JERSEY SHORE BEACHES READY FOR SUMMER
By Chris Lundy JERSEY SHORE – Memorial Day is the start of the summer season, but some still got to the beach before the traffic starts coming down the Parkway. Daniel Ortiz, Nicole Mejia, and Daniel “D.J.” Ortiz Jr., 3, were playing in the sand on a Seaside Heights beach just before the holiday weekend. As the afternoon wore on, a chilly wind started.
“Little man wanted a beach day,” Daniel Ortiz said. “We brought a jacket just in case it was cold, but as of right now we’re soaking in what we can.” This is the first season for shore towns since the multi-million dollar beach replenishment project by the Army Corps of Engineers, and town officials are looking forward to a successful year.

Park:

Additionally, the scope of the work included lighting and electrical improvements, an irrigation system, and a security system. The 6.5-acre park had become run down, with cracked asphalt, dated and dangerous playground equipment, broken basketball hoops, dead spots in grassy areas, and more. The administration waited until nearby Parkway improvements were completed before beginning the park renovation. Precise Construction Inc. of Freehold won the bid to rebuild the park in the amount
of $1,613,668. CME Associates designed the park and are serving as consulting engineers on the project. “Besides Windward Beach, Traders Cove and the beaches, this is the largest park in our town,” said Mayor John G. Ducey during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “Thank you to all the residents of neighboring Parkway Pines community - this is your neighborhood park. You’ve waited for this project for many, many years and you’ve shown considerable patience before the construction was underway.” The renovated park is compliant and accessible in terms of the Americans With Disabilities Act, Ducey added. The mayor thanked Daisy Troop 61843 who planted a butterfly garden at the park, and he thanked the township staff who

worked on the project, including Township Engineer Elissa Com m i ns, Department of Public Works/ Parks Director Ken Mathis, Recreation Director Dan Santinello, and Jonathan Stanburger, a parks employee. The cost of the upgrades to Bernie Cooke Park was partly f u nded by a Green Acres Grant. According to township grant writer Tara Paxton, a $1 million grant was awarded to offset the cost of improvements to the completed Birchwood Park, Bernie Cooke Park and to upcoming renovations to Bayside Park. Bernie Cooke Park is the sixth township park to undergo renovations following the playgrounds at Windward Beach Park, Herbertsville Park (formerly Colorado Park), Lake Riviera Park, Angela Hibbard Park and Hank Waltonowski Park. “This project is part of my ongoing

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER “Hard Cap” On Taxes Is Nothing More Than A Name On July 3, 2010 Governor Christie reached a bipartisan consensus with Legislative leaders to provide long-awaited property tax relief for beleaguered New Jerseyans they called it a hard cap of 2 percent. Any waivers from this cap would have to be granted by a vote of the people, not the bureaucrats of a local board. An override referendum would have to be approved by a simple majority of the voters. What seemed to be the answer to New Jersey’s runaway real estate tax problem was short lived. This year Little Egg Harbor Township has increased its proposed 2019-20 budget of 6.9-cent per $100 of assessed value to $.742 exceeding the cap by 8 percent. One would think that such a hike in the tax rate a cap override referendum would apply, think again. What most taxpayers do not know is that the 2 percent hard cap is not so hard because the law allows for exemptions from the cap that could be used for debt service payments, pension payments, and increase in health insurance costs. And if all those exemp-
tions were not enough to keep any increase off the ballot lawmakers introduced another little known loophole called “banked cap.” This little but popular wrinkle in the law makes a mockery of the “hard cap.” If a municipal or school budget is increased by less than 2 percent in a previous year, officials can exceed the 2 percent by that amount in a subsequent year. Even the name “banked cap” may have been created to confuse property owners. The only thing that has been “banked” here is the ability to raise taxes above the 2 percent cap without asking voters to say “yes.” Hard cap, Soft cap or No cap, we have gone the full circle. Beware of politicians when they make campaign promises that state “With my strong work ethic my agenda would be to stabilize or lower taxes” or “My goal has been, and continues to be, consciousness of our tax rates in order to keep them stable and/or reduce them” Art Mooney Little Egg Harbor

Murphy Gutted Bill That Would Shed Light On Dark Money We know here in New Jersey that outsiders often think of us as having an attitude, and to an extent, there’s some truth to that. We have strong opinions and will defend them passionately if we disagree. Some of the stereotypes about our home are overblown, but we can agree all over Joisey when getting cawfee for yous guys, that ones about corruption hit a little too close to the mark for anyone’s liking. Why are we running our gover n ment like something out of the Sopranos? When it comes to our political process, there is too much untraceable money, and it is definitely getting in the way of having a government that works for the voters. Recently, a coalition of groups in the state, including Wolf-PAC and Represent.US, began working toward legislation that would shed some light on this dark money. The result was the unassumingly named S-1500, a detailed bill specifying campaign finance reform and transparency. This bill received strong popular support, leading to a passage in both chambers of the state legislature by a bipartisan majority, and there was not a single opposing vote in the Senate. Surely, this would be a new day for New Jersey politics, or at least the start of a new path. Ent e r Gove r nor Ph i l Mu r phy. D e s pit e h ig h hopes, after over a month of no action or comment, the Gover nor has, with lit tle fanfare but much commentary in his twenty page document, perfor med some “ext reme dentistry” on S-1500, effe ct ively re mov i ng it s teeth by way of conditional veto. One has to won-
Letters To The Editor der what the motivations self-interest, meaning po- to need immediate attenare behind dismantling common-sense legislation with such strong popular and bipartisan support. Governor Murphy makes a claim that the bill, as written, might get challenged in court and that there are some sources of dark money it does not address, but his solution is to weaken the bill, which is counterproductive. This is akin to shopping for a cake that serves 12, but only f inding cakes that serve 10, and since you don’t know if everybody will like the cake, you buy a pie that serves 8 instead, even though nobody asked for pie in the first place. We do know that there has been an ongoing spat between Governor Murphy and Senate President Sweeney. Senator Sweeney has suppor ted this bill, including a portion that would force disclosure of donors by groups such as New Direction New Je r sey, a 501(c) 4 t h at favor s a nd is r u n by Gover nor Mu r phy’s for mer campaign member, who is also a county freeholder. New Direction New Jersey had previously pledged to reveal who its donors were, but never came through. Perhaps of more interest, and more irksome to Governor Murphy, is the portion of the bill that bans elected off icials f rom involvement with independent expenditure committees. Freeholder Brendan Gill would be forced to choose between his elected office and remaining with New Di re ct ion New Je r sey, but would not be able to continue in both capacities. It would seem to be com mon sen se t hat a n elected of f icial should not be involved in such groups, but this part of the bill would be removed by Gover nor Mu r phy’s conditional veto. At best, this is political in-fighting. At worst, this is a personal favor for
litical corruption. Either way, we mu st de m a nd better of our government. We need to speak up, and we can make our voices heard through our Senators and Assemblypeople, by telling them to override Governor Murphy’s veto. This should not be about political parties, or taking sides within the r uling party. This is about preser ving and protecting the integrity of our government and the electoral process. Action has to happen! Call your representatives and demand an override of Governor Murphy’s conditional veto of S-1500. You can get more information on this, including help with contacting your representatives, by contacting Wolf-PAC NJ at newjersey@wolf-pac. com . Lucas Dicus Wolf-PAC New Jersey Phillipsburg
What Happened To The Gas Tax Money? I recently read testimony from Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd), to the House Transportation Committee, regarding the infrastructure in Ocean County. According to Congressman Kim, due to many years of neglect f rom Washington and increased use, the infrastructure system throughout the State of New Jersey faces massive challenges. The Congressman adds that in his district alone there are 44 structurally deficient bridges with another 155 in need of repair. In the article, Congressman Kim touches on several specific areas that appear
tion due to people’s lives being put in jeopardy. What the Congressman does not mention is the increase in gasoline tax that our previous and present governors imposed on all d r ivers within our state to go directly to infrastr uct ure repair. After these increases, any driver purchasing gasoline in the great State of New Jersey, has had to fork over almost an additional 30 cents per gallon, toward the gasoline tax. Since these tax increases went into effect, I have not heard a single word about any of that money being spent on any bridge or road repairs. (Lord knows the northern end of the Garden State Parkway could definitely use some pot hole repair) Given the number of vehicles on our congested roads, every single day of the week, I can only imagine the amount of monies taken in by our State, yet our roads and bridges continue to fall into disrepair. It’s great when you can point your finger and blame someone else for your issues, but how can you expect that someone to come in a clean your house if you don’t fi rst try to clean it yourself. If Congressman Kim is right in his description of the condition of the nearly 200 bridges in his district, why are we spending so much time, energy and money on such issues as the legalization of marijuana? One would think that the safety and well-being of the citizens of New Jersey would be a little more important than the cannabis issue. Hector Mejias Little Egg Harbor Editor’s note: The gasoline tax is currently 41.4 cents per gallon.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Remembering The 75th Anniversary Of The “Longest Day”
Freeholder Forum by Freeholder Jerry P. Little History remembers it as the Longest Day; D-Day, June 6, 1944. The beginning of the end for Hitler’s “1,000-Year Reich.” According to historian Cornelius Ryan, who wrote the first definitive account of the landings, one American general on the morning of the invasion predicted that people would be talking about this day “long after we are dead and buried.” He wasn’t far off. Seventy-five years after American, British and Canadian troops waded ashore on the coast of Nor-
mandy, we continue to honor the bravery of the men and women who took the first steps in repaving Liberty Road. The troops came ashore on five beaches - names that have gone down in history: Gold, Sword, Juno, Utah and Omaha. It was tough going at first, especially on Omaha where the American 1st and 49th Infantry divisions were penned in by heavily fortified Germans dug in on the hills surrounding the beach. The carnage and the bravery
of these troops is accurately portrayed in the opening moments of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan, which combat vets have told me is the most realistic combat scene ever recreated on the big screen. Just to the west was Utah Beach, where the American 4th Infantry Division came ashore. Among those troops was John Santillo, now of Brick Township. Last year Santillo was awarded the Legion of Honor by the French Government for his courage in liberating their nation. This year, thanks to an outstanding fundraising effort, Santillo is returning to France and the 75th D-Day Anniversary Commemoration. Another Ocean County resident arrived in France hours before the troops hit the beaches.
On D-Day, Lomell was among the rangers that scaled the cliffs overlooking the American landing beaches. Their objective was a battery of huge German cannons that could have targeted the invasion troops about to come ashore. Finding the bunkers that had housed the artillery empty, Lomell searched the countryside, found the huge guns and disabled them. Noted historian Stephen Ambrose said that aside from General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lomell was the single man most responsible for the success of the Normandy landings. For his bravery he was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Distinguished Service Cross and the Purple Heart. Lomell, 91, died on March 1, 2011.
Sgt. John Gutbrod, now of Surf City, was assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division, which landed in occupied France before dawn on June 6, 1944. These vanguard paratroopers fought a series of skirmishes overnight to protect the landing zones for the thousands of U.S. Soldiers that came ashore on the Longest Day. For his efforts, Gutbrod was also awarded the French Legion of Honor. These brave men are among only a handful of D-Day survivors living in Ocean County. We also remember the men and women who are no longer with us. Men like 2nd Lieutenant Bud Lomell of Toms River, whose daring exploits on the battlefields of France saved countless American lives.
As liaison to the Ocean County Veterans Service Bureau, I’m proud to say that Ocean County is home to more veterans than any other county in New Jersey. I’m also proud to say that Ocean County never forgets it veterans. From the skirmishes of the Revolutionary War, thru the battlefields of the Civil War, World War I and World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War and today’s ongoing War on Terror, we thank all of our brave men and women who have worn, and who continue to wear, the uniform of the United States Armed Services. Ocean County will mark the 75th Anniversary of D-Day with a special ceremony at the Ocean County Courthouse in Downtown Toms River at 12 noon on Thursday, June 6, 2019.
Small Business Advisory Council Created To Promote Growth in New Jersey From The Desk Of
Congressman Andy Kim WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) announced the formation of a Small Business Advisory Council for New Jersey’s Third Congressional District. “The work we do for small businesses in Congress doesn’t start in the committee room, it starts with the ideas and aspirations of small business owners throughout New Jersey,” said Congressman Kim. “I’m proud to announce the formation of this Advisory Council so we can bring those ideas back to Congress and deliver for our
small business owners. I want to thank our co-chairs and I look forward to working with them and the other members of this Council to deliver for New Jersey.” The Council will be cochaired by Kristi Howell from Burlington County and Jerry Thompson from Ocean County. The remainder of the council will consist of small business community leaders throughout the two counties and will meet on a quarterly basis to work together with Congressman Kim on solutions to empower businesses to grow and create jobs.
“It’s great to see a small business council established in Ocean and Burlington Counties,” said Thompson, Chair of the Southern Ocean Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee. “This council allows our small business owners to have a real voice in the policies that impact us every day. I look forward to working together with Congressman Kim to help New Jersey small businesses.” According to the Small Business Administration, more than 860,000 small businesses are based in New Jersey, employing 1.8 million people. These jobs constitute nearly half of the private-sector workforce in New Jersey. “I am honored to be asked by Congressman Kim to co-chair his small business advisory council,” said Howell, President and CEO

CRYOSURGERY FOR WARTS
“Cryosurgery” (freezing) is a common treatment for removing warts, which are infectious, noncancerous tumors caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). This treatment involves the use of a cryostat gun to deliver a dose of liquid nitrogen to the wart. Except for very small warts or those on the hands, more than one treatment is often required. Larger warts and plantar warts sometimes require many treatments. In general, the removal of warts via cryosurgery usually requires between one to six treatments in total, performed once every three to five weeks for several months. If there is no improvement with cryosurgery, other treatment options are available. If you would like more information about cryosurgery and its effects on your skin as well as the rest of your body, please feel free to give us a call. We’ll answer your questions, explain your options, and make sure you always play an active role in your treatment. Let us do what we do best—diagnose and treat your particular skin problems with compassion, knowledge, and up-to-date techniques and equipment. P.S. Plantar warts on the soles of the feet have a high recurrence rate but usually resolve with repeated treatments.

The Boomer Boys: June 22 at 5 p.m. Tickets: $22–$27 Meet The Boomer Boys! In this hilarious musical revue, a fun-loving “fat pack” of middle age men realize that the best way to deal with getting older is to laugh about it with your friends. That’s exactly what these guys do as they navigate everything from the depths of expanding waistlines to the heights of Viagra. Ladies, now is your chance to find out what men are really thinking as this hilarious evening of songs covers everything from snoring and hair loss to weight gain and lost car keys. If a hysterical night of songs, jokes and stories is on your to-do list, spend a night with The Boomer Boys! Basement Musicians: A Walk Down Memory Lane: June 29 at 8 p.m. Tickets: $25. The Basement Musicians are lead singer Tony Pileggi and a group of central and southern NJ family men, including Joe Stamboni on lead guitar and Bill Doerge on base guitar and upright bass. They perform the best of the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s classic rock, country, and folk music. They perform the music of great artists like Neil Diamond, The Monkees,
Gordon Lightfoot, Bee Gees, Roy Orbison, Elvis, Beatles, Jim Croce, John Denver, Johnny Cash, Everly Brothers, and many more. The Basement Musicians play the music they love and do it very well.

The OCC Repertory Theatre Company takes the stage for their summer musical with an epic fairytale about wishes, family, and the choices we make. “Into the Woods” tells the story of a baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Directed by Paul Chalakani.

A sound void is most commonly defined as a moment lacking clarity in hearing or understanding; an empty space in one’s life caused by the absence of sound clarity. Sound voids usually occur in specific listening situations where an individual’s hearing loss does not permit them to detect or understand important sounds and speech cues. Individuals often find that sound voids result in tiring, frustrating and embarrassing situations. However you experience them – whether they happen during precious moments with your loved ones, critical conversations in the work place or in common everyday interactions – sound voids can detract from your ability to live your life to its fullest.
Do you often hear people talking but simply have difficulty understanding them? Do you sometimes struggle to hear clearly in background noise? Do you occasionally have trouble following the conversation in small groups? Do you find it challenging to explain your hearing situation to others? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be experiencing the perception of “sound void”. The term sound void was created to help explain the gaps that some say that they experience in their day-to-day listening lives. If this sounds like you or someone you love, you should consider contacting your hearing health care professional today.

5 Mind-blowing Reasons You Should Take Selenium
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. The Greek word “selene” means moon, and that’s where the trace mineral selenium gets its name. The most interesting part of selenium is that it’s sometimes used in dyes and paints to color things red. Plants growing on Earth take up selenium into their roots. They get it from the soil and then it’s put into the food chain, and we obtain it through diet. Selenomethionine is a high-quality form of selenium that is also the main form of selenium occurring in Brazil nuts, cereal grains and soybeans. Why would anyone want more selenium? The main reason would be selenium’s powerful antioxidant properties. It helps neutralize free radicals by making two special detoxification enzymes: Catalase and Glutathione. Both of those enzymes are major players in terms of detoxification. You’d die within minutes without them. But there are 5 other mind-blowing reasons you should consider selenium: Selenium helps with breast cancer. Aside from selenium being a strong antioxidant which is useful in cancer situation, there is new research published in the journal, Nutrients (May 2019). Apparently, selenium is capable of alleviating lymphedema, commonly associated with breast cancer. Lymphedema simply refers to the swelling that occurs in the arms and legs. Seventy-five percent of participants showed lymphedema improvement in just two weeks. Selenium helps with the brain. The ability to neutralize oxidants which attack the brain helps reduce your personal risk of cognitive decline. Several selenium-derived proteins termed “selenoproteins” are expressed in
brain. We also know that both detoxification enzymes, glutathione and catalase, are present in glial cells. Glial cells feed and protect nerve cells. Selenium is needed to keep those glial cells healthy. Selenium helps control hemochromatosis. A genetic condition, overload of iron (hemochromatosis) is sometimes misdiagnosed and inadequately treated. Iron concentrations were slightly higher (up to 2 and a half times higher) in selenium deficient rodents. The “Transferrin Saturation” with iron was almost twice as high in selenium deficient rodents, compared to those with normal levels of selenium. Selenium helps make thyroid hormone. Selenium has been shown in several clinical trials over the past few decades to slow the progression of, and reduce symptoms of thyroid illness. It’s needed for the enzymes that convert inactive thyroxine T4 to biologically active T3 and it’s needed to reduce TPO antibodies. Also, selenium might help with Graves’ eye problems, termed orbitopathy. Selenium for PCOS. Selenium has insulin-like properties which means it can help with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS. A new article published in the journal, Molecules (April 2019) suggests it may help with insulin resistance. There’s a definite correlation between low selenium leading to hypothyroidism, then leading to PCOS. Labs don’t usually pick this disorder up. Please grab a copy of my best-seller, Thyroid Healthy to learn more about thyroid conditions. And if you’d like more information on selenium, PCOS or dosing information, just sign up for my free newsletter at suzycohen.com and I’ll send you the longer version of this article next week.

Inside The Law
Consumer Rights And Data Breach: Protecting Yourself From Identify Theft
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
The recent data breach by Equifax meant that sensitive personal information for 145 million Americans was potentially exposed, including Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses and, in some instances, driver’s license numbers. This incident has left many consumers wondering how they can protect themselves from identify theft. Monitor your Account Check your financial account transactions regularly. Opt-in for alerts that screen for questionable transactions and opt-in for multifactor authentication. Look for charges that you don’t recognize, even if they were for small amounts. Sometimes scoundrels test the waters with small charges. Be aware of communications claiming to be from credit reporting agency or financial institution. Review Credit Reports By law, all consumers are entitled to a free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). You can request a free credit report from annualcreditreport.com, by phone or mail. Any site other than annualcreditreport. com is not part of the legally mandated free annual credit report program. Make sure you spell the annualcreditreport.com
domain name correctMichael J. Deem ly and avoid look-alike scam sites. Place a Freeze A credit freeze prevents new creditors from accessing your credit file and others from opening accounts in your name. A freeze could stop identity thieves because most (but not all) businesses will not open credit accounts without checking your credit report. A credit freeze does not prevent identity thieves from taking-over your existing account. Set a fraud alert! A fraud alert requires creditors who check your credit report to take steps to verify your identity before opening a new account, issuing additional card or increasing your credit limit on an existing account. A fraud alert is free. You can place an initial alert on your account for 90 days if you have not been a victim of identity theft. The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle most consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. A contingency means if there is no recovery, there is no fee. Call us for a free consultation: 732-505-1212.

We are pleased to welcome Trader Joe’s, which will be opening in Brick Plaza this fall and also the privately owned Superdome Sports Facility, which is coming to the old Foodtown site. Innovative ideas like the Storefront Revitalization Program and the Buy in Brick Program are continuing to benefit both the local businesses and the taxpayers.” Republican Club President John Catalano directed all press inquiries to Republican campaign chairman Al Cartine, who issued the following statement after getting input from the candidates: “Our team has concluded that they do not want to telegraph their message to our opposition at this time. We will introduce our platform and issues which concern our constituents during our cam-

Beach:
Continued From Page 1 In Seaside Heights, the most noticeable change are the dunes separating the boardwalk from the beach. Sprigs of dune grass sprout up neatly in rows, and they will grow into larger plants over the coming months. The experience for visitors won’t change much, said Christopher Vaz, the borough administrator. The boardwalk, shops, hotels, and beach are ready to go. It’s really more a change for the town itself. “In past years, you could see the beach from the boardwalk,” he said. Now, the dunes are higher. So security will have to be physically on the beach to make up for that. Surveillance cameras will also be installed on the beach patrol buildings that will provide a view of some of the beaches and boardwalk, but they won’t be coming until the end of June. “For us, it’s an entirely new operation,” Vaz said. Staff will have to clean litter that blows onto the dunes without stepping on dune grass. They have to roll up the handicap access mats at the end of the day. It amounts to a little more maintenance to keep the new things nice. “It’s been a long winter for us,” he said. “I know business owners are excited.” Toms River township engineer Robert Chankalian said everything is ready for this season on the town’s small strip of beach. Year-round residents watched the replenishment project over the long months, and soon tourists and summer residents will see it, too. The access to the beach has changed as well, as they too have installed Mobi-mats that help people access the beach on foot or in wheelchairs, he said. Every township road on the island has been paved, he said. “New roads, new beach, new everything,” he said. “There’s a noticeable difference,” said Debbi Winogracki, recreation director for Berkeley. The Army Corps provided a lot of extra protection, and visitors should be able to see it when they arrive. There’s an elite group of lifeguards ready to start the season in their new booth, she said. Beach badge prices are the same as last year. “We’re excited for a new season,” Mayor Carmen Amato said. The public ocean beaches in Berkeley are along 20th to 23rd avenues on the South Seaside Park section of town, north of Island Beach State Park. All beaches on Long Beach Island are public, an official said. In Long Beach Township, there haven’t been any active beach replenishment projects this year, a township official said. Additionally, the entrances to the beach, and the boardwalks are the same. Events for the area can be found at longbeachtownship.com/departments/recreation/. Smoking Ban This is the first year that beachgoers won’t be allowed to smoke on beaches and parks. The law went into effect in January. “Cigarette butts are one of the major sources of litter, and our beaches and parks will now look less unsightly. Some communities like Atlantic City will set aside a small smoking area, but otherwise our beaches will be completely
smoke free,” said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “Visitors will be able to sit outside without breathing in second-hand smoke. They can walk on the sand without stepping on cigarette butts. We will also be safer. A recklessly discarded cigarette can start fires, igniting picnic tables or boardwalks. The Sierra Club proposed this smoking ban 10 years ago. Gov. Christie vetoed the bill multiple times but we kept fighting until Gov. Murphy signed it into law. Now we won’t have to deal with second-hand smoke while trying to enjoy a day outside.” He explained in a press release that cigarettes can also be ingested by animals or even children. Additionally, they break down, leading to the spread of nicotine, pesticides and even plastic in the environment. According to the World Health Organization, 90 percent of cigarettes have plastic in their filters, and two-thirds of them are dumped irresponsibly, where they wind up in the oceans via wind and storm drains. Beach Closures The State Department of Environmental Protection has a web site that will inform bathers of potential closures due to high bacteria counts. The DEP’s Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program has created njbeaches.org, an interactive website where people can see the status of their favorite beaches. There’s a map of the state, with little circles where the water is being monitored on the east coast from Monmouth to Cape May counties. The circles are color-coded to denote if the beach is open, closed, or if there’s an advisory. If you zoom in on the map, you can click on the beach and find out what the bacteria count was. Although the DEP said that there are 180 ocean and 35 bay monitoring stations along the coast, there are also some more inland. There are several along the Toms River, such as in Ocean Gate, Pine Beach, and Beachwood. There’s one on the Brick side of the Metedeconk River. There are two on the Point Pleasant side of the Manasquan River. There’s one at the L Street beach in Belmar, on the Shark River. The rest are on the ocean or bay from Keansburg to Cape May Point. The site monitors the presence of a certain bacteria found in human and animal waste. It’s not harmful by itself, but it denotes the presence of waste in the water. Tests are done on Monday, and problem areas are retested until they are clean. They are done on Monday, officials said, because of the influx of visitors on weekends. The visitors increase the strain on the sewer systems, which is one of the ways that the bacteria wind up in the water. Generally speaking, bay beaches close more frequently than ocean beaches, he said. Ocean beaches have more tidal flow, which washes out anything harmful. The DEP also promoted these tips for safe swimming: • Swim near a lifeguard. • Never swim alone. • If you are caught in a rip current, remember to swim parallel to the shore. • Avoid sandbars, drop-off areas, or fast currents. • Be aware of your surroundings. • Protect yourself from the sun. There were no closings listed when this article was written.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 1 - june 7
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Find where you belong and connect with your tribe. You can make friends in the week ahead who will support your business ambitions or share your various interests. Networking can help you achieve your goals. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may be challenged by destabilizing influences in the week ahead. Every change of plan or unexpected event requires you to put on your thinking cap, but with the right attitude you can take it all in stride. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your own priorities may be at odds with what your romantic partner wants and needs. In the week ahead you may need to perform a balancing act to avoid the appearance of a lack of consideration that could undermine your relationship. CANCER (June 21-July 22): The wrong words can be impossible to un-say. When someone suffers from foot in-the-mouth disease the awkwardness can disrupt communications for some time. Make an effort to be honest but diplomatic in the upcoming week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Give an inch to gain a mile. You may experience challenges when engaged in one-on-one negotiations in the week ahead if you are unbending. At the workplace don’t take someone’s deceptions personally; it reflects on them, not you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dig in your heels and use your ambitions to make your way forward. This could be a good week to begin a new diet or start newer and better habits because you can harness your willpower and exercise powerful self-discipline.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may find yourself caught between a rock and a hard place at some point in the week ahead. Your generosity and fairness can counteract pressure and any attempts at coercion. You may feel resistant to new techniques or ideas. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be as steady as a rock and you will rock it. People know they can rely upon you to be responsible, thoughtful and ethical. You can be counted upon to offer a level-headed approach when others experience a crisis. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Pollyanna looked for something good in everything and because she looked, she found it, so can you. Even if there are good reasons, think carefully before parting with your hard-earned cash in the week ahead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Leave a legacy. You can build something substantial with your hard work and dedication. In the week to come you might be more concerned with realizing your ambitions rather than making others feel loved. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make an assessment of your budget before you make purchases, so you don’t waste your resources in the week ahead. Gather advice from an expert who can guide you on subjects such as living more sustainably. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Count your blessings daily, and before you count out dollars to spend. You may have some costly desires in the week ahead, but it’s really all about attitude. Ben Franklin said, “Contentment makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor.”

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Make A Big, Fresh Impression As You Kick Off Summer Grilling Season By Wolfgang Puck MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE GRILLED WHOLE RED SNAPPER WITH FENNEL AND PERNOD BUTTER SAUCE Serves 4 to 6 For the fish: 1 whole fresh red snapper or other firm-fleshed mild white fish such as branzino or sea bass, about 3 pounds (1.5 kg), gills, guts and scales removed Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 fennel bulbs, trimmed, fronds reserved, bulbs cut into slices 1/4-inch (6-mm) thick 6 sprigs fresh thyme 2 sprigs fresh oregano 1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil For the Pernod butter sauce: 1/4 cup (60 mL) water 1 lemon, juiced 1 tablespoon Pernod 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces Tender inner fronds from 1 fennel bulb (see above), finely chopped Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Build a hot fire in an outdoor charcoal grill, or preheat a gas grill on high. Meanwhile, rinse the snapper inside and out with cold running water. Pat thoroughly dry inside and out with paper towels. With kitchen shears, cut off any large fins. Season the cavity
with salt and pepper. Stuff the fronds from 1 fennel bulb into the cavity. Add the thyme and oregano, and press the cavity closed. With a sharp knife, cut three equally spaced diagonal slashes through the skin and down to the bone in the flesh on each side of the fish. Insert one lemon slice into each slit. Brush the fish all over with olive oil and season the outside with salt and pepper. With a grill brush, scrub the grill’s cooking grid. Quickly and carefully brush the surface of the hot grid with olive oil. Place the stuffed fish diagonally across the preheated grid and cook for about 10 minutes; then, carefully slide two sturdy grill spatulas under the fish and rotate it 90 degrees, sliding out the spatulas and leaving the fish to cook on the same side until the flesh is firm but still moist, about 5 minutes longer. Carefully use the spatulas to turn the fish over and cook on the other side for at least 10 minutes, until the flesh looks opaque and lifts easily from the bone but is still moist. As soon as the fish starts cooking, place the fennel slices on a large platter, drizzle with olive oil, and turn to coat evenly. When you turn the fish over, arrange the slices on the grill and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and keep warm. For the sauce, place a small saucepan on the grill or on a stove burner over medium heat. Add the water, and bring to a simmer. Add the lemon juice and Pernod, and cook until reduced by about a third. Remove the pan from the heat, and whisk in the butter a few pieces at a time until fully incorporated; then, whisk in the chopped fennel fronds. Season to taste with salt and pepper. With the metal spatulas, carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a large serving platter. To serve, starting at the slits cut in the flesh before cooking, use a spatula to lift portions of the fillet from the bone, transferring to individual serving plates. Arrange grilled fennel slices around the fish and spoon some sauce over each portion.
