By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A long-sought widening of Route 9 is slated to begin in the spring of 2022. It aims to alleviate congestion i n several dif f icult intersections. The plan encompasses a length of the state highway starting just north of Indian Head Road in Toms River to just beyond 2nd Street in Lakewood. The project is in the final design phase now, and letters are expected to go out in the fall to property owners for the state to acquire

For the most part, the state would be buying a sliver of land in order to widen it, said officials from Arora and Associates, the consulting engineers on the project. In some cases, entire lots would need to be purchased in order to put in stormwater retention basins. The project is expected to cost $50 million, said David Hutchinson, project manager with Arora, who gave a presentation recently in Lakewood. (Project - See Page 16)

Safety:
Continued From Page 1 said Freeholder John P. Kelly, who sits on the NJ Transportation Planning Authority Board of Trustees. “We’re committed to making our streets safer but we need everyone’s help. If you keep safety in mind when you’re driving and walking, we can make a difference and reduce crashes.” In New Jersey, pedestrian safety proves a major concern. According to (NJTPA), “the federal government has designated [New Jersey] a pedestrian safety focus state for its high rate of fatalities and injuries.” Of the total number of individuals killed in crashes in New Jersey in 2017, nearly one third were pedestrians, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). NHTSA counts that number as 183 pedestrian fatalities out of a total 624 total fatalities. This figure is nearly double the national average of 16 percent, ranking New Jersey as 13th in the nation in pedestrian fatalities per 100,000 people. Think of it this way: one pedestrian is killed every two days in New Jersey. Developed in 2013 by NJTPA, Street Smart NJ is an annual campaign that partners with local police departments throughout the Jersey Shore to promote pedestrian safety during the busy summer beach season. Long Beach Township was one of the NJTPA’s first law enforcement partners. Since its inception, the program has grown to incorporate nearly 100 local communities including Beach Haven, Harvey Cedars,
Ship Bottom, Surf City, Asbury Park, Point Pleasant Beach, Bradley Beach, Brielle, Long Branch, Manasquan, and Sea Girt among others. On June 26, officials from Ocean County, NJTPA, Long Beach Township Police, and traffic safety organizations came together to commemorate the kick-off of their 2019 season. “These campaigns make a difference by reminding everyone to follow the laws and be safe,” said Megan Keller, Long Beach Township Police Officer. “Drivers need to slow down, focus on the road and stop for people crossing. And people who are out walking should use crosswalks or cross at corners, wait for the signal and also avoid distractions.” And Keller is right – these campaigns really do make a difference. Analysis performed on campaigns conducted in 2018 and 2019 found Street Smart NJ contributed to: • A 60 percent reduction in drivers failing to stop before turning right at a red signal or stop sign • A 40 percent reduction in turning vehicles failing to stop for people crossing • A 45 percent reduction in drivers running a red light or stop sign • A 21 percent reduction in people crossing against the signal or outside of a crosswalk. One of the event’s speakers was Andy Anderson of the NJ Bike & Walk Coalition. Anderson connected the purpose of the Street Smart NJ campaign to reality with a tragic story. “On Saturday, my wife and I received a phone call from our youngest daughter and she was in tears…[she] lives and works
here every summer in the LBI area and she told us that one of her best friends was struck and killed while jogging in Delaware, where she was attending college,” said Anderson. “She had just turned 23 years old and she was supposed to have plans with my daughter on Sunday. “In that moment it reminded me that none of us…is immune from this.” Anderson echoed Freeholder Kelly and Officer Keller’s state–Photo by Kimberly Bosco ments, adding that we are the only ones who can make a dif- On June 26, officials from Ocean County, NJTPA, ference in these tragic statistics; Long Beach Township Police, and traffic safety he doesn’t believe in calling them organizations came together to commemorate the kick-off of their 2019 season. “accidents,” either. “It’s not an accident, it’s a crash or a collision and ask yourself…was there 25 mph, to reduce the risk of crashes. This anything that someone in this collision is now known as Antione’s Law. During the Street Smart NJ campaign, could’ve done to avoid it?” he added. Samantha Rodolico, driver’s education officers will be working to enforce pedesteacher at Burlington City High School, trian laws as well as educate motorists and provided another perspective of how safety pedestrians about the steps they can take to avoid a tragedy or injury on the roadway. awareness can save lives. Just as Anderson pointed out, this campaign “Three years ago Antione Timbers, who was a junior at Burlington City High School, was is meant to remind us of the role we play out at night right across from our high school in making our streets safer. Stay alert, put [on Route 130] when he was struck and killed down your phones, keep your heads up, use by a speeding vehicle,” she explained. After crosswalks, obey speed limits and signals, this tragic loss, the students and staff knew and stop for pedestrians. For more information, or to become inthey wanted to make a change. Using the slogan “25 Saves Lives,” and volved in the Street Smart NJ campaign, with the help of the Brain Injury Alliance visit bestreetsmartnj.org or visit the orgaof NJ, they were able to petition to decrease nization’s Facebook (/StreetSmartNJ) and the speed limit on that road from 50 mph to Twitter (@njstreetsmart).

Libraries:
Continued From Page 1 reading” far and wide, two Howell educators chose to install two new free libraries with the help of the Bill O’Brien Community Service Grant funded by the Howell Township Education Foundation. Christine Veracierta and Renee LeFante are instructional coaches for teachers in the Howell School District. The pair used the grant to purchase, install, and stock the little libraries. The Little Free Libraries are located at the Deerwood Park Apartments, 2740 Lakewood-Allenwood Road, and at Countryside Place Apartments, 11 North American Drive. Little Free Library is “a nonprofit organization that inspires a love of reading,
The Howell Times, July 6, 2019, Page 5 builds community, and sparks creativity by fostering neighborhood book exchanges around the world.” Ranking as the world’s largest book-sharing movement, Little Free Libraries facilitate the exchange of millions of books worldwide, every day. You can borrow a book from the library, as long as you replace it with another. The libraries are small, freestanding structures with just a few shelves and a little window door. “Come take a book or leave a book all summer long!” read a post from Howell Township Public Schools. The district thanked employees Veracierta, LeFante, and the many readers in attendance at a June 22 unveiling ceremony.

Great Restaurants, Graduations, Tourism, And Construction – A Lot Going On In Monmouth County From The Desk Of The
Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone Happy summer! I hope everyone has been enjoying the warmer weather and all the county has to offer. There are so many events and activities throughout the county that there is sure to be something for everyone. With that being said, as the liaison to the County’s Department of Public Information and Tourism, I held a press conference in Keyport, along with my fellow Freeholders, to celebrate the start of summer in the Bayshore and to showcase all that they have to offer visitors this summer! I am proud to say that tourism is nearly a $2.6 billion industry in Monmouth County and it was no surprise to hear that the county saw an increase in visitors last year.
As always, it is a pleasure to work with local tourism officials to ensure Monmouth County not only remains one of the best places to live, but also one of the best places to visit. Remember, it’s “The Place You Want to Be!” In keeping with the topic of making summer plans, don’t forget to check out our Grown in Monmouth website, which can be viewed by visiting growninmonmouth. com. Not only can visitors search for restaurants that use products grown in Monmouth County, they can also find pick-your-own destinations and farmers markets, among other events. Speaking of Grown in Monmouth, I would like to remind all restaurants t h roug hout Mon mout h

County to sign up to participate in the first-ever Grown in Monmouth Restaurant Week, which will run from Sunday, July 28 through Sunday, August 4. As the liaison to the County’s Division of Economic Development, I am proud that we have created an event that will promote both our local businesses and our local farmers at no cost to them. Those interested in participating in the first-ever Grown in Monmouth Restaurant Week can signup by contacting the Monmouth County Division of Economic Development by phone at 732-431-7470 or by email at econdev@ visitmonmouth.com. On a separate note, I would like to congratulate all of our high school graduates. I had the honor of attending several graduation ceremonies, including Communications High School, Academy of Allied Health and Sciences High School and High Technology High School. It’s always nice to hear about their achieve-

ments before they even graduate. I wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Speaking of graduations, I also attended the Monmouth County Fire Academy Class 123 and 124 graduations with my fellow Freeholders. It was an honor to attend and speak to the graduates. I am very proud of these young men and women and wish them the best of luck, as well as, thank them for their service to our community! Another event I attended last week was the Eatontown Industrial Park Association’s Business Luncheon with Sheriff Shaun Golden. During this event the sheriff and I gave presentations about county government and how we support our business industry. I was able to touch upon important initiatives the county offers to help our business industry succeed such as, Grown in Monmouth and Made in Monmouth. Serving as liaison to the County’s Division of Economic Development, I take great pride in hosting events like Made in Monmouth. When I created this program shortly after I joined the Board of Chosen Freeholders, my goal was to focus my attention on small
consumer product manufacturers located within Monmouth County to help them grow their businesses. I encourage all small businesses in Monmouth County to take advantage of these great programs that we offer. Additionally, those traveling throughout Monmouth County may have noticed an increase in the amount of road work being completed. With warmer weather, this is the time of year when our County department of public works and engineering can complete numerous projects. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we have the best employees who are truly passionate about and take great pride in their work. Updating our infrastructure is one of our main initiatives and this includes numerous construction and reconst r uction projects around the county. One project I would like to mention is the construction improvements to Palmer Avenue (County Route 7) and the reconstruction of County Culvert H-5A in the townships of Holmdel and Middletown. As you may recall, Palmer Avenue (County Route 7) runs along the municipal boundary of Holmdel and Middletown Townships, and the county
worked closely with both towns on advancing this important project. This project is the result of a close collaboration between elected officials and professionals of both municipalities and the county to address flooding along Palmer Avenue during intense rain events which necessitates closing the roadway. The scope of the project will include, but is not limited to, the rising of Palmer Avenue between 2 and 3 feet, the installation of a drainage system and the replacement of the existing culvert H-5A. The sidewalk on the Middletown side of the roadway will also be replaced to meet ADA (Americans with Disability Act) standards and a new ADA compliant sidewalk will be installed on the Holmdel side of Palmer Avenue to improve access for pedestrians. This is just one of the many projects we’re proud of around the entire county. It is always a good day when we can announce a construction project that benefits our communities. Lastly, I want to wish the residents of Monmouth County a safe and happy summer season! As always, it’s a privilege to serve as your Monmouth County Freeholder.

Write Your Memoir Five Minutes at a Time
HOWELL – Write Your Memoir Five Minutes at a Time will be held at Howell Library, 1-2:30 p.m., July 17. Unlike autobiography, memoir is based on the idea that everyone has a story to tell, a story that matters. Writing memoir asks that one awaken and be guided by empathy towards oneself and others. In this way, memoir prompts a journey of self-discovery that enables writers to gain insight into their past. Through valuable lessons in the craft of memoir, the exploration of editorial revisions, and invaluable writing suggestions, participants learn how to develop a writing practice and continue their writing life beyond the session. Presented by Edvige Giunta, Ph.D., professor of English, New Jersey City University. Dr.
Giunta has taught writing workshops since 1997, guiding many writers through the writing journey. She has published several books on Italian American literature and culture and was featured in the New York Times and RAI. Her memoir, essays, poems, translations and flash nonfiction have been published in many anthologies and journals. Participants are asked to bring a notebook and pen. Registration is requested. This program has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the New Jersey Council for the Humanities (NJCH). Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the NEH or NJCH.

Freeholders Table “Sanctuary State” Resolution
FREEHOLD – The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders tabled the resolution in opposition to the “Sanctuary State” policy of the Governor of the State of New Jersey at its regular public meeting on Wednesday, June 26 in Freehold. “Our Board prides itself on making well informed decisions on behalf of our residents and wants further information before acting on this matter,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone. “It is also important to note that my fellow Freeholders and I are not categorizing the documented, lawful group of citizens with illegal immigrants.” The Board of Chosen Freeholders and County Counsel will work to revise the tabled resolution to accurately reflect their intentions while
considering the potential effects of the quality of County services on residents. “We understand that Monmouth County is a melting pot of individuals who have contributed immensely to the County’s economic development,” said Freeholder Director Arnone. “The Board of Chosen Freeholders has always offered unconditional support to all 53 municipalities, businesses and most importantly, the documented residents who have called Monmouth County their home for decades.” The revised resolution will not appear on the Freeholder meeting agenda until further research is conducted by Monmouth County.

The Orchards at Bartley Achieves Advanced Standing
JACKSON – The Orchards at Bartley Assisted Living, located on the Bartley Healthcare campus at 100 North County Line Road in Jackson, NJ, has once again received the Advanced Standing designation from the New Jersey Department of Health. The Orchards at Bartley has received Advanced Standing recognition every year since the inception of the program in 2012. Advanced Standing is a voluntary program that assisted living communities choose to participate in to demonstrate their commitment to excellence. The designation is confirmation of successful compliance with all state, federal and local regulations that pertain to licensed assisted living facilities in the state of New Jersey. Additionally, the organizations that achieve Advanced Standing, prove their dedication to quality by participating in the National Center for Assisted Living’s Quality Performance Measures Survey and meet the benchmarks for certain prescribed quality indicators as chosen by the Peer Review Panel of the Health Care Association of the New Jersey Foundation. Noel Peters, the Executive Director of the
Orchards at Bartley, praised his team for the care and services that they provide every day to meet the needs of the residents and enhance the quality of their lives. This high level of quality care with a focus on constant improvement and innovation is the reason that Bartley is a leader of health and eldercare services and has maintained an excellent reputation for over 34 years. Bartley Healthcare is family owned and operated and has been repeatedly recognized for superior healthcare and eldercare services. Both Bartley Healthcare Nursing and Rehabilitation and The Orchards at Bartley Assisted Living have been honored with awards on the local, state and national levels and have received the AHCA/NCAL (American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living) Silver Quality Awards, as well as the Joint Commission accreditation for their Sub-Acute Rehabilitation and Memory Care units. Anyone needing information about assisted living, independent living, respite care, memory care, skilled nursing or rehabilitation can contact Bartley Healthcare at 732-370-4700 or visit their website bartleyhealthcare.com.

Around The Jersey Shore OceanFirst Foundation Awards $100,000 In Summer Camp Scholarship Grants
TOMS RIVER – OceanFirst Foundation of Toms River had awarded $100,000 in grants to 35 central and southern New Jersey charities in the OceanFirst Bank footprint to provide summer camp experiences to children in need of safe, affordable and fun camp programs. Participating partners may provide camp scholarships of up to $250 per child. On Thursday, May 30, 2019, executives from OceanFirst Foundation hosted an event at The Community YMCA’s Camp Zehnder, in Wall Township to present the grants. In addition to The Community YMCA, grants were awarded to Allies in Caring (Hammonton); American Littoral Society (Highlands); Atlantic Women’s Charitable Organization/AAUW (Absecon); Barnegat Bay Decoy & Baymen’s Museum (Tuckerton); Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City (Atlantic City); Boys & Girls Club of Monmouth County (Asbury Park); Boy Scouts, Garden State Council (Westampton); Boy Scouts, Jersey Shore Council (Toms River); Boy Scouts, Monmouth Council (Morganville); Cape Assist (Wildwood); Cape May Stage (Cape May); Chariot Riders (Manchester); Collier Youth Services (Wickatunk); Complete Health Care/Community Health Care (Bridgeton); Concerned Citizens of Whitesboro (Whitesboro); Conserve Wildlife Foundation (Leonardo); Eagle Theatre (Hammonton); Egg Harbor Township Police Athletic League (Egg Harbor Township); Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey (Cherry Hill); Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore (Toms River); Jazz Arts Project (Red Bank); Learning Disabilities Organization of Monmouth
& Ocean (Amp Zone) (Bayville); Levoy Theatre (Millville); Millville Development Corp. (Millville); National Inventors Hall of Fame (Bayville); New Jersey Audubon Nature Center of Cape May (Cape May); Ocean City Arts Center (Cape May); Phoenix Productions (Red Bank); The Southwest Council (Vineland); St. Francis Center/ LBICC (Long Beach Township); United Advocacy Group (Bridgeton); United Way of Monmouth & Ocean Counties (Farmingdale); YMCA, Ocean County (Toms River) and YMCA of the Pines (Medford). “The 2019 summer camp season is upon us and we know that for many families it can be a challenge to afford engaging camp experiences. So we’ve partnered with some of the best nonprofits we know to help send kids to camp this summer. Campers will be able to experience everything from art and theater camps to camps that focus on STEM, and New Jersey’s coastal environment,” said Katherine Durante, Executive Director of OceanFirst Foundation. Eileen Higgins, CEO, Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, stated “We have quite a number of girls that we are going to work with in outreach who can not afford summer camp and it’s over 10% of our campers. So this helps offset the cost of their coming to camp so that we can continue to provide them the same camp that everyone else gets. So they are not singled out. They are just here as registered campers and we can now offer them financial aid through grants and discounted grants. Thank you very much to OceanFirst for continuing to support Girl Scouts.”
CASA for Children of Monmouth County Seeks Volunteers
COLTS NECK – Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children (CASA for Children) of Monmouth County is seeking adults, 21 years and older to act as advocates for children in foster care. A CASA volunteer is a trained citizen who is appointed by a Judge to represent the best interests of a child in court. There are currently 550 children from Monmouth County who have been removed from their homes because of abuse or neglect. Although CASA for Children of Monmouth County continues to serve more of these children each year, the need for CASA volunteers continues to grow as more children enter the child welfare and court systems. To help meet this need, CASA is seeking caring, committed adults who are willing to speak up for a child as they go through the court system. CASA volunteers work one-on-one with an abused or neglected child, advocating for his or her best interests. Essentially, CASA volunteers “speak up” for these children in the court and child welfare systems, making sure they are safe and well-cared for, are getting
the services they need, and are placed in a permanent, safe, nurturing home as quickly as possible. These children may also have health, learning, emotional, or psychological challenges, and need special services that the Court should be aware of via the CASA volunteer’s updates. “CASA volunteers don’t require any specific education. All they need is compassion, objectivity, and a commitment to children. We’ll train and supervise them to be effective voices in court,” said Cynthia Van Brunt, Executive Director for CASA for Children of Monmouth County. “Our volunteers come from all walks of life, and diverse socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. They are ordinary individuals who rise to the extraordinary by making a difference in the life of a child.” Anyone interested in volunteer opportunities should visit casaofmonmouth.org for upcoming information sessions and program details or contact Lynn Goelz at 732-460-9100 Email: lynn@casaforchildrenmc.org for more information.

MRHS Junior Attends “Civics Education: Preparing the Next Generation of Informed and Engaged Citizens” Program
MARLBORO – Manisha Vadali recently had the opportunity to take part in a civics engagement conference in New York City. The Marlboro High School junior is currently an Ambassador Girl Scout with Troop 1947 serving as a girl representative on the Board of Directors for the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore, in addition to being a part of the Social Action Committee. The Social Action Committee of the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore traveled to New York City earlier this month to join bi-partisan leaders in discussing the impor tance of engaging today’s youth in civics. “Civics Education: Preparing the Next Generation of Informed and Engaged Citizens,” was a collaboration between the Girl Scouts of the USA and the Clinton Foundation, to give community leaders, public officials, and education experts, the opportunity to discuss how out-of-school civics programs can prepare the next
generation to be involved citizens with a deeper understanding of government. The event consisted of many inf luential presenters along with a panel d i s c u s s io n m o d e r a t e d b y C h el s e a Clinton. On the panel was Laura Dove, Republican Secretary of the U.S. Senate; Lauren Hoaglund, Gold Award Girl Scout; Dr. Emma Humphries, Chief Education Officer of iCivics; and Attorney General Letitia James, Attorney General for the State of New York. Ms. Clinton prompted the panelists to discuss topics such as how to reach out to local and national representatives, how to research information to determine fact from fiction, and how to help push civic engagement. After the event, Manisha visited the Gi rl Scout s Nat ional Hea dqu a r ter s where she was able to view Girl Scout artifacts and speak with the Chief Executive Officer of Girl Scouts of the USA Sylvia Acevedo.

5 Natural Ways To Treat A Diaper Rash
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Diaper rashes generate misery and sleepless nights for all involved! When my children were babies, I would prioritize this condition so that we could all sleep in peace. I would mix different things like essential oils or clay into the commercial creams, working tirelessly to find the perfect, soothing balm for my children. A rash can be caused by a pathogen like yeast/fungus or bacterial organisms. Sometimes the rash can result from sensitivities to fragrances, alcohol and artificial chemicals found in diapers or wet wipes. In fact, some popular diaper rash balms happen to contain petrolatum, but unfortunately, is could be contaminated with toxic chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Baby powder is no longer recommended due to the lung-related health issues that talcum powder is now associated with. What’s a parent to do?! Today I will share 5 natural ways to treat a rash: 1. Use as few chemicals as possible. There are hundreds of potentially harmful chemicals in some baby products, even those advertised as “gentle.” As for laundry detergents, use unscented versions. You might also look for preservative or chlorine-free disposable diapers. Some parents opt to protect the environment and their baby all at once by using cloth (washable) diapers. As for cleaning up, there are unscented, alcohol-free baby wipes too! 2. Make homemade cream. Here’s a DIY cream you can try. Mix together two table-
spoons shea butter, one tablespoon coconut oil, two tablespoons zinc oxide, 2 teaspoons bentonite clay and 3 drops each of lavender, frankincense and Roman chamomile essential oil. Combine this mixture well and apply to baby’s diaper rash twice daily. 3. Try Epsom Salts. Also known as magnesium sulfate, there are many anecdotal reports of this soothing a rash within minutes. Just pour about one cup of epsom salt into a tub of lukewarm water and let your child soak for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. This is not a daily thing, just do it once, or twice during the week because the magnesium is absorbed into your baby’s body transdermally. 4. Apply Breast Milk. If you’re nursing your baby, then this tip could be a fast, easy way to soothe a rash. Express some milk and apply directly to the diaper rash. It’s strange, I know! Breast milk is high in vitamin D, and other healing compounds, and according to one study, it performed as well as 1% hydrocortisone cream. 5. Baking Soda Soothes. Combine 1 tablespoon baking soda with 3 tablespoons cool water and stir it in a bowl. It should make a thin paste which you can use directly on the skin. You may need to adjust the amounts to make it the consistency that you want. Apply to skin and let it settle on and ‘dry’ for about 5 minutes. Do not rub it off aggressively, but rather rinse it very gently with cool water. Baking soda change the painful acidic pH, and makes its more alkaline, thus easing the pain. If these tips don’t help your baby, please seek the advice of your local pediatrician.

Project:
Continued From Page 1 Any time a lane has to be closed for construction, it will be done at night, according to paperwork provided by the State Department of Transportation. It is expected to be finished in 2024. Generally speaking, the project will be adding a two traffic signals in Lakewood, and address safety and traffic issues by adding turn lanes in key spots. There will also be milling and paving work done. Wider sidewalks compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act would also be installed. Access points to and from properties on Route 9 would be improved to be made safer.
“We expect reductions in travel time,” Hutchinson said. There is a prediction of a decrease in travel times from 15 percent to 45 percent during peak hours. There are a lot of intersections where the traffic pattern won’t change, such as on Cox Cro Road. However, throughout Route 9 there would be improvements in terms of such things as paving, drainage, curbs and sidewalks. Eight intersections would be widened, for example. There will also be two miles of sidewalks added. The plans are still in the final design stage, and as it stands now, these are some of the changes proposed: Whitty Road Route 9 northbound would be widened for

the existing designated right turn lane onto Whitty Road. Southbound Route 9 would be widened for the existing left turn lane onto Whitty Road. Whitty Road’s westbound lane would be split into left and right turn lanes. Church Road On northbound Route 9, there would be a right turn only lane added for drivers going east on Church Road. On southbound Route 9, there would be a left turn only lane added for drivers going east on Church Road. On Church Road, drivers heading west would have two lanes: a left turn only lane and a right turn only lane. Locust/Honey Locust Locust Street (which links Route 70 to Route 9, passing the bowling alley) would be widened near the intersection with Route 9. One lane would go through and left. The other would go right (north on 9). Honey Locust street, which meets Route 9 from the other direction, would be widened as well. A right turn only lane for people going south on 9 would be added. Chestnut Street Westbound on Chestnut would become three lanes: left, straight, and right. Eastbound on Chestnut would become three lanes: left, straight, and right. Chateau/Broadway There would be significant changes near this area, where the big “Center of Town” shopping center is (formerly Chateau Grand and Winkelmann’s Restaurant). Chateau Drive would be realigned with a little curve to the south, so that it can meet Broadway at a new traffic signal there. Chateau would have a left turn only lane at the intersection. So would Broadway. Route 9 would be widened to have left turn only lanes for drivers going north and south. Oak Street Oak Street would get a new traffic signal. Northbound Route 9 would be widened into three lanes: left, through, and right. Southbound Route 9 would be widened to add a left turn only lane. Oak Street westbound would have two lanes: right turn only, and left/through. Just north of that, there is an intersection that is called River Avenue (even though Route 9 is also called River Avenue). That intersection would have left and right turn lanes coming out of the development. Again, just north of that is Hadassah Lane. There would be a left turn only lane from Route 9 north into that development. Spruce Street Left turn lanes would be added to Route 9 in both directions, so that drivers can make lefts onto Spruce from the north or south.
800-603-CARE Check out our podcast on PreferredCompany.net
Spruce is just south of the hospital. Pine Street/James Street Pine Street would be realigned to meet James Street at a safer angle. James Street would get a designated left turn lane onto Route 9 north. Hurley Avenue/Central Avenue This is the intersection by the lakes. The southbound left turn lane would be eliminated. Instead, there would be a second northbound lane. The two remaining southbound lanes would be one through lane and one right turn only onto Central. Where Central and South Lake Drive meet, there would also be changes. Driving west on Central, drivers can make a right onto South Lake. If you are driving on South Lake, you will only be able to make a right onto Central. You won’t be able to merge onto Central and then head to 9. Similarly, people on Caranetta Drive will only be able to make right turns onto Central. They won’t be able to go left on Central. Route 88 On Route 9, the southbound left turning lane leading to Route 88 would be extended by 400 feet. 1st Street A concrete island would be installed on Route 9 at the intersection with 1st Street that would prevent anyone from making left turns onto Route 9 from either direction. Reception Despite people complaining about Route 9 for decades, these plans were presented at a meeting in the Lakewood Municipal Building which was attended by about a dozen people. Those who did attend said it was a long time coming. “We’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” said Larry Grone, owner of Grone’s Wrecker and Recovery, on Route 9. He said that there is a very high accident rate, especially drivers hitting pedestrians, and he hoped that these changes would help. Bill Braden, chairman of the Ocean County Transportation Advisory Board, said he liked the changes overall. He still had some suggestions to make, and the representatives at the meeting were receptive to his ideas, such as looking at how some intersections might not give enough turn radius for big tractor trailers. “There’s not only heavy traffic, but there’s heavy trucks,” so the road must be reinforced to give it a long lifespan, he said. For years, he had suggested that the state buy up land for future expansion of Route 9, but the suggestion fell on deaf ears, he said. Now, the land is more expensive. The state should buy up some land in places like Stafford where there will be more growth in the future, and the land prices haven’t boomed yet, he said.

Inside The Law Who is Josh Haines?
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Michael J. Deem, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Josh Haines was injured in a car crash. His medical treatment left him with more than $25,000 in unpaid medical bills. He sued the person who caused the crash for the cost of his medical treatment. In March 2019, the NJ Supreme Court decided his case. The court ruled that car accident victims have to pay their own medical bills, even if they didn’t cause the accident. The Court ruled that ANY person whose auto policy has less than the “standard” medical benefits limit has to pay for their medical treatment up to $250,000. The court’s ruling has a devastating impact on low-income people who cannot afford to buy auto policies with higher coverage limits. If you are involved in an auto accident, you could be stuck with thousands of dollars in medical expenses, leading to credit problems, bankruptcy, or worse. The insurance industry is thrilled about this decision. And don’t think you are safe if you have health insurance. If your private health insurer pays your medical
bills and you obtain a recovery for your injuries then there is a substantial likelihood Michael J. Deem that you will have to reimburse your health insurer with the monies you received from your award or settlement. Too often this reimbursement scheme leaves the victim with nothing. The NJ Assembly and Senate have passed a bill to fix the Haines decision. It is on Gov. Murphy’s desk. All he has to do is sign it. PLEASE HELP. Call Governor Murphy now at 609-292-6000. CALL GOV. MURPHY Tell the representative who answers the telephone: I AM CALLING TO URGE GOVERNOR MURPHY TO SIGN THE BILL TO FIX HAINES http://starledger.nj.newsmemory.com/ ?publink=087cad7f9 www.whoisjoshhaines.com.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Caught In The Middle? Dear Joel I recently made my son a high school graduation party. My problem is that I refused to allow my ex-husband to join us in the restaurant. My son has been so angry with me that he hardly communicates. I am heartbroken and have been asking myself if I did the wrong thing. Answer: This isn’t a right or wrong story. You made the party and you paid for it. My hunch is that your son has been exposed to this for a long time. His anger may have peaked as he reached this milestone. Your ex could have made him a separate dinner and had his own
guests or invited your son by himself. St op fe el i ng guilty because it is truly worthless. You made an adult decision and often times being an adult is unpleasant. Your son is sensing your guilt and the two of you are suffering for it...It is time for you to graduate to a healthier emotional self. The two of you will enjoy the new you.

Getting to the Core of Lower Back Pain By: Katie Groome, PTA
WHAT IS A “CORE?” Your abdominals or “core” as some people like to call them are actually a group of muscles known as the rectus abdominis, external and internal obliques, transverse abdominis, multifidi, diaphragm, and pelvic floor muscles. The easiest way to think of your “core” is to think of a box: the roof is the diaphragm, the walls are multifidi and transverse abdominis and the floor is the pelvic floor muscles. WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT? Without having a strong base of support or “core,” the body must rely more heavily on other muscles due to imbalances. For this reason these muscles are often known as your stabilizers as they allow the rest of your body to move properly. Simple everyday activities such as walking, lifting, bending over to tie your shoes or playing sports may become painful to complete. I HAVE A SIX PACK SO DOESN’T THAT MEAN I HAVE A STRONG CORE? Not exactly. A six pack looks aesthetically pleasing, however, unless you train your inner abdominal muscles, it is only a matter of time before you end up with an injury; in fact the six pack does not involve the entire “core” it is mostly comprised of the rectus abdominis. The rectus is unable to support itself without assistance from other muscles located in your abdominal cavity. It can even compress your spine and cause pain if over worked. I SUFFER FROM BACK PAIN, CAN I STILL WORK ON MY CORE? Yes, you can. If you suffer from back pain, your doctor may recommend you see a physical
therapist. Physical therapists are licensed professionals who are medically trained to help patients decrease pain, improve strength, increase mobility, and improve function. A physical therapist can evaluate your symptoms and design a program for you, which will allow you to strengthen your “core” without causing back pain, while preventing injury. I WANT TO START A CORE EXERCISE PROGRAM, BUT I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START? It is recommended that you consult a professional before beginning any exercise program. If you would like to strengthen your “core” or inner abdominal stabilizers, let’s first start with the basics by strengthening two important muscles: the transverse abdominis (TA) and diaphragm. Lying down on your back with your knees bent, gently tighten your stomach in towards your belly button. Hold for 5 seconds without holding your breath. You can repeat this 10 times. This exercise isn’t easy however it is extremely important as these muscles are being contracted when we lift or move. You should be able to hold a conversation and contract your abdomen at the same time. Another exercise is called diaphragmatic breathing. As with the exercise mentioned above it is designed to strengthen your inner stabilizers. To start the exercise you can either lie down or sit upright in a chair with your feet planted firmly on the floor. Place one hand on your abdomen and the other on your chest. Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose and allow your stomach to rise, then blow the air out of your mouth as if you are blowing out a candle. Do NOT hold your breath. Diaphragmatic breathing is very relaxing, and
easy to complete with practice. In conclusion, back pain can result from weakness of the abdominals and back muscles. This weakness causes the back to work harder which results in back pain. As a result of “core” strengthening, the back is able to increase its flexibility which it needs to support the spine.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE Dr. Louis Napolitano Offers State-Of-The-Art Dental Care
By Robert Verderese Smile and the whole world will smile with you is a saying that you have probably heard before. It’s incredible how simply smiling can make such a dramatic difference in your outlook—and those around you. For those who are not confident with their smiles they might hesitate or avoid smiling altogether, which is truly unfortunate. This is where Dr. Louis Napolitano, DMD, in Jackson, NJ could really make a huge difference in a person’s life. Along with his associate Dr. llan Gamburg, office manager Laurie Abramowitz, and his wonderful staff, Dr. Napolitano offers a one-stop shop for state-of-the-art dental care for you and your family. Louis Napolitano was born and raised in Union City and now lives in Howell with his wife. He completed his undergraduate studies in chemistry from Georgetown University and subsequently attended dental school at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, where he graduated as a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon—a national honor society for dental schools. When asked why he chose to
become a dentist, Dr. Napolitano replied: “I always had an interest in, and aptitude for, the natural sciences so I decided to major in chemistry as an undergraduate. While in College, I realized that I wanted to work in a field where I could use my abilities to positively impact the lives of others. As I considered my options, I discovered that dentistry would be the perfect occupation for me—allowing me to use my skills to optimize a patient’s oral health which contributes to their overall general health and well-being.” As someone who believes it is important to keep abreast of the most recent technological advances in dentistry, Dr. Napolitano is an avid member of many professional organizations where he studies the latest techniques and technology in the profession. One bit of technology that Dr. Napolitano is particularly excited about is the state-ofthe-art Solea—the only FDA approved C02 laser used for hard tissue (teeth) and soft tissue (gums) procedures. This incredible laser technology possesses a unique wavelength which functions as an alternate to the tradi-
tional drill in the majority of dental procedures. “The Solea laser technology is wonderful in that it totally takes the anxiety out of dentistry. Everybody knows someone who is petrified of needles—perhaps your children or even yourself—and as such avoids receiving treatment they desperately need. For these people, Solea is the obvious solution to their dental woes. By not having to administer needles, I am able to deliver virtually painless procedures to my patients, invariably bringing a smile to their faces and to mine!” Dr. Napolitano says. Another benef it of this breakthrough laser technology is that it allows for a more efficient dental experience for patients. With Solea, you can have a cavity or filling done in a flash, which allows patients to resume their daily activities—go back to work or out to lunch—without any discomfort. Also, given that Solea is less invasive than traditional dental procedures, healing is much quicker. And as an added bonus, there are no fee increases or additional charge for performing the Solea laser restoration for a patient. In a word, Dr. Napolitano aptly explains this new laser technology in the following way: “Solea provides an overall wonderful experience for my patients and is changing the way we practice dentistry while changing the lives of the people we care about most—our patients!” In addition to the Solea, Dr. Napolitano’s practice offers a full-range of dental services, including general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery and implant dentistry. “In the past you were sent somewhere else,” Dr. Napolitano explains. “My vision was to create a state-of-the-art facility where all of a patient’s treatment could be provided in one practice.” Did you know there is a link between oral health and overall health? Indeed, the latest medical research clearly confirms this connection: “We’re not just interested in teeth and cavities,” Dr. Napolitano says. “We’re interested in the whole person—everything about our patient’s health.” Dr. Napolitano notes that those who have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes are more likely to develop gum disease. “Many diabetics have a decreased ability to fight
Dr. Louis Napolitano, DMD bacterial infections, including those that occur in the mouth.” A lot of chronic pain can also be traced to underlying dental issues, such as migraines—even heart disease! So what can you do to protect your oral—and overall— health? Well, for starters, Dr. Napolitano stresses the importance of regular oral hygiene at home: “You should brush your teeth three times a day, use dental floss on a consistent basis, and use a mouth rinse with fluoride daily.” Although good preventive oral health begins at home, it doesn’t end there. To be
sure, the full spectrum of preventive dental care must always include routine cleanings by dental professionals. Patients should come in for a professional cleaning and oral cancer screening exams at least twice a year. This dental practice is crucial in that not only will you be able to have plaque and tartar removed from your teeth, but you will also be given a thorough examination of your whole mouth. Dr. Napolitano and his team are committed to making patients feel as comfortable as possible and to develop relationships with each patient: “Every member of our team takes tremendous
pride in providing the most compassionate care to all of our patients and to make them feel as comfortable as humanly possible,” Dr. Napolitano says. “We make every one of our patients feel like they are part of our family.” To get more information about Dr. Napolitano’s practice, you can call his office at 732-905-2488 or visit his website at louisnapolitanodmd.com. The office hours are Monday 9:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Tuesday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Wednesday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Thursday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Dr. Napolitano’s office is conveniently located at 2046 West County Line Road, Suite 2 in Jackson, NJ.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 6 - july 12
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Postpone what you can; it would be wise to put some things on hold until next week when you can give them your complete attention. You are savvy about finances but remember that a salesperson may have their own agenda. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do the needed self-care to get through the week. It may be difficult to negotiate a better deal or to make money as an entrepreneur right now. Look forward to Independence Day when you can relax. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can sweet talk your way through every change in plans. However, in the early part of the week you might not hear many sweet words from loved ones who could be too wrapped up in business to be very attentive. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your best ideas take flight when you are flying under the radar. Avoid making major purchases or decisions about investments in the week ahead. Some wishful thinking could be inspiring but make decisions based on facts. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Crush it like a boss. If you must make a presentation or speak in public people will hang on to your every word. It may be wise to wait until after the Fourth of July holiday to put your creative ideas into action. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When the wind is at your back it is easier to move forward. You may meet little resistance to your ideas in the week ahead, but it may be wise not to rush into implementation. Give people time to absorb data. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It is all a
matter of perspective. Be empathetic enough to see things from the other side and act accordingly. Whenever you are in the work environment this week it will be necessary to give people credit for their assistance. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Making more money from your current job may be difficult at this time, and there may be little wiggle room for negotiations. You may choose to work harder than usual in the week ahead so that you are able to take time off. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your business instincts are in fine form, but you may hesitate to push your own agenda this week. Your sympathies may be stirred to the point that you fear offending anyone with crass discussions of money. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Often in life when you reach a peak another mountain appears. You may feel like it’s difficult to stay abreast of continuing education courses or required qualifications. Remain optimistic in the week ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Money mix-ups could provide some comic relief in the week to come but remain on your toes so that muddles and foul-ups don’t cause losses. Keep your cash in your pocket and count your change at the checkout. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Being creative or spending time developing concepts may be right up your alley. Unfortunately, the world demands that you focus on concrete contributions. Don’t be vague about details in the upcoming week.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Sweet Celebration: My Gluten-Free, Vegan Cupcakes By Wolfgang Puck When celebrating holidays, many of us pay just as much attention to the food as we do the fireworks. But what should we serve? Hot dogs, hamburgers, ribs or chicken? Why not all four? Baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw? They all sound good! What about dessert? Of course, there will be ice cream. But it almost goes without saying that you’ll also need some sort of baked good as well. More and more, though, when I mention baked goods to friends or restaurant guests, a pair of issues comes up that I used to never hear about. First is the increasing number of people who are trying to follow vegan diets free of any animal products, including dairy. On top of that, it seems that every day somebody tells me they’ve switched to a gluten-free diet; whether they’re dealing with celiac disease or eliminating gluten for other health-related reasons, they no longer eat wheat, the main source of gluten, or other of the many ingredients or processed foods that may contain traces of the substance. So, holiday, I’d like to propose making a dessert that will help your friends - and you- declare your independence from animal products and gluten alike. My catering team and I originally developed the following gluten-free, vegan cupcake recipe to serve at the Governors Ball reception following the Academy Awards ceremony; but it’s a treat that anyone can enjoy year-round. And by “anyone,” I also mean people who may not be following vegan or gluten-free diets. These cupcakes are absolutely delicious in their own right, featuring a tender, moist cake with a rich chocolate flavor made all the more intense with the help of some freshly brewed coffee. The luscious frosting gets its creaminess from a combination of coconut oil, almond milk and soy milk powder. You can find all the ingredients you’ll need - including gluten-free baking flour, potato starch, and arrowroot and xanthan gum powders - in the baking aisle of any well-stocked supermarket today; or online, with most suppliers able to ship them to you within just a few days. If you’re packing the cupcakes to take to an at-home party or picnic, be sure to put them in a rigid, airtight container and keep them someplace cool so that the frosting doesn’t melt. Just one more word of caution: Keep looking up in the sky for the fireworks, because otherwise your attention may be focused on dessert alone!

FROSTING: 1 1/2 cups plain or vanilla-flavored almond milk 3/4 cup soy milk powder
1/4 cup agave nectar 1 tablespoon coconut extract 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups coconut oil 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice CUPCAKES: 1 3/4 cups all-purpose gluten-free baking flour 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup potato starch 1/4 cup arrowroot powder 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum powder 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 1/3 cups agave nectar 1 cup hot brewed dark-roast coffee 1 cup coconut oil 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce 3 tablespoons pure vanilla extract Prepare the frosting at least 6 hours ahead. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, combine the almond milk, soy milk powder, agave nectar, coconut extract and vanilla. Process for 2 minutes. With the machine running, slowly pour in half of the coconut oil through the feed tube; then half of the lemon juice; and then the remaining half of each. Continue processing until thoroughly blended. Pour the frosting into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until it has firmed up enough to spread, about 6 hours. For the cupcakes, position the oven rack in the middle level and preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins or four standard-sized 6-cup muffin tins with paper cupcake liners. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, potato starch, arrowroot, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt. Stir well with a wire whisk until thoroughly blended. In a separate bowl, combine the agave nectar, hot coffee, coconut oil, applesauce and vanilla. Stir with a whisk until thoroughly blended. Add this wet mixture all at once to the dry ingredients. Stir with a whisk until a smooth batter forms. Transfer the batter to a large measuring cup, or use a ladle, and pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups until each is nearly full. Transfer to the middle rack of the preheated oven. After 15 minutes, rotate the tins front to back and continue baking until the cupcakes rise nicely, look firm and spring back when gently pressed at their centers, about 7 minutes longer. Remove the tins from the oven, and leave the cupcakes to rest in the tins at room temperature for 20 minutes. Then, remove the cupcakes from the tins and leave on wire racks to cool completely. When the cupcakes have cooled completely, use an icing spatula to spread the frosting on top of each one. Serve immediately, or store in a single layer in an airtight container at cool room temperature.
