NRC Officials Break Down Decommissioning At Public Hearing
By Kimberly Bosco LACEY – The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) held another public hearing for residents of Lacey and sur rounding municipalities on the shutdown of the nearby Oyster Creek Generating Station, owned by Exelon Generation. The meeting was held at the Lacey Township Community Hall on July 17 where dozens of residents gathered to hear the officials’ reports for the decommissioning of the plant in more detail, as well as field questions from the public. Overseeing Decommissioning The presentations started with the NRC’s

is done and we ensure it’s done safely,” said Watson, noting that the NRC has terminated licenses for over 72 complex material sites, power reactors, and research reactors. Key regulations for
the decommissioning process include: license termination, power reactor termination, independent spent fuel storage installation license (ISFSI), and inspection manual chapter 2561

By Jennifer Peacock TOMS RIVER – The county plans to build a “replacement building” on the same spot that its current social services offices sit at 1027 Hooper Ave. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders approved in the beginning of July a $7 million appropriation for the land acquisition, design, engineering and permitting of that property in Toms River. The county currently leases six buildings on that 14-acre lot for $4.250 million annually from Grunin Properties. The county has leased those buildings for more than 30 years, County Business Administrator Carl Block told The Toms River Times. (Land - See Page 4)
Hooray For Hollywood! In Ocean County
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Former Gov. Chris Christie yelled “cut” on movie industry tax incentives back in 2010 and let an attempted reauthorization die back in 2016. Variety, the entertainment business industry magazine, reported back in October that it was the governor’s dislike of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” that prompted the dropping of many industry-related tax incentives. (Recently, the show did return to Seaside Heights for a two-day filming stint, and was apparently filming scenes for an upcoming season in Atlantic City. Brick Township rejected the shows bid to film there.) But Gov. Phil Murphy signed those (Hollywood - See Page 4)

incentives back into law with the Garden State Film and Digital Media Jobs Act on July 3, the benefits of which Ocean County fully plans to use. The county approved members for its newly formed film and television advisory commission at a recent Freeholder meeting. Those members are: Tim Hart, Ocean County Historian; Toby Wolf, director of marketing, Jenkinson’s Boardwalk; Michael Redpath, executive director of Seaside Heights Business Improvement District; Liz Santoro, director of sales at Mainland Holiday Inn, Manahawkin, and Dana Lancellotti, division director, Ocean County Tourism and Business Development. The county had established a film advisory committee in 1979. This commission replaces that. Ocean County offers creative people miles of pristine beaches and boardwalks to the east, the Pine Barrens to the west, and a variety of exteriors in between. Freeholder Joseph Vicari, who oversees tourism and business development in the county, sees a bright future for film and television here. “Film crews, producers, and all the staffing that goes with this would fill hotels and restaurants. They would tap into and support local services and attractions and elevate the visibility of our tourism destinations,” Vicari said. “This is a great opportunity to present our diverse culture and landscape and showcase our attributes on a county website that is specifically designed to target and attract filmmakers.” The General’s

What exactly that will look like still needs to be fi nalized, and can change under differing circumstances, both Gant and Markulic said. The municipal government, up to this point, didn’t have an assistant or deputy business administrator. When Markulic was away, her duties were split between the chief fi nancial officer and municipal clerk. Now there will be a better defi ned hierarchy. The business administrator said she did

I’m excited for the opportunity, thrilled,” Gant said. “I look forward to assisting the township and its leadership, and I look forward to what’s ahead.” The new position is a stipend appointment of $7,500. Gant will officially start July 30. This appointment doesn’t affect his job as personnel director. He’s been employed with the township seven years.

constructed where the current parking lot is. The plan is to seamlessly move offices from their old locations into the new building as it’s completed, so no services are interrupted during the construction and demolition. Block said there are approximately 400 employees on that campus. An estimate of the new building’s cost won’t be available until an architect is approved and hired to design the new building.

Despite its poor portrayal at times of life at the beach, “Jersey Shore” was an economic force in Seaside Heights during its filming in the borough. Again, Variety reported that the borough parking meter collection jumped from $807,000 prior to the show in 2007 to $1.3 million in 2010. Area hotels, restaurants, car rental agencies, caterers, hardware stores, and dry cleaners cashed in from the show. “The film and digital media industry is poised to become a dynamic part of New Jersey’s economy, one that will create good-paying union jobs and countless residual benefits to the economy,” Murphy said July 3. “By signing this legislation, we are allowing these companies to take advantage of New Jersey’s unique culture, location, and geography. I look forward to seeing the many projects that will come out of our great state thanks to the Garden State Film and Digital Media Jobs Act.” “The Ocean County Film and Television Advisory Commission will advise, serve as liaison and collaborate with the current New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Development Commission to effectively promote and proactively pursue film industry projects to take place in Ocean County,” Vicari said. “This would contribute to economic growth, create job opportunities and elevate the visibility of Ocean County.” The New Jersey Department of State Motion Picture and Television Commission lists locations in each county that might interest productions. In 2018 thus far, two feature films and 20 television productions have filmed in the state. At least one, “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation,” filmed in Ocean County.

NRC:
Continued From Page 1 dedicated to reactor decommissioning. Included in the license termination is the process of fully, radiologically decontaminating the site and meeting the NRC’s criteria for unrestricted use. “All of the sites that have been decommissioned in the US, including the power reactors, have been released for unrestricted use, meaning the owner can use the property for any purpose they want to after we terminate the license,” said Watson. The inspection manual governs the reactor decommissioning process. “One of the biggest things I hear is that when the plant shuts down, the NRC goes away,” said Watson. “That can’t be farther from the truth.” The NRC will be using the inspection manual guidelines to continue expecting the plant until the license is terminated. Storing Spent Fuel Later on in the process, ISFSI deals with the storage of spent fuel, which for Oyster Creek, will be at the site for quite a while, according to Watson. Exelon plans to utilize dry cask storage using the SAFSTOR method for the spent fuel at Oyster Creek. The NRC stated that SAFSTOR allows for natural radioactive decay, produces less waste, exposes workers to less radiation, and is the most efficient option, allowing for dismantlement at any time. Jeff Dostal, director of decommissioning, noted during his presentation that
SAFSTOR allows all structures not supporting spent fuel storage to be “drained, de-energized, and retired in place, ready for removal.” Dry cask storage involves removing the spent fuel pool and storing fuel on-site in dry cask storage systems. These are metal casks that the spent fuel gets stored in that then gets welded up and placed in concrete casks. NRC officials will come out and inspect these regularly. The site will transform to include just an ISFSI only site where spent fuel is stored in a protected area and the rest of the site will be dormant. Cost & Environmental Impact A concern for some residents, such as Jeff Tittel, director of the NJ Sierra Club, was the security of the dry cask storage against situations where severe weather can affect them. “The plant itself is falling apart and located on a site vulnerable to sea level rise,” said Tittel. “As long as the plant isn’t dismantled, the community remains at risk.” Tittel used his time at the public hearing to push for a more accelerated decommissioning plan to reduce the risk to the community and reduce the overall cost to taxpayers. According to Tittel, Exelon’s 60-year timeline for decommissioning will cost taxpayers $1.4 billion. “Exelon wants to take longer to close the plant to make more money.” NRC officials combatted concerns for the lengthy decommissioning process, stating (NRC - See Page 30)

Bill Would Create NJ Broadcast Channel For Emergency Alerts From The Desk Of
Congressman
Chris Smith WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Chris Smith (R-4 th ) introduced legislation, with Rep. Donald Payne, Jr. (D-10th) as the lead cosponsor, that would promptly set up a common local broadcast channel specifically for
citizens of New Jersey, so they can receive potentially life-saving news, information, and emergency programming. “New Jersey is one of only two states without a common broadcast channel specific
to the state. This means that in times of emergency - like we saw in Superstorm Sandy - many residents may not be receiving potentially life-saving news and information,” Smith said. “This legislation - the Local Television Service and Emergency Preparedness Act - aims to correct this long-standing problem.” Among other actions, Smith’s bill would: • Provide a consistent local channel that the citizens of New Jersey could turn to for important and poten-
tially life-saving news and information, such as alerts from the Emergency Alert System (EAS), updates from the National Weather Center, and AMBER alerts • Designate the channel as an LP-1 EAS station, so it could better disseminate EAS warnings to TV and radio stations around the state. • Ensure that the channel would provide local and state news and a nightly newscast specific to the state. • Require that a New Jersey commercial newscast would begin within 90 days
of passage. While many New Jersey residents are served by New York and Philadelphia broadcast stations for daily news, during times of crisis and emergencies those stations will provide information relevant to those specific geographic regions. For example, when Superstorm Sandy ravaged the Northeast region in October, 2012, New York broadcast stations concentrated coverage on Long Island, Queens, Brooklyn, the subways and City Hall with limited men-
tion of New Jersey areas. The New Jersey Broadcasters Association has expressed its unanimous support for Smith’s legislation. “The Smith/Payne bill would remedy a problematic situation in New Jersey,” the association stated in a letter. “H.R. 6416 provides for an elegantly simple solution to New Jersey’s lack of local television coverage, while simultaneously augmenting the EAS. As the most densely populated state in the nation, New Jersey’s residents deserve this relief.”
Studying High Numbers Of Cancer In Firefighters 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 fi refighters 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 fl ames when they run into burning buildings, but
also dangerous fumes, toxins, and known carcinogens released during a fi re 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 Pal-
lone, 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 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-ofduty 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 rein-
troduced 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 (DMd.), 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 (DVt.), 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.), Bernie 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

MANCHESTER – The Manchester Township Police Department is pleased to announce the implementation of “Operation Watch Dog,” a voluntary video surveillance registration program that will assist our investigators as they work to solve crimes in our community. During a criminal investigation our officers are often unaware of the many residences and businesses that have surveillance systems that may have captured footage of value to the investigation. Having knowledge of the location of a surveillance system in the area of a crime could be instrumental in a successful resolution. This program encourages residents and businesses to register their privately owned home/business video surveillance in efforts

to increase safety and reduce crime. There are several benefits to registering with Operation Watch Dog. It expedites the retrieval of footage from surveillance systems close to the crime scene in an effort to uncover criminal activity. It also reduces the number of officers assigned to canvass the area around a crime scene for operational surveillance systems. This allows officers assigned to the investigation to be deployed to other tasks in the investigation thereby enabling a higher degree of efficiency of allocated resources. Participation in Operation Watch Dog always remains 100 percent voluntary and personal information will be kept confidential and not for public dissemination. Only law enforcement personnel can view surveillance footage, with permission from the owner. Please note that this program does not give police the ability to tap into any home or business surveillance feeds. The Manchester Police will only contact you if there is a criminal incident in the area of your security cameras. Police personnel may request a copy of any video captured by your cameras which may be pertinent to the investigation. For more information about Operation Watch Dog and to register your home/business in the program, please visit ManchesterPoliceNJ. com/OperationWatchDog.

Crestwood Chorus
WHITING – We, the members of the Crestwood Chorus sang in our last concert “I Sing Because I’m Happy.” Although we do sing because we’re happy I believe it is more than that. Singing is what makes us happy. We find ourselves walking around singing to ourselves. When we are in rehearsal for a program, it might be one of the pieces we are learning. After a program maybe something we have performed. At other times, we might just suddenly sing something from a wellknown musical, with of course, ourselves in the starring role. When we are by ourselves “Anything Goes” and it all makes us happy. We are enjoying the summer sunshine and thinking of September when we will begin
preparing for our Christmas concert. We are looking for all voice parts, who have choral experience and some familiarity with reading music. We do present a challenging program and music knowledge is necessary to keep up. We have a new director, Esther Graham and at a recent meeting she discussed her vision for the future and included were some selections that she has been reviewing for our Sunday, December 2 concert. We look forward to working with her. First rehearsal is Tuesday, September 4 at 6:30 p.m. at the Community Reformed Church, 36 Lacey Road, Whiting. I am hoping you will join us. Please contact 732-849-9310 for more information.

That was the message from Micah Fowler, 20, who grew up in Barnegat and has the featured role in ABC TV’s “Speechless,” which was just picked up for a third season of 22 episodes.

Continued From Page 18 it takes time for Micah to speak, he was able to express himself to the audience. Micah was asked by his agent to submit a “personality tape” for an untitled project, which was a tape of him talking about himself and joking around. A year later, his agent asked for another personality tape for the project which was now given a name: “Speechless.” A few days later, the casting director sent six scenes to their home in Barnegat, which his family taped and the agent loved. On his 18th birthday, Micah found out he got the role, Tammy said. “It had been my dream to be an actor. When I got the opportunity to do this show I was so thankful,” he said. “I am so honored to be a part of this show. I get social media messages every day. People say ‘You have really changed my perspective, thank you for bringing a smile to my son or my daughter,’” Micah said. “We get a lot of those messages,” Tammy added. “On Tuesday there was one from a boy who said he never say anyone on TV like himself, who has physical disabilities.” Speechless has made a big difference to people with disabilities because it is changing society’s perception of people who are disabled, she said. Some people are condescending to those with disabilities, Tammy said. “People have patted Micah on the head and said
‘good boy.’ They get into your personal space, people would talk down to him and society didn’t believe in his potential, so there are a lot of challenges Micah has faced along the way,” she said. “My best advice is speak positive words into these kids’ lives, help them find out who they are.” “I just want to say, never give up on your dreams, no matter what challenges or obstacles you have,” Micah said. BASE camp director Brett Novick, who is a school counselor at Osbornville Elementary School, opened the floor to questions from the audience. One of the children asked if Micah was paralyzed. Tammy said that her son can feel his limbs, that CP affects motor skills. Another question was about where the series is shot and how long it takes to shoot an episode. It takes a week to shoot one episode, and every day is different for Micah, Tammy said. He could have a long day where he is in eight scenes, or sometimes his day can be shorter when he is in fewer scenes. The family spends three weeks a month in Los Angeles and one week at their home in Barnegat. One of the BASE students asked Micah about his future goals. Micah said he would love to be in a Star Wars movie. Micah is the ambassador of the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation and was recently named #13 in Forbes “Top 30 under 30 class of 2018,” which acknowledges the inspiring work of young entrepreneurs and game changers today.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Elbow Up
For some folks, inserting your hearing aid into your ear can be a real struggle. Sometimes you twist and turn the hearing aid which eventually creates a sore ear. Here are a few tricks you can utilize to properly insert your hearing instrument into your ear canal. First, for custom, non-behind-theear products, the “red” writing on the aid is for the right ear and the “blue” writing is for the left ear. Second, when you are inserting the aid, the “vent hole” is usually on the bottom of the aid facing outside. Third, as you are trying to insert the
instrument, make sure your elbow is “up” in line with your ear and push toward your nose. If your elbow is down, you may not insert the aid in the right direction. Thus, the aid may “stick” out of your ear and constantly ring. Remember, if you are struggling with hearing aid insertion, keep your elbow up while inserting the aid. This will make life a lot simpler and alleviate potential ear soreness and feedback. Finally, make sure you keep in close contact with your hearing healthcare professional who is there for guidance.
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!

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.

By Jennifer Peacock I have to tell my story. He was calling from his home in Stuart, Florida, the sailfish capital of the world. This Atlantic Coast city once had a house used as a haven for shipwrecked sailors called The House of Refuge. It might not be an accident that Richie Lapinski Jr. lives in Stuart.
From Addiction To Recovery
Lapinski is fighting a summer cold, but still wants to talk. I have to tell my story. Almost everyone has heard someone’s version of it: a tight-knit family, involved in sports. Mom and dad sacrifice, the kids thrive. Then comes the injury. Then comes the painkillers. Then for some, the downfall comes. Not everyone makes it to the redemption part. The restoration part.
This is Lapinski’s story. He grew up with his brother, sister and parents in Bayonne, New Jersey. His father was deputy chief of the Jersey City Fire Department, and coached football and baseball. His mother was a stay-at-home mom and ran the youth cheerleading squad. “She made sure I never went without and all my needs were met. I went to CCD,
played sports every season, had many friends. I loved growing up in Bayonne. I pretty much had a perfect childhood,” Lapinski said. His family moved from Bayonne to Manasquan, which had an excellent secondary school sports program. Lapinski’s older brother played, but his grades didn’t attract the big-name schools. Lapinski learned from that, and made sure his grades and game were top notch. He was an allstate football star and all-county baseball player with 12 varsity letters and four state championships. He was vice president of his high school class, a member of several prestigious high school clubs as well as a member of the National Honor Society. Even with an ACL injury his last football game senior year, Harvard, Princeton, Bucknell and other schools courted him. He won a football scholarship to Lehigh University. “Up until this point in my life most things came easy to me. I was a happy and successful person,” Lapinski said. But he partied. When he wasn’t in sports, Lapinski indulged in alcohol and pills. But he always cleaned up for sports. When he tore his ACL again his sophomore year at Lehigh, his college sports career was over. Now there was no reason not to party. He remembered the numbness he got from the painkillers he took for his ACL injury. Now he needed to numb life. It’s not that Lapinski had NFL dreams. But sports filled his time while he wondered what career path he should take. Should he be a firefighter like his dad? What about a teacher and coach, all things that had such a positive impact on his own young life? Lapinski easily slid from pain killers to heroin. It’s cheap, readily available, and provides the brain a dopamine rush that provides a sense of pleasure and well-being. For a little while. He supported his own habit by selling drugs and stealing from his family. And it eventually all caught up with him. At 22, Lapinski was arrested, convicted, and spent three years in state prison. “Now I can never be a teacher, a coach, a firefighter. I sold drugs, I stole from my family, I would take money from parents’ bank accounts. That’s why I ended up in prison. I glorified the things in life that I know aren’t important now,” Lapinski said. Most addiction recovery programs agree that if a user wants to change, they can’t go back. To anything. But that’s exactly where Lapinski ended up – back - when he was released from prison. He went back to selling drugs and hanging around the same people he did before. He wanted quick money, and got it, and lost it all. His life shipwrecked before he was even 30, Lapinski finally realized he needed to find shore. “I was finally tired. I was tired of being burden to my family. I was tired of feeling like a loser. I didn’t want to live. I truly didn’t want to live. I was so tired of being in so much pain,” Lapinski said. “After 10 years, I was willing to take suggestions from people who got sober.” (Addiction - See Page 27)

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 dis- Dina M. Vicari Esq. putes, 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 $650-800 and of course the cost may be more if the property is very large or has irregular shape. If you chose to have metal stakes installed at the corners then that may increase the cost of the survey. These markers are important for those homeowners who, after making the purchase, want to install a fence, pool, shed, or an addition to the dwelling. The purchase of a home or lot may be overwhelming but the attorneys at R.C. Shea and Associates can assist you through that process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law fi rm 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.

Ocean County Sherriff ’s Department Detective Saved Suicidal Man’s Life
MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP – The quick actions of an Ocean County Sheriff’s Department Detective, with the assistance of Manchester Township and Lacey Township police, recently were credited with saving the life of a suicidal man. Sheriff’s Department Det. John Anderson
was on routine patrol on Route 539 on July 8 when he was advised by the Ocean County Communications Division of a missing person from Manchester Township who was possibly suicidal. According to a Sheriff’s Department report, Anderson was given a description of
the man and began to search for his vehicle. A “ping” on the missing man’s cell phone put his location a short distance from where Anderson was patrolling off Route 539. Anderson was informed by the owner of another vehicle in the area that the vehicle he was searching for was about 3/4ths of
a mile into the woods west of Route 539. Upon arriving at the vehicle, Anderson located the victim on the bed of the truck. He pulled the victim to the tailgate of the truck and requested EMS and paramedics. With the victim unresponsive, Anderson successfully performed a chest and sternum rub on the victim until the man made a faint sound and then took some medium breaths. Anderson was then assisted by Manchester Township police in administering oxygen. With the help of Lacey Township police officers, the victim was transported to Route 539 where they were met by paramedics and EMS. The victim was then transported to University of Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, by Penn-Star 6 helicopter. “I join with Sheriff Michael Mastronardy in recognizing the quick response of Det. Anderson in finding and helping this man,” said Ocean County Freeholder John P. Kelly, Director of Law and Public Safety. “Our officers are well trained and are here to help all of our citizens.”

Addiction:
Continued From Page 24 Lapinski ended up in Florida. He went through a “safe detox” - a medically supervised detoxification from drugs - and entered treatment. He not only had to dump drugs, but “friends, places and things” that were part of his drug-drenched past. He joined AA, got a sponsor, and still attends 4-5 meeting each week. “I started my life completely over,” Lapinski said. He traded his get-rich-quickby-selling-drugs ambitions and instead moved furniture all day, and then took an overnight tech job at a rehab center. “I had no car, no license, no cell phone, and just one bag of clothes. I worked 90 hours a week, got my license, got a car, got a phone.” He progressed at the treatment center, and is now the outreach coordinator for Foundations Wellness Center. He’s at the Port St. Lucie location. “I truly believe in our program and the people that work there. Our staff goes above and beyond to make sure clients are given the tools to get sober and live a
The Manchester Times, July 28, 2018, Page 27 happy and successful life. Our staff is like a family,” Lapinski said. He’s 34 now. He’s walked his 12 steps over and over, making amends with those he’s hurt over the years. He goes to work. He supports himself. He still thinks his childhood was the greatest. He had the greatest mom and dad. But at his young age, he’s lost so many friends to addiction. He knows what it’s like to rely on drugs. Escaping feels better than dealing with the pain and problems, until it doesn’t, and that escape is now the cause of pain and problems. Lapinski lives his life with willingness, patience, and labor. With those three things, anyone can get their life back. “Today I spend my life telling my story and spreading the message that there is a solution to this terrible problem that is affecting so many families and especially young people. I am able to help people get the help they need. I have a purpose today and I wake up excited and motivated to help my fellow addict and alcoholic that is still suffering. I am living proof that recovery is possible,” Lapinski said.

NRC:
Continued From Page 8 that they must follow federal guidelines for the process and Exelon has up to 60 years to do so. Dostal’s presentation noted that the timeline could be shortened if new technologies for fuel storage are approved, but as of right now, the NRC plans to utilize the full time allotted for decommissioning. “March of each year [the licensee] is required to send us [the NRC] a status on the decommissioning funds, so every year they are reporting to us what money is left or how much has been grown,” said Watson. The NRC verifies that amount each year. Watson also said that the PSDAR calculates
the cost of decommissioning to be around $984 million. Dostal’s presentation focused mainly on the PSDAR (Post Shutdown Decommissioning Report) which includes a description of decommissioning activities planned for the plant, a “high-level schedule” of decommissioning activities, cost estimates, and environmental impacts. While NRC officials claimed that environmental safety was one of their priorities during decommissioning, some residents still harbored concerns, such as Katie Smith of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance. “The generic environmental impact statement that the PSDAR relies on heavily is from 2002, so I’m wondering what the

NRC thinks they’re missing,” she stated during the public hearing. Smith inquired to see if the NRC required a more updated environmental impact study off of which to base the PSDAR. Watson noted that the NRC is in the process of updating the environmental impact study currently, however “pretty much the same methods you would use for decommissioning are still good from 20 years ago.” He explained that the NRC is depending on the updated environmental impact statement and anything new that is discovered through the licensee’s review and the NRC’s own environmental review. All of these factors will be brought together with the PSDAR. Overall Timeline Dostal’s presentation on the PSDAR also incorporated a timeline for the decommissioning of Oyster Creek. Split up into a transition/planning stage and 5 individual phases, the Site Decommissioning Phased Approach takes us from January of 2018 to September of 2078, when the NRC hopes to see the license terminated. Transition Planning: This stage can be anywhere from 2 to 5 years and includes the formation of transition teams, development of staffing plans, development of strategic decisions, and the submission of official reports (like PSDAR). We are currently in this stage right now. Phase 1: This phase should take less than 30 days and hopes to take off in September of this year (the plant is slated to close Sept. 17, 2018). It includes offloading the core, implementing a permanently defueled e-plan, and implementing a certified fuel handler program. These first two stages make up the Decommissioning Transition sector of the process, which will take us to October 2018. Next comes the SAFSTOR/DECON stage. Phase 2: Next is SAFSTOR/DECON,
where all the fuel will be removed from the reactor. Phase 2 should take about 10 to 15 months and include: the movement of fuel to ISFSI strategic plan, retirement of structures not supporting spent fuel, and the implementation of defueled license and tech specs. Phase 3: This phase should take 3-5 years. Here we can expect to see spent fuel moved to ISFSI and completed preparations for collapsing the Site Protected Area. We should see all spent fuel in dry cask storage by November 2023, according to the timeline. Phase 4: This is the last stage of SAFSTRO/DECON, which can take anywhere from 10 to 49 years. Here will see a continuation of any decommissioning activities and the site will become ISFSI only. The NRC anticipates the fuel to be accepted by the Department of Energy by September 2034; however this is a rough estimate, officials stressed. This last phase makes up the Site Restoration stage. Phase 5: This stage is for site restoration, which should take 2-4 years. Here the license is terminated and the site will be restored for any future use of the land. The NRC estimated by December of 2077, the site deconstruction will be complete. License termination is estimated for September 2078. In related news, the NRC also recently approved Exelon’s request for changes to the post-shutdown emergency plans at Oyster Creek. “The requested exemptions would allow Exelon to reduce emergency planning requirements and subsequently revise the OCNGS (Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station) Emergency Plan to reflect the permanently defueled condition of the station,” according to Exelon’s statement. The changes to the emergency plans will take effect approximately one year after the plant shuts down on September 17, 2018.

Inspectors Test Boardwalk Games For Fairness
By Kimberly Bosco SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Beachgoers were able to catch a special presentation on the Seaside Heights Boardwalk on July 17 at Franklin Avenue as Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal and the Division of Consumer Affairs discussed the annual Operation Safe Summer 2018 program. The program consists of boardwalk inspections to all establishments to make sure that retailers are operating stores and games safely and fairly. In order to promote a family-friendly environment, the Division of Consumer Affairs enforces game and price checks to keep business transparent and honest. “Through their efforts, we are making sure that the few stores and amusement game operators who aren’t playing by the rules are held accountable so they don’t spoil the fun for everyone,” said Paul R. Rodríguez, Acting Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs. Attorney General Grewal noted that the boardwalk is the quintessential place for summer, family-time fun. “The reason we do this every year is because the boardwalk, Seaside Heights, its iconic of our summers here in New Jersey…of family and friends getting together and trying to have a good time and establish memories,” he said. The inspections encourage and maintain safety, transparency, and fairness in boardwalk retail, according to Grewal. “As a father, I want to be able to lose those games based on my own abilities, or inabilities,” Grewal joked. “We don’t want anyone walking away from what should be an enjoyable trip feeling like they, or worse, their children, were taken advantage of by rigged games or deceptive sales practices.” Not only does Operations Safe Summer 2018 focus on keeping boardwalk games fair to consumers, but it also investigates the way stores price their products and handle their return policies. Grewal said that part of the process is making sure that product prices and return policies are clearly labeled. “We don’t want anyone’s experience to be ruined when you get to that cash register and you realize [a product]…is nearly twice as much as you thought it would be,” he explained. Since the program began last month, the initial inspections have found 12 establishments in two seaside towns that have allegedly violated state consumer protection laws and regulations, according to the Attorney General’s office. Investigators from the Division’s Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission (LGCCC) unit and its Office of Consumer Protection (OCP) visit the boardwalk to perform the inspections. These investigators are looking for violations in the gameplay such as a prize that is too heavy for the crane machine to pick up, a game that makes it impossible to win the top prize, or an incorrectly labeled prize. So far, out of 8 arcades and 27 individual amusement games, investigators found 5
locations with alleged violations like these. From the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, investigators took to the boardwalk to check the retail stores. Of 25 stores already inspected, the OCPO investigators found 7 with alleged violations. Violations in retail can be anything from an unmarked or not clearly marked item to the lack of a visible refund policy.
“In addition to inspecting for consumer protection violations, investigators also check for sales of prohibited items, such as novelty lighters, and test toys and prizes for excessive levels of lead. The Division also hands out educational materials to consumers to empower them as their own best advocates against fraud and deceit in the marketplace,” according to the Attor-

Investigators also open up the machine to see the mechanics inside and make sure that they are NJ certified, which is a requirement. Officials then gave the football game a whirl, where they again measured the distance and Gurbir and Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato tossed the ball hoping to hit the target. Neither made it, but at least they determined that the game was not rigged. Operation Safe Summer began back in 2014 and has since issued 183 citations for one or more violations of amusement games licenses on the boardwalk. Game operators can be fi ned for violations, up to $500.
They fi rst stopped at a game that requires you to hit a bottle with a baseball for a prize. Rodriguez successfully smashed a bottle on his fi rst throw, to which Grewal joked, “It can’t be rigged.” Officials also measured the distance from the boardwalk to the target of the game. Using a tape measure, they found it met the required 22 feet. The group then moved on to the crane machine games inside Lucky Leo’s arcade where Joseph Chessere, an investigator with the LGCCC, discussed how the investigators go about checking the machine for violations. Chessere explained that they first need to verify that the game can be won, and then they open the machine up and take a look at how it works. He demonstrated this on a machine that offers up small bags with hidden coin credits inside. Chessere tested the crane’s ability to pick up the bag, and then verified that it actually contained the correct –Photo by Kimberly Bosco amount. “If it’s not there, that’s Officials from the Division of Consumer Affairs and Ocean a violation,” he said. “Its County Prosecutor’s Office will be inspecting the games fraudulent deceptive and retail stores along the boardwalk for violations during Operation Safe Summer 2018. practice.”

By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – The 4th annual “Clear the Shelters” national adoption event will be held on August 18, 1-4 p.m. at both Ocean County Animal Shelters in Manahawkin and Jackson. “Clear the Shelters” is a nationwide event put on by hundreds of shelters all across thwe country.

Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. “If you or someone you know have been thinking about adding a dog or cat to the family, nothing is more rewarding than rescuing a shelter pet.” The annual event has seen over 150,000 animals adopted since 2015. “Our goal is to find homes for as many dogs and cats as possible during this special one day adoption event,” said Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) Public Health Coordinator. “We’re in the midst of our busy season and have a bumper crop of kittens
along with many other sweet, adult cats and dogs ready for a second chance.” During the event, all adoption fees will be waived and every dog and cat adopted will receive a veterinary exam, age appropriate vaccinations, is spayed/ neutered, and microchipped. If you’re interested in adopting an animal, take part in the event at one of the two Ocean County locations: the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility located at 360 Haywood Road in Manahawkin, and the Northern Ocean County Animal Facility located at 615 Freemont Avenue in Jackson. “We have a wide variety of lovable cats and dogs available for adoption. From all sizes, ages, and breeds, we have a pet suited for everyone,” said Brian Rumpf, Director of Administration for the Ocean County Health Department. “Every year hundreds of pets are adopted from the Ocean County Animal Facilities and there’s nothing better than seeing the joy and happiness these wonderful animals bring to their new families.” For more information, call 732-657-8086 or 609-978-0127 or visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org.

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.
