Grewal Shares The Path To Attorney th July 4 Fireworks General – Or Any Goal – With Students Over Toms River All Set For This Year

Inside The Law
FOR BREAKING NEWS
Gurbir Grewal talks to students about this journey to becoming New Jersey State Attorney General at Toms River High School North June 5. By Jennifer Peacock TOMS R I V E R – What does the state’s chief law enforcement officer and chief legal officer have in common with Gen Z-ers (and, honestly, most people)? He sle e ps near his smart phone. And although Gurbir Grewal did n’t deny
using his phone for more social reasons, his 24/7 job at New Jersey Attorney General demands he be available. Most re cently, he shared with students at Toms River Hig h School Nor t h t hat he was roused from sleep with the news of a d r ive -by
shooting outside the R a m o n e r o s Liq u o r and Bar on Brunswick Ave nue i n Tre nt on May 25, landing 10 people in the hospital. It’s not often he gets to talk to a group of students, although Grewal said it’s something he enjoys. So when the school’s Political
and Legal Education class invited him to visit, he didn’t want to ref use. This was his first of four stops June 5; the scheduled 10 a.m. arrival time turned into 10:45 a.m. It was a brief talk and Q&A about what the attorney general calls (Attorney - See Page 4)
Seaside Is For Families…Provided There Is An Adult
By Chris Lundy SEASIDE HEIGHTS – All are welcome to the attractions in Seaside, but this is the first season that the borough has instituted requirements that a legal adult be on site. This goes in several directions. Firstly, hotels
on the island will be required by a relatively new ordinance to have at least one 18-year-old physically staying in the room, said Christopher Vaz, the borough administrator. They can’t have a parent sign for them and then

By Chris Lundy BEACHWOOD – A year after the fireworks company failed to put on a show, Beachwood officials said that everything is in readiness for this year’s July 4th Fireworks on the Toms River Last year, the fireworks vendor, Fireworks Extravaganza, was not able to ship the fireworks. They did not have staff available with licenses to transport explosives. They later said they had a problem with a driver, and did not have a good Plan B. It would have been the 78th year that the fireworks would be held. Fireworks Extravaganza, of New Rochelle, was scheduled to put on shows at several other venues on the same day. They were not able to get to Beachwood and Milltown. This year will be different, Councilman Gerald LaCrosse said. “They have guaranteed a special driver, a special truck, and to be on location on time.” Although local officials are heavily involved in the planning of the fireworks, it’s not paid for by tax dollars. Rather, it relies on donations. “After last year’s unfortunate circumstance I was able to negotiate a free show from Fireworks Extravaganza,” Mayor Ron Roma said. “We still need donations as they are used year after year to continue the shows as well as for providing refreshments for our emergency services personnel and their families while they are working the event.” “Any amount is certainly welcome and appreciated,” LaCrosse said. “It means so much to the thousands of people who come out.” In fact, if every family just gave a few dollars, it would pay for itself. Checks can be made out to Beachwood Fireworks, and mailed to the municipal building at 1600 Pinewald Road, Beachwood, NJ 08722.
DIRECT CREMATION $1695 Includes: arrangement conference, removal from place of death, alternative container Batesville ccbmdfc, transfer to crematory, crematory fee

Attorney:
Continued From Page 1 his improbable journey to becoming the state’s 61st attorney general, filled with “detours, mistakes, and chance happenings.” “This is particularly special because you are so early on in your journeys to becoming whatever you’re going to become, whether its lawyers, whether its environmental activists, whether its politicians,” Grewal told the packed audience in the school’s media center. “It’s fun with you to share my own journey, because, in some ways, I hope it shows you that anything is possible for each of you.” Grewal harbored hopes of becoming a novelist. Channeling his inner Thoreau, he attended a small liberal arts college in the middle of Maine - his Walden Pond - called Bates College. No, no one in the audience ever heard of it. That first winter froze and killed Grewal’s writerly aspirations. He didn’t know what he wanted to do next, but flipping through his roommate’s pile of college brochures, decided he might like Georgetown University in the slightly less pine-tree-populated and warmer clime of Washington, D.C. He got in and settled on international studies, readying himself to take the foreign service exam. Except upon graduation, the State Department cancelled the exam. They were FSO’d to the max. So he took the LSAT and headed to William and Mary University in Williams-
burg, Virginia. He traded Thoreau for Jack McCoy. He landed at a big law firm in the nation’s capital upon graduation, and was content, making more money than he knew what do with. The “public service bug” had not yet bitten. But then September 11th happened. “My life changed, as did the lives of so many in this country,” Grewal said. The towers fell, the Pentagon burned, and a plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. He grieved that morning, but by lunchtime, something shifted. He was the target of hostile muttering. That night, Grewal’s mother called him. “Be careful,” she said. “There’s this backlash that’s starting, and we’re seeing it up here in New Jersey. People are targeting people who look like us, and associating us with this tragedy that happened, and you need to be a little bit careful right now.” Grewal registered disbelief. He was born in New Jersey, raised in New Jersey. Played Little League. Was as American as any neighbor. He was never made to feel more un-American as he was Sept. 12, 2001 or the days that followed. He couldn’t grieve, or show patriotism, without fear. “As the son of immigrants who came here for economic opportunity, for education opportunity, that my family and other immigrants like my family, had done a great job pushing us to be professionals, pushing us to be engineers and doctors and lawyers. But we were never pushed to give back, to go into public service, to
do those types of jobs that are so intertwined with the fabric of what it means to be an American, to be the soldier, to be the police officer. In that moment, I thought, ‘What can I do?’” Well, he liked to argue. Why not be a federal prosecutor? “I want to get up in court each and every day, looking the way I do and believing the way I do and just saying, ‘Good morning Your Honor. I represent the United States in this matter,’ and maybe change the perception of 12 jurors at a time, or a grand jury at a time, or an FBI agent I’m working with on a case, to show that you don’t have to look a certain way to be American.” Grewal is Sikh, a religion with 20 million adherents founded more than 500 years ago in India. The religion “preaches a message of devotion and remembrance of God at all times, truthful living, equality of mankind, social justice and denounces superstitions and blind rituals. Sikhism is open to all through the teachings of its 10 Gurus enshrined in the Sikh Holy Book and Living Guru, Sri Guru Granth Sahib,” according to sikhs.org. Part of their religious observance is keeping their unshor n hair – kesh wrapped in a dastaar, or turban. “The turban, or dastaar, serves as a practicing Sikh’s primary identifying feature and is worn to cover the uncut hair. The founding Gurus of Sikhism adopted the turban as a way to assert the equality and sovereignty of all people, as turbans were traditionally worn by

royalty in South Asia. Sikh turbans are not merely headwear and instead carry significant religious meaning. Not only is it an element of a Sikh’s religious uniform, but the turban also represents a commitment to maintaining the values and ethics of Sikhism, including equality, service, compassion, and honesty. For a Sikh, a turban is not just a piece of cloth, but this article of faith is an integral part of a Sikh’s identity and their expression of faith,” according to the Sikh Coalition. So Grewal became the Assistant United States Attorney in Brooklyn for four years, a job he loved. He eventually landed a federal prosecutor job with the economic crimes unit in New Jersey. His love for the job was well-known. He caught the attention of Governor Chris Christie, who asked him to interview for the Bergen County prosecutor position. Grewal shared three things to the Toms River students: he wasn’t looking for another job. He had to Google what the Bergen County Prosecutor did, as he had been entrenched in the federal system only. And, he had to admit something to Christie before they even started the interview. “‘Guv, I just want to make sure you know, I’m a Democrat, not a Republican,’” Grewal said. “And [Christie] said, ‘I don’t care. I want people with your background as federal prosecutors to come and do these jobs as county prosecutors.’” (Attorney - See Page 8)

NJ Looking To Expand Access To Medical Marijuana
SEND IT IN TO THIS PAPER AND BE SEEN!
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Department of Health is looking to open up over 100 more Alternative Treatment Centers (ATC) to expand access to medical marijuana for residents. The department is looking for applicants to operate 108 more ATCs: 38 in the northern region of the state, up to 38 in the central region, and up to 32 in the southern region. Endorsements for cultivation, manufacturing and dispensary will be available. The department is looking for up to 24 cultivation endorsements, up to 30 manufacturing endorsements, and up to 54 dispensary endorsements. “We are at a point where patients just cannot wait any longer for easily accessible, affordable therapy. This request for applications allows for specialization of businesses to increase medical product in our state,” said New Jersey Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal. “In addition, by allowing for three sizes of cultivation endorsements (5,000 square feet, 20,000 square feet and 30,000 square feet), we are increasing opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses to participate in the program.” Applications for ATCs will be assessed based on the needs for each region, patient

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. Applications are due August 15. The length of time required to review applications and the timeline for announcing awards will depend on the volume of applications received. A pre-application webinar will be held on July 16 to review the RFA process. You can submit written questions up to July 5 to be reviewed at the webinar. 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.

Students entering grades 7-12 in September 2019 are invited to apply to participate in one of six free two-week coding camps being held this summer at High School North July 22-25 and July 29-August 1, 2019. Up to six coding languages and their applications will be offered. Students will learn the basics of their chosen coding language, create a working product, learn about associated careers, and apply code to address real world issues. In addition, the district is pleased this year to offer a girls-only coding camp July 15 through 18. Girls are underrepresented in computer science and this opportunity offers girls a chance to see what they might be missing and what they can do for the world. Summer workshops are designed for any student of any background. One need not have any knowledge of advanced math or computer science. TR:TechReady is an opportunity to see what’s amazing about coding and to challenge students to discover a new and possibly career-building interest. Space is limited to 25 per class and students will be selected at random from all applicants. Selected students will be expected to attend every day camp is in session and are asked to participate in at least one coding activity during the school year, with cool incentives offered. Register here by Monday May 27. The district also offers a summer TR STEM Camp.

Around The Jersey Shore Social Security Opens Up New Online Portal For New Jersey Residents
By Kimberly Bosco NEW JERSEY – New Jersey residents will now have easier, quicker access to social security services with the Social Security Administration’s new portal. The Social Security portal can be found at socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. According to Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, residents can use the portal for Social Security number (SSN) card replacement requests from the comfort of their own home. “I’m pleased to offer the residents of New Jersey the added convenience of replacing a Social Secu r it y card through the my Social Security portal,” Acting Commissioner Berryhill said. “We will continue to work on innovative initiatives to provide people with safe, secure and convenient options for doing business with us online or in person.” Not on ly th is, but cu r rent Social Security beneficiaries will be able to manage their account on the site as well; they can change an address, adjust direct deposit, obtain a benefit verification letter, or request a replacement SSA-1099. New Jersey and the District of Columbia are the first places to have this
program available. The SSA plans to gradually roll out this service, expanding it to other states throughout 2019. According to the SSA, the portal will mean shorter wait times in the more t ha n 1, 20 0 Social Secu r it y of f ices across the country and more time for staff to work with customers who have extensive service needs. If you are a US citizen 18 years of age or older, and a resident of New Jersey, you can request a replacement SSN card online through the portal by creating an account. You must have a US mailing address, not require a change to your record (such as a name change), and have a valid driver’s license or state identification card. Not to worry, the Social Security portal is a secure site for social security services! Almost 41 million people have already begun using their accounts. In addition to SSN card replacements, Medicare beneficiaries can use the portal to request a replacement Medicare card. Those still in the workforce can use the portal to verify their earnings history and obtain estimates of future benefits by looking at their Social Security Statement online. For more information on the service, visit socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber.

Seaside:
Continued From Page 1 leave. There has to be a legal adult who will take responsibility for any illegal activities or damage. Further, bars and clubs can’t have teen nights where there is “18 to party, 21 to drink.” This was not too common anymore, he said. Prom season is past, and that was the first test of this, he said. These reg ulations f ur ther Seaside Heights’ push to market itself as a family-friendly atmosphere. Borough officials clashed with the party promoters when they moved to crack down on some of the illegal revelry. For example, at the club Karma, the restaurant portion of the club announced it would not be retur ning. Kar ma announced that it would become a nightclub, with a “hyperglow party” last year. On social
media this was described as an ongoing large party of high energy dance music in an ultra violet atmosphere. Police later said there were incidents of drug use and underage drinking. Another case happened when thousands of people arrived on a private beach. The daylong party had been announced on an Instagram page, and partygoers were charged $8 to attend. The property owner was unaware that this was happening. No permits had been applied for the event, so the borough did not know it was happening until people started showing up in droves. There were reports of public drunkenness, drug use, loud music and a few fights. Although known for its party atmosphere viewed on the infamous Jersey Shore show, officials and yearlong residents have been promoting the family friendly culture of Seaside. For a list of things to do in Seaside, visit exit82.com.
A couple things - cough cough Bridgegate cough - derailed his nomination for a couple years. But he eventually served as Bergen County Prosecutor. And while waiting on line on The Little Mermaid ride at Disney World with his youngest daughter in November 2017 (he’s the dad of three girls), he received a call from the governor-elect’s office - Phil Murphy - to see if he was interested in possibly becoming New Jersey Attorney General. He at first thought it was a friend pranking him. It wasn’t. And after a rigorous interview process, he was confirmed as New Jersey Attorney General on Jan. 16, 2018. “My purpose is to leave this state and to leave this position and leave the office I’ve inherited, and leave law enforcement and leave public safety better than I found it,” Grewal said. Since he started, his office has been focused on four things: standing up for New Jersey residents in court; fighting the opioid crisis; reducing gun violence; and strengthening police-community relations. The opioid epidemic in particular is
something Ocean County has wrestled against. High school senior Chiara Feimer, 18, wants to become an environmental attorney, but was interested in hearing what the attorney general had to say about the opioid epidemic in the state. “We’re [fighting the opioid epidemic] in a different way. Prosecutor [Joseph] Coronato started some things and Prosecutor [Bradley] Billhimer is continuing them. We’re trying to divert people out of the criminal justice system into the treatment system,” Grewal said. In Bergen County, he had a program called Operation Helping Hand, where police did drug sweeps, but kept people’s names out of the newspapers to avoid the stigma attached to addiction, and instead got them into treatment. Ocean County has a similar program called the Blue HART - Heroin, Addiction, Response Team - program. “These things are working,” Grewal said. Students had time to ask several questions before the bell for the next period rang. Grewal was questioned on what the state is doing to combat hate crimes; what the state is doing about the opioid epidemic, including the availability of fentanyl; and if his career interferes with his family and marriage. “If you ask Mrs. Grewal, yes.”

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Bill Would Help More Americans Save For Retirement From The Desk Of
Congressman Andy Kim 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 de-
serves 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 ben-
efits 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 Burlington 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
WASHI NGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker joined six other colleag ues i n i nt roduci ng t h e Liv i n g Sh o r el i n e s Act, a piece of legislation that would create a new g r a nt prog r a m for n ature-based shoreline protection projects k now n as living shorelines.

Living shorelines are a t y pe of g reen i n f r astructure that protect and st abilize coast al edges

—Photo Courtesy Eaa Young Eagles By Kimberly Bosco WALL —Monmouth County saw 39 new young aviators take their first flight 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 flight and teach them all they want to
know about the airplanes. 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 flight, 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.

Local Schools Earn Sustainable Jersey Funding For Sustainability Projects NEW JERSEY – Sustainable Jersey recently announced more than $100,000 in grants to support 34 on-the-ground, sustainability and capacity building projects in schools and districts across the state, including one in Howell Township and Lacey Township. The Sustainable Jersey for Schools grants, funded by the PSEG Foundation, include four $10,000 grants and 30 $2,000 grants. The grants will fund a water conservation program at Lower Cape May Regional High School, a community orchard and garden at Avon Avenue Elementary School, a cafeteria trash reduction program at Raritan High School, the refurbishment of the STEM greenhouse at the School of S.T.E.M. at the John F. Kennedy Educational Complex’s and much more. Lacey Township in Ocean County and Howell Township in Monmouth County were among the 30 $2,000 award recipients. At Lanoka Harbor Elementary School in Lacey Township, the grant will help to fund a Zero Waste Lunchinitiative by purchasing Zero Waste Containers from TerraCycle, purchasing new recycling cans, and working with the municipality to develop signage and educational information to support the school community’s efforts to recycle properly. At Memorial Elementary School in Howell Township, the grant will be used to design a space for students and staff to practice mindfulness and activities that promote physical activity. “Sustainable Jersey recognizes the innovative sus-
tainability work happening in New Jersey schools. By supporting these efforts, we celebrate the impact being made while working toward solutions for many of the big sustainability concerns that are reaching a crisis point,” said Randall Solomon, the executive director of Sustainable Jersey. He extended his congratulations to all of the schools and districts that received grants. The PSEG Foundation has contributed $1.9 million dollars in funding to the Sustainable Jersey Grants Program. “The PSEG Foundation is passionate about its aim to support and invest in education and workforce development and build and sustain thriving communities,” said Barb Short, president, PSEG Foundation. “We are proud to partner with Sustainable Jersey, an organization bringing about real positive change for our state, to help fund projects that foster sustainable neighborhoods, economic development and education. By supporting sustainable education in schools, we can help guide children and engage entire communities in the ways to help create opportunities and transform the environment.” Proposals were evaluated by an independent Blue-Ribbon Selection Committee. The Sustainable Jersey for Schools grants are intended to help school districts and schools make progress toward a sustainable future in general, and specifically toward Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification. Currently 331 districts and 864 schools have registered to work toward Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification.

Fire Safety For Those With Hearing Loss
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 flashing 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 drink. 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 flashing 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 hearing loss are at greater risk from night time fires because their hearing instruments 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 flash 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 alerting 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 alarm placement. They can also keep your information on file. For more information about fire 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 EPA Brownfields Multipurpose Grant Announced for Newark NEWARK– On June 5, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) selected 149 communities across the country including Newark, New Jersey to receive funding for brownfield site revitalization to help local governments redevelop vacant and unused properties, transfor ming communities and local economies. “These grants fulfill several of President Trump’s top priorities simultaneously: helping communities in need transform contaminated sites into community assets that not only create jobs and jumpstart economic development but also improve public health and the environment,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “We are targeting these funds to areas that need them the most. Approximately 40 percent of the selected recipients are receiving Brownfields grants for the first time, which means we are reaching areas that may previously been neglected, and 108 of the selected communities have identified sites or targeted areas for redevelopment that fall within Opportunity Zones.” “With EPA’s Brownfields grants, communities can take contaminated, blighted properties and turn them into usable, e nv i ron me nt al ly a nd e conom ical ly profitable land,” said EPA Regional Administrator Pete Lopez. “We are thrilled to work with our state and local partners to fund under-served and disadvantaged communities cleaning up abandoned industrial and commercial properties.” “Brownfields grants have the power to protect New Jersey’s public health communities, and they are a smart economic investment,” said U.S. Senator
Cory Booker. “This is the next step in the revitalization of my home, the City of Newark, and will transfor m sites along the Passaic River from dangerous eyesores to redeveloped areas that can be enjoyed for generations to come.” “Cleaner environments create stronger communities,” said New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Deputy Commissioner Debbie Mans. “Throughout New Jersey, sites like these can become thriving assets that make their cities and neighborhoods safer and more enjoyable for everyone. We are pleased to share this commitment to revitalizing brownfields with the EPA.” EPA has selected the City of Newark for an $800,000 Brownfields Multipurpose Grant to assess sites for hazardous substances and petroleum contamination, develop cleanup and reuse plans, and conduct cleanup activities. The target area for this grant is the 1,250-acre North Ward of the Newark riverfront, which is centered around a heavily industrialized area along the Passaic River. Priority sites include the Seton Leather Company, a former leather manufacturing facility; and Q Petroleum Incorporated, a former heating fuel oil transfer station. Of t he 149 com mu n it ies selected nationwide, 108 have identified sites or targeted areas in census tracts designated as federal Opportunity Zones. An Opportunity Zone is an economically-distressed community where new investment, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. The grant to the City of Newark will address Opportunity Zones in targeted areas.

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 st rongly suppor t 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 Injur y 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 of insurance or PIP coverage.
Robert C. Shea Esq.
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!

Around The Jersey Shore Enter the Pinelands Photo Contest, Win Over $2,500 in Cash Prizes The Pinelands Preservation Alliance and a volunteer committee composed of professional and amateur photographers will host their annual juried photography exhibit focused on the Pinelands National Reserve. The exhibit will hang in PPA’s newly renovated barn at its headquarters in Southampton from November 10, 2019 to December 14, 2019. The deadline for submissions is September 15, 2019. An opening reception will be held November 9 from 2 to 4 p.m. This year we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Pinelands Protection Act, the landmark state legislation that established the framework for Pinelands protection that we know today. We also celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, established in July 1989 to protect the natural and historic resources of New Jersey’s Pinelands National Reserve. Black and white and color images taken within the boundaries of the National Reserve depicting its landscape, flora, wildlife, communities and people will be eligible for over $2,500 in cash awards. Photographers of all skill levels are welcome to apply – all submissions will be digitally displayed at the opening reception and at the exhibit. The deadline for submissions is September 15, 2019. Registration information is available at PinelandsPhotoExhibit.org. This year we place special emphasis on expanding student participation. Sight is our most powerful sense and images can appeal to emotion without any written word needed. In April, students and teachers from Shawnee, Cherokee, Lenape and Rancocas Valley Regional High Schools participated in a focus group meeting on the topics of photography, the Pinelands and participation in this year’s exhibit. In May, 20 students took a photography walk at the Black Run Preserve in Evesham led by award-winning photographer Richard Lewis. We are very excited to see how these
young people capture and memorialize their experiences, whether it is with a digital camera or a smart phone. Photographers are welcome to submit up to three images for $30 and $5 for each additional image up to a total of six total submissions. Student (18 years of age and under) entries are $10 for three images and $5 for each additional image up to a total of six. This year’s Exhibit Judge is Richard Lewis, photographer and educator. “My love for photography started in 1973 when I met my wife and her 35mm camera. Ever since then I’ve been involved with photography both as a fine art and professional photographer. My mother owned an art gallery in New Hope, Pennsylvania in the 1960’s and 70’s so my earliest exposure to art came from painters,” said Lewis. “My biggest influences are the great American landscape painters, especially the Hudson River School and Andrew Wyeth. As a result, I call my photographic style “Painting with a Camera” which involves equal amounts of time in both creating and editing photographs. While I love to photograph the American landscape, no place is more special to me than the New Jersey Pinelands. The unique beauty hidden in these pine trees and tea colored water is a treasure and a landscape that I especially love to explore, photograph and share.” Learn more about Lewis and view his work at richardlewisphotography.com. Important dates: Submission Deadline: September 15, 2019 Gallery exhibition: November 10, 2019 to December 14, 2019 Opening Reception: November 9, 2019 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. - Awards will be announced at the reception For more information or questions please contact: Steve Sebastian, 609-859-8860 ext. 124 or steve@pinelandsalliance.org.

Around The Jersey Shore Health Dept. Reminds Residents To Vaccinate Their Pets OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Health Department (OCHD) wants to remind residents that vaccinating their precious furry friends can save their pets lives from many deadly diseases such as canine distemper and rabies. “We have recently seen an increase in canine distemper cases in raccoons here in Ocean County so now is a good time to urge all cat and dog owners to vaccinate their pets with age appropriate vaccines as recommended by their veterinarian,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Gerry P. Little, Liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. Pet vaccines exist to prevent your pet from falling ill. They provide immunity from a range of infectious diseases that can affect both humans and animals. Daniel Regenye, OCHD Public Health Coordinator reminds us, “Living in Ocean County, many of us share our surroundings with wildlife. Sometimes animals such as raccoons, skunks and opossum may have an unexpected encounter with a family pet so it’s best to be protected from any of the diseases those animals may potentially be carrying. And you can never forget that rabies can be passed on from animals
to humans so keeping vaccinations up-to-date is crucial in maintaining not only your pet’s health, but your own.” Tips to keep your pets safe from wildlife: • Keep your dogs on a leash while on walks or at the park • Keep your cats indoors • Do not catch or remove wildlife form their homes • Don’t feed wildlife on your property and don’t feed your pets outside • Keep garbage can lids secure • Enjoy wildlife from a distance Regenye added, “Pet owners should schedule annual wellness appointments with their veterinarian to discuss their health and vaccination schedule. However, if you suspect your cat or dog had contact with a sick animal you should call your veterinarian right away.” If you have any questions regarding vaccinations please call the Ocean County Animal Facilities at 732-657-8086 or 609-978-0127 or your veterinarian. You can also visit the Health Department’s website at ochd.org or follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth or like us on Facebook.

RESTORING VISION AFTER STROKE
When a stroke occurs in the brain’s “primary visual cortex,” which processes visual information, the resultant lack of oxygenated blood can lead to damage among the neurons in that region. Approximately 60% of people who suffer a stroke experience vision loss. While some patients may spontaneously regain their sight, those who have sustained damage to their “retinal ganglion cells” are not likely to recover sight in the affected area. However, new research reveals that some retinal cells in those with stroke-related vision impairment were still healthy and functional even though sight in that part of the eye was lost. Research shows the next step will involve finding ways to help these healthy cells interpret visual information from the visual cortex. How your vision is affected by stroke depends on several factors. They include what part of the brain was affected, how severe the stroke was, and how long before it was treated. At SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A., you will find a compassionate and experienced team who are dedicated to providing a full spectrum of high-quality personalized eye care for your whole family. To schedule an eye exam, please call 732-349-5622. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations by providing friendly service, professional care, and quality products at affordable prices.

Trip To The Museum Of Jewish Heritage TOMS RIVER – On Thursday, June 20, the Friends of the Toms River Library is sponsoring a bus trip to New York’s Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust. Featured will be an exhibition titled “Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away.” The 18,000 square foot installation, t he la rgest ex h ibit ion ded icated to Auschwitz, is a joint venture between the museum, Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and the Spanish traveling exhibit producer Musealia, known for its shows on the Titanic, which developed and premiered the project in Madrid. Among the over 700 artifacts included in the installation are a German-made Model 2 freight train used to deport Jews to ghettoes and concentration camps
and a partial barrack from Auschwitz III-Monowitz, and an Auschwitz subcamp. The exhibit aims to contextualize the conditions that allowed for the free society of the Weimar Republic to fall into the madness of the Nazi regime and its murder of millions. The public is invited to join in this trip for a 90-minute guided tour, followed by two hours to experience the museum or Battery Park at your leisure. Departing from the Ocean County Mall at 10 a.m., the bus will return at approximately 6:30 p.m. Cost for this experience is $65, which includes the bus, entrance to the museum and a private tour guide.

individuals deserve access to education. Through innovative partnerships like this, we are able to better serve the marginalized and disenfranchised – not only removing barriers to education but providing hope by opening doors to a brighter future.” In recent years, the OCC Foundation has expanded its outreach to partner with community leaders in business, industry, education, and government to reach a common goal to provide quality, affordable education to the students and to prepare them to assume their roles in our society. The accomplishments of the Foundation are a tribute to an unwavering belief in its mission by all who have participated to provide academic excellence that is accessible to all Ocean County residents. “The Ocean County College Foundation is proud to participate in the Ammon Partnership for Recovery through Education Program,” remarked Kenneth Malagiere, Executive Director of the OCC Foundation. “With this scholarship, students can begin or make a fresh start on the road to higher education right here in Ocean County. Our Foundation has long been committed to the success of all of our scholarship recipients and we are looking forward to the witnessing the positive effect of this partnership on our student body.” Beyond the matching scholarship, Ammon and OCC are also exploring various ways to work together and bring education and awareness about addiction and recovery to the campus and the community at large, and support to those in, or seeking, recovery. OCC students in addiction recovery can visit ocean.academicworks.com/opportunities/2037 to apply for the scholarship funding.

TOMS RIVER — In a move to directly impact students in addiction recovery attending Ocean County College, the Ammon Foundation has partnered with the OCC Foundation to make available $2,500 in scholarship awards for two students in recovery for the Fall 2019 semester. Scholarship applications can be submitted through August 16. The funding for the scholarship has been made available via The Ammon Foundation’s Core Value Partnership Initiative, which strives to create intentional, mutually-beneficial and long-term partnerships to strategically support individuals in recovery. As an Education Partner, OCC joins with The Ammon Foundation in a one-to-one matching scholarship to remove financial barriers in place for an individual in recovery pursuing education. The Ammon Foundation has allocated a minimum of $100,000 annually for scholarships to support individuals in recovery pursuing education via various pathways. Scholarship recipients become Ammon Recovery Scholars and are connected to a community of students in recovery, and offered free Peer Recovery Coaching and Professional Mentoring via the Foundations’ Community Engagement Initiative. The Foundation subscribes to the belief that when individuals in recovery are holistically supported to build purposeful lives, the likelihood of them maintaining their recovery substantially increases. “As a woman in long-term recovery, Executive Director of The Ammon Foundation, an Ocean County College alum, and a Trustee on the Ocean County College Foundation Board, I could not be more ecstatic about a partnership,” said Mariel Hufnagel. “All
TOMS RIVER – The Toms River Township Visionary Lions Club would like to thank all the people who donated coats for our coat drive in December, January, and February. This year we were able to collect and distribute coats, helping 2,500 people in need across South Jersey. For five years, the Toms River Township Visionary Lions Club has faithfully served the Toms River area. The needs of our area have really expanded this year. We are always honored to help screen the eyes of over 8,000 students in our community. We have helped over 20 schools in the local vicinity including those in Toms River, Bayville, Lavallette, and Bayhead. This blossomed into screening a number of nursery schools in Toms
River, Bayville, and Forked River. Our referral rate was below 10 percent locally (the national average is about 14 percent). Families who have spoken to us are ecstatic with the program. The Spot Camera we use takes 27 images per second. This is non-invasive and our technicians are approximately three feet away from the students. Local doctors are amazed at the accuracy of the diagnosis we can get. We produce pictures which get passed on to the school nurse and then get passed on to parents to follow up with their doctors. Please help the Lions Club continue to serve by getting involved! To find our more information, call Don at 732232-3157.

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.
