGREN’S SYNDROME
One of the most common reasons for visits to the ophthalmologist is dry eyes, which is estimated to affect nearly half (48 percent) of adults over age 18. There are a number of causes of “dry eye syndrome,” including the inability of the Meibomian glands to secrete sufficient amounts of oil for tears, or failure of the lacrimal glands to produce enough watery fluid (aqueous) to keep the eyes adequately moistened. In addition to diagnosing and treating these and other causes, dry-eye patients who do not show improvement after treatment should be tested for Sjögren’s syndrome. This autoimmune disease, which is characterized by dryness of the mouth and the eyes, is often overlooked as a cause of dry eyes. Treatment options for dry eye depend on its causes and severity, so it’s important to be examined by an eye doctor who is trained to diagnose and treat ocular diseases. To schedule a comprehensive eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622. We offer a unique combination of experience, skill sets, flexibility, and convenience starting with our physicians whose main focus is making sure our patients are informed and educated about all of their vision needs.

P.S. As a consequence of Sjögren’s syndrome, inflammation of the glands that produce tears (lacrimal glands) leads to decreased water production for tears and dry eyes.

Berkeley To Participate In “Click It or Ticket” Program
By Kimberly Bosco BERKELEY – Don’t forget to put on your seatbelt when you get behind the wheel! Between May 21 and June 3, Berkeley Township will be participating in the national Click It or Ticket Program. Police Officers will be monitoring and checking to make sure drivers are wearing their seatbelts. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 135,000 lives were saved by safety belt usage nationally between the years 1975-2000.
A large percentage of the motor vehicle drivers and passengers that are killed in crashes were not wearing a seat belt, so it is evident that wearing your seat belt is a very effective way to avoid death or serious injury in an accident. Berkeley Township’s participation in the program is meant to raise awareness and increase seat belt usage through a combination of enforcement and education, which has been funded by a $5,500 grant. Mayor Carmen Amato reminds residents to slow down and obey traffic laws.

“The Situation” Talks Addiction, Recovery And Hope
–Photo courtesy Design 446 Pictured from left: Lindsay Quintenz, Program Director of HOPE Sheds Light; Stephen Willis, Co-founder of HOPE Sheds Light; Pamela Capaci, Chief Executive Officer of HOPE Sheds Light; Mike Sorrentino; Lauren Pesce; Arvo Prima, Co-founder of HOPE Sheds Light, and Ann Marie Baker, Vice President of Design 446. By Kimberly Bosco TOMS RIVER – Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino shared his experiences with addiction at the Finding HOPE for Life Support Group Meeting recently at Holy Cross Lutheran Church. The discussion was moderated by Steve Willis, co-founder of HOPE Sheds Light, a local nonprofit dedicated to educating families on the disease of addiction by creating awareness. “We want to do our part to remove the fear and the stigma of this disease by offering a loving and safe environment that leads families to wellness, and the community as well,” said Willis. Finding HOPE is a support group that meets the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at the Holy Cross Lutheran Church, where anyone can go to get or give support to those dealing with the disease of addiction. At the meeting, Sorrentino, accompanied by his fiancée Lauren Pesce, shared their journey through addiction and recovery, which transformed “The Situation” into somewhat of “The Inspiration.” You may remember Sorrentino from his infamous rise to fame on MTV’s Jersey Shore, where his character “The Situation” was known for partying hard. What you may not have known was that he also battled with addiction to prescription painkillers for five years following the end of the show. Now clean, Sorrentino credits the Discovery Institute for Addictive Disorders and Pesce for his accomplishment. Discovery encouraged him to “put all hands on deck” and do whatever it takes to be clean. “I’ll be honest, I hated everything about it [rehab],” joked Sorrentino. “But…I wanted better for myself and I was going to do whatever it takes to get there.” “I am responsible and accountable for my decisions in life, and no one is coming to save me,” he added. Sorrentino went through about a full year of treatment with Discovery, a combination of inpatient, outpatient, and one-on-one counseling. He said that he stuck to it and gave it his all, which helped him come out the other side. One thing that treatment helped Sorrentino to do was face “the wreckage of his past,” and all
of the bad decisions he may have made while using. He remarked that someone who has suffered with addiction, who wants to recover, is eventually going to have to face his/her past, just as he did, so they can move forward. “I had to humble myself, I had to educate myself, I had to understand that I didn’t know everything,” said Sorrentino on the start of his recovery. His first step to fight some of the negativity during the beginning stages of recovery, he said, was to be a better person. “It costs zero dollars to be a kind person.” Sorrentino also noted that his “obsessive personality” made it difficult to stay on the road to recovery. “I had to get to the root of it [the problem],” he said. A popular theme of Jersey Shore was their schedule of GTL or Gym, Tan, and Laundry. Sorrentino remarked that during his recovery he altered that schedule to GTM: Gym, Tan, and (recovery) Meeting. Sorrentino’s fiancée also spoke about how their relationship also contributed to his recovery. Pesce and Sorrentino dated during college around 2004. After going their separate ways for some time, they came back together in 2013. Pesce said she knew Sorrentino “while he was actively using.” She explained that Sorrentino would go through stages of doing great and then relapsing while he was using. “He would relapse, and he would relapse hard, and it would be devastating; I stuck by him through that, it was not easy,” she said. Pesce shared her own experiences with addiction, having a younger brother succumb to an overdose four years ago. This experience helped her to work on herself and embolden her to be a contributing factor to Sorrentino’s recovery. She accompanies Sorrentino to his recovery meetings and work events, noting “I try to be a layer of support for him.” “I live right now with new purpose, peace, and integrity,” said Sorrentino. “I don’t lie, I don’t cheat, I don’t steal, I don’t drink, I don’t drug…I don’t even speed,” he joked. Sorrentino remarked that he wouldn’t have dreamed that he has become the person he sees himself as today and he is grateful.

Keeping You Informed: Over-the-Counter Devices
With last summer’s passage of the Over-theCounter Hearing Aid Act of 2017, you may wonder how it affects your health care. As an AudigyCertified™ practice, we consider patient education an important part of delivering excellent service, so count on us for timely news to support your hearing wellness. What does the law do? The legislation, part of the Food and Drug Administration Reauthorization Act, will allow the retail sale of hearing aids for adults with self-perceived mild to moderate hearing loss — without the crucial involvement of an audiologist or medical doctor. When will I see its impact? Over-the-counter (OTC) hearing technology is at most a few years from being publicly available until federal regulations for safety, labeling, and manufacturing are developed. What are the pros of this change? The law could help expand consumer access to hearing technology, motivate even more people to seek hearing help, and inspire more technical innovations that benefit patients. What are the cons? Access to hearing health care is vital, but the law unfortunately will enable self-treatment for a serious physical condition that trained, licensed professionals are more suited to evaluate, diagnose, and treat. Aren’t OTC hearing devices already available? You may be thinking of personal sound amplification products (PSAPs), which are wearable electronic devices used for activities such as bird-watching or TV-viewing to make a sound louder — not to take the place of properly fit hearing aids. What’s the difference between OTC devices and PSAPs? Currently available PSAPs are

neither FDA-approved nor recommended to treat actual hearing loss. OTC hearing technology will be FDA-regulated but won’t be available for a while. Once available on the market, will OTCs address my hearing needs? Hearing loss is often an inner-ear problem, but sometimes it’s a different issue such as earwax buildup, a foreign object in the ear canal, or an ear infection that may cause temporary hearing difficulty. A PSAP or OTC won’t tackle these types of underlying problems. What else should I know about OTCs? OTCs will address only mild to moderate hearing loss, and even then, noise processing will be far less than a traditional hearing aid. They won’t always offer a successful fit and may be less specific for your situation. What’s the benefit of choosing provider-fit hearing aids instead? Unlike OTCs and PSAPs, provider-fit hearing aids can address the full spectrum of hearing impairment from mild to profound. They’re already FDA-approved, are recommended to treat hearing loss, and can adjust to environmental variables such as background noise as well as help your brain process sound. Self-treating hearing loss might seem convenient, but it can do more harm than good. Professional care — including testing, programming, fitting, and follow-up — helps you get to the bottom of your hearing difficulties and secure the right solution for your communication needs. If you have questions about OTC hearing technology, signs and symptoms of hearing loss, or the dangers of self-treating hearing problems, call us today at 732-818-3610 we’re here to help!

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Aloe Vera Has 10 Impressive Uses By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Aloe vera made a couple of headlines recently. The fi rst was when the actress Drew Barrymore dabbed some on a facial sore and it instantly took out the redness. The second was when Prop 65 regulations in California called out a known carcinogen in aloe vera called “aloin.” Don’t worry, aloe will never get banned! Not to be morbid from the get-go, but extracted compounds from this spiky succulent were used in the Middle East during ancient times to clean dead bodies and prepare them for burial. Plants of aloe very give us two different substances, one is called “gel” and the other is called “latex. Both have medicinal value. The gel is the clear part that comes from the center of the leaf. You know it well… it looks like jelly and it’s what you put on the skin for cuts and minor burns. The aloe latex is visible just beneath the plant’s outer skin, and it’s yellow in color. This has a laxative effect on the body. Aloe is very useful for psoriasis, food sensitivities, diabetes, gastritis and gingivitis. If these topics interest you, I have a way longer version of this article which I’ll email to you next week if you sign up to receive my free health newsletter at suzycohen. Right now, here are 10 things you can use your aloe plant for: 1. Moisturize Yourself: Mix some into your favorite lotion and put on your face or arms. 2. Heal Bug Bites: Dab aloe gel directly
onto painful or itchy but bites, or combine the aloe in the palm of your hand with some hydrocortisone cream. 3. Cool off burns: Squeeze a dab of aloe vera into traditional burn ointment and use on superficial burns. 4. Soothe eczema itch: You can buy any salt or sugar scrub that feels good to you and just mix in aloe vera gel. 5. Ease dandruff: Find a selenium sulfide-based shampoo and add some aloe vera gel to the shampoo then massage to your scalp. 6. Fix gingivitis: Squeeze some aloe vera gel onto your toothbrush and brush like normal. 7. Shave your legs: Instead of using expensive, perfumed shaving cream on your legs, use aloe vera gel. 8. Get moving: There are commercially prepared products used as dietary supplements which might help constipation. Some people like this, others react poorly. 9. Succulent Facial: Do you want softer skin and more radiance without spending a fortune on fancy creams? Apply the gel to your cheeks and forehead, and rest for 15 minutes. Rinse and pat dry. 10. Soothe a sunburn: Snap off a stalk from your aloe plant and apply the clear gel onto the sunburned area for a natural cooling balm. It helps with redness and inflammation. These sound great and they are for most people. Occasionally with aloe, you hear of unexpected problems such as diarrhea, skin or eye irritation and possibly dehydration from the laxative effect.

By Chris Christopher heers, cheers and more cheers for Ocean County high school football. Three former standouts - that’s right, an amazing three - have earned chances at landing berths on National Football League teams. Cheer loudest for Mike Gesicki, the former Southern Regional and Penn State University standout selected 42nd overall - and 10th in the second round - by the Miami Dolphins as a tight end. Gesicki should have no trouble learning the Dolphins’ blocking scheme. He was an Academic All-Big Ten selection for the second time as a junior. Gesicki will command NFL millions. His agent is Patrick Collins of the Creative Artists Agency out of the Greater Nashville, Tn., area. Cheer also for Mike Basile and Tyrice Beverette. Basile, who starred at Brick Memorial and Monmouth University, wound up with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent after ravaging offenses as a defensive back with the Hawks. He is on the Colts’ premises as a mini camp invitee. Beverette, who excelled at Lakewood and Stony Brook University, will participate in the New York Jets’ post draft rookie mini camp. He is in camp as an undrafted free agent as a defensive back. The camp will take place the weekend of May 4-7. Basile and Beverette saw their prospects of winding up as NFL players soar Saturday, April 28 when they were called and informed of their destinations by the executives of their prospective new teams. Brick’s Mike Basile “It’s a great opportunity for me,” said Basile, a senior and a business administration major. “I was going into the day not expecting much. You obviously want to get
drafted, but everything will work out and I am just grateful for the opportunity. The Colts were one of the teams that showed a lot of interest in me right from the start. I feel with the safety position I play Indianapolis is one of the better chances for me to go in and make a team.” Basile, one of the Hawks’ captains, worked out in front of 21 NFL scouts from 18 league teams at Monmouth Football’s Pro Day at the Compete Academy in Neptune prior to the 2018 NFL Draft. He was joined by four Monmouth seniors and one ex-Hawk. Scouts from all 32 teams attended the Hawks’ practices and games last fall. They went through traditional NFL Combine metric tests along with positional drills. Basile earned a 5,04 prospect grade and flashed 4.69 speed in the 40-yard dash. “I think I had a good day out there,” Basile said. “I talked to a bunch of teams afterwards and got a lot of positive feedback so I was pretty happy with the way things went.” Basile, a 6-foot-1, 200-pounder, put up some of the best times for his position at a number of speed drills. “The scouts were pretty impressed with the numbers I put up in those three-cone and shuttle,” he said. Not much got past the former Mustang. Basile will graduate as the most decorated player in Monmouth history, earning consensus All-American honors as a junior and senior. He set the Monmouth record for career tackles with 433 last fall and finished as a four-time first-team All-Big South Conference selection, setting the conference record for solo stops with 285. The 2017 Big South Co-Defensive Player of the Year was named to the FCS ADA All-America Team earning the distinction of the top defensive back in the FCS. He also became the first Hawk to earn (NFL - See Page 21)

NFL: Continued From Page 20 First-Team All-American honors from the Associated Press and the Walter Camp Football Foundation. The safety added 22 passes defended, eight interceptions, seven sacks and six blocked kicks for coach Kevin Callahan. Basile played safety and running back at Brick Memorial under coach Walt Currie. Basile helped the Mustangs to the NJSIAA playoffs in each of his three varsity seasons, including 2013 when they were 6-4. He made 18 tackles in their Central Jersey Group IV playoff game against Manalapan. Basile notched 88 tackles, broke up 10 passes, forced one fumble and recovered three fumbles as a Brick Memorial senior. He added 540 rushing yards and 184 receiving yards as a senior with the Mustangs. He also starred as a junior, putting 82 tackles, 4 1/2 sacks and four forced fumbles into the book. He added 612 yards on 54 carries and 510 receiving yards. He scored 15 total touchdowns. Basile won three varsity letters in boys basketball for the Mustangs. Lakewood’s Tyrice Beverette Beverette competed at Monmouth Football’s Pro Day. He sped to two 4.58 clockings in the 40yard dash. He put up a 2.60 in the 20 dash and a 1.56 in the 10 dash. His vertical jump was 36 1/2. He went 10-2 in the broad jump. Beverette, a senior, finished his four-year career with 262 stops, including 27 1/2 tackles for yards lost. He paced the Seawolves in total tackles with 96 last fall and was named Stony Brook’s Most Valuable Defensive Player. He was one of four players chosen by teammates to captain the team in 2017. He was a second-team All-Colonial Athletic Association selection.
The Berkeley Times, June 2, 2018, Page 21 The Seawolves were named the Eastern College Athletic Conference Division I Football Championship Subdivision Team of the Year in 2017. They were honored at the 82nd Eastern College Football Awards Banquet at MetLife Stadium, the home of the Jets and the New York Giants, in East Rutherford. They tied their single-season wins record at 10-3. They were 7-1 in the CAA for their best conference record in history. They finished second to James Madison University. As a junior, the former Piner started all 11 games at rover. He notched a team-high 98 tackles, including nine tackles for yards lost, 4 1/2 sacks, four interceptions and four forced fumbles. He was a second-team AllCAA selection. As a sophomore, Beverette played in and started eight games and was named thirdteam All-CAA. His 47 tackles tied for third on the team and his 28 solo stops were second on the club. He had 3 1/2 tackles for yards lost, 1 1/2 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. As a freshman, he notched 21 tackles, including 4 1/2 tackles for yards lost, and three sacks. He added one interception and forced one fumble. He is a 6-foot, 210-pounder. Beverette was an all-timer’s all-timer at Lakewood where he starred at defensive back and quarterback for coach L.J. Clark and in basketball under coach Randy Holmes. Beverette notched 71 tackles, two pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles during his senior season. He totaled 1,532 yards and 16 touchdowns as a senior, helping the Piners to their first playoff berth in 10 years. He scored more than 1,000 career varsity points in basketball for the Piners. Beverette could not be reached for comment. Editor’s Note: monmouth.edu and stonybrook. edu contributed to this report.

Inside The Law Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets By: Michael Deem of R.C. Shea & 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 $5,000.00 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you and only provides $15,000.00 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 $250,000.00 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 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. Shea & Associates 732-505-1212 for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

County Remembers Fallen Police Officers
By Jennifer Peacock LAKEWOOD – As he made his way down the list of names, his pace slowed, his voice choked. At one point he needed a moment to compose himself. The room was silent, everyone’s eyes on retired Bay Head police chief William Dikun. It’s a list no one wants to read. A list that’s been read for the last 27 years. Dikun, the chief police instructor at the Ocean County Police Academy, was reading the list of 18 names, men and women - law enforcement - who died in the line of duty. The list is read at the annual Ocean County Law Enforcement Memorial Day Observance, held at the academy every year, attended by police officers, county officials, and this year, State Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal. “We get together in ceremonies like this across the country to remember those brave men and women that we’ve lost, to mourn them, to honor them, and we honor them because they’ve paid the ultimate sacrifice,” Grewal said. “We honor them because they ran to danger when others ran away. We
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County clerk Scott Colabella and surrogate Jeff Moran joined Freeholders John Kelly and Gerry Little to award the four best “My County” poster contest winners. The winners were: fi rst place, Leyna Bohlayer of Forked River School; second place, Christopher Herrera of Oak Street School in Lakewood; third place, Taylor DiMeola of Elms School in Jackson; and honorable mention Mia Fitzgerald of North Dover School in Toms River. The winners received BlueClaws tickets, passes to the Tuckerton Seaport, and other

honor them because they work tirelessly, tirelessly to rid our streets of criminals and to help people suffering from addiction… We honor them because they are our family members, our friends, our partners, our colleagues. “…I say that one death of a law enforcement officer in the line of duty is one death too many. These 19 officers span generations, from 1927 to 2015. Even though they span and served in different generations, they had something in common, and that was that they were bound by a common purpose: to protect us, and to keep us safe,” Grewal added. More than 21,000 law enforcement officers have died in the line of duty since the founding of the United States, the state attorney general said. Freeholder Gerry Little, who attended with fellow Freeholder Virginia Haines, thanked Grewal for his first official visit to the county as state attorney general. “When you leave, I hope you hear one message from all of us here in Ocean County: we are exceedingly proud of our
law enforcement community, and we here in Ocean County, we will have their backs always. We support them, and we believe they are second-to-none anywhere in the state of New Jersey,” Little said. Also in attendance were Police Academy director Brian Klimakowski, Ocean County Chiefs of Police Association president Karin DiMichele, county Prosecutor Joseph Coronato, Sheriff Michael Mastronardy and chaplain James Occhipinti. Those remembered, and their end of watch, are: Cpl. Scott R. Thompson, Manchester Township Police Department, EOW April 10, 2015 Det. John Scott Stevens, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, EOW Jan. 21, 2015 Det. Tina E. Rambo, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, EOW Aug. 1, 2011 Officer Christopher A.

What “My County” Means To Kids prizes. “Every year we do the ‘My County’ poster contest, which is sponsored by the county clerk’s office with the assistance of the county surrogate’s office,” Kelly told a packed room May 16. The contest changed a bit this year. Rather than the judging taking place in Toms River, the contest was conducted online. More than 19,000 people voted for their favorite from 10 posters from throughout the county. “We’re all just delighted that you all participated and all the comments that were on the page from the teachers and the parents and family members, brought a lot
of excitement which we see here today,” Colabella said. “We know Ocean County is a great place.” Mia’s poster showed the boardwalk, “because I think it represents Ocean County the best. And I also put some of the places I like to visit.” Taylor focused her poster on what the county is mostly known for. She focused on some of the municipalities and places around the county - Plumsted, Jackson, Lakehurst, Lakewood, Toms River, Barnegat and Tuckerton Seaport. Christopher’s family and friends took up several rows in the freeholder meeting

room. “First of all, we have the Ocean County Courthouse, which is across the street, and the hammer that the judge’s often use to say ‘court is dismissed.’ And there’s the stick that the police officers use,” he said. His poster also included a lake, American flag, a library book and the county seal. “When I think of my poster, I think of all the places by the shore that make Ocean County such a great place, like the Barnegat Lighthouse when I drive on my dad’s boat, and on kite night when I see the giant Ferris wheel, and the beach that I just love so much,” Leyna told the audience.

Bad Karma: Seaside Cracks Down On Nightclub
By Bob Vosseller SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Business Administrator Christopher J. Vaz plans to propose a set of proposals to end, “once and for all, the craziness that occurs this time of year with prom and graduation parties in Seaside Heights motel/hotels and apartments.” Vaz stated on social media on May 23 that the Borough Attorney Jean Cipriani was directed to seek an immediate injunction in Ocean County Superior Court toward the operator of Karma to stop its operation on grounds that the nightclub was in violation of the existing site plan approvals for a restaurant. According to the land use board’s 2008 approval the licensee must operate a full restaurant service to be run by an independent restauranteur on the first level. A 2002 site plan approval included a representation by the prior licensee that the proposed construction would contain a restaurant facility together with a pub which would have a sports bar theme. Live entertainment, specifically jazz, would be played on occasion at the site. The owners of Savor, the restaurant that previously operated out of the facility, announced in April that it would not be returning. The current ownership recently announced its opening on Memorial Day weekend as a nightclub on social media. Its grand opening was promised to include a May 27 “hyperglow party” which on social media describes itself as an ongoing large party of high energy dance music in an ultra violet atmosphere. Several criminal incidents that occurred during Memorial Weekend at Karma led to further scrutiny of the business’s operation. Borough Police Chief Thomas Boyd said May 28 that “due to the incidents of overdoses and un-
derage drinking I can’t comment on this ongoing investigation.” Vaz said that Cipriani will be directed to prepare and serve a separate administrative complaint seeking revocation of the operator’s Alcohol Beverage Commission license. He also stated that a multi-layered proposal will soon be presented to the governing body that would include the introduction of an ordinance resembling those in other municipalities that state, “no room shall be rented to any person who shall be under 21 years of age at the time of the rental when not accompanied by a parent or legal guardian or providing proof of emancipation. Said age is set to deter security issues associated with underage drinking, violence, and vandalism.” “Enough is enough,” Mayor Anthony Vaz said on May 28. “The Vaz administration will be working on this very forcefully and rapidly.” Mayor Vaz noted that Christopher, who is his son, also plans to introduce a resolution that directs code enforcement and requests state inspectors to strictly enforce occupancy limits and fire code requirements. The administrator also wants to see an ordinance approved that bans the sale of wristbands to persons who are not registered guests of the rental units. Vaz also posted to social media that “the problems in Seaside Heights will not fix themselves. History has proven year after year that babysitting the minors and trying to control the chaos is not the solution.” “We owe a greater effort to finding a solution to the Seaside Heights property owners - both residential and business owners - who have invested tens of millions of dollars into rebuilding the community after Superstorm Sandy,” Vaz added.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Ocean County Contractor Charged With Theft
By Jennifer Peacock POINT PLEASANT – A Point Pleasant contractor has been charged with theft. Salvatore Mattiaccio, who owns Level and Square Construction and Remodeling LLC, 3105 Bridge Ave., was charged with third-degree theft for keeping $40,000 after a woman cancelled her contract with him within the mandated three-day cancellation period. Authorities said the woman became skeptical of Mattiaccio, with whom she signed a contract to raise her flood-zone located home. She hand delivered a cancellation notice to the Bridge Avenue location after she reviewed
the contract with her attorney. The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office reported that the contract stipulated that the deposit would be returned within 30 days of cancellation. The unnamed woman never got her deposit back. Mattiaccio was out on probation for an unrelated matter, in which he was convicted of two counts for violating the Contractor Regisration Act in February. The prosecutor’s office is asking anyone with information on Mattiaccio to contact Detective Stephen Shadiack at the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027, ext. 2618.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE OCVTS Celebrates Apprenticeship Training Graduates
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Vocational Technical School (OCVTS) recently held a ceremony at Mancini Hall at the Ocean County Library to celebrate the completion of apprenticeship training for students in certain trades. The Apprenticeship Trades Certificate Awards recognized those who completed the Electricity; Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC-R); Plumbing; Automotive Mechanic and Maintenance Mechanic programs. The arduous, four-year apprenticeship programs demand a lot of time and effort. Students are required to take 576 hours of trade-related classroom instruction as well as log 8,000 hours of on-the-job training with an employer who sponsors the student. All of this, in just four years. During the ceremony, led by OCVTS Adult Education Principal and Apprenticeship Coordinator Mary Beatty-Sharisky, graduates were given certificates of completion from OCVTS. Students received various awards for their hard work and dedication through the years.
Presented by Assistant Superintendent Nancy Weber-Loeffert, the recipients of the Outstanding Student Awards were: • Maintenance Mechanic graduate Andrew Crawford, of Brick • HVAC-R graduate Michael Peter, Jr., of Manahawkin • Automotive Mechanic graduate Michael DeCrescenzo, of Lanoka Harbor • Plumbing Graduate Gregory Frachette, of Manahawkin.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUNE 2 - JUNE 9
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): You may need a factual transfusion to offset fantasies and confusion. As this week unfolds you can avoid conflicts by communicating clearly. You instinctively gravitate toward those who have your best interests at heart. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make the Memorial Day weekend memorable. It isn’t necessary to spend a lot of money to have a good time as fellowship is the key ingredient. A partner’s romantic ideas can make your time together heavenly. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Accept compliments and the generosity of others with good grace in the week ahead. Remain alert for unexpected assistance from a co-worker. Focus on ways to make improvements or solve a long-standing problem. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Win brownie points by being diplomatic and tactful. Someone close may be preoccupied with a project. Be prudent with your pennies because you might need more money than anticipated in the week to come. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may feel driven to make your goals a reality in the week to come. Take some time out to relax during the holiday weekend. Once the work week begins again you may be pressured to perform at a high level of efficiency. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Minor criticisms can help you make major improvements. In the week ahead, you should listen to the advice of others since they may see flaws you don’t notice. Count on enthusiastic support from family members.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Speak up for yourself. If you are too bashful to ask for your fair share, it will most likely go to someone else who is. Family dynamics may involve intense issues in the week ahead, creating the need for a united front. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Lay out the red carpet for visitors and treat co-workers like family in the week ahead. Your willingness to be generous and congenial, even when placed under a great deal of pressure, is likely to win approval. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It may not pay to focus on mere material success. Some money-making ideas may seem enticing in the week ahead, but paying the bills comes first. Pass up anything that involves cleaning out your piggy bank. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Loved ones might not share your intense ambitions as this week unfolds, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t cherished and respected. Remember to appreciate those who support you, no matter how busy you may be. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pull a few strings behind the scenes. Use your people skills in the week ahead to ensure that group activities run smoothly. Check your accounts so you have a clear picture of exactly where your dollars are going. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t fall for the delusion that you can pull off an illusion. You might bask in a rosy world of fantasy this week, but the world expects you to attend to business as usual. Enjoy holiday outings then get back to work.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Making Memories: Set A New Standard For Creative Summer Grilling By Wolfgang Puck “What should I grill?” That’s a question many Americans ask as they face the unofficial start of summer grilling season on Memorial Day. If you, like many others, love how fire and smoke enhance the appeal of just about any food, I’d like to suggest that you consider finding new ways to step up your grilling game. Sure, burgers, hot dogs and other simple classics are all excellent choices, but that sets the bar fairly low for the three months ahead. So, why not launch the season in style with bold tastes and beautiful presentations? When it comes to grilling, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to make more work for yourself. With some imagination and by serving your meal with thoughtfully prepared accompaniments, you can easily transform your outdoor cooking from ordinary to extraordinary. One of my favorite ways to give grilled food extra flavor is to marinate it. Steeping protein in a marinade infuses it with your seasonings and also, when acid is part of the mixture, helps to tenderize it. In the following recipe, I marinate flat iron steak - a cut that, coming from the more active shoulder muscles, is robust but can be chewy for half a day in a mixture of savory, spicy and sweet ingredients. They’re widely available in supermarkets, yet they produce a flavor profile reminiscent of China’s Szechuan region. The results are wonderfully tender, juicy and aromatic. (Far more tender boneless chicken needs just an hour or two of marinating if you decide to use it for this recipe, and fish fillets need no more than 30 minutes.) Another easy way to elevate your grilling is to prepare a separate, easy, non-grilled accompaniment that becomes part of the final presentation. One of the most popular ways to do this in when the weather is warm is to make a salad on which you serve the grilled food. Anyone who has ever turned a Caesar salad or spinach salad into a light but satisfying main dish by topping it with grilled chicken, salmon, shrimp or steak will understand this immediately, but you can also do the same thing with quickly sauteed or stir-fried vegetables. The quarter hour or so rest that grilled steaks need to allow their bubbling-hot juices to settle before you slice them is more than enough time for you to cook a beautiful medley of vegetables that you finish with a simple glaze that leaves them glistening with delicious flavor. I hope you’ll try my recipe this Memorial Day - and I wish you a summer filled with happy grilling! GRILLED SZECHUAN-MARINATED FLATIRON STEAKS WITH CHILI-GARLIC GLAZED VEGETABLES Serves 4 SZECHUAN-MARINATED STEAKS: 1 cup (250 mL) soy sauce 3/4 cups (185 mL) honey 1/2 cup (125 mL) Worcestershire sauce 1/2 cup (125 mL) mirin or sweet sake 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped garlic
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped shallots 1/4 cup (60 mL) tomato ketchup 1/4 cup (60 mL) lemon juice 1/4 cup (60 mL) sambal (bottled chili-garlic paste) 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning 2 thick slices ginger root, smashed 4 flat iron steaks, or skirt or flank steaks, each 8 ounces (250 g) Kosher salt CHILI-GARLIC GLAZED VEGETABLES: 1/4 cup (60 mL) good-quality low-sodium chicken stock or broth 3 tablespoons bottled oyster sauce 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine or pale dry sherry 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon sambal (bottled chili-garlic paste) 2 tablespoons peanut oil 8 fresh shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and quartered 8 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) pieces 2 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch (12 mm) pieces) 4 small heads baby bok choy, trimmed and quartered lengthwise 1/2 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) slices Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish Chopped fresh scallions, for garnish For the Szechuan-marinated steaks, in a large nonreactive bowl combine the soy sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mirin or sake, garlic, shallots, ketchup, lemon juice, sambal, black pepper and ginger, and whisk thoroughly. Transfer to a nonreactive container just large enough to hold the steaks flat, side by side. Add the steaks, and turn them in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours, turning the steaks two or three times. Build a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high. Remove the steaks from the marinade and season on both sides with a little salt and pepper. Grill until medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set aside on a platter, covered with foil, to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. While the steaks are resting, cook the chili-garlic glazed vegetables: In a small mixing bowl, prepare a glaze by stirring together the chicken stock or broth, oyster sauce, rice wine or sherry, sugar, minced garlic and sambal. Set aside. Heat the peanut oil in a wok or a large saute pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms, asparagus, scallions, bok choy and red onion; cook, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are shiny and brightly colored, about 2 minutes. Add the glaze mixture and continue stir-frying over high heat until the vegetables are tender-crisp and evenly coated, 1 to 2 minutes longer. To serve, arrange the vegetables on 4 heated serving plates. Cut each steak crosswise and at a 45-degree angle into thin slices and fan them on top of the vegetables. Garnish with cilantro and scallions, and serve immediately.
