accompanied by family, was sworn in by Sheriff Shaun Golden of the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Department. “It is one of the greatest honors I have as chief to start, advance, and continue an officer’s career,” said Chief Kudrick during the meeting. Officer promotions include Peter Hochhauser who was
promoted from Patrolman to Sergeant and Michael Maccia, promoted from Patrolman to Detective. Ryan Norton was sworn in, recently hired as a full-time officer. Two other men and one woman were also sworn in as patrol officers. Golden swore in three Class III officers together. These Class III officers are all
retired police officers who will patrol Howell schools to maintain student safety. “As a longtime Howell resident, I am honored and humbled to be able to swear in the Howell officers,” said Golden. “By far, the township of Howell is the best police department in our county and probably one of the best in the state of New Jersey.”
Preservation Task Force Gets New Members
By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – Howell’s Preservation Task Force was appointed four new members by the Township Council at a recent meeting. The members are: • Wendall Nanson: Term Expires Dec. 31, 2022

reside within the township,” stated the group description. The task force is typically made up of five members, each with a five-year term as well as four alternate members with two-year terms. Two of the members shall also serve as liaisons to the Monmouth

Continued From Page 1 township auction for the property on June 20. The township’s minimum bid price was $1,355,000. Roberts also owns the land adjacent to this property. As part of the agreement between the township and Destiny’s Bridge, the group had 30 days to vacate the property following its sale, which required the residents to be gone by July 20. “There was no date from the governing body…part of the agreement was based on notice of sale, they [the residents] had 30 days,” said Deputy Mayor Robert Nicastro. “We [the council] knew that was something that was put in there, we never went to them and told them that [they needed to be out].” On July 17, township officials allowed the homeless community an extension on that deadline, but did not provide an exact date for when they need to be out. According to Nicastro, the community needs to start preparing. “This has been transparent,” he said, noting the residents always knew they would need to vacate at some point. However, as things seem to be moving along quickly, Destiny’s Bridge harbors concerns for what awaits them after they no longer have residence on the property. “We were really under the gun…there’s just no way we could’ve got anything together,” by July 20, said Minister Steve

Part of the township’s agreement was their deadline makes matters difficult, especially when it comes to transporting that any new property owner would be belongings, finding work, and finding responsible for relocating the homeless group, although the township did not shelter. One family, a mother and two children, clearly defi ne “relocating.” Roberts’ plan who made up 3 of the 12 residents actually was originally to provide each of the 12 residents with $1,000 upon vacating the moved out of the camp on July 18. “They’ve been working for about 8 land, said Brigham. “Since we declined the new buyer’s offer months…she saved a little nest egg and she was able to get into a little place,” of $1,000 a piece, we felt we should try to compensate,” anyone who was making said Brigham. This is the goal; however, this is not the moves to leave, he added.
jerseyshoreonline.com Brigham previously stated that $1,000 compensation wouldn’t even afford the residents two weeks in a hotel. While the deadline still looms in the near future, Brigham explained that they continue to make preparations for what’s next. “I was thinking of renting a trailer,” for transporting belongings from the camp. A storage unit in Englishtown will be allowing the residents use of space and a tractor trailer for transportation, said Brigham. Brigham himself owns a pickup truck and plans on trying to rent a U-Haul truck. Only four of the residents have vehicles, the rest use public transport. The camp consists of 10 to 12 individual tents where residents sleep, eat, and spend time together. Some tents are littered with belongings, creating makeshift rooms for the residents. Others house chairs and tables, food, or tools. One tent is even shelved, holding all of their canned goods and acting as the community food pantry. Although there are only 12 residents, there are still a good amount of items that need to be moved along with the people. When it comes to future residency, Brigham said that they haven’t found anything promising yet. After moving into Howell from a tent city in Lakewood, and in Toms River prior to that, Brigham has covered a lot of ground. “Now a lot of the townships see me coming…It’s getting harder and harder,” he said.

Sheriff Shaun Golden handed out certificates on graduation day. The Sheriff Youth Week Program provides high school aged students with an opportunity to explore interests in law enforcement through police academy-style training, exercise activities and instructional sessions. “I’m so proud of the entire Sheriff Youth Week class for staying the course and commend them for completing this i ntensive week of law enforcement training,” said Sheriff Golden. “The program provides the graduates with an oppor tunity to explore the realm of possibilities of a career in public safety.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials From The Desk Of The
Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone Hello! I hope everyone is continuing to enjoy the summertime sunshine and warm weather! I would like to take the time to provide an update on the County’s Grown in Monmouth program. As liaison to the County’s Division of Economic Development, I could not be more proud of the success of this program.
For those who have not heard about this initiative, Grown in Monmouth focuses on the retention and expansion of our county’s agricultural industry through the promotion of Monmouth-grown agricultural products and services. We know how important this industry is in Monmouth County and this program helps business owners
Capitol Comments Senator Robert Menendez
ENGLEWOOD - U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-9th), the prime sponsors of landmark legislation to protect firefighters from cancer risks, recently joined dozens of firefighters from across New Jersey to celebrate final passage of their Firefighter Cancer Registry Act. The bill creates a national cancer registry for firefighters diagnosed with the deadly disease and calls on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to monitor and study the relationship between career-long exposure to dangerous fumes and toxins and the incidence of cancer in firefighters to determine if there is a link, and to develop better protective gear and prevention techniques. “This is a huge win for our firefighters, who risk so much every time they answer the bell. Taking care of those who risk their lives and health to protect us is the least we can do,” said Sen. Menendez. “Firefighters not only encounter smoke and flames when they run into burning buildings, but also dangerous fumes, toxins, and known carcinogens released during a fire that pose additional
health risks. The ultimate goal of the Firefighter Cancer Registry is to prevent cancer in firefighters by developing better ways of protecting them through study and greater understanding of their cancer risks.” “Today is a big day. I can’t think of many priorities more important than protecting the health of America’s firefighters. The Firefighter Cancer Registry will bring together information on firefighters’ history to help doctors and researchers find any connections between firefighters’ work and increased risk for cancer,” said Rep. Pascrell, co-chair of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus. “This will strengthen the safety of the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every single day. This legislation has long enjoyed bipartisan support because having the backs of those protecting our families is a cause we all support. I want to thank Representatives Chris Collins and Frank Pallone, and Senators Menendez and Lisa Murkowski for all their efforts to get this bill through Congress. After the legislation is signed, I look forward to working with the CDC and

showcase their products. Most notably, residents and visitors may notice Grown in Monmouth banners or signs while traveling throughout Monmouth County. Businesses and establishments that display these signs have entered into a partnership, at no cost, with the county that states they either grow or make products with ingredients grown in Monmouth County. Our partnerships include farms, wineries and restaurants, among other establishments. To promote this initiative, the county developed a website
where farmers can register their farm and list the inventory of products they offer for sale. The website also allows consumers to use a searchable online directory to locate agricultural products, services and activities in Monmouth County. Consumers can also use the website directory to find pick-your-own farms, wineries and breweries, restaurants and farmers markets, among many other options. The website can be viewed by visiting GrownInMonmouth.com. Farmers are not the only ones who are benefiting from this program. Currently, we
have 20 restaurants registered that use ingredients grown in Monmouth County. These restaurants can be viewed on the website. So next time you go to a restaurant, look out for a Grown in Monmouth sign or ask them if they participate in this free program. If you are a grower or restaurant and want to participate in the Grown in Monmouth program, please contact our division of economic development by calling 732-431-7470 or emailing econdev@co.monmouth.nj.us. Grown in Monmouth will have
a booth at this year’s County Fair, which runs from July 25 to July 29 at the East Freehold Showgrounds. Be sure to check out this annual event that is always a fun time for the family! Lastly, I would like to thank the County’s Master Gardeners for recently hosting their Community Garden Tour. I attended the kickoff alongside Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian Burry and was quite impressed. As always, it’s a privilege to serve as Freeholder Director. I look forward to continuing to serve.
Studying High Numbers Of Cancer In Firefighters members of the firefighting community to see that the new registry is implemented to its fullest use.” A 2015 study by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found that firefighters had a greater number of cancer diagnoses and cancer-related deaths for certain types of cancer when compared to the general U.S. population, specifically digestive, oral, respiratory and urinary cancers, and malignant mesothelioma. The study confirmed that firefighters have an increased risk of cancer because of occupational exposure. To bolster the efforts led by researchers at NIOSH, the firefighter cancer registry will improve collection capabilities and activities related to the nationwide monitoring of cancer incidence among all firefighters – both career and volunteer. Specifically, the Firefighter Cancer Registry Act will authorize $2.5 million in federal funds to the CDC from FY2018 to FY2022. Additionally, the legislation will: Develop a firefighter registry of available cancer incidence data collected by existing State Cancer Registries and a strategy to maximize participation; Create a registry that will contain relevant history, such as other occupational information, years of service,
number of fire incidents responded to, and additional risk factors; • Make de-identified data available to public health researchers to provide them with robust and comprehensive datasets to expand groundbreaking research; and • Improve our understanding of cancer incidences by requiring administrators to consult regularly with public health experts, clinicians, and firefighters. Among those who joined the senator and congressman at Englewood Fire Department Headquarters were: Bergen County Executive James Tedesco, a longtime volunteer firefighter; Englewood Fire Chief Erik Enersen; James Slevin of the International Assoc. of Firefighters (IAFF); Dominick Marino of the Professional Firefighters Assoc. of N.J., IAFF; Wayne Wolk of the N.J. State Firefighters’ Mutual Benevolent Assoc.; and George Heflich of the National Volunteer Fire Council. The legislation has support from several major fire organizations, including the National Volunteer Fire Council, the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), the Congressional Fire Services Institute, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, New
Jersey Firefighters’ Mutual Benevolent Association (FMBA) and the International Fire Services Training Association. “On behalf of all our brothers and sisters in the fire service, I want to thank Senator Menendez and Congressman Pascrell for standing strong with us from the very beginning in our fight for the fire fighter cancer registry,” said Harold Schaitberger, general president of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). “They know what we know, that cancer is a scourge of our industry and the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths. The cancer registry will give us the data we need to fight cancer head on and save fire fighter lives.” Sen. Menendez and Rep. Pascrell first announced introduction of the Firefighter Cancer Registry Act in May 2016 during a news conference in Clifton, at Fire Station 5, where they were joined by dozens of firefighters, including retired Haddon Heights Fire Chief Gene Dannenfelster, who since lost his battle with cancer. The bipartisan legislation was originally cosponsored by Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) in the House. The bill, which was unanimously approved by the Senate this May, was reintro-
duced in February 2017, with 49 bipartisan Senate cosponsors: Murkowski, Klobuchar, Rubio, Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Tom Carper (D-Del.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Angus King (I-Maine), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Claire McCaskill (DMo.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Jack Reed (D -R.I.), Ber nie Sanders (I-Vt.), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Tina Smith (D-Minn.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), and Todd Young (R-Ind.).

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Link Between Domestic Violence And Gun Violence 180 Turning Lives Around is mourning the loss of life in the recent mass shooting. It is without hesitation that I am compelled to share with you two simple facts: When abusers have guns, people are at a high risk of homicide. Mass shooters often have a history of domestic violence - in fact nearly 60 percent of recent incidents. The threads of domestic violence in the lives of these perpetrators are important to note: Santa Fe High School, Texas - where eight students and two teachers were killed, and where according to the mother of one of the victims, her daughter had rejected the killer’s advances for months. Orlando Nightclub - where 49 were killed and 53 injured, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, the perpetrator cruelly abused his former wife, isolating her from friends and family. Parkland, Florida - before the mass shooter killed 17 students and teachers, he was abusive to his girlfriend, stalked her, abused animals, owned guns and was expelled from high school for fighting with his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend. Planned Parenthood, Colorado Springs - where three individuals were shot to death, the killer beat and raped his wife and had been previously arrested. Boston Marathon - before
planting the bombs that killed three people and injured more than 260, the killer was arrested for beating his girlfriend. Kansas - an hour and a half after receiving a restraining order stemming from a domestic violence complaint filed by his ex-girlfriend the murderer equipped with assault rifle and pistol killed three and injured 14. And the list goes on. The statistics regarding domestic violence and gun access are staggering. When an abusive partner has access to firearms, statistics show that domestic violence is more likely to turn deadly. According to research published in the American Journal of Public Health, the presence of a gun in domestic violence situations increases the risk of homicide for women by 500 percent. More than half of women murdered with guns are killed by family members or intimate partners. Our commitment to empowering survivors of domestic violence to turn their life around is paramount. However, in light of the link we see between mass shooters and domestic violence, we also remain steadfast to advocating for laws that prohibit domestic abusers access to guns and we implore the community to immediately hold abusers accountable for their behavior. Anna Diaz-White Executive Director 180 Turning Lives Around, Inc.

Also Disappointed With The Path This Great Country Has Taken I just wanted to let Myrna Arnold of Whiting (letter in your July 14 issue “Remembering Different Good Old Days”) that I agree with all she wrote! For the first few paragraphs, I felt she was reading my mind /thoughts. Then, since she said she was 72, and I ‘m the same age, I realized we are from the same generation, and obviously, we just might think alike. I was always proud to be an American, and still am, even though it is hard and at times embarrassing in today’s world! Thanks, Myrna, there are lots of us who think as you do and can relate to your feelings. Judy Ricca Howell
Those Good Old Days Never Happened It was clever of Myrna Arnold to start off her letter (“Remembering Different Good Old Days”) in your July 14 edition with her remembrances of pleasant American memories that many of us share before switching into her anti-Trump screed. But when you combine her simply incorrect statements (example: “I remember when a president of the United States was elected by a majority of the people, instead of the electoral college.” No, you don’t, because no American president has ever been elected based purely on the popular vote.) with the clinically hysterical (example: “I remember when infants were not ripped from their mothers’ arms...” But seemingly you don’t remember the millions who’ve been
Letters To early The Editor ripped from their mothers’ deaths. The problem of have come before the NJTA wombs, never mind their arms.) and add to them silly politicized moans (among other examples: “I remember when a Supreme Court nominee was allowed a hearing, even when he was not a right-wing republican.” I remember that too, and here’s what it got us: libleft ideologues like Ginsburg and Breyer, willing to ignore the Constitution to stick the country with their perverse schemes.) and top it off with the strictly maudlin (example: “I remember when I was proud to be an American and proud to wear the uniform of the U.S. Army….”) Well, I remember when I was proud be an American and proud to wear the uniform of the United States Marine Corps, but I’m beginning to wonder how long national pride can be maintained in a country under administrations (unlike the current one) that won’t defend the borders from alien invaders and are willing to burden their own citizens with the cost of harboring those invaders. And maybe everybody is wondering how long it will be before the countries those invaders come from will be forced by their own peoples to become worth staying in. Neal Pronek Farmingdale
Parkway Wall Would Protect Neighbors A 14-foot noise, pollution and safety wall is needed where the Garden State Parkway enters Brick near Evergreen Woods and continues southbound through the town and on the northbound side past Brick High School and town hall and up to Primrose Gardens and the reservoir. This will not stop all the toxins from f lowing into everyone’s lungs from vehicles on the Garden State Parkway but it would at least assist in the prevention of autism, asthma, COPD and
the environmental destruction that causes lung and heart ailments among many of our residents has not gone away. It will not go away on its own and each passing day puts our citizens further at risk. Each and every one of our citizens faces the toxins forced upon them by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority Commissioners and their powerful profiteering cohorts. The citizens are being harmed each day and no politician will stand up to the Commissioners who were appointed to their highly powerful positions because of their support of the political class in all of New Jersey. Republican nor Democrat will not stand with the working class people because the regular everyday citizen does not have the power to control the state’s leaders. The bureaucracy runs amuck in New Jersey’s government so politicians will not speak out and stand up for the citizens in any kind of defense from the bureaucrats and ruling class that run every aspect of the government. More and more money is taken from the middle class citizen to support programs and agencies controlled by the profiteering bureaucrats. Small and large businesses and everyday citizens are faced with financial doom if they stay in New Jersey, so many move out and leave the state to the bureaucrats that inf luence every part of the residents’ lives. Just about every politician is afraid to speak up for the people because the rich and powerful bureaucrats will not financially support them in future political endeavors. The Turnpike Authority, which controls the Garden State Parkway, ignores the pleas of the people for a fair and just settlement in the matter concerning the health and well-being of the residents. So many people are noticeably impacted by the destruction of the Garden State Parkway and although various people
Commissioners with their concerns, nothing is done except to dismiss the citizens. The commissioners don’t care about the people and only care about what kind of payoff they can get for themselves, their cohorts and the politicians they control. Elected officials do not speak up against the abuse of power of various institutions like the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and let the bureaucrats do unto their citizens whatever they please. It seems hard to understand why the political class does not stand with their citizens unless they are so beholding to the bureaucrats in the state that they fear losing financial and political support. Local officials will not sue the bureaucracy or even try to coerce the state and county officials into helping the citizens lead normal healthy lives. The bureaucracies are powerful and therefore local elected officials and even news agencies seem to be afraid to publicly address the problem despite over whelming evidence published in national and international publications. As mentioned previously a combination of additional shrubbery and forestation as well as a 14-foot pollution, noise and safety wall to curtail some of the damage brought about by the illegal actions of the Commissioners of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority is necessary in Evergreen Woods and other areas of Brick Township. Someday, maybe in the near future, one or more politicians will stand up for the citizens and fight the government bureaucracy, stand up for the residents and take the fight for the lives of their people before the courts but for now the citizens will just have to suffer the health impacts of the toxins from the Garden State Parkway. Thank you. John Sluka Brick, NJ

Plant a Row Garden Donating Produce To Local Food Pantries
–Photos courtesy Monmouth County Government Representatives from Monmouth County’s Master Gardener program and the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Monmouth County give Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone and Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry a tour of Monmouth County’s Plant a Row for the Hungry Garden. By Kimberly Bosco FREEHOLD – Monmouth County food pantries have been receiving an extra source of sustenance with the growth of the Monmouth County Plant a Row for the Hungry Garden. Created in 2006 by the Master Gardeners of Monmouth County and the Rutgers Cooperative Extension, the garden has donated 29,000 pounds of fresh produce to local food pantries over the years. The creation of the garden was a response to a national initiative by the Association for Garden Communicators, which encouraged all gardeners to dedicate a row of their garden to produce for local food banks and food pantries, according to Monmouth County officials. “Monmouth County’s Plant a Row Garden is completely devoted to producing produce for local food pantries and educating the public on the needs of our community,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone. “It has been amazing to see how much the garden has grown since it was started. Originally the garden yielded a little more than 1,000 pounds of produce each year. Now, it is providing 3,000 pounds of produce.” The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders recently took a tour of the garden, where they got a chance to see the produce,
growing in the 2,000-square-foot garden. The garden grows various goods including cucumbers, squashes, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, as well as snow peas, radishes, kale and others in the cold weather seasons. They also toured the Junior Master Gardener garden, which is used to teach children in Monmouth County how to garden. Kids in the program can grow their own produce in their designated plot and bring it home to their families if they want. “This garden is a great resource for our community and the garden truly embodies the spirit of our Grown in Monmouth program,” said Freeholder Deputy Director Lillian G. Burry. “The produce from the garden is grown by Monmouth County residents enrolled in our County’s Master Gardener program and distributed to local food pantries. The Food pantries do not usually receive donations of fresh produce so they rely heavily on what they receive from the Plant a Row garden.” You can find this special garden at the Agriculture Building, 4000 Kozloski Road in Freehold. The County’s Master Gardener program helps to maintain the garden. For more information on Monmouth County’s Master Garden program, visit visitmonmouth. com or call 732-431-7260.

Howell Resident Cycles For Cancer Research
By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – A Howell resident will be taking on a 192-mile challenge to raise money for cancer research in this year’s Pan-Mass Challenge. Jonathan Winder of Howell plans to travel to Massachusetts in order to take part in the PanMass Challenge (PMC) on August 4 and 5, where he will cycle 192 miles with thousands of other cyclists from all across the country. The PMC is a bike-a-thon that raises money for adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The challenge, started in 1980, was raised $598 million for research; more than any other single athletic fundraising event in the world. Winder will be cycling with the goal of breaking last year’s record of $52 million raised. Participants in the challenge can be anywhere from 13 to 85, from all levels of skill. Many ride to honor a family member or friend lost
to, or being treated for cancer, and over 900 riders and volunteers are cancer survivors or current patients themselves. The PMC offers 12 different routes, varying in difficulty. Cyclists are also required to raise between $600 and $8,000. “After surpassing our goal and raising $51 million for Dana-Farber last year, we are excited to keep the momentum going as we approach our 39th PMC ride weekend,” said Billy Starr, founder and executive director of the PMC. “We are continuously humbled by the dedication and generosity of our riders, volunteers, donors, sponsors and community members – it’s thanks to them that the PMC is able to make such an immense impact on the fight against cancer. We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable ride weekend and can’t wait to see you all out on the road.” If you wish to contribute or learn more, visit pmc.org.

Lion’s Mane Helps Your Brain By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Lion’s mane mushroom, scientifically known as Hericium erinaceus, is a hairy-looking mushroom with a name that conjures up visions from the wild kingdom. It literally looks like a white Lion’s Mane! Lion’s Mane has some interesting beneficial effects on your body. It contains many active ingredients, among them beta-glucan and some antioxidants. You can take it in supplemental form, or you can cook with it, like you do Portobello’s! Lion’s mane helps your brain and keeps you sane. It can help to boost cognitive performance, improve mood, and protect neurons from damage. But how can a shroom protect your mind? It’s a valid question, one that scientists have wondered too. Studies prove that compounds in Lion’s Mane increase Nerve Growth Factor, or NGF. This is a critical protein in your nervous system. It plays a variety of roles actually, including the most important which is to grow new brain cells. Lion’s Mane increases NGF and since you can’t supplement directly with NGF, Lion’s Mane could be a consideration. It’s a nootrope, and nootropes support brain function, memory, focus and learning. This next part is fascinating. Lion’s Mane can suppress certain pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in neurolgical diseases. Given that excessive inflammation is believed to be involved in many different disease processes, including
some of the most common brain diseases (from depression to Alzheimer’s disease), this effect can help lion’s mane to protect the brain. It’s also been shown to increase levels of acetylcholine, your memory molecule. There was a great study that suggests that Lion’s Mane can help reduce symptoms of both anxiety and depression after just four weeks. Unlike traditional SSRIs and other anti-depressants or psychoactive drugs, there is no risk of addiction, tolerance withdrawal or receptor down-regulation. Side effects are minimal, unless you have allergies to the mushroom. In people with mild cognitive impairment (the precursor to full-blown dementia), taking Lion’s Mane significantly improved cognitive performance, with the positive benefits increasing over the duration of the 16-week trial. More research is needed, and being conducted. I’m not suggesting that we throw away important prescribed pills or disregard your physician’s orders over this body of research. But of course, it is enticing, and exciting to think a shroom could have this much power on brain-boosting chemicals. It certainly gets my attention. You can cook with it, or take it in supplemental forms. I have more information about this, a longer version of this article, as well as recipes. If you’d like all this, just sign up for my free newsletter which connects you to my online community. You can sign up at suzycohen.com and I’ll email it to you on Tuesday.

Inside The Law Why A Survey Is Essential For Successful Closing
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By Dina Vicari of R.C. Shea and Associates During the process of purchasing a home, many buyers are concerned with the bottom line and look for ways to cut costs. One of the first items they may choose to forego to save money is to opt out of ordering a survey. This article is intended to provide information which will assist the purchaser in making a well informed decision whether to obtain or forego a survey. Many purchasers are not aware of all the various important components that a survey can disclose. A survey is not just a simple drawing showing boundary lines and location of the dwelling, but it also delineates right of ways, easements, encroachments, and/ or gaps between property lines. The survey can also confirm the location of a water way, an existing improvement and determine whether all the structures on the property you are looking to purchase are within the property boundary lines such as sheds, pools, retaining walls and fences. Perhaps the most important pieces of information a survey will provide are the property’s zoning classification, dimension and size, which will allow you to determine if the property conforms to the local lot size requirements. Once the survey is obtained your attorney will forward it to the title company, who will also research the information contained therein. If the survey accurately shows that there are no property line encroachments then the title company will not require any exceptions in its policy, which will allow the title company to provide coverage and defend against anyone who, in the future, challenges the accuracy of the property lines. If you do not have an
accurate and current survey prior to closing then any disputes, Dina M. Vicari Esq. whether it is with the seller, a neighbor or a governmental agency, as to the location of a fence, shed, or any larger structure such as a pool, deck or an addition will become yours to resolve. These disputes can be costly and you possibly may be precluded from seeking recourse from the previous owner. The basic survey cost is around $650800 and of course the cost may be more if the property is very large or has irregular shape.

At the time of mailing, the grace period for payment of the 3rd quarter of 2018 will be extended to a date 25 days from the date of the mailing. This date will be noted on your tax bill.

NJ 4-H Teens Attend Citizenship Washington Focus Conference
NEW JERSEY – New Jersey 4-H Members learned about government processes in the vibrant, living classroom of the nation’s capital as part of Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF), an intensive 4-H civic engagement program for high-school youth held at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The New Jersey 4-H delegation of 25 youth and three adult chaperones attended Week 6 of the conference from July 8-14. The delegates attending this year’s conference were: • Burlington County: Brenna Beebe • Camden County: Savannah Brannan, Emily Perex, and Sara Weist • Essex County: Hunter Halliwell and Sophie Moutis • Gloucester County: Claudia Harding and Kaylee Luckiewicz • Hunterdon County: Elizabeth Coppola, Philip Frey, Zach Majorossy, Ryan Mallea, Avery Schaefer, and Leah Urmston • Monmouth County: Colin Loch • Morris County: Johanna Pipoli • Ocean County: Hunter Morgan • Passaic County: Zachary Van Der Velden • Salem County: Talia Piore • Somerset County: Laura Amerman, Michael Clerico, Kate McHale, Zachary Menendez, and Surya Pillai • Sussex County: William Teitsma For the past 59 years, the National 4-H Youth Conference Center has invited 4-H members from across the country to travel to Washington, DC and participate in civic workshops, committees, and field trips before returning home to make positive changes in their own communities. CWF not only strengthens young people’s understanding of the government’s civic process, but it also boosts their leadership skills, communication skills, and overall confidence. During CWF, youth get a behind-the-scenes look at the nation’s capital while meeting with Members of Congress to learn more about how their government works. At the end of the program, youth develop action plans to address important issues in their communities. “CWF is a great opportunity for young people to come together, discuss the prob-

lems they see in their communities, and identify solutions to make their communities stronger. The experiences that young people gain during CWF gives them the proper tools and confidence to become successful, articulate leaders in the future.” said Jeannette Rea Keywood, State 4-H Agent, Depart-
ment of 4-H Youth Development.

SHREWSBURY – Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey is pleased to announce an exciting and innovative strategic partnership between their in-home visiting therapy dog program Caregiver Canines and Comfort Keepers In Home Senior Care located in Shrewsbury, NJ. Caregiver Canines is a free program which matches seniors, those with dementia and their caregivers for weekly visits with therapy dogs and volunteers in the comfort of their own homes. These visits have been found to reduce loneliness and senior isolation and provide great health benefits to those visited. Comfort Keepers provides compassionate, professional care to seniors and other adults in areas of Red Bank, Monmouth, and Northern Ocean County. Their trained caregivers offer a wide variety of services designed to help individuals live as independently as they wish, right in the comfort of their own home. “With a similar commitment to helping our older community members remain independent we thought it would be a wonderful idea to partner with Comfort Keepers to match our volunteers and therapy dogs
to their dog loving clients,” said Lynette Whiteman, CVCJ Executive Director. “As we age, sometimes there are physical or financial barriers to owning your own dog and that brings a lot of heartache. I have witnessed firsthand how much happiness these weekly visits bring and how great friendships develop with our volunteers. We appreciate this opportunity to reach even more individuals and caregivers.” “I am excited to be supporting Caregiver Canines. My company services seniors on a daily basis and we know first- hand about the effects of isolation of not only the patient but also the caregivers themselves. Many of our clients are no longer able to own and care for their own pets and Caregiver Canines is able to fill this void. We are so lucky to be able to work with this wonderful organization,” said Jim Winn, owner of Comfort Keepers of Shrewsbury. For more information about Caregiver Canines, please call 732-505-2273 or visit caregivercanines.org. You can also fi nd them on Facebook – Caregiver Canines. For more information about Comfort Keepers call 732-530-3636 or visit comfortkeeperscom/centraljersey.

Be Wary Of Turtle Crossings During This Nesting Season
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – When you take to the road, it is always important to be vigilant and safe; now more than ever, as nesting season is underway for turtles in New Jersey. The Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) reminds drivers to be cautious and on the lookout for turtles that may be crossing the roadway to lay their eggs. Turtles can sometimes travel long distances to find the perfect spot in which to lay eggs. This means crossing roadways, which puts the turtles at risk of being struck by passing vehicles. The summer shore traffic also increases this risk. Turtles are particularly vulnerable because they are slow moving and their defense mechanism is usually to stop and withdraw into their shell when feeling threatened, according to the NJDEP. “With summer approaching, New Jersey’s turtles are on the move looking for nesting sites to lay eggs,” DEP Acting Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe said. “This puts them in great danger as they frequently have to cross roadways to find the right location. We encourage motorists to drive cautiously so the turtles can cross roads and arrive to their nesting destination safely.” Turtle species that are currently on the move include: Eastern box, Eastern painted, wood and snapping turtles, and the Diamondback terrapin. The diamondback terrapin is particularly at risk as NJ’s only saltmarsh turtle. The terrapin is at risk now due to habitat loss, drowning in crab traps, and vehicle strikes, according to NJDEP. The loss of coastal
habitat has increased mortality risk as diamondback terrapins search for these nesting areas, often located along roadsides, increasing the risk of vehicle strikes. To protect the turtles during this nesting season, drivers should: Keep a safe distance and an eye out for turtles in the roadway. Use caution when avoiding a turtle, don’t swerve or veer from the lane. Use proper signaling when pulling over to assist turtles crossing. Allow turtles to safely cross roads unaided if a lack of oncoming traffic allows them to do so. Avoid handling turtles, but if it is necessary, handle gently and not excessively. Most turtles can be picked up by the side of their shells near the mid-point of the body. Do not pick up a turtle by its tail, as doing so may frighten or injure the reptile. Wear gloves or wash your hands after handling. Move the turtle in the direction that it is heading. A turtle will turn around if it is put in the wrong direction. The safest way to assist snapping turtles is to use branches or similar objects to prod them along from behind. Never take a turtle into your personal possession. Do not disturb a nesting turtle and keep children and pets away from it. Most turtle eggs will hatch in 60 to 80 days. A small cage can be placed around the nest to offer some additional protection for the first 30 to 45 days, but it must be removed before the hatchlings emerge.

County Clerk Reminds Residents To Apply For Passports Well In Advance
FREEHOLD – Although a cold winter is upon us in Monmouth County, now is the time to plan for spring travel. With spring break just a few months away, County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon reminds everyone to check their passports. “It’s time to apply for or renew your passport, if you are planning spring travel out of the country. Many countries require six months validity on a U.S. passport, so it is critical to check the expiration date in advance if you already have a passport,” said Hanlon, who is in charge of the passport offices in Neptune and Freehold. Spring break is one of the most popular times of year to travel. By applying for a passport now, travelers will save themselves the aggravation of rushing to get a passport, and will also save money by not having to expedite service. In addition, to take advantage of travel deals, it is essential to have a valid passport. Hanlon reminds residents that some airlines require a valid passport number when booking inter national f lights. Passport applications are accepted at
the County Clerk’s two Passport Offices in both Freehold, located in the Market Yard (south of Main Street), and Neptune, at 3544 Route 66. Passport services are also available at the Mobile County Connection at the Monmouth Mall, located on the upper level of the Monmouth Mall, adjacent to Boscov’s. To obtain a passport, it is necessary to have a certified birth certificate with a raised seal, social security number, a passport photo 2x2 inches in size, and current identification such as a driver’s license or government identification. Passport photos are available for a fee of $10 at both locations. Parents who are making a passport application for a child under the age of 16 are required to appear together or submit additional documentation. “Make sure to contact the Passport Office prior to appearing at a County passpor t off ice to be su re that you have the proper documentation and payments,” said Hanlon. For more information go to the County Clerk’s webpage at monmouthcountyclerk.com, contact the Freehold passport office at 732-431-7324, or Neptune at 732-303-2828.
New Jersey Vows Zero Tolerance On Hate Crimes
By Jennifer Peacock TRENTON – Government and law enforcement officials met at State Police Headquarters in Trenton Monday for their annual meeting with religious leaders to discuss concerns including bias crimes, houses-of-worship security, and general well-being to all who live in and travel to the Garden State. New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal stressed his office’s stance against hate crimes, that such acts of bias will not be tolerated in New Jersey. Religious leaders honored Grewal with an appreciation award for his commitment to the state’s interfaith communities. Among the officials in attendance were
Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato and OCPO Public Affairs Director Al Della Fave. L a ke wo o d C o m m i t t e e m a n M e i r Lichtenstein and Rabbi Avi Richler, who represented 58 Chabad centers around the state, also spoke. “With summer upon us and rising temperatures, we in law enforcement must be reminded to exercise tolerance, understanding and compassion,” Coronato said. “This annual meeting helps tremendously in educating front line officers to the many diverse cultural differences they will encounter in the coming months during the course of their daily patrols.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUly 28 - aug 3 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Make sure goals are worth your while. An excess of energy may have you ready to take on monumental tasks but be wary of taking on fruitless pursuits. Don’t let someone else’s agenda supersede your own. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): All is not as it appears. Take care not to make snap judgments or reach conclusions as the facts that you have received may be distorted. It may be wise to hold off on starting anything important for a few days. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keep expectations reasonable. A hobby or project may help pass the time, but you shouldn’t anticipate gaining much out of it. Stay among close friends or loved ones as they know how to encourage you. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Know the difference between right and wrong. Drifting into gray areas may provide an easy shortcut but also may come close to breaking the rules. There’s no shame in asking for advice to solve a problem. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Speak from the heart or don’t speak at all. Telling someone what they want to hear may be the wrong thing to do, especially if it goes against what you believe in. A disagreement does not mean you have to be enemies. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Loosen up a little. It may be a case of you wanting to get down to business while everyone else just wants to sit back and relax. Be mindful of the feelings of those around you and try
not to be pushy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Have it your way. You don’t have to answer to anyone if you’re a solo act so go out and do the things you want to do. It may be difficult to get cooperation or assistance from others. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t put the cart before the horse. You should clear your slate of existing responsibilities and tasks before taking on anything new. Keep an eye out for bargains and sales but only on essential items. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Regardless of the source, if someone gives you sound advice you would be wise to take it to heart. The simplest solution often works the best. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Dig yourself out of the rut. Instead of lamenting over your dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs, resolve to do something about it. A positive attitude can make a world of difference. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Slow and steady wins the race. Don’t rush through tasks as you are likely to make silly mistakes in your haste. Be sure to relate your ideas clearly and concisely as other may easily become confused. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Keep your emotions in check. Even when you are in the right, speaking out in anger may lead to nothing but trouble. Follow the lead of a cooler-headed friend or loved one to guide you on the right path.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Pump Up The Spice: Grilled, Chile-Spiked Fruit Salsa Brings The Sweet Heat By Wolfgang Puck
Here we are in the heart of grilling season, a time when people who love outdoor cooking will look for any excuse to fire up the grill. Enthusiasts happily toss just about any ingredient on the fire, from heads of radicchio or Belgian endive quickly charred for a delicious salad to kabobs, sausages, burgers, fish fillets, steaks and chops to grilled vegetable side dishes and even pizzas. I’m surprised by one food category, however, that continues to be met by skepticism when it comes to grilling: fresh fruit. People seem to think that sweet things won’t benefit from grilling. But the truth is the same aspects of grilling that make savory ingredients taste so good can benefit sweet things as well - especially fresh fruit. A few minutes over a hot fire will caramelize the natural sugars in ripe but firm fruit, intensifying the flavor while making it more tender and juicy. Grill pitted nectarine or peach halves, for example, and place them on grill-toasted slices of pound cake, and you have an amazing summer dessert - especially when you add a scoop of your favorite ice cream before serving. You don’t have to confine grilled fruit to the dessert part of your menu, either. I especially love to make quick salsas based on grilled fresh fruit to serve with any grilled seafood, poultry or meat that might taste even better accompanied by a combination of sweet, tangy and spicy flavors. For the perfect example of how delicious grilled fruit salsas can be, I’d like to share my recipe here for sea scallops accompanied by a lively, colorful salsa of fresh pineapple (at its peak of season right now) tossed with grilled jalapeno chiles, bell pepper and red onion. The salsa is quick and easy to prepare once your fire is hot, taking just a few minutes on the grill and a few more for cooling, chopping and tossing. All that remains to do is grill the scallops, which take about 2 minutes per side (don’t overcook them), and serve it all on a platter or individual plates. The salsa goes perfectly with any other main dish you like, from shrimp to salmon to tuna, boneless pork chops or steaks. It’s even great on sausages or burgers. And you can vary the ingredients as you wish, adding some grilled firm pitted nectarine or plum halves or other fresh herbs such as basil, chives or parsley; or using lemon or orange juice instead of the lime. So you can go on customizing and enjoying it all through the summer grilling season. GR I LLED SEA SCA LLOPS W I T H GRILLED PINEAPPLE, JALAPENO AND BELL PEPPER SALSA Serves 4 to 6 as an appetizer, 2 to 3 as a main course For the grilled pineapple, jalapeno and bell pepper salsa: 1 small to medium ripe pineapple, peeled and cut into slices 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick 2 red onions, peeled and cut into slices 1/2-inch (12-mm) thick 3 green jalapeno chiles 2 red jalapeno chiles, or 2 more green ones
1 red, orange or green bell pepper, quartered, stemmed, and seeded Extra-virgin olive oil, for coating 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves 1 lime, juiced Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper For the grilled sea scallops: 12 large sea scallops 2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint leaves 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil leaves Extra-virgin olive oil Freshly ground black pepper Kosher salt Bottled teriyaki or barbecue sauce (optional) If using wooden or bamboo skewers (you’ll need 8 total), soak them in water for 30 minutes to help prevent scorching during grilling. Meanwhile, prepare the salsa: Build a fire in a charcoal grill, or preheat a gas or electric grill. When the fire is hot, carefully oil the grill’s cooking grid. Place the pineapple slices on the grill, and cook until seared golden brown, about 4 minutes per side, turning once with grilling tongs or a grilling spatula. Set aside on a platter once you’re done grilling the pineapple. While the pineapple is grilling, put the onion slices, jalapenos and bell pepper in a mixing bowl, and gently toss with enough olive oil to coat. Arrange on the hot grill and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside on another platter. When the jalapenos are cool enough to handle, use paper towels to help you peel off the skin. Stem, seed and mince the jalapenos. Cut the pineapple into 1/4- to 1/2-inch (6- to 12mm) cubes, removing and discarding the tough core from each slice. Cut up the onions and bell pepper the same size. In the mixing bowl, combine the pineapple, onion, jalapenos, bell pepper and cilantro, add the lime juice, drizzle with olive oil, and toss well, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside while you prepare the scallops. For the scallops, place them on paper towels and lightly blot them dry. Thread 2 skewers parallel through 3 scallops; repeat with the remaining scallops. Place the skewered scallops in a single layer on a shallow tray or pan. Sprinkle evenly with mint and basil, then drizzle generously with olive oil. Season to taste with black pepper, then drizzle with more oil. Loosely cover and leave for about 15 minutes. Brush the grill’s cooking grid with oil. Season the scallops lightly on both sides with salt, and place the skewers over high heat. Grill until just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side, turning the skewers once. If you like, after turning them, brush lightly with teriyaki or barbecue sauce. Mound some of the salsa on individual serving plates or on a platter. (Reserve any extra in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for another meal.) Pushing with a fork, carefully slide the scallops off the skewers and arrange on top of the salsa. Serve immediately.
