“Shop Manchester” Program To Launch

–Photos by Jennifer Peacock The Shop Manchester program will come to fruition soon, although several special presentations by the mayor and representatives who’ll administer the program took place last year. Brick and Marlboro have their own programs in place. By Jennifer Peacock Shop Manchester is a reality. The Manchester Township Council finalized its agreement with Fincredit Inc., Marlboro, the company that operates PropertyTaxCard.com. Resi-

dents will soon be able to earn dollars toward their property tax bill by shopping at participating Manchester businesses. Business Administrator Donna Markulic said the township purchasing department is recon-

necting with businesses—about 19 so far—that showed interest in joining the program. They continue to seek donations to purchase the Shop Manchester cards to provide to residents. An official start date for the

program will be announced shortly, Markulic said. It’s been one year since Finn Credit CEO Carmine de Falco presented the tax rebate program to Council. The program, (Launch - See Page 7)

Sculptor Attempts World’s Tallest Sand Castle

By Jennifer Peacock What’s 60 feet tall and can help build a house? A sand castle. At least that’s what world-renowned sculptor Ed Jarrett and Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity hope (NOHFH). Jarrett and representatives from NOHFH joined with Laurita Winery’s Ray Shea and Randy Johnson to break ground on the “world’s tallest sand castle” at Laurita West (Laurita Inn) April 20. The money raised will go to build a single mom and her two children a home on a donated lot in Toms River. The project has been dubbed “Hands v. Machines.” Although Guinness World Records has opened up the category to both hand and machine sculpting, Jarrett plans to build his newest creation using all the hands he can get. He is a four-time world record holder (Castle - See Page 4)

Dozens Sign Up For New No-Knock Registry

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – Less than a month after the registry went live, 75 households have signed up for Manchester’s no-knock registry. The township council adopted its establishment back in March. “The ordinance is pretty tight. It still allows for charitable and political contact,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer said back in March. “The town needs it because people, when they go home, want to be able to relax and not have constant people at their door. It really helps for the public good.” Unlike surrounding towns trying to curb unwante d r e a l e st at e solicit at ions, Manchester, and its neighbor Lakehurst Borough, created the no-knock registry to aid in keeping door-to-door salesman away. Lakehurst Clerk Bernadette Dugan told The Manchester Times back in March that more than 70 households had signed up for their registry, which was adopted late last year. Jackson Councilman Barry Calogero spoke about Manchester’s no-knock registry at that Council’s April 12 meeting. “I want to recognize our neighboring township, Manchester, for passing a similar no-knock ordinance that we did last summer,” Calogero said. “It’s very encouraging to see unity in the neighboring townships when it comes to protecting the safety and sanctity of our residents.” In Manchester, residents can download and print an application or pick one up from the clerk’s office at the Manchester Municipal Building. The one-page application asks for the physical house address and information, as well as the owner’s information if that differs from the house address. Residents can drop off the application at the clerk’s (No-Knock - See Page 7)

Lakehurst Beauty, Fashion And Prom Expo

LAKEHURST – Various vendors helped families and teens prepare for the glamor and glitz of prom with the Lakehurst Beauty, Fashion and Prom Expo held on April 8 at La Bove Grande. Weeks prior, Rose Kaiser of Dimensional Designs and Heather Cramer of Colonial Bouquet worked to organize an event the local teen community could enjoy with a fun, fashionable event that

would showcase theirs, and other local businesses. An estimated 60 kids came out to audition for the expo and 25 were chosen to help model. Participating businesses included Steven from ChazMaTaz Tuxedos, Craig and Dillon from Lakehurst Barber Shop, Sharon from Sharon-dipity, Karen from Sales Unlimited, Kat from NYC Glitz, The Veltri’s from Veltri Photography, Jay from

First Class Limousine, Ron from Legandary Exoctics, DJ services by Timberland Lake Campground, and Gerry from La Bove Grande. Also present was Kandid Photo Boothe, Origami Owl, Younique and Touchstone Crystal Jewelry. All the vendors offered giveaway raffles and special deals during the evening. Organizers said the event created a packed house of 200 people, smiling

Castle:

Though the tent covering the building site at Laurita West is 60 feet tall, the height to beat is 45 ft 10.25 inches, the record reached last October in Miami, Fla. NOHFH builds one home per year and performs repairs for low income families as well. The biggest challenge, dDirector Suzan Fichtner said, is getting the funding for the projects. They hope to raise more than $100,000 for this new home. “We’ve recognized that our success comes from partnerships, collaboration, businesses, people that have a heart for their neighbors. It’s easy to just walk with blinders on and be consumed in your own life, but if you stop and really take the time to look around and listen, you’re going to hear that there’s so many people that really need our help,” Fichtner said. “It’s our responsibility as people in our communities to just recognize that housing changes peoples’ lives significantly.” The group works with schools, religious organizations and businesses for volunteers and donations. For this home the group is

building this year, Toms River Township donated the land. “This is bigger than any of us here,” she continued. “I can honestly tell you that the mother and her two children that will be living in this home from this fundraiser, her life will be forever changed.” The mother works two jobs and goes to school. For Shea, he’s delighted that a talented artist like Jarrett has not only teamed up with NOHFH, but is using his creative talents at Laurita. “We just want to put New Egypt and Ocean County on the map this way,” Shea said. For more information on volunteer registration and scheduling, call and leave a voicemail with NOHFH at 732-228-7962 ext. 108.

I’ve been doing this for 12 years,” Jarrett said. “I hold four world records by hand. So we’re going back to the hand, and we actually picked up with Habitat for Humanity and we’re going to be building sand castles, building homes, and building hope. We hope to raise a lot of money for Habitat.” Volunteers are asked to donate $20.16 to work for the day, or donate $1 a bucket. Jarrett plans to work 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily until the work in completed. Jarrett has 1,800 yards of “sharp sand” from Kenvil, a sand that hardens when mixed with water. The sand is the remains of the Sandy Castle in Point Pleasant and Castle Laurita, a project from last year.

The Manchester Times, April 30, 2016, Page 7 Shop Manchester cards will be issued through the township. When used at a participating merchant, the cards will be swiped each time a purchase is made. A portion of the purchase price—and that percentage is determined by the merchant— will go toward the property owner’s tax bill for the following year. (Fincredit has a fiscal of year May 1 to April 30.) For example, a restaurant that provides a 20 percent property tax rebate will credit $40 on a $200 food bill. Fincredit’s fee is 25 percent of that credit, or $8. Merchants would need to purchase a machine that swipes the cards for $160 and a $10 flat fee

per month. There is no cost if transactions are done online. Renters may also participate in the rebate program if the township allows. Renters may receive a cash rebate less Fincredit fees. “One of the things I’ve always hoped to try improve, not necessarily that we want to become downtown Manhattan so to speak, but Manchester could use a more vibrant, more committed business community, from our town to you folks,” Mayor Kenneth Palmer told business owners at an August breakfast hosted to educate those owners on the program. “And one of the ways we think we can do that is with ‘Shop Manchester.’”

Marlboro’s Deputy Mayor Larry Rosen spoke at the breakfast as well. “Marlboro has a heavy senior population too. Our seniors love the program,” Rosen said. “Our seniors, the pushback we get there isn’t the use of the card, but registering the card. Once they’re in the program, they’re our biggest users. They love to save every penny.” Markulic told The Manchester Times the Township would provide names of businesses participating and the program’s start date when that information becomes available.

tors parking in driveways and knocking during dinner time. The no-knock registry will be updated twice a year and made available to solicitors. Those wishing to go door-to-door must obtain a permit from the clerk’s office after gaining approval to solicit. A vendor can face a $1,000 fine and up to 90 days com-

munity service for violating the no-knock ordinance. Each violation is considered a separate offense. Lakehurst residents may pick up a copy of the no-knock application from the clerk’s office in Borough Hall. Decals are provided for free if picked up from the clerk, otherwise a $1 to mail the decal applies.

Lakehurst Borough will also update its list each January and July. Violators in Lakehurst face a $1250 fine and revocation of their canvassing privileges. To download the no-knock registry from Manchester, visit manchestertwp.com/ no-knock-registry.

Opinion

Featured Letter Light It Up Blue Autism continues to be a growing problem in Ocean County, the State of New Jersey and the entire nation. A report just issued by the Center for Disease Control found that New Jersey’s autism rate in children has jumped 12 percent. Autism now impacts one in every 41 children born in the state. To call attention to autism, I recently asked our county employees and fellow elected officials to wear blue as part of the nationwide “Autism Speaks: Light It Up Blue” campaign. But simply calling attention to the problem is not enough. I join with our Congressional delegation in calling for more and better screenings of young children as well as early intervention for

those children diagnosed with autism. As a lifelong educator, I have seen the difference early intervention can make. However, a new problem is also emerging. A growing number of senior citizens are caring for their autistic adult children. What happens when these seniors are gone? As chairman of Senior Services for Ocean County, I’m calling on our leaders from all levels of government to join forces and find a solution to this growing problem. Parents enjoying their golden years should not have to worry about who will care for their sons and daughters. The time to act is now. Together we can find a solution. Joseph H. Vicari Freeholder

Earth Day Shows State’s Success It is hard to believe that 46 years have passed since the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970. That event marked the beginning of the modern environmental movement. It also was the launch of what has to be the most successful grass-roots movement in history. Never before, and never since, has one day so galvanized the public and moved governments at every level, to action. Earth Day also marks the 46th anniversary of the establishment of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Created by Governor William T. Cahill, New Jersey was just the third state in the country to form a department whose sole mission was to protect, restore, and preserve the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land on which we live. In the nearly five decades since, under both Republican and Democratic leadership, New Jersey has made enormous progress in undoing the environmental injuries of our state’s past and creating an environment in which our state and our people can thrive. And we have done so while also preserving the prosperity of our state. There are some who think the success of New Jersey’s environmental protection efforts is best measured by how much money we have collected in fines, how many new regulations we have written, and how many employees we have on DEP’s payroll. I do not agree. I believe the best way to measure our progress is by looking at the condition of our air, our water, our land, and our wildlife. These are the best measures of our progress and across the board, they prove that New Jersey’s environment is in much better shape than it was 46 years ago, and that the health of our environment continues to improve from one Earth Day anniversary to the next.

Letters To The Editor Today, New Jersey has some of the lowest carbon dioxide emissions in the country. Air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, and particulate matter are at their lowest levels in decades. Emissions from our own power plants are lower in New Jersey than they are in 45 other states. The acidity of rainfall in New Jersey has almost returned to natural levels and ground level ozone has also declined considerably. New Jersey’s water is significantly cleaner than it was 46 years ago. Ninet y-eight percent of our community water systems are in compliance with all chemical and radiological standards and we continue to identify and regulate contaminants of emerging concern to ensure public health. New Jersey’s coastal waters have rebounded from the damage done to them in decades past. Last summer, New Jersey’s beaches were open 99.9 percent of the time. And far more of our lakes, rivers, and streams are fishable and swimmable than they were in 1970. Our state’s land and natural and historic resources are also better protected than ever before. Today, more than 1.5 million acres of New Jersey’s land is permanently protected as open space or farmland. That’s fully 33 percent of our state’s total land area and growing. We have also cleaned up tens of thousands of contaminated sites and are now cleaning up such sites at a faster pace than ever before. In the past six years alone, more than 13,000 contaminated sites have been cleaned up and returned to beneficial use. The effect of these successes is reflected in the health of New Jersey’s wildlife. Forty-six years ago such birds as wood ducks, falcons, ospreys and egrets were in a steep decline. Today, all of these birds, and many others, have rebounded and their populations are growing. In 1970, about the

only place you could see a Bald Eagle in New Jersey was on the back of a quarter or a dollar bill. Today, New Jersey is home to nearly 150 nesting pairs of Bald Eagles, scattered across the entire state, and that number is growing every year. And where once animals such as black bears, coyotes, and red foxes were only rarely, if ever, seen in New Jersey, today they are as familiar as squirrels in most parts of our state. Of course, even with all this progress our work is not yet done, and it never will be completed. But on this Earth Day, we have much to be proud of in New Jersey. The progress we have made - and the commitment we share to continue that progress - ensures that we are leaving our state’s environment in much better shape than we found it. And that’s worth celebrating. Commissioner Bob Martin NJ Dept. of Environmental Protection

Cruz Is Not “Natural Born” Constitutional conservatives who support Ted Cruz for the U.S. Presidency may be making a big mistake that will blow up in their faces. Based on the text and original meaning of the words “natural born” in the U.S. Constitution, Senator Cruz cannot constitutionally be elected as the U.S. President. “Natural born,” according to the “Law of Nations” by Emer de Vattel, means that you are born on the land of the United States of America. Senator Cruz was born in Canada of an American citizen and therefore is only a citizen, but not “natural born.” Benjamin Franklin, a constitutional convention delegate, in a letter written during the U.S. Constitutional Convention indicated that Vattel’s “Law of Nations” was used as the manual for legal terminology at the convention. This constitutional requirement is included in

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution: “No person except a natural born citizen shall be eligible to the office of President.” This “natural born” restriction was and is intended to protect our nation from foreign influences and from divided international loyalties. A letter from John Jay to George Washington, the presiding officer of the constitutional convention, sent during the deliberations of the convention urged Washington to persuade the convention to require the president to be a “natural born” citizen to avoid divided loyalties. A person born in another country, argued Jay, might not be totally loyal to the U.S.A. He added that it is dangerous for the commander in chief to have divided loyalties. John Jay later became the first chief justice of the United States. So far every time that a reference has been made in a U.S. Supreme Court decision to “natural born” the words are recognized as being born on the land of the United States of America. The 1795 citizenship law written by James Madison, known as the “father of the constitution,” clearly indicated that citizens born off the land of the U.S.A., such as Cruz, are not “natural born.” Madison wanted to make sure that statutory law on this issue did not conflict with the U.S. Constitution. That is why he had the U.S. Congress adopt a comprehensive citizenship law that did just that. When I was in public school I was repeatedly and consistently taught that you must be born within the borders of the U.S.A. to be the president. I was taught the same meaning of “natural born” as an undergradauate student and later when I earned my Master of Arts degree in politics from New York University, I was taught the same. That is what I taught my high school students for 42 years as a U.S. History teacher during our unit on (Letters - See Page 24)

New Jersey Suffragette To Be Added To $10 Bill NEW JERSEY – U.S. Department of the Treasury’s announced that New Jersey-born suffragette Alice Paul will be commemorated on the new $10 bill. The back side of the $10 bill will honor women instrumental in the passage of the 19th Amendment, and Ms. Paul will appear with fellow women’s suffrage movement leaders Susan B. A nthony, So-

journer Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. “Alice Paul’s inspiring legacy reverberates far behind the borders of our home state – she inspired a nation and brought about monumental changes for t he women a rou nd t he world,” said Sen. Bob Menendez. “I look forward to being reminded of these ch a m pio n s fo r ge n d e r

equality – and especially New Jersey’s own Alice Paul – each time I use a $10 bill. In their honor, and for the future of our daughter and granddaughters, I will continue to fight until we achieve real equality and secure full ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.” Alice Paul started the National Women’s Party and was instrumental in

the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. Ms. Paul, a devout Quaker, not only led her fellow suff ragists on a three-week long hunger strike, but also organized one of the f irst groups ever to picket the White House. In 1923, Ms. Paul wrote the 24 words that would become the ERA, to enshrine in the Constitution the equal protection

under the law regardless of a person’s sex. This is the same text Menendez continues to push for in Congress. The ERA originally passed Congress in 1972, but failed to be ratified by a sufficient number of states. Additionally, Ms. Paul’s resolve led to the inclusion of sexual discrimination in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Though best known for

her endless work toward ratifying the 19th Amendment, she also fought for gender equality around the world. Her efforts facilitated the establishment of the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women, and she played a crucial role in the placement of a passage on gender equality in the preamble of the United Nations Charter.

DOD Reimburses County For Natural Land Purchases OCEA N COU N T Y – More than $1.6 million is coming back to Ocean County from the Department of Defense as part of a partnership to purchase open space around Joint Ba se – McG u i re, Di x, Lakehurst. “This is excellent news,” said Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., in announcing the reimbursement on six properties purchased by the county as part of its Natural Lands Trust program. Bartlett, who serves as liaison to the cou nt y’s Natural Lands Trust program, noted the effort that has been made to purchase property within the fivemile buffer of the base to protect it from encroachment. “The Joint Base needs to be protected and this Board of Freeholders continues to do all it can to assure it is not threatened by any fu-

ture actions from the Base Realignment and Closure Commission, which could result in a base closure,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly. “I appreciate the work of our Natural Lands Trust Committee under the leadership of Freeholder Bartlett in preserving land that benefits the environment and protects a military base important to our homeland security.” Since 2010, the Natural Lands Trust has been closely working with the base and the Department of Defense in preserving open space that falls within its five mile buffer. Under the partnership w it h t he D OD, O c e a n County has received almost $8.8 million from the DOD toward the purchase of 23 properties, totaling 4,279 acres, located in the five-mile buffer around the base. The Joint Base sits

in Ocean and Burlington counties. “The Joint Base is the nation’s only tri-service military base,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Division of Business Development and Tourism. “It supports over 23 major mission partners and more than 80 total mission partners.” The $1.6 million is reimbursement for the preservation of 261 acres in Jackson Township, almost 40 acres in Plumsted Township and 147 acres in Manchester Township. The total purchase price of the six properties was about $3.5 million. DOD reimbursement is between one-third and one-half of the original purchase price. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders has many good reasons to work closely with the base in its efforts to reduce encroach-

the future should there be another BRAC. “You cannot rest on your p a s t a c c o m pl i s h m e nt s when it comes to making certain this base is safe from spending cuts or a BRAC,” Kelly said. In order to protect the Joint Base, Ocean County also took a leading role in developing a Joint Land Use Study with Burlington County. “One of the key recommendations of that study was to protect the base through acquisitions of open space in order to protect it from encroachment,” Kelly said.

Bartlett said that no matter where the land is located it must meet the criteria of the program to be considered for purchase. “All the properties we have preserved come from willing sellers, has the support of the respective municipality and meet the program criteria,” Bartlett said. “The proper ty we preserve with the DOD not only meets our principles, but they overlap with the priorities of the base. “Working with the DOD provides us with additional funds and helps our funding go further,” Bartlett said.

BlueClaws Break Record With Home Opening Crowd

–Photo by Lakewood BlueClaws / Michael Dill of Michael Dill Sports & Event Photography The BlueClaws hosted Greensboro on April 14. The opening weekend saw over 28,000 fans, its largest ever in the 16-year history of the team. By Catherine Galioto LAKEWOOD – The BlueClaws had a banner week, announcing it had broken its record for the most fans in its opening weekend, and that it had reached an agreement with township officials to keep the team in Lakewood for another 40 years. The home opening weekend began April 14, and in the next days at home, 28,847 fans had turned out to FirstEnergy Park. That made it the largest crowds for the first four home games of the season in the 16-year history of the team. The last record was 27,481 fans over the first four games of 2010. “We’re thrilled to open the season with the great atmosphere we’ve had all weekend at the ballpark,” said BlueClaws General Manager Chris Tafrow. “The crowds have been great, the weather has been amazing, and can’t wait for more all summer long.” The team said that in its run at FirstEnergy Park, 6.4 million fans have come through the turnstiles to the stadium, which has 6,588

fixed seats, 16 luxury suites, two party decks and a grass picnic area. The Sunday April 16 game, part of the Kids Eat Free promotional day, drew more than 9,100 attendees, one of 13 times in BlueClaws history to have more than 9,000 attendees. Helping the crowds along was a $1 ticket promotion and good weather. A day after the BlueClaws opened at home against Greensboro, the club announced it had reached an agreement with Lakewood Township to extend their lease through 2055. “This is a banner day for the BlueClaws and we are thrilled to be able to stay at FirstEnergy Park for the foreseeable future,” said team president Joe Finley, in a statement. “The BlueClaws and the Township of Lakewood have had a tremendous relationship over the last 15 years and we look forward to many more great years of BlueClaws baseball in Lakewood.” The BlueClaws, a minor league affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, debuted in 2001.

Donald Webster, Jr. made a donation to fund the grant after reading about a similar grant made to Ridgeway School. Makerspaces are creative, DIY spaces where people can gather to create, invent and learn, often with a focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). Webster, whose children attended Whiting School, and whose wife is a teacher there, presented the materials to Principal Evelyn Swift and a small group of students.

Here’s To Your Health Dr. Izzy’s Sound News Presented By: Isidore Kirsh, Ph.D., F.A.A.A. (N.J. Lic. #678)

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

Hearing Health Snap Shot Did you know that your hearing health has a direct effect on your overall health? Some causes can be natural and others would surprise you. It is important to take an empowered, proactive approach to hearing health during every stage of your life. I would sincerely suggest that you read this column several times and share this information with your friends and family. Risk Factors Hearing loss is about twice as common in people with diabetes compared to those without the disease. Adults with pre-diabetes, whose blood glucose is higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis, have a 30 percent higher rate of hearing loss compared to those with normal blood sugar. Current smokers are 1.69 times more likely, or have a 70 percent higher risk to have hearing loss than nonsmokers. Studies have shown that a healthy cardiovascular system has a positive effect on hearing. Conversely, inadequate blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss. Hearing Loss In America 1. One in three people over the age of 60 have hearing loss. 2. One in six Baby Boomers (49-68) have hearing loss. 3. One in 14 Generation Xers (37-48) already have hearing loss. 4. One in five teenagers have some type of hearing loss. 5. Hearing aids can reduce the effects of hearing loss by 50 percent

Effects of Hearing Loss on a Patient’s Life Memory and Hearing Loss: Adults with hearing loss are more likely to develop problems thinking and remembering than adults with normal hearing. Degraded hearing may force the brain to devote too much of its energy to processing sound. Adults with hearing loss develop a significant impairment in their cognitive abilities 3.2 years sooner than those with normal hearing. Those with hearing loss experience a 30-40 percent greater decline in thinking abilities compared to their counterparts without hearing loss. Dementia and Hearing Loss: Seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. Adults with moderate hearing loss are 3 times more likely to develop dementia and those with severe hearing loss are 5 times more likely to develop dementia. Mental Health and Hearing Loss: Hearing loss results in social isolation. Adults with untreated hearing loss tend to withdraw from engaging with family and friends. Adults, 50 and older, with untreated hearing loss are more likely to report depression, anxiety, anger and frustration, emotional instability and paranoia, and are less likely to participate in social activities than those who wear hearing aids. The degree of depression and other emotional or mental health issues also increases with the severity of the hearing loss.

Dr. Izzy and his staff are always available to answer most of your questions regarding your hearing health. His offices are in Toms River, Whiting, and Manahawkin. He can be reached at 732-818-3610 or via Web site at gardenstatehearing.com.

MANCHESTER – On May 9 at 11 a.m. representatives from the Ocean County Family Support Organization, Inc. will offer a workshop at the Manchester branch Library to provide support, resources and information to grandparents who are raising children with emotional, behavioral and other special needs.

10 Tips To Outsmart Allergies our friendly and personal

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Every spring, some of you voluntarily harm your brain with antihistamines that make you feel like a zombie, or hungover with brain fog. These “first generation” antihistamines make you tired all day too. Allergy symptoms occur because your body releases histamine and leukotriene (and other pro-inflammatory compounds), which lead to runny nose and watery eyes, swelling, congestion, a scratchy throat and sneezing. Your goal would be to control those two cytokines and balance immune function. Go to a physician and pay a lot to be told to “avoid triggers” or “move” or “stop eating 40 foods.” Grumble all the way home because you know it’s not possible in your situation. So here’s my top ten list to help you: 1. Vitamin C – It’s a powerful antioxidant that prevents histamine from being made, rather than blocking it’s action at the cell’s doorway like a drug (antihistamine). It also reduces inflammation and helps with immune function. 2. Stinging Nettle – This herb is time tested, people who take it occasionally feel a mild diuretic effect. Compounds within the herb include carotenes, vitamin K and quercetin. Dosage varies, you can drink tea or take supplements. 3. Essential Oil of Eucalyptus – Used in steam inhalations or diffused in an aromatizer. Eucalyptus opens up your sinuses and air passageways, improving airflow. It contains “citronellal,” which has pain-relieving benefits and anti-inflammatory effects making it useful for upper respiratory infections. 4. Salt – Natural, unrefined salt (not table salt) actually has natural antihistamine effects. If you’re having a sneezing fit, or hay fever

These foods include sausage, smoked meats, chocolate, alcohol, aged cheese, dried foods, fermented foods and nuts. 7. Visit a salt cave – These are amazing, I’ve been inside one in Santa Barbara. They are popping up as the new “spa treatment” across North America. Sitting in a Himalayan salt cave, inhaling ionized air infuses your body with valuable minerals. The particles of sodium chloride may improve allergies and kill fungus. 8. Butterbur – I wrote about this in my Headache Free book. Butterbur acts like the pharmaceutical drug called Singulair, and it inhibits the production of leukotrienes, which trigger swelling in your nasal passages. 9. Propolis – An animal study showed some interesting results. Propolis significantly inhibited histamine release from mast cells. 10. Chlorella – This supplement is a type of algae grown in fresh water often suggested for reducing radiation treatment side effects, stimulating the immune system and increasing white blood cell counts. For allergies, chlorella can reduce histamine, and improve interleukin 12 and interferon.

following the screenings. “Harry Grows Up” is short romantic comedy, lasting 12 minutes. New York is a tough place to find love. Especially for an 18-month-old living on his own. The end is not easy to predict, nor are the well edited scenes that follow one another, so the viewer is pleasantly surprised at every turn. The use of black and white, instead of color, gives the film a timeless appeal. Complete with a sweet-sounding musical score, this romantic comedy is a gem. This film is a winner of 20 awards including: L.A. Comedy Shorts Fest, Best of New York, New York International Shorts Fest, Best Short Film, Charleston International Film Festival. “Fool’s Day” is a short comedy drama, lasting 19 minutes. “Fool’s Day” is a dark comedy about a fourth grade class that pulls an innocent, April Fool’s prank on their teacher, which accidentally kills her. Panicked and convinced they will go to prison, the blood splattered classmates try to cover up the murder and dispose of the body before their D.A.R.E. officer shows up for his weekly lesson. Winner of the Best Short Film, Seattle International Film Festival Golden Space Needle Award, Vail Film Festival and Best Narrative Short in Tribeca. Tickets for this event are $25. Tickets can be purchased at: Things A Drift (Ship Bottom), South End ‘N Surf and Paddle (Beach Haven), Mary Allen Realty ( Ship Bottom) or online at lighthousefilmfestival.org. Proceeds of this event will go to the Lighthouse International Film Festival, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

Dear Joel Pet Sounds

Dear Joel, My Dad recently passed away and my Mom is now living alone after 55 years of marriage. Mother is in good health, however she has some very bad days and has nonstop fits of crying. After a while, I don’t know what to say to her. Here is my question. My sister feels that buying her a dog is a good idea. I have mixed feelings about it. Being that you work with widows and widowers, I thought that you may have some experience. Answer: First of all thank you for writing. I indeed do have a lot of experience working with people who have lost spouses. It’s important to keep in mind that there are many young people who lose spouses and it’s not restricted to people 70 and above. Unfortunately illness does not understand age I will get to the dog part, but first want to address a few things that I hear in your letter. You say that Dad passed away recently but don’t give me an exact amount of time. The reason that I say this is that mourning, sadness following a death, are very good healing tools. These are expected after a major loss. If however your mother is having “crying fits” after a year or so, I am a concerned. Lengthy

mour ning is n o t h e a lt hy and she may need some help, whether it be religious or psychological. Now to the dog part of your question. Not knowing her and not being able to ask you more questions makes it difficult to answer. I do not recommend a puppy for people her age. It may be too physically challenging and could be damaging psychologically if she feels like she isn’t doing a good job. Has she had dogs before? If not, there is no way of knowing if she has any interest in having an animal around. My list goes and on. While I personally believe that it would be a good idea, this is an example of when I wouldn’t surprise her with an animal. Have a discussion with her and see if she even likes the idea. The last thing she needs is a dog being delivered to her home and then asking for the dog to be removed a week later. Questions for Joel? Write to preferredcares.com.

the constitution. In 2008, an aide to Hillary Clinton claimed that presidential candidate Barack Obama could not be elected president because Obama was born in Kenya and therefore was not “natural born.” The Obama campaign, recognizing that being born in Kenya would bar him from being elected president, produced a birth certificate indicating that Obama was born in Hawaii. The point is that as late as the last two presidential elections it was recognized that you had to be born in the U.S.A. to be elected president. Hillary Clinton can challenge Cruz’s right to be elected president even as late as the approach of the meeting of the electoral college after the November elections. The constitutional conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court most likely would rule that Cruz is ineligible to be U.S. President and the leftists could vote the very same way in order to get a president who would appoint more liberal justices. If such a Clinton challenge is upheld by

the U.S. Supreme Court, constitutional conservatives who are supporting Cruz would regret their votes for Cruz. Cruz would render a great service to their cause by acknowledging that he is ineligible to be elected president and then become the best choice to be the next conservative judge on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Restore YES to Comcast Opening Day should be a time of celebration for baseball fans everywhere, but Comcast continues to deny close to a million of its subscribers access to New York Yankees telecasts on the YES Network. Comcast should restore YES to its lineup and honor the deal to which it agreed last season so that YES’ Yankees telecasts, among the most popular sports programming in the U.S., are available to all Comcast viewers in the Tri-State area.

By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER –The township budget presentation is scheduled for 6 p.m. May 9. Mayor Ken Palmer said the proposed $33.124 million budget is more than last year, due to unavoidable expenses, but that in spite of those numbers the municipal tax rate will go from $0.652 to $0.654 per $100 of assessed valuation. Officials said the township did dip into its surplus this year to keep the tax rate flat. The average homeowner will see an increase of $6 in their annual municipal tax rate, based on the township average of $157,000. That homeowner paid $1023.64

last year, and will pay $1026.62 this year. The tax levy will increase by 0.61 percent, a total of $129,739.12, from $21.116 million to $21.246 million. Manchester employs 209 full-time and 65 part-time employees, with a salary and benefits package totaling $21.6 million, up from $21.1 last year. Copies of the budget are available for inspection at the clerk’s office and library. A copy of the user-friendly budget and full 2016 introduced budget are also available online on the Finance page of the municipal website, manchestertwp.com/departments/department-of-finance/finance/budget-archive/.

Jewish Heritage Museum To Present Documentary

FREEHOLD – The Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County, (JHMOMC), 310 Mounts Corner Drive, will show the premier of “Gellman American Dream,” a documentary about the Gellman family created by New Jersey filmmaker Gary Gellman, on May 15, at 3 p.m. The recently produced documentary features the Gellman family, who has lived in New Jersey for 110 years. As Jewish immigrant farmers during the first half of the 20th century, they settled in Western Monmouth County and built a business supplying vegetables to the Garden State region. According to Gary Gellman, who is a grandson, four generations of his family are still alive. His oldest living aunt, age 97, is the only one of nine children still alive and a life-long resident of Monmouth County; she hopes to attend the premier of the film. Karin Levy Gellen, Boca Raton, FL, is co-author of “Yesterday,” a Gellman family historical book. Gellen will also be present among other guests. After the premier of the film, Gellman will explain how families can create their own family history documentary. He will detail the entire process, provide guidance about the creation process and describe how he collected all of the materials necessary to put together the documentary of his family, from old family movies to newspaper articles. “We recorded interviews with family members in their 80s and 90s, incorporated old film reels, photographs, media publications and created a 30-minute piece

that documents our family history,” said Gary Gellman. “Our Jewish history came alive as we produced this documentary and uncovered our fascinating past.” It is remarkable what Jewish farmers needed to do to survive. Gary Gellman, founder of Gellman Images, has been featured nationally more than 500 times in newspapers, magazines and on radio, over the last twenty-seven years. This includes appearing nationally on CBS’s “The Early Show,” ABC’s “Good Morning Las Vegas,” CBS’s “Early Show Indianapolis,” Fox’s “Good Day Philadelphia,” Action News’ “Early Edition,” NBC’s “10” and News 12’s “Daytime Edition” to discuss the multi-media industry. He has been a featured speaker at conventions in Las Vegas, Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Gellman completed his broadcasting and journalism studies at The College of New Jersey. Reservations for the screening and talk are recommended. Admission is $8 for Museum members and $10 for non-members. For more information or to make a non-refundable paid reservation, call the Museum at 732-252-6990 or visit jhmomc.org. The Jewish Heritage Museum is located in the Mounts Corner Shopping Center, at 310 Mounts Corner Drive. It is on the second floor of the historic Levi Solomon Barn. The JHMOMC is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and is handicapped accessible. For more information or to speak with Gary Gellman, call 732-431-8273 or email gary@gellmanimages.com.

Business Profile

Carmona-Bolen: Family Owned And Operated

412 Main Street, Toms River, NJ • Telephone: 732-349-1922 • Michael J. DeFonzo, Mgr. • NJ Lic. No. 4075 The hardest thing in life is to mourn the loss of a loved one. It’s something we all must do. Each step after a family member has passed may seem like an eternity. During these moments a family needs to know which way to turn. Carmona-Bolen Home for Funerals has been helping families with their next step since 1950. Their webpage says “Let our family ser ve your family” and it’s a message they emphasize in their business. Since the beginning, Carmona-Bolen was founded with the belief of creating a personal family atmosphere and ensuring that this is reflected in their service to the customers. Larry Bolen and his wife Joyce

purchased the funeral home in 1980. In 2006, Larry passed away but the business is still remains family owned and operated. Carmona-Bolen is presently run by Joyce Bolen, along with Michael DeFonzo, funeral director and manager of both the Toms River and Whiting locations. The rest of the Carmona-Bolen staff consists of Joyce’s niece Cherie Robertson who works in the office, funeral directors Jason Campagna and Sarah Hansen, office workers Patrick Piccoli and John Deem, along with a few other funeral assistants. Owner Joyce Bolen has always emphasized that Carmona-Bolen is a family business where

people can receive that personal attention during their time of need. “My aunt has always wanted people to feel that it is our family helping their family,” says niece Cherie Robertson. Both Toms River and Whiting locations offer the same services. Inside the funeral home, clients are greeted with an aviary which houses small finches, a large fish tank, and a kids’ room for children. The Toms River location has a renovated area known as “The Angel Room” which has an airbrushed ceiling painted by manager Michael DeFonzo. The viewing rooms are designed for comfort according to funeral director Sarah Hansen. She

states that instead of a traditional viewing room with the chairs lined up in rows, Carmona-Bolen’s rooms are centered around the loved one, allowing for a more intimate atmosphere during the viewing. Carmona-Bolen and their staff offer step-bystep solutions for grieving families. Any special details associated with the death of a loved one can be arranged at either facility. Several different forms of services from traditional funerals, to cremations and memorial services are offered at Carmona-Bolen depending upon the needs of their clients. Carmona-Bolen also encourages pre-planning to lessen the burden financially

and emotionally for their loved ones. “We offer services for different religions and we can do different types of funerals,” explained Cherie Robertson. She also stated that a majority of people see their buildings and assume that only traditional services are of fered, but Carmona-Bolen can offer services for any need. Items like flowers, monuments and obituaries and even community links are located on their website as well as other topics not often thought of. A section of the website is dedicated to answering frequently asked questions, in addition to links to surrounding amenities near the funeral home. Carmona-Bolen wants

the public to know that when a client walks into their funeral home they are welcomed with a warm feeling. “ There is comfort in knowing the same people have worked here for years. It is a family- like feeling” said Cherie Robertson. “Every time you come here you’ll see the same faces” said funeral director Sarah Hansen. For more information about Carmona-Bolen or their ser vices you can contact manager Michael DeFonzo or the Carmona-Bolen staff at 732-349 -1922 for the Toms River location or call 732-350- 0003 for the Whiting loc ation.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of April30-May 6 By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you break enough rules eventually that rule is replaced. Until then you must yield to the pressure to conform and stick to what you know best. Seek the sound advice of friends or partners in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Good manners make the man. Your interest in a variety of unusual subjects can earn you the friendship or admiration of less adventurous souls. Be content to stick to the conventional route in the upcoming week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A tendency to wallow in self-indulgence could put you in the doghouse as this week unfolds and cause others to criticize. Bypass social exchanges and keep your nose to the grindstone until the atmosphere shifts. CANCER (June 21-July 22): False starts may occur when too many people wave a checkered flag. This isn’t a good week to give in to romantic notions or to let mixed signals deter you from your goals. Creative activities provide suitable outlets. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Ambition may not be your aim this week. True friendship and mutual appreciation is gender neutral. You may meet someone who has your best interests at heart but physical attraction isn’t part of the equation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When the oilcan is within reach it is easier to tend to squeaky wheels. Focus on fixing problems within the home and family in the week to come. Use wisdom and generosity to handle intense interpersonal situations. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): People can be

nourished by your energy without draining it. Once stirred by your example someone could go to great lengths to imitate your unconventional methods this week. Prevent a friend from burning bridges. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your partners may throw caution to the winds in the week to come. Be a good friend and act as a restraining influence. Getting wrapped up in complicated schemes to protect your future security could drain resources. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be late if you procrastinate. In the week to come you could lose out on opportunities because you take too much time to prepare for public appearances or meetings. Be proud of your plethora of experience. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Getting ahead requires persistence and relentless ambition. In the week to come you may feel less under pressure and can relax to enjoy the fruits of your labors. Your social life may revolve around the home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Traditional values will keep you afloat when new ideas flood in. Your friends and partners may stray from the herd and tempt you to discard conventions. A surprising message might brighten the week ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you don’t stand for something you might fall for anything. It is easy to echo the opinions of your friends just so you appear to fit in. Make a statement this week by concentrating on achieving realistic goals.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Fresh Fare: Omelet Recipe Features Farmers’ Market Veggies

By Wolfgang Puck

I’d like to share a recipe that makes the most of the offerings you’d find in your local farmers’ market: an egg white omelet with farmers’ market vegetables. It features an assortment of produce: asparagus, baby spinach, mushrooms, tomato, avo c a do, wat e r c r e s s , a nd a touch of fresh serrano chile pepper. But you could substitute whatever other vegetables that you might prefer. Egg white omelets have become ver y popular in recent years among people who want to cut down on fat but still get lots of healthy protein. If you want a touch of f lavor and golden color without too much additional fat, substitute an egg yolk for one of the whites called for in the ingredients list. I generally like to cook one omelet at a time, though you could also prepare a larger omelet in a larger pan for two, three or four people, cutting it into individual portions after cooking. Either way, you’ll find that the recipe takes just minutes to prepare. I cook most of the vegetables quick ly in a lit tle olive oil, drain off excess liquid (a must if you’re including spinach), and then mix them in with the eggs before cooking the omelet. The remaining vegetables, uncooked, become garnishes and a simple salad to accompany the eggs. The combination satisfies greatly, whether you serve the omelet for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner and at any time of year!

2 ounces baby spinach leaves (about 2 cups packed), plus 1 ounce for serving 1/2 to 1 t ablespoon ser r a no chile, chopped, seeded and deveined 5 large cage-free egg whites 2 tablespoons f reshly grated Parmesan cheese Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup (125 mL) tomato, diced and seeded

Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a heavy medium nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms and asparagus and saute, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes. Add 2 ounces of spinach and the serrano chile; saute brief ly, just until the spinach wilts. Transfer to a sieve set over a bowl. Press to release excess liquid. Pour the egg whites, Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste into another container or bowl. With an immersion blender or a wire whisk, blend the whites until smooth and frothy. Stir in the drained sauteed vegetables. Over high heat, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more oil to the skillet. Add the egg white mixture. Shake the pan back and forth, stir ring with the back of the fork to scramble lightly, about 1 minute. Spread half of the tomatoes across the center. Cook until the egg whites are opaque and gently set, about 1 minute longer. With the fork, fold the near edge of the omelet in towards the center and over the filling. Fold the far edge in over the center. Slide or push the omelet toward the far end of the skillet. Grip EGG WHITE OMELET the handle f rom under neath.
