(Bottom) The statue of a firefighter overlooks a plaque reading “Gone but never forgotten.” By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – After more than a decade of fundraising, the memorial to fallen firefighters has been completed, officials said. The memorial consists of three large stones that have the names of firefighters who have passed away. Each stone is from one local volunteer company: Bayville, Manitou Park, and Pinewald Pioneer. A statue of a fi refighter was done by local sculptor Brian Hanlon. Another statue of a fireman’s hat was inscribed with the name of Eugene

By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Who would steal a garden? That’s the question volunteers are asking themselves as the survey the damage done by persons unknown recently. The Wrangle Brook Community Garden has two sections. One for members to grow their own food. The other grows food for donations. That section got hit overnight. They are asking anyone in the public to
keep an eye out for anyone who suddenly has a garden of fully-grown vegetable plants. They estimated that they lost 25 pepper plants, 10 tomato plants, and numerous other plants, said Janice Needham, the garden’s pantry manager. They were dug out of the ground, so the thief intends to replant them. What they probably didn’t realize was that the sunflowers that they (Garden - See Page 5)

Memorial:
Continued From Page 1 Furey, a firefighter who died in the line of duty in 1988. The spot for the memorial was chosen in Veterans Park on Veterans Boulevard, where it can be seen during community events. This is important because most people don’t give much thought to firefighters, unless they’re needed. Patrick Piccoli, former chief of the Manitou Park Fire Company, said the memorial will help remind people of the selfless dedication that firefighters have, and how they are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, like Furey did. He said the memorial cost about $125,000, and they had been working on it since 2005. Some of the work was done by Berkeley’s Public Works Department. Fundraising Continues Although the bulk of the project is done, the group will continue fundraising to maintain the memorial. It costs between $400-500 to add a name to the stones, Piccoli said. For those wishing to donate, purchase a paver, or acquire more information, contact Piccoli at (732) 597-8379. Checks can be sent to P.O. Box 266, Berkeley Township, N.J. 08721.

Garden:
Continued From Page 1 stole can’t be replanted. They are just going to die. Some of the plants were stolen from the members’ individual areas. But most of it was stolen from an area that was used to grow food for the local food pantry, she said. Large footprints were seen in the pepper beds. This is the third year the garden has been in operation. Wrangle Brook donates 3,000 pounds of fresh produce a year, primarily to the People’s Pantry. “This was stolen out of the mouths of these people,” Needham said. Also stolen: the hard work and time that the dedicated volunteers spent since February cultivating these plants. Recently, they had noticed a few plants missing. They were just gone, and the dirt was pushed over to cover the hole. This was the first large-scale theft, she said. The only thing that was destroyed was a fence, said Needham. This was bad enough since the fence – which is necessary to keep deer out – cost $7,000. The garden is named after the nearby brook, which was a bathing beach a long time ago. It had become overgrown over the years, with derelict basketball courts. All that changed a few years ago when a group of volunteers reclaimed it and turned it into a nice little community garden that local residents could use. It’s located off Southhampton Road.
The Latest in Vision Correction Technology B. Athwal, MD • H. Athwal, MD • L. Athwal, MD N. Athwal, OD • D. McDonald, MD –Photos courtesy Janice Needham The fence was cut open for people to remove the plants. The garden members will replant and continue to work on creating more donations this year, said Bonney Parker, coordinator for the garden. The garden members had just dropped off a shipment of 77 pounds of lettuce and Swiss chard. These are not heavy vegetables, so 77 pounds is quite a bit, she noted. “We’re just stunned somebody would do such a terrible thing,” Parker said. “It’s just so cruel.” The Berkeley Township Police tip line is 732-341-1132 ext. 611. Information can be given anonymously.
Three pepper plants were stolen from a member’s garden.

House Passes Sweeping Bipartisan Bill To Combat Addiction From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur WASHINGTON, D.C. – Over the past two weeks the House of Representatives has passed more than 50 bipartisan bills to address all aspects of the opioid crisis. These bills addressed specific ways to improve public policy to provide better treatment and recovery, step up drug abuse prevention efforts, protect communities by giving law enforcement
the tools they need, and target the scourge of synthetic opioids like fentanyl that are driving this crisis. T h is pa ck age i nclude d C o n g r e s s m a n To m MacAr thur’s (R-3 rd ) bipartisan bills, the SENIOR Communities Protection Act and the STOP Fentanyl Deaths Act, as well as five bills that were top Task Force priorities, and 30 that were authored by a
member of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force. Co-chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, Rep. Tom MacArthur, released the following statement on passage of H.R. 6 the Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes O p i o i d R e c ove r y a n d Treat ment (SU PPORT) for Patients and Communities Act: “As co-chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, I have been focused on work i ng w it h my c olleagues to improve prevention, treatment, and enforcement efforts.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY F EATURED L ETTER Family Time And Family Entertainment My generation - granted it’s a while back - would sit together enjoying shows like M*A*S*H, Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda, Dick Van Dyke, etc. I realize that life changes but is it really for the better? When one turns on the TV and sees so many killing shows, on a Saturday morning no less, when kids are looking for cartoons or wholesome shows - is it any wonder that teenagers are running around with weapons? Family life is not what it used to be and I surely see that, but life in America is no way better than it used to be. A few younger people have said to me “this isn’t the 50s” – you’re darn right - that’s why we were called the greatest generation and
I was privileged to marry and raise my children during that time. We sat as a family every night at 6 and ate together. Sure, some of us had other things to do after dinner but that was that one meal of the day we ate together and I’m so glad now we did. And so, as I reflect on the past and look around the world I have to wonder what are other countries/islands doing better than we are? If I were raising children today, there would be no phones on the dinner table. Families, just talk to each other before our current civilization is wiped out and I’m not kidding.

Letters To The Editor Freeholder Parts Ways With Republican Party After my commitment to the Republican Party, I find that the direction of t h e p a r t y i n M o n mouth Cou nt y is one I can no longer follow. I filed a petition to run for re-election as your Monmouth County Freeholder as an Independent. I didn’t leave the County Re pu bl ic a n Pa r t y, t h e County Republican Party left me. To qualify for the November ballot, the law requires that I have 100 sig nat u res on my pe tition. I f iled my petitions with more than 450 s ig n a t u r e s . T h e Mo n mouth County Republican boss Shaun Golden wa s s o u p s e t w it h my decision to run as an Independent that he filed a formal challenge to my petition with the Monmouth Cou nt y Clerk. T his Cou nt y Clerk, by the way, is also the Monmouth County Republican Vice Chair. Imagine that! Can you say conf lict of interest? Now here is the funny par t: Republican Par t y boss Golden was so incompetent that he challenged less than 200 of t he 450 -plus sig nat u re on my petitions. So, even i f G old e n wo n a l l h i s challenges, I would still have 250 valid signatures on my petition when only 100 are required by law. In the end, the Clerk only dismissed 133 signatures so I easily qualified to be on the ballot in November as an Independent. I than k each and ever y person who sig ned up to support me and I look forward to meeting many more residents of Monmouth County as I campaign to be the first Independent elected to t he Mon mout h Cou nt y Board Of Chosen Free-

MacArthur Fights Drug Crisis As the mother of a recent high school graduate, I am constantly trying to keep up with the changing trends of teenagers. Whether it is the newest social media app, YouTube video, or slang term that has become a regular part of my child’s vocabular y, each d ay br i ngs new i n for mat ion a s to how our children interact w it h t he world a rou nd them and how as parents, we can remain engaged and informed about how to keep our kids safe. The opioid crisis provides ter r if ying statist ic s fo r o u r s t a t e a n d nation. I n New Jersey, 2,056 people died of an opioid overdose in 2016. I n 2 018 , m o r e t h a n 2 million Americans will suf fer f rom opioid addiction. It is imperative that our elected officials work together with law enforcement to get these drugs off of our streets, and away from our kids. As co-chair of the Bip a r t i s a n H e r o i n Ta s k Force, Congressman Tom MacArthur has been doi ng a l l t h a t h e c a n t o combat t h is c r isis.

Remembering The Good Old Days C a n a nyo n e r e m e m ber a t i me when you could leave your house u n locked 24 -7 a nd not worry? Ever get bumped by some one wh i le out du r ing the holidays and the person actually t u r ned arou nd to say “Excuse me.” Ca n you remember holding a door open for a stranger and them than k i ng you for it? Well, I can, and how times have changed. I remember when everyone stood for the national anthem with hand over heart. I remember when everyone you knew or spoke to was a patriot and respected our f lag. I remember when Civics was taught in school so we could learn about our f lag, ou r C on st it ut ion and our rights. I remember people spoke the truth without being politically correct. Remember when immigrants had to register and get vaccinated at Ellis Island when entering our great land. I remember when the people’s candidate won an election. They celebrated and those whose candidate lost dealt with it u nt i l n e x t ele c t io n . Not resist, name call and point fingers. Remember a congress that did what the people elected them to do? Take care of us and most importantly, protect us. Not
a nd money app oi nt i ng special cou ncils to t r y and remove a president t hey don’t ag ree w it h. Deal with it, until next election and do your jobs. I can remember when the safety and security of our nation was f irst priority for a president or polit icia n. We have p e ople i n ou r c ou nt r y today illegally that are career criminals or gang members. We have polit icia n s t o d ay lo ok i ng to protect a nd prov ide them sanctuar y. Isn’t it the responsibility of all politicians and non-polit icia n s we ele ct f rom either side of the aisle, to look out for the safety and well-being of the law abiding citizens of our nation? I ask, how did this great country of ours get in the mess it’s in today? Ha s ou r nat ion been sold out from beneath us by spineless past presidents? Or was it on the backs of spineless past politicians? I remember presidents that did what was best for our nation. They always thought of us first. I remember when presidents showed strength, courage and stayed true to their word. I remember when they made us proud. They stood up for us agai nst other cou nt r ies and ou r enem ies. They didn’t draw artificial lines in the sand and then turn their back and walk away. I remember the presid e nt s a n d p ol it ic i a n s who had spines; they are the ones who made our nation great. I remember the presidents and politicians who we re spi ne -le ss, t hose just took away from our nation’s greatness. Does anyone else remember? Joseph Flannery Jr. Jackson

Also, congratulations to the winners of our three academic scholarships for 2018. Each year the Berkeley Shores Homeowners’ Civic Association awards scholarships to deserving high school seniors who are attending an accredited two-year or four-year college in the fall. This year, our organization gave three, $750 scholarships to graduating seniors. The winners were: Thomas Ruscitti and Sarah Dowdy of Central Regional High School Sarah Kispert of Hunterdon Central High School. All three deserving individuals have family in our community. BSHCA Scholarship Chairperson Carol Rusnak made the announcement of the winners at the Central Regional High School awards night on May 24.
The scholarship committee including Jim Benn, BSCHA 2nd vice president Bob Nunn and Kathi Nunn deserve special recognition for their tireless efforts in completing this project. Information about the scholarship awards and a photo can be found at berkeleyshores. org/scholarship.html. Once again, the End of the Summer Dance will take place at the Captain’s Inn in Forked River in September. This year we are attempting to keep the ticket price at about the same as last year’s $65 cost. The four-hour event, which includes dinner, a professional DJ and dancing is always a popular end-of-the-season outing. To register or get more information, contact our Social Director(s) Jerry and Joanne Coppola at gjcoppola@yahoo.com The BSCHA would like to thank Berkeley Township Mayor Carmen Amato for spending more than an hour with us at the annual membership breakfast on June 9 at the Berkeley Recreation Center on Route 9. Mayor Amato answered more than 20 questions from members and residents on issues involving Berkeley Shores and the township; issues ranging from the quality of our drinking water, to township recreational facilities, garbage collection, law enforcement and Cedar Creek Golf Course. The BSCHA would like to schedule another public meeting with Mayor Amato and local administrators in the fall either at H&M Potter School or the Recreation Building. We will update the public on such a meeting in the coming weeks.

IS THERE SOMETHING IN YOUR EYE? If dirt, dust, or an eyelash gets in your eye, resist the impulse to rub it. Instead, try flushing these tiny particles with a few drops of artificial tears or water (using an eye cup or small glass). Fill the glass with water, and place the lower rim of the glass on the bone at the base of the eye socket. Slowly tip the glass upward, and let the water run over your opened eye. Otherwise, have someone inspect your eye by gently pulling your lower lid downward while you look upward. Then, reverse the procedure for the upper lid. If the foreign object can be located, have it removed with a moistened swab or clean cloth. Another way to flush a foreign object from your eye is to get into the shower and aim a gentle stream of lukewarm water on your forehead over the affected eye while holding your eyelid open. If you’re wearing contact lenses, remove the lens before or while you’re irrigating the surface of the eye with water. Sometimes a foreign body can be embedded on the undersurface of the lens. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Buying A Hearing Aid Is So Confusing
Is it really possible to simplify the purchase of a hearing aid? The answer is, probably maybe. In fact, there is so much advertising of product A through Z that I believe many potential hearing aid wearers are too confused to take the next step. Which manufacturers make the best hearing aids? In my opinion, the major players include Phonak, Widex, Sonic Innovations, GN Resound, Starkey, Siemens and Oticon. These manufacturers are focusing their research on digital technology in an attempt to improve speech understanding in background noise. Digital hearing aids are recommended for the active individual who can afford the technology. Digital hearing aids work best as a pair, or binaural set, to provide hearing balance. The minimal
cost of low level digitals is around $2,000 and higher end digitals can cost up to $6,500 for a pair. Make sure you have a trial period to evaluate the benefits of any hearing aid. Trial periods will range from 30 to 60 days. Professional service fees (i.e., non-refundable) should only apply if you return the hearing aid(s) for refund. The hearing health care professional needs to account for his/her time and in many cases, will spend four to five hours with a patient during the specified trial period. Dr. Izzy recommends that if you are not satisfied with the performance of the first hearing aid, try a different aid from another manufacturer with possibly different technology. The worst thing you can do is to “walk out with the same hearing problem” that you walked in with.
Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Expanded Whiting Hours!
Tick Awareness Month: Tick-Borne Diseases OCEAN COUNTY – Tick-borne diseases are not spread between two people, but rather rely on ticks for transmission. All ticks have the potential to carry disease. Each life stage of tick has only one blood meal so they can molt and for reproduction. They do not drop off and bite again. They stay attached and feed until they are full. An engorged tick looks like a little balloon filled with blood. Larvae, nymphs and female adults can engorge. While male adult ticks feed, they can’t engorge and therefore are usually not attached long enough for transmission. One exception is the male American Dog tick and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) Most tick-borne diseases are carried in the tick’s digestive system and are transmitted by nymph and adult ticks inserting their mouthparts and feeding on a host. The minimum amount of feeding time for disease transmission varies depending on the disease: RMSF- 10-20 hrs.; Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis and Ehrlichiosis- 24 hrs.; Lyme Disease- 36-48 hrs. Transmission times for tularemia, and tick paralysis are unknown. Ticks we have here in NJ and the diseases they could carry. At this time, STARI and heartland Virus are not a problem here in NJ. Symptoms of tick-borne diseases are somewhat similar and though not always present, may include skin rash, general
tiredness, fever and/or chills, headache, stiff neck, muscle aches, joint pain, dizziness. It is important to watch for symptoms and talk to your health-care provider. Early treatment can be very effective. In 2016 within Ocean County, the NJ Health Department reported 274 cases of Lyme disease, 25 cases of Babesiosis, 11 cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and 17 cases of Ehrlichiosis. POW is not a common disease for us in Ocean County. For more detailed information on potential tick-borne diseases and safety, please consult the following web sites: Rutgers Fact Sheet: njaes.rutgers.edu/tick/ New Jersey Department of Health Communicable Disease Service: nj.gov/health/cd Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) : cdc.gov/ticks/diseases You may have heard about people who can no longer eat red meat. This is not a disease, but an allergic reaction to an alpha-gal protein found in the saliva of a lone star tick and is in red meat (some medications may contain alpha-gal). Some people develop anti-bodies to this alpha-gal protein, which in turn can cause an allergic reaction (hives, trouble breathing, etc.) 3-6 hours after eating red meat. Does that mean you can never eat meat again? Not necessarily, but as some reactions can be severe, consult a medical professional if you have questions.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Handling Menopause And Andropause As A Couple By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
As we age, we notice symptoms creeping up every few months. With women, it’s called menopause and includes many symptoms such as fatigue, forgetfulness, hot flashes, vaginal discomfort or atrophy, decreased libido, irritability and insomnia. Menopause can be surgically induced, as occurs when you get a total hysterectomy. With men, it’s termed andropause and the symptoms include reduced fatigue, sex drive, weak erections, depression, loss of strength and muscle mass, weight gain as well as occasional night sweats akin to a woman’s hot flash. You might find that you’re less competitive than normal. In the news recently, there have been some interesting findings reported from brand new studies. The first that comes to mind is about post-menopausal women and how they have an elevated risk for heart failure or coronary heart disease, if they have have higher testosterone levels compared to estradiol (an estrogen hormone). What about your brain and mood? For sure, psychological symptoms are one of the first (and worst) things noticed by men and women during menopause and andropause. You might think you’re going crazy, and so might those around you. It differs for everyone, and new research suggests that if you’ve been struggling with mental health issues prior to menopause/andropause, they are bound to get worse. In particular, symptoms such as panic attacks and suicidal ideation seem to heighten, and it’s much harder to deal with
than typical annoyances such as depression, irritability, mood swings, insomnia and memory loss. The CDC found that the rate of women committing suicide has been on the rise since the year 2000, it’s up by 50 percent and the average age is between 45 and 64. I have to wonder how many of these people were brought to the brink from the use of mind-bending anxiolytics or antidepressants that are thought to impair otherwise good judgement and possibly raise risk of suicide. It brings to mind fashionista Kate Spade and TV chef Anthony Bourdain, both of whom were taking anti-anxiety medications. They impact your brain and sometimes in a good way, but also in a bad way due to unexpected side effects. Today, I’d like to offer a few tips that could help you, as a couple, age more comfortably together, and minimize the problems that drive people to doctors, or worse, to psychiatrists who numb you with addictive medications. Here are eight ideas to get your hormones balanced: 1. Manage stressful situations 2. Avoid estrogenic chemicals 3. Maintain a healthy sex life 4. Watch what you eat 5. Exercise 6. Actually, sleep at night 7. Get enough rest 8. Aswhagandha If you’d like to read the extended, more comprehensive version of my article, please sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Rights And Restrictions For An Executor To Use Estate Assets To Pay Council Fees
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Robert Shea, III, Esq., of R.C. Shea and Associates The death of a loved one is a tragic event. Unfortunately, following in the wake of a loved ones passing, disputes often arise as to the decedents Last Will and Testament. If such a contest arises, understanding how legal fees could impact Estate assets is critical to know. Once an Executor of an Estate is appointed, and parties to the Will challenge its contents, the Executor of an Estate may use Estate assets to defend any challenges. So long as the challenge to the Will is a challenge to its validity, interpretation, distribution, or specific clauses, then an Executor may hire an attorney to defend the Estate. Any counsel fees incurred in defending against such challenges to the Will, its contents, clauses, or distribution, would not be the personal responsibility of the Executor. Instead, under such circumstances, these fees are payable to the Estate. However, when an Executor begins defending claims against non-probate assets, the circumstances change, and certain limitations apply. Probate assets are any assets that are owned solely by the decedent, and are distributed to heirs by the court. Probate assets can include the following: real property that is titled solely in the decedent’s name or held as a tenant in common; Personal property, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles; bank accounts that are solely in the decedent’s name; an interest in a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company; any life insurance policy or brokerage account that lists either the decedent or the estate as the beneficiary. A non-probate asset is as an asset which
does not “pass” through the Decedent’s Estate, and bypasses the court process by transferring directly to the beneficiaries. Non-probate assets can include the following: property that is held in joint tenancy or as tenants by the entirety; bank or brokerage accounts held in joint tenancy or with payable on death (POD) or transfer on death (TOD) beneficiaries; property held in a trust; life insurance or brokerage accounts that list someone other than the decedent as the beneficiary; retirement accounts. If a party to a Will challenges the transfer of a non-probate asset, an Executor may be forbidden from utilizing Estate assets to defend against such a claim. When a transfer of non-probate assets benefits the Executor of the Estate to the exclusion of other beneficiaries, then the Executor will not be allowed to use the Estates assets to pay legal fees in defense of such a dispute. Should an Executor use the assets of the Estate to make such payments, then these assets may be payable back to the Estate by the Executor. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Estate Planning, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate Law, Medicaid Law, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning Law, Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney and much more.

50-Year-Old Wedding Cake Symbolizes Lasting Marriage
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Their love story started at a north Jersey church youth group more than 50 years ago. They’ll celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary June 22, with a party with friends and family in their Manchester home the next day. Something they’ve kept from their wedding day will make one fi nal appearance at their party, before getting tossed in the trash: The top tier of their wedding cake. Marty and Diana Von Boerum don’t remember the flavor. And no, no one will be trying a piece that predates the moon landing. “I don’t like cake so I didn’t really eat it, so I don’t know what was in it,” Diana said. But the cake has moved around almost as much as the Van Boerum family (it made a trip in dry ice to Kentucky), and it’s come to symbolize, for Diana, marriage itself. “Over the years the cake got moldy and pieces of icing had chunked off on the top, and it’s kind of like marriage, you have your bumps but you get over them,” Diana said. “God is the center of our marriage that holds us together.” “God has always been the center of our marriage, that’s where we are with that, that comes fi rst,” Marty added. The Knot reports that back in the 19th century, couples would save the top tier of their wedding cakes to serve at the christening of their fi rst child. With couples delaying having children (if they have them at all) by the mid-20th century, the tradition shifted to eating the cake on a couple’s fi rst anniversary. That’s what Mar ty and Diana had originally planned, but they didn’t delay
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – The county is adding 23 more acres to its open space collection. The Board of Chosen Freeholders approved the acquisition of 22.9 acres on Anderson Road in Jackson. “It adjoins a 210-acre township-of-Jacksonowned Francis Mills Park. This will adjoin their park site,” Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr. said. “It will keep this land from being developed.”
having children. “Our oldest boy was born six days before our fi rst anniversary,” Marty said. “So, [Diana] was in the hospital.” “We didn’t have our cake. Our son stole the show, which he should,” Diana added. Their marriage almost didn’t happen. Although they had been attending the same church for years, First Reformed Church of Patterson, they only really noticed each other as older teens. It was Diana who took notice of Marty. They were supposed to go out on a date, but Diana had just moved and gave Marty the wrong number. “I couldn’t wait to go out with him, but he really didn’t want to go out with me. His friend wanted to go out with my friend, but she didn’t really want to go out with him. She did it for me, and Marty did it for his friend,” Diana explained. “So, our double date never happened because I gave him the wrong telephone number.” When Diana saw him in church the next time, she coolly walked by him. Marty grabbed her arm to explain that he did call, and showed her the phone number she gave him. But he didn’t ask her out again for six months. They started dating, going steady. But then he got drafted into the Army. And asked for his ring back. “I was devastated,” Diana said. “This is the guy I love, and he loves me, and he asks for the ring back.” “It was Vietnam and I got drafted and I didn’t know what was going on or where I was going to be. I just felt, maybe I should ask for it back and let it go and see what happens,” Marty said. “I had mixed feelings about [taking back the ring]. I wasn’t
happy about it. I wasn’t happy about the whole thing! I got drafted out of college and going in the Army and wasn’t happy at all.” But Marty never stepped foot on enemy soil. He went to Fort Dix, then Fort Bragg for military police training, and stayed there for his two-year stint. While he didn’t encounter Viet Cong, he was on riot control, during a time of numerous anti-war demonstrations. Diana had written a letter to Marty the night he took his ring back, but never sent it. Instead, she penned him weekly letters, talking about the comings and goings of shared friends back in North Haledon. Marty did write to let her know he would be on furlough, but he never called her. He wrote again before his next furlough, but at that point, Diana was dating other men. While on a date up in West Point, Diana learned that Marty did indeed call. In December 1967, they went out again. They were engaged by February, and Marty was out of the military May 22, 1968. They got married in Wayne, New Jersey, a month later. So they weren’t thinking about cake that fi rst anniversary, with the arrival of their son Scott. (They have another son, Richard.) Marty’s job took across the country and down south. The cake went with them. They decided at their 25th anniversary they’d save the cake for their 50th. The couple saved part of their 25th anniversary cake too, which joined their original wedding cake in the freezer. The wedding cake stayed together, as long as it was frozen. Thawed, it fell apart. A friend from the Van Boerum’s church here,
23 Acres Preserved In Jackson
The site was nominated to the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund Advisory Committee, which then made the recommendation for purchase to the freeholders. The county will go ahead with the purchase only if Jackson Township agrees to that acquisition. The county will purchase the land for $450,000 plus up to $1,066.00 for property tax adjustments. The county gets two appraisals from two independent assessors
to value the properties, and never offers to pay more than that highest appraised value, Bartlett added. Freeholder Director Gerry Little said in May that in a county that’s 408,000 acres, about 60 percent of it is permanently protected against development through Pinelands regulations, state parks and 21,000 acres preserved through the natural lands and farmlands programs. “Approximately 60 percent of the county is
Whiting Bible Church, used her skill and a concoction of confectionary sugar and shortening, as well as some of the 25th anniversary cake, to resuscitate the wedding cake, a white-frosted, mystery-flavored cake that’s back in the freezer. They both emphatically said “no” when asked if they’d considered saving the cake for their 75th anniversary. “It’s over-lived its life in my freezer,” Diana said.

permanently preserved, which is protecting our watershed, which is protecting our quality of life,” Little said. “We will never become an urban area. That’s our goal, to preserve our quality of life for all of us here today, and for our children and generations to come.” All 33 county municipalities approved the creation of the Natural Lands Trust Fund back in the late 1980s. A cent-and-a-half is taken from every $100 property valuation and put into the trust fund.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUNE 30 - JUly 6
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): You may yearn for someone’s kindhearted ministrations as you endure frustrations in the week ahead. Menial tasks and repetitive chores may prevent you from enjoying fun with your friends and loved ones. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A lack of restraint when it comes to spending money or making promises can place you in the doghouse. In the week ahead, you may find that people are more critical and exacting, so it is necessary to be discreet. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might not be able to trust everything you hear in the week ahead. Your partner may sugarcoat a problem or co-workers could promise more than they can deliver. It may be up to you to offer up some tough love. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may be torn two ways as this week unfolds. One part of you wants to spoil the kids or lavish money on hobbies, but your other side wants to save up money for a rainy day. It is better to be safe than sorry. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sometimes being selfish and self-centered about how you delegate your time is in your best interest. In the week ahead people may consider you a killjoy because you are focused on achievement rather than merriment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be great at business decisions, but personal extravagances can cancel out your gains. As this week unfolds you will find it is better for your bottom line to focus on making money rather than spending money.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Sugar and spice and everything nice just won’t cut the mustard. Your casual assurances may be held up to scrutiny in the week ahead. You may go overboard with spending or be attracted to something ostentatious. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Put your latest greatest plans on hold. You may have the best intentions and the shrewdest ideas but whatever you begin in the upcoming week might run into unexpected obstacles. Avoid making casual promises. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your naturally generous nature may be limited to spending time rather than money on others. You may be happy to socialize and offer referrals but24 being thrifty with money may be a prime consideration this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Adversity doesn’t just test character, it reveals it. In the week ahead, you will need all the grit and determination you can muster to deal with a busy schedule. Use your street smarts to navigate tricky situations. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Loved ones could make demands and expect you to obey commands. In the week ahead, you might find that someone’s heavy work load requires you to offer unquestioning support. Your loyalty will be rewarded. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Work hard to reach your goals in the upcoming week. Don’t be discouraged by minor setbacks. Frivolous pastimes may lighten up the office environment, but the boss may express disapproval if time is wasted.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Summer Breeze: This Recipe Is As Easy And Flexible As A Summer Day By Wolfgang Puck The summer solstice, on June 21, 2018, marks the sun’s annual arrival at its highest point in the sky and is the beginning of the most leisurely days of the year for most people. Most children are off from school, and many families plan vacations. We enjoy days by the pool or at the beach and take meals outdoors with picnics or cookouts. Those seasonal meals, of course, can directly impact our summertime fun in and around the water. Indulge too much, and you won’t feel as comfortable in your swimsuit. With that in mind, many people - me included - look for grilling recipes that are not only delicious but also light and healthy. Skinless, boneless chicken pieces often come to mind, since much of the fat in chicken comes from the skin and boneless meat is simply quicker and more convenient to cook and eat outdoors. Eliminating the skin and bones from chicken, however, also eliminates the two main elements that help keep chicken juicy, especially when cooked by the intense direct heat of a grill. In my own continuing attempts to eat lighter, leaner food, I’ve found some good ways to keep grilled chicken moist and flavorful. One of my favorite tricks is to marinate chicken in a spicy mixture based on nonfat yogurt, a variation on the whole-milk yogurt marinades used in India’s tandoori cooking. Combining the yogurt with garlic, ginger, scallions, toasted spices, red pepper flakes and a mellow-sweet touch of honey gives the meat a wonderfully aromatic flavor; and the moisture the chicken absorbs from the yogurt keeps it from drying out. (Take care, though, not to marinate the chicken too long, or the lactic acid in the yogurt may turn the meat mushy.) To add even more flavor to every bite, I serve the chicken with my own version of freshly made chutney (one of the many different sweet-andspicy condiments that go by that name in Indian cooking). This one consists of fresh mango combined with brown sugar, vinegar, fresh ginger, fresh chile pepper, onion and garlic in a complex yet harmonious blend. It all adds up to one of my favorite ways to deliver big flavors that satisfy while helping to keep you healthy. Better still, the recipe is wonderfully versatile. You can substitute turkey or lean pork for the chicken, and swap in fresh pineapple or summer stone fruit like peaches, nectarines, apricots or plums for the mango. I also enjoy making a main-dish salad by sliding the cooked meat off the skewers onto beds of mixed greens or baby spinach leaves, then drizzling a dressing made by combining the chutney with some plain nonfat yogurt. TANDOORI-STYLE CHICKEN KEBABS WITH FRESH MANGO-GINGER CHUTNEY Serves 4 For the mango-ginger chutney: 3/4 teaspoon peanut oil 1/2 medium red onion, diced 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 jalapeno chile, finely chopped 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 1 strip lemon zest, 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide by 3
inches (7.5 cm) long 3/4 teaspoon dark brown sugar 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar 1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) dice Grated zest of 1/2 orange Juice of 1/2 orange For the chicken kebabs: 1 1/2 pounds (750 g) boneless skinless chicken pieces, white or dark meat or a combination 3/4 teaspoon whole cumin seeds 3/4 teaspoon whole coriander seeds 1 cup (250 mL) nonfat plain yogurt 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon finely chopped scallion 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 cup (60 mL) coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves For the mango-ginger chutney, heat the peanut oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion, and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, jalapeno, ginger, lemon zest and brown sugar. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar has melted completely and begins to turn syrupy, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Carefully stir in the vinegar; cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes longer. Stir in the mango, orange zest and juice; cook, stirring frequently, until thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the chutney to a stainless-steel or glass bowl, and leave it at room temperature until cooled. Transfer the cooled chutney to a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, and pulse until coarsely pureed. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. For the chicken kebabs, place 8 bamboo or wooden skewers in a shallow dish; add cold water to cover, and leave to soak for about 1 hour; then drain well. (Alternatively, use metal skewers, skipping the soaking.) Cut the chicken into 1-inch (2.5-cm) chunks, and thread them on the skewers. Arrange the skewers in a shallow, nonreactive dish. In a small dry skillet, toast the cumin and coriander seeds over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, just until fragrant and slightly darkened, 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately transfer to a heatproof dish to cool. Put the cooled toasted seeds in a blender with the yogurt, honey, scallion, ginger, garlic, black pepper, salt and red pepper flakes. Blend thoroughly. Add the cilantro leaves, and process until pureed and thoroughly blended. Pour this marinade over the skewers, turning them to coat the chicken evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate no longer than 2 hours. To cook the kebabs, preheat a grill. Remove the kebabs from the marinade, shaking off excess; discard the marinade. Season the kebabs to taste with salt. Grill until the chicken is golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes total. Serve the kebabs on a platter or individual plates, passing the chutney alongside at the table. Reserve any extra chutney for another use.
