Rebuilding Toms River With The Stroke Of The Clerk’s Ink
–Photo by Catherine Toms River Clerk’s Office Other Members of the Joshua Huddy Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution dedicated a grave maker for Revolutionary War patriot David Woodmansee on May 18 at his grave site in Good Luck Cemetery. Woodmansee was Toms River Township’s first municipal clerk. The ceremony included members of the DAR and current Township Clerk J. Mark Mutter. By Catherine Galioto In Toms River’s history, we’ve seen men and women from the township bravely enlist and head toward battle – and so many of them we remember this Memorial Day, those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in defending freedom. But in Toms River’s early history, the battle came here. It was the American Revolution, 1782. What was the village of Toms River was burnt to the ground, all but two buildings destroyed by the British.
With its valuable saltworks and its prime location on the mainland across from the (now-filled-in) Cranberry Inlet, the village of Toms River was attacked in a skirmish that resulted in the capture of Capt. Joshua Huddy. As the Joshua Huddy Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution describe, the destruction to Toms River impacted home, commerce and family: “No fewer than one hundred women and children were rendered homeless. The fathers were captured, carried away and killed; household goods were destroyed; mothers
and children were scattered, never as families to meet again.” The decades-long task of rebuilding in this wake was the subject of a special ceremony by the DAR at Good Luck Cemetery in Lacey. Revolutionary War patriot David Woodmansee was honored on May 18 at his grave site in Good Luck Cemetery. Woodmansee was Toms River Township’s first municipal clerk, 1783. The ceremony included members of the DAR and current Township Clerk J. Mark Mutter. If you look close enough, you can find several plots in Toms River and throughout Ocean County that bear a special designation, marking them as grave sites from notable people of the American Revolution. Toms River has several historic cemeteries where American Revolution soldiers are buried, including several plots on Washington and Hooper Avenue. Many of them have received dedications from the Huddy chapter of DAR throughout the chapter’s history. Special placards help mark the gravesite as an American Revolution soldier and patriot. This time of year, county volunteers put an American flag on those sites and for veterans throughout our history – there are more than 8,000 flags around Ocean County gravesites as a result. In his remarks at the May 18 ceremony, Mutter shared the impact David Woodmansee – and several generations of the Woodmansee family – had in rebuilding (Clerk - See Page 4)
Yearbook Shows Impact Of War
By J. Mark Mutter As we celebrate Memorial Day this year, a recent discovery in our local archives reminds us of what it’s truly all about. Hidden away in our old records was the 1943 school yearbook – “The Cedar Chest” – of Toms River High School (now High School South).
This “war edition” was “only a shadow of its former self” it proclaimed – due to the ongoing effort in the Second World War. 1943: The Axis powers surrendered their hold on North Africa and the Germans abandoned their submarine attacks on ocean convoys. The Nazis committed unspeakable atrocities in the Warsaw ghetto,
and Winston Churchill became the first wartime Prime Minister of Great Britain ever to address the United States Congress. He bluntly warned that many challenges lie ahead. In the 1943 yearbook’s dedication, it said: “The boy formerly behind the counter is (Yearbook - See Page 4)
Master Plan To Update North Dover, Ortley Beach Issues
–Photo by Bob Vosseller The first of several meetings on how to update the township’s master plan drew about 100 attendees. The next meeting is June 15. By Bob Vosseller TOMS RIVER – Residents said the remaining undeveloped parcels in North Dover, traffic along Route 9 to Lakehurst Road, and Ortley Beach’s rebuilding were key concerns they’d like addressed in an update to the township’s master plan. Close to a 100 people turned out to listen and provide input concerning the update of the community’s Master Plan during a special township Planning Board meeting on May 18. Township Planner Jay Lynch said municipalities are required to reexamine their Master Plan each 10 years. The last time Toms River underwent the process was 2006. A master plan serves as the blueprint for a municipality, determining the current state of land use within a community’s borders and providing a guide for future land use decisions. Master plans also set goals and guidelines for a community’s development. Development has become a hot issue for some residents in Toms River, specifically in North Dover and Pleasant Plains, where the Route 9 corridor is recently seeing the clear-cutting for future development approved there, whether commercial or residential. Rebuilding in the wake of Superstorm Sandy on the barrier island, and the small lots there, was also discussed at the meeting. Lynch said the meeting was “productive

Toms River after it was burnt to the ground. “The Woodmansees – and David was the first – truly were the founding fathers of our Township,” said Mutter, who also serves as the township historian. “Their history spans two eras in American history - - the Revolutionary War years as we gained independence and the early Federal years as we built a new nation.” With the British overrunning the town and burning it to the ground, so too did the pre1782 records of township get destroyed in the attack, Mutter said. “Our first Township records begin in 1783 ‑‑ as the British came to the village of Toms River in 1782 and had overran the patriot blockhouse and burned it and all buildings (but two) to the ground. With that, all of our early records were destroyed,” Mutter said. David Woodmansee is the first known township clerk, chosen in 1783. Much of the government records from that era are written by Woodmansee’s hand. “In that very first meeting in which we have a record – the Minutes of March, 1783 – in David Woodmansee’s own handwriting, history
shows the Township on a re-bound,” Mutter said. “Just a year previously, the British had destroyed the Toms River village. But here, in this first record, David Woodmansee recorded his appointment as ‘Town Clerk’ and that of sixteen other citizens to various positions in the Township government.” Mutter reflected on how that year’s government records are records of the town rebuilding, of coming back from the smoke and destruction of the year prior. The DAR honored Woodmansee with a special placard at his grave site denoting him as a patriot of the American Revolution. But Mutter said the impact of the Woodmansee family was seen in the multiple family members who served in local office, in generations through 1816. “Of the 17 appointments made that year, five were Woodmansees,” said Mutter of the 1783 minutes. “They really ran the town.” David Woodmansee would also serve as Commissioner of Appeals and Overseer of Highways in 1785 and Commissioner of Appeals in 1786. His son Samuel would be Overseer of Highways in 1784 and 1808, Tax Collector in 1804 and 1815, Commissioner of Appeals in
1814 and 1816, and member of the Township Committee in 1816. Among the nearly dozen Woodmansees who held local office, Gabriel Woodmansee’s titles create the longest list. Gabriel was named assessor for 18 years, overseer of the poor for 13 years, and held a half dozen other titles through 1812. Among them was serving as a Freeholder, constable and township committeeman. “We know who they were and we know their titles held. But, what were they doing? When you think about it, they were building a new community from out of the ashes of war of the 18th century and into the peace of the early 19th century,” Mutter said. The town clerk said the lineage of Woodmansees saw the township grow from a population 910, according to the 1790 census, to double that. “In 1820, by the time of the last Woodmansee in office, the population had doubled to 1,916,” said Mutter. “It is a remarkable story of the resilence of mankind and the triumph of the human spirit,” he said, concluding his speech at the dedication. “It is the David Woodmansee story. It is the Woodmansee family story. It is our story.”

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

Most people have never heard of a Master Plan as it relates to development within a municipality. To address the concerns that land development can have on a municipality, the legislature has provided a means to review and address the impacts of and control how growth is allowed to continue. This is done through the adoption of a Master Plan. The Municipal Land Use Law allows the Planning Board to prepare and adopt, after public hearings, a Master Plan document. This document is generally comprised of a report consisting of maps, diagrams and text presenting a statement of objectives and at a minimum, a land use plan element. The statement of objectives provides policies and standards for the physical, economic and social development of the municipality. The land use element is prepared in much greater depth. It takes into account prior development within the township as well as the physical features. These features include such things as topography, surface water, soil conditions, woodlands,

existing commercial and residential development. It also considers agricultural, industrial, educational and recreational uses. These factors form the basis of the zone plan and zoning ordinances that guide development within any municipality. In addition to the above, master plans may include additional sections commonly referred to as elements. These include a housing plan, circulation plan, utility service plan, community facilities plan, a recreation plan, conservation plan, economic plan, historic preservation plan, recycling plan, farmland preservation plan and a development transfer plan element. So why should you be concerned about any of this? The answer is very simple. Land development within the Township of Toms River affects our quality of life in many ways. Development can affect us positively and sometimes negatively. Left unchecked the negatives can far outweigh the positives that development within any municipality can have on the quality of our life.
The Master Plan is the blueprint for our municipality. It guides decisions for growth which will have an impact on our environment, infrastructure, property values and taxes. The Master Plan document includes general principles that support the purposes of the Municipal Land Use Law. These include such purposes as protection of public health, safety, morals and general welfare of our citizens. It ensures that there are compatible lands uses, densities and aesthetic designs. It provides for light, air and open-space while providing for preservation of cultural and natural resources. The last time our Master Plan went through a re-examination was in 2006. Master Plans are required to be re-examined every ten years. This process allows our municipality the opportunity to identify areas of concern and changes in land development in our community. During this re-examination period it is important that we identify changes in the assumptions, policies, regulations and objectives that were used
since the original Master Plan was prepared including any prior re-examination updates. Once the Master Plan re-examination is completed it will be presented at public hearings and eventually adopted by the Planning Board. Before our Master Plan re-examination is adopted it needs to go through a rigorous process. This process will insure that the Master Plan is successful and serves its intended purpose. One of the more critical components is to ensure public participation. Input by our residents, businesses and concerned citizens is not only desirable but, necessary if our Master Plan is to have any value in guiding the future development of Toms River. Equally important is the proper and thorough evaluation of existing conditions. This includes an evaluation of existing housing conditions and affordability, current zoning and land use, environmental constraints and current infrastructure assessments. While the Planning Board and Township staff have an enormous task in preparing
the Master Plan re-evaluation, it cannot be successfully completed without the assistance of competent experts. Experienced professionals in planning and land use are a key part of the re-examination process. The citizens, board members and experts will develop the objectives, policies and goals for the future planning of our community. After evaluation of all the public comment and resources each element of the Master Plan will be revised to reflect the visions for the entire community to provide a balance in the future development of Toms River. Long term planning is essent ial i n t he f ut u re g row th of ou r com munity. It helps to identify areas of concer n along with the necessary strategies to address them. The Master Plan provides a solid foundation to assist our Planning and Zoning Board as well as the Township staff, Administration and Council in guiding the f uture development of Toms River. We face a complicated process to develop a plan that is flexible and accommodates future
Jeffrey J. Carr growth but, with enough foresight and strength to guide this growth appropriately. The Master Plan re-examination is currently in progress. The Planning Board is holding monthly hearings to receive public input. I recommend that anyone with an interest in the future of Toms River attend the meetings. W hether you choose to actively participate in the process or simply attend the hearings to observe, your attendance will be an invaluable experience. Additional infor mation regarding the dates and times of the hearings as well as infor mation on the Master Plan Re-examination can be found on the Township website tomsrivertownship.com. As always I welcome your comments. Please feel free to e-mail me at jcar r@ tomsrivertownship.com. Have a safe and enjoyable summer.

Library Forum To Explore Gender Issues
LAVALLETTE – A forum exploring transgender and gender issues will be held at 7 p.m. on June 1 at the Upper Shores Branch of the Ocean County Library, 112 Jersey City Ave. The program, “Beyond Binaries,” will feature speaker Kiki Jamieson who serves as president of The Fund for New Jersey. The Fund for New Jersey works to improve the quality of public policy decision making on the most significant issues affecting residents of New Jersey and the region. Transgender and gender non-conforming people are subjects they are facing in the news recently, “From the controversies
over North Carolina bathrooms to Caitlin Jenner and reality television, issues involving gender identity and expression are getting a lot of attention,” Jamieson said. “Together, we will talk about how American political institutions deal with gender difference, and we will discuss some public policy implications,” Jamieson said. During the program Jamieson will explore the consequences of official identity declaration and will discuss the complexities of binary gender categories that include using examples ranging from incarceration to healthcare to education to marriage and child custody disputes. “I am looking forward to a lively discussion,” Jamieson said. The program is funded by the Horizons Speakers Bureau of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Kayaking Courses At Jakes Branch Park
BEACHWOOD – The Kayak Touring Two Day Beginner’s Program will emphasis safety, paddling techniques and equipment. Day One will include both “classroom” and on-the-water instruction. All participants will be required to successfully complete a wet exit from their kayak (turning the kayak over and swimming out). Day Two will give participants an opportunity to try out their newly acquired skills on a short trip. Fee includes kayaks and related equipment. Participants who do not complete the wet exit will not be allowed to attend the trip on the second day. All of the boats are single-person sea kayaks, also referred to as touring kayaks, and are designed for open water paddling conditions. They average between 14 and 16 and a half feet in length and are all decked or “sit-in” style boats. Spray skirts are worn over the cockpit and will be provided. Avoid wearing cotton clothing. Quick-drying fabrics such as a bathing suit or nylon water shorts are preferred. Those that have a wet suit may bring it. Come prepared with water shoes/sandals (no flip-flops or Crocs).

Awarded Best Kitchen Design! 104 Route 37 East, Toms River • 732-998-8862 –Photo courtesy Ocean County Library System Nate Vogel and his cousin, Hank Robinson, enjoyed playing with the chalk at Chalk It Up. TOMS RIVER – Residents and area visitors chalked up sidewalks, listened to guitar music and learned how to hula hoop during a special program held on May 7 in the township’s downtown area. The free family program called “Chalk It Up” was part of an ongoing partnership between the Ocean County Health Department and the Ocean County Library promoting a drug, alcohol and tobacco free life. It ran from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library, 101 Washington St. and the grounds of the Township Hall. Nate Vogel, 5, of Beachwood enjoyed stenciling stars with chalk beside his 4-year-old cousin Hank Robinson of Cherry Hill. Nate’s mother Aleda Vogel said,“My children and I were visiting the library and we saw this activity going on. They are really enjoying it.” Tim Lerche of Toms River and his 8-year-old daughter Julia had a similar experience. “It gave us something special to do. We normally visit the library on Saturdays and we saw this happening. We are having a lot of fun,” Lerche said. Ocean County Library Director Susan Quinn participated in the day’s event by drawing a colorful unicorn on the pavement near the library. “The Ocean County Library has worked with the Ocean County Health Department on many programs before and we were very happy to partner with them for this event,” she said. Quinn said Chalk It Up “brought together members of the community for an enjoyable experience and it also featured a very important message about drug addiction prevention. It is the library’s mission to connect people, build community and transform lives and this program helped do all of that today.” Leslie D. Terjesen, public information officer at the Ocean County Health De-
partment, said, “We have staff that are invited to our schools every day to provide substance abuse education; we know how important this is. We do programs from second grade through college age and also community programs for adults. The Health Department also has a wonderful relationship with our library system; it’s a great place to disseminate information.” “We thought what a great place and a fun idea to encourage kids to “chalk up” drug free messages on the sidewalks. Not only was it fun for them, anyone coming into the library was taking the time to read the messages,” Terjesen said. Beyond chalking up the sidewalk, attendees had the chance to participate in a number of activities. Erica Rodriguez and Elisa Waller of the Center for Health and Healing led a yoga session, librarian Karla Ivarson taught participants how to hula hoop and musician Pete Wagula played the guitar. Lakewood’s Kensho Dojo performed a martial arts demonstration and Ocean County Library mascot Sparks the dragon came out to greet children, write his name with chalk on the sidewalk and enjoyed a yoga lesson. Several county agencies were able to showcase their services during the day. Linda Davis, family services coordinator for the Ocean Community Economic Action Now, Inc. Head Start Program said that the event allowed her to bring greater awareness of Head Start to residents. Head Start is a federally funded program for children ages 3 to 5 years old from disadvantaged families. “The program is free and we have an open enrollment. We’d like people to become more aware of it,” Davis said. Terjesen said her staff and the staff of the Ocean County Library hope to make “Chalk It Up” a yearly event.

What Does Hearing Loss Look Like Across the Age Spectrum? 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.

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.

in that we had a good turnout and we covered a variety of issues, ranging from intensity of development on the barrier island, to the ongoing integrity of the residential areas near Lakehurst Road and Community Medical Center. Concerns were expressed about traffic problems on Route 9 and the potential for additional congestion in the Route 9 corridor as development continues to take place.” Route 9 and North Dover Lynch noted that “there is an awful lot of commercial property on Route 9 in the township up to Lakewood available so it is a significant area to address.” The planner also said that declining enrollment in township schools over the last 10 years would also be looked at. “The northern section of the township however has not seen the same degree of decline,” Lynch said. I nstead, that area is seei ng more building, even outpacing the barrier island building permits, said Council President Br ian Kubiel, noting that the building department had a record month for the number of building permits issued in March, a majority of which were from North Dover. Concerns of increased development in that area are what brought Nor th Dover resident George Slootsky to the meeting. “I came out here tonight to
see what will happen so I can decide whether or not to stay or sell. There has been so much building going on with condos and retail malls.” For resident Steve Honan, a sales associate of Rosetto Realty Group, the meeting was a fact finding mission. “I want to find out what will happen in the future concerning development.” Resident Roberto Blanco owns multiple properties in the township and was also interested in how the master plan will allow for development of commercial property. Ortley Beach and Waterfront Areas Officials said the Master Plan Update will also recognize recommendations made by the state Department of Community Affairs based on its help in post-Sandy planning assistance. The plan will address the impact Superstorm Sandy had on the Ortley Beach section of the township which remains in a state of reconstruction. Paul Jeffries, president of the Ortley Beach Voters and Taxpayers Association, said that since Superstorm Sandy, a lot of improvement plans were considered but “the people want to see some action.” Jeffries asked what the time factor would be on implementation of building ordinances that were needed in the area. Among the areas that OBVTA members wish to see reviewed include land use issues, parking issues; the home size and if house proximity; storm resiliency; and the future of the business
district on Route 35. As a resident, Jeffries also asked the Pla n n i ng Boa rd to add ress Fischer Boulevard and properties there including a marina “that hardly gets any use. It is time to take whatever action is necessary to make that area useable.” Lynch said that the area Jeffries referred to was part of a redevelopment study that began in 2003 which “still h a s some is s ue s t o b e d is c u s se d .” Lynch added that the result of a study by Rutgers University will lead to some zoning recommendations and that there was also an infrastructure issue to be addressed. Hospital Drive, Lakehurst Road Issues Penelope Boehle of Oliver St reet drew applause from the audience as she stressed to the board to retain restrictions in place from the current master plan for the protection of residential neighborhoods. “If it is a residential neighborhood, it should remain a residential neighborhood. If we don’t have protections within our Master Plan our neighborhoods will be gone,” Boehle said. Edward Traynor, also of Oliver Street, voiced opposition to a redevelopment project i nvolv i ng t he expa n sion of Health South that he said has adversely impacted the appearance and traff ic f low of Oliver Street and Smith Street neighborhoods. Traynor said residential homes had bee n bu ilt a nd t hei r “pu r pose wa s
changed to a purpose different from residential. There is also a danger in the traffic pattern.” Resident Barbara Steele pleaded with the board to make sure they included up -to - d ate t raf f ic repor ts f rom the township police department and other agencies when considering any changes within the Master Plan. “Look at the traffic f low in residential areas. Hospital Drive has frequent accidents,” Steele said citing a 2014 NJ Department of Transportation report. Next Steps Lynch said the township is reserving the second Plan ning Board meeting each month for discussions on longrange planning issues. The meetings will start at 6 p.m. Meeting dates going forward are June 15, July 20, August 17, September 21 and October 19. “Hopefully we will be able to hold formal public hearings on a proposed Master Plan by October. Zoning and related land use issues are generally at the heart of most discussions, and to the extent any zoning changes would be required as a result of an updated Master Plan,” Lynch added. Lynch said that the NJ Municipal Land Use Law requires that each change be identified along with the rationale for making the change. Public notice is required for the formal hearing. All other communication on the regular work sessions with the Planning Board will be provided on the Township’s website, tomsrivertownship.com.

Oyster Creek Confirms Nov. 2019 Shut Down Date
By Daniel Nee LACEY – The Oyster Creek Generating Station will shut down in November 2019, officials with the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission said in a recently released report. While the year of the negotiated closure of the Lacey Township plant was announced in 2010, the exact date of the shutdown has been the subject of much speculation, including questions as to whether the deadline could be met. Though licensed federally to operate through 2029, the plant’s owner, Exelon Corporation, agreed to shut down 10 years early to avoid a protracted battle with the state Department of Environmental Protection, which was pushing for expensive cooling towers to be installed at the site. Neil Sheehan, spokesman for the NRC, said in an e-mail that Exelon is expected to file a request with the agency in June that will detail its decommissioning plan. The license amendment, which will cover emergency procedures post-shutdown, will confirm the decommissioning date as November 30, 2019, Sheehan said. Minutes from an April 1 meeting between Exelon and NRC representatives was provided to The Times. During the meeting,
Exelon was told to coordinate post-shutdown emergency procedure with state and local agencies and to change its emergency plans to reflect requirements that affect permanently defueled nuclear plants. Even after decommissioning, Exelon will be required to keep numerous federal emergency protocols in place, the NRC said. A full “permanently defueled emergency plan” will be implemented between 12 and 16 months after the shutdown, at which point the zirconium fire potential is “negligibly small,” the report said. This December, Exelon will submit a full report to the NRC detailing the shutdown and emergency procedures that will be put in place, addressing numerous items, including the zirconium fire risk, spent fuel pools that will continue to exist at the site as well as seismic risks. Oyster Creek is the nation’s oldest operating nuclear power plant, and also a significant provider of both jobs and tax revenue in southern Ocean County. Lacey officials have been attempting to lure new occupants to the site in anticipation of the closure, and have said there is some interest in the site being turned into a natural gas plant.

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. I f you s e e 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 normally reserved for a general contractor. This trend was solidified 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 normally 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.

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.
