By Chris Lundy BERKELEY – There was a lot to see at the Ocean County Fair – and a lot to learn, touch, and talk about, too. The fair, which runs for five days at the Robert J. Miller Airpark
in Berkeley, expanded offerings to be more hands-on this year. Sure, there was still the usual rides and boardwalk-style games. And fair food like popcorn, roasted peanuts, Italian sausage, cotton

candy and ice cream. Vendors were selling clothing and jewelry, and booths were set up for government services, politicians, and political hopefuls. But this year, there was more of an inter-
active feel to it. The 4-H Club, which has long had a close association with the fair, had made some changes. While there had always been a horse demonst ration, this (Fair - See Page 4)

Lawyers Wrangle Over Banquet Hall Proposal By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - Is a banquet hall the same as a restaurant? It took 10 attorneys and three city planners four hours to argue and give testimony on this question for an application to continue before the Board of Adjustment. Vilamoura, LLC wants to build a 48,660-square-foot facility at the site of Barnegat Bay Marina, located on the south side of the Mantoloking Bridge. At issue was the question of whether the facility would need a Use Variance in the B-2 Business Zone since banquet halls are not an approved use for the site, while restaurants are an approved use. The board voted unanimously that the two were the same after township planner Tara Paxton and township zoning officer Christopher J. Romano testified that there is no language in the township code that distinguishes between the two. “I don’t think of them as separate uses,” Paxton said. “I see a restaurant and a banquet facility as interchangeable, and that is how we have treated them for 18 years in Brick.” Romano agreed. “Restaurants are used as

Brick Officials Against Flood Insurance Changes By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK - Townships like Brick who have done the hard work needed to get into FEMA’s Community Ratings System (CRS) should be exempt from recent changes made to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). So said Mayor John G. Ducey during the July 9 council meeting before the governing body voted on and passed a resolution that urges legislators to oppose and seek changes to the reauthorization of the NFIP. On June 12, the House Financial Services Committee unanimously approved a bill that (Flood - See Page 26)

Fair:
Continued From Page 1 time there was a fenced in area closer to where people could see them. A child talked about the horses and answered questions. There were activities about horses nearby. All of the 4-H exhibits were under one huge tent. Instead of specific squares where the rabbits or fowl are, for example, the cages now snaked along one side, creating a natural flow of traffic. The seeing eye dog demonstrations also told visitors about their training. These moments were not lost on the fairgoers. Deen Dougherty of Manahawkin shared what she learned from the seeing eye demo, and happily was able to pet one of the dogs. She was able to take time with the trainer, and speak one-on-one with her about the animals. She was there with her sister, Joyce Sullivan of Manahawkin. One event was a little too interactive except for the most brave. This was the High Flying Pages thrill show. This featured acrobats and two motorcyclists riding inside a metal sphere.
In one instance, they brought an audience member into the sphere. A staff member kept her safe while the motorcyclist ran circles around her. “We come every year. It’s a nice family tradition,” said Bernie Meyer of Berkeley. His family was at a booth where people could walk through a butterfly garden. They had sponges soaked with sugar water and were taught how to interact safely with the delicate creatures. The butterfly show was the most commented about attraction this year, reported Jeff Adams, fair manager. “We lost Thursday with the rain,” he said. “But even with the heat, people came out” on the other days. He estimated there were at least 50,000 guests coming through the fair over the five days. The chainsaw carver, Dennis Beach, provided several pieces to the fair and people were able to watch him work. As people bought the pieces at the fair’s main table, several said they had looked him up online to see what kind of work he does, Adams said. He won an international competition in 2017. So, even with this rustic hobby, people are using the internet to learn more.

Lawyers:
Continued From Page 1 banquet facilities, and banquet facilities are used as restaurants,” he said. “It is a permitted use.” This was the second hearing for the application. During the first hearing on May 1, opposing attorneys included Mantoloking Borough attorney Jean Cipriani and Gerald Darling, representing Marion J. Lee, whose home on Beaton Road shares a property line with the Vilamoura property. At the time, Cipriani argued that Mantoloking residents hadn’t received a formal notice of the meeting as required by municipal land use law for anyone living within a 200-foot radius of the property. John Jackson, the attorney for Vilamoura, said that Brick’s engineering department and tax assessor’s map prove that the border of Mantoloking is 747 feet from the 19-acre site. Plans for the building include a seasonal dock-and-dine oyster and shrimp bar on the ground level, a year-round restaurant on the first floor, and the top two floors dedicated for a banquet hall with space large enough to accommodate up to 350 wedding guests. During the recent July 10 hearing, additional opposing attorneys were present, including Michelle Donato for the environmental group Save Barnegat Bay; Edward Gasiorowski, representing the borough of Mantoloking; and Edward Liston representing the Mantoloking Yacht Club. During the lengthy meeting, the attorneys tackled the minutiae of differences between
The Brick Times, July 20, 2019, Page 5 banquet halls and restaurants, including parking; the number of kitchens in a facility; the number of seats; how often each would be open; eating and drinking uses for both; and much more. A city planner hired by Vilamoura, Christine Nazzaro Cofone, cited other facilities in Brick that have banquet facilities, including Beacon 70, Villa Vittoria and River Rock restaurants. She produced a copy of the Planning Board document that approved Beacon 70’s use as a restaurant and banquet hall. “That’s how your planner and your zoning officers have interpreted this ordinance,” said Cofone. “The use of a facility as a restaurant and a banquet facility has been determined as a permitted use by the township planner.” She said the zoning is irrelevant to the use and that banquet halls and restaurants exist under the same umbrella. City planner Andrew Thomas, hired by the Mantoloking Borough legal team, testified that he believes restaurants and banquet halls have separate defi nitions, and that the project would therefore need a D-1 use variance as well as a D-6 height variance. All board members agreed with Paxton and Romano; going forward the project would only require a height variance from the Board of Adjustment since the area is zoned for buildings no higher than 38.5 feet. But before the height variance for the 82.2-foot tall proposed structure is tackled, Donato (representing Save Barnegat Bay) said she would like to bring in an additional planner for the next hearing, scheduled for Aug. 21 at 7 p.m.

Point Pleasant Pedestrian Safety
POINT PLEASANT – Pedestrian safety is a key issue in our community, and the Point Pleasant Police Department is committed to upholding pedestrian safety laws to protect our citizens. Most recently, on July 1, 2019, a pedestrian enforcement and education program was conducted which specifically focused on drivers and pedestrians who were violating right-of-way laws. As a result of Monday’s program, 16 citations were issued and an untold number of citizens were educated. The Point Pleasant Police Department strongly encourages members of the community to follow basic safe practices: • Drivers should be on the lookout for and stop for pedestrians. • Drivers should stop for pedestrians in a crosswalk and stay stopped until the pedestrian is two traffic lanes away or
has reached the sidewalk. • Pedestrians should use a crosswalk when crossing the street and obey pedestrian signals. • Pedestrians should look both ways for traffic before crossing and ensure cars are yielding before crossing. Remember that having the right-of-way does not prevent you from being seriously injured by a driver who is not paying attention. Traffic safety is everyone’s personal responsibility. • Pedestrians should wear bright colored, reflective clothing and use a flashlight when walking during hours of darkness. Be visible! The Point Pleasant Police Department is committed to doing our part to keep the community safe. We urge every member of the community to help by keeping themselves safe and by following basic rules of the road.

Bill Would Protect Small Business Owners Hiring Reservists
WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) and Congressman Ti m Bu rchet t ( T N- 02) introduced H.R. 3661, the Patriotic Employer Protection Act, which would strengthen programs intended to protect small business owners whose employees are militar y Reser vists deployed on active duty. “Across Burlington and Ocean Counties, I’ve seen small busi ness ow ner s who have done the right thing by hiring military Reser vists for key po -
sitions but worr y about t he u nc e r t a i nt y p o s e d if they’re transferred to active duty and deployed overseas,” said Congressman Kim. “This bipartisan bill would strengthen key programs and give these patriotic small business owners the peace of m i nd t hey need to put more of our Reservists to work without wor r ying if a si ngle deploy ment will severely impact their business.” The Patriotic Employer Protection Act would restructure Military Re-
servist Economic Injury Disaster Loan (MREIDL) program and the Repayment Deferral for Active Duty Reservists program so that they better ref lect the cur rent deployment trends of Reservists. The bill would allow these programs to be used for any Reservists being ordered to active duty for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, broadening the program to more people in need.

Bill Would Legislate Treatment Of Migrant Children In U.S. Care WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker (both D-N.J.) joined Senators Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) in introducing the Stop Cruelty to Migrant Children Act. This new legislation, supported by more than three dozen Senators, would put an end to the Trump administration’s cruel and neglectf ul treatment of children at the U.S.-Mexico border and reform how children fleeing persecution are treated between the moment at which they arrive at our borders to claim asylum and the ultimate resolution of their asylum case. “As the Administration continues to implement their anti-im mig rant agenda by incarcerating asylum-seeking families, shutting ports of entr y, forcing children to stay in fi lthy conditions as a way to deter immigrants from coming to our countr y, it’s our responsibility to demand accountabilit y,
protect these individuals and ensure gover nment funds are not used to further traumatize or harm asylum seekers,” said Menendez. “This critical legislation will first and foremost protect children and families at the border, provide real solutions to the growing humanitarian crisis including alternatives to detention, stopping family separation and ensuring migrants are treated humanely and afforded the due process they deserve.” “All of the recent reports of abuse and neglect of children by this administration are horrifying the American people, but are the predictable byproduct of t he racism a nd d iscrimination that drive the policies of this president and his appointees,” said Merkley. “No moral or religious tradition in the world condones hurting children to send a political message - but that is exactly what the Trump administration has done. We need a strong response to stop the cruelty at the border and ensure that our nation treats these vulnerable children as we should,
with respect, dignity, and compassion.” “Democrats continue to propose real solutions to the same immigration problems the president complains about,” said Schumer. “We have legislation ready to go that would strengthen our asylum system, allowing immigrants to apply in their home cou nt r ies; would hire more judges, to reduce the backlog of cases; and provide the security assistance Central American countries need to crack down on the drug cartels and gangs that send so many of their citizens fleeing. This new legislation will establish clear mandatory guardrails for the appropriate and humane treatment of children and families - it’s a necessary step to restore America’s moral credibility and an example of how we can deal with our immigration issues with dignity and common sense and we will fight to make it a reality.” “As a former teacher, a mother, and as a grandmother I am appalled by the heartbreaking reports (Bill - See Page 23)

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Everyone Should Be Able To Vote In Primaries Last month, 7.7 percent of New Jersey voters went to the polls to vote in party primaries that were, for the most part, noncompetitive. That was hailed as an increase from the 3 percent that voted four years ago. Americans are deeply concerned about our country - just look at the level of volunteering and charitable giving in New Jersey and nationally. We care what happens. So why is voter participation so low? Not apathy. It’s failed political system that lacks transparency, is divisive, controlled by party insiders and overly reliant on campaign contributions. We represent the 2.4 million independent voters that were locked out of the primaries. There are more voters registered as unaffiliated in NJ than in either of the major political parties. It’s hypocritical to bemoan participation
rates when you exclude 40 percent of the registered voters in the state. As leaders of New Jersey Independent Voters (Sue Davies) and No Labels New Jersey (Steve Barratt), we are advocating for the New Jersey Democratic and Republican Parties to Open the 2020 Presidential Primaries to all New Jersey independents. Independents across our state want to participate in the presidential primary process without having to compromise their independence. Our tax dollars pay for these elections and we deserve to be heard. The parties have the opportunity to broaden the conversation and participation in 2020. It is time for a democracy experiment.

Read The Mueller Report The Mueller Report, issued April 18, 2019, by the Department of Justice consists of 2 Volumes, with a Table of Contents preceding each volume. It is more or less 448 pages in length (an exact count difficult to determine due to varying paginations). Table of Contents for Volume One consists of 5 pages; the TOC for Volume Two consists of 4 pages. Appendixes A, B, C and D run some 53 pages (395-448). The cover is black, appropriately, because this report signals the demise of our democratic republic. The title coloring is appropriate in that The Mueller Report is rendered in gold, Trump’s favorite decorative choice in his properties. Reading the report seems boring due to its dry, lawyerly and/or unimaginative recitation of facts implicating Trump and his posse in many illegal activities. It is somewhat frustrating too because of its reluctance to draw definitive legal conclusions as to the president’s guilt. Most ordinary citizens who read the Report or at least a portion of it will be forced by logic and common sense to the conclusion of Trump’s personal guilt, based simply on the facts enumerated within

Ever y concer ned citizen must read the 2 tables of contents, minimally. A n imaginative citizen will readily connect the dots between Trump, his cronies, and Russian operatives attempting/succeeding in perverting our national election, with a careful reading of the rather descriptive Tables of Contents. All citizens should read and reread three times The Conclusion of the Report (designated page 394 at top & page 182 at bottom), immediately prior to Appendix A. Here it is for those without the report at hand. “Because we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment, we did not draw ultimate c on clu sion s ab o u t the President’s conduct.

the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.” Like other rational Americans, Robert Mueller expected Congress to use his report for the good of the nation and for the preservation of our Constitution. But, granted the lack of moral fiber and/or backbone within the Republican Cong ressional Caucus, Rober t Mueller is now himself in the crosshairs of Trump and his toadies, led by William Barr. Had something like this happened in Nazi Germany, the hy pothetical “special counsel” looking into Hitler’s actions would be summarily ar rested, tortured and executed! It would not surprise me if Donald Trump longs for such extrajudicial power for himself. Long fearful of and much appalled by America’s inexorable march towards autocracy - aided and abetted by a mutated Christianity - I cannot expect Trump supporters to read a single word of The Mueller Report. Truth doesn’t matter to them, alas! However, in the interest of saving our Constitution, I hope every rational citizen will come to its rescue. Donald Tr ump is our Constitution’s most potent opponent i n A mer ica’s history! Nicholas S. Molinari Brick

This same person tried unsuccessfully years ago to get a reduction on the tax assessment for his house simply because it was 20 miles from the Oyster Creek nuclear power station. Almost eighteen years after 9/11, do you expect us to believe that anyone who has contracted a respiratory or other serious illness have not been affected by their occupations or lifestyle? Fi remen enter bu r n i ng buildings with little or no facial protection. Likewise, don’t they have comprehensive medical plans of their own, or does it taste better if the taxpayers pay for it? And what happened to the $9 billion Congress sent to the Zadroga fund in December of 2017? This subject is ripe for an investigative report. It should start from the beginning and include cash awards, tax breaks, medical costs, etc. so that everyone should be informed to make their own decisions without being stampeded by a talk-show host with a sharp political tilt.

—Photo courtesy Hackensack Meridian Health Ocean Medical Center BRICK – Hackensack Meridian Health Ocean Medical Center is pleased to announce that Pramil Cheriyath, M.D., MS., FACP, program director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program, has been awarded a $5,000 Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine (AAIM) 2019 Innovation Grant. This is the first Innovation Grant of its kind to be awarded to an Internal Medicine Residency Program in the country by the AAIM. AAIM aims to foster educational innovation in academic internal medicine through a small grants program. The Innovation Grant will be used to support research on the rising prevalence of burnout among physicians. The focus of Dr. Cheriyath’s proposal was based on improving Emotional Intelligence (EI) among internal medicine residents using evidence -based medicine workshops. “By measuring Emotional Intelligence, the ability to identify and manage one’s emotions as well as the emotions of others, we can implement education that will train residents to be better physicians and will result in less physician burnout,” says Dr. Cheriyath. After a rigorous submission process competing with 116 major universities nationally for this grant, Dr. Cheriyath’s proposal was selected as one
of eight by the Innovation Grants Subcommittee. “This groundbreaking research will allow us to make concrete recommendations on how to build healthier work environments for providers and patients,” said Vincent Vivona, D.O., J.D., FACP, FCLM, CHCQM, chief medical officer. “We are excited to have such an innovative grant awarded to Dr. Cheriyath so he can implement his findings to increase emotional intelligence and reduce physician burnout.” “These workshops contain content meant to create a foundation of knowledge that guides physicians to recognize and regulate emotions,” says Dr. Cheriyath. “Afterwards, their EI scores will be assessed again and we hypothesize an increase in scores from their baseline after their training workshops.” Dr. Cheriyath is working with Hackensack University Medical Center and UPMC Pinnacle Harrisburg to recruit subjects for this study. The rising prevalence of burnout among physicians (over 50 percent in some studies) can often be linked to lower patient satisfaction and quality care. Burned-out doctors are more likely to leave practice, which reduces patient access to continuity of care.

County Prepared To Service Pets with Disaster Relief
By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY — According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, over a third of US households are also home to a furry companion. In Ocean County, many local families have dogs or cats they consider part of the family. In an effort to service both humans and animals in the event of an emergency, Ocean County has become the newest member of the AKC Pet Disaster Relief program. AKC Reunite is the largest non-profit pet identification and recovery service provider in the United States. Their national program, AKC Pet Disaster Relief, is dedicated to keeping pets and their owners safe in response to natural or civil disasters. In collaboration with local American Kennel Club dog clubs and dog lovers, AKC Reunite presented an emergency trailer to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office. The AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailer will be available to dispatch to any disaster scene that needs assistance sheltering pets. “We are beyond grateful to AKC Reunite and the Kennel Club of Philadelphia for providing us with this life-saving tool for our community,” said Kevin Cooney of the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office. “Our department is now better equipped to help pets and pet owners in the case of a disaster.” In the event of an emergency, the AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailers create a safe, temporary home for at least 65 pets during the first 72 hours after a disaster is declared. Inside the trailers you will find essential animal care
items including crates and carriers, AKC Reunite microchips, an AKC Reunite universal microchip scanner, bowls, collars, leashes, fans, lighting and a generator, cleaning supplies and maintenance items. These supplies can be used as co-location shelters, where people can evacuate with their pets, as well as emergency animal shelters for displaced animals. “This is the 76th trailer donated through the AKC Pet Disaster Relief program. The trailer will provide critical resources to help the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office quickly assist its community when responding to natural disasters,” said Tom Sharp, AKC Reunite CEO. “Safe, effective pet sheltering solutions are important following a disaster, and we are pleased that an AKC Pet Disaster Relief trailer will be available to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office as a vital tool.” A generous donation of $100,000, courtesy of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, funded the purchase of the OCSD’s new trailer. While Ocean County was the first, the donations funds will continue to provide trailers to eight other counties throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania. “Our association is thrilled to be able to bring such an important resource like the AKC Pet Disaster Relief Trailer to the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office,” said Wayne Ferguson, President of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia. “The trailer will help the organization assist their community in times of disaster”.

Deborah Heart and Lung Center Providing Quality Care To NFL Alumni By Kimberly Bosco BROWNS MILLS – NFL Alumni (NFLA) members will now be receiving quality care courtesy of Deborah Heart and Lung Center in Browns Mills. A new partnership between NFLA Mt. Laurel and Deborah plans to treat members with cutting-edge cardiac, vascular and pulmonary care. This partnership ensures that former football players and their families, regardless of where they live, can access Deborah’s nationally-renowned medical services at its campus in Browns Mills. “We are delighted to partner with the NFLA,” said Joseph Chirichella, Deborah President and CEO. “Football brings families and friends together as we root for our favorite team. Post career, it is an honor to link these players to quality healthcare. Deborah is recognized as a top 7% in the nation for heart surgery outcomes and we are excited to connect former players with our specialists.” With over 10,000 members nationwide, the NFLA has a large membership base
right here at home in New Jersey, some of which require special medical attention. According to statistics compiled by the NFLA, football retirees over 50 years old have a 13.5 percent rate of coronary heart disease, 46 percent rate of high blood pressure and a 44 percent rate of high cholesterol. These former players also exceed the national averages for poor leg circulation and other heart conditions. A high percentage of NFLA members also suffer from sleep apnea, asthma and diabetes. “NFL Alumni is proud to partner with Deborah Heart and Lung Center,” says NFL Alumni CEO Beasley Reece. “This partnership will grant our former players access to world class medical services across the country while supporting our mission to better the quality of life for our former NFL athletes.” Through this partnership, NFLA members will receive one-on-one attention for their integrated care.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
Umbrella Thief Dear Joel, They say ‘Save it for a rainy day’, and at least that’s what I thought I did. We have an umbrella thief at work. When I went to use my umbrella yesterday, the one I just brought to work that morning, it was gone. This is not the first time this has happened. Why do people think nothing of taking someone’s umbrella? Have you ever done this? Has it ever happened to you? Do I have to buy a safe for my umbrella? Answer I think umbrellas fall into their own category of items like scissors, tape and pens, even jackets and sweaters which have all have been a ‘quick borrow’ by many. The problem is returning it, which is especially hard with an umbrella, because you need it when you arrive at your
desti nation. Ye s , I h a ve ‘borrowed’ an umbrella, but guilt and responsibility made me return it the same day. We have a big group in my office, so we keep a little area stocked with often ‘borrowed’ items, some even donated by co-workers. We have umbrellas, cloth grocery bags, sweatshirts, jumper cables and many more things. The rule is you must return anything you use. It has saved us lots of grief. Maybe you could try it where you work. Write to joel@preferredcares.com.

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.
Possible Prevention Of Hearing Loss Through Better Nutrition Research seems to confirm a relationship between a healthy cardiovascular system and hearing health. As most of you know, optimal nutrition should be based around “whole foods” - fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts, vegetable juices and virgin olive oil. The jury is still out in regard to meat and dairy products, but it is quite clear that meats in general should be free of hormones and antibiotics. “Dead” foods (anything preheated, refined/processed), all processed vegetable oils, margarine, genetically modified products and aspartame (Equal, Nutrasweet) should also be avoided, particularly if microwaving. Although I am not a nutritionist, nutritional supplements are probably appropriate for most people. Even though supplements alone cannot provide a complete range of micronutrients that our bodies need to function optimally, they are necessary to counteract basic nutritional defi-
ciencies due to poor eating habits, to treat current health problems, to enhance the immune system and to counteract any nutritional losses due to prescription medications. Possible supplements might include Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B Complex, Folic Acid, Magnesium, Zinc, Ginkgo Biloba, garlic and fish oil. Other substances such as coenzyme Q10, DHEA, Melatonin and Alpha-Lipoic Acid might be appropriate also. Regular exercise is vital for both cardiovascular fitness and better hearing health. Research clearly confirms that if we eat right and exercise daily, our overall health will be improved. Although prevention of hearing loss as a function of aging cannot be completely stopped, there are certainly ways to “slow down” the process. The combination of a nutritionally optimal diet, exercise and appropriate hearing aids will lead to a more active lifestyle and improve quality of life.

Grilling Lettuce Might Make You Sleepy
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. This summer, lots of people are barbecuing. You probably think the word “grill” and “lettuce” shouldn’t be in the same sentence should they? Why not? It wouldn’t be the first time a vegetable was grilled. Just think of zucchini, peppers and corn on the cob. Wild lettuce, known as Lactusa virosa is a species from the lettuce family that is most interesting. It grows all over the world. It contains “lactucarium” a milky substance that can cause sedation and psychoactive effects like hallucinations. It should NOT be grilled. Wild lettuce has bright green leaves which secrete the lactucarium. This compound resembles opium, a mild analgesic. In the early 1900’s, extracts of this species was used for whooping cough. But you’re probably wondering about Iceberg lettuce, or Romaine aren’t you? To answer your first question (because I can read your mind), NO, these foods are not psychoactive. Food Science and Biotechnology has an article entitled, “Sleep-inducing effect of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) varieties on pentobarbital-induced sleep.” The scientists investigated the sleep-inducing effect of Romaine lettuce on mice who were put to sleep by pentobarbital, an anesthetic and anti-seizure drug. Because Romaine lettuce has a higher content of a compound called “lactucin,” it made people sleep longer than they would have normally. They tested the seed extract and the leaves themselves, seeds were stronger. FYI, lactucin is part of the bigger compound lactucarium, which I mentioned earlier, so Romaine does actually have some sedating characteristics. Iceberg didn’t make anyone snooze although
it’s fabulous for lettuce wraps! Of the two lettuces, Romaine is what I recommend. Not because it causes drowsiness, trust me it’s not even remotely close to an Ambien! But because Romaine lettuce is full of antioxidants and chlorophyll which clean your internal biochemical gears. It also contains a lot of vitamin K and natural folate (methylation), plus what better way to consume delicious fiber?! It’s also very high in potassium which normalizes blood pressure. So this summer, try grilling lettuce along with your burgers and dogs. Here’s a recipe for you: Grilled Lettuce with Parmesan Ingredients 4 small Romaine hearts, rinsed 1 tablespoon of olive oil 2 TBLS favorite salad dressing 2 tea chopped fresh parsley Salt and Pepper to taste Optional: 1/2 cup fresh Parmesan or Goat Cheese Directions Cut an inch off of the top part of the Romaine leaves off, leaving the bottom core intact. This allows you to grill the lettuce without it falling apart. Brush the lettuce with olive oil and place on your heated grill or skillet. Turn frequently to brown/char all sides. (They will slightly soften but they should not wilt or turn black). You want them crisp tender, and slightly charred. Once done, you can drizzle your favorite dressing on top. I like creamy Caesar dressing personally. Then sprinkle fresh parsley on top, and salt/pepper. Optionally, sprinkle Parmesan or fresh goat cheese. Serve while warm.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Swim Safe With The Health Department’s “Rip Tips” For Rip Currents By Kimberly Bosco OCEAN COUNTY – As the saying goes: it’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. According to the National Weather Service, 30,000 people are rescued from rip currents and high surf zones in the US each year. According to the US Lifesaving Association (USLA), more than 100 bathers will lose their lives this year due to rip current drowning. While the beach is a great place to relax and enjoy the waves, the Ocean County Health Department is reminding residents to practice caution when in the ocean. “With the water getting warmer as the dog days of summer approach, more and more people will flock to the ocean to swim and recreate. That is why it’s extremely important to be aware of any known rip currents where you’re swimming and to only swim when a lifeguard is on duty,” advises Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health. It is always a good idea to swim only when a lifeguard is on duty. The USLA calculates that a person’s chance of drowning is 1 in a million while swimming at a protected beach. While lifeguards do a great job of keeping watch to ensure safety, it is important for everyone to know how to avoid a rip current in the first place, or what to do if pulled into one. “If you ever find yourself caught in a rip current, do not fight it,” said Daniel E. Regenye, Ocean County Health Department Public Health Coordinator. “The best thing to do is to swim parallel to the shore and swim back to the beach at an angle. Try to stay calm - rip currents only pull you out, not under.”
Some may refer to them as “undertow” or “rip tides,” but these silent dangers are actually rip currents. Rip currents are powerful, narrow channels of fast moving water moving at speeds of 8 feet per second. “Drowning deaths occur when people pulled offshore are unable to keep themselves afloat and swim back to shore. This is due to any combination of exhaustion, fear, panic or lack of swimming skills, “Regenye added. The OCHD provides some tips to remember in the event you get pulled into a rip current: Don’t swim against the current. Swim out of the current, then to shore. Try to escape by floating or treading water if the current circulates back toward the beach. If you feel you will be unable to reach the shore, draw attention to yourself by yelling or waving for assistance. How can we identify if a rip current is present? The OCHD noted that they can present as a narrow gap of darker, seemingly calmer water between areas of breaking waves and whitewater, or a channel of churning, choppy water. There is also a difference in water color or perhaps a line of foam, seaweed or debris moving seaward. If you see someone struggling in a rip current, get help from a lifeguard. If you attempt to rescue the person, you may end up in the same situation. If possible, throw the struggling swimmer something that floats. If a lifeguard isn’t available call 9-1-1. For more information on rip currents and a complete list of “rip tips,” visit the Health Department website at ochd.org.
Filing Deadline For School Board Candidates Is July 29
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – Nominating petitions for board of education seats are due by 4 p.m. July 29 to the Ocean County Clerk’s Office. Those petitions are available in person at the clerk’s office in the Ocean County Courthouse, Election Services, room 107, 118 Washington St. in Toms River, or at the Ocean County Southern Service Center at 179 Main St. in Manahawkin. Board of Education members are elected during the general election, which this year is Nov. 5. There are 66 open seats this election cycle. Candidates running on the same slate can f ile one petition, Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella said. They may also choose a three-word slogan which,
if used, must be part of the petition and will appear under their names on the ballot. “Simply, more than one candidate can appear and circulate the same petition for the same office and term,” he said. “In the past, petitions had to be filed separately, even if all the candidates were running on one slate.” Petitions must be filed with disclosure statements, which declare a candidate has not been convicted of a disqualifying crime. Candidates who need more information can call the election office at 732-9292153. A list of candidates will be available after July 29 at oceancountyclerk.com or facebook.com/oceancountyclerk.

Inside The Law Trusts For Minor Children
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Marc S. Galella, Esq., and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates
Where parents have minor children, they often want to establish trusts in their Wills for the benefit of the minor children in the event that both parents should pass away. In such a case, the money is held in the trust for the benefit of the children. A person called the “trustee” is appointed by the Will to manage the trust on behalf of the children. Most trusts for the benefit of minor children allow the money to be used for their health, education, maintenance and support. The term “education” usually also refers to college education. There are several ways to go about doing this. The most common ways are the (1) common trust or (2) the separate trust. In the common trust, all of the money is held until the youngest child reaches an age specified in the Will. Upon the youngest child reaching the specified age, the monies remaining in the trust are then distributed to all of the children. In a separate trust, the assets are divided among the children and a separate trust is created for each child and each child receives their trust when the each reach the specified age. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? The advantage of the common trust is that the money is held until the youngest child reaches the specified age. In this way, the trustee can use the money in the trust and if necessary spend more of the money in the trust on one child as opposed to the others. As a parent, most people would be
willing to spend everything they had on one child at the expense of the other children if that child required greater care than the other chil- Marc S. Galella Esq. dren. By using a common trust you give the trustee the flexibility to do this. The drawback to the common trust is that the older children will have to wait a longer period of time to receive their share of the inheritance depending upon the age of the youngest child. This could be a disadvantage if there is a significant age difference between the youngest and oldest child. The advantage of the separate trust is that each child will receive their share of the estate when they reach the specified age. This means that the older children do not have to wait for their inheritance until the youngest child reaches the specified age. The drawback to the separate trust is the trustee can only use the money in that individual child’s trust for the care of that child. If one child requires significantly more care than the other children, the trustee is limited to the amount of money in that child’s trust and cannot use the money in the other trusts. Which trust is better for you for your is something to be discussed with your estate planning attorney when making up your Will.

were required to permanently vacate after three years residing on the township’s land. While they were given a small financial cushion of $4,000 each by the New Jersey Coalition to End Homelessness after vacating, this sum cannot last very long nor can it sustain a consistent rent or mortgage payment. According to Minister Steve Brigham of Destiny’s Bridge, two of the former camp residents “still have indoor housing, and the others are in one form, or fashion homeless again. They have either joined another homeless encampment in the area, or sleeping in a vehicle.” HELP is one way that these individuals can create a bit of fi nancial stability for themselves to get back on their feet. The idea is that members of the community can reach out to HELP for simple services they need done such as moving jobs, towing, lawn maintenance, etc. and these services will be provided and performed by homeless in need of work. Brigham told Jersey Shore Online that the idea stemmed from a conversation with an old friend and former resident of the Lakewood Tent City. Brigham had the idea and his friend had the acronym: H.E.L.P. The project began as a way of incorporating the homeless into the mailbox design business, crafting unique and individualized mailboxes upon request. This later became a business called First Impression Mailbox Design and Installation, where the homeless assemble craft mailboxes, and help install them. “I realized there is so much you can do to make a mailbox and post that will reflect the personality of the homeowner. It can be stately, or funny, or tell about one’s interest or likes,” said Brigham. This idea evolved into HELP, and has been expanded to incorporate other fields that the local homeless have talents in, said
Brigham. “One homeless person is an experienced tree worker. He is highly skilled, but ended up in Tent City when he lost his truck, and couldn’t get to work. Another homeless person has a degree in computer programming, and is helping to build our website,” Brigham added. They have equipment on hand to do tree work, basic lawn maintenance, and they can perform small to medium size moving jobs. “We also have a vehicle where we can tow almost anything,” he added. The vehicles HELP uses, Chevy Silverado and a mini bus, have been donated over time. If you or someone you know have a job that needs to be done around the house or at a business, HELP can be reached for a helping hand at 732-364-0340. Offering reasonable prices, Brigham noted that all proceeds will go towards helping the homeless move forward. You can also call First Impression Mailbox Design and Installation for a unique and individualized mailbox catered to you. And for a limited time for those who purchase and install a mailbox will be given “a complimentary free DVD of the award-winning documentary Destiny’s Bridge, which documents the life, and struggles of the homeless in Tent City,” added Brigham. “So please think of H.E.L.P. the next time you need something done around the house, or business. At the same time you will be helping someone that needs a helping hand,” he said. “Please give me a call at 732-3640340 to discuss the details of any job you need done.” In the interest of running HELP as smoothly as possible, Brigham has since had to put a hold on an outreach program that he has been putting on at Lakewood Town Square for nearly two decades for lack of space. For those who may not need a service done but still wish to help, the program is in need of a table saw for the mailbox business, and an enclosed utility trailer for other job related activities.

Bill:
Continued From Page 7 coming from our southern border, and f ir mly believe we cannot allow this administration to continue to harm children and run roughshod over our shared values,” Murray said. “This legislation is just a step toward mitigating the harm done to these kids and holding those responsible accountable, but it’s a critical one we must take immediately before the kids in our care are even further hurt and traumatized. For the sake of the children, I urge all of our colleagues to join us in this effort to protect the kids in our care, because we will not stop fighting until this is made right.” The Stop Cruelty to Migrant Children Act would create clear, non-negotiable standards for the treatment of children in America’s care, including: Ending family separations except when authorized by a state court or child welfare agency, or when Customs and Border Protection and an independent child welfare specialist agree that a child is a trafficking victim, is not the child of an accompanying adult, or is in danger of abuse or neglect; Setting minimum health and safety standards for children and families in Border Patrol Stations. The bill requires access to hygiene products including toothbrushes, diapers, soap and showers, regular nutritious meals, and a prompt medical assessment by trained medical providers.
The Brick Times, July 20, 2019, Page 23 Requiring children receive three meals a day that meet USDA nutrition standards. Ending for-profit contractors from operating new Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) standard shelters or influx facilities. The bill ensures that temporary influx facilities are state-licensed, meet Flores standards, and are not used to house children indefinitely. Expanding alternatives to detention and the successful Family Case Management Program. Removing roadblocks to placing unaccompanied children with sponsors by lowering case manager caseloads, mandating lower staffing ratios, and ending the information sharing agreement between ORR and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). These provisions would ensure that children are moved out of detention centers and into community-based settings - usually, sponsored by family members - as soon as possible. Ensuring unaccompanied children have access to legal counsel and continue to be placed in a non-adversarial setting for their initial asylum case review. Additionally, the legislation would provide resources to non-profit centers that are helping to provide humanitarian assistance, and improve public oversight of the conditions children are being held in by allowing members of Congress and their staff, along with credentialed press (without cameras), to visit any facility with 24 hours notice.
EYELIDS LIKE LOWERED WINDOW SHADES
The condition called “ptosis” is characterized by a drooping eyelid, which occurs when the nerve that works the levator muscle (which raises the eyelid) becomes damaged. This can happen as the result of a stroke or by normal aging. When ptosis of the eyelid interferes with vision or dramatically affects appearance, surgical repair may be undertaken. The procedure involves shortening the levator muscle and removing some of the overlying skin or some of the conjunctiva (the thin, slippery membrane that covers the inner aspect of the eyelids). Care must be taken to remove just the right amount of tissue so that the eyes will close fully. Otherwise, the eyes will be vulnerable to dryness and irritation from exposure to air. Prior to a treatment plan, your doctor will complete a comprehensive eye exam along with some other tests to determine the cause of the ptosis. While the treatment does depend on the cause of the condition, surgery to repair the eyelid function is the most common treatment. We know there are a lot of options for eye care services in and out of New Jersey, and to help you make the right choices, SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES offers a unique combination of experience, skill sets, flexibility and convenience starting with our physicians whose main focus is making sure our patients are informed and educated about all of their vision needs.

There’s no one single answer to all knee pain, especially when every person is different. The truth is, it is impossible to know what kind of treatment would be effective until your case is examined.

includes significant reforms that would result in f lood insurance rates going up 18 percent (and allowed to double every four years) to primar y homeowners, and those who have f lood insurance on a second home would see an increase of 25 percent a year (and allowed to double every three years), Ducey explained. The next step is the bill gets sent to the U.S. House of Representatives for consideration. “Everybody should be worried about this,” the mayor said. “We were working on [getting into the CRS program] for years.” In order to get into the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s CRS program, the township had to formulate and complete f lood mitigation actions, such as preserve open space, upgrade building codes, design stormwater management and vegetative management, create seawalls, bulkheads, elevated roadways, and much more. “We finally got in, and we actually got in at a very high level - which is a class 6 rating,” Ducey said, which has resulted in Brick residents getting a 20 percent discount off the cost of f lood insurance. The township has worked hard to make f lood insurance affordable for residents and all of the hard work would be lost if this new rate schedule is approved, Ducey said. The flood mitigation efforts have resulted in making houses safer and thereby making sure residents do not lose their houses, property or lives in a f looding event, he said. “This [bill] goes against that...and now here’s the federal government saying ‘well we’re still putting it up 18 percent a year or 25 percent,’” he said. The resolution would be sent to NJ Congressman Andy Kim, and to Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker to ask them to vote against the bill and “at the
very least” rescind the f lood insurance increases to communities that are in the CRS program, which should be exempt from the raises, Ducey said. The mayor spoke with Congressman Kim personally and said the NJ Congressman knows how important it is to Brick Township and that he would be speaking to his colleagues about the bill. “Congressman Kim pointed out that none of the members of the House Finance Committee live in flood or coastal areas, so they don’t have any skin in the game so to speak, as Congress people,” Ducey said. Councilman Jim Fozman asked that the resolution “go a little further, as they did in Berkeley Township,” to send certified copies of the resolution to elected officials in districts that have significant waterfront property, including Camden, Atlantic County and Ocean County. Fozman, who is the lone Republican on council, made a motion to include the additional legislators, but no other council members seconded the motion (Council Vice President Lisa Crate, Councilman Art Halloran and Councilwoman Marianna Pontoriero were absent). Later in the meeting, Ducey said “I think there’s some confusion - it’s Congress, it’s a federal bill, the National Flood Insurance Plan, not state, so we need our congressmen and our senators onboard,” he said. “It would be a lot of money for us to send certified copies to everyone...we want to send it to the people who make the decisions - congressmen and senators - that’s who can actually inf luence this and has votes on it,” Ducey said. Fozman said that at least Senator Steve Sweeney from Camden should get a copy, as should Senator Chris Connors and Senator James Holzapfel from Ocean County. “The more backing, the better,” Fozman said. The next council meeting will be on Tuesday July 23 at 7 p.m.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of july 20 - july 26 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): When you are filled with enthusiasm you can achieve everything you can imagine. You may realize that it is necessary to take steps to make your dreams come true. Friends will offer advice and encouragement this week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone may offer ideas that capture your imagination and lure you away from dull chores. Enjoy pleasant escapes from the ordinary but don’t let them cause misunderstandings or disrupt your schedule this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Strike a balance between income and outflow. In the week ahead you might notice that you often spend money spontaneously or purchase items on a whim. This might be a good time to develop a savings strategy. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Greener pastures might grow more attractive. You may sometimes feel limited or frustrated by the necessities of modern life. Ambitious people may influence your outlook and impact daily routines as the week unfolds. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your ideas and actions can spark joy as well as passion in the week to come. Sidestep a workplace struggle for dominance and focus your energies on making a valuable vision come true. Embrace wise business strategies. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Plant the seeds and success will sprout. Home fires may burn brightly, and you may benefit from harmonious family dynamics and team spirit. Your negotiation skills are in top form as the week begins.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A loved one may seem changeable or distant right now, but in the end, true love conquers all. In the week ahead your social life could have ups and downs as you may be challenged to deal with various people with differing agendas. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your past kindnesses and generosity will be rewarded. If you have a powerful financial need it is quite possible that your prayers will be answered this week. An acquaintance could give you a valuable tip. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You might hit the lottery of love in the week ahead. The bonds of friendships can grow tighter and your social life could be buzzing. You may find it easier than usual to act on inspiring and romantic notions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Tap into the creative energy and use your imagination to follow an idea to a satisfactory conclusion. You can launch something important in the week ahead if you are willing to put ego and control issues aside. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): All’s well that ends well. Your home or the workplace could seem like a hotbed of intrigue or crossed signals for short periods as this week unfolds, but issues will be resolved easily if you take a partner’s advice. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the week ahead, partners and friends may often be more willing to discuss finance than romance. If you wait for the right opening, however, you will have a chance to express your enduring affections.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Try This Quick, Light Dish When It’s Just Too Hot To Cook Outdoors By Wolfgang Puck What can a food lover do in summertime when it’s too hot to go outside and grill? The answer is easy: Return to the stove with a recipe that’s so quick, satisfying and light that you’ll forget all about cooking outdoors. The classic technique of sauteing is incomparably easy and so fast that you may sit down to your meal and blink your eyes in astonishment that something so delicious has almost magically appeared on your table. As you may know, the word “saute” comes to us from the French word for “jump,” and in the kitchen it refers to cooking relatively small pieces of food over high heat in a wide, shallow pan - known as a saute pan, of course - with curving sides that help the food stay in the pan as you briskly stir or toss them. Once the food has cooked through in minutes, you add some flavorful liquid and stir and scrape to deglaze the pan deposits, producing a delicious sauce that completes the dish. For a perfect example of this technique, look no further than my recipe for shrimp with pink peppercorn sauce. The medium-sized shrimp called for here take only a few minutes to cook through once you’ve started tossing them in the saute pan; any longer, and they would go from tender and juicy to rubbery and dry. Once the shrimp have been sauteed and set aside to keep warm, the sauce comes together almost as quickly. First you deglaze the pan with a splash of dry vermouth (plus some minced shallot for extra flavor); then reduce some fish stock and enrich it with a little butter. To add an extra dimension of flavor, I also like to include a tablespoon of whole pink peppercorns (available in well-stocked markets, in gourmet food shops or online), which have a bright, sharp, slightly sweet flavor. Named because they’re the same general size and shape as black and white peppercorns, though not related to them, these dried, rose-colored berries come from the Peruvian peppertree. (Since that tree is a member of the cashew family, anyone with tree nut allergies would be well advised to avoid the peppercorns. But you could add another sharp-tasting accent to the sauce such as a squeeze of lemon juice or some drained capers.) To complete this quick indoor dish - which works well either as an appetizer or, in larger portions, as a light main course - I like to serve it on a bed of baby spinach. And what’s the easiest way to cook that spinach? You guessed it: sauteing! SHRIMP WITH PINK PEPPERCORN SAUCE Serves 4 to 6 24 medium-sized plump fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left attached if you like Kosher salt Coarsely ground black pepper 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 shallot, minced 3 tablespoons dry white vermouth 1 cup (250 mL) homemade fish stock (recipe follows) or good-quality store-bought fish stock 1 tablespoon pink peppercorns 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1/2 pound (500 g) baby spinach leaves, thoroughly rinsed and dried, stems removed
Season the shrimp lightly all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large saute pan over high heat until very hot. Drizzle in the oil, add the shrimp, and saute, stirring them frequently and turning them over to make sure they cook on both sides, until uniformly pink and opaque white, about 4 minutes total. Remove them to a covered dish, and keep warm. Add the minced shallot to the pan, saute briefly just until fragrant, and then add the vermouth; quickly stir and scrape with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan deposits. Immediately add the stock and pink peppercorns; boil, stirring frequently, until the liquid has reduced by about a third, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a wire whisk, add 4 tablespoons of the butter a few pieces at a time, whisking until fully incorporated before adding each of the few pieces, to form a creamy sauce. Set aside, cover, and keep warm. In another saute pan over medium-high heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook, watching carefully, just until it begins to turn light brown. Immediately add the spinach, reduce the heat to medium, sprinkle lightly with salt, and stir the spinach just until it has uniformly wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. To serve, divide the spinach among the centers of heated serving plates. Divide the shrimp among the plates, placing them neatly around and slightly overlapping the spinach. Drizzle the sauce and pink peppercorns over and around the shrimp. Serve immediately. FISH STOCK Makes about 1 quart (1 L) 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 pounds fish bones, cut or broken into pieces, from any saltwater fish except salmon 1 carrot, peeled and sliced 1/2 yellow onion, peeled and sliced 1 shallot, peeled and sliced 1/2 stalk celery, sliced, leaves reserved 2 cups (500 mL) dry white wine 1 sprig Italian parsley 1 sprig fresh thyme 1 bay leaf 1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns Water In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over moderate heat. Add the fish bones, carrot, onion, shallot and celery; saute, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the vegetables start to soften, about 10 minutes. Add the wine, and stir and scrape to deglaze the pan deposits. Add the reserved celery leaves, parsley, thyme, bay leaf and peppercorns. Add enough water to cover all the ingredients. Raise the heat slightly, and bring the liquid to a boil; then, reduce the heat to maintain a brisk simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, line a strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth and place it above a heatproof bowl. When the stock is done simmering, remove it from the heat and pour it through the strainer. Use immediately, letting any unused stock to cool to room temperature before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days or in the freezer for up to four months.
