Resident Pleads For Better Noise Enforcement From Officials By Kimberly Bosco HOWELL – While a Howell resident has reached a settlement agreement with the developer of a nearby plaza, which he said has been a nuisance to him for years now, he continues to plead for better enforcement from the township. Recently, Marc Parisi of Castle Court in Howell Township settled with the property manager and the developer of the Greenleaf at Howell plaza, AAM Mill, LLC, for $125,000. Parisi has been complaining since 2016 that the noise created by the Xscape Theatres Howell 14 in the plaza has been a thunderous nuisance for his home, which backs up to the plaza property. The Greenleaf at Howell plaza is located at Route 9 North and Lanes Mill Road. Castle Court is located behind the plaza, just off Lanes Mill Road. Parisi’s complaints began around May of 2016, when he brought the issue to the attention of the Howell Council. The sounds from the movie theater can be heard day and night from his Castle Court residence, sounding like thunder, said Parisi. (Noise - See Page 4)
Laughter Reaches Across Faiths
By Judy Smestad-Nunn BRICK – Wouldn’t it be wonderful if people of all religions and ages could come together for a day to laugh, celebrate life and forget about their differences? That’s just what happened on Sunday August 18 when Rabbi Robert Rubin of Temple Beth Or invited about a dozen houses of worship from Brick and northern Ocean County to a “Solidarity of the Faiths” comedy show, held at their temple on Van Zile Road. Vermont comedian Rabbi Doctor Bob Alper spent some 90 minutes gently poking fun at religion, family life, seminary life, pop culture, (Laughter - See Page 7)

Noise:
Continued From Page 1 Over the past three years, the settlement agreement is the biggest development in the ongoing situation, but this is not for lack of trying. Over the years, Parisi brought the matter to several governing bodies. In August 2017, his complaints were shot down by the township zoning board after they upheld the township zoning officer’s determination that the theater was not causing a noise disturbance. While township officials did adopt a new and improved noise ordinance in October 2017, one that aligned better with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s model noise ordinance, there was still no way to enforce it. Howell Township does not have a noise control officer. Parisi also faced obstacles when filing his complaint in court. An initial complaint was dismissed by the court clerk as they had to name individuals rather than corporations, namely Xscape Theatres Howell 14 and the Greenleaf plaza. This complaint was later dismissed by the judge for a misnomer, because Parisi indicated the individual in the complaint was the property owner when in fact it was the property manager. Parisi has said that he feels officials are trying to “thwart” his attempts to find a
“It relieved a lot of stress, you know, we won’t be robbing Peter to pay Paul, picking bills. This will help us tremendously,” said Daniel, who called the generous gift “life-changing.” “I still can’t believe it; I’m in shock! I can’t believe this is happening,” said Tiffaney. The Gradient Gives Back Foundation’s philosophy here is that, with help maintaining their home, these parents can continue to maintain their family.
solution. Despite the recent settlement agreement with the plaza, nothing has changed in terms of the noise generated by the theater. At the August 13 council meeting, Parisi took an opportunity during public comment to follow up with his concerns about enforcing the noise ordinance at the plaza. Parisi was told in March 2019 that Howell Township Attorney Joseph Clark would speak with the County Health Department regarding the possibility of a shared service agreement for enforcement. “Perhaps maybe it’s time that Howell Township delegated a code enforcement officer to go to get trained and certified so that they can enforce the noise ordinance in-house,” Parisi told the council. No developments on the potential shared service agreement were readily available for Parisi during the meeting. “October will be two years since the council adopted the noise ordinance from the Department of Environmental Protection…I think that were way past overdue on getting an enforcement mechanism in place,” said Parisi. Parisi noted that it was dictated in the noise ordinance that it is the council’s responsibility to protect residents from these situations, as it is a “quality of life issue.” “And without an ability to enforce…it’s not a good look for the town,” he added.

SPOTLIGHT ON GOVERNMENT Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
NJ Transit Cancellations, Performance Will Be Online TRENTON - Governor Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No. 80, requiring NJ TRANSIT rail performance metrics to be shared with the public monthly through the agency’s website. This step forward in providing transparency and accountability for commuters follows from a number of the fi ndings in the independent audit of the agency’s operations ordered by the Governor and released in October 2018. “Improving communi-
cat ion w it h cu st ome r s has been among the most impor tant objectives in our efforts to improve NJ TRANSIT performance, safety, and reliability,” said Governor Murphy. “The step we’re taking today requiring performance metrics to be released monthly will give rail commuters the information they need to make informed decisions and provide accountability to the public in real time.” “As the Board Chair of NJ TRANSIT, I am a fi rm
believer in transparency and enhanced metrics to measure our progress toward improved service,” said Transportation Commissioner and NJ TRANSIT Board Chair Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti. “Formalizing the reporting requi rements th rough an executive order ensures that NJ Transit will be held accountable for its performance for administrations to come.” “When I arrived at NJ TRANSIT, I found a hol-
lowed out, severely neglected organization which hampered our ability to deliver the ser vice ou r customers rightfully expect and deser ve,” said NJ TR ANSIT President and CEO Kevin Corbett. “We’ve taken aggressive measures to address recr uiting, infrastr uct ure needs and languishing capital projects. As a result, we are rapidly restoring the depleted ranks of employees and seeing improved performance that indicates
we’ve turned a corner. But make no mistake, we still have a lot of ground to make up. I will not be satisfied until our customers are. Increased transparency and improved metrics will hold our organization accountable at all times.” The key perfor mance metrics contained in the monthly releases will include the total number of cancellations each month and a listing of the specific types of cancellations, on time rail performance and
mean distance between failures of each NJ TRANSIT line, and other information that the Commissioner of Transportation deems appropriate to inform commuters of commuter rail performance. NJ TRANSIT will provide the public with a uniform progress report beginning with data from October 2019, to be released in November 2019. The release will also include historical month-bymonth information dating back to January 2017.

JCP&L Tips To Beat The Summer Heat
With the summer heat upon us, JCP&L is prepared to meet the anticipated increase in customer electricity usage that comes with a heat wave. Our system is designed and maintained to operate safely and efficiently even when temperatures soar, and our crews have reviewed hot weather operational procedures to ensure any power outages are handled promptly. JCP&L offers some common-sense hot weather tips customers can follow to stay comfortable while using electricity wisely during this period of high demand: • Set thermostats as high as comfort will allow. Every degree a customer can increase the temperature in their home will result in using about 3 percent less energy during the hottest summer days. • During sunny weather, close drapes or blinds on windows facing the sun to prevent direct radiant heating from impacting interior temperatures. • Use fans – moving air cools skin faster, resulting in greater comfort on hot days. • Use a programmable thermostat to keep temperatures higher when no one is home, and to reduce the temperature before arrival back home. • Only operate window air conditioners when someone is in the room. • Keep refrigerators and freezers as full as possible.
Frozen or cold items in the refrigerator help keep other items cool, reducing the amount of work the refrigerator has to do to maintain a lower temperature. • Close rooms that aren’t used regularly during the summer, and close the air conditioning vents in those rooms, as well. • Avoid using heat-producing appliances during the hottest hours of the day. The less heat produced at home, the less work the air conditioner will do. • Consider investing in ENERGY STAR® appliances or heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. JCP&L may offer rebates on these purchases and tax deductions may apply, as well. • Check air conditioner and furnace fan filters. Clogged filters waste energy and money by forcing HVAC systems to work harder than necessary. In addition, if summer storms result in downed wires it is important to avoid the area and immediately call JCP&L. If you see a downed power line, always assume it is live and dangerous. Report downed power lines immediately by calling 1-888-LIGHTSS (888-544-4877). Extra caution should be exercised in areas where downed wires may be tangled in downed tree branches or other debris.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Giant Leap Awaits Next Step In Space Exploration It was with great fanfare and acclai m that Americans recently celebr at ed t he 50 t h A nniversary of the Moon Landing. In1969, it was easy to rally around the dream of putting a man on the Moon when it was part of an intense scientific and innovative race against the Russians, but as the Space Race wound down, so too did widespread interest. The United States went to the moon not because the public demanded it, but because presidents and Congress believed it served a greater political purpose during the Cold War. Un fo r t u n a t el y, t h e public’s enthusiasm and support was short-lived after Apollo 11. The program did not receive the same enthusiastic public and political suppor t. T he levels of fe de r al spending which NASA had received had become u ntenable to a public which had become f inancially wary and disillusioned. The final three missions, Apollos 18,19, and 20, with hardware already built, and crews selected, were abruptly cancelled. Currently, there is a renewed interest in returning to the moon and
beyond, mainly due to the national pride experienced 50 years ago and now revitalized. We must thank Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins, and Buzz A ld r i n for re m i nd i ng us of the importance of science and technology to our civilization. The reasons for visiting the moon and potentially, other planets and bodies in our solar system, are numerous. They would be the greatest scientific endeavors of our exist e nce, al low i ng u s t o further understand the creation of our planet and solar system. Returning to the moon a nd beyond w ill u lt imately help us process and address another issue of great concern: the health of our big blue marble, planet Earth. It is my hope that the current enthusiasm and interest in the space program will not be shortlived once again, but the start of a new space race to the Moon and beyond. As Isaac Newton wrote in the 17th century, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Mike Collins, Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong are those giants. Bruce Miller Jackson

Barnegat’s Democracy In Jeopardy Democracy is in jeopardy here in Barnegat. Two instances occurred causing great concern on the health of our democracy and the willingness of people to have an open mind. First: Our elected representative for CD3, Congressman Andy Kim, was scheduled to speak on Aug. 29 at Mirage, as approved by their Board of Trustees. His agenda was to talk about his activities in Washington and to listen to residents’ comments and concerns. The Mirage Board rescinded their invitation because they received several threatening emails and calls from residents who were outraged, demanding that Rep. Kim not be allowed to speak. The cancellation of this event is disgraceful and those residents should be ashamed of themselves. Congressman Kim is our duly elected representative who is trying to make himself accessible to his constituents, which is the exact opposite of what his predecessor did. Second: On Aug. 6 at the Barnegat Township Committee meeting, Mayor Al Cirulli “preached” a 20-plus minute “sermon” opposing new legislation for middle/ high school curriculums to include instruction on the political/economic/social contributions of people with disabilities and the LGBTQ community. One would have thought we were in church having “fire and brimstone” thrown at us. Cirulli said this law was “…an affront to Almighty God.” At that meeting I reminded him that in this country we have a separation of church and state. The mayor frequently violates that requirement and invokes the name of Jesus Christ in many of his speeches. He is the mayor representing a governmental body and religion has no place in our government. In fact, he has refused to officiate over gay marriages.
Letters To The Editor Officiating at marriages is back any longer by regres- night the 26th, and the two a mayoral function, and if he refuses to perform that function, he should resign. In fact, I would call for his resignation now in view of his complete intolerance of the LGBTQ community. Marianne P. Clemente Barnegat
Why I’m Running For Assembly I’m Wayne Lewis, and I’m running for the General Assembly in New Jersey’s 9th Legislative District. I never thought I’d ever run for a seat in the Legislature, but the social, economic, and ecological crisis facing our state, and planet will not wait. That is why I chose to run. I graduated from Temple University with a bachelor’s in biochemistry/biophysics and went on to earn two graduate degrees from Penn State. I worked as an adjunct professor at Penn State before I fell in love with South Jersey. Since 2008, My wife Diane and I have raised our family in Galloway. For the last 15 years, I have made my living playing poker, an unorthodox background perhaps, but I have long earned a comfortable income making risk/reward decisions. As a professional, I can tell you this, anything less than drastic urgent systemic action on the crises we face is a very bad bet. I’m running one of the most progressive campaigns in the history of New Jersey - a campaign built on a fundamental message: compassion. Compassion for the poor - including those working two...even three jobs - yet forced to choose which meal to skip. Compassion for the sick, the homeless, the marginalized, and the structurally disadvantaged. Compassion for our children - who will live the worst effects of climate change. New Jersey won’t be held
sive politics and special interests. I will advocate for the right to a clean, healthy environment and quality education for our youth. I will fight to make affordable housing a right - and to end the mass exodus from New Jersey. I will push to end the failed war on drugs. To those looking for compassionate, intelligent leadership in Trenton - you deserve better. We deserve better. Our campaign isn’t about parties, it’s about people and what we hold most dear. It’s about providing an equal opportunity to live a life you find meaningful, preservation of nature in all her glorious complexity, and the rights of our great-grandchildren to enjoy these same values. Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or independent, I think we can all agree on what’s really important: resilient local communities, vibrant local economies, and a healthy planet our children can thrive on. We cannot do it alone. To be able to institute radical change in New Jersey will require equally radical participation, collective action undertaken from our campaign all the way through to decision-making throughout the legislative process. I’m asking you, personally, to come out to one of our many campaign events, hear the consistency in my message, and understand that I am not just another bought politician. I will always advocate for the ordinary people who bear the brunt of mismanagement in Trenton. Join us! Wayne Lewis Galloway Township
Manchester Cops To Be Commended From what I can see, Manchester is blessed with a terrific police force! We had to call upon them on Friday
policemen were courteous, helpful and totally above board and professional in every sense of the word. If these two fine men were representative of the entire force (and I believe they are), I cannot imagine any other town or city in New Jersey being more blessed than we are. Police don’t get enough credit for the good they do these days, in some quarters they are even despised, sadly. But in Manchester Township, New Jersey we have an awful lot to appreciate! A sincere thank you to the officers who were so helpful. Chet Jelinski Manchester
Police Have Bigger Problems To Worry About Can I ask a favor of our municipalities (including the town of Lavallette) going forward, can we stop using the term “civil servant” especially when discussing our boys (and girls) in blue? As blatantly mercenary as police work has seemingly become over the last 20 years or so, I think that most of us understand the cops themselves are typically just following orders and most would still do anything they can including putting themselves in “harm’s way” to help a stranger. Most of us also know that it’s our greedy municipal leaders who come up with ways of treating their citizens like ATMs to gather revenue for their respective municipalities via dubious violations, often times through some form of entrapment which has the opposite effect of making us feel safer. It goes beyond mercenary however, into the “mean & heartless” category when two Lavallette police officers have the gall to drive a truck onto a beach on a sunny summer Saturday and harass people in bathing (Letters - See Page 8)

Rabbi Alper said he no longer has a congregation, but when he did he would always weave jokes into his sermons. During his performance, Alper, 74, said one of his idols, Harrison Ford, now 77, is still making movies such as “Indiana Jones and the Enlarged Prostate.” A new movie in the Fugitive series is entitled “Dr. Richard Kimble Flees Assisted Living,” Alper joked. He said he taught his cat, named Bob Jr., a trick: “feigning indifference.” Alper said the state of Vermont was independent for 14 years, but joined the Union to get cable. “In the summer, Jewish farmers in Vermont drive tractors with Florida plates,” he joked. Alper said that humor is important in life. “When people are sad, comedy cheers them. When people are angry, comedy calms them,” he said to the audience. He quoted Maya Angelou, who said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you
The Howell Times, August 24, 2019, Page 7 made them feel.” Temple Beth Or member Noel Biller chaired the event, which he said was created because of the news of the day. “There are shootings and misery in the news, but here in Brick we all get along, regardless of your faith,” he said after the show. “If we accomplished this, we have achieved our goal.” Father Ed Blanchett of Visitation Roman Catholic Church in Brick came to the comedy show with six St. Vincent de Paul Society members. “It was really great, the comedian was good at making everyone of all different faiths feel comfortable, and see the humor in our own lives,” he said after the show. “It was really great to be here.” Father Gary Breton from Brick’s Orthodox Christian Church of the Annunciation attended the comedy show with eight members of his parish. “It was a great show. As he says, laughter brings us all together and allows us to deal with some of the issues going on,” he said. Tickets cost $20 in advance and $25 at the door for the comedy show. The price for the optional food tasting was $18 per person. Rabbi Rubin said that after costs, the event broke even. In addition to representatives from various houses of worship, also seen in the audience was Mayor John G. Ducey, Council President Andrea Zapcic, Councilman Jim Fozman, and Councilman Art Halloran with their spouses; and Township Planner Tara Paxton.

Continued From Page 6 suits by asking them to open their coolers so that they can inspect them for alcohol and potentially slap an ill-advised and excessive $200 fine on any adults enjoying their legally purchased adult beverages. Do we really need to continue heading in a direction where the people we pay to protect us find new ways to make us suffer on the one or two free days we have off every week? Am I out of line to call this sick and draconian behavior? Really, if you step back for a minute and see how brutally mean and nasty it is to search people’s
coolers at one of our most sacred American leisure spots, the Jersey Shore, then I would simply ask that we at least have the decency to cease using the term “civil servant” when describing our police officers. The behavior I witnessed on a recent Saturday towards countless groups of law-abiding adults from armed officers whether they were enjoying a wine cooler, a beer or a non-alcoholic soda, made me feel very sad about who our so-called authorities think the enemy is in America, because at this point, it’s all of us.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.
Inside The Law Title Insurance: Why Every Purchaser Needs It
COMMUNITY NEWS C LUB N EWS , A CTIVITIES , E VENTS & A NNOUNCEMENTS
Robert C. Shea Esq.
By: Dina M. Vicari, Esq. and Robert C. Shea, III Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Many people ask their attorneys, “what is a title search and why do I need title insurance?” Next to having the appropriate funding to purchase your new home, ensuring that the home you intend to purchase has clean or clear title is essential. All mortgage companies require clear title. It is important to ensure that you have title insurance in the event a title issue arises after you have purchased the home. Title searchers review old deeds, mortgages and wills at the County Clerk’s office to trace the ownership history of the property. They look for any current or past mortgages, liens or judgments on the property that have not been discharged as well as whether there are any tax liens or unpaid municipal utility bills. The title searchers will also examine the chain of title to confirm that the seller’s ownership rights have not been affected and that the sellers are, in fact, selling you a home without any adverse possessory or equitable interests such as pending litigation or easements. These examples are endless, but the title company performing the search has the expertise to find all relevant concerns prior to the purchase. Once the title company completes its search it will issue an insurance policy after closing which will insure you and your lender should anyone at any time in the future come knocking on your door claiming an ownership or possessory interest in your property. Should this occur, the title company will step- in and provide you with a legal defense and assume the costs of any litigation. This coverage is similar to automobile insurance after you have become involved in an automobile collision. After an automobile collision, your automobile insurer will provide you with legal assistance and take corrective measures in the event you are sued Fortunately,
unlike automobile insurance where you pay Dina M. Vicari Esq. your premium annually, monthly or quarterly, your title insurance premium is paid only once at the time of closing and this one time premium will provide insurance coverage for as long as you own the home. It is also important to note that if you have a mortgage you need to obtain both a Lender’s and Owner’s policy. The Lender’s policy covers the mount of the mortgage that is due at the time any claim is made. An Owner’s policy covers your ownership interest, which is a relatively inexpensive addition to the policy premium. In New Jersey, title insurance is usually paid by the buyer. After closing the buyer’s attorney may need to perform additional legal tasks to complete the conditions of the title policy such as filing additional deeds and discharge of mortgages. The purchaser will receive the final title policy in the mail approximately 6-8 weeks after closing. While all of this may be overwhelming, we at R.C. Shea and Associates can help you through the process. The law firm of R.C. Shea & Associates, Counsellors at Law, is a full service law firm representing and advising clients in the areas of Wills and Trusts, Estate Litigation, Personal Injury, General Litigation, Real Estate, Medicaid, Medical Malpractice, Workers’ Compensation, Land Use and Planning, Powers of Attorney and much more.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
3 Tips To Survive On Hydrocodone And Other Opioids By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Vicodin and Lortab are two brand names of one of the most popular drugs in the entire world! Generically, it is called “hydrocodone with apap” where the “apap” is an abbreviation for acetaminophen (aka Tylenol). When I worked in a busy retail pharmacy in Florida, this medication was on the fast mover shelf because it was dispensed by by the thousands each day. Hydrocodone/apap is a prescription analgesic and in the category of “opioids” which you’ve been hearing a lot about lately. Opioids are man-made drugs intended to look similar to the naturally-produced opiates made in your body. The opioid drug binds to the receptor on your cell’s outer membrane, and unlocks a variety of feel-good, numbing compounds which relax your body, increase pleasurable feelings and suppress pain signals. If you require this medication there are 3 important tips you should know about: 1. Never stop suddenly. If you’ve been supported on this medication for more than 2 weeks, do not stop suddenly. It has to be weaned. Your body has already grown tolerant to the medication and stopping suddenly could produce dangerous withdrawal effects. Step down your dose due to the downregulation of receptors that normally process important neurotransmitters such as serotonin, acetylcholine, glutamate, GABA and dopamine. 2. Reduce side effects. Hydrocodone/apap (Vicodin) is known to cause constipation as its number one side effect. You can and should anticipate it and take a stool softener like docusate. I recommend plenty of water each day, and
a diet that is rich in fiber, fruits like prunes and even oatmeal. This may not help, and in that case, an over-the-counter laxative like Miralax (polyethylene glycol 3350) or a fiber supplement like Metamucil could help. For those of you who have been on this medication or a similar one such as Oxycodone/apap (Percocet) or Oxycontin for a long time, I would like to enlighten you that constipation is the least of your worries! There is a condition termed “Narcotic Bowel Syndrome” or NBS. This condition causes gastrointestinal hypersensitivity. It’s terribly under-recognized! It’s never-ending and you will wind up getting CT scans, abdominal X-rays, MRIs, MRCPs, Ultrasounds, endoscopes down your throat, colonoscopies up through the bottom… and on and on! NBS is characterized by the progressive and somewhat paradoxical increase in abdominal pain despite continued or escalating dosages of narcotics prescribed in an effort to relieve the pain. I have more on this if you sign up for my newsletter at my website. 3. Never Drink Alcohol or Take Sleepers. Opioids are CNS depressant agents which slow everything down, including respiration.Alcohol does that too, so does Benadryl, and a host of benzodiazepine drugs. You should never combine two or more CNS depressants because it could slow your breathing down, or STOP IT completely! This is how unintended deaths occur. By the same token, herbal sedatives are also CNS depressants, so do not combine your opioid medication with magnolia bark, skullcap, lavender, California poppy, lemon balm, valerian root and others.

That’s 50 percent off the regular price of $8 per wristband.

The borough has partnered with parking lots and other businesses to offer early birds even more discounts during the same 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. time. Parking is one-half price at 1400 Ocean Terrace, 16 Hamilton Ave, and 9 Ocean Terrace. Pay $5 to park at 715 Boulevard. In addition, early birds will pay one-half price for beach chair and umbrella rentals at the Hancock Ave, Blaine Ave, Sumner Ave, and Franklin Ave beach accessories rental booths on the beach. When beach goers receive their half-price wristband, they should ask the cashier for a discount brochure containing even more savings at participating restaurants, amusements and retail stores. Details of the Get To The Beach early bird specials may be found at exit82.com/earlybird. The Seaside Heights beach has been voted Ocean County’s Favorite Beach for four consecutive years in the NJ Sea Grant annual ratings. Enjoyment in Seaside Heights doesn’t end with Labor Day, either.

PrimeTime Center Moves to New Eatontown Location
By Fran Kirschner EATONTOWN – PrimeTime Center (PTC), a day program that emphasizes independent living and actual community experiences for adults with developmental disabilities, has moved into a 7,000 sq. ft. location at 51 James Way, Eatontown. An open house is being planned late September for PTC’s new Eatontown location. Dave Mock, PTC director, said the former center
at 240 Broad Street, Eatontown, was not big enough to accommodate about 65 participants and 15 staff members. The new facility includes a state of the art kitchen that will be used for meal preparation, multiple activity rooms equipped with smartboard technology, and a large common area where participants can eat, socialize, and cultivate friendships. With the larger space, PTC also plans to offer
pre-vocational services to clients sometime in the fall. Mock said, “Learning important job skills will lead participants to greater independence and involvement in their community.” PTC also has centers at 60 High Street, Carteret, and 485 Brick Boulevard, Brick. In its three New Jersey locations, PTC employs about 45 staff members and services more than 200 participants throughout New Jersey. When they began in the summer of
2012, PTC had a staff of four and three participants. Eligible adults can apply for PTC services through the Division of Developmental Disabilities. Transportation is provided to and from the program for participants who live within a five-mile radius. For more information about the new Eatontown site, call 848-257-1400 or email Dave Mock at office@primetimecenter.org. Visit primetimecenter. org.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of AUG 24 - aug 30 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The possibilities are endless. In the week ahead you might be in your element in more than one area of life. Your quick reactions are relevant at the workplace, and romantic notions receive a warm response at home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can appear attractive and magnetic even while doing basic things like working out, shopping for groceries or washing your car. In the week ahead you may find romance even when engaged in the most mundane tasks. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’re feeling especially creative and poetic - your inner troubadour may sing sonnets celebrating love in the upcoming week, or you might want to pick up a brush or pen. A business meeting may set the scene for a romantic encounter. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be strictly pragmatic and avoid wishful thinking when you handle money or contemplate a new purchase. Be sure to show yourself and your skills to best advantage in order to make a strong impression in the upcoming week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your natural charm and appeal is at a high point and you may have a specific mental picture of how you’d like to put yourself together. A shopping expedition could yield exactly the items you hope to find. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can be both a mover and a shaker in the week ahead. You can move mountains when you decide to work toward something in particular, and you also can shake off any problems that arise like
a dog shaking off water after a bath. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Find a like-minded friend or partner and explore unusual places and wide-open spaces. The two of you can enjoy flights of fancy in the week ahead that could inspire new goals. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have the imagination to see a genuine opportunity, but you’ll need to apply practical skills to make it a success. In the week ahead, consider the pros and cons on many levels before you decide to move ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be a magician and pull a rabbit out of a hat. You’ve got the natural ability to conjure up something truly inspiring as this week unfolds. Use good sense coupled with consistent efforts to make money. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): New and interesting ideas may stimulate your need to make necessary changes in the week to come. Family members may help you come to see that to make progress you must take the first step. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You won’t be left in the dark. In the week ahead, lots of “aha” light bulbs are likely to go off in your head, illuminating any dark corners. Take notes because your new ideas may be worth a future follow-up. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There is a fine line to be drawn between imagination and symbolism that you may encounter in the week ahead. Your job or an important project may involve creative thinking and vision.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen Cool Off With Homemade Ice Cream That Captures The Essence Of Summer Fruit By Wolfgang Puck PEACH COMPOTE ICE CREAM Makes about 2 quarts (2 L) PEACH COMPOTE: 3 pounds (1.5 kg) ripe peaches (about 8 large peaches), pitted and cut into thin slices 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) granulated sugar 1 whole cinnamon stick 1/4 cup (60 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice ICE CREAM BASE: 2 cups (500 mL) whole milk 2 cups (500 mL) heavy cream 1 vanilla bean pod, cut in half lengthwise, seeds scraped out and reserved along with the bean halves 8 large egg yolks 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar FOR SERVING: Sliced fresh peaches Fresh raspberries (optional) For the peach compote: In a large saucepan, combine the peaches, sugar, cinnamon stick and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are very soft and the mixture starts to thicken, about 30 minutes. During the last 10 minutes, adjust the heat, stir more frequently, and watch carefully to prevent scorching. While the peaches are cooking, make the ice cream
base. In a clean large saucepan, combine the milk, cream and vanilla bean halves and seeds. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove the vanilla bean halves. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually whisk in the sugar until thoroughly combined. Whisking continuously, slowly pour in half of the hot cream mixture. Then, while stirring the remaining cream mixture in the saucepan over low heat using a wooden spoon, slowly pour in the egg yolk mixture. Continue stirring continuously over low heat for several minutes, cooking just until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon evenly. Do not overcook. Add the peach compote to the base, removing the cinnamon stick, and stir thoroughly. Set aside to steep for 10 minutes. Then, place a sturdy wire-meshed strainer over a large mixing bowl and pour the mixture through the strainer, pressing down firmly on the solids in the strainer to extract as much flavor as possible. Set the bowl inside a larger bowl half-filled with ice cubes and cold water, and stir the mixture occasionally until well chilled. Freeze the strained mixture in an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer’s directions. Serve immediately, or transfer to a freezer container and store in the freezer. If the ice cream has frozen solid, transfer the container to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before scooping and serving. Scoop the ice cream into individual chilled bowls, and garnish with sliced fresh peaches along with raspberries if you wish.
