“Think Big To Follow Your Dreams” Major General Leads Elementary Assembly
–Photos courtesy Manchester Township Schools Major General Frederick Martin, Commander, US Air Force Expeditionary Center, Joint Base, visited Manchester Elementary School in a special assembly presentation for the students. MANCHESTER – Major General Frederick Martin, Commander, US Air Force Expeditionary Center, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst visited Manchester Township Elementary School on February 25. He spoke to students about the his career in the Air Force and about operations at the Joint Base, as well as the importance of reading, using their brains, and thinking big to follow their dreams. Maj. Gen. Martin began his visit by speaking to students in a school-wide assembly program. The students seemed awed when
he pointed to a mural of space and told them that he believes someday one of them will travel there. He also noticed the many Jump Rope for Heart banners hanging in the gym and told the students to always “jump high and pursue your dreams.” He praised and thanked the MTES Color Guard and the MTHS NJROTC Color Guard, who presented the colors at the start of the assembly. He led the students in chanting “Ooh-rah!” and “Semper Fi!” to honor ROTC instructor, Marine Sgt. Hinger. (Dreams - See Page 7)
Active School Shooter Safety Training At Manchester
By Jennifer Peacock ALICE will be in school soon. The Manchester Township School District will soon implement a safety training program aimed at giving staff and students tools to combat, and survive, an active school shooter. ALICE—Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate— is a method that guides both
schools and law enforcement to stop an active shooter while preventing the loss of life. Manchester Schools’ Superintendent David Trethaway, along with Director of Student & Administrative Services Alex George and Manchester Police
Lt. James Sharkey, talked about the training with parents March 8. The Manchester Times spoke with Trethaway before that presentation. “The program was introduced to me by the former Chief of Police at Manchester, Brian Klimak-
owski. Before I made the recommendation to implement the program I felt it was important to go through the actual ALICE training,” Trethaway said. He went through that training with George and two police officers, one being a School Resource Officer. “The training really opened my (Training - See Page 4)

Ordinance Requires Supervision Of Minors
Details Crowds In Public Places
By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – A change to a local ordinance spells out how large a group of children in a public place can be, with the required adult supervision. An adult is still required to supervise minors at all times. However, the change would now require that there be at least one adult for every six children in a group. The changed language amends the township’s recreation code, specifically 288-11, “Group use, meetings, and exhibitions.” Anyone with a group of six or more children all under the age of 12 must have one adult, (anyone over the age of 18,) chaperone per six children younger than 12. “It’s on our property, it falls on us if something happens,” Manchester Township Clerk Sabina Skibo said. “We’re covering ourselves on the liability point of view… there’s not a magic number. We tried to be (Ordinance - See Page 7)

eyes to the importance of providing options for our staff and students in the event of a dangerous incident at the school,” he said. “In light of all the events that have occurred, there is no more important responsibility than to keep our staff and students safe and prepared.” The training isn’t a one-size-fits-all protocol, but rather emphasizes that schools facing an active shooter use what means from their training necessary to keep students, staff, law enforcement and others safe while also, if possible, immobilizing an active shooter. It is stressed that students be trained in age-appropriate ways. The ALICE Training Institute offers materials that educators can use in the classroom. The institute also stresses drills where staff and students can put their knowledge into practice. While Trethaway did take part in the 16 hours of training, the district’s staff has only been given an overview at this point. Trethaway said the staff will “receive more information shortly.” “We will be conducting drills at each school while working with the Manchester Police Department, and we will review the drills to make the modifications as needed,” Trethaway said. If an active shooter is suspected or confirmed, an “alert” will be sent out however possible, not just to those in the immediate danger zone but to all schools and police. Classrooms, offices, etc. then will go on
“lockdown,” as they would with current protocol. Using whatever technology available, be that cell phones, computer, etc., staff and students will “inform” police of any new information they can: where the shooter is, his description, location. Students and staff will “counter” the shooter by means of barricades, distractions. Anyone who is able to safely leave will “evacuate” the premises as quickly and quietly as possible. This training is one more step for safety in a post-Columbine world. The district has constructed interior vestibules and installed additional security cameras, among other measures. “Security measures are important but this program emphasizes the training and preparedness of the staff and students which may be the most important factor in a crisis,” Trethaway said. “I want to emphasize that we are and will continue to work closely with the Manchester Township Police Department as we implement this program and any other items that we consider for the safety of our staff and students.” The ALICE Training Institute was founded by Greg Crane, a law enforcement officer, and his wife Lisa, a building principal. According to the institute’s website, alicetraining.com, more than 2,800 nationwide have implemented ALICE. The Manchester Times reached out to George and Sharkey for comment, but neither responded by presstime. The potential cost of implementing the training was not available.

reasonable about it.” Groups of 20 or more people must still obtain a permit from the recreation department at least seven days before the proposed “date of use” and must stay within a designated area. The permit is needed in locations that require a beach badge. Each person in that group must have a valid beach badge between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Anyone found violating the code can face a fine, Skibo said. The township adjusted adult non-resident seasonal badges from $25 to $20 this year as well. The other group rules remain the same. Spontaneous concerts or other entertainment is not allowed; a written approval by the mayor 14 days prior is still needed. PA systems or other amplification also require written approval seven days prior.

Afterward the General spoke to smaller groups of students in the media center. He used several props to start his talk, including a giant pencil to urge students to “think big,” a soda can to remind them to have a “can-do” attitude, and a club from his time in Africa to remind students that your best weapon is to “use your brain.” He also told them that “readers are leaders, and leaders are readers.” He spoke a bit about his career in the Air Force, introducing his wife, who he met at the Air Force Academy in Colorado. Both he and his wife were Air Force pilots. When a student asked what inspired him to join the Air Force, he replied that he wanted to serve his country and be a part of something bigger than himself, a team. Another student asked how he

All non-Township organizations must also fill out a “hold harmless” agreement which is provided by the Township. Any traffic control or security that the police chief deems necessary must be paid for the by the group. With the exception of adult non-resident seasonal badges, the prices of daily and seasonal badges remain the same for this coming summer season. Residential seasonal beach badges are $10 for adults and free for children age 12 and younger. Residents will pay $5 per adult for a daily beach badge. Again, children 12 and younger are free. Non-resident children ages 12 and younger will pay $10 for a seasonal badge or $5 for a daily badge. Adult non-residents will pay $10 for a daily badge. The second reading and final changes to the code will be made 6 p.m. March 14 at the Council regular meeting.
earned his ribbons and he explained some of the many ribbons pinned to his uniform jacket. He told the students about the aircraft used at the nearby Joint Base, showing some photos in a book. He explained that there are planes that function as gas stations, moving vans, and even hospitals. He told them about an upcoming Air Show (May 14-15) at the base and said he hoped they would attend to get an up close look at some of the planes and see the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. Many teachers remarked about his ability to connect with and inspire the students during his talks. “It was truly and honor to have Major General Martin visit MTES and we thank him and his staff for taking the time to arrange this wonderful visit,” said MTES Principal Linda Waldron. “Our students will certainly remember today as a highlight of their time at MTES.”

My wife and I just visited the WWII Veterans Memorial Park in Whiting and I must say that who ever designed this memorial did an outstanding job in honoring those that served in WWII. I don’t how visitors noticed, but we did, there isn’t any memorial honoring the women who served in WWII. Over the years I have met a number of women who have served, and like the men, they had buddies that were killed and injured. Women played important roles during WWII, both at home and in uniform. Women worked in defense plants and volunteered for war related organizations. Nearly 350,000 women served in uniform. General Eisenhower felt he could not win the war without the aid of the women in uniform. Women served and died, some were captured and were POWs. More than 1,600 nurses were decorated for bravery. In the Pacific Theater, 565 WACs won combat decorations. We need to recognize the contribution that women played in WWII victory. We need a memorial at the park honoring all those women that served in WWII. Jerry Dolan Whiting

Sometimes trying to reason with a liberal is like talking to a deer staring into
headlights. They just don’t comprehend danger. But, let’s try. The economic crisis was not caused by greedy billionaires or Wall Street. It began with the government program in the Carter Administration and was super-charged in the Clinton Administration. President Carter admirably promoted the HUD program building homes for those who could not afford them. What he failed to realize was that many of the recipients of those homes would not be able to afford the homes’ maintenance and upkeep. Much of the tax money ended up being wasted as many homes fell into disrepair. Continuing with promoting the “American Dream” of home ownership, President Clinton, in 1999, repealed a 1933 law that kept risky loans from being coupled with those considered sound. He then pressured banks to relax their lending requirements so that those who had been considered unqualified could be approved for loans on homes the banks knew they could not afford to pay back. Clinton threatened the banks to make the loans or suffer government retaliation in the form of penalties. The banks complied. In order to save themselves from sure destruction, the banks coupled loans they previously would not have approved with those that were more secure, and sold these as investment packages all over the world. Eventually,

as the banks predicted, the bad loans went unpaid causing a worldwide crisis. President Bush foresaw the problem and tried to modify the gover nment program several times, but was stymied by a Democrat Congress. So, when you hear that mind-numbing phrase “It’s Bush’s fault,” know that it is not; just as it is not the fault of greedy billionaires or Wall Street. The crisis was caused by short-sighted politicians that ignored the advice of professionals and thought themselves to be economic or military geniuses. Vote wisely. Joseph Semiraro Bayville
Thanks, Obama The letter “What Is The President’s Legacy?” printed February 20, 2016 could not have been more wrong. The letter faults President Barack Obama with the divisiveness in Washington. It was Senator Mitch McConnell who stated at the beginning of President Barack Obama’s term that he was going to make him a one term president. The current Republican Party is well documented with removing any member who is willing to compromise on legislation. The presumed successor to John Boehner, Eric Cantor, was probably the biggest example of that viewpoint. President Barack Obama came into office when the country was in chaos. The country was in the Great Recession, involved in two wars, millions of Americans had no healthcare and others were denied healthcare due to preexisting conditions. The debt was at ten trillion dollars from a surplus eight years prior, and it was on a projection to continue into the future. Medicare was projected to be running a deficit by 2016. If President Barack Obama violated the Constitution as the writer states, all anyone has to do is sue to the Su-
preme Court if necessary. This is just idle talk with no basis in fact. Our economy is so much stronger than most countries in the world, if not all, since President Barack Obama took office, and it is reflected in the strength of the U.S. Dollar against other currencies today. President Barack Obama has t u r ned these problems around and has made “America Great Again.” Janet Buonagura Brick
Origin Of Morals This is in response to the February 13 letter regarding the origin of moral values. The writer alleges that morality is based upon human experience, and not from a belief in God and the Bible. However, he is correct that moral values “blossomed in the human heart…before the advent of Christ.” But the question arises, where did they originally “blossom” from? Why do we value the virtues of morality? Because they are part of God’s character. If someone doesn’t believe in God, why do they believe i n hu ma n rights? If you just feel that there should be human rights, then where do these non-physical feelings come from? Even evolutionists are at a loss to explain where the conscience and moral values came from. You can deny God all you want, but your conscience is always bearing witness, and there is no escape from what is real—the God who is real. Denial offers only a brief postponement of the inevitable. With our God-given morality, we judge (and punish) those who do not abide by the virtues of our Creator, as God will do as well to those who rebel against His rules. Opinions and belief don’t change reality, or make people “less moral”—they just make them accountable. Charles Henke Brick

McGuckin: “Expand Jurisdiction For Prosecuting Sex Crimes Against Children”
NEW JERSEY – The General Assembly approved legislation (A-1418) sponsored by Assemblyman Greg McGuckin (R-10) to prosecute chaperones who sexually assault minors in their care, even when the crimes are committed outside of New Jersey.
“A person who takes on a supervisory role on a class trip should be legally responsible for any misconduct that may take place despite the location of the criminal acts,” said Assemblyman McGuckin. “Parents trust chaperones to do what is in the best interest
of their child while abroad and these teachers should be held accountable for taking advantage of the situation.” The measure is in response to a state Supreme Court ruling that the state did not have jurisdiction to prosecute a teacher and school administrator for multiple acts
of sexual misconduct with three 17-year-old female students on a school-sponsored trip to Germany in 2011. The two were indicted in Bergen County. “It is disturbing to think that the person responsible for caring for your child on a class trip would harm
them in any way. It’s even more disturbing to think that these chaperones could evade prosecution and ultimately justice. This bill intends to make prosecution possible in New Jersey to hold sexual predators accountable for their crimes,” said McGuckin.
Assemblyman Gregory McGuckin The bill amends state statute granting state jurisdiction for sexual assault crimes committed outside of New Jersey when an individual has supervisory power over a minor.
From The Desk Of Congressman Chris Smith: Smith Introduces The Gold Star Families Voices Act
Congressman Chris Smith NEW JERSEY – U.S. Rep. Ch r is Smith ( NJ04) introduced legislation to expand the Library of Congress’ Veterans History Project (VHP) and allow for the collection of information on the lives of the men and women in our nation’s military who are missing in action or have died as a result of their service. “The Veterans History Project is designed to turn memories into history, to
memorialize the lives of the heroes whose selfless sacrifice has contributed – and continues to contribute – to our collective understanding of who we are as a nation,” said Smith, who served as chairman of the House Veteran’s Affairs Committee and authored more than a dozen laws to expand the benefits and services provided to our nation’s veterans. “Yet one voice is missing from the archives: the service members who made the ultimate sacrifice – they gave their lives for our freedom.” In 2000, Congress created the Veterans History Project (VHP) at the Library of Cong ress to collect and catalog the stories of
American war veterans. The purpose of the project (which was established by Public Law 106-380) is: “to preserve the memories of this nation’s war veterans so that Americans of all current and future generations may hear directly from veterans and better appreciate the realities of war and the sacrifices made by those who served in unifor m during wartime.” To date, the VHP has collected the records of over 99,000 veterans who have served in military engagements since World War I. The project now requires first hand narratives only, blocking the collection of information of veterans who did not return from
the battlefields. The Gold Star Families Voices Act will allow the parents, spouses, siblings and children of fallen heroes to participate in the VHP and tell the stories of their loved ones – ensuring we record and remember the lives and sacrifices of all who have served. Smith’s legislation is endorsed by A mer ica n Gold Star Mothers, Inc. whose Legislative Chairm a n Be ck y C h r ist m a s stated: “Rep. Smith’s legislation gives our children a voice that they no longer have. The Gold Star
Families Voices Act will ensure that the experiences and lives of all veterans, including our sons and daughters who fought and died for our country, are remembered, honored and preserved.” Judith Tapper, president of the New Jersey Gold Star Mothers and proud mother of PO1 (SEA L) David M. Tapper (KIA Afghanistan 8/20/03) stated: “The Gold Star Families Voices Act will certainly ensure the Gold Star Families of New Jersey that the statement we all hear ‘they will never be forgot-
ten,’ will be solidified in the Library of Congress archives for generations to come and this act is worthy of our fallen loved ones stories to be told.” “The Gold Star Mothers are an inspiration; having lost their children in service to our nation, they continue to work for policies that better meet the needs of veterans. They have t ur ned their grief into advocacy: working for veterans, for military families, and especially, for the memories of their ch i ld r e n ,” Sm it h c o n cluded.

Campaign Provides Free Tree Seedlings To Residents
MANCHESTER – Free tree seedlings will be available to Manchester Township residents in the month of April as part of the New Jersey Tree Recovery Campaign. This program helps communities replace trees damaged or destroyed by Superstorm Sandy. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 15 and April 16, residents will be able to pick up tree seedlings at Town Hall, located at 1 Colonial Drive.

Residents should plant the seedlings within two days after pick-up in order to prevent the roots from drying out. The goal of the Tree Recovery Campaign is to distribute over 500,000 tree seedlings to

OCEAN COUNTY – New Jersey Theatre Alliance’s “Stages Festival” will celebrate its 19th year of bringing professional, Broadway-quality programs to Ocean County Library and presents them to the public, free of charge.

The Alliance will present several programs by four New Jersey theater companies at 14 Ocean County Library branches during March. They can also enjoy “Alice in Wonderland,” presented by the Pushcart Players, one of the world’s best-known children’s story. Adapted from Lewis Carroll’s classic books and filled with madcap characters and pure nonsense, this intriguing tale about a curious and proactive young girl has enchanted readers for many generations. This will be performed at: Brick, 301 Chambers Bridge Rd., 732-477-4513, at 6:30 p.m. on March 21; Stafford, 129 N. Main St., Manahawkin, at 2 p.m. on March 26 and Pt.

Lacey Rd., Forked River, 609-693-8566, at 11 a.m. on March 19. The Centenary Stage Company will present “Miss Nelson is Missing,” for children in grades K through fourth. This story is about a teacher,
who can’t control her class because she is too nice, disappearing and Viola Swamp steps in as her substitute. With the big test looming, the kids suddenly realize how much they miss Miss Nelson and they’ll do anything to get her back. The play will be presented at: Little Egg Harbor, 290 Mathistown Rd., 609-294-1197, at 6 p.m. on March 15 and Barnegat, 112 Burr St., 609-698-3331, at 2 p.m. on March 29.

ELTC recreates “Sherlock Holmes Adventures of the Red Headed League” and “Nick Carter and the Voice of Crime” in the style of a 1930s radio broadcast, complete with sound effects and commercials. This will play at 6:30 p.m. on March 21 at the Long Beach Island branch, 217. S. Central Ave., Surf City, 609-494-2480.

Is Your Yard Jersey Friendly?
OCEAN COUNTY – Did you know that excess fertilizers are polluting our rivers, lakes and bays? The chemicals in fertilizers wash into New Jersey’s waterways from hundreds of thousands of lawns in the state. To have clean drinking water and healthy waterways for fishing and swimming in New Jersey, citizens of New Jersey need to find ways to keep those chemicals from getting into our waterways, including the Barnegat Bay. Learn how you can help at the new site
Jersey-Friendly Yards at jerseyyards.org. Jersey-Friendly Yards was developed by the Barnegat Bay Partnership and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to help educate New Jersey residents about low-impact landscaping techniques. The new site highlights ways that you can minimize fertilizer use at your home, and shows native plants that you can add to your landscaping that require little irrigation, are pest resistant and attract pollinators like butterflies, bees and other beneficial insects.

Gianna’s American Idol Run
By Jennifer Peacock OCEAN COUNTY – A local singing sensation made it to the top 10 of American Idol, seeing a swell of local support and community pride follow her along the journey. Gianna Isabella Petrone made the top ten, but failed to crack the top 8. Jackson’s American Idol Gianna was not saved by votes or judges on the March 3 episode. She and fellow Idol Olivia Rox were sent home, with the judges keeping Avalon Young in the competition. Despite the loss, Gianna had a message for her supporters on her Facebook page, posted just hours after her exit from the show. “So happy to say I made top ten! Although I did not make top eight, that’s okay! I am not sad at all I’m grateful and super ecstatic to have had this chance to be on such a legendary show so much fun singing in front of three amazing judges and singing with Demi Lovato today! What a crazy journey this has been. It takes a ton of No’s until you get that one yes and make all of your dreams come to life. I am only going up from here, no regrets and no looking back. I owe a huge thank you to American Idol within the amount of time I’ve been on the show I can really tell how much I have grown,” Gianna wrote. “Vocally, stage prescience wise, and so many others ways. I learned to always stay optimistic and happy because if you are sad it won’t
change the situation all I have to say is a ton of more music is coming your way.” Her schedule was jam packed the following day with appearances and interviews across Los Angeles. Hours after her Facebook post, she took to social media again, this time with a video, to thank her fans for sending their well wishes, but assuring them she’s okay. “A lot of you have been saying you’re sorry and you’re sad and stuff. Please don’t be sad. There’s nothing to be sad about,” she said. “I just wanted to thank you for always supporting me.” She said it was “insane” that she even made it into the top, especially being only 15 years old. Reports across social media the previous weak pegged her performance as “shaky,” as pointed out by judges Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. While she was warned to stay away from comments on social media sites, Gianna said she does read them and has a message for her haters. “Many people have told me to not read comments, or tweets, etc. because they are not always going to be kind. I read them regardless and I know I shouldn’t say something but recently I’ve seen a lot of people saying ‘She shouldn’t be in the show,’ ‘Kick her off,’ ‘She can’t sing.’ I would just like to say in a very mature kind manner that I work extremely hard at what I do. I love singing and I am human, I will not always have amazing performances but that just

The dream is very much alive, she said. “I am beyond blessed to even be at top ten in this competition but I intend on pushing myself harder and harder each week to make it farther. Your negative comments will make me work harder and the positive one make me love what I do. To those who say I don’t belong in this competition I will prove to you I do belong in this competition and I love what I do. I will show you how
much this dream means to me and how badly I want to make it reality,” she said. Gianna, a student at Jackson Memorial High School, made it clear at her farewell pep rally in February that she plans to stay in L.A. to pursue a music career. This is Idol’s final season. The top 8 contestants the remain are Young, Dalton Rapattoni, La’Porsha Renae, Lee Jean, MacKenzie Bourg, Sonika Vaid, Trent Harmon and Tristan McIntosh.

Fire Safety For Those With Hearing Loss
Personalized Assistance for the Independent Resident
There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearing Americans who cannot rely on traditional sound-oriented smoke detectors and therefore are at a disadvantage. Decreased hearing can limit a person’s ability to take quick action and escape during a fire emergency. Those with hearing loss need to take extra precautions to protect themselves from the hazards of home fire. This includes being aware of the availability of flashing and/ or vibrating smoke alarms and having an effective escape plan in place. Have the proper alerting system: Smoke detectors are not doing their job if you cannot hear them. Consider the following statistics: 20 percent of home fires occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., yet these fires account for more than half of all home fire deaths. Something to keep in mind: most smoke detectors produce a relatively high frequency (3000 kHz) sound. Recent studies have revealed that this frequency is not particularly effective in waking up children, heavy sleepers, those taking sleeping pills or other medication and those who have had too much to drink. In addition, high frequency alarms are almost completely ineffective in alerting people with high frequency hearing loss, accounting for about 90 percent of people with hearing loss and all deaf people. Install a flashing or vibrating smoke alarm on every level of your home. Test all smoke alarms monthly and change

the batteries at least once a year. People with hearing loss are at greater risk from night time fires because their hearing instruments are typically out of their ears when sleeping. Not all alerting devices meet every need but some do come close. The ideal device would not only sound an alarm but also flash a light and vibrate the bed. This would alert the three most important senses simultaneously. There are a great number of smoke detectors designed specifically for those with a hearing impairment. Light-tone HL bedside fire alarm and clock alerts you by sounding a loud low frequency and vibrating the bed. The combination of the low frequency alarm sounding and the bed shaking wakes even heavy sleepers. Silent call makes great alerting systems that work with more than just smoke detectors. Plan your escape: An important tip is not to isolate yourself. Inform family members, the building manager or a neighbor of your fire safety plan and practice it with them. Contact your local fire department on a non-emergency phone number and explain your special needs. They can help with your escape plan, perform a home inspection and offer suggestions about smoke alarm placement. They can also keep your information on file.

Natural Alternatives To Antibiotics By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
Some of you take several antibiotics each and every day, while some of you avoid them like the plague. The pros of a traditional antibiotic is that you can keep your infection from achieving full-blown status, or as some experts suggest, you chase the bugs into biofilms where they can’t be killed but your symptoms go away. Organisms that go into biofilm are going into ‘submission’ for lack of a better word and they’ll do that sometimes in the presence of an antibiotic. Traditional antibiotics can cure pneumonia, or life-threatening infections from the deadly “kissing bug,” or hair ties. Yes, hair ties. Google Audree Kopp, she almost died from sepsis from her hair tie. Point is, drugs are sometimes handy. But I’m not convinced of their safety for longterm or less serious infections. They change who you are. When you take an antibiotic, you destroy your gut flora, which has an impact on your personality. That’s why you need probiotics. Plus probiotics impact your digestion, your mood and ability to fight cancer and infection. A disadvantage of antibiotics is that you become resistant to them quickly. What will you do when they stop working? Think this out with me, penicillin is just penicillin. It’s easy for a germ to outsmart one ingredient. With something like garlic, there are at least 35 known active constituents making it super hard for a bug to get around and become a “superbug.” Capiche? I’m a pharmacist, trust me on this. My antibiotics are simple substances. Pathogenic organisms have been around the Earth for eons, and they are much smarter. They can outsmart the drugs because unlike herbs, pharmaceuticals don’t have hundreds of biologically active constituents. Scientific research is never going to agree with me or other natural healers like the scantily dressed “medicine” man, licensed naturopaths/
chiropractors or even grandmothers so don’t wait for an FDA stamp, but to me it’s almost like “Duh?!” Today’s article is to offer some herbal alternatives in case you need to kill ‘something’ in you without killing yourself. Please discuss all changes to your health regimen with your doctor, since I am not one: Brazilian Propolis – With the help of bees, this popular tree resin packs a punch. It can be taken by mouth, or directly applied to wounds. It may help with colds, flu or sore throats. This is an all-around immunity aid, and a brand new study found that it could help with organisms found in dental biofilms (S. mutans) which contribute to cracked teeth. Cat’s Claw – A strong antimicrobial and antiviral which is often used in Lyme, and sometimes HIV as an adjunctive remedy. Anyone could use it for a general infection. It has some anti-cancer affect, and it reduces TNF alpha (an inflammatory cytokine). Useful for Crohn’s as well. Colloidal Silver – Everyone’s favorite, this may be useful for staph in the nose. Studies have shown that topical colloidal silver solution has effective antibiofilm activity against Staphylococcus aureus, and tons of other organisms. Oregano – It’s a strong anti-fungal and may be useful for Candida, as well as parasites. Some people dilute it with a little coconut oil and apply it to the skin (not on broken skin though), where there is signs of fungal infection. The carvacrol component of wild oregano oil has activity against MRSA and C. difficile. Teasel Root – May inhibit growth of Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme). It can extract bacteria from muscle tissue where antibiotics have a hard time penetrating.

Batman, Superman Coming To FirstEnergy Park
LAKEWOOD – The BlueClaws and West Virginia Power are teaming up to welcome Superman and Batman to FirstEnergy Park on May 15. The two teams will each wear special jerseys - the BlueClaws will wear Superman jerseys and the Power will wear Batman jerseys - during their game that day while the characters will be at the game for an appearance.
The day’s festivities are presented by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey. This game marks the first time the BlueClaws have partnered with the visiting team for dueling theme-jerseys in a game at FirstEnergy Park. The two characters, Superman and Batman, will be available on the concourse for pictures with fans beginning at 1:05 p.m., just after the
game’s first pitch. In addition, the BlueClaws will have 1,000 superhero capes for fans ages 18 and under. There will be 500 Batman-style capes and 500 Superman-style capes. Fans can “vote” by picking their favorite cape as they enter the ballpark. Beginning at 11:30 a.m. that morning, Batman and Superman will be upstairs for
a VIP meet-and-greet with BlueClaws fans. The special VIP event will take place in the BlueClaws Executive Conference Center and include: ticket to the game, picture (which will be printed for you) with both characters (one photo per child), guaranteed cape giveaway (choice of Superman or Batman cape), highfive tunnel on the field with characters before the game, activities and light refreshments in the pre-game meet-and-greet and early entrance to the ballpark. Space is extremely limited. Tickets for the VIP Meet-and-Greet must be reserved in advance by visiting blueclaws.com. The tickets are $20 per person. The teams will renew their rivalry - wearing the Superman and Batman jerseys - later in the season in West Virginia. The BlueClaws are the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment. They have led the South Atlantic League and New Jersey in attendance in all 15 years of existence. Ticket packages and group outings are currently on sale by calling 732-901-7000 option 3 or online at BlueClaws.com.
Library To Examine Human Trafficking
OCEAN COUNTY – Human trafficking generates $35 billion annually worldwide and ranks as the second largest criminal activity, tied with arms dealing, according to the agency Prevent Child Abuse New Jersey.

Choosing The Right Automobile Insurance Will Protect Your Family And Assets By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Michael J. Deem, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates In 1998, the State of New Jersey adopted the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act to reduce the cost of automobile insurance by reducing the benefits available to persons who are injured in automobile accidents. This means less coverage to pay for medical treatment and less rights to recover monetary damages from careless drivers who injure your family. Protect yourself. Automobile insurance is mandatory in New Jersey. The failure to carry automobile insurance may be punishable by imprisonment. When purchasing automobile insurance, you have two choices: you are required to select either a Basic Policy or a Standard Policy. We do not recommend choosing the Basic Policy. The Basic Policy only provides minimal coverage and leaves you unprotected in several areas. A Basic Policy only provides you with $5,000 of property damage liability coverage if someone makes a claim against you, and only provides $15,000 of medical expense benefits should you require medical treatment for your injuries. The Basic Policy does not cover you if you injure someone else. The Basic Policy does not provide Uninsured Motorist coverage to protect you and your family if the careless driver who causes the accident is uninsured or is insured under a Basic Policy. Perhaps most importantly, the Basic Policy will not provide you with a free lawyer to defend any claim against your personal assets. We recommend that you purchase a Standard Policy. A Standard Policy provides the best insurance coverage to protect your assets if you are sued and to provide
compensation to you and your family if you are injured. The Standard Policy does provide medical expense benefits (PIP) coverage which includes medical expenses up to $250,000 per person per accident. The Standard Policy also provides you with Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM Benefits), so if you are injured by someone who does not have automobile insurance, is insured under a Basic Policy or leaves the scene of the accident then you and your family are covered for your losses. When you purchase the Standard Policy you must elect a “tort option” that will determine your right to make a claim. You must select either the “limitation on lawsuit option” or the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” If you purchase the Basic Policy then you are assigned the “limitation on lawsuit option.” We recommend that you choose the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” Ask your insurance representative what is the actual dollar amount that your overall premium will increase if you elect the “no limitation on lawsuit option.” By choosing the “limitation on lawsuit option” you are limiting you legal right to make a claim for monetary damages unless you sustain one of the following injuries: death, dismemberment; significant scarring or disfigurement; displaced fractures; loss of fetus or a permanent injury that can been diagnosed by credible, objective medical testing. Selecting the correct insurance coverage is extremely important when it comes to protecting your family and personal assets. Call the Attorneys at R.C. Shea & Associates (732-505-1212) for a free evaluation of your automobile insurance policy.

TOMS RIVER – Learn Arabic, visit North Africa/Middle East and earn seven college credits. This summer Ocean County College, with support from a U.S. Department of Education Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language Program grant, will offer Study Abroad in Morocco from July 12 to August 2. This program is open to the community. The registration deadline is April 10. Space is limited. Registration is on a first-come/first-served basis. Participants must be at least 18 years of age and out of high school. This exciting program starts with a weeklong online orientation and introduction to the language and culture of North Africa/ Middle East. Then participants will fly to Rabat, Morocco for an immersion program in language, culture and history with three weeks of living and learning. Upon their return, participants will engage in a weeklong online conclusion to the course, which will be a time to reflect and share what they gained from the experience. While in Morocco, participants will: Live with a host family – Moroccans are noted for their exceptional warmth and hospitality. Living and eating with a host family will allow participants to experience the culture of North Africa from the inside. Engage in language instruction – From beginner to intermediate, this travel seminar will provide a head-start in learning Arabic or improve established skills. Participate in field trips – Visit local cultural institutions, art exhibits, musical performances, historical sites and nearby cities, including Casablanca and Fez. Relax on beautiful beaches, dine at excellent restaurants and take in the night life. The abroad part of the program is arranged by AMIDEAST (America-Mideast Educational and Training Services, Inc.), the leading U.S. organization for education and research in the Middle East with over 50 years of experience in arranging study-
abroad opportunities for U.S. students. Students and community members are welcome to attend. Ocean County College faculty and administrators will participate as advisors and facilitators to ensure each participant’s experience is exciting and beneficial. Morocco is located in the western-most part of North Africa, its coast line lies on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The country is a land of rugged mountains and deserts in the interior, with excellent beaches on both the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. Students will stay in Rabat, the capital of Morocco, located on the western, Atlantic coast. Students will be enrolled in “Summer 2016 Semester SS5 – HUMN 251” and “Study Abroad to Morocco – DL1” for seven-credits. Students from other colleges and universities, planning to transfer these credits, must receive prior approval from their home school. The cost for the trips for those who are in-county is $1,483.50 and out-of-county is $1,665.50. This is the current estimated cost; the final cost pending exchange rate and fuel flight surcharges.

There’s Nothing Fishy About Omega-3s And Heart Health
NEW JERSEY – One of the best ways to protect your heart is to maintain a healthy diet, according to the Barnabas Health Heart Centers at Community and Monmouth Medical Centers and Monmouth Medical Center, Southern Campus. While fruits, vegetables and whole grains should be at the top of your list, be sure to add fish to your diet, too. Fish is high in omega-3 fatty acids – a polyunsaturated fat that helps fight off heart-related diseases, including heart disease, heart attack, arrhythmias and stroke. Unlike meat, fish is not high in saturated fat and is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. The American Heart Association recommends eating 3.5 ounces of fish at least two times a week. Fish with the highest omega-3 content includes: salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines and albacore tuna. Fatty fish contain two types of omega-3s, EPA and DHA, which directly benefit the heart by improving cell function and regulating cardiovascular function. It also reduces inflammation, which is the cause of many chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease. Depending on a person’s stage of life, some types of fish, such as swordfish, king mackerel, shark and tilefish, should be avoided because they contain high levels of mercury. If you want to up your intake of fish, but lower your chances of ingesting
mercury, the best options are canned light tuna, salmon and catfish. Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fat – a dietary fat that builds brain cells and lowers your bad cholesterol. These types of fat are important because they keep your heart healthy in many different ways, including: reducing triglycerides, reducing the risk of arrhythmias, slowing plaque buildup in your arteries and slightly lowering your blood pressure. All of the benefits from omega-3s help lower the risk of heart-related diseases such as stroke and heart disease. If you don’t enjoy fish, there are plantbased sources of omega-3s, including ground flaxseeds and flaxseed oil, walnuts, chia seeds, canola oil, soy oil, soybeans and tofu. Different from fish, these plant-based products contain ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) omega-3s, which still benefit your heart, but not as directly as the omega-3s in fatty fish. Even though food is the preferable way to consume omega-3 fatty acids, there are capsules and supplements. These are suggested for people who have heart disease or high triglyceride levels, making it difficult to ingest enough of the fatty acid. Talk to your health care provider to determine if supplements are right for you. For a referral to a Barnabas Health cardiac specialist, call 888-724-7123.

Dear Joel, I have a son who has learning and behavior issues. It has been suggested to me that he attend a therapeutic school. I have been doing my research and am terrified by the price per year. There is no way that I can afford even a year of that education. Additionally what I am finding out is that many of these schools are located on the West Coast. Any suggestions? Answer: Every child in New Jersey is entitled to an education. There are therapeutic schools throughout the entire country. Some of the schools can cost $100,000 including room and board.Virtually no one can afford those high dollar amounts. You must start with the guidance counselor at school. Ask if the principal can be present at the meeting as well.
Do not be surprised if you are met with resistance. The school districts do not like to shell out any extra monies for any student. You may have to meet with the school board in your district. Depending upon where you live, it can be just a battle to a full blown war. If it gets to be very difficult, there are attorneys who specialize in getting students extra funding for their special needs. If you need further help please do not hesitate to write me.

The Manchester Times, March 12, 2016, Page 31 For the week of March 12- March 18
Omarr’s Astrological Forecast By Jeraldine Saunders ARIES (March 21-April 19): Cooperation is the operative word. Give in with good grace as this week unfolds. The ball is in the other person’s court at work. You must let the other person take the lead if you take a turn on the dance floor of love. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Negotiations stride forward with giant steps. If you are a real team player and make fairness a priority you can strike a deal that pleases all the people all the time. You may be inspired to adopt new goals this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Steer clear of power struggles in the early part of the week. Those in charge could be in the mood to throw some weight around and you don’t want to be in the way when it lands. Avoid starting new projects. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Learn to be wise. Read and study. Your week will unwind flawlessly if you put your trust in others and refuse to bow to outside pressures. Pay close attention to human moods and business will take care of itself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Fill up your bank account the old fashioned way. Your wisdom about financial matters will keep you from falling into bad habits. In the week ahead a partner will prove to be entirely trustworthy and dispel your doubts. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have a decided advantage in the week ahead. Although a financial matter could cause concern, you will find creative solutions at your fingertips. Your ability to compromise will put you at the head of the pack. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Industry and initiative can pay off. Cash might not grow on trees but that doesn’t mean you can’t pick some up that
Guinness Pub Draft Can 8 Pack 14.9 oz
is right under your feet. Avoid confrontations early in the week when touchy feelings may be in play. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Investigate before you invest. Finances can end up on a roller coaster ride if you dip into the piggy bank early in the week. Be big hearted and overlook disapproval from partners as a turnaround is just around the corner. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the week ahead you may be bombarded by conflicting viewpoints. Wait until the dust settles to make a major decision. Just because one responsibility is erased doesn’t mean you should immediately take on another one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Just because you have the advantage of a better education or financial resources doesn’t mean you should take advantage of others. Tap into inner wisdom to protect you from making poor business decisions this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Minor moodiness may mar the beginning of the week. Be on your best behavior and don’t step on other people’s toes just to have your way. Passing squabbles subside quickly but could block your attempts at financial gain. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Focus on love and affection rather than money in the week ahead. Your business judgment could be off kilter, but people will trust your ideas anyway. Do yourself a favor and don’t offer financial advice to any friends. (c) 2016 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

Top Secret! You Won’t Believe How Easy It Is To Make This Restaurant Favorite By Wolfgang Puck
CUT RESTAURANT BUTTER LETTUCE AND BLUE CHEESE SALAD Serves 4 HONEY-DIJON VINAIGRETTE: 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar 2 to 4 teaspoons honey 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper SALAD: 1 1/2 to 2 heads butter lettuce, separated, rinsed well and dried, 20 to 24 leaves total 1 ripe Hass-style avocado 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled Fresh dill, separated into small sprigs Fresh chervil, separated into small sprigs Fresh tar ragon, separated into individual leaves Fresh chives, cut into 1- to 2-inch (2.5- to 5-cm) pieces Organic celer y, small leaves only, stalks reserved for another use 20 cherry tomatoes, cut in half First, make the Honey-Dijon Vinaigrette. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chopped tarragon, vinegar, honey and mustard. Sea-
son to taste with salt and pepper. While whisking continuously, drizzle in the oil, continuing until a thick and creamy emulsion forms. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. Separate the butter lettuce leaves. Rinse them well under cold running water, and then pat them thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Select 20 to 24 leaves total, reser ving the rest for another use. With a sharp, sturdy knife, cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Grasp the avocado between your hands and twist the halves in opposite directions to separate them. To remove the pit, use a tablespoon to scoop it out. With a large spoon, scoop out the f lesh whole from the skin of each half. Cut the f lesh of each half lengthwise in half again, then crosswise into thin slices. Put a one of the largest lettuce leaves on each serving plate, facing upward like a cup. Drizzle with a little vinaigrette. Add a few blue cheese crumbles, herbs and celery leaves. Top with another lettuce leaf, more dressing, some tomato slices and avocado pieces. Continue layering like this, balancing the leaves so the stack stays upright, until all ingredients have been used, reserving a few crumbles of cheese, tomato and avocado pieces, and fresh herbs to garnish each plate. Serve the salads immediately.
