By Catherine Galioto TOMS RIVER – The Toms River Little Indians’ 8u and 12u teams each had a successful season as national championship teams, a feat recognized by the
mayor and council April 26. Both teams came out to accept honoring resolutions, and demonstrated a cheer for the audience, which was met with rousing applause.
That night, the 8u team cheered “Alligator, Crocodile, let’s get funky for awhile.” The 12u team cheered “Red hot! Our team is red hot! Our team is R-E-D and H-O-T, they can’t be stopped!”
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 for tallest sand castle. “My reputation has always been based on ‘by hand,’ and Guinness World Records after [Hurricane] Sandy changed the rules
to allow machines. 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
Catherine Galioto TOMS RIVER – A potential $10 million land buy of 50-plus acres in North Dover would preserve the land as open space, halting the potential for development there. The township council approved two ordinances that would clear the way to buy, through its open space fund and bond notes, several parcels that border Route 9, Riverwood and Cox Cro roads in a corridor local officials said is seeing explosive growth. “Once it’s gone, it’s gone,” said Councilman Jeffrey Carr, of what he said was the importance of securing land as open space instead of seeing it developed commercially or as a residential development. But the landowner, Henry Guttman, said no one from the township bothered to call him to discuss what would happen to his land, a poultry farm owned by his family for decades. Guttman spoke at the public hearing for the ordinances, asking “You’re acquiring a majority of my property … and no one talks to no one?” He asked if there were plans for condemnation of the property.

The Guttman Family is owner of 35 acres on Route 9 near Riverwood Drive, where a house and several farm buildings sit. The property has been in the family for 70 years, he said. The other parcels have other owners, and total about 20 acres, off Cox Cro Road extending north toward Hickory Street. Spending $10.3 million was unanimously approved by the council at its April 26 meeting, with $9.78 million in bonds to pay for it. Township officials said the land use committee held meetings starting fall 2015 to discuss preserving those parcels as open space. Township Administrator Paul Shives said that while a letter did go out to landowners, the process for the township acquiring the land it seeks is different than a private
sale. “What happens is the governing body authorizes the sale by way of ordinance, but that does not take you out of the process,” Shives said to Guttman. “What has to happen then is an appraisal has to be conducted.” That appraiser is an agent of the township, who will meet with the landowner, appraise the land and come up with a figure to proceed with for negotiations. “I’m sorry we haven’t met, but the process hasn’t afforded us an opportunity to.” Shives said that after the ordinances pass that meeting would likely happen very quickly. Councilmen Carr, Brian Kubiel and Mo Hill each responded to the three residents who spoke in opposition of the ordinances, and the councilmen said these neighborhoods of Toms River are quickly losing undeveloped parcels. “If we continue to build out every parcel of land that we have, we’re not going to be able to move in that area,” Hill said, adding that
BRICK – Temple Beth Or will commemorate Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, with a program at the temple, 200 Van Zile Road. The event will be held at 3 p.m. on May 1. Max Snijders, a holocaust survivor, will speak about his experiences and show a photo presentation with some amazing pictures that survived the war. He will also display some artifacts, including his parents’ identity cards with a “J” on them,
falsified ID cards and rationing coupons. Snijders, 87, was born in 1929 in Enkhuizen, a small fisherman’s village in northern Holland. He was secretly bar mitzvahed in 1942 and went into hiding on his own in the countryside shortly afterwards at only 13 years old. He had six different hiding places, and was betrayed in a few, causing him to be on the run for more than three years. He was reunited with his parents, who were hiding in Amsterdam, in the last few weeks

more than a thousand homes were approved for nearby areas. Kubiel said that the building department had a record amount of building permits in March, a large portion of which were generated from projects in that part of town. Resident Nels Luthman, a Democrat, said too much of the sale will be funded through bonds, and in his opinion the township doesn’t have the money to fund it. “Our debt service runs between 9 and 11 percent, and you guys are the fiscal conservatives,” Luthman said. “There’s no money in the open space fund.” Also speaking in opposition was Dan Rodrick, a Democrat running for an unexpired term on the council. Rodrick suggested the township look at its master plan to rezone parcels as commercial ratables instead of allowing high density housing, as was approved elsewhere. Hill disagreed, saying the two-lane high-

Long-time Toms River resident Charles Vandenbulcke, who manages the Ocean County Mall, said he’s seen how that development shaped the township before and how a purchase such as this could help shape it for the better. “We’ve all seen the changes,” Vandenbulcke said. “For me, whatever increase in taxes might come along with a purchase like that is well worth it to preserve what little open space there is at the north end of Toms River.”
national memorial day and public holiday. It was inaugurated on 1953, anchored by a law signed by the Prime Minister of Israel David Ben-Gurion and the President of Israel Yitzhak Ben-Zvi. It is held on the 27th day of Nisan (April/May), unless that day would be adjacent to Shabbat, in which case the date is shifted by a day. This year, Yom Hashoah begins on May 4.

Do You Suffer From Numbness or Tingling Down the Arms or Legs?
THIS SOLUTION COULD GIVE YOU YOUR LIFE BACK! Ulyess M. - Cook “I Feel These Treatments Gave Me My Life Back.” “I was suffering with back and leg pain for three years and thought my life was over. The only comfort I got was taking pain pills but when they wore off the pain returned. My family found Monmouth Pain and they were very pleased with what they read about it. I feel he gave me my life back. The treatment is painless and I felt the difference.” Ellen E. - Retired Nurse “I Can Guarantee You Will Not Be Disappointed.”
YOU’RE NOT ALONE!
Most numbness/tingling sufferers have no idea what to do when they experience these symptoms. Although there are many causes of numbness/tingling one of the main reasons is damage to the joints, ligaments, and discs in the neck or low back. Damage may have occurred as a result of an injury or could have developed slowly over time. In addition to pain, damaged spinal joints and discs (cushions between the bones) will place pressure on the nerves that go down the arms, hand, fingers, and even the upper back. This ‘pressure’ is the cause of numbness/tingling. When left untreated, pain and weakness in the muscles may be the eventual result.
“For over 10 years, I’ve had severe debilitating back pain, and saw numerous doctors, trying different treatments, and finally I was told the end result would be surgery, which I didn’t want to have. As time went by my pain levels increased to an unbearable state. I couldn’t walk, sit, stand, bend, sleep or even think and I thought for sure I would soon be using a caneor possibly a wheelchair. The thought traumatized me mentally and began to get depressed. A friend noticed how much pain I was constantly in and recommended Monmouth Pain. They were unable to manage my pain. From the very first week of Monmouth Pain’s state of the art therapy techniques, my life began to change. The severe sciatica which plagued me for so many years began to lessen and lessen. The herniated disc in my lower back began to allow me movement, and it brought the biggest smile back to my face. His treatments are virtually pain free, comfortable, and totally relaxing. I would recommend “anyone” with severe, debilitating pain, who feels there is no hope or has given up on their previous doctors to come in, see for yourself and receive the blessing of having your life back. I can guarantee you will NOT be disappointed.” Helen B. – Administrator
When the problem is in the neck or lower back, using over-the-counter, and even prescribed drugs to fix the cause of the problem is not the answer for many. And if medication fails, surgery might be considered the only other alternative. The doctors of Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation want to let you know that there is a another way. Come see what has given our patients pain and numbness relief. Their state-of-theart facilities are located in Red Bank and Wall Township, NJ.
WHAT DO WE OFFER THE NUMBNESS AND TINGLING SUFFERER? Some arm and leg conditions that we see can be helped by FDA cleared medical technology known as non-surgical spinal decompression. By decompressing the spine, disc spaces can increase and relieve pressure on pinched or irritated nerves offering substantial relief. In our office we have seen patients get relief from: • Herniated and/or Bulging Discs • Sciatica • Peripheral Neuropathy • Degenerative Disc Disease • CarpalTunnel Syndrome
THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THE MOST SERIOUS CASES… EVEN WHEN NOTHING ELSE WORKED. EVEN AFTER FAILED SURGERY! In conjunction with spinal decompression we utilize the latest in cold laser and low-light therapy to assist in pain and numbness/tingling relief. These painless, non-invasive FDA cleared medical technologies stimulate the natural healing powers inside cells of injured discs, muscles and nerves.Since offering these technologies we have seen amazing results for back, leg, arm pain and numbness/tingling sufferers. Here’s what some of them have said: “It Has Worked 100%.” I was having a problem with numbness and tingling in my left hand and had a MRI. The results required an operation, but luckily my girlfriend read the newspaper and read an ad about Monmouth Pain, so I called the office, made an appointment and went to see him and the result – I became a patient and I was lucky his treatments worked 100%. Thanks to Monmouth Pain and staff I am now able to use my left hand 100%. Sincere thanks.
PAIN FROM SCIATICA RADIATES FROM THE BUTTOCK DOWN THE LEG AND CAN TRAVEL AS FAR AS THE FEET AND TOES.
IF YOU SUFFER FROM THESE OR OTHER WARNING SIGNS CALL IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT POSSIBLE ADVANCING COMPLICATIONS.
“I Can Now Get My Sleep And Function At My Job And Enjoy The Things I Like To Do And Feel Great.” I had great results since I’ve been having treatments at your office. I was waking up at 4am with pain and numbness in my right hand. I don’t wake up at 4am with pain anymore. I can now get my sleep and function at my job and enjoy things I like to do and feel great. I want to thank Monmouth Pain and his great staff. I recommended my friends to see what Monmouth Pain can do for them. Karen S. - Administrator “My Wrist Hurt So Much After Working On My Computer At Work!” I am so grateful that I came to the office. When I first came I was suffering from pain in my neck that traveled down my shoulder, into my arm and hand. My wrist would hurt so much after working on the computer at work. My hand and fingers were even beginning to tingle. It was not only affecting my work but it began to compromise my personal life as well. Sleeping was very uncomfortable too. I am now feeling a lot better. The pain has subsided a lot. I am so glad that I became a patient here. Raul D. - Computer Engineer “It Is Such A Great Relief That I Can Sleep At Night.” I saw the article in the newspaper and said, “why not give it a try either it will or will not work.” I was diagnosed with neuropathy in my feet. I was told there was nothing that could be done just medication I was trying to live with it. It is such a relief that I can sleep at night. There were times I could not fall asleep for days. I felt relief by the second week. I am looking forward to working again and not having any pain to stop me. Monmouth Pain and the staff are wonderful, very friendly, and put you at ease. I would recommend others to go to his office.The treatments really do work.Thanks. Kathleen M. - Homecare

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 t h a t Ne w Je r s e y’s autism rate in children has jumped 12 percent. Autism now impacts one in every 41 children born in the state. To call at tent ion to autism, I recently asked our county employees and fellow elected off icials 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 chil-
dren diagnosed with autism. As a lifelong educator, I have seen the difference early inter vention 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 chair man of Sen ior Ser vices for Ocea n Cou nt y, I’m calli ng on ou r leaders from all levels of government to join forces and find a solution to this growing problem. Pa rents enjoy i ng t hei r golde n yea r s 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.

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 succe ssf u l g r a ss-root s 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
Letters To The Editor 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. 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 ref lected 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 (Letter - See Page 25)

MODC To Honor Tourism Department & Vo-Techs
Freeholder Director Joseph H.

OCEAN COUNTY – 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 Base – McGuire, Dix, 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 county’s Natural Lands Trust program, noted the effort that has been made to purchase property within the five-mile buffer of the base to protect it from encroachment. “The Joint Base needs to be
schools and the Department of Business Development and Tourism. Vicari said Ocean County Vo-Tech offers dozens of programs for both high-school and adult students in six facilities scattered around the county and at the Ocean County Fire and First Aid Training Academy in Waretown. Under the leadership of Superintendent William P. Hoey Jr., the schools train students for occupations ranging from traditional construction and automotive trades to culinary arts, fashion design, health care, computer science, audio-visual skills and environmental science.
The exclusive Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Sciences is a highly competitive academy that admits the best applicants from the county’s high schools. Both MATES and the Performing Arts Academy have been recognized as National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence by the US Department of Education. “We are very proud of the outstanding opportunities offered by our Vo-Tech Schools,” said Vicari, himself a lifelong educator. “To compete globally, our students need the best education available and our Vocational and Technical Schools are among the best in
the nation.” Vicari also had high praise for Lancellotti, who oversees the county’s role in the largest and economically important local industry – tourism. “It’s no secret that Ocean County remains a top tourist destination and under Lancellotti’s guidance we’ve seen more visitors than ever flock to our beaches, bay and local attractions,” he said. Tourism within Ocean County now generates an astounding $4.6 billion towards the local economy, ranking third in the state behind only Cape May and Atlantic counties. Since taking the reins of the newly christened Department
of Business Development and Tourism in 2013, Lancellotti has worked closely with local chambers of commerce and business leaders to promote the county both in the United States and Canada. “We are also looking for new markets and new ways to highlight all we have to offer in Ocean County,” Lancellotti said. “We are very fortunate to have not only 44 miles of white sandy ocean beaches, but also acres of pristine parks and woodlands and first-rate attractions such as Six Flags, the Lakewood BlueClaws, the Tuckerton Seaport and so many more.” On the business development

protected and this Board of Freeholders continues to do all it can to assure it is not threatened by any future 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 with the DOD, Ocean 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 encroachment. “The Joint Base has the second largest work force in New Jersey,” said Kelly, who serves as liaison to the base. “Its economic value and its military value are immeasurable when it comes to this country, this state and this county.” Kelly, who worked closely with Congressional leaders
and community representatives, in saving Navy Lakehurst from being dismantled by the Base Realignment and Closure Commission, twice, noted that taking steps now to protect the Joint Base will provide benefits in the future should there be another BRAC. “You cannot rest on your past accomplishments 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
side, Lancellotti has worked closely with local leaders to protect and promote Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, which as the second largest employer in the state and pumps more than $6.9 billion dollars into the local economy. The MODC is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and business environment in Monmouth and Ocean Counties. MODC’s members include hundreds of influential business, community and government leaders. The MODC will present the annual Silver Gull awards at a special banquet in Farmingdale.

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 property 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.
From The Desk Of Congressman Tom MacArthur:
Congressman Tom MacArthur
NEW JERSEY – Cong ressman Tom MacA rthur recently called on the House A r med Ser vices
Committee to explore putting an East Coast Aegis Ashore missile defense system in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2017. Current missile defense interceptor sites exist in Califor nia and Alaska,
MacArthur Calls For Aegis Ashore Site To Protect East Coast
but lack one on the East Coast of the United States. The prospect of an Aegis Ashore site offers an affordable way to protect large population centers like New York City, Philadelphia, Boston and Wash-
ington, DC from ballistic missile attacks. “As the Representative of a significant number of people who lost loved ones during the 9/11 attacks, I take securing the East Coast very seriously,
especially when Iran conducts a new missile test nearly every week,” said Congressman MacArthur. “Ter rorists have shown in the past that they view cities like New York, Washington and Boston as tar-
gets and will not hesitate to attack. Any increase in protection for these cities is certainly warranted and this study will present an alternative option and a proactive approach to our national security agenda.”

Drop Used Cell Phones At Collection Locations
BERKELEY – Nancy Seibert has been collecting for “Cell Phones for Soldiers” since 2006. She has combined forces with the Berkeley based “Support the Troops” project and Lloyd Mullikin, who has been sending packages oversea since 2004. Over the past six years these projects have worked closely together collecting phones and mailing packages, which include calling cards to troops overseas. Cell phones are collected in any condition and sent to a recycler. The profits from the recycling are sent to the organization headquarters in Massachusetts to purchase 60-minute calling cards for troops overseas, so that they may keep in contact with their families during their deployment. To date, there have been over 17,000 phones collected and over 63,000 free 60-minute calling cards donated through the group’s efforts to date. The group has various drop sites throughout the area so that donors can drop their phones in them. The phones are collected from the sites for recycling. The group also accepts names of soldiers serving overseas to send them calling cards. Just supply their name, rank and military mailing address in order for them to receive a package along with the calling cards.
For more information, contact Nancy Seibert, project coordinator at 732-606-6040. Drop locations include: all Lester Glenn Auto Group locations, Berkeley Twp.

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.
Admiral Farragut: The Hero & The Military School
TOMS RIVER – On May 22, at the Ocean County Historical Society, located at 26 Hadley Ave., meet two gentlemen that are well acquainted with David Farragut, the hero, and David Farragut’s legacy, Admiral Farragut Academy. This event will occur at 2 p.m. Robert Caleo, a retiree from Bell Labs, who holds degrees from Rutgers University and New York University, has remained active in two of his long-time avocations – writing on historical subjects and teaching at the college level. His research has enabled him to write “Farragut and Family – The Making of an Elder Hero” and he will enlighten event-goers about the first rear admiral, the first vice admiral and the first admiral in the U.S. Navy.
Joining Caleo, Robert Matthies, a cadet at Admiral Farragut Academy in Pine Beach, from 1963 to 1967, will relate his knowledge of the academy while he was Headmaster from 1979 to 1993. Matthies’ teaching career began in the Brick Township School System before he moved to the position of administrator and promoter of the unique Admiral Farragut Academy. He is currently serving as the mayor of Seaside Park. Enjoy refreshments and share questions about the famous military school that was built on the Toms River and the man for which it was named, David G. Farragut, after the guests present their program. There is no charge for the program, but reservations are required. Make a reservation by calling 732-341-1880.

Get Tickets For LIFF Kick Off Party
LONG BEACH ISLAND – The Lighthouse International Film Festival has announced the LIFF Kick Off Party will be held on May 7 at 7 p.m. This event will be held at Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences, 120 Long Beach Blvd., Loveladies. Discover what’s screening at the 2016 Lighthouse International Film Festival, held June 9 to 12, when the film lineup will be unveiled by Executive Director Eric Johnson. The LIFF Kick-Off Party is the time to catch the previews. The party will include hors d’oeuvres from the area’s best restaurants, libations and a silent auction. Items included are: stand-up paddle board lessons, original LBI art by local artists, gift cards for fine dining, gift baskets from local businesses, throw pillows from a local design store, professional beach photo shoots, art classes and more. No waiting in line if you buy tickets online. There will be limited tickets available at the door. The Kick Off Party will feature the screening of two award-winning short films, “Harry Grows Up” and “Fool’s Day.” The film-makers will be available for questions 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.

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.

Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
10 Tips To Outsmart Allergies 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 attack, put a tiny amount of unrefined salt on the tip of your tongue. Let it absorb, you don’t have to swallow it. Rinse the excess. Another variation of using salt is to drink a little salt-laced water during your attack. Use saline in your Neti pots daily. 5. Bromelain – This pineapple-derived enzyme is sold as a supplement. It reduces swelling as well as mucus production, so it’s particularly helpful for sinus infection. It may thin mucus making it easier for you to breathe. 6. Avoid histamine-forming foods, thus reducing the burden of histamine inside your body. 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.

Holocaust Remembrance Events At Ocean County College
TOMS RIVER – The Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education at Ocean County College (OCC) invites the community to attend its 2016 Holocaust Remembrance Program from May 2 to 6 on the OCC Main Campus, College Drive. Events are free and open to the public. May 2 - Candle Lighting and Memorial Service: Flagpole, Campus Mall, 2:30 p.m. World Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day known as Yom ha Shoah, is the day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews and five million others who perished in the Holocaust as a result of the actions carried out by Nazi Germany and its accessories, and for the Jewish resistance in that period. It was inaugurated in 1953, anchored by a law signed by the Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi. Join the annual remembrance program with Rabbi Moshe Gourarie of Chabad House, Toms River; Mordechai Grubin, Alumni Representative to the OCC Board of Trustees; and Dr. Ali Botein-Furrevig, OCC Associate Professor of English and Director of the Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education. May 3 - A Survivor’s Odyssey and Legacy: Lecture Hall, Room 104, Gateway, 12:30 p.m. This year’s keynote speaker is Manny Lindenbaum. In October 1938, the Lindenbaum family was part of a mass deportation from Germany to Poland with one day’s notice because, although German citizens, they were of Polish descent. In 1939, just days before the Nazi invasion, Manny and his brother escaped from Poland to England as refugees on the famous Kindertransport. In 2014, at the age of 83, Manny retraced his refugee journey backwards, from Poland to Germany, on a bicycle. He made the journey, along with his grandchildren, to raise money for HIAS programs in Chad in honor of World Refugee Day. In 2015, Manny was invited to speak at a reception at the White House and, along with his granddaughter Lauren, participated in the lighting of the Hanukkah menorah alongside President and Mrs. Obama. Manny uses his experiences to be an advocate and voice for refugees worldwide and to speak to audiences, especially children, on the dangers of bullying and hate: “I believe that when we stand by and listen as others are put down, we become part of the problem; when we speak out against hatred we become part of the solution.” May 4 - Two Women, Two Scars: Room 203, Bartlett Hall, 8 a.m. A film viewing and discussion of “Inheritance”, the award-winning PBS documentary chronicling the 1994 meeting in Poland between Monica Hertwig, daughter of Nazi commandant Amon Goeth and Monmouth County resident Helen Jonas Rosenzsweig who lived enslaved under Goeth’s roof as his servant and prey for nearly two years during the Holocaust. This is the story of two women whose sorrows and angers intersect in the haunting memory of one man. Discussion and Q&A led by Botein-Furrevig. May 5 - Only a Number: A True Story of
the Struggle to Survive, to Love, and to Remember: Room 203, Bartlett Hall, 12:30 p.m. Hamilton filmmaker Steven Besserman tells the story of his mother, Aranka, a Holocaust survivor, through her own words. Aranka grew up in Hungary during WWII and relates the horrors she witnessed and endured at the hands of the Nazis. Besserman visits the sites where his parents grew up, the camp where they first met, and he discusses the lasting impact the Holocaust had on victims and later generations. The film is not only a true documentary but a love story: Aranka and Josef met in a concentration camp separated by a barbed wire fence, without the aid of a common language, and ravaged by torture, starvation, and brutality. They fell in love and gave each other the strength to survive their final weeks of captivity. The story tells one of millions of stories of Jews who were “only a number” to the Nazis. Discussion and Q&A led by Botein-Furrevig. May 6 - From Communism to Camps to America: My Mother’s Story: Lecture Hall, Room 104, Gateway, 12:30 p.m. Lecture by Dr. Amy Gilley, OCC Dean of School of Arts & Humanities. Towards the end of WWII, many refugees fleeing communist regimes in the Baltic region found themselves in Nazi occupied Germany where they were forced to work in factories alongside camp inmates. When the camps were liberated, these non-German refugees were considered displaced persons. Dr. Gilley’s talk focuses on her mother’s experiences, fleeing Estonia in 1944, spending the remainder of the war in Germany, before eventually, finding her way to America. Says Gilley: “My mother’s story goes beyond survival; her experiences gave me valuable lessons and insights into the depths and the heights of humanity. Genocide and war and tyranny never seem to end, but the human faces are often forgotten.” May 6 - Nazi Propoganda & the Holocaust: Lecture Hall, Room 104, Gateway, 2 p.m. Ernie Arian, OCC graduate and former intern for OCC’s Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education, is currently at Rutgers University majoring in History & Genocide Studies. Using lecture and film, this presentation will cover how, following the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, Hitler established a Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda headed by Joseph Goebbels. The Ministry’s aim was to ensure that the Nazi message was successfully communicated through art, music, theater, films, books, radio, educational materials, and the press. There were several audiences for Nazi propaganda. Germans were reminded of the struggle against foreign enemies and Jewish subversion. During periods preceding legislation or executive measures against Jews, propaganda campaigns created an atmosphere tolerant of violence against Jews. For more information, contact Dr. Ali Botein-Furrevig, OCC Associate Professor of English, and Director of the Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education at 732-255-0400, ext. 2368, or abotein-furrevig@ocean.edu.

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 pol-
itics 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 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.

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. 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.

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.

Sister Of WWII Soldier To Receive Medal During Ceremony
– Photo courtesy New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation Neil “Buddy” Lucey was killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor. NEW JERSEY – The New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial will hold a Remembrance Day Ceremony on May 7 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., 1 Memorial Lane, Holmdel, Exit 116 off the Garden State Parkway. Marie Liston, the sister of a WWII Navy Seaman who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor, will accept a medal on her brother’s behalf. Neil Lucey was just 18 years-old when he joined the United States Navy. He reported for duty March 12, 1940. Just 19 months later he would lose his life at Pearl Harbor, two days after his 20th birthday. His body is one of 1,177 entombed in the USS Arizona. Now, 75 years later, Neil’s sister will accept a medal on his behalf during a Remembrance Day ceremony at the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation on May 7. Marie Lucey Liston is 101 and lives in Brick. She was born in 1914 in New York City and is the oldest of five children. Her mother died in childbirth in 1924 and the siblings were sent to live with relatives in Perth Amboy. Their father, Timothy Lucey, worked for the railroad and would visit when he could. The death of Neil, who was nicknamed “Buddy,” was hard on the family. The first communication from the US Navy came on December 20, 1941, and informed the family that Neil was missing in action while the search for survivors at Pearl Harbor continued. The official death notice came on January 30, 1942 when it was determined that Neil had been one of those lost on the USS Arizona on December 7, 1941 after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. He was awarded a Purple Heart posthu-
mously for his valiant service as a Seaman First Class with the Navy. Neil was the first person killed in action from Perth Amboy in WWII. The city dedicated a park in his name and the park was renovated and rededicated in 2000. Gordon Pingicer is on the board of the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation, and is Marie’s son-in-law. “This medal means so much to the family,” Pingicer said. “Just the recognition that New Jersey gives to people who served is very significant.” Remembrance Day was created by legislation in 1991 as a day in New Jersey to honor those who served in the military during the Vietnam War from 1959 to 1975. More than 200,000 New Jersey residents served in the armed forces during that time. Visit njvvmf.org for more information.

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
By Joel Markel
mourning is not healthy 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. His radio show, “Preferred Company” airs on Monday through Friday from 8 to 10 a.m. on preferredradio.com.

The Interaction Between Workers’ Compensation And A State Disability Pension By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Stacie A. Brustman, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates As you may be aware, if you are injured while working, as a result of an occupational exposure, or a specific traumatic event, you are statutorily permitted to file for workers’ compensation benefits. In addition, if you are in a position that you are involved in the State pension system, you may be entitled to an accidental or ordinary disability pension. Generally, if you are involved in a traumatic event at work that ultimately deems you unable to perform your duties any longer, you may be entitled to an accidental disability pension. There is no minimal time of employment to be eligible for this pension. The jurisdiction as to whether you are disabled from your job duties as a result of the traumatic event rests with the Division of Pensions. However, the accidental disability pension may entitle you to in excess of 70 percent of your wages and family health benefits. However, if you are approved for an accidental disability pension, there is a direct dollar for dollar offset for any workers’ compensation benefits you receive. This is to say, you may still file for workers’ compensation benefits, and may be entitled to benefits pursuant to same, but your pension benefits will be reduced by any recovery made. This, in fact, does not decrease your financial benefits, but merely may change from whom the money is received. However, the law is different when a person involved in the State pension system is approved for an ordinary disability pension and that person also has an injury with permanent
residuals in the course of his or her employment. In most cases, in order to be considered for an ordinary disability pension, you will have had to be in the State pension system for 10 years. This also may only provide a pension benefit of approximately 43 percent of your salary. As in the accidental disability pension, the decision as to whether you are disabled from your job duties rests with the Division of Pensions. In New Jersey, there is a long standing public policy against double recoveries for the same injuries. In New Jersey, an injured employee may receive an ordinary disability pension and workers’ compensation benefits. However, the workers’ compensation benefits may be subject to a dollar for dollar offset for pension benefits. However, an ordinary disability pension is generally not the result of one traumatic event that deems the worker unable to perform his or her duties, but generally is the result of numerous and varied disabilities that may or may not be work related, or related to the workers’ compensation injury. As such, there only exists an offset for those injuries incorporated in the approval of the disability pension and are specifically involved in the claim for workers’ compensation. In converse, the disabilities unrelated to workers’ compensation then are not included in the calculation of the offset. As you can see, your choice as to whether to pursue workers’ compensation benefits when eligible for either disability pension is a difficult and law sensitive decision that should be reviewed with an attorney in depth.

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 offered, 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.

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! EGG WHITE OMELET WITH FARMERS’ MARKET VEGETABLES Serves 1 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 large cultivated mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced 1 spear asparagus, trimmed, cut diagonally into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick
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 the handle f rom under neath. With you r f ree hand, hold a plate almost vertically near the skillet. Tilt the skillet and move the plate underneath to roll the omelet onto the plate. Arrange the remaining spinach and tomato around the omelet, garnish with parsley and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
