–Photos by Chris Lundy Survivors took a lap around the course together and ended at the yellow brick road. By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – Cancer doesn’t sleep, and neither did they. For the eleventh time, the Berkeley-Lacey Relay For Life filled Veterans Park with hope and camaraderie as the overnight event raised money for the American Cancer Society. “This is a time for hope and healing,” said Roxa n ne Stephens,
event lead. The relay is the signature fundraiser for the organization, she said. Over the 11 years that this par ticular relay has been held, the money raised has gone to such things as patient care, treatment plans, and equipment. “Every penny raised goes to a good cause
and is well spent,” she said. On Saturday afternoon, it was warm out with a steady wind. The first lap, after an opening ceremony, was for survivors. According to the American Cancer Society, a survivor is
someone who is told “You have cancer.” Caregivers also took a lap around the course. “Ca reg iver s a re the unsung heroes,” Stephens said. They are the ones who are keeping doctors’ (Hope - See Page 5)
Film Fest Closes On 11th Season
By Kimberly Bosco SHIP BOTTOM – The Lighthouse International Film Festival concluded its 11th season of film and fun with its annual celebration and awards cere-
mony, held at Joe Pop’s Shore Bar & Restaurant in Ship Bottom on June 9, 2019. Just like every other year, members of the LIFF Society and film-goers alike came to-
gether to celebrate the success of another great season by naming the top films and filmmakers. Attendees enjoyed drinks, a taco bar, and baklava (Film Fest - See Page 4)
By Kimberly Bosco LAKEWOOD - Whether you were leaving from a game at the Lakewood BlueClaws or just passing through, you might have caught a glimpse of the rainbow of people lining the corner of New Hampshire and Cedar Bridge Ave. More than one hundred supporters of the LGBTQ community came out in full force opposing a protest coordinated against local Pride Month celebrations, spearheaded by Lakewood’s Rabbi Yesuda Levin. The protests were on June 6, although the Pride Night held at the stadium was actually on June 8. The rabbi organized the rally on Thursday because Saturday was a holy day. Cars honked in solidarity and cheered through open windows at the high-spirited crowd as they rounded the corner. Supporters decked out in rainbow colors and creative headgear held up signs with messages of pride, facing off against Levin and his supporters on the opposing corner. The Pride side dwarfed Levin’s Pride month protest by a landslide. The celebration/protest was accentuated by the flashing of red and blue lights as Lakewood Police Officers directed traffic and kept order at the intersection. The leader of the anti-pride sentiment in the protest was Rabbi Levin, a staunchly conservative rabbi who has been preaching anti-gay and anti-abortion beliefs for many years, even (Pride - See Page 8)

Film Fest:
Continued From Page 1 as they mingled, discussing their favorite films, shorts, and documentaries featured this season. The films focused on a wide array of topics, from the Huckleberry Finn-like adventure of a man with Down syndrome to the real life story of the vaquita, the world’s smallest whale, to a portrait film on pollution in Brooklyn. These stories are told in countless different ways, whether it is in a feature-length film or documentary, capturing glimpses of life at all kinds of angles. Some films were directed by lesser known filmmakers, and some by Oscar-winners such as Guy Nattiv. Nattiv’s short film “Skin” won the 2019 Oscar in the Short Film category and was screened as the opening film during the festival. As the celebration winded down, the winners were announced. In the Documentary category: • Best Documentary: “Cold Case Hammarskjold” directed by Mads Brugger • Social Awareness Award: “Sea of Shadows” directed by Richard Ladkani and Sean Bogle • Special Mention: “Dons of Disco” directed by Jonathan Sutak In the Short Film category: • Best Short: “Drip” directed by Jillian Cantwell • Best Short Documentary: For A Better Life” directed by Yasmin Mistry • Social Awareness Award: “Extremophiles” directed by Leah Shore • Special Mention: “Baggage” directed by Stacey Maltin In the Narrative Features category: • Best Film: “One Man Dies A Million Times” directed by Jessica Oreck • Social Awareness Award: “One Man Dies A Million Times” directed by Jessica Oreck • Special Mention: “Two Times You” directed by Salomon Askenazi Audience Awards include:
• Short Film: “Coffee and a Donut” directed by Cary Patrick Martin • Documentaries: “Sea of Shadows” directed by Richard Ladkani and Sean Bogle; “For Sama” directed by Waad Al-Kateab and Edward Watts • Narrative Film: “A War Within” directed by Kasper Tortsing The LIFF also presented the Jennifer Snyder Bryceland Filmmaker Award to “Kifaur” directed by David Hembridge. This award honors one filmmaker with a $2,500 special prize for a work that displays “artistic excellence, incorporates environmental and social themes and inspires optimism in audiences.” In a welcome letter to festival attendees, LIFF Executive Director Amir Bogen wrote: “From our opening film Skin, by Oscar winner Guy Nattiv, to our closing film, the fascinating Netflix documentary, American Factory, by Julia Reichart and Steven Bognar, we have outdone ourselves, yet again, in selecting and programming some of the best films out there, today. Many of our films have screened at the biggest festivals in the world – Toronto, Sundance, SXSW, and Cannes – while others are hidden gems that we have had the pleasure of discovering for our awaiting audiences.” This was Bogen’s first year acting as executive director. In 2018, he acted as deputy executive director. A LIFF volunteer at the end-of-season celebration noted that she thought this year had a great turnout. While she was sad she did not get a chance to see the films for herself – as a busy volunteer schedule dictated – she got the sense that viewers were really happy with the 2019 films. The festival was comprised of 5 Spotlight Films, 7 Narrative Feature Films, 6 Documentary Films, nearly 80 Short Films, 11 Episodic Films, 6 Long Shorts, and 4 Surf Films. Winning films were chosen by the LIFF Jury, made up of a series of experienced and seasoned writers, directors, producers, and even film teachers.

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
WASHINGTON, D.C.–- Congressmen Jeff Van Drew (D-2nd) and Mike Kelly (PA-16) introduced the Commercial, Low Emissions and Net Energy Reduction (CLEANER) Buildings Act of 2019 which would extend the tax deduction for energy efficient commercial buildings. If this vital incentive is renewed, the deduction, also known as “179D” for its place in the tax code, could
Bill Would Continue Tax Deduction For Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings
generate thousands of new design and construction jobs and contribute millions to the gross domestic product. This policy pays for itself in energy savings, jobs, and economic benefits. “Energy efficiency not only saves businesses and consumers money, but it also reduces pollution by cutting energy use,” said Congressman Jeff Van Drew. “In the United States, commercial
buildings account for onefifth of the energy consumption and it’s time to work together in a bipartisan way to create jobs, lower energy costs, and reduce pollution. It is win, win, win.” “There are simple things we can do to encourage good stewardship of our natural resources and safeguard the environment,” said Rep. Mike Kelly. “One way we can do that is by incentivizing
the private sector to renovate and upgrade buildings to be more energy efficient. By extending the tax deduction for energy efficient commercial buildings, we can help the environment by conserving energy while creating jobs in the construction industry. The CLEANER Buildings Act is a win-win for American workers and the hometowns they live in.” Jason Hartke, CEO, Alli-
ance to Save Energy says, “This is a key tax incentive for encouraging energy efficiency in commercial buildings, which account for about 20 percent of U.S. energy consumption. It is important that Congress extend this incentive to give building owners and designers the certainty they need to make these investments.” Section 179D of the tax code offers a tax deduction
to building owners and businesses for energy efficiency improvements such as lighting, heating and cooling, hot water systems, ventilation, or the building envelope like insulation or windows. It offers incentives for upgrades at new or existing buildings that cut the total energy and power cost by at least 50 percent compared to a building meeting the ASHRAE codes baseline for energy efficiency.
Bill Would Help More Americans Save For Retirement
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. House voted to pass a bill co-sponsored by Cong ressma n A ndy Kim (D-3rd) which makes it easier for Americans to save for retirement. “Ever y American deserves the peace of mind of a secure retirement, and
this bill is an important step forward towards ensuring that for millions,” said Congressman Kim. “I’m proud to stand with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to pass this legislation, and I’ll cont i nue to work w it h people from both parties to
strengthen retirement benefits for all Americans.” H.R. 1994, the SECURE Act, is a bipartisan bill that makes it easier for Americans to save for retirement by empowering small businesses to offer retirement plans to employees, helping provide retirement benefits
to home care workers and allowing part-time workers to participate in a 401(k) plan. “This bill is a win-win for our small businesses and the millions they employ in our country,” said Kristi Howell, President and CEO of the Bur-
lington County Regional Chamber of Com merce and Co-Chair of Congressman Kim’s Small Business Advisor y Council. “Small business owners work every day to make payroll and invest in their businesses. This bill will make it more affordable
for small business owners to set up retirement plans and help set up thousands of retirement plans.” The bill also provides tax relief to Gold Star families who saw tax rates rise due to provisions in the tax bill passed during the previous Congress.
Bill Would Fund Nature-Based Shoreline Protection
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker joined six other colleagues in introducing the Living Shorelines Act, a piece of legislation that would create a new grant program for nature-based shoreline protection projects known as living shorelines. As sea-level rise and coastal storms continue to threaten thousands of coastal communities and economies, investing in living shorelines can help reduce risk from floods and storms and increase the resiliency of our coasts. Living shorelines are a type of green infrastructure that protect and stabilize coastal edges by using natural materials such as plants, sand, shell, or rock. Unlike a concrete seawall or other artificial structure, which impedes the growth of plants and ani-
mals, living shorelines can grow over time, allowing them to adapt to changing conditions. Using green and natural infrastructure, communities can create a buffer that mitigates the impacts of shoreline flooding by reducing wave energy and decreasing erosion. Green infrastructure is cost-effective and can also provide benefits such as improved local water quality and ecology. “As climate change continues to threaten our environment, we must ensure that our shore communities are prepared in the face of potentially devastating storms that hit our region,” said Sen. Menendez. “After Superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc on our state, I fought hard for federal funding to make our communities stronger and more resilient. This bill will continue aiding New Jersey’s shore
towns in helping protect our families, environment and economy.” “New Jersey communities are increasingly threatened by the effects of sea level r ise a nd ext reme weather events caused by climate change,” said Sen. Booker. “As we saw in the after math of Hur ricane Sandy, investments in natural infrastructure, such as living shorelines, can mitigate flooding, improve public safety, and provide a significant return on investment.” The Living Shorelines Act will: • Establish a grant program to help states, towns, a n d NG O s i m ple m e n t climate resilient living shoreline projects and encourage the use of natural materials in the protection of coastal communities; • Direct NOAA to develop criteria to select grantees
based on the potential of the project to protect the community, and the ecological benefits of the project, among other things; • Prioritize areas that have received a Stafford Act disaster declaration or areas that have a documented history of coastal inundation or erosion; and
• Authorize $50 million a year for these grants. Senators Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Richard Blu menthal (D - Con n.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), and Jef f Me rk ley ( D - O re.) a r e a l so c os p on sor i ng the legislation. Congress-
man Fran k Pallone, Jr. (D -N.J.- 06) int roduced companion legislation in the House. Supporters of the Living Shorelines Act include The National Wildlife Federation, the Nature Conservancy, and the American Society of Landscape Architects.

Pride:
Continued From Page 1 during his candidacy for New York City mayor in 1985. In the days leading up to the protest, videos of Levin condemning Pride celebrations, calling them an “abomination” and a “homosexualization” of the community, were shared repeatedly over social media. In a first video, which was shared on the First Amendment Activist Facebook page, Levin targets the Ocean County Library’s various Pride-themed events. Various branches of the Ocean County Library take part in Pride by highlighting books, speakers, movies, and more that focus on LGBTQ themes, promoting tolerance and understanding. In the video, Levin preaches “keep your hands off the minds of our children,” calling those at the Lakewood BlueClaws stadium “lowlife scum” for hosting a gay pride event. A second video followed in which Levin proceeded to denounce the BlueClaws celebration and urged people to come out to the protest. Levin stated that these Pride celebrations were contributed to the “ho-
mosexualization” of a community “whose community standards and values are traditional and biblical.” Levin goes on to cite “Pride” celebrations as a “threat to Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike.” The BlueClaws’ Pride celebration includes a BlueClaws Pride Night Hat Giveaway for the first 1,500 fans and fireworks following the game, according to their website. LGBTQ supporters who came out to the protest made it clear that Levin’s sentiments were not universal. Some toted signs with Pride-themed messages such as “I support my LGBTQ friends” and “What’s so bad about a little pride?” Others made signs with more pointed messages for Levin like “Religion is no cause for hate,” “Homophobia is not tolerated in Ocean County,” and “Free hugs for non-bigoted bastards.” All the while, the crowd carried on chants of “Pride Doesn’t Die,” “U.S. of Gay,” and “Love Not Hate.” Many of these supporters made the decision to come out to the protest after seeing Levin’s f lyer, which quickly made the rounds on social media prompting members of the community to join the fight against Pride, at the BlueClaws Stadium on June 6.
The flyer states: “This abomination must stop!!!…This abomination celebration will victimize young innocent children. No other FAMILY FRIENDLY towns in Ocean County have such outrages (sic) events which are antithetical to our religious sensitivities. Our children are already bombarded in schools/media/entertainment with terrible anti-family brainwashing. Gay Pride events at family venues like sporting events, bowling alleys, malls, shopping centers or even Ocean County College. Do not sexualize kids at public events!!” A former Lakewood resident of 30 years, Janet came out to the protest in support of her LGBTQ son. “It’s my turn to start getting out there…It was his [Levin’s] viral things that literally made me sick,” she said. “He was spouting evil.” Janet made a sign specifically for Levin that read: “You are acting like Hitler, with hate in your heart towards others. May God forgive you in your ignorance!” Sporting homemade t-shirts with the slogans “Exceptional Bisexual” and “Born This Gay” on them, Kristyn Holleran and Nicole Spano of Toms River were happy to see such a sizeable turnout in favor of Pride. “I saw the flyer on Facebook…and I didn’t love it,” said Holleran. “It’s a blue state but
it’s kind of a red county so I didn’t expect to see this much support.” Holleran joked that last year was known by many in the LGBTQ community as 20-“gay-teen” (2018), making this year 20-“Bi-teen” (2019). On the opposing corner sat Levin and his supporters, a crowd only a fraction of the size of the Pride side. Members of the Jewish faith, with megaphone in hand, stated: “There is no pride in sin. America teaches you that you can do what you want and get away with it, but guess what? There is a God in this world.” These protesters toted signs preaching “self-control” and “holiness” as America’s principles. Despite the videos and flyers, BlueClaws Pride went on as planned, with a match against Greensboro. “The BlueClaws consider themselves an open and inclusive organization and member of the community,” said BlueClaws Team President Joe Ricciutti. “We want to show the LGBT community that they are welcome at BlueClaws games, and always will be welcome at BlueClaws games.” Even Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer condemned the protest, citing the “Love Thy Neighbor” campaign, claiming there is “no place for hate in Ocean County.”

There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearing Americans who cannot rely on traditional sound-oriented smoke detectors and therefore, are at a disadvantage. Decreased hearing can limit a person’s ability to take quick action and escape during a fire emergency. Those with hearing loss need to take extra precautions to protect themselves from the hazards of home fire. This includes being aware of the availability of f lashing and/or vibrating smoke alarms and having an effective escape plan in place. Have the proper alerting system. Smoke detectors are not doing their job if you cannot hear them. Consider the following statistics: 20 percent of home fires occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., yet these fires account for more than half of all home fire deaths. Something to keep in mind: most smoke detectors produce a relatively high frequency (3000 kHz) sound. Recent studies have revealed that this frequency is not particularly effective in waking up children, heavy sleepers, those taking sleeping pills or other medication and those who have had too much to drin k. In addition, high frequency alarms are almost completely ineffective in alerting people with high frequency hearing loss, accounting for about 90 percent of people with hearing loss and all deaf people. Install a f lashing or vibrating smoke alarm on every level of your home. Test all
smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. People with hear ing loss are at greater risk from night time f ires because their hearing instr uments are typically out of their ears when sleeping. Not all alerting devices meet every need but some do come close. The ideal device would not only sound an alarm but also f lash a light and vibrate the bed. This would alert the three most important senses simultaneously. There are a great number of smoke detectors designed specifically for those with a hearing impairment. Light-tone HL bedside fire alarm and clock alerts you by sounding a loud low frequency and vibrating the bed. The combination of the low frequency alarm sounding and the bed shaking wakes even heavy sleepers. Silent call makes great aler ting systems that work with more than just smoke detectors. Plan you escape: An important tip is not to isolate yourself. Inform family members, the building manager or a neighbor of your fire safety plan and practice it with them. Contact you local fire department on a non-emergency phone number and explain your special needs. They can help with your escape plan, perform a home inspection and offer suggestions about smoke alar m placement. They can also keep your information on file. For more infor mation about f ire safety, visit www.usfa.fema.gov.

H ere ’ s T o Y our H ealth Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Your Medication May Deplete Life-Giving Hormones By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
DHEA is dubbed the “Fountain of Youth” hormone, and it is produced in high quantities during your younger years. After age 30, it slowly begins to decline. It may eventually flat-line, especially if you are under a lot of stress, or you take a popular medication category called a “statin” which is for cholesterol management. DHEA stands for dehydroepiandrosterone and it’s a naturally-made steroid. There are synthetic versions available for supplementation, however I don’t recommend you do that without first speaking to a bio-identical hormone expert. It is what’s known as an “androgen” hormone, think of that as a manly hormone, so it can cause male-pattern hair growth. In women this can be very unsettling, think of facial hair, and loss of scalp hair, or deepening of the voice, acne, missed periods and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). Much of the research is done on higher levels (ie how to reduce elevated DHEA). A glaring omission is low DHEA due to medication use. There are several medications that can deplete levels of DHEA, thus aging you faster. One such category is statin cholesterol medications. If you take a statin, you should definitely speak to your physician about restoring your DHEA, either through supplementation or prescription hormones. Taking statins can deplete DHEA, it’s what I call the ‘drug mugging’ effect, where a drug mugs a nutrient or essential life-giving hormone. With statin use, you become
deficient in DHEA. There are studies to show this. Low DHEA can cause a lot of damage in the body because it is a precursor to your sex hormones. Therefore, low DHEA means low testosterone and low estrogen. DHEA is what turns into those hormones. If you’re a man and run out of testosterone, it’s likely because you have run low on DHEA (the precursor). Low testosterone causes you to feel weak, tired, apathetic, uninterested. It causes a loss in bone mass, meaning higher risk of fractures and broken bones if you trip! The medical term for men is andropause and menopause for women. Also, you may gain some belly weight, and lose muscle mass. Again, this happens to both men and women actually, just look at a picture of yourself at 35 and a picture at 55 and you’ll see the difference. DHEA forms estrogen, so a post-menopausal woman (who would have reduced estrogen) may experience hot flashes, anxiety, weight gain, sadness, depression, fatigue and lack of motivation. Low DHEA might be the result of your medication, and restoring it would be easy, so long as you go slow and start with low doses. Remember, DHEA is sold overthe-counter. Taking it is solely up to you, and your practitioners. The dose is not one-size fits all. If you accidentally take too much DHEA, it could increase risk of hormone-driven cancers and may exacerbate psychiatric problems (mania) so I’m not able to advise you on how much DHEA to take, what form or what type.

Around The Jersey Shore Flight Rally Bringing Local Kids To New Heights
–Photo courtesy EAA By Kimberly Bosco WALL – Monmouth County saw 39 new young aviators take their first f light during the Young Eagles Flight Rally over the weekend. Hosted by Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 315 of the North Jersey Shore, 39 boys and girls from 8 to 17 years old got to take a unique airplane ride at the event, held on June 8 at Monmouth Jet Center. Created in 1992, the EAA Young Eagles Program is intended to incite interest in aviation among youth. In the past 27 years, EAA pilots have taken over 2 million kids, from over 90 countries, on flights. Since 2004, Chapter 315 has flown more than 640 kids at local airports in Monmouth, Lakewood, and Old Bridge. The annual event is free to participants. The pilots volunteer their time to take participants on a f light and teach them all they want to know about the air-
planes. The young aviation enthusiasts learned what makes an airplane fly, what it takes to get a pilot’s license, and what career possibilities exist in the world of aviation. They even got a chance to see a WWII L-2 spotter airplane, educational displays from the New Jersey Aviation Education Council, and more. After the f light, each participant received a logbook and a certificate making him or her an official Young Eagle. Their names will then be entered into the “World’s Largest Logbook,” which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. You can also find it online at youngeagles.org. For more information on EAA or the Young Eagles Program, visit eaa.org or youngeagles.org.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law CALL TO ACTION! TIME IS RUNNING OUT. S-2432/A-5371 Permits recovery of uncompensated medical expenses in civil action that result from motor vehicle accidents This Bill (S-2432/A-5371) is now Governor Murphy’s desk for his consideration. We urge you to call Governor Murphy NOW and tell him to sign this Bill. (609) 292-6000. The New Jersey Association for Justice and R.C. Shea & Associates strongly support S-2432/A-5371, which will allow victims of motor vehicle accidents to seek payment for medical expenses that may exceed insurance coverage they have under Personal Injury Protection coverage (PIP). This bill is needed in light of the New Jersey Supreme Court decision in Haines v. Taft, which limits payments for medical care to the insured’s PIP limits with no regard to the actual extent of the injuries sustained and the cost of treatment and care. In many cases, and especially for those lower-income individuals who followed the law and shopped for an insurance policy they could afford, that PIP limit is as little as $15,000. This decision discriminates against those in New Jersey who do not have the financial resources to buy high levels
Robert C. Shea Esq.
of insurance or PIP coverage. As Justice Barry T. Albin said in his dissenting opinion in the case, the decision “will have a catastrophic impact on the right of low-income automobile accident victims to recover their medical costs from the wrongdoers who cause their injuries. The decision leaves innocent automobile accident victims without the legal right to sue negligent and reckless drivers for recovery of their unpaid medical bills – medical bills that will bankrupt some and financially crush others.” The majority decision in Haines invited the Legislature to step in and correct this unjust situation and S-2432/A-5371 does precisely that. This bill would clarify that the Legislative intent is that a victim injured in an auto accident should not be left with crushing medical bills and no legal recourse against the tortfeasor. The public policy of the state of New Jersey simply cannot be that consumers risk potential bankruptcy or financially devastating medical bills in exchange for lower premiums. Injured auto accident victims should not be left to pay for the medical care necessitated by the negligent actions of those who have injured them. TAKE ACTION NOW!

need, and the general population of the state and its regions. With the addition of five new illnesses in March 2018 to the list of medical conditions that qualify patients for medical marijuana, as well as the addition of Opioid Use Disorder in January 2019, the state’s medical marijuana program has expanded greatly. Since the addition of those conditions, the program has added 30,000 new patients, bringing the total patient count to 47,500. Request for Applications (RFA) can be found on the NJ Department of Health website. Permit application forms for ATCs will be available at nj.gov/health/medicalmarijuana on July 1.

Following the webinar, the Department will post a set of Frequently Asked Questions and responses to those questions. The six currently operating ATCs and awardees from the July 2018 RFA are also eligible to participate in this application process.

Around The Jersey Shore $60M Available In Victims’ Services Grants
By Chris Lundy TRENTON – Agencies are encouraged to apply for grants to help victims of crime, with $60 million being made available through the state. The announcement came from Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal, who stated that new policies have made the application process for the New Jersey Victim Assistance Grant (VAG) Program easier. Agencies can now apply for up to $400,000 for a 24-month grant, which is $100,000 more than the previous limit, he said in a press release. Meanwhile, the application process has been simplified, and can be done online. “While New Jersey strives to reduce violent crime in our communities, we have also increased our efforts to provide services to those who are victims of crime, particularly those who suffer as a result of gun violence,” said Attorney General Grewal. “Even in a state with some of the country’s strongest gun regulations, gun violence continues to take lives and has devastating effects on communities, families and survivors. Today we are increasing the funds available to organizations to provide essential services to victims and making the process to apply for those funds easier. These changes are the result of our efforts to strengthen the state’s handling of
victim services.” New Jersey Victim Assistance Grant Program funds programs that answer the physical as well as emotional needs of crime victims, and help them get stability and safety. They also assist victims navigate the criminal justice system. This year, the priority will be on services to victims of gun violence, including providing the victim with: emotional support, grief counseling, crime scene clean-up services, supportive services that help the victim stabilize their lives after victimization, safety planning and intervention and interruption services that address the psychological impact of the injury. The VAG program does not support activities that prevent future victimization, which are ineligible for funding under federal guidelines.

BUSINESS PROFILE DeGRAFF FUNERAL HOME Compassionate • Respectful • Flexible
DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home, Inc. 119 Union Avenue, Lakehurst, N.J. 08733 732-657-7868 Sherry T. DeGraff, Mgr. N.J. No. 3921 degrafffuneralhome@msn.com
DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home is family owned and operated. Founded by Donald & Wanda DeGraff in 1979 in historic downtown Lakehurst. The building itself has a funeral history dating back to the early 1900’s. “Our father was the type of person who was so very compassionate and caring,” said Sherry DeGraff, Manager. “He was an entrepreneur, involved in a number of businesses, but his love was always for the funeral industry.” DeGraff’s mother Wanda is still alive and “still our boss, even if she won’t admit it,” said DeGraff, and her father, Donald passed away in 2004. Growing up with the funeral business surrounding her, DeGraff said she learned from an early age how to treat customers in their time of need. “You handle people in the same way you would want your own family handled, “said DeGraff. “You have to be a good listener, have a lot of compassion and be very flexible. While the core values – compassion, respect and flexibility – have not changed for the DeGraff family, the trends in the funeral business have. Years back, cremations were rare and some religious affiliations did not hold them in high favor. In 1990 the DeGraff family saw the future trends were leaning toward cremation, as a result, their daughter Sherry opened DeGraff Cremation Service offering a wide variety of cremation service options. The move towards more cremation represents the largest shift in the funeral industry. In fact, many consumers believe the cremation
itself is performed at the individual funeral home or cremation service they hired. This is not correct. Crematories are owned by cemeteries. Most people are surprised when they hear that. Many people are unaware that cremation must be authorized by a spouse or blood kin under New Jersey State Law. This can cause undue stress for people who do not have a spouse or family. In 2004, New Jersey law provides for the des- DeGraff Lakehurst Funeral Home has been family-owned and operated at 119 Union Avenue, ignation of an individual Lakehurst since 1979.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 15 - june 21 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Beautify your surroundings in the upcoming week. You could have some great decorating ideas or use a creative touch to rearrange things in a more appealing and efficient manner. Whatever you envision you can achieve. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Food prepared with care is always better than instant. In the week to come you may expect instant gratification of some of your desires. You might appreciate whatever you get more though, if you take time to savor the process. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Words are like water and are often better when filtered. You could be so enthused about something or someone that you say whatever pops into your head. In the upcoming week it would be wise to be more mindful and discreet. CANCER (June 21-July 22): It may be difficult to put email or texts into context. You may need to adapt to a variety of responses to avoid misunderstandings. In the week ahead everyone might be a happy-go-lucky mood except for your partner who is focused on getting ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your goals and objectives can become supersized in the upcoming week. You may see unlimited opportunities in every encounter. At the same time, you will easily be able to compartmentalize your job and other responsibilities to keep it all in balance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might suffer from news fatigue. Take a break from depressing headlines and scandal-ridden newsfeeds in the week to come. Instead, fill your
mind with uplifting and inspiring material that deepens your inner peace. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the week ahead, a down-to-earth and highly specific approach works best to counteract sweeping statements and broad generalizations. A partner could be romantic but fickle, so enjoy but keep your eyes open for yellow or red flags. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Dig deep and use your visualization abilities to manifest financial success. It could be difficult to curtail expenditures because your attitude might be that bigger is better. Close companions could act in surprising ways. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As the week unfolds you may experience exhilaration or an epiphany. Even in the best of times, though, you still need to keep up with the maintenance and mundane tasks of daily life. Routine chores help keep you well-grounded. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Someone might not take you seriously in the week ahead. Your strategies and agendas may gain little traction and your attempts to exert control over a situation might fall flat for now. Be patient, all things in time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Overcome adversity by having faith in a positive outcome. You and a partner could frustrate one another in the upcoming week since one of you acts as the brakes and the other one has a foot on the gas pedal. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): This may be a good week to study chaos theory. Although there may be mix-ups and confusion somehow you will emerge into a better place. Your sensitivity and sympathetic concern for others can be overdone.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen
Dessert For Dad By Wolfgang Puck With four sons ranging in age from 12 1/2 to 30, I always look forward to Father’s Day. And even though I often enjoy preparing food at home for my boys and my wife Gelila, I’m happy to say that all of my offspring enjoy cooking themselves - especially my second son, Byron, who completed a culinary degree and has joined the restaurant world. So, chances are that on Father’s Day I’ll be reaping the benefits that so many dads enjoy: being treated to a meal that my kids cook. I hope if you’re a dad yourself, or are planning a special day for your father or husband, that cooking will figure into your family’s plans too. Often, and traditionally, there’s some sort of backyard barbecuing, a natural with grilling season just started. Of course, by default, Dad usually becomes the one who has to mastermind the Father’s Day cookout, since the outdoor grill is traditionally thought of as his responsibility. (Of course, there are also many women who love to grill!) But I’d like to suggest a different sort of cooking activity this year; one that doesn’t require building a fire or Dad getting smoke in his eyes. Instead, how about staying in the kitchen, preheating the oven and baking a pie? It’s hard to find a dad who doesn’t enjoy a slice of homemade pie, especially when it’s one featuring the best produce of the season. At this time of year, that usually means strawberries. Most of the strawberry pies you see, though, are of the fresh, cold variety: a prebaked pie shell filled with whole glazed berries and topped with whipped cream. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, except it’s called a pie primarily because a pastry shell is its serving vehicle. So instead, why not bake a pie that’s filled with bubbling hot berries? One reason you don’t see many strawberry pies with a baked filling is that the berries on their own break down quickly and reduce to something resembling strawberry jam. I prefer doing what my mother and grandmother did: combining the strawberries with chunks of rhubarb. Rhubarb is a reddish stalk resembling celery in shape, but it has a wonderfully tart taste. When sweetened with some sugar, the flavor harmonizes beautifully with the strawberries and gives the finished pie filling wonderful body. In fact, in years past, some cooks referred to rhubarb as “pie plant.” You can find fresh rhubarb in most well-stocked markets. (Just be sure to trim off all traces of the leaves, which contain toxic compounds.) May you enjoy this pie on Father’s Day with your family, as I hope to do with mine. Thank you, Cameron, Byron, Oliver and Alexander! RHUBARB-STRAWBERRY PIE Make 2 pies 1 recipe Pie Dough (recipe follows), or 2 rounds frozen ready-to-use pie dough BROWN SUGAR CRUMBLE WITH OATS AND ALMONDS: 1 pound (500 g) unsalted butter, cut into even cubes and chilled 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) whole-wheat flour 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour 1 1/4 cups (310 mL) packed dark brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) old-fashioned rolled oats 1 cup (250 mL) sliced almonds RHUBARB-STRAWBERRY PIE FILLING: 6 cups (1.5 L) washed, trimmed, and chopped rhubarb stalks, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces 2 cups (500 mL) strawberries, stemmed, left whole if small, halved or quartered if large
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) granulated sugar 5 tablespoons plus L teaspoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Grated zest of 1/2 lemon Juice of 1/2 lemon Prepare the pie dough in advance. When ready to make the pies, preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Meanwhile, on a lightly floured work surface, roll out the two discs of dough to circles large enough to fill the bottom and sides and slightly overlap the rim of two 9-inch (22.5-cm) deep-dish pie plates. Loosely roll up each circle around the rolling pin and then drape and unroll it over a pie plate; gently press into each plate and trim even with the rim. Flute the edges with your thumb and forefinger. Place foil, parchment paper, or paper coffee filters over the raw dough and fill with pie weights, uncooked rice or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes; then, carefully lift out the paper and weights and bake until light golden, about 10 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and leave the oven on. While the shells are baking, make the crumble. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the flours, brown sugar, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Mix on medium speed. Add the chilled butter, and continue mixing until it forms crumbs. Add the oats and almonds, and continue until the mixture looks like granola. Spread the mixture on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool. For the filling, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Add the rhubarb, berries, salt, lemon zest and juice, and stir until evenly coated. Transfer to 1 or 2 large nonreactive skillets and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit begins giving up its juices. Raise the heat to medium-high and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches a boil and the liquid starts thickening. Remove from the heat and ladle directly into the prebaked pie shells. Do not overfill. Cool and refrigerate any extra filling to serve as a cold compote. Sprinkle the crumble over the pies, place on a baking sheet, and transfer to the oven. Bake until the crumble and the edges of the pastry are deep golden brown and the filling is thick and bubbling, about 45 minutes. If the rim appears to be browning too quickly, cover carefully with pie shields or strips of heavy-duty aluminum foil. When the pies are done, remove from the oven to wire racks. Serve warm or at room temperature, with vanilla ice cream or lightly whipped creme fraiche. PIE DOUGH Makes enough for 2 single-crust 9-inch (22.5-cm) pies 4 1/2 cups (1.125 kg) all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 pound (500 g) unsalted butter, cut into even cubes and chilled 1/2 cup (125 mL) plus 2 tablespoons ice-cold water 1 teaspoon Champagne vinegar In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Set aside. Put all the dry ingredients into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Pulse to combine. Add the butter, and pulse until the mixture is broken up to the size of peas. Mix the water and vinegar together, and add the mixture through the feed tube of the food processor. Immediately begin pulsing on and off until the mixture that forms begins to climb the side of the bowl. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and continue kneading gently by hand until a smooth dough forms. Cut the dough in half, pat it into two even discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
