By Catherine Galioto MANCHESTER – The summer demand on the wa-ter supply has again led to the township putting water restrictions on the eastern part of town. The restrictions began June 28, right after the wa-ter authority noted custom-er demand rose to record levels, in what offi-cials said was due to lawn irrigation. A notice from M ayor Ke n Pa l me r a n -nouncing the r e s t r i c t i o n said the steps are in place during peak times mainly to ensure there is enough water for basic services and emer-gencies: “Reducing water use during peak periods is essential to our provision of an uninterrupted supply of

By Jennifer Peacock Ocean County government is looking to build a garage in Manchester. The Board of Freeholders heard plans during a recent pre-Board meeting to con-struct a county road department garage in the Ridgeway section of Manchester Township. While the Freeholders’ talked about “smart growth and future savings,” the exact poten-tial would come from consolidating the Toms River facilities to Manchester. “I know the County bought the property at the 547 end of Ridgeway Road and got

By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – The aftershocks of the deadliest day for law enforcement in the United States since the September 11, 2001 attacks continue to be felt locally, as messages of support have flooded police departments. Responding to the July 7 attacks at a pro-test in Dallas were sentiments throughout Ocean County, many in prominent locations such as firehouse message display boards. Ridgeway Vol. Fire.

By Catherine Galioto OCEAN COUNTY – For nearly 70 years the Ocean County Fair has created family memories, whether showcasing the 4-H achievements of local students and farms, or with its festival atmosphere. But the history of the fair is one that has showcased the trends of the time, now in-corporating food trucks where in decades past there’d be baking contests or exhibi-tions on who had the best jam. Jeff Adams, president of the Ocean County Board of Agriculture who oversees the fair, shared several historical programs and arti-cles from the fair’s past, which dates back

Nearly 7 Decades Of Ocean County Fairto 1947, when it was more of an agricultural field day than the rides, concerts and food vendors that are a part of today’s festivities. Adams said the focus is still on those traditional 4-H fair activities, and in fact, many of those pursuits are seeing renewed interest. “We have gotten calls, asking if some of the years’ past elements would be coming back,” Adams said. Next year, when the fair turns 70, would be a great opportunity to incorporate much more fair history into the line-up. While the number of participants in the farm and animal demonstrations remain steady, Adams said this year the number of

vendors has grown. “I think that’s a sign of the recovering economy.” In 1965, the fair was still at Ocean County Park in Lakewood, and was held over two days -- August 4 and 5 – compared to the five-day festival now at Miller Airpark in Berkeley. Adams shared the fair program book from 1965, on loan from the Ocean Coun-ty Historical Society in Toms River. The booster ads showcase many legacy and now long-gone businesses, or feature faces from Ocean County history – such as a message from Freeholder Robert J. Miller, now namesake of the airpark where the fair is held. “Tomorrow’s Leaders, Today” was the theme then. In its welcome message, the fair committee mentions the free admission and parking. Today, the parking is free but a $7 general admission is required each day of the fair, which spans July 13 to 17 this year. Adams said that the old programs now only show the fair’s history, but the fair’s own commitment to history. It’s a bit of a time capsule showing the demonstrations and activities that were allowed then that just aren’t today. For example, there was once a division for folks who raised quail to exhibit their animals. These days, quail farming is a regulated activity, which lead to that fair division becoming extinct. Same with the live animal auctions, such as the “fat lamb” auction or Blue Ribbon prized lamb auction, where 4-H members could auction off their

prized stock. Or there’s the use of “Queen of the Fair” or “Princess” contests, when there is now the annual Fair Ambassador, for example. The 1965 program also mentioned the many other fair activities, such as the pie-eating contest and milk-drinking con-test. On the first day of the fair, you could find a barbershop quartet contest or join the big square dance on the second day. Check out the fair’s chicken dinner for $1.50 and

Planning Board Approval to create a satel-lite facility there. From what I have heard the area is supposed to be a mini Public Works yard where they would keep equip-ment and materials on site to better serve the county roads and property in this area,” Council Vice President Samuel Fusaro told The Manchester Times. “The south side of Ridgeway, toward Leisure Knoll, is zoned for Light industry and as such their facility would meet the standards of the zone. I have not heard what the County’s time line is for starting and completing the project.” The Ridgeway site would create new, bigger space for operations that are currently housed on Route 9 and Chestnut Street in Toms River. “The cost savings results from the consoli-dation and centralization of portions of Ocean County operations that include but are not lim-ited to roads, transportation, vehicle services and warehouse operations,” said Donna Flynn, county spokesperson. “Ocean County has not attached a static dollar amount to this since the savings are the result of the efficiencies from the consolidation and centralization of operations and also cost avoidance.”

The plan would also include closing the county garage in Jackson, she said. The moves are part of a countywide look at where its facilities are and how they are used, and how to plan for future growth. “For example, Ocean County will decom-mission and close its road department garage in Jackson Township moving those opera-tions to the new road department garage in Manchester once that is built,” Flynn said. “Also the transportation department and some vehicle services operations currently located on Route 9 in Toms River would be relocated to the Manchester site resulting in the building on Route 9 being closed and decommissioned by the County. Similar actions would be taken with a warehouse located on Chestnut Street in Toms River.” Fusaro said that for Manchester, there are pros and cons. “The pros are the county should be able to get operations in Manchester underway sooner with primary benefit of plowing snow covered County roads quicker than they can now,” said the township councilman. “On the down side as a government facility we will lose the taxes associated with that parcel. It’s not a lot since it was vacant land, but it does prevent a tax-paying business from locating there. That

industrial park is currently the only one on the East side of town, with no plans to designate any additional sites.” According to the Freeholders’ press release, “the plan provides a number of suggestions that would result in a domino effect by moving government functions to proposed new facil-ities which would open up space in current buildings. It would also allow the county to not renew leases once they end which would provide substantial cost savings.” The plan indeed has the necessary approvals, but construction has been delayed in economic downturn in the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy. “Moving transportation would provide more space, longer bays and a greater ease in maintaining buses and vehicles that are part

of the county’s public transportation system,” Freeholder Virginia E. Haines said. She serves as liaison to the Ocean County Transportation Department. “The new facility would also pro-vide a more efficient way to service our buses and vehicles by the Vehicle Services staff. “These suggestions are key to a better func-tioning county government and its related agencies,” Haines said. The garage in Manchester would create a domino effect of shifting and consolidating operations of different agencies and depart-ments around the county, which the Freehold-ers believe would lead to cost savings and streamlined services. According to county officials, the county government maintains about 135 buildings throughout the county.

afterward enjoy the Ocean County String Band’s concert, billed as “The Happiest Music In The World.” “When you get into conversation with people about the fair, the memories come out of the person you are talking with. I hear so many stories of memories of the fair, many things I share, but always some-thing unique that was important to that person,” said Adams. “Obviously it was a significant time while growing up. I want to be a part of that kid’s memory 20, 30 years from now. They don’t need to know me, they just need to remember the good time that was had.” He said a significant number of people ask

if the fair would ever go back to its original location, in Ocean County Park, Lakewood. But he said the logistics are better at Miller Airpark, where the traffic lanes allow for less gridlock and there is more access and ground to add rides that wouldn’t be possi-ble at the Lakewood county park. Adams helps take the reins of the fair as a co-manager through the auspices of the county board of agriculture as the Meyer Family retires from the role as organizers. The Meyers, who ran the fair for more than 30 years through several generations, helped to bring their expertise as festival and carnival operators to that chapter of the fair’s history. Adams said the fair marries the 4-H ex-hibits with the carnival. There’s thrill rides and cotton candy but also prized rabbits

and chickens. You can find a rock concert or a horse show going on at this year’s fair. “I think the goals over the years for the fair have been to make sure 4-H kids have a platform to showcase their work, provide fun and entertainment for all fair goers, represent the county, create an event that parents can share with their kids and also be a financially successful event for the Ocean County Board of Agriculture,” he said. Growing up enjoying the fair himself, what was Adams’ favorite things to do? “I am an animal person. I enjoy seeing the animals that the kids have raised and cared for during the year. You will always see a chicken, duck or rabbit breed that you have never seen before,” he said. On July 11, the tent displays were already

up and the buzz of activity was well under-way as Adams and the planning committee was zipping around the yet-to-be-assem-bled fairgrounds via golf cart, tending to all the chores. Rides would arrive that evening, and vendors would set up the final touches on their displays July 13 afternoon. “We have some old entertainment that is returning that has been popular, new acts like bull riding that I think will be well received. We made some changes in the ride area that will allow the ride vendor to bring in several more rides, some bigger and more variety,” he added. Special entertainment includes After the Reign and the Amish Outlaws musical acts, as well as a comedy hypnotist/magician. For a full schedule, see the fair’s website at oceancountyfair.com.

flowers, or any vegetation. Properties with odd numbered street addresses may water only on odd cal-endar dates (such as July 29) except for the 31st of a month on which watering is prohibited. Properties with even numbered street addresses may water only on even cal-endar dates (such as July 28). Watering is not permitted between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Watering of any single area shall not exceed 30 minutes in a day.

These restrictions shall apply to all residential and commercial properties served by Manchester Township that are located in the Water Utility’s Eastern Service Area except for public parks, public recreation areas and nurseries. Hanging plants are exempt. Any newly seeded or sodded lawn areas for up to 30 days after initial seeding or sodding are also exempt provided there is a small sign visible from the street in the front yard indicating “new seed” or “new sod” and the date of installation. These restrictions shall not apply to residents and commercial properties which are served by other water utility

companies or which obtain their potable water from their own private well. These restrictions shall not apply to customers that obtain water for lawn and landscape watering from their own private well provided they place a small sign visible from the street in their front yard indicating “Private Well.” Violators of these restr ictions are subject to fines. The township also issued several practices for residents to keep in mind,

as further ways to conserve water: use self-closing nozzles on all hoses; use a broom to sweep your sidewalk or patio rather than a hose; run washing machines and dishwashers only when full; turn off faucets when not in use, such as while brushing your teeth or washing dishes; and use soaker hoses or drip irrigation to water trees, gardens and f lower beds.

Summer has arrived! Whether you’re spending time by the Jersey Shore or by the local pool, the American Heart Associa-tion encourages families to be prepared for summer safety by learning cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, or CPR. Accidents, choking and drowning are leading causes of death in children. Every day, about 10 people die from unintentional drowning, according to the Centers for Disease Con-trol (CDC). Of these, two of the 10 are children aged 14 or younger. Learning CPR can help save lives in cases of drowning. CPR is also vital when sudden cardiac arrest – a leading cause of death in America – strikes without warning.

We urged the Board in the past to add five festivals on the list, which are included on the list. This “List” is a step in the positive direction and we thank NJSBE and its President Mark W. Bierdon for being inclusive. We urge other 49 US states and District of Columbia to include all these 19 Hindu festivals on their lists of religious holidays permitting student absence from school. Hinduism is rich in festi-vals and festivals are very dear to Hindu families. Since families want to celebrate these festivals together along with their school going children, we do not want our children to be deprived of any privi-leges at the school because of thus resulting absences on these days. According to the NJSBE resolution: “Any student absent from school because of a religious holiday may not be deprived of any award or of eligibility or opportunity to compete for any award because of such absence,” “Students who miss a test or examination because of absence on a re-ligious holiday must be giv-en the right to take an alter-nate test or examination,” “Boards of education, at their discretion, may add other days to the list for the schools of their districts,” and “Any absence because of a religious holiday must be recorded…as an excused absence.”Rajan ZedPresident, Universal Society of Hinduism

If drones are used improp-erly, it could be a hazard and invasion of privacy. Nowhere in the June 4 let-ter, “Let Drones Fly,” is the word “responsibility” used. Flying over public events could be an invitation to in-juries and possible fatalities if a malfunction to the craft occurs and flying over res-idential areas has the same potential for disaster. The Academy of Mod-el Aeronautics’ National Model Aircraft Safety Code states “all pilots shall avoid f lying directly over un-protected people, vessels, vehicles or structures, and shall avoid endangerment of life and property of others.” Recently a drone flying over Leisure Village West crashed into a house. For-tunately there were no in-juries, but in violation of the safety code, no visible name, address or AMA number of the owner was affixed to the outside of the drone. The question that must be asked, why was it f lying over a residen-tial area? The drone was equipped with a camera and a GPS system leaving much room for conjecture as to the reason for being overhead. Accepted is the fact that drones may have a positive effect for some local compa-nies, but if used for profes-sional reasons, there should be insurance coverage, giv-en the fact the majority of drones are flown by ama-teurs who are flying without training, or insurance for if a minor flies the drone with-

Since Christie cut funding for these ser-vices in 2010, six women’s health clinics have closed and over a dozen others have cut hours, including Saturday hours which al-low working women to access affordable repro-ductive healthcare if they cannot take off work. FQHCs, or Federally Qualified Health Centers, are intended to provide healthcare to all regardless of income, yet they alone are not enough to support NJ women’s health needs, and sometimes refer wom-en to Planned Parenthood. I support Planned Parent-hood in their efforts to re-store funding to benefit NJ citizens’ health; in Ocean County alone, STI rates have risen nearly 50 per-cent since 2010’s funding was cut. In May, I called the of-f ice of Senator Samuel Thompson, the NJ District 12 Senator, asking to leave a message for the Senator to indicate constituent sup-port of the bill. I was hung up on by a staff member who claimed not to know a lot about the issue; he did not take my message. Our legislature needs to pass this bill and, in the case of a veto by Governor Christie, override the veto to pro-vide New Jersians with the healthcare they need.E. Rosie DriscollJackson

Since 2008, the Ameri-can Heart Association has recommended Hands-Only CPR when you witness an adult or teen suddenly collapse. Hands-Only CPR teaches basic steps: First, call 9-1-1 and then push hard and fast on the center of the chest until professional help or an AED arrives.

NEW JERSEY – Legisla-tion sponsored by Senator Jim Holzapfel (R-Ocean), and fellow District 10 legis-lators, which creates a task force to study industry-wide systems for tracking stolen jewelry, has passed the New Jersey Senate. The “Sec-ondhand Valuables Transac-tion Reporting Task Force” would also make recommen-dations for implementing the system for retail and law enforcement use. Senator Holzapfel’s bill

creates “The Secondhand Valuables Transaction Re-porting Task Force” to study systems to track and return stolen jewelry. “We currently have excel-lent record-keeping systems in place to track and recover stolen jewelry from pawn-shops,” Senator Holzapfel said. “As we saw during the rash of burglaries in Mon-mouth County, criminals are circumventing these systems by selling stolen goods to jewelry stores who

do not have access to the same program. This task force will investigate how to arm all retailers with cutting edge systems to track stolen valuables, report crimes to law enforcement and return these treasured items to the rightful owner.” Senator Holzapfel’s bill, S-1002, creates a task force to study the programs and systems used to track sec-ondhand and used jewelry acquired through theft, in order to recover the jewelry

and return it to its rightful owner. The bill directs the task force to issue a report of its findings and recom-mendations to law enforce-ment and retailers no later than six months after its initial meeting. Under current law, pawn shops must hold on to pur-chased goods for a year, to ease the process of tracking and recovering stolen items. There is no current law mandating jewelry stores to hold on to purchased jewel-

ry. As a result, stolen jew-elry is often quickly resold to smelters. The identical Assembly version of the bill (A-2224) is co-sponsored by fellow District 10 legislators Assemblymen McGuckin and Wolfe, as well as Re-publican Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli (R-16.) The 11-member taskforce established under the bill must include three county prosecutors, municipal law enforcement officers, a jew-elry retailer, a pawnbroker,

a person in the business of buying precious metals, as well as officials from the At-torney General’s Office and New Jersey State Police. The legislation has re-ceived the support of the Ocean County Prosecutor, Ocean County Chief of Detectives and Egg Harbor Township Police Chief.

OCEAN COUNTY – A continual downward slide in the state grant funding used to operate Ocean Ride has resulted in key changes to Ocean County’s public transportation system so it can continue to provide essential ridership services in particular to the elderly and the disabled. “Let me assure you that we are committed to maintain-ing a high quality transpor-tation system and we will continue to seek creative ways to sustain it, while holding down costs and managing the anticipated future reductions in the Casino grant,” said Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Transportation Services Department, during a public hearing on the state grant application. Ocean County will apply to NJ Transit for continued funding under the Senior Citizen and Disabled Res-ident Transportation As-sistance program, which revenues are derived from casino revenues. NJ Transit notified Ocean County the anticipated grant

OC Finds Ways To Keep Ocean Ride Moving Aheadamount for fiscal year 2017 is $1,307,858, a decrease of $97,103. “The grant represents a major resource in terms of the county’s overall trans-portation budget accounting for 33 percent of the annual budget,” said David L. Fitz-gerald, director of the Ocean County Transportation De-partment. Haines noted the county’s contribution for the service accounts for roughly $2.9 million, which represents more than 53 percent of Ocean Ride’s total budget. Fitzgerald said casino funds used to support Ocean Ride peaked in 2008 and since that time Ocean County has lost about $1.5 million in annual awards, going from $2.8 million to approximate-ly $1.3 million. “This has resulted in us thoroughly reviewing all aspects of this service,” Haines said. “And the Ocean Ride staff has developed smart strategies to keep this transportation system func-tioning so it continues to be beneficial to our residents.” Haines said that following a thorough review of the proposed 2017 grant fund-

ing with Fitzgerald, Ocean County Administrator Carl Block and Chief Finan-cial Officer Julie Tarrant a spending plan that would avoid reductions in services next year was developed. The review resulted in re-ducing the employee fringe benefit rate to 40 percent, a 24 percent reduction. “This rate reduction of more than a third of the full rate translates into a $200,000 savings under the salary and wage por-tion of the grant budget,” Haines said. “This fringe rate reduction will allow the transportation department to cover all 2017 projected existing personnel and ser-vices, freeing up operating money for other line items such as bus repair and main-tenance and will actually help fund the purchase of two new minibuses.” Grant funds cover a portion of the operational expenses, repairs and maintenance, minigrant program, reserve a ride program, fixed bus service, veterans’ transpor-tation and other services of Ocean Ride. In an effort to maximize its funding, Ocean County has

made important upgrades to its transportation software system, including new on board tablets in the vehicles making it more efficient for drivers and more helpful for its ridership. In addition the department continues to monitor all service levels for efficiencies. Speakers at the June 16 public hearing offered their praise for Ocean Ride noting that it made a difference in the lives of many seniors and the disabled living in Ocean County. Linwood McWilliams of Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey said the ser-vices provided were ap-preciated by the Caregiver Organizations.

“It’s nice to have a service we can rely on for our se-niors,” he said. Walter Preston, who serves as vice chairman of the Ocean County Transpor-tation Advisory Commit-tee for Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities, highlighted the importance of partnerships which help make Ocean Ride success-ful. “With the support of the Board of Freeholders, the Advisory Committee and the Ocean Ride staff we are all working together to do what is best for the people of Ocean County,” Preston said. Don Lippincott Jr., of Com-munity Services Inc., the

county’s nutrition program provider called Ocean Ride “an absolute lifesaver.” “The seniors who are homebound depend on you for doctor’s visits and the opportunity to just get out of the house for a little while,” he said. “You’re doing a great job.” In 2015, Ocean Ride pro-vided 313,167 trips. “It’s important we work to minimize the negative effects reduced casino fund-ing has on Ocean Coun-ty’s transportation system,” Haines said. “Our Ocean Ride staff works to make certain we are providing the best service possible within the current constraints of a shrinking budget.”

TOMS RIVER – Two Ocean County Voca-tional Technical School students were named the inaugural recipients of the Hard Hat Hunter Scholarship at recent OCVTS graduation cer-emonies. Ryan T. Simoes, an OCVTS welding student from New Egypt, and Robert Conway, an OCVTS new home construction student from Brick, were recognized for their work ethic and accomplishments while completing their programs of study. Hard Hat Hunter is an online platform spe-cifically geared to those who work within the trades and construction sectors. It allows companies and members of the industry to profile skillsets, highlight accomplishments and connect with other professionals. It fo-cuses on facilitating the connection of skilled labor with industry. Additionally, it provides

access to safety resources, articles and sec-tor-related news. Based in Canada, Hard Hat Hunters launched its presence in New Jersey in May when key members of the team visited several OCVTS campuses that offer construction trade-related programs. A meeting with the construction trade instructors provided valuable learning tools on the website, which can be integrated into curriculum. OCVTS students and graduates can create a profile on the Hard Hat Hunters website, hardhathunters.com, which includes education, training and skills; work experience; photos of projects as well as personal interests. Hard Hat Hunters members can connect with other pro-fessionals, companies and industry leaders for employment opportunities, sharing of informa-tion and continuous feed of construction-related articles and news. Ocean County Vocational Technical School strives to incorporate partnerships and network-ing opportunities that provide students with valuable resources well beyond graduation.

TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Vocational Technical School held its 93rd commencement ceremony for the graduates of the practical nursing program. The grad-uates have persevered through the curricu-lum and completed the 11-month program. Several graduates received scholarships and recognition for outstanding achievements. The Ocean County Foundation for Voca-tional Technical Education presented the Award of Academic Excellence and the Outstanding Student Award to: MaryAnn Morrison, from Brick, for maintaining the highest grade point average; Delta Galu, from Bayville, for maintaining the second highest averages and Natalie Nero, from Lakewood, for maintaining the third highest grade point average throughout the program. Over half of the required hours of the practical nursing program involve clinical rotations at over a dozen local hospitals and health care facilities, which provide valu-able opportunities for students to gain expe-rience and apply classroom theory. Several graduates who excelled overall in the clin-

ical work they performed were selected by the professional nursing staff they worked with for special recognition. Through the generosity of the Perlmutter Shop Rite of Ocean County, the HealthSouth Clinical Excellence Award was presented to Alexis Brown, from Little Egg Harbor. Through the generosity of Green Acres/Magnolia Gardens Nursing and Rehabilitation, the Clinical Excellence Award was presented to Olga Torres, from Bayville. The students are now prepared to take the National Council Licensure Examination for qualification as a licensed practical nurse. Last year, OCVTS nursing gradu-ates attained a 95.38 percent pass rate for nursing licensure exam, surpassing both the state average of 70 percent and the national average pass rate of 82.14 percent. OCVTS graduates boasted the highest pass rate in the state of New Jersey for vocational nursing programs.

Smart Phone Connectivity Technology offers all of us the op-portunity to do amazing things every day that would have been unimag-inable even 10 years ago. The advent and popularity of smartphones, such as the iPhone, has made our lives more convenient to the world around us than it has ever been. Our goal is to allow us an opportu-nity to connect people to the world around them in ways they may have forgotten, or never known in the first place; using the most advanced hearing technology available. Sev-eral hearing aid manufacturers including GN Resound and Starkey have developed hearing instruments which are iPhone compatible. What do patients like the most about this interactive breakthrough in hearing technology? Here’s what we’ve gathered: The ability to stream phone calls,

music, videos, FaceTime calls, and Siri from you cell phone straight to your hearing aids. The ability to make subtle adjust-ments for environmental changes with the touch of a finger, and that your iPhone remembers those set-tings, so the next time you return to your favorite places, you won’t need to make the same adjustments. The ability to use your iPhone as an additional microphone during conversations-place it on a table at a busy restaurant and connect with friends, family, and other loved ones more clearly. The ability to use your iPhone as a detector to find lost or misplaced hearing aids…GPS The convenience of all of these features in one handheld, easy-to-use device that you already carry with you.

Why You Shouldn’t Eat Leftovers Or Fermented Foods

Many of you are eating fermented foods and drinking kombucha under the advice of well-meaning practitioners, bloggers or magazine articles you’ve read. If you have any autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s, Graves’ disease), or have hypothyroidism, insomnia, gastrointesti-nal disorders, chronic pain, panic attacks, fatigue, depression, anxiety, chronic headaches, skin rashes or brain fog, your miserable symptoms could be coming from what’s on your plate. Fermented foods are, by definition, a food that is undergoing the process of turning into alcohol through the use of yeast, bac-teria, fungus (mold) or enzymes that break down the food. It’s food that’s starting to rot a little, right? For example, it’s milk that’s starting to rot and turn into cheese. Tofu is fermented soy and sauerkraut is fermented cabbage. Grapes become alcohol.. Ferment a sausage and you’ll get salami. As you read this today, I want you to ask yourself:Do I react well or badly after eating cheese, cold cuts, yogurt or any fermented food, including tofu and leftovers. Do I react well after drinking wine, soy milk or kombucha? Did you know one of the top reasons for migraines is fermented foods? The logic in recommendations to restore friendly gut bacteria to your microbiome is important, it’s essential. I’m all for a healthy gut. I’ve been an advocate for probiotic supplemen-tation for two decades, before it became vogue. But the tight junctions in your gut

aren’t really closing up after you eat tofu or drink vinegar (kombucha), and if it is happening, your zonulin levels should come down. Feel free to send me a study that proves that. Fermented foods may cause uncom-fortable side effects for some of you like bloating, flatulence, belching, headaches, palpitations, itchiness and rashes. Fer-mented foods and drinks are very high in histamine. Eating high-histamine foods can cause histamine levels to skyrocket within minutes and it will accumulate to a sickening level if you cannot break it down fast enough and it accumulates. Throw out leftovers because they are high in histamine. The Internet is a black hole of bad information. So because fermented foods are high in histamine, I say to avoid them if you have an autoimmune disorder. Now, I’m not trying to take all your fun away. I know you love some of those foods. I’m not saying they are bad for all of you. But all of you who eat fermented foods or drink fermented drinks know who you are…you are still the ones who are miserable with plaguing symptoms, and if you trace it back in your mind, there may be a correlation to what you are eating and drinking. This is what I want you to think about and if you have the mind clarity, keep a food diary and see if you can track flare-ups to fermented foods. If you sign up for my free newsletter, I’ll send you an email with a longer version of this article, and a list of foods that are high in histamine.

Dear Joel By Joel Markel

If you or anyone else is in need of home health care, call Preferred at 732-840-5566. “Home health care with feeling. Joel Markel is President of Preferred Home Health Care and Nurs-ing services inc. serving all of New Jersey in adult, senior and pediatric home health care.”

Dear Joel I am seriously overweight. As a 43 year-old woman, I can’t believe what I have done to myself. When I was younger I had a beautiful body and now look like an inflated balloon. My husband doesn’t seem to mind but I walk around feeling embarrassed with the way I look. I no longer look good in anything; new clothes that I buy do nothing to change my situation. What can I do?

Answer: When we are in situations such as yours, we have a tendency to feel sorry for ourselves rather than do anything about it. You have choices to make. You can either go on feeling badly about yourself or take control of your situation. I must remind you that when I write this column I am simply a friend to my readers. I am neither a doctor or have formal training in mental health. That being said it is important to me that you see a physician about your condition. You may be at risk for heart disease and diabetes. Both are at epidemic proportions in our country. As you may know, most diets fail. I do, however, have faith in two organi-zations for people such as yourself and

so many oth-e r s w h o su f fe r w i t h you. Weight Watchers (of which I am a member) does a fantastic job of helping people who have weight challenges. Another organization is Overeaters Anonymous. These are inexpensive ways of working toward having a happier life. You may want to visit either as a guest. Weight Watchers has a philosophy of changing one’s lifestyle with a benefit of weight reduction. I am not a believer in starting exercise and diet at the same time. I feel that your chances of sticking with both are greater if you start either one a month or two apart. Lastly, as I’m sure you are aware, this is a chicken-and-egg story. It may be that you are unhappy or depressed and use your obesity as a way of expressing it. In other words, it is the opposite of what you describe. I wish you well.

R.C. Shea & Assoc. Inside The Law

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.732-505-1212 ● RCSHEA.COM

Previous articles reviewed the land use application submission and presentation process; this article will review what is required to be performed after an approval is obtained. The memorialized approval is placed in written form called a Res-olution. Part of the Resolution outlines the Condition of Approval, which acts as a checklist of the items that must be submitted to zoning and engineering prior to obtaining construction permits. Satisfy-ing those conditions is called Resolution Compliance. Once an applicant receives the Resolution of approval, the first requirement is to prepare and publish a Notice of Decision. This provides a general notice in the offi-cial newspaper as to the details of the ap-proval received. Proof of this publication must be provided to the board secretary. Contained within the Resolution may also be requirements for various legal documents. Examples of these docu-ments are: Lot Consolidation Deeds, which consolidate various lots owned by the applicant under one lot number; Cross-Access Agreements, which will allow neighboring businesses or residents to utilize a common driveway or parking area; and Easements, which earmark cer-tain portions of the property for access by other agencies to maintain or service util-ity structures or equipment which may be on the property, or may identify portions of the property that are to be undeveloped to preserve the environment or ensure visibility at an intersection. Of course, this is not a comprehensive list, and what is required depends on the specific reliefs granted in the applicant’s approval. What is consistent through-

out the process is that these are legal doc-uments requiring the attachment of legal de-scriptions and reduced plans, requiring review and approval of the Board professionals and, in some cases, the documents must be recorded with the County Clerk. Certainly, the preparation of these documents is best performed by a qualified land use attorney. Additionally, the Resolution may require plan revisions, payment of additional fees and escrows and approvals from outside agencies. Those agencies may be other local agencies, such as local sewerage, utility and municipal authorities; County agencies, such as Planning Board and Soil Conservation; and/or state agencies, such as NJDOT and NJDEP. Again, each ap-plicant requires a combination of varying approvals. This office can coordinate the receipt of those approvals and prepare a final submission to the local land use board to successfully complete Resolution Com-pliance. Receiving Resolution Compliance approval will then allow the applicant to construct their proposed project. As can be seen from the information above, the perfection of a land use appli-cation approval before a Land Use Board requires an understanding of the MLUL and legal experience. The attorneys at the Law Office of R.C. Shea and Associates can assist to make this process stress free. Look for future articles on the Land Use Process which will review the components of a resolution and the post-approval com-pliance procedures.

OCEAN COUNTY – In response to the recent rise in temperatures, Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, liaison to the Office of Senior Services, said the heatwave is especially dangerous to the county’s senior citizens. “We ask our seniors to drink plenty of water and stay indoors in air conditioning if possible,” Vicari said. “Family members, friends and neighbors should also check in with older residents to ensure that they are okay.” The Office of Senior Services, with the assistance of the Health Department, has prepared a free “Beat the Heat” guide filled with tips and advice on how to stay safe during the summer’s hottest days. The guide is available under the Office of Senior Services on the Ocean Coun-ty website co.ocean.nj.us or by calling 800-668-4899. Vicari said the 21 branches of the Ocean County Library system are open normal hours and are fully air conditioned. “Each local library branch makes for an ideal cooling station,” he said. “There are some very simple precau-tions that can be taken to keep s safe during extended periods of heat,” said Daniel Regenye, Ocean County Health

Department (OCHD) public health co-ordinator. “This is especially important for children and seniors who are more at risk for heat-related illnesses. Stay in the air-conditioning, drink plenty of f luids, water is best, avoid caffeine and alcohol, wear light clothing and limit outdoor ac-tivities during the hottest part of the day. Take these necessary precautions to prevent serious health effects such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke: Stay cool – If residents do not have air-conditioning, visit the local library, a supermarket, the mall, the movies, or other public locations with air-condi-tioning. Stay hydrated – Drink more water than usual. Drink from two to four cups of water every hour while working or exer-cising outside. Avoid alcohol or liquids containing high amount of sugar. Stay informed – Check the local news for extreme heat warning and safety tips. Keep family members aware of weather and heat safety information. Visit the Ocean County Health Department website at ochd.org or follow the Health Department on Twitter@OCpublichealth for more information.

County Urges PrecautionDuring Extreme Heat OCEAN COUNTY – “Click It or Ticket”

mobilization played a role in the effort to keep people safe on the nation’s roads and highways. From May 23 to June 5, law enforcement agencies in New Jersey, and nationwide, conducted “Click It or Ticket” campaigns that incorporate zero-tolerance enforcement of safety belt laws with paid advertising and the support of government agencies, local coalitions and school offi-cials to increase safety belt use and defend against one of the greatest threats to us all – serious injury or death in traffic crashes. “Click It or Ticket” is a high-publicity law enforcement effort that gives people more of a reason to buckle up – the increased threat of a traffic ticket. Most people buck-le up for safety. But for some people, it is the threat of the ticket that spurs them to put on a safety belt. In “Click It or Ticket” programs, law enforcement agencies are asked to mobilize to focus on safety belt violations and publicize the stepped-up effort through news media and advertis-ing. It is the two-pronged approach that

makes these campaigns powerful: not only are tickets issued to unbelted motorists, but the surrounding publicity ensures that people know they are more likely to get a ticket. “Click It or Ticket” campaigns and similar efforts have increased safety belt use in cities, states and even in an entire region of the country. In New Jersey, 372 police agencies participated in the May 2015 “Click It or Ticket” enforcement mobilization. New Jersey’s seat belt usage rate currently stands at 91.36 percent, up from 87.59 percent in 2014 and the highest usage rate since the 94.51 percent that was recorded in 2011. The following Ocean County police de-partments received $5,000 grants under Click It or Ticket: Barnegat, Bay Head, Harvey Cedars, Jackson, Lakehurst, Lakewood, Long Beach, Manchester, Matoloking, Ocean County Sheriff’s Of-fice, Pine Beach, Plumsted, Point Pleasant Beach, Point Pleasant, Ship Bottom and Stafford.

Professional ProfileBy Robert D. Verderese

The first thing you will notice upon meeting Joel Markel, President and owner of Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services, a home health care agency, is his friendly and soothing demeanor. The cadence of his voice reveals a compassion that is as genuine as it is heart-felt. In a business which con-cerns itself with traumatic family sit-uations, Joel’s caring bedside man-ner seems all-the-more important. Indeed, the company motto, “Home Health Care with Feeling,” is not just a catchy sales pitch but rather the core of the business ethos—born out of a series of family tragedies which ultimately manifested in Joel a profound and compelling empathy. Joel’s misfortunes commenced when he was about 35 years old with the news that his widowed sis-ter Helen had been diagnosed with terminal skin cancer. Consequently, Markel and his wife Stephanie took Helen and her two young sons into their home. “We could not find a home health care agency that pro-vided the full-time care my sister required’’, Markel recollected. “On top of that, my sister lamented over never seeing the same person twice. This did not comfort her.” A short time after this cancer reared its ugly head again when their son Ryan was born with pedi-atric cancer. “Nurses who were pediat-ric specialists and willing to care for Ryan at home were extremely hard to come by,” Markel recalls. “And all of the nurses were reluctant to treat Ryan by virtue of how sick he was.” During this trying time, Markel learned a lot about home health care agencies. He learned that most were very limited in terms of the care that was provided. Most only provided services for geriatric care; with very few providing care for children and fewer still for both the old and the young. He also discovered that there were almost no nurses who were qualified to care for patients who were severely sick. “The care that was available at this time was not adequate for us,” Markel recounts. “My wife and I realized that virtually all health care agencies were defi-cient both from a professional and emotional standpoint.” Tragically, Joel Markel’s sister Hel-en died shortly after his son Ryan was born and Ryan—who had acute complications from birth—passed at 11 months of age. As a result of these tribulations, Markel’s heart—although filled with grief— began to orient itself in a more empathetic sphere. “I longed to talk with parents

who lost children. I wanted to help them with their pain and in turn for them to help me. I wanted to comfort them and for them to comfort me—I needed some kind of support!” Markel reminisced with unbridled passion. Teeming with empathy, Markel resolved to start a support group for fathers who lost children. This under-

taking, however, quickly revealed itself to be one of futility insofar as fathers had no desire communicat-ing their losses to one another. This harrowing time in Markel’s life he aptly described as his ‘Book of Job’ time. Nevertheless, it was this dark period which shed light on the significance of quality home health care in people’s lives. “I started re-ally contemplating the possibility of running a home health care agency,” Markel reflected. This contempla-tion became a reality when—after reading in The New York Times that a home health care agency in central New Jersey was for sale—Markel shortly after bought the company with the intent of dedicating all his efforts to providing comprehensive home health care ‘with feeling’ to people in the greatest need. Servicing New Jersey and Penn-sylvania, Markel’s vision of providing superior home health care with an emotional touch has been fully actualized by Preferred: “We foster a culture of emotional connectivity here. It is essential for our caregiv-ers to assume a familial role for the people they take care of,” Markel

explains. To be sure, at Preferred, caregivers provide an important social connection for their patients as well as an outlet to social activi-ties—with transportation to adult day care or simply having company or professional assistance for a walk in the neighborhood. Preferred Home Health Care’s success Markel attributes almost

exclusively to its ten-et: “Home Health Care with Feeling.” He believes it’s that emphasis on com-passion for others which has sustained the agency for more than 25 years. “We care for people and are committed to helping as many

people in need of quality home health care as possible” says Markel. Preferred services include care for infants, babies, adults and seniors, tailored to meet each pa-tient’s specific needs. The agency provides around-the-clock or hour-ly service, with either medical or non-medical assistance available. Whether it is 24 hour service from a registered nurse or 3 hour a day care from a home health aide, the com-pany’s underlying mission remains sin-gular—to treat each patient like family in the comfort of their home, (rather than living in a hospital) promoting indepen-dence and dignity for an optimal quality of life. “Every caregiver at Preferred must have a bona fide passion for the work they do,” Markel expresses. “It’s not just a preference,

it’s a prerequisite,” he continues. Although hiring caregivers who are passionate is paramount at Preferred, other more tangible qualifications are important as well. For instance, all of the caregivers that work for the agency are fully licensed, bonded and insured, and are subject to a thorough screening and vetting process. Indeed, it is this fusion of ‘passion’ and ‘quality’ which really distinguishes Preferred from its competitors and serves as the principal impetus for the company’s long-standing success. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses also figure promi-nently within Preferred Home Health Care’s family of professionals. For more than 20 years, these highly skilled caregivers provide state-of-the-art services and technology to their patients. In addition, the clinical professionals at Preferred teach patients and their families how to manage their illnesses or injuries and explain post-treat-ment home care needs, such as: diet, nutrition, exercise programs and self-administration of medication. The RNs

and LPNs at Preferred are also instrumental in establishing a care plan or contribute to an existing plan developed by the patient’s doctor. When Joel Markel bought Pre-ferred, over 20 years ago, he could never have envisioned the compa-ny’s current status as a multi-facet-ed, premiere health care agency. By surrounding himself with good, smart, highly qualified people who shared his ‘philosophy of care,’ Markel set out to create a health care agency that went far beyond its tra-ditional confines. For instance, more than half of the agency’s patients are children who have serious medical conditions. These children are cared for by RNs with specialized pediatric expertise which is second-to-none, who provide the most advanced, integrated and extensive services available. Preferred also provides individual care for children while at school, assisting with bus trans-portation, fieldtrips and providing a clinical eye that is as vigilant as it is consequential. To say that Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services was born out of tragedy is as true as the changing seasons. The idea to start the business began with Markel’s difficulty of not being able to find quality home health care for both his terminally sick sister and seriously ill son, and tragically culminating with their respective deaths. But it was this dark experience which made Markel aware of the importance of compre-hensive home health care and which ultimately motivated him to create Preferred Home Health Care and Nursing Services—home health care ‘with feeling.’ You can reach Preferred anytime via preferredcares.com or by calling 800-603-CARE (2273).

Wolfgang Puck’s kitchen

By Wolfgang Puck Exactly 22 years ago, I was invited to create the food for the premiere party of a blockbuster summer film unlike anything the movie-going public had ever seen. No, it didn’t feature spaceships flying through the galaxy or dinosaurs run amok. It was just the story of a simple man who lived an extraordinary life - a life he summed up by comparing it to a box of chocolates. Yes, that movie was “Forrest Gump.” And the extraordinary lead performance by Tom Hanks went on to win him his second Oscar, after taking one home the year before for “Philadelphia.” For that event, the studio asked me to make a special seafood dish with South-east Asian influences. I’m not sure what led them to such a request, though I do know that the first Thai restaurants had begun opening in Los Angeles only two decades before, and they were still con-sidered something new and hip. Whatev-er the reason, I decided to come up with a Thai-style preparation for mussels, a dish full of exciting flavors that my chefs and I could prepare quickly and easily so we could send out fresh batch after batch to the large gathering. Considering how exotic Thai seasonings seem to most people, even today, though the cuisine is certainly almost as familiar now as Chinese, you might have stopped and wondered when I described that dish as being quick and easy. It really is. The real barrier people have to preparing Thai Curried Mussels, the recipe I made for the premiere and share here, is not that it requires any special equipment or tech-niques; it’s simply that the ingredients aren’t commonly found in the pantries of most home kitchens in America. That doesn’t have to be the case any-more. In almost any good-sized city, and many small towns as well, you can now find ethnic Southeast Asian markets. Many well-stocked supermarkets every-where also carry a surprising number of ingredients from the Thai kitchen, including those I call for in this recipe, including bright, zesty-tasting kaffir lime leaves and fresh lemongrass, spicy Thai chiles and Thai curry powder. And you can also find and purchase them online. Add fresh mussels that you buy the same day you’ll cook them, and keep them fresh and cold in your refrigerator. Scrub thoroughly under cold running water, pull off the “beards” at their hinges, and you’re ready to have this dish ready to serve (as an appetizer for four people or a main dish for two) in well under half an hour of cooking time. And who knows? Your new dish may win you a special award from your family and friends!

THAI CURRIED MUSSELS Serves 2 to 4

8 scallions, root ends trimmed, 4 left whole, 4 finely chopped1/4 cup (60 mL) peanut oil, plus extra for serving1 large kaffir lime leaf, crushed, or 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest1-inch (2.5-m) piece fresh ginger, pref-erably young, finely chopped, about 1 1/2 tablespoons1 stalk fresh lemongrass, bottom 4 inch-es (10 cm) smashed and split lengthwise2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped3 fresh Thai green chiles, or other small hot fresh green or red chiles1 heaping teaspoon Thai red curry powder 1 heaping teaspoon ground turmeric 1/3 cup (85 mL) unseasoned rice vinegar 1/2 cup (125 mL) good-quality canned tomato sauce2 pounds (1 kg) large, fresh mussels, such as green-lipped variety (about 16 large mussels), thoroughly scrubbed and debearded1/2 cup (125 mL) water, plus more as needed2 to 3 teaspoons granulated sugar About 2 1/4 cups (560 mL) steamed rice4 small sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish Fill a large bowl with water and ice. Cut off the tops of 4 of the scallions to get pieces about 5 inches long. Cut through the green tops lengthwise 2 or 3 times to form strips attached to the base. Place in the ice water and refrigerate. Heat the oil in a large wide pan over high heat. Add the chopped scallion, kaffir lime leaf (or lime zest), ginger, lemongrass, garlic and chiles. Saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the curry powder and turmeric; stir to combine. Immediately stir in the vinegar to deglaze the pan. Add the tomato sauce, and stir well to combine it with the other ingredients. Add the mussels and stir well to combine them with the sauce. Stir in the water to bring the sauce to a consistency that coats the mussels even-ly. Sprinkle in the sugar, cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cook 8 to 10 minutes until all the mussels have opened, adding more water as necessary to keep them steaming. Discard any unopened mussels. Pull open the shells a bit more and arrange the cooked mussels on a plat-ter or in a large, shallow bowl. Spoon some sauce over them. Garnish with the drained scallion brushes. Drizzle with peanut oil. Serve with steamed rice, top with the remaining sauce and garnish with cilantro.
