Ocean Gate Helps Forsythe Refuge Celebrates Florida School 80 Years Of Wildlife Conservation By Kimberly Bosco Struck By Storm Eighty years ago it was known as the Brigantine National Wildlife Refuge. Today we know it as the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, spanning 50 miles along the southern New Jersey coast. The Forsythe Refuge stretches across 14 municipalities, from Galloway Township in Atlantic County to Brick Township in Ocean County, protecting more than 47,000 acres of tidal wetland and shallow bay habitat for migratory water birds. This year, Forsythe Refuge is celebrating (Wildlife - See Page 4)

–Photo courtesy Ocean Gate PTO Students did a beach sweep that collected 20 pounds of garbage. By Chris Lundy OCEAN GATE – A small town can make a big difference. That’s the lesson instilled in the kids at Ocean Gate Elementary School. They recently raised $850 to contribute to Bay High School in Panama City, Florida, which was severely damaged when Hurricane Michael hit the area hard in 2018. The $850 was a significant number. It’s par t of the Flor id a school’s area code, and had become a slogan, “850 Strong,” just like we had “Restore the Shore,” said Alisa Capuano, vice president of the PTO. Some of the kids might
be too young to remember Superstorm Sandy in 2012, but their parents do. In the aftermath of the storm, people were gutting their homes, bringing their ruined belongings to the curb. Hurricane Michael did the same thing to that area in Florida. Much of the school was destroyed, and they had to operate out of temporary trailers. That’s why it was so important to show students that we’re in this together, Capuano said. The idea of “community” is more than just your neighborhood; it’s the global community. This ties in to one of the fundraisers that (Storm - See Page 6)

Continued From Page 1 its 80th year of conservation efforts. In 1984, the Brigantine National Wildlife Refuge and the Barnegat National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1939 and 1967 respectively, combined to create the Forsythe Refuge, named for the late conservationist New Jersey Congressman. “The refuge’s location in one of the Atlantic Flyway’s most active flight paths makes it an important link in seasonal bird migration. Its value for the protection of water birds and their habitat continues to increase as people develop the New Jersey shore for our own use,” according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. In early April, Stafford Township presented Virginia Rettig, Forsythe Refuge manager, with a proclamation marking the refuge’s accomplishment. Shortly after, Brick and other municipal officials did the same. The Forsythe Refuge has many designated spots for wildlife observation, photography, hunting, fishing, and education in neighboring townships: • In Barnegat Township, you will find an observation platform right off of Bayshore Drive where you can see resting and feeding migratory birds in freshwater wetlands. • In southern Ocean County, a wildlife observation area is located at Cedar Run Dock Road in West Creek. • At the southern tip of Long Beach Island
lies the 3-5 mile long Holgate unit, where you will find a lookout, and opportunities for hiking and fishing. • In Forked River lies Eno’s Pond, which has a 1-mile self-guided nature trail, observation decks, and a wildlife blind. • In Brick, the deCamp Wildlife Trail is a 3.4-mile roundtrip hike located at the junction of Mantoloking and Adamston roads. • In Little Egg Harbor you can find Graveling Point, which has an observation area and fishing, as well as Parker Run Dock Road. • The Good Luck Point section of Berkeley Township also resides on the Forsythe Refuge and is soon to be the site of another refuge destination: the Good Luck Point Trail Rettig announced the newest addition to the refuge at the Stafford Township Council meeting on April 2. “We recently opened up the Cedar Bonnet Island Unit right down the road on Route 72, we are getting so much use there and it’s very exciting,” she said. As the US Fish and Wildlife Service states, a large facet of what the refuge does is to protect wetland habitats. Over 82 percent of the Forsythe Refuge is made up of wetlands, which are an essential habitat for birds and other wildlife, a place where they can find food and cover. More than 6,000 acres of the refuge are designated as a National Wilderness Area, including Holgate and Little Beach, two of the few remaining undeveloped barrier
beaches in the state. Here you can find the habitat of the rare piping plover, which has suffered drastic population declines due to human development in coastal areas In addition to wetlands and barrier beaches, the refuge also encompasses nearly 5,000 acres of woodlands. The refuge sees over 200,000 visits each year. In order for the refuge to continue protecting wildlife and their habitats, the US Fish and Wildlife Service ask that visitors comply with some regulations: • Remain on designated roads and trails, leaving adjacent habitat undisturbed for use by wildlife • Pets, where permitted, must be on a short, handheld leash at all times. • Do not disturb, injure, destroy, or collect plants, wildlife or other natural objects • Do not feed wildlife • No picking fruits or flowers • Stay out of closed areas • Do not use bicycles or motorized vehicles on trails • No jogging on trails • No camping, swimming, kite-flying, fires, horses, off-road vehicles, or unregistered motorized vehicles As we head into the summer months, note that August provides some of the best opportunities to see shorebirds and warblers heading south. More information on the refuge, locations, and wildlife can be found at fws.gov/refuge/ Edwin_B_Forsythe/about.html.

by 4Ocean. These bracelets, according to 4Ocean.com, are made from recycled materials pulled from the water. Every bracelet purchased pays workers to fish about a pound of debris out of waterways. The school sold 158 bracelets, 97 of them by students. That means that their efforts
removed 158 pounds of garbage. A bracelet costs $20. Of that, $10 was kept for the fundraiser and $1 went to Save Barnegat Bay. The ceremonial oversized check was signed by the kids on the back, and was on display at Grandparents Day. Of course, since this all revolved around the school, there was an educational component to it. Children learned about the Barnegat Bay, and teachers incorporated the environmental causes into their lesson
plans. Another fundraiser was an auction held in spring at the Ocean Gate Yacht Club. “It feels good to do good,” she said. “We’re a small school but we can make a big impact.”

Freeholder Quinn: Working Together We Can Win The Battle Against The Summer’s Most Unwelcomed Guest - The Mosquito
OCEA N COU NT Y – Though never invited, they are an unwelcome guest at every backyard barbecue, baseball game, picnic, hike and trip to the beach. You guessed it - the pesky and sometimes dangerous mosquito. Fortunately, working together we can keep these flying parasites at bay. As Freeholder Liaison to the Ocean County Mosquito Commission, I want to reassure our residents that the commission works yea r-rou nd ident if y i ng
WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) called on the House Com mit tee on Ways & Means to take up legislation to remove the cap on state and local tax deductions and restore tax fairness to New Jersey taxpayers. The testimony was submitted as part of the committee’s “Member’s Day Hearing,” which allows all members of Congress to provide guidance on priorities in their district. Earlier this year, Congressman Kim helped introduce the SALT Act, which would restore the full deduction taxpayers previously had prior to the tax bill passed during the last Congress. The full text of the testimony can be found below. “Chairman Neal and Ranking Member Brady: “I thank the Committee for the opportunity to participate in today’s Member Day hearing and to testify on behalf of New Jersey’s third district. Today I’d like to highlight one particular issue within the Committee’s jurisdiction that has heavily impacted individuals and families in my
mosqu it o habit at s a nd breeding grounds, then does its best to bring the insect’s population under control. Using a variety of mosquito countermeasures - a method known as integrated pest management - the commission tackles mosquitos at the source. Larvicide applications help control pre-adult mosquitos, while biological methods, such as introducing mosquito-eating fish in breeding pools, are a natural way to control the
population. Sometimes, a mosquit o -r ich h abit at ca n be slightly altered to prevent a growing population of the flying pests. The commission also uses more traditional methods, such as spray tr ucks to apply larvicides. For larger areas, the commission operates two helicopters to treat areas aerially. Most of the aerial applications are limited to the county’s extensive salt marshes. Salt marshes can also be
managed through the use of amphibious equipment, which eliminates reproducing mosquitos without the use of pesticides. Once completed, the areas become more useful to other members of the tidal food web, and remain in that state indefinitely. Much of the Mosquito Commission’s work goes unnoticed by our residents. But the com m ission is only one part of the battle against the bugs. The rest is up to us. There are easy steps all of
us can take to control the mosquito populations in our neighborhoods. One of the easiest changes is the removal of any standing water from our yards. Mosquitos breed in water that collects after a rainfall. Birdbaths, old tires, buckets and other plastic containers are ideal mosquito nurseries. According to our own Ocean County Health Department and its Freeholder Liaison Gerry P. Little, mosquitos can g row in a container as small as a bottle cap.
Congressman Kim Calls On Ways & Means Committee To Take Up SALT Bill
district and state. “In 2017, Congress passed a massive tax overhaul bill, which included a provision that instituted a cap on the state and local tax (SALT) deduction. This provision has already resulted in tax hikes for millions of New Jersey families and will potentially result in continued state revenue shortfalls that threaten state investments in our communities. “In a recent survey conducted by New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants’ (NJCPA) to more than 500 CPAs, an ave r age of 36 percent of their clients paid more in federal taxes in 2018. The vast majority of those claiming the deduction in New Jersey a nd across the nation are middle-class households. In 2016, 40 p e r c e nt of New Jersey taxpayers
deducted their local property and state income taxes. Those households averaged $18,000 per deduction and over 80 percent of those who filed, earned less than $200,000. This is a clear tax hike on the middle class, which is felt even more acutely in a high-cost state like New Jersey. “Year after year, we’ve seen reports that New Jersey is one of only a few states to send more taxpayer money to Washington than it gets back in services. In fact, a report from earlier this year showed that New Jersey
residents only receive 82 cents back in services on the dollar paid in federal taxes. This deduction not only helps families avoid double taxation, but also helps build cities through infrastructure investment, provide for communities through social service in-
vestment and prepare the next generation through education investment. “New Jersey families have been overtaxed and underserved for too long. I urge the Committee to consider legislation this year that would restore the deduction and immediately bring tax

Unfortunately, mosquitos can be more than just an itchy nuisance. The insects can carry several harmful viruses, including encephalitis and West Nile. Cleaning up any standing water from our yards is our first line of defense against these diseases. But even out best efforts will never be enough, so don’t forget to apply an EPA-approved insect repellent when venturing outside. I hope everyone has a happy, safe and itch-free summer.
fairness back to the system. We have a chance now to work together to provide tax relief to millions of taxpayers in New Jersey and across the nation. “Thank you again for the opportunity to testify and I look forward to working with my colleagues on this issue.”

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F eatured L etter Plastic Bag Ban Doesn’t Solve Problem With all the talk of banning paper and plastic bags in New Jersey, there’s plenty of confusion. There are varying municipal laws, plenty of debate and now consideration in the state Legislature that could serve as a uniform solution to phase out both single-use disposable plastic and paper bags, while encouraging the mass use of reusable bags in New Jersey. Last year, Gov. Phil Murphy vetoed a statewide bag fee program because he believed it did not go far enough to impose a universal ban. But the campaign continues. Leaders in the food industry remain vocal advocates for promoting sustainability and environmental leadership; these are among the reasons why I serve as vice chair of the Board of the New Jersey Clean Communities Council, a successful, reputable, statewide litter abatement initiative. Over the past two years, we have watched various municipalities throughout New Jersey enact disposable bag bans and fees with different requirements, definitions, and effective dates. This has created an onerous and unworkable thicket of local ordinances for retailers who have established businesses throughout the state. Many of these ordinances have been focused on disposable plastic bags, but disposable paper bags also have a drastic environmental impact, as well as a higher cost than plastic bags. Paper bags also require 10 times the amount of trucks to deliver the same quantity of bags, resulting in increased truck traffic on our streets, diesel emissions in our air and a negative impact for all involved. That is why our food retail members working in municipalities that have banned disposable plastic bags without addressing disposable paper bags are faced with much higher costs. Not only is the paper option more expensive, there is no incentive for shoppers to bring reusable bags. Additionally, the increased use of paper bags will ultimately drive up the volume in munic-
ipal recycling programs, with increased paper in the solid waste stream, both of which are facing increased costs, as well. This means municipalities have to pay more for recycling and waste removal services, an easily-avoidable expense that is being passed on to property taxpayers. Clearly, focusing solely on banning disposable plastic bags is more expensive for retailers, consumers, and municipalities. No one appears to be winning under the current scenario. Meanwhile, our carbon footprint is growing. The New Jersey Food Council, and like-minded partners, are supporting a statewide legislative initiative to phase out the use of both plastic and paper disposable bags throughout New Jersey and further encourage reusable bags as a beneficial alternative. We salute State Sen. Bob Smith (D-Middlesex), chair of the Senate Environment and Energy Committee, for his ongoing fight to remove ALL single-use bags from the solid waste stream. His proposed legislation would include food safety protections and provide, finally, a uniform policy for governing the use of disposable bags throughout New Jersey. No longer would there be different rules, based on different zip codes. We hope business, government and sustainability organizations all work together to educate consumers about the importance of advancing this effort and to advocate for a statewide solution. In the interim, it is our hope that well-intentioned municipal officials refrain from passing local ordinances on single-use plastic bags, as there is already a burdensome patchwork of different local laws that must be untangled if this state legislation is adopted. Together, let’s embrace this sound environmental policy that can be equally applied across New Jersey, our very own progressive approach to the disposable bag issue and support for reusable bags. Linda Doherty President New Jersey Food Council
Congressman Thanked For Opioid Meeting Recently I attended Andy Kim’s town hall panel discussion on the opioid crisis. I want to thank my Congressman for three things. First, Congressman Kim gave families who have experienced tremendous loss a voice. They were heard loud and clear. Doing so helps to humanize this issue and break down stigmas. Second, Congressman Kim’s vision to pull together resources throughout the community to address this issue is crucial. This widespread problem needs collaborative solutions. Last but not least, for the first time in ages, I saw people from both sides of the aisle come together to have a heartfelt and respectful discussion about an invasive problem within our society. Thank you Congressman Kim for your leadership to gather up citizens, agencies, organizations and government resources to fight this crisis. Jean Czarkowski Toms River
One Of The 7 Deadly Sins What used to be “Gay Pride” events are now suddenly only “pride” events. The “gay” has been dropped, perhaps in an attempt to make the events (like the BlueClaws’ “Pride Night”) seem more relatable, more palatable to the average person. Whoever is behind
Letters The Editor this marketing strategyTo does the public with inaccurate of OxyContin (3). not realize, however, that in the Bible, pride is spoken of continually as being a much worse sin than being gay is. Therefore, those who celebrate “Pride” in their parades have only made their situation worse, and the Rabbi in Lakewood who denounced the BlueClaws and the gays in such a proud, malicious manner is acting in a manner that will never get him my support, as much as I may agree with him that homosexuality is wrong in God’s eyes. As for me, I will continue to say that God hates pride wherever it shows itself, so feel free to label me “Prideophobic” if you wish. Chet Jelinski Whiting
Media Bias The word bias refers to showing an unjustified favoritism toward something or someone. Thus, on a very simplistic level, media bias refers to the media exhibiting an unjustifiable favoritism as they cover the news. When the media transmit biased news reports, those reports present viewers with an inaccurate, unbalanced, and/ or unfair view of the world around them. The definition of media bias is a lot like Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart’s definition of pornography “I know it when I see it.” Media bias is real; it reduces the quality of journalism, and it fosters distrust among readers. Hiding behind the First Amendment the mainstream media constantly blankets

slanted hit pieces and have become no more than the far left propaganda wing of the Democrat party. Much of the public doesn’t realize just how strict the code of conduct that journalists have traditionally followed. The Journalist’s Creed stands in bronze at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. for all to see, it states in part that “individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another’s instructions or another’s dividends.” I challenge any and all who call themselves journalists, at any and all professional levels to read the creed and then perform a sincere inventory of his or her journalistic practices. Conservatives are an alien species in many newsrooms. The resulting slanted (and occasionally hostile) coverage leaves conservatives rightly distrustful, this breeds the perception that the media is out to get them, and gives credence to the saying “fake news.” Opinion or fact or somewhere in between the results of this bias include slanted news, withheld information, warped priorities, and discrediting news sources that cover stories they intentionally ignore. The question is: ‘Whatever happened to the free press? Whatever happened to honest reporting?” Art Mooney Little Egg Harbor
Meet The Sacklers Since 1999 we’ve lost more than 700,000 Americans to fatal overdose from opioids (1). But how did we get here? Ever heard of Richard, Jonathan, Kathe or Ilene Sackler? They are the family behind Perdue Pharmaceuticals. Still not ringing a bell? How about this: Purdue Pharma is the maker of the highly addictive opioid pain medication, OxyContin. The Sackler’s knew that this drug was dangerous but aggressively marketed it as safe and bribed doctors with lavish gifts to get them to prescribe more (2). Between 1996 and 2003 Purdue Pharma raked in $1.6 billion dollars annually off the aggressive sale
Recent lawsuits filed against Purdue Pharma uncovered another plan hatched by the Sackler family in 2014 to profit off of the overdose/opioid crisis - Project Tango. This plan made it explicitly clear that opioid painkillers and addiction are “naturally linked” and encouraged the Sackler family to expand their business to include addiction treatments in order to increase their profits (4). But good news, New Jersey is on it. In May, Attorney General Grewal filed a lawsuit against 8 members of the Sackler family, claiming that they became “unimaginably rich” by deceptively marketing Oxycontin as rarely addictive, bribing doctors to prescribe the drug and contributing to the overdose crisis we face today (5). Sign our petition to tell NJ’s AG Grewal that when we win settlement funding, we need to ensure that funding goes directly to expanding access to evidence-based treatment for people struggling with substance use disorder - especially people on Medicaid, Medicare and without insurance.

Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)
Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Buying A Hearing Aid Is So Confusing Is it really possible to simplify the purchase of a hearing aid? The answer is, probably maybe. In fact, there is so much advertising of product A through Z that I believe many potential hearing aid wearers are too confused to take the next step. Which manufacturers make the best hearing aids? In my opinion, the major players include Phonak, Widex, Sonic Innovations, GN Resound, Starkey, Siemens and Oticon. These manufacturers are focusing their research on digital technology in an attempt to improve speech understanding in background noise. Digital hearing aids are recommended for the active individual who can afford the technology. Digital hearing aids work best as a pair, or binaural set, to provide hearing balance. The minimal cost of low level digitals is around
$2,000 and higher end digitals can cost up to $6,500 for a pair. Make sure you have a trial period to evaluate the benefits of any hearing aid. Trial periods will range from 30 to 60 days. Professional service fees (i.e., non-refundable) should only apply if you return the hearing aid(s) for refund. The hearing health care professional needs to account for his/her time and in many cases, will spend four to five hours with a patient during the specified trial period. Dr. Izzy recommends that if you are not satisfied with the performance of the first hearing aid, try a different aid from another manufacturer with possibly different technology. The worst thing you can do is to “walk out with the same hearing problem” that you walked in with.
His offices are in Toms River, Whiting (expanded hours!), and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732276-1011 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com. Dr. Izzy & Staff gives Retirement Community Talks!

Hormone Strategies For Fatigue And Menopause
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Many times, when a woman is fatigued and experiencing post-menopausal symptoms, practitioners are quick to recommend hormone replacement therapy, referred to as HRT. This can mitigate the symptoms of menopause, and particularly serves as a quick first-line defense against hot flashes, usually the most troubling of all menopausal symptoms. HRT seeks to bring your estrogen (and sometimes progesterone) levels back up, to a higher level, which is what you had when you were more youthful. Estrogen is typically provided as a prescription called “estradiol.” You can receive prescription hormones via pills, patches, pellets, and creams. Estradiol is one of the 3 sisters of estrogen… remember, estrogen refers to a combination of estradiol, estriol and estrone. Unfortunately, many physicians prescribe the one “sister” by herself, meaning they just give you “estradiol” and not the other two estrogens. They also do not always give you progesterone with the estrogen medication. This is a mistake in my opinion. The estrogen prescribed all by itself, is termed “unopposed estrogen.” Despite progesterone’s far-reaching impacts on health, many doctors still wrongly assume its only job is to protect the uterus, and they don’t usually prescribe it with estrogen. But there are receptors everywhere in your body for progesterone, so you need it whether or not you still have a uterus. Taking estrogen and/or progesterone doesn’t always help because you might also be deficient in pregnenolone or DHEA, two hormones that are higher up on the chain. Certain HRT medications come with an in-
creased risk of breast and uterine cancer as well as the small, but potential, risk of heart attack, deep vein thrombosis, and stroke. HRT medicines are potent drug muggers and capable of suppressing nearly every mineral in the body as well as your B vitamins. Take synthetic HRT long enough, and you’ll have even worse fatigue, depression, hypothyroidism, confusion, memory lapses, anxiety, insomnia and weight gain. You can choose bio-identical hormone therapy if traditional HRT doesn’t improve your post-menopausal symptoms. Doing so provides your body with estrogen and progesterone in forms that are biologically identical to what was naturally produced in your youth. That means you experience more of the benefits, and fewer side effects. These therapies are usually created in compounding pharmacies as topical creams, and the dose is customized for you. The dose is determined by the amount that you make, as well as your response. It’s a trial and error thing, so when you start with bio-identical hormones, you should ask the pharmacy if you can purchase just a week or two at a time, so you can test it and be sure that adjustments to the levels of hormones can be made before you buy a 90-day supply. Oftentimes, the bio-identical hormones used in the cream include some or all of the following: DHEA, testosterone, estriol, estrone, estradiol and progesterone. Estriol is hardly ever mentioned but it’s a fun fact that the placenta produces this estrogen in large amounts during pregnancy. Find a physician in your city that specializes in reading labs and prescribing hormones, rather than just asking your General Practitioner for a onesize-fits-all pill.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Addicted To Cell Phone Dear Joel, My husband is addicted to his cell phone. I find him so rude to his family. When we are out with people he plays with it all the time. My yelling at him is meaningless. Answer Cell phone addiction is a real addiction. I am not a therapist and therefore unable to diagnose. I have heard stories of people making bets with their spouse. Another trick is to have him make a charitable contribution if he uses it nonstop.
However, if it truly is an addiction it is a symptom that something else may be wrong. In that case, it may take a professional to help him. Your screaming will accomplish nothing.

Inside The Law Ripped Off? Now What?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Have you been ripped off by a car dealer, a home improvement contractor or some other business? Remember, there is no such thing as a “free lunch.” Anytime someone tries to sell you something, you should take everything they say with a grain of salt. This is particularly true when you purchase a car, buy a home, hire someone to remodel your house, pay for any other type of goods and/or services, and particularly where you are entering into some type of written agreement. Unfortunately, we live in a society today where some businesses make claims or representations that turn out not to be true or omit to tell you an important item, for example, that an automobile has been in a severe prior accident or a home has a wet basement. Make no mistake, fraud is rampant in New Jersey. The Division of Consumer Affairs reports that the largest source of complaints concern car dealers and home improvement contractors. However there are other dishonest businesses that rip off consumers for small amounts of money – which add up to a lot of profits for the business. When the amount is small, you may think that your damages are too small to hire an attorney and may not be worth the time to do something about it. THE NEW JERSEY CONSUMER FRAUD ACT Fortunately, New Jersey has a remedy – the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act- is the strongest consumer protection law in the nation. If you have been the victim of a misrepresentation, deception, fraud, false pretense or the omission of an important material fact, you may be entitled to three times your damages plus payment of your attorney’s fees by the defendant business if you have suffered the loss of money. The Consumer Fraud Act covers almost every sale of merchandise and services. The purpose of the Act is to promote honesty and fair dealing in the marketplace. For example, any affirmative misrepresentation by a seller results in liability regardless of whether the representation was made in good faith or negligently. Businesses are presumed to have a superior knowledge of the goods and services that they sell as well as superior
knowledge of the laws and regulations that govern your business. Accordingly, they are strictly liable for committing consumer fraud. The purpose of the Act is to Michael J. Deem encourage private attorneys to represent consumers in disputes that involve small damages otherwise consumers would not be able to obtain representation. The defendant is required to pay the successful consumer’s attorney’s fees and costs. AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE When you deal with a home-improvement contractor or other seller, try to limit the amount that you make as a down payment. The more money that pay a contractor upfront, the greater the risk they will delay the job, not return to finish the work, or not make corrections. There have been many stories where a contractor took a deposit and never returned to start the job or only did a little work and never returned. When purchasing a used car, you should always get a CARFAX and you should always take the vehicle to your trusted mechanic and have it tested. Make sure that any verbal representations that are made by the dealer are put in writing. Always read the agreement! Many times, the agreements contain paragraphs that limit the liability of the seller, require you to give up consumer protection rights, or say things that are completely opposite from that which the seller has verbally promised. Although “Buyer Beware” is not the law in New Jersey, not reading or understanding the terms of the agreement you sign is no defense—the seller is not required to explain the agreement and you cannot rely on the verbal representations when entering into a written contract. The litigation attorneys at the Law Offices of R.C. Shea & Associates handle most consumer fraud claims on a contingency basis. A contingency means if there is no recovery, there is no fee.

Summer Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days Set
OCEAN COUNTY – The summer is a great time to dispose of old paint, pesticides and a host of other household chemicals that may be collecting in closets, garages and basements. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management is again scheduling a series of Household Hazardous Waste collection days later this summer. “This is the perfect opportunity to clean out those old products that can pose a threat to the environment and should not be thrown away with everyday trash,” said Freeholder Gary Quinn, liaison to the Department of Solid Waste Management. Waste can be brought to three locations on three separate dates. The program is free, but space is limited and preregistration is strongly suggested. Collection days are set for: • July 13 at the Manchester Department of Public Works Garage, 1360 Route 70, Manchester. Please call 732-506-5047 to register. • August 10 at the Jackson Municipal Building parking lot, 95 West Veterans Highway, Jackson. Register by calling 732-367-0802. • September 7 at the Long Beach Township Department of Public Works, 7910 Long Beach Boulevard. Please call 609-978-0913 to register. The drop off locations will be open from 9 am to 3 pm. County residents may bring their waste to the closest or most convenient drop off. Materials accepted at the household hazardous waste collection sites include:
paints, thinners, boat paints, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, aerosol cans, auto products, toilet and drain cleaners, silver polishes, oven cleaners, photographic chemicals, rug and upholstery cleaners, polishes and bleaches, waste oil and used gasoline. Materials not accepted include oxygen tanks and boat flares. Residents can drop off a maximum of 200 pounds of dry material and 20 gallons of liquid at the County’s household hazardous waste collection sites. No containers over five gallons will be accepted. Waste will be accepted only from county residents and farmers. Businesses and government agencies are not eligible. Program information is also on the county website at www.co.ocean.nj.us/recycle. “I’m proud to say that this is the 30th year that the county has run these collections and over the past 3 decades our residents have helped to safely dispose of more than 15 million pounds of hazardous materials,” said Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines. Household hazardous waste collection dates earlier this spring saw 232,965 pounds of material collected. Quinn said residents who miss a date should contact their municipal recycling centers and the county’s recycling centers, which allow for year-round drop off of a host of materials including used paint, motor oil and car batteries. “Our residents should check with us or their local recycling center to determine what is accepted year-round, eliminating the need to store potentially hazardous items in their home,” Quinn said.
The Berkeley Times welcomes your special announcements! Engagements, Weddings, Births, Birthday Wishes, etc. Please call 732-657-7344 for more details!

Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator. “We have so many lovable pets for adoption that will just melt your heart.” “The name of the event says it all,” said Little. “The June Jamboree and Family Fun Day is just a wonderful way to spend a summer day with the whole family, including the furry, four-legged family members.” The Ocean County Health Department operates two Animal Facilities located in Jackson and Manahawkin. Both facilities are open 7 days a week and every pet adoption includes spaying/neutering, micro-chipping, age appropriate vaccinations, and a health exam by the shelter veterinarian.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of june 22 - june 28 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Avoid issues in the week ahead by being considerate of collective family needs. You may have some intense ambitions, but your loved ones need to come first now. Juggle your schedule so everyone is happy. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do your duty. You can achieve more traction by following accepted procedures than by improvising and experimenting. You and a loved one can develop a higher degree of intimacy and shared passions as this week unfolds. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be diplomatic. It is possible to phrase your questions in a way that shows you care. The reactions you receive from others in the week ahead may point out areas where there is room for improvement. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are not one to sleep on the job. In the week ahead you may have added enthusiasm for your career or even routine tasks. Be cautious that your intense drive and energy doesn’t cause rub a loved one the wrong way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A Full Moon can bring something to a peak. In your case an important goal, a creative project or children’s needs could come into sharp focus. In the upcoming week you should find time to think about your future. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t be afraid to share your inspirations and intuitions - loved ones will appreciate your creative ideas in the upcoming week. Learn from criticism; it can serve to clarify your thinking and enlarge your perspective.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your way of dealing with people could seem a little too automated as the week unfolds - the temptation could be to phone it in instead of interacting and responding in the moment. Choose people for friendship instead of benefits. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Cuddle up and chill out with loved one or a special fur baby. You might even consider rescuing a four-legged buddy to share your life - or just hang out and share the love with people and pets you already know and care for. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There is a Full Moon in your sign, so you may be made more aware of ways that important relationships affect you. In the week ahead you may become more sensitive to nuance when speaking with loved ones. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A careful consideration of the facts and figures will alert you to potential pitfalls in any plan. If you become upset in the week to come, figure out what within you is being triggered when your buttons are pushed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Two opposite concepts can blend together rather than cancel one another out. Although you believe in the intangible you must rely upon facts to get through the upcoming week. You may be intuitive about finances. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may prefer to fly under the radar in the upcoming week. Reassess and rethink your goals while you feel secure. An opportunity might come along that may be more, or less, important than it appears to be.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen
A Pasta Dish For All Seasons By Wolfgang Puck PASTA WITH SPRING AND SUMMER VEGETABLES Serves 4 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup (250 mL) cherry tomatoes, stems removed Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality canned vegetable stock or broth 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh Italian parsley 1/4 cup (60 mL) finely shredded fresh basil leaves 1 tablespoon bottled pureed roasted garlic Crushed red pepper flakes 1 cup (250 mL) 1-inch (250-ml) pieces fresh green beans 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced carrots 12 stalks asparagus, tough ends snapped off and discarded, stalks cut into 2-inch (12-mm) pieces 1 cup (250 mL) broccolini cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces 1 cup shelled fresh peas or canned frozen petit peas 12 ounces (375 g) dried pasta strands such as bucatini or spaghetti or bite-sized shapes such as bowties, torchio or penne 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly grated Parmesan, optional Bring both a large pot of unsalted water and a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a heavy medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough to shimmer slightly and flow freely when the skillet is
tilted, add the cherry tomatoes. Leave the tomatoes undisturbed until they start to blister, 1 to 2 minutes. Then, stir them gently, season lightly with salt and pepper, and leave about 30 seconds longer. Remove from the heat. In a blender, combine 1 cup of the vegetable stock with the tomatoes, the parsley, 2 tablespoons of the basil, and the roasted garlic. Blend until pureed. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan, and add the remaining vegetable stock, a small or large pinch of red pepper flakes to taste, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer briskly, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the sauce thickens slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. While the sauce reduces, in separate batches in the saucepan of salted boiling water, boil each of the vegetables for 1 minute in the saucepan. As each vegetable is done, remove it with a wire skimmer, rinse under cold running water until cool, drain well, and transfer to a bowl. Add all the vegetables to the sauce, and stir well to heat them through. Keep warm. As soon as the large pot of water comes to a boil, salt the water. Add the pasta, and cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. Drain the pasta and, while it’s still slightly dripping, stir it into the sauce until well coated. Remove the pan from the heat and, if you like, stir in the Parmesan. To serve, divide the pasta and vegetables among four large warmed serving plates or pasta bowls. Garnish each serving with the remaining shredded basil and, if desired, some Parmesan. Serve immediately.
