By Jennifer Peacock MANCHESTER – The threat of litigation loomed over discussions at the township council and planning board meetings, for a redevelopment plan of the massive tract known as Heritage Minerals, which could add thousands of homes to a portion of the former mining site in the Pine Barrens. If a lawsuit is to be filed, file it before June 6, said Manchester Planning Board Attorney Edward Liston, addressing a 21-page letter sent from those opposing the plan. In opposition is the Pinelands Preservation Alliance, represented by attorney Paul Leodori. The PPA and others interested in discussing the plan, which could create a town center for Manchester off Route 37, came out to a special planning board meeting May 20 to hear the redevelopment plan on the tract, which stretches from Route 37, west to Whiting, to the border of Berkeley and Lakehurst – an area nearly twice the size of the Pine Lake Park neighborhood. The Planning Board was to have discussed and approved the redevelopment plan called “Manchester Heritage Town Center Redevelopment Plan,” sending its report to the (Opposition - See Page 7)

In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the auditorium. There will be a more than 100 students participating in the choir, orchestra and student readings. The community is invited to attend this ceremony. The hope is that the Stafford community, as well as the student body, will begin the holiday weekend fully realizing the purpose behind the holiday. The flags will remain in place through the holiday weekend, often drawing crowds who walk among the rows or read the inscriptions from the wreath-laying ceremony or the school’s message board, to reflect as part of Memorial Day.

township council in order for Council to move forward with approving the plan. In front of packed audience that Friday night, on the advice of Liston, the Planning Board tabled the discussion to its June 6 meeting. “It’s my recommendation that because of the threat of litigation, and because of the lateness of the notice of litigation, so as to not give this Board or its attorney an opportunity to review what I consider to be a threat without much law to back it up, it is my recommendation that this matter be carried until our June 6 meeting, and without further public notice,” Liston said. The audience erupted when Liston said there would be no further public notice. “Your attorney, Mr. Leodori, threatened litigation against this board and these volunteers, he’s seeking to sue them personally. These people are volunteers, they’re not paid to be here,” Liston said. The letter arrived late Friday afternoon during a family graduation party. “So no, there will be no public comment, there will be no hearing, and we will decide June 6 whether to move forward or not.” Council was to have had its second reading and final approval of the redevelopment plan at its May 23 meeting, but had to table the ordinance. Mayor Kenneth Palmer spoke at the May 23 Council meeting to another packed house. A working group he formed last year with various officials and Hovsons met frequently over the last year and finally reached a tentative plan, outlined in the redevelopment plan. While the plan calls for 6,543 homes, Palmer
The Manchester Times, May 28, 2016, Page 7 said that number will likely not meet with county or state approval. But, he said, he wants to move forward with the plans to see what can be approved. He said the 2003 settlement often cited by the PPA can be amended if all parties involved agree to the changes. While Hovsons can go ahead and build the proposed 2,400 age-restricted homes, adding more senior communities won’t help the bottom line, and will cause the school district to lose the little bit of state aid it gets now, he said. Theresa Lettman, PPA’s Director for monitoring programs, spoke with The Manchester Times before the special planning board meeting, and said the plan has grown from what was previously agreed, opening up the potential to destroy sensitive habitat and local water supply. “PPA is opposed to the redevelopment plan and any zoning changes that would be adopted with ordinance...The redevelopment plan greatly expands what the developer, Manchester, and the state agencies agreed to and adopted through regulations and zoning changes,” Lettman said. “The new redevelopment plan violates Coastal and Pinelands regulations because it calls for developing land that is protected from development.” She added that such development would destroy rare species habitats and degrade water quality. “PPA feels the redevelopment plan is not realistic and has been artificially manipulated to make it look like the town’s taxpayers won’t be hit with big increases to provide all the service this huge development would actually require,” she said. But during his comments at Council, Palmer said any building would take place in phases,
and would only be built and continued to be built if they could sustain themselves and there be a net-positive benefit to the entire township. Councilman Samuel Fusaro, who sits on the Hovsons redevelopment committee, also spoke with The Manchester Times prior to Friday’s special meeting. He echoed Palmer’s thoughts that the development had to be economically favorable to the township. Running the numbers was independent financial analyst Richard Reading, who found the development was self-sufficient and provided a positive cash flow for the town. He wants to see commercial development in town that can help ease the tax burden on residents. And the final requirement for the redevelopment plan, he said, was to create a town center,
“that would actually pull together the Whiting with the eastern portion of the town. The Heritage Mineral site essentially cut the town in half, and the State Highways and building restrictions made it nearly impossible to establish something with a concentrated downtown were residents could do their shopping and other business without having to jump in their cars for everything.” But some residents balked at such development, saying they moved to Manchester for its rural atmosphere. Leordori’s letter states the PPA may file action in the New Jersey Superior Court and the United States District Court of the District of New Jersey to enforce the original 2003 order. The Planning Board will meet at 7 p.m. on June 6 in town hall, Colonial Drive.

Editorial Remember What Memorial Day Is Really About Each passing year, holidays get more and more commercial. And it seems Memorial Day has become one of them. Stores try to one-up each other and offer the best deals in order to bring in the customers. And it works. Most of us can admit to searching the sales fliers, comparing prices of hamburgers and hotdogs, and all of the other “essential” items for our annual get-together to kick off the summer season. After we return home from our trip to the supermarket, we have to begin preparing. There are so many things on the to-do list. Clean the house, mow the lawn, open the pool, decorate, and finally, we must don our aprons and get to work on the tasty barbeque fare that will blanket our counters and tables. With all the planning and shopping, and of course, the celebrating, it’s fairly easy to forget why we have off from work and why the kids are home from school that day. Well, prepare to be reminded. It’s Memorial Day. A day that was meant to honor the brave members of the United States military who gave their lives for this country. Every day, every hour, every minute, and every second, there are men and women who put their lives on the line. Not only do they keep us from physical harm, they fight to ensure that the rights given to us by our forefathers remain intact. Rights that grant us freedom and rights that sometimes get taken for granted. Freedom certainly is not free. We receive a grim reminder of that fact every time the news reports that the lives of yet more American troops have
been lost. Memorial Day is a special day set aside to give us the opportunity to honor those heroes from our nation’s past and present. This weekend, citizens across the country will have the chance to participate in Memorial Day ceremonies in their own communities. But the reality is, most will not attend. We get preoccupied with the festivities of the weekend. But we need to make it priority. Make time to attend a ceremony. Take a few minutes to step away from the party and reflect. Reserve a seat at the table for a serviceman or woman who was killed in action, a gesture that serves as a constant reminder to party guests that there’s more meaning to the weekend than just celebrating the unofficial start of summer. For some families, though, that void at the table is very personal. That empty spot is an outward expression of the hole in their hearts from the loss of someone they have dearly loved. A father, mother, sister, brother, a friend. In any case, a member of the United States Armed Forces who gave everything for love of country. So this Memorial Day, pay tribute to those who have been killed in the line of duty, to the sons and daughters of America who fought and died for our independence. American troops have and continue to battle on the front lines EVERY DAY to protect our freedom. We need to make it our mission to recognize their sacrifice this ONE DAY. One day. One day a year for the ultimate sacrifices of millions of Americans throughout our country’s history. It’s the very least we can do.

Letters To The Editor Mind The Flagpoles For two to three months now, the huge flagpole at the intersection of Lake and Station Roads in Whiting, the one across from Veterans Park, has been missing something: the huge American flag which once adorned it. It is my sincere hope that, with Memorial Day coming fast and Independence Day not far behind, our beautiful f lag will be f lying again there soon! I’ve been waiting patiently for its replacement, but it really shouldn’t wait much longer because these patriotic holidays demand a rapid resolution. And, such a huge flagpole so prominently displayed looks especially offensive without the flag, itself. Thank you for helping me bring this to the attention of “to whom it may concern.” Chet Jelinski Whiting
Remember Potentials For Lyme Gardening and hiking season is in full swing, which means I have Lyme disease on my mind. May is Lyme Disease Aware-
ness Month, but “Lyme season” depends heavily on the weather and climate. Weather and climate also help restrict most Lyme cases to the Midwest and Northeast. New Jersey is one of just 14 states that accounted for 96 percent of confirmed cases in 2014 (per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). I’ve had the tick-borne illness twice since 2012. Both times, I endured months of mysterious and painful symptoms before I was successfully treated. My doctor counseled me to stay quiet about the disease to avoid bad treatment advice, but I consider my story a public service announcement. That’s because Lyme disease, which already infects tens of thousands of Americans each year, could sicken even more people as our climate changes. An assessment of the latest science about the health impacts of climate change recently was released by 13 federal agencies and departments, and one of its key findings is that rising temperatures and changing seasonal patterns will likely allow Lyme-carrying ticks to march northward and to higher elevations. Also, climate change likely will lead to higher tick survival during the winter and an earlier Lyme disease season. Dr. Rick Ostfeld, a disease ecol-

A History Lesson For Conservatives I take this opportunity to reply to the gentlemen who has cherry-picked history to make his argument in the letter “A History Lesson For Liberals.” Yes, President Carter promoted private home ownership, as social scientists have proven time and again that home ownership results in good neighborhoods when people feel invested in them. Some people will have reversals in fortune, and entire towns and cities are effected when industries downsize, lay-off, close and move away, and these citizens should not be vilified or President Carter blamed for these circumstances. Plans and hopes were made, and in many cases succeeded; it is reckless and dishonest to say it was all a waste of tax dollars. Really, who could say the Edsel, Betamax tapes, and Blockbuster would all fail? President Clinton did not repeal a 1933 banking law – Republican majorities in the House and the Senate fulfilled the wishes of their friends on Wall Street and repealed the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. Yes, President Clinton signed it, and some
Democrats voted for it, but it was the big banks who wanted it repealed, for they wanted the wall removed between their commercial and very risky investment operations, they wanted reduced capitol cash-on-deposit requirements and reduced regulations, and the very notion that President Clinton forced this on them is laughable. No one ever forced a banker, any banker, to do anything they didn’t want to do and make a profit at it. Picture, if you will, a desk at a bank or mortgage loan company: on one side a couple with papers summing up all their financial history and hope, and across from them a loan officer with a multi-million or multi-billion dollar organization behind him. Who do you think has the power to make a loan, good or bad? Too many loans were made on inflated figures of salaries, savings and employment, and is documented that loan officers perpetrated those frauds with the approval of their financial institutions. The banks share much of the responsibility. The writer states President Bush foresaw this problem but was stymied by a Democratic Congress. Republicans controlled Congress from the 1994 elections until the 2006 elections, covering six of his eight years in office. And the writer may be the only one who credits President Bush with foresight; what specific action did he take or propose to head off the great recession, not just stop the bleeding from 2007 onward, when the crisis was upon the nation? If the writer wishes to warn us about short-sighted politicians, include the names Newt Gingrich, Dennis Hastert, Trent Lott and Phil Gramm. If you want foresight, remember Byron Dorgan, Democrat from North Dakota, who stood in the Senate in 1999 and questioned whether we should be repealing a law which had protected the nation from violent financial disruptions. Vote wisely. Michael F. Flynn Manahawkin

Spotlight On Government Correspondence & Commentary From Your Local, County, State & Federal Officials
From The Desk Of The Mayor
- By Manchester Mayor Kenneth T. Palmer
Energy Aggregation
MANCHESTER – About four years ago, Councilman Brendan Weiner brought the concept of “Energy Aggregation” to the council for consideration. After four years of researching the issue and watching the energy markets, Manchester Township has opted to participate in a cooperative agreement with Stafford Township and Lacey Township for an energy aggregation program. Energy aggregation is a state–approved program wherein an individual municipality or combination of several towns can combine their residents into one pool of customers to secure one bulk rate for electricity from a third party electricity supplier at a lower price than the local utility. Basically, it is the same concept as buying in bulk from BJ’s. In this case, we are purchasing electricity from a company other than JCP&L. In the coming months, Gabel & Associates, our designated energy aggre-
gator, will request and receive bids from energy companies that want to supply us with electricity. Manchester Township has given instructions to Gable & Associates not to accept any bid that is not at least 10 percent lower than the cost of electricity per unit with JCP&L. If we cannot secure a bid with those specifications, we will not proceed. Assuming we receive a favorable bid, Manchester Township will move forward. What does that mean for residents? The short answer is a lower electricity bill. Procedurally, all of our residents are deemed to be “opted in” the program. Residents will be receiving a notification of the programs commencement and be given an opportunity to “opt out” of the program.

OCEAN COUNTY – An energy audit on half a dozen buildings owned and maintained by Ocean County government outlines energy upgrades that could help save almost $1 million annually in energy costs. “This audit is very important to us as we look at ways to reduce costs and improve our energy efficiency,” said Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Buildings and Grounds. “This audit comes with a number of beneficial suggestions that we will be considering for implementation.” The energy audit was undertaken by Ocean County through a program administered by the state Board of Public Utilities. “This is the result of an exhaustive examination of six facilities that receive a lot of traffic both from the public and with our employees,” Vicari said. “That is why they were chosen for this initial review.” The six facilities include the Ocean County Courthouse, the Ocean County Administration Building, the Ocean County Jail, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, the Ocean County Justice Complex and the parking garage all in downtown
Toms River. “These facilities total 1,022,775 square feet,” Vicari said. “They produce an annual energy bill of $2.3 million,” Vicari said. “A proposed $955,000 reduction is a substantial decrease in our energy bills.” Once the audit is approved by the BPU’s Office of Clean Energy, the county can move forward with the recommended cost effective “self-funding” energy efficiency measures and facility upgrades that are designed to reduce operating expenses, save energy and reduce emissions. “The improvements include upgrades to the lighting systems, automated controls for lighting, upgrades to existing heating and air conditioning systems and some building improvements,” Vicari said. “This audit is another step in the county’s ongoing efforts to conserve energy and to reap the benefits of renewable energy savings.” A combination of different recommendations was made for each building reviewed. For instance, the Ocean County Courthouse had the highest number – eight recommendations – including installation
their current energy provider at their stated rate. If residents do not send in the post card, they will be included in the energy aggregation program. The benefit of the program is a reduced rate for the energy that residents use. For those who are a part of the energy aggregation program, JCP&L will continue to service your home. JCP&L will just deliver a different company’s electricity. Also, those residents with solar panels will not be included in the program. Residents already enrolled in a ‘third party’ energy program will not automatically be enrolled in the township program. Electricity bills are broken down into two sections, energy usage and service. This program is designed to reduce the costs incurred on the energy usage portion of the bill. Residents will continue to receive a JCP&L bill each month and pay JCP&L for the entire bill. At our council meetings,
where the concept has been discussed on various occasions, there have been some legitimate criticisms of the program. One concern is the effect of the fluctuating prices of energy. What if the third party supplier’s rate changes and exceeds JCP&L’s rate? Considering a number of residents got burned by third party suppliers in the past with variable rate programs, this is a legitimate concern. However, unlike the private third party supplier programs that enticed residents with a low introductory rate and thereafter raised rates over the course of the contract period, this program locks in the third party rate over the course of the contract period. Additionally, if the third party contract rate ever exceeds JCP&L’s rate, residents will be given the opportunity to “opt out” of the program at that point. Plus, with only a 14 month contract period and the various energy indexes that are
used to set JCP&L’s pricing, it is very unlikely that we will be in a position where our 10 percent savings is eliminated. The most serious criticism centers on the role of government and its overreach into the public’s daily lives. I fully understand and respect this position. However, I believe the program’s merits outweigh the intrusion. When I consider the number of seniors the township has living on fixed incomes that have electricity heating their homes, powering their lights and warming their water, I understand that saving 10 percent on their electric bill matters. Compared to the financial burden these senior residents face, the burden the resident who wants to “opt out” faces is light; they just need to complete and return mail a post card. I believe it is my obligation to try the program and help residents save money. When I was campaigning for this position two years ago, I
Energy Audit Highlights Savings For Ocean County of LED lights, installation of an energy management system that would control the heating and air conditioning temperatures, replacement of the boiler, chiller and air handling units, variable frequency drive controls for the cooling tower to increase efficiency, installation of a fan cooling unit controller and upgrading the domestic hot water heater. Under the program, Vicari said, costs for the improvements would be offset by incentives from the state which could total up to $502,000. And, he said, the money saved on energy could be reallocated to pay for additional energy upgrades. The audit’s recommendations could reap a self-funding potential of $19.3 million and a reserve for modifications and future projects of up to $4 million. “The audit listed at least five energy upgrade suggestions for the majority of the buildings reviewed,” Vicari said. Michael Fiure, director of the Ocean County Office of Management and Budget, said the BPU’s Clean Energy Program promotes increased energy efficiency and the use of clean, renewable sources of energy.
“We began this process in late 2014 to participate in the Local Government Energy Audit to identify cost-justified efficiency measures,” he said. “This audit will provide the Board of Freeholders with various energy alternatives that we can implement.” “I applaud Freeholder Vicari for overseeing this energy audit,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, director of Law and Public Safety. “As we look at our future building needs, this information will be a help
in making certain decisions on our energy needs allowing us to meet environmental standards and our desire to be affordable.” Over the course of several months, representatives from DCO Energy, Lawrenceville, visited each county location noted in the audit and did a complete review of the buildings. “They looked at electric and natural gas usage, building architectural and engineering drawings, lighting systems, heating and air conditioning
Mayor Kenneth T. Palmer came across two sisters who lived together in one of the Crestwood villages. After kindly listening to my campaign pitch, one of the sisters said to me “That’s nice, but what are you really going to do for us? We live on fixed incomes and during the winter, my sister and I sleep in the same room and only use the kitchen of our home so we can save on our electric bill. We cannot afford to heat the entire house.” I believe this energy aggregation program presents an opportunity to help those two sisters, and all of our residents, save some money. A couple of our neighboring towns have experimented with the program, found it successful and re-enrolled.
equipment and controls, roofs, windows, doorways, occupancy schedules and maintenance practices,” Vicari said. Vicari said the county will review all measures presented for each facility along with funding opportunities made available by the New Jersey Clean Energy Program. Vicari noted the county maintains about 135 buildings that house government services and programs. “This audit is an important first step,” he said.

Dr. Frank Watson, co-author of “The Ghost of Duffy’s Cut,” visited Mrs. LaPorte and Mrs. Morgan’s science classes to demonstrate how science is influencing the archaeological work he is conducting at Duffy’s Cut. Duffy’s Cut is a mass grave of 57 Irishmen and one woman who immigrated to America to seek a better life and ended up murdered as suspected carriers of cholera. Their mass grave is
located near the Amtrak line that runs near Philadelphia. Watson impressed the classes with artifacts that he has uncovered at the dig site including glass buttons, pipes and nails. He has traveled to Ireland to bring closure to relatives of some the Irishmen they have been able to identify. The Rev. Dr. Watson is the pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Whiting.

Holy Redeemer Hospice Earns Honors
OCEAN COUNTY – Holy Redeemer Hospice has been named a 2016 Hospice Honors recipient in recognition of providing the highest level of quality from the patient and caregiver’s point of view. The award is based upon Holy Redeemer’s performance on 24 quality indicator measures, which were analyzed by the award sponsor, Deyta Analytics. Holy Redeemer Hospice serves families in Cape May, Atlantic and Ocean counties. “Hospice Honors is a landmark compilation of hospices that provide the best patient and
caregiver experiences,” said Bobby Robertson, president of HEALTHCAREfirst and Deyta Analytics. “I am extremely proud of Holy Redeemer Hospice for achieving this highest of honors and I congratulate them for their success.” Award criteria was based on Hospice CAHPS survey results for an evaluation period of April through September of last year. Award recipients were identified by evaluating hospices’ performance on a set of quality measures and comparing them with a national database of hospices.

More than 36 million American adults report that they have hearing loss. Although many people assume hearing loss only affects those around retirement age, about two-thirds of all cases of hearing loss occur in people under the age of 65. So how can hearing aids benefit the entire age spectrum, children, teens, the American workforce, and retirees? Let’s take a look at some rather revealing data regarding hearing loss and hearing aids. In children and teens: At least 1.8 million U.S. children have trouble hearing. Nearly 1.5 million are school age. Nine of every 10 children born deaf are born to parents who can hear normally. In-utero ear infections can lead to deafness. Three continuous months of ear infections can lead to deafness. Children exposed to secondhand smoke have twice the risk of hearing loss. One in five teens now suffers from at least a mild hearing loss due to excessive volume when using iPods and other listening devices. In the American workforce: About 26 million Americans between the prime employment ages of 20 and 69 have high-frequency hearing loss. One in four workers exposed to high levels of noise experience hearing loss later in life. Those with untreated hearing loss lose about $30,000 a year due to underemployment. Police, firefighters, factory workers, farmers, construction workers, musicians,
heavy-industry workers, the military and professional hunters are at the highest risk of experiencing hearing loss. In retirees: About 30 percent of adults ages 65 to 74 have hearing loss. About 47 percent of adults over the age of 75 have hearing loss. Hearing loss in retirees leads to more hospitalization and poorer health overall. Dementia, depression and brain shrinkage are all strongly correlated to untreated hearing loss, which is likely partially responsible for those diseases occurring. Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are also associated with untreated hearing loss. Fortunately, hearing aids are a huge benefit to 90 percent of those with hearing loss, regardless of age group or severity. For those with mild hearing loss, hearing aids greatly reduce or eliminate the risk of income loss, and people with hearing aids are nearly twice as likely to be employed as those with untreated hearing loss or those who simply don’t wear their hearing aids. If you want to make sure you’re getting all you can out of your current set, bring them in and we’ll take a look at how the technology is working for you. And if you decide there’s an upgrade option that you’d like to pursue, we’ll give you $500 toward any new set of AGX Hearing aids.

Here’s To Your Health Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
How to Calm Down Quickly
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
It’s natural to get stressed out, or go into a state of mild shock if you hear bad news. Maybe you get sweaty palms a lot, or slip into panic attacks frequently (and over nothing serious). If you’re prone to anxiety, today’s article is intended to offer you help before you take prescriptions. Millions of prescriptions are written annually for anxiolytic drugs like alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin) and lorazepam (Ativan). These drugs are all in the category of benzodiazepines, and they have severe withdrawal symptoms. I bet some of you suffer on a daily basis because you don’t want to get on a benzodiazepine. Now I’m going to offer you five ways to calm down quickly: Breathe – You might think this is silly to lis,t but it’s number one on my list. When you are anxious, your breathing becomes shallow. Be conscious about breathing and make sure you inhale longer than you exhale during times of stress. The inhalation is a gift to yourself, hold it a second or two, then exhale. Do it five times, preferably with your eyes closed since that instantly puts you into an alpha brain wave state. Lavender – They make pure lavender roll-ons, and if you can’t find that just keep a tiny bottle of the essential oil nearby, or in your purse. Take a whiff and put some on your wrists and temples for immediate action. You can use this to sleep too. And you can find commercial preparations of lavender tea as well. Rescue Remedy – Rescue Remedy is
a combination of five flower extracts including Star of Bethlehem, which is known to help with trauma and shock. You can carry the tiny bottle in your purse and put drops in your mouth (or in your water bottle) all day long if you want. California Poppy Extract – It’s a great herbal anxiolytic, and sometimes also used for kids with Attention Deficit, or bedwetting problems. You can buy it in dropper form at any health food store and online. One of the active compounds is Eschscholzia californica, which has been shown to promote higher catecholamines in the brain, thus a happier mood over time. Some can make you sleepy. Magnesium – This is a natural mineral abundant in leafy greens and edible seaweeds. Numerous studies show a correlation to low magnesium and depression and/or anxiety. It works pretty quickly, especially the magnesium “threonate” form which has been clinically shown to penetrate brain tissue quickly. A double-blind placebo-controlled study tested women with PMS-induced anxiety, mood swings and nervous tension. The researchers combined 200 mg of magnesium with 50mg of vitamin B6 and gave it to the women for one month. It helped some of the women, but not all. I have a few other options, however I am out of space here. Sign up for my newsletter at my site (suzycohen.com) and I will email a longer version of this. Please make sure your physician approves of any supplements you want to try.

Dear Joel
By Joel Markel
She Don’t Want To Pay For It Dear Joel, My wife has an awful habit which really irks me. When we go out to casual (and sometimes expensive) restaurants, she puts everything that she can into her pocketbook. Our kitchen cabinets have more packets of sugar and sugar substitutes than a supermarket shelf. No matter how much I tell her not to, she keeps on doing it. Answer: Although it doesn’t sound that way, your wife may be a kleptomaniac. I am not a mental health expert, and even if I was I couldn’t offer a diagnosis from your short letter. Although this isn’t a guarantee, I believe that you have more control over this story than you think. You can tell her that if she continues this behavior you will not go out to eat with
her. If you see her put these items into her pocketbook simply walk away and don’t pay for her meal. You can set the record straight by not going into a restaurant with her. My guess is if you hold out she will start listening. There is something psychological about her behavior, but once again you are only giving me a glimpse in your letter. By continuing to join her at meals outside, I see you as enabling the behavior. You may have to dine alone if it really bothers you until she stops. Hopefully she will change when you do.

R.C. Shea & Assoc. Inside The Law
Robert C. Shea Esq. Christopher R. Shea Esq.
Homebuilder Beware By Robert C. Shea, Esq. & Christopher R. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates Any homeowner looking to build or modify a home should note that a new trend in New Jersey law now holds property owners liable for workplace injuries where the injury occurred on site, and the property owner assumed responsibilities nor mally reser ved for a general contractor. This trend was solidif ied by the New Jersey Appellate Division case of Costa v. Gaccione, 408 N.J. Super. 362 (App. Div. 2009) where the Appellate Court held that since there was evidence to demonstrate a property owner on a construction project where Plaintiff was injured acted as the de facto general contractor, a genuine issues of material fact existed to warrant a trial on the property owner’s liability for the Plaintiff’s injuries. In Costa, an employee of a framing subcontractor fell and sustained serious injury when climbing makeshift scaffolding used on the construction project. The employee claimed that the property owner, Salvatore Gaccione (“Gaccione”), acted as the project general contractor, and that Gaccione’s failure to ensure worksite safety constituted negligence and a violation of OSHA. Regarding Gaccione’s role as the general contractor, the employee demonstrated that Gaccione obtained building permits as the project owner, but indicated on the permit form that he considered himself the “person responsible for the work.” In addition, Gaccione performed many of the general contractor functions on
the project, such as hiring an architect and various subcontractors, scheduling subcontractors’ work and purchasing building materials. Gaccione also frequented the jobsite, oversaw the work and performed some managerial tasks. Nevertheless, the trial court granted Gaccione’s motion for summary judgment dismissing all claims against him. The trial court held that Gaccione did not have a duty to ascertain whether the scaffolding posed a risk of injury and, instead, was entitled to rely on the subcontractor to oversee its employee’s work. The employee then appealed to the Appellate Division. On appeal, the Appellate Division reversed the trial court’s holding, and found the facts of the case established that the homeowner had acted as the de facto contractor. Significantly, the homeowner visited the site daily, oversaw operations, purchased materials requested by builders and actively discussed building plans with workers that he hired. The Appellate Division concluded that this evidence was sufficient to create genuine issues of material facts and ordered a trial to determine the issue of damages. The important lesson to be learned from the Costa case for perspective homebuilders is that taking on the responsibilities nor mally assumed of a general contractor, even in the absence of the official designation of such, may give rise to a duty of care to ensure worksite safety and expose you to liability.

SEAPORT CLEANS UP AFTER SPRINKLER DAMAGE, FUNDS NEEDED
By Catherine Galioto TUCKERTON – The Tuckerton Seaport has launched a fundraising campaign after a fire suppression sprinkler went off in its visitor center, creating widespread damage. All three floors of the visitor center saw a significant amount of water damage, according to the Seaport, but operations have been relocated to the Hunting Shanty, with tours going on as scheduled. A sprinkler was activated for an unknown reason on the top floor of the Visitor Center at 12:58 a.m. May 3, with police alerting the seaport. As a result, the Visitor Center including the gift shop, offices, Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve Exhibit, Wildside Exhibit, and electrical room saw water damage estimated at more than a hundred thousand dollars. Mitigation began thereafter but officials said its insurance company is processing the claim, with an estimated shortfall of $10,000 for the insurance deductible and immediate expenses to be met.
To raise funds, the seaport is seeking donations through its website, tuckertonseaport.org. The pop-up Gift Shop, Office, and entryway have been relocated to the Hunting Shanty. In a post to its subscribers, the seaport assured visitors the museum would be in operation although much of its main building was in repair: “All events and school tours will continue as scheduled, but we need your help to make it through this emergency period to meet immediate expenses.” The Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve had to dismantle its exhibit, called Life on the Edge, and some pieces were destroyed from the water damage, closing the exhibit until further notice, the group reported. On May 11, the Seaport shared some photos of the ongoing effort to clean-up after the damage, showing the emptied floors and removed insulation, of walls down to the studs.
–Photo courtesy Tuckerton Seaport The Tuckerton Seaport requires extensive repairs after damage from a fire suppres‑ sion sprinkler system that turned on May 3. In the meantime, operations are taking place out of the Hunting Shanty.
Free Document Shredding Program Underway
OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County residents can take advantage of securely disposing personal papers and documents through the county’s free Residential Document Shredding program. “In 2015, a total of 94 tons or 188,000 pounds of documents were collected and shredded during our collection dates,” said Freeholder Gerry P. Little, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management. “Ocean County is a large county and we make every effort to make this program easily accessible to all our citizens,” Little said. “With so much focus on identity theft this program helps to keep personal and important information out of the hands of people who may use it for the wrong reasons.”
O C E A N COU N T Y – T he O c e a n County Parks and Recreation Newsletter has been published. The seasonal newsletter is a schedule of the events
“This program was first started in 2008 and has grown in popularity with our residents,” said Freeholder Director John P. Kelly, who also serves as director of Law and Public Safety. “This Board of Freeholders is pleased to provide this service which, in addition to the environmental benefit, is an extra layer of security for our citizens.” The work is being performed by Autoshred of Toms River. Residents are not required to register for this free program and can bring six boxes or bags each day. The program is for all paper documents and paper forms. Paperclips and staples do not have to be removed. Little noted the shredding unit features an automatic feeding and dumping system, which eliminates the need for human contact with a resident’s documents. Events will run their complete scheduled time or until the truck
is full. The truck capacity is 8,000 pounds.
The following is a list of dates, times and locations for the Residential Document Shredding Program: June 18, Lavallette Firehouse, 124 Washington Ave., 9 to 11 a.m. June 25, Berkeley Township Recycling Center, 630 Pinewald Keswick Road, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 9, Tuckerton Recycling Center, 445 South Green St., 9 to 11 a.m. July 15, Lakewood Public Works Yard, 1 America Ave., 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 30, Lacey Township Recycling Center, 820 Municipal Lane, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. August 5, Toms River Township, Riverwood Park, 250 Riverwood Drive, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. August 20, Lakehurst Public Works Yard,

Crime Unit Gives Ransomware Warning
OCEAN COUNTY – The Ocean County Prosecutor High Tech Crime Unit recently warned county residents of malicious Ransomware computer programs circulating the county designed to hold computer files hostage until a ransom is paid to unscrupulous cyber criminals. Known as Ransomware, this scam has been reported in over twenty countries in Europe and has been circulating regularly in the United States infecting computers. The malicious software can be installed from a website the user has visited, from an email, instant message or a message on a social network that the user receives. When Ransomware infects a computer, it will cause the computer to lock up. At times, Ransomware will create a pop-up window or a webpage warning which advises the user that they have been engaged in some type of illegal activity on the internet. The computer system is then rendered unusable until the Ransomware is removed. The message from the cyber-criminal advises the user that once the fine is paid the machine will be unlocked or the user will be sent a code to unlock the machine. There is no known “cure” or way to re-

verse the latest variant of “Ransomware” once a computer is infected. Unless the victim has a back-up of the files on a secondary storage device they will not be able to recover the files. Although anti-virus companies are working to prevent this type of activity, unfortunately computer criminals are always updating their tactics and inventing ways to circumvent the computer
industry’s anti-virus programs. Consumers can avoid being a victim of Ransomware by keeping all security software on the computer up to date, keeping the firewall turned on, not opening spam email messages or links to suspicious websites and most importantly, by backing up all important files to a secondary storage device. The Ocean County Prosecutor advises
citizens that they should not send any money in response to this type of activity. Any questions about Ransomware can be reported to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, High Tech Crimes Unit at 732-929-2027. For further tips on how to avoid computer scams, call the Ocean County Department of Consumer Affairs at 732-929-2105.

Health Department’s Tips To Prevent Osteoporosis
OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gerry P. Little, liaison to the Ocean County Board of Health, said, “Osteoporosis and the broken bones it can cause are not part of normal aging. There is a lot you can do to protect your bones throughout your life. You’re never too young or too old to improve the health of your bones. Osteoporosis prevention should begin in childhood. But it shouldn’t stop there. Whatever your age, the habits you adopt now can affect your bone health for the rest of your life. Now is the time to take action as we recognize May as National Osteoporosis Month.” There are two types of exercises that are important for building and maintaining bone density: weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises. Learn about each type of exercise and how to incorporate both into exercise routines. The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) offers these five tips to Break Free from Osteoporosis: 1. Get to know the risk factors: Many factors play a role in a person’s risk for osteoporosis, including age, gender, lifestyle, medical history, family history and whether
they take any medication or have medical conditions that can lead to bone loss. 2. Get active: Doing regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercise is one of the best ways to protect oneself against osteoporosis and broken bones. 3. Eat Your Way to Healthy Bones: Calcium, vitamin D, lean protein, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats are the key to eating for healthy bones. 4. Ask a healthcare provider when to get a bone density test: The painless, ten minute test will help predict someone’s risk of breaking a bone. 5. Don’t smoke and don’t drink too much alcohol: No more than two drinks a day is best for bone health.

Business Profile
SUPERIOR UPHOLSTERY Bringing unique creations to life every day!
What comes to mind when you think of “upholstery”? Most people assume it entails nothing more than throwing fabric over a couch. These people have obviously been misinformed! Tom White, owner and operator of Superior Upholstery in Toms River, is the very definition of a craftsman, delivering works of art to his loyal customers every day. Tom always had a passion for creating beautiful things out of limited resources. At a very young age, he found himself to possess a natural eye for balance and symmetry, two key aspects to the trade. At the age of 14, these attributes were recognized by Master Craftsman John Jacopec, who was a ver y dear friend. John took Tom under his wing and introduced him to the trade. Playing on his strengths and his desire
to learn everything there is to know, John ap prenticed him and over time, Tom discovered that he had found not only a livelihood, but a passion… a calling to create what has not yet been created. So how does an upholstery craftsman apply these gifts to the real world, to real customers, to you? He takes the
temporar y to antique, Superior Upholstery can revitalize any piece that you feel is in need of improvement and make it a prominent display of art in your home. Even if you have something that looks great now, take it to Tom and he will provide you with a new perspective the moment you arrive at his store. With these gifts, Tom is able to show his customers that any room of your h o m e c an be brightened with the right furniture upgrades. He will show you that upholstery is more than just “ fabric covering:” it ’s about design, quality and capturing your vision into a masterpiece. Even better, if you just have an idea of what you want but no piece of furniture to start with, Tom and his team will work with you to build that special piece and make your dreams come true.
When the task seems impossible, I don’t give up until it is perfect! - Tom White, owner
BEFORE
physical item in front of you (be it a chair, a couch, whatever) and fuses it with the unique image in your mind of what you want it to become. He takes into consideration functionality and needs when choosing fabrics, opting for the ones that will work best for your purpose, taste and lifestyle. From con-
AFTER
When you walk into Superior Upholstery, you are not walking into a bigbox furniture store that cannot bend from the status-quo. Tom’s skill of applying superior materials and unprecedented craftsmanship will add value to your furniture rather than the typical depreciation that buyers experience with previous purchases. It’s not about the purchase price with Superior Upholstery: it’s about excellence and meeting the customer’s needs. All projects are unique, meaning no one will ever walk into your h o m e a n d s ay, “ O h, I’ve seen that before.” Tom never creates the same object twice, giving comfort to the customer that they are treated as unique and with top priority when these services are performed. Countless services are offered at Superior Upholstery that you may not expect. In addition to custom furniture and covering, solutions for many other parts of your
home are options as well. Superior is your one-stop answer for all slipcovers, window treatments, drapes, valences, blinds and shutters. Free consultation and design help are always provided and they do all the measuring and installing. Pick-up and delivery options are available for any customer in need of this help. In fact, Tom’s customer base spans not only those who are local, but customers as far away as New York (that includes pick-up and delivery)! That just shows the loyalty that customers have to Tom and his business once they’ve come and seen what showpieces he can create! If you are unsure about the solution needed to illuminate a room in your home, come in and see Tom for a free consultation and he will provide knowledge and guidance on what solutions are best for you. At Superior Upholstery, you will find a family-oriented environment, rooted in the strong values and c o nvic t i o ns t hat John Jacopec himself
held in the highest regard. The staff of five, including Toms’ nephew, Michael, work as a true team to provide the highest quality with the friendliest service. All striving toward the same goal of finding functional beauty in unexpected places, each employee har nes ses t heir ow n individual strengths to complement each other and f low seamles sly through each project. It is that combination of talent, experience and proficiency that makes Superior Upholstery the best option for home furnishing upgrades and repairs in Ocean County! Come here first before even thinking about your common furniture or department store and you will not be disappointed! Superior Upholstery is located at 1594 Route 9, Suite 7 in the Victoria Plaza in Toms River. Their phone number is 732-929-0044 or you can email them at Tomw1752@msn.com. The business hours are Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of May 28-June 3 By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Enthusiasm and the ability to stand up for yourself are your best attributes. Even so, you might offend if you forget to say “please” and “thank you.” Focus on being more considerate in the week ahead. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Teach others what you know and learn something from others in the process. In the week ahead you can easily join forces and make progress by sharing knowledge, ideas, and expertise. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Think before you act. You may be challenged to exert your authority in the early part of the week. Ask for advice from family members or wiser souls before you deliver ultimatums. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You value dependability and reliability above all things. Someone close may prove his or her true worth this week. Pursue important goals but remember to be appreciative of loyal partners. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Jumping into action is fine as long as you don’t jump in over your head. You may be challenged to perform physical activities but must remember to measure twice and cut once in the week ahead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know more than you think you do. Your good judgment and sound assessment of circumstances will help you make wise decisions in the week to come. You can see the writing on the wall.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Follow the lead of a model of industry. Discussions with intimate companions can become heated if you assert yourself. A “go-getter” can achieve positive results in the second half of the week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Nail down networking skills. You may open up some new avenues to travel upon and do business in the week to come. Opinions voiced in the outer world may persuade you to take important steps. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your boundless enthusiasm can breathe life into humdrum routines but don’t get carried away. Wait until at least mid-week to start new projects or spend large amounts of money. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are truly quick on the uptake this week, easily absorbing information and making astute observations. File these away for future reference. Maintain perfect manners when dealing with the public. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may change your mind later, so don’t be too eager to jump on the bandwagon. Powerful and ambitious ideas could develop during the week ahead. Sit on your hands until the time is ripe for success. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Follow your first instinct after checking in with your closest friend. You’ll make the right choice when faced with tough decisions in the week ahead if you follow the lead of wiser souls.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen Shape Up! Start The Morning Right With A Healthy, Delicious ‘Green Drink’ By Wolfgang Puck
With Memorial Day, summer’s unofficial start and real summer arriving a few weeks later, shaping up for the coming season’s outdoor activities is on a lot of people’s minds. So you probably wouldn’t be surprised by how often I get requests in my restaurants for “something light.” Of course, there are so many ways our regular menus oblige our guests, with items ranging from fresh vegetable salads (dressing on the side, of course) to grilled fish or skinless chicken to all kinds of desserts featuring wonderful fresh fruit. The bigger challenge for many people, however, concerns not what they eat for lunch or dinner but how they start the day. And, especially at this time of year when morning appetites become lighter as the weather grows warmer, the talk lately seems to be turning to so-called “green drinks.” Green drinks generally feature not only fruits like apples, but also vegetables such as cucumber, celery and, especially, dark-green bitter leaves like kale or spinach (sources of much-prized nutrients like B vitamins and vitamin C). The first secret to creating a morning drink that delivers the benefits of those green ingredients without causing a grimace at the first sip is to combine the leaves in the right proportions with the other healthful vegetables and fruits. I make sure to include enough apple for sweetness (along with a touch of honey sometimes), and even an orange; mild cucumber and celery also go a long way toward creating a more gentle, well-rounded flavor profile. I like to spice things up with some fresh ginger root and even, sometimes, a pinch of cayenne. My other key to success is to use the right equipment. The first recipe, my own version of a green smoothie, depends on a professional-quality highspeed blender, which will help you achieve a perfectly smooth consistency quickly. Or, if you prefer what is sometimes referred to as a green juice “power shot” like those I often serve to guests at big Hollywood parties, you can achieve that powerful essence with the help of a good juice extractor. Both appliances are widely available these days at surprisingly affordable prices. So, as the season of sunshine approaches, try one of these fresh new starts to your day. Here’s to your good health!
WOLFGANG PUCK’S GREEN SMOOTHIE Serves 2 1/2 medium English cucumber, peel left on, cut into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces 1 navel orange, peeled and separated into sections 1 green-skinned apple such as Granny Smith, peel left on, cored and cut into wedges 3-inch (7.5-cm) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and cut into 3 pieces 1 cup (250 mL) almond milk, chilled 1 teaspoon honey 4 large leaves green kale, tough ribs removed, leaves very coarsely chopped 1 pinch cayenne pepper 2 sprigs fresh mint, leaves separated, stems discarded In the container of a professional-quality high-speed blender, combine the cucumber pieces, orange sections, apple wedges, ginger pieces, almond milk and honey. Add the kale leaves, cayenne and mint leaves. Securely place the lid on the blender. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, blend the ingredients until smooth, stopping once or twice if necessary to scrape down the sides of the blender container. Pour the smoothie into two tall chilled glasses. Serve immediately. WOLFGANG’S GREEN JUICE POWER SHOTS Serves 3 6 large leaves green kale, tough ribs removed, leaves very coarsely chopped 4 large stalks celery, leaves trimmed, stalks cut into several pieces each 2 green-skinned apples such as Granny Smith, peel left on, cored and cut into wedges 1 medium English cucumber, trimmed and cut into large chunks 1 cup packed baby spinach leaves 2-inch (5-cm) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into 2 pieces Just before serving, prepare all the ingredients as directed. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, pass all of the ingredients a few pieces at a time through a juice extractor into the extractor’s container or a nonreactive pitcher. With a long spoon, stir the juice mixture well. Serve immediately, pouring the juice into chilled 2-ounce (60-mL) shot glasses.
