Stafford Bonds Over $5M For Improvement Projects
By Kimberly Bosco STAFFORD – At a recent meeting, the St afford Tow nship Council adopted an ordinance that would allow for the appropriation of more than $5
million towards various capital improvements and new equipment for the town. The bond ordinance was introduced for a first reading on June 4, appropriating a to-
tal of $5,500,000 for improvements. Of that total, $345,000 will be funded through grants from New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT). The township will
put up $275,000 as a down payment, as required by Local Bond Law, and the remaining $5,225,000 will be funded through bonds. The f unding will (Bonds - See Page 5)

Barnegat Students Tackling Big Issues, One Street At A Time By Kimberly Bosco BARNEGAT – Making a difference can start with just one person; or perhaps, one street. Spearheaded by two Barnegat students, the “Adopt a Street” program has been cleaning up township streets to create a more eco-friendly town, one street at a time. At the July 2 township committee meeting, Barnegat students Norah Hansen and Jenna Marcy detailed their plan to clean up Barnegat with “Adopt A Street,” with the help of Lillian M. Dunfee School Counselor Michele Cucinotta. Hansen and Marcy are both incoming freshmen at Barnegat High School. Hansen opened up the presentation with an alarming statistic: “Did you know that around 93 percent of the world’s children under 15 years old breathe air that is so polluted that it puts their health and development in danger?” She cited the World Health Organization which estimates that 600,000 children died of respiratory diseases in 2016, all due to polluted air. These figures inspired Hansen and Marcy to make a change for the better. (Students - See Page 5)

Continued From Page 1 facility was evident for years, both Kelly Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines said. “Commuters have been parking on any available cleared roadside area near the interchange,” Haines said. “They will no longer have to do that since we are now providing them with a new Park-N-Ride facility. …The completion of this project will benefit a lot of people.” There are 49 paved parking stalls and an internal bus loading and unloading area in anticipation of future bus service.
Its stormwater upgrades and lighting system make the facility nearly maintenance-free. “Ocean County is a commuter county,” Kelly said. “The county has been working in partnership with the state’s 9th Legislative District leaders and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority to advance this project. We are very pleased it is now done and open to the public.” The county appropriated $400,000 for the facility, but anticipates being reimbursed for the cost of designing the facility, securing all the permits and ultimately constructing it under a proposal with the Turnpike Authority.

Fair:
Continued From Page 1 hands-on this year. Sure, there was still the usual rides and boardwalk-style games. And fair food like popcor n, 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 interactive 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 demonstration, this 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 f low of traffic. The seeing eye dog demonstrations also told visitors about their training. These moments were not lost on the fairgoers. Deen Doug he r t y of Ma na hawk i n 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 r iding inside a met al 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 ever y year. It’s a nice family tradition,” said Bernie Meyer of Berkeley. His family was at a booth where people could walk th rough a butterf ly garden. They had sponges soa ked w it h suga r wat e r a nd we re taught how to interact safely with the delicate creatures. T he but ter f ly 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.

Students:
Marcy outlined some of the requirements for volunteers in the program, including: • Volunteers must wear safety vests so cars can see them • Minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult • Cleaning is only allowed during daytime hours • Volunteers cannot obstruct sidewalks or traffic cones while cleaning “And fi nally, if volunteers fi nd any suspicious items, they need to alert authorities,” Marcy added. The program welcomes all volunteers including children, their parents, local businesses, and NHS (National Honor Society) students. While Hansen and Marcy are moving up
to the high school come September, they have recruited Cucinotta to help continue the program “for years to come.” “Although we are only one town and people are only cleaning one street at a time, its still bags of garbage that does not end up in our ocean,” said Hansen. The students’ presentation was well received by attendees at the township meeting. They received a big round of applause and even some questions from local residents. The program was kicked off just after Earth Day this year. Since then, the students have managed to clean Gunning River Road, Barnegat Boulevard from Walgreens to Gunning River Road, and the Bay Beach.
Hansen and Marcy closed their presentation with a call for service from the township. “We would like the town to put up signs on adopted streets and commit to picking up trash collected after clean ups,” as well as supply vests, gloves, and garbage bags, said Hansen. Barnegat Police will also be notified of the date and location of any cleanups as well as assist in removing any suspicious or dangerous materials. Now that the program is off to a good start, what’s next? According to Marcy, the next task to tackle is spreading awareness and getting more members of the community involved in cleaning up Barnegat.
Bonds:
• Ir rigation improvements totaling $150,000, bonding for $142,500 • Municipal park improvements totaling $100,000, bonding for $95,000 • Improvements to municipal buildings including renovations of the Police Training Room, as well as carpet and roof replacements at Town Hall, totaling $635,000, bonding for $603,250 • Bulk scanning of records totaling $250,000, bonding for $237,500 New equipment includes: • Public Works: 12 passenger bus, automated trash trucks, snow plows, automated trash and recycling cans, various DPW vehicles. Total cost is estimated at $1,210,000, bonding for $1,149,500
• Information Technology (IT) upgraded equipment totaling $220,000, bonding for $209,000 • Police Department: five police SUVs, a police motorcycle, etc. Total cost is estimated at $400,000, bonding for $380,000 • Volunteer EMS replacement ambulance totaling $275,000, bonding for $261,250 During the same meeting, the council also approved a bond ordinance that would appropriate $1,875,000 for the Beach Haven West Sewer Rehabilitation Phase I Project. No down payment is required on this sum, according to the ordinance.
Another bond ordinance appropriates $1,940,000 for var ious water/sewer utility improvements and equipment for the township. The ordinance dictates a $1,240,000 down payment, allowing for the township to bond for $700,000 for these projects. Water/sewer utility projects include: • Purchase of a new utility truck, van, dump truck, various utility tools and equipment • Beach Haven West Water and Sewer Lagoon Crossing Replacement Project Phase II • Water treatment plant upgrades • Sewer pump station rehabilitation • Stafford Park Water Tower upgrades.
Continued From Page 1 “Each street cleaned in Barnegat is another step in the right direction,” said Hansen. Adopt A Street is intended to bring the local community together for the greater good. The program allows residents of any age to apply to “adopt” a segment of a street or the whole street. Minors must obtain parental approval to do this. Once a street is adopted, community members commit to one year of trash clean up on their adopted street, performed three times a year. “The idea is to preserve the overall appearance of Barnegat,” as well as improve the quality of life for all generations, stated Hansen and Marcy.
Continued From Page 1 be split between rolling out a variety of capital projects as well as acquiring new equipment for numerous township departments. Capital projects include: • Road improvements and paving projects totaling $2,010,000 including the NJDOT grant funds. The NJDOT funding will allow for Phase II of improvements to Atlantis Avenue • Drainage improvements totaling $50,000, bonding for $47,500 • Court resurfacing projects totaling $200,000, bonding for $190,000

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. Steve Barratt Long Valley, NJ Sue Davies Jersey City, NJ

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

Based on anyone anywhere near the will also find the report fascinating - despite its blandness of language in its descriptions of so many instances of Donald Tr ump’s obst r uction of justice as President! 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
9/11 Responders Shouldn’t Get “Handout” From Feds It galls me to see Jon Stewart yet again harassing Congress for yet another large handout from the taxpayers at the same time several tort law fi rms are advertising on television for
site to make a claim. I have a neighbor who was a carpenter for the NY subway system and claimed to be at ground zero who collected $500k. 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.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
Local Lawmakers Oppose New Law Spending Millions On Legal Services For Undocumented CAPITOL COMMENTS 9th Legislative District Senator Christopher J. Connors • Assemblyman Brian E. Rumpf • Assemblywoman DiAnne C. Gove
TRENTON – As the legislative delegation leading the fight to stop New Jersey from becoming a sanctuary state, Senator Chris Connors,
Assemblyman Brian Rumpf, and Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove railed against Governor Murphy for signing legislation (A-5610) into law that
appropriates $3.1 million to pay the legal costs for illegal aliens facing detention or deportation. “Leave it to Trenton: New Jersey has the highest property taxes in the nation and school districts are seeing sharp funding cuts and yet, Trenton manages to find millions of dollars - taxpayer dollars - to pay the legal costs of illegal aliens facing detention or deportation. “What is especially outrageous, is the fact that the $3.1
million Trenton wants to give illegal aliens for legal assistance is actually an increase. It’s $1 million more than the $2.1 million taxpayers paid last year. “The rule of law is being replaced by a new political doctrine: reward people for breaking the law. Law-abiding, taxpaying citizens are being disenfranchised and sold out by politicians who, unabashedly, want New Jersey to be designated as a sanctuary
state, no matter the cost. “First it was in-state tuition and college tuition assistance for illegal aliens. Now it’s taxpayer-paid legal services. Next, it will be driver’s licenses for illegal aliens, to which our delegation is also unalterably opposed. “These extreme sanctuary state policies are indefensible, and are going to have severe consequences for our state. It’s unconscionable to ask taxpayers to pay for irresponsible de-
cisions made by policymakers who are racing to make New Jersey the California of the East Coast.” To represent the interests of their constituency, the 9th District delegation launched an online petition to express opposition to establishing New Jersey as a sanctuary state. The petition can be found online at senatenj.com/sanctuarystate/. To date, more than 21,000 people have signed the petition.
Bill Would Protect Small Business Owners Hiring Reservists From The Desk Of
Congressman Andy Kim WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Andy Kim (D-3rd) and Congressman Tim Burchett (TN-02) introduced H.R. 3661, the Patriotic Employer Protection Act, which would strengthen programs intended to protect small business owners whose employees are
military Reservists deployed on active duty. “Across Burlington and Ocean Counties, I’ve seen small business owners who have done the right thing by hiring military Reservists for key positions but worry about the uncertainty posed 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 mind they need to put more of our Reservists to work without worrying if a single deployment will severely impact their business.” The Patriotic Employer Protection Act would restructure Military Reservist Economic Injury Disaster Loan (MREIDL) program and the Repayment Deferral for Active Duty Reservists program so
that they better reflect the current 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. In addition, the bill would create a new business training program to provide counseling and assistance to support members of the Reserves and their spouses, as well as direct the Small Business Administration to develop more targeted and effective outreach to Reservists and small business owners.
“These important programs are underutilized because their eligibility restrictions do not fully reflect current deployment practices,” said Davy Leghorn, Assistant Director of the Veterans Employment and Education Division at the American Legion, which has endorsed the bill. “National Guard members and military reservists are an integral part of our armed forces and national defense and this nation should do everything we can to support their service.” Congressman Kim is a member of the House Committee on Small Business and the House
Armed Services Committee. In addition to the Patriotic Employer Protection Act, Congressman Kim also introduced the SERVICE Act, a bipartisan bill to lower military spouse unemployment. Congressman Tim Burchett took office in January 2019 after serving eight years as mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. Congressman Burchett currently serves on the House Budget, Foreign Affairs and Small Business committees. His goals include supporting veterans, identifying free-market healthcare solutions and facilitating energy independence.
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. If you need eye care or just want a simple eye exam, please call 732-349-5622.

P.S. Having ptosis puts a child at risk for vision problems. For instance, if the child’s eyelid droops so much that it blocks vision, amblyopia (also called “lazy eye”) can develop.

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 732-929-2153. A list of candidates will be available after July 29 at oceancountyclerk.com or facebook.com/ oceancountyclerk.

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”.

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 deficiencies
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.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
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.

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.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
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 Marc S. Galella Esq. care than the other children. 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.

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.

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.

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.
