Monmouth County, Military Base To Share Services By Kimberly Bosco COLTS NECK – Monmouth County recently signed a unique agreement that will allow for the first ever shared services agreement in the state of New Jersey between a county government and a military entity. On May 23, at the Naval Weapons Station Earle (NWS Earle), some Monmouth County Freeholders attended the signing of the Intergovernmental Support Agreement that would allow for the county to provide shared services to NWS Earle, such as traffic signal maintenance, unimproved road maintenance, snow and ice control, and storm drainage repairs, among others. “This creative partnership with NWS Earle builds on our great success in providing shared services to other entities, reducing duplication of services and the burden on taxpayers,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the County’s shared services program, in
By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – The gymnasium was decked out in vibrant, bright colors and stocked with tons of tasty, ethnic treats for world language students at Howell High School for their International Festival. According to Rebecca Policastro, Communications & District Projects Coordinator for the Freehold Regional High School District, the International Festival is “the world language departments’ culminating event and features students who are studying a language.” Spanish teacher Sandra Kluswicz remarked that the festival is only for students at Howell HS that take a world language: Spanish, French, or Italian. “The kids did a great job,” she said. The festival, which was put on every year in the past, now runs every other year. (Festival - See Page 2)

Continued From Page 1 Klusewicz said that all of the decorating and food was prepared by the world language students. Students made dishes relevant to the language they study in class, such as rice and beans, croissants, and other unique ethnic dishes. They also contributed desserts, snacks, and beverages. The idea was to have all of the students try each other’s food and celebrate the different cultures and languages that they study. The festival ran for the entire school day, said Policastro, but each period a new class world language of students would take the period to experience some new cultures at the festival. “Rather than going to class, they come here,” where they can try the food prepared by other
students in other world language classes, said Klusewicz. Food was not the only centerpiece of this festival, however. There were also a variety of performances by students that represented different cultures. “The kids are asked if they want to volunteer [to perform] and then they sign up,” said Klusewicz. While participation in the event is not mandatory for class, Emma Varrial, another Spanish teacher at HHS, noted that a lot of the world language students choose to participate by in bringing food or performing. In just one period, students put on a mock soccer game to celebrate the highly popular sport in Spain and three students performed a choreographed dance to popular Spanish song “Mi Gente.” In addition to this, student Nicole
Roble sang in Spanish while playing guitar to an original Disney song from the film “Coco,” called “Un Poco Loco.” A particularly interesting part of the festival was that it did not limit students to celebrating only the languages offered at HHS. While the school offers Spanish, French, and Italian, students went the extra mile to bring in Japanese-inspired food or show off unique art native to their own culture. Howell student Vinita Mhatre brought her own culture into the mix by performing a traditional South Indian dance called Bharatanatyam. Mhatre was dressed in traditional Indian garb and performed a lovely dance for her fellow students to show them all a little bit of her culture. Mhatre said that, although she and her family are actually North Indian, the dance still demonstrates a meaningful part of her culture

and it is also something she enjoys doing in her free time as a dancer. The performance aspect of the festival was a favorite among students as they sat in the audience and cheered loud and proud for their fellow language students. Policastro said that other students planned to perform opera and sing a Spanish tribute to famous Mexican artists, Selena as well. The gymnasium was packed with students all day long and, as it is an event meant only for world language students, it required a certain level of “security.” “We have quite a system, teachers rotate to different spots, manning the doors, take attendance,” so other students don’t sneak in, said Varrial. “For the most part, it’s a wonderful day,” said Varrial.

Continued From Page 1 a press release. “Monmouth County has the resources to benefit municipalities in both maintenance and construction services along with responding to emergencies.” This agreement is also a first within the US Navy, according to Monmouth County officials. “The agreement follows the passage of A2514, legislation that permits local units of government to enter into shared services agreements with federal military installations located in the state,” it stated in a press release.
This project is the newest addition to shared services agreements that the county already has in place with other government entities, school districts and emergency service departments. Shared services allow the local government to reduce expenses and save the taxpayers more money. According to officials, Monmouth County’s “fee-based business model” allows them to share services with other partners at a lower cost, enabling participants to lower capital and operating costs. “The mission of Naval Weapons Station Earle is such an important part of our nation’s safety
and security and the county is proud to partner and support NWS Earle,” said Deputy Director Lillian Burry, also present at the signing. NWS Earle thanked Arnone, Burry, and the Monmouth County staff for helping to make this agreement a reality. “By signing this agreement today, we are providing the U.S. Navy access to the unique capabilities and expertise available from the county,” said Commanding Officer, Captain Pierre A. Fuller. Freeholder Gerry Scharfenberger remarked in a Facebook post: “The historic signing of a shared services agreement between Naval
Weapons Station Earle and Monmouth County should make every taxpayer proud of
the leadership in their county. This is a prime example of how government should work two branches coming together to devise a way to expand services and save taxpayer dollars.” “Through our shared services initiatives, municipalities, authorities, commissions, public schools, institutions of higher education and local emergency services departments have reduced costs and increased efficiencies, while continuing to deliver a high quality of services to residents,” said Director Arnone.
NJ FFA Awards Monmouth County With Distinguished Service Award
By Kimberly Bosco FREEHOLD –The Monmouth County Division of Economic Development’s Grown in Monmouth program was the recipient of the 2018 Future Farmers of America (FFA) 2018 Distinguished Service Award at the 89th Annual State FFA Convention on May 24, 2018. The Grown in Monmouth program helps to retain and grow the agriculture industry within the county, identify new markets, and connect growers with consumers in order to make Monmouth County a go-to source for agricultural products, activities and services. The award was accepted by Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone at the convention “I would like to thank the Allentown Chapter of FFA and the State Association for giving our program the 2018 NJ FFA Distinguished
Service Award.” said Freeholder Director Arnone. “We are very fortunate to have active and talented FFA chapters in Monmouth County that work to grow our agricultural industry.” Also in attendance was Freeholder Deputy
Directory Lillian G. Burry, who was presented with the 2018 Honorary State FFA Degree for her significant contributions to the FFA and school-based food, agriculture and natural resources education in New Jersey.
“I thank the FFA for this honor and remain a stalwart supporter as future generations are prepared to meet the challenges of feeding a growing population. The FFA teaches us that agriculture is more than planting and harvesting – it’s a science, it’s a business and it’s an art. I look forward to working together in a collaborative effort to support agriculture and farming in Monmouth County,” said Deputy Director Burry. FFA members and advisors will be educating the public with interactive displays and raising funds for their programs at the Monmouth County Fair from July 25 to 29.

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 t r uly 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 mont h. I n respon se to Booker’s questions, Zuckerberg indicated openness to auditing the fi rm’s

would continue that support.” The FY 2019 National Defe n se Author i zat ion Act (NDAA) has a topline of $717 billion, $17.4 billion more than the FY2018 NDAA. It authorizes a pay increase for servicewomen and men of 2.6 percent, more than the 2.4 percent raise in the previous NDAA and the largest in nine years. This includes $10.2 million for Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to re pla ce t he Hot Ca rgo Hyd r a nt Syst e m , u s e d
for aircraft that require hazardous cargo parking. “As the current refueling system is broken, the aircraft with hazardous cargo must be refueled by tanker trucks - a time-and-labor intensive process that is costly, i nef f icie nt a nd increases the risk of fuel spills,” Smith said. “This necessary replacement of the hydrant system would upgrade the safet y and efficiency of the tanker refueling at the base.” Also, U.S. military readiness receives another significant boost in the bill,
which authorizes: $39.5 billion for new aircraft $36 billion for new ships and the maintenance of existing ships $23.3 billion for repairs and rebuilding of military buildings and infrastructure $18.6 billion for rehabilitation and replacement of worn out Army equipment “ It’s ve r y i mp or t a nt to note that the current legislation rejects authorization for the military’s Ba se Realig n ment a nd

Sm it h supp or t e d t he F Y2018 N DA A, wh ich provided support to the men and women serving in the armed forces and author ized over $146.5 million for JB-MDL for construction projects related to the arrival of the KC-46A refueling tanker anticipated for 2021, as well as $11.6 million for Navy Reserve and Marine Cor ps Reser ve projects at the base for aircraf t apron, taxiway, and support facilities.
Facebook Has The Power To Be Used Ethically 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, discr iminator y 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 “ver y 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. Rather, 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 organiza-
tions 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
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.

Howell Soccer Club Receives New AED HOWELL – Howell Soccer Club (HSC) is pleased to announce the acquisition of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) for use at Oak Glen Park. After receiving a grant from Express Companies, Inc., HSC was able to purchase the potentially life-saving device this past April. In accordance with the New Jersey (NJ) Good Samaritan Law, the AED would be utilized in the event of a cardiac emergency by an American Red Cross certified lay responder. Currently, Howell Soccer Club has personnel who possess the proper certifications for use of the device; and, will continue to certify board members through the summer of 2018. “[Howell Soccer Club] took another crucial step toward ensuring the safety of our players, coaches, and members of the community through this purchase,” HSC Director of Operations, Ryan Foley, spoke of the AED acquisition. “While we have always worked closely with [Howell Township’s] first responders, we can now take early action in the cardiac chain of survival, should there ever be a need.” Foley, who possesses a professional level certification in CPR/AED and First Aid from the American Red Cross, first looked to write the grant after attending a safety course through Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Howell Soccer Club, which has recently undergone a review of their best practices and policies, is currently in the process of developing a more comprehensive Emergency Action Plan (EAP). “With various emergency scenarios that may occur at our facilities during our use, HSC wants to ensure that board members and staff
The Annual Battle of Monmouth Reenactment
MANALAPAN – On June 28, 1778 the original Battle of Monmouth took place. Over 200 years later the battle is memorialized at the tail end of June in celebration of the historic event. Hundreds of soldiers grace the field where the initial battle took place and do a reenactment that serves as a reminder of our past. The reenactment will take place on June 16 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at 16 State Route 33, Manalapan. Admission is free.
Students Showcase Artwork in End of Year Show at HHS
HOWELL – Howell High School hosted their 9th annual art show where students in the school’s autism program showcased their creativity. Several pieces created by the 46 students were shown in a slideshow presentation to their peers and parents. Awards were handed out for various achievements during the 2017-2018 school year. Also at the ceremony, the class of 2018 graduates were recognized and invited onstage with their families.
can best support the patrons of the park,” Foley said. “In coordination with the township’s emergency services and Department of Public Works, HSC plans to have the updated EAP completed by the start of the fall season.” According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), “Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death
in young athletes.” The NCBI claims that the chances of survival increase from 41 percent to 75 percent if an AED is used properly within 3 to 4 minutes of arrest. The device will reside on the premises at all times and will be available for use on gamedays. HSC is currently reviewing options that will allow the AED to be accessible to
the public 24/7. Howell Soccer Club highly recommends that all coaches and parents receive certification with the American Red Cross to utilize AEDs and perform basic life-saving skills. For information on how to receive CPR/ AED and First Aid certifications, please visit redcross.org.

Monmouth County To Test Alternative Schedule For Rumson/Sea Bright Bridge
RUMSON – The Rumson-Sea Bright Br idge (S -32) over the Sh rewsbu r y River will operate on an alter native marine traffic schedule, opening on the hour on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays f rom May 25 th rough Sept. 3 as part of a trial test period this summer. The Monmouth County Department of Public Works and Engineering requested that the U.S. Coast Guard consider an alternative schedule in attempt to balance the seasonally high volume of roadway traffic during peak hours with the needs of marine traffic. “The current schedule provides that the bridge open for marine traffic on the hour and half hour which causes signif icant delays for vehicles traveling on the bridge,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Depar t ment of Public Works and Engi neer i ng. “T he Cou nt y has requested an alter native schedule to lessen the impact on the public traveling over the bridge and the surrounding communities.” Begin ning on May 25, and going
through Sept. 3, on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays (Memorial Day, Independence Day (July 4) and Labor Day), the bridge will open for marine traffic every hour, on the hour, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. For all other times, the bridge will be opened on demand as necessary. “The County’s Division of Engineering will be monitoring the test schedule very closely and hopes that the expected positive impact of this schedule change will lead to a permanent change of the current regulations,” said Director Arnone. Previously, the bridge opened on the hour and half hour from May 15 through Sept. 30 as per Code of Federal Regulations (33 CFR 117.755). The Coast Guard will make a final decision on the future bridge marine opening schedule based on data collected during the test period as well as public comments. If you have questions on this test deviation, call or email Ms. Donna Leoce, P roject Of f icer, Fi r st Coa st G u a rd D ist r ic t , t ele phone 212 –514 – 4332 , donna.d.leoce@uscg.mil.

LONG BRANCH – Monmouth Medical Center (MMC), an RWJBarnabas Health facility, has received a $4 million transformational leadership gift from the Dawkins Family to support its Women’s Services program. MMC has named this new Women’s Services program in honor of the late Judith W. Dawkins, a long-time benefactor and MMC Foundation Trustee. “Everyone who knew Judi knows how much her spirit and her boundless energy impacted MMC,” said her husband Pete Dawkins. “The Women’s Health Program is a fitting and wonderful way for her to be remembered: as a champion, always striving to make things better, and to help those around her.” The Judith W. Dawkins Women’s Health Program will expand the current array of highly specialized services, providing comprehensive community-based services to women at any age. “By building on the shared insights and synergies of MMC’s medical staff and administration, the program will look to continually expand the frontier of women’s care,” Pete said. “Our attention, just like Judi’s, is on all of
the unique challenges women commonly deal with,” said Bill Arnold, President and CEO of Monmouth Medical Center. “Through the Dawkins Family’s generous donation, we are honored to bring Judi’s vision for a vital and comprehensive women’s health program to fruition, and we look forward to its continued growth as a pillar of Monmouth Medical Center’s commitment to women and the community.” Services offered through the Judith W. Dawkins Women’s Health Program include: primary care and health maintenance for women, obstetrics, breast health, cancer prevention, autoimmune disease care, nutrition and sports medicine, gynecology, cardiovascular health, mental health, radiology, as well as assembling leading researchers, educators and clinicians. “Judi understood that women’s health care calls for specialized programs and services. She knew Monmouth Medical Center was ready to take that lead,” said Pete. “This gift celebrates Judi’s quest to empower women to lead stronger, healthier lives.” This gift also establishes the Judith W. Dawkins Ambassador of Excellence Award. It will be presented to a clinician, MMC trustee or outstanding community leader who exemplifies Judi’s visionary guidance, exceptional leadership, and the highest ethical standards. “In addition, the Executive Board Room will be named the Judith W. Dawkins Executive Board Room,” Pete said. “This is only fitting, as Judi spent over two decades making decisions leading the path to success for Monmouth Medical Center.” Judi had a lasting influence on MMC during her 20+ years of service as a trustee, board chair, nominating chair and leader. Her legacy at MMC extends to almost every area of the institution. Especially noteworthy was her time as chair of the MMC Foundation’s board from 2000 to 2003, where she helped launch the “Redefining Health Care Capital Campaign.” The campaign included oversight of $15 million in upgrades for the Leon Hess Cancer Center and the expansion of the Jacqueline M. Wilentz Comprehensive Breast Center.

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.

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.
Robert C. Shea Esq.
Michael J. Deem
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.

MNHS Students Learn About The Vietnam War From Veterans MANALAPAN – Members of the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 12 visited Manalapan High School to speak with students during an interactive presentation on May 22. Students were given a brief overview of the Vietnam War before volunteers learned about basic training. The group was tasked with sitting as one unit. The veterans outfitted a student with all the gear they would wear during a typical patrol, highlighting
how heavy the equipment is. Students also saw what the veterans called the “original cell phone,” a roughly 25-pound communication device which would be strapped to a soldier’s back. Students were invited to view a selection of items including helmets, scrapbooks, and MREs (Meals Ready to Eat). Several students stopped to chat one-on-one with the veterans, offering thanks for their service.

GAME SHOW WEDNESDAY
By Kimberly Bosco LINCROFT – Eighty-eight new law enforcement and corrections officers were sworn in and received their police training commission certifications during the graduation ceremony at Brookdale Community College on May 23. Of those 88 graduates, there were 23 recruits of the 94th Basic Course for Police Officers, 57 recruits from the 45th Basic Course for Class ll Special Law Enforcement Officers and eight recruits from 36th Basic Course for County Corrections Officers. “By successfully completing this training, these fine men and women have demonstrated their commitment to law enforcement and corrections,” said Sheriff Shaun Golden, whose agency runs the Monmouth County Police Academy and had one officer graduate from the basic recruit class. “That is a great privilege, since there is no higher responsibility, than maintaining public safety. I’m proud of their accomplishments and commend all for a job well done.” Both courses for Police Officers and Class II Special Law Enforcement Officers are run through the Monmouth County Police Academy. For Police Officers, trainees must go through a 20 week program with 780 hours of training. For Class II Special Law Enforcement, the course is a three month program and with approximately 600 hours of training with full police powers while on duty. Training consists of patrol concepts, defensive driving, professional development, weaponry and unarmed defense, criminal investigation, ethics, emergency medical care and physical training, amongst other areas. “Through their strong commitment and hard work, we can be sure that these graduates will serve our residents and communities well as they begin successful careers in law enforcement,” said Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni. For County Corrections Officers, training is 12 weeks. The corrections officers train in physical training and drill, learn how to properly use firearms, batons, handcuffing techniques and mechanical restraints, train

Medical Science Magnet Program Seniors Invited to Shannon Luminary Lecture Series
FREEHOLD – A group of seniors in the Medical Sciences Magnet Program at Freehold High School traveled to Nokia Bell Labs in Murray Hill after being invited to attend a lecture presented within the Shannon Luminary Lecture Series, titled “The Future of Cancer Prevention.” Ms. Cyn Sikora, Bell Labs Global Program Director and promoter of STEM education, greeted the Freehold group and provided students an opportunity to experience the visionary world of science. The Med Sci students began their visit with a guided tour through the archives of Bell Labs. The students were presented with past, current, and future technologies, including many medically connected technologies. Next, Ms. Sikora escorted the students to the auditorium for the lecture presentation. Ms. Sikora also surprised the group by introducing them to Dr. Robert Woodrow Wilson, an American Astronomer and the 1978 Nobel laureate in physics. Dr. Wilson with Arno Penzias discovered cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), which served as important corroboration of the Big Bang Theory. The students were in awe with the opportunity to meet a Nobel Prize winner. The students enjoyed the “The Future of Cancer Prevention” lecture given by Dr. Benjamin Ebert, co-director of the cancer program at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and Chair of Medical Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Based on their science knowledge gained through the Med Sci Program, the students embraced the discussion about cellular mutations, biochemistry, and immunotherapy. Students described the visit to Nokia Bell Labs as enlightening.

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 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.
